UFFOLK MAN IS SOLE HEIR TO A NEAT FORTUNE
Some men are born great, yet where greatness and greatness there greatness almost upon them," with due epiphoresis.
And the same might be said of Mr. H. U. W., Williams, of Haskell, has just been informed that he is the sole heir to a valuable estate bequeathed him by a private uncle who died on April at his home in Columbia, S. C. Lori Fen.
The uncle, whose name was B. W. Williams, had not been heard from be anybody in these parts he left Martin County in 1865, to find his fortune in South Carolina. It was in 1822, accorded to the nephew, when the aged boy realized that the end of his wife was approaching, and that he knew of no blood relatives upon him might bestow his worldly possessions, which were considerate and acquired by hard work and personal sacrifice, wrote Hamilton county to make inquiries about some members of his family, whom he left behind in '86, then learned that his brother's H. W. Williams was residing Suffolk. From that time on the old thought considerably of his nephew, whom he named at birth 1875, Honor Whitman Williams, honor" was given the baby in memory of a dead brother of the infant's father, "Whitman" in memory of the child's grandfather. These incidents the dead uncle in South Carolina relied very vividly. He also remembered having given the boy a yellow knife as a memento, when the uncle was leaving for South Carolina.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 17. In response to an invitation sent out by Melvin I. Chisum, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association, a representative group of men conferred here last Wednesday and Thursday on the political, economic and industrial conditions affecting the Negro. The opening session of the conference was held at the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R street, northwest Wednesday afternoon, with Bishop A. J. Carey, of Chicago, presiding
Bishop Carey's Statement
"The whole world is in an upheaval of thought, of action, and as a group of people peculiarly situated in this country which we love and acclaim, we have conditions that confront us and problems to meet that perhaps no other group of people in the world have to contend with," said Bishop Carey in his opening address, "For that reason, he declared, "it behoves those of us who are deeply interested in the race and its future, the welfare of our children and our children's children, to come together and think very seriously as to just what course we should pursue in all these matters that affect our group. "He honestly believes that a government which requires of him photographic identification for civil service positions aims to preclude his indiscriminate appointment to office for which he has qualified. Nothing short of complete restoration of all political posts previously held by Negroes will satisfy the racial electorate. Negro appointments, in addition, should be made in the department of Agriculture, to supervise cooperative marketing and purchasing plans.
"Negroes have held with distinction positions in the diplomatic and consular service; such positions are now held by colored men from other countries of the world no better qualified than the American Negro. But recently the Liberian Secretary of State, Edwin Barclay, a former American Negro, in negotiated a $75,000,000 proposition in interest of Liberia. Negroes should be represented in the diplomatic service, in increasing numbers, wherever persona graa. "I shall advocate admission of Negroes to West Point and Ammanapolis, as in the past, and can see no reason why the United States Marine corps should not admit them to its splendid training and service. "The point has been reached when it is exceedingly difficult to teach the young Negro patriotism such as his forebears knew. The races in America, in segregate existence, are rapidly growing apart. It has become practically impossible for Negro sentiment to be interpreted by members of another race. To awaken interest in "America first" there should be a colored contact officer appointed in each of the federal departments to interpret the government to the people, and them to the government. That these things have not been done is regarded by the Negro as indifference of a party to which he has long been loyal.
"The Negro voter will never understand continuance of discrimination under the civil service in a Republican Administration. He is bitter in various sections, because of sharp discrimination in extension of rural credits. He feels keenly the need of assignment of Negro educational experts to national educational tasks, particularly in the South."
Committees Appointment
After Mr. Chisum and John R Hawkins had spoken and further outlined the work of the conference, committees were appointed on the political situation, industrial relations, economic outlook, residential segregation, the church, the press and race relations. The chairmen of these committees were John R. Hawkins, political situation; Kary Phillips, industrial relations; C. C. Spaulding, Durham.

The couple lived in the

According to the report, Miss Fraine stays on the premises where she works. Thursday afternoon was her regular day off, and she spent the time in the city. She boarded the Lochaven car in the downtown district shortly after 9 o'clock to return home. When she alighted, a white man to whom she had paid only slight attention, also alighted and followed in her direction. When she had gone a few yards, she quickly stepped up to her, grabbed her, made his insulting demands and proceeded to roughly disrobe the young woman, at the same time gruffly demanding that she submit to him. Miss Fraine said she fought her assailant and screamed. Daunted by the young woman's nerve, her assailant took to his heels, and so did the young woman, but in the direction of her employer's residence. Miss Fraine, who is a very fair

Lee Parsons Davis Draws
Paying Admissions
From Scion Of Wealth On
The Witness Stand.
White Plains, N. Y.—When Lee Parsons Davis, grant chief counsel for Mrs. Alice Jones Rhindlender, who is contesting the suit of her millionaire husband, Leonard Kip Rhindlender, who is suing for the annulment of their marriage in Supreme Court Justice Moreaubauer's court here of the grounds of fraud and deception, twisted loose his big heirths on the young school of wealth this week, the scales tip measurably in favor of his Negro wife.
Parage of Question
With a bargeage of interrogation-fired mercenaries at Kip, who swollened under the fire, and whose muscular contortions vividly portrayed his discomfort as he sat in the witness chair and faced his insignor, Mr. Davis led the young man from one damaging admission into another until they mounted to a total of five bald discrepancies or plain falsehoods. Here are the damaging admirals Mr. Davis squirmed out of young Brianchier, and admirals that may get turn the tables defiantly against him.
Damaging Admissions
While Rhinehander sat in the witness chair Mr. Davis paraded before his eyes a retinue of Mrs. Rhinehander's dark skinned relatives, and the young man declared that the sight of them had never before围救 his suspicion as to his bachelor's racial identity.
Mr. Davis finished before Rhinehander the bill of antiguan on which the annulment suit is based, and the young millionaire confessed to signing five false statements in four paragraphs.
When ten letters and a telegram from him to his wife were laid before him for his perusal, he confessed that he was the pursuer and she the pursued in their romance in which he at first entertained no thought of marriage.
Even though he asserted his suit was brought at his own volition, he admitted turning over to Leon Jacobs, personal counsel for his father, $238,000 in securities.
Contradicted himself at so many stages in his testimony that he considered into a maze of confusion almost breaking down at one time until his heaped speech was so apparent that he sought refuge in
Continuously driving for an admission that itihincinder was not his own free agent in the litigation an admission which Mr. Davis well knows might send the whole case crashing to nothingness, the defense attorney demanded:
More Questions
"Are you a free agent in this
action?" Nervously the witness
replied in an almost inaudible
tone:
"Yes, I am."

Norfolk's Growth

Norfolk's Growth Hampered By Race Prejudice, Says Pastor
120 YEAR-OLD
WOMAN IS DEAD
"Aunt Jane" Had Been Thru Three Wars And Could Thread A Needle Until Her Death.
Danielsville, Ga.—Mrs. Jane Strickland, "Aunt Jane," died here at the age of 130 years Saturday last. The aged woman belonged to the family of Ephriam Strickland before the Civil War.
"Aunt Jane" had been through three wars. A few weeks before her death one of her grand daughters, 51 years old, was trying to thread a needle and could not see, whereupon "Aunt Jane" requested her granddaughter to give her the needle and thread and she successfully threaded the needle.
MYSTERY GOES WITH "SLEEPING PREACHER'S"END
Wonderfully Strange Man
Carries Secret To His
Grave; Was Father Of Seventeenth Children.
Bat slburg, S. C.—Death came to Major Perry, "the sleeping preacher." Sunday morning, November 9. Much had been said and written about this wonderful old man, yet the fact remains no one has ever explained this mysterious old man.
Was Born A Slave
Major Perry was born a slave. Fifty-four years ago, following a spell of sickness, he began to preach. He could neither read nor write, but never failed to give correct wording of his text, while in his trance. He was a member of the Methodist (Church), but was never known to speak out in meetings or to take active part in the services. He never attempted to shoot except when in a sleep, when he would occasionally lay himself down and take. In his ship he would tell his hearers that he was called to preach, but never mentioned anything about it during his waking hours. When sleep and preaching all manner of means were employed to awaken him without avail. After his sermon he was as easily aroused from slumber as any other ordinary person. At no time when awake did he mention anything about his sermons, and appeared to know absolutely nothing about his preaching trances. One of the strange features about his preaching was that, although illiterate, he used excellent English, in fact his English was well high perfect, whereas when awake he used the common cotton field dialect. Soon after failing to sleep, he would announce his text, sing a hymn and proceed with his sermon.
Major Perry was the father of 17 children, 14 of whom survive him, but none has yet evidenced his eccentric character.
Rev. R. H. Bowling Declares
That City Would Rather Remain A Village Than Throw Over Tradition.
"Like the brothers of Joseph
Norfolk is in danger of spoiling
her charces for joy and plenty to the whole family. As in their case, so in hers there is need that some Joseph aise and a d m onish. "See that you fall not out by the way." So said R. Rev. Richard H. Bowling in a special sermon last Sunday night on "What Is The Matter With Norfolk's Race Relationship." After pointing out that
joy and plenty to the whole family. As in their case, so in hers there is need that some Joseph risise and ad monish. "See that ye fall not out by the way." So said Rev. Richard H. Bowling in a special sermon last Sunday night on "What I As The Matter With Norfolk's Race Relationship." After pointing out that Norfolk had been rev. R. H. Bowling comparatively poor in every way but was now finding her way to prosperity and contentment, he went on to point out that there was a peculiar danger to Norfolk's continued success in the delicate matter of her racial attitudes. He declared, "the brothers here are white and black. Of course, there are other divisions." Protestant a nd Catholic, Gentle and Jew, home-born and foreign-born. But I am thinking tonight of that dividing line of color that splits the community into thirds, one third black and two thirds white. Just at a time when all is going well and a new step toward progress is about to be taken, there brothers fall out among themselves. Race prejudice certainly does much to hold Norfolk back.
Race Prejudice
"At almost every turn, on both sides of the line, one meets the appeal to the unjust court of first and last resort, race prejudice. No matter how moritious a proposal opposition to it can be aroused by pointing out that there are racial implications involved. And so the movement to the suburbs is halted by a segregation ordinance that hems the black brother in and keeps his death and sick rate high, his economic status low, his living conditions crowded and a disgrace to modern city. Truly, he is of different color from the rest of his fellow citizens. But he is or is third of Norfolk. His segregation and its evil effects mean that the whole city is one third worse off." A Republican Party.
A Republican Party
“Or take the movement for a two party system of government. All will admit as a general proposition that this would insure more attention to this port's interests at Washington. Therefore the sponsoring of such a movement by leading business and professional men and women, many of them among the most prominent citizens of white Norfolk. But no sooner is such a movement for a strong Republican party launched than the perennial Negro question is raked out to kill it a-horning. No approaches have been made to Negroes to assist in the matter. No white people holding any different views of the race question than the staunchest Southern Democats are backing the movement. And yet to effectually stifle the movement no other tactics are needed than the raising of the race issue.

Edmund Lovitt. 70 Years Of Age Slain And Robbed While Alone In His Shack At The Buchanan Fisheries.
HAD RECENTLY DRAWN
HIS YEAR'S WAGES
With his throat horribly slushed with some dull instrument, his body showing several stab wounds, a broken jaw and signs of having badly beaten, Mr. Edmund Lovitt, an aged colored man was found in his blazing shanty on the fisheries of Buchanan and Cons, near Cape Henry Thursday. He died afterwards in Protestant hospital without having gained consciousness. Henry Hill, 1807 O'Keefe street, was later arrested and lodged in jail in connection with the crime, which Norfolk police declared appears to have been one of the most brutal ever coming to their notice.
Worked There For Years
Mr. Lovitt had been for 50 year a trusted employee of the Buchanan an fisheries. Last week, the fishing season having come to a close, Mr. Richard Buchanan, who live on the fishery on the Cape Henry road, discharged his men and paid them the remainder of their year's salary on Tuesday. Hill had been an employee of the fishery, and he too was among the men paid off. Mr. Lovitt was not to leave the fishery for residence in the city this winter, inasmuch as his wife having died, he arranged to stay at the place as caretaker through the winter.

Accidentally Kills Woman He Was To Marry
The accidental discharging of a gun in the hands of Elijah Boone who lives on Jordansville Rd, near West Norfolk, snuffed out the life of Miss Odelia Copeland, who was soon to become his bride, according to neighborhood rumors regarding the accident. The tragedy occurred Friday of last week. The discharge from the gun entered Miss Copeland's chest and death was instantaneous. She is said to have been ironing near the spot where Boone was cleaning his gun. Boone, who is about 25 years of age, was placed under arrest on a charge of murder and was committed to the County jail.
Feels Approach Of Death, Hails Passing Taxi
Mrs. Maud L. Jones, 811 Bonney's court, while out doing her regular week-end shopping Saturday night night last, became suddenly ill, realized that she was fatally strenken, and hailed a passing taxi. The cab driver, too, realized that the woman was critically ill and drove immediately to a physician. Mrs. Jones, however, was beyond human aid, and died a few minutes later. She was conscious until death and feeling certain that her end had come, she gave the cab driver a message to deliver to her two girls, Aelicia Hunt and Thelma Waites, in which she requested that they not worry about her, inasmuch as she was at peace with her Maker, was not dead but merely asleep. She told the taxi driver to take care of her girls. The children referred to are Mrs. Jones' grandchildren, it is reported.
UNION STARS ARE BACK IN GAME
The Journal and Guide has received word that Union University's two stars, Shields and Boehman, who have been temporarily out of the game will be in the line up against Hampton Institute in Thanksgiving Day. This insures the maximum of Union's strength in the game and also insures the biggest and most sensational clash in C. I. A. A. circles.
The Union-Hampton game will probably decide the association championship. Hampton wins the Seasiders will be returned champions. Union wins the honors will go to Virginia Seminary and College, who is now tied with Hampton for first place.

UNION TAKES SECOND DEFEAT IN A ROW AT HANDS OF VA. NORMAL ELEVEN; SCORE 9-0
Petersburg, Va., Nov. 14—Before a crowd of three thousand and the fast, Petersburg backs ran rough shod over Union. Chambers snaring a Union pass and racing 90 yards thru the bewildered Union team for one of the most spectacular touchdowns ever made on the local gridiron. It was a gala day for Petersburg. Alumni Day and the campus was filled with the staunch old supporters of the Blue and Yellow. The game was a victory for safe and sane football against over confidence and playing the gods of chance.
Throughout the game, even before the Union team had acknowledged defeat, they repeatedly took chance after chance against the most hopeless odds. In their own territory they repeatedly waited until fourth down to kick when the Petersburg line was charging so that the Union kicker was forced to stand 20-yards back of the line of scrimmage. Even in the beginning quarters they threw forward passes when they were near the edge of their danger zone. During the last few minutes of play they threw pass after pass but could not advance the ball further than midfield.
Hilltopners Get Off Road
Petersburg got off to a bad start in the first quarter. On the kick-off Chambers returned the ball 30 yards. On the first play Paynes after making 5 yards fumbled and it was Union's ball on Petersburg's 30 yard line. Four downs and Union lost a yard. Petersburg's ball on her won thirty yard line. Chambers made five but fumbled and Union recovered. After no gains through the line Union missed a place kick by a few inches. Baker kicked out of the danger zone and from then on Union's team never seriously threatened. On a long forward pass Union gained thirty yards. Another from the Petersburg forty-yard line landed into the hands of the fleet-footed Chambers and he raced 90 yards for a touchdown.
Teams Played Safe
Thereafter the Petersburg team played and use Baker's 65-yard punts to advantage. The steel and blue resorted to long passes throughout the remaining part of the game but could not make them good near the Petersburg danger, zone. In the last quarter a poor punt coupled with a fumble by a Union back together with a rapid recovery by Chambers and a twenty yard run from the same gave Petersburg the ball on the Union ten yard line with only one down. Baker dropped back to the 21-yard line

Shaw And Seminary Battle Desperately to Deadlock
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 14.—In one of the most closely contested C. I. A. A. games of this thrilling season, Virginia Seminary's host of drains, battled the Shaw "Bears" to a scoreless tie in her own "cage." Virginia Seminary, with a following of some 150 students and faculty including the president of the institution, came to Raleigh with the one purpose of downing Shaw and cementing her claim for the C. I. A. A. honors as a fitting climax to their exceptionally good season. However, they evidently overlooked the fact that one of the best teams in the association equally determined to show its strength as never before exhibited in its major games of the season. The Came A Thriller
The Game A Thriller
The game was a real thriller to a colorful crowd of about 900 spectators. During the entire first quarter play was almost entirely in Shaw's territory, but Shaw's eleven, battered and bruised from the Hampton game, with four first string men on the sidelines, displayed a determined "they shall not pass" spirit the like of which has never been seen on Alumni Field. Going into the second quarter, the resourceful Wheedec and his mates found not only the growing Bears resisting him, but a strong wind blowing up the field. The play changed almost immediately to Seminary's territory and the Shaw team, generalized for the first time this year by "Red" Mitchell, completely dazed the Dragons with an avalanche of short passes and brilliantly supported end runs by "Julie" Martin. Just before the end of the first half, the Seminary team stiffened under the shadow of her goal and Martin's attempt at field goal from placement, a beautiful kick went wild by inches.
Goal Attempt Goes Wild
The second attempt was actually as thrilling as the first, with Shaw having a distinct advantage due to the many penalties inflicted on Seminary and the bewildered attitude of the surprised Dragon team. Another attempt at goal from placement 4 (Martin went wild by a few feet. This was the only threat during the half; but several well directed passes were only kept from being fatal

and booted the pigskin for the extra three points. Chambers, Baker, Epps, Slaughter and Shelton were the outstanding Petersburg players while Breaux, Cotton and Tobin starred for Union. Breaux, throwing most of Union's passes and Cotton bearing the brunt of the receiving end. Epps and Shelton were balwarks of strength on the defense. While Slaughter continually forced the Union kicker to stand abnormally back.

by the close determined guarding of the Seminary secondary defense. The entire Seminary back field displayed exceptional plunging ability with Whedbee directing most of his play, at the center of the Shaw line. However, her marches were never more than two first downs duration. Shaw's crippled back-field showed the more polished attack mixing her thrusts, at tackle and end, with well-timed short passes; but the team lacked the punch necessary to put over a score.

Brick Trounces Christian College
The fast-eleven of Brick Junior College trounced Christian College to the tune of 25-0 on the home lot of the former squad. Within the first six minutes of play Brick had crossed the opponents goal for the first touchdown of the game. Christian College was unable to stop the onslaught of the Brick squad and received a crushing defeat before all was said and done.
Thanksgiving is that day of days in the football world even so it is the day the death knell of the season sends forth its dulce notes. It is that day of gala battles, a day on which everything that has been held back, is unleashed against ancient foes.
Some brilliant battles are enacted on Thanksgiving. There are teams that begin the season with their attention on nothing but the Thanksgiving game and, usually everything is held in check to be unscored against opponents on that day. Most teams care more for the winning of the Turkey Day clash than any other game on the schedule. Of course, the
NO REFLECTION UPON UNION STREET HIGH ELEVEN INTENDED
NO REFLECTION UPON UNION STREET HIGH ELEVEN INTENDED
References to "tactics used by Union Street High School" in our report last week of the Booker Washington-Union St. game were not meant to reflect upon the conduct or department of the Hampton eleven or their coach. The report was rather briefly written and time was not taken to elaborate upon details, but we wish to state here that the "tactics referred to were merely objections to a certain official," and to certain decisions rendered, and these objections Union Street High feels were justified.
The Union Street High School has a fine eleven with a fine record which stands unmarred by anything that happened during the recent game with Booker Washington.
Livingstone Downs N.C. College 13-6
Salisbury, N. C., Nov. 13.—Livingstone college won from North Carolina College in a game that was replete with thrills and tense moments though Livingstone had the better of the contest throughout. During the first quarter Carolina made its longest gains when the "Red Devils" went through Livingstone's line for two first downs. During the remainder of the game they added two more first downs for a total of four. The "Bears" had no difficulty, however, in running through "Carolina's Best" for nineteen first downs. The Bears made five first downs to get within scoring distance but in the last minute of play O'Kelly, Carolina's sensation, recovered a fumble behind the line of seriimage and van 80 yards for a touch down which ended the game.
The fast Livingstone ends were mainly responsible for Carolina's inability to gain as hardly a play started but what they did not break up with the help of the tackles. Melbourne and Smith were these speed demons. The backfield was hitting on all four as every man was a consistent ground gainer. The end runs of stuff; the line-bucking of Shaw and Wooden and the all-round playing and kicking of Reid, must be mentioned. Both teams completed one forward pass, Coward receiving for Carolina to be downed in his tracks, while Reid gained 20 yards on Livingstone's pass.

Sweeping down the gridiron with an uncanny attack, Johnson, the Berkley Express, minus a driving wheel, a few nuts and bolts and other sundry equipments that make for speed, these things rendering him incapable of displaying any of his flush and dash with the oval, he almost single handed whipped the visiting eleven with his cool, calm, rare and uncerring generalship.

PLUCKY AGGIES DEFEATED BY SEASIDERS 12-0
BY THOMAS W. YOUNG
Hampton, Va., Nov. 14.—The ranguard of A. & T.'s forces came here today, met Hampton in one of the season's decisive and brilliant chases, and now turns back on the small end of a 12-0 score. Samuel Scott and Elmer Baker performed the scoring assignment in the second and last quarters after the Hammers had apparently outclassed those who proved to be the victors, the former negotiating Hampton's only touchdown in the second period and the latter registering field goals in the final quarter.
All reports about A. & T.'s unfair and unspoilsmanlike playing on the gridiron were definitely counteracted in today's game. Not a single penalty was exacted upon either team during the full 60 minutes of relentless combat; not a sign of unnecessary roughness for lack of sportsmanship was seen.
For Hampton, Captain Pindle and Ruffin capable held up their share of the line duty in center and tacete; while Fortune playing guard himself an unwelcomed figure in the eyes of the "Tarheels," several times recovering fumbles by A. and T. Vosburgh did double work, punting with results and doing his bit on end. Byrd pitched his machine through the entire game and proved himself a stellar general and ground gainer. Baker came in for his share of praise. His kicking speaks for itself in the scoring; but today he played another role in conjunction with the toe performance. On the delivery end of Hampton's effective air offense he hurled passes to Hargrove and Davis for 20 yards and 25-yard gains, respectively. Too much cannot be said of the notable showing of Lee and Davis, who evaded the Hammers' interference and brought to earth their larks, thus saving the victors some embarrassment.
Lane, the Hammer fullback, beat the Blue and White fortification and skilfully and cleverly effected long gains for his mates; his game was doubled, the most cleverly executed on his side. The rest of the Aggies off combined a bit of hard work with power. Their drives at the opening of the fray shout offright over the Hampton stands. Again we take leave to hand the spirit in which the A. & T. squad played and loss the game.

HOWARD ELEVEN AND LINCOLN IN PRIME FOR FRAY
BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR.
The Howard-Lincoln "Classic of the Year" is just around the corner and both elevens have been popping along at a lively clip with attention focussed on one thing, Turkey Day and Twenty-first Annual clash.
The Lion aggregation, falling far below its last year's form by getting under way in poor fashion comes back with something to offer in the line of real football playing that has, somewhat lifted it out of the rut. Lincoln suffered not only the loss of several stars but those who had been considered capable of lifting the gaps have not in every case measured up to expectations with the illness of Coach Young, the absence of "Sty" Woods and Martin, assistant coaches, are the causes of Lincoln's bad start, acceding to information coming from reliable sources. But Lincoln is there to stay this time and has made a great deal of improvement over her previous form with the defenders striking their stride. Lincoln is out to repeat its last year's feat of downing the Bison squad. Howard Much Stronner
Howard is much stronger than last year and has gone through the season without a defeat. Howard will give Lincoln a different kind of entertainment in this clash and will force the Lions to their best in a mite that holds prospect of beating the staged thus far. The Lions have blacked every team they have played this season, not being able to cross their goal for any kind of tally.
Information from up the line seems to point to Philadelphia turn out in strong numbers to give with eleven a royal time. A ree-breaking crowd is expected to witness the game and preparations are being made to take care of the holiday pleasure seekers and foot-

Social Events Will Abound
The social festivities for Thanksgiving promise to be brilliant and scintillating, with numerous activities going on all over the Quaker town. The Howard student body, together with the university band will journey to Philly to lend color to the gala day. There will be a musicale and band contest with the musical aggregations of Howard, Lincoln and Wanamakers competing. There will be a dance at Music Fund Hall and various other fraternity dances and privacies.

ST. PAUL-V.N.I.I GAME LOOMS AS A BIG EVENT
Lawrenceville, Va.—The St. Paul Virginia Normal Annual Thanksgiving Football Game will be played at Russell Field, and this 1925 event promises to be the premier attraction in Southern Virginia on Turkey Day, barring none. The social functions which will feature the night and morning before and the night after the game will surpass all former activities of this nature in the Old Dominion. The indications are that the whole St. Paul Virginia Normal November 26th program will be cochonmaking.
St. Paul is not overlooking the minutest details in making preparations for the comfort and entertainment of the thousands who will attend the game. Three sections of knockdown bleachers have been installed, and these, together with the several hundred other seats, will provide ample seating space for the huge crowd. Provision is being made to park four hundred automobiles, so that in case of inclement weather the occupants may observe the game from their cars.
Virginia Normal will run an excursion to the game. The entire student body and faculty, aggregating 800, of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute will journey to St. Paul Normal and Industrial School on the day of the game to support and cheer their team and to enjoy the St. Paul hospitality. The St. Paul Varsity Club will entertain the St. Paul and Virginia Normal students at a sociable in the lower auditorium of St. Paul's Memorial Chapel on Thursday evening, while the faculty of St. Paul will be hosts to the Virginia Normal faculty, the Alumni a n friends of the two institutions . . . the library and the academic anny.

St. Paul and Virginia Normal will begin the game with their fun strength. Each machine is primed for the fight, and the predictions are that "The Thanksgiving Day Football Game" will be the most brilliant spectacle ever; witnessed in the celebrated County of Brunswick.

THE THANKSGIVING DAY FEAST
The table's spread, the turkey lies
Upon his back, raised keel;
But lo! he'll sit 'till night doth fall—
They're at the football field.
HOWARD-LINCOLN—Philadelphia. Any team that plays thru Turkey day without having its goal line crossed should have overwhleing odds over any eleven it comes in contact with on the final day. That's one reason why Howard should wip Lincoln. The Bisons have a stiff line, fast backfield, and clever pilot. These may also be factors in deciding the final score of this singular classic. Willforce beat Lincoln; Howard and Lincoln both tied West Virginia; and Force fell before the Bisons. Yet one never can predict the future of one of Coach Young's teams, as one writer has said, for the Lions may stage an upset to crown the last act after suffering several humiliations this season. Howard should win.
UNION-HAMPTON—Richmond, Va. Another team which has kept a virgin goal line up to Thanksgiving Day is Hampton. Union began the season in spectacular fashion but has begun to recede in her last two contests. No team can play two months of top notch football; the strain is too great. The Sensiders have been coming steadily upward since Seminary edged them out 3-0. Even if Shields and other stars are back in their disinherited togs, the Panther ought not be powerful enough to stop Hampton. In this battle rests the fate of the C. I. A. A. Championship. If Hampton comes through, the crown takes a stairway trip.
WILBERFORCE-WEST VIRGINIA—Columbus. Here's a battle that in all probabilities will end in a draw. West Virginia has a strong defense, one which may prove versatile enough to check Wilberforce's best. Yet Wu Fang Ward and Richie may be able to tear away from the Virginian pick. Eleven pairs of eyes were focused on the Chink in the Bison fight two weeks ago and he neither moved nor got started. Even the peeless Grange can be checked if he isn't allowed to start. This happen to be Ward's fate, and the same fate may frown upon him on November 26th, in which case West Virginia may win.
TUSKEGEE-TALLADEGA—Tuskegge. Stevenson, Tuskegge's kicking, passing, and line bombarding ace will have a lot to say in this contest, and when any eleven plays the brand of ball that the Pride of Dixie has during an entire season it is hard to beat. Tuskegge will be hard to beat and should be two or three touchdowns better than her opponents.
VIRGINIA SEMINARY-BLUEFIELD—Lynchburg. Blue field always has a tough machine but the Dragons will apply too much headwork to be halted. Seminary has gone well all season with one defeat and one tie and is in for a high rating in the Conference.
ST. PAUL-VIRGINIA NORMAL—Lawrenceville. There should not be much doubt as to the outcome of this affair; Petersburg has played superior ball to date. If it comes to a case of kicking the Hilltopers still have the edge with Baker doing the work.
SHAW-A, & T.—Greensboro, N. C. Here's a fight to finish battle for the Carolina championship, with Shaw a slight edge in the generalship department and passing attack. If records mean anything, the Shawites will come through.
MOREHOUSE-FISK—Nashville. Fisk should give the Georgians some trouble, but probably not enough to win.
MORNIS BROWN-ATLANTA U.—Atlanta. A chance here for further Atlanta U. fame. A U. lost to Howard 7-0 and should win at about the same count.

Hampton-Union.-Richmond. This is the leading grid bout of the year in this neck of woods and it holds much glow and glamour for followers in this section that the Howard-Lincoln clash holds for the pikskin lovers of the East. Hampton will enter the fray with the advantage and will carry through to take the Panther aggregation. Hampton holds all she has for this game and some very interesting things are expected from the Seasiders. They will uncork all of the season's rent up fury and kick Union all over the lot. Of course, Union will have something to offer in the line of stiff opposition, but Hampton will take all of this and will come out of the fray, with something like a brace of tallies

ST. PAUL DOWNS ST. AUGUSTINE BY TWO TALLIES
Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va.
Nov. 14.—St. Paul conquered St.
Augustine, her ancient rival and
sister school, 13 to 0, today. The
"All-Saints' Football Classic" was
colorful and interesting, and a record
breaking crowd of enthusiastic
spectators witnessed the fifteenth
annual game between the two
institutions
It took all the ingenuity and football tactics" the Tigers possessed to subdue the "Blue Birds" from old North State. St. Augustine come to St. Paul for victory and demonstrated that fact in the first play of the snappy jamboree. The plucky and crafty trained Tarmheels hit their famous stride in the early minutes of the game, and proved themselves to be one of the toughest foes St. Paul has met this season. The "wonder team" was put to the acid test, but was able to hold its own in every emergency.
Substitutions: St. Paul, Cook for Robinson; St. Augustine, Haywood fo; Taylor, J. Boyer for Carter, Jones for Hayes, Hayes for Jones, Grice for Catchins.

or something of the same value.
Shaw-A. & T.—Greensboro
Here will be another scramble of merit down in the Old North State a battle between two ancient foes and a set that ought to prove interesting from gone to gong.
Shaw has the lighter squad, this being, about the only disadvantage the Bear Brigade will have to suffer. The 'Aggies have a hard charging eleven and will dent the line of a number of the good ones, but unless they learn to dent at the woper time they are generals.
the proper time they buy this gamer. Shaw is voted to take this scramble ere the referee's whistle sounds the games requiem. Shaw ought to get seven points on A. & T. to take the game. A, and T. appears several touchdowns stronger than most teams in the midfield but when striking distance h a been reached, she loses her punch to put over a winning tally. There will be much air attacking in this melee. Both teams are good in this department of the game, with Shaw having a slight advantage. The Aggies are very threatening though. Shaw has a few first string men on the hospital list and these vats are expected to be in condition to enter the fray.
Va. Normal-St. Paul—Lawrenceville. St. Paul, has come around with a little something to snare in the last two starts and will furnish more tenuishment than indications pointed to early in the season. In this battle with the Hilltoppers, the Tiger clan is slated to go down in defeat. The scoring in this game will be slight with Petersburg on the heavier end. The game ought to be as good as any on the card with St. Paul coming back with a great deal of added strength and punch.
Va. Seminary-Bluefield—Lynchburg. The Deacons will mix with a team from the west, and a squad that has the stuff. Too much cannot be said about this scramble, because of the fact that Bluefield's real strength is not known in these parts. But as much as is known, she will give Seminary all she can take care of.
Wilberforce-W. Va.—Columbus
In the west we have two mighty
aggregations that play the game
and force all opponents to do the
same. The encounter is the classic
of the west. The Bulldogs are
coming through in this game with
the Bobeats. It will be another
game in which the scoring will be
small and when the game ends.
Wilberforce will be leading the
jambore.
Howard-Lincoln — Philadelphia.
Here, brothers of moleskin clay foot ball jugglers, will be a scrap of taste, merit, class and the rest of it. Howard enters this fray determined to avenge last year's ignominious defeat at the hands of the rampaging Lions and this she will do before the smoke and nois of battle have cleared the horizon. The Bisons come back this year with much more than they had to offer last year and Lincoln will not find the going easy. This ought to be a closely contested battle with Howard having the edge on the team from Pennsylvania. Howard will ease by with one touchdown with Lincoln not very far in the background.
Tuskegee-Talladega—Tuskegee Here will be a bitter struggle between two of the 'South's strong football elevens with Tuskegee in a position to come through in great shape.

ROYAL A.C.BEATS TENNESSEE 26-0
BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR.
The Royal A. C. romping down the gridiron with a relentless attack hambasted the Tennessee Athletic Club to the tune of 26-0 in a one-sided affair at League-Park Monday before handful of fans that gave both factions good support. The boys from Church St. were unable to keep up with the pace set by the Queen St. boys and the latter came near scoring at will, making a tally in each of the four quarters.
The Royals sent a well balanced eleven on the field with most of the footballers carrying out their work in a creditable manner. Tennessee only threatened to register a tally twice and these were not serious threats. However, they came as the result of well executed passes that caught the Royal squad off their feet. One was for 21 yards and last one netted 45 yards. Each time the ball was placed with scoring distance, with time cutting
Atlanta meets the tough Morris Brown elan at Ponce de Leon Park in a mighty clash, in which the former eleven will slip over, to take the gravy.

shoot, the last threat. With the exception of these two bursts of speed and daring, Tennessee seldom got out of her territory.
Features of Game
The features of the game were the playing of Rochelle, who showed ability in skirting ends for long gains and connected with two touchdowns after thrilling runs; the smashing game played by "Buster" Blount and "Ham."
The final count should have been at least six more points. West garnered an on-side kick and squirmed and twisted for forty-five yards for a touchdown, but the referee said him nay and the ball had to be kicked over again, and why—no one knows.

Smith Gridders Take S. C. State
Orangeburg, S. C., Nov. 13.—At the Richland County Fair in Columbia, Friday, South Carolina State Gridders met the Johnson C. Smith aggregation and succeeded in holding them to a score of 6-0. During the first half, both teams, after a few attempts to plunge the line recorded to defensive play by kicking the ball on the first down. Near the close of the second quarter, Taylor, by brilliant playing, intercepted a pass and carried the ball into Johnson C. Smith's territory. This play was followed by a long pass from Hopkins to Edwards, which put the ball within two yards of the opponent's goal with only ten seconds to play. Here State College lost her only opportunity to score.
John C. Smith's touchdown came near; the close of the third quarter, when a long pass put the ball within three yards of the goal. State's defense stiffened but was unable to hold and on the fourth down, Corinne carried the ball over for the only touchdown of the game.

Both teams have enviable records. In fact, their record tops that of any football team in this State outside of the schools, and there is no reason at all that there should not be an excellent game played between them in Newport News. Not-only in ability to play football, but both teams hold excellent records for sportsmanship.
Booker Washington
(Continued from page 5.) style in which the Fighting Bookers took this game, also displays the kind of team the local high school has, an aggregation that, from indications, ranks with the best in the running, southeast, northeast, southwest or northwest. The Bookers are there and there strong.
Game Begins Conservative
The opening period found both
elevents playing a cautious game of
football with each team punting
frequently. Douglass was wary of
the Fighting Bookers and vice ver-
Bookers received the kickoff and were forced to kick after being unable to advance the ball in the enemy's territory. The period was also, featured by much fambling on the part of both teams, with the Bookers recovering all of theirs and part of the fumbles by the visiting team. As the game progressed Johnson turned on his big guns and unleashed an attack and chased Douglass up a tree and rendered her unable to shake the berries down. This attack carried with it, a bombardment from the air and Douglass was sent scouting for the dugouts. Two passes netted the Bookers 38 yards with Johnson on the firing end and Williams a team grabbing the oval out of the air. This placed the ball on Douglass' 10 2-yard line and an incomplete pass in the end zone gave the ball to the opposing eleven on its 20-yard line. After two thrusts at Booker Washington's line, only getting 4 1-2 yards, the field. Johnson signalled for a fair catch and took the oval on Douglass' 47 yard line. At this point "Bob" Tolliver was shifted from the backfield and placed on his wing position where he grabbed a pass for five yards, but Douglass was fighting-mad now and braced to hold the local team for downs. Douglass began her offensive with P. Williams and Bennett bearing the brunt of what little yardage gained by the Ducklings. This attack was shot-lived and Douglass was forced to punt out and here the Fighting Bookers began to troop, with Bob Tolliver and Williams carrying on in great shape the ball was finally worked down to Douglass' 20-yard line via passes from Johnson to Williams and Tolliver. The last pass cooked the Duck's goose, with Tolliver garnering a pass for 22-yards and easing over the last white chalk line for the first touchdown. Tolliver anexed the extra point from a placement kick and this period which was the second, went up without any more scoring.
Scores in Next Frames
The Fighting Bookers had smelled blood and all the Ducks looked the same. The second half found Booker Washington receiving the kickoff and after failing to dent the line of the Baltimore team, another aerial attack was unscored. Johnson passed 11 yards to Ross and on a fake play, "Pap" Tynes ensued through tackle for 35 yards before being nailed. An attempted run, which resulted into a stumble, a fumble and recover, the Bookers added 9 1-2 yards and the ball was placed on Douglass' 6-yard line. Ross cracks the line for 3 yards and first down and on another fake. Tynes slips through for the second tally of the game, which came within five minutes of play in the third quarter. Tynes failed to answer the extra point.
After the kick-off the Bookers continued to romp and were dashing up and down the landscape in glorious style, with Douglass trying to hold these wild boys in check, but they wouldn't be checked. The game sagged a trifle with Douglass getting her first down of the game on completing a pass, good for 15 yards, but this burst of speed was soon held in leash with Douglass being thrown for, almost as much as she gained. Another attempt at the passing game proved miserable for the visiting clan, when Thomas, a sub, but a Fighting Booker for all that, intercepted a pass and ran completely wild for 53 yards and a third touchdown. Tolliver failed to add the extra point and the score now standing at 19-0; but—

Douglass Comes Around
It was now the final spasm with
Booker Washington leading with a
somewhat safe margin, but Douglass came from far behind to get,
at least, a small mite of the gravy.
The Ducks didn't oily get small mite of the sopping, but threw such a scare into Bookers' camp that these grid warriors were tortering on their throne of victory with Douglass punching hard and strong.
Conch Wilson feeling that he had the game sewed up and the needle chucked into a haystack, snatched

his faithful regulars and sent in the second string men to get a bit of the Ducklins and here's where the fun began. These subs were willing, but weak and Wilson realized his folly in taking such a chance in a game that meant so much. Almost immediately, after this wholesale substitution, Douglass had accounted for a score which came as the result of a forward pass from P. Williams to Mack who raced 65 yards underfired for a touchdown. This tally was soon followed by another executed between the same two men and the latter raced 75 yards for another talley and an extra point. Things looked bad here, for the second string fighting Bookers. All of this happened when the gamas was very far spent and the locals got together to brace and check this sudden outburst of speed to send Douglass back crushed and defeated.
What happened in the final stages of this fray was just enough to lend more color to a colorful game. Booker Washington's victory would have been more impressive had not the conch elected to send in his subs, who are, yet unable to travel in fast company. The entire Douglass eleven played a well-balanced game, with P. Williams, Veney and Mack leading the parade. The Fighting Bookers had a few more luminaries than did the visitors and Johnson stood out as the most brilliant star of the game'though he only ran with the ball on two or three occasions

when he intercepted a pass or got a pout-out that fell short of its mark. The Berkley Express made his generalship stand out in bold belief in this game and his team mates gave him wonderful support, with "Pap" Tynes, "Bob" Tolliver, Ross, Thomas and others bearing up their assignments in grand style. The entire first line of defense of the Bookers stopped the Douglas backs from gaining. They held the Baltimore team to two first downs while their backs amassed eight.

Payne, Howard's quarterback, tried a drop kick which failed. Then Atlanta University recovering the ball kicked to their own 40-yard line. Payne dropped back and hurled a 30-yard pass to Dan Brown who was thrown on t he "Hurricanes" 5-yard line. Payne called "Tick" Smith to take the ball over. Smith exhibited his sterling qualities which will make him an All-American by placing the ball behind A. U's goal line. Payne added the extra point.

NORFOLK A. C. DROPS ANOTHER TO RICHMOND
Receives Worse Defeat in History Of Club—Outplayed In All Departments Of Game.
By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 11.—The Norfolk Athletic Club received the worse drubbing in the history of the club, here today in a tough game with the strong Williams Lodge of Elks eleven, which formerly sailed under the nomen of Adelphia.
Jumping in the fray determined to down the Norfolk team, the Richmond aggregation turned on the offensive guns in full force and registered two first downs before Norfolk A. C. could get startled. The first touchdown came early in the opening period of a neatly executed forward pass and the other on a fumbled ball. After each kickoff from these tallies, Richmond was on the offensive again trying to gile up a larger score, but the Norfolk A. C. was clearly outplayed, outspread, outrun and outclassed in this encounter and a number of the performers seemed unable to stand the graff.
The final scoring for the day came late in the last stanza and was the result of another well timed pass. This touch-down was the only points registered by the Richmond team that were clearly earned. Norfolk was pushed down the field and - variety of plays, capped with this forward pass caught N. A. C. off their guard. The first two touchdowns of the game were registered on account of loose playing on the part of the Norfolk Athletic Club.
In spite of the one-sided score, the game was not without its good points and outstanding players for both clubs. "Tennessee" Gross "pushed on the offense for the Richmond eleven and was responsible for much yardage gained for the Capital City team. The entire Adelphia eleven played a jamup game, "Pat" Thornton, versatile end for the N. A. C. covered himself again with honor on Hovey field. His defensive playing was the feature of the game, making many, seemingly impossible tackles. The work of Wright on the defense was also excellent.
ATLANTA FALLS BEFORE HOWARD IN HARD GAME
5,000 Witness Fray On Rain-soaked Muddy Field. Scoring Done In Final Stage.
Washington, D. C.—Howard University kept its goal line inviolate in conquering a hard-fighting Atlanta University team in a spirited gridiron joust before 5,000 spectators on a rain-soaked, muddy field, at the American League Park, on Friday afternoon, November 13th. The score was 7 to 0. The mudrunning "Bisons" were in real danger only once, when the mudsmeared Crimson Hu riece team threatened Howard's goal line. In the third quarter, Wright, stellar Atlanta University end, intercepted a forward pass and tan 50 yards before he was over-taken and thrown by "Biff" Martin on Howards 13 yard line.
Atlanta finding it impossible to gain through Howard's line and because of the sea of mud resorted to a kicking game. The "Hurricanes" kicked on their first downs. Howard resorted many times to kicks, the exchange being about e-

145 GRANBY STREET “
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 17—Judge
Frank G, Murphy yesterday re-
fused the motion of defense coun-
sel to dismiss the defendants in the
Sweet caze. but notified counsel it
could renew the motion when the
defense witnesses have been heard.
The motion had been made on
ground that the State had failed
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
completely to establish proof of a
conspiracy to commit. murder, as
alleged in the indictments.
(On the yrrounds that no testimony
has been submitted to prove con-
spiracy on the part.of the eleven
defondants in the.house at the time
of the murder, and that least of all
the evidence concerns Mrs. Sweet,
Avthur Garfield Hayes, of the de-
fense. counsel, asked dismissal of
the charge against her. Later, af-
ter arguments on the motion by
Robert M. Toms, prosecuting at-
torney, his asistants and, by Hayes
and Clarence Darrow, Hayes en-
larged his motion and asked that
the charge against all the defend-
ants be dismissed and that the
judge direct a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Murphy, Friday told Toms
he did not. believe evidence , had
been submitted to prove a conspir-
acy on the part of; the defendants.
Hayes in his motion said the
prosecution had so far proved but
four points in the trial:,That there
were arms in the house; that there
was some chooting; that there were
11 people in the house, and that
‘there was shooting from the house.
None of these points have bearing
jhe said, on a conspiracy on the part
of the’ defendants to commit the
murder of Breiner.
“If there was an agreement of
any kind connected with this af-
fair,” Hayes said, “the agreement
was’ between Sweet and his friends
to protect his property. All the
evidence shows that these defend-
andts were there for a lawful pur-
pose. ‘The old principle of a man’s
Tight to protect his: home as his
castle applies directly here.
Calls Gathering Lawful
“Every condition in the house
was consistent with a lawful pur-
pose. There were no lights be-
cause the people in the house feared
they would be killed from outside.
There was no furniture because
they had not moved into the house.
There was food cooking on the
kitchen stove because every man
must eat, and because none of
them could have gone outside the
house to obtain food.
“This whole case stands or, falls
with the proof or failure to prove
a conspiracy to commit: murder.”
Darow then took tho floor and
said that in the comfort and se-
curity of the courtroom it was dif.
ficult to say whether the accused
had fired too quickly.
“A lawful conspiraey can never
ripen’ into crime. There might
have been a conspiracy of the de-
fendants to protect the property
jand lives of some of the 11. It
the prosécution desires to prove
conspiracy against one man, it
/must submit evidence directly 2-
'gainst that one man. So far in
[this trial there has been no evi
dence against any one man of the
11 charged.
“Only one bullet killed Breiner.
Who fired that bullet? ‘The man
who fired the shot can only be
guilty of manslaughter, but who
[wag that one man? Let the prose-
‘cution pick him out’

SIFTING THE NEWS
Seven years ago, on the eleventh
day of November, at the eleventh
hour, men and women of every race
and creed laid down arms and re-
joiced that the end of bloodshed
was in sight. A few days ago, on
the eleventh of this month, at’ the
eleventh hour, for two minutes the
cities were still. It was Armistice
Day. In stores, in offices, every-
where, reverent’ tribute was paid.
Mothers whose sons died in the con-
‘flict brushed back a tear. Futhews,
a little more reserved, comforted
‘them. Perhaps it was’all a fairy
‘tale, and someday maybe Johnny
‘would conie marching home.
In the three great capitals of
‘the world—Washington, London
and Paris—the grave of the Un-
known Soldier, that greatest of
‘symbols of individual sacrifice in
‘a common cause, was the center of
tho day's observance. President
Coolidge officially paid tribute at
the grave of the American Un-
known Soldier, placing a wreath
upon him who represented the dead
a America, whether red, white or
black. te

```markdown
```
Dr. Joseph Quarles, a widely known physician in this section, and for a number of years a resident of Berkley ward, died. Sunday night at the Prostestant Hospital, following a lingering illness. Dr. Quarles was in his 55th year of age. His funeral was on Wednesday at Central Baptist Church, where memorials were inferred at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Berkley. The Tidewater Medical Society acted as honorary ball bearers.
Dr. Quarles was a native of Louisa country, where he was born the son of Frederick and Martha Quarles. He was a graduate of the college department of V. & N. L. I., and of the Leonard Medical School, Shaw University. He began practice in Berkley, 24 years ago, where he had lived until his death.
Dr. Quarles was married to Miss lecely Otis a number of years ago. To this union were born four children, the Misses Catherine and Mary, who are students in the college department at V. N. & I.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
(Berkley Ave.)
The morning services were opened with lively singing after which the pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond, prescheduled to a large audience from the 62nd chapter of Isa. "The Lord Takes Pleasure in His People." It was a splendid monochrome to the Relief Choir. He showed that the Lord was just waiting to come into our lives to use as, but we crush Him with worldly delight. A Representative from the Weaver Orphan Home spoke after the sermon. The church gave her a donation. The B. Y. P. U. was full of "pep" Come out and join the large numbers.

Langston, former pastor of the Bank Street Church, now of Tuskegee Institute, will fill the pulpit at both morning and evening services.

Sunday at the hour of preaching,
Rev. R. H. Bowling announced his
text, Nehemiah 2:19, subject, "Let

Bowling administered the sacred
rite of Baptism.
In the afternoon Holy Communion
was administered to a large
number. The hand of fellowship
was extended to those who had
united with the church since last

At night Rev. Bowling proceeded
to discuss his subject as advertised:
"What is the Matter with Norfolk's Relations?" text,
Genesis 45:24. This was a powerful
discourse and greatly enjoyed
by all who heard it. The Women's

Rhinelander Writes 300 Letters
(Continued From Page One)
"Do you really want to proceed with this lawsuit?"
Rhinelander hesitated. The strain under which he had labored at the merciless fire of his inquisitor was telling on him. Again nervously he muttered:
"I do."
Rhinelander admitted that he lived and slept with attorney Jacobs; that he followed orders; asked no questions and was given no explanations.
Mrs. Rhinelander Stands
Attorney Davis turned to Mrs. Rhinelander and ordered her to stand up beside him at the other end of the counsel table, facing young Kip. With tears filling her eyes, she stood slowly and quietly.
"She didn't look any different when you wooded her in 1921, 1922, 1923, and 1924 then she does now," the lawyer demanded of Rihanna. He admitted she did not. But Kip insisted that no suspicion of her color had ever entered his mind. He had never questioned anyone about Alice's color before their marriage. Attorney Davis handed

Secretary of Baptist Publishing House Made inspiring Address Before Sunday Mass Meeting.
Addressing an audience that taxed the seating capacity of Second Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board of Nashville, Tenn., told his hearers how to build "front line" church schools
Mr. Boyd outlined three essentials for success: conservation, conservation and concentration, and his eloquent address was skillfully woven around these fundamentals. First, said the speaker, the Sunday School worker must get hold of the boys and girls of the community and clinch their interest in the school; next, the worker must hold the interest of the young—and he told how this may be done—and lastly having gotten their interest it was the job of the worker to stabilize it and maintain its channels. Mr. Boyd's closing perseverance was an eloquent appeal to return to the fundamentals of home life.
The National Baptist Publishing Board, of which Mr. Boyd is secretary, is the largest Negro publishing plant in the world. Last year twelve million pieces of literature were turned out on its presses and distributed among Baptist churches and Sabbath schools. Lessons quarterly, commentaries, hymn books, Bibles, etc., are published by the board at the Nashville plant, which has physical assets valued at a million dollars.
The meeting was held under the joint auspices of First Calvary and Second Calvary Baptist churches, Rev. O. J. Allen, D. D., pastor of First Calvary presided. The minister of the two churches and the orchestra of First Calvary furnished music for the occasion.
While in the city Rev. Mr. Boyd was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. C. P. Madison at their residence on Washington Avenue. He left Sunday night for Nashville.
him the bill of particulars and demanded that he read the paragraph in which he swore that when Emily, Mrs. Rhinelander's sister, married a colored man, Rhinelander himself brought up the subject of color to his wife, and she asserted she was pure white. Rhinelander admitted this statement was untrue, and he told him. Davis wanted to know if there was anything else untrue in the bill.
**Finds Four Falsehoods**
Rhinelander perusing the paper closely, with hands trembling and muscles twitching nervously, admitted that four assertions in it were untrue. These assertions were that Alice's representations that she was white were made orally; that no copies of the representation could be formed; that Mrs. Rhinelander had read and replied to the advice he made to her color when Mrs. Brooks, the sister, married Brooks, the colored butler.
Mr. Davis, still pursued the witness with exhausting interrogations and laying bare embarrassing situations for him, ordered Mrs. Brooks to stand up. Mrs. Brooks is the darkest of the Jones' daughters and there could be no mistaking her race. She obeyed the attorney, but Rhinlander said the sight of her four years ago had not stirred his suspicion as to her racial lineage. Her husband, Robert Brooks, a young Virginia colored man stood up, upon Mr. Davis's request. He is darker than any of the other principals on the defense side. Rhinlander still insisted that his wife's sister's marriage to him had occasioned no suspicion in Rhinlander's mind as to the family's racial identity. Grace, another sister, stood, Mr. Jones, the father, stood, but the bridegroom insisted that the color of none of them had ever been cause of his suspicions as to their racial blood.
As Mr. Rhinelander sat in the witness chair diamonds from a handsome ring on his finger glittered. Davis demanded it, then asked if he had not given it to Alice in the early days of their engagement. Rhinelander answered in the affirmative, then Davis asked:
Q. But didn't you give it to Grace first?
A. I did.
Q. Before you met Alice?
A. Yes, and her mother later insisted on me taking it from Grace so I gave it to Alice in November, 1921.
Q. And didn't you put this star sapphire ring with four diamonds on her finger with a wish, the wish that she would become your wife?
A. I don't remember.

New York, Nov. 13—Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N.

A. A. C. P. This action has come about not only by reason of the defense of Dr. O. H. Sweet in Detroit, undertaken by the N. A. A. C. P. but inasmuch as many of the victims of mob attempts at segregation have been colored doctors of standing.
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
V.E.P. PREPARES FOR COMPLETE BUS SERVICE
Company Gives Assurances That It Accepts Confidence Bestowed By Favorable Vote In Election.
With the endorsement given the unified transportation ordinance by the voters at the polls in a referendum election Tuesday, the dual transportation system which has prevailed here for the past six years comes to an end. Bus and street car transportation is to be coordinated under unified operation and ownership of the Virginian Electric and Power Company. According to the expressed understanding given by the transportation company pledges and by provision of the ordinance under which the company becomes sole owner of public transportation, the new plan will effect a universal transfer system, whereby passengers may transfer from streets to buses and vice versa.
Busmen's Tactics Prove Boomerang
City Council, passed the ordinance providing for unified transportation in July last. On it a referendum election was forced by the Bus Association. Intervening events pointed to a stiff contest between those for and those against the ordinance, and it is conceded that the busmen succeeded in corraling a very considerable amount of sympathy for their side, which if they had held until the day of the election, undoubtedly would have caused an entirely different outcome of the balloting. But minute tactics of persons responsible for the busmen's campaign who injected the race into the situation in a most insensitive manner, most alone insulting to the colored voters, but distressing and hold an utterly illegal appeal to a large number of beneficed-minded white people. There is scarcely any doubt that these causes, meant to aid the busmen's cause, proved a boomerang by having an entirely opposite effect.
New Confidence In Company
Another factor which had for the past several weeks steadily undermined the strength of the busmen's fight, was the apparent attitude of the new owners of the V. E. P. to give the Norfolk public a square deal; to become a part of the local community and to aid determinedly in the future development of the city. Since the new traction company owners have been operating here, it has been apparent, even to those who were deeply in sympathy with the busmen, against the prejudice which existed against the V. R. P. was rapidly being supplanted by a feeling of cordial cooperation between the traction company and the public.
The V. E. P. has pledged itself to a policy of progressiveness; to the extension of new transportation arteries wherever warranted, and to strive to give the people of this community unsurpassed transportation service and facilities. The vote of the people on Tuesday was virtually a vote of confidence in the capability and the determination of the company to live up to its pledge.
The colored busmen served their community well. There was no complaint whatsoever with the service they were rendering their public. They have been instrumental in the development of certain areas populated by colored residents, which probably would not have witnessed such rapid growth had not this, the bar operations, provided the operators, be the only sort of transportation available in these sections. There were large number of persons who felt that the situation as it affected the colored busmen was quite different from that affecting the white, and, regretted that their case was interwoven with that of the white operators, and, of course, had to suffer a like fate.
Norfolk's Growth
Hampered By
Race Prejudice

prejudice. Just say to certain citizens, regardless of color, that one man cars or common carrier busses will make for race intermingling, and you need advance no other argument. But just suppose that Norfolk should grow as large as New York with its great crowd and perpetual rush. How could you apply the present rigid Jim Crow laws? And yet there be none white Norfolkians who would turn back the hand of time for thirty-five years and have Norfolk be and remain a village where the Negro might be Negro in his place' than see Norfolk become a great metropolis where the Negro would be treated as a man. So much for the white man's attitude of racial exquisiteness and the future of our cities.
A Jim Crow Town
"But just think of what such an attitude on our part would lead to. Carried to its logical conclusion, I would have not only separate cars and separate buses, but as in some Southern cities, separate elevators in stores and a positive discouragement of Negro trade in certain larger establishments. Also, there would follow the closing out of all Negro shops and market stands catering almost exclusively to white patrons. And why not? If it is so dangerous for members of two races to get anywhere near each other, why allow them to be anywhere near each other at any time or under any circumstances? "O colored Norfolk, you have Norfolk become known as a would
you want to rear your children in such an atmosphere of ill will and suspicion? Would that we all, white and black, might learn the lesson to Joseph's brothers and 'fall not out by the way.' Which is better, that we should, perpetually quarrel over temporary advantages to this or that brother, or that we should labor unitedly for a greater city with more numerous advantages for us all?"

Thursday afternoon Mr. Buchanan returned to the fishery from Norfolk with his wife and three children. It was raining when he arrived and he left his family at James Station, on the Norfolk and Southern line, nearby and went to the buildings in search of an umbrella. Mr. Buchanan says he then noticed smoke coming from Lovett's shack but paid no attention to it. A few minutes later the shack was in flames. Mr. Buchanan rushed into it, and found the man lying on a burning mattress in the center of the floor and removed him. Mr. Buchanan reasoned that the aged man had become slightly injured or overcome from an exploding Aloe, and turned his attention to saving the other buildings, when were then menaced by the flames. His wife drew water from a nearby well, and the Mr. Buchanan poured it on the shack nearest the flames. Their 16-year old son went to the Masonic Temple, quite some distance away, to summon aid.
When Dr. Woodhouse arrived he discovered that the man had been severely mauled and gashed. He was rushed to Norfolk and carried to the Protestant Hospital, where he diced. Detectives Nowitzky and Williams from Norfolk rushed to the scene and after a brief investigation returned to the city and placed Hill under arrest. Hill denied that he had been to the fishery since Tuesday, when the police received his pay. Mr. Lovitt is said to have more than $100 in his pockets which was cut out by his assailant.
He was a highly respected citizen of about 70 years of age. He had spent practically his life time in the employ of the Buchanans, having fished for the father years before the sons reached maturity.

GUIDE IS GIVING AWAY VALUABLE SAFETY RAZORS
With this issue, the Journal and Guide announces one of the best value-giving offers to the public ever made by any newspaper, and one that is certain to appeal to thousands of people everywhere. On page 3, of this paper, is an advertisement in which there appear two coupons, one to be used by local readers, and the other to be used by persons living out-of-town. The public of Norfolk and Portsmouth simply needs to clip the coupon at the top of the advertisement, present them to any newspaperer in the two cities with 25 cents and receive blades, and absolutely free a handsome Christy safety razor, price of which is $1.00. Out-of-town readers of the Journal and Guide may secure one of these Christy safety razors free by sending a year's subscription, new or renewal. The coupon at the bottom of the advertisement is for their use.
This is a genuine value-giving offer. Christy safety razors are manufactured by one of the oldest cutlery houses in the United States. The blades are of the finest tempered steel; the razor affords the smoothest shave. It is especially used by women for superfluous hairs, and for hairs on neck after bobbing. The retail price of the razor is $8.99 for 35 cents. A year's subscription to the Journal and Guide, admittedly the best Nespresso paper published, is $2.00. You get the Guide for a year, the safety razor and the set of blades all for $2.00. Local readers clip three coupons of same date and present to newsdesigner with 35 cents and get both the razor and the blades.

HOW TO GET RID OF A HUSBAND
Camden, N. J., Nov. 19—Do you want to get rid of your husband? Records of separation and non-support cases at the Bureau of Charities in this city revealed a number of efficient methods.
Nag.
Live with your mother-in-law
Cook badly—
Set the alarm clock for a HGB-25
different hour every morning
Leave your hairpins lying all around the bedroom
an around the season Make him get his own break-
Forget to wake him in the morning—
If that doesn't do the trick,
give him up. He's hopeless.
Records showed that the biggest factors in most of the separation cases were a rugging, mother-in-law, drunkenness, incompetibility and interfering neighbors.
A contributing cause which has nisused within the last few years is that that many women are financially independent. In other days a woman had no alternative but to submit to her husband's ill treatment or go back to her parents. Today a great many of them work and are not dependent on their "better halves" for support.

AYS TRIBES OF SOUTH AFRICA WANT GOSPEL Country Rallies to Appeal for $50,000.00 Defense Fund UNCLE SAM TELLS HOW TO PREPARE YOUR TURKEY
SURDAY NOVEMBER 21, 1925
bishop W. T. Vernon Declares Here A Great Opportunity For Missionary Effort Is Found.
Great opportunity for missionary effort is to be found among the des of South Africa who "hunger the gospel," according to Bish-W. T. Vernon, presiding bishop Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Michigan, Indiana, and the Illinois differences of the African Methodo Episcopal Church. Bishop Vernon served his church from 22 to 1924 as bishop in South Africa, and was impressed with the eat productivity of the country, which "has a delightful climate and capable of supporting millions people." Its mineral wealth auges he said, would be sufficient to make it a leader among economic industrial lines.
Nearly Two Million People
"Almost simultaneously with the
ming of Columbus to America
went to South Africa and dis-
shered this land of promise," said
Vernon in an interview
Thereafter people went from Europe
and found there asylum from
the burdens that afflicted them.
These people—Dutch, English and
some French Hugenots—grew up
known as the European population,
which really means white population.
They number now possibly
and a half millions, and people
mixed bloods and the East Indians who were indentured to work
farms of South Africa years
to make another 600,000.
"But the field that furnishes the best wonderful opportunity for missionary enterprise and Y. M. A. work, is among the tribal apple—the Basuto, Zulu, Amazona the rest. A few thousands of our have had contact with civilization and, as a result, are up to a average standard of some civilized groups, but millions of others in object heathenism." It is to these latter particularly, heading to Dr. Vernon, that a Christian enterprise must be divided. Great cities, such as Capetown, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Burin, have a very definite utilization, quite as progressive as that of various European states. But, unfortunately, up to the recent time they have not furnished sufficient opportunity for education of native groups, and "Christianity and education are needed to transform any of these groups from a liability into our definite asset."
Max Yergan
Kipiun Vernon mentioned the threat of Max Yergan (sent to Africa by the colored Y. Ma of the United States) who organized the natives into Y. Ma Leaders, to be made "uplifting sets for the native people of South Africa." This type of civilian activity, he believes, if used on will establish thoroughly South Africa a movement for clearness and human uplift will fructify into a generous rest.

This statement has since been presented before other important meetings of women and has in any case been adopted without a ruling vote.

Protests of the movement say that mobilization of the women of other Southern States along their lines has been followed in any case by marked decrease in number of lynchings.

Wide Range Of Territory Covered By Gifts For N. A. A. C. P. Fight For Human Rights.
New York.—There has been a country-wide response to the appeal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for a $50,000 Legal Defense Fund. Two branches of the N. A. A. C. P. have given $1,000 each. Those branches are Cleveland and Philadelphia, the latter's president, Isadore Martin bringing a thousand dollar check in person to the National Office. In addition, Julian St. George White, Secretary of the Philadelphia Branch, addressed the Citizens' Republican Club of Philadelphia, as a result of which that body has appropriated and sent in, through the Philadelphia N. A. A. C. P. $500.
Among the first individuals to respond to the appeal for funds was Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, of Missouri, sponsor of the Anti-Lynching Bill, whose check or $50 was accompanied by a note reading: "To help in the fight for justice."
The Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has sent in an additional check for $200.65 bringing its total contribution to date up to $880.15 and the Chicago Branch through its secretary, Morris Lewis, telegraphs:
"Defense Fund now cash $500, goal $5,000 for Chicago. Big mass movement 22nd of November."
George W. Cross, president of the Denver Branch writes that Denver is sending $200 and V. D. Turner telegraphs that the Saint Paul Branch is sending $375. New Haven has sent $50; Toledo, $446.57 Portland, Ore., $71.90; Princeton, $50; Richmond, Ind., $50; and Connellville, Pa., $25.
Among the other contributions to the Fund are: St. Peter African Methodist Episcopal Church, Minneapolis, $128; Walte, Frank, of New York, $50; John E. Mail and Mrs. Susan Payton Worthan, of New York, each $25; James E. Shepard, Durham, N. C., $25; and a group of persons through Mrs Hestie B. Jarrett, of Denver $27.60. In addition many small contributions ranging from one dollar upward are being mailed from all parts of the country.

Department of Agriculture Says Get 'Em Plump And Roast 'Em Moist For Deliciousness.
When you select your turkey for Thanksgiving, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture, one of the chief considerations is the amount and quality of the flesh on the body, especially on the breast, back and hips. Plenty of flesh means plenty of meat if or curving, and there should be also a generous amount of fat to insure a moist, tender turkey. The French always expose a turkey in the market with the back up, so the housewife can better observe how plump the bird is.

Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America
Statement of History of the Organization, Its Purpose and Work Accomplished
The Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of America is composed entirely of Negro employees of The Pullman Company. It now has over eight thousand members throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Membership is entirely optional with employees. All are invited to join but there is no obligation to do so. Local lodges are maintained in the principal cities to promote the welfare, social activities and fraternal spirit of the members. The association is governed by the Grand Association, which meets annually in November at Chicago, composed of delegates from each of the local lodges.
The association was organized, has grown to its present proportions and is controlled entirely by its own members. What were known as zone associations were organized in 1915 by committees in the various zones of employment. A small death benefit was provided which was found to be helpful to the families of deceased members. The first convention of the seven zone associations was held in Chicago in November of that year. In that first convention the members evinced a desire for a more closely organized association in one body to cover the whole service and to provide for sick and accident as well as death benefits. A committee on reorganization was appointed by Chairman Barnett, consisting of T. R. Webb, Denver, Chairman; Waverly Williams, New York, and Arthur Wells, Chicago, to formulate plans and to report at the next session. At the 1910 convention the report was considered but was again referred back to the committee for amendments. In 1917 the committee's report was adopted by the convention, but was rejected by the porters in a referendum vote.
In 1919 another committee on re-organization was appointed composed of the same membership as the committee appointed in 1915 with the addition of W. H. Deaverney, New York, and Perry Parker, Cincinnati. This committee, after conferences continuing over several months, submitted to the convention of 1920 the present plan as en-

statement of Organization and Work
The Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of America is composed entirely of Negro Employees of The Pullman Company. It now has over eight thousand members through it the United States, Canada and Mexico. Membership is entirely optional with employees. All are invited to join but there is no obligation to do so. Local lodges are maintained in the principal cities to promote the welfare, social activities and fraternity spirit of the members. The association is governed by the Grand Association, which meets annually in November at Chicago, co-ordinated of delegates from each of the lodges.
History of the Association
The association was organized, has grown, and its present proportions and is controlled strictly by its own members. What was known as zone associations were organized in 1915 by committees in the various zones of employment. A small death benefit was provided which was found to be helpful to the families of deceased members. The first convention of the seven zone associations was held in Chicago in November of that year that first convention the members evinced desire for a more closely organized association in one body to cover the whole service to provide for sick and accident as well as death benefits. A committee on reorganization was appointed by Chairman Barnes, consisting of T. R. Webb, Denver, Chamun; Waverly Williams, New York, and A. Pur Wells, Chicago, to formulate plans and report at the next session. At the 1917 convention the report was considered but was again referred back to the committee for amendments. In 1917 the committee report was adopted by the convention, but rejected by the porters in a referendum.
In 1919 another committee on re-organization was appointed composed of the same membership as the committee appointed in 1915 with the addition of W. H. Deaverne, New York, and Perry Parker, Cincinnati. This committee, after conferences continued over several months, submitted to the convention of 1920 the present plan as ex-

bodied in the constitution and by-laws of the association which were formally adopted by delegates of the several zones in November 1920, and became operative February 1, 1921.
The general supervision or direction of the association is vested in a Board of Directors elected by the Grand Association, the latter being composed of delegates from the local lodges. The members of the present board are—Perry Parker. Cincinnati; T. M. Blanton. Philadelphia; J. M. Sexton, New Orleans; R. L. Williams, San Francisco; I. F. Smith, Chicago; S. J. Freeman, New York, and T. A. Crenshaw, St. Louis. Perry Parker is Grand Chairman of the Association; O. E. Robinson, Grand Secretary; J. W. Duncan, Treasurer, and T. R. Webb, Comptroller: All financial matters are in charge of the comptroller. All money received is deposited in banks to the credit of the Association and can be disbursed only by voucher issued by the secretary and checks drawn by the treasurer and countersigned by the comptroller. All officers are paid by the Association from Association funds, and are responsible only to the Board of Directors and to the Grand Association. The Pullman Company has nothing whatever to do with the funds except to assist in their collection. It cooperates and assists the officers in their work, but has no voice in the disbursement of funds or the management of the Association.
During the last three years a new element has entered the Association through the opening of the repair shops to Negro employees. Several thousand of our people are here employed and many of them have become members of the Association.
Since the Association was organized in its present form in 1921,386 death benefits aggregating $330,133.11 have been paid to beneficiaries of deceased members; 7,733 sick and accident benefits aggregating $194,341.77 have been paid to members, making total disbursements for benefits amounting to $524,474.88. The assistance thus rendered to needy dependents and to members and their families in times of distress is incalculable. The Association is doing active, earnest work for all of its members, and is receiving the hearty cooperation and support of every one.

Prospective Buyers of Western Farm Lands Warned to Investigate
Negroes Have Been Sold Worthless Tracts In Certain Areas Of Michigan; Labor Bureau Takes A Hand. (Special Correspondence) Lansing, Mich.-Climaxing efforts for the past two years, of the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics of the Michigan Department of Labor and Industry, Mr. Charles A. Campbell, director of the Division has been instrumental in forcing the withdrawal of the George W. Swigart Land Company of Chicago, from the Michigan real estate field. This action came as a result of a hearing before the Michigan Securities Commission on November 5, when evidence was presented in several cases showing this company to have indulged in sharp practices in the sale of cut lower land in Northern Michigan.
Portions of Lake, Mason, Benton and Manistie counties have largely populated by colored people who have purchased the practically worthless land in those sections solely upon recommendation by the Swigart Company, paying price far out of proportion to the quality of the soil and its agricultural possibilities. Although the activities of several real estate firms handling farms in various sections of the State have been carefully watched by the State Agriculture Department and the Michigan Securities Commission, it has been impossible in the past to secure such evidence that would be substantial enough to warrant the departments in curbing these questionable practices.
Department Investigates
With the establishment of the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics in 1923, and the resultant contact with the Negroes in all sections of the State, theitable conditions of many families stranded on the arid farms excited the interest of this department, which immediately began intensive investigations, securing evidence for the State. In that year, the Division was instrumental in forcing two Chicago concerns out of the field when a careful study of their methods disclosed sharp dealings bordering on swindle. Largely through their efforts, the Swigart Company was induced to settle many cases directly with the aggrieved purchasers. In some cases, the entire purchase price was refunded and the buyer released from any contract; in others, a partial refund was made to the purchaser to induce some degree of satisfaction.
There being so many complaints registered with the Division or which no settlements were made it became evident that some steps should be taken by State officials to protect the people seeking Michigan farm lands. The Division therefore, carefully compiled all the evidence furnished by the many dissatisfied customers of the company and presented it to the Securities Commission, with the result that the officials of the Swigart Company were called in for hearing. They were confronted by two former customers, Mr. Harry Noan of Muskegon, Michigan, formerly of Atchison, Kansas, and Mr. Cyril Sharp of Cleveland, O. who testified against the Company. The affidavits of several other who were prevented from being at the hearing, were also considered
Swigart Company Withdraws
Sensing the probable effect of the damaging evidence presented to the Commission, the attorney for the Swigart Company agrees to the withdrawal of his firm from Michigan, with the following statement:
"In this proceeding, counsel for license has announced that the Swigart Land Company does not intend to make application for a license for the year 1926 as a broker and we now make the statement that no application will be made for a license regardless of the decision in this proceeding. Therefore counsel for license says that no application will be made for renewal of the license at the expiration of its present term and that the license may surrender their license at any time between now and the 1st of January, 1926."
Although the companies who have been denied licenses to operate in Michigan, represent the most flagrant violators in these cases, the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics continues to sound the warning to prospective purchasers throughout the country to buy no land without having carefully inspected the soil and investigated the agricultural possibilities of the region under consideration. All persons considering Michigan farm lands are earnestly requested to communicate with the department before taking any definite action. Michigan has thousands of acres of idle farm lands equal to any in the country, but its unlimited acreage of cut-over and sterile land presents a great danger to the uninitiated buyer.

THE REASON WHY
At times you are more susceptible to coughs and colds than at other times. Medical science explains that the reason for this susceptibility is, the body is usually undernourished and its resistive powers weak.

SLATER BOARD LENDS AID TO 233 SCHOOLS
Fund Has Proved Great Stimulus To Education In The South In The Past 12 Years
A steady and healthy growth in County Training Schools fostered through the support of the John F. Slater Fund, of which Dr. James Hardy Dillard is the chairman, is shown during the 13 years.
It was with the beginning of the 1911-12 school session when four county superintendents requested the Slater Fund to aid in establishment in county training schools in these counties. Since that time, a period of 13 years, the Fund has aided in the establishment of 229 other such schools, making a total of 233 training schools coming into existence through the aid of this fund.
The proposition of the Slater Board has been to appropriate $500 for salaries of teachers on condition that the school property shall belong to the state, county or district and shall be a part of the public school system; there shall be an appropriation for salaries of not less than a $1000 from public funds raised by State, county or district taxation; the teaching shall extend through the eighth year, with the intention of adding at least two years as soon as it shall be possible to make such extension.
In the 233 county training schools there are registered 7555 high school pupils and 1503 teachers. The public tax fund for their maintenance totals $1,002,317. In 1924 the Slater Board contributed toward the salaries of the teachers, $69,300. These figures clearly indicate the great stimulus the John F. Slater Fund has been to the increase of education facilities in the South in the post 12 years.

POINTS YOUTH OF
RACE TO HEIGHTS
IN ABLE SERMON
Rev. M. C. Allen, Pastor of First Baptist Church, Tells Colored Youth of Race's Exemplary Accomplishments.
Franklin, Va.—Preaching from the words, "He said unto them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me," Rev. M. C. Allen, pastor of the First Baptist Church, delivered striking sermon, Sunday, Dr. Alen said:
"This message is attractive because it is of amazing audacity and discovery. It is plunged into the heart of a common brotherhood for the best jewel and magnet of peace and good will among the people of the earth.
"We may have peace, and not have good will among men. Peace as such is war arrested, but good will is war waged. When Jesus said, If any man will come after Me, he expressed an independent interest; i.e., no attitude of man affected His interest. We have in this expression a wonderful confidence in the power of right to win. It affirms that right is might, and the right will win without assistance of any other allies. When the reality of a principle reaches the judgment of a man, if in him there is esteem for it, he will not act. If any man will come after me, that is, if any one wants the benefit and association of what is going on before, he must have an exercise the ability of choice to be worthy.
This declaration does not mean that all is going on before, nor does it mean that all is coming on behind; it takes something to follow something, and when the leading something, and following something keep together, something will be accomplished. A leader is not a driver, persuader nor the whole thing, he is the pilot and the seer; the day of the 'Big stick' leader in Church and State has been blessed with a setting sun. In this day, respect and response to the exhibition of ability and ing, plan and system of one's ability to adjust himself to conditions dealt with men as men and not as children. He who goes to leaves leaves something. 'Dey himself,' for good, evil must be left, for property, money and power. one must leave extravagance and indifference for industry. For knowledge, one must leave the dress-purse and frivolity dens, and go to the college and apply oneself to systematic thinking and

For better racial conditions between the whites and the blacks, both races must leave hats, insuits, insinuations and sister propaganda out of our current literature and use the fire extinguishers of common sense on our fire-catging speeches and semiotectes. I call upon the youth to leave the remains of apparent dead opportunities and hope Snatch from your face the veil of bread, despair, and discourage, fostered, what is printed in what you real in literature and what you see in art about you.
"For the end is not yet, nor has right sheathed his sword. Do not insult, insinuations, prescription, and disrespect, embitter your do not let barred doors of politics thrift, education and professional opportunities do any thing for you but tap the high pressure of superior manhood, resting deep in the sub-consciousness of the Negro race.
You think I ascribe to the Negro superiority, for which I have no emblem."

Washington and Major Moton, who have given to the world Prof. George Carver, whose scientific skill and discovery has made the old common sweet-potato and the peanut a milk cow for the nation; to protect it against the days that are not far distant when the extinct G.

"The Norfolk Journal and Guide, with its clean pages, sane and courageous editorials, and because of its merit it has been placed at the head of the journal. It is the leading white journals of the world, the Literary Digest and the Boston Globe and this is another race that can submerge bitterness and in spite of hell, exhibit the highest known virtues.
"I could refresh your memories in Dunbar, the poet; Roland Hayes, one of the world's sweetest singers and a most famous artist; Rene Maran of France, the novelist, who has won one of the world's greatest literary prizes and on, I might go indefinitely with this catalog of illustrations. But, I desire hear me. God is no need and are not the treasures exhausted all of her power disbanded or burdened, all of which are impartial to color, they unbosomed first to approach. I irrespective of color, if you are a Christian, grip contrage in your hearts, stamp bitterness out of your hearts and pray as Jesus for those who despitefully use you. 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do' and 'Take up your cross daily and follow me.'"

Elks Will Stage Greatest Festivity Here at Armory Hall Night of Nov. 30th
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925
Members From All Over State
And Thruout Eastern North
Carolina Invited To Join In
Mammoth Celebration.
Elks throughout the State of
Virginia, Maryland and Eastern N.
C, are invited to this city on Mon-
day night, November 30, to join
with the Eureka Lodge No. 5, in
what is planned to be the greatest
social and good fellowship festiv-
ity ever staged by the Elks of Vir-
ginia. The affair has been design-
ated as a great "Hello Bill" night,
which will come as the celebration
of the close of one of the most
remarkable and aggressive mem-
hip campaigns ever staged by any
organization in this city.
A retinue of Grand Lodge Officers has given the local Elks assurances of their presence here on that night to aid in fraternizing the newly made members, and joining in the renowned fellowship of Elkdon. The officers who have promised to come are Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson; Grand Secretary George E. Bates; Grand Treasurer James E. Carter; and Grand Organizer Carlos C. Holle.
Large Hall Secured
Anticipating the largest gathering of Elks seen in this city since the Grand Lodge meeting in 1924, Eureka Lodge has secured the Armory 11.41, the largest auditorium in the city, in which to stage the affair. The entire Excelsior Band, famed as the best musical organization of its kind in the South, will render a concert from 8 to 10 o'clock. Dancing will be the feature until all agree "it's time to have just one more and all go home." The Eureka Lodge membership campaign, has been in progress for the past eight weeks, and approaches its close with indications of an overwhelming success. Thursday night, November 26, will mark the close of the drive, which it is admitted, has been one of the most remarkable and aggressive ever staged in Norfolk to augment the membership in any sort of organization.
Sustained Enthusiasm
The various company captains and their aides launched into the campaign with enthusiasm which has been sustained throughout the eight weeks of tense campaigning. At the end of the drive draws near, renewed vigor is evidenced on the part of the campaigners, which is resulting in an influx of applications according to late reports from campaign headquarters at the The House.
The managers are advising the public that applications for entrance into the lodge at club rates each day prevail, cannot be received after November 26, therefore any person contemplating the Elks is urged to make application to Eureka Lodge at once. To date practically 700 applications have been received, and initiatives have been in progress weekly for several weeks. Newly made members swarming the Elks Home and partaking of their initial Elk Fellowship with smiles of satisfaction and of newly found delight.

Wednesday evening Mr. Chisum
entertained the conference at din-
ner at the New Liberty Hotel. At
its conclusion the several committees
made their reports.
Visits The White House
The members of the conference visited the White House at noon on Thursday and were received by the President. John R. Hawkins acted as spokesman for them.
In responding to the statement of Mr. Hawkins, President Coolidge told the delegation that there are wrongs being imposed upon the Negro, which ought to be and will be remedied. He stated that he was not unintimidated of the loyalty of the Negro. He paid tribute to the progress of the race and stated that if the members of the delegation could stand in his place and view themselves as he saw them, they would have some conception of the enormous progress and advancement the race has made.
Hawkins Tens' Resolution
In his statement in half of the
conferences, Mr. Hawkins advised the
President that the Negro feels that
he has established his right to
participation in all the duties imposed
upon citizens and in turn to the
full enjoyment of all the rights,
duties and privileges accorded any
other class of citizens.
After pointing to segregation and
discrimination by the Federal Gov-
ernment and public carriages, he
Asks Remedy
"These conditions, we believe Mr. President, can be and should be remedied by you; and we make hold to assert that if you, in keeping with your high fields, as expressed in your many able and profound documents issued and pronounced from time to time, will rise to the height of the occasion and is we an executive order abolishing discrimination and segregation in the departments of our Federal government, it will be hailed as the strongest and most potential act of any President since that of the immortal Lincoln which wiped out slavery, and we appeal to you to thus act and immortalize your name."
After a short session Thursday afternoon, the conference adjourned.
Those Attending
Among those who attended the conference were Bishop A. J Carey, Claude A. Barnett, Melvin J Chism, Joseph D. Dibb and B. U. Taylor, Chicago; A. L. Holsey, Tuskegee Institute, Rienzi B.

more than five years. Six defendants, Fred Fore, John Evans, Oss Hutgins, Nat Whittmore, A11 Sans and Diamond Ward were sentenced to 19 months on the road each. Others sentenced were: Elmer Lucker, 19 months; Cal Swink, nine months; Frank Gasperson, six months; Bud Wilson, six months; with a suspended sentence of two years in addition; Eugene Wilson, 12 months, with privilege of being hired out after two months by the commissioners and paym-ut of a fine of $60.00. Five other defendants received suspended sentences with payment of costs. Nine others were found not guilty by the jury.
Verdict Expected
The firm manner in which Judge Stack had conducted the trial; the relentless prosecution by the Solicitor had led to the belief that there would be convictions. The spectators were not surprised at the verdict, but they were not only surprised, but virtually astounded when the Court began to droll out penitentiary sentences. Women in tears, began to plead audibly that mercy be shown their relatives. The Court's answer to these pleas was that he had been as lenient as was possible in keeping with the gravity of their acts and in fairness to the State.
The culmination of this trial shows back into history a series of the most stirring, tense and dramatic incidents in connection with any case that has hitherto rung through the corridors of Old North State courtrooms. In fact, the trial, and other incidents associated with it, ended just exactly opposite as to how local public sentiment had demanded that they end, and it is agreed, placed North Carolina as the foremost State in the South in dealing out even-handed justice. Already national opinion is beginning to view the outcome of this case as the most effective blow that has been struck at mob violence in fifty years. There are those who are commenting that if every State in the Union would follow the example of North Carolina in dealing with mobs, there would be no further need for further agitation for a federal anti-lynching measure.
History Of Case
The State wo, this case through a maze of adversary, local public opinion, engendered by a series of alleged attacks by coloured men on white women in recent months. On the night of September 19, a mob broke into the jail here, ran thru the corridors and peered into every cell in search of a Negro who had been lodged there several hours earlier on a charge of criminal assault. The prisoner was not found. The authorities had wisely spotted him to Charlotto for safekeeping.
Following quickly on the heels of this incident, another Negro was charged with a simile crime. Public feigning against the entire Negro population of the town Jacob a decade. A correspondent for one of the daily papers summoned up this feigning in the statement that "leading and conservative citizens" of Asheville felt that a "good lynching" was needed to teach the local Negro population its lesson. This correspondent also added, anything might happen in the town at any time. He insisted that a race outfit would become inevitable in event either of the accused Negro was set free, or any members of the mob convicted. With a cord of soldiers who had been sent to the city to preserve order, swung around the courtroom, one of the accused Negroes was acquitted by the jury. Previously one of them had been sentenced to die in the chair. There were those here who felt that inasmuch as one of the alleged assaultants had been freed, the next in order would be an acquittal of those storming the jail, a sort of evening up process. When the trial of the jail stormers got under way, this feeling was soon dissipated.

MASS MEETING HERE FOR ORPHAN HOME NOV.29TH
Churches, Fraternal Societies, Social Clubs And Other Expected To Donate To Weaver Home of Hampton.
A mammoth mass meeting for the benefit of what is regarded as a very deserving cause will be held at St. John's A. M. E. Church, on Sunday afternoon, November 29, at 3 o'clock. This meeting will be held in the interest of the Weaver Orphan Home, of Hampton.
For the occasion an attractive program has been prepared, and the children of the Home will appear.
Campaign To Raise $5,000
At present Weaver Orphan Home is engaged in an intensive campaign to raise $5,000 to clear that institution of a long-standing and embarrassing indebtedness. In recent months, owing to the number of orphans that have applied to the Home for admission and had to be rejected on account of inadequate facilities, it has become imperative that the Home's financial obligations be settled in order that a program of expansion might be embarked upon.
Established 21 Years Ago Weaver Orphan Home was established 21 years ago by the Rev. and Mrs. W. B. Weaver, who, during the intervening years have endured great personal sacrifices to develop the institution and to care for the orphan walfs entrusted to their care. The Home now has 25 orphans, and during, last year rejected 70 that applied for admission. The largest number of the children in the home from any one city are from Norfolk; no longer ago than last week an unmarried gust of three little Norfolk children whose mother and father both dead, sought to place the children in the Home, but as much as Rev. and Mrs. Weaver desired to take them in, such was impossible on account of lack of accommodations. There are at present 11 Norfolk orphans waiting for admission to Weaver Orphan Home, and the manager can offer no assurance as to when they will be able to admit them.
A few Sundays ago, mass meetings were held in Newport News and Hampton in interest of the home, at which time approximately $1,7000 was raised.
At the First Baptist Church of the former city, fraternal organizations, churches, church auxiliaries, social clubs, laboring men's organizations, welfare societies, donated more than $500 and at the First Baptist Church of Hampton, on the same night, similar organizations donated more than $400. The Grand Lodge of Illinois contributed $250,00 and the Southern Aid Society of Virginia sent its check for $25,00.
Groups Urged to Donate
Mrs. Maude Weaver Winston,
who is well known in Norfolk, and
who is now the Field Agent for the
Home urge that every fraternal
organization, social club, church,
church auxiliary and all other
groups of Norfolk collect their
donations, without waiting for her
to appear at their meetings to make a
personal appeal, inasmuch as the
large number of groups in this city
makes that impossible, and to send
each donations to the November
29th meeting by an accredited
representative. She says she is counting
on Norfolk to excel both
Hampton and Newport News, in
much as this is the first sys-
tomatic appeal ever made in this
city for the benefit of the Home,
even though Norfolk children are
domains of the institution in the
largest numbers.
Set Up Charity Boxes
March 1st of the race are asked to obtain charity boxes in their rooms for the benefit of the Home. During those chants who have Winston, is Stewart's Grocery Store at the corner of Church and Henry streets and Blizzard's store at the corner of B Avenue and Humor street.
Mrs. Alverta Gilpin, talented singer of Richmond will entertain at the meeting at St. John's Church
and J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks is expected to have a part on the program.
FRIEDEN'S OPENS TOYLAND
Freiden's, the well-known toyland, has opened the store next door to his establishment at 563-565 Church street, with a full line of American and imported toys and wheel goods for holiday trade.
PAYS $900.00 TO
CHARM DIABETES
Hiding $900.00 cash in a secreted spot and waiting for it to charm away his diabetes, cost Lee Smith, a barber of Winston-Salem, N. C., just that amount one day recently, according to a report he is said to have made to the police of that city. Smith, a sufferer from diabetes, was told by a strange Syrian woman to wrap that much money up and hide it in a certain spot and in due season it would charm away his affliction. He did as was directed, it is reported. Becoming suspicious after hiding the money, Smith quickly went back for it, but the Syrian woman or someone else had charmed away his $900. No trace of the woman nor money has since been discovered. Smith still has his diabetes, it is said.
WITTY LABORER OUTWITS TAXES
A witty colored laborer of Cattet county, N. C., is said to have discovered a novel method of outwitting the town tax collector, who had garnished the laborer's wages for delinquent taxes. The laborer, it is said, was years in the arrests in his taxes.
One pay day when he drew his work's wages, he discovered he had had been docked. Upon inquiry, his employer informed him that he would dock in a similar manner for several weeks to satisfy a garnishment obtained by the tax collector. The laborer went away somewhat ruzzled, but returned to work the following Monday morning with a bright solution for his difficulties. He informed his boss that in future he would work only on a per diem basis, paid in advance, and wanted the pay for the day he was about to begin right then, even before "hitting a lick." He was a good workman and his services were valued. The boss decided to comply with the laborer's demands in order to keep him. He was paid then, 7 oclock in the morning. The tax collector is the one now in a quandary.

NEEDLE WORK CHARITY EXHIBIT NOVEMBER 26TH
The Colored section of the Norfolk Branch of the Needle Work Guild, is planning to hold its annual exhibit on Thursday evening November 28 at 8 p.m., in Bethany Presbyterian Church. In commenting on this organization, Mrs. Charles R. Grandy, one of Norfolk's best known white women, both among her race and the local colored people, and president of the Norfolk Branch of the Needle Work Guild, said:
"The Colored Section of the Norfolk Branch of the Needle Work Guild does a splendid work; for it supplies household linen and clothes to twelve charities. It needs and merits a larger membership, which consists in the donation of two new garments or articles of household linen or money once a year. There are no meetings, and every article collected is given to local causes. The officers of this section are: Mrs. Ida Bagnall, section president; Mrs. Essie Taylor, assistant; Miss Emily Little, secretary-treasurer.

GARRET'S C.M.E TEMPLE SOLD BY ITS CREDITORS
Congregation Moves To Old Hebrew Synagogue On Cumberland Street, Opposite Academy Lot.
Financial difficulties which the comparatively small membership was unable to weather, brought about a change of hands of Garrett's C. M. E. (lately A. M. E. Z.) Temple a couple of weeks ago. The edifice was sold upon the pressure of creditors for a liquidation of its bonded indebtedness, according to reliable reports to the Journal and Guide
The congregation, led by its pastor, Rev. R. K. D. Garrett, has acquired the abandoned He brew Synagogue on Cumberland street, opposite the Academy lot, for its place of future worship. This building, with minor renovations which have been completed, is admirably fitted for the needs of his congregation, asserts Dr. Garrett, who adds, that its acquisition lifts the financial burden from his membership by approximately $23,000. The congregation already has worshipped in their new church home for two consecutive Sundays.
Cost $55,000
Garrett's Temple is an imposing church structure standing at the corner of Lincoln and Smith streets. It was completed in 1922 at a total cost of $55,000, which represents both land and buildings. Its founder and builder, Dr. Garrett, has pastored it through its entire existence. The membership is some where around 300 persons. The church is an offshoot of St. Paul C. M. E., a split having been suffered by that church a few years ago when it was St. Luke C. M. E. The outcome of this split was the founding of Garrett's Temple Promising
Apparent.
During the high wate period in the few years closely following the close of the World War, the congregation, although small, was prosperous and apparently had a promising future. But the era of depression which soon was to follow had its depressing effect on business as well as churches, and Garrett's Temple from that time on began to encounter severe financial difficulties. The small, but valiant congregation, whose numbers like those of other churches, were diminishing on account of migration, struggled to hold onto the building. Just a few weeks ago the congregation changed denominational affiliations and became A. M. E. Zion. Recently the pastor and members concluded that the odds were too great for such numbers as theirs, and decided that the inevitable liquidation, would bring welcomed surcease.
MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH
(Douglass Park)
All services were well attended throughout the day especially Sunday school. And at 3 o'clock, Rev, Whitfield, of St. Peter's Disciple Church, preached. He was accompanied by his congregation. At 11 o'clock, Rev, Jarvis delivered an excellent sermon. The pastor left Tuesday morning for the annual conference.
(Douglas Park)
The Sunday school was largely attended and teachers and scholars showed a deep interest in the lesson. The collection of the young men and young ladies class was a tie. The young ladies were awarded the banner, because of their small number. At 11:30 the pastor delivered a stirring sermon. At 3:00 o'clock which was communion service the pastor again occupied the stand, using as a subject, "The Darkest Day the World Ever Knew." At night attendance was small owing to the weather. Anniversary services will continue throughout the week.
SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST
Last Sunday at Second Calvary
Baptist Church the pastor spoke
both morning and evening, and
communion was in the afternoon.
The crowd in the morning was
large, and as the pastor spoke from
the subject, "Spiritual Drought."
text Jer. 14:4, the large crowd was
lifted by the Spirit, and went from
the church with their minds made
up to do their best that the spiritual
drought may be broken. The
rain in the afternoon kept a good
many from communion as well
from the evening service. The
membership of Second Calvary is
becoming more interested in the
word of God, and is using its
influence to get all who are not
already members to join the church,
and enjoy the services.
ST. THOMAS A. M. E. ZION
The Sunday school was largely attended and the feeling of friendship and unity evidenced throughout the meeting. The lesson was reviewed by Dr. W. J. Hines. There were also splendid remarks by Mr. Melvin Smith along the lines of Sunday school work. Rev. W. J. Hines was inspired by the large crowd present at the morning service and delivered a very fine message. At 3:00 o'clock the funeral of Willie Lauton was held with Rev. A. Olds officiating.

SAYS THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY CHURCHES HERE
Monumental Pastor Says Number Would Not Seat One Half Of The People In Norfolk.
Delivering a sermon at Monumental A. M. E. Church Sunday night, from the text, "No Balm In Gilead," and the subject, "A Disease: A Physician." Avv. A. C. Clark, the pastor, declared that there are not too many churches in Norfolk, which assertion takes issue with intimations made in a sermon recently preached in one of the local churches in which over church building and indebtedness was deprived.
Rev. Clark declared that evangelism is the foremost work of the church and added: 'All her other activities are of value only to the extent that they aid in making Christians truly Christlike and bringing non-Christians to faith in
Christ and a sineer confession of Him as Savious and Lord
"The church is profoundly concerned in behalf of whatever promises to make the world a better neighborhood, and its people better neighbors. I have no sympathy with those who are unwilling or unable to look beyond their own realm and to content themselves with an equally vague and unmeaning assertion of their religion. I reserve my approval for those who while thoroughly Christian, yet do not propose to live unto themselves alone, who are neither oblivious to duty nor charity, but who cherish as individuals and accents of the Golden Rule of action among all people.
"If one half of the people in Norfolk should desire to go to church on Sunday there would not be room in the churches to accommodate them. If there are too many churches to accommodate one half of the people in Norfolk, is it possible that the church can hope to convert the world? Or is the program of evangelism a vague and hopeless bluff put forth by the church?"
"Build more churches in order that Christianity can truly say: 'Come all the world, come sinners all things in Christ are ready now More churches that will seek the spirit of the Master, 'who went about doing good.' Let the church

be in the heart of men and then we will only have time to preach Jesus and His magnanimity."
MONUMENTAL A. M. E.
CHURCH
The Sunday school hour was lively with discussions, and the lesson made interesting through applications.
At the morning service, Rev Clark preached the first of a series of sermons. His subject was "A Disease—A Physician." Beginning with man's creation after God's image, he outlined man's corruption by sin—from which man became imperfect, or diseased. Symptoms of this disease were depicted as: Man's falseness to all laws of Nature, man's falseness to God, and lastly, man's falseness to his fellowman. Pride, selfishness, impatience, ingratitude, jealousy, hypocrisy, revenge, malice and bigotry were all exposed as characteristics of the spiritually diseased man.
"These diseases are universal. They are hereditary. Man has failed to heal or cure one so affected. What, then, is the cure? Who is the physician? declared the pastor. To these questions Rev. Clark told of the balm of Gilad, administered by the Great Healer, Jesus. He makes the blind to see the lame to walk, and the diseased to become whole again. He, alone is our Saviour." At 2 p. m., the pastor and congregation worshiped at St. Mark's Church, and at night, a special sermon was delivered by the pastor. The remaining sermons of the series are to be preached at 11:30 each Sunday. Other subjects to be treated are: "A Remedy—A Cure—and A Reason."
BAR OF JUSTICE
The biblical drama, "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice," will be presented by a well trained cast at Monumental A. M. E. Church by the Daughters of Elk Temple No. 1, Wednesday night, December 2.
AT METROPOLITAN.
Home Coming Day will be celebrated at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday, November 22. Friends are invited and every member of the church is expected to attend the services. The pastor will preach at 11:30 and at 7:30. At 3 o'clock Rev. V. H. Manuel, of Chambésurg, Pu., who is the brother of Mr.J.W.Manuel, a member of this church, will preach a special sermon for the benefit of the aged and afflicted people of the city. Wherever possible, those attending are asked to bring some one with them, especially an aged or afflicted person.
Of Issues Discus
were the following:
The Political Situation
The Negro through loyalty has established claim to all rights and opportunities, and should be given support of any party whose creed is right and justice. The executive branch of the government is held responsible to the people for unfair discriminations against Negroes. Particularly evidence with reference to accommodation given Negroes by those operating public carriers, which, in fragrant violation of the law, make Negroes victims of vindictive prejudice.
Segregation and discrimination are rife in departments of the government. Appointments to the civil service have not been made where colored citizens have been certified and have reported for duty. In various departments there are rules and regulations enforced which segregate Negroes and subject them to inconveniences and indignities, because of their racial identity.
The President should issue an executive order abolishing segregation and discrimination in departments of the federal government. This would be regarded by Negroes as the strongest and most potential act of any president since Lincoln.

Attempt to eliminate the Negro from politics in any part of the country is regarded as a grave mistake, which has already caused readlessness and dissatisfaction everywhere. Building up a whitey party in the South brings condemnation everywhere. Leaders of the Republican party are called on to halt whitey organization because Negroes in pivotal states will resent such policy.
Industrial Relations
Industrial relations confronting Negro workmen in America are looked on with alarm. It is recommended that the government and all private industries employing Negro working men should give them a square deal and opportunity to that accorded all other men in all lines of industry.
The unfair attitude of many labor union organizations in America was deplored and the American Federation of Labor was urged to translate into action the resolution passed at its annual session. Communistic forces seeking to bore within were condemned. We urge our workers to seek an alliance with the large corporate interests whom they serve and rather than attempting to organize against the interest of those who control the wealth, transportation and capital
of the country, urge the formation and support of the employee representation plan now being pursued by the Pullman Company, the Pennsylvania Railroad and other large employers, we urge the settlement of labor disputes in conference by employees and employees and deplore the attempt to form radical organizations such as the American Negro Labor Congress and the proposed organization of the Pullman employees.
Residential Segregation
Residential segregation, exhibited in nineteen cities, is running rampant throughout the country. It is degradation of citizenship, ridicule of democracy, contempt for law, retardation of progress of the Negro race, deprivation of the public treasury of increased taxes, and stimulation of racial antipathy. The Negro Press The Negro press of this country is entitled to our full faith and reliance as the logical medium thru which to secure united action of the race.
Race Relationships
Work of inter-racial commissions is commended. Ignorance of the white race of indignities suffered by Negroes is regarded as due to indifference. The daily press fails to inform its white readers, and they do not read colored papers.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1923
n Washington
Cooperation of influential members of the white racial group to get over publicity favorable to the gro is recommended. It is believed essential that special diligence should be exercised by the color race to secure membership on civic commissions appointed in vicarious municipalities.
Law Enforcement
Observance of law is fundamental to peace and prosperity. The bootlegger is the legitimate child of the disfranchiser. The rights of no white man will be safe within the law until the rights of the humblest Negro are safeguarded and protected by law applied to all. Enthusiasm for enforcement of the 18th amendment cannot be secured until there is like enthusiasm for enforcement of the 19th and 14th and 15th amendments.
Economic Outlook
The basis of ascendency of any group is health, the ability to earn a dollar and to spend it wisely. It is recommended that the race pledge itself to moderate living, thrift, and creation of business enterprises. Adoption by the federal loan board of a more liberal extension of the rural credit system among Negro farmers is urged, as well as appointment of a colored man on the larm labor board.

The annual value of the output of clothing establishments in New York City, is $2,202,721,853. Suits and overcoats that used to cost $15 to $25 before the World War now cost $25 to $80. And the purchasing power of the dollar when wearing apparel is concerned is worth not half what it used to be. The average person cannot afford to buy real good clothing now.
A learned correspondent in Morocco has figured it out on investigation that the fighting Riffs are not Arabs at all but of Nordic origin, which he thinks explains the intelligent Riff resistance to the French and Spanish forces in Morocco. But in Virginia they would be Arab fast enough. Even Abraham, the Father of Christians, who was an Arab, would be kicked and cuffed and jim-crowed legally in Virginia and kicked out of the white church. he should seek to fellowship with.
White folks do some queer things. A young white woman up New York way was arrested for having married three men, all living. "Yes; I did it. I loved them all. What about it?" Nothing, of course. De-Wolfe Hopper, the famous actor, at 66, has taken his sixth wife, who is 29, and Rose Pastor Stokes, famous Communist and social worker, after twenty years of married life, gave her husband, one of the social highbrows of the land, the provocation the New York law requires in order that he could get the divorce she desired.
Thanksgiving
President Coolidge has set aside the 26th day of November which the people of the United States are to regard as "a day of general Thanksgiving," recommending that "the people shall cease from their work, and, in their homes or in their accustomed places of worship, devoutly give thanks to Almighty God for the many and great blessings they have received, and to seek His guidance that they may deserve a continuance of His favor." The President thinks that, "as we have grown and prospered in material things, so also should we progress in moral and spiritual things." Again: "We should bow in gratitude to God for his many favors."
Yes; the Nation has plenty to be thankful for and for which to give thanks. It is blessed in the general distress of the world, as the result of the unnecessary World War and its destruction of human and material values, as no other people are blessed, but it is doubtful if the average person ever gives a thought to that phase of the matter; and a large part of the people of the country are going about creating and propagating issues that make for strife and acting for all the world as if there were no God in the United States and as if they were a law unto themselves. Perhaps they are. Who knows? Certainly there is a great swing away from the high moral purposes of the Pilgrim Fathers and those who built the Nation upon broad Christian principles of toleration and brotherly love and helpfulness. Yes; we have plenty to be thankful for, but a large part of the citizenship does not act as if it thought any such thing, preaching and living the old lies which have destroyed all of the Nations that have gone before us and which are eating at the vitals of all of the Nations of the Christian Faith.
The greed for material things is sapping the honesty and tolerance of the Nation, swinging it away from the safe moorings of the Christian philosophy of fellowship and mutual service, and there is need that the preachers and teachers should turn to and seek to bring the people back from the worship of Mammon and the god of unrighteousness to the Christian philosophy of fellowship and mutual service. The Afro-American people should not overlook this aspect of the matter, for in many respects they have more to be thankful for than any other of the many groups that go to make up our vast citizenship of more than 101,000,000 persons.
The Columbia State falls into the error, quite common with many Southern newspapers, of gloating over troubles which Negroes encounter in the North. God knows that Negroes have enough troubles in the
Editorial Page of
South, and in South Carolina particularly without trying to "rub elboys" with what as the State would have the world be, the Negro is trying to do when he tries find a decent place in which to live, bring up his family.
The State wants to know how Dr. O. H. Sweet managed to purchase a residence in an "exclusively white" district in Detroit Well, he bought it from a bright must Negro who owned it and who had lived as long as he desired to unmolested by "exclusive" white neighbors. That is Dr. Sweet happened to acquire that particular house.
Dr. Sweet bought the house under pressure that is upon every sort of gift that must try to crowd eighty thousand themselves into a place large enough to commodate five thousand of them. In that pressure that drives the Negroes Northern cities and in Southern cities endeavor to buy and open up new residence areas and as practically all of the new area are originally owned by whites it is all impossible to escape, at times, the possibility of conflict. It is living space the Negroes want, and not the desire to "rub elboys with whites, some of whom are of such and character that decent Negroes are to avoid them under any and all circumstances.
The Negroes' chief problem in the of America is an economic one, and any son who is not deeply prejudiced and has not got the "race equality" complex see it that way. Every time the State any other newspaper insinuates that groes wish to move into white neighborhoods merely to attain the semblance of equality" it deliberately misrepresents facts, or else speaks without any real ledge of the subject.
If the State will take a look at the N. "quarters" in which its own colored mobs are forced to live it will find that vast majority of their streets are not put their sanitary arrangements are poor in complete, and the whole physical situation is bad, and will continue bad, as long Southern people think, and influential papers preach the doctrine that such "titters" are good enough for Negroes.

Bunk, Buncombe and Boloney

The people of the peninsula are being treated again to an outburst by the racial integrity brigade. Messrs. Copeland, Powell and Plecker have been reinforced by one Dr. J. Wilton Hope, of Hampton, who sent a famous telegram to Governor McLean of North Carolina a few days ago, protesting against the appearance of the Glee Club of the University of North Carolina (white) in recital before the students of Hampton Institute, in Ogden Hall, the private assembly room of the college. Dr. Hope's objection was on behalf of the Anglo-Saxon Club of Hampton city. His objection was not sustained, the Glee Club going on with its recital. Having done so, Editor Copeland of the Newport News Daily Press, proceeded to vociferously voice his indignation, and the indignation of the marplot society of which he seems to be the official organ.
Col. Copeland and Dr. Hope pretend to be alarmed over the seating arrangements in Ogden Hall, the assembly room of Hampton Institute, a private college for colored students. Reading the yelps and yells they put in print a stranger would think that Ogden Hall is the Town Hall of Hampton and Newport News combined. Such concerts as are held in Ogden Hall are held for the benefit of the students of the college. Townspeople are, of course, welcome if they wish to attend, but they are given to understand that no special seating arrangements are made for any one. Knowing that, white people who do not wish to be poisoned by sitting upon the same floor with colored people, are at liberty to stay away. If they attend they are treated politely and permitted to group themselves together if they choose to do so, voluntarily and naturally as all good white and colored Virginians do on occasions, in deference to certain foolish but established customs.
Judging from the attendance at the concert given by the University Glee Club the great majority of the white people in Hampton town understand the situation and are not bothered about it. Despite the efforts of Dr. Hope and Col. Copeland to make it otherwise the concert was a very pleasant affair and was thoroughly enjoyed by many of the white citizens of the community, who are not offended and frightened when someone with a fear complex yells "nigger!" Col. Copeland and Dr. J. Wilton Hope see a distinction between a colored man being funeralized in a white church and a colored man making a Christian address in a white church. They did not object to the sexton of fashionable old Bruton church having the last sad rites said over him in
that edifice. But when Major Allen Washington of the Hampton faculty was invited to address a Y. M. C. A. conference in a white church in Hampton, Dr. J. Wilton Hope objected to the full extent of his lung power. So neither Dr. Hope nor Col. Cope-land impress any one outside of their own circle as being sincere, and the former's protestations of solicitude for the purity of the races and the latter's pretended love for his black mammy may be summed up in just three words: bunk, buncombe and boloney.
Another Answer
From Greensboro Daily News.
The result of the Asheville trial is the second decisive answer to mob rule judicial North Carolina has given in several months. It follows the clear path
Blame For Race Friction Due To Politics Rather Than To Economics
Great minds differ just as radically as little minds about the large as well as the small affairs of life, and it is often difficult to get at the truth. As to the origin of any given complication in the relations of one or more groups of people in a given locality as well as in the larger groupings in the State and the Nation, no two historians will agree as to the facts, and we find the same trouble when we come to two or more persons of the groups concerned. Each has this version of the difference and is not to be moved from its conviction, brawls or vengeas or war being often the outcome, between individuals or states, as the case may be. Sir Hudibras gets it off in a cute war when he is made to say:

The Commission on Interracial Co-Operation is one of the most useful and effective agencies at work in the South. It has been bringing the intelligent and well thinking of both races in personal touch and in influencing communities through press and publics in such a way as to make for the best there is possible in racial cooperation. Dr. W. W. Alexander, the Director of the Commission, has little of the visionary and much of the common sense and practical in his approach to his work, and that is the reason his Commission has had such good success. Dr. Alexander has been talking for publication, and we gather from his statement of the case that he considers that economic causes are to be blamed for race difficultie and that education and cooperation of both races will break down and overcome these. He says:
The Commission on Interracial Co-Operation is one of the most useful and effective agencies at work in the South. It has been bringing the intelligent and well thinking of both races in personal touch and influencing communities through press and pulpits in such a way as to make for the best there is possible in racial cooperation. Dr. W. W. Alexander, the Director of the Commission, has little of the visionary and much of the common sense and practical in his approach to his work, and that is the reason his Commission has had such good success. Dr. Alexander has been talking for publication, and we gather from his statement of the case that he considers that economic causes are to be blamed for race difficulties and that education and cooperation of both races will break down and overcome these. He says:
"Sixty years ago the people of the South took up the task of building a new civilization. The Civil War had destroyed the economic foundations upon which the former civilization had rested. The soil, the climate and the people were about all that remained. The soil and the climate alone were as they had formerly been, the human elements in the situation had been greatly changed. Former masters were no longer masters and those who had been slaves were now free men. Together they must build anew what they had seen swept away by war."
But they did not start together to build anew what had been destroyed by the war they started separately, with the whites string from the beginning to hitch a peonage condition upon the freedmen instead of the slave condition, and this was not entire overcome by the establishment of the Free
But they did not start together to build anew what had been destroyed by the war; they started separately, with the whites striving from the beginning to hitch a peonage condition upon the freedmen instead of the slave condition, and this was not entirely overcome by the establishment of the Freedman's Bureau, at the instance of General Grant upon the suggestion of General John Eaton, whose invaluable book, "Grant, Lincoln and the Freedmen," shows how the planters and others laid the foundation for the economic exploitation of the freed men which they had practiced legally as slaveholders. The development of Southern industries proceeded along these lines, with more or less of friction, until the overthrow of the Carpet-Bag governments placed the Southern States in the hands of the master class, who promptly began to enact labor laws and separation laws of all kinds and disfranchising laws, all which worked smoothly enough, with force and fraud and terrorism to hold the peon to his lot, until the present political oligarchical condition was fastened upon the South, in which Chief Justice Roger B. Taney's dictum, that, "it is held to be good law and public opinion that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect," has become measurably true in all of the Southern States.
The Migrant Movement North and West had its basis in the Democratic oligarchical rule and legal exploitation of the time and labor of the Negro free man, and the objects of the Commission on Interracial Co-Operation have been and are to undermine this rule and exploitation and to secure for the Negro citizen the privileges and immunities which are his, constitutionally, equally with other groups of the citizenship. Until this is accomplished there will be plenty of difficulties for both races in the South as well as throughout the country. Dr. Alexander may think we have misjudged the objects of his Commission, but, logically, we shall get nowhere if political oligarchical government and economic exploitation of the time and labor of any group are not undermined and done away with by racial cooperation.
Another Decisive Answer to the Mob
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
From Greenshoro Daily News.
The result of the Asheville trial is the second decisive answer to mob rule judicial North Carolina has given in seven months. It follows the clear path laid down by the Williamston case in May and combined with that case points the penalty for those who in their arrogance and savagery arise to smite the constitutional government under which the State lives. The first case was a splendid justification of the hand of the law reaching out to answer the lawless; the second case, in essential details, is even more important justification of the same hand outstretched to restrain the same spirit. The two together are powerful proof in the final efficacy of the law itself and are thereby powerful incentives to all men to hold to trust in the law.
The State of North Carolina can not send to penitentiary and road gang and place heavy fines upon a score of mob men without making a smashing attack on the very essence of mob spirit. It cannae a second time do the same thing in another part of the State, far distant from the first case, without reemphasizing its attitude and thereby broadcasting to the entire State the answer that will be given in every case. Forty men know the answer; the State knows it, and the entire country is fast finding it out.
Actually the DAILY NEWS thinks, there is more to encourage in certain aspects of the Asheville situation than there was in the Williamston case. The background of racial feeling was higher. The series of attacks had fed old hatreds until men who by education, training and outlook on life ought to know better, and ordinarily do, lost all control. A mob balked may become a mob even more infuriated. The trial of one Negro charged with criminal assault resulted, in the face of positive identification by the victim, in absolute acquittal. All these factors played around a situation already tense with emotion.
Yet the answer is given in unmistakable terms. For that we think North Carolina has much to thank in the attitude and hearing of Judge Stack. He has held tight and true in the midst of a situation which might have developed into anything, and by his judgment, dignity, temperance and firmness has had, we think, much to do with the final result. That is something to look to with pride, it is something to remember. If in this year North Carolina has risen to the highest height it has yet
Why Don't They Stay Away
From Virginiaian Pilot.
The glee club of the University of North Carolina (white) gave a recital last week in the assembly hall of Hampton Institute (colored).
Nothing disquieting about that. Hampton Institute is famous for its own glee club. The glee club of the University of North Carolina sitting on the stage probably found a generously appreciative audience in front. In such a strictly professional interchange of collegiate entertainment there can be no suspicion of anything racially harmful.
But the incident was not without unpleasantness. The Anglo-Saxon Club of Hampton protested against the performance because in inviting white people to the hall, the Hampton authorities made no provision for separate seats for them. Those who came, it was made clear, would have to take their seats among the Hampton students. A telegraphic protest was lodged with Governor McLean, of North Carolina.
It is marvelous how the honest quest of racial integrity can become so easily and needlessly involved with insignificant externals. The North Carolina glee club came to perform before the Hampton student body. It would have been a strange and uncoach act for the manager of the glee club to cancel the performance because certain white people felt like attending but were not pleased with the seating arrangements. The seating arrangements were not the concern of the glee club but of Hampton Institute, and the protest to Governor
Saturday, November 21, 1925
attained in its answer to the mob, much of that progress is due to the work of Judge Sinchair and of Judge Stack.
If the State can see in the final results a victory for orderly government it ought never to forget that the victory has been won at a fearful cost and in certain aspects is only a partial victory. An infinitely finer victory would have resulted from such display of force and authority in the beginning as would have stopped the mob before it overruled officers and overthrew government in one of the most civilized communities in North Carolina. Grave doubt existed at Williamston as to whether officers in the beginning had done all possible to restrain the mob. That same grave doubt exists in Asheville. In both instances, the DAILY NEWS believes, prompt and decisive action by the sheriff or by the other officers would have prevented a large part, and probably all, of that which was done. That promptness and that early decisiveness were lacking, and all else proceeds from that lack. All else proceeds from that lack plus one other factor: The prevailing spirit of mob rule which in spite of all our boasted progress browns restlessly under the surface ready to burst into flame. "There are now five divisions to the United States: north, east, south, west and North Carolina," says a Negro newspaper in Norfolk, the Journal and Guide, in a striking tribute to this State. "Geographically North Carolina is in the South, otherwise it is in a distinct class to itself." But mob spirit is not ended in North Carolina. It exists everywhere and is ready at all time to flout the law. If the stirring record of victories is to be maintained it will be only by the most careful guarding and nourishing of respect for government, by the sharpest supervision and quickest action on every doubtful case and by the most zealous care of every part of the judicial processes. In the long run civilization will win through the education of all people into trust in the law. But that is looking far into the future. Until that time the honor of the State and the lives of men charged with crime must be guarded by officers with far greater zeal than was manifest in either Williamston or Asheville. The crowning disgrace of the Asheville situation, second only to the outbreak of mob spirit was reputable citizens who ought to know far better did much to inflame and spread that spirit.
McLean is therefore a protest in a vacuum.
Is there not a very simple way to solve this recurrent question of mixed seating in the Hampton Institute auditorium? Instead of making no end of unpleasantness to induce them with special seating accommodations for spectacles they are under to compulsion to attend, why do not these white people who object to mixed seating stay away?
Hit And Run Drivers
From Ladder/Dispatch.
Few offenses leave a worse taste in the mouth of the general public than those of which that fortunately not very large aggregation known as hit and run drivers are guilty. In the nature of things we must expect accidents to occur from time to time. The most careful motorist may kill or injure a pedestrian because of circumstances which he is unable to control. It is not the killing or maiming which so arouses public resentment, for it is realized that often it is humanly impossible to avoid it. It is the speeding away after some one has been struck down without any attempt to render aid and apparently utterly careless regarding the condition of the victim. It is conduct of this kind which is not to be excused and which is deserving of the severest condemnation and punishment as great as the law will allow wherever it is possible to approach the offender.
In the most recent case of the kind which has shocked this community profoundly, the offense was aggravated by dragging the body some distance from the
scene and concealing it in the weeds. There is reason to believe that death had been instantaneous, but that fact could scarcely have been known positively to this unknown driver and it might have been that he left to die one whose life could have been saved had there been prompt assistance. In this case too, the gravity of the offense was increased by the theft of the car which was the instrument of death.
There is as yet no clue to the identity of the guilty one, but we do not believe that offenses of this nature can be committed and those responsible therefor long go unwhipped of justice. For the good of the community and the safety of its citizens it is necessary that examples be made of this class of offenders.
"One-Sided Justice"
From: Biblical Recorder.
From January December.
That "all men are equal before the law" may pass as a legal maxim, but in actual life it is not true. Within the past month three white men have been acquitted on the plea of insanity, when there was no expert examination to show whether or not in the judgment of an alienist, they were insane. Some months ago a Negro was convicted in Forsyth county and sentenced to the electric chair. Judge Shaw tried the case, and afterward the judge was informed that the prisoner had been deranged. He set aside the former verdict and ordered a new trial. A few days ago the Negro was tried a second time. Dr. Anderson, superintendent of the State Hospital, in Raleigh, was summoned as an expert witness. He gave it as his opinion that the prisoner was insane. A minister of the gospel who had had opportunity to watch the prisoner somewhat closely, testified that he believed the Negro was insane. Some citizens of the county in which the Negro was tried declared it to be their opinion that he was sane, and the jury brought in a verdict of first degree murder. The prisoner was again sentenced to the electric chair, and unless the governor interferes he will suffer the extreme penalty.
Cannot a blind man see that there is here most flagrant discrimination? Had the case been reversed, so that a white man was on trial for killing a Negro, does any one believe he would have been convicted in the face of the evidence which was offered in behalf of the Negro? When there is such gross miscarriage of justice, how can we prate about all men being equal before the law?
On several occasions this writer has expressed the opinion that governors were too free in exercising the pardoning power, but this is one case in which we sincerely hope Governor McLean will commute the sentence to life imprisonment. This is the only way an injustice can be partially righted.
Will His Black Mammy Recognize Him When He Gets To Heaven?
From the Daily Press.
Our correspondent of Northern raising wants to know what Dr. Hope and the rest of them will do when we get to heaven, where there are no racial distinctions. But he seems to forget that our mortal bodies will not be translated to heaven and that in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God." There will be no racial problems in heaven, because in that blest abode all are "new creatures."
This writer hopes and believes that he will get to heaven by and by, and if so, when his spirit arrives at the heavenly gates it will be met by the spirit of his mother and the spirit of his "mummy," and each will call him "son," as both called him when they were in the flesh.
The Poet's Corner
The poet has sung of love in verse.
The musician with his song.
The sculptor from the stone of earth
Carves it in a form;
The artist paints his beautiful scenes
Of the thing to him which love seems;
They have likened it unto the sea,
The moon, a clinging vine to a tree,
And everything that Nature holds,
Everything that life enfolds.
But the poet's verse, nor musi-
BUSINESS TALKS
Financing the Enterprise
A newly organized commercial venture does not, because of the youth have resource to the great underwriting and investment houses of J. P. Morgan and Co. or Kuhn, Leib and Co. Therefore, they have to raise their own capital where, when, and how they can. This is especially true of ventures sponsored by our race group. In the main our various businesses have not reached the stage in the development to warrant the placing of any extensive lines of credit at their disposal, and the banks within our own group are not so tied up with their own propositions that many respects by infant organizations for financial help are turned down. I do not here mean to infer that there should be an indiscriminate granting of credit, but there are many propositions of merit, which, after careful investigation would warrant the placing of some credit at disposal of promoters along with the experience and counsel of the bankers. The inability of many promoters in the past to secure credit through the proper channels, led to the offering of stock to the members of the race under the guise of investment; stock selling at best is an expensive affair, and doubly so when the stock is offered by men whose ability is untrited. It has been stated by competent authorities that it costs from 20% to 30% to sell a stock issue of $100,000 provided the selling does not consume more than 60 days. With the poor facilities at the disposal of promoters of our race it takes considerable time before a substantial sum of money can be raised to make any appreciable business showing. In the past men have sought to interest the public in enterprises without the blamable of an existence this is woefully wrong. The general public should never, in fairness to them, be asked to take part in any commercial idea until it has been tested in the thoroughly, and after it has been proved beyond a doubt, that a market exists for the product of the idea, then capital can be sought, after for expansion purposes, because the initial stages have been gone through in the testing out of the idea. The logical step in securing necessary funds to begin actual operation in a small way would be to interest friends or relatives having faith in the integrity, ability, and capacity of the promoter; the promoters themselves devoting all of their time and energy to the development of the project and after it has reached the stage where it pays them a living salary, and earns a fair return on the invested capital, with still a surplus for any contingencies that might arise, then, and then only, is it ready for public participation.
cian's song
The artist's scene, nor sculptor's
form.
Portraits not what love is to me.
For love is life's essence.
A glimpse of Paradise.
A God-given sample of what
Heaven is to be.
