Porter, Benjamin Green and Carr Injured A party of five prominent persons narrowly escaped death Tuesday, three of whom sustained serious injuries, when a closed sedan automobile in which they were touring from Asheville, N. C., to Knoxville, Tenn., plunged 250 feet down the side of a mountain, and turned over with the occupants caged inside, states a special wire to this newspaper from Asheville, N. C. The party included Benjamin Green, Mayor of Mound Bayou, Miss.; Webster L. Porter, editor and publisher of the East Tennessee News, Knoxville, Tenn.; John D. Carr, editor of the Asheville Enterprise, Asheville, N. C.; Fred Miller, agent for the National Life Insurance Company, Knoxville; Mrs. Miller and Mr. Seymour, field secretary of the Humane Educational Society.

Afraid Of The "Ghost"OfMan He Killed Afraid Of The "Ghost"OfMan He Killed Claude Coward, of Lennoir county, N. C. killed a man and was fortunate enough to get off with a sentence on the county roads for his crime. Claude does not consider himself lucky, however, for he is convinced that the ghost of his victim has been persisted tently "hunting" him since the killing. Coward has been a model prisoner, say the camp guards, and has been promoted to be a trusty, but he positively refuses to go abroad after sunset on any mission he might be sent as a trusty. "Ghosts," are responsible for Coward's fear of the dark. Occasionally in the midst of sleeping the "hainted" man is said to scream. His cries, arousing his companions, puts the "spirit" visitor to flight. BUS BECOMES HOME Ashbury, Eng. — The Council has permitted Mr. and Mrs. Stanley G.

An instance of the most inhuman treatment is alleged in the testimony of a white youth named Gainey against two white men, all of Johnston county, N. C., whom the youth charges with having held him over a burning stump on the night of March 26, last until he was virtually cooked. The accused men, Marvin and Mann Thornton were bound over to Superior Court in the sum of $2,000 each when they were given a preliminary hearing before Recorder Ezra Parker last week. The victim of the alleged assault is maintained for life and is not yet considered out of danger. He spent two months in the hospital undergoing treatment and has suffered greatly from his burns. The only testimony offered by the State at the preliminary hearing was that of the prosecuting witness and the defense didn't put in any evidence. Young Woman Dies While Drinking Water Miss Alberta Ross, age 20, died Thursday morning at her home 661 Fox Lane, while standing at the sink drinking water. She had been for 20 months physically afflicted so that drinking water aggrivated her condition and oftimes threw her into violent manical capers, according to her mother. Her condition seemed to puzzle the best physicians, said Mrs. Ross. She stated that every precaution had to be used so as to keep her daughter from drinking water, except when it was absolutely necessary to drink it to live. Invariably after drinking water, the young woman had to be tied with strong ropes to prevent her from racing into the streets, said her mother. Following the young woman's death, it was at first reported that she drowned in a pan of water at the sink. Mrs. Ross states the report was incorrect, and said that her daughter was drinking from the pan, when the water threw her into a violent convulsion from which she died. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 GARVEY DEFENDED BY MAJOR COX AS "A GREAT LEADER" Admits Black Star Crash Was "Financial Loss," And Blames Rivals, Jews And Catholics For Conviction. WANTS AMENDMENT TO DEPORT NEGROES That there is considerable Garvey propaganda behind the "White America" movement as fostered by the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, is revealed in answers to five questions recently put to Major Earnest S. Cox of Richmond, by the Journal and Guide. Erection of an alibi for Garvey's gigantic Black Star line crash; blame upon rival organizations, Jews and Catholics for his conviction, proposal to force colonization of twelve million American Negroes in Liberia, Africa, through a constitutional amendment are some of the high lights in Mr. Cox's amazing letter. Questions and Answers The questions asked Major Cox by the Journal and Guide and his answers are as follows: 1st Question—"What is your opinion of the outcome of Garvey's Black Star Line venture?" Answer—I understand the matters is still pending before the courts but I think it is recognized that there was a financial loss. Garvey, in a magazine article several months ago, went into the matter. The Black Star Line venture was about the time when many business ventures were failing but I do not know what the relation was between the great financial depression and Garvey's shipline: 2nd Question—"Do you believe that he received a fair trial?" Answer—Judges of the court of appeal sustained the finding of the lower court and I cannot believe that the judges of the higher court were incited by prejudice. The trouble with the Garvey trial, judging as a layman without intention of adversely criticising the court, was that Garvey was permitted to plead his own case and had for his opponents men well trained in court evidence and procedure. Also I understand that the judge who tried him was either a member of or a contributor to $p$ National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Garvey had been charged with some form of alliance with the Ku Klux Klan and I understand that Roman Catholics and Jews were on the jury. Were I a member of the Klan, which I am not, or were I supposed to be a member of it, I would have grave doubts as to justice being meted if I were being tried by a court where the judge is a Jew and jurors Catholics and Jews. The judge and the jury might be the most honorable of men but I would not want to trust human judgment under such circumstances. 3rd Question—"Are you aware that he was prosecuted by members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association?" Answer—The original charge we were instituted by leaders of rival organizations or business enterprises, I am informed. I am aware that certain members of his own organization were used as witnesses, but other members paid his fines and the court costs. The opposition to a leader by one or more of his followers is a common occurrence. It does not necessarily carry with it guilt nor does it prove (Continued on Page Six) IMPORTANT NOTICE In order to receive prompt attention all correspondence intended for publication should be addressed to the Norfolk Journal and Guide and not to individuals connected with the paper.

GARVEY WILLING TO LEAVE COUNTRY IF HE IS LIBERATED Signs Copious Document In Which He Petitions Government For Pardon; Suffering From Bronchial Asthma. The balmy climes of the West Indian Islands, or a life under foreign flags which he has so vociferously denounced is withal, more preferable than life in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, thinks Marcus Garvey, who is serving a five-year term in prison for fraudulent use of the United States Mails, according to an article appearing in the last issue of the Chicago Whip, which states that the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has just issued a copious document of 51 closely typewritten pages in which he importunes the Government for a pardon and promises to leave the country, if given time to straighten out his business affairs. According to the Whip, in his petition Garvey savagely attacks the N. A. A. C. P., the Crisis and Dubois, its editor and the "Venal Negro Press," led by the Baltimore Afro-American and the Chicago Defender. His first wife, Amy Ashwood Garvey, whom he describes as "a woman of tender and questionable virtue," also comes in for some criticism. Admits Klan Conference Mr. Garvey, according to the Chicago newspaper, admits that he had a two hour conference with (Continued on page 3). Farmer Says It Rained Fish In His Field A majority of people have heard the saying that it rains worms. The fact that worms are usually scattered around after a hard rain gave rise to that legend. But to have someone declare that it actually rained fish is a new and novel sensation. However, that is what Alexander Blizzard, a reputed reliable and respectable farmer who lives near Holland, Va., claims happened last Friday during a rain storm. The reputable Mr. Blizzard claims to have proof of his discovery in that he has the fish. In relating the story of his discovery the day after the storm, the farmer says that he picked up a live fish after the storm while it was flirting around in a frolicsome way in his corn field. Mr. Blizzard is certain that the fish came straight from the clouds, according to those who are said to have heard his story. There was no other way for the fish to get to the corn field at that time, says the farmer, since no one went into the field after the storm before he did. It was impossible for the fish to have been there before, for it was dry prior to the storm. The fish is about three inches long, a whit larger than the average minnow, and looks genuine. Blizzard knew there would be a lot of persons who would place little faith in the story, so he kept the fish and firmly believes that it really rained fish near Holland last Friday. SAYS MILLIONS OF CAROLINIANS HAVE NO HOMES OR LAND White Share-Croppers Far Out-number Colored, Declares Dr. Brinson of the University of N. Carolina. SAYS LIKE CONDITION PERMEATES SOUTH Contrary to accepted opinion Negro share-croppers in North Carolina are far in the minority of the whites, according to Dr. E. C. Brinson, of the faculty of the University of North Carolina, who in a recent address before the public welfare institutes at Chapel Hill, N. C., made the startling declaration that 1,241,000 citizens of the State do not own a single inch, of ground they cultivate, nor a shingle of the roof over their heads. White Problem "The problem of excessive tenancy, which is the problem of the landless and homeless countryman, is not a Negro problem. It is primarily a white problem; for throughout the South the white tenants and croppers outnumber the Negroes. Three-fourths of all the farmers are tenants. They move from pillar to post from Dan to Bersheba and back again. They make a restless, roving, irresponsible element of citizenship. They seem to present a hopeless problem. But it is one which you cannot forget. If you have any real religion in you, you cannot give up the problem. The children of these tenants present such a picture of neglect that if you are really interested in the slightest in making this little earth called a safer place for children to be born into, you must help to solve," declared Dr. Brinson. "The problem of the landless, hopeless people of the state is one which must be reckoned with some day," he continued. "Our civilization is so grounded in the home loving, home owning instinct that the remedy will come through creating a more satisfying civilization, especially a satisfying country civilization, for a large proportion of our landless, homeless population live in the open country." Compares Denmark Dr. Branson compared conditions in North Carolina with those in Denmark, where he lately spent many months. "There are," he said, "no problems of home ownership nor are there problems of illiteracy. They have instilled within their very beings a thrift which compels them to own their own homes. This feeling for the essential power of thrift is largely lacking among our American people today. They see the immediate needs and forget that they should be willing to forego them in view of more permanent things. The average American sees what he wants and gets it, whether it be bread, bonnets or paragoric. It is from this widespread lack of thrift that our own problem of farm and home ownership arises. DEFENDS THE LASH IN PRISON CAMPS DEFENDS THE LASH IN PRISON CAMPS Judges, grand juries and public-spirited citizens of North Carolina have recently denounced corporal punishment in county prison camps of the State, but a defender of the lash has been found in J. E. Minms, Wake county jailer, says a Raleigh news dispatch. In commenting on the poor financial condition of the State's penal system Minms is alleged to have said, the prisons are partly supported by the work of criminals and Mimms believes in the power of the lash to make them work. He does not believe that there is another punishment so effective. He claims that the abuses of whipping are not in the act itself, but in the employment of brutal supervisors. He would hire supervisors with kinder hearts, get him some whips and remove the deficit which the jail suffers from. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Heads Musicians R. NATHANIEL DETT RACE MUST GIVE BETTER MUSICIANS DECLARES N. DETT Famous Composer-Pianist, President of National Association of Negro Musicians Delivers Annual Address. "The requirement of the times today is that all those who are called Negroes must be better men and women; the responsibility which our rich heritage of folk music imposes is that the Race must produce better musicians," affirmed Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, president of the National Association of Negro Musicians and Director of Music at Hampton Institute, in an address before the recent session of the musical association at Indianapolis, Indiana. His message in its entirety fol- His message in its entirety follows: "The National Association of Negro Musicians, incorporated, has significance only as it encourages, stimulates, helps or compels Negroes who are musicians to become better. The highest function of the arts, of which music is undoubtedly sublime, is the advancement and development of character through self-expression. The requirement of the times today is that all those who are called Negroes must be better men and women; the responsibility which our rich heritage of folk music im- SAYS HE WILL ASK DEATH PENALTY IN CUARDSMAN'S CASE Man Charged With Assault With Intent to Rape Out On $7,500 Bail; Solicitor Indicates Vigorous Prosecution. The death penalty is going to be asked for Major Wade H. Bowman (white) commander of the second squadron of the North Carolina Cavalry, at the November term of the Catawba County Superior Court, says Solicitor Huffman. Bowman is charged with assault with intent to commit rape on a 12 year old girl. Bowman was released on $7,500 bond by Recorder M. H. Yount late on the afternoon of July 31, probable cause with intent to commit a felon having been found. Solicitor Huffman was present at the trial during the taking of evidence and stated that if "Yount turns him loose I shall get a bench warrant at once." Wednesday morning a "private trial" was held in the law office of Recorder Yount, at which time Bowman pleaded guilty to a charge of assault on a female and prayer for judgment was continued until August 20. Some persons have expressed a fear that Bowman will leave town now that he has heard of Solicitor Huffman's remarks about seeking to have the next grand jury indict him on the original charge, upon which the Solicitor claims he would ask the death penalty. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers ION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR WHILE THER ASSAILANT SHOOTS VICTIM WITHOUT SLIGHTESTWARNING Slayer Arrested And Lodged In Jail On Murder Charge; Cause Of The Killing Not Definitely Ascertained.

Race prejudice is manufactured and not innate as certain elements would have it believed. And the American newspapers have been the greatest mediums for the manufacturing of this almost purely American commodity in the world. Just as prejudice against colored people has been brought about, it might be fostered against red haired white people, or any other easily distinguishable people, according to deductions made by the Northwestern Christian Advocate. The Advocate illustrates a startling example of newspaper manufacture of race prejudice in an article under the caption, "Would It Arouse A Red Hair Prejudice." The article reads: "On a recent morning a newspaper reader of our acquaintance discovered two items of news in the only paper he thinks he can afford to take. "One item told that a student of Michigan University, Dehart Hubbard by name, had smashed the world's record in the running broad jump, with a leap of 25 feet, 10 7-8 inches. "Another told of an attack on a storekeeper by a thief, who shot at and wounded him, and then made off with the contents of the cash register." "The day before, the same newspaper reader had heard a highly-trained choir, in one of Methodism's most famous churches, as it sang with exquisite tenderness a pleading and wistful composition, "Listen to the Lambs,". "Now it happens that the athlete was a Negro, the robber was a Negro, and the composer of the music was a Negro. "The point is that this was mentioned only once. Guess when. "We have no objection to the fact of his race being told when a Negro goes wrong than we should have if the paper gave similar information where a Jew, a Vermonter and a Czechoslovak were implicated. But we do wonder why it should seem necessary at one time and not at another. "Neither do we ask that a Negro composer shall be announced as such. It is enough that he is a musician. "But if 'Negro' must always go on the debit side of the account, fair play suggests that the credit side might also use the word. "These reflections may throw a modest ray of light on the general opinion that Negroes are lawless far beyond the average of races. "He was an observant man who (Continued on Page 2.)

PETERSBURG YOUNG WOMAN IS DROWNED Goes To Wharf To Watch Excursionists Leave. Loses Balance And Falls Overboard. Affection for a small pet dog is said to have been the indirect cause of the death from drowning of Miss Carrie Lynch Pegram, 19 year old young woman of Petersburg, Va., Thursday evening of last week when she fell into the Appomattox river at the City Wharf in the city.

Miss Moody Wins 1st Prize In Bathing Beauty Contest The second annual bathing beauty contest of Greater Norfolk Lodge No. 122 I. B. P. O.

BAD BLOOD IN PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh, Pa., July 30—When a white man and colored man became involved in an argument over a question in a boy's ball game here Wednesday, more than 300 spectators took part in the quarterfinals of the five 1972 calls and calling of several squads of police. Race Must Give Better Musicians (Continued from page 1.) poses is that the Race must produce better musicians. The idea of skill and character is advisable in any cause such as ours. Such a triumph as that of Dr. Robert R. Moton, who has succeeded in placing an all-Megro staff in the institute, in institute in spite of the fact that he had been threatened with death should he attempt to do so, illustrates that we are advancing in character. Such triumphs as those of Roland Hayes, both in America and abroad, and recently of our own scholarship beneficiary, Miss Marion Anderson, in winning the contest as solist with the Philharmonic orchestra of New York City, illustrate the fact that we are advancing in musicianship. We are justly proud of these achievements by outstanding members of our group and we are encouraged by their successes. We congratulate them. But this is not enough. As a Race we must go on and up uninterrupted, and expect wherever it is heard; as musicians we must continue to progress until our ability is impeccable when measured by the standard of the world. May Come About "This can only come about when the profession is filled with those who are interested in education; who place the cause of justice above and beyond personal aggrandizement or financial gain. As I said before, the advancement of any art depends upon the character and efficiency of those who pursue it. The artist as a musician cannot be separated from what one is as a man or woman. The Nauca Musicians, Inc. deserves then only as it stimulates the two great fundamentals, character and ability. If in the attainment of our goal we neglect either one of these our cause is lost." Garvey Would (Continued from Page One) Edward Young Clarke, formerly Imperial Emperor of the Ku Klux Klan in the Imperial Palace at Atlanta, but he denies any enthusiastic sympathy for the hooded organization. According to the petition the meeting was for the purpose of officially learning what the Klan stood for, and Garvey, as the "dead world" race of the world, was justifying his move. His enemies, however, utilized this conference as evidence that he was working with the Klan, and at the time of his trial, the spread of this idea prejudiced the judge, jury and the prosecution, most of whom were Jews and Catholics, thereby preventing a fair hearing. Says All Were Prejudiced Garvey says in his papers, says the Whip, that the trial judge, defies the postal authorities and circuit court of the Empire were all prejudiced. The trial was conducted in an atmosphere of premedited prejudice. He denies that his offense was one calling for deportation, but since the orders of deportation have been signed, he agrees to leave without proof, given reasonable notice, and without nightmare all of his many business affairs. As a further reason why his pardon should be granted, Garvey alleges that he is suffering from bronchial asthma, which illness is aggravated by his life in prison. There are quotations from many sources used in the document including a stanza from "America." How Prejudice Is Manufactured (Continued from Page One) said, "In six months I could make this country a most uncomfortable place for red headed men if I were permitted, whenever a red headed man happened to become a lawbreaker, to state in the newspapers that he had red hair; always supposing that the hue of every lawbreaker's hair should never be mentioned." "Especially, we venture to add, if whenever a redheaded man did anything praiseworthy, all reference to his red headedness were studiously avoided." Rob Parsonage While Inmates Are In Church Rob Parsonage While Inmates Are In Church Some person or persons who would not disdain to commit sacrilege entered the parsonage of the First Church of Christ, Holiness on Princess Anne road, Wednesday night while the inmates, with a number of delegates were attending the State convention in session in the church adjacent to the prison, and made of it with two suits of clothes, a handbag and several other articles. The robbers overlooked several hundred dollars in collapsed at the convention, which was in a room on the second floor. The door to the room was locked. The robbery was not discovered until the convention adjourned. Two detectives who made an investigation said entrusted a parsonage was effected through a back window where an automobile was parked. Norfolk Men In Business In Phila. Messrs. Charles Brown and Joe Burke, formerly prominent business men of this city have cast their dies in Philadelphia, where they are conducting one of the best restaurants in the city. Messrs. Burke and Brown carry with them, to Philadelphia a wide experience in their line. They were engaged in this business in Norfolk for sometime and proved very popular among their patrons. They had a hotel and cafe business on Church street, in Denby. An added benefit to that business was a summer roof garden where numbers of people spent the evening, dancing in the cool breeze. This was the first roof garden of any consequence Norfolk ever boasted of. Prior to going to Philadelphia they conducted a restaur. MISS VIRGINIA R. COLLETTE REAL ESTATE AND 144 I BUIT ST.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 1—Ed Childers' Hilldale club for the third season this year defeated the Doyle White Sox (white) today by score of 1 to 2. The Philadelphi-colored stars won despite the hit that they were out by hit a number of two hits. It was a fiery pitchers' battle between Red Ryan, of Hilldale, and Phil Desson, diminutive Phil Dierker, for the Sox. Which was wild in the early innings, giving four bases on balls in each of the innings Hilldale scored, and being nicked for four of the five hits he allowed in 'these mon the other hand, Ryan was in the other but once, and that was in the fourth when the Sox snared three of their seven hits with a kick and scored their two runs. Hilldale's wonde lil fumble off three tightly double hits. Captain Wintfield shone in hand—handling twelve chances with one boot, and that on a hard Hilldale pushed two runs over in the first inning. Briggs singled, Sevens and Carr both walked,stop popped out. Borgeman knocked down J. Johnson's single, scoring. Thomas beat out to Braun and two more. They made two more the third.

BROWN Chicago, the first city in the center of our great Continent, has shipped out in front by putting over St. Thomas Invitation Tennis Tournament with first ten players, plenty of bulls and two national champions present who jumped from the Pacific and Atlantic Coast, respectively. I have played tennis with our best from New York to Frisco, but never I enjoyed so completely such wholesome hospitality, perfect courts, proficient officiating, courteous treatment by the club members and so fine and gracious sportsmanship, on the part of the coaches of the Prairie Tennis Club, the hundred of the Windy City site in the fine shaded grand-painted presented a picture never to be forgotten Made Tennis History Dr. O. B. Williams, Father Brown of the St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Mr. Harry Isaacs, president of the Prairie Tennis Club, Attorney Johnson, Ms. Seams, Dr. Wiburn, Dave Dralcliffe, President Hawley of the Appomattox Club and the newspaper fraternity have made tennis history. A new page must be written in the annals of the American Tennis Association. First Of Its Kind This is the first time on record that a movement has been successfully carried out which brought the best tennis players to Chicago, and the public demonstrated its keen interest by coming out in large numbers and making the matches a big feature of the season. fans, visitors and friends of this wonder city of the world may well congratulate themselves for such an encouraging and sincere appreciation of the efforts of the officials and tennis players of New York, Washington, California, St. Louis, and Louisville. Tennis Library at Louisville It might be timely to add here that Louisville represented by the Mane brothers and Mr. Paris made an invaluable contribution, to this new program when they reported the accession of a tennis library at their local club house. There is nothing any tennis club America, the West Indies or clubs could do that would so speedily set the sun forever on the timeless and unscientific methods pursued by so many of our promising athletes adherents who are to learn this game of skill and finesse as a game of physician would try to learn medicine by living with an herb doctor. Just peep into one of J. Parrymle's books on Lawn Prism's methods and Players. Mogers, Beanish, Blackmore, Tilder, Mallon, Mallory, or one of a dozen Spalding's library paper bound pamphlets would convince even an ignorant that if they are ever going to play the tennis game we cannot do it by being some chop stroke, push ball, putting, run around, backhandless, tennis freak who thinks the 1837 book good enough for 1925. On this week, I saw a brownskin brother, just eighteen, with all the buoyancy of youth, living safe trying to cut cut Tal- McGriff Takes Singles Championship In Tennis Saint Christopher And Salem Crescent Rank In Class "A" The Bacharachs Upset Lit Brothers In Eleventh Rally The singes championship of the Tidewater Tennis Club was captured by Dr. J. L. McGriff, of Portsmouth, former national doubles champion and now a ranking player and holder of the Tidewater singles and doubles titles, when on an afternoon in the club's second annual tournament he defended Landy Taylor, winning local player and finalist in last summer's open Tidewater Tournament, by the count of 6:0; 6:1; 4:6; 6:0. General Effectiveness Won Dr. McGriff, and likewise Taylor, drew frequent applause from the gallery for the manner in which he finished off his strokes after excellent strategy had earned for him an opening. It was evident from his first stroke played by the Portsmouth mouth, that Taylor would have to scale the greatest heights of his interesting tennis career to win the match. Discouraging Mixture With discouraging persistence, nay maddening regularity, McGriff would mix drive with lob, cross-court shot with heavily sliced ball to center court when Taylor was caught in deep back court, would return a difficult stroke to increasing speed, only to have McGriff run into a bad position and finish off the shot with a brilliant net play. Won Ten Straight Such was the story of the entire match, except for the third set, which Taylor won by a count of 6-4. Dr. McGriff won ten straight games before his opponent could break through and win a single game. But against the play of the former national champion as he demonstrated it Monday afternoon, losing ten games in a row was not a disgrace by any means. And it was remembered that Dr. McGriff had had simply a case of possessing the necessary equipment of strokes and uneasy court generalship. Saint Christop Crescent Rank ley and of course he lost ignominiously. Drives Not Returned Drives Not Returned The few times in the match he had sense enough and unconsciously drove a ball, (as one by observation can prove) it was not returned by Mr. Holmes in the dimensions of the court, particularly if he happened to be high to his indefensibly "wotten" backhand. And I might mention here the only time I remember being passed at the net in my match with Mr. Holmes when he overcame habit and instead of dishing up a slow easily killed chop he loose and actually got through what looked like the makings of a first class forehand drive. Start Driving Today Let me say to all folks young and old who desire to play a decent game of tennis stop cutting, patting and chopping, start tomorrow,—no start today when you get out on the court and resolve to drive every ball on your forehand and backhand until doomsday, if necessary and every time ignorance overcomes your better self and your sub-conscious mind even intimates a cut—cut it out. I mean every word of it—read the literature of lawn tennis, no chopper ever won the world's single tennis championship—its time right now to start out right. In passing through Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City and Louis on our way back East, we saw many promising youngsters who will with Regina and Douglas Turner, of New York and Douglas Turner, of Chicago, some day advance us another step toward our day at Forest Hill or Wimbledon. HURT ESCAPING FROM SOUTH (By Associated Negro Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., July 30—Three race youths from "down home" who had "beat" their way to this city in search of work, were badly hurt Friday night, when one of them, Thomas Harnessy, of Petersburg, Va., jumped from a freight train at 61st street and El-wood avenue. The Bacharac Brothers In I Shore Sluggers Launch Broad-side Against Durbin's Shoots For Four Run Tally Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 8—Lit I Brothers and the Bacharach Giants engaged in a great eleven innings tussle this afternoon at 48th and Spruce streets, the shore team winning out with a four run rally in the final frame. The score was 5-1. Bill Durbin held the Eastern Colored Leaguers until the ninth inning to four hits, but the visitors got to him in the extra sessions. In the eleventh inning, nine four doubles, and six singles brought a quartet of tallies. The store boys were held to seven hits and a single shot by Mitchell, who grew as the game progressed. Dick Nield played a wonderful game afield for the home team. He cut off several runs. Warry Blutts made a throw to the plate in getting Cummings in the eleventh, but immediately afterward the Bacharach sluggers hammered Durbin all over the field. Marcell was the big noise in the Bacharach attack. He came thru with a homer to tie the count in --- which counted heavily in the victor's favor. 5-6. Interesting Matches Before Final Taylor, defeated McCpy, Mainor and Watkins in reaching the finals. He beat McCpy 6-2; 6-1. He won from Mainor by a count: 5-8; 8-5; 6-3; 6-3. McGriff had two to default in the early rounds due to their absence from the city. In the third round he defeated "Stumpy" Robinson 6-2; 6-4. In the semi-finals McGriff defeated P. B. Young jr., 6-4; 4-6; 6-0. Taylor Makes It Interesting Taylor's backhand drive, which were so prominent last summer, flashed to the fore occasionally and usually were good for a point as he moved to the net and out of his reach. After McGriff had won the first two sets, losing one game in the meantime, Taylor rallied. When Taylor broke through McGriff's service in the third game of the third set, spectators realized that in this set Taylor would make his first shot. He went ahead at 4-3, then 5-3, lobbing high and accurately to the baseline. McGriff became a little unsteady in his next game, which he won on service. Taylor won the next and set game with the loss of but one point. Takes Deciding Set At Love Just as in his semi-final match, McGriff won the deciding set at love after having lost the preceding set. He was entirely two veritable leads, steady in changing his pace constantly, and rushing the net to put away the returns of his opponent with utmost finality. A large gallery witnessed the match and on each day of the journey. Accommodations are being made to handle yet larger crowds at the coming Tidewater event, which will be held early in September. New York, Aug. 6.—In a series of dual meets that will get under way the second week in this month are included the St. Christopher and Salem Crescent Athletic Clubs, which are classified in class "A" along with Bloomfield Catholic Lyeum, Newark; Pastime Athletic Club, St. Anselm Athletic Club and the Paulist Athletic Club. Events To Be Contested The events to be contested are as follow: 100 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards, 880 yards, one mile, running high jump, running broad jump and the 12 pound shot. It is planned to hold the events as twilight meets, as far as possible, but at a time most convenient for the club's members. All athletes must be registered for the clubs they represent. Twenty-five clubs have entered the "round robin" series and are divided into four classes. Class B—Mohawk Athletic Club, Greenwood Track Club, Brooklyn Athletic Association, Holy Name Boys' Club, Lenox Hill A. A. and Knights of St. Anthony. Class C—St. Bartholomew Club, St. George Club, Trinity Club, New York Long Island Athletic Club, 258th Field Artillery, Resolute A. C., Turnoverwarts, Brooklyn Catholic Boys Club. New Jersey Club—Prudential Insurance Company A. A.. St. Joseph's Catholic Club. St. Philip's A. A. C. Bloomfield Catholic Lycum (second team). Hartley A. A. A. St. Valentine's A. C. Jersey Harriers, Anchor. A. C., Concord A. C. and St. Bonaventure lycum. The scoring will be done on the Amateur Athletic Union System of 5 points for first, 3 for second, 2 for third and 1 for fourth place. At the conclusion of the season the greatest number of victories will be recognized as the champion in its class. Each club will be entitled to enter four athletes in each event, except the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, which will be confined to three entries from each club. the seventh and then doubled to register the winning tally in the eleventh and scored again himself. The Lit Brothers were the first to dent the pentagon, their only fun coming fifth, when Pasquerella doubled, went to third on Steen's out and came home on Eddie Ralson's single. In their half of the seventh the Bacharach tied the score when Marcell hit a homer. There was no further scoring until the eleventh, when the Atlantic City totsers sent four runs across the plate. Cummings opened with a two bagger. Brown singled to left and Cummings was out at the plate on a great relay by Warry Butts. Lundy doubled,* and when John Henry Lloyd was purposefully passed the base paths were clogged. It was Marcell who again came to the rescue with a two bagger to right field, Brown and Lundy scoring. White then followed with a double and Lloyd and Marcell registered. Score: B.

ASK FANS Crippled By Loss of Two Stars, Fans Wonder If New Players Can Fill In As Brilliantly. Norfolk's only league team, the Tars, are facing one of the toughest assignments of the season in meeting Wilson, second place team, in three encounters, and Portsmouth Truckers, league leaders, in five battles. Just a little way out of second place the first of this week, after having been second only to Portsmouth last week, the Robbymen are making every effort to regain their sensational stride that brought them from from collar, where they began with six weeks on second place, where they stayed until they dropped a double header to the now climbing Richmond Colts last Saturday. Tars started off the wrong way to regain their place in the second position by throwing away, via errors, the week's first game, and the questions on the fans' lips now is, "Will the Tars pull thru three week of honestly cruises series? Despite sebacking and believes alike, and those thousands are the stunna supporters of color who witness every game played by the Tars in League Park from the grandstand behind first base and along left field foul line. Rain has interfered several times with the construction of a new grandstand to replace the on-burned down recently, but indications are that everything but the painting of the new stand has been placed before the end of this week. It is predicted generally that a poor showing in the eight games scheduled this week means the end of Norfolk's pennant hopes. However, with a former ace signed up for the pitching staff and with other players rounding into shape Tars, in the opinion of thousands of fans, will pull thru in the same brilliant fashion of a few weeks ago. But it's a tough assignment. P. R. Y. J. Waterbury, Conn. Waterbury, Conn.-Miss Eileen Mae Walton, 19 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carrol B.

Edgar Brown Two Times I Edgar Brown Beats Champion Two Times In Eight Days (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 3—Ed G. Brown, former national singles champion, defeated Tally Holmes of Washington, present national singles king, for the second time in eight days, when on Saturday he won the Illinois State championship. The tournament was staged at the Princeton Tennis club, score of the third singles match which Brown won, was 4-6; 6-1; 6-2; 5-7; 6-1. Brown winning the second, third, and fifth sets in taking the match and title from the present highest ranking player. Brown on Winning Doubles Team In the men's doubles Brown and Richard Hadlin, fifth ranking player, defeated Dr. O. B. Williams, ranks tenth, and I. H. Holmes, ranks fifth, and C. G. 6-2; 6-2; 6-2. The victors were trailing by two full sets for the match and doubles title. The women's singles title went to Miss Isadora Channels, present title holder, who defeated Mrs. Dorothy Radcliffe Ewell, 6-4, 7-5. Mrs. Ewell ranks fourth. The weather was clear and cool and the attendance good. The work of Edgar Brown was the sensation of the tournament. The Saturday preceding, Brown had beaten O. B. Williams in the semi-finals of the St. Thomas Invitational tournament and then fifteen minutes later took on Holmes and beat him in four sets. Brown played a better brand of ball than he was in better condition. The last two tournaments in which Brown competed in Chicago were the first since his suspension two years ago. He has registered an auspicious comeback, and now seems destined to raise havoc with some aspiring titleholder before he gets through be held at Bentonville, Aug. 26. There is a chance you might be said about the two recent tournaments, including the fine playing of Williams and the steady and marvelous chop stroking of Williams. The beautiful lobbing and stellar net work of Holmes might be mentioned. The "dead ball" serving of Williams and numerous other things might be written a minute when the final description is attained but one thing to say—too much Edgar Goodlow Brown.

PASTOR EULOGIZES PIONEERS OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH --- "Carrying On the Work of Others" was the subject of Rev Richard H. Bowling's Sermon at the First Baptist Church last Sunday morning. This message was a very fitting climax to the church's recent observance of its 125th anniversary. Using us as a text the words of David in I Chron. 22:14, the speaker declared we should not forget the contribution of the founders. "Just as David's provision of money and materials building the funeral of God was of great scale, so those preceding us in this historical organization have made invaluable contributions. Materially they have laid us under lasting obligation by their purchase in the year 1830 of this ample plot of ground fifty-five by two hundred feet, in 1891 of this additional plot twenty-five by sixty-six, and by their dedication in 1906 of this beautiful temple that could not be duplicated now for less than $175,000. And what shall we say concerning these records of any Baptist organization, state or other, of which Lewis Mitchell and Richard Allen, former white pastors, and Lewis Tucker, David King, James A. Gordon, R. A. Tucker, colored pastors and clerks, have each realized the value of the written record and handed them down to us in tact. Spiritual Contributions "But greater far has been the spiritual contribution of the founders of this organization. The example of loyalty of pastor and people when powerful outside influences would have disrupted the organization, on charges of misconduct, heresy, and attitudes on the ground, such unshakable devotion of pastor and people is an inspiration. Moreover, there has always been emphasis on the greater values. The spot or building has never been too sacred for meeting the immediate human needs. This place from the earliest times has been a schoolhouse, playground, social as well as a place of worship. Helpful Dicipline "The early members' exercise of discipline has been a means of tuning up the life of the entire community. That is the deeper meaning of the record of almost continual expulsion of members during the late 'sixties and 'seventies. The aftermath of slavery was not only poverty and ignorance, but low moral standards. The church's firmness in adhering to high standards and disciplining those who persisted in drunkenness Lastly, adultery, and fighting, has changed the thinking of the whole town. And think of the spirit in which all this has been done. There in this has been a case of a girl being charged with drunkenness, swearing, and fighting on the streets. The church reminded her to the deacons for "counsel and advice because of her tender age." Can you think of a more beautiful and touching example of tempering justice with mercy? Famous Individuals "Stores of leaders for the whole race have been raised up and trained for service in this organization; teachers, evangelists, ministers, missionaries, com munity workers, humble toilers in the ranks on the books of life. Let not forget that Mary S. Peake, whose little school has grown into Hampton Institute, was a member of this church. So also was Georgia Washington, Founder of the People's Village School at Mt. Meigs, and there was Daniel Wisher, founder of the famous Mt. Olive church of New York and one of the organizers of the New England Baptist Convention." MT. LEBANON BAPTIST At all services at this church last Sunday members and friends were out in large numbers. The early morning prayer meeting was an enthusiastic one and was followed by a school. At 11:30 the pastor preached the closing sermon of his series. On this occasion he delivered an able sermon on the lukewarm church, selecting his text from Rev. 3; 14-21. At 3:20 p. m. an old fashioned coventant meeting was held. B. Joseph was preached by a fine program. At night Holy Communion was administered and the right-hand-of-fellowship extended to a large number. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my dear husband, Chas. F.

Convention Meets In City Of Norfolk 25TH ANNUAL SESSION OF CONVENTION At First Baptist Church August 19, 20, 21. The Baptists of the various Sunday schools of the State are looking forward to the 25th annual session of the Convention. This session will open August 19 and close August 21, 1925 and will be held in the First Baptist Church, Bute street, Rev. R. H. Bowling, pastor; Mr. C. J. Watkins, superintendent. This is expected to be one of the most successful sessions during the life of the convention. Appeal to Sunday Schools Every Sunday school is urged to line up its officers and members to contribute its best for the success of the convention. We are anxious that every one make himself a worker and not become satisfied until he has done his best to make this session a success. We should realize that this a celebration of a quarter of a century's work done in adventures. Much interest should be manifested by every Sunday school in the State in celebration of this progress. No Sunday schools are expected to be behind but show their real spirit, interest and enthusiasm during this meeting. Appeal to District Leaders and Missionaries All district leaders and missionaries are asked to be present with very encouraging reports for the convention. We are depending on your help to a great extent for the success of the convention. We urge you not to forget our school at Lynchburg and that you will use every available opportunity to make the convention a success.

A. TIDEWATER S. S COUNCIL TAKES AN INVENTORY With more than twelve schools represented, the workers of Tidewater Inter-demonstrational Sunday School Council met. This meeting was held at St. Paul C. M. E. Sunday School Sunday, August second. The spirit which prevailed throught the meeting was one that would ar- rest the attention of the most indifferent. These workers set themselves to the task of reviewing one year's work. The president, Mr. M. E. Diggs in making his annual address summed up the total work accomplished during the year. President Diggs stated that he kept up with the activities of the world's Sunday School Conference and found that in a small degree that the Council had attempted to do some of all the movements of this great body; likewise with the International Sunday School body. The only reason says Mr. Diggs, that we have not perfected plans started in this body is due to the enormous expenditure of money required to do so. This organization does not nor ever will make money its prime object, declared Mr. Diggs with an outburst of oratory. The inventory showed what the Council had accomplished. More than twenty schools are affiliated with this body; hundreds of new scholars have found their way into one of these twenty schools during the year; better collections are being taken; a survey of the city; a check up on church members in local schools, a Sunday school camp; a visit to a school; plans for a daily vacation Bible school and a Sunday School League. These schools, in their activities have exhibited the spirit of the One who died on the cross for the redemption of man. Mr. Walter Smith, chairman of the parade committee announced that the parade will be held the first Sunday in October. Mr. Smith informed the Council of the fact that the Excelsior, Premier, Berkley and St. Joseph bands each year have rendered their 'services to the Council gratis. These organizations need to be commended for their spirit and willingness to serve such a noble cause claims organizations have done in years surely they will do this year declared the chairman of the committee. The second half of the Council is in full swing. This half will run for two months and on the same basis as the first half. Reports for this half of the contest will appear weekly in this paper beginning with our issue of the week of the ninth. region." On Monday night, the ladies of Bank Street Church gave Mrs. Long, wife of the pastor, a very pleasant surprise. Mrs. N. P. Curtis made the presentation, which was responded to in a neat talk by Mrs. Long. THOUSANDS OF VISITORS EXPECTED TO GATHER HERE (Continued from Page One) tor, August 12 and 14, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week. Upward of between 300 and 300 visitors and delegates are expected to attend this convention. Practitioner of the Baptist pas- sage. Tidewater are allied with this association and a most inter- esting three-day session is antici- pated. Sunday School Conventions Two Sunday school conventions, both of the Baptist denomination will be meeting here from August 19 to 23. The Baptist State Sunday School Convention will be at the First Baptist Church on these dates and the Baptist Bank State Convention will be in session at Bank Street Baptist Church. This latter convention is affiliated with the Baptist General Association of the State, the president of which is Rev. F. W. Williams. The combined attendance at these two meetings will approximate 500 persons. Norfolk citizens are expected to join with the members of the host churches in entertaining the visitors. Methodist Convention During the first four days in September, which makes it meet simultaneously with the Lott-Carey Convention, the Virginia Society of the A. M. F. Church, Mrs Jennie M. Hunter, president, will be in session at St. John's Church. More than 200 women are expected to come with the society as delegates. Incidentally, September 1 to 4 might well be termed "African days in Norfolk, inasmuch as both of the conventions meeting here during that time will be missionary conventions, whose activities largely centered on the Daphne Continuum. The women of this organization are regarded as a group of the most loyal and ardous workers in the A. M. F. denomination, Rev. J. A. Young, the pastor of the church that will be host to the delegates. One Meeting Held Last week one large convention at which there were between 300 and 400 delegates closed its session here. That was the twenty-fifth annual concession of the Church of Christ Holiness U.S.A. is represented in the district comprising Virginia and North Carolina. It is believed that the public will not overlook the fine opportunity the gathering of these thousands of visitors here offers for advertising the city, either favorably or unfavorably. Some of the delegates the country and will probably be making their first visit to the city. Whatever impression they gain of Norfolk will be carried with them. Although the visitors will be religious workers, the business men of the city will most likely take cognizance of their presence here and will singly join with the local church people in showing Norfolk at its best.

HOLINESS CHURCH CONVENTION ENDS Four-Day Session Of Church Workers of Virginia And North Carolina Well Attended. The 26th annual session of the Duo States Convention of Virginia and North Carolina Churches of Christ Holiness, U. S. A., met with the First Church of Christ Holiness, Princess Anne road, July 29 to August 1. Sessions began each day at 10 a.m. On Wednesday night, July 29, the introductory seman was delivered by Dr. W. H. Dunn, the pastor of the church, Thursday night the educational sermon by Dr. E. M. Burgess of Pittsburgh, Pa. Fri. the missionary's closing session was held on Saturday morning after, which all delegates left the themes inspired to do a greater and better work. Rev. J. F. Morrison, of Newport News is president of the convention. First Baptist Church Berkley Avenue Mr. Rowe, one of the senior deacons of the church, offered a most heart-stirring prayer at the beginning of the morning services. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond, selected his text from John 1: 19: "We loved Him because He first loved us." He showed very plainly that love does not come from within but from without and gets into the heart. He discussed freely how difficult it is to love even those who mindlessly kill them only a Christian could do that. The pastor drew a most vivid picture, showing Christ on Mt. Calvary with a cloud of hatred on one side, and a cloud of love on the other with Christ at the summit. Sunday being the first Sunday in August, the annual union of the St. James Trinity and First Baptist Churches began. The first meeting was at First Baptist with Rev. David Wilson, of Indianiana, preaching a powerful sermon. First Baptist Wants Picture Of First Building A picture of their first brick building, which was burned down in 1876, is being sought by the First Baptist church. The pictures of this church were taken about sixty years ago and widely distributed at the time in the membership. In late years, however, this picture has been but rarely seen. It is desired, in order that a cut of it may be run in the historical pamphlet soon t o obe published. The officers of the church promise to pay for the trouble and expense attached to getting them one of these photographs. They also wish to get a picture of Rev. Teresa Henderson and one of Rev. C. H. Bowlley, former pastors of this church. They also desirous of borrowing any minutes or records of Baptist bodies in this section dating back from 1880 to 1798. Such material will be carefully guarded and returned intact to the owners. Address all communications to the pastor, Rev. Richard H. Bowling, 302 Charlotte Street, Norfolk, Va. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. F.

It is not enough to prove guilt. 4th Question—"Do you believe that his plan to set up a 'provisional government' in Africa is practicable, and if so will you please name the European power which you think would abdicate in his favor?" Answer—The Universal Negro Improvement Association entered negotiations with the Liberian Government and set forth plans in printed documents that all men may read, that I consider, practicable. The people of lands of Liberia provide homes for women in millions of immigrants. Other races have colonized new lands, why cannot the Negro found a colony? I believe that he can. I respect a Negro leader who believes his race is capable of founding a new nation. I respect most a Negro leader who is willing to enter the envirance. Carvey is this kind of a leader. I do not believe that it is practicable at this time for the American Negro to oust any European Power that is now exploiting 'Africa' but as I have said the actual steps taken by the Universal Negro Improvement Association were with regard to settlement in Liberia, which is governed by Negroes whose not distant ancestors were colonists from America, a fact proving the practicability of such a venture. But I am not in favor of the entire burden of colonization being placed upon the Negro. In my opinion he will do his part but I do not believe that he should have to bear the expense of colonization. I believe that the American government should arrange for land and bear the burden of colonization. The American whites have profited by the toil of the Negro and I believe that white people should support the Negro in establishing a nation of his own. The book "White America" and the booklet "Let My People Go," complimentary copies of which I have had the pleasure to place in your hands, discuss colonization in a detail not possible here. Lincoln, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, Monroe, Webster, and a host of other great men espoused the identical idea that Garvey has revived, though their methods of attaining it may not be identical. 5th Question—"Do you believe that deportation of American Negroes to Africa or elsewhere is practicable or feasible? Do you know of any way in which it could be accomplished legally? If a native born American citizen is not disposed to migrate of his own willion how would you bring about his demotion? Answer—Of course the movement of population of any race is practicable if a place is provided for them to locate and the means for their transportation arranged for. Millions of whites come to the United States. White people migrate to all parts of the world.

An amendment to the *Constitution* would be to remove by force the *Negro* did not wish to take part in brethren in building a nation.

"There will never be any permanently satisfactory provisions in the South for the education of the Negro until the educational officials and the public are brought to see the connection between Negro education and the economic progress and welfare of the South."—Dr. John M.

C., last week. symposium and moving picture, C. I. Calloway of Tuskegee, executive secretary, brought recommendations for a committee to study teachers' salaries and another to produce a plan of contact with the N. E. A. Lawrence A. Oxley and Dr. Rosece C. Brown of North Carolina wrote into the Social Service platform a distinctive contribution with bold picture and challenging fact. Prof. Frazier of Atlanta conductor of the only School of Social Service for Negroes, was there and was the only member of the conference to allude to Dayton, Tennessee; there was no echo of Science versus Religion. The truth was sought and facts ruled the discussion. Opinion of White Experts The Association also gathered unto itself the opinion of experts from the white world: Hon. John J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education, pitched the nation a learning upon the philosophy of Booker T. Washington, that "We shall prosper in proportion as we dignify and glorify labor and put skill and intelligence in the common occupations of life." The Commissioners reminded the Association that 26 of the 29 Presidents of the United States had risen from the common occupations of life, Dr. A. T. Allen, Superintendent of Public Instruction of North Carolina, cited a definite change in public opinion by both white and colored, the former becoming more tolerant and sympathetic and the latter more considerate and patient. Others of known patriotic and friendly sentiment brought their gifts and endorsed the Association's program of usefulness. B. Sanders of West Virginia, president of the N. A. T. reports that less than ten of the Negro children enrolle in the public schools go beyond grade and that, consequently emphasis is being held ten per cent than upon tenure 30 per cent. N. B. of Missouri declares that education provides the Negro a larger opportunity to add an educational policy for the country, a larger free education, a larger schooling, a to think out orders for jobs, as well as to execute a thought out for them. C. Poulding, on behalf of Negro men, pledged their service the making of a Department Business Education. John M. of Virginia struck a notice emphasized in the disarray. "There will never be any simply satisfactory provision of Negro until the education and the public are brought the connection between Nedcation and the economic and welfare of the Program The pro-ful of all which no can justify day was a partimental Health Education, High elementary Education, Social Extension, and School-by-play a meat of the high order under the A.

In these by-play and discussion was the meat of the coconut. Music of a high order enlivened the sessions, under the direction of Mrs. Bessie A. J.

Internal Organization The internal organizations and promotion of the N. A. T. C. S. resides chiefly with the Executive Secretary, C. J. Calloway. He is aide-de-camp to the presidents who retire annually. Calloway's objective is a strong, central organization that will foster state teacher units, mold the national trend and fuse and centralize all interests and activities of the profession. It is a man-size job. The new president, Prof. R. S. Grossley of Delaware brings to his work a background of culture and accomplishment, as well as years of labor in the Association. "On To Hot Springs" Hot Springs, Ark., the next seat of the convention, needs all of the 12 months intervening; for Durham, the "Bull City", famous commercial and financial center, has put on all the finishing touches in hospitality and entertainment, James E. Shepard, guiding genius, and George W. Cox of the N. C. Mutual Life insurance Company, general chairman, marshallled a corps of citizens in unbroken ranks and went over the top in handling the mammoth affair. Universal comment from the delegates as to their entertainment, told its own story. Several very definite impressions were carried away by them. One is the fine spirit of cooperation between the races and the wonderfully promising liberality of the white people of North Carolina. Another is the result of the commercial development of the Durham Negro, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Bankers Fire Insurance Company, the National Negro Finance Corporation, the Royal Knights of King David and other "Durham institutions have been" "gold" to the visitors because of concrete accomplishments and a race-building unparalleled e.l.s where. Another impression is that Durham Negroes are hospitable and pleasant hosts. One of the delegates remarked, when clouds appeared and rain threatened on Friday, "Well, the Durham people have entertained us so generously and been so kind to us in every way, if it rains, I am sure we shall all be provided with raincoats."

BINGA GIVES $1000 FOR HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE FUND Chicago Colored Banker Boosts Campaign For Two Schools; Pays High Compliment To Their Work. Fresh evidence of the increasing philanthropy of members of the colored race toward their educational and welfare institutions was manifested in Chicago last week when Jesse Binga, president of the Binga State Bank, gave $1,000 to the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund. In response to a query as to the motive which actuated his gift, Mr. Binga said: "You ask why I subscribed a thousand dollars to the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund. I say at the start that my only regret is that I could not contribute a hundred thousand dollars to such a worthy cause." "Both Haunton and Taskegee center round the personality of Booker T. Washington, Dr. Washington was the pioneer in the industrial development of our race. He saw the vision and for a quarter of a century dominated the racial thought of the nation. As the result our people obtained a firm industrial grusup in the South and were in a position to compete economically with the rest of the American nation. "When the Great War occurred and our nation entered it our people, as the result of Dr. Washington's work could have been mechanics; they could have used the skill they acquired at those schools in behalf of the nation, either at home or abroad. They could beample protection against the purpose of foreign economic invasion, the grasping of the American dollar on American soil, but the spending of the American dollar on foreign shores. "Hampton and Tuskegue are ever protecting influences against the helplessness, lack of training rendes our race wion in competition with the guskilled border that come in by way of Ellis Island. It is to the interest of all of us to see that those schools live and thrive and that their usefulness increases instead of diminishes. REGISTERED AT HOTEL DALE Philadelphia.—Miss Maud e J.

J. A. Rogers finds wages and salaries ridiculously low among English laborers and office workers. Domestic servants get from $2.50 to $6.00 a week, and a railroad inspector draws the murificent sum of $15.00 a week. Living costs, he finds, almost parallel those in America. A room, without the modern conveniences familiar to urban centers in the States, costs $5.00 a week. Superior woolens are cheaper than in America, but cotton goods are about the same in price as found here. Fruit in London and on Lenox avenue, N. Y., retails at approximately the same price. Americans are far behind the English in culture, Mr. Rogers thinks. Has not met a single rude person, among neither the higher or lower classes. A London "bobfly" (policeman) seems to be a real gentleman and he carries no gun. Color prejudice is met on rare occasions. It is the money that counts. B. J. A. ROGERS Author of "From Superman To Man," Written Exclusively for Journal and Guide One of the many things I had decided to find out in my trip to Europe is the lot of the white working people as compared with that of the Negro in America. At first glance I am prepared to say that the lot of even the hambler Negro is better than that of many in the more genteel occupations here, so far as wages, and the cost of living is concerned. The more I PETER B. Mr. Rosser, age, the former grows the conviction that there is not for color prejudice the United States of America would be a black man's paradise. At present it is that of the white man. The United States, with its enormous resources right at hand, has comparatively speaking, no poor people as compared with these older habitats of the white race. Wages in London, so far as I have found out, are from a half to a third what it is in America, particularly in the matter of so-called common labor. I have talked with dozens of laboring whites and I find that they get about from seven and a half to ten dollars a week. A recent labor report said that more than 50,000 railwaymen are getting less than twelve-fifty a week. A railroad inspector told me that he got three pounds, or fifteen dollars a week. A Pullman porter in America gets as much without tips. The average stenographer gets abstent ten dollars—a good one in the office of a friend of mine is paid six and a quarter and is glad to get the job. In America she would command not less than twenty. Housemids get from three-seventy-five to six dollars. I know several maids in America who get as high as fifty dollars a month for four hours work daily. And the most surprising thing of all is that the price of almost everything is actually as high as it is in America. Recently in one of the popular restaurants, I paid fifty cents for the following: a ham and sandwich, a cup of tea, and two pieces of cake, equiv- Read the Ads in this Paper and save yourself money by trading at home adent to a single portion in a New York automat. Room rent is slightly cheaper. A room that brings six-fifty costs about five dollars here, minus most of the conveniences as steam heat and hot water, which are practically unknown. Living in the country marts is cheaper but so is labor. Woolen clothing is cheaper and of a superior quality than in the U.S. but cotton goods are about as high. Fruit costs about the same as it does on Lenox avenue. How the working people make ends meet is a mystery to me. Th IN THIS SECTION City News-Virginia and North Carolina Features and Editorials.

The rich, however, complain of the high income tax. There is a great deal of unemployment and it is a calamity to lose one's job. Doles of about four dollars a week are paid the unemployed but with the high cost it doesn't seem to relieve the situation very much. It is no uncommon sight to see men and women crouching in a doorway, that being their only home. At the Thames Embankment hundreds of these doodles may be seen any night. During the four years England was at war she lost much of her market abroad. At present her imports exceed her exports by several million dollars. But, while America leads England in those things that make for bodily comfort, in matters of culture and good taste the former is proportionately as far behind. I know the average white American well, and to speak frankly, he is a bore as compared with the lowest class of English.

AUGUST 8, 1925 FREE MASONRY IN VIRGINIA BEGAN AT ALEXANDRIA Second Lodge Was Established In Norfolk As Rising Sun Lodge No. 2; Charter Was Received In 1865. An interesting outline of the birth of Free Masonry in Virginia has been assembled by the Virginia Grand of Mussons which is to be published in a bound volume. It some other things: The origin of Ancient Freemasonry antedates the period whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Some accounts place it in the building Solomon's Temple about 142 years before the Christian war. It is admitted however, that authorities everywhere that it originated in antiquity. The rites of this ancient and honorable order have descended through generation after generation and it has numbered among its members many paupers, some of whom he feared God, respected laws of their country, and benefited upon humanity. Origin Less Obscure Here The Origin of Masonry in this country is less obscure; and as practical among colored men, authority for which may be found in the original warrant granted September 29, 1784, A. L. 5784, by the Grand Lodge of England, the mother of Masonry in the United States, to Prince Hall and others, then residing in Boston, Massachusetts, constituting the ma regular Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, under the title of African Lodge. It has been contended that Prince Hall was regularly commissioned a provincial Grand Master for colored men and masons in America, without expressing any doubt, is certain that he was recognized at the office of the Grand Master in London as one who knew of the lodges west of the ocean. He exercised the power of provincial Grand Master as early as 1792. Tracing the early history of Masonry among colored men in the United States, it will be seen that on March 22, 1797, Prince Hall granted a dispensation to a number of brethren to form a new lodge in the State of Pennsylvania, which formed a nucleus around which the colored Masons of that State gathered. Other lodges were constituted, and afterwards on the 21st of December, 1815, the first Independent African Grand Lodge was organized. By a like dispensation, it is claimed, that a lodge was organized in Providence, which lodge was organized in Philadelphia, which African Grand Lodge of Massachusetts in 1808, which Grand Lodge, together with the First Independent African Grand Lodge, both of Pennsylvania, met in Boston on the 23rd and 24th of June, 1847, and organized the National Grand Lodge. Virginia Lodge Prior to the year 1845 a number of men from Virginia received their degrees in the City of Brotherly Love. The first lodge in this State was Universal No. 1, at Alexandra, organized on the 5th of February, 1845. Following this was Rising Sun Lodge No. 2, of Norfolk. Many of its members received their degrees in Philadelphia also. Their charter was not received until about 1865. Next was Morning Star No. 3, and Eastern Light No. 4. The several lodges which were working under the authority of the National Grand Lodge were moved to organize a Grand Lodge in this State, and on the 28th of December, 1865, and the 17th of February 1866, Union Grand Lodge was organized. Linein Lodge in 1865 was organized, receiving war rations from the Consolidated Grand Lodge of Maryland, styling its members Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons. On the 16th day of August, 1866, a committee from a Philadelphia lodge initiated seventy-two men, who divided themselves, and organized J. B. Trusty Lodge, Virginia Lodge, and Abraham Lodges; which having procured charters from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, met convention in the City of Petersburg and organized the Lodge of F. and A. Ancient York Masons on the 14th of October, 1867. Further Expansion From that time, two Grand Lodges, Union Grand Lodge, and the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted York Masons, existed in the State of Virginia, which increased in membership and Mason's skill, and as their members co-mingled in business, social and friendly ways in their several communities, they developed in brotherly love and affection, and a desire to work and work together manifested itself. As a result, a conference of the two Grand Lodges was held in St. Luke Hall, then on Franklin St, in the city of Richmond, on the 9th of December 1873. At that conference a basis of union was adopted which provided that the Union Grand Lodge which was then in session, would adjourn to meet with the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Agent some York Masons in June, 1874. For some reason, the Union Grand Lodge did not meet, but as true Mason acted by the tenets of the Order of Antruth, on Truth, and practicing its cardinal virtues; Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude and Justice, they did not despair and a joint meeting of the two Grand Lodges was arranged for and held in the city of Peters- burg on the 15th of December, 1875. At that meeting, with the spirit of Jacob of old, after an all night session in the Harrison St. Baptist Church, men, brethren, Masons, who had desired union, worked for union, and sacrificed for union, were abundantly rewarded by the organization of the Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge of Virginia, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, which has continued to this day with only a slight change in name. Most Worful James B. Fuller of Norfolk, its first Grand Master, and Right Worshipful W. A. Perkins of Lynchburg was its first Secretary. In honor of the culmination of the spirit of unification, a grand street parade was had, and the noble and truehearted women of Petersburg tendered the newly organized Grand Lodge a splendid banquet. At the organization of the present Grand Lodge in 1875, the Union Grand Lodge was composed of seventeen subordinate lodges, and the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ancient York Massons was composed of eighteen, making a total number of thirty-five subordinate lodges. Masonry places its premium on quality and not quantity; it seeks to construct and not tear down; to support the laws of the country and not violate them; to elevate rankind and not be a menace to society and not be a fear God and to practice virtue, and publicity. It exists to better the world, to confer benefits on humanity, and to affectionately commune with the Household of the Faithful. Lodges Increased The subordinate lodges have been increased and the Grand Lodge now carries on its roster two hundred twenty-seven lodges, with a membership aggregating a boat twelve thousand. It is operating successfully an Endowment Department, another name for a systematic method of collection and disbursement of charity funds. In the past two years, there has been collected for this fund $22,817.42 and disbursed in the same length of time, for the benefit of widows, orphans, and designated relatives of deceased Masons the sum of $8,525.00. This phase of charitable work is being accomplished by the Grand Lodge, while the Subordinate lodges all over the State, have their ears open to the cry of the crowd and doing a commendable work on "relief." As there can be no play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out, so there can be no Masonry with charity left out. Committees on Ways and Means, Invitation, Program Entertainment, Transportation and Finance have been appointed and are perfecting plans for a great Masonic celebration, beginning September 15th and running through the 18th Grand Lodges of other jurisdictions have been invited and a large number of Grand Masters and their staffs from other states have been invited and are expected to be present. Blue and eloquent talks will be held, and illustrative and illuminous Masons. A grand street parade will be a feature of the celebration. Hundreds of Knights Templars in brilliant uniforms and immaculate white plumes will march as an escort for the Blue Lodge members who will be clothed in white aprons and gloves, while enlivening music will be discoured by many instruments from many bands along the long line of march. The greatest banquet in the history of Virginia Masonry will be tendered the Grand Lodge and its distinguished guests, including the Medal of War, States and other laures. At least ten representatives from each subordinate lodge are expected to be present on the day of the Grand parade, and they will also be guests at the banquet. All Richmond and nearby lodges will have their full membership in the "Grand Linc." Most Worshipful J. C. Robertson is Grand Master, Right Worshipful W. H. Harris is Grand Secretary, Most Worshipful J. C. Grand Master B. Evans is Grand Secretary, Most Worshipful J. C. Grand Master J. C. Carter is general chairman, and Brother H. L. Harris jr., is general secretary of the general committee on celebration. EDENTON Edenton, N. C.—Mrs. Martha A. Crecyre died at her home Sunday night, July 26th.

TRUXTUN NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Funeral Of Marion Edward Davis The citizens of Portsmouth and Tidewater in general were shocked and grieved to hear of the death of Marion Edward Davis Jr., the son of Dr. M. E. Davis, Presiding Elder of the Portsmouth District of the A. M. E. Church. The late Mr. Davis came to Portsmouth in 1910 with his patients and was a graduate of age. He attended the public schools, here, and later went to the Joseph K. Bricks School in North Carolina. Mr. Davis was of a singularly, sunny disposition and won hosts of friends in Norfolk, Portsmouth and Richmond where his father held charges. Although he had been in failing health for sometime, not one of his many friends and acquaintances was prepared for his sudden death at 9:15 Wednesday morning, July 29. The funeral was conducted at his late residence, 1245 Glasgow St., by the Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry, pastor of the North Street A. M. E. Church, of which Mr. Davis was a member. Dr. Berry was assisted by Dr. Drs. J. M. Armistead, Young, Blake, Blake u a t u s, Spratley, E. E., Smith and White. Mr. John Macklin sang beautifully the deceased's favorite song "Tell Mother I'll Be There. There were many beautiful floral tributes, cologne and telegrams from friends and the family from many states. The interment took place at Lincoln cemetery. Mr. Davis is survived by a father, Dr. M. E. Davis and a sister, Miss Carline A. Davis Ph. C. and a host of friends. CHURCHLAND GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH The Grove Baptist Church is rapidly coming back to her place of former years. Under the wise and progressive leadership of Dr. D. B. Moddana, an entirely new day has been realized. One of the most progressive programs is on the angerer. The enthusiasm ran high last Sunday as the pastor made the arrangement to the effect that the long felt need had been met—that was the individual communion set which was installed the First Sun. Wages of American Negro Laborer Far Exceed The Earnings of Skilled British Workman (Continued from page 7. York "cap". And by the way, the London policeman doesn't carry a gun. The culture of the English people best manifest in the manure in which the law is observed. In 1922 England and Wales, with a population of thirty-eight millions had 102 murders, while Chicago with its three millions and New York with its seven millions had over three hundred apices. To a Negro coming from the United States, the Mississippi is to say the least, refreshing. Color Prejudice And this is not to say that there is no color prejudice here. I have talked with several full-blooded Negroes and they have pointed out to me several places where they say they are refused servicemen; these are not black people, but many white people have also told me that the dark color is not so welcome as his color is obvious. On the other hand the fact is that very dark Negro acquaintances of mine go with white women to the best hotels and restaurants to dine and to dance and are received with the courtesy accorded any other guests. I have been told that the reason for this is that these men can afford to enter these expensive places they must be persons of consequence. Britain has many black kings and princes and who knows but that these Negroes may be one of them? And as to the Hindu princes, many of whom are quite Negro-like in appearance, they cut quite a figure in social life. One of them recently gave a party that was said to eclipse anything seen here for some time. As was said, it is a matter of class and mostly money. A black man who would be received at the Swavoya Court would be at Tottoman Court Road because it is assumed that if he was a person of consequence he would not enter the bitter place. West Indians of the poorer class blame it on the Americans, who they charge with importing color indices. They point to the time before the coming of the latter who England was a black man's man, and much of the blame is on the Negroes themselves, certain rowdy by their actions making it bad for persons of like color in certain neighbourhoods. White Americans have doubtless done much to spread color hate throughout Europe. In a recent talk with Mr. John K. Marshall, mentors and authorists books on the Negro, the latter assured me that American influence was at the bottom of the existing prejudice in London. Nevertheless, the black man still enjoys privileges unheard of in any part of the United States. But he must have money for if he has his this is about the last ace he can afford for it, as is understandable as so many here are already in need, themselves. I have met several Negroes who are doing well and they declare that the idea of their returning to their homes in the United States, or the West Indies, is unthinkable. As to the color question 'thes day of August. The services were perhaps the most effective and helpful in the history of the church, with a large number of people from Norfolk and Portsmouth. Dr. D. B. Midola, pastor of Grove Baptist Church accompanied by his sister-in-law, Miss Bertha M. Powell, and Mr. Richard Brown motored to Charlotte, N.C. last week. They visited several points of interest while there in South Carolina, returning Saturday to be at his post. — Misses Ethel Wainwright, Mael Hanna of Phoebus, Harriet Johnson of Truxtum, Messrs. Willie Lee and James Stanley were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Morris. — Miss Lillie Sawyer was the guest of Mrs. Mary Randall last week. — Mrs. Lula Elliott and Mrs. Olivia Stanley left Saturday for Philadelphia. —Mrs. Eiffe Reid Brown of Phoebe, Miss Gertrude Worsely of Rocky Mount, with her little friend were visitors of Mrs. Nellie Baker and Mrs. Austin this week. —The Love and Charity Lodge held their usual August Love Feast at their hall. Ice cream and cake were served. —Mrs. Ida McCoy who had quite a stay in Philadelphia is at home. The guests of Grove Sunday were enjoyed. The Apron Stage staged by Mrs. Addodana proved a financial success. —Mrs. Felton resented Mrs. Bertha Witlock a prize for raising the largest amount of money in her precinct. —Messdames Roxana Rodgers and Roxana Boman arrived last week from Philadelphia to visit relatives and friends. —General Wilson and wife and children of Norfolk were the guests of his mother, Mrs. Aldine Wilson and Madam Magee, Sunday. —Mrs. Susie Boone arrived from Waterbury, Conn., Friday for an indefinite stay. —Mr. Miles Elliott attended the funeral of his mother-in-law in Little Washington last week. BOGUS MONEY CACHE FOUND London—Detectives seized in a cellar here machinery weighing three tons that had been used for making counterfeit treasury notes seems to be little interest in it. The only times I have known it to be discussed by white persons was when I brought it up. Mixed couples seem to attract little attention Last Sunday at a Cricket match in Regent's Last Sunday at a Cricket match in Regent's Indian's I saw no less than six of the former go with as many white girls into a crowded tea garden. Remembering the furor such a thing would have created in America, I watched carefully but failed to notice the slightest excitement. It may have done so inwardly but perhaps those were too well bred to store. The English people, so far as I am aware, have the happy business of each minding the business of each minding. To get the average Englishman to converse you must begin, he'll be the first to stop. Surplus of Women England is a woman's country so far as numbers is concerned. The saying that there are seven women for one man seems to be literally true. They seem to enjoy considerable independence, too smoking on the sofa or drinking in the saisons with the men. And they do not seem the worse off for it. I have seen fewer drunken people in London than I saw in Harlem. One result of travel is to correct one's information. I had always been led to believe that American women are the prey of their Englishwomen. The reverse is true. In a matter of facial beauty and complexion the latter is superior. American women, however, dress better and move with more snap and life. Of course, I am speaking of white women, for I am still of the opinion that when it comes to looks and knowing how to put on clothes and then move with grace in them, Seventh Avenue belles have no doubt. English women are also much more natural and unaffected than American women, not, I suppose, because they're inherently better, but because they are so many they must compete for the men. In America with its greater percentage of men they must compete for the women. It is the old law of supply and demand. Boasting Tourists The average white American is little liked largely because he is an offensive booster and has a way of depreciating everything. The fact is that almost everything in America is on a newer, more modern and convenient plan, still it is bad taste to be always rubbing in such much better; but it is the other side of the net returns as we do in America: "If you don't like it here why don't you go back home." Here is one judged not according to his color but his nationality and I have constantly to be explaining in my own defense that the abovementioned type does not represent the better class of American in pretty much the same way that I had to tell white people at home that the rowdy Negro is not typical of the race. The middle I will tell of some of the historic places I have visited as the Tower of London, the Guildhall, St. Paul's Cathedral and some of the persons I have met. --- Late Model Funeral Coach In The City There are said to be only two of the latest model limousine funeral coaches in Norfolk and Portsmouth. One of these is in the possession of a white funeral director in Norfolk and the other is in the possession of a colored funeral director in Portsmouth, John H. Corprew. Both of these late model conveyances for the corpse have come into this section recently. The Norfolk undertaker getting his just a week before Mr. Corprew, it is said. These coaches appear to be the last word in automobile hearses. They are very commodious and built along wide lines. Equipment for convenient carrying of flowers surrounding the casket is installed in the interior. The flowers are always on display, while the body is enroute to the casket and burial of the flowers were built by the Meteor Mort Funeral Coach Co., Springfield, Ohio, from whom they were purchased.

Stay On The Farmis An official report on labor conditions in Virginia following that there is an over supply of common labor in and around Norfolk. This means that the class of workers whose wages fall in the lowest brackets when they An official report on labor conditions in Virginia following a recently conducted survey indicated that there is an over supply of common labor in and around Norfolk. This means that the class of workers whose wages fall in the lowest brackets when they are employed are finding less employment. In this situation the law of supply and demand is working inexorably to further reduce the wages of common laborers in this section, and to produce related socio-economic complications. Weather prophets have already come forth with predictions for a severe winter. In this connection welfare agencies and public-spirited citizens might do well to stress the "stay on the farm" idea with the aim of discouraging rural folks from crowding into the cities in quest of work that is not to be had. Particularly should the larger cities of Virginia make efforts to acquaint the adjacent rural population what serious conditions are inevitable should they begin a general influx to the urban centers. If we may not hope for much success with a "get back to the farm" movement, we might concentrate on a "stay on the farm" movement. An acre of good fertile and well drained farm land, enough to provide most of the required foodstuffs for a large family and leave enough to be converted into cash to purchase some of those things not homegrown, can be bought for less than the average city lot. Multiply this one acre by five and you have a nice little farm, sufficient to make an industrious, intelligent and up-to-date farmer independent. The outlay for the five acres and a modest farm home would not equal the cost of an ordinary city house and lot, whereas the city home buyer, if he is a common laborer is most certain to be carrying a heavy mortgage while faced with the constant uncasiness and perils of losing his job. Dr. E. C. Branson, of the faculty of the University of North Carolina recently startled the public welfare institute of the university with the declaration that nearly a million and one-half of the people of that State are landless and homeless. He said like conditions can be found throughout the South. Dr. Branson added to this statement an urgent plea that the people of North Carolina do every possible thing to better the conditions he described, which are true of practically all the states. A landless, homeless, nomadic race is certainly not a picture the imagination likes to behold. But it is a possibility, we might say, eventually, unless migration to the cities is discouraged and rural folks urged to become farm owners instead of farm croppers. You who are on the farms should stay there and study how to improve conditions around you, how to improve your lot, but for the sake of yourselves and families stay away from the crowded cities. Life is not so much what you make it here, as it is what conditions have already made it for Editorial Page of The Greatest Democrat Dead; Was Always on the Losing Side It was in the natural order of things that William Jennings Bryan, the greatest living Democrat, should die at Dayton, Tenn., in the midst of the Scopes trial for teaching evolution in the public schools contrary to the law of the State, and while inaugurating a religious crusade, based upon the supposed differences between religion and science, which may have plunged the Nation into a domestic conflict the outcome of which no man could forsee; not does his death necessarily mean that the crusade which he purposed will die with him. The accepted principle in our system of government is that separation of church and state is understood as a matter of course and that there shall be no unnecessary interference with the freedom of religious worship But Mr. Bryan was a bigot and fanatic of whatever cause he espoused, and he espoused no cause from his entrance into National politics, in 1896, when he was nominated on a free coinage of silver platform by the Democratic convention for the Presidency to his death at Dayton, which the American people endorsed when they had a chance to vote upon it. Three times Mr. Bryan was nominated by the Democratic party as their candidate—1896,—1900 and—1908, and three times he was repudiated at the polls. And yet he remained the greatest power in the Democratic party for quite thirty years. He did this because he was a great orator and a courageous crusader and always the leader of a section and a faction. He was not a great statesman; he was not a great thinker. He was a superficial thinker and an opportunist, but above all an orator, and swayed the masses as he swayed the Democratic Convention, in 1896, and captured the nomination for President, by such glittering rhetorical flights as this: It was in the natural order of things that William Jennings Bryan, the greatest living Democrat, should die at Dayton, Tenn., in the midst of the Scopes trial for teaching evolution in the public schools contrary to the law of the State, and while inaugurating a religious crusade, based upon the supposed differences between religion and science, which may have plunged the Nation into a domestic conflict the outcome of which no man could forseer; not does his death necessarily mean that the crusade which he purposed will die with him.

Mr. Bryan was the idol of the Solid South. He always had its undivided support, and he deserved it, because he stood unfinchingly for all of the reactionary policies for which the Solid South stands and which has kept it out of power, except in the case of Cleveland and Wilson, since 1860. Mr. Bryan split the Democratic party in the last National Convention, in New York, by taking sides with the McAdoo Ku Klux Klan forces against Governor Smith of New York, an Irish Catholic, and every body thought he had dug his political grave and dragged himself into it. Politically he had, but he came to life again as the champion of Fundamentalist Christianity, and while whipped in the last Presbyterian Convention on his hobby and at Dayton, he died in bed, full of health and planning a campaign of religious intolerance and strife. The spiritual powers that use men for a specific purpose allowed him to go so far and then cut him down in the hot of the conflict. And there is a deep mystery about that sort of thing which the wise men cannot fathom. Mr. Bryan was maliciously silent on the race question. All the efforts to get him to express himself on the question during the three campaigns he was a candidate for the Presidency failed. As the political idol of the Southern Democracy he had to walk a chalk line on the race question, and he walked it. On this as on other vital questions he showed that he was the subtle politician and opportunist rather than the statesman anawed and unafraid. As a member of Congress and as Secretary of State he demonstrated that he possessed no statesmanship qualities. For thirty years Mr. Bryan was a disturbing element in American politics; always destructive, seldom constructive, always stirring up sbrife,—sectional, race, class and religious,—and having been opposed to war all his days he desired to be buried among soldiers in Arlington Cemetery, in Washington, and had his desires granted.

Dr. Washington's Home The will of Mrs. Margaret Murray Washington has been probated. She left a modest estate of some $15,000, which she bequeathed to near relatives. The home and its contents, "The Oaks," was bequeathed to the two sons and daughter. It has been announced that the contents of the home were disposed of at auction.

It appears to us that the home and its contents should have been set apart as a memorial to Dr. Washington. It would have Norfolk Journal and Guide been to the advantage of Tuskegee Institute to have secured it for that purpose, and we are sure that the friends and admirers of Dr. Washington would have been only too glad of the opportunity to contribute the money necessary to purchase the home and contents for a memorial and for the necessary unkeep of the same. We feel that way about it. "The Oaks," as the home of Dr. Washington, has become famous in America and Europe to thousands of distinguished people who have enjoyed the splendid hospitality so long dispensed there by the famous educator and his wife. Dr. Washington's home and its contents should have been preserved as a perpetual memorial, the same as the home of Frederick Douglas at Cedar Hill, in the District of Columbia, and Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington and the home of Thomas Jefferson. Monticello, at Charlottesville, Va., and many another home of the famous men of the nation, not forgetting the modest home of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, Ill. We think the authorities of Tuskegee Institute have made a mistake in not buying in Dr. Washington's home and its contents as a perpetual memorial to the founder of the Institute, and holding the property until the friends of Dr. Washington and the Institute could organize and furnish the purchase and maintenance money necessary. It Does Not Pay To Be Old Any More Once upon a time, even in our own memory, old age was regarded as a crown of honor and relatives and neighbors vied in rendering homage to all such deserving it. "Old men for council; young men for war," was a current rule among the North American Indians. In this country and throughout Christendom the rule has been reversed. When a man or woman gets beyond fifty nowadays he is regarded as unfit for labor by the employees and corporations and if he has not made provision for his old age his own children soon come to consider him in the way and a nuisance. As for the wisdom, as for his past services, what do they count against the wisdom of the young who have gone through the schools and who imagine that they are capable of building on their own foundation? Very little. It wasn't so when we were young. We do not see that it is good to underrate old age, or to regard grey hairs with derision, now that we are getting along in years. We have as young a disposition and as lively an interest in the "passing show" as we had in the hedyc of youth, and it hurts us to see the young folks rushing ahead and making mistakes which they will have plenty of leisure to regret when they get old in their turn. But, "Youth must be served," and if it is not "thankful" for the service it will have a heavy price to pay when it gets old. Be kind and considerate to the aged. It will cost little, and it is their due, and remember, you also will be aged when the allotted years have been lived. —T. T. F.

"Decency should be the guiding star in the printing of news, editorials, advertising and all feature articles and illustrations." "Is it fit to print and to be read by my own mother? should be the test rather than 'will it sell more papers?'

Health Notes The insidious nature of syphilis and gonorrhea, the not infrequent development of complications due to the individual peculiarities of the patient make it imperative to the welfare of the infected person that he place himself under the continued care of a competent physician. Hence, druggers should refuse to sell nostrums for self-treatment of venereal diseases and they should direct the person, seeking treatment, to a venereal disease clinic or a reputable physician. All cases of general disease should be promptly reported as required by law to the State health authorities. The attending physician is responsible for instructing the infected person as to the nature of syphilis or gonorrhea, whichever the case may be, the necessity of continued treatment, and the inherent dangers to the individual and the community. Should the patient fail to continue under treatment or should be subject others to infection, it becomes the duty of the attending physician to notify the State health officer, so that the danger to others in the community may be removed by the enforcement of quarantine and necessary treatment. The Conference of the Venerable 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, endorsed a resolution recommending that greater efforts be made by official and voluntary agencies to devise measures for immediate disinfection of persons who have exposed themselves to possible venereal disease infection. Such prophylaxis it is urged would substantially reduce the number of cases of syphilis and gonorrhea. Immediate and continued treatment of venereal diseases should be stressed. Both syphilis and gonorrhea best yield to treatment in the early stages, but even old or stubborn cases of these diseases may be arrested or cured by continued and competent medical care and treatment. Veneral diseases are responsible for an appallingly great amount of suffering and for an enormous expenditure of money. This pain and this expense are largely avoidable, for syphilis and gonorrhea are both preventable and curable. We have seen that the situation is serious, but we have also seen that the remedy is at hand. Conservative citizens will see to it that all necessary things are done in their communities to suppress syphilis and gonorrhea, the age-old destroyers of health, wealth, and happiness. BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON (For N. A. A. C. P.) THE ISLES OF FEAR: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES. By Kathleen Mayer. Published by Messa. Harcourt, Brace and Co., 383 Madison avenue, New York City, Price, 3.50. By mail, $3.60. This volume on the Philippines is disappointing. The writer has a mass of material, but she presents it without pretense of style, and from the first page shows herself passionately biased against Filipino rule. Her three hundred and fifty pages retail cases of terrible injustice practiced by the Filiponis in power against their weaker compatriots. From cover to cover one hears only one side. Some of my readers may remember the book Dean Worchester brought out when America first learned that there were any Philippines, Spanish rule. The laborers were bled for taxes and when they could not pay were beaten and imprisoned. Then came the American Occupation and we learned with satisfaction of the beginnings of peasant proprietorship and the securing of the friar's lands. Now, from Katherine Mayo's book, we see that under our Democratic administration, when the United States desired to give the Filipino a greater share in self-government and when Burton Harrison was Governor, conditions became as bad as those Worcester described. There was no change of tyranny, only a change of masters, the caciques, or moneyed class of mixed Malay and Spanish blood, proving as heartless as the Spaniard. Here is the complaint (a most familiar one to us) of the Filipino renter: "Their complaint ran that for over three years they had never Saturday, August 8, 1925 been able to get a settlement from their landlords but had always been obliged to accept a running account, 'always favorable,' they said, 'to the man who kept the books.' They are thus held as peons and as usury is practiced of the most barefaced description, their lot is well nigh hopeless. If one dares to fight a cacique, his property is seized and he is turned out with his family penniless. His landlord is his judge at the court, and though there is a comblance of representative government, his landlord, by intimidation, is sent to the national legislature." As one reads one is forcibly reminded of the worst conditions among Nerries. According to our author, all this has come about since the Filipino got control of the government. The Americans, before Burton was Governor, were administering justice and building up a prosperous peasantry. Since General Wood has taken the governorship things are better, but they are still very bad. We are again and again shown that Filipino in independence means, not the improvement of conditions, but the tyrannical rule of the cuacique who "has one occupation—politics; one industry—usury; one hobby—gambling." Under Harrison, money was squandered and every department of the government that had been built up by the Americans, retragraded. Health, education, scientific research, all were sacrificed. And it has been Governor Wood's difficult task to bring something of efficiency again. The last chapters tell of the Sulus and Moros, haters of the Christian Filipinos. They seem to be a sturdy lot, without the vanity or the lack of humor of their persecutors. They turn to this country for justice. This is the picture drawn in this book. That it is biased is evident, but it is also evident that it has much irrefutable material in it. It makes one realize again that where tyranny has been long established the vote will not bring freedom. No granting of independence will make the peon a man. What will? This is what one enlightened Filipino thinks: That America should leave because she keeps the people at peace. "As long as she remains here the tao, (peasant,) who is slowly but steadily gaining in courage and in character because of the protection and encouragement that America has given him, will not be allowed to rise in mobs and settle this thing with his bolo." So something is to be settled and according to this authority independence should mean revolution. To faithful readers of Book Chat, I would like to state that when in my last review I wrote of South Carolina under Reconstruction "inadequate schools" became "adequate schools." the "in" must have melted off in the summer heat. The Poet's Corner Question BY WILLIAM D. ROBINSON Editor "Lyrical Heart Throbs" in Pittsburgh Courier Not whence we came or when or why or how. Impels the upward struggle toward the light! We came—let that suffice; some Mighty Powr Spoke or thought or moulded us from something; And made us masters of each passing hour,— Of each brief now, sole lord heir, god and king! He is a fool who says there is no God. He is a fool who thinks he understands The mind of that Supreme who from some clod. Created life and beauty for all lands. One thing alone we know; that concerns us: To find some solace for man's poor sweating brow! Let fools rave; the earth moves on nor heeds them! If there's a future, 'tis alone for those Who in the fleeting now, let Truth lead them Up the hot, rocky path God's great wisdom chose. "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution VI. Romanes—Another Evolutionist—Renounces Evolution. The late George Q. Romanes, as a brilliant scientific writer had scarcely a superior in Great Britain or elsewhere. As late as the publication of Professor Haeckel's "Riddle of the Univers," Professor Romanes was one of the strongest of all the advocates and expounders of Haeckel's materialistic evolution. His name was a tower of strength among evolutionists. But not long after the publication of Haeckel's book, Romanes renounced the theory of evolution, embraced the Christian religion and died in the faith that God is the Creator of all things and that Christ is the Savior of mankind. His rejection of evolution and his conversion to the Christian faith ought to have silenced before now the voices of those poorly informed evolutionists who are still saying that no scientist of note can be named that does not believe in the theory of evolution, and let it not be forgotten by any seeker after truth that it was the cross of Christ that became the beacon light that guided this distinguished scientist, as it has many others, out of the mists of uncertainty on his voyage to the haven of eternal peace. Haeckel Bewails Professor Haeckel, near the close of life, bewailing the fact that he was standing almost alone among German scientists as an advocate of evolution, affords another example of the misgivings of anti-Christian scientists when nearing the borderland of the other world. During the Torrey-Alexander noon-day meetings in Philadelphia, Dr. Kuhn, the celebrated African explorer and missionary, who before his conversion was a confirmed atheist and a favorite pupil of Professor Haeckel, made this statement as to his former teacher: About, a year ago on my return from Africa I visited Dr. Haeckel at the University of Jena. In the course of conversation I ventured to ask him whether the position he had taken in the "Riddle of the Universe" was still his conviction. He paused a moment and then said "I realize that there are weak points in my argument which will be known to the world in later days." "Do you really know there is no God? I then asked. "Of course I do not. I was an atheist once. I am such no longer." And then Dr Kuhn added this statement: "In spite of Dr. Haeckel's great age let no one be surprised if before he dies he comes out definitely for the cause of Christ and Bible Revelation." Prof. Tyndal, another friend and champion of Darwinism, wrote, "I share Virchow's opinion that the theory of evolution, in its complete form involves the assumption that at some period or other after the earth's history there occurred what would now be called spontaneous generation (life starling without parents) but I also agree with him that proofs of it are wanting. I also hold with Virchow that the failures have been so lamentable that the doctrine is utterly discredited." Prof, Virchrow, of Berlin, the highest German authority in physiology and foremost physician on the globe, at one time a pronounced advocate of Darwin and Haeckel's evolutionary views subsequently in his famous lecture on "Freedom of Science," while speaking of evolution made this statement:— "It is all nonsense. It cannot be proved by science that man descended from the ape or from any other animal. Since the announcement of the theory all real scientific knowledge has proceeded in the opposite direction." Subsequently at a convention of anthropoligists in Vienna, Vitchrow said: "The attempt to find transition from animals to man has ended in total failures. The middle link has not been found and never will be. It has been proved beyond doubt that during the last 5,000 years there has been no noticeable change in mankind." Haeckel, the most pronounced German evolutionist, author of the "Riddle of the Universe" be- wails the fact that he long in Germany contended evolution. He said that erin investigates of evolution come to the conclusion doctrine of evolution and regularly. Invasion is in and cannot be maintained he counts how carefully guided man is so talented scientifically vocates of evolution that have abolished it. Professor Paulsen is who, among his students of evolution, declared his belief's theory of evolution grace to the professor many. Prof. Rutger Reisch and pollen biologist of Germany, charge cases of the Havel type whening false with the pilus with natural science. Prof. helm Max Wundt, who stands at the head German psychologist, books in his earlier life port of evolution, but now later life characterizes earlier books on evolution. "The great crime of that will take all the new life to explain." Prof. Robert: Edward Hartman, the distinguished Christian philosopher under the title of "The Darwinism" traces its origin from the beginning of it through the seventies nineties and says, "In the time the first time a few situations of doubt and were heard but these swelled into a great voice aiming at the view of the Darwinian theory first decade of the twentieth it has become apparent the days of Darwinism are bered."
