Norfolk Journal and Guide DYNAMITE IN STICK CANDY BLOWS OFF MAN'S FACE CONTROVERSY WAGES OVER ALLEGED ELK CONVENTION GEN'L COMMITTEE DEFICIT J. FINLEY WILSON Grand Exalted Ruler I. B. P. O. E. of W. M. A. Norrell, of Richmond has retained attorneys Arm W. W. Scott, of Washington, and Col. John A. Cuthins, of his home city, to safeguard his interests in the controversy that has been precipitated between himself and J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, by Wilson's recent mandate o Norrell directing that the latter "forthwith and immediately" desist from further collecting funds from the Richmond public for the alleged purpose of msking up a deficit of nearly $4,000, said to have been incurred by the general committee on the Grand Lodge of Elks during the recent convention. Norrell was chairman of the general committee, and in recent weeks has made efforts to collect from the Richmond public $3,367, said to be needed when out unpaid inebedness for which, it is alleged, the committee obligated itself incident to entertaining the Grand Norrell Gives Public Statement Norrell submitted to the press his week copies of a batch of correspondence which has recently passed between himself and the grand exalted ruler; himself and Capital City Lodge, of Richmond; a letter addressed by him to the Grand Lodge officers, and a copy of his reply to a recent article in the Washington Eagle. Wilson's newspaper, written by Bill Lawson, the fraternal editor. This correspondence discloses that there is considerable controversy in Richmond and Washington regarding the alleged deficit, propriety of Norrell to proceed to collect it from the public, and the propriety of Wilson's restraining order. Demands An Accounting The grand exalted ruler's mandate not only directs that Norrell desist from further collecting, but demands that the Richmond man make 'to the head of the Order at once "an accurate and correct report from every source by you and what disposition you have made of the funeral collected." Wilson declares in his restraining order that Norrell's action constitutes a dangerous precedent and a reflection upon the convention. He also charges that the Richmond man is persecuting in injustice upon the Grand Lodge officers. Norrell is directed to inform Wilson why he proceeded to collect the money and under what authority he is operating. Norrell Replies Replying to the grand exalted ruler's mandate, Norrell characterizes Wilson's action as "an interference into local affairs" and advises the head of the Order that no detail of answer to his demands will be made until he has had sufficient time to confer with his counsel whom he declares he engages, "In view of the cover great, contained therein." (In the mid-date.) Norrell suggests that Wilson is furnish him with the names of those persons who brought the matter to the attention of the grand exalted ruler, adding: 'I am convinced that the distinguished exalted ruler will gladly furnish him information, since he can have M. A. NORRELL, Chairman of General Committee, Elks Convention no motive for his action except that exact justice be done, to all parties concerned." Both the grand exalted ruler's mandate and Norrell's reply are couched in dignified terms. But when Norrell comes to reply to Bill Lawson's article which appeared in the Washington Eagle under caption, "Grand Exalted Ruler issues Mandate," he waxes acclaim. Lawson's article, which is written around a recent announcement in the Richmond News-leader of the alleged defect, and the efforts to collect with information, in imbuido, unavailable to the Richmond man's handling of affairs of the general committee. Norrell replies with a verbal lashage of the trivial editor, and warns him that both himself and the Washington Eagle will be held to strict accountability for the article. Lawson's article said in part: "It is said that if Norrell had attended to business and not spent so much convention and pre-convention time endeavoring to be elected Grand Exalted Ruler, it was altogether possible for expenses to have been made. But all through the convention, while Norrell was censuring to defend the men who had made him, there was no one to tell the crowd where to spend their money. "A full and accurate account of all men received to defray the Grand Lodge expense must be made forthwith to the office of the Grand Exalted Ruler by Chairman Norrell as to authority for procedure in collecting funds without proper disgrace." To that statement Norrell re- plied in audit: "The affairs of the general committee are in able hands and will be taken care of. In regard to the 'SOLEMN MANDATE.' I wish you and the Brotherhood to know that the committee has nothing to fear from any source; that it has the solid backing of the best thinking people of this community and that, at the proper time, it will put to eternal shamie and condemnation all sympathies like this 'FRATERNAL EDITOR' who cares nothing for fact and truth but, like a scavenger, feeds on the things which decent people abhor. "If you are in doubt as to what really happened, at the Richmond convention, ask the Grand Exalted Ruler, and he will tell you that, instead of campaigning for myself, you allege, I worked faithfully for the re-election of the present Grand Exalted Ruler. He will tell you that, with tears in his eyes, he told me he was 'heartbroken' and requested that I do what I could to have the vote of Virginia cast in his favor. The record speaks for itself. I cast the solid vote of Williams Lodge No. 11, twenty (20) in number, for him, and led the way by which he received the vast majority of the vote of the Virginia delegate. The wisdom of my counsellor is a matter of debate but the fact, nevertheless, remains." The settee that passed between Norrell and Capital City lodge has had joint representation on the general committee, indicate that the former disclaims knowledge of a convention deficit, and (Continued on Page Three) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926 LOADED CAP IMBEDDED IN XMASS SWEETS Cape Charles Man Victim Of Unusual Accident Which Nearly Proves Fatal; Surgeons Blood Poisoning SURGEONS ENDEAVOR TO RECONSTRUCT HIS FACE William Mason, of Cape Charles, sustained serious injury Christmas eve when half of his face was blown off as he attempted to bite down upon a stick of candy which he had received among his Christmas gifts. He was rushed to Dixie Hospital, Hampton, where surgeons are making strenuous efforts to reconstruct his profile. Mason gathered his Christmas gifts on Christmas eve, went to his home, went to bed and then decided to parture of the stick of candy.

When members of his family rushed to his room they found Mason in bed, which had been spattered with blood by the accident. At the hospital Mr. Mason's injuries are reported as most dangerous.

CROWD ENROLLS IN METROPOLITAN BANK XMAS CLUB CROWD ENROLLS IN METROPOLITAN BANK XMAS CLUB Depositors Prepare Now For 1926 Taxes, Insurance Premiums, Interest On Notes And Other Obligations. The Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company's 1926 Christmas Savings Club is enrolling a large number of sales to meet the new year, leading to tabulation made by officials of that institution this week. In 1925 the bank paid out approximately $100,000 to this class of depositors, and indications point to even larger payments in 1926. The Christmas savings classes at this bank are planned most conveniently for depositors. There are four of these classes: $5.0 a week for 50 weeks pays $25.00; $1.0 a week for 50 weeks pays $50.00; $2.00 a week for 50 weeks pays $10.00 and $20.00 on week of weeks pays $250.00. The amounts are stationary and the depositors are never in doubt as to what the next payment will be. Begun primarily as a means of encouraging people regularly to save a certain amount each week throughout the year so as to be provided with cash for Christmas, this form of saving is now generally aimed at more frugal purposes than merely to have Christmas spending money. The payment of taxes, insurance premiums, interest on Christmas gifts and other fixed inevitable obligations are paid off with the Christmas savings money. The bankers are also in a position to advise the depositors as to certain ways in which their savings might be invested. Norfolk Singers Feted In Chicago Messrs. James C.

COLOR ISSUE LOOMS UP ON HAITIAN POST Report That Government Of Island Republic Disapproves Appointment of Colored Man Stirs Race Aspirants. STATE DEPARTMENT DECLINES TO COMMENT Washington, D. C.—The State Department Tues. declined to comment on the report that a colored man would not be acceptable to the Haitian government as minister from the United States. The question of appointing a minister to Haiti has not arisen for sometime, nor will it have to be decided upon as long as the high commissioner remains there, it was said at the State Department, and in view of this fact the question of appointing a colored man to Haiti he never arisen. "For this reason," an official said, "the Department must decline to comment on a question which has not yet come up for discussion and which is primarily of academic interest." Report Persists Notwithstanding this statement from the State Department, it was repeated in senatorial circles that the Haitian government had advised this government that a colored man would not be acceptable as minister to the United States. Senator Irvin L. Lennroot of Wisconsin has been interested in the appointment of a colored man as minister to Haiti. He had a representative to take up the question of the acceptability of a colored man to Haiti with the Haitian location here and it was reported at the time that a colored man of character and standing would be acceptable. Since then, however, Senator Lennroot is reported to have been advised that no colored person would be acceptable solely on the ground of color. In the meantime, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has under consideration two resolutions introduced by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, one of which requests Secretary of State Kellog to advise the Senate as to what he should do regarding General John H. Russell is exercising in Haiti as the American High Commissioner; and the other expresses it to be the sense of the Senate that the President should withdraw the machines now in Haiti.

Madam C. J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower has stood the gruelling test of womanhood and proved its rare excellence beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt. Women all over this land and in 29 foreign countries have used it to enliven nerve cells, enrich the scalp, thicken thin hair, soften and silken rough, wiry hair and thousands of both men and women have found this preparation matchless in nourishing and stimulating weakened hair growth on scalps left all but bald by protracted illness. Madam C.J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower is not an experiment, it has stood the test of time and is today a proven safe, certain way to have better hair. RICHMOND IOURNAL-AND-GUIDE BUREAU Robt. A. Cotump 1212 St. John Street Richmond, Va.—At the benefit given Sunday for Mrs. Fannie Clarke at 3rd Street Methodist church, and after a wonderful program had been executed by the best talent in the city, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker in making the presentation speech lived over again a scene from a like celebration which took place 19 years ago. Mrs. Walker made it known to most of the folks present, and reminded a few, that a benefit had been given for Mrs. Clarke, who was then Fannie Payne Walker, at the end of what was then 25 years of service. Coincidently it fell to the lot of Mrs. Maggie Walker to make the presentation, speech this time as before, and in so doing she simply read an old copy of the St. Luke Herald, her speech made on that occasion 19 years before. It was quite befitting for the occasion; and as the two principals stood there upon the pulpit facing each other, partially embraced, Mrs. Maggie read while Mrs. Fannie listened, giving a retrospective view of an act of a generation ago the two had to struggle hard to keep back the tears that were very much in evidence and which seemed, every minute would flow. A substantial purse was raised and a beautiful basket of lovely flowers was presented her by the church. Mrs. Bessie Paxton presented the flowers for the church. The much talked of celebration of the Community Christmas tree was not as much of a success as it was hoped it would have been, as far as the colored people were concerned. The tree, a giant cedar, stood in the center of Broad street just below Eleventh. It was beautifully decorated with all the things that go to make up a lovely Christmas tree. A beautifully illuminated star which represented the star of the East which guided the wire men on the night when Christ was born, traveled slowly from the cast until it rested directly over the tree at which time the exercises were begun. Many people had gathered to witness it and those around it seemed to enjoy it very much. When the time arrived for the colored people to hold their exercises they were very conspicuous by their absence. There were not more than two dozen present, and various choirs that were to have sung at this time did not put in their appearance either. The workers who had charge of it were very much embarrassed and were unable to account for the lack of Christmas spirit at this time. Dr. Chas. S. Morris of Norfolk, the eminent scholar and lecturer, held his vast audience breathless, for a long spell Sunday afternoon at Sixth Mountain Zion church when he delivered a lecture on that much discussed subject evolution.

"I wish, further, to advise you that our committee, has no quarrel with Capital City Lodge as such, for their conduct in this affair has been in pired and such resolution, as purports to represent continent of Capital City Lodge, has been the deliberate act of someone who had no other objects in view but to provoke a rife between two flourishing lodges of Ells."

The Keystone Credit House (INCORPORATED) 500 Main Street Flowers Likely To Be Named Next Opponent of Paul Berlenback, World's Light Heavyweight Champion. Jack Lawrence, of the New York Herald-Tribune has to say in part on the Flowers McTigue melce for the benefit of charity: "While the holiday kept persons away from the Garden on Wednesday night, it is certain that the Yuletide spirit did not deter the customers from squawking cooperiously over the decision in the main event, which brought together Mike McTigue, former light heavyweight champion of the world and Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Negro. Vote for The Irishman. "The judges, Peter B. Brady and Bernard Gimble, gave Mike McTigue the decision, while the vote of Eddie Purdy, the referee, was cast in favor of the Negro. Flowers won rather easily, taking seven out of the ten rounds they were cross-eyed or color-blind or something, and the verdict went to McTigue, much to the astonishment of about everybody in the house. "The decision, it was said yesterday, with the subject of a search investigation on the part of the Boxing Commission. But it is hard to see what good such a probe can do at this time. This seemed to be a faux nas that could not be blamed on the so called "bumming element," which is supposed to be responsible for everything that goes wrong in the business of professional nurgilism. "In the first place, there was not much betting on the McTigue-Flowers scuffle. The price was quoted at 6 to 5 with Flowers the favorite an hour before the men entered the ring. There was little business transcribed. There was no doubt whether the players or layers have ever been keenly interested in Mike McTigue as a betting proposition. He has always been too much of an in-and-outter and too uncertain a quantity. "In one place where quite a few wagers were laid on Wednesday night all bells were called off when the decision is announced. Those who had bet on McTigue almost unanimously refused, to take the money. Most of the bets were small, but one man had $650 on the decision. When the cash was turned over to him by the stakeholder he returned the money to the man from whom he had won. He had seen the fight and said he was convinced that McTigue did not deserve the decision. The man who won the $650, incidentally, is a well known bookmaker. "When the Boxing Commission meets on Tuesday it is possible that some official action will be taken in connection with Wednesday nights fusso. The action is likely to take the form of a ruling that Flowers and not McTigue, will be named as the next opponent of Paul Berlennach in a match for the light heavyweight championship to the world which will be staged by Tex Rickard in Madison Square Garden on February 5." An idea of how those in general feel about the McTigue-Flowers affair at the New Garden can be gleaned from what Fred Keats of the (New York) Daily Mirror has to say in part after covering the fight. "Mike McTigue, who was handed the decision over Tiger Flowers, came out today with a challenge to Paul Berlenbach for a return match with Mike failed to cover himself with glory by his showing and he will need some time to live from the disappointing showing he made before it will be possible to to smoke up interest in another battle with Astoris's solid socker. Flowers and his manager, "Squawk" Miller, are accepting the surprising verdict in good part. Both are smart enough to realize that the publicity they received by losing although winning, has done them more good than if the decision had gone their way. The Tiger's drawing power has been enhanced rather than injured by the affair and he sees a profitable return match with McTigue by hopping. Miller, who registers a challenge with the Boxing Commission at its next meeting and the solos probably will notify Mike that he will do well to accept." When all the world was in a spirit of cheerful give up, Mike McTigue, former light heavyweight champion was not denied his share of Utulete girls, when the judges deliberately gave him the decision over Tiger Flowers at the Christmas Funds show staged at the new Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, of last week. The mugnanimous judges handed the Irishman the verdict after ten rounds of hectic milling midst the boots, shouts and boozes. The going was furious and fast outloud the entire distance an Flowers forged ahead in the first four rounds, backing McTigue ahead with a savage attack of lefth and rights to the chest. In the fifth stanza, the former champion counter attack at the body of the Atlanta Deacon and forced Flowers to hold, but the sixth round found both men scrapping on even terms receiving cuts over the eyes. McTigue faced the furious assault of Flower's cool and answered with hard blows that had their telling effect, but the Tiger continued to hammer away to maintain his lead and his opponent appeared to be failing at the end of the melce. In the last two rounds, Tiger Flowers carved the fight to Tiger so fast, frequent and strong that many believed that this burst of speed would decide the encounter in his favor on points but the judges said him nay and the 15,000 spectators readily made known their disapproval. McTigue did away with his usual style of defensive fighting and traded socks and punches with Flowers and this brand of fighting was to the Tiger's Biking. The winner is to be determined with the light heavyweight champion. Paul Berlenback, according to reports and in event there was a tie, McTigue would be given the preference. McTigue was defeated by Berlenback for the titular honors not long ago and has been crowing for a return honour and it seems now that he will get that chance with the assistance given him by the judges at the fight. The report shows that Flowers easily had the advantage of the contest, jumping to the lead in the first four rounds and winding up like a whirlwind in the last two frames. George Godfrey won the decision over Martin Burke in an unimpressive showing. The contest bore, Godfrey weighed in at 222 pounds and Burke tipped the beams at 177½.

Symphony Orchestra Comes With "The Big Parade" Next Week The exploitation of new motion pictures by the use of many superlatives and other extravagant claims will be "de-banked" of its excess baggage if other picture men follow the lead of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer press agents in handling "The Big Parade." Contrary to all the accepted codes, laws, rules and regulations of the art of press-agentry, these men are registering at their hotels, glablanding the local managers and visiting offices at the news offices without bragging about their attraction. Their adcopy and their stories are as free from adjectives as an old fashioned bank statement. Of course there is a reason, "The Big Parade" was introduced to the public in New York without any of the usual advance claims that often cause disappointment by reason of their very extravagance. The affair was not gunned by any myths; but on the contrary literally advertised and any news of it was publicized, but there was no "bunk." Everything was left for the critics to say—and the critics said it. Also the public said it. There isn't not been an empty seat at the Ackroyd Theatre, New York, (where the production is being shown) since the run started on November last. The management figured the same tactics applicable to the charity at large. Moldyest pays when you have the goods. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has John Gilbert, Renée Adoree, Karl Dang, Tom O'Brien, Hobert Bossworth, Claire McDowell, Claire Adams, Robert Oher, Rosita Marstini in a romance of the great world crisis written by Captain Laurence Stallings, and directed by King Vidor, him who made "The Jackknife Man," "Wife of the Centaur" and many productions of note. The music was composed by David Mendoza and William Axt, and will be interpreted here by a touring orchestra of twenty pieces. Presentations of "The Big Parade" will be given twice daily at the Academy, for one week, beginning Monday, January 4. A touring symphony orchestra of twenty pieces, and a carabid of special scenery will accompany "The Big Parade" to this city. Seat sale opened Thursday, December 31. HARRY GREB IS CHALLENGED BY TIGER FLOWERS New York will have another ineligible title-holder, if Harry Greb, middleweight champion fails to accept the challenge of Tiger Flowers Athlta middleweight, for a title bout within 30 days. Wake Mitchell manager of the Georgia scraper has posted $2,500 dollars with New York Boxing Commission to make matters binding. The Commission's edict demands that Greb engage in no other titular affairs until he formally accepts the challenge of Flowers unless he wishes to be placed on the ineligible list. Flowers is considered the most logical contender for the middleweight crown. Electrification on a large scale with the use of American capital is planned in Rumania, where preliminary engineering surveys are being made by Swiss, Italian and French experts. FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. A Sportsperson Such men as Brice now of the University of Southern California; Drew, John Amherst back who, having completed his four-year athletic campaign; Pinkett of Amherst, Brown of Tufts, Ink Williams of Brown, Leslie Pollard and the Bullock brothers of Dartmouth, Abbott of South Dakota, Hamblin of Knox College, Bill Mathews of Harvard, Galway of Iowa, Whelter of Illinois, Parker of Northwestern, Young of 1111 n Northwestern, Young of 1111 n Northwestern, Brothers of Milligan and Harvey of Colgate have not forgot in the all-American selections for all-time. The records of these men are well known and were given due consideration in the picking and selecting. We can well remember Leslie Pollard, fresh from Dartmouth in the year of 1911 when Howard's great combination had been broken up and practically a new squand was in the making, that this same Dartmouth star made no showing with the Lincoln Lions in the annual clash. Made no showing it doesn't mean that Pollard didn't play any football at all, but the showing he made in this game was not as impressive as many had looked forward to and he didn't cover himself with the glory that had marked his Dartmouth career. HAMPTON QUINT LAMBASTS TIGER CAGERS 40-20 By THOMAS W. YOUNG Hampton, Va., Dec. 19—Hampton advanced another peg in the race for Association supremacy when a Tiger from the wilds of Lawrenceville failed to break thru the cage, and a certain Seasider clan van amuck doubling their opponents' score of 20 while St. Paul's lads looked on in confusion. Another race took the limelight today as twice-elected captain Chester R. Jones recorded six hikers to take high point honors with 12. Jones was a mainstay in Hampton's protective often dislocating St. Paul plays which looked like inevitable goals. Amis, of the Tigers, his a hand out for his apportionment of phantoms and Amis deserves them for, almost single-handed, he accounted for over half of his team's points. This versatile forward scored five field goals and one free throw, often shooting under fire. The Seaside nucleus, Ha grieve, comes close behind the opposing team, but two tries for a total of 10 points. Dimitinut but dangerous "Shorty" Lambrint was next down the line with four baskets and one foul shot. There were no real outstanding stars; the spotlight recoiled from one end of the gym to the other featuring every player during some stage of the game. Both teams exhibited well tutored defensive games and been passing, some of their foul shots, to St. Paul was handicapped by inadequate playing facilities at home but expects soon to have a gym and put winners on the road. Robinson sank a couple of long ones for the Tigers while Bannister and Dean, an ex-Hampton man who substituted for Nelson, guarded-well. The guarding and passing of "Cute" Brown for the Sea Lion were both brilliant and worthy of mention. In an exciting preliminary, the Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a count of 9-5. Referee, V. S.

It must be remembered that, although Drew played a wonderful brand of football, Amherst is listed among the mallar schools and had little chance of stacking up against the bigger fellows. Of course, Drew flashed in the Princeton game. Then Matthews, the Harvard star gained his athletic laurels through baseball. he was a dependable footballer, but many times he was caught in the middle and jammed.

The Community Center basketball team scored a 18-13 victory over the Norfolk County Club of Hampton Institute in its initial game of the season at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden last Saturday night before a crowd estimated at between 350 and 400. Despite the fact that the teams were handicapped by the slick dance hall floor, this was one of the most interesting times. The local hasketters were leading at 12-5 when the whistle announced half-time, with the Hampton boys fighting hard to catch the lead. In the second half, the visiting five staged a threatening rally and caged more balls than the local team, but the lead established by the Community Center was too much for the Norfolk County Club to catch and the game ended with the Norfolk team in the lead. The Norfolk County Club found itself in the second half, gave an exhibition of superb passing that had the locals puzzled for awhile, but the Center quint's guarding was faultless and Hampton was unable to break through to tally enough points to take the play. The playing of Thomas Young, Horace Smith and Bernard Young was the feature for the visiting team, while Wilkins and Bibbins flashed for Community Center.

We admit that they must be good to make the grade, but they must also be good to make the grade in our schools. There's only one principle and it prevails throughout the land, and it is when a man is a sub, he must be near or as good as the man he is substituting in order that there will be no noticeable weakness when a shift is made and in order to make another performer's position, he must be better than the one who has been carrying out that assignment. Our youths don't have to be supermen to make it over their lighter brothers. They only have to be better than the man who's trying for the same position.

It is believed that league could be successfully worked out here, thus giving this city its first and only branch of organized sports. It is hoped that activities will begin about the middle of January. There is enough loose material around this neck of the woods to have at least five teams. There is material in the following clubs who have by some means expressed intention of taking to the courts: Community Center, Northeast Athletic Center, Northeast Norfolk College of Elks, Collegians, Booker Washington high school and a quintom composed of some of the professional men. Then, there is a possibility of interesting the Veterans of Foreign Wars and one or two other clubs. The league will not be restricted to any fixed number. All clubs who desire to enter this league are invited. A meeting will be held very shortly to perfect plans for this league. The Journal and Guide, under whose auspices the league will function will present a silver loving cup to the championship team at the tournament. Further information can be obtained by getting in touch with this paper. Junior Quint The Community Center Junior basketball quint is rounding; in form for a busy season and the outlook for a fairly large schedule is very bright. The game will be played with the junior five of Booster Washington at an early date. Leon Alston is coaching the Center team.

MY BEST WISHES To My Subserbers and Friends: I am now closing my first six months with you, as you acquaint in handling of the Guide for this city, and you. Both of you have treated me well. We have no friction, not even a cross puzzle. I have done my job to keep one of the very best Negro papers in your hands and you have paid me it. I have not served you with no salary, with no fee, nor the promise of reward. The Editor often sends me nice checks for my vices. I would send them back, but my other business keeps in so engaged that I never find time to lose a stamp with which to return them. With this issue we begin to give another six months. Whether or not I shall be able to hold out depends very largely upon my other business, and my youthful fitness and good health. The circulation of the Guide in and about this city has increased more than twofold. Thus, when a time when it was hard to sell the Guide heathens. But that time has passed. If I had the time and health to get among you, I could very easily double the present large circulation, which will pay any man or woman to continue the already well begun work. I no longer hear any kick against the te价 price. The people are eager to get it. Do you know of a husband who wishes my position? If so tell him that he can get it. Not that I want to give it up, but the work of my other business calls me. Thanking you for your past liberal patronage and asking the continuance of the same, I am, Suffolk Reporter Do you know that the firm of Taylor and Jones, cleaners and pressers, will serve you just for the asking. These two young business men are among the best in the city. Try them, and see for yourself. The B. Y. P.

Replying to the many rumors aflat concerning his leaving Norfolk for a pastorate in the North, Rev Richard H. Bowling declared in his sermon last Sunday night that his people need have no fear of his leaving at this time. In outlining his reasons for desiring to remain in his present pastorate he said he folk such a distinction as he enjoyed here ought not to be lightly given up, he being the direct successor of his own father and pastorating on the very spot where he was born, where he was converted, and where he was licensed and ordained for the ministry. He said further, discussing the words of Paul to the Thessalonians, "For you are our glory and our joy." "I am satisfied in pastoring this church because it is a united such who would desire my fall or a severance of my pastoral relationship. A "Liberal" Church "Furthermore, I delight in this pastorate because this is a 'liberal' church. You wisely entertain a broad tolerance of all shades of belief within the membership. One of our members 'spoke in tongues' at a recent communion, and there was not one word, not even a look of disrespect as a result. No one ever leaves this church because of being forced out for differing theological views. You are also characterized by a brotherly welcome to all denominational adherents.

BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN On last Sunday the pastor, Rev. W. Scott Miller, preached on the subject. "There Was No Room In The Inn For Joseph and Mary But The Ox Made Room For Them In The Stable." Among the visitors at this service were Prof. J. M. Mahone, a graduate of Wilberforce University, who spoke feelingly of mission work in Africa among his people; Miss Thalia Moine, niece of Dr. S. L. Moine; Mrs. Briscoe, of Washington, D. C., who is the mother of Little Elizabeth Briscoe, 822 avenue C; Misses Helma and Doris Dungue, students of Hampton Institute, and Mrs. J. Riley Dungue. The school was not so well attended, but at the close of the lesson hour, those present rehearsed the musical selections for the Christmas exercises. At 8 p.m., Prof. J. M. Mahone, of South Africa, showed stereoptic views of South Africa and spoke well of each picture. He is a most eloquent speaker and a sweet singer. He sang several selections in his native tongue. Quite a nice offering was lifted to help him in his way to New York. Mrs. S. J. Moore last last Wednesday for her native home, Aiken, S. C., to spend the holidays with relatives.

He warned Negroes that in dealing with others in the solution of these vexing problems that they must at all times and under all circumstances insist on the equality of man. The reason the world has the peace of Locarno is due largely to the fact that the Germans were sitting at the peace table not as the conquered, but as equals. Seneca was quoted as saying, "All of us have the same origin, the same source; no man is nobler than the save he, who has a more upright character." The work of the Fellowship of Reconciliation in Los Angeles was cited to show what work could be done when Negroes and whites honestly come together as equals and try to solve their problems.

Wise of New York City, one of the great men of the nation, has raised a great big storm by declaring that Jesus was a Jew and that the Jews must accept Him and His teachings. The French government is in terrible financial straits and is making desperate efforts to get out without a revolution in the government. The government of France has a monopoly of the tobacco trade. Suggestions that it dispose of this monopoly and extricate itself has brought a bid of $600,000,000, over fifteen billion francs, from the Shulte Tobacco Company of New York City. The wonder is that one American concern has that much money to invest in a foreign monopoly. --- There are people in Virginia who think that the races should live so far apart that their lives cannot touch at any point, but there do not appear to be many such in Lawrenceville, where Archdcacon Russell has done such a wonderful work in his school, and made so many friends among his white fellow-citizens. That he should have been selected as one of the honorary pall-bearers and students of his school should sing at the funeral of Mr. Frank W. Davis, a prominent white citizen, shows that race prejudice is up against a hard proposition in Brunswick county and has got to fight to survive.

In his article on President Coolidge which appeared in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of December 19, Dean Miller, gave us the following true measurement of the President: "Mr. Coolidge is an average man." As an other distinguished American said of him self, he may be regarded as the most average man in America. He embodies the feeling and focuses the sense of the ordinary American. He is the mouthpiece of the common mind. Therefore, what he has to say expresses the normal attitude of the average white American on the Negro question. This attitude is one of kindly negativity. There is no affirmative purpose or intention. The brother in black, or rather the brother in color, will be treated with benevolent indifference." "Will be," does not express, the fact entirely.

Frank Munsey and Commercialized Journalism The death of Frank Andrews Munsey, the owner of the New York Sun, the Telegram, and several monthly publications, in New York, shows anew what a man of purpose and courage can accomplish with all of the odds against him. He went to New York from Maine in 1882, when 28 years old with $40 in his pocket. When he died at the age of 71, he had achieved national fame as a newspaper and magazine genius and amassed an estate valued at more than $20,000,000. He had a vision that he could succeed and he made the vision follow him will to success. It required preparation and courage, and these he had. He believed in consolidating newspapers and bought and sold newspapers in New York, Philadelphia and Boston, and spent a big fortune in doing so, but he gained more than he lost by his operations. Mr. Munsey was a Republican in politics but of the very independent sort. He believed in Theodore Roosevelt and supported him as the candidate of the Progressive party. He did not aspire to office-bolding, and had no need to. Mr. Munsey regarded newspapers as business propositions, and while being a journalist in a big way, and did an enormous amount of editorial writing, he always kept a sharp eye on the business side of his undertakings. That is to say, he was a dreamer but a practical one, and made his dream serve his commercial views. No newspaper can get far unless it is conducted with this sort of understanding. Afro-American journalists are growing in understanding of the newspaper business and shaping their policies to square with the principles that they are business propositions in which sentiment has no proper place.

Mr. Duke's Gift to Kittrell The schools of the Southern states, other than those of the public school system, were founded and have been supported for the most part by Northern philantropists and church denominations, in which our own churches have had a conspicuous part. Southern white persons have not contribute largely to the founding or support of these independent schools, although in a great many instances white persons in many localities have contributed to the support of such schools. It should not be forgotten that The schools of the Southern states, other than those of the public school system, were founded and have been supported for the most part by Northern philantropists and church denominations, in which our own churches have had a conspicuous part. Southern white persons have not contributed largely to the founding or support of these independent schools, although in a great many instances white persons in many localities have contributed to the support of such schools. It should not be forgotten that these schools also shared largely in the first philanthropy, that of the Peabody Fund, for their support. Mr. Peabody was a Southern man, if we remember correctly. While white Southerners have contributed in a local way very considerably to the support of the independent schools for our education in the Southern states, it remained for the Dukes of North Carolina to do so in a large way. J. B. and B. N. Duke have for a long time shown a sympathetic and helpful interest in our education and other welfare in North Carolina. It is highly possible that more Southern white persons would have contributed in a large way if the Civil War had not so impoverished the average of them. It has been only of recent years that Southern white persons have been in financial position to help others much, the Dukes themselves coming out of the wreck of the Civil war empty handed. The latest gift of Mr. B. N. Duke of $750,000 to Kittrell College, bringing his total gifts to that one school up to quite a million dollars, is not only very significant but very gratifying. The influence it will have on others will be of as much value as the money contribution. Dr. John R. Hawkins and Mr. John M. Avery stand out in a splendid way in securing these contributions. It shows that they have created a confidence in men such as Mr. Duke which is highly significant, lack of such men has been one of the prime reasons advanced by those controlling and sustaining our institutions for not trusting men of the race in the management of such schools, and the vast sums required for their upkeep. Dr. Washington was one of the first to inspire such confidence but we have not produced many such men as he, Dr. Hawkins and Mr. Avery. Kittrell is an African Methodist Episcopal school, and the gifts of Mr. Duke make it one of the strongest, financially, of the schools controlled by the race. All honor to such men as the late Mr. Penbody, Dr. J. L. M. Curry, Mr. J. B. Duke, and to Mr. B. N. Duke, Dr. J. H. Dillard, and other Southern white persons who have and are giving time and money and sympathy to the educational and other uplift interests of the Afro-American people.

Of course, Willie's mistake was in not organizing a stock company for poultry dealing, merging it with a dozen other stock companies, floating a series of bond issues and acquiring, one way and another, the equivalent of many thousands of chickens; or in not organizing a bank and using it for any private purposes he might wish; or in not doing any one of a score of things sanctioned by society and protected by legal advice.

From there it ran across the country from Cayor to Kidougou, from Diolof to Saloum; from Sine to Dumantang, from Podor to Kantan." So this story opens. How many of these places do you know, reader of Book Chat? I confess that after passing Dakar I knew none, and with the aid of two atlases and a recent large map of Rand McNally's could only locate Kantan. This I think is typical of our ignorance of the Dark Continent and makes these novels dealing with native life not only entertaining but instructive. Compared with Batonala this is a tame, insignificant book. It has nothing of the passion and splendor of imagery of that volume. But it gives a more attractive picture of the native, and there are bits here and there that show keen observation and deep sympathy. It is significant that it was written for the French public, and it is indicative of our present interest in all things Negro that it was translated. --MARY WHITE OYINGTON Free Negro Heads of Families in the United States in 1820, $5.00. Free Negro Owners of Slaves in the United States in 1830, $1.00. By Carter G. Woodson. The Associated Publishers, 1538 Ninth St. N.W., Washington, D.C. The aim of this work is to facilitate the further study of this neglected group. Most of the people of this country have forgot that about half a million, almost one seventh of the Negroes in this country, were free prior to the emancipation in 1865. The statistical report on FREE NEGRO HEADS OF FAMILIES is introduced by a valuable discussion of the free Negro from various points of view. The author therein ably discusses the origin of the free Negro, the prevention of the increase of this class, the free Negro before the law, economic achievement, and social distinctions. Probably the most interesting part of the treatise is the development of early race admixture as the origin of the free Negro. The study is will documented by references to incontrovertible sources which inspire confidence in the author's production and enhance the value of the work. The study of FREE NEGRO OWNERS OF SLAVES is of unusual interest because of the opportunity it offers for understanding the Negro himself. The records show, however, that the owners of slaves were such, largely from the point of view of philanthropy. In many instances the husband purchased the wife or vice versa. The slaves belonging to such families were few compared with the large numbers found among the whites on the well-developed plantations. Slaves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife. If he did not thereafter emancipate the mother, as so many husbands could not do without becoming separated from them, his own children were born his slaves and were thus reported by the enumerators. Some of these husbands were not anxious to liberate their wives immediately. They considered it advisable to put them on probation for a few years, and if they did not find them satisfactory they would sell their wives as other slave-holders disposed of Negroes. For example, a Negro shoemaker in Charleston, South Carolina, purchased his wife for $700; but, on finding her hard to please, he sold her a few months thereafter for $750, gaining $50 by the transaction. Having economic interest in common with the white slaveholders, the Negro owners of slaves often enjoyed the same social standing. It was not exceptional for them to attend the same church, or the same places of amusement. Under such circumstances miscegation easily followed. While those taking the census of 1830 did not generally record such facts, the few who did, as in the case of Nansemond county, Virginia, reported a situation which today would be considered alarming. In this particular county there appeared among the slaveholders free Negroes designated as Jacob of Read with white wife and Syph of Mathews and white wife. Others reported with white wives were not slave holders. Saturday, January 2, 1926 THE NEW NEGRO "The New Negro" is the title of a remarkable book by a remarkable man. This volume has just rolled from the press of A. and O. Boni, of New York City. Reviews in the New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, the Nation and the Crisis have already fallen under my notice. I feel safe in saying that no book on the race Reviews in the New York Times, the New York Herald-Tribune, the Nation and the Critic have already fallen under my notice. I feel safe in saying that no book on the race question has ever received such extravagant laudation from high literary authorities. Doctor Alaine Leroy Locke, Rhodes scholar, Harvard Doctor and Howard professor is the author, compiler and editor. The Negro And Art Dr. Locke looks to the portrayal of the Negro soul in artistic form as indicative of a renaissance in racial life and relationship. He boldly discounts the method of sociology, philanthropy and religion for the more subtle and potent influence of art. Dr. DuBois in his review of Dr. Locke's book, in the current issue of the Crisis, questions the validity of the authors' philosophy which attempts to divorce art from propaganda. But Dr. Locke rather agrees with Keats that beauty is its own excuse for being, and that art for art's sake has a greater pragmatic value than pragmatic preachments. I will not attempt to settle the disagreement between the learned doctors. I note however, that Shakespeare never preaches, he merely portrays. He holds the morrow up to nature, whereby men may see their reflections the path of truth and duty, and may walk therein, if they will. Curiously enough in this connection, one reads in the current issue of the Contemporary Review that the Russian intelligencia is undertaking to project the renaissance of Russian higher hope against the literary portrayal of Alexander Pushkin, the Negro Russian poet and novelist. It appears that he has, by the way of pure art, depicted the soul of the Russian people and pointed out their racial and national destiny and has thereby not the mark and high calling of the Slavic soul. The relation between literature and life is so inviting a theme; that I shall shortly return to it as special release. But I must reserve the remainder of my limited allotment of space to some important propositions in the volume now spread out before me. The New Negro What is the new Negro as compared or contrasted with the old? Let us first try to determine what is the Negro? Was he a soul that can be isolated and described in terms of its own quality and essence? We can only determine the soul through its manifestation. Its pure essence is so subtle and elusive that no attempt has yet succeeded in isolating or defining either the individual or the social soul. And yet we do know that races have certain psychics peculiarities which set them apart and differ entiate them from other races and peoples. We learn of the soul by what escapes from it. The Hebrew race turned its soul wrong side out, and gave the world the Bible, that all-sufficient store house of spiritual literature. The Negro poured out his spirituals from which we learn that it possesses high spiritual potential power. In another mood this same soul has given jazz to mankind. In still another mood, we have Negro wit and humor a never failing well bubbling with good nature and shrewd discernment. The soul stuff of the Negro is of the essence of the Christ Soul. It is slow to anger and plentious in mercy. It resists not evil, but overcometh evil with good. When it is reviled, it reviles not again. It hopeth all things, believeth all things, endureth all things. This Negro soul is modified somewhat by environment, diversities of condition and infusion of different bloods. But its basic quality persistent. Whether this type of soul is best suited for survival in an Anglo-Saxon environment is aside from the question. We are seeking definition, and not doctrine. I have laid down certain of the basic qualities of the Negro soul, whether old or new. The old Negro does the same. The diver- By KELLY MILLER Drawing his theme from Dr. Altaine Leroy Locke's new book, "The New Negro," Dr. Kelly Miller declares, "the nature and circumstances of the Negro race contain a wealth of cultural material which has scarcely been touched. The pathos, the tragedy, the joy, the sorrow which gather around this people," declares Dr. Miller, "when properly portrayed and adequately presented, according to the canons of art and style will make a powerful appeal to the imagination of mankind." Dr. Miller believes here is an attractive field for the educated men and women now passing through the schools and colleges. Confessing that there are thousands of white youth who would devote themselves to the development of this wealth of artistic material, he as acts that the races are now so widely separated in social means that it is almost impossible for them to attain a sympathetic meeting of the minds as to enable these white youths to give a normal and natural portrayal. sity of appearance is due to a unitary substance acting under varied stimuli. I am disposed to regard the difference of the old Negro and the new in the same light as an English bishop described the difference between the old and the new in religion. His analysis was, that which is new is not true and that which is true is not new. BUSINESS TALKS There is an opinion among the general investing public, that Preferred Stock is much safer than Common; this may or may not be. It is to be remembered, that a stockholder, even though a preferred one, is a partner in the enterprise, while at times, a preference may involve a little less risk, in event of re-organization or a business depression, as was experienced in 1920 and 1921. As preference or safety would not mean anything, preferred stock is issued today carries a cumulative clause, that is, should there occur a time when their fixed rate of dividend was not earned, it became a charge against the company, and would have to be paid before anything could be paid on the common. Some preferred stocks have voting privileges, and do some not; those that do not carry a voting privilege, have a clause to the effect that, should the management default four successive dividend periods, the preferred stock would assume control of the company's management, until such time as back dividends had been paid up. Preferred stock has its place in any financial policy; where the aim is the raising of a large sum of money, because it enables the management of the enterprise to reach a class of investors, that would not be interested in. Common Stock. Preferred Stocks are grouped mainly around four sets of conditions. First:—There are those conditions having to do with priority in dividends; Second:—There are those conditions having to do with the creation of securities, having an equal, or prior, lien on earnings; Third:—There are those conditions having to do with the distribution of assets in event of dissolution. It has been demonstrated, time and time again, that preferred stock does not offer the strength of a bond, neither does it possess the speculative possibilities of common stock. Financial pirates have bought control of many enterprises, through ownership of low-priced non-dividend paying common stock at bankrupt figures. By skilful financing, and the deferring of preferred dividends, earnings have been reinvested in the business, and after the enterprise had reached a very prosperous stage, the preferred stock was retired at a price fixed at the time of issue, leaving the ownership of a business, which had been made prosperous at the expense of the preferred stock. On the other hand, in event of receivership, which is usually followed by a re-organization, which many times, leads to a re-vamping of the capital structure of the business, the preferred and common are assessed alike. The Old Negro The old Negro in homage and ignorance and superstitution was as true or tanner to the genius of the race in the output of his spirit as his grandson with a Ph. D. who assays to express it in the refined and recondite form of literature and art. There is much caricature of the soul of black folk. We often see imputed to it the revenge, animosity and resentfulness of the Anglo-Saxon. Every Negro who is an artist is not a Negro artist, Pushkin and the Dumas, and Tanner were artists whose Negro blood was a meaningless incident. Dunbar was both a poet who was a Negro and a Negro poet. Dunbar has given us the Negro soul in its pure revelry where no white eye could see or ear could hear. On the other hand he has given us gems of pure poetry that will rank among the choice bits of literature for all times to come. He was properly called the Robbert Burns of America, in that he could inimitably delineate the life of his own people, and at the same time portray in refined English speech the working of the universal human heart. The first generation of educated Negroes tried to borrow the soul of their perceptors. They were mimics of their masters. They endeavored to feel, think and act as their models. They spoke as the white man would speak. Any differentiation in theme, mode or manner was considered bad for they even became ashamed of the jubilee music which up to this day is the chief cultural output of the race. As a result this generation was culturally sterile. Their literary effort consisted in feeble and uninteresting imitation. Miller and Lyle of Fisk produced "Runnin' Wild," which breaks so sharply with the traditions of their alma mater that it would run their former teachers wild. It was only when the Negro broke with his tutorial tradition that he could begin to express the soul of his race. The Negro Renaissance It is noticeable in the "New Negro that the first section whose creative productions constitutes what Dr. Locke calls "The Negro Renaissance." are not in the main college breed. But in the second part which deals with descriptive material, the authors are all but without exception men and women of collegiate degrees. The nature and circumstances of the Negro race contain a wealth of cultural material which has scarcely been touched. The pathos, the tragedy, the joy, the sorrow which gather around this people, when properly portrayed and adequately presented according to the canons of art and style will make a powerful appeal to the imagination of mankind. The field offers a most attractive opening for the educated men and women now passing through our schools and colleges. There are thousands of white youths who would gladly undertake the development of this wealth of artistic material, but the races are at present so widely separated in social areas that it is almost impossible for them to attain such a sympathetic meeting of the minds as to enable them to give a normal and natural portrayal. Such allen attempt is apt to result in a caricature or a conscious artifice which is death to art. Higher Education Our colleges are now turning out young men and women by the hundreds each year. The higher education must justify itself by more than the performance of assigned duty with requisite efficiency. We must look for work of creative imagination. If these works are forth coming in proportion to the boundless possibilities which are wrapped up in the situation it will doubtless make a better place for the race in the estimation of our white fellow citizens. After all has been said and done, art represents the highest values of life. The produces of art hold the first place in the esteem and appreciation of their fellowmen, and the race that produces artists along the various lines of culture will be enhanced in the eyes of mankind. The world likes people who can do things, but merely pities people who must have things done for them. The style of art used to illustrate the "New Negro" is significant and suggestive.
