Hurls 9 Year Old Brother To Death. DEED UNPARALLELED IN SHOCKING ASPECTS (Special to Journal and Guide) Raleigh, N. C., June 4. Surpassing in its brutality and human depravity anything that has been recorded in criminal annals of the country in many years, not even excluding the notorious Leopold-Loeb murder case of Chicago, is the atrocity revealed in a story carried in Saturday's issue of the Raleigh News and Observer, describing a crime against a 15-year-old girl at Rockingham, N. C., and her nine-year-old brother charged to two young white men. "The most shocking crime that has been committed in Richmond county in years—if the story told by two Negro children is correct," says the Observer in alluding to this crime. Here is the story: Frustrated in their efforts to assault a young Negro girl two miles southeast of Rockingham, two young white men then seized her 15-year-old brother, stripped him and threw him into the adjacent fish-pond, three to sink head-foremost and drown like a dog. That in brief sums up the most shocking crime that has been committed in Richmond county in years—if the story is told by three Negro children is correct. Thursday morning Sheriff Baldwin arrested a young white man, W. W. Ward, out at Hannah Pickett Mill, and carried him to the home of the Negro family. The 15-year-old girl says he is one of the two young men that tried to assault her and then threw her little brother into the pond. "Snake饥" an old Negro at the County Home, says the young man is one of the bunch who he saw. (Continued on Page 2.) A CIVIC-INTEREST DRIVE LAUNCHED BY THRIFT CLUB Young Men Of City To Start Aggressive Campaign To Arouse Colored Citizens To Interest In Civic Problems. A movement is being launched here this week by the Commercial Thrift Club, an organization of enterprising and progressive young men of the city, having for its object the stimulation of a greater civic interest among the colored citizenship. This movement, according to officials of the club, promises to be unprecedented in scope and intensity. Sectional, denominational and class lines are to be smashed and the urge to greater civic interest and more civic activity carried to every group, organization and individual wherever practicable, in the city. Every phase of activity that goes to make up a well-rounded citizenship will be stressed in the campaign. Particularly will the colored people be urged to acquaint themselves with local public affairs, health, sanitation and recreation as these things affect them as a group. The attitude of those promoting the movement, according to the chairman of the committee, is not to encourage a destructively critical attitude, that is to foster racial discontent, but to endeavor to arouse colored citizens to an attitude of wholesome and constructive restlessness with conditions as they are. The plan of the Commercial Thrift Club for carrying out its object is to invite a committee of three from the various organizations of the city to meet with the club in a general meeting to devise and formulate plans by which interest in civic affairs may be promoted. Each organization is being asked to appoint a strong committee of public-spirited individuals to meet with the Thrift Club to center whole-heartedly in a study of community problem. The announcement of the movement to be instituted by the members of the Commercial Thrift Club has been received with considerable public interest. It is generally believed that very tangible benefits can be derived from such a step as they have outlined.

Throughout the day, cemeteries were lined with a procession of mourners: mothers, wives, daughters, grandparents and other relatives. From early morning, which dawned fair and clear, these duty bound people made their way to the city of tombs to pay their respect. The veterans took the lead in honoring the dead canaries. The first vanishing Grand Army of the Republic turned out in their small number, some being too old and feudal to letter along in the line of march but were there in spirit. All of them soon to be surrendered to a new strength of that time of year and wish to do their bit for those who fought side by side with them. They made their way to the various points of assembly sustained during the ordained by their pledge to have nothing undone to show their still living love for their comrades who have joined that innumerable caravan and taken their chamber in the silent hall of death where each shall eventually wend his way.

It will continue in session for one week. Owing to that of the Elks which is scheduled to be held in Richmond, Vn., during the same month, and to the fact that many of the Sons are members of the Elks, it has been arranged by the Sons of Norfolk (to call their convention during a week that will not prevent any of their brother Elks from going to Richmond.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Photo LENS STUDIO NOMA ELLIAH NEWSOM KITTRELL COLLEGE ENTERS UPON ERA OF BIG EXPANSION College Becomes Important Factor In North Carolina's Educational Program And An Outstanding Institution. OFFICERS OF COLLEGE NOTED BUSINESS MEN Durham, N. C., June 21—North Carolina's educational program has attracted national attention. The work of the state has recently received impetus from private individuals, the like of which has hardly been paralleled. Most conspicuous among these donors is the Duke family. The recent J. B. Duke Foundation of forty million dollars primarily for education in the Carolinas is the high spot in educational development. Mr. Benjamin N. Duke, tobacco magnate of Durham and New York, brother to Mr. J. B. Duke has further enhanced the value of the educational facilities of North Carolina by a gift of $200,000 to Kittrell College, an institution located at Kittrell about 50 miles from Durham and owned by the African Methodist Episcopal Church in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Gift Secured By Hawkins This gift was secured primarily through Mr. John R. Hawkins, fiscal agent and former president of the school. Mr. Hawkins is an integral part of the life and history of the A. M. E. Church, being at present Financial Secretary of that great denomination. Mr. Hawking enjoys the confidence and personal esteem of the Duke family, having known them for thirty years. The gift is practically unconditional except that $100,000 of it consisting of stock in the Southern Power company is designated as endowment. This particular gift was the result of a few conferences between Mr. Duke and Mr. Hawkins followed by investigation made by Mr. Duke's representatives. The check for $100,000 was issued and delivered to Mr. Hawkins by Mr. Duke in person following a conference in New York City. The school's program was discussed in detail. The $100,000 given in cash will be used in the erection of an additional and much needed building, work on which will be begun at once. Kittrell College has been in existence forty years. Many of its graduates have achieved prominence. It bids fair to surpass its earlier achievements in the field of education. School Fostered by Dukes Kittrell has been fostered to an extent by the Duke family for many years, their money being re- (Continued on Page 2.) 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers LEAPS OFF LEE'S BRIDGE;RESCUES 2 GIRLS,3 BOYS Elijah Newsom, Of Postal Service Has His Afternoon Of Crabbing Interrupted To Become A Life Saver. BOAT OVERTURNED WITH HUMAN CARGO An afternoon planned to be spent peacefully crabbing off Lee's bridge, Chapel street extended, was brought to an abrupt end for Elijah Newsome, 712 Goff street, and a member of the post office motor vehicle service Saturday by circumstances which made him a hero for the day. Five children, three boys and two girls ranging in ages from 8 to 17 years were on the bridge crabbing and so was Elijah Newsome. Evidently crabs were not biting rapidly enough near the bridge for the children, so they decided to try their luck out stream. Procuring a rowboat they piled in crabbing paraphernalia, jumped in behind it and shoved off. When about 50 yards out the boat gracefully descended below the surface on account of an overload. The five frightened children scampered here and there in the water about 10 feet deep. Watched From Bridge Newswire was on the their expedition from the bridge. When the boat went down he immediately realized that there was imminent danger of drowning of all five of the children. Without taking the time to doff his clothes, which were the same he had worn at his work during the morning, he leaped into the water, swam about fifty feet out, and thru rare presence of mind quickly succeeded in huddling all of the children on top of the overturned boat. Stroking with his feet and free hand for several feet he kept the craft moving toward shore, meanwhile pleading with the boys and girls to sit quiet. Realizing that he was in shallow water, Newswire tried for the bottom several times, only to find that it was beyond reach of his legs, which meant he had to swim further. Newswire says finally one foot touched bottom. He then waded the balance of the distance, the water in some places reaching his chin. Working heroically for shore, however, he finally landed his cargo on the banks from where it started. Some of the children, probably all of them their lives to Elijah Newswire, the hero, whose afternoon of crabbing had been spoiled and his own life risked. With mud and water dripping from his clothes Newsome made off for home. The children were Essie McClain, Elsie Whitehurst, William Whitehurst, Anthony Whitehurst and Samuel Miller, all of 032 Denhart street. If Newsome's act is related to the proper authorites, he probably will be considered eligible for a Carnegie hero medal. 23COLOREDVICTIMS OF CAROLINA MINE DISASTER CHECKED Funeral Procession Continues Unbroken Its Sombre Tramp As Relatives Of Dead Take Charge of Bodies NAMES OF COLORED MINE VICTIMS Out of mine and identified: Will trick, Port Hott, S.

Plecker, State registrar of Vital Statistics, has just issued figures covering of births and deaths of infants in the State for the year 1924 as compared to those of 1923 and compiled according to races. These figures show that there were reported to his department 64,243 living births and 19,814 living colored births during the year. "It is gratifying to announce," says Dr. Plecker, that maternal deaths dropped from 482 in 1923 to 394 in 1924, of which 208 were white and 137 colored. There was one mother's death to every 100 living children, while in 1923 there was one to every 137. Of the white maternal deaths, there was one to each 212 living children, and of colored, there was one to every 104, the colored rate being over double the white, due largely, we believe to their en-agement of mid-wives. "Colored deaths from septicemia however, continued to drop from 78 in 1922, and 60 in 1923 to 55 in 1924, due, we believe almost wholly so the imperative demands that mid-wives must not make, digital examinations."

Notice to Contestants GOLDEN BROWN Beauty Contest Important Change in Method of Awardiug First Prize of Hudson Super Six Coach Madame Mamie Hightower has decided that it will be much more satisfactory to all concerned and particularly to the contestants, to award the first prize (Hudson Super-Six Coach) outright to contestant having highest number of votes, instead of leaving this award to decision of judges. This obviates of course the necessity of judges, but instead of judges there will be a reception committee composed of leaders of the Race, who will present the Hudson Super-Six Coach to the one of the five girls at Atlantic City who has already received highest number of votes. --- SO RORS OBSERVE VOCATIONAL WEEK MAY 31-JUNE 6TH Local College Women Seeking To Counsel and Guide Young Women Graduates In Choice of Life's Endeavor. L. Ann Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is holding a annual Vocational Guidance Center. The drive was inaugurated with three-minute speeches by members of the sorority in the various churches of Tidewater, Parents and friends were urged to cooperate with the organization. On Monday, Mrs. Olive C. Peters, an instructor at Hampton Institute, spoke at the chapel exercises of Booker T. Washington High School. Mrs. Effie Mae Ballock addressed the students of L. C. Norcom High School, Mrs. Madeline Foreman, an instructor at Hampton Institute, was in charge of the observance at Huntington High, Newport News and Union Street High, Hampton. The speakers stressed the fact that all girls are fitted to enter some field of activity by their physical, mental attributes, general tendencies and preferences. it is important that student shall study herself and her preference and then decide, the field in which she will do her life's work. When this choice is made in high school it prevents a student from stimulating by chance into a life time job. Questionaires were given to the girls. These were filled out, returned and filed for future reference. Information was thus gained concerning choice of vocation, choice of school where further courses can be pursued and ability to future expenses. The sorority hopes to act as a clearing house, putting the girls in touch with agencies which will be able to aid financially, if students are unable to all obligation. A study of the selections mad shows that girls are entering curied fields. They have been divided into groups which will be carly supervised and given individual attention by the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. The groups are under the direction of the following sorors of Booker T. Washington High School: Nursing and medicine, Vivian France. Social Service, Margaret Lawrence. Teaching, Emune Brickhouse and Evelyn Lightner. Law and Business, Irma Linus, or. Household Art, Grace Elliott. Music, Helia Lawrence. At the L.C.

White Men Charged With Henious Crime (Continued From Page One) pass near the Home Monday morning. Denies Knowledge of Affair Ward, on the other hand, denies all knowledge of the affair. He is said to have stated that he and another fellow, Jimmie Maclemon left here Monday afternoon and started walking to Montrose in search of another job. Maclemon is understood to be at McCollnow, and Deputy George Seawell left Rockingham in search of him. In the meantime, Ward is in jail here awaiting developments. He may be entirely innocent, but further investigation will either weave a stronger net around him, or clear him of suspicion entirely. The scene of the assault and drowning is a fish pond two miles southeast of Rockingham, on the West Broos, peach farm a boy three-fourths of a mile east of the County Home. Girl's Statement Between 9 and 10 o'clock Monday morning, May 25th, the children of Mrs. Easter Bright, a colored widow, were at the head of this little pond, the oldest, a girl to do the family wash. According to her statement, two young white men and two white boys, came by apparently going to the pond to go in swimming. One of the men made a proposal to her, and then grabbed her, and begin tearing her dress, at the same time pulling her close to him, with the other man pushing her. She struggled and scratched and finally managed to bite his wrist. Either that, or the noise made by the yelling of the children, caused the men to turn her loose. They then, she says, grabbed Elijah, her 9-year-old brother, and stripped him, carried him to the pond 50 yards away, put him in the boat, moved out into the middle of the small pond, and then either made him jump over or threw him over. Very likely they thought to get out of seeing him swim to shore. But the lad could not swim. Instead he went down and the waters closed over his struggles. The man or men then pushed ashore, no doubt alarmed at what they had done, and made off across the dam and down through the woods. Inquest Heid Coroner A. M. Smith held an inquest, with a jury consisting of G. H. Hardison, Geo. P. Entwistle Jr., J. T. West Jr., G. A. Seawell, A. G. Attkinson and H. G. McLaney. After examining the girl, and hearing corroborating statements from her 10-year-old brother, Walter, and 6-year-old brother, James, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by h-writing at the hands of a party. or parties, unknown." Solicitor F. Don Phillips was present and questioned the witnesses for the Coronet. Some folks were rather skeptical at first, believing that the children had perhaps stripped and gone in wading (none of them could swim) and then ridden in the boat and that the little fellow had fallen out; and that then the girl, who is about 15 years old, and not particularly quick witted, had invented the story in order not to be blamed for not keeping the boy out of the water. On the other hand, it is not conceivable that she could have made up such a plausible tale, and forced the two young children to corroborate her, in such a short time that elapsed between his getting into the water and giving the alarm. Her story is generally believed to be correct. Black Cross Ship -Puts In Home Port After Ill-Fated Trip (Special to The Journal and Guide) New York, N. Y., June 3—The Black Cross Line ship, Booker T.

Mr. Duke has no doubt been impressed by the great solidness of self-help at Kittrell College. Apart from the thousands of dollars contributed annually by the membership of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in North Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia and Maryland, there are two buildings on the campus representing gifts from individual Negroes. —The Martha Merrick Library, given by the late John Merrick and the Model School building given by W. G. Pearson, both of Durham. When the boys' dormitory was proposed Negroes made individual subscriptions of various amounts up to $14,000. The ministers of the A. M. E. Church in the Second Episcopal District base for years sacrificed a part of their small earnings for the support of the school, and when Mr. Hawkins announced the gift of Mr. Duke there was great rejoicing. These evidences of self-help with the splendid management and impassioned integrity of Mr. Hawkins do doubt greatly influenced Mr. Duke to help people who are doing so much to help themselves. The next building to be erected will be an Administration Building named Angier B. Duke, for the son of the donor. Another striking feature about Kittrell College is its management.

It is any secret organization with a large NEW SECRET ORGANIZATION The wife-awake reporter on the outfit of the Razberry hose has come across some startling information which was difficult to understand. There seems to be a secret organization functioning here with a larger roster of members. Of course there is a number of those who are obligate members, but there are also those who admitly are affiliated with the order. The organization is by no means new. It is as old as the times and had its origin in the membership is larger than any other known organization on the face of the earth, and that's not saying a little bit, but there are others of the clan and on the other tandem are those who don't give a rap. Who the president and officers are, no one knows. The name of the secret order is the "R. U. of. D. H. of. W." These babies do not know how fortunate they are in being members of the order includes some of the noted personages in the city, which proves that it is not a safety exclusive. The roster may be seen at Keng's Confederationary and Exclusive. The roster is democratic and exclusive.

Phone for reservations, 26353 It Aint Gonna Rain No More Our Policy Raleigh, North Carolina June 1—Battling through some of the keenest competition seen in intercollegiate ranks, the team representing Va. Normal of Petersburg, swept through to a brilliant victory in the doubles championship of the C. I. A. A. held at Shaw University, Saturday, May 23, with almost perfect weather, and a large crowd, with representatives from every school in the association on hand, this tournament proved to be one of the biggest events of the sport season. Play started exactly at 9 a.m., and continued until darkness caused the calling off of the finals of the singles with Va. Normal and Shaw in a perfect deadlock. The tournament started with doubles matches; Shaw playing St. Paul and Union playing A. & T. After some very bitter games Shaw eliminated St. Paul 6-3, 6-2. Union and A. & T. proved to be more evenly matched. A. & T. won the first set 20-18, but fell down under the terrific strain losing the next two sets 6-0, 6-4. In the semi-finals Shaw continued to comp eliminate Hampton 6-2, 6-2, but Union met her waterloo in Va. Normal going down 2-6, 2-6. The finals in doubles brought two brilliant teams together. Shaw playing a driving game and Va. Normal playing a deadly safe game. Va. Normal took the first set 6-2. Shaw the second 12-10, Va. Normal the third 6-4. The singles proved to be equally interesting. Baker of the victorious double team showed exceptional endurance and carried his fight up to the finals with Armstrong of Shaw. The match being called after Baker won the first set 7-5, Armstrong the second set 7-5, and the games standing one all in the third because of darkness. It was decided by the committee to play the pitcher over on Thursday, May 27, at Van Neumil. A hard-one love cup and individual medals were the prizes for the winners in doubles and singles. The cup to be the permanent possession of the school winning it three times. The officiating was exceptionally good. Such men as Mr. Anderson, Va., State champion, Dr. Vass, and Furlong, Mr. Cook, Rynnam, Inhorden of Carolina tennis fame and a group of Shaw students have the hearty thanks of the committee for their kind assistance in making this tournament such a huge success. Special mention should be made of Mr. Green tennis manager of Shaw for his untiring successful efforts in entertaining the many guests of the University during the tournament. Summary DOUBLES—Shaw vs St. Paul 6-3, 6-3; Union vs A. & T. 18-20 6-0, 6-4; Shaw vs Hampton, 6-2 6-2; Union vs V. Normal, 2-6, 2-6; Shaw vs Va. Normal, 2-6, 12-10 4-6. Edited by WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR HIGH SCHOOL GOING TO THE DOGS We note with much displeasure the laxity that is existing in the leasen high school system. A half-million dollar high school with a student body of over fifteen humiliated failed to have a representative at the Hampton Trail Meet. Even schools from far South Carolina were on hand to display their ware on the cinder path-ways. Norcum from Portsmouth was there. It seems that the teachers leave their interest in the advancements of their pupils at the school when the last bell rides for the day ending the work. The Razzberry would suggest that some of them who take automobile rides during recess would use some of their spare time in some other place. The better the teachers do the same. When you do not want a child to do it in its presence, it is not any too safe to do it behind their works and no feeding. We hope this situation will be cleared up soon. ANOTHER WEEK OF NON-PUBLICATION We are very, very sorry indeed, that we did not live up to our promise. We the publishers of the *Hazberry* came out in print and assured the whole fattened public that it would not have to go another week without a paper. It as it may appear, we have broken our promise, but it was not without a cause. The follow employee that we had to jump into the crisis to come out of it, and not bring any more money on the balance we had left from that sum dropped down a hole and that left us without any funds at all. The other employees are playing safe and do not bring any more money with them. We have leased him to hear from our subscribers but as yet, no of them. It will be a consultation to have a hearing that we do such a thing. We are unable to stop prevaricating on a subscriber campaign and ask the public to contribute something to our budget. All those desiring to help a worthy cause may do so by writing the Editor. By all means, this cause is as worthy as the Community Center. If the Chest Fund has money to give for nothing or no service to return to the Hazberry or the Razberry for some of it. Of course, we are for part time publication, nor are we for a charity, which to house the Editor and his family (he has not family). If he did he could not support it on his salary.

SHAW BEARS ROMP OVER THE DURHAM STARS Raleigh, May 23—The thirst for the blood of the fallen baseball foes was satisfied in the Shaw Bear's parched threats by a nourishing feast of tender Durham steak, served on the Shaw Alumni Field when the Durham State nine suffered defeat at the hands of the home boys 2-1. The visitors scored in the first inning on an error. Then the game was a pitching duet between Stokes of Durham and Diamond of Shaw. Who would weaken was the question? In the ninth inning the Bears began to rally. Hayes got to first on an error, went to second on a balk, advanced to third on an infield hit by Falkner, and scored on Lyndle's fly to right field. Two men were out and one man on the third when Black singled and Falkner crossed the plate, the game was won. With Shaw tossing only three of the varsity men at the close of this season, she is looking forward to a good season next year. Shaw however, was right in the field for the C. L. A. A. Championship with an average of 500. The team met after the last game and Diamond was elected captain for 1926. Plainsville, Conn. Plainville, Conn—W. M., Bro. Charles Peters, Bro.

The vocational exhibit of the colored public schools held in Booker T. Washington school Friday night proved an unusual attraction of interest and went a long way toward enlightening the public and parents of the diversified education Norfolk school children are getting. So varied were the exhibits of handicraft done by the pupils that they do not lend themselves to a ready description. In both the manual arts and domestic science departments the display was excellent. Useful garments made from cast-off clothing, lamp shades, floor rugs, baskets, furniture of various descriptions were attractively displayed, all made with an ingenuity almost unbelievable possessed by public school pupils. Products of masonry, carpentry, etc., made an imposing array. Particularly attractive was a house approximately 10 by 6 feet built in the woodworking department. This house was finished in practically every detail, except for course, plumbing. It was furnished with chairs, table, etc., built at the school. Over each window hung beautiful draperies, also a product of the classrooms. The work done by the children in the primary grades of the various schools was of a character to convince anyone that the instruction given these children in domestic science is more than perfor- In the auditorium were exercises. Speeches were made by Prof. Ryndward, director of vocational education for the city of Norfolk: Mrs. Rebecca Hodges and Mr. Hicks. The main object of vocational training in connection with academic education was stressed in these speeches. A playlet, "Home Management" was given and the children sang the "Negro National Anthem." 23 Race Victims Of North Carolina Mine Disaste (Continued from Page One) Hollon; Negroes; Isaac Hayes, Albert Holdby, Doubt of in wine; Henry; Alston Cool Glen, N. C, June 3—The bodies of 23 colored victims of the Carolina coal mine disaster have been removed from the pit to date. Five or three more are believed to be in the shaft. Fifty-seven victims are known to have perished in this holocaust. The visitation of death down below the earth where the men were toiling was no responder of persons. White and colored mines were entrapped in the explosion were burned, suffocated and crushed almost beyond recognition. Steadily since the body of the first victim was brought to the surface the (uneral) precession has continued in its sombre tramp. Hurriedly these bodies have been tenderly laid in more kindly soil. Taken from the earth that entrapped them and made them victim of a horrible end, they are being placed in earth that is being wrapped about them by kindly hands. Hanging over the entire surrounding country-side today is a pall, unprecedented in its significance. Widowed mothers and orphaned children have borne stoically the ordeal—the unreceivable sight of their loved males as they are lifted from the mine that claimed them. The strain is far rible. The rescuers are working heroically and unmindful of what may be their fate as they descend into the gas filled pit. There is no color line here today. The great mist of common sorrow has effaced such a thing. Bodies that once belonged to black miners of coal are as tenderly laid on the surface when once out as those of white miners.

The sport and sport journals are giving much space in playing up the table. The fully English writers are jolly well criticizing the New York Athletic Commission and taking sides with Dempsey and among the thing pretty hard, Dantcha know! The editor of "Diving" one of the leading sport journals across the nation is in part: The right and wrong are oftimes hopelessly extended. Take, for instance the battle that is in present waged by the Athletic Commission of New York State against the famous Dempsey-Kearns competition. There is much to be said for both contestants. There good and bad ammunition to be advanced on both sides. In short the competition is many different angles that an observer is extremely aware of while attempting family to gauge them all. The news is out of the long postponed heavyweight title between Champion Jack Dempsey, the "Lathburio of Hollywood" Harry Wills, or the "Black Avenger of New Orleans."

The event is based on the role of the tyrannical king, the king is made up of a case that seemingly admits of the grammatical power that even the "wily" has considerable right on the case. For the event, it would be that some three years ago, when the king was tranding the whip as chairman of the Wills, he was tasked with the challenge also, the forlrit that the king had the logical contenter, and he ordered the case under a threat of excommunication.

Ocey Wilson's presentation of Mainie Smith's Syncopeated Revenue was a great hit with the patrons of the Palace where the show, one of the snappest, peppest, fastest, ringtime sympathetic choruses that has played at the local playhouse since Drake and Walker's company was here sometime ago. The show lived up to expectations and every member in the cast possessed marked ability and there was hilarious action from curtain to curtain. Mainie Smith, as usual was in good form and rendered her blues hits with the same ability that has made her universally famous as one of the lost in the racket. The bevy of brownskin baller舞ers is well trained, and with an array of costumes that set them off to advantage proved the hit of the entire performance. Friday night, June 12, at Second Calvary Baptist Church the citizens of Norfolk are to be given the opportunity of hearing settled once for all time the vexatious question of whether or not prohibition is a failure. From the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico there are people who voriferously contend that prohibition is a failure, and within this same area are an equal number who firmly proclaim it a success. Now, Norfolk has delegated up Kennys by his frank and common-sense discourse, is profaningistic dicties, and fisticidicties, quite like their political heathen, are always leader of their reputations. Has High Hopes "This writer does not claim to possess and 'inside dope' on the situation. He is not one of those lucky scribes sometimes privileged to penetrate the tempel's inner circles and have access to its most mystic secrets. Yet we venture to predict that before the summer has waned, the affair of long standing between the 'Hollywood Lothario' and the 'Black Anger' will have been settled—and that the place of settlement will have been the East with High Priest Texarce Richard as the happy instigator. And this will come to pass, he further believes, despite and not because of the power-arousing light moguls of New York State." This fellow seems to have a great deal of confidence in a coming Will. Dempsey battle. I believe he has more than many of us on this course, especially after reading an article by Dempsey himself, stating that he will not fight at the earliest, until 1926. Probably when 1926 arrives, in money will then say, I will not fight at the earliest, until 1927—that is, if he happens to be holding and abusing the title at that time. One thing certain, he will be deftened sooner or later. If he does not give up the title on his own volition, he will either drop his nominee position or be a死士. 一 on itself the supreme duty of deciding the question for the world at large. This progressive city by the sea, which has recently received a deal of gratis publicity on account of the operations of a group of folks who have tried to settle the question by test—that is smugging in contraband liquor—has summoned four of its valiant sons to the public forum who are there to engage in a verbal battle to settle the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of all, the said meated question. Resolved: "That Probii is a Failure." Two lawyers, W. L. Davis and David H. Edwards will contend for the affirmative—their count, experience with the Mapp and Layman Acts probably affording them some inside information which will be rallied in support of their stand. Two well-known pastors, Ree C. M. Loug and Rev. C. P. Madison, will point to the glorious success of prohibition—probably proving wherein the run feet should ready to be beaten into plowshares. Anyhow, the question is going to be settled, one way or the other, and those who hear the debate and witness the settling will undoubtedly experience a night of royal entertainment. Teachers Regret Loss Of Superintendents Pass Appropriate Resolutions On Resignations Bertford, N. C. The teachers of Peruipani County have expressed their regret over the retirement of Superintendent Charles Whidbee and Assistant Superintendent, Miss Harriet Nixon, in a set of appropriate resolutions. Those two officials have worked untimely in the service of the school district, the medical corps, and their retirement is honored by the school teachers as a distinct loss. It was noted that a copy of the resolutions be sent to each of the former superintendents, and a copy spread upon the records of the local unity and a copy touch to the 1940s and the Nixon era. re-sense discourse, is profaning tistic their political heathen, are always High Hopes to possess and 'inside dope' on the lucky grits sometimes privileged to and have access to its most mystic that before the summer has waned, in the 'Hollywood Lothario' and the trifecte—and that the place of settle-Priest Texareo Rickard as the one to pass, he further believes, dever-ursuring light moguls of New York and deal of confidence in a coming he has more than many of us on this ing article by Dempsey himself the earliest, until 1926.

In six days God made heaven and earth," etc., are words that are familiar to every person in Christendom. The significance of this play is based upon the time following the first six days. It drives back to the very beginning of recorded time, to the formation of the earth as related in Genesis. The story of "After Six Days" as depicted in the play coming to the Attucks next week reveals a Bible history setting that holds the attention of every one, and creates a deeper reverence for the holy writ. 'AFTER SIX DAYS' MAMMOTH PLAY AT THE ATTUCKS BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The best photogrammization of any book comes to the Attucks Theatre the first two days of next week, Monday and Tuesday. It is a gigantic and massive visualization of life itself set forth in the Old Testament. Astounding in its magnificence, it portrays an era that was actually lived in ages gone by. Guido Geilandi, who plays Moses in "After Six Days," in which the life of the great Hebrew, prophet and lawgiver is featured, never expected to be an actor, still less a great one. In his humble village home on the sunny slopes of the Appenines he cherished quite different ambitions. He wanted to bring a message of happiness and hope to all his fellows, so it seems fitting to Guido and to all his family that the priesthood should be his calling. Wherefore little Guido studied and his parents saved to lay up the modest sum needed to educate him for the holy orders. He then, went to Rome and Milan with a friend of the family, and there an event occurred, which changed the trend of life for this artist. Guido is little known to Americans—only to those who have seen him in "After Six Days," his masterpiece. The magic of his dramatic personality is clearly seen in this stupendous production. It suddenly dawned upon Guido Guidhemi that he could reach more people through the silver screen than through the eldergy after having visited a moving picture studio. He was confirmed in his conviction and soon made known his plans to his friend and family. To this point the latter objected, but GELFANDS WALKING The Food Pro Phone Wholesale M 27659 The House Warehouse and Office 24th a The Food Products Co., Inc.

Jones, the pastor, was called away Sunday night, and Rev. Knight filled his pencil. Monday night the pastor was called to Oakwood and large number of his members followed him. He will be at his church at all services next Sunday. FIRST BAPTIST TO OBSERVE 125TH ANNIVERSARY The first Baptist Church will observe its 125th anniversary July 19th through July 20th. Records show that this was the first Baptist Church established in Norfolk in 1800. It is certainly timely to celebrate in a belittling way the 125th Anniversary. For a church to continue, its useful existence for such a long period on the same spot is of no small significance. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN WM. RICH.

Dr. Morris is recognized as a great Bible teacher and a great crowd, white and colored should be present to hear a discussion of a great subject of vital interest by one who is fully able to handle it. MEN AND NATIONS ADVANCE AS THEY HOLD TO THE FAITH Rev. F. W. Williams Declares The Progress Of Human Race Is Measured In Proportion To Its Trust In God From the text, Deut. 33:27 "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms," Rev. F. W. Williams from his pulpit at Queen Street Baptist Church last Sunday graphically depicted what he characterized as the ultimate destiny of men and nations that rely strongly on divine guidance. Said he, "Those who put their trust in God cannot fail, cannot fail, cannot lose, for the eternal is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." The minister explained how Daniel was used, but God remained with him; how the fiery furnaces received the three Hebrew children, but because of God's arms they were saved. He cited many instances in which he and others had gained victory because of an unfaithful trust in God, and emphasized that the Creator is compassionate and willing to protect His people. The congregation appeared to be greatly impressed with the sermon and frequent "amens" greeted his attentures. The $5,000 drive for this church is on and reports will be received on the fourth Sunday. Mrs. Ressie Williams is captain of the men of the church and Rev. Williams is leading the women. Wednesday night from 7 to 11 o'clock the men of the church will serve the citizens of Norfolk to chicken supper. Housewives are advised not to prepare supper in their homes, but have their families to repair to the church and partake of a chicken supper for 15 cents. Menu: Fried chicken ham and cabbage, potato salad, coffee, tea. Cream and soft drinks for sale. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH At the Metropolitan Church last Sunday, the pastor preached at both services. The Sunday school and V. C. E. Society were in priring. Mr. Windfield Jones gave interesting and helpful thoughts on the lesson in the general review. Bishop Blackwell will preach at the morning service next Sunday, also Dr. King, the ex-pastor, will preach during the week. ANTIOHH BAPTIST CHURCH The early prayer meeting was largely attended. At 11:30 the pastor, Rev. J. M. Johnson, preached from 1 Peter 5:4. His subject was, "The Saints' Corporation." It was a great sermon and delivered with much power. At night, Rev. Lee, preached a wonderful sermon. One man was converted in this meeting. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH The Bethel Baptist Church enjoyed highly interesting services Sunday. Rev. H. Carter Odom, the pastor, delivered the morning sermon at 11:30 with great fervor. His text was chosen from Acts 9:6. At 3:30 p. m., the pastor and members of the congregation went to Monumental A. M. E. Church and worshiped. The chair of Bethel Church is reputed to be one of the best in the city. Sunday night Rev. Randall was the speaker. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE RICHMOND HONORS NATIVE SON, NOW MUSICAL LEADER "Joc" Matthews, Who Has Labored Hard To Put City On Musical Map Is Given Testimonial. thews, known and beloved by his home town folks for his tireless efforts to develop the musical talent of this city came into his own last Sunday afternoon when after years of hard work and many achievements he was the recipient of a testimonial at the hands of Richmond citizens. The affair was held at Fifth Street Baptist Church and was sponsored by Mrs. Ella O. Walker, and participated in by some of Richmond's most prominent citizens. Many are the thoughtful things done by Joseph Matthews of which so little has been said. Many are the hard knocks and heartaches suffered by him in his slow hard struggle up the musical ladder, but with a face set always with a semi-smile, or, grin, he often smiled when a frown or a light would have suited best, but he struggled on pulling a heavy load of a cold, dry, uncultured,—musically,—city like Richmond up the ladder behind him, never dreaming that way down the road some one would think about him and a reward for his faithful efforts, but that is just what happened. And like a bolt from the blue sky the Mrs. Ella O. Waller announced her intention to give a benefit concept for little Joe Matthews who has fought so long to make this city musical. In a few days the entire city was in a flame with the desire to help make "Joe" happy for his years of gratitude work. On Sunday afternoon, May 31, at the Fifth Street Baptist Church at one of the most enjoyable programs, said by many to have been the best of its kind that Richmond has ever seen, Joseph Matthews was signally honored by the entire city. Such speakers as Dr. W. T. Johnson, Professor of Theology at the Va. Union University and pastor of the First Baptist Church left the rostrum of the university where some of the school closing exercises were being conducted to come in and say a word to and for "loe" Matthews, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker spoke long and feelingly to Mr. Matthews and his combined glee clubs, she made the presentation of the large purse after a wonderful talk by Dr. Ressie B. Thurps, the L. Q. Order of St. Luke of which Mrs. Walker is grand secretary-treasurer, sent a check for $250.00, while Mrs. Walker gave her personal check for $25.00, many other donations were received along with the collection which brought the purse up to nearly $500. Mr. John Mabry one of the speakers told of the fight that Matthews had made through the years trying to gain recognition, counting step by step the almost entire life of Matthews from the time that he was a little ragged black boy through his fighting days at school because he was considered the raggedest boy at school but would fight everytime he was reminded of it, on to his days as helper on the moving van and window washing and house cleaning days and the like, but little did they know that "Joe" like Nicodemus went by night to the home of Professor Coy, at that time leader among music teachers, and laid the foundation for a musical education. What Mr. Matthews considers the biggest things he has ever done in a musical way, was when last winter he conducted a hundred voiced mixed chorus of picked trained singers, gave a recital in the Negro spirituals at the Ibjou Theatre, white, and turned away so many people that he had to give two performances the same day—the Theatre would not hold them. And the other time was this spring when the Union-Hartshorn drive was on for funds for the schools. Matthews offered the services of this same group of singers free of charge to give a recital for the benefit of the school fund. For four months he drilled and trained the singers in the classics and some of the operas from the old masters and presented them to the Richmond public for the benefit of the school, coming back two weeks later giving it over again free simply to create and keep alive a better appreciation for better music. FIRST U. P. CHURCH The Communion services at the United Presbyterian Church last Sunday were marked by great favor and deep spiritual earnestness. The pastor, Rev. D. F. White was at his best and preached a sermon of unusual power on "Moses Before the Burning Bush." Ex. 222. At the conclusion of which two young ladies, Misses Molley and MacMillian came forward and joined the church. Communion was then administered. The Rev. D. F. White left after the evening service for Knoxville, Tennessee, where he will attend the commencement of Knoxville College, being on the program to address the Alumni Association and to preach the first sermon of the Bible School, which follows the commencement exercises. GARRETT'S TEMPLE Sunday school was well attended at 9:45 a.m. Mr. John Hopkins, who was elected superintendent at the fourth quarterly conference to succeed W. C. Blount, is carrying the Sunday school work on nicely. Gift To 1st Baptist To Be Announced Sunday morning Gift To 1st Baptist To Be Announced Sunday morning Rev. Richard H. Bowling, who spent the day last Sunday preaching in Elizabeth City, N. C., will fill his own pulpit at both services this Sunday. At the morning service he will formally present a check to his congregation sent by a millionaire layman in New York City to assist in the work the church is doing for the community. It is announced also that for the first time this summer the church's unique ventilation service will be put in use. By means of two airways connecting directly with the church's ninety-foot smoke stack in the rear, the main auditorium is kept cool by continual currents of air and without the noise and danger of electric fans. Mr. Charles Holland, the young man recently added to the choir and who created such a sensation by the beauty of his voice last Sunday night, will sing a solo at the morning service. The full chorus choir will also be heard. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Great activity characterized even department of the church. The Sunday school is eagerly waiting Sunday is the day we are going to occupy the new quarters. New scholars are being added every Sunday. The B. Y. P. U. is planning a special summer camp and program that will be very interesting. The pastor, Rev. Johnson, is delivering the Gospel pure and simple. On last Sunday he preached an electrifying sermon from I. Jaso, 2:1. Again, at night he thrilled his congregation as he spoke to them by the way. The Building Drive was a great success and the congregation voted to extend the time two weeks before announcing the final results. The Ladies' Aid Society met with Mrs. Ida Jaco, Washington avenue. Business preliminary to the vacation period was discussed and after a very dainty repast had been served by the hostess, the society adjourned. The Willing Workers are working to put over their scarf contest this Monday night. The Helping Hands, met with Mrs. C. Harris, Barre street, and enjoyed an evening of entertainment and refreshment. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH DORCAS CIRCLE In order to stimulate interest during the summer months, the Dorcas Class, of which Miss W. L. Bagnall is president, has planned an automobile contest. The contest which lasts ten Sundays will be based on points of attendance, punctuality, collection, visitors and new members. The cars will be run 1000 miles over Lincoln Highway, San Francisco to New York. They will be operated in the following manner: Chauffeurs: Miss Naomi Johnson, Dodge, Miss Roxana Smith, Buick, Miss Mary Jones, Cadillac. Mrs. Nannie Branch, Pierce Arrow. Mrs. Laura Bowman, Ford. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The sunrise prayer meeting is filling a great need, in that it permits individual expression of the gift within. At the hour of preaching, Rev. Mr. W. Spurgeon Carey, was presented to a capacity audience and delivered a well prepared message subject: "The Ultimate Triumph of the Church." Many friends and visitors returned to worship in the beauty of holiness at the evening services. Rev. F. W. Jacobs, associate pastor, delivered a timely message, subject: "Nothing But Leaves," text, Mark 11:13. He declared that the big tree under discussion was not cursed merely because it had no fruit, but it assumed the appearance of a tree that did have fruit, thus deceiving the general public. What Christ looks for in the church and individual life is fruit and not a front. The many hearers went away with a deeper appreciation of duty. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended. The P. Y. P. U. went in large numbers up to the St. John's A. M. E. Church and rendered a splendid program for the Christian Endeavor Society. MONUMENTAL A. M. E.

The recent case of four white girls who were held in Raymond-St. jail for nearly two months through the operations of a stool pigeon, and later turned out on probation by judges sitting in Special Sessions Court, Brooklyn, indicate that the Committee's report is correct. The four girls in question were lured from Harlem to a Brooklyn dance hall by a man named Victor Green, under the pretense that they were to pass out cigars and cigarettes, and for which they were to receive $15.00 each. When they arrived at the place they were forced to perform certain vulgar dances. In the midst of this, the detectives who had been already posted, raided the hall. Only the four girls were held. Dr. A. C. Garner, when interviewed, stated that it was the intention of the Committee, to launch a drive in all the churches for the purpose of protecting women from present police and stool-pigeon dangers. C.

(Continued on Page Twelve) DEMOTION OF RACE DETECTIVEAROUSES HIGH INDIGNATION New York, June 14—Not since the trial of Policeman Delancey Serogorsis by Deputy Commissioner John A Leach, some years ago, have the colored people of New York expressed as much indignation as they are expressing now over the action of the same Commissioner in demoting and fining detective Edward H. Green, one the most efficient officers in the Police Department. Green has been on the force nine years. At the time of his trouble he was attached to the plain clothes diversion. The offense for which he was fined twenty days pay amounting to $140 and sent to do patrol duty at the Brownsville station in Brooklyn, many miles from his home, is the direct result of the activities of Charles Dancey, one of the most notorious stool-pigeons in colored Harlem. Used By Detectives Used by Detective Dancey narrowly escaped being killed several months ago at the corner of 140th St. and 7th avenue, when his erstwhile partner Washington, known as "Specks" was seriously stabbed by two men. Washington was confined in Harlem hospital for many weeks. No one expected him to live. Dancey is the go-between for certain detectives. It was while getting whiskey evidence for them in a drug store at 504 Lenox avenue that he caused detective Green to become involved. When Dancey left the place he carried in his pocket a half pint of whiskey to be later turned over to the policemen with whom he works. Green, seeing it, placed him under arrest. Out of this grew the charge against him of interfering with two fellow officers in the performance of their duties, this charge, it is said being made and pressed by Phalon and Boofman two white officers. Officers Testify. Boofman and Phalen, in their testimony before Deputy Commissioner Leach, frankly a ditted that they had employed Dianto to "get" the proprietor of the drug store at 507 Lenox Ave., and that Green, by arresting him, muddled their plans. John William Smith colored alderman and attorney for Green, pointed out that Green acted strictly within both police rules and the law, and that the charge against him was entirely erroneous. Colored Men Discouraged With the advent of John F. Hylan, as Mayor of New York, the policy of the Police Department in its relation to colored applicants was considerably changed. Up to that time there were only three or four colored. At present there is quite a number. Promotion of them, however, is rare, the late Wesley Redding, having been the only colored Detective Sergeant. The apparently unfair dealing of Deputy Commissioner Leach with Green has considerably discouraged all of the colored policemen, and is serving greatly in reducing the number of colored civilians who had previously been inclined to join the force.

Simpson, And His Fine Organization, Forge To Front After Years Of Struggle. New York, May 29—City Chamberlain Berolzheimer, in charge of Public Park Concerts, has again designated the Famous Monarch Band as one of those to play in the City's parks during the months of July and August. During the concerts of 1924 Monarch Band was the first of the race in New York ever to get a public assignment from the City. This year Mr. Simpson and his men will invade Central Park, made musically famous by the recent Goldman band concerts that were discontinued by some misunderstanding between their donors, the Guggenheim, and the City Administration. Mr. Berolzheimer, after the impressive performances given by Monarch Band last year, expresses himself as being completely confident that its present assignments will be creditably acquitted. The remarkable growth and skill of this musical outfit are decidedly interesting. It first came into prominence during the World War, and was known then as the Hell Fighters Band, being connected with the old Fifteenth Infantry. After returning from France, Lieut. Simpson, who was the leader of the Home Guard Fifteenth became the leader of the reorganized Fifteenth, but later resigned his office. With him went most of his men, and organized into the Mi-Tee Monarch Band, to serve as musical complement to Monarch Lodge. No. 45, I. B, P. O, E. of W. At this order's convention in Boston four years ago the band was awarded first prize in a big contest. At Chicago and Pittsburgh it won the same honors in competition with bands from all over the country. When the Elks call their convention in August at Richmond, Va., it is predicted that Lieut. Simpson and his aggregation will again take first prize. Exhibition In Virginia During its brief stay in Richmond the band has arranged to fill several engagements solely as a means of enabling the people of the South to get a close-up view, and to pass upon its performances. One of these engagements will take them to the spot in front of the office of the Richmond Planet. On the return the band will make stops at Washington where concerts are to be given, it is said before the Secretary of Labor and on the campus at Howard University.

PROPERTY VALUES AT ROSEMONT PARK IN LINE FOR DOOM Building Of New Virginia Beach Hotel Expected To Enhance Property Values From Norfolk To Beach. Those who expect to profit by the rise in reality values near and adjacent to Virginia Beach as a result of the construction of the new million dollar resort hotel which is contemplated for this year, include a number of colored property owners on tracts between Norfolk and the beach. It is regarded as a certainty that the increase of population at Virginia Beach will take a decided impetus as soon as work on the new hotel begins, and with this increase, an increasing demand for homes will naturally follow and boost property values. This boom will, of course, be reflected all along the line from the beach to Norfolk, and here is where many colored property holders anticipate profiting considerably. Particularly is this upward trend expected to rapidly populate Rosemont Park, a new subdivision of Norfolk, on the Virginia Beach boulevard and touching also the electric car line between the resort and the city. This is an exclusive colored suburb and in line of development both from Norfolk and the beach. It enjoys the distinct advantage of being so situated as to experience the rise in property values from both the Norfolk and the resort directions. Any increase in either place will be reflected in Rosemont Park. Here the lots are said to be high and dry and level. It has 17 acres of land set aside and reserved for an amusement park, and the trees is within easy reach of 75,000 colored people. Rosemont Park lots are just being placed on sale and choices can be had at present, a representative of the developing company told the Journal and Guide. They are being sold on easy payments, with no interest or tax for two years. Several of the leading people of the State are and to have made purchases of the property. St. Augustine Closes The Year With Striking Commencement; Imposing Graduating Class PAGE EIGHT BY CHARLES N. HUNTER St. Augustine's School stands on historic ground. Here was the homestead of Col. Frank P. Haywood, one of the wealthiest of the old school gentlemen of the South. He had many property holdings and many Negro slaves. His home was one of elegance and refined Southern hospitality. He was of curious participling strain, noble in heart and mind, gentle in spirit, in my younger days. I often visited these places. I enquired my thirst with the sparkling waters from the "Silver Spindle." I cannot repress the impulse of readiness.

Recessional Hymn- "Ou w a r d, Christian Soldier". To the L. Rev.detail the program was splendidly rendered, reflecting credit upon each participant and upon the school. The speaker for the session was the Rt. Rev. Frederick F. Rose, D. D., Bishop of Georgia. The selection was a happy one and happily did the elicitation: please meet high expectation. He was introduced by R. Rev. J. Byng Cimshire, D. D., Bishop of North Carolina. Love of the bishop was the thought and "I have a profound conviction," and in that to a large extent we are people empowered by nudity. Through the Southern States, a capacity for beauty among all classes is greatly needed if we are to become what we call ourselves and are not a civilized and polite people. It is a crime to insult usness, to spread disorder and illicit. No body has the right to build anything丑乱. It is required to be a misdemeanor against the new as it actually is an offense against mankind. "It is a mission to improve that beauty. It is only for the rich. In the poorest cities of a town there can be凄寂 and cleanliness, the first expression of a love of beauty. There can always be beauty, love and clouds. "The way to achieve a love for the beautiful is to listen to good music and look at beautiful things. You people who have such a gift for music should not be satisfied with jazz. I should like to put your spiritisms in the human book, but I doubt if white people could sine them." The Bishop's words were strikingly nuggets and should have effective significance with the group. It is too often in the case that the character of the home indicate our residential sections. This applies to schools and churches and other community property. May we not take the lesson home?" The bishop was speaking generally of our Southern section. We should take it particularly to ourselves. The diplomas were awarded by the following graduates by Bishop Chishire: Junior College Eugene Lenore Ascott, Morganton; Queen Esther P. McCall, Danville, Va.; Eibel Magne Synus, Raleigh; Hillary C.

The fine display of work of the school in the various departments fully attests the thoroughness and value of the instruction given and the high aim of the school. During the scholastic year just closed over 500 students have enrolled and many applicants cannot be accommodated. The school is growing steadily. It is now cared by the State as a junior College which gives its gradant. The distinction of receiving State certificates to teach without further examination. The school has well equipped faculty and strives high standards. PLYMOUTH Peyronel K. C.

The graver for the occasion, Dr. A. N. Phelpe, Editor of The N. C. Journal, was the present, Mr. C. H. Proud, a prominent white citizen, of Grensboro, and one who has taken a deep and helpful interest in the education of the Negro. "It is said that God made the country—the great open spaces—and man made the cities," said Dr. Fischer. "That is it altogether true. God did build the cities. We have a description of one that he built. It was twelve thousand furious beasts, twelve thousand furious wide, and twelve thousand furious high. It was four-square-foot of each city. About 150 cities in length and breadth, and bright. London, and New York, and Paris, would be struggling villages in connection. God destines in the large. It was a beautiful city. It was a rich city. It and twelve miles of pearls. Its people were paid with gold. God loves the beautiful. Why should we not love the beautiful? Were those tiny vines in being gently some of us would be sanctified. God planned for large purposes.

THE PORO AGENT FOR A DISTINCTIVE SE It Pays to Patronize If you don't know her name PORO COLLEGE 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue ST. LOUIS, MO, U.S.A. B: CHARLES N. HUNTER I wish that the space allowed permitted us to write with uncramped fingers the story of Albion Academy. As we walk over its beautiful grounds, and through its many excellent buildings, and look upon and talk with its many students, our minds go back to the years when Father Platt, a saintly white missionary of the Presbyterian Church North, trudged from place—he always walked whatever the distance—organizing schools and churches, preaching and teaching. His was in the years immediately following the close of the Civil War. He was followed by Mabry, and Hopkins and Savage, the last named being the present head of this school. Rev. Moses A. Hopkins was a unique character. He did not learn his alphabet until he was nineteen years of age. He found his way to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he secured work in the family of William Thaw, father of Harry K. Thaw, of whom we have heard so much. Finding young Hopkins to be intelligent, ambitious, precocious and reliable, he took a personal interest in him and aided him to graduation through Lincoln University after which he took a course in a theological seminary. He came to North Carolina and assumed charge of Albion Academy, succeeded in erecting some buildings in which effort he was aided by Mr. Thaw to the extent of $5,000.00. He was appointed Minister, Resident and Consul General to the Republic of Liberia, Africa by President Cleveland. He did and was succeeded by Dr. J. A. Savage under whose administration the school has been growing, enlarging, strengthening. From year to year until now it is one of the finest educational plans in North Carolina. It covers on area of about 75 acres, has developed community life and its influence extends far beyond the bounds of its local life. It now has many beautiful buildings all of them well-appointed and well kept. I do not think that any of our schools anywhere have better physical equipment. In the construction of the different buildings, Dr. Savage has had the foresight to utilize all available space. There is not a niche nor a corner that is not thought into service. The reflectory—that is the name they give it now; we used to call it the dining hall and I confess to a fondness for the old designation—is a perfect gem, having every modern convenience, and the service is unencelled. We were given a delightful opportunity for testing the quality of teaching done in the domestic science department and have no hesitation in voting it unsucceded. The school as a whole is a grand achievement. It is the realization of a dream. It is the fruition of a great, high-born faith. It is the magnificent conquest of indomitable energy and purpose. It is the triumph of unconquerable—intelligent—deal. We could say more—much more—but space will not allow. The annual commencement for 1925 has been a notable event in Franklinton and the sourrounding country. Indeed, many people have gathered here from all parts of the State to enjoy the good things promised by the attractive program.

The entertainment was very much the sorrow the cares of the world; enjoyed by all. Mr. Jones of Zion life is here worth living. Baptist Church was director. (Continued on p. 119.) NOTE—Mr. Hokon Okokon, a native of British West Africa; is a student in the academy at Storer College, read an essay on "African Music"; during the recent observance of Music Week at the college, in which he reveals an enchanting imagery of a native musical festival by the moonlight. Mr. Okokon obtained his elementary education in his home country and came to America to study law. He was advised by President Durke, of Howard University, to spend a year in study at Storer College before matriculating in the Law School of the university. Mr. Okokon also won the Lincoln Memorial Medal at Storer College this spring in an oratorical contest fostered by one of the big watch-making firms. The oration was on Abraham Lincoln. His grasp of Lincoln's career and American history is said to have been marvelously displayed in his oration. Incidentally, Mr. O. Okokun could not have been directed to a school in this country that holds a more sacred tradition on the struggle that was made for the freedom of his Race in America than that which is held by Storer College. The ground that is now its campus felt the trump of the immortal John Brown's feet before he was captured. The John Brown Fort, the building in which he was captured, is on the Storer Campus and is used as a school museum. The school is fully accredited by the State of West Virginia. BY B. E. AN-OKOKON MUSIC AND ENJOYMENT IN IN AFRICA In view of the lack of knowledge of the true condition of things and men as they exist today in the various parts of Africa, it is not easy for an individual to present things in such a manner as to enable us to see the Africans as they are and their musics and lines of enjoyment as they are. It may not be out of place, perhaps, to say right here, that the strong progress that has been sweeping within the past 25 years has not left Africa behind. That as science is queried and is still conquering the difficulties and diffusion, the African has been fittingly and wonderfully adapting to the needs of modern civilization, and as he progresses in material wealth, in intelligence and in activity his music is progressing also. The Africans, as you are all aware, are passionately fond of music and have many ingeniously contrived musical instruments, most of which are of their own inventions. For brevity and convenience, I pait African music into two classes. The first is that which gives entertainment in a purely hour. A very inspiring meeting was held. At night the pastor preached a very excellent sermon from the theme, "Truth the Great Emancipator." African native display, and the second, that which gives him entertainment in either partly or entirely Caucasian display, as they both together go to the preservation of his tradition and satisfaction of his happy nature. The first, much lied by foreigners who have the privilege of visiting an African town during a moonlight night, or days of generaliment, can only be some what understood by supposing youths as going several miles with me to one of the Native African towns to visit a purely native display. While you after-after, listen and you will hear on the wings of the wind, some soft, smooth melodious bleeding of human voices, now rising, now falling, now fading, now skipping gently as the soft sea breeze wafts to the sun heated coast to cool the stream of a hot summer day. Nearer and hearer you come 'kill you can actually distinguish the colors of the leaders from those of the responders, as they enter with their purity and resume their rest in a most perfect openness and harmony. Now you are closer. Now you are on the road. You face a clean coat and resume like the Roman maiden, seated are the wrestlers and neighbors of the town and neighborhood of the town and neighborhood stately dressed, on your left is a set of humanity composed of the spectators, strangers and the general public in their varying appearances and costumes, in your front and behind are the chief shoppers and their responsors, all gaily enamoured and in the center the dancers and the drummers. The mother drum, as it is called, is a wooden hollow substance about thirty inches long, cleverly carved, with one side covered with a special soft, clean brown skin, so worked on the wood that when hit, it produces a sound like that of a bass drum. With this mother drum are two others, smaller, yet made with comparatively smaller fourths, the fourth is a round carmichael pot with a small round "mouth" well designed for its special use, with these three others representing the chimes, the symbol and the kettle drum, each with a sound of its own. These are the musical instruments. Now, the signal is given. The first of the two chief singers begins a song in a familiar key, without a book and without a note. The responders on his side answer to the tune and time. The opposite singer follows, is likewise responded by his men; and so they go alternatively. They are singing of the love of God to the song or of the life and foibles of the woman or of the description of a beautiful woman or woman, or of the hopes and disappointments that life present such unusual happenings as the sight of observation, so typical in the African expert singer sow to them. Suddenly, hand arms on the instruments, the music is complete and the blends work out to an inexpressible melody. Now the fascinating, beautiful dancers in their number step in with their supple forms laden with gold, jewel- diamonds and silks of value. Gentle, graceful, and graceful motion which thrashed.

The anniversary began with the baccalaureate sermon, Sunday, May 24th, 4 p.m. The preacher was the Rev. Prof. J. C. Wagner, M. A., D. D. Professor of New Testament Greek and Homilies in the Bishop Payne Divinity School, Petersburg, Va. His subject was the "The Value of Character, "based upon John 6:66-68 "Faith, Hope and Charity," he declared was the trinity that constituted true character, that all social, material and religious progress d placed upon the cultivation of character; that lack of character was the crusade of social friction and industrial unrest. this charge to the graduates he urged them to build character as it made the soul worthy of God and fitted them to be true leaders that the cad and aim of schooling was to prepare them for useful helpful, unselfish service for God and humanity. Literary Societies Sunday night, 8 o'clock, the religious society of the school, the Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. and National Student Council, held their anniversary, Appropriate joint program was presented Monday night, 8 o'clock, the School's literary societies, the Daniel Webster and Pythia Wheatley, held their joint final.

Vaney won the honors. Virginia Day Thursday was Virginia Day. The exercises marked the graduation of the first Normal Training Course, "Virginia Day," speech was president of the V. N. and L. L. Petersburg, Dr. John M. Gandy, Dr. Gandy's topic was "Practical Objectives of Education." He discussed Ques under three heads: P pendency, Self-Respect and Thirst in elaboration of the system of education to be successful must take into consideration the economic background of the individual. He urged preparation for all jobs calling essential attention to the lack of skilled and semi-skilled labor. He emphasized the point by showing the precarious and uncertain character of the livelihood made by the unskilled laborer. He declared that schools should teach the value of self-respect and dependability, because they put a prespec rate atop the individual, pay a high compliment to the work of St. Paul School and the edittribution it was making towards the attainment of the practical objectives of education. Compliance Day Brought an unprecedented crowd of visitors and friends. The exercises were held in the memorial chapel at 2 p. m. The auditorium was crowded to repletion. Rt. Rev. Robert C. Jefft, D. D. Bishop of Southwestern Virginia delivered the Commencement address. The stress of the address was upon the importance of developing strong virile manhood and womanhood that would produce lives of dignity and character. The Bishop showed that possessing the dichotomy, that认识 all the advantages, that achievements of life, yet if can lacked character, he was knocked. He lauded the kind of education given at the school, because it developed character first as a foundation for the super structure of life. The diplomas and certificates were presented by Bishon Tucker, president, of the Board of Trustees, who gave a short, but very practical and helpful talk to the class. Opening of Trade Building Exercise incident to this took place at 4 noon. After a short service, the speaker for the occasion, Mr. Robert B. Tunstall, LL.B, prominent member of the Norfolk Bar, was introduced for the diplomatic address. He took as a basis of his remarks the rebuilding of Jerusalem by Nechemian, emphasizing the fact that it was done because the people had the spirit and the mind to work. He declared this was the reason for Archbishop Russell's success; he had the spirit and the mind. He noted this as an essential to success in any undertaking. At the close of his very practical and helpful address, Mr. John T. Thornton, Director of Industries in the archbishop Architect, in a neat tucked delivery the keys of the building to Mr. Tunstall, who unlocked the door and invited the assembled audience to inspect the building and exhibit.

TIDEWATER FAIR TO FEATURE ANNUAL JULY 4TH RACES Association Directors Meet With Five Counties Represented; 1924 Was Biggest Year In Its History. / Suffolk, Va.—Meeting of the Directors of the Tidewater Fair, Association was held in Suffolk, on May 28, 12 o'clock, with W. H. Lard, of No Folk, presiding, of the twenty-five members of the Board there were twenty-three present, representing the following counties; Nanssemond, Lac of Wight, Southampton and Norfolk.

You will have to give the white man credit for ability and courage to know what he wants and to go after it, whatever the hazard and cost. Say there is a small bit of glory or a few dollars to be got out of it and off he goes to the ends of the earth chasing it. The effort of Amundsen and Ellworth to reach the North Pole by airplane is an adventure of this kind. Success or failure will link their names forever with the history of Arctic exploration, and that is a part of the gamble. Frenchmen crossing the African Sahara in airplanes and by automobile trucks is like unto the Arctic adventure. It is the spirit that dares that wins. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Try it. --- A newspaper authority says that the notion that horses are being driven out of service by the automobile and truck is all a mistake. Certainly there has been no falling off in the value of blooded horse flesh. The late August Belmont built up a great racing stable at the Nursery Stud in Kentucky. The bunch comprised some 68 horses. J. E. Widener of Philadelphia bought the whole number for $400,000 and sold it at public auction for $782,200, or an average of $10,000, making a profit of some $900,000, net. The prices paid are said to have been unprecedented. "The sport of kings" still holds the front rank. Dr. Plecker Sends Out Some Good Literature Dr. W. A. Plecker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics, whom the JOURNAL AND GUIDE have previously felt it its duty to criticise for sending out from a department of state literature which it construed as being inimical to cordial race relations and unsupported by logic or scientific premises, has more recently sent out a very excellent pamphlet, entitled, "Help for Midwives," and other literature dealing with prenatal and postnatal infant care, as related in a news story in another column of this paper. Included with this literature are some enlightening statistics for the particular information of Virginia physicians on the relative births and deaths of infants as compared in the years 1923 and 1924 and compiled as to races. Dr. W. A. Plecker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics, whom the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has previously felt it its duty to criticise for sending out from a department of state literature which it construed as being inimical to cordial race relations and unsupported by logic or scientific premises, has more recently sent out a very excellent pamphlet, entitled, "Help for Midwives," and other literature dealing with prenatal and postnatal infant care, as related in a news story in another column of this paper. Included with this literature are some enlightening statistics for the particular information of Virginia physicians on the relative births and deaths of infants as compared in the years 1923 and 1924 and compiled as to races. This latest enterprise of Dr. Plecker rightly may be labeled educative, and the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is glad of the opportunity to exploit as far as is within its power to do, the splendid information the registrar is putting into the hands of the public. The pamphlet, although entitled, "Help for Midwives," in reality contains information that will be of great help to every potential mother. Written in a plain and simple style and entirely devoid of technical medical phrases, contained in it are numerous pages of elementary rules and information that will prove of incalculable value to expectant and recent mothers which may add materially to the life and happiness of babies. On the cover page of the pamphlet is the picture of a neatly dressed and comely colored nurse. Realizing that colored mothers, owing to their economic status, more frequently use the services of midwives than of physicians in obstetrical cases, it seems to be the purpose of Dr. Plecker to insist that these nurses be as competent as they can be made to be. In much detail they are cautioned and warned in the pamphlet of things to do and things not to do when they enter the room of a lying-in patient. In fact, his statistics indicate that the percentage of maternal deaths among the colored people in 1924 was double that among the whites, a fact be attributes to the larger use of the midwife among colored mothers. His statistics, however, point to a decline in infant deaths from septicemia among colored people from 76 in 1922, and 60 in 1923 to 55 in 1924, due, Dr. Plecker believes, to insistence from his office that midwives strictly adhere to the rules outlined. Here, we see, it is yet possible to get some mighty good things out of the bureau of vital statistics and the registrar has just treated us to one of them. Editorial Page of The gubernatorial campaign in Virginia this year promises to be livier than any the State has experienced in several years, and that is not saying a great deal for it is virtually impossible to have a real honest-to-goodness live political campaign in a State where the single party system exists. And it is that identical impossibility that curses the State government with numerous imperfections that can only be got rid of thru the dual party system, where the outs make capital of the omissions and commissions of the ins. Nobody in Virginia is concerned about the party faith of the State's next governor. He will be a Democrat, and he will be chosen in the primary, the legal election in November being in fact, a mere ratification of what has already gone before. Differences of opinion on public issues do not lend themselves to as sound a thrashing but in a cloture, primary as they do in an open general election in which two vigorous parties may lock horns over questions to be settled. A Democratic regime may give Virginia a reform administration, correcting many of the abuses from which the State government now suffers, or it may not. In either case there will be no retributive justice awaiting the party. More Democrats will rule at the expiration of the next good or bad administration, and the likelihood of a general house cleaning will remain in the distant for the obvious reason that the cleaning is a job solely in the hands of the culpable, who may or may not elect to do it. In spite of Virginia's deplorable tax system which is fraught with so many inequalities, a situation which alone would force a telling campaign between two parties of nearly equal strength, the Democrats need have no fear if they fail to correct the situation in the next two years, nor any fear if they care to allow this bedeviler to ride on the State's back for the next dozen years. And so are the fruits of the single party system—stagnation. Discontinue the Community Center One of the immediate problems confronting the Council of Colored Social Welfare Agencies, a newly formed organization whose purpose is to coordinate the interests of the agencies having to do with the conduct of charitable and uplift work among the colored population of the city, is the application of the acid-test to the Community Center. And here is a problem that should be approached with absolute candor, and with a determination to serve best the largest number. By no means should this questionable agency again be permitted to jeopardize the success of the Community Chest Fund campaign among the colored section, nor should its life be prolonged another year to dissipate funds so severely needed by more worthy welfare agencies. Frankly, there is only one way to avert this particular jeopardy and that is the complete suspension of the center. Any attempt at reorganization will prove only a palliative. It is a fact that the disharmonizing influence of this institution has become so acute, ramified and insidious that this newspaper cannot conceive of how it would even lend itself to a reorganization which would bring it in accord with the common interests of other welfare agencies and public sentiment, so as to permit its inclusion in the chest fund with a fair assurance of the successful outcome of the campaign in every particular. For several reasons, the most distinct of which are here pointed out, the Community Center is a menace to the chest fund and to the proper expansion of organizations already rendering valuable service to the community and should be discontinued: First. In our peculiar local situation the center is a non-essential organization. At best it can only duplicate or parallel work being done by some other organization which has community backing and a well defined program. The prime object of community service, according to President Lee of the National Community Service, is not to rival, but to stimulate civic activities. Here the Norfolk institution is an utter failure. It does not stimulate and has no field for the stimulation of any civic undertakings that are not already active. If it were to function at all, it would be compelled to rival and thus bring about more overlapping and friction. Second. It cannot function successfully without a considerably larger budget than local conditions justify. This statement is borne out by the fact that it now has a budget of $1,700, practically all of which is consumed in paying rent and a secretary who can only give a few hours in the afternoon and evening to the work. Its budget is relatively larger than that of any other colored organization participating in the chest fund, yet its service is the most negligible. The secretary undertakes to act in a dual capacity of secretary and welfare worker, yet he has demonstrated no fitness or capac- Norfolk Journal and Guide Saturday, June 6, 1925 ity for the latter service: In view of this situation the amount of money the community is called upon to pay to the Community Center for overhead alone is disproportionate when compared with what other organizations are doing in the way of real physical relief and social uplift with less overhead and smaller budgets. Third. The Community Center is a disharmonizing factor. It is not able to attract and hold the cooperation of approval of the ministers or leaders in religious work, and contrary to opinions held by its executives, it cannot hope to render any effective service without this cooperation. MOB RULE CAN BE CONQURED By Anthony STOP! Fourth. The institution stands before the community a luxury—a non-essential organization. The Young Women's Christian Association is housing girls, finding employment for them, keeping them out of demoralizing environments, giving them religious instruction and wholesome physical training. The Travelers' Aid Society is rendering an equally important service to women and girls. The United Charities is relieving, as far as its funds will permit, much actual physical suffering. The LeKies Old Folks Home is taking care of a limited number of destitute aged women. The Maternity Home, which operates in connection with the health clinic, can render a vastly important service if given assistance. The Boys' Club is one of the most needed movements that could be undertaken. The community as a whole will support these organizations, but it will not lend any tangible support to the Community Center and any attempt to have any of the above-named organizations to operate under supervision of the center will simply result in more chaos. The institution cannot now win public support because it has clearly demonstrated that it is a public supercargo without definite accomplishment. Fifth. The Center requires and is using funds sorely needed and that should be diverted to carry on the tangible work of other welfare organizations that stand within public favor, won thru their good intentions and evident results. Sixth. The Community Center should be discontinued because if it is included in the chest fund drive for this year; or in any separate drive for funds for the colored organizations, conditions will develop which will operate to make the campaign a failure. The Community Chest Fund deserves to succeed. It offers the most systematic and business-like method ever devised for supporting needed charities and welfare activities. There should be no temporizing with any influences or factors that may hold the slightest known possibility of jeopardizing that success. Any member organization whose accomplishments and intentions are not well defined in the direction of worthy service, to whose record none can point to as tangible results is purely an imposition on public generosity, and plainly menaces the chest fund movement. This menace should be got rid of and no longer be allowed to dissipate community funds. Public sentiment will sustain any action looking toward an early bonediction for the Community Center. Spirit of the Press Negro Balting in Chicago The Daily Worker. A Negro lecturer goes into a Chicago restaurant with two prominent women social workers. The proprietor refuses to serve him, four policemen are called and throw the Negro out, beat him up and arrest him. The Chicago Tribune gives the story first page space and treats it as a great joke — on the Negro. The victim of racial prejudice happens to be a citizen of France, a college graduate and an editor of a Negro paper published in Paris. He is in this country to investigate the conditions under which the American Negroes live and by accident of birth he is a lenial descendant of the royal family of Dahomey. There is no reason why any restaurant should object to his patronage except that he is black. Incidents such as the above give the lie to the professions of friendship made for the Negroes by the capitalist press. Not only is such treatment of the Negroes made the subject of merriment, but it is directly encouraged in order that the white workers, kept in ignorance of their class interests by the rulers, may have a group, lower in the social scale than themselves, upon which to heap scorn and thereby forget the insults and hardships visited upon them by the rulers of their own color. The recent outrage should be made the center of a protest in all the Negro sections of the city in which all whites who sincerely want racial hatreds wiped out should be asked to join. Mass meetings should be called, delegations sent to the city and State authorities and such a fuss kicked up that the Negro baiters and their agents will understand that there is a penalty attached to such brutal disregard of the right of Negroes to live as equals in the United States.

The Etruscans were the prehistoric people who inhabited Italy previous to the founding of Rome. They belonged according to eminent geologists, to the great Hamitic family of Pelasgians who were spread throughout the Mediterranean countries. These people were of African blood. Q. Did Napoleon possess any African blood? G. F. D., Boston, Mass. A. Napoleon was a native of the island of Corsica and of Italian blood. If one wished to stretch matters and claim that all Latin races, are of mixed blood, then one might say that Napoleon came of mixed blood also. He was most certainly not Nordic. I would hardly say however, that he was of African blood. Q. What great monument, is at Abu Simbel and where is the latter placed? F. L. J., Dayton, Ohio. A.

The author of "Liberia and Her People," was formerly United States Consul at St. Paul de Loanda, West Africa, and naturally knows his subject by first hand information. The text is attractively bound in excellent quality paper and is nicely got up. The famous Heywood Brown wrote the introduction, which lends an added charm to the whole. In the brief historical sketch, Mr. Downing tells how Liberia, in its infancy called Christopolis, owes its birth to the American Colonization Society, founded in December, 1816, for the purpose of making a home for free American Negroes, who found living conditions irksome in America. The first settlers who took advantage of the colonization plan, endured all kinds of hardships, but some managed to survive. In 1846 the emigrants assumed full sovereignty, christened their country, Liberia, and proclaimed her one of the family of nations. The author states that "England, France and other countries gave the newly created Negro state prompt recognition but it was not until 1862, that America, from whose joins the Negro state had sprung condescended to admit her sovereignty." There is an excellent description of all phases of Liberian life. The last two chapters deal with the opportunities Liberia offers to enterprising Negroes and useful hints to prospective emigrants. -HORTENSE THOMPSON The gold that went into the African jungles in great quantities when the natives sold the Allies cattle and foodstuffs during the war has never come out nor beer banked. is not suitable, letters will be personally answered, subject to proper limitations, and when a stamped envelope is enclosed, Address all communication to the Office of the President Associated Press, 8423 Indiana avenue, Chicago, Illinois. located at Abu Simbel in Upper Egypt above the second cataract.

He was born a slave, but won his freedom by his bravery and rose to be the national hero of Arabia. He described himself as "black and swarthy as an elephant." Q. Are there any Moors living in Spain today? B. C. H., Detroit, Mich. A. Yes, a very large number. Also a great part of the Southern Spanish population are descendants of the Moors. Q. Was St. Augustine a Negro? F. R. T. Chicago, Ill. A. St. Augustine was a Negro and one of the early fathers of the Rome church. He carried Christianity into Britain. He was born in Africa as were many others of the early Christian prelates.

How can we expect the respect of our fellow man when we fail to respect ourselves? Self respect ought to be the keynote of every young man and every young woman who goes from this institution. Self respect is one of the greatest needs of the age. It means reverence for law, reverence for our institutions, reverence for age." "Self-assertion" said he. "is another fundamental of strength. Not that kind of self-assertion that stalks around with a chip on the shoulder, but character. Character is not an achievement but an inheritance. All we get in this world we must work for." "Self control," said he. "is the third basic element of strength. The higher up a man goes in character the greater should be his restraint and obedience to law. Character is destiny." These propositions the speaker rounded out in one of the finest addresses we have ever heard on any occasion. He is an ornate orator a logician, a pleasing personality, and his address was a real classic.

Brogden, chairman of the board of trustees, and one of the State's leading lawyers, took occasion to give utterance to some noble sentiments. He referred to the first attempt to organize the graded school system for the city of Durham. The law provided that the taxes paid by white citizens should be used exclusively for the education of white children and that paid by Negroes should go to the Negro schools. "That law," said he, "was annulled by a decision of our Supreme Court. Now we have not only one common school system supported by all, but here we have a State College for Negroes supported and fostered by all. Mr. Brogden spoke in high commendation of the work of the school and paid a high tribute to Dr. Shepard. In his parting words the Principal urged upon the graduates to exemplify in their lives the principles so eloquently set forth by Dr. Montgomery.
