U.S. TO SEND ALL-RACE COMMISSION TO VIRGIN ISLES 12 PAGES IN TWO PARTS PROPOSE LEAGUE OF INDEPENDENT COLORED VOTERS Movement Headed by H. H. Price Is Launched In Richmond. Discounts Allegiance To The Republican party. CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN SOUTHERN CITY (BY IND. NEWS SERVICE Richmond, Va.—What is regarded as a very significant sign of the Negroes' political trend of mind is the great following lining up behind the proposition to form an organization to be known as the Independent Voters of America. The first public notice of the movement was given to the press on September 25, 1922, when the following appeared: "New Political Organizaiton—There will be organized in this City (Richmond, Va.) in the near future what is to be known as the Independent Voters of America. This movement has no connection whatever with the city black Republican movement." This notice was given out by H. H. Price, of Richmond, Va., who has since then been working steadily to move the movement. He feels that the movement is well under way and there will soon be proposed states in line to call the proposed conference, which is to be held in some southern city, probably at Raleigh, N. C. In discussing the matter a few days, ago before a conference of representatives, Mr. Price spidited. We have been working quietly on this proposition for more than a year and we are thoroughly convinced that the only remedy for disadvantages which affect our group is to form an independent organization. The President, in his recent message to Congress, clearly sustains this view, and made certain the attitude to recognize that these difficulties are to a large extent local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human kindness of each community. Such a method gives much more promises of a real remedy than outside interference. Now if this is the case, then it is high time for sober thought of serious things. And as I see it our only hope is to develop a local sentiment that will give us some influence with those who make and enforce the laws under which we must live and maintain our numerous and varied industries. "The Republican party has had our loyal support for more than fifty years and the only reward has been the placing of a few Negro politicians in some insignificant jobs while the mass of Negroes continue to suffer disfranchisement and discriminations, even in the departments of the government itself. A colored member of the Republican National Committee for more than three years has not been able to ever any influencer himself in the face, nor control political, in the state he represents as national committeeman, couldn't even land a little insignificant job for himself. "Now let us face the matter squarely. If you are elected a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and seated without a word of protest, how much good would it mean to the community in which you live when you turn? None in the least. First because the dominant political organization in which you live is Negroism and secondly, because the national organization maintains a policy of non-interference. "The day has come and the hour is at hand when we must hit the independent trail. If these difficulties are ever overcome they are going to be overcome by both races finding some line of contact, with a common aim and interest, each giving and taking, finally eliminate the differences." It will be remembered that Mr. Price was the independent nominee for Congress from the district of Virginia in 1924. There were four white men in the race also, and the count of the ballots showed him to be close to second place out of the four. His said the influences are at work have the proposed conference held in one of the border states and this agitation may bring about a second conference in another section of the country.

The possibility of Washington physicians establishing a "black list," composed of patients whom they consider able to pay, but who standfastly refuse to, it has been proposed that once every three months physicians would send in to a central bureau a list of names of patients who have refused to pay them. These names would be kept on file and whenever a physician received a call to new patients he would call the bureau and find out their status. It is claimed that such a bureau has been found to work satisfactorily in Chicago.

DESCRIBES SUFFERING OF HIS NATIVE PEOPLE (CRUSADER SEPVICE) New York—Rothechild Francis, editor of the Enunciator, member of the legislature of St. Thomas and St. John, Virgin Islands, United States, has just reached New York City on his way to Washington, D. C., to place before the Congress and President Coolidge the acute economic conditions prevailing in the Virgin Islands and to ask for remedial legislation. A group of liberal white Americans has pledged support to the cause. Mr. Francis declares "Nearly half of the natives have left the islands due to lack of employment. This state of affairs was hastened through the application of Federal law to the islands. The people are disheartened and look to Congress for immediate relief." Continuing his story is "I fear that the situation is a bursting point. Our people are "unemployed through no fault of their own, and its up to our protectors to remedy this evil. I am here to plead the cause of my suffering countrymen, whose wives and children are undered, before the bar of American Public Opinion. I am not talking from sentiment. Uncle Sam bought these islands—applied Federal laws to them and then forgot to establish new industries in place of those his laws have worked hardships upon, and in some instances put out of commission. Although an integral part of the republic, the natives of these islands are not citizens of the United States." PUBLICITY AND MORE PUBLICITY "Many Americans who would champion our cause know very little about these new possessions called the Virgin Islands. They need publicity and more publicity. They need remedial legislation to change things as they are into things as they ought to be. Uncle Sam owes to the natives a chance to eke out a livelihood. This expresses a willingness to address bodies of colored people and other interested parties in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Washington. D. C., who are willing to help to save the good name of his republic in these islands so recently purchased. His New York address is No. 166 West 111 Street. POPULAR WHITE LAD DIES AT HIS HOME POPULAR WHITE LAD DIES AT HIS HOME Winston G. Blanchard, Maury High School Graduate Succumbs To Long Illness. Winston G. Blanchard, 19 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Blanchard, 115 West Fourteenth street, died at the family residence Monday night at 6 o'clock, after a lingering illness. Young Blanchard graduated from Maury high school last spring and entered William and Mary College in September. A few weeks after matriculated in William and Mary, he was forced to tour home on account of illness.

Mr. Blanchard enjoyed a large and誉 among colored people gained thru his position as clerk in the D. P. Store on Highland avenue and Pulaski street. His congenitality, courtesy and all-round good nature rapidly converted his acquaintances into admirers who will greatly regret to learn of his death.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Gun Loaded With Beans Explodes (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) Dalton, Ga., Jan. 10—Big Towns decided that he should celebrate the coming in of the New Year in an appropriate manner and to his coming he should fire an old musket that had not been fired for more than a score of years. He wanted to make a great big noise and accordingly he poured powder into it, enough for four gun-loads, and put in a lot of old nails and some heats, and when he had finished he had the barrel nearly half filled. On the appointed hour as the old year died and the new came in, Towns finally succeeded in firing the old musket, but there was little left of it or Towns. The man's arm was badly cut, and a part of his face torn away. His body was severely burned and cut in many places. Attending physicians were unable to tell just how serious Town's injuries would prove. Whiskey Still Follows Corpse Out Of House --- The body of Mrs. Milton White, who resided from 553 Tyler street, was taken from that address Thursday afternoon and shipped to North Carolina for interment. Saturday morning, according to statements, made by undertaker Freddid Vaughn. And according to statements of the police much activity began in the house soon after the body left, which was neither mourning nor the shedding of tears, but the rapid distilling of corn whiskey. Detectives who raided the house Saturday morning alleged that a group of a half-dozen of more men were lounging around on the first floor when they entered and upstairs from a warm still corn whiskey was dripping. A "run" had just been made the detectives stated, and down stairs where the men were gathered a quantity of the "fresh" goods was found in bottles, including hot water bottles. All of the inmates of the house were taken in custody and charged with violating the Mapp act. In Police Court Monday morning they gave testimony to the effect that they meet at the house for the purpose of assisting the dead woman's husband in raising funds to bury his wife. Some of them claimed that they went there to lend him money, while others went to learn how the grieved husband was making out. None of them admitted that they had figured out the best way to help the unfortunate husband was to manufacture a little liquor in his absence. The husband had gone to North Carolina to accompany the body of his wife, it is said. The undertaker's helper was nabbed in the raid. He alleged that he went to the house on an errand for his employer, who sent him to collect the unpaid part of the bill for burying the woman and the detectives arrived while he was there. Mr. Vaughn collaborated this testimony, stating that he had been informed about the husband before he left the city that some friends would be at the house with the money. Claimed by some people living in Tyler street that another creep was hung on the door as soon as the undertaker removed his, and all who had not seen the body leave the house thought that the dead was still inside, until live whiskey stills were brought out. All of those arrested were held for Corporation Court. New Orleans M. E. Conference New Orleans, La—The annual area onull of Negro Methodist Churches held here with Bishop Robert E.

Brown, of Newport News And Norfolk With Six Other Prominent Colored Men To Go To Islands. STARVATION THREATENS DEPENDENT NATIVES W. H. C. Brown, investment banker of Newport News and Norfolk, together with six other prominent colored men have been named a commission by Secretary of Labor Davis, to go to the Virgin Islands to make a survey of industrial and economic conditions as an approach by the United States Government to alleviating the intolerable conditions said to exist on the Islands. It is believed to be the first time in the history of the United States that an all-Negro governmental commission has been sent to one of the American possessions. The other members of the commission are Robert R. Church, of Memphis, chairman; Cornell Richardson, of Richmond, Indiana, vice-chairman; George H. Woodson, DesMoines, Iowa, secretary; Jefferson H. Coage of Delaware and Prof. Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute of West Virginia. The commission will leave the United States immediately and will make an effort to study of every phase of the Negro dependent country. It is still in need of support from the islands from Denmark a few years ago. Federal Prohibition is effective in the United States, and its possessions which include the Virgin Islands. The effect of this regulation has paralyzed the hay run industry, upon which the economic life of the Islands has always depended. Actual starvation is said to be threatening some of the natives. The commission will study labor and living conditions, employment, immigration and emigration, farming, etc., with particular reference to the possibility of them to offset the loss of the hay run industry. The bulk of the natives are Negroes or of Negro extraction. The figures compiled by the latest census reports give the population as 17,000 Negroes, 5,000 mixed, and 400 Japanese. The commission will require from six to eight weeks to complete its investigation.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Religious News And Church Activities SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY REV. J. E. BRIGGS Instructor of Theology and the Euglish Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. SUNDAY JANUARY 13TH THE LONG SOJOURN IN EGYPT—Gen., chaps. 37-50. GOLDEN TEXT—Jochov will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul—Psalm 121: 7. ----- I. Joseph Presents his BrettArn to Pharaoh—Gen. 47: 1-4. George Mathewson compares Joseph's life to Chopin's preludes, Nelson compares Joto-Chopin's preludes, each of which has three parts, and each embodying a distinct sequence. "In the first, the melody is free and unrestrained. In the second, it seems to move through tangled places—to be impeded in its way by the intervention of resist. each of which has three parts, and each embodying a distinct sequence. "In the first, the melody is free and unrestrained. In the second, it seems to move through tangled places, to be impeded in its way. Rev. J. E. BRIER tervention of resisting elements. But in the third, the melody comes out into the open once more, the tangles vanish, the impedients are removed, and the notes of the first part reappear in a new connection and with a fresh power." Joseph was a discreet official. While he had supreme authority, being the prime minister, he would do nothing that savored of graft or that would appear as though he was ignoring the authority of Pharaoh, his political master. He went in and told Pharaoh that his father and brethren had come from Canaan. Then Joseph took five of his brethren and presented them unto Pharaoh. These brethren being instructed by Joseph before hand how to answer Pharaoh, replied to the king's question that they were shepherds and they had come to sojourn in Egypt because there were no pastures in Canaan, and besides the famies is sore in the land. These famies further requested Pharaoh for the permission to dwell in the land of Goshen. "Joseph, with a desire to keep his people pure and free from admixture with the heathen race of Egyptians, had advised them to make this declaration, knowing shepherds, and would have as little to do with them as possible. 2. Joseph Presented Jacob, Father to Pharoh. 3. Joseph in king's in that royal chamber decorated by weird hoiephlegs, and long lines of fantastic figures." Dr. F. B. Myer well says, "The one, royal with the adventitious distinction of birth and cank; the other, a way-worn pilgrim royal with the divine patent of royalty; noble character. The less is always blessed by the greater, and as these two stood together, it was shown that character is more precious than rank, and that God can endow a human spirit with such moral splendor as to compel the world's conquerers to confess themselves conquered before its power. By nature you may be crafty, mean, and bargain-loving; yet if you will but yield yourself to God, and submit to his loving discipline, he will make you truly royal, and give you the moral power which masters all other power besides." Joseph was not ashamed of his old father. Joseph was truly an ideal son--A son sets his aged father before a king. There are no words available to justly describe the scene, there is scarcely anything more tender and nobler than the literature of any other period. Jacob answered right when told the Pharaoh that "few and evil have been the years of my pilgrimage. Jacob's life had been short in connection to the life of his grandfather and father. All ill in his life, Jacob had either directly or indirectly brought it among himself. along with Job blessed Pharoah, and withdrew from his presence.

"And so these wandering clans, these tribes that were the nomads of the desert, who, after three hundred years had not taken a step in advance, were by this strange route, this romantic history, brought down into Egypt to receive through the next four hundred years, the rudiments of that knowledge by which they were to become a nation to which the whole civilized world is indebted for its best laws, its noblest morality, its sweetest affections, and its profoundest aspirations."Henry Ward Beecher.

He also made some of Joseph's brethren rulers over his cattle. In compliance with the command of Pharaho, Joseph placed his father and brethren in the best land, the land of Ramses. And Joseph, the devoted son, nourished his father and brethren and their households while the famine was sore in the land. BRIGGSOGRAMS. It takes a mighty big man to forget life's injuries. The life of Joseph is a beautiful commentary-it pays to live straight. He in whom the Spirit of God dwells, is indeed and truth a wise man. The promises of God are always fulfilled somehow, somehow they never fail. The true man will never fail; he has on in his side invisible allies—God, right, truth and humanity. BANK STREET CHURCH By W. J. Scott, Church Reporter A sermon that was effective in the spiritual response that greeted it as well as forceful in the presentation of the Bible truths uttered was delivered by Rev. C. M. Long, pastor of the Bank Street Church, last Sunday morning. The subject: A Call For Consecration To The Services of God, from 1 Chronicles, 29th chapter, last clause of the first verse. "And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord," centers around the desire of David to build a house unto the Lord, and God's withholding from him this work which his son was to do. David in his zeal to prepare a palace for the Lord God delivered a striking message to the people of Israel setting forth that Solomon was still young and of tender years and for that reason needed all the support that they could give to him by pointing out his own gifts to the church of Jehovah, he inspired them that they might do their best and give their noblest. The temple thus erected was to the children of Israel to co-operate with him in building the earthly temple to be dedicated to God, so God has called us to be co-laborers with him in the splendid spiritual temple that is being erected. First, in response to the call, the service should be voluntary; should see that it is a call for consecration to the God of God. Second, in the nature of the appeal, we should be who is willing: there is the result of meditation and discipline. Third, the appeal is justified on the ground that God, the author of our being makes the appeal Himself. Fourth, the times demand it. Fifth, the reward of consecrated life: God will let his favor rest upon you, will keep you from enemies, will protect you from danger. "I have been young and now I am old and I have never seen the righteous forsaken," God will grant you the esteem of men; in the end He gives you the assurance of eternal life. Sunday School The Bank St. Sunday School close one of the best and most successful years in its history, December 30, 1923. With the exception of the year of 1919, last year suppressed all other years in the growth during the existence of the Sunday School. Numerically and financially the results were most gratifying for the period mentioned. The sum of over $1200 was raised and the attendance showed all during the year a steady rise. Mr. Eugene West, the present superintendent was again elected to head the Sunday School, while Miss Mildred Dudley, seey and Mr. Matthew R. Jackson, treas. were re-elected to serve in their respective positions. Roy Williams' Lecture Among the most attractive entertainments held at the Bank St Church in recent years, was the steropteryx lecture on the Holy Lands, by Rev. F. W. Williams of the Queen Street Baptist church Rev. Williams, who recently turned from an external visit to Palestine, gave an interesting account of many places of religions and historic interest thrust on Holy Lands. No one who meets first hand information and desires to hear vivid portrayal of scenic effects was witnessed by the traveler should miss this graphic lecture presented by Rev. Williams. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Rev Bowling used as his theme for the New Year's sermon "Providing for the Future" Luke 16:4. He delivered a forceful and inspiring sermon which had a marked effect upon his hearts. Sunday Shool and B. Y. P U. were well attended. In the evening a goodly number board the pastor in another wonderful sermon from the subject "Reobaining on Ones Way" Acts 8:39. The speaker said that on acceptance of Jesus Chirst brings in inward peace and satisfaction and is confessed through baptism. The implication was made that it makes no difference if one is clothed in royal raiments or poverty or what ones age is if there is that inborn desire it can be gratified through belief. A cordial welcome awaits rangers and visitors. WANTED! The Journal and Guide wants representatives in West Norfolk, South Norfolk, South Hill, West Munden, Berkley Ward, and Lambert's Point Norfolk.

I Will Not Forget Thy Words." -Psalm 119:16. THE VALUE OF BIBLE READING The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by, to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbour is, and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.—H. W. Beecher. 1. Bible Reading brings us nearer to God. 2. He has called a voyage upon the sea of time. Man is a traveler from one eternity to another. Every ship has a compass chart, without which our ship could not make one voyage safely. Time's seas are often rough and the winds are contrary. Navigation without the chart is perilous. You cannot hope to make God's port, if upon the passage, the chart There is a better land—a country where trials and tears are strangers. God is the ruler of that country, the heavenly. The Bible points out the way to that haven of rest and happiness. So very often we stand upon the shores of time and yearn for the City of God. "I want to go there too." "I am thinking of that beautiful land today that I shall reach when the sun goeth down." The old slave was told to follow the North Star, and he would eventually find the land of freedom. Follow your chart, read the Bible study the Word of God, Read and study the Scriptures prayerfully constantly, and carefully, and ye shall find God, ye shall feel and realize the presence and nearness of Him Who said "I am the way the truth and the life." Who can thoughtfully read the 23rd Psalm without feeling that God is near? Try it. ```markdown ``` 2. Bible Reading Acquaints us with the World's best Literature. No man is truly educated unless he truly well acquainted with the Bible. The Book of Books contains straight-forward narrative, beautiful poetry, philosophy, history, letters, and prophecy. Hall Caine says, "There is no book in the world like it, and the finest novels ever written fall far short in interest of any one of the stories it tells. Whatever strong situations, I have in my books not of my creation but from my creation. The Dounster's story of the Prodigal Son. The Boudman' is the story of Jacob and Esau." Search the field of literature, and you will not find any thing more beautiful than the Bible. The Bible stories are fascinating and charming; the poetry is sublime and inspiring; the history is in- METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION The Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church Uhsier Board met Tuesday with Mr. D. W. Bell. The following officers were elected for the next ensuing term: Emanuel McCoy, president, J. M. Angie, vicepresident. H.

"The Bible—the English Bible a book which, if every thing else in our language would perish, would extend its service to show the whole extent of its (the language's) beauty and power"—Macaulay. The marks of an educated man are to know Shakespeare, Dickens and the Bible. Ex-President Wilson says, "A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of intimate knowledge of the Bible." 3 Bible Reading Introduces us in some of the World's greatest Characters. "It is worth noting that the Bible is largely biographically. Open the book, and you at once gaze into the strong men. They move before you, they speak, labor, suffer, achieve, and die."—Chas, Jefferson Follow Abraham in his long and perilous journey from Chaldea to Canaan. Study his life as it is told in the book of Genesis. His character is one of the noblest in all history sacred or profane. "He possessed great self-possession, good temper, meekness, and patience: warm domestic affections and anxpansive, genial heart, that looked much to the welfare of others and was ever ready for their sakes, to sacrifice his own."—Blaikie. Joseph and Daniel are model characters. Young men could well afford to pattern after them; imitate their virtues, follow their examples, and you will attain nuto those things which are true, honorable, just, pure and lovely. Joshua, the intrepid; Gideon, the brave; Elijah, the fearless; Ruth, the winnows; Deborah, the courrages; Dovrs, the generous are beautiful lights of history. In the Bible we meet with Jesus Christ the greatest man the World hopes to save. Biographies of great, especially of good men, are most instructive and useful as helps, guides, and incentives to others. Some of the best ar almost equivalent to gospels, teaching high living, high thinking, and energetic action, for their own and the world's good."—Smiles. 4. Bible Reading inspires to the world. highest Living. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error for its matter: it is all pure, all sincere, nothing too much, nothing wanting.—Locke. Read literature, philosophy, science, history; you instruct, inform, expand the intellect, the head, Shakespeare's Plato, Newton, Herodotus, the faster Minds of the ages, inspires us to profound thinking, Moses, Isaiah, John, and Paul inspire us to profound thinking, noblest living. Read the Bible, study it, inwardly digest its precepts, and you shall find the aburdant life. The highest living is to live with God, in God, and for God. "The Scriptures teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying"—Playell. BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Sunday, January 6, using the third chapter of Proverbs, 13th verse, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom." Pastor Miller defined wisdom as the judicious application of knowledge, and happiness as a blessed by-product of the conscientious performance of duty. Pleasure is, sensual, selfish, and fleeting. Happiness is useful and enduring in the reward of the selfish happiness, the reward of the charitable. Pleasure may be found in the attainment of knowledge, the acquisition of riches, or the realization of ambition. Happiness and poverty are often found together, as are also misery and opulence. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH Despite of the zero weather Old St. John's ran high with the New spirit. The Sunday School opened on time with a large attendance of teachers and officers. The passwords for the year are "Better" and "We Must". At the morning service Rev. S. S. Morris sounded the keynote for the year in a soul stirring sermon, "Our New Year's Deposit in the Bank of Heaven" 11 Tim, 1-12. The leagues were well attended. The senior league was led by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Young. The Holy Communion was administered at the evening service. The church is alive with renewed vigor for the New Year. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E. Revival services are in progress at this church. Last Sunday the Sunday school was well attended. Decision Day was observed in the Sunday school. Many reconstructed themselves for this special service. At 11 a.m. the pastor, R.W. W. Roberts, preached, has been our pleasure to hear. The Holy Communion followed this service. A church of the three leagues combined in a special consecration service which was inspiring and helpful, at 7:30, the pastor again preached a powerful sermon from Rev. 3-20, "Behold I stand at the door and knock." The Univinied Guests." This was the opening sermon of the revival. Three persons, another great saint, the restoration of the Holy Spirit. Our new steam heating is now in operation, providing entire satisfaction. The church is comfortably heated. Every night a visiting ministering will preach at these services. Among the best preach Young Woman Embarks On Missions To Africa Grand Farewell Extended Miss Viola Carter As She Leaves For Foreign Fields. Sunday night December 30th, 1923, a great missionary Mass Meeting was held at First Baptist Church, Bute street. Miss Viola Carter gave an acceptance before sailing for Africa to take up her future, life work. The Church was crowded, every vacant space being occupied. The speaker in a very quiet and unassuming manner told the story of the call that had come to her in detail. The desire and determination to become a missionary was not done in a day but was the outcome of years of hard study, work and spiritual preparation which made her ready to go into all the world to teach and administer. The simplicity of her sincerity had her audience spellbound and emotional. Her refusal to act the First Baptist Church her church, had given her $100 was received by the congregation as a small token of their appreciation of the sacrifice she is making for the cause of Christ's Kingdom on earth. Miss Carter has addressed several mass meetings outside of Norfolk and vicinity. At one meeting in Philadelphia, Pa., over $1,500 was realized in the collection. Miss Carter left Wednesday evening on the first leg of her journey. She addressed a meeting in New Jersey and the last meeting was at Metropolitan Baptist Church, New York City. Miss Carter sailed Saturday, January 5th. 1924 on the S. S. Anuaitiana for England, where she will spend three weeks awaiting the next steamer for Liberia. She was the recipient of many beautiful and useful tokens from friends, among which was a beautiful Eastern Star medal, presented by Queen Esther Chapter. P. G. M. Wilson Foreman, presented the medal to Abilding Rescue Group the donated $20.00 to the Children's Center. $5.00; Junior and Senior $1.00; U.

In the morning from Gen. 9:23:24; at night from Gen. 11:4. His message was full of truths. Six persons were united with the church. The pastor was highly elated over the way the Captains and Leutenants worked in making our plan of collecting in the homes of the members a success. We cannery hope that all will give to your collector when she calls and that will greatly receive us of the burden of collecting the time of service. Rev. Doles was present in Sunday school and gave very wholesome remarks. Rev. Doles was present also and spoke interestingly of the birth of Christ. Special Sermon At First Calvary This Sunday Dr. O. J. Allen, the great evangelist, will preach on "The Seven Wonders of Heaven" at the morning hour at the First Calvary Baptist Church. And at 3 o'clock he will lecture to women on the subject.

"Don Quixote Bryan," "Fundamentalism" BY WILLIAM PICKENS Well, sir, and some of the church leaders whose bodies live in the 20th century, but whose minds are still in the 15th century are going to prove that natural evolution is not a fact. And, wait, they are going to do it? Why, by a nation-wide campaign of a science-making Just take the second thought, please; Science is to be attacked by hot air. What on earth can mere eloquence do with a science which is supported by a million facts. Every stratum of the earth crust is a vast lead in the "inspired book" of Evolution. And on each great leaf is a million items of testimony. Those who have discovered the processes of evolution, have patiently read this book for generations. Every blade of grass and every flower is testimony. It is heard in the song of the bird, is seen in the light of the bird, and is evidenced in the thoughts of man's brain—over in the notion of those evolutionary "Don Quixotes of the 20th Century," these men of science, who with the self-sacrifice of the real saints, have brought knowledge and inmeasurable blessings into human life, are now to be usassied by the defeated champion of "sixteen to one" and crucified on his "crass of old." Not on you tin type. This hotair and hardness has attack, when it is not plainly lousing, will serve perhaps to call the attention of the masses to the real fundamentals—not the "fundamental" dogmas, but the fundamental facts of life, in the universe. These "fundamental" fossils declare that evolution shall not be taught in the school just as their predecessors in the business of bigotry declared that the shape of the earth and the movements of the planets should not be taught in the schools—as if that style of prohibition would flatten the earth or stop the planets. If a scientific theory is over attacked and overthrown, it will have to be overthrown by another scientific theory, a better supported theory, an additional body of ordered facts. It cannot be successfully combatted by mere will, or faith, or religious ones, or the weapons of Bryan and his holy warriors; mere rhetorical appeals to the unscientific and the unthinking. A science will not yield to political stump speaking. The harmony of the spheres cannot be thrown into turmoil as easily as a political convention. Eloquence, unending eloquence cannot break the endless chain of natural causes. And most beautifully, the English is impotent to politify the relation to the wing of a bird, the paw of a baboon and right hand (Continued On Page Seven) KEEP YOUR DOOR LOCKED The Devil is Coming Watch This Paper For Date.

He pointed out that he had no other interest in boxing than to see that the laws of the state were lived up, and is credited with having admitted that to his knowledge there is nothing in the present boxing law which would tend to indicate that a heavyweight mixed bout should be under any legality. ALL-A$^{31}$ERICAN C. I. A. A. FULLBACK THE BAY OF FREEDOM CAPT. WALLACE T. PARKER ST. PAUL SCHOOL SPORTBOARD REFLECTIONS BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. The past season was, from all reports, the best experienced by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association in every respect. It has been the best season for both college and independent teams, generally. The attendance has been larger, the officiating more competent, the teams of a better calibre, and the sportsmanship exhibited of the better nature. But there is still room for improvement, as there always is. Football has passed to rest now for another season. It has gone, and with its exciting games, its brilliant flashes of teamwork, its display of daring, its tenacity, its defeats, its joys and disappointments, and its lessons in fair-play. Still, we enjoy recalling these things. Again, I say, it has been the best season of the association. It has accomplished a wonderful thing, it has made a fine start towards showing its real value. A few more equalities of schedules, and things will be even more interesting and profitable. If a school is a member of the association why go out side of the association once? But we cannot expect everything to be perfect or as we want it to be. Perfection comes through concentrated and determined effort. But football has passed. Basketball is rushing everything into oblivion and receiving its share of the spotlight. Norfolk had its chance to see a game which in every way was interesting as could be wished. At the same time basketball is not short of thrills and chances for dazzling team or individual work. Norfolk is, without a doubt a good city in which to stage football games. Why not also be as good a place to play? Generally, a form of sport? Geally and nationally, I said it has been a fine football season; specifically and locally there are many things that can be impurged. But this will have to be worked out. There is no better time than now to begin working up a better support for any sort of athletic activities. At least try it.

A. in the first game of the season by an overwhelming score of 47-22. Morehouse played the five man offense and five man defense. The team work was exceptionally good, the passing and guarding being the main features of the game. Coach Harvey sent in the second string men the last five minutes of each half. They held the "Y" boys on equal terms. Captain Gayles had the honor of making the first basket of the season, and making the second and final points. Sykes played a brilliant game at Guard, guarding up the "Y" boys when they attempted to shoot. Dalton was high point man for the "Y" making 14 points. Morehouse, Y. M. C. A. Author of 'The Fool' Relates Purpose Of His Play Author of 'The Fool' Relates Purpose Of His Play Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Jan.—Channig Pollock, author of the sensational drama, "The Fool" relates the purpose of his play in a telegram to Dr. Robert R. Moton, on December 31, when this gripping drama was presented by Mrs. Robert R. Moton, featuring Charles Winter Wood and the "Tuskegee Players" comprising other members of the Institute Faculty. The telegram warns "Deeply regret ill health prevents my attending your performance of "The Fool." It seems to me the character of Gleibert seeking to interpret Jesus should find especially sympathetic understanding in your race. Christ was not the physically immature figure of the stained glass windows, he was a tragged and probably dirty Jewish peasant, so scorned, rejected and persecuted. His appeal for brotherhood came from the exper ideal of brotherhood which seems strangely to forget and exclude Negro. Christ certainly could not. It is my earnest hope that in whatever my play may have done to remind us of that ideal there may have been something to suggest higher aspirations in your race and warmer sympathetic understanding and helpfulness in mind." "SHUFFLE ALONG IN CANADA" Toronto, Can. Jan.—Sissile and Blake with their famous "Shuffle Along" extravaganza, are again delighting Toronto audiences this week. This fine organization whose appearance in this city last Fall was so highly successful, is still an exceptionally popular attraction; and crowded houses evidence the fact that the excellent singing, exquisite dancing, and good-natured humorists of this gorgeously customized company performing amidst lavish scenic effects, is still electrifying the exacting audiences for which this city is noted. A wave of Race pride has struck our people in this city; for not only on the stage have those artists made a tremendous and excellent demeanor off-stage has considerably boosted the stock not only of the colored performer but of the race; and in consequence thrown open their homes with the heartiest of welcome to those who are truly a credit to their race.

Beckwith Signs To Play With Homestead PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Pittsburgh, Pn., Jan.-According to an announcement from the management of the Homestead Grays, John Beckwith, star player of the American Giants of Chicago, has signed a contract to play with the local team next season. Beckwith, one of the greatest sluggers the game has ever known, and a star in every department of the game, came to terms with Manager Posey after months of dichering and finally affixed his "John Hancock" on the little dotted line. His salary, it is said, will be the highest offered a player for jumping the big leagues for an outlaw organization. Beckwith, whose hitting has been the sensation of the older circle for the past two years, is a product of Kentucky, the same state which produced "Boots" McClain, former Cleveland shortfelder and many other diamond stars. He received his preliminary education on the sand lot of his home town, but while still a boy moved to Chicago Giants, in 1920. The Giants were tail-end members of the National League, but even under this handicap, Beckwith's hitting made his name a common one on the tongues of followers of the game. But it was on May 29, 1921, that Beckwith made history, reputation and proved his ability as a slugger of the rarest type on that day, in a game between the cinnati Cubans the Chicago Giants, played on Redland Field, Beckwith poled a fast pitch over the field, wall field onto the roof of a factory across the street. He was the first player, colored or white to have ever accomplished this feat. In fact, there is only one other player who has ever duplicated Beckwith's stunt. Last season, Beckwith played with the American Glants all year, appearing at first base, shortstop, and at third base at various times throughout the campaign. Because of his hitting strength, he was unable to be kept out of the lineup. Jack Johnson Buys A Farm Poughkeepsie N.

Jr. Parker Hampton, Va., Jan. 5—The "Seasider" Quintet made its second appearance of the season on the Welvin Hampton Institute Gymnasium court before a large crowd of students, instructors and visitors and defeated the team in the generation of teams from the Newport News "W" by the score of 31-14. The "Soasiders" outclassed the "Y" team in all departments of the game. Their passing was more accurate and snappy. It was executed with more precision. The teamwork was developed to such a stake that at times it fairly dazzed the opponents. Before the "Y" could score a point, the team had a twelve-point lead. With such a lead could have been intended for the "Y" tossers to become discouraged, but instead they exhibited a splendid fighting spirit that gained them five points before the end of the first half. Several rallies were started but were nipped in the bud by the brilliant and steady guarding of Captain Langton and ex-captain Gunn. These two guards led a defense that was superb, and Ninibals led with Hargrove and Ninibals each. Both played a hard game, while "Chet" Jones at foil played in his usual form. In the last half several substitutions were made. Much good material was seen in action. Brown and Epps starred on the offense for the "Y", while Mason and Robinson played a good steady game. Hampton scored eleven points in the last half to "Y's" nine. The score would probably have been larger for Hampton and smaller for the "Y," except that many substitutions were made and they paved the way for the "Y" passers to make four field goals and one free throw. With the present combination and with such a good supply of substitutes, Hampton should present a very formidable team this season By Al. Smith THIRTY IN JAIL ME! DANG! ED BY THE P.

Would Change Track Rules New York. - What amounts to the elimination of qualifying round in the intercollegiate high jump and pole vault has been recommended to the Intercollegiate A. A. A. by the Association of College Track Coaches of America. Under the existing schemes, qualifying rounds in these events are conducted on the first day of the annual Eastern college track and field championships and the final rounds on the second. The coaches would combine high jump and pole vault competition to mid-day. Harry L. Hillman, coach at Dartmouth, and secretary of the coaches' association, declared in cutting one plan: "Two-day competition is rather severe on the foul competitor, as competition in the trials is as strenuous as the finals. A jumper or vaulter loses his springing in the two-day competition and it is our recommendation that competition in these events be confined to the first day of the meeting at the United two hours earlier that has been the custom." It was pointed out that qualifying competition in the two events differs from that in all other field events.

First she offered "O Mio Fernando," from Donizetti's "Favorita." Then she sang two Negro spirituals, "My Lord, What A Mornin'," and "Heav'n, Heav'n," Delivering the Donizetti air with telling fervor and dramatic emphasis, she passed to the more congenial field of the racial songs in which she was thoroughly at home. These naive ballads she gave in a way that reached and stirred the hearts of all who heard her luscious and resonant voice, with a driving power of art and temperament behind it. The applause, when she finished, came like a sudden blast of gun-fire, and continued through so many recalls that it seemed as if a rule must be broken and an encore granted. WANTED!

Dial Norfolk 22801 Sporting World Await Wills-Madden Parker (St. Paul) The selection of an All-Star eleven is based purely upon the opinion in general of well known conference and the individual record of the individual record of the players. The writers made a selection from 18 of our leading colleges who play the brand of All-American football. Such a selection requires keenness of insight, sound judgment and skill. Some good men will always be left off, so far as public opinion decrees. It is a delicate job and one full of responsibility. It is for this reason that some of our foremost sport writers fail to make a selection. But despite these facts and the addition of the great influx of material of A. Leon Richardson, writer of the book and publicity manager at present of the American Federation of Students assisted by L. Chick) A close follower and authority in this field take the responsibility under the auspices of the Student Federation to select the mythical eleven. A Digest of the Material Scottish Brown of Wilberforce, takes one end on the first team for his consistent playing thru-out the season. He possesses all of the qualities of an end: He is alert fast going down on punts, and a tackler tackles. He is a jewel on breaking thru the interference of the opponent. Jones of Hampton takes the other end. The fact has already been solved that Jones is the best end in the C. team, is consistent with word tackler, and is a word passenger. He is a dangerous end to work a play around on account of his ability to block the most we can interfe- ference. The writers feel quite safe in giving him a berth on the Mythical seven. Lunceford of Fisk, and Ross of V. N. I. L., hold down the wings on the second team. These men selected mostly for their ability to receive the pigs on pass, their superior speed in going down on punts and their tackling effer- tives.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE third team. Byrd played a stellar game against Lincoln in the 3-3 tie; while Lane starred in the Howard game. These men are not flash but have played a consistent grance all thru the season. We come to the tackles; and the reader has already decreed Dakes of Howard, and Coston of Lincoln for moblie line. Dakes the big husky helion is a hard charger, a sterling offensive and defensive player. He can easily break then the line on oppoigs play, spill his interference and open the hole for his team. Coston, the Lincoln flash is a bulwark in the defense. He seldom misses his man. He is a sure and a hard tackler; but few plays are tried off his wing of the line. Coleman of Hampton has played a brilliant game this season, and his work stamps him as one of the best tacklers in the country, but shaded by Daukes and Coston rightly. He slightly merges a place on the mythical uterus. The uterus, tackle goes to Turman of Morehouse, was the best player in the Howeward game, and it has been thrown him that Morehouse has been able to advance the oval with any regularity. He can open the hole and break thru. Hodges of West Virginia, and LaMar of Atlanta carry the third team positions. The sensational and certain tackling of Hodges is always noticeable in whatever game he is in. He plays sturdy, and is conspicuous and persistent. LaMar is out of gridiron department demands in this selection because of his wonderful defensive playing. He was he played the great defensive game against Union at Atlanta. The two sturdy guards are Miller of Union, and Butler of Hampton. Any guard who has played against Latter this season will tell the story. "He is the best that I have met." He is a stickier, a stone wall in Hampton's line, and can crush on his opponent's line at will. Miller is a keen player, a heavy husky fellow, but less was his work at stopping. He is from victory to victory. He is a hard man to move. Leake of Atlanta, and Poindexter of Lincoln get second choice. Leake, the great center for Atlanta, whom little is heard of if playing in the society of football as Priestley would give Priestley a hard tilt for that position; and if the writers were to select an All-Southern Leake would be the indisputable center. Nevertheless, he deserves place in the face of a line. He faces the offense and defense. Poindexter has played a well rounded game this season. He is Lincoln's stonewall; always move his man, yet he is a hard man to tilt. M. T. Alexander of Taladega is one of the outstanding guards in the game, and he is one of the few guards who has enabbed his team to team yardard off that position. Standifier, the Livingstone corg, plays the other guard. He is sturdy, a fair diagnoser of the plays, and entertains his part on the offense. He is the Howard hub, gets the position position. Priestley was a very dependable man, and a stable linesman. He is a clever passer, a good man on the offense and defense. He has been a consistent player which marks his edge over Pindler, Tadlock, and prunes out Morgan. He plays on off line center, he can tackle sure, and can break up and diagnose plays. The writers prize him as the country's best defensive player, the defensive player of Pindler, the Hampton lad, and his superior type of playing marks him the second center for the season, being slightly shaded on light and experience by Priestley. Tadlock, of Tushaug, wins third in the mythical eleven. He had played a consistent and stately game. He is a nated blacker of points, and on more than one occasion his blocks have caused victory to come to his team. He is a splendid passer. I would mention Moignon of Lincoln. Morgan is well known. The count of goldinous ones from W. Virginia to Lincoln from Lineholm to Wilbarger; he would have been known the cues fallen O. K. He is known from Wilbarger back to Lineholm. He has played in only three games this season, and a part of one of these games. He has not been consistent, and so his costly error in the Lineholm Hampton game at Baltimore, obed him of some of the honors that might have been. The Backfield, here is number one comprises one from Petersting, one from Howard, one from Emanuel and one from Union. Jack Cole fills quarter. Doneghey a half, Bryd a half, and Fentress in full. Jack is a clever general: Howard knows it, he is heawy plunger, a good end skirt, a kicker, and always sure for a gain when he is oval carrier. Bryd is a spindle breaker field runner and a fast one at that. He is the colored kip, for Lincoln. He has the ability to carry a good receiver. He possesses the qualities of a sterling halfback and it not for quarter. Tux the writers select him. Donnie of Howard merits the other half. He is the Howard triple threat and main stake, and is heailed as the country's greatest halfback. He can punt, drop kick, pass and can run with the oval and is a hard man to stop. "Tress of Union could not be beaten out. He is a terrific linebacker, a star on the defense, and always sure for a gain, carrying the oval and his injuries sustain in the Atlanta game, he has played his usual game. A great football player is dead. He was wrapped up in the game, and played it for his full worth. Only death separated him from generally the second selection. Pushing Drewery. Willett of Wil- berforce steps up for the 2nd berth. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK USE GUIDE CLASSIFIED "ADS" THEY BRING RESULTS New York, N. Y.-Harry Wills, and Earlley Madden of the West Side matched to box Lwelve rounds at the 11 Regiment Aromony, Newark, on January 28, and the match will take place if no official objection is raised by the New Jersey boxing Commissioner. Tex Richard has made an earnest effort to stage this battle in Madison Square Gardens, but is said to have received advices from certain officials that, it would not be a wise thing to do at this particular time. He has apparently abandoned all idea of bringing the men together in this city. According to the latest information from New Jersey, the boxing officials of that state see no objection to Wills and Madden boxing there. Paddy Mullins, Manager of Wills, was quashed as soon as he could see no use in having Wills move Madden as there would be nothing to be gained from such a battle either in the matter of fame or money. He has now changed his mind, and is willing to accept the match. Paddy has been known to change his mind without previous notice, but there is every reason to believe that he is going through this proposition. Charter Rose, Manager of Marlod, has been ramping on Paddy's trial for the last six weeks, and it was his aim to have the right staged in Madison Square Garden. When it became evident that this G. H.

While in some quarters there is a tendency to belittle the contest on the grounds that Madden is no opponent for Wills, the impression in well-informed boxing seen at the newly-ready West Side will make things uncomfortable for the New Orleans panther. A catkin well-known for whose opinions on boxing affairs command no little respect expressed the belief yesterday that Madden, if he gets himself into first class condition, will have a good chance of beating Wills. He pointed out that Madden's bestights have been against big men, and he always has shown to the best advantage against his awe-inspiring reputations. He was Madden who wrecked the bapes of Fred and the latter the latter was being carefully groomed for another match with Jack Denney. He all but knocked the pale plasterer. Mudden already has started high training for the prospective Wills encounter, and has promised Charley Rose that when he climbs the ropes at Newark on January 28, he will be in condition up the back of a battle car.

Norcom high school, Dr. Edna P. Fox of the State Board of Health, gave a very interesting lecture to the girls of the school who were over 14 years old. The lecture which was filled with important facts concerning vital questions of health, was listened to very attentively by the students. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mrs. Fox encouraged the girls to ask questions concerning things which they would like to know about their health. The questions she showed much thought and answered by Dr. Fox. Dr. Fox was convinced that could be filled by all and which will make for better health among our young womanhood. At 7:30 o'clock the Association presented Dr. Fox to the parents of the city. At this meeting Dr. Fox spoke on the subject "Child Health and Child Training" lecture was taught for more information and teachers and their possibility for the health of their children was clearly and forcibly brought out. Mrs. Fox was very emphatic in her statement that questions of health and questions concerning their own bodies asked so frequently by children must be intelligently answered by the parents in the home and the moral mortality of the present generation are to be preserved. She outlined ways in which this could be done and it is safe to say her suggestions will fall as seed in good ground and bring forth much good fruit. The Association is to be commanded for bringing Dr. Fox to the citizens of Portsmouth. On Thursday, January 17, the Patrons' League will meet at 7 o'clock in the Norcom auditorium. Mrs. B. K. Thomas the president, is urgently requesting the parents to attend and to help put over a program of health and mental health which they so much desire to see in their children. Come and bring a friend. PORTSMOUTH EXTENSION CLASS That the holidays are over was very clearly demonstrated on last Saturday, when the class in Sociology met in regular session for its first lesson of the year. Forty-eight pupils greeted their teacher, Prof. Miles W. Connor, on his arrival, and after New Year's greetings were exchanged, work began. Several subjects had been assigned for discussion, and these showed much preparation. The first subject discussed "was by what means, under the present system, may the desired co-ordination of Social agencies be more nearly reached," was discussed by the teacher and Prof. G. Jacobs. The speakers showed that the school is a center of social co-ordination, that the co-operation of teachers, parents and pupils is necessary to successful social co-ordination. The co-operation of church and school was also emphasized—the teachers in both becoming the stimulating and organizing force rather than a control force, the church and school must have an open-mindedness to new things. The subject "The Relation of School to the Community," was discussed by Miss Bessie Churchill and Rev. F. W. Black. That the school is an absolute necessity to the community—that the community is responsible for it, which its youth is trained, was clearly shown. The school and community were likened to mother and child. As the mother nurtures her child, teaches it knowledge, shows it how to be self-supporting, etc., so the school nurtures the community, disseminates knowledge in and to the community, supports the more efficient the school, the more efficient will be the community the conclusion reached. "The Relation of School to the Family," was discussed by Miss Ruth Pollard and Mirs. Avis Robinson. In this discussion it was shown that family training is individual while the school training is for social interaction. The school has established between school and home. Parents must not trust too much to the schools and the school must base its work on what the child is, and what he is to become. The school may be a work of continuation or of correction. School training supplements home training and the continuation of the school in a good home. The resume of all work of the day was made by Prof. Connors, who commended the leaders for the intelligent manner in which he presented the class. The class is looking forward to the next meeting with great interest. At this time there will be a re-organization of all the previous lessons. This will be done with the help of a Writer will be a "True-False Test" or z "Yes-No Test" has not yet been decided. The class feels that it is prepared for either and hope to show how thorough has been the instruction of their teacher and has been their interest in the work. ZION NOTES The first Sunday in the New Year dawned clear and very cold, but this did not deter the faithful from worshipping at Zion on Sunday. The attendance in the beginners department of the Sunday School was not quite as large as usual, but otherwise the attendance was good. At 11 o'clock the communion was given and as is always the case, it was the occasion of much spiritual inspiration. The pastor, Rev. J. M. Armstead, extended the right hand to bless the congregation, washing to join the church by letter or on their christian experience. Tuesday evening, Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor of Queen Street Baptist Church, Norfolk, who has traveled extensively in the Holy Land, visited "on Cario and the Holy Land" to an appreciative audience. The lecture was interesting from the beginning to the close and it is earnestly hoped that it will be repeated in the near future. Last Sunday night Rev. Miller preached an inspiring song as his wife, C. 3 ; 19. The congregation was enjoyed by all who heard it. Next Sunday Rev. Langston, of Claremont, will preach at the morning hour. He is well known in this vicinity, and it can be safely predicted that a rare treat is in store for who hear him. The public cordially invited to join all services. On January 14, at 7:30 o'clock Rev. Plummer and his workers from Bellville, will entertain at Zion. Wherever Rev. Plummer and his workers have appeared they have been greeted by large audiences which have in terms of time of the performance, Come and hear them. another rare treat is in store for music lovers and the public in general on January 21, when Miss Marion Anderson will be presented.

THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH The spirit and progress of the church are quite gratifying from every view point. A congregation is in regular attendance of which we do not need to be ashamed, but we do need to be serviceful and services palatable to the taste of each attendant. Our motto is "Peace." We are at peace under the impression that when we are at war we can do but little for the blessed Master, who is alive in its duty and obligation. Interest has been higher than usual since the first Sunday, Nov. 4. The pastor, Dr. B. W. Dance, preached a series of sermons from the theme: "Solomon's Temple." The series closed on November 10. The benefits omitted from the series attracted the attention of large congregations, each Sunday, many of whom seemed to have been helped wonderfully. It was during the past month that the pastor made famous the "Seven Seals," from a series of sermons. On the fourth Sunday, December 23, a beautiful memorial service was held at 11 o'clock A. M., immediately after the pastor delivered a powerful sermon from the pastor. The memorial service was very sympathetic and tear drawing while the relatives and friends one by one went forward to the altar and cashed white flowers, the tokens, into a silver vessel. The Sunday School is doing a great job. The teachers are really interested in making the school worthy and that is known from the time and attention they give regularly to it. The B. Y. P. U. is taking on new life. Many of the older people are now in attendance. The two missionaries have arrived and are baskets and other donations, to the poorest people, during the holidays than ever before.

Back of this building program is an interesting story of interracial co-operation. Atlanta having outgrown its school system, several unsuccessful efforts were made to vote a bond issue for new buildings. It was found that the colored voters held the balance of power and had thrown it against the plan. City officials asked white members of the local interracial committee why this was so. The latter arranged a conference with leading colored citizens and the question was passed to them. They promptly replied: "Why should we vote taxes on ourselves when we have no assurance that we will get any of the benefits?" The rest was easy. An agreement was readily reached that if they would help carry the next bond election, their schools should be involved in the draft of the proceeds. That agreement is now being carried out. val county, because of the activity of the Klu Kux Klan, which threatened his life, and sacrificed all of his accumulations, which were considerable, in doing so.

His opportunities for getting an education were of the most limited character. At Marianna he attended for a short time a school conducted by Sergent Smith and Mr. Davenport, both middlemen, and at Jacksonville he attended two sessions of the Stanton Institute, conducted by two devoted Massachusetts women, the Misses Williams, two finer characters than whom never lived.

She seemed not able to lose ten dollars and was strong in her assertion that she handed the merchant a twenty-dollar bill in making a purchase and received change for ten dollars. The merchant just as firmly convinced that she was mistaken. The evidence was against her and if she actually gave him the amount she claimed she did, she is ten dollars the loser. People should at all times be very careful about defrauding money in large amounts. A good defense is to call the amount of the bill when placed in the hands of the clerk.

The letter which thanks colored newspapers and their editors for their service, is as follows: through the medium of the various newspapers (and we feel very grateful to the editors) we receivemany, many Christmas packages, and of course, much gloom left the prison "We thank you for the Xmas spirit you have shown us, and we wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year.

Mrs. Davis expects to raise the fund to $100. For the period between 1879 and 1907, when Mr. Fortune, because of nervous troubles, disposed of The Age and resigned from seven national organizations which he created or helped to create, he was the only national leader the race had. The organization of the Notional Afro-American League, in 1890, was the first great civic organization the race had, and it was the outcome of Mr. Fortune's agitation for a closer union of the race in matters which concerned it. During eighteen years Mr. Fortune was in daily touch with Dr. Booker T. Washington as friend and advisor, and edited all of his books and magazine articles and public addresses and suggested most of his political appointments made by Roosevelt and Taft upon the suggestion of Dr. Washington. The meeting of the Negro Business League at Boston, in 1890, was at the suggestion of Mr. Fortune, on the promise of Mr. Fortune, on the promise of Mr. Fortune, on the promise of such a meeting, Mr. Fortune, turning the matter over to Dr. Washington because he was supporting in part or wholly more national and state organizations that he could afford to, and which he remained chairman of the executive committee of until 1907.

The condition of acceptance was made that the regiment should have Negro officers. Mr. Fortune declined an offer of the Liberian Mission under President Harrison, because he preferred his independence as an editor, and accepted a special mission to the Phillipines in 1900, from President Roosevelt, as a matter of service, and came out of the job heavily in debt because the police allowed was insisted on. The government offered Mr. Fortune the collectorship of Internal Revenue for the Newark District at the time Mr. Anderson was appointed to the lower New York district, but the matter fell through because Mr. Fortune opposed the understanding between President Roosevelt and Dr. Washington to give such commanding positions, a half dozen, to Northern Negroes in exchange for giving librarians all of the office to the South Mr. Hope to staff the Solid South Mr. Hope did not see it then, and he does not see it now.

Dr. Du Bois had been attending the session of the Third Pan-African Congress in London and in Lisbon, Portugal, and from there made a journey to Africa to continue his study.

"The appointment of Dr. Du Bios as official envoy of African States the moment of the treaty of Liberia, not only is a fitting compliment to a man whose editorship of The Crisis and his literary work have made him know to thousands of white as well as millions of colored Americans; it is to a recognition of Dr. Du Bios' knowledge of African affairs. The designation is a source of inspiration for all colored Americans." BY WILLIAM BRITTON News comes out of New York that the A. I.

Thus the announcement of the first failure, for the new year of a race enterprise of note comes out of the metropolis. The store was started last year by Mr. A. I. Hart as a co-operative enterprise after getting together enough capital thru a syndicate method to launch the venture. According to information given out by him on the day proceeding were started against the firm, the store has fought a battle due to the presence of those upon it is depended and for many days had been losing upward of $40.00 daily. Mr. Hart explained that he had done everything possible to make the business go, but conditions were against him. It is said that the failure involves about $19.00 in stock alone. This announcement will cause some hard thinking in some parts of the country on the economic aspects of Negro life, but it will be regarded as a "nipple on the waves" in life's New York. Harlem Negroes have made praiseworthy contributions over ten years to build up an economic life that would be proportionately more creditable to their numbers and they have wrought well, but the great city is still lagging behind many communities where the race population is not near so large. However, following the announcement of this failure there comes a most encouraging announcement, and that is the stockholders still retain confidence in the integrity of the manager, Mr. Hart, and are willing to back him in another venture. Confidence: When our business men can retain the public confidence even amidst failures this certainly is a portent for greater accomplishments racial.

The Democrats have come forward with a plan of their own, which they claim will reduce tax burden of those less able to bear them to a greater extent that possible under the Mellon plan. But as Mr. Lawrence says, productivity of revenue is a matter of prime import in tax revision. It is yet to be shown that the Mellon plan will reduce taxes and at the same time assure nominal productivity or revenue. Senator Borah has joined with the administration forces in backing the Mellon plan. He is opposed to a soldiers' bonus and avers: "The great obstacle to tax reduction, it appears, is the proposal for a bonus for ex-service men... If we consider the bonus purely in the light of material or financial aid, and if our real purpose is to assist the soldier in that way, I can think of no greater benefit which would be derived from a betterment of the economic conditions throughout the country. It is five years since the war. These young men are back in civil life. They cannot succeed when business, industry and agriculture are embarrassed or discouraged.

Nashville, Tenn.—Nothing more vividly portrayed the educational progress of the American Negro than the appearance in Nashville, Tenn., of more than 70 delegates of the Phi-Beta Sigma fraternity from 40 of the leading colleges and universities in the Unites States in attendance upon the tenth annual convention, December 26 to 30 inclusive. The occasion furnished an idea of just place the fraternity occupies in college life. The Kappa chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma located in Nashville, saw to it that every delegate and visiting member of the Phi Beta Sigma was comfortably situated throughout the period of the convention. At the opening session of the convention Wednesday night at the Meharry Auditorium an address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Hilary E. Howe. The meeting was conducted by the national Press, J. W.

Mr. George Moore represented the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity; Mr. Price represented the Kappa Alpha Psi Alpha fraternity; Mr. Champion represented the Omega Phi fraternity; Mr. Green represented the Chi Delta Mu fraternity.

In fact, not sufficient history of the Negro race in America can be written which ignores the agitation and constructive work of Timothy Thomas Fortune. This view of the matter may shock Dr. DuBois, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Mr. James W. Johnson and S. St. John waite, Mr. George R.

IN MEMORIAN In sad but loving memory of my dear Aunt, Jennie Burke, who passed away on January 11, 1953, at her home in Hartford, N. C. One sad year has gone and past Since my great sorrow fell, And in my heart I mourn the loss Of an aunt I loved so well. I think the most smile a dawn aunt, Through the mist of falling tears; But your loved ones part is a broken heart. And a burden of lonely years, Your grave I intend with loving care. For part of my heart is buried there A loving aunt so good and kind: What a beautiful memory you left behind. I dedicate the above Poem to her, who gave me encouragement in my dark days towards this poor doomed life and life and this poor doomed life but think of her and continue to keep my head above the waves that destroy.

Community Hospital's Trustees Meet Wilmington, N. C.—Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock the trustees of the Community Hospital for colored people, assembled in Hooper's Hall for the purpose of acquainting friends of the operation and of the growth of the institution during the brief period of three years.

Dr. G. D. Carnes, a member of the board of trustees advanced the idea at the meeting that an ambulance is among the immediate needs of the institution. The idea met with the immediate approval of the men gathered, and subscriptions from $2 to $25 netted $200 in five minutes. A high tribute was paid to the county and city commissioner for their support and to Dr. F. B. Burnett, the superintendent for the careful administration and efficient services rendered.

According to the program we arraded the principal streets of the city before going to the Emancipated School to listen to one of the best programs of the season. in the of march were auto- obiles, buggies, and wagons led by marchals, attractively arrayed in horses. The parade was conducted very good by all who wrote it. The following program was tendered in a way which would do credit to a much larger city than mrs Music, "America" by the Form chair; Proclaiming the order of the day, by Rev. G. W.

Plymouth, N. C.—Judge Wm. H. Harrison, of Chicago, who delivered the Emancipation Day address here, arrived Dec. 31st, and was accorded an ovation by the reception committee and his many friends. The day was balmy and people were here from many towns around, including Elizabeth City, Greenville, Tarbore, Washington, Williamston, Windsor, Jamesville, Roper, Columbia, Edenton and Hertford, and at an early hour began to wend their way to the monument of the citizens of Washington County—The Court House, and hour before the beginning of the program the spacious auditorium was filled to its capacity and hundreds could not gain admittance. A splendid program was rendered before the speaking. The director, Dr. L. S. Mitchell, called the event to order, two sharp twelve stating the meeting of the meeting briefly. Mr. J. P Weaver with much fervor welcomed the vast audience; responded to Dr. Samuel Wiggins a Civil War veteran who, by his speech showed that he had not forgotten the hardships of war by which he helped to bring about the birth of the day. The music for the occasion was furnished by fifty trained voices, led by Prof. M. L. Armstead, assisted by Mrs. P. H. Bell. Judge Harrison was introduced by Lawyer P. H. Bell, the dean of the local bar, who, in eloquent terms traced the life of the distinguished jurist and speaker from the rice fields of Mississippi to the Judicial Bench in the State of Oklahoma. Judge Harrison, as he arose, was accorded an ovation he lastest ten minutes before he left the court, then began the greatest speech ever delivered in the old historic Court House and for two hours the speaker held the audience spellbound by his train of thought and his matchless eloquence. Many who heard the speaker before said that he was at his best on this occasion. The Four Leaf Clover Club dance on Thursday, December 27, was the best in the history of the club.

BURGLAR IS KILLED Memphis, Tenn.-POLice are seeking to identify the body of a buglar who last night, was fatally wounded by Alfred Ousley, watchman, as he was attempting to loot the residence of Robert York, while Mr. and Mrs. York were attending a Christmas celebration. Ousley, who was seriously wounded by the buglar, was notified of the attempted robbery by Robert York Jr. age 11. The boy saw the man enter the residence after the front door was opened by a servant, who was forced back into the house at the point of a pistol. The lad slipped through a rear entrance and summoned the watchman. Ousley and the bandit met on the front door steps and the man fired once before he was shot five times by Ousley. BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SLEEPER Lincoln News Service "Gee, but rubber heels are becoming popular. I remember the time when everyone wore hard leather heels," said the porter, as he polished up a handsome pair of tans, belonging to a gent who had apparently forsaken the smoker for an early bedtime. "Seems to me like everything is changing a n y h o w nowadays," he continued, as he whipped the polishing cloth across the tips for the last time. "What's the matter? You're not a pessimist, are you?" I inquired. You surely ought not to be, from the can understand. I fold that can, and people traveling now than ever before, which means more quarters and halves for you—improvement over the leather ones." I argued "Sounds all right, but it don't work out that way," the porter continued as he set the highly-polished tans on the floor. You see, it's like this," he went on, in an attitude which seemed to invite a debate: "I've been running on a sleeper for over fifteen years, and I'm tired of it—dear tired of traveling; don't suppose I ought to complain, for when that's a man profession, there isn't anything he can do about it. I am 100 years old, follow was always sure of it's pretty high, as you know," the porter concluded. "I don't think it's so high, considering the service," I briskly started. "Service! Service!

You see, the railroad and the Pullman Company split up the fare nowadays and will make from polishing those shoes." I added with a good bit of feeling. "Him. Got to be shown" the porter reported, legitimately. Just then the bell-rang, the indicator registering upper one, "There's that dude now," remarked the porter; and before he could say more, a stylishly dressed gentlemen entered the smoker at a rapid gate. He was fully clothed, excepting shoes, and a noat gray hat and overcoat adorned his head and arm, respectively. Are my shoes ready, George?" he replied by handling him the dandy tans, which he defyed put on as the whistle blew for the next step. "Brush my off, George—I'm getting off now" he said in a persuading tone, as he jingled some coins in his pocket.

Had No No Feelings Toward Her Husband's Af6nity Miss Pearl swore out a warrant for Mrs. Lucy Hall charging her with flashing a gun at a man in his presence. Pearl said that Mrs. Hall came to the restaurant where she worked, called a man outside, talked with a white and then pulled a gun on him. Pearl raid she heard the man say, "don't do that," and turning around saw the patrol in Mrs. Hall's hand leveled at him. When she said what she woman done to her, Pearl admitted that she was not molested by her. Mrs. Hall justified that she had done nothing to the woman and was outside talking to the man. She wiped the man's sweat and wiped that the man was Mrs. Hall's husband and Pearl's. It is probable that Pearl had reasons to be more afraid of Mrs. Hall than Mrs. Hall's husband. When asked if she was angry with Pearl for keep_ing company with her husband, Mrs. Hall said she wasn't, but wished her husband to provide for her and his children. The case was dismissed.

Our death rate in Norfolk has declined in the past ten years from 31.6 to 15.1, which is a tremendous gain, and it reached its lowest level during the past year. Higher average intelligence, better wage returns, better living, and more attention to child welfare, are contributing causes of decline in our death rate. The decline should be steady from now on. It is estimated that there are in Norfolk and Portsmouth some sixty or seventy race churches, and that they have all made great progress during the past year. We have a splendid ministry and a splendid membership in these churches and it is reasonable that they should make material and spiritual progress all of the time. The year we have entered upon should be a banner one for our churches and we hope that it may be.

Doubtful Measure of Discipline It is understood that one of the ciipinary measures resorted to at Boc T. Washington high school in the c of tardiness to a certain limit is cus It is understood that one of the disciplinary measures resorted to at Booker T. Washington high school in the case of tardiness to a certain limit is suspension for the day. If it is true that students arriving at the school a quarter or half hour late are simply told to return to their homes for the day and the matter allowed to go at that, this is certainly a disciplinary measure of doubtful value. Rather than return to their homes some of the young men and women so dismissed will loiter around the streets for the day and form questionable contacts. At any rate, it is reported that such is or has been the case. Any system that forces a student out of school for an entire day, or half day, for that matter, unless it extends for enough to force that student to go directly home, is fraught with many dangers to the morals of the pupils and the reputation of the school. There are young men and women in every school who will lay themselves liable to a day's suspension if it offers an opportunity to loaf: It would be well for the faculty of Booker T. Washington high-school to check up on this situation and if tardy students are being suspended for the day without communication being had immediately with the parents on the matter, such practice should at once be discarded for some other method of discipline not fraught with so many dangers. New Day and New Methods In Foreign Mission Work. The Baptist membership of the race in Virginia has done as much, if not more, for the foundation and supporting work of foreign mission work, as any like group of the race in other sections or States. They are throughly alive and have always been to the active work of the Church, and have furnished some of the best wrokers not only for the foreign mission work but for the home mission work. The Baptists of Tidewater Virginia are among the most reputable and substantial of our citizenship. And all this is said without the least prejudice to the good and effective work of the membership of other denominations. The Mission Merald for December carries a short article by Rev. W. R. Graham, which is full of information and inspiration for those engaged in foreign mission work, or who want to prepare themselves for that work. And there is none that calls for a higher grade of preparation and self-sacrifice than the foreign mission work of our church denominations. Rev. Graham feels that this a new day for missions. Much of the work of the early missionaries in the African field has been allowed to go for nothing. "We are told, he says, "that some of the very best stations passed unnoticed until now it is hard to find where they were located, and from all appearances their spiritual work ended with their immediate converse." He quotes a writer in the Chicago Defender as stating that the early Afro-American settlers neglected the natives while building their now interests, and what "is charged against these early settlers, we are sorry to say, is charged against many of our missionaries." White missionaries are alleged to have done the like thing. A new rule is going to be applied in the selection of workers in the Baptist work. They have got to be physically and mentally up to the highest standard. They are going to be prepared to build a "Baptist Tuskegee" among the natives, which shall train the hand as well as the head, to do things as well as think things, and the Baptists are going to begin on two thousand acres of land in Liberia, West Africa. Other denominations are moving along the same lines. The Journal and Guide has always thought this the proper line of education to make the most of missionary work and to get the most benefit for the natives. We believe that every missionary school in Africa could be made self-sustaining in developed along industrial as well cultural and spiritual lines, and we are gratified that the practical men in the churches are beginning to look at the matter from this viewpoint. And it is not only in Africa, and other mission fields, that we need more education of the hand as well as of the head, that we should know how to work intelligently; we have the need right here in Virginia, right here in the South, right here in the United States. We need it and we can't well get too much of it here or in the foreign mission fields.

The American people have been placed under a very great obligation to Howard Snyder, who has made an intensive study in the South of the question he discusses with so much of truth and open-mindedness in the North American Review for January, under the caption, "Negro Migration and the Cotton Crop." We have had this question discussed infinitely and from every conceivable angle, and we had suppose that there was little left to say wort The American people have been placed under a very great obligation to Howard Snyder, who has made an intensive study in the South of the question he discusses with so much of truth and open-mindedness in the North American Review for January, under the caption, "Negro Migration and the Cotton Crop." We have had this question discussed infinitely and from every conceivable angle, and we had supposed that there was little left to say worth serious consideration, but Mr. Snyder has thrown new light upon it by simply considering the small in relation to the large aspects of the question from the genuinely human viewpoint. Mr. Snyder tells over again all of the impelling causes which have moved the Negroes to leave the farms of the South,—the one crop system, with the deadly store account for supplies; the boll weevil, the isolation and poverty of the living quarters, poor schools and few church privileges, and the horrors of visible administration of class laws and invisible horrors of mob outrages, we get it all anew from Mr. Snyder's viewpoint, with the superior wages and living and school and church advantages received in the North and West,—and he reaches this awful conclusion: "No where on the earth among civilized nations are such atrocious outrages committed against human beings as are committed in the South against the Negro.... "That the South could expect these same benighted people to remain with her and uncomplainingly endure all this, when a twenty dollar bill will carry a man beyond its occurrence, passes my understanding." As to the hopeful whites who think the Negroes who have gone away from the debt, want, privation, and terror, would return to the plantations as the Prodigial Son of old, Mr. Snyder says: "The fact is they are not doing it, and my conviction is that they will not do it. In the North the employers are studying the vast armies of Negro laborers that come to them to learn their likes and dislikes, weaknesses, failures, needs and health requirements. They are not only succeeding in holding the Negroes but getting far better work out of them than is to be had on the plantations." Mr. Snyder's article is a distinct contribution to the Migration question and the causes which make it one of living moment and interest. Free Textbooks It seems that Norfolk city, after distributing free school books for a number of years, has suddenly discovered that it has not the legal sanction for doing so. This discovery was made after two members of Council had evidenced a desire to restore to the city the free textbook system for which appropriation had been cut from the 1922 budget. The opinion was rendered by the city attorney, who is the legal adviser to the Council. Every legal statue is an attempt to give expression to a moral right. And the question of moral right in this school book situation transcends that of legal right. If the city is morally obligated to furnish textbooks to its school children, it should seek the legal sanction to exercise its moral obligation. The School Board, who should be better able to appraise the value of the free textbook system than most of us makes the following comment: It seems that Norfolk city, after distributing free school books for a number of years, has suddenly discovered that it has not the legal sanction for doing so.

We therefore, stand by our request, made in the budget, for funds to continue the free book plan. "If, however, the city council is unable to provide funds or holds that it is contrary to law to furnish free books, the school board cheerfully acquires in their decision." Anything that makes for efficiency in education should not be lightly throw overboard. And it is extremely doubtful that the city has a moral right to discard from its educational system an Anything that makes for efficiency in education should not be lightly thrown overboard. And it is extremely doubtful that the city has a moral right to discard from its educational system any item that has been proved to make for efficiency, especially when its incorporation in the system does not make for extraordinary heavy expenditures. Each parent who has a child attending the graded school will pay doubly as much for that child's books during a single term as he would have to pay in added taxes to make up the $35,000 asked by the school board for supplying free textbooks to all of the children. For instance, books for the term per For instance, books for the cash child will cost the parent from $2.00 to $5.00. If these same books were purchased by the city and furnished under the loan and return system they would last over a period of at least three terms, which would reduce their cost to one third, whereas with the parent that initial cost stands against him, unless perchance he is able to trade in the used books for a discount on new ones. The free textbook system makes for greater efficiency in education and reduces living costs to the taxpaying family. To dispense with it is "putting a head in the barrel and opening the bung hole," in so far as actual saving to the people is attained. The High School Alumni Editor of JOURNAL and GUIDE, Sir: At the end of the old year, and the beginning of the new, it is well for the Alumni of Booker T. Washington High School to take note of their past negligence in failing to do something for the up- building of the school. We as Alumni should occupy a unique pos- ition in the affairs of the community. We should help ambitions students who are without means in order that they may be able to render a finer service to the world. We can accomplish this aim, first, by organizing permanently; second, by giving plays and concerts and third, by having men of note to give lectures. That will not only be a means of raising funds but will broaden our thinking powers 100 per cent. As you all know, the High School has made a record of extraordinary accomplishments in the past, and we as members of the Alumni should assist the Principal, teachers, and the Board in their efforts to encourage the young members to go to college to the and that the Booker T. Washington will be recognized as the foremost vehicle of its kind for imparting knowledge and diffusing intelligence among the people. In conclusion I wish to state that it is a pleasure to extend the heartiest New Year's greeting to members of the Alumni and express the hope and confidence that 1924 will find us wide awake and in the act of entering on a program that will record in a definite way our fealty to our Alma Mater.

A baby is so innocent It loves to coo and play, All free from any discontent Thruout the livelong day. And then, alas, when darkness falls It strikes a different key, This is a cruel word it bawls 'Till taken 'cross your knee.' BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON "Marshing On"—By Ray Strachey Published by Har- court, Brace & Co., 383 Madison Avenue, New York City. Price: $2.00. Postage 10c extra. "Marching On" is an American historical novel covering the period from 1843 to the Civil War. Like so many stories that centre about a single individual the beginning is better than the end. The heroine, Susan Bright, starts life in a rough cabin in the Michigan woods: and when the story opens is a girl fifteen, at war with her surroundings. She wants to make a career for herself, and abused and ridiculed at home, runs away. It is with her adventures that she leaves for her, her career be brought up with the abolitionists and the Negro slave. She joins the anti-slavery forces and later goes to Kansas as a free soiler. She meets Garrison, Frederick Douglass, lives intimately, intimately, with Angelina Grimke (called Angolina, Severance and a disagreeable caricature of the original) and, visiting Gerritt Smith she a real fugitive. Her career is also linked closely with that of John Brown and his family. Susan is a beautiful young woman and her love affairs though she tries to avoid her pass, but it is the cause she espouses that seems meant to be the absorbing part of the story. Only it isn't. There is little vitality in the picture of the abolitionists or of the freescoliers in Saturday, January 12, 1924 ACHIEVEMENTS PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Some one has said that "an optimist sees an opportunity in every difficulty, while a pessimist sees a difficulty in every opportunity." We are led to reiterate this maxim after our New Year's reading of the adverse conclusions of two exemplary wings of the colored press. One conclusion is that the race achieved nothing in 1923, and the other is that it did achieve much during last year. All of which leads us to grasp our trusty pen in hand and dash off a word or two. Laying aside such tangible objects as bank deposits, home-ownership, scientific conquest, churches, prize fights, automobiles, etc., all of which have their place in the "stuff" that Life is made of, we sincerely believe that true achievement has indelibly branded itself in the forehead of the Negro of last year, in the advent of a racial consciousness, the like of which has never before existed. This racial consciousness is not the type that is created by necessity or fear. Rather it is the type which is born of Mother Pride and Father Ambition—a substantial consciousness, affirmatively creating new ideals and accomplishments. There was more joint interracial cooperation in 1923 than there has ever been before. Witness the forceful protests against segregation; for better wages; in behalf of our women and children; in support of Negro business; in behalf of schools and their equipment; in furtherance of funds for worthy causes; and dozens of activities carried forward without "rocking the boat." It must have been this knowledge which pervaded the mind of Prof. U. G. B. Weatherley of Indiana University, when in a lecture on "Racial Pessimism" at the Willard Hotel; in Washington, he said: "When the colored races are leveled up to the white standards, they throw off white mastery." We think that some leveling was done last year and that some more will be done in 1924. We think, too, that this leveling is an achievement. EASY ENGLISH EASY ENGLISH c.

"Marching On," rather there is the smell of the yellowed leaves of books. Those of us who as children heard these abolition from the parting of the soul have have Satan on fire. As it is, one never feels the glow of the gospel of emancipation, none of the spirit of Garrison when he said: "I have need to be on fire, for I have oceans of ice to melt." The author has a perfect right to present the story in her own way, but one wonders why Susan was attracted to such lifeless people as these antislavery folk are made out to be. The Kansas treasiers are treated more dramatically but in the same spirit. The hero of "Marching On" has in him to disclose John Brown's plans to General Loe when the Harper's Ferry raid occurs, while the villain, a drinking, wife-bearing brute is one of John Brown's men. Still, the Kansas part is real, Susan becomes a more vital creature faced with the perils of a freesoiler, and the picture of her motherhood is poignant. John Brown's raid at Pototatowville is described even more brutality then the reality and the John Brown's genius of Kansas. Still he is more real than many other historical characters in the book. Probably "Marching On" is as good a story as can be made where the heroine, a pure creature of fiction, is placed with historical personage whom the writer tries critically to evaluate. Those old days had their fanatics and their fools, but the men and women who cried passionate slaves because of the righteousness, the holiness of what they did. The writer who tries to bring them back to life again must feel the flame of their passion, their hatred of oppression and their love for those who were rejected and despised. New Colored W. W. C. A.

The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 85—Who captured the British General Prescott, in the war of the Revolution? During the war of the Revolution, Lieut-Cole. Barton of the Rhode Island and militia planned to capture Maj. Gen. Prescott, who was in command of the British Army at Newport. Taking with him, in the night, about 40 men in two ships and using muffled oars he and his party successfully eluded the British sentries and arrived undiscovered at the quarters of the General. They found the heavy doors of the lodging chamber of the General fast closed and the little party threw the old a whispered soldier suddenly. Negro by the name of Prince, who was one of the party, thrust his head thru the solid panel of the door and grabbed the General, and putting one sable hand over his mouth, he jerked the surprised leader out of bed. Prince had captured a General. 86—Who was Major Jeffrey? During Gen. Andrew Jackson's campaign in Mobile, the Americans were repulsed and thrown into disorder and Major Stump was forced to retire, a Negro private from Tennessee, by the name of Jeffrey, seeing the condition of his comrades, and realizing the disaster about to befall them rushed forward, mounted a horse and took command of the troops, rallied them to the charge and completely routed the enemy, who left the Americans master of the field. Jeffrey at one received from the Gen. Jackson that he could not according to the American policy, so commission him. 87-What did Col. Alexander Hamilton say of the Colored Soldiers in the War of the Revolution? Of the Colored Soldiers who fought for American Independence, Col. Hamilton said, "Endowed by nature with a poetic element, faithful to trust, abiding in friendship, bound by the old threads of attachment to places and persons, enthusiastic in personal endeavor, sentimental and chivalric, they made hardy and intrepid soldiers. Their cheerfulness n camp, their bravery in battle, their tingu-dey their patient endurance of heat and cold, hunger and thirst, and their bold efficiency in battle made them welcome companions wherever they went.

Confidentially, what I really meant to write as the heading of this article is—are you as good to yourself as your car. But that title took to much space, so I am getting it out of my system in the first paragraph. You can choose either title you wish or like better. I am going to write to you. I please. I have known other preachers to take a text, choose the book, whoop for an hour or so, and never say a word about the text. Here's where the whooping begins. In these "divir" days most everybody has a car or a car for everybody who is anybody can talk and understand, "car talk." Nowadays people are more sensitive about the condition and performance of their cars than about their own physical defects. You insult a man when you tell him his car ratries like a hail storm upon a tin roof, that it is "missing, drawing oil," the carburator needs adjustment and shows many evidences of mechanical failure. On the other hand, he usually thinks are "kidding" him when you tell him he is losing flesh, has a cough, poor color and that he better see a doctor. Every one who has a car wants it to last and perform perfectly as long as possible and he is willing to follow the rules laid down for the attainment of this end. Almost every one wants to live to a ripe old age and be comparatively free from sickness through the years. But how few give their bodies the same care they give their car. Rules of health are neglected and good advice goes by unheeded. But your car—that you oil at every 300 to 500 miles, you clean the spark plugs at regular intervals, have the carbon burned out ever so often, and do the many things necessary to keep your car in good running order. Why not give yourself the same care? Do you think more of your car than of yourself? Are you as good as your car? (Please note return to text.) Now I am going to personal. If you are under forty years of age, you should go see your doctor once a year for a complete examination. If you are perchance over forty you should seek the advice of your physician at least twice a year, you matter, and think you feel, it matters for you, your family and those who are dependent upon you or love you, to have a physical inventory take as per above directions. Perhaps you are not "hitting" on all cylinders, your spark plugs may be fouled, your carburetor need adjustment to keep you from burning too much gas and getting low mileage. It might be well to get rid of that carbon in your cylinders. That "knocking" tells you there's something wrong. Better, you should, before you have a break down. It costs a whole lot more to put the old car in the shop for a long stay than does a periodical looking over by an expert. If you are wise you will take the hint, but if you are not wise, or in other words hard or indifferent, you will take the count. Yes your car is a wonderful piece of machinery or a wonderful bit of junk—all depending upon the care you give it. But your body is still more wonderful than any car ever built, and will fight like blazes to keep from going to the scrap heap, yet you must give it a chance, for when it goes it has a habit of taking you along with it. All who do not want to be junked and put upon the scrap heap, hold up your heads! Then remember if under forty go to your doctor once a year, and if over forty go to him at least twice a year and make him tell you the truth about the "old boat." Guardsmen Rescue Negroes Prepared To Sell Lives Dearly (CRUSADER SERVICE) Fort Smith, Ark.—Eleven Negroes who barricaded themselves in a house in the Catcher community, five miles from Van Buren, late today, when white residents threatened to go on a rampage, were ordered to National Guardmen from Ozark and were lodged in the jail at Van Buren early tonight, while the white disturbers of the peace slept in their homes. The Negroes, who saved their lives by their determination to sell them dearly, were lodged in the jail for "safe-keeping;" lodgment in jail being the extent to which American "law and order" is prepared to go to protect Negro citizens threatened in their lives and liberty. The white population wanted to go on a rampage and skin some Negroes alive because a white woman happened to have been shot by a colored man, with whom it is said she had been going. The Negro who did the shooting is only 15 years old, and it would appear that two crimes were perpetrated, one being that of "robbing the cradle." John Clay is the name of this fifteen year old boy. Clay with Spurgeon Ruck and William Bettis have been spirited away to another jail for fear that the local jail would be stormed. jail would be stormed.
