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.

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.

Dean Holmes' Address Warmly Received Here An appreciative audience composed 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 School of Education of Howard University in the Booker T. Washington school auditorium Monday afternoon. The address was characterized by those who heard it as a being a "literary gem" fraught with practical and interesting information. Dean Holmes told the teachers that it was his desire that they feel as he does, that they are engaged in the highest occupation in which a person could enage—taking the human soul and developing it. He said the teachers were the most conservative elements in their respective communities excepting the preachers, while they should be the most progressive. Dr. Holmes explained 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 being taught from books that say Russia is ruled by a Czar and that Germany has an Emperor. A doctor and a lawyer discards old ideas, the Dean said, as rapidly as they become obsolete, but a teacher holds cast to them. He called attention to the rapid progress humanity is making, statin in that in his opinion it has always moved up by steps instead of assuming a gradual incline. Great opportunities or social reformations marked the steps by which humanity moves upward, he declared in effect, and pointed to the World War as marking a big step up in human aspirations and the advance of science and discoveries. America has committed itself to universal education and is expanding gigantic sums in that direction. Teachers and educators will have to give an account of the uses to which these vast sums have been put in the 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 when their work will be actually and scientifically measured. The speaker was introduced by Prof. E. P. Southall and Miss Beatha Jones presided. Dean Holmes was presented by the Norfolk Teachers' Association. 9:30 n. m.-Church School 11:00 n. m.-Morning Prayer and Holy Recessional 172—"Jesus Christ is Risen Today" 4:30 p. m. -Program by the church school Presentation of the children's offering 4:30 p. m. -Evening Praver Recessional 179—"He is risen, He is Risen" Our—Every member present.

HAMPTON GLEE CLUB ADDS TO ITS LAURELS IN RECITAL RECENTLY Heavy Downpour of Rain Failed To Keep Away Medium Size Audience Of Music Lovers. The Hampton Institute Glee Club was brought to St. John's Church Friday evening, March 27, under the auspices of the St. John's Brotherhood to appear in recital under the direction of the noted composer-pianist, Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett. March rose to the occasion magnificently, welcoming the visiting musicians, just returned from recent triumphs at Carnegie Hall in New York City, with a deluge of wind-driven rain before, during and after the concert. A moderately sized audience of music lovers braved the fury of the elements, however, and were well rewarded for their efforts. From the moment the singers arose at the appointed note in their opening song, "Salutation" by Gaines, to the nobly executed finals, "Bedouin Song" by Foote, there were interpretations of folk song, and of classical compositions which demonstrated that, beyond a doubt, the group of singers and soloists under and including Dr. Dett must be ranked among the elite of the music world. The versatility of the singers was indicated to a very delightful degree in their renditions of classics, of original Negro folk songs, and of arranged folk songs. The singers seemed at home equally in one realm of music as in another. Dr. Dett's direction was guided by impeccable musicianship, and he brought out tremendous effects without exaggeration which might in any way be classed as sensitional. His presentation of the beautiful music that flooded the program had a breadth and richness that are not often the share of the local audiences. Aside from the chorus singing of the entire Glee Club, there were vocal and instrumental soloists. Aubrey Pankey, baritone; Regional Swain, baritone; Othello Wilson, tenor; Claude Amis, baritone; Giles Mills and Benjamin Richardson, saxophone duetists; and Dr. Dett, pianist, all added very materially to the pleasure of the evening. The Glee Club itself sank thenu-selections. All were handled with excellent technical ability, keen insight, expression of depth and command, precision, and authority. The phrasing was especially good, and consequently the many pleasing rhythmical effects were not without their pleasing qualities. The emunciation was clear: the tones deep, good, and well sustained thruout the rather lengthy program. In short, the songs were often brilliantly executed, and interpreted with due regard to mood, rhythms, and similar prases of the art of singing. Mr. Pankey sang pleasingly "I Attempt From Love sickness To Fly" by Purcell, "Were Thou The Moon" by Dett, and "Follow Me" also by Dett. This latter was encored. Mr. Swain had solo parts in the beautiful "Her Rose" by Coombs, and in "Wait Not But Hear Me Love" by Thompson. The latter piece was encored. Mr. Wilson handled the solo sections of "Daniel Saw The Stone" and "Babylon's Falling." 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 brilliancy, mastery of expression, and musical conception, Dr. Dett played his "Dance of Desire" from "Enchantment Suite No. 3." The audience insisted on an encore. Rain has twice greeted the Hampton 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 recital. —P. B. Y. JR.

A large crowded greeted Dr. Williams Sunday morning and listened closely to a strong and eloquent sermon from I John 31, which read, "Behold what manner of The pastor said the wonders of Christ's love are abundant everywhere. It is self-kindling, he declared, and is manifested whether man in turn loves God or not. Humanity is God's by adoption, and the older a man grows deeper and more nibbling should his love for God become. The beautiful life of John, the apostle, was disloyal and the glorius of Heaven were opened to him, said Dr. Williams. He declared God's love is unselfish; that man's love for his wife and friends are to a certain extent selfish. He expects returns in some form, but God entertains no love based on reciprocal hopes. The loving parent spends and responds for the child without the thought of return only in love. The boy's love upon the purpose of Christ's coming into this world in the form of a human, and suffering, dying and arising on the third day, said the minister. Bible Class Holds Services In Jail The David King Bible Class of the First Baptist Church Sunday school conducted devotionals at the city jail last Sunday, during which time much practical advice was given the inmates as well as spiritual consolation. Mr. Milton Lassiter presided over the session by Mr. Moses Jaxson and Mr. Roland Abbott read a passage of the scriptures. Mr. Issae Neal made a brief talk and Mr. Lawrence Herrison presided at the organ. The principal talk to the prisoners was made by Mr. T. C. Williams, who told the men that their presence the jail was not enough to raise their race, inasmuch as at this time the race along with all subject peoples and racial minorities the world over are going thru a period of revolution by the dominant races to find out if they are worthy of privileges and immunities which have been granted them, or whether these immunities constitute a menace to the established order. He said, the Negro race needs for this radical the balanced department and prudent hearing of every Negro man and woman, and is willing to let by-gones be by-gones and forget and forgive them for their misdeeds provided they leave prison with fresh understanding of the requirements of the race in mind. Mr. Williams urged the men to dissolve the prison and get something for nothing, either materially or spiritually, and advised them that whatever they saw they shall roam. The inmates were told to seek a respectable neighborhood to live in when they leave prison, and the men urged to seek good jobs, stick to them join churches and lodges, marry a girl of good habits, raise a family and enter into the practice of habits of thrift. He said if this was done the community would forget their Mr. Owen Wilson, president of the class, told the inmates that all men were subject to overpowering temptations that could be resisted only through the practice of rigid self-control and good environment. He welcomed the men to the David King Bible Class as soon as they regained their liberty and promised to throw around them the mantle of charity and do all in his power to help them to make a fresh start in life. After the class had conducted its program the prisoners showed their appreciation by rendering several well chosen solutions. Dr. Kratz, of the Union Mission, arose and urged the men that when they leave prison to follow the advice that had been given them and make themselves worthy of the ideals held up for them by their loved ones and friends. BETHEL A. HAMPTON. Wes. an appreciative number present in the first service of the day, the sunrise prayer meeting. An inference in Sunday school attendance and finance was noted. At 3 o'clock Rev. Johnson, of Wine street church, preached at Bethel. His choir and members of his congregation accompanied him here and left a substantial offering. The prayer service of the league was inspiring, and at 8 o'clock the league had charge of a very excellent program, including talent from Newport News, Phoebe and Hampton. A chorus many other members and visitors were present. Special music was rendered by the choir. One accession marked the day's services. Conference claims are coming in very convincingly.

MINISTER BRANDS SOCIETY A ROTTEN, IMMORAL TRICK Second Calvary Pastor In Special Sermon To Women Scores Childless Marriages And Good-Time Mothers. "But he said unto her thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What, what, receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this not dab sin with his lips.”—Job 2.10. From this scriptural sermon Rev. C. Madison lit his sermon “T he Drifting Woman.” Drifting Calvary Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. It was his third annual message to women. The seats on the lower floor were reserved for receive good at the band of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips."—Job. 2:10. From this scriptural assertion Rev. C. P. Madison built his sermon "T h e Drifting oman." at Second Calvary Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. It was his third annual message to women. The sents on the lower floor were reserved for their sex, while Rev. C. P. Madison men occupied the galleries. A large crowd listened attentively to the sermon, the silence being broken now and then with fervent utterances of approv. Among other things the pastor said the home is the back ground of all that makes society, morality and religion what they ought to be, but women of today are drifting from the home and declining to accept its burdens and responsibilities. "The drifting woman is one who has broken her marriage vow and gone the way of the world. In this city there is a number of such women whose drifts have become so marked that they only remember the day when they stood at the altar when it is recalled by friends and acquaintances." Rev. Madison said. "Job's wife, seeking relief from the inevitable burdens of home, beheaded him to curse God and that in order that no longer he encumbers with affiliations." I supposed she had drifted into the afflictions of another, as many women of today have done." he continued. "Drifting from Child Rearing" "Mothers are drifting from the rearing of their children to allowing them to rear themselves. Mother and daughter both out at night and oftimes on different ways. Some have gone so far in lack of motherly oversight of their daughters that they make their offsprings their partner in sin. Sometimes mother arives in a child's mother-daughter and continue it as the opposite. "Mothers let your presence in the home he constant. If your husband supports you, keep the home sweet for his coming after his day's work is done. Have his food ready, with water for him to wash and clean up. Have your hair combed and a clean towel at his hand. He tidy when he comes in so that he may see that you honor him. Let him care from your best dishes and on your priest table cloth sometimes. Keep the home clean; if it is but one reason of how mean a man may be, he will respect a tidy and sate wife. "The standards of life are not followed by drifting, but by bringing in play the strength and courage of a woman. Against opposition stand and hold the banner high, that the honor of womanhood and the glory of God may have its rightful place in humanity. So-called society of today should meet stubborn resistance from every woman who believes in righteousness, and then to come forth a cry, "Be away, with the rotten man and his trick that is called sacred and manly trick that is called the religion of Christ because the time and money that society is getting. Do this and you women will render a service to God that Heaven will be pleased with." Great Revival Services Held Frederickburg, Va., April 3. - Rev. Horace Minor, D.

THOMAS Newport News, Va., April 3— Upsetting the best guesses and predictions of the dopesters, Huntington Hi with a crippled and remodeled team journeyed to the Hill City, Lynchburg, Va., and in a spectacular, heart-breaking contest defeated Dunbar Hi for the Championship of the State. The crowd begin filtering into the spacious school gymnasium at an early hour. By 8:30 standing room was at a premium and still they poured in. Roanoke, "runner up" for Western honors turned out "enwash" and her girl tossers handed the Dunbar girl midgets a severe drubbing to the tute of 18-6. The little girls played a "jam-up" game, considering how much outclassed they were in height, weight and experience by the Roanoke "cagettes". This tilt paved the way for the main go. About 10:00 p. m., Huntington dribbed in amidst tremendous applause. Immediately afterwards Dunbar took the floor, cheered to the echo. About 10:15 the game began. And such a game! The first five minutes both teams sparred cautiously, each seeking a weak spot, each on the defensive. Suddenly, they both began to let go. In the melee, Fisher fouled Crimes, who proceeded to loop in one for the first tally of the evening. Shots were few and far between so cleverly did both teams use their five man defense. Lee for Dunbar suddenly stopped near the center of the floor poised, and looped a brilliant goal for two more points. Pandemonium broke loose. The score was Dunbar 5 Huntington 0. Nothing daunted. Huntington began her desperate, Atlanta, Ga.—Morehouse chalked up its second victory of the season when Coach Harvey's sluggers pounded "Sleepy" Edwards for 15 hits while Lockhart held the opponents to five (5). The game was featured by heavy hitting on the part of the Tigers. Sykes with three out of five, Dunn with 3 out of 6, J. Williams with 3 out of 5 and E. B. Williams with 3 out of 5. Sykes drove one to the center field fence, the ball rolling under for a home run. Lockhart pitched a cool game was steady in the pinches, fanned 8 and walked one. Edward d fanned five and hit one. Morris Brown scored twice in the sixth when Johnson walked. He reached second when Rogers fumbled J. Lockhart's roller. Culbreath hit to H. Lockhart who fumbled filling the bases. Waner fanned and Johnson scored while Harold was being thrown out. Lockhart score when Rogers fumbled Edward's liver. Catton fanned. Morehouse scored three in the second inning on Sykes double, E. B. Williams' liner to left, a double by Dunn, a hit batter and Idlet' single. Sykes' homer came in the 5th inning. In the sixth, Dunn singled to center, was sacrificed to second by Hawkins and scored on Idlet' drive to the same place. Their last two scores came in the seventh frame, when with two met down, Sykes drove to center and went to third on E. B. Williams double to left. Rogers scored on Sykes with a single to left. E. Williams scored on McPherson' terrific drive to the left field wall. Batteries: Morris Brown—Edwards and Johnson; Morehouse—Lockhart and J. Williams. ST.PAUL TO PLAY THIRTEEN GAMES FOR THIS SEASON (By St. Paul Buren of Publicity) Lawrenceville, Va., April 3-St. Paul's 1925 baseball schedule surpasses those of former years in that the Tigers will meet all schools of the Colored Intercollegiate Association in a home and home game. For the first time in St. Paul's short but envious athletic history a baseball player may not make a trip and yet participate in a sufficient number of Association games to win the coveted monogram. The schedule as released by the athletic office is as follows: Schedule April 3, Union at Lawrenceville; April 11, Virginia Normal at Lawrenceville; April 13, Easter Monday; N. C. State at Lawrenceville; April 16, Virginia Normal at Petersburg; April 17, Union at Richmond; April 18, Hampton at Hampton; April 27, A. & T. at Greensboro; May 2, Shaw at Raleigh; May 8, Hampton at Lawrenceville; May 13, Shaw at Lawrenceville; May 18, Virginia Seminary at Lawrenceville. Coach Douglass bean his pre liminaries on March 9th. Fifty-seven agile and determined young sters responded to his call, but thru the usual process of elimination the regular squad has been reduced to twenty-two, the maximum number to enjoy the privileges of varsity athletes. While his pro teges have not come up to his expectations in many respects, St Paul's renowned tutor predicts that his machine will hit its stride a day or so before the Panther-Tiger melee. There seems to be a galaxy of mound performers, but there is dogged, uphill battle. After missing several long shots by the merest fraction of an inch, Spivey dropped one almost from goal to goal. L. Ridley followed with another from almost the same spot. Crimes and Martin each found the loop for counters. These were followed by the steady advance of Huntington. Cagging the most scintillating shots of the ame, P. Ridley dropped in a long one-hand try quickly succeeded by a double counter by Mayer and the half ended Dunbar 9, Huntington 8. The pace was advanced a notch in the second half. "Fess" Hughes found the loop for a double counter and Grimes sank one from the foul line making the count 12-8. Then Mayer began to go. He sank two pretty ones for a count of 12-12 L. Ridley again found the basket from the center ring and make it 14-12 in favor of Huntington. Spurred on by their lead. Mayer dropped in another double counter for a score of 16-12. When the timekeeper blew for the close of the game, the score stood Huntington 16—Dunbar 14, and the great championship classie was ended. For Huntington, Mayer was high point man with 4 field goals. Perhaps the most stellar player on the floor was "Biggey Spivey. "Zeke Hughes and Grimes starred for Dunbar. THE LINEUP Kittrell, N. C.,—Playing their second game in two days, the first which was rained out at Raleigh, N. C., the fast team of Shaw University was defeated by Kittrell College here by a score of 8 to 6. The game was full of thrills thruout, and the spectators were brought to their feet often by the many sensational catches by both teams. Coach Martin of Shaw appointed for mound duty, Jones, a port sider, who held the Kittrell sluggers in check at Raleigh. His pitching was excellent until the 6th inning when he began to weaken. He was then substituted by Love, a southwash. The Kittrell batters hit his delivery to their liking and before he could retire, Kittrell had sent across 5 scores and had won the game. Coach Williams' selection was Jones, who lasted two innings. Then the Shaw batters sent him to the chowers. Byrd who relieved him held Shaw to 2 hits and one run for the remainder of the game. The batting of Chavis and Black was the outstanding feature of the Shaw team. While Vinson and Caldwell were the leading batters for Kittrell. Vinson hitting a homer, triple and double with men on each time. The fielding of Armstrong and Diamond was the feature attraction of the afternoon. Diamond furnished the spectators thrill after thrill by his many sensational one hand stabs of hard hit balls. Richardson and Patterson played a steady game for Kittrell, making hard hit drivers (which appeared to be safe), easy outs. Score R H E Shaw University.....6 9 Kittrell College.....8 14 1 Batteries: Shaw—Jones, Love and Chavis; Kittrell—Jones Byrne and Vinson. Umpires—Collins and Hayward. FRANKLIN HIGH AND ELIZABETH CITY TO CROSS BATS FRIDAY (Special to Journal and Guide) The Franklin High School variety squad will play the North Carolina State Normal School Friday in a scheduled game, on the latter's field in Elizabeth City, N. C. Coach Hamlin has been training his team overtime for April 10 invasion. This marks the first athletic relation between the two schools and it is hoped that friendly rivalries will continue to exist between these schools. Schedule Announced Later The Franklin High school has offered dates for eleven baseball games, and is waiting for confirmation from those who have not accepted. The schedule will be announced as soon as possible. quite a scarcity of reliable slabmen. The infelders are working erratically, while the outfielders are exhibiting a veteran brand of baseball. The catchers have so many off and on days that it is difficult to render a decision with regard to the back-of-the-plate position. Jimmie Wallace, St. Paul's Knoll Czar, who has been appointed acting captain, is slated to open the season against Union on Friday. AGGRAVATING PAPA ILL TELL THE COCKEYED WORLD I'M A BROKE BABY I AINT GOTA DIME. C. I. A. A. Issues Detailed Statement On Controversy Booklet Contains Correspondence Between Howard, Lincoln and C. I. A. A. Which Seems To Justify Its Position. In a sixteen page pamphlet recently published by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association there is given to the public and the press a complete record of the actions, the reasons for these actions, and the result of the action which now finds Howard, of her own volition, and Lincoln, partly of her own choice, no longer members of the C. I. A. A. While the Journal and Guide feels that there is something to be said on both the side of the former members and the Association, the aforementioned published information is such that an unprejudiced observer is led to conclude that Howard is wrong in her attitude in saying that she is being "boycotted" or forced to any action, for she withdrew and was not put out. As for Lincoln, her action in agreeing to play only the other half of her two-year contract, cancelling all other athletic contests with Howard, seems to indicate that she (Lincoln) means to be fair all around. On the other hand, unbiased consideration of facts seems to indicate that one man, and not the Coach, Graduate Manager, or certain groups of graduates, has been responsible for Lincoln's failure to fulfill her share of the action of the C. I. A. A., which her credited representative agreed to do at the meeting to which Howard sent her withdrawal. The Howard Case The following is from the C. I A. A. statement: "In its meeting held at the Virginia Union University on February 13, 1925 the association decided to give the following information to the public—" "For several weeks prior to the regular meeting of the C. I. A. A., which was held at Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va., on March 19, 1921 there had appeared in the columns of several objections to the elitist laws of the C. I. A. A. and other points of grievances which seemed to indicate that Howard did not have a strong desire to continue its membership in the Association. At the meeting of the C. I. A. A. at Virginia Seminary, Mr. L. I. W. Watson Physical Director at Howard University appeared as the official representative of that institution, and, in the course of the meeting, he stated, as objections and grievances, which coined directly with statements which had already appeared in the press. The similarity between these press statements and the statements of Mr Watson made it very definitely appear that the press articles had been presented with the idea of preparing the way for the official statement of objections by Howard representative. Mr Watson stated that unless the eligibility rules were changed for the formation of the Atlantic Control of Howard University, that Howard University would be compelled to withdraw its membership from the C. I. A. A. "Apparently, Mr. Watson was not empowered with authority to make a final decision in this matter, and after a thorough discussion by the Association, a committee was appointed to confer with representatives of Howard University for the purpose of reaching an agreement on the eligibility rules that would be equitable for all the members of the Association. This committee was composed of Prof. A. Rogers, Dr. W. G. Alexander, Dr. J. Charles H. Williams, Secretary-Treasurer." The eligibility rules which governed the Association up to this time provided that a student could play an aggregate of four years only. That is, four years as a total whether in one or several schools. The new ruling which came from the meeting of this committee was as follows: "A preparatory student who plays one on a C. I. A. I. a team will not have that year count against him in case he enters into the college department of any other institution in the Association. Should he play more than one year, each year he will be admitted from his four years of preparation." The pamphlet further stated: "In the beginning of the controversy Howard presented her side of the Miller case to the public as the reason for withdrawing from the Association. Lately, however, she bases her objection to the C. I. A. A. on the ground that there is a difference in the scholastic standings of the various institutions comprising the association and is particularly offensive to the Miller case as 'intercollegiate' which Howard considers a misnomer. The C. I. A. A. feels that the action of Howard in attempting in the beginning to make the public believe that the Miller case was its real reason for withdrawing from the Association and later presenting other excuses or reasons, is misrepresentation which is neither fair to the C. I. A. A. nor the public." NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE ONLY THING I'VE GOT THATS WORTH A DING IS THE WATCH. POOR PA LEFT ME. I WOULD'NT PART WITH IT FOR ANYTHING Hampton sent a letter and telegram protesting to Howard University against the playing of Miller, but these protests were neither answered nor recognized. The Hampton team was taken to Washington and Mr. Williams renewed his protest in person, but Howard refused to play the game unless Miller played as a member of the team. Mr. Davis of Howard advised Mr. Williams that it was impossible to withdraw Miller from the lincup because the rabble could not be made to understand the situation. The game was played, but under protest. "Miller's name was submitted on the eligibility list of players to Lincoln University for participation in the game between Howard and Lincoln on Thanksgiving. Lincoln entered a protest against the use of Miller, but, for several days, there was no answer to the protest. Mr. U. S. Young, coach of Lincoln, and Dr. G. Alexander, grandmaster of Lincoln, sent an ultimatum to Howard advising that Lincoln would not play if Miller was not withdrawn. In replay to Dean G. Johnson, of Lincoln, Mr. E. J. Scott, indicated that for the sake of the expected attendance at the game, Miller would not be allowed to participate. "From the reading of the facts above, it must be very evident that, according to the rules of the Association and the rules of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University that Virginia Normal, Hampton and Lincoln are subjecting to the playing of Miller on the ground of the one-year residence rule. "It is also a fact worthy of note that during all the years of Howard's membership in the C. I. A. A. she has played students on her teams from her professional schools without a word of protest from the C. I. A. A. This attitude on the part of the C. I. A. A. would hardly be interpreted as a desire to crush Howard." "It would be entirely unfair for schools in the Association to develop athletes to play against Howard and then in one or two years to have these well developed athletes play for Howard against the institutions which had developed them without regulation governing such competition; nor is it fair to the student to proclaim that Howard is the primary environment more than four years. It is against his physical welfare and his educational development which is the primary object of his attendance at the various schools." While it is impossible to reprint the entire booklet, the Journal and Guide feels that it has published that part which has the facts of both sides. The Lincoln Case The correspondence carried on between Lincoln and the Association also is published, so only a few essential facts can here be published. However, those who desire the complete information can get it probably by writing to the Secretary of the C. I. A. A., who is situated at Hampton Institute. The action of the Association was to the effect that none of its members would schedule or play further games with Howard while she is a non-member. Lincoln, through her representatives, agreed in this meeting. Power of action or presence at Lincoln's meeting has not been the share of Lincoln's graduate manager, and Dean Johnson seemingly has had charge of affairs for Lincoln. He objected to the policy of the Association for various reasons, some justifiable of course, but as a whole not in accordance with the ideals of the C. I. A. A. The result of the whole matter was this: Lincoln decided to play Howard on Thanksgiving; The Association decided to act as the following from the pamphlet indicates; The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association in session at the Virginia University, Richmond, Virginia, Friary, February 13, 1925, adopted the following motion: "That the authorities of Lincoln University be informed that athletic relations between Lincoln University and members of the C. I. A. A. will be discontinuous as Lincoln continues to play Howard University and Howard remains out of the Association. "Further that this motion becomes effective from its adoption." "The C. I. A. A. does not feel that this motion is in any degree acuseeure measure, but it does feel that to continue to maintain relations with Lincoln University while Lincoln University continues relations with Howard University, since Howard University has a repudiated the Association and all that it stands for be entirely inconsistent. "The C. I. A. A. regrets the severance of relations with Howard and Lincoln University, for, in the opinion of the C. I. A. A., the membership of Howard and Lincoln in the Association has done much to raise the standards of competition in the Association and to develop a greater appreciation for athletics on the part of the Negro public." Undergoes Serious Operation Mr. William Marshall formerly of Norfolk, but now living in New York, with his sister, Mrs. Simmons, 292 W. 142nd street, underwent a serious operation at the Lincoln Hospital Jast week. Mr. Marshall is very much improved at this writing.

ATHLETIC BOARD FINALLYPUTSBAN ON JACKDEMPSEY Forfeits Checks Of Wills and Gibbons Returned by New York State Commission. New York, April 2—The Jack Dempsey case has been definitely closed by the State Athletic Commission in which it sought to force the world's heavyweight title holder into a championship tilt with Harry Wills and returned the certified check posted by the latter which the challenger had posted to bind the match. The possibility of Dempsey fighting again in the East unless he condescends from his present attitude and agrees to meet Wills is virtually eliminated by this action of the commission. It was stated that the commission will look with disapproval upon any promoter in New York State negotiating with Dempsey for a bout in any other state. This stand also bars the doors against any effort Tex Rickard might make to stage a fistic encounter in Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City which would involve the champion. The commission also returned the check posted by Tommy Gibbons when he challenged Dempsey about a week after Wills had posted his def.

NEWPORT NEWS Y' QUINT MAKES ENVIABLE RECORD Lose Only One Game Out Of Eight Starts-And That Game To Collegiate Champs By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Newport News, Va., April 3- Within the short space of a few months the Newport News Y. M. C. A. court combination has become a gem in the basketball environs. In the recently successfully completed campaign against college teams, David Gunn, noted fourletter man of Hampton Institute, with the magic power of a basketball Merlin, has lifted the standard 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 recognized merit. The record which it has made during the last season bears testimony to this fact, for in games against St. Paul, Hampton, Shaw, Union High, Union University, Virginia Seminary, Virginia Normal Institute, and A. and T. College, the "Y" lost only to Hampton Institute, which in turn won a second successive title. Long march to Heights The Newport News Y. M. C. A. 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 game 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 Thus this medium we wish to thank our many friends for the kindness shown us during the recent illness of Mrs. Sarah Woodard, 853 Washington avenue, and especially, Dr. O. J. Allen for the fine basket of fruit he carried her while she was confined in the hospital. From husband. Mr. G. Woodard.

Rev. R. H. Bowling officiating, Mr. Garrett was born in Indian Creek, but was brought to Norfolk at the age of six months and was reared by his grandmother, Mrs. Lucinda Simmons, now deceased. He was in Norfolk just one year ago when he was called to attend the church. Mr. Joseph Garrett, so Mr. Garrett has been a faithful employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad and was so highly esteemed that they sent a delegation of men down with the body.

Tweet: C. M. M. Robertson, Clerk. J. M. Harrison, p. q. by A. M. Brown. Deputy Clerks with the careful coaching of H. A. Taylor, now basketball coach at St. Paul, followed through the march of years by O. M. Brown, T. O. Randolph, Chas. F. McGhoe and this season by David L. Gunn a team has been developed, as Mr Williams said, which compares favorably with most teams of the country. Speaking further on the success of the basketball team, Mr. Williams the Secretary, said: "Mr Gunn has developed an unusually good team I think. This sport has been the medium for much good contact with some of the best schools and colleges of the country and has given much publicity to the "Y" here." Coach Praises Team 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 are 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 possible moment which, I 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 Captain during the season and a most dependable player. Were space to it the writer could cite instance after 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 success in baseball, football, and volleyball. Playing forward with Robinson is Linwood Brown, elusive, smooth, and capable assistant in the forward attack. He began to play in 1918 and is outstanding in all other sports. The third member of the galloping three who carried the "Y's" offense is Clarence Pinner, a baseball player also. This finished player began his court career at the "Y" 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 the business of breaking up opposing rallies and sallies. Coleman began his playing at the "Y" in 1920. He engages in all other sports for the "Y." Cooke came here in 1918, and with Coleman has been instrumental in holding down the opposing 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 forward. While not consistent, Cannady was brilliant during his periods of good performances. Too much credit cannot be given the players who composed the second string men—the men who aided the varsity to repulse so many teams. Among these are: Isaac Coles and W. Coles, both of whom began playing in 1923, and who participate in other sports and William Stokes, who began in 1924 and who plays football and everything. All of these players will be on hand when next year's call is given for basketball. These and a few others are the men who have put the local "Y" team in line for comparison with The Best Way —to buy coffee, with a view to economy and satisfaction—is to compare Kenny's Popular 100 Coffee with the best 100 kinds sold in cars.

Now that the Spring sports are under way it is well to place the basketball team as an example for the other in different sports. Truly, when one witnesses the "Y" team in action during its best moments one is reminded of the poem of Browning's which suggests these lines to us: They sprang to the battle as for their lives; They galloped, Gunn galloped, they galloped all five; "Good work!" cried the crowd, as first blood the "Y" drew; "Steady!" echoed the Coach's words as to victory they went galloping through; Behind fell the opponents, unable to pass the test. And into victory the Five galloped abreast. -- SUES FOR SHOE IN MUD -- Leagrate, Eng.—Mrs. Susan Arnold has sued the village board for the price of a shoe she lost in the mud on the main street.

COMING SOON "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice" Depicting the Rise Progress of the Presented by Best Local Talent of the City---Under Auspices Dramatic Club MONUMENTAL A. M. E. CHURCH PAGE SIX DECLARES CHURCH MUST KEEP PACE WITH PROGRESS Says Country Pastors Should Live Among Their People; Would Have Baseball Teams And Tennis Courts. Before a recent weekly meeting of the Norfolk-Portsmouth Ministers' Confer- ence held in the First Baptist Church, of this city, Rev. A. S. Heard, of Portsmouth, delivered what has been rehearsed as the most singular and striking treaties on "The Country Church and its Problems," ever heard by local people to minister outlining the outcage A. standing difficulties in the way of progress for the rural church and suggested remedies. Said he in Rev. A. S. Honour part: The first and foremost institution in the open country is the rural church. It holds first place in spiritual and economic life of rural people. The first great duty incumbent upon her is to build the Kingdom, and bear a light of the Gospel, which leads men to salvation. "It is for the most part the only social agency that country people have. It in teacher, protector and inspirer of all rural people. "A great change in the attitude toward the rural church has come about in the last twenty-five years. She was a power during the four decades from 1750 to 1850, that time the went forth by leaps and bounds. She practiced an evangelism that really evangelized. Many were brought into the kingdom through the great revivals of that time. "A further study of the history of the rural church discloses that she held her own from 1840 up 1870. During these thirty years she was in the height of power. She made no approvable progress, neither did she go back, but market time. After 1870 there were some market social and economic changes, which started the church down the inline plane, and that time she has gone steadily down. "Before the ideal can be reached as so forth in our definition of the rural church it will be necessary for the church to solve many difficult problems. Must Overcome Tendency to Migrate "The rural church must meet and overcome the ever increasing tendency of the best and most useful people to leave the rural communities. This is one of the greatest problems that confront the country church. It is obvious that the church is compelled to must grow and support it, especially countering to the effects. A recent rural survey showed that there are 10,000 abandoned churches in the United States. Houses, many of which have served as meeting places for country people are now used for barns and corn crib. A more recent survey reveals that there are four million children growing up in the United States rural communities, whose lives are not being touched with any form of religious instruction. It is not difficult to see what awful conditions will prevail in the cities when this 'heated population' is turned over to them for assimilation. Another Problem "Securing a leadership constitutes another problem of the country church. A rural leadership means a class of people with rural minds, who are capable of leading in things that will help rural people. "The principal leadership of the rural districts resides in the country church. To be the best leader who can inspire his people to work for them, he must be trained for it, and have a rural mind. He will not have it until our seminaries put in a course in rural sociology, and we have teachers with rural minds who will lay forely upon the hearts of men leaving school that the rural community needs trained leadership. **Keep in mind** problem has to do with keeping "Aim problem in touch with members that leave for a home city. Many of our members are holding membership in the city churches by no authority of the rural church, but because they have been persuaded by the pastor in the city, who is anxious to get members. There is no use to say anything about the police. In the Negro church, the police are not so we do as we please. Some of the rural members are told that they have been "watch-care members" for a certain period. We know that such a statement is a distortion of the truth, and such a tendency is masculine the rural church. **Resident Ministers** "Another problem of large moment the rural church must solve, is the one of securing trained resident ministry. No minister can do his best work—not even fair work—living in a city forty miles from his church. He should live on the field among his people. Absence landlordship is one of the chief causes of agricultural decline. A country church is not any easier to work than from them, and any more readily to absorb treatment." "Most of the non-resident ministers live under electric lights, while their churches with their difficult problems are in the country. Think of it, our own Princess Anne County does not have a single Baptist pastor living on the field and only one of any denomination living among his people. How in the name of religion can these churches stay in the way to the minister members?" Northampton and Accoma are now waking up and are making larger provisions for their pastors and are demanding their presence on the field. And the minister too, in order to do his best work, must have a rural mind. "The rural preacher must be married to his church and must be where he can sit his side and hold her hand, and feel her heurt thut, otherwise she will never do the work that she should do. The ability of the rural church to create and maintain proper recreation for the community constitutes another momentous problem but is shaping their need but recreation is just as necessary as prayer meeting. If we are to hold the rural population in the country, we must do more than have Sunday school and prayer meeting. We must have some fun. The church must take the lead in recreation and community betterment. Rolling wooden balls on the lawn and calling it croquet, and rolling ivory balls on the table and calling it pool are both harmless games, but we would not advise you to put up a fence in your church, or baseball clubs, basketball clubs, corn clubs, chicken clubs, etc. They should have regular meetings, followed by a social hour at the church, if there is nowhere else to have it. There should be a tennis court in our church community, and above all things there should be a fine baseball team, for which we would be able to teach the boys to play fair, so that they would play fair in the game of life. Such games teach boys how to be merry and laugh. There are some boys who are poor. There are bright, so long as they sit in the bat but when their side is out they stick in their mouths and want to fight. What would be finer in a rural community than a game of ball between teams of two of its churches some Saturday afternoon, or any holiday, and the members of each routing for its team. That church is most spiritual that is rendering the most practical and helpful service to all phases of community life. Young people are going to get relief in abode to nature and not in your church, then times of questionable meeting are going to meet. The rural church must lead the way to the proposed place. Lack of Vision "Overcoming lack of vision among rural people is another problem that confronts those who labor in the country very few country people have a vision. When you take a trained man and put him to work in a one-sided, fossilized community with a set of deceptions that are as blind as bats, who stand with sledgehammer and wrecking bar, to be down everything the man of vision—the preacher—starts it naturally puts a long "The minister cannot live in the community on promises, however, any more than he can live in the city on promises. He also must have some conveniences that will in a large way lighten his burdens. His salary should be a living one, so that he can educate his children and provide something for a rainy day. In this day of speed, he should have an automobile so that he could readily get over his field. He should have a plot of ground on which he could demonstrate to the farmers around him, how far the earth the plants which support the rural area could be more in over-crowded-churched rural districts. In Ware Neck, Gloucester county, where not more than four hundred church people, there are three churches. If these churches were scrambled it would be better for the Kingdom. "The minister who preaches on Sunday about lilies and trees planted by the rivers of water, and on Monday tells the farmer how to select insecticides for lilies chewing insects has made a great contribution to rural community, than a dozen who merely preach holdish sermons and grub their carpet bags and "The country church is built on things that surround the country people, and the asomer the country preacher recognizes that face, the country preacher is able to church people." STRIKING SERMON HEARD AT FIRST BAPTIST, BERKLEY Tide of Emotion Sweeps Congregation As Consecration and Evangelism Are Declared Hope of The Church. Every seat in the large auditorium of the First Baptist Church, Horkey revenue, was taken at the morning service Sunday morning to hear the pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond, discuss the subject: "The Hope of the Church." The sermon was one soothing power and the vast audience was visibly moved. Every seat in the h the First Baptist Chu Hasing his remarks on his 609.4. 'Thou sora shall come from Rev. J.C. Diamond far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side," the speaker called attention to the fact that the 60th chapter of Isaiah begins with a riring call to the church to measure up to its opportunities. Living for the light is come. The new art and science of all material things more forward in leaps and bounds, the church must shake off the shackles of custom which bind it to a dead past and having taken on new life and vigor, takes its proper place in the vanguard of the march of a rapidly moving civilization. Must Lose Its Handicaps Two things, the speaker continued, the church must at once discard if it hopes to have any permanent influence in the shaping of the policies of this and future generations. The first is the idea of a dual religion. One for the church and one for everywhere, the church whose members by their daily disregard of the principle of the Sabbath professions of the Sabbath service is promptly passed up by the world with the unmerciful it merits. The World Wants to See Jeun The world, said he, is hungry for the spiritual, it wants to see Jesus. It has found out to its bitter sorrow that the busks of materialism and worldly pleasure are in from factory as a steady it. It wags no eyes. SETS STANDARDS HIGH FOR PYTHIANS TO LIVE UP TO Dr. Allen Delivers Burning Message to K. of P. And Courts of Calanthe, in Annual Sermon. The large auditorium of First Calvary Baptist Church was packed Sunday at 3 p. m., to listen to t. h. the annual Thanksgiving Services of the K. of P. Courts of the City Rank and Quick Steps. A. A splendid program was carried out, preceding the sermon, addresses were delivered on Pythianism and Cathetheism, which gave must information on the order of the order. Dr. Allen chose as a text, 1 Samm, Rev. O. J. Allen 14:13; And John Anderson climbed and his armour bearer after him." Subject, "Life Lessons from Ancient Knights." Said he, "1. We must notice the goodness of God in restraining the Philistians who had a vast army of valiant men in the field, from falling upon that full of timorous men even people that would have swallowed up at once; of the bravery and piety of Jonathan, the son of Saul, who was much fitter than the father to wear the crown. He resolved to go unknown to his father or the army—made his plans, worked them and the people saw the results." The speaker said it is a good idea to keep your business and plans to yourself—and not so around talking to what your plans are for people will hear you off. Jonathan, like all true Knights should be, he encouraged his armour-bearer. If you read the first six verses of this chapter you will see how this brave man under God was willing to throw, encourage given his helper, they went and came back victorious. Said he, "Many men and women in the ranks have become discouraged and you and I should stop and drop a word of cheer by the way." The speaker emphasizes the fact that these men have become alone—also that history shows that the men of the ages were men who left the crowds and went to foster their God-given tasks. In Norfolk it takes a brave man to leave the crowds and walk the narrow way, when the broad avenues are crowded with merry-making people enroute to hell. Further, these men were not cowards with faces covered with front, steel or brass—but went in the strength of their manhood. "Come we will discover ourselves to the enemy." So the world needs men like these, who will come up with a man and make a fair fight with a coward man or woman, who under disguise will make any individual. Finally, these men, before reaching their goal or attaining this wonderful victory, had to climb through the rocks. If we are to be people that shall stand upon the great mountain of Christian fortitude, we must climb, and keep climbing. Dr. Allen had emphasis upon the following points: We must climb the rocks or, 1. Self-respect. No man can be respected that does not respect himself. 2. Racial Cooperation. We are too much divided, in unity there is strength. There are about 300 lodges in Norfolk and if each one would give 100 to two lodges, the lodge temple Nottle that would make the United States Capital smile. Thus enormous amount of rentals could be turned into treasures to pay the sick and bury the dead. We should patronize Negro business and build up a unity that will make our strength felt in Virginia. 3. Truth and Honesty. The speaker related the story of Damon and Pythias, showing how true and honest one was 4. Spiritual plea. Dr. Allen said, "With all the uniforms and badges and degrees and ritualistic ceremonies, no one can be a true Knight who has not been born again." At the close of the sermon about twelve men, and, after forward upon the invitation of the speaker, who sang, "I Am In His Care" and seven accepted Christ. it can see Him in the lives of His followers it will never see Him. The person that has caused the name of Enoch to come ringing down the age is set forth in the statement that he "walked with that means not one day in the seek but seven." Ten Day Revival Doomed Another relic of the inefficiency of a past age is the ten-day revival film which as a rule nobody is revived period once a year, while for the other eleven and one half months both saints and saints are left to their own doom. The preacher this time, too, demands the preacher and searches the valleys and even reaches up into the stars for flowers to bedeck their "beds of ease" painting weekly pictures of robes and crows and gold paved streets which will be waiting when the sleeps awaken. The church needs to go back to Pentecost with its idea of adding to the church daily those being saved. At the close of the service an appeal was made for greater conservation and it met with an unusual response. Scores came forward, many in tears, to pledge themselves to a closer walk with God. The statement was also made that this church in its effort to get back to the "daily" saving of souls of the primitive church had been instrumental in the saving of forty persons in the last ninety The Bible class continues to grow.

Needleman was not so badly injured but he was able to walk back to Williamston. After his wounds had been dressed he was taken to the hospital at Washington. A message from there stated that his condition was very satisfactory. It is not known how long it will be before he will be able to come here for his preliminary hearing. The crime with which Needleman is charged is alleged to have been committed against Miss Effic Griffin, of Griffin township, this county. The feeling here is that there is no doubt of his guilt of the crime and one report was that he had boasted of the deed. He is about 20 years of age. He has been in the neighborhood only two weeks. "SANCTIFICATION" (Continued from Page One) and to develop them. What was the spiritual state of the Ephesians? What now is the state of the present generations yet to be born in the Kingdom?" Rev. Long eloquently exclaimed. He said: "The Ephesians lived under the dominion of the flesh; they were slaves to carnal appetites and passions. They did not walk after the spirit nor after the truth and commandants of God, but were controlled by their flesh, their passions, their appetites under the full dominion of the power of sin. They kept the laws of the flesh. The tendency of their lives CHURCH DIRECTORY GRACE P. E.

Before we became Christians there was no life power and no real spirituality manifested in our lives," the pastor continued. "Speaking of the Ephesians, their condition before embracing Christianity hore no revelation of the coming Christ. The prophets of old prophesied of the coming of Christ 700 years beforehand, but to the Gentiles there were no such revelations. "No prophet was found among the sons of the Gentiles. They possessed no knowledge of the coming of the Redeemer. They obtained such knowledge as they had from the Jews in their captivity. Nothing of the work of the atonement was among their contemplations. The Jews regarded the advent of Christ as a calamity. They exercised no faith in Him, nor did the Gentiles trust Him. They sought for deliverance from sin by their signs, and their culture, but not from Christ," was a graphic D.P. ST LOOK FOR THE Y D. P. ANGEL FOOD, 9 ounce D. P. Ring Sponge, 16 oz. ca D. P.

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. Health Week A Sample for a Year's Supply Well, it seems that all radios Romeos and Julietts, and other folks are all tuned up for the National Health Week. The Health Week isn't exactly hitting on all six wet. The dates vary some still, but we try to make it as early in the Spring as possible, the earlier you spring if for the Southland where winter is mostly spring anyhow, the better. The National Negro Health Week, is April 5 to 11. Do, let's all help to put this over right.

"During my life I have seer slavery abolished the world over," writes Mr. Storey, "I have seen serfdom abolished in Russia," he seen the emperors of France, Turkey, Russia, Austria and Germany, swept from their thrones, and their places taken by the representatives of free peoples. Bearing these facts in mind, I want you to realize that the tide of freedom is rising the world over, and that its progress is irresistible. 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. "During my life I have seen slavery, abolished the world over, I have seen serfdom ended in Russia, I have seen the emperors of France, Turkey, Russia, Austria and Germany swept from the thrones, and their places taken by the representatives of free people, Bearing these facts in mind I want you to realize that the tide of freedom is rising the world over, and that its progress is irresistible. 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. Take no backward step, urge our fellow-citizens to join our organization, to fight with us and not stand by mere lookers on. That is a position of which every colored man should be ashamed. His help is needed and the larger our force the sooner will come our sure success." Rosenwald Budget Reaches $475,630 For Education In The Southern States A Sweet Breath at all times!

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE AGED MAN REFUSED TO DIE; UPSETS A WELL LAID PLOT Uncle Stephen Huntley Declined To Die At Appointed Time And Now Fights For Rights. (Special to Journal and Guide) Charlotte, N. C. April 3—Fate upset a deep-laid scheme and gave Uncle Stephen Huntley, aged race man, extra years of life in which to fight for the birthrights of his children in a situation inferentially set forth in a complaint filed in superior court here on March 20th. The case is more interesting than important. It involves two building lots, on one of which is the home which Stephen built for his second wife, his children and her children in Cherrytown. The present trouble he complains, is that her children are taking advantage of a deed he made them when they persuaded him he was soon to die two years ago. He did not die, but made the deed, he admits, and is now threatened with ejection—he and his own children. He called to his aid J. Cliff Newell and H. L. Taylor, who are fighting the battle for him. The lawyers searched the records and having done so set the contention that Stephen had no right to make the deed, that under the terms of purchase he could not convey the property to his wife or any one until the property was paid for, that they held it only as "tenants by entitleies." Became Ill Two Years Ago Huntley claims that two years ago he became ill and that his intelligence was affected, that Dewitt Lovitte, his step-son, persuaded him that his death was imminent and that in order to properly provide for his wife—Witt's mother—he should deed the property to her which he did. A twist of fate, however, arranged that Huntley should survive his illness, regain his mind, and live to see his wife, then supposedly in full possession of property, become ill and die. According to the arrangements he complains, the property is solely of her estate and subject to the will of her exclusive heirs and that they now threaten to eject him and his son. in an effort to save the property for himself and his children he entered suit to have the deed of 1923 declared of no effect.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
