Norfolk Journal and Guide GARVEY CONVICTED OF FRAUD; GETS 5 YEARS IN PEN FACES A HEAVY FINE AND LONG IMPRISONMENT Prosecutor Dubs Him As Treacherous, Unscrupulous and Shrewd; Calls It "Typical Bucket Shop Case." GARVEY MAKES FERVID PLEA TO THE JURY Special Wire to Journal and Guide) New York, N. Y., June 21—Marcus Garvey was sentenced to five years in federal prison and fined $1,000 today by Judge Mack in United District Court here. He will be confined in the Tombs prison in this city for four months before being removed to Leavenworth penitentiary where Judge Mack directed that he serve his sentence instead of at Atlanta, Ga. New York, June 21.—Marcus Garvey was found guilty by a jury before Judge Mack in the Federal Court this week of using the mails to defraud in connection with the Black Star Line, which Garvey organized. The jury retired at 12:30 o'clock in the forenoon, and the verdict was returned ten hours later. Orlando M. Thompson, George Tobins and M. Eli Garcia, who were identified with the Garvey ventures and had been indicted with him, were acquitted. Two indictments had been returned against the four men, but Garvey was found guilty of the third count. The allied court that he had continued to sell stock in the Black Star Line Company when he knew it was insolvent. Garvey admitted this when he testified in his own behalf. GARVEY LOSES HIS HEAD Garvey made a demonstration in the courtroom when he heard the verdict. He violently abused the prosecutor and the jury and insinuated that he violated Garvey. So violent was he that five United States Marshals surrounded the U. N. I. A. "Moses" and led him away. As he passed Mrs. Garvey, he fell sobbing into her arms. Prosecutor Mattuck, who handled the case for the Government, made the request that he fall after Garvey's white lawyer, whom he had summoned in toward the end of his trial, had asked that he be released on the $5,000 bail under which he was held after his indictment. He branded Marcus Garvey a monace and told the Court that evidence in his possession showed that Garvey had guns and ammunition and were continually threatening the peace. Both sides summed up Friday, June 15. Marcus Garvey, unrestrained by the legal mufflers that during the last five weeks of his trial have prevented him from indicting them, let loose his emotional batteries on the jury on Friday. Everything set for the best dramatic effect Marcus Garvey cut loose a stream of oratory, in which he attacked everybody. He spared none. The Government witnesses were all "crooks, sharms and sharks"—including the poor women dryworkers who had testified that they had worked their fingers to the bone to earn the money they had invested with him. They were all actuated by sinister motives, Garvey told the jury. One old woman, who had lost her life's savings with him after hearing him orate at Liberty Hall, was attacked for having worn colored spectacles at the trial, Garvey seriously alleging that she did so in order to conceal the lie in her eyes. MUST PROTECT NEGROES Assistant U. S. Attorney Matteucci point out that prosecution, stressed point that Garvey was not indicted for going into business and the race problem had nothing to do. with the case. Negroes in business have failed before, he said, and were not indicted for more failure. But Negro investors, like white investors, were entitled to protection from the unscrupulous and "professionals"Negroes before being separated from one of $1,000,000 by this man and his associates. No white man lost a line in the Black Star Line. No white man had any reason to persecute Garvey, he said, in retribution of Garvey's claim that he was being persecuted. Colored people were the only financial losers. But colored people are entitled to protection as as white people from swindlers crooks. Why is the case different from any other business case" he demanded "Consider the case in the light of fairnessiness. Does the fact of their being Negroes give other Negroes the right to buncen them out of their money?" "SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT" A COVER FOR CROOKS Denying Marcus 'Garvey's im- THOUGHT WOMAN WHITE; SHOT HER DARK COMPANION Agent of Chicago Vice Committee Fired on Colored Man Found In Argument With Bright Mulatto. RESULT OF WAR ON VICE NOW ON IN WINDY CITY (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill., June 20.—Interference by Charles P. Domm, a white investigator for a local reform organization, in a street quarrel between Fred Everett Perdue and Mrs. Grace Banks, a fair skinned colored woman, because he thought the woman was white, led to the real shading of Poytum and nearly caused the death of the white man at the hands of a group of angry colored people who witnessed the murder. Domm is employed as a "spotted" by the Committee of Fifteen, a reform organization whose chief purpose is said to be opposition to vice. It has recently centered its attacks chiefly upon the "black and tan" cabarets of the colored district because they were frequented by whites. While walking along State street, street sweeping evoked Perdue and Mrs. Banks who were having words. Thinking her a white woman, Domm later said, he projected himself into the argument. A bystander whispered to him that the couple were man and wife just as Perdue ordered him to mind his own business. Domm departed but later met Mrs. Banks and Perdue again at 32d. and Wabash avenue, about two blocks away. Perdue knocked Domm down, whereupon he drew his pistol and shot the colored man through the heart. The crowd in the amusement park across the street heard the shot and saw the man fall. Urgent by Mrs. Banks, at whose house Perdue was a roomer, they closed in threateningly on the detective. All they knew was that the woman accused him of murdering an unarmed man. The white man, who was when three colored men, police sergeant Middleton, Archie Fields, of the State's Attorney's office and Roy Chestnut, a mai clerk, dashed up Fields and Middleton drew their guns and quieted the crowd, which clamored to punish the murderer. Domm was finally lodged in jail, safe but terror stricken. Middleton and Fields, while they saved the white man, declare they hope never to face so determined a group again. The Chicago Tribune carried a garbled story of the affair which they tried to magnify into a race riot. passioned plea that the Black Star Line was a park of a "spiritual movement" in Missouri. Mattuck had been "conceived as a fraud" by a gang of "professional exploiters." "And that was the spiritual movement!" he exclaimed. "What part does a spiritual movement play in the purchase of a house in the name of his future wife," he demanded, referring to the testimony that a $500 payment had been made on the house bought by Miss Amy Ashwood, afterward Mrs. Garveg, not Marcia Garveg, but Marcus Garveg. "Was it part of a spiritual movement they should sell passage to Liberia without the remotest chance to get a ship?" "If this was a spiritual movement then Jessee James belongs in the Hall of Fame as a great philanthropist," said Mr. Mattuck. "This steamship venture was a bucketship with a pirate ship, hepherdly Whipple, Prodrick Degles and the other Negro leaders after whom the ships were named must have turned in their graves. CALLS GARVEY PARASITE "Garvey was nothing less than a professional explorer and parasite. His conduct at this trial has not been that of an innocent man. He has insulted witnesses and used unscrupulous tactics. "He separate poor Negroes from money, $1,000,000 of their stolen money and he claimed he was leading a 'spiritual' movement. He wants you jurors to believe he was duped, but I tell you he was far too cunning to be a victim of conspiracy." The prosecutor then turned and glared at Garvey, pointed at him and shouted, "I caught up with a woman who said on the witness stand she worked her fingers bare to make you President of Africa—you may laugh at her, but I won't." Then concluding: "Upon your verdict, gentlemen, will depend the continued activities of the professional exploiters who are among the themselves at the court. You are to approve or disapprove of their conduct. You'll decide whether you'll turn loose upon the Negro people."

SHARP CONFLICT OF OPINION IN HOSPITAL ROW SHARP CONFLICT OF OPINION IN HOSPITAL ROW Radicals Refuse To Be Comforted by Assurances From Government Officials That White Staff Will be Moved. WASHINGTON "CITIZENS" HOLD INDIGNATION MEET Washington, D. C., June 10—Notwithstanding statements by Government officials that the United States hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, for colored veterans, will eventually have a complete colored personnel, there are two contrary opinions among. Negroes who are particularly interested in the installation of a colored medical staff at this institution. One belief is that the promise and directions of the President as regards the operation of this host hospital are not out as soon as practicable. The other is that the statements omaining from the Veterans Bureau are too indefinite and give evidence of pussy-footing and a white medical officer will continue in charge. ULTRA-RADICALS MEET The ultra-radicals had their hour last night. They held a mass meeting of "citizens of the District of Columbia," nonentities, for there is no such thing as citizenship here—at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. They denounced and resolved and adjourned without any constructive plans for the meeting. The objects of the meeting, as stated by the Rev. E. D. W. Jones, who presided—were as follows: First. To demand at once the appointment of a colored surgeon-in-chief. Second. To advise a nation-wide boycott of the hospital by former service men in need of hospital treatment until such an appointment is made. RESOLUTION ADOPTED Among the speakers were Captain West A. Hamilton and the Rev. C. Wylie Trigg. Their remarks were the only sane and conservative statements made during the meeting, and they were the only speakers who appeared to be well informed. A resolution was adopted, in which it was declared that the persons in mass meeting assembled do "most emphatically and solemnly protest against this proposition of placing a white governing personnel at this hospital as an affront to a race that is a loyal, patriotic and an integral part of the population of the United States, and as an insult to all fair-minded citizens regardless of race; and in the interest of fair dealing and justice, we demand that the original plan to govern and control the hospital be Negro personnel be adhered to, and we do hereby appeal to the Negro citizenry of this country to use all lawful means to bring about this desired result." NO PLANS MADE After the passage of this resolution, the meeting adjourned sine die, without formulating any constructive plans for the accomplishment of the ends desired. At the Veterans Bureau, a series of conferences with medical men in charge of the hospitals for the treatment of world-war veterans began on Monday and will continue thru Friday of this week. Consequently, neither General Frank T. Hines, the director, nor Dr. L. Rogers, the medical director, could interview. However, in an exclusive interview last week, Dr. L. B. Rogers stated that as soon as a sufficient number of qualified physicians in tubercular and neuro-psychiatric work could be obtained, the white medical staff now on duty at Tuskegee would be replaced by them. Colonel-R. H. Stanley; medical officer in charge of the Tuskegee infantry; member of the Scott, a member of the staff are in attendance at this meeting. Fortune Receives Degree Trenton, N. J.—Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, journalist of national distinction, now associated as special contributor, to several race papers and magazines, has received the degree of master of arts (causa honoris), from Freelhuysen University at Washington.

Morris, general secretary, Alien Christian Endeavor League, is attending Bishop's Counsel and commencement exercises at Wilberforce University, Ohio, this week. D. Morris was the guest of Rev. E. T. Eyler at Street A, M. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. last Sunday. He will spend the coming Sunday in Newport News and preach for Dr. G. C. Taylor. RACE FARMERS CHICKEN SHIPPERS Anderson, S. C., June 22. —Unless they are checked the Negro farmers in Anderson County will become suddenly. rich. This fact leaked out last week when it was discovered that most of the large chicken shipments were made by Negroes, who have been getting fancy prices for chickens to be shipped out of the state. The white farmers are becoming alarmed over the situation. N. C. MUTUAL STATE AGENTS' CONFERENCE Representatives From All Sections of Virginia Meet in Richmond.

Young Men Wanted In Sunday School The David King Bible Class of the First Baptist Church has instituted an active campaign for the purpose of gathering into the Sunday school such of the young men of the city who could afford to attend Sunday school, but who for some reason or another neglect to do so. The Class is the opportunity at this time to point out to such men the fatal move they are making in failing to alien themselves with some Christ serving body in the flower and vigor of their manhood.

She saw him place the two "exhibits" of hair under the microscope and then subject them to the action of chemicals to determine the presence of dye. Then suddenly, after nearly an hour of patient, minute work, he looked up and said with an air of finality: "These exhibits are exactly alike." "Alike?" gasped Lucille. "Positively. There isn't the slightest particle of difference between them." "Too bad, Miss Page," sympathized Lieutenant Childs, as Lucille walked dejectedly away. During the few remaining days, the after the was conjectured, only to lead nowhere. The fatal date was July 13. On the morning of the 12th the Ellington Detective Agency submitted its final report. It had made an investigation of all the persons connected directly or indirectly with the case, their character, and when each had been at the time of the murder. The report, briefly summarized, read as follows: Wellenington Brute, professor of physics was in carnce at time; he was irrom«proachible character. Philip Weekenridge; wealthy, bears reputation of diligent student; was very like at the time. This has been sworn to by Prof. Bruce and has been subsequently confirmed by an other at the theatre; was a competitor for the Stanton Prize.

Herbert McLean, professional genealogist, very likely to protect the townman was passing house when more occurred; entered house with Bruce. rived at by the police. We shall, however, confute to work on such clues as much as the time of the time. For the last few days, Lucille's conduct had been a puzzle to Mrs. Walton—the two lived together at the Montgomery, Mr. Montgomery, was an electrician, and the man who had been playing with the questions on electricity for the few evenings past. She had been inquiring all about the mystery of walls, vells, amperes, short circuits and insulation, referring from time to time to a book on electricity that she had recently bought, and to the reading of which she had devoted much time. Her conduct was a puzzle Mrs. Jeanneette Bruce, a member of prominent Indiana family. Her mother Mrs. Augusta Inglis, was descendant of old southern family and had been disbanded by her uncle—one of whose heirs she married. She had married a major in the Union Army at the close of the Civil War in opposition to his wishes.

She had been inquiring all about mystery watts, volts, amperes, short and long, from time to time to a book on electricity that she had recently bought, and to the reading of which she had devoted her. Her conduct was a puzzle to everybody. The meaning of the execution dawned. It all seemed a horrible dream to her, to think that a few minutes after 10 that morning all that would be left of her was gone. Surely God would not permit him.

She swallowed a cup of coffee hurriedly, kissed Mrs. Walton goodbye, picked up a leather grip and left, the John had been resigned up to the last, "I shall show them how an innocent man can die," he had said resolutely. He had earned not a single tremor of fear. He had made up his mind to love to the inevitable—all he asked for was the death of his father. He willed his death. The whole madness of the state was against him, and the only thing he could do was to declare his innocence and submit. It was a battle with the inevitable—a battle in which he was hounded to be the loser, he decided. He was not the only officials who had argued him again and again to contess he pretested his innocence each time, and at last asked them not to mention the matter again: "I shall always give the same answer," he said. My conscience evidently came clear. "If you will still give me, I see that destiny is against me, and I have no other resource than to bow to it." CHAPTER XXII Had Lucille not thrown down the morning paper so hurriedly there was another interesting item of news that she would have seen. This was that Philip who had set up a examination paper, had arrived a few weeks later. Over in his apartment Philip was awakened by a party from his frat who had come over to congratulate him. They were greeting him from his bed had thrust a glassful into his hand. He drained it with a few off-hand words of thanks for the gathering. As he placed the glass on the table his eyes fell on the morning paper. He was stunned by the answer. The meaning of his eyes, John Walton was to die at 10, he suddenly remembered. Glancing at the clock he saw that it was 9:30. He stood a few moments in deep thought, apparently oblivious to the presence of his friends, then with a smile he turned to the camera and a eah for me! he dashed back into the bedroom and hurried into his clothes. Asking his friends to wait until he returned, he ran down the steps and into the waiting cab. He was the police station as fast as you can" he said. In a few minutes he was there. The cabman opened the door for him, but he sat still within. "Here you are, sir," said the man, but Philip said apparently in deep reflection, it was almost a minute before he determined what he was going to do. On the sidewalk before the redribbles station he caused for several moments, then walked walked slowly toward the step. Arriving he pussed agonized at it is watch and placed one foot on the step. He walked down the steps, through the door, and started down the steps. Philip turned and walked rapidly. Out on the sidewalk he lailed the first cab he saw. "Where to?" asked the driver. "Anywhere. I want some fresh air." John marched between two guards in the execution chamber. The chapman read aloud in a solemn voice: "I know that my skin was torn at the knee and I was upon the earth, though after my skin wounds destroys this body yet in my flesh shall I see God." John heard it all he is in a dream. Did all these preparations mean that in the last moment he would be well, Well, he had to be so. A tremendous earnest over him at this thought. He reflected how kind the fathers and fellow prisoners had been to him particularly in the last moment, and being doing away with the world may better. He remembered his first meeting with Lancelle, and how happy he had been together with her. He suddenly remembered how body, eyes as he had went over that of a dear friend not so long ago and the tears began to force themselves into his eyes. He suddenly remembered how the cause of opening tents might be misinterrupted and restrained them by a supreme effort of will. For the sake of Lancelle and his mother it should not be given out that he had been other than The guard conducted him to the fais chair. He seated himself in it with the chair. The guard then informed the man, "You innocent the chair looked in the matly painted room!" he reflected, and he was perplexed, the beard attendant whispered to another, "His body is wet. The jice will work quickly." The chaplain pleaded with him once "I have nothing to confess," he replied calmly. "Tell my mother and my finances calmly. "Tell my mother and my finances that my last thought is of them. I do incurement. If he asked his eyes, resolved to say nothing more. In an adjoining room the extenuated recoiled for the great switch. In another instant invisible death would strike with the violent vigence. Slowly he brought it down.

SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1923 Automobile accidents, bootlegging and French doings in the German Ruhr, with little variation, constitute the news of the day. The best argument in favor of a black boy reading the Declaration of Independence before any audience, for that matter, is fortune has rarely condescended to be the companion of genius. The 1922 year book of the Agricultural Department, at Washington, just published, shows that the tobacco crop covers only about one-half of one per cent of the National crop acreage, tobacco being grown on 450,000 farms, North Carolina leading, the total revenue from tobacco being nearly $300,000,000 yearly. While Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia are the leading producers, some tobacco is raised in forty-two of the States. The Jacksonville, Florida, Journal, a daily newspaper, is thoroughly aroused over the migration of Afro-Americans from that State and the South generally, and says: "Negroes are going North by the tens of thousands; until now some of the basic industries of Florida and its neighboring States are threatened by as serious a labor shortage as during the war, and tending to grow even more serious." It thinks that the situation cannot be ignored and needs the best thought of all of the best citizens. Ewan S. Agnew, director of Panck, England's humorous weekly, says, "The Americans have as good a sense of humor as the British. Americans laugh more than the British. There are too many gigglers in America." Did you ever! Too many gigglers? Who would have thought it? Mr. Agnew has been visiting the United States, and waited until he got safely on a British steamship before accusing us of giggling too much. And they do say the British sense of humor is as dense as mud and seldom provokes an American giggle. --- There is something about the cap and gown on a high school graduate that suggests too much finish. At best a college diploma is just a piece of paper to certify that the holder has passed through. Whether he is educated or not remains to be seen. The truly educated person is modest and rarely seen attired in the habiliments of much learning. The high school graduate is just beginning to moisten his feet in the processes of education and he seems rather premature for the cap and gown vestment. None of the dignity or achievement of a high school diploma is lost by the wearing of modest street clothes at graduation. The practice may be good, but the JOURNAL AND GUIDE believes that the cause of real education will be helped if the high school graduate is taught to think of the cap and gown as something appropriate to wear when one finishes college or university. The Highest Form of Bread T. Thomas Fortune, in a recent issue of *The Hotel Tattler*, says: "My esteemed contemporary, the Norfolk JOURNAL AND GUIDE, one of the best and most enterprising newspapers we have, announces for June 9; a bread baking contest, open to all women of the race in Norfolk and vicinity. Seven cash prizes are offered, the highest $15 to be awarded to the best biscuit bakeress. We who live in Harlem and the Greater New York seldom ever see a biscuit of the old school our mothers and grandmothers used to make, and which it makes the mouth water to think about. We have been fed on baker's bread, called 'wazz nest' down South, so long that we have almost forgotten what real biscuit, the highest form of bread, tastes like. The Journal AND GUIDE is in mighty commendable business in stimulating interest of our women in cookery and general proficiency in home-keeping." Truth to say biscuit cooking is not now as fashionable in the homes of the South as it used to be. So fine an art should not be allowed to perish any more than should the old "corn pone," without which no boiled dinner is worth eating. "Be a Good Animal" It is a common sense view of the matter to say that a strong mind should have a strong body in which to dwell and do business, and there was a very interesting discussion not long ago as to whether the small or large men had done the most of the world's thinking and acting in the history of mankind. It is a very interesting question. Certain it is that the spiritual influences in our system are great consumers of the material substances of the "To be a super animal, I believe, is the first duty of a Christian. If isn't paganism to be animals: it's getting back to Christianity. If we neglect the primary obligation of physical vigor, the energy needed for moral victories will be frittered away in a fruitless struggle with disease and weakness. Not to be as strong and as happy as possible is to cheat God' and to cheat our fellow men." Out door living, work and recreations, and, systematic athletic training in our schools, are doing much to develop to the full the physical health of the people of the country, and on that account should be encouraged not only among the young but among the grown-ups, not necessarily to produce brilliant men and women but to produce average men and women with sufficient physical reserves to do the ordinary work of life most efficiently and easily. The Blyden Branch Library The Blyden branch of the Public Library which is situated in the Booker T. Washington High School building has been of considerable service and benefit to the community since its establishment, but its facilities are not being put to as through use as they should be, according to authentic reports. There is also a tendency upon the part of patrons, the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is informed, to abuse the rules of the library through tardiness in returning books and carelessness in allowing them to become soiled and torn when taken out of the building. In order that these abuses may be corrected and more interest taken in the library those in charge of it are asking the co-operation of the public, which is essential, not only to the life of the present plant, but to any extensions of the same. The cultural and elevating influences of public libraries are too well known to require eniphasizing in these columns. The point to be made in this particular case is that a large number of people are losing by default the benefits of such influences that have been made available for them. Public libraries are an important adjunct to public instruction and the largest possible uses should be made of them, to the end that public education may be as thorough as it is possible to make it by the combined use of the facilities provided therefor. Larger school buildings have come as a result of an unmistakable demand for them. Larger and better equipped libraries will come only in response to such demands. If we do not use to the extent of its present capacity the library we have we will be giving a practical demonstration of a lack of cultural desire which exists as a result of apathy rather than of fact. The Blyden Branch Library is well equipped and efficiently conducted and should be more largely patronized by the citizens of the community, and all who make use of it should do so with the strictest regard for the established rules of such institutions. Race Disposition to Magnification When people have not a great deal of that which is much esteemed the natural disposition is to magnify, over magnify, the little they have. This point was brought out forcibly in a recent address before the student body of Howard University by Mr. W. II. A. Moore, of Chicago, a writer of exceptional verse and prose, and who is connected with the Associated Negro Press, his subject being, "The Dramatic Elements in Negro Life." He thinks the dramatic elements in our life are to be found in the simpler stresses of its actualities, "the genius of the race being stoutly for the accentuations of life expression." Mr. Moore thinks that "the warm nature of the Negro has been chilled by the ironic blasts of the deliberate indifference of America to the spiritual fitness of his tropical nature." He is, however, surprised that "the Art spirit of the American Negro has not given us yet but few indications that it possesses the power to soar. Isolated instances of our supreme ability to soar have been so scattered and few that they have made but a slight headway along the popular highways of popular discriminating acclaim. Medicocracy has usurped the throne and posed as the royal ruler of our Kingdom of Art." And the disposition to magnify what we have accomplished in all directions often obscures the real value of it. But we shall outgrow this weakness by growing perfect in the small phases of Art in order to be able to master the larger phases. As in art so in other things, where the small victory leads to the large one. In a well thought out article in a recent issue of the Negro World on our poets, John Edward Bruce named most of those who have survived in their small strivings from Phyllis Wheatley to Frances Watkins Harper and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, but he made no attempt to classify them according to their intrinsic worth; because they were pioneers he magnified, he even glorified, them all alike. Of course, this sort of thing makes for confusion, but we shall come out of it as we go along and produce more Dunbars who not only have imagination but who are masters as well of the requirements of verse making. If we do not magnify our little efforts we shall have no encouragement to produce big efforts which can magnify themselves as well as those who produce them. "Art is long and time is greeeting," and only those get at the end of perfect accomplishment who keep on striving from sire to sire. Norfolk Journal and Guide Commercializing Newspapers There is an old English saying that error cannot prevail while truth is left free to combat it. The newspapers of the country are the agencies which should more than any other stand for a free and fair presentation of the news and opinions which make for truth or error in the life of the people. Newspapers used to be the property of individuals who stood for a principle and whose personality was a guaranty of good faith. Whatever side of public questions they took, and there are always two sides to every question, loyalty to the Nation and fairness towards the general public were generally conceded. All this has been changed during the past fifty years. The press has grown to be a tremendous power for money making and controlling the public opinion and policies of the Nation. Hardly one of the great newspapers of the country is now owned and edited as in other days. They are owned by companies or corporations and are conducted in their news, opinions and policies with special reference to their money making possibilities. That is to say, the press of the country has become very generally impersonal and commercialized. The Nation, one of the ablest and most fearless of the weekly newspapers, in speaking of this commercializing phase of newspapers, based upon a recent transaction, says: the sale of the New York Globe to Frank A. Munsey is nothing less than journalistic tragedy. As he has destroyed so many others, this merchant of newspapers ruthlessly ended the existence of what was, not only the oldest daily in New York, but also the most liberal, the most interesting, and the newsiest of its evening newspapers." By purchase and consolidation Mr. Munsey has wiped out eight dailies and whipped them into four—the Herald, the Telegram and the Sun and the Globe—the avowed purpose being to centralize their readers and advertisers for the purpose of making money. Mr. Munsey has, or did, own newspapers also in Baltimore and Washington. William Randolph Hearst, like Mr. Munsey, owns a string of newspapers and magazines, whose primary object is to make money and influence public opinion and affairs' to the same sordid end. It has been shown that this domination of newspapers in the Munsey and Hearst way is positively dangerous to the general welfare and has led to the assassination of one President and the encouragement of much predatory and mob lawlessness covering a wide area, and long years of time. The commercialization of the newspapers of the country is a very dangerous business and is growing to be more so all of the time. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) A movement is under way in New York to revise the Bible. Probably with a view towards the elimination of that passage that refers to the rich man, the camel and the needle's eye. As we understand the report that the Democrats are checking over their dark horses; it is well to note that dark horses are long shots, in the parlance of the turf, and long shots us is: Who went after them? It is said that the women in Haiti nearly all smoke big black cigars. Would you say they're ahead of our American flappers? A press report says, a jury in Federal Court in Newark, N. J., drank the evidence, a bottle of Scotch whiskey and brought in a verdict of guilty. Sounds plausible. Two women in a Chicago court claim to be the mother of the same child. The puzzle was solved by a judge. The loser fainted. Moral: The quality of justice is not strained. RELAXATION Jes' a fishin' pole and pipe, Waiting for the fish to bite.

Spirit of The Press Negro and the South From Norfolk Ledger Dispatch Beyond doubt the colored people of the south are moving to other sections in the hope of bettering their condition. This is but natural. The only way to combat it, as Prof. Moton says, is to give them here the things they are moving to obtain, in so far as it is possible to do so. As a matter of fact, many of the inducements held out to them to go north or west have proven chimerical, but there is no doubt that some reforms for the benefit of the colored people should be made in the south. One of the most important is the matter of living conditions. In a large number of cases they are not what they should be by any means. The southern states as a rule, are awake to the value of education and the facilities for the colored race are undoubtedly getting better. The climate of the south is warmer than the race than that of the north, and they are not better. For their ultimate good they should remain here and join forces with the white race to get here the betterments for which they are now making a doubtful move. NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. JUST as individuals differ, insurance-needs differ. We have a policy to fit every need, and our agents are trained in fitting policies to individual cases. This is known as the "Case-Method." 1. Why is this column called the Whatnot column? In the old homes, before the days of the parlor, or the advent of the drawing-room, there used to be a front room, where Sis' could entertain her beau under the ever watchful maternal eye (unless 'twas occupied by the stoic fathers of the church, discussing ways and means, an honor seldom enjoyed by the modern parlor and rarely, if ever, by the fashionable drawing-room.) Memory recalls that among the quaint furniture of this hallowed room there stood in the far corner a series of about six small shelves, the lower large enough to accommodate the family album, and the upper barely large enough to hold the family daguerreotype. On the intervening shelves were placed odds and ends of briac-brac and Whatnot, which name was given the series of shelves by the "old folks at home," and a name that we feel is fitting for this series of questions and answers of Whatnots of Negro History and other Whatnots of interest. Hannibal of Carthage, the greatest General of ancient times, not excepting Caeser, and who was born in B. C. 247, stands out in history as an exponent of military genius and unequalled strategist. He was the son of Hamilcar Barca, who nursing an unquenchable hatred of Rome, transmitted that hatred to his son who solemnly dedicated his life to warfare with the Latin city. Hannibal attacked the Roman town of Sagantum in Spain, and the Roman Legions preparing to encounter him near Massilla, were astounded when Hannibal and his hosts appeared before Rome to attack the legions upon their own, and succeeded the Pyrenees, and the Rhone with nearly 100,000 men, and after suffering severe losses in crossing the Alps, inflicted a crushing defeat upon the Romans at Cannage. For 15 years this great Carthaginian held his ground in southern Italy. Returning to Carthage he set his scopio and his legions at Zamma, where his weary, hosts who had crossed and recrossed the Pyrences, Rhone and Alps were flinted by the French in battle, Hannibal died B. C. 183. 3. Who was Henry Highland Garnett? Rev. Henry Highland Garnett was a great leader of his race.

This school conducted a demonstration in syntax, or sentence analysis, June 8, at the school, to which the public was invited. The principal and teachers sent out a challenge to any eight grade students anywhere to compete, with John T. West's eighth grade class in sentence work. The challenge was not accepted. In the demonstration the students showed wonderful familiarity with sentence construction and denomination. LOTT CAREY OFFERS Continued From Page 1.1 The teachers, Miss A. M.

Foot Notes To African History (By THE HAMITIC LEAGUE) Osiris, the Great God of Old Egypt Of course you have heard that Africans paint their gods black, but have you ever read that the greatest of all Egypt's gods was painted the color of Pennsylvania coke? His name was Osiris and believe us, Mabel, he was some nummkins in his day. Egypt claims that Mr. Oisiris and his wife, Isis, came from Ethiopia and decided that the Nile country was a nifty spot to build a nation. With the black mud Oisiris started making the men, while Isis made the women. When they had turned our enquiry, Mr. and Mrs. Bentham then enlistment. Then came the murder of Oisiris, the search of Isis for his body, the conquest of his enemies by his son, Horus, and the founding of that great secret order from which modern Masonry comes.
