TTER FEELING OVER OLD-BLOODED MURDER Nashville, Tenn., April 10—(P. S.)—Following the request of committee of prominent Negroesided by Hon. J. C. Napier, former Register of the U. S. Treasury,erner Paey last Wednesday thorized a reward of $500 for the preemption of the person or person who shot down A. W. Brown, prominent Negro groceryman, his place of business on Lincoln Hill streets, about two weeks Race men and women here in a meeting last Sunday raised cash fund of $260 for a reward, after calling upon the governor, reward was supplemented under the reward now offered totals more than $500. Residents of Nashville claim that was a cold-blooded murder. Mr. Brown was a highly respected rescuer of that section of the city and only known throughout the state, and reared a fine family inville. He alleged that Brown was led to the door of his store and not fired from an automobile him took effect in his chest. He taken to the Hubbard hospital but never regained consciouses. According to persons who knew the dead man practically all his life he was not known an enemy. The motive for murder cannot be surmised; slayers escaped in the auto- Nathaniel Dett And Hampton Inst. Glee Club Coming Mr. R Nathaniel Dett, the race's most pianist and composer, will appear in revival with his Hampton Institute Glo Club at the City Army Friday night, April 25, under pages of the local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity the benefit of the annual "Go High School, Go to College and." Mr. Dett, who is Director of Mutual Hampton Institute, appeared this city last year with his Gloe club and Mr. Douglas Gordon, then Kor of the Ledger D spatch, mentoring on the concert said: "It might be expected they would sing Negro spirituals or arrangements of Negro folk songs, with vocal and special effectiveness—and they did. But they sang modern English songs and classics from the German and Italian, the English, with precisely the same degree of positive excellence that could have been expected of a Russian or German male chorus—and would rarely have been recreated. There was not a flaw in their chorus singing, not one." Mr. Dett recently concluded a tour of the West where audiences imposed of some of the country's most famous music critics acclaim him. ives A Version of The Life of Young Woman Murdered Mrs. J. M. Ralston, of Lambert's Point, has furnished the Journal and Guide with what she states to be some facts on the life of the young woman orphan who was killed Saturday night a week ago by an unknown assailant and her body bound in the rear of Mount Vernon on market the following Sunday morning. Mr. Ralston asserts that she and her husband were the last foster parents of the girl whose correct name was Maggie White, and not Lattie White as given in news reports. She says that when Maggie was very young she was left in the care of Mr. and Mrs. White of Titustown. The last of these foster parents died when the girl was 18 years old, she states. Maggie was then taken into the home of Mrs. Cordelia Statesman, also of Titustown, where she lived for six eight years. Upon the death of Mrs. Statesman the child was cared by Mrs. Ralston, a niece of Mrs. Statesman, and who was at last time a resident of Titustown. Norfolk Journal and Guide Representative Display Of Food Supplies; Cooking Appliances And Beauty Preparations. FINE MUSIC PROGRAM SPLENDID FEATURE Surpassing in attendance the best expectations of the managers the third annual Food Show under auspices of the Journal and Guide is being held at Bailey Park Annex, formerly Phyllis Wheatley Garden this week. The show opened Monday night and will continue until Saturday night, April 12, midnight. The spacious auditorium in which it is being held proves to be an ideal place for the affair. The hall is profusely decorated and enough booths are occupied to make a very representative display of food stuff, cooking and heating appliances, soft drinks and beauty preparations. Among the dealers and distributors co-operating are Ballard and Ballard Flour Company, Calumet baking powder company, Gelfand's, Manufacturer of salad dressing, Old Dominion Peanut Company, A Broulet, distributor of Darkies Dream Molasses, Hicks Gas Appliance Company, Virginia Ice Cream Company, Whistle Bottling Company, Chero-Cola Bottling Company and Golden Brown Chemical Company. The crowd, estimated at from five to seven hundred a night since the show opened, has been entertained with band concerts by St Joseph's Catholic High School Band and members of the local chapter of the American Federation of Musicians. Free food tid-bits, and samples of beauty preparations have added to the enjoyment of the visitors. BANNER NIGHT Saturday night is planned for the banner night at which time several prizes will be distributed. Among these will be a fine Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet and a barrel of Obelisk Self-Rising Floor to be given away by the Journal and Guide, and a full size range to be given away by Hicks Gas Appliance Store. Among the special features of the show that have attracted considerable attention and favorable comment are the exhibits of Ballard and Ballard and Calumet Baking Powder. Most tempting bread and cakes made from a combination of Obelisk Flour and Calumet Baking Powder are on display. The demonstrators at these booths, Mrs. H. A. Estes, Miss Davis for the four company and Mrs. Serrell and Miss Serrell, assisted by Miss Banks for the powder company, have painstakingly demonstrated the uses of these ingredients, and the delicious pastry made from them instantly won favor with the big crowd. Obelisk flour has always enjoyed a wide reputation among the colored housewives of this locality, but there is no doubt that following the taste is by the food show crowd of the delicious cookings made from it, it will assume the undisputed base for bread and cakes in Norfolk homes. Baking powder is an ingredient that housewives desire to obtain of the best quality. They know that inferior powder can ruin an expensively planned pastry. Calumet has been proved a wonder at the Food Show. No greater claims could be made for it than its delicious effect in those rolls and cakes that some one at the booth said, "melt in your mouth." Besides its pleasing results in the baking, its economy has been adequately proved. PRIZES LAST NIGHT Saturday night there will be brought to the show an array ofakes baked in the homes fromObelisk flour and Calumet bakingpowder. The first, second, third and fourth best of these will beawarded valuable prizes; the first prize being $10.00 in gold. Another of the most substantial exhibits at the show is that ofHicks Gas Appliance Store.

April 7—With but three more months to run, the Grand Trip to the Holy Land Contest being conducted by the Madan C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. of this city continues to prove itself the outstanding event of Negro commercial life. The contestants for the free trips to Palestine and Paris are waging a relentless campaign, both in the section where they reside and throughout the nation. Entrants from Georgia are receiving votes from New York, Washington, D. C., is helped by Tennessee and even far off California is doing her share. Place of residence is making no difference, for many of the contestants are national figures and as such are receiving support from through the land. The contest reflects the national popularity of the entrants therein. THREE MONTHS REMAIN Just three more months,—April, May and June, of the race remain to be run. The contestants have issued appeals to their individual workers and admirers everywhere urging their personal support in the next three months by liberally buying Madam C. J. Walker's thirteen toilet articles and using the coupons found in each package to vote for them. They are further asked to use their influence with their friends in the contestant's behalf. The contestants have made it clear, how better they shall be prepared to serve Christianity if they can visit Palestine without cost to themselves. THE LEADERS On April 1, the following men were leading the field.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 25th Anniversary of North Carolina Mutual Marked by Splendid Examiners' Report More Than Forty-One Million Dollars Insurance In Force—Assets Nearly Two Million And Every Cent Found In Place. By SADIE MOSSELL ALEXANDER Assistant Artuary The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, North Carolina, which passed its twenty-fifth anniversary on April 1st 1924, has just been examined by the Insurance Departments of three states, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, in order that an official report can be made to the Committee on Examinations of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners. The work of the examination included a test check of the income and disbursements of the company from the original vouchers to the Journal Cash Book, which contains the entire financial transactions of the company. The assets and liabilities were carefully checked. The claim records were investigated as was the manner of settlement with policy-holders. The report of this investigation contains many striking facts to which the attention of the public should be called. Owned By Policy Holders To begin with, the report of the examiners, states that "the company is the only mutual life organization in North Carolina of any size, which is owned and managed exclusively for its policy-holders." It is owned by the faithful policy-holders of the company, and the examiners state, managed exclusively for their benefit. These are indeed facts worth knowing. Think of the ONLY mutual life organization of any size in the state of North Carolina being owned by Negroes and managed exclusively for their well being. Yes, the examiners say that this is the only "mutual company in North Carolina of any size." What is the size of the North Carolina Mutual? Let us find what they have to report concerning this question. After a careful examination of the books of the company, the examiners state that the North Carolina Mutual had on Decem- Works of Race A Section In The Library Build Works of Race Authors to Have Section In The Great Hebrew Library Building In Jerusalem New York City, April 8—Dr. Chaim Weizman, leader of the Zionist Movement, and the Jewish press of the world have welcomed with great pleasure and satisfaction the plan, initiated by The Messenger, of having books of Negro authors to the great Hebrew University, unique and distinctive as the centre of Jewish culture, now being built in Jerusalem. When it is recognized that Dr. Einstein, one of the world's greatest scientists, noted as the expounder of the much discussed theory of Relativity, is slated to be the Director of the University, and that the famous Jewish scholar in science literature, art and philosophy will forgather there in periodic conclaves to discuss and write on the vital problem of Dr. Talcott William The Negro Must The Whites If Dr. Talcott Williams Says That The Negro Must Do Better Than The Whites If He Is To Win Tuskegee Institute, April 5—Tribute was paid to the memory of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute in the most eloquent terms by Dr. Talcott Williams, Dean-Emeritus of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, New York City, who delivered the Founder's Day address here today, during the eighth annual observance of the anniversary of Dr. Washington's birthday. Dr. Williams declared Booker Washington to be "a national leader" who "shaped the opinions of black and white alike." Commenting upon the discouragements which Booker Washington overcame, Dr. Williams said: "There were those who doubted, denied, opposed, and challenged his purposes, condemned his teachings, attacked his leadership, and declared his principles and his pur- born 19, 1923, over forty-one million dollars worth of insurance in force, to be exact, $11,148,747.00. For the protection of the policy-holders on whose lives this insurance is plued, it maintains a reserve fund of over one million and a half dollars ($1,825,119.54). Its premium income during 1927 was nearly two million dollars (1,710,091.11). It paid to policy-holders during 1923 over a half million dollars in death and sick claims ($565,380.97). Its total admitted assets are close to two million dollars ($1,945,521.95) lacking two million dollars by only $54,478.97. Every Cent In Place These figures are so stupendous that they almost over awe us. Forty one millions of insurance in force. One million seven hundred thousand dollars of assets. And the examiners found every cent of it in place. This is not what the officers of the company report but what the Examiners found the "books and records very accurately kept." This is indeed an unusual recommendation for the conduct of a million dollar business in these days of Teapot Dome Scaunch. It just takes such an institution as the North Carolina Mutual to prove what can be done and what Negroes can do and are doing. Yes, in Durham they are handling nearly two million dollars a year and putting every penny, nickle and dime in its place. This is not what we say but what the examiners of the insurance commissioners of three states working for the commissioners of all the states found and reported to these commissioners. How did the examiners find the North Carolina Mutual was investing its assets amounting to nearly two million dollars? What The Examiners Said Here is what the examiners have to say on the subject. "These items," referring to the bonds and stocks, were verified by actual inspection of the bonds and stocks in the possession of the company and by ver- (Continued on Page Seven) authors to Have the Great Hebrew Reading In Jerusalem the world, it is immediately obvious of what great moment and worth it will be to the Negro to have a section of the library of the university set aside for Negro literature by Negro authors. To this end The Messenger has set about building up a committee of representative Negroes to serve both in collecting the books and presenting them to Dr. Weizman in order that it may be viewed as the expression of the race. Mr. Arthur Schromberg, noted collector of Negro books and president of the American Negro Academy, is the Chairman of the Committee; A. Philip Randolph, secretary. All books are to be donated to the Committee which will present them as a gift of the race to the Hebrew University. ams Says That Do Better Than He Is To Win poses, a surrender of the present, closing the door of the future. Too often, he came unto his own and his own accepted him not. His lofty nature, his sensitive soul, his deep desire to meet the duty of the day, were wounded and sacrificed and death came premature to one worn down by heavy burdens. A GREAT LEADER "Many men, the leaders of our day and of the past half century I have known. None had a saner vision, a wider view, a steadier courage, a more impartial judgment. "Emancipation, he knew, and understood that mere emancipation gave no prosperity, in and by itself. Freeing a man accomplishes nothing unless he frees himself from sloth, ignorance and farm.

GO TO HIGH SCHOOL GO TO COLLEGE DRIVE SET FOR MAY 4-11TH GO TO HIGH SCHOOL GO TO COLLEGE DRIVE SET FOR MAY 4-11TH Washington, D. C., April 7—"Go to High School—Go to College week" pronounced by leading educators as the most forward-looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students will be observed this year throughout the United States during the week of May 4-11, inclusive, by the 50 old chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Each year this movement is making a deeper impression upon the Negro youth of America and its influence has been noted in the increase in attendance of Negro students at the various high schools and colleges of the country. This year marks the fifth annual conduct of this great nationwide education campaign to encourage Negro youths to continue their education. During the year 1923 more than three million parents and students were reached through circulation of literature, the display of placards, through the press, and the holding of meetings of the chapters and members of the fraternity in the various sections of the United States. MESSAGE To BE BROADCASTED BY KADDI The campaign to be waged this year promises to be more effective than those of previous years. In addition to the meetings to be held in the various cities of the country, plans are under way to have the gospel of "Stay in High School, and Go to College" broadcasted from the important radio broadcasting station in every large city in America. THE VIRGINIA ANNUAL CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH IN SESSION THE VIRGINIA ANNUAL CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH IN SESSION The Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church convened at Emmanuel A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Wednesday morning, with Bishop J. Albert Johnson, presiding. A large attendance featured the first session and the Vested Choir of thirty-five voices served at the Holy Communion, with Prof. Hiram Simmons at the organ. After preliminary services, Bishop Johnson was introduced by the Rev. M. E. Davis, Presiding Elder of the Portsmouth district. Bishop Johnson's opening remarks were a commendation on the work of the various members of the conference. Special emphasis was placed on the work of Rev. J. R. Hawkins, who is considered to be one of the most prominent figures in the A. M. E. Church. "He is one of the most loved and contented Laymen we have," said Bishop Johnson. "He is especially noted for his integrity, ability and fidelity," he further stated. AN ENTHUSIASIC OPENING The opening meeting was marked with enthusiastic interest by both members and visitors. This being the last year for subscriptions to be received for the benefit or Kittrell, the Bishop urged all members who have not yet subscribed, to do so as soon as possible. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR The bulk of the fund will go to the boys' new dormitory, which Bishop Johnson says is the finest he has ever seen anywhere in the country. BANQUET Tuesday night was featured with a Welcome Reception and banquet to the Bishops, Ministers and other guests of the Virginia Annual A. M. E. Conference. Interesting talks were rendered by the various pastors connected with the conference, including the welcome address on behalf of the Methodist clergy of the city (white), by the Rev. Thomas R. Reeves, of the Monumental A. M. E. Church. The Conference ends Sunday night, April 13.

Old Dominion Inaugurates Daily Sailings The Old Dominion Steamship Company has added a fourth ship to its Norfolk-New York service, giving daily freight sailings and increasing its passenger sailings. The steamship Herman Winter, which has been substituting for the regular vessels will go on a regular run. The passenger vessels will work on the following schedule: This week a sailing everyday except Wednesday; next week every day except Monday and Friday. Thereafter, alternately there will be five passenger sailings one week and four the next, while the Herman Winter will carry freight only on the off days. The passenger boats also carry freight. With the season opening for many race travelers to go to New York and the northern summer resorts the new schedule will afford a distinct convenience to them. The passenger steamers, Hamilton, Jefferson and Jamestown have been put back in service after a thorough overhauling and it is asserted that accommodations afforded colored travelers on these ships are of a very high class. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers ASK THAT WELLS BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN HALL ASK THAT WELLS BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN HALL One Hundred Young Men Sign Petition Urging That Wells Be Allowed To Remain In Furnald Hall. DEAN HAWKES FIRM IN SUPPORT OF STAND New York, N. Y., April 7-Dean Hawkes, Chairman of the Committee of Residence Halls of Columbia University remains unshaken in his determination to ignore the petition of several young men residents of Furnal Hall urging the ousting of Frederick Wells, Negro law student, from residence in the building. Wells recently moved into the building and his residence there has created considerable protest while other students have rallied to his support. A demonstration in which the fiery cross, symbol of Ku Klux Klan, was burned on the campus opposite the hall was staged Wednesday night for the avoided purpose of intimidating Wells and forcing him to give up his lodgings in the building. The protest, against the colored law student has been led by J. A. Rucker, of Norfolk, it is said, a senior law student and Chairman of the Hall Committee. Following the commencement of Witness day night detectives, members of the New York Bomb Squad, have guarded the building against uncertain developments. A counter petition containing 100 signatures, more than half of the residents of the hall, has been presented to the University authorities requesting that Wells be allowed to remain in his quarters and asserting to the effect that the petition presented by young Rucker and his supporters deliberately misrepresents the sentiments of the majority of students domiciled in the building. DEAN HAWKES STATEMENT Dean Hawkes' statement indicated that those who wanted Wells ousted would get scant comfort from the authorities. "The residence halls of the University are for the benefit of all the students," he said. "If a man finds his surroundings uncongenial there is no need for him to stay. There are waiting lists of hundreds, and any vacancies can be filled at once. "It has not been the usage to exclude men from the residential halls on the ground of their parentage. At the time application is made for a room, there is no inquiry into the race of the applicant. "There have always been Negroes at Columbia, as well as students of other nationalities, and no discrimination is countenanced against any." J. B. Rucker of Norfolk, Va., Chairman of the Hall Committee of Furnald Hall and leader in the fight against Wells, refused to deny or affirm Klan connections. While the campus was buzzing with rumors, Lawrence R. Goldberg of Marblehead, Mass., a member of the Hall Committee of Furnal Hall, announced his resignation because of adoption by the committee, Tuesday, of a resolution urging university authorities to ask Wells to leave. At least four other members are expected soon to resign. In resigning, Goldberg attacked Rucker for "deliberately misrepresenting the feeling of the majority of students in the hall with regard to the Wells matter." "I believe Mr. Rucker, self-appointed Chairman, is not the type of man I desire to associate with," Goldberg said. (Continued on Page Six) Millville, Va., April 9—Following a brief quarrel between Junius Sykes and Miles Griffin, the former shot and instantly killed the latter here Thursday afternoon. The shooting precipitated a furore in this quiet little village. Sykes has not been captured. The cause of the argument between the two men is not known, although it is asserted in some quarters hereabout that it is believed that illicit loquor transactions had much to do with the killing. Both of these young men were very well known in the community and the tragedy has mystified their friends. The remains of Miles Griffin were interred in Deep Creek cemetery, Saturday. “PAGE TWO S-O-C-LE-F-Y The Norfolk Journal and Guide Smlicits revurts of club meetings, marriages, ugase- ments, soci:ls, etc, cic.

He was sent back there to again try his luck. Emma Ellis was arraigned on a charge of not being of good fame. A white man was arraigned with her. The arresting officer alleged he found the man in the house with Emma. Emma admitted the man was in her home, but alleged that she called him in to repair her electric lights which she said were out of order. It did not seem entirely clear to the court why she would call into her home a stranger, and a white man, to fix her lights, without even knowing if he were a light fixer. She paid $20 and costs.

Bernard Young, Jr. Chances For Wills- Demsey Bout. At last the man who has been the one that could stage a Wills-Dempsey bout has started in that direction. Wills has been patient waiting ever since Dempsey became the heavyweight title holder for his chance at the world's heavyweight crown, the pinnest prize in pugilism, until recently there were no indication or inception on the part of some to let Wills have the chance he sought and which this sporting world clamored for. All along the plea has been, in explanation of the rebuffs and that refusal, that the contest had "too much potential danger to be punished in any part of the course," this excuse has been sufficiently prevent to dase a bout between Wills and Dempsey in the past. The fact that Richard has sigged Wills to a contract for a series of bouts leading up to a championship bout, providing Wills survives his preliminaryities, indicates that that excuse is being knock down, and that the belief is that the athlete in a Negro and white man is not any more dangerous than other kinds of competition. In fact, the belief is that the bout will be more beneficial than detrimental. No Wild Plunge Tex Richard is not in the habit of plunging wildly or blindly into his houts. For that reason it is logical to suppose that he has carefully weighed official sentiment, forough sport followers have mandated a meeting to guarantee even this early that the arena in which the fight will be held will be taxed to its capacity. The Conditions The Brown Panther must first wallop into submission one of three men, or possibly two, before he will get the Dempsey bug. This appears to us to be entirely unfair in some respects. Firpo, a fighter with qualities other than a hefty right wallop, did not attack the two maters, and some of those he had difficulty with.

There has been but one book ever written that is perfect material for the screen without revision, deletion or retelling. That book has had the greatest tale of any volume ever published, yet there are no royalties to be paid its authors by a motion picture producer. That book tells the greatest love stories of all time and offers the finest possibilities to the producer entering enough to envisage its wealth of hidden worth. I refer to the Bible, the old Testament, "AFTER SIX DAYS" featuring Moses and the TEN COMMANDMENTS, playing the entire week of April 15th as --- reason that few would fight him. The present arrangement, has its fair aspects, and in a deep sense it is only fair to himself and to the public to demonstrate his qualities before boxing the champion. But the trouble is that when Wills was, as he is really now, the only real contender Dempsey and his manager refused to fight. The choice of a rival rests with Rickard. He has Romero-Rojas, Spalla, and Firpo. It is generally conceded that Rickard prefers Firpo, and will do all he can to engage Firpo in a bout with Wills. Both Spalla and Romero-Rojas are crude, but they can be developed if it is a Spanish move to develop a boxer to test a challenger. Why not come right out with the bout? Wills needs no developing. Football Changes The four football changes recently made that are distinct were discussed last week somewhat briefly. They were the abolition of the tee kick-off, and mid-field kick-off instead, the increased penalty of from two to five yards, for taking time out more than three times in one half, the power of the referee to call time out when a team is stalling, and the power to refuse time out when substitutes are rushed in to delay the game. The one which will make the most noticeable change in the playing is the one to abolish tee kick-offs. Time has been lost by the spurring around to gather mud for the building of trees and often more precious seconds have been lost by having the wind blow the ball off the tee. In fact all of the rules have been changed in purpose of keeping the play in motion as much as possible. The try for the extra point after touchdown will be made from the three yard line and of course will encourage running attacks. The midfield kick-off will probably lessen the chances of many spectacular runs from the kick-off. The teams must either formetter interference for the runner or the opposing team will downclass the runner before he has gone very far.

STAR HAMPTON 4 ST. PAUL 3 P. Recard Young, Jr. Hampton, Vn., April 5—Arthur Ruffin, veteran pitcher of the "Scasiders," reserved his most impressive effort for the final six innings of Hampton's first game of the season with St. Paul. Coupled with what turned out to be rather air-tight turn, Hampton batted, and sensational fielding, Hampton won the game by a 4-3 score. Holding the "Tigers" to three scattered hits in the final six frames, Ruffin turned what started to be a St. Paul victory into a Hampton victory. A double by Gunn, followed by a two bagger by Jackson, and a sacrifice hit by Johnson, gave Hampton the run that tied the score in the eighth inning. Gunn brought in the tying run and Captain Jackson comped home with the winning tally after he brought two singled second and happened in the eventful eighth. Before this St. Paul had been leading by one run since the third frame. Both pitchers were very effective. Ruffin settled down and was unittable, except for mezzanine grounders or pop players. Both struck out six players each. Several of the fielding features of the game were; Jacob's catching of a fast one off the but in a difficult position; Lambright's all round fielding; and a fast double play.

Winter, garbed in its heavy blankets of snow, sleet cold wind and rain, is hanging on despairingly, but the old boy, will have to let go. With the first attack of spring fever we turn back to our old love, the Sea, and grow ardent for the time when we can sally forth and flirt with him. The soda Renda dezvous! the open door, the gray awning—red and white, often blathering when the old grey cat asleep in the window-league—perfect symbol of spring with the snow still patching spots in the back yards. To go boating, to sing and drift under perfect skies, or shimmering heaven-hued waters with winter far far away. And the peaceful beach beneath shaded trees with the books and other things you like—minus heavy coats and overcoats. Jackson at catch. Hargrove in the field, and Alexander at third, were especially good in the first game of the season. In fact, all of the players showed encouraging work. Wallace was the bright star of the Tigers' in the box. Maddux was catcher in Maddux, the field were especially good. All in all St. Paul showed a team of which all may be careful of.

Feeling the guiltiest of the two, I sat down, wishing that I was a thousand miles away. Hearing the recital of a sordid tale of faithlessness from the victim accused of that faithlessness, are two widely separate things. It might be natural for a man to tell his woes to another man to whom he trusts, but it isn't natural for a woman to confide to that degree in a man who is a sworn friend of the person suffering from the consequences of the folly. I did not want to hear Carolin's story, but human curiosity compelled me to sit there and After all it was not a long story. It commenced with the brutish incident that transpired in this same parlor on the morning that she returned home four hours after midnight with the stranger, and ended with the declaration that he was in Chicago for the purpose of allowing her the opportunity to file divorce proceedings on the grounds of desertion. their mother. "And" she added, "he says that he will not come back until after the divorce is applied for." "And are you going to apply for a divorce?" I asked. "No," she said. We talked a little while longer; and I was on the edge of departing, when suddenly she burst into a fit of uncontrollable weeping. They say that a woman's tears can move a heart of granite. That might be so and it might be a myth that hasn't been exploded yet, but I confess that when she gave 'way to her emotions in that wild fashion I was upset. But I did not attempt to console her. It is next to impossible to console a weeping woman. After a little the storm passed and the sobs spent their force, but the anguish of her soul was not assuaged. BEAUTY New and better PARLORS AND barber shops are BARBER SHOPS coming on the field steadily in Norfolk. In fact, the old time shop with the dirty floor, checkerboard, peanut hulls and the unsightly cuspidor will soon be as extinct as the dodo, at least in this city. Not a bit outdone, however, are the beauty parlorers. Maybe, it is the lead set by these establishments that the barbershops are following. Several up-to-date beauty parlorers are now conveniently located in the business district. With the large number of good barbershops and beauty emporiums the population of Norfolk stands in a fair way of becoming the best groomed in the South.

I informed her that I was, as calmly and sincerely as I could. "Then will you do something for me," I promised her that I would. "Influence George to return here," she said. Use any means at your disposal. Go to Chiego and drag him back if needs he, and I'll pay for it, but get him back here." I promised her that I would do my best. "I have been a very foolish woman," she groaned. "A very, very foolish woman. I have made the mistake that many women make without thinking. I waited on time. I procrastinated. Now you see the folly of it. Had I told George in the beginning we would now be happy together. Our little home would be in tact. Our domestic peace would be assured. But I was a fool. I was afraid to tell him. We women are foolish in that we are afraid to trust those whom we love most. That is why many of us are unhappy. Will you try your best to induce George to return here?" "If it means a reconciliation," I said, fervently. "I will get him back if I have to carry him all the way." "Not a reconciliation," she said quickly, in hurtful tones, "I do not hope for that. All that I want to do is to show him the story—not tell it to him. I want him to see with his own eyes. I want him to learn the thing that I should have told him a year ago. He will still continue to hate me—but he will know. Maybe in time his hatred will soften—for I actually deceived him—but if it does not, then I will have done my duty." There was the whole thing in a nutshell. She had confessed—to me. My theory of the "old lover" was correct. She had made the mistake that many women have made since time immemorial—she had married George in an attempt early and hot breakfasts, heavy lunches and elaborate dinners, like their mothers who cared for ten children and ten rooms had. There used to be a saying that the best way to get to a man was via his stomach. That doesn't mean much in the day of flapper wives. They leave that to the restaurant cooks. And I suppose the better kind of service that is more generally prevalent in some these establishments has much to do with the change.

Altho she confided in me to this extent she did not reveal to me the identity of her mysterious escort nor did she say anything in connection with her failure to be home at 3 o'clock on that fatal mornings. That part of the story was clothed in mystery. She had begun her story with the quarrel and had not gone beyond that. With a mixed feeling I took my departure from that house. I did not know what stand to take. Before she told her story I was willing to concede her the benefit of the doubt. But after she confessed that she had actually accused George I couldn't very well esteem her as highly as formerly. But I respected her request to bring George back. It was for George's sake. It was his place to know why she had practiced this deception upon him, and she was willing at last that he should know. I was successful in my mission. It required a deal of persuasion to overcome George's innate stubbornness, but at last I conquered him. We arrived home at night, and I immediately telephoned to Carolin'. I could detect the gladness in her voice as she answered me over the wire. She invited me to call on her the next afternoon without letting George know anything about it. She added that if I was his friend I would comply. She was gladly getting on my nerves about this friendship thing, but I promised her that I would call. Promptly at 2 o'clock the next afternoon I was on the scene. She locked far different on this occasion than she had on the last.

A. Rogers, is now out in book form as a result of the great demand from the large number of those who read it serially. seemed more cheerful, happier, and younger. In fact she was the same little Carolin' I had known months before—the same little trustful Carolin' that deserved the honest love and protection of any man. This book is without a doubt the greatest and most popular one that has ever been written on the race question. It is not too much to say that it answers every argument that has ever been advanced by enemies of the race and does so in most masterly style, sweeping the ground entirely from under the We had tea and following that, we put our heads together and discussed the problem of which I had become a part. She outlined a plan of action to me that left me in a state of utter bewilderment. She stated frankly that she came to the decision to bring her husband and the man together under the same roof so that her husband could see for himself why she had practiced a deception upon him, and in the event that he would understand the victory would be half won. If he would fail to understand, of if he would allow his stubbornness to overrule his better judgment, if he remained intolerant, her case would be lost forever and she would pass out of his life to bother him no more, but in spite of the danger that he would fail to understand she was willing to take the chance. It was for him she was doing this, you see. Not to win back his affections, for she believed that he despised her too much now to ever love her again as he once had, but to prove to him that she had not deceived him without a cause. During thathetic conversation I learned to my full satisfaction that she loved him. You can tell when a woman loves without hearing the confession of her heart. Worldly wise women may be able to conceal the hot passions that seethe in their bosoms, but good women, the kind who know how to keep house and train babies, are too guilleless to hide the evidences of their loves under a veneer of ostentation. It shows in their smiles, their books, their laughter, their talk, their gestures. I knew that she was hungering for him. I knew she wanted to caress and fondle him with her hands. And knowing these things my sympathy went out to her in spite of the fact that she had confessed that she had deceived him. In bringing this man and her husband together, she explained, it must be done in such a way as to make them both believe that the meeting was accidental. That is to say, it must not be known that it had been planned by her. Once face to face with this man, George would learn the whole story, would see it, in fact—but it was necessary that he remain in ignorance of the part she was playing in it. I asked her how this could be brought about. She straightway diagrammed the whole thing. I was to go to George and inform him that I had discovered the theath of the unknown escort. Naturally George would want to know the location of the house. I was to carry him there. We were to arrive at or near it o'clock in the evening. The man would be there and so would Carolin'. It would be so arranged that George and I would encounter no difficulty in gaining admission to the house. Then the story would unfold to the house. Mad, fanciful, crazy, unreal! That is what I thought after I learned the details. What good would come of it? What sort of story would be unfolded—would unfold itself? What complications were they the understanding of which would mean so much to George—and her? We would go there and find this man. Carolin' would be with him. There wouldn't be a story—unless you would call the tragedy that would follow a story. What foolish fancy induced her to formulate the idea of letting her husband catch her in company with the man he had every reason on earth to hate. What woman ever dreamed of such a mad thing before? She was merely preparing to dig the pit a million feet deeper. She was doing worse than that. She was playing with two apparently desperate men with no more purpose in view than to prove that the fittest sometimes survives. I reproved, argued, orated, and tried to reason, but she would not listen. She made her plans and was determined to carry them out. In the end she might find herself in a worse predicament that she was now in, but there was no other alternative. When I mentioned the possibility of a tragedy, she quickly informed me that no matter what happened, no matter how the deserate adventure terminated, George Essex would not suffer injury. There was only one person that stood to lose. That was herself. 742 DIGESTINE Uues for Dyspepsia, Sluggish and Torpid Liver and various forms of Stomach and Bowel Troubles and their effects such as Indigestion, Heartburn, Fermentation Sick Headache, Constipation, Biliousness Sour Stomach, Platation, Internal Nervousness, Sick Stomach, Colic and especially useful after excessive use of Alcoholic Stimulant or Heavy Eating. Price 35c Prepared by Highland PHARMACY 742 Church St. This book is without a doubt the greatest and most popular one that has ever been written on the race question. It is not too much to say that it answers every argument that has ever been advanced by enemies of the race and does so in most masterly style, sweeping the ground entirely from under the feet of those who claim superiority as based on color. In its pages all the most debated points such as relative mentality, physical and facial beauty, sex instinct, chastity, odor, truthfulness, health, honesty of the two races are discussed and compared, as well as politics, the slavery of white people in Colonial America and other parts of the world, intermarriage, cannibalism a monog white people, religion, ancient Negro civilizations, attraction and repulsion of the two races, lynchings are all dealt with in a gripping interesting argument between an anti-Negro Senator and a highly educated Pullman porter on a car bound for California. This book sweeps the circle of all the social sciences, working them all up into a presentation so clear that the simplest can read and understand and yet is so fortified by proofs from the greatest scientists and thinkers of all times that there is no joint in its armor in which the keenest spear of the most learned adversary of th the Negro may enter. It gives the young Negro the historical authority that his race founded great civilizations, has ruled over areas as large as all Europe and was prolific in statesmen, scientists, poets, conquerers, great religious and political leaders, the arts, crafts, industry and commerce when the white race was wallowing in barbarianism or sunk in savagery. The New York Evening Post very rightly said of it: "This porter, who had attended Yale, had travelled extensively and spoke several languages, had at his fingers and all the arguments necessary to prove that his race is not a whit inferior to the Caucasus." Because of its fearlessness there has been a determined effort to suppress it in certain quarters. Nearly every publisher of note refused it, and it is barred from many of the leading libraries through the country. It has, however, found its way into many leading centers of learning, among them being Columbia and Chicago Universities. Prof. Z. Baker, formerly of Chicago University, said: "From Superman to Man" is the best literature I have read on the subject. I am placing it on the required reading list for my classes." This great book is in its fourth edition. It has been rewritten and contains much surprising new and up-to-date information. All in all it is a book that no Negro can afford to do without, as with its aid he can effectively demolish every argument his enemies of the other race brings out against him.

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER So that every lady and gentleman may see just what Hi-Ja By William Britton In a single edition of the local morning journal this week appeared two news stories having to do with alleged activities of college students, both of which carried implications of a most fragrant disregard for America's law by young America. In one of these stories it was stated that H. Green Miller, chief prohibition agent for Kentucky and Tennessee, had announced "that he had information certain Louisville High School girls had been "cutting" classes to use their automobiles for illegal transportation of whiskey, and that an investigation had been begun by Federal prohibition agents and the city board of education." The other article told of the burning of the fiery cross on Columbia University campus opposite Furnall Hall where a Negro student, Frederick W. Wells, resides, in an attempt to intimidate and oust him by a group of white robes and hooded men. Athio, it was not made clear whether the men were burning the hoods and robes were Columbia students, it was stated that the movement to oust Wells was led by a student of the school of Southern nativity. People who hold in their $2,000,000 Found Intact 82,000,000 Found Intact This is what the examiners had to say. Not what the officials of the North Carolina Mutual reported. Their assets of nearly two million dollars were found intact and invested in first mortgages loans on Real Estate, Government, State, County and Municipal Bonds Bank and Utilities stocks. Every cent was in its place! The books and record of the company were very accurately kept! And the company itself, the ONLY mutual life organization in North Carolina of any size. These are facts that should be heralded from coast to coast, from land to land. Truly they are invincible arguments for the possibilities and successes of Negro financiers. The North Carolina Mutual did not attain this position like Tonay. It did not just aimlessly grow. It has taken exactly twenty-five years of unselfish labor to make this institution. April first, 1924 marked its first milestone. We are pleased to note in the report of the examiners that they did not overlook the man who has kept behind the helm of every year and day of these twenty-five years and his faithful colleague, who shouldered the burden with him for twenty-one years. We refer to C. C. Spaulding, President of the North Carolina Mutual and J. M. Avery, Vice-President and Secretary. Of these two men the examiners say in their written report, "These men, especially the President, who was with the company from the beginning, are the active officials, who should be given credit for its efficient management." Commissioner's Estimate What more crowning success could come to an institution and its officers than in its twenty-fifth natal day to be presented with such a report, as the official examination of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners. This is a summary of their estimate of the company:— "A company efficiently managed whose books and records are very accurately kept, which is the only mutual life organization in North Carolina of any size that is owned and managed for its policy-holders." Negro men and Women of America take courage when you see with your own eyes an institution owned and managed by Negroes for whom such praises are sung, after twenty-five years of existence, by the official examiners of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners.

Clay Street, Richmond, Va. fare of the nation and hope for its future stability are disquieted by these alleged activities of the class of youth whose training and fitness and perspective on life must determine whether this nation shall stand or crumble. For selfish interests, if for no other reason, those who hope for the future stability of the country should arouse themselves against racial intolerance and contempt of law as are on the increase among college students. In the checkmating of these cankerous influences lies the permanency of the empire. Mob spirit in colleges holds serious forebodings for America, and disrespect for law by young college women is a question that strikes at the roots of a democracy. Notice is being sent out from Richmond to police chiefs of the state, calling their attention to the fact that the Ozlin law, which requires labor agents recruiting labor for employment outside of the state to pay a license fee of $5,000, recently signed by the governor, is now in effect. The law became effective upon its passage, an emergency having been declared to exist. This law also requires a license tax of $500.00 to solicit labor for service in the state. Police and detectives are asked to be on the alert for outside labor agents and to cause their arrest immediately. The enactment of this law is not likely to serve the purpose for which it was designed. It is much like locking the stable after the horse has been stolen. Most of the labor migration is now the result of letters back home, letters usually containing a ticket, or the price of one. As long as the government tax on a letter remains within reach of the poorest laborer, these missives will continue to feed the stream of migration. The Ozlin law, will of course put a decided check on the "transportation." But, it is generally a rowing and unstable class of laborers that hang onto "transportations," the dependable element usually having the fare to go on their own responsibility. And the latter class is the class that it is desirable to have in the state. The fact is, with the Ozlin law in effect, the thriftless, indolent and improvident class of labor that must rely on free transportation to get out of the state will remain have, while the dependable, thrifty class that is able to pay its own way, the very class which contributes to the economic worth of the commonwealth, will move out whenever it feels the urge to do so.

The God which answered by fire was to the God of Israel."—Forth. "Forth they (the priests of Baal) came in their gorgeous Tyrian purple and gold. The bullock was prepared, and laid on the wood. It was still early morning when they began their wild orgies. The excitement increased with the advancing of day. The cry of 'O Baal hear us', again and again ascended to the blazing sky. Amid their frenzied dances, they look up wistfully to the heavens for the appearance of the descending symbol. Louder and louder, deeper and deeper, waxes the hearse voiced chorus of Baal. Till noon it continues, the maddened priests leaping upon the altar. At the height of noon as the others worshipped the sun is pouring fierce rays on their heads, Elijah calls out in words of cutting irony, 'Cry aloud, for he is a god! Perventure he sleeps, and must be awakened!' The ministers of Baal have wrought themselves into a state of despair. Drawing their knives and lanctes, they inflict gashes on their bodies, and cover themselves with blood. Still, all is in vain. Their cause is lost. Baal is not God."—J. R. Mac III Elijah's Great Victory Wilson 20-29 There have been a good many kinds of religions in the world. And there have been too a good many tests of the validity of religion. The test of Elijah remains wonderfully effective. The religion which can bring fire to cold hearts, the religion which can burn up evil desires, the religion which can blaze in the heart with a mighty and burning inspiration, the religion which burn in a man's heart is not consumed, the religion which gives light and heat and yet preserves from confagration—this religion has permanent claims upon the mind and conscience and heart of man." —Dr. L. H. Hough. After the prophets of Baal had had their say—tried their god and utterly failed, God's man prepared his bellcock, and at the time of the evening obligation, Elijah came near and called on Jehovah to answer by fire, and proved that day that there was in Israel a true and living God. God did answer by fire—His name and cause and servant were vindicated. At the real demonstration of the power of God, the people were convinced; they fell on their faces and ac- [1] --- --- SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY REV. J. E.

I Kings 20:22 Golden Text—No man can serve two masters—Ye cannot serve God and mammon—Matt. 6:24. Mount Carmel is one of the distinctive features of Palestine. It is ties of Palestine. It is a ridge twelve or thirteen miles long ending in a bold promenory that projects into the Mediterranean Sea. Its dastern bluff is seventeen hundred and fifty feet above the sea. A series of rocky terraces lead a ridge twelve of thirteen miles long ending in a bold monitory that projects into the Mediterranean Sea. Its eastern bluff is seventeen hundred and fifty feet above the sea. A series of rocky terraces lead down to the Plain of Esdrealon. The mountain is called by the Arabs today Mr Elias, the Mountain of Elijah. The scene of the contest is localized by tradition at the southeastern extremity of the ridge, and is called "The Place of Hearing". At the foot of the cliff, the Kihson runs. Tradition declares a cave toward the sea, beneath a great Carmelite Monastery, to have been the home of the stern prophet of teferm. At the order of Abub, all the prophets gathered at Mount Carmel-Elijah, was God's sole representative, the prophets of Baal are four hundred strong. "This may seem not to be strictly true, since Obadiah had saved a prophets, and since Micaiah, the son of Imlah, who promised later in Ahab's reign (I Kings 22:8), was alive, but Elijah means, 'I only remain in the exercise of the office of prophet.' The others had been forced to fly and hide themselves in dens and caves of the earth; their voices were silenced; to the Caramel.

The Sapper Is A Memorial "This do is rememberance of me!" The absence of the Lord's Sufferer is not outward. It is Christian commanng. The Lord's Sufferer commanng after the death of Christ, then some secular celebrations of abounding life, like the sifting of the tempest or the raising of Lazareus. The sadness, and at first sight, repugnancy, event of Christ's life is selected as the occasion he most wishes remembered. It is because this great event bears his love. He reminds us of what Jesus suffered. The bishop blood speaks of a broken body. Our Lord was deceived, betrayed and inserted by his disheist. He suffered torture mental agony in the Gothessane, he was scourged, the crown of thorns was drown upon his head, the nails into his hands and feet. It also reminds us of what Jesus gave. The cup of wine stands for blood, the blood of Christ. And the blood is the life and symbol of life. He made the supreme sacrifice. He died that we might live. II The Supper A Symbol of Communion The communion of saints, and the fellowship of believers. "A corpse in a divided house is a persecuter. We are all brothers at a funeral. The presence of death lingers not in the sense or pages in the imagination, nor in the understanding, but goes down into the original instinct, where the sense of humanity lies embedded under the shadow of the infinite. The death of Christ is uniting influence in behalf of the brotherhood. When we go to the table devoutly, life's poor distinctions vanish, we get a larger consciousness of the Divine loveliness, of forbearance, and of his patience with others, and of his forgiveness of enemies. Our fears, hopes, comforts, and cares are one—Pulp. Com. To commute with Jesus, you must have his mind. "Let this mind be you, which was also in Christ Jesus. The Lord of glory and his people cannot commune together unless they agree. But let a man so prove himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.—I Cor. 11:28. III The Supper Has A Prophet Significance It declares the second coming of our Lord, "For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye --- --- 5,300 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 8,500 16,800 5,000 5,000 Russell 5,000 5,000 14,350 5,000 5,000 30,100 53,200 5,000 5,000 5,300 Inc. NAPOLIS, IND. S' TALKS ON GIOUS LIFE praclaim the Lord's death till He comes, I. Cor. 2:26. It sets forth the fact that they shall drink a new with Jesus in the Kingdom of God.—Mark 14:21; Luke 22:18. It is religious negligence and base ingratitude to habitually abstain ourselves from the Lord's Table. No loyal servant will do so. If you are a Jude, you presence will not be noticed. "Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesus, uncle, neither yesterday nor today?" So when we absent ourselves from the Lord's Table, a more generous King than Israel's mark our empty place."—Dr. W. L. Watkinson. Sentence Sermons To Remember The communion service is more than a commemoration; more than a wishful memory; it is a personal friendship with a living Saviour.—Dr. David Smith. If we show the Lord's death at communion, we must show the Lord's life in the world. If it is a Kachira on Sunday, it must prove on Monday that it also was a Sacrament—Dr. W. D. Babcock. ST.
