North Carolina Governor Bars
Relatives of Injured Parties
From Death Chamber of
Condemned In The Future.
Members of the families of injured parties will no longer be permitted to witness electrocutions of the party injuring at the penitentiary in Raleigh, N. C., as a source of personal satisfaction for a wrong committed, if the request of Governor McLean on Dr. J. H. Norman, warden of the prison, is acceded to, according to statements appearing in the public press this week.
On numerous occasions relatives of persons wronged have asked and been granted permission to witness the execution of the parties condemned to die for these wrongs. Assistant Attorney General Nash and the Governor are of the opinion that such a practice constitutes a disgrace upon the State and the Governor wants it, abolished.
Governor's Statement
"The execution of a criminal is a most solemn thing in the administration of the law," the Governor declared, "representing the sovereignty of the people, and there should be nothing about an execution to indicate revenge. An execution ought not to be permitted to be looked on as an act of personal satisfaction for a wrong." When William C. Stewart and his son, Elmer, two white men were to be executed some months ago for the murder of two prohibition officers, relatives of the dead officers desired to witness the electrocutions. Mr. Nash ruled that they did not come within the law of privileged persons and protested that for relatives of the injured to be allowed to witness the execution was a disgrace upon the Commonwealth. Previous to that time legal witnesses of an electrocution were startled to see a young white woman whom a colored man was alleged to have criminally assaulted, enter the death-house and look upon his execution. The matter again was brought to the attention of the Governor when last week the husband of an assaulted woman watched the electrocution of a Moore county colored man condemned for the crime.
Among Mexicans the proportion of bridegrooms who take brides older than themselves is said to be larger than among any other people.

POLICE MAKE RAID IN THE VICE CRUSADE
POLICE MAKE RAID IN THE VICE CRUSADE
Five Arrested In Area Complained Of By Citizens; Women Offenders Draw Heavy Fines in Police Court
COOPERATION PROMISED BY DIRECTOR EFFECTIVE
The vice crusade instituted in certain untown districts by a group of citizens a week or more ago took an effective turn Friday night, when officers Anderson and Fentress arrested two colored women and three white sailors in a house in Smith court, the heart of the vice area complained of. The women drew fines of $20.00 each in police court Saturday morning when they were arraigned on charges of soliciting for immoral purposes. The sailors, who were used as Commonwealth witnesses were freed.
Makes Strong Defense
Attorney Eugene Diggs representing the women made an eloquent plan in their defense, contending that the mere presence of the white men and colored women in the house did not constitute an offense, in the absence of other evidence of improper conduct. The court asked the sailors why they went into the house, and they said that they had been invited by the women whom they had met on the streets. This testimony was evidence of solicitation and brought about the imposition of the fines.
Promised Cooperation
Some days ago when the pastor and a member of the trustee board of St. John's A. M. E. Church complained of vice conditions within the vicinity of their house of worship to Director of Public Safety Col. Borland, that official assured them that immediate cognizance of the situation would be taken by the police department. The arrests of Friday night are regarded as indicating that the promised police cooperation is in effect.
Series of Criminal Assault Attempts Reported in City
Series of Criminal Assault Attempts Reported in City
A series of attempts at criminal assault approaching an epidemic of this sort of crime, recently have been committed against a number of colored women of the city, according to reports filed with the police.
The latest of these attacks was on Miss Abethia Jones, 834 Princess Anne road, Wednesday night, September 30, when an unidentified brown-skinned man hold up and choked her in attempt to criminal assault, according to police reports. A few weeks previously a somewhat similar attack was made on a young woman at her home in Anne street, it was alleged. On the same day police received reports of such an attack on an aged woman of Barney street. Police are of the opinion that the crimes were committed by the same man. Detectives Nowitzky and Spencer, in an interview with a Guide reporter, expressed determination of the police to eventually apprehend the culprit and land him behind the bars for many seasons.
Just a few weeks ago a man received sentences in Corporation Court No. 2 aggregating 48 years in the penitentiary, for similar crimes.
Pender Freed Of Statutory Charge
Frank Pender who recently was arrested on the streets at the instigation of Miss Elizabeth Johnson on a charge of attempted criminal assault, was freed when arraigned for a preliminary hearing in police court.
in police court.
Pender plead mistaken identity through his attorney, James M. Harrison. Mr. Harrison pointed to what he termed the improbability of Pender being the man wanted, and contended that the circumstances pointed to the crime having been committed by a person somewhat familiar with the house, inasmuch as it appeared that Miss Johnson's ass ail ail a waited until a 15-year-old boy had gone from the house just a few minutes earlier. Furthermore, it was testified that upon entering the hoise the man went directly to the room of the young woman:
roof of the yoyo Miss Johnson was positive in her identification, but Pender stoutly denied his guilt.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE PRIEST FUTILE
Demented Woman Fires Three Shots At Father O'Keefe Of St. Benedict The Moor In New York.
A colored widow of fifty years, believed to be demented, tried vainly to assassinate Father Thomas M. O'Keefe, pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Benedict the Moor, on West 43rd street, New York City, Monday morning while the priest was on his way to the church to celebrate the 8 o'clock mass, stated press dispatches Tuesday.
The woman, later found to be Mrs. Helen Gruver, had concealed herself in the darkened basement of the church and fired at Father O'Keefe three times just as he entered the building through the basement. One of the bullets passed through his coat, but none hit him. Before shooting, she cried out, "Father is that you?" He answered in the affirmative, to which she replied, "I'm going to kill you."
Mgr. O'Keefe ran into the streets crying some one was trying to kill him as the bullets whistled by his form. A chauffeur, in passing the building saw the woman emerge with revolver in hand. He wring it from her hands and held her until a policeman appeared on the scene and placed her under arrest.
Explains Grievance
At the police station Mrs. Grauer said that Mgr. O'Keefe had evicted her from a three room tenement owned by the church. Father O'Keefe said that some years ago Mrs. Grauer, who was a communicant of the church, had been granted permission to live in the tenement for which only a small rental was changed because she was a widow. Some months ago, he said, it was believed that she had died in the house, when no life had been observed in there for some time, and the door was broken open to ascertain the facts. Later two of the three rooms were taken from her. It was this, it is believed, which preyed on her mind causing her to become aggravated at Father O'Keefe. The woman had not been seen in the church for several years, Father O'Keefe said.
COLORED PEOPLE TO GET $200,000 XMAS SAVINGS
Race Citizens Of The City Have Sacrificed And Saved Large Sums For Special Purposes.
The colored citizens of this city will have what might be very closely estimated at $200,000 Christmas savings money to spend for a joyful Yuletide or to return to the safety vaults of local banks to await the coming of the proverbial rainy day. The Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, in which the bulk of the Christmas savings of the colored citizens here is carried announce that it will pay out about $100,000. But as Negroes do business with practically every bank in the city it might be estimated that they have about another $100,000 stored around town in other financial institutions which have been punched in on their cards during the past year.
Saved At Sacrifice
Christmas savings money, though in most cases with members of the race is banked at a deal of sacrifice and preservation, when it comes back it is then "pure velvet." It is the little surplus beyond the weekly or monthly pay, and more than often guarantees the visit of Santa to a home that otherwise might not enjoy the visit of this patron saint. Not all of the great deluge of Christmas savings dollars that will come into the hands (Continued on Page Six)
APPROVE THE BUDGETS FOR CHEST FUND
Community Fund Committee
Puts O. K. On Figures
Presented by Budget Committee
of Council.
APPRECIATES FEELING OF UNITY IN CAMPAIGN
The budget committee of the Community Fund this week approved the budgets for the colored agencies made and presented some days ago by the budged committee of the Colored Council of Social Agencies.
The budget as prepared by the Council and approved by the Community Fund-committee is as follows.
Boy's Club.....$1,785.00
Traveler's Aid.....1,386.00
Y. W. C. A.....2,017.00
United Charities.....4,500.00
Maternity Home.....1,655.00
Community Center.
The Community Fund budget committee expressed itself in appreciative terms regarding the unity of feeling among the colored agencies, and the care which they had taken in preparing and studying their own budgets. It was felt that they were reasonable in the amounts asked and that the recommendations of the budget committee of the Council of Social Agencies were such as could best be accepted as a whole. It is the understanding, as in former years, that the white people will agree to match dollar for dollar the amount raised by the colored campaign organization, and collected, up to one-half of the total of the goal of the colored campaign.
BREAK RECORD IN RAISING SCHOOL FUNDS
Colored Citizens Surpass All Previous Efforts In Contributing For Education In The Hampton-Tuskegee Drive.
All records in educational fund-raising by the colored people of America have been surpassed in the Hampton-Tuskegee Institutes' endowment campaign, after a twelve monts' effort, declared Chellis A. Austin, vice chairman of the fund, this week. Dr. Austin said headquarters reports show that 5,039 colored alumni have contributed to the fund, their aggregate pledges amounting to $211,900.
This is said to represent the largest amount ever raised among the colored people for educational purposes. They have pledged $50,000 in the past month. The contributions represent every State in the Union, the number of colored persons pledging being equal to that of the white, says Mr. Austin.
The average sum of gifts of white contributors has been much greater than that of the colored, owing to the higher economic status of the white race, the colored pledges averaging $12. The Hampton-Tuskegee committee hopes to raise the remaining $500,000 by the end of the year in order to complete the five million dollar fund, so as to entitle the schools to George Eastman's two million dollar gift.

TRAIN PORTER'S QUICK THINKING FATAL TO BANDIT
Made An Unwilling Accomplice In Hold-up, But Runs To Front Coaches And Notifies Passengers.
The news dispatches sent out from Omaha, Nebraska, this week and carried in the daily press telling of the killing of the lone train bandit, R. A. Porter, after he alighted from the Union Pacific passenger train following his holding up and robbing its passengers, reveals that it was the presence of mind of the Negro Pullman porter which brought the robber to his fatal end.
The robber, after boarding the train at an out of the way place encountered the porter in the vestibule of the observation car, stated the dispatches. Levelling his gun at the porter he commanded him to accompany him into the car, where the passengers were ordered to stand in the aisle with their hands up while the porter went down the aisle and searched them. The bandit informed the porter that he was the same man who the night before held up and robbed 25 passengers on a Missouri Pacific train as it was entering the yards of Omaha.
In the next car the bandit confronted the brakeman, whom he ordered to search the rest of the passengers. It was then the porter used presence of mind, rushed back to the front of the train and told passengers in those cars what was happening. W.-S. Harris, a private detective, leaped from his seat and tan to the rear coach just as the bandit was about to alight. The bandit opened fire. The detective dodged behind a refrigerator and returned the fire. One shot from his pistol struck the bandit in the leg. Injured. His get-away was checked until Aubrey S. Kenworth, a special officer arrived on the scene and shot him to death.
Quick Efforts Save Boy From Certain Death
Sidney Fisher, Superintendent of the 130 Baxter street, New York City, proved himself some sort of a hero last week, when he saved the life of a little white boy.
boy, according to press reports.
The boy tried to climb over the cornice of a building at No. 140 Baxter street to reach the fire escape. He swung his legs over, slipped, nearly lost his hold and screamed for help. The superintendent, a few doors away, heard the boy's shouts, saw his predicament and rushed to the roof of his own building in a elevator. By running across roofs he was able to reach the boy in time to pull him back to safety. The boy about seven years old disappeared without giving his name.

Mobile, Orangeburg, Fort Worth, Coffeville, Durham Provide Recreational Facilities For Colored People.
ST. LOUIS TO PURCHASE $75,000 TRACT SOON
Municipal authorities of what are regarded as farsighted Southern communities, in cooperation with the Harman Foundation of New York, in some cases, recently have tackled the question of providing recreational centers for colored people and are making headway marked by the establishment of several of such places.
The need for playgrounds for children and especially Negro children is fast becoming realized, recreational Service Committees point out. It has been found that in the larger cities of the country where proper play facilities are given all children, the crime among juveniles is less. The average Negro community in a city provides an environment where there is every influence except one for the best development of a child, it is realized. In many of the homes both parents work and the child is left to find its own amusement, which usually means in the streets.
Durham Open Playground
Durham, N. C., has just opened its first playground for colored children at Hillside Park school with an attendance of over 300 boys and girls. Two more recreational centers are to be opened at graded schools.
Through the Harmon Foundation of New York four cities have been awarded playfields for Negroes: Mobile, Ala.; Coffeyville, Kan.; Orangeburg, S. C.; and Fort Worth, Texas.
The City Council of Columbus Ohio, recently appropriated $75,000 for the purchase of a ten-acre tract of land to be used as a recreational center in a district readily accessible to the mass of the coloree population. The Urban League of that city, cooperating with other organizations systematically presented the needs for such an expenditure to the city officials.
RACE PHYSICIAN BADLY BEATEN BY HOODED GANG
Dr. S. J. B. Collins, of Farmville, N. C., Taken From Automobile, Flogged And Ordered to Leave Town.
Dr. S. J. B. Collins, prominent physician of Farmville, N. C., a British subject, was taken from his automobile while driving along the country road in his home section late in the evening of Sunday last and severely beaten by a hooded gang, according to press reports. The gang stopped the doctor and demanded that he get out of his car which contained his stenographer and another young woman. After severely dealing with the physician the gang ordered him to leave town immediately.
Dr. Collins, in reporting the incident when he reached the city, stated that he was suspended in the air and beaten about the body with sticks. He called in several colored physicians who advised him to consult the Mayor. Mayor Malvin Horton informed the doctor that he would readily issue warrant against anybody whom the doctor felt should be indicted in connection with the attack. Being a subject of Great, Britain, Dr Collins has taken the matter up with the British Consulate. He is a native of Kingston, Jamaica, and has matriculated from London University.
It was not stated in the news dispatches telling of the incident if a vigorous investigation of the flogging had been instituted by the authorities, but it was stated that serious efforts were being made to obtain reliable affidavits of Dr. Collins' conduct since he has been in Farmville.

Harry Brown. Well-Known Young Man Commits Suicide, Following Four Weeks' Absence.
FILLED CREVICES TO
MAKE DEATH SURE
Harry Brown about 35 years old, 1505 Church street, son of Mr. William Otis Brown, and a well-known young man in this city, committed suicide by inhaling gas in his home Thursday afternoon. Mr. Brown left no note indicating why he desired to end his own life, and apparently none of the members of his family know of any reason why he should have wanted to die. He was unmarried and had not the cures of a family, neither is it thought that financial worries could have preyed on his mind in such as he resided with his father, who is owner of considerable real estate. The young man himself possessed a quantity of valuable jewelry, all of which was found on the dresser of the room in which he took his life.
Just Returned To City
Mr. Brown had been out of the city for four weeks, returning Thursday, October 1. On that day at about 1 o'clock he was seen in his home by the housekeeper, according to information given Detective Nowitzky, coroner's investigator. The housekeeper lost sight of him from that time on. Around 5 o'clock gas was smelled in the house. An investigation disclosed the young man in his room with life extinct. He had made sure that death would be certain by cramming clothes into the cracks of the door of his room, according to Detective Nowitzky. A pistol was also found nearby in the room, which evidently he had tried to use to kill himself, but it was defective and wouldn't work. When officers arrived at the house the fire department pulmotor was sent for, and was used on the body until it was certain that he was beyond resuscitation.
Funeral Held Sunday
The young man's funeral was held at the home of his sisters, Mrs. W, L. Davis and Mrs. Maude E. Williams, of Cumberland street, Sunday at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. K. H. Bowling officiated. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. The deceased is survived by his father and two sisters, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Davis.

HOME AND KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS
Department of Education and Inspiration for the Housewife
Edited By-
MARION JANE PARKER, Director,
Home Economics, Calumet Baking
Powder Company, Chicago, Illinois.
With the approach of the cold,
frosty days of Winter, we are all
more or less inclined toward the
piping hot dishes, and especially
soups, fragrant and appetizing,
served as a first course, or possibly
heavier soups to form the main
dish. This, with bread and butter,
hot baking powder biscuits or cornbread, makes an excellent and
nourishing meal for both children
and grown-ups.
Soup, in most instances, is a very economical and wholesome food. An inexpensive and at the same time, a most palatable one may be made from bits of meat and vegetables combined with a stock saved from the preparation of some other food. Where all fresh meat and vegetables must be purchased just for the soup, of course, it is more expensive. This is especially true of the small families where the house-wife is better able to regulate the amount of food to be bought and cooked for each meal, so that there are for left over. In this case it
bulin of the meat. When the soup has been cooked sufficiently, it should be allowed to cool so that the fat will rise to the top and can be taken off. It is then ready to reheat and serve. For invalids, clear broths or concomes and tomato soups are preferred. For the heartier appetite, vegetable, meat and vegetable mixed, ox-tail and chicken soups are delicious.
Ben's Loan Office To Have First Sale In 21 Years of Business
Ben's Loan Office at 631-633 Church street announces in this issue of this newspaper their first sale in 21 years of business. The sale starts Saturday, October 10, and promises to be an unusual event in retail merchandising. For this, the first sale, the concern announces what they term wonderful bargains in all kinds of jewelry, such as diamonds, watches, rings, earrings, chains and silverware, miscellaneous articles and musical instruments. Great bargains in men's new and unredceded suits and overcoats are also announced. The sale will not interfere with the regular loan business of the concern. Benga Loan Office is an old and well-known Church street firm. Hundreds of Norfolk patrons have in times past secured real bargains at the store, and the manager now desires to be known that the most sensational bargains the store has ever offered will feature its first sale. This announcement, it is believed, will be of particular interest to men, who are preparing to lay in their winter wardrobe.
AGRICULTURAL STATIONS STUDING 5,598 PROBLEMS
Many important problems in agriculture are being gradually solved by the experiment stations and the grist of knowledge given to the public. During the year 1924-25 the various State experiment stations were conducting projects dealing with 5,538 different phases of agriculture, an average of 110 projects per station. In some instances projects are finished in one year, but in many cases several years may be required to complete the investigations and make the results applicable in practice.
A classified list of the different projects now being carried on by the stations has been prepared by the Office of Experiment Stations of Agriculture, which shows the wide range of subject matter covered by the experimental work. Projects dealing with field crops lead in number, with a total of 1,817. Of the field crops under study, corn leads with 170 or more projects, wheat follows with 164, potatoes 162, cotton 99, alfalfa 82, oats 81, and soybeans 85.
Horticulture comes second with 952 projects, of which over 400 deal with orchard fruits, the leading fruits being, apples 115 and peaches 45; 135 in small fruits; 275 in vegetables, the leading representative of which is tomatoes 34; 65 ornamentals; and 50 with nuts, the largest of which are pecans 20 and walnuts 13.
The third largest group is animal production with 926 projects, including among others poultry 205, dairy cattle 191, swine 189, sheep and goats 81, beef cattle 77, and horses and mules 12.
In addition to the projects carried on at the State stations, the stations maintained by the department of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands have projects, which increase the total to 5,688.

The 1,000 membership campaign being conducted by the Eureka Lodge No. 5 of Elks went into its third week this week, after marked progress of the two preceding weeks. Present indications point to a successful campaign. The captains and their sides only need to continue to secure applicants at the present rate and the drive will be evinced the top with a bane.
The captains still urge all men, who are fit to fraternalize with Ellis and who have not been solicited to report to the Elks' Home on East Brambleton avenue and secure application blanks. After this campaign has been concluded, it is the opinion of the members of Eureka lodge that it will be a very odd circumstance to meet a man in Norfolk, who is not an EIK. Preparations are already underway among the prominent members of the lodge to carry a banner delegation to Cleveland to the Grand Conclave next year. The men will be fitted out in new and striking uniforms.
Tuesday night, December 1 promises to be the biggest night on local Elkdom. Eurekas will stage a mammoth ball and socialize with the newly initiated members. Phyllis Wheatley Garden will be the scene of the event, and according to the number of tickets ordered from the printer, the affair promises to be the largest attended ball ever held in the city.

Negro Literature
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
The only genuine "Negro literature" will be that which Negroes write. And yet some Negroes with high brows and low mental power are always complaining: "Why don't colored writers quit discussing their own race and do something in general literature?" Who in the mischief ever saw any "general literature?" Literature must be specific, or it's no literature. You must create a literature on something you know something about, and not on something you have heard a little about. Victor
Hugo will write off French and Frenchmen, and Robert Burns of Scotland and Scotland. Hugo would have made a mess of Scotch and Burns would have messed up the French. The first rule in all writing is to write about something you know.
When DuBois writes of the souls of black folk, and Dunbar writes lyrics of lowbrow life, and Jessie Faust writes a story of Philadelphia and New York colored people, they all know what they are writing about. When Woodson writes of Negro history, or when Walter White writes of Georgia life and lynching, they are likely to get read. Some Negroes have the inferiority feeling so deep-seated in their psychology, that they are always trying to "escape." When they go to create "art," they think they have to create something outside of their own life. They seem not to know that American Negro life is just as good a basis for art as any life anywhere in the world.
Our Real Interpreters
They do not know that the only real interpreters of the life of colored Americans must be colored Americans, and that colored American literature, history and art will never be respectable until they do it themselves. They have not even reflected that all white people ever write about is white people, and that when they do write on other subjects, they do so with a perfectly "white consciousness:" that is, if their writing is not about white people, it is for white people.
Here, for example, is Mary B. Mullett writing a long (and
good) article in the "American Magazine" about Roland Hayes, and see what she emphasizes: Hayes' mother is said one to have said to the aspiring boy: "Remember who you are!" This becomes Mary Mullett's cue to the interpretation of the Hayes phenomenon. It is ridiculous. The mother could not have meant that he should not aspire for the best or think himself worthy to attain it; she perhaps used that method (being an unlettered woman) to warn him of the opposition to his aspirations. And anybody can see the naive insults in the following paragraph from Miss Mullett's article:
"Hayes has the typical' features of his race; and yet when he talks, these features become somehow transformed by that spirit which is within him. He has great simplicity, q ait, and gentleness; a sincere, modesty and an exquisite courtesy. Serious and thoughtful, he has none of the irresponsible: gaiety we associate with his p apple."
A Silly Assumption
That paragraph assumes that Negro "features" are inconsistent with all the high qualities mentioned in the paragraph—and in the article; and that Hayes' possession of both these features were "transformed" by illusions into white features.
That's silly. But colored people will never get rid of that, silly stuff as long as they are merely talked about. They're got to tell their own story. And they've got to pay the expenses of the telling. If Mary B. Mulloit had been writing for colored readers, and not merely about colored people, she never would
have written in that manner. In other words, if the readers of the "American," or any considerable portion of them, were known to be colored she would have written to them as well as about them. In short, colored Americans, to make a literature that expresses themselves, will not only have to do the expressing but also to pay the expressage.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 4—Hilldale defeated the City Monarchs in the fourth game of the Colored World's Series here today by a score of 7-3 and both teams leave for Philadelphia tonight with the Easterners leading in the series by three games to one. Nip Winters on the mound for Hilldale struck out tight of the hard hitting Kansas outfield and by the superb support of his mates won from the Monarchs as he did last season. Hilldale went into the lead in the first innning when Warfield beat the George Carr's single. The Monarchs tied the count, in the second and the six thousand fans went wild. With one out Joseph tripled and scored on Hawkins ripped to Warfield, who threw to Mackey who dropped the ball as the Kansas City runner did into the plate.

LINCOLN LIONS SHOWING GOOD IN SCRIMMAGE
Coaching School Opened at Lincoln University. Goodman Named as Athletic Association Head.
BY M. A. WOLFF
Chester, Pa. After nearly two weeks of hard, gruelling practice, the Lincoln Lions give every promise of developing into a fast, sharp, aggressive combination—fairly strong on the defense and rather determined on the offensive. Under the watchful eyes of Coach Yeung the squad is expected to be well rounded out and ready to display its wares to the best advantage. Thanksgiving when the Lions meet the Howard Bisons in Philadelphia.
Several criminages have been held this week in which a system of new plays and defense work proved quite successful. In the initial set, in the first string men had four touchdowns chalked to credit
While no first places have been definitely assigned, as competition is keeper than ever, a forecast can be made of the probabilities, based on performance. Sanders, 219 pounds of beef, bone and muscle, his siz, looks good. Toodle of last year's dog has also been doing good. Look in this position. Carpenter, a strong bulwark of defense on last year's squall will doubtless be elected to hold right guard; Grasty to tackle continues to be a marvel in that position; Henry at left guard, though not in his usual form, is showing up well; Wilson is making a bid for left tackl, but must rocken with Wells of University, Mo.

From his actions, it seems that he be could and then do a fade away. from A to Z and this enabled him use denying the fact that a person signal when he knew them. The he be people only judge. But, if them have lowered the of the fairs.
The football game between the High School and the Royal Athletic Club brought some very unpleasant thing to the surface; some things that tested the loyalty, fidelity and ideals of those who have proved a sad disappointment to may sport followers. There is no need of a great deal of preliminaries before getting down to the issues. Everybody seemed to be surprised when the Rayolos trot trotted out on the field and two very, very familiar faces came seen. They were not undergoing an optical illusion, and in the meantime hoping that such was true, but are the referees' whistle sounded beginning the struggle, those faces proved to belong to those they resembled, namely Lloyd Williams and Russell West, both former students and football players of Booker Washington School. Now, it seems reasonable that every man should have a right to participate in athletics with any club, team or organization he desires. It does not only seem sensible, but it is very true. One thing certain, it was in no other way possible to win the game, but that's not the point at issue. It seems that they codescended a good bit of their loyalty and loss much of the spirit that was instilled in them in school.
Well, some may say, what does it matter who either of these young men play? It doesn't matter as has been inferred in the beginning, but here's the case of each presided in their true lights; West was held in very high esteem by the entire student body as well as his teammates while serving as captain of the school eleven. Such popularity must have been deserved. West graduated from the local school and went to college where he was a member of a college varsity eleven. Even though he was a substitute, he had had the advantages of expert coaching which helps to make good football players; he had a more intense conditioning grind with harder men, which afforded him the opportunity to become harder than most high school football players. It was bad enough for him to play against the fellows who held him in such high esteem as their captain and fellows who are supposed to be far below him in football ability in view of the difference in vantages; but it is worse when he plays against the boys he one lead men who have played any college football at all, so young men who have played any college football at all readily realizes that they have advanced from the ranks of high school football and gone on to a higher type, thus causing them to have pride to the extent of net getting into a class of game that are not on the level with the brand they have played. Rotten stuff West!
Now take the case of Williams; he was out for Booker Washington's eleven and participated in scrimmages in preparation for the game with the Royal A. C. Here is where he exhibited a rank bit of unfairness. After the coach having lost, much valuable time with him, he jumps into another line-up and plays against his former teammates. From his actions, it seems that he was a spy in camp, learning what he could and then do a dade away. He knew every high school play from A to Z and this enabled him to play the signals. There is no sound when he knew that a person was playing against him, but he knew that those fellows might not have meant any harm, but people orly judge from what they see and nothing else but. Not of them have lowered themselves in the estimation of many of the fans.

We have ten if by his habilobio so often that many of us are still inclined to feel doubtful as to whether or not they really will be a championship fight involving "The Gentleman Holo" and "The Brown Panther."

What's to become of that forfeit money that was posted with the New York State Boxing Commission by Jack Kearns, manager of the world's indolent champion and Tex Richards, director of fistie affairs? It was claimed that this money was posted as an assurance that, Kearns could get Dempsey into the ring to fight for him and a part of it was pledged by the latter mentioned party as an assurance that he would promote the car-cuffing thing. Consequently, the money was actually believe that Wills and Dempsey will ougine in a bit of laziness pushing when we shall be sitting at the ringside: thumping someone in the ribs with our elbows, exerting a capturing hold on edge of the municipal's ears.
caily practices is now out, doing good work at left half. Anderson, fullback, is doing considerably better work than last year. Lee "Butta" Brown and Martin halfback, are doing better. The quarterback position which presented a problem to Coach Young early in the season, is being contended for by "Buster" Brown and Hibbler, with Brown slightly in the lead by reason of his experience. He is good judgment, though their work is far from satisfactory to the coaching staff.
To Play Germantown "Y"
Oct. 10
The first "at home" game of the season will be played October 10 when Lincoln University meets the dermantown "Y" team on Rendall Field at Lincoln. Sanders, Callaway, Grusty, Taylor, Henry, Wilson, Lancaster; "Buster Brown and Moors," will undoubtedly be seen in action in this game, in the positions indicated.
**Coaching School Opens**
In many of the smaller schools of the South where some Lincoln men are to be found as teachers, the average male teacher expected to be versed in the theory and practice of athletic sports, and in football in paris, will be a back of this knowledge often leads to embarrassment. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of athletes, there is a death of good coaching skills.
Realizing this peculiar need for men well trained in this field, Lincoln University has designed a coaching course under the direction of Coach Young. It is open to Seniors and Juniors only and two college credits are allowed upon completion of the work prescribed. One hour per week is devoted to lectures on theory and hours to practices ororytory work. The course embraces training in the fundamentals of football, basketball, baseball and track. The following men have been chosen to head the Lincoln University Athletic Association for the current year; President, George Goodnun; vice president, Nathaniel Causey; secretary, M. A.

"The team is not up to the stan-
dard I should like to see it at this

the making of a genuine winning
team."
Hampton will in all probability have one of the strongest teams in the C. I. L. A. A. this year. The Seaside have been carefully drilled, in all departments of play, but Hampton's foe will be as foolishable this year as the Seaside found her last season. Nearly all the old players are back and the new team with Captain Malvin Wheedle, All-C. I. L. A. A. pick for quarterback, as his nucleus. With such a variety of material as the DeCornes report at camp, Seminary should make a fair bid to keep the bacon at home. However, Hampton will spare no pains for his season's debut, and will make every effort to get a victory in her first game.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
JACK JOHNSON REPORTED AS 'DEAD BROKE' AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH FURNITURE MAN
Jim L. Interscope Tucker
Chicago, Ill.—Jack Johnson is
giving the old adage "Never look for trouble until
trouble troubles you" for this he is
paging a price—how much we
don't know, but since he continues
to be a bull in a chinel closet we
pretty easy to look on.
According to the latest reports from Chicago, startling revelations are made by members of his immediate family. One that he is broke and badly bent for all says to the contrary. The former, formerly Mrs. Irving Pineau, who resided in the fashionable Brampton apartments is now doing the dishes, scrubbing the floors and other menial tasks about the Johnson home all because Mrs. Rhodes, Jack's sister refused to be her servant. This started a family-embroginship to caller to repurchase the unpaid furniture, it is alleged that Jack and his wife staged a two round bout that was fact and furious—this was for possession of the furniture and not bucks as is the usual custom. It is said that Mrs. Johnson landed a net apperent and now Jack is picking around a swollen eye — whether there is any discoloration, it is hard to tell.
It is to be recalled that when Jack lost lived in New York and was a factor in the Club De Lance, the Colton Club he had a woman (twelve of course) who passed as Mrs. Johnson, and after Bedley good for a couple of farcies pursued the author, they got behind Jack and conquered him to withdraw as a factor in the club. This mould caused him no end of trouble, and the knowing ones declared that Mrs. Johnson better off with the two coins would leave the exchamp in the first opportunity. She did shortly after that, and with Six Exercises from a letter written by Gus Rhodes, a relative to Jack read. "When you were broke in Spain I used to fight one fight after another and never see a cost and above all remember I am carrying a useless arm today, barely able to earn a living and only by suffering the fact that if I do this (preferring to Mrs. Rhodes) do this (referring from Jack's home) you are going to pay me in full."
"Then again," said Mrs. Rhodes,
"Mrs. Pinah had only one dress,
one pair of shoes and nothing else
much when she came to our home.
Jack has only Longtail her three
dresses since June.
She decided that Longtail made a
dress for Jack at a former
trial at 18th street court and
produced a telephone schedule showing
where she had spent $6,160 on long distance calls. These calls,
she said, were sent to Jack when
he was a patient in a nearby suburban hospital for appendicitis.
ST. PAUL HAS BIG JOB DEFEATING CAROLINA STATE
Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va.
Oct. 5—St. Paul had a big job defending North Carolina State. Normal School 15 to 5 this afternoon. All tough defenders. Tigers had a close call in their initial game of the 1925 football season. Several hundred persons saw the young speedy and determined Tarheels play the Tigers to a standstill forty-five of the sixty minutes consumed in the thrilling and menacing game.
St. Paul played hard and uncoupled all she had, but the spinning maneuvers of the North Carolina State boys almost proved the undoing of the edible "wonder team." St. Paul was forced to a defensive game three-fourths of the time, and she was held scoreless in the first and third periods. Jimmy Hudson's defense in the second act set some of the achievements that field goal by Berrett in the third period from State twenty-six yard line tied the game, produced silence in the St. Paul Camp and put the Tiger rosters in a delirium.
St. Paul opened the last frame with an indomitable will that refused to acknowledge even the possibility of defeat, and with a series of brilliant plays that caught the visitors unawares. The Tigers' navigated an exerting line attack in the fourth period was the death knell to the State players whose fond hopes of victory went to naught whenoblinded circled their hearts for a touchdown. Another stellar spurts in the final minutes of the play resulted in a touchdown by Smith through center. The Carolinians played a marvelous game in every respect, and their performance on ancient Russell Field today surpassed all expectations and was a great football team. While the titlist who entered the framed spectacular football, White Excrete, Royal Woodchuck and N. Parker waded through. Notwithstanding the fact that at the exhibition of the Tigers was

HOWARD DEFEATS MORGAN COLLEGE
Washington, D.C. The Howard "Titans" are not to keep their goal-final clear of all opposing trespassers. Coach Watson's squid of bushies took the field first Saturday, October against Morgan in College of Business, Md. The team was 1-1.
The Howard team seemed capable of smashing the best of its opponent's lines. They were very weak, however, in their defensive against forward press. Morgan compiled only one out of five attempts, thus giving Morgan the edge in theerial attacks. Howard was for suspicion in the running attack as lifespan first showed against five by seven, and two yards. Gains of five by seven, and two yards were the "Bison's" marched down the field to Morgan's goal line, Dan Brown, Dodson, Payne, Tyson, Carter, Warring, Boss and Cole all showed ability in the backfield on the offensive. The line, too, shared in the glory of the gains for the hole was there for the backfield to come through. Smith and Campbell rejoiced their own out of the play. Deck McCann, who has just reported, showed his ability as still being of steeling, a quality. Doke's displayed his usual process in his special line of the truck tracks, and all the help the plays accurately. Salle completed the only forward pass of the "Bison's", Webb, Hull, Simpson and Jefferson all played well.
Captain Long was hurt in the first quarter and consequently was unable to direct his men for the remainder of the game. Coach Law's team also show up quite well. The work of Thomas, Captain and right tackle, together with that of quarterback, was an outstanding feature of Morgan's game.

SIDELIGHTS ON COLORED WORLD SERIES GAMES
BY JOHN HOWE
Those who saw the opening game of the colored world's series in Kansas City on October first have come to think their lucky stays that they were alive and blessed with good eyesight in this modern era of presses.
One of the Western Union telecommunications operators who sat in the stands and flashed the accounts of that contest to various papers through the country, declared at the end of the game that it was the best ball game that he had ever won.
There was just a completeness about the whole affair that challenges description. It moved along from beginning to end like the epic game of a wonderful story rather than the real struggle of more humans in a flesh and blood combat. In the course of that twelve inning fray both teams showed up to a splendid advantage, colorful team spirit, audacity part, great teamwork machines that were brilliantly in team play than they could possibly have done in the undisciplined, every-man-for-himself method of carrying on in baseball.

Moparchs entered the scribes minus the services of their great player, Bullet Rogan, for an Thursday morning at his home loggia while playing with his long-ran raid on his knees. The double broke off in him and an operation was necessary to remove it. His less means more to the team than the mere loss of a star player for the versatile Rogan was man around whom the Moparchs oratorate was built in a large room.
The Kansans however had the old fight in abundant measure, with McNair and Moore leading the attack that made Hilidale's wonder machine work hard to win, while the eternal activity of young Duncan, Momarch entacher and a K.C. boy, kept the home fans cheering constantly.
As for Hilidale, the team looked close to that ideal stage called perfection, their defense working superbly all through the game and their powerful offense getting under way in the late innings with unrival force and power.

Do you know that to get to Kansas City you have to pass through Brazil and Mexico? Well that is just what you have to do, but the Brazil you pass is in Indiana and the Mexico is in Missouri.
The news that Dempsey has signed to fight Wills is being carefully kept from the players of both teams as a sudden shock like that might throw anybody off his game.
Out here they talk about the fine sand that they take from the Kaw river, but if they look for sand and gift in men they may safely turb their attention to Hilldale and the Monarchs.
In the early games of the series last year it was Newt Allen who starred with the willow for the K. C's this year it is Moore and McNair who got off to the early lead.
With Santop, Lewis, Washington and Robinson representing the reserve strength of Hilldale and with Mothel and Regan, Monarch reserves out of the series it looks like the Easterners should romp away to victory the wear and tear of the series begins to work on the individual players.
Stevens, after playing faultlessly on Thursday had a bad day on Friday and has yielded the palm of short stop play to Moore so far this series.

country. 'Last year she was ‘the
only teum that scoved. on Tuske-

Tine this’ year promises’ to: be even

We estimate the average weight. of

it may execed our estimate,” Ac-
cording to the local prognosticators,
if cho doesn’t cross our goal’ line,
there'll be some tough trouble when
we' try to: cross hers.
This week welcomed the arrival
of several men. Dago, the ‘Tiger
fullback stepped in from Savannah
looking: finer than ever. He claims
he tackled automobiles and acro-
planes oll during the, summer to
keep in shape. Big “Red” Cooke
arrived Tuesday with a suitease
full of Sloan's liniment and witch

stop him is the ground, if we let
him tell it, The 185 pound. tackle
from New York got in Wednesday,
and reported for practice that af-
ternoon. He looks like a man-cater
fyom the jungles of Tasmania, and
the fellow’s say he acts like one, too.
Parker, from Talladega, the triple-
threat man, has not reported, and
much to our regret, has decided to
keep Morehouse waiting another
year. “Key West” Irving, the
Tiger captain, is expected -in on
the sixth, and’ without a doubt he
won't disappoint us, because if
“Key West" likes anything better
than playing football, it, must be
playing more football.’ With these

‘the beauty’ of wonder of which
jmoved him to say that he knew
‘of nothing in all Greece to compare
iwith it. It contained 3,000 rooms,
jof which 1,500 were under grourd
and’ 1,500 overground. It was di-
‘vided into courts, each one of which
was sixvounded’ by collonades of
pure white marble. The-whole-edi-
Hfiee was symbolical of the zodiac
‘and the solar system’ and its walls
‘were bright with inlaid gold and
‘shining colors. Only the priests
‘were allowed: to. visit “the cham-
[bets underground, where the réyal

“He succeeded where others. failed

‘This statement by Mr, Slemp is all the

Announcement of the tentative proposal

tivities 10 the agricultural centers proves
very interesting to these of us-who still hold
to tie opinion that the farm is the backbone
of-tie nation, and that for the hest interest
of the country, farm-life should be made as
alluring as practicabla to young America.
The good infiuence ef the ¥. M. C. A. on
the life of the young people: in the urban
centers long has beek proved. It, is interest-
ing to reflect on hoi, such an influence car-
ried te'the young people of the rural scetions,

And in, this connection, the young men

New Wage-Fixing Policy
‘The Philadelphia -Rapid. Transit Com-
pimy proposes, in’ future to base the mini-
mum wages of its employees on the purchss-
ing power of the dollar. A prominent of-
ficial of the company is reported as being the
authority for. the statement that such a pol-
icy of wage fixing will prevent an employee's
wages declining faster than the prices of
the necessities of life anil will cause a rise! in
the workman’s pay in conformity with the
“ise inj prices of the things he must biy.
“Phat sounds good. We submit that such
a system of fixing wages would constitute.a
revolutionary departure from the system ¢m-
hodied in the law of supply and demand
which now controls wage making. But we
helieve that ‘the new policy merits a tial,
ard, should -be adopted. in every industry
where prseticable, Good wages are seldom
a liability upon any coneern, but generally
a first class investment to beth tke employer
ind the’ community, 2
‘There are some sections, particularly in
the South, where wages of colored laborers
bear no ‘izlation whatsoever to the costof
living: Accommunity in which those who
do the dirty work find it impossible to earn
a wage adequate to provide a decent living
for themsélvis And their dependents, cannot
expect to attract or hold efficient and con-
tented workmen, ‘nor make rapid commercial
expansion. . Good wages. make good husinéss.
and good business stimulates municipal
growth. 3

dreds of young people marching
for the King. ‘Thousands of peo-
ple Jined the streets on boti sides

“He refused bread because He was

when we realize God's companion-

“Yea tho T walk thea the valley

pared with 326 teachers in 1924-25. Graduates of the 1923-24 class enrolled in such universities and colleges as Western Reserve, Yale, College of the City of New York, University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, New York University, and, of course, less notable schools.
Leads Other States
An understanding of just how far North Carolina outranks several other Southern states in the matter of Negro education may be gained from the following information: Alabama has not a single accredited four-year public high school; Arkansas; none; Florida; none; Georgia has 9 colored high schools, seven of which are private and two public; Louisiana has three, all public; South Carolina, none; Texas, three, all public; Virginia has 17 high schools for Negroes and of these 9 are private and 8 are public. West Virginia has 9 such schools, all public. In this connection, attention is called to the fact that Arkansas, Alabama and Florida have no regulations for accredited Negro schools.
Appropriations From Public Funds
Appropriations from State funds for aiding small high schools doubled during the period 1922-23 to 1924-25. In the first mentioned period the State appropriated $500 for this purpose and last year $10,300 was expended on these schools. In the State in 1923-24 there were 273,183 colored children of school age. Of this number 247,987 were enrolled in school, 187,671 being counted in the rural schools and 59,416 in the city schools. All of the city children were in long term schools, 8 to 10 months. More than 15,000 of the rural children were in 8 months schools and the remainder in the minimum, 6 months schools. A strong effort is being led by State Superintendent of Education A. T. Allen to secure a minimum term of eight months, saves the bulletin.
In North Carolina there are 40 Jeanes Supervisors in forty-one counties who are working to raise the standard in rural elementary schools, through improvement in classroom instruction, improvement and building of school houses and by holding group center and county commencements. The purpose of the group center commencements is to promote school interest, community spirit and good fellowship.
During the past year the Jeanes
supervisors raised $150 for buildings
$4,852 for health work or a total
of $881,871.93 for all purposes.
Bill's Epistle To The Caucasians
Concerning Certain Hasty Remarks
leaned forward, placed his elbows on the arms of his chair, hunched up his shoulders, and begin counting off the fingers of his left hand with the forefinger of his right. Well, when I saw all these signs of a long drawn out argument, I pushed back my typewriter, took a fresh light, and began to wonder if I could sleep with my eyes open.
"Here's the idea, Mister Scott. Suppose you did write a whole bunch of stuff about what we boys did in France. That wouldn't prove anything. You wouldn't convince anybody that wasn't over there. And we fellows that were over there don't need to be convinced. But if I took something that everybody knows something about, see. Why, then, I could prove something. Ump? I could prove something, then, Umh?" "Why, yes, you could," I replied with a smile.
"Now just suppose you were one of these Caucasians, which, of course I know you're not. But just suppose you were. And you should walk up to me and say, 'Bill, you Colored boys make a hot bunch of soldiers—in a pig's eye.' I'd come back at you like this."
Now Bill arose and struck what was nothing; if not a dramatic attitude and delivered himself of the followinig epistle.
1. Dear Caucasians:
2. If it's just as much of a pain to me as it is to you for me to have to get you put like this, but
3. YOU'VE DONE ME WRONG.
4. A pair of days or so ago I was reading in a magazine, some cracks a woman writer was making about a university in the West. There had been a vote taken among the coeds to find out what qualities they most admired in men. And these are the qualities that non out:
5. Moderately good looking, athletically inclined, morally clean, respectful toward religion, healthy, appreciative of the good and beautiful, well-trained socially, chivalrous, optimistic, good-natured.
6. There they are. If you didn't get the drift, that's your bad luck. I'm not coming again.
7. Now I thought that was about all a man ought to be; but the writer thought otherwise. She contended that those qualities would make a good companion; but that a REAL man must have:
8. Patience, courage, industry, sound judgment, love of children, capacity for self-sacrifice.
9. Then she went on to say what she though of women that would choose the first list and neglect the second.
URDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1925
School journalism in North Car-
lina high schools is engaging the
position of Superintendent W. A.
Bison of high schools of the
city who is pushing it as much
sible to insure a healthy and
growth. Mr. Robinson
meet that he considers school
milestone one of the most impor-
tant extra curricular activities of
high schools. For this year he
has trophies for the best
of school newspapers For the
1925 and for the best-Annual
1925. In this connection, upon
Robinson's suggestion, the Nor-
rion Journal and Guide will give
a for the best editorial writen
student in the 1925 session.
Among the interesting figures
affects on education in North
Carlina disclosed in a bulletin
written by Mr. Robinson and Miss
W. Holland, Supervisor of
national Schools is the fact that
were in the past session 13
high school newspapers
annals published.
bulletin also shows that for form 1923-24 there were 5,037 school teachers in North Dana. That these teachers ambitions to improve them was evidenced by the fact during the summer of 1924, or 84.5 per cent of them were or in summer schools. The rate of these teachers holding and certificates was 2,679 or per cent, while 2,358 or 46.18 teachers held non-standard certifi-
High Schools Increase
increase in Negro high schools in State for the six-year period, 1925 has been notable. In there were 11 colored four-high schools in North Carolina. In 1924-25 this number has increased to 43, a total increase in six years or an average increase of more than five per year. schools having at least one full-high school teacher and at 20 children above the elementary school there were 86 in 1924, the 43 accredited high schools, are private and 20 are public, figures also indicate a rapid in public high schools, for in when the total number was only 4 of these were public. In public high schools in 1924-25 were 180 teachers, 4,096 students and 564 graduates. In the public high schools for the same period 146 teachers, 2,734 students and 446 graduates. These figures that in the State there were 80 high school graduates in 1925. This represents an appitable increase over the year, for in the year 1923-24 were 740 Negro high school students; 293 teachers as com-

carefully adjusted his tie.
BATH WATER ON, STEAMING HOT.
11. And I guess she's right at that. I'm not willing to own up to the lack of a single quality in her list. While as to the other list: well
12. I've never everheard anyone calling me even MODERATELY good looking. I'm NOT athletically inolined. My social training's not 40. And that's THAT.
13. If we should take any two men, or races of men, and measure them both according to this second list, why, we ought to find out how they compare as men. Oughtn't we?
14. Now don't be a sap. Of course we ought.
15. Suppose, now, that we take all the progress that the white and colored races have made in this country in the three hundred years between 1620 and 1920, and suppose we compress it all into a single lifetime. We're assuming that a single generation of men have in fifty years made the advance that has occurred from about the time the first Negroes arrived in America until just the other day. Then each year in the life of our generation would correspond to six years in the life of the two races here.
16. Get the idea? No? well,
we'll go over it again, then____
There now, Do you know what it's all about? Oh, that's all right. I'm dumb like that myself sometimes.
17. Now I'll say this sort of casual like. With but fifty years to live, the colored part of our generation SPENDS THE FIRST FORTY YEARS IN SLAVERY. In other words, they have just TEN years to cover the ground that their white brothers cover in FIFTY.
18. How do you like that for a handicap? Don't you LOVE it.
19. Oh, I forgot. Eleven per cent of them gain their freedom during this time. Eleven per cent have a chance to learn something, to accumulate property. All of eleven per cent have a chance to try being men. Eleven per cent isn't much.
21. But it beats a blank.
22. In the next five years the colored folks reduce their illiteracy to 57.1 per cent. In the whole forty-five years that have now passed the white folks have got their illiteracy down to 6.2 per cent.
22. Now wipe off your slate and we'll do some figuring. 42.9 per cent is to 93.8 per cent as 5 years are to 45 years. Just to speed things up I'll give you the answer:
23. The colored folks reduce their illiteracy about four times as fast as the white folks do. But don't take my word for it. Dope it out for yourself.
24. Now some Nordic (more or less) will hop up and yelp. "But they learn everything from us." Maybe. But just run your optics over this:
25. You Caucasians had been educating yourselves for centuries when you came here. While the Negroes, as far as education goes, were an absolute zero. Does that even things up?
26. IT DON'T MISS IT.
27. And anyhow, where do you get that stuff about the Negro's learning everything from ALL the Nordics? It's a comparatively few men that are always in advance of the rest, and the many learn from the few. Does it make you any smarter to learn from one of your own race than from one of another, just so long as you LEARN.
28. IT DOES NOT.
29. In the next four years the Negroes of our generation do a little more than slice their percentage of illiteracy in half. The Caucasians do the same. Still, a half of 57.1 per cent is a bigger slice than a half of 6.2 any may you look at it.
30. Now our generation of men is forty—nine years old. Certainly old enough to marry. Well, about their family life, then? 31. First, we find that there are just as many families among the colored as among the white members of the generation. And then, we learn the surprising fact that the average number of children per family for both groups is 4.9. And so, after all, Negroes do not have gangs of kids more than do Caucasians, popular jokes to the contrary notwithstanding. 32. But there's one thing about that number, 4.9, that I can't quite make out. It's that nine-tenths of the fifth kid. Still, I suppose a blacked member is apt to bob up in the best of families. In fact, now that I've thought it over. I concede that nine-tenths is quite a general allowance. I've run across members of perfectly good families with a darn sight more than a tenth part missing.
33. AND I DON'T MEAN MAYBE.
34. Now ever, since I was knee-high to a grasshopper I've been hearing that Negroes are indolent. Not lazy, just INDOLENT. The difference is that you're not supposed to get so mad when they call you indolent as when they call you LAZY. And here I come to find out that a little less than fifty per cent of Negroes are engaged in gainful occupations as against a little more than forty-four per cent of the Caucasians.
35. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT.
36. And what's more, 38.9 per cent of colored women are wage earners to 21.1 per cent of the white.
37. Now, of course, some one could say that's because we have to. But that having to stuff doesn't make the shift any easier to bring. Now, does it?
38. TELL THE TRUTH.
39. Now our generation is well into the fifteenth, and last, year, and they'd better be thinking about passing out of the picture. How have they gone about preparing for the hereafter? Well, if it means anything to you there are about forty-six per cent of the Caucasians, belong to the leading denominations as against fifty per cent of the Negroes in the same class.

Rev. M. C. Allen Installed As Pastor Of First Baptist
Franklin, Va.—Rev. M. C. Allen pastor of the First Baptist Church of Franklin, Va., was installed on Sunday, October 4th. The installation services began Monday night, September 28th, and lasted thru Sunday. Sermon were delivered by Revs. J. G. StClair Drake, D. D. pastor of St Luke A. M. E. Zion Church, Franklin; T. J. Johnson, D. D., pastor of Pine Street Baptist Church, Suffolk; A. A. Galvin, pastor of First Baptist Church, of Newport News; O. E. Jones, D. D. pastor of Mt. Aarart Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Prof. W. B. Holland was master of ceremonies.
The sermons were very practical and filled with inspiration and aspiration for the church and all the friends who were fortunate to hear them. The installation sermon was preached by Rev. W. C. Brown, D. D., of Pittsburgh. It was said by ministers and those who had witnessed many similar occasions that it was the most impressive service of its kind that they had ever witnessed. Dr. Brown, who has been
a life-long friend of the pastor,
said that the character the church
has called to its pastorate was as
determined as death, fearless as
the greatest warrior, loveable,
visionary as a prophet and a born
race leader; and that his wife, Mrs.
Wilhelmina Allen, is a good pastor
wife. She is a woman of
stern qualities, friendly and ap-
proachable, sympathetic, fursighted, received and resourceful. He used for a text Acts 14: 2, subject: "Make a Circle". 1: Circle of Prayer; 2. Kindness; 3. Truth: 4. Love; 5. Sympathy. Dr. A. A. Galvin, chairman of the trustee board of V. T. and C., offered prayer and escorted the pastor to the pulpit while the choir sang, "A Charge to Keep I Have." When the pastor, Rev. M. C. Allen, ascended the rostrum, Mrs. Mabel Hardy, in well-chosen words, presented a beautiful hat from the Aid Society. T h e pastor made one statement "Brethren, I am determined not to know anything among you save Jesus and Him Crucified."

I been told that colored folks are fanatics on religion. Well, if a four per cent increase in church attendance is all it itakes to make a fanatic, then we'll all on the verge of going nutty.
41. Yes, sir. statistics are sure hard on popular delusions. In fact I never have seen a single P. D. yet that could stay in the ring three rounds with n good, fast, statistic.
42. And now that our generation has passed on, it seems to me that the Negroes in it have at LEAST measured up to the Caucasians in seeking after knowledge, bettering one's economic condition, providing for a family, and caring for one's spiritual life. And what does this mean? Why, it means nothing at all, if not that they have their due share of:
43. PATIENCE,—COURAGE E,—INDUSTRY,—SOUND JUDGMENT,—LOVE OF CHILDREN,—CAPACITY FOR SELF-SACRIFICE.
44. And if they are ace-high in the qualities that make REAL men (as listed by a CAUCASIAN writer), do you mean to tell me that they would run out of any old war, or sneak off anybody's battlefield?
45. SAY, don't make me Laugh. And with this sage remark Bill swaggered out, having expressed exactly what I was thinking of. a lot more vividly than I was thinking of expressing it.

EVERY EFFORT IS PROMISED TO PUNISH LYNCHERS
Georgia Officials Investigating Recent Crime—Interracial Head Voices Popular Indication.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 7—Every effort will be made to apprehend and bring to justice the persons who last Sunday lynched Willie Dixon, patient at the State Sanitarium for the Insane at Millegadeville, according to a telegram received Tuesday by the Georgia Committee on Interracial Co-operation from John T. Brantley, the president of the Sanitarium's board of trustees. A thorough investigation is under way, said Mr. Brantley, all the facts will be laid before the grand jury, and everything possible will be done "to bring the perpetrators of this horrible deed to justice." The State has offered a reward of $500 for arrest and conviction of the leader of the mob, and $100 for each of its members. Dixon, a victim of violent insanity, last week slain one of the women nurses at the sanitarium.
Bishop F. F. Reese, of Savannah, Chairman of the State Interracial Committee, in a vigorous statement to the press, branding the act of the mob as "an outrage upon justice and upon the dignity of the State," calls upon the authorities for prompt action upon the press and citizens for public expressions of their "indignation and sense ofrage." The Bishop's statement includes:
As chairman of the State Committee on Interracial Cooperation, for myself and my associates I desire to express most earnestly our utter abhorrence of this crime, and hopefully to call upon our governor and other State authorities to offer promptly as large rewards as possible for the arrest and conviction of those connected with this lynching and all other outbursts of mob violence. It is express of the State and individual citizens will promptly and publicly express their indignation and sense of outrage. It is only by honoring in season and out of season to create a determined public opinion in this way that our weaker and vicious fellow citizens can be made to understand that they are encouraging the public confidence and condemning by all good and loving men and women."

REV. DANCE SAYS EVOLUTION STRIKES WITHOUT ANY AVAIL
“Scholars have been diving into the sea of evolution more deeply for the last six months but have failed to bring to the surface one point sufficient to substantiate the doctrine that man is a monkey descendant,” said Dr. B. W. Dance last Sunday morning at the Third Baptist church. He was using as a text Gen. 1:11 and emphasizing the words, “after his kind.”
“Man is both a human and divine being. As a believer in Christ he is more spiritual than human, he is a new creature. All things are passed away and now the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. As an unbeliever he is more humorous than spiritual, he has more faith in things seen than in things not seen and hence comes the great exponents of the theory of evolution,” declared the speaker.
"It is a law of nature to believe in the teachings and traditions of the fathers, many of which are erroneous, but when men become more spiritually minded they will believe more in the Bible, the word of God than in science, the word of man.
"Charles Darwin with all of his pigeon, muskrat, hawk, sparrow, and many other illustrations failed to prove the impossible, that is, the evolution of man. He scended from man, Adam was either from man himself, and the man race began with him or chronology failed to begin at the beginning or proper time and leaves an unrecorded space of creation reaching from the creation of monkey up to the time of Adam.
Evolutionists should tell the reading world whether or not Adam was the monkey and if he not, they should give an account of the undated space of time from the creation of monkey to the birth of Adam if he descended from a monkey. They should also be able to make the proper connections and link up the generations of mankind in order throughout the undated time just as the generations can be traced from Adam to Noah; from Noah to Adam; from Abraham to David; from David to Babylon; from Babylon to Christ; and if Adam was the monkey's first born leaving no inference for previous generations then that should be cleared up" said Dr. Dance.
"The dust of the earth from which all living creatures are made engenders a relationship between them all. But I don't believe that all animals evolved from one single protoplasmic cell. I believe that each race of creatures had separate and distinct ancestors according to the teachings of God's word.
"If man descended from a monkey, God must have meant monkey when he said, 'Let us make man,' and we would have to substitute the word man with the word monkey and let it read, 'Let us make monkey in our image.' A descentant is not a man at the time of his birth or creation, but a born offspring. Adam was created a full grown man because he was without ancestors. Jesus Christ was born a child, a descentant because he had ancestors. The evolution of man destroys the virgin birth of Jesus and the monkey flesh for the creation of the Son of God. The doctrine that man evolved from monkey either codifies the monkey with a soul or infuses the psyche of man.
"Lamarck, Darwin, Wallace, Weisman and all the doctrine of science will never-harm the man who believes in the teachings of the Bible. Evolution is like a serpent without fangs, strikes without avail. The Bible is enough for me." The pastor will preach next Sunday morning from the theme "Bobbed hair and short skirts."

The Beautiful Temple of El Jerra
Arabia Petraca is the name given to that part of the prairie of Arabia that lies between the two gulfs of the Red Sea. Here were the mountains of Skaiai and Horeb from whence amidst the thunders Israel is said to have received her laws. Here, too, dwelt the Midianites, one of several black tribes, to whom Moses fled from Egypt and resided forty years, keeping the flocks of his black father-in-law, Jethro.
It is no wonder then that travelers who would visit the Holy Land come in great numbers to Petra and there wander among the scenes that hold such memories. But the wonder of all the wonders is the beautiful rock hewn Temple of Petra, reserved not to any diety of the Bible but to Isis, the mythical black goddess of old Egypt.
The Arabs call it Rl-Khazniz (the treasury) from a legend that treasures were hid in the arm dinly seen at the top of the facade. This beautiful temple stands in the opening of the narrow gorge between the desert and the rock hills of Petra. It is sculptured entirely from the living rock, not one piece of stone being added to that which nature left there. It measures 65 feet from the ground and even in its ruins stands out as one of the most beautiful temples of antiquity. It is as classic as the temples of Greece, but the Greeks never carved a temple out of a hill. That is why travelers want to see Rl-Khazniz and why they never forget it.
On a cloudless day red ants have been seen to come out of their nests carrying their eggs, and migrate to higher ground. Porphyri-eight later rain flooded the old nests, but the wise ants with their ability to forecast the weather were safe.

PROBATION OFFICER'S REPORT
Suffolk has one probation officer, Rev. Mrs. Harriett A. Jordan. The Ministers' Union promised to support her to the extent of either $30 or $60 per month. Each of our churches promised to give her an offering monthly. Only one of these good churches has complied with their faithful promises, so far as we have heard. Mrs. Jordan writes: "I am delighted with my boys and girls, not because they have to be looked after by a probation office, but because I am one of the faithful servants appointed to serve for them. It if were for money, no one could hire me for the work. It is for the children who come or are sent to me. I have had six cases that I found that I well disposed of without taking them to court. I think the best of all is, my faith in the Christ.
"I have had four boys and five girls paroled to me during the last quarter; 34 visited; two girls to the State school; one to the State hospital, and one to the county to her people. Received from First Baptist Church. $9.80; from the Mass Meeting. $1.15; Pine Street Baptist, $4.13; A. M. E. Church, $5; Little Bethel Church, $2.25; Antioch Christian Church, $2.50. In July, $12.50; August, $8.63; September, $9.30; total $30.43.
Many thanks for those who are trying to make it possible for the work to go on, and make it permanently established. The mass meeting and the Sewing Club are doing much towards our success Thanks to all - Probation Officer.

Bloodhound Proves Faulty
Bloodhound Proves Faulty
Bloodhound evidence, which several States with progressive sleuthing systems and criminal codes have long ago outlawed, again showed its unreliability when two young men, Claude Worley, 21, of Cloverdale, and Melvin Miller, 22, of Bottecourt county, Va., confessed to the slaying of Miss Mary Dixon, 16, on the night of September 7. For the crime two other young men, Frank Mauk and Claude Arthur, had been indicted and were awaiting trial for murder, when the alleged confessions of Worley and Miller were made. The indicted young men were trailed by bloodhounds. All of the parties are white people.
Miss Dixon in company with her cousin and two young men of Roanoke, Va., was riding in an automobile on Hollins road on the night of September 7, when two young men are alleged to have flashed a light into car and a moment later the car and a monument later fired through the rear curtain striking her in the head. She died a few hours later. Mauk and Arthur were run down by bloodhounds that night and had since been held in jail at Fincastle, Va. It is recalled that on occasions without number colored persons have been run down by bloodhounds in Southern communities and sent to their deaths on the evidence.

WORKMEN LOSE LIVES IN C. & O. TUNNEL CAVE-IN
Richmond, Va.—The greatest castrophe occurring here in many seasons happened Friday afternoon when the old C. and O. tunnel, in which a large gang of engineers and laborers were working, caved in catching any number of the workmen in the landslide and buried them alive in the tunnel.
The tunnel which was built several years ago, had not been used for the regular passage of trains for a very long time. Running along the entire East End, beginning at 19th street, it was more than a mile long and was at one time the main line of the C. and O. Railroad. The worst of the landslide happened directly under Jefferson Park, where ordinarily many children play on the beautiful hillside of a well kept lawn.
Many conflicting estimates of the men buried under the earth have been made. While there is still a number of men missing, it cannot be said definitely how many lost their lives until the tunnel h a s been cleared. The railroad officials say their records account for all of the men except two.
Many of the residents living within the vicinity of the tunnel are fearful lest their be another cave-in. There are great yawning cracks farther up the park and to the east of the spot where the collamity occurred, some of them 4 to 5 feet wide and a hundred feet long.
Prof. Daniel Returns From Europe, Gives Interesting Lecture
Richmond, Va.---Prof. Robert P. Daniel, who has just returned from Europe where he has been traveling for several months as a representative of the Y. M. C. A. to the Youth Movement for world peace, delivered a splendid lecture at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sunday night. Mr. Daniel gave an interesting outline of his travels through the nine different countries in which the commission with which he traveled had business. He was one of the two colored commissioned to take the trip with several white students.
Mr. Daniel said he attended all of the conferences, which were many and close together, but was not discriminated against in a single instance. He is a member of the faculty of Union University, and the regular services were dispensed with by the pastor, Rev. Stokes, so that the congregation might hear the lecture.
Workmen Uncover Hidden Dungeon
Richmond, Va.----Hundreds of people whose curiosity had been aroused by the report that an underground prison had been unearthy by excavators, who were cutting out a foundation in the rear of the old Hennco county jail preparatory to adding on to the tobacco factory next door, have crowded the space in the rear of the prison to see the sights that have been dug up.
Great stone walls forming cells with giant iron gratings and bars built into them have been uncovered. Handcuffs and ankle chains and many relies of an old time jail have been taken from this hidden prison. There seems to be no way of knowing just how old is this hidden dungeon. Old records have been searched but nothing has been traced as yet. Some people are of the belief that it is a part of a hidden dungeon used in connection with the Henrico jail, because it is several feet below the surface of the jail, and just in the rear of it. Others believe that it dates back further than the Henrico jail, which is itself about two hundred years old.

ORPHAN HOME RAZED
Rice Memorial Home / for Colored Orphans at Highland Park, N.J., was razed by fire shortly before 10 o'clock Friday night October 3, when a 13-year-old boy upset an oil stove and the woodwork caught fire. The boy was bathing in the bath room when he upset the stove. He tried to extinguished the blaze, failing this, he went to bed without notifying the nurses. Later roused by the cracking flames gnawing at the frame structure, the nurses led the youngsters to safety.

Rev. Scott C. Burrell Critically Injured By Automobile
Richmond, Va.-Rec. Scott C. Burrell, who has been secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for thirty years, was knocked down, run over and critically injured by an automobile at the corner of Second and Leigh streets, Friday night, about 8:30 o'clock. He was rushed to the Richmond Hospital, where his injuries are reported as precarious.
Eyewitnesses to the accident said that both wheels of the car passed over Mr. Burrell's body and that when someone yelled, the driver became excited and backed the machine over the body again. The victim's jaw bone was broken and the bone protruded through the skin. His shoulder bone was broken and that splintered through the skin and out through his clothing; one of his eyes was said to have been knocked nearly out. Bystanders picked up the injured man who was bleeding profusely, but still conscious. He was said to have remarked: "I know this is my finish." Dr. George White, who had been summoned to render first aid, rushed him off to the hospital; where it is said everything known to medical science is being done to save his life.

cals and pioneers, who are willing to

We can undersiand why large numbers
of the mass should become discouraged and

it is of “a flight northward, where the out-

these failures, who prove they are not strong
enough to conquer in the places where they
were barn and reared in the same way that
we vespect the Rurepean “dowa and out”
who secks asylum in Uhe United States from
the hardships he was not strong enouth to

our respect resolves itself into a form of
sympathy, which is not far removed from
pity. The line dividing pity. from contempt
is very thin,

“A Study In News Values”
Hisenssings the point raised by this pa-
per that newspapers of the opposite race
almost invariably stress Negra erime and
suppress Negro achiovernonts the Virginian
Pilot says: “Shure is a factor at work in the
present disparity Uhat has not diveetly. to
do with the question of racial identity. It
is the civeumstanee that in the South colored
readers form a very small proportion of a
newspaper's cireulation.” 1 is pointed out
that crime news holds an interest for every
one without regard in race, which ives
Negro evimes preference over Nexro achieves
ment for white readers.
As to the relative proportion of Negra
veaders it may be said that Negroes are
growing rapidly in race consciousness and
the very fact that most of what they read in
many of the papers is uncomplimentary. to
them acts ax an inhibition to their reading
of that ehtss of papers, 1 also accounts,
perhaps, for the rapid growth of circulation
among Negro papers during the past few
years. IL is not generally known that one
Negro paper, published in Chicago, has a
Civeulation exceeding 150,000 copies exch
issue, AL the present rate of growth there
will be several in that class within the néxt
few years,
As to the news value of crimes of the
general run attributed (o Negroes it is true
in many instances Unt when the crime is
dissociated from race it loses ils importance.
Such was true of the celebrated Kane murder
that occurred in Brooklyn last Summer and
the more recent atrocious Daly case in New
Jersey, both of which were highly sensation-
al front page features in the larger metro-
politan pupers until it was proved beyond
a doubt that the murderers were not Ne-
groes. Ordinarily: when the perpetrator of
acerime is not a Negro it has little sustained
nows value, unless it has a sex appeal, as
was true of the Leopold and Leob case in
Chieago and London's bamboozled Indian
Prinee, referred to by the Virginian-Pilot.
Omit the word Negro and the story loses tts
magic.
In the final analysis the whole question
turns upon the degree to whieh the Negro is
un economie’ asset—to newspapers as read-
ers and to advertisers as buyers, There are
twelve million Negroes in the United States.
Illiteracy among them is now the exception
rather than the rule, especially in the urban
centers. ‘They ‘eat, wear, clothes, use fuel
to keep themselves warm and for other nec-
essary purposes. Many of them have cul-
ture and aesthetic tastes and some.of them
have wealth and require many of the so-
called luxuries as well as the necessities of
life, -It is the opinion of most thoughtful
Negroes that their potential buying power is
cither overlooked or discounted, for various
reasons, most of which have no basis in or-
dinary justice or in economic laws.
In the observations of the Virginian-li-
ut, there is one very hopeful note, that in
any careful examination of the problem “the
devolopment will unquestionably be in the
direction of less exploitation of Negra crime
and greater publicity to Negro achievement.”
Already a tendeney in that direction has
been noted, not only in our Norfolk papers,
Dut in many uf the Luger papers Uhroushout
the South.

Mr. Samuel M. Vauclain, president of the

that ke accumulated money because he was
too busy to spend what he earned. “If you

“A Study In News Values”
Kean Virginian-ilot,
‘The Nowork Journal, AND Guine's edi-
torial page was in a recent national compe-
tition voted the best among American Ne-
gro newspapers. So far ais our limited obsers
vation of Negro papers goes this encomium
is deserved, The Norfolk paper is edited with
intelligence, discrimination and fine restraint.
These are qualities that entitle it to a hear-
ing when it discusses problems arising from
this-eountry's racial duality. Why, it asks,
that the same white newspaper that dis-
missed with a few lines and a small cap-
tion the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson, one
of the most eminent political leaders of the
colored race, gave liberal space and a bold
black head to the news of the arrest of a
“colored alleged burglar.” Here, it eon
cludes, is “another phase of Scuthern psy
chology which Negroes do not comprehend.”
‘The problem here presented is an old one
and we do not pretend to have the complete
answer to il, nor would we risk, predicting:
its future. ‘The depelopment will unques-
lionably be in the direction of less exploita-
tion of Negro crime and greater publicity
for Negro achievement. It is not entirely &
question of rave. There is a factor at work
in the present disparity that has not direct-
Jy to do with the question of racial identity.
It is the circumstance that in the South col-
ored readers form a very small proportion
of a ‘newspaper's total circulation, Since
the general rule holds that a story is worth
for the newspapers what it is worth for its
readers, it is to be expected that the obitu-
aries ‘of Negro politicians, eminent and
worthy though they may have been, will
not be gone into at length for a body of read-
ers for whom he holds only casual interest.
Crime, of course, has a direet human appeal,
regardless of color, nativity or origin.
Witness the heavy exploitation in America
of the Paris “bluebeard” and Londoo's bam
boozled Indian prince. One way to help re-
dress the balance between unpleasant Negro
publicity and the other kinds of Negra pub-
licity, is for Negroes to become newspaper
readers. Let the Negroes of at community
begin to figure in force as a body of adver-
tisement and news readers, and economic
law will see to it that the newspapers will
not unduly slight the legitimate mews in
which they are interested. _

Guy B. Johnson, a white
Southerner with au inquiring
turn of mind, has stumbled upon
2 carious aiamoly in the self
feeling of Nogrogs, He asks, in
the Journal af Social Barcess
“Have hair straighteners and
skin lighteners become perma-
nent features of the Negra cule
Lire?” There is nothing: imper-
tinent about this question, for it
is supported by a most. interesi-
ing assortment of information.
He took five representative news-
papers: The Chiengo Defender,
‘The Negro World, Tur Nonvouk
Journal. Axo Guus, The Atlante
Independent, and The Honston
(Texas) Informer, and studied
their advertising on the theory
that advertisers will not continue
to spend money to exhibit their
wares without. some commensur~
ate profit. Of these advertise-
ments he made three divisions:
Class \, which included adyer-
Lisements of clothing, food, fuel,
houses and real estate, medical
ind professional serviews, inst
ance and savings —necessities;
Chass B, which included books,
magazines, newspapers, music
and musical instruments, thet-
tres. amusements: and collegesy—
the cultural things; amd Class
(, which included beauty prep-
arations, patent medicines, cheap
jewelry, firearms, good luck em
dems, clairvoyanice,—rather cle-
mental desires. ‘The preponder-
derant majority of the advertise:
ments of this class ave of the
skin and hair adjusters referred
to above. And here is the re-

An interpretation of these, tix-
