Seminary and College Officials Claim Opponents Aimed to "Get" Whedbee, And Got Him. An aftermath of the game Saturday; the 17th inst., between Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, and Virginia Seminary and College, played at Greensboro, is the placing of sensational charges of "brutality against the North Carolina College squad by officials of Virginia Seminary. That members of the A. and T squad planned, in advance to cripple Wheabee, the Virginians' star quarterback, and eliminate him from the game is charged in the following statement given the Journal and Guide by officials of Virginia, Seminary and College: "The purpose of this comment is to give to the reading public some facts about some things "put over" in college football in the name of "sportsmanship" and "college athletics." Saturday, October 17th, at Greensboro, paving at college athletics, brutality unmasked itself. Friday evening the team of Virginia Theological Seminary and College journeyed to Greensboro. During the evening there, some of the Seminary squad overheard a group of A. and T. students saying that at the game they were going to dispense with Wied bee, the all-America quarterback. This was reported to Coach Hurt of Seminary. He attempted to scout the idea, but that there was something to it is not only borne in what they did but what was said during and after the game. A. and T. men who understood what was to be done asked either A. and T. men if it was proper to do such a thing and the reply was, "That if necessary to put him out to get the game, then it was right to do it." The same discussion went on after the game. During the game the A. and T. team said on the field, "We have the All-America quarterback." "Saturday, " I o'clock came. In two minutes after the referee's whistle opened the game, the act had men accomplished. A. and T. received the kick. In her vain attempt to advance it in three efforts, during the third attempt Whedbee was tackled by about four men and while down, Lanc an A. and T. player kicked him. Lanc, who was directly responsible for the injuries of Johnson at Howard, was selected to take out Whedbee. No one knew not even Whedbee, that he was so dazed from the blow. But when A. and T. kicked on the fourth down, Whedbee attempted to receive it, but did not show form. The ball was fumbled and A. and T. recovered. A. and T. attempted to rush the ball again and lost it on downs. When Whedbee called signals it was discovered that his mind was blank, he was completely dazed. A. kick was blocked and Whedbee staggered falling to the ground by the ball. An A. and T. man picked up the ball from the side of the man they had willfully and maliciously injured to make the only touchdown of the game. Whedbee was taken off of the field and discovered to be in a comatose condition and remained so not only for the rest of the game but almost the entire night. This was done in the first five minutes of the game, the remaining fifty-five minutes A. and T. could do nothing. For two quarters she did not make first down. She may glory in this so called "victory" but she is entitled to all the "glory" there is in it. Her record of this character merits it. At highwaymen who shuts the passers-by and takes his possessions is entitled to the same kind of glory. "The unfortunate part, harring the danger to life and person is that in College Athletics, this questionable practice is allowed to go on. Football is rough, enough when played by gentlemen, but when brutality is evidenced, then it is beastly. "There are some facts submitted by men at A. and T. in connecction with this occurrence that will bear investigation." CHRISTIANSBURG BEATSLINCOLN HIGH, SCORE 62-0 Cambria, Va.—The game was fought, October 17, on a muddy, slick field. But skill and pluck was shown by the Lynchburg boys under the generalship of Captain Lee. But the quick putting off and the plucky spirit handled to the Quick Eleven throughout the game by Captain Wyatt proved too much for Lynchburg. "The game was one of the clearest games, fought on Christiansburg Grounds," says Coach Baylor, of Christiansburg. The first Spanish prima donna in the United States, Malibran, had a good-for-nothing husband. Union And Hampton Voted To Come Through Over Their Conference Opponents, While Shaw And A. & T. Were Given Advantage. BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The pigskin industry is well underway now and the season is fast approaching the intermediary point and for that reason, more tips, hunches and forecasts are in order for the next frays to be enacted on the gridirons of the various colleges and schools. All squads of he C. I. A. A. are being watched with concentrated scrutiny as the teams begin to strike their strides for the remainder of the campaign. Enough games have been played now to enable fans and followers to get the lowdown on their favorite elevens and know their strength. Of course, it will be found that a number of the teams have not struck their strides as yet, because of the fact that some coaches do not seek to attain midseason form until late in the season. This gives their squads the opportunity to make a fast wind up. No team can hope to maintain that keen edges of midseason form at an early date and continue to romp on through the season at the same fast clip. UNION-ST. PAUL—Richmond, October 24. Here is where the former "wonder team" is slated for another walloping at the hands of the Red and Steele machine of the Panthers. Unless St. Paul can come back with a great deal of strength after receiving a severe drubbing from Hampton last week, nothing short of a miracle can prevent Union from running away. It is not expected that St. Paul will yield as many points to Union as she did to Hampton, but just the same the score will figure in double numbers with Union having all of them. HAMPTON-PETERS BURG— Hampton, October 24. This will be a hard contest game with both teams running about even and if there is any advantage, it might fall to Hampton, in fact Hampton ought to come through with something like one touchdown. Hampton's conservative style of play will stand, in good to hold the Hilloppers in check until a break. With C. P. Johnson, Baker, Vosbough and Jacebs, Hampton has enough to show across a tally. A. & T. COLLEGE—NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE—Greensboro, October 24. The Aggies ought to be stronger than any of the North Carolina clevers that are not in the C. I. A. A. and will not have much trouble with N. C. College. This game will give A. and T. a good workout in preparation for her tussle with Morehousen on October 30. VA. SEMINARY-LIVING STONE-Lynchburg. October 24. The Deacons are in for a tough scramble unless the Livingstone faction has ceased to produce good squads. Livingstone has been able to take care of herself against most of the schools and she can be on to case over on a number of them. Seminary ought to entertain the N. C. team in a manner befitting a football eleven and she plays the game, ought to be able to register enough points to win. This will not be a onesided affair and both teams will have to uncork some real stuff to win. SHAW—On account of Shaw's failure to release her schedule for this season, it is impossible to predict any results on her Saturday's engagement. However, it is believed that Shaw will meet Durham State normal in Raleigh at the Annual Fair. This his been one of the big days at the Raleigh Fair, the Shaw-Durham State game. This annual clash was begun when Durham State was the National Training School. Since the change in name, it seems that the school has changed or rather improved its football teams. Durham State has put squads on the field that have been able to give accounts of themselves against the Eastern Conference eleven. In spite of all the above chatter, if Shaw and Durham State meet in this combat, the former will come through with a win and if Shaw does not meet, Durham on the 24th, she will meet some North Carolina eleven and the results will be the same. TUSKEGEE-MOREI OUSE— Atlanta, October 21. Here ought to be one of the best grid-cards in the far South on this day with both squads looming as tough foes. It is hard to say who will case by, but for luck, Tuskegee is voted the edge, "Red" Dabney ought to be able to turn out a machine that can take care of itself against Morehouse. The scoring will not be heavy. IOWARD-WEST VIRGINIA—Charleston, October 24. This always proves to be a real test for Howard and a real battle for the Bobcats. Neither team has anything to give away and whoever crosses the last white mark, will not do so without a struggle. This is likely to go down on the records as a deadlock. West Virginia ought to go through this year and if there be any scoring, the team from the Mountainous state should be on the receiving end. LINCOLN-WILBERFORCE—Wilberforce, October 24. The Lions are in for a hectic melee and the Western team will give as well as she receives. Lincoln is minus the seintillating Jazz. Byrd who could be depended on to get by where others could not or place the oval in a position to be carried over.

WASHINGTON III-NORCOM—Norfolk, October 23. The Fighting Bookers will ramp on the Portsmouth eleven and when the final whistle sounds ending the fray, the local eleven will have a nice score to take home. Booker Washington looks several touchdowns stronger than Norcom, with such men as Johnson, Nottingham, Tynes and "Bob" Toliver fully capable of trotting across on most of them and in addition, an aerial attack that dazzles the best. NORFOLK A. C.-ADELPHIA S. C.-Norfolk, October 26 The Richmond team has always been able to take care of itself against the best Norfolk has been able to send on the field and the squad looms as strong as ever, if not better than previous years and will come to Norfolk to take the measure of the local team. However, the Norfolk Athletic Club has improved a great deal and it is generally believed that she has a much better squad than she has boasted of for some time. This will be a closely contested battle and neither team has any points to concede. Adelphia has been able to beat Norfolk Athletic Club since the institution of athletic relations between these two teams, with the exception of the tie game played in Richmond last Thanksgiving. Norfolk will send a strong team against Adelphia on this occasion. A team that is lighter, but faster and a team that is well trained in the art of the gridiron game. It is hard to tell who will ease over. The distance either way will not be many inches. Berkley Team Did Not Beat Newport Mr. A. F. Williams, secretary of the Newport News Y. M. C. A. informs the sports editor of the Journal and Guide that the announcement published on this page two weeks ago stating that the Lincoln of Berkley had beat the Newport News "Y" by a score of 6 to 0 was an error inasmuch as the "Y" beat the Berkley team. The message giving an account of the game as published was telephoned in to the sports editor of this paper immediately after the finish of the game and was relied upon as accurate. Much of this one-sided reporting of results of games would be averted if every team would report its own game instead of either waiting for the other side to report it or being indifferent as to whether the game is reported of not. Mr. Williams also states that the "Y" team is composed entirely of Y. M. C. A. members and no men of the Merrimacs of Hampton are playing on the "Y" team.

HI-JA CHEMIC Atlanta NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE JOHNSON'S DOPE WILLS AND JOHNSON SLATED LAST WEEK WAS TO GO 12 ROUNDS ON MONDAY JOHNSON'S DOPE LAST WEEK WAS 95 PER CENT O.K. Sports fans who endeavor to size up the gridiron dope will do well to read "Tips and Hunches" as doped out by Willey A. Wiley, sports writers in those pages. A reference to Mr. Johnson's last week's predictions will be found to have been over 95 per cent accurate. For instance, he doped Hampton to dispose of St. Paul at Norfolk, and that's what happened. He doped V. N. I. I. to take the measure of Durham State and his dope ran true. Mr. Johnson said the Shaw-Union game would be the closest and hardest fought contest for the week-end, and that prediction came to pass. Johnson also said A. and T. would beat Seminary, and here he did not miss his guess, although the fairness of this victory has been brought into question. The dopster also doped Howard to put away Johnson C. Smith, and again he was right. Johnson's greatest surprise prophecy in so far as the public believed, was that Booker Washington should be on top at the end of its game with Armstrong Tech in Washington, and that too proved a fact. Johnson refrained from prophecying on the Tuskegee-Atlanta University game; Tuskegee won. THYNE BEATS MARY POTTER THYNE BEATS MARY POTTER Chase City, Va.—Thyne Institute on last Friday beat the Mary Potter Institute eleven by a score of 12 to 0. Both of Thyne's touchdowns came in the first half. The first was the result of a whirling twisting end run by Smith, and the second by a smashing line plunge by Davis, Thyne's fullback. At no time was Thyne's goal in danger. Up to date the Thyne defense has not been penetrated and her goal has not been defiled. Thyne plays Peabody Hi of Petersburg on Friday, October 23.

Floyd Johnson is going to stage one of those comeback things in Newark next Monday night against Big "Harlem" Harry Wills, and oh! what a nausea. Johnson is in for a rough time ant-will get past all over the landscape by the wiry Steedore. Wonder what has come over the promoters? Do they think Johnson will have a chance against our Harry? There is something wrong somewhere. Wills and Johnson have been signed to go 12 rounds at the Newark Armory, according to reports that come flitting through the air and it seems that this thing is on sure enough and some light impressario is determined to go thru with an affair that has the aspects of being a flop. Johnson may be good as some say but he is not good enough for Harry Wills, and if this bout goes through, it will be plainly evidenced, of I miss my guess by many miles. This bout may turn out to be a replica of the Wills-Weinert affair staged in New York, not so very long ago. Johnson Considered a Trial Floyd Johnson, like the late Bill Brennan is considered a trial horse of some note. Brennan was dubbed the best trial horse that ever drew on a glove and met most of the prospects that loomed over the heavyweight horizon, sending many of them back to the sticks to take out a living in any other occupation, but the leather pushing industry. Brennan met all of them and never backed down. Now, some of the experts seem to think that Johnson is about to take the place of Brennan, meeting all and any of the hicks that think they can do they stuff in the fight game. Floyd Johnson has been in the game for sometime and has given a good account of himself against a lot of the fellows. Of course, he did a flop when Jess Willard, the cowpunch ham staged his comeback debut. In this melce, some think Johnson might have licked the cowboy giant had he elected to swap blows at a distance. Well, he did and he got just good and plenty by Willard, the former pseudo-champion. The Californiaian socked Jack McAulife and a plenty and bad Jack on his hecks in a very short order, but this means nothing much against Harry Wills. Harry seems to be able to upscpe the most of them. He has a style that has been puzzling to the experts and fans. Wills is able and has been able to take care of himself against all who have been pitted against him and rises to the crisis and puts his man away when it is, absolutely expected of him. Wonder why such a bout anyhow? Wills has proved his merit COLONIAL 3 SHOWS DAILY: 3:00----7:45----9:15 KEITH Vaudeville AND Feature Pictures PRICES: MATINEE----20c NIGHT----25c 2ND DALGONY RESERVED FOR COLORED PATRONS A Henry King Production Presented by Inspiration Pictures, Inc.

That is all he has been doing for some time, licking trial horses. Firpo, Madden and Weinert cannot be considered as anything else but trial horses. Firpo is the only one who was in the limelight to, even the least extent. The Newark Adonis has been pasted out of the scheme of things long ago, and for Bartley Madden, he has never been anything but a punch absorber. It seems that every one they send against Harry Wills, is nothing but a trial horse. How many trial horses does a man have to upset before being classed as a scraper of merit.

C., Oct. 22—Sweeping like a fierce, unrestilent hurricane, and fighting like a maddeed, desperate beast, the ferocious Union Panther outwitted and outbattled the mighty Shaw Bean by the score of 7 to 3, in a hectic and spectacular grid encounter Saturday 'midst sunshine, rain and darkness before a frenzied and colorful array of grid fans. Shields Thrills; Breaux Stars Perhaps the greatest football clash ever staged here and surely the most desperately contested grid drama ever enacted in C. I. A. A. circles, held a host of enthusiasts of the pigskin sport spellbound, as the iminimable "Jimmy" Shields, Union's back field ace dashed 35 yards to Shaw's 4 yard line, Breaux carrying the ball over and kicking the extra point. The excited crowd got more thrills as Martin placekicked a field goal for Shaw and Tobin, Union's star center, Hoffman, Smith and Morgan flashed brilliantly in spectacular runs. Play in Downpour "Old Man Pluvius" stepped in and made a slushy field so that the second half was featured by slipping, fumbling, many poniesit and unsteady running in the mud.

HUNTINGTON HI AND ARMSTRONG FIGHT TO A TIE Outwrighted 10 pounds to a man, Hunting High school eleven, Newport News' crack colored team, fought the heavy Armstrong High school of Richmond team to an 0:0 tie on the Huntington gridiron. Most of the game was played in the visitors' territory. High lights in the game were the desperate and determined tackling of Curry, Pennell, Scott, Raney and Howard. Time and time again, Cutty and Scott broke through the heavy Armstrong line and nailed the runner in his tracks for five yard losses. Sedgewick, Huntington's steady fullback, played an inspired game, breaking through time and again for heavy gains, catching passes and getting off beautiful punts. Williams also starred. The warm afternoon seemed to have taken some of the pop and ginger of the local lads during the first half, but they came back strong the second half with an unfortunate suitit.

JOHNSON, JR. In a slow and disinterested game, the Norcom eleven battled to a scoreless deadlock with the St. Joseph team. Thursday of last week at League Park, Both squads showed a lack of necessary punch to make an impressive showing. All of the breaks in the game favored the Norfolk team, but it was unable to take advantage to push over a tally. Norcom's line showed well on the defense and held St. Joseph repeatedly. Not until an aerial attack was resorted to, did the Catholics show any advantage, which intermingled with a good bit of扑unting and forward pacing, with J.S. Joseph holding the PRESS BOX DUNBON, JR.

News Service Chster, Pa.-zt is fully realized in the Lion's camp that when Coach Young unleashes his charges against Wilberforce on Saturday the 21th, the Lincolites will face a team of tremendous speed and power. Official reports state that the Wolverines have an unusually powerful machine to withstand the invasion of the Eastern boys. Wilberforce has many men of last year's squad in action, and a few new men, who have filled the gaps in the ranks, who show a superiority over their predecessors that gives impetus to the Wolverines hopes for success. The teams are about evenly matched, and the result is a toss up. Wilberforce will be the first college team that Lincoln has faced this season, and the third game that the Lions have played. The two club teams met thus far have fallen before Lincoln's attack. Wilberforce likewise remains undefeated.

A bad pass by the visitors center due to the ball being slippery caused the kicker to be tackled behind the goal line for a safety. The heavy downpour of rain made the ball hard to handle. Both teams fumbled repeatedly. The failure of the Virginians to hold the illusive pigskin spelled bitter defeat for them. Both teams showed a strong defense but their offensive strength could not be determined due to weather conditions. The Va. Dragons proved themselves a well coached team, and had the day he fair been no doubt there would have been much different history.

T'S TROUNCE ARMSTRONGTECH 27 TO 7 COUNT BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Incedous with the determination to win, ripping, tearing, shorting and carying on with the fife and fury of an aggregation on the extreme edge, keyed to the highest pitch, the Fighting Bookers trampled the touted Armstrong Tech of Washington in that city Tuesday morning, running away with the heavy end of 27-7. The Bookers had never accomplished this feat during the entire athletic relation between these two schools. Booker Washington tiddled herself of the jinx that had been stalking on her trail, pasted that green eyed monster in the clats, went on to the Nations Capital and trounced the Technical boys in good fashion. Johnson, Tynes and Nottingham in the backfield here the brunt of the offensive and went on to register with a zip that caused the scoring thermometer to mount and hover around the four touchdown mark. Williams, Diggs, Faisor and Tucker, also came in for their share of the honors in the one-sided affair. The Fighting Bookers' squad performed well and Armstrong was unable to stop their mad dash that overwhelmed the Washington team. Tynes, "Bob" Tolliver and Williams accounted for the tallies registered against Tech, with Tolliver easing over for two. Armstrong's touchdown came as the result of a fumble. Chas.S.C.

According to information running the rounds, the Norfolk Athletic Club, Norfolk's pride, is slated foroughing in the game against the Wichita College of Elks, formerly the Adelphi Special Club of Richmond at Eagle Park, Monday, October 26, at which time these two rival elevens are booked to match their ability for supremacy in the football realm of Tidewater Virginia. It has been reported that the Richmond team will put a strong aggregation on the field, a team that excels any the capital city has boasted of yet. Much weight has been added and this weight is well grounded in the fine points of the grid game and it is expected that the club will bring a large squad to do or die on the local field. The Norfolk Athletic Club is preparing to meet this onrush with a much lighter, but faster team than the organization has had since its beginning. The Norfolk club feels that it is in a better position to do what it has not done yet, and that is, wallop the Richmond team. This will be a hard fought battle from beginning to the end, with neither squad letting up for a fraction of a moment until one is crushed and defeated.

This is a wonderful record and the local team is bent upon being the first to smear this spotless record. The Williams Lodge队 run away with the Ward A. C. squad, of Annapolis last week. It is doubtless many whatever this was the regular lineup in the game. Regular or not, such a score against Ward is indicative of a good team winning over a good team.

A Sermon Preached By Rev. B. W. Harris, Rector of Grace Episcopal Church at the Service Last Sunday Morning. Text, Luke 12:15: "And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." These stern words of our lord are brought forth by a man out of the crowd who came to him asking that he make his brother divide the inheritance with him. Our Saviour replied by saying that he was not set as a judge or divider. It was because our Lord saw such a bad words of our lord are brought forth by a man out of the crowd who came to him asking that he make his brother divide the inheritance with him. Our Saviour replied by saying that he was not set as a judge or divider. It was because our Lord saw such a bad spirit behind this request that he uttered these stern words of warning, "Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." Selfishness Is Destructive Selfishness Is Destructive Selfishness is self-destructive. This law arises from the fundamental principle, that ethical life is the realization of self thru what is other than self. It is the law of interdependence, that all things thrive in proportion as they relate themselves to their surroundings. Booker T. Washington was great, not because he made himself great but because he increased the value of those with whom he came in contact. If he had gone to make himself he would have failed. The branches of a tree loose themselves in the tree and give themselves to make flower and fruit. The same is true of the members of the body. The life of a well depends not so much on the supply of water that comes in, but the amount that is taken off. Even though the stream which flows in may continue to come in, if you stop drawing off the well will become stagnant. It is what it gives, not what it receives that counts. The Evil of Covetousness Now, one of the strongest motives which animates mankind is selfishness. "It is universal, and I suppose it is so because it is so close to self-preservation. Now, covetousness is that form of selfishness which is always desired to have more, the craving after more. Isn't it a fact that a majority of men go into business, with the idea, not of making a living, but getting ahead, getting more. Listen at the Apostle Peter "Lo, we have left all and followed thee; what then shall we have?" Satan is made to say to God in the case of Job after God had taken his possessions "Skin for skin, you all that a man hath will he give for his life." In other words he says, you touch that motive of selfishness. Illustrate In World War Take the case of the last war to see how selfishness animated the civilized nations of the world. It was one of President Wilson's strong convictions that most of the wars are brought about over the question of foodstuffs and raw materials for industrial use. Let me say, you must admit, however you disagree with Wilson, that he was one of the ablest scholars in his field that this country has produced in a long time. One nation does not feel secure as long as it is dependent upon another for its supply in food and raw materials. To show that this is true; England is right now spending thousands upon thousands of dollars trying to raise the grade of cotton that she needs in Uganda and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. England does not feel good dependent upon the United States for her cotton supply. On the other hand just last week, there was an announcement in the papers, that Mr. Firestone had obtained a concession of one million acres of land in Liberia and was going to spend one hundred million dollars to grow rubber. America is dependent up England for rubber, you know, because England controls about 97 per cent of the rubber supply. You see, they do not want to be dependent. It is because raw materials play such an important part in shaping the policies of countries and because AFRICA is one of the richest continents in the world in national resources that AFRICA WAS THE CAUSE OF THE LAST WAR, and not the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince, nor, in the case of England, the violation of the neutrality of Belgium, nor, in the case of the United States the sinking of the Lasitania. These things were simply pretexts. To justify this statement, let me say, at the close of the 19th and about the first of the 20th centuries, England, France and Germany were in CHURCH DIRECTORY GARRETT B. A. M. B.

England had Egypt, Orange Free State and the Transvaal, yielding gold, diamonds, rubber, coffee and a host of other products to say nothing of India. Belgium had the Congo with its rubber of which you have heard so much. France had Sinegal, Algeria, Morocco, and French Guinea, yielding gold, copper, rubber, rice and other grains. I have simply mentioned the most important. The surprising is that the war did not start before. You can see what is meant by that talked of thing they call the SUPREMACY OF THE SEAS. All felt that they had to protect their possessions in Africa and get more if they could, so when the torch was set on the continent by the assassination all were ready and they went. As for America, what did she go in for? Col. Harvey when he was ambassador to the Court of St. James said that the whole country was up in arms, but I tell you it was true. They had loaned money to all the Allies almost without measure, besides being interested in South America and the Islands to the South. Do you think for a moment that all this was going to be risked, counting on the Allies winning the war by themselves. Suppose Germany had won? What then? You can see now what we went in for. Results Show Motives The results of the way show the motives. Take a look at Africa again. England got Tanganyika. France got Togoland and Kamerun; Belgium got Rwanda-Urundi all under the shield of MAN-DATES and Germany stripped of her possessions. Does this throw any light on the situation? The thing that hurt the Germans most was the lost of her colonies. It is an interesting question to see how the nations of Europe got such a foot-hold in Africa. They got it under the shield of the cross of Christ. They went as missionaries and that is the real reason why Japan and China are so shy of European and American Christianity today. If they had gone to Africa for the purpose of developing the natives, through education and religion and setting them up independent, that would have been alright, but no they went for what they could get and they got it. The recent Opium Conference failed, not because opium should not have been regulated, but because it was one of the main products of China, and from a business point of view they could lose it. This shows how selflessness is rooted in the leading nations of the world and remember that individuals make up nations. The true remedy is given in the last part of our text: "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." When we ask what a man is worth the world replies by saying what he has. The Son of Man replies, not by saying what he has but by what HE IS. BE RATHER THAN HAVE. That is what will count when we go before the Judge that judges right. Difference of Pessessions Now, don't interpret what I say to mean that the Negro should not obtain an economic standing, because by all means he needs that. There is a great difference between obtaining what you ought to have and what rightfully belongs to you and being greedy for what you do not need and especially when it belongs to some one else. As long as selfishness animates the nations of the world there is no such thing as permanent peace. Dr. Fosdick told the assembly of the League of Nations not long ago in his sermon that if the nations did not end war then war would end them, and now I say IF MANKIND DOES NOT END SELFISHNESS THEN SELFISHNESS WILL END MANKIND. Bank Street Baptist Rev. H. M. Smith, pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, Syracuse, N. Y., delivered a striking sermon on the subject of "The Homeless Christ," Sunday morning, at Bank Street Church. The congregation listened with rant attention to the delivery of the discourse in which Christ was pictured as knocking at the human heart for admittance; admittance into our business relations, into our race relations and whatsoever relations that affect our lives. The text was from Matthew 8:20. "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head." At the evening service, Rev. Smith preached another wonderful sermon on the subject, "The Conquering Christ," which brought amens from the large congregation present. Rev. J. Douglas Herben is conducting a great revival at Bank Street in which many sinners are being called to repentance. All who have heard Dr. Herben testify to his wonderful power in drawing large crowds and to his power in bringing sinners into the fold. Rev. Herben will have charge of the revival for two weeks. The public and sinners are invited to attend this great spiritual awakening now going on in the city at Bank Street Church. TIDEWATER FAIR (Continued from Page One) nuts, potatoes, cow peas. The splendid record of the boys' club for last year as given by J. L. Charity, district farm agent, was in charge of the exhibit is as follows: 14,073 bushels of corn, 3,331 bushel of potatoes, 114,556 pounds of cotton and 11,812 pounds of tobacco. The girls' domestic science exhibit is beyond comparison, it included two hundred pieces of the finest artwork in hand embroidery, clothing, etc. It is under the supervision of Miss L. A. Jenkins of Hampton and direction of J. B. Pierce, field agent of Hampton Institutes. Emergency Hospital and Health Exhibit A unique and unusual feature of widespread attention among the visitors is the Emergency Hospital and Health exhibit which is in charge of Miss Helen Watts of Norfolk and Mrs. B. S. Davis. In the exhibit department numerous illustrations and placards are on display showing the effects of disease upon the body and telling of methods of prevention while in the year is a hospital compartment with neatly arranged beds and facilities for first aid treatment of wounded, sick and babies. St. Joseph's Band Attendance St. Joseph's School Band of Norfolk, under the direction of Dr. Josiah Bailey contributed music for the enlivenment of crowds.

This have been more acceptable people. The book has changed ever Pillai said, with a grim determined then that I become a criminal lawman that I would be a social was the old game, of which the young North Carolinian had probably never heard. The "kind" ever paid to Travelers Aid was undue attention to the person whom we wish to serve. Private consideration of the problems of noisy or ill persons is sometimes difficult to arrange, but even so, the ultimate consideration of the problem need not be altered. In contact with the immigrant, the Travelers Aid has the possibility of a service which is "different" in all its potentialities. The Travelers Aid work may make for the immigrant such connections in the community as will greatly facilitate his establishing of himself. In this the Travelers Aid has such an extraordinary opportunity for service that it is "different" in its immense possibilities. We may permit the immigrants to pass thru the gates and blunder into whatever of resource the city has to offer, or we may with sufficient, capable personnel do a most useful piece of work. All big cities now have splendid resources for the use of immigrants—The Travelers Aid can help materially in bringing together the people and the resources. The Problem And so finally we may sum up this "difference" in Travelers Aid problems. Does it not resolve itself into the difference in the original contact which is outside the accustomed surroundings and town of the person concerned? The Travelers Aid worker does many of her important services in the most public of all places, but that has nothing to do with the character and quality of the service. It requires the same if not greater preparedness on the part of the Travelers Aid worker. The other point of "difference" is in the potential contacts of the Travelers Aid worker. It is her privilege to seek out those whom she may serve. Her greatest service is often done for those who carelessly or ignorantly enter the city. Upon her fine discrimination her knowledge of people, her observation, her observation of behavior, her courage in acting when she is convinced of the need for action—upon these hang the happiness of many people. A Recent Case An illustration of the splendid work of the colored branch of the Travelers Aid Society here is afforded in a very recent case concerning a youth en route to Elizabeth City State Normal School from Jackson, N. C. The parents of this lad, who was about 16 years old, had provided him with sufficient funds to come to Norfolk and change trains for Elizabeth City. Alighting from a Seaboard Railway train at the company's terminal in Portsmouth, the youth crossed the ferry and proceeded in the direction of the union station. While walking leisurely along Main street a congenial stranger engrossed him in a conversation and proceeded to accompany the boy in the direction of the railroad station. When they had gone several blocks, suddenly the stranger stooped and picked up a pocketbook, which apparently was bulging with greenbacks. Of course, was the old game, of which the young North Carolinaian had probably never heard. The "kind" worker and work among the outcasts of my country." At this time Pillai was chief clerk of the National Y, M. C. A. at Calcutta. His position there was a good one, he declares. His parents and the parents of the girl he was to marry were horrified, at his decision to come to America and then return to work among the outcasts. They attempted to change the plans of the young Hindu. He was determined, however, and mortgaged the only piece of land he owned in order to obtain the money for his passage to the United States. He came with this warning from the mother of the girl he loved coaching in his ears: "If you have to go and work among the outcasts and my daughter would have to go and work with you. I would rather see her taken out of the house a corpse than your bride." Which statement isn't so encouraging to a man in love. But Pillai had a greater love than this. He refused to accept the hand of his beloved, who would have married him in spite of parental disapproval. If she had defied tradition, however, it would have been a blow to education for women, for she was the first girl of the community to attend school and receive a degree. Should she have married Pillai would have taken more than 100 years to recover from the blow, or the intrepid student. There are two ways that he might carry on the work among the outcast. One would be to go out with the man the morning, being A boy in a suit and hat stands in front of two women, one holding a briefcase. The boy is facing the woman on the left, who is wearing a hat and a coat. The woman on the right is also wearing a hat and a coat. stranger suggested a division of the pocketbook's contents. Then, of course, the inevitable change-making question had to loom up before a division of the found "money" could be made. The lad was asked for what money he had to help make the proper change. He was asked to take a seat in the station and wait until the stranger, who had extracted the boys last $8.00, could return with the change. The flimflammer, for that is what he was, had told the boy to tell anyone who might inquire what he was waiting for to say that he was waiting for his father. Truth Is Told The colored Travelers Aid worker seeing the youth sitting in the station, made of him in a few inquiries. When she learned that he was en route to school on a certain train she became interested to know why his father was so long in joining the boy at the station. As train time approached Travelers' Aid became more interested and insistent. The train finally pulled out. Travelers Aid seeing that the lad was in a serious predicament continued to ply him with questions until he finally told her that a man had taken his money and he was waiting for him to return. Travelers Aid knew. To her it was simply another flimflam victim. She knew, however, that something had to be done for the boy, now stranded and without funds. A telephone call was made to the school in Elizabeth City, from where the Travelers Aid received assurances that a youth bearing a name similar to the one the boy gave was looked for at the school. Travelers Aid was requested to buy a ticket for him and send him on with the understanding that the price of the ticket would be returned. The boy was sent on to school, poorer and wiser. What might have been his fate had it not been for the kindly intervention of Travelers Aid is left to conjecture. He might have become both frightened and shamefaced and wandered out into the world. careful not to touch them or to eat with them, come home at noon, disrobe, bathe, and put on other attire; then eat, disrobe, and change to the dress of the morning and go back to his work. The same schedule would follow in the evening. The other manner is simply to defy all custom and go out and live and eat with the members of the hated outcasts. The term outcast is applied to those who are so low on the social scale as not to be counted even in the lowest of the four castes. Pillai explains, Yet, he has decided on the latter course, knowing that it means the severing of all connections with friends and relatives in any way. He is ex-communicated from them altogether. gather. When Pillai first came to this country he entered Denison University. He began to do heavy work in order to meet expenses. His lungs became affected and he had to spend twenty months in a sanitarium. Funds were raised by the student body to provide for his treatment. Later he underwent an operation, reentered Denison and was $31 in debt at the end of his second year. This fall he entered Ohio State University. After paying all expenses he had $15 left. At present he is scrubbing floors for a room and washing dishes for his board. Where the money is coming from for the rest of his year's expenses he doesn't know. Pillai, though, broke away from centuries of Hindu tradition. It is likely that he will break away from any approach of absolute bankruptcy. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE HE STRAN ed by Travelers' A made by Mr. Marcus L. Bell, vice president and general counsel of the Rock Island Railroad and president of the National Association of Travelers Aid when he said: “1. I like Travelers Aid work, because its service is univ. sal. It does not draw the line at color or race or creed. “2. Travelers Aid does not limit its charity to the ill or the aged, the crippled or to any other class. It serves every traveler who may need assistance. “3. The finest Travelers Aid story I know is the parable of the Good Samaritan; and our Travelers Aid workers are day by day living out this parable in a thousand ways. 4. Last year Travelers Aid rendered aid to two and a half million people; each one of these was the recipient of a kindly act, many of them small perhaps, but certainly a great many of them important. 5. It is a wonderful field to render public service; for this is a nation of travelers, and people in the United States will travel more and more year after year. 6. The National Association is working to make Travelers Aid a ration-wide service. There are 167 organized societies; there ought to be 300. This Progressive Minister Says Advertising Helps Him Put Over His Program COMMUNITY CENTER The First Baptist Church is one of the "Big" Churches of the country. Its program includes a Day Nursery, Kindergarten, Free Employment Bureau, Playgrounds for children and Old Folks' Home-All of these enterprises are of benefit to humanity and are eminently successful under the intelligent guidance of the minister and his co-workers. They are a social asset that is now indispensable to this city. --- NGER THR Aid Workers "7. We propose to see that there are 300 or more local societies, and that each one of these societies is co-ordinate with every other. "8. Our chain of service is no stronger than its links. The headquarters of the National Association is the clearing house for all these local societies. The justification for our existence is that we serve you. "9. To bring that service closer home, we have divided the country into districts, and have appointed district committees for advice and suggestions, based upon knowledge of local conditions. "10. It is astonishing to me to find how little the public knows about the Travelers Aid work, but it is just as gratifying to see how much the individual citizen appreciates it, when once he understands Miss Dorothy Uff, who has been appointed deputy superintendent registrar of births, marriages and deaths in the city of Leicester, is the only woman in England with authority to officiate at weddings.

Being the pastor of a "down-town"/church, that is, one on the outskirts of colored population, I have learned by hard experience to put my dependence for a crowd to speak to not merely in having something worthwhile to say, but in letting people know where I am and what I have in store for them. With this in view, my officers and I have tried out many forms of advertising and publicity for our services and meetings. But, at the end of eleven long years, we are ready to confess that no sort or form of advertising has paid us as well as that which we have gotten in The Norfolk Journal & Guide. We have found repeatedly that a few dollars invested in advertising space in your widely read paper invariably brings results. Twice, recently, within a week two such "ads" packed our church to the doors, while almost every Sunday night our audience is one of the largest among the "down-town" churches of either race. What the "Guide" does for my church I can conceive of its doing for every church, every lodge, every business, every place of amusement. I heartily commend its use to every person, every firm, every organization, that has anything worthwhile to say or to sell. SECOND SECTION W. WRIGLEY, JR. NOT IN PASTE CO BY MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYSEY William Shakespeare never hung out a shingle as an investment advertiser. It may, therefore, be amiss to bring his writings into the chatter of the market place. However, in the play, "Romeo and Juliet," speaking through the mouth of Juliet, the Bard of Avon said: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." That may have been true in 1593, when it was written, but it hardly fits the facts in 1925. Since national advertising developed on a large scale millions of dollars are in a name. Fortunes have been invested in white space to make household words out of the names of Wrigley, Gilbert, Procter and Gamble, Victor, Studebaker, a and Hart Schaffer and Marx, to mention only a few among hundreds. What's in A Name What's in A Name. Take Wrigley, for example. What associations does it raise in the minds of the average American? Spearmint gum is perhaps the first mental, picture called forth. Then the impression of Wm. Wrigley, Jr. of Chicago, master advertiser and builder of a great personal fortune. Wrigley, a man who has succeeded by everlastingly sticking at the business of advertising—and presumably keeping his product right. A reader of this column writes to inquire whether the shares of the Wrigley Pharmaceutical Company of Atlantic City makers of Spearmint toothpaste, are attractive. Wrigley, and Spearmint, are names to conjure with. The literature bears of the name W. W. Wrigley, president of the toothpaste concern. Is this toothpaste enterprise a subsidiary of the successful chewing gum enterprise? Perhaps there is enough surface material to indicate to the careless observer that perhaps it is. But on investigation it appears that Wm Wrigley, Jr., the chewing gum man, and his business associates have absolutely no interest or connection with the toothpaste man W. W. Wrigley, through a business associate, says, in reply to an inquiry regarding this point: FIRST BAPTIST RICHARD H.

Wrigley, Jr., company. Spearmint toothpaste is sold upon its own merits." Questions And Answers Is the stock of the toothpaste concern attractive? I do not deal in prophecy, and will not undertake to give advice on highly speculative and conjectural matters. Is the stock an investment? I do not consider Wrigley Pharmaceutical shares suitable for investment purposes. In the first place, the company recently stated that it had no financial statement available for publication at this time. An income account and a balance sheet are telltale financial documents which show whether a concern is being soundly and profitably managed. In placing funds in shares of a company which withholds such financial information, the investor is buying a cat in the bag. The Name Is Given Secondly, although the company may be within its legal rights in featuring the name of its president, W. W. Wrigley, and in using the word "spearmint," it shows a lack of originality in employing such a descriptive term which has already been widely exploited by another enterprise. And the toothpaste field is so highly competitive that, if bent on speculating in the hazards of the sale of dentifrices, I should prefer to entrust my funds to a management which displayed more creative talent and originality. Thirdly, I should not rush into this proposition merely because W. W. Wrigley, president of the pharmaceutical company, in a recent circular letter, says: - "To a limited number of highly representative people we offer the opportunity of becoming a stockholder on the ground floor basis." F. T. Stockard, Commissioner of Securities of the State of Missouri, on September 1 last, sent a notice to the Wrigley Pharmaceutical Company to cease and desist from the sale of the stock to investors in Missouri. In his order, the commissioner said that the company had neither sought n or received authority from his department to dispose of stock and other securities to investors in Missouri, under the provisions of the Missouri Securities Act. Moreover, Einer Barfod, of the Bureau of Securities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, revealed that process has been issued upon which there will be a hearing at Philadelphia, scheduled for October 9, in which one of the issues will be as to whether the IST CHURCH BOWLING, PASTOR ENCE BITTE STREET LK, VA. imenting The Norfolk Journ ad mechanical excellence aracted to its pages, allow advertising medium. October 12, 1925. PAGE NINE toothpaste company has fully complied with all of Pennsylvania's corporation laws. The venturesome will say: "Only $10 is involved, and be-sides ten shares of $1 par value stock, you also get two dozen tubes of regular twenty-five cent size spearmint toothpaste." I shall not undertake to pass on the merits of the toothpaste. Most manufacturers of dentrifices assert the high merits of their products. Gum Man's Statement Here is what William Wrigley, Jr., the chewing gum man, has to say in reply to an inquiry from the financial editor of the Evening Journal: "Neither the writer nor any of the officers or employees of this company has ever been interested or connected in any way with said concern (the Wrigley Pharmaceutical Company, of Atlantic City.)" The authorized capitalization of the toothpaste concern is a million dollars, consisting of a million shares of a dollar par value common stock. The company is selling the new stock direct to the public. Earlier in the year it was reported that 328,000 of the new shares had been sold. The company conducts a demonstration store on the Boardwalk, near the Million-Dollar-Pier, at Atlanic City, and has a number of girls operating machines for filling tubes and cartons. Among the data submitted by the company in response to a request for information regarding the investment merit of the stock is a circular chronicling that W. W. Wrigley, president, presented earlier in the season to Hon. Edward L. Bader, Mayor of Atlantic City, the largest tube of toothpaste in the world. A statement also announced that a guessing contest would be conducted to determine the number of cleansings in the giant "grandaddy of them all" tube. For one, I do not propose to inculge my guessing instincts as to the number, of times a family can fruitfully squeeze this tube, nor in respect to the probable value of the stock which lies behind this spectacular undertaking. I advise small investors to look elsewhere for tested investments of demonstrable worth. Queen.

C.—Among the distinguished visitors at Waters Training School, last week was Monsieur Jacques, of Haiti. Monsieur Jacques gave an interesting talk in the chapel. He briefly related the three great history making epochs of the fourteenth century: the discovery of America; the Reformation; and the invention of the Printing Press. He said that the man that the world was looking for in the future was not the great orato, not the man or woman who could speak French or German and read Latin well, the man or woman who could actually bring things to his hands. He admonished the students to make the best out of that which they had at hand in that they might be the best service to themselves and humanity. One could sum up the facts and express them in the language of the late Booker T. Washington: "Cast down your buckets where you are." Monsieur Jacques also spoke Sunday afternoon at South Winton Church. His discourse was an explanation of the religious, social and economic status of Haiti. The speaker emphatically declared that the only thing that would remedy the terrible conditions of the Island was to get the people there to believe in that great principal of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man." Another prominent visitor was a former teacher of Waters, Rev. J. C. Hollomon of Washington, D. C. "The high school enrollment has a climb up to 12."

Mott Declares That The Field Be "White Unto Harvest," In Urging That Work Be Extended. New York.—As a result of 72 years of intensive effort to meet the needs of the 10,463,000 Negroes in the United States, the colored work of the Young Men's Christian Association has at last achieved a place in the sun. In his address before the recent National Staff Conference at Atlantic City, Dr. John R. Mott, General Secretary of the American Y. M. C. A., listed the expansion of colored work among the principal needs of the next three years, thus, in the opinion of officials of the Colored Work Department of the National Council here, it will an importance before recognized. This followed only a few days an appeal for enlarged activities among Negroes, made before the National Secretarial Cabinet by Channing H. Tobius, Senior Secretary of the Colored Work Department. Praises Rosenwald It has been fourteen years since those was a forward movement in Association work among colored men and boys." Mr. Tobius declared, "and the Association did not initiate, that movement. It was forced upon the Association Jebus, Julius Rosenwald, whom some of us regard as more actively Christian than thousands who bear the name. "I appeal to you gentlemen who represent the state committees and the National Council to urge local associations to think of the Association field as embracing all the men and boys in a community instead of one race or one group, as is often the case today. Dr. Matt has mentioned as a test, whereby a cause may be listed as a priority in the coming three-year program that the field be 'white into harvest.' I plead for consideration of the colored work on that score. Because of this new commitment, it is considered probable that fresh importance will attach to the National Conference on Colored Work, to be held at Washington, Dr. C. October 21 to 23. Both white and Negro delegates, many of them nationally prominent in the Y. M. C. A., will attend, in an effort not only to solve the problems of expansion resulting from the rapidly increasing Negro population, but also to bring about better feeling between the two races in this country.

C., according to the trusted feature in the Quebec Journal, sponsoring in the Quebec 4th issue of the Atlanta Journal. The story of Major Perry's preaching as told in the Atlanta paper says the preacher is 60 years old, can neither read nor write, praches intelligent sermons in his sleep, and in his waking hours remembers nothing about his sermons, his teachers, Mr. Williams, of improbable reputations, have heard Major Perry preach and vouch for the authenticity of the story told about him. Says the Atlanta Journal's story: Says the Atheist Nation, "Major Perry, an agile Negro living near Leesville, S. C., can neither read nor write and is unable to distinguish a passage of the Bible from another while he is awake, but when he is asleep he delivers an quotes in the best English, an quotes from the Bible in a way that would do honor to a theological student. "The Rev. Frank M. Graham, well known evangelist of Green county, has just returned from Leesville, where he heard the old Negro preach in his sleep, and vouches for the statements made he." With several friends, Mr. Graham visited the home of Major Perry, four miles from Leesville to hear him preach and that night the old Negro, whose memory reaches back to times of slavery chose as his text: "God is a spirit, and He seeketh such to worship Him in spirit and truth." "Mr. Graham says that the sermon delivered by the sleeping man was sincere, intelligent and stirring, and that his quotations from the scriptures which he cannot read in his waking hours and which he has had no opportunity to memory for as anybody knows, were made without a single error. Major Perry is between 85 and 90 years old, and seems to be a thoroughly normal old man while awake. Doctors have examined him during his waking moments and while he is in the trance in which he is utterly astonished by the utterly astonished his intelligence and education, and none have been able to explain the phenomenon. Endowed With Two Personalities "One white preacher who lives for many years in Loessville and knew Major Perry intimately, advanced the theory that the old man is endowed with two personalities—one that controls when he is awake, and the other, entirely different, in control when he is asleep. "Another theory advanced by some residents of Leesville is that the old Negro was called to preach, but persistently refused to answer the call. But the Holy Spirit, not to be gainaid, opens the lips of the uneducated Negro while he is asleep and makes him preach with the tongue of a college graduate. "Mr. Graham says that Major Perry's custom when he is about to preach is to lie down upon a couch and drop into a trance almost immediately. In about 15 minutes his lips begin to move and the words of a hymn issue forth. When the song is done his sermon begins and continues calmly as though he could know by now that he had to say. The next day he is unable to remember any part of the sermon he preached the day before. "On several occasions, says Mrs. Graham, Major Perry has been taken to Columbia, S. C., and placed on a seat in the pulpit of one of the churches there. Almost immediately he dropped into a trance and preached a sermon of sound sense and deep religious fervor. "Never are two sermons the same and his quotations from the Bible include every part of the scriptures. The editor of the Edisto Record at Wergoner, S. C., recently heard Major Perry preach in his sleep on the text: "For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of the Father, which speaketh in you," and he gives the following account of the words uttered by the old man: Major Perry's Sermon "The spirit of God worketh great things," began the sleeping Negro, "but man has not the spirit of God, but the spirit of the devil. The church of God has been changed for the purpose of money. God says six days the week and the day the week and keep behind the holy desk for money on the Sabbath have not the spirit of God. They will tell you that if the ox is in the ditch, pull him out. But hasn't he been in the ditch six days? Wigy didn't you put out before you, or did that speak, but the spirit of your Father, which The church today has been turned to war of profit; yes, you say amen, you shout and sin. But the spirit of God is not in your hearts. You may pretend, but God knows, and God is biggy. My sheep hear my voice and goats in a pasture the sheep hear the shepherd's answer and answer, so the goats have learned the voice and they also answer. Such is the way with Christians and sinners—they have become mixed. The sinners pretend, but the spirit of God is not in their hearts; and some day, it will be with them as it was with Moses. God led Moses upon the mount and let him look on over the Promised Land; let him see all the beauty, all the comfort, then God said: Moses, you have disobeyed my commands und you cannot enter the Promised Land. "Moses had been a good man and had done things that were good, and the wives came, he disobeyed God, so he could not enter the Land of Promise. "Friends, can you say when you stand at the bar of God, Yes Lord I have kept your commandments; I have done my best, or must you hear sentence passed upon you as Moses did? "Will you look over in the Promised Land, but find that you cannot enter? "God is angry. The time is coming when a famine will be upon the land and you will not hear the God of your in its true meaning. It is not ye that speak, but the spirit of my Father speaketh in you." In writing of Major Perry, the Twin City News, of Leesville, S. C., recently quoted J. Q. Holder as follows: "Living four miles north of Leesville, S. C., in the lower edge of Saluda County is one of the most wonderful human beings in the world. "The subject of this sketch is an old Negro, 90 years of age—who was a slave—ignorant, able neither to read nor to write, yet able to preach a sermon every night of his life. "The queer part of this is that he quotes the Bible correctly as any educated man. "He takes his text, giving the book, chapter and verse, and has never been known to make a mistake. "While this man, Major Perry by name, is in this sleep or trance, he cannot be awakened by any means found. "He of visitors heard him say that he knows absolutely nothing about this preaching." for the past 20 years. When he first visited here, Major Perry was preaching in his sleep. On his recent return, the old Negro was still delivering sermons while in a trance, Mr. Graham believes the thing is beyond human understanding. ELIZABETH CITY Elizabeth City, N. C.—Dr. C. M.

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 9—The race problem in America can be solved by the patient and perennial application of Christian principles. Such was the contention of Rev. Charles R. Erdman, D. L. LL. D., of Princeton, Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, at a meeting held the Afro-American Presbyterian in a nifty. The sessions of the Council continued through Sunday, and carried the third first year in the of the organization.

"It is duty of each individual to strive successfully for a higher moral, intellectual and spiritual development, both for himself and for his wife. As Christians we should read such development with absolute confidence. We should be guilty of no denominational rivalries, any more diverse animosities, and we should to attain the ideals by Presbyterians in common and other Christian churches. The Presbyterian Church has always emphasized the need of education, the virtue of patriotism and the duty of evangelism." Pays Tribute to Ogden Referring to education, Modern Erdman paid a high tribute to late Robert C.

Marshall, Texas—Sheriff John C. Sanders, of Harrison county, has again demonstrated that a courageous officer determined to stand his ground, is more than match for the average mob. Some days ago two Negroes killed some white men in a controversy in an adjoining county.] Mob violence was threatened and the prisoners were brought here for safe keeping. A mob followed and staged to storm the jail. Sheriff Sanders抱 them to disperse and all but thirteen left. These assisted, howeve-ler, a plucky sheriff arrested the whole thirteen and locked them up. This makes five cases in Texas this year in which mobs bent on lynching have been successfully defied by faithful sheffits, backed by public opinion. In one case, that in Dallas, a member of the mob was killed by officers defending their prisoner.

Mrs. Elnora WOULD URGENEW INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION WOULD URGENEW INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION Equal Rights League Urges 150th Anniversary of The Nation As Day to Address Grievances to the Country. The National Equal Rights League, of Boston, in the call for the eighteenth annual meeting committed itself fully to consideration of race grievances based on distranchisement, lynching and segregation. This commitment, which was adopted at the meeting in Baltimore, October 7-9, is embodied in a "Declaration of Independence Susquientential Address To The Country." Its purpose is to call the attention of the Nation to grievances under which, 12,000,000 of the country's citizen suffer, at a time when this government will be celebrating its 150th anniversary. The League in its declaration states the following: "The fourth of July next, 1926, will be marked by a prodigious, national observance of the Sesquicentennial of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The main basic principles of this declaration, justification for revolution and an independent nation, are that the people have free and equal are endowed by their Creator with such inanable rights as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. "The lynchings deny life protection; the practical disfranchisement of millions for color denies freedom and consent of the governed; separation, segregation and debarment for color; the lack of public and military education, government employ ments, places of accommodation and resort, and in industry deny freedom, equality and pursuit of happiness." "Such existing conditions affecting one-tenth of our population make the tenets of the great Decarlation sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, and would make observance of its sesquicentennial under present conditions hollow mock cry. Appeal to Whiter Americans "So we call upon our whiter fellow fellow-Americans, who have ever these maltreatments of their darker fellow-Americans, who have ever loyally offered their lives when the hour of danger struck, and made possible the 18th Anniversary Observance with honor and truth. Appeal to the President To this end we direct the appeal to President Calvin Coolidge to abolish segregation of colored employees of the federal government which they must defend with their lives, in his executive office, to urge Congress to enact legislation against lynching and disfranchisement. Call to our Own Colored Americans "Finally, we urge all our own Colored Americans to join with this League in renewed, organized crusade for the promises of this document; to unite with us in a nation-wide drive for the full recognition and enjoyment of the capitals of the nation of Indie-ence of the 160th Anniversary of its adoption, for which the first armed blow was struck by Crispus Attucks, Colored American, first martyr for this republic."

A Quart of Good Wine May Be Had for 10c In France, Says Rogers sign here. Thirteen is a hockey number with the French. Another custom is that a duty is levied on merchandise brought into the city of Paris. This is reminiscent of the time when the states of the Union had to one another. A taxi driver leaving Paris had better get a ticket for the quantity of gas taken out. And if he brings in more than he takes out he must pay the duty. But to me, a Negro the most striking thing in France is the attitude toward a Negro. The Anglo-Saxon is the cracker attitude and you have it. As I said in my last, one finds Negroes, black Negroes, employed everywhere. I have talked with more than a score of French Negroes principally from the French West Indies and they tell me the natives of the Caribbean enjoy for them enjoy with the Frenchmen. In my last I spoke of Bengla, the magnificent Senegalese at the Folies—Bengela. I have since returned there and I have found that his contact with the white woman in his act has been cut to a minimum. One act has been entirely eliminated. I remarked on it to a Frenchman and he replied, "C'est les Americains." One hears more English than French spoken at the Folies-Bergere. At one of the side-shows I attended in New York City. As I write I have before me a copy of Premier Poincaré's warning to Americans to leave their color discriminations at home. Still they have money and are capable of doing a lot of mischief. In the shop-windows on the Grand Boulevard may be seen wax-models of real Negroes, men and women, kinky hair and all dressed in the latest fashion and adornments. This, it seems to me, is a little more than even the Negro at home, with his inferiority complex would do in his shop-window. It is certainly no disgrace to be black in France. The stars in many Parisian shows are full-blooded Negroes. Some of them are in the Palace, one of the finest cinemas houses I have ever been in. After the pictures there was an acrobatic feature in which the star was a clever little black boy. The act wound up with a boxing contest between this little Negro and a white boy. As they pummed each other with a punch, which would be made to win. The white boy, I said surely. But to my astonishment the black boy not only was made to knock out the white one but he knocked out two of the white men, then stood with one of his feet on the white boy, with arms folded as a conqueror. And the audience applauded. In front of the Palace of the Troccadero looked toward the Eiffel Tower among other statues are those of two African queens lips and all eyes on the figure representing Africa in front of Buckingham Palace, London, is a white girl I found not a little of color discrimination in London, but so far I have been unable to find the least trace of it here, that is, so far as the French are concerned. At present I am living in the Latin Quarter. Here one sees almost every race on earth, and all live peaceably.

Beer Is Plentiful, Sells At Three Cents A "Schooner"; Nothing Between You And Your Thirst But The Ocean. By J. A. ROGERS Author of "Fram Superman To Man." Written Exclusively for the Nor- folk Journal and Guide In this article I will tell some of the French customs and how I will tell of some customs and how they differ from American ones. Coming from a country of legitimate to have a thirst one of the things that has struck me most is the enormous quantity of wine that is consumed. A French man takes wine with his meat as an American is supposed to water, and in the chaper restaurants you do. American one's Coming from a country where it is not legitimate to have a thirst one of the things that has struck me most is the one on the quantity of wine that is consumed. A French man takes wine with his meat as an American is supposed to take water, and in the chaper restaurants if you do not order wine you are charged extra on your bill. Dining with meal is such a fixed custom in France that I fancy the foes of "the Demon Rum," will have a rather hard job trying to introduce prohibition. Eating One of the most difficult things to an American used to a hearty feed in the morning is the French breakfast which consists only of rolls and coffee. It is difficult to get a substantial meal before 11:30. Unlike the American, restaurants are often served in boon, and about four hours in the evening. Food is about a third cheaper than in England and America, quality for quality. Many places serve an entire course, wine included for four frances or about 19 cents. But to eat in such places one must have a rather robust stomach. Tipping is the easiest way to serve the waiter he'd pretty soon tell you about it. When you go to the theatre, the usher expects a tip — it is her pay—and at the hotel, one-tenth of the price of your room is added to the bill for the chambermaid. The means of transportation in Paris is bus, subway and taxi. The latter are even more numerous than in New York City and ever so much cheaper. Taxis in Paris are almost as cheap as street cars, and four persons can ride from one end of the city to the other for about fifty cents. The public conveyance all have first and second classes. One can ride in Paris subway, second class for about two cents. But when you get to your station you'd better open the subway door yourself or you will be carried by. The same holds true when you are getting on. As was said the advocate of prohibition will find a virgin field to work in; so also the advocate of smoking as well as the great business day here—many of the places close on Monday, instead. In the markets large heaps of snails are on sale. I ate one for curiosity's sake. It was tough and then tasteless, and I have decided that so far as snails and oysters are concerned the little dears can on enjoy their lives. Wine, brandy, cognac, and beer are very cheap. You can get a quart of good wine for about ten cents. It is certainly comforting to move your Suhrm to the great American Suhrm to say this but the is that you can get a schooner of beer, (or schope as it is called here) for three cents. Is it any wonder that almost every fifth person one meets in Paris is an American? Omelette Without Eggs There is never a rule without an exception. You have heard the old saying: One can't make an omelette without breaking e.g. eggs. Well, it is all wrong. The other day, I stopped at a restaurant and ordered two boiled eggs. Soon waitress returns to say something about her hair. She could have an omelette. Well, I have found that when I don't quite understand the best way out to say "Oui." But when she had gone I reflected a bit. When the omelette came my curiosity at seeing it was about as far as I got with it. Speaking French is more than a notion. You start out to say one thing and you finish with another. This matter of a difference of language can be deep that even cats and dogs will not notice you if you call them in the English manner. And speaking of cats I am reminded to say that a black cat running across your track is a lucky No Color Line I can furnish you with any size second-hand tire you need at a reasonable price, also Vulcanizing.

It is not printed in the news- papers, published in books, ot taught. in schools and colleres, We may khow of a few Negroes who have. distinguished themselves from slavery. We may have heard of Crispus Attucks; “Paul Cuffee, Phyllis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass. Here is the ef of our knowledge. We are taught and male to believe our history began with landing’ of the shives “at Jamestown, that the cruel system fof slavery “has been blessing: in oar development rather than aizses nothing ix farther from the truth: “Time ‘will come wheng the ‘truth will be told and our past his. ‘tory will be written and told, to ‘our children and their childven's children.

OUR FAIR I shall try to attend the Fair daily and tell you my views of the greatest events that attracted my attention. I had to look after the very satisfactory arrangements that the kind-hearted management had given us for The Journal and Guide Booth. We also arranged our little habitat, and set up our kingdom by hanging out a few large bundles of the Guide and chairs. This was on Monday the 18th, the day before. We walked about and around the huge and spacious grounds, and saw what others should see. Here were people, folks, tents and even the famous "hobby-horses." Cook shops and hotels were being put up by the dozen. Now, I find Tuesday morning all bright and fair at 10 o'clock, and people coming from the four corners of our little world, looking about the same. It looks as if they were from everywhere but Suffolk. I must now go and hunt up the editor, and have him to inspect our booth, and think of about how much money we should take in; how many papers to sell; how many receipts to give for mail subscriptions, and so on. I shall tell you more about everything in next week's issue. I don't think it is worth it, but will put a special on it, to be sure that it leaves here. Shoulders Hill Mr. and Mrs. R. H.

RECENT INOVATION IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES (CONTRIBUTED) The treatment of disease by electricity is no longer in its experimental stage, but has become as fully established as with drugs.

Clafin's President Sees Hopeful Signs In Recent Events Clafin's President Sees Hopeful Signs In Recent Events Orangeburg, S. C.—Since the opening of Claflin's present school year several events have given evidence of a prosperous future for one of the oldest colleges for Negro youth in the State. Foremost among these signs is the friendly spirit, that is gradually being cemented by two colleges located here. An arrangement has been made this year where students matriculating in one of the schools may take courses in the other school and receive credit for the same where the student is matriculating. This spirit of cooperation puts at the disposal of the students advantages not to be obtained anywhere else in the State, Claffin, without the trades, and agricultural art can offer her students these courses thru this plan while State College can enjoy a reciprocal advantage in certain courses offered at Claffin. Two plants have resources of more than one and one half million dollars in the aggregate. During the past week another notable event gives much encouragement. The laymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church (North) met in session on the campus. In their recommendations they promise their unstinted support to raise a quota in Chalfin's new endowment drive. The enrollment, now surpasses any during the incumbency of the present President and is now made up almost entirely of High School and College Students. This is all the more significant when it is reasoned that many of the students heretofore at Chalfin were in the grammar school. Nothing seems to stay the idle of prosperity that the school now enjoys. Faculty, students and patrons give promise of a greater Chalfin. A live wire salesman for Virginia territory.

It is a splendid thing that 5,039 Hampton-Tuskegee alumni have contributed $211,900 to the endowment fund, as reported by Dr. Chhells' A. Austin, vice chairman of the fund. When we show that kind of disposition to help ourselves it encourages others to help us. We should all be glad that the sentiment in the South is increasing favoring more playgrounds for our children. All over the South we need more recreation centers and grounds and more parks and playgrounds. In crowded urban centers such outlets for the pent-up Utica of the young and old are absolutely essential. The whites find it even so for them and theirs and they should all the easier find it so for us and ours. We think they are doing so. Now, if all the sheriffs of the country had the same understanding of their obligation to protect prisoners committed to their keeping as, Sheriff Benjamin Fedderson of Atchison, Kansas, storming jails would go out of fashion at once. He does not understand why a man should be lynched for murder simply because he is a Negro and, arming himself with a riot gun and sitting down in front of the prisoner's door, he defied the mob and invited it to "come on." It did not "come." A man or woman who will carry about him $683,000 worth of diamonds and other precious stones is not only a very vain person but a person who invites thieves to break through and steal. When thieves do that, the victim should not complain and certainly should not expect any sympathy from decent people. All this happened to one of the Woolworth ten-cent store heiresses in New York recently. And she recovered the stolen gems. Bad luck haunts all jewelry and sooner or later its owner has more or less troubles. Outlook For Park Improves City Council on Tuesday appointed Ocilmen Martin and Robertson a special mittee to investigate the park situa. That means that there will be some fable action soon. Messrs.

Cutting the Automobile Bill City Manager Truxtun has had the age to use the pruning knife in the motor transportation department to the time of releasing 20 municipal cars to City Manager Truxtun has had the courage to use the pruning knife in the city's motor transportation department to the extent of relegating 30 municipal cars to the limbo of unused things. in so far as the city government is concerned. Consequently, Major Truxtun reduces the daily operating expense of the municipal government by an amount equal to the daily aggregate cost of operating those 30 automobiles. The City Manager will not incur the disfavor of the tax-payers through his latest economy stroke. Most of them will agree with his policy of lepping off all costly and dispensable items entering into the operating cost of the city government. Now that the city has found a way to ease the strain on the public pocketbook caused by extravagant transportation of city employees, it would be a good thing if the public should take its cue from this move and reduce its own transportation expenses. Certainly there are too many people riding in personally owned automobiles that ought to be riding in public conveyances or walking. The tendency to carry notes on cars instead of carrying notes on homes is a serious one, and affects no group more seriously than it does the colored American. There are too many instances in which our people are sacrificing more substantial possessions for the purchase and maintenance of automobiles. If one-half of the people who are buying automobiles and do not own their homes would transfer their payments from cars to real estate or educational refinements, great would be our jump in economic standing. instead of carrying notes on homes is a serious one, and affects no group more seriously than it does the colored American.

Another Endorsement of Negro History To the list of prominent persons, high in the councils of public education, who have expressed to the JOURNAL AND GUIDE a favorable disposition toward the teaching of Negro history in the public schools is added the name of Dr. William J. Clark, president of Virginia Union University. Dr. Clark like Dr. James Hardy Dillard, not only endorses the idea of the introduction of a systematic study of Negro history in the public schools, but to some extent has been actually putting it into practice. At the University he informs us, he has been endeavoring to develop a good course in Negro history for ten years. Last year Dr. Dillard distributed among Jeanes Teachers' books on the Negro for circulation among the teachers in the country. As has been previously pointed out in this column, the attitude of a number of prominent educators who have expressed theirselves on the subject of Negro history in the public schools, is a hopeful indication of the widening sphere of education as well as an attestation of the broad foundation upon which the scholarship of these educators rests. That there will be increasing interest in this subject to the end that it will early become a part of the public school curriculum la appears certain. Here, it is interesting to note that an eminent Negro historian, an unbiased scholar and a graduate of the best universities at present at work on a book that promises to be suitable Negro history text for students. That it will be given a fair appraisal when completed and placed into the hands of those who have to do with forming the policies of public education, we feel confident.

President Coolidge on Self-Glorification The man who has no pride of race, or family, of country, is a poor creature who makes a fetish of his pride in these things going so far as to exalt himself at their expense, is a tiresome creature who grows smaller and more inconsequential the more steadfastly you study him. The well balanced man has a proper estimate and appreciation of his own consequence as well as a proper appreciation of that of his neighbor his fellow-citizen, and never forgets that his rights cease where the rights of his neighbor begin. That there are so many people who think the other way bears out the theory that more than half the people or any given community are wrong in the bend,—some a heap, some a little,—and give their neighbors a lot of unnecessary trouble striving to make them respect the rights of others as they insist others shall respect theirs. President Coolidge has rendered the Nation no greater service than in slapping the "Self-Glorification" part of the citizenship squarely in its big mouth. We all should have proper pride in ourselves and our families and our Nation, but when we carry this so far as to disparage the same things, in our neighbors we are at fault and should be called to account. Among other things President Coolidge, in his Omaha speech said: The man who has no pride of race, of family, of country, is a poor creature who makes a fetish of his pride in these things, going so far as to exalt himself at their expense, is a tiresome creature who grows smaller and more inconsequential the more steadfastly you study him.

Among other things President Coolidge, in his Omaha speech said: "If we are to have that harmony and tranquility, that union of spirit which is the foundation of real national genius and national progress, we must all realize that there are true Americans who did not happen to be born in our section of the country, who do not attend our place of religious worship, who are not proficient in our language. If we are to create on this continent a free republic and an enlightened civilization that will be capable of reflecting the true greatness and glory of mankind, it will be necessary to regard these differences as accidental and non-essential. We shall have to look beyond the outward manifestation of race and creed. Divine Providence has not bestowed upon any race a monopoly of patriotism and character." No truer or braver words in citizenship and what makes a Nation great were ever spoken by a President, nor at a more opportune time. We are a great Nation because the 57 varieties of races and languages and religions which go into the making of our citizenship have all loved and fought for the flag from the beginning of our National life and each has done his share in developing the splendid resources of the country and getting as much out of the development for himself as possible.

In hustling for ourselves we have hustled for the Nation. In building our own fortunes we have built the fortunes of the Nation.

The Community Fund Next week the citizens of Norfolk will be called upon to underwrite their 1926 Community Fund, which is budgeted around $310,000. The campaign managers are workers who are this week laying plans to mapping out the city for the launching of an enthusiastic drive Wednesday morning, October 28, are girding themselves for an important crusade. Upon the success of the crusade will depend the comfort, possibly the existence of hundreds of our less fortunate neighbors—whom we have been directly admonished to love as we love ourselves through the long cold winter months. The budget for the colored agencies affiliated with the Fund has been fixed and proved at approximately $15,000. It is a significant to note that this amount constitutes less than one-twentieth of the total amount sought to be raised in the campaign while the Negro population ratio is about one-third of the total. In other words, 50,000 colored people of Norfolk have as many as 25 cents per capita per annum for chastity and social welfare, while the other group of approximately 100,000 citizens has budgeted their requirements for social welfare work at nearly $3.00 per capita an annum. This comparison grows more interesting when it is remembered that the economic status of Negroes is below that the whites—yet these figures show that either have proportionately less poverty our numbers or we engage into a great or less character building and human up enterprise. There is a good deal of money in the first probability, but the latter; nearly explains the wide disparity in budgets. The budget for the colored agencies certainly a modest one, and of this one it is pledged by the white people provided to subscribe and collect our half. That is, we must subscribe and pay in $7,500. The raising of that $7,500 and more the official campaign time is a dedication which the colored citizens of this city must subscribe. It must be done. Every one of us has in this campaign a duty inescapable. When the Chest Fund solicitor calls on you there is no need of dilly-dallying, or inviting him to return tomorrow or later. If your pledge the solicitors are after, not themselves but in order that some less fortunate person may taste of the comforts we which some of us are blessed. We must make the campaign a success.

Only one who has waded through many botched editions can appreciate the intelligence with which this book is put together. Mr. Johnson has selected his songs with discrimination and had them decently printed. With the aid of Messrs. J.

SAYS RACE'S FUTURE DEPENDS ON THOSE MIGRATING AS WELL AS THOSE WHO STAY The Dukes as Southern Master Builders Editor Journal and Guide. Sir:Permit me to make a few observations anent that Ayo-American editorial on Negro migration from the South, and the Journal AND Guide's reply to it. May I suggest that there is an element of truth on both sides, and that the future safety, prosperity and happiness of the Negro in this country are inseparably dependent upon those who migrate as well as upon those who "dig in." There has always been an element of truth in the old adage, that "the who fights and runs away may live to fight another day." Spartans who perished at Thermopylae were a glorious band, celebrated in song and story; but Sparta perished. Xenophon's immortal Ten Thousand retreated from Asia, and the Persians, as Negroes are escaping from the South and Ku Kluxes. Yes, but the Greeks returned, under Alexander the Great of Macedon, in less than 100 years, and conquered the Persian world. The Negro cannot afford to be the only man who has no respect for the hardy pioneers who leave familiar scenes to take their chances in unknown, and at times, harder climes. The Puritans and Pilgrims and Cavaliers left less irksome conditions in Europe, where they were better situated materially, and came to the American wilderness, and monuments to their courage, and achievements, extend from Plymouth, Mass., to St. Augustine, Fla. Fred Douglass fed from Virginia and slavery to arouse the North against "man's inhumanity to man," and succeeded. He was no renegade and needed no sympathy, nor pit. Neither do more than a million others who are making their homes, and carving their destinies on this side of Mason and Dixon's line. Let us examine it from this viewpoint: There are many thoughtful Negroes, still in the South, who chafe under conditions there which get on their nerves "even as they are on ours most of the time" (to quote the JOURNAL AND GUIDE editorial). They believe in casting down their buckets where they are in the optimistic hope that eventually their presence, industry, sobriety and worth will have a most telling effect. BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE If half the intelligence and time devoted to race problems and how to keep "the Negro down," in the Southern States since the monopoly in controlling the politics of the South, at whatever cost, had been devoted to the development of the splendid resources of the South and in helping to create a sentiment of fellowship and helpfulness among its people, there would be no place on the earth so prosperous and happy as the Southern States. Respect for law and legal process and a spirit of toleration and helpfulness would have created a sentiment of independence, based upon respect and confidence, among the people which would have developed an incomparable citizenship and placed the Southern States in the forefront of the states of the Nation in intelligence and wealth. But, "not even the future o'er the past has power; what has been has been." These thoughts have been induced by the death of James Buchanan Duke of North Carolina, at the age of 68; and the work he did, with Washington Duke, his father, as Southern master builders of business and healthy public sentiment. While others busied themselves with politics and strife breeding in order to control politics, the Dukes went quietly about building up their own fortunes by developing the splendid business opportunities about them. Washington Duke came out of the war of secession with a poor little farm and two blind mules and four children. He turned to tobacco raising. When he was fourteen years old, instead of going to college, as his father desired that he should; young James Buchanan entered Saturday, October 24, 1925 It has told tremendously since 1865. Illiteracy has been reduced almost to a minimum. More than $1,500,000,000 in cash, securities and real estate has been acquired, businesses have been established, trades learned and developed, learned professions entered upon, and followed most successfully, and they see an almost Pentecostal light in the distance as education, and toleration and Christian charity and cooperation increase. But how can the Negro in the South protect his property and his life and liberty when he has surrendered himself entirely to the charity and mercy of his white fellow citizens? What vigilance can he exercise as the price of safety there? There are hopeful determined Negroes, who believe that all Soutkerners are not rapacious wolves, and all Negroes are not helpless limbs. There are many good friends of the Negro among the white people of the South, men who would give every right to the Negro citizen they exercise for themselves. But they are, concededly, in pitiful minority. Some influence will be exerted hereafter, as it has been heretofore, by such men, in cooperation with the thoughtful, and stick-toive Negro element at the South, of whom the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is justly so proud, to better conditions for both the Negro and the white man in the South. But don't forget that no man has yet been able to pull himself out of a hole by tugging at his own boot straps. And this is equally true of a race, any race. Plagues from outside were required to free the ancient Israelites from the stranglehold the Egyptians had upon them. And the cooperation of the Israelites was also just as imperative. They fled the country in the greatest exodus ever recorded. The only parallel, in the aggregate though not in one migration, is that which so troubles the JOURNAL AND GUIDE when it feels "a form of sympathy, which is not far removed from pity," and its near neighbor, "contempt." But don't forget also that this phase of the migration's ultimate result: The more such migration from the South the stronger will be the influence that can be exerted by the Negro in the North to improve conditions for those who remain in the South. It will work at least two ways, inevitably. First, it will automatically reduce political representation in Congress for those who use such representation to his father's tobacco firm and began that splendid career which built up, the American Tobacco Company, which was succeeded by the British American Tobacco Company, virtually controlling the tobacco output of the world. In it all James Buchanan Duke was a live wire influence until his death. After consolidating the tobacco interests of the Nation, and amassing a vast fortune, Mr. Duke turned his attention to the development of the water power of North Carolina, and produced wonders which have contributed much to make North Carolina one of the richest and most progressive states in the Nation. Development of tobacco and water power enabled Mr. Duke to give $10,000,000 in one lump for higher education in North Carolina, but he and his father have always been liberal contributors to the educational necessities of those about them. And they did not draw the color line in the gifts for educational and charitable uplift work. They gave aid and encouragement to whites and blacks alike. And they made work and wages for thousands of both races? Is not that a good work for any man to engage in? It helped to build up the people of the localities in which the industrial developments were located and they helped to develop the resources of North Carolina in such a way as to make it one of the rich states of the Nation. The Dukes were Southern master builders in the broadest sense. They were more: They were not selfish money getters who lived to and for themselves alone. They took the people who had helped them make their wealth into partnership with bar the Negro from his legitimate aspirations. It will add to the political power of those who can be influenced by voting Negroes to fight to establish, and vindicate the status as free American citizens of those who are not permitted to vote in the South. If one congressman is allowed for every 250,000 Negro inhabitants and, say, 6,000,000 Negroes leave the South, they remove from the South 24 Congressmen, for whose support they are taxed but do not represent them, and are inimical to their many aspirations. It means the addition of 24 Congressmen to the sections to which the migrating Negroes go, a comparative loss of 48 electoral votes for the South. It means something also from the economic point of view. When Rachael lost her children she wept and refused to be comforted because they were not, the scriptures say. The Negroes of the South are as much the children of the South as are the whites. That section's prosperity is as inseparably linked with theirs. Undoubtedly, some of the improved material conditions the larger and better schools, longer school terms and increasingly large number of better paid teachers in the South—are but reflections of the South's awakening to the loss she is suffering, and the greater losses that will follow unless she does something worthy to stem the migration tide. And even more will be done, of course. With increasing pressure exerted by the increasing number of Negroes at the North, who are neither unmanly, nor un-Negro, and still have faith in God and desire to do everything possible to aid their brethren in their afflictions by using political leverage at the North, and the earnest, honest efforts of those who prefer to stay and work out their salvation, may be "in fear and trembling," at the South a better era is coming, may even be said to be dawning. Recrimination. Mr. Editor, is not helpful. Many men, of many nuids, make up this imperfect world, and our imperfect race. The best among us, in my opinion, are doing their best, as God gives them the light to see it, to elevate the race, by bringing to bear every element, every power they can influence, whether in the North, South, East, or West. We differ on methods, not in desires. --JOHN C. MINKINS Providence, R. L. them by sharing with them the accumulations of their joint thought and labor. What lesson does the life of James Buchanan Duke teach the young Negro, who has nothing but a common school or college education to start life with? That a common school or college education is not necessary to success, as it was not in the case of Mr. Duke and as it had not been in the case of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Education should be a great help, but if the stuff is not in the boy it will not show in the life of the man. What the Negro boy needs to do is to do what Mr. Duke and Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglass did, make the most of the abundant opportunities he will find on every side of him. Work hard; learn all of the ins and outs of the work you are about; save your money, and, when the time is ripe, go into the business you know most about and stick to it until you succeed. BUSINESS TALKS Even though businesses may fail, or lose their identity with the race, such as the Brown and Stevens banking failure of Philadelphia, and the passing of the Standard Life of Atlanta, to the control of white financiers, we cannot stop launching enterprises. All of these failures have lessons that can be learped by those who wish to. In the case of the Brown and Stevens banking failure, the cause was due to pyramiding and to top-heavy loans in real estate. The Standard Life trouble was due to a diversity of interest, and at a needed time they could not concentrate effectively on any one line. As has been stated, we cannot stop launching an prises; to stop would be economic suicide. Within fifty years, Negro population in America will be twenty-five million, white population, one hundred and fifty million or more. If have not expanded our prises so that we may be able take up the slack in our labor problem, we will be fronted with a race problem to be very acute. Out of forty hundred businesses launch fail before the fifth year of the remaining ten, eight organized or merged with other concerns or lose their identity. The other two will succeed be close competitors in their of endeavor; it will be seen this that all business cannot succeed; besides the trend is treating always towards larger se production with narrow mark of profit. It will be evident seen, by this article, that fail in business is not peculiar to race group, but is the main economic process of elimination the trained and incomplete. We must fail and try again cause every game has its ru which must be learned, and only be learned by constant application, and only in proportion as we are able to apply our acquired science in business duct, just that much nearer success we will be.
