C. SPAULDING Judge Harrison To Speak Here Judge Harrison To Speak Here Judge William H. Harrison, of Chicago, Ill., Oklahoma jurist, and reputed to be the most brilliant platform speaker of today, will address the citizens of Norfolk at the First Baptist Church, Friday night, May 18th. Judge Harrison has been termed an intellectual giant and of his eloquence when on the public forum always comes a strong message.

It is always with delight citizens anywhere and everywhere receive the announcement that-Judge Harrison is to address them and he never fails to speak to crowded houses. "Breaking in jail" is street parlance used by the underworld in describing the actions of a person who takes a deliberate and foolish chance on getting arrested. And this is apparently applied to the anecdote of John Smith, who one day lost November, became savvy with a woman he chased per into the Second Precinct Police station. He chased the woman to safety at the same time took a great risk on his own freedom, because when the officers in the station house became interested in the little affair between him and the woman he was changing they arrested him. The searched him, which is of course, one of the rules of the police after making an arrest, and hold, the search revealed that Smith had a quantity of drugs in his possession.

He said that he was hired by his brothers, others, still, and paid $10 for his work, according to a statement said to be in possession of the police.

COLORED TO JOIN IN COMMUNITY DRIVE Trustees of Fund Ready to Receive Applications From Social Uplift Organizations of City. At a recent meeting of the trustees of the Norfolk Community Fund it was decided to invite the colored social uplift and charitable organizations to join in the Community Fund drive, which will probably be held in November. In order to properly qualify for participation in the drive it is necessary that each organization deciding to enter shall file immediately with Mr. William S. Royster, general chairman of the Community Fund, its budget for 1924, January 1st to December 21st, inclusive. It is desirable that the colored drive should take place at the same time as the white, in order that the white which will benefit both, and result in raising fund for taking care of the colored well as the white charities. as well as the Application has already been received from Tidewater Hospital, and it is hoped that all of the other or- don't know which one killed the man. To show you I did not shoot the buckshot that hit me are in the back and not in the front." Spellman was captured at the home of Richard Henderson, colored, about two miles away from the scene of the shooting. He had been there nursing his wounds for one week, and was effected by a tip pick up on his arm. Barnes brothers were seen riding up to the Henderson home on horseback. WHITE MEN ARRESTED The white men have been arrested on Spellman's statement. They deny that they were near the rifle range at the time of the shooting. The explanation that they offer for their presence at the Henderson home when Spellman was secreted in the house and a posse of officers was hunting for him, is that they had started to the home of another brother and passed by the house and passed in the other section. They stopped them to get water, they say. They admit that they talked with Henderson while there. Four other members of the Spellman family are in the city jail including Luke's father and three-brothers charged with being accessories to the murder. Richard Henderson and his wife are in jail charged with harboring a fugitive. The two white men have been arrested, one confined in jail and the other turned over to the custody of a Princess Anne county officer. Spellman makes a direct accusation that the white men shot the officers, they were arrested as accessories. RECALLS CHAMBERS CASE The Spollem case recalls the case of Jim Chambers who was killed by a posse after he had shot two Federal prohibition officers at Tittuwast last year. Especially does it recall the very significant remarks made by Rev. C. P. Madison when preaching Chambers' funeral. Dr. Madison warned colored men against bootlegging under any circumstances, but particularly against being hirelings for others in the nefarious trade. He emphasized the fact that it is the hireling that usually suffers most when the catch is made. He cautioned that the boss and owner is usually a man of superior intellect and craftiness, with influence and money, and seldom pays the penalty, for his operations, but the hireling usually of a low mentality and without means or influence suffers in the end.

Trigg, chairman of the Center and physician in charge of the Health Clinic, has received from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, a copy of a medical and surgical treatise recently issued gy Dr. Julius H.

HIGHEST PAID NEGRO IN OFFICIAL SERVICE Washington, D. C., May 11:—Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, is now the highest salaried government official of color in the United States. This distinction is made in the tangible form of an increase of $1,000 in his yearly salary. He now receives $6,000 a year. RESULT OF LEGAL EFFORTS This promotion is a recognition of the very valuable legal services Mr. Howard has rendered the government. He received his appointment two years ago and was assigned a large number of suits brought by various railroad companies against the United States. Many millions of dollars in claims against the government were filed. The railroad companies and the best lawyers they then sent. But Mr. Engaged in important work to his work enthusiastically and, as a result of the success with which he defended these claims against the government, the attorney general shortly after his return to the Department of Justice last week approved this promotion for him. ENGAGED IN IMPORTANT WORK A conception of the importance of the work in which Mr. Howard is engaged at the Department of Justice may be had from the fact during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, 91 railroad cases handled by the Department amount claimed was $4,999,415 and are disposed of. The claims, however, satisfied judgments for only $513,185, for a CHAS. S. MORRIS, JR. VICTIM OF ACCIDENT Narrowly Escapes Death When Run Over by Automobile on Mississippi Speaking Tour. (Special To Journal and Guide) Utica, Miss.—Just preceding his departure from Utica Institute, last Saturday after a well known colored orator of Nortfolk, Virginia, who came here to deliver the annual commencement address was knocked down and run over by a large automobile. It is said by his physician that his injuries are very painful, although not necessarily serious. He was picked up by a group of students and rushed back to the Utica Institute here. He had just delivered an address before several thousand persons at Hermanville, in Claiborne county. This section has had a great deal of rain recently. On the trip the car in which he made the trip was partially withdrawn at the foot of a large hill. He alighted in order to help push with the others when he lost his chance, tripped and was run over by the rear wheels. It was at first thought that his injuries might prove very serious, but a massive examination showed that no wound had been broken, and that no wound probably be able to leave his room in four or five days. However, his escape is thought to have been a very miraculous one as the big touring car weighed more than three thousand pounds. He is resting easily at this writing, and although some of his first engagements had to be canceled, it is believed here that he will be able to continue his trip through the South by the latter half of the present week Bootlegging on Wheels (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.-The trial of forty Pullman porters, charged with "Bootlegging" between this city and Florida, is now in progress here.

He now has 102 cases pending, in which the amounts claimed aggregate $3,901,204.45. He has also represented the government in two coal cases involving the question of the liability of the United States for losses incurred by producers in selling their coal at prices fixed by the Fuel Administration under the wartime powers given the President. In both of these cases he filed demurrers in which were sustained in the Court of Claims. The coal companies immediately appealed to the Supreme Court if, these test cases should be decided adversely to the government, the United States will probably be called upon to satisfy judgments amounting to millions. A FINE EXAMPLE Born and reared in Mississippi, his is a splendid example to the Negro youth of this country of the height which may be attained in the legal profession by application and determination. Kinston, N. C.-Stumbling into the home of a colored family in Lenoir county a little before daybreak Friday morning with her body bruised and bleeding, Mrs. Mary Hagen, a mulatto woman, 52 years old, told the family that she had been hauled in a automobile from her home in Greene county by four masked white men, three of whom had criminally assaulted her while all unmerciful beat and otherwise mistreated her and left her in a dazed condition lying in the county road. Her life was spared, she said, thru the intercession of one of the assaulters who pleaded that she be not killed. Mrs. Hagen reported the incident to the authorities of Greene county, who have taken seriously her story, it is said. However, it has not been reported that any blood hounds have been set out to trail the criminals, nor has she armed posse of infuriated cornered the assaulters in a wooded thicket with the expectation of an immediate capture, neither have, in so far as reports from Greene county reveal, several suspects been lodged in jail and subjected to the third degree. No reward has been offered for the capture of the fiends and no one has been arrested, as yet, it is stated, but the sheriff has intimated that he has in hand evidence which may result in two arrests. Investigation by the authorities, it is admitted, revealed that the woman had made remarks reflecting upon the character of certain white people living near Snow Hill. None of the group of these white people whom the sheriff thinks had a motive for assaulting the aged woman have been assaulted as arrested. Mr. Mary Hagen, 52 years old and already weakening from the infirmities of age; suffered this criminal acture according to her story, from four able-bodied white men whom the authorities believe were protecting their good names from what was supposed to have been slander. The woman, it is said, is being detained for further investigation and medical examination. FIRE TOTALLY DESTROYS COLORED GRADED SCHOOL Greenville, N.

He was in the active ministry than 61st-five years. more life, he born in Gloucester a slave, and spent all of his life there with his people. When the war between the States broke out, he went his master into the rebel army in his body guard. (When he was over he returned to live the life of preacher and worthy citizen in his home county. He felt the call to the ministry early in life, and began preparation for the same as soon as he could. He was taught by his sister and other Baptist preachers of those early days, who were able to help him in his work. He was baptized by a white preacher before the war. At that time he felt the call to the ministry. The way that he received his training for the work is very interesting indeed. He was called to the pastorate of the Bethel Baptist Church, which he served for more than forty years. He was a preacher of the first rank, though he was not trained in the schools of theology of these times. He clung to the Bible and preached the gospel He was a firm believer in education. He thought it a disgrace for a young man to start in the work of the ministry without preparation. He was a man of the most stalwart character. For seven six years he worked and taught with his people, and could speak ill of him. He was a man of worth to his county. He is dead, yet he speaks to those who are left behind.

SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1923 THOUGHT GEMS The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest and have nothing. — Proverb. bx. 4. Most natures are insolvent; cannot satisfy their own wants, have an ambition out of all proportion to their practical forge, and so lean and beg day and night continually. — Emerson. A friend that never fails us—the Dollar Bill, and the safest place for him, is in the savings bank or in the purchasing of a home. One paragrapher calls the marathoner as an exhausting endeavor. Now, just what is it they are endeavoring to prove. Liquor smuggling, banditry, divorces and troubles between sweethearts, heretical religious discussion, the French in the German Ruhr—there isn't much else in the daily newspapers these days, and it is all stupid and monotonic reading. And they do say the sun is not giving the earth the heat it is entitled to, which accounts for the freakish weather we are having. The Florida legislature has shown a stubborn indisposition to abolish the lash in the governor camps of the State, and some of the legislators who profit by conceive labor have shown by word that they deserve to be lashed the limit for their sordid, brutal and vulgar attitude towards the reform of the convict system. Of the 1,500 convicts in Florida camps quite a third of them are rated as white, but a blood test might show that fully half are white. The liquor enforcement business has been complicated by a decision of the Federal Supreme Court that American and foreign ships may carry liquors outside the three mile limit, but that neither may carry liquors within the three mile limit. Law enforcement such proportion to be beyond the control of the authorities and the decision will make it more so. The liquor question is bound to be a troublesome one in the next Congress. Splitting the Republican Party President Harding's adhesion to his suggestion that the United States obtain membership in the Court of International Justice, submitted for consideration by him to the last Congress just before it adjourned, has grown into a revolt of that influential body of Senators who opposed the League of Nations and talked it to death, a few of whom have opposed most of the Administration measures proposed by President Harding, including the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, the Ship Subsidy bill, the Liberian Loan bill. The recalcitrants appear to be determined to oppose any measure that President Harding may favor, the object being to prevent nomination. They belong to the Progressive Party, with Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, as their leader. There are some ten of them, and they are doing all that they can to weaken the Administration of President Harding and make possible the nomination of a Progressive to succeed him. They certainly have weakened the Administration of President Harding; they have done more, they have created unesasns and discontent in the party which amounts to a splitting of it into two distinct factions, with the indications that whether the President or a Progressive gets the nomination Republican success at the polls will be entirely problematical. President Harding began his Administration with the purpose of allowing the vice-president and the Republican senate to share with him the position of the high office. He now that he has got to take hold and boss the job alone, or he will have none to boss after the next election. It is an interesting position for a Presidentot be in, and we are sure President Harding regrets that he ever created it, without intending to do so, of course. Plenty of Work and Fair Wages The Associated Press has made a survey of the labor situation in which it finds that there is a wave of prosperity all over the country, with plenty of employment for all grades of labor and a steady increase of wages in all grades of labor, the only exception being in Louisiana, where there has been a sharp cut in the price of common labor. Just why there should be such a cut in common labor in Louisiana is not stated, but the presumption is that the rise in other sections will be reflected sooner or later in that State. The demand for common labor grows greater all of the time, owing to the restrictions of the immigration laws, and will continue to do so, with a shifting of the population as the demand grows to meet it. All of the centers where Southern migrant labor has been employed increase in the number of this class of labor, and they are forcing their way into grades of work in the North and West which has heretofore been closed against them. But the shortage in farm and common labor is said to be very great and urgent, and is likely to grow more so, as the wages and hours of labor in the standard industries are more inviting. Young white farmers and country working men are also deserting the farms and the country districts as the demand grows. This has its drawbacks, and there are those who figure that it may have a disastrous influence upon the crop output of next year in such a way as to favor the scarcity of farm products and consequent higher prices. This is true even now in the security and high cost of garden truck, which is commanding the highest possible prices, with plenty of buyers to take the limited supply. Poultry products are also commanding the highest prices, and be increased by the lessening of farm labor to supply the demand for meat in the standard industries. This is much to be regretted, as the farming industry is one of the most essential, and its production should always be as great as the demand, if not greater. Wage earners should be careful in the saving principle. It is the part of wisdom to save a goodly part of what is earned when the earning is good, as the economic conditions are such that sudden changes are always possible. We found that to be true after the deflation from World War prices began. Thousands of earners lost heavily in that deflation because of losses in farms and farms at inflated prices, based on the inflated wage scale, and could not meet their obligations when the slump began. Our workers should not forget that trying experience, from which many have not as yet recovered. What the "New" Negro Wants We are very much interested in anything that is new, but we have a notion that there is nothing new under the sun. The things, the ideas, the persons, we imagine to be new, in another time and place had existence in fact or in the imagination of some daring spirit who was not able to transmute them into fact. Lord Byron says very truthfully that "Many are poets who never penned a line, and perhaps the best," or words to that effect. With persons it is the same as with things; those who are new now were once old and those who are old were once new. In our aspirations now we are only building upon the dreams, the prayers, the hopes of the slave fathers and mothers, who began as soon as they got out of the house of bondage to build homes and churches of their own and to educate their children so that they might be better prepared than they were for the high stakes of their citizenship. In doing this no people were ever more handicapped or ever had more success than they, and they accomplished it by infinite devotion, persistence and sacrifice. We can never appraise too highly these qualities in our parents who came out of slavery into freedom. The New Negro proclaims it from the housetops that he is here and doing business. He has no reverence for the past or for those who gave him life and foundation upon which to build his vanity and ingrititude. Any way you look at him the New Negro is an object of curiosity and pity. There are more of the New Negroes in New York than anywhere else, most of them are without visible means of support and live by their wits. The Friends of Negro Freedom is a New Negro organization. Its secretary, Mr. George S. Schuyler, in a recent article in the New Yorker says that "the New Negro has largely laid his subservience aside like his deep virility" which is a sufficient measure of Mr. Schuyler's vanity and ignorance, as our forefathers were not all by far superstitious and servile; many were men of common sense and courage who laid the foundations of our churches in slavery and of our educational and business progress after and since the civil war. Mr. Schuyler says, further, as to what they want: The new Negro wants to see the United States really safe for democracy, with emphasis on the small "d." We believe in absolute political equality, economic equality, and social equality, and, what is more, we are aggressively working toward this end. Notwithstanding the ignorant and bombastic explosions of klan spokesmen the new Negro maintains that the United States is not a white man's country exclusively, but the country of citizens, and we stand by civil liberties, and the clan as well as the citizen. The Negro has done and is doing as much to build up this country as any other group, and we intend to harvest the reward of our labor the same as every other racial group in the United States. By this statement of his wants we find that the New Negro does not want anything that the old Negro did not want and fought for, and is fighting for now in his sons and daughters, except the social equality business, which is an impossibility, as there is no such thing among any people, the matter depending upon personal choice and not upon law. It is this very thing that the white people of the South are failing in, in all of their efforts for higher and better things; that is, in making an arbitrary rule of social order that all white people are good and in the same social scale as well as in law, and that all colored people are, reversely, bad and inferior and in the same social scale as well as in law. The principle cannot be enforced because there are good and bad in all races and groups and the two sorts refuse socially to be so classed as the same; and when they are so classed the lowest drag the highest down to the lowest. There are no new Negroes. We are all as old as our generation and no younger, and as young and no older. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Briefs and Spices Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) In the school of experience there are no degrees merited, yet in life A. B. stands for Ah, But! A current idea is like a glass of near-beer, the longer it sets the flatter it gets. "Souls for sale," is the gripping film title of Rupert Hughes's novel, with theoppressiveness coincides with the published facts of the Florida convict sale of souls. A chicago court can't figure how a 15-year-old girl spent $5,000 for chop suew within a month. That makes it unanimous. Letter carriers have been ordered to learn first-aid treatment. Probably on the theory that more people faint now than they feel before on account of the letters they get around the first of the month. Evidently the strained relationship our folks endure in the South Carolinas is related to the pound of flesh Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." The French commission composed of American "nistrocracy" is disposed to assume a 100 per cent attitude when Afro-America is exposed to the limelight. The great American novel may yet surprise us all by being written in the slang of the "Son down." WAYSIDE WISDOM Although its wrong I must confess to judge us mortals by our dress, But when I see a child dressed up in nifty clothes too tight to blink, I do not judge, but simply think, How wrong its parents in their might Conspire to make its future bright. When then I see a boy whose pants Give proof to freedom at a glance. My mind reverts to childhood days, When jeans and common homespun frocks Were worn without our shoes and socks; When there were fewer diptheria cases The children played in marshy places. There were no epidemics then, No chronic ills to keep us in. From morn till night we proudly romped With needles near of insect bite, Our hearts were free except a dread Of brewing troubles in the old wood- shed. ABOUT NOW'S THE TIME (A spring lay by J. M. Harrison) About now's the time, good neighbor you You'll hear the cackling of the hen, And find a shrew egg, ox. And find a shrew egg, horse will loap When in the nests you'll slyly peep- Forgetting cost of winter's keep. About now's the time you'll bring of her Who joined the "strike" in September, While paying the price of your yery How oft you longed for a hot How oft you called yourself a so- And ached to kill the whole d—lot! About now's the time you borrow yaw While the price of farmer you essay, And ask each night, Did our hen lay? O, fickle man, the world is dress Her, the world is dress—loser, Her, the world is dress—loser, Her, the world is dress—loser. MOTHERS' DAY Mother, Mother, Dear MOTHER Was there ever a pal like Mother, One who all our sorrows share, Was there ever a one so worthy Of reverence, love and care. No, there's no one on earth like Mother. She's an angel here below, So cherish her, love her, adore her, And all kindness and honor show. You will never get another, Here or in Heaven above, For God gave us only one Mother, Who has given her all through love. Let us all thank God for our Mothers, For those whom have passed away, And to those whose Mothers are with them, Help them, Oh, Lord to stay. Then give a prayer for Mother, When the evening sun is low, God help us to think of Mother, Forever and ever more. —AGNES IRENE THARPE. LAMBERTS POINT Rev.

OTHER EDITORS IN THAT CLASS TOO The editor of a country paper recently reported that he had received a news item from one of his many painstaking correspondents. The item read to the effect that a bride in the neighborhood had excited considerable comment among neighbors by kneading bread with her gloves on. The editor, seizing upon the opportunity presented, used the item in his paper, adding as an appendix: "The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes, he also needs it with clothes on, but if some of the delinquent subscribers buy up pretty soon, he will need bread without a darn thing on."

John Walton, an aspiring Negro lad from a Southern village, wins a scholarship at a Northern university. Here he encounters Philip Breckenridge, son of a rich man from the same place. Philip is hostile to John's boss at the university. John, being very poor, secures work with Prof. Bruce, and one night while in the Bruce home he overhears a mysteriousversation between Mrs. Bruce and a stranger. John also falls in love with Bruce'sPage. mode with suppressed emotion, Mrs. Bruce began in a strained voice: "A few minutes past you heard me talking with a man you did not see, and I know you are having some strange thoughts you are probably thinking that I—I am unfaithful to my husband! It isn't so, and when you hear my story you'll see that I am telling the truth." She paused, breathing heavily, then commenced again: "My mother—" A scratching at the door. A sound as if a key was being inserted. The two started. "There's Wellington now," cried Mrs. Bruce excitedly. She rose and with apparent composure went into the dining room. John buried himself in his book. Nothing more was said about the mysterious affair that even- The next evening John waited expectantly to hear, but Mrs. Bruce made no move toward telling him, although they were alone in the house. John, though, mystified, was silent, deciding that it was Mrs. Bruce who ought to take the initiative. She never brought up the matter again, and John noticed that a few days later she became much more cheerful, laughing and talking with vivacity as if a great burden had been taken from her mind. All of this puzzled him very much. How in the days to come he cursed the fate that interrupted the telling of the story. He decided later that the owner of the strange voice must have hidden in a closet when he entered. How else could he have disappeared so noiselessly? Wasn't that why Mrs. Bruce had refused his aid in coming down-stairs, he asked himself. The next Sunday John went to the little meeting place that served as the colored church, but the girl, whose name he had been told was Lucy Page, was not present at either the morning or evening service. ing or evenings later he returned to the beauty parlor. After lingering outside for a few minutes studying the pots of face cream and powder in the window, meanwhile, he saw a figure emerge from one of the little white canvas booths to disappear quickly into another one of them. His heart beat violently as he saw it was she—the very girl who at first sight had so irresistibly fascinated him. In her spotless white uniform and cap, and dainty shoes, she looked even more appealing. With all the ardor of early youth he felt that here, at last, was the one girl in the world for him—his dream girl in very flesh and blood. The next thing he decided was to gain an introduction. But, how? Rack his brains as he would, he could find no excuse for entering. A beauty parlor of all things on earth. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He would go in and buy a jar of face cream, then start a conversation! But he remembered that his sole wealth was twenty-nine cents. Twenty-nine cents! Face cream surely cost more than that. The only course, he decided, was to wait until he had received his five dollars weekly wage from the Bruces on Monday. "Well" he said, consolingly, somewhat relieved also at the prospect of no immediate encounter, "I've located her, any way." Two evenings later he was again sweeping the sidewalk when he heard footsteps behind him, and stepped aside quickly to let the person pass. One glance and he saw that it was the woman who had been with "Luclille Page" that first evening. "Here's your opportunity," said a voice impertively within him. Speaking up quickly he said: "I didn't hit you this time, did I? Good evening." "Good evening," replied the woman pleasantly, "Are you a stranger in Nortonville?" "Yes, very much of a stranger, I'm just lonesome for some colored folks." "Well, you must certainly come around and let me help you meet some. I'm Mrs. Montgomery and I live at 20 Elm avenue." "I'll be sure to come. My name is John Wiley." John Walton. "John Walton?" she exclaimed. "You're at the university, aren't you?" "Yes." "Are you the John Walton that won the Arnold Scholarship?" "Yes." "We have all been talking about you. Why, where have you been keeping yourself?" "I've been very busy. When you both passed last week I felt like speaking to you but I noticed that up North one doesn't exchange greetings without an introduction." out an introduction. "Now dot me to forget the address," she warned me, "she said good bye." "Let me know when you're coming and I'll have some friends to meet you." have some idea. Would I tell the Page be there was his first thought. He had been eager to tell about her but something with in his arm, him hesitate. in him made the following day he received a letter from his mother, assuring him that she had had no trouble with their neighbors, and thanking him profusely for the seventy-five dollars he had sent. This sum was the first installment of the scholarship fund. CHAPTER XI. When John Walton arrived in Mrs. Montgomery's cozy home through a raging snow storm the following Saturday night there were many present to greet him. He looked expectantly around for Lucille but did not see her. Later while he was talking with a guest he heard Mrs. Montgomery say: "Mr. Walton, I'd like you to meet Miss Page." He turned quickly around. Confronted at last with the girl he had been so eagerly planning to meet, he felt overcome by a wave of bashfulness. The dainty vision in the striped silk waist and smart serge skirt seemed to paralyze him. But he uttered the for- By J. A.

From talking about the snowstorm they went to discuss a variety of topics, the town, the university, the South, education. He was delighted to see that she was intelligent and well-informed. A bond of sympathy seemed to have been established between them from the first words that had been uttered. Her most commonplace words seemed to him divine. They laughed and chatted gaily and danced. Later when he offered to take her home and she accepted him her felt as if there was nothing else on earth that he would care to wish for. Thereafter they met every Saturday evening and Sunday. "You must not neglect your studies," she had warned. She declared her greatest delight was sleigh-riding, and on Lincoln's birthday the ground was well covered with snow, he hired a sleigh and called for her. To the merry jingle of the bells and the smooth gliding movement of the sleigh, the well-muffled pair struck out over the main road.

"There is no other pleasure in the world like sleigh-riding," she said ecstatically after they had covered several miles, "nothing else in the world gives you such a thrill." She burst into a joyous sleighing song. The song, the novelty of the ride, and swift movement over the road filled John with a strange sense of exhilaration. He felt as if some other fluid for more vivifying than blood was coursing through his veins. How good it seemed to be alive! When the song was finished John said gleefully, "Sleigh-riding is wonderful. It is thrilling, but I know something that is infinitely more thrilling—more thrilling than anything else on earth." He hesitated for one brief instant then added: "And that's just to be near you, here or anywhere." "Now, now, Mr. Flatterer," she moaned softly. warned gaily, "Lucille," he continued, "I have thought you were life's greatest thriller from the instant I first saw you. That evening on the sidewalk when I sprang around and found myself gazing into your eyes I was so thrilled, oh so thrilled. I felt as if some strange current of electricity had suddenly leaped from your being to mine. It has been coursing thru me ever since."

Secretary-Treasurer MADDEN'S SPRING AND SUMMER SALE A Few Specials Below: Quite overcome by the frankness of the confession, and the deep sincerity of his voice she replied: "I, too, experienced the same feeling the moment I saw you. To sit beside you is better than to listen to the most wonderful music." "And yet you never turned back to look at me, though I gazed so hard, hoping that you would," he said in mock reproach. "I was just dying to do so, dearest," she replied, "but I felt that you were looking at me, and I simply couldn't." Dropping the reins, John turned to Safe Fraternal Protection. (Continued From Page Seven) clasp her. She flew to meet him. Their beings fused in a close embrace. "I am so, happy," she murmured. "This is paradise," said John. When he returned to his little room that night he felt as if he had been invested with some indescriptable power. He had an incentive to work for new. There was the Stanton prize contest coming soon at the university. He meant to win that. There was a gold medal and $1,500 in cash to be given but what mattered that. He intended to win it for the glory of the thing. That same night he wrote telling his mother of his wonderful new adventure. Lucille, he painted in the most glowing language. Happy weeks followed. Winter fled. Spring came, the young lovers rejoicing in the re-birth of Nature. Then came tragedy. One evening in early May John went to the beauty parlor to wait for Lucille to appear. A two-seated car passed him. The sole occupant John saw, was Gregory Leigh, an intimate friend of Philip Breckenridge and also from the South. The car drew up in front of the beauty parlor and he saw Leigh get out and enter the establishment. A few minutes later, thunderstruck, he saw Leigh emerge accompanied by Lucille. Petrified with amazement John saw Leigh help Lucille into the closed car, jump in beside her, and drive off. She was beaming with smiles. It seemed to him as if all power to feel had suddenly been withdrawn from his body. He staggered and would have fallen but for a wall. He had ever heard about the faithlessness of woman now surged into his mind. Dazed, crushed, humiliated, he staggered home. "I hate her!" he said aloud savagely. He ground his teeth; "Good God, must a black man forever have to put up with this sort of thing." Passers-by gazed at him strangely. Recklessly he plunged across the main street. Presently he heard a sharp rh-r-r, and heard a loud oath. Glancing up he saw the angry face of a driver who had stopped his automobile but a few inches from him. He stood and he would have run over him. "I wish to God it had killed me," he murmured for he staggered on. One thing he decided savagely, he would never speak to her again. "White men," he said, "have but one use for our women." He writhed as he recalled her free manner with Leigh. It was the same smiling, happy way in which she had always grown in her heart. "God only knows how long this sort of thing has been going on," he said bitterly. Back in his little basement room he flung himself on his bed. Racked with mental torture, he saw the photograph of his mother on the table. How much nearer she seemed to him now in this hour of misfortune. Here was one woman who would be true to him, always, always. He gazed at the dear features long and earnest, then suddenly started as if stung. His arm drooped and the picture fell to the ground. "Good God!" he cried in agony. "She, too. Is it in the blood? God help me! God help me!" The following day he went about his tasks in a dreary mechanical manner. "If I could only forget! If I could only forget!" he mouthed. Philip Breckenridge was seated in the cosily furnished den of his elegant apartment. Scattered on the table beneath the beams of the expensive lamp were books lying open and much manuscript. Apparently in deep meditation he held an open letter in his hand which drooped over the chair. "I must make it!" he said aloud. "I simply must. I can't let that nigger beat me." A knock. Philip arose and opened the door. A student with a freshman's cap瞪ed. What? You aren't ready?" gasped the newcomer. "Why we are late now." "Can't go tonight Gaston. I must get down to, my mathematics. Awfully sorry, old man, but I'll have to meet the james another time." "Can't go? You're joking. Phil. After all the trouble I've gone to make the dates. The girls will be awful sore." "Can__'t skip it just the same. Get another follow." "Can make me sick with your eternal cramming" scowled Gaston Leigh. "You must come." "I can't, I tell you. I can't afford to let that nigger beat me again. I've got to win the Stanton prize. "Oh, "cut it, Phil," sneered the other. "I must win that medal, I tell you. I have just had a letter from father, saying that he is expecting me. I think that nigger get it. Think how it would sound back home — the grandson of the ex-slave, Peter Breckenridge bent the son of the master, Philip Breckenridge. You see the position I am in. Go, like a good fellow and make some excuse to the janes for me. "But just this one evening won't hurt, Phil," pleaded Gaston. "Come on. Put on your hat and coat like a good fellow, and let go." "I can't. The tests are tomorrow!" MAKE YOURSELF MORE ATTRACTIVE No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and attractiveness as beautiful hair.

"We aren't in the South," he said dryly. "There ought to be some way out—some way of eliminating the nigger." "I don't see any," said Philip. He added whimsically. "Would you have me knock him on the head?" "I'd d—d well like to. But, as you said, this isn't the South." Gaston pondered for several moments. "I have it," he cried. "I have it." "Well?" "We'll buy him off." "Buy him off?" "Yes. Offer him a few hundred dollars—hive hundred, say." "The prize is fifteen hundred, not to speak of the medal." objected Philip. "Niggers are improvident. They never look ahead. He'll take the five hundred, never fear. I know niggers, if you don't." "Well, this happens to be one nigger I know that won't be satisfied with that." "Well, offer him twenty-five hundred, if necessary. With him out of it, you get it all back. By how much you get your money?" "Only half a point, and I'm five points ahead of Abernethy, who comes next." "You're sure to win it back." "The money doesn't count with me. I'd give ten thousand if necessary. It's the prestige—the prestige which counts, counts nothing for the nigger." "That's right. If he wins it it won't count. He'll be a nigger just the same. It's the money that matters with him." "The question is, how we are going to put the proposition up to him," inquired Philip. "Let me that to me." "Will you?" "Yes, on one condition—that you come with me." No reply. "Is it a go?" Philip nodded. "Good, I will telephone the girls and tell 'em we're on our way, and to show you that I mean business, we'll drop in at the nigger's as we go. He's there now. You can wait outside. We won't have any trouble, I promise you." Suddenly in the car they speeded along the leafy avenue. Presently Philip said: "Say, who is that nigger girl I saw you last Thursday about six?" "Oh, that's Lucille Page from Madame Jean's beauty parlor. She's some beauty, I'll say. Um-um-m." "Hasn't she a friend?" asked Philip eagerly. A friend? Why, I tried the hardest way to make a date with her but we just impossible. She turned me down cold." "Turned you down cold?" said Philip doubtfully. "That's funny. What was she doing in your car then?" (To Be Continued Next Week) CHASE CITY Mr. Robert C.

Samuel goes in search of a King-Va. 2. David in the旷野. Lord brought David up in the sheep The Lord brought features, that a ground work of character might be groundwork of character might be the simple and unvictim form of feelings. He took him to camp, and made him conquer, that he might be filled with noblesse of soul and ideals of glory. He placed the palace. He placed the he might be filled with ideals of mastery of sovereign might, and the wilder features, that the groundwork of character might be laid amongst the similes and universal forms of feelings. He took him to camp, and him conqueror, that he might be filled with noblesse of soul and ideas of glory. He placed him in the saddle, that he might be filled with ideas of majesty and sovereign might. He carried him to the wilderness, and placed him in the attitudes, that his soul might sleep alone in the sublime conquest of God and his might works; and kept him there for long years, with only one step between him and death, that he might be well schooled in trust and depend. from the PPE commanded Samuel to mourn mourning Samuel for he had been rejected. Samuel is told by God to go to the house of Jesus in Bethlehem, and select one of his sons to be king in Saul's steal. A quarry; a country; Samuel to death. The King would seize Samuel to death. If he leapt real reason of Samuel's visit to Bethlehem, is commanded by God to go to Bethlehem, as though he is to sacrifice, and then Josee to the Sacrifice. So Samuel did as God commanded. The question has often been raised, Was God intentionally arrangement not objectionable? Was it not an act of duplicity and deceit? Undoubtedly it was an act of concession but it does not follow that it was an act of duplicity. The act of a thing being under was no objectionable injustice. When concealment is ordered in order to take an unfair advantage of anyone or to secure an unworthy advantage over him, it is detestable obligation to reveal, what you are under obligation to reveal, what your concealment end is to be gained, different thing“ Blake. in quite a Sons of Jesus pass in Review before Samuel. V. 6-10. Gurdubhsh human judgement. Not the bravest, worstest of strength us is entitled to say who shall be sent on the Lord's saints. Joseph Parker. Jesus made his sons in all pass before Samuel his sons was favorably impressed the countenance and height of statue of Elijah. He was rejected because God does not see as man sees. God looketh men the heart. "What thou are before thy God, that thou art and nothing more." Alhambad and Shahab also passed before Samuel and other four sons of Jesus. Neither one of the seven had in their stuff out of which the right kind of is king could be made, when all they were rejected. When God measures men in the next world, he will not put the tape about their heads, he will put it about their heart. Henry Ward Becker. David Annotated King by Samuel, Vs. 11-16. "He had been divinely chosen, and up to the measure and ability of his day he knew that God who had chosen him. He was not chosen for the qualities which had commended Saul. It was now an internal, not body but soul; not bigness of body, but bigness of soul: not power, but courage not仁ness, but stability; not bigness of wisdom not仁ness, but God仁ness. He had been none like him before."¹ The prophet was apparently non-plussed. Being learnt that the youngest son was kept keeping the sheep, Samuel sent him as he would be sent to the city, brought enough sustenance, and goodly to look to. Then Samuel, at the command of God, arose and assisted David in the midst of his brethren; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him that day for reason, and the instances in the inspired history, the younger, the least noticeable is preferred, and preferred on account of recurrent fitness of disposition and character to accomplishment of God's special purpose, preeminently with this appointment. Butler. BRIGGSOGRNS **BUTIGA.** We are unanimous to tell all the truth; but let that you tell he the truth. Man qualifications-right disposition; heroic real-ther than body qualifications—a beautiful commencement of stature to be nearly. All the World's greatest men come from the humble walks of life.

Lawrenceville, Va., May 3rd—St. Paul succumbed to National Training School here today in a fast game by the score of 8 to 6. Wallace shut out the sluggers and fast fielders, who played in big league form, until the sixth frame, when an avalanche of hits netted National seven runs. Neither Williams' nor Hargrove's advent on the mound was made in time to reverse the score. The visitors scored their eighth run in the eighth inning. Each team played good, scientific ball, but in the pinches the red, white and blue remained in an atmosphere of stick-to-it-ive-ness. The Tarbecks had ten errors chalked up against them, and connected for nine safeties. The Sorebacks tallied nine errors, and drew six hits. Cooke's right field work featured the contest. Bruce batted timely, and did defensive work of a superior shortstop. Coffield's performance shortstop was perfect, while Penny protected the old first sack to perfection.

The visiting team played excellent ball until their eighth offensive inning, when, with a margin of six runs, they punctuated their splendid record of sportsmanship by attempting to be little and humiliate the local team. Coeffel starred for the North Carolinians. Penny laumed the pill for a circuit, Sparrow and Alston each connected for a triple. St. Paul played a hard game, and fought to a finish. Parker, Cooke, and Blackwell were St. Paul's outstanding players in today's tilt. Blackwell got the cork center for a double. Southpaw Hargrove twirled a deceptive ball and proved himself effective.
