"I know that we are criticized for working among other people than our own, but we recognize but one race, and that is the human race," declared Dr. C. E.

A., being held at the First Calvary Baptist Church, Henry and Wide streets, this city, September 1-4. Dr. Askew, in accepting on behalf of the Lott Carey Convention the invitations to the city and the cordial welcomes of the various professional and ministerial groups, said further that the members of the convention believed in giving as well as receiving, and if Norfolk gained any amount of inspiration from the presence of the Convention, so did the delegates of the Lott Carey Society receive inspiration to continue the good work being done. "We came to get inspiration by measuring the depths from which we have come and by measuring the height, already asserted, the choice of the rock, asserted The broad, and altruistic spirit of the Lott Carey Society was expressed in the response of Dr. Askey to a large degree, and to demonstrate that his views were those of the persons he represented, the delegates roundly applauded his statement. "We work a man downstream, a man downstream, a man downstream, Russian, African, Haitian, Caucasian, or Negro. We step in anywhere; there's fighting all along the line," he said. Dr. Schenck Delivers Welcome The visitors and delegates were welcomed to the city and its traditional hospitality by Dr. P. S.

Dr. Schenck, during the course of his address praised the improvement and progress of the race. He cited the fact that Negroes now are not satisfied with past performances, but are ambitious to do more and more. "The death rate about twenty years ago among Negroes was sturttling and heart-rending," said Dr. Schenck.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1925 McMILLIAN TO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR ON OCTOBER 9TH Judge Sargeant Overrules Motion For A New Trial And Sets Date For Execution, Defendant Remains Silent. After hearing arguments of attorneys Michael Waggenheim and Tazewell Taylor Jr., for a new trial for Earl "Doc" McMillian, convicted on a first degree murder charge in Corporation Court No. 1, August 28, and sentenced to die in the electric chair, Judge Sargeant Wednesday, overruled the motion and fixed October 9, as the date for the execution. McMillian was convicted in connection with the killing of young Harold Gregory in his father's store at the corner Chapel and church night July 18, when an attempt was being made by three alleged gunmen to hold up Gregory and his father and rob the store. The older Gregory also received a serious bullet wound. Charles Worden, an alleged accomplice of McMillian was tried last month and drew a life sentence. Thomas Evans Brown, a third man was killed by a stray bullet near the rear door of the house. Aby of his confederates on the night of the attempted robbery. Both McMillian and Worden were alleged to have given the police a signed confession of their part in the episode immediately following their arrest, which occurred within six hours after the killing. These alleged confessions were used against them at their trials, but only after attorneys for the defense, in the case of Worden, who was the first tried, had put up a strentuous fight to have the court declare them inadmissible. He took the jury just 18 minutes to convict McMillian and his punishment, while in the case of Worden the jury was out nearly three hours, J. L. Gregory was positive in his identification of McMillian. He swooped on the man who fired shots that killed his son and wounded himself. At Worden's trial, Mr. Gregory failed to identify Worden as one of the men who entered his store. McMillian's arrest in connection with such a serious crime brought surprise to a large number of up-town people where he was widely known. Although having been arrested once or twice before on very minor charges, every body who knew him had always regarded him as a working man. He had held several jobs along Church street and was working in a butcher shop on that street at the time of his arrest. Of course he was not regarded as a man of high repute, who would anyone who knew him ever thing he was a desperate. McMillian, when asked by the clerk of the court if he had anything to say to as why the sentence should not be imposed, remained silent. Hit Coolidge On Klan Appointment (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D.C., Sept. 3—Failure of President Coolidge to appoint a Negro to an office of Federal value, and the appointment of a Klausman as Customs Collector at Savannah, have aroused the interest of Negro political leaders.

Indictment Believed To Be Part of Plot of Certain Disgruntled Southern Politicians To Discredit Him. BITTER FIGHT OVER APPOINTMENT RECALLED Walter L. Cohen, Comptroller of the Port of New Orleans, who, with 10 others were indicted last Thursday by a federal grand jury at New Orleans on charges on conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act, furnished bail of $5,000 Friday. Following posting of his bond Comptroller Cohen issued a statement in which he said, "I was as much surprised as any person in New Orleans when I heard of the indictment," adding, "I was at my summer home when I was convicted of it and I at once returned to the city." He terminated his brief statement with a strong assurance of vindication. Thought Frame-up Victim It is said that certain Southern white politicians have been greatly aggrieved since the appointment of Mr. Cohen to the position he now holds by President Harding and have made various efforts to oust him during his incumbency. It will be recalled that in 1924 an effort was made in the courts prior to the national election to have Mr. Cohen declared an alien and therefore incompetent to hold a federal office. This effort proved a flashe. Mr. Cohen appointed a state senate in the United States Senate and it twice refused to confirm his appointment. After a hard fight lasting more than two years his appointment was finally approved after Presidents Harding and Coolidge had insisted on it. In 1922 President Harding gave Cohen the first of three recess appointments and he served without pay until his confirmation. Among others indicted were Dr. L. A. Meraux, sheriff of St. Bernard Parish; Capt. Joseph Johnson, of the New Orleans police department; Corporal John Conrad and Patrolman Paul Gibuchi. A Battisella, alleged heads of an extensive run running organization. The conspiracy charge sets up the allegation that various persons named in the indictment planned to transport 4,250 cases of liquor from Havanna, Cuba, to New Orleans. Three policemen were alleged to have assisted in the indictment. It is claimed that the liquor was carried from the ship in high speed motor boats said to belong to Patterson. Battisella is said to have been acting in the capacity of purchaser. Furnishing information as to the movements of customs boats is the charge made against Horn. It is alleged that Patterson consulted with Cohen, July 27, as to the whereabouts of a customs launch. One of the most interesting features of the new Union railway station in Chicago is the chapel where the bodies of the dead in transit may reverently be cared for and where travelers may come and pray while waiting between trains. Mrs. Laura E. Williams, Incumbent, Finally Wins Out Over Mrs. Susie B. Williams, Of Richmond. GRAND SECRETARY KELLEY AGAIN HONORED Richmond, Va., Aug. 31—While the men's lodges of I. B. P. O. E. of W. were staging a battle royal Friday night over the election of Grand Exalted Ruler, the Daughter Elks assembled in Armstrong School Auditorium were engaged in a contest scarcely less spectacular over the choice of a Grand Daughter Ruler. This contest at one time during the balkoning waged so hot that the Grand Exalted Ruler was said to have been summoned, who endeavor to equate the lady's power to that of the E. W. Williams, incumbent, of New York, finally won out over her staunch opponent, Mrs. Susie B. Williams, of Richmond. Grand Daughter Secretary Emma V. Kelley, founder of the Daughter Elks, who also wears the honorary title, bestowed for her life time, as Grand Supreme Mother, was, of course, relected. Mrs. Kelley's devotion to the lodge and her leadership which has been a recognized factor in the brand of Elks, have surrounded her with such a vast body of supporters that her position has never been seriously threatened. When the annual conventions convene, through the successive years instead of finding opposition, she generally finds increasing loyalty and honor. Mrs. Kelley went to Richmond with an excellent report for the very close interaction she only remained in contact with the lodges throughout the country but had set up new lodges in the East, far West, Southwest and foreign lands. The convention of the Daughter Elks was equally as enthusiastic as that of the men. Feminine Elkdom received an unprecedented stimulus as the various reports showing unparalleled progress were read. And it was the women in their immaculate uniforms who added zest and color to the grand parade. On the streets, everywhere their appearance was occasion for admiration and praise in the most successful in the history of the order and closed with the promise of unprecedented expansion for the order. Prominent Visitors Prof. D. C. Virgo, principal of Williston High School, of Wilmington, N. C., in company with Dr. D. B. Mdodana, pastor of Grove Baptist Church, Churchland, Va., and Rev. Dr. D. J.

BEDROOM INTRUDER ATTEMPTS ASSAULT ON YOUNG WOMAN Stranger Alleged To Have Invaded Privacy of Miss Johnson's Bedroom On Anne Street With Drawn Weapon Miss Elizabeth Johnson, 1406 Anne street, was almost hysterically frightened when she was confronted by an armed mule intruder in her bedroom who evidently meant to criminal assault. On Monday morning about 7 o'clock, reports filed with the police. The man, an absolute stranger to Miss Johnson, she stated, entered the house at a time when all of the male occupants had gone for the day, there being no other adult person in the home except Mrs. Joseph Manning with whom Miss Johnson resides. Noiselessly, he was said to have met her at the second room to the bedroom of the young woman, where he pointed a pistol at her, told her not to make an outcry and demanded that she submit to him. Miss Johnson did scream, however, it was asserted, which unnerved her would-be assailant who took to his heels down the steps. The young woman started in pursuit, it was claimed, when the intruder turned, menaced her with his pistol, warned her not to attack him. Attracted her screams, neighbors were said to have started to pursue the man, when he again turned and warned them to stop. The alleged intruder was described as a dark brown skinned man, wearing a jumper and overalls. The police were notified but no arrests have been made in connection with the incident. 12 PAGES IN TWO PARTS TWO-DAY DEADLOCK ENDS IN ELECTION OF FINLEY WILSON Steele of New York, And Henry,. of Philadelphia, Succeeded In Seriously Threatening Re-election.

The Mi-Tee Monarch band of New York, considered the cream of all bands appearing here, was engaged several weeks prior to the convention to give an open air concert in front of the News Leader building Monday evening. The News Leader, one of the biggest white daily newspapers here, advertised the coming of the Monarchs weeks before they arrived. And being a little late coming in because of an engagement in New York, threw was a great crowd around the News Leader place before the band even got to the city. Whites outnumbered the colored people who anxiously awaited the band. And before a crowd said by the officials of the paper to be the largest ever gathered there the band gave a wonderful concert. Tuesday a bandstand was built and Wednesday they were called on to perform again before even a larger crowd. This time they were presented with a silver loving cup by the editor.

The Enterprise Female band, of New York gave a concert at the city home for the inmates there. They also won a $50.00 prize for the women's band at the contest. "We think Richmond has awakened to many things since the coming of the colored Elks to the city. One is the uplifting influence of good music," said Irving May, treasurer of one of the largest department stores in the city whose firm has started a courtesy concert fund with $1,000 and promised to donate that amount each year to the organizing and upkeep of Community harm fund, which they have discovered the need.

THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS BEST IN HISTORY, STARTLING UPSETS ed Thompson Decisively Defeats Edgar Brown In Semi-final And Eyre Saitch In Final For Title Spectators Thrilled At Brilliant Stroking, Sportsmanship And Generalship-Of Contestants—Five New Champions Crowned In Tournament. By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. By P. Bernard Young, Jr. Bordentown, N. J., August 29, 1950. In final round of the Ninth National Championships of the American Tennis Association, held the past week on the six almost perfect courts of the Bordentown Industrial School, was the defeat of the twice national champion, Edgar Brown, in five magnificently played sets in the semi-final by youthful Tet Thompson, Washington. In tournament where he followed upset in quick succession, it would seem that a little of the glamour of Thompson's triumph would be lessened. But, in the opinion of the scores of players and tennis fans who have followed the national Games, of New York, eleventh ranking player, met defeat at the hands of Oscar Murray, Washington, in straight sets in the third round. Miss Nellie Nicholson, one of the best women players, rated B. Winston, in the third round, in an extra set match. Two ranking players, O. B. Williams of Chicago, and B. H. Hawkins, Indiana, were met entered in the tournament. Miss Alberta Ballard figured in her second upset when she defeated Miss Lillian Hines, fifth ranking player. These are among the more startling upsets. The ranking players met defeat as follows: Tally Holmes in the semi-final was beaten by the Scotch Saiten was beaten by Thompson in Woolridge, rated bouttenbeau so unexpected a setback to a prospective or present champion as that of Edgar Brown. Likewise, all are agreed that seldom has any gallery of the Nationals been so thrilled and so fortunate as to witness a match as brilliant, from the viewpoint of stroking and generalship, as the Thompson- Brown match. And the victory was no Duke; Thompson played perfect tennis, easily and daily. The sportsmanship of both players was tested and found to be real in this match. Other Victories Pall Before It Even the wonderfully played singles final between Thompson and Eyre Saitch of New York palled somewhat before the brilli- lance of the memorable semi-final. Few believed that Saitch could beat Thompson, even though he turned back the national champion, Tally Holmes, of Washington, in the semifinal, if the young star could hold the pace he set. Friday against Brown, he unacceptable tennis it was secured, and it was as the result of the final proved. 60 Year Old Woman Wins Championship For all five final champions were coursed in the hectic tournament. Tally Holmes and Ted Thompson were the only champions to retain a title—the triumphed again in the men's doubles. Miss Lulu Ballard, of Philadelphia, drove and volleyed her way to the finals of ladies singles, there to defeat Miss Isadore Channels female star of Chicago and three times champion, in straight sets. Lenore Cook, another Washington star, overcame some strong opposition for a victory in the junior singles final, defeating James Trottman, New Rochelle, in straight sets with the loss of but one game. Russell Smith, the champ, was not in junior event, being past the age limit. Misses Ora Washington and Lulu Ballard, both of Philadelphia, to capture the ladies doubles from Misses Channels and Lillian Hines, Kittrell, N. C., in straight sets, making Miss Ballard a double winner and Miss Channels a double loser. One of the most satisfying victories of the tournament was the winning of her first national championship by Mrs. C. O. "Mother" Steams, of Chicago, in the mixed doubles. She was teamed with Dr. Lilburn C. Downing, Roanoke, Va., who also holding his first national title. Mrs. Steams is over sixty years of age. The losing team in mixed doubles was a family affair, losing Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Knake Jones, of New York City. This was the only husband and wife combination in the tournament. Many Upsets Before Final Curtain Under the competent officiating of Dr. D. I. Hongo, New York, and Dr. W. H. Wright, Baltimore, none of the six courts remained idle over a few minutes. From Monday until Thursday the courts were open from morning until night. At the end of the morning it was not necessary to be all of the courts at one time to stage the matches so rapidly. But while the matches were being played at full speed, and before the final curtain was dropped Saturday afternoon, upsets were allowed one time, dope-upselling, followed one time, defeated Russo- mber in swift succession. South, Chicago, Junior champion and seeded player in straight sets and the third round. The score was 6-2, 6-2. Downing figured in another spectacular upset when he and Mrs. Seams defended the national mixed doubles champion, 6-4, in the second round. Miss O'Shea conquered of Mrs. Channels in the first round in the recent New York tournament, and a favorite to cop the title was put out of the running of Mrs. Alberta Ballard, sister of the camp, in the third round. And Still They Are Upset. John, Willerson, Washington, seventh ranking star, was put by one of the tournament's top players. Worcester Brother's championship titles, team of New Jersey, in second round. World also defeated Richard Haddin, fifth ranker, in the East versus West matches, reported elsewhere. E. (Gomes, of New York, eleventh ranking player, met defeat at the hands of Oscar Murray, Washington, in straight sets in the third round. Miss Nellie Nicholson, one of the best women players, rated third, was defeated by Miss B. Winston, in the third round, in an extra set match. Two ranking players, O. B. Williams of Chicago, and B. H. Hawkins, Indianapolis, were no center defensemen. Ment Horta Borta Ballard figured her second upset when she defeated Miss Lillian Hines, fifth ranking player. These are among the most startling upsets. The ranking players met defeat as follows: Tally Holmes in the semi-final was beaten by Saitch. Saitch was beaten by Thompson in the final. Allan Woolridge, rated fourth, was defeated by Thompson in the round before semi-final. Richard Willett, rated fourth, hands in the fourth round. I. W. Anderson, Southeastern champion and sixth ranking player, was beaten by Brown in the round before the semi-final.

Gomes and Wilkerson were upset early. Thompson, Hard Pushed Early Rounds Marvelous and superb. was the tennis shown by youthful Ted Thompson, as he exhibited the equipment in strokes and generalship to outplay and outgues his way to the semi-final, where he met Brown. But he had to meet with two players before getting to the New York junio: champion, Lewis Jones, in the third round lost the first set to Thompson in a few minutes. The count was 6-2. But the second set was the longest of the tournament, 15-2. Jones volleyed superbly, matched drive for drive and played an altogether remarkable final. The greater experience of Thompson counted in his favor, and he In the first round, A. Terry, one of New Jersey's stars, gave Ted considerable worry, taking the first set and making a strong bid for the second and third. But again Ted Thompson demonstrated the makings of a champion and won. He seemed, in justice to the player, to be showing just enough to win, as he once remarked to writer that too many players were around observing his play to open up. Brown Loses a Love Set Thompson's five set victory over brown was remarkable in that Ted was going better when the match neared completion than in its early stages. The scores prove that, as Thompson won, 6-4, 6-8, 6-1, 4-6, 6-0. That second set, credited to Brown, carries with it a noteworthy story of sportsmanship, to be spotted in this. Thompson won 28 games to Brown's 19, showing how decisively. The sportsmanship of victory, was. It was simply that Brown with his driving game could not cope with Thompson and his all court game. When Thompson elected to drive, he drove with more speed than Brown, but Thompson's most effective offense was a slick drive very difficult to return. Thompson covered court like few players can he anticipated many of Brown's maneuvers. Brown plugged away at Thompson's backhand, only to find it as stendy and almost as deadly as his forehand. He smashed the ball violently by plugging of the new champion was such that it was almost impossible to pass him at the net. And in generalship, even against the wizard Brown. Ted seemed to have an advantage. Wins First Set From Brown In the first set Thompson took his and Brown's service for a 2-0 lead. In the third game a beautiful backhand cross court shot won Ted's service for Brown. Set for Ted in the next game and Brown evened the score at 2-2. From here Thompson went ahead, winning the set 6-4, losing his service twice before the set was over, once when Brown made a game point after running far across into the next court for a great return. Ted Gives Away Set Point The stands were widely applauding. All along the good shots of Brown were applauded, even though sentimental starry favor of Ted. Washington star A the second won the first game of the second set for Thompson, and accurate lobbing won the second, and again Ted had a two gam NOTICE TO TENNIS PLAYERS Due to the lateness of the present tennis season, and the absence from the city of many of the players, among other reasons, the Tidewater Tennis Tournament, which was to be held on the 4th, 5th, and 7th of September, will be postponed until the middle of next summer. Executive Committee. lead. "All of the long exchanges were being won by Thompson, but Brown pulled through splendidly to even the count on the fourth game. The score went to 3-3, then 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, and then 7-6 in Brown's favor when Thompson lost a service. The second time that Brown was within one half of the set, he ballooned. Brown need Ted, and both players started to change counts, when the lineman called "fault." Brown said nothing, but looked perplexed. On the next serve, with one point standing between Brown and even terms in the set count, Ted purposely made no attempt to return the ball, and thereby gave Brown the set point rather than accept a doubtful decision, even though that decision be made just is the lineman saw the ball. It was a splendid exhibition, worthy of a tennis champion, the titleholder, the titleholder and accept his actions and play as the best. Brown, in appreciation, removed his hat and shook Thompson's hand. Then, in order to give Ted an even break, he made no attempt to win the first game of the third set. The act of both players was soundly applauded by the gallery, and some of those who once considered Brown a poor sport, changed their opinion. Brown was able to win only one game in the third set, Thompson winning 6-0. At the completion of the fourth set, Brown was in well that he waived his chance of having the regular rest period. Brown Best in Fourth Set. Brown asserted himself in the fourth set, cool, calm, and accurate, Brown fought desperately, with defeat leaming on the horizon, the driving star refused to acknowledge defeat short of fiveets. Stroking beautifully, using uncanny strategy, and scoring more passes on Thompson at the net, the team all by winning the fourth, 6-4, Brown gave his best and rallied time and again, but against Ted Thompson as he played Friday, Brown could not win. While Brown weakened, Ted spurred himself upward to the zenith of his career, winning the last set 6-9 for the match and the privilege to play in the final. This was the best match of the tourney, Switch Wins, in Hard Bracket While Ted was winning his way to the finals, Eyre Saitch, New York's star, was doing some wonderful playing to gain the right of entering the finals. In the first round Saitch beat Sterling Brown, Washington, 6-1, 6-2; in the second round J. Gaines fell before Saitch's wonderful play without winning single games, while he beaten by Saitch, 6-2, 6-3; and in the fourth and fifth rounds Saitch put out high canking players. Richard Hudlin and E. R. Simmons, Western stars ranking fifth and seventh, fell before Saitch's stroking in these rounds. Then in the semi-final the champion Tally Holmes went down before Saitch in straight sets, 10-8, 7-5, 6-4. Tally Holmes was leading 5-2 in the first set, but when Ted defended, Holmes was marked, "Our work is done," and thereupon was overtaken by Saitch and beaten. Sailch Puts Up Good Fight One of Sailch's best weapon: his cannon ball service, was not consistent. And when it was going at its best, Thompson continued to hit the ball. Sailch's service six times to one time in three sets that Sailch won when Thompson was serving. Ted won the first set 6-3 by cut- ting of powerful strokes of the New York at the net and by covering an equal amount of territory, at least. In the second set Saitch made his only real threat, leading at one time by 3-0. Thompson in turn took five straight games and was leading at 5-3 when Saitch rallied and went ahead, 6-5. After a hard fight, Thompson won the set, 8-6. In the final set Saitch slowed up, continued to play overhead shots too safely, and weakened on his service. The battle surged back and forth, to the stands it was only a matter of time before they knew the new champ would be crowned. The last set went to Thompson-56. Thompson has not been defeated in any tournament this summer. Other Finishers Show Form Thompson and Holmes were invincible in the doubles and won in three 'straight sets, though the solenid fight of Saitch's partner, George Smith, threatened to turn the tide of defeat several times. Saitch was not quite himself in this match, though he tried hard to NORFOLK-JOURNAL AND GUIDE SHIPS BEST IN come through. The score was 6-5, 7-5, 6-4. In the ladies doubles between Misses Channels and Hines and Misses Washington and Ballard, the former team in both sets get two games lead, only to have the latter team come through and win the sets at 6-2, 6-2.

Miss Ballard had little trouble in taking the ladies' singles championship from Miss Channels, winning the first set by taking six straight games after losing the first to Miss Channels. The second set was held close, Miss Channels showing a little of the form that once made her unbeatable. The count was 6-3. Mrs. Scarens and Downing won the first set in mixed doubles from Mrs. Jones and Jones, 6-2. The last set was in the grasp of the losers several times, but both teams faltered on the final joint.

Football talk seems to be slow in gathering full steam ahead, especially at this time of the year. The season is right here on us, just a matter of a few days—yet nobody seems to be saying anything in regards to what's what, who's who or why. The time is ripe now for football players to be learning the skills that things are traveling along now, when the season sets in, desks will be flooded with copy, some of the stuff that out to be filling in now. From what little that can be learned, prospects are very promising for an active period. Every team in the association will make a strong bid for the title. Some of those teams that suffered from weakness last year will come to the fore with teams much stronger. Lincoln has a lot of material, but how much she is affected by that loss remains to be seen. Other schools that have suffered losses have not been heard from yet. SOMETHING ABOUT THE RULES Knute Rocke, the football psychologist, of Notre Dame claims that the recommendation of the football rules committee that high school games be played in four 12-minute quarters instead of the usual 15-minute periods, is a "mighty wise one." He claims that the average high school squad is as husky and well conditioned as a college or university team and younger elevens ought to profit by this advice. That much is true in a number of cases and is not in a number of other instances. It does not seem that there should be a rule forcing high school elevents to play 12-minute periods. Seemingly that should be optional, depending largely upon the various coaches. If a coach finds that his team is not in position to stand the gaff of 15 minutes of play, he should be forced to the advantage of his eleven. There are plenty high school teams that are as highly conditioned as college or university squads and can stand the milling without any disadvantage. This might work well in most of the white high schools where the kids play football at an earlier age than youngsters in our high schools. In most cases, our youngsters in high school are around the age of whites who are in college, and when our boys reach college the whites are out. This is true because our boys usually start late, not having some of the advantages that make an earlier start possible, therefore, when they are playing high school football they can easily stand the conditioning grind. It is easily realized that young fellows should not be carried throughout that tough grind until their bodies are capable of standing it, but if a coach has a bunch of youngsters who can stand anything he gives them, why not let him play the full time. On the other hand, if his squad is not conditioned to play full time, he could easily reach an agreement with the opposing coach to cut the frogs. There are numbers of times when college and university teams are not conditioned to play the full 15-minute quarters and when cases of that kind arise, the mentors agree to cut the time in order-not to cripple their respective eleven. I have witnessed games where one team was in better condition than the other and the coach with the unconditioned team asked the coach of the better team to consent to a cut of time which he readily agreed. Conches are not of the type that they would take any kind of advantage just to win a game. They are gentlemen and sportsmen and will readily give over to such things. The Aeolian Athletic Club which functioned in 1922 has merged with the Norfolk Athletic Club for the purpose of giving Norfolk a first class representative athletic organization. This is one of the wisest athletic steps taken in Norfolk for some time. The officials and a number of members of both groups had been considering such a move for some time, but no one seemed to take any action in either direction, until the president of the former club attended a meeting of the latter and made known his mission and the thing was done. It is a known fact that both teams possessed some wonderful material and the bringing of both together ought to add much strength to the team. The team will still go when the name of Norfolk Athletic club. Men of the Norfolk Athletic Club and men of the Aeolian Athletic Club have played separately nearly always. They have always been on separate and distinct teams and players from both clubs have made reputations for themselves. With the merging, they are as one and from indications, the strengthened eleven will loom as a very formidable aggregation. There has been a long felt need for a first class gridiron team for Norfolk. This does not mean that the Norfolk Athletic is not of that caliber. It is one of the best squads that this city has boosted in some years. By the bringing of the best material in the city agility matches for a team, the team will turn into background minor eleven that do not possess the merits to represent Norfolk. Norfolk does not need but one good team as a representative and the Norfolk Athletic Club has been filling this role for quite a while. TEAM SUPPORT to show their appreciation through full support.

The class of team the Norfolk Athletic club has turned out deserves all that can be given it. Of course it is realized that when teams make poor showings fans do not care to patronize their games. The local clubs worst showing was in 1922. That was an exceedingly bad year for the eleven, but in '23 and '24 it made marked strides in coming out of the rut and seemingly this year will be the banger one. By the way of predictions, the Norfolk club should go through the season without a loss. a big help to the Hildale team and five of the ten leading base stealers are numbered among the ranks of E. Bolden's team. Big George Carr tops the list with 19 pluffer sacks to his credit. Carr is also close on the heels of the four hundred hitters with a mark of 392. Other Hildale players who have proved their worth as base stealers are: Warfield with 11, Thomas with 10 and Dick Lundy of the Bacharach Giants with a like number horns in ahead of "Bizz" Mackey who has stolen 9 bases.

The buildings are being put in order for the school term which begins September 5th. The old students will hold more classes in the teaching force at Clark.

There were 116 entrants in men's 41 in sample doubles, 35 in ladies' singles, 12 in ladies' doubles, 16 in mixed doubles, and 15 in junior singles, for a total of 221 entries in all events. No player was allowed to enter more than two events. One rule that has been severely criticized, and which many expressed the wish would be thrown out, is that players not enter men's events. The juniors are beating the men too regularly, it was hinted. Yes, Vincent Richards was only 14 or 15 when he and Tilden won the national men's doubles title. Dr. McCard was re-elected President for the tenth time. Miss Lauren McCard was vice president of the Association. All other officers were re-elected. The next tournament is scheduled for St. Louis.

Studio: 628 Chapel Street WOMAN'S MITE MISSIONARY IN CONVENTION HERE WOMAN'S MITE MISSIONARY IN CONVENTION HERE The opening session of the twenty-fifth annual convention of the Virginia-Conference Branch Woman's Mite Missionary Society took place yesterday at St John's A. M. E. Church, Norfolk. Interest in the work accomplished, shown by the encouraging reports submitted, and that in duties laid out for the ensuing year runs high. The convention was called to order by the president, Mrs. Jennie M. Hunter, at 9:30 a.m. m. Rev. J. S. Hatcher's instructive and inspiring annual sermon was preceded by prayer and praise service. Bishops, Presiding Elders, and visiting ministers celebrated communion service. After organization of the convention, several prominent ministers from various parts of the State were introduced to the assembled group by the presiding officer. The roll call revealed the presence of several new delegates and guests as well as many who had attended the convention in previous years. Annual dues from the officers and members amounted to an appreciable sum. The presiding officer made several announcements before the meeting was dismissed with benediction. Afternoon Session The convention re-assembled at 2:30 p. m., with Mrs. M. S. Johnson, District President, presiding After devotionals, officers and members of the Executive Board made special donations to the Contingent Fund, besides annual assessment given with the reports of auxiliaries. All of these reports showed encouraging results, and that the members had been wide awake since the last meeting. Following the introduction of a few of the church's eminent spokesmen, and several announcements, the meeting adjourned until 7:30 p. m., with Doxology and Benediction. The Woman's Mite Missionary Society, celebrating its 28th annual session and 25th annual convention, is an outgrowth of the Virginia Annual Conference which met first in Roanoke in 1894, and organized at this conference in 1897 in Wytheville, Vu. The work of this newly formed Society became so important and heavy that in 1900 in Richmond, when a special meeting was called by Bishop B. L. Lee, a resolution was passed divorcing the two conferences. This is the sixth time the convention has met in Norfolk, having convened in 1895, 1900, 1904, 1910, 1911, and 1925. All of these meetings in Norfolk were held at St. John's Church with the exception of the one in 1911 which met at John Brown (now Monumental) Church. The officers of the convention are Mrs. J. M. Hunter; president; Mrs. L. E. Cotton, 1st vice president; Mrs. M. B. Howerton, 2nd vice president; Mrs. A. E. Bowden, recording secretary; Mrs. R. L. Arnold, assistant recording secretary; Mrs. S. B. Nottingham, corresponding secretary; Mrs. H. T. Benjamin, treasurer; Mrs. C. M. Saunders, contingent secretary; Mrs. G. H. Hatcher, secretary-treasurer Y. P. Dept'; Mrs. M. N. Smith, Mission Study Class. The first evening's session of the Virginia Conference Branch Women's Mite Missionary Conference at St. Johns Church opened last night at 7:30 with very enjoyable singing by the church's choir.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Roland Williams, who passed away, August 28, 1924 It is so lonely without you brother, since you went away. We can't ever find another, that we can love the same way. We will meet some day to part no more. Mite Missionary Convention Leaders W. H. H. MRS. JENNIE M. HUNTER, president of the Virginia Conference Branch of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, in session here, Mrs. Hunter is regarded as one of the leading women of the A. M. E. Church, and her work as head of the Mite Missionary Society has been consonious for its success. Following invocation, Mrs. M. B. Young, president of W. M. M. Society of St. John's, welcomed the delegates and guests with a most hearty invitation to witness all of Neo-folk's marvelous waterfront, Navy Yard, Washington High School and many other points of interest nearby. She welcomed them into the church with its largest and best organized Sunday school east, and into the homes of its members. In her address, Mrs. Young also paid a high and worthy tribute to the present president, Mrs. J. M. Hunter, and praised the manner in which she had so nobly carried on her work. To this warm welcome, Mrs. G. E. Roberts responded in a sincere manner. She expressed the delegates' pleasure to be able to visit the city, and promised that when they left they would have profited ineffably by all which they have heard or seen here. Seldom is a similar audience favored with any selections in music such as were offered to the convention on this occasion. The choir completely captured the audience when they felt and sang accordingly, R. N. Dett's, "Listen to the Loomie." Mrs. J. M. Hunter, president of the conference, in her annual address, stressed the importance of service. Of the Negroes in Virginia, she said, only 36 per cent are church members. In some rural districts, she further said, church services are held only once in every three months. In vast Africa, inhabited by approximately one hundred million natives, there is only one missionary to over 43,000 people; in this far away heathen land made more lowly by insultant living conditions, average natives die at 21, and one half of the babies die before they one year old. These are the conditions we should strive to better. These are the people to whom we should send some of the $600 spent unnecessarily to every single dollar extended toward missionary purposes. In closing, Mrs. Hunter asked that the delegates stick to their pledge of last year to 'pray, study, work, give, and go,' and recommended that the family altar, revive the mid-week prayer, and every Christian try to win another for the church. Review Va. Conference Branch W. M. M. Society In this review, all angles of the work of the conference were reported on by various members and everything found in working order. The growth of the society was numerically shown by Mrs. M. P. Mackey. The following figures show the amazingly rapid progress made during its 28 years of existence: 1897, $23.04; 1900, $371.44; 1905, $755.88; 1920, $555.20; 1915, $628.55; 1920, $691.05; 1924, $8,075.48; 1925 ? ? The delegates and guests were entertained delightfully at a reception after the meeting. REV. R. H. BOWLING SAYS THEOLOGY HAS LOST MANY BATTLES "Theology is not simply those things written about God, Christ, creation, sin, the future, etc. which can never be gainaid in the light of newer knowledge." This was one of the opening declarations of Rev. Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church last Sunday night in his sermon on "Theology's Lost Causes." Continuing he said, "Christian theology is the total-body of beliefs agreed upon by great christian preachers and scholars, set down in their books, voted upon in their councils, sanctioned by their popes, and believed in by the masses of their followers. As such, theology must take the responsibility for its once universal teaching that the earth is flat. that it was created in exactly 144 hours, that it is not over 6,000 years old, as much so as Darwinism is responsible for the minor errors of Darwin and his followers which lated investigations have revealed. Theology Not Religion "But further, while theology is the science of religion, it is not religion. It is only the orderly NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM MRS. S. BLANCHE NOTTINGHAM, Corresponding Secretary of the Virginia Conference Branch of the Women's Mite Missionary Branch of the A. M. E. Church, in session here. Mrs. Nottingham is one of the outstanding women of the Connection and a recognized leader. statement of what men think they know about religion. Having said this much, you are already aware of two things: that theology has occasionally fallen into error, but that theology's errors have not invalidated religion, since theology and religion are not identical. Without trepidation, therefore, and with no feeling that we are offending our Father,—in this day of restatement and, in the hope of some, whom we think misguided. this day of reversion to outworn theological frameworks, — let us raise the curtain of ecclesiastical history and note some of the typical battles in which theology has gone down to defeat. A Typical Defeat "In the field of geography alone theology has lost many a hard-fought battle. Take for example the church's teaching about the inhabitants of the earth. On this point there were eleven centuries of error sanctioned by the church and enforced with every means of persuasion at her command. I refer to the church's hostility to the theory that there were antipodes, i.e., men living on the opposite side of the earth. Lactantius asked, 'Is there anyone so senseless as to believe that there are men whose footsteps are higher than their heads?' that the rains and snow and hail fall upward toward the earth?' Augustine declared, 'Scripture speaks of no such descendants of Adam.' He declared that men could not be allowed to live on the other side of the earth, since if they did they could not see Christ at his second coming. He said further that the supporters of this geographical doctrine 'give the lie direct to King David and to St. Paul, and therefore to the Holy Ghost.' These men were representative of the church's thought in the fourth and fifth centuries. In the eighth century Pope Zachary declared such a belief 'perverse, iniquitous.' In the fourteenth century they began to burn men at the stake for this and similar beliefs. Even in the age of Columbus Tostatus declared, 'The apostles were commanded to go into all the world and to preach the gospel to every creature; they did not go into any such part of the world as the antipodes; they did not preach to any creatures there; therefore, no antipodes exist.' "Then came Magellan, who sailed around the earth and saw the antipodes, lands directly opposite the ancient east and people living there. Later a missionary of the church declares, 'Whatsoever Lactantius saith, we that live now at Peru, and inhabit that part of the world which is opposite to Asia and their Antipodes, find not ourselves to be hanging in the air, our heads downward and our feete on high.' Then adds one writer, 'The French astronomers make their measurements of degrees in equatorial and polar regions, and add to their proofs that of the lengthened pendulum. When this was done, when the deductions of science were seen to be established by the simple test of measurement, beautifully and perfectly, and when the long line of trustworthy explorers, including devoted missionaries, had sent home accounts of the antipodes, then, and then only, this war of twelve centuries ended.' Theology had lost another battle! Why Theology Loses Likewise theology has lost battles in astronomy, in geology, in hygiene, in medicine, even in dogmatics proper. To the man who does not try to explain away these facts of history by fanciful phrases and brilliant suppositions, there comes inevitably the question: 'Why has the theology lost such battles?' For one thing, theology's formulators and defenders have been human and subject to error just as those whom it branded as infidels and atheists. Also, theology has frequently used unsafe methods to support its claims. It has resorted to metaphysics and phrase making to support dogmas when simple observation would reveal facts to the contrary. 'Another favorite method has been to combat science by setting forth the consequent contradiction or vitiation of theological dogma. For example, John Wesley once silenced his opponents by declaring, 'Unless witchcraft is true, nothing in the Bible is true.' But though they have given up the belief in witchcraft, Mr. Wesley's followers have by no means surrendered their Bibles. Winnipipe has twenty-eight pubs plagues. TOBIASAPPEALS FOR A SINGLE STANDARD IN AMERICAN LIFE Y. M. C. A. Senior Secretary Tells White Audience They Cannot Know The Negro By Talking With Servants. Channing H. Tobias, Senior Secretary of the Colored Work Department of the National Y. M. C. A., delivered an address at Chattauqua, N. Y., before more than a thousand persons in the historic amphitheatre of Chattauqua Institution on the subject, "The basis for a Forward Movement in Race Relationships." He declared that the first essential to proper interracial understanding was an open mind and deplored the existence of organizations that insisted upon a closed mind on any public issue. The speaker also urged his white hearers that they become informed concerning the worth-white achievements of Negroes. In this connection he said: "You cannot know the Negro by talking with your housemaid or bootblack. You can only know him by communing in person or through the written word with those who are capable of revealing the soul of their people. In order to accomplish this you must visit Negro homes and public institutions and become acquainted with Negro newspapers and magazines. As you begin to know the Negro in this way you will think of him less as a problem and more as a national asset." The climax of the speaker's address was an appeal for a single standard of personality in American life in which he reminded the audience that if a man is discriminated against because he is ignorant or poor he could overcome the handicap by acquiring learning and wealth, but if he is discriminated against because of color the discrimination is based upon something which the man is powerless to remove and which if he is at all self-respecting he would not remove if he could. Following the address an hour was spent by the speaker in answering questions which members of the audience were led to ask. JOHN WESLEY M. E. CHURCH The Sunday school was well attended and everybody seemed to have made a special study of the lesson. The Bible Class was at its best and with Mr. T. J. Williamson, the newly appointed teacher, the class has taken on new life. At 8:30 p.m., the District Superintendent, Dr. H. L. Ashe preached a strong sermon from 2 Kings 6:17 and used as a subject, "Spiritual Environments." At 3:30 p.m., Rev. McGowan preached to the Longshoremen, and used as a subject, "Keeping The Faith," found 2 Timothy 4:3. In the discourse the pastor brought out the fact that faith is an indispensable factor in the success of the life of a people, community, state, country or generation, and regardless to what vocation of life we may be engaged, it is necessary in the first place to have faith in one's self. Second, we must have faith in the other fellow. Third, we must above all things keep faith in God. After the sermon Mr. Stacy Roberts, president of the organization, made some very timely remarks and raised a sum of $20.07 which went on Club No. 1, building drive, which was very much appreciated by the church. The fourth Quarterly Conference was held Monday at 8:30 p.m., with Dr. Ashe, District Superintendent presiding. The church has made wonderful progress this year and Dr. Ashe was very much pleased with the work. Rev. C. P. Dixon Is Preaching to Crowds Revival meeting that has been in progress for four weeks at a strawberry capping factory on Perry serect, conducted by Dr. C. P. Dixon, the colored Billy Sunday, will close Friday night at which time Dr. Dixon will preach on the subject, "Dry Bones in the Valley." There have been 48 conversions up to this report. Last Sunday at 2:30 o'clock Dr. Dixon lectured to a large crowd of men only and at 4 o'clock he lectured to women only. Practically all available space in the building was taken by the women, who also raised the largest amount of money. At 8:30 o'clock he preached to a very large audience several persons being turned away on account of inability to gain admission to the building. During the progress of the revival, one white man, who was said to have gone to the vicinity of the meeting in search of whiskey, professed conversion. Rev. and Mrs. Dixon will leave for Newport News Friday night. MT. LEBANON BAPT. CHURCH The early morning prayer meeting was very uplifting last Sunday. Many new scholars are being added to the Sunday school. In the morning service Rev. Billups preached an able sermon from Acts 16:25. In the afternoon Mrs. Watson spoke to the Missionary Circle. The B. Y. P. U. had a very large number present and rendered an excellent program. At night the pastor preached a brief and spiicy sermon. Rev. Billups will preach here next Sunday morning, and at 3 o'clock Rev. C. M. Long will preach. Communion will be administered at night. MERIT SHOE CO., INC.

Y.—Marion Anderson the young colored singer from Philadelphia received a tremendous ovation when she appeared here in the Lewisohn Stadium as soloist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, last Wednesday evening, before an audience that numbered 7,500. No singer has ever received a more cordial reception, nor was paid a higher tribute than that she received from that vast audience, which made a most brilliant setting. The announcement of her appearance at the Stadium brought out the third largest gathering of the season, and attested to her powers as a singer, and the place that she has made in the harts of the American public. Supreme Test of Career It was the supreme test of her career, and she appeared to fine and distinct advantage. She measured up to every test to which she was put. Her voice which is one of fine contralto quality was easily heard at the fattest point in the Stadium. SOUTH HILL First Baptist Sunday school was largely attended. Lesson was explained by the pastor.

Finely proportioned, richly painted windows; deeply carved panelling, magnificent pictures and sculpture; elaborate roofs with massy beams and sculptured ornaments strike the eye. Most striking of all is the House of Lords in which stands the Throne glowing with gold and colors. Another rendezvous of the tourist is the Tower of London, a grimtime-stained fortress besides the Thames, not far from London Bridge. The Tower is also very old, dating back to William the Conqueror (1066 A. D.) Many noted figures have been held prisoners within its wall among them being Sir Walter Raleigh, founder of Virginia, and the introducer of tobacco in England. In the court-yard a tablet marks the spot where Henry VIII chopped off the heads of two of his six wives. The most striking feature of the Tower is in the Wakefield Tower wherein is displayed the Crown Jewels of England. Such a scene of wealth and magnificence as I had believed existed only in the tale of Alladin Cases filled with priceless jewels, and heavily-embroidered swords and maces, all of purest gold, line the walls while in the center behind a heavy grill is a still grander sight of flashing diamonds, gleaming pearls, and glittering golden emblems. Two of the most striking of these are the Imperial State Crown in the center of which glows an enormous ruby. This crown also contains 2818 diamonds, one of which is cut from the famous Cullian and weighs 309 carats. It also has 297 pearls, 2 sapphires, 56 brilliants and 52 rose diamonds. The other—the Imperial State Crown of George V. he has 6170 diamonds and other gems half as many. Sceptres, orbs, coronets, bracelets, baptismal forts and emblems of knighthood unite to form a scene of splendor and richness beyond compare. No wonder that Blucher, co-worker with Wellington, conqueror of Napoleon, exclaimed when he saw London: "God what a city to loot!" In the Tower of London is also the Armory with a specimen of almost every weapon of offense and defense known to man. The entire basement is filled with weapons captured by British soldiers in the wars they have waged in almost every corner of the globe. The British Museum The latter is a grim building of severe Grecian architecture, blackened by almost a century of London air, the grimest on earth. The museum lacks the handsomeness, inside and out, of the Metropolitan Museum on Fifth Avenue. It's collection is more original, notably among which are the Roretta Stone, the key to most of our knowledge of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian rooms contain fine originals of some of the ancient Negro and Negroid kings of Egypt as Rameses II, Amenhemet III, Thotmes III, Senusret III, and Usertsen I. In another room are the famous Bronzes of Benzin, all the work of the people of Benzin, West Africa. These bronzes give the lie direct to those who assert that the native African is not capable of high artistic feeling. The library of the Museum is a drab looking circular hall with a great dome, lacking the palatial beauty of the Congressional Library. However, it is one of the most nearly complete in existence, and is the mecca for scholars from all the ends of the earth. To enter this library a card of admission is necessary.

ASSOCIATION FOR SOCIETY OF NEGRO STUDY TO MEET Dr. Alain L. Locke. Dr. James. No description of London, however would be complete without mention of Hyde Park. Here, near the Martle Arch entrance nearly every creed and sect in London gather to expound their views. Catholics and anti-Catholics; Protestant and anti-Protestants; Communists, and their foes the Fascists; Socialists and anti-Socialists, Christadelphians, Agnostics, Hindus, Negroes, Jews, Parsees and the exponents of a dozen freak faiths are holding forth at full blast while topping all in the singing of the Salvation Army. To understand the babel that ensues it is necessary to know that all this goes in a space less than two hundred yards square. The most interesting fact for the philosopher is the manner in which these opposing creeds hold forth, giving the impression that to each and each only is revealed the mind of God. A great crowd hovers around the spot, and Cupid hovers his' in by using it as a place where the girls come in large numbers to meet the red-coated soldiers and get a beau for the evening.

Dillard Will Speak On Civilization of Africa; Other Noted Speakers Slated. On the 9th and 10th of September the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will celebrate its Tenth Anniversary in Washington, D. C. Coming to the end of the tenth year of this first systematic effort to embody the civilization of the Negro, the management invites special attention to this occasion. It marks an epoch in the development of the Negro. The race has been gradually taught that no group can make much progress without preserving a record from which its program for the future can be worked out of the wisdom which can come only with an appreciation of the failures and successes of the past. The Association has, therefore, increased in favor with many who at first did not take it seriously. Some thought that the society might not add anything new to the already voluminous and worthless literature on the Negro. The work did not proceed far, however, before the scientific publications of the Association convinced intelligent people that this organization had invaded a new field to render the cause of truth a distinct service. It has published facts in scientific form, believing that facts properly set forth will tell their own story. Noted Educators Comment Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician of the Prudential Life Insurance Company, likened the movement unto the important work started by John R. Green in popularizing the history of England. A. A. Goldenwiser characterized the enterprise an excellent one deserving an enthusiastic support. Dr. J. Franklin Jameson, editor of The American Historical Review, endorsed the effort as an undertaking deserving a cordial welcome. Professor W. B. Munro, of Harvard University, acclaimed the first publication an historical journal of excellent quality, and Kelly Miller, styled it the most scholarly magazine ever published by Negroes. And this is the standard to which the Association has adhered. It has not tried to whitewash the Negro by proclaiming his achievements without noting his failures. Furthermore, it has not endeavored to publish what the whites have thought of the Negro, not what they have done for their brother of African blood, and not what they have done against him. The aim of the Association has always been to adhere to the new plan of presenting the Negro himself to the world as reflected in what he himself has thought and felt and attempted and accomplished. In this way the Association has secured the support of both races who appreciate the value of saving the records of the Negro that the race may not become a negligible factor in the thought of the world. Program For Anniversary In working out the program for this celebration of the Tenth Anniversary all aspects of Negro life and history have been taken into account. Dr. Alain Leroy Locke of Washington, and Dr. James H. Dillard, of the John F. Slater Fund, will speak on the civilization of Africa. Mr. R. Maurice Moss, of Baltimore, and Mr. Abram L. Harris, of the Minneapolis Urban League, will discuss present day conditions of the Negro in Baltimore, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati. Prof. William T. Laprade of Duke University, President J. P. McConnell of State Teachers College of Virginia, and Dr. Charles H. Wesley of Howard University, will deliver addresses on the Negro before the Civil War. On this occasion the program will carry something new. Realizing the importance of definite knowledge of the achievements and (Continued on Palte Nine) possibilities of the Negro in the economic world, the Association has engaged Mr. W.

KELLEY LEE The 18th annual convention of the National Association of Colorectal Graduate Nurses was held at Ebencer Church, Rev. Scott Bartewt pastor, Jacksonville, Fla., August 18-22. This session was voted one of the best on record for the association. Matters pending for some time were discussed and settled, chief among these was the student aid fund which was started and is to be maintained by assessment of $1.00 a year for each member. The object of this fund is to aid some worthy girl in preparing herself for the highest field of service in the nursing profession, the course to be chosen by the individual. This is regarded as something very worthy and tangible and commends itself for the support of each member of the organization, "Preparedness" is the slogan of the day, and the nurses' organization is cognizant of this fact. The foregoing was the special business of Tuesday morning's session, preceded by the executive session, registration of members, payment of dues, song, invocation, roll call, minutes of previous meeting, report of committees and music by the Brewster Hospital alumni. PUBLIC MEETING The first public meeting was held in the magnificent edifice of Bethesda Baptist Institutional Church, Rev J. E. Ford, pastor. The mayor of the city, Hon.

N.; the address on behalf of the medical association of Jacksonville was delivered by Dr. C. V. Freeman and on behalf of the Women's Federated clubs by Mrs. S. G. Baker.

H. Crocker, secretary-manager, this week, who added that this year's event, which will be the 15th annual exhibit, undoubtedly promises to eclipse the very best efforts ever put forth by the management. The Tidewater Agricultural Fair now familiarly designated as the Suffolk Fair, is officially recognized as the Negro State Fair. For its splendid attractions, high educational value and improved methods of operations it is nationally recognized. A unique feature about it is that during its 15 years of exhibiting it has not witnessed a single failure from the standpoint of attendance, attractions and entertainment. Horse Races A Feature The harness races of the Tidewater Fair are familiar to horse men and race track fans within a radius of several hundred miles of Suffolk. They are a special feature aside from the purely educative exhibitions, and have thousands of followers. This year the fireworks will be among the most spectacular ever seen in this State, according to predictions made by officials of the Ohio Display Fireworks Company, to whom the contract for the display fireworks has been awarded. Household of Ruth in Portsmouth, last week. They are now looking after their own household affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, of New York City, have concluded a stay with Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Crump, in Church street. Miss Carolyn Graves, who has been spending the summer with her mother, left a few days ago for Harrisburg, Pa., to resume her studies in the senior high school, of that city. Mrs. Octavia Jenkins, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Mary E. Brown, in Liberty street, left Sunday for Harrisburg, Penn., to spend the winter with her son, the Rev. C. F. Jenkins. The Misses Helen Beiry and Helen West, spent Saturday and Sunday in Drivers. Mrs. W. W. Holland and daughters, Inogen and Pearl, have returned from a pleasant stay in Richmond. Among our leading business men, one cannot overlook Mr. R. S. Vaughn, on the Norfolk blvd., where he runs a full store of dry goods, giving the appearance of its first class store, second to none of its kind. Add to this, his farms and you find one of our most unassuming business men, and reads the Guide. Mr. C. H. Davis, County street, is another strictly business man and merchant. Watch this column for real Suffolk news. Look up the Labor Day 'ad' on this page. He is the man. Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, of Camden, N. J., is spending some time with her sister, Mrs. Ritter Porter, in Mahan street. Services at the First Baptist, in Mahan street, is holding its own as a working factor in this city. The Sunday school and other services are up to par. Last Sunday the Rev. Thomas Jackson, of Philadelphia, Pa., preached the morning sermon. Rev. P. R. Liverpool, of Tannappahnock, worshipped with us. Rev. H. E. Willhams, of Richmond, spent the week-end with Dr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Harrell, in Mahan street. Mrs. Cassie Harrell, daughter-in-law, also spent Sunday with them. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hunter, Mrs. Willie Boone, of Philadelphia, Pa., accompanied their father, Mr. Oscar Hunter sr., to his home, in St. James avenue, Sunday. He is much improved by his long stay with his children in Philadelphia. Damon Gualtney, of Washington, D. C., is spending some time in the city settling his mother's estate. Little Miss Ollie Graves is a real paper seller girl. Two weeks ago she was selling 30 papers per week. This week she orders 40. She is every inch a hustler. It may be that it is because she lives in the neighborhood of the First Dr. Harrell's Baptist Church and his intelligent people. Bruce, who lives with the reporter, carries 103 papers every week. The reporter is canvassing but gives his subscribers to the carrier of that district. Messrs. C. H. Davis and David Clark visited the famous Belleville section last week. They can tell the story of those great people down there. The revival services st the Allen Temple A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. Dr. C. L. Alexander, pastor, is attracting the largest crowds in the history of the church. The pastor preached Sunday a. m.; Mrs. Cora E. Jones in the afternoon and the Rev. Mr. P. R. Liverpool delivered an able sermon at 8 p. m., which was followed by Mrs. Rotelia Perkins, the evangelistic singer. Six conversions joined at this meeting. Mrs. E. M. Griffin and brothers are visiting their old home up in the hill country. They may be back soon. So many invitations are sent in to the reporter that he is afraid that he cannot attend them all. Just send him the news, if he is not there The Guide is regarded as the best namer for news. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Colden have returned from a motor trip to Richmond. They report a fine time with those horned animals. Mrs. Fannie Colden has returned from Portsmouth, where she attended the Grand Lodge of the Household of Ruth. There were many others from this city. Mrs. G. R. B. Blount, of Nevada street, who was ill for three weeks is now regaining her good health. Drs. D. C. and A. R. Fleming spent Sunday with their mother, Mrs. Vaughan in Newport News. They were accompanied by Mr. G. V. Tynes. There are three or four churches over in that section of our city known as Pleasant Hill. There are many as well behaved men and women as may be found in any part of the city. At the Pleasant Union Baptist Church you will find the very able pastor, the Rev. W. A. Cobb. His young people are about to carry things in their own right way. The same may be said of the First Baptist with the Rev. W. F. Brinkley, pastor. Splendid and instructive services are held at these churches every Sunday. Like pastor, like people is one of the religious characteristics of these people. In the city, the St. Mark P. E. Church has a small, but substantial membership. Some of our best business men and women worship there. Rev. T. J. Johnson and Rev. W. E. Spratley are making very good at the Pine street Baptist and the Macedonia A. M. E. Churches. Sunday, the 13th, the Rev. Chas. H. Pennoyer, a white Universalist minister of Boston, will preach at one of the morning or afternoon services of the Pine Street Baptist Church. He will be the guest of Dr. Jordan. At the Pleasant Union Church, the Rev. Mr. Johnson, of the Union Baptist Church, of Norfolk and PinyGrove, preached for us. In the evening, the Rev. Mr. Smith, of South Suffolk, began our revival services. Miss Cotelia Crocker was the delegate to the Sunday School Union held at Little Zion, in the county. Miss Pecola was the representative on the program. At the First Baptist, the Rev. Brinkley pastor. Mr. Charlie Davis, superintendent, conducted the Sunday services, which were largely attended. At 3 p. m., Rev. M. C. Moore preached for our Home Mission Society. Mrs. Cora E. Palmer attended the Sunday School Union at Little Zion, last Sunday, and reports a great success. Master Raleigh Reynolds, Harrellsville, N. C., is visiting par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds. Mr. Langston Kirby, Mrs. Lettie Boone and Mrs. Lillie Goodman attended the Elks' Convention. The club held its regular meeting Tuesday. Plans were perfected for the Labor Day Outing. Miss Eunice Porter informally entertained the club at the home of Mrs. Carrie Lee Bonner, which marked the end of the prize week. Mr. Haywood Anthony won the prize for the lucky number; Mrs. Charlie Ballard, the lucky letter, and Mr. J. Edward struck the money in the cake, and Mr. Stanley Barnes was the highest bidder for the "Box of Secrets." The contest was very much enjoyed. "O'Henry" is about to, or has made its debut in the city as a Negro drug store or a place where we can go and buy drugs, drinks, cream and listen to our music. Mr. Joe Coppage will have, or has charge of everything, including the Journal and Guide. Several copies will be sold at this old stand. Keep your eyes open for its big advertisement, probably next week. Mr. Coppage has been expecting to take charge the first day of this month. Mrs. Alice Hargraves, who has been the several weeks' guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams, in Tynes street, has returned to her home in Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Martha Sharpe has returned from an extended visit to New York City. Miss Elnora Ball, after being the guest of Virginia E. Jordan for a week, has returned to her home in Fredericksburg, Va. Prof. W. H. Tate is visiting relatives in Lawrenceville, N. J. He will be out of the city for several days. Mrs. A.B. Willis, and daughter, Dorothy, who is a teacher in the S. N. T. S., have returned from a visit to her sister, Mrs. M. J. Troy, New York City, and will resume her position as teacher. A letter from Texas informs us that the Guide is promptly delivered down there. Another letter from New York says that she cannot buy the Guide in that city because she cannot get to the stands in time. INFORMATION WANTED INFORMATION WANTED Mrs. H. A. Jordan wants to know the whereabouts of Miss Dorothy Johnson, a girl of 15 years, light complexion, keen features, four and half feet tall, weight about 107 pounds, who left her aunt's home Mrs. Nannie Epps, in Norfolk and Western avenue, in the afternoon of June 15, 1925, this city.

Of this amount $15,000 is invested in U.S. Government bonds which mature in 1928. District Grand Secretary Shirley's report showed that from July 1, 1923 to June 30, 1925 the amount paid for the relief of sick was $17,572.13; for burials, $13,851.15; to widows, $4,168.71; to orphans, $603.19; for charity, $4,062.70; property value, $314,014.68. The present membership of the order in this State is 12,987. Credit for the growth of Odd Fellowship in Virginia is laid to the prompt payment of death claims, this being done in less than 24 hours after filing of the necessary papers. Only three lawsuits have been faced during the past 18 years—and they through misunderstanding on the part of the beneficiaries. Reports by the district grand treasurer, T. S. Bagnall, and F. D. Banks, district grand auditor, were in keeping with those given above. Wednesday evening the delegates were entertained at a most enjoyable program presented by the juveniles at Emanuel A. M. E. Church, followed by the rendition of "The Story of the Lord's Supper" by Prof. Hiram Simmons and his company of well-trained musicians. Closing Day Aside from routine business on Thursday was the memorial service for members of the order in Virginia to die during the past two years. This service was very impressive. A donation of $25 was sent to the district wrist director, Rev. J. H. Binford, of Richmond, who was recently stricken with blindness. $25.53 was contributed by members of the district gran dlogue to assist Joseph Joyner, an invalid member in Portsmouth. A number of other charitable gifts were made. After installation of officers and the adoption of resolution, thanking the people of Portsmouth for their hospitality, the district grand lodge adjourned to meet in Farm- LITERATURE National Baptist Pub- lishing Board of the NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE CUT OUT AND SEND THIS BLANK: CAREFULLY EXAMINE YOUR ORDER BEFORE MAILING Name of Sender_____ Number_____ R.

The teachers who attended summer schools are better prepared for the work of the coming year than those who did not. The Jews are making much headway in building up the waste places of Palestine and in making homes for Jews who want to return to the homeland. It is announced that the Palestine Foundation Fund has spent, from April, 1921 to March, 1925, in the good work $8,646,750, Americans contributing more than 60 per cent of the total, the Jews of fifty-two countries contributing 40 per cent. Agricultural colonization is the chief activity of the Fund in Palestine, "over $2,570,785 having been spent in farm enterprises, which have developed a definite back-to-the-farm movement among Jewish settlers in Palestine, the majority of whom come from the ghettoes of Eastern Europe with no previous agricultural experience." The National Crime Commission It has been stated in authoritative terms that the American people are the most lawless of all moderns. There are among them more murders, more general disregard of law and legal process. In the old and conservative countries of Europe, law and legal process are respected because the people have been educated to do so by centuries of relentless pursuit and prosecution of lawbreakers. That is to say, the majesty of the law has asserted itself through centuries of discipline. Criminals who get into the toils of the legal authorities know what to expect. They get no clementy from the public or the lawful authorities. This condition envisages the highest form of civilization; for, after all, a people's civilization must be judged in terms of security of life and property. The fact that the United State is a new country, measured by Old World standards, and that it is a self-governing democracy, does not explain the fact that the United States has become the most lawless of the Nations in the matter of life and property. It was not always so. It has been only since the Civil War that lawlessness has gradually creeped upon the National body until now the whole body has been covered by it. The daily newspaper record is one of lawlessness, for the most part. It is regarded as a hopeful movement that some of the strongest business and professional men of the Nation have got together and organized the National Crime Commission, with unlimited money to finance its work, and with F. Trubee Davison as chairman. The primary objects of the commission are to cope with crimes of violence and the tardy and lax administration of the machinery of justice. Besides having a sufficient working committee and machinery of its own the commission will devote itself to the formation of local commissions or committees in the principal cities of the country, "in acting as a clearing house of information as to methods and in stimulating local activities." It is properly considered that community interest and cooperation are of the first importance. The gathering of facts and publicity built upon them will go far to correct many of the abuses which now disgrace the Nation in its criminal propensities and tendencies. The Afro-American people have everything to hope for in the work of the National Crime Commission, as protection of life and property is what they need most. An Achievement Toward Good-Will The colored citizens of the country and of Virginia particularly are deeply appreciative of the fine spirit of cooperation shown by the white people of Richmond, led by the Times-Dispatch and the News Leader in assisting in making the colored Elks Convention the most successful in the history of the organization. The manner in which the news of the convention was handled by the daily papers marks the most advanced step in the progress of better relations between Negro achievements and the Southern Press, a fact which has been evidencing itself for some time. The Times-Dispatch, the News Leader and the white citizens of Richmond did much to advance race amity in this country during the convention. Commenting on the successful accommodation and entertainment of the more than 80,000 visitors the Times-Dispatch paid a splendid tribute to Mr. M. A. Norrell, who was chairman of the local committee when it said: "M. A. Norrell, who has literally a genius for organization and who had every detail at the tips of his fingers, and his assistants and subchairmen arranged affairs so definitely and clearly as to put to shame all previous arrangements for any convention ever held in Richmond by white or colored people. So able is Norrell, indeed, that the Timas-Dispatch has no hesitation in asserting that he is mentally and temperamentally equipped to carry thru any sort of work that may be intrusted to him. It is, therefore, clear to those who have followed the proceedings of the convention, both before and after its assemblage, that its shining success has been due chiefly to the extraordinary ability of M. A.' Norrell and his associates." It might be said for the benefit of the Times-Dispatch and other open minded citizens of the white race that M. A. Norrell represents a type of leadership, ability and competency which the Negro race now possesses in quantities and which is diverting itself in avenues tending toward a grand contribution to the wealth and weal of this country, if but given the opportunity. The Richmond newspaper is to be thanked for its apparent recognition of this fact by its splendid comment on Mr. Norrell, and here is hoping that it will take the lead in pointing to worthwhile achievements of the colored people, as well as recognizing that among Negroes there is ability comparing favorably with that of any people on earth, and standing up for recognition of this ability where it is merited. Is Liberia a Land of Promise? The readers of the NORPOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE are very much interested in the Republic of Liberia, on the West Coast of Africa, because it was set aside in 1816 for "free persons of color" in the United States and the West Indies, we believe, who desired to have a homeland of their own, free from the conditions which enslaved them here. The Colonization Society, with headquarters at Washington, which is still in existence, had the interests of the country in their charge until it became self-governong. But Liberia never was a success; that is to say, it never drew any considerable number of "free persons of color" and those it did draw, for the most part, did not prosper as the founders expected, but stagnated. Without substantial increase of American emigration and without much inter-marrying with the natives, the original settlers gradually grew weaker and weaker, until today the real citizenship of the country is negligible, poor in numbers and in spirit and in accumulated wealth, although the country is rich beyond compare in resources of all kinds. Why has Liberia come to standstill in its development and possibilities? Simply because the Afro-American has never taken to the idea of returning to Africa, and because those who did go to the country were not pioneers in the sense that they knew how to build a State and control and develop the invaluable economic values, and because until recently they have had no good and working understanding with the Natives, without inter-marriage with whom, it is said, Afro-Americans die out in the third and fourth generation. The Hon. Edwyn Barclay, who stands high in the official life of Liberia, is in the United States, it is said, in an unofficial capacity, but it has cropped out that he has come to clinch the concession of rubber and other land rights to the Firestone Company, and has spent much time at Dayton in doing so. It is understood that the Firestone Company has received a concession of a million acres of land, and will gather a crop of rubber from 1,500 acres this year. It is also understood that the Firestone Company will control and regulate the revenues of Liberia, through a fiscal commission, the financial accommodation upon which so remarkable an alienation of sovereignty is to be based not being stated. The United States has imposed a like condition upon Haiti and we know that it has effectually worked the destruction of the independence of Haiti as a country, and we are sure it, will work the same way for Liberia. But that is their business, which we regret to see that they are messing up. Mr. Barclay says: "The Firestone Rubber Company has a concession of one million acres and can have as much more land as it desires," he replied. "Rubber is thriving well in Liberia and there will be a good crop this season. Fifteen hundred acres, planted by the Firestone concern as an experiment, have turned out a success, and 20,000 acres are now under cultivation. "Labor is very cheap in Liberia and strong, healthy men work for 25 cents a day. The language of Liberia is English. It is a country for young men, and any of the colored people who wish to go there from America to live will be heartily welcomed and given grants of land to cultivate." NEGRO HISTORY IN SCHOOL CURRICULUM By DR. CHARLES H. WELSEY Editor's Note: "Negro History in the School Curriculum" is a monograph which covers the substance of an address delivered before the Teachers' Institute of the 10th-13th Division and Allied High and Normal Schools of Washington, D. C., January 30, 1925 by Dr. Charles H. Wesley of the Department of History of Land is also very cheap in Liberia, but it must be higher than labor, when "strong, healthy men work for 25 cents a day." The same grade of men get in some instances a dollar an hour for their work in and about Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News. And how can a man be "strong and healthy" on 25 cents a day in Liberia or Norfolk. It is impossible. We do not think with Mr. Barclay that "it is a country for young men," as the young men who have gone there and who are now do not appear to have done as well in all ways as the young men have done who have remained in the United States and are having wonderful growth in all of the thought and effort of the Great Republic. We could do better but we are doing very well in this country, better than any of the race are doing in any other country, in Africa or out of Africa. We commend this view of the question to Messrs. John Powell and Earnest Sevier Cox, who are wasting much time on our business and neglecting their own business while so doing. Prof. Newbold Favors Negro History. for Nerro Schools The JOURNAL AND GUIDE considers it of paramount importance and significance that Prof. N. C. Newbold, Director of Division of Negro Education, under the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of North Carolina, should write us a letter approving of the suggestion that sufficient history of the Negro Race in the United States, suitable for use in the public schools and schools of higher education, should be written and used. We stress this matter because, with the superintendent of education, Prof. Newbold has placed North Carolina in the forefront of the Southern States in the vital matter of the education of the children of all of the citizens of the State. Their efforts have been so broad and generous as to eliminate from their program the question of race in the distribution of school funds and the proper direction of the workings of the school system. The following is the letter by Prof. Newbold: Raleigh, August 25, 1925. Editor Norfolk Journal and Guide, Sir:—Some one was good enough to send me a copy of your paper of August 22nd. I have read with very great interest the editorial on Negro History in the School Curriculum. It seems to me what you have outlined ought to be done in some definite, straightforward way. If some far-seeing Negro historian who has both broad knowledge and broad sympathy can be secured to write a history giving facts I feel quite sure such a book would find its place in the Negro schools, especially do I think that is true in this State. I would certainly be glad to give assistance in the matter of seeing that it has a hearing by the people in authority by whom it would be adopted for use in the Negro public schools. I am quite sure you know and understand some of the arguments that might be raised by white people against; the use of the book on Negro history which in any way set out to make trouble between the races. You are right in your position that Negro history has not been written because the Negroes themselves have not done it,—not that white people are disposed to oppose the preparation of a good Negro history, but as you have stated, the white people have their hands full looking after their own history. Director Division Negro Education It is great gain to have it understood that Prof. Newbold would use his good offices to have the proper kind of history of the Negro Race introduced into the Negro schools of North Carolina. That is of the first consideration. We dare say the superintendent of education of Virginia would be equally as willing to introduce such a history into the public schools of this State. Starting with the approval of these two notable States of the South, it should be easy to secure the sympathy and cooperation of the public school system of the other Southern States. It should be easy to write such a history as would be acceptable. We have plenty of persons capable of writing it. The materials upon which to write it are abundant but scattered. We know of no one more capable for this work than Prof. Charles H. Wesley, head of department of history of Howard University. But there are others. NEGRO HISTORY IN SCHOOL CURRICULUM Dr. BR. CHARLES H. WELSEY Editor's Note: "N y e r o History, in the School Curriculum" is a monograph which covers the substance of an address delivered before the Teachers' Institute of the 10th-13th Division and Allied High and Normal Schools of Washington, D. C., January 30, 1925 by Dr. Charles H. Wesley of the Department of History of H o w a r d University. The speech or the monograph is regarded by leading educators as a very able treatise of a subject, which of late, has increasingly engaged the attention of pedagogists, and invited the interest of students With this issue the JOURNAL AND GUIDE begins a serial publication of the monograph,-which is brief, and invites the attention of its readers to what it feels is a very informative discussion. During my experience as a teacher of history at Howard University, and as a student of history at several of America's largest institutions, I have had many opportunities to secure at first hand, information concerning the knowledge many students have had of the history of special periods and nationalities. From the very first, it has been amazing to me that there should be such an immense amount of ignorance of the facts of history as they relate to the Negro group, and such a hero-worship of the facts as they relate to other groups who live in America. But the main reason for this group is very evident. It is not the fault of the student, for his interest in nearly every case has been easily aroused in pursuit of these unknown facts. The faults may be quickly located. They may be found in the text-books and in the school curricula. I have examined about twenty-five text-books in the field of American History—it could not be expected that between Negro History and European History, for the Negro in Medieval and Modern times has been almost a negligible factor in the history of Europe—but among the American History texts there were only two of which made any other mention of Negroes than as a group of slaves and pauper Negroes of merit are mentioned in none. Coming up under such a system, it is very apparent that Negroes cannot be expected to know anything of their past. It is a sad experience in a child's life, which brings to it the realization for the first time that there is a political, a social and an economic difference between himself and his white playmate around the corner. It is more unfortunate that this child must soon realize that his badge of color in America is a sign of subjugation, inferiority and contempt. Some of us may recall such experiences in our own lives or of those near us. My little girl came to me at one time with her hands very soiled after her play. I told her to go immediately and wash her hands. After they were washed, she returned proudly and said, "Gee, Daddy, I'm white." I replied, "No, girlie, you are not." Her answer in a very hopeful tone was, "Well, I'm nearly white"; and again I replied, "No, you are not. You are a Colored American." This experience is only typical of incidents which are occurring every day in Negro life in America. We may attempt to withhold the information as to color differences, but as long as the child lives in America, sooner or later the rude shock must come of the racial difference between it and the child of fair face through the tradition of the street comes to realize its superiority over the child of darker face. In this way, the traditions of racial differences are perpetuated. It is the statement of a well-known fact that if racial relations are to be improved, we must start with the new generation. One shock after another comes to the rising generation until the iron of bitter disappointment is burn deep into their souls. To the one of color there comes the inevitable feeling of inferiority and the discouraging expectation that the race to which he belongs cannot and has not attained racial distinction. To the other, there comes the feeling of superiority and the expectation that because of the position of the group to which he belongs, he must claim the seat of authority over his darker brother. Saturday, September 5, 1925 Shall we allow these vicious impressions to find their way into the inner fiber of our American youth, or by a conscious effort of teaching shall we seek to remove them by substituting for personal, parental and racial traditions the more positive foundation of historical facts? Only a study of history in all of its phases and of all of its people can meet successfully the bitter experiences which are driven into the inner selves of American children by these first childhood experiences in racial contacts. The correct information may be obtained, as some of us have obtained it, in our homes, at mother's and father's knee, where we learned the wonderful stories of times past. But the task of the home has been rapidly taken over by the school, because it can be carried on more efficiently. Once the education of the human race was carried on in the home, and the great body of social tradition was transmitted by way of the parent and the elders. In the process of evolution, the school has taken over this function, for there the body of organized knowledge is supposed to reside either in books or in teachers. History is no longer the story of ancestral greatness or tribal glory or national aggrandizement. It deals with the entire past of humanity, with all men in all times and in all places. It is the development of man in his activities as a social being. The Curriculum so far as history is concerned should embrace then the study of the contributions of all peoples. In the interest of a better American nation, this is particularly true of those who have contributed to American History. It has been a recognized fact among American historians that American History should not be studied without a correlation of it with the history of the old world. This has been regarded so necessary that in the production of the important set of histories in the cooperative series known as The American Background of American History." This connection with Europe in study is explained as necessary because "the American youth must take into account the origins and contributions of the nations from which our civilizations have been derived. The story of the transfer and the evolution of the contributions to civilization by the peoples of England, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain and Holland are passed in review. Is it probable that there is one group whose origins and whose contributions have been neglected by the historians of America's past? Is it true that in the chronicle of the American people there is a neglect of one section of this people? These questions must be answered in the affirmative. Negro origins and Negro contributions to America are unknown because of the text-book treatment, which is written as a rule to support a particular race bias, and also because there are teachers who do not know these facts, who do not care to know them and who are indifferent as to their diffusion. It is my special purpose in the treatment which follows to pursue the scholarly attitude, to search for truth, to create interest in this field, to acquaint students not only with the facts which are common knowledge but also the truth from this neglected field, with the hope that the teachers who read this may be inspired to equip themselves to become the lantern bearers of the truth of history to all young America. It is hoped that the teachers of the schools of all groups may follow the treatment of this subject. Facts speak for themselves. They may prove disappointing to personal opinions, but the serious searcher for truth will expect to have his choicest opinions controverted by the discovery of new facts. I want to ask you to think with me briefly concerning, first, the study of the Negro in Africa; second, the study of the Negro in America, and third, the advantages, which are to be derived from this study. In so brief a treatise, if I shall not succeed in giving to you any new information or any really new thoughts, as I briefly survey this field, I shall be satisfied if I can convey to you a point of view—the teacher's point of view in the teaching of Negro history so as to secure the greatest value to all piliis. The work of interracial committees and good-will attitudes can be immensely advanced by a different point of view on the part of the teachers of social subjects. Next week: The Negro In Af- THE WOONERS OF AFRICAN PEOPLES "The wonder of the black races," says Hecren, "is in the immensity of their temples and monuments. Surrounded by great mountains, deep valleys and far stretching deserts; the idea of vastness so entered into their architecture that it has never been equalled." Very true of this is the Temple El Karmac, the greatest ever reared by man. It was built at Thebes in Upper Egypt and even in its ruins one wonders if the people who built it were giants in their day. An avenue more than a mile in length, built by Queen Hathepsut, led to the entrance and lined on each side with guardian sphinxes. The temple itself was 1,200 feet long, 600 feet wide and walls varying from 60 to 125 feet high. The Hall of Pillars, the great wonder of the temple, was 329 feet long and 170 feet wide. It contained nine rows, six in each row, the two central rows being sixty feet high and so large in circumference that six men with arms extended and fingers touching could not encompass one. On the tops of these pillars were carved lotus flowers of granite and weighed fifty tons each. How were these mighty pillars of granite raised and how were these stupendous flowers placed upon their tops? The secret was lost with old Egypt. Many were the wonders which the black races of old reared to glorify their civilization, but the Temple El Karnac will forever stand out as the grandest of them all. FRANKLIN MRS.

Heck Tenders His Resignation as Principal of Franklin Normal and Industrial Institute. The Question of the School's Future Unsettled: Franklin, Va., August 31. The resignation of Rev. R. L. Heek as principal of the Franklin Normal and Industrial Institute was placed in the hands of the secretary of the Board today and is to go in effect September 22nd. The resignation of Principal Heek is due to the inability of the Board to settle question of the Board in time to open school on the usual date, and is further due to pastoral duties which he had before taking the school. The principal sincerely regrets the inconvenience the student body and patrons have suffered thus far by being held in suspense as to the school's future. He wishes to assure all that he did his best to hold the work intact and to relieve the suspense, but there will be a statement made in a few days as to the disposition of the work. Principal Heck wishes to thank the faculty, students, patrons, and the public for the very splendid support given during his administration, which accounts for the accomplishment of a most successful year. The faculty given impressed the true love you had for the great founder, the late Mrs. D. J. Hayden, whose labors we should never forget. Your support showed further your interest in a $15,000 plant purchased by your funds for the private training of the colored youth. The attitude shown by the people in responding to the appeals for financing the institution thoroughly convinced the principal of the school and were willing to support it. The value of Franklin Normal School cannot be estimated by its worth in dollars and cents, but rather in the singular qualities evidenced in the tutorship and rules of the founder. Mrs. Hayden believed in training the child's heart, head and hands. She taught her students to help themselves, believe in themselves and above all to firmly believe in the principles of education. The total receipts for the brief period of Principal Heck is $3,003-62 disbursements $2,880.20; in treasure $123.42.
