Rogers, journalist, New York, and author of "Tom Superman to Man," a book which gained for him undertable distinction, also a art and dramatic critic of men who sailed for Europe early to gather material for his book, is writing on con- tains as he finds them in the World, particularly as they are to the ever present race edition. Accordingly, as an- nounced in this paper at the time he sailed, his articles are carrying in the Journal and ideal the first one being on page 7 of this issue. Mr. Rogers is an absorbing writer, and a faithful portray- er of conditions as he finds him. Undoubtedly a close working of his writings by others of this paper will be a source of entertain- ment and education. Lightning Strikes Thomas Church in Campos- and the residence of Mrs F.

Lindsey, of the Juvenile and Family Court, of Denver, Col., believes that common persecution by the Ku Klux Klan of Catholics, Jews and Negroes will have the effect of bringing these groups nearer and nearer together in real kinship. Judge Lindsey is quoted as having said while speaking at a meeting during the annual session of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People in Denver last week; "One of the many lessons we are to learn from the Ku Klux Klan is that the white man is becoming a common sufferer with the colored man because of intolerance and injustice to the Negro if the Negro can be, as he has been, denied his constitutional rights, may not the same thing be done to the white man? Thus this phenomenon of the Klan, even though it be a phase and a passing phase, is nevertheless one of the penalties upon the sins of all of us in an all too headless disregard of the rights of men whose color differs from ours. "Colored men, equally children of the same Father, are coming nearer and nearer to real kinship with their white brethren. Their gatience, their forebearance, their forgiveness and their Christian attitude towards oppression and stracism, are bringing about a surer relief in the end from their bondage than could possibly come from any action that involved with either force, violence or hate. These outlawed weapons of the past are being revived again in the modern inquisitions of the Ku Klux Klan." Judge Linsey expressed the conviction that the Klan could not endure, and quoted Abraham Lincoln's opposition to a similar movement, the Know-Nothing party. THIRD LIGHTNING SHOCK KILLS MAN WHO SURVIVED TWO Talked About His Good Fortune. But Didn't "Knock On Wood." And Third Visitation Proves Fatal. (Special to Journal and Guide) Winston-Salem, N. C.—When you once or twice narrowly escape life misfortune, or luckily pass thru life without encountering some of the evil fates that have overwhelmed your neighbors, never refer to your good fortune without knocking on wood, is a superstition as old as the memory of man, John Brandon 69, of 64 Pleasant St., Waughton, did not do so as he said: "I have been struck by lightning twice," as he stood by the bed of a sick friend rendering uccor, but in the twinkling of an eye John Brandon received his third shock and in another second his lifeless body fell across the top of the wife of the sick friend. This was the third time John Brandon had been struck by lightning. Mr. Brandon was at the home of Lee Kiger, fifteen miles west of the city, near Clemmons on the fadkinsville road. Mr. Kiger was, and confined to his bed and Mr. Brandon was nursing him. Sitting in a chair near the bed was Mrs. Kiger while Brandon was tanding by the brass bed on which Mr. Kiger is helpless. Outside the lightning was flashing and the deep, dull roar of hunder coupled with an occasional lap that seemed to shake the earth, brought back to Mr. Brandon's mind that twice-in his life he had been struck by lightning. The rain fell in torrents and for a second blackness smothered skies. John said, "I have been struck twice by lightning," when there was a terrific flash and the form of John Brandon swayed for a second he grasped the side of the brass to steady himself and then he huddered as the electric shock passed through his body.

SECOND CONTRIBUTION IN LESS THAN MONTH Further evidence of the consistency of millionaire-philanthropist, B. N. Duke's interest in the elevation of the Negro race came to light last week when it was made public that he had just made a donation of $15,000 for the North Carolina Orthopedic Hospital at Gastonia, to establish a ward for crippled Negro children there. The announcement was made by Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, Commissioner of Public Welfare of North Carolina, who is credited with having suggested to Mr. Duke the dire necessity for such a ward, and Mr. Duke, is said to have handed Mrs. Johnson his check for $15,000. Mrs. Johnson, on her return from New York, recently handed Mr. Duke's check to Dr. R. B. Babbington, chairman of the board of trustees of the Orthopedic hospital. Mrs. Johnson is quoted as saying Mr. Duke's gift will enable the institution to build and equip a ward of ten beds and maintain it until the next session of the General Assembly when it will be necessary to ask only for continued maintenance. It was just recently that Mr. Duke gave Kittrell College his check for $200,000. Major Cox Denies Use Of Offensive Terms Major E. S. Cox, who was accredited in this paper last week in a Richmond news dispatch with having used offensive remarks in addressing a colored audience in that city a few Sundays ago, under auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has written a letter to the Journal and Guide denying having addressed his audience as "niggers." Major Cox alludes to the "impudence of the reporter," who sent the dispatch in accusing him of insolence in speaking to a group of colored people whom he "respects and whose guest he was for the occasion." "My position on the race problem may be learned by any one who will take the trouble to read my published works," his letter continues, and adds, "throughout my writings or speeches I have never addressed Negroes as 'niggers,' yet your correspondent accuses me as having addressed my hosts as 'niggers.'" ASKS $15,000.00 FOR LOSS OF LOVE OF HER HUSBAND Suit Thought To Be First Action Of Its Kind Instituted In Wayne County, North Carolina. (Special to Journal and Guide) Goldsbore, N. C., July 10—What is thought to be the first action of its kind instituted in Wayne county by a member of our group was commenced on July 1, when Mrs. Sadie Reid, wife of Sampson Reid, taxi driver, filed suit against Mrs. Lila B. Fort, proprietress of a local beauty parlor, and widow of the late Dr. J. E. Fort, local physician for $15,000 for alienation of her husband's affections. The complaint alleges that after a number of years of happy married life, the defendant, during the present year, "became intimately associated" with" the 'plaintiff' husband, "frequently inviting, urging and enticing him to her house."

STATE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS CLOSE FINE MEETING Roanoke Chosen As Place Of Next Annual Gathering Various Topics On Human Welfare Engage Attention Farmville, Va.-The Virginia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs got into full swing here June 30, in its eighteenth annual session with its leaders and members reporting upon the past year's work and laying plans for another year of intensive activity in "Lifting as we climb." Approximately 75 delegates and a large number of visitors attended the four day sessions which ended July 4. The entire sessions were characterized as among the most constructive and interesting held in the past eighteen years. One of the salient features of the convention was the excellent quality of the reports and addresses, one of which, that of the President, Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, was voted to be put into the minutes of the Federation verbatim. Two papers were so well received by the delegates that they were voted to be published in pamphlet form and distributed by the Federation to the various clubs of the State. These papers were "Moral and Religious Training of a Child" by Miss Bettie Branch, of Farville, and "Duty of Community to Child" by Miss W. I. Bagnall, of Norfolk. Welcome Addresses Five persons welcomed the State Federation to Farmville on behalf of various groups and on behalf of the city. At the first session of the Federation, held at eight o'clock Tuesday evening at First Baptist Church, the Mayor of Farmville, Mr. Sanford, extended a welcome by proxy. Mr. Nathaniel Griggs greeted the delegates on behalf of the citizens; Miss Marion Hankins on behalf of the church; Miss Viola Lancaster on behalf of the Federated Clubs; the fraternal greetings were extended by Mrs Pearl Madden, and Miss Maria Burke responded to the five welcomes extended the body of women who carry on such a constructive work. The church choir furnished music on this occasion and Rev. J. C. Carroll, pastor, conducted the devotionals.

OF HOME ECONOMICS HAMPTON TUSKEGEE ENDOWMENT FUND NEARING ITS GOAL 90 Per Cent Of Amount Needed To Obtain Eastman Gift Subscribed; Only $500,000 Required to Close Campaign The Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund seems just about assured of the $2,000,000 gift from George Eastman, the kodak king, which was conditioned upon the raising of $5,000,000. Of this latter amount 90 per cent has been raised, the public is informed by the committee in charge of the fund, leaving $500,000 to be raised. The balance must be raised by midnight/December-81, 1925 in order to meet the terms of Mr. Eastman's gift. Mr. Clarence H. Kelsey, chairman of the committee expresses confidence in the successful outcome of the campaign. The largest gifts thus far recorded have been $1,000,000 each from John D. Rockefeller and the General Education Board. Prominent Educator Here Prof. J. S.

Gainey, Assistant To Postmasters General, Principal Speaker; Norfolk Delegation Participate. By ROBT. CRUMP Richmond, Va.—The annual session of the State Branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers was held in Armstrong auditorium Sunday afternoon. One of the principal speakers was E. J. Gainey, of Chicago and Washington, special clerk to the second and first assistant postmasters general, under Postmaster General New. Mr. Gainey holds down the most important position held by a member of his race in that particular branch of the government service. In his speech he related numerous instances of humane and otherwise favorable treatment and even protection accorded postal workers of the race, through the interposition of his office. He also told of the rise of several Negroes to prominent positions in the Post Office Department. Rousing Response A rousing response to the welcome extended the association by Geo. H. Ben Johnson was made by Eugene West, Norfolk, president of the State Branch of the N. A. L. C. Other speakers to follow were M. E. Diggs, of Norfolk, the State Vice President and Postmaster Joseph Stewart, of Richmond. The feature addresses of the afternoon, however, were the responsive speeches of W. I. Hopkins, a carrier who gave an abstract of what the carriers expect of the department and C. P. Eldridge, superintendent of the East End Station, who outlined what the department expects of the carriers. Rev. R. Beecher Taylor Taylor was master of ceremonies. He told of the many trials of the mail carrier, showing plainly that the life of the mail man is not always a bed of roses. Local Branch No. 496 National Association of Letter Carriers is about twenty years old and has been connected with the National Association for some time, but the State branch is now in its first year. The officers are Eugene West, president; M. E. Diggs, vice president; Rev. R. B. Taylor, secretary. Rev. Beecher is president of the local branch and Geo. Ben Johnson, secretary. Mr. Baker a Visitor Here Mr. Edward A. Baker, cashier of the Prudential Bank, Washington, D. C., was in the city last Friday. He spent the week-end at Bayshore, returning to Washington Monday. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR WhiteWomenToSpread LiteratureInEuropeOn NegroProgressInStates Engineer, Seeing Signal Of Youthful Heroine Brings Locomotive To Stop Just In Time To Avert Wreck. TREE HAD FALLEN ACROSS THE TRACKS Hagerstown. Md. Forty or more persons owe their lives to the forethought and courage of a small 9-year-old colored girl, who on July 1, waved a bandana handkerchief before an approaching passenger train in the mountains near here, causing the engineer to bring the train to a stop just in time to avert a wreck. According to reports the little girl's heroic efforts saved the train from running into a large limb of a tree that had fallen across the B. & O. tracks in the mountain pass. The train was rounding a curve that hid the obstruction from view, and had the thoughtful little girl not signalled the engineer it is said that it was highly probable that the cars would have been derailed and thrown fifty feet down the mountain side. The name of the little heroine was not learned. PRESSED DOWN IN GIRL'S HAND; GETS 2-YEAR SENTENCE Jury Finally Discovers Way To Punish Man For Writing Love Note to Opposite Sex Outside His Own Race. A colored man in Asheville, N.C., Augustine Lasane, 30 years old and married was arraigned in Superior Court recently on a charge of having written a letter to a white girl, clerk in a local store. There is no law to punish a man for overstepping the proprieties and addressing a love note to a woman outside of his own race group. Some way had to be found to severely punish this Negro for his alleged indiscretion. The jury was perplexed. But his honor and the learned attorney for the State found a way out of the delimma. The defendant had "pressed down firmly," when he placed the note in the young woman's hand, she testified. "Pressing down firmly," was technical assault, the Court and prosecutor agreed and instructed the jury that it might so find. The jury did. And Judge J. D. Murphy in sentencing the man to serve a term of two years on the county roads declared that any Negro man who would write a love note to a white woman should receive the full penalty of the law. The young woman had testified that on Saturday night recently Lasane came into the store and made a small purchase and laid ten cents and a note in her hand, pressing down firmly as he did. The note declared his love and asked her to write him, giving the name of James Wilson. The hand-writing on the note was compared with that on checks signed by Lasane and the jury held the writing was the same. The young woman also made positive identification. Lasane put up a vigorous denial. Chicago School Principal And Social Worker Will Distribute Pamphlets Of Race's Progress At Convention. MOVE SPONSORED BY 50 PROMINENT WHITES When Miss Florence Holbrook, white, and a principal in a Chicago school, goes to Europe this summer as a delegate to the convention of the World Federation of Education Associations, she will include in her mission a definite plan for counteracting much of the propaganda against American Negroes spread over that country by prejudiced tourists from the states. In this endeavor Miss Holbrook will be backed by 50 white women, prominent in Chicago's social service. Prominent In Chicago Miss Holbrook, who is prominent in Chicago not only for her educational contributions but for her work in the peace movement, has made public advance copies of a pamphlet which she is planning to distribute at the convention. This pamphlet shows the progress of the Negroes in the United States as made both through their own initiative and with the aid of their white friends. It is published by the "Every Day Club" of Chicago, consisting of the 50 social workers. The purpose of the club in publishing this pamphlet, Miss Holbrook explained, is to inform Europeans about progress of the Negro in America. She is principal of a junior high school in which the majority of children are Negroes, and feels that she has more than these retinal solution of the race problem. INDIAN WARFARE STARTS OVER RACE CLASSIFICATION Resent Being Listed As Negroid, And Unshield Pen Instead Of Bow And Tomahawk. The Red Men and the Pale Faces of Virginia have engaged in another war. This time it is bloodless and waged without cannon, bow and arrow, tomahawk or any of the implements which would have been called forth in a like strife a century ago. The pen is the predominating weapon, yet the warfare promises to be bitterly fought, for Indian Truth, the mouthpiece of the Red Men, is determined that the white man must be routed from this latest stand against the tribesmen, a stand which classifies them as Negroes or Negroid. The bone of contention is Virginia's attempt to strictly enforce the racial integrity law. Dr. W. A. Plecker, Registrar of Vital Statistics for the State, and sponsor of the law, has listed the 3000 Indians of the Pamnukey and the Mattaits tribes of Virginia as Negroid. He has signed his name to this conviction in a letter to M. K. Sniffen, editor of Indian Truth, who had attacked the extent to which the new law was being enforced. The Bureau of Vital Statistics contends that it will not be possible for a member of the eastern Virginia tribe of Indians to marry a white person under present statues, because it will never be possible for him to prove there is no Negro admixture in his blood. Indians Aroused The Indians are aroused over this ruling and the editorials in Indian Truth make it known that the tribesmen are prepared to fight it. They are quite well educated, it is claimed, and there is no possibility of the tomahawk being disinterested, but the pen—always lauded as mightier than the sword—has been militantly drawn. "The editor visited Virginia last month," said Mr. Sniff, "a n d found that there are seven groups of Indian descendants; they are proud of their ancestry and wish to be so classified under the new law." Dr. Plecker asserts, proof of their Negroid background is to be discovered in historical and eth- nological records; in the, birth death and marriage records of Dr. Plecker's bureau, and in stat- ments of white people who live among them. _____ pier et ins Me oes ce Sey wats een wn aitn asc pgSATORDIy Section eyes soc osamngeme emery o ae H pecciereman mane mith ates einiibeeieamniaceece e .

BERNARD YOUNG, JR. A small boy, with glistening eyes and mischief radiating from his every move, passed. Another followed, holding in his hands several matches. Reenforcement in some work of not exactly legal mature, we surmised, and looked to see if others were following to engage in the befriquious activities. At this juncture a sudden outburst of whistling assailed our ears. A "cop" had have into sight and the two boys had straightened up, begun whistling, and were just about assured of non-interference when the guardian of the law, rather eventing something astir, paused and thought to say something to the guilty-looking pair. He got as far as "Well—"; but four flying needs greeted his gesture at conversation. He laughed and passed on. From his hiding place behind a gate the third member of the youthful trio emerged, steadily life profited by the other's mistakes, apparently. In his hands he carried five articles which explained everything. There was an opened can, and four red cylindrical objects about seven or eight inches long and approximately three quarers of an inch in diameter. They were fire-crackers and it was the fourth-last Saturday. Shooting of fireworks was prohibited by law, but the temptation to celebrate was no strong an urge in the breasts of these three patriots. By this time the other two, who had run away, had rejoined their companion. In a few seconds the sir was rest by four terrific explosions—the work of the four red, cylindrical fire-crackers. The incident was not typical, however. It was reminiscent of former days, days when the booming of fireworks went on undisurbed and the joy of hundreds of youngsters lay in the applying of a match to the wick of a fire-tracker, running to a safe distance, and waiting in unstrained glee for the sharp report. But alas! so many, the law decreed, did not maintain that "safe distance" and no many suffered loss of eyes, fingers, and even death as a result of their lack of proper caution. So on the Fourth, what individual fireworks were set off were long so when the wary eye of the law was not within sight. Abundant celebration took place, evertheless, and many forgot that once the biggest thing on the Fourth was fireworks. Races, cutings, games, piemics, shows, pictures, and a host of other events called many thousands. A parade and demonstration took place, both for Defense Day and independence Day combined. Defense Day evidently was to gain an idea of the size of America's potential military forces. Independence Day, or the Fourth, as it is generally called, is a national holiday in the United States hold on the 4th of July, this being the day in 1776 in which the Declaration of Independence was adopted by Congress. It formerly was kept with noisy demonstrations, as we said, and with patriotic orations and such things, but now, in Norfolk at least, only the patriotic orations and "such things," including parades and mobilizations, are left to celebrate with. Unless one imitates the trio which escaped the eagle eye of the law and set off their four "thunderbolts." Shooting "thunderbolts" now is alas—not typical. Only reminiscent. Alligator Shows Up In Carolina North Carolina, a State that has for years lead in furnishing the oddities of the news as well as in various other things, is again to the front with a choice bit of information. This time it is the discovering of an alligator at Hobgood in halifax county. This American crocodile's perceptions have always been limited to the warmer climates by the texicons and encyclopedias, nevertheless, Halifax county, N. C., hays claim to a great big ferocious one that just proved he was ferocious and the genuine thing, by chasing a colored woman, the wife of Peter Cain, causing her to fall and sustain almost fatal injuries. Hearing her screams, Peter, who is a tenant on the farm of L. F. Whitehead, dashed to her assistance and found that she was being chased by the alligator. He immediately called to one of his children to bring his gun and shot the saurian while his wife continued her mad dash for safety. The animal is said to have measured seven feet in length and weighed 51 pounds. Neighbors believe that it came out of Deep Creek, which enters into Tar river. Mrs. Cain said she first noticed the reptile while she was chopping cotton. It was within 10 feet of her and coming with its mouth wide open. He kissed her in the dark, And dead silence filled the park! EX-ARMY CAPTAIN ACCORDED DISTINCT HONOR IN NEW YORK Dr. Matthew V. Boutte. Former Officer On General Pershing's Staff, Reviews Regiment. New York, July 8.-One of the most distinct honors that has ever been given to a Negro citizen in this country, took place here last Thursday evening when the 369th infantry, the famous Negro regiment under command of Col. William A. Taylor, held a special review and parade at its armory in honor of Dr. Matthew V. Boutte a former Captain on General Pershing's staff, and Commander of the Col. Charles Young Post of the American Legion. It was the first time in the history of this country that a Negro has been invited to review a regiment, and the honor is regarded in militar, circles as a high one. It was one of the most significant occasions, both from a military and civic standpoint that has ever been held in this city, and was the first step on the part of Col. Taylor to bring the regiment closer to the community, and make it a more a civic factor. The honor attended Dr. Bottlew was in recognition of his army record, and of his prominence and activities in civic affairs of Harlem. The affair was attended by a large gathering of distinguished citizens of both races, many of them standing high in military, business and professional circles, of this city and the country. The armory was beautifully decorated for the occasion and strict military courtesy prevailed throughout the evening. Col. Taylor, the new commanding officer of the regiment, took a great deal of interest in the occasion, and said that he hoped it would mean an inspiration to the men, and give them an incentive to make the regiment one of the leading outfits in the service, and to uphold its tradition of being a fighting unit. The regiment made a fine appearance, and he showed considerable improvement during the past few months, being almost up to its full regimental strength. The review began with battalion formation, followed by regimental formation, then came the standing review, after which it passed in review. The regiment went through them, from formation with precision, and company after company was unplouched as it passed in review. The review was followed by a battalion relay race, and the presentation of the Col. William A. Tayler cup to the winning battalion. Next came an exhibition drill of the Non-Commissioned Officer School under Major Kerney O'Cormoran which was one of the thrilling features of the review and program. Manhattan For-Hire Car Corp.

In preparation for the big moment, Menjou plants an oper magazine where his coquettish vis: itor will surely see it. Miss Rich arrives, nervous at her own tem- erity in this escapade and uneasi- ly conscious of Menjou’s reruta- tion as a triffier. She is startled to see in the open magazine a pic- ture of a girl, bearing the sensa- tional caption: “Sho recovered from her stupor in a strange, in- cense laden room, realizing that the wine she drank fst been dropged ‘iss Rich looks up fearfully from the page to see Menjou pour- ing wine, while nearby an incense burner sends out an irfsidious wisp of smoke.

By J. A. ROGERS this article as a beginning try to present Europe to oiks as precisely as it shall things as are for that you with me desire to in the least a Passport Regulations I later discovered that because of passport regulations it would have been altogether out of the question for me, except as a paying passenger. I thought the experience worth while. It was precisely because of this experience that I decided on an American ship. I knew that on a French, German, Dutch, or even an English liner, I would be thrown in with anyone traveling as I did third class. I knew however, that Mr. James Crow would see to it that I enjoy some degree of exclusion on an American ship that I had been told I would write "colored" above my mans. Later when I saw some of my fellow passengers and realized that but for that gentleman I might have had them for sleeping companions I was very grateful to him for once. Some of those members of the superior race were wearing back the same clothes they had left in many years ago, and fro mthe fragrance they diffused I should say also the same soil they had taken away on their skins to wear so, particularly those from Germany, were cleanly. Many were naturalized though I noticed that few were actually touched by the Americanization process, except in one respect which it is needless for me to mention here. No Attention To Color in Europe Though so far as I have been able to see no attention is paid whatsoever to one's color in Europe, these Europeans returning home were many of them very color conscious. They made allusions to my color and trotted on the old stuff about Negroes and watermelons, chickens and craps shooting, and they were trying to be marked by their mark, but I pretty soon squelched them by telling them to shut up as I was leaving just to get a holiday from these and similar things. Another thing I found out also was that if I didn't want to be called "nigger" I should cease playing with the children. Three with whom I tried to be friendly called me that. One of these was a very shy little boy who sat opposite me at table. One morning he didn't show up at breakfast and seeing him later in the smoker with his father I said, putting him on the head: "I didn't see you at breakfast little man." He had never spoken in my presence before and I really wasn't expecting a reply. You unshrill image, tense surprise, therefore, when he piped up in shrill voice so loud that in the crowded smoker could hear: "I know what you are. You're a nigger, aren't you?" When I didn't answer he kept on repeating the question until his five year old sister struck at him. He was only four and of Lithuanian an parentage but he had learnt his lesson early. Being practically the only native- speaking person in that native- traveled second or first class—my presence was the cause of much surmise. From one woman I learned that I was suspected of being a secret service agent, particularly as I had a room all to myself. Apart from the above incidents I had a very fine trip. The service on the George Washington is excellent, but many complained that they couldn't get a drink. No liquor is sold on American ships. With a cabin all to myself it was almost like traveling first class on certain lines. The George Washington is one of the largest ships afloat and at night I felt as if I was in bed in New York City. Of course, the sea was calm most of the time. Moral: When traveling select a big boat it is less likely to rock. But at that quite a few were sea sick and didn't show up at meals, cleaning and soft and the rooms kept very clean. And speaking of this, I am reminded to say that the job of Pullman porter is a snap compared with that of a bedroom steward on one of these liners. He has a large number of beds to make besides attending to sick passengers. One idiot being deported who was in the compartment near me had the mentality of a nine months old child and had to be helped to do everything as one of that age would. Waiters also had their hands full serving six meals a day, that is the three regulars with three lunches between. Eating, of course, was the chief diversion of the passengers. The food served was enough for harvest hands, and some of them went after it just as if they had come in from the fields. I never knew before that some human stomach could hide away so much food. The father of the boy that had called me "nigger" usually started in with four huge pork BY J. A. ROGERS this article as a beginning try to present Europe to looks at perseverally as it.

WAKE COUNTY TO HAVE A SOCIAL WELFARE WORKER Experienced Woman Secured For Place; Salary Largely Paid by Race Donation; To Work Under Mrs. Bickett. Raleigh, N. C., July 10—Beginning September first, Wake county will have a colored Welfare Wor- er, who will be paid large by subscriptions from members of her race of the county. Miss Majorie Edwards, who has been with the city mission in Philadelphia has been required to fill the place. She will work under the supervision of Mrs. T. W. Bickett, Superintendent of Wake County Welfare work. In addition to her duties as welfare worker in the county, she will reside at the new training school for race workers at St. Augustine and supervise the case work and investigation of the students there. Her salary will be paid by the donations of members of our group, the State Department of Public Welfare and the welfare department of St. Augustine school. Mrs. Bickett says the worker comes highly recommended by those with whom she has worked during the past two years, and she will attend a school and work at Philadelphia during the summer months to further fit herself for the new position here. Mrs. Bickett gives most of the credit for bringing the necessary money to Lawrence A.

Attention To Eyesight Is Showing Results Visual imperfections of school children in Cleveland, Ohio, have been notably reduced. In 1910 one child in every 3,708 had to learn to read with his fingers; in 1924, one in 4,367. This improvement is due principally to legislation requiring prompt attention to inflammation of the eyes of newborn infants, to providing classes for partially and entirely blind children, the increase of sight-saving classes for those unable to see well enough to keep up with the regular school work, and by cooperation with parents and physicians for local treatment and fitting of glasses when needed. In temperate latitudes, one-sixth of the total number of flowering plants are annuals. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925 By CHARLES N. HUNTER BY CHARLES N. HUNTER Method, N. C., is a small village about three miles west of Raleigh on the lines of the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern railways. A beautiful concrete roadway leads from Raleigh and on to Durham, Greensboro and Charlotte, from its northern boundary. The country between Raleigh and Method has been undergoing rapid development since 1920. Instead of farm lands the intervening distance has been cut up into building huts, street-fillings and home creations, quite a number of creditable business houses constructed and the whole has grown into a popular suburban residential section. In addition to these improvements Meredith College—the highest Baptist school for women of the State—has been located just north of Method and is building a million dollar plant there. This, of course, will stimulate immensely the high tide of population to the westward of Raleigh. Already land values in the section adjacency to the college buildings are building and building this. This means a college community and eventually a college town. Method is on the south of the railways and national highway and will retain its Negro population and ownership. The village had its inception in the early years succeeding the Civil War. The land was owned mostly by Gen W. R. Cox. He conceived the idea of dividing it into small farms and selling it to colored people on easy terrain took up and built homes. The village first took up the name by reason of the fact that most of its early settlers in building homes the purpose of escaping the exorbitant rents then prevalent in the cities. Afterwards it became known as "Slab Town" because most of the houses were built of slabs. With the progress of improvements the pride of the inhabitants assumed more pretentious airs and they gave to this community the name of "Mason Village." Louis M. Mason, an intelligent, enterprising spirit, being a leader of the people, the village took its name from him. Forty-eight years ago this writer had charge of the public school here. Chas. Woods, a Woodsville native, was leading the needs of the villagers by means of a small grocery store which was run under the firm name of Woods and O'Kelly. Mr. Woods was then chairman of the district school committee. Some years later he withdrew from the business, left the State, and settled in Oklahoma where he is still residing and prospering. Rise of Berry O'Kelly Berry O'Kelly was born of slave parents in, or near Chapel Hill He, with name, came to Wake and settled at Mason Village. Up on the departure of Mr. Woods he succeeded to the proprietorship of the business of Woods and O'Kelly. He prespered. The settlement grew in numbers. The surrounding forests gave place to fruitful fields, and engaged in the cultivation of a hld homes. Some of the residences are now large and beautiful. A post office was established. A depot and freight office were added. Berry O'Kelly was appointed postmaster and freight agent. While these improvements were in process the name of the village also underwent a change and has since been known as "Method." The place once derisively dubbed, "Save Rent," and "Slab Town," has become a most important base supplies for an event held at Negro farmers and Berry O'Kelly's business has mounted up to astounding proportions. With a genius for merchantile pursuits and tireless industry he gave himself to work, work, work.

H. H. BERRY O'KELLY, wealthy North Carolinian, and virtually owner of the town of Method, whose devotion to the cause of Negro education, is concretely reflected in the Berry O'Kelly Training School, for the development of which he has given libertally of his means, time and interest. organized and built up a magnificent business and amassed a fortune. His fine ratings in the commercial budget give him unlimited credit in the wholesale markets of the country. This, in turn, enabled him to serve his large and valuable clientele with the best goods at bottom prices. His business operations were not confined to Method and the surrounding territory. They extended to Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Pittsboro and other places. Dealer In Real Estate In addition to his merchantile interests Mr. O'Kelly is a large dealer in real estate. In this line he has been no less successful. He is the owner of a number of large farms; owns most of Method; has large and valuable property holdings in Raleigh, much of it in the recently purchased a principal corner brick store and is having it remodeled, putting in a handsome glass front. Holder of Numerous Positions of Trust As before stated Mr. O'Kelly is postmaster, railroad agent, chairman of the School Committee, and a sort of general factotum of the Method community. He is also a director of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Raleigh. Energetic and tactful he has farmer attachments which have netted him a big margin of controlling influence in many matters of great importance to his race. Activities In Behalf of Education In later years he has devoted his chief interest to the work of educational uplift. Indeed, this seems to claim the most of his time. Just here I cannot avoid an adjuction personal to myself. With those conversant with the facts it carry no suggestion of disism. It is a necessary connection and should be given in preserving history. In 1909 I made a visit to Mr. O'Kelly on a matter of business. While there Mr. Louis M. Mason informed me that the Method school was in want of a principal and had advertised in the papers for applications. I said to him that I was open to a proposition and would be glad to submit my application. "Well," said he, "here is your man in there," pointing to Mr. O'Kelly's store, "just see him and get him all right, and I sure sure you can do that." I said to Mr. Mason that Method offered a most excellent field for the organization and growth of a fine school. That I knew of sources of help that might be touched and enlisted provided the people themselves showed the proper spirit. "Well," said he, "Berry is a very busy man and has not the time to look into ways and means, but if you will load him up he will fire all right." I told him that I would keep him loaded to the muzzle. I went into the store and after attending to the special business that called me there, brought up the matter of the school. Mr. O'Kelly spoke encouragingly of my pros securing the position he advised me to apply application with the written. He said he was only one member and could not determine the matter himself. I received the appointment. I began to lay plans which I submitted to Mr. O'Kelly and the other mem- Grand Jury Report Reveals Unspeakable Conditions In North Carolina Prison Camps Help our Merchants to help YOU EVERYBODY will agree that a man succeeds and prospers only when he spends LESS money than he receives in a given period of time. Let's apply this great economic test to the situation in this town: Our business men have invested—and continue to invest—their money in stocks of goods brought here to your very door to meet your daily needs. Through the pages of this paper they advise you of their ability to serve this community. All of us know that they deserve our patronage. And remember, the more you trade with them the more funds they can invest in larger stocks and new lines. Read the Ads in this Paper and save yourself money by trading at home bers of the committee. The plans were approved and heartily supported. Mr. O'Kelly's wide influence proved a great asset. We sought new sources of help. The response was immediate and far beyond our expectations. The Berry O'Kelly Teacher Training and Industrial School was organized. The main building was erected, additions to the faculty made, new and up-to-date equipment installed, ten acres of land added. To effect this we carried on a campaign for voluntary subscriptions among the people. By this means we secured pledges and cash to the amount of nearly $2,000.00. In 1917 Dr. J. H. Dillard paid a visit to the school and in his address in the auditorium said that he had been telling of what should be done, and what ought to be done, and what could be done, "but," he said, "I find that here you are doing those very things" Continuing he said, "If I could place this school on wheels I would roll it down through the entire South as an object lesson." Mr. O'Kelly gave $500.00 in cash and the ten acres of land adjoining the school site. From the time we adopted plans for the expansion of the school he has worked increasingly. Now the school enjoys the high distinction of an accredited high school, has a faculty of 14 instructors, has erected a new two story brick dormitory for girls, has acquired nearly all the adjoining property, and carried an enrollment of 55 students in the session 158th to the High School department. The present prima prima-Prof. H. L. Triggs—is a thoroughly competent school man and is giving the school an enviable place among our educational forces. With the means at its disposal and with other sources of income that are available, there is no reason why this school should not exert a commanding influence over a large section of North Carolina It has financial basis. It has the physical equipment. It has the advantage of location. Why should it not expand into larger life, broader fields and reach higher attaining? Perhaps I should say that I resigned the principship in 1917 to accept War work. Up to that time the salaries paid were merely nominal. I had spent eight years of hard work, in term time and in vacation, in bringing the school into being. I was financially exhausted. IN THIS SECTION City. News-Virginia and North Carolina Features and Editorials. Drastic reforms in North Carolina's penal system are, likely to follow out of the inhuman beating to death of Joe Armstrong, a convict road worker of the Rocky Mount chain gang a few weeks ago by two camp guards, who received sentences of 20 years each in the penitentiary. This brutal incident aroused popular indignation and prompted Judge N. A. Sinclair, who heard the trial, to conduct a jury investigation in the conduct of affairs of the Rocky Mount gang camp in Nash county. The grand jury's report is in the hands of Judge Sinclair. Various accusations, ranking from alleged drunkenness and immorality, inhuman treatment of prisoners, threats of punishment if prisoners divulged anything of the treatment received, to "disregard of any and all laws," were contained in the report. It was also alleged in the report that crimes were committed in the presence of prisoners that were worse than crimes for which the prisoners themselves were sentenced. The investigators uncovered existing in the camp cruelties and inhumanities unbelievable in the twentieth century and some that would dwarf some of the crudest tribes, the most violent tribes. Two or three attempts have been made by officials prominent in the affairs of State recently to white wash Carolina's prison camp conditions by statements asserting that as a rule no untoward conditions had been found. The grand jury's report explodes the attempted white wash. Siamese Students Numerous in America Siamese students are coming in increasing numbers to the United States.

Wallace, Thursday evening, July 2, in honor of Dr. F. D. Blufyrd, President of A. & T. College, representative citizens of Greensboro in attendance eloquently and freely expressed their satisfaction in the choice of Mr. Bluford as the desirable successor to the late Dr. James B. Dudley. The spacious living room and dining room of Mr. Wallace were converted into one large banquet hall, which was softly illuminated with pale blue lights, casting their delicate reflection over the room that was festooned with gold and blue, A. & T. colors, and artistically decorated with yellow roses and ferns, transforming the plane into one veritable garden of beauty and elegance. At the guests arrived, they were greeted by the host and hostess and presented with souvenirs of yellow roses and ferns. Mr. Wallace acted as toastmaster, during which time delectable courses of punch, grapefruit, chicken salad, ice cream, after dinner mints and saltines were served. Several Addresses The speaking began with an eloquent presentation address by Dr. Frank Trigg, President of Bennett College, in which he spoke of the development of the A. & T. College as being one of the three greatest institutions for Negroes in this country. He mentioned his pleasant associations with the College and Dr. Bluford and his idea of Mr. Bluford's fitness for the position. In response to this, President Bluford thanked Mr. Wallace for his hospitality and in a brief manner, outlined some of the things he has planned to do toward the continued development of the work of the college, after stressing particularly, a great need for more intelligent Negro citizenship. Mr. Bluford stated that he wanted to make the A. & T. College second to no other institution of its kind in America, and consequently, accepting this responsibility, he had with no thought of prominence or esteem, but mainly with the view of contributing the largest possible service to the Negro youth of North Carolina and America. Dr. D. C. Suggs, in addressing this body, emphatically stated that because of his interest in educational opportunities for his group, and because of his respect for Mr. Bluford's ability and fitness for the presidency of the college, he willingly pledges his unvacillating support to its present administration. Addresses by Professor C. M. Epps of Greenville and Dr. Chas. H. Moore of this city were somewhat similar in tone, in that they both stated a bit of the historical background of the institution; Dr. Moore saying that he was anxious for Mr. Bluford to make good, while Mr. Epps said that the President not only had his support for 1925, but if he made good, he would be assured even stronger favor in 1926, on, for after all, he was only interested in the work which James K. Ford did for which he gave his life; and feeling that Mr. Bluford was equipped and capable, he was standing behind him with every word of encouragement. Professor E. E. Curtright, principal of the High Point Normal School, in assuring the gentlemen of this assembly of his satisfaction in the selection promised Mr. Berry O'Kelly of Method, who appealed to the graduates of High Point Normal School as feeders for his college department. Like sentiment was expressed by Mr. Berry O'Kelly of Method, who appealed to the body to encourage the graduates of the high schools of the State to enter A. & T. College and to help develop its college department. Mr. O'Kelly stated that of "A" grade, "For as President Blurford has wisely said," stated Mr. O'Kelly, "An "A" grade college cannot be had merely through legislative enactment. It requires students of college grade, and I trust the high schools of the State will realize this fact and give their aid in developing the A. & T. College, which is destined to give to the high school of which Christian the kind of education it so rightfully deserves. Lawyer Mitchell of Greenbsdow delivered an eloquent address, in which he confirmed the speeches of the other gentlemen that Mr. Bluford was his choice and because he was a graduate of A & T College, he was satisfied with the selection, which he considered both logical and sagacious. Dr. Gilmer was as usual very convincing in saying that he considered Mr. Bluford to be a capable man, a quiet and reserved gentleman and a competent administrator; he reposes implicit faith in Mr. Bluford's ability. Others Present Among other prominent citizens of Greensboro present were: Dr. A. M. Rivera, Dr. S. P. Sebastian, Dr. G. J. Simkins, Dr. B. W. Bone, Dr. J. W. Wace-Poig, G. E. Nelson, Prof. D. K.

Because of this promised support, it is already granted that the finest spirit of good-will, interest and cooperation will be given the new administration of the college, and that the future is not far distant when the citizens of the State will harmoniously blend their efforts in accentuating the actions of the college to bring about developments in the A. & T. College to the sheer satisfaction of the Board of Trustees and to the people of North Carolina. WAVERLY Waverly, Va.—Mrs. Helen E.

AGENTS WANTED Write for Puriculum SUNDAY, JULY 11, 1925 Unfavorable Weather HasHad Marked Effect On Cultivation of Staple Commodity; 1924 Low Prices Reflected. The cotton acreage planted in Virginia this year is estimated to be 98,000 acres, compared with 102,000 last year according to the Virginia Crop Reporting Service. The decrease of 10 per cent in the acreage this year is due to a number of causes, the principal of which are the poor yields made last year, lower prices, and the unavoidable weather this spring. Many growers who, had a large acreage of cotton last year, very much disappointed in the results so this year have curtailed their plantings considerably. In many counties on the northern edge of the cotton territory where there was a large acreage last year, cotton plantings have been greatly reduced. Brunswick and Greenville counties report very little change in the acreage compared with last year; but in Southampton and Nansenmouth the acreage has been reduced about 15 per cent. Unfavorable Weather Owing to the unfavorable weather conditions during May growers had considerable difficulty in securing a stand. Much replanting was necessary, and in some instances stands were not perfect after the fields had been replanted two or three times. The stand is better, however, than last year. The growth of cotton is backward, but the plants have a good color and condition have been well maintained on June 5th was reported to be 95 per cent of normal, compared with 91 per cent last year and 80 per cent the ten year average. The condition improved eleven points since the May report. With favorable weather during the remainder of the season on Virginia cotton will make an excellent yield. The cotton acreage in the United States is estimated to be 46,448,000 acres which is 8.9 per cent above the acreage planted last year. A crop for the United States of 14,239,000 bales is indicated by the condition figure of 75.9 per cent on June 25. Forecasts on this date, however, frequently show a considerable difference from a first estimate of the crop will depend upon the amount of moisture and the weevil damage during the remainder of the season. In Texas, especially, a soaking rain is badly needed as this State reports a lack of moisture in nearly all sections. Weevil infestation thus far is generally light in Texas and along the northern border of the cotton belt. A large portion of the Atlantic and Gulf States weevils are much more numerous than they were last year but the hot dry weather for several weeks, and the use of poison have somewhat reduced their menace.

A NOBLE TRIBUTE PAID MISS PORTER (By Associated Negro Press) Cincinnati, Ohio, June 30—On Saturday, Miss Jennie Porter, the principal of the Stowe School for coldred children will be given the degree of master of arts by the university of Cincinnati, written for Alma Mater. The article published by the Cincinnati Post. And after that she will commence to study for the degree of doctor of philosophy. That will take two or three of her years, and Miss Porter is already along in her forties. But she counts years by things learned, and by things done. "I'm young in knowledge," she says. "There is still so much to be learned and so much to be done." Now we think that something more than the course we learned said when Jennie words is made a master of arts next Saturday. If we were the president of the university, we would say: "Today we give Miss Jennie Porter the degree of master of arts. She has studied to gain this degree that it might be a decoration for her race rather than for herself. In the years of her life when other people have ceased to study she continues, so that what honor she gains may reflect to the good of her people. "She hopes that the world will say kindly, 'Here is one of an oppressed race who has triumphed over oppression and prejudice and has risen to the full dignity of human spirit. To me the rights not of her school rise if we lifted oppression from the necks." "For this kind of thought Miss Porter has studied here through long years, coming to the university in her spare time after her work in her own school hours." "It is said that all God's children have wings but not all get a chance to grow them, especially the children with the raven wings. Today we are hoping one who, despite all that race prejudice must strong wings that beat toward the skies with the winged white children. "It is the practice to cast stones at the winged blackened child. But Jennie Porter has said to her people: 'Let us not mind the stones. Let us make our wings strong and beautiful through education so that we may fly toward the skies, where the stones will not reach us. And what if the stones even then strike us? We can endure their blows, for we will have become strong to fly. We can endure their blows. We the educated spirit does not grieve under blows; it rises above them." "So Jennie Porter pointing the way to the stars, has summoned her people to rise with her. Thru her efforts alone there was built, for them a great school house in the west end, where she teaches them to discover the beauty of their spirits. Once she planned a opegane in her school, and for the queen she chose the homeliest of her pupils. "But how can I be queen? asked the little girl. I'm so ugly. You can be as beautiful as you want to be, answered Miss Porter. All you can be as beautiful as they want to be, and the right of the nageant the queen looking in, to the mirror, exelamed: "You have made me beautiful." "We can give this woman only a master of arts degree. We wish we could confer the degree of Master of Human Spirit in adversity. To her we would give it. "She accepts the degree of master of arts as a decoration for people in the hope that, upon observing it, there will be a person here and there who will speak the kindly thought to what heights might not her people rise if oppression were lifted from their necks?"

HOME AND KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Department of Education and Inspiration for the Housewife -Edited By- MARION JANE PARKER, Director, Home -Economics, Columet Baking Powder Company, Chicago, Illinois. Of all desserts the frozen one is the summer favorite, if fact it a vote could be taken I believe it would lead to the list as the all- year-round favorite. In the first place they are enjoyfully delicious to the taste; we like their flavor and texture (if properly done), next they are an excellent medium for supplying their dietary essentials; first with eggs and cream and last this type of dessert may be an excellent medium for supplying their dietary essentials; first with eggs and cream and last this type of dessert may be adapted to any and every menu, be it simple and cheap or elaborate and expensive. We may all have our reference for various creams, this usually being due to the foundation. Some like the custard or New York style—others like the straight cream, ice cream like the straw-like the addition of some gelatine to guarantee a smoothness against any grind due to incorrect separation or speed in freezing. Milk sherbet is a favorite. It is lighter than regular ice cream and for that reason gives an agreeable touch to the end of a hearty meal. Frozen fruits are always well liked and can be prepared at any time of the year, for canned fruit may be used when fresh is not available. Canned evaporated milk makes it more nutritious. Many recipes call for it, and it may be substituted also in the others where fresh milk is ordinarily used. Although to the amateur housewife the number of frozen desserts seems endless, there are really only about six basic recipes to making them all, and she has only to become familiar with these in order to be prepared to serve a new variety every one of the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year.

Drastic Social Hygiene Legislation By a single stroke of force, action the Republic of Chile recently joined the ranks of the nations giving special and continued attention to the control of venereal diseases.

UNIQUE CHURCH SERVICES One of the most pleasing sights that contours one when entering the Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. James S. Hatcher is pastor, particularly for the morning services, each Sunday is the section of pews well up front that is reserved and usually filled with children. Dr. Hatcher who says that he believes in the literal word of the Scriptures stands firmly in the saying of "Suffer little harm" come unto Me, and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." That is why he makes special provisions for them in church in order that they might be encouraged a n want to come to church. He also teaches them the meaning and the why's and wherefore's of the Holy Communion, and on Communion Sunday they commune as do the older people. He hatcher who is an eminent Bible scholar and a fundamentalist announces that he is soon to deliver a lecture on the subject of Evolution. A slight disturbance which was the cause of a little distraction from an interesting sermon Sunday morning was that one of the members, a Mrs. Scott, was intensely overcome by her intense heart and the sudden bodily from church, but it was said later that she suffers from heart attacks. From last reports she is slightly improved. FLKS INITIATE 600 It is indeed peculiar, when one thinks of it, what an effort the mere waving of "Old Glory" has upon an individual, and what a thrill it sends one one especially when one comes suddenly upon her waving in unacustomed places. This is the effect that it had upon many people Friday when they burned suddenly into Second street and saw three big American flags waving in front of the Hippodrome Theatre and two in front of the Globe Theatre. The holes in the wall had holes drilled in the cement walk and inserted steel cups for a flag staff. This was done in preparation for the coming Elks Convention, but was placed there on Friday night because Williams Lodge had a private "midnight ramble" and smoker in the Hippodrome after the biz-parade and the obligation and initiation of 600 candidates into the order which was done at the Reformers Hall. GALA JULY 4TH Few people there be among us who take the time to think just what the Fourth Day of July means. Most people look upon it merely as a day to be free from work and to enjoy ourselves and that is usually what happens as was evidenced by the varied and sundry kinds of amusement going on that day. From breakfast to the midnight the music, vate and public pienies, baseball games, hayrides, card parties and what nots, every kind of amusement imaginable. If it means independence and freedom everybody seemed to hit at least on the spirit of the day and have a good time.

Would you believe it? Corned beef and cabbage is the favorite dish of New Yorkers who patronize eating places. Ham and eggs comes last on the 'list. The United Restaurant Owners' Association made a survey of their patrons' preferences and got the remarkable result as stated. Chicken did not have a show in, while Long Island duck came in with the third grouping. "The flapper of sixteen is a natural phenomenon, but the flapper of sixty is a social liability," declares Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn, New York, one of the outstanding thinkers of the times. He does not think that the neglect of the home and the pursuit of pleasures and the exercise of the large freedom which women have fallen heir to are good and helpful influences in the life of the race. What think you? Prof. Kelly Miller did a very good job when he wrote his appreciative article on Rev. Francis J. Grimke, D. D., the brilliant and beloved pastor for some forty years of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church at Washington. Prof. Miller heads his article, "A Man of God in an Age of Gold." That about covers it. Dr. Grimke has done a great work for the race in the ministry, in education, in uplift work, and at seventy-five he is still in the service. He is what may be styled a consecrated man. The destruction of Santa Barbara, California, last week by an earthquake was not as destructive of life as it might have been, the property loss being estimated at $20,000,000. Earthquakes may be expected in the Pacific Coast country at any time. Tremors are felt everyday in a small or large way from San Francisco to Apari, Luzon, Philippines. Geologically it is all new formation and has not had sufficient time to settle. One gets a shock once a day in the Philippines and soon gets not to mind it at all. Vaccinate Against Typhoid Fever In view of the small number of colored people who have presented themselves for free vaccination against typhoid fever, the health department addresses a special warning to the race group calling attention to the needless risk to which we expose ourselves by neglecting to take this treatment. By all means the warning should be heeded, and every person in the community who has not taken the precaution to guard against an attack of typhoid fever should do so at once. Typhoid is a dreaded malady, often-proving-fatal, and no one can foretell when and where it may strike. Any person who carelessly disregards the possibility of becoming its next victim, particularly at this time of the year when, as the health department warns, "acute infections are most prevalent," lives in a fool's paradise. It seems paradoxical with our group that we clamor for the advantages we have not, but ignore those we have. Here the health officials have located a free vaccination station at a point convenient to the center of our neighborhood and have virtually implored us, as a measure of protection to ourselves, to vaccinate against typhoid; yet, according to their records, we have shown marked indifference toward the opportunity. We are disadvantaged in hospital facilities, by the lack of money to maintain a physician's services or to provide for our dependents over a prolonged period of illness, yet we go about our way exhibiting a foolish indifference to an attack of a disease more or less prevalent, while the other group, advantaged in the things in which we are disadvantaged are taking measures to protect themselves against sickness, or possibly death. There should be no necessity for another warning. Let all who have an interest in themselves, and others with whom they must come in contact immediately take the vaccination treatment against typhoid, both as a measure of protection to their own health, and a precaution against passing on the infection to others. Editorial Page 01 Self-Help Encourages Others To Help Us Since the emancipation of the race there has been a wonderful change in the life of the Afro-American people. Measured by years we have had somewhat more than fifty of freedom and opportunity, and fifty years are but few to those who start at the bottom of the ladder and must climb upward in competition with others who have enjoyed twenty centuries and more of freedom and opportunity. And, yet, we have no cause for complaint. We have made a splendid record, with the help of others, in home, church, school and industrial and business making. We have made a good foundation, and we are steadily building upon it. We are gradually boring our way into all of the thought, word and acts of the National life, and that shows that we are a growing and not a dead race incapable of taking advantage of the freedom and opportunity that others of our fellow-citizens enjoy equally with us, and of which poor foreigners who have come among us are making the most of. That is to say, we have demonstrated that we are a growing and not a stagnant and backward race, as the Red Indians have proved to be. We have a future, a very big future, in the Western world and especially in the United States. These thoughts have been called forth by the news article in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of June 27, in which it was related that Mr. W. G. Pearson of Durham, N. C., one of a distinguished party returning from a meeting of the Bishops' Council of the A. M. E. Church at Los Angeles, has donated $25,000 towards the erection of a Science Hall at Kittrell College, and that others of the party, among them Bishop Gaines, Bishop Vernon, Dr. Arnett, and Mr. J. M. Avery, had also made specific gifts for college equipment at the same time. Mr. Pearson's gift and those of his fellow travellers to Kittrell are significant because it shows that we are getting able financially to help our good causes and that we have the disposition to do so. It is very necessary that we make this display of willingness to give when we are able because we have received so abundantly from others not of our group during the past fifty years to assist us in getting on our feet. When these good and generous people see that we are willing to help ourselves when we are able they will be encouraged to help all the more in promoting good and necessary work among us. But the disposition to give has not just now made itself felt among us. There has been a great awakening in this matter during the past ten years. We have been giving help to our colleges, our churches and our uplift work with some approach to our ability to give, and we shall continue to do so in larger measure. Our graduates of the schools appreciate the benefits of education they have enjoyed and as they go out into the world and succeed, as they should succeed, they are minded to help the institutions that helped them so that others circumstanced as they were in their need may be helped. That is the correct spirit, and it is easy for these graduates to spread it abroad among the masses, as they have done and are doing, and it is natural that pride of race and pride in the institutions of the race should thus become a part of the life of the masses of the race. When that has been accomplished, as it has been in the case of the oppressed Jews, the race will be in a position of security such as other race groups of the citizenship enjoy. Those who help themselves will find plenty of others to help them. Native Africans Are Beginning To Wake Up And Talk Back The interest which Afro-Americans have in Africa and its people is of the same kind as the German and other Europeans who have lived long enough in the United States to become citizens have in their home countries and peoples. They are for the most part satisfied with conditions as they have them in the United States, which are admittedly better than those to be found in any other country, but they do not forget the home country and are ready at all times to give its people their moral and financial assistance in a crisis. Some few Africans, some few Europeans are dissatisfied in the United States and want to return to their homelands, but they are few in number and would not be satisfied if they were repatriated. We have noticed that it has been a hard matter to keep the Bishops of our churches assigned to Africa in their African Episcopal Districts, and they return to the United States during the life of the assignment as often as they can, and that they make haste to return to the United States and to remain in it as soon as the term of their Episcopal assignment expires. We have also noticed that native African's who have come to the United States, to get an education or better conditions of living, seldom return to Africa, or express any desire to do so. West Indians who come to the United States are like minded. They seldom return to the home islands. Now, why is this so? The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has seen the first copy of The African World, published at Cape Town, South Africa, and edited by Prof. James S. Thaele, a very scholarly and courageous Native, published in the interest of the African National Congress, and dedicated to the proposition, "Africa for the Africans; Europe for the Europeans." It is printed in the English and Bantu languages. Mary, Queen of Scots, Prayer Keep us Oh Lord, from pettiness, Let us be larger in thought and word and deed.

May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let us take time for all things. Segrega Integrity From the The Editor says bluntly that "the white man has failed morally here in Africa to govern the subject race in the light of Christianity," therefore, "the time has arrived when the white church must be for the white man and the black church for the black man." He urges the Marcus Garvey theory of African unification and Nationalism and the Mahatma Ghandi theory of noncooperation with the whites in anything. He says: "The irresistible wave of race consciousness which is now sweeping the Negroid elements from the Occident to the Orient has created and is continuing to create a quasi spiritual regeneration among the already suspicious aboriginals; hence we must have a directive policy, a policy that is continuous." There are signs in many directions in Africa that the Native Africans are beginning to think in terms of race instead of family and in terms of Nationalism instead of tribalism. As the Asiatics and Africans are developing a rebellious disposition towards the European powers that have usurped their lands and freedom, the European powers have been greatly weakened in their concert of purposes by the World War and the set up of small States, which are jealous and beginning to war among themselves, making a European war possible at any time. Native Africans are beginning to wake up. Europeans understand that and are very uneasy on account of it. The general apprehension of European powers because of the war of the Riff tribesmen on the Spanish and French in Morocco shows this to be the case. Possibly A Lynching Was Averted Judge White's prompt order directing the transfer of a colored man suspected of an atrocious attack upon a white farmer and his wife of Princess Anne County from the jail at Virginia Beach to the Norfolk city jail was the kind of precaution which oftimes frustrates the purpose of mobs, saves communities the disgrace of a lynching and preserves the law inviolate. His action was worthy of commendation. It is believed that sentiment against mob violence, fostered by the press and responsible citizens, has appreciably increased in this State since Virginia was disgraced by a lynching last spring. Nevertheless, it is necessary and proper that officers of the law, in every case where the crime is of such a nature as to provoke community wrath, take prompt measures to safeguard any person suspected of the deed, until sentiment gains an opportunity to cool hot heads. According to the principle of our law, the Princess Anne county suspect is innocent until proved guilty by the courts, before which he is entitled to his day regardless of the atrociousness of the crime of which he is suspected. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot uttered a timely admonition when it said: "Princess Anne county can afford to have no traffic with mob violence. The situation arising out of the axe atrocity calls for cool heads." The proper time to seek to allay public wrath is before it has culminated into a lynching. It is highly possible that such will prove more effective in preserving the law than the denouncing of the act after it has been committed. No doubt, if in every case where the press carries on its front pages a harrowing story of an atrocious assault upon an individual and of the hunt of the posse, it would at the same time devote some editorial space cautioning "cool heads" in the case of a capture, more lynchings would be averted. Spirit of the Press A Good Time For Cool Heads From Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. In Princess Anne County Tuesday morning a white farmer and his wife were brutally assaulted by an individual wielding an axe. The attacker is said to have been a Negro. The victims are in the hospital, a colored man is held as suspect, and the police are publicly quoted as believing that he was the assailant. In some parts of the South such a situation would be one to cause uneasiness. The people of Princess Anne County have pursued an orderly course with respect to this case, so far, and will no doubt adhere to this course to the end. Nevertheless, the assembling of a small crowd before the Virginia Beach jail upon learning of the capture of a suspect was a disquieting development.

"Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution rible embarrassment of starting evolution to do away with God and then having to borrow life from God. So he started out to get life apart from and independent of God, but where. Finally he hit on the idea of getting it in the mud on the bottom of the deep sea that was a safe place—no one would ever call his hand—so he said life started at the bottom of the deep sea and presto the scientific world that up to the time of evolution followed the inductive rather than the deductive method—that insisted on "facts before theory" all fell for Huxley's new far away safe source of life and learned stuff was spun out of the inner consciousness of Huxley's followers. I have almost said henchmen about "bioplast" life stuff—the stuff out of which life comes. But the writer states government called his hand. Huxley had never tried the mud—it was way off and way down and that is what the guessers want to go millions of years back or thousands of feet down and then all unobserved manufacture life out of their imagination and call it "science" and hit you over the head with their ever ready club "the scientists are agreed" if you do not swallow it. The United States-fitted out a ship sent it out got up some of the "bioplast" from the bottom of the ocean and Huxley's hoax was exploded and there was wrung from Huxley the reluctant confession "there is no link between the living and the non-living. Then Darwin had to admit, Life and Letters Page 25, Volume 3. Though there are two or three million species (of life) on earth sufficient field one would think for observation it must be said today that in spite of all the efforts of trained observers not one change of a species into another is on record. Now you see evolution is in a bad way. It cannot account for matter—the Bible can. It says God created it. Evolution cannot account for life, it has to borrow life from God. The Bible can. It says God made it. Darwin admits "spontaneous, generation unthinkable" and Huxley compelled to confess when his "bioplast," life stuff went "dead" on him "no link between the living and the non-living" and then with Darwin's admission of no change of species ever recorded, surely evolution is in a bad way. No wonder the scientists are getting mad and calling Mr. Bryan names—names for Mr. Bryan won't help evolution, what evolution needs is facts to keep a false and godless theory from collapsing and the facts cannot be found. They are all with Moses in Genesis. Next week: Dr. Morris will write on, "Evolution Abandoned And Denounced By Leading Scientists." The Public Pulse American-Vs. British Editor Journal and Guide, Sir—Which of the Amendments to our Constitution is the least respected and most generally violated, the Fourteenth or Eighteenth? Is it not true that the British with no written Constitution are more law-abiding than the Americans who have an elaborate written document? Evolution Ruined by the Admission of its Founder and Champions. Evolution started with a guess and has never gotten beyond it. If it were little children, they would say "let's play" man came from a tiny form of life like a fish egg. Then one bright child would say "but where did the fish egg come from,?" and he would break up the game—unless they all agreed, "oh let's play he came from the fish egg and ask no questions." Well that is just where science is today about life and man. In 1858 Charles Darwin an English scientist started out with the idea which we call the Darwinian theory of organic evolution. Contrary to Bacon he did not start with facts but he started with a theory and has had trouble with facts ever since. Evolution is science's desperate effort to get. rid of God and science is having the time of its life in doing it. First, there is matter! Where did matter come from and honest evolutionist knows he cannot logically go a step further until he has accounted for matter—and he has no account and no way to account for matter apart from God—but let us grant him matter. Here is this tremendous mysterious awful thing life. Where did life come from and the evolutionist who is going to account for three million species of life is going to tell you in short how from one cell, eyeless, legless cell came by natural selection all the fish that swim the sea, all the birds that wing the air, all the beasts that roam the fields and man. He cannot to save his life tell you where life came from. Darwin was honest enough to say spentaneous generation is unthinkable—that is that it is impossible to think that life just started of itself and so in his sheer desperate need he went to God and borrowed the lowest form of life. He didn't like to do it but had to. His theory was hopelessly stalled and reluctantly he had to call on God to help him get started,—then he would not bother Him any more. He would use "natural selection" and resident forces" and the survival of the fittest to help him over the three million other difficulties till he got to man. But cannot any man of average intelligence see if Darwin has to call on God for life—for the lowest form of life he gives the whole case of evolution away. If God had to make one species as the evolutionist is compelled to admit then creation is scientific if God made one as Darwin admits, what is to hinder him from making all as Moses says in the first chapter of Genesis. Thomas Huxley, agnostic, Darwin's friend and special champion and defender felt the ter der directing the transfer of the accused man to the Norfolk city jail was a proper precaution. Already Virginia has been disgraced this year by a lynching Mobs sometimes form unexpectedly and once formed they become dangerous. Princess Anne County can afford to have no traffic with mob violence. The situation arising from the axe atrocity calls for cool heads. The suspect who is held is innocent in the eyes of the law until a court has found him guilty. When he is found guilty the State will itself provide the punishment. 1 Of all the words in the dictionary the one word which comes nearest to describing and comprehending the "American Race Problem" is the word segregation. Segregation creates and perpetuates the problem. It is an effort for separate and usually different treatment in church and state and industry. Method Fails to Solve Anything Altho the whole history of the South is abundant proof of the failure of this method as a solution for anything, the North in its human weakness is progressively imitating this bad example and preparing daily to fall into the same chasm, which is an inferne of Jim Crowism, disfranchisement and lynching. Segregation creates a dozen problems for every one it seems to solve. The new difficulties brought on by segregation are mutual unacquaintanceship of the segregated groups and consequent increased suspicion, jealousy, fear, prejudice, hate, and all the other spawn of this mutual ignorance. Every example illustrates the truth that the more segregation, the more trouble. In every northern center where segregation enters, prejudice and inter-racial troubles increase,—for the plain and homely reason that segregation decreases the opportunities of the people to know each other, and better knowledge of each other is what they need in order to get along better together. Segregation proceeds on the queer logic that the less two peoples know about each other, the better fitted are they to live together. Race's Struggles Benefit Nation When a disadvantaged minority is segregated, there seems to be the assumption that the interests of the segregated group are not related to those of the general community, and that the progress and success of the segregated group does not add to the sum of the general good. Therefore, we will point out, in a few examples, how the Negro's struggle has benefitted the whole nation and the entire civilization,—in so far as the struggle has succeeded. The fight of black Americans against segregation of the ghetto type is also making a contribution to the advancement of the status of American citizenship. Until 1917 any local legislative body, even a city council, could by a simple majority vote, forbid white and colored peleo to move into the same block or other territory. Such laws tend to create ghettoes for the minority group. In 1917 after a hard fought legal battle, beginning in the State of Kentucky, the colored people proved before the highest tribunal of the nation that such legislation is both impolitic and unconstitutional. This was another victory, not alone for the Negro, but for American civilization; for it proved that the Gentiles cannot by law segregate Jews, and that dominating Protestants could not so segregate Catholics,—and vice versa. Since this decision, the mediaevalists have burrowed from a new direction; making private agreements in contracts and deeds of sale to exclude some proscribed minority from a specific territory; and when this private agreement is violated by any part to it, the others propose to use injunctions of the courts of all the people to enforce this privately determined segregation. This attack on the integrity of American citizenship must be finally defeated. Such private agreements may not be unconstitutional, but the use of the power of the whole people to enforce such contracts certainly ought to be declared, in the light of the 1917 decision, unconstitutional. If this victory is won, it will be a defense to all minorities, not only the Negro; if it is lost, it will be a loss to the dignity and worth of American citizenship. "Race" Is An Idea Justice or injustice must be done to individuals and not to a race; for deeds affect the welfare of individuals, of one individual, or of many individuals, but always of individuals. Race is one of those generalizations which we substitute for the bother of thinking. We cannot really hurt or help a race; it is individuals that we hurt or help, directly and indirectly. The individual is a 'fact, a psychologi- cal unit, a person "race" is an idea, be a figment of thoughts. A race is when we scorn it. A dual human object feels it.
