Norfolk Journal and Guide KANSAS COURT UPHOLDS EXCLUSION A decision that a restaurant keeper is not bound by the same requirements as the owners of inns, hotels and boarding houses, or places of entertainment or amusement, in statutes providing that no distinction be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, has been handed down by the Supreme Court of Kansas in the case of the State against Brown, which was the prosecution of a restaurant owner for refusing to serve a colored man. STOPS PREACHER IN MIDST OF SERMON TO ARGUE "POINT" Young Bible Student Interrupts Richmond Pastor To Call For An Explanation of His Statement On Bible. ROBERT A. CRUMP Richmond, Va.—Quite a singular thing occurred at the night services at Sharon Baptist church Sunday, last, when Rev. R. H. Johnson was interrupted in the midst of his sermon by a member of the congregation. It is the usual custom of church goers to sit quietly and listen and accept the gospel, or, at least pretend to do so, while it is being delivered from the pulpit. Jacob Horn, a young Bible student-who is a member of Sharon church gave the pastor a "call down" before his congregation and endeavored to show him that he was preaching false doctrine. According to Mr. Horn's own statement he told the minister that he was preaching a lot of lies. Mr. Horn had listened carefully to the reading of the text and had followed the course of the sermon with grave intent. His sudden outburst, however, while the sermon was at its height rather confused the minister but he attempted to answer his questioner who had already pulled his Bible out of his pocket and began reading what he thought the preacher should have read and explained to his congregation. This, while adding more to the confusion, brought forth at the same time, many "Amens" from different parts of the church. The minister finally finished his discourse and after the service took the young man back into his study where he tried to thrash the subject out to the satisfaction of both. There was a similar occurrence a few months ago when the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church was interrupted in the middle of his sermon because he spoke in opposition to the Ku Klux Klan. The disturber in that instance was led to the door and was politely knocked down by a member of the congregation. Mortgages Home For A "Gold Brick" "A fool and his money are soon parted," is a saying as old as money itself and contains a germ of truth. This is not saying Mrs. Mary Teacher, of Goldsboro, N. C., was a fool, but she certainly is now a fooled woman, according to reports from that town. This woman placed a $500 mortgage on her home and exchanged the money for a "gold brick." She has the mortgage and the brick and no easy way to rid herself of either. According to the report a smoothed tongue appealing 'gent' called by the home of Mrs. Teacher and talked so engagingly that she invited him not to hurry. He didn't, at that time at least, but evidently has hurried a good deal since. This stranger, who called himself George Williams, went out into Mrs. Teacher's field and dug up a "gold brick." It was worth $75,000, he told the woman. The brick had to be sold to get the $75,000, however, he explained and $500 was required to engage a near friend at Raleigh to do the selling. Mrs. Teacher, of course, was to come in on the bounty found on her property if she kept her mouth shut and would get the necessary $500. The house was mortgaged to get the needed amount. A letter was duly mailed to Raleigh, because the woman saw that done. George Williams, the smoothongued stranger soon followed in the direction of his letter or some other direction not yet ascertained by the woman, or the police. No answer has yet come from Raleigh or George and Mary Teacher is a wiser woman. TAKE SEVEN IN RAID ON GANG OF ALLEGED THIEVES Leot Valued At $100,000 Said To Have Been Made Off By Group Of Burglars Operating In Atlantic City, N. J. ACTIVITIES SAID TO COVER MONTHS Three Norfolk men and a former Norfolk woman were arrested by detectives at Atlantic City, N. J., in their haul of an alleged gang of thieves Monday of last week. The gang was alleged to have made off with a loot valued at $100,000 in the last few months. The Norfolk men arrested were Ollie Washington, Ernest Crowell and Page Obey, according to reports from the seashore resort. Taken in custody with them were Andrew Terry, a reputed political leader, his wife, Barbara, charged with conducting a "fence" where the plunder was disposed, Mrs. Thelma Brown and Mrs. Katherine Eagle, Mrs. Barbara Terry is said to have been formerly of Norfolk, where she is known as Barbara Byrd. All of the group were held pending an investigation, except Ollie Washington, who has returned to this city. carried on this evening. Sweoping down on 202 North Carolina avenue, detectives arrested the gang when they seized a quantity of goods, including a beautiful diamond stick pin, said by the police to be worth $14,000. Other booty included a fur coat, and a trunk filled with watches and jewelry. Police officers declare that this huge cache constituted only a part of the goods stolen in the past few months by a gang of burglars and search is being made for others who may have had a part in the robbery. Following questioning by the detectives Ollie Washington, who explained that he had no connection with the robbery and was in Norfolk at the time it was alleged to have occurred, was released. After Race Police In Texas City The Inter-racial Committee of Houston, Tex., is bending its efforts toward securing from the city administration added civic recognition for the colored people in the form of five Negro policemen the establishment of a senior high school and two junior high schools for colored children. A meeting at which it was decided to ask for this recognition was recently held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms of that city and, it is reported, was attended by a representative group of white and colored leaders, mostly business and professional men. Among the white men present were the former secretary and president of the school board and one of the city's civil service commissioners. The colored group was represented by a number of teachers, ministers and physicists. The fullest freedom of expression was encouraged and committees were appointed to take up with the city administration the matters agreed upon. Editor Love, of the Texas Freeman, a local colored paper, commenting on the meeting says: "The editor observed that the men constituting the committee were honest and sincere in their efforts to get together on a common level, to harmonize their differences, and to stamp out friction wherever and whenever it boils up." (Preston News Service). Okemah, Okla., July 15—Two men were reported killed and several injured in a clash between Negroes and whites at Clearview, seven miles southeast of here, late Wednesday. Reports to the sheriff's office are meager. Deputy sheriff were rushed to the town. DR. MORRIS TO SPEAK HERE MONDAY Dr. Charles S. Morris' talks on "Evolution" are omitted this week but will be resumed in next week's paper. Dr. Morris will be in the city next week and will address the Baptist Ministers' Conference here Monday. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 Misleading Letter Addressed To Prominent Group by Fanatics On The Question of Racial Integrity. RACE WATCHES NEW ATTACK BY FANATICS Negroes through out the country are watching with deep interest the attempt of leaders of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America with headquarters at Richmond, to force Hampton Institute into an unfavorable position and to turn public sentiment against the institution by open appeals to race prejudice. The principal, administrative officers and most of the instructors at Hampton are white. The school is privately endowed. This latest assault on the institute, which is a continuation of the first, takes the form of letters addressed to prominent members of the Southern Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund Committee including the governors of Virginia and North Carolina by Dr. Lawrence T. Price, chairman of the legislative committee of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, requesting that they withdraw from the committee until Dr. James E. Gregg, president of the institution, publicly announces a policy of strict separation of the races at Hampton. This sinister move against Hampton Institute, which the colored people of Virginia in particular and of America in general find difficult to reconcile with the Anglo-Saxon Clubs' alleged policy of fostering "better race relations," at first came unmasked before the public in editorial utterances of the Newport News Daily Press when that newspaper bitterly assailed the institution. When the attack was brought to the attention of Principal Gregg he wrote the Newport News editor a letter in which he denied that the institution encouraged the mingling of the races in a "romantic nature," and said the institute existed to help the colored people and had tried to be fair to both its white friends and its Negro constituency. This letter drew from the editor a number of questions on how the race issue is handled at the institute and demands for an answer. Dr. Gregg, evidently not feeling inclined to encourage agitation of race issues, has withheld his answer to these questions. An answer that will conform to the views of leaders of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs on the race issue is what John Powell is apparently endeavoring to force from Dr. Gregg through his method of spreading unfavorable propaganda among the members of the endowment committee of Hampton and Tuskegee. Mr. Powell goes so far as to pledge to Dr. Gregg, in case the Newport News editor's questions are "satisfactorily" answered, "the sympathy and support of those Southerners who have a ready proved their friendiness toward Negro education and towards Hampton Institute." But Mr. Powell goes even farther than that and makes his remarks amusing when he says, "I can also assure you of cordial support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." Marec Garvey is the leader of that movement and is serving a five-year sentence in Atlanta Federal penitentiary. Powell states that both Governor Trinkle of Virginia and Ex-Governor Richard I. Manning of South Carolina have indicated they will take action in regard to the matter. EGYPTS HISTORY 14,000 YEARS OLD A continuous view of successive civilization in Egypt, carried back some 14,000 years, is provided as a result of the discoveries of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, says Prof. Flinders Petrie, a writer in the London Times. During the last winter, he says, the work of the school was devoted to evacuating the remains of the earliest civilization, known as the Sadarian civilization, so-called from the name of the district which is south of Asyut. Heads Executive Committee of the Postal Auxiliary Mrs. R. J. Salisbury, of this city, who was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Woman's Auxiliary of the National Alliance of Postal Employees at the biennial session of that body in Washington, D. C., July 8-11. POSTAL EMPLOYEES END BIENNIAL MEET, BEST IN HISTORY POSTAL EMPLOYEES END BIENNIAL MEET, BEST IN HISTORY Delegates Representing Every Section Of Country Were In Attendance; Asst. Postmaster General Praises Men The National Alliance of Postal Employees closed one of the most eventful sessions within the history of the organization in Washington Saturday which began Tuesday, July 7, according to reports from the Capital. Delegates representing every section of the country were in attendance. R. A. Willohot, of St. Louis, Mo., was elected president; S. M. Jackson, of Washington, secretary, and Memphis, Tenn., was chosen as the place of meeting for the 1927 convention. The Woman's Auxiliary of the National Alliance held its session simultaneously with that of the men's body. the principal speakers for the occasion were Postmaster General New; First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett, Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson, General Superintendent of Railway Mail Service Riddell, Perry Howard, of the Department of Justice, John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk-at-large, John Risher and Henry Lincoln Johnson. First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett was received with enthusiasm when introduced at the convention. He invited the colored clerks, carriers and railway mail service men to examine the bright side of their employment and to think with optimism of the future. Eight Per Cent Colored Eight Per Cent Colored Mr. Bartlett stated that colored men comprise about 8 per cent of the total of postal employees. There are, he said, 22,000 colored postal employees out of a total of 300,000 none of whom received in salary less than 1,700. Responding to questions, he suggested that the clerk's pension should be $1,200 rather than $720. He also outlined the policy of the departments to give employees as much time off Saturday afternoons as the work would permit. Kindness Bringing About Better Feeling Referring especially to matters of discrimination affecting colored men in the service, he said: "I do not find a general belittling of the colored race in this country any more. You have your traditional troubles, but huw man kindness is fast driving out of the minds of people the distinction of color and race. Each day we see some fellow, of whatever race, who commands the respect of the world. "You have wonderfully preferred positions. But you have, best of all, the pride of knowing that you are working for the best government in the world. You are more than employees. Every one who is a part of the government of the United States is an officer of the country. You should take pride in being trusted by the government as an officer. Reputation Means Most "To hand down to your children the reputation of being trusted by the government is a better compen- (Continued on Page Size) FINANCE CONCERN NOW HAS $150,000 STOCK SUBSCRIBED Opens For Business With 550,000 Already Paid In. Will Make Loans To Approved Going Concerns. MORE CAPITAL ASSURED AS BUSINESS EXPANDS The National Negro Finance Corporation with headquarters at Durham, N. C., is ready for business, according to an announcement made from that city by its secretary-manager W. Gomez last Tuesday. Mr. Gomez stated that $150,000 of the capital stock has been subscribed and $50,000 paid in, it was therefore decided because of the fertile field which awaits the new concern to put the capital thus far paid in to work at once. The officers and stockholders express confidence that ample funds will be available as the corporation expands. Organized Two Years Ago The National Negro Finance Corporation which was organized about two years ago represents a concerted attempt of business and professional men of the race to amass in a gigantic pool available capital of the colored people of America to provide working capital; to seek new opportunities for profitable efforts; to create and develop a market for listing Negro securities; to create a nation-wide spirit of cooperation, and to foster and advance the financial and commercial development of Negroes. It is the outgrowth of an idea put forth by Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, president of the National Negro Business League, at the 1922 annual meeting of the league in Norfolk. Realizing the wonderful possibilities such a project, well organized and conservatively managed held for race development a number of prominent Negro business men immediately gave their approval to the movement and lined themselves up in support of it. A year or later the organization was formed at Durham with Dr. Moton as its president, C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, chairman of the executive board and W. Gomez, secretary-manager. In other official capacities and in large the board of directors are a large number of the most successful and substantial Negro business and professional men in the world. Stock Sales A Success Ever since the organization was formed the stock selling campaign has met with steady success, which indicates, it is generally conceded, the national confidence its personnel has on the public, and points to the fact that the race thoroughly appreciates that the concern holds the possibilities of providing unprecedented for development of Negro people of America. Acknowledgement Receipt Of $7.00 Donation The Journal and Guide has received acknowledgement from the Colored United Charities for $7.00 turned over to that organization, the amount being a contribution from St. John's A. M. E. Church to the Walter Blow Fund, but was received after this fund had been closed. Gne-Third Of Bond Issue For Colored Schools Colored citizens of Union City, Tenn., will benefit directly to the extent of $35,000 from the $90,000 bond issue. just authorized. Obion county has decided to set aside that amount for colored school buildings and equipment. During the following 12 months the school authorities plan to erect nine Rosenwald schools. This movement is being promoted by the Interracial Committee, of which the county superintendent of education is chairman. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR "A good local paper makes a good local community," says the Spokane Spokesman-Review. "The well-edited paper is a distinct advantage to its community and serves a need that will always exist. It prints the current news of the community, and, with a capable editor, it becomes a real factor in the upbuilding of the community. It can and does accomplish much for the commonwealth. It reflects the character of the community itself. It aids materially in the direction and assistance of all community development, both industrial and educational. It could not survive one year if no need existed or it failed to fill the wants." DEMAND TO SEE GIRL, MET WITH LOAD OF SHOT DEMAND TO SEE GIRL, MET WITH LOAD OF SHOT Young Men Learn To Their Regret: That It Is Decidedly Unsafe To Attempt Caveman Stuff On A Father. Two young men of Statesville, N. C. have learned to their serious regrets that it is not only contrary to all accepted proprieties of courtship but decidedly unsafe to go to the home of a girl and threateningly demand of her father the privilege of seeing her. A little lesson in the proper approach to both the father and daughter cost Arthur Bunch, of Blacksville, S. C., and John Sipes a trip to jail and the hospital one night last week when they in company with two other night adventurers, Raymond Fox and John Fox, went to the home of Dillard Javis at 10:35 o'clock and demanded with threats to see his daughter. Bunch is in the hospital in a serious condition having had his demands answered with a full load of shot in the face, head, neck and breast, fired at close range. Sipes lies wounded in jail. Raymond Fox gave bond of $500 for his appearance in Recorder's Court and John Fox, the only unmarried man in the party, escaped to parts unknown. Mr. Javis lives five miles north of Statesville and the Wilkesboro highway. WOMAN FRATERNAL LEADER IS DEAD Mrs. Agnes Rogers Allen Succumbs To Paralytic Stroke After Suffering For A Month. One of the most prominently known fraternal women of the city was removed in the death of Mrs. Agnes Rogers Allen which occurred at her home, 549 East Brambleton avenue Friday, July 10, following a stroke of paralysis from which she had been a sufferer since June 12, last. Mrs. Allen was the wife of Daniel Allen with whom she lived at her home address. She also enjoyed a large, acquaintance outside of her fraternal connections and was a most respected character. Her funeral was held at Bank Street Baptist Church, of which she was a member, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. M. Long, her pastor, officiating. Mrs. Allen was a member of the Past Daughter Rulers' Council, I. B. P. O. E. W., the Progressive Aid Society No. 18, Eastern Star, Arabia Courts, Princess of Absinia and the Beaugrens. She was an active church worker and served faithfully every order of which she was a member. She died at 40 years of age and was a native of Norfolk. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. "Original" Sermons For Sale A certain concern in Chicago now offers "original live up-to-date sermons, neatly typewritten, ready to take into the pulpit, for just a few cents in addition to the cost of typewriting and postage." A fine sermon just prepared might have been procured recently for only $2 and it was guaranteed to "create a sensation in any congregation." "Special prices for standing orders of one to five sermons a month." Why should ministers worry? 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers SAYS RACE SUFFERS FROM SHORTAGE OF DECENT HOMESITES Federal Council Of Churches Finds That Negroes Do Not Invade White Neighborhood For Social Equality. DESIRE TO ELEVATE LIVING STATUS, MOTIVE "Negro Americans have even more difficulty than other residents in finding suitable places in which to live because prejudice against them operates regardless of culture or financial standing" says the introduction to the report on housing by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. Negro families are attempting to move from alleys and congested districts in nearly every part of the country. In some cities where they have moved into neighborhoods tenanted by white residents their new homes have been set on fire in others they have been bombed, declares the report. One of the most surprising incidents in which intimidation was used to force colored people to vacate, the report finds, was that of a white congregation singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers" marching to the home of a highly-educated Negro who was engaged in important educational work. The leader handed the owner of the home a written demand that he leave the neighborhood and waited for his reply. The owner said he would remain where he was. The crowd left, but special police protection was needed for some time before the family felt safe in their home. Suffer From Shortage Explaining why Negroes continue the invasion of the theretofore white districts the report declares it is not because Negroes wish merely to move into white neighborhoods and to have white neighbors, but because they have suffered even more from housing shortage than white persons and are seeking to improve their health and living conditions by leaving the alleys and undesirable districts to which they have generally been expected to confine themselves. The report continues: "Under ordinary conditions other racial and national groups can usually secure housing accommodations in almost any residential area if they can pay for them and maintain the neighborhood standards in other resents. "It has frequently happened, however, that Negro residents have not been permitted to remain unmolested in their own homes even though they kept their property in superior condition and otherwise conducted themselves with entire propriety. Hoodlums have been permitted to break windows and to destroy flowers and shrubbery. Houses have been bombed. Concerted action on the part of supposedly respectable citizens in the way of anonymous warnings of calamities unless the property was vacated, actual physical attacks on members of the family, and destruction of property by fire or other means, threatened or carried out, are measures that have been used to force colored people from homes in neighborhoods where living conditions are desirable. Legal Measures Resorted 10 "Court action has been resorted to. Decision by the United States Supreme Court has made impossible restriction by ordinance of the residence privilege of any part of the population, but groups of property holders have entered into voluntary agreement to exclude Negro residents from property owned or controlled by them, and have brought pressure to bear on neighbors to force them to join in so excluding Negroes. A suit to make impossible this method of abrogating the constitutional right of citizens is now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States. "Frequently the only houses available for colored tenants have been in districts infested with vice or other low moral standards, in spite of the desire of the colored people to provide decent surroundings for their children. Almost always the areas to which they are expected to confine their residence are those least adequately provided with street paving, sewerage and Continued on page Three. Pluko HAIR DRESSING AT DEALERS EVERYWHERE PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Co. MEMPHIS, TENN. HER SECRET IS OUT The beautiful satiny black hair, which always seems so smooth and glossy and has so much to do with the appeal and charm of Miss Valada Snow, now appearing with the "In Bamville" Company, is due to the regular use of Pluko. The delightfully perfumed preparation, which so many thousands of our men and women are now using to make their hair more attractive. When asked about her beautiful hair, Miss Snow said: "No, indeed. I have not always had long, straight hair. I used to have just as much trouble with my hair and scalp as any one of our group; but I don't any more. "I find that by using Pluko Hair Dressing regularly my hair is always long, smooth, straight and easy to dress any way I wish."

BILLIANT WEDDING AT DURHAM, N. C. Ms Amey Parham Becomes The Bride of Mr. Merritt Holloway, Well Known Nor- folk Man. Durham, N. C.-The residence Mr. and Mrs. T. David Parham, this city last week was the place the scene of one of the most nautiful marriages that has come this city at least since those now can remember. When Mr. and Mrs. Parham gave their nighter, Miss Amey, in marriage Mr. Merritt Holloway, a busi- ness man of Norfolk, Va. those who know Miss Parham, Mrs. Holloway, know her as of the race's finest young ladies with a host of friends and admir- ing among all the people who know her, both old and young, men and men. And the fact that she was apparently happy in event of her marriage caused joy to spread to all her friends. the crowd that witnessed the eest was immensely large—there was no room for them within the adrious residence of her brother's and the porch was crowded to its capacity with anxious and equally appy guests who came to see Miss Parham" for the last time. Within twenty minutes from the home the home was crowded, Dr. M.G. Avant, her pastor, had leg- changed the name of this should young lady to that worn title "beloved." A. B. as to the general appearance and dress there was no end. A friend of this reporter gave the following account of the affair: That the little flower girls were little Misses Catherine Nurse and Edith Amy the flower girls were; little Misses Parham dressed in white organdy. The groomsmen were Messrs. Royster, Monroe and Malone, wearing full dress suits. The bride's malds were Miss Lucile Baker, wearing blue satin crepe trimmed in wreaths of pink roses; Mrs. E. S. Parkman, wearing pink silk crepe and Miss Sadie Hawkins, wearing yellow georgette beautifully lace trimmed. The matron of honor was Mrs. S. Holloway, who wore pale green georgette over pink flesh. Maid of honor, Miss Mattie Woodward, was beautifully gowned in orchid Crepe de Chine with silver lace trimming, silver slippers, orchid veil trimmed in orange blossoms. The bride wore white dove skin satin with lace trimming, silk lace veil trimmed in roses. She looked exquisitely beautiful. The bridesmaids carried a bouquet of sweet peas and ferns; tied with tulle to match their dresses and the bride carried a corsage of bridal roses and ferns. Miss Annie Woodward sang, "Oh Promise Me," and wore white satin crepe. None has ever sung this selection more beautifully than she sang it. Miss Minnie Whitted presided at the piano and wore old rose crepe and she was at her best as she accompanied Miss Woodward with "Oh Promis Me," as well as the wedding march. A canopy of rainbow colors decorated with palms and ferns overshadowed them. Master T. David Parham jr., bore the ring and Master Ward S. Parham carried the train. Rev. Avant performed the ceremony in a very impressive manner. Baby Ella Luelle Parham was baptized by Grandfather M. J. Seabrook immediately following the marriage ceremonies.

Last year she was principal of one of our best schools just outside of the present limits of our city.

Legislatures Inadequate "In many cases no adequate housing legislation has been enacted. In other cases existing legislation does not afford colored tenants the protection it gives to others because it is not enforced for their benefit. Efficient enforcement requires an adequate staff for inspection. Inefficient enforcement is sometimes due to lack of and sometimes to unequal distribution of inspection service, and sometimes to failure to enforce the regulations for other reasons. "In addition to difficulties due to prejudice, the economic limitations of the colored citizens still further restrict their choice of dwellings. As a result of these conditions, at a time when there is a shortage of houses the situation of the Negro population, especially in the cities, is most acute. "Negroes have repeatedly explained that the efforts of colored families to move into 'white neighborhoods' are not due to the fact that they wish to associate with the white people as such, but rather to the fact that usually the only decent housing conditions are in such neighborhoods." Attempts of various kinds have been made by individuals and organizations to meet the different situations and to provide adequate housing for the colored people. Important illustrations of some of these efforts are described in the report to answer the questions of those who want to know what has been done, how it has been done, by whom, and what the result has been. In order to increase their knowledge of cathquakes, some of the world's greatest scientists have experimented with artificial explosions in mines, and they hope that in time they will be able to warn the inhabitants of volcanic districts when disturbances are likely to occur. —The Sunday school of the 1st Baptist Church is growing rapidly.

C., World's Champion Baseball Team WAS A BULOVA STRAP When one great man gives another great man a present it is sure to be something that he has the utmost confidence in. WATCH --- FROM THE PRESS BOX They are planning to trot Batley Madden out again for a tilt with the "Hollywood Lothario," Jack Dempsey, one time world's heavyweight fistic champion. Whatcha thinka that? These boxing moguls must be trying to play a joke on somebody. Surely they can't be thinking of anything else. Since when has this Madden fellow become of championship caliber, with the exception of being a champion shock absorber? If such a bout is arranged, it will be one of the rottenest pieces of burlesque ever pulled before a fight crowd. It was said that a bout between Madden and Dempsey would be one of those affairs that are much needed by Mr. William Harrison Dempsey to put him in shape for a mill with either Wills or Tunney. As long as he has been out of the game it will take a little more than Bartley can offer to put him on edge to cope with the giant Stevedore or the Greenwich Village idol. The most startling part about this is, that Dempsey would even deign to consider a flasco of that kind, that is, if the mess can be arranged. Dempsey loves money too well to take on a bunch of second raters. There is very little in a bout with Madden, especially on the West coast, about the only place that such a party could be staged. It has been settled long ago that Mons. Dempsey can't fight in the East, especially New York. He can get more for a single scrap there than he could get out of two or possibly three elsewhere. And even if Dempsey does engage in about with anyone else before he has his pow wow with the Gotham "Commish" in regards to that little matter with Harry Wills. It may be true as Jack Kearns intimated that the "commish" has very little to do with him or Dempsey, but from present indications, it doesn't look very much like it has no say over his clan. He certainly has got himself and his breadwinner in a pretty little dill pickle, and was evidenced during the staging of the Italian Hospital Fund bouts at the Polo Grounds, at which time Kearns was denied admittance to the grounds in all of the capacities he tried to effect his entrance. Once it was GREAT BIG MISTER KEARNS and little tiny commission, but not it's GREAT BIG COMMISSION and little tiny mr. kearns, 'S funny how things like that turn out ain't it—heh! heh! A Nice Little Way Out Probably Dempsey wants to find but doesn't exactly know how to do it will be a very nice little way of that. Retiring wouldn't have any interesting popularity and he most a ignominious defeat at the hands of that he was once, less than one. Probably Dempsey wants to find a way out or in other words quit, but doesn't exactly know how to do it. Chances are, if he fights Wills, it will be a very nice little way out, but don't think he wants to do that. Retiring wouldn't have any tendency to add to his fast depreciating popularity and he most assuredly doesn't want to suffer an ignominious defeat at the hands of a stevedore, in spite of the fact that he was once, less than one. Maloney And Boloney What I had been thinking seems to have been borne out by a release in one of the dailies. By matching Dempsey and Madden, there would be a chance for the former to ease out of the crown and dropping it to the latter by some method of bamboozling the public. Right behind this, a report in the dailies claims that Kearns is or was planning to hand the title to Jim Maloney, a Boston heavyweight, who is said to show some promise in the padded mitt society. The report goes on to say: "After Hayes," who is Kearns trainer, "had first seen Maloney in Boston and explained to him that it might be possible to fix it for Maloney to become champion, Kearns, according to Collier's event to Boston, met Maloney there at the Essex Hotel and outlined a program which called for Maloney to get out of his contract with Johnny McGrath, his boyhood friend and manager and go, at first secretly unders Kearns' management. Kearns, so the story goes, undertook to have Maloney starred in modern pictures as Jack Dempsey's logical successor and later have him challenge Jack Dempsey.

Both men would immediately establish training camps and would go through all the standard motions until the fortnight before the date scheduled for the fight. "Dempsey at this stage would stagger the world with a public statement that he had found that he'd been away from the ring too long to ever again regain his old fighting form—that he realized that in Maloney he was facing the strongest opponent of his entire career, and for that reason he'd decided to cancel the fight, retire as undefeated champion of the world and hand the title to young Jim Maloney with his very best wishes for success.

This paper has received information that the Virginia State Tennis Association will hold its annual tournament sometime during the week beginning August 17. If plans can be successfully worked out the meet will embrace the entire Southeast. That is, all states south of Maryland and east of the Mississippi river will be entitled to send in entries. The contestants will be housed in the dormitories of the Virginia Normal Institute at Petersburg, Va., at very reasonable rates, which will be given upon request. So well pleased were the players with accommodations last year they unanimously voted to return this year. Persons desiring information can get it by writing the Sports Editor of this paper or Mr. A. H. Turner, St. Paul School Lawrenceville, Va. Entries will be received at the office of this paper or by Mr. Turner. The biggest tournament ever is the forecast. Seek To Match Tiger Flowers Molding a newspaper decision over Harry Greb, middleweight champion of the world and recently conqueror of Mick Walker, the wetterweight title holder, is not sufficient to please the sensational Tiger Flowers and his manager, Walk Miller. At least, current reports are to the effect that Miller will place a certified check for $2,500 in the hands of the New York Boxing Commission as a challenge to Greb for a title bout. Flowers is a legitimate middleweight as was proved in the official weights of the Johnny Wilson and Jack Malone matches, when he tipped the beam at 15$ pounds. Yet Tiger Flowers agrees to meet any man of any weight. He has done so for the past two years and has suffered but two defeats—and those at the hands of a light heavyweight, who could never make the middleweight limit and be in fighting condition—namely, Jack Delaney. Miller, Flowers' manager, contends that Flowers has defeated every legitimate middleweight of any note in the world today, that he is the only man who ever knocked out Johnny Wilson, former champion, Tommy Robson and Billy Britton, that he easily won the popular decision over Greb in a no-decision match and is the most outstanding contender at this time. Facts support him in all these contentions. and a way out or in other words quit, it.

C.—In a hard fought game, the Ahoskie Tigers whipped the Franklin All-Stars one of the best independent teams in this section, by a score of 4 to 3. Moore relieved Randolph after Randolph had allowed three runs and didn't allow a visiting player to reach third base. Bowens, Ahoskie catcher, was the batting star with three singles and a home run in four trips to the plate. The Tigers' management announced that they desired to play games with any team with open dates. The manager of the Ahoskie Tigers is Robert Hayes. NEED NEW PLANS TO HANDLE BIG TENNIS ENTRY The entry list of the American Tennis Association's National Championships has grown to such proportions, according to the official circular of the A. T. A. that it has taxed the energy, and ingenuity of the officials to complete the entire tournament in one week. The Association has taken one important step towards curbing the indiscriminate entering of participants, to avoid delay on the last three days, by forbidding the entry of any individual in more than two events. The next step, in the opinion of the Association, will be to divide the championships and award certain events to cities conducting large tournaments. The following list of entries for 1922 will explain the necessity, in the eyes of the A. T. A., of bringing about the above changes: Men's singles, 146 entries; Men's doubles, 63 entries; Ladies' singles, 38 entries; Ladies doubles, 19 entries; Mixed doubles, 40 entries; Junior singles, 12 entries—making a total of 314 entries. All of these were completed in five days in the championships held at Baltimore last summer. The tournament this year will be held on the fine Bordentown Manual Training School's courts at Bordentown, N. J. It is expected that, an equally large number of players will send in their entries this year, and the speed with which the tournament can be run off between August 24 to 29 will determine the method of accepting entries next summer. JACK BEMPSLEE HARRY WILLS COME TUNNEL THE CLOUD THAT MAY COME BETWEEN C FORMER TENNIS CHAMP HITS REAL STRIDE After four weeks of this high altitude, rarefied air and climbing of snow peaked mountains, to say nothing of battling hotel room clerks and headwaiters in order to get what other American citizens received in a most cordial and courteous manner our desire to beat up all the pat ball artists has been greatly accentuated. We have become quite interested in winning the Chicago, New York and National tournaments for 1925 and the way the old balls were flying off the backhand while breezing through the champion of Washington State just before we left Seattle it was quite apparent some of the erstwhile line splitting drives of 1922 and 1923 were again evidencing themselves. At 2,000 miles distance it looks like some love sets for some of my usually formidable appenents back East. Still it may be quite another story playing tennis at 100 degrees in the shade, as I feel like sleeping right now as we have just struck the Sacramento valley on our way to San Francisco and believe me, its a kind of heat that really gets you. But another two weeks of fine weather on Oakland, Los Angeles, Salt Lake and Denver should give us the edge over the tennis sharks back home. Then too we expect to spend a few "five spots" with our old friend Mercer Beasley, the professional who used to be at the Drake Hotel in Chicago and o' boy he really brings the kinks out of your game. I see by the papers that the driving schools' idol the one and only Mr. Tilden has shown beyond a shadow of doubt that his strokes make him the supreme player of all times. Mr. Vincent Richards has stood up manfully under his recent four decisive straight set defences at the nocket of Mr. Tilden. I may be pardoned, for saying I told you so. A volleyer, a pat bull artist, cut and chop may win over a better players' strokes on a poor, soft "rotten" tennis court, but the expert with his will timed scientific drives will win every time on a good surface with plenty of back space. I suggest that the anxious and ambitious remember that the courts in Chicago, at the Prairie Club, at the New York f. and S. Club and at Bordentown are ideally equipped and the real tennis players will have the edge in those three tournaments. Mr. Lulu Ballard has the best chance at Bordentown. Edward Simmons of Dayton, Ohio, Richard Hudlin and Russell Smith of Chicago will be able to heat back the cuts and volleys of the Saitch and Dr. Williams Woolridge and Dr. Williams in the order named. I might say right here that I think it a waste of time and money to have any pat ball artists coming to Chicago or any exhibition place in the West to give exhibition matches. What would be a fair better influence on the game play in the East and by all means forever keep the West's record clear of promoting 1887 tennis. Mrs. Dorothy Radcliffe Ewell with a promising driving stroke and a scientific approach a few years ago has through the influence of the one and only Western chop anomaly the ranking player of Chicago started to choke her racket up in an absolutely unorthodox manner. What happened? She lost last year to Miss Lula Ballard of Germantown, a young inexperienced tournament player but a girl with a modern drive. It is pitiful to see a fine, strong-minded and able bodied young woman fall into the error of pat ball, but such is the insidious and subtle influence of the chop stroke artist who appeals to the mob with his tennis policy, which is the equiv- NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE THESE CLOUD GINE TUN THE CLOUD THAT MAY JOKE I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE TWO HEARTWEIGHT CANDY!

MCGRIFF IS TH Remember though, we will never be tennis players unless we adopt the present recognized scientific game as played by Messrs. Tilden, Richards, Johnston, Borotra, Anderson, Gochet, Alonzo and Patterson; Miss Helen Wills and Mme. Lenglen. In Seattle, Washington they have a splendid tennis organization, a fine club house and two courts, with conveniently lo- cated public courts in envious abundance. All the players unfortunately are old timers with just that style of a game. Seattle is more like Baltimore than one can imagine. What they need is young blood, but the idea is new like the town and the young people are still attending Sunday school for the most part. They are hand-iepped so far as social colored competition is concerned but on the other hand blessed in being able to play with the best of the local talent of the other race, but few seem to have awakened yet to this opportunity. There are only 5,000 colored residents so perhaps we cannot expect too much. THE SAINTS WIN THREE AND TIE ONE OF SERIES THE SAINTS WIN THREE AND TIE ONE OF SERIES Tie And Win In Two Game Series With Portsmouth Elks. Give Drubbing Twice To Eureka Elks. Four recent games played by the well-known Bellville Industrial School "Saints" of Bellville, Va. have resulted in three victories and one tie game. The Portsmouth outf Elks played the "Saints" to a standstill at Bellville, but lost on the 11th by 11 to 1. Two of the worst defeats handed the Eureka Elks, Lodge No. 5, came at the hands of the "Saints" recently, the first to the tune of 23 to 8 and the second game went to the "Saints" 13 to 6. Tie With Portsmouth Tie With Portsmouth In the tie game at Belleville with Portsmouth Elks, Madison of the "Saints", with 10 chances accepted without an error, was the star in the field. The hits made by the Elks outnumbered the "Saints" hits, 15 to 8, but clever fielding saved the game both ways, it ending in a tie. This game was played July 5th. The next game with the Portsmouth team was played and won by the "Saints" on the 11th, 11 to 1. Three Elk pitchers went down under the barrage of hits. First game: R H E R I.

Mitchell, a graduate of Hampden Institute, from a live wire shoot, in the fields of Christiansburg Institute, where he was working last week, provoked wide-spread grief throughout Cape Charles, where the young man was well known. Mr. Mitchell went to Christianburg as an instructor last spring, resigning his position as instructor in Gloucester High School, Cappahoosie, Va. His remarials were interred at Cheriton, the home of his widow, Mrs. Julia Spudy Mitchell. --- OS MEET? ---W COME BETWEEN VERIFY, DODD, THE HEAD- WEIGHT CHAMPION PARENT AND HIS LORDSHIP, THE HEAD- WEIGHT CHAMPION PARENT IT'S A JOBBER BACK DEJONE MCGRIFF IS THE FAVORITE IN CLUB TOURNEY Drawings Made For Club Tournament of Tidewater Tennis Club. Meet To Be Next Week. The first competitive tennis matches of this season will begin next week when the Tidewater Tennis Club holds its second annual club tennis tournament on its court on Golf street. The entry list is restricted in this tournament to the members of the club. Those players in the Tidewater section who have not availed themselves of the opportunity to become members of the club will have a chance for tournament play in the latter part of the summer when the open Tidewater Tennis Tournament held under the auspices of the Journal and Guide in conjunction with the Tidewater Club is held here. Most of the good players here, however, are in the club. This should make the matches of general interest, and the public is invited. McGriff Favored To Win Dr. J. L. McGriff of Portsmouth, former national doubles champion, now eighth ranking player in singles and fourth in doubles with his partner, Dr. Downing of Rounke- singles and doubles champion of Tidewater, and holder of numerous other titles, is favored to win the singles championship of the club tournament, though there is always the chance of an upset. More than one player in this section has demonstrated that he can give the Portsmouth star a close run, but so far this season in practice. Dr. McGriff has shown a winning stride. Landy Taylor, finalist with Dr. McGriff in the singles finals of the Tidewater tournament last year, is among those conceded a good chance to reach the finals and perhaps stage an upset. The entire personnel of the club has undergone a marked improvement in its style of play. It is, therefore, uncertain business in making any sort of forecast. This uncertainty should add quite a lot of interest for the club and general public, which has been invited.

Senator Walker is the father of the boxing law, as aforesaid and is a staunch supporter of the sport, believing in a square deal to everybody who participates in the game, regardless of color. Senator Walker said that he would not lend his name to the present boxing measure for one moment, if there were any distinction as to race, creed or color. It seems that the Senator has been ired about the things that have been said in connection with the muddled boxing situation. It is believed that all of the ballyhooing is only the silly reformers who have little else to do. According to the news, Senator Jimmy Walker is quoted as having said: "Why not a Dempsey and Wills match? If I thought that there were any racial distinction or prejudices cutting in on the boxing game I would ask that the bill be passed. I have been my stand ever since the inception of the law that bears my name. "I don't think that any law, enacted by the sovereign power of the state—the legislature—can be repealed by the mere prejudices of any fanatics or professional reformers. The vast majority of the people of this State are manifestly for fair play and have no sympathy for the charlatan who makes a living for being against something. "I don't know what the boxing commission is going to do about Dempsey and his challengers, but I do know that the commission is made up of as fine a set of men as could be found in the State. They have administered the law to the satisfaction of every one. Messrs. Farley, Brower, Muldoon and others that make up the board were picked by Gov. McCormack was happy to recommend them be, I were men of intelligence and courage. They are left entirely free, without suggestion from any source that I know of. That is the only way to keep boxing on the high plane it enjoys today. "I personally believe that Kearns and Dempsey ought to fish or cut bait. In other words, Dempsey ought to fight or retire. I have a high personal regard for Dempsey, but I have a higher regard for the boxing fans who support the game. They are entitled to know whether or not we have an active champion of the world. "There has never been any political opposition to a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills that I know of and I would have heard something about it. It is mere projection on the part of some folks who think that principal leaders are afraid of a match because one of the principals happens to be a colored man. I wouldn't hesitate to expose such a situation if it prevailed." Senator Walker is rather firm in his stand and convictions. If there were occasion for trouble in case Wills and Dempsey battled he is, most assuredly one of the persons to know it. It seems that some body such as the little little such between a colored and white man, especially Wills and Dempsey, for fear that the title might change hands. Hubbard To BeIn Exhibition Meet Restaurant Name Service (President News Service) Indiana is July 17—With no little elation, the local grand lodge entertainment committee of the Knights of Pythias, Indiana jurisdiction, has announced the acceptance of behalf of the grand lodge of the Knights Marvel, to appear at their Annual Gala field meet, in this city on July 29th.

He has appeared in every athletic event of the country in the past year, among colleges, and to have him appear in local event is considered no little honor and triumph for Hoosierdom in general and the Knights of Pythias, Indiana jurisdiction, in particular.

Auto Race Fans Looking Toward Indianapolis, Ind. [Provision News Service.] Indianapolis,印洛, July 15—Auto racing fans the country over have turned their eyes towards the big Capitol. "Speed" of America as they make their plans to meet old friends and renew acquaintances at the running of the second annual re-newal of the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes, America's premier 100 mile dirt track championship auto racing classic, to be held here Saturday, August 8th, in which all competing drivers are members of the group. The smaller races staged throughout the country this spring and summer have merely served to whet the appetites of the dyed-in-wool fans for the real display of speed thrills that are out of reach of those who have dwells of the group face the starter's flag at the State Fair Grounds here, with the roar of thousands of speed crazed rining in their ears. Fraternal Visitors To Witness Event The big race this year was moved back a week by the management in order that the hundreds of delegates and visiting friends of the A. U. X. and D. A. one of the largest universities in America, may have the opportunity to witness the running of the big event. Inquiries Pouring In Interest in the big affair is doubled this year, directors of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway say, basing their statement on the numbers of inquiries regarding the race which have been arriving daily at the office. 101% Michigan St., Indianapolis, has been a story of the race plans a week ago. They further base their faith in the permanence of the race as an annual institution on the great amount of activity among auto builders and drivers throughout the Middle West. Ready a local young man of the group has completed and is in readiness to try out his car, built especially for this race, while another resident of the eastern section of the city will be ready for the first tryout in a few days. Thompson Beats Champ Holmes Finalists in Last National Tournament Again Battle In Finals of Washington District Championships. Washington, D. C.—Youth was served here in the recent Washington district championships held on the Walker Tennis Club courts. The youthful college star and second ranking player, finalist in the last national tournament and member of the national doubles championship team, Ted Thompson, conquered the present champ, Tally Holmes, in a fast four set match, 5-7, 6-4, 8-6, 6-2. The victory makes Thompson champion of the Washington district. Holmes had just defeated Allan Waddle,ridge ranking player in the present-finals, and the strenuousness of the game had its effect upon him, Ted winning three straight sets after dropping the first, set 5-7. Bordentown Stars Here Several tennis stars of Bordentown, N. J., headed by Lester Granger, came to Washington, Sunday, July 12, to play a special engagement with the stars of the Walker Tennis Club.

They were beaten Monday at the Norfolk and Western R. R. Park in Lambert's Point by a score of 6 to 2. A large crowd of fans witnessed the affair. Palmer was in tip top shape, and his mound duty for the Elks was very acceptable. His ability kept the hits well scattered for Lambert's Point Slides.

Scoring 35 strikeouts in a single afternoon is just one of the feats credited to "Smoky" Joe Williams, regular member of the famous Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh. Besides this Williams' blinding speed and his general effectiveness have earned for him recognition as one of the greatest, if not the greatest pitcher to toe the rubber on a baseball diamond. In that afternoon when "Smoky" Joe Williams scored 15 strikeouts he started the first game, winning by a comfortable margin and registering 18 strikeouts. Then he was called upon as a player the second of the next game he shifted 17 more for his grand total of 35. These and other facts are called from Williams later history on the diamond, according to a writer in the Pittsburgh American, who gives his early history as well.

In loving memory of dearly beloved husband and father, Allen Morris, the husband of Mattie Morris, of Norfolk, Va., who departed this life June 17, 1924.

Miss Sadye Margaret Spencer who died July 5th, 1925, was a native of Norfolk, attended the public schools, finishing from the S. C. Armstrong School in June 1915, with honorable mention. She then entered the Dunbar High School. Washington, D. C., finishing from that institution in June 1919, winning the reputation of being an excellent student. Having a desire for higher training she matriculated at Howard University. College of Arts and Sciences. Owing to illness she was compelled to return home to recuperate. She was employed as an instructor in the English Department of the Junior High School of Norfolk filling this important post with credit. It was while serving in this capacity that Miss Spencer's labors were terminated. She her mother suffering with patience, neverce complaining and the end came peacefully in the hospital, surrounded by the members of her family. She was a young woman of unusual brilliance and greatly beloved by a large circle for friends.

Plans for the Sunday School parade; report on progress of Sunday School contest; plans for bi-monthly meeting and such other business that may come before the body will be enacted.

Zion Acquires Splendid Addition In This New Building Tuesday, June 30, Garrett's C. M. E. Temple formally became Garrett's A. M. E. Zion Temple, having passed through a change of denominational affiliations. With to ironing out of a few legal phases in connection with the transfer which will be accomplished soon, this fine church edifice becomes the property of the Zion denomination which is steadily increasing its holdings, extending its denominational lines and project its evangelization program into every section of the country. The acquisition of Garrett's Temple is regarded as a very substantial addition for Zion. This is a splendid church building and is practically new and occupying a valuable site. It was founded and built in 1920 by its present pastor, Dr. R. K. D. Garrett, who, too, becomes an A. M. E. Zion minister. The edifice and grounds represented a total cost of $55,000 when built, and has a membership of 250. Dr. Garrett and his congregation have been vital factors in the religious life of this city. The church enjoys prominence and the pastor a wide acquaintance of friends and admirers. His fiery and profound sermons have been heard by thousands of people of Norfolk and adjacent communities. Garrett's Temple is now in the District over which Bishop G. L. Blackwell of Philadelphia, and Presiding Elder W. M. Lyons, preside. Miss Lucille Bumperus, of 963 Barney street, is recuperating from an operation she underwent in the Tidewater Hospital and is expecting to be home soon. SICK NOTICE.

THE HOSPITAL OF THE UNION PART TWO AGES 7 TO 12 Atlanta Independent Scathing Den Contempor Ben Davis' Praise Of Vice To Buy Memoirs Comment From Brot Issue With His Editor Atlanta Independent Draws Scathing Denunciation Of Contemporary Journals Ben Davis' Praise Of Southern Courts, Advice To Buy Memorial Coins Arouse Strong Comment From Brother Editors Who Take Issue With His Editorial Utterances. Scatting criticism has been directed at Benjamin Jefferson Davis, known generally as "Ben" Davis, for two recent editorials in the New York Independent, a weekly. In these editorials Mr. Davis first urged the purchase of the half dollar coins being sold to aid in the construction of the Stone Mountain memorial to Southern heroes in the Civil War. Later, in the second editorial of the duct which has resulted in searing denunciation of the Atlanta editor, Mr. Davis declared that he possessed "abiding faith in the courts of our State" (meaning Georgia and that he be "fearful and our jurors, as a rule, are honorable men, not measuring out justice according to race or color, but according to principles of right and justice." Referring to My, Davis' belief that the courts of Georgia are fair and just the Chicago Defender questions: "You are wondering how a black man in Georgia with shoe prints on his neck could utter such?" Continuing the Defender says: "Don't overlook what Ben Davis editor of the Atlanta Independent, said last week when a Fulton county grand jury returned a "no bill" in the liberal suit of Clark Grier, white politician, against the journalist. "No bill" means the case has not merit and is not worth considering. Or Ben is thankful that he was in the first round. This is history in Georgia. "Ben felt perfectly safe if you didn't. This is what he said afterwards: "We have abiding faith in the courts of our State (meaning Georgia) and never believe Grier would be able to convert purposes to his selfish purposes. Our courts are fair, and our jurors, as a rule, are honorable men, not measuring out justice according to race or color, but according to principles of right and justice." "You are wondering how a black man in Georgia with shoeprints on his neck could "Our courts are fair." Read that over carefully and then this: 'Not measuring out justice according to race or color.' You'll say Ben is talking out of his head here, not from his heart. Bear with him, he needs your sympathy. All men do who strangle with faith against olds. This writer is from Georgia—knows it from Chatham to Ful- "Take Ben down to Covington, that's around Fulton, and ask him what the honorable jurors did to John Williams, notorious murder farm owner, who killed 12 of your people. Put Ben in Williams' place before the honorable jurors, who mete out punishment 'according to principles of right and justice,' then write the word "white behind his victims and see if he would be keeping bedside and overseeing prison at Milledgeville, where Williams now resides in comfort and goes on occasional visits. If Mr. Davis rubs out 'not measuring out' and puts it 'justice according to race and color,' you'll agree with him. "The editor went astray and put you low when he said this: ' * * * * And that a white man is out of his place when he socializes with Negroes." You take this to mean that Atlanta University, pride of Ben's home town, is a grave error and should be put out of business. Fisk has not to exist and Lincoln and Hampton should be burned down. White men socialize with Negroes there, don't they? the Pity you wenditors who have to talk wtf the double meaning." is. be time. Public Ivor. Agrees The Pity Boykin.

Defender Answers Back Norfolk Journal and Guide idea of so-called "social equality." Editorinly, the Public Journal questions the policy of Ben Davis and refers to the recent demand by Charles Edward Russell for absolute social equality. It says: "We have often wondered why some of our newspaper and magazine editors invariably pass unnoticed the old-time preachments of Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent. We have come to the conclusion that they have been satisfied with the clean cut dressing down administered to this old man by Joe Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, some months ago and so they have doubtless to be taken along decided in commission of his senile but crafty decrepitude. "He says 'we believe thoroughly in the Southern idea of every race staying in its place social,'" "The white people among whom old Ben lives have succeeded in convincing this old war relic that his race has its place and an inferior one at that; there did old Ben learn that all have a certain and fixed place in the human scale." Whip Calls Him "Fool and Liar" Perhaps the most critical editorial was published in the Chicago Whip, of which Joseph D. Bibb is editor. Among other things the Whip believes Mr. Davis a "fool" for his criticism of the party's tertier and plainly states its convictions about the Atlanta editor when it says: "This Benjamin Jefferson on Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, solicits and insists that his readers, black people, rally around the movement on foot to immortalize the heroic life of Henry Adams. He administers and advises his readers to pay one dollar for fifty-cent pieces that have been issued by Congress to aid in percuturing the memories of Jeff Davis, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. The Southerners are cutting forms and figures in the side of wonderful Stonewall Jackson, the formation of those who fought to keep us crushed may last as long as Stone Mountain itself stays on the face of the earth. "It is hard to conceive of a black man of the South acquainted with its iniquities and accustomed to its harbartices, having the ternity to so insult a whole race of people. It is hard to conceive a black man of the South, his ternial, his patriotism so perverted and his ideals so depraved that he can grovel, lick spithe and then look into the face of his fellow man. Such a man as Benjamin Davis is a disgrace to his race and a traitor to his own cause. This crawling man, justifiably positioned by stating that the 'South did not fight to keep us in slavery, but rather to test the right of a state to secede.' Davis is either a fool or a liar, and we believe him to be both."

This is in conformity with the recommendation of the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, in which 24 leading universities hold membership.

New Yorkers, who supported the Republican National ticket last fall, have stopped mumbling and gone to grumbling because, as another put it; "The President may be all right in principle and policy, but to keep this going, we've got to have some real jobs." Colored Democrats are tensing the colored Republicans, and are saying "If the Republican party had a few real men like Gov. Mayor Hylan is a candidate to succeed himself, for third term. This seldom happens in New York. Gov. Smith is opposed to Mayor Hylan, and is on the job, bag and baggage, to tell all about it.

Mayor Is Popular Mayor Hyllan has made himself personally popular by mixing in personally with racial Harlem on all big occasions, and defending the liberties of Americans by word and deed. By the same token, Gov. Al Smith has handled the State, and is equally popular. He has not determined how this division will be made in "following the leader." "On the Other Hand, the Republican Party" On the other hand, the Republican party has played more with sentiment and indifference than it has with practical politics. Its organization, like the organization in national politics, has been loose knit. There has been very little done in a tangible way to which the politicians may "point with pride." The leaders have held themselves aloof, except those and there personal, Take the Wine, worth, who, by the way, is thick in the Republican turn for mayor, a fine citizen of noble family, and wealthy; but his silk stockings know very little about the masses of Harlem. True, he backed Charles W. Anderson, for Collector of Internal Revenue, but that is individual. He did not go "wild" about the anti-lynch h e i g h bill, nor any other specific measure in which the citizens are the Senator is a "tower of strength" in the Senate, but he is practically a stranger in Harlem. But, the Republican party, headed by President Coolidge and Senator Butler, of Massachusetts, needs Wadsworth in the Senate. All the influence of the administration and the national organization will be thrown behind him for retaining the seat. The mayorality of New York is the first battle; with Gov. Al Smith a candidate for Senator opposite Senator Wadsworth, there will be fur flying in New York next year, and a good portion of it will be in Harlem. Republicans on the Defensive The New York correspondent believes the Republicans of New York are on the defensive. All the feeling has not been cured following the nomination for Congress of Dr. Roberts, who was later slaughtered by a union of white Republicans with the Democrats. "We knew they intended to do it; but we gave them their chance; now we have ours," is the way one Read the Ads in this Paper and save yourself money by trading at home citizen stated it to the Associated Negro Press. New Yorkers, who supported the Republican National ticket last fall, have stopped mumbling and gone to grumbling, because, as another put it; "The President may be all right in principle and policy, but to keep this going, we've got to have real jobs." Do we have that t a r s are t ousing the colored Republicans, and are saying "If the Republican party had a few real men like Gov. Smith and Mayor Hylan, then you would have a chance." Many Conferences There have been meetings and meetings, conferences and conferences. There have been efforts to make a separate organization, and there have been bitter protests from both white and black Republicans. Colored leaders have rent the air with protestors and beaten by black game players by Republicans in the New York—meaning of course, with age old sentiment about the "record of the Grand Old Party," few jobs IN THIS SECTION City News-Virginia and North Carolina Features and Editorials. We Must Work Together EVERY thoughtful citizen of this community is interested in its development and progress. There's no question about that! We all want our children to enjoy better homes, better schools, better parks—more agreeable surroundings and greater comforts. We all want our town to keep step with its neighbors, to take the lead in civic affairs. So there is only one sound plan for us to follow: We must work together to increase the wealth of this community by doing everything we can to encourage local business. When you and your family patronize our advertisers—the stores and banks of our town—and keep your money in circulation right here at home, there is no power on earth that can prevent our progress. Heads University Inter-Racial Group (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago—B. E. Mays of Bates College and Chicago university, was elected president of the Inter-racial Discussion Group at the University of Chicago this week. All the other officers and a majority of the members are white. Mr. Mays was formerly a teacher at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. The purpose of the organizations was to hold meetings at regular intervals and discuss questions of interracial character. July 3rd the group was addressed by Dean William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. and very little cash for the practical side of the game. It's having its effect. White leaders are scampering up to the summer White House in Massachusetts, and also to certain positions in Boston, where the Republican National Chairman holds forth William Clarence Matthews, of Boston, dear old Boston, is pounding the air with his brawny arm and chubby fist, and calling for action. His desk has been spattered with letters and telegrams asking "When in the—— business going to pick up Matthews has learned the words of a song and by night; "Don't Blame It All On Me." And it seems as is right. Matthews is made the goat, but what is needed is for some one to find the Bull and take him by the horns—that goes for all, as well as, New York. PLEADS FOR DOCTOR TO SAVE LIFE OF WOUNDED MAN Victim Dies Without Regaining Consciousness; Authorities Confronted With Problem of Cause of Death If pleading for the doctors to save his life and promising to pay all expenses could have saved the life of Charlie Hudson, of Elizabeth City, N. C. he would have been living today. Rosa Hicks, a young woman, who accompanied his blood soaked body to the hospital in that city on the night of July 13, made the plea and the promise. Both were in vain, because Hudson died, and the authorities of Pasquotank and Camden counties are confronted with the problem of determining whether he was the victim of an automobile accident or of a deft and desperate wielder of a knife. Rosa said he was an accident victim, the doctors who suspected him are of the opinion that Hudson could not have sustained so many cuts in any sort of automobile smasu-p. The man died without regaining consciousness. The authorities believe he was one of the participants in a fight in which 'cawn' liquor played a prominent part.

FORMER KINSTON BOY DIRECTS BIG MUSICAL GROUP Tim Brynn, Internationally Known Orchestra Leader Is a Native Of North Carolina Failed to Boost Home-Town It is doubtful a mere handful of the many thousands of Americans who sang the popular hit of former years, "Josephine, My Joe," "Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep" know that their composer, famous road musician, Tim Brynn, is a native of the Tar Meel State and of the bustling little town of Kinston. "Tim" is at present conducting the largest race musical organization in the world, says late reports to his old home town acquaintances. Years ago he shook from his heels North Carolina dirt and armed with a ministrel band smattering of music went out into the world to make his mark. To make his mark, however, he found it necessary, years later, to conclude his musical education in Berlin. "Tim" has made it. Some years ago he attempted to immortalize the town of Kinston, his birthplace, in song and wrote The Best Town in the World. This composition failed to take as well as most of his previous efforts and Kinston failed to make the place in the hearts of Americans that "Tim" planned that it should make. Brynn directed the orchestra of one of the largest musical shows in London for a season on two and wrote his Kinston folks that the proudest moment of his life was when he alighted from the boat train at London to hear the band playing one of his songs.

QUEENS OF ORIENT CLOSE THEIR 2ND ANNUAL SESSION Meeting Characterized by Harmony, Loyalty And Great Zeal To Uphold The Order: Large Attendance. By VIOLA McMILLIAN Alaskie, N. C.—The second annual Grand Setting, the Grand United Order of Queens of the Grit. was held here from June 21-24, with a large delegation in attendance. Throughout the entire setting the work was carried on with harmony and interest, and all present received much valuable information regarding the order and its work. Truly this is a great work, and too much cannot be said in praise of its Organizer on the Grand President, N. C., for his foresight and progressive spirit in putting over such a wonderful project. The Order fills a long felt want in the eastern part of the State, in that it purposes to help; and protect the women and children of our race in sickness, and thru its endowment department, console the remaining members of their families at the coming of death. Its lessons of truth and loyalty serve as a great source of strength in their lives and will be to those that learn them, constant reminders of the good they may ever do. With a loyal group assisting officers, nurses, Bill carrying for him, that bids fair to equal in number and popularity any work of its kind in any state. Its numbers have already doubled themselves and with the work of the present forces, will reach enormous proportions in the near future. The Endowment Department, under the efficient guidance of Mrs. Sarah L. H. Reynolds, is in a thriving, prosperous condition. The records are being well and plainly kept and have passed inspection, coming out one hundred per cent perfect. In the extreme western part of the State the work is under the direction of Mrs. Cora L. Wilson, of Gastonia, who is a wide awake worker and who gives promise of filling up the ranks from that section. The Setting was most gracefully presided over by Mrs. Fannie E. Badham of Edenton, N. C., widely known throughout the State as a forward looking progressive woman. Under her direction the Setting was carried on expeditiously and smoothly; all business being finished in record time. The Grand Setting was closed with grand arches led by the Grand President every member appearing in the uniform of the Order. The spectacle was most impressive and beautiful. The next Grand Setting will be held in Windsor, N. C., June of 1920. Let all workers put forth their fort to make it a record breaker. Tells Of Special Ways Of Cleaning Precious Stones Years ago it was commonly supposed that all one needed to do to clean jewelry and add lustre to precious stones was to bathe them in honey. Today each gem has a special method of cleaning and adding lustre, a writer in the Boston Christian Science Monitor: Diamonds which are dirty or faded are washed in warm soapy water for a minute, then laying them in a channel they are rubbed with good dee-de-Cologne and wined thoroughly. Turquoise are never washed in water; they are rubbed for a minute or two with a soft rug to which methylated spirit has been applied. This stone often changes color. If one of them turns from a beautiful blue to sea-green, the method is to skin' and repolish it. Water is seldom used for cleaning pearls. If methylated spirit is not at hand, they are gently rubbed with a little whiting on a cannel's hair, brush and polished finally with a chamois leather. The act that opais will crack water in the act, much heat calls for the utmost care in cleaning them. There are several preparations specially made for cleansing these gems, and the work can seldom be undertaken at home with any degree of safety. Jet is cleaned by using the merest trifle of olive oil on a soft cloth. The oil is first thinned by warming it and is allowed to go almost cold before application. Plain Jewelry is washed in a scapy lather of lukewarm water. After drying, a few rubs with a chamois leather produces the desired lustre. In cleaning gems a bright dry day is always chosen. This is beak-dormant and foggy weather makes all gems appear at their worst, and one cannot readily see the defects sufficiently to correct them. Cleaning may reveal defects which require treatment by a specialist. No amount of cleaning will restore pearls which have lost their vitality or which have become black with age. Rubies also demand expert attention. Providing the deterioration is checked in time, lustre may be restored by message. Sapphires frequently deteriorate but they regain their former vitality after numerous baths of chemicals and sunshine.

Virginia needs another Normal school for the training of Colored girls, the present State Normal school is much overcrowded, thinks William D. Gresham, State supervisor of Negro schools, who is asked as having made this asia-in a recent address in Ogallah Hampton Institute. Dr. Gresham said the colored people paid off the debt on Manusah State, and it is hoped that State will take over the institution and make it a State Normal School to help train some of 300 colored teachers who are for Virginia schools. At present there are 31 county trainings for Negroes in Virginia 300 colored supervising teach- Virginia Behind Maryland Bryan is quite a deal behind in recognizing the potential of rural schools.

The average has been increased, and the fields are annually well worked and are generally free from grass. The stand, however, is only 85 to 90 per cent perfect because of an favorable weather at planting. The peanut acreage is estimated to be 135,000 acres which is an increase of 18 per cent above the area harvested in 1924. The reason given for the larger acreage this year are favorable prices for last year's crop, excellent weather last spring for plowing, and decrease in cotton. Last year many fields were never-planted. Bears of wet weather, so the hainu nuts were less than usual. The span type of peanut is reported to be slightly less than last year, and the counties of Dinwiddie Greenville, and Prince George, which produce the greater part of this variety, have either reduced the total acreage or planted more of Virginia types. The condition of peanuts on July 1 was 85 per cent of normal, compared with 71 per cent last year. This condition indicates a production of 109,012,000 pounds, compared with 74,100,000 pounds produced last year. The season has been favorable for the growth of this crop, as rains have generally come when needed but not too frequently to interfere with cultivation.

FARMERS TOLD TO OWN LAND AND ROTATE THEIR CROPS Garden Cultivation, Home Industries Ad Improvement of Rural Life Objects Outlined For Better Farming. When the agricultural workers representing some 22,000 Negro farm families in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland met in the annual Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference recently they received inspiration and information of a practical value which doubtlessly be reflected in still greatly important investments on the farms in those states. Speakers of national reputations addressed the gathering including, Dr. James Hardy Dillard, President of the Jeanes and Slater Boards; W. P. Moore, assistant State Director, Extension service from Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Miss Edith Allen, specialist in Agriculture Education, United States Department of Agriculture; Gordon A. Elean, assistant State Club Agent, Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Mrs. M. M. Davis, State Agent, Cooperative Extension Work in Home Economics; Jessie Hoover, specialist in milk utilization; Miss Olivia Well, Field Agent, Southern Division of Extension Work, United States Department of Agriculture and a number of Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland State agents and educators. This group of representative agriculturists were told by Dr. Dillard that every man who tills the soil ought to own the soil he tills. "The finest and most independent human being," he said, "is the small farmer who tills his own acres." Dr. J. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said: "To the farmer should stand for something different from the business man. He should never sink his service into the mere ambition to make money. He should belong to the profession of service. He should be ready to produce, not for mere personal gain, but to fulfill low-men's institution was designed for the ideal of unselfish farmers. Farmers, teachers, and ministers are fellow-workers for humanity." Mrs. M. M. Davis, in her address on "Self-support through Home-demonstration Work in Virginia," discussed the case of one woman who in a single year had had to walk 221 miles for a manger water supply and during that time had to walk 4,750 pounds of water. When these facts were brought to the attention of her husband he put in a home water-supply system at a cost of $30. Mrs. Davis also made a vigorous appeal for the introduction through the country districts of a good milk supply in order that the manger supply of adulthood food. Mrs. Davis also made a plea for the cultivations of year-round gardens. Talks On Home Industries Miss Powell outlined what is being done in the Southern states to establish home industries. She showed the products of rural women and girls who have learned to standardize the canning of fruits to meet the commercial demands. These home products include those which come from the family cow, the garden, the orchard, and the poultry yard. She showed what is being done by women and girls who have learned to convert white honeycuckle basket and standard sweet-pet basket, and pine needles into attractive candy bushes. She also exhibited articles which had been made from so-called ulexes bides on the farm. These articles included attractive hats, gloves and gloves. Gordon A.

It is to be made known that the fourteen days before the estimated date of release of the State Department of Public Health may "take very measures to protect others from such infection."

Public Health Service, that provision should be made for the medical examination, care and treatment of venereally afflicted inmates of state institutions, and that a show animation, and treatment are provided. The Maine a mendment, requiring the report of infectious cases before their release, is a significant venereal disease control measure. PLYMOUTH Plymouth, N. C.—Rev. R. H.

HUNDREDS APPLY TO SING LEADING ROLE IN "AIDA" Noted Grand Opera Singer Gives Opportunity To Negro Soprano To Appear In Grand Opera In New York. An opportunity, heretofore unparalleled, has been offered the Negra race to break into grand opera, according to an announcement carried in recent issues of New York papers, in which it is stated that Edwardo Ferrari-Fontana, who won fame overnight in the Metropolitan Opera House when he sang in the opera "L Amore die tre re," is looking for a Negro soprana to train to sing the leading role in the opera "Aida," through the Amsterdam News. Hundreds of enthusiastic students have sent in their application. Some applicants have written letters, expressing their appreciation of the opportunity. Mr. Fontana was born in Rome in 1878. His uncle was Ettore, the sculptor, and his father, a noted physician. After going thru the lower school, the gymnas and the lycee, Fontana attended the University of Rome and took up the medical course, intending to go to the University of Paris. He went there for three years and then spent another year in the Hospital of San Giancione, where his father was connected. An Artist By Chance After a most thrilling account of adventures in South America, comes the tale of how he came to sing in America. St was almost an accident. Mr. Ferrari-Pontanak was a famous States for the purpose of visiting his wife, Mme. Margarete Matzenauer, a contralto of the Metropolitan Opera Company. During his two years' service at the consultate in Montevideo, he had begun to take singing seriously, cultivating his voice and singing at private parties as an amateur. He had made his first public appearance before an audience in Rio Janeiro in 1901, where he was greatly praised. But when he came to New York, he found such thing in his mind as singing in New York. He just happened to be available when Mr. Russell was scouring the country for a tenor to sing in "Tristan." To be brief, the career of Ferrari-Fontana reads somewhat like this—He made his debut at the Tecno Regio of Turin in the year 1900 with "Tristano." He sang later on the best stages of Italy, and in 1903 he two at the Dal Verna of Milano, three at the Regio of Turin, two at the San Carlo of Naples, two at the commune of Bologna. Leaving Italy for America, he sang two seasons, in Buenos Aires; two at Boston, two at Chicago and two at New York. In the first four years of his career he gave about eighty recitals of "Tristano" and seventy of "Tambucco." He gave many first interruptions of new operas such as "Giulia" by the Golden Gate at the Bologna, "Laura," by Zanella at Bologna, and "L'Amore due te re" at La Seala. Mrs. Alice P. Read, a wealthy colored woman with extensive realty holdings in New York City, has volunteered incidental funds necessary to take advantage of the re-employment benefits she will be tried but separately by competent voice culturers before being passed on to Mr. Fontana for his final decision. Preliminary try-outs have begun in the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library. If Mr. Fontana finalizes his application in getting it in the metropolitan Opera House, it will be the first time a Negro has ever been heard there. South and Close Connect HowardStudy FacultySha Dismissed Instructor of Idea," In Dropping tent; And Alleges G Case; Appeals To Th Close Connection Between HowardStudent Revolt And Faculty Shake-Up Alleged Dismissed Instructor Charges "Economy Idea," In Dropping Professors Inconsistent; And Alleges Gross Unfairness In His Case; Appeals To The Public. Orlando Cecil Thornton, former instructor in finance and business organization, School of Commerce, Howard University, who, along with a number of other professors, was dropped from the teaching program the recent shake-up at Howard University, has issued to the press a detailed statement calling attention to alleged unfairness of his dismissal. He also charges that the summary severance of his connection with the school was contrary to Government policy regarding employment of ex-service men, Mr. Thornton served with the 351st Field Artillery overseas), and declares that he was an expected official by the ad valentive officials for extricating themselves from a delicate situation precipitated by their own blundering. Mr. Thornton's statement bolsters the opinion held by a large section of the public that the recent Howard shake-up had a close connection with the student revolt which preceded it by only a few weeks than administrative officials of the University have showed inclination to admit. Immune to co-operation among all classes of co-operation between the faculty and president and domineering by the latter. Efficiency and Economy Boo-hooed The dismissed instructor virtually explodes the assertion made by the board of trustees in a lengthy statement following the shake-up in which they claimed the re-organization was based on greater efficiency and the promotion of economy, following recommendations made by a Columbia University expert, who conducted an exhaustive survey of Howard. He calls attention to the salary increases of deans which, he says, entirely offset the salary increases that might have resulted from his dismissal. Mr. Thornton says: "I have been teaching accountancy and allied subjects at the Howard University for a period of five (5) years, my subjects being along the line of my special preparation. I have done such work as to elicit enthusiastic and favorable comment each year from both faculty members and student-body alike. And now I am notified that I am to be unceremoniously dropped from my position allegedly because I desire to become a faculty member, as seem to think that the reason advanced is merely a subterfuge which cannot be supported by the facts in any way whatsoever, one notable instance to refute the alleged reason being that my salary from 1920 to this year remained at $1500 per annum, and was accidentally increased by $50 this year as a result of the insti tence of the com bined faculty, for a long time, for some consideration in this regard, until this week the salaries of some professors have been considerably increased to say nothing of the increase from $1000 to $3500 in each of the cases of 6 or 7 deans, the fallacy in the reason (economy) given will at once be appreciated. One professor, as example, received an increase of $400, so I am reliably informed, because of his/her clever disposition, etc. But I am casting no reflection upon the individual; I merely want to show the inconsistency of the matter, for drawing me, except that, perhaps, it is desired to increase salaries to bear by influential members of the faculty, and, ostensibly, the only way to increase certain salaries is to "let somebody out." Meeting of Trustees Referring to the meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 2nd, when the re-organization program was mapped out, Mr. Thornton says it was a "memorable meeting". Some of the trustees who were said not to be going along with the additional deadlock, failed of the decision he instigated. In the motions, which had been passed by the board to the detriment of certain faculty members leaked out before being officially confirmed, he charges, and names the following members of the faculty as having involved: "Dean Kelly Miller, it was reported, lost his Deanship of the Junior College on the grounds that the Junior College Work overlapped that of the School of Liberal Arts; lost his Professorship of Sociology, and was to be placed by office of the President to raise endowment. His Professorship is said to have been of the one who had been his subordinate. "Dean George William Cook, for fifty (50) years intimately connected with the academic and of official life of the University, it was further reported, lost his Deanship, that being based on the recent action of the Trustees to receive teachers at the age of 62 years, his work in the School of Cumerlee and Finance, merged with that of the College of Liberal Arts, as result of a so-called survey of an educational expert from Columbia University. "These' two men, particularly have never entered into the good graces of the present-administra rition, it seems. These were 'tole songs'. Then there were "Prof. Alain Leroy Locke, probably the best prepared teacher along his line in the University from the standpoint of his graduate and undergraduate work. A. B. and Ph. D., from Harvard University, Litt. B., from Oxford England, the only Negro Rhodes scholar. "Prof. Alonze H. Brown, teacher of mathematics, and Assistant Professor Leroy Lockard, teacher of African languages. Plans Leaked Out Plans Leaked Out "Now let me emphasize that these Last Three men, it was really and understood, were dropped for having had too much sympathy with the students; they were not student students. The information, although denied, is appealing nevertheless. "Now, you see the plans seem to have leaked out' prematurely; the teachers involved—at least some of them I definitely know, put their wits to work, and the influential ones were able to bring sufficient puerasure to bear to cause a denial of the purported action of the Trustees. The counted aroused, the president clamped, and the admin said to be not the representative group, though it is hard to believe) demanded the resignation of Dr. Durkice as president of the University, and the restoration of the men slated to go. Well, here is what happened after all, and which is said to be the official action, the only action contemplated. (The fallacy of the denials is pretty general, the矣es 15th, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees issued a statement which in substance is this: "Denn George W. Cooke, made Dean Ementus with a salary increase from $310 to $3500, given one year's notice of his retirement. 'Dean Kelly Miller retained his Professorship in Sociology, but lost the Deanship of the Junior College on the grounds of its abolition. This salary was increased from $310 to $3500. It is generally believed this is a punishment of his role to vaccinate. 'Professors Locke, Brown, Lochal and (as a substitute) Thorn, were dragged from the University on the purported grounds of Economy. "Now Thornton's name caused distinct surprise to everybody, as he had not entered into any quarrels his work was considered efficient, he had strenuously supported the faculty and the administration during the recent strike, and his work was a prime essential in the education of the students with no teacher at the University being prepared to take over his work, and one refusing to try it. Referring to himself, Mr. Thornton says: "I dislike very, very seriously!being "I should treat at a time when there is expressed hereabout some doubt of the loyalty of a few teachers to the administration. While I am definitely made to understand that my case is a 'clean one'; that there is no imputation of disloyalty, certainly the public will not understand, and I would naturally be classed as a malcontent, and I would be treated with disgust when the 'shake-up' at Howard is due, in a large measure, to so-called administration enemies. I fear that I shall be unable to bear up under the disgrace of that! "It seems clear, therefore, that I was not among those who were stated to go AT FIRST; they were composed of the so-called administration enemies. But they, in several instances, were fortunate enough to be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear, with the result that the plans to be rid of them placed, at least for the time being. "My career will be ruined, I fear, if this atrocity (dropping me without any logical reason) is allowed to stand. It seems though I had to be substituted for others who could not be dropped, that most likely I could be dropped with impunity, in spite of the fact that everywhere World War Veterans, if interested in them, are given preference at time like that. Such a calamity will be a terrible experience for my wife to hear; and I think of her especially in this 'hour of trial'. "It is definitely known that Dr. Durkee bakes, to a large degree, action on the announced economy plan of President Coolidge; and the practice which is now pervading the several Government Departments. This plea falls short for two outstanding reasons, which are: (1) President Coolidge's economy policy includes a commitment to the proposition that where dropping is necessary, the cases of World War Veterans who are efficient; shall be given first consid- eration; the Durkee is committed to the statement that Thornton is very efficient, that no charge is brought against him. (2) The administration seems not to be practicing economy, in that, it is just now increasing the salaries of 6 or 7 or more deans from $3100 to $3500, increasing salaries of professors—in one case much more—the increase to the deans. While Thornton's salary was the insignificant amount of $1550, which. If paid, relatively speaking would not be felt. The former instructor sets out in detail the work of his department over a period of five years. He marshals figures to show that the number of students enrolled in his class was representative, this in refutation of the Columbia University expert's contention, "that there are not enough students at the present time interested in these fields to justify the development of the school (meaning School of Commerce and Finance, which recommends be merged with the College of Liberal Arts), Mr. Thornton mentions, that even though the expert said, that even though merged, the students would be given the same opportunity to specialize that they now have." "To curtail the work is to deny them what he recommends, in face of the fact that this recommendation was adopted by the board," asserts the former instructor. Referring to his record at the University, he says, "President Durke has expressed time and again verbally and in writing that Thornton's services were highly efficient, and yet in face of the expert's observation that there is scarcity of this type of teacher, the fact is that one of these teachers received his diploma misissi June 17. It has been reliably reported that the statement was made, a teacher that if it were not Thornton, somebody had to be trapped." Mr. Thornton also gives out a copy of a letter which he addressed to a member of the Board of Trustees calling attention to Thornton's case and asking a review. The answer, the former instructor, declares, indicates how powerful is the dominance in the board. This teacherDurke tells Mr. Thornton that he is in full agreement with the action of the university authorities. In issuing his statement, Mr. Thornton frankly admits that this is his 'hour of trial' and seemingly he is in a defensesless manner. He demands a correcting 'of the alleged wrongs inflicted upon him.'

BURRELL The South's well-known brand of race discrimination is rapidly increasing in popularity in certain Northern and Western sections, if recurring reports from these points of the compass are true. This time it is being dispensed in New Jersey, where it is claimed the colored people have recently ascertained the fact that there is not a private park in the State, excepting Signac, where colored picnickers are welcomed, or even tolerated. Here in Newark, the people have every occasion to realize that segregation is here with its limitations loomed only through the necessity of the Almighty dollar. Restaurants, places might be mentioned where Mr. James Crow is ever ready to greet the colored custom, but the park situation is sufficient to convince the traveler that discrimination scarcely recognizes geographical limitations in America.

Ep went sorrowfully into the woodshed and returned with the axe. "Here doc, you hit 'er,'" he said. "I haven't got the nerve."

BRIDE RUNS DOWN BOY Chicago — Motoring to the sta- tion after her wedding, Mrs. G. L. Coster ran down a 6-year-old boy She and her husband took the la- nd to a hospital. RICHMOND HOMICIDES ARE TOO FREQUENT IS BELIEF Richmonders Think Too Many Killings Are Occurring In The City. That there is too general taking life in the city of Richmond is the consensus of opinion expressed by citizens here. The recent killing of Thomas Seaton, at 15 Courts street on Sunday, June 12th which is charged to his wife, Mrs Gertrude Seaton is one case which has helped to form this belief. She shot her husband, it is said, six times at the residence of James Roy. He had lingered there with two females awaiting the coming of Roy, his husband. He had come home. Upon his promise to do so, she went out and later returned, opening fire on him with a revolver. There were eight wounds in the body, being shot six times. One bullet made three perforations. Another Case of Murder Another instance of the death of a man murdered by women is cited. Mamie Ellis is charged with murder of her husband with an axe Friday morning, June 26 at their residence. The killing happened between 6 to 7 a.m. Ellis died afterward in St. Phillips Hospital and his wife was then arrested, charged with murder. It is reported that her husband, who works in the Fulton yards came home about 4 o'clock that morning and beat him. It was the same man who killed him with axe after he went to bed. The wound in Ellis' left temple was big enough to lay three fingers in it. The Coroner's Opinion "The police officer at the corner's inquest testified that the bloody ax was found wrapped in some bed cothes in his room. Jno Henry Ellis had been removed to another room when he got there Coroner Whitfield, when told that the plen would be self-defense wanted to know how Ellis got into the other room. His opinion was that Ellis was struck while he claimed self defense. He claim self defense. The ax was used to keep the door closed as if had recently been broken open and this was why it was in the room. Son In North Carolina Mamie Ellis' son is said to have had the gun. He has since gone to prison. He is now in North Carolina. Ellis is her second hus- band. Atty. Harry M. Smith and Atty. J. R. Pollard are represent- ing her. Ellis' friends have em- ployed Atty. C. A. McKenzie to represent the prosecution. He is assisting and will appear with the newwealth's Attoinney, Daw- E Satterfield should the case come to trial. A Stabbing Fray And yet another case is that of a stabbing. Albert Brent was fatally stabbed on Second street, between Leigh and Clay streets, on July 2, in a braill, the result of previous trouble at a dance. He was stabbed in his arm and left inside Leigh and Clay streets with a relative, the sister of the late Rev. T. J. J. Mosby, at 504 1-2. N. Fifth street, is charged with the murder. A spand of officers bore down upon the house and contrary to the usual custom here, some one of them is claimed to have slapped and otherwise misused the prisoner because would not tell what became of the knife. Died at Once It is also alleged that, there are gangs in Second street, ranging from six and seven upward and when one of their number is assaulted, the assaulting party must deal with the other members. Brent died almost instantly after being taken to St. Phillip's hospi- SQCIAL EVENTS MAVY The Shrimers and Daughters of Isis ran their annual moonlight excursion down the beautiful James Monkey, the 13th of the 5-star Islander.

INJURED IN FALL Mrs. Hattie Ross, of West Hall street, who was seriously injured by a fall down the elevator shaft at the American National Bank Building Friday night, is somewhat improved. It was at first thought that she suffered a fractured skull and it was miraculous she she was saved from a worse face and some of the porters who administered first aid was very timely and helpful. Great excitement reigned for a few minutes following the accident. The group of ladies, workers in the bank building, were coming off duty and were entering the elevator to be carried to the main floor, but just as Mrs. Ross, who was the last of the group entering, attempted to get aboard, the car, thus some mishap. The lady who had one foot in the lost her equilibrium as the car shot mass and fell head-formost down in the hole.

July 28 "Sunny Jim" Williams, of San Francisco has entered the eastern field of fistic competition in the leather-pushing game. If the record compiled by this fellow on the Coast is a criterion to be should soon become equally as popular in pugilistic ranks as the Deacon Tiger Flowers, Williams will legitimate (eol) middleweight and a good one. Out in the Golden West where "Sunny Jim" has done most of his fistic combatting, he is regarded by experts as the most spectacular and pleasing performer in the game. Sport scribes have frequently sung the praises of Williams and have predicted that he would give the sensational Tiger Flowers of Georgia a fight that would always be remembered. It is not likely that these two will all any longer be under the same management. Walker Miller who has so successfully directed the affairs of the famous "Tiger" and many other colored fighters of note signed "Sunny Jim" to a five year contract immediately on his arrival in the big city. Miller says he feels confident that in Flowers and Williams, he has the two best middleweights in the world today. It is possible one of Walk's friends on the Coast tipped him off as to the ability of Williams, and the satue of Wang Ming signing "Sunny Jim" and keeping him under the same direction with Flowers. He that as it may, this fellow Williams will bear watching in the future. He is sure to give all of the present day middle and lightweight a tough argument for leading honors. ENTERS CONSERVATORY Mrs. Hattie L. Bland, wife of Prof. Chas. Bland, has entered the Boston Conservatory, where she will take advantage of the six weeks summer course in music as offered by that institution. Mrs. Bland, who is prominent in social circles is the daughter of Dr. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., pastor, second Baptist Church. She is also so prono solist and assistant director of the Alpha Glee Club. AUTO RUNS AWAY Ap empty automobile got away and ran wild down Franklin, St. Saturday afternoon and found lodgings in the plate glass window of the Old Dutch Market. Many automobiles have behaved quite as bad about here with somebody at the wheel. CHURCH HELPS ACCUSED The open heart and generosity of the church towards its members in distress is quite an established thing, but it isn't often that they are called on to help one in trouble, especially when the one is accused of murder. The Hood Temple A. M. E. Zion Church took up last Sunday in an after collection $25.00 for one of its members so accused. WORK ON 6TH MT. ZION NEARS END "Sunny Jim" has fought in feature attractions at the Dreamland Club, Doyle's Vernon Club, Madison Square Gardens at Los Angeles, and at Portland, Ohio. His clipping book shows many glaring accounts of sensational mishaps at sports events. He was a great favorite with the fans and drew capacity houses in his every start. Taking Form Of One Of Most Beautiful Religious Edifices In the City. Richmond, Va.-The Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist, Church, the remodeling work on which is nearing completion, is quite an imposing structure. Taking the form of an entirely new church, it stands boldly as one of the most beautiful religious edifices in this city. Billy Conley, Battling Ortega, Steve Dalton, Ray Pelkey, Frankie Murphy, Bert Collin and many others have dropped decisions to Williams. He knocked out the sensational Gordon McKay in two games. He was the only time this fighter had ever been knocked out. When the interior decorating is completed and the new and latest model pipe organ shall have been installed. Sixth Mount Zion will rank then in grandeur as well as in pulpit intellectuality, with the leading Negro churches of the country. The work on this church almost in its entirety. From the building of the debris was and is being done by Negroes. All of this great building work at an enormous cost has been undertaken in one year under the able administration and direction of Dr. A. W. Brown, pastor of the church. Rev Brown is a man of broad vision and tremendous executive ability which he has so clearly demonstrated in the year that he has been appointed to the role in all of this work he was not unmindful of the need of education of the race and his duty along that line so he had his church pledge $1000 to the Hartshorn-Union Campaign for funds. "Sunny Jim" is aggressive and always makes the fight an interesting one, he never stalls or uses any tactics that would tend to slow up a match, and should immediately become a prime favorite with the cash customers in this territory, where the fans always follow a fighter who fights. Williams makes his eastern debut around the first of July. Mules vary in weight from 600 to 1,000 pounds. Butter trees abound in the interior of Africa.

Atlanta Independent Anniversary The JOURNAL AND GUIDE compliments the Atlanta Independent upon the issuance of its Twenty-third Anniversary and Progress Record edition of July 9th. It comes to us in four sections of twenty-eight pages compact with a wealth of information and inspiration on the progress of the race revealed in both its news and advertising columns. The anniversary edition of the Independent ought to be filed away by those in whose hands it shall fall as part of a treasured record of contemporary race history to be preserved for the guidance of future compilers on Negro Life in America. Understanding, as experience has taught us, the mummoth task that confronts the average race newspaper when it steps out of the routine and attempts to do something big, we appreciate the vast amount of work the staff of the Independent has had to accomplish to put this edition in the hands of its readers. The work, however, as represented in the finished product was worthy of its performance, and it bespeaks unmistakably the steady progress the Independent has and is making in the hands of its able editor and his assistants.

The Commissioner warns that unless autoists shut off their motors while on ferries and similar crossings they will be liable to a fine under the Federal law, up to $500, "and their automobiles shall be liable for the fine." Previous to the last session of Congress, when the statute was changed, the law applied to ferry owners. They pleaded inability to enforce it and as a result Congress placed the responsibility on the autoists. All fires must be extinguished in the auto and its motor stopped immediately after the machine has taken its position on the vessel, and the motor must remain idle until the boat is made fast to its landing. The law is very explicit on this subject, and even inadvertent violation may get the automobile driver into no little trouble. It is easy to imagine how a day's outing may be spoiled, other unnecessary expense and inconveniences encountered by the motorists who disregard this law even for a brief moment in the presence of an aggressive officer. Save your cars and annoyance by a strict adherence to the law. A Forward Looking State University In furtherance of its broadening work in inter-racial cooperation, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the first instance in its long history has included a Negro in the list of special lecturers to the students in the School of Public Welfare. This historical University's staff of lecturers this summer will include Lawrence A. Oxley, Director Bureau for Work Among Negroes in North Carolina, who will speak to the classes of County Superintendents on the subject: "The Negro in the State Welfare Program." Mr. Oxley will lecture upon invitation of the Director of the Institutes and the Dean of the School of Public Welfare. This invitation and its acceptance marks a most progressive step in the matter of inter-racial understanding and cooperation, for, as Professor Guy B. Johnson, Associate Editor of the University's publication, the Journal of Social Forces," a magazine which is in the vanguard of those which attempt to study and present the real aspects of Negro life, says: "It may be a paradox, but it is true that those who think they know the Negro best really know least about his inner life," and it is important, therefore that in the study of Public Welfare either close students of the Negro race or Negroes themselves disseminate the facts and theories about the race. It is significant, too, that a Southern University is among those institutions of learn- ing that are taking the initiative in giving formal recognition to a definite study of Negro life and to securing members of the race studied to lecture to its classes. "The scientific study of the race problem is gaining ground," as Professor Johnson of the University of North Carolina said, and this forward step supports his statement and gives evidence "that the South is learning to think calmly about the Negro." Our Heroes Not within the memory of the present generation have the newspapers of the country had an opportunity of heralding in big front page stories in such rapid succession such a glorious array of instances' of individual heroism as they have had for the past two months. First, Tom Lee risked his life in the eddies of the Mississippi and saved 32 prominent persons from a watery death. Before references to this daring episode had found the back pages, Oscar Daniels, a Pullman porter saved the lives of a score or more of passengers on his train, but sacrificed his own life in the heroic act. Before the blood tingle which Daniels' act gave that great body of Americans who are thrilled by individual daring had time to subside, a nine-year-old girl of Hagerstown, Md., thought quickly and intelligently enough to improvise a flag and wave down a passenger train in time to avert an impending wreck. Her heroism undoubtedly saved the lives of another score or more persons. The heroes and heroine were lowly individuals and members of the Negro race. The beneficiaries of their heroism were white, wealthy and influential. But the race of those heroes and heroine had nothing to do with their acts. The fact is, race is such an insignificant factor in the realm of human accomplishments that really there is no need of referring to it here, except in refutation of the opinion held by certain people that daring, courage, instant thinking and acting recognize racial limitations. These individuals were instinctively impelled by that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin. And being impelled, they succeeded because they possessed the innate capacity, like other normal humans, to face emergencies and rise to greatness. To Spread Negro Literature In Europe Those fifty white women, prominent social service workers of Chicago, who have planned to distribute in Europe literature on Negro progress in America at the convention of the World Federation of Education Associations this summer have struck upon an idea that is fraught with the possibilities of rendering incalculable service to the whole world. As a race we will be compelled to feel elated and deeply appreciative of their efforts in our behalf, but the good that is certain to follow the carrying out of their plans is too great, too far-reaching to be comprehended merely as a race benefit. Any plan whatsoever that contemplates the softening of racial and world distrust, hatreds and misunderstandings comprehends world benefits. It is an old and more or less truthful saying that bad news travels doubly as fast as good news and always gets the first start. But it is also a truism that truth, once started on its way, is never again caged but goes on and gradually reforming the world and world conditions. Unfavorable propaganda and unmitigated falsehoods concerning the American Negro have been carried to Europe, very likely, ever since the first American touched foot on foreign shores. With the increase of ocean travel the carrying of that stuff has become accelerated. Occasionally the light of truth has blazoned across the Atlantic and has served to cause race prejudice to grow in the Old World with a slackened pace. These Chicago women are going to make a systematic and organized attempt to spread the truth over there. To Miss Holbrook, who is to do the distributing, we bid God's speed, and say to her that her mission approaches the Divine. Virginia's Isolation A decrease in lynchings and other racial disturbances in the South during the past year and a half is a hopeful indication that Southern State governments and private agencies are making strenuous efforts to strengthen inter-racial amity and maintain strict law observance in all matters growing out of misunderstandings between the races. Of all the states concerned with the delicate race problem, Virginia is at present occupying the conspicuous and unenviable position of being the seat of an organized and apparently determined movement to negative and to destroy all that is being done in the State and elsewhere to bring about a peaceful and satisfactory adjustment of conditions. And all because of the fanatical notions of a small group of men who have conceived the idea—if they are really sincere—that the white race in Amer- Norfolk Journal and Guide ica must be saved from absorption by those of African and Indian descent! The men who are most active in this strange, organized movement to wreck amicable race relations in Virginia and in the South are: John Powell, a professional pianist; Dr. Lawrence T. Price, a physician; Dr. W. A. Plecker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics; Earnest S. Cox, a disciple of Marcus Garvey, all of Richmond; and W. S. Copeland, editor of a Newport News daily newspaper. They are the authors and sponsors of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs movement, and they have launched a vicious and malicious broadside against the affiliation of white people in any personal capacity with Negro educational or social welfare work. Their latest move was to formally request twenty outstanding Southerners, including Governor Trinkle of Virginia and Governor McLean of North Carolina, to withdraw from the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund committee, because, they allege, "social equality is taught and practiced at Hampton," a charge both impudent and infamous in its spirit and motive. Even during the days of slavery there were social contacts between master and slave. General Robt. E. Lee, the idol of the South, and General Stonewall Jackson taught colored people how to read the Bible and instructed them in religious precepts. Thousands of Southerners of pure Anglo-Saxon blood emulated the ideals and examples of Lee and Jackson. John Powell and his misguided followers could learn something to their own benefit, by studying the experiences of some of these Southerners in their relations with colored people. Health And Welfare by NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (For Associated Negro Press) Vacations Safe and Sane—Exhibit B The sentiment of the last "lest we forget" was "Make your vacation one of time, task, and territory, but don't vacate reason, right or righteousness." Special sections of the Vacation Express, going somewhere and nowhere and carrying a merry-go-round of seekers after the what they ain't going to get sometimes, and getting what they ain't seeking for sometimes, and so often run around the green signals of safety and orange that we thought a bit of jogging the memory might spare the casualty lists some of their usual vacation victims. This time we had hoped to jump right on board with you and have a right-o-way that would turn all signals right-side up. But, lo, the man who gathers up what's left after it has happened says that out of the decem of rules proposed to save carcasses, coins and consciences, the only one left unbroken hasn't been reported yet. Well we are not discouraged. Have you ever seen an excited rabbit get out of his bed to take to the tall timbers? Well, it takes him a little while to straighten out. So here goes again. 1. Typhoid—This is an awful starter, but he is a more awful finisher. Watch the sources of the milk you use, and both drinking water and water of bathing or swimming holes or streams. By all means get your anti-typhoid vaccine. It doesn't hurt you, but better still it will keep typhoid "bugs" from hurting you and taking your name and address for further reference. Your doctor or health department can put you next. Three scratches and typhoid is out-o'-luck. 2. Stomach and Intestine Disorders—Don't don't don't treat your food factory and waste disposal system as if it were a detachment from the rest of the respectable and reasonable community of interest in matters of personal hygiene. Eat right food, right way, right time and eliminate waste regularly and thoroughly. Have a heart, or you will not have a stomach—or wish you did not have one. 3. Tricks and Tragedies—Vacations are great educators, but constantly bear in mind that the rear lights on your old bus light up only what you have run over and perhaps wrecked. There are two arch fiends which take advantage of the universal personal alibi, "I didn't think." First, there is the wise guy who first attracts your conceit or curiosity and then extracts your coin or your claim to respectability. Have a good time, but think! When some folks are merry, other folks are figuring on finesse, filch and folly. The other is not a submarine, first on the level and then under cover; but it is a part of the wrecking crew which we should none the less beware. Jazz, joy-juice and gasoline are the usual pleas of the offenders. Be yourselves, vacationers! Have a good time but think! No vacation is worth a mortgage on all future prospects for good business, happy home and the esteem of your community. "Wow!!" says the traffic manager, "let up." It ain't all that bad." All right, then. Show us some green and chase the red and the Vacation Express will be on its way. Nuff Sed. But, say, don't you think it is a good idea to hang out a few signs at railway, gasoline, seashore and "Don't-be-too sure" stations? This is our nomination. When in doubt, just think of the famous "Watill" song; "What Will I Do?" Well just run down your personal record to date and decide what you want in the next chapter and do it. What's yourfs?

Odum, Ph.D. Kenan Professor of Sociology and Director of the School of Public Welfare, University of North Carolina, by William H. Byrd, by the University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, N.C. Price, $2.00. The book entitled "Southern Pioneers," a volume edited by Howard W. Odum, Ph.D., of the University of North Carolina, has the merit of frankness in dealing with the conditions which are responsible for the South's present lack in leadership of the first order. The book is introspective in looking at these conditions and seeks with incisive analysis to lay bare the causes of the South's want of leaders of distinction. Mr. Odum constantly wields the lash in arousing his compatriots to a sense of needed newer thought if the "self-imposed impassable barriers" obstructing the progress of the South, are to be removed to give place to the creation of situations favorable to the achievement, the distinction, the development of Southern talent. That this is possible and partakes of the nature of a Southern promise of the turning of Southern potential power into national power is clearly indicated by Prof. Odum in his selection of the stories of Southern pioneers with which his work is supplemented. Among the pioneers thus selected for the purpose of emphasizing his views is the name of Booker T. Washington, whom he includes along with Wowrow Wilson, Walter Hines Page, Joel Chandler Harris, and others as representatives and leaders of the new thought awakening taking place throughout the South today. The writer goes on to infer that the Southern men who have risen to the heights of eminence have had their pushing force from sections outside the South. Just before making this inference, he observes "Even in religion and morality, for which we claim so much, we have been poor in the fruits of social righteousness, justice and the essence of Christianity. The religion that boasts much, complains continuously, seeks motes in the other people's eyes, klans together for persecution, mobs the weak, has little respect for truth, is selfishly self-centered, is emotionally and lazily inclined toward the easiest way, would hardly be expected to produce distinguished creative contributions in any field. So long as the majority of leaders and the great group of followers are rich in that spirit of self-righteousness, of sensitive antagonism toward things not our own way of thinking, so long will the South be thrice not blessed." Language like the above can come only from one who is deeply in earnest about the welfare of his native land and who has the power of insight into her shortcomings. Again the writer calls attention to the influence of Northern and Western universities upon professional folks of the South and decries the withholding of "the means and stimulus for distinguished effort and service" on the part of the South. Dr. Odum points out the significance of two viewpoints in dealing with situations which arise in the South. For example, the view taken by a Southern denominational leader in campaigning for financial support for "the South's greatest University" in which he says that the South "must endow and equip its own institutions of learning, and then by the most watchful care keep them clear of liberalism and liberalists. This is a high and holy obligation which the South owes the great Republic of which it is so important a part." Contrasted with this is President Wilson's utterance: "University spirit is intolerant of all things that put the human mind under restraint. It is intolerant of everything that seeks to retard the advancement of ideals, the acceptance of truth, the purification of life," which statement, Prof. Odum thinks is the proper view, if persons are inclined to think in terms not of a narrow sectionalism. The author does not believe in the defense mechanisms repeatedly got up to explain the reasons why the South has not taken her place in the new spirit of progress which is pervading the other sections of the nation. The book prompts us to feel that behind the thoughts expressed in it is a thinker who has the moral courage to utter his convictions on great moral questions vitally affecting the land which is dear to him and to work for her deliverance. He points us clearly to that revolution taking place which in due time is compelled to change the face of the Southland. The constructive criticism given in the volume are thoughtfully presented and it should be carefully read by every one who years to see this great section take her place nationally, and who by reason of the author's vivid presentation of manifest shortcomings may be stirred to new endeavor in the great work of her advancement.

They served teen months without was mortally wounded in the battle of For WALTER JEREMIAH SCOTT Racial Issues In Current Literature BY DANIEL W. CHASE The Basis of Racial Adjustment, The Menace of Color and Races, Nations and Classes are three recent publications dealing with problems of race assimilation in the United States. The Basis of Racial Adjustment is by Thomas Jackson Woofter jr., Ph. D., who points out that there is no real race problem involved, the only thing necessary being to teach the two races how to live cooperatively and harmoniously. Dr. Woofter states that since the Civil War much has been done toward bringing about real cooperation between the races, and much more needs to be done. Education has made the colored people less dependent upon the white man, and the author states that as the facilities increase for fitting the colored man to be able to care for himself more, race relationships will be better. He does not believe in, nor does he see any danger in amalgamation, and it is his opinion that miscegenation is on the decrease, neither race desiring it. The book will serve well as a textbook for those interested in how the races are to dwell together and certain other questions affecting our social conditions. "Races Nations and Classes" by Herbert Adolphus Miller, is a fairly human treatment of the color question. He gives some ugly facts, but he states them in a way as not to arouse group prejudice. He has timely illustrations from current history, dealing with the Jews in Poland, as well as throughout the world, the Poles in Germany, the Bohemians in Austria, the Koreans in their relation to Japan; the Negro in Africa and America, in relation to the civilization of the white man. The Mohammedan and the Christian, the Catholic and the Protestant, the capitalist and the laborer, all find a place in Dr. Miller's Conflicts of Race, Nations and Classes. He believes that the Jew has a threefold mission: the fostering of cultural idealism, of economic reorganization along international lines and of humanitarian tendencies of world-wide scope. The book is recommended for the reading table for it is both interesting and illuminating. It is from the press of the J. B. Lippincott company. Dr. J. W. Gregory, F. R. S., D. S. ce, really sees "The Menace of Color," and declares that the migration of Southern Negroes to Northern centers will make such a scarcity of labor in the South that it will become necessary to import 'cheap' white laborers from Europe. He says that those coming from certain places along the Mediterranean Sea, where there is little feeling against intermarriage with the black race, might lead to a racial amalgamation, the consequences of which are difficult at this time to see. Just to think, Dr. Gregory imagines, if these newcomers marry Southern Negroes, the problem "would be one of even greater and grave import." However his book covers a wide range, and in speaking of persons of color Dr. Gregory means all who do not belong to the white race. "The white race includes, with the exception only of the Lapps, all the Europeans and their descendants in other continents. The yellow or Mongolian race includes the people of Eastern and Northern Asia the Malays and American Indians. The brown race includes all Asiatic who are not Mongolian, all Africans who are not Negroes, the Australian aborigines, and the South Sea Islanders or Polynesians." Continue reading, "The Negro race includes all the frizzly-haired thick-lipped, broad-nosed inhabitants of Africa and an offshoot of the same race in New Guinea and further east in the Melanesian Islands." However, Dr. Gregory believes that each race should work out its own destiny by itself, and to show that he is not alone in his belief he quotes certain correspondence had by Herbert Spencer with Count Ito in 1892. He would relegate the white race to Europe, North America and HOOSIT? 16. He was a Colonel in the Civil War. He drilled colored men in the streets of Boston, and despite the pessimisms of the general public they became a regiment, and he was 'given command. They served for eighteen months without pay. He was mortally wounded early during the battle of Fort Wagner; whereupon seeing the fall of their commander, his leaderless soldiers displayed the most remarkable valor, and extraordinary courage ever witnessed in battle unto this day. Wounded they refused to be succured and actually fought until their hearts ceased to beat. One man, shot through both legs, crawled up the battlements on his bleeding stumps and placed their gory flag on the heights yelling "The Old Flag never touched the ground." When the United States asked for the body of their young leader, the Confederate Government replied "We buried him with his niggers." Hoosit? Answer to Hosit 15. Hannibal of Carthage. The Poet's Corner The Prosperous Black Race Over the seas from our native home, Bound in chain under a slavery hand. O faithful black race, such deeds cannot be forgotten. Elevate and magnify our standard we must, The steep and rugged is the hill we climb; Fame and strength lie in the unity of us. The hilltop we reach in the steady march of time. 'Twas our fathers' helped America advance comprehensive and strong. To be victorious in wars, the hill of prosperity she climbed the height. Success and victory is achieved by help of the black man's arm. Softly whisper I in my heart; To us she owes her might. Not envy and jealousy nor vengeance we seek; But truth and righteousness and justice for all. St. Matt, chap. 5; the earth's inhabitants shall be the meek. Every evil work, thought and deed shall fall. Prosper on ye valiant hearted black race of might. No nation has learned intelligence, nor prospered in such haste, Nor shown their work and skill a light so bright As the prosperous and faithful American black race. —L. G. CLARKE New Haven, Conn. SKEPTICISM No greater baneful destroyer or racial hopes, exists than the skeptic,—the brother who lacks confidence in himself and his race. We have met several different varieties of this member of the Four Horsemen, and it it both painful and pitiful to see him apply his extinguisher to the comfortable warp of racial advancement. One skeptic, a physician, said he never paid any attention to what he read in Negro newspapers,—that it was all bunk, and he could get enough real news by reading the white dailies. Another, a Negro businessman, said he had 'no use for Negro lawyers, all of whom were N. G. A modest washerwoman whose rent was being raised every quarter or so, said she'd rather pay her rent to a white agent while another prominent doctor, with a lucrative practice among his own people, always "cut in" a white undertaker whenever he could. Still another skeptic said he did not have much use for colored dentists; and most of the brothers and sisters living near the young Australia; the yellow and brown races to Asia, and the blacks to Africa. The book has several illustrations and maps, and contains about two hundred and sixty pages. It is of value to students of Sociology, especially as dealing with inter-racial relationships. colored druggist on the went down town for every excepting ice cream who postage stamps.
