JOURNAL AND GUIDE SETS A NEW HIGH SALES RECORD Publishers Forced to Run Second Edition To Supply Local Demands; Rapid Selling Saturday And Sunday. The publishers of the Journal and Guide were put to quite an unusual experience last week. Without any previous thought of so doing, or any planning whatsoever, they were compelled on Saturday afternoon to publish a second edition to supply the heavy demand for the paper locally. Thursday afternoon at the usual time the regular press run was completed. The press was wiped off and covered, no one in the office entertaining the slightest idea that there would be further use for it before the ensuing week. Late Friday afternoon, however, reports began to teach the office indicating that the city was sold out of the Journal and Guide. These reports caused some apprehension in the office lest the public might not be supplied. It was taken for granted however, that the supply in the hands of carriers and newsstands in remote sections would take care of the demand. No such thing happened. The demand for more papers increased instead of lessening. Newshows began to storm the office and newsstand proprietors sent in frantic calls for more papers. Second Edition Printed Saturday morning the covering was snatched off the big newspaper press and its machinery again put in action. This run completed, every one in the office felt sure there would be more than sufficient papers on hand for the week-end. Before 11 o'clock this second supply was exhausted. Quickly some changes in make-up were effected and the press started again, this time on a second edition. This edition run, the mechanical force knocked off for its usual half holiday. Saturday. Saturday night the second edition was completely exhausted and newsstands and newsboys were again trying frantically to get in touch with some members of the staff. Sunday morning early these news vendors swarmed on the front porch of the editor's home. He was virtually yanked out of bed. A few telephone calls and other members of the force were hurriedly jumping out of their beds. The demand for the Journal and Guide had reached fierce proportions by this time, and it had to be supplied. Drowsy eyes became wide awake in an instant; breakfasts were left off—Sunday morning breakfasts too—and in a short while the big press was again throwing out the papers at the rate of 5,000 an hour. The demand was met and the Journal and Guide sustained its reputation for always giving the public the latest angles to the current news. VIRGINIA MASONS FISK UNIVERSITY TO PUBLISH HISTORY FUNCTION UNDER A OF THE ORDER NEW PROGRAMME One of Most Illustrious Jurisdictions In Masonry; Pioneer Members Played Important Role. ANNUAL COVENTION SEPTEMBER 14-18 As a part of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Virginia, which will be held in Richmond, September 14 to 18, this year Grand Lodge officers announce the publication of a history of this one of the most noted and illustrious jurisdictions in Masonry. The scope of this chronicle will include the earliest records of Masonry among Negroes tracing its beginning from the Army Lodge which was warranted by the Grand Lodge of England in 1787 under the name of African Lodge No. 459 with Prince Hall as the first Worshipful Master. It points out that Masonry was first established in Virginia through the organization of Universal Lodge No. 1 in Alexandria, February 5, 1845, while the first Grand Lodge in the State was established December 28, 1865, another followed October 14, 1867, these two being united in Petersburg, December 15, 1875, the organization which has an unbroken history to this time. The roster of the Lodge of Virginia contains the names of nearly all the prominent in the development of Negro culture in the State. They point with pride to many such successful efforts as the establishment of the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, the president of which J. H. Johnson was a Grand Lodge officer and another officer, A. W. Harris drew and introduced in the legislature the bill which made it possible. The construction was under the direction of the Negroes, the brick manufactured in a brick yard owned by them and the first spade of earth being turned by the Grand Secretary. It is unusual in that only three Grand Secretaries have served during its long history; the first served seven years, the second, Dr. H. L. Harris, from 1882 until his death in 1920, and his son, W. H. Harris, who has served until this time. They have printed and bound proceedings from the very beginning of the organization and an attractive volume of history is promised. It will be illustrated by W. E. Scott of Chicago, a former pupil of H. O. Tanner, and printed by the St. Luke Press under the direction of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker. THINKS NORFOLK IS A BAD TOWN But The Old Burg Is Not So Wicked.—Just A Normal Healthy City. A Philadelphiaian who signs his name Clarence L. Benton, and who says that he once was a resident of Norfolk for five years, during which time he was enlisted in the Navy, is apparently deeply pained and much concerned over what he feels to be awful vice conditions in Norfolk. Mr. Benton read in last week's Journal and Guide the account of the attempted robbery and murder occurring here recently and evidently forthwith concluded that there is too much meanness in Norfolk, according to a letter he wrote the Journal and Guide this week. Mr. Benton said, "It is very bad for such things to happen in such a small city as Norfolk." He adds that having lived here for five years he is able to comment on the good and the bad, but believes that the bad is taking the lead. Mr. Benton writes sincerely of what he sees as the awful hold vice is getting on the youth of the race, and he is a bit pessimistic about it. In this connection he writes: "I know of several young men and women whose future is promising, and it seems that their hopes will be crushed and little can be accomplished unless we can get so much vice from among us." Needlesly Troubled Altho Mr. Benton writes sincerely, it appears that as to Norfolk, his mind is needlessly troubled. Norfolk people inform their solicitous Philadelphia friend that the old hurg is not so wicked, just a normal, healthy city. It has its share of goodness and its share of devilishness—no more and no less. The difference between Norfolk and some other towns is that when gunmen begin to make trouble, we catch them and hang them. Mr. Benton's sympathy, although much appreciated, might well be spend (O'Connor, The Times). NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1925 Democratic Campus Spirit Will Be Possible Through Student Council; Athletics Will Be Encouraged. $100,000 DEFICIT TO BE WIPED OUT Fisk University, of Nashville, Tennessee, which became the center of national publicity and discussion last spring when a result of the student body seriously threatened to impair the usefulness of the school, at least temporarily and resulted in bringing about the resignation of Dr. Fayette McKenzie as president, is going to function under a new program, according to information being forwarded to the alumni throughout the country by Rev. Paul E. Baker, chapain of the University. Mr. Baker has been commissioned by the Board of Trustees to tell the story of the new progress at Fisk to the country. He was in Newport News last week and spoke to the local alumni at the home of Maurice Newsome, on Oak avenue. Dr. Miller At Head While the Board of Trustees is in the process of seeking out a suitable president for Fisk, the University will be administered by a committee. Dr. Herbert Miller of the Sociology Department of the Ohio State University, who took charge of affairs at Fisk upon the withdrawal of Dr. McKenzie is the head of this committee. Professor Augustus F. Shaw is faculty chairman and Mrs. Crosshrait, registrar; Professor Brumfield, Religion and Ethics, and Miss Elizabeth Collins, Dean of Women, are the other members. Students Get A Ypice A more democratic spirit on the campus is promised. The students are to have a voice in administrative affairs through a Student Council, one of the objects sought during McKenzie's regime, and one of the issues that brought about the revolt. Athletics will be fostered and encouraged, a quarterly athletic fee of $2.00 to be levied quarterly will help to defray the expense of athletics and a large and interesting program is said to be assured. A school publication is among the other objects to be Continued on page Three. Youth Gets 10 Years For Killing Boy Alexander, Spivey's youth, he is 14 years old, saved him from going to the penitentiary for a term of 10 years and got him in the State Reform School for that period, following his conviction for having murdered Roy Jones in Nansemond county Circuit Court last week. Spivey was charged with having killed Jones several weeks ago in an argument over fifteen cents for a necktie near the Elks club, just outside the city limits of Suffolk. Hugh L. Holland, who defended Spivey made a brilliant defense. The youth was prosecuted by attorneys Charles B. Godwin jr., and i. R. Saunders. ACCOUNTS OF CHURCH EPISODE CONFLICT One of Alleged Participants Appears to Have Misled Reporter in Relating The Affair. "In the Journal and Guide of July 18th, there was an article headed "Stops Preacher In Midst Of Sermon To Argue Point," which purported to give a true account of the interruption of the Rev. R. H. Johnson, pastor of the Sharon Baptist Church, of Richmond, in the midst of a sermon by a member of his congregation. The interruption, the report stated, was for the purpose of "calling down the preacher, and to show that he was preaching false doctrine." Our Richmond correspondent, Mr. Robert A. Crump, received his information upon which the report was written directly from Jacob Horn, one of the parties to the occurrence, but from statements made by Rev. Johnson and members of his official board to Mr. Crump, it appears that he was misled by his informant. (Continued on Page 3) Work Of Sunday Afternoon's Storm In Nansemond 1—Home of Madame Vaughn, palmist, the roof of which was blown off completely. 2—Grocery store badly damaged. 3—Home torn down completely. Nansemond Village Suffers From Cyclonic Wind Storm EDITOR SAUNDERS FINDS CHURCH TO HIS LIKING, JOINS This Newspaper Man Appears To Be Entirely Consistent In His Writings, Thinking And Acting. "O consistency thou art a jewel." This being the case editor and publisher W. O. Saunders of the Elizabeth City, N. C., Independent also Associate Editor of Collier's Weekly, is bedecked with the jewels of consistency. Editor Saunders, according to news dispatches from New York, has at last joined a church. Mr. Saunders' home folks have known all along that the reason his name has not heretofore been enrolled on the membership book of any church has been because he has steadfastly maintained that he would not join any church of any denomination that held to the creed that its religion was the only one. He is said to have often remarked that when he found a church that would permit him to think for himself and form his own opinions of the good of religion, this church would he join. On one occasion Mr. Saunders said editorially in his newspaper that he liked to go to church when the folks did not bother him about his poor soul. More than once he has thrust Race Issue Fear Stays Presbyterian Church Unifaction The Methodist Church, North and South, is not the only great religious body in this country divided upon geographical lines in which there is fear of unification on account of the race question. The Presbyterian Church in the United States and the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, Northern and Southern bodies of this great denomination would approach the question of unification if there were not among its prominent constituents some unassesses over the relation of the Negro to the church, according to a hint dropped by Rev. Chas. R. Erdman, of Princeton, N. J., and moderator of the Northern Presbyterian Church. Dr. Erdman is accredited in the daily press with having said at Montreat, N. C., last week the Northern Church is ready for such action (meaning unification) "but there are certain reasons why the Southern Church believe that the present relations of the two bodies should be maintained." Among them Dr. Erdman specified the fear on the part of the Southern Church that the Northern Church might not steadfastly maintain in their common standards, might not understand the Negro problem and might not regard the right relation of Church and State. Houses Unroofed. Trees Uprooted, Twisted Off and Bus Overturned By Furious Wind. Crops Laid to Waste Although the cyclonic wind and rain storm that swept Nansenmond county from Drivers to Wilroys, Sunday night was no respector of persons or property, colored farmers and residents of the village of Nansenmond suffered heavily from the destruction wrought in the storm's wake. Their suffering comes not from a heavier immediate loss than that of their neighbors, but from their inability to recover as quickly. The wind, which blew with unprecedented fury for this section spent itself upon the village of Nansmourn where it smashed unstinted buildings, lifted roofs from houses, twisted off giant trees and bid to rain acre upon acre of fine crops. Nearly every home in the village was wrecked, some beyond repair. Daniel Parker, driver of the colored Suffolk-Portsmouth bus sustained serious injury when his bus, which was parked along the roadside near a filling station was overturned by the gale, pinning him underneath the machine. Parker was later rushed to a hospital. Mine. Vaughn, a palmist, well-known to colored people in and around Portsmouth and Norfolk lost the entire roof and a large portion of the superstructure of her home. A State police officer, Alexander Deppin miraculously escaped serious injury when a filling station roof erashed down on the top of his automobile. Mr. Deppin had parked his car under the roof. When the beams began to give way the wind's fury he realized the impending danger and fell on the floor of his car. The roof came down but the top of the automobile failed to crumple up. Roads in the storm were blocked Monday morning with fallen trees debris from houses and other objects which had been no more than chaff to the hurtling wind. That there was not a heavy death toll seems a miracle. While the storm, just four miles out was playing havoc with everything in its wake the town of Suffolk was quiet, none of the high wind and heavy rain reaching that city. Norfolk get the rain, but the wind here was not of severe intensity. Heroine Gets $100 For Her Brave Deed For her presence of mind and bravery little Esther Francis Hill, 9 year-old colored girl of Augusta, Md., is $100 richer, this amount having been awarded her some days ago by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for fugging a passenger train and preventing it from running into a tree which had fallen across the track. It is said the company doubts that a serious accident would have happened if the train had not been stopped, but wanted to reward the girl for her thoughtfulness. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR August 1. Set Apart For Organizing National American Bar Association In Which Membership Can be Utilized Colored lawyers of the country are planning to get together and look more after their own interests and the best interests of the race, according to a memorial the National Bar Association has just released. "An American Bar Association where our membership can be utilized for the best interest of the race and country," is said to be the purpose of the proposed organization. In the memorial the following important features are stressed: "Whereas, so far as we are able to ascertain, there exists in our country no active effective association or other organization uniting any considerable number of the thousands of Negro men and women who are actively engaged in the practice of the ancient and honorable legal profession, and "Whereas, we feel that there should be soing such organization perfected within the near future. "Be it resolved that we hereby set apart August 1, 1925, at the Court House in Des Moines, Iowa, at 10 o'clock, a, m., a time and place for the meeting to organize such National American Bar Association and hereby invite all local associations composed of lawyers of African descent or colored persons to send representatives to this meeting and extend the privilege to all such individual lawyers who may come to take part in this meeting, and "Be it further resolved by the members of the Iowa Negro Bar Association in 24th annual session assembled at Des Moines, Iowa, that we hereby extend an invitation to all sectional, state or local association or other organizations of lawyers composed of Negroes or Americans of African descent or colored Americans to send one representative to the city of Des Moines, Iowa, on the 11th day of February 1926 for the purpose of assisting us in celebrating our 25th anniversary or Silver Jubilee." Love Note Writer Shot When He Tries To Escape Augustus Lasane, who made a stubborn fight in *a North Carolina court* a few weeks ago to avoid going to jail on a charge of assault, growing out of his passing a love note to a young white woman, and who was sentenced to two years on the county roads, has further indicated his aversion to penal discipline by attempting to escape from the road camp, according to reports from Lexington, N.

BODY FOUND LYING ON FLOOR OF ROOM Miss Laurina McLaurin, 19-year-old daughter of James McLaurin, living on the farm of Paul Montford on Masonboro Sound, N. C., evidently put herself in the path of a lightning bolt when she left her bed to close a window of her room early Thursday morning during a severe electric storm. Miss McLaurin was killed and her parents who were sleeping in another part of the house had no knowledge of the cragle death of their daughter until the following morning when she failed to come down stars at her usual time. An investigation revealed the young woman's body crumpled up on the floor near the chimney. A few bricks knocked out of the chimney indicated that the lightning bolt had struck it also. BRYAN, IN HIS LAST DAYS WAS ADMIRED BY MANY OF RACE Regarded As Training With Forces Inimical To Race's Interest For Thirty Years, Captured Large Following. When William Jennings Bryan died in Dayton, Tenn., Sunday he had lived just long enough to ingrate himself into the thoughts of thousands of Colored Americans, who for thirty years had regarded him as being firmly entrenched with the forces inimical to the race's interest. Had the great Commoner died before the trial of the century—the evolution case—undoubtedly he would have gone to his grave without the affection of thousands of Negroes which was at his time of his end, according to what appears to be the sentiment among the race. William Jennings Bryan's thirty years of political life never struck harmony with the aspirations of Afro-Americans, said a prominent colored man here this week. "Although dubbed as a Great Commoner, his common people never seemed to embrace Negroes." For the first time in the history of his life's great battles, he attracted the sympathetic feelings of a large portion of Colored America when he championed fund-amentalism at the Scopes trial. Negroes, being by far and large, fundamentalists in religion, naturally found themselves in this one instance on Bryan's side, or Bryan on their side. Political Fortunes Bryan cast his political fortunes with the Democratic party at a time when the very mention of that party's name was anesthema to colored people. Frederick Douglas' famous utterance, "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea," was then fresh in the minds of the race. During the 30 years Bryan held the public forum he never once said anything that Negroes might construe as tending to ameliorate the Negro problem. At the Democratic Convention in New York in June, 1924, he lined up with the forces of the Ku Klux Klan. It was then he destroyed what was thought to be his last possible chance ever to win the admiration of Colored America. Without desiring it, or caring for it, however, the opportunity came during the Scopes trial. His great fight in that case endured him with the fundamentalists. He had championed "revealed religion." Any man who champions that cause champions a cause dear to the hearts of the race. It was but natural that previous dislike for him softened into admiration in a large measure. Although always thinking of William Jennings Bryan as training with the forces inimical to the race, Negroes still regarded him as a most able American. His death was a shock to the race. guard when he failed to halt in his attempted escape. A load of No. 4 shots peppered him in the back from head to waist, but none of them penetrated deep enough to prove serious.

The latter carried the advantage in avoirdupois, but the former made that up in fighting qualities. Some very good form was displayed by both ot the urchins and after the ga‘? was. going ‘for a few seconds, Kid Khaki was willing to call it a day and quit.

One of the fellows was a short fat guy and the other was a somewhat tall slimish bimbo. From what could be learned, they. were crabbing in opposite directions. Suddenly. the line of the tall slim fellow grew taut and came very near pulling him into the wet water below. He yelled out to his eompunion to hurry with the net because he had nailed in whale.

A reorganization of the Aeolian squad that trotted out on the field in the season of 1922 has been instituted. This team, with the Norfolk Athletic Club, the Serap- ping, Bookers and the Catholic eleven ought to furnish enough pigskin exeltement for those fans who are discriminating, and very particular about what-kind of games they sec. Last year, was the first time the Catholic Lora dunsed the toxs of the gridiron and they did not do so bad al that. ‘The Norfolk Athletic Chub and the Washington high schoo! aggregation went through the season in form that won many games for them.

What delight ean be derived by the Cans. from a combat where the odds are so great, in spite of the Suet that there are exceptions to rules and cases where men have wen ‘over opponents two claxses over them? You may rest. assured that it is one of those rare exeeptions and one of those ineidents that seldom happen. All of the preceding was saideto say this, and this to say that, and that to say those, and so forth and so on, until something: is eventually said that brings out what is intended, According to the baliyhoo, Dempsey and Harry Greb, middleweight king are matched to swap punches in a roped inelousre, sometime in September, in Michigan City, Ind. As was said, that’s’ the ballyhoo. Greb said that he had not rectived any offer to do battle with that mun Dempsey, but would conside> such a matter, providing there yas ‘8 good price attached to it, But that's not what 1 want to say, The whole blooming thing is this: howinell do these fellows get that way? It seems that Dempsey is picking the men he wants to fight, or he is associated with some promoter who is carefully picking them for him. Vil venture to say that there are only a few, and a parasitic few at that, who are interested in a Dempsey-Greb leather pushing fiasco. It he’s goin to light anybody before scrapping Wills, it sezms reason- able that he should take on Gene Tunney, who is a contender by virtue of the fact that he flopped one of Dempsey"s leading eontenders. The whole matter is this, our little champion has been so used to soft livin, soft pickings and other manners ot easy existing for the past two tyears or more, that he has lost some of that old time courage he was given credit for having and has, now, gone in for picking men who :S¥em to be set-ups to risk his title with. From this, he has ceaced to be that man mauler, legalized murderer, cruel and ‘villiunous padded $mitt assasinator he Onee enjoyed the reputation of heing. Instead of being that now, he’s « sneaking, yellow fighter who wishes to rest, on a flowery bed of ease asd fight as he desires, who he desires and when he desires. If these things are characteristic of « champion, T do not care to see at man who has not the qualification of having the olive leat cerown placed upon his brow, Grek has very-stim chances of whipping Dempsey and_ ofhers know this, Others know this as well asthe self-styled and unde- serving champion. No one enn fault Greb from takings on such a bout. He ix in the game to make mones, He would not have anything to lose in w tight of that kind. It would be another case of somegne having all to lose and nothing-to gain, Even if Dempsey seores a knockout, ax he should, it would be no more thin is expected of him.

No longer can a coach find no time to train a nimble and flee a quarterback all the special of his position.

Behind even now in a majority passes the quarterback was a general and "go between" the center-to the backfield. This was expressed by the Gilmore Doble, gridiron at Cornell University, in a speech before a coaching He said: "It takes too much to train a quarterback in all little speeches, but the best education institutes is to give less time to teams for practice.

I think he has a very important place in the game. His duties add distinct advantages which it is hard to get along without. "Especially in feeding the ball from center to the backs is the quarterback missed. With a quarter feeding the ball, the other backs get the ball in the same way, in the same place, at the same speed, every time. That makes for confidence. That back can take his attention off the ball and concentrate on running. "Nowadays, with most all plays being started by a direct pass from the center to the man who is to carry the ball, the runner has the added responsibility of making more bad passes from center. More bad passes from center, quarterback feeding, and the backs run with less decision and power." The small man, nimble and shifty, who could handle the ball quickly but lightly, used to win a place on the team by those qualities despite his handicap of size. Nowadays, he must be able to block and interfere for the runners, knowing that the other backs can do so, that he requires size and speed along with the other qualities. Another influence that brought about the difference in the functions of the quarterback was the forward passing game and the rule forbidding aiding the runner, according to Dobie. Formerly the quarter could feed the ball to his runner and then give the runner a throw to help him through the throw. The second game takes this function away if you have a quarterback feel the ball," said Dobie, "there is only one good method that I know of for his technique in taking the ball from center. He should not reach under the center nor stoop for the ball. This gives away the signal and enables the opposition to beat you to the charge. "The most effective method is to have the quarterback lean over the center and place his left hand on the center's hip. Then, when he is ready for the pass, he gives the ball to his thumb by pressing on his hip with his thumb. There is a signal that the other side cannot see and it does not give away the charge." Nowadays the quarterback is oft- not the field general. Some other player may pick the plays and call the signals, says Dobie, who played quarter and field general at University of Minnesota back in 1900 and 1901.

THE TENNIS CLUB OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE GLYMPIAN TENNIS CLUB OF ROANOKE, one of the largest and most progressive in the State. Numbered among its members is a former national champion. Dr. E. D. Downing, 11th from left on top row, and now a ranking player in doubles with Dr. McGriff. A large entry from this club to the Southeastern is expected. McGriff Reaches Final Round Of Local Meet Defeats P. B. Young jr., In Extra Set Match. Advanced To Finals to Meet Taylor, Conqueror of Watkins. Finals This Friday Largest Galleries of Season Witness Matches, Which Are Being Run Off With Dispatch. The largest tennis galleries of the season have witnessed the progress of the second annual club tournament, the Open, held on the club courts situated on Goff street, which advanced to the final round in singles Tuesday afternoon when Dr. J. L. McGriff of Portsmouth, former national doubles champion and now a ranking player in the first ten in singles and doubles, defeated P. Bernard Young jr., singles and doubles junior champion of Tidewater in the semi-finals in an extra set match, thereby advancing to the final bricket meet, where the victory jr. J. E. "Jock" Watkins on Monday afternoon advanced him to the final. The doubles competition for the club championship began Tuesday afternoon and will continue during the week while the singles final will be held over to Friday afternoon, thus allowing the doubles to advance to the final round if nothing interferes. Club officials announced that the final match for the club singles championship is it, which will be between McGriff and Taylor, and definitely for the final day, this week, and that the doubles finals would be held then if possible. The public has been invited to all of the matches. Matches Began Last Week Heavy rains last week prevented the beginning of play until a day after the scheduled date. The first matches were played last Friday, four being decided wholly or partially. Play continued thru Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the matches was scheduled for Wednesday a fter noon, but Thursday and Friday had the singles final and doubles play scheduled. How Finalists Reached The Championship Round Due to the fast that several of the members of the club were out of the city during the course of play, a number of defaults which otherwise would not have occurred were marked up. Dr. McGriff was matched with James. Hill in the first round, but advanced to the second and then to the third on defaults. In the third round he met "Stumpy" Robinson, advancing to the semi-finals. Robinson advanced to the third round by way of a bry in the first round and a victory over his jinx, Hilton Falks, in the second round. In the second round match with Faulkus Robinson the first set after a victory. The course 10-8, Faulkus ranged and won the second set 6-4 forcing Robinson at every advantage and maintaining the offensive. Darkness forced the calling off of the match until the next day, Saturday, when "Stumpy" was in his best form and quickly won the decided set, which was featured by Robinson's driving placements, at 6-2. Bohinson And McGriff ROOMS This put Robinson and McGrew in the right round, upper bracket. The match came off Saturday afternoon and was played a while in a drizzle of rain. The local star, McGrew, was 6-2, 6-4, but it was a hard match characterized by long rallies, stubbornly fought dued games, and frequent sizing drives from both players' race. The variety of attack and steadiness accounted in a large measure for Puts McGriff In Line For Young This put McGriff in line for the semi-final match with P. B. Young Jr., who had advanced to the semifinals by a bye, a default, and an extra set victory on Saturday over one of the club's stumps. Miles Young. Born Young was in his best form in the match with Miles Young, taking advantage of every opening at the net to score a point NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE STATE'S BEST TENNIS OF ROANOKE, one of the largest members is a former national champion ranking player in doubles with Davis expected. thes Final Of Local Meet on a smashing volley. His game as a whole possessed more all-round effectiveness than on any recent occasion. The match was close throughout, going to an extra set to decide the winner. In the first set Bernard Young lost but two games in taking the set, his severe service and net smashes taking a noticeable part in the result. In the next set, after leading at 3-1 the victor was thrown on the defensive by an aggressive net work of Miles Young who won five straight games, most of them deceived, to take the set at 6-1. Miles Young won a lead in the third set, but Bernard Young opened up a determined offensive and came from behind to win the deciding set at 6-1. McGriff Loses One Set McGriff won from Bernard Young, losing one set in the process, on Tuesday afternoon. The first set was close, neither player maintaining a comfortable lead up to the ninth game. With the count 4-3 in his favor Dr. McGriff lost and the count was evened at 4-4. From here, however, he demonstrated his superiority by taking the set. The second set Young went into the lead at 3-2 and was never headed, braking through Dr. McGriff's service to aid his way in winning the only set taken from the national star in any local tournament since tennis has been organized here. Young won 6-4, but realizing that his only chance to carry the match to extra sets, making a victory possible, was to win this set, he tired bimself. Consequently, though he tried hard and deceived some of Young, he succeeded the wizardry of McGriff's attack and defense from taking the final set at love. The complete count was 6-4, 4-6, 6-0. Taylor Wins in Lawer Bracket All of the above matches were in the upper half of the drawings, except Bernard Young's. Originally he was to play Taylor, but there being but three opponents in the semi-finals, he was shifted to McGriff. Taylor played several a matches, however, and clearly won his way to the semi-finals, defeating some of the best in the club. In his first match Taylor beat William McCoy. This was on Friday, and came off just as twilight was falling. It was an interesting match, but Taylor soon exhibited his control of the final result. He won 6-2, 6-0 in this match, then met John Maimor, who had beaten John Davis in a good extra set match, on Saturday. Maimor showed fine headwork but lacked the equipment of stroke. Taylor was forced to be devised sets on the better of the two men. Taylor had a change of pace, a better net game, and steadiness. The match was one of the most interesting of the tournament's play, going to Taylor 7-5, 8-6. John Davis had carried Mainon on Friday to three sets before he would acknowledge defeat. Mainon's top-spin drive was too tricky for Davis to handle and this account largely for the result. "Jock" Watkins Wins Taylor's next opponent was "Jock" Watkins, who had trained Taylor's round by a definite victory over George Ward. Watkins was hand-capped throughout the meet by a torn place on his hand that bleed during each of his matches. In Watkins match in the second round on Friday against Ward there was much interest. Here was a chance for revenge by Ward for a previous defeat last year at the hands of Watkins. Watkins was leading at 3-0 when Ward went ahead to 5-4, just a few points from taking the first set. Watkins rallied, however, deceived the set, and was forced to set the set of the tournament at 23, before jumping into the second set after taking the first 11-9. Then he tightened, opened up a driving game and a fast service and won five games, lost the lee and won sixth, and then took the next for the match at 11-9, 0-6, 6-1. His victory in the final set when troubled by his playing hand was notable. Taylor Wins In Straight Sets The match between Taylor and Watkins was played Monday.

A large entry from plause. The count was 6-1, 6-3. The match, on the other hand was harder fought than the score indicates. Very few placement aces were recorded. Both contestants resorted to a back court game, depending on their ground strokes to win for them the necessary points and prolonging the rallies for long periods in which the ball flew back and forth across the net until one or the other ered. Most of the points were counted on netted balls or by over-driving. Doubles Began Tuesday Doubles competition began Tuesday day when the defending champions Burke and Robinson won from Ward and Faulkins, 6-2, 8-6. Complete results of doubles and of the singles finals will appear in next week's issue. The increasing interest of the public in tennis in this section is encouraging.

WILLIAM E. CARTER WALTER GREENE Pres. Sons of Norfolk Pres. Sons of Portsmouth Locates His Protege; However And Siki Fellows Wife's Instructions And Knocks Out Francis. Monsieur Louis Phil, alias Battling Siki, singular, O, very singular Senegalace, nemesis of Parisian gendarmes, ex-bouncer of the Mont marie boulevards, Lion tamer and money fancier extraordinary, who, as the saying goes, is well known to the police of several cities, fought his first—and his last—fight in the thriving Township of West New York, N.J., the other night. The story is this: Mens, Siki was under contract to fight Jimmy Frames, a local product and West New York's best drawing card. Come the hour for weighing in, but no Siki in sight. Manager Bob Levy and Matchmaker Ben Bliven immediately started a manhunt for the absent one. They found him doing a war dance for a gang of kids at Forty second street and 8th avenue, and a trifle wooxy from the effect of some early afternoon imbibing. Messrs. Levy and Bliven beat a conscientious copper to the grab by an arm's length and bundled the battler off to his hotel, put him to bed and locked the door. Later in the day they brought him to deviate the unspikable precincts of Weehawk where the battler is wanted for jumping his hail on a disorderly conduct charge of three months standing. Two hours before the fight the battle was again among the missing. This time Mayer McNeil organized a posse of poes, firemen until citizens and made the rounds of the saloons of West New York and adjacent communities but to no avail. Meanwhile the public playgrounds where the fight was to take place were being filled by the first customers anxious to get the first tickets traditionally known Ski. With no word of the battle, Mayer McNeil visualized an impending disaster. Ten thousand fans present and the star of the show missing. Finally, Manager Levy scouted back to New York and there found his man asleep in his hotel. Siki wouldn't come back to Jersey unless his wife got a ringside seat. She came with him. Then he wouldn't fight unless he saw his share of the receipts dumped on her lap. Matchmaker Bliven emerged from the box office, his arms weighed down with a bundle of greenbacks aggregating $1,250 Mayor McNeil grabbed a towel from the ring and deposited the greenbacks therein on Mrs. Phal's lap.

Granite Monument Unveiled In Calvary Cemetery; Bronze Tablet Unveiled At Church. The Rev. Dr. Richard H. Bowling s., deceased, builder and former pastor of the imposing First Baptist Church of this City, was honored memorialized Sunday. He was memorialized in the words of prominent ministers and laymen; he was memorialized in a granite monument near his grave in Calvary cemetery; and he was memorialized in a tablet which now hangs on the wall of the main auditorium of the First Baptist Church. This was done because Sunday was Bowling Day. No memorial Sunday was Bowling Day, week-and-sunday celebration of the 125th anniversary of the massive Bute street house of worship. At the 11:30 morning service of the First Baptist Church Sunday, Rev. Liliana C. Hurdle, a native of Norfolk, who has gained prominence as an educator and minister in New Jersey, preached the Memorial sermon. His subject was "Ideals of Leadership" and he declared that it was "not because of poetic genius, oratorical eloquence, or prominence in community that Rev. Bowling achieved the things that now we honor him for, but because 'God knew him face to face.'" Rev. Hurdle praised, among other qualities, the originality, the deep power, the courage, and courthiness of the late divine. Inveil Monument at Cemetery From the church the members and many other visitors and local citizens went to Calvary cemetery, where Dr. A. G. Calvain delivered a forceful and profound unveiling sermon under a canopy of sombre, leaden sky where storm clouds gathered very threateningly during the exercises. Dr. Calvain described at length the character of the late Rev. H. Bowling, his business and stability of the granite shaft which was about to be unveiled to the noted former pastor of First Baptist. The children of Rev. Richard H. Bowling, jr., son of the late Rev. Bowling, pulled the cords that unveiled the monument, which appeared to be about ten or twelve feet in height, three feet in width, and one foot in depth. It was decorated but impressive withal. Many words of admiration were heard as the veil was pulled from the granite shaft. Dr. D. W. Byrd Speaks Sunday evening was devoted chiefly to addresses. Mr. George R. Moore outlined the business connections of Rev. Bowling; deceased; Mr. C. C. Dogan the welfare work of Rev. Bowling; Atty. J. M. Harrison, the athletic and recreational work; and Mr. James M. Collins the endeavors along partisan lines. Dr. Byrd, who was personal physician, neighbor, and friend of the former pastor, spoke very interestingly and forcefully concerning the life, the struggles, and characteristics of Dr. Bowling as he knew him from intimate contact. Dr. Byrd stressed the dignity and courtesy of Rev. Bowling, his ability to organize, his firmness in his convictions, and his God-like spirit. Officers On Program Mrs. Mary Fisher sang at the Sunday morning service; Prof. D. G. Jacoe introduced the morning speaker; Mr. Samuel Tucker spoke speaker; Mr. Jobbins Jobs spoke of the devotionals at the cemetery and Miss A. M. Poole presided.

He chose for a text, Dept. 34:10 and proceeded to deliver a most wonderful sermon which was replete with facts descriptive of the great and useful life of Dr. R. H. Bowling D. D., LL.D. L. At 1:15 p. m., the church staged a huge parade to Calvary Cemetery, where a mammoth monumen had been erected as a tribute from the church in memory to Dr. Bowling. Appropriate exercises were held and Dr. A. A. Galvin, a life-long friend, delivered the unwelling address which was conceded to be a masterpiece. The moussiton was also given by the Rebecca grand-daughters of the late Rev. R. H. Bowling and daughter of the present pastor, Rev. Richard H. Bowling. It is estimated that nearly two thousand people witnessed the sermon. The great crowd returned in night to do honor to the occasion of the unveiling of a beautiful tablet in the church further to perpetuate the memory of the orator, or pastor, who built and paid for the present spacious church edifice, Dr. R. H. Bowling sr. His associate in the various activities of endeavor made appropriate addresses which were greatly enjoyed Deacon Hezekih Anderson, the oldest officer, from the point of service, and who labored loyalty with Dr. Bowling during his twentieth anniversary, vaulted the tablet while the vast crowd arose to view the beautiful tablet. This day's service marked the climax of the splendid exercises of the 15th anniversary. REV. J. R. ASKWE TO PREACH Rev. J. R.

Religion and spirituality consist in taking life and nature as they are and making out of them all that God would have them become. Rural life needs spiritual values ‘not as substitutes forma: terial and monetary values but in addition to them. Men, need to nurture and cultivate spiritual val- ues just as they do their soil and banks accounts,” declared Dr. C. C. Taylor, dean of the Graduate Col- lege, North Carolina State Col- lege’ in a recent address to_ the members of the Hampton Institute Summer School. He added “IU is hetter for a man to own, plant and farm five acres of bis own Land, and get the rewards for his own accomplishment than t work twenty acres for someone else. Men cannot have complete self-respect and develop their full capacities and at the same time work for a person.” Dovtor Taylor made a strong plea for cooperation as a mutual aid which will help men in the art of practical life. “To ally your: selves with others voluntarily in a clearly seen common task is joy,” said Doctor Taylor; “to be dratted into such group action is slavery. In cooperation there is the possi- bility of real leadership. In cor. porate enterprise there is usually dictatorship. Ductor Taylor in x following ad- dress said: “Men and women in the class- rooms teach persons and not mere subjects, which at best are simply vehicles’ for the transmission of knowlede; teachers must teach men and women what they want them to bg, to do, and fo think; and teachers must teach people how to live, “The task of the. school is to tune in on life ax that life is lived and must be lived in the present day. We cannot really have progress without, educating all the people. Every educated man should have an ovcupation; should make # suc- cessful "go! of his occupation; and should be able to translate his prosperity into an abundant indi- vidual and community life.” Eastern Shore The Eastern Shore preachers’ meeting was held at Trehernes- ville, Va,, June 16, in Mt.

For years Stipion Jones has heen publicly re- garden as a_ virtually inseperable part of the Mosaic Templars. “The court order was a brief one which while it pliced a temporory restraint upon the Mosaic officers from drawing any funds for the purposes in litigation until ordered by the court, was based upon the oral statement of the Chancellor which went into the history of the order and indicated that in his opinion that it would be wise for the organization to complete the contract entered into with the Bush heirs. This contract which called for the sale of the copyright on the rituals which was held by the Bush family to the order for $150,- 000 and agreed in addition they should receive certain fees and roy- alties from the sales of the rituals, was entered into by the National Committee of Management in July 1905 but has never been ratified hy the National Grad ‘Temple.

While our group has not yet produced such stupendous enterprises a s those of the other race, we have made x wonderful headway in es- tablishing a number of businesses that are making histary for the race from a business standpoint and, at the same time, demonstra- ting that such enter prises can ren- der untold benefits to our race group slong ather lines than those of their immediate business spheres, Southern Aid Society For instance, the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., the oldest col- coved industrial benefit sick insur- ‘gnee company in the country, ren- ders a great personal service to thousands of policyholders by pay- jing: sick, accident und death claims, and to a small aamy of employees Semi ateing officers, auditors, sup: erintendents, agents and clerks. | But it renders a far greater serv- fice to a much larger number of jour group through its. eolliteral fnctivities and inspiration to. the youth of the race. } Pioneered Race Business It s not generally understood by our group, that the advent and de- Selopment of the colored insurance organizations largely made possible the suceoss of colored banke, phy- sicians, lawyers, drug stores, hso- pitals, real estate agents and other professional and business activities of the race. ‘These organizations deposit daily in race banks hun- dreds—yea, thousands of dollars. When they’ build or buy structurés ‘within which t conduct their own ‘business and, in many instances, to provide modern quarters for other ‘race enterprises, the colored con- ‘tractors and mechanics, lawyers and real estate agents are given jhusiness, Before the advent of ‘these organizations there were very few colored physicians and drug- gists and many of our people were ‘without means during periods ‘of ‘disability to pay for such services, sand, therefore, had to accept such provisions as were made by the city and county authorities—and these were invariably administered by ‘the other race, But now the hum- ‘blest home has a guaranteed in- ‘come in the hour of sickness’ or ‘disability—through the South ern Aid Society and other organizations and this makes them independent of charity and dictation from others—thus the race physician and druggist have an vpportunity ‘to serve and succeed. These illus~ ‘trations could be extended to a long list of our activities. but we will jterminate our review of the, soul- Tulness of such enterprises. by re- ferrin to one other great service the Southern Aid Society of Va. Inc., has rendered and is still ren- dering to our group. ‘The Society is a large contributor to schools, colleys, hospitals and other race charities, It thus makes it pos: sile for the youth of the race to be prepared for life's struggles and then opens doors of opportunities to them after they have equipped themselves to make a livelihood or to render a useful service to the race and the public in general.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE CO-OPERATING FOR "BETTER DAY" FOR COLORED FARMERS Tuskegee Institute Ten-Day Course In Agriculture Attended By 120 Boys And Girls. It is about ten years since the Tuskegee Institute has been cooperating with the United States of Agriculture through the Alabama Extension Service in endeavoring to provide for the "better day" that must inevitably come to Negro farmers both in the field and in the home. A regular course of studies in farm and home economics is scheduled and various Negro Agents, in the counties in Alabama where the Extension Service has its operation, are invited to come to Tuskegee for ten days and follow the regular student program, schooling laid down by the agricultural department at Tuskegee. A course for three years entitles the successful student to a certificate from the institution. The course this year extended from July 6 to 18 inclusive and saw 65 boys and 55 girls from several counties of the State. An older man and woman vied with the boys and girls to get into club work so as to get the inspiration from Tuskegee, the man coming from Elmore county in the person of C. W. Walker, 58, to learn better farming; and Rachel Jemerson, 45, from Dallas county, anxious to know cooking from a better angle. The course is given at the Children's House at Tuskegee Institute under the best achievers the institution can produce and the students have free access to all the girls of this advanced school of agriculture and home White Benefactors White Benefactors White people are in some cases the benefactors in helping these students, for from Bullock county came the largest number, 23, eleven of which were sent through white people who paid transportation and board expenses to Tuskegee. Every feature of farm life and home economics has been stressed and an insight into trades has been given. These students from the rural sections have been inspired by the movies; have been given taste for better school life; have been better school service should be in the future; a training that must necessarily be the eye-opener to them down the line. Other counties will follow Bullock in assisting the Negro boys and girls otherwise bent on migration, to stay at home and on the farm where life will be worth living when it is as exalted and advanced by better methods received at the Short Course. The county agents themselves have received the urge and have expressed themselves as determined to do more re-double their efforts with the farm where state agriculture is the backbone of civilization. The farm demonstration plot will be stressed as never before so as to make sure that the club boy and girl of today will be the demonstrator on the farm in the future. A similar consideration will be given by the home demonstration agent. Agents to Go To School A real school with its schedule and regular and punctual attendance was the feature of the Short Course for the men and women agents at Tuskegee, July 6 to 18 inclusive and every available facility for the dissemination of the information sent the agent back to his country pregnant with solutions for farm and home troubles, simultaneous with the schooling for the boys and girls. Not only did they have the teaching force of Tuskegee Institute to instruct them, but experts from the directorate at Auburn and Washington came to aid, a special feature of this term being the use of the photographic camera to tell the story. The appliance of electricity on the farm came to the agents from representatives of the Alabama State Company. They were in the State Fair, to be held in Montgomery in November made appeal for the cooperation of the agents in at least the five counties adjacent to Montgomery for exhibits. Among the subjects revived by the agents were, for the men: agricultural chemistry (stressing fertilizer formulas); the use of the farm level for terracing; mixing of varieties of sprays; kodakaking with a view to enabling the agents to better tell the story; farm crops (stressing the sweet potato as a money crop). With the women the following subjects were attacked; cooking and cake dressing; belt making; designs for bed spreads; shirt making; poultry tailsing; culling of selection of varieties, etc. T. M. Campbell, Field Agent of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and his official staff of supervisors were in evidence during the period and lent much assistance to J. E. Whitfield, assistant director of agriculture of Tuskegee Institute, who was responsible for the schedule of work mapped out for the Short Course students, both junior and senior.

Replies are coming in rapidly to the office of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association in response to a letter which was sent by Dr. Wm. Smith, executive Secretary of the Association to over three thousand industries in the State.

Dr. Smith points out that a physical examination is of especial value in detecting tuberculosis before the disease is in an advanced stage, thus saving much time and expense and preventing the infection of others. He also states that while tuberculosis is a curable disease, the person who has it is often beaten and preventing the infection before he consults a doctor.

RICHMOND Journal and Guide Burzan ROBERT A. CRUMP 1212 St. John St. National Play Director Visits In Richmond Richmond, Va.-Geo. L. Johnson, representative of the National Playground and Recreation Association of America, who says he is an apostle of play, expressed the belief that one side of man's life has been sorcey nuggeted in the past because of the lack of the development of the idea of play. This very thought, he says, on the part of a small group of people some thirty old years ago, is the direct cause of the very existence of the Playground and Recreation Association as it is today. Mr. Johnson not only proved himself to be an apostle of play by going around to the different playgrounds with the supervisor, Mrs. Alice H. Harris, and directing the play and pointing out numerous ways of improving the development of the children of the citizens, at whose door he laid the responsibility for the continuance and growth of the playground but he proved himself to be a singer of excellent qualities. He gave a splendid lecture on the history and origin of Negro spirituals, a number of which he sang most beautifully.

WITHIN HIS OWN WITHIN HIS OWN RIGHTS As the reporter of this paper for this city, I have nothing to do with private piques and quarrels, but when any other than editor of this paper calls me down for not saying anything about his private business, I assume it my duty to explain. Personally, I have nothing to say about any one, nor his business, but some times. I stoop to honor another. The other day, the Rev. Mr. J. I. Posey game into my office and called me down for not having mentioned his private Boys Center in my name for quite a while and didn't know why. He was in his own rights. But he had told me that he would not have any thing to do with the paper. I did not object. He would not subscribe for it not read it. How did he know what had not been mentioned in it? I used to mention his Center as long as I thought it, a Boys Center. I am not the man to mention things that seemingly do not appeal to me as being real. He is not within his rights when he ventures to attack me for what he does not know for what to mention. If he does not like this paper, he simply fails to like a good thing. He does not even seem us his church news. I will gladly send in any real news from any person, but you needn't call me or not nothing. The Center is owned and controlled by Rev. Posey, and a man am concerned. He may make it clear that any thing he does SATURDAY, AEG potter. — While here, Mr. Wiley was entertained by ni scott, Mrs. Mary Lillian Loe, Mrs. Cecil and would have been beers had her time been washed — The Musical Court Prof. Tate Monday passed all others that the pupils has ever given crowd witnessed the IN OUR CHURCH Macedonia, A.

Save the pennies. The dollars will save themselves. A college education is a handy thing to have about you these days. Dorrence Brooks was only a private in the Fighting Fifteenth but New York City has given a square his name. Dorrence Brooks Square, if you please. What does General Robert Lee Bullard think of that? New York City has a population of some 9,000,000 persons, divided into four boroughs and representing some of all the races on earth. They are the most intelligent, wealthy and broadminded people in the Nation. They lead the Nation in everything, from University to slum life. --- The efforts of the Interracial Commission at Houston, Texas, to secure the appointment of some Afro-American policemen is a movement in the right direction. We should have such representation on the police force in all the cities of the South. We have a few in most of the large cities of the North and West when we are a considerable number of the population. --- Some people have good luck and some have hard luck. The two are not in the same class. Miss Amelia Stuart of Trenton, N. J., who was raised in a white family as one of its members, was left an estate worth $50,000 by Mrs. Woodward, one of two sisters. Relatives contested the will but the final court has just decided the case in favor of Miss Stuart. Fifty thousand dollars is a nice bunch of money to possess. The Duyton trial did not prove that man descended from the ape or that the ape ascended from the man or that man was created as described in the first chapter of Genesis, but it did prove that John T. Scopes did violate a law of Tennessee in teaching the principles of evolution in a public school of the State. He was fined $100, and the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the States to test the constitutionality of the law and may even reach the Federal Supreme Court. Congress will be asked to enact a law like that of Tennessee, but few expect that it will do anything so foolish. Freedom of religious worship is a peculiar inheritance of the people of the United States and they are not going to allow ignorant cranks and fanatics to destroy it. We do not appear to get anywhere in the distribution of Federal offices at Washington. Indeed, we seem to be systematically ignored. It may be because we have no political leadership, as Prof. Kelly Miller laments, but it is primarily because we have quite ceased to be a political issue. We are being left to help ourselves as others do. The Republican party is no longer "the ship and all else the ocean" for the race, if it ever was. It is only just so much to us as we are in any given situation in a position to constrain it to be. Political favors just like bananas have their price; if you have not the price you get nothing. The Czar of Washington To Be Called To Account None of us has any faith in Congressman Blanton of Texas, who is constantly stirring up one sort of strife and another, but we are bound to make a note of it when the announcement is made that he objects to Lieut.-Col. C. O. Sherrill of North Carolina, and will make him the subject of Congressional inquiry and investigation. Congressman Blanton has discovered that Col. Sherrill is a real Czar in Washington. He is Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, is disbursing officer of eleven commissions, and has under his command an army of several hundred guards and civilians. Col. Sherrill has been a constant thorn in the side of the Afro-American residents of the District of Columbia. He has striven to draw the color line in the public parks and in the public departments and in the bathing privileges of the District, seeking to shut our group by itself according to his pleasure, and is said to be responsible for giving the ku klux klan permission to hold a convention in Washington and to parade past the White House and hold ceremonies at the foot of the Washington Monument. From all accounts, as far as our group is concerned, 'Col. Sherill is a bad egg, and if Congressman Blauton can reduce him to his proper dimensions he will serve us as a good turn without designing to so do. President Coolidge Wants a Third Term The office no longer seeks the mum. Cincinnatus would still be following his plow if he lived in these times and waited for his fellow-citizens to call on him and insist that he take up affairs of State for them. In the matter of public office men now know what they want and go after it with the subtlety of the Beast and the persistence of the Furies. And all of the time they assume the attitude of Caesar of waving away the crown as something they disdain. At a time when the newspapers are insisting that President Coolidge is anxious to succeed himself in the White House, and is doing all he can without showing his hand to secure administration Senators to succeed the late Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin and Senator Ladd of North Dakota, and to make sure of the re-election of Senator Butler of Massachusetts and Senator Wardsworth of New York, announcement is made that Former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois is being groomed by the Radicals of the Central and Northwest as their candidate for the Republican nomination. Governor Lowden is one of those who failed along with General Leonard Wood to capture the nomination at Cleveland last year. He is a strong man and has plenty of money and will be a formidable contestant if he decides to enter the race. The West and Northwestern Radicals whom Senators LaFollette and Ladd represented are said to be dissatisfied and ready to defeat the aspirations of President Coolidge, if possible, to succeed himself. The next Congress will open without the presence of one commanding statesman on the Republican or Democratic side of the Senate or House. They have all been tried out and fallen far short of the requirements of statesmanship, and may be classed as politicians, who are always Opportunists. The deaths of Senators Lodge, Brandergee, McCormick, LaFollette and Ladd, left the Republicans hopelessly crippled since the adjournment of Congress, while the retirement of Senator Underwood of Alabama and the self-effacement of Senator Glass of Virginia, leave politicians after the order of Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Senator Heflin of Alabama as the Democratic spokesmen. The Democratic party is hopelessly demoralized while the Republican party is seething with personal and factional troubles which are bound to make themselves felt when Congress convenes. Teaching Farming The Agricultural Department of Tuskegee Institute, the Alabama Extension Service and the United States Department of Agriculture are cooperating in intensive efforts to give Negro boys and girls of the South a new vision on farming and farm life. Their efforts are centered in a ten-day course in agriculture given at the school to boys and girls, men and women not regularly enrolled at the Institute. One hundred and thirty students have just returned to their homes after pursuing the course which is intended, its sponsors say, "to provide for the better day that must inevitably come to the Negro farmers both in the field and home and to assist Negro boys and girls, otherwise bent on migration, to stay at home and on the farm, where life will be worth living when better farming methods are employed." County Home and Farm Demonstration Agents of Alabama are said to have determined to redouble their efforts with the boys and girls "since agriculture is the backbone of civilization." These educational agencies are embarked upon a high purpose. The potential benefits of their efforts to this Nation cannot be overestimated. Reports from Northern and Western urban centers indicate that the labor market in industry has reached the saturation point and employment is quite general. Congested cities in the border states are having their labor and housing difficulties. If the youth of the rural communities are given a new vision on country life, if through proper training in the best farm methods they bring about a revival of interest in agriculture the flow of man power from the fields to the factories will be checked; the country's food supply doubled, and its social disorders minimized. Norfolk Journal and Guide No teacher of colored youth, nor any person or agency having the opportunity of influencing youth's outlook on life, need hesitate to encourage colored boys and girls to become farmers, farmers in their own rights by virtue of ownership. Said Dr. C. C. Taylor, dean of the Graduate College, of North Carolina State College, in a recent address to a group of ministers, teachers and farmers at Hampton Institute: "It is better for a man to own, plan and farm five acres of his own land and get the rewards from his own accomplishment than to work twenty acres for someone else. Men cannot have complete self-respect and develop their full capacities and at the same time work for a person." That is putting strongly a patent truth. If our race is to reach a well balanced status in the realm of material accomplishments and possessions, we must bear in mind the great relation of farming to the economic strength of Nations and races. Educational Aspects of the Science and Religion Clash The most destructive fires in history have been started by a small spark. In the lives of most people it has been found, some small flaw in an otherwise well balanced makeup has at a critical moment destroyed the usefulness of those concerned. "A little child shall lead them," He said, and that is true of most of us, although we are not conscious of it. It shows in the results, based upon foolish small things of which a grownup is ashamed to acknowledge himself guilty. And the seaman does not disregard the small black cloud way off yonder which may be the sign of a big storm coming. That is to say, the little things make the big things, and he who ignores the little things will not be able to control the big things. Most of us know that by hard experience. It should not be surprising, therefore, that the State of Tennessee, which is not noted for the education of its average citizen, and may be classed as a backward State in matters of education and the mastery of the higher reaches of learning, should have become the storm center of world-wide interest in the trial of an obscure school teacher for violating a law of the State prohibiting the teaching of evolution, or the Darwinian theory of the descent of man as opposed to the Biblical theory. The whole world is interested in the trial, based on a law passed by a legislature most of whose members never passed a high school examination and the jury of which contains one man who can't read and eleven who can do little more than read. We should not reasonably look to such a legislature to pass judgment on the high merits of science and religion as against the findings of scientists. It amounts to an attempt to place fetters on the mind of man and to regulate his conscience in matters of religion by law. Our system of government was built upon the principle, among others, that church and state should remain separate and that there should be placed no restrictions upon the freedom of religious worship. History shows that the bloodiest pages are those written about the efforts to make others believe as you believe and to torture and murder them if they will not. It may be well that this world-wide question should have been raised by the legislature of Tennessee and should be determined by a jury of average ignorance in a little town called Dayton. It may be well that so vital and great a question should come up in an obscure backwoods corner of the world. The newspapers of the world, and the magazines and books on science and religion, have given the Dayton trial a consideration worthy of the question, so that the average citizen has been forced to look up the subject and make himself familiar with it insofar as to be able to answer when his neighbor questions him and he would not appear densely ignorant. The question has been forced under every one's nose and he has been constrained to take notice of it. Because the Scopes trial has been of such a character as to challenge the attention of enlightened mankind, encouraging people to read their Bibles more generally and closely and to study the question of evolution in its anthropological and metaphysical aspects so as to have some understanding of it, it should serve a good and helpful purpose, and we think that will be one of the outcomes of it, however the trial ends. If it should lead to more religious intolerance and the adoption by other states of laws in restraint of religious freedom of thought, as many fear, it will be a sorry day for the people of the United States, as a war of religious intolerance and persecution would be the most unspeakably horrible of domestic calamities. And we all have Ab-Ra-Ham for father, and Ham was not the white son of Noah nor was Ra the sun god of Egypt a white gentleman. So there you are, Mr. White Man, with a Black Man for spiritual father of us all. The Rev. W. H. Moses, Says Scopes Trial Aids Religion What seems to be the first published modernist viewpoint on the Scopes evolution trial and the questions at issue in that trial expressed by a colored minister comes from Dr. W. H. Moses, campaign director of the National Baptist Convention and a nationally known divine. Dr. Moses in company with a group of colored preachers, teachers, students, professors and doctors from Chattanooga, Tenn., attended the trial. His views concerning the questions at issue in that now famous case were published in last week's issue of the Pittsburgh Courier. According to the Pittsburgh paper, Dr. Moses wrote: "Well, I was somewhat surprised at the town and the fine spirit of the simple white folks of this section. The average white person we meet seems to be unlettered but kind and well meaning, they talk to you. There seems to be an absence of the spirit of extreme Jim-Crowism. There was no segregation in the court house as is the case in most sections of the South. This is East Tennessee which never left the Union. It is Republican in politics and Negroes take part. all races and classes and public utilities are to all the people the boasted fundamental. "The surprising thing is how many learned history can become Mr. Bryan. And yet same thing in men Brownlow of East T John A. Broadus and Southern preachers tors who believed in for human slavery. Baptist, Methodist an "There are a few distressed anti-evolutionists with pamphlets and monkey pictures who seem to have come with the purpose of saving God and the human race from science. They seem exceedingly anxious to collect colored Christians for campaign purposes throughout the country to help save the world from the doctrine of evolution. The newspaper men of the country seem to be in favor of the evolutionist. The Associated Press was anxious to know the reaction of the controversy on our group. "We expressed the opinion that it would be helpful on the younger generation. The colored group of ministers as a whole during the past generation have not had the opportunity for broad culture which would enable them to harmonize the theological dogmas of what is called the church fathers of fifteen hundred years ago with the larger learning which has revolutionized modern thinking, and for that reason they have been proverbially hostile to science. The college Negro on that account has been prejudiced from Negro preachers and the religion of their fathers to a very harmful degree. The tendency has been to ignore religion altogether because they thought or think religion is hostile to science and must depend upon obituary authorities and play upon ignorance to maintain itself. This trial which is attracting world wide attention will evidently demonstrate that Christianity is strengthened by science rather than weakened. Jesus has well said, "When the spirit has come He will guide you into all truth. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Vexes Orthodox Churches "It is not expected that this new wine of modern interpretation can be put into old bottles. White and black Christians who have believed profoundly in God acting otherwise than through the laws of cause and effect will be vexed and distressed by the seeming departure from the old path. They will doubtless be inclined to show bitter intolerance for a while but it will pass away as the hostility of Jewish theology in Jesus' day has been slowly passing away, and giving first place to the advance of views of Jesus which took precedence over those of Moses. It is encouraging to know that a person may be a very good Christion without understanding the philosophy of Christian doctrine. Phillip did not understand the doctrine of the fatherhood of God, and said to Jesus show us the Father and we will be satisfied. When Jesus informed him that he had seen the Father he became more confused than ever but Jesus did not reject him on that account. He simply ordered him to help him do the work of saving people from missing the fruits of the spirit. Religious Interest Revived "This trial is in my opinion a revival of interest in religion both within our churches and our schools and the world. "One of the most pitiful things about this trial is that many people who love the Lord and His word are of the opinion that the believers in evolution are endeavoring to destroy faith in the Bible and rob God of His glory. The clergy of Europe have passed that period long ago. The northern part of the United States about which people seem to be uneasy or fearful lest they lose the spirit of Christ because of science is undoubtedly more Christian in practice of fellowship than the Southern section. Schools of learning are open to Thinks It Helpful Saturday, August 1, 1925. all races and classes, hospitals and public utilities are more open to all the people than in our boasted fundamental sections. "The surprising thing to me is how men learned in law and history can become bigots like Mr. Bryan. And yet we see the same thing in men like Parson Brownlow of East Tennessee, John A. Broadus and other able Southern preachers and educators who believed in and fought for human slavery. In fact, the Baptist, Methodist and other denominational groups divided over the slavery question. "There are those to whom the objection to the judge having his court opened with prayer seemed a sacrilege but the objection was predicated not on hostility to prayer. It was objection to prayer being used to create an atmosphere favorable for putting over views about which there was a difference of opinion. Prayer is very often used in our churches as a means for getting back at somebody and winning a point by pretending that their guilt is admitted before God. Jesus offered the same criticism against the Pharasces who sat in Moses' seat and offered long prayers. He urged them to pray to their Father who is in secret. "I repeat in my opinion this trial of modern Christianity in the crucible of fact and fellowship is clearing the atmosphere and enabling us to get back to first principles, and restore confidence of the darker races in the Christianity of the white group of the world in general and America in particular." Health Notes Marriage and Social Diseases A recent report of the Veinna Marrige Consultation Bureau, a sub-department of the municipal public health service, shows that 18.7 per cent of the persons applying to the Bureau for information and advice are infected with a venereal disease. The Bureau upon recent completion of two years of evidently successful service is of the opinion that the value of the service rendered by it is in the dissemination of proper information concerning venereal diseases and the serious danger of marriage in such cases. In the United States, according to the U. S. Public Health Service, seven states, require a medical certificate before marriage, and fourteen states, while without such a requirement have laws which aim to prevent venereal disease infection through marriage. Care of Mothers Urged Care of Mothers Urged Medical and social leaders of France are stressing the demand that expectant mothers should have adequate medical care, and that, therefore, it is essential to make compulsory the early notification of pregnancy, so that venereal affliction, when present, may be detected and the coincident danger to the unborn child prevented. It is not sufficient to protect the child only from the moment of its birth, as, according to Prof. A. Couvelaire, of the Baudeloque Hospital of Paris, 41 per cent of the deaths of infants during pregnancy are due to syphilis. There is considerable evidence that the number of such deaths may be greatly reduced by timely examination and care of expectant mothers. Similarly the Conference of Veneerale Disease Control Officers of the State Health Departments and the United States Public Health Service, held at Hot Springs, Arkansas, in December of last year, urged that special attention to all details should be given in the "treatment of women, because of the possibility of the transmission of the disease to the child."

YOUR EYES THE RAYS Evolutionists Repudiate Evolution Mr. Whittlesey, writing in the Virginian-Pilot Monday morning, July 27, gave a small part of Darwin's death bed confession, but since he favors evolution, he like most of those who do favor it, very carefully suppressed what Lady Hope wrote about this subject. Sir Oliver Lodge, who believes in ghosts and haunts also, had his picture in the papers in the last week and was talking "mighty big" about refusing to discuss evolution because it was a "scientific fact." Since when did evolution graduate from the school of theories and get its diploma as a "scientific fact?" That would be news to Darwin, Sir Oliver could get in communication and notify him that the scholars, without scientific proof, have agreed that his eight hundred "we-may-well supposes" have been promoted into "scientific facts." It is this kind of "assumption without proof" that is discrediting science. Science is invincible so long as it follows its facts. It often becomes absurd when it leaves facts for theories and especially when Godless scientists, writing to discredit God's unerring record in Genesis deny that record, and when you ask them for proof that Moses is in error, they loftily inform you the "scholars are agreed" about it. Now I promised last week to give Darwin's dying bed confession. I gave what he wrote in the first edition of his "Descent of Man," showed that although he said man hung in a tree by a tail, and before that they (forefathers of man) were amphibians—that is they lived in water, were really "water dogs," that he changed that conviction, which he said there was no doubt about, before he published his second edition. Now in this issue I am going to quote Darwin, and Spencer, leading inventors, champions, advocates and defenders of evolution and show from their own lips or writings that they made fatal admissions or open disavowals of evolution. In another article I will quote a number of leading scientists of the first rank who have always rejected evolution as unproved, unprovable and absurd. Of course parrot teachers in little schools will still hold on to it because they were taught it by fourth rate teachers. But in the light of those death bed confessions how any real well-informed man can say "the scholars or scientists are agreed" on evolution passes my comprehension. Now for the rest of Lady Hope's report of Darwin's last days. Lady Hope is an English lady. She spoke to a large audience at Northfield, Mass., August 15, 1915 on "Darwin's Religious Life." Her address was subsequently published in the Watchman-Examiner, a white Baptist paper I used to write for years ago. The article was written by her own hand and is therefore authentic. She says: "It was one of those glorious autumn afternoons we sometimes enjoy in England, when I was asked to go and sit with the well-known professor, Charles Darwin. He was almost bedridden for some months before he died. I used to feel when I saw him that his fine presence would make a great picture for our Royal Academy but never did I think sq more strongly than on this particular occasion. He was sitting up in bed, wearing a soft embroidered gown of rather a rich purple shade. Propped up by pillows he was gazing on in a far stretching scene of woods which glowed in the light of one of those marvelous sunsets which are the beauty of Kent and Surry. His noble forehead and fine features seemed to be lit up with pleasure as I entered the room. He waved his hand toward the window as he pointed out the scene beyond, while in the other hand he held an open Bible which he was always studying. What are you reading now? I asked as I seated myself by his bedside 'Hebrews,' he answered. The Royal Book, I call it. Isn't it grand? Then placing his fingers on certain passages, he commented on them. I made some strong opinions expressed by many persons on the history Spencer Regret need the protector by the scientist rected "HALLID tering eyes.
