Apparently the child did not see approaching car when she startled across the street, or her youth mind was unable to appreciate the danger of the attempt. Herdy was severely mangled and then taken from under the car tracks life was extinct. Negligence Say Witness The motorman declared the accident unavoidable, but eyewitnesses the tragedy claim, it is alleged, that apparently a great deal of negligence was manifested on his car. Many of these witnesses were the opinion that with the excuse of due caution the motor-couple have brought his car to stop before crushing the child. He was arrested on a technical charge of manslaughter. The child was rushed to the hospital and declared that death had occurred instantaneously. Her remains were removed to Hale's funeral par- OUTH GREETS THE GOOD-WILL PARTY rousing Welcome In Southern Cities; Itinerary Expected To Have Very Beneficial Results. A group of Negro business men and social welfare workers of the north including one Southernner, the president of the largest Negro life insurance Company in the world, left New York last Friday for a tour of inspection of the south expressly for the purpose of training a contact and a large acceptance with national race conditions, especially as they exist in the economic sphere of colored people. These men, directing the settings of the investments of millions of dollars belonging to members of their race group,iding business institutions that promise to rise to international prominence and representing the best that the colored race has produced in the northern neck of America's goods in the commercial world, are traveling on a chartered Pullman, the Chlaymer" and have mapped it on an itinerary that will take them to the center of the South, where negro business men have blazed a trail in spite of the handicaps and descriptions. They expect to converse with these men of the South, new their successes and failures, exchange ideas on the economic look in America as it relates to Negroes, with the hopes of giving and receiving inspiration, information and encouragement that will lend heavily to greater progress in the commercial firmament of Negroes the country over. The tour was sarranged by J. R. L. Lee, extension secretary of the national Urban League, and among the members of the party are C. C. Spaulding, President of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company; Frank L. Gillie, President of the Liberty Life Insurance Company; Nabum D. Dascher of the Associated Negro Press; Charles S. Johnson, editor of the Opportunity; Walter Stevens, of the Chelsea Bank of New York City; William E. Tayler, president of the New York Y. M. C. A.; Mrs. M. Lawrence, of the National Urban League; M. Davis Carey, representing the Sanitary District of Chicago and a number of others all known in national business or social welfare circles. Given Big Send-Off Before the party left the metro on Friday night a brilliant farewell banquet was tendered it by the New York Association of Trade Commerce in its luxurious clubs at 2370 Seventh avenue, and with speeches ringing with a farewell to Gotham, the party entrain the expression among New HOUSTON MARTYRS GET COMMUTED SENTENCES OWNS STONE DAVID SLEW GOLIATH WITH Nashville, Tenn. Apr. 22. (By The A. N. P.)—R. M. Johnston, of Morristown, has written a letter to the state geologist, informing the latter he, Johnston, is in possession of the identical stone with which the bay, David, slew the gaint, Goliath. Johnston claims that the stone has been in possession of his family from biblical days and has been passed down. He has no children and wants to turn it over to some responsible agency which may ascertain its value and preserve it. Yorkers being that even the visit and purpose of the delegation was an inspiration to new endeavors. The first stop of the Good-Will Party after leaving Manhattan Island was Baltimore, where business and professional men formed a reception committee that met them and extended to them freedom of the city. Here they visited the principal business establishments owned and controlled by members of the race, talked to business men, listened to the conversations of business men, inspected the social welfare advantages of the city as offered to their people, after which they entrained for the nation's capital. In the national capital they were met by newspaper men, business and professional men and escorted to view the endeavors of Negroes of the head city. Here they found one of the race's biggest insurance companies, well managed and prosperous printing concerns; furnishing newspapers, successful banks, owned by their own—many things to encourage an inspire—and in the background the sinister influence of race segregation based on race prejudice. But the party was out to see and learn at first hand and it did not expect to see all flowers and no thorns on its mission. Sees Richmond Sunday the party spent the day in Richmond, Virginia's capital, where the wonderful progress of the Negroes of the Old Diminion city would have made the most disheartened take hard and give elation to successful business men as comprised the Good-Will Party. In Richmond they visit) race owned banks, printing concerns, one of the race's most stable life insurance companies, the headquarters of a most substantial fraternal association, and incidentally the only Negro bank in America with a woman as its president. From Richmond the party boarded the Chayme for Durham, N.C. "Whisky" Was Not Whisky, But the Last Laugh Won "He who laughs last laughs best" was illustrated yesterday in the case of Richard Williams, colored. Williams was fleeing from Officer Tillit and ran right into the arms of Detectives Mandy and Pettis. "What are you running for, boy?" queried Pettis. "Nothin,' Boss, nothin, a-tall," came the reply. Just then Tillt hove in sight. "I caught that boy sell ing a quart of Black and White whisky for a dollar," he said. The bottle was produced. And the officers had the laugh on Williams. Everybody, including the man to whom Williams was alleged to have sold the bottle repaired to the second precinct station. The prisoner began to grin. And when the bottle was stripped of its seals and opened it was found to contain innocent root beer. Then the accused vendor of spirits laughed right out loud. But the police played another card. They locked him up under a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. It was their time to laugh. They did. Virginian Pilot. Very true, "He who laughs last laughs best" and Richard Williams had the best laugh after all, because he laughed last—that is if he were not too frightened over his narrow escape to work up a tickle. Williams was allowed to go his way following the hearing of the false pretence charges against him. They fell down. Attorney W. W. Foreman, who represented him in Police Court contended that it was encumebent upon the commonwealth to show that the representation was false; that the accused knew it to be false, and that he made it with intent to defraud. The court connecided with this plea, and since the commonwealth had done, neither Williams was acquitted. It was then his time to laugh again but he didn't. RESULT IS BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT TO ENTIRE RACE War Secretary's Announcement Received With Mingled Surprise and Disappointment By Those Who Hoped For Better. WELDON JOHNSON OFF FOR WASHINGTON New York, April 19—Sentences of seventeen of the 38 life-timers among the 54 former members of the 24th Infantry, in whose behalf the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other bodies recently presented a petition with 125,000 signatures to President Coolidge, have been commuted by the War Department, it was announced today. Press dispatches announce that "their sentences in most of the cases were cut to thirty years" from life imprisonment, making the men eligible for parole in from three to four years. RESULTS DISAPPOINTING The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. immidiatly upon receipt of the news telegraphed both to Warden W. I. Biddle of the Federal Petitionary at Leavenworth and to the War Department in Washington, asking for detailed information covering the cases of all the men of the 24th Infantry whose cases had been reviewed by the Military Board and informing Secretary Weeks that the disputed from Leavenworth "indicates a result bitterly disappointing to colored people of the country." James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Secretary, left for Washington to take up the matter directly with War Secretary Weeks Before leaving New York, Mr Johnson said the N. A. A. C. P. would continue the fight until all the men were released from prison or dead. LARGE CROWD HEARS DEAN KELLEY MILLER LARGE CROWD HEARS DEAN KELLEY MILLER Gives Detail Discussion On Aims And Purposes Of Great All-Race Conference. Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University addressed a large audience at the First Baptist Church Sunday night. The Dean's speech was devoted mainly to a talk on the Negro Sanhedrin held in Chicago in February, a movement brought into being thru his zeal to help find a solution for the many problems besetting the race in this country. He expressed the hope that local councils of the organization will be established in every city and urged the citizens of Norfolk to take the initiative in this matter. Dr. Miller dwell at length upon the new consciousness that has been aroused in subject peoples of the world as a result of the great war. Self determination as preached by the late Woodrow Wilson has electrified the world, the dean said and now more than over all races and groups are striving to that end. Interracial commissions are good and are needed, he said, but they could not function in regard to the Negro as well as All-Race Conferences, because it is impossible for a white man to feel the Negro's problem, impossible for him to actually gauge his aspirations and hopes. None can do this but a Negro, Dr. Miller told his audience. SANHEDRIN'S PURPOSE The purpose of the Sanhedrin he said, is not to align itself with any particular movement but to throw its strength behind any and all movements that are proposed to benefit the race. I am no prophet, he continued, but I know who will be president of the United States for the next four years, and for the next four years. He will be a white man, and we shall have Continued on page Three. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 26. 1924 MAN EATS 75 ORANGES AND THEY KILL HIM Cleveland, Tenn., Apr. 23—(A.N.P.)—Wesley Craigmiles, Jr., 17, ran into a fruit sale where oranges were going at a penny each. He bought 50 and ate them. They were not enough. He bought 25 more. These were disposed of also. Then the trouble started. He was seized with a violent physical aliment which resulted in insanity. Pneumonia overtook him during exposure and he is now dead. "Petty Larceny' Is Petty Larceny Says Spindle "Poor colored people are going over to the jail almost every day upon convictions for petty lavery, I see no reason why any exceptions should be made in this case—thirty days in jail," were the words that fell sternly from the lips of Police Justice Staple Monday morning as he sentenced C. H. Dudley, (white) a well known milk dealer, to a term in jail upon a conviction of having purported milk belonging to the Milner Dairy Company from the vestibule of a D. P. Store. Mr. Dudley was accused of having ordered a colored youth, J. W. Gatling, who accompanied him on his delivery, younger to jump down from his truck and take on two cases of milk, Milner Dairy Company's wagon had just dropped off at the store. Overwhelming testimony was presented against the accused including that of the boy who confessed that he took the milk under orders from his employer; a driver for the dairy company, who claimed that he laid the trap to catch the person or persons who had been stealing: Milner's milk. The detective, who aided in the arrest and who claimed to have obtained what amounted to a verbal confession from the accused and an early morning newsboy. There were no witnesses for the defense, nor did the defendant testify in his own behalf. Lost 72 Cases The driver for Milner Dairy said that his company had recently lost about 72 cases of milk left at the doors of stores before they opened in the morning. Several attempts to catch the thieves have been futile he said, until a few days ago he rode his mortorycycle to a certain D. P. Store, concealed himself across the street and laid in wait for developments. The milk was delivered as usual, he testified, and had been in front of the store door only a short time before C. H. Dudley, also a milk dealer, came along with his truck, stopped at the store; his helper alighted and picked it up the two cases of milk placed aboard the truck and started off. Milner's man mounted his motorcycle, he said, and gave chase, bringing the truck to a halt only after flashing his gun. The original caps had been removed from the bottles, he testified, while the chase was going on. Altho the stolen goods included in the warrant were valued at only $6.02. Justice Spindle was not inclined to accept the payment of a fine as sufficient punishment for the offense. He sat in solemn consideration of the circumstances for a few minutes before delivering his remarks regarding "colored people go to jail" for no greater offenses." Attorney Elliott who represented the defendant gave notice of appeal. Bond was fixed at $500. Attorney Heath conducted the prosecution for Milner Dairy Company.

Chicago Commerce Chamber And Baltimore Editor Give Views On The Race Exodus SAYS WINTER DID NOT REVERSE THE MIGRATION TIDE Editor of Manufacturers Record Refutes Statements That Hordes Of Negroes Returned On Approach Of Cold. ONLY CAME HOME FOR HOLIDAYS, HE FINDS In reference to statements that appeared in many Southern newspapers during the fall and winter months asserting that the tide of Negro migration had turned and a great backflow to the South of the migrants was in progress, Mr. Richard, Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers Record, and an author on international conditions, writes in his publication for April under the caption "The Negro Exodus: Will It Be Permanent" a highly interesting article on the subject in which he states after a careful investigation the findings do not bear out these statements. Mr. Edmonds not only finds that there has been no appreciable resettling in the South by those who left on the crest of the exodus wave, but asserts that on the contrary even in the coldest months of the winter the north-bound movement of Negroes was as heavy as south-bound. His statement in part reads: "During the past winter, especially in November and December, when a heavy southbound movement of Negroes was observed, the impression gained ground that the prodigals were deeing from the rigors of the northern winter, and many southern landowners and other employers hoped this would be the case. In order to answer this question a careful and thorough investigation has been made throughout the South and I am able to present the facts gathered largely by railway officials. The findings of that investigation do not bear out the impression. On the contrary it appears certain that even during the coldest months of the winter the north-bound movement of Negroes was as heavy as the south-bound. Furthermore, there are indications in certain sections at least that this Spring will be a signal for the resumption of the exodus. WHAT ANALYSIS SHOWS A careful analysis of conditions existing throughout the South shows according to this investigation that on the whole: "(1) The south-bound movement is not conceived as was the north-bound movement, but is made up chiefly of Negroes who are coming South for visits; in addition to which there are others who have not been successful in securing good jobs, or who have been laid off, as has been the case in certain large industries, and possibly a few who migrate South for the coldest months return again in the Spring "(2) The heavy south-bound movement of Negroes just prior to the Christmas holidays was made up almost entirely of Negroes returned for the holidays only. Even this heavy southern holiday migration was only a small per cent of the number that had gone North the preceding summer. Many competent observers, such as railway passenger agents, estimated the proportion as about 20 per cent, and practically all of them returned North again after the holidays. "(3) In some sections, Negroes are not making contracts for the coming summer. This is believed to indicate a rather widespread intention to move North with the coming of Spring if employment at high wages seem probable. APPLY TO FAR SOUTH "These figures apply more strictly to sections far South than to sections near Mason and Dixon's line. For instance, a labor agent in Richmond remarked last February that he had sent last year 20,000 laborers through Richmond, and he figured a majority of them had returned. By the way of contrast HEAVY LIFE-TOLL Kitchen Cabinet Awaits Winner The kitchen cabinet that was offered as a prize by the Journal and Guide and which was won by the person holding ticket number 612 it at the Guide office awaiting to be claimed by the winner. If the person holding the ticket hearing this number will present it at the office the cabinet will be given to him or her. a report from probably a better informed source from Savannah states that more Negroes had gone North from Savannah since the holidays than had come South prior to the holidays, and that throughout January at least the northbound travel from that point was heavier than the return. "With the exception of the report from Richmond that probably a majority of the Negroes had returned there, every section of the South reported that at least as many had gone North since the holidays as had come South before. Therefore it seems safe to assume that southern industries and agriculture will have to adjust themselves to new state of things, and get along with the present scarcity of Negroes at least, if not with an ever-decreasing number." $500 Reward for The Capture of Jewelry Thieves Five hundred dollars in good cold cash awaits the person or persons who will furnish information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or person who entered the office of attorney Walter H. Land, Cove street, sometime between the first and tenth of March and made off with $2,000 worth of jewelry including valuable diamond rings, or for the recovery of the valuables. Attorney Land's jewelry mysteriously disappeared from his office some time between the dates named. The circumstances surrounding its disappearance prevents him from being able to fix the exact date of his loss. The valuables were removed from his office safe without forcing or breaking a lock, and because it was customary for the compartment which contained the jewelry to remained locked for several days without being disturbed, the attorney had no knowledge that it had been opened by some unknown person until he purchased to find his bank book lying on the floor of the main compartment. This aroused his suspicions as he knew that the book had always been kept in the drawer with the jewelry. On unlocking the drawer he discovered his loss. Lawyer Land says the combination had been worked with precision. Just a few weeks prior to that time he had had the safe combination changed for the first time in 32 years. Big Garvey Meeting The local Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, opened a series of meetings last Sunday in the Attucks Theatre. The Assistant President-General of the Association, William Sherrill, an American leader, addressed the opening meeting. A petition was signed asking this and other governments of the world for aid and co-operation in establishing a government for Negroes, in Africa. Six million Negroes in America are said to be signing the petitions to be sent to President Coolidge and to both houses of Congress. Petitions are also to be sent to the British Parliament, to France, and to the League of Nations. This meeting, it is said, is one of a series of similar meetings which are to be held throughout the country. A mammoth street parade led by the Premier Military Band preceded the opening meeting Sunday, and a vast crowd gathered at the theatre to witness the exercises. Every night this week meetings have been held in various sections of the city. Mr. Sherrill has addressed each gathering with a forceful plan in interest of the back to Africa Movement. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR URGES SOUTH TO GIVE POLITICAL RECOGNITION Chicago Chamber of Commerce Makes Pointed Reference To Lack Of Opportunities For Colored People. URGES A CHANGE OF VIEW ON RACE ISSUE Opinion gathered by Mr. J. Clay Murphey, of Macon Georgia, and president of the Georgia Real Estate Board from trade associations, real estate associations, chambers of commerce in the North and West on the excuses of colored people to those sections is incorporated in a very interesting article by Mr. Samuel G. Wilmer under the caption of "Negro Exodus As Viewed in the North and South," which appears in the April number 87 of the Manufacturers Record. The information is regarded as authentic as it was assembled thru questionnaires sent to representative bodies located in the sections to which the migration has been heaviest, who in turn gathered the answers from personal observation and interviews with others believed to have been in a position to furnish what was desired. Many cities and towns expressed opposition to any further migration of colored people. Pew of those who moved have established themselves permanently by purchasing homes. Probably the most interesting light is that thrown on the situation as it pertains particularly to labor. In this respect the opinion is almost universal that Negro labor in Northern industries compares very favorably with white, and better in certain kinds of work. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce supplemented its answers to the questionnaire with the following highly interesting comment: "We have not had the time nor opportunity to make an extensive study such as the answers to some of the questions would require, but have called upon sources of information available to us, who are believed to be well informed on the general situation. "Among our inquiries we have sought the opinion of men who travel in both the South and the North or of concerns represented both in the South and the North. Summed up, their opinion seems to be that the South must recognize the necessity of providing better living and working and perhaps even political conditions if they expect to offset material" the established tendency of Negroes to come North. In other words, the opinion seems to be that high wages is not the primary cause of the migration. Fundamentally, health and sanitary conditions, housing conditions, educational facilities, business opportunities and political conditions must be improved. When they are, and to the extent they are, the Negro is not gain to be enticed away from a section of the country in which he prefers to live by high wages. "Most if these conditions are easily possible of fulfilment as most business men from the South with whom we have talked readily agree. The difficult problems relate to providing somewhat near equal business opportunities for the Negro when he has educated himself above the average and also to bring about conditions such that the Negro will feel that he has some small part at least in the government of his community, state and nation. We don't believe all the tales we hear about disfranchisement of the Negro in the South, neither do we believe that it would be good for the South under the present conditions if the Negro were a controlling factor in politics.

CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers TION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR E-TOLL FIVE YEAR-OLD GIRL KILLED BY HEAVY TRUCK Little Rosa White Said To Have Fallen Under Wheels of Ponderous Machine When She Swings On Behind. DRIVER IS CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER Death beneath the wheels of a heavy delivery auto truck belonging to the D. Pender Grocery company robbed five year-old Rosa White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Salas White, of 916 Charlotte street, of the opportunity of appearing in her best dress and reciting her original Easter poem at the Easter exercises of her Sunday school last Sunday. Rosa died Sunday a few hours before the time appointed for the program. The child attended St. Joseph's Catholic school and had composed a few lines on the resurrection of Christ, which the older people said were very sweet, and which she intended to recite Sunday. She was in actasy over the coming event. Playing in the street: Saturday evening in her childish glee she is said to have swung onto the passing truck. In some manner she lost her hold and fell under the wheels of the ponderous machine which was being driven by Boston Snowden. Snowden said he did not see the child until after the accident. She was rushed to St. Vincent's hospital where she died while her classmates were preparing to go on with the Easter exercises. Her funeral was held at Allen A. M. E. Chanel Tuesday. Snowden was arrested and held on a charge of manslaughter. His case was continued until April 29. He is reputed to be a cautious driver, and the opinion is that the accident was unavoidable under the circumstances. HEATLH WORK TO BE RE-ORGANIZED The following committee appeared before City Manager Causey last Saturday morning, in interest of municipal health work among Norfolk's colored population; Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, Dr. A. Lyman Paey Dr. Elihu D. Burke, Dr. S. J. Moone Dr. R. J. Matthews, Dr. S. F. Compage, Rev. D. F. White and P. B. Young. The committee waited upon City Manager Causey as the result of action on the part of the Norfolk colored physician's club, following recommendation to the Council, by Commissioner of Public Welfare Scheuck, that the colored community health clinic be closed. The physicians club took the position that the statement to the Council by Dr. Scheuck that it was necessary to close the clinic on account of the non-cooperation on the part of the colored physicians was misleading, in as much as the colored physicians had offered this cooperation to the health commissioner under such conditions as they could cooperate, along ethical lines. Dr. Bowens was spokesman for the committee. Among other things he said: "That the physicians club did not arbitrarily decline to support the Community Center Clinic, but suggested a plan by which it could be more satisfactorily maintained. "That the services rendered by the colored physicians in the Clinic work in the past entitled them to official recognition. That they are now asking that one or more of their group be employed by the city on part or full time. "That the colored physicians are better qualified temperamentally to treat the colored charity cases and more accessible than the white physicians, now paid by the city for this work." Dr. Mathews Corroborates Dr. Bowen's remarks were supplemented by Dr. R. J. Mathews, who strongly emphasized the points made by the committee spokesman. He reiterated the proposal of the colored physicians club to co-operate in the operation of the Clinic, if the same was reorganized along the lines suggested by the physicians. City Manager Causey gave the committee assurances of his sympathetic interest in the cause of public health, where all citizens are concerned and promised to recom- Continued on page Three S-O-C-I-E-T-Y The Norfolk Journal and Guide Solicits reports of club meetings, marriages, engagements, socials, etc. See the facts to the Society Editor, and sign your name for identification.

PROGRAM FOR DETT AND HIS GLEE CLUB IS ANN OUNCED The Hampton Institute Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett, well-known Negro composer-pianist of Hampton Institute, will give its second annual concert in the City Armory on Friday night, April 25, at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Alpha Phi Alpha Society of Norfolk. This well-known glee club of 32 singers will give a program, including numbers by Wagner, Bach, Crosse, Coleridge-Taylor, Mendelssohn, Huhn. Helen Elise Dett, wife of the composer, who is an accomplished musician, will play a number of famous piano numbers, including Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2" and Chopins "Ballade in A flat." The student soloists will include Aubrey W. Pankey, Gayla R. Glenn F. Gramin Kinchion, and Othello R. Wilson, Luther T. Purvis will recite Dunbar's "When Malindy Sings." The Hampton Institute Glee Club will also include in its program some of the Negro folks songs and Negro folk-song anthems by Negro composers such as Burleigh and Dett. Aubrey Pankey will sing some of R. Nathaniel Dett's well-known Negro derivatives, including "Somebody's Knocking at Your Door," and "There's Man Goin' Roun' Takin' Names." The Hampton Institute Glee Club has won for itself a unique place on account of its ensemble work. All the singers have been selected for their individual voices and then they have been trained to sing well together a very high grade of choral music. This club shows clearly what well-trained colored singers can do with music of the classical and modern schools. Negro music, as it has been sung by Hampton Institute students since 1868, has expressed the emotional experience of a race that is moving upward to a better life. Hundreds of thousands of men and women of all classes and races have come long distances to hear the Hampton Institute chorus and smaller groups sing the plantation songs or "spirituals" of the Old South, which are heart-songs of a strangering people. "The Hampton Institute singers do not sing ragtime," said the late Natalie Curtis Burlin, who was an authority in folk-song research. "They sing the folk-songs of their people. In his music the Negra poured out his sufferings and his aspirations, his patient submission to the boudage of this world and his vivid hope for freedom in the world to come. His song was also his recreation and his joy. It lightened his toil, inspired his dances, accompanied his games, enriched the story-teller's narrative, and embodied all the sports and pastimes of a childlike people." Friday night's program at the Armory will include a wide-range of Negro music and also a wide-range of musical interpretation by Negroes who respect both the old and the modern art-forms of musical composition. Citizens who attend the anniversary exercise at the Institute Friday will return for the recital Friday night. Say South To Give Political Recognition (Continued From Page One) same time there must be a happy medium reached at which the Negro will be permitted a wider participation in political affairs so that he will feel he has his part as a citizen in governmental affairs. "These opinions we have collected are given to you for what they may be worth. We have no particular pride of authorship, nor do we want to give a lot of offhand advice on a problem with which we are not particularly conversant." V.N. & I.I. Wins Triangle Debate Petersburg, Va. — The annual contest between the State schools of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina was held on Friday evening, April 11. South Carolina opposed Virginia at Petersburg, and Virginia opposed North Carolina at Greensboro. At both places the teams representing the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute won the decision. The question debated was—Resolved that the United States should enter the League of Naions. The audience at Petersburg was kept thrilled with interest through out the whole debate. The Tongue and Poet Literary Society sat to the right of the stage and gave its enthusiastic support to the home team with songs and yells. But the enthusiasm increased all the more when it was announced that a message was received stating that the Virginia team at Greensboro had also won from North Carolina. The members of the victorious Virginia team were as follows: Affirmative—Elle Bowles, George Downings with Walter C. Cogdell as also negative—Ethel Hewerton, Stanley Knight with Verta Warmer as alternate. Large Crowd Hears Dean Kelly Miller (Continued from Page One) our disfranchisement, proscription jim crow and all those cels that retard our progress, therefore it is important that we seek to solve our problem independent of political parties. In 1867, spoke Dr. Miller, there was an inspired decade; the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution were adopted. No such amendments could have been passed prior to 1860 nor after 1870. It is not the purpose of the whites at the present time to enable the non-whites. It was done in that period in ecstasy of moral orthusiasm. We must not let our admitted dependency on the white man cover and humiliate our spirit, yet we must not curse the white god and die he said. Saying that he believed every race had its particular God-given mission to perform on earth, Dr. Miller, added that he felt conscious that the great mission of the Negro people is to lead the world in religious consacration. The address was highly interesting and held the large audience in rapt attention.

With the rejection of the League of Nations by the United States Senate, the World Court becomes all the more an important issue since isolation on the part of the United States is deemed both unwise and in the long run impossible. A team representing Howard will debate the Lineau home team. Union sends a team to Washington to meet Howard's home team. The debate at Union will be between Union and Lincoln, with Union de- Shade You but add to the appearance of and inviting addition. ings of every description. First-Class Workmanship.

Blindness Threatens Sam Lankford, Boston Tar Baby AMOS HOKUM---He Gets Something Soft DOGGON IT. I BEEN A GOAT LONG I NOUGH!

I WANT SOME NEW COOL AN A JOB SO I GOT GOING. I WANT A REAL GOOD JOB. IN OTHER WORDS I WANT SUMPIN SOFT, SEE SOFT!! HOW'S THAT? Willey A. Johnson, Jr. Sam Langford, the original designer Tar Baby" and once past order of the padded art, is covered with total blindness. He totally blind in one eye and the hit of the other is in serious dang- of being shut off owing to a target growing on the optic. Langford is in a pitiful state of blessness. He has not suffi- tent funds to undergo a very nec- sary operation and unless he can use the money, he will become one blind in a short while. Tham," as he was often called, as a veritable giant in the squared cube and was the only man that mison, former world's title hold- ed. It was just as hard Langford to get a bount with bison as it is to start the Nagara Falls flowing backwards. Sam Langford first visited Pacific Coast he had to pass under the rigid scrutiny of the ex- presses and near experts. Finally he was picked by one of his national physique. He was said to spit up in the ape fashion. He had the reflexes of the jungles feature and he clubbed with his gras as the gorilla chills with him. One of the promoters said, but his grand father can throw coconut eighty-seven miles. Langford's strength was a without in those days and he was given wide berth. In fact, all black ighters of that time loomed out reminently in the midst of the fly-white battlers and in every scoote the bout was usually fixed. Langford's first fight was with treeman Jim Flynn, the ancien dator of Pueblo, Colo. Flyrp add in guaranty of $2,500 and was said that night before the inclee. Langford's share was only a percentage of the remainder. Cus- mers were scarce on that night out from indications Sam's share could only amount to about $500. Just before the fight the promoter tune into the Tar Baby's dressing com and told him to make it a nice, gentlybout, because here were lots of nice people in the audience and to give them their owner's worth. "What! Sam demanded. "Him getting $2,500 and me getting less than $500? This is going to be one of the shortest fights you ever saw in your life." And tru to predictions, the fight had not started good before it was all over. Langford came out of his dressing room and entered the ring and when the gong sounded, Flynn rushed and Sam rushed also. The bitter landed the first punch, without to see the results he halted out of the ring and went back to his dressing room. The fight was over and Langford the victor. No record of "Tham's" activities in the ring is complete without that little history attached. Some sport writers call it a classic. There is another story of Sam Langford's checkered career on coast. It was duing the time when the most of heavyweights were more on less riant. Jeffries had tossed his gloves into the ash can and announced his retirement. There were many claimants. It was comparatively safe to claim the title at that time. Langford and Porky Flynn were couring the West coast fighting every month. First it would be Porky's time to win then nest in would be Sam's time. As fate would have it, it was Flynn's time to come out the victor and one of the leading sport critics of that section witnessed the bout. He predicted that Porky Flynn would be the coming champion without a doubt. No one knew that this hurt the child-like vanity of the "Tar Baby," but it did. When the next encounter took place as it was Langford's time to win, he backed the puzzled Porky to the ropes where the critic was sitting and "Lock out Mr. Walker," for that was the critics name, "here comes your champion"; and sure enough Sam swung on Porky and knocked him through the ropes in the lap of Walker. Thus the Langford-Flynn combination was broken up. Sam Langford made a small fortune in the ring, but he was guilty of what many of our race fighters have been and are guilty of. It is said that he was a sieve with his stampe. He always sounded his money. He always soft pickings in petty frivolities, yet he was big hearted and philanthropical. He actually gave his money away to fellows that could not get into the big money. Some of his admirers said that they have seen him take a roll of bills and deliberately shove them into the pockets of some other fellows who were less fortunate than he and were too proud to ask for anything. Sam had that way of not wanting to embarrass the other person by offering them money. Now the old "Tham" is broken and blind and a few interested ones are trying to interest the Sports Alliance in staging a benefit boxing match for Sam. This is what the white followers of the sport are trying to do. They say it is tough enough for a man to be down and out as one of the world's greatest fighters, without being threatened with blindness. Here is a real chance to give as Sam Langford never failed to do. The case of Sam Langford is not only one in the history of the black fighters, but it is one of the few that have become serious. Sam McVey is another of our fighters of note who came in for his share of recognition and became out among the white contenders. He also made a small fortune in the art of swapping punches. His big money went to his head and when he died, his body was buried in "Potters Field." He did not have enough left from his fortune to save the city from taking over his remains. There was no question to McVey's ability. He was always a drawing card in every bout that he engaged in. In nearly every fight the purse was exceptionally large, but it went the way of the spanditrition. Now he is resting under the sod the worse off for his consciousness. Then comes the mighty Joe Waleck. He rode down the world with the banners streaming, hurling jabs and hooks in every direction and spelled sleep to the unfortunate who get in the way and was not fast enough to get out in time. Waleck was a welterweight and he did not have an in that class. He could knock out heavyweights with the same dexterity as he would a man of his class. His exceptional ability made it hard for him to get a fight in the welterweight class, consequently he had to step out in another class. He did not stop at the middleweight or light-heavyweight but went on up two classes above his own. Owing to this the money was big, but alas he could not stand it. Time, human destiny's only combatant, came in for its share. Now Joe is an old man and is compelled Sportboard Reflections FOOTBALL - BASEBALL - BOXING - WRESTLING P. Bernard Young, Jr. It is generally conceded that Harry Wills is the most dangerous of Dempshe's rivals. That conception is more nearly the correct one than any ever held. A few have said that. Wills had brittle hands. They said that Wills could not pound away on the chins of human punching bags and still have a good hand. Wills meets Madden soon and if he comes out of that bout with his hands in good shape the last argument against the "Brown Panther" will have been broken down. Firpo Has A Real Wallop. Firpo has nothing but a sledgehammer right with which he can hammer a cement post with and still have it in good shape. The boxing public instinctively craves such a wallop. That is perhaps the most logical reason why Firpo draws big crowds. But when a boxer comes along with ring generalship, a great defense, skill, and last but not least the cave-man wallop he draws a record crowd. Willis possesses these in abundant fashion. That is why the cauliflower ear industry demands a fight between Wills and Dempsey. That fight will come some day, and if Wills is in as good shape as he has been on in other occasions there will be some fight. Lincoln-Union Relations Renewed Lincoln and Union have again resumed football relations. That fact has been the cause of keen satisfaction among these interested in the playing of games among the schools of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association. The members of the association are gradually coming to the point where they see the advisability of playing games among themselves. The association was organized for that purpose and when such action is taken they are to be complimented for their action. It is essential to the healthy growth of the association that games be scheduled on its members first. With this game goes the probability that Norfolk will get another big game next fall. Hampton and St. Paul will clash there on the 18th of October and Union and Lincoln will lock up the following Saturday. That will offer Norfolk two games of football that will be a treat for the thrill levers. The four teams that will battle for supremacy are among the four strongest in the country. St. Paul becomes a strong customer last year, Lincoln has always been a strong team, Union is noted for her fighting teams, while Hampton can always be counted upon to be beaten on only after time has been called—she never gives up before that. Good attendance by the fans in and around Norfolk will make it possible for such teams to come to Norfolk regularly.

PAUL DEFEATS HOWARD NINE the professional and semi-professional leagues are actively preparing for their annual campaigns. The season among the colleges opened the first Saturday in the month. The professional and semi-professional teams have not actually begun their seasons as yet but the prospects are that Negre baseball is in for a banner season. Few troubles have arisen out of players jumping this or that club. Of course there have been cases of it. In some quarters the outlook is held as being rather dark. The season itself can only show whether the sport is going in the direction of success or failure. Lawrenceville, Va., April 21— All avalanche of errors by Howard university, and the timely hitting and airtight fielding by St. Paul School, enabled the latter to de- fect the former in one of the most sensational games of the 1924 collegiate baseball season, by a 8-5 score, here this Easter Monday afternoon, before a concourse of people from all sections of the country, and representing all walks in life. Captain "Sam" Higgins led a fine machine into battle. From the time Monroe batted the second ball pitched by "Laud" Wallace over the left field sheep fence into the crimson clover for a homer, until St. Paul's valiant rally in the memorable third inning, it booked like a Howard day. But, once a consistent pace, Douglas, protages refused to acknowledge the possibility of a defeat at the bands of Burr's cohorts. The great Tiger nine put the game in the sixth inning by adding two runs to an already one run lead. After one run in the 5th the Bisons took their medicine in accordance with the directions of James Green Wallace, St. Paul's treacherous and curvy cork center deliverer. Will Attempt To Make New Record. Francis Hussey will be under the eye of Coach Roberson, one of the Olympic coaches, during the Easter holidays. Before and after that he plans to attempt to break the existing record for the interscholastic century dash. The consistently good running of this New York City high school lad bids fair to land him an Olympic berth. KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- The clash was featured by the spectacular catches of Blackwell St. Paul's centerfield sphere depository; and the consistent fielding and hitting of Doneghy, Howard' renown athlete.

In the first Epps hunted safely, Coward sacrificed and Moses singled scoring Epps. From that time until the sixth not a V. N. L. L. player reached the third base.

Coward walked Maddux and Cooka fol- o have anything on them when the jong sounds sending them on their way.

C.—The list of celebrities who will appear at the Monster Trunk Meet at University on Saturday, May 10, reads like the pages of an athletic Who's Who. Chief among these notables will be E. O. Gourdin, world's record broad jumper and former National Pentathlon Champion. Gourdin is working out at Under the Field, Boston, Mass. under the eyes of James Farrrell, in order to around into shape for the Olympic tryouts in June. This genius of the cinderpatch won his spurs as a member of the track team at Jacksonville High School, Jacksonville, Fla., where he won six events in the inter-scholastic championship of that city, setting up records in four of these which have never been approached since that time. He matriculated in 1920 and soon became the best spinner in New England college teams. In 1920, he barely missed making the trip to Antwerp with the American Olympic team. However, he came right back the next year and startled the world with an unprecedented leap of 25 ft 3 in. in the Oxford Cambridge vs. Harvard-Yale Dual Meet on July 23rd, 1921. The record or this event 24 ft 11 in. in the Oxford Cambridge vs. Harvard-Yale Dual Meet withstood the attack of time for twenty-one years. Incidentally, Gourdin won the 100-yard dash at this same meet by beating Abraham, the great all-round athlete of Cambridge University, England. He did not hang up his shoes after this meet, but entered a new field, namely the all-round competition. In 1922, he annexed the National Pentathlon Championship the first and last time this event has been won by a Negro. This event included the 100 yard dash; 1 mile run; broad jump; javelin throw; and discus throw. He also won the Decathlon contest. Sport fans will be treated to an event worth going miles to see when Gourdin matches speed and stamina against Charles West, the Washington and Jefferson College athlete, who won the Intercollegiate Pentathlon Champion.

Pinkie, will have one of the hardest schedules- ever undertaken by a Hampton team. Games have been arranged for the coming season with every team in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association 1928 the high brand of football players in the Association in the Association the Hampton warriors may expect a strenuous season. For several years there has been a growing demand on the part of Hampton alumni in Philadelphia and Norfolk to have the Hampton management arrange for occasional games in these centers. This year an attempt is being made to satisfy the Hampton-St. Paul game in Norfolk, Va., on October 18, 1924, and the Hampton-Lincoln game in Philadelphia, on November 1, 1924. The 1924 schedule is a s follows: Oct. 4, Not decided, at Hampton; Oct. 11, Va.

WILLS MAY YET GET CRACK AT HEAVY TITLE WILLS MAY YET GET CRACK AT HEAVY TITLE Willey A. Johnson, Jr. When the attitude of all the whichese assume the same will it be when the form of athletes of the race. Race prejudice is the only thing that prevents the American Negroes from standing out pre-eminently in the world of sport. It has been proved that race or color is no barrier to ability. The following is the attitude of one white sport-writer who's mind is not contaminated with the blue color of the skin. It is an extract from one of his writings on the Senegambians: "Consider the ease of Harry Wills, the patient Senegambian stevedore, who has been pleading these many years for chance at the heavyweight championship title. It seems that he may get it sometime this summer. But he gets the chance when both of his husbands have won and when he has become comparatively ancient from the ring point of view. "This may make me seem like a traitor to my fellow cancusans, one of those who would see the heavyweight championship taken by the WBC, Well, perhaps I am callous enough not to care whether or not the holder of the heavyweight championship TIDEWATER TENNIS CLUB READY FOR ACTION Willey A. Johnson, Jr. Finally the Tender Water Tennis Club has gotten something tangle gibble. It is a great club. The bid was let to J. H. Portlock, who will do the building and Landis Taylor of the Norfolk County Club for laying off the courts. Members did not make any mistake in selecting the best men obtainable. Work is as ready as possible for the club's readiness for playing by the first of next week. There will be a marked change in the field on the Goff St. hill. It will be changed from an unisexity field which has served as a landmark for decades to a team field. From the center of attraction for tennis in the State of Virginia. Nothing will be left undone to make these courts second to none in entire Tidewater. Members of the club are due merited credit for their efforts in trying to do something in the sport for the youth of the city. Tennis is conceived and perpetuated in the high ideals of sportsmanship. It is considered to be COLORED I. A. A.

It may be shown that the law does not bar a Dempsey-Willis bolt in New York State; that is, not written law bars the way. Yet you do not hear any promoters bidding for that bolt to be held within the jurisdiction of the Grand Duchy of Mulldoon, despite the fact that the majority of the customers are of the opinion that it is the most logical bolt. Mr. Rickard, who is seriously attempting to stage it, announces that he will be held at Boyles' Thirty Acres, in the State of New Jersey, where there is no color line visible or invisible. But it will be noticed that no Dempsey-Willis bolt was talked about seriously while the lily whites were able to produce anything remotely resembling a "logical contender." Of course the colored is entitled to fair play, but he has a hard time trying to collect it. CROWDS GATHER AT REOPENING OF THE CAPITOL THEATRE The Capitol Theatre, Eiffingham street, near High street, Portsmouth featured its re-opening Easter Monday afternoon with the great drama, "The Spoons." A tremendous feature witnessed the showing due to the picture. When the house opened for the afternoon performances, the waiting crowd had formed a long line at the ticket office and when the doors swung open the spacious auditorium quickly filled. From then until the last run at night there was never a second crowd. A crowd seeking admission to the theatre that as early as nine o'clock the ticket window was closed down and no more seats were sold. The picture itself was a splendid feature and admittedly and excellent drawing card, however, the fine accommodations offered at the Capitol had much to do with enticing such large numbers to attend. This house has been thoroughly remodeled, a ten thousand dollar pipe organ installed which is second to none found in any theatre in the South for white or colored. A ventilating system has been installed capable of changing the entire volume of air in the house every four seconds. That means that regardless of the number of people in the building, every four seconds inhaled air passes and fresh air is pumped in. This feature is reputed to be one of the most modern health and sanitation devices in buildings where crowds congregate. The Capitol Theatre was built, said the managers, with the purpose of giving the colored people of Portsmouth and vicinity a place, easily accessible, where they may go with their families and enjoy TENNIS ADY FOR ACTION one of the cleanest games in existence. The tennis enthusiast is vastly different from any other athlete. Moot questions and decisions are just as prevalent in the game of tennis as in any other gaine. All participants have that magnanimousness of spirit and they believe in the saying that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Tennis is more or less mirrored with squabbles and unnecessary bitches that delay, detract and deconcierate the ideal of the inter-national pastime. Members of the Tidewater Tennis Club are determined to keep the game within the domains of clean participation and lofty ideals. New members of the club have been elected and are as follows: George Ward, president; William Mectoy, vice president; Miles Young, secretary; John Davis, treasurer. The Board of Managers of the club are James, Jones (Stuart) B. Meyer, Yates (Dr. Elliott D. Burke, John Mainor, and Chester Custers. Not a better roster of young men could be compiled that are well versed in the ideals of tennis competition. A. TENNIS NT IN RICHMOND ment not later than 8 o'clock A. M. Saturday A. M. 3. C. I. A.

THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC CO. LADIES' 107 1/2 GRANBY STREET MILK PAGE FIVE eets MEN'S Religious News And Church Activities SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY REY, J. E. BRIGGS Interructor of Theology and the Engl ish Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. SUNDAY, APRIL 27TH, 1921 AMOS AND HOSEA LEADING RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Temperance Lesson) Golden Text—Hate the evil and love the good.—Amos 5: 15 The Difference in the Position of Two Prophets "Unlike Amos, Hosea was him- self a subject of the Northern Kingdom, While Amos speaks from observation which, with all its closeness, is that of an outsider whose personal life lay far from the tulumh and the oppressions of the Northern Capital, Hosea views the state of the kingdom from within, and his book is marked by a tone of PETER H. BURKE deep pathos, akin to that of Jeremiah and expressive of the tragic isolation of the prophets' position in a society corrupt to the very core and vissible hastening toward dissolution. Amos could deliver his divine message and withdraw from the turmoil of Samaritan's gailty cities of the silent pastures whose sins he condemned and whose ruin he fore saw. For him there was no escape from the scpe of horror that defiled his native land, and the anguish that expressed itself in every page of his prophecy is the distress of pure and gentle soul, linked by the closest ties of family affection and national feeling to the sinners who were hurrying Israel onward to the door he saw so clearly, but of which they refused to hear. And so while the work of Amos was complete in a single brief mission, the prophegies of Hosea extended over a series of terrible years.—Prof. W. R. Smith, in the "Prophets of Israel." The Faulse Confidence and Security of the Rulers Amos 6:1-3 "Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kindgom, was situated on a well fortified hill. Its citizens were reckless, over secure, trusting in the strength of their forts and not in the power and favor of Jehovah. Samaria was so strong that is was thought to be impregnable, and indeed it did stand a three year siege before it was captured by the Assyrians." The leaders, the rulers of Samaria were at case, they felt secure; why shold they be perturbed; Israel was one of the most powerful nations of the times; besides their city was wel prepared, Amos, the prophet, tried in vain to arouse this people from its state of indifference and false security. Other great and mighty cities had fallen, Hamathi Gath, of the Philistines. What would keep Samaria from meeting the same fate? These rulers were completely absorbed in their folly; the blindest man is the man who will not see; those who put far away the evil day. "It is the universal way of men to wish and fancy far away the very crisis that their sins are hastening on."—Exp. Bible. The Chief Men of Samaria Wer Pleasure Mad. Amos 6: 4-6 "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills of prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay." The idle and immortal beds of ivory had the best of every thing. Like dives, they lived in luxury an displendor. Music and wines, revelry and drunkness. They were lazy and gluttoness. These pleasure mad and vice crazed society leaders had no concern for the poor, the rulers of Samaria were selfish and inhuman, they were not grieved for the affliction of Joseph, their unfortunate brethren and sisters. "Put Amos into the modern English and he denouncing the heartlessness of wealth, refinement, art, and culture, which has no car for the complaining of the poor, and that is ready to burst in tempest." Maclaren. Moses Pleads with Israel to Return to God Hosea 6; 1-5 It's wiser being good than bad, It's safer being weak than fierce; It's better being sane than mad, Brownin. The safe and sane thing to do in this world is return unto Jehovah, following on to know Him Walk in God's righteousness not a morning cloud, and as the dew your own; all of man's goodness is it soon passes away.

Goodness and kindness and fair dealing with our fellowmen count move with God than many sacrifices; a knowledge of God, a personal acquaintance with Him is worth infinitely more than the whole burnt offering. Some people have a form of godliness; but deny the power thereof. The citizen of the kingdom of heaven was recognized, not by external marks, but by Godlike dispositions, by humility, meekness, the aspiration after goodness, simplicity.—Driver. BRIGGSOGRAMS A civilization built upon materialism, graft and selfishness cannot stand. The end of the pleause mad and vice erased is shame, woe and destruction. Pleasure and vice eat the heart out of men. The consequences of sin are inevitable; they are inescapable. Is the civilization of America built on sand or a rock? Leader of Young People Rev. S. S. Morris, General Secretary of the Allen C. E. League is busy closing up the affairs of the office after a term of four years, which have been attended with unusual success. The work among the young people has developed wonderfully during the Quadrenium and Dr. Morris will go to the General Conference with the best report in the history of the Allen C. E. League. Dr Morris has travelled extensively M. the country over the west of the Rocky Mountains, covering more than 125,000 miles and witnessed a 100 percent increase in the business of the office. The entire Virginia Conference is giving its support to the General Secretary for 10 election which is now practically assured. The General Conference delegation is planning to urge a suspension of the rules at Louisville and have Dr. Morris elected by acclamation. Dr. Morris is the first member of the Virginia Conference to be honored with a high office in his church having been elected four years ago at the General Conference which convened in St. Louis while serving as pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church, this city. Dr. Morris visited the Baltimore and Delaware Conferences last week. Wednesday he left for Trenton to attend the New Jersey Conference. Next Thursday he will join the Virginia delegation enroute for Louisville, the seat of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Mamie L. Morris and Mrs. E. E. Martin, office secretaries, will be in the party. Dr. Morris will preach a special sermon to boys Sunday morning at St. John A. M. E. Church.

Scott An unusually large congregation was in attendance at Bank Street Church Sunday Morning. An instructive and inspiring sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. C. M. Long, on the subject, "Mary's Visit to the Tomb of Christ". The exercises in honor of Easter conducted by the Bank St. Sunday School were interesting and fine. The attendance being greatly in excess of the usual number present. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E. Last Sunday at 11 o'clock the pastor preached an excellent Easter sermon. This was the beginning of a new conference year and every thing bids fair for a successful year. The people are highly pleased with the return of Dr. Roberts for another year. Mrs. McAdoo, the florist, had the church beautifully decorated with lovely flowers, much to the appreciation and delight of all. Dr. C. R.

The Colored Catholic Men will play an important part in this great demonstration which will commemorate the 650th anniversary of that organization. DEAN BRIGGS' TALKS ON THE RELIGIOUS LIFE "The Opening of The Scriptures." The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple—Psa. 119; 130 Mark 12: 24—"And Jesus answering said unto them: Do yo not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God." "The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to teach it without running on the rocks or bars."—Henry Ward Beecher. It is imperative to know the scriptures. The nations are perishing for the lack of knowledge of God. The word (I God) is a lamp to our text, and a light to our pathway. The scriptures bear witness of Christ; they make wise unto salvation. The Psalmist calls upon us to hide God's Word in our hearts that we might not sin against Him. God's law (Bible) is more to be desired than gold, yea the never fine gold, sweeter than the honey in the honey comb. The Bible converts, the soul, makes wise the simple, rejoices the heart, and enlightens the eyes. You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but the thoughts of God. Not a book that can amuse you, not even a book that instructs you, but a book that you can venture an eternity. Not only a book, which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul, a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the Saviour's book and the sinners' book."—John Selden. How to Study The Scriptures Read the Bible consecutively, beginning at Genesis and reading Elder of the Norfolk District, were shipped with this congregation Sunday. This Sunday the boys will have charged of the Sunday school. The pastor will preached a special sermon to boys at 11 o'clock. The Sunday school rendered a beautiful Pantomime Sunday night, under the direction of Mrs. M. Land. The A. C. E. League holds services at 6 p.m. every Sunday. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST Last Sunday the early morning prayer meeting was very much alive. At 11:30 a.m., the pastor delivered a masterly sermon on "The Risen Christ," after this service the funeral of Mrs. Griffin's child was held. At 3 p.m., the Easter exercises were under the auspices of the Sunday school. The B. Y. P. U. convened at 5 p.m. At night the Rising Sons and Daughters of Job met in this church for their thirty-sixth annual sermon. The pastor spared no pains in giving them a great soul stirring message. The revival closed with a number of conversions and many added to the church. Next Sunday the pastor will preach a special sermon at both services. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION At 11:30 a tremendous audience listened to a great sermon delivered by Mother Baggett, which was inspiring and helpful to all present. This being Easter, Mother Baggett based her argument upon the "Resurrection of Christ." The Sunday School and A. C. E. League were very impressive. Mother Baggett has a special sermon to deliver on next Sunday at 3 p. m. to men only. GARRETT'S TEMPLE The Sunday School was attended with an overflowing crowd. At 1:30 the pastor preached from the Acts 4:33. At 7:30 Easter program of the Sunday School was had and enjoyed by all present. Rev. Garrett preached his farewell service Monday night to a vast congregation. He and the annual conference delegate, Rev. J. C.

Commit verses and whole chapters to memory. "If one has the matter in his head it will not be so hard to fix the truth in his heart." That remarkable man of faith, George Muller, said that he had read the Bible thus one hundred times, and always with increasing delight. Study the Bible by (1) topics love, peace, etc. (2) biographies lives of Abraham, David, Moses Christ, Paul; (3) books, each of the sixty-five books has its own message for on lives; (4) great chapters, Matt, 5; Cor, 13; Luke 15; Heb, 2; (5) doctrines, regeneration, sanification; (6) types, persons places, events. Dr. Haldeman's Plan--Compare scripture with scripture; 2, study slowly, study patiently, carefully powerfully, prayerfully. Read constantly. The Benefit of Bible Study The biograph of Beren were more able than those in Thessalonian, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily whether those things were so.—Act 17; 10, 11. Give the Bible the place in your family to which it is justly entitled and then through the unscarcable riches of Christ many a household among you may hereafter realize that most blessed consummation, and appear a whole family in hea- ven.—H. A. Bardman. (1) Bible study will strengthen faith.—Romans 19, 17. (2). It will add to your joy. I rejoice at thy word, as on that finest great spoil. Thy statutes rejoice the heart.—Psalm 199; 62, 19. (3) The spirit life is nourished. 1 Peter 2, 2. (4) The man of God is competely furnished, complete unto every good work.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The real spirit of Easter was grasped by the large audience last Sunday morning when the pastor preached an effective sermon from the subject, "The Larger Needs of the Resurrection", There were 3 additions to the church. Program-befitting the day were rendered by Sunday School and B. Y. P. U] The Holy Communion service was largely attended. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. Last Sunday the Sunday School went over the top with a record breaking attendance of 831. The pastor was at his best, and greatly elicited the large audience which had turned out to do honor to the riser Lord. In the afternoon the Primaries gave a very splendid Easter program under the direction of Miss S. M. Hamlin. The cantata at night by the combined choirs of the church and school was a very fine affair, and was helpful and inspiring to the magnificent audience that had turned out to hear it. Next Sunday the Rev. S. S. Morris will preach a special sermon to boys from the theme, "Boys, the Nation's Greatest Asset." Dr. Morris in connection with his work has planned a special program for boys of the race. At 7:30, the pastor will preach from the subject, "Religion and Health." On Monday at 5 p.m. all boys of the church will be mustered into the Allen Life Guard, a department of the A. C. E. League. Boys from 8 to 19 are urged to attend. ST. PETERS CHURCH OF CHRIST DISCIPLES Very good services were had on Easter Sunday, Rev. Whitefield praached an excellent sermon at 2 o'clock, and a large audience heard him preach a special sermon at night. The church began a rally which is continuing thru the week. Many ministers of the city are expected to occupy the pulpit on the various nights. NT. OLIYE BAPTIST Appropriate Easter services were held all day and record crowds were i attendance. The Sunday school presented a very beautiful Easter cantata at 3:30 whie hwas enjoy- IS JOSEPH THE OF JESUS? TO MODERN By Column IS JOSEPH THE FATHER OF JESUS? AN ANSWER TO MODERNIST PREACHERS (Continued From Last Week) THE PROPHETIC PSALMODY OF THE HEAVENLY HOAST "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host, praising God and saying GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHESTS and on EARTH, PEACE, GOOD-WILL TOWARDS MEN." This JESUS whom the modernists and scientists would now reject and banish from the consideration of the men who came into the world to be the very bedrock of UNIVERSAL PEACE. He came first, to make peace between God and fallen man; then, afterwards PEACE between Man and Man! The Nations of old just like the Nations of today, have always been searching for UNIVERSAL PEACE. Within the last five years we (the nations of the world) have eighteen to twenty-five PEACE ed by all present. At the morning services, Rev. Johnson was at his best and preached with power and inspiration taking for his subject, "The Risen Christ," he opened a new field of thought never before witnessed by this congregation. At the evening service he preached a special sermon which was as masterfully presented. Peace prevails in every department and the Lord is sending new workers to help us. A great revival campaign will be launched this Sunday. Contributions for the day, $102 15. Big Program At Holy Temple Wednesday Night The fifth anniversary services of Holy Temple, Chapel St., between Highland avenue and Queen, is in progress and have been since the first of the month. The services have been interesting and witnessed by a large attendance and good collections. The meetings will close next Wednesday night at which service the business and professional men of the city are scheduled to future a program. Attorney Walter H. Land will preside. Rev. J. L. I. Conic is pastor and his work here has contributed intensely to the progress of the church. REV. MORDECAI JOHNSON AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The Reverend Mordereal W. Johnson, of Charleston, West Virginia, is to preach at the First Baptist Church this Sunday and each night during the following week. Doctor Johnson is one of the best trained ministers in the entire country, having degrees from Morehouse College, Rochester Theological Seminary, University of Chicago, and Harvard University. At all of these institutions Dr. Johnson wa sa first honor man. His career at Harvard was so brilliant that he was offered a living salary by some wealthy Jewish leaders just to tour the country and deliver his message on the race issue. Ever since his graduation Dr. Johnson has been besieged to become dean of theological schools, to oread important commissions, to go into service as an agitator. But to all these invitations he has turned a deaf ear, preferring the work of a preacher of the gospel. It is a rare privilege to have such a man in Norfolk. The Baptist Conference has voted to make him the order of the day this Monday at one o'clock. Secretary Prof. Patterson's famous chorus from Lambert's Point will render a sacred musicale at this church this Sunday afternoon. The main feature will be the rendering of sacred cantata that drew such a crowd of both races at the Lambert's Point church on Easter Sunday night. Mr. Patterson promises to bring his entire chorus of between fifty and sixty voices. Men's Day At First Baptist of Berkley, Va. Prof. C. W. Reynolds, the Principal of the Booker T. Washington High School, will deliver an address at the First Baptist Church, Berkley, Sunday, April 27, at 3:30 o'clock. This being Men's Day, we are anxious that every man of Berkley and of adjacent territory hear this profound orator and scholar. Prof. Reynolds will be introduced to the people of Berkley by his able assistant, Prof. C. P. Southall. Music for the occasion will be furnished by an excellent male chours.

However, I did suggest as strong as I knew how that he give up teaching just as soon as he finds it financially possible to do so and become a student for at least four years more.

You may think it foolish of me that I should lend myself to such an undertaking at the bhest of a woman who had apparently betrayed and dishonored my best friend, but I had come to the point where I was beginning to believe that there was more to this affair than a mere illicit attachment between a giddy woman and a designing man. I do not mean by this that I had reached the conclusion that we had wronged Carolin' in designating her as faithless. I had her own statement to substantiate the charge. But I had reached the place where I was willing to give her a show. If she thought that she could redeem herself by the thing she was planning to do that night—whatever it was—I was willing to help her. I was not going to stand idly and see her hoodwink my friend into accepting a fraudulent explanation for her unbecoming conduct, but I was willing to sponsor her so long as she played the game with unmarked cards. As we stood there gazing speculatively at the dwelling I began to wonder if this was really the house. So far as we were concerned our mission was a blind one—one of those "under sealed order" things—and if we should blunder into the wrong house, we'd find ourselves in a messy kettle of ancient fish. To assure ourselves against mistakes of that nature I had kept track of the house numbers in that street from the time we entered it, but as I had done this in a haphazard manner, without allowing for possible vacant lots, I was not sure of my mark. But Carolin' had said something about grass and trees and lilac bushes, and a two-story unpainted house. That description fitted this place to a T. There could be no mistake. "Well, what are you going to do? Essex finally boomed into my ears, 'stand out her all night fighting mosquitoes and listening to the bullfrog chorus?' "Do? I cried, coming out of my dream, 'Why walk up there and knock. Wait! What's this guy's name?' I rummaged in the dustbins of my memory. Carolin' had informed me to inquire for Mr. Smith. I knew that wasn't the man's cognomen, but there had to be a name, and that is as good as any other. All we had to do was to knock and ask for Smith. She said that we would be admitted without any trouble. That sounded fishy, if this house was a "love nest," but Carolin' was directing the drama, and no doubt she knew the plot better than we. Norfolk Journal and Guide Boys, and Girls, don't make the By BEN GOODLOW the grass-covered walk, mounted the rickety porch which resounded loudly with our footsteps and rapped on the door. We heard chairs moving about and a shuffle of feet. Some voices murmured. I fancied I heard the plaintive cry of a child. Then the door was opened wide and a woman appeared in the aperture. Her back was to the light, making it impossible to secure a good gimpse of her face, but she was a colored woman, was reasonably young, and seemed to be rather good-looking. Not forgetting my courtesy, I doffed my hat and said as pleasantly as I could: "Good evening madam. We are looking for a certain Mr. Smith." "Come right in," she said, in a rich contralto, a hint of the South in her voice. I was a trifle amazed at the warm welcome in her tones, as I supposed we'd have to haggle a bit, but I tried to conceal my amazement. She stood aside to permit the door. Instead of entering a us to enter, after which she closed hallway or vestibule we were precipitated directly into the living room. It was a large room containing an odd assortment of furniture. I was conscious of a dressing commode, a dining table, a dundold, a sectional bookcase, another small table, and old model phonograph, a morris chair, several wicker rockers, and a few chairs commonly called kitchen chairs. The four walls were covered with many pictures. A wire rack contained dozens of postal cards. Many of the pictures on the walls were of a religious character. Severa Bible verses, printed on placards, were visible. But I was not concerned with the decorative effects of that room. The living occupants purchased my acute attention. A small, spare made man, dark-yellow as to complexion, and probably in his early thirties, was sitting in a low wicker rocker near the dining table on which stood a reading lamp. He was reading a newspaper, or had been, before we entered. His dress consisted of carpet slippers, a worn smoking jacket, and dark trousers. The bridge of his nose supported gold-rimmed glasses. To me he looked like a man of unusual intelligence—a man who had seen much of classrooms and libraries. On the floor, at his feet, or rather in the immediate vicinity of his chair, I espied a child, a pretty type of 3 or thereabout, who looked exceedingly cunning in rooms. At the time we entered the room he was engrossed in the fascinating labor of sawling groove figures in a drawing table. The members believe this huge stroke would make the country sit up and take notice that there is at least one group of citizens not satisfied with things at they are. It is said that considerable headway was made upon the plans to carry out the idea until the Knights of Bootleggers learned of what was planned, and then a counter move was started by them to have things remain just as they are. Bootleggers do not fear any organized element of society as much as they fear the wet advocates. Nobody has a chance to put the boothottenders out of business except legalized boothotters sellers. The Brotherhood and the Knights are now watching each other's next move, while the former are determined to go ahead with the petition.

The reader arose at our entrance with a pleasant smile on his face, a smile of welcome, and remained standing until the woman had found us seats. His attitude was the attitude of a man who takes pardonable pride in admitting visitors to his pleasant home. I marked him down as being one of these rare creatures that still believe in hospitality. He struck me as a man who would be grieved if you failed to enjoy your stay in his house. He was the sort of fellow one could expect handsome treatment from as his guest, and he proved this by passing vigors just as soon as he saw that we were situated. Now I enjoy a cigar, but I have learned that there are places where it is considered had taste to smoke them. I remember that I had tossed a half smoked Havana away just before reaching the house. The woman noticed my confusion and came to the rescue, as women have a habit of doing. "You may smoke if you wish?" she said, reading my obvious thots. "I enjoy the smell of a good cigar." I looked at her gratefully as I bit off the end of the weed and fished in my pocket for a match. I admire a woman who is broad-minded enough to permit a mere man a few moments of unallayed pleasure. As Kipling says, "a good cigar—that's a treat!" My glance at the woman substantiated my guess that she was young and good looking. She was very neatly attired, too, and had a classic way of arranging her hair. Like the man, she hinted of the classrooms. I lighted my cigar and reared back for a good smoke, but Essex, who is rather partial to the cigarette, stuck his in his pocket. The student, as I mentally daubed him, opened the conversation, and carried it well. Like a great many people, I have an aversion for the bombastic talker, but I have learned that there is a heap of difference between a man who talks just for the sake of talking, and the man who talks with the purpose of saying something. This man knew how to say things in a way that caught and held your attention. But Essex was growing nervous. The thing didn't look just right to him—nor me either at this stage. Our visit seemed purposeless. These people were acting too familiar—as if they expected us to call in answer to a social invitation. Folks have a motive in visiting strangers. But we were not questioned at all as to our business. We were just ushered into the room, given chairs and cigars, and our host opened up a conversation on current topics. However I was not too dull to sense the fact that there was tension in the air. The surface was smooth, but I could feel the swift cross-currents underneath. Finally George broke the ice. He was growing impatient—suspicious. "I do not know you," he said to the host, ering him keenly, a bit NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 too keenly, I thought, "nor do you know me, therefore it behooves us to come directly to a point. My name is Essex. I am connected with the Star Night Club. I came here for the purpose of meeting a gentleman who has done me an irreparable wrong. Is there another man in the house besides yourself? Do you keep paying guests?" The man could not keep that frown of perplexity from masking his dark yellow face. He turned puzzled eyes toward the woman, who in turn looked sharply at George. That look convinced me that something was radically wrong. (To be continued next week) LEAVES ALL TO WHITES; HEIRS CONTEST WILL Ex-Slave Bequeaths $3,500 In Property To Children Of Former Master Cutting Off His Own Children Montgomery, Ala. April 24. By The P. N. S.—"If a man smites you on one cheek, turn the other" finds real exemplification in the person of Daniel Freeman who disinherited his own children and willed his mage estate to the descendants of his former slave owner. Southern whites characterize Freeman's act as "loyalty and devotion for his found expression in his will bequeathing his property accumulated during the years of his freedom to the grandchildren of his former owners in preference to his own offspring." It was revealed in probate here last week that Daniel Freeman, a familiar character of the "bandanna type", after his emancipation, left property valued at approximately $3,500 to the five children of Mrs. C. W. Garrett, white, of Montgomery Mrs. Garrett was a daughter of Freeman's former owners. The bequest, the evidence showed, was made under provision of a second will. Freeman's three children are contesting the award under a testament drawn prior to the giving the property to the white persons, charging that he was unsound of mind at the time the last will was made and also that undue influence was brought to bear upon the deceased. Freeman died in February 1923. The case has attracted considerable attention in this section and many persons of both races are frank in saying Freeman's action truly exemplified "A Fool There Was." Many persons claim that the old man had been robbed as a slave by the very persons, at least their kin, whom he now endeavors to become a benefactor. CHEWING GUM AIDS DIGESTION By C. Houston Goudiss National Authority on Nutrition Publisher of The Forecast— America's Leading Food Magazine Everyone know we are given ther eating more tha we actually need but when the ta ble is heaped with good food "what a faller to do? Things are s tempting, and s palatable! We not enjoy them. But man y heavy meal which is hugely enjoy during the pro cess of eating far from enjoy ble during the process of digestion! Things are so tempting, and so palatable! Why not enjoy them? But many a heavy meal which is hugely enjoyed during the process of eating is far from enjoyable during the process of digestion! Then it is that chewing gum comes to the rescue. Dr. W. A. Evans, former commissioner of health in Chiengo, says in his book, "How to Keep Well." "To chew gum after meal aids digestion. Most people do not chew their food long enough to mix saliva with it thoroughly. The chewing of gum adds some saliva to the stomach contents. It is of more service in stimulating the stomach muscle. It is especially serviceable in helping the stomach to empty its contents. If one has overcaten and the stomach is heavy something is gained by chewing gum for half an hour, beginning two hours after eating." And it also helps to keep the teeth clean. Chicle, the base of chewing gum, is the milky juice which is secreted by the inner bark of a tropical tree known as the Achras Sapta. Only during the rainy season are the trees "bled." After being refined and sterilized, the chicle is mixed with sugar and flavoring and moulded into the familiar form which has become so popular. Martin County Commenccement Martin County, N. C.—The Martin County commencement for Rural schools was held April 16th in Williamston with quite a success. The line of parade represented 25 of the 27 schools of the County and 1800 pupils made the beautiful appearance in the uniforms the teachers selected for that purpose. The crowd was too large to be seated in any building in the city, therefore the 1800 pupils, and 1200 Abstracts From Twenty-Fifth Annual Statement of the NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY The following figures verified during convention examination conducted by North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Insurance Departments Insurance in Force $41,148,787.00 The Largest Negro Life Insurance Company in the World adults were assembled on the courthouse lawn, where Professor W.

Allen, had lined each school according to the line of parade and invited parents and friends to stand behind the schools. This was done in a short time and at 11:30 A. M., the program began. The business men of the town grave the prizes. Prizes were given for displays of industrial exhibits, Contest Work and the teacher having the largest number of pupils in the parade. The Atlantic Coast Line Rail Road Company sent a special train to bring the schools from the north and western counties. This was indeed a big day for the citizens of Martin County. There were 29 certificates given to pupils who finished the grammar grade department of the rural and graded schools. SOUTH NORWALK South Norwalk, Conn.-Find Easter services were conducted in the churches of the city Sunday and the children had a delightful time in Easter egg hunts Monday down at Rockland Road under the watchful care of deacon Taylor of Mount Zion Baptist Church. A special meeting of the Colored citizens Protective Political League of Norwalk held at Polley's Hall, Monroe street, South Norwalk, Monday, April 14. The meeting was called to order by the chairman and prayer was offered by Rev. Fuller. Music and songs were rendered by Messrs. Reid and Berriman, which was followed by a round table discussion participated in by the following: Messrs. Heilard, Whaley and Dunn. Another musical selection was rendered by Reid and Berriman, after which the vice-president, Mr. Paul Mason gave a short talk, Rev. D. C. Thomas was speaker of the day and gave a very timely address. During the serving of the coelation which followed the principal address, Rev. H. R. Cooper, who had been detained from appearing earlier, was introduced and gave a wholesome talk.

When the 1920 elections rolled around there were others who sought to convince the country that prohibition was no more a political issue. But John Barleycorn is still very much alive and politics and prohibition are yet closely wadded. In the present session of Congress there will he or has been introduced 59 bills advocating 2.75 per cent beer. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) other organizations activated by what its members believe a strike or broad liberties are proponents of these measures. Thus we find that some years after the enactment of the 8th amendment the liquor question still hawasses the lawmakers. And it will not be settled as long as the proponents and members remain dyed-in-the wool in their views. The position of the dry extremists, right or wrong, is losing popularity and the position on the rabid wets is untenable and unthinkable. Strong opposition will be manifested against all of these bills, but the chances of one of them getting thru Congress was never brighter.

AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS DECEMBER 31, 1923 BY WILLIAM BRITTON The Senate Debacle The United States Senate, often referred to as the most deliberate body in the world, is in a fair way of earning the title of being the most precipitate mob of lawmakers in the world. Dignity that once characterized the Upper House is a thing of the past. It would be good for the country if the Senate would adjourn and its members seek the solace of a salubrious clime for about sixty days. Maybe, they would return to the capitol with a clearer conception of what the country wants them to do. For three months the most deliberate body in the world has been grinding out slander, inuendo and shot at reputations. Amidst it all guilt of wrong doing points at only one man and it does nothing more than that. Its course regarding the Japanese exclusion provision of the Immigration Bill was the acme of precipitate action. Really, it is to laugh. The Senate of the United States becoming paved and allowing its preevishment to find its way into law, provided the President doesn't intervene with his veto. We, the colored citizens, may stand on the side lines and smile. We are in favor of any and all immigration restrictions for selfish interests. And maybe, it is good that Congress was all flustered up over the Japanese question in serving to detract the Southern oratory from the African question. the city Thursday on business. — The Grace Baptist Church held nine Palm Sunday services and they are looking forward to great services for Easter. — The Colored Voters League of South Norwalk, held a meeting, Monday night, 8:30 P.

Salaries, Postage, Printing and Ledger Assets Total Liability Reserve Fund as Required by Claims in Course of Adjustment Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials Disbursements Dean Kelly Miller has assayed to make a few trips to certain sections of the country and deliver addresses in interest of the All-Race Conference. From what is learned of the Dean's views as expressed in his latest speeches it appears that he hopes to encourage the organization of local All-Race Conferences or lesser Sanhedrins to co-operate with the central body. The public mind generally is not just clear on the import of the Sanhedrin. How local conclaves might function without duplicating the work of the local branches of the N. A. A. C. P. it is feared, is something that can only be explained by the Dean himself. This column has credited Kelly Miller and others who sponsored the Sanhedrin with a high purpose, but it does not see how duplication of efforts can be averted with local All-Race Conferences, National Urban League councils and N. A. A. C. P. operating in the same communities. As long as the Sanhedrin held promise of meeting annually in certain named cities, comprising in its membership delegates from all other race bettirement organizations, there was hope of it remaining a separate and distinct organization dealing with its own peculiar problem, but when local councils are formed, jealousies and differences arising out of the approach to local questions by other organizations will be inevitable. The Sanhedrin will then be on the way to becoming simply one of our many very ordinary community organizations. April 27, the last Quarterly Meeting of this conference year is to be held. The Westchester Local Preacher's Union will unite with us and will have charge of the morning and afternoon services, Presiding Elder Byrd will preach in the evening. For particular People.

NORFOLK MAY GET LINCOLN-UNION GAME NORFOLK MAY GET LINCOLN-UNION GAME Philadelphia, Pa.—It will no doubt be a great source of gratification to football followers to know that as a result of the recent meeting if the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, Virginia Union University and Lincoln University will resume football relations this fall. At this meeting, which was held in Lynchburg, Mr. H. D. Martin, representing Union and Dr. W. G. Alexander, representing Lincoln, made a tentative agreement for a game which was later ratified by the Athletic Council of the two schools. This agreement will settle the dispute whichrose as a result of the last game at Richmond between the two schools. The game will be played October 25, either in Richmond or Norfolk, Union acting as host. This will increase the interest and the number of games played by both schools among members of the C. L. A. A. Lincoln will not play West Virginia Institute this year, as the state formerly given to Lincoln by the Institute was this year given to Howard. This was a disappointment to Lincoln, as there was every reason to believe that the pleasant relations of the past two years could be continued. Lincoln will also probably play Virginia Seminary in Lynchburg and Shaw at Lincoln. Bring The Lincoln Union Game Here BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON It is announced in another article on this page that Union and Lincoln Universities have renewed our ball relationship and that the game will be staged either in Norfolk or Richmond. So far Norfolk has been assured only of major games for the season of 1924, but in the meantime it is on the threshold of receiving another. It will no doubt pay the sport fans or some versatile cometor to get in touch with authorities of the "Panthers" and bring this game to the city, beside the sea where these games are always appreciated. It is up to Union to name the city where his game is to be played and since he has received such loyal support from local sport lovers, the authorities cannot possibly deny the privilege of witnessing this riddon mole, or give us some serious consideration. The Hotel Dale Fifteen years ago, the management of the Hotel Dale undertook to ginicraft responsibility to submit to the traveling public, the opportunity to choose as a place a shade during their summer vacation, a first class hotel. This opportunity was conserved in order to supplement the old customs of be accommodated into small lodging areas, where the sanitary conditions, as a whole, were not conducive to good health. In so doing a management was confronted with numerous problems to ensure a confidence of the outdoor-in-mental SPA. The Dale is not a pictorial picture on paper, but in reality a architectural edifice — a work of art—and a moment to good taste. Every known device which makes for safety and comfort has been introduced to make the Hotel Dale as complete a living place as possible. The rooms are light and city, and luxuriously furnished and contain every modern concience, including suites with a fire, an air conditioner, a balcony of this palace, which it is and possibly to make the grace and elegance of its decorations, lightings and furnishings. The prices for the privileges, efforts and conveniences cannot be attained elsewhere for less than it is asked to pay at the Hotel Dale. Wild tales of fabulous and ostentate prices have flourished, at for the services and environments, the rates are comparatively low, and the management who have made possible this management, brightly uninterested every effort has been attributed to adjust a minimum to a maximum of service. The Hotel Dale is owned and reasonably managed by Mr. Edward W. Dale with a corps of attendants who are thoroughly experienced in every department to under their most efficient services to the guests without the last friction. It has been Mr. Dale's parental aim to operate his hostel upon a highly moral basis in order to render satisfaction in every department, and at the same time establish a present heretofore undeveloped in Racial hostels. A sojourn to Cape May will actually convince the most skeptical person that the accommodations at a Hotel Dale are uncoupled and without the least exegregation, is far the finest equipped Race hotel along the Atlantic Coastest. Considering from the numerousquiries thus far received, the management contemplates doing urgency business this season. The Hotel Dale opens May 1st and closes October 1st. Any letter of inquiry regarding information or reservations will have our very attention—Adc.

Vick took a party of girls from the Booker T. Washington School on a hike. The party left from Mrs. Vick's residence at 9 A. M. They went down the Pitchkettle Road to the school- house, where they found a very nice yard. Here they pitched a temporary basketball court with goals. A lively game was played between the Blues and Grays. The score was 15-8 in favor of the Blues. After the game an egg hunt was given in the school house. This is the school taught by Mrs. Annie Ash. The largest number of eggs was found by Madlyn Skeeter, the lucky egg was found by Vernice Skeeter. The hikers then moved up the road past Cohoon's Lake, took a cross-road which led to Little Mt. Zion School taught by Mrs. Leslie Cook and Mrs. Morman. Here luncheon was served and many games were played. After leaving this school, a stop was made at the Forks, where Mrs. Ollie Harrell teaches. Singing, running, relays and leaps took an important part in the festivities of the day. As the town clock was tolling the hour of six the merry hikers bade farewell to Mrs. Vick and the party made way to their several homes, thanking and praising their most hospitable chaperon. Those in the party were Gladys Liggins, Madlyn Skeeter, Cleo Hill, Marie Holland, Imogene Holland, Inez Smith, Effie Luke, Lucy Cooper, Mildred Parker, Marie Johnson, Estelle Mason, Katherine Daniels. NOREOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Bedtime Stories The Lincoln News Service THE REMEDY "Trade follows the flag, you know, and all this talk about the trouble we are having in building up our South American export trade is, in my opinion, simply a matter of credit extension, packing and delivery." This is what an elderly gentleman of prosperous mien, typical of "Big Business," was saying to a keen-cut "go-get-it" type of man, as I entered the smoker for a final puff before retiring. "That's just where you and the rest of our business men are all wrong. Trade does not follow the flag down there, and the sooner our exporters get wise to that the sooner they'll increase their sales in Mexico, Central and South America, Cuba, Haiti, San Domingo, Porto Rico, Virgin Islands, and the Philippine Islands," replied the "go-getter" with a deal of emphasis. "I don't quite get you. Our good are superior and our prices are right. What do you mean?" asked "Big Business." "Exactly what I said," replied the other, and I think you'll agree with me when I relate a recent experience that was an eye-opener to me. "I represent," he said, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy mining and milling machinery in this country. As a mechanical engineer and salesman I have visited many parts of the world on business for the company, and I rather pride myself on knowing as much about the psychology of salesmanship as I do about the mechanics of intricate machinery. So, when the President of my company told me to go over some specifications and be prepared to sail for Brazil within eight days, to land a big sales contract with a Brazilian firm. I felt equal to trickling anything. He gave me a pretty good expense fund and told me not to be afraid to buy few cigars and dinners in order to land the contract, which, he was sure, would not be difficult on account of my not having to compete with "made-in-Germany" salesmen Arriving at my destination, I spent a couple of days sight-seeing and incidentally giving out several interviews to the daily papers concerning the strong bond of friendship that exists between the peoples of the western hemisphere. I arranged an appointment with the President of the big mining and milling corporation whose business we were after, and when I called and was being ushered into his private office I noticed, in the general office, forty or fifty white and colored clerks. This did not strike me with any particular force, because I had observed a general mixing on the streets, in the hotels, and other public places; but I was surprised and almost shocked when the private door opened and I saw a colored man of fine appearance sitting at a mahogany desk dictating in Portuguese to a handsome and neatly attired colored female. Although I had heard something about the racial situation in Brazil, I was for a moment nonplussed when it occurred to me that here was a Negro whose final word stood between me and a $2,500,000 contract." Quiet reigned in the smoker for a moment and the "Big Business" man asked: "But where did color or racial identity enter into the awarding of a contract as long as the company was in the market for goods that you had to sell?" "That's just the point," replied the salesman. "After dismissing his stenographer, the President relaxed, handed me a perfecto, lighted one himself, and, when after a few preliminaries I asked him about the contract, he politely but firmly informed me that it would he useless for me to bid because under no circumstances would an American firm receive the contract. He admitted that possibly he was wrong; but when he told his story to me at the Club that evening where I met him as his guest, I could understand just why he felt as he did. It appears that several years ago he and his wife, accompanied by her maid, were on a pleasure and sight-seeing trip around the world. When they reached the United States they were "Jlni Crowed" everywhere they went in the South, and in Washington after the taxi-driver tried to get accommodations for then in all the large hotels where No matter if your hair is coarse and dull now, my Golden Brown Hair Dressing will bring out its natural beauty OVER NIGHT.

Address: they were refused, he took them to a small colored hotel, where their 38 pieces of haggage greatly interfered with the hotel's accommodations. He stated that this party was even humiliated in traveling to the tomb of George Washington and that in other ways they were embarrassed more than at any time in their lives. Remaining in Washington only three days, and without visiting the middle west, they returned to New York and took the first steamer for Europe. The experience, "continued the salesman," of this colored South American millionaire and the similar experiences of other, combined with the exhibitions of racial prejudices displayed by the commercial representatives we send there, have all but ruined our export trade with Brazil. All of this was an astounding revelation to me, and knocked into smitheregens my idea just expressed by you that 'Trade follows the flag.' That's all bunk. This alarming situation must be remedied or we shall lose the bulk of our trade with Brazil." "But how can we remedy it?" asked the "Big Business" man. "My solution of the problem," replied the salesman, "would be to train colored graduates from our technical schools for salesmanship, and let them cover Central America, San Domingo, Porto Rico, Virgin Islands, Brazil and other South American countries." Just then the porter told me that my berth was ready and I climbed into Upper 9 thinking of the opportunities that are opening up for the colored youth.

Madame Mamie Nighttower GOLDEN BROWN CHEMICAL CO. MEMPHIS TENN. cording to a report of the schedule committee arrangements have been made for a game on October 4, 1924, when Wilberforce University's powerful aggregation opens the season against a white team, Carroll College, of Cleveland, Ohio. Several years ago when J. Sherman Humburt, now principal of McKinley School, Topeka, Kansas, was manager of the football team at Wilberforce, the local eleven played annually with Antioch College, (white) at Yellow Springs, Ohio, and Cedarvill College, (white) Cedarvill, Ohio, and Pippeyanoe City team. He also managed the baseball team and played with Otterbein, Springfield, Ohio, Tipnycanoe City, Cedarville, Antioch, Capital City College, and Ohio Medical College of Columbus, Ohio. These same teams also were on the Wilberforce University schedule during the ten years prior to Humburt's regime, when Richard C. Holland, now of Washington, D. C., was manager of the baseball and football teams. At least for fifteen years Wilberforce played white teams throughout Ohio. It is, therefore, nothing ting back to be recognize by her the great State of Ohio. Will Organize Big Five In Collegiate Floor Circles Washington, D. C., April 10—(P. N.

According to the arrangements each team will meet the other team twice during the season. Once at home and once abroad. It is said that other colleges are expected to join the group as soon as they have suitable playing floors. For particular People. Velmont Hair Dressing.

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. Our leading politicians will soon be broadcasting, and what some of them lack in depth they will make up in length. Outdoor recreation and sports were never more popular than now, and it is a good presage of better health for the people. The efforts being made by the principals of the city schools to make Boys' Week a success should receive the encouragement of our whole population. Especially should the colored citizens make an endeavor to give their boys creditable representation in the Loyalty Day parade. In the boy we have the future man, and strong, conscientious, fearless Negro men must be evolved from our boys if we are to make headway in the rivalry and strife of the future. Churches, fraternities, business men and all would do well to interest themselves in this movement to the end that our boys share the benefits of Boys' Week. American troops will soon be withdrawn from Santo Domingo and the troops in Haiti which have been scattered over the country are now concentrated in Port-au-Prince, the native police being considered capable of protecting life and property. This is all a distinct advance. It is said by a correspondent, in summing up the work of the American occupation, that the Haitians have grown stronger, law and order are better observed, health conditions are being improved and the people getting more and better results in their many industries. What Haiti has always needed most were law and order in administration and honesty in handling the public revenues. Revolutions have been the curse and undoing of Haiti. Roland Hayes and the Germans Roland Hayes and the Germans The German Nationalists are up in arms against the appearance of Roland Hayes at Prague, where he charmed thousands last year, in a return engagement, and the Nationalist element at least show how low cultural Germany has fallen by the terms of their protest against the appearance of the Negro American tenor. In their statement they say: "Shall we be forced to permit a voice reminiscent of the African jungles and the cotton fields of Texas to sing the classic music of our masters when we are harassed by colored troops of occupation?" That is a begging of the question. Mr. Hayes has already answered the question by his appearances in Germany last year, when his mastery of the German language and interpretation of the German music were accepted at their face value, and he did so while the French Negro troops were stationed in the Rhineland, as they now are. The German Nationalist want the monarchy restored; they are opposed to a German Republic. That shows that they are of a low intelligence and patriotism. By the nature of them what they are objecting to in Roland Hayes is not the French Negro soldiery in the Rhineland but the splendid service the American Negro soldiers rendered in crushing the Kaiser and German militarism in the World War, and for which service the French gave them such unstinted praise and honor. As imperialists the Nationalists, not on his account but on account of the service of Negro American soldiers in the World War, are warring on Roland Hayes. It is human, perhaps, but nonetheless brutal, and Mr. Hayes and the African people will survive it. And all Americans will have to stand by Roland Hayes. He has become an international personage. --- Editorial Page of Are There Natural Race Barriers? The Suffolk News, a journal whose penetrating analysis and forceful expositions have generally commanded a very high regard for its opinions on public matters, in its discussion with Dr. J. W. Pierce, a prominent colored physician of Suffolk on Negro office holding in the South, sets up a contention that fails to measure up to the usual logical and convincing polemics of that paper. It is plain that the News' dissertation is dictated upon a faulty premise—that premise being the ready assumption it sets up in these lines: "The barrier between the races was raised by the Creator and it cannot be broken down politically or socially without great harm. The attempt to do it always results in injury to the numerically weak. It behooves the leaders of the Negro to face the facts as they exist and to teach their followers the futility of breaking down natural laws." The above quotation is only an extract from a single paragraph of the News' contention, but it is the crux of the whole argument. It is a false hypothesis and the discussion based on it is faulty. There is no positive proof in existence that the Creator has raised impassable barriers between the races of the earth; on the other hand there is a preponderance of evidence to the contrary. The barriers that divide the races are not the divinations of the Creator, but the instigations of men who have arrogated to themselves a self superiority over other races of men. Natural laws have such a persistent way of disregarding the unnatural barriers that men are continuously enacting laws, rules and treaties in an effort to make real the cleavage. Races are superior and inferior to each other only in respect to their intellectual and material attainments and superiority must fail in proportion as the opportunities to advance are gained by the inferiors. In an article appearing elsewhere on this page under the caption "As I See It," Mr. Charles Dietrich, a white writer—of note asks: "By what right do we claim superiority over any other race? Birth is purely an accident, and we all spring from the same source." Mr. Richard Edmonds, writing in his influential journal, the Manufacturers' Record for the current month on the Negro exodus says: "The Negro problem is largely a problem of education. White supremacy is based on white superiority and during this and many succeeding generations it will remain a very real supremacy. But the present conditions cannot last. That is abundantly proved by the struggle that is going on, and the great change that is apparent even within the span of one generation. Conditions are changing, but they are changing as a result of a struggle, not as a result of the whole-hearted and efficient co-operation we should give." Speaking further of the two races, the Suffolk News adds: "But neither will succeed thru attempts to destroy barriers erected by an all-wise Creator for the preservation of their integrity." If the all-wise Creator erected barriers for the preservation of racial integrity, why Virginia's latest miscengation law and other humiliating and ignomious laws designed particularly to stamp inferiority upon a race. The News set up the implication that in a Republic citizenship and the right of suffrage may be entirely divorced. Any element of society that contributes to the support of society's government thru the payment of taxes and spills its blood for the preservation of that government against its enemies is entitled to a participation in the affairs of that government, according to its ability to interpret governmental amenities. In answer to a questionnaire sent out by the Manufacturers' Record to a number of Chambers of Commerce located in the industrial centers of the North and West asking an expression on Negro migration as it effects the North and South, the Chicago Chamber made this comment: "At the same time there must be a happy medium reached at which the Negro will be permitted a wider participation in political affaairs so that he will feel he has his part as a citizen in governmental affairs." The Suffolk News is correct in its assertion that the South considers the Negro office holder an affront, but when it avers that he will never be tolerated Norfolk Journal and Guide it goes too far. Eternity is a long time and none of us today can predict what tomorrow holds. Japan Greatly Offended By a vote of 76 to 2, the Federal Senate has set aside "the gentleman's agreement" with Japan and adopted strict exclusion from the country of all Japanese. It is said that the Senate was prompted to run wild in this fashion because of a sentence in Ambassador Hanihara's recent letter to Secretary Hughes, in which he spoke of "grave consequences" of singling out the Japanese as "unworthy and undesirable in the eyes of the American people." The Ambassador's protest and warning were regarded by the Senators as a threat and they promptly bumped themselves into a mob psychology and ran amuck in the voting. American Senatorial dignity and courtesy have become majestic and awful things, in the name of which some very absurd, ridiculous and hurtful action have been taken. "The Senate a mob," says the New York World. And that is what the action of the Senate must be reduced to, not only in this Japanese business but in the wall-cyed investigations it has been wasting time upon instead of referring most of the matter to a grand jury, deferring urgent and necessary business of legislation which can now hardly be perfected during the present session. The World says further, and it says truly: "If we permit the Senate to continue lagging the rest of the world we shall end by having no friend among the great peoples of the earth. This one measure alone will extortage not only Japan but all of Asia." The Japanese are greatly offended in their pride of race and Nation. Some Americans have no respect for such pride in others while being sticklers for it for themselves, and they may be called upon some time to pay for their lack of it. "Go To High School, Go To College The annual Go to High School, Go to College campaign which has been conducted for the past four years by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has gained impetus each year, sweeping its message to five million people in 1923 and promising to reach a greater number this year. That is gratifying. Summed up in the slogan "Go to High School, Go to College" is what has been a basic need of all races in all ages—education. but it is doubtful if in any age it has been more imperatively necessary to any group of people than it is to the Negro in this modern day. Ignorance, always a curse, may not be a great handicap in a time and place when and where ignorance is bliss, but it is a ponderous handicap to anybody in a day and world such as we live in. Much emphasis has been placed on the need of an educated leadership, but no less needed are intelligent masses. To arouse a nation-wide zeal for a complete education among the youth of the race is a worthy undertaking that should inspire every parent to make the necessary sacrifices to the end that their own children may have the benefits of learn- --- Of the total number of colored children, 10 to 15 years of age, 23.7 per cent live in cities, and 76.3 per cent live in the rural districts. It is about time for the regular spring movement of labor to northern fields. The past year or two have created great difficulties which the individual enterprises have tried to solve on their own initiative each acting alone. The frequent turn-over in labor is one of the disturbing factors and lowers the efficiency and productive capacity to the minimum. It will cause a loss in industry where since there was a profit. It is highly expensive and a real cost in industrial endeavor. The general opinion is that the movement of labor this year will not be as heavy as last, but that it will be felt among all industrial concerns as well as in agricultural pursuits. There is no cut and dried way to prevent it. The most certain, however, is to meet the high wages of the North in a measure and pass the bill on to the consumer. That is what those are doing who are taking away the unskilled labor of the South. This is the one sure way of stopping the flow northward. The colored laborer would prefer staying here and will stay if the compensation justifies it. 10 A Negro is worth three dollars a day in the mills of Pennsylvania he feels that he is worth as much here. That is all there is to that side of the subject. Then the moving away of thousands of colored laborers is a community problem. It is an economic loss that will be felt by the whole population in many ways. It is unfair to the industrial plants to expect them to solve the problem alone. The public must take a hand and do its part. Better living conditions cut less figure and are of smaller importance than better wages, but the two go hand in hand. Good homes, sanitary surroundings, reasonable rentals and better schools will help to clarify the atmosphere. But the key to the whole problem lies in anchoring the Negro mill hand in his own home. The civic organizations should keep in close touch with the industries and with the Negro center and be in position to get at the root of the troubles that beset the South in connection with its labor market. By so doing, excellent work can be done and employer and employee brought together in open-minded relations that will bear good fruit. The matter of wages is among those of first importance, but a better understanding between all so that each will see the other's point of view will help solve a serious problem. It cannot be solved by abuse, high license tax on labor agencies or other artificial methods. This is a case for the application of common sense in the light of experience. The Negro wants to remain here. We desire to keep him here. Who is foolish enough to say that it cannot be done? Have we really tried? As I See It The Brooklyn Center, the weekly magazine of the Central Branch of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. (wine), recently published the following editorial discussion of the Negro question in America. Gu Charlie: W. Dietrich Can anything be more dramatic or pathetic than this? Is it not a shame and disgrace that in Christian America, "the land of the free and the home of the brave, where every man is supposed to have an equal chance, there should be any group of people who for reasons for which they are not in any way responsible, be ostracized, subjected to all kinds of humiliating experiences, and denied the privilege of taking their place in society and in business on an equal footing with their fellows? We seem to think that having freed the Negro from slavery at great sacrifice, and endowed him with citizenship, that he has no further claim upon us; but it is well to remember that the issue of the Civil War was not the freedom of the slave, but whether or not a group of states should have the right to secede from the Union, and the Emancipation Proclamation was a mere incident in this great struggle. Furthermore, we deserve no special credit for freeing the slaves, for he should never have been put in bondage to the slave man, and the fact that he was, places an under obligation to be everything in our power to atone for the great injustice that was done him. As we analyze the situation, what we find to be the basis of our attitude toward the Negro? It is at along his color, for East India as black as the arc of spades with our country, are welled in the highest circles of society, and shown every consideration. It is not due to a lower mentality, for there is abundant evidence to prove that the Negro-within-legal conduential advantages is poor of the white man. It is not due to criminal tendencies and their general behavior, for the percentage of Negroes in our penal institutions is no higher than that of the white race, and their deportment in general is beyond criticism. It is not that they make unacceptable citizens, for they manifest as high a degree of intelligence in the exercise of the franchise as any other race. What then is the reason for this shameful, un-christian attitude? Nothing more than prejudice, and that is no reason at all. The mere fact that one has Negro blood in his vein, even though he has a white skin, and is educated, cultured and polished, is enough to condemn him to a choice of isolation, and depive him of the right to a place of friendship among his fellow-citizens, to be within the circles of his own race. He who might die we claim superiority over any other needy child, perhaps no needless, and we will stray from the one source of children in a certain Father as play in the fact that God is our master of persons, and yet we the children, assume to regard superior to others and subject them to the worst sort of economy and humiliation. I am reminded of the words of Jesus: "Who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned in the midst of the sea." For many years prior to the Civil War there were groups of people in the North known as Abtildists, who engaged in an active propaganda to crystallize sentiment favorable to the release of slaves from the bondage of servi- Saturday, April 26, 1924 tude, and their efforts were ultimately crowned with success. Is there not a great need today for an organized effort on the part of those who believe in fair play, the brotherhood of man and an equal chance for all, to liberate our fellow citizen, the Negro, from the social, industrial and commercial shackles that stand in the way of his taking his rightful place among his fellows? "By Sanction of Law" There has just appeared from the presses of B. J. Brimmer Co. publishers, a novel, "By Sanction of Law," by Joshua H. Jones, Jr., a Boston colored man. Mr. Jones is a graduate of Brown University. He was a member of the editorial staff of a large white daily, the Boston Post. When the Boston Telegram was launched, he joined its editorial staff, and much of that paper's success in the crowded Boston daily newspaper field has been attributed to Jones' experience and labors. Shortly after his election, Mayor Curley invited Mr. Jones to become his personal secretary. Jones desires a career in "Belles Lettres" and while the political post was not appealing to him, he accepted it, from a sense of civic and racial duty. He has been made Acting Editor of the City Record, the official organ of the government of the city of Boston. Jones, withal, is a poet, whose work exhibits a keen appreciation of the forces of human life and a thorough knowledge of technic; and he has published two volumes of verses. He also wrote the words to the song, "Dear Old Boston," the official song of the city. "By Sanction of Law" is the first out and out novel written by an American Negro. It has been called the best defense of the name written since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and an answer to "The Grassman" and "The Birth of a Nation." Its opening pages picture the deployable condition of race in the South, because of the threat of the white people generally to the criminal justice system of the South. The author says that the country can be unified and unthreatened if the white people are colored and committed to the cause of the country and are freed. The necessary story goes through the needy and deaf in a way that makes the reader's heart beat with those of the losers and contains many cognitively tender passages. The book abounds in tense dramatic situations, interactively worked up and solved. The plot is well sustained, and the whole work is one of great merit. Jeshua Jones has, in one bound, leaped into the select company of narcissists who tell the story of a whole people in their book, that generations may be influenced by it, that the mobility and sufferings of that people may be better understood, and that thereby they may be recorded treatment more nearly able to justice. AWARD OF $200 FOLKLORE PRIZE Washington, D. C. — At the Spring Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History held in Philadelphia on the 3rd and 4th of this month there was awarded the Folkore Prize offered by the Association in cooperation with the American Folkore Society. The committee on award found that the best two collections had equal merit. The prize was, therefore, divided between these two, which were submitted by Miss Helene M. Grier, a student of Hampton Institute, and the St. Helena Folkore Society of the Penn School, Frogmore South Carolina. A prize of $200 is offered jointly by these societies for the best collection of tales, riddles, proverbs, sayings and songs, which have been heard at home by Negro students of accredited schools. The aim is to study the Negro mind in relation to its environment at various periods in the history of the race and in different parts of the world. Students desiring to compete should give their names to the head of their institution that he may forward them to the Director of the Association, who will answer all necessary inquiries. Only stories, riddles, and the like that have been heard should be collected; stories or riddles from books or those composed by the collector should not be included. They will not be counted. In all cases the story, riddle or song should be written as heard in exactly the same language. If they have been heard in dialect, they should be written in dialect, if they have been heard in school English, then they should be written in school English. Send To Dr. Wendon. When possible, make a company says. Also, when possible, the man and lady of the person form whom the song to title was heard, should be given. Collections should be sent to Dr. C. G. Woodburn, at 1528 North St. Northwest, Washington a. D. C. at any time before August 1, 1924. Collections may be sent in two or more parts, and competitors are advised to send the first part of their collection in the near future that they may have the opportunity of receiving suggestions about methods of continuing and completing their collection during the summer vacation.

Plume Editor Journal and Guide: Sir - Your editorial under the caption "Dangerous Legislation" brings to my memory one of the saddest periods in my life - year when my father and family lived in peonage in Lowndes county, Alabama. My father and mother at that time, 1879, had seven children, four boys and three girls. None of us were grown. We had been living in Marengo county, near Uniontown, Alabama, when there came to our county a man, Col. Hawkins, from Lowndes county, who by false representations persuaded my father as he did a number of others to come to his plantation to work. At this time there was on the statute books of Alamanda a law in effect similar to the one recently passed in this state to which your editorial referred, and let me tell the effect of it there. We were promised a good house to live in, board and ten dollars a month per hand. Well do I remember that it was necessary for my father to have two of us paired to make one hand. When we had settled on the farm and signed the contract for the year my father was informed that the board consisted of one peck of corn-meal and three and one-half pounds of salt pork per hand per week. By doubling us up—a family of nine, excepting mother who refused to sign and become a farm hand—we made up five hands and were therefore entitled to five pecks of corn meal and seventeen and one-half pounds of salt pork per week. No salt, flour, sugar, coffee, tea, nor any kind of vegetables. These and to be secured from the commissary or general farm store as extra rations and charged at full price and 25 per cent interest. It may be seen at once that $86, a month for seven persons, due to the doubling to make five farm hands, that the extra rations would prove quite an item of expense when one considers the clothes, shoes, hats and incidentals that had to be bought "on time" and charged against our wages at 25 per cent interest. During July and August — “worn out” the children’’pardon’’ that is when the children’’could be worked more because it and grown to the size of boards and the carp, had I matured sufficiently to pull the oars, our rations were cut down meal only for those two months. Think of it, only meal for five or six weeks provided for a family of nine. The law provided that no farm band or hands could move from a farm so long as his or their debts to the farmer were not fully paid and from the above it is easy to see how much debts of necessity had to be made with no possible chance of paying them. As I write this I can hardly restrain my tears as I remember the severe sacrifices my mother made to save us from a form of slavery legalized by a law so unjustly passed and imposed upon an ignorant people only a few years removed from legalized slavery. I These memories are sad and end when they arise in me. I go to God that every effort be to carry your editorial—to so the alarm to the remotest of our state-tell preachers preach about it and teachers teach about it and every everywhere sound the warning anyone should become a victim this new law. And we should parenew to test it in the our Very truly
