RACE MAN HERO; SAVES LIFE OF BOSS Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 23—J. C. Council, excavating contractor of this city, was buried alive for nearly thirty minutes, one race man, was killed and another rescued from a living grave early on the morning of December 19 when a landslide on Glenwood avenue in front of the Methodist Orphanage caught the trio as they were installing a large drain pipe. The dead man's name was given as Moses Johnson. Mr. Council and Joe Perry were rescued after heroic efforts by the fire department, workmen and passing pedestrians. Were Just In Time Contractor Council was rescued after being buried under more than a foot of dirt and only after his breathing had almost stopped. He was carried to the hospital after having been given first aid treatment. A careful examination to ascertain injuries will be given. He complained of severe pains in the back, but was otherwise none the worse for his experience. One Found Under Tree The dead man was breathing when his head and face were cleared of dirt, but died shortly afterward. He was found directly under a tree which was carried into the excavation and, it is thought, died from internal injuries influenced by exhaustion. The cave-in occurred about 8:30 in the morning and not long after Mr. Council, Johnson and Perry entered the cut to adjust drain pipes being installed. Was No Warning Without warning the northern side of the cut gave away and the landslide carried a small tree with it down upon the three men. This tree caught Johnson directly in the back and is thought to have partially blocked the heavy impact of the slide from seriously injuring the others. Other work men were nearby, but not in the path of the landslide. One man yelled a warning but the men had no time to avoid the impending rush of dirt. Fire Fighters Called Workmen on the job grabbed shovels, modestrians were called to the rescue and firemen summoned to the scenes within a few minutes after the cave-in. For thirty minutes shovels made record time in excavating dirt over the location where the men were last seen. Doctors On Scene Mr. Council was the first to see the light of day as the earth rapidly cleared away and then Joe Perry was able to blink his eyes and look into the face of his rescuers. Moses Johnson was the last to be found, but when it was ascertained that he was dead, the rescuers directed their attention to further freeing Council and Perry. As soon as the contractors head and face were free of dirt, Drs. Dewar and Freeman were on the scene. Dr. Dewar immediately gave the contractor a hypodemic. This brought relief and then Council was able to talk. "Boys," take your time now and I'll soon be out of this hole," said the contractor, as he directed nearby, rescuers in their work. "I'm alright but felt my breath getting shorter and shorter just before you found me," he told his friends. Later, after being placed in an ambulance for the trip to the hospital, he shouted to the crowd a round: "I thank you all." Race Worker Is Hero Joe Perry, the first of the buried men to be liberated, won the plaudits of the crowd when he grabbed his shovel and took a hand in liberating (Continued on Page Six) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR SAMUEL SMITH, 15-YEAR OLD YOUTH TAKEN FROM HOSPITAL AND HANGED Duel Between Boy and White Merchant Cause of Trouble. Nashville Citizens Make Strong Protest and Offer Big Reward for Capture of Lynchers (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 22—One of the most brutal lynchings ever committed in this country and the first in Nashville during the past thirty years, occurred here when Samuel Smith, a 15-year-old colored youth, was taken from a hospital, where he was lying wounded from the gun of the man it is claimed he shot, when he was intercepted in the roadway a short distance from the man's store, by a masked mob of six or seven white men, who carried him in an automobile to a point about twelve miles from the city, near the scene of where he was shot, stripped, maimed and hanged.

The killing was witnessed by Robert Mitchell, who told the police that he was standing on the west side of Wide street where the stabbing occurred when he saw two women engaged in a brawl. It is alleged that the Bolling woman grappled with the other, then fell to the sidewalk. The murderer fled. Miss Bolling was dead when the police reached the scene. It is said that the murdered woman lived at 1118 Wide street and the crime was committed on the sidewalk just a few doors from her home. PLAN TO COORDINATE WELFARE AGENCIES Following a series of conferences a committee was formed Tuesday night whose purpose it is to work out a plan for co-ordinating the various welfare organizations in the city, including Community Center, Colored United Charities and others. The committee was named at a conference held in the directors room of Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, William M. Rich, presiding, and consists of the following persons: S. F. Coppage, R. J. Matthews, O. J. Alen, Mrs. Mary E. Gordon, Miss Constance Fuller, C. C. Dogan, Miss W. I. Bagnall, J. R. Dungoe and E. D. Burke. Much discussion, some of it heated and acrimonous, preceded appointment of the committee. Community Center, which has become the storm center among local welfare organizations, was there fighting for its life, and was the object of most of the discussion. The conference passed a resolution, perfunctory, endorsing the idea of maintaining a Community Center, but gave no endorsement to the present organization. It was announced that progress was being made toward working out a plan for reorganizing the Colored United Charities as the accredited and only such organization in the city for work among colored, and for turning over to it funds now held by White United Charities for Colored work. Strong opposition to the operation of a free health clinic as a department of Community Service work was voiced by several physicians who took the position that any attempt at such a health work on the part of the city would be strongly opposed by colored medical group. The colored physicians are ready, and willing to co-operate with a race physician to the poor, appointed by and working directly under the health department, it developed during the discussion. --- ON PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR ERY unished TH, 15-YEAR TAKEN FROM AND HANGED and White Merchant Nashville Citizens Make Offer Big Reward for One of the most brutal lynch-entry and the first in Nashville, occurred here when Samuel youth, was taken from a housed from the gun of the man was intercepted in the roadway's store, by a masked mob of carried him in an automobile from the city, near the scene, maimed and hanged. According to the story as told by Sheriff Briley, Ike Eastwood, a groceryman at Nolensville, a suburb of the city, was shot by the boy when he attempted to place him under arrest after meeting him in the road, after he had caught the boy's uncle in his automobile garage, apparently looking for some tool with which to repair his car which had stalled on the road. The boy's uncle had submitted to the arrest of the groceryman without resistance. The youth, apparently, was traveling with his uncle, James Smith, at night, in an automobile, and, when their car stalled in the road. Not having the necessary tools with which to make the repairs, the elder Smith left the car in search of tools. Coming to the garage of Ike Eastwood he entered, perhaps, with the intention of borrowing the necessary instruments with which to do the work. Eastwood, however, heard the noise in his garage, grabbed his gun and went in search of its invader. He found Smith in the garage, placed him under arrest with the threat that he was going to take him to jail. On walking up the road with his prisoner, he met the man's nephew, who evidently thought some harm had come to his uncle, and was going in search for him. Upon their meeting both the boy and merchant opened fire with a result that both were wounded. The merchant was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital for treatment, while the boy, who was found in the nearby woods next morning by the sheriff, suffering terribly from his wounds and almost unconscious, was taken to the General Hospital, where he was chained to a cot, which was horrible enough in itself, deserted by officers of the law and left at the mercy of an infuriated, revenge-seeking, blood-thirsty hand of murderers. The boy's uncle, James Smith, since the trouble has been incarcerated in the county jail. All of the details regarding the trouble, so far made public, have been given by Ike Eastwood and his relatives. No statement has been published which was made by either the murdered boy or his uncle who is now in jail. The Nurse's Story Miss Amy Weagle, nurse in charge of the colored ward of the hospital from which the colored boy was unchained and brutally murdered, stated that she did all she could in her efforts to deter the mob from its dastardly outrage, that she refused at first to identify the prisoner hiding the chains with which he was attached to the bed with her uniform. She stated that the mob ordered the boy to leave the bed, that he protested that he was unable to move on account of his wound. The masked band, then drew their guns and threatened to kill in the hospital. They finally decided to take the boy out of the hospital and hang him near the scene of his alleged crime. The Custodian's Story According to the story of Harry Hardeman, custodian at the hospital, about six or seven men entered the hospital and covered him with guns. He was ordered not to move. The men cut the telephone wires and left two of the party to guard him, while the rest went into the colored ward to secure the boy for lynching. Hardeman said that he thought when the men entered the wore there to rob the hospital and as he offered them the payroll they said "We don't want money we (Continued on Page Six). --- 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers EMANCIPATION ASSOCIATION HOLDS MEET B.

Atty. Wm. Thomas was the master of ceremonies and Police Justice R. B. Spindle, the principal speaker of the evening. Among the preliminaries of the meeting were, selections rendered by the church choir, a solo and a paper on opportunity by Lawyer Thomas. Mr. George Wilson, president of the Emancipation Association gave a few remarks and they are summed up as follows, "In the celebration of our emancipation from the American slavery, we should lend our efforts in making it a sincere observance." He urged those present to do all within their powers in helping to carry out the program planned and told his listeners why they should be proud of the day in which they assembled together in gratitude. Mr. Walter Smith also gave a short talk which centered on the programs got out by the organization. Justice Spindle was introduced by the master of ceremonies with fitting remarks. He extended his greetings to the members of the association and others in the audience and wished them God-speed. His remarks dwelt on law and order and in part were: "I think it is commendable to participate in patriotic celebrations and the day is a fitting occasion to assemble to pay tribute to those who have gone before us." He also said, "Now that you have liberty, you have responsibility." He went on to show, since we have liberty it is left with us to make of it what we would have it to be. Then, Justice Spindle went on to stress law and order and he stated: "The mass of the people must get behind any law to put it over. Unless law and order are maintained there can be no liberty." Rev. Madison spoke briefly and corroborated the statements made by the Police Justice. Methodists Confer Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 23.—(A. N.

JOHNSON It seems to be a very funny thing that the newspapers have to continually use their editorial space to call the attention of folks who willfully jay walk. It has been a common thing to pick up the papers and see an editorial headed, "Cross at Crossings" and the article following goes on to stress the points on the disadvantage of not heeding such advice. People who are unmindful of this advice and take their lives in their own hands and cross the streets at any point that seems convenient to them merely displays the fact that they are fit cases for the insane asylum. ```markdown ``` N. 90 Pres day ices hon D. J. M of the lies, Pres After Run, eral War his co main ident dent UNDERTAKERS & EMBALMERS Wish to extend to all their many friends Merry Greetings. Our Motto is: "Service and Low Prices." PHONES: 21296 and 37011 827 OLNEY ROAD Under Redmen's Hall It has been said a number of times that, we profit a great deal by the experiences of others, but it seems that the saying is a lot of hokum, because folks don't seem to profit one iota, when a flivver bumps someone. An editorial in a local paper says, "Do not risk your life and interfere with the tide of vehicles and strett cars by darting across between the intersections. Just take a walk down town some day and see how many people you can get a kick out of beating a lizzie to it or a street car. The swiftest does not always win the race. Some day there will be a tie and woe unto the unfortunate who is ruining a race with an auto or street car and the wild dash of both result into a tie. It not only ends your liberty and pursuit of happiness, but it also affects the mentality of the person who's operating the vehicle. At the Christmas season another appeal of "Cross at the Crossings" was published editorially, because at this time streets are jammed with a wild mob of pedestrians doing their holiday shopping. But these people never heeded it at all. It is only a miracle why more folks are not injured or killed than actually are. They owe it to the goodness of the vehicle drivers. for reckless auto drivers during the Christmas season. They owe it like to drive fast and are used to clean thoroughfares that are peopleless. There was a fellow who was used to driving fast as he wished, but when it came to the holiday season and the streets were jammed with a human mass, he was at a total loss. It worked on his nerves, because he couldn't do his stuff. The best idea for these determined fast and reckless drivers would be to adopt some device like wings to attack to autos. Then they could go as fast as they they liked and when they come upon a mob of shoppers, jaywalkers, or even a traffic cop, they could take the air. This plan would not only save the lives of many folk, but would enable the city to dispense with the services of the traffic cops. All they would have to do is, require every car to have these wings. By this means the people could then jaywalk as much as they pleased and the newspapers could stop writing editorials on "Cross at Crossings." Less than one-half of the corn crop in the Corn Belt States reached maturity before the first killing frost this year, according to reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture. Usually about 91 per cent of the crop reaches maturity by that time compared with 48 per cent this year. Poro System Hairdressing MME. FERGUSON Class is now open for instructions on easy terms.

Opposite St. Vincent's Hospital SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1924 President of Canton College Spoke To Hampton Workers On Growth of Nationalism Hampton, Va. Dec. 24—Dr. James M. Henry, president of the Canton Christian College, in his recent talk to the Hampton Institute workers and students, delivered in Ogden Hall, expressed his own deep interest and the deep, eager interest of many people in Chinna for Hampton. He assured his hearers that they would be surprised to know how well Hampton is known in China. Doctor Henry told of the great distances between the principal cities of China and the length of time it takes to travel between them. It takes ten days, for example, to travel from Peking, the capital, to Canton in Southern China. It takes two weeks to travel from Canton to Hankow, eight hundred miles nearer that Peking and the distance from Chicago to Hampton. Having been born in China, Doctor Henry could recall the amusement of the Southern Chinese when a northern province was taken by Japan. All this has changed during the last thirty years. Today there is a strong national feeling in this vastly populated country. In describing the political situation in China Doctor Henry asked his audience to picture, instead of three American parties, three political leaders, each in a different section of the country, with armed followers. He explained that this is the reason why China has not been able to have an election such as Americans have. On what was formerly a cemetery there stands the Canton Christian College with its thousand students. Doctor Henry said that Abraham Lincoln, General Armstrong, and Booker Washington are looking on with sympathy and understanding watching the progress of the colored race. He told the students that the problems of the colored youth are the same as those of the Chinese. The youth of a nation is its hope for the future. "As it takes faith to remove mountains so it will take faith to remove the difficulties of our people," said Doctor Henry, who, in closing his address, asked the students of Hampton Institute to keep Canton Christian College in their thoughts as those students in faraway China are doing for students at Hampton. SEGREGATION ON INCREASE Washington, D. C., Dec. 23—(P. N.S.)—In keeping with the growing manifestation of prejudice in Washington, Justice Hochling, of the District Supreme Court, has signed a temporary restraining order preventing Minnie E. Torry from selling her home at 40 Randolph Place, N. W., to a colored person. It was rumored that Mrs. Torry had indicated her desire to leave the neighborhood and that connection a story originated that she contemplated selling her property to a Negro which started no end of excitement among other white residents in the block. The order of the court is based on a complaint of the owners of five houses in the same block, who point out that the deed by which the title to the property was acquired by the defendant contained a covenant ';not to sell to a person of Negro blood under penalty of $2,000 to be loin on the property." The petitioners claim that the sale of the said property to a Negro will cause adjacent properties to depreciate in value. In fact it would effect the value of all property owned by whites in the Bloomingdale section. Thirty-two Africans Killed Instantly In Gold Mine Shaft Johannesburg, Africa, Dec. 23—(P. N. S.)—Thirty-two native gold miners were killed instantly Thursday when the elevator cage in which they were descending in the Rand Fountain gold mine fell 1,000 feet to the bottom of the shaft. The cage was completely demolished and the men mangled to almost a pulp, it is said. Former White House Messenger Laid to Rest Washington, D. C., Dec. 23—(P. N. S.)—Edgar F. Beckley, aged 90 years, confidential messenger to President Grant, was buried Tuesday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted from his late home in Twelfth street by the Rev. D. J. Francis Grimke. Mr. Beckley was in the employ of the Washington and Curtis families, and came to this city during President Lincoln's administration. After serving at the battle of Bull Run, he became orderly for General Grant. Following the Civil War he was given a position as his confidential messenger, and remained there to serve various presidents through the time of President Roosevelt.

When space will not permit or the subject Q. How large is the great Pyramid of Egypt? G. G. L. Cleveland, Ohio. A. It covers thirteen neres and is about 480 feet high. These figures hardly give you an idea of the real size, however. Better to use comparison. It is claimed that if the stone in the great pyramid were used to build a wall four feet high and two feet wide, there is enough to build a wall that would reach from New York City to Salt Lake City, Utah. That will give you some little idea of the immensity of this wonder of Egypt. Q. According to history does a mixture of Negro and white blood raise or lower the racial type? F. D. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. A. Raises it absolutely, and even our pseudo American scientists are beginning to try and adjust their prejudices to the facts. Babylon, Greece, and Rome, were all mixtures. And in fact it seems to be a truth that the African blood is the stronger of the two bloods and superior as to ethnic value. Q. Who was Ihu 'I' Nun, an African said to have founded a religion? N. T. R., Boston. Mass. A. Ihu 'I' Nun did not found a religion. Strictly speaking he developed the mystic side of Mohammedanism known as Sufism. He was an Egyptian or African Negro. Q. Is the wife of Rhinelander who is mentioned now, really a colored woman? W. P. J., Dayton, Ohio. A. From the press she evidently is. The writer does not know whether New York has a law or not determining how much Negro blood makes one a Negro but from what he has gathered from the daily papers it seems that the woman in the case has a fair chance of proving that she is white if she wants to be. Q. Who was Francisco de Miranda? T. L. K., Altoona, Pa. A. He was a Central Ameri- He was the father of Dr. Edwin P. Beckley, a prominent physician of this city, and Harry Beckley, former headquarters' detective. Natives Protest Annexation Capetown, South Africa, Dec. 23. —(A. N. P.)—Native protest against the annexation of Premier Herzog, Union of South Africa, have reached the point where they are viewed with much alarm. It is said that the premier has eyes on Dechuanaland, Bastoland and Southwest Africa. The first two prefer to live under British rule and in the last-named one of the largest native tribes, the Reboths, is reported on the verge of rebellion. Rosin and turpentine producers are adopting better methods of operation that will reduce waste, correct abuses in the industry and improve the quality of the products as a result of the naval stores demonstration work at rosin and turpentine stills throughout the South, according to reports coming to the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture. The bulk of the rosin and turpentine produced in this county is made at the smaller places where wasteful methods of operation and improper methods of handling have gradually grown up.

One of his greatest friends was Thomas Jefferson. His ideas were rather grand and startling and he had many Americans interested in his schemes. Nothing came of them, however. Q. What contribution has the Negro made to Christianity? Rev J. W. L. Norfolk Va. A. As to the real contributions by the Negro to Christianity we must consider chiefly the early Church fathers. They were for the most part, Africans, Tertullian, Origin, St. Augustine, and others contributed much to the dogma and liturgy. The so-called Coptic Church was very influential in contributing to early Christianity. Alexandria, in Egypt, eventually became the central point of Christianity previous to its establishment at Rome. Q. What were the chief African elements in the formation of the ancient Grecian civilization? A. F. K., Chicago, Ill. A. The chief elements were the Mycenean, the Argive and the Cretan. The Cretan came from the Isle of Crete, the halfway house between Greece and Africa. The Mycenean and Argive were both of African origin. Agamemnon, the leader of the Grecian hosts against Troy was King of Myceneae. Helen of Troy was an Argive. Q. Who was the "Fuzzy Wuzzy" of Kiplin's quest? B. G., Des Moines, Iowa. A. He was Osman Digman, native African dervish. He spread terror to the British soldiery and was a demon fighter. He lost one of his arms in battle and was finally captured and imprisoned by the British. He was freed only recently and is now making a pilgrimage to Mecca. He was in jail 22 years and is now 92 years old. 2 or 3 gallons of turpentine per charge, valued at $2 to $3 a charge are lost because of inadequate or faulty methods of handling. For a one-still plant this would amount to $6 to $9 a day and the loss would increase in proportion to the number of stills in operation. Overheating the still or improper straining will so affect the color of rosin as it olowers it two or three grades and as the color of rosin is a basis for its grading and price, the loss incurred may amount to $2 to $5 per charge, or a loss of $6 to $15 a day. The field work of the season just closed was carried on at individual stills where demonstrations were given adapted specifically to the still under consideration. MRS. JOSEPHINE KELLY DIES Suffolk, Va., Dec. 23.—Mrs. Josephine Kelly, aged 65 years, a respected colored resident, died suddenly Sunday after sustaining a second stroke of paralysis. She is survived by a son and daughter. Funeral services will be held at the home, 114 Popular street, Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, by the Rev J. A. Harrell. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MAJOR PORTION OF HAITIAN IMPORTS FROM THE U.S. (Continued from Page One) Cacao shipments showed a decline in volume, and with lower prices brought a smaller proportionate return, the monetary return being $139,340 as against $265,348 in 1923. Raw cotton, while showing a small falling off in quantity, brought a larger return on account of better prices, the figures being $2,668,628 and $1,828,102, respectively. The logwood market during a large part of the year was in a state of depression and shipments show a considerable falling off, from $498,628 to $335,066. Shipments of logwood extract, on the other hand, increased in value from $77,964 to $105,604, although falling off in volume. Imports show few striking changes, the item registering the greatest increase being wheat flour, from $2,250,600 to $2,930,187. This expansion in flour imports amounts to more than the difference in the value of imports between 1923 and 1924. This increase was caused in part by over-buying as there were considerable stocks on hand at the end of the fiscal year. Increases in foodstuffs items provide goods for immediate consumption and do not indicate any improvement in the economic position of an agricultural country, such as Haiti. Any it movement would be reflected in increased importations of iron and steel articles, machines and apparatus, construction materials, etc., and generally decreases were noted in these items, however, in no cases were the declines of particular significance. The United States held its leading position as a supplier of Haiti's requirements, furnishing goods to the value of $11,817,376, or $0.41 per cent of the total. Last year the share of the United States was almost exactly the same being $0.40 per cent. As in former pears France was the principal destination of Haït's exports, her purchases amounting to $9,369,923, or 66.10 per cent of the total. She increased her share from 60.38 per cent the year before, while the United States dropped from 13.55 per cent to 9.38 per cent, or from $1,976,572 to $1,329,251. Great Britian, Germany, Denmark, and Belgium accounted for most of the balance their percentage differing little from last year. Total revenue receipts for the fiscal year were $6,760,00. Expenditures amounted to $6,810,000, but this includes a considerable amount paid on debts for past years which were not strictly chargeable against current income. Actual revenues exceeded estimates by $1,040,000. Courier Adv. Manager Spends Christmas With His Parents Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 23—(P. N. S.)—T.

There is a rumor floating on the air that football, the grand old college sport will be robbed of some of its glow and glamor, if plans of one of the wise acres who have to do with framing of rules each year require to expectation. Some of the football mentors and considered others in their professions are alleging that the game is not what it should be and they intend suggesting changes, when their organization moves in New York in a short while and recommend that the forward pass be curbed. It can be well remembered by the old timers how the coming of the forward pass over a score of years ago, changed the entire method of play in the pigskin industry, but the contemplated mobilization of these football mentors who think and say that the pass is a menace to the game will give the sport a stiff one in the slats, if their curbing, curbing and restriction ideas are carried out. Some are for awarding only three points for a touchdown from a forward pass and eliminate the run by the receiver. They term the aerial method of advancing the ball a menace. Then, Fred Moore, member of the intercollegiate rules committee, comes along with this piece of "hokum," that the matter will receive consideration and the result of the 1924 games indicated that "some teams weaken in many departments have scored victories by forward passing." To our way of thinking, that was the losing team's hot dog and it is left to it to look it off. We agree with Coach Leslie Mann, backfield coach of Springfield College. He is against curtaining the use of the pass by offensive team. He said, "To curtail the use of the pass as an intensive weapon would rob the game of its most spectacular play, meet the public of many of the thrills now derived from watching a football contest and place the gridiron game back where it was before the aerial attack came into general adoption." We were under the impression that the game had long since emerged from that old chaotic state of barbarism where brute strength and brawn were the pre-requisites of a gridiron hero and had mounted for the realm where wit, science and speed ruled the day. We thought that each year found the rules committee finding and adopting things that would have tendency to make the game safer and better sport to indulge in. But if the forward pass is curtailed or curbed, we can see nothing as a direct result, but the placing of the game back where it used to be, which would mean that the old time mass formations would go, be resorted to that caused so many injuries and fatalities. He teams which have been beaten by squads weaker in other departments, but the pass, only shows the falacy in the losing teams coaching system. The rushing charging team would always have the advantage, whereas a lighter squad would have no possibilities of tallying. There is also a possibility of more no score ties as the result of robbing the game of the forward pass. The maxim is, "a good big man can always beat a good little man." The same is true with a good big team and a good little team, but the forward pass has paved the way for the good little team to have a chance with the good big team and where one is weak and the other strong, only makes for balance and in a great number of cases, relieves the game of the monotony of sixty minutes of line bucking. A team that was strong in many other phases of the game and lose under a forward pass attack, shows that the squad was weak on the defense in that department and was not up to the modern methods of football. WHO PAYS THE FIDDLER? It has been said, the man who pays the fiddler not only tells him when to change tunes but when to stop fiddling altogether. The fans are the ones who pay the price and we do not think that they are willing to be cheated out of the thrill of the forward pass. Since they pay the price, why not let them have their say about the affair. This could be done by a country-wide vote. No bunch of pigsin professors should say what kind of football the fans should see when they pay the price. COACH MARTIN PICKS NORTH CAROLINA ALL STATE ELEVEN At equal pace with the development of education in the State of North Carolina, the collegiate football teams of the seasons of 1924 showed marked improvement over their play of former years, and its Tar Heel State came into national prominence of unusual proportions. The season developed its quota of stars who are entitled to be ranked on a par with those of former years. From these we are submitting the following All-North Carolina State eleven: In commenting on the team I would say, that at end position there is no doubt as to the superiority of the Wilson brothers of Durham State Normal over their opponents, for they had the speed, very hard tacklers and their ability to receive passes was uncanny. Gall of Shaw and O'Kelley of Durham State Normal we have two deadly tackles. Experience has made them sturdy in the defense and there is no doubt as to their clearing the way for the runner. Ballard of Shaw and Miller of A. & T. College are master men in the guard positions. They are hard drivers with plenty of fight. "Czar" Rooks is monarch of all he surveys on the gridiron. His agility is wonderful. He is an excellent passer and puts into the pivot position all that ought be expected. Reid of Livingstone and Willett of St Augustine were the shining lights of their respective teams. They were towers of strength offensively, for they could skirt the ends, dash off the tackles and execute forward passes with the proper deception. Both were good hard tacklers and interferers. Coleman of A. & T. College was a fullback of sterling worth, for he was a full example of the end-cunning type who also combined the qualifications of a powerful line Kringer, and was hard to take off his feet. As a kicker from placeman, dropkick, or punt he would be a welcomed asset to the best teams of the country. Mitchell of Shaw undoubtedly stands head and shoulders over the field generals of the state. A heady consistent player, with all the qualifications of a quarterback, he makes a real winner for his team. 23 GOLD FOOT BALLS AND 18 BLANKETS GO TO DEACON WARRIORS Whedbee To Lead 1925 Deacon Machine; Heavy Basket ball Schedule For The Coming Season. Lynchburg, Va., Dec. 23.—The banquet given in honor of Va. Seminary football squad, December 18, 1924, was a fitting close for a glorious season. Graham Hall was the scene of this elaborate display of affection bestowed by the school on those who fought valiantly to uphold her honor during the past season. Beautiful young ladies, exquisitely gowned; an orchestra, half hidden by palms, wafting latest melodies; and an artistically decorated dining hall, all played a large part in making the event more than successful. Dr. R. C. Woods, president of Seminary, acting master of ceremonies, gave a short talk, lauding the football team's success and the wonderful cooperation of every person connected with it. He mentioned the fact that Seminary had representing it—one of the best teams it has ever had in the history of the school. Due praise was given to the "Spartan Daughters Club" for its presentation to the team of 18 large blue blankets with white border and a large white "S" and the Daughters of Ethiopia" for their presentation of 23 gold footballs to Coach Johnson and the team. The two gifts alone cost over $500.00. "When two clubs of young ladies make such sacrifices and gifts, it shows true spirit and cooperation," says Dr. Woods. Whedbee, All American quarterback is to lead the squad of 1925. Whedbee's playing and generalship merit his selection to leadership. Captain Lanier, in a short speech thanked the team for its past support, and mentioned the fact that he will be back next year early to help Captain Whedbee. Coach Hurt made a short talk, thanking the team for its support and urging each individual to return to school next year and help develop a championship team. Coach Johnson mentioned Dr. Woods as 100% behind the team in every respect. He characterized Dr. Woods as a man who could not say no and was always willing to support a team financially. The managers, cheer leaders, and trainers were praised by Coach Johnson. It was pointed out that each rendered valuable services. Captain Lanier next came in for praise, and it was expressed and hoped that Captain Whedbee would not falter but be a greater asset than he was this year. Coach Johnson praised Coach Hurt in the highest terms for his assistance and readiness to cooperate. Coach Johnson has said several times that his assistant was a real asset. "It has always been my ambition to coach a team and the plays you used have been studied, analyzed night after night. One of the hardest things for a man to endure is to see a play misdirected that a coach has spent months perfecting," said Coach Johnson. He continued by saying, "The way for Va. Seminary to get on the map in sports is to develop good teams and let the public know about them. This year Va. Seminary will compete in every branch of sport and I am hoping the sporting editor will release our activities to the press." The basketball schedule is complete for the Southern tour.

Acquitted of Murder Charge Wilson, N. C., Dec. 23—(A. N. P.)—Charley Batts was acquitted of the charge of murder against Wash Savage, in Superior Court, Monday. NOREOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Allentown, Pa., Dec. 23—(A. N. P.—) The first indoor boxing tourney of the season was staged at Mealey's Auditorium by Promoter W. Rutherford, featuring, for the main attraction Allentown J. Joe Gans- and Frank Moody, Boston in a scheduled 10-round bout, which proved a farce.

WHITEHEAD Without a doubt, the football season that has just passed was one of the most eventful one ever recorded, with most of the college elevens playing games of exceptional merit. The dawning of early September found the fields of the colleges swarmed with eager youths ready to begin the seasonal grind which would put them on edge until the final fray. Many veterans were also on hand ready to strive for more laurels wreaths in the game of "thud" and "bump." A number of coaches had changed posts and the task of dealing with new squads stared them in the face while the teams had to labor under the abrupt change of training systems; however these things were somewhat successfully worked out and both coach and squad felt confident when the time arrived to meet the issue. One of the most important changes in the C. I. A. A. that had a tendency to help the school and team a great deal was, when Coach H. D. Martin left Va. Union where he had developed an eleven of merit and sterling quality that was successful in copping the association honors in 1923, and went to Shaw where the battled scarred "Bear Brigade" had had one of the most disgusting campaigns in the history of the school. The Shaw eleven with the assistance of Martin staged a comeback worthy of comment which bids fair to the production of a formidable aggregation for the 1925 campaign. "Doc" Morrison was called back as head mentor at Howard and produced a squad that was unsatisfactory, in view of the fact that he got the gate when the curtains had fallen closing the 1924 frame. Sam Taylor, who gained All-American berths at Union and won distinction at Northwestern University coached at Va. Normal and was instrumental in turguing out a team that only suffered two losses during the season. Petersburg proved a terror to all squads of the C. I. A. A. at the opening of the year's mellee. The only games dropped were to Shaw and Lynchburg Seminary, both of which were listed among the most surprising upsets of the year. W. R. "Whirlwind" Johnson was secured by the Deacon squad and a team was developed that won its first association tilt. Under Johnson and Hurt, the Parsons waged a hot fight throughout the three months of their football activities and finished with a bang. T. W. Harvey of Western football fame filled the vacancy made by Martin at Union and he was also successful in not having a bad record for the season. Union lost only one game, tied the champions when they met and was the runner up in the mad dash for the gonfalon. Five of the C. I. A. A. elevens saw new faces that were to direct their destinies. St. Paul Hampton and Lincoln were the three schools that retained their mentors. Of course, Morrison at Howard was not new, because he had been head coach of the Bison machine, but he had been away from Howard for a short spell and he was new to some of the newcomers on the spad. The Champions In speaking on the points of the various teams, the champions of the C. I. A. A. come in for the first once over. The mighty "Lions" from the jungles of Chester county played one of the most consistent, flashy and brilliant games of any of the other squads which earned for them the highest honors of the season. Lincoln marched gallantly down the fields hurling defeats at the doors of every opponent except one which resulted in a no score tie. She won five association games out of six and did not have her goal shadowed. Coach Young with his brilliant cohorts never failed to win decisively over nearly every opposing eleven with "Jazz" Byrd jazzing t o the tune of deafening cheers. Work of Grasty, Goodman, Lee, Taylor, Lancaster, Crudup, Morgan, Calloway and other smaller lights were always mixing it thick and fast in all the gorefests and covered themselves with glory and earning positions for some on the mythical elevens. Second Choice The Union Panthers come in for second place, being the runners up for the seasonal honors. In spite of the loss of Martin, Union staged a commendable fight and was the only team able to hold Lincoln to even terms. Out of six association games played, Union won three, tied two and lost one. The game dropped to Hampton on Thanksgiving was the biggest dope murderer of the season and registered the only black mark on the Panthers' slate. Shields, Boffman, Jackson, Corrothers, Barksdale, Tobin, Merritt, Houston, Gross Massey were the stellar performers of the season. The exceptional playing of Shields throughout the freys earned for him many compliments that were well-earned. Hampton Hampton got off with a bad start which made prospects look very gloomy, but she also wound up with a biff! biff! bang! and featured in the greatest upset that has been previously referred to. Out of seven association games played, Hampton won four, lost two and tied one. She was beaten by Howard, but the recent withdrawal of the Bison clan from the Intercollegiate Athletic Association forfeited the games to the Seasiders which boosted her batting average giving her credit for another win. In the Hampton line up the following players were the most outstanding for the season, Gunn, Jacobs, Hargrove, J. Jones, D. Jones, Coleman, Pindle, Mansfield and a few other lesser lights of the gridiron. Va. Normal From all indications at the beginning of the season, Va. Normal almost had a formidable squad and was feared by most of the other eleven, but before the season got many weeks old Shaw and Va. Seminary stole by with wins. Petersburg's record cannot be sneered at. Those two games were the only two that were dropped out of six association tilts, the other four resulting into two ties and two wins. Va. Seminary The Demon Dragons, Praying Parsons and Deacons, all which mean Va. Seminary came to the fore the past season and stepped on St. Paul and Petersburg for wins, being the first association games taken by the school since it has been a member of the association. She dropped the other three melees with Hampton Union and Lincoln. Shaw Shaw came back strong the past season and was able to get away with the heavy Va. Normal squad and held Hampton to a no score tie. She dropped the other two games to Lincoln and Union. Shaw was unable to check the onslaught of the Lincoln Lions and prevent herself from being swamped. Shaw St. Paul and Howard St. Paul did not do as well as was expected of her with teams of the association. She threw a flop and lost four of the games, the last one resulting in a no score tie. Howard and St. Paul tied for cellar honors. Out of the three association games played by How- ward all were lost.

JAZZ BYRD THE FLITTING GHOST OF THE GRIDIRON Since Jazz Made His Famous Run In 1922 Against Howard He Has Continued To Be A Ground-Gaining Terror BY F. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. This, we hear is the Jazz Age. Whether is is a fact or not, the established fact remains unchallenged that this is the age of Jazz Byrd's reign at the pinnacle of football achievement. The broken field runner, the ground gainer in football, has always carried an appeal to crowded stands beyond any other factor of the game. It is the spectacular; it is the visible and thrilling struggle of the ball carrier who flips and shifts his way through an entire team, that checks the process of necessary breathing, that brings drowsy. stands to its feet screaming for sheer joy. Jazz Byrd of the Lincoln Lions, 1924 undefeated champions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, made his first famous run against Howard as an unheard of bench warmer in the classic of 1922, which was held in Washington. This run of some sixty odd yards brought victory to Lincoln in the final scoring by one point for his teammates secured the one extra point necessary for victory. And yet the fame of that run rides on down the seasons, studded with almost as dazzling individual achievement. Last year when his team needed six points to ward off the drops of defeat, it was Jazz who raced eighty five yards from the kickoff to put the Lions in scoring distance, and then to take the pigskin across the final mark for a tie score. These runs are as vivid as if they were only hours old. Few of His Class There have not been many of these broken field brilliants who were hard to drag back to earth, who had speed and power, who were quick and strong of foot, so keen of mind and so wry of body that reaching hands could not pull them down. There have been a few, but never an oversupply. The coach who got one knew himself to be a lucky mortal. As the column formed it included among a host of others such backfield stars as Parr of Lincoln, Laws of Lincoln, Kean of Howard, Hicky Scott of Hampton, Doneghy of Howard, Whirlwind Johnson of Lincoln, Hucles of Union, Harvey of Hampton, Parker of St. Paul, Williams of Shaw, Rigney of Hampton, and Gunn of Hampton. These do not, perhaps, represent the very best or all of the best, but that is impossible. It does, however, include only men who have CARD OF THANKS We take this method of expressing our appreciation to all, who so kindly rendered their services during the illness and death of our brother and uncle, Richard Keeling.

IN MEMORIAM In memory of my dear wife, Mary Green, who departed this life December 28, 1923. One sad year has passed since we were caused to part.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear son and daughter, Samuel and Blanche Williams, who departed this life May 25 and June 27, 1924. Precious ones from us have gone. The voices we loved are still. Aplace is vacant in our home, Which never can filled. God in His wisdom has received The boom His love has given, Although the bodies moldeth here, The souls are safe in heaven. From the family, 2332 County St., Portsmouth, Va. meant much to the success of every team. These are at least among theaders, but not all of them were of the shifty, elusive, fast type as Byrd. They gained consistently for gains averaging ten to fifteen yards by simply boreing the line. But we are referring now to the ghost-like, slippery type, who, in addition to great speed, were also quick at dodging and hard to bring to earth when finally caught. There are many, and there are types, but none brings the thrill of the broken field runner. A back of the type suited for a battering ram is necessary sometimes and always valuable but never quite as popular. And then trough the season just ended here came the same Jazz Byrd to again jazz his way to glory and victory. His triumph challenge the fame of the greatest of the past. His record brings up the question whether his type is more valuable than Doneghy's type. There are thousands who think so. A Brilliant Season Certainly Byrd has done wonders this season after the warning he sent on ahead from last season. From the start his first play was a brilliant one, and opposing defenses have found it well near impossible to hold him in check. He was a meteor from the first flash, strong, fairly large, with a wild rush of speed, a wiry, agile body that could be twisted in any direction, a deceptive change of speed and pace and a fairly good stiff arm to drive tacklers off. If the records were scanned properly Hampton and Union alone have held Byrd from the final chalk line which represents six points upon crossing. Union played against Lincoln once only, and in a driving rain. Even then Byrd raced half the distance of the field before being downed. But he was never able to score. Against Hampton his longest run was fifty-five yards. Never has he risen to heights which would be beyond the reach of the powerful Seasider's defense. This year he ran within twenty-five yards of Hampton's goal line, but it was a teammate who went across. It has humorously been said that Hampton has the "Indian Sign" on Jazz. And they do. Brooked No Defense There were occasions when great defenses and great watchfulness, together with hard tackling, harried his way for a large portion of the afternoon. But just when the opposing team and its mentor had decided and were quite satisfied that Jazz was well suppressed and helpless, here he came on his way through a broken field for another score after slipping, sliding, and twisting his way for forty of fifty yards. This was exactly the case last Thanksgiving. Only then another touchdown as such made little difference. Howard simply hated to not have Byrd scoreless. People said when Byrd made his first famous run against the Bisons in '22 that is was a lucky break, that it was a case of going where not called, but which turned out to be the way to victory. That might happen—that one miracle. But Byrd had only started. Each season he got away for marches of forty, fifty, seventy, eighty yards unstopped. His was an ability of speed and a baffling dodging skill which we have never seen equalled. His runs were made against teams all set and trained to block his advance, watching and waiting for every start. Teams three points, two touchdowns better than Lincoln have not been three points ar, two touchdowns better than Byrd—and lost. Backed Line of Stars It is to be noted, in all fairness, that Byrd worked back of a line which furnished quite a number of All-American stars. Too, he ran with the powerful aid of Taylor, Goodman, and Lee as interference. They were all stars of the first NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE magnitude. Yet Byrd on frequent occasione made his way, alone thru lightning speed, sudden swerving, body twisting, side-stepping, and on occasional stic. arm. Being a strong runner also, he possessed, all a brilliant backfield star needs without a weakness in the brokenfield or passing attack. The greatest all-round football players do not enter into this article. Instead the writer concerns himself with the greatest ground-gainers. And certainly total, yardage accumulated, from scrimmage and in returning punts and kickoffs, by Byrd is enormous. Those who follow football realize how difficult it is to shake a man loose and to score on a stron defensive team. A famous coach, one who is noted especially for the lines and linemen he develops, once said: "A weak team backed to the wall under its own goal is twice as hard to penetrate." Byrd with uncean ability has been able to shake off would be tacklers who clawed for him in protection of their goal. Directly or indirectly this running demon has been responsible for the majority of Lincoln's touchdowns. When not used to carry the ball his value existed in the threat which he embodied. It was not always his actual carrying of the ball, but the possibility of his carrying it that worried opponents. He Gets Through Byrd cannot or does not drive through openings with the power of a Doneghy or Scott. But he manages to get through; he sifts through, and once loose there has been nothing that could down him. He has never attempted the rare versatility of Doneghy and others. But as yet such versatility was unnecessary towards securing scores. Great backs have come and gone in Negro football history, and many in white schools( of them another article will deal), but they had big days for intervals. Or through seasons, but none have enjoyed as many successive big days as Byrd when his every move was spotted. One brief example after another can be given. In fact, a review of almost any game will show that he got away. He would not quit and he could not be stopped. In reality Byrd flits and drifts and darts as a shadow. He is the Flitting Ghost of the Gridiron incarnate. Effortless, ghost-11k weaving and gliding upon effortless legs that have carried him to victory in hundred yard dashes on 10 2-5 seconds—that is Jazz Byrd. Full speed ahead, a complete stop, off in a new direction, a perfect coordination of brains and muscles—these have made Byrd the most bewildering, baffling problem opponents have had to deal with in many senses. Human Tornado Human Tornado A human tornado, a veritable whirlwind, an almost detachable body, a weaving course, and super speed—fair this and you have another Jazz Byrd. Let others offer their greatest backs, but we prefer to stake our chances on this Spirit of the College Battlefield. Unless Jazz Byrd plans to up graduate work at Lincoln next year his days for his dear old Lincoln are over. To the victor belongs the spills; to but Jazz Byrd belongs the title which fits him only: "The Flitting Ghost of the Gridron." Falsely Accuses Girl of Theft Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 23.—(A. N. P.)—When George Reinhart, white, sees another colored girl on the street he won't be so anxious to offer her a ride in his car, because Lizzie Willis, Kater street, near Seventeenth gave him a warning that caused him much embarrassment when he accused the girl of stealing $80 from him, only to find it on the floor of his car. With the idea that money would turn the head of girls, Reinhart, was cruising along Columbia avenue near Fifth Street on Wednesday night when along came Lizzie. He offered her a ride for reasons of his own and she accepted the offer. What happened in the car could not be learned. However, the girl alighted from the car after riding a block and a half. She then boarded a car for down town. Reinhart missed his pocketbook and he immediately followed the trolley in which the girl was riding. After twenty squares the girl alighted from the trolly and Reinhart told a traffic cop, who arrested the girl on Reinhuit's statement. SEASIDERS OPEN SEASON WITH AN EASY VICTORY Hampton's Championship Quintet Scores 38 to 12 Triumph Over St. Paul Tigers of Lawrenceville. Hampton, Va., Dec. 20—Umbile to score for six minutes, Hampton Institute settled down when Hargrove looped a beautiful shot from mid-court to start the scoring which ended in a 38 to 12 victory who made their initial bow into intercollegiate basketball competition here tonight in a creditable manner. The Tigers fought hard in the uphill game and furnished the spectators with thrill after thrill. Though lacking the smoothness of team-work which comes of experience and hard competition, Coach Taylor's five exhibited promise of giving her remaining opponents a lively battle for a victory. Outpassed, outshot, and outplayed, the Tigers clawed and fought back until gradually her score reached a total of five at the end of the first half and twelve at the final gun. From that first brilliant field goal which the redoubrable Hargrove scored to the last two points of the game, which he also scored on free throws, it was a matter only of the size of the final score. The substitutes which Coach Williams sent into the game kept up the scoring and held down the scoring of the opposing five to a minimum. Of this group of reserve material which went into the game Eugene Brown probably was the most dazzling in his work. Dribbling with skill and judgment, pivoting and passing with bewildering speed, this player, whose sobriquet is "Savage," scored eight points in the ten minutes which he played. Hampton Scores First On Goal The Tigers were the first to take the floor and were given a rousing cheer by the spectators and student body of Hampton. Warming up by passing and shooting, Captain Walker and his five showed signs of a good game by the ease with which they handled the ball. Indeed, it will not take long for St. Paul to be rated in the first division with the promising material she possesses. Soon after the Seasiders took the floor, led by Captain Chester Jones, Referee Vernon S. Brown called the game. Neither five was able to score for about six minutes. Then Hargrove took a pass from a teammate and sank a shot from mid-floor to put Hampton in the lead with two points. Jones fouled, but St. Paul missed the free throw just before this shot was made. Hargrove and Lambright swept down the floor with lightning-like passes but missed the attempt for goal. Captain Jones sent the ball swishing through for two points for Hampton. Score 4 to 0. Hargrove began a rally which netted enough to run, the score to 11. He sank one, then McNichols dropped in a free throw, Hargrove followed with two field goals and the score was 11-0 in Hampton's favor. Though missing chances which should have meant points, the team was finding itself, and Hargrove, Lambright, McNichols, Jones, and Langston began the brand of playing which won last year's championship. St. Paul Scores Goal About this time the Tigers rallied; Faulks, their elusive and accurately shooting forward, dribbled from mid-court to score a short field goal which brought resisting cheers from the lusty s of the rooters and especia- Hampton students. It work, and the crowd realize it. The score was 11-2, but soon went to 13-2 when McNichols scored a field goal. Walker fouled, and on the attempt to make the free throw, McNichols missed, but Hargrove tipped the ball in for two points. Score 15-2 in Hampton's favor. Score after. score was coming now. Hargrove looped in another goal, but soon after this had his third foul called on him. Jefferson scored the free throw to change the score 17-3. Throne was sent in to prevent the possibility of Hargrove being forced out on personal fouls. A free throw by Jones for Hampton and a field goal by Faulks for St. Paul came just be- Hampton--38 St. Paul--12 McNichols F. Jefferson Lambright F. Faulk. Hargrove G. Lindsay Jones (c) G.

Lambright Scores in Second Half Tate substituted in St. Paul's lineup for Jefferson and Throne remained in Hargrove's position for Hampton in the second hilt. A more snappy movement was observed in both teams, and as a result an early score was chalked up. Lambright, the diminutive forward, who usually is accurate in shooting was off in this department tonight. His only shot was the one which came first in the second half. McNichols missed a free throw. Immediately after, Faulk sank a 'field goal and the score stood 20-7 in Hampton's favor. Lee secured one point for St. Paul, but the Seasiders retaliated with goals by McNichols and Jones. Just at this time Brown was sent in by Coach Williams for Lambright. He fouled, but the Tigers failed to profit by the chance. A foul was committed on Brown and he made good his chance, sending the score to 25-8 and then 27-8 by a brilliant field goal after a brilliant march down court. Lindsay was foreed out of the game by four personal fouls and Amis was sent in by Coach Taylor. Lee made a free throw good for St. Paul, running the score to 2919, for just before this McNichols scored a field. Renfrow was substituted for Throne. McNichols sank another field goal, Brown a free throw, Faulk's a field goal and a free throw for the Tigers, Brown another shot for Hampton, and then another in quick succession, and Hargrove two free throws as the game ended, 38-12 in Hampton's favor. Hargrove Best Scores Hargrove, playing approximately half a game, was high scorer with 14 points; McNichols was second with 9; Faulks of St. Paul shared second place with nine; Brown was in the game about ten minutes and was third with 8 points.

IGIOUS NEWS Church Activites # FIRST BAPSTIST CHURCH The Holy Spirit is making itself gmanifest in our sunrise prayer dessins of late that our numbers are being greatly increased. At 11:30 a.m., m., Rev. R. H. Bowling announced his text: Is. 51:2, subject, "A Call to Reconstruction." He then proceeded to break the bread of life to many hungry souls, who sat at his feet. When he was thru the multitude was loud in their happy expressions of joy because their souls had been well fed. This being the last Communion in the year large numbers were out at 3:30 to participate in this great celebration. The Holy Spirit took charge of the meeting, apparently, and directed it in the old-fashioned way and the old hearts of the cross gave in soul-stirring testimonies. At this service the hand of fellowship was given to eight persons. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were well attended and the spirit of the season was evident as the officers were completing their programs details for the Christmas entertainments. Sunday night a representative gathering assembled themselves together to hear Gods word, as Rev. Bowling had advertised that he would preach on the subject: "Was Jesus the Son of God, Jno. 20:31. The speaker declared that Revelation, both profane and sacred history and human experiences substantiate the affirmative side of the question. M.T. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Every department of the church is progressing nicely and all workers are jubilant over the year's success. The pastor, Rev. Johnson, preached a very instructive and illustrative sermon on last Sunday from the subject: "Looking for the King." The discourse was enjoyed by all as it brought to their attention the Wise men's visit. The Ladies' Society held a very successful pew rally at the 3:30 hour. The principal speakers at this hour were, Messrs. Russell West and Isaac Faulkner, Jr., our own young men who are students at Lincoln University. The audience enjoyed the scholarly addresses immensely. A Candle-Light service was held at night with solemn and impressive ceremonies. The congregation was deeply impressed with the Christian's duty of being a 'Light'. These services were held under the auspices of the Missionary Circle. The Willing Workers Club held their regular meeting at the home of the president, Mrs. Dagner. Regular business was dispensed with and the hostess served a very appropriate menu. The Ladies' Aid Society held its coling session for the year at the residence of Mrs. Maggie West. The officers for 1925 were duly elected and business for the year promptly closed. The hostess served a delicious repast and the ladies retired to meet again on the first Wednesday in January at the residence of Mrs. Faulkner, the president. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services were at a very high spiritual tide last Sunday. Our Early Morning Prayer Meeting is getting better each week. The Sunday school is good. The Adult class still retains the banner for the offering, raising last Sunday ten dollars. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor gave us a good practical sermon from Matt. 6:12. After this service the funeral of Mrs. Dora L. Jones was held. Many societies and friends were present. The B. Y. P. U. rendered a program at Bethel Baptist Church at 5:30 p. m.

On account of the telephone wires being disconnected there was a deal of delay in reaching the officers, one of whom should have been on guard at the hospital. After Smith had been taken off by the masked band, Dr. George Carpenter, nurses and attaches were aroused and officers sent for. Nashville Stirred By The Outrage Immediately after the news of the lynching spread throughout the city, Nashville law enforcement authorities, leading educators, citizens, and civic bodies came forward with statements denouncing the lynchers and demanding their capture and punishment. A reward, totaling $6,500 has been offered for their capture. $1,500 of the amount being authorized by the governor of the state and the other $5,000 being contributed by the business men of the city. Work has already begun on clues to the identity of the members of the masked hand and early arrests are expected to follow. Mayor Hillary E. Hosew in his office said today "We are dead in earnest in our desire to arrest, and bring to the bar of justice the members of the mob. The sheriff will go to the limit in this matter and I believe that with the cooperation that he is going to get from the police department of Nashville the guilty will be brought to justice." Judges charge Grand Jury Judges J. D. DeBrow and Chester K. Hart, presiding over the criminal courts, called the Davidson county grand jury before them and delivered to them a special charge with reference to the lynching of the colored youth, among which they said: "After more than a quarter of a century mob violence has again entered into our midst and left its blackened stain upon the city, county and state. On Monday night of this week, a mob, we are informed, masked and armed, entered the General Hospital of this city and took therefrom Sam Smith a colored boy, who was lying wounded and helpless, chained to his cot, and carried him to the southern end of this county, and there killed him by shooting him and hanging him. This matter can not go unnoticed. Every good citizen condemn actions of this kind and should be interested in ferreting out the perpetrators thereof." Citizens Demand Answer to Holding that the lynching of a defenseless Negro boy has made the Governor of Tennessee and the sheevif of Davidson county the two officials who are in a position to lift the community from the disgrace inflicted upon it, a number of Nashville's most highly respected citizens addressed communication to Governor Austin Paey and Sheriff Robert Briley declaring that it was inconceivable that the guilty persons could not be apprehended and punished. The letter was signed by eighteen of Nashville's most prominent white business men. Strong resolutions from various civic bodies of the city were published in the two big dailies of the city, the Nashville Banner and Nashville Tennessee, denouncing in the strongest possible terms the lynchers and demanding that they be brought to justice. Mayor Hillary E. Howse said he deeply regretted that such an act should have taken place in the General Hospital. It was unknown to him that the boy had been placed there and therefore the Nashville police had no opportunity to give protection. City's Record Blackened Among the most notable statements coming from citizens in connection with the lynching was that of W. D. Weatherford, chairman of the Tennessee State Interracial Committee, which was in part as follows: "For the first time in thirty years Nashville and Davidson county have had their record blackened by a lynching. The deed is all the more hideous because a wounded Negro boy was taken from a hospital bed and riddled with bullets before the law could have a chance to act. The humanness of the law was giving the boy a chance for medical treatment before it brought him to the bar of justice. "Six armed men with handkerchiefs tied over their faces have not only shot a Negro boy to death, but they have murdered the spirit of obedience to law in the hearts of hundred of people, they have insulted our civil government and done all they could to de-bauch the moral sense of our boys and girls. They have committed a greater crime than did the Negro boy, for they have broken down respect for law and respect for life. They have exposed every good citizen to criticism, and made lifeless secure for all. When you strike a blow at the social order which makes life safe, you have struck a blow at the protection of every home and sacred institution." Others who made statements others as strong were D. Edwin Mimmus of Vanderbilt University, former secretary of Tennessee Law and Order Lengue; J. H. Kirkland, chancellor of Venderbilt University; Charles E. Little, George Peabody College for Teachers; J. D. Blanton, president Ward Belmont School; J. L. Cunningham, president Scarritt College; C. A. Craig, president National Life and Accident Insurance Company; Jesse Cowan, president of the Civian Club; W. E. Ward vice president of the Kiwanis Club; Herbert Corson, president of the Lion's Club; A. D. Armstrong, president of the Optimist Club; Thomas H. Joy, president of the Rotary Club; Leonard Sisk, president of the American Business Club; R. D. Roberts, president of the Chamber of Commerce; F. A. McKenzie president of Fisk University and J. J. Mullowney, president of McHarry College. ONE KILLED AND TWO INJURED IN LANDSLIDE ONE KILLED AND TWO INJURED IN LANDSLIDE (Continued from Page One) Mr. Council, his boss. He worked fast and herically for ten minutes, collapsed and was lifted out of the hole and rushed to St. Agnes hospital. "I've got to get my boss out of there," he exclaimed as workers insisted on him leaving the scene. Perry was at the extreme end of the fill and loose dirt covered him up. Draws Big Crowd News of the cave-in spread quickly throughout the city and hundreds of spectators were on the scene. Policemen, however, took charge of the situation and kept back the crowds when it looked like another slide might follow. Workmen engaged in the rescue work were endangered throughout their laborers, but cool heads eliminated any slight thing that might tend to cause a second cave-in. Mayor Culbreth and Commissioners Page and Birdson watched the rescue work and were deeply interested in the possible chance of bringing Johnson back to life. "I'd rather the water would have backed up clear to the Methodist Orphanage buildings than for this to have happened," Commissioner C. C. Page said as he ploughed through the red mud from the fill after the third man had been brought out dead. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE OUTLINES 1925 PROGRAM FOR BETTER HOMES Farm and Home Demonstraction Agents Met at Hampton; Receive Aid Of State And Federal Officials. 1925 PROGRAM OF Hampton, Van., Dec. 23—Negro farm and home-demonstration agents of Virginia recently met at Hampton Institute under the auspices of the Virginia A. and M. College and Polytechnic Institute and the U. S. Department of Agriculture and outlined the 1925 program of work which will be carried out in 21 counties to help rural families meet their economic and social needs through community organizations and local initiative. John B. Pierce, of Hampton Institute, who is the special agent for colored demonstration work in Virginia and seven other States presided. The 1925 adult farm-demonstration work for colored citizens of Virginia will include the growing of corn, hay, hogs for home supply and soil improvement with the use of legumes and green manure crops, as well as terracing and liming. There will also be established in 24 counties of Virginia breeding-centers for the family cow and hog. There will also be established all-round poultry demonstration-centers through which men and women will learn the value of having sanitary houses for their poultry and introducing purbred cockersel into their flocks. Careful attention will be paid to problems of poultry management. The usual farmers' conferences, county fairs, and county tours for the purpose of inspecting demonstrations and rural improvements will farm a part of the 1925 program. The work for colored boys, organized as "farm-makers' clubs" will include corn-growing for larger yields per acre, the fattening of pigs, the holding of club rallies for the purpose of spreading interest in club work for boys, and the training of demonstration teams Colored boys will continue to operate demonstrations in growing peanuts, cotton, soy beans, potatoes, cow peas, and poultry. The colored boys of Virginia will also send exhibits to the 1925 Richmond State Fair and the Tidewater Fair, which is held in Suffolk. The home demonstration agents, during 1925, will organize the colored women of 7 counties into home demonstration clubs which will give especial attention to the making of a better grade of clothing, especially underwear; the making of rugs; the improving of kitchens; the beautification of the home gardens; and the raising of poultry for profit. These agents will make a special effort to assist farmers in canning whole beef. They will aim to help the farmers secure a greater variety and economy in diet by introducing the use of beef to offset the excessive use of pork and to conserve for the farmers the beef which they produce but usually have to dispose of quickly. These home-demonstration agents will also organize colored girls into "home-makers clubs" which will give special attention to canning, cooking, sewing, poultry, room-improvement, and gardening demonstrations. The aim of all this work is to improve the home life of the colored citizens of Virginia. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, welcomed the agents and referred to the growth of the principle co-operation which is helping farmers throughout the world. At a general assembly of the Hampton Institute workers and students, O. B. Martin, Washington, D. C., who is in charge of Southern Division, U.S. Extension Work, spoke on "The Relation of Scanam A. Knapp to the Development of Extension Service during the Past Twenty Years." He stated that there are to-day at work in the South nearly 300 colored agents and that there was over 4000 men and women engaged in extension work. "Dr. Knapp," he added, "started with the reconstruction of the home and magnified the home as a civilizing force." western commonwealth is famous lead directly to the Villa and bushes from both Los Angeles and Frisco pass the entrance frequently furnishing comfortable transportation to those who do not own cars, although it is true that no mean percentage of the million and a quarter licensed in the state are MURDER VICTIM ```markdown ``` Showing mutilated face of young woman whose body was found under pile of straw in Princess Anno County. owned and driven by colored folk.

Mrs. Pierce was attending to her household duties in an upstairs room and was not aware that fire was consuming the house from the rear. Had she not been called by neighbors, perhaps she would have been a victim of the fast-spreading flames. Nothing of any consequence was saved, and neighbors have rallied willingly to the aid of the stricken family. They are temporarily quartered at 413 N. Chestnut street.

Prescott, Jr. Associate Editor of Chicago Whip Save Slayer of Common-law Wife WOMAN KEPT FOUR GUNS IN HER HOUSE Chicago, Ill., Dec. 23.—(A. N. P.)—Fifty-one year old George Hill, on trial for his life, charged with the slaying of his common-law wife, Mattie Calloway Hill, the four-gun vampire, was saved from the gallows by a masterful defense put up by two young lawyers, recently admitted to practice, who, at the time they were studying law made national reputations as editorial writers. The defense counsel consisted of Joseph D. Bibb, militant editor of the Chicago Whip, and Patrick B. Prescott, Jr., associate editor of the Whip, author of the "Grist Mill" column in that paper and also a number of short stories. Hill, when first arrested, declared that he had shot his wife while drunk. Prescott and Bibb, upon investigation, learned that the slayers feeling to his unlawful wife, due to an uneasy influence she held over him, had led him to testify falsely as to the facts of the killing. They discovered that she had been killed in a tussle for a gun which she had drawn on him in an effort to force him to go to work, he having complained of illness and refused to leave the house. They further learned that the woman who died ten days after she was shot, had kept four pistols in the house locked in a chifferobe where she also kept booze. Her husband was never allowed to touch either the pistols or the liquor. She is understood to have WHY NOT JOIN THE FLOWERS $1 To Join 10c Per Month Receive a bunch each week.

Anthony Aery Hampton, Va., Dec. 24—Dr. James Hardy Dilliard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, recently presided over a meeting in the Virginia Randolph School, which is the training school for Henrico county, located about 12 miles, from Richmond. The Jeanes Memorial Dormitory, a brick building costing nearly $25,000, which will provide excellent living quarters for 24 girls was dedicated. George Foster Peabody, well-known philanthropist of New York, formally presented the dormitory to the Henrico county school board. The gift was accepted by A. C. Cooper, county superintendent of schools. Miss Jeanes Interested In Rural Work Mr. Peabody described the discovery of the simple, little Quaker lady, Anna T. Jeanes of Philadelphia, who declared to the late Dr. H.B. Frissell, principal of Hampstead Institute, that her heart had gone out to the Negro cabin schools of the South. He gave some detailed information concerning the development of Miss Jeanes' interest in the so-called "schools in the background." Doctor Dilliard stated that Miss Jeanes saw the bottom need in education; namely, helping children in the background. "Miss Jeanes," he said, "objected to all publicity. She did everything unobtrusively. It is fitting that somewhere in the South, there should be some simple modest memorial to Miss Jeanes. It is built on savings—on odds and ends of funds left over from year to year. This dormitory has been built where the work of a Jeanes teacher was first spread over an entire county." Miss Randolplr Started Her School Thirty-Two Years Ago Thirty-two years ago Virginia E. Randolph, a modest, efficient, ambitious colored woman, began her work in Henrico county in a one-room schoolroom upon a red clay hill. Nearby was a generous white woman who owned a gravel pit. The new school teacher had visions which she believed she could make come true. She secured the gravel for the leveling of the school plot. She organized a group of willing workers who paid for hauling the gravel. She had rich soil put over the gravel. She induced 12 patrons to plant one apricot in the school yard. "These trees," she said, "were named after the disciples. All of the trees lived and flourished. The patrons were very proud of their trees. Finally, however, 'Judas' had to be cut down to make room for a two-room addition." The dedication of the Jeanes Memorial Dormitory made it possible for a distinguished company of white and colored visitors to hear the story of what had been accomplished through the good offices of Anna T. Jeanes and Virginia E. Randolph—Two women who put service to their fellowmen above personal gain or distinction. 325 Jeanes Workers On Field Now lengthen school terms, and secure more regular school attendance." Among those who took part in the dedication were: Jackson Davis, who as superintendent of schools helped to spread the work in Henderson; Rev. Bevectly D. Tucker, D. D., rector of St. Paul's Church, Richmond, who offered the opening prayer; John Stewart Bryan of Richmond, who has for many years been a friend of Negro education; W. F.

New achievements have been recorded. The Negro citizen is coming into his own thru the subtle influence and power of his own merit. There has been much during the past year to test the patience and courage of the Negro people. In the industrial world, following close upon the heels of the great war, there was a great hue and cry as to the need of letting down the bars of immigration that a larger supply of foreign labor might come in and fill the shortage in the steel plants and other industries of the North, which industries had been depleted of labor by the return of those formerly employed to their native lands because of the World Conflict. Today there are employed in Northern industries thousands of Negro laborers at salaries and wages far greater that those formerly received from their labors in the Southland in connection with the on-crop farm system, and from other poorly paid employments. These new environments and the increased remuneration have given the Negro an opportunity which had hitherto been denied. The long yearnings for a fuller life, for facilities for the education of his children, for creature comforts, and for much that makes life worth living, an unrestricted voting franchise, have come to him and he has found a contented state of mind which evidences itself in the new stability of his employment. No longer can he be designated the itinerant laborer in industry for he remains on the job in season and out of season. In politics, the Negro is expressing an independence in a manner which challenge the admiration of other racial groups in America. His voting is now determined not by the color of his skin but by the measure of his intellect. In the recent national election there were Negro followers of the three leading parties. The fact that the major portion of his voting strength was given to the Republican party was not due wholly to historical leanings, but was due more particularly to individual decision guided by intelligent reasoning. In education, the Negro in 1924 has accomplished outstanding results. Howard University, Lincoln University, Wilberforce University, Morehouse College, Hampton Institute, Tuskegee Institute, Atlanta University, Fisk University and numerous other of the leading institutions of the country specializing in the training of Negro youth, have sent forth thousands of students imbued with the spirit of service to their race, to their country, and to their God. It is well that a reflecting glance should scan the accomplishments of our race during the year 1924, as we gird for the struggles of 1925. True, there have been errors and short-comings, but even the most ungenerous accountant will find that the Negro people of America are still on the asset side of the ledger in their relation to the obligations of American citizenship. KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- If 'taint one thing 'Tis another—and now 'Tis A MERRY CHRISTMAS to All you bimbes—an I thank you! I may be late with my greetings, but it's better late than not none whatever. Writing I was listening in on a mass meeting this week an one of these hear bozos what's a lawyer roun this burgh gets up an reeds a paper on opportunity. What this guy don't know bout opportunities wouldst fill a book. He names baseball with sum of the things that ain't opportunities, cause they tare down the structures of the body. Now that's plain unforgivable dumbness an if sum folks I know wouldst here him say that, he'd regret it all his life. That is, if this bimbo wouldst have any life when they got thru beating him. Wile working for a newspaper as a cub, one day I was detailed to go down to the tranes an meet a guy what was cuming in town to speak. Well, I didst not know this bird frum a turnip. I had only see his pickture. The boss sez, "I'll describe 'im to you. He kinda looks like you a little bit." Well, I begin to feel good cause I always had known that all big men couldst be associated. Then the chief hauls off and sez," the biggest an unglutious man you seas, that's "im"—Ow! To tell you all the pop-eyed strate stuff, I felt so low, I couldst not have knocked it off. Well, I journeyed on down to meet the trane an nail Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials Will The Farms Of The Future Years Be Operated By Radio? Push Button Farming Will Dispense With Part of Physical Labor, But Brains Will Still Be Necessary. Realization Not Far the first big ugly gezer I seas. I hangs round a wile an the tranes rolls in the station, an I watched the folkses as they got off an waited patiently for my man. My quick like 'detective eye caught sight of him pronto. I was borne to be a great detective anyways, but I happens to follow the newspaper game. Well, I jumps on this guy an grabs his bags up off the ground where he had set them and starts for the taxi an sez, follow me. This bimbo follows me an ain't said nothing yet. I tries to start sum talking you know. I sez, nice day, ain't it. This bird's mouth stays tight as a klams. In the mean times, this guy had said sumthing to the baby what was driving this hear taxi. I soon finds myself rolling up near the police station, course I didst not think anything beut that, but when this baby stops right at the door an my man jumps out I gets alarmed. I yells this ain't the place we gets off, e sez in a graff, "this is what you stops for a wile." He takes the bags out an I fool like, trying to explain follows him right smack in the jail house. He get before the desk sergeant an sez "well, boss I got my man." Then, I wants to no what it's all about. Then this hear sergeant baby sex, "don't try to pull none that innocent stuff. All right officer, where's the evidence?" This big ugly baby what I had tackled down at the trane puts them bags and suitcases on the desk, opens them up, an there stood starring me plumb between the peepers, a multitude of burglar tools of all descript-shuns, for cracking safes, jimmying winders and the like. Well.—I was dumb-founded, motionless, speakless an everything else. Well, I gess you folks knows how much concentrated trouble I had on my hands trying to explain outta this predickamint. Never again will I take nobody's descript-shun on folks. The trouble was, I missed my man. An the morale in this little story is: There's always more than one ugly man cuming in on the tranes. BY EARLE C. REEVES Who interviewed the experi I once worked for a farmer who believed in plenty of work. I was only a kid, and finally I rebelled, as follows: "The kind of farm I want to run," I said, "is one which I can reach out of bed in the warning and push one button to slop the pigs, poke another one to hay the calves, press a third to clean out the barn, and so on all day long." "Yes," said the farmer, "and then you'd want to hire somebody to push the buttons. You're fired." I have a fine conviction that one of the reasons that farmer got angry enough to fire me was that secretly he wanted to run that kind of a farm too, and all these years I have believed that I merely said out loud what a few million dirt farmers have been thinking. Push Button Farming No Theory. Am I right? Would you like to do a little "push-button" farming for a change? Isn't it about time considering the number of things a push button will do in a factory? Can't some of the farm's thousands and one jobs be made automatic? You have asked yourselves these very questions. I know. All right, get this picture: In the center of a gently rolling western plain, steel-skeletoned tower with a small room at th top, glass enclosed on all sides. At a small table in this room sits a man. He has before him a box the chief visible feature of which is a battery of push-buttons. In his hands he holds a pair of powerful field glasses. He lifts them to his eyes and gazes off towards the horizon now and then, after which he manipulates the push buttons, or mere smiles in satisfaction and does not at all except watch. Outside, almost as far as eye can see, lies a great farm. The tower is in the middle of a field of rip-pling grain. Across the field crawl reapers, methodically slicing strips from the restless golden sea and widening the area of stubble. Look more carefully, or pick up the field glasses for a close-up of those distant, motor-propelled farm implements. (Continued on Page 11.) Say It With Candy—From KEMP'S 1629 1-2 CHURCH ST.

S.)—North Carolina realizes the importance of caring for her colored tuberculous citizens. This division Carolina was opened in October, 1923. It is splendidly built, modern structure, modeled on the same lines as the unit for white patients. It accommodates 64 patients, an equal number of men and women. It is under the medical direction as the same physicians as the white division of the Sanatorium. The patients have all the advantages of the X-ray, splendid laboratory and special treatments offered tuberculous persons at the State Sanatorium. A highly capable colored graduate nurse is head nurse and matron. The opinion is prevalent that Negroes do not respond to sanatorium treatment. This is not true. It has been the experience of the doctors at the Sanatorium that cases taken early enough and given proper treatment respond to it almost as well as white patients do. While undergoing treatment at the sanatorium it is very necessary for the patients to get full benefit of the treatment. There are a number of small things that help to make the life of the Sanatorium patients and the long period of treatment pass pleasantly. Books and music are two of these. The colored sanatorium at the present time does not have any of these things, nor does the State make any appropriation for them. Books of fiction, biography, history and travel to form a library for the colored sanatorium and a talking machine with a number of good records are needed at the colored division now. Anyone wishing to contribute any of these things may send them to the North Carolina Sanatorium, marked "colored division." Heretofore, one of the great difficulties in the treatment of tuberculosis among Negroes, even more so among whites, has been getting the disease diagnosed in its early stages. The North Carolina Sanatorium now employs 2 whole-time traveling clinicians. These physicians hold clinics for examination of both white and colored free of charge in any town or county in which their services are requested. WILLIAMSTON Williamston, N. C.—At the A. M. E.

MORISONSCHOOL WILL OPEN JANUARY1 MORISONSCHOOL WILL OPEN JANUARY1 Officers Elected For Training School For Delinquent Boys. Rev. L. L. Boyd, Supt. (Special to The Journal and Guide.) Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 23.—Directors of the Morrison Training School for delinquent Negro boys and girls in Richmond county at their meeting Thursday in Raleigh set January 1 as the date for opening the institution, which recently has been completed, and elected Rev. L. L. Boyd, race teacher and preacher, of Gastonia, as superintendent. J. S. Braswell, of Hamlet, who has been in charge of the building and farm of 400 acres on which the school is located, will be business manager. The present annual appropriation of $10,000 is regarded as sufficient for 35 inmates but there is room for 100 and the Legislature will be asked to make appropriations on a basis of $250 per inmate for whatever number it wishes to provide for. Eventually it is thought that the place will support itself. It was decided that none of the children now in the colored orphanage at Oxford could be taken by the school, which will limit its inmates to boys committed to it by the courts after January 1st. Salaries are $1,800 for he superintendent; $1,500 for the business manager and $400 for the latter's wife, who will be bookkeeper. The State also will provide for family expenses of the superintendent. Members of the board who met Thursday are Secretary of State, W. N. Everette; Senator L. R.

Sternberger Responds To Call Sent Out By Trustees of Palmer Institute. Head of Board Gave $1,000 (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C. Dec. 23—A gift of $1,000 was made to Palmer Memorial Institute, at Sedalin, Wed. Dec. 17, by Mrs. E. Sternberger. The check came in response to a call which was sent out by the trustees of the institution to raise a fund to rebuild the dormitory burned down a few days ago. E. P. Wharton, chairman of the board of trustees, started the fund by a gift of $100. "Mrs. Sternburger's check came as a godsend to the school," declared Mr. Wharton. "It was a magnanimous thing to do and one which is appreciated to the greatest extent by the board of trustees. And I feel sure that the people of Greensboro and surrounding community which has for a long time felt the influence of the good being accomplished by the institution, will have a grateful feeling towards this generous woman." In making this gift to the colored school, Mrs. Sternberger is carrying on the work of Emaul Sternberger, her husband, who died last summer, supported generously. Mr. Sternberger never let his interest lapse in constructive work among southern Negroes. This amount will only be a neurules for a much larger sum which will be used to build eventually a modern fireproof building. The students are now housed in temporary quarters secured in the vicinity. It was the boys' dormitory which caught and was consumed, together with all the clothing of most of the students living in the building. The school exists almost entirely on subscriptions and not having an endowment the loss by fire is keenly felt. It is thought that by the time the next school term opens suitable arrangements will be made for housing all students. There is only one really modern structure on the campus. It is the Alice Freeman Palmer building, which was recently completed. Damage of about $1,000 to this building was sustained when its window frames were ignited by the heat from the burning dormitory. Washington, N. C. Washington, N.

December 28th, will he Wem- man's Day, Mrs. Jennie Hunter of HANS KINDLER, GREAT ARTIST, IN CONCERT By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. It seems, from the recital of Hans Kindler, which was given under the auspices of the Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute on Tuesday night, December 9, that one of the distinctions which must be added to his many rare qualities is that of never falling into commonplace interpretation or colorless intonation. The audience which crowded Ogden Hall on the night of Kindler's recital never re- lapsed into boredom, for through- his expression, his tonal effect, and his consummate mastering of every technical difficulty were such that time and again he was called back upon the stage to satisfy the audience with encores. It was a memorable evening, and not a little credit for the unqualified success of it belongs to the Hampton choir of sixty voices and the Hampton Institute Club of thirty voices under the skilled direction of Dr. Nathaniel Dett. At the piano for Mr. Kindler was Mr. Emanuel Balaban, who proved himself a rare and sensitive accompanist, heightening the effect of the program even when appearing on the same program with such a masterful musician as Kindler. Tremendous applause greeted the appearance of Kindler upon the stage. His first rendition was *Valentis* "Sonata" in five movements. He seemed to carest the exquisite tones from his instru ment, and not the least remarkable of these tones was the deep sonorous bass. This sonata was played, it seemed, with a special enthusiasm, Kindler realizing all its moods which range from the strange and shadowy in the opening movement of the barbatic triumph which ushers in the finale. Vociferous applause greeted the musicianship of the artist upon his interpretation of the light and tripping Allegro movement following the Largo movement; upon the swing rhythm which he infused into the Gavotte; upon the stately, solemn, souli piercing tones of the Adagio; and again upon his deftly executed treble runs and impressive bass tones which he wheddled from his beloved 'cello in the last movement. Insistent applause was rewarded with Bach's "Arioso", which was played with admirable warmth. Two songs, "Fierce Was Tha Wild Billow," by Noble, and, "T'll Never Turn Back No More," by Dett, came next on the program, and under the inspired direction of Dr. Dett they were admirably done by the choir. An unaccompanied "Prelude and Fygue in C Minor," by Back, was a test of this supreme artist and likewise his audience, and no more fitting tribute can be paid to the musicianship of both than that "some more Bach" was demanded. "Gavatte in G" was the encore. Perhaps, Mr. Kindler reached his greatest heights of the evening in his interpretation of Boelman's "Symphonic Variations." With characteristic disdain for anything approaching sensuousness or virtuosity for its own sake, he moulded out the tones as a sculptor might cave out of rock, the fantasies of the composers thoughts. It was a rendition and an interpretation by a musician whose depth of nature and creative capacity gave him a right to his own conception of the great work, and he impressed this conception deeply on his hearers. The familiar "Volga Boat Song" arranged by Tuhill and the "Silver Lanterns of the Night", by Redding, produced a deep impression upon the audience and the Glee Club as encores, "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" and "Father Abraham," a Negro derivative arranged by Dett. A group consisting of "Romance" by Glinka-Kindler, "Passepied" by Delibes, "Habanera", by Ravel, Kindler, and "Tarantella" by Piatti, were the concluding numbers of the program, and were received with reverberating applause. An encore, "Perpetual Motion," by Cear Cui, was the final composition which Kindler played. There was one announced encore after the playing of the "Symphonic Variations."

This first recital of the series given under the auspices of the Musical Art Society has set a standard certainly to be equalled only by other artists who stand at the pinacle of artistic achievement. The large and appreciative audience was not slaw in making its appreciation apparent, for truly Kindler's recital was that of a master. The use of oiled paper wrappers developed recently by the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, to control scald in boxed apples, has now become common among apple growers. These wrappers have not controlled apple scald completely, but they have caused such a marked reduction in this trouble that the trade recognizes them as an essential part of the industry. Another method of using oiled paper developed by the department is in the shredded form for the prevention of scald in barrelled apples. Paper in this form was tried out for some time experimentally and last year a number of commercial growers in the East used it to a small extent. It has been found that $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of the shredded oiled paper, well distributed thru the barrel, produces fairly satisfactory results. Two years ago' the county agricultural agent of Umatilla county, Oregon, made inquiry in regard to sources of pure seed of Jenkin Club wheat and ascertained through the county agent in Latah county, Idaho, that it could be obtained there. Accordingly a载load of Latah county strain" of Jenkin Club wheat was purchased by growers in Umatilla county this year 20,000 acres of Jenkin Club wheat, at least 18,000 acres of which is of the Latah county strain. This is an interesting example of variety standardization work that is a marked feature of agricultural extension work in the Northwestern States. attentio is the first factor in successful advertising The ad that is read gets results Your ads, Mr. Merchant will be read—just like you are now reading this—if you brighten them up with illustrations from the complete cut service we now furnish our advertisers in the— Norfolk Journal and Guide --- J.

With his field glasses for observation and his battery of push buttons, he is harvesting hundreds of acres. Through wireless control one man is doing the work of dozens of men. I got that picture from Dr. Alfred Goldsmith. He is chief engineer of the Radio Corporation of America, and a man who knows most precisely what he is talking about. I knew he ranked away up in front because General Harbord, who talked to you about the radio in May's FARM and FIRESIDE had sent me to see him. But my thought that this was Sunday supplement dream of the future must have shown in may face, for Dr. Goldsmith answered my unspoken doubt. "It is possible to do all kinds of field work, except heavy spring plowing, in this manner," he said. (Somehow all the scientists hedge when it comes to inventing a substitute for wrestling with the breaking plow.) "These things can be done now. They are not dreams of a distant future. Such control of farm work would be much simpler than the trick of John Hays Hammond, Jr., in making unmanned ships do figures of eight around posts or thread their way through crowded traffic in Gloucester harbor, as he has done." In theory at least, that was right, I decided. Push-button farming can be done by those who can afford it. I thought. So I hunted up Hammond. At thirty-six he has contributed a deadly explosive shell to a great war, been adviser to Uncle Sam in his navy, invented a system of wireless control so efficient that with it he could operate an unmanned battleship, developed torpedo control to such an uncanny degree that he can guide a torpedo here and there after a dodging enemy and, when it is directly in line, lock it by wireless impulse so that thereafter no power on this earth can stop it or alter its course. And he has patented more than two hundred other inventions. But we only have wars now and then, when we haven't any better sense; and if this young man can do something practical and helpful about the year-in-and year-out job of raising corn and wheat and hogs and cattle he will have acquired a real claim to fame. I asked him about Goldsmith's farm picture. "Why, of course," he said, "that is entirely practicable. It could be done quite easily." "But the cost!" I asked. "Wouldn't it be prohibitive?" "Not at all, he answered." Equipping a tractor or other gasoline-propelled farm implements with a wireless control device would add only about seven or eight per cent to the original cost of the farm implement." The further I go in my investigation of the possibilities of pushbutton farming, the offender I chuckled at the thought that I—like the queen—had "said a mouthful" that day the farmer fired me. I don't say that you can walk up to the counter and buy a mechanical hired hand, nor even find one in the mail-order catalogue—yet. But the essential process that pictured battery of automatic reapers already has been invented and practically tested as applied to war needs; and I have given you here the first concrete estimate ever made of what the adaptation of the principle to farming is going to cost you. Hammond put it this way: "A farmer can have a wireless control of distant operations as a modeate cost. You might start distant pumps, for instance, by pushing a button in your farm kitchen, or open gates that would let stock into another field, or open sluice gates in irrigation country, or send an electrical impulse that would release grain from a bin and feed cattle a mile away. Railroads Adopt Radio Control "Radio dynamic control already is being adopted by the railroads. You will hear of its general use when practical application has been worked out fully. Then, if a bridge goes out or some mistake puts two trains on the same track, the train dispatcher will be able to take trains out of control of engineers and stop them by pressing a button in his office a hundred miles away." What the railroads learn the farmer can use. I wondered what was to prevent my neighbor from feeding my cattle, or me from grinding somebody's corn in the next county when I punched my push button. But it seems that Hammond has solved that problem too. The next day after I talked with him, in fact, he sailed for Italy, land of Marconi, to sell the Italian Government a radio broadcasting system that unlocks with a key. By that same system your own farm signaling and control apparatus would have a certain combination and the pump would pump or the sluice gate open only in response to the particular signal which your tiny broadcasting plant would send out. Hammond would make no attempt to name all the various operations which a secret, moderately priced radio impulse could be made to perform on a farm. He said that was a job for an agricultural engineer. For your own instruction and amusement you might sit down some evening and try to make a list of all the various things that Hammond's push button could be made to do for you. For it is coming. Radio broadcast secrecy will mean this to you. Your Grange, your Farm Bureau Federation, or your coop will be able to operate broadcasting stations with programs for you and you only. The program will contain the kind of market information you need in your business, educational matter having direct use to you, and the sort of entertainment programs you like best, and not something hashed up by a smart young man in a great city who has never seen a farm except from a car window. Or you can pay a small fee and take a college course, or subscribe to a winter of grand opera. You push a button or turn a key, but it must be the right button or the right key. What's more, you are going to be able to take a seat in the "baldehead row" in a Broadway theatre without paying any railroad fare to get there or worrying about what's happened on the farm since you left. For you won't leave. By the same token—should your farm be a very big one—you can have a "radio eye" on a hill, or perched on top of a pole, and with its help have a look at the far corner of your domain without moving a step. Yes, I know you have heard this NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE —or something like it before. So had I. But Hammond yanked it out of the speculative stage when he told me: General Utility M "I have perfect oral utility motor Radio Vision Promised "We shall have radio vision within five years. Aready I have seen the shadow of my hand, in motion, transmitted by radio. "Within five years television will give everybody an opportunity to see and hear every great event, to witness the opera in New York and Chicago, the great sport contest or political convention; and from our homes we will see and hear better than the majority of those who are actually in attendance." "This will be too expensive for the average pocketbook?" I asked. "The instrument that will receive what some call wireless moving picture will cost about the same as the present receiving set." Heimmond replied. "It will not be a great deal more complicated." Most of us can afford to wait five years, and we will manage to pay for and operate a television set if it is no more expensive or complicated than radio. Finally, I went to see Dr. Nikola Telsa, who announced recently that he had perfected a method of transmitting power by radio. He declares he is prepared to transmit millions of horsepower without wires, of which you, out there on your farm, can take for your own use as much as you happen to need. This, it seemed to me, would be pretty near the ideal limit of push-button farming. Edison of England Experiments Prof. A. M. Low, who is called "the Edison of England," proved this theoretically possible when he destroyed a metal wire at the distance of three feet by radio-electric energy. But it took a lot of power to do a little work, and most of the energy was lost. Telsa says he can transmit power with a loss of less than four per cent. "I am confidently, expecting that by far the greatest part of the energy which we use will be transmitted by my system," he told me. "The system has been fully developed and demonstrated experimentally. "To make it understandable to the layman: Suppose the earth were a hollow reservoir into which water is forced by a pump. In my system energy is released by something like a combination can draw from the source. "The generating stations will cost several millions of dollars. The largest generator now in operation is of 100,000 horsepower. I have plans prepared for operating several units in a single system, each unit consisting of a specially designed generator capable of developing 500,000 horsepower. "I would utilize all our waterpower, use coal at the mine and from it generate gas, which in turn would be used to generate electricity. I wanted the fact that would be of use to you who read this article and live far from power lines. I asked about the receiving plant you would have to install in order to light your farm and drive pumps and motors and farm machinery. "You could put the receiving plant in your hat," he replied. "What?" I thought I hadn't heard correctly. Receiving Sets Small "So big," he said, measuring. "I said you could put it in your hat—a small box and a wire leading to the ground, and a key." "And what will it cost?" "Nothing, comparatively'—a shrug. "Say, $10." I don't shrug $10 off as nothing, but I let that pass in my amazement. And then he exploded a mine. At least it was such for me, for I was trying to picture all the things you could do with a gadget that was only as big as your hat and cost $10, but which would tap for you as much of the power of Niagara as you needed on your farm. "But you must remember," Tela said, "that electrical power is not the cheapest power." "If the so-called super-power system were in operation and we had harnessed all our water power, were burning coal at the pit mouth, and had overcome the impediment of distance and losses of transmission system, we could not even then expect to deliver power for less than $100 per horsepower per year. It is more likely that the cost would run $12 to $15. A small farm might get along with two horsepower, at, say $25. But a good farm should have at the least estimate, 10 horsepower. That would mean nearly $150 for power, in addition to installation of equipment; and interest on it." General Utility Motor Fool-proof "I have perfected a unique general utility motor that will be of even greater importance to the farm. "It is an ideally simple gas turbine—a series of disks mounted and arranged to rotate around a central shaft." It has been striped of all complications. 'It is practically foolproof and requires almost no attention. It needs almost no lubrication. "You could box it up and it would operate for years without attention, using any cheap fuel. "Running at reasonable speeds it will produce three to five times more power than any automobile engine of equal weight. "Run at highest speed it will give me ten times as much power as a motor car engine of equal weight. "It will produce the cheapest power yet known." You know, better than I, what that would mean to your farm. Telsa is another man who ought to know, very precisely indeed, what he is talking about. Edison is our electrical wizard, but it was Telsa who conceived or invented that alternating current which has made possible to carry electricity over wires for our use. Billion are invested in plants for the manufacture of this "Telsa type" of electricity. We have taken quite a junt in this piece, and we have listened to three wise men who come bringing rare gifts for the farmer. I'm not very old, but I came home one day as a small boy and excitedly told of street cars that ran on strings, and without any horses attached. And a little later I argued out in a shanty on the back of the lot, that there couldn't be any such thing as a horseless carriage. So I content myself with a "here it is, take it or leave it" attitude regarding the wonders herein related. But I hope that ex-boss of mine reads this, for I believe "push-button" farming isn't so very far around the corner after all.

This hall will start with the busts of Steinmetz, Bell, Edison, the Wright brothers, Eli Whitney, Ericson, Fulton, Mergenthaler, and Morse. This seems to us a better thing than the celebrated Hall of Fame at New York University. The New York Hall of Fame takes in all lines of human endeavor, thus it will become overcrowded in time if it is not so now. In the preceding paragraph we named nine men in the field of invention alone, and doubtless there are forty more who deserve a like memorial. In twenty years the hall of inventors will probably be filled. In our opinion there should be a separate hall for each kind of genius-statesmanship, art, literature, philanthropy, music and science. We hope, too, that the new idea will be much more liberal than that which motivates the judges who make the selections for the New York Hall of Fame. These judges excluded Edgar Allen Poe for years because he had led an irregular life. Now, what did Poe's morals have to do with the quality of his writings? On such grounds, Shakespeare and Goethe would be excluded. With this issue the JOURNAL AND GUIDE completes twenty-four years of continuous publication. Looking back over these years we appear to us as so many milestones in the path of opportunity. The paper has grown much in physical dimensions and assets, and in circulation, but the best thing it has derived from the past twenty-four years has been the increasing opportunities which have come to it for useful service. Some of these have not been rich in fulfillment but altogether they have been full of experiences which broadened and heightened our understanding and appreciation of a newspaper's highest duty. As we approach the New Year we have but one resolve, and that is to strive with unabated zeal and earnestness to render larger, more acceptable service. To an ever increasing circle of readers and advertising clientele we extend our hearty thanks and appreciation and the wish that they may enjoy a happy and prosperous New Year. Making Sentiment Against Lynching What the number of lynchings this year lacked in volume Nashville, Tennessee, made up in atrocity a few days ago, when a mob entered a hospital in that city, took a dying fifteen-year old boy from a bed and lynched him in a most horrible manner. The boy had been charged with shooting and wounding a man, who also shot, and mortally wounded him. The action of this mob, which was without recent precedent for brutality, stirred the citizens of Nashville to instant repudiation of lynch law and deep resentment for the disgrace brought upon the city, which had not witnessed a lynching before in thirty years. The Chamber of Commerce offered a reward of $5,000 for the apprehension and conviction of the mob members, and the community arose as one man, backed up by the press and pulpit, in strong condemnation of the lynchers. Such reaction to mob violence will ultimately result in its suppression. The identity of mobs cannot remain hidden and members of mobs cannot go unpunished when public sentiment in a community is as clearly and unitedly against lynching as has been evidenced by the authorities and citizens of Nashville. Mr. Duke's Gift To Education James E. Duke, in giving $40,000,000 for the establishment of a first-class university in the South, has made the greatest gift to education since the Rockefeller foundation. We hope, however, that us are different from those of the Omaha pork packer who visited Harvard university some years ago and had a friend President Eliot. Said the pork packer a strong German accent: "I will have college in Zininetta shust like his Harvard, ze buildings everyday." "But, I died Dr. Eliot, 'buildings are not what I make a great university. Where so many get the ideals, the traditions, of a Hail?' "Oh, zat is nuttings," said the pork packer "I will buy dem along vid ze buildive ze money." Now, if Mr. Duke's idea of a great university is merely an enormous acreage of halls and laboratories he will accrue something for the merely physicists of the South, but he will achieve so far greater if his university becomes a great center of thought, opening up new mentality and morality of the Sozializing racial-relationships and state-four-square for the rights of man. Significant gift, if used in the right spirit, be the finest thing ever done for man. James B. Duke, in giving $40,000,000 for the establishment of a first-class university in the South, has made the greatest single gift to education since the Rockefeller Foundation. We hope, however, that his ideas are different from those of the Cincinnati pork packer who visited Harvard University some years ago and had a talk with President Eliot. Said the pork packer, with a strong German accent: "I will have a college in Zininetta shust like dis Harvard, ze yard, ze buildings everyday." "But, sir," replied Dr. Eliot, "buildings are not all that make a great university. Where shall you get the ideals, the traditions, of a Harvard?" "Oh, zat is nuttings," said the packer, "I vill buy dem along vid ze buildings. I have ze money." Now, if Mr. Duke's idea of a great university is merely an enormous acreage of cosly halls and laboratories he will accomplish something for the merely physical needs of the South, but he will achieve something far greater if his university becomes a great center of thought, opening up the narrow mentality and morality of the South, humanizing racial relationships and standing four-square for the rights of man. His magnificent gift, if used in the right spirit, can be the finest thing ever done for the South. Taxation and Justice One of the reasons for President Obama's re-election by such a tremendous city was the presence of Andrew Mellon cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury takes a man of Mr. Mellon's business One of the reasons for President Coolidge's re-election by such a tremendous plurality was the presence of Andrew Mellon in his cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. It takes a man of Mr. Mellon's business calibre to figure out a way to reduce the oppressive taxation which has hampered business development and to reduce it without hurting the National finances. It requires no expert economist to detect glaring inconsistencies in the present system of taxation. The man who puts his money into the development of his business is loaded with heavy surtaxes, but the man of hoarded millions puts them into tax-exempt bonds and escapes almost scot-free. It is absurd that Senator Couzen, who is worth $30,000,000, has to pay only $5,000 income tax. He and hundreds of others simply buck their fortunes safely away and enter into our incomes. Some way should we make this money back into pre-taxes, us that and National. Why should a man who makes $100,000 by the sweat, of his brain have to give up a goodly part of it while the man who receives $100,000 income from tax-exempt bonds pays nothing? Why should business initiative he paralyzed while buried money is encouraged. It has been said that to subject public bonds to taxation would keep needed money away from the government. Before the income tax was thought of the local and National governments could always raise all the money they needed. They can do so again.

At the instance of Secretary Hughes a conference of the Powers was held in Washington to end this disarray. It was there agreed that naval armament should be limited to the following region—America, 5; England, 5; Japan, 3. The world applauded the compact and we thought we had done a great thing. It begins to appear that there was a joker in the compact. After three years of scrapping ships we find that our navy is not equal to England's and little if any superior to Japan's. England scrapped only her old ships and retained the new ones, but four of our capital ships are from thirteen to fifteen years old, and it is obvious that any battleship built before the late war is out of date. We take these figures from Sidney G. Koon, one of the Navy Department chiefs during the war.

We had letting things slide until then us, and then without preparation an enemy who is prepared to be. So far we have got away our war. We are deficient in the relative speed of ships as well as in numbers. Besides, even if the proposed ratio had been followed and our fleet were five-thirds as large as Japan's it would not be superior in actual warfare. To fight Japan we should have to send our fleet six thousand miles, and in these days of mines and submarines it is doubtful if they would all get to Japan, and after getting there we would have to fight Japan on ground of her own choosing. Furthermore, she would be at her own naval base; we would be three thousand miles from Hawaii, our nearest great base. It is time we woke up. We have a habit of letting things slide until the crisis is upon us, and then without preparation we meet an enemy who is prepared to the last button. So far we have got away with it — so far. --- Spirit of the Press Self-Education ville Enterprise. education in relation to the race p. two kinds, namely that education active and tends to bring to the mind the facts of injustice, and a true understanding of the education which is subject tends towards the betterment collectively and individually.

Education in relation to the race problem is of two kinds, namely that education which is objective and tends to bring to the white man's mind the facts of injustices to the race and a true understanding of the Negro, and that education which is subjective in that it tends towards the betterment of the race, collectively and individually. We have spoken of what has been done and should be done to show the white man that we are not as bad as we are painted—to bring to his attention wrongs to which we are subjected and indignities which we undergo not without protest. We have urged a policy of constant protest that the white man may not think that we accept these evils as a matter of course. We believe thoroughly in this policy on the theory that a "laissez faire" attitude has rarely, if ever, brought the desired end, but we would not have it thought that here is not a duty imposed upon us to forever seek self-improvement. Self-education is a vital element in the solution of the race problem. We have many shortcomings as a race and as individuals. We need more formal education. We need more money, to aid our schools that they may turn out more leaders and more well-educated citizens. Endowment funds should be subscribed to freely, for we can not forever depend upon what the white philanthropist will hand out for Negro education. We need to pay more attention to our personal appearances, not that clothes make the man, but cleanliness and neatness makes a fundamental impression upon those who would think evil of us. We need to watch our manners especially in public places, for one rude colored man is looked upon as the rule rather than as the exception. We need to cultivate a main which is neither so bold that it is offensive, not yet so timid that apparently expected indignities will be offered. In short we must study ourselves and our faults and seek to improve every day in every way. Self-education for the races should be given well-merited thought by the colored man and woman during this Education Week.

While he had the right to oppose Roberts or anybody else, he chose to think of the guilty problem: children and assembling a reason Monday Night's Crime It is a long time between lynchings in Davidson county. The affair of last night was the first of the kind in thirty years. Of course it should not have taken place. Those who committed the outrage blundered in a way that hurts the fair fame of this entire community. Not that the victim deserved less than death for the premeditated and cruel crime he committed, the attempted murder of a good citizen of Notenville, which is in Williamson county. He had been brought to Nashville to the General Hospital and was taken from there by a body of masked men, carried near the scene of the murder and there, just within the Davidson county line, was hanged and riddled with bullets. There is little doubt that he would have been found guilty by an impanelled jury and should his victim die, have been given the death sentence, which would have been the law's proper and inevitable course, and would have been approved. There is but one excuse, and it should in this instance carry no weight, that can be made for the mob. It may be based upon the decision of that Chicago judge who gave to two criminal perverses the leniency of life sentences for as dastardly a murder as was ever perpetrated, on the ground that they were youths; not of age. The Negro who shot down the Nolensville merchant was not of legal age. His criminal instincts, however, as in the case of the Chicago youths, were fully developed and mature. It was an outrageous violation of every tenet of justice and has paved the way for many crimes. When judges do wrong, the law loses public respect. The local mob's execution was ultra vires the outcroping and full development of barbarous disrespect for law. It was an unjust asperation cast upon this entire section. It hurts us as a community and will bring fresh condemnation upon the civilization of the entire South. There is no extenuation so far as the outside world is concerned in asserting, however truthfully, that such mob methods are condemned here that they do not represent our civilization, that such mobs are rare and that the prosecution was great. The outstanding facts, which alone the outside world will contemplate, are that the Negro was lynched and his lynchers were white men. The reputation of our community, of our entire section for culture, for enlightenment, for respect for law and fair play will not stand for aught against the heinousness of such an act by a few men whose reasons were inflamed by the desire for vengeance and whose indignation could not be tempered by any cool consideration of the reputation of the community. Nor is there any palliation for the crime in the fact that elsewhere, in all sections alike, lynch methods from time to time prey. The South and this community have been advancing rapidly in social and material development, have been fast gaining the respect of the rest of the world for their efforts to put down mob acts, to uphold the law, to bring the courts into general respect and to deserve the esteem of all men. Such an outrage as that of last night sets us far back again, covers us with the dark mantle of general condemnation. Those who participated in the crime, greater far than that of the guilty. Negro who shot down a good citizen in cold blood, defied the law in order to wreak their brutal vengeance—for them there can be no excuse. It is now up to the law, to our courts to show that the law is stronger than its violators and that the courts, which would have dealt rightly, by the Negro murderer, are strong enough to deal summarily with the members of the mob, who defied both law and courts. Every mother's son of them should be run down and reveled and then indicted and brought to trial. Their names can be learned and they can be arrested. In this county there are officers of the law whose duty it is to investigate and arrest. They must go to it at once and there must be no failure. Our people will should be them for quick action and A Blood Spot on the Communitiy Last Friday night Ike Eastwood, a Nolensville grocer, discovered two Negroes in the act of stealing parts of his automobile. In an exchange of shots which followed Eastwood was shot and he in turn shot one of the Negroes. The victim of Eastwood's gun proved to be he Samuel Smith, a boy fifteen years old. He was taken a prisoner to the General Hospital. Eastwood was taken to St. Thomas Hospital, where the authorities on Monday declared him to be on the road to recovery. Monday night at midnight a masked mob entered the General Hospital, forced its way into the Negro ward and seized the Negro boy, carried him to the scene of his crime, hung him and then riddled his body with bullets. For the mob it was the end of a perfect night. For Nashville and Davidson county it was a challenge to take stock and decide whether the law or the mob is to prevail. No more dastardly crime has ever been committed in this city. The invasion of the hospital was a cowardly act in itself. The premeditated murder of a helpless victim stigmatized the community no less than it branded the murders with a red stain that will not wash off. It was a reversion to jungle methods, to the rule of the beast, which the God-fearing citizens of this commonwealth will not tolerate. No act committed in this vicinity so instantly aroused the citizenship. Ringing resolutions by church and civic organizations give ample evidence of the reaction on the public mind. But resolutions are not enough. They may salve the conscience. But they will not satisfy the demands of justice. They will not restore to Nashville that unblemished reputation for law and order that she enjoyed up until midnight Monday. The good name of this city must be restored. The bloody blot must be erased. The perpetrators of this outrage must be hunted down and brought to the bar of justice. This is the least the law-abiding people of the city can insist upon. All over the country today the Nashville mob is the theme of the leading editorials. We as a community are condemned and held up to scorn for the act of a despicable group more criminal in every respect than the victim of their blood lust. The city of Vanderbilt, of Pea- body, of Ward-Belmont; the city of schools and churches; the city of homes; the city where a great religious revival is now in its last week—Nashville is plunged from its pinnacle of decency and morality to the level of the lowest form of savagery. Then what are we to do about it? Are we to accept this verdict of moral degeneracy that the mob has written to us, or are we to rise above our shame and our humiliation and ferret out the denizens of the jungle who prowl among us and redeem ourselves in the eyes of the state and of nation? There is no choice. We have no alternative. The law of the state has been disregarded. The good name of the city has been beimirched. The manhood of every decent citizen of the community has been challenged. And we'll be men enough, please God, to meet the challenge. short of a complete roundup up of every culprit who was party to the lynching crime. To Encourage Co-operation With School-Officers Cordial and unrestrained co-operation with school officers and teachers is essential to the highest success of parent-teacher associations. Even more, without that co-operation the association is likely to produce discord and, consequently, actual harm to the schools whose interests they are designed to promote. In order to help parent-teacher associations to inform themselves before they begin a campaign in any phase of school betterment, the United States Bureau of Education has planned a series of "home education letters" to be issued monthly for the use of those QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY Boston Journal and Guide. Sir: Please accept my congratulations on the rating you received on your paper in the article that appeared in Opportunity under the title "Outstanding Negro Newspapers." I always felt that you were running one of the best newspapers of the race. This rating verifies my opinion in this respect. JOHN M. GANDY, Petersburg, Va. Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere. If of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. Should we not prefer to be called "Ethiopians" instead of Negroes?" W. L. B., Philadelphia, Pa. A. No. S. speaking Ethiopian is national designation and we are Ethiopians. We are African or African descent. What is the matter with "Negro," if used racially? Negro blood is a wonderful blood and quite worthy of glory and consideration. We should be proud to be called Negro. Q. What are seven wonders of the ancient world? W. Q. S., Pensacola, Fla. A. The seven wonders of the ancient world were the Pyramid of Cheops, the Wall of Babylon, the Statue of the Olympian Zeus, the Temple of Diana, the Tomb of King Muasolus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Pharos of Alexandria. They were all the work of peoples either African or of African descent. BOOK CHAT THE NEGRO FACES MERGICA. by Herbert J. Seligmann, second edition with new foreword. Mr. B. be secured with a $100 SISI $90 Avenue, New York. Price $1.00 postpaid. This was one of the first books that I reviewed when I began Book Chat a little over three years ago. A review every two weeks, eighty reviews in all, of books dealing with a monious subject. Some have been more important than others, but no one has gathered together material on the happenings between the races in recent years so well as this book of Mr. Seligmann's. And now it is reprinted in popular edition for the low price of one dollar, its heavy paper cover likely to endure almost as well as a cloth one. The excellent foreword brings the book up-to-date. The chapters deal with Race Riots, The South's color Psychosis, Anthropology and Myth, Certain Effects of the War, The Scapegoat of City Politics, The Negro in Industry, The American Congo, (what a gorgeous title for the Mississippi), Social Equality and Sex and the New Negro. It is a story of facts and opinion. The race riots of Chicago, Omaha, Washington and other cities are described, and especially the Elaine, Arkansas cases with a chapter on present peonage conditions. We learn much of the progress of the Negro in industry. But it is in his treatment of Opinion that this writer, with his caustic wit, deals his best blows. Such unction words as he loves to quote from the Southerners; William B Smith of Tulane University New Orleans, especially comes in for his satire. Indeed Mr. Smith's book is a gem of its kind, a book now hard to get but which lives in the pages of "The Negro Faces America." "The South is entirely right," Smith says, "in keeping open at all times and at all hazards and at all sacrifices an impassable social chasm between black and white." One remembers the insults that the colored delegates to the "National Conference of Social Work" had to endure when they were in New Orleans, and realizes that this professor perhaps more than any other one man is responsible for the rudeness and stupidity that clings to his city's name. His preaching is being carried out in the efforts today to create a black ghetto in New Orleans. We realize as we go through the book that science is showing us the great difference between Editor of Journal and Guide Sir:-I want to especial comment your paper for givin the public educational informa- tion instead of so much sensa- tional gossip.

Starting if the various mental procex which are recognized in his books, he can assert that each these processes is within the abilities of every group of kind.
