Norfolk Journal and Guide Community Fund Workers Still Hopeful Of Making Grand Finish Of Drive Severe October Weather Has Proved A Serious Handicap To Solicitors; Spurt Shown As Fair Weather Dawns. Although the weather, unusually severe for October in this part of the country, has seriously handicapped the Community Fund workers, they with the director are showing an undaunted spirit, and during the latter part of the week have sought to stage a strenuous comeback AN OPEN LETTER TO THE NEGRO LEADERS OF NORFOLK On Wednesday afternoon when the reports were submitted to this newspaper, a little more than $5,000 had been raised in pledges and cash by the colored campaign workers. Even though this amount is more than $5,000 short of the goal of $8,500, the campaign committee is still hopeful of making a grand finish. A new lease on life seems to have been taken by the military organization representing the Campaign Committee of the colored division of the Community Fund Drive Tuesday, following the second rallying banquet Monday night at Queen Street Baptist Church. Some of the Majors and their units that had not shown much fight in the early stages of the battle rallied under the war cry of the Director General in a way that threatened to wretch the control of leadership from the seasoned majors, who had held places in the front ranks since the beginning of the battle. Conspicuous among these was Major Mary Cooke of Zone Q, who as a result of a strenuous day's campaign came from tenth place on the diagram to fourth place. Major Cooke has staged a comeback that promises to endanger the position of the foremost commander in the field. Contest Is Lively Major W. A.

THOMAS Director of Colored Community Fund This letter is addressed to the leaders of our group of the city of Norfolk and vicinity. By leaders is meant the foremost thinkers, the class of people in our group that has been favored with opportunities above the average including the professional and business men and women, the energy, outstanding mechanics, artisans and the leaders in the fraternal organizations. As you know the city of Norfolk including all race events has been engaged in a past fortnight in a united financial campaign for the purpose of raising sufficient money in one drive to enable the several participating organizations, eight of which operate among and for colored people, to operate and function for the next twelve months, unhampered and to good effect. The Aggregate Budget The aggregate budget of all the organizations amount in round numbers to $810,000. The combined budgets of the eight Negro agencies amount in round number to $15,000. The white people have agreed to give dollar for dollar delivery dollar raised for the budgets by the colored people including campaign expenses. The amount of money necessary to be raised among our group is $8,500. This amount of money raised by and for a community population of upwards of 60,000 people represents a very small amount per capita. It must be understood that the large majority of these 60,000 represents persons of small earnings with no surplus income. We must expect At a meeting of the Colored Community Chest Fund workers Wednesday afternoon it was decided to continue the campaign through Monday, with the hope of making up for some of the time lost on account of incessant rains during the first days of the drive. squadron was organized and sent out to find Major Thompson, Major Evans, Major Blacken and Major Johnson, who had not been heard from since the battle began. It is hoped they have not been taken prisoners by the enemy of defeat. Major M. B, Brown, Zone P, and Major Sallie Dickey, Zone A, were reported to be staging a comback, Major Ruth Bass, Zone D, showed surprising gains in her finals. Major W. M, Byrd, Zone E, was making steady gains on Major Drake at the close of the day. Major Eleanor W, Young, Zone C, had considerable lead on Major Bass. Schools Stage Rivalry The J. C. Price Public School, whose position had been taken by the Lambert's Point School, which went over a hundred and eight per cent lead on Monday, swung into lead again Tuesday night when one hundred and eight per cent of its quota. This is the second time that the J. C. Price School has instructed the dogan, being the first to adopt the dogan. "The dogan the maximum gift of every student, since the minimum of every teacher." The Abraham Lambert School and the Lotte Carey School both adopted the dogan and pledged one hundred per cent. The total contributions of the division on Tuesday was upward of $260. This being the grand total slightly above $2,000. All the campaign units under the major took the field Wednesday morning "with blood in their eyes." The thirteen teachers of the Lambert's Point School all scribed in a faculty meeting held at the school Monday night. None of them gave less than $2,066. Not (Continued on Page Eight) therefore that the major part of this money shall come from those of our group who are sufficiently secure in our social order to be in position to lend a helping hand and give aid and assistance through the welfare agencies for which this money is being raised. Some of these persons in the above classification have given in accordance with their ability and income. On the contrary a large number of colored men and women in Nortolk have the ability to give have not given in proportion. To this extent the campaign has not been a success. We talk a good deal about our rights and about equality. We too often demonstrate that we mean the receiving of equal consideration with other people rather than sharing equal responsibility. Until our passion for equality includes both receiving and sharing nobody will take us seriously and the attitude of other people toward us will remain unchanged. The soapbox orators to the contrary notwithstanding. Race Is On Trial Our race is on trial in this campaign. We shall be judged not by what we have but what we do with it. We must decide within the next few days whether there is enough social vision and socialized intelligence in Norfolk to raise in a united effort for all the accredited organized welfare institutions $5,500 from 60,000 people. I know you want to receive equal treatment and consideration. HOW MUCH WILL YOU SHARE IN THE RESPONSIBILITY IN KEEPING ALIVE THE SE AGENCIES? NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1925 SLEEPING CAR MEN NOT SOLID ON NEW UNION Older Workers Said To Look Askance Upon Efforts To Foster Upon Them Another Organization. Washington, D. C., Nov. 4—In the opinion of older Pullman porters, there is no necessity for further organization of them, according to what is regarded as reliable information gathered in various sections of the country, at the reports reaching here. They point out that there is already in existence an organization of Pullman porters as well as an agreement between the Pullman Company and the porters providing for the settling any disputes that may arise between them, it is stated. Benefit Organization The Pullman Porters Benefit Association was organized in 1915. It began by the organization of zone associations. It now has more than 8,000 members it is claimed. It maintains local ballets in the principal cities. Its object as stated is to promote the welfare social activities and fraternal spirit of the members. It will hold its next annual session, a delegation convention, in Chicago, November 21, next. Officers of Association The officers of this association are Perry Parker, Cincinnati; T. M. Blunton, Philadelphia; J. M. Sexton, New Orleans; R. L. W. Williams, San Francisco; L. F. Smith, Chicago; J. F. Freeman, New York and T. A. Crenshaw, St. Louis. The effort of A. Philip Randolph and Roy Lennender to effect a new organization is said not looked upon with favor. The older porters state they can see good that it might accomplish, inasmuch as there is already in existence an agreement for the adjustment of differences involving grievances or working conditions. They are said to look with assurance upon Mr. Randolph, who is regarded as a Socialist, and Mr. Lancaster, a former porter. According to these older men in the service, it is said, the employees representation plan, which is an operation, affords them all the benefits that could be derived through any organization. Besides, they say the present plan is less costly as the payment of no joining fee or monthly dues is required as is being required for membership in the proposed organization. In fact, these porters are wanting to know why it should require $8 each from 12,000 of them to organize the reports further state. The Representative Plan The employees representation plan is said to be in conformity with the Labor Board Act creating the Railroad Labor Board and providing for the arbitration of disputes. This act charges carriers which include sleeping car companies, and employees with the duty of settling disputes in conference, and this plan was agreed upon by the Pullman Company and its porters for the sole purpose of adjusting any differences that might arise involving grievances, rules or working conditions. In regard to wages, these porters take the view that the same agency as now in the event of the failure of the adjustment board to reach a decision, would hear disputes with respect to wages under Randolph's plan. That agency is the Railroad Labor Board, created by an act of Congress. These older men declare that the salary Randolph is telling the porters he will obtain for them if they will join his proposed organization is impossible, it is declared, for the reason that it would necessitate a substantial readjustment of sleeping car fares. Wilson Warns Porters The latest person to issue a warning against the proposed organization is J. Finley Wilson. Grand Excalibur Ruler of the Improved Beneficent Protective Order of Elfs of the World. In a proclamation just issued he says: "While upholding the right of any body of men to organize for their own welfare, we take this occasion to warn brothers every where of the menace to our Chesterfield by organization of people who are sworn to tear down that which we are sworn to uphold. "Let it be understood, we do not oppose organization of colored radi (Continued on Page Eight) FOOTBALL RESULTS V. N, & L. L, 3; Shiw, 7 Va. Sem, 20; St. Paul, 3 Howard, 70; N. C.

Mr. Frank McLaughlin, vice president of the V. E. P. Company, in discussing the unified transportation ordinance this week, stated that this company, in the past had not been able to expand its transportation system so as to meet the growing needs of the community, but that unified transportation meras community development. The new management, he says, is engaged in an effort to place the company on a basis that will enable it to anticipate and meet the growing needs of Norfolk. Twenty-one of the most prominent civic organizations of the city have endorsed the unified plan, says Mr. McLaughlin, and are working for its success, because they realize in this a new opportunity to add to the growth and happiness to all of the people of Norfolk, regardless of race. The company's motto is: "To Best Serve All," he says, and that motto will be adhered to here as elsewhere the company controls street transportation. "This community," says Mr. McLaughlin, is marching on to progress, and the coordination of street cars and buses will accelerate that march. ASK COLORED POLICE TO AID IN CRIMESERIES Asheville Citizens Present Charges of Daily Paper That They Had Not Discharged Their Duty. Asheville, N. C. - Stirred by the charges of the Asheville Citizen that Negroes of this city had not taken a stand opposing the series of criminal assaults committed here against white women by alleged members of the race, the colored people met in a press meeting in the N. M. L. lboro Sunday afternoon to discuss the best methods of meeting the tense situation caused by the alleged crimes. L. Lawrence Oxley, State Supervision of Weifl. L. Work Among Negro population of the city was ing, and he among others urged cool heads during the excitement. Open ; sentiment against the Negro population of the city was voiced by several of those at the meeting. It was recommended that if the city would appoint some colored men as law officers, the race could better aslist in coping with the situation of alleged lawlessness. No formal action was taken at the meeting, its chief purpose being apparently to acquaint the colored people of the city as to what had been done during the present crisis, and to put them in the proper frame of mind to face the events of the week. Total of two of the men charged with assaults upon white women were scheduled for this week.

FIGHT American Fund For Public Service Aids Advancement Association In Fight For Civil Rights For The Race. New York, N. Y.—The American Fund for Public Service, known also as the Garland Fund, has given outright $5,000 to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Defense Fund, and $15,000 more has been offered on condition that the N. A. A. C. P. raises $30,000 to meet it—that is $2.00 for every dollar given by the Garland Fund. Johnson Issues Appeal In announcing the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Defense Fund Campaign, James Weldon Johanson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said: "Are 12,000,000 Negroes in America ready to back up the N. A. A. C. P. in the fight for liberty and the common rights of citizenship for every colored man, woman and child in America? If so, now is the time to act. "White friends of the Negro's cause are on the firing line. The Directors of the Garland Fund have given $5,000 outright. They offer $15,000 more, if we will raise two dollars to their one, thus completing a fund of $50,000. That ought to be easy for the colored people of America. Surely they have $30,000 and more to invest in citizenship rights for themselves and their children. Now or Never It is now or never. We are facing the gains.

Both teams are on edge for this game and will give folks here a sample of some honest-to-goodness footballing. Both squads are, about evenly matched, just enough so, to display a brand of football that is seldon seen in this section. Their First Battle Here This game marks the first to be played in Norfolk between these ancient rivals and holds prospects of being staged here each following year. Shaw and Hampton always play hard games against each other and put up battles that are worthy of the attention of the most discrimination. Indications point to a much better game this year, because of the fact that both teams are more determined to be in the C. I. A. A. race until the final gun. Hampton has been ranking with the good ones ever since she's been in the running, and has been able to stand head and shoulders above the best in the offing. Hampton has been a menace to all teams in the association since its formation, about thirteen years ago. She has held the highest honors on many occasions, when the curtains were dropped on the scene. Shaw has never held the title since she has been in the C. I. A. A. and she was one of those schools that were represented when the association was formed, but this year the crimson machine comes to the fore with a little some- Now or Never SWEE VOTE TO APPROVE UNIFICATION Colored Methodists Of North Carolina Overwhelmingly For North And South Unity. The North Carolina Conference of Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, which closed its session in Grossepointe last week, by vote approved unification of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South with the Methodist Episcopal Church, North. The vote of the clergy was 71 for and four against, while the lay vote was 75 to 0 for unification. The conference approved a plan for starting a $100,000 endowment for Barnett College at once, with the view of making it a junior college. As the first step in this plan, $11900 was subscribed to bring the library of the college to junior college requirements. SEES TRACTION MONOPOLY IN UNIFIED PLAN Bussmen Declare Power Company Need Not Extend Service Until 8 Per Cent On Investment Is Earned. Officials of the Colored Bus Association represented to the journal and Guide this week that even though under the ordinance which their bushes operate, they are permitted to charge a seven-cent fare, but charge only five cents and will continue to do this in event the unified transportation ordinance is defeated at the polls, and they are permitted to continue to operate. These officials also see in the success of the unified transportation plan a monopoly for the traction company created by the vote of the people, a monoply which they content will deprive reputable colored citizens of a transportation system they have built up for the exclusive accommodation of colored people, without compensation save a nominal appraisal value of their equipment.

Shaw Meets Tough Foe Shaw meets a tough foe in Hampton. If Hampton's teams are poor, fair, good or excellent, they always have plenty to offer the Carolina eleven. It seems that these two schools run neck and neck each year. If Hampton has a team below her average, Shaw is caught off and vice versa. These eleven always stage fierce battles and there is never a very big margin either way when the scoring is finished for the day. From games played since 1920, Hampton has the edge with Shaw trailing not very far in the background. Shaw teams have been wrecked for some time and it seems that they have been unable to get a footing for some reason, but the aggregation, this year, has the real earmarks of a team that bears little toleration. It seems that Shaw is finding herself and will soon hold the place she once hold (Continued on Page Eight) Largest Circulation In The South PRICE 7 CENTS T CASE WHITE BISHOP URGES RACE TO COMMUNISM Dr. William M. Brown Lauds Radicalism And Flays Modern Church Before Negro Labor Congress. DEPOSED OUT OF Chicago, Ill., Nov. 5—A crowd of Negroes, mostly of foreign birth, and a few whites attending the American Negro Labor Congress, held here last week, enthusiastically cheered declarations of William Montgomery Brown, deposed Protestant Episcopal bishop, favoring Communism and racial equality in an address before the conference Tuesday night. "Long live Communism!" he shouted. "Long live the American Negro on an equal footing with Caucasians in things—industrially and economically, politically and educationally." Among other things, Bishop Brown said: "I was railroaded out of the House of Bishops at New Orleans; or perhaps I was Jim Crowed. Capitalism is politically bankrupt; the church supporting it is religiously bankrupt. Communism is sure to come. The only religion is the desire to make the most out of life. "There is more hope for the workers in the international labor defense movement than in any other. The social system is now enslaving you. You are not trying to overthrow society, as capitalism avers, you are trying to liberate it from ignorance, class prejudice and hatred, ruin and oppression." moral authority to support you. from the supernatural. I do not want you to conclude for a moment that church is bad even though it generally supports capitalism against efforts to free the workers. U. N. I. A. Saves Body From Pauper's Grave The body of Mr. Duncan Smith, a member of Chapter No. 22, U. N. I. A., who died October 25, was saved from a pauper's grave by his follow-members of the association, who contributed $50,00 toward his burial, with a pledge to contribute $30,00 more within thirty days, according to report made by Rev. W. T. Dales, president of the Chapter. It is reported to the Journal and Guide that through the efforts of Miss Watkins of Rest Over, United Charities, Preemonaster street, the body of an old colored man named Duncan Smith, received a decent burial. Mrs. Laura Titus, who evidently was instrumental in having the body buried, thinks the D. A. Payne Class for a donation of $2.50. B. F. Lee Class for $3.00, of St. John Church and a friend for $5.0. Other white and colored persons are said to have contributed. Undertaker Hale is also said to have aided in the funeral expense, and Dr. P. S. Schenck is said to have donated the grave. "REDCAPS" ENDOW SCHOLARSHIPS $200 A Year Provided For Sons Of Porters To Further Their Education.

With a hard fought, evenly contested grid battle far spent, each warrior silhouetted against a grey-black background, occasioned by the black clouds that threw a gloomy pall over the entire landscape, a constant downpour of rain that made the field heavy and soggy, chilly October brews sweeping down the plains, keeping the willy-eyed fans stamping their feet and swinging arms to keep warm, the Fighting Bookers rose to the supreme test and humbled the Dunbar eleven, Southeastern champions of 1924, in an impressive style at a score of 7-0. This victory strengthens Booker Washington's position in the championship race and gives a real line on what kind of squad the local school has produced. Never in the history of the school has it mounted to the heights attained in the athletic realm, in the past few years, Booker Washington's high school team has been sweeping before it, some very stiff, opposition and moving on up where the good ones mingle and join in the mad revelry of victorious accomplishments in Washington is in the running now, and is fast taking her place with the best of high school grid warriors. The feat accomplished at League Park Friday can justly be labeled as one of the Fighting Bookers' most gala, scintillating and pre-eminent accomplishments since the institution of football as a phase of the school's athletic activities and it is just a matter of time when the school will stand head and shoulders a bove all schools of the newly formed Southeastern association of high schools if the maroon tide can carry on through the storms that are yet to come. Squads Play Heady Game Squats Play Heavy Game. Both of these squats who appeared evenly matched, man for man, line for line, backfield for backfield and team for team, played one of the bestest games displayed on the local lot by any high school eleven. Neither team tried to outride Jupiter Pluvius, who seemed to unleash his fury in fendish delight, but played the game that was appropriate under such atmospheric conditions. From the first whistle to the final "bang" of the timer's firearm, it was a kicking duel, replete with excellent kicking, in which department, the visiting aggregation only had the edge. But Booker Washington was able to keep the ball out of the danger zone when Dunbar serious to threatened. The wet and heavy field proved a hindrance to both squads, as neither was able to get under way in full force before enclosing tacklers stepped the runners almost in their tracks. It could be plainly seen that the visiting clogged had something up its sleeve, but conditions presented such from slipping down, and for this reason the rivals reported to a safe and same battle, putting up a still stubborn fight to keep each other in check. In this manner, the game sagged up and down the field, with first one and then the other driving hard to get in the other's territory, freezer, and each Putting was team kicked numerous times on the first down to send the soggy slippery piskin souring far down in the enceint's territory, only to find it come lifting back to whence it had come. Dunbar pounded the Booker's line for some nice gains and first downs at times, but the local eleven held in the pinches and forced the opposing team to release the oval. The Bookers also got off with some good yardage to register first downs, but we're forced to do the same thing required of Dunbar. The game seemed so evenly matched that it was a consensus of cock-eyed guesses that the scramble would go up in a deadlock and it remained this way for three grunling quarters and far up in the fourth, before a tally was registered. It was in this frame, the fourth, when the dark clouds became darker, the rain continuing to pour forth its wet drops of dampness and the dark grey prevailed making each grid warrior hardly distinguishable. The Fighting Booker came through, in their race against time which was fastly being spent, to score the touchdown of the meter and clinch the victory. Booker Washington's score came late in the final quarter after an exchange of punts and "Bob" Tollierv, on a fake kick formation ripped off 30 yards down the side line placing the bell on Dunbar's 35 yard line. From this pain: Washington opened up its unstop attack with all of its weasel lentless fury. Several attempts were made before Tolliver connected with a long winding one from Johnson and raced the rest of the distance unaided for the winning score. Johnson added the extra point by a drop kick and the game was won at 7-0. Johnson the fleet and shifty quarter of the Fighting Bookers was held in check Friday. The heavy field proved too much for the Berkley Express and he was nailed before he could get his footing on numerous occasions, but "Bob" Tolliver and W. Tolliver added tash to the game, both getting off with some runs. The former was off three times on fake kick formations to annex from 20 to 30 yards. The game was featured by the Miss C. M.

A. is a rather close one with nearly all of the squads making a brilliant stand at this point. Union is leading the fray in this neck of the woods, with Seminary forging ahead of Hampton to take second place in the grand scramble. Whether she will remain ahead, is yet to be borne out. She only has two more association games and these two are tough assignments. Seminary meets Union and Shaw in Shaw in a row, her Thanksgiving game being with Bluefield Institute. Next down the line comes the Seasiders. A week of idleness helped to shove Hampton down in third place, with one won, one lost and one tie game. A. and T. has credit, while Union and Seminary carry on with three won, no loss, no tie and two won, one loss and no tie games respectively. Hampton seemed to be one of those eleven who would be there when the roll is called. Hampton has three more tough games before the schedule is spent and she meets worthy fees in Shaw, A. and T. and Union. These games might prove too much for the Seasiders and they are likely to fall out on the way side. Shaw takes third place with one won, one lost and one tie game marked to her credit.

PAUL SCORE 20-0 Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 21—Virginia Seminary overwhelmed the St. Paul eleven before an enthusiastic crowd on Russell Field today, 20 to 3. An inadequate air defense and poor offensive judgment contributed largely to the downfall of the celebrated "wonder team." Three times Virginia Seminary cleats engraved their imprint on the territory behind St. Paul's goal posts while only once was the Tiger able to generate enough fervor to score, and that score was via a field goal from the 25 yard line. In generalship, elusiveness and throwing of the forward pass, Melvin Wheedle was in a class to himself. This All-American quarterback is, beyond any doubt, the best in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Brown, Perry, Tucker and Polk were outstanding players in Seminary's triple trophy today. Hudson's putting and all-round playing was unexcelled. Baker's Byrd's and Pierce's running back points and their defensive and off- ensive playing was scillating. Captain Boykins, Williams, J. Olive Bannister, Blackwell and Hall, Scribler and Smith played a bril- liant game. THE LINEUP St. Paul -- 2 Va. Seminary--20 Bannister L. E. Walker Blackwell L. T. Jeffries Williams L. G.

Morgan directed an ef- fective special attack, which at times seemed to battle the Penn- sylvania. Morgan took advantage of every opportunity, going thru every opening that presented, and where none were presented, at- tempted to find a way thru. Lin- coln, beech playing a hard driv- ing game in different forms found difficulty in presenting an orga- ged attack, and many glaring weekends appeared, particularly in foreseeing passing. Both teams used huddle system throughout the game. Morgan em- ployed on nearly every play. It is hardly likely that Lincoln will use it to any great extent during the balance of the season, because his disadvantages were made too appear at Saturday. At times it seemed more of a drawback than a help, by the first play, too much time is used, and when this huddle breaks up, there is some little confusion in forming the line. It was used by Lincoln for the first time this season in the Morgan team. Neither half scored during the first half. Near the end of the third period, Morgan scored the first touchdown of the game thru a pass from Clark to Hill, who encroached thirty yards across the goal line. Young failed in his attempt to make the extra point, but it was later given to Morgan, because of Lincoln being declared offside. Lincoln rallied in the fourth period, and Anderson then repeated nine plunges made an advance of from 50 to 60 yards for a touchdown. The line plunging of Morris is also worthy of commotion. Anderson kicked goal after touchdown, then advancing up the score. LINCOLN Morgan ... Lanceolus ... 7 McIntyre L. E. Lancaster Williams L. T. Myers Chase L. G. Givens Gandy C. Grasty Fisher R. G.

Yet, between a 90m and 100m suckers fell for the flasco in spite of can reflect no credit on Wills and Johnson and jumbo sackers tell for the kinds of the experts and critics—yes, pride about, why don't these sports fans from fraud and a lot of other some fans ignore the danger slight wheat before a scythet? One queer affair and many more of them the game a very, very black eye and other pushers will find the going still rarer as it is, pray commit no more severe commission has clamped the lid on Johnson. By this, he and his manageable for the poor showing in that a wonder Wills escaped the great responsible for such an affair, together manager, as Floyd Johnson and the few favors. Why so? Ha! thought you to make a fight. If Paddy Mullins beatch of that kind, there never would a mole. Mullins and Wills knew as and erites that Johnson had been out of such a nuch when he was. Wills should have forseen the result on the fickle fight publicer. Johnson, much at that, coming from out of the leading contender for the joke, more widely known as Jack Harrison Bempsey, frequently caution of prize fighters and more appalled and also included the man macker, wasn't Wills fight somebody who can hit if he licks them? Why not Gomee Godfrey, he a wort give a good fight? Why not a night-by-night trial horse and other legion? That's a question for you. I know of the few who are at the top. LOCAL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION on an foot to organize that food budged some time ago in the colliery. It has been suggested to an organization of foot ball coaches. The organ教练 would go in long ways to the times that game in here and when everything is in a state of harmony towards one objective to up the game and reaching amenable artery. most of those who officiate in games are connected with a team, an organizer two would not bring the results desired that officials organize to aid in and insure teams of competent arbiter are separate and distinct individuals would soon find that matter would arise a situation would soon come about that he owed the other nothing, and justified. It might seem rather late in materialize such plans, but the time better time than now. To begin at wn would be in fine working order which is sheltered in. Of course, the activities did not have to be restricted to football other sports that are conducted in official offices and this has been evidenced there will be basketball he will, no doubt take its place among season is on its way, so is base ball who could serve as well in the mention of information can be obtained in his column. between 10,000 and 100,000 sackers tell for the maze in the advance warnings of the experts and critics—again, some treble-minded persons praise about, why don't these sport, writing guys try to protect the fans from fraud and a lot of other hollow. How can they when these same fans ignore the danger signs and fail for the wheat before a sack? of robbery was the wicked bouts. This was one queer affair and many more of such fluky bouts will give the game a very, very black eye and our Senegambian leather pushers will find the going still rougher. It is rough enough as it is, it pray commit no more such fares. The New Jersey commission has chapped the lid on the activities of Floyd Johnson. By this, he and his manager are held Chiefly responsible for the poor showing in that miserable scrap. It is a wonder Wills escaped the greasy rollers. He is as much responsible for such an affair, together with his sphinxlike manager, as Floyd Johnson and the pilot of his脊髓际 endeavors. Why so? Ha! thought you'd ask that It takes two to make a fight. If Paddy Mullins had not consented to a match of that kind, there never would have been a Wills-Johnson melee. Mullins and Wills knew as well as the fight experts and critics that Johnson had been out of the run ning. He was not a such-a-much when he was. Mullins and Wills should have foreseen the result of a fight of the kind thrust upon the fickle light public. Johnson, a has been, who has never been much at that night, coming from out of nowhere, going to less, in a fight with the leading contender for the rusty crown of Hizzomer Jack De Doe, more widely known as Jack Dempsey, sometimes called William Harrison Dempsey, frequently called the world's heavyweight champion of prize fighters and more appropriately called Jack, the Dodge and also labeled the 'man macker', was a grand insult, insided. Why doesn't Wills fight somebody who can help to boost his batting average if he bicks them? Why not Gene Tunney, he's a logical contender? Why not George Godfrey, he's a worthy opponent and a man that will give a good fight? Why not somebody, besides sets up pushovers, fly-by-night trial horses and other lesser lights in the firmament of kingdom? That's a question for you. Is it possible that Wills is giving some of the few who are at the top the run around? It seems that way. Plans are about on food to organize that food both officers association which was neglected some time ago in this column. In addition to an official association it has been suggested to make the organization jointly an organization of food ball coaches. These two important phases of the game are closely related, and an organization embracing both officials and coaches would go a long way in ironing out a great number of the times that jump in here and there and cannot be smoothed out when everything is in a state of chaos. Officials and coaches working in harmony towards one objective will help a great deal in speeding up the game and reaching amenable agreements when Since most of these who officiate in games here are in some manner connected with a team, an organization not embracing the two would not bring the results desired when it was suggested that officials organize to aid in speeding up the games and insure teams of competent arbiters. There official and coach are separate and distinct individuals or organizations, we would soon find that matter would not be benefited, because a situation would soon come about that one would feel that he owed the other nothing, and may be either would be justified. It might seem rather late in the season to endeavor to materialize such plans, but the time is ripe and there is no better time than now. To begin at this point, the organization would be in fine working order when the season of 1926 is ushered in. Of course, the activities of this organization would not have to be restricted to foot ball a line. There are other sports that are conducted in this section that need competent officials, and this has been evidenced. From present indications there will be basketball here this year. Then having will, no doubt take its place among the sports. The track season is on its way, so is base ball. There are men here who could serve as well in the mentioned capacities. Additional information can be obtained by inquiring through this column. HOW ABOUT BASKET BALL? Last season, was re-breaking of basketball activities in this section and the Community Center team was only quintet on the courts. This aggregation of basket ballers did well considering the fact that it was their first year of playing on them. If these follows can be brought together again this year, it is reasonable to believe that the team will go through the season in better shape than last. it was rejoining of basketball art community. Center team was 16.6 and margination of basket ballers did wi as their first year of playing last together again this year. it is re will go through the season in bett lapes at the games played we wi will take to the caging basket, if a the city. There is room for three or as more games, which will enable from talk that is running the season. The attendances at the games danced were very good and show that fans here will take to the caging rack, if a worthwhile team is representing the city. There is room for three or four more teams and this will give us more games, which will enable fans to get on to the things quicker. From talk that is running the rounds, there are prospects of having more than one team this year. Booker Washington plans to be in the running again. The Norfolk Athletic Club How They Stack P In The Interstate High School Athletic Association SHAW NOSES OUT OVER V.N.&I.I. IN LAST MINUTES Petersburg, Va., Oct. 31—In a closely contested game the team from North Carolina was able to nose out the local team in the last few minutes of play. The visitors' touchdown was made solely as a result of penalties. To many of the onlookers it seemed as if the ball had not actually crossed the goal. In the last five minutes of play the ball was in midfield and V. N. I. I. was leading 3 to 0. On fourth down a forward pass netted eight yards and a first down. On the next two plays Referee Gibson penalized the V. N. I. I. team 50 yards for telling to each other as a defensive measure against the Shaw, aerial attack. This placed the ball on the V. N. I. I. 10 yard line. On the next play Baker, the best punter in the C. I. A. A. ran into a Shaw back who was attempting to receive a pass that was just feet over his head. V. N. I. I. was again penalized, the ball being placed on the one yard line. On the next play a touchdown was made although the Shaw back was over a yard back of the goal line when he was down. Martin kicked goal. The game was marred by slight by penalty which to one was able to account for. The V. N. I. I. score was made in the third quarter as the result of a blocked kick on the Shaw twotight yard line. After Chambers made five a fumble last eight and Baker stepped and booted the ball squarely between the uprights for a field goal. Martin and Chambers were the outstanding Shaw players, while Smith, Tynes and Baker were the leaders in the outfit. V. N. L. 1-3 Shaw-1 Brown L. E. Boley Thompson L. T. Hughes Shelton L. G.

Oct. 20—Larvestone today won a hard-fought game from the strong Chilton University aggregation to the time of 13:0. This football unit represented South Carolina's champion team defending its honors in her sister state. Jupiter Plvigy threatened to end the contest as every moment but after the delayed affair went through with hold. The Livingstone "Bears" received the ball from the kick-off and roped 25 yards in a thrilling run before Bill Kill could be stopped. And then the firm began. A number of fumbles by each team followed and the ball stayed in field for the first quarter. In the second period, however, with Reid shifted to quarterback the "Bears" elapsed their way up the field to goal. The score by Shaw was a fitting elimax to the powerful driving and hard hitting by the livingstone backs. Kick after goal was successful. Livingstone made four first downs to Chalfin's one and when the whistle blew for the half the ball was still in the possession of the "Bears." The second half was marked by a punting contest of which Livingstone had the better. Chaffin was no more able to hold the wet and soggy ball than were her opponents. During this period Chaffin's line for five more first downs. The reared and tumbled straight up the field to the 29 yard line where Wooden received a forward pass and executed a pretty broken-field run for the second touchdown. Again the kick counted. During the last quarter both teams showed fighting spirit and pop, but again Livingstone had the edge on the visitors as two more first downs were added to the nine. For Chaffin, the work of the tackles was well worthy of commendation as was that of Duberer and Singer. For Livingstone, the playing of Smith, Melbourne, Duncan and E.Jones was unsuprised forinemen. In the backfield every man was a consistent ground miner on account of their almost perfect coordination. The long, difficult runs by Reed and Buff, the poking of Shaw, as well as the stolling playing of Bill Weiden had all to do with the outcome of the game. Claitlin--0 Livingstone--11 Tiller R. E.

"I appealed to the rookies for fair play, only to be booted by them. I then appealed to Professor Callaway, assistant coach of Peabody, who replied, "Stop your men from playing tough. Football itself is a rong game, and therefore I could not stop that without stopping the game." I told him that with such an able man as Mr. Pinn as reference, if my men were resorting to prostration and play, he would disqualify any guilty player. I knew that Mr Pinn could handle the player of both trans, but was powerless to handle the angry rookies, so I appealed to Prof. Snifco, the principal of Peabody, and asked him for police protection for my team and threatened to withdraw my men if such protection was not forthcoming. No police protection was afforded, and of course, I withdrew my men and rushed them to the bus, midst all kinds of threat, being hurled at us. Even some of the girls limbbed our men with curbbloned canes so we rushed to the bus. Supported By Officials "After landing my men on I remained for a conference with the officials of the game, Messrs Clarke and Plim, both of whom agreed that I was perfectly right in withdrawing my men after police protection, was not given us." "On reaching the school we learned that a car had been committed by 8 members of the mob, which was coming toward where we were. Arresting in the school, these members of the mob entered the bus to get Snowden, who succeeded in keeping them off without further injury to himself. Then Mr. Scott, head teacher of Norcom, came up with a friend in another town. The ends set upon them, beat them down, and stabbed the driver.

In case of this kind, the rules state that the offending team shall be penalized with the distance of the field and the offending player removed from the game. In the Secondary game, a penalty of 14 yards was given and the man allowed to return in the game. The penalty should have been between 30 and 35 yards and the man removed. So much for the offends and those in the group. As To Whedbee Now as to Wheedbe, the 'All American Star' and his part.

In her attempt to point, which was blocked by Cunningham, A. and T.'s eight treads and covered by Steecker, A. and T.'s right end, behind the goal line, A. and T. made a touchdown. At this point, Wheedbe walked from the field, was mithered before carried off. In some of these attempts on the part of Seminary to advance, did the touchdown act of whom I once played any part. The statement that Wheedbe figured in any way in those crashes or that he made Wheedbe is a great master representation of facts. This article gives some great that after the A. and T. could do nothing. The final score was 2 if they were the lower points to be awarded for? After the game, an instructor in the County of the A. and T. Colleges counsel Whidbey to a physician who proclaimed him alright. The same night Whidbey entered two dances to Grenson's, one a private affair, the other a dance given at the call go for the Seminary. At both places the "All American" star dressed himself for more as dancer than as a football player. This too, a train whistler, according to the Seminary official, would be seen in a condition.

His terminates were not believed, neither was his coach, who expressed himself here as believing he was "taking" what "We would like to much to believe that the Seminary official responsible for the article did not know the facts of the case. Perhaps he did not know that Wheathee was a social butterfly, flitting from dance to dance in this "composite condition." Perhaps he did not know that Wheathee walked from the field, unmanned. Perhaps he did not know that Seminary alone was penalized for unnecessary roughness by Seminary-select officials.

Washington to Take on Strong Douglass High Team November 13 16 WILLEY A. WILLEY, JR. The Fighting Bookers are slated to meet Donnellas high school lef Baltimore, here Friday, November 13, in what is labeled as the homecoming game. This game will give the fans a feel line on the true merits of the local high school squad and Douglas and Booker Washington come to the front with same number of games won and the same percentage in the association race. Douglas has won two games in the newly formed southeastern high school conference and the Bookers have the same record to beat of. Douglas turned the tables on Douglass and her for the first time in 23 years. From this, the Baltimore team must have some staff to offer. The Fighting Boilers are in for a very warm afternoon and will have to do some stopping to down the Baltimoreans. This home coming game promises to be a gold event for the alumni and under graduates of the local schools and an attendance surpassing all yet, is expected to witness the fray. If Douglas Washington is successful in taking the measure of Douglas, other squads that will be between her and the championship will not be very hard to take. It seems that Douglas will furnish the stiffest opposition.

Institute Wins From Simmons Institute Wins From Simmons INSTITUTE, W. Va. Oct 30-On yestrday, fate was most unkind to football fans, for a flurry of snow set in early in the morning and continued all day long. It was the kind of snow that makes every- thing wet and sloppy. This fact did not excuse the gridivon, for I had its share of the slush also. The field at Institute, on which the Simmons-West Virginia game was fought, was indeed discouraging for watchers of the game. Just as fate was unkind to enthusiasts, she was more unkind even to the participants of the game. The weather itself was enough to dishearten any team, but to light throughout four fifteen-minute periods with its back to the wall, its line snipped to pieces by furiously charging opponents, and unable to gain advantage in any department of the game was too tough for the boys from Simons University of Louisville, Kentucky, and what was last year the victim of a 4-10 score, is today the victim of a 32-0 counter. West Virginia scored during the first quarter of the game, when Lowry rushed the ball over from the four yard line. A pass, Turner to Gaiters, counted for the extra point. Passes were frequent today despite the fact that the ball was slippery and the men's fingers stiff and cold. Desperately did Kentucky attempt to score by completing an air line collision, but the Hamiltones were always watching this particular phase of the glom. The first half ended Simmons 6, Institute 7. The longest run of the game occurred here when Logg received on his 10 yard line and ran to within 10 yards of scoring distance where he was picked up from behind after stumbling.

Johnson tackled Lane and Lane did not tackle Lebron. Letters from the officials of Howard University attest that completely absolved Lane of all blame. "In the Seminary game Lane was painfully blinded by a Seminary player who immediately, with his foot, lounged Lane in the eye. This act was responsible for the permanently named Seminary. As a result of the injury Lane was under doctors' care for two days, and out of uniform about two weeks. Lane was the only player in the Seminary game dribbed by and fouled him." "Contrary to the belief of the Seminary official, A. and T. does not glory over Seminary's failure. Victory is sweet only when true postmannship is evidenced.

Cloudy, sunny, or rainy, November 7, will witness the coming together of scores of stalwart bodies in a resounding clash as a shrill, piercing echo breaks upon the atmosphere and the notes walt away in the wide open spaces, putting a momentary hush upon much jabbing—then a dull thud and a brown misse soaring in the air—the game is on! On this day all squads of the C. I. A. A. will clash with squads of the Conference, with the exception of Virginia Normal Institute. These games will have much bearing on the championship race and all of the elevens will put everything they have in these contests. So far, Union is leading in this neck of the woods, with Hampton running a close second and prospects of carrying thrush to parallel the Panther aggregation. Hampton and Union appear the strongest and it seems that these two elevens will be a thorn in the sides of many who have made a bid for association honors. HAMPTON-SH A W—Notfolk, N. V. 7. Both of these elems meet worthy foes in each other and there will not be anything to spare either way. Both teams will have to play the game to ease by, with Hampton fully capable of taking advantages of breaks that inevitably come during a pigeon fray. Hampton comes back this season with much added strength and has a better squad than that boosted of last year. Shaw, also comes back with a little more zip and has a lot to offer in the line of real football. This, no doubt will be the best contest on the card for this day, with the Maroon and White machine in fine fettle to take care of itself against the best. Hampton and Shaw appear to be almost on an equal, with the former probably having a slight advantage in the first line of defense. Of course, Shaw is not for behind in line strength, if any at all. Shaw might have the fashier backfield in Chambers, Mitchell Martin and one or two others. Here, Hampton takes no back seat. She has a rare treat in Johnson, the Kentucky' express, who has speed and daring. Hampton will play her usual conservative game and show a burst of speed in the final stages. Shaw will enter the fray to register as early as possible, which has been her usual style of play. When the final gun sounds Shaw has good prospects of being on the heavy end of the score, which, by the way, will not be very heavy. There will only be one touchdown in this fray, with either Hampton or Shaw embracing that more than likely, Shaw. ST. PAUL-A. & T.-Greensboro, come November 7. The St. Paul eleven are islated to take a good drubbing ed from the Aggies. St. Paul is not in the running this season, he has unable to strike her stride. St. Paul might come back to show it he some good fooolalling before the season is entirely spent; but chances are against the Tiger clan. A. and T. will come through with much to spare. From indications, which mean a great deal some times, St. Paul will be lambasted all over the lot. VA. SEMINARY-UNION—I will wreathbear. November 7. Here will will be another hard fought melee fraught with much that borders on the seintilating, with the red and steel machine voted the edge. This will be a tussle, followers of the picklekin industry, a struggle between two good elevers. The Deacon squad comes back this year too, with some added strength and has proved able to take care of itself against all who have been pitted against it. Union ought to repeat and come through with very little to spare. Seminary will give Union a better entertainment than the one accorded last year, but the Panthers will ease by before it all over. V. N. & L. L. JOHNSON C SMITH—Hoanoke, November 6. The Carolina team will crumble before the final gun ends the fray. This ought to be a thrilling combat with much hard running and tackling, a game that will keep the wild eyed populace on edge from the beginning to the end. The Peterburg clan ought to comp true to form and mount; the heights where the victors repose in their glory. The Hiltoppers will not come out of the fray with the battle scars of a well earned victory. The scoring ought to be at least two touchdowns for Virginia Normal. LINCOLN-WEST VIRGINIA----Charleston, November 7. If the Lion machine cannot display something better than offered Wilberforce, the Robbers will come thru in good shape. Lincoln ought to profit from the severe drubbing administered by 'Force' and come around in better form for this contest. Two Western games in three weeks, with a tough foe in between, is a pretty tough gait to stand and this is exactly what Lincoln faces. Wilberforce, Morgan and Wes is Virginia. Of course, the Wilberforce game has been played. Lincoln will crack under this strain and if West Virginia has any thing at all to offer, she will take the team from the East. BOOKER WASHINGTON HI UNION ST. HI-Norfolk, November 5. The Fighting Bookers are in for another hard contest with the high school eleven from Hampton, but she ought to come thru with at last one tally. HOWARD-WILBERFORCE — Washington, November 7. Eight and West again and things look dismal for the former. It seems that Wilberforce is carrying thruits season with a great deal to spare and is knocking them all silly and making them like it. This is what will likely happen when she meets Howard. 'Force' ought to come through with a slim margin — no not because she trounced Lincoln, because it is believed she has a better quad than the Bison camp has to offer. The Ohio team will find the going a bit rougher than it was with Lincoln and will not be able to amass as many points but she will be on top of the piles when the smoke and din of battle have cleared away.

The Superintendent stated the object of the meeting and stressed the need of higher education in the county for colored children. The patrons were very earnest and enthusiastic in their discussion and vowed to form a permanent organization, that the work may be pushed with greater zeal. Mr. J. H. Carroll, president; Mrs. Whithurst, vice president; Mrs. M. E. Gray, secretary-treasurer. Banking Committee: Messrs. Link B.11, Monroe Williams and Alex Rodgers. Mr. Carroll had previously asked each teacher to report a donation from her Junior League that the children may have the credit of having given the first collection for the Training School. The amount reported was $131.55. Some of the Senior Leagues also sent money to the amount of $218.77. A number of individual pledges were given. A committee was selected to look out a site for the building and report at Union Kempsville Church November 15, at 2:30 p. m. Sensational Auto.

The recently organized Civic Club, a product of the thought, interest and energy of the Commercial Thrift Club of Norfolk, Va., promises fair to be a "live wire" in the stimulation and promotion of civic interest, if its present plans materialize. The first two regular meetings were very well attended in which several organizations represented by committees, namely: The B. F. Lee Bible Class of St. John's A. M. E. Church, St. John's Brotherhood, Tidewater Lodge No. 106, David King Bible Class and Bible Class No. 3 of Bute Street Baptist, the Sons of Norfolk, Prince A. Johnson Post No. 1076, V. F. W., the Royal Independent Beneficial and Social Club, the Eureka Lodge No. 5, L. E. P. O. E. of W., the Aeum Club, the G. N. Lodge No. 132, L. B. P. O. E. of W., and the Ciba Beta Chi L. and S. Club, also other interested citizens. This delegation brought with them great enthusiasm which radiated through the meetings from the most timely and fitting remarks from the several speakers, every one present registered and expressed himself as being most heartily in accord with the aim and purpose of the Club, and in turn pledged his support and in bringing others to the rally to its aims. The Club has plans on foot by which it hopes to arouse every man and woman to their sense of duty; a duty that is indeed most sacred and yet so much neglected by colored and this is nothing other than the neglect of the use of the ballot. The Civic Club purposes to as-certain who are qualified voters and who are not, and to inform the uninformed of the necessity for the use of the ballot and to instruct them as to how to qualify. This club is open to all for membership regardless of religious beliefs, political ideas, intellectual standing or financial attainments. BLYDEN LIBRARY HAS RECEIVED NEW VOLUMES Several Books For Adults, Juveniles and Small Children Received; Public Into Use Institution. The Blyden Library Branch announces the receipt of many new books, the most noteworthy of which are "Keeper of the Bears," Mrs. G. S. Porter's last book, written just before her fatal accident. It is a book rich in nature bee and interesting information about the curious life of the honey bee; yet there is interwoven a story of snagging interest and whole one reading that one can scarcely put the book aside before reading it through. Another book from the author of "If Winter Comes." The theme is the quest of humanity for something that will satisfy the hunger of soul. Carolyn Wells' mystery stories, "Daughter of the House," and "Anything but the Truth," are of absorbing interest. "Red Ashes" by Margaret Podler, who says a fite is never dead, while the ashes are red. This is a story of a young doctor, who, being called upon to operate upon a young man, blundered seriously and became an exile by choice. A valuable book on simplified nursing in the home, which can be understood by anyone who wishes to be instructed along that line. There is another book on sex training, commending itself to the parent. It is called "Father and Son," and contains wholesome and effective treatment of the subject. "Children of the Alps," by the author of "Heide" and other stories children love. "The Little Great Body," by Harriet Campbell. "Colonial Ways and Wars." "Reinforcement of American History." by Francis Robert Wheeler: "The Missionary Pearls," a delightful book by Emile B. Knipe and Alder A. Knipe. And there is: "The Young Train Dispatcher," of which there is nothing better in the way of adventure for boys. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE A Leader In Elk Membership Drive [Picture of a man in a suit].

E. of W. has been heard throughout the entire city, and with a loud response. Approximately 300 or more men of the Negro race wore smiles of satisfaction after having been initiated into the mysteries of Elkdom on Thursday night; October 29, at the home of Eureka, 440 East Brambleton avenue. "This was the first lot to cry out. I have found the" since the mammoth membership drive was laughed just a little more than a month ago." Mr. Calvin is a very active Elk, being Esteemed Light Knight of his lodge. He further states that, "The Pride of the South, Furks Lodge No. 5, is one of the first functioning units of the Great Fraternal Order of Negro Elks, has more to offer than sick and accident benefits to those who unite themselves with such an organization which is based on the cardinal principles of Charity, Justice Now, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. Now to you who are not Elks, join Eureka now, and be on time; don't wait, for our slogan is "On to Cleveland."

Says She Is Willing To Give Secret To Anyone Who Wants Long Hair After a long spell of sickness, Mrs. P. O. Burton, of 1337 Christian St., South Philadelphia, Pa., found herself almost bald. Her hair had fallen out in handsfull and it was so short, she could not fix it up in any style. She tried everything she could think of but got no results whatever. Finally she gave up the thoughts of ever being able to get anything to give results, when she discovered that her hair had fallen out in handsfull and gradually getting longer. She continued to use the last preparation (which she made herself) and after a few months, her hair was long enough to fix up in any style. Mrs. Burton says that the ingredients can be bought at any drug store, and that she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a stamped self-addressed envelope. Note—Mrs. Burton Has nothing at all to sell. Out of pure gratitude she is passing on the secret that gave her long, beautiful hair. It's free. Just send stamped envelope to Mrs. P. O.

FRANCIS MUST DIE Richmond, Va.—Polly Francis, the man who is said to have shot and killed police officer, Bertieff has been sentenced to die in the electric chair. The outcome of his trial which was forfeited by many who watched with keen interest, because of a similarity to the great "Dissie" case. All those interested have compared the two cases. Dissie killed his sweetheart, his rival and a police officer, while Francis shot his sweetheart and killed, according to reports, a police officer. Both have been sentenced to die. Which means they both must go the way that all first-class bad men eventually go; or in the language of the old folks, "If you dance you must pay the fiddler." HALLOWEEN CELEBRATED Richmond, Va.—"Streets were gay, all the way, all the alleys have turned out," was the way the song began which told of Emancipation Day, but the same held good on Saturday night, which was Halloween. Everybody from everywhere was either on Broad or Second street or both. It was a fearfully cold night that did not stop the gay revelers who were out to have a good time on that night. Every conceivable kind of costume was in evidence, and Broad street was turned over to them, all traffic having been diverted to other streets, so that the masqueraders might not be molested. There must be something fascinating about the colored skin, for nearly two-thirds of the white masqueraders had their faces blacked or tanned trying to look like colored folks. White men and women playing Negro. Colored people had Second street and were unusually orderly for that night. There were dances, of course, at all of the Halls, all of which were crowded and all of which were conducted in an orderly fashion. DR. ARNER SPEAKS Richmond, Va.—Under the auspices of the Young Men's Congress, recently organized in the M. E. Church, corner 5th and Leigh St. Dr. E. W. D. Abner, of Denver, Coli. supreme commander of the American Woodmen, delivered a rousing address. Without any attempt at oratory, Dr. Abner speaking chiefly in the interest of the Woodmen, got off some very timely and instructive remarks. He said many things that if heeded by the Negro will do the individual good. and the race matters. Giving facts and figures of the Order, Commander Abner said that for nine years the Woodmen were managed by white people but made no headway under them, but for the remaining fifteen years—intimating that the order is 24 years old—it has been managed by colored people, and they have been wonderful progress. made wonderful pro- The Young Men's Congress, who secured Commander Abner, is make- ing its initial venture. The pro- gram of the Congress is to hole NEW BUS ORDINANCE VS. PRESENT TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES For a number of years bus transportation for colored people has been satisfactorily furnished by colored bus owners, who know their people, and who render them the class of service which they need. Despite the fact that the ordinance under which we now operate would permit a seven cent fare, we have been charging only five cents, and if permitted to continue to operate, the fare will not be increased, but will remain at five cents. The recent ordinance adopted by the majority of the Council, would place a serious hardship upon the colored population of Norfolk, for the following reasons: First—A monopoly would be created, in the hands of the traction company, and which ordinance gives them a right to charge any fare necessary to earn 8¢ on their investment. The minimum fare under this ordinance is seven cents, and it is understood that the fare will go to ten cents or higher. Second—The colored people of Norfolk have lived very happily with their neighbors, even under the "Jim Crow" provisions of the law, and were proud to have the means of transportation operated by their own people, and confined entirely to hauling colored passengers. This, under the traction ordinance, would be removed, and in addition to paying a higher fare, the colored people of the city, in order to avail themselves of the "universal" transfer privileges, would be required to ride in the rear of buses used for white people. This, we do not believe, the white people desire, and which condition we have lived very happily without. Third—Reputable colored citizens of this city have built up a transportation system for the colored people at much expense; have created a business and good will, and have large investments in same. All of this, under the recent ordinance, would be taken from them, and they would be paid only for the mere nominal appraised value of the bus. It is understood that a certain concern offered the City of Norfolk $500,000.00 cash for the privilege of operating all of the busses. If the good will of this business has such value, it must be admitted that we helped create it, then why should the city take it from us, and turn it over to the traction company without one dollar's cost to the traction company therefor." Fourth-We have been rendering service where it was needed, although under the traction ordinance it would be possible for the traction company to curtail and change this service at any time. Certainly they are not required to make any extensions of service until after they have earned 8% on their total investment. Fifth-With a monopoly in the hands of the traction company, the street car fares as well will be no doubt increased, which will also affect certain percentage of our people. Petitions were presented to Council, bearing the signatures of over 4,000 qualified voters in Norfolk, in opposition to the ordinance they adopted. We, therefore, urge all of our people to go to the polls on November 17th and vote against the ordinance, in order that the present bus operators may continue to serve you, without increasing your fares. We are prepared, as soon as the ordinance is defeated at the polls and we are permitted to remain, to renew our equipment, and to give you as high class service as you could wish. We do not believe that you want to see a home industry conducted by your own people, with Nortfolk capital, destroyed for the accommodation of giving a monopoly to the traction company.

"We greet you as a fellow Congregationalist in whom we have full confidence, not only because of traditional background, but also because of your example as a Christian and your acts as a President." The spokesman for the delegation said further, "Our prayer is that God may use you to promote that good will between white and black in America and the peace among all the nations of the earth. Particularly do we thank you for that great word you spoke at Omaha the bravest word spoken by any executive for three score years."

NEW BU RICHMOND PLANNING BIG SO AFFAIRS AT TURKEY DAY RICHMOND PLANNING BIG SOCIAL AFFAIRS AT TURKEY DAY GAME Richmond, Va.—Richmond, the proud capital of the Old Dominion State is planning elaborate social functions in connection with the great gridiron classic to be staged on spacious Hovey Field Thanksgiving Day, November 26. This Turkey Day grid contest, which is now heralded as the greatest social and athletic event of the year, promises to be bigger than ever in the interest which is being manifested and in the number of local and out-of-town visitors who are planning to be in attendance. Johnson's beautiful ballroom will take on her best holiday attire and bedeck herself with all the decorative embellishments of a monster reception and dansante in honor of the great gladiators of the gridiron. It will truly be a gala reception and the services of the South's most noted musicians and entertainers have been secured. "The Hall of Mirrors," the Waltz Dream Academy will be another hall in which folks may meet the stalwart demons of the stadium in civilian attire. All preparations are being made to make this affair one of the most brilliant ever staged. Two lucky number holders will receive valuable prizes at both halls. The entertainment schedule planned for Turkey Day together with the great grid grapple will make it a never-to-be forgotten holiday.

UNION IN AN ACID TEST WHEN SHE FACES SEMINARY UNION IN AN ACID TEST WHEN SHE FACES SEMINARY Richmond, Va.—The famous Union Panther gridiron gladiators invade Lynchburg Saturday to participate in a long-looked-forward-to clash with Va. Seminary and College's football machine. There has been much speculation rife as to who will be the victor in the conquest, as Wheedby and Co. are trying to make due preparations to be ready to entertain their Panther visitors who have made such a splendid record so far this season. No team has as yet crossed the Red and Steel line and Coach Harvey has been working hard with his squad getting them in shape for the battle. "Jimmy" Shields, star halfback was dropped from the Union football team last week, for breaking training rules. Shields was asked by the Coach to turn his uniform in after the halfback did not make the regular morning run. Tennessee Downs Tidewater A. C. BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The Tennessee A. C. showed a burst of speed in the final stages of the game to come from behind and down the Tidewater boys of old Queen street, at 9-6. The dewens appeared evenly matched at the beginning of the fray, but Tidewater boomed better as the scramble rolled along and a pass from Knight to Jones netted the Queen street fellows a touchdown. After this score, Tennessee began to pound the first line of defense of the Tidewater A. C. tellingly and registered many first downs, finally working the oval far down into the enemy's territory, only to be cut short of a score by the expiration of time for the first half.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 7, 1925 The citizens of Newport News, Hampton, Phoebe and surrounding communities, aided materially by the Grand Lodge of Elks raised over $1,750.00 in two stirring mass meetings Sunday for the benefit of kever's Orphan Home of Hampton. The first mass meeting began at 1 o'clock in the First Baptist Church of Newport News, Rev. A. A. Calvin, pastor. The other was held at night in the First Baptist Church, Hampton, Rev. J. W. Paterson, pastor. At the Newport News meeting $574.70 was raised in Hampton at night $1171.76 was laid on the table. The Hampton donation was materially boosted by the presentation of $250.00 from the Grand Lodge of Elks and $250.00 from the board of trustees of the Orphan Home at this meeting. The donations of the citizens of Phoebe also were counted in the collection. Meetings Enthusiastic Both meeting was marked by high enthusiasm for the work being at Weaver's Orphans' Home Rev. and Mrs. W. B. Weaver and Mrs. Maud Weaver Winston, the Field Agent. Both churches are virtually packed from pit to time, and the programs were of high order. One of the most liking features of the Hampton meeting, and one from which other communities in Virginia might take profitable lesson, was the promptness with which the program been closed. The meeting began promptly at 7:30 o'clock as had been advertised and at 9:45 o'clock the crowd was filing out of the building, having placed on the table $1170.76, after listening to the good program. on both programs every number is delightfully entertaining, Mrs. delightly, Gipin, of Richmond, aary talented singer, with an enchanting voice, grace and charm supported by a splendid physique understated several solo sellections in both Newport News and Boston. Mrs. Helen Elsie Dettie becomes accompanist. Newport News Program At the Newport News meeting, S. A. Thomas served as master of ceremonies. The welcome adress was delivered by Col. Stewart, who served in the place of the master, who had not arrived when his name was reached on the program. Col. Matt, N. Lewis, Prof. Palmer and Mrs. Maud Weezy, Winston delivered informing and lequent talks on the work of Stevens Orphan Home, its aim and its needs, Prof. J. A. Clark, inducted a violin solo and the late Senior Quartet sang. Hampton Program In Hampton the welcome address, made by Rev. J. W. Patterson, ms. A. B. Weaver very touching, respired. The First Quartet of ampton institution sung several numbers, and addresses were made of Mrs. Maud Weaver Winston, t. W. L. Scott, Mrs. Lillie Rivers and Rev. W. B. Weaver. Dr. J. T. ultimate served as master of ceramics. Sebelom are there witnessed more impressive gatherings than were at these mass meetings. The gift of charity imbued the audiences. Weaver Orphan Home was standing directly in need of $4,500 to lift its indebtedness. It had appealed to the public for aid. And the public had gathered in these churches to respond to the appeal. It was a full response. It seemed that every church, fraternity, social club, church maxiaries and every other organization in Newport News, Hampton and Brooks worked in unison for the aid of Weaver's Orphan Home, probably the most outstanding honors were cool trimmers and Elk bridges. The combined contributions of the Elks of Hampton, Phoebe and the Grand Lodge alone amounted to close to $500,000. Newport News Elks also responded liberally, and so did several other internal orders, particularly the Wise Men. No one in Virginia in recent times has witnessed more generous outpouring of liberty for a charitable cause than the example which was set in Newport News and Hampton. Sunday is the most impressive thing about the contributions was not the size of the amounts, but the scope which they covered. Mrs. Winston other address of thanks, state that not a single organization or individual appealed to had failed in some way. History of the Home Weavers, Orphan Home of Hampshire, was founded 21 years ago by R.V. and Mrs. W. B. Weaver, stands on twenty-five acres of land chased by the sacrifice of two sainted characters, who are endeavoring to carry out the nine command: "Suffer little children to come unto me." But was orphan children with which Weavers were concerned. At present the home houses 35 ornies. They are being trained Christian principles and moral responsibility. There is no doubt that fact. In Newport News many these orphans recited and are in concert and individually showed marked familiarity in passages of scripture and evil dened other traits of excellent training. Convention Organized Realizing that the work of caring for orphans must go on after they have passed into the Beyond, Rev. and Mrs. Weaver, who are now growing aged, have set about to bring the work of the home more widely to the attention of the public than it has formerly been. In this connection a Convention of Weaver's Orphan Home was organized at the mass meetings, with prominent men a n o women made its officers. This convention is to be permanent and will meet annually. Mrs. Winston stated that during last year 70 orphans who had applied for admission to the home had to be turned away on account of lack of room to accommodate them. This condition, she hopes will very shortly be remedied and the institution made possible to care for all who apply. She also explained many ways in which the public might aid the home. Among these are the purchase of rugs weaved by the orphan girls, donations of wood and coal and grocery supplies; the setting up of charity boxes and stores, marked for Weaver's Orphan Home. Already the Elks of Virginia are said to be evincing considerable interest in the home, and have tentatively decided to erect on the grounds an imposing building for orphan children, after all present obligations on the property have been lifted. The children of the home have been gathered from all sections of the State, and it is the purpose of those in charge to further extend its influence. The public everywhere, is asked to send contributions of clothing, food, money or anything of value to Weaver's Orphan Home in order to aid the caring for the children. Rev. Weaver made it known that the people of the vicinity always have aided generously in support of the institution, there never having been a meal hour when there was not sufficient food for all of the inmates. VOTE TO ENLARGE BAPTIST PLANT AT NASHVILLE Will Spend Fifty Thousand Dollars—Expansion of Business, increase in Orders Necessitate Enlargement. Nashville, Tenn. (Special) $80,000 was appropriated for enlarged quarters and new machinery, by the National Baptist Publishing Board at its recent Board meeting. This action became necessary on account of the increased volume of business handled during the past year, and the tremendous growth intimated by the secretary in his report for the ensuing year. A better work shop, is to be fitted up modern and improved high-speed printing presses will be installed in order that the millions of increased books, tracts and periodicals, with the various newspapers might be finished up with more dispatch. It will mean the employment of additional help. It will mean the opening of better opportunities for the hundreds of boys and girls who are coming out of the various trade schools, or who desire to take up printing as a profession, or wish to become competent bookbinders, linotype operators or mechanics along the line of the art preservative," is the way one of the members of the Board put it in giving out the information about the $50,000,000 agreement made. Plant Covers Four Blocks The National Baptist rambling Board's Plant covers four city lots and has a group of about seven buildings on these lots. The floor space occupied runs into the thousands of square feet; but in practically every department the wedding quarters are crowded, there being not sufficient room to expand, that the work might be done more accurately and with greater perfection. The secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Henry A. Boyd, the son of the late Dr. Boyd, stated just before leaving the city on a trip this week, that his recommendation was to put the 550,000.00 in the factory building and in improved machinery. He declared that there is no necessity of a fine building, but rather a demand for a work shop. He was the opinion that this money properly spent or economically used would meet the requirements for the present as it would only be necessary to add an additional story to one of the buildings, extend one to the street and bring the two-story buildings up to the third door. It was not stated, when this work would begin, but the secretary is of the opinion that no attempt will be made to build until the winter is over. PORTERS' UNION DRIVE STARTS IN WESTERN CITIES Perry Howard Challenges A. Philip Randolph To Debate Question of Benefits Of Sleeping Car Organizations. Chicago, Ill.—October 19, marked the opening of an intensive organization campaign to organize the Pullman porters in Chicago. St. Louis, Cleveland, Kansas City, Mo., Detroit, St. Paul, Minn., Denver, Omaha, Nebraska, and the far West. Meetings are being held every night. Pullman porters are said to be going into the movement in overwhelming numbers. As a result of the meetings, Mr. Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the United States Department of Justice, and recent attendant as a member of the Legal Staff of the Pullman Company, has challenged A. Philip Randolph to debate the question: Whether Pullman porters should organize their own unions under the plan of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. This debate bids fair to be one of the great events in Chicago, Pullman porters and the general public are intensively aroused over the affair. It is quite possible that in the interest of informing public opinion upon all sides of the question that Mr. Howard and Mr. Randolph may debate several times in some of the other big cities of the country. Both men are ready and eager for the fray. Both are confident of victory. This city is divided into definite camps on the men and issues. White Chicago is no less interested than Black Chicago since here is the home of the Pullman Company. In an interview Mr. Randolph, in commenting on the campaign in Chicago said, that the Organization would get practically 50 percent of the Pullman porters in Chicago in the next thirty days. PULLMAN SAIDTO BE DISCHARGING UNION LEADERS PULLMAN SAIDTO BE DISCHARGING UNION LEADERS Two or Three Ring-Leaders of Proposed Union of Porters Have Been Relieved of Further Duties on Sleeping Cars New York. The Pullman Company yesterday summarily discharged Ashley L. Totten, Chairman of Local No. 5, Pullman Porters' Benefit Association and Governance Committee Member on the Employee Representation Plan the "Company Fund" for the third distribution. Then, a very militant, outspoken and courageous man, had been, it is said a thorn in the side of the Company officials because of his sponsorship of the cause of the man. His discharge in Chicago a time of hours, having been recently elected a delegate to the P. P. R. A. Convention. It was suspected that he would raise the question of hours and wages a question always taboo at the P. P. R. A. Association meetings. Totten had been in the Pullman service six years. He is the third man to be discharged because of his advocacy of the men—the other two being Roy Lancaster and S. E. Grain, General Secretary-Treasury, and Field Representative respectively of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porter. Mr. A. Philip Kandolpin, editor of The Messenger and General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porter, who, with Roy Lancaster, is conducting a series of membership meetings in Chicago, states that indignation can high among the porters when the news of Totten's discharge was broadcast. He adds that this action of the Company alone brought over fifty men into the new unimproved of four hours. I. GARLAND PENN WARNSPULLMAN PORTERS' UNION Nashville, Tennessee. Oct. 20. In an address delivered by Dr. L. Kramer Penn, of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the secretaries for the Department of Educational Institutions for Negroes of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church before the Tennessee Metropolitan Conference in session here, he approved most health records statements he had seen in the audits since new-papers warring with patent porters of the cell population might come to them from the attorneys being made to adhere with organized labor movements. May Become Victims of Promoter Secretary Penn said that in this matter, it would seem that, the Negro race is again in danger of being victims of promoters in the way one one had suggested, namely in the "collection of films and joining foes". It is said in his judgment, an exploitation of Negro-Pallman porters and employees in these promoters. Dr. Penn said that he had not seen where any white railway organizations had given any assurance to Negro porters, that any attempt to secure demands they might make upon the Pullman Company, that such or NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Sang for the Orphan MRS.

Ursges Patters to Deal Direct "Adjustments of grievances, complaints or whatnot with the Pullman Company, declared De Form," could be billed in do by the porters, direct, through their own representations, in an organization which I understand is already in operation. The tool and diplomatic approach is of more value to the porters, than any amy having in it the benefit of force." Why he is interested "Some one may ask what I am interested," thanked Dr. Penn and I amware, how in the product of our schools, carrying my official relation to them, I know that sands of Negro young men who have worked their way into school, by income derived from the Pulman service in the vacation period. Two of them are the college president in our school system." He said, also, that in his judgment, there was no big hurdle. pass in the United States, and is employing more Negroes and dividing more for Negro traveling public than the Pullman Company. "No sooner, is a trainee for thirty years, I know of the propriety of Pullman porters who cared for and conceived their means, and many porters have told me that they performed other ways of raising the Pullman Company than they are implied in union organizations. These porters were depressing the possibility, (unable) that might come to them, and what they perceived as unworthy and overly leadership," said elated.

According to a bulletin just issued by the Grand Lodge of Elks, which carries a course report on the condition of the order as reported at the session in Richmond in August, machinery is being put in motion for putting to work the educational fund, which is to result from a measure adopted by the Elks in their Richmond meet- ing. This fund, says the bulletin, provides for scholarships to be administered by a board of education, composed of the Grand Exalted, the Grand Secretary and the three Grand Trustees, with a Commission of Education. Mr. William C. Hueston, of Gary, Indiana is the executive head. The scholarships are for worthy boys and girls, men and women, in secondary schools, colleges and universities of the world. It is not the purpose to restrict these scholarships entirely to members or relatives of those in the Order, but they shall be restricted to communities in which Elkdom exists and thrives.

Neither race is responsible for the acts of individual members except in so far as all members of society are responsible for acts of individual members. Those persons who committed crimes have not the backing of the greater part of their race. Indicting the whole population gets nowhere. "If the Negro race is to be denounced because some of its members commit crimes, it might be because several hundred of its representatives took virtual command of the law of Brombeam county. It would certainly be wise to denounce these officers who turned over their business to mob representatives, the keys to their prison and allowed members of the mob to search out the cells for the men they sought. If that is high regard for the law and a zealous desire to duty, then law and duty take on new meanings and justice ought to be regressed by the mob itself. "Where faith lies in Buncombe we do not know. The facts are not clear. Unquestionably a series of attacks on women will arouse emotions to a high pitch. We don't know why the attacks occurred. But any officer who has appreciation of such attacks will inflame and arouse the savannah and the brutality that still exists in many men and will prepare to meet that savagery and brutality when it crystallizes in mob action. There was some smart work done in Ashville by somebody who got the arrest man away. But there was a complaint to submission to the mob when an official bet its members take control of the situation in front of the jill. That is something for denunciation and for indirection and investigation. North Carolina is too close to mob rule day to countenance any act by an officer or an official which gives away an ounce of his authority. That is merely encouragement for the next mob that assembles in this state." CARTER CLOTHES Wear With Distinction Our fabrics and tailoring are the last word in style, comfort and workmanship.

By W. A. R. ROBINSON Supervisor of Negro High Schools of N. C. It is usually unsafe for one to stand by and watch the progress of a fight and once more that unwisdom has been brought home to me. I am not a Howardite and my general interest in the progress of great Negro university need never have led me to stand by no matter how innocently and watch the weekly tactics of "Alumnus." Now I am wounded. Not morally or even seriously for, whatever the nature of the rest of this ammunition, "Alumannus" fired one blank in my direction and except for the noise and glare I have only to suffer a slight by painful hump on the fleshy part of my pride. The load struck me! and hero is the source of my hurt: (Quoted from Alumannus, Afro-American, October 17, 1925) "It so happens that there are very few accredited colored high schools. In the South almost every institution of elementary grade bears the pretentious name of "college." The industrial schools alone are content with the less ambitions cognomen of "institute." With very few exceptions there are no accredited high schools. "Well equipped public schools except in some of the cities are not maintained for the colored. The private schools are necessarily the feeders for colleges and these private schools are usually an inhomonious mixture of elementary secondary, normal and collegiate." Use of the Word Now "Alumnus" is using words that need careful definition and may not be handled about by careful people. I am forced to wonder if "Alumnus" considered carefully the meaning of the word accredited. The word has always a technical meaning, never general. There are many agencies that for one reason or another must classify schools and whenever one of these agencies gives a school organization certain minimum classification allowing its graduates certain privileges it has "accredited" that school organization. For instance, associations of colleges may accredit high schools for purposes of admission to the various colleges in the association. Individual colleges may accredit for a similar purpose. States may accredit high schools or colleges for purposes of issuing teachers' certificates, although the word is generally used in connection with high school. What Does He Mean One of these accrediting agencies is may or may not give recognition to the accredited rating of any other. So which "Alumnus" says there are very few accredited colored high schools' just what does he mean? Let us consider the condition in the South generally. The Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in an accrediting agency that is nationally recognized. It is a white agency, however, and no colored college or high school in the South is accredited by it. Yet Central High School in Louisville, Kentucky and others have been able, notwithstanding this handicap, to be accredited by some of the larger colleges. leges and other hand some of the Southern states have not, unless recently, made regulations for or accredited high schools. It is for that reason that in Alabama the high school department of Talinda College and of Tuskegee Institute and of the State colored schools have none of them been accredited whether they do or do not rank as schools deserving such certification. Accredited States The great State of Texas and the state of Louisiana do accredit Negro schools and yet each report that Negro accredited high schools I venture to say that the fault is largely that the colored high schools are not cooking State recognition in those states. In many of the Southern states, notably Georgia, Virginia, West Va. North Carolina and probably others, colored schools are accredited on the same basis as white schools. With this general explanation let me mention the situation in North Carolina where we have a total of 43 State accredited Negro high schools which are public. schools. In the first place there are no large cities in the whole State; none at all so far with a total population of 75 thousand. "Well equipped" is of course a relative expression but I invite "Alumnus" and all the "Alumni" to visit our 20 accredited public high schools in the State and decide if they would call them "well equipped." If we had large cities we might have elaborate equipment but as it is, I contend that we have adequate equipment for doing a grade of high school work that would not lower the standards at any well organized college white or colored. Let me describe some typical public high school A Facts About High School A 1. Rural: High school A is a rural. County high school, main- tained by the county as a central high school for students from the various elementary schools who pass the uniform county elementary examination given to both white and colored students. It reports for the year 1924-25 the various facts: Total high school enrol- ment: 164; average daily atten- ence: 185; graduates: 19; 10-acre plant with modern brick building; steam-heated; modern brick dormitory and other frame building; total value of plant being $85,000; a library of 644 selected high school books, 8 magazines, 2 daily newspapers. Total value of laboratory equipment for high school science is $12,470.0; total value of food and clothing laboratories, $1,135.0; total value of Vocational Agriculture Laboratories, $890.0. Total value of map library, $210.50. High school faculty of 8 from Syracuse, Shaw, Willberforce. Howard, Hampton and A. and T. No teacher carrying more than 5 periods per day and the majority carrying less than five. High School B 2. City: High school B is located in one of our largest towns and reports for 192-125 as follows: Total enrollment, 510; a large daily attendance, 421; graduates, 123; total value high school plant, $102,000; a library of 1,522 volumes; 13 magazines; 2 daily newspapers. An annual appropriation for library (not salariq) $250.00; part time librarian. Total value of science laboratories, $1,325.00; total value food and clothing laboratories, $2,356.00; total value of Vocational Agriculture laboratory, $400.00; total value of manual training laboratory. $2,157.00. High school faculty of 17 from Columbia, Fisk, Atlanta University Syracuse, Knoxville College, Wilberforce, Talladega, etc. High School C 3. State Institution: High school C is a department in a State Normal School. It reported for 1924-25 as follows: Total enrollment, 442; average daily attendance, 398; graduates, 55; high school plant valued at $85,000; a library of 1,200 volumes; 35 magazines; 4 daily newspapers; full time librarian. Total value of science laboratory, $5,500.00; total value of Food and Clothing laboratories, $725.00; low estimate; total value of Vocational Agriculture laboratories, $1,500.00; high school faculty from Florida. Atlanta University, Shaw, Howard, Allegrayan, Lincoln, Knoxville, Talladega, etc. "Alumnus" may judge whether this represents good equipment. Our private high schools are all under the close supervision of the State with frequent inspection by State High School Instructor and are classified on the same basis as the public schools. I can say for them that there is not one of elementary grade that "bears the pretensions of colloquy" although there are three that do in work above the high school but were cristified with adult names and have not yet grown up. Their boards are all responsible persons however and hope to raise their schools to higher levels as condition justify the move. None of them has a program of genders that is "an inharmonious mixture of elementary, secondary normal and colligate". They have greatly improved in the last four years but have lost their lead over the public high schools. "Alumnus" Trouble The trouble with "Alumnus" may fall under any one of several heads: 1. He may know better but must mistake facts to support his argument. 2. He may have secured his facts from data long ago. 3. He may really not know and has merely been unidentified in coercing tasks. 4. He may have the 34 accredited North Carolina High Schools graded not the young people of when he went on to colleges including all the larger Negro colleges and of his parish colleges such as Yale City College of New York, Northwest University of Pittsburgh and others. In 1225 there were 1012 graduates from 125 accredited high schools and in 1225 there will probably be 1300 graduates from so many accredited high schools in North Carolina the majority being public high schools. The colleges of the country will do well to take notice of this fact, although we hope to make it necessary for our high school graduates to have North Carolina for first rate college education.

Don Handicapping the Children by Keeping Them Out of School Hertford County has many more colored than white children. The school census (children of school- axe) of Une white is 2006 and that of the colored ig 4150. The av- crave daily attendance of the white children for last school term was 1539 and thet of the colored was 2a77. If no mistake is made in the calculation, ther: was about 76 fer cent of white children, who Were of school-aye last schoo! year actually in school and, 57_ per cent of the colo.ed children. This record docs not show up so well for the colored people of Hertford county, Just think of it, a little over half of our children who should heve been in, were actually n sehool last yeur. | This shortaze jn attendance can be accounted for lo some extent, for xeveral of the persons ingladed in the school cen. sax were those who have murri¢d under 21 years of age. But noi ati of that 4% per cent have mar, ried. Some of the children, yea the majority of them have beer Kegt out of school through care lessness und indifference on th part of parents. We make a grea: poise about better convenience: and more amd, better schools fo eur children—how can we exe ’ these rights when we keep a larg: namber of children from school. ‘This does. not apply to all of ou - colored people in Hertford counts for some ave very loyid in Keepin: |_VIRGINIA | ' CREEDS, VA. | Creeds, Va—Mr, und, Mrs, Dale ley entertained ot a delightful din- ner, Sunday.

News of the City of Portsmouth and Suburban Territory PAGE TWELVE EMANUEL A. M.E. OBSERVES 68TH ANNIVERSARY EMANUEL A. M.E. OBSERVES 68TH ANNIVERSARY Services Will Begin Sunday, November 1, and Continue Through Monday, November 9. The 68th anniversary of Emanuel A. M. E. Church will be observed by the pastor officers and members, assisted by numerous ministers of Norfolk and Portsmouth and their congregations, from Sunday, November 9 to November 9. In announcing the anniversary observance the church members declare: "After 68 years of organic life of Emanuel A. M. E. Church the members have met to bow around their shrine in celebration of the influence and achievements of this historic Landmark established in the dark days of slavery. The splendid Christian spirit handed down to us by the mothers and fathers has been kept alive and today we are proud of the Church History. Its influence is far reaching, the members have kept together in the same Christ-like spirit while their forebears rest in peace. "It is suggested that as many as are in a position to do so will pay 68 cents for the sainted dead of their respective families in honor of this occasion. Each member of the church is requested to report 68 Nickels or $3.10 on the night of the rally, November 8." Emanuel Church is one of Portsmouth's institutions. Through 68 years it has ministered to the religious life of the community and has also served as an important factor in the elevation of the civic life of the city. As it has grown in prestige and influence through the passing of the years, so has it grown in veneration. Rev. L. L. Berry is the present pastor of Emanuel, and according to testimony of the officers and members, the church has enjoyed no greater era of progress that witnessed during his pastorate there. Program for the anniversary is as follows: Sunday, November 1: 9:00 a.m. m. Anniversary Sunday School; (See local program) 11:00 a.m. m. Anniversary Sermon by pastor; 4:00, 5:00, 6:00 p. m. A. C. E.
