Servants Willed $20,000.00 MRS ELIZA JOHNSON Lev Johnson and wife, Mrs. Eliza Johnson Cleveland, Ohio—The devotion that existed between Miss Martha Greene Deshler, who died here recently and her colored servants, Lev Johnson and his wife, Mrs. Eliza Johnson, was most interestingly attested Friday of last week when her will was filed for probate and it was disclosed that she had bequeathed $10,000 each to Johnson and his wife. The will disposes of an estate of $175,000. Each of the servants is 59 years old, but they have declared that they will keep right on working. Soon they will go to Virginia, where they will serve Miss Annie Hamilton, who is to move there. Miss Hamilton is Miss Deshler's niece. And the $20,000 was not willing to Johnson, who was Miss Deshler's butler, and his wife, who was her cook, for long services, because the two went into their benefactor's employ in 1918, just seven years ago, when they arrived in this city from Versailles, Ky., where they had been working. Even the knowledge that they are $20,000 vicher has not seemed to soften the servants' grief over the loss of their employer. "If Miss Deshler were here now I'd throw the money away," said Mrs. Johnson. "She's worth more than any money." Police Watch the Vice Situation In Uptown Section Necessity of Citizens Cooperating If Crusade Is To Be Effective Is Emphasized. The Journal and Guide was this week informed from the office of Col. C. B. Borland, Director of Public Safety, that the police had been advised of the vice situation complained of by uptown colored citizens and instructed to give the matter especial attention. Reporters for this newspaper had not been able to obtain definite information of what developments, if any, have taken place during the week regarding the matter in so far as police activities are concerned. It is believed, however, that the vice squad and patrolmen on the uptown beats are carefully watching known prostitutes and will put any of them under arrest as soon as the overt act is committed. This belief is based on the frequency with which platoons of officers and detectives were seen in the vicinity of the vice area Satur day. Emphasis is placed, however, on the importance of the citizens cooperating with the police if the vice crucusade is to be effective. The police may make arrests, but prosecution is necessary to obtain convictions. Inasmuch, as the courts have held on several occasions that no law is violated by women who simply walk the streets, regardless of what might be their purposes, solicitation often cannot be proved against them unless the person solicited, will testify to that effect. THE GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI DENOUNCES MOB Says Officers Should Take Extreme Measures to Protect Prisoners in Their Charges. Offers Use of State Militia. SAYS HE WILL UPHOLD THE LAW OF STATE Jackson, Miss, Sept. 30. "The time has come when the law-abiding Christian people of Mississippi should assert themselves in no uncertain terms against such mob action and should rally to the support of the peace officers in maintaining the integrity of the law," said Governor Henry Whitfield of Mississippi in a statement issued the day following the lynching of J. P. Ivy at New Albany. Officers charged with the responsibility of protecting criminals should resort to extreme measures in thwarting a mob, continued the Governor. "Had the Governor received notice of the crime he would have given ample support to the sheriff in the prevention of so horrible a crime against the law. I want every peace officer in the State of Mississippi to know that as long as I am Chief Executive of the State every possible help will be extended to them in the enforcement of the law. I shall not hesitate to send out the militia to vindicate the laws of the State and see that these laws are executed. I hope the court officers will not hesitate to perform their duties in the case under discussion, as well as in like cases that have occurred or may occur in the State." Under Mississippi law the Gov. error is powerless to interfere in a local situation unless State aid is asked for by the county authorities, nor has he any power to inflict penalties on county officers who fail in their duty. "Not Yet Emerged From Barbarism," says Ga. Paper Mucon, Ga., Sept. 30—The Macon Telegraph, leading daily paper of this city, commenting officially on recent lynchings, says: "We have not yet emerged from the age of barbarism. Unless there comes out of these crimes and all other crimes in which men take the laws under which we live into (Continued on Page Three) Richmond Citizens Interested In The Tax Referendum Richmond, Va.—Colored citizens of this city are manifesting considerable interest over the petition calling for a referendum on a 2-cent tax to be used for recreational purposes. These citizens are much of the opinion that if the referendum is adopted by a favorable vote of the people their hopes for the establishment of the long-promised park for colored people and a swimming pool will be nearer to realization. The proposed 2-cent tax, it is claimed, would provide about $40,000 annually for recreation. The Community Recreation Association is promoting the petition. Toe Crushed By Heavy Auto Truck Mrs. Neely Jordan, 956 Bynum street, an elderly woman met with a painful accident Wednesday afternoon at the corner of Church street and Olney road, when a National Oil Company truck passed over her left foot crushing her toe. The truck which was driven by W. S. Shavers, of Virginia Beach, made a right-hand turn out of Church street into Olney road, and one of its rear wheels passed over Mrs. Jordan's foot. She was treated at St. Vincent's Hospital. Tries To Save His Policy, Face Burned Goldsboro, N. C. - Efforts to save an insurance policy cost Ekie Bridgeford, a 40-year old resident of this place, serious burns about the neck and face, when he rushed back into his burning home to get the instrument Wednesday morning. Bridgeford, it is stated had escaped from the burning structure, but rushed back into; the smoke filled building when the thought of an insurance policy that was about to be burned with his home. He was overcome by the smoke and had to be dragged from the building by his son-in-law. At the hospital where he was taken for treatment, physiicians stated it was believed that Bridgeford swallowed some of the flames. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1925 EDITORIAL We Are Supporting the Council of Social Agencies EDITORIAL We Are Supporting the Council of Social Agencies SOCIAL AGENCIES WHITE SECRETARIES SUBMIT BUDGETS TO OF Y.M.C.A. FROWN COMMUNITY FUND ON SEGREGATION The JOURNAL AND GUIDE sent the following letter several days ago to the five members of the Council of Social Welfare Agencies that had not already submitted for publication a statement concerning their work: "The JOURNAL AND GUIDE will be very glad to receive and publish a brief resume of your past year's work, and your program for the next fiscal year if submitted sometime prior to the approaching Community Chest Fund Campaign. "Our idea is to obtain from you a statement that will assist in giving some impetus to campaign contributions." The Community Center chairman made public his copy of the request at a meeting of the budget committee of the Chest Fund board on last Tuesday afternoon. Since that time the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has received numerous inquiries from persons who want to know if this paper has changed its attitude toward the Community Center as a Social Welfare agency, some of said inquiries coming from members of the Council of Social Agencies SOCIAL AGENCIES SUBMIT BUDGETS TO COMMUNITY FUND Total Approximates $15,000 Required For Organizations Devoted To Social Service Among Colored People. The budget for the colored social agencies was presented to the budget committee of the Community Center Fund Tuesday last. It calls for approximately $15,000. Unlike the budget for colored work of former years, this year the figures presented to the Community Fund officials were systematically arrived at, being prepared by the budget committee of the Council of Social Agencies, an organization which came into existence during the past summer at the suggestion of Mr. Hall, executive secretary of Community Fund, expressly for the purpose of determining the requirements of each social agency, and for the preparing of a budget that would intelligently coordinate these requirements. The Council of Social Agencies is composed of representatives of the various organizations doing social service and prominent citizens. The following recommendations were made by the Council's budget committee; Phyllis Wheatley Branch, Y. W. C. A., $2,017.50; Traveler's Aid, $1,370; Boys' Club, $1,785; Maternity Home, $1,676; United Charities, $4,500; Community Center, Princess Anne路, $1,500; Community Center, Lambert's Point, $500; LeKies Old Fols Home, $100; The committee making these recommendations consisted of C. A. Palmer, chairman; C. C. Dogan, Miss Constance Fuller, Rev. F. W. Jacobs and C. G. Owings. African King To See Race Centers of United States King Nana Amoah III, of the Gold Coast of Africa, arrived in New York September 24, on the Cunard liner Acquitania for a visit, chronicleled press dispatches this week. King Amoah who is ruler of 30,000 to 40,000 people, intends to visit American cities which have large Negro populations, where he will study the accomplishments of his race. From his observations here, he hopes to take back valuable suggestions to his people. King Amoah is 49 years old. He is a Protestant Christian and was educated in the first Christian College established on the Gold Coast of Africa. He reported that Christianity is spreading in the Gold Coast and causing the rapid disappearance for polygamy. and from members of its budget committee. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has not changed its convictions regarding the utility of the Community Center. But the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is supporting the Council of Social Agencies. The Community Center was accepted by the Council of Social Agencies as a charter member, over the protest of the editor of this paper, made in person at the organization meeting. The budget committee of the Council of Social Agencies subsequently recommended an appropriation of $1,500 for the Community Center, and it was after this recommendation had been made that the JOURNAL AND GUIDE asked the Community Center for a statement of its program. That the chairman of Community Center made capital of our request at the meeting of the budget committee, and in conversation with friends, is a circumstance which any person similarly situated might have used. We are supporting the whole program of the Council of Social Agencies. Decline To Take Accommodations on Boardwalk At Atlantic City As Colored Staff Is Discriminated Against. (Special to Journal and Guide) Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 25—Eight white secretaries of The Student Department of the National Y. M. C. A, refused today to take accommodations in a white hotel on the Boardwalk because the colored staff of the National Council was refused accommodations and went with the colored secretaries to the Ridley House, a colored hotel, state reports from the resort city. Among the white secretaries now staying at the Ridley Hotel are two Southern men. They are as strongly opposed to the segregation practices of the white hotels as the men from the East and West. The action of this group probably dooms Atlantic City as a future meeting place of "Y" men, since the National leaders of the organization are determined that they will not hold national meetings in places that draw the color line. Court Denies Use of Name, 'Odd Fellows Court Denies Use of Name, 'Odd Fellows Supreme Tribunal of Georgia Declares "Incorporated" Does Not Warrant Right to Use of Name. Press reports from Georgia stated this week that the Supreme Court of that State has just handled a decision declaring that District Grand Lodge No. 18 Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, jurisdiction of Georgia, is not entitled to the use of this name by adding "incorporated." The court held, it was stated, that a fraternal order by adopting the same name previously used by a fraternal association acquires no additional right to the use of the name by incorporation. This decision was rendered in reversal of that of Judge George L. Bell, and was handed down in the case of Graves et al., vs District Grand Lodge No. 18, from Fulton county. Plaintiff contended the organization was not entitled to the use of the name because there already was in existence an organization known as the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Americas. It was previously ruled by Judge Bell that the name could be used, provided the suffix "incorporated" was added. The Supreme Court held that this decision was in error and the lower court was reversed. SENATOR STARTS INQUIRY IN RAID ON PREACHER'S HOME SENATOR STARTS INQUIRY IN RAID ON PREACHER'S HOME George Wharton Pepper Of Pa.; Wants Circumstances Surrounding Search of Private Residence Investigated ALLEGES SEARCH WAS WITHOUT WARRANT Reports from Washington state that United States Senator George W. Pepper, of Pennsylvania, this week caused to be started an investigation into the circumstances surrounding police entry Monday night of the home of Rev. William Underwood of 5 E. Street, Southwest. Mr. Underwood charges that the police without reason and without warrant searched his home from top to bottom for one John Williams, charged with the possession of whiskey. The Rev. Mr. Williams, who is a messenger in Senator Pepper's office, has served three other Pennsylvania Senators in the same capacity, including the late Senator Boise Penrose. Captain Guy S. Burlingame, who led the raid into the minister's home, denies the search was made without warrant. Mr. Underwood charges that the police abruptly entered his home, and when asked for warrant, flashed badges, saying that they did not need a warrant. Mr. Underwood denied that he is even acquainted with Williams. GUILTY OF ASSAULT UPON YOUNG GIRI GUILTY OF ASSAULT UPON YOUNG GIRI Youth Confesses To Crime And Court Reserves Judgment In the Case. Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 2—Wallace Powell, 18-year-old white youth was found guilty of an assault on Miss Moselle Jones, aged 14 years. Tuesday in the Wake County Superior Court on a directed verdict of Judge Garland E. Midyette, who declared that Powell was guilty on his own statement. The Court reserved judgment in the case. A large crowd of members of both races crowded in the courtroom and several well known white men testified as to the good character of the Powell boy and asked the Court to give him another chance. The case came up in the Superior Court on the appeal from the City Court where Powell was sentenced to six months on the roads by Judge W. C. Harris. Court Asks What Punishmen Should Be Given Judge Midytette asked attorneys for the State what punishment the Powell boy should be given. F. T. Bennett said that he thought the boy should be given a suspended sentence and fined, while Attorney R. N. Simms, counsel for the Private prosecution, did not agree with the Bennett recommendation. Simms declared that he thought the good Negroes of the State should be protected and that every step should be taken to see that their rights were observed. He said that he would be more inclined to recommend clemency if the Powell boy had not appealed from the City Court sentence after he had entered a plea of nolo contendre. Powell Admitted He Attacked Girl In court Powell admitted he attacked the girl one Sunday night when he was alone with her in the home of his brother-in-law, P. Gehrart, the family was at church. He said that the girl fought him like a tiger and finally broke away from him and ran from the house. It was also brought out that the girl suffered several scratches about her arms and body during the suffice with Powell. Make Strong Plea For Clemency Strong ploas for elemency were made by Gearhart, and by Rev. Sylvester Betts, the white Baptist minister, who said that the boy's father, while thinking of the case had opened a hymn book at the hymn: "God Will Take Care of You." Judge Midyette suggested that the Lord took care of those who took care of themselves. DESTROY U. S. BRUSHES London-Holborn Council ordered the destruction of 6,279 American shaving brushes owing to the death of a Holborn citizen from anthrax. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Secretary Colored Work Y. M. C. A. J. B. MADAM WALKER OFFERS FOUR TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD 30,000 Mile Cruise Through The Scenes of the World. Occident and Orient, Will be Won By Race Members. From Madam A'Leilia Walker, president and owner of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, comes the announcement this week of four free trips around the world to members of her race. It will be recalled that last year Madam Walker gave a number of free trips to the Holy Land, which were won by prominent ministers of the race. National interest was drawn to the contest in which these wonderful trips were won. The cruises around the world will constitute even greater prizes than were the trips to the Holy Land, and undoubtedly interest in these trips will be country-wide. The four persons to get these around the world trips will be selected by the votes of their friends. The contest is so arranged that the selecting of these world ambassadors must be absolutely impartial. At present, approximately 500 candidates for the trips have enrolled. It will be up to their friends to cleet them. The Madam Walker around the world trips will require four months and will cover 30,000 miles. Among the scenes of historic grandeur that will be visited are the Great Statue of Buddha, Black Hole of Calcutta, Tower of Victory, Mount Vesuvius, Temple of Confucius, Jain Temple, Sphinx, Pyramids, Panama Canal, etc. Before these travelers, guests of Madam Walker, will be revealed the colored pageant of the world, Occident and Orient allike. Detailed information of how the trips may be won will be found in announcement on page 3. INSURANCE CONCERN ENTERS MORE STATES INSURANCE CONCERN ENTERS MORE STATES Newark, N. J., The Northwestern Life Insurance Company of this city has perfected arrangements for extending its operation to Delaware and the District of Columbia, according to announcement made following the last regular monthly meeting of the board of directors. It was also announced that arrangements have been made whereby the company can issue policies in larger amounts than ever before. Through its actuaries, a prominent New York firm, representing some of the largest companies in the country, a reinsurance treaty has been effected whereby the Northwestern can reinsure all the risk it does not desire to keep for itself. This, it is said, follows the practice of large white companies who have been able to build a tremendous business because they can write all the insurance a person wants, t he n distribute the risk among a number of companies. - The Northwestern will write policies as high as $15,000 on a single life in the future. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers COLORED WORK OF Y.M.C.A.TO EXTEND TO NEW FIELDS COLORED WORK OF Y.M.C.A.TO EXTEND TO NEW FIELDS Agricultural And Transportation Areas Will Be Discussed At 21st National Conference Oct.21 to 23. MEMBERSHIP INCREASED BY OVER 4,000 LAST YEAR New York, Sept. 30—In keeping with the rapid increase in colored population throughout the United States, and the advance made by Negroes in business and industry, the problem of expansion into fields heretofore untouched by the Young Men's Christian Association, is uppermost, at this time, in the minds of its 32,000 colored members. Officials of the Colored Work Department of the National Council here declare that "the response of the colored people to the program of the Y. M. C. A. and the tremendous need for such service encourages the leadership to plan for unprecedented campaigns of expansion." New Fields of Operation In two fields notably the Negro association finds its greatest opportunity for development in the interest of character-building among men and boys. These fields are the small towns and rural areas of the South and the huge metropolitan areas of the North, where congestion is constantly on the increase. The single Y. M. C. A. in Harlem in New York City, which is the most concentrated Negro area in the United States, if not in the world, for example, finds its facilities taxed to the utmost to care for the needs of the 200,000 residents of the district. A similar problem confronts the Chicago association, while in St. Louis plans are already under way for the construction of a second building. Secretary Tobias' Statement "The Y. M. C. A., next to the Church and the school," said Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of Colored Work of the National Council, "is making the largest contribution to the character development of the colored man and boy in America. Our membership has increased more than 4,000 since last year, two new buildings at a joint cost of nearly $600,000 have been added to our equipment, and more than two million of men and boys have been served through our activities, but we feel that we have hardly scratched the surface of our possibilities when we think of the hundreds of thousands of colored men and boys in the rural districts, in transportation service and other industries, to whom the helpful services of the Y. M. C. A. might be extended." Comparison between the figures of the Negro Year Book and the Y. M. C. A. Year Book for 1925-26 shows that while there were 566,860 Negroes in industry in 1920, there are today only eight Negro industrial associations serving about two-score plants and 6136 members. Even greater opportunities for expansion exist in the fields of transportation and agriculture. In agriculture, which engaged the attention of 2,178,888 Negroes in 1920, there are two associations conducting community service, both operating without building facilities. One of these is in Mercer County, New Jersey, the other a department for boys on Long Island. Railroad Work One Railroad Y. M. C. A. for colored men is maintained, and that at Bluefield, W. Va., although in numerous cities accommodations are provided by the Association for Pullman porters. The Negro Year Book shows that in 1920 more than 6,500 Negroes were serving as locomotive firemen and 111, as locomotive engineers. The question of expansion is expected to occupy a leading position in discussions of the Twenty-first National Conference on Colored Work to be held Oct. 21 to 23 at Washington, D. C., where the first colored Y. M. C. A. was established seventy-two years ago. Prominent conference will be Dr. John R. Mott, General Secretary of the National Council and the International Committee of the American Y. M. C. A.; S. Wirt Wiley, Associate General Secretary; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College at Atlanta, Ga., colored member of the General Board and generally regarded as one of the leading Negro educators in the United States, and Dr. R. K. Moton, chairman of the Colored Department Committee of the National Council, and the successor of Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute. A Free Trip Around the World OCTOBER 3, 1925 Delicatessen ens On Church St. Amitha's delicatessen at 728 street, which opened for Saturday night of lust enjoys the distinction of the only business of its kind city conducted by and for a percentage of colored people.

The Norfolk Athletic Club made a fine showing for the first game of the season. The game was cleanly played. No wringles in evidence and few penalties imposed. It is very hard to name individual stars on the local team. It seems that everybody mounted to his best form and ran all over the gridiron. Everyone played exceptionally well, with the following the outstanding performers, Eugene Robinson, Moorman, Gordan, Wright, Collins and Nixon. Others played a very commendable game.

MORGAN SECURES COACHING STAFF Baltimore, Md., Sept. 27—For the first time in its history, Morgan College has secured the services of a coaching staff. Dr. J. H. Hilburn and C. E. Jackson, one time star player and captain of the Union University football team, and former member of Virginia Collegiate squad will be associated with Coach "Jim" Law in producing Morgan's grid warriors this season. This trio is expected to offer Morgan's coaching regime of no small quality, and it is expected that they will produce one of the best elevenes seen at Morgan yet. The schedule, has not yet been completed but was discussed at the Athletic Committee last week, and will be released in the near future. Morgan Gridders get down to stiff training on the 15th for its first game with Howard on Oct. 3. Howard is in for a bit of fuss if the mentors' plans work out.

TO HAVE HEFTY FOE IN Y. M. C. A. TEAM BY WILEY A. J. Johnson, JR. Norfolk Athletic Club will have a tough foe in Monday, October 12, when the W. M. C. A. team of Newport News journeys to Norfolk to wipe out the defeat suffered at the hand of the locals last year. It has been rumored that the Merrimac squad of Hampton, a very strong aggregation has merged with the "Y" team. If this is true, Norfolk will not have such an easy going. The "Y" team was very weak last year, in fact it has not been up to its old form in quite a while, but the addition-of the Hampton team will make the eleven this year, a very formidable opponent, for any teams. This game will start the Norfolk Athletic Club on its heavy campaign for the remainder of the season. Each game following the one on October 12, will be with teams of mcrit. With this in mind Dr. Coppage will carry his charges through some hard grinds to meet these heavy issues. Much improvement is already noticed since Dr. Coppage has been directing the destinies of the local eleven. The squad is determined to go through the season without a single defeat, and this means that in every game, some very hard playing will be in evidence. WILBERFORCE SQUAD BEGINS GRID WORKOUTS (By Preston News Service) Wilberforce, O., Sept. 27—With the first football game to be played October 3, football practice was begun September 7, with Coach Harry C. Graves at the helm. In August, Coach Graves issued a call for 44 men to begin practices September 7, and all but a few have responded to the call. It is expected that the remaining quota will be on hand registration day, together with a number of new players. This is the second year for Coach Graves as the Bulldog mentor and he will have with him the same men as last year. With a better understanding of the Michigan system a greater year of football for Wilberforce is in the dawning. Coach Graves has something up his sleeve this year to give the football public and also to all opponents for he took a Summer course in theory and practice of football at Ohio State University, under the famous football mentor, Dr. Wilce. Wilberforce football fans are boasting this season that if it beaten by any other team that team will know it was in a game, and the Wilberforce slogan is "Best Howard, Lincoln and West Virginia." With the boys carrying out the command of Coach Graves "—Fight hard and play fair," it is felt the slogan will be reality. Big Enrollment Expected By the way applications have flooded the registrar's office, it looks as if Wilberforce will have an increase in enrollment of some five or six hundred students, a mong whom are a number of athletes from various white high schools of football repute—in addition to transfer students of other Negro colleges, and universities, according to announcement from the Registrar's Office. With the schedule Wilberforce is to undergo this year, facts will tell where she stands in the football world as to South, East and West. Atlanta University will play Howard this year. Tuskegee will play Atlanta. Morris Brown will play Morehouse, Talladega and Atlanta, West Virginia will play Howard and Lincoln, etc. Wilberforce plays Morris Brown, Howard Lincoln and West Virginia, Should NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE BOOKERS DROP FIRST GAME TO THE ROYALS By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The Fighting Bookers dropped their first gridion combat of the season to the Royal A. C. by a score of 7-6. The Bookers sent a better squad on the field than was anticipated by many. It was believed that the team would be badly crippled by the loss of a number of letter men, but Thursday's game proved the local high school has the prospects of having a team equal to that of last season. A costly fumble in the first period far in her territory caused Booker Washington to drop her first game. In fact it was more of a wild pass than a fumble. When the ball want wild, there were plenty Royals to pounce on it like a hawk on a chicken. The fumble was within easy scoring distance for the Royals it went over for the first score. West dropped for 4 was within easy scoring distance for the Royals and the oval soon went over for the first score. West droppick ed 1 for extra point. From this stage of the melee, the Bookers launched an uphill fight to even matters or win the game. The school team would not be denied a tally and the Royals were unable to stop the heavy offensive attack. A fumble on the part of the Royals placed Booker Washington in a position to score. Here the Fighting Bookers smelled blood and put extra effort in their attack. The ball was worked to the 2-yard line and Johnson, Big Gun for the high school eleven eased over the final line, but failed to make the extra point to tie the score. The Bookers fought hard to score again, with Johnson, Tynes and Nottingham bearing the brunt of the offensive work, with the first and the last named doing the most effective work. Johnson took the ball many times in a vain attempt to score but was unable to slide ever again. The second half found both teams resorting to a kicking affair with Tolliver for the high school having the advantage in this department of the game. He got off many good punts. The game began to center around the center of the field with both squads putting up stubborn defenses, the Bookers determined to score and the Royals equally determined to check all of the threats. The second half was somewhat slow for a while until Johnson and Nottingham ripped off seven and fourteen yards respectively to add momentum to the affair. The high school eleven began to pin his hopes on an aerial attack to secure the other necessary points to win but this also proved fruitless. A number of the passes were completed but when the squad was placed in a 'scoring position these passes were broken up. The final air attack was short lived. It was brought to a brief close by the ending of the game. The high schools boys played a good game as a whole, Johnson and Nottingham gaining the most yardage. Tynes, Poison, Poole and Tolliver showed up well on the defense. The Royals played on all round good game with Streets and Marshall doing well. West and Lloyd Williams, former Bookers were in the lineup against the old teammates, but were unable to get away with anything. THE LINEUP Bookers—6 Royals—7 Williams L. E. Dallas Faison L. T. Jackson Poole L. G. Boyce Tucker C. Keeling Diggs R. G. Wilson Hart R. T. White Tolliver R. E. Wright Ross L. H. Marshall Nottingh'm R. H. Williams Tynes F. B. West Johnson Q. B. Streets Wilberforce beat. Morris Brown and whether or not Morris Brown beats Atlanta, but should Howard beat Atlanta and Atlanta beats Tuskegee—or if West Virginia beats Howard and Lincoln and Wilberforce beats Howard. Lincoln and West Virginia, as is its slogan, naturally Wilberforce will stand out as National Negro Collegiate Champions and will take its place in the Negro football world this year as Notre Dame did last year among the white schools. Coach Graves with his assistants are centering all efforts to leave no stone unturned to make these "ifs" and "ands" a reality. Haggie Announces Season's Styles W. H.

Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 26—In the series with the Jersey City International League team, that is being used as a polishing up process for them just before the big tilt with the Western team Hildale downed the lads from Conway O'Toole's circuit by the count of 8 to 2. Lefty Rube Zellars who was on the hill for the visitors held no terrors for the Darby Daisies and Ed Bolden's crew laced out 14 safe bingles. Stevens and Judy Johnson had a big day with the willow, each collecting 4 hits. Rube Currie held the All Star cast to 5 hits and only in the third inning when the third inning when the visitors did all their scoring, did they threaten the rubber. The Hildale team practically won the game in the first inning when Zellars gunned up a couple of bunts. Briggs opened for the home club with a single, Stevens bunted and was safe at first, Carr sacrificed both runners. Mackey's sacrifice scoring Briggs and after Judy Johnson had heat out, a hunt, Stevens scored when a Nierberg threw wild to second in an attempt to catch Johnson stealing. The two Jersey City tallies came over in the third inning. Urbanski opened with a triple to deep center. Nielberg singled to center scoring Urbanski. Zellars singled. Jacobs forced Zellars at second and Nielberg scored when Stevens dropped Warfield's toss of Malone's smash. George Johnson hit a home run into the centerfield stands in the fifth inning. MOOREHOUSE UNIV. FOOTBALL DOPE BY JOHN PITTMAN Atlanta, Ga.,—Fall practices started Saturday, the nineteenth. The rookies came out strong, and Coach Harvey is trying hard to put the old pep into the gang; but it seems as if the drought or something has been affecting the boys. They just don't seem to put the fight in it that they should. Anyway, we'll hope for the best. The new locker and shower room has been completed and we don't need to add that they are great. The fellows will find them much more convenient than the old ones in Graves and Robert Hall. Most of the old lunch is coming back. "Heed!" Williams, the big varsity center, was laid up last season in the Benedict game with a badly injured knee, and won't be able to stand much rough stuff this season, but the plucky sub, Sherman, took his place and held it down like a veteran. This year Sherman, took his place and held it down like a veteran. This year Sherman is undoubtedly the best man in view for the position of snapper back. Tondee, one of the famous "Hersemen," had a broken ankles from baseball practice, and won't be able to come out this year. This is a severe loss to the team, because Tondee was an especially valuable man for playing the ends. His end-runs always netted a gain and the team will be considerably HAGGIE Richmond, Va.—Williams Lodge of Elks plans a fast eleven for this season. The old A. S. C. football team who for six years was one of the strongest independent teams in the State will be represented this year by a high class team but with stronger backing and with better support, for they will be known as the Williams Lodge of Elks football team with whom they have recently merged. This team, who boasted of such stars as Charley Ammons, and Marceles Giles and others, defeated repeatedly, Union, Shaw, St. Paul and other strong teams. Plans are going forward to make the coming season a banner year for this great old aggregation, and with infusion of young blood, adding to the team such players as John Robinson, Junius Giles, and Walker Brackett will, according to Coach Samuel Thomas, make the team the same old dangerous foe. The booking manager is fast booking games but he announces that he still has a few good open dates available, for som e good first class teams in or out of the city. For particulars get in touch with Albert Logan, Manager, 705 North 2nd Street, Richmond, Va. handicapped by his present inability. All the rookie 'Horsemen' are back and rarin' to go, Clark, Archer, Rogers and Walker were all on the campus two weeks before school opened getting in form for the season. Star and Allen will show up later and report for the ends, and "Key West" Irving and Cooke are expected to take their old positions in the tackles. It is doubtful as to who will hold down the guards. There are so many big men among the rookies, we can't say as yet who will be selected, but Latimer and Dooley seem to have a fighting chance. Without a doubt, Scott will call out signals again this year, and Dago will certainly keep the old fullback going strong. There is a fellow coming up from Talladega, Parker, who has a record of booting the pigskin for a consistent sixty. He has a fighting chance somewhere in the backfield.

FINAL AUTHORITY THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYS MINISTER Final Authority for the Christian Is Not In The Human Head of Church Nor Scripture Canon, Says Bowling. "Final authority for the Christian is the Holy Spirit of truth." This was the declaration of Rev. Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church last Sunday night. He was speaking on "Where Is Final Authority," the last of a series of sermons dealing with Theology. After pointing out that for various reasons final authority was not in the human head of any church, in the pronouncements of any council, in any Scripture Canon, or even in the recorded words of Jesus, the speaker went on to demonstrate that final authority was in the Holy Spirit. The Inner Urge Using as a text John 16:12-13, Rex. Bowling pointed out, "In practical Christian life we stress the inward urge on conscience and ideals, the guidance of the Spirit as over against mere coincidences and outward manifestations of inner spiritual longings as in dreams, voices, voices, etc. Take for example our practice in church councils looking to the ordination of candidates for the ministry. We listen to his recital of his dream experiences; but unless he has something definite to tell about inward compulsions during his waking hours, we usually advise the brother to give the matter of his cut a little further consideration. It is the same in our examination of candidates for church membership. Every Day Experience Every time we experience we travel in every moral and religious rather by our better feelings than by any mere words of Pope, Council, Scripture, or even Christ. You can get the average Christian to come closer to doing his duty by letting him be led by inner urge of the Spirit than by perfunctory recitation to him of what some external authority has said. It is not the memory of what some says or the sight of what some忘情ing that keeps the average believer doing the wrong. It is rather Him of whom Jesus said, 'He shall guide you into all the truth.' Ancient Examples "It was so understood in the early church. The whole Jerusalem brotherhood gave back when Peter challenged them with how his contrary course in preaching to and eating with and baptising the Gentiles had been Spirit-led. 'Who was I, said he, that I could withstand God?' 'And, the story goes, when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God.'

Manager FIVE THOUSANDEXPECTED IN MAMMOTH SUNDAY'SCHOOL PARADE, SUNDAY, OCT. 4TH Sunday, October 4th, will mark the fourth anniversary parade of Sunday school students and workers of Tidewater. Herefore this event has been demonstrated on Children's Day, because of the weather condition during this season on the year.

The object of this parade is to show the unity of Christian fellowship to constrain those who careless to join the fold of workers in the church, to help raise a standard for Truth and Justice and Brotherly Love, as set forth in the life of Christ. "When sin is at its height and now demonstrated in Norfolk," says Mr. Diggs, "this parade is most befitting and will serve to impress the lawness as to the reality and earnestness of Christians in this section. Mr. Diggs is president of the Sunday School Union. The reviewing stand will be on Chapel street at the Henry Clay School. A number of prominent workers in civic and Religious life of both races have been invited to act as the judge of the Sunday school parade for Sunday October 4, 1925 at 4 p.m. sharp, which will be headed by two motorcycle policemen and executive officers of the Tidewater Sunday School Council will be as listed below.

They would have gone through southern Asia visiting lionhoppers cities of Colossae, Lunedale Ephesus, and Philadelphia, but were forbidden by the Spirit. Then they would have gone northwards into Bithynia, but again the Spirit intervened. "Why do we not put more dependence in this authority today? Why, because a few of the church have become fanatics on Spiritual possession, why do we neglect this priceless gift from the Father, this source of daily certainty and guidance? And let us remember the Spirit is sensitive. His leadership cannot be forced or possessed at will. In a case we must tarry for his manifestation, husband and can keep the affection of his wife only so long as he is uniformly courteous and tender. So we can be sure of the leadership of the Spirit only when we day by day wait upon his bideline."

"My Trip to the Holy Land," was the subject of a most thrilling and instructive lecture delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, eminent pastor of the newly erected Abyssinian Baptist Institutional Church, New York City, Friday night at the Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn. Dr. Powell was introduced by Rev. J. B. Adams, pastor of Concord in terms of high esteem. The speaker in company with Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Olive Baptist Church, New York, made a three-month's tour of Europe and the principal cities of the Holy Land, in 1924. The lecture Friday night dealt almost entirely with scenes at Jerusalem, Jericho, Bethlehem, Bethany, the Mt. of Olives and Gethsemane. Dr. Powell's description purpulsa parasal tup juvaults of ancient days found on his journey was thrilling to a degree almost beyond human conception. The audience, appreciative and intelligent, sat in silence as the speaker told of his visit to the spot where supposed Jessekin lost in the Garden of Olympos, the severe trial and agonize the Fijords of the Jordan and around the Pool of Silom. The lecture was worth many times more to hear and imbibe the rich truths from a person who has actually seen and handled the objects and scenes spoken of than to see many or any motion picture subject such as are shown in our motion picture theatres of the present day. Dr. Powell was in fine speaking form and received hearty applause and commendations from the audience.

YOUNG MEN HEAR LECTURE ON "LIFE" By W. E. GIBSON Addressing a representative we audience of young men under auspices of the David King Bible Class at the First Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, Rev. E. E. Smith, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Portsmouth, asserted that in the making of life, "we must love our fellowman of all races regardless of the color of their skins or the texture of their hair." The minister speaking on the subject, "The Making of Life," continued his speech with the statement that life is very brief, that we live not in years but in deeds. Among the things he enumerated as necessary to a wholesome life were love, fellowship, think peacefully and trust in God, the Bible says, declared in Joy Smith, "as a man thinketh, so is he." And if one thinks of the dark things of life, assimilistic outlook affects his life. True success, said the speaker, is the attainment of right ends by right means inspired by right motives. Love for all men is one of the imperative needs of the hour, continued Rev. Smith, and service and sacrifice in such love always has been productive of real heroes, he explained. Referring to the moral status of womanhood, the minister declared that it will never rise higher than the moral status of the men of the race. In conclusion he admonished his hearses to trust in God profoundly; by so doing, he said, one links himself up with immortality. Mr. G. W. C. Brown presided at the meeting and music was rendered by the male pair of Shiloh Baptist Church. The invocation was made by Rev. B. H. Hester, of Fredericksburg, Mr. John A. Goodwyn, of Potomouth, rendered a violin selection and Mr. Ernest Branch sang a solo. The speaker was introduced by Mr. T. C.

SPECIAL MEETING SPECIAL MEETING There will be a special meeting of the congregation of Grace P. E. Church next Sunday morning after the service. The budget for 1926 will be placed before the members by the Vestry. All the members are expected to be present. GRACE P. E. CHURCH - Last Sunday was "Rally Day" at Grace Church for the Sunday school, and the Sunday school under Mr. Mason, as superintendent, had a special program at both the 11 and 6 o'clock services. Both of these services were very well attended and those in charge of the program were very well pleased at the success of the "Rally". Mr. Mason spoke at the Morning Service on the "Problems of the Sunday School"; Rev. Harris spoke on "The Place of Religious Education in the Life of the Child"; and Miss Margaret Lawrence spoke on the "Relation of the Parent to the Sunday School School". Miss Helen Lawrence spoke on "Christ for the World We Sing". Many of the parents were thoroughly converted to the cause of Religious Education and there were many expressions of determination to see that their children were given every opportunity offered. A good and appreciative audience assembled at the 6 o'clock service at which time it was the purpose of those in charge of the program to give the parents an idea of the work that the Sunday School was doing. Rev. Harris explained the system of lessons being used, "The Christian Nurture Series." The class work of the following classes was demonstrated: Kindergarten, and primary combined by Miss Margaret Lawrence; the grammar nurse by Mrs. P. B. Young, and the junior high class by Mr. W. T. Mason. The demonstration was followed. Tan address by one of the teachers, Miss Musey on the on, "What t h e Sunday School Has Meant to Me."

The boys acquit themselves well in theses programs and have entered each succeeding affair with a greater zeal to make a better showing than on the last appearance. Even this variation of program failed to meet the demands of the boys for a larger program. Through the efforts of the organizers a large field was secured near Memorial Park where the boys could have an opportunity for outdoor play and recreation. It is quite a contrast to note that the colored youths must be contented to use a rough and barren tract of land, and this made possible only through the generosity of a local real estate dealer which means that houses may go up on the field at any time, while directly across the street the white youths are privileged to use a well appointed park kept by the public funds which Negroes help to create but are unable to enjoy. On this improvised playground the boys play baseball, football, hold wrestling matches, boxing bouts, tug-of-war and engage in several of the other outdoor sports. Results Encouraging The results achieved were excellent when one takes into consideration the handicap of inadequate facilities due to the lack of funds for the work. All outdoor work is done under the constant supervision of a particular group director. It includes football, baseball hiking, racing, tug-of-war, culis thenics, gymnastics, archery, birr study, plant study, tennis, camp trips and a kodak club. The indoor activities include debates, essays, orations, storytelling character building lectures and basketball. That the colored citizens of Norfolk entertain sanguine hopes that the Boys' Club will be a permanent part of the life of the community is attested by the strong endorsement given the organization thru letters sent to its officers by prominent local persons. The club has been recorded such prominent endorsement as those below. ry In School Negro History In School Curriculum the average American in regard to the Colored American. Unmolested ignorance in whatever sphere of activity finally results in harm to some one if only the possessor. Education is more than information in Science, the Arts and Languages. It is the study of life in its past and its present, and it should seek to have the pupil adjust himself to his environment and his fellows with a correct knowledge of them. Anything less does not deserve the name of education. (2) Because our sympathies may be broadened. For a lack of this bond today the world is languishing and unrest abounds. It is true that a "touch of nature makes the whole world kin." If those who study and think may realize that Colored Americans have played their part in history as other men have done, the path of the nation will be all the more smooth. The student of history may feel a sense of fellowship with all past generations when it is realized what the past has been. Here, one may see that Colored Americans have been just as efficient as other men, where opportunities have permitted, and that when opportunities were denied they have been just as inefficient. (3) Because a better racial understanding may be obtained. The great need of races and social classes is an understanding of one another's claims. For the purpose international conferences are held, international leagues and world courts are established and boards of conciliation and mediation are created. For this purpose interracial committees are being formed in the North and in the South. The spirit of racial cooperation is Negro Boys' Club of Northwich coming into exist-ate as April of the present is adopted and is carrying it is undoubtedly the most intensive character and health program for the boy, that has been available to colored this city, according to of-sports of activities of the comment coming from a of prominent citizens of community, most of whom are with social welfare work. club had its inception in the impulse of a group of spirited men, who, interested Negro boy as the Negro man arrow, formerly and launched organization without a single funds.

The this club, according to its and others who are accustomed with its purposes, is to the boy the benefit of clean clothes, training, moral, and physical. It aims to take and direct the natural of the boy to play into that will bring about his account; that will awaken his mind and creative impulses; that will reinforce his moral code; generally prepare him to defends the sturdy and worthy of the future.

E. H. E. S. PETERS, Pres Mr. Abner Lee, Secretary Boys' Club, Dear Sir: I am greatly gratified at the efforts of yourself and your associates in the interest of the safety of our boys. I know of no movement more important, or that more imperatively commends itself to the cooperation of the community. J. RILEY DUNGEE A Necessity 771Johnson Ave., Norfolk, Va. Sept. 24, 1925. Mr. Abner E. Lee, Dear Sir: I have noted with much pleasure and anticipation that the "Boys' Club" has resumed its activities for the coming season. An organization of this character is more than an adjunct or addition to our community, it is a necessity. Our city is growing; its development has been at the expense of the open spaces on which boys used to play ball and other games. It is the happy lot of the "Boys' Club" to both remedy this unfortunate situation and also give to the boys things they did not have even under the old order of things, discipline, supravivaion and companionship. Since boys are and will be boys they certainly need the first-two and will be both highly benefited and flattered by the third. While we are glad to see those responsible for the idea, enthusiastic we are also glad to note that they have not disdained such substantial things as plans, programs, schedule and or- present and if it is extended, especially in the field of education, Amricien's future is assured, all other things being equal. (1) Because it will give an opportunity to appreciate one's possibilities of attainment. This study may teach every ambitious individual the heights which he may attain by showing how others in less favored circumstances have achieved. It will teach that one's duty does not begin and end with himself and those who are like him in physical appearance, but that it reaches to all Americans. The study of what the members of the Negro group have done under adverse circumstances will animate the desires of those who live in more favorable circumstances to larger achievement. (5) Because a more efficient and patriotic citizenship may be secured. Knowledge for self is selfish, but knowledge for use is the way of efficient service. The study of the history of those men who make up America at present should lead to a greater efficiency on the part of all Americans. And yet patriotism savors of selfishness. For we love not only the country which we learn to serve, but also the country which serves us with its protection and its justice. Colored Americans will study this history in order to be more intelligently patriotic. What kind of a citizen will the Negro make, if the history upon which his claim to citizenship rests does not embrace his race group? All Americans may study these facts in order to adopt, in civic attitudes, a more constructive statesmanship and a judicial balance rather than a partisan and racial sentiment. Concluded Next Week. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1925 THE FIELD A group of boys of the Norfolk Colored Boys' Club and their leader following a hike, which the youngsters apparently thorny enjoyed. [Name] S. H. WILLIAMSON, V.-Pres A group of boys of the No:folk er following a hike, which the young organization. These plus adaptability are factors in success. It is also noted that the young men behind this project are permanent members of our community. We believe they will recognize to a high degree their responsibility and be faithful and conscientious in its discharge. There is so much in every respect admirable and commendable about the "Boys' Club" it is so bright with promise the idea itself is sound and it is both so necessary and vital that we could wish it might escape the common lot of human endeavor—troubles. An Appreciation Negro-Boys' Club of Norfolk. Adolescence is always seeking expression. That fact alone is sufficient for the organization, whose purposes and plans have for the past few months functioned so well for the boys of Norfolk who have become members of the club. The fine community spirit and interest in the welfare of the boys of the City of Norfolk, which prompted the organization of the club, also took cognizance of the fact that the boy is the future citizen, and whether he becomes an asset or a liability depends very largely upon the guidance of his mental and physical activities during the formative period of his growth and character. The Negro Boys' Club of Norfolk seeks to guide its members' activities in just such channels as will take him from the undesirable places during his hours of leisure as well as to create in him a desire for the foster and cleaner things of his social life. As an organization, its aims, I am sure meet the hearty approval of all thinking citizens who are interested in the boys of Norfolk, its future citizens. C. W. REYNOLDS, Principal Vendor T. W. Washington H.S. Y. W. C. A. 416 Cumberland St. Norfolk, Va. May 22, 1925. To The Boy's Club Gentlemen: I have watched with great interest the activities of the Boy's Club since its organization. We are endeavoring in our work with girls in the Young Women's Christian Association to raise the standard of living and set higher ideals among the girls and young women in this community but we feel that our efforts will be fruitless unless a similar effort is made to raise the standard among the boys who are the associates and comrades of these girls! The program as I have seen it is character building and the efforts put forth by the promoters of this program have been untiring and productive of much good.

The program as outlined by Mr. Lee and Turner includes a type of physical, social and educational training that without doubt will be far reaching in its moral effect on our boys. The very nature of basketball, football and baseball demands boys who are already physically fit, such clubs playing primarily for rank in athletics are necessarily limited in membership. Your club, however that seeks to secure a membership of at least 1,000 boys who are to enjoy a program of hikes, tennis, outdoor races, calisthenics, scouting parties, camp fire gatherings and the like, is indeed to be commended. The big muscle work required by this type of physical training plays a large part in the moral and ethical training of youth and is indeed worth while. Your indoor program of debates, story-telling, essays, orations and health lectures provides a helpful source of recreation for boys during the long winter evenings. As long as your board fosters a program for the leisure time of our boys it should receive encouragement and financial help from all who are interested in the welfare of our boys. Surely such a club will materially help to reduce the number of boys in cheap moving picture theatres of our city. The public schools are improved yearly, but they cannot fill those hours between three o'clock in the afternoon and bedtime. With the public parks closed to our boys, with no Y. M. C. A. and with no adequate playground our boys certainly stand between the Scylla and Chardibis of physical stagnation and moral degeneration. Bulletin 1917 No. 50. Department of Mr. Euric S.

CHARLES SUMNER'S EMINENT PLEA FOR GIRL, IS RECALLED Columist For Preston News Service: Gives Interesting Exit of History Of Stirring Days of Yore. The comment pleadings of that great abolitionist, Charles Summer, United States Senator from Massachusetts, in behalf of a five-year-old colored child, Sarah Robots, who, by her next friend, had caused the city of Boston in 1849 for damages on account of a refusal to receive her in the public schools, is vividly recited by the Cammeran, a columnist for the Preston News Service, in its release for this week. Says the Cameron, "On December 1, 1849, Mr. Sumner appeared before the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, as counsel for Sarah C. Roberts, a colored child five years old, who, by her next friend, had sued the city of Boston for damages on account of a duel to receive her in the public schools. The question stated by Mr. Sumner was: "Can any discrimination on account of color or race be made under the Constitution and laws of Massachusetts among the children entitled to the benefit of our public schools?" In opening his argument, Mr. Sumner said to the Court: "This little child ask at your hands her personal rights. So doing she calls openly upon you to decide a question which concerns the personal rights of every colored child; which concerns the fundamental principles of human rights; which concerns the Christian character of this community. Such parties, and such interests, so granted and varied, may justly challenge your most earnest attention." "In teaching upon Summer's remarkable logic in this particular case, his biographer says in 1874: 'The freedom from caste which characterizes the schools of the young states of the Northwest be largely ascribed to the influence of this argument presented to the bench of judges in Massachusetts.'" "Charles Summer, the truly great Commoner, continued his argument of 1849 with the following alliterations: "Listen to Summer, of 1849: 'As the State receives strength from the unity and solidarity of its citizens, without distinction of class, so the school receives new strength from the unity and solidarity of all classes beneath its roof. In this way the poor, the bumble, and the neglected share not only the companionship of their presence, in drawing toward the school a more watchful superintendence. A degraded or neglected class, if left to themselves, come more degraded and neglected. To him that hath to be given; and the world trusts to these words, turns from the fortune and outcast to the fortune and fortune. It is the aim of our system of public schools by the blending of all classes, to draw upon the whole school the attention which is too apt to be given only the favored few, and thus secure the poor their portion of the faithful sunshine. But Colored Children, Place Apart By Themselves, Are Deprived Of This Blessing. May it please your honors, such are some of the things which it has occurred to me to say in this important case. I have occupied much of your time, but I have not restousted the topics. 'Still, which way soever we turn, we are brought back to one single proposition, The Equality Of Men Before The Law. This stands as the mighty guardian of the rights of the colored children in this case, it is the constant, ever present tutelary genius of this Commonwealth, trowning upon every privilege of birth upon every right of it, you cannot slight it or avoid it; you cannot restrain it. It remains that you should welcome it. Do this and your words will be a charter and freehold of rejoicing to a race which has carried by much suffering a title to much regard. Your judgment will become a sacred landmark, not in jurisprudence only, but in the history of freedom, giving precious encouragement to the warry and heavy ladies in her wars in the Massachusetts in will they through you have a fresh title to regard and an example to the whole land.' "Thus spoke Charles Sumner in 1819. What would he say were he alive today?" Have PRETTY Hair LONG, SOFT, GLOSSY (Like Picture) You can do it. Make your hair, beautiful, long and silky.

Following a number of recent inquiries in and near New York City, which innocent Negroes were arrested, only to be discharged for evidence, the New York City asked for and featured on September S, a statement from former White Assistant Secretary N. A. P. protesting against the injustice done to individual Negroes and to the entire city. The terrible murder of little Dary Day by the mental defective,anson Noel of New Jersey," did Mr. White, "bings to light second case within recent months the Metropolitan area in which Negroes have been made victims of no hysteria. In the Daily murder the first reports told of the kidnapping by a racer. Race predicts into an encounter and Negroes Pierce, a Negro taxi driver, had not been held once hours before by Noel, in a possibility that he would be killed by a mob. A short time ago the newspaper carried alarming headlines calling of the arrest of a number of accused of the murder of Lawrence Kane in Brooklyn. Insignation has resulted in the release of every one of the Negroes arrested and no longer is a Negro suspected of committing that brutal order. Negroes have been time and again victimized and all Negroes have been made to suffer through great gregoriness on the part of public officials, often to cover up their own negligence or their lack of information, to accuse Negroes because it is a popular thing to Commenting upon this statement published in the New York World and its effect upon public sentiment is evidenced by numerous telephone and other messages he had received, Mr. White said, it was an object lesson in the Negro's opportunistic influence the conduct of daily dolls. If colored people will let white editors know of their displeasure when it is sought to fasten crime on individual Negroes and on the race, if they will write letters and call upon editors in person, they can not only change the attitude of white newspapers but profoundly affect, through those newspapers, the sentiment of the more community. Colored people should stop buying newspapers or is it they should let the editors know. No newspaper wants to lose readers, colored or white. The results achieved will depend entirely in the energy of colored people in being after those results."

These preparations, states, Secretary Crocker, were made in anticipation of the most elaborate and comprehensive exhibition the association has ever presented to the public of this and surrounding counties survived as he has been previously announced the fire works display will be handled by the Ohio Fireworks Company, of Cleveland. A special fireworks expert will be here to look after the entire fire works program, which promises to be the most elaborate ever seen at a local fair. Every night there will be a veritable Fourth of July celebration for the mammoth crowd that is expected to attend the fair. Some idea of the set pieces of fireworks can be used here at the coming fair can be realized when it is known that some are over 150 feet long and 50 feet high. Few people can realize how beautiful an effect can be realized when a frame this large is exhibited in all its glory of lights and color. The beautiful color effects, the bright lights, the cannon like reports and the various beautiful numbers that are created, tend to make a fireworks show the most popular form of entertainment that one can witness. Interesting Daily Features But daily features will be quite as prominent as the nightly program. On Oct. 21, the second day of the fair, the Execisor Band, of Norfolk will give an all-day concert. This band needs no introduction to the people of Tidewater and adjacent communities. It is regarded as Virginia's most popular musical organization, and its concerts have won distinction for the organization in various sections of the country. Aside from the band concerts and fireworks display, there will be fast horse races each day at 1:30 p.m. and free acts both day and night. During the daily band concerts, St. Joseph's Catholic Band of Norfolk and the Metropolitan Ecxea of Portsmouth, will participate. But the educational features of the Fair for this year have not been overlooked. In fact, it appears that they have been emphasized. The exhibits are expected to be the best and most all-inclusive from both homes farms and industry ever assembled here. A list of prominent speakers has been secured, each one possessing a familiarity with the subject upon which he will speak. Froft Kelley Miller, of Howard University, will come here on the third day of the fair, October, 23, and will be the principal speaker. Other prominent men of the county and Stat. will speak on various days. The program of the fair is announced in these columns.

Mrs. Lillie "Tins" and child oren, Walt "Hazel and Mari --- News of the City of Richmond PREFERS CHARGES AGAINST OFFICER Richmond, Va.-David "Duck" Dawson, who was arrested a few days, ago on a charge of recklessly and carlessly driving his horse has logged with the arresting officer's superior charges against him for what Mr. Dawson alleges was the use of insulting and abusive language. Mr. Dawson states that he is determined to push the charges to the limit in an effort to have the officer properly dealt with. James Devereaux, who it is said upon hearing the officer curse and abuse Mr. Dawson, attempted to remonstrate with him, was arrested and charged with interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duties. Devereaux refused bail when hailed before the desk sergeant, it is alleged, declining to remove his hat to be sworn. It is said that he claimed to belong to a religious sect which neither believes in swearing or being uncovered. It is reported that he sang and prayed all night in the police station. According to Mr. Dawson, who related the incident to the representative of the Journal and Guide, it was brought out in court that while at a watering trough his horse slipped and fell and knocked over the motorcycle of the officer who came upon the scene about that time and demanded to know what the 'd..... nigger' was doing to his wheel and used other abusive language. Mr. Dawson said he promptly told the officer that he did not like the language and would not stand for it, and after explaining what had happened the officer tried to drive him away, but he refused to go and informed the officer that he intended to swear out a warrant for his arrest. The officer then arrested Dawson, who after getting bail, tried to get to a war room for the officer going he said to several magistrates then to the chief of police, thence to the director of public safety, who Mr. Dawson said told him, that he would see that the case against him and Mr. Beveraux would be dismissed in police court. And that he would also prefer charges against the officer. Mr. Dawson plans to carry it through and see that the officer is properly dealt with. HARTSHORN COLLEGE OPENS Richmond, Va.--The Hartshorn Memorial College formally opened September 22. While the registration is still incomplete there is an approximate enrollment of 300 students, which includes about 33 in the college department, QCQ boarding and 200 day students, according to the estimate of the dean Church Balks On Membership Of Condemned Man Bunse Napier, of Cordele, Ga., sentenced to die in the electric chair October 5, following conviction on a statutory offense, will go to his death without having been a member of Union Baptist Church during his last hours as had been his expressed wish, according to press reports. Napier was converted in prison under the spiritual guidance of Rev. T. H. Horton of the First Baptist Church of Cordle and was baptized several weeks ago. He expressed a wish to die a member of the Union Baptist Church in his community home, it was learned, but when the matter was presented to the church for action differences in opinion rose which will probably result in his going to the electric chair without membership in any church. Railroads Offer Special Rates To Cotton Pickers In order to assist Southern cotton planters out of the dilemma caused by shortage of cotton pickers brought on by the migration of large numbers of Negroes from the cotton belt to the industrial centers of the North and West, several railroads entering the cotton area have offered special rates to cotton pickers who indicate a desire to travel from the border states to the cotton belt, according to press reports. Hundreds of cotton pickers, Negroes and Mexicans are being carried into Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi daily by train loads, is reported, and leading planters and business men are of the opinion that the acute labor shortage has been remedied. They think the entire cotton crop will be picked without further labor difficulties. Hawkins, the guests of their prj. Seth, McDonald.

JOURNAL AND GUIDE BUREAU 1212 St. John Street Richmond, Va.—The Bon Bon Puzzles of 1925 presented at Reformer Hall Friday night under the direction of Mrs. Matthea F. Pryor, was a success. The show, while a little lengthy was, as a whole, very good. A real, live, snappy chorus of high stopping beautiful girls kept the audience humming, whistling and wishing for more. The dancing numbers were especially good. The Egyptian Sergentine Dance by Miss Geneva Tinsley in the Oriental scene, dancing before the Princess of the Nile, was a great exhibition of the terpsichorean art. Other outstanding stars were Willette Ferguson and Bertha Toombs, whose work as end-men in the minstrel opening was very amusing and entertaining. The splendid to dancing of Mrs. Mattie Barcroft, who represented the snow girl in a scene in a Paris Cabinet, was also worthy of mention as were many others. It was about the best amateur show of its kind seen here in a long time. Sabbath Glee Club To Sing For Patron Richmond, Va....The management of the Sabbath Glee Club announces that that organization has been engaged to go to West Chester to sing at a private entertainment at the home of Mr. Joseph Hergesheimer, the novelist, on October 15th.

Mr. Hergesheimer, for whom they are to sing in West Chester is the gentleman who gave them the use of the place in which they now rehearse and hold their private recitals. He furnished them the hall and all of its equipment, lights, heat, water, chairs and piano. St. Luke Night Richmond, Va.----Sunday night was St. Luke night at the Sixth Mt. Zion Church, which wound up its rededication exercises with a splendidly arranged program by the L. O. of St. Luke. The church was jammed to the doors with the regular Saint Luke following. The singing of the Saint Luke choir made up from the office force and the address by Mrs. Maggie L. Walker were the outstanding features of the program which was exceptionally good as a whole.

WRIGLEY'S "After Every Meal" Richmond ST.JOHN WATCHMAN HOLDS CONVENTION Richmond, Va.-The 15th annual session of the Grand Lodge of St. John Watchman was held here this week beginning September 29th and lasting through October 1st. The convention was held in the Sharon Baptist Church, which is known now as the convention church, because many of the lodges meet there each year because it is so central. Tuesday, opening day, was filled with activities of the lodge, holding three sessions during the day. The night session being the first public meeting was well attended by the general public, who witnessed a wonderful program which included talks by W. I. Wright, Grand Master; Lawyer W. F. Denny, Grand Legal Adviser; Sketches of the achievement of the Order by Mrs. Artemia J. Miller, Grand Secretary; songs by the Sabbath and Alpha Glee Clubs and other interesting figures. The order is represented by delegates from as far west as Ohio and Michigan. At the public meeting on Wednesday night the annual sermon was preached by Rev. James S. Hatcher and another interesting program was rendered. Thursday, after the installation of the newly elected officers and the banquet and other minor details were attended to, the many delegates began departing for their homes and the 15th annual session of the Grand Lodge of St. John Watchman was history. ways an inborn desire to do things mischievous that caused three small boys to have an illegal warternel party a few days ago. While the fivering of the watermelon by these boys was wrong, it at the same time carried with it considerable amusement to the onlookers. With an absolute disregard as to who saw them, except the storekeeper, these boys decided to have just one more feast. While two watched the storekeeper who had a string of 'melons lying in front of the store on the sidewalk, the third stole up and grabbed the biggest 'melon in the bunch and the three made off down the street at a breakneck speed. According to, seemingly prearranged plans, they were to turn into an ally a half block away, but made the fatal mistake of all three trying to turn in at the same time and on the same spot. Down they weft in a hean on top of the captured prize which was reduced to a stream. The boys arising gave hasty glances at each other, then in the direction of the store and at the fragments lying on the ground, each picked up a piece and drug himself slowly into the alley, grabbing and accusing the other of having caused the disaster.

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. Prof. W. S. Scarborough, as quoted in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of September 19, writing in Current History, thinks that the average Negro, if a farmer and doing fairly well, should remain and work out his destiny in the South, as he gains little by shifting from one section to another, and only intensifies the race problem in the places to which he migrates. But it is not the average Negro, farmer or other, "who is doing fairly well" who seeks to better his condition by shifting; it is the person with a hopeless condition on his hands and who sees no relief ahead who seeks a change for the things he longs. Until law and legal process prevail in the South the Negro will continue to migrate. Prof. W. S.

Until law and legal process prevail in the South the Negro will continue to migrate. The Deep Creek School Situation The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is surprised to learn of the sentiments reported to have been expressed by Superintendent Hurst of Norfolk County schools relative to this newspaper's recent comment on the disproportionate allocation of school funds among the white and colored children of Deep Creek township, Norfolk County. Mr. Hurst is reported as having made the statement that the farmers of Norfolk County pay the bulk of its taxes, and that it is their conviction, therefore, that they should not be required to pay more for the support of colored schools; that their elaborate schools are their own handiwork, and that even though the colored schools are below standard in equipment and buildings, no real injustice is done the colored race. This statement was made, evidently in defense of the county's position in not improving the Negro school at Deep Creek. If Mr. Hurst's views coincide with these which it is reported he imputed to the farmers, and if such sentiments are endorsed by him, then surely he reasons most illogically. It is not quite conceivable that a trained and experienced public official and an educator, such as Mr. Hurst is, could lend his endorsement to reasoning contrary to a fundamental axiom of economic law, which places upon the laborer and the consumer the burden of all taxation. The workman pays the taxes of his capitalistic employer, landlord and commissary. Regardless of who pays directly into the treasury the bulk of the taxes in any given community, the wealth of that community represents the combined thought, labor and endeavors of all its citizens, all of whom are entitled to a just and fair portion of whatever benefits their combined wealth should be sufficient to purchase. It is the labor of the Negroes of Deep Creek township, Norfolk County, which is contributing to the county's wealth and increasing its land values and making a good tax rate possible, that entitles them to a decent school building. They do not stand before the farmers of their district as pleading liabilities, but as direct contributors to the county's wealth. It is just as illogical to deny colored people decent school buildings and equipment on the grounds that the whites of their sections pay the bulk of the taxes as it would be to deny them the use of improved public roads and bridges on the same grounds. Are the colored people of Norfolk county to infer that the white farmers, whose land they till, are in a conspiracy to deny their children the privilege of learning the three R's in a decent building amidst habitable surroundings? Are the Negroes of Virginia to infer that wherever their material wealth does not measure up to that of their white neighbors they may not expect even fair educational advantages? These are logical inferences from the statement accredited to Superintendent Hurst, and evidently influence the policy of Norfolk County School Board. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE does not believe that such a policy represents the best thought of the intelligent white people of Virginia, yet it confesses that the situation at Deep Creek is sadly in need of the attention of these people. Farmers Should Grow Their Own Foodstuffs It stands to reason, as the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has pointed out in the past, that the farmer who does not raise his own foodstuffs but who has to purchase them, is playing a losing game. He has no way of winning, whether he be a farmer on a large or small scale. And there is always the possibility that his money crop, on which he has banked everything, may prove short or prices may go way down, and make it a serious matter with him as to how he shall feed himself and family and workers and his stock. The farmer who figures on raising his own food supply, including live stock and poultry, and then figures on his money crop will usually find himself on the safe side at the close of the year. Our farmers should remember this fact. A remarkable survey of farming conditions in ten States—Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas—discloses that an unbelievably large percentage of their farmers do not raise things commonly regarded as essentials for the table. The study was made by E. J. Bodman of the agricultural committee of the Arkansas Bankers Association. He found that of more than half a million farms, 20 per cent of them produced no eggs; that of 597,217 farms, 23 per cent had no vegetable gardens; that of 950,980 farms, 33 per cent raised no chickens; that of 1,172,726 farms, 46 per cent made no butter; that of 2,005,393 farms, 76 per cent raised no Irish potatoes and that of 1,438,544 farms 56 per cent raised no pigs. Mr. Bodman also found that of 2,415,966 farms, 55 per cent were without pure bred animals and that feeding good grain to poor stock is a waste of grain. Cotton is the money crop and Southern planters have long sacrificed everything else to cotton-production. Many of these large growers will not allow their Negro tenants to have any poultry or pigs or gardens, but insist that they buy their supplies from the company stores or the store keepers with whom the planters are in cahoot; the results being that the tenant eats most that he makes and has nothing to show for his year's work, and is often in debt to the storekeeper, who also keeps the books, which the tenant may not question without getting into serious trouble, as was the case of the unfortunate Philips county group, in Arkansas, who paid with their lives or long imprisonment for undertaking to question the storekeepers accounts and seeking to get a fair settlement. Our country preachers should encourage the members of their congregations to buy small farms of their own, and cease to work as tenants for others, and they should warn them that their first business should be to plan out for the year sufficient acreage upon which to raise all the foodstuffs they need and to have well developed garden plots, with plenty of poultry and enough porkers to furnish the needed meat and lard; then they should advise them to plan for the money crop on the acreage remaining. This is the only way our farmers can be independent and save enough to add to their acreage from year to year. If they will adopt the rule generally and live up to it they will surely prosper.

This is the only way our farmers can be independent and save enough to add to their acreage from year to year. If they will adopt the rule generally and live up to it they will surely prosper. Another Species of Lynching Emphatic disapproval of mob violence voiced by the Virginian-Pilot in connection with news dispatches telling of the storming of the Asheville, N. C., jail by persons bent on lynching a colored man suspected of a serious crime, expresses not only the fine attitude of that newspaper, but is typical of a very large section of the Southern press. That is heartening. It is such appeals to public conscience, vigorously expressed by newspapers of influence, that form the basis of the Negro's faith in the South. But it is timely to call attention to another form of lynch-law which is becoming more and more apparent, and that is the economic strangulation of the Negro in certain sections of the South, as for example, Norfolk, where it is currently and quite reliably reported that one of the conditions laid down to the Ford interests when they were negotiating to bring their assembly plant here, was that no Negro labor should be employed at the proposed plant. This condition, it is stated, was made to preclude the colored laborer from participating in the high wage rate paid at the Ford plants. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE does not pretend to possess official information on this now widely circulated report, but it has noted that the local Ford plant employs no colored workmen in any capacity, whereas colored workmen are employed in Ford plants in other parts of the South.

And this recalls the widely circulated re- ports concerning the American Chain Company's plant which operated here a few years ago. These reports indicated that there prevailed in certain local quarters a conviction that this company, by its employment of a large number of Negroes at liberal wages, was exercising an unwholesome influence in the community. So persistently, it was reported, was the company embarrassed in its operations here, that it concluded it was persona non grata and pulled up and left. Whether the above related reports are absolutely true or not, does not alter the fact that there is evident in certain sections of the South a studied and sinister plan to restrict the colored workman's opportunity to labor at a living wage. Norfolk does not escape this charge. Here we have a situation that is not at all savory. This economic lynch-law works to debar Negro workmen from the trades and occupations, which, by their very nature, command a liberal compensation, and restricts him to the most menial callings for which the pay is ridiculously low. A casual inquiry into the wage situation locality as it relates to common labor reveals facts that at once answer the question of why so many colored family heads work and live in the North, while their families, relatives, church and home ties are in Norfolk and other Southern cities. Such a species of economic lynching of the colored man as restricting his opportunity to labor at a living wage seems paradoxical to the South, when it is recalled that this section's entire educational system for the Negro is intended to increase his capacity to work. Industrial education that would give the black man an opportunity to use conjunctively his hand and brain for the upbuilding of the South, and for the opening of new vistas of a higher and better citizenship for himself and family, has been the South's policy of Negro education for the past half century. In spite of this, the South now seems to be committed to a policy of defeating the very purpose for which it has claimed the colored man should be educated. Regardless of how proficient may be the Negro workman, his proficiency gained oftimes by following the South's policy for educating him, he generally finds that he must find climes other than his native heath to employ his talents in industry. Here is a situation that calls loudly to the sense of fair play evidenced by Southern news papers concerning physical lynching. Here is a situation to which Southern chambers of commerce might address themselves with a great deal of benefit to their communities, from which colored labor is prompted to migrate. Most of the money paid to Negro laborers returns speedily to the source from which it came. It sometimes serves as the needed balance in local trade circles, and who would deny that the fifty odd thousand Norfolk Negroes drawing an adequate wage would furnish just the trade balance needed to restore stability to numerous wavering mercantile establishments in this city. Spirit of the Press Spirit of the Press A Tradition Smashed From Virginian-Bilot. The sportive adventure of the drunks and jailbirds who almost tore down the Asheville, North Carolina, jail the other night in the endeavor to lynch a Negro accused of rape, is being taken with the utmost seriousness by the Asheville authorities. They do not like at all having a perfectly good jail torn to pieces, and have proceeded to cause 30 of the would-be lynchers to be indicted. Moreover, it has been only a few months since a North Carolina jurist, Judge N. A. Sinclair, pronounced sentence on twenty-one men accused of mob violence in the other end of the same State. Thus does the realism of a drab and matter-of-fact age proceed with the demolition of gorgeous and high-sounding tradition. As long as mob murders were committed by persons unknown to grand juries or to the public, it remained possible to regard the membership of mobs as composed of impetuous, but chivalrous, gentlemen of the old South, interested society in the protection of womanhood. But now that the unimaginative Tar Heels have gone out and collected a couple of mobs, and filed them away in cells where they can be examined at leisure, the fine old tradition goes to smash. For the prisoners that the strong-arm squads have dragged in bear about as much resemblance to the aristocracy of the old South as Battling Siki does to a bishop. The mob that Judge Sinclair sent to the penitentiary was led, not by Colonel Carter, of Cartersville, but by a barber of none too savory reputation even before he organized his mob. The Asheville crowd, as they come in, are mostly hailed by the keepers of the hoosegow as old acquaintances who have boarded and lodged there before. The most superficial examination of recent history among Virginia's southern neighbors renders two conclusions inescapable: first, in North Carolina, at least, gentlemen don't lynch; second, in North Carolina, at least, others had better not. VICE RESPECTABLE CITY TEAM The Public Pulse The Public Pulse Norfolk County Schools Editor Journal and Guide. In his address to the colored teachers of Norfolk County early this month. Supt. James Hurst replied to the criticism of Norfolk County's attitude toward its colored schools, as published in the Virginian-Pilot last July and commented on by the JOURNAL AND GUIDE. The farmers of Norfolk County pay the bulk of its taxes, asserted Mr. Hurst, and that it is their conviction, therefore, that they should not be required to pay more for the support of the colored schools. They assert that their elaborate schools are their own handiwork; and while admitting that the colored schools are below the standard in buildings and equipment, no real in justice they aver, is done the colored race. This position, by implication, at least, is endorsed by Stunt. Hurst. Without questioning the sincerity of our good friends, their position, in the opinion of the writer, could not be more untenable or illogical. The advocates of this antiquated doctrine were disastrously routed by the framers of Virginia's constitution a quarter century ago. But had it been incorporated into our basic laws, the attitude of Norfolk County would still prove an anomaly. The half dozen or more systems of railroads traversing the county, the numerous manufacturing industries and other public works situated therein, contribute to the county's financial support far in excess of all the farmers within its environs. Will Mr. Hurst or some enterprising farmer tell how the public school funds derived from this source should be apportioned. In Norfolk county, where the races are a almost numerically equal, there are high schools for the whites and none for the colored. Instruction to be had at the very doors of the whites must be had by the colored race only by almost superhuman effort. And this in the face of the fact that so able a sociological authority as Dr. L. T. Royster has declared the educated Negro an asset to the community. We do not ask for elaborate school buildings and equipment for our children. But we submit that justice, humanity and the public interest demand that the colored children of Norfolk county have at least school facilities adequate to their needs. Respectfully, An Interested Citizen. DRUG HIDDEN IN FRUIT Southampton, Eng.—Many apples of a shipment from South Africa were found to be filled with opium. "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution Evolution and the Bible I have shown in this series of articles that the evolutionist made fatal admissions that dig a grave and logically bury evolution. Darwin's admission of "three million species, many trained observers and not a record of a single species passing into another"—that is fatal to the theory. Dr. Etheridge's statement that there is "not a single fossil in all the great British Museum that lends the slightest color evolution" is a damaging statement. The fact that Darwinism is founded on "eight hundred we may well suppose" instead of eight hundred facts shows how shaky the foundation really is. No proofs, whatever, absolutely none. This is the real status of evolution September 28, 1925, as I write. If there is a single proof of evolution, let some name it. Evolution is fairly contradicted by every form of life reproducing just as Moses said it would do. Always and everywhere, each after its kind can be verified in any form of life you examine. But I come to the Bible, God's eternal, unbroken, unspeakable word. If the Bible is true and the book says "forever settled in heaven is Thy word O God"— Letters to the Editor The Best Colored Journal My dear Mr. Young:—It gives me pleasure to enclose my check for a renewal of my subscription to the JOURNAL AND GUIDE. I have enjoyed each number and cannot afford to be without it. I must congratulate you on the remarkable development of your paper. In point of make-up, news items and especially editorial matter, I consider the JOURNAL AND GUIDE "facile princeps" among the colored journals that come to me each week. I trust that you have by this time entirely recovered your health and that you may live a long time to enjoy the fruits of your labors and to continue to serve with ever increasing efficiency the Race, to whose uplift you are giving your life. Very truly yours. WM. F. HOLMES, M. D. Florence, S. C., Sept. 25, 1925. onkey God" Morris ion and also "the grass withereth the flower fadeth but the word of God abideth forever." Let God be true, though every man be found a liar. The scriptures cannot be broken. Now the Bible, not in one place, but a dozen refers to Adam or assumes Adam so that we see that the whole human history has no meaning if you deny Adam. For instance, we all are conscious of being sinners. None righteous. All men in all ages, all races and nations differing profoundly in civilization, color and climate, agree absolutely in that they all know that there is something wrong with them. The Bible says, "all have sinned" and it gives the only logical satisfying reason. It says "By one man sin entered the world and death by sin." It says, "As in Adam all die." There you have the great tragic cause of sin clearly and simply set forth. That is Moses' story in Genesis. Genesis gives the world the only story of the fall, of marriage, of the flood, of the three main branches of the human family up to the wonderful story of the call of Abraham and his seed who were to be and have been the spiritual tutors of the world. No reason for Abraham except the universal fall of Adam. Moses in Genesis, after telling of God creating grasses, herbs, fruit trees, fish, birds and beasts and cattle after its kind, thus forever barring evolution, tells of the creation of Adam, not out of the flesh of the missing link, but out of the dust of the grounds. Then in chapter two of Genesis, Moses tells, not that man went out with a club and captured a wife after a fight with her relatives in some distant cave—all that "eave stuff" is pure humbug, spun out of the evolutionists' imagination—that God put Adam to sleep and opened his side and took out a rib and built a wife for Adam, and married Adam to his wife. Genesis two, tells what Adam says, but Jesus Christ in Matt. 19, O. K.'s the whole story and appeals to the Jews by asking, "Have ye not read that He which made them in the beginning made them male and female?" Christ is the creator. He says God made them not some algae, protoplasm, pole cat, or missing link that ultimately evolutionized into man, but that he made man at the beginning and gave to the first pair the law that a man this wife should leave father mother and cleave to his and they twain should be flesh. If enamored by guesses of Darwin you deny you call Jesus Christ a that same Christ who raid fore one jot or title of my shall fail the heaven and earth shall pass away. I am the Bible says there would false teachers in the last who will deny the Lord bought them, but it also their damnation slumber and that for them is reserve MISTS OF DARKNESS EVR, a truly tragic and price to pay for poising wiser than God. When a soul is lost for in- ing God a liar, it will be mighty poor consolation to the that man got a little cheap by priy by posing as a modern The Lord told us to preach word, and to earnestly con- for the faith that was once all delivered to the saints. It Paul's glory that he had kept faith, and he said if I or an a from heaven preach any of gospel that is that I deliver namely, that all men died Adam, and are made alive Jesus Christ. Paul says to such let him be accured. I wants to write under the wiling curse of God Abnighty perverting his gospel might have a crown of life being true to it and preaching. In my next and I trust article, I propose to quote those passages in the old and testaments which refer to Adam and prove to any man with open mind that the whole life assumes and is based upon creation and fall of the hum race from whom all the race nations, no matter what the color or creed, or civilization, the human family sprung and that is so, then evolution is only an un科学istic theory supported by a single fact, but colossal lie concocted by the de and palmed on man by scienti cheat poor, but fallen in doomed and damned unless is born again, of his one chance through the infinite net of God, of being regenerated therefore of being saved.
