IS ADMITTED TO BAIL IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000 (Special To Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va., May 17.—Judge Richardson in Hustings Court Tuesday over-ruled a motion for a new trial in the case of John Mitchell, Jr. convicted by a jury two weeks ago for alleged irregularities in connection with the management of the Mechanics Savings Bank. Mr. Mitchell's counsel noted exceptions, and he was bailed in the sum of $10,000 pending an appeal to the State Supreme Court. Mitchell was represented by an able array of counsel, including George E. Wise, former.commonwealth attorney; S. S. P. Patterson, R. L. Montague and J. T. Hewitt, the latter one of the leading colored attorneys of the Richmond bar. The hearing Tuesday consumed three hours. Arguments were made on technical points raised by the defense in their motion to set aside the verdict of the jury. Commonwealth's attorney Dave E. Satterfield, argued for the State. ISSUES STATEMENT In last Saturday's issue of *The Planet*, John Mitchell, Jr., issues a statement on the case, and, among other things says: "We stake forty-five years reputation or honesty, integrity and honorable action against ten months' aspersions of our enemies and those who desire to profit by the failure of the greatest financial institution of the colored people. Our primary object and desire is to reimburse any of our people who have invested in any enterprise fostered by us. "The money belonging to us and to the organizations which we are affiliated was taken by others or was accustomed to other accounts, so that when checks were drawn upon the account there was no money to meet them. There was no other course for us to pursue, other than to assume complete responsibility. Our ledger sheets at the bank had been stolen, removed in order to cover up these peculations and to make us the victim." Canadian's Views On American Lynching (Br. The Associated Negro Press) Toronto, Canada.—The following letter from one of the leading citizens of this city, recently appeared in the Toronto Telegram. "Sir: Your leading article on the attempt to lynch a street car motorman who was unfortunate enough to run over and kill a little lad in Montreal the other day strikes a timely warning. "We are noted as a people for our excellent record in respect to this lynching business. Toronto especially. "The loss of life through "running over" is forever growing and has reached alarming proportions, but that is no reason why people in unreasoning hysteria should allow themselves to become murderers. "This lynching is one little American failing that I do not think is uncouteous to denounce as monstrous, and I hope we Canadians have more sense than to start copying it.—Bertram C. Dickson." RACE MAN BEQUEATHS $150,000 TO TUSKEGEE RACE MAN BEQUEATHS $150,000 TO TUSKEGEE Largest Bequest Ever Received By The Institute From a Member of The Race. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-One of the most significant features of Dr. Robert R. Moton's annual report for the year 1921-1922, to the Board of Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute was the evidence of the growing interest on the part of colored people in supporting the work of the institute. The most recent indication of this "growing interest" is found in the will of the late W. T. Ewing, a wealthier Negro of Haywood, California, the document disposed of an estate valued at approximately $150,000 all which is left to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. This is the largest request ever received by the institute from a member of our group. Concerning Mr. Ewing, the Oakland, California Tribune commented in part as follows: Dwings' life was, one of, romantic interest. He was, born a slave, being free by the Lincoln proclamation that he was still a small child. When young man, he engaged in misguid Democratic Mayor Appoints Colored Corporation Counsel Chicago, Ill.—The first announcement of a colored appointee under the new democratic mayor, was that of Attorney Earl B. Dickerson, who has been made Assistant Corporation Counsel at $2,400 per year. Mr. Dickerson, who is an able young lawyer and graduate of the Chicago Illinois University, is also Counsel of the Gilbert Post of the American Legion. He took an active part in the campaign. Bishop Carey's son, David Carey, who held an investigator's job in the corporation counsel's office under the Thompson regime, has been held over by the democrats and given a raise in salary. ance in Iowa and in 1887 he went to Tacoma, where he took up a home-stead. Later he served in the police department and went to Alaska in 1896, just prior to the gold rush. Being on the ground when gold was discovered, he was among the first to stake out claims and in a few days he had a modest fortune laid by. After several years of prospecting he struck a claim in 1903 that cleaned up $40,000 in ninety days. "He decided to invest in permanent Alaskan property and purchased several lots in Fairbanks which he later resold at a large profit. Some of his present estate includes property in various parts of Alaska. "In 1904 he came to Oakland and purchased large holdings of realty, some of which have since become highly developed residential districts." MORRIS THRILLS BIG S. CAROLINA CROWD MORRIS THRILLS BIG S. CAROLINA CROWD Columbia, S. C.—Speaking from the platform of the Billy Sunday Tabernacle here on Sunday afternoon, upon which sat the dignitaries of South Carolina, from Governor McLeed down, and official Columbia, as well as the most representative group of colored citizens who ever attended a meeting in the capital, and facing more than 4,000 persons of the two races, who jammed their way into the huge building, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, silver tongued orator, spoke brilliantly, eloquently and bravely in the heart of the South. Today he fung down the chair to the white democracy and Christianity of the South. He assorted in stirring phrase, "Liberty has always been a fundamental guest of man Real or fancied he has fought for it in the arena of war, and perished for it in the theatre of conquest. Today members of my race are departing from childhood scenes in the South with the speed of the feathered tribe. I would speak no fear to troubled hearts, nor enthrone hopeless views. But this I say: When court houses shall become temples of justice, and velvet clad judges shall utter the language of the law, when the hand of the Negro shall hold that sparkling jewel—the ballot, when school houses shall smile sweetly from placid mountain brows, when mob violence shall vanish from the golden face of Dixie as dew before the summer's sun, when the chains of peonage shall be destroyed, and the fetters of the wage slave he broken, when faith may whisper in the ears of all men, whether you are proud Anglo Saxons or this humble man's cut on ebony. If the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul; when love shall supplant hate, and the spotless deed of white bring joy to men—the gentlemen of the South, these two races shall walk together until this island of time is united with the continent of eternity."

RELATIVES DENY REPORT SUICIDE FEARED ARREST RELATIVES DENY REPORT SUICIDE FEARED ARREST Claim That Young Man Killed Himself To End a 15 Year Illicit Association With an Older and Married Woman. HAD WORKED FOR SAME EMPLOYER NEARLY 20 YRS. Joseph Bernard Jones, 31, who committed suicide Friday afternoon of last week by taking carbolic acid at his home, 606 Brewer street, did not kill himself thrue of being arrested for lar. arrested for tarcsey, according to a statement made by his brothers and sisters, who, on the other hand assert that the motive for their dead brother's rash act was far deeper rooted and more sinister in his life than the concern of any money matters or fear of prison bars. Mr. Jones killed himself after brooding over what he considered a life ruined and wreck- seny, according to a statement made by his brothers and sisters, who, on the other hand assert that the motive for their dead brother's rash act was far deeper rooted and more sinister in his life than the concern of any money matters or fear of prison bane. Mr. Jones killed him a fifth breeding over what he considered a life ruined and wrecked thru nearly fifteen years of association with a married woman, much older than he, and with a family of six or seven, young children, is positively asserted in a statement made by his relatives and designed to lift from the memory of their dead brother the suspensions cast upon it thru the report that he was guilty of theft. AT DAIRY TWENTY YEARS Jones lived alone at the Brewer street address. He worked for the Rosedale Dairy, where he had been employed for nearly twenty years, having been with the firm when it was the Hollywood Dairy. When the Hollywood concern went into bankruptcy he left it for a short while, but returned with the same managers when they organized the Rosedale Dairy. It was reported to the police by Mr. T. P. Moses, part owner of the dairy, that he on Friday evening went to Jones' home to take him back to the plant at 17 Foster's lane to question him, concerning an alleged theft, and when they neared the dairy, Jones began foaming at the mouth. Arriving at the dairy, Mr. Moses said he had Jones placed on the platform and notified police Leon. Detective Leon Nowitzky investigated the case and when he arrived at the hospital, found Jones in a serious condition. He rushed him to St. Vincent's Hospital, where Jones died shortly afterwards. The body was viewed by the city coroner, who pronounced death due to suicide by carbolic acid. At Jones' home detective Nowitzky found two empty vials that had contained carbolic acid. Fear that he would be arrested for larceny was attributed as the probable cause for his act. RELATIVES SCOFF ACCUSATION His relatives place no credence in the report that Jones worried over any shortage in his accounts. They say that it would have been impossible for him to have been short any large amount and conceal it, because the drivers are required to make daily ' The school has been the recipient of several substantial bequests and donations this year for specific purposes, one of these being a donation from Mr. John D. Letcher, of Lexington, Va., to build a hospital, in memory of his wife, who for twenty-five years was the first and only president of the Woman's Auxiliary of Southern Virginia. Another was a donation of $15,000 towards the erection of a new dormitory for girls, given by the women of the Church through the United Thank Offering at the General Convention at Portland, Oregon, in September, last.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Would Raise Million To Stem The Exodus Jackson, Miss.—Frederick Sullens, owner of the Daily News, in a two-column earnest article captioned, "Here is solution of Negro Exodus," urges a million dollar endowment for the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, in Utica, Miss., as a means of proving that the South desires colored people to remain. Mr. Sullens concludes: "I have studied the question for more than twenty years and I am thoroughly convinced that there is but one way out, and that is thru education and the Christian religion." reports of deliveries and collections, and his day's business did not amount to more than $18.00. Furthermore, they add that they (his brothers) were well able financially to make good any shortage that their brother may have sustained in his report, and if such were the case he needed only to notify anyone of the three of them, which was an easy matter as one of the brothers was an associate employee of his at the dairy. Again, they add, Jones had no cause for using any of his firm's funds as he earned sufficient for his requirements, or could have secured, additional funds from any one of the brothers. And what, is more, they assert, granting that he was short a few dollars, which they doubt was the case, he well knew that if he was arrested he would have the backing of his relatives thru any court proceedings. With these deductions they dismiss as "bosh" any suggestion that their brother worried over impending charges of theft. CLAIM A WOMAN INVOLVED But they assert that it was positively true that for nearly fifteen years a middle aged married woman with several small children had exercised a powerful influence over Joseph Jones, which, he, under the begging and pleading of his brothers and sister, had tried time and again to throw off. Whenever his sister and brothers would point out to him the awful consequences that must inevitably ensue on account of the illicit relations between him and the woman with a family, as she, stanceless, case precluded any single end, he would answer, according to information volunteered by one brother, "Many see, but a few know what I demand. I wish I could break away from that woman." His relatives state that to them it appeared to be one of the strangest cases of infatuation in which the weaker will was absolutely under control of the stronger and more determined. At times, they said, Joseph would become interested in young women without family entanglements whose ages more nearly approximated his, but as soon as his paranour learned of this she would seek the young woman and a big fuss would be the result. He watched and haunted by this woman, they said, who seemed to grow more determined that the young man should not escape her clutches as she grew in age. The dead man's relatives claim that this relation between him and the woman began when he was a little more than sixteen years old and she was then grown, and continued until he in desolation, ended it by the suicide route. The name of the woman in question was readily volunteered, but is being withheld for the present. According to an investigation said to have been made by Jones' surviving mother, it has been disclosed that there was negligence that was almost criminal on the part of the parties who had first knowledge of Jones' peculiar actions on Friday afternoon. It is said that Mr. Moses received a telephone call at his office between four and five o'clock Friday telling him to call at Jones' house on Brewer street and get his horse and wagon as his driver was about to commit suicide. The voice was said to have been that of a woman, and a certain woman has admitted, that she sent the call. Mr. Moses arrived in his car, when the woman remarked, it is said, "I don't know what is the matter with Barney. He is trying to kill himself. He has taken some poison, but he won't take any more." EMPLOYER GETS HIM Mr. Moses had the man to get in the car with him and started off to his office. The relatives say that is appears to them that Mr. Moses was concerned more about whether the man had his daily receipts with him than he was in ascertaining if he had actually taken any poison. Whether he endeavored to learn from Jones if he had taken poison after being phoned of his attempt, is not known. But he did not drive to the hospital with his man, instead he went direct to his plant, passing one of Jones' brothers at the corner of Mariner and Fenchurch street, with the man then dying from the effects of his dose, according to a statement made by this brother. The brother did not think anything peculiar about seeing Jones and Mr. Moses riding in the car, he stated. Before Mr. Moses got Jones to the office to question him about the day's collections, or to secure them before he should die, or at least, according to his own statement, to question him about an alleged theft, the man was FAMILY UNMET AT UNION STATION IS NEARLY STRANDED Mother and Six Children, Strangers in City, Much Confused When a Looked-For Uncle Fails to Show Up. TRAVELERS AID WORKER STRAIGHTENS THINGS OUT A middle aged mother with six children arrived in this city over the Southern Railway from a Virginia town recently. The woman emerged from the platform dressed in ing carrying one small child in her arms and with five others huddled around her. She was immediately spied by the local Travelers Aid worker who approached and asked, "Can be of help to you?" "Yes, somebody help me," the mother replied. "I lost my nusband five months ago, my brother died just one month ago. I received a telegram from New York yesterday to come to my oldest daughter of 16 years old, who is very sick. I wired my brother at Portsmouth. Don't see why he isn't here to meet me." All of this was said nearly on one breath. "When did you wire your brother," asked Travelers' Aid worker. Just before I left home, I wanted him to meet me here so that I could send the children on to my people in North Carolina and I go on to New York," she said. "Perhaps your brother did not get your telegram, or maybe he will be here in a little while," answered Travelers' Aid, at the same time inviting the perplexed mother to the waiting room to have a rest. CROWD GATHERS Meanwhile a number of anxious and interested persons had gathered around the nervous woman with her children clinging to her, asking mama if she was going to find uncle for them. It was indeed a perplexing situation for both Travelers' Aid and the mother, as there was no way that the brother in Portsmouth could be reachable telephone. A woman friend in Norfolk was mentioned. An attempt was made to reach her phone, but failed. A taxi to Portsmouth was suggested, but the fare was entirely too high for the grieved mother. MAN OFFERS AID A man who had been eyeing the womah since she alighted from the train came close enough to listen to the conversation while Travelers' Aid was trying to think of a way out of the situation. He heard her mention her brother's name and he immediately came up and informed the woman that he knew her brother and that he was a distant relative of his. Taking her suit case he offered to accompany her mouth. The woman objected that he was a relative of her brother and herself, but after asking a few questions relative to the family she was satisfied that the man was third or fourth cousin, whom she had not met in years. The two started off together. Travelers' Aid had not been convinced that there could have been such good fortune and questioned the man further, relative to his employment and address, and after he had identified his relationship to her satisfaction, the man and woman left for Portsmouth ferry in glad humor. About 6 o'clock that afternoon, a man appeared in the Union Station and informed Travelers' Aid that he had given his name and the place his sister was to come from, they were immediately associated with the incident which had just occurred. He was told the story and hurried home to find his sister and her six children at the supper table. They were all seen the next morning boarding Norfolk's Southern Thru-Travelers zebrahbeth N. Thru Travelers' Aid once more demonstrated its great work in guiding strangers thru Norfolk's gateway. John H. Deloatch Dead; Funeral Sunday Mr. John H.

EDUCATION IN SOUTH IS MAKING PROGRESS (BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY) Hampton, Va., May—The State agents for colored schools in 14 Southern States, who recently met for a three-day conference at Hampton Institute, were introduced by Principal J. E. Gregg, as "the group of men who are doing the most important work that is being done in the South for the improvement of colored public schools." Leo M. Favrot, Baton Rouge, La, referred to Hampton's service to the South through its graduates. He stated that in Louisiana the colored school population had increased 3 percent in 9 years, while the number of colored teachers had doubled and the salaries paid to colored teachers had quadrupled. In 1913 two-thirds of the white school children were enrolled In 1922 three-fourth of the school children and third of the colored children were enrolled. "There growing sentiment," he said, "that we must do more for our colored children. N. C. Newbold, Raleigh, N. C. stated that North Carolina is now spending between $3,500,000 and $4,000,000 annually on its colored schools. "We have built," he said, "287 Rosenwald schools at a cost of over $1,000,000. Forty more Rosenwald schools must be completed by June 1. These schools will cost $120,000. Three years ago North Carolina had 1000 colored teachers with State certificates. Today the State has 2250. North Carolina is making an earnest sineree, and faithful effort to do its duty by its colored people. Some of us have a hope and an ambition that we may live to see in our State—not only there, but all over this country—such conditions obtain as will make of the races friends and helpers and cooperators for the upbuilding of our country." W. T. B. Williams, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., field secretary of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, said: "American Negroes have had stimulated within them the sense of resentment that they have been less fortunate than they are. That impulse has sent hundreds into the work for the uplift of others." Taxes Must Support Schools Dr. James Hardy Dillard, Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, declared that he discovered many years ago that all the millionaires in America could not educate the people. There is only way to do the job," he said, "and that is by public taxation. That is the way it must be and ought to be." Doctor Dillard said that the Hampton Institute students are chosen ones who must through service give their less fortunate brothers and sisters a fair chance. "These State agents," he said, "are making it possible to bring the school out to the little child in the country, and, please God, we are going to keep at this work until every child shall have a good school to go to, where he may get the light of knowledge and good-will and good training to be a good citizen. Other members of the conference included Dr. Wallace Buttrick, Trevor Arnett, and H. J. Thorkelson, New York; B. C. Caldwell, New Orleans; O. H. Bernard, Nashville; J. H. Brinson, Tallahassee; F. C. Button, Frankfort, Ky; W. F. Credle, Raleigh; E. A. Duke, Oklahoma City; J. B. Felton, Columbia, S. C.; G. H. Ferguson, Raleigh; Mm. D. Gresham, Richmond; Bura Hilburn, Jackson, Miss.; J. H. Hill, Atlants; J. W. Huffington, Baltimore; J. S. Lambert, Montgomery, Al.; J. A. Presson, Little Rock; L. W. Rogers, Austin, Tex.; and S. L. Smith, Nashville. Addresses were also made by Lawrence H. Parker, Amherst, Mass., editor of "World Agriculture," who stated that no permanent society of nations could be organized without the proper adjustment of those economic difficulties which center about Jackson Davis, Richmond, Va, field agent of the General Education Board; and by Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, Chicago, secretary and acting director of "The Julius Rosenwald Fund." SOUTH NORWALK South Norwalk, Conn.-All of the churches here held Mothers' Day observances Sunday.

Don't you know I have been accused of stealing?" is reported as saying when accused by the mob. It is possible for such a plea to have come from the lips of a heister who hardly probable.

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1923 It can be truly said without fear of contradiction, that many fortunes are lost reaching for an ideal. The ideal—being a bigger fortune. The legislature of New York State has repealed the Mullan-Gage prohibition enforcement law, which will leave enforcement to the Federal Government. Rhode Island is the only other State which now does so. It is held that it is the business of the Federal Government to enforce the Volstead act, with its heavy cost, as it is a Federal and not a State law. --- The legislatures of New York Michigan and Illinois have now passed laws prohibiting masked organizations from appearing in public, and requiring them to register, with the proper authorities the names of their members and copies of their rules and regulations. The legislation is aimed at the Invisible Empire, which is also having much litigation in the courts at Atlanta as to control of the organization and its affairs. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Yes. The Florida legislature has spent much time haggling over the abolishment of the whipping lash in its convict camps, because it would affect road building and the profits of rich contractors, while it has been brought out that there were 21 deaths alone in the past year in the convict camp of Senator Knabb in Baker county. Greed and selfishness and inhumanity go hand and hand wherever they are allowed to do so. Crooked Preachers The ministry is the very last place where a person should seek to do business as a crook. The very nature of concession and sacrifice required by the calling should deter any one from endearing to prostitute it to low and sordid ends. In the main, it is creditable to the ministry that so few questionable characters enter its ranks or long conceal themselves from exposure when they do. The churches are not disposed to encourage any such people, and this is, fortunately, more than it used to be, when many selfish self seekers, entirely corrupt, have wormed themselves through the pastorate into the bench of bishops. The Rev. C. B. Creey, who is now in the hands of the law, charged with preaching one sort of morality and practicing another, and that of the most immoral character, it has developed, is not a member of any Tidewater Ministers' Conference. If he is a member of a conference of any other district it should be found out so that he could be expelled. In dealing with such characters Conferences fail of their obligations to the public if they do not act with stern and unbending justice. And the law courts, in passing upon the criminal acts of such persons, should give them the limit without mercy because they used the mask of piety the better if further their questionable dealings. The future of the African-American people depends more at this time upon the character and service of their ministry than upon any other one agency. A Man Who Did Things The New York Sunday American recently carried an illustrated editorial article, headed, "Two Summer Bogey Men," which was of the most in structural character. He presented a temple with many steps leading to the success at the top. Ne'der do well sat on the bottom steps, as abject specimens of man as possible, one on either side of the steps, with an upstanding man standing in the center courageously looking up to the heights above. "What's the use trying?" asks the bogey man on the left. "It can't be done," says the bogey man on the right. The man in the center says nothing, but the impression is that "he goes to it" courageously and reaches the top and charisma success. The editorial caused us to consider the life and work of Dr. A. H. Moore, the builder of insurance companies and banks, who has just died at Durham. He was not only a successful pioneer, builder of great enterprises, he was a good citizen, a faithful churchman and a tireless worker in educational and charitable movements. His activities covered a period of thirty years, the formative period in the moral, industrial, and educational life of the race, and he so accomplished as much for it by present and example as any other man of the race. Dr. Booker T. Washington is not accepted. Dr. Moore started as a farmer boy but he got the school. astic and medical education he needed by hard knocks and steady blows and began to do things as a physician and promoter of business enterprises, and he had wonderful success. He could not have accomplished such a splendid work if he had sat down on the steps of the temple, asking, himself, "What's the use." He tackled the steps courageously and worked up the long ladder to the top, where he found success. Go thou and do like-wise who want to succeed. The Government Hospital for World War soldiers at Tuskegee is to have an Afro-American medical and executive staff. That has been definitely determined by the Washington authorities. After all the smoke created by the efforts of those, who labored to make the staff and executive control white, it seems unimaginable that any such effort should have been made, headed by Governor Brandon, of Alabama, as the Afro-American people have not made more progress nor a better showing in any of the professions than they have in that of medicine, with a body of trained nurses who have proved their competency and worth in war and peace. Our medical men have grown to be an upstanding and outstanding body of men, strong and self-reliant, who are accomplishing a wonderful work and making a remarkable record of service, in all of the large cities of the country, and in many of the out-of-way places. HE DIED AT FIVE-THIRTY He is believed by Jones' relatives if the he was born in New York. He had telephoned the police at first. Mr. Moses in answering the call had rushed the man to the hospital instead of to his office to ascertain collections, the man's life could have been saved. Mr. Jones was a native of this city, and of a respected family. His brothers are thrifty young men, and some property. He is survived by four sisters, James, Oliver and Charles H. Jones, a sister, Mrs. Agnes Malbon Snead. The body was turned over to understake Caulbert Jones. The funeral held from the home of Joseph's brother, T.J. 1737 Cumberland street - Sunday. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. Howard To Conduct A Summer Session Washington, D. C.-Howard University will inaugurate this year a printed, biannual announcement. According to the printed, biannual announcement, which is now being unveiled, the session will extend beyond ten weeks, beginning June 29 and ending August 31. Tuskegee Hospital Staff It is difficult for us to imagine what might Southern men as Governor Brandon, and their name is legion, hope to accomplish by standing insistently in the way of the intellectual and material advancement of the Afro-American people. They ought to know that it is not possible to elevate people by seeking in all ways, to degrade and humiliate them; and that it is more profitable to the citizenship that these people should be educated, self-reliant and "entirprising than that they should be ignorant, subservient and dependent. Then, too, it should be understood that these people have a future in this country which God has placed in their hands, and that those who strive to prevent them in having what belongs to them in working out that future will have to account to the Spirit Genius of the Republic for so doing. That's all. Colonel Kerlin Loses His Case Professor Robert T. Kerlin has lost his case for academic freedom against the Virginia Military Academy, at Lexington, Judge McLemore sustaining the denurrier of the Academy. It will be remembered that Col. Kerlin was dismissed from the Academy for writing a letter to the Governor of Arkansas against the prosecution and persecution of certain victims of the Elaine roits, in Arkansas, the cases having been since remanded by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Military Academy is a State institution and the judge maintained that the Board of Visitors could not be sued because they were part of the executive machinery of the State responsible to the Governor. Col. Kerlin sued for $50,000 damages to his reputation because of his expulsion from the faculty. In answering the criticism that he employed Afro-American counsel, William F. Denny and Frank Harris, Col. Kerlin said that he tried to secure white counsel but could get none, and that he "want to Denny and Harris, "who have the reputation of being excellent lawyers." He will not appeal the case. Col. Kerlin is a Southern gentleman, of splendid scholarship and courage. There are a great many Southern white men like him who believe that Afro-Americans should have a fair deal in law and public opinion; and who have the courage to contend manfully for what they believe. Such characters are heroic. "All men respect them, even those who do not agree with them, and they make for better conditions of all the people of the South by their convictions and courage in the high and noble' example they set. SCISSORED Dogs, Not Men It is difficult for us to say whether or not James Scott, the University of Missouri janitor who was lynched several days ago, for the alleged assault on the fourteen-year-old daughter of a professor in that institution, is guilty as the crime charged against him. This is beside the question, anyway. We do say, though, that guilty or not guilty, he was entitled to a trial before a judge and jury. The report states that Scott had been for years a member of Columbia; he was formerly a member of the regular army of the United States and at one time he was attached to the Eighth Illinois infantry; he was a reputation for honesty; was married to a father and most important of all, is the father of a fifteen-year-old girl. PRESS COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS Enforce the Whole Constitution with worth and goodness, too, with many kindness blent— it's worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent. The International Court of Justice proposition has stirred up as much bitterness and strife within the Republican party as the League of Nations proposition did, with a possible break in the Republican ranks at the next National Convention if President Harding determines to press the matter to a finish, and the shows he is determined. From The Springfield (Mass.) Union. The Constitution of the United States is a voluminous document, consisting of articles, adopted in 1877, and nineteen articles in addition to and amendment thereof, adopted various times in the ensuing 136 years, to be familiar with the Constitution, which is the foundation of our liberties and the structure upon which all the laws of the land are enacted. The citizens are acquainted with its many important provisions, while a large number seem to labor under delusion that one of the re- sults of the Constitution comprises the entire document. The fact that the familiar and fervid exhortations to respect and uphold the Constitution, with which we regulated in the last three years, are all put forth in the interest of one amendment, the Eighteenth, and with no reference to the articles of the Constitution, is calculated further the impression that the Eighteenth Amendment is the sole Constitution, or else that the Constitution is understood and obeyed that there is no occasion for any agitation in their behalf. It is well to examine the document and note exhilaration in ascertain what are the true facts. Section 1 of Article XV, common known as the Fifteenth Amendment, reads as follows: "The Congress shall deny the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color or pre-emptive service." Section 2 of the same provides that "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." This amendment was adopted in 1869. The Congress has been following year by the required number of States, but in all the ensuing period it has never been enforced in the thirteenth Southern State. The article of the Constitution is virtually a dead letter below the Ma- Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) s "What is news?" asks a contemporary. How's this for a reply?

You're liable to get a jail sentence for resisting arrest. A marathon "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," contest would accomplish greater tangible results.

Among these captains there appears, No fort too strong to yield, Their faith in right unroots all fears; Invading every field.

Relatives Deny That Dead Man Feared Arrest (Continued from Page One) Dr. Lloyd Williams, the city corona stated that the poison had been in the system at least an hour before he died. Mrs. Blackshear was a graduate of Hampton Institute, and formerly a teacher in John T. West school. She came to New York City and married Blackshear in 1915. In the same year the couple took up residence in Albany, N. Y. She lived as a loved and respected woman in death. She is survived by her husband, two small sons, Theophilus and Warren; a mother, two brothers, two sisters, numerous relatives and a host of friends there and in Norfolk. One of her children is Rev. W. E. Sandler; passed away in Church, Franklin City. son and Dixon line, and in consequence more than 8,000,000 citizens of the United States have been and still are deprived of the most important part of citizenship. In some of the Southern States this illegally disfranchised element constitutes an actual majority of the population. Yet the devoted band of Constitution defenders, who profess to attach so much sacredness to that document, have no right to half of the Eighteenth Amendment ring out from pulpit and platform, and who have brought pressure to bear upon Congress to make annual appropriations for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, in silent regard to the Fifteenth Amendment. Not once has one of them called public attention to the wholesale violations of the Eighteenth Amendment or urged an appropriation by Congress to bring about its enforcement. The spectacle of more than 8,000,000 native-born citizens unlawfully-prevented from voting on their skin apparently means nothing to the zealous champions of the Eighteenth Amendment. When they speak u foupholding the Constitution they have in mind only the constitutional amendment, ignoring all others as of no consequence. By all means let us uphold the Constitution, but let us begin at the beginning and enforce every rule of the Constitution. And let us be as diligent and determined in the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment as of the Eighteenth or any other. It is proper to appropriate, similarly, an amount to restore to 8,000,000 colored Americans the citizenship of which they are being illegally deprived? If the champions of the Fifteenth Amendment sincerely in their professed devotion to as lustily for strife-enforcement they now show for strict enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment.

WEEK DAY SERMONETTE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION TO MUSICAL ART MABEL TRAVIS WOOD The Casting Out Of Fear Luke 12:32: “Dismiss your feurs, little flock; your Father pleasures in giving you the kingdom.” If I were asked to name one emotion which every man feels I would unhesitatingly name “fear.” You are acquainted with fear, no matter who you are. Charm, no matter who you are black, you are afraid of something. It is so now, it was so when Christ delivered the message from which we quote today. For the benefit of his hearers and for the benefit of all mankind, the Dirichlet, of little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the kingdom.” 1. Dismiss your fears of sickness. The average man is in daily fear of sickness. Many people bring on disease by using all sorts of patent medicines to prevent disease. Men have become multi-millionaires as manpower because the public feared sickness. Many people think themselves into the sick-bed and, in many cases, to the grave. Most people who are sick are sick mentally. If men generally would "dismiss their fears" of sickness, the human family would be as healthy the ophthalmologist is a fact, because the health suggestions which it recommends dismiss the fear of disease. 2. "Dismiss your fears" of death. Some people get very little joy out of life because of the fear of death. Constantly they are thinking of death as a monster and fearing that life. This takes the joy out of life for many people. "Dismiss your fears" of death by seeing death as something other than "the black camel which kneels at, every man's gate," "a leap in the water," "the friend who thinks of it rather as "the less joy," "the friend who relieves of all, care, sorrow, sickness." Everyone knows that Negroes have given to America much of her most musical and beautiful folk music through the spirituals and plantation songs that have grown out of the life of the race. The modern Negro composer is no generally recognized. There is today a wealth of music both sacred and secular which has come from the pens of Negro composers. Some of it is based upon the realms, and some of it is not racial composers as Harry T. Burkle S. Coleridge-Taylor, Will Marion-Cook, R. Nathaniel Dett, Cari J. Diton, J. Rosamond Johnson and Clarence Cameron White have during the past fifteen years known of rare melody and originality. Of late there has been a steady increase in the appreciation of musical compositions by Negroes both among white and colored groups. Church choirs have given over services to sacred composers. Many women's Negro composers. Many women's Negro composers have devoted time at their sessions to the performance of religious composers, especially the simpler choral works. Colored groups operating locally under Community Service have present special programs of Negro music, including the spirituals with songs by Negro composers. In New Haven, Connecticut, a festival of Negro music presented by a Negro community Y.W.C.A. DRIVE NETS $1,362.89 IN CASH And $300.00 In Time Pledges, Reports Still Coming In Indicate $2,000 Will Be Realized. The Phyllis Wheatley Branch, Y. W. C. A., has joined closed one of the most successful campaigns in its history. The hearty response to the community made the captains and workers feel that the struggle would with while. The community realized the need for real cash, and as a result there were a few time pledges. To date the return, to $1,352.89 in cash, and $300 in time, all 14 reports still coming in it is hoped that the community will still rally until the $2,000 goal is reached. The Branch takes this as one mether of thanking its friends who helped to create the campaign a success. It wishes the render 'special thanks to Madam M. Ridick and Mr. J. C. Brooks for the use of 1012 Church street as headquarters and-Mr. H. Crockin for the use of a large desk from his furniture store. pain and death" the guide who leads to a home blessed with many a mantra antiques that "eye bath mat, my heart, no hear, not it hitened it into the man of the things which god had given them that love him" Become close to the man that love him, continue that relation, and there will be no need to fear death. 3. "Dismiss your fears" of poverty. O, how we dread being poor. So great is our fear of poverty that we focalize thought and energy upon the accumulation of wealth. Thus one may succeed in the getting of things but he often sacrifices that which is far better. The average person cannot get wealth and keep an abiding interest in things eternal. Instead of getting wealth, wealth gets him. The fear of poverty makes many men resort to corrupt practices which cost them character, the association of good people, helpful example before their children, and a home in heaven. The price is too great. Better far to take comfort in the fact that the God who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field beyond the magnificence of Solomon, will surely care for His human children for whose redemption He gave His "only begotten son." 4. "Dismiss your fears" of the success of others. This fear makes for individual strife and race conflict. It has its ground in envy. It made the first murder has been the cause of multitudinous murders ever since. The strife between man and man, the fight between capital and labor, the ever-present and between race and race, would not exist except for the fear that man have of the success of others. The panacea for all these fears lies in the practice of brotherhood. Brotherhood cannot be practiced without interracial cooperation. In proportion as this done will mutilate respect and good will obtain. Friend association will ripen into love and 'love castle out fear.' chorus and in Augusta, Georgia, musical program made up compressions by Negroes brou knowledge and appreciation The Bureau of Composition Music of Community Services, 314 Fourth Avenue, New York City is endeavoring to foster this greatest interest and to acquaint more music with both white and colored, with the facilities offered by compositions byern Negro composers. A bulletin, music Composed by Negros" is prepared by this Bureau and is issued to the nominal charge of ten cents. It lists the compositions of seven of most Negro composers, telling for what combinations of voices and when they may be secured. examples of the balanced programs of Negro music which already have been presented to help groups desiring to up the study and performance of the best existing collections of the music. Community Service has made in this bulletin the first and satisfactory compendium of music by Negro composers. It will prove enlightening not only to America in general, who may be unacquainted with the treasures that are contained in the storehouse of Negro music, to colored groups which may not be familiar with all of the music that their race has produced. base; J.

C. C. Spaulding Goes To Arkansas to Rest Before Beginning New Duties as President. --- Durham, N. C.—Shortly after attending the meeting of the board of directors which elected him to the presidency of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of the late Dr. A. M. Moore, C. C. Spaulding left Durham for Hot Springs, Arkansas for a few weeks rest prior to assuming the duties of office. Mr. Spaulding is recuperating at the Union of Woodmen Bath House and Hotel in the western city. --- When Dr. Moore began to show two years ago marked failure in health the responsibility of managing the company was so shifted to as relieve him of active duties and this shifting caused an enormously large part of the management to fall on the shoulders of Mr. Spaulding, then secretary-treasurer. That the company suffered no impairment through the inability of Dr. Moore to perform the duties of his office is best attested in its report for which she three months of this year which showed a better gain than did the statement for the first five months of last year. I have moved my hair dressing establishment from my home at 341 Cypress to 136 Poindexter street, over Dr G. W. Cardwell's Drug Store. All my former patrons and all ladies desiring hairdressing in all its branches, are respectfully asked to call on me in my new parlor. Best Service, Courteous treatment. Just before absenting himself from the office to take his rest, C. C. Spaulding issued a bulletin to all of his co-workers in the North Carolina Mutual in which he said in part: "The loss of Dr. Moore, while irreparable, as far as replacing a man of his sobriety and wisdom is concerned has, nevertheless, been met in the best manner that human minds could provide." While we have already missed his wise counsel we have thrown around us an efficient corps of workers, who have obligated themselves to carry on the work that Dr. Moore would like to abandon. "With the help of co-operation of our policy holders, agency and home office forces, there is nothing to prevent our continuing year by year to build a gigantic institution, with each year's achievements greater than those of any previous year. "Dr. Moore's mantle has fallen up on my shoulders and, like Elijah of old, I want to smite the water and carry the North Carolina Mutual over on dry land. I cannot do it without your continued co-operation. But for the twenty-four years that I have worked unceasingly for the development of this institution you have stood so solidly behind me that I can not at this time anticipate anything but your whole-hearted support. In this connection let me again assure you of my sincerest interest in all matters pertaining to policyholders, agents, or the company as a whole, and of my continued determination to see that every one is given a square deal."

There is a contest at the university in which John and Philip are the leading competitors, and an intimate friend of Philip, Gaston Leigh, suggests that he offer John a certain sum not to compete. John also meets Lucille Page, while at the university. Both fall in love with each other at first sight and are very happy until one evening John sees her in an automobile sitting beside Gaston Leigh. Philip admires the girl and asks Gaston Leigh about her. Nok go on with the story. "So, YOU don't believe me about the girl," said Gaston, gazing absently meanwhile at the dim outlines of the houses. "The Nigger lives at the Stewarts' doesn't he?" "Yes, the house on the left, nearest the lamp-post." Gaston drew up on the other side of the street. "He's in there now," said Philip. Gaston continued, as he dismounted and closed the door of the car: "As I was saying about the girl, I was at the Gordon's and Betty wanted a hair-dresser to fix her up in a hurry, so she begged me to call at the beauty parlor and bring her up." "Oh." exclaimed Philip. "Get in touch with her again and let me meet her. I might have better luck." He added as Gaston started off: asked to oblige," parried John "That I can't tell you. In handing over the money I must stipulate that you keep the matter a secret, and that you leave Nortonville not later than the evening before the examination, and not return until midnight the following day." "How many fellows do you represent." "About twenty or thirty." "Well," said John, dayly, putting on his coat, "tender them my compliments and say that I suggest they invest their five hundred in hay. They need it." He started to leave. "I'll make it a thousand, Walton." "Pardon me, I must go." "I'll give you the full fifteen hundred plus fifty for the medal. That's a generous offer." One thousand, five hundred and fifty dollars! John hesitated. That was more money than he ever dreamed of owning. What couldn't he do with so large a sum. "Take it," commanded a voice, "you can carry a mobile right away. Anything in hand to prevent your winning. You may be sick the day of the examination." "What," demanded another voice sternly, "are you going to lay down. There's something bigger than mere money involved in this. There is the honor of your race. No, you simply mustn't do this. You must go in and win." Leigh saw his hesitation and added: "I'll have the cash for you to-morrow at home." "No," stammered John. Leigh continued to press his argument with John holding out. "Think it over and let me know to-morrow," Leigh said as he left. "He as good as took it. He's to let me know to-morrow. Have no fear. Niggers have no high ideals of the moral values of things. I know them too well. You can depend upon him to fall when I show him the kale to-morrow." John tore out to find Lucille, his brain a mass of whirling emotions. He ran all the way to the town and went to the hair-dressers store. "She's not here," said a voice. "Is she at the Montgomerys?" "Maybe. She left an hour ago." He headed for the Montgomerys. He intended making the humblest apology one could ever make. How unjust, how cruel he had been. Never, never again would he doubt her. Why had he been so hasty, he chided himself. He arrived at the Montgomerys and bounded up the steps. "Is she—is Lucille in?" he asked, breathlessly. "Well, Mr. Walton, where have you been? What have you been doing to Lucille?" asked Mrs. Montgomery in concern. "Did she say anything?" he demanded anxiously, as he entered and saw a feminine figure quickly disappear into a room. "No, but I know something's wrong. What is there between you? Lucille, Mr. Walton's here. Take a seat. I'll see her." He heard the murmur of feminine voices within. After a wait of several minutes—minutes that seemed eternity—Mrs. Montgomery emerged alone. "She begs to be excused. She says she isn't feeling well," said Mrs. Montgomery. "Tell her it's very important. I won't detain her a minute," pleaded John. Mrs. Montgomery went in and returned. "It's no use, Mr. Walton. She seems to have it in for you good and proper. You'd better go now and see rain tomorrow." her again. Torn with remorse and the fear that he had lost her forever, he stumbled like a wounded man to the drug store. Here he procured paper and penned her a piteous apology. CHAPTER XIV. When John awoke the next morning, the world seemed much brighter. After his confession and explanation of the night before he felt sure that Lucille would accept his apology. The question now before him was his strange encounter with Leigh. He felt sure that the latter would approach him again. What should he say to him? He debated the matter with himself as he swept off the porch of the Bruces. Prof. Bruce came out for the morning paper. "Well, Walton," he said, "there's quite some talk about you and the Prize." Stanton Yes, the race between you and Mr. Breslender is the talk of the town, "added Mrs. Bruce, through the slightly open screen door. "You and he are from the same place, aren't you? "Yes," John replied. When Gaston Leigh approached him after classes, John promptly refused Philip had been anxiously hovering in the distance, "What are you saying?" he said. The last two weeks had been wretched ones for John. He had wrenched Lucille a stinging letter that same night on which he had seen her in the car with Leigh. Crazed with jealously he had torn her picture in shred and destroyed all of her letters. But in vain. Try as he would he could not tear her memory from his art. On one point, however, he was inflexible—her offense was unforgivable. But for the ambition that spurred him on he would have left Nortonville at once even though it meant the forfeiture of his scholar-mercy. He was through with women forever. Hereafter he would devote his life entirely to his mother. At Gaston Leigh's knock he went to the door, half fearing, half hoping that it was Lucille who in despair had come to seek his pardon. Rapidly he ran over in his mind what he was going to say to her. He was going to be adamant, he was going to show her that he was one Negro who would not tolerate such conduct on the part of a woman of his race. When he threw, the door open haughtily and saw the masculine figure looming against the darkness he experienced a shiver of disappointment. Inside, under the light, when he recognized Leigh he boiled with rage. He felt like springing at his throat, but calming himself with great effort he called "Walton" he began, nervously, "I come to see you on a delicate mission—a friend of mine—" Had Lucille sent him to explain? John could contain himself no longer. He cut him short: "Leigh," he said advancing threateningly. "You're a dirty skunk. You know you'd never dream of marrying her. Not a word! Not a word! I'm through. Leigh arrived at him stumped. high glores? "What hue? What're you talking about? Hue?" Firmly convinced that the other had come to gloss over his conduct with Lucille he was unable to contain his anger any longer. He sprang violently at Leigh's throat and began choking him. Leigh shook himself free. "What the devil is the matter with you, Walton? Are you crazy?" "Do you think you can come between me and my girl and get away that your girl!" exclaimed Leigh informally. "I don't—" Seeing that there was a misunderstanding somewhere the latter said easily: "Come on, Walton, let's hear what's on your chest, spit it out." "I saw you out with the girl I'm going to marry last Thursday around six o'clock." "Leigh burst into loud laughter: 'Oh, that's what you are so sore about! Ha! Hal! That's a good one. So, that's your girl! You poor fish!' 'Get out! Get out!' yelled John, 'I will throw you out!' "Cam remembered his errand. He was lied to keep the other in doubt, but decided he would have to explain. He said in a matter of fact lame: "I was taking her over to one of her customers, who begged me to fetch her, you poor simp.' "You're lying," flashed John, angrily. "Well, go ask at the Gordons, number 9 Sinclair Road. That's where I took her." As the apparent truth sank home, a sense of remorse swept over John. How unjust and cruel he had been! "The poor girl!" The poor girl," he murmured, seizing his hat and coat he started for the door. "Just a minute, Walton," detained Leigh. "I came to see you on another little matter when you lost your head." "Beg pardon," said John, beaming with gratitude, "sit down." "How it how it is, Walton," began the other appassionately. "I've a girl myself. I tell you this much. She's true blue. I tried to be kindly with her but she was even look at me. She's a splendid girl and pretty as a picture, too. You're lucky." Liewent from unctually: "What I came to see you about is this. You are one of the eligibles for the Stanton Prize, aren't you?" "I think so." "And you stand to win as you have the highest average." "That's no proof I'll win though I'm trying hard." "Now," continued Leigh, "for a certain reason—well, I will be frank with you and tell you—certain fellows in my frat have picked someone else to win and we don't want to lose. They have asked me to call on you and put the matter up to you." "Race prejudice," exclaimed John to himself. "They don't want to take the chance of a Negro's winning." He waited for the other to continue. "You'll make it worth your while." "We have something to tell Lucille," thought John, remaining silent. I'll give you five hundred," con- sidered, brazenly. "I'll have the CHAPTER XIV. said Leight disgustedly. "Yes, and you felt so cocksure about it?" accused Philip. "Oh, he's only holding out for higher money." "That's it," snapped Philip, "he's holding out for more money. You made a mess of it with your hidding proposition. If you had done as I said and offered him the full value of the prize plus a few hundreds for the prestige and then showed him how easy it would be to get the money without any further grind, I bet he'd have agreed. You have made a mess of it, and after that affair last night I'm all in today." "I'll try him again, Phil. I'll have better luck this time. As I told you, that affair about that nigger girl look me off my edge." "No, Gaston, you've made a mess of it. I'm going to see him myself. I don't care so much now whether I win the prize or not, so long as he doesn't." Back at home John inquired eagerly if a letter or telephone call had come for him. Neither had come. He called up Lucille at the beauty parlor, and after much pleading and persuasion she gave a reluctant half-promise to meet him later in the week. He pleaded that he wanted indispensable advice. Two nights later she met him and as they walked along the leaf avenue by moonlight he pleaded for forgiveness. "I've seen so many of the finest and prettiest of the girls of our race mistress of white men in the Sun—some times they go because their parents are threatened with death, and some times they of their own free will—that when I saw you enter that car I thought but on thing, I shall never doubt you again, dearest." She was silent. "One thing the separation has brought to me more clearly than ever is how much I love you, how impossible it is for me to get along without you. I have suffered the tortures of the damned, Lucille." "I deserved it!" she said coldly. "It was my great love for you that made me do it. Won't you forgive me dearest." "I cannot, after such a letter. What was it you said you had to tell me?" "The dirty hounds!" she said. "Do they think a Negro has no honor that we do not know how to put duty above money, that we have not as fine sensibilities as they? I like their name." She squeezed his hand in token of forgiveness. Later she added: "John, I missed you so." "I am so happy to be with you again, dearest," he said tenderly. CHAPTER XV John devoted himself to his studies more earnestly than ever. A few nights later he heard a knock at his door and on opening it saw Philip Breckenridge. Much surprised, he invoked "Grinding away, I see," said Philip unensily, glancing at the book-strewn table. "I'll faint," said John cheerly. "How are the folks at home—old Peter and your mother?" "Oh, fine." "John," said Philip, nervously peeling off his gloves, "I want to ask you a great favor." John instinctively felt the errand, it flashed through his mind that Gaston Leigh had inadvertently spoken of his friend John replied: "If I can help you, I will." "The Stanton prize," stammered Philip, "Father, mother and the girl I'm going to marry are expecting me to win it—" He hesitated a moment and pulled out a check book: "I'll give you two thousand dollars to be absent the day of the examination," he said. "I have parents and a sweetheart, too," replied John steadily. "Come on, a good fellow. I'll make it a thousand, five hundred. That's a thousand more than you'd get if you won the prize. You need the money. I need the glory." John thought ruefully of the 85 cents in his pocket—his sole wealth. "I can't Phil. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. Philip wrote in his checkbook, and, tearing off the bit of paper, said: "See, I've made it there thousand." "No, no," gasped John, desperately. "Perhaps you want more," continued Philip, tearing up the check and preparing to write another. "Four thousand, then. Remember, you might not win the prize." "Four thousand dollars! Four thousand dollars! John felt his head swim. · "N-no," he stammered, with assumed defiance. "Five thousand!" said Philip grimly. "I shouldn't go any higher. You'd be a d—d fool not to take it. Think of the chances you're taking." John began to reason desperately. Five thousand dollars! With that he could buy a home, marry Lucille, and continue his studies free from all interruption. No more sweeping sidewalks or tending furnace. On the other hand, what? Poverty and the chances of winning. You must lose, anyhow, said the man, your race would be better off. Besides, it would boast about you for a while and soon forget you. There are other chances to win other prizes next year. Take this and you'll be in a better position to win them." "No," said the other voice; "there's the principle of the thing. You'll be less than a man if you lay down. No matter whether the members of your race appreciate it or not, you must be incorruptible. Besides, you must to lie to Lucille, to your mother, to your classmates. You're the only Negro in your class and you must hold up the standard of your people. You never be able to respect yourself if you call out." (To Be Continued Next Week) ANNUAL SESSION OF VA. STATE BAPAISTS Roanoke, Va.—The Virginia Baptist State Convention has just closed a prosperous and harmonious session held in the First Baptist Church here, the Rev. Dr. A. L.

Response was also made by Rev. M. L. Gordon, of Staunton. Rev. J. C. Austin, of Pittsburg, presided during the delivery of the annual address by president King. The annual address was a literary gem. President King paid a tribute to the fallen heroes, to those whose lives had been devoted t othe cause of Christian education and uplift. In the course of his address, Dr. King said among other rithings: "It is with more than ordinary pleasure and unbounded gratitude that I, address you on this, the fifty-sixth anniversary of this, our great convention. Please, because all behold the alternating pillar of clouds and fire in our sky, and feel the sacred overshadowing of the Holy Shekinah of His love; and gratitude because we can still gather manna from the clouds and inspiration from those ribbons of luminous beauty which appear in the bosom of the blessed Shekinah. "Last night, a great memorial service was held in honor of those who have answered the roll call since we said the benediction at the close of our last convention year. With uncovered heads and the deepest sense of reverence we may again call the sacred E. C. Morris, who for many years stood at the head of the National Baptist Convention, and at the head of the list of colored Baptists in this country by virtue of his office as president of the National Baptist Convention, closed a brilliant career, walking calmly up to the banks of eternal deliverance on September 11, 1915, at the sight and Canaan's fields blushed into immortal beauty at the sound of his voice as he shouted to the conquerers beyond, 'I am coming to join you.' "Dr. R. H. Boyd, the great business genius and Christian statesman to whom the colored Baptists shall ever be indebted folded up a finished program of veteran service, walking peacefully through the valley and shadow to be swallowed up in the everlasting sunburst on the other side of the mountain, while death lay chained and helpless by the way. The angelic choruses burst into song of victory, winding up with immortal welcome, when the sainted W. G. Parks, D. D., reached the top of life's ascending way. As vice-president of the National Baptist Convention, he held the second highest honor in the gift of the denomination, as pastor of the great Union Baptist Church, of Philadelphia, he ranked among the stars of the first magnitude. "Dr. A. R. Robinson, the vice-president of the World's Baptist Alliance, who extraordinary, registered his name among those who have fought, kept and finished; a pleasing Godly character and genial big-hearted brother has gone to join the brotherhood." Dr. King paid tribute in glowing terms to Dr. Harvey Johnson, Dr. J. R. L. Diggis, Dr. Percy Wallace, Dr. B. S. Nowlin, and a number of others. Dr. W. F. Granham, the financial secretary, who had raised large sums for the educational work was highly commended, because he did not accept of any commission or expense money, but said that his services were rendered because of his love for education to receive, he said. "My church pays me a living salary, and pays my expenses, hence I am to serve." The following officers were elected: T. J. King, Richmond, president; A. L. James, Roanoke; C. P. Madison, Norfolk; S.

Ashburn, Salem, statistical secretary; W. F. Graham, Philadelphia, educational secretary; Deacon Humbles, Lynchburg, treasurer; R. H. Bowling, Norfolk, auditor. The officers were installed by Dr. G. H. Sims, president of the New York State Convention, making an appropriate greeting through regular greetings from New York in shape of a check for $500 from the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Dr. W. W. Brown, pastor; $160 from the church of which he is pastor, and $25.00 from another church which was brought to him by Dr. White. It was decided on motion of Dr. W. F. Graham, to hold a seminar at the Virginia Seminary and College from June 5 to 13 at which time some of the best prepared men in the country will deliver lectures. On Thursday afternoon, Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Seminary, delivered his annual address, in which he told the students of the school of compelling. He held up manhood, a manly spirit, and all that would stand for a full grown man. "An institution of learning," he said, "must furnish the ideals for the race." He showed the convention was op- possible. The Seminary would have to furnish them. leaders for the race, because it 'hold up that standard of manhood, showing the Negro that he should stand alone, he should stand on the merits. The school represented what the Negro was taught to help himself, it was the doctrine of help yourself and not depend on others to do for the race what the individuals should do. by Dr. A. A.

On this occasion, the speaker was Dr. J. C. Austin. It was a well prepared address and will be productive of good. "The Business of the Church." He said, "The business of the church is the salvation of the world, is to save this world morally, is to evangelize the world."

The annual missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. C. P. Madison, D. D., of Norfolk. "Call to Service," was the theme, based on the words of Jesus addressed to the widow's son who was dead. He said, "You man, I so unto you arise." Luke 7:14. "This was a call to life," he said, "for if death had only affected this young man, and stopped there, there would not have been so much comment. But it touched a home, a community, and the compassion of Christ was moved on account of the death of this young man. It expresses love and trust in the life that the conditions that are now so badly affected by his death may be remedied by his life." Following the sermon, Dr. J. E. East, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, delivered a wonderful address, presenting the claims of Africa, and at the conclusion $75 was placed on the table.

The commencement program which began at 1:30 p.m. was a splendid feature, elaborate, filled with inspiration and gave joy and hope for the future of the race as expressed in the magnificent manner in which the wonderful training institute included their course through the institute. From all reports, the year just closed has been one of crowning success at Waters Normal and anyone witnessing the graduating exercises was compelled to exhibit pride in the work of the institute in fitting the youth of the race for life's larger responsibilities. The annual address to the graduating class was delivered by J. Thomas Newcombe, Esq., of Newport News. Attorney Newcombe was fraught with sound advice, inspiration, encouragement and with a practical admonition of the responsibility and department attendant upon education. Attorney Newcomse said in education: ANNUAL SPEECH "Now, to begin with, education is terrible thing. It has a million eyes, and with one hand it can reach up into the heavens and with the other delve downward and bring up treasures from the bowels of the earth. It has mountains and throw them bodily into the earth and it can harness the elements for men. It can smite the barren rock and draw forth energy and it can people the world with the children of imagination so that they will move among men, animated with as well life, and articulate with a strange and entrenching language. It can soothe and articulate with it can bless and it can curse. It can humble but into a mansion fit for king, while it can turn the palaces of power into prison-houses of selfishness and misery. "Much we already know of the power of education and, yet, the surface has barely been scratched. Man is really just beginning to know. Science is much quick strides as to give us practically a new heaven and a new earth." "Accepted theories are being exploded and truths once thought to be axiomatic are now known to be susceptible of indisputable demonstration. The mind of man is unfolding and marvels, surpassing the wildest senses of fiction, startle us almost daily." "Einstein comes forward with his theory, or rather demonstrated fact, of Relativity; and Evolution, properly understood gives us a firmer faith in God. EDUCATION AND RESPONSIBILITY "Now, my young friends, you have been given a key to this storehouse unlimited possibilities and, first of all, want to know how you intend to use it. I am tremendous and at the Bar of Public opinion you must answer in this World, and later to your God. Problems, serious and ever present, press upon you for solution. You must use them boldly, or you may shirk them to your everlasting disgrace. "It will probably be 300 years before any considerable number of our people can afford to be content with your ideas." "Education with us is not a mere adornment but an obligation." "Your education has placed upon you the burden of leadership—leadership in service. It ought to be an incitement to your very best endeavor to know that, while you serve you know. In this connection, may I not urge you to dare to undertake big things? "Self-respect is belief in one's own capacity to do. You must think great thoughts, shoot high, have faith. "There are cruel wrongs to be righted, rights to struggle for, ideals to be attained. Silent acquiescence in wrongs becomes a state of mind and, finally, those wrongs are taken for right and light is shrouded in darkness. "The educated man is the watchman upon the wall, who should cry aloud when danger threatens his people. Failure to do this may mean death and their blood will be required at his expense. "Your first line of attack will, of necessity, be within our own group. And what a battle must be fought here! While it is true that some progress has been made by our peo- place generally tending toward a safe place in the scheme of civilization, yet we are woofly behind in some fundamentals, without which we can never properly empy any but an inferior place in the cosmopolitan life of this country. "Foremost among the lessons our people must learn and which you should teach is the lesson of Pride of Race. Pride in the achievements of its foremost men and women, living and dead, in those things deemed by the possibilities of a people. We must race by the best men they are capable of producing and so we must insist that our race be judged. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HAIR AND ITS INFIRMITIES? ASK THE NU LIFE SYSTEM What Is Hair?

H. 12 West 13rd St. New York City TEACH PRIDE OF RACE "We must know the history of our people in this higher realm. From us have sprung poets, whose songs have soaked and inspired and exalted us, who have been taught to grant with fire and enthusiasm that made men tremble; statesmen, pure, upright and incorruptible; patriots, whose blood has dyed a thousand battlefields; educators, who have taken the lead in the battlefields and breathed into his soul of hope and promise; great preachers, who have kept the faith of the fathers and held before a despairing people the assurance of a better day guaranteed by the promises of a just order." But, you cannot teach this pride of race unless you feel it yourself, and, I trust, that the years spent by you in this great institution have taught you to thank God that you belong to a group that is now in the heart of the world. Turn them and that it can feel the drills that come from triumphs, as obstacle after obstacle is met and overcome. "A buoyant, happy people, filled always with laughter and song, you have grown from those you lead against carrying them though it be, to the point of frivolity. "Life is really a serious matter with all men, and, with our group, it is frequently desperate. You shall need to teach patience to the students for that recognition which is due for contact with men of the other race.

What Modern Reformers Can Learn from Elijah. GOLDEN TEXT. Choose you this day, which you will serve-Joach. 24: 15. Elijah Returns, Altar and Makee his Sacred Veil, Voy. 20-35. There are six of these figures who owe nothing to God and nothing to man. We need nothing of his lineage. and he had no posteriorly collected a mountain peak making suddenly out of the palm, which he must have been entered. Masius personality was needed only by intercourse with God. He is one of the in any century for whom the abiding is unmistakable. Masius personality was the private presence of God. mur noticing of his intagge, and he had no postity, infused with postity, indeed widely out of the shade he dominated every body into which he entered. The Massive personality was guided only by intercourse with God. He is one of the warriors from whom habiting and unfailing sensitive conviction was the complicate presence of God. of that he was far more conscious than of the presence of a fellow-man. "Jehovah be- before whom I stand" (17: 1; 18: 15) be- tween his word and the fundamental fact about his life. Adamantine his conviction, enquire his character, steel-like his will-ho- he was the man made and inspired by to meet a crisis in the history of religion." Verses 20:29 tell about the fruitful efforts of the prophets of Baal to obtain help and to sustain their god. Read 1 Kings chapters. Elijah commanded the people to come hear, and here built the broken altar of God. The prophet took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of sons of Jacob, and the Lord, as the altar he made a trench. Elijah had put the wood in place, cut the block in pieces, and laid him on the wood, he commanded that an abundance of water be poured into the trench upon the wood and the sacrifice. He was commanded that the burdentant. He was one of God, that he dared to heap difficult in his way, knowing that there is no real difficulty for infinite power. The more unlikely the answer, the more glory there would be to God. Oh, matchless faith! which can laugh at impossibilities, and can even have the pleasure of seeing God vanquish the Meyer. 1 The prayer of Elijah, Vw-36, 57-38. 2 The prayer of Elijah, so brief, so confident, was the greatest possible, contrast to the wild majesty of the Baliites. It is a model for our prayers in its glad recognition of the man, his personal identity, his personal desire, the advance of God the cause." Peloubet. The cause of religion was at stake, the urgency of Jehovah's prophet was in jeopardy. Elighi prayed that Jehovah would answer him that the people might know that Jehovah was God, and that thou hast turned the sole object in that prayer is not that his name may be exalted as a prophet, or that any good may come to him, but that the blinded eyes may be opened, and the hearts have been so sadly led astray he brought not to the worship of their fathers" God." I God answers the prayer of Elighi-Va. 11. 21. God used a natural agency-lightning-in a supernatural way. The fire came down out of heat in answer to the prayer of God's man. The fire consumed the burnt-offering, the stone dust, and even the water that was poured out. Let us not think that this is an old tale, never to be repeated. The fire will wait for the Prometheus faith that it brings it down. Our God is a consuming fire and when his presence is sought, he will overcome all obstacles, and converse a drained and drained sacrifice into which he can feed." P. B. Kearney. this demonstration of Jehovah's power attained the people that Baal was no god, that Jehovah was the true God. "All the people fell on others faces and said, he is God; Jehovah, he is God. V. What modern Reformers can learn from Elish. "Eliilah centered his thought on the main thing, obedience to God. The nation niketh he outwardly strong and rich, he knew that, if it dishewed God, it was truly weak and poor. He used to be in a minority of one wife, but he found the most powerful. Elish believed in the invisible. He leanced supraserialal aid. He was a man of praise and so a man of power. He used no polite and soft terms in killing of evil. He called a sin a sin. Elish was invincible while he was doling blood. His only defeat was when no one helped, forgetting God. Elish was consistent because he kept close to his life; he was crowned with great beauty and life. Elish was life. He is all his constituent. Elijah's life may be made by any reformer today. And every Christian should be a reformer." BRIGGSOGRAMS "a fatless man, with God at his back on war marvels." V. 35. Ee who exalt God will be in turn exalt Ee. The Cause of true religion can never fail God is behind it. Demonstrated religion is a mighty conning force. The people will always accept the truth that it is forbicly and clearly presented.
