TWO PREACHERS FOUND DEAD IN BED FROM GAS NORFOLK'S POPULATION White --- 101,577 Colored --- 57,512 Total --- 159,089 Norfolk Journal and Guide 5 CENTS AT ALL NEWS STANDS BALLET GIRLS PLAYING "EVERYWOMAN" AT THE ATTUCKS NEXT MONDAY AND TUESDAY. --- "SOME VAMPS" BLOWOUT FLAME, LEAVE JET OPEN; DEATH RESULTS BLOWOUT FLAME, LEAVE JET OPEN; DEATH RESULTS Unfamiliarity With Modern Home Conveniences Believed To Have Caused Death of Two Carolina Ministers. WERE GUESTS IN HOME OF REV. GARNES Wilmington, N. C.—Believed to have blown out the gas light upon killing for the night Rev. C. V. Richardson and Rev. R. C. Merkitt were found dead of asphixiation in bed at the home of Rev. G. D. Garnes here early Friday morning. The two ministers had been in attendance upon a religious convention and while in the city were the guests of Rev. Garnes. The bodies of the preachers were found in the same bed and gas was issuing from the open gas jet. The tragedy could not be accounted for in no other way than that the dead man had died as a result of familiarity with gas lighting, as indications in the room pointed to the conclusion that instead of turning off the gas to put out the light, they blew it out the same as is done with kerosene lights. This suicidal proceeding might appear exceedingly puerile to people accustomed to the conveniences of a modern city, but as there are many places in the South where the use of gas or domestic water is limited, the supposed act of these ministers has often been committed by people unaccustomed to traveling outside of their immediate ballwick. WOMANWINS LIBERTY ON UNUSUAL CHARGE Henrietta Small Acquitted On Misprison of Felony Count In Police Court. Henrietta Small, who was arrested in connection with the murder of Sam Shorts some weeks ago, and charged with being an accessory to the crime, her won freedom in Police Court, last week. The woman was represented by attorney V. C. Hodge, whose sound presentation of her defense contributed to her acquital. Some weeks ago Sam Shorts was stabbed in Denby street by Martha Bailey. Investigation by the detectives assigned to the case disclosed that the Bailey woman and Shorts had engaged in light in the same location. Small. The commission that the murdered man received his fatal wounds in the Small woman's home, and that she had guilty knowledge of the killing. When arranged in Police Court Henrietta admitted that Sam Shorts and the woman who stabbed him had been in her home a few minutes before the tragedy, and that they had engaged in a fight while there. She said that Sam slapped the woman. Henrietta caused both of them to leave her house. When the two reached the street they renewed the fight which resulted in Sam receiving the fatal stab. At this hearing Justice Spindle continued the case in order to have the Commonwealth's Attorney to appear and prosecute. When the woman was called second time, and after the same testimony had been relied on, the Commonwealth's At- torney asked a dismissal of the accessory to murder charge and preferred a charge of misprison of felony, which in other words means failure to divulge knowledge of a felony having been committed. This charge more nearly covered the case in as much as the defendant contended that she did not see or know that Sam had been killed when informed by the detectives; however, when she was first interviewed concerning the case she asserted that she knew absolutely nothing about it. Attorney Hodges at this hearing asked a continuance on the grounds that since a new charge had been preferred against the defense needed time to defend, the attorneys granted. At the third hearing both of the attorneys submitted authorities bearing on the unusual charge. After hearing the arguments, the Police Justice took the case under advice for four days. At the final hearing he rendered a decision favorable to the defendant. HEAD OF U. O. TENTS CLAIMED BY DEATH Mrs. Sallie L. Bonney Passed Away Following Sudden Attack Early Thursday. Norfolk citizens were shocked early Thursday morning to learn of the death of Mrs. Sallie L. Bonney, which occurred at her residence, 3 Avenue A, at 12:20 Thursday morning, following a sudden attack of illness which seized her about 11:00 o'clock. Mr. Sallie, who has not been in very good condition for the past seven months, returned from New York City Wednesday feeling as well as usual, received some callers and talked with office associates. She was president and secretary of the United Order of Tents and J. R. Giddings Jolliffe Union, and organization of women which was founded just after ennacipation by her mother, Mrs. Bonney. Mrs. Bonney succeeded as president upon the death of Mrs. Lane several years ago. She was also senior superintendent of the Northern, Eastern and Southern divisions of the organization, which is one of the largest and most influential women's fraternal organizations of the country. Bonney was the widow of the late Isaac H. Bonney, and is survived by relatives. Funeral arrangements had not been completed when this report was written. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. GETS WRIT OF ERROR Richmond, Va.—John Mitchell, Jr., former president of the Mechanics Bank, who was sentenced last spring to serve three years in the penitentiary on charges of irregularity and wrong about the bank, was granted writ of error last week by the Supreme Court of Appeals. The granting of the writ means that Mr. Mitchell will get a new hearing which will probably come up in January. In the new hearing the court will be canceled place an interpretation upon the Virginia false entry code, section 416, which has never been interpreted. Mr. Mitchell has waged an unceasing fight since the day of his arrest, strongly protesting his innocence throughout his trial and subsequent conviction. Some of his stunnerest friends are numbered among those depositors heavily in the collapse of the Mechanics bank, and so strong has sentiment favoring him been growing since the bank depositors since his conviction that there are liabilities that an agreement will soon be reached whereby the receivership will be lifted. Subscription Contest Comes To Grand Close Several Thousand New Names Added to Guide's Circulation List; Whole Country Touched By Great Weekly. ADVISORY BOARD COUNTS CHECKS UP THE RESULTS The Journal and Guide mammoth subscription contest which has been in progress for five weeks came to a grand close last Saturday night. Tuesday morning the members of the Advisory Board were summoned, who counted the ballots, checked the votes and announced the winners. A final check over the subscription list shows that several thousand names have been added, many of whom have joined company with the paper for a period of several years. After getting off to a start the campaign swept everything before it. The popularity of the Journal and Guide was a mighty stimulus to the drive. Nortfolk and Virgin- PRIZE WINNERS HUDSON S. H.

The Journal and Guide, already enjoying undisputed prestige in the South, was swept into national prominence thru the great campaign just closed; and at present the paper has a circulation three times what it was less than three years ago. In Norfolk city alone there are now more Guide readers than they were during the period of WWII, and fairly bulged with an overpopulation. The adding of the new names to the mailing list has been an arduous task for the circulation department, but it has been carried on with as little delay as possible, out on its mission week after week unfailingly and prospective subscribers were not afraid, to take long term chances. During the campaign many were the doubtful Thomases, who said it wouldn't be done or couldn't be done. But it has been done, and done without a hitch. To be giving a way a Hudson Supervisor to a bus driver, to startling to be accepted by many, but startling things happen every day, and the alert ones profit by them. After the drive had been in progress for three weeks Dame Rumor stepped in and prophesied that all sorts of things would happen, such as somebody putting in huge sums of money in his pocket to offset the rumor was to frighten the timid contestants, in spite of the fact that the paper advertised that every dollar of money received must have behind it bona-fide subscription stubs. None of these dire prophesies materialized. N one of the predicted huge sums was moved to the big prize was anybody's until one minute to nine o'clock Saturday night. Votes won the prizes, and nothing except votes did the work. The winner simply took advantage of the vote value of long term subscriptions. One twenty year subscription won as many votes as forty one year subscriptions and any contestant who worked after big prospects, able to stand the necessary ones, and paid the value of the game as it should have been. It may have taken treble the time and work to land the big ones, but they were the necessary ones, and paid so handsomely when once landed. Public reading room, schools, libraries, clubs and organizations were the prospects most likely to fall on the long terms. Family connections of the contestants and family connections with their friends also played an important part in landing the prize. The winner of the first prize admits that he had an efficient working organization among his friends. Practically everyone of them gave him substantial subscriptions and secured one for him from among their friends or relatives. Every encouragement and possible assistance was freely given each contestant. The ballots were counted by the mode of award, before whom all records of the campaign were put. The awards were made by them and not a blameless of dishonesty was allowed to creep into the campaign. What The Guide's Circulation Means The great circulation now enjoyed by the Journal and Guide means that its service to those who use its columns to spread the printed message will be almost bounced. Any announcement of any kind published in this paper will come to the attention of about 75,000 people. In no other way can one reach the ears of so many colored people in this section of the country so economically as publishing it in the Journal and Guide. Think of this. A sermon, or death announcement, marriage announcement, notice of concert, entertainment or anything else reaching (Continued on Page Eight) COMMUNITY FUND CRUSADERS OUT AFTER PLEDGES Fifty Captains and Lieutenants Cover the Colored Section of the City For Cash and Pledges In Great Drive. PROSPECTS ARE SAID TO BE ENCOURAGING The Community Chest Fund campaign got off to a start Monday, with encouraging prospects, but admittedly not with the enthusiasm and the immediate results among the colored people that it should have. Reports for the day may have resulted in $178.00 in pledges by the race group. Since then the indications are that a more favorable showing has been made, but it is realized that the returns should average close to a $1,000 a day. There are fifty colored captains, each having from three to four lieutenants*. This squad is covering the colored section of the city. Headquarters have been established on the first floor of the Attucks Theatre Building. Of the Metropolitan Bank Building, planters that will indicate the week's contributions. The solicitors report that they have encountered a great number five and ten cent donors, even two cent contributors. After much publicity, it was surprising to learn that a great many colored people have not yet caught the vision of the Community Chest Fund campaign. The ministers of the city are again asked to discuss this great community endeavor in their churches Sunday, in order that located enthusiasm might be aroused. It is said that the colored people will match the colored citizens' contributions dollar for dollar. That is if the race will raise $6,000 an equal amount will be added by the white people. The Negrees of Atlanta, Ga., are determined to put their share of the Community Chest Fund over in that city 100 percent, according to the Associated Negro Press. They have been stung by the charge that the race does not and will not support its charities. In discussing the Negro in relation to charity a prominent minister was heard to say that he verily believes that God does not bless colored people with large means on account of their inherent selfishness. In view of the fact, that the campaign is held only once a year and one donation at this time fulfills one's obligations to charity for a whole year, the people are asked to donate liberally. They are urged to overlook the pennies, dimes and nickles and give their dollars. The total contributions are to be divided several ways. Five cents will not allow one cent each for the associated members in the fund. The most parsimonious person would easily give more than one cent a year to charity. Friday night, November 23, there will be a meeting of all captains and workers at the Community Center, at which time, Mr. T. Thompson, of the white committee gives an address. A lunch will be served. Tuesday night there will be another meeting of the board final reports will be received. A dinner will be served.

There were no seconds on my mind. It was to be the first for me, if any at all. I set out at once to gather large subscriptions. The one year subscriptions I would of course accept, but I never talked one year to any of my prospects. Knowing the difficulty I'd have to face in securing five and ten year subscriptions, I confined my activities largely to my true and tried friends. I corralled these one year subscriptions all the time and they help me with my promising to reward them with my friendship in some way some time in the future. I gathered these in one at a time, always reporting each week the one and two year listings and reserving my five and ten year subscriptions to turn in at the last moment. I heard all sorts of rumors about how some of the contestants had planned to put in from four to five hundred dollars to win. I analyzed these rumors very carefully, but decided that I didn't believe these people had the nerve to do it, in as much as it would be taking a big chance with one's personal funds. Others talked, and I worked. Several of my friends gave me ten year subscriptions. I had figured out that I would be able it was plain that while ten one year subscriptions would have a vote value of 100,000, one ten year subscription had a vote value of 600,000, six times as great for the same amount of money. I cannot claim that I actually had great salesman ability, for I realize that it was my friendship that sold most of the big subscriptions I obtained. I actually secured one long term subscription a half hour before the contest. This succeeded in keeping out of my sight until that hour, when I met him on the street and he came across. Again, the paper had advertised that only bona-fide subscriptions would be accepted. To my mind this killed the rumor of some one trying to buy the car. But this same rumor contributed to my success, because I reasoned that many contestants, to make my chances bitter, and I verily believe it did. I thank my loyal friends who contributed to my success. I thank the Journal and Guide for the fine Hudson Super-Six Coach, I advise everyone to take rumor too seriously. It is costly.

THOUSANDS TURN OUT TO GREET SHAW-LINCOLN Enthusiasm Rife Among Great Concourse of Spectators Gathered at League Park. VIRTUALLY A HOLIDAY DECLARED IN NORPOLK The most colorful scene ever witnessed in the annually of local sports among the colored race was presented in League Park Monday afternoon when approximately 4,000 football fans, sport lovers and society promenaders disregarded the biting November wind and the chilly atmosphere occasioned by a low ranging of the cultural gun, and watched the "Lions" of Lincoln University virtually devour the courageous fighting machine of Shaw University, of Raleigh. Ethusiasm manifested itself locally as early as Friday afternoon when Washingtonians began to arrive in the city enroute to Hampton Institute to witness the Howard University "Bisons" administer to the sturdy "Seasiders" on Armeniastrong Field and the Hundreds of faus journeyed over to the peninsula from Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Newport News to see what promised to be the most sanguinary gridiron encounter ever staged on Hampton's campus. The big crowd returned to the city football wild which was accentuated by the arrival of the 'SHIPSTUFF' PUZZLES COURT AND OFFICERS Attorney David H. Edwards Gives Prohibition Men Liberal Education. Because two Federal prohibition enforcement officers, had no knowledge what was "shipstuff" Jetter Bailey of Carrollton, Va. ante-brute before Judge Lawrence Groener in the federal district court Monday, Nov. 12, for alleged violation of the Volstead law, won his freedom. Bailey was represented by attorney David H. Edwards, who made such liberal use of the word "shipstuff" in cross examining the federal officers that even Judge Groener finally interrupted the lawyer and asked, "Eward's shipstuff?" The attorney wisely informed the court that "shipstuff" is a hog ration made of a mixture of water, water and molasses. Thus everyone in the courtroom innately concluded that attorney Edwards obtained his wonderful knowledge of this puzzling word from early years around the pigsty, somewhere in the backwalls: According to testimony adduced at the trial two probationes accused of the murder and the murders of Jeter Bailey in Carrollton, Va. some time during 1921, and found what they claimed to have been 80 gallons of whiskey mash in two barrels, two used oil cans and an oil stove. The officers concluded that the stove and mash were used in whiskey. For some reason Bailey was not arrested until September of this year, when he was inked into custody on a charge of violating the Volunteer act. At the trial Monday witnesses for the defense testified to Mr. Murmily, one of whom was beaten. (Continued on Page Five.) WANTS MONEY TO LEND ON FIRST AND Second mortgages, in amounts from $200 up.

LOST Lost a Gold Medal, Saturday night A TESTIMONIAL This testimonial given voluntarily and without solicitation is evidence of our sincere appreciation and commendation of the service rendered our family by undertaker J. A. Brown, Calvert and Chicazola street, upon the death of our son, Mr. Brown. Thursday morning, November 15, we were bereft of our child and his passing almost bewildered us with grief. It was our desire to put him away as decretely as possible, yet we were not in a position to desgregate economy. We called in undertaker Brown, and from that moment we had no further inconvenience in connection with the child's burial. Mr. Brown submitted us reasonable figures which we accepted, he then gave special attention to every little detail that presented itself; and we admit that at times we were somewhat fastidious, but not one to carry out our instructions to the letter and even to offer service and advice that made the funeral of a loved one as pleasant and as smooth as it could possibly have been made. Arrangements had been made for the culogy to be held ten miles out in the country and nine miles in and await a certain hour for the arrival of the body. No one was kept waiting beyond the appointed time, which evidences punctuality and fine service. Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

O. the breadth and length and the height and the height of Christ's meaning and great commission."—Barrett Mongeon—"the authority of the new commission sent by Christ; of operation—the world; of his disciples into the world; main commission for which he the love and truth of McLoughlin. The Great Commission—Matt. 28: 10 "of our religion is misperceived, world embracing; to exist if it disintergrated the words of its Founder—Max missionaries have a three-to perform; make disciples, care and women into the kingdom, to teach them the Kingdom. tips will make a way for itself if its biestrength opponents.

I will tell you News And Church Activities what the English Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal sat at the close of the nineteenth century. In my judgment Christian missionaries have done more lasting good to the people of India than all other agencies combined." —Henry Dyke. These disciples sent by God to undertake the most sublimate task, evangelization of the nations, were not to be alone in this wide谱 mission. God, who sent them, with them to guide and protect them. "This promise" includes more than his mere presence. When we urge men to a dangerous and difficult undertaking and say, "We will be with you," we promise them our co-operation and support with his people to help them and protect them. The promise is limited only by the end of the world." —McCarvey. III. The Promise of Power.—Acts 1:6-8. "How little did Caspian or Pilate dream at the crucifixion of Christ of the power that would go forth through all the ages from that summative man, who lay under their hands! How little did Lox X and Theodore make up her era, and start a movement that would never stop! Who thought a little before the French Revolution, unless some dreamer regarded as wild, that all the throne of Europe would be shaken, or that a man of Corsica would be under the foot under his foot?" — Theodore D. Woolsey. The disciples who were to evangelize the nation needed some special fitness and preparation to do effectively and efficiently this sublime work. These heroes of the gospel went to witness for Christ as well as proclaim the good news of Christ upon them and in them would specially qualify them for the world-wide task. "The charity that converts the world is a charity that begins at home, begins, but does not end there. Unless our love of such a kind as greatly to disturb a godless neighborhood at home, it will not set on fire a distant continent or cause it to be destroyed as it passes by. The command of the Lord is still, the rule for his people beginning at Jerusalem, but not ending till we are the uppermost part of the earth." (Arnot.) BRIGGSOGRAMS "We cannot believe in God ourselves without believing in him for the world."—Brooks Every Christian has been divinely called to help save the world. Missions are not a phase of the church's work, but it is the only work of the church of the church. Effective preaching and witnessing for Christ can be done only by and with the help of the Holy Spirit. The evangelization of the nation is the greatest task beneath the sun. ELZABETI CITY, N. C.

C. M. Long proclaimed form the gospel according to John 17 chap. 13-20 verses on the subject: "Christ's Prayer for His Disciples", at the Bank Street Church Sunday morning. Many find observations were made about the leading were: The passage quoted are among the most inspiring and illuminating found in the Bible—two principal thoughts appear emphasized in this prayer, namely, Christ's confidence in the other leaders, while the other centers around Christ himself. Reason for the prayer—that the Father and Son may be glorified. At the conclusion of the prayer, the Saviour makes summary of how well his task has been performed, without evidence made by the apostle Paul when he was about to be offered up. The physical man was prayed for, since Christ's power could be shown in winning back back nails, should they be supplanted the Father for the unity of the church as he prayed that the disciples might be one with the Father and Son. The curse of the church today is found in its division. Whether we work with Christ should carry with us the spirit of devotion for the winning of souls for Christ. In his prayer Christ prayed not "If It Uses Gas buildings Are Gasteam Heating Comfort "GASTEAM" radiators are used wherever heat is needed; one or more can be used to advantage in any house to supplement any regular house heating system; in some cases Sunday night, November 25th at 7:30, St. Joseph Church, Queen St., near Monticello Ave, will visit a beautiful sight. To a Class of 150 men, women and children the Right Rev. D. J. O'Connell D. D., Bishop of the Catholic, D. D., these will tell the account of the agreement of Confirmation Catholics believe that their Bishops (the episcopi of the New Testament) are the successors of the Apostles, and have the commission of Christ to the Apostles: "As the Father hath sent me, I also send you" (St. John XX-21). Catholics further maintain in strength of their sacrament of Confirmation that the apostles of God received the word of the moment; and they give as a proof a quotation from The Acts of the Apostles, eight chapter from the fourteenth to the seventeenth verses: "Now when the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent, to the Peter and John. Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but them, that they might receive the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they held their hands, upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost." And, therefore, when Catholics receive the sacrament of Confirmation, they believe, that through the imposition of hands of the Bishop they receive the Holy Ghost to enable them to be firm and perfect Christians and soldiers of Christ. Hence Sunday night will be a paired invitation to Joseph's. Father Warren, the pastor, extends a cordial invitation to all to come to the services. ST. PETER'S TABERNACLE ST.

All Saturday night, Sunday and Monday morning streamers of orange and blue and crimson and grey were seen up and down the principal streets hanging from the lapels of rooters for both teams. Stores Crowded From Monday morning until a half hour before the game the five and ten cent stores worked double forces at their robbon counters. The rush for the gay colors was overwhelming and the merry crowd poured from the stores into the streets with miniature megaphones, horns, rattlers and every conceivable noise making instrument that could be procured. A few hours earlier railroads entering the city from the Old-North State had dumped their loads of excursionists into Norfolk—Shaw's valient band of sympathizers composed of alumni, and some of the most prominent Negro men and women in the state. The student body also greatly added to this aggregation. Naturally Shaw had more home town followers than Lincoln, on account of the nearness of Raleigh to Norfolk, but before the game got well under way, Lin- coln sympathizers practically filled the side of the grandstand, reserved for them and greatly outnumbered the Carolina boosters. The Lions were the first to take the field. Those stalwart athletes in blue sweaters and expensive woolen blankets presented as finer specimens of physical manhood as anyone would desire to look upon. They had arrived in the South to win the game and that little story was plainly inscribed on the countenance of each of them. The army of spectators filed in the park in an unceasing tramp, each person taking, the Lincoln grandstand inquiring, "where is Whirlwind Johnson, show me Byrd; is that Crudup?" The Shaw aggregation had not put in an appearance and rumor had it that the Raleigh train had been delayed. But before dame rumor could dampen the ardor plainly evident among the crowd, the boys in crimson trotted on the field. Lusty cheers went up from the Carolina grandstand. In a few minutes more the field was cleared and the conflict was on. A glance in both grandstands showed that the promoters of the contest had invested well, as no less than four thousand beaming and eager faces were pointed toward the gridiron—and they had deposited one dollar each at the park gate for the privilege. The game itself may, have been considered one-sided in view of the big score pilled up by the Northeners, but even at that the boys SPECIAL SALE OF WINTER SHOES 455 Church St. FLEMINGS Corner Charlotte Street Black and Tan, English and wide toe, regular price $2.50 to $4.00, Special now— Heavy Tan Cow Hide, Guaranteed Solid Leather and Waterproof; White Rawhide Leather, Guaranteed Solid Leather and Waterproof: Black Tough Hide Leather, Guaranteed Solid Leather and Waterproof; Heavy Double Sole, full stock upper Leather. $2.50 value $3.00 value $3.50 value $4.00 value $1.95 $2.45 $2.95 $3.45 $3.50 value $4.00 value $4.50 value $5.00 value $2.45 $2.95 $3.45 $3.9 All Men's Dress Shoes Cut Away Down for This Sale $4.50 Tan Shoes, $3.45 $5.00 Tan Shoes, $3.95 All $6.00 Shoes, $4.45 Tan, Brown, Black and Grey, Fifteen Different Styles, High and Low Heels, $5.00 value— from the Tarheel state played game enough and put on such fine an exhibition of true sportmanship that every minute of play was intensely interesting. Aside from what it might get out of the game, the crowd was out for pleasure and meant to have it. The royal rooters provided the fun. A much used and abused mule, as stubborn and as hard-headed as any of its clan, was decorated in a motley of colors and driven around the park between halves being ridden by as many rooters as could possibly hang on his back from-ears to tin of the tail. One man lead him: His name was Zev. Music galore was furnished by St. Joseph's High School Band. These lusty lunged youngsters blared out mixtures of all grades and classes of music to the great delight of the big crowd. In the grandest dame fashion presented itself in resplendent array. Miladies garbed in the latest Parison and New York designs of skirts, coats and millinery were as much attraction as the football rame. Heavy ulsters, suctioning derbys and the designers' cutest cut in sack suits marked society's top-notchers among the male sex. Porsons prominent in every walk of life gathered in League Park Monday afternoon, Preachers, Lawyers, doctors, business men, sports and plain folk elbowed together in the great concourse of spectators. More than a 150 automobiles parken front of the park gates. At night both teams and their followers were entertained at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden and at Norfolk Auditorium in a grand social climax to a most eventful day in footballdom.

GOV.'S PARDON Colored Man Pardoned While Governor Russell Was Out of State Wins Permanent Freedom on Court Decision. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 17—In the celebrated case involving Gov. Russell of this state, Walter Cleveland a Negro convict, and Lieutenant-governor Castcel, in which the lieutenant-governor took the liberty of pardoning Cleveland from the penitentiary while Russell was absent in Memphis, Tennessee, at a football game, the supreme court of the state decided against the governor, holding that the law relative, to the function of the governor was meant, to include any absence from the state as an absence as construed by such law, and that in issuing the pardon, Castcel was acting in his own rights. Russell scampered back to the state when he received news that Castcel had pardoned the Negro and had Cleveland returned to jail. The latter's attorney appealed the case with the result above. Gov. Russell's experiences as chief executive of the state have had a good deal of the sensational connected with them. Not long ago he was sued by a former stenographer and secretary who charged he betrayed her.

"Shipstuff" Puzzles Court and Officers master Joseph Jordan, who asserted that he had known the defendant for 12 years and had never known the man to be involved in any court trouble before. Mr. Bailey, testifying in his own behalf, told the court, that what the officers found on his place was not whiskey mash but "shipstuff," ration he had prepared for his hogs. He said that being a apple he used the oil stove for co-incidence in warming it, it was easy to light with little effort. He told the证据, that on account of being invalid by rheumatism he gave, his sow to a Mr. William Thomas, who in turn promised him a pair of her offspring when he should recover sufficiently to attend his farm. The day before the officers' visit, he averred, he had prepared hog ration preparatory to going after the pigs. He was, away on this errand when the prohibition men went to his 'place', he said.

The lawyer continued to stress this point, until he forced the officers to admit that they could not swear that: what they found in the barrels on Bailey's place was not "shipstuff". They held to their contention that it was corn-meal mash, yet they could not swear about "shipstuff", because they didn't know anything about hogs, nor about what hogs thrive on. Judge Groner, after obtaining liberal education in pig parlance, finally admitted that he didn't see anything in the case. He dismissed it on the grounds that none of the statutes withitness knew anything about "shipstuff". The case was prosecuted by assistant United States District Attorney Lester Parsons. SPORTS AMUSEMENTS HOWARD AND LINCOLN TRIUMPH OVER HAMPTON AND SHAW ur Thousand Spectators Lincoln U. Rout'Shaw Approximately 4,000 football enthusiasts gathered at League Park Monday afternoon to witness the intersectional clash between Lincoln University, of Chester, Pa., Columbia University, of Columbia, and Lincoln University, of Lincoln, only for the beginning, for after the five minutes of play it developed into a rout, the Lincoln clan practically annihilating the courageous Carolinians. At the final point the Pennsylvania tribe had win a score of 48 to 0; but even this this tally might indicate a oneided game, it by no means took the thrills out of the contest. Shaw, eleven, although outplayed outgone themselves, was not at all outspoken in true sportmanship. It was their dogged stick-to-it-veins and clean playing against a heavier and better trained team that won for them the admiration of the spectators, even if this was not enough to win the game. Selum is there seen a team going down and under the merelite holdout of Lincoln University, the last with as grim determination as that exhibited by the man of Raleigh at League Park holiday afternoon. the mighty "Whirwind" Johnson and tail-fall back of the Lincoln aggregation, whose whirlwind tactics were submerged at institute, West Virginia and at Baltimore by Hampton and who was not much in cyclone action against the sturdy opposition. He met this season, and was appointed in all former-fury. Johnson with his flowing in the stiff November breeze, was a marvel. At end running, line plunging, passing and receiving passes he was a terror to behold. But Johnson was for the whole Lincoln team. There was Ordup, Byrd, Morgan, Brown, Nester, S. L. Johnson, Carter, indexter, Brown, Myers and the machine like a smooth greased machine. Every minute of play. Morgan center was equal to a wedge breezing thru the line. In fact, man in the lineup played both in perfect unison and the drill for the victory goes not to man, but to Lincoln University's football team. In the second half "Whirwind" Johnson brought the spectators to their feet when he got way to a touchdown in a speeched fall, fall, but regain his feet less than a second and with the collection of a brilliant interference, not away to a flash. Mitchell, quarter back, was easy the outstanding star for Shaw. he played a veteran's game, but he dematimates showed weakness at offset his brilliant performance. The Tar Heels played a bet- offensive than defensive game. line plunging they were about to their adversaries, but on to defensive they were decidedly weaker. Stewart, Shaw, cen- tails a star in the Carolina hawks numbered by players. Pierce, and the others played a good game, but superior weight and supper skill submerged their effec- tors.

Brown bishaw R. H. Taylor Faylor R. B. W. Johnson In a write-up of the Armstrong High School of Washington, D. C., and the Booker C.

We say inadvertently, because it is the policy of this page to never indulge the publishing of charges and counter-charges relative to sports, and especially those unsubstantiated. The officials against whom the allegation of bias was made has sent to the paper, quite a lengthy statement in refutation of the charges and somewhat irked with bitterness, similar to that, he claims was disliked against him, and that he himself did not受损 his reply. He stiffens to this official thin paper, is publishing the substance of his reply, after which the columns will close again further extension of his controversy. The statement follows. Edition ofays that the officials deserved the respect they that Norfolk reserves any more first name, delibrate false. It is unacceptable that any one should make such a statement, although a poor sport and a bad loser might stoop to such a trick. In the case of interference by A. T. S. with B. T.'s pass the facts are B. T. made a pass which the referee made a pass which the referee ruled as incomplete. Capt. West claimed: interference but admitted that the Armstrong player had hit the ball. Of course this admission proved him wrong, yet they claimed unfairness, and the Norfolk player claiming himself must judge to foot all matters pertaining to foot-ice matters that this decision was wrong. Such a claim is contrary to the rules. The claim that I as ampire interfered with a Norfolk player would be amusing were it not for the seriousness of the charge: What really happened 'is this; a ball was fumled out of bounds after the whistle had blown. Norfolk recovered but the referee ruled that it was Armstrong's ball. Captain West instead of attending to the game tried to insist that I should have the referee change his decision. A play took place which West could easily have stopped. He said that the play should be dis-allowed. While insisting on the same thing happened again. He and Norfolk agreed because (West) did not have sense enough to attend to the game. I therefore interfered with him, in his attempt to play, (so Norfolk says). The only decision which I as ump gave against Norfolk was one involving interference with the reception of a forward pass. A. M. T. S. made a forward pass. A Norfolk player tried to cover but knocked the Armstrong player to the ground with out attempting to secure the ball. Norfolk Captain claimed that it was not a foul, because it was not done intentionally. That however prevented it from being a foul. I notice that a foul finds no fault with this the only decision I gave against Norfolk, yet the honorable coach of B. T. W. S. claims that I am incompetent as an official and that I was maliciously unfair. Without a doubt Norfolk had the better team and should have won the game. They failed to take advantage of the opportunities they had to score. If they had played more foot-ball and spent less time baiting officials, they could easily have won. The score was a favor of Norfolk, but by foolish playing Armstrong allowed to intercept a forward pass for to touch downs which they would not have otherwise made. Debating is a very commendable school activity but it has no place on the foot-ball field and a team should not be encouraged or allowed to dispute every decision made. A coach would do well to teach the rules to the team as well as developing a few plays. It takes a mighty poor sport and a very hard loser to stoop low as to make wholesale charges of dishonesty and unfair practice on the part of every one, except himself because he has lost a game. To lose a game is no disgrace, but it is a disgrace to lose and inhibit the spirit as inspired the article presenting such absurd and redemptive mis-statements of facts. It is poor, cheap attempt to alleviate the bitterness of spirit. caused by the loss of the game, by making such an attack against those who in no way contributed to the defeat. Your's C. L.

I. eleven in a fiercely contested grudge, and by the score of 7-0, adding another victim to her list of wins and keeping up her record of not having been scored against this season. The game was staged before a colorful and picturesque crowd; a feature event of Petersburg's Home-Coming Day, and a real grid classic. Thousands of spirited fans packed the McKinley stadium for the game, which was featured by plenty of spectacular plays, novel formation, daring line plunges and fleet, end running. Young Jimmy Shields covered himself with glory before his "home folks," appearing in Fetzer's time as a university "regular." "Bob" Miller Union's superman on the line was in the game all the way; Derritt was a good general; Moton hit the line hard and paved the way for a touchdown; Boffman gained much yardage and Corrothers was at the top of his form. Acting Capt. Barksdale, playing his initial center, performed admirably for the Unionites. Virginia Normal had some outstanding luminaires in the persons of Ross, who plunged and skirted desperately; Coles, who barked signals, played well and kicked hard.

Howard got her first touchdown through recovering a tumble and the brilliant open field timing of Doneghy, the fumbles in the costly and accounted for the defeat. Airplane Drops Pigskin The game started immediately after the airplane had circled the field and dropped the pigskin. Amid顾敬 cheers Howard kicked to Hampton's 45-yard line and recovered the ball. Doneghy and Peyton made first downs. On the next play "Jimmie" Jones got Doneghy for a loss of 5 yards. A lateral pass netted it, the defensive pickoff jacob, the 155-pound quarter, intercepted a Howard pass and ran 35 yards before he was downed. Hardwick hit for three yards. On the next play Hampton fumbled and Howard recovered on Hampton's 45-yard line. Howard failed to gain consistently and kicked after T. Coleman threw Doneghy for a 3-yard loss. Hampton received it, on her 26-yard Williams, hit the defensive fullback, hit the line for a good 5 yards. On the next play, however, Hampton elected to kick and punted the ball to Howard's 29 yard line. Doneghy ran through open field for 15 yards and on the next down got 4 yards. Contee hit for 3 yards and followed with a first down to succeed it, scoring 7 yards. Jimmie" Jones downed) Doneghy for a loss on the next play. Doneghy kicked to Hampton's 33-yard line. Howard Makes Touchdown Both teams staged a punting duel with Gunn of Hampton far out-kicking Doneghy of Howard. Long of Howard got a funnel fungus and hit Hampton's 17- yard line. On the next play Doneghy the end for Howard's first touchdown. The extra point was made "by drip-kick route" by Doneghy. Hampton Scores Hampton kicked to Howard's 45-yard line. Williams of Hampton covered the ball. The referee decided that the ball must be kicked again, because it was ruled that the ball had not gone 10 yards. Hampton kicked off again, and after no consistent gains, Howard smashed the line for 29-yard gain. "Bulldog" Williams of Hampton smashed the line for 29-yard gain. Howard was penalized 15 yards on the next play for roughness. Hargrove was substituted for Hardwick. Williams reeled off 4 yards. Hampton elected to kick after the next few plays and Howard got the ball on her 15-yard line and signalled a fair catch. Howard kicked to Hampton's 35-yard line. Jacobs was tackled after the ball on his 15-yard line. Howard was penalized 5 yards. A pass from Hargrove to Gunn netted 4 yards. Howard was again penalized 15 and Hargrove hit the line for a first down and Hampton began showing her famous fighting attack. A perfectly executed pass from Hargrove to Jacobs netted Hampton her second point. Hargrove's extra point. Doneghy's Superb Play. Howard's second touchdown came in the second half as a result of the brilliant playing of Doneghy and a line-rush by Blackmon for a touchdown. The trial for extra point failed. Howard's third touchdown was the result of Doneghy's superb He. He ran 25 yards through an open field and followed up with a touchdown. Hampton lacked the fighting spirit that has been characteristic of her. other contests this season. This fact, added to the costly fun, has made the team the defeat. Doneghy, Long, and Peyton starred for Howard. Officials: G. N. Lew (Mass Ag, referee; H. G. Douglass (Harvard) umpire; and B. Washington (Howard), head linesman.

The licking St. Paul gave the illustrious visitors today is the most disastrous defeat the Carolinians have met at the hands of the Virginians. The team which St. Paul piled up a score of "three score and ten" and one points, bewildered, battered, bruised, crushed, outgusted, outplayed and outmaneuvered today showed nothing indicative of the Old North State lads who just missed the game. The brilliant and offspring attacks ever in Railroad, and held the clawing Tigers to a 12 to 6 victory, St. Augustine was sunny, alert and apparently confident preceding the kick-off; but St Paul's early touchdown upset their morale. The locals' fierce onslaught from Douglas celebrated shift formation, their superior defense caused the aggressive Tigers to Tarahuna four half minutes of battles. From then on St. Paul was Czar of the rectangle. St. Aug. never got within scoring distance. St. Aug. uncovered two thrilling plays, but they did not result in any notable gains. Their assortment of plays were interesting, merely from a standpoint of relieving motion, but very often they did not serve that purpose because in many instances St. Paul nipped the defensive tactics in the but before the offensive tactics in the formation. On a whole St. Augustine's playing was mediocre, Manning and Burton were by far the visitors' mainstay and 'outstanding players. Their tackling was good and they performed stoically from start to finish. The St. Paul-Union molee at Dimbond on Saturday promises to be a hectic struggle from the kickout to the final gong. It is the only G. I. A. A-game scheduled for the day, and it will be the stellar Neptunidron attraction of the day. This game probably hinges on State and the C. I. A. A. 1923 championship. we're going to be a brilliant and amazing game. St. Paul and Union will be put to a supreme test, but we'll have predictions — are that math machines, the threes of defeat and in the shadows of victory. The strategy is the ability of the youngsters, will be significant, and their exhibi- tion will remain to enthail, and bring them to success. CAPTAIN, AND FULLBACK 1910 RIGHT TACKLE A COLEMAN Dominien Capitol City to watch the tibular game on Saturday afternoon. Coach Martin's powerful, speedy, and alert eleven will enter the fray with a cian sheet, bent on averaging last year's defeat at the hands of St. Paul. The Panthers are confident of the triumph, nevertheless, they are not underestimating the strength and fighting spirit of the Tigers. They expect a hard battle, and realize that the Lawrenceville team is one of the most formidable rivals on their slate. Coach Douglass will send in a heavy and well-trained machine against Union. Not one injury appears on the varsity list. He is banking his great hopes on his celebration and perfect shift from which he will instruct his picture team thirteen plays. He also order six players for his TAH and DW teams. The Tigers, too, are jubilant, but they are not expecting an easy time, far from it, but they anticipate the fight of their career. A stalwart and aggressive line, and a feely, experienced and treacherous quartet of backs will face Union when "Dock" Morrison, et al, give the signal on Saturday. St. Paul and Virginia Normal will meet on the gridiron December 5th at the Virginia League Park, McKenzie St. Petersburg. Those old rivals have not played against each other since 1920. The Union Street High School of Hampton defeated the Booker T. Washington football squad in a hard fought and interesting game last week. The score was 6-0. The team work of the Educators was commendable, but they were over confident. The most interesting feat of the game was Booker T. stonewall holding the e Hampton lads to four downs within 2 yards of their own goal, thus preventing another touchdown. The Educators are undergoing strenuous work-outs this week, parental to the great asst. phil Norcom High School of Portsmouth November 26, 2014 Norfolk League Park.

Games may come and games may go, teams may win and teams may lose, but all is lost sight of and forgotten when on the Lincoln course in an annual clash of eight victories to her credit against Howard's five, is anxious to annex the ninth, and Coach Young is particularly anxious to win this game because of the effect it will have upon his leadership. All plays and formations which have been developed on entirely disjointed and everything will be brand new for Howard. The board of strategy now consists of Coach Young, Asst. Coach William Young and Morgan Gardner. Every effort will now be directed towards bolstering up the points which have proven weak during the season. Defensively, Lincoln has proven superior to any of the other shows met in the tournament and tinchons more than twice as many first downs as West Virginia, Hampton and St. Paul combined, but the coaches are far from being satisfied with the offensive play. There has been a lack of cohesion in the back field, and the men have failed to take advantage of the openings made by the lion men. Lincoln, this year, has been successful. Pursue or a law, and it is to improve the offensive game that the coaches are directing their attention. This line-up is not entirely certain for the back field. Goodman is the biggest man in the back field, and is sure to make his distance through the line, but is not so certain for long runs. "Putts" Brown and Pillit will probably get a show on one side of the back field, but this is not certain. "Bill" Taylor has shown up well at left half, but ewing to injuries received in the St. Louis game, he may be held back. Captain Johnson has not entirely covered from the injury received in the Hampshire game, but will pro- Byrd will: of course, pilot the team. In many respects he is better than the famous McLean, but does not always show the same judgement in selecting his plays. The brilliant "Ball" Taylor is ready to replace him if anything happens. Lancaster is certain of a place at left end. If he fails, at left hook, although a likelihood is that, he may be called to full back as he was two years ago. Either Poindexter or Walls will be at left guard, and Morgan will hold down the pivot position. "Babe" Carter will be at right guard and S. L. Johnson or Wilson will be at right tackle. The reliable Crudup will be on right end. Lee is the best kicker on the squad, but does not seem to have been seasoned enough to hold the full back position permanently. Crudup will be called Crudup when kicking is necessary. Hogans can go in at either center or tackle and Hogans will substitute at either end or tackle. Stratton and Ward will be ready to play either right or left half back if their services are needed. The probable line-up for the Howard game will be as follows: From left to right—Lancaster, Coston, Poindexter, Morgan, Carter, S. L. Johnson, Crudup, Byrd, Captain Johnson, Taylor, Goodman. The officials for the game will be: Referee, Mr. Gibson, Springfield "Y"; "Y"; Bullock, Dartmouth; Field judge, Mr Washington, Oberlin; headlinesman, Mr. Douglass, Harvard. Somebody is going to undertake to pick an all star foot ball team pretty soon and I would like to give a few names to them. I would admit any team, whether I pick it or not, must include Gunn, of Hampton, Donehyne and Peyton of Howard. I'll give someone also a chance to pick the rest.

"EVERYWOMAN" CAST PERFECTED Mrs. Mary Ross Dorsey, who will present the great five-act puprality drama "Everywoman" with a local cast at the Attacks Theatre, Monday and Tuesday night, will touch the perfection toucher in the cast which has been under her training for the past three weeks. On account of Madame Dorset heralded successes in the big cities of the country interest in the production of the play here is intense, and the sale of tickets so far indicate that the big auditorium of the theatre will have eager crowds Monday and Tuesday night. Following the Hampton performance, writing in the Southern Workman, Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute said: "The play is wonderfully impressive, and Mrs. Dorset is a remarkable actress, and Youth Beauty, Modesty, Truth, Nobody and Wealth deserve honorable mention." Bishen W. Sammann Brooks, formerly of Baltimore, now of West Africa, said: "It is a powerful sermon in disguise."

All bids were rejected on account of the inability of the bidders and the Housing Corporation to agree on the terms of sale, according to announcements. The deadlock is said to have issued out of the demand by the Government that the purchasers turn over to the city of Portsmouth without charge the school building and the public utilities. The bidders agreed, it is said, to allow the sewers to revert to the city absolutely free, but refused to include the school building in the proposal. Another hitch resulted in the prospective purchaser's refusal to agree to 40 per cent reduction in the original sale price to all purchasers of homes on the project who have held their contracts intact from the day of execution as stipulated in the sale terms presented by the Housing Corporation to the highest bidder.

Reduction of Southern Representation In Conventions Washington, D. C., Nov. 12—The Republican National Committee will meet here on December 11 and 12 for purpose of selecting a prize and fixing a time for the convening of the Republican National Convention next year. An attempt will be made by southern members to have the action of the committee on the reduction of representation in national conventions rescinded. A hearing on this question will be had before a sub-committee two or three days prior to the meeting of the full committee. This sub-committee will make its recommendations, and the action of the National Committee will be final as there will be their meeting unit for the delegates to the National Convention are chosen. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgetown pin member of the committee, is depended upon to lead the fight for a restoration to t chSouth of its delegate strength. A poll of the members of the National Committee shows a majority in favor of the cut. The northern and eastern members are almost solidly for it. A few western members are opposed to it on the ground that their states are denied their proper apportionment. They would further reduce southern representation. Several southern states plan to send delegations to protest against the cut. A large attendance of colored people has been assembled. A number of them will appear before the sub-committee and give their views. ```markdown ``` You cannot send your friends a more appropriate expression of the Christmas Spirit than a beautifully designed and worded Greeting Card.

New York, Nov. 16—The Tuberculosis death rate among Negroes in the United States is rapidly declining, according to figures supplied by the National Tuberculosis Center. In 1910, the death rate from tuberculosis among colored people, throughout the United States was 449.5 per, 100,000 population. In 1917, the last year for which the census figures available, the rate had declined, is supplied by the Metropolitan Insurance Company indicate a similar decline. The reasons for this decline are found by the National Tuberculosis Association to lie in the rapid development of organized health work among colored people throughout the United States. Where ten years ago, there was little of this activity, today most of the Southern States have sanatoria, nurses, clinics or other facilities for colored patients. Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina and Georgia have sanatoria for tuberculosis. Training of colored public health nurses, as at the Henry Phipps Institute, of Philadelphia, has contributed to the prevention of the disease. It is further pointed out by the Tuberculosis Association, which at a spread of better standards of living among colored people of the country, brought about through better education, better training, better wages and housing has influenced the declining death and cooperation between death and organized organizations, particularly in Southern States, is expected to become a powerful influence in reducing the mortality from tuberculosis among Negroes, whose death rate in many parts of the country is still two and three times that of the whites.

OBSERVANCE OF RACE RELATIONS SUNDAY Cooperation of A11 Church Groups is Asked by Federal Council Commission. The Federal Council Commission on the Church and Race Relations in asked that February 10,1924, be observed in all churches of the country, white and colored, as Race Relations Sunday. Since this object holds so vital a place just now in the effort to make Christianity a religion for all people, every pulpit at least one sermon a year might well be devoted to it, and also one program in every Sunday School, Young People's Society and other religious group. In 1923 the day was observed in a great many churches. It is hoped that 1924 its obsequence may be made with great efficiency. The results for good, it is believed, would be immeasurable. The Commission is publishing a booklet suggesting programs, topics and materials suited to the occasion. It is not too early for everyone interested, whether pastor, missionary, missionary or young people's worker, to write for further information to the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City. Christianity as has been so often said, has the only answer to all humanity's problem, but the problems are diligently sought and applied. And this can be done only through the efforts of Christian leaders working along practical lines like that suggested above. Hampton Letter Men to Form Varsity Club.

P. that 59 of the 67 colored farmers sentenced to life and long term imprisonment have been freed. It is expected that the remaining 8 men, for whom writs of habeas corpus have been applied, will soon be released. In connection with this announcement, the N. A. A. C. P. through its Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, issued the following statement: "The wild statements of a plotted insurrection by Negro farmers of Arkansas, have now been disproved by four years of court action. The rumors, spread throughout the Nation by the press, that Negroes were organized to massacre whites, are shown to have been without foundation. It should be remembered that although 12 Negroes were sentenced to death, and 67 to long terms of imprisonment, not one white man was punished in connection with these disorders in which hundreds of Negroes ngt their desiries. All of the Negroes have been released, we hope and expect. That is the best answer to the kind of law and indulged in by the white people of Arkansas." WINDOW CARDS HERALDS POSTERS—HANDBILLS Etc.

Lacey Little was charged with obtaining money under false pretence. A youth about 16 years old, who resides at 311 Cumberland St., was the complaining witness. He testified that he was a stranger in the city, having been here only three months. He said that lacey Little met him Saturday morning and offered to get him a job in the Pullman service for five dollars. He paid the money to the job officer, who received the affair to his brother-in-law, who caused Lacey's arrest. The defendant stoutly denied that he intended to defraud the buy. As there were no corroborating witnesses, the case was dismissed. Annie Williams was called to the bar on a charge of drunkness. The only evidence needed to convict her was her appearance, because Annie was still in the "wind" when she stumbled up to the bar. A fine of $5.00 and costs sent her back to the pan to sleep it off.

All of the other defendants said that they visited the house to see the sick woman and the argument started when they wanted to play with the baby who was asleep and its mother objected. $1.00 fine was assessed against all of them.

A case affording a good deal of human interest and at the same time evidencing the peculiar qualifications possessed by Police Justice Spindle the man in the question he held was on the police court decket Monday morning. William Johnson, a colored man about 35 years of age, whose countenance and bearing showed unmistakably the marks of a dissipated life, came before the bar at the call of his name, carrying a heavily bandaged hand in a sling. The only charge applied was a hold held as a material witness against Willie Grandy, the man who caused his injury. According to Johnson, Grandy shot him a few weeks ago in Berkley.

A white man volunteered to bail Johnson in order that he might have his freedom while awaiting the convening of the grand jury. When Johnson faced the court to be sworn on account of his bail, Justice Spindle discovered that there was an unpaid fee of $5.00 and costs hanging over his head from a previous appearance, in that court. It was then a delicate question with the court whether to admit him to bail. Johnson needed for his liberty and presumed that he would be borne fine by Saturday, but said that his injured hand now prevented him from working. Justice Spindle inquired why he had not paid it before he was injured, and Johnson unreveled a long pitiful story of how hard luck had camped on his trail since he last appeared in court, avowing that he would surely pay the fine if given his liberty. Justice Spindle pondered over the matter for several minutes, then suddenly said, "I'll take a chance on you." He admitted the man to bail and cautioned him to return to the court with the amount of the old fine Saturday, December 1, for which Johnson thanked him profusely.

There are six agenicle whose activities are confined to social work The community Chest Fund campaign which has for its purpose the raising of $250,000 to provide maintenance for twenty-two charitable and social uplift organizations associated in the Fund for the year 1924 got under way Monday morning. There are six agencies whose activities are confined to social work among the colored population of the city affiliated with the campaign. To contribute to the support of these agencies is a moral obligation encumbent upon every colored man and women in Norfolk, themselves temporarily removed from the shadows of charity. It is an obligation that cannot be evaded except through a rejection of the commandment of God—"Love thy neighbor as thy self." As a race of people we boast a catholicism more devout than most civilized groups. Ardent Christians and a worshipful people we are called. But there can be no greater manifestation among a people of the spirit of the Nazarene than the outstretching of a ready hand to its needy and helpless. Norfolk's Christian population must not falter in this campaign. The $12,000 our committee asks us to subscribe should be forthcoming before Tuesday night. In Knoxville, Tenn., and Atlanta, Ga., Community Chest Fund drives are about to get started. Colored citizens of these cities are watching us of Norfolk. We can do no other than set the record high. In every city where these campaigns have been conducted the colored people have been offered membership into them. This exemplifies a fine spirit of racial co-operation and shows, after all, that mankind does consider that he is his "brother's keeper." After these white people have perfected an organization and set in motion the machinery to apply business to philanthropy we can do no other than to use the means they graciously provide to do our bit for our own unfortunate people and to elevate our own boys and girls. Within the past two years we have lost the influence of the colored branch of the Salvation Army and the Young Men's Christian Association because we failed to do our duty toward them. We have not another social organization in the city whose influence we can afford to lose. Each one of these agencies came upon the field of colored work here thrue faith, faith in our ability and will to support them. Will we disappoint them and thereby turn our backs on those whom they help? To do so will be to make mockery of our Christianity. If none of the solicitors have called upon you as yet, one of them will. Be prepared to make a pledge and help bring the campaign to a grand close. Mr. Garvey's Praise of Dr. Washington and His Work The appearance of Mr. Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in Norfolk, at the Bank Street Baptist Church, drew a large audience, which is usually the case wherever he appears in public as: a speaker. He has in large measure the tremendous drawing power of Mr. Frederick Douglas and Mr. Booker T. Washington. Three men could not be more different in physical make-up, in mental equipment, in oratorical methods. Each always held his audience, and they do say that the is acid formant. But Mr. John Mercer Lang- ston was also, a great orator, with the power to hold the audience. So many of our men of light and leading dislike Mr. Garvey and, his propaganda, and so many of them have denounced him and pursued him, as to leave him little choice than to dislike and denounce them. It is interesting, therefore, to have Mr. Garvey, shower oratorical bouquets on the grave of Dr. Booker T. Washington and to place the word of approval on the good work Dr. Washington accomplished and passed on to others. In his address here, Mr. Garvey said: "In my tour of the West and return thru the South, I stopped at Tuskegee to view the great work of the greatest Negro the black race produced up to the twentieth century. Behold his work stands there as a shrine to his memory. In all parts of the South I witnessed the working out of his philosophy, men working with their hands and dignifying labor, and making good citizens and thus preparing the way to become better African citizens. I pay my tribute to him as a great man and trust that time will eventually accord to him the credit that is rightly his." Opinion will always be divided on the question as to which of the men the race has produced is the greatest. The fact is that every great man of every race is in his own right because he fitted in with the times and the people whose strength and weakness, whose goodness and badness, he illustrated in his life and labors, and without which he would not have been great at all. We can't appreciate a great man unless we are familiar with his times and his people. Dr. Washington's work is enduring. The graduates of Tuskegee Institute are making good and useful citizens, as Mr. Garvey found in his travels over the country, and they will continue to do so with the coming and going of the years, living monuments of the greatness of the founder of Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Lincoln Johnson's Plea for Fairplay We have all been reading with interest and profit Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson's plea for fairplay before the Republican National Committee, in which he is a member, in combatting the reduction of representation in National conventions, by which, on the plan adopted, Southern Republicans lose most because they have less votes than the other State groups upon which to bussie representation. Whose fault is that? The Republican party is responsible for the failure because it has never made any sufficient effort to enforce the suffrage guarantees of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Why? Mr. Johnson wants to know if the reduction is the punishment for helping to make William McKinley and Warren G. Harding presidents. He does not answer the question, but we are able to tell him that the Southern delegate scandals which developed in the nomination of both of those men helped powerfully to create the sentiment in the committee which adopted the reduction plan. And we may say, in passing, that most of the throw backs we have had in the Republican party came then the policies of four Ohio men who were elected Presidents, three of them by our votes. The men are Hayes, Garfield, McKinley and Harding, and the most hurful of these was Harding, and that is saying a great deal when we consider what a weak member Rutherford B. Hayes was. Let us pray that we may never be called upon again to vote for an Ohio Republican to be President. There must be something wrong with the whole breed of them. There is another and important angle to the question, and Mr. Johnson brought it out in the following: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, this proposition will not do. It leaves too many Republicans with a bad taste in their mouths. It is not fair to go into impending political warfare with so many ardent Republicans distressed down deep in their hearts at the acts of the Republican organization. It is not good judgement to go into the coming battle with so many of your private feeling that they have been fundamentally wronged. It is not right; it is not good diplomacy; it is bad policy; there is no reason for it. Oh no; there is no reason for it! On, here is there. But the dirty work of neglect and ingratitude has been done, and can't easily be undone. The Afro-American voters of New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio, showed-in the elections this month that they vote for their best interests, as President Harding advised in his Birmingham address, and not for the good of the Republican party, with Bascom Slemp of Virginia, coming over from the Harding Administration, designated to be the head and spokesman for the Afro-American Republicans of the South and the Nation, by the present Republican Administration. As a matter of fact, the Afro-Americans in the states, where they can vote and have their votes counted have ceased definitely to expect the Republican party to do for them the things in citizenship which they can and should do for themselves. They are meeting reaction of the Republican leaders in the Congress and the Republican National Committee with reaction at the ballot boxes, and we shall see who suffers most by the reaction, perhaps in the National elections next year. But the dirty work of neglect and indecision has been done, and can't easily be made up. The Afro-American voters of New York, Jersey, Maryland and Ohio, showed interest this month that they vote for first interests, as President Harding and his Birmingham address, and not for food of the Republican party, with Bremp of Virginia, coming over from the Army Administration, designated to be the chief spokesman for the Afro-American Rivers of the South and the Nation, present Republican. Administration. Batter of fact, the Afro-Americans in states, where they can vote and have taxes counted have ceased definitely to be the Republican party to do for them the citizenship which they can and show themselves. They are meeting reactively the Republican leaders in the Congress and the Republican National Committee with regard to the ballot boxes, and we shall see what happens by the reaction, or perhaps in the final elections next year. A Fine Spirit Those who go to the necessary expense and put up the necessary guarantees to bring to the city popular athletic events such as the great football contests between famous colleges that.Norfolk has had in the past two seasons deserve the gratitude of the people of the community. Approximately 4,000 people gathered at League Park Monday afternoon to witness the Shaw-Lincoln game. Nearly as many witnessed the contest here last year between Morehouse College and Union University. Among both crowds were thousands of visitors. This is fine advertising for the city and they who make such splendid advertising for our community possible and at the same time provide us with a day of clean, wholesome entertainment are worthy of whatever crumbs may fall from their efforts. Every big thing is accomplished by somebody assuming the risk, financial or otherwise; and if our city is to gain greater prestige as a center of athletic and sporting activities, somebody has got to have enough red blood to stand to win or lose. The public is to be commended, for turning out to witness the game in such overwhelming numbers. It is the people who hold the power to make of such things a success or failure. The fine spirit of hospitality, congeniality and regular good time provided the visitors by the home folks was worthy of the best traditions of our people. EASY Parts of Speech Continued a.

There has been recently organized with her quarters in Edenton, N. C., the King Mutu Life Insurance Company apparently under good auspices. Our race cannot have too much good life insurance, and we need it of various grace and kinds. We need our life insurance companies, first; for the protection that good insurance affords, and secondly; for the employment they give our young men and women. North Carolina has given us the greatest Negro Life Insurance Company in the world, the North Carolina Mutual, whose worth the race is common knowledge to the men's school child. We hope that the King Mutu will grow strong from the inspirational shows cast about it by its big brother in the state, and render great service and enjoy great prosperity.

Mellon has struck a very responsive chord by his recent announcement of his plan to reduce the present cost of living. His plan seems to mean 'a reduction in tax where wealth may invest without having to burden by an income tax. To invest in tax free securities to escape an income tax, do not appear any too patriotic, but the fact it mains that many of the wealthy Americans have sought tax-fixing securities to move having large income taxes to the Government. It is the opinion of Secretary Mellon that reduction in taxes will mean investments in the wealthy in productive enterprises, a take their money out of the non-product fields. Whatever method the Secretary employ if he succeeds in bringing our money and the common necessities of life nearer together, will-prove a very popular official. It is common complaint, over the next few high now as they were in 1998. The people demanded a change at that time and got it. Unless some relief is given soon, they may demand more changes. The people have learned to share the judgment of Secretary Mellon in matters finance. His announcement of his desire to reduce the cost of living will find favor in the public mind. As soon as he actually reduces the expenses of living, he will rise yet higher in the esteem of the populace he went to Washington to serve. By all honorable means, let the high cost be lowered.

Disfranchisement And The Remedy From the (New York City) *Norge, World* The Southern States disfranchise a large part of their citizenship "because of race, and previous condition of servitude," although the Federal Constitution says that "no Sts shall" do it. Strangely enough the Supreme Court says that "if it can done has sanctioned so much that it has been a pealess judgment." Dr. DuBois's sits in the "Crisis" that Southern "represents in Congress must be reduced," presumably because we are ruled and taxed without representation of our own by those who have dfranchised us and who benefit in the app The Southern States disfranchise a large part of their citizenship "because of race, color and previous condition of 'servitude', although the Federal Constitution says that "no State shall" do it. Strangely enough the Federal Supreme Court says that it can be done and has sanctioned so much of it as has been appealed to it for judgement. Dr. DuBois insists in "The Crisis" that Southern "representation in Congress must be reduced", presumably because we are rulled and taxed without representation. We have no franchiseed us and who benefit in the apportionment of representation in Congress by our numbers. But how will reduction of representation in Congress benefit us? We are first of all "citizens of the United States and the States in which we reside." If Congress should enact a measure reducing Southern representation because of our disfranchisement, it would legalize the right of a State to disfranchise us, and the Supreme Court would very probably uphold this legislation. If it should do so, the right of any State; not only of the Southern States, would be affirmed, to do so. Do we want that? We think not. It was not intended by its promoters that a clause in the fourteenth amendment should be sufficient to nullify and make of no effect our right of suffrage by the action of any State or of the fifteenth amendment. Federal Supreme Court, the fifteenth amendment, this mandatory in the following: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." That is plain enough. If we insist upon Congress reducing representation because of our disfranchisement it will transfer our grant of the suffrage from the Federal Government and place it at the discretion of the several States. That will be dangerous for us. We would have to deal with it. We will grow into the power to vote in the States, where we are now deprived of the grant if the right of a State to disfranchise us be not authorized by the Congress and upheld by the Federal Supreme Court, where retaining the right in the States where there is now no dispute about the question, but which, if it does, and the power, that it has to retain, is not the right. It is to our best interests to let the Southern reduction of representation business alone. Time will remedy it. EASY ENGLISH Parts of Speech Continued 3.

P.) 67—When was the first Convention of Colored people held in the U. S. A.? On the 15th day of September, 1830, there was held at Bethel Church in the city of Philadelphia, the first convention of Colored people of the United States of America. 68—What Negro regiment saved the Patriot Army in the siege of Savannah in 1779? When the Patriot Army, before Savannah began its retreat, Lieut. Maitland with the grenadiers and marines, charged its rear with the purpose of accomplishing its annihilation. It was then that there occurred the most brilliant feat of the day, and one of the bravest ever performed by foreign troops in the American cause. In the army of D'Estiang was a legion of black and mulatto freedmen, known as Fontages Legion, commanded by Vicount Fontages, brave and experienced officer. This legion met the church of Maitland and his hordes, and saved the retreating army. **69—What did Maj. Blunt say of the Negro troops at the battle of Honor Springs, Ark?** Maj. Gen. Blunt writing of the Honey Springs, battle, said, "The Negroes (First Colored Regiment) were too much for the enemy, and let me here say that I never saw such fighting as was done by that Negro regiment. They fought like veterans, with a valor and coolness that is unsurpassed. They preserved their line perfect throughout the whole engagement, and all though in the hottest of the fight they never once faltered. Too much praise cannot be awarded them for their gallanty."
