Norfolk Journal and Guide North Carolina Chief Executive Thinks Lad Irresponsible in Killing And Commutes Sentence To Life. GOVERNOR'S ORDER SENT IN NICK OF TIME (Special to the Journal and Guide) Raleigh, N. C., April 3—Albert Harleigh, 18 year old race youth was saved from the electric chair by Governor McLean on March 27, because he was "not fit to die." Acting upon recommendations from the trial judge, solicitor and jury and prominent Robertson county citizens, and on the ground of mental irresponsibility, the Governor commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment 60 minutes before the hour for the execution. Execution A Species of Lega Vinder "I confess, that the infliction of death penalty in this case would in my opinion, amount to a species of legal murder," Judge Henry A. Grady, who presided over the Superior Court, wrote the Governor. "You might ask why I did not set the verdict aside. It was because I felt certain that you would communicate the sentence, and I so stated at that time; and if I had set it aside I could only send him up for thirty years and you can make it for life--as it should be. He is not fit to be at large; but he is also not fit to die. Harlee was convicted of first degree murder at the February term of Roherson Superior Court. He shot a white merchant at Red Springs with robbery as his motive. All the petitions and recommendations submitted to the Governor urging commutation of sentence registered the conviction that Harlee was weak mentally that he could not understand the consequence of his act. A graphic contrast between the state of the nations of medieval history that rejected or had not the knowledge of the Christian religion and the people of the present time who adhere to the teachings of Christ, was drawn by Rev. C. M. Long, pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church last Sunday morning in a sermon on the subject: "The Past and Present State of the Christian." The ledge of the Christian religion and the people of the present time who adhere to the teachings of Christ, was drawn by Rev. C. M. Long, pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church last Sunday morning in a sermon on the subject: "The Past and Present State of the Christian." The minister was closing out a series of sermons he has been preaching three consecutive Sundays. "Ideal sanctification is what the church needs as well as the individual, and today the world wonders why so much preaching is done for church people," was the striking assertion around which centered his concluding sermon. "To confess Jesus Christ is one specific act; to develop as a Christian should develop is another. Progressive sanctification is that in which we grow more and more the Blessness of our Lord.

Apply to Four-Year-Old Girl Burned To Death STEPS ARE TAKEN BY LABOR BUREAU TO OUSTOR.PLECKER Secretary Davis Declares Issuance of Pamphlets Without Authority; Doctor Denies Literature Is Offensive. THINKS NEGROES OUGHT TO LIKE HIS "STUFF" New York, N. Y., April 3—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that it is in receipt of a letter from Secretary of Labor Davis, stating that steps have been taken to cancel Dr. Plecker's appointment as special agent in the department who stated that the bulletins issued by Dr. Plecker were entirely without the scope of his authority. Following the receipt of notice that the N. A. A. C. P. had charged him with "using the government franking privileges to spread propaganda derogatory to the Negro race," and had demanded his dismissal as special agent in the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, Dr. W. A. Plecker, registrar of the Virginia State Bureau of Vital Statistics, issued a statement denying that any of his pamphlets contained literature "insulting or offensive." The particular pamphlet which is regarded by the entire Negro race as containing statements decidedly derogatory to Colored Americans and highly offensive is entitled "Eugenics in Relation to the New Family and the Law on Racial Integrity." The statements complained of by the colored people to which the attention of President Coolidge and Secretary Davis' has been called by the Association are: "The mental and moral characteristics of a black man cannot even under the best environments and educational advantages become the same as those of a white man." "Not only do the most enlightened modern authorities recognize Negro inferiority and the danger of amalgamation, but leading Americans in the past also until the issue was confused by being thrown into politics, saw clearly the possibility of disaster to our institutions and culture. "There is but one absolute solution which is acceptable as feasible, and that one advocated by Lincoln and other farsighted statesmen of the past, the separation of the races by gradual repatriation (deportation) of the colored races. This measure is still possible, but the longer it is deferred the greater the task. "Let us turn a deaf ear to those who would interpret Christian brotherhood to mean racial equality." Dr. Plecker takes the view in his statement of this week that all of the foregoing is educational and deals with health matters designed to be helpful to the Negro. He evidently feels that what he hands out here Negroes ought to relish. He says it is regarded as offensive only by supersensitive people. The N. A. A. C. P.'s letter to Secretary Davis said: "Dr. Plecker is an avowed anti-Negro propagandist who is continually expressing his views in the public prints and on the platform. What he has to say threes theses two mediums is insulting to all Colored American citizens, but when as an official of the United States Department of Labor he sends this matter out under government frank and at the expense of the common tax-payers, his actions become a public outrage." A copy of the letter was also sent to President Coolidge.

INITIAL BEGAN ANOTHER BUSINESS YEAR AGO FIRST Durham, N. C., April 3—Enclosed in a very few words, Mr. C. C. Spaulding, President of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, has summarized the strivings, the heartaches, the sorrows, the joys, the hopes and aspirations of twenty-six years. In a letter addressed to his employees he has penned a picture that needs must be interesting to the race in general. The letter follows: "Dear Co-Workers: "You can imagine the pleasure is gives me to write you this letter on this our twenty-sixth anniversary. We began a business April 1, 1899, with nothing but confidence in our race and an abiding faith in God. You have trusted us and that trust has not and will never be abused or betrayed by us. Think of it! Twenty-six years ago we simply had an idea. Today you have a company with an annual income of over two million dollars, with over two million in safely invested assets; a company that has paid its policyholds in claims over five million; a company with over forty-two million of insurance in force on the lives of policyholders in twelve states. While we have served you faithfully for twenty-six years we have not finished our task. However, we have trebled our assets during the last five years. As we grow in years we take advantage of our experience to render more effective service to our group. Those who have followed our career closely will agree with us that we have been a real service station, having come to the rescue of scores of our people whose backs were against the wall as they stared helplessly in the face of proceedings instituted for the purpose of fore-closing on all the property they had. We have served our people to the tune of over a million dollars in first mortgage loans. Our motto is and always has been a square deal to everybody; and the more defenseless the client, the more obligated we feel. The plain people to a great extent are responsible for the company's existence and are entitled to our very best consideration. April is a sort of reminiscence month. We pause to pay our respent to those two heroes who began with us but have fallen asleep, but heroes whose spirits are overshadowing us and expecting us to carry on. We feel sure of success if we maintain the ideals of our former leaders. With your cooperation we will do it. Yours for twenty-six more years of real service.

ALLEGED RUNNER OF MOB TAKES WHITE RUM FOUND DEAD PRISONER FROM JAIL IN HIS AUTOMOBILE MUTILATES BODY Illicit Whiskey Claims Another Victim Who Is Believed To Have Met With Foul Play On His Route. TWO WOMEN LODGED IN PRISON ON SUSPICION (Special to Journal and Guide) Laurringburg, N. C., April 3— The illicit whiskey business claimed another victim late last Saturday night, when Roosevelt Little, race taxi driver of Laurringburg, met a horrible death on the road between Laurringburg and Red Springs. Little had been making frequent trips out of town for the purpose of bringing in whiskey. He had worked up a thriving trade when the officers grew suspicious several weeks ago, and catching him with the goods, arrested and bound him over to the April Superior Court. His family and his friends begged him to have nothing more to do with the whiskey traffic, but his former patrons evidently over persuaded him, and Saturday night it is supposed he started out after a load of "white lightning." He drove to his aunt's home and asked one of his cousins to accompany him, but they re- faxed and he drove of alone.. Legs Horrily Burned On Sunday morning last a man driving to Maxton noticed a Ford car at the foot of the embankment on the edge of a creek. Upon investigation he discovered that the car had been burned almost completely up and that the driver on the front seat had his legs burned nearly to cinders. A policeman and others were summoned and Little was identified. Across his head was a terrible gash from a blow that is supposed to have caused his death. The assault is thought to have killed Little, then pushed d the car over the embankment, saturated his legs with gasoline and set fire to him. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Roosevelt Little came to his death from a blow on his head inflicted by persons unknown. Two women are under suspicion and every effort is being made to bring the criminal to justice.

HUSBAND SHOT BY WIFE IN DOMESTIC TRIANGLE ALLEGED (Special to the Journal and Guide) Goldsbore, N. C. April 3—Marshall Bennett, proprietor of a successful cafe here, on East Spruce street, lies dangerously wounded in a local hospital with a bullet lodged in his head just above the right eye, while his wife, Maeg, is in jail with a charge of felonious assault docketed against her. She is accused of shooting her husband. Attending physicians hold out slight hope for Bennett's recovery. The shooting which occurred Friday noon is said to have precipitated when the cafe proprietor apprised his wife in a room with another man named Zelie Smith in the home of Mrs. Bennett's niece. The husband is alleged to have left his place of business and gone home, where he was told that his wife had gone to the home of her niece. He went to look for her and on arriving at the niece's home asked to speak to his wife, it is said. On entering the house he was warned by Mrs. Bennett to "come no farther." He failed to heed her warning, and on entering the room in which she was the shooting took place. Mrs. Bennett pleads self-defense and charges that her husband was approaching her with a drawn razor when she fired on him. The sheriff, who arrested the woman, stated that no razor was found on Bennett when he arrived on the scene, and there was nothing to indicate that one had been displayed. Smith is alleged to have left town following the shooting, but officers are said to be in hot pursuit of him. Neighbors of the Benetts claim that Mrs. Bennett shot at her husband twice on the night previously. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers ON PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR LIFE Death CHILD'S CLOTHES IGNITE PLAYING WITH MATCHE CHILD'S CLOTHES IGNITE PLAYING WITH MATCHE Frantic Efforts of Woman Made To Extinguish Blaze And Save Victim's Life Prove Unavailing.

"Why a An apprecrative audience com- posed of school teachers of Norfolk and Portsmouth and a number of visitors listened for_an hour to an address by Dean Dwight Holmes ‘of the Sehool of Education of How- urd University in the Booker, T. Washington school auditorium ‘Monday afternoon. The address was characterized by those who heard it as a being a “literary jyem" fraught, with practical and interesting information, | Dean Tfolmes told the teachers that it. was hisdesire that they feel jas he does, that they are engaged in ‘the highest occupation in which a ‘person could enage—taking the hu- pun soul and developing it, He said the teachers were the most ‘conservative clements in their re- spective communities excepting the preachers, while they should be the jinost progressive, Dr. Holmes ex- ‘plained this statement by saying ‘that teachers are inclined to teach from books: teach subject matter ‘that is crystallized, embalmed, and ‘are in the habit of telling students ‘what the book says is right. He illustrated the point by stating that in Washington, D.C, children are ‘hein taughe from books that say Russia is ruled by a Czar and that ‘Germany has an Emperor. A doc- tor and a lawyer diseards old ‘ideas, the Dean said, as rapidly as ‘they heeame obsolete, but a teacher pholds fast to then. | He called attention to the rapid [progress humanity is making, stat- in that in his opinion it has always moved up by steps instead of as- suming a gradual incline. Great jenochs, ov social vetormations marked the steps by which human- ity moves upward, he declared in ‘effect, and pointed to the World ‘War as marking a big step up in ‘human aspittions and the advance [of science and discoveries. America has committed itself to ‘universal cdueation and is expend- ing gigantic sums in that diree- tte, Teachers and educators will have to give an account of the uses to which these vast sums have been pul in tie near future: America will want to know of the value that is being received, the speaker declared, and there will come a weeding out of the inefficient teacher, He urged the teachers to prepare themselves for the day whea their work will be actually ‘and. scientifically measured.

Heavy Downpour: of Rain Failed T 0 Keep Away Me- dium Size Audience Of Mu- sie Lovers. ‘The Hampton Institute Glee Club was breught to St. John’s. Church Friday evesing, Mareh 27, under the auspices of the St. John’s Brotherlwod {> ap3oar in. recital under the dirersorsnip of the noted composer-piani"t, Dr. R, Nathaniel Dett, Mach rese to the occasion magnificently, welcoming the vis- iting musicians, just returned from recent triumphs at Carnegie Hall in New York City, with a deluge of wind-driven rain before, during and aiter the concert. A mod- erately sized audience of music lovers braved the fury of the cle- ments, however, and were well re- warded for their efforts. From the moment the singers arose at the appointed note in their opening song, “Salutation” by Gaines, to. the nobly executed fi nals, “Bedouin Song” by Foote, there were interpretations of folk song and of classical compositions which demonstrated that, beyond 2 doubt, the group of singors and Soloists under und including Dr. Dett. must be ranked among the clite of the music world. The versatility of the singers was indicated to a very delightful degree in their renditions of clas- sics, of original Negro folk songs, and of arranged folk songs. The singers seemed at home equally in one realm of music as in xn- other. Dr. Dett’s direction was guided by impeccable musiciamship, and he brought out tremendous effects without exaggeration which might in any way be classed as sens- tional, His prosentation of the Leautiful music that floaded the program had a breadth and rich- ness that ave not often the share of the local audiences, Aside from the chorus singing of tie entire Glee Club, there were vocal and instrumental _ soloists. Aubrey Pankey, hivitone; Regi- nal Swain, baritone, Othello Wil- son, tenor; Claude Amis, haritone; Giles Mills and Benjamin Richard: son, saxophone ductists; and Dr. Dett. pianist, all added’ very ma: terially to the pleasure of the even- ing, ’ Tho Glee Club itself sank then- ty selections. Ail were handled with excellent technical ability, keen insight, cx- pression of depth and command, precision, and authority. The phrasing’ was especially good, and consequently the many pleasing thythmical effects were not without their pleasing qualities. The e- nunciation was clear: the tones deep. good, and well sustained thruout the rather lengthy pro- gram. In short, the songs were often. brilliantly ‘executed, and in- terpreted with due regard to mood, rhythms, and similar prases of the art of singing. Mr. Pankey sang pleasingly “I Attempt From Lovesickness To Fly” by Purcell, “Were Thou The Moon” by Dett, and “Follow Me” also by Dett, This latter was en- Feored. Mr. Swain had solo parts lin the beautiful “Her Rose” by Coontbs, and in “Wait Not But | Hear Me Love” by Thompson. The atter piece was encored, Nr. Wil- [son handled the, solo sections of Daniel Saw The Stone” and |“<Babylon’s Failing.” two Negro [Folk Songs, while Mr. Amis, sang the solo in “Father Abraham.” The saxophone duet. “O Sole Mio,” an Italian Folk’ Song, by Messrs, Mills and Richardson’ was well done. With his usual brillianey, mas- tery of expression, and musical conception. Dr. Dett played his “Dance of Desire” from “Enchant- ment Suite No. 3.” The audience insisted onan encore, Rain has twice greeted the Hamp- ton singers on trips to Norfolk, but, it seems to take away little of their ability to sing well, at least it seemed so from last Friday's re- cital.

April 3— Within the short’ space of a few months the Newport News ¥. M. C. A. court combination has become a gem in the basketball environs. In the recently successfully com- pleted campaign against college teams, David Gunn, noted four- letter man of Hampton Institute, with the magie power of a basket- ball Merlin, has lifted the stand- ard of Orange and Blue upon even terms with any colors that fly In a swift advance the “Y” team of this city has progressed from a team of mediocrity to one of ree- ognized merit. The record which it has made during the last season bears testimony to this fact, for in games against St, Paul, Hamp- ton, Shaw, Union High, Union University, Virginia Seminary, Virginia Normal Institute, and A. and T. College, the “¥" lost only to Hampton Institute, which in turn won a second successive title. Long March to Heights The Newport News Y. M. GA. started out several years ago, Mr. A. F. Williams, Secretary of the local “Y” told us, in an effort to give its young members a chance to develop as basketball players. The problem was difficult for the early coaches, for, to begin with, the same was a new form of sport and was not interesting at that time, It has been at times a long and discouraging. march to the shining days of the present; but} ) CARD OF THANKS Tew this medium, we wish co thank ow many ffhends. for the kindsies® show uring. the. cect liness of Mrs Sura Woodard, 453° Washington aveltue, 1d ‘espreiniiy, Dr. 0.

A. Taylor, now basketball coach at St, Paul, followed ghrouch | the march of years by 0. XI, Brown, 't 0. Randolph, Chas. F. McGhee, and this season by David L. Gunn, a team has been developed, as Mr. Williams said, which compares Eav- orably with ‘most teams of the country. Speaking further. on the success of the basketball team, My, Wil- liams the Sceretary, said: “Mr. Gunn has developed ‘an unusually good team I think. This sport has been the medium for much ood contact with some of the best schools and colleges of the country and has given much publicity to the 7 heres” Coach Praises Team Coach Gunn is thoroughly pleased with the team, “They are a fine bunch of players,” he said, “and I have enjoyed working and playing with them immensely They re fighters; they go into every game with but one idea—to fight hard and win fairly. It is this spirit of giving one's best every posstble moment whieh, 1 believe, contributed largely to the team’s success. In victory, as in our one defeat, they were excellent proteges and willing teammates.” Nine other players aside from Coach Gunn made up the team’s roster. King Robinson was Cap- tain during the season and a most dependable player. Were space to it the writer could cite instance af- ter instance where Robinson came through in the crucial moment. Robinson began to play in 1919 as did each member of the squad, and besides playing basketball he participates with equal suczess in haseball, football, and_ volley ball. Playing forward with Rob- inson is Linwood Brown, clusive, smooth, and expable assistant in the forwar attack. He began to play in 1918 and is outstanding in all other sports. ‘Phe third mem- ber of the galloping three who exr- ried the “Y's” offense is Clavence Pinner, a baseball player also. This finished player began his court career at the “¥” in 1918, Now, he is a popular member of the local team and one of its surest scorers, William Coleman shared the guarding duties with Gunn when the going was rough. Otherwise, he and Clifton Cooke handled tie business of breaking up opposing rallies ‘and sallies, Coleman. be- gan his playing at the “Y"’ in 1920, He engages in all other sports fur che “Y." Cooke came here in 1918, and with Coleman has been instrumental in holding down the posing Fives while alternating for his coach, Another alternate whose work, especially during the latter part of the season, was of high class order is Cannady, a for-: ward. While not consistent, Can- nady was brilliant during his pe- vids of good perfornrances. ‘Too much eredit cannot, be given the players who composed the sec-, ind string men—the men who aided che varsity to repulse so many, ams. Among these are: Isaac Coles and W, Goles, both of whom | pecan playing in 1928, and who’ participate in other sports and: William Stokes, who began in 124 rd who plays’ football and every ching.

The minister out- ined the ovt- enee stunding difficul ties in the way of progress for the rural church and sugeeateil Teme ee ge Be /: part: : “The first und foremost Institution in the open country js the rural church. It holds first pluce in spiritual and ceo- nomic life of rural people, ‘The first fereat duty Incumbent upon her is to Wild the Kingdom, und bear atoft the light of the Gospel, which leads men to ralvat‘va. “It ix for the most part the only su- cia) agenry that couatry people have. It in wacker, protector and inspiver of all roral people, “A great change in the atitude toward the rural church has come about in the last twenty-five yeurs. She was power during, the four decades from 1780 to 1810. During that time she went forth by leaps and bounds. She practiced au evangel. jem that really evaugelized. Many were Lrought into the Kingdom through the ereat rovival of thut time. “A further study of the history of the oral church discloses that she held her own from 1440 up 1870, During thes thirty years she was in the heitht of power, She made no xpprvviable pros Feat, neither did whe Ko buck, but marked time.” Afwr 1870 there were some marked social and vconomie changes, whieh start eal the church down the ineline plane, std ince thut time she has sone steadily down. “Hetore the ideal ean be renchrd as set forth in our definition of the rural church, fe will be nevensury for the chuzeh to salve many difficult problems.

ARCHBISHOP CURLEY ADDRESSES RALEIGH COLORED CITIZENS Catholic Prelate Evinces Deep Interest In Afro-American Communicants; Extended Them Special Invitations. Wilmington, N. C., April 2—Archbishop Curley of Baltimore, apostolic administrator of the newly erected diocese of Raleigh presided at the services and preached to the colored people Sunday night March 29, at 8 o'clock at St. Thomas Church, Dock street. The spiritual and intellectual progress of the colored race is a topic of the greatest concern to the archbishop; in the city of Washington, D. C., there are eight colored parishes and in the city of Baltimore, there are four large parishes and institutions exclusively for our race. These with the recently established Cardinal Gibbons Institute at Ridge, Md., for the higher education of the men and women of our race, all come under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Curley. Special invitation was extended to the colored people of the city to hear this eminent prelate. SAVED BY TELEGRAPH WIRES Sterling, Ill.—Thrown from his father's automobile in a collision three-year-old David Moore landed safely and remained in telegraph wires twelve feet above the ground. Norfolk Journal and Guide Musical Marvel Had Never Seen Piano New York, N. Y., April 3.—Clifford D. Mallory, (white) President of the Mallory Steamship Line, who returned from Nassau last week aboard the Munson liner Munargo with Mrs. Mallory, said they had taken a piano to an eleven-year old Negro girl at French Creek, on Andrews Island, and that the girl, who had never seen a piano before in her life, sat down and played with remarkable ability. Mr. Mallory and friends discovered the girl playing with a key board which she had in some way obtained. They returned to Nassau, purchased a piano and took it to the Negro child prodigy. France, freed as she has been by a declining population and dependent for her very existence upon her black subjects, has been put in a position somewhat apart from the rest of the white nations. Her fight for Haiti might be a lone battle, with England and other strong countries, quietly but firmly working against her. The American occupation of Haiti is regarded by many white Americans as a military necessity and by others, as a necessity in the accumulation of private wealth. That the natives are being abused, exploited and robbed there is abundant evidence to prove, but there is no easy way to make America turn loose its hold. WHICH IS OLDEST DENOMINATION BETHEL OR ZION Editor R. R. Wright jr., of the Christian Recorder Puts the "Show Down" On The Age of the Two Bodies. The Star of Zion, the official organ of the A. M. E. Zion Church, in a recent editorial demanded a show down from the Christian Recorder, organ' of the A. M. E. Church, as to which of the denominations is the older. Commenting editorially on this demand the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: "The Star of Zion demands a show down by the Christian Recorder as to which is the older, the Bethel or the Zion denominations of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Yes. Tell us. We all want to know." Rev. R. R. Wright Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, has forwarded a letter to the Journal and Guide in reference to the point under discussion and in the Recorder prints what he terms the "show down." His letter reads in part: "I saw your reference to the demand by The Star of Zion that The Christian Recorder show down on the question of 'age' of our different denominations. "It was all news to me, because I did not know that there was any question as to age, and I merely took the statement of my good friend, Bishop Jones, as one of the pleasantries for which he is so famous. But since he seems to take is seriously I am sending herewith what you may term the 'show down' (clipping). "I may state, however, that I am more interested in co-operation between the churches. I think that the great need of this day is, a solid line of defense and offense by the forces of righteousness, and I want to see the church, the press and all those that strive for what is good and just in our lives gets themselves together and fight the battle of righteousness. The following is what the Chris Ian Recorder has to say: WHICH IS THE OLDEST DENOMINATION? As a rule we dislike interdenominational discussions. They may breed misunderstanding and the Negro Church can least afford this. But Bishop Jones of the Zion Church is such a broad and liberal man, and Editor Davenport has so pointedly thrown down the challenge, that we, in the interest of a better understanding of the history of both denominations, present herewith some few facts, in answer to Bishop Jones' article in the Star of Zion claiming that the A. M. E. Zion Church is older than its older sister. So Bro. Davenport, here is the music. Now dawn. The United Census published an authentic account of the various denominations, which is supposed to be non-partisan and without bias. Rather than bring a large number of authorities (which of course we keep in reserve) we will quote from Vol. II of "The Census of Religious Bodies, 1906, Separate Denominations." NORFOLK, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 Paces 444ff deal with the A. M. E. Church. Under "History" we read page 445, "In 1814 the Methodist Episcopal Church elders announced that the white preachers could no longer maintain pastoral responsibility for the Colored congregations, and in 1816 Richard Allen and 15 others called a number of similar societies which had been formed in New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland to meet in Philadelphia to organize a church of dedicated persons with autonomous government. The convention held in April of that year and resulted in the organization of the African Methodist Episcopal Church." The Census book tells us that "as early as 1787 a company of colored Methodists in Philadelphia withdrew;" from the Methodist Episcopal Church. That in "1793 Bishop Ashbury dedicated in Philadelphia the Bethel Church, built by Richard Allen well-to-do Negroes." 1793 Allen later Bethel church declared its independence of the white annual conference, and, says the Census, "The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania declared in favor of Bethel Church." which thus became an independent body. Now regarding the A. M. E. Zion Church, the same authority says, page 455 "Among the early Independent Colony Methodist Congregations of the country was the one organized in New York City in 1796 by James Varick - - - others. The first church was built in 1800, and was called Zion. The next year it was incorporated as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and articles of agreement entered into with the Methodist Episcopal Church by which the latter supplied them with ordained teachers until the year 1820. Meanwhile the Methodist Church in Wilmington, Delaware Episcopal Church in Wilmington, Delaware and the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, as separate and distinct denominations, caused considerable uneasiness, and the Zion Church made application to the Methodist Episcopal Church for the ordination of its local preachers and elders. To this no answer was given, and in 1820, as the congregation had developed several preachers of ability, it formally withdrew from the supervision of white pastors, and in connection with churches which had been founded at New Haven, Conn., Philadelphia, Penna, and Newark, N. J., and or Long Island, N. Y. made plans for an entirely separate organization. The first annual conference was held in Mother Zion Church corner Church and Lost Street, Penna, and Newark, N. J., and this is interesting reasonably accurate and impartial information. We quote it because it is not connected with any church. What does it prove? 1. Bethel A. M. E. Church is the older organization than Mother Zion A. M. E. Church by several years. (The one started in 1787, the other in 1796.) Bethel had a separate church edifice long before Zion one in 1753, the other in 1800. 3. Both had white pastors; Bethesda says the report) until 1814; Zion until 1820. 4. But Bethel got an ordained preacher in 1799; Zion did not until many years thereafter. (The report says, further on that in June, 1821 at the first conference, as they had no ordained elders at this time, information was provided by the Rev. William Phoebus (white) of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Rev. Joshua Soule, (white) of the same church was made secretary. (There were not white presiding officer or secretary at the founding of the A. M. E. Church in 1816). 5. The A. M. E. Church had elders six years before the A. M. E. Zion Church, for "James Varick, Abraham Thompson and Levin Smith, were ordained, elders son and William Stillwell, all white elders of the M. E. Church June 17, 1822. So see the report. 6. The A. M. E. Church became a denomination in April, 1816 and elected a bishop, when there was not a single ordained man in the A. M. E. Z. Church. The A. M. E. Zion Church did not "formally withdraw" till 1820, and James Varney "admitted" in 1821 and signed a dint or bishop till 1822. Mother Bother A. M. E. "united" with other churches and formed a "connection" in 1816. Mother Zion did not "unite" or connect up with others till 1820. The facts as set above are also repeated substantially in the same language in the Census report on religious bodies published in 1916. Strange no enthusiasm Zion historian has yet called the national government's attention (with power there) to this serious error if such there be. Now we are not after any bitter sectarian discussion. But for the life of us we cannot see how our good friends on the other side get the idea that they are older than we. Of course we do not believe there is any great virtue in being a good friend, we will do all good to bring into the history of these two great churches. They both grew up out of about the same circumstances, they have had parallel history and have similar ambitions. And let us hope that one day they may be one. At least we hope that even this study of our beginning may serve to strengthen the bond of sympathy between us. Editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, Is that "show down" enough.

Raleigh, N. C., April 3. "Screaming" Sallie Mimms, 18-year-old heroine of a dozen sentences in the county bastile in a little more than two years and a half—is now in jail in default of bond after appealing from her thirteenth sentence from the Raleigh City Court, which was the longest she ever received, to-wit, six months. Out of the past 960 days Sallie has spent 522 in the Wake county jail, about a month in the county home and about a month in city jail, which would make her a total of approximately 580 days which she has lived at the expense of the county and city and would live her about 382 days of liberty, a large portion of which has been spent out of Raleigh, being banished by Judge W. C. Harris. Never Caught Working In spite of her slim periods of liberty while in the city of Raleigh, Sallie has been able to check them full of excitement without unnecessary labor. Police have never been able to catch her in the act of working. She has been arrested nine times on charges of "drunk and disorderly conduct," once for vagrancy, and once for assault with a deadly weapon. First official notice of Sallie by the city of Raleigh was taken on the night of August 5, 1922, when three stalwart police officers dragged 90 pounds of squawling humanity to the city jail and locked her up on a charge of vagrancy. All that night peace loving residents for blocks around police station were calling up to have the murder stopped and there was no nodding that night for the sleeping turnkey on the death watch. From that night on Sallie gained the title of "Screaming" from the policemen and since that time she has added fame to her laurels. Sallie got sixty days for that midnight serenade, explaining to Judge Harris that she was just in town from Chathan county proving unavailing. Her County Jail Record Twice Sallie was sent to the county home from the county jail but efforts to put her to work failed and each time she wandered off leaving the other inmates sighing with relief.

Mr. Storey's letter reads: "I have received from Branches of this Association all over the country the most cordial congratulations on by eightieth birthday, and most gratifying assurances of their regard for me personally. I take this means of thanking one and all for these messages of respect and affection, and as long as my health permits I shall continue to work for the cause which the Association was founded to promote. I bid them be of good cheer and persevere in their efforts. "The suits that are brought in the courts against those who violate the rights of the colored people in this country are most effective weapons, and every judgment in our favor is a precedent which discourages attacks. Let if be general understood that it is not safe to injure a colored man or woman, that lynching is dangerous to the lynchers, that the colored citizens of this country are determined to assert their rights under the constitution and laws, and those rights will be respected and the progress of the race will be more rapid.

Least of all countries of the world can the United States arrest this progress, as it was the first to announce the proposition that all men are created free and equal, and that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. "We have only to stand fast, only to persevere in asserting our rights and we cannot be heaten.

News of the City of Portsmouth and Suburban Territo PAGE TEN Ne News NEED FOR REFORMS IN MARRIAGE LAWS SAYS SAGE REPORT (Special to The Journal and Guide.) New York City, Mar. 26.—There is need for important reform in the marriage laws and their administration, and in their practice. State in the United States, according to a 150-page report on "Child Marriages," issued here today by the Russell Sage Foundation as the result of a several years' investigation extending into 90 cities in practically every section of the country. The report, which was prepared by Mary E. Richmond, under whose direction the study was conducted, with the collaboration of Fred S. Hall, takes the position that at this stage reforms must be effected State by State. The report calls upon associations, parents, organizations, school authorities, ministerial assistants, social workers, legislators, and others interested in the problem of child marriage, to undertake the following ten steps to a solutive of this problem: 1. Work toward a reasonable and enforceable minimum marriageable age law; the minimum for girls should be at least 16 in many states it is still 12. 2. Procure in states which now are without it a law requiring five days advance notice of intention to marry; such a law is now in operation in eight states. 3. Put the marriage market town out of business; there are at least 40 notorious Gretta Greens where exploitation and commercialization of marriages are responsible for numerous child marriages. 4. Through co-operation with adjoining states discourage harsh marriages across the State border, where out-of-town marriages are railroaded through either at the license office or the justice of the peace office, or both. 5. Know the work of your license issuers, so that the difficulties with which they are now contending single handed may be brought to light, and that they may be encouraged to use the discretion which the laws of many states now empower them to exercise. 6. Destroy the fee system; in so far as the system of fees in lieu of salaries to license issuers survives, it interferes with the interested character of their service. 7. Strengthen requirements as to proof of age of applicants for marriage licenses; at present no proof of age is required in most marriage license offices and the practice of accepting applicants leads to fistigation by applicants some times by their parents, finking possible the marriage of children 11, 12, 13 and 14 years of age. 8. Substitute better evidence of age for affidavits; no other form of evidence is so unsatisfactory. Aside from birth and baptismal certificates 16 other forms of documentary age are sought in the report. 9. Require both applicants for a marriage license to appear in petition before the license issuer. 10. Harmonize the different State laws in which a minimum age for affidavits; no other form of righteable age should not be lower than the minimum working age and the compulsory school attendance age should fit into both these Adoption of such reforms, says the report, would act as a check upon those parents who are willing to marry off their boys and girls while they are still children. What is more important, they would protect other parents who at present never know when some designing person or impulse of the moment may spirit away the immature girl or boy from the home and make the child the victim of an administrative system which is without proper safeguards. will appear at Fifth Baptist Church, corner Clifford and Effingham streets, Monday night, April 20, 8 o'clock.

Beyenth Avenue New York, NY 10017 MISSION STREET ASSOCIATE ALL ORDERS FEDERAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES ISSUES A NON-LYNCHING ROLL Washington, Mar. 26.—"Let the Churches cry aloud for a lynchness land in 1926," says the statement of the Federal Council of Churches, announcing its third annual Non-lynching Poll of Honor. Thirty-eight states earned places on the Roll of Honor by being free from lynchings last year, according to a statement issued by the Council's Commission on Race Relations. The definition of lynching is taken p in the statement. Ten states—one more than last year—"bore the black shame of lynchings." Though one state has lynchings that occurred in 1923, the number of murders was in half. Leaders point out however, that five lynchings have been recorded so far in 1925, and that there must be increased efforts on the part of the churches and governmental authorities against this type of lawlessness. Three new states appear on the Roll of Honor in 1924: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Virginia. The names of four states have been removed because of one lynching in each during the year. They are Illinois and Kentucky, which had been free from lynchings for two years, and South Carolina and Tennessee which had a clear record in 1923. This shows, according to officials of the Commission, that the abolition of lynching can be achieved. States that have never had a record of a lynching: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. States that have no record of a lynching since 1596: Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey and Utah. 4. Additional states which have no record of a lynching during the past ten years: Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, S. Dakota, and Wisconsin. 13. Additional states which have no record of a lynching in the past five years: Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Washington and Wyoming. 7. Additional states which have no record of a lynching the past two years: Alabama, California, Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia. 7. Additional states which have no record of a lynching during 1924, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Virginia. 3. Total states free from a lynching in 1924. 38. Total states still having lynchings. 10. Total states free from a lynching in 1923. 39. "The issue involved in both the lynching of helpless victims by mobs and of riots where there is promiscuous killing of individuals by one or both races is that of law against lawlessness," says George Dewey, a Fellow Councilles Commission on Race Relations in issuing the third annual honor roll. *Lynching is body blow to the ideals of brotherhood of the Gospel* HAIR OUT OF 2 SUFFOLK FRANKLIN MRS.

The affair was began with a splendid arranged program which included the Elks toast was sung, refreshments were served, then the chairs moved back, the orchestra tuned in and every body had a jolly good time WEDDING ANNIVERSARY On Wednesday night, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Singleton celebrated their 40th wedding home, on N. 61st Street. This popular young couple has truly burned the fine arts of entertaining. They served everything heart and appetite could wish and in turn received many valuable presents. The guests had already told many of their closest friends not to lead her house up with tin. Mr. Singleton's orchestra furnished the music. "The prominent guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Augustine, the guests are soon to celebrate their twentieth anniversary. DR. JAMES S. HATCHER A GIFTED SINGER the fame of Rev. James S. Hatcher, pastor of Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church, as a singer of great ability has gone throughout the entire city and as a result he is being called on to sing on nearly every program of note given to him, and he has several duties, he always responds. The people of Richmond have fallen in love with Dr. Hatcher and love to hear him both sing and presh. His singing at the Moore Street Baptist Church on Sunday was so moving that any one would want to hear. He also prescheduled a wonderful sermon, the occasion being a rally under the snippets About the only thing that will compete with a boy's imagination as to capacity is his stomach.

Woman Brings Suit Against Alleged Ark Lynchers Ark. Lynchers New York, N. Y.—Damage suits have been brought by Mrs. Callie Henry, of Malvern, Arkansas, against four men whom she and other witnesses saw among a mob which lynched her brother, John Harrison, in 1922, for a crime of which he was afterward found to be innocent.1 Mrs. Henry brought another man to the court against the sheriff and his deputies, which suit was disallowed. The damage suit is soon to be heard. Mrs. Henry, an invalid and the two children of John Harrison whose mother is dead, whom her mother had supported, sold her home for $400 to pay for the National and appeal for the accommodation for the Advancement of Colored People, to help pay the balance of the cost of the case. Through Mr. Scipio A Jones, the N. A. A. C. P. investigated her attorneys and helped to reduce the expenses from $700 to $500 the N. A. A. C. P. investigated the 1950s expenses of the case which, if won, it is felt, will help check lynching in Arkansas and other parts of the South. Dett's Music Featured In Hampton Recital By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Hampton, Va.-Dr. R. Nathapath Dett's "The Chariot Jubilee" was the main feature of the program presented by the church choir and Girl's Glee Club of the First Baptist Church Sunday evening, March 29. The recital was the largest hour of service. For the memorable interceptions of Dett's, Burleigh's, Wagner's and other noted musicians works, the music lovers of this vicinity must thank those who made possible and participated in the recital. The deep impression made by the concert was due in a large measure to the profound conception of the music by those who sang or played the concept in the music plumbed in the music the music entrained into its spirit in a way not often surpassed except by professional musicians. Dr. J. T. Lattimore, master of ceremonies, called upon Dr. Delt, who was in the audience, and who spoke briefly, expressing his appreciation to all who had helped in the rendition and preparation of the program. Dr. Delt said that his greatest inspiration came from that his own race was the first to approve his compositions. Most Negroes, he indicated, were acclaimed by the white race before recognized by their own people, but in his case it has been different; Negro organizations have been the first to sing his and a Negro University was the first to award him an honorary degree. Dr. Delt made a plea to the audience, and through it to the entire race, to inspire the younger generation—the potential artists and leaders—to accomplish some- PEW RENT SYSTEM DYING London, Eng—a Church of England committee reports that the system of renting news is dying out.

"PROPHET JONES", WELL-KNOWN EVANGELIST IN THE CITY This city has been graced by the presence of an evangelist named "Prophet Jones", who has been conducting a revival meeting at the Second Baptist Church for ten days. He proved to be more of a prophet than he was of a successful evangelist, for most of his sermons consisted more of a single person, recording to reports coming from the church, was converted under the spell of "Prophet Jones" preaching. RAZAAR AT HOOD TEMPLE HAZARAK of the Hood Temple A. M. E. Zion Church gave great success from church, for the first ten nights. The basement of the church being beautifully decorated with hooks of every description and design looked like a fairy land. A music program was given every night and kept the ladies, who were selling, very busy trying to serve. A musical program was rendered each night by a different group, which amused and kept up considerable interest. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES The Knights of Athlons and the Courts of the Military are coming to life again. After a long hard struggle they are able to come out and demand an audience as was evidenced on Sunday evening at the First Baptist Church where they held their anniversary services. The service was presented. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the church. MASS MEETING More than $16,000 was reported at the mass meeting at the Armstrong High School Auditorium last Sunday afternoon in the Union-Hartshorn campaign drive. The campaign drive, which took months quite of $0,000 is well on the way and it is the consensus of opinion that amount will be over subscriber. The campaign committee is asking for a $10,000 donation. Brew. A. W. Brown, pastor of Sixth Baptist Church, which church pledged $1,000 in the drive, and Prof. W. J. Chark, pres. of the congregation, speaks of the evening.

The Newport News Daily Press says this paper misrepresented it in two particulars in our editorial comment last week upon two articles we quoted in their entirety from its columns. The Daily Press declares it is not unfriendly to the Negro race—the editor referring feelingly to his "Black Mammy" as proof of it—and that it is not opposed to "training the race well in morals, manners and handicraft," and again, cites his "Black Mammy" as being the pioneer teacher of those virtues. If we misrepresented the Daily Press it was because its editor failed to correctly state his views in the articles referred to. This paper would not knowingly misquote or misrepresent any one. If we misrepresented the Daily Press it was because its editor failed to correctly state his views in the articles referred to. This paper would not knowingly misquote or misrepresent any one. We do not wish to prove that the Daily Press is unfriendly. We would much rather prove in these columns that the paper is friendly to its Negro fellow-citizens and constituency. We need the Daily Press and all the friends we can get. But we leave it to the reading public to decide whether the following utterances upon the part of the Daily Press are friendly or unfriendly: "Powerful influences are at work * * * * to wipe out the color line and place the two races upon terms of absolute equality. And the ultimate aim of that movement is amalgamation; absorption of the Negro race by the white race. And that must be the cherished ambition of the Negro race—to use the blood of the Anglo-Saxon race to rid the Negro race of objectionable characteristics in their form and features. It has been said of the Negro race that it was trying to 'find itself.' The fact is, it is trying to lose itself in the Anglo-Saxon race," (Italics ours.) Now, we should like to ask the Daily Press editor if he considers friendly the above grave charges? Does he really believe they are true? Does he not know that every Negro with a grain of self-respect will resent them? Does he not know that such statements intensify racial animosities, create suspicion and distrust and expose the Negro race to acts of violence? Has he anything except fear to support the broad assertion that the Negro race "is trying to lose itself in the Anglo-Saxon race?" Does the possibility that a few Negroes who have become white by circumstances beyond their control may cross the color line justify the indictment of a whole race under charges of conspiracy? Upon reflection would he consider his words an act of kindness? Negroes of intelligence who live in the South regard as unfriendly broad generalizations made in the pulpit, on the platform and in the press, that impugn their motives, stigmatize their race, disparage their achievements and mislead public opinion on the race question. If the Daily Press does not feel that its utterances may be thus characterized let it note carefully the reactions among both white and black to the inflammatory charges which it broadcasted. Regarding the attitude of the Daily Press on the "danger of training the race well in morals, manners and handicraft" we quote again its exact words: Now, we should like to ask the Daily Press editor if he considers friendly the above grave charges?

If the Daily Press does not feel that its utterances may be thus characterized let it note carefully the reactions among both white and black to the inflammatory charges which it broadcasted. Regarding the attitude of the Daily Press on the "danger of training the race well in morals, manners and handicraft" we quote again its exact words: "This institution, (Hampton Institute) trains its students well in morals, manners and handicraft and there is not a better behaved set of students in the United States, not one of whom, we are informed has ever been arrested for crime or disorderly conduct. And the officers and teachers of the institution are men and women of high character and exemplary conduct. But all that enhances the danger which this article is designed to point Editorial Page of out, and there is a still greater danger in the public schools." (Italics ours.) There are fifty years of fact and tradition behind the school referred to which prove that the danger which the Daily Press seeks to point out does not exist except in the imagination of a few uninformed and misguided persons. If the Daily Press was misrepresented what does its reference to the public schools mean? Afro-Americans in Virginia are building their own social fabric and have proved with admirable tolerance and good will the separation of the races in certain channels of human intercourse. But Afro-Americans in Virginia, nor anywhere else concede that such separation should necessarily carry with it the degradation of their race. They believe that there is room here for both races to live side by side in peace harmony and good-will with each other, each respecting the rights of the other as defined and dictated by law and custom. When Senator Swanson was Governor of Virginia he was invited to a conference of Governors to discuss the race question. His answer to the invitation was that "we have no race question in Virginia." We are now prepared to say that Governor Swanson was precise and correct in saying that there was no race question in Virginia, nor are we prepared to believe that any such problem exist, or that there are any such danger imminent as were pointed out in the article in the Daily Press. Such far-fetched, disturbing and unjust declarations as were made by the Daily Press can have no other effect than to intensify and complicate a problem which the very best manhood and womanhood of both races in Virginia are earnestly striving to adjust and solve in a Christian spirit with justice to both races and injury to neither. What the Daily Press should do, if we may presume to offer it some friendly counsel, is to form a more intimate acquaintance with its "Black Mammy's" children and grandchildren. Look into their real hearts and minds. Many injustices to the present generation of Afro-Americans are covered up by ingenious laudation of the "Black Mammy." Virginians could not revere the memory of those sainted characters with more sincerity and truth than to do justice to "Black Mammy's" children and grandchildren. If "Black Mammy" could speak for herself, she would say: "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

The Tuskegee-Hampton $5,000,000 Endowment The splendid gifts of Mr. George East man of Rochester and Mr. John D Rockefeller jr., of New York, have so boosted the drive for a five million dollar endowment fund for Tuskegee and Hampton Institute as to make it a surety. Mr. East man gave $2,000,000 and Mr. Rockefeller gave $1,000,000 towards the funds. These gifts are princely in their possibilities for The splendid gifts of Mr. George Eastman of Rochester and Mr. John D. Rockefeller jr., of New York, have so boosted the drive for a five million dollar endowment fund for Tuskegee and Hampton Institute as to make it a surety. Mr. Eastman gave $2,000,000 and Mr. Rockefeller gave $1,000,000 towards the funds. These gifts are princely in their possibilities for good and bespeak an interest in the education of the Afro-Americans of the South which began in the Reconstruction period fifty-seven years ago and has continued without any let-up whatsoever. It is perhaps great er and in a larger way now than ever before. This would not be the case if the benefactors had not been convinced by the results, in the good work done by the graduates, that they were investing in a paying business. Peabody, Hand, Slater, Howard, Fisk, Jeanes, William E. Dodge, Carnegie, Rosenwald, the Miss Stokes, Eastman, Rockefeller—these people have given millions of dollars for Afro-American education in the South during the past fifty years. It is a record of philanthropy, backing missionary work, unparalleled in the history of mankind. Our race group, by this one showing, has had and has plenty of friends among the white group, and we never had more and stronger ones than today. That speaks volumes for the benefactors and for the beneficiaries. If the former had not been satisfied by results that the latter had made and were making good their benefactions would have been stopped. Wise men do not invest their money in unprofitable undertakings. Among other things that have been helpful in the drive has been the good impression the Tuskegee-Hampton Institute singers have made upon the people of the North and East during the past few months. They have constantly been in demand by the radio corporations and millions of people have heard them in the broadcasts and become interested in the good work they represent. They are doing for Tuskegee and Hampton Institute what the Fisk Jubilee Singers of other days did for Fisk University; they are helping to complete the endowment fund by their work, for which the public pays handsomely, and which gives them a money interest in the schools they represent. That is as, it should be, as much so as that we should have contributed 200,000 of our men as soldiers to help save the Union and free the slaves. There is nothing like having a real as well as a sentimental interest in everything that we create, that we make. As an example of the success the Tuskegee-Hampton singers are having the reports in the newspapers have it that at a Carnegie Hall concert in New York last week some of the most distinguished people in the country were present or sent words of cheer by wire and radio, among them Chief Justice W. H. Taft, whose remarks were received by radio from Washington. The great hall was crowded to capacity and some 2,000 were unable to gain entrance. This speaks volumes for the good work of the students and of the schools they represent and reassures us that the heart of the best people of the Nation beats sympathetically and helpfully for our race group. Let us continue to merit the high regard of our white fellow citizens by first meriting ourselves our own high regard.

"KEEP WELL" BEATS "GET WELL" Spirit of the Press Waverly, Virginia, Accursed from St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va. Last Friday night, James Jordan, a Negro youth of twenty-two summers, before the brandishment of firearms and weapons of torture, "confessed" a criminal assault upon a young white woman, was lynched and taken to Waverly on the soil Last Friday night, James Jordan, a Negro youth of twenty-two summers, before the brandishment of firearms and weapons of torture, "confessed" a criminal assault upon a young white woman, was lynched and burned at the stake at Waverly, on the soil of Virginia, in the year of our Lord, 1925. The so-called "confession" of this outrage against womanhood was the torch that inflamed the hell-like wrath of the howling mob. He was dragged from a lumber mill by the hand of the law and rushed into the presence of the white woman for identification. The certainty of the identification by the young woman could not be confirmed. But in order to appease the rising rage of the excited public a Negro was placed in jail, at Waverly, Virginia and Judge Lynch sentenced him to be loaded with bullets and burned at the stake. Waverly—nestled on the banks of the Blackwater River—twenty miles from Petersburg, forty miles from Richmond, the Capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a little village once fair as a virgin but now stands accursed forever. In the light of the high noon of civilization she has prostituted law and order, and committed a whoredom with the forces of lawlessness by burning a human being at the stake. This bloodstain can never be removed. The spring birds will pay their annual visits to the town of Waverly with the purpose to sing their springtime songs. There they will sing as of old, but an unusual discord will lurk among the voices of harmony. The flowers will bear their tributes of springtime offerings to help to drive away the cheerless gloom of community murdering, but they will soon blush and fade away in Waverly. All the spring and summer rains will not be able to wash away this horrible crime of lynching. Waverly, Virginia, is accursed. We first had an impulse, to pity poor James Jordan, the victim of the insanity of a crowd. But, in our second reflection, we pity poor Virginia whose laws and reputation were outraged by the savagery of Waverly's white citizens. Regardless of what achievements may be claimed by this village hereafter, the one thing that she will be remembered by will be, "A Nego was lynched and burned at stake in Waverly, Virginia." YELLING MURDER AND DOING ALL THE MURDER YELLING MURDER AND DOING ALL THE MURDER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY By WILLIAM PICKENS What is really wrong with the editor of the Newport News Daily Press, is it that he heard that John D. Rockefeller Jr. gave one million dollars to Hampton Institute, for he complains bitterly that this Negro institution "is richer than the University of Virginia," and "has the finest library in this section of Virginia," among its other similar sins and misdemeanors. That is, in order to preserve Anglo-Saxon stock, it is necessary to keep a Negro school poor, poorly equipped and still more poorly instructed, for Anglo-Saxons, you know, can only be strong among the weak, rich among the poor, powerful among the puny and big among the little. Negro repression is necessary to Anglo-Saxon greatness. What an insult to all that is great in the Anglo-Saxon race! The "Press" editor says that an equal chance and an equal intelligence and culture for the Negro will lead to "association of the romantic nature" and the great horror of legitimate, married, sexual intercourse He isn't worried at all about the three million or so of illegitimate mulattoes. He forgets that an illegitimate mulatto child is just as complete a human as a legitimate one, and just as dangerous to the "integrity" of Anglo-Saxons. He pretends not to know also that this great army of mulattoes is not the product of Negro intelligence and culture but of Negro ignorance and degradation; that the By GEORGE WELLS PARKER 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.

These temples or churches, if you prefer it, are structural monuments to the efficacy of that great and wonderful religion, which from the depths of ignorance, cannibalism, and pristine passions, raises the savage and barbarous, and places them on the solid foundation of that great and incomparable Nordic civilization, emancipating them, as it were, from the spirit of the jungle. "Lynchingburg" is thus and has for generations been exposed to the cultural and refining processes of two most potent factors: the religion of Jesus Christ and the civilization of the Nordics. And I might say in passing has absorbed a part of both, evidence at hand to the contrary notwithstanding. Exposed to and absorbing those ingredients which are, it is said, so necessary in the approach to the biblical estate of man "a little below the angels," it follows that certain virtues obtain. Among those virtues, courage suggests itself immediately. If courage is a concomitant of both Christianity and the Nordic civilization, and we here enter no denial, the efficacy of Saturday, April 4, 1924 ruffled spirits or frustrated desires. As we noted the expressions on the upturned faces of two little white youngsters, who were present, as they gazed into the speaker's face, as he poured forth his lamentations, we were reminded of Acts: 26:28, "Then Agrippa said to Paul, 'Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.'" We will now take a free will offering, the same to be used for missionaries on their endeavor to spread the Christian religion in Africa and divers other heathen lands. Thanks for your liberal contributions. Peace be with you until THEY meet again at "Lynchingburg," Virginia. Co-Operation For the Common Good COOPERATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD. W. W. Alexander, Director Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Atlanta, Ga. Recently there has developed in the South the well-founded conviction that cooperation is the method by which the racial groups here in America will achieve a better life and larger mutual appreciation. For five years the Commission in Interracial Cooperation, composed of influential white and Negro citizens, has worked systematically to discover in each community white and colored leaders who would accept conference and cooperation as the method of dealing with common interests. The response to this effort has been encouraging. Public officials in most instances have been sympathetic. The most influential papers have given whole-hearted support. Church bodies have given unqualified approval. Especially encouraging is the growth of cooperation between white and colored women. Hundreds of interracial committees are now in existence. Slowly the idea is spreading. It works. Never before were there so many white and Negro men and women sincerely seeking to understand their common life and through common efforts to enrich the life of all. The community chests of Richmond, Norfolk, Atlanta, Savannah and Louisville include sums for the support of this work. Some of the great Southern church boards are also giving it financial support. The most important result of this method is the better interracial attitude engendered as a by-product. Fellowship in work has been found the surest way to that appreciation and sympathy which alone can displace indifference and suspicion. The Daily Press Missrepresented From Newport News Daily Press. The Norfolk JOURNAL AND GUIDE, a colored newspaper, reproduces in full two articles recently appearing in the Daily Press on racial integrity together with the reply to one of those articles by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. Accompanying the articles copied from the Daily Press is an editorial article which would be passed by without comment from this newspaper but for the fact that the Daily Press is grossly misrepresented in two particulars. This is due, however, we believe, not to any deliberate purpose to mislead but to a misunderstanding. The first of these misrepresentations is that the Daily Press is unfriendly to the Negro race, and we confess that we read that charge with a sense of deep sorrow. The editor of the Daily Press was reared in a Southern household of whom his old "mammy" and others of her race were members. Their names are all recorded in the family Bible, still in the possession of the editor of the Daily Press, and the date of birth and even the baptism of some of the Negro children is also recorded. These Negroes were members of the household during the War between the States when the white men were in Lee's army fighting for Southern rights. They might have deserted and gained their freedom, but with a single exception, they remained at "home" with "Ole Mis" and the children and helped to take care of us and were faithful and kind. It is impossible for any man reared with Negroes under those circumstances to have any but sentiments of affection for the Negro race. repression of a minority race is what gives the males of the majority race their best chance to "mix" things; and that the Negro girls trained in good schools are the very ones in which the advantaged white man cannot plant a nameless crop, of mulattoes. He wilfully overlooks the fact that white men, who are always crying out against amalgamation, are solely responsible for all the amalgamation that has taken place. An old trick: yelling murder and doing all the murder. While this editor was writing so eloquently about the preservation of Anglo-Saxon integrity from harmless, helpless colored men of Newport News, amalgamation, or an effort at it, was going on just a short walk from his editorial sanctum in a red light district where the city permits white men to keep colored women, and where no colored man is allowed. This an intelligent editor ought to know, since everybody else in Newport News knows it. Here's the choice he offers us, if you analyze his position: either to treat Negroes as human beings and risk a slower legitimate amalgamation; or to treat Negroes as human cattle and make sure of a much more rapid illegitimate amalgamation. He makes this point, of course, without intending to do so. But those are the alternatives of all his indications. We admit the delimma. And only a moral coward can refuse to choose the alternatives of civilized justice. (Copyright 1924 by A. N.

Wolfe Parket, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Ethiopians. The present name of the country is Saba. Q. Will you kindly inform me from whence came the early Greeks? W. B. R., West Philadelphia, Pa. A. Ancient Greece was really a confederacy of many small governments and made up of several derivatives. The Argives of Argos, the Myceneans, the Lacedamians of Sparta, were originally colonials from Africa Crete and Phoenecia. At the time for the Trojan war the principals were largely of African descent with the exception of the Acheans who were of a more northerly clime. The ancient Greeks were in reality mulattoes. the latter forces was never better exemplified than on that auspicious occasion, to the inhabitants of Sussex County generally and "Lynchburg" specifically, when two thousand brave, courageous and death defying Christian gentlemen, armed only with shotguns, pistols, bludgeons and clubs, imbued with that dauntless spirit that characterized the Spartan, swooped down on a little cabin, a jail if it pleases, and with the spirit of their god encouraging them, took therefrom ONE NEGRO, hung him to a tree, riddled him with bullets and burned his body. He who tells me that this action was not the embodiment, the perfection, and the acme of human courage, errs and most greviously so. Examine the annals of history; quaff deep of the cup of ancient lore and fiction where courageous deeds of men find record, if you will, yet we venture to say that no where will you find such a degree of reckless courage and bravery as was displayed and manifested in "Lynchburg" a few days ago. We can readily appreciate the chagrin and disappointment of that young white man at Ivor, Virginia, who on Thursday night, March 26th, replying to a query of the conductor on No. 4, N. & W. Eastbound, said, "I didn't get there until about forty minutes after it was all over; I'd like to have been there to help 'em put it on him." This attitude merits the profound sympathy of all red-blooded Christians and law-abiding gentlemen. We are sympathetically contemplative of that poignant thwarted desire that so evidently permeated the speaker's very being and are miserable, indeed, that we are unable to assuage his Radio has reached an ing stage of development the northwest coast of and especially in France, according to an of the current number Science Moderne.
