SECRETARY MELLON'S tax
function plan is as dead as slavvy; but no Administration official
from the President down will admit it—officially. The President
used to compromise with the
publican insurgents in the
house to approve the compromise
some tax rates adopted by that
day, but, on second thought he
angled his mind and the "com-
romise letter" was suppressed.
then his began to be noised at
the Capital, it was denied at
the White House that the Presi-

original position that the Melt-
lan plan must be adopted as "I"
Regardless of the President's
attitude, Administration leaders at
the Capitol tell me that there is
a chance in the world of put-
ing over the Mellon rates.
INFORMATION REACHES us as Senator Walsh would like to top the oil scandal investigation any way could be found to call fault gracefully. The difficulty that the Democrats in the Senate are hopeful of getting more Republicans involved in the oil mess, and the Republicans are just as useful of catching some more Democrats. So the game continues, and the country is flooded daily with mysterious code telegrams and all kinds of intimations involving officials, past and present, having nothing whatever to do with the leasing of naval oil reserves to private interests.
THE NEWEST group in Congress is the "beer bloc." It is composed of members pledged to vote abstention of the Volunteer Effort. Their hopes are high, but as far they have not been able round up enough votes to command a majority.
CAREFUL POLLIS show that here are more than enough votes both the Senate and House to ass a soldier's bonus bill over presidential veto, but the game Congress now is to pass a bonus ill that will meet with the approval of the President. Many publicans who would vota for a mus the first time might be found mong the missing when it became necessary for them to go on board against the Administration. the trend is a way from a straight fah bonus, with the majority fahing a plan whereby the veterans will get paid up insurance policies.

Blind people are said to have a sixth sense which functions acutely and partially recompenses them or the loss of their sight. They have been known to follow activities particularly difficult for people who have normal vision. But I was left to Ether Jones, a sightless man, of Broad Creek Road, to demonstrate the facility of inflicting a half-dozen stab wounds into the body of a man who could see. Jones was led before the bar in police Court Monday to answer on charge of felonious cutting. His detim, Louis Madison, was conned in St. Vincent Hospital. A continuance was had until Madison sufficiently recovered to appear court. Jones was held in $2,500 and went to jail in default. It appears from testimony ofitness, that Louis Madison, Walter Smith and Reuben Constant gathered at Jones' home Saturday evening.

VIRGIN ISLAND COMMISSION FILESAREPORT
Summary Shows Appalling Decline Of Exports, Low Wages, Lack Of Irrigation And Sanitation On Islands.
RECOMMENDS STUDY OF COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK
Washington. D. C., March 21. (P. N. S.)—Returning from an audience with President 'Coolidge, to whom they had been escorted by the Honorable James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, the Virgin Island Commissioners formally filed the report of their exhaustive investigation of the Virgin Islands. Commissioners George H. Woodson, Charles E. Mitchell, Cornellus R. Richardson, W. H. C. Brown and Jefferson S. Coage, who had been duly commissioned by the Federal Government to make a thorough inquiry into conditions, existing on the Islands acquired from Denmark, have compiled in their report a remarkable array of figures and facts, comprehensive in scope and accurate in the story which they depict of the economic and industrial lives of the 28,000 inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, of whom 24,000 are colored.
The report of the commissioners shows that the sugar cane, cotton, and grass and fodder activities, which are conducted on approximately 44,000 acres of soil, together with the occupations incidental to fishing and transportation, comprise the principal pursuits of the islands, and that various conditions affecting the labor in connection with these enterprises have during the past two years, resulted in an appallingly large percent of unemployment. Wages, it is found, vary from 20 to 60 cents per day.
The commission commented upon the fact that during the fiscal year 1921-1922, exports from the Virgin Islands, were valued at $754,729; while imports were worth $1,836,567, showing a loss of trade to the previous fiscal year, which according to the commission's report, is due to a number of causes, including droughts and the fact that St. Thomas is no longer used as a port of call by steamship lines using the Panama Canal and sailing to and from Atlantic ports of South America.
Concerning the native population of the Virgin Islands, the Commission reported that it is "clean, bright, genial, peaceful, intelligent, honest, and very polite."
The installation of a water supply and irrigation system; the restoration of St. Thomas as a port of call; the study of the preparation of Bay Rum in a manner which will place it in full consonance with the U. S. prohibition laws; a better system of education; and suggestions for the special study of the manufacturing and commercial possibilities of the islands comprise the major recommendations of the Virgin Island Commission.
At the White House, President Coolidge expressed, in sincere terms, his confidence in the report of the Virgin Islands Commission, and pledged himself to stand behind it with all the executive power he has at his command. Secretary Davis expressed his full approval of the report.
Morris, On Northern Speaking Tour
Chus, S. Morris, Jr., is now in the North where he is filling speaking engagements. Everywhere he has appeared he has been greeted by overflow crowds. On March 27th he speaks at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Pittsburg, after which he will fill engagements in Newark, Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Detroit.
Indiana University Mr. Morris is planning to enter Columbia University this fall for further study.
THE WEEKLY PRESS
Miss Trixie Smith, who has been starring with the Black Swan records, is playing in one of the local playhouses this week. Miss Smith's contract with the Black Swan people expired on the 15th of March, but on the same day she signed with the Paramount Recording Laboratories, one of the race's most popular records, for two years. Her first records for this company will be out in April.
DISCONTENT AMONG COLORED MEMBERS OF G, O, P, IN VIRGINIA
According to a colored Republican of State and National prominence all is not well with the party in Virginia as far as the race members of it are concerned, and with one district contest already formulated, colored Republicans he declared in an interview with the Journal and Guide, are planning to lodge with President Coolidge direct a protest against certain actions of the party leaders in the State.
In the first place, said this gentleman, following conferences between certain white and colored Republicans prior to the State Convention in Roanoke, it was agreed that some consideration would be given the colored members of the party making up the district delegations to the National Convention. This was not done. On the other hand the newly enfranchised woman vote was simply taken care of. To all appearances the party leaders have not modified in the slightest degree their lily-white tactics in dealing with the colored voters.
CONTEST IN FOURTH
Contesting white and colored delegations will go to Cleveland from the fourth district. The colored vote is in a majority in this district but when the district convention was held steps were taken to exclude colored Republicans from the meeting. Following this action a contest was formulated with Thes. H. Brown, Royal Hart. P. W. Harris and B. F. Harris, leads in the movement.
SECOND DISTRICT UNCERTAIN
The Republicans have nominated Menalcus Lankford as their candidate for congress in the second or Norfolk distrist. Mr. Lankford made the race four years ago, and in the face of the heavy Democratic vote in this district made a very good showing. There is much apathy among the colored Republicans of the district and it is not apparent at this time that they will warm up to Mr. Lankford's candidacy.
"Mr. Lankford himself," said one leading colored Republican "enjoys the respect and confidence of the rank and file of the party, but some of his coworkers in the

DEATH CLOSES A UNIQUE CAREER OF AGED MINISTER
Rev. Martin Williams Closes Half Century of Preaching In Death; Succumbs After A Brief Illness.
ACTIVITIES EXTENDED THRUOUT THE STATE
Rev. Martin Williams, a well known Baptist evangelist minister, died at the home of his daughter at Seatack. Princess Anne County, Wednesday, in his 75th year. Death came to Rev. Williams at the end of a week's illness. His funeral was held at the Union Baptist Church, Seatack, of which he was a member. Rev. A. S. Hoard, pastor, officiated. Several ministers of Norfolk and adjacent communities attended, and participated in the services, among whom were Rev. R. H. Bowling. Rev. F. W. Jacobs, Rev. D. W. Jones, Rev. W. A. Baker, Lynhaven, Rev. D. W. Baker, Oceana; Rev. J. H. Billings and Rev. Trice.
So great was the crowd which gathered at the church from through surrounding territory that many were unable to find room inside the building. Numerous candolences and cologies were read from neighboring churches, friends and communities, attesting the popularity and esteem in which the deceased was held. Floral tributes were profuse and beautiful.
A UNIQUE CHARACTER
Rev. Williams was a unique character, but a devout gospel minister and loved and respected by thousands. He was an Albino. For nearly a half century he had been in the ministry, during which time he organized and pastored a number of churches. For the past 15 or 20 years, however, he confined his activities to evangelistic work, which each year carried him to practically every church in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Princess Anne and Norfolk counties and in sections at quite some distance from his home. He had an insatiable love for revivals, and wherever he heard of one being conducted he was sure to go, regardless of the denomination. His specialty was singing gospel songs, his manner and tune of singing them being all his own. In this respect Rev. Williams was inimitable, and wherever he was in revival the congregation refused to be satisfied until Ole Martin Williams, as he was affectionately called, had been heard.
On the streets he was unique and as familiar as in pulpits, always with a ready smile and to inquire of the younger people who their parents were. In this way he would promptly form an acquaintance.
He is survived by a daughter, son-in-law and other relatives.
Man Claims Two Women Cut And Beat Him

Thomas Jordan or Jackson told a story in Police Court Monday morning of having been beaten by Mary Smith and Annie Haywood Saturday afternoon. Physical evidence bore out his story. He wore a bandaged face and a cut arm. The man related a sad story of
sisted that he did not know. The women's testimony shed a different light on the incident. They said that Jordan and a male friend of his had been in company with them previously and an argument between them precipitated a fight, the men pairing themselves against the women. Mary and Annie admitted inflicting Jordan's injuries, but pleaded self defense. Justice Spindle endeavored to elicit from the man a definite statement of his side of the affair, but he insisted that he didn't know why the women attacked him. The Court replied, "Well I don't know either," and dismissed the warrant. Attorney David H. Edwards represented the defendants.
Senator Ransdall, of Louisiana, Smarts Under Final Smash of His Formidable Opposition. Administration Leaders Forced Action.
Washington, D. C., March 17—Over-riding strenuous opposition of the two Louisiana Senators and their Southern colleagues, the Senate today in executive session confirmed Walter Cohen, Colored Republican leader of Louisiana, as Comptroller of Customs for the District of New Orleans, thus reversing itself on two previous votes. The vote on Cohen today was 39 to 38, revealing a net shift of two votes from the poll of February 18, when the nomination was rejected by a vote of 37 to 35.

jected by a vote of 57 to 63.
Immediately after the rejection of Cohen last month several Senators began to formulate plans for reconsideration. Most active among these was Senator Spiaghett Farm-Laborer, of Minnesota. It was he who sponsored the resolution for reconsideration and in the poll switched from his former position of "Noes" to the "Ayes." It has not been made public who was the other Senator switching, but a statement has been made that several Senators on each side had transferred prearranged pairs in order that they might record their ballots.
Senator Ransall, Democrat Louisiana characterized the action of the administration in repeatedly nominating Cohen and the Senate's final confirmation as "an outrageous proceeding," and out of harmony with representative government. Cohen could not be elected to the least important office in his state, the Senator said "and yet he is to be put over hundreds of voters and tax payers, not only in Louisiana but in several adjoining states."
The action of the Senate today wrote the finale to a spectacular contest raging over sixteen months. Thrice nominated losing out once than inaction of the Senate, twice
Charged with causing the death of the man, Charles Montague, whose funeral she was about to attend, Miss Lillie May Smith, of 540 East Bute St., was arrested by Detectives Nowitzky and Messick just as she alighted from an automobile to enter a church to pay her last tribute of respect to the deceased, Tuesday afternoon. The flush of "the law" into the crowd of mourners and friends who had gathered at the church and the dramatic arrest of one among them precipitated a deal of excitement and commotion. M is s Smith was locked up on a murder charge. She is accused of having shot Montague on or about March 1st. He died Saturday night. Death, it is alleged was due to wounds inflicted by her. When arraigned for preliminary hearing in Police Court Wednesday morning, a continuance was had until Friday.

rejected and serving the office under three recess appointments by two Presidents and finally confirmed Cohen will draw back pay from May. 12 1922 the date of his first recess appointment.
RECORD OF CASE UNPRECEDENTED
The record of the Cohen case was said to be almost unprecedented in Senate annals. He was given a recess appointment November 4, 1922, and his name first sent to the Senate by President Harding at the special session which began that month. The session expired without action on the nomination, however, and Cohen was given another recess appointment. His name was sent in the second time, December 6, 1922, and rejected March 1, 1923. Another recess appointment kept him in office until December 10, 1923, when President Coolidge sent the nomination in for the third time only to have it rejected February 18, last, by a scant two votes.
The statement then was made at the White House that Cohen would be kept in office without pay.
It is said that there has been practically no opposition to Mr. Cohen by members of the force over which he has served during recess appointments.
WORFOLK WINS
SOUTHERN AID
SOCIETY PRIZE
In the most spirited contest for new business held during the history of the Southern Aid Society between twelve of the best writers of Norfolk, Richmond and Washington Districts, for the grand prize given by the Home Office of the Southern Aid Society, Norfolk District won. Norfolk got the jump during the first week, and held the lead for four-weeks. Both Richmond, and Washington fought gravely to the last ditch, but "Norfolk's Mit-tee Twelve" was too much for the Hall clan at Washington, or the Confederates at Richmond. The twelve men selected by Supt. S. B. Noble to represent Norfolk in the contest were: G. W. Nicholson, Robert Johnson, J. J. Glennard, A. N. Robinson, J. H. Williams, M. Nicholson, F. R. Curtis, T. D. Sutton, Jas. W. Davis, W. H. Stokes, H. J. Harris, E. McCoy.
While "Norfolk's Mit-tee Twelve" men were defeating Richmond, and Washington, Supt. Noble's Little Nine men were defeating Portsmouth.
The plan of campaign for these two victories was mapped out by District Supt. S. B. Noble. This is the second successive year that Norfolk District has won the grand prize offered by the Home Office. Both victories will be celebrated by a banquet, March 27th, to be held at the agent's assembly room 526 Queen St., Norfolk, Va.

Pulls Wagon To Rest His Tired Horse
Washington, D. C., March 21—(P. N. S.) The strange sight of master serving his dumb animal was so unusual that all of the office force of the Police Court stopped work last Friday to watch a colored man pulling his wagup on Sixth Street, while his horse calmly walked behind. Both seemed oblivious to the attention and jeering remarks that were directed to them by curious pedestrians on the sidewalks. The old man would pull the wagon for a short distance and stop to rest, but made no attempt to compel aid from the horse. When questioned, he said that his horse had become fatigued after pulling a heavy load, and, not wishing to overburden the animal, he said, "I climbed into the harness and started homeward. That horse is tired. I know he is. He couldn't tell me so. Most people are dumber than animals, ungrateful and lazy too," he concluded, and then resumed his way homeward.

Mississippi Preacher Tells How His Energy Was Restored.
REV. J. P. WATSON
The Reverand J. P. Watson,
greatly loved pastor of the Burns
M. E. church at Oxford Mississippi,
is giving thanks to God for a
remarkable rejuvenation and quick
renewing of his youthful vigor
after he had endured a long period
of suffering.
Without going to the expense of a gland operation, and after having spent considerable money without success in search of his strength, he says that he had about given up hope when one morning he read about a wonderful method that others said they were following with great success. He decided to give it a trial. Now he says, "Thanks he to God I did try it. It is the best I ever used and it is a pleasure for me to recommend it to suffering people." The method the Reverand Watson adopted was the recently discovered korex compound. He says that he secured it by writing direct to the American distributors at Kansas City, Missouri.

Misery Confined Buffalo Man Two Years—Now Vigorous Again.
Mr. A. Beard of Buffalo, New York, and one of its most active and vigorous citizens, also makes a similarly amazing report about a rapid recovery from premature old age and lack of vigor. For two years, Mr. Beard had a misery that confined him to his bed most of the time, according to his own statement. "All my neighbors thought I would cash in," is what he says about it. "I was so weak I could scarcely walk two blocks without being exhausted. I tried specialists and various treatments and finally lost all faith in medicine. I just about gave up when, whe $n$ I read about korex compound and what other sufferers said it was doing for them. So I tried it. Before finishing the second box, I felt ready to go back to work. Today I am strong and vigorous. I am doing very heavy work, working from 10 to 12 hours a day and haven't lost a day in nine weeks. That's what korex compound has done for me."
Many who have felt themselves losing their hold on life, who felt old age coming on rapidly, and were generally discouraged, weary and worn out and who were seekinfi a corrective for exhausted glands and nerves, praise korex compound for its effect upon them. Anyone may try korex with a money-back guarantee by filling out the coupon.

Is Premature Old Age a Thing of the Past? Read What These Well Known Race Members Say About Keeping Nature's Gift of Youth and Renewing Vigor Texas Politician, 69 Years Old, Now "Young" Like Man of 30
R.B.Goosby
Judging from the photograph of Mr. R. B. Goosby, the honored Republican Chairman of the 12th Senatorial District, of Texas and well known all over the State, one wouldn't judge him to be a day over 50. The facts are he is 69 years old and has operated a barber shop in Bryan, Texas, for 44 years. He still works, standing at his chair every day.
Feeling old age coming on more rapidly than he liked, Mr. Goosby tried korex compound which he had read so much about and says that as a result he now feels like a man of 30. "It is the best thing in the world for aged men" is what I say. "After taking half of the first box, I felt so good I would not take a thousand dollars for what it did for me, and for the way I am feeling now. I am like a young man again. My sight is better. I sleep well, my nerves are as steady as when I was 20 years old. The compound brought ready relief when I began to feel my age. I take great pleasure in recommending it to anyone needing such gland treatment."
All those wishing to try korex compound will be interested in the special trial offer printed below.
Realizing that thousands of enbled, half-alive folk may consider such news "too good to be true," the American distributors have agreed to supply a full-strength treatment of the discovery on a guaranteed trial basis to everyone in need of such a preparation. If you wish to test the compound under a money-back guarantee, write to the Melton Laboratories, 9280 Melton Building, Kansas City, Mo., for a two-dollar treatment of korex compound mailed in a plain, sealed wrapper. You may enclose two dollars, or simply send your name, without money, and pay two dollars and postage on delivery, as you prefer. In either case, the laboratories will refund the two dollars upon request. These laboratories are nationally known and thoroughly reliable, so anyone may feel free to accept their guaranteed offer.

RAILWAY TRAINMEN'S LODGE OFFICIAL ENJOYS NEWPEP
Grand Secretary-Treasurer of Race Railway Organization Was "Made Young."
PETER B.
Our friends, the members of the Association of Colored Railway Trainmen, will readily recognize this picture of their Grand Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. George H. Lewis, of 27 W. Jackson Mound, Memphis, Tennessee.
Brother Lewis says that he recently felt the need of an invigrator to pop him up and make him "young" again and, like many others in the same fix, he tried the compound, which he took in tablet form. "It is certainly a fountain of youth. I am like a young man again and feel like I had a new set of glands," is what he says about it. "I can truthfully say that it is everything that is claimed for it and I want others to know about it and get benefitted."
Brother Lewis also wants his fellow Railway Trainmen to give it a trial and if any of them want to ask him about it, he will sure give it a good recommendation.
Porters, dining-car waiters, brakemen—all folks who have to keep all kind of hours and feel "played out" as a result, may be interested in knowing that many say the discovery has helped restore Nature's vigor in cases where many other treatments had failed.
NOTIGED A CHANGE ALMOST LIKE MAGIC
Says Man After Simple Treatment Which He Took Privately.
Henry Cobb of Kinston, North Carolina, is also describing a remarkable restoration of natural activity and vigor after suffering from a run-down condition. "Two weeks ago," he says, "I was in bad shape. I had to take a cathartic after each meal or suffer. I couldn't sleep at night. I was always glad when day came."
He then started taking the compound in tablet form. Then, he says, "I noticed a change almost like magic. The people asked me what I was doing to myself. The compound did it. And I kept right on feeling, sleeping, eating and looking better."
Hundreds of people are taking korex compound to bring about the recuperative results they would ordinarily look for after undergoing a gland operation. And remarkable reports of lasting rejuvenation effects experienced are being reported by men and women of all ages. It is designed as a corrective for gland and nerve exhaustion and contains no habit-forming drugs. It may be taken privately and beneficial results are often quickly experienced.

Church Faction May Sue In Chancery
Suffolk, Va.—Judge James L. McLemore after considering the case involving the distribution of some $3,600.00 in despute between the Pine St. Baptist Church and the faction which left them and is now worshipping on Beach St., dismissed the matter under its present form and ordered that a suit in Chancery instead of under common law be filed by the petitioners' lawyers. This case has attracted considerable interest among the colored people of Suffolk. That part of the congregation which left the Pine St. Baptist, want the money which is now on deposit in a colored bank of this city. —Rev. Bullock of Enfield, N. C. preached for the Pine St. congregation Sunday.

A survey of the conditions ought to be made by health officials and sent to the state department of health. The Negro Organization Society which holds its 11 annual meeting here in November will have charge of the affair in conjunction with the state.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of my husband and our father, Lemuel Bynum, who died March 21, 1912.
Twelve years ago you left us, dear-
one,
Whom we cherished and loved so
dear;
Can we help but feel lonely,
When we do not see you here?
We loved you; yes we loved you,
But the angels loved you more,
And they have gently called you,
To yonder's blissful shore.
We miss you, oh! we miss you,
For we cannot ever tell;
For your chair will stay always
vacant,
Since you went with God to dwell.
But there our faith is strong with Jesus,
Make us all abound;
For we know we'll see you dearest.
On that bright and happy shore.
Mesdames Lizzy Bunin, Lesie Bynum Cooke, Grace Bynum Dillworth, and Maude Bynum Taylor.

County Advisory Board Meets
The county advisory board met at Williams Hall, Suffolk, March 12, at 12 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting was to consider the plan of work for the year formulated by the local agent, D. C. Jones. After a brief discussion on the purpose of the advisory board, the local agent outlined to the board his plan of work. In brief, it is as follows:
To create an advisory board of four or five men from each of the five districts to formulate plans and help the demonstration agent to formulate plans for community betterment in better methods of farming; First, in improving the soil by the use of soil improvement methods; such as planting clover and rye to turn under as green manure crops; second, crop rotation and systematizing the farm business so the farm can be continuously improved by the use of cover crops and crop rotation; third, improve the hogs by the use of purebred boars and the production of pork, by the use of a system of well planned pastures, and produce pork $ \mathrm{O}_{n} $ a cheaper scale than it is now being produced; fourth, improve the poultry and get more returns from poultry by the use of purebred cockerels, culling, better housing and better feeding; fifth, to organize eight boys clubs to give training in citizenship and instructions in better methods of production.
The board unanimously adopted the plan of work as outlined by the local agent and recommended that a copy of the plan of work be mailed to each member of the board so that each member would always be familiar with his duties and responsibilities. Each member pledged himself and herself to do everything in his power to assist in carrying out the proposed plan of work and to form and help to form local organizations for community betterment.
Mr. T. B. Patterson, district agent, Hampton, Va., was present and told the members of the board that they are, each one of them, members of the extension service of the state of Virginia and the burden of responsibility for community and county betterment rests very largely upon them.
Rev. J. J. Posey who was elected to be a member of the board of advisors and attorney L. A. Howell, Suffolk, Va., gave their consent to cooperate in any way possible to help the board carry out its program of work.
The members present were G. D. Crump, vice president, Chuckatuck, Va.; W. H. Crocker, Suffolk; John Holland, Holland; Richard Cornie, Suffolk; Mrs. G. A. Troy, county school supervisor, Suffolk; Mr. J. T. Langston, Whaleville, Va.; Mr. W. H. Pope, Drivers, and Mr. Matthew Jones, Suffolk.

SAYS LATE REV. E. H. HUNTER WAS NOT BORN IN OBSCURITY
Prof. Hunter Desires To "Keep History Straight" Relative To Life Of Nephew Prof. C. N. Hunter, of Raleigh, N. C., writes the Journal and Guide a letter expressing appreciation on the part of the family and relatives over the manner in which the story of the late Dr. E. H. Hunter's life and death was handled in a recent issue of this paper. And, as he states, "to keep history straight" offers to straighten out what he characterizes a few inaccuracies stated in the article. In reference to these Prof. Hunter says:
"The statement that Dr. Hunter came up from poverty and obscurity is not strictly true. He sprang form one of the best known families in North Carolina. Even before emancipation, most of them could read and write and were leaders in the community life of their race. An ancestral uncle—Alfred Craver was a noted Methodist preacher in the days when Negroes were allowed to preach. Dr. Hunter's home was amid the most favorable surroundings considering the opportunities and advantages common to his race. It was the abode of some of the most distinguished Negroes who ever visited Raleigh. Bishop Cain, Tanner, Handy, Turner, Hon. R. B. Elliott, Prof. R. T. Greener, J. C. Price, John C. Dancy, and a long list of others were the guests in our home. His people were a well-to-do people of the most race in the community. Indeed, Dr. Hunter came into an inheritance of character which he was quick to appreciate and make

say's: "To the intelligent, broad

their bumpticusness, and their
provineialism are disgusting.
While the self-centered New

putting on airs, the small town

spends a tragic moment in his
narrative by adding that the
“principal occupation of New
York Negroes is talking about
New York City themselves.”

“The population of New York

President Angell of Yale Uni.
versity in his livst report since
hecoming head of the grext schoo
has spoken on the question of ath:
feties in college. Dr, Angell re
frets that * many parents whe

highest standing man in his class:
es,” and feels sure, “if, as a na.
tion, we are to xo forward it, cam
only he asa result of the uliliza-
tion of our best intelligence.”
President Angell feels, “it
is curtainly incumbent upon
us to exercise every ingenuity
to stimulate intellectual ambi-
tion and in one way or another:
make ielear the signifieance of
sheer intellectual ability.”
There ig beginnings to assert it-
seit a public thought similiar to
that expressed by Dr. Angell, and
the present writer believes that it
should be accentuated. If a check
is not placed upon the present trend
of athletic prowess and Bopulerlly
in colleges to so completely over-
shadow intellectual ability we
stand in danger of shifting entire-
ly the real emphasi+ of 2 college
career. It is not necessary to
think disparagcingsly of athletics to
conclude that after all they should
not constitute the main purpose of
college careers.
There are those who argue
that to excel in athletics bet-
ter prepares the student to
grapple with the problems of
Lite. ‘This assertion has no
supporting evidence. We are
told that Presiden. Coolidge
was of @ studious bent while
in college and never engaged

Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder
and builder of this city, who died
at 1 o'clock last Thursday morning,
was buried Saturday morning in
the town he founded and helped
to mould into one of the most noted
‘Negro communities in the United
States.
Mr. Montgomery was 78 years
old, a former slave of James T.
Davis, brother of the Confederate
President Jefferson Davis. It is
said that after the war Mr. Mont-
gomery served as confidential _man
and private secretary in the Davis
family. Still later he was employ

man bases his demand ‘upon

the cleaning out process should be-
gin with the Congress of the Unii-
red States. The government should

es, the wealthy sent about tieir

opments in Southern Mississippi.
For his distinguished services with
the railroads he was granted 1,000
acres of land, a tract on which he
founded Mound Bayou.
Many distinguished white per-
sons attended the funeral, several
taking part in the impressive fun-
eral exercises which were held
with the faculty and student body:
of the local school taking a leading
part.
More than a thousand telegrams
‘of condolence were received from
various parts of the United States,
lenders in both races expressing
deep regret over the passing of
such an upstanding figure as
Isaiah T. Montgomery. — Among
those who telegraphed were Presi-
dent Coolidge, J. J. Davis, grand-
son of the confederate president.
‘The funeral rites were conducted
from the Bethel A. M. E. Church
with Rev, S. P. Felder, prosidine
elder, assisting the pastor with the
exercises. It is said to be the
largest. and most impressive fun-
eral held in the State.

evs present were Dr. D. B. Wash-

“The view -has been widely held
that salvation is dependent upon
water baptism.” And. there are
certain passages of scripture which
seem to imply this beyond ques-
tion, eg ‘Except one be born
of wnter and the “Spirit, he can-
not enter into the kingdom of God,
Repent. ye, atid le. baptized. eve
yy one of you in the name of Je-
sus Christ unto the remission of
your sins.” Squavely facing. thus
jane’ of the mooted questions. which
hag disturbed the theologians of
‘many centuries, Rey. Richard H.
Bowling launched into a discussion
last Sunday night of his arnounc-
ed: theme, Immersion and . Salva-
tion. Continuing, he declared that
the ‘belies in the indispensability
of water baptism to the salvation
of the soul was reflected in the
primitive practice of baptism for
the, dead, baptism of candidates
naked, without even a ring on the
finger or a band for the hair.
“Also,” said the speaker, “we see
this belief reflected in infant bap-
lism. in attempts to sanctify, the
haptismal waters, and in the, be
Tabored attempts of archeologists,
sgmbololigists and exegetes of ev.
cry demonination to’ ascertain the
}primitive mode of administering
this rite.
An Ernonsous View
“But this view that salvation is
dependent on water baptism wlat-
ever its mode of administration, is
rroneous. ‘The majority of scrip
ture references to salvation pla-
ces the emphasis on repentence and
faith. Both. the carly apostles
‘and present-day. missionaries. at-
tempt. first to induce xepentence
fand faith, then follows the rite
of baptism, If sanctified waters
fand faith, then follows the
and proper administraters and the
rito per se brought salvation, then
the order would) be reversed. No
mere form, not even heptism or
sholy communion, can convey sal-
vation.
SW hat then shall we do about
baptism’? Keep it as it was meant
eho, appropriate contesson
of inward, faith. It is a fitting
symbol of a radical change, &
death to sin and a resurection te

So glad the Spring days are in speaking distance.
The death of Isaiah T. Montgomery at Mound Bayou, Miss., March 6. removed from the activities of life one of the most forceful, useful and picturesque men who ever came to us from the days of slavery. He was essentially a man of affairs. The building of the Mound Bayou colony was the crowning work of a busy life.
Dean Kelly Miller says: "The success of the Sanhedrin meeting in Chicago far surpassed the fondest expectations of its promoters." The working out of the program adopted during the year will be watched with interest, and all of us should render such service as we can in the effort to make it a success.
The Filipinos who have been told they are not ready to have their independence granted them do not like it at all and threaten to introduce Mahatma Gandhi's policy of non-cooperation with the Americans in anything as the best way to win what they want, as the East Indians appear to be doing under Gandhi.

Social Differentiation Necessary

The Boston Chronicle is waging war on the high society of Boston. It thinks that such society is a useless member and does more harm than good. There are certain people in every community who think that any distinction to build up a high society and make distinction between those who are worthy and those who are not, is a worthless job and can accomplish no good. They appear to believe that "all Negroes look alike," but they don't. There is difference between them, just as among the whites. It has always been that way and always will be, as far as we can see, "as one star differeth from another."
In the church the saints are separated from the sinners, and no sensible person believes that the separation is not good for the whole people. In like manner, people separate themselves socially into their own groups, to promote their best interests and to prevent the introduction into their social life and gatherings of persons who may be described as 'undesirables for one reason and another', but who have an equal right to have their own group associations and to draw social lines against others as others draw them against them. In this way like associates with like and gets the most out of life by so doing. Hard feelings do not usually exist between these social groups because each group is satisfied with its own associates.
Social differentiation is just as necessary as criminal differentiation. If the best consider themselves no better than the worst, mankind at large will so rate them, and the rating will not be good or helpful. We have been much injured in the race name and reputation because, in the South at least, white law and public opinion, without any reason in fact, insist upon rating our worst and best as being the same, ignoring social distinctions among us; and, in order to make the unjust rule work, all white people are rated in white law and public opinion as being the same, ignoring social distinctions among them and causing much of the race troubles which afflict the Southern States.
In order to get the most out of living, we must have social grouping which invites the good and desirable and repels the bad and undesirable members of the race.

"Outrageous'
"An Outrageous proceeding," is hereby Senator Ransdall, of Louisiana, characterizes the confirmation by the state of Walter H. Cohen as compulsory customs for the district of H. Deans. Moreover it is "out of hand with representative government"lares the Senator, because "Could not be elected to the leastistant office in his own state." It is no fault of Mr. Cohen, that could not be elected to "the leastistant office in his own state." If representative government prevails Louisiana Mr. Ransdall could not be elected to the United States Senate Mr. Cohen or some one of political faith would be holding Ransdall's exalted position. But representative government does not pro-Louisiana, therefore the appointment confirmation of Mr. Cohen is allow to representative government a rebuke to government by fraternization, disfranchisement or order in the name of political expiry.
"An Outrageous proceeding." is the way Senator Ransdall, of Louisiana characterizes the confirmation by the Senate of Walter H. Cohen as comptroller of customs for the district of New Orleans. Moreover it is "out of harmony with representative government" declares the Senator, because "Cohen could not be elected to the least important office in his own state."
It is no fault of Mr. Cohen, that he could not be elected to "the least important office in his own state." If truly representative government prevailed in Louisiana Mr. Ransdall could not be elected to the United States Senate. Either Mr. Cohen or some one of his political faith would be holding Mr. Ransdall's exalted position. But representative government does not prevail in Louisiana, therefore the appointment and confirmation of Mr. Cohen is not a blow to representative government, but a rebuke to government by fraud, intimidation, disfranchisement and murder in the name of political expediency.
Front Page Position
One of the delicate problems we which the editorial staffs of newspaper have to deal is the contributor who stands in his piece with the boldest that it be placed on the front page. Their tribe seems to be incarcerated, much to the annoyance and embarrassment of editors.
Every member of the editorial staff a newspaper is proud of his shirt may not be the biggest paper in the world, but to him it is the best. It has his best energies and thoughts making it an orthodox newspaper, and arranged in the most progressive and orthodox fashion, and when the contributor comes in with the request that his article be put on the front page editor is embarrassed. Sometimes is justly indignant. Nobody knows well as the editor himself what appropriate for the front page. He leaves to himself the sole right to just what should go in his paper and the notion its news value and other importance entitle it to. That is why the contributor who asks for front position usually gets scant consideration from the editor.
Practically all of the worth of newspapers have adopted the met departmentalizing the news. The annual run of financial news goes in to itself. Local events, social openings, fraternal activities, rela- tions, sports, theatrical and editorial groups. The front page is usually saved for the big breaks in the new happenings of general interest to concern everybody everywhere.
The progressive publisher understands to make every page in his newspaper vitally interesting. He does not make up a good front page to give it at that. He makes the whichevictorative that every page, to the last holds some interest for the rest. Therefore to which ever group distributor's article belongs it will be designed by the editors and the anxious distributor may be sure it will be read. But hardly a day passes in a newspaper office that some one does not teach an editor with the impolite best that his article be placed on the front page. Some times it is merely a matter of personal interest to the writer. Sometimes it is appropriate for religious or social column. Sometimes it should go in the obituary and very often it goes into the paper basket.

The progressive publisher undertakes to make every page in his newspaper vitally interesting. He does not just make up a good front page and leave it at that. He makes the whole so attractive that every page, to the very last holds some interest for the readers. Therefore to which ever group the contributor's article belongs it will be assigned by the editors and the anxious contributor may be sure it will be read.

of the sources of National and International wealth in such a way as to control them, or have a positive voice in their control. Now, the white Christians have, it appears, shifted their persecution of the Jew to persecution of the Negro, and it is the business of the Negro to find a way to overcome his enemies as the Jew has. Will he do it? Of course. He is a marked people, and his enemies cannot kill him nor permanently shut him out.

The New York World, which claims to be a good friend to the Negro, and should be as it is a Jew, has raised a storm where there was none, over the new play by Eugene O'Neill, called, "All God's Chillun Got Wings," because the leading characters in it are a black man and a white woman, man and wife, and the wife has to kiss the hand of the husband, and all that, as if the thing were new on the stage or in actual life. Such a clamor has been made about producing the play that announcement has been made that it will not be produced until April, perhaps.

The World's contention that intermarriage is unlawful in many states and that it is not safe to fly in the face of public opinion in such matters, has been met with the argument that art should not be fettered and that mixing of the races in the drama is much older than Shakespeare's "Othello" and would undermine Christianity itself, which is based on the spiritual fatherhood of the Christians in Abraham; which being interpreted is Father Abram of Ham of Arabia.

It has also been suggested that a white Negro lady could have been selected for the part, as we have white Negro ladies a plenty, instead of a white lady, while responsibility for the existence of the white Negro ladies is entirely overlooked. They did not beget themselves white; they had to be begotten. By whom? By these who howl most persistently and loudly about mixing of the races on and off the stage. It is a queer conditions of affairs, and we have to believe that it will work itself out, as the Jewish question of race and standing has worked itself out, to the satisfaction of the Negro if not to those who spend so much time attending to his business as to neglect their own.
Whether the practise indulged by statesmen, a little while back, of keeping their ears to the ground becomes obsolete depends largely on whether the rural voters establish equi-distant broadcasting stations. The alternative then will be the radio receiver, but everything has its limitations.
THE FOLK SONG
The folk song speaks in words of comfort to the throng.
It corrals discontent and makes it like the song;
It fills us with optimism, as it were.
That drives us laughingly without a stir.
We join the cheerers when the bands begin to play.
Because some note strikes deep that makes us gay;
We sing along with those who're singing off the key.
Our only thought is, we're anxious as can be.
It doesn't count for much at first, but pretty soon.
The idea grows and everybody gets the tune;
Our wonder then is, what the song is all about.
The ears have heard it, we are yet in doubt.
It matters little what it costs we're for the cause.
That branches out and gets the most applause.
The moral here is good for you and me.
"Don't knock nor laugh at fellows singing off the key."
President Coolidge and Our Industrial Opportunity
It is worth a very great deal to our race group to know that the President of the United States, the President of our political party, is not unmindful of us and not backward on occasions in letting us and the world know that he has our interest at heart. Unfortunately for us and the country that was not the case in the Administrations of President Taft, President Wilson nor President Harding. We were given to understand in one way and another by those three Presidents that they wished devoutly that we did not have them on our hands, and showed a degree of irritation whenever they had to acknowledge that it was so. This was offensively the case with President Harding.
Y.W.C.A.
Dr. Sarah Brown spoke to the Saturday at the Abraham Lincoln Tidewater Principals Association School. Her address was well taken and she was assured of the co-operation of all the principals in the work of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Hulcs, Miss Butler and Mrs. Dungee accompanied her. Prof. Dungee assisted by the teachers and Partons' League served luncheon. This week Dr. Brown spoke at the various schools in the city. She addressed the home girls at the Branch, the girl's Reserves at the Center. The World Fellowship meeting Wednesday night was also favored with her presence. Thursday she spoke at Prof. Ridickd's school in Portsmouth. Friday she left for Newport News and Saturday for Richmond. All who have heard her feel that her visit has been one of great benefit. And if her directions are followed we shall be assured of not only good health but a happy and prosperous life. The membership and educational Committees were well attended last Thursday. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. An interesting program will be rendered at the Vesper services Sunday. Please come all. Watch for the announcement of the basketball game in next issue. Meet Metcalf, the lady evangelist, is in the city for a while. She is now residing at the Y. W. C. A., 416 Cumberland St.
President Coolidge has made it very plain to us that he is interested in us as a party group and as a social and industrial force in the Nation, and that is worth much to us, because, say what you will, the President sets the fashion in these matters. He has visited our sick, sent flowers and condolence to our dead and honored our living with appointments at home and abroad, and he has just begun to get busy. Given time and we believe he will measure up to what we have a just right to expect of any Puritan from New England in the White House.
President Coolidge's letter to the National Negro Press Association, at Nashville, reproduced in The Journal and Guide of March 1, was significant in that he recognizes the fact that our newspapers stand for a "broad and liberal view of the problems in which they are especially concerned." and that it is "a sign of our times that gives much occasion for reassurance." And then he added this significant statement: "The colored people, now coming into large recognition for their great place in the industrial structure of the Nation, are already benefitting; and we may be sure that in the evolution of events they will continue their progress." This is a splendid tribute to our newspapers as well as to the race which is striving to make a place in the industrialism of the Nation, in the new and better opportunity afforded them
Subscribers Paid Postage On Their Papers In 1834
Residents of Norfolk born some years prior to 1834 and living today probably remember when Thomas W. Keeling was postmaster of Norfolk. He held that position here in 1834, according to information revealed in the batch of ante bellum receipts recently loaned to the Journal and Guide. On January 1, 1834 Postmaster Keeling issued to one Jonathan Hunter receipt for postage on papers

CONJUNCTIONS
Definition.—A conjunction is a word that connects only. Thus, in baseball "and" football are invigorating sports, "and" simply connects the two words football and baseball. All other connectives have other constructions besides. In I shot an arrow into "air" the air, the preposition "into" governs its object "air" besides connecting it to the verb "shot." In they "that" sow in tears shall reap in joy, the relative pronoun "that" represents the antecedent "they y." governs the predicate verb "sow," and connects the modifying clause that sow in tears with the modified antecedent "they." In Come "where the lilies bloom, the conjunctive adverb "where" modifies the verb "bloom" besides connecting the modifying clause "where the lilies bloom" with the modified verb "come."

"DARKER PHASES OF THE SOUTH"
By Frank Tannenbaum, Published by G. P. Putman, Sons, 2 W. 45th Street, New York its, Price $2.00 Postage 10 Cents extra.
I expected to be disappointed in this book because it was her- habled as unemotional , scientific, and I remembered the youth Frank Tannenbaum, leading the un- employed in pre-war days in the rich churches in New York demanding that the exponents of Christ- tianity feed them and clothe them. There was plenty of emotion in that act; but I admit, the book finished that this restrained judicious student has made a strong case. He has shown and inter- preted a picture that has in it much that is new, and all that is unforgettable.
Five Chapters
The book has five chapters, the two seemed to me freshest in conception, those on the factory workers, entitled "The South Buries its Anglo-Saxons," and the study of tenancy, "The Single Crop." In telling of the factory we do not hear of child labor or long hours but we get to the root of the system, the control of the worker thru the company's ownership of his home. These homes are rented at a very low figure, the company loses on them so there can be no competition, but in return for a low rent the workers gives up all initiative. His children may not go away to work. If they do, he and his family will be dispossessed. There is no democracy. No town meeting, no voting, or if a vote is cast it must be as the owner dictates. These mill-hands give the South nothing, no builders no engineers, no men of adventure, even no politicians. And if you argue with the mill owner and say that the young people should be allowed to leave he answers that he has preserved family life.
The Single Crop
The Single Crop
The chapter on "The Single Crop" shows the dangerous growth of tenancy, and stresses the most important fact that the tenant is a migrant. "He is a wandered and a homeless one. It is estimated that three hundred thousand farm tenants move every year in the United States. In some instances the tenant moves every six months." This means that there is no local improvement. Why plant a garden if you expect to move next fall, or keep pigs and hens, or whitewash your house, or support the school, or bother much about the church? To give a personal impression, I have travelled much and the Southern cotton belt is to me the most desolate inhabited region I have yet seen. What Tannenbaum says of the roving quality of the tenant with Hansen's Norwegian tale of "The Growth of the Soil." A man must own the land to work it with his whole heart.
Negro Land Owners
It is encouraging to read that "In the last fifty years while the white farmer has been retraining to tenancy the Negro has, in large numbers, become a land owner. There are more white than Negro tenants in eleven Southern states."
There is a chapter on the Ku Klux, and one on Southern prisoners that is too terrible to be believable. Mr. Tannenbaum ends by saying of the Negro problem in the South that it has no solution.
He advises us to give up thinking that it can be solved and do the first possible wise thing at hand. His own suggestions are the organizing of the mill-hands in unions, the encouragement of foreign immigration, and the continual migration of the Negro to the North. He would like to see the South have more scapegoats. It would give the Negro a needed rest.

Work for Racial Justice
Stephen A. Gillis, writing in a recent issue of the Columbia, a Catholic paper published by the Knights of Columbus for "Work for Racial Justice," Says in part: "Prejudice is, of course, the greatest obstacle to the work of all, those engaged in the Negro mission field. If we stop to analyse our prejudice for the Negro we must admit that it certainly cannot be reconciled with the teachings of Catholicity. In spite of the civil-rights bills that have been placed on the statute books for several Northern states the Negro is still insulted and humiliated by practically all public hotels, restaurants and theatres. It is almost impossible for the colored man or woman to get service in most of our hotels and restaurants Why? The chief argument of those opposed to treating the Negro as a human being is that to do so will encourage miscegenation. A ridiculous and false presumption from the writer's point of view. Catholics and Jews not only eat together in public places, but they intermingle socially as well. Mixed marriages between persons of those beliefs are very rare. And most assuredly the distinguishing mark of color would be a stronger deterrent to intermarriage between white and black than is that of religion between the Catholic and the Hebrew.
America is the only country in the world that draws the color line. The minute a black American leaves his own country, the land that he fought for and died for, he is treated as a human being. Whereas, we Americans not only stand for this condition, but actually demand ostracism of the colored. We demand that they pay a firstclass railway fare for third-class service; that they pay their full proportion of taxes and still be deprived of representation by franchise in spite of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. We demand that the public school monies in some states be spent in the proportion of two dollars for a colored child and twenty to twenty-five dollars for a white child.
Existing Conditions Points to Chaos
"The colored woman leaves our Northern university, college or high school filled with hope and ambition. But she has hardly left when she discovers that her white chums of college days no longer recognizes her. She learns that the white world does not credit her merit and refuses even to consider it. But worst of all, it gradually dawns upon her that there is an almost universal belief among white men that all colored women are "easy." Then she goes into a mental state of hatred for the entire white race and in this state her children will be born. And we whites calmly take it for granted that those children will gladly shed their blood for us if we ever get into serious trouble.
"The loyalty of the colored American cannot be questioned today. But the oppressed have always rebelled sooner or later, and history has always repeated itself. The Negro is not only developing highly intelligent leaders of his own race, he is being organized as well. We are herding his people together like sheep, forcing segregated upon him, and we do not seem to see that this will give him the better opportunity to concentrate the full force of his organized power to justly oppose the worst oppression that has ever been inflicted upon a race. Segregation is a breeder of hate and race riots. This warning is absolutely not a far-fetched statement of conditions. Almost all the literature that the colored person writes teens with the intensity of his feeling against the white oppression.
"What are we doing? Where will it end? Only the dullest fool would think that such conditions can go on forever, that the colored

PRESENTATION ON VITAMINS
In a recent Radio broadcast leased through some thirty operating stations, Surgeon Gunnings of the United Public Health Service gives interesting information on the development and status of our ledge of this important content of our food. "We have, in fact, says Dr. Cummings, "that food should be composed of hydrates (starchs) and sugars and proteins. We have learned that there had to be philod in proper quantities, have learned to measure the total energy of our food in terms of calories—wood familiar and verbally."
More recently, there has been discovered the fact that protein differs greatly in nutrition, and not only must the lodge its proper quantity of protein every day, but it is quite fast as to the kinds of protein it demands.
The $n$ came the study of $z$ mins, but the advenience of these dies has not changed our previous known basic principles. The knowledge has however supplemented our previous information and added $n$ additional factors great significance.
Study of Vitamins
Our first suspicion of the existence of such substance as vitamins was derived from the study of a disease which is particular prevalent and of great importance in the East, known as berlin. It occurs among people who largely on a diet of rice and dietary origin had been suspected for some years. By a series studies and a number of feeding experiments carried various observers at different our knowledge of vitamins been built up. In addition to dies on beri-beri, observations of experiments were made in studying such diseases as rickets, scurvy and melagra.
As a result of these studies, was found that there do exist tain, unidentified accessory diet factors which are absolutely essential for nutrition and growth. These are called vitamins. They resemble one another at least one particular, namely, they to be very potent in very small amounts. So far, they have the chemical separation in pure tain and they cannot be identified cent by physiological effects.
Vitamins Identified
Vitamins Identified
Up to the present time the are known four of these substances, which are not named, but lettered, being called vitamins B, C, and D: for example care is believed to be due to the of vitamins C, which is found bundantly in fresh fruit and fresh uncooked vegetable many kinds. Richness is believed to be due in part to lack of vitamins A, in which cod liver oil is especially rich. Bert is thought to be due to of vitamin B and so on through out the list. Not enough is hard to make very definite statements as to their exact action and effect, but the fact that such constances do exist and that they are absolutely necessary to the well-being can no longer be decided.
Their function is popular can perhaps best be understood a mechanical analogy which has been formulated by some writer, in which he compare body and its foods to a gas engine and its motor. The organic food stuffs, such as fats, oils and starches correspond to the for the engine; the proteins some of the mineral matters the materials of which the man is made; other mineral matters the lubricant and the vitamin the ignition spark, whose energy is insignificant but which the engine cannot run. "Let me repeat," said Sarg General. Cumming, "that vital studies have not destroyed our ideas about the selection of our foods but have merely given us additional knowledge."
Afford More Knowledge
Vitamins are undoubtedly essential in our diet and without the nutti-fibre and growth cannot be maintained. They are, however, widespread in nature, and an abundance of them will be for in every well-balanced ration.
Let me emphasize this fact: we should obtain our vitamins from our food supplies and from drug stores or from noter vendors; we need select only proper foods to eat and we get an abundant supply of the precious substances.
man can doilely swallow our results, humiliations and brutality and then in time of trouble he to the assistance of the white man who despies him. In all these there is no record of any such city among human beings. Ocasians particularly have fought oppression, and we must not forget that the colored population of America today is in a very low proportion: of Caucasian hardly more than 50 per cent of the total Negro population is血沸ed Negro.
