XXVI No. 5 URHAM HAVE AM PROGRAM Enterprises Experi ing Past Year; Will in New Year, Inclu ting Girls and Club He OSSIBLE ERECTION HISTORIES TO N. C. the Durham (N. C.) Morning field, in its issue of January 1914, carried an inspirational as as true recital of the wonder- progress the colored citizens of city have made in the past 25 years through group thought and union, and told of the ambitious program upon which these people are embarked for the new year. The story as told in the Herald is printed below: In a recent address to the Dur- nary Negro Business League, Sec- cary Burke Hobgob, of the number of commerce, stated that a great difference, between the Negro of Durham and the Negro of any other cities is that the Negro of Durham is an asset rather than a liability to this community. It is a fact that Durham has set a pace in commercial and industrial development of the American Negro. For many years Durham has been blessed with having Negro leaders with a vision and the courage to bring it to a successful fulfillment. Ever since the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company was organized many years ago to eye the state have been on the Durham Negro, for the organization of the company was something new in the realm of the business. Since that time there has been steady progress in practically all directions. In building, the Negro is doing his part, in the conduct of business he is making success, and in public movements he is sharing his part of the burden and responsibility. The year of 1925 was a very successful and good one for the Negroes. From a business standpoint all of the big enterprise made good gains in business and thousands of dollars were brought to Durham by them. In public spiritness the members of the race have been showing the same loyalty and active interest that has been in evidence by the white people. Many new buildings were erected, both dwellings and businesses. During the year a largely development and offering to the members of that race excellent home sites, was put underway. In many other ways progress marked the past year. Nineteen twenty-six has started under even more auspicious conditions than last year and indications are that the new year will be a banner period of growth and expansion along all lines for the block man. An ambitions program of building has been mapped out for the year which includes the erection of a modern three-story hardy dormitory building for working girls, the possible addition of a story or two to the North Carolina Mutual insurance company, the erection of a modern home for nurses of Lincoln hospital has already begun, a club house for Negroes is assured, new school facilities will likely be added to the Negro schools, a home for the aged and infirm Negroes and an orphanage will be opened during the year, a big building program is being looked for during the year for the North Carolina college for Negroes, another building by the Roya's Knights of King David is considered. Many dwellings are on the program and there is a possibility that a Negro hotel will be created to care for the needs of the colored people in entertaining visitors. These and other things have places on the program for 1926. Among the agencies that are working towards the city's upholding, particularly for the Negro race, are several which are rated as among the strongest of their kind. The remainder of this sketch on what the black man has done and is doing will be devoted to several of the agencies and their growth. North Carolina Mutual The greatest asset to the city and to the entire country which has been contributed by Negro initiative is the North Carolina Mutual, the largest Negro life insurance company in the world. At the close of its 27th year of business the company had $41,000,000 insurance in force on its books and assets of $2,500,000. The income for the past year was more than $2,000,000 of which amount $710,000 came from rentals and interest on investments. The company has for several years occupied its seven-story home on Purrish street but the growth has been so rapid and so steady that the need of larger quatters is being felt. To give the desired relief, plans are now being (Continued on Page Twelve) Norfolk Journal and Guide "KRIP"SMILESAT WHY PEARY LIFE SENTENCE; TOOK HENSON TO GETS DONATION POLE EXPLAINED Active In Durham Business Group E. R. MERRICK, treasurer of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and a moving figure in Durham's Progressive enterprises. Sentenced To Four Years On Forgery Charge It seems that William Wyche had a penchant for obtaining money through forgery, but always confining his names to members of his family. His pro-activities, however, finally got him four years in the penitentiary, at least that is the sentence he drew in Corporation Court the other day. Wyche was charged with forging the name of his brother, John N Wyche, to a sale contract, obtaining a watch valued at $48.00 from a local jeweller, which he pawned for $8.00. Later he forged the name of his half-brother, Eddie Seabron, to another sales contract, obtaining a watch valued at $51.50. This watch was also alleged to have been pawned. It was recovered by Detectives Nowitzky and Manby who made the arrest. "KRIP"SMILESAT LIFE SENTENCE; GETS DONATION Slayer Takes Jury's Verdict Indifferently; Lawyers In Courtroom Take Up Collection To Buy Him Cigarettes Johnny Brown, alike "Krip," a paralytic whose shuffling form has been familiar on Church street, particularly around the Boston restaurant for years, will be seen dragging his paralyzed limb along that thoughtful noose, no more for many moons, if ever. For on Monday afternoon "Krip" drew from a jury in Corporation Court a life sentence in the penitentiary on a murder conviction growing out of the killing of Wadter Hopkins in the Boston restaurant November 21 last. But "Krip" took his sentence lightly. He visibly wished when the worlds "life in the penitentiary" were read to him. Maybe he had not expected fate to deal so kindly with him, for every witness for the prosecution had testified that he shot and killed Hopkins without provocation. Plead Self-Defense Self-defense was his plea however. He told the jury that he was in charge of the floor of the restaurant on the night of the shooting, and when he asked Hopkins to move out of the isle, the latter knocked him down and made a motion towards his pocket instead of moving. When he did that "Krip" declared he drew a GARVEY $10,000.00 TO PLAINTIFFS IN SUIT UPHELD WHY PEARY TOOK HENSON TO POLE EXPLAINED United States Circuit of Appeals Finds In Favor Of Mississippi Woman And Niece. DEFENDANT ASSESSED THE COURT COSTS New Orleans, La., Jan. 27—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has just affirmed a judgment of the United States District Court at Jackson, Miss., declaring the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company a nuisance and awarding damages to Mrs. Mary Ragland and her niece, Miss Mildred Ross, who were represented by Attorney S. D. Redmond. Suit Filed In 1923 The suit was filed in 1925. Mrs. Ragland and Miss Ross charged that the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company conducted its mill in such a manner as to cause lorge amounts of dust, lint and debris to fly from its mill over the home of Mrs. Ragland, which is directly in front of the mill. They charged that this dust, lint and debris had caused them much amnogance and worry for a long time and its inhalation had made them ill and impaired their health. The United States District Court at Jackson, Miss., rendered a judgment in favor of Mrs. Ragland and Miss Ross. The Buckeye Cotton Oil Company appealed to the United States Circuit Court here. The judgment of the lower court was affirmed. Total Amount $10,000 The total amount to be assessed against the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company will be more than $10,000. This will include damage as well as court costs. The company will be enjoined from operating its mill in such a way as to constitute a nuisance. The Buckeye Cotton Oil Company mill is probably the largest industrial plant in Jackson, Miss. They were represented by Attys, Watkins, Watkins and Eager and Demonm, Shohl and Sawyer, Attorney Redmond approved for Mrs. Railgan and Miss Ross in both courts. Captain Donald McMillian, famous Arctic Explorer, tells World Over Radio, Pole Conqueror Took Fittest Man. Captain Donald McMillian, famous Arctic Explorer, broadcasting from WJAZ, the Zenith Radio Station, Straus building, Chicago, Thursday evening, January 21, his lecture showing how Rear Admiral Robt. E. Peary reached the North Pole in April 1909, says: "Admiral Peary has been criticized for not taking a white man with him to the Pole, but taking instead, two Eskimos and the colored man, Matt Hesson. "During Peary's 18 years effort to reach the Pole, Matt Hesson accompanied him on every expedition. He is one of the best dog team drivers in the world today. Was Best Man In Party "Some of our men, dog teams and sledges of food, were dropped every twenty-five miles to constitute supply stations for Peary's return trip from the Pole. I went with the expedition to a point within 150 miles of the Pole, and when it was found that supplies could be taken for only two men besides the Eskimos in their last lap to the Pole, Peary made the decision and picked the fittest man. There is no other answer to it. Matt Henson was his choice, because he was the best man in the party. Admiral Peary showed no racial (Continued on Page Three) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1926 Freak Intolerance Bills Before The Virginia General Assembly A bill designed to strengthen the as wish to do this, also was introracial integrity or miscegenation, duced.

Will Urge The Passage Of Legislation Affecting The Islands; May Appear Before Insular Affairs Committee (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 27—A delegation is here from the Virgin Islands to urge upon Congress the passage of legislation affecting these isl and s. which the United States purchased from Denmark in 1917. The delegation consists of D. Hamilton Jackson, an attorney and member of the Colonial Council of St. Croix; H. Berg, also a member of the Colonial Council of St. Croix, and J. Hestes, a member of the Colonial Council of St. Thomas and St. John. Will Appear Before Congress They will very likely appear before the House Committee on Insular Affairs and urge the passage of the bill to give the Virgin Islands a permanent form of government. The Naval appropriations bill, which is under consideration by the Congress, carries an item appropriating the sum of $828,000 for the temporary government of the Virgin Islands. It is provided, however, that no part of this sum shall be paid to anyone holding office in the Colonial Council of the Virgin Islands or other public office under the government of these islands, who owes allegiance to any other country than the United States. After the purchase of the Virgin Islands, the inhabitants were given the opportunity of retaining their allegiance to the Danish government. Frank Smith May Survive Wound of McGowan's Pistol Reports from St. Vincent's Hospital Wednesday afternoon stated that Fank Smith who was shot and critically wounded by John McGowan, pool-room proprietor at 112 Church street, and a prominent figure in the sporting world, Saturday night about 8 o'clock, was getting along fairly well. McGowan shot Smith in front of his pool.com, following an argument, it is said, caused by Smith's attempt to raise a tough house in McGowan's place of business. Smith is allegent to have had a knife in his possession when shot by McGowan, who it is claimed, followed him down the steps, and to the door before firing on him. The bullet took effect in Smith's abdomen. The trouble started on the second floor, which is also rented by McGowan. The shooting at that, one of the busiest hours of the night, when the street was thronged with marketers, created considerable excitement in the neighborhood. McGowan was placed under arrest by Detectives Nowit-ky and Manby and charged with felonious shooting. He was later released on $5,000 bond furnished by three friends who put up valuable real estate. When arranged in Police Court Monday morning, preliminary hearing was continued to February 5. Smith was a frequenter of McGowan's place and the shooting came as a shock to those who know both men. law, also was introduced in the assembly last week. It provides that if the clerk or deputy clerk of a court has reason to believe that statements of applicants for marriage licenses are not true as to color or racial composition of the applicants, license may be withdrawn until the applicants shall have produced from competent authorities the certificates of their registration as to the matters in question. A joint resolution, bearing all the car-marks of an Anglo-Saxon Club' product, and undoubtedly having a close connection with the Carvey movement, which has enjoyed the endorsement of the clubs, memorializing Congress' to make provisions for colonization outside the borders of the United States of such members of the colored race as wish to do this, also was introduced. JUSTICE AGENTS PROBE ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION Group Of Birmingham Women Intimidated and Threatened When They Attempt To Qualify To Vote. (Speech) In The Journal and Guide) Birmingham, Ala.—Allied attempts to disqualify, and through intimidation keep away from the polls intelligent colored citizens of this city, were brought to a head Tuesday of last week, when County Registrar L. K. Howen called a deputy sheriff and had Mrs. Indiana Little arrested when she presented herself at his office to qualify to vote in the coming elections. Mrs. Little is an intelligent colored woman, a welfare worker and the head of a civic organization charges of vagrancy were preferred against her by the Registrar. Declined To Register Her Mrs. Little said Bowen told her Negroes would not be registered unless they submitted to an "intelligence test," of which he was to be the sole judge. One of the group, a teacher in a college, went from Bowen's office to the Federal Building and protested. An hour later Department of Justice Agents called on Bowen and demanded access to his records. They agents say they are investigating on the theory that Bingham Negroes are being denied their rights under the Fourteenth Amendment through a conspiracy of klan lead and county officials. Probe Started Special agents of the department have come here from Washington to take charge of the investigation already started. Mr. Little city Bowen told him he had better keep Negroes out of his office until the registration lists close." After being arrested on the vagrancy charge, she said she was struck in the warden's office and roughly handled at that place. She was placed in jail and later released on $200 bond. Mr. Bowen, registration officer, made the statement that the women filled out papers required by law but they had not yet been posted on. "I have and more recently from Negroes to be registered than in years. I give them the proper papers and let them fill them out. I cannot register them until they are graded by the board of registrars. When they can qualify they are of course registered. The woman this morning seemed to think that I was trying to keep her from registering. A matter of fact, there are a number of Negro voters in Jefferson county who have complied with the law. Every Negro or white man who seeks to register must do the same." Writ Of Error Stays Execution Richmond, Va.—The Supreme Court of Appeal granted a writ of error to John Wood, 18-year old youth, who was to die in the electric chair in the state penitentiary Friday of this week for an alleged attempted assault upon a young white woman school teacher from Kirk George county while she was attending summer school at the University of Virginia. This automatically stays execution until the appeal court can review the case. FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS EARLY P PARK IS Buys Eastern Headquarters PUBLIC PARK PROPOSAL IS TO THE FRONT Councilman Stands Pat On Idea That Race Is Next To Be Considered In Matter of Recreational Facilities. BELIEVES THIS IS A PARAMOUNT NEED The proposal for public recreational facilities for the colored people of Norfolk which has been before each succeeding city administration for a number of years, has a stammer friend, Councilman E. Jeff. Robertson, who made it plain Monday afternoon that he felt that the city should not go a step further in the establishment of public parks until a park has been provided for the colored citizens. Heads Park Committee Councilman Robertson is chairman of the park committee of the Council. He declared that at the present time public recreational facilities for the colored people is of paramount importance, and should be given consideration before steps are taken looking to the development of other park facilities. Mr. Robertson's committee had conferred on Monday morning with the City Planning Commission on the latter's plan for providing additional school playground and park facilities in Larchmont, in this connection Mr. Robertson said: "I believe that the proposal to buy a tract of land near the Larchmont school for a park in that section and for additional grounds for the school is a good plan," Mr. Robertson said, "but I also believe that before we make any further plans for parks and playgrounds we should take steps to provide a recreation center for the colored people. I think that is of paramount importance, and is a matter to which the council should give its attention immediately." Purpose of New Tract The City Planning Commission, with the school board concurring, has recommended that the city buy 23.6 acres of land across the street car line from the present Larchmont school to provide the site for a junior high school, to give additional room for the elementary school, and to leave about 10 acres for a public park. Mr. Robertson and Mr. Martin discussed the proposal in detail with the commission yesterday, and both agreed that the plan was a proper one. "I would be ready to recommend it," Councilman Martin said, but Mr. Robertson stated that he believed the colored park which has been under consideration by the council for a year or more; was paramount and, in his opinion, should be given first place in any our identification of the acquisition of new park facilities. "I think the time has come," Mr. Robertson said, "when we will have to lay down a definite policy with regard to parks, and will have to abandon the haplazed method of travelling the park situation."

GetsFive Years For Casting Lye In Man's Face (Special to Journal bud Guide) Petersburg, Va.—Josephine Harris, tried here in Corporation Court this week on a charge of malicious mainning, growing out of her throwing lye in the face of Audrey Murray, was convicted and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Josephine made no denial of throwing the lye but based her plea upon self-defense. Evidence in the case was adduced to the effect that she was attacked by Murray who started to beat her with a stick and after which she throw lye in his face as a matter of self-defense. She charged that Murray was drunk at the time. The prosecution maintained that the lye throwing was not justified by any sense of bodily harm, introduced evidence of prior alleged battles which the woman had accepted. Attention was also called to testimony that the pair had lived together for some time, and that Murray bore all the expenses of the household, having a right on the premises. He has lost the sight of one eye and his face is badly burned as a result of the strong caustic which was thrown at him. STATE OF MAINE HAS A BRUTAL LYNCHING--BUT? Victim Hung To Tree And Allowed To Strangle To Death. Country-Side Scoured For Perpetrators of Deed. (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Dexter, Me.-Citizens of Penobscot county are enraged over a lynching that occurred here in this站 New England town recently.

The perpetrators of the outrage are unknown, but the Humane Officer, Charles H. Fish of Dexter, is putting forth every effort to unearth evidence that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the lynch- Victim Lured It is believed that two men lured the victim to an unfrequented section of the Ripley路 one mile from Dexter. One of them fashioned a hangman's mose and fitted it like a collar on the victim's neck. They bent low one of the young maple trees which abounded in the neighborhood and tied the loosest end of the stout rope to the top of the tree. Then they stepped back and allowed the tree to snap into its erect position, straining under the weight of the victim.

C., Jan. 27—The five year sentence, which Marcus Garvey, self-styled "provisional president of Africa," is serving in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., may be commuted. Political pressure is being applied to bring about his release. His case is being studied by Department of Justice officials with a view to making a recommendation to the President. Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, admitted that he had talked with Justice Department officials recently in regard to the case. He stated that he had advised the commutation of Garvey's sentence. May Be Deported In the event that Garvey is released, it is thought that he will be deported immediately. He is a British subject. He came to the United States from the West Indies but never completed his naturalization in this country. A warrant for his deportation will await his release from the penitentiary. Garvey was convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of worthless stock in the Black Star Lim. Inc., a corporation having for its purpose the acquisition and operation of steam-ships, which were to transport to Africa followers of Garvey and material to build an African empire. GRIM TRAGEDY STALKS OUT OF MERRY MAKING Titustown "Shake" Breaks Up With One Major And Several Minor Casualties As Participant Shoots. While the player piatto grounded out jazz melodies to the tune of "Red Hot Mamu" and a number of guests made merry at a "shake" in the home of Mrs. Anna Roberts, 7 Pratt street, Titustown, Friday night, one of the guests, Willie Williams, who had taken the pains to bring along his shooting arms, turned the merry-making into grim tragedy by shooting four of the members of the party, including the hostess, who died from her mortal wounds in St. Vincent's Hospital. Willia mims fired five times in the crowd of guests, every one of the bullets taking effect, two in the abdomen of Mrs. Roberts, and the others hitting as many guests. Detectives Nowitzky and Bray, who went from headquarters to investigate the affair, learned that when Williams, apparently, playfully displayed his gun in the house, the hostess remonstrated with him for having brought it with him. He then backed to the door, and began firing. The four victims dropped to the floor and by the time the gun had ceased to fire and the smoke had somewhat cleared all of the guests had passed out of the house through the windows and rear door. A few of them returned later to the scene of battle to determine what damage had been done, but others had gone for the night. it was said.

ADOPTS NEW METHOD; LOCAL CAGING LEAGUE TO OPEN Richmond, Va., Jan. 28—The Panther Five representing the Va. Union University defeated St. Paul 30-25 in a hotly-contested floor clash last Saturday night, making their third straight win on their C. I. A. A. schedule of games. It will be remembered that both Shaw University and Va. Normal fell before the shooting and passing combination of the Union basketteers. The lightweight quintet started off, Saturday night against the St. Paul "6" with Winfrey and 'Chink' Smith doing clever work at forwards, Scott holding down the pivot job and Washington shooting well from the guard position, ably supported by N. Smith. Amos, Robinson and Pierce were at their best for the visitors. The score at the end of the first half was 17-16, in favor of V. Union. The Panther "Big V" were injected at the beginning of the second half, composed of Ballard and Brown, forwards, Gardner, center, and C. Williams and W. Jackson, guards. St. Paul. retaining the same, five, presented a good fiveman defense, but the last period saw the Union machine pulling ahead of the Lawrenceville hockeyers and winning by a score of 30-25. SC.

The game was replete with thrills. The shooting of both teams was very erratic. With the exception of Archer the varsity squad of Morehouse started the game. M. Sykes, the All-American forward was in real form and displayed fast dribbling and spectacular shooting. Dobbs also contributed to the victory with two long shots and with speedy guarding. Archer was sent in the last few minutes of the first half to replace Bailey. Couch Harvey started his second string men in the last half and they made a credible showing. L. Taylor starring for the subs. Ward of Morris Brown was a thorn in the defense of Morehouse. Several times he broke through and rang baskets in sensational fashion. Roberts the young forward played a good game. Eastern fans and critics are on an edge concerning the game between Morehouse and Hampton, champions of the C. I. A. A., here on February 10th.

APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO MAKE ALL-STAR SELECTIONS Some More About Gus Moore The now familiar name of Gus Moore has already colored newspaper headlines this tan with news of his sensational victories in cross-country runs and one-mile races. One need not name his successive wins in the over-land route this fall where he turned back the best schoolboys that New York had to offer; one need not reiterate the accounts of his breaking P. S. A. L. indoor and outdoor mile records during the last few weeks to prove that Gus is one of the greatest schoolboy runners that ever pierced a cinder path. Moore rose almost abruptly to national fame. His first victory came several years ago when he unexpectedly capped the cross-country run by Boys High School of Brooklyn. Still a "dark horse," he unstopped, Moore entered the Corvell meet in 1924 and sped on to a second place in the mile for high school lads—second only to Nicoleads, then recognized among the greatest in the country. But Gus soon left ranks of the second-raters and contented himself only with five places. Week after work he still lied on to wider fame, collecting a sting of victories, and leaving a set of records for youngsters in preparations to come to strike at him. Before the fall track season had begun, Gus had assembled some elegance medals two loving cups, and had won for his school a beautiful 3156 trophy all since the spring of 1925. He holds six championship titles, not counting some five or six won since the opening of the past autumn season, and has come within 3 seconds of the world's high school mile record set by Cox in Chicago. This is part of the story which years from now proud parents will tell their children by the glowing fireside of the great and invincible Negro runner. Gus Moore, now of Boy's High School of Brooklyn. The Reward of Service Attention is called to another warrior of the forgotten gridiron who deserves a medal and three service stripes besides for his faithful services to his Alma Mater, Tynes, tackle at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, is the un crowned, perservering hero who for three years has played consistent football. He has never been relieved by a substitute and has started every game during that time. Playing on the average of eight games a season at sixteen minutes BY CHAS. H. WILLIAMS (Sec-Treas. C. I. A. A.) Hampton, Va., Jan 28—The executive committee of the C. L. A. A. met at Petersburg Saturday, January 23, to work out the program for the coming year. Several new departures were introduced which it is thought will aid in the development of athletics in the institutions. The most important progressive step was the making out of the 1923 football schedule and the assigning of officials for all the games for the year. This will enable officials to know where they are to serve and prevent last-minute calls or attempts to decide upon them which oftimes proved unsatisfactory. Adopts New Method The Association is adopting a new method of selecting the all-star teams for 1926. Instead of having the coaches submit their selections a committee of five consisting of two sport writers and three other men to serve as affiliated will be asked to pick the all-star team for 1926, thus relieving the coaches. The men asked to serve on this committee are: Mr. Willey A. Johnson jr., of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, chairman; Mr. Garland Mackey of the Afro-American, Baltimore; Mr. L. U. Gibson, Baltimore; Dr. S. F. Coppage, Norfolk and Mr. R. E. Clement of Livingstone College. The Association accepts the offer of Dr. James B. Darden of Petersburg, Va., to give a trophy to the most valuable player to his team in 1926. Dr. Darden's Letter Petersburg, Va. January 15, 1926 Mr. Thomas L. Puryear, President C. I. A. A.

I am of the opinion that the work being done by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association stands head and shoulder above anything of its kind being done in the country for our racial group. It is my conviction that the athletics representing the various institutions of the Association should be encour- per game, Tynes hopes to contribute thirty-two bouns of actual competition during his college career. But what's the use? Amateur of Professionals? In a discussion a few days ago with some amateur stock brokers and business men, we found out one fundamental thing: It doesn't pay. This form of vocation is not advocated for beginners or would-be rich aspirants. It shows why so many turn professional. Red Greange may be accreted the justical working business man to fire.

There have been no inter-collegiate swimming meets, no college boat races, that we have been able to account for in the annuals. There are several reasons to account for this. One is that there is lack of interest as well as a lack of equipment. Very few schools have swimming pools, not to speak of racing skulls. But just being will find one exception to the rule down on the glazing outlets of old Hampton Roads. The Hampton Athletic Association has plans to endward for several skillets to be knocked next spring. A competition will be limited at first to merely interclass, but other schools follow it up lead, we may look forward to seeing regattas of our own and of a class nature. Another Forgotten Legend According to W. O. McMeGee-Ghan, Jack Dempsey, world's "compilatory" heavyweight champion writes the following for the French press: "When I shall fight, against the Negro, Harry Wills, my people will hope to see my rival win, despite their horror of Negroes." Wherecat one disappointed customer opined, "Know any more good jokes, Jack?" to the highest possible degree. To approximate this kind of our To stimulate this kind of endeavor I desire to offer in competition a trophy. This trophy is to be awarded to the football player voted the most valuable to his team. The trophy is to become the personal property of the player to whom it is awarded by the committee appointed by the C. I. A. A. It seems to me that in some way as I have here indicated we will get better results on our athletics. You will please advise me if the C. I. A. A. approves this suggestion. Very T. V. You.

HUBBARD'S REVIEW T HUBBARD King Title Holder DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW Now she will play no Cincy teams until she is reimbursed for the amount she had to pay-under contract. Try to beat that. It looks like Harry Wills is being shoved aside as regards a match with the champion. If Wills ever gets a championship fight he will be too old to carry out his old. His case is even more pathetic than that of Sam Langford a number of years ago. Worth Retelling Knute Rockeine tells one on a couple of Negro sandwiches football teams. These teams were engaging in mighty combat. Neither side could score. One of the teams was using signals that ran way up into the thousands. 944, 876, 109, 743, 2, 938, 465, were some of the plays. Finally in the fourth quarter this team called time out and their star player strutted on the field. He was about 6 ft. 4, and weight over 200 pounds. The cheering was thunderous. "One million 342 thousand, 642," came the signal. The interference moved to the right. The star grabbed the ball, and in two or three giant: strides overtook his other backs, passed them, looked over his shoulder, and yelled, in giant basso. "Interference—Follow Me." Which is as bad as the tale of the soldier who was caught running away from battle. "Say, what are you running for, fellow?" asked the captain. "Because I can't fly, Captain." MAJOR LEAGUES ISSUE EDICTS Coming on the heels of the big intersectional baseball pow wow held in Philadelphia, the club owners in both circuits are already making preparations for the coming season. Closer relations between the two leagues will be established and similar playing conditions will exist East and West. For several seasons the players of the Western circuit have been signing uniform league contracts and this year the Eastern league has fallen in line. To further put "teeth" in the works the baseball solos have adopted a rule whereby any player jumping his heels on a league club in the East or West will incur a five year suspension from organized ball. LEAGUE WILL DEVELOP ITS OWN OFFICIALS The Executive Board of the Journal and Guide basketball league took initial steps at its last regular meeting to meet the demands of providing the league and Notfolk with basketball officials. The board has set a precedence, inasmuch as no other group has done anything in trying to develop officials for any branch of athletic sports in this locality. It is believed that great material advantage will be derived from the initiative taken by those who run the affairs of the newly formed athletic loop. In forming the basketball league, the first thing that confronted the organization was the scarcity of those who knew the game well enough to become arbiters. The sending out of town for officials would entail heavy expenses, and in view of these facts, ways and means by which to surmount the obstacles were discussed. The first games of the Journal and Guide Bask, thall League are scheduled to get underway Friday night. January 29, at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden, in which the Basket Washington quint will face the Community Flashy Five and the Collegians will do battle with the Norfolk Athletic Club. Each team is determined to chalk up a win in the first games of the series, which might have much waggt in the trophy race. All four of the squads are coming around fast in the workouts and the nucleus the fives are being built around is showing to good advantage. The Community Five has a two game advantage over the rest of the teams and ought to show well in the game with the Fighting Backers. Community downed the Chick Suggs Tex Rickard has placed Chick Suggs first in his rating of the kantamweight fighters. He places the champion Yildir on the list. This is quite a tribute to Suggs. The sporting world has long been aware of the fact that Suggs is the best of the kantamweights, and this rating of Rickard's only makes the fact more evident. All that remains is the light with Rosenberg to make the rating official Someone has suggested a tournament of the leading college basketball teams to determine the national champions. While we are about it, why not a tournament to determine the national pro champions, and the national amateur champions among the amateur teams. We are glad to see the Courier sponsoring a Girl's Basketball League. A few more such leagues might be of benefit to our group. Wilberforce University has a new stunt. A few years ago a Cincinnati basketball team insisted on Wilberforce fulfilling a contract for a game at the Force. Because of this the Ohio school broke off relations with all Cincinnati teams.

JOHNSON, JR Another Jamboree The metropolitan dailies have gone on another sportive jamboree and are giving the much ballyhooed Dampsey-Wills-Tunney light photos of space. Some time back, talks on the above mentioned flights were relegated to some remote corner of the sport sheet, but now, they are played up with glaring headlines. There are one or two things that the cause can be attributed to. The thing might come off is one and the other is, Ye Spo. Editors have little or no other copy and they wish to keep up to their standard of so many sport sheets per diem. Surely, Dempsey's continued inactivity is of no interest to no one but himself. Of course, there are a number of promoters and would be promoters who would, just love to get Dempsey in the ring. They are only interested, because of the fact, that it means money to them. So far as Dempsey, himself is concerned, they don't care if he remains idle the rest of his lifeide Playing With Fire Reports are to the effect that Tex Richard is dickering for a Dempsey-Tunney affair. Learning this, the New York State Boxing Commission looks upon such actions with very much disfavor. At the same time, Rickard is assuming some of the air that caused Jack Kearns, former manager of Dempsey, to lose much prestige with the solons. Rickard is credited with saying something to the effect that he is free to arrange to work to suit himself, meaning that he can arrange a Dempsey-Tunney fight or any other fight for that matter, in his Boyle's Thirty Acts in Jersey of elsewhere. Whether the promoter is playing with fire is a matter of conjecture. Politics works wonder sometimes. Men of money and power, who are on the inside, usually beams and mould matters to fit their scheme of things. Whether Rickard is of these nouns, adjective and verbs is also a matter of conjecture. You can't always tell. These boxing commissioners do not seem to have any set system folk, it is necessarily true that officials are only in the budding; Believing that the league will grow and that the sport as a whole will advance, it was reasonable to believe that officials would develop and in order to help toward this end, the Executive Committee is giving those, who have possibilities of becoming officials, a chance to grow and develop with the league and with the sport. There are young men here who have played the court game in some of the colleges and have made a close study of the game, and would make good officials, if given a chance. Among the four teams in the league, each quint, has two or more men who know the game well enough to serve in an official capacity. As a result the following men were named as officials: E. H. Smith and Willey A. Johnson jr., Norfolk Athletic Club; William Golden and Layton, Collegians; Horace Smith and Jos. E. Williams, Community Five; O. A. Wilson, Auburn Bibbles and Galloway, Booker Washington. All of these officials will alternate in the games played in the league and the work will be equally distributed among them. They are also instructed to hold weekly confabs to thresh out most questions of the rules, to discuss and interpret, and to fully acquaint themselves with all phases of the game. GEORGIA FIVE BEATS CUYLER The Cuyler High School "All-Stars" of Savannah proved to be no match for St. Athanasius "Lightning Five" last Saturday afternoon in Brunswick. The visitors were visibly bewildered throughout the first half by the side-stepping, dodging, ducking, passing, guarding, and following up the ball by the Brunswick basketeers who averaged one goal each and one half-minutes of play. Living up to the name of the "Lightning Five" of St. Athanasius, the team rang up two goals in two passes direct from center in less than one minute after the first toss of the ball. From that time on, though Cuyler fought hard and valiantly, the game was painfully one-sided except for a few time the Savannah Quintet was able to take advantage of an opening and get together for a score. The score stood at the mid-rest period: St. Athanasius 22, Cuyler 6. St. Athanasius second team replaced her "Lightning Five" thru-ort the last half. This proved more interesting to the spectators for the two quintets now showed up to be more evenly matched. The scores made during the second half: St. Athanasius second team, 26; Cuyler, 20. The final score of the game stood. St. Athanasius' 58, Cuyler 26. Enrollment in four summer high schools and thirteen elementary schools of Philadelphia, Pa., increased in three years from 8,000 of conducting fistic affairs in the metrogre. First, the commission was to take action on the challenge of Tiger Flowers to Paul Berlenbach in lieu of the claims of McTigue to a return engagement with the light-heavy-weight title holder. But now, despite the fact that McTigue did not make a favorable impression against the Georgia Deacon, the Commish say Berlenbach must fight McTigue before he takes on anybody else, due to the fact that he owes the Irishman a return go. That's neither here nor there, nor anywhere else for that matter. Of course it is true that the victor is a boxing match owes the defeated a return fight—under some circumstances. The most pre-eminent of the circumstances is, providing the defeated works his way back to show that he is worthy of another chance; and another one might be added, provided the defeated lost by such a close shave that picking a winner was a matter of guess work. Paulie's victory over McTigg was no matter of guess work neither has the former chair, Jon showed that he fully and justly deserves another go, especially after his failure to show to any advantage against Flowers, a middle-weight. There is no wonder that the commission cannot make any of that big fellows do anything. They have a system of doing business that certainly isn't beyond reproach. --- The only toable football players have is trying to learn the game of basketball is, they often forget and grab the ball for a lengthy dash down the court. A basketball game in which football stars are trying to learn the game is really a lively affair. An aviator's life is a tame thing in comparison to a game of that kind. A team composed entirely of football players started off a play which they call the five man defense. Instead, it was the four men interference.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 22—Com- mitting a brilliancy of individual play with a coordinated, super- hitly smooth system of team play, the Baltimore Athenians, fries from decisive victories over the Strelton, Pa. Cyrene Elise and the Pittsburgh Courier Big Five, con- tinued their string of consecutive victories on their first. Western tour by combusively turning back the famous Columbus Hi-Yi Club here tonight in the Spring St. "Y" gymnasium by the count of 30 to 15. Playing before the largest crowd of the current season, the two teams fought actually on even terms for only the first few minutes of the game and for occasional instances throughout the game. The Athletics' lanky center, Keller, got the first tap-off, but keys of the H-Y broke through intercepted the hall, and pointed from midcourt. The crowds went wild, though this was not the only time the GuardKeys sneaked past the Guarders for points. The local logs were playing with a vim and viper, guarding well, especially keys, and the loyal supporters of the H-Y Club that made such a wonderful showing last season and that had not tasted defeat before tonight, demonstrated that they wanted a victory over the powerful Baltimore combination. They helped they could get it too. But training by 2 to 0 did not upset the Athletics. Playing with perfect ease and poise, guarding splendidly, and gradually finding their way past the defenders, the team soon began their march of victory. On an ex-team of passing not seen on the "V" court before this season, the "Greeks" flashed down the floor and decided to allow "Hilly" Baskerville to the scoring act. He did, with a fine shot, and imitated, followed with a count 4-2. The Athletics were never headed, but gradually increased their lead to a comfort- The judgment and accuracy of the visitors were marvelous. Their smoothness in play, their handling of the ball, their scoring and clean, hard fighting every minute was a regulation and won the Athletics magic admirers here. "Doc" Harris, manager of the visitors, did not play, but announced on the 2nd and Willerfire on the next week's next opponents. Baskerville was high scorer with 11 points. Brown next with 9, Keller and Polees next with 4 apiece, and Wheatley counted for 2 for the winners. Keys got 6 for Hi-Y, Shearer 4, Phillips and Black 2 each, and Daughtery 2.

Jan 22—The local gym was filled to its capacity last Saturday to see Coach Press and two rebounded chants of Cliffin University upon its basketball season by defeating Wilson Hi of Florence, their opponent of old with a score of 21-5. The game began first with the ball hovering around Cliffin's basket then their opponent's. Broman of Florence, however, was able to make the first score. Motte, the speed forward of Cliffin, immediately caged one for the Orange and Maroon which was quickly followed by a successful throw by Gordon and before the end of the first quarter, Clifton led with a score of 10-2. In the second quarter Florence seemed to beat his best. During this quarter she was able to cage one from the field and to prevent Clifton forward from making more than two baskets. The second half was featured by several successful shots by Motte from seemingly impossible angles and distances and the air-tight guarding that the locals performed. Wilson Hi completed her score with the aid of a free throw.

MORGAN TAKES HOWARD FIVE MORGAN TAKES HOWARD FIVE Washington, D. C.-The Morgan College Five invaded the territory of the Howard University tossers Saturday, January 23, and showed a wonderful brand of basketball. With three of the dependable "four horsesmen" in the game the Baltimore boys proved to be too much for the cohorts of the Capital City. The game was far from the start with all kind of thrills but as the final whistle blew, Morgan was on the long end of a 32-23 score. To Howard she credited the first score of the tilt but the "lanky" center for the visitors came look immediately to make a pair of two pointers and the lead which Howard was never able to overtake. Everything that Howard merited Morgan did it a little better. Morgan excelled Coach Burr's boys in all passes of the game. Lanky Jones a center played well. He surpassed all expectations. The Howard men were off on their shots and at times seemed to show signs of catching up, but in no way could they seem to get the necessary amount of points to take the offensive. Coach Burr evidently stirred them up between halves and they came back with a jump to overcome a five point lead with when the half ended. Two baskets for Howard at the beginning brought things up to a 17-16 stand, but Morgan again to show its superiority got together and regained its lead.

State College drew first blood with two field goals. The lead was held by the home team until near the end of the first half when Shipp, Paine's fast form, got free and caged a field goal which caused the half to end in Paine's favor, 14-13. In the second half, State's girls came with the fire to win. They met the start by shooting two baskets, putting them in the lead. Soon State had a seven point lead, and after this everything was easy for them. Passing and field goals were made almost without opposition, and when the game ended, Paine had lost by a score of 32-22.

THEATRICALS SCREEN-STAGE ATTUCKS THEATRE Who are the best people and where will they be found? Are they among the elite, or are they to be found among princes, paupers or proletarians? The best answer to this will be shown at the Attucks theatre Monday and Tuesday of next week in a Sidney Ocott production, "The Best People" a Paramount picture. "The Best People" asks and answers the question, "Who are the best people, and does it without asking apologies. The picture portrays a rich New York family (considered among the best people), because the good for nothing person wants to many a chorus and apperception mother wants to marry theauffreuse. The father starts an angry investigation—but you better see it. It finally ends with the millionaire family, or rather the mother and father kneeling before the chorus girl and chauffeing them to marry their children. It is a serious comedy-drama with a lesson. MEET THE KING How a real king would act outside of the domains of his kingdom, among real folks, many would like to know. Adolphe Ménouj portrays this in a Monta Bell production, "The King On Main Street." The picture is a romantic comedy with a background and setting that will bring out laughs. Ménouj is a bored king. This is revealed as he winks at one of his soldiers as the calvary passes before him in review. Being informed by his ministers that the country is near a collapse unless they secured a loan through an finance leases in America, the king decides the latter, and here is the fun really begins. Fifth Avenue became a Paris boulevard for an hour recently, while Monta Bell directed the filming of scenes for "The King on Main Street" for Paramount. Policemen stopped all traffic of buses and American automobiles, and the quaint little taxis of Paris scuttled along instead bearing dapper French men and their madamoiselles while a French population peopled the pavement instead of the usual Fifth avenue pedestrians. The King on Main Street," which will be shown at the Attucks Theatre on Monday and Tuesday is an adaptation of Leo Ditchiestein's New York Stag: "hit "The King." Douglas Doty wrote the screen play. Joseph Kilgoar, Edgar Norton and Mario Majeroni also have important supporting roles. OTHER FEATURES Other features on the Attucks bill for next week are, the special Wednesday stunt night, in which something new is always presented and the special picture for the kiddies on Saturday at matinee, at which time free candy is given away. The special stunt night on Wed., always carries a special picture. The comforts of the Attucks are unsurpassed. Performances may be seen with all the comforts of your own fireside. AT THE WELLS The Indians have taken the warpath again. A grim host of 2500 Navajos, stripped bare with the exception of tight skin cups, breech cloths and moccasins, their lean bodies blackened with the charcoal from lightning struck trees, charged across the hot floor of the Painted Desert on lean Navajos ponies. Shrill, blood chilling cries escaped the thin lips of the riders as they swept onward, paying scant attention to their saddlebags, horses and occupying themselves almost wholly with their hide shields, long spears and bows and arrows. Forgotten was the fact that the Navajos gave up war forever nearly sixty years ago; forgister was the fact that they were reproducing a battle against the whites in NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE RILY ON EST Leal Leal ke's flashy five. Reading from left Cooper. RICALS STAGE might capture the scene to be used with hundreds of the other scenes that go to make up the Paramount screen version of Zane Greys' epic of the American Indian, "The Vanishing American," coming to the Wells Theatre; next week. World War Scenes The rumble of the World War was heard once more when Director George B. Seitz reached that part of the filming of the "T h e Vanishing American," Zane Grey's epic of the American Indian, which includes the adventures of the heto in France during 1918. Thousands of men participated in the movie's seven scenes at the Monterey, Californi- in, where four batteries of French 74's were called into service. This particular part of the story sets forth the part played in the World War by the red men who fought side by side with and for the people, who are responsible for taking the western empire from them. Richard Dix is the Indian hero while Lois Wilson appears as the white heir. Nah Berry, whose Dobergar also are featured players in the picture. Lucien Hubbard adapted the Zane Grey story for screen use while Ethel Doberty wrote the continu- Star Looks the Part Until they heard him speak, the red men on the Navajo Indian Reservation thought Richard Dix was a member of some other Indian tribe and at least fifty times during the filming of "The Vanishing American," in which he plays the role of the Indian hero, he was asked from what red nation he was from. That Paramount was fortunate in obtaining Dix to portray the part of Nophaic in Zane Grey's powerful story was declared by Mrs. Louisa Wetheril, who acted in the capacity of technical advise, on this picture and also "The Pony Express," having operated trading posts among the aborigines of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah for twenty-five years. "Mr. Dix not only is a fine actor but also has features similar to those of the race he represents in the pictures," she said. "His straight, thin lips, straight nose, height, erect stature, jaw good height, erect stature, jaw good height and dex恳恳ness of manner are all characteristic of the Indian." AT THE COLONIAL The Colonial Theatre presents a pretentious bill in both halves of next week's performances. Topping the first half bill, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is: Al's Here, presenting a real novelty singing bit. It is a musical comedy in full town atmosphere and is full of action throughout the entire act. Next down the line comes McRae and Mot, man and woman in a super-comedy offering with some of the latest hits of the season. Ted and Al Waldman in "Bluology" finish the bill in a bit of the extraordinary. Their act is a comedy of funny music and funny saving. But the champion harmonica players, they have an act that is full of jazz and everything that goes with it. Joe Browning tops the program in the second half of the week. Browning is one of America's leading fun-makers and does not fail to produce many side-splitting guaws. She has Higgins and her company present a kaleidoscopic variety in dancing diversionism. She has a snappy and peppy lot of funmakers and excellent dancers. Edgar Burgen offers a superfine ventriloquial performance that has made a hit throughout the Keith-Albe Chevt. His act will involve the local theatre-goers. Stanley Walters, immitable comedy couple with a repertoire of original sayings and songs end the week.

THE VALUE OF VOC THE VALUE OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING THE VALUE OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING By WILSON HILL Vocational Bricklayer The value of a vocational training is not clearly seen by those who still have the old idea of an education. This idea that a person is educated when he has a knowledge of the languages, mathematics, history, science and other things that comprise the academic education is wrong, indeed. Cultivating the brain and leaving the hand untrained is not wise. For this reason the twentieth century has created the modern vocational training. This training includes the practical as well as the theoretical side of the course. No vocational training is complete without these two sides of the subject. One cannot easily use one successfully without the other. Thence, those who possess the theoretical side without the practical side use a dangerous situation rather than a safe asset. Therefore the twentieth century stands for a person of full training as the modern When we think of the value of a vocational training, our reasoning faculties immediately tell us that the world cannot do without it. We always agree that anything that is a necessity is valuable. It takes all the different branches of learning to carry on the world. One functioning without the other leaves something done no matter how essential it may be. We give our essential credit to our vocational training. The untrained person is becoming obsolete. His work does not come up to the standard that is requested. It cannot stand the modern test. It can High School Vocational Dept. Is Organized The vocational department of the Booker T.

Strong emphasis will be placed on the educational and thrift features of the week the object of Trade Week to improve living conditions in the homes, elevate the standards of living, urge the systematizing of household expenditures and every family to make some sort of provision for the proverbial rainy day. Various Businesses Saturday, February 13, will be set apart as professional day when the activities will be mainly in interest of such groups as physicians, dentists, morticians, lawyers, pharmacists and nurses. The following Sunday will be unlift day, devoted to the churches, social welfare agencies. Monday will be set apart as artisans' day. These include contractors, builders, plumbers, cement workers, blacksmiths, auto mechanics, electricians, plasterers, painters, shoemakers, bakers and butchers and paper hangers. Tuesday, February 16, will be devoted to thrift. The thrift agencies include banks, building and loan associations, real estate agencies, thrift and savings clubs, insurance, fraternal orders and beneficial associations.

All of these defects come from the lack or training. This is why we try to impress upon your minds the value of trained workers. The modern vocational training stands for trained workers, workers who know every necessary detail of their vocation, workers who can give the best quality of work and service and guarantee their work satisfactory and free from faults. The modern vocational training has given to the world all of its modern conveniences, comforts and luxuries. It is steadily increasing all of them. When an inventor connotes an idea he turns his idea over to one who's vocational training makes him capable of putting it into mechanical form. When this mechanical device is put into operation it revolutionizes things for the better. Examples of our railways that penetrate every part of the civilized world's interior. The steamships that carry on commerce with all the world. The airplane which has been used mostly as a destructive agent in war is now making remarkable progress along the constructive line. The radio has given economical, communication. Our large and beautiful buildings with great heights and architectural wonders express civilization themselves. All of these are products of men who have been well trained along various routes. The work commensal the door. Its size could be estimated. Therefore let us look well to this kind of training.

Blyden Library Has New Books The Blyden Branch of the Norfolk Public Library is in receipt of many new magazines, states the librarian, and several volumes of new books have been placed upon the library shelves recently. Increased interest and use of the Library recently has been noted, for which the librarian thanks the public. Many students of the city schools have registered at the library for their teachers. Then, with a great number of parents are registering as an example for their children. There are certain rules of the library which the librarian desires that the public clearly understand. They are: first, the library is open from 2 to 8 o'clock p. m. Second, there must be no talking. Third, books must be returned on time. Fourth, parents must see that their children take the best of care of books borrowed from the library. There have been instances where books belonging to the institution have been lost on the streets, and found by kindly disposed persons belonged to the library, for which the librarian extends thanks.

COLLEGE IN OKLAHOMA IN FRONT LINE Dr. Isaac W. Young, President Of Institution For Four Years, A Maker of Dreams; School Forging Ahead. Langston, Okla., Jan 18—Were I a Dumas, I would caption this, "TEN YEARS AFTER," and then go on with the story. Twelve years ago, eleven years ago and ten years ago this writer visited Langston University for the last time until today. Ten years ago there was no discipline here. The buildings were delapidated and falling down, the grounds unkept and the vast acres were unattended. Langston was just the poorest apology for a school, this writer had ever seen and this writer published over his own signature the facts as they were and made plenty trouble for himself by so doing. The Campus was a fright. There was no discipline here then. What I published caused an awful uphail at the time; lawsuits and fist fights and other sort of rows eminated there from; the offending agencies were put out of Langston school and finally had to leave the Langston community a new set of officers with the notorious 'Fessor Markus at its head were put in and they proved to be worse than their predecessors and finally the state authorities cleaned that whole kit out, boot, spur and dragon and put President Young in the place. When New Regime Came When President Young came to the work, he found conditions which beggar descriptions, but he and his amiable wife tackled the herculean task of bringing order out of this chaotic condition left in the dropping of Markus. President Young has been here not quite four years, and things are in bloom and the place is a paradise as compared to the former fifth rate school which it was under its two former masters. Order everywhere. Each Department, each section, and each room has its busy workers and each one of them knows what he is about. One sees no idle group hanging about as in the old day when fires broke out with singular regularity from spontaneous combustion. President Young was for many years, mayor of the town of Boley, Oklahoma, where he gained large civic experience from actual community building, and this constructive genius is using this large and valuable experience for the benefit of all the people of his state. Conditions of Today Today this writer visited the piggy; the bennery, large, new and modern, the machine shop, the carpenter shop, the gymnasium and the laundry. Here is a practical laundry, where they have a modern dry cleaning department, a real outfit where they do all the modern styles and kinds of work and do it well. Here President Young is proving himself a second Booker Washin gton, be teaching by having the students actually do the lessons rather than recite them. For instance, in the machinship, I saw boys doing tinsmith, blacksmith, farm mechanics and repairing an automobile. Here is given all sorts of shop practice and the boys seem to know what it is about and where they are traveline. Here too, I saw some boys repairing a battery in the battery building department. And then I visited the central power place where is produced the light, heat and water for all the buildings of this sollden institution. Fine New Building And before the writer forgets to mention it, instead of the three old delapidated and ill kept buildings, with their fearful smelling odors which I had good bye in 1910 when I was last here, today our own eight beautiful modern buildings and each is heated by steam, has a modern lighting system and above all other considerations ever spot in this institution is clear. President Young, the boys tell me, is a perfect ferret for dirt and won't allow any fish about. To the credit of President Young and his splendid faculty and field force, he is said, the Colored Agricultural and Normal University, of Langston, Oklahoma, ranks favorably with any of the state controlled institutions of the United States. This school is doing a lasting and useful work for the colored people of this country and for the state of Oklahoma. Its President, the Honorable Isaac W. Young, a skilled practitioner of medicine, a learned scholar and the best city mayor Bayle, Oklahoma, ever had is rendering a service to the racebroun the nation by conducting the Langston University in a moss-high-class manner which is a credit to us all.

An Unlimited Treasure of Undeveloped Resources Exist Now In The South Well-Known Southern Professor Draws Criticism Of Experts When He Overlooks Ne agro As Source Of Labor Supply. Jackson's 'Men of Color' In Battle of New Orleans "The South has more natural and undeveloped resources than any section of the United States. It has three-fifths of the Nation's coast line. West Virginia and Kentucky each have coal areas as great as the entire coal area of Europe outside of Russia. Alabama has a coal area about equal to that of Great Britain, as well as an abundant supply of iron ore and limestone, which have already made Birmingham one of the great steel centers of the world, though it has only just begun to develop. Muscle Shoals has unlimited resources for hydro-electric development. Indeed, the rate of increase in the use of electricity for the South in the ten-year period ending 1923, was 212.7 per cent., while the rate of growth for the remainder of the country in the same period was 147.9 per cent." according to Proof. Roy L. Caris, well-known Vandahlphil University economist, in an article in the recent quarterly issue of the North American Review, in which he attempts to correct some "Misconceptions About The South" from a Southern's viewpoint. Great Development Assured "The mountain country," he said, which stretches from West Virginia and Virginia through the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama and likewise the mountain lands of Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri, offer climatic and natural advantages for industrial operations which practically assists its continual development into one of the greatest, if not the greatest manufacturing region in the world. Here are valleys fertile to the extreme. Here are great stores of a wide variety of minerals, marbles and granites. Here are many streams still running their courses likely to the sea. Here are great areas of timber land. On either side of the mountain range food stuffs can be produced to any extent that may be necessary to feed a dense population. Disregards Millions of Negro Workers "From the four or five million whites who now inhabit the heart of this mountainous region can be By R. B. ELEAZER Educational Director, Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Digging into must records of the Battle of New Orleans. Fought between the Americans and the British on Jan. 8, 1815, one comes upon the story of an unexperienced factor in that historic event—the gallant participation of General Jackson's "Men of Color." In the National Crisis of 1814, with the State of Maine in British hands, the capitol at Washington in ashes, and坠iments practically at an end, Governor Chathorne, of Louisiana, appealed to General Jackson to collect Negro soldiers, who in small numbers had given good account of themselves in the Northern armies and with Commodores Perry and Daughough. Men of Good Character "These men, sir," said Claiborne, "for the most part sustain good characters. Many of them have extensive connections and much property to defend, and all seem attached to arms. If we give them not our confidence the enemy will be encouraged to intrigue and corrupt them." On Sept. 21, 1814, Jackson followed this suggestion by issuing a spirited appeal to the free Negroes of Louisiana "Through an existent policy," he said, "you have heretofore been deprived of participation in the glorious struggle for national rights in which our country is engaged. This longer shall exist. As sons of freedom, you are now called upon to defend our most inestimable blessing. As Americans, you a country looks with confidence to her adopted children for a valuable support as a faithful return for the advantages enjoyed under her mild and capitable government. As fathers, husbands and brothers, you are summoned to rally around the standard of the eagle, to defend all which is dear in existence. In severity of a soldier and, the language of truth I address you." Those who existed were promised the same beauty and white soldiers and were to have Negroes can commission officers. Raised Two Regiments A month later the Louisiana legislature authorized the raising of two regiments of "men of color" by voluntary enlistment. The "men of color" rallied to the call and two battalions were enlisted, numbering 350 men. These were commanded by a white planter, La Corte, and by Maj. Maij. Daquin, and were stationed in Jackson's front line of defense, which wrought such havoc with the advance of British on January 8. How well they did their part was indicated in Jackson's address to the soldiers after the battle in which no伤亡. "To the men of Color—Soldiers: From the shores of Mobile I collected you to arms. I invited you to share in the perils and to divide the glory of your white country. I expected much from you, recruited the most productive, the most skilled, and most intelligent native American labor in this country." The foregoing statement has drawn the fire of able experts and fair-minded journalists and laymen. Amazement has been expressed at Prof. Garis' disregard of the millions of equally native, equally intelligent, and—those given the chance for training—equally skilled Afro-Americans who can be used as a reliable labor supply. Prof. Garis continues saving: "To the east of this mountain region stretch the cotton, sugar, and rice growing sections, which even now produce in addition 200,000 carlonds a year of early vegetables for shipment to Northern and Western markets. Here is the Piedmont country, now the center of the textile industry of the South and destined to be the textile center of the world. Here manufacturing enterprises are developing so rapidly that the value of the South's manufactures now exceeds the value of its agricultural output." Mr. Garis did not mention that the cause may not so much be the growth of manufacturing as a decrease in agricultural output due to lack of farm labor supply as a result of the Negro migration of recent years, a factor that many economists suggest may be fundamental in the greater output now in manufacturing. However, he continues: However, he continues, "Below the Piedmont region are rich lands which produce grains, cotton and a wide variety of winter crops. Here is Florida, with a climate which in itself is one of the Nation's greatest assets. But, Florida, like the rest of the South Atlantic and Gulf Coast territory, has a variety of soil suitable for almost every crop grown in any tropical region." He did not think to enumerate the South's liabilities in his "Account Statement" and gave no reason for not doing so. "There are obvious liabilities," declares o n noted writer. for I was not uninformed of those qualities which must render you so formidable to an invading tree. I knew that you could endure hunger and thirst and all the hardships of war. I knew that you loved the land of your nativity and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpass my hopes. I have found in you, united to these, that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds." In his report of the battle to President, Monroe, Jackson embodies an interesting speculation as to the death of the British commander: "I saw Con. Parkenham reel and pitch out of his saddle. I have always believed that he felt from the bullet of a foeman of color, who was a famous rifle shot and came from the Attakapus region of Louisiana. "Negro In Industry.' In February Issue of "Opportunity" With one of the best special numbers of its career, "Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life," published by the National Urban League, 127 East 21st Street, New York city, devotes its February issue to the problems of "The Negro in industry." Never before in the history of the black man in his trek northward for a fairer share in the fruits of industrial labor has there been such a gathering together of the best minds, both black and white, on the outlook, ideals, experience and triumphs of the Negro in steel, cotton, iron and coal mining. A glance at some of the leading essays and the undoubted qualifications of the men secured to write them, is enough to convince anyone of the accuracy and scientific thoroughness, which have gone into the preparation of the number. In it, for instance, William A. Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, asks himself the question, "Why Belong to the Union?" Other Articles Other articles are as follows: The Negro in the Cotton Industry, by E. Franklin Frazier, "Optimism in Negro Farm Life," by W. S. Scarborough, ex-president of Wilberforce University; "The Dilemma of Negro Workers," by T. Arnold Hill; "Labor For Southern Cotton Mills," by Richard W. Ednounds; "The Negro in the Coal Mining Industry," by Abram L. Harris and "The Negro and Economic Radicalism," by A. Phillip Randolph. Aaron Douglass the brilliant young Negro artist gives it some gorgeous symbolic illustrations, and Countee Cullen, F. Wallace Thurman, F. V. Calverton, H. Holingsworth Wood and Miss Clarissa Scott contribute poems and book reviews. The number contains over twenty articles as well as surveys and letters by leading employers of Negro labor testifying to the success of induct- NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE LARGE NUMBER OF WEEVIL WILL SURVIVE WINTER LARGE NUMBER OF WEEVIL WILL SURVIVE WINTER United States Department of Agriculture Warns Cotton Growers To Be on the Lookout For 1926 Crop of Pest. In spite of the fact that climatic conditions have been unfavorable for the boll weevil during the last two years, the number of boll weevils entering hibernation at various points in the cotton belt last fall was higher than in any of the previous years, except one, for which records are available. Weevil hibernation this winter is decidedly above the normal average. This is shown by the studies which the Department of Agriculture has made at points in Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Cotton farmers are warned by the department not to conclude from the comparative immunity from boll weevil infestation which they have had during the last two years, that similar conditions will exist in 1926. Winter temperatures and not the amount of weevil damage done in the last two years, will determine weevil infestation this year, says the department. Weevils Hibernate While the rate of weevil survival through the winter is definitely determined by the weedher, a factor of almost equal importance is the number of weevils actually entering hibernation in the fall. The department's investigations show that there is no basis for the idea that the light weevil damage done to the cotton crop of 1925 means there can only be a small number of weevils in hibernation at the present time. The fact is that at Taluah, La., where boll weevil hibernation records have been kept since 1915, the number of live weevils found per ton of Spanish moss this winter is 280. This compares with 16 per ton of moss in 1924, 229 in 1923, 137 in 1917, 133 in 1916, and 737 in 1915. Spanish moss is a favorite hibernating place of the boll weevil. It is therefore used by the department's investigators as an index of the rate of hibernation. From the foregoing figures it will be noted that, in more or less normal years, from 130 to 200 weevils represent about the average number going into bibernation in the tail. While this year's rate of bibernation at Tallulah is much above the average, it is exceeded by the count at other points. Thus the average weevil bibernation for northern Louisiana is estimated at 330 live weevils per ton of moss in Southern Louisiana the average is the normally high total of 1,451. For North Carolina the average is 430. In South Carolina and Georgia and at the point where counts have been made the number is lighter, being 52 for South Carolina and 39 for Georgia. These figures do not mean that any such numbers of weevil will survive the winter, says the department. Nevertheless, they give the first index of the number which may be in resistance to start infestation next Spring. Conditions throughout much of the cotton belt last fall were fairly favorable for weevil breeding after the cotton crop had been made. In North Carolina there was a heavy second growth, and ideal conditions resulted for weevil breeding and bredation. In the Spring examinations will be made to determine the number of weevils that have survived the winter. Recent observations indicate, however, that fall records are of extreme importance. WELFARE WORKERS ATTEND INSTITUTE Atlanta, Ga., January 25.—The Social Hygiene Institute, held here recently under the auspices of the Atlanta School of Social Work, in cooperation with the American Hygiene Association and a dozen local welfare agencies, was attended by more than two hundred of the city's social workers and college students and was considered highly successful. Three days were spent in the study of the various subjects involved, as presented by Franklin O. Nichols and Miss Olive Owings, of the American Hygiene Association. Hugh Fuller, of the State Department of Public Welfare, Miss Lillian Alexander, of the City Health Department, Walter R. Chivers, of the Neighborhood Union, Miss Martha Dupré, of the Police Department, E. Franklin Frazier and Miss Katy Mac Davis, of the School of Social Work, and others. Presiding at the various sessions were president John Hope, M. S. Savage, of Clark University, M. S. O. Thomas, of the Urban League, Dr. Willis J. King, of Gammon Seminary, Dr. W. J. Penn, Mrs. H. R.

New Unfinished Masonic Temple May Be Sold Washington, D. C.-The unfinished Masonic Temple building at Tenth and U streets, upon which construction has been suspended for some time, and which was planned to represent a total cost of nearly a half million dollars when completed, probably will be sold "us is" in the near future. The building was designed to surpass in pretentiousness and appointments practically every fraternal home owned by colored people in the country. The sale of the unfinished building was recommended to the court in a report filed last week by a committee appointed by Justice Hitz on May 12, 1925, for the purpose of negotiating a loan in an amount sufficiently large to liquidate existing indebtedness and complete the erection of the building. According to the report the committee found it impossible to secure a loan on the property on account of fractional strife in the Masonic Order in the District of Columbia and court litigation. The committee further recommended that the structure should not be permitted to remain in its unfinished condition not only on account of the danger to life and limb but also because the affairs of the New Masonic Hall Corporation are in such shape and the conditions existing are of such nature that the corporation is unable to proceed further with the construction of the building. URGED TO PUNISH THE FLORIDA MCB URGED TO PUNISH THE FLORIDA MCB Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24—Efforts are being made by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation to mobilize public sentiment in Florida and to stir the officials to effective action in connection with the lynching near Ocala on January 11th. Telegrams were sent immediately by the Commission to Governor Martin and to a number of religious, educational, and civic leaders over the State, urging the necessity of prompt and vigorous action. Replies have been received from a number of those addressed, indicating that they at once took the matter up with the Governor. Steps are being taken in addition to enlist certain important civic, religious, and student groups to the same end. The Commission also has a man on the ground looking into conditions and seeking to get action locally. The telegram sent Governor Martin was follows: "Atlanta, Georgia. "Jan. 12, 1926. "Gov. Jno, Welborn Martin. "Tallahassee, Florida." "Associated Press this morning reports that Florida had first leaching of new year. Record indicate one hundred and thirty-five people met death by mobs within State since 1900. In few if any of these cases, have effective steps been taken to convict mob members. Entire South blamed for this barbarous practice of few backward communities and American civilization and Christianity discredited around the world. As Governor, you could render more greater service to Florida and the South than by bringing pressure to bear on local authorities to secure prosecution of mob members, remove officers guilty of negligence and take such other steps as will prevent recurrence. You can be assured of the sympathy and co-operation of friends of law and order throughout the South." Mammoth Pipe Organ Installed At Wilberforce By Preston News Service Wilberforce, O. Jan. 2S—T he thirty thousand dollar pipe organ is being assembled in Shorter Hall auditorium. The instrument consists of a main organ, which has sets of pipes ranging from the size of a lead pencil to six inches in diameter and a foot long, and a solo organ which has four sets of pipes. It contains a complete set of traps, bass drum and kettle drum, toner drum, chimes, zyphon, bell, cymbals, all of which are operated from the keys in the orchestra pit. The instrument stands twenty eight feet high. It is said to be one of the finest organs in this section. Another pipe organ has been installed in the Music Department for the students of the Conservatory of Music, but this instrument has not as many sets of pipes the one in the Shorter Hall auditorium. The instruments are known as the Hop-Jones Unit Orchestra. Voters May Knife Senator Watson Indianapolis, Ind.—Colored voters of this State are not at all satisfied with the public record of Senator James E. Watson, candidate for re-election, and may knife him in the approaching primaries. Watson is said to be a clanian enlistee, and the upright and courageous Negroes of Indiana despite of his ever doing a n y real constructive work on behalf of the race. It is said that Senator Watson made a garrulous stage gesture to have Tiddrington appointed Register of the U. S. Treasury, knowing that such a move would make good campaign "stuff" and knowing equally as well that Tiddrington would not be appointed. Baroness De Beck, of England, recently succeeded to the head of the wine business of her father and already is achieving great success. "Atlanta, Georgia. "Jan. 12, 1926. SOCIAL PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES OF MILL WORKERS Tennessee Coal And Iron Company Employs Trained Social Workers To Find Wholesome Recreation. Restive labor, turning itself over, month in and month out, is one of the drawbacks of efficiency in any industrial plan. Openentrs and employment managers of a broad vision are unanimous in this conclusion; and those who are sincerely determined to establish permanent efficiency in the working forces of their organizations agree that questions of work relations and conditions of labor are as important as questions of wages and hours of service. During the past decade the migration of approximately one million Negroes from the farms and factories of the South, partly because of an unusual urge from the North, and partly because of work relations and conditions of labor which the migrants, affirmed could have been improved in various areas, was the approximate cause of many employers of Negro labor, both North and South, giving a greater degree of attention to work relations, leisure periods, recreation, and improved general conditions of labor, which were found to have as great an influence upon the contentment of working forces as wages and hours. Theory of Contentment Upon the theory that the happiness of a worker during "off" hours has a marked influence upon his work attitude during work time, employees are more and more taking definite steps to guide the social welfare of their employees at all times. Notable among those employers who are developing the social hour for their employees may be mentioned a number of the great steel plants of the North. One, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, of Birmingham, Ala., now promotes a highly-organized department of social science for its employees and their families. The promotion of club work, adult sewing classes, the community spirit, and the bringing together of parents, children, teachers, employees, officials, and friends, is an act in teamwork which makes for work, home, and community contentment. Spring Festival The climax of the yearly efforts of the Company's Department of Social Science is a Spring Festival, preparations for which are begun in the preceding November. In January, the Superintendent of the Department of Social Science either selects or writes a pageant for the white children and one for the colored children. She works out the color effects and the staging of the pageants. She then discusses each pageant with the Superintendent of the Division of Physical Education and Athletics and the Supervisor of Recreation, who plan the dances, etc. The three select the music for the pageant. After the Division Superintendent of Physical Education and the Supervisor work out the dances, marches, and dance, they decide which school shall take certain parts and the number of children to be used in each event. The Victrola records are ordered for each school, diagrams of the field and the marches and dances are made by the Superintendent of the Division of Physical Education and Athletics. All plans are worked out a meeting is held with all recreation instructors in the schools and the drill dances, etc. taught to them by the Superintendent of the Division of Physical Education and Athletics and Supervisor of Recreation. By means of these pageants the Company is able to interest a number of mothers in attending sewing classes who probably would not otherwise be interested. During the closing week of school, each school gives an entertainment, the children put on the same part they took in the pageant. All the costumes and properties used for the pageants are used over again for these entertainments. After the pageant and school entertainments are over all costumes and properties are inventoried and are used all during the year by different clubs and other groups giving entertainments. Other Activities Among other activities conducive to work contentment is the raising of a scholarship fund of $300 for the colored schools. This fund provides for two scholarships of $150 each to two colored pupils. This amount is sufficient to pay for two years in county high schools, which it is hoped the pupil will go to college. If the money is not needed for high school, it is placed at intorel- to meet the first year of college work. A "Clean-up Campaign" the "Story Hour" for employee children, "Baby Clinics," bath houses, church clubs, women's clubs, girl clubs, cooking schools, housekeeping lessons, nutrition clinics, camping, school gardening, with prizes for the best gardens, athletes, musical organizations, motion pictures and last, but not least, six colored kindergartens, four of them carrying double session, with an enrollment of 288 kiddies, comprise the more important adjunct activities which the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company promotes, with particular regard for the stability and contentment of its working forces. The investment of brains and money in such a program is well worth while. Many other leading companies, North and South, are using the same ounce of prevention, realizing that contented workers are stable, efficient, and humanly immovable. 3 handy packs for 5¢ WRIGLEY'S P.K.

Pullman Porters Union Movement Invades the South New York---The movement to organize the Pullman porters into the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters has invaded the South. W. H. DesVerney, assistant general organizer of the organization, is now on an extensive organization campaign tour through Charleston, S. C., Savannah, Ga., and Richmond, Va. He reports a well nigh unanimous interest on the part of Southern porters in the movement. A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, has instituted what he promises to be a comprehensive survey of the economic and social conditions of the Pullman porters to be conducted by a group of expert economists. This states Mr. Randolph, will constitute the first selecfile inquiry into the economic status of a large group of Negro workers in America ever made. English Woman Addresses Students Tallahassee, Fl.—The students of Florida A. and M. College were addressed by Miss Catherine Elston, of Harpage Yorkshire, England, at Chapel exercise recently. In a brief talk Miss Elston said in part, "I am glad to see the interest the students have in their school work. During my visit to your class-rooms it gave me pleasure to see how eager you are to grasp the subjects as presented by your teachers." "The American citizen is blessed," said Miss Elston, "as they are not handicapped by families and through education probability they can" rise to untold heights. The choir sang for the English visitor and delighted her with their variety of program from spirituals to hallards. PLEASANT RIDGE Pleasant Ridge, Va.-Mr. Carl Wilfrey Clarke, of Kinston, N.

SATURDAY JANUARY 30. 1926 URGE LEADERS OF RACE GROUPS TO CONFERENCES Dr. W. W. Alexander Says Closer Understanding Between Whites and Negroes Will Solve Problem. (By Preston News Service) St. Louis, Mo., Jan 28—Closer understanding and sympathy between Negroes and whites of the higher intellectual types is essential to a solution of the race problem and the economic and civil questions that grow out of it, is the opinion of Dr. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta. Ga., executive secretary of the Interracial Commission of the Federal Council of Churches, who spoke at the opening session of the Missouri State Conference on Race Relations Tuesday morning at the Public Library Auditorium. About ninety-seven representatives, white and Negro, of religious, educational, church and social organizations throughout the state extend the conference. The white man and the Negro, Dr. Alexander declared, must be brought together by an indirect process, the principal features of which is a proper representation of the life, characteristics and aims of both races. This representation, he said, must come from the school, the pulpit and the press. Education, he said, is a vital factor in the struggle of the white man and the Negro to work out their racial attitudes toward each other. The endergagement of the race relations society through the addition of both white and Negro Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. representatives, and women's boards from virgin churches, was decided upon at the afternoon session. Mrs. W. C. Winsborough of St. Louis was elected chairman of the Missouri organization for the coming year. Reports on living conditions of the Negro, discussion of methods for betterment of that condition and plans for aiding the white man and the Negro to a clearer understanding of each other made up the principal business of the conference. Mississippi Farmers' Conference Utica-Miss.-The 20th annual Utica Negro Farmers' Conference was held for two days this week. A large number of farmers was present, and it proved to be one of the best conferences ever held here. Principal Wm. H. Holtzclaw was no-elected president for the 20th year and in accepting the presidency he made a notable address which has been widely copied in the daily press. Among the porable speakers present was Dr. George W. Carver, the famous agricultural chemist of Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Dr. Curve was seemingly at his best. His subject was "Southern Possibilities." The general topic of discussion at the conference was the "Farmers' Problems and His Possibilities." It is certain that much good was accomplished at this conference. Principal Hollis law and Dr. Crawford are making a tour of Mississippi addressing great gatherings of farmers and business men of both races. According to British scientists women are better at detail than men. 22. hep a a a LSC a RS 6 tf a AT pel pyre col po gS EN no REARS - : Fe A oe IS TE ET ae en ae habe ep EA INTE SS Ty AA PA ASSL A Tier eRUMMIGHN: OS 5 NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE tema tin Candle ngs ritmbanen St cada senenecmn eta SE SATURDAY, JANUARY 8¢ EE TE ; SPLOT TACT ITO ATI ONE VATE SETA, ETN IETS A VAVA UNA CA TAU SUA TAVERN TAIN COTA TOT TO INIA TD TATA AIO BUTTE TRC TSEC DELO IS TTI = K | Sim TETAS Tae TATARATARATATATIAIATON AIA IATANOATOTAN: RUBIA MANGINI TEICNARAIAIC IARC ISIC RAINERAIA AIIM TIN i ge ee ee i esses i ] BRS.

But Lot's wife, reluctant to give up companionship of friends and her distinguished status in the social circles of the city, looked back and became a "pillow or sult."

The club members which BELIEVE DOCTOR FLOGGED BY MEN OF HIS OWN RACE BELIEVE DOCTOR FLOGGED BY MEN OF HIS OWN RACE Solicitor Thinks Farmville Physician Was Not Attacked By Member of Klan. But Indignant Neighbors. Raleigh, N. C.-1; is the opinion of Solicitor Jesss H. Davis that the Ku Klux Klan had nothing to do with the recent thrashing given Dr. S. B. Collins, a British subject, of Farmville, by a bird of hooded men but that the physician was very probably flogged by members of his own race who disliked him because of his dominating and overhearing attitude. Solicitor Davis believes, however, that the attack on Dr. Collins was led by relatives of white dope addicts to whom he thinks the physician sold done. Dr. Collins was seized while riding in his car by a brand of men several weeks ago, who severely thrashed him and left him on the roadside some miles from town. Being a British subject, he reported the affair to the British Consul as well as the chief of police upon his return to the city. At the request of the consul, Governor McLean commissioned Solicitor Davis to make a thorough inquiry in the circumstances of the flogging and to fix the blame if possible. The solicitor makes the following report: "In consequence of a communication received from the British vice consul, as well as a request from your excellency, to investigate; the above matter, I have, in pursuance of my duty, tried the best I know how, using every sentinilla of evidence which I have been able to gather to get something to arrive at a correct conclusion about the matter. The evidence I have gathered is as follows: "This man Collins was a licensed physician practicing medicine in the town of Farmville, largely among his own race, but with a few exceptions he did at times, as I have been reliably informed, dispense done to some white women who were addicts. After the alleged assault upon Collins, within two days thereafter, I proceeded to Farmville, had a conversation with him relative to the identity of any parties that might have been connected with this matter. He named one man who he thought was a member of the party. "I thought this would possibly furnish a clue and would give me something of a tangible nature upon which I might proceed. However, after a thorough investigation of the matter I ascertained beyond a shadow of doubt that the man who was named as one of the parties was not even in the state on the right of the alleged dogging, I have talked with members of his own race in which I have confidence, man who are outstanding in the colored race for truth and veracity and I have recalled the conclusion from these interviews that there was more or less jealousy existing against Collins by members of his own race by reason of his exalted pride and dominating spirit. I am confident that, from my investigations, the supposed Klux Klan had nothing wisterious to do with the alleged dogging, but was wholly inspired and consumed by some one of his own race, possibly led by the husbands or relatives of these white patients of his who were done addicts. "I have done the best I could in my investigation to ascertain the truth about the matter and to bring the guilty parties to the bar of justice, without regard to color or previous condition of servitude."

Crump 1212 St. John Street Champion Pool Player Gives Demonstration Richmond, Va.—The world's champion pool player, Greenleaf gave an exhibition in the art of pool playing at the Elks' Home, 4th and Clay streets, Thursday night, Mr. Greenleaf had been in the city several days playing and giving exhibitions at all of the white pool parlors where his lowest run was 20 points. At the invitation of Mr. M. A. Norrell he consented to come to the Elks' Home and show his waves to the Negroes there, at which place he performed the seemingly impossible shots, making the cue ball play "hop-scoot" jumping over the bridge and curving around other balls as it went on to perform the mission for which it was sent. The other balls obeyed the commands of the shooter as promptly as given; they looked almost human after they struck the steak and told in which pocket to fall. As soon as the shot was executed each ball that had been called could be seen pushing its way thru and going slowly or hurriedly to the pocket for which it was assigned. It was truly a great exhibition of the art and no one who sees Greenleaf plays wonders why he is champion of the world. Street Car And Auto Collide Richmond, Va.—The police are searching diligently and it is believed that arrests are soon to be made of the driver of the car that is said to have caused the great crash up which caused 17 people to be injured at Brook avenue and Clay streets Saturday night, when the automobile, said to have been that of a bootlegger, crushed with terrific speed into a Clay street car knocking it off the tracks into the parking lot, in opposite direction. The police of passengers of the two cars, most of whom were colored people we were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Some were seriously hurt and other not, according to reports. The driver whose car was smashed into splinters is believed to have escaped without a scratch.

R. Roper, 712 Brook avenue, Tuesday night at 8 o'clock The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, clinging ivy and smilax, arranged in such a way as to form a green archway from back to the front parlor, under which the bride and groom marched up to a giant house plant of spruce pine, which towered to the ceiling. With its slender branches stretched out on either side it almost resembled the out-stretched arms of a member of the family of the handsome couple waiting to receive and welcome them. The officiating minister, Rev. W. H. Stokes, stood with his back to the plant while the couple faced it as the ceremonies were being performed, making a striking but perfunctory, weeping still when after the ceremony the palet sat beneath the branches of the tremendous pot plant to receive congratulations from the throng gathered there. The bride of 20 was given in marriage by her father. The Hardy brothers orchestra of which Mr. Barroft, the groom is a member, furnished the music for the reception and dance that followed.

Haynes was known here as the 'gentlemen's' bootlegger because it is said he catered to the big men down town and served only exclusive trade. Riding about in a Ford coupe he could be seen frequenting many of the office buildings where, it is reported, he took orders, later delivering the goods, and then a peculiar ran rife as to whether or not he would ever be convicted because of the supposed hacking of his influential clientele, who, many people claimed, would keep Haynes from going to jail. Many men of the sporting element had wagers on the outcome of the proceedings. But the much discussed influence of the 'big falls' was not brought to bear so Haynes was convicted and the bets were promptly paid off.

(Continued from Page One) considered for the addition of one or more stories to the building. The building cost $250,000 at the time of its erection, and houses five Negro corporations which employ 185 persons. It is this company which will within a short time begin the erection of a three-story brick home for working girls from other places. The home will be complete in every particular and will include a small gymnasium. Fire Insurance Durham is the home of the Bankers' Fire Insurance company, which is claimed to be the only one of its kind in the world. It was organized in 1920 and has enjoyed steady growth. From 1921 its total assets of $180,000 grew to $255,000 in 1924. In 1922 the company took over the Southern Fire Insurance company, of Atlanta, Ga., which had an outstanding business of $8,000,000. Organized Here The National Negro Finance corporation, capitalized at $1,000,000, was conceived and headed by Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute fame. It was organized at a meeting held here which was attended by leading Negroes from all sections of the United States. It is building up a national credit agency and is providing working capital for individuals, firms and corporations. The corporation closed a successful year of business on January 1, 1926, and paid six per cent dividends to stockholders from profits earned. Stock amounting to $200,000 has been sold, most of which was sold through the mails. Three bond issues have been underwritten by the corporation. First of Its Kind Durham also has the distinction of being the home of the first colored fraternal society organized in the state to provide insurance for its members. The Royal Knights of King-David was organized in 1888. The 1926 program includes an extension of operations into 25 states, a life extension department which will necessitate another building, an increase in the mortuary fund from its present figure of $175,000 to $1,000,000, an increase of memberships from the present figure of 40,000 to 100,000. If the plan goes through it will mean that another-building will be effected in the city by the Negroes which will be a credit to the community. Another Distinction This city, it is claimed, enjoys another distinction that no other city in the United States does—it is the home of a bank which operates a branch bank in another city. The Mechanics and Farmers bank is 18 years old and has enjoyed a steady growth in business. A goal of $1,000,000 has been set for the year. The branch is operated in Raleigh. Total resources for the bank are $779,259, of which amount $185,000 constitutes the resources of the Raleigh branch. This company, through its real estate department, has purchased, promoted and is developing a modern residential section known as College Heights, located between Lincoln hospital and the Negro college, out of which $19,000 in profits were earned during the past year. College Program The final measure of the accomplishments of the Durham Negro will be in education. The state legislature has established here the North Carolina College for Negroes, offering a program of full grade "A" college work, including commercial, classical, pre-medical and teacher training courses. The great need of the institution now is the erection of new buildings. To begin with the plant was not such as to make the school so attractive but many months ago the campus was visited by three disastrous fires which destroyed three of the principal buildings. This gave the college a bad start when it was launched forth as an "A" grade institution. The next session of the legislature will be asked to appropriate the sum of $1,000,000 to be used in a big building program for the school, according to local Negro leaders. Club Houses Recently the John Merrick club was organized by some of the most prominent Negroes of the community and within the near future it is planned to erect a club house, at the cost of approximately $15,000, on Fayetteville street. Durham receives many colored visitors each year from all sections of the United States. There is at present no place to entertain them and it was with this end in view that the club was organized. Several sites have been offered for the club and a committee is now engaged in working out the details. The building will be modern in all particulars. Scarborough Home Within a short time the home for the care of aged and infirm people and orphans of the Negro race will open for reception of inmates. The buildings, part of the old Lincoln hospital property, were purchased by J. S. Scarborough, local Negro, for the establishment of the home in memory of his late wife. The property is valued at around $20,000. The home will include a day nursery, orphanage, and old folks home. Trustees have already been appointed and approval of the state welfare department has been given to the plan for the operation of the home. In all probability the old folks department will be the first to be operated. Wheaton Hotel Notes Arrivals: Messrs.

Other Features During the past year the new Lincoln hospital, which cost approximately $250,000, was erected and occupied, giving to the Negroes of Durham what is said to be the finest and the best equipped Negro hospital in the South. The Y. W. G. A., the public schools, colored library, the Business Men's League, a Negro theatre corporation, Building and Loan association, and many other things have their places in the order of things and the program of definite accomplishments. Pinned Faith Here In discussing the tendency of Negroes to go North, C. C. Spaulding, one of the city's leading Negroes, said that, "Durham today offers the greatest opportunity for the Negro man and women that can be found anywhere in this country. At different times within the last 25 years I have watched tendencies among professional business groups of my people to go, first North, and then West. During that same 25 years my associates and myself continued our program here in the South. I believe sincerely that what we have accomplished in Durham could not have been duplicated in any other section of the country. I believe Durham will be the first city in North Carolina within the next five or 10 years," and he declared that the Negroes will do their share of the work in boosting and pushing Durham forward. The Poet's Corner "The Men Who Rode The Range" Over the vast empire of the West, Time's hand brings many a change. With the passing of the years, There goes, the man who rode the range. This race of free born yoemen, Though hard to strike and ride, Have helped to make a nation, Like men they lived and died. They coined the lure of cities, They loved the open plain They rode in the wintry blizzard, They rode in the driving rain. No lowing herds, upon the plain, No "round up" is the fall; The "Chap" the saddle and lasso, Hang useless on the wall. O'er all the wide expanse of range, Now farmer's cots are seen. That hardy race of pioneers, Pass slowly from our sight. Their work well done, they pass away, The memory of their daring Thrilled many a youthful soul; To him, the men who rode the range, Seemed like the knights of old. —G. W. OWENS MOFFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE LINDENWOOD RESIDENTS WANT IMPROVEMENTS Residents Petition Council For Fire Plugs, Passable Streets Sewers And Extension of Water Mains. Residents of Lindenwood a n d Washington Heights have petitioned City Council for street improvements and better fire protection. The petition was decided upon at a citizens' mass meeting in Mount Olive; Baptist Church on the night of January 11, and was late; presented to the Council. The petitioners state that every street in their communities is practically impassable in rainy weather, a condition which virtually eliminates what little fire protection there is in those sections on account of the inability of the fire apparatus to negotiate the almost impassable streets. On account of the ungrated condition of the streets stagnant pools of water form after each rain with all their attendant dangers, state the petitioners.

This treatment is based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You take just one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. It has a double action. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the coughing. So the worst cough quickly disappears.

Miss Yolandia Brown performed well in a piano solo, while Mrs. Richard Bagly, the president, spoke very encouragingly of the work of the women. Mr. and Mrs. Bawley also were present and both spoke well. Mr. Bawley is a member of Bethany and has returned to the city, after a long stay in the South, where he secured a better half. Rev. Dr. M. C. Hoskins invoked the divine blessing. Mrs. S. I. Moone, the faithful organist was at her post and as usual performed her duties well. Mt. Zion, Wesley Union and Bethany will hold union services Sunday, the list at Bethany. The message will be delivered by Rev. D. F. Gladney of Mt. Zion. His subject will be "Growth." Rev. Miller will leave Monday at 9:30 p. m., for Chester, S. C., where he will deliver an evangelistic sermon to the Worker's Conference of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., which will be held at the Brainard Institute from February 2.5. Rev. J. M. Gaston, D. D., will preside. The early prayer meeting was very inspiring. Sunday school was well attended. The lesson was taught by Mr. Joyner, the superintendent, who gave a most interesting instruction. At 11:30 the pastor, Rev. J. M. M. Johnson, preached on the subject, "Stendfast in Christ." His was an eloquent message. The pastor preached again at night. Recent legislative action will greatly increase the income of the University of Porto Rico. FIRST BAPTIST LIKE EVERY OTHER CHURCH.

Quarterly Meeting Of Tidewater Missionaries The ardent and earnest workers of the different missionary circles of Tidewater, are looking forward to the meeting of the Women's Missionary and Educational Union of Tidewater in its quarterly meeting on Monday, February 1, 1926, 11 o'clock at First Calvary Baptist Church, Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor. This being the first quarterly meeting of the new year great things are expected, with a good crowd in attendance. First Calvary Closes Successful Revival The revival which has been going on since Watch Meeting night closed last Sunday with 150 additions to the church. Dr. F. R. Mason, of Salisbury, N. C., did the preaching while the pastor led a large chorus each evening. The meeting was largely attended and often many were turned away. Last Sunday was a highly interesting day in First Calvary—the worshippers were out from every quarter. The Bible School was largely attended and at 11:30 a.m., the large auditorium was packed to its utmost, chairs being placed in every available space while many stood around the walls. The pastor preached from the subject. "The Man Who Started; Got Half Way and Stopped." Text, Gen. 11:12. The pastor was at his best and preached with power. Preceding the sermon the pastor delivered his sermonette to the boys. About 125 were present and stood with abated breath to hear the pastor tell about "Two Foundations." At 3:30 p. m., the ordinance of baptism was administered to a large number of candidates. The church was run over and many stood just to get a glimpse of the antisemitic ceremonies. At 7:30 p. m., the Lord's Super was administered. This was a about in the camps of Zion as the saints partook of the sacred elements. About 20 souls joined the church in the morning and evening services. The offering was good, and the revival closed with many "Thank Gods" and spiritual helps. You will always find a welcome at First Calvary—COME. SIHLOH BAPTIST CHURCH Services began here Sunday with a spiritual prayer meeting. At 11:30 Rev. V. V. K. Stokes preached to a full congregation, which included many visitors. His subject was "Peter's Denial of Christ." The pastor laid stress on people failing to own Christ at all times. The B. Y. P. U: was well attended, the young people taking an increasing interest in this service. At night Rev. Hodges preached an excellent sermon from the word, "Conscience." At this service the male chorus rendered special selections. The membership is striving to make the new pastor feel welcome to the church and city. "In The Garden With Christ Sermon . Topic "In The Garden With Christ" will be the subject of a special message this Sunday night at the First Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. Richard H. Bowling, announces that the treatment of this topic will take one pretty close to all that lies to the heart of the gospel. Mr. Charles Holland, brilliant young tenor, will sing a solo. Friends attending the evening services at this church are urged to come early, as there will be a change in the order of service. STUDENTS' HOTEL A students' residence, or hotel was recently dedicated with impressive ceremonies in Montevideo, Uruguay. The hotel is sponsored by a group of intellectuals to furnish home influences for students and to offer a center for the intellectual life of the community. One young woman in the United States sells a million dollars' worth of lumber a year to dealers. She is Miss Daisy B. Teeple, the Detroit representative of a number of Southern lumber mills. Prominent Ministers On Program Of Rev. Long's Installation East Orange, N. J.—The services during the installation of Rev. C. M. Long of the Calvary Baptist Church are getting well under way. Sunday evening, the pastor preached one sermon to the most crowded of the congregations during his arrival. As the spirit of Calvary is being revived again, the church is still extending her arms out for the ingathering of souls for the extension of God's Kingdom. During the week, which the weather hampered very much, several of the most prominent ministers with their congregations were present. The crowds coming with increasing interest inspires the pastor and the church in snusmupch that Calvary is still hoping to enlarge its field very shortly. On Sunday morning the Rev. C. R. Pulley, pastor of the Jerusalem Baptist Church, Orange, delivered the sermon from the subject: "Two Witnesses Sent from Heaven." Enlarging upon the text, he plainly showed the meeting upon the Mount of Transfiguration. Rev. J. C. Love of Montclair with his people attended the afternoon services with much spiritual life added into his sermon. Rev. Murphy of Keyport, N. J., in the evening rendered an edifying sermon with interesting illustrations. In his deliverance, he praised the church for the services they have acquired of the Rev. C. M. Long. The coming week ending the installation services of the pastor is filled with large features with big churches and pastors and on Friday night the mayor and others of prominence will be in attendance. Mr. Bowser will take your advertisement, subscriptions and notes for publication. The Dr. Sutherland of Glen Ridge, N. J., gave a debut for his daughter at which many professionals and distinguished guests were present. BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Sunday School Council Plans An Unusual Program For its bi-monthly session next Sunday the 31st inst. the T. I. S. School Council is planning an interesting and instructive program for, of, and by teachers, or those closely connected with the training of our youth. Inspirational addresses by Mus. Ida N. Pace of the Juvenile Court and Attorney Archer will be special features. While the various group sittings will be led by Miss Constance Fuller, Messrs. W. W. Selden and Walter Smith and Prof. Dungee. Plans for a Daily Vacation Bible School next spring are still under consideration. It is proposed to put this matter up to the public school teachers for volunteers. Over 4000 New York teachers have volunteered to do this work gratis in the metropolis. After an intensive and comparative easy 8 weeks preparatory course of one hour per week the average teacher is fully equipped to supplement the regular Sunday work in the D. V. B. School. An analysis of the Gospel of John will also be given at this session. All Sunday school workers in this vicinity are invited to attend. The opportunity to help and be helped in the work of religious education of the youth is pressing and fully evident to all not blinded by bigotry and selfishness. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Services at this church were well attended on last Sunday, as well as inspiring. The Sunday school is progressing under the leadership of Superintendent Manuel. The pastor, Dr. Smith, preached a very instructive sermon at the 11 o'clock services on the subject, "He Found Nothing But Leaves." Dr. Smith emphasized the thought of bearing fruit instead of all leaves. Sham and pretentiousness in the Christian life is the bearing of nothing but leaves, the pastor asserted. Mr. J. M. Gallup, president of the V. C. E. Society, is injecting considerable interest in this organization. At 7:30 the pastor began a series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer, which will be continued for several nights. Last Sunday night his subject was, "Our Father Who Art In Heaven." MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN The teachers and scholars of this Sunday school are manifesting a deep interest in the school and the lesson topics. On each Sunday new faces are observed in the classes. On last Sunday the pastor, Rev. W. S. Midgett, was out of the city and in his absence a prayer and song service was conducted at 11:30 o'clock. The Sunday school severely felt the absence of the pastor. He is the teacher of the Young Men's Class, and his instructions are eagerly sought by his scholars. Mr. Seldon, a member of the Sunday School Council, was present and gave a very interesting talk and brought greetings from the Council. At 3 o'clock, a beautiful cantata, "The Cross of Christ," was presented by the choir for the benefit of the Missionary Circle. Mr. Billups, of Second Calvary Church, was the speaker of the day. He brought out some very interesting points on the cross of Christ. There also were other interesting speakers. USHER BOARD The Metropolitan A. M. E.

The same reason is often advanced in justification of lynching Notice however, that the lynchers do not practice their remedy upon themselves. An intelligent colored woman—a school teacher—was arrested and pined in jail on a charge of vagrancy when she presented herself for registration to vote in Birmingham, Ala. Treason would have been a charge more in keeping with the letter and spirit of the state election laws. The hope of the South is in the young generation which is just now beginning to think and act. We had striking evidence of this fact when four thousand Methodists young people from all over the South, at the Memphis meeting, went on record as declaring that "divisive, unrethertly attitudes a between the races must be displaced by the spirit of generosity, service and mutual respect," and as favoring and recommending that "our church take steps to bring about as far as possible, equal advantages between the races on education, in the administration of the law, in economic matters, and in opportunities for self-advancement." That is going a long way in the right direction by the strongest church influence in the South. "Delays and uncertainties of the law" is given as one explanation of increase of crime among whites.

These residents ask only that the streets in their localities be put in a condition such as will make them passable the year round that the alarm boxes be more conveniently located in their neighborhoods as added protection of their property, and that a few feet of sewerage be laid in a needed section. Any one who has had occasion to attempt to regulate the streets in these sections in recent weeks certainly will agree that the request carried in the petition are modest ones. The city is committed to a policy of public economy for the new year. To the majority of the citizens that policy appears to be the right one in the face of the city's present financial condition. But ways and means always must be found to safeguard property and the health of the people. There is no economy at all in a policy that overloads these hazards. Streets passable for their apparatus at all times of the year, conveniently located fire alarm boxes and property in developed residential sections are absolutely necessary to the safety of the health and property of the people. Council and the City Manager realize this fact, and doubtless will move to do something to relieve the situation complained of.

The Long Arm and High Hand in Alabama The Afro-American population of Birmingham, Alabama, is forty per cent of the whole. The registration of voters began January 1, but so far no Negro has been allowed to register. The discriminatory came to a head last week when "Eligible Little," whether married or single not being indicated by the special dispatched to the New York World, escorted a score of Negroes to the county register's office to have their qualify to vote in coming elections. Register Bowen, who is said to be a leader of the Ku Klux Klan, called a deputy chief of an The Afro-American population of Birmingham, Alabama, is forty per cent of the whole. The registration of votes began January 1, but so far no Negro has been allowed to register. The discrimination came to a head last week when "Elizabeth Little," whether married or single, not being indicated by the special dispatch to the New York World, assorted a score of Negroes to the county register's office to have them qualify to vote in coming elections. Register Bowen, who is said to be a leader of the Ku Klux Klan, called a deputy sheriff and bad Mrs. Little, locked up on a vagrancy charge. He told her the Negroes would not be registered unless they submitted to an "intelligence test," of which he was sole judge. He also told her she had better keep Negroes out of his office until "the registration lists close." One of the Negroes in the group presented to the register by Mrs. Little, said to be a teacher in a college, went from Bowen's office to the Federal Building and protested. An hour later Department agent called on Bowen and demanded access to his records and, it is said, special agents of the Department were promptly sent from Washing-on to Birmingham to take charge of the investigation. If guilty as alleged, Bowen should find it rough shedding with the Federal authorities. A start has got to be made in the brazen ways in which Negroes are prevented from registering and voting, and this Alabama case appears to offer as good one to start with as will probably arise. "Elizabeth. Little," the woman in the case, is said to be the "head of a Negro civic organization." The undue advantage which the South enjoys in the Congress and electoral college because of the virtual suppression of the Negro vote, is a national scandal as well as a menace to the vital interests of the nation, as it comes very near to placing the Presidency and the Congress at the mercy of the Southern Democratic party. The wrong will have to be righted. Justice for the Negro citizen as well as justice to the business interests of the nation demand that it shall be righted. Editorial Page of The Virginia General Assembly Virginia's progress is seriously retarded by the antiquated tax system which bedevils the citizen and discourages the investment of outside capital in the state; by a chaotic governmental administration manifested in multiplication of needless bureaucracy with replicating and overlapping functions; by miles upon miles of dirt roads made almost impassable by sand and dust in summer and in winter; by a treasury deficit amounting to more than $1,000,000, and by an educational system that stands in need of strengthening and expansion. Those are only major aliments which have buried themselves deep in the organic structure of the Commonwealth during the unbroken years of the party rule. There are numerous minor deficiencies as well. The 1926 General Assembly in session at the State Capital is fresh from the people with a mandate to address itself to its utmostility to remedy the evils which throttle the progress of Virginia. The problems which the people expect the legislature to avenge its time to deal with are of such magnitude that they require for solution the oldest thought and the most profound statemanship available in the Old Dominion. The legislative session is brief, just two months—the duties confronting the legislators—the fulfillment of which the people seek demand for enormous. But so we find the rank and file of the legislature giving much time and attention to the major economic issues with which that body is expected to deal at this session? This newspaper thinks not. The majority of bills that have already been introduced in the General Assembly this session are of small moment and plainly show that they are the products of small minds. The red herring of race prejudice already has showed its ugly head in the measures placed in the legislative hopper bill born of religious bigotry will soon follow, it is report d. Plainly it is up to that few statesmen there are in the Virginia General Assembly to save the face of the state from the disgrace that is likely to be served upon it through the enactment of laws of intolerance and bigotry, while the old issues from which small minds naturally quail go untouched. Most issues except race and class issues are too profound and complex for some Virginia legislators.

Undoubtedly Major Trautman's action was perfectly regular in a legalistic sense that unfortunately there is mighty little that can be said to suppor it from a more viewpoint. Its ultimate effect is too indisgrishable from plain confiscation of private property. The busmen have for a long time been with uncertainty as to the continuation of their business. It is only natural under the circumstances that they were reluctant to make outrage for a equipment or maintenance boycott and immediate recessiveness City Manager Trautman's examination of the machines disclosed that a number of men was in a march run-down condition, but did not the dictate of fairly demand that he look long and wise before destroying the single bus operator to secure our recompense for the inevitable loss of his business? The Journal and Guide is of the opinion that the busmen should have accounted for the period of the people on the applied transportation ordinance as expressed in the referendum election forced by the busmen themselves. But it concedes to them the right to protest to every legitimate pressure to preserve their business just so the same right is conceded to every other obstacle their business represents, regardless of from what source the threat of extermination comes. These men were not necessarily hagglers of the city administration or squanders of taxpayers' money simply because they took up and fought for existence. Since the referendum election it has been evident that the busmen were fighting a cause but a losing battle. Victory for the city was assured. Sammally renewing the S of the buses from the streets because of poor mechanical condition thereby automatically making them unsuitable to the traction company under provisions of the unified transportation ordinance seems too much like hitting below the belt because the adversary had the nerve to fight. Was it possible to have dealt in a better spirit of sportsmanship and given the bus operator the most charitable opportunity to get some sort of price for their equipment which the city ordinance makes useless to them? The ordering of IS independent bus-off the streets because of poor mechanical condition by City Manager Trutxun just at the time he did, and in view of all the circumstances confronting the busmen, succed of poor sportsmanship on the part of the city. Undoubtedly Major Truxun's action was perfectly regular in a legal sense, but unfortunately there is mighty little that can be said in supper of it from a moral viewpoint. Its ultimate effect is too indistinguishable from plain confiscation of private property. The busmen have for a long time been freed with uncertainty as to the continuation of their business. It is only annual under the circumstances that they were reluctant to make outages for new equipment or maintenance beyond household necessities. Hence City Manager Tarantino's examination of the machines disclosed that a number of booms was in a much run-down condition. But did not the dictate of fairly demand that he look long and wise before destroying the one chance of a single bus operator to secure next recompense for the inevitable loss of his business? The Journal and Guide is of the opinion that the business should have accorded to the verdict of the people on the implied transportation or in other as expressed in the refundam election forced by the business themselves. But it concedes to them the right to protest to every legitimate resource to preserve their business, in as the same right is conceded to every other established business, regardless of from what source the threat of extermination comes. These men were not necessarily huggles of the city administration or squanders of taxpayers' money simply because they stood up and fought for existence. Since the referendum election it has been evident that the bombsmen were fighting a game but a losing battle. Victory for the city was assured. Summarily removing 18 of the buses from the streets because of poor mechanical condition thereby automatically making them unsuitable to the traction company under provisions of the unified transportation ordinance seem too much like hitting below the belt because the adversary had the nerve to fight. Was it not possible to have dealt in a better spirit of sportsmanship and given the bus operator the most charitable opportunity to get some sort of price for their equipment which the city ordinance makes useless to them? Congressman Langley Goes to Federal Prison There is a lesson in the conviction of every person for infraction of the law, but the higher the person is in the estimation of his fellows, the more significant is the lesson. But few persons learn anything from the misfortunes or the successes of their fellows. They insist upon having the experience themselves at whatever cost that is why men and nations are always going wrong and getting into troubles if hard to get out of. There is such a thing as going by the right and failing; but there is no such thing as going by the left and getting away with it. Those who go wrong and prosper for a season may think they are immune, but their sins find them out. Take the case of John W. Langley.

He served twenty years in Congress from his home district in Kentucky, and was a mem- number of Congress when he was recently convicted in a Federal Court of conspiring to remove liquor from a distillery and sentenced to serve two years in the Atlanta prison, and he has begun his service in the penitentiary hospital, a sick and broken man. He says he is innocent of the conspiracy, but it is true that few who get in trouble will admit that they are responsible for doing so. The criminal who pleads guilty is a rare bird. Congressman Langley has asked his old constituents to elect his wife to succeed him in Congress, and they will probably do so. Negroes in White Publications BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. An article both amazing interesting because it sets for so many ideas notoriously a quoted and discredited concerning the Negro, and at the same time others both seasonal truthful appears in the re The conviction of Congressman Langley will not prevent any one else from attempting to make "easy money." They will continue to try whether in high or low places, whether rich or poor, and the higher they are the more forcible the example and the more acutely they feel the degradation. And they who go wrong always feel that, in some way, they will not be caught, and especially is this true of persons in the high position of Congressman Langley, who imagine that they will have enough influence to shield themselves from the consequences of their crooked acts. But they more often than otherwise deceive themselves. After all is said and done, honesty is the best policy. The maxim is held in high esteem by most Christians, but when it raises their purpose to do so they ignore it and have plenty leisure in prison walls to think it over and count the useful cost. THE GUIDE POST BY RICHARD H. BOWLING Genius and Decency There is an off-review notion that the genius must have outlets for his passions and needs to be applied to appetites which are denied the average man, let the average musician or poet or preacher or artist get into serious moral difficulty and this is his or her excuse. "Will, you know, an artist is naturally temperamental. Genius cannot be subjected to the same requirements of conduct that the rank and title is expected to olay. Look at the great artist such of history. PETER H. BURGESS Did they pay their decesses, never have illicit to flee a town for some.

But we are alive in a new day. And life in this day makes new demands on musicians, poets, painters, actors, as well as preachers, physicians, teachers, heads of large business concerns, the employee of a large corporation, the average professing Christian. Let no man think he can prate biographical nonsense as an excuse for present day indecency and get away with it. The wage workers must be soher. The tempuramentally trained must either restrain or sublimate any artistic impulse away from decency and the simple dictates of morality. All such talk is the simplest nonsense.

Lords of estates, slave owners, burghers and other members of the learned professions, people of leisure generally as well as artists, could do things the ordinary man was not supposed to do.

Let no man think he can prate biographical nonsense as an excuse for present day indecenty and get away with it. The wage workers must be sober. The permanently inclined must either restrain or subliminate any artistic impulse away from decency and the simple dictates of morality.

An article both amazing and interesting because it sets forth so many ideas notoriously antiquated and discredited concerning the Negro, and at the same time others both seasonal and truthful appears in the recent quarterly edition of the "North American Review." It is written by a well known Southern Economist, Professor Roy L. Garis of Vanderbilt University, Mr. Garis entitles his contribution "Misconceptions About The South," and sets himself to the task of correcting these "misconceptions." At the same time he proceeds to dish out some misconceptions in the embodiment of "inherent inability" in the Negro. The writer deplored sectionalism and the lack of knowledge concerning the South of other sections of the country. He then makes the first statement that relates directly to the Negro. "While there are," he says, "many persons in this country even some historians who believe slavery was the cause of the war that raged from 1861 to 1865, yet it and the tariff were but the matches that set them to sectional feelings resulting from divergent economic activities. It is necessary to correct the common erroneous conception of the causes of that unnecessary and costly struggle if one is to understand the South today. The South did not want slavery then, does not want it now and never will want it again, for it realizes that the presence of the Negro has retarded its economic development." The judgment of scholarly historians refutes Professor Garis' opinion that slavery did not cause the war between the states. There is not space in this article to enumerate all the facts of history to support the fact that the cause of the Civil War was the institution of slavery that the South refused to give up. We can however, reach the conclusion from these unstated facts, along with the noted historian, Henry William Elson, Ph.D., Litt. D., first, that the slaveholder dominated the government for many years before the war; second, that the people in general were not in sympathy with him. If then the people, the source of all power, did not approve the slaveholder's rule, why did they not take matters into their own hands, as they had the right and the power to do? It may be answered that they did this eventually. First they defeated the Democratic Party for waging the Mexican War; then they slew the Whig Party for the compromise measures. But such mild treatment was ineffective, and the people, seeing that heroic measures were necessary, founded a new political party, based on the non-existence of slavery and elected their Presidents. (Lincoln.) This was a judge that the extension of slavery must cease; and this the slaveholder could not censure—hence came the war. "Some say that the war arose from the different interpretations of the Constitution on the question of state sovereignty, which called state rights. But what caused this difference of interpretation? Slavery " "Others say a session caused the war. Very true; but what caused session? Slavery. "Still others will say that the election of Lincoln brought about secession and war. But why was Lincoln objectionable to the South, except in account of his views and the attitude of his party on slavery? The Kansas-Nebraska law, the Dred Scott decision, the Border strife in Kansas, each played its part in hastening the war, but they were all slavery questions. In short, all the various causes that converged to bring about the dangerous conflict may be summed up into one sweeping cause of causes—slavery. It is not true however, that the Southern people, the great majority of whom were not slave owners, fought through the war to maintain slavery. They fought for separation, believing it best for their future, because of their estrangement from the North—but it was slavery that caused the e-strangement." In the words of Mr. Elena, a recognized historian, we have expressed the judgment of at least a majority of thinking people. Before such positive argument it is hardly necessary to speak of Mr. Garis' idea that economic causes brought the war. However, we again agree with a bishop's note when he says: "In a remote sense, climatic and economic conditions, which rendered slave labor remunerative at the South and not at the North, may be said to have Saturday, January 30, 1926 FROM SUPERMAN TO MAN I am not going to give a review of this well known book. The caption is simply to call attention to a curious incident in my own classroom. I am conducting a course in Negro problems. At present the class is familiarizing itself with the leader The caption is simply to call attention to a curious incident in my own class room. I am conducting a course in Negro problems. At present the class is familiarizing itself with the leading books and authors bear- he other authors' reading on the subject. On Thursday morning I assigned to a member of the class the book, "From Superman To Man" to be presented the next day. On Friday morning just before the recitation period, a gentleman knocked at my recitation door who proved to be more other than Mr. J. A. Rogers, the well known author of the book in question. To my great pleasure and delight, I found that he was willing to spare the time to present his own work to the delight and benefit of the class. When I made the assignment there was not the remotest idea in my mind as to the presence or whereabouts of the author. Such an unexpected and lucky confluence of circumstances may well be called romantic. The glass found Mr. Rogers to be a thoroughly informed and a most interesting man. The story of his look was presented in a most interesting and interesting matter. The author himself is simple and unassuming, direct and straight forward in his amity and presentation. "From Super Man to Man" has been widely syndicated and published in a number of leading Negro papers. It is one of the most interesting and valuable contributions to the literature of the new problem. Mr. Rogers was also good enough to relate something of his experience during his recent travels in Europe which have been published in the Negro press. In the current issue of the Literary Digest will be found an interesting poem, entitled, "Not Forgetting Paul Lawrence Dunbar." This poem is by Sonfield Thayer, editor of the Diab and appears in the January issue of that literary journal. I am deeply struck with this tribute because its appreciation rests upon Dunbar's pure art of poetry without reference to his dialect or Negro themes. "Poets I have loved so deeply Poets I have loved so long. It goes on to speak of the laur of April and the terror of June, of day and of dark. In all of these salubri poetries, Durbar was superb. This Negro poet was so widely famous for his dialect, description of Negro life we often overlook the excellence of his pure and unadulged poetry. Mr. Durbar stayed in my home in Washington before he was married. He often re- counted to me the temptation to tongue the mere song for dialect. His white admirers were all the time insisting that he give them more and more of the dialect. The Negro is always expected to be funny. The white man never of him as long as he is cancel the wart but these conditions would have brought no war without slavery. . . . unless it must be admitted that no people are capable of adjusting in right proportion the relations of the great opposing tensions. Nationality and Democracy, without bloodhed." The last statement in the quotation from Prof. Garis asserted that the "Negro has returned to (the South)'s) economic development." "However," Prof. Garis proceeds, "the Negro is coming into his own by the gradual spread of mechanical and technical training, and by patiently teaching him scientific farming and how to care. His future is largely in the sphere of agriculture rather than in the factory. Realizing this, every facility is being granted him for the acquisition of lands to cultivate. In the twenty years from 1900 to 1920 the number of Negro farms is increased more rapidly than the number of white farmers; the average of land operated by white farmers decreased while that operated by Negro farmers increased slightly; the value of farm land and buildings owned by whites increased 340 per cent, while that owned by Negros increased 540 per cent; and the number of Negro farm owners increased 16 per cent, as contrasted with an increase of 13 per cent. In the white owners of farms. In 1921 there were 41,154,042 acres of land cultivated by 824,868 Negro farmers in the South." Dr. Miller believes that when the race produces a poet like Dunbar, a painter like Tanner or a singer like Hugs, such indications of genius will go farther towards bringing about the brotherhood of men than all the propaganda a and preachments upon which we so fondly rely." We have no reason to believe that race prejudice will soon give way on the lower plane of flesh and blood, but in the higher domain of music, poetry and art, it finds no place for lodgement, declares Dr. Kelly Miller. "The fact of the blood tie of the artist is of various interest to those of whose breed he is and whose blood he bears, but his genius belongs to mankind," he adds. anusing. But he hesitates to take him seriously. Mr. Dean Howell said that perhaps several other poets at the time might have equified Dunbar in unadoyed verse, but that he stood in a class by himself when it came to the portrayal of his race in poetic dialect. In this domain he remains to this day, not only unexcelled, but uninviled. But he has also given us genius in English undefiled which will live with the language. All of which goes to show that genius transcends all boundaries and barriers of race, and appeals to the universal heart. This recognition of Dunbar by such an orient literary authority as the editor of the *Dial* is a tribute which greatly delights the heart of his wide circle of admirers which will increase as the years go by. This incident illustrates and enforces the mission of Roland Hayes, as I tried to set forth in my last release. It is not wise to circumscribe or confine genius by the narrow limits of race. To grieve the artistic spirit by the parishild requirements of race prejudice and proscription is the one artistic sin that cannot be forgiven. We have no reason to believe that race prejudice will soon give way or the lower plane of flesh and blood, but in the higher domain of music, poetry and art, it finds no place for lodgement. Thomas Nelson Page once said to me that when he read Dumas he was absolutely unconscious of his race or blood. Turn it’s pictures hang in the art galleries of the world. The fact of the blood ties of the artist is of enormous interest to those of whose breed he is and whose blood he bears, but his genius belongs to monkind. It is human nature to get as near to greatness and glory as possible. The English love to claim Shakespeare, the French Moliere, the Italian, Dante and the German, Goethe. But their racial and national ties are merely incidental. The statue of Shakespeare was not disturbed in Berlin during the world war. Unfortunately religion has divided men and races and nations, science and art have tended to unite them. Whenever the despised Negro race produces a poet like Dunbar, a mainer like Tanner or a singer like Hayes such indications of genius will go further towards bringing about the brotherhood of man than all of the propaganda and preachments upon which we so fondly rely. There is springing up a All of which is very commendable to the Negro. But does not in an that his field is to be combined to agriculture rather than to the factory, except by barriers imposed by the factory owners intended to keep him out. Nor does it mean that the Negro cannot contribute something to the arts, to music, literature, journalism, science, and to the whole field of human activity; for he is, and by his own talent, and by the increasing tendency to offer him a chance to display these talents, he has a distinct contribution to offer America and the world. Some Newspaper History We are informed, and we think reliably, that the "Reference" is a direct child of oppression. We are told that some years ago a white paper in the town of Littleton, N. C. was kind enough to give space to Negroes for weekly accounts of their doings. It happened of course, that in the "write up," some colored ladies came in for public mention, and the reporter wrote their names with Miss and Mrs, prefixed. When the article failed to appear and the reporter sought to know the reason why he was told, of course, that that paper could not publish the school of young Negro artists in the several domains of art. They are attracting the literary attention of the nation. Every encouragement should be given them. They help enrich the blood of the world which course through the veins of all without distinction of bloom. I notice that Frank Glenn, the former editor of the *Contemporary Magazine*, now president of the University of Wisconsin, syndicates a daily article to a chain of news papers throughout the United States. How can he snatch time from the busy duties of the presidency of one of the most active and progressive universities in America to indulge these daily editorsials in a marvel to his admirers. These editorsials are short, pointed and crisp. This requires all the more time and sustained labor. Those who have had experience in composition know, not only that brevity is the art of wit but that it imposes the hardest tax and task upon wit. I find that a weakly contribution makes no little drain upon the mental strength and resource of one otherwise engaged in intellectual pursuits. Facility comes, however with time and experience. Mr. Glenn is one of the most forceful writers in America. He deserves to rank with Bri-bane and Crane for the fertility and felicity of his production. But there is this great difference. Brisbane and Crane are journalists. Glenn's editorsials are written with the left hand. Journalism today is the chief agency in teaching and influencing the minds and conduct of men. Frank Glenn is undoubtedly as effective through his editorials as he is through the management of a great university. There he reaches but a few thousands at most, but the editorials are read by the millions. It is interesting to note how the Negro press in the past decade has become the voice of the race, and the channel through which the mind and imagination can be reached and influenced. The form has become dignified so that no writer need feel ashamed to present his views through their columns. At one time the Negro newspaper was presented in bad type and poor proof reading that no writer who cared for his reputation would care to contribute to them. But today there are at least half dozen Negro newspapers whose make up, typographical appearance subject matter and manner of treatment will compare favorably with the best edited white journals. This is indeed a great sign of progress. The white people will be forced more and more to read the Negro newspapers to keep up with what they are thinking and doing. If the young ambitious Negro would use the same diligence and effort to prepare worth while matters for the Negro press as they do for an occasional appearance in the white journals, the intellectual expression of the race would be greatly facilitated. The Negro will not be allowed to express himself in white channels of publication except along lines laid down and approved by the white race. We must look to the Negro press to find the true soul of the race turned across side out. names of Negro women with Miss and Mrs. prefixed. It was then that the colored people of Littleton were moved to begin a publication of their own and Mr. Young, a resident of Littleton was soon issuing a small folio called the "Tree Re- formers." The paper grew in popularity and was prosperous under that name for some years. Then the publisher moved to Durham, N. C., from which city the paper was issued under the name "The Durham Reimers." After some years of continues growth there, the paper was purchased from Mr. Young by promoters of religious interests in North Carolina, and published under its present name. Rev G. W. Watkins was one of the first editors of the "Volume Reformer." Rev. J. W. Ligot of fellow him, running the paper with the aid of some others who were interested in the denomination, and functioning as stock holders. Rev. G. A. Mulot out present Circulation Manager, has been with "The Reformer" since before it was removed from Dickleton. Fellowing the decrease of Rev J. W. Ligor of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina purchased, and is now the sole owner of the Union Reformer. Being a child of oppression, why should not the paper, like the thirteen original colonies, not only continue to grow, but enjoy increased admiration of Negroes in the state, as the years go by?
