THE VACATION
When we take the vacation to which we have been looking for the past twelve months, we are going to a quiet spot on the Atlantic coast. Inhabited by simple natives. We will not see a magazine. We will not see a newspaper. We will not see a typewriter. We will not hear a radio. We will not hear a telephone. We will hear no gossip. We will see nobody we know. We will not see nothing that will remind us of the city. In this simple, quiet place, we expect to stay two weeks. But, actually, we shall probably stay two days.

of the managers of the Tripure Water Company, but the assertions of eminent medical men, expressed after mature observation of the effect of liquid food on the human system.
Says Dr. C. P. Cathcart, Kansas City., Mo., "There is no doubt as to the value of distilled water, used fully as a retarder of the ossifying conditions which appear to constitute the condition of old age. Distilled water is a powerful solvent and, at the same time, a delightful drink. It prevents disease oftimes by dissolving the calcarous deposits usually left in the body by raw water. Distilled water is prescribed by many physicians for rheumatism, as it dissolves uric acid crystals in the blood."

The Tripure Water, advertised in these columns is a pure distilled water and is constantly growing in popularity by Norfolk people who have careful regard for their health, and especially among those who hope to retain their youth over many years yet to come.
Dr. R. N. Tooker, Chicago, adds: "For flushing the kidneys, stimulating the sluggish liver, eliminating waste matter from the system; indeed for all affection in which medicinal waters are believed to be effacious, pure distilled water furnished a long sought desideratum."

B. P. BERNARD/YOUNG, JR.
M. A. H. Turner, president of the Turner and Turner Company, athletic goods dealers, who are situated at Lawrenceville, and an active and prominent member of the Virginia Tennis Association, in a letter commenting on last week's Reflections urging more junior participation in tennis, endorses the idea to have a Junior tournament in connection with the open Tidewater tournament to be held the first two weeks in September, and further explains why the Virginia association has been unable to stage a junior tournament. The complete text of his letter follows:
of the Turner and Turner Company are situated at Lawrenceville, and member of the Virginia Tennis Association last week's Reflections urging more horses the idea to have a Junior tournment Tidewater tournament to be held and further explains why the Virto stage a junior tournament.

"I have read with much interest your sport editorial. I am indeed happy to know that you, through, the Journal and Guide, have interested yourself in stimulating tennis among the younger set. While this game, in which a large number of young people can take a part, has been for such a long time neglected I can't understand.
"We are trying to make it possible here at St. Paul to give opportunity to all students, male and female, to take part in this particular sport.
"Nothing will stimulate better interest in tennis in Norfolk, however, than to stage a Junior tournament along with your Invitation Tournament this summer. If this was done in each of the cities and towns, it would not be long before we could have a good State meet for the Juniors and non-professional.
"The Virginia Lawn Tennis Association has for a number of years tried to get the younger fellows to the annual meet; but the truth of the matter was that they were too few. Our players came from those who had attended the larger schools and universities."
"If the players of Lawrenceville will be of any help in stimulating the interest which you are starting in Norfolk, please call upon us and we will, at least, put in our personal appearance and assist in any way that we can."
A. H. TURNER
Norfolk is coming to the front, as we continually assert. Practice and tournament experience will develop good players and better official. Experience and psychology are two of the great elements of sport.
This city has never been represented at the State tournament. But this year, at the meet to be held at Petersburg, the Tidewater Tennis Club, plans to send four members who participated in the club tournament of the State meet. The exact personnel to be announced elsewhere. This is progress.
The game is done, and the despair
Which of defeat is born,

it. As I was saying, I was once nighted by a king an this bozo was the king that nighted me, only he didnt not night me by slapping me side the head with a sword He slaps me with a boxing glove an a plenty of it too, an I dont mean may be. I no that you all wants to no how I was nighted by this kink of the rink, but remember what I said. That was when I started in the game. Of course when I got on the way good nobody else could not night me The knight that I was nighted, why the palace was full. The palace was the arena you know, I was led up to the king who was in his throne, the ring you know. The whole affair came off with pomp and royal dignity. This king I'm telling you all about was a sure nuff king. He had all his royal dignitaries with him, his seconds and handlers you know.
Well, it didn't not take him long to night me. I was nighted soon after the gong sounds letting us no that the first round was ready to start. I bowed to the royal audience when the bell rings. My bow was not really completed. I had made the downward motion, but when I started to regain the perpendicular which would have been the completion of it, why this chump of a king crowns me—the church bell, started ringing, the birds chirping, then I heard a dull roar an what else happens, why you hafta ask sumbody else what was there an saw the things. Well, I was nighted, I jes as well had been nighted. I was sleep all the time. Any time a man's sleep 'tis night with him far's he's concerned.
E. CITY GIANTS WIN HARD FOUGHT GAME
Elizabeth City, N. C., July 28—The Elizabeth City Giants managed by the well known baseball man, L. D. Overton, defeated the Washington Stars in a hard and bitterly fought contest held here Monday by the score of 11 to 5. The game was played in the Stadium and was fairly well attended. The hard hitting of McCloud in pinches was the cause of many of the runs scored by the Giants. Two southpaws were sent to the mound by Spruill in the beginning of the contest, but were lacking in the experience necessary to turn back opponents. Spruill then went in and was invincible, striking out eight men.

What them babies did, I can do with my eyes shet. Why the bozos cant even play the game at all. Of course there was sum good playing—yes good for nothing. The game was actually tame as a lamb. A snail is a speed demon compared to them fellows playing. They play tennis like the Norfolk base ball team play base ball an I don't mean may be. I thot bout connecting myself up with this here club, but I don't see any use in doing it now. Why I'm a fellow what wants competition an when I don't get it, it aint so use for me to bother with it. I could go over to France to play in the olympicks, but I didn't not want to go.
KNIGHTED BY KINGS
I seed in the papers sum time ago that sum doc, what was in one of the islands owned by england had won sum what of a signal honor or had to appear before the king. Everybody seems to think that that was sum honor. Well, thataint authing at all. Why, I've got more honor then that. Then, sum deem to thing that he will possibly get knighted by the king of England or sumthing like that. You know that the king an his royal dignity nigted a chink sum time ago. All them things is called high honors. When the king nigtes you, you hafta get down on your knees an he swats you side the dome with a sword. Well, I been nighted by a king, what I mean. And he wont the king of germany neither. This baby was a honest to goodness real straight up and down, out an out sure nuff king. That was when I first started in the fight game.

CONFLICTING REPORT LIBRARY OBSERVES SENT ON SAME GAME THIRD ANNIVERSARY
Two reports of a series of three games played between the Elizabeth City Giants and the Belleville Industrial School, the "Saints" came into this office this week. Neither was from the same party, and neither agreed in details such as the scores, or in the more important things, such as the winner of the majority of the games played. Since we had no way of really finding out which report was correct before press time we publish both to do justice to both teams.
The one from Elizabeth City follows:
Elizabeth City, N. C., July 28— The Elizabeth City Giants took two out of a three game series from the Saints here recently, playing an uphill battle in one game to come from behind and win.
the Giants. Pop Glover returned to the game on Monday and showed good form. Hawkins was the bright and shining batting star. That one game which the Saints won was the first game which was held on Monday. Score 14 to 13. In Tuesday's game "Cannonball" Savage took the hillock and turned in a victory for the Giants by the score of 11 to 9. At times his pitching was unhittable, and the a big score was finally made, he pitched better than that would indicate.
The Giants copped the Wednesday game with Joe Spruill, the high school hope, on the mound for five innings, and Nixon taking the nightcap innings, "Red" Spruill went like a whirlwind for his five innings, and Southpaw Nixon was just as unhillable, scoring a shutout. Score 9 to 0.

LIBRARY OBSERVES THIRD ANNIVERSARY
The Blyden Branch of the Norfolk Public Library celebrated its third anniversary and the presentation of its new addition to the public last Friday. July 25.
The program began with music and prayer by Rev. F. W. Black, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church. The choirs of Bank Street Baptist and the Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Churches rendered many choice selections which received vigorous applause from the audience. The orchestra of the First Baptist Church also rendered several selections and won unstinted applause. Mrs. Mabel Young, representing St. John's A. M. E. Church gave a piano selection that was well rendered. The audience showed its appreciation by its close attention during the rendition and the prolonged applause at its close. The president of the library committee made remarks concerning the work of the institution. Short speeches were made by the following ministers: Rev. C. M. Long, J. A. Young, D. W. White. The librarian urged on those present to take more interest in the institution by getting more adults interested in it and the use of its additional facilities.
The program was fine, and it was the sentiment of those present that the absent ones missed a rare treat.
Especial thanks is extended by the library committee to the ministers of the city who contributed so materially to the success of the program, and particularly Rev. C. M. Long, who took such a personal interest in the success of the First Baptist Church orchestra for the excellent music rendered on the occasion. Mr. Salisbury, who raised a nice sum to assist in defraying the expenses is extended the thanks of the committee.

Insurance Company Celebrating 30th Year
The Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary in the form of a Jubilee, its session being held at its home office in Richmond, beginning Wednesday of this week and extending through Friday afternoon at which time the delegates were given a boat ride down the James river.
Mr. T. C. Williams with his clerk, Miss Emily Britt and seven of the twelve agents of his force left for Richmond on Wednesday morning in company with Theodore Nash, superintendent of the Portsmouth Branch and Mr. M. R. Jackson. With the addition of the straight life department about 2 years ago the Richmond Beneficial has made rapid growth and the Norfolk office reports an unprecedented volume of business for the first half of 1924.
The convention will discuss such topics as the present appraisal of Negro Insurance companies in relation to modern insurance companies as a whole, the growing tendency among the thoughtful Negroes to take out larger policies as a protection to their families and means and facilities for getting insurance on a large body of Negroes who carry none of their insurance with Negro companies. Experts will be brought before the convention to discuss the universal appeal of insurance among all classes of the people, the varied character of insurance and the rising sentiment to make insurance a compulsory act for the elimination of poverty and the accomplishment of old age in an atmosphere of serenity and peace free from all fear of financial worry and apprehension.

set semi-final mateh. ‘The umpir-
ing of Mr. J. B. Robinson and Mr.
Geo. Ward was of a high class or-
der, but the same cannot be said of
some of the other officials, It was
just a matter of carelessness ot
something of the sort. But it hurt
the morale of the contestants. How-
ever, considering that this was the
first tournament which has been
held, these things can, in a nieas-
ure, be overlooked and the club
praised. Three suggestions arc
hereby offered for future use:
That the drawings be more prop-
erly drawn up; that umpires and
linesmen be more carefully picked
and the contestants be more
prompt. +
First Matct oF FINaus
In the first match of the finals,
Robinson and Burke, who took
Landy Taylor’s place, won the first
game, Faulks and Jackson the
second. Then Jackson and Faulks
went ahead at 3 to 1, but Robinson
and Burke rallied, and with the
powerful drives of Robinson, and
the excellent placing of thos
drives, and the all-round playing of
Burke they broke through to take
the set at 6-3. “In the second set
by the same steady playing of Reb-
inson and Burke, they were leading
at 5 games to J when the set was
called on account of darkness, The
deciding play was held on Tuesday.
Jackson and Faulks came in for
a lot of credit when they made
almose impossible returns and
excellent placements to secure
many points.
First Roux Dountes
‘The first match in the first round
‘of the doubles proved to he one of
the hardest fought since the tour-
nament has been on, George Ward
and John Mainor opposed T. P.
Turner and W. T. Mason, Ward
and Mainor triumphed, but it was
a long and hard founght battle,
often with prolonged rallies which
resulted in both sides deucing
games.
Ward and Mainor broke through
Mason's serve for the first game,
and together with the uncertainty
of Mason and Turner in the first
four games, which resulted in
double faulting and netting, and
the superior work of Mainor at
the net, annexed the first four
games of the opening set. Ward's
playing and Mainor's smashing
Jdrives at the net were outstanding
features up to the fourth game,
but Mason and Turner, by hard
uphill fighting. fine pickups and
placements by Turner and effective
serving by Mason, won the -fifth
game to make the count 4-1. They
were rallying fast and won the
next game on a “Kill” -by Mason
at the net, score now 4-2, but stil
favoring Ward and Mainor. Main-
or’s ‘net work came to the front
again and particularly through it
he and his partner .won the next
game to make the count 5-2 in
their favor. “But Mason and Turn-
er were fighting hard to even the
sount and, resorting to a smashing
net game, won the next three
games to duece the set. Turner's
serviee was-broken through for ad.
vantage, but Mason and Turner
broke through Ward's service tc
duece the set again. Mainor and
Ward won next two games for set.

Harrisburg, Pa., July 3!—(P.

Saturday on. the Island Park dia-
mond, have entered charges of as-
saull and battery against Estrada
and Lewis, two members of the
Middletown, N. Y. team, as « result
of the free-for-all fight which .oe-
cured during. the game.
‘The charges include inciting to
riot, assault and. battery and-at-
tempt to kill. No arrests .have
been made as the Cuban players
left. Harrisburg immediately after
the game, They will be:placed un-
der arrest as soon as they return
to Pennsylvania.
‘The Cuban players kicked on
many decisions, and Estrada and
Lewis were banished from the
field, after Lewis had thrown dirt
in the face of Stroup. The riot
folowed.
Inext two. Turner and Mason
fevened it at two all. With the
‘score 4-5 in favor of Mason and
lTurner, they dropped one for a
‘duece set, then swept their way
ithrough for next two games and set
jae 75.
| In the third set there was little
‘to choose until after the sixth

broke through for a 6-3 set and the

J. E, Watkins and P, B. Young,
Jr, Won an easy match from John
Davis and Wm. MeCoy in straight
sets. They played with a deter-
mination that was not to be denied
jin the first set and swept through
jwinning their services and theit
‘opponents’ for love set.
The second set was harder
fought, for Young and Watkins
allowed their opponents to gel
a three game lead. Realizing that
Ithere was danger of a dueced set,
| they captured: the next four games,
jonly to lose the next and even the
set at d-all. On the next service,
Young was effective, and together
with the fine placements of Wat-
kins and a service ace, won -the
jgame. The last game was deuced
i twice before the final point was
‘decided, then Watkins and Young
broke through Davis's service to
win the set and match. 6-0. 6-1.
It was just a case of a cut-stroke
same against drives and fine place-
ments, and the cut. strokes were
not equal to the task.
__M, Youxe anv Custis Wis
Perhaps the easiest match of the
first round was that in which Miles
Young and Chester Custis defeated
Abner Lee and Owen Wilson, two
love sets. It was apparent from
the heginning that Young and Cus-
tis would win, but the team of
Lee and Wilson, especially Wilson,
showed signs of a better game than
that which they put up, and with
a little more practice will Kive
a harder battle next time.
Two DerAuETs
‘The two teams of Will Harvey
and Clif Bailey and James Mill
and Hilton Faulks forfeited _he-
cause of non-appearance, The
team of Burke and Jackson, which
drew a hye in the first round was
dissolved and Jackson and Faulks
paired up in the second round.

J. F. Watkins and P, B. Young

J. E. Watkins and P. B. Young,
Jr. and Miles Young and Chester
Custis opposed each other in the
second round of the doubles, hav-
ing won in the first round. Both
teams seemed to be off their usual
game.
Here it was that the placements
of Watkins and his low drives
over the net, coupled with effective
serving by him and his partner, P.
B. Young, came to the front. They
took the lead in the first set and
never relinquished it, losing only
two games to take the match at
6-2. Both teams resorted to place-
ments when possible, neither being
able to get a driving stroke work-
ing effectively. There were times
when the winners weve forced to
travel all over the court to make
returns, but never did the confi
dence of -the winning.team to score
an ultimate victory leave them. In
the second set they made oceasion-
al brilliant returns, but their stead-
iness seemed to have left them, and

posed Geo.” Ward and Mainor in
the second game of the second
round and won, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Mainor and Ward took the first
set at 6-1," but neither member of
the team was playing the game
that they displayed in their first
match, They lacked their usual
steadiness and sting to their
strokes.
In the second set Jackson and
auth won the first two games,
Jost the third, and took the fourth
to make the score 8-1 in their fav-
or. Mainor and Ward rallied to
make the count 3-2, then 3-all.
Jackson and Faulks won the next
three games chiefly through the
powerful serving of Faulks and the
really brilliant net work of Jack-
son. His placing of hard shots
was a deciding point in many ral-
lies, and they won the second set
at 6-3.
The third set went to them by
the same score. It was just a
case of one team not being up to
the standard previously set and
another playing heady tennis.

SEMI-FINATS
J. E. Watkins and P, B. Young,
Jr, who had played through to a
position in the semi-finals, were
defeated in straight sets by scores
of 6-4, 6-3. Jackson and Faulks
took the first game on service, and
Watkins won his service to even
the count. Faulks served through
for another game, but Young, after
trailing by a 40-love count, came
through to serve three consecutive
aces and dueced the game and fin-
ally won it when Watkins drove
one by the opponents. The scores
of these two matches are close,
hut even then they do not give an
accurate line on the closeness
of the contest, Nearly every
yame was dueced two or three
times, and until bad decisions had
demoralized the losers, it was any-
body's match, Watkins and Young
had played more matches to reach
the semi-finals than any other
team, and this probably had worn
them down and taken a little of
their snap.

petition which is under way will

OF ‘BEL’ VILLE SCHOOL
On Sunday the Elks, who have
[deen going full speed ahead in the
Jmatter of defeating opponents, lit
erally swamped the “Saintg” of
Belleville Industrial School by run-
ning up a total number of 18 runs
to the 8 scored by the fast fielding
and hard hitting Bellevilleites.
Slim Barnes received the assign:
ment to Ko to the firing line and
lexcept for two innings when he got
into a hole with the bases luaded,
pitched fine ball, In the pinches
the brilliant infield of the Elks
would flash out and hold thefr own
[to choke off any threatening runs.
James Foy (Sleepy) led the bat-
ting with a stinging three base
hit, Nixon was a close second with
a slashing two bagger. Wagner,
pitching for the “Saints” was
knocked out of the box, to the de-
light of the Elks, who have been
trying just that thing all of the
season. J. §, Plummer, by boot:
ing six chances, led in the error
‘column, but it was probably his
off day. Jackson succeeded Wag-
ner in the box, but taped little bet-
{ter than /his teammate.

ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH
The services were helpful and inspiring all day Sunday. The Sunday school was out in large numbers. Many of the teachers have returned from summer school and taken up their duties. The pastor preached very helpfully on "The Trials of Life," and caused many to rejoice. The Pew Rally by the Missionary Ladies was nicely attended and the results were very encouraging. The A. C. E. League meetings were good and the discussions very helpful. Next Sunday the Holy Communion will be administered at the 11 a. m. hour and at night the pastor will preach.
Delegates to the District Conference and Sunday School Institute are Rev. J. A. Young, Mr. C. S. Ferebee, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Steptoe, Misses Mary C. Jones, Beatrice Clayton and Superintendent J. M. Collins.
MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
The substantial growth of the Sunday school has necessitated the enlargement of the teaching staff, and a novel plan of competition instituted by the superintendent has caused the collections to almost double. On last Sunday morning 139 scholars were in attendance.
The B. Y. P. U. met in large numbers and presented a program and made preparation to invade the B. Y. P. U. of Jerusalem Baptist Church on next Sunday and present a program. Fully 150 are expected to follow President Clemons on this pilgrimage.
The morning service was a source of inspiration for all who were present and the pastor, Rev. Johnson, preached a soul-stirring sermon from the text, "They that know thy name shall put their trust in thee."
At the evening hour, the pastor preached from the subject, "No room for Christ in our lives," which was rendered with an impressiveness seldom equalled. Large audiences greeted the pastor at each service and the offerings were excellent. There were two accessions. The pastor has made known his plans for the enlargement and beautification of the present church edifice along such lines as will give it a picturesque setting in, and lend credit to this beautiful community. He being an architect of note, no one doubts his assertions, and the congregation and community are solidly behind him in this move.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Sunday, Rev. Jacobs delivered a sermon long to be remembered from the subject, "Even the Present Day Christian Must Fight," drawn from Eph. 6:12. Truly this sermon went to the hearts of his many hearers as he enumerated some of the flagrant evils of the city. There was one addition to the church.
Thes Sunday school and B. Y. P. U., were largely attended and their respective classes were indeed interesting.
Because of the illness of the Senior President's wife, "Grandpa" was not at his usual post of duty.
At night, Dr. D. E. Over, Field Representative of the National Baptist Convention, gave a most thoughtful and eloquent sermon or "Humanity's Supreme Tragedy," from the text recorded Mark 4:7.
EASTERN STAR CHURCH OF
CHRIST
Last Sunday morning at 10:45 o'clock, the Sunday school was well attended. At 11:45 the pastor, Elder J. Haile, preached a strong sermon. Several visitors were present in this service.

"What Is Heresy"
Sermon Topic
"What is heresy" will be the subject of a special sermon by Rev. Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night. He announces that he will attempt in this and succeeding sermons to quicken the thought of the average Christian and challenge him to search for the more vital experiences in religion.
Ina letter from Lynchburg, Va., where he is spending the last few days of his annual vacation, Rev. Bowling says, "For two weeks I had the coveted opportunity for study and reconsecration afforded by the Chesapeake Summer School for religious and social workers—amid the quiet hills of Harper's Ferry, West Va., shut off from the cares and worries of a busy pastorate, and surrounded by a large body of like-minded students, I received what I hope to be able in part to give my congregations,—a maturer and more vitalizing experience of God." Rev. Bowling will return to the city in time to fill his pulpit at both services this Sunday.
Grace P. E. Rector Installed With Impressive Ceremony
The institution of Rev. B. W. Harris, recently elected rector of Grace P. E. Church took place Sunday as scheduled with impressive ceremonies.

Thompson, sermon by Archdeacon Russell, of Lawrenceville and Holy Communion. The keys of the church were turned over to the rector by Mr. L. Sims, senior warden of the church.

TIDEWATER SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION HOLDS SESSION
What was one of the most inspiring and beneficial meetings of its kind was that of the Tidewater Baptist Sunday School Convention, which assembled in its twenty-fourth annual session, July 16-18, with the Sunday school of the First Baptist Church, Riverview, Virginia, Rev. E. Griffin pastor and Deacon Nelson Gardner, superintendent.
The first session of the Convention was held Wednesday evening; July 16th, at which time there was a large assemblage of delegates and friends. This was termed "A Great Get-together Meeting," preparatory to the formal opening of the Convention on Thursday morning. Much interest was manifested in this meeting—echoes being heard from all parts of the field, and each reporting progress in his or her respective field. Sweet and enchanting music by the Sunday school choir of the First Baptist Church of Riverview and the junior choir of the Queen Street Baptist Church, of Hampton, made the occasion all that could be desired.
Holiness Church In Convocation Here
(Continued from Page One) the convocation has been a marked success.
Headquarters of the Church of Christ (Holiness) U. S. A. are in Jackson, Miss. Dr. Charles P. Jones, of Los Angeles, is the national president; Dr. Conic, vice president. Dr. J. F. Morris, of Newport News, state overseer and Rev. C. H. Winchester, of Norfolk, state reporter.
Andrews Acquitted Of Wife's Charges
(Continued from Page One) ment, it was not that of the defendant.
More than ordinary interest has been exhibited in the case because of the fact that Counsellor Andrews is the first Negro representative of the local bar who has practiced in Wilmington for more than 25 years. The incident has therefore been generally deployed by the Negro population. The couple have lived apart since Andrews' arrest and it is reported that Mrs. Andrews is preparing to return to Norfolk. Friends of each have been endeavoring to effect a reconciliation, but no progress has been made in that direction.

On Thursday morning there were welcome addresses delivered as follows: On 'behalf of the Sunday school, Miss Emma Griffin; on behalf of the church, Deacon Nelson Gardner. These addresses were able responded to by Mrs. Lillian E. Hoffman and Mr. R. F. Banks. The most outstanding feature of the morning's program was a lecture, upon the subject "The Bible" by Rev. J. A. Brown, D. D., of Hampton. In this wonderful lecture, the speaker told the Bible's origin, how it was compiled, its various translations, etc.
In Dr. Brown's second lecture, which was delivered Friday morning, he spoke of "The Bible; Its Worth and Practical Adaptability to the World." The leading points brought out in this discourse were, The evidence and genuiness of the authenticity of the Bible, the veracity of the Bible, and the durability of the Bible. The speaker was most convincing in his argument, and brought to light some of the most valuable and helpful thoughts produced by a speaker. Dr. Brown was commended for this very helpful lecture and a high compliment to him is that he has been asked to repeat the same lecture before the Tidewater Baptist Association, which convenes at the Zion Baptist Church of Newport News, in August.
Thursday afternoon, the Convention listened, with interest, to the annual message of President Lee, which was a masterpiece of literature. The subject used by Prof. Lee was "How to keep the young

people in the church," from which subject, the Committee on President's Address, drew the following high points, and which were recommended and adopted:
1. That the family altar be rebuilt as a center of worship, even before we are blasted by the terrific winds of depression and affliction, thus honoring the tabernacle of God amid prosperity as well as adversity.
2. That the young people of our Sunday schools and churches be encouraged to be active and interested in sane, sensible, uplifting entertainments in our churches, and for their interest.
3. That all church and Sunday school affairs be attended by a clean, clear-cut, business management that is worthy of being followed by secular institutions and organizations.

Rev. H. A. Boyd, In Open Letter, Assails Alleged Slanders Of Late Father
I am just writing a few facts and saying a few things, and I am making it an open letter, because from your unmanly attack and from your false misrepresentations I do not believe that you could be true. You printed it and you must have read the proof on it, or otherwise you have allowed somebody to put something over on you. May I repeat?—My father, the late R. H. Boyd, DID NOT organize the Sunday School Publishing Board in 1896, and I wish that you would desist from circulating these damaging reports in printed form. You have a perfect right to build anything you desire.—Baptist or Democratic in its form of government. There are but two units; first, the individual in a Missionary Baptist Church, and second, the local church; we have no state church in our National Baptist Convention, so that so long as we live under the rules and regulations of our own church as taught in the Scriptures, we have a perfect right to move and have our being, serving God under our own vine and fig tree.
A few nights ago when you and I were at the Union Station and you were talking to me as though you were my friend, slobbering affectionately over me as an obedient son, attempting to pay a glowing tribute to the work of my father who now sleeps, having gone the way of all the earth, I did not know that in your hand bag at the time you had the vile, false, malicious statements that you were carrying East to circulate against the Institution that my father had built for the denomination.
In this letter Dr. Jordan, I challenge you to deny the statement that I make here, that the Sunday School Publishing Board WAS NOT organized by my father. My father, I repeat, organized the NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD, which Board was granted a charter in 1898, "UNDER THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND HOLDING OFFICE UNDER THE RULES AND USAGES AND REGULATIONS OF SAID CONVENTION A BODY POLITIC AND COOPERATE, BY NAME AND STYLE OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD OF SAID CONVENTION OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OR DENOMINATION." I have quoted verbatim et literatum from the charter granted by the state of Tennessee, which charter was accepted by the National Baptist Convention.
You may consider it disdourteous for me to write this open letter, but since you were not Christian enough and man enough to treat Dr. Boyd's son, who happens to revive his memory, and who is trying to hold up the part of the denomination's work committed to him, with respect, then I write you thus, that the whole denomination might know of your two-faced position, for veritably you are "facing both ways" when you see me." Yours truly.
HENRY A. BOYD. Secretary.

Nashville, Tenn., July 30—In an en letter addressed to Rev. L. Jordan, Louisville, Ky., and reased here this week, Rev. Henry Ben Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, verifies the veracity of Dr. Jordan active to assertions made in a simplept entitled, "Histograph," warning the late Rev. R. H. Hood, of which Rev. Jordan is the honor. Boyd charges that statements made in the booklet concern his late father are slanderous. Butters a strong refutation of his. His letter follows: V. L. G. Jordan, L. D., Nashville, Kentucky.
Dr. Jordan have just noticed a little subplot that comes out under histograph" with your name attained, purporting to give the history of some of the work of the national Baptist Convention. New, Dr. Jordan, you worked in my father for years; you and were the senior secretaries of a different Boards; you were secretary of the Foreign Mission Board which was located and intered at Louisville, Ky. You saw a great deal about the form mission work, I would not mention you along that line, but link as an ordained Baptist minister and as a man who has worked years in the Foreign Mission Board, you ought to at least truthful. My father is dead, labored with the Negro Baptist years. He died in the mess.

MAJOR WHITEHEAD
WEDS MISS CALDWELL
Commandant of Cadets of St. Paul School Joins Benedicts; Couple Honeymooning in Cuba.
Lawrenceville, Va.—The social event of the week was the return of Major Wm. M. Whitehead, Commandant of Cadets, St. Paul's School and his bride, the former Miss Genevieve Caldwell, from Havana, Cuba, where they had been spending their honey-moon. Mrs. Whitehead is the talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Caldwell, well-known and socially prominent residents of St. Augustine, Florida. Mrs. Caldwell holds a position of trust and responsibility in the welfare department of the State administration. Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead first met at St. Paul's School where both were employed one as commandant and the other teacher in the Kindergarten Department.
The wedding celebration to place at the home of the bride, St. Augustine, Florida, June 18th and was the social event of the month. It was one of the prettiest weddings ever seen in St. Augustine.
The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride, which was most beautifully and appropriately decorated for the occasion with native flowers and ferns, shasta daisies, white cleanders and smilax. For the wedding parlor, dining room and library were thrown into one. A floral arch was erected between the dining room and parlor. It was under this floral canopy that the ceremony was performed. The bridal party entered the room as follows: The bride came down stairs through the hall and parlor to the arch, the groom and best man through the dining room and library. The celebrating clergyman, the Ven. W. T. Wood, Archdeacon, Diocese of Florida, and the Rev. J. Alvin Russell, A. M. Vice Principal of (St. Paul's School and rector of St. Paul's Memorial Chapel, Lawrenceville, had already taken their places under the arch. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Alvin Russell, assisted by Archdeacon Wood. A three piece orchestra, behind the palms consisting of Miss Harriet Pappy, pianist; Mr. A. V. McGirl, flute and Mr. Robert Henry, violin; played Mendelsson's wedding march as the bridal party approached in the following order: Matron of honor, Mrs. L. A. Roberts; ring-beared, Master James Alvin Russell, Jr., bearing on a silver tray, the ring, a platinum manufacture and the bride leaning on the arm of her mother; the groom and his best man, Mr. L. T. Caldwell, brother of the bride. A meditation was played by the orchestra before the wedding march and Mrs. Leon J. Reid, wife of Dr. Reid, leading physician, sang a soprana solo, "O Promise Me."
The bride's gown was a French creation of white georgette over Charmuse with French draping elaborately embroidered with crystal beads. Her slippers were of brocaded silver cloth with crystal beads. Veil, imported Brussel's net, worn cap effect, trimmed with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses with asperagus ferns. The travelling costume was platinum gray of Roshanara crepe, with coat effect of Parisian plaid. Hat of same material with veil to match and a Japanese parasol.
The bride was given away by her mother, Mr. M. A. Caldwell, who wore a handgown gown of black Spanish lace. This was relieved by a large Spanish comb, set with emeralds and green buckles on dress to match. Te matron of honor wore a gown of shell pink georgette draped with gold lace and a large picture hat to match. She carried a bouquet of pink rose buds and asparagus fern. Mrs. Reid who sang, was gowned in turquoise blue crepe de chine, hand embroidered, with picture hat to match.
The wedding took place at highnoon and after a wedding dinner the happy couple entrained for Havana, Cuba, to spend their honeymoon. Over 200 presents were given the bride, many of them silver with china glassware, and linen. On their return here Sunday they were given a reception and welcoming Monday night by Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Whitehead at their cosy cottage on Rose Creek Terrace, St. Paul's School at which the faculty and school and many

Tribbetts Resigns Rather Than Tell
Camden, N. J., July 31—(A. N. P.): Rather than be branded as a stool pigeon or be called a prohibition agent for anybody, Roscoe Tribbett, one of the few race men in the city fire department, resigned from the department before he would divulge where he had obtained the wine that made him somewhat woozy when he reported for duty last week.
"On the carpet," before Commissioner Hitchner, Tribbett explained he had "taken" a little too much wine when he celebrated the advent of the eighth child in his family. Threatened with dismissal if he didn't tell where he had obtained the wine, Tribbett promptly resigned. "I am 32 years old and never have had a yellow stripe." Tribbett had been connected with the fire department for five years and was a member of Engine Company No. 1. The Commissioner was inclined to believe that Tribbett is a maker of the "stuff" and it was the reason he wouldn't tell.

The U. S. Bureau of the Census has just announced that the Nation's population was 112,678,611 on July 1, 1924, and that eleven cities have grown into the 100,000 class during the last year—a tremendous swelling of human American units, indeed. Concurrently, we find that up North the numerical consequences to Negro population are clearly shown in urban statistics. The Negro increase in New York City from 1910 to 1920 was 66 per cent. For several other large cities the corresponding ratios were: Philadelphia, 59 per cent; Pittsburg, 47 per cent; Chicago, 148 per cent; Detroit 611 per cent. Significant increases are noted practically everywhere in the Northland, and they bespeak, indeed, new fortunes for America's dark human content, in religion, in industry, in social stability and progress, and in political freedom. Alas, though, these new fortunes are facing some periods of storm in the form of adverse activities of oppression. Already the Ku Klux Klan has announced, at its Connecticut conference, a 90-year period of formation, during which it prophesies the ascendency of a candidate from its ranks to the presidency of the United States. Less evil are also casting their shadows on the horizon of the future, indicating the need of counteracting hours of prayer and a 24-hour day of watchfulness. Will a permanent coalition between the rank and file of Negroes be made, which will disregard territorial lines and cleave only unto world problems? Will Federal and State constitutional enforcement take precedence over the whims of ambitious individuals who would place self upon a pedestal and race upon an elevator marked "going down"? Will leadership hold a caucus and perfect an organization which recognizes the "majority rule"? These are essentials, we think, in the new fortunes which we are seeking. Our numbers are gaining numerical strength in localities whose past record has contained and "opportunity" plank, and whose future records will be almost as dependent upon our internal virtues as they will be upon the evils of our enemies.
It must not be that we shall split asunder intra-racial democracy. Let us look into the mirror of past events and highly resolve to present a clean, fearless front, the perfection of which will be disconcerting to those who, by their past actions, have seemingly misled themselves to believe that there is no God—no justice—naught but SELF.

Engineer Involved In Townsend Death
Dover, Del., July 21.—(A. N. P.): It was the fate of Charles Cummins, an engineer, to become involved in the death of Jacek Townsend, in a motor mishap near Smyrna this morning and he was held under $2,000 bail on a formal charge of manslaughter. This morning Cumming was driving up the dePont Boulevard when his car struck a machine in which townsend and his wife were riding. Badly hurt, Townsend was taken in Cummins' car and started for Smyrna for medical aid. Soon afterward, Cummins' car hit another machine and Townsend was again injured, this time fatally. Finally he reached the Milford Emergency Hospital, where he died soon after his admission.
Men of influence have taken interest in the case and the splendid record of Tribbett, his work in helping the present administration to be power that it is and his large family will be brought to bear before Mayor King.
lines, have you ever stopped to realize that next to the steward of the dining car, the "Eats" staff was composed principally of brethren, to whom the preparation and serving of food is a science, aided and abetted by a sort of a second nature? These railway employees least thought of, perhaps, are among the principal operatives which guide the discretions of the hungry traveling public. What pride the railroad magnates take in advertising their dining car cuisines! And what chef or waiter would jeopardize a healthy tip by producing anything less than a one hundred per cent creed or efficiency.
Here, though, are some facts concerning a spring month's business on the diners and, at the station restaurants of Class 1 steam roads of the United States, largely manned, as we said above, by the "brethren."
One thousand four hundred and fifty-eight chefs and first class cooks, and 2, 624 second and third cooks prepared savory dishes which 6,099 waiters carried safely on board rocking and reeling trains to hungry travelers. It mattered not whether it was table d'hote or a la carte, they delivered the goods and received, perhaps a generous tip.
As wages for these services, the chefs and first cooks were paid $199,201; the second and third cooks received a total of $250,585; and the waiters signed payrolls aggregating $393,883. Last, but not least, however, numerically speaking, this faithful corps of "comforters" increasing during the month approximately one half of one per cent. This is encouraging; and it would be even more encouraging if this traveling public and the railroad magnates would increase commensurately in their degree of appreciation for this capable army of railroad employees, who labor long, between cities far apart, away from their families and friends, in protecting the health of the traveler. Their operations are delicate ones, surcharged with jeopardy and calling for special skill. They deserve all they receive and then, some more
"Arkansas has ratified the Federal child labor amendment, being the first state to do so; Georgia has rejected it, being the first state to do that. Their action invites comparison," remarks the Fairmont, W. Va., Times.
"Arkansas, according to the last census, had 18.5 per cent of her children between 10 and 15 gainfully employed. Georgia had 20.8 per cent so employed. Both are near the top of the list of States, making large use of child labor. Their protest practices are not widely different. Why, then the diametrical difference in their attitude toward the child labor amendment?
"Mainly, it appears because Georgia puts more emphasis on State Rights. That is a stranger tradition in Georgia than in Arkansas. It does not seem credible that Arkansas thinks more of its children than Georgia to uphold a traditional theory of State government, resenting 'Federal Interference.' A time will come, however, when Georgia along with other like-minded states, will rejoice that her own children are liberated from blighting toll."

Following the morning session of the league, the parade will start at noon and proceed to the American Giants baseball park. The program as arranged by Mr. Young will be a 50 yard dash for girls; 100 yard dash for boys over 18 years old; 220 yard dash for boys and girls and half mile run.

Heavy Hauling Concern Top-Notch Exhibit Of Negro Business Capacity
The very immensity of our country, further handicapped by the lack of sufficiently developed reading instinct, has very often been responsible for some of the pessimism that has prevailed as to the actual progress of our group in the business world. The A. N. P., with its staff has minimized the handicap of distance with its nationwide service that matches the size of our nation. Also we are rapidly becoming a reading public. Thus the following prize exhibit is yours. Immediate respect is established for any business institution that can command a whole page of advertising space in any paper. When the paper selected is the largest Sunday or daily publication in a large city, admiration is evoked; and, when the advertiser whose business is of such calibre as a Negro concern, well, we have the substantial foundation of a race future and the just cause for a little hilarity amid the deliberations of a Silver jubilee of our National Negro Business League. Now to the big facts: The Sun, July 13 issue of the Ohio State Journal of Columbus, Ohio, bore on page ten a full page display advertisement of the C. W. Bryant company, an engineering and transfer concern of that city that engages in heavy hauling, erection, moving and storing. The picture that tops the page portrays adforce at working placing a 49 1-2 ton Girder in its position many feet high on the new structure they are erecting for the Columbian Building and Loan company, one of the big financial institutions (white) of that city. It is but one of a number of such heavy pieces that enter into the modern structure.
This photographic reproduction is flanked with six pictures of the executives of the company, each of which proclaims the subjects to be genuinely of the Afro-American.

Bryant, the assistant manager; H. C. Bryant, vice president and general manager and W. M. Farrar, a foreman. The names of the other foremen listed are in two groups. The first being those of more than 20 years service with the company. They are besides Farrar, Robert Arrington, Joseph Smith, J. H. Taylor; and the others Henry Lynch, Arthur Mitchell, Wheeler Preston and Charles Harris.
Nor is the job pictured the only big undertaking successfully concluded by this enterprising concern that has gone into the general business market and held its own without regard to color, prejudice or any of the other features of every day business life. They have moved a city school, hauled the material and erected a high school, the girders for which weighed 38 tons; erected a water softener tank for the Toledo and Ohio Central R. R. that weighed 150 tons; built the Brown Steel company's new plant for whom they dismantled and reerected four immense cranes; in fact during the past thirty years they have erected stacks, tanks, and manufacturing buildings all over Ohio. The C. W. Bryant company is a remarkable exhibit of the Negro ability to hold its own in a field that requires engineering skill, specialized training, business acumen, real financial responsibility, and a knowledge of the laws of construction, liabilities, restrictions, and much other detailed information. The field of construction is a big one, in the units of consideration, and its possibilities. Columbus certainly presents the world with an object lesson in an institution that was painstaking built with thirty years of actual experience not conversation or speeches.
Trustees have purchased Stubbs property at a cost of ten thousand dollars for that purpose. The site is one of the most beautiful in the State for school purposes and the erection of the building will soon begin. The patrons of the school are highly elated at the action of the boards and are congratulating their committee upon their success. *Mr. Charlie Stewart spent the week-end in Norfolk. *Mrs. Vina Staten spent Sunday in town as the guest of friends.

Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no call.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

An increase of 6.6 per cent in
the number of milk cows two years
old and over on Virginia farms
during the year ending June 1,
1924 is indicated by the milk cow
survey made by the rural mail car-
riers for the United States De-
partment. In 1920 the Census re-
ported that there were 418,000
milk cows on Virginia farms, and
the estimate of the Department of
Agriculture showed an annual in-
crease of 1 pet cent up to January
1, 1924. In light of this survey
‘the increase Was greater than ¢s-
esate and the number of cows
on farms is now much larger than
when the Census was taken in
1920.
This is the first survey relating
to milk cows which has been made
by rural carriers, so similar com-
parisons for previous years are
not available.
According to the survey the num-
ber of heifers between 1 and 2
years old was 23.4 per cent of the
number of cows, and the number
of heifer calves under 1 year was
16-7 per cent of the number of
cows.
The Census of 1920, which was
taken on January 1, showed: 16.7
per cent as many heifers between
1 and 2 years old as cows, while
the present survey shows 23.4 per
cent., which would indicate a ten-
deney to inerease the herds dur-
ing the coming year more rapidly
than was the case four years ayo.
‘The difference in the time of the
two enumerations may account for
some of the increase in the pro-
portion of heifers, Subsequent
surveys, however, will throw addi-
tional light on this question.
The number of milk cows in the
United States also shows an in-
crease of G per cent during the
year ending June 7, 1924.
The next milk cow ‘survey will
be made as of December 1, 1924.
Cotton Report
The July forecast for the Vir-
winia cotton crop based upon the
condition of 54 on July 16 is 21
bales, aceording to the Virginia
Crop Reporting (Service. Last
year the State Produced 50,000
bales which is the largest crop
ever produced in the history of
the State.
‘There has been considerable de-
cline in condition since since the
first of the month owing to the un-
favorable conditions, Rains were
frequent so it was impossible to
cultivate properly, and fields be-
vame quite grassy. The plants are
small and stunted, and in some cas-
es are suffering from root rot.
Thus far very few squares have
been formed. Many- correspon
dents remarked that the prospects
are the poorest that they have ev-
vr seen, Owing to the lateness of
the crop many growers fear that
an early frost will cause consid-
erable damage. In a few sections,
especially on well drained soil, the
crop is looking fairly well; but as
a general rule the condition is
unusually bad.
‘The July 16 forecast for the en-
tire country was 11,934,000 bules
compared with 10,128,000 bales for
last year. The forecast for the
United States crop is slightly less
than last month, owing to the de-
cline in the condition of the crop
if some of the important states,
such as; North Carolina, South
Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisi-
ana .

FROM THE HEART OF A LITTLE GIRL :
(By Annie Denman) |
Daddy, if you know we're hungry, Mamma just can't make the living,
Know that we are very poor. She is wearing out, she said;
It must break your heart in heaven I shall have to miss some schooling
"Cause you never did insure. For the sake of daily bread.
Mamma wonders why you didn’t When she's gone I guess they'll take me
Save the dimes you threw away; To a place of charity
But you felt too strong and healthy To be clothed and fed; but Daddy,
For insurance, people say. {t can ne'er be home to me.
You were taken without warning, Mary’s daddy left insurance,
Leaving us to fight alone; And their home will still be theirs.
You'd have taken out insurance, They're not hungry. Sometimes Mary
Daddy, if you'd only known. Gives me cast-off clother she wears.
‘Twastn’t that you didn’t iove us, hey don’t have to take in sewing,
1 recall how dear you were; Mary’s mamma doesn’t cry,
i But your little girl must suffer For her daddy left insurance,
| Cause you failed to save for her. But you didn’t daddy——why ? |

Convention
(Continued from Page Six) which was, upon the request of President Lee, told in an interesting way, by Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D., Chairman of the Trustee Board of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Dr. Galvin also spoke in complimentary terms of Dr. R. C. Woods, President of the school, who is giving a life of service to God and humanity.
Thursday evening at eight o'clock the Missionary Sermon to the Convention was preached by Rev. J. C. Diamond, of the First Baptist Church of Berkley. The text selected for this great sermon will be found Rom. 10:13, 14, and the theme used was, "Links in Redemption's Chain." This was indeed a wonderful sermon and struck a responsive chord in many hearts that were present as was evidenced by those who sanctioned with "Amen." At this session beautiful music was rendered by the Zion Baptist Church choir of Newport News.
Dr. L. W. R. Johnson, who is easily in a class by himself on the to the Convention two very able knowledge of the Bible, brought addresses upon the subjects: "Work and Play in the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U.," and "Modern Sunday School Methods."

The race, according to its opportunities made a good showing in the Olympic games in France. We have so many splendid tennis players that it should be a matter of surprise that we had no entry in the Olympic games. Next year we should have. Wherever there is a test of brain and brawn and character and skill we should have our representatives.
We can hardly think of Tuskegee Institute with Mr. Warren A. Logan no longer treasurer. He has been retired. He grew up with the Tuskegee work and was as much a part of it as Dr. Washington. Withal, Warren Logan is one of the most efficient and dependable men the Afro-American people have produced. He is a splendid character, and he has rendered the race a service it will hardly ever fully know and appreciate.
The National Council for Preventing War launched a Nation-wide campaign on July 26-27, the tenth anniversary of the outbreak of the Word War, for the purpose of "showing America's desire to co-operate with the rest of the world." The campaign for "world cooperation" began at the same time. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE believes that the United States cannot isolate itself from the world and that it should take its proper place as a World Power and do its part in helping to shape the destinies of mankind for better and not for worse.
One Hundred Per Cent Thrifty
That the school savings system installed in this city in April 1923 has been a success from the start is evidenced by the $72,000 now on deposit in the two Norfolk banks, depositories for the school funds, to the credit of 21,000 white and colored children. The percentage of deposits based on attendance for the colored children is 100 and for the white it is 97, both of which are commendable records.
School savings systems have not been in existence long enough for anyone to measure the result they may have upon the mature generation, but they are predicted upon the truism in the proverb, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." To train the youth in the ways of thrift is the object sought thru the school banking system; and even the many of the boys and girls may depart from the ways of their youth when grown, it is right and proper that we give them the benefit of the training and hope for the best.
Our Real Estate Holdings
It is much to the credit of Norfolk's colored population that in the State auditor's report for the year 1923 it stands out as the wealthiest group of Negroes of any city in Virginia.
Certainly we can derive hope and encouragement from the steady progress we have made in the acquisition of worldly goods, reflecting itself in taxable real estate values of more than four million dollars; but in regard to gaining wealth the road still ahead of us is such a lengthy one that we can afford to pause but a minute, with thanks for the past, while we concentrate on greater progress for the future.
Our per capita wealth here compares very favorably with that of the total area of the United States, but it requires no reference to any statistical table for us to see surrounding the representative element of our group the responsibility of battling against thriftlessness, indolence and improvidence among the masses to the end that our aggregate wealth may not only be doubled, but that the individuals may enjoy the freer, fuller and larger life that economic independence brings.
Yes, we take a just pride in the progress made by Norfolk's colored citizens in the matter of acquiring property, but at the same time we refuse to be lured into a self-complacency as long as we see at our very doors daily the frightful extravagance of our people that could and should be curtailed and the fruits thereof adding a few millions more to the sum total of our wealth and economic standing.
Eastern Shore Farmers' Plight In whatever line of business one may engage there are exigencies to be met, risks involved, uncontrollable circumstances and the inexorable law of supply and demand to be reckoned with. But the plight of Eastern Shore farmers, who with three-fourths of their potato crop unmarketed, have witnessed a "bottom drop" in the market price is one that draws a deal of public sympathy, and almost kindles public indignation, too, when it is realized that the price per pound on this staple commodity to the consumer has not reached sub-normal levels.
And there is another phase to this shore situation that makes it of particular interest to business in this city. Annually crop gathering around Cape Charles affords a source of increased income to hundreds of families here, who gleefully welcome this time of the year with its opportunity for the women and children to earn those extra dollars so much needed in the home. But this season the farmers, driven to desperation by the low prices prevailing on the Northern markets, have threatened to allow the potatoes to rot in the ground. Should they be forced to carry out this threat, a million dollars will be lost to the Tidewater section, thousands of which would have found their way into Norfolk and its trade channels.
The situation is one that concerns the banker, the baker and the candle-stick maker as well as the farmer.
Trend of the Negro Vote
There is a decided trend of the Negro vote away from the Republican party, particularly noticeable in the North and West, where the race vote is heaviest. Tammany Hall, in New York, has always had a large colored following, and one of the unusual features of the recent Democratic Convention was that a Negro delegate—a high class man in the person of Dr. Collins—sat with the New York delegation and voted, until the voting ended, for Governor Al Smith. The Democrats of Chicago have nominated a colored man for Congress and there are many other conspicuous indications that the party is in a very receptive attitude toward the wavering Negro vote—in the North and West.
Not as much can be said of the South, where the Democratic party appears to be still afflicted with a lot of old memories associated with events that transpired fifty and sixty years ago.
Then the Democratic primary system in the South is a piece of party machinery that will have to be modified before Negroes who are anxious to vote for their Southern friends can realize their aspirations along those lines. At the present time a Negro cannot be a Democrat in many Southern States, Virginia included, on the day of the primary, but he is at perfect liberty to go to the polls on general election day and vote the Democratic ticket. That is an anomaly which will have to be remedied before the Negro can do much in the way of intelligently dividing his vote in the South.
Five Christian Principles Without Works No Good
We are all interested in "world reconsecration to the principles of Christianity, as the one and only solution for national, international and inter-racial ills," for which Rev Peter Ainslie, a white man and brother, insisted as necessary before the All-Christian Endavor Society convention in Richmond, and we may be "standing in the gateway of a new civilization, and there are five principles that should take root in our conviction, if we of this day are to make any contribution of worth to this civilization."
We are unable, however, to see that the world was ever consecrated to the "principles of Christianity." It has had an upward tendency in that direction, but it reached its zenith in the World War when all the races of the earth were called upon by the Entente Allies to assist in crushing the militaristic aspirations of the Central Allies, led by Germany, to crush out the freedom and independence of the other Nations and peoples, and Christianity began to decline when, in settling the questions growing out of the war, the Allies denied "racial equality" to the race groups that helped win the war as represented in the claim and contention of the Japanese. That was the test, as all of the Christian Nations have rule over many Africans and Asiatics and Islanders, who were vitually affected by the denial, and who have been growing more discontented all over the world since the denial was made a fact, and the end is not yet.
Dr. Ainslie's five principles, as published in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of July 9, are basis enough. They are just the principles upon which Christianity has gone astray during the past two thousand years, and in which the World War was a test of the Nations, and the decision of the Allies in denying "racial equality," Christian brotherhood, was the answer to the test. In short, the Christian Nations were weighed in the balance at Versailles and found wanting. That is a regrettable con-
clusion, but it is based on truth. Christian dogma, racial brotherhood, economic justice and a divided Church, with an international court of justice, are just the five principles upon which the Christian Nations have gone astray. It will require the new civilization, Dr. Ainslie thinks "we are standing in the gateway of" to fetch them back to the straight and narrow path. Is that possible? There is nothing in the policy of the Christian Nations that shows a change of heart since the World War. Indeed, drawing race lines, hatred on account of religious beliefs, economic greed and the exploitation of the lands and labor of non-Christian peoples, have grown stronger and more pronounced as Christian policies since the World War than they were before, while the rupacity of greed and the insolent display of possession provoke the impoverished millions everywhere to envy and wrath.
Nominees Bigger Than Their Parties
It is generally conceded that Mr. Coolidge sets a new high standard for the Republican party. His qualities are such that the party managers appear to be perfectly satisfied to go before the American people relying solely upon the character and record of the president. All groups are willing to trust the nominee of the Republican party. Not because of what the party stands for, but for what they believe the nominee stands for.
It is apparent also that Mr. John W. Davis looms in personal ideals far above the Democratic party in practice. In a statement immediately after his nomination Mr. Davis is quoted as having said:
"We are a national party and it must be, I believe, because we profess a national creed. The great principles of the Democratic party, honesty in government, that public office is a public trust, equal rights to all men and special privileges to none, fair and equal taxation, an open door to opportunity to the humblest citizen in all the land, liberty at home and courage and helpfulness abroad—these principles are as dear to the East as to the West and revered by the North and by the South."
It is perfectly plain that the Democratic party in action has ruthlessly trampled upon most of the lofty principles expressed by Mr. Davis, whenever it has suited its convenience to do so. In theory, the Democratic party may stand for everything Mr. Davis so eloquently declared for, but in practice—that is quite another thing.
It remains yet to be seen whether America is prepared for the true democracy of Roosevelt. Wilson, Coolidge and Davis.
The Goal of Men
From the Indianapolis Ledger.
Every man works toward some goal. Individual initiative is the mainspring of human progress. In the lauded Utopias, the Communistic Edens, proposed by dreaming, or demented social reformers, all men are classed according to a certain pattern. The community, the state, the council become the parental guide and director of all energy and effort. These nerveless schemes decry individual aspiration and ambition. They would reduce the social order to an artificial mechanism in which the individual becomes a colorless element in the crucible of life.
To illustrate: In our present system men struggle and strive all their days to attain to the great goal of their dreams. The humblest may aspire to and win to the loftiest pinnacles, of supremacy in art, industry, business. Legitimate reward invites to employment of brain and physical energy. The man who dreams worthy dreams, who works hard and persists, has the chance to gain his heart's desire—a home, high position, the guerdon of success in any field. And strong men do win these things, and they deserve their employment when won. Any rule which halts ability, efficiency, genius, aspiration, ambition, individual initiative, holding men to the level of the idle, the inefficient, the incapable, is a rule defiant of the laws of existence and progress. There is but one way, and it is the way marked out by those who long ago learned that humanity's only desirable goals are to be won through work and persistence, by those worthy to enjoy their blessings.
Forming New Political Lines
From the Historic Review
Many an old and preconceived idea of the hostility of the Democratic party at the Negro's political advancement will be broken should the Negro whom the Democrats of Cook county, Illinois, have nominated for Congress win out in the Fall election. Brennan, the Democratic boss of Chicago, is but doing what Murphy, the late boss of New York, was the pioneer in doing, only Brennan is making a more daring and spectacular attempt to secure the co-operation of our colored citizens in a game in which Brennan is Past-Master. We have for many years contended that Democratic hostility to Negroes was not because they were Negroes, but because of their unreasoning hostility to the Democratic party. The breaking of the old lines which started in New York and is now to be improved upon in Chicago, will be taken up in many other localities where large numbers of Negroes reside, and finally, opposing factions in the heart of the Southland will be seeking his cooperation.
REVIEW And COMMENT
REVIEW And COMMENT
BY WILLIAM BRITTON
THE RIGHT STAND
The Citizens' Republican Club of Philadelphia, the Strongest and most compact political organization of its kind, by a vote of 79 to 12 tabled a motion to endorse the Republican nominee for President and Vice President. But as the Philadelphia Tribune tells us this does not prove that the club refuses to endorse Coolidge and Dawes, but it has a tendency to show that the Republican party is no longer a thing to be set apart and worshipped.
And the Citizens' Club gives sound cause for considering it inadvisable to endorse the Republican nominees at this time when it reasons that it would be the better policy to wait and ascertain just what attitude the President will adopt toward the colored American and those things directly affecting the lives of twelve million citizens.
That was a courageous stand taken by the club. Frankness compels those whose thinking has not been distorted by blind Republican worship to admit that President Coolidge's attitude concerning those things that so vitally affect us as a group of Americans of color is but little known. We have confidence in his courage, ability and integrity, but we have felt the same way about every Republican nominee for the past fifty years. Or at least, we have beguiled ourselves into believing we felt that way.
The Citizens' Club logically reasons that there will be plenty of time to endorse Coolidge and Dawes after the President delivers his acceptance speech and his attitude is known on those things uppermost in the minds of the race.
A. POOR COMPARISON
A POOR COMPARISON
One of our race journals attempts to whitewash the Republican party clean of Klan domination and influence and strives to show that the Democratic party alone is thus cursed. And every person of ordinary intelligence who followed events at the recent national conventions of the two major parties is forced to laugh at this attempt.
The Democrats certainly made a far more impressive showing in dealing with the klan issue than the Republicans, and if either party has gained anything by its recent attitude on this issue, it certainly is the Democratic party.
Any journal, campaigner or other agency that attempts to further the Republican cause thru the injection of the klan issue, unless the President declares himself unequivocally on this point in his acceptance speech, will fail miserably.
OPPORTUNITIES IN BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES IN BUSINES
A few weeks more and the grand march back to school, college and universities will be on. For thousands of students this must be their deciding year. What shall be their life's vocation? is the great question. I dare say the majority of our young men in the high schools and the junior classes of colleges have their minds set on a profession.
Will some of them turn to business? There is no denying the fact that the day for Negro business men has dawned. The pioneers have blazed the trail. The need today is for trained and educated volunteers who will come on the field and put their knowledge to the practical test. There is scarcely a going Negro business enterprise in the country that couldn't use a few educated young men or women who would be willing to start at the bottom and work up.
Young men, consider that business and industry are the basis on which the economic solidarity of all races are built. The field is ripe for hard and intelligent workers.
A MERITED HONOR
That was a signal honor the King of England bestowed upon Dr. S. G. Jones by commanding him to appear before His Majesty in recognition of distinguished service rendered by the doctor in checking an
epidemic in the West Indies. And this reminds us that the world is our field. American Negroes have not been much inclined toward exploration service in foreign lands. This has been probably due to the fact that the need for missionary work in our own country among our own people has been ever so pressing. But we should not lose sight of the great possibilities a contact with foreigners offers.
SELF HELP EDUC
By R. R. Wright, Jr. Ph. D.
Booker T. Washington laid great stress upon self-help in his educational propaganda. No race can raise another. To reach the goal of excellence everyone must help itself upward. As with an individual so with a race. The Negro
In the Latin American countries, where color prejudice is but little known, there exist wonderful commercial opportunities for American Negroes, possessed of grit, intelligence and a working knowledge of the native language. But it is necessary for those who go into this field to leave home that superiority complex if they are to fall into the good graces of the natives, a thing so vital to success. Yes, Dr. Jones has rendered honorable service which has gained for him world recognition. The world is our field and we should cultivate it from one end to the other.
Some Hints For Swimmers
There's been a country wide program on advising swimmers. The purpose was to try to check so many swimming fatalities.
SELF HELP IN RACE EDUCATION
By R. K. Wright, Jr. Ph. D.
Booker T. Washington laid great stress upon self-help in his educational propaganda. No race can raise another. To reach the goal of excellence everyone must help itself upward. As with an individual, so with a race. The Negro race is no exception. Its biggest strides have been those made by its own help. Philanthropy has done much; our white friends have stood by loyally. But they would be disappointed if after all their help the Negro was not learning to carry his own load.
When we look into the subject of how the Negro has helped and is helping himself in education, in business, in church, in industry, etc., we find a great deal of ground for optimism as to the future. Indeed we find much surprise. As far back as 1798 a school was opened in Philadelphia in Bethel A. M. E Church to help improve the intellectual status of the few colored people then inhabiting that city. As far back as 1841 a group of Negro ministers of the African Methodist Church of Ohio, laic plans to start "a manual labor school" for poor colored boys. In most of the large centers of the North long before the Civil War private schools were held by colored people for their own. Sarah Douglass taught for many years in Philadelphia and had a famous private school. In fact in places where prejudice kept colored children out of the public schools, the colored teachers took much of the burden of education of their race in their own private schools. Even in the South this was done in spots. One of the most famous of the Negro private school teachers was Daniel A. Payne, afterwards Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He operated a school in Charleston for many years, and is said to have had some white pupils. He was expelled from the state because of the law passed in the early thirties prohibiting Negroes from teaching school. This same Daniel A. Payne, however, was one of the founders of Wilberforce University in 1856, and when the white people had abandoned the work, he, as he said, without a dollar but only on faith, contracted to purchase the Wilberforce property "in the name of the Negro race and the A M E Church." This today is the oldest institution of the New World owned and operated by Negroes. It has a plant worth more than a million dollars; has about a thousand students, and stands second among all the colleges of the country in number of students and the value of its equipment.
The Negro Church took the lead in educational self help as in religious improvement. All over the country, Baptists, Methodists, and others have vied with their white brethren in doing something for the education of their race. The first in the field was the African Methodist Church. In 1863 it took over Wilberforce University in Ohio. This was before the Civil War was over, and before Negroes were really liberated. That same year it started church organizations in Georgia and South Carolina, and private schools soon sprang up. Wherever a church was started, soon after a school was opened. Hundreds of these schools were scattered over the South and many bright young men and women who had been educated in the North were imported to teach these schools. In 1880 an attempt was made to establish the first college at Columbia, S. C. It was named Allen University in honor of Richard Allen, the first Bishop of the African Methodist Church. It came as a protest of the colored people of South Carolina to the closing of South Carolina University against colored people. In 1884 Morris Brown University was started in Atlanta, Ga., named also for one of the Bishops of the African Methodist Church. In 1883 Edward Waters College was started in Jacksonville, Fla. In 1886 Kittrell College started in North Carolina. In 1877 Western University at Quindaro, Kan., was started first as a Presbyterian school, and later purchased and taken over by the African Methodist Church. In 1866 Shorter College at Little Rock, Ark., was started. In 1889 Payne University in Selma, Ala., was started. In 1881 Paul Quinn College was organized at Waco, Texas. In 1887 Campbell College at Jackson, Miss., was started. In 1890 Lampon College was organized at Delhi, La., under the name of Delhi School, and later moved to Alexandria, La., and the name changed to Lampton College. In 1885 Turner College was organized at Shelby-
Key Davis College was started at Tullahassee, Okla. These are the leading schools operated by the African Methodist denomination in the United States, though besides these are several smaller institutions, such as Payne Institute, Ceville, Tenn., and in 1917 Flipperral Park Industrial School, Flagler High School, etc. This denomination also maintains foreign mission schools in Haiti, Bordeaux, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and South Africa. In fact the largest school on the West Coast of Africa is operated by the African Methodia Church.
It is sometimes said that the schools run by colored people would be left to deteriorate. As in indication of the quality of the facilities of these schools, it might be stated that Wilberforce University has the only Negro Doctor of Philosophy from a German university as its president, Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, while on its faculty are graduates from Brown, Harvard, Columbia, Oberlin, Chicago, Ohio State University and other universities, and persons who have studied in Europe. Allen University has for its president, Dr. D. H. Sims, a graduate from Yale, Oberlin Divinity School, University of Chicago and also from the Georgia State College; and other members of the faculty from other corresponding schools. Morris Brown University has for its president Dr. John H. Lewis, a graduate of Yale and Chicago University.
To support these schools takes an enormous budget. The Bishops are now planning for a million dollar campaign for education, a large part of which will go to endowment. The raising of this endowment will be one of the great tests of how the Negroes invest in education. Up to the present no Negro institution supported by Negroes has gotten any large endowment. If the Bishops of the church succeed in arousing Negroes of the country, it will be a great example and inspiration for the race everywhere.
In my next article I will teach something of self help in education as illustrated by the Baptist and other Methodist institutions
ON TO PERSIA
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
(For A. N. P.)
A mob killed an American
over there. That was not be
tolerated. Our government
must have a thorough investigation.
Of course, mobs kill Americans in Georgia, but
that's different. We do not
need to investigate about
Georgia,—we already know about that. Then, too, we have some authority over Georgia, while we haven't a bit of authority over Persia, we could do something in Georgia; it is doubtful whether we can do a thing in Persia. Therefore, on to Persia. Something must be done there.
That was a "religious mob that killed one American in Persia. Those are thoroughly irreligious mobs that have killed 450 Americans in Georgia. Therefore, on to Persia! Nver mind Georgia. We must give Georgia a chance to teach Persia a little lesson. That American in Persia was violating the religious sentiments of the mob. But the Georgia mobs don't have any religious sentiments. Whereas and therefore, the Persian mob ought to be punished.
