DEAF MUTE IS SUSPECTED AS AX MURDERER Sign Language Fails to Elicit Information From Man Held Concerning the Horrible Crime. WAS ADOPTED CHILD OF MURDERED WOMAN Lying cold in its own blood, the body of Mrs. Florence Warrington, Accomac County, was found by neighbors or the kitchen flour of her home on the morning of June 30, with its head severed. Nearby was a bloody axe, the tell tale of how the woman lost her life. After Douglass, a deaf mute, had been adopted by Mrs.ington and her husband, who five died, is in Accomac County under suspicion of having committed the deed. There is no evidence against him, the police say, more than it is thought that there was no other person in the house besides him and the woman at the time the crime was committed. Interpreters, using sign language and all other methods known to these familiar with communicating with the ideal and dumb, have made frontier efforts to wring from Douglass some information concerning the crime, but so far, their efforts have been futile. The prosecutor has nothing upon which to base charges against the man more than circumstantial evidence, which is dimy. Douglas made no attempt to escape and the positive for the heinous deed is a mystery.

Officer Candie Fentress, who was with officer Gimbert at the time was shot, but not seriously wounded. Pat Spellman, brother of the pair, was sentenced to five years and Lake Spellman, Jr., a nephew of the convicted men was freed. Lake turned state's evidence. He was only 47 years of age and it was from him, it is claimed the officers obtained the confession. Two of the convicted men testified that Eup Barnes and his brother, white men, were owners of the stilt and employed them to make a run, promising to pay them $15 for the work. They claimed that the white men did the shooting. This testimony was also given at the time of their arrest. CLAIMS CONFESSION FORCED Attorney J. S. Barron appearing for the defense attempted to show that the truth of the confession was obtained under third degree methods. When questioned along this line, the boy on one occasion admitted the truth of this, after that he had a happy facility for not remembering. How he learned to use the word "dismember" to evade answering court questions puzzled many of the spectators. It is generally known that this is a method resorted to by intelligent witnesses to evade answering questions. Luke J. does not appear to be possessed of this familiarity of court testifying, unless he learned it since he told the police that his relatives shot officer Ginbert. Eddie Shears, another cousin also corroborated the statement of the defense that he and Luke Spellman had been given a mock trial in Princess. Anne County and told to testify that the colored men shot the officers and the white men were no where near at the time of the killing.

Stanley. In Charge. KLAN DEMONSTRATIONS NOT TERRORIZING RACE (Special To The Journal and Guide) Tuskegee, Ala.-With hundreds of Negroes looking on, 200 ghouls of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan, representing "50,000 members" of that order or "100 per cent Americans" who must wear masks to hide their identity when upholding Americanism, paraded the public highways surrounding the Tuskegee Institute Tuesday evening, in protest against the intention of that government, which they themselves are sworn to protect and uphold, to place Negro physicians and surgeons in Government Hospital No. 81, for Negro veterans of the World War. This event, which happened on the eve of the celebration of independence Day, was graphically reported in the columns of the Montgomery Advertiser. The Montgomery Journal and other southern dailies. When these reports are read and the real truth is that it is the policy of the Klan and their sympathizers to mask the truth as well as the face. The Advertiser tells in a unique style: "The automobiles base with garbred and mysterious faces moved like a gliding serpent while groups of Negroes locked on in combat we and silenced." The Journal with similar nerve relations that: "there was a scarcity of Negroes everywhere. A few laved the effect of the questioning glances of the masked figures out near the institute, but in the city itself the restaurants could not furnish food to the hungry crowds because of the deserted kitchens. It was the same everywhere. The Negroes who did watch the parade were well back from the street and clients—not a trace of absent or misadjudgment was evident. Rings True of "Ye Olden Days" Such reports of the activities of the Klanmen would have been read with credence in the reconstruction days, when Negroes were inspired with fear by the sight of robbed figures purported to be the spirits of dead confederate soldiers, but they make to laugh during this enlightened age. The writer of the Advertiser report must be commended for his vivid imagination in likening a caravan of chugging flies and other cars to a "gliding serpent" but in doing so he disregarded all rules of rhetoric upon which his profession is based, disparaging the use of far-fetched and stretched stiles. It must likewise have been that, vivid imagination which he prompted both writers as well as the two hundred "100 per cent Americans" to believe that a robbed masked figure was mysterious and occasioned fear in Negroes to day. Of the Negroes in the little town, who probably have been brow-beaten and cowed and who have most assuredly been kept ignorant to a certain degree, in quaint old 'southern style, we can not speak. It is however, insecurable that a community as the Institute community, composed of highly trained men and women, devoid of superstition which in itself the products of ignorance, should be terrorized at the appearance of one or a body of brave 'goblins, ghouls or whatnuts' Negroes of that type know that underneath that sheet is a human being, and behind that mask is a human face that is evidently ashamed of the company he is keeping and of the action to which he is a party; that the sheet and mask do not make that human being any more invulnerable than do ordinary clothes, and that the human being underneath it no superman, endowed with peculiar powers immunize Opens Law Office DAVID H.

Receiving from the state corporation commission a charter to engage in the fire insurance underwriting business in this city less than six weeks ago, the Rich-Strong-Brooks Company, with offices in the Metropolitan Bank Building, has up to the present placed more than $100,000 worth of business. This is the first company of colored underwriters to operate here and the public response has been entirely credible, according to statements made by the officials. The company is a member of the Southeastern Underwriters Association and enjoys the reciprocal privileges afforded by a membership in that association. It has placed policies on property in companies in foreign countries as well as the largest fire insurance firms in this country. In fact, they are in a position to replace risks in the same company in which they were formerly held.

This young man has listed several risks that will be turned over to him for placement at the expiration of the present policies. He is going after business with a zeal that should insure for his company a profitable career here. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 ASKS HINES TO STAND FIRM IN HOSPITAL CASE Washington Lawyer Tells Bureau Director the Question is One of Government of Laws or Individuals. A BACKDOWN WOULD BE A NATIONAL DISGRACE (Special To The Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., July 13.—James A. Cobb, former Assistant U. S. District Attorney, legal representative at the National Capital of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, has made demand upon General Frank T. Hines, Director of the Veterans' Bureau, that he take a decided stand against the Ku Klux Klan and those citizens of Tuskegee, Alabama, who are attempting to encroach upon government precrerative in connection with the Hospital for colored World War veterans at that place. Mr. Cobb insists that "the question at issue is whether this is a government of laws or of a few individuals who consider themselves greater than the law." "Since the government has decided to man the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, with a colored personnel," Mr. Cobb states, "it is required of all law-abiding citizens that they support the government in its decision, and it is the duty of the government to prohibit any interference with the agencies selected to carry out its decision." In a letter to Director Hines under date of July 6, Mr. Cobb says: "It has been demonstrated that there is only one step from intimidating the Government in one instance to intimidating it in another. The only safe and safe course for any government, and of course that means the agencies who are supposed to carry into affect the government functions, is to take a decided stand against anything that even pretends to be an encroachment on governmental prerogative. Nullification was a moving factor in bringing on the Civil War; and human nature from that day to this has not changed. The President in his speeches throughout the country is declaring for law enforcement. These speeches are as a sounding brass and a tinkling symbol unless the agencies of the Government themselves see to it that they themselves do not yield to disorder and outlawy. "Mr. Director, I have no hesitation in saying that if the Government, thru you, yields to the threats and intimidation of a few alleged citizens, it will sow to the wind and reap through the whirlwind. The thing to do and the only safe course for the Government is to select the proper personnel, irrespective of threats and intimidation from any sources whatsoever, and make its appointments and see to it that the appointees have the proper governmental protection. If that be done there will be no trouble in this matter and none in the future. If it be not done, I repeat, however well-intended the motive for doing otherwise, it will amount to setting in motion a poisonous stream that in the long run may be the Government's undoing." FAIRS ARRANGE TO GET GOV. EXHIBIT FAIRS ARRANGE TO GET GOV. EXHIBIT On June 14, Dr. John Love, secretary of the Negro State Fair of North Carolina and president of the National Association of Colored Fairs, who had been in New York for some time, left that city with an appointment to meet Robert Cross, the secretary of the national organization and manager of the Norfolk Colored Fair. The two had appointments with prominent Government officials for the purpose of making an appeal for exhibits at Negro fairs of the displays that are prepared by the Department of Agriculture, the Mining Bureau, the Department of the Elected Organist MR. WALTER C. FULFORD Mr. Walter C. Fultford was elected organist of the First Baptist Church at its recent annual meeting. He is not only a popular young man, but is able fitted for his new duties. His musical training consists of many years of study under Mrs. Ida L. McKirahan at the old Norfolk Mission College and under Prof. Roy W. Tibbs of Washington and at the Howard University Conservatory of Music. In addition, Mr. Fultford has had some considerable experience along musical lines, having served as choirmaster and organist of the St. James A. M. E. Church in Erieley and of the Emmuel A. M. E. Church in Portsmouth. In both these positions Mr. Fultford succeeded in building up a choir which became a synonym for good music. It is the plan of the church to have Mr. Fulford and the choir take full charge of the service each fifth Sunday night. The first one of these sacred musicals will be given the last Sunday evening in July. Interior and other administration bodies for such use. Heretofore Negro fairs have not been included in the itinerary of these exhibits, but if the representations of these men speaking for all of our fairs prevail our group will obtain their proportion of these educational exhibitions for its fairs.

KENNEY IN NEW YORK That the situation growing out of the absurdity of southern white men demanding that white doctors be permitted to wait on Negro patients has become extremely intense is manifested by the arbitrary ordering of Dr. J. A. Kenney to leave Tuskegee. He is now in New York with his family. For twenty-one years Dr. Kenney has been the superintendent and surgeon-in-chief of the John A. Andrews Memorial hospital at Tuskegee Institute. He stands high in his profession. He is the editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association. He was also one of the three prominent candidates for commanding officer of the veterans hospital at Tuskegee; the other two being Dr. T. Edward Jones, assistant superintendent of the Freedmen's hospital, and Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, technical assistant in charge of colored trainees at the Veterans' Bureau. In his flight from Tuskegee to New York, Dr. Kenney stopped over if Washington. He refused to discuss the matter. "In the interest of Tuskegee Institute and racial good will," he said. "I think it best to refrain from discussing a subject that is most painful and delicate." The telegram of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to the President, asking for Federal troops to protect Tuskegee Institute and Dr. R. Moton, its principal, has caused some speculation to the whereabouts of Dr. Moton. From Tuskegee Institute, it is reported that he will soon return from his "vacation," begun somewhat precipitately when the townpeople became incensed over reports that the white staff now on duty would be immediately replaced by Negroes. of work that has been planned by the National Association of Colored Fairs in the interest of all colored fair associations, and the thousands of our farmers who attend these fairs annually for the purpose of obtaining the information that will be of assistance to them in cultivating the soil and raising better crops and live stock, also the city folks who may be interested in the garden at home or country estate. elegation of Residents Visits Newly Arrived Family At Night and Warns That Color Bars Presence In Neighborhood. Moose Barkentine Founders In Port Monday night about 8:30 o'clock a delegation of between 80 and 100 white residents of Brampton visited the house on the southeast corner of Rowland and Cooke avenues, in which a colored family had moved the previous day and informed the people of the house that they had crossed the "dead line". That is to say, they had moved into a section reserved for white residents only. To the delegation there seemed to be no doubt that the family was colored, but according to statements made by people who have known them for years, there has always been some question of their racial identity. It is said that the family considers itself white and all of its members including the mother and a number of children, have no difficulty in "passing", but as to the father, there is always a question that makes the neighbors mumble and shake their puzzled heads. In fact, it is said, that it was the going in and out of the father that aroused the suspicions of the white people, who after peering around for a time, decided that the family was colored and would have to move forthwith. CROWD GATHERS There was some indignation expressed by the white residents. The crowd that gathered when the delegation appeared at the house included about a half a hundred white children who eagerly awaited developments. There was no intense hostility shown the family, but it was evident that the visitors meant business. The police after being informed of the situation, took no chances, however, and a Ford car load of them appeared on the scene, a number of the officers camping around the house all night. The family was given time, it is said, to find another location. They agreed to move. Hampton Roads Lodge, G. U. O. of Moose, which was the local lodge of Moose organized several months ago with some well known Norfolk men as officers, disbanded last week and passed out of existence, unsung and unstept. The Moose barkentine passed off just as unceremoniously as she set sails upon Norfolk fraternal seas. The barkentine struck a snag on her maiden voyage into the port of Hampton Roads. This was when a few days after it had been announced that the barkentine of colored Moose had arrived from Chicago, Ill., the port of embarkation, and was cruising around the port of Norfolk, flying from her topmast all the colors of Moose, the white ship of that same registry, (white Moose) which has been navigating these waters for a number of years, picked up the news with her powerful radio and instantly steamed out to hunt the little craft calling itself a colored order of Moose. She found the barkentine safely berthed in Norfolk waters, taking on a full passenger list of members. Right then and the captain of the white brig started an investigation. He encircled the barkentine a few times to make sure she was actually flying the same colors and purporting to be of the same registry. Satisfying himself that this was a fact, he immediately "hoved to," swung "longside the barkentine and ordered captain Walter H. Land, mate, William T. Mason and coxswain James A. Spratley, to haul down colors and change registry or else be hailed into the admiralty courts on a charge of infringment. That is, to say, the white Mooss threatened to hail the colored order into court. Things became quiet and a little nervous on the barkentine, while the crew, captain, mate and coxswain went into a caucus. It was decided to dispatch captain Walter Land to Chicago, the barkentine's port of registry, to advise His Royal Highness' officers of what was threatening their bark in Norfolk waters. Captain Land went to Chicago and returned here with not an encouraging report. There were rumblings that everything was not just right in the homo port. His Majesty's officers did not seem inclined to protect their little ship outside of the three-mile limit.

The members of the visiting party were well known men of Brambleton. No masks were worn nor any attempt made on the part of anyone to hide his identity. Tuesday morning a JOURNAL AND GUIDE reporter called at the house, thinking probably that the family had been victims of an indiscreet real estate dealer. REPORTER GETS COLD WELCOME A lady sitting at the front window saw the reporter step up on the porch. Before he had time to knock, she was at the door demanding in strong tones, "What do you want?" The woman was informed that it was understood that she had suffered some embarrassment the night before from her neighbors. She was told that the colored people of the city were eager to learn of the circumstances and in order that the blonde for her predicament might be rightly placed. Another young woman, who appeared at the door by this time, immediately explained, "Why didn't they send a white man to talk to us, we don't talk to niggers." The reporter informed the woman that it was none of his business what kind of a man his paper sent out on an assignment, but he'd be glad to get the facts. "No! No! No news for niggers," she said. OTHER FOLKS TALK However, there were other people who have known the family for years, and who were anxious to tell the reporter its history. And they did tell all they knew or had heard. On account of family and business connections, which it is claimed the people have made by "passing" the reporter would not divulge their names. The small children in the family do look like white people and so does the mother, but the woman who hurled those nice words at the board the Moose park, when it was decided to pull down the insignia as per orders of the captain of the white bride. The little ship then steamed around awhile under the name of the Hempton Roads Club, but the foregoing events had caused the passenger-members to lose interest in the arkontine. They began to cancel their sailings until it was finally decided to abandon ship. The few remaining booked passengers with the officers met last week and divided what rations they had on board, which were in the form of a small amount in the treasury. In the division each passenger-member received a check the size of which would require about fifty to make the first payment on a filver. They gave a little supper, munched a few "hot dogs," laughed over their experience on the fraternal seas in an untried bark and went home neither praising nor condemning.

Whatever took in the way of reading and study of musical text books and music sheets, or of paid lessons from a recognized superior and of faithful practice, I would readily supply. Moreover, I would allow no opportunity to pass for hearing the time masters of my art. Raising Musical Taste The very important essential in奏es, but few bloody by many church" organisers, is the nec- sory for elevating the musical art of all the citizens of the country itself. What all the school teachers enmits and professional men allow women in high school and college graduates, music teachers, music leaves, and members of musical club. It is not nobelly anne that first class musical en- griers can "carefully draw cewel room to guarantee exposures, the in "merely hait a local pizzz" concert or a "bruch chan" that sing everything screaming at the top of their voices or a couple of falsetto- ing male quartets to peek in churches and lecture halls out. A master of the "king of instruments" can play faultlessly and be coined as "music to be hea- lled," while some croceo-hooped- ing, hand-raising, shoulder-shaking performer can "set the home-void." The Organist's Opportunity If I were a "big church" organizer, I would set myself to the task of changing all this. I would do it by inviting to my town at regular intervals some of the generally recognized masters. Continual testing of such men and women, and of their own on my part to match them in their roles and in the singing, individually and collectively, of my choir, would gradually produce the desired effect upon the people. For example, the changing tastes of the CHURCH DIRECTORY ST. PAUL, C. M. E. KCHURCH, Cor. Seel and ST. Paul, Sca. Rev. D, L. Miller master. Sunday services; Sunday School master.

Many a "shouting congregation" has been changed into a "listening congregation" in less than two years by persistent following of such a plague. But the pastor is not a man who can easily attenuate holding monos rather than more "amen-getters," and has had to invite only scholarly men to his pubit. An Open Challenge But I say without fear of successful contradiction, no such policy has been followed by our local "big church" organists. Not a single recognized master of the pipe organ or of choral singing with the lone exception of 1907 Miller a local white member of the American Guild of Organists, has been invited to perform in a single colored church during the last nine years! If I were a "big church" organist, I would recognize this as one of my big chances. (New, Mr. Bowling's next article will deal with "The Problems of A Pastor.") GARRETT, C. M. E. TEMPLE Services last Sunday were interesting. A large crowd greeted the pastor both morning and evening. At 11:30 Dr. Garrett preached a most excellent sermon from lapse 9:10, using as his "Zion Travelers" the Enworth League, a puffy which was a success. The pastor preached an other masterful sermon from at 21:26, 28:22, taking as a "Parable of the two sons." Two persons were added to the church.

The morning service was well attended and the pastor spoke vividly as to the spiritualization of Christmas; he was on the verge of a stirring revival at the night service. The funeral of Mrs. Kate Thomas, a resident of Charlottetown, was beautifully prescheduled by the pastor from Numbers 20: 18. Subject: "Thou shalt not mute." The significance of the night service was the Lord's supper. The pastor used for his text John 18:11 verses, in this he beautifully portrayed the great love of God in giving His Son to save a lost world. The sweet quotations of prophecy in connection with the birth, life, and crucifixion of Christ were portrayed. The services resulted in six conversations, and two cessations.

Membership Campaign Progresses The David King Bible Class of the First Baptist Church is still in work in its campaign to gather into the Sunday school and church such of the young men of the city, who are neglecting to connect them solves with these life-saving institutions. The class is gratified with the reception that has attended its efforts but is anking a further appeal in the belief that there are still many young men in the city who have not made the Sunday School and Church a part of the regular program of their life. Some of these men before coming to North Carolina attended the attendants of the Sabbath School. Upon reaching the city however they are carried away by its many appeals.

Kearn said he expected to make arrangements himself to close negotiations with Harry Wills, probably for a Labor day host. "We want to box Harry Wills said Kearns, "if for on the other reason than to convince the public that Dempsey does not draw the color line, and has no fear of him." Many are of the opinion that Kearns sees that Dempsey is slipping and wants a match that will draw the largest crowd, such as a Wills—Dempsey bout is sure to do. He wants his last championship fistcuff affair to be the best. Kearns that the match was red hot a few months ago but for some reaon was sided up. He said it was his opinion that a match with Wills will draw better than a turn match with the former champ Willard. Kearns said that Dempsey had knocked Willard over seven times in one round and could do it again. Consequently he preferred a match nearly equal. A bout of that kind he thought would be one with Wills, the Brown Panther. PLAYS AND PLAYERS The Jack Mills Co. publishers of music, have practically cornered blues market with their progressive ideas. They have issued a catalogue which includes sixty numbers by the popular writers. Miss Billie Rickmon, has recently returned from a very successful run in London with the "Plantation Days" revue. She was among the best with the company. Mr. R. Nathaniel Dett of the Hampton Institute faculty, seems to be having continued success. The latest thing that has been done with his music was the recording of it on the program of the pro-program of the Seattle, Wash., "Americanus" pageant. Lately there have been articles about some understudy of the late John Vaughner not getting the recognition he should from his acting in the No. 2 company of Shuffle Along "Vaughner is still being billed as a member of the cast, according to reports, and getting the credit for acting that the understudy is doing well enough to get special mention for. Whoever the understudy is, should get credit for the work. Miss Daisy Martin, who starred the colored contingent with the Jimmie Cooper Co., during a visit in Boston, has been signed to do a single run with the Jack Reid Co., on the Columbia circuit next season. We published last week an article about a new book on Shakespeare. The author, after paying his respects to Sir Walter Raleigh's book, about which he expresses himself by saying it "masterly," takes exception to Sir Raleigh's remark that each of the plays makes its own impression on the reader and that it should be judged on this ground that "the impression is the play." He raises the objection that this impression will vary according to the individual character of the reader. He continues: "The question arises whether it is not possible to stem, to a certain extent, this subjective current in the contemplation of Shakespeare. This is certainly feasible as soon as we have abandoned an obviously false point of view such as appears in the effort, peculiar to the exegesis of Shakespeare since the romantic movement to make the art as palatable as White, Earl Williams, Ruth Roland, and many others. Classy pictures! STAR The Star presented. Walla a Reid in "The Dictator" with a well supported cast. Each day practically a feature was shown usually a Paramount feature—the paramount features are always good. It also presented a good program of other features and comedies. The theatre is well colled by Typhoon fans. WELLS The Wells split the week with two well attended features—"Domestic Relations starring Katharine McDonald, a movie of interest to all with plenty of life and as human to the last bit of acting. The last half of the week was featured with "Kindred of the Dust," a good and exciting production by Peter B. Kynes. The usual showing of Pathe news and Fox comedy was well enjoyed. ACADEMY The Keith Vaudeville was especially good. The Aasops fables Topics of the Day, and Pathe News were all good. may be by reading into it as much of modern thought and feeling as possible. In this way the interpretation of Shakespeare has strayed into almost hopelessly wrong paths; for the points is not to find the most beautiful, i.e. the most modern interpretation, but the one which is most likely true. We can learn ourselves: "What was the probable attitude of Shakespeare contemporaries to such questions?" A still later writer has expressed his opinion about the Ethiopian Art Co., in the following manner: "Yet the Ethiopian art theatre, by a great deal of hard work, managed to blow a certain amount of its own kind of life into this gilded carcass (the production). At moments the play actually rose from the ground and lived: at moments the audience was under the spell of something like the heavy exotic excitement which Oscar Wilde intended. But another moment the whole play would crush to the ground under the sheer weight of its own verbiage. Miss Emma Julie Keen, the charming soloists who is winning favor in the West is now residing in Chicago, Ill. Many Country's seems to have their art theatre's. The Moscow Art Theatre has succeeded just as the Ethiopian art theatre has, in the opinion of many, both financially and morally. Its founders have raised an objection against the obsolete methods of the traditional drama, and has thus succeeded in reviving intelligent acting, tasteful staging, and true dramatic conceptions. Siki Wins In Fast Bout With Nilles Siki Wins In Fast Bout With Nilles Senegalese Fighter Takes Nilles Measure With a K. O. in the Second Round. Paris, July 8—"Battling" Siki knocked out Marcel Nilles, a French heavyweight pugilist, in the second round of what was to have been a fifteen round battle. Milles in May was knocked out in the eighth round by Georges Carpentier, the light heavyweight. He was considered by followers of the ring to have been France's best heavyweight. Siki's hard head and his "steel" ribs proved immune to an onslaught from Nilles in the first round. The white man carried the battle to the Negro throughout this session, with Siki bent nearly double in a crouch and assimilating everything Nilles handed out to him. The judgment of those about the ringside was that Nilles was sure to be the winner of a onesided contest. According to a vote conducted by the Tribune of Chicago "Shuffle Along" gets fifth place among the Chicago leading attractions. Performances With Age And Youth Youth must be served is an old adage of times dug up when youth has conquered age in some sort of maten. While most of us concede that the old saw proves true, yet there are some times when we are prone to give it as a joke. When we look at the records of the track of Earl Johnson and Joie Ray, the bicycle records of the unde feated Frank Kramer, the Dampsey-Willard bout and the Willard-Johnson bout. the career of Ty Cobb, and the Giants, leading the Negro National League. On the other hand we have the Wilden-Villa bout, the swimming of Johny Weismuller, the track records of West and Hubbard, the golf performances of Sarazen, the running of Paddock, these results make us a believer in youth. Yet again, Johnson beat the twenty year old Vincent Richards for the tennis championship. Well, let them both do their share. Gibbon's supporters point to the face that Tommy has never been knocked down or out by an opponent. He had a string in 1922 that gave him the name of a finisher. His victims included Reich, Williams, Flynn, Mechan and other heavyweights of that class, but none such as Langford, Wills, Kid Norfick, and some of the one that would have spoiled a reputation. Wills may have been knocked down, but he went up against the hardest possible. During the seven years between 1914 to 1920, inclusive, Harry Wills and Sam Langford engaged in 14 fights between themselves. Langford won two, one by the K. $^7$O, route, four were no-decision and Will won eight. A remarkable record for Wills when you take into consideration the fact that Langford was one of the toughest heavies that ever put on a glove. There are a good many fast baseball players, but when one is actually timed in the 100 yards in 10 3-5 seconds, you can say that he is some stepper. And besides the particular player that did this feat in his baseball regalia did not have on the regulation suit. He was catcher Johnson of the Homestead Grays. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Some Sidelights On Our Athletes A defeat is often a victory. In a three mile race in Pittsburgh the other day there were five entrants, Earl Johnson, the champ and three white and one other race lad. From the crack of the pistol it was evident that Johnson would win handily. At the finish of the first lap the other colored lad, Addison, was far in arrears and was soon lapsed by the champ. On and on they ran, Addison losing ground but never faltering. When Johnson finished, Addison had a half go and went it in fairly good spirits and won spirit as though he had won. This teammates cheered and carried him from the field. Addison had "lost," but he had won. Pluck! The two largest cities represented in the marble championships were represed by race lads, and since they came from the largest cities, they were paired and Chicago defeated New York. Even then, they lost the national title they hold the titles of the largest cities, with only boy better than they. "Gourdin is coming back" is heard. The competition of Hubbard is stirring up a desire in Gourdin to do something Hubbard can't come an inch from equaling. Maybe he will. His chance comes on September 8th, when he will complete in the Wilco A. A. games in the Yankee Stadium. Gourdin expects to go to the Olympic games next summer as a jumper on the American team. America is not the only country in which the race athletes are coming to the front. England, for one, has its shining colored star. He is Mr. H. F. V. Edwards, who ran third in the 100 and 202 mater Olympic races last time, and who won the 100, 220, and 440, yds. English championships in one day. It is said that Dempsey's next bout is between Wills and Himself of the winner of the Willard Firpo bout, and Dempsey. But the public wants real fights and not a scientific hegemony of gate receipts by the titleholder. It takes three elements to make a successful championship bout—the tie-holder, the challenge, and the public. Wills in the opinion of the men who know the game is the logical contender to which the fight should go and who in the public will follow. Panama Joe Gans still retains his title and after he was supposed to be slipping back. This is doing well. He handed Walker the K. O., in the 9th round of a 15 round bout. Edgar Brown has again won the Men's singles title in tennis. He eliminated the well known Dr. Williams, after 3½ hours strenuous playing. To show the players were almost matched, the records show that four out of every five games were deceived. Many of the country's stars among the colored race took part in the Press Meet at Pittsburg, among them Earl Johnson who broke the record for the 3 mile. In doing this he lowered the record 11 seconds. Gerald Allen, Charles West, Bridges, and many other notable ones. It is well to note that the discus throw is still West's weak point as he failed to qualify in this at the meet. It is also interesting to note the comeback of Earl Johnson in his breaking the 3 mile. He also showed some good sponsorship when against the will of the officials of the meet he did not participate in the mile event so as to give others a chance at some of the first places. It is not taking the theatre very seriously to make novels into plays. There is a technical interest in it, but not a human interest. What is true of the theatre is true of the screen and when a dramatized play is made into a motion picture it is doubly true. Until outliers are content to write for the screen first—and solely—and make their motion pictures into novels later, the screen will remain at a tremendous disadvantage. The motion picture must have authors who consider the screen first. It necessary, it must develop a school. Novels (and plays) are made into motion picture plays solely to meet the market. That is the author's one and only object. It must be the other way about, and until the producers insist upon it the screen will respond to the dignity, respect and recognition that the theatre enjoys. Until then people will never The Billboard Says: TO MATU go to the motion picture theatre, as for instance, in the spirit of the musical amateur to a symphony concert whereas if he hears a fresh piece, he only expects a first impression. If it pleases him, he will hear it at least once again. If it is a masterpiece, fifty times. That's what the screen needs most of all. Lawrence Deas, who produced the original "Plantation Days" dance numbers and those of the original "Shuffle Along," went from Chicago to New York on June 25 to assemble talent for another "Plantation Days" duplication for Morns Greenwald, one of the partners in the firm that had the show in the Green Mill Garden in Chicago last summer. KEEP BALL IN PLAY FOR TENNIS SUCCESS Many reasons have been put forward by champions and other expert players as an answer for their playing the game so well—but in the final analysis it all comes down to the fact that keeping the ball in play until the opponent is forced to miss and then put over a "kill" is the object. Hugh Doherty said shortly after he had won the U. S. lawn tennis championship that the secret of his numerous victories lay in "Getting the ball over the net oftener than the other fellow." In this reply lies the truth that is too often unrecognized by the ambitious junior, who, eager to make brilliant forgets the slogan "First, First, First," that he advocates pat-ball nor to discourage daring or great speed of stroke—these are the essentials that are necessary absolutely for a winning game—but Richards thinks they should be resorted to in an emergency. The experienced player waits for the opportune moment while the beigner incurs unnecessary risk that are often disastrous. It is a grave mistake that many juniors usually make to try for a kill on every stroke. While it is true the speedy stroke should be held in reserve, think many of the best players, until the kill stroke can be used without fail. The beginners should never meet speed with speed. Better to meet with softness that of course has good length. Daring and brilliance are essential to every champion, but they must be used with intelligence and only at the critical moment. Wm. T. Tilden, worlds tennis champion, asserts that the secret of his success is keeping the ball in play, yet when the occasion demands, no living player can equal hither in speed or daring. Yet many experts would not offer Tilden as a model whereby the beginner could copy strokes. There will happen in the tennis world about once in a million years, in strokes personality, temperment, etc. Tilden is unique. The Youngster who wants to copy good players would do well to copy Edgar Brown, National Negro Champ, or "Little Bill Johnson." These two men are among the greatest stylists in the game today. However lest the all good tennis playing if the methods of the great players far used as the reasons is in keeping the ball in play until the other man was forced to miss. Remember that beautifully formed strokes are necessary to a consistent winner, but also remember that keeping the ball in play until the other misses will return you the big end of the score. Athletics Swamp Fighting Swifts The Athletics of Borkley slaughtered the Swifts of Portsmouth on the glorious Fourth by the score of 16 to 0. The Swifts used three pitchers to no avail while they were helpless before the twirling of Tucker, the Athletics ace. He literally fed them from his hand. Tucker also had a perfect day at bat. Briggs began the pitching for the Swifts but had to take the showers in the second frame. He was relieved by Harris who in turn was given the hook for Long. The Athletics gave Tucker faultless support featured by a fast jab of a sure hit made by Turner on the second sack. This was the only chance the Swifts had to get an run column. Home runs were made by Tucker, Turner; triples by Tucker and Turner, Double plays Tucker, Turner, and Simmons. Hill made a great catch while Hobson is leading the club in doubles. Swifts Athletics A.

Says Tennis Is Fast Changing Its Form "What," Inquires a Player of Olden Days, "Have They Done to Tennis?" The inquiry is born of his recent experience when he decided to resume the gentle and joyous pastime of a couple of decades ago only to find himself on the court the target of artillery fire from across the net. The game, once reserved to curates, to women, and to astigmatic men, is how the property of a particularly ferecious tribe of athletes utterly reckless of their own lives and everyone else's Or so it seemed to the old styled player. Only credit he grants to the modern developers of the game is the fact that they have taken out the word "lawn." The Conversion of tennis no merely into a game for men, but for exceptionally powerful a n agile men at that, is not, however the only change that has taken place within the last twenty years Theplain of the old style player notwithstanding, that is an excellent change, but less easily praised is the tendency, especially in the last four years, to alter the spirit in which the game is played. "As werecle the tennis we once played," says a well known writer, "it was a game in which we were always saying 'sorry' or having some one say, sorry to us. Rather a pathetic, grief-full occupation, as remote from the febrile passion of contentious exercise as the avocation of collecting stamps." An excessively hard boiled writer, this. More nearly accurate, would be the statement that tennis was once a sport characterised by the rigidity of its code of etiquette marked by a meticulous and almost stately courtesy. Even that a t a t brand of "well lately retained that character" still retained it to a large extent among men, but recent exhibitions of ill play by the women formost women players have rather damaged the reputation of tennis as a conspicuous clean sport. "Perhaps that is not a tendency" one writer, but on idiosyncracy confined to two individuals, and the game, is unfortunate only in that those two individuals have risen to a noticeable position in the tennis world." Still Tennis is becoming more and more a major sport and as popular as many of the less exciting games. SLIDES TAKE FAST GAME Nassawdx, Va.—In one of the fastest games on the local lot this season the Portsmouth Pirates went down to defeat in a real pitcher's duel with the Massawdx Slides. The visitors were unable to connect up with the fast curves of Johnson. Johnson struck out nine men and would have scored a shutout had not two errors been made which netted the visitors their two runs. The visitors put up a great game on the field making all kinds of exciting plays. But Johnson was pitching classy ball and after tightening down was unhittable and easily disposed of the batters for the remainder of the game. Warhon looked classy for the Pirates at first, but after seven hits had been gathered off him in four innings he was sent to the showers and Sherman then took the mound and allowed only two hits and no runs making the latter part of the game a fast pitcher's battle. Sherman struck out six men in his innings. Brown of the Pirates was the fielding star of the game. Pulling down several difficult chances without a bobble. A. Bailey and H. Bailey led the stickwork with two hits out of four trips to the plate. To show how classy the pitching was, not an outfielder had a chance for a putout on either team. The game was good with aight hurling and superior fielding. One accident marred the game when Pully was knocked unconscious by a pitch- ball.

(By Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., July 13—"Tiger Flowers" mauled That Jackson of Court House, Ohio, all over the ring Tuesday night in one of the bestights seen here in years. The Georgia middleweight who recently beat Panama Joe Gans weighed only 161 lbs., while Jackson who lost forfeit by failing to make 175 lbs., scaled 185. No decision was rendered, it began agreed at the last moment that if both men were on their feet at the end it would be declared a draw. Newspaper decisions, however, were all in favor of Flowers. Flowers was on the offensive in every round, Jackson electing to let the Atlantic力舟 the issue, always with the thought of finally delivering the finisher.

TESTE Laurence Waring, Clerk. J. M. Harrison, p. q. By A. M. Brown, D. C. (Continued from Page 1) have been three periods, of relations between white and colored people of America: the period of exploitation, when white people worked Negroes (the period of slavery and the years immediately following); the period of benafaction, when white people worked for colored people as objects of philanthropy. We are now entering upon the third stage of inter-racial co-operation when white people are working with colored people for the advancement of their common interests. "It is imperative for the future of America that the evils that have come out of the period of exploitation such as unequal division of tax funds for public schools, mob murder thru lynching, wages lower than those paid to other workers, should no longer be tolerated. The Negro people have made creditable contributions to American literature, science, and music, as well as given indispensable values to agriculture and industry by their labor. America cannot afford to lose these contributions in the future by denying Negroes full opportunity of achievement. "Negroes are now moving into Negroes are now moving into Northern industrial centers at the rate of over 34,000 a year. They are leaving places where they felt insecure in their person and property and where economic inducements are below modern standards. They are seeking to better their condition. Their white neighbors, North and South, have vital interests involved and cannot afford to be inactive. The situation calls for the best thought and action of both races. Penitentiary (Continued from Page 1) men shot the officers and he himself sustained a bullet wound in the leg during the exchange of shots, he went to an old house not far from his home and where he was captured and hid himself at the suggestion of the Barnes. He said that once during his hiding the white men brought him medicine and again they gave him a dollar to purchase medicine. BARNES SOON FREED The presence of the white men at this house led to the capture of Luke. The Barnes denied all this testimony, stating that they did not own the still, neither did they kill Gimbert.

Altho the white men admitted visiting the house where the accused was in hiding; the authorities accepted their explanation of this circumstance when the state stated that they stopped there when making a detour of muddy roads and secured water to drink. Why the accused men particularly accused the Barnes of the crime instead of other men of the county is still an unexplained mystery. Brambleton Is In Eruption Again (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 1) reporter will not be so easily mistaken for white, nor will the father. It is said that they have lived in colored neighborhoods all the time previously. QUESTION AIRED BEFORE Two years ago there was friction when some white property owners in Brambleton sold to colored people. At that time the matter was ironed out by the city taking over the property, and it was agreed between the colored and white real estate dealers that no property in Brambleton proper would be sold or rented to colored people. Since then, however, numerous owners under the economic pressure of having their holdings vacant have offered to rent or sell to colored people in the restricted area. But at this time no colored real estate men are handling, nor will they handle any of this property. About two months ago the matter again hobbled up when enterprising real estate men offered to sell to colored people within the new colored high school district, which embraced some of the restricted section. The matter was settled at this time by the Brambleton white people making further concessions in that the area was extended to include all of that section north of Corprew avenue and west of Park avenue. Some real estate men rent or sell property to colored people in a white neighborhood with the ultimate purpose of forcing the whites out and turning the district over to colored residents. It is invariably a game of exploitation, with the new buyers "dancing to the fiddle." Whenever the whites begin to vacate a desirable section and colored start in up goes the price, sometimes almost double. Colored people who find the neighborly association with their own race congenial and have intelligent aforethought, seldom ever attempt to invade the Brambleton section or any other section where they are sure to suffer indignities, even if they remained, so long as they can find desirable homes in more congenial surroundings. Calhoun Left Because Denied Protection (Continued from Page 1) ing him from death. "This ignorance that conceives such a notion of the psychology of the educated Negro. Mothers do not tell their children today: "Beware of the ghosts, the goblin or the bogeyman" but on the other hand teach them to fear only God and there are no mysterious beings. For this reason there is no fear in such spectacles as presented by the Ku Klux Klan, and if it was the purpose of that noble and courageous band of "100 per Americans" to intimidate and aflight those of the Institute community, many of whom faced the deadly and terrorizing fire of the Hun, with faces Unmasked and breasts bared in defence of America, the hooded realms of Alabama" can now bewail an "lost cause." It is important that such an incident should have taken place at the American cityled of inter-racial cooperation and wholesome inter-racial relations. The Reason The demonstration was caused by the arrival of John H. Calhoun, a Negro who had been assigned to the position of accountant at the hospital by the Civil Service Commission, on the merit of competitive examination. The Advertiser again tells in a most interesting manner how: "Negro Vanishes when White Robed Ban Assembles"; pressure of the moral atmosphere and the fluttering white robes of an invisible multitude," relates how Calhoun, "Went with the clothes he had on at the time, did not even wait for a train or even to HARLEM TRAINING SCHOOL IN CONNECT HARLEM HOSPITAL A course of instruction is offered educational requirements of the Nsire to enter the nursing profession.

The last that any citizen of Tuskegee or attack of the hospital saw of him he was sealing a fence near the grounds and the gathering dusk of evening closed about his vanishing form". It reads like a description of the closing scene of a photoplay in which the villain departs in a ridiculous manner and everybody else "lives happily forever after." Again however, a vivid imagination and advanced copy writing tricked the reporter as there is, as we can ascertain, no fence near the hospital grounds whereby such a finale could be staged, and we have learned from reliable sources that Calhoun, upon being denied quarters at the hospital by the commander of the post, went to the adjoining Institute community, there watched the triumphal but hurried parade of the Klan and left for Atlanta where he met General Hines and apprised him of the situation. Serving Two Governments There is another serious side of this incident. Calhoun, who is a graduate of the Hampton Institute, was assign to duty by the government of the United States. Upon arrival he was refused quarters and upon receiving a threatening letter from the Ku Klux Klan, was denied protection by Coloney R. H. Stanley, the commanding officer, whose sworn duty is to carry out the orders of the government to the best of his ability as a gentleman, a soldier and an officer of the United States Army. In his attitude toward Calhoun he defied the government to which he swore allegiance, catered to southern prejudice and proved himself unit to command the post to which he has been assigned. His first test in handling a situation which has become delicate has proved him a failure and it is heart-rending to think of the treatment that helpless veterans will receive at his hands and those of his ilk. Stanley's Refusal Stanley's refusal to protect a man assigned to his staff because he was a Negro shows clearly that he is not in sympathy with the policy of the administration but that he favors the Ku Klux Klan. The confines of the hospital were entered by the Klan for the purpose of intimidating one of the employees and no protest came from the commander or his staff. There was perfect acquiescence. An officer of the United States Army is supposed to protect his men and uphold the government as all times and not to bow to the demands of any group or empire, visible or invisible. If he fails in this duty, he should be removed and supplanted by a man who has the courage and manhood to discharge his duty as a soldier and an officer in the face of opposition. The prevailing question is whether the government or the Ku Klux Klan will write the policy of the hospital. To place wounded and NU-LIFE SYSTEM MADAM C. J. WALKER SYSTEM Mme. M. O.

The following article by Irwin W. Taylor, appearing in the Negro Progress Record for June, under the caption "Danville Does Things" gives an enlightening account of the wonderful progress program made in business commerce by Negros in the little city on the Dan; "Danville Does Things" "This is the slogan adopted by the Chamber of Commerce of this city, after close and careful observation of the activity of its citizens along the lines of religious, civic social and community endeavor, and the tireless efforts of the people to put over schemes, has permeated the business life of this community, is evidenced by the rapid growth of business along various lines in the city, and the continuing growth in a large measure is the Negro business man. Possibly in no city in Virginia has the Negro showed more rapid progress in the creation and maintenance of a great World War, than he has in this city on the Dan. Taking advantage of the World War prosperity many of the Negroes of Danville have, by sheer frugality and business acumen, forged a strong business empire, built fine residences; organized new businesses and more strongly safeguarded old ones; and substantiated their right to be called citizens of this great commonwealth. Danville has hardly felt the business depression incident to the war. Work for the masses has been plentiful, the building boom has kept up, the cotton mills have been running full blast, and the tobacco industry has been a steady stream of laborers. Among the new enterprises started since the war there are two which stand out pre-eminently—the People's Savings Bank, and the Provident Hospital. A state of two institutions, and their benefits to this and other communities follows: The Savings Bank of Danville opened its doors to begin a general banking business in September, 1919, with resources at the close of that year. On December 31, the close of that year, its total deposits amounted to $20,000; its paid-in capital and surplus $9,000; and its total resources, $12,500. The bank offers to its patrons access to a data bank institution has to offer, including those of a commercial department in which checking accounts are handled; and a saving department which pays four per dollar upwards, compound semi-annually. It issues certificates of deposits bearing four per cent interest, and maintains an active loan department which is as liberal as possible, with small loans as a prudent and conservative banking policy will allow. "It furnishes its patrons also with a safe-deposit box service at annual yearly rate. Four officers annually receive a compensation from the bank. Any of its officers will be pleased to meet or correspond with anyone contemplating a change in business or with the bank which adheres closely to conservative banking principles, yet one that is up-to-date and attentive to every detail of business online." "The officers and directors are: Wakin Thompson, president; P. H. Doswell, vice president; M. C. Martin, cashier; J. E. Martin, assistant cashier; G. W. Goode, assistant cashier; J. H. Adams, P. H. Doswell, Charles Duke, J. E. Greer, W. F. Grasty, F. P. Graves, W. H.ubbard, Theodore Manuel, R. O. Taylor, W. T. Hayton, Watkin Thompson, W. H. Taylor, W. Linsow, and J. A. Youner. The Provident Hospital Association was organized in Calvary B Church, August 1920, with Dr. G. J. Church, bishop of board of managers selected and a charter secured. The preset home of the hospital was purposed from S. B. Nobile, Esquire, for $3,000 movements and additions cost $5,000 and equipment $6,000. The whole outstanding indebtedness is about $4,000. The hospital with its operating床, fully equipped with beds and 25 patients, was opened on December 20, 1920, with Miss L. G. S. L. R., n. superintendent. An emergency committee was selected from the 100 managers to look after the business and needs of the hospital. the first annual report showed that 121 patients had been admitted, 121 major and 89 minor operations, 112 medical cases, and only 22 deaths from a public drive, were $5,000; from a public drive, were $5,000; patients $9,000; and charity total $16,500. The second annual report showed 333 patients admitted to "major" and 116 minor operations, 116 medical cases, 309 of these being charged and only 24 deaths for the cash. *Cash*收入 $12,918.80 for the hospital and charity $2,282.70; total $14,211.50. *For the five months in 1922, there were 188 patients, admitted, 87 medical operations, 45 medical BUILDING AND LOAN CORPORATIONS Norfolk Journal and Guide downtown insurance, while the National Benefit Society, recently launched in this city, is visting with the writing of this class of insurance. GROCERY STORES The grocery business has long been the colorful people of this section. That this business is largely patronized by Negroes is evidenced by the success attained in it by the colored population. The distinction of being the oldest grocery, white or black, in the city. For many years he has conducted a large business and enjoys a large patronage. He conducts stores in two sections of the city and is not only the largest service. Among others most prominent in this line are Betts and Company of Almagro, Jamerson Brothers, W. H. Wilson, North Danville, and Broxham. These stores, well established, conducted and among the most prosperous of their kind in the city. Two of these men, Messrs. and Broxham, have large real estate and are both white and colored in providing home and store sites which bring them, large returns in rentals. Much credit is due Mrs. A. Jamerson for the manner in which she furnished her husband, lished by her husband since his death in 1922. BROOM AND MATTRESS FACTORY "A new venture in the field of business is a broom and mattress company." Brothers in Almogroo in 1921. These young men have built up an enviable reputation in this new line, and many of the stores and stores in the city purchase booms manufactured in their plant. Furniture companies, also, are handling their mattresses. BUTCHERS "There are several men engaged in this line, the most prominent being Watkins Thompson and W. O. Palmer, who have large, sanitary shops, employ many men, handle cargoes of Western meat products, and are distributors to large retailers. They have a modern bookkeeping system and the accuracy with which their accounts are kept shows the success they have attained. RIDGE STREET BAKERY "This is a new concern owned by Wood, Chinney and Dodson, who have built up a large trade. This bakery turns out bread, cakes, pies and ice cream daily, and its auto-mobile deliveries are kept busy in the stores and private homes. It also makes daily shipments to Chatham and other suburban towns which prefer its finished products to others. TRADESMEN "Danville numbers among its citizenry a large number of tradesmen, brick and stone masones being in the majority. Several first-class carpenters are also registered in the city, and feel that they are equal to any task in building. Among the leaders in carpentry are: W. W. Davis and Son, contractors; Albert Taylor and Houston Cobbs. The masones are: R. L. Molety, Lewis Motley, S. R. Burford, Theodore Manuel, foreman, and many others who are classed as skilled artisans. The masones are the most beautiful buildings. Danville monuments to the skill and workmanship of these masones. "As the grocery business has a special line for the colored merchant, so has the barber business for the Negro tradesman. The leading shops in the city are the grocery stores, the steeled, and John Carroll. These men have large, sanitary shops and the barbers employed are kept busy. Among the colored shops which stand out for their sanitation and excellent service are J. L. Harry and Henry Flood, Nicholas Daniel and Johnson and Allen. "In hardly any field has the Negro in this city made more rapid progress than in the undertaking business. There are two establishments that have all the colored shops in the city. H. Brooks, both of whom have up-to-dat establishments, good liveries, and a well-selected line of funeral materials.

Hampton, May, July 18—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, recently had conferred upon him by Williams College, of Williamstown, Mass. Dr. H. H. Gray, Gretel the president, the degree of "Doctor of Divinity." At the alumunite Doctor Gregg referred to Mark Hopkins' gift to Samuel Chapman Armstrong, class of 1868 at Williams College, in 1868 and passed the torch to Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee, and Holly Burke Frissell, who, in turn, kindled the soul of the Tuskegee Institute. "Hampton, like Williams," he said, "has existed from the beginning to train spiritual leaders—leaders who should lose themselves, not in involuntary but in voluntary service ableness." On the problems of inter-racial relationship, Doctor Gregg says "Among all the clash and rivalry of the nations and races of mankind, Africa, and in our own America, what hope is there for the future if we cannot train men of trustworthy intelligence and good-will? It is an immense-problem; but may it be quite as jasminous as breaking adventure: as an unprecedented challenge to our democracy and to our Christianity? If they cannot meet it, if they cannot endure the test, if they cannot show men how to work and work together to overcome those they were, and the sooner we find it out the better."

It may be said to the credit of the Negro population in Danville, that it is learning to patronize Negro business and eshawk it to promote Negro enterprises which employ men and women for its young men and women." Open The Unions To Negro Says "Worker" Writer Tells Unions Negroes Have Proved Worth as Staunch Union Men. *New York; July 13* —Clarissa S. Ware, writing in "the Worker," the organ of the Workers Party of America, vividly describes the New York strong advises. Northeastern Organized Labor to let down its bars and enlist and accept the Negro on equal terms, declaring that Negro workers must be trained to stanch union men in the case of the United Mine Workers and in other unions where they have been admitted. The article follows: "When five live chickens and pigs, in sacks thrown over their shoulders, a race is moving out of bondage to the industrial bondage of the North. "During the last six months a stream of over 100,000 Negroes has flowed from the old plantation lands into the industrial centers, into the mines, mills and factories, and over 50,000 have migrated from 41 counties alone, that each county has lost an average of over 1,000 farm workers, and that over 400 farms on an average have been abandoned. From Alabama, and the South comes the wall of the Negroes who have counted on baco coggers, who have counted on the Negro to stick to his hoe. "Two or three months ago labor recruiting agents coming from the steel mills of Pittsburgh and Ohio appeared and signed up the Negro farm hands for free rides to the mills, and the Negro farm hands for the slavey of the non-union mines and mills: "Today, Alabama has lost three and one-half per cent of its total Negro farm population. in Georgetown, and in the extreme. More than 32,000 farm hands, or over 13 per cent of the total Negro farm labor of the State have "moved north." They have left their crops planted in the ground, their shack doors joily opened, their wagons loaded, high wages and a steady job in the promised land of the North. "They are passing thru Chattanooga, Tennessee, in gangs of 500 each in charge of the Northern Industrial Labor Agents. In Jackson, Alabama, and four hundred are starting on the same journey." The Exotus, from Egypt is on The whole vicious system of peonage, share, cropping and tenancy which have enslaved the Negro to the field boss, landlord, slave and maid, mark courts and mob rule—the lynchings—the utter mockery of all legal and political rights, these coupled with the short cotton crop of the last two years have prevailed in recruiting agents. Except for the war-time exodus of 500,000 nothing like the present migration has occurred. Today the Negro migrant is answering the call of the steel mills for cheap labor. Some time ago the South had modern employers to go South and bring Negro laborers. "The Negro farmer of the South has never been beyond the limits of the nearby village. The woods, mine, mill or factory mean little to him, but he knows what a union is, and he has never heard the word scab. Because of his illiteracy, because of his utter ignorance of the conditions of modern industry, he offers to work for him, which is being exploited to an extent comparable to the extent to which the foreign workers are exploited and oppressed.

That the Negro church, in spite of denominationalism and crudity, is the most powerful factor in the service, serves the active support of all intelligent NEGROes for its sixty years of powerful, independent and constructive, service to community life and progress and for its spike in the number of Negro race, was the conviction expressed by Doctor Johnson, who also responded to the value of the 40,000 NEGRO initiators of the United States and to the CITY OF NEW YORK educational institutions which had Bill of Complaint Enumerates Racial Injustices and Inequalities; De m a n d s Adjustment. Atlanta, Ga., July 12—The New Georgia has arrived in New York. At least a new spirit has come to the fore and it expressed itself at the State-wide Conference of Negro leaders, held here in Taft Hall, in pointed language loud enough to reach the ears. State Between five and six hundred leading colored people, men and women, of Georgia, attended the conference which issued a宣言 of the State is the bolsters with of the commonwealth which is in truth a new Declaration of Independence, a magna charta. While it is probable the truths they are now uttering out loud are the truths their minds all the while the thing which is amazing the white citizenship of the Stat es the boldness with which they speak out in meeting in a manner which a few years ago would have marked them for vengeance. Bishop J. S. Flipper of the A. M. E. Church, presided, while W. A. Bell was elected secretary. The deliberations were thoughtful, patriotic, and tremendously convincing. Big men, middle size men, and little fellows from the humble walks of the floor all touched elbows, wont of the floor in Tatt Hallgard stood up and talked right out in plain speech. FACTS—NOT THEORY Bishop Flipper, in his opening address, declared that the white man, as well as the Negro, in Georgetown confronted with a condition and not a theory, "I am relieved," said Bishop Flipper, "in pleading my case in Chicago or Detroit or any other northern city, while my judge and jury are in the south." The Negro, if he is to stay in the south, asks only equal protection of life and property and equal justice in the courts, he said. This, inspected Bishop Flipper, he is not given now. "Nevertheless," he said, "the remedy is in the hands of the white man, and he could put it into effect before sunrise if he would." SOCIAL EQUALITY BRANDED "BUGAHOO" All speakers at the meeting united in branding "social equality" and "Negro supremacy" as bugaboos created by political demagogues, selfish ends and declared that the black spurned association with those other than whom they recognized as social intimates and equals. It was also urged that the legislature anti-an-lynching law, several speakers stating that they would rather see such a law on the state status, than have it passed the federal government, because they believed the peculiar pride of the state would enforce it better than a Federal law. BILL OF COMPLAINTS The following bill of complaints which the Negro has against Georgia was presented: Lack of credit facilities for Negro farmers, low wages for farm labor, poor housing conditions, both in the cities, and in the rural areas, worsening conditions on plantations arranged by overseers during the absence of the owners, lack of educational facilities for Negro children, poor accommodations for a traveling, inequality in the enforcement of the labor contract law, the repeal of which is asked, and mob violence.

Richmond, Va.; July 13.—Coincident with the announcement by the Interstate Dental Association that their 10th annual meeting will take place in New York, with appleton, Va.; come the information this vigorous young organization now composed of the dentists of some twenty states, is planning to nationalize the association and in the teeth specialists of the country, the organization devoted to the promotion of their particular interests. TENTH ANNIVERSARY AT BUCKROE BEACH. 1923 At the Buckroe Beach meeting, which will be held July 10-13, a specially prepared program is being arranged in commemoration of the Tenth Anniversary of the Association, in which the various phases of progress in dentistry and the particular interest to the profession along educational and scientific lines will be given. THE NEGRO DENTIST APACE WITH ADVANCES From a national group of fifteen or twenty-three decades ago, the Negro dentist as a group has ex-empanded and developed until today he is distributed throughout practically every state in the Union to the number of slightly more than eleven hundred. He caters to both rural and urban population and his service and office equipment is keeping space with the rapid and aggressive strides of the profession. Like the physician and pharmacist, his office as a professional group is such that in many communities he renders as much service to one racial group as the other, a just recognition of his professional merit. Not only is the Negro dentist a professional factor in his respective life, he likewise an active civic force in the development of his racial group. INTERSTATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION —Its GROWTH Like all other professions, dentistry progresses most through the agency of organization. The individual practitioner is stimulated through professional contact and the profession as a whole is advancing. Dental Association is the growth of the Trist-State Dental Association, which was, organized in 1913. From an organization in which dentists from three states were represented, it has developed an association which had at its last meeting in the Beach, Va, a membership of nearly two hundred, and representing more than twenty states. Geographically the Interstate includes the territory from the New England, Midwest, and East, and extending to Chicago and Detroit in the Middle West. DR. J. MERCER G.

If someone stepped on your toe, or you didn't hear the remarks addressed to you, or the telephone rang, you used to say: "Excuse me." Then it became: "Beg your pardon." Now there is coming into general usage the politic phrase, with a rising reflection: "I'm sorry." How do you like it?

Sen- dierwood, who aspirates to be of the United States, has returned from a four months' dowed, and as yet, has not himself on the difficulty. FUTURE AGAINST SOUTHERN POLICY whole attitude of the little of Alabama white politicians at permitting a colored person to be established at the veterinary hospital, is entirely against the known and long established object of segregation. North observers cannot understand strange breakout of southern doger. The Associated Negro knows of a certainly that of healing white people of Alabama, and that determined efforts of this small group of whites to keep out colorors and management in the city. These people have feared the opinions publicly, number of officers, however, and newspapers other, southern states, have not boldly against the foldeleavering to hold a colored horse from the hospital. The Association with absolute knowledge that cruel of the entire opposition is the mere matter of a colored horse; nor is it the holding of Government to a so-called horse is it the fear of the horse that it runs by manning the institution; whole trouble is the insane defeat of this small group of Alabapolitians to have absolute利益 of the more than $1,250,000 horse to run the hostess answer to all of the agitation. The Program Works Woman. the Associated Negro Press can on the highest level most revered authority that the little group of Alabama polls is due to failure — it won't there are many reasons will not work. President Clinton is the first; and Director Clinton is the second. The President and Director gives have denied to give personal at the veterans there is no signs of either of the awakening. The opposition introduced no argument against worth hearing. On the other their attitude has disdain the administration officials to the limit of determination to the limit their program, backed up all governmental resources to the success. The other side of the arsenal, there should develop a state of affairs that it is capable of place n colored inmate in charge, that will be veterans' hospital in Tukwawae, patients are concerned, patients are taken, patients who can be taken there by force, or who may be insane; nurses, a number of trained nurses, a number of whom are already on the ground, coming from the best institutions of the land, and of large experiential resources, to equip their services in the institution; and the entire proposition will die of dry rot, according to the best information obtainable, gathered resources that cannot be questioned. Colored public speakers and colored newspapers of the country are encouraged to discouraging attendance at the hospital under the circumstances aboveted by the little group of Alabama politicians. Their threats and vengeance will be met by cold fire, according to general opinion. The colored people of America, will then go before the government in the most gigantic publicity campaign, the hospital in a location where people will be treated with some degree of justice. In this event, Alabama which has for years been regarded as the South giving a better deal to her hundreds of thousands of colored people than many of her sisters, will fail to a state of beginnings in the vestige of her splendid; law abiding and progressive colored population.

Based upon a production of $500 to the plow, which is very ow, it will be ob- served that Georgia’s loss of wealth from her farms this year Will amount to the sum of more than $27,000,000, and in a decade to more ian: $250,000,000.” “The economic loss, tothe South, of its Ne-|, 70" labor has just begrn- to be felt.
