Instead of using the complete isolation method such as prevailed in the islands durdisease scourges for centuries, a method familiar to America the early part of the 20th century. Dr. Jones introduced the use of wholesome vaccination—the adopted several years ago by both authorities of the United States—with such excellent results in medical authorities in England took notice of his work.

Fifth, the divided church is interested in present the father of God to a distracted and unhappy world. Until the church itself becomes a brotherhood, it does not teach brotherhood.

A number of Norfolk school boys, students of Bocker T. W. Washington high school, who are spending their vacations working aboard the Merchants and Miners ship Allegheny, participated in the heroic rescue of members of the passenger list of the steamship Three Rivers which burned on the Chesapeake Bay, off Sandy Point on the night of July 1. The alarm from the S. S. Three Rivers, bound for Baltimore from Washington, was first conveyed to members of the Allegheny crew by James Jones, of this city, who was on watch at the time of the disaster. Immediately the alarm was sounded aboard the S. S. Allegheny which was bound to Jacksonville. Flu. Every man was ready to aid in the rescue of those aboard the ill-fated Three Rivers. The five life boats lowered from the Merchants and Miners ship succeeded in rescuing about 45 disaster victims, who numbered about 150, mostly women and children. Prompt and heroic service by the crew of the rescuing vessels is said to have prevented a heavier casualty list. About one-fourth of the Three River's passengers lost their lives. Norfolk lads who assisted in the recue were Scott Brisco, Clarence Willis, Clarence Snead and Robert Lee, all students of the local high school. A very remarkable flight of the painted lady butterfly is reported to the United States Department of Agriculture from California, estimates running into the billions of individuals. This has been followed by a serious outbreak of caterpillars, which are attacking garden plants of all kinds. DRINK NORFOLK LOSES A. C. E. LEAGUE GENERAL OFFICE Rev. S. S. Morris, General Secretary, Transferring His Headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee, this Week. ACTION CONSIDERED COMMUNITY'S LOSS Rev. S. S. Morris, General Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the A. M. E. Church, the headquarters of which have been located in the Metropolitan Bank Building here for the past four years will remove the office to Nashville, Tenn., this week. It has been generally known in this city for time that the A. M. E. Church contemplated transferring the general office of the Allen League department to the Tennessee city, where the Sunday School Publishing Board has headquarters, but the news was received here with a sort of a reluctance, born of hope that the idea might be abandoned. Final announcement that plans for making the change have been arranged and Rev. Morris will remove the office this week was received here with genuine expressions of regret by local citizens. YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT The Allen Christian Endeavor League of the A. M. E. Church is a department devoted to the interests of the young people of the denomination. Its influence touches the lives of thousands of them throughout the country. Of several thousand local leagues in the United States, each annually in some manner, has dealings with the general office, which has herefore been located in this city. The office, although its activities have been confined exclusively to its designated purposes, has become to be regarded as a substantial business asset to this community. Assistants have been constantly employed and the volume (Continued on Page Fire) Citizen Sends Letter To City Hall Pointing Out Conditions in Huntersville. Frequent and heavy rains of this summer have put some of the streets of the city in a bad condition, especially in certain neighborhoods where the colored population is densest. Not only does the condition of these streets seriously inconvenience a number of residents in getting to and from their homes, but the mud holes and stagnant water in them are a constant menace to the health of those living in the section. Interesting himself in this master as it pertains to certain streets in Hunterville, Mr. Walter Smith of Hunter street, has addressed a letter to City Manager Causey calling his attention to what he believes to be the seriousness of the situation. Mr. Smith's letter points out that in Fremont street deep mud holes and green colored stagnant water have made the thoroughfare almost impassable, and aroused considerable anxiety among the people living in the neighborhood as to the safety of the health of their families. He also states that Hunter street from A avenue to Fremont street has been a reservoir for stagnant water for several years on account of the lack of sewer drainage in that block. The condition of these streets, Mr. Smith's letter reminds the City Manager, could be corrected by some grading and filling on Fremont, and the installation of connecting sewers in the undrained sections of Hunter street followed by filling and grading. This could be done at a very nominal cost, the letter states, and would eliminate what is now a nuisance and a health menace. Mr. Smith also suggests that the two large trees near the corner of A avenue on Hunter street be re- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1924 SANTO DOMINGO RATIFIES PACT Washington, D.

The State Department has been advised that the Congress of the Dominican Republic has ratified the agreement of evacuation of that republic by the military forces of the United States, entered into at Washington, D.

INDIANS HAVE RIGHT TO VOTE NEXT ELECTION New Citizenship Act Automatically Makes Thousands of Native-Born Indians Citizens of the United States. LACK OF FACILITIES ON RESERVATIONS Washington, D. C., July 16—With the fall elections-American Indians will have the right to vote as a result of the passing of the Citizenship Act at the last session of Congress. With the passage of the law every native-born Indian in the United States automatically became a citizen. Commissioner Burke recently estimating the number at approximately 125,000. At least one-fourth of this number it is estimated/drldrldtashrdluym it is calculated, are adults and therefore entitled to vote except in states where the election laws fix certain qualifications, such as educational, property ownership or payment of poll taxes, that the new Indian citizens may not be able to meet. However, this condition is believed by authorities on the subject to be only a minor hindrance to the newly enfranchised Indians going to the polls, the chief obstacle mentioned being the lack of organized machinery. Most of the Indians, it is pointed out, live on closed reservations located in unorganized counties where there are no officials to provide the necessary ballots, polling places and other election facilities. Not only the Indians in the particular circumstances described are prevented from casting their votes, but even white citizens living on the reservations have no such opportunity. In one or two states, however this condition is said to have been remedied by counties bordering or Indian reservations permitting the citizens in unorganized jurisdictions to cast their ballots in the adjoining counties. More than 200,000 Indians had been made citizens before the passage of the new citizenship act and a large percentage of these are said to be placed in the similar position of not being able to vote solely because the facilities enable them to exercise this right are not available. Uptown Concern Takes Over Entire First Floor of Liberty Building for Ten Years. What seems to indicate a tendency toward improvement of business conditions in the up-town section took place last week when a substantial lease-deal on the ground floor of the Liberty Building at the corner of Church street and Princess Anne road was put thru by an uptown real estate operator. The Liberty Confectionary Company, now conducting business in the corner store of the building were the lessees, taking over the entire first floor for a term of ten years at an aggregate rental of $25,000.

In a public statement given out here Sunday, Mr. Edward Henry, the club's president, said: "I am for John W.

Mr. Henry is a lawyer and for more than seven years practised in Clarksburg, W. Va. "John W. Davis is a man of destiny and bound to win," he continued. "He has been my friend for years.

Potato digging season is at its height on the Eastern Shore and farmers are giving employment to every man, woman and child they can get. Hundreds of people, including, in some instances entire families, left the city this week for the potato fields. Reports coming back here state that the planters' agents meet every incoming boat or train to the shore and anxiously solicit workers. The yield is good, and "good" money is being made by the field hands, it is also reported. The majority of the workers who go from Norfolk return for the week-end in order to attend their churches on Sunday, however, a few stay longer periods. And there are a larger number who will not return to the city for more than a couple of days at a time before late fall. The canning season will follow the close of the potato season and some of those who work the seasons on the shore take advantage of the entire harvest. Some of the women have told their friends here that they have earned as high as $8.00 a day in the potato fields this week.

WILL THE 1924 ELECTION BE HOUSE OF R During the pre-convention campaign of both the Republicans and Democrats when Senator Robert H. LaFollette, of Wisconsin was maintaining a sphinx-like attitude regarding his course in regard to either, speculation was to the point that in event he bolted the Old Guard and headed a third ticket, the action would most likely result in throwing the presidential election into the House of Representatives. Both major parties have named their candidates. Senator LaFollette will lead a third party ticket. Will be succeed in drawing enough states away from Davis and Coolidge to cause the Lower House to have to decide the election? On this absorbing topic the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch in its issue of July 14 carried editorially under the capitation, "Is A Deadlock Probable," an impartial, highly interesting discussion. As the campaign grows in intensity, so will this question grow in importance. The Journal and Guide will endeavor to present what may be considered impartial, worthwhile views of those in a position to draw reasonable and authoritative conclusions on the subject. Below is printed the discussion of the topic as appeared in the Ledger-Dispatch: IS A DEADLOCK PROBABLE? Several factors must be considered in arriving at any conclusion that the presidential election in November will be deadlocked through the third party headed by Senator LaFollette taking enough states from Coolidge and Davis to prevent either from getting a majority in the electoral college: First: LaFollette must develop as much if not more strength than did Roosevelt in 1912. Second: The Republican party must disintegrate to the extent it did twelve ears ago. This is the Ac the Big P Third: The Democrats must show less strength than did Wilson in that year. "These conclusions are of course obvious but are necessary in the consideration of a possible deadlock, which would throw the election of a President into the house of representatives of a vice-president into the senate. There are 531 votes in electoral college, making 266 necessary to a choice, and the latter figure is the crux of the entire situation. "Little short of a political revolution in the west which would enable Senator LaFollette to carry a dozen states would tie up the election, and that does not appear within the realm of likelihood even granting that the Wisconsin senator is stronger generally in the so-called farmer states than Colonel Roosevelt was in 1912. It is true that Roosevelt drew his vote from all classes the wealthy, the labor the farmer, and the great unorganized class of just plain citizens, while LaFollette is dependent almost entirely on the farmer and labor vote, admittedly strong in the tie of states with radical tendencies, but there he stops. Colonel Roosevelt's power was widespread, so much so that he was able to convince millions of the impotency of the Taft administration, and to enable Wilson to gather many ordinarily Republican states, while he and Taft divided the remainder, Roosevelt being strong in the cast where LaFollette is not. "Under the present conditions, the eastern states which usually follow the lead of New York are apparently resting in the smug satisfaction with the Coolidge administration. They want no change despite the failure of the President to prove a leader with his own party in congress. They Believe, however, that Mr. Coolidge will be strong enough even with a recalcitrant congress of Republicans or with one like the present, controlled by a coalition of Democrats and insurgents to prevent an radical legislation, whereas if the Democrats were to secure control of the executive and legislation branches—their equilibrium would in the very nature of things be disturbed. "However, the Republican party organization is in far better shape than in 1912. LaFollette has not the advantage of that vast army of former office-holders, who followed Roosevelt and who were able to build bulwarks which wrecked Taft's formidable outfit, and split the party—lock, stock and barrel. Consequently there is no reason to believe that the Republican organization is anything like as weak as in 1912. "As for the Democratic ticket this year. In no disparagement of the wonderful power on the imagination of the people which the war president held even in the beginning of his career as a national figure, John W. Davis starts out with an equal to that made by Mr. Wilson when he carried his ideas on the stump. No one knew before his speech of acceptance exactly where Mr. Wilson stood on many vital issues. He was a progressive, of course, but that covered such a wide field that there were misgivings at both extremes. "Today Mr. Davis is well understood or will be within the next few weeks. In addition he has an entering wedge in the radical states, which Mr. Wilson did not possess—and that is through his running mate, Governor Charles W. Bryan, of Nebraska. It would be idle to say the Davis-Bryan ticket is stronger than that of Wilson and Marshall in 1912, but the balance sheet would seem to show that where Mr. Davis is stronger, Mr. Wilson was weaker at comparative stages of the game and vice versa." "Whoever Senator LaFollette selects as vice-president will play a prominent part in the Wisconsin's strength; also the character of response which labor makes to the appeal for $5,000,600 in campaign funds for political campaigns cost money even where a candidate runs in response to a great public clamor—such as LaFollette believes he is answering. "While talk of a deadlock makes inter-ing reading on the heels of the absorbing proceedings of the Democratic convention, it serves principally to emphasize that the battle of 1924 will be fought in the west, where the Coolidge ticket is admittedly weak, where LaFollette has great initial strength, and where Davis and Bryan must make their fight between now and November. The result depends on the character of the appeal the Democrats put forth, the efficiency of their organization, and how near they come counteracting the LaFollette propaganda in the dissatisfied areas. That Mr. Davis himself realized and appreciates that. "The Winning of the West" is his particular task this year is shown by his selection of Governor Bryan as his running-mate." Head Of Colored Republican Club Out For Davis (Continued from Page One) will never consent to any citizen being deprived of their Constitutional rights as long as I have a voice to oppose it." And today colored people live in peace in the home state of John W. Davis. If he still stands, as I know he does, where he stood in the old times, I am going to take the stump for him all over the land." The stand taken by Attorney Henry, long an active Republican, will probably cause him to resign from the Citizens' Republican Club, the Lincoln League and the steering committee of the Conference of Colored Republican Voters, of which he is secretary. Major R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens, & Southern Banking Company, one of the largest Negro banks in the United States, recalled yesterday that, as Ambassador to England, Mr. Davis had been exceedingly kind to him when he was abroad on Government service in 1917. The Ambassador enabled him to hear Lloyd George speak by giving him his last ticket. He also assisted Major Wright to proper introduction to Marshal Foch, Premier Clemenceau, President Poincaré and other notables. Since the nomination of Mr. Davis colored political leaders have raked his record. And, although endorsements of him by Negroes have been few, more on account of the fact that he is a Democrat, it is considered significant that as yet none have found honest ground for assailing his public career as it has touched colored Americans. Then, too, it is known that Mr. Davis hails from a state where Negroes have always participated freely in politically affairs. Laborers Fleeced By Crooks Posing As Labor Agents Jail sentences were imposed in Police Court Wednesday on two grafters who recently have obtained large sums of money from reputable colored persons eager to find employment in other cities. Confronted with seven of their NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE SMALL-POX SCARE IN PITTSBURGH Pittsburg, Pa., July 17—(P. N. N.）—Considerable anxiety is being manifested among race men and women of Pittsburgh at this time, due to the prevalence of a large number of cases of small-pox. City officials have taken strenuous means to prevent the spread of the epidemic by ordering everybody to be vaccinated. It appears that the situation is in hand and that fraternal delegations from various parts of the country need have no fear in coming to attend any of the three large conventions to be held here, this summer. here this summer. The fraternal societies of Pittsburgh are making magnificent preparations to entertain the 50,000 visitors expected in the city during the various conventions in August and September. No pains are being spared for the entertainment of the visitors. Quite a number of unique entertainment features are planned and it is said that the fraternal societies of this section expect to eclipse anything in the history of fraternal conventions. victims, the prisoners, Charles Martin and James Franklin, both Negroes, pleaded guilty. Each was sent to jail for 90 days. Immediately after the trial, warning was issued that other crooks, bent up nanking the last dollar from men and women seeking work, were operating here. The police were order to round them up, and Justice Spindle indicated that they would receive no mercy at the hands of the court. Posing an employment agents, Martin and Franklin went about town advertising by word and mouth, that a manufacturing plant at Youngstown, Ohio, had sent here to get employees who would be paid $6.50 a day, that a working day there was eight hours, and that homes and clothing and trans- portation would be provided free of cost. The offer would have been worth while if made in good faith, and believing the agents, many persons agreed to go. They were informed, however, by the firm flammers that each workman would be required to deposit $5 for payment of Pullman fares and meals entrée. Just how many persons paid the fee for the food job was not made clear in court, but the number is said to have been large. One party of victims assembled at Campostella and, according to orders from the agents proceeded to the Chesapeake and Ohio Station, where Martin and Franklin were to meet and escort them to Newport News, at which point they would be put aboard special Pullman cars for Youngstown. They went to the station and waited. But the agents did not appear. Then they appealed to the police. Detectives Spencer and Stanley were put on the case and in a little while they had the agents behind bars. One of the victims told the court that when he turned over his $5 to Martin, the later put it with a roll of bills as big and as thick as a man's neck, which led to the belief that hundreds had been leeched in recent weeks. The prisoners agreed to give back $5 to each of the seven complainants in court, and it is expected that many others who paid the fee for Pullmans and meals will be forthcoming with demands for a refund, but with little hope of getting it. Other grafters seeking to impose on colored people are operating on similar lines, the police said.—Va.

CAUSE EQUIRY NOTICE TO ALL TEAMS Any athletic organization, wherever situated, is asked to send in reports of their baseball games, tennis matches or any other form of competition to the Sports Editor of the Journal and Guide before Tuesday afternoons.—P. B. Y, Jr.—Sports Editor. By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. It does not seem possible that the winner of a match of tennis can still be the winner and not win more games than the loser, but that often happens. It all runs on a peculiar basis. This sentence fro ma tennis article will explain our point: "Curiously enough, the losers won more games than the winners of this match, as the scoring was, 6-4 0-6, 6-4." The winners won two sets by two game advantage, lost one love set, and yet did not have more total games. The losers had fourteen games and the winners had twelve—yet the winners of the most games turned out losers! I drove a ball into the air, It fell, my opponent knew no where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow the flight. (Apologies to Longfellow.) Sport vocabularies are as universal as any existing form of speech used. While it is commonly recognized that English-speaking peoples and their speech and morals are exercising a potent influence for the ultimate good of other peoples on this terrestrial ball, the tremendously important part played in this direction by the English sporting vocabulary and the ethics of which it is the expression is not perhaps as generally appreciated. The moral laws of soccer, a more international game than most of our sports, for instance, as embodied in fairness, acceptance of defeat without rancor, the observance of technical rules, which in the last analysis are questions of moral attitude, are being adopted along with the game, it was shown in the course of Olympic contests. Any attempt by an opposing team, for example, to obtain rough reprisals against their opponents who had defeated them will meet with strong condemnation from their friends. The offending team will find itself, indeed, as strongly censored by non-English speaking critics as by those of the English speaking nations. Examples aplenty were furnished in the recent Olympic games of races remote from the English stock, modeling their thought and speech in conformity with the ideal which has been set up as a standard by English-speaking athletes during many years in the athletic field. The great and small nations during the various international athletic contests borrow, and permanently incorporate into their own language, the sections of the English dictionary necessary to the expression of the technique of the sport engaged in. This point, however, is little more than a matter of interest. Of far more importance is the fact that there is ample reason to believe that the code of morals generally implied by the term "sporting spirit" is gaining more and more foothold among athletes of all races, and therefore by members of all races, as they are adopting the rules of the games. The first signs of awakening competitive spirit will show itself during the next week, as the club tournament of the Tidewater Tennis Club gets under way. After that the city tournament. Someone recently asked the question: "Why are athletics so much more popular than any other type of activity in school life?" Here is a high sounding answer that we believe explains it since it is as clear as muddy water. The causes for the intensity of undergraduate interest in extracurricular pursuits, especially athletics are many and blended; in sports, the admiration, almost reverence, which adolescence cherishes for physical skill and prowess, the love of sport natural to boy and man, and the equally natural pleasure in pitting one's strength against that of a worthy foal. True! Death Claims Pugilistic Color Line Manager New York City, N. Y. July 17—(A. N. P.)—Jim Wakely, the white man who has the distinction of being the first to draw the "color line" in pugilism, is dead. He died Friday night in St. Vincent's Hospital of heart disease, broke and practically friendless after being at one time the possessor of a fortune and thousands of friends. A generation ago, Wakely, who ran the well-known cafe in sporting circles at Sixth avenue and Forty-Second street, was one of the outstanding figures in the sporting world. As manager and backer of John L. Sullivan he gained fame not only as the man who made the famous John L., but as the man who first went on record as refusing to permit his fighter to fight a colored man, the famous and immortal Peter Jackson. Wakely was 75 year old. CAPRON GIANTS WIN FROM COURTLAND CAPRON GIANTS WIN FROM COURTLAND Capron, Va., July 12—The Capron Giants defeated Courtland today on their diamond by the score of 6 markers to 4. The game was well played throughout, but in the fifth inning the Giants knocked their pitcher out. The feature of the game was the good pitching of Darden and the hard hitting of the Giants. Four base swats by Smith and Woodruff in the fifth were the deciding issues as far as the winner was concerned. Capron and Courtland both counted one run in the first. Courtland took the lead in the fourth, but in the fifth Capron tallied with the two homers and was not headed after that. She pushed two markers across in the sixth, and one in the seventh. Courtland got one in the sixth and seventh. Teams desiring games can apply to Robert Turner, L. B. 52, Capron, Va. BATTLING SIKI TO FIGHT IN ALBANY Albany, N. Y., July 17—(A. N.

Siki has been training at Grupp's Gymnasium in New York City for this fight and is said to really be in shape. He met White once before in Rochester and although Siki got the decision then he was nearly down and out from the hard licks which the white Alabamian got home. This time Siki is out for revenge and is looked for to knock his man out. Hilldales Whip The Baccarachs (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Suffolk, Va., July 12—The Suffolk Hilldales Juniors and the Suffolk Baccarach Juniors locked horns at the East End Park here with the Hilldales getting the better of the horn wrangling contest which was executed with balls, bats, and gloves; not to mention the brainy pitching and teamwork of both nines. The final score was seven runs to the Hilldales' credit and five to the credit of the Baccarachs, therefore, by all means and manners, making the Hilldale Juniors the winner of the contest. The game was a pitching battle from the cry "playball" until the last out. Both Malone and G. Pugh pitched winning ball. These youngsters are fighting to keep the old name "Sunbeams" going. The lineup of the Hildale Juniors is as follows: J. Green, 3b; W. Mass, ss; L. Classon, 2b; B. Jones, 1b; A. Classon, 1f; Williams, cf; R. Jones, rf; E. Wilson, c; G. Malone, p.

GEE, THERE'S A SCRAP OVER THERE! GUESS, ILL GO OVER AND SEE WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. NATIONAL TENNIS TOURNEY IN AUGUST NATIONAL TENNIS TOURNEY IN AUGUST Baltimore, Md., July 17—The eighth annual national championship of the American Tennis Association will take place in this city on and during the 18 to the 23 of August. Plans are being made to handle the largest entry list ever entered. The social side will be taken up in receptions and dances. The American Tennis Association was organized on November 30th, 1916, in Washington, D. C. Formed for the purpose of fostering and developing the game of tennis among the colored people of the United States, steps were taken to encourage clubs and local associations to promote the building of courts and to develop interest amongst the boys and girls in this splendid game. The first National Championship Tournament was held in Baltimore in August 1917. Although the Association was in its infancy and not widely known, yet a creditable entry list was received. Twelve individual clubs were represented as well as the New York Tennis Association with eleven clubs as members. Two championships were decided—Men's Singles with thirty-nine entries and Men's Doubles with thirteen entries. The Association grew by leaps and bounds, and very soon its influence spread over the entire country as far West as California. Clubs from the North, South, Middle West and West, as well as the East, applied for membership, until in 1923 a total of twenty-eight clubs and five Associations—The New York Tennis Association of eighteen clubs, The Philadelphia Tennis League, with four clubs, The Western Federation, with six clubs and the New Jersey Tennis Association with thirteen clubs—joined; making a total of seventy-one clubs holding membership. The National Championships were increased from those previously mentioned to include the following: Men's Singles, Ladies' Singles, Men's Doubles, Ladies' Doubles, Mixed Doubles and Junior Singles. The succeeding annual tournaments were held as follows: 1918, New York City; 1919, New York City; 1920, New York City; 1921, Washington; 1922, Philadelphia; 1923, Chicago. In 1924, the tournament will be played in Baltimore. The entry list has also grown; last year there were one hundred and seventeen entries in the Men's Singles; forty-seven teams in Men's Doubles; thirty-six in Ladies' Championship Singles; thirty-two teams in Mixed Doubles; fourteen teams in Ladies Doubles; nine in Junior Singles; making an appreciable gain over that of the first attempt. The Association had the disi tion of having as it guest E. A. Dwight Davis, donor of the fami- Davis Cup, and former President of The United States Lawn Tennis Association. Mr. Davis kindly consented to act as umpire at one of the semi-final matches. The Association is indeed grateful to this distinguished fellow-member for the interest he showed in its effort to promote tennis among the members of our race. The Association also had the pleasure of having as its guest in New York, the former Field Secretary of the United States Lawn Tennis Association Mr. Paul B. Williams, who also witnessed a semi-final, and was loud in his praise of the excellent playing of the contestants. The winners of the Men's and Ladies Singles in the several tournaments are as follows. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE M---He Gets a Love THEM GUYS ARE GOIN' TO TIE UP IN A MINUTE! GUES I'LL HURRY.

The tournament this year will be held in Baltimore, the birth place of the American Tennis Association, and preparations have been completed to give to the Association the most complete physical setting that it has ever had. This equipment includes five rock-ballasted courts with full back courts and steel wire backstops; a structural steel grand stand seating five hundred and additional shower baths on the grounds; and a complete cafeteria to be open at all hours. The Association also conducts sectional and State Tournaments to keep alive the spirit of friendly rivalry and competition which has now reached every corner of the land. This is very gratifying to the officers and committees, who are doing their utmost to bring the grade of tennis played up to the highest possible level. The Rating Committee composed of R. V. Cooke, chairman, Baltimore; Miss L. Junior, Philadelphia; N. G. Bain, New York; D. L.

He was stopped by Dustie Cooper in the second game of a double header between the Harrisburg Giants and the Balmacks. In his first two games, Eliud made eight consecutive hits in as many trips to the bat, and this is believed to have been a record. One of the snacks was for a home run over the right field fence. Milton Lewis also established a precedent when he faced the first ball ever socked over the left field fence for a homer in the second game of the series. $11 Value Our Price $8.75 e pace for the leaders flat last and spring wheels.

GREEN SAYS WILLS SHOULD RELY ON SCIENCE TO DEFEAT FIRPO When Harry Wills establishes was when he faced Dempsey a year his training camp at Southampton, large When Harry Wills establishes his training camp at Southampton, L, I, to begin the long grind of preparing for his tussle with the Wild Bull of the Pampas, he will concentrate on speed and skill. He will surround himself with sparring partners whose styles are calculated to increase his speed and his accuracy at long range shooting, more particularly with the left hand. Wills himself would probably prefer to step in and mix it up with Firpo, matching his own body blows against those of the South American. Those who are close to Harry declare the he feels confident that he could whip Firpo at this game. The board of strategy does not think so, however and unless Harry deliberately disregards the advice of his best friends, he will do his best to make Luis miserable from a safe distance, biding his time to put over the big wallop designed to lay the Tarzan of the Argentine in the resin dust. Harry Wills is and always has been a body puncher, doing his deadliest work at close range. Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, called a meeting of his cabinet a few days ago over in Long Island City and the policy to be followed by Wills in his coming riot with Luis Firpo was discussed pro and con and at considerable length. It was decided that Wills is not to do any indiscriminate body punching with the bulky South American. This looks like very good dope for Wills to follow closely, because swapping body smashes with Luis Angel Firpo is not good business for any-body to engage ir. Jack Dempsey got away with it, but it resulted in his being bounced out of the ring and very nearly cost him his title. It was generally agreed that this was about as risky a method of subduing the Argentine caveman as Jack Dempsey could have adopted. It was playing right into Firpo's hands, because the challenger's one chance lay in a rough and tumble brawl such as Jack Dempsey made of it. It would seem, therefore, that the colored boxer's only chance to conquer the Buenos Aires cave man is to make it a long-range battle. It is certain that Wills will come into the ring in far better shape physically than Firpo. The longer the fight goes the better his chances would be. Ten rounds at high speed would be no soft assignment for the South American, even though he were in as good condition as he was for Dempsey. One of the leading students of fisticuffs said the other day that unless Firpo is in as good condition for Wills as he was for Dempsey he will find himself in a very tough spot when they get together. WILL WIN IF IN SHAPE "If Firpo gets in the same sort of shape he was in when he left his training camp at Atlantic City last summer he will win, because he will be able to keep after Wills relentlessly and sooner or later he will connect with one of those back-breaking right swings," said this expert. Firpo has undoubtedly gone back, and it seems very doubtful whether he will ever be the man he AUCTION SALE SALE BILLS Now is the time you need them to clear out your old stock of goods and make more room for new.

TIGER FLOWERS BEATS ANDERSON ON FOUL TIGER FLOWERS BEATS ANDERSON ON FOUL Atlanta, Ga., July 17—(P. N. S.)—A slashing, ripping, tearing fury called "Tiger" Flowers of Georgia, last Thursday night at the auditorium turned the face of Lee Anderson, New York, claimant of the world's light-weight championship, into a misshaped, gory man and then was robbed of a fair-fight decision by repeated fouls by Anderson. The fight became two battles, when in the sixth round, Bill Kaliska, referee, raised the Tiger's right hand to signify his victory on a foul, and the Tiger refused to take it. That officially ended the fight, boxing commission members declared afterwards, but it was not until the eleventh round, that Flowers, badly hurt by Anderson's repeatedly foul blows, accepted a shadowy victory. Anderson will carry back to New York with him a story of losing on fouls that will sound much better than a yarn of being blinded in one eye, then in both and finally beaten to a pulp by Flowers, but the crowd that saw the slaughter, by its hisses and jeers, bestowed on Anderson the well-earned title of champion fouler of the world. KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- Well, I've been notising where these here tennis fellows of the Tiedwater tennis club have been making arrangements for a club twonament of sum kind. They is going to play the matches between their selves. Now, I calls that stingy SHERLOCK HOLMES with they old stuff. You sea I'm not a member of the club so by having a twonament that nobody cant not play in but them whats in the club, eliminates me. Of course I dont not sea why they hafta go and try to keep me frum playing tennis. What I think they ought to have is, a free for all go-sumthing like a free for all fight, in which I always holds my own. As I was saying, they ought have a free for all match, so everybody whats to can get in the running. Course I no that the players wont have a chance when I'm playing, cause I'm good and knows it. That's why they try to bar me out of everything that they have round this burgh. I've often said I have retired an aint going in competitive sports no more, but some smart aleks round here sez I aint nuthing but a fake, so I wants to show them wherein whats whats an so fourth and so on, etc. It will be my paneful duty have to paste some of these babies here in the mug. I over heard a conversation on the streets the other day among too gents and it went like this: "Say Sam, aint you going to pay me that ten you owe me?" "I aint saying I aint, Moses." "But is you Sam?" "I told you, I aint saying I aint." "Sam, I aint saying you aint, but what I wants to know, is you aint." Well, I aint got much to say this week due to the shortage of paper. When we gets more paper, I will go on an rite a nice long one. ONCE FAMED JOCKEY GETS JAIL SENTENCE Chicago, Ill., July 17—"Willie Sims! Willie Sims!" the court crier called in the Wabash avenue court Monday morning. Through the overflow of prisoners a little man made his way up before the bar of justice. His clothing was NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE in tatters, his face unshaven, and shoes with the undersole thickness of the leather missing. Willie Sims was charged with taking a bundle of laundry from a delivery wagon. The police caught him in a State street hallway with the bundle in his hands. Nowadays the name of Willie Sims means nothing; twenty odd years ago it was one to conjure with. SAITCH PICK WIN TENNIS Edgar G. Brown, v Pittsburgh Courier and situation, says the f. E. Saitch, the b. York star and favor son, has learned his one can be a patio. The little man who appeared before Judge Joseph Burke, Monday morning, was none other than Willie Sims, former jockey and one of the greatest riders of all times. "Give me a chance, judge! Give me a chance! A man promised to give me a job at a racing stables this very day," was Sims' plea to the judge. "The racing stables," which were a reality then, are memories now and the click of the horses' hoofs, the yell and thunderous roar of the spectators beat faintly in this man's breast as the newspapers tell of the entries at Hawthrone. It is at Hawthrone that he was promised a job as stable boy. And the years like a giant wheel, sometimes spins us into the sunshine; sometimes drags us into the mire, has made a downward stroke on this man, without any hope of let-up. GREAT RIDER Sims was the greatest jockey of his time. In the heyday of his career, bronze riders ruled the turf and he was king. He rode horses when there were riders. His competitors were among the great little men such as Perkins, Winkfield, Clayton and Murphy. Ben Brush won the derby in the year 1896 with Willie Sims up. That was a memorable race when but 50 yards from the wire Sims threw his arms around his mount's neck and the horse stuck his muzzled hood in front. Again in the year 1898, he brought Pauldits through with flying colors, winning from the greatest field ever entered at Churchill Downs. But Sims along with the other greater colored riders who help forth some years ago, passed out of the picture with the temporary death of racing in New York 15 years ago. Sims gained his greatest fame while in the employ of the Dwyer Brothers' stables. Twice he rode to triumph in the Kentucky derby and in the Latonia confined his his efforts to eastern tracks. In 1893 and again in 1894 he was the king-pin jockey of America. The eastern racing scandal of New York wrecked the black barons of the turf. When racing was reorganized they were not included in the list of riders. One by one they passed out of the picture and none has come since to replace them. GRANTED MERCY But all the glory and pomp and pride and even selfrespect has left Sims now. They say he is on the "dope." When he appeared before Judge Burke Monday morning a newspaper woman knew him.

Brown, writing in the Pittsburgh Courier anent the tennis situation, says the following: E. Saitch, the brilliant New York star and favorite of last season, has learned his lesson. "No one can be a national champion without an acensive backhand," is one of the unwritten secrets which has been my belief from the day eleven years ago, when I first was loaned a copy of the late Anthony Wilding's book on tournament tennis, written about the time that he and the veteran Norman E Brooks towered above all others in this great international game. Anthony Wilding, as great as the game has known, gave his life in the Great War, a true hero. His friend and partner, now 45 years of age, upholds still the traditions of greatness and the prowess of his noble father before him by defeating the hard-hitting American and 1923 runner-up at Wimbledon in a match that went five sets, requiring best of physical stamina and reserve energy. No reason one should ever have to stop playing good tennis, the kind requires much "skuffling" and wasted effort, does not come under the head of the modern American driving game—forehand and backhand. In a practice match recently, I had the pleasure of bowing before the inevitable, when I drove hard to Mr. Saitch's backhand; he coolly returned with a fast and well-directed drive which completely caught me off my guard. I was surprised that this sophisticated youngster had taken oft-repeated advice and had actually acquired a formidable backhand drive by serious application. The new offensive of the New Yorker will be a formidable obstacle in the pathway of my friend Ted Thompson, who must always be looked upon as a most dangerous contestant for No. 1 place. My first partner back in St. Louis, Richard Hudkin, now Western champion, was going good early in the season and his drive has greatly improved by special attention during the winter Perhaps she knew him "when"—as they say. Surely, all know of his reputation as mogu] of the pigskin. Sims was fined $1 and no costs and sentenced to five days in the house of correction. "I'm Not Drunk, I'm Hungry."

I understand neither Talley Holmes nor Sylvester Holmes are playing this year; it would not effect the results much if they were, as the driving game is too far above the chop strokes. Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago, has quietly stepped aside to watch from the sidelines, where it is easier to tell what ought to be done, however, I shall be near him maybe next year, we will be at it again. E. Saitch and his newly acquired backhand are going to be hard for anyone to heat this year.

Foreman, the new catcher, while not a large man, is sturdy and well built. He has a wonderful throwing arm, is a heady receiver and a timely hitter. It is believed he will fit in with the Gray system with little or no trouble.

That was decided at the regular meeting of the Tidewater Tennis Club, which was held at the Community Center on Thursday night. The tournament will be held among the players, to help eliminate their weak points, as a chance to pick doubles partners, and last but not least, as a workout under real conditions for the Tidewater Tennis Tournament, which will be held either the last of August or the first of September, by the Journal and Guide on the courts of the Tidewater Tennis Club. Beautiful trophies will be awarded by the Journal and Guide at that time to the winners of the various matches. Any player or club can enter the Tidewater Tennis Tournament, but the tournament which will be held next week is open to members of the club only. The officials of the club will notify each member as to his opponent and time of playing before the matches come off, in fact it is hoped that each member will know before Monday evening. A fine spirit was shown at the meeting and enthusiasm was evident among the members as they looked forward to the two coming tournaments.

Dr. Morris' activities in civic life and community uplift too has been such as to make his going from the city felt with sin- cere regrets. The department of which he is the head, is the one and only general department of the A. M. E. Church with head- quarters in Virginia and Dr. Morris, the only Virginian a member of the general board. FOR PURPOSE OF ECONOMY The transfer is in keeping with the policy of the church for economy and efficiency in operation of the general departments. At Nashville the Sunday School Publishing Board has headquarters and a modern office building. Here the Allen League and Dr. Morris' offices will be housed. The change will bring closer together the two young people's departments of the church, the Sunday school and the Allen League, and is expected to make for efficiency and economy of operation. RESIDED HERE EIGHT YEARS Rev. Morris has had continuous residence in this city for eight years. For four years previous to his election to his present position he was pastor of St. John Church. At the General Conference held in Louisville, Ky., May last, he was re-elected by a celeration for another term of four years as General Secretary of the A. C. 'E. League. He is a native Virginian, being a product of Portsmouth. Dr. Morris plans to maintain his legal residence in this city, and promises to return to the state at the close of his tenure in office. He stated this week that he anticipates a wonderful growth in the young people's work of the church in the next four years thru closer association with the Sunday school forces of the denomination.

P.); The Community Service Recreation Training School for Colored Workers had its opening session this week at the South Side Community Center, 3201 S. Wabash avenue. Students from 19 states reported at the first session for the so-called short course in leisure time activities. Ernest T. Atwell, field director in Community Service, maintained by the Playground and Recreation Association of America, in his opening statement to the school said: "The impulse to play is universal; the craving for self-expression a human need. Without the satisfaction of this need the life of the individual cannot be well balanced Health, Education, Work, Religion, all the great forces making for well-balanced living—are constant daily factors. Recreation as one of these great forces cannot be on any other than a year-round basis." The course of instruction includes not only problems of playground and community:center administration, but also other phases of leisure time programs. Miss Ada Grogman, widely-known authority in direction of pageants, a graduate of Emerson College of Oratory, conducts daily lessons tending to show the value of community drama. Professor Peter Dykema, of the University of Wisconsin, conducts classes in which the importance of place of music in a well-balanced recreational scheme is stressed. Dr. Jas. Edward Rogers, of the University of California; Hon. Roy Smith Wallace, of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, and other prominent lecturers of national reputation, are scheduled to lecture and teach during the course, which will have its final session on July 26. MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE PLANS BIG CAMPAIGN Atlanta, Ga., July 17.—(P. N. S.): A campaign to raise an endowment of $75,000 was authorized by the trustees of Morris Brown College in session here last Monday, it has been announced. The fund is needed to pay off the indebtedness brought about by the departure from Georgia of more than 50,000 members of the A. M. E. Church, which finances the college, it was stated. Every alumnus and undergraduate is asked to contribute $40 to the fund. The campaign committee includes Revs. John Harmon, L. W. Townsley, C. A. Wingfield, and Dr. J. W. Linder, Professor C. L. Harper is president of the Alumni and Dr. John H. Lewis is president of Morris Brown College Woman Keeps Nerve When Automobile Breaks Guard Rail Washington, D. C., July 17.—(P. N. S.) An automobile containing a woman and her 12-year old son, skidded on a Calvert St. bridge last Wednesday night, tore down 30 feet or iron railing on the brink of 150-foot drop into Rock Creek. Mrs. Bertha May Smith, 58 L street, N. W., driver of the car displayed not the slightest sign of fright and attempted to back the machine from the perilous position. Pedestrains came to her assistance and lifted her and her son to safety. Police removed the car. The accident attracted many persons, but traffic was not held up. Warning lights were placed near the broken railings. Mrs. Smith told the reporter that she did not get nervous until after she and her son had been carried to safety. She said, however, that she would still drive her machine and that there was no use becoming afraid to drive because of an accident of that nature had occurred. 742 DIGESTINE Uues for Dyspepsia, Sluggish and Torpid Liver and various forms of Stomach and Bowel Troubles and their effects such as Indigestion, Heartburn, Fermentation, Sick Hendache, Constipation Bilirubinate, Sour Stomach, Palpitation, Internal Nervousness, Sick Stomach, Colic and especially useful after excessive use of Alcoholic Stimulant or Heavy Eating.

S.): After hearing arguments Wednesday on the return before him of an order to show the cause why the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Moose, a Negro organization, should not be enjoined from using the name "Moose", and from simulating the emblem of the Supreme Lodge of the World Loyal Order of Moose, Vice Chancellor Foster granted the temporary restraint asked for by the ter organization. The restraining order entered is to become effective September 1, and it contains a proviso that application to either vacate or modify the restraint imposed may be made on five days' notice. NEGRO FARMERS AIDED BY U. S. GOVERNMENT Washington, D. C., July 17—(P. N. S.) Twenty-five years' experience in bedding sweetpotatoes for early slips had not made a certain colored farmer in Alabama successful in his attempts. When the local agricultural agents called the colored farmers together in that man's community to discuss plans for the ensuing year's farm extension work, the farmer spoke of his difficulty. Others present had also had poor results from their methods. The local agent explained the method recommended by the agricultural college. Although somewhat doubtful of success, after watching the neighbor and the agent bed six bushels of sweet potatoes, eight farmers went home and tried the new method. Five of the eight, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, were able to set out their plants by April 10, and sold more than 200 bushels of sweet potatoes on the early market before their neighbors' crops were ready. Will Holly Not Wanted In Florida DeLand, Fla., July 17.—(P. N. S.): Sheriff Morris, last Wednesday, received a telegram from Wilmington, Del., to the effect that William Holly was being held in the Delaware city on suspicion or complicity in connection with the killing eight years ago Sheriff King, and was believed by the Delaware authorities to be wanted in Florida. Sheriff Morris notified the Delaware authorities that Holly is not wanted here. 15-Year Old Boy Held For Postoffice Des Arc, Ark., July 18.—(P. N.

New York, July 16.—Davis and Bryan. "The die is cast." The great White House handicap of 1924 is now on, after 103 stars by "Jackuss," the great favorite of Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Texas and a few other 100 to 1 shots. Silent Cal, of Massachusetts, state of blessed memory, got away with a good start on the Western Reserve track and then came along on Independence Day, the mighty Bitinge, or Fighting, or Kiteing Bob LaFollette, of Wisconsin by the inland set, aided and abetted by the Ancient and Honorable Society of Socialists, E. V. Debs, high commander-in-chief. Folks, take it from one who gets a thrill and a kick out of and "nip and tuck" proposition, it's going to be a sure enough "hoss" race—and that ain't maybe. Colored America stands out as the nation's greatest political asset for 1924. White America recognizes this fact, if we don't. We can take it or let it alone. In the weeks to come we can rise to the dignity and value of a genuine asset, or we can drift along like a corked bottle in mid ocean, taking its chances with the whims of the lashing, or dashing, waves, and p'haps, some day it may drift into port, or be picked up by some salt cured fisherman, to whom the contents, a "Love note to the girl I left behind me," means nothing. This is written in New York City, hard by Madison Square Garden, on the day that the Democratic Dissension nominated John W. Davis to the office of President of the United States. The day is warm no, hot and stuffy, one of those notorious humid days of the metropolis, where all clothing sticks closer than Dick's hat band. The convention, "long since and lost awhile," has become a drag on nerve, hospitality and pocket-books. In the Garden, oh yes, in the Garden, let's talk about that for a bit of background. You have had descriptions, and have seen pictures, and have heard the radio story of the sessions, but maybe you haven't had a slant on some of the hospitalities and courtesies. You remember hearing of the old "feller" back there in the old home town who was always popular with the ladies, much to the wonderment and dismay of the young lolly pops. So one day the old man let them into the secret thus: "It ain't my good looks, nor my good clothes, but its my dadburn winni'n ways." In all cold fact, John W. Davis has two better on the old "feller". Davis has good looks, wears good clothes, and has winning ways, and moreover has plenty of dignity and plenty of brains, plenty of them—ask J. P. Morgan, he knows. Not the least to be considered is the fact that Davis has keen political sense. Ask West Virginia, she knows. played with rolling pins and has ball bats. There has been knocking down and dragging out, but we, poor mortals of the subterranean, have always been the fag guy. We have been knifed in the back as well as batted in the ey. We have been down, to the cour of nine, we are new on our knees not alone in prayer, but with rig and determination. You have seen this sign: "If you want to know who's boss here, Just ask and you find out." Well, Colored Americ 1924, wants to know who's boss in the political arena, and expects to find out. Who said so? "Why? Prove it." "Wherefore." Never theless, "Im from Missouri. Show me," and that don't mess Maybe. FLORSHEIM SHOE STORE 210 Granby Monticello Bldg. On this day the convention has just passed unanimously a resolution of commendation for the success of America in the Olympic Games, and DeHart Hubbard, Colored American from Michigan was the source of inspiration These Democrats are acting curious this 1924. Let's not, now, go further into the history of the "Thirty Years War," during which time the Democrats were trying to get a candidate for President. Let's start right here with John W. Davis, candidate for President. The man who copped the prize—if that's what one wishes to call it with the Wall street betting 2 to 1 for Coolidge to win. They say, by the way, that of all the public men in America today, his public utterances on the Negro are the finest and squarest. That may cut some figure. However, Gov. Al Smith, the most popular governor in the U. S. A., stood right up in meeting and declared with great vigor that he proposes to take off his coat and vest and work like sixty for Davis. Davis comes along on the day of his nomination and says a lot of fine things about "equal rights for all and special privileges to none," and he says he is going to look after the interest of the "humblest citizen," and that he is going to make a "fight to win." Well, he can't win without New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, and the big states of the middle West. That's where Colored America comes in as a great asset to 1924 political strategy. SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1922 Color Hold All Elections And so, my good people, there will be a keen contest from now on, and it won't be a summer picnic. Davis is called a man of the "Big Interests," and so he probably is. The strategy of the whole inside proposition is this: The so-called big interests of the country have played this year to win if they lose. Coolidge is two to one with Davis. But the big business of the country is not taking a chance with LaFollettism and Socialists. With Communism in the near background. The state of mind of the people in this country is such that the Third Contingency argument is calculated to have an appeal. They propose to make a hot campaign in a noisy way. The next President must be a Republican or a Democrat, and he must be a man to be trusted. Now, Colored America has fled along, politically speaking for more than a quarter of a century. That's a fact. We have been joined into laughing satisfaction with political crumbs when we could just as easily have some good slips of the ol' daaf of political power. Our leaders make flights, by more of them are traced to personal rather than racial advantage. With tens of thousands of new votes in the North. If Colored America does not drive a worth while political bargain this year then all of us should quit voting or be made to quit by main force as has been done in some parts of the South. Much of the political power and prestige that has vanished has been due to lack of political sagacity rather than political knowledge. The game has been played with rolling pins and baseball bats. There has been knocking down and dangling out, but we, poor mortals of the submerged tenth, have always been the fall guy. We have been knitted in the back as well as batted in the eye. We have been down, to the count of nine, we are now on our own. PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 Heads of Bap't Conventions Debate Issues Between The Two Bodies At Lynchburg Heads of Bap't Conventions Debate Issues Between The Two Bodies At Lynchburg God in their hearts. I repeat, when you incorporate a Convention or Association, and when the individual churches join that corporation by membership they put in jeopardy and deliver to this incorporated body their entire holdings as a church, property and all, at the same time you form a national church. Until there is common ground upon which all Baptists can come, you will never have one united Convention made up of men who think. The leaders must agree upon a program which will appeal to the hearts of the people. Our Convention, the National Baptist Convention of America, is not incorporated; it stands for Baptist policies, self-development, denominational advancement and the building up of our own Institutions." For one hour, tall and commanding as he is, he captured the Virginian Baptists, and many went home fully convinced that they did not care to join an incorporated National Baptist Convention, running the risk of losing the church property that they had struggled so hard to purchase. This debate between the two gladiators was one of the features of the Baptist Jubilee that will long be remembered. HOW THE FINANCIAL CORPORATION WORKS Durham, N. C., July 16.—A great many inquiries have been received from persons who have read the announcement of the organization of the National Negro Finance Corporation and who desire to know how the capital of the corporation will be available for Negro business enterprises. In the address which Dr. Moton delivered before the National Negro Business League at its meeting in Philadelphia, he said: "It appears that the best interests of the corporation might be served by having the local business league indorse every individual who wishes to secure capital from the Finance Corporation. The Local League can thoroughly investigate the proposed business, its location, its normal prospects, its available resources, and everything pertaining to its ultimate success and by standing sponsor for the parties recommended for loans, the Local League members would become mutually interested in the success of the enterprise, and would, therefore, give it their whole-hearted support. Such loans, however would have to be approved by the committee appointed by the directors of the Finance Corporation to pass on such matters." Cape Charles, Va.—Mr. John Moses, a progressive race farmer of this section has dug Irish potatoes from his land this season weighing as high as two and one-half pounds each, in spite of the heavy rains during the growing season. He expects to market about 3,000 barrells of "spuds" this year. President of the National Baptist Convention Gives Virginia Baptists Facts And Figures about Incorporation Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) (Lynchburg, Va.—Baptists from every section of the Old Dominion State, with hundreds of visitors and dignitaries from the east heard Edmund Wood, President of the National Baptist Convention, almost annihilate L. K. Williams in debate here at the Baptist Jubilee. It was not an oratorical contest there was no attempt at eloquence; it was a plain commonense, every-day delivery in which facts and figures were handed out by Dr. Wood, proving conclusively that the National Baptist Convention itself has never been chartered that the Convention over which presides, to which position he was selected last September in Ft. Worth, Texas, is the original National Baptist Convention. Dr. Wood took the position that when a body is incorporated it becomes itself alive from the date of incorporation. He swept the Virginia Baptists off their feet and carried away the laurels and the haudits of the visitors at this Jurieee. Discussion Not Planned The debate was not pre-arranged, it came like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. Fate had decreed that these two presidents should meet. It so happened that both were invited by the Virginia Baptists to come to Lynchburg, Dr. L. K. Williams was the first speaker. In opening his address, and throughout his talk, he discussed the National Baptist Convention and attempted to show why the body was incorporated. He was invited to make this talk. The virginians thought he came to bring greetings, but his entire address was a tirade, a defense and challenge. It so happened that Dr. Wood was in the audience, and when he was introduced he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I did not know I was to meet Dr. Williams in this platform for a debate, I did not know that he was going to attack our Convention; I had the least idea that one would forget themselves as to being a controversy into a state that had professed neutrality; but since this has been done, in self-esteem I must reply. I regret that must put aside the prepared address, the felicitations that I have brought from the two million five hundred thousand constituents of our Convention to make a reply, but it has been forced upon me, there is no other alternative. If the incorporated brethren are there about re-union, why do they attempt to build up and foster and opposition Publishing House? Why do they tell us to come back home, when it was set by the lawsuit in the supreme court and shown conclusively by the date of their own charter that they are the new body and that we are the original Convention, as we open our career and existence from the amalgamation of the three Baptist Families back in 1915, and they began their existence from the date of the charter granted to them in the District of Columbia in 1914." At this remark and at this predication the Virginia Baptist saw light thrown on the situation that had been buddy and unknown to hundreds. Dr. Wood continuing said, "If they want union, why do they ask trustees of the National Train-School at Washington to surmount the charter of the School to Incorporated Convention? If they want union, why did they send five or six years and thousands of dollars in litigation try to destroy a Publishing House that had been built up, that is managed, that is controlled, that is owned by Negro Baptists, worth more than a half million dollars. Dr. Williams and his people like union, I say, why have they come into every State Convention with paid missionaries breeding life and dissension in states like Virginia where the Baptists were shippin' under their own vine fig tree, as it were. Let all artists study the history of the convention, if you please, and since they are the sovereign within themselves, let them select the convention of their choice, not thrue judicial and false statements rather having carefully looked at the facts, with only the love of Dr. Moton's Philadelphia Speech Points Out Suggested Method of Operation.

P.): After having assured the people that he would exercise his influence in urging the appointment of Dr. John P. Turner, the eminent physician of this city on the staff of the Philadelphia General Hospital, Charles Hall, president of the City Council, was rebuffed when Dr. Paul Krasen, director of public health, flatly refused to appoint a Negro doctor. Although he found no fault with Dr. Turner's ability or character, the health director bowed to the prejudices of southern doctors who he said would resign from the hospital if he appointed Dr. Turner. He further said that he wouldn't appoint a Negro because he would be over the white nurses. Dr. Turner's record, past and present is a credit to the race. His knowledge in the medical field is recognized by the leading white doctors of this city who constantly seek his advice on serious cases. And as yet Mr. Hall's influence has failed to work. Shocking Machine Cause of Trouble Pittsburg, Pa., July 18—(P. N. S.)—When Arthur Ross, of Mulberry way, treated himself to a shock on a shocking machine in a Peen avenue saloon, he got a bigger shock than he expected. Recoiling under the electric charge, he stepped on the toe of Thomas Nokes, of 13rd street. Nokes did not like the use being made of his foot by Ross and accordingly it is said, landed an upper-cut to Ross' jaw so hard that Ross was compelled to spend three weeks in the hospital. After pleading guilty to aggravated assault and battery, and two charges of robbery, Nokes, in Criminal court Friday, was sentenced to from 10 to 20 years in the Western penitentiary.

J., July 17.—(A. N. P.): Walter Harris, used a unique method of robbing when he accosted Mrs. Anna Collins, in the hallway of her home, threw acid on her and escaped with her pocket book containing three cents. The woman stated in Judge Cleary's court where she was summoned to appear before Harris, that when she was about to enter her vestibule, Harris called her. She stopped and asked what he wanted. Without a word he made a lung for her pocketbook and missed it. Then he drew a small bottle from his pocket and threw the contents at her. And it was while protecting her face with her arms that Harris snatched her pocketbook. The woman displayed her acid burned arms in court. He was held under $2,000 bail. ENDOWMENT OF A MILLION FOR FISK UNIVERSITY Nashville, Tenn., July 17—Completion of the first million-dollar endowment fund ever to be established at a college for Negroes was announced today by Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, President of Fisk University, which began its career in an army barracks in Nashville procured by General Clinton B. Fisk in January, 1866. This fund has been made possible by matching a conditional offer of $500,000 from the General Education Board of New York. Among those contributing are the Carnegie Corporation of New York, which gave $250,000, the John F. Slater Fund of Charlottesville, Va., the J. C. Penney Foundation of New York and prominent individuals in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland and Boston. Anticipating the successful completion of the $1,000,000 endowment fund, the citizens of Nashville organized this spring to raise a supplementary fund of $50,000 for Fisk. This is the first time that any such sum has been contributed by any Southern city for any type of Negro education. Among the leaders in this local campaign are bankers, business men, educators and clergymen. The endowment fund, the income of which is to be applied exclusively to teachers' salaries, is conspicuous recognition of the leadership which Fisk has achieved in meeting the growing need for higher education for the 11,000,000 Negroes of the country, according to Paul D. Cravath, the internationally known lawyer of New York, who is chairman of the Board of Trustees and whose father was a founder of Fisk and served as its president for twenty-five years. Wm. H. Balden is in charge of raising the funds. Sentence Blind Musician For Assault Columbia, S. C., July 17.—(A. N. P.): Simmie Dooley, blind musician, has been sentenced to serve two months in the State penitentiary having been found guilty of a charge of assault and battery. Dooley's chief instrument is a guitar which he plays so well that while being brought to jail he earned nearly ten dollars from people along the way. BIG HOTEL PLAN FOR ATLANTIC CITY TOPPLES Fitzgerald Development Corporation Passes Into Hands of Receivers; Dream of Finest Race Hotel Vanishes Atlantic City, July 17—(A. N. P.)—Plans for t fourteen story hotel, which was to be the finest of any built for use of the Negro have gone up in a bubble. Last week, some of the people who had been induced to buy stock in the Fitzgerald Hotel and Development Corporation applied to Vice Chancellor Robert H. Ingersoll for the appointment of a receiver to administer the affairs of the corporation. The receiver was appointed. About two years ago the project was launched. The originators of the scheme proposed to build here a hotel which would rank with the finest of white hotels in the city. Stock was sold to some extent but the stupendous manner in which the lace was to be built and maintained proved too much for the officers of the company.

P.): People who rent out the greater portion of their premises to lodgers are not entitled to protection of the New York State rent laws, the Appellate division ruled last week. The decision is far reaching in its possible effect on residents of Harlem, 95 per cent of whom rent rooms to lodgers, some going so far as to make a business of leasing flats solely for letting rooms to lodgers. The court ruled that such premises are really business places and not in keeping with protection provided for homes only. The decision will be appealed to the Court of Appeals.

He is a hard working artist who always remains a student and it was because he is a hard working student that he has become one of the great artists of the times. There will be no trouble in picking a President to vote for, if mere number of candidates is considered. Nine parties will have Presidential nominces in the field. They scan down from the Republican party to the Farmer-Labor party, with the LaFollette Progressives in the center. Why should there not be Nation-wide interest in the Negro Finance Corporation? It is the natural product of all of the business efforts we have been making, mostly in a small way, and of the education in business methods we have been getting, and of the confidence which has steadily grown among the people in themselves. We are at the beginning of great things in a business way. All the signs indicate that much. Haiti and Its Troubles The people of Haiti are having plenty of troubles as the outcome of the American Occupation. They are a turbulent people, and they have not always been wise in their management of their internal affairs and in creating foreign complications, mostly of a financial character. They were given to chronic revolutionary upheavals, which made for bad government and prevented the people from reaping the benefits of peaceful industry and trade. Instability of government, due to the unholy ambition of the leading men of Haiti, and a disposition to contract foreign loans, were the besetting sins of the Haitian's administration of affairs. And the Haitian statesmen have not always valued the friendship of the Afro-American people as they are now doing in their troubles. Their leaders in politics and business residing in or visiting the United States, had very little acquaintance or touch with the leaders in politics and business of the Afro-American people. They stood aloof. They imagined they were better than we. Truth to say, that is the attitude of the Haitians towards us even unto this day; not so much so as formerly, because troubles have brought the two people into closer touch, but enough so to make a good understanding out of the question. The Haitians, like many native Africans, think they are much better than the Afro-American people. Are they? It is a debatable question, out of which no good can possibly come, because there's no good in it. Dantes Bellegarde, the Haitian representative in Paris, told the International Federation League of Nations that during the nine years of American Occupation the "United States marines killed more than 3,000 peaceful Haitians, often by bombs dropped from airplanes upon villages where women and children perished." That is a very horrible condition of affairs, if true, and the American people should know the facts, which have not been brought out and published by any of the several commissions of one sort and another we have sent to Haiti from time to time. We have never been able to discover any reason why the United States should have usurped the governmental functions of Haiti in the administration of President Wilson nor any reasons why we should have continued and excused and smoothed over the conduct of the American Occupation in the administrations of President Harding and President Coolidge. The American Occupation in Haiti should be recalled. It is the right and duty of the Haitians to rule themselves. Public High School For Virginia Negroes Of the many interesting features in the July Southern Workman two highly informative articles are of a slant as to make them particularly interesting to the people of this city and State. They are: "The Public High Schools for Virginia Negroes," by President Gandy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, and "The Booker T. Washington High School," by Mr. C. W. Mason, superintendent of schools for the city of Norfolk. Dr. Gandy reviews the history of the development of secondary education at public expense for the colored people of Virginia from its inception with the organizing of the Peabody High School at Petersburg in 1872 down to the present, a period of 51 years, showing that the progress made is represented in six accredited high schools. This progress, altho admittedly slow, has kept apace with the changing of a stubbornly resisting sentiment regarding Negro education in the South. The past 14 years have witnessed a greater development in secondary education for the colored population of Virginia than all the years preceding. During this time the Booker T. Washington at Norfolk; the I. C. Norcom at Portsmouth and the Huntington high school at Newport News were established. Virginia has nearly four hundred high schools for its white children against six for colored students, but it is significant to note, as Dr. Gandy points out, the number for whites was increased from 50 to 360 in the five year period between 1905 and 1910. This shows that the State only recently has made marked headway in the matter of secondary education for all of its youth. Dr. Gandy's article presents highly interesting information for students of Negro history, and although to be truthful, it necessarily points to a glaring disparity in educational opportunities between the white and colored children of the State, nevertheless, it strikes an optimistic note inasmuch as the writer sees that, "The future will offer more rapid development than we have had in the past ten years. The difficulty in making a beginning has been overcome. The future is full of promise." Mr. Mason's article on the Booker T. Washington high school is the most descriptive on that much talked and written of subject yet penned. Even for Norfolk people who have visited and inspected this building it is necessary to read this article to get a full appreciation and understanding of the magnitude of the plant and the advancement it records in the educational rating of Virginia in general and of the Negro in particular. The idea behind a plant of this nature as set out in Mr. Mason's article strikes one as marking a most progressive step in primary and secondary education. Both articles are appropriately illustrated and are commended to the reading of Virginians everywhere. Falling Standard of Morality It is a matter of vital concern to the race that its standard of morality be maintained at the highest all of the time, not only in one place but in all places. The best interests of the race require it. It is a lamentable fact; however, that we can't always have all that is best and that is required. The most that we can hope for at any time is that the best will always overtop the worst in our morals as in every thing else affecting our well being. It is the common complaint everywhere that there has been a marked falling off in the moral tone of all people, which was greatly helped along by the World War, moral laxity being one of the evils that accompany and follow war; but there are other causes for the laxity among the world wide tendency to luxurious living and pleasures and the greater freedom in the relations of the sexes, which has a direct relation to the decline of religious faith and observance, about which we have so much complaint. You cannot remove the old landmarks and set up new ones, nor move in winter, without having troubles of your own, as the Scriptures warn us. We have it from many sources, in our exchanges and in our observation, that there is a distinct falling standard of morality in our group, as in that of others, with which we are only relatively concerned, which the thoughtful are bound to notice and protest against as a matter of race conservation. The freedom allowed our young people between the years of ten and twenty, the lack of oversight of their coming and going and their whereabouts and doings, is one of the phases of the question not to be overlooked. It was not so in the old days and it should not be so now. The latest outburst of indignation against the falling moral standard among our group comes through the Indianapolis Freeman, an old conservative war horse which is not given to flying the track. The Freeman alleges the greatest possible laxity in the high and low social circles of our group in Indianapolis, and in doing so has "let loose the dogs of war," to all which it makes reply: "Silly arguments, abuse, ridicule, may serve to lull to sleep consciences that are already seared by overmuch indulgence, but they do not and cannot do away with the fact that Indianapolis needs to clean house, and to inaugurate a renaissance of noble-mindedness, intellectual and moral culture and worthy endeavor." That is the position to take. A high standard of morality among us must be maintained, and it is the business of our press and pulpit to help maintain it. Let those who are guilty howl when struck. That is what they are struck for. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By The CAMERAMAN (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) 1. Amen! Mr. Attorney General. 2. The Marshall vs. "Jim Democrat." Attorney-General Harlan F. Stones, addressing the Annual Con- Spirit of the Press From the Southern Workman. There is a movement towards the development of rural high schools in the South. The name given to these high schools in the making is county training schools. While the primary purpose of these is to prepare elementary rural teachers, other valuable ends are achieved, as such schools bring the rural children in contact with advanced courses of study and with a better grade of teachers, put them under more favorable conditions for work and study, and enlarge their vision of the field of knowledge. Many a child who would otherwise drop out of school after completing the seventh grade is inspired by study in a county training school to continue his education in more advanced institutions. There are twenty-five of these county training schools located in as many counties of Virginia. Twenty-four of these give courses above the elementary grades; three of them offer work through the tenth grade. Most of them occupy well-planned and well-constructed buildings. Efforts are being made in many of them to provide adequate laboratories for the teaching of science and to secure maps for the teaching of history. Thirty-five teachers in these schools are engaged in high-school work. Of this number fifteen hold academic degrees. There is a splendid foundation in each of these shools for development into a standard, four-year, rural high school. Several of them have this as their objective within the next few years. Business First From Chicago Whip. The ever increasing demand by the press that young black men enter the business field in larger numbers and equipped with all the education and training that they can command is as timely as it should be effective. There is no good conceivable reason for the best brains and energy of the black man staying out any longer from the marts of trade and commerce. The past difficulty, or rather curse, to the advancement of business among black folks has been the ignorance, stupidity and cupidity of the pioneers of our few enterprises. Now that young men are coming up with education and ideals of expansion, the time is ripe to encourage them to pit their strength and youth against the difficulties of business building and to rear up structures and organizations that will become permanent fixtures in the growth of the race, and which will give fruitful competition to the white man. The professions are receiving their full quota of equipped young men, so there need be no worry on that score; but in business, which is the backbone of progress, we are sadly lacking in material. To meet this need is the next immediate step to progress, and the sooner it is accomplished the sooner will the black people attain their goal. The Bishop And The Judge From Star of Zion. Bishop Warren A. Candler and Judge John S. Candler, brothers of Atlanta, Ga., are in opposing camps on the question of the unification of seven million Methodists under the present plan—Bishop Candler opposing unification—Judge Candler favoring it. At the General Conference of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church at Chattanooga, Judge Candler seemed not to be afraid of the Negro bugaboo. Judge Candler is reported as saying: That if the Northern Methodists were half as mean as opponents of unification charged them he would be more than satisfied to trust his future with the Negro Methodists of Georgia. Upon hearing this challenge the delegates leaped to their feet and yelled. Judge Candler had previously remarked that although he probably had tried ten thousand Negroes in is court, he had yet to find a single one who was an official member of the Methodist church. Bishop Candler, on the other hand, deplores even the suggestion of accepting a Negro bishop, asserting it was not good for the Negroes and intolerable to the whites. Bishop Candler seems willing to accept the fatherhood of God if in so doing he can reject the brotherhood of man; but that is impossible. Negroes Must Vote From Furman Seminary. If there is anything the Negro needs to do it is to take a more active interest in politics. The average Negro feels that he has discharged his obligations as a citizen when he goes to the polls every four years and votes the Republican ticket. It is well that he participate in the general election; but he should be just as much concerned with the local elections. Indeed his greatest interest should be in local politics. The men who are closest to him and mean most to him, are the men who hold office in his community. He should desire and should demand a voice in the placing of taxes on his property; the selection of men to legislate local laws to govern him, and to appropriate the funds which he pays into the city's treasury. He should be interested in the paving of the streets upon which he lives, the erection of playgrounds for his children and the protection of his home and his property by the men who his taxes pay to do this. The Negro must vote as a man and as a citizen and not as a part of a party machine. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By The CAMERAMAN (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) Attorney-General Harlan F. Stones, addressing the Annual Convention of the American Bar Association, last week, pointedly called the attention of the learned barristers to the fact that law enforcement in America is on the decline. The able Cabinet official frankly stated that there should be a stimulation of that popular and official morale which is essential to the due execution of the laws, and a curtailment of those forces which tend to break down the morale of the law enforcement agencies. And we pause to say "Amen," being mindful, too, that we must retain our normal optimism. A series of recent incidents might be quickly offered in evidence to sustain Mr. Stone's declaration; and while not all of them call for a prosecutor and a jury, each and every one of them depict a mental attitude on the part of the scoffers of law enforcement which leads down the long lane to the situation decried by the Attorney-General. In the first place, the classes seem bent upon ruling the masses. The time-honored institution of American democracy is being repeatedly beset by an epidemic of "I am holier than thou." America's moral advance, as pictured by a few strong-armed groups, is not moving forward rapidly enough to satisfy the whims of various bands of super-theorists. Education, religion, and civic welfare have been side-tracked to let the "Suprenancy Express" run wild. The result could be nothing other than what it is: Derision of the law, with oncoming violations which grow and grow. It matters not whether it be prohibition, constitutional, or other enforcement, the classes strive to dictate to the masses. Money, special privilege, selfish desire, and skin hue lead the procession, and the struggling brethren are among the foremost victims of non-enforcement of the law. Saturday, July 19, 1924 Teaching Self-Control in School It is not enough to encourage high-school teachers to do certain positive things. Administrative officers, particularly principals, should insist that their teachers refrain in all class room work from indulging in sarcastic or contemptuous remarks, no matter how ignorant or trifling some students may appear, for it is often true that "smartness" or "freshness" or "impudence" or cleaverness of repatrize on the part of students is merely a cloak for lack of knowledge or fear of being shown up as unprepared before the class. All teachers should respect the personalities of their pupils and give them an opportunity of getting a fair hearing whenever a matter of serious difficulty arises. A pupil who feels that a teacher is unfair always leaves the school with a desire to strike back, not only at the teacher, but also at all constituted authority, whether vested in school or other officers. High-school principals should see to it that their teachers—and they themselves—set pupils sound standards of self-control, for nothing is so demoralizing as a group of teachers who repeatedly "let themselves go"; that is have spells of quick temper, mete out rapid punishment without getting at underlying facts, or get "adgy" as their nerves. Nothing done in temper is ever done right. Law is slow moving. Individual violence paves the way for mob violence and the only way to peace is thru intelligence, self-control, and the persistent exercise of Christian virtues—patience, gentleness, meekness, forgiveness, and long-suffering. Poets' Corner Hervey Smith McCowan (For A. N. P.) She carried me under her heart. She loved me before I was born. She took God's hand in hers and walked through the Valley of Shadows that I might live. She bathed me when I was helpless. She clothed me when I was naked. She gave me warm milk from her own body when I was hungry. She rocked me when I was weary. She pillowed me on pillows softer than down, and sang to me in the voice of an angel. She held my hand when I learned to walk. She nursed me when I was sick. She suffered with my sorrow. She laughed with my joy. She glowed with my triumph. While I knelt at her knee, she taught my lips to pray. Through all the days of youth she gave strength for my weakness, courage for my despair, and hope to fill my hopeless heart. She was loyal when others failed. She was true when tried by fire. She was my friend when other friends were gone. She prayed for me through all the days, when flooded with sunshine and saddened by shadows. She loved me when I was unloved, and led me into man's estate to walk triumph on the King's Highway and play the manly part. Though he lay down his life for her, he can can pay the debt he owes to a Christian mother. God bless the mother of men-living or dead. They are still our mothers and the memory touches our hearts with tenderness and fills our eyes with mist and tears.

One guy said, the town he came from was so hard that the cane birds sang bass, and instead eating bird seeds they are bread and molasses. Everybody knows some well states are supposed to possess towns. They are not as bad now as used to be in the days of the coaches and bandits. But you may bet your boots they are bad enough. In one town out West, the roads are so tough that the cane can't serve anything but scrambled eggs. Well, you don't have to go West always to find tough towns in communities. One fellow, who had been training in some of the oriental countries, said the Orientals are the people. He said they take young boys and throw them overboard to allow the sharks to eat them. The call that sacrifice. You can remain right here this country and see that. The people here let them grow up and the sharks get them in the same and they don't call that a sacrifice either. One guy was so tough that didn't have a shadow. His shaw was afraid of him. All you had to say was: Beecke is coming and all the met town would put their coats on the ground so he wouldn't his feet dirty and muss up pants when he kicked them. There was another town was so rough that the rab would fight the dogs and the rab would chase the bulls. Out of all the tough to there's one that shatters all ords. In that town, the mosquitoes so tough that they wear gas masks to keep the folks from smother them with smoke. They also carry scissors to the mosquito net so that can get at the sleeping people and when he arrives at the pit of the pit he leaps to his door. How much ivory lies there? Will discover it?
