DURKEE MAY RESIGN POST AT HOWARD PRESIDENT Follow The Guide It Leads to Progress VOL. XXVI No. 7 PRESID DURK U.N.I.A. HEAD MUST SERVE MORE TIME President Said To Have Based Decision On Opinion That Garvey Not Yet Sufficiently Punished MAY RENEW APPEAL IN ANOTHER YEAR Washington, D. C., Feb. 11—Marcus Garvey, self-styled "Provisional president of Africa," must serve at least one-third of his term of five years in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., before he will be granted executive clenomery. His application was denied as premature by President Coolidge. Would Have Been Deported In his petition for executive clemency, Garvey had requested permission to remain in the United States for 90 days after his release to transact "important business." This request had been denied by Assistant Secretary of Labor Husband, who declared that Garvey could not remain for any period unless exceedingly "important business" should be proved. A warrant for his deportation had been issued and he would have been immediately deported to the British West Indies, if his sentence had been commuted. Not Sufficiently Punished Officials of the Department of Justice said that the President's denial of Garvey's application for executive clemency was based upon the belief that Garvey had not served a sufficient portion of his sentence to justify his release. Ordinarily, the service of one-third of the term is required before the President will grant commutation. Reports that the British Government had protested against returning Garvey to the West Indies could not be confirmed. Authority for his deportation is found in his conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude within five years after his arrival in this country. LARGE CROWD HEARS WALTER WHITE SPEAK Tells of Several Cases Before The Courts In Which Civil Rights Are Involved. And Of N. A. A. C. P. Interest. Walter F. White, of New York, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke at First Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon under auspices of the local branch of the association. Mr. White talked on "Race Conditions" and gave a recital of the several cases pending before the courts in which the civil and human rights of the race are involved and in which the N. A. A. C. P. is interested. He told details of the famous Sweet case of Detroit, of the Helen Curtis and Corrigan versus Buckley case, of the Texas Primary case and of several other case in which the colored people of this country are deeply interested. A large crowd was out to hear the speaker, whose address was intensely interesting from start to finish. Mr. White, although a dispassionate speaker is charming and auspicious and the crowd did not tire of hearing him. The meeting was staged for the purpose of launching a big membership drive for the N. A. A. C. P., and for the purpose of augmenting the local legal defense fund. Quite a number of persons joined the association and approximately $75.00 was raised for the defense fund. Norfolk Journal and Guide MARCUS GARVEY DID NOT APPROVE ENTIRE BUS PLAN Colored Citizens Deny They Gave Assent To Rule That Would Restrict Them To Two Routes. Newspaper reports following a conference Monday morning between City Manager Truxtun and a number of colored citizens on the bus situation were misleading, according to a statement printed below and signed by the eight men who were invited to the conference. Particular exception is taken to the statement by City Manager Truxtun that in putting the unified plan in operation, "fearful consideration was given to the desire of the colored people to have their lines operated for their exclusive use and by colored drivers, and the white people to have their line reserved for white passengers." The implication in this statement, the men declare, commits them to a principle which they do not approve, and which they objected to in the conference with the City Manager. The statement follows: "With reference to the conference of the undersigned with the City Manager on the bus question, the statement by Mr. Truxtun as given to the public, unfortunately carries the implication that we gave our approval to his proposal that in the operation of the unified transportation system colored patrons be confined solely to the use of routes six and ten. Particularly do we wish to direct attention to the City Manager's statement that "careful consideration was given to the desire of the colored people to have their lines operated for their exclusive use and by colored drivers and the white people to have their lines reserved for white passengers." If Mr. Truxtun arrived at such a conclusion during the discussion of the subject with us he gained an entire misconception of our attitude in the matter and of the needs of approximately forty per cent of the patrons of the unified transportation system. "It is true that during the discussion leading up to the adoption of the ordinance by Council the Colored Bus Association used every means at its command to preserve (Continued on Page Six) JOURNAL AND GUIDE In New York The Journal and Guide is on sale at the following places in New York City, where it may be obtained by readers and other news-dealers: JOSEPH JOHNSON 107 West 135th Street EUGENE PHILLIPS S.

EVENT IN HONOR OF LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS Indications point to an enthusiastic observance of Trade Week here, which will be formally launched Friday night. February 12, in a monster celebration of Lincoln and Douglass anniversaries at Morumental A. M. E. Church, under auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., who is also sponsoring the observance through the week. A large number of concerns and organizations have indicated their intentions of cooperating in the event by announcements placed in the special Trade Week section of this newspaper. G. W. C. Brown, of the local N. A. A. C. P., who is heading the committee on arrangements, has been on the field most of the week interviewing merchants and others, and has succeeded in stimulating considerable interest in the event. Mr. Brown is mainly responsible for the promised success of the movement. Trade Week is planned to call attention of the colored citizens to the value and worth of their local enterprises, and to stimulate the enterprises themselves to better service; impress the principles of thrift upon the people; to foster the ideals of health, sanitation, cooperation, and in general, better living. The local N. A. A. C. P. officials have felt that there could be no better time to launch an event having such essential ends in view than in connection with the observance of the anniversary of two patients whose lives played such an important part in making possible the privilege of inspiring and acquiring such essentials to the race, hence making the reconciliation of physical freedom stimulate the people toward a larger economic freedom. A large crowd is expected to turn out Friday night, when an attractive program will be presented, appropriately arranged for the occasion. NO CHANGE IN POLICY OF THE D-P STORES Will Continue To Employ Large Amount Of Colored Labor, And Improve Service In All Neighborhoods. The considerable number of families of modest means that experienced a feeling of uneasiness when the announcement was made several weeks ago that the D. P.ender Grocery Company had been acquired by New York interests, may dispel from their minds whatever anxiety they might have entertained as to the future policy of the D. P. Stores through assurances given the Journal and Guide this week by Mr. L. H. Windholz, the new general manager of the company, representing the New York buyers, that the policy of the stores will remain unchanged as to the quality of goods sold and economy prices obtaining therein, except where it may be possible to make improvements. In the D. Pender system there are more than 200 chain stores scattered through Tidewater, Virginia, and eastern North Carolina; a vast wholesale department; mammoth bakery and numerous other adjuncts to a large grocery enterprise, but the average housewife and family head is interested mainly in the Yellow From store, just around the corner. The distance between these stores and the family table is only a few blocks generally; so regardless of the intricate system through which the NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1926 Anti-Aircraft Gun And Inventor THE MISSING MAN Detroit, Mich.----Above is pictured Robert Blair, with the new type anti-aircraft gun which he designed.

CAPITATION TAX TOTALS $30,000 The real and personal property holdings of the colored people of Norfolk exceeds that of any other city in Virginia, including Richmond, according to records of the state auditor of public accounts. These records show the total assessed value of real and personal property of Negroes in this city to be $3,379,620. The Norfolk figures exceed those for the capital city by more than a million dollars, the sum for that city being $4,133,950.00. The holdings of the colored people here as assessed for taxation are more than those of Lynchburg, Roanoke, Suffolk and Danville combined, and equal to the combined assessed holdings of the Negroes of Newport News and Petersburg, and two and a half million more than that of Portsmouth, or nearly doubling it. The colored population of Richmond is still a good deal larger than that of Norfolk which is indicated in the capitation tax assessment for the two cities. Richmond Negroes' capitation tax assessment totals $75,671.00, while that of Norfolk is $30,178.50. The aggregate real and personal holdings of the colored people of the nine Virginia cities amounts to $22,061,497.00. Their combined poll tax assessment is $111,910.00. The following table shows the assessed valuations of these holdings by cities. NORFOLK ----- $5,373,620.00 Portsmouth ----- 2,947,855.00 Newport News ----- 2,241,130.00 Richmond ----- 1,433,950.00 Petersburg ----- 2,292,950.00 Lynchburg ----- 1,782,105.00 Roanoke ----- 1,357,526.00 Suffolk ----- 571,377.00 Danville ----- 1,180,814.00 BOYS' CLUB GETS LARGE HOME ON WASHINGTON AV.

RCUS G HOW Death Ends Career 'FATHER' MILLER DIES FOLLOWING A LONG ILLNESS Founder And Head Of Children Of Israel Order Succumbs In His 82nd Year; Funeral Sunday. Rev. A. A. Miller, (Father Miller) died at his home on Goff street Monday night at 8:30 o'clock in his 82nd year, following an illness covering nearly four years. His funeral will be held at St. John's A. M. E. Church Sunday at 1:30 o'clock, Rev. J. A. Young, the pastor, saying the last rites. Father Miller had been a member of St. John's for more than 60 years. He was a native of this city and spent his entire life time here. With Norfolk's progress, its institutions and traditions he was virtually a part, and his faithful memory up until his illness had proved a source of information for the younger generation wont to hear of old Norfolk from the lips of one who had grown up with the city. Remarkable Career Father Miller's career probably was as unique and remarkable as that of any man living in Virginia today. Some 21 years ago, he founded the fraternal order of the Children of Israel, upon his own idea that there ought to be a fraternal society which would set practically no limitations upon membership eligibility so that the weak, the forsaken, the deserget, and the afflicted might have the protection of their fellowmen in the time of their direst distress. Upon that idea, which he often said came to him from God, he started his Order with a very low joining fee and small dues. It was a success from the beginning and today operates in the states of New York, Virginia and North Carolina and has a membership of approximately 3000. It has adhered closely to the idea of its founder, who was at its head at the time of his death. Called Father So Samaritan-like did Rev. Miller's organization work, so much good did it do in the community, that it seems that its very good was reflected in the life of the old man; he became sanctity and the people called him father. He died with the appellation Father Miller, which was also the title given him as head of his society. Throughout the 22 years existence of the Children of Israel, Father Miller's followers remained ever loyal to him. In his declining years they had compassion on him and presented him with his Goff street residence, and each year at the annual conventions he was made the recipient of gifts to help sustain him in his old age. Often the remark was heard around the streets, "anybody can get into the Children of Israel". Some might have made this remark out of an attempt to deride the lodge, but it was in reality a tribute to Father Miller and his associates in that it showed unmistakably that his interest was solely the interest of humanity.

Stanley Durkee will likely tender his resignation as president of Howard University to be effective at the close of the present school year to become pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn, N.

POWER COMPANY ANNOUNCES BUS OPERATING PLAN Additional Service Will Be Provided On All Routes As Rapidly As Circumstances Permit. The Virginia Electric and Power Company has announced important features of operation under the unified transportation ordinance now in effect. These features constitute a plan worked out by the City Manager, according to the power company officials, and upon conclusions reached by him after investigation. Two Bus Routes The colored bus routes, according to the announcement, are Nos. 6 and 10. No 6 operates over the old 18th and Church street line, except that it does not touch Church street at any point other than the block or so from Main to Union. The route returns from Lindenwood down O'Keeffe street, just as it goes out, and not from C avenue to Washington, down Church street as formerly. Route 10 begins at Park avenue and runs west along Princess Anne road to Hampton boulevard to Norfolk and Western railroad. This route formerly operated only in the mornings and afternoons, but is now operated all day and is extended along Princess Anne road to Park avenue, thus providing convenient service for residents of Douglass Park and school children. School Tickets School tickets will be received upon busses as they are upon street cars, and may be obtained from the company's office on Plume street in books of 40 for $1.00 upon certificate from the school authorities. Routes No. 6 and 10 will interchange transfers. Route No. 6 will transfer to cars on East Brambleton avenue at Chapel street, going east or west. This route also transfers to street cars for Brambleton, Atlantic City, Chesterfield Heights, River View, South Norfolk, Money Point, Campostella, Union Station, Redgate avenue and Weyanoke lines going east and west. Main and Church streets is the transfer point.

HOSPITAL BOARD REFUTES RUMORS ABOUT DONATIONS Tidewater Officials Deny Alleged Reports That Management Is Adverse to Accepting Contributions. The board of trustees of Tidewater Hospital in a statement given the press this week, states that there are rumors ahead to the effect that the hospital management is adverse to accepting donations toward its work for humanity, which rumors the board refutes through the columns. The statement which is published below defines the position of the board in the matter: "It has come to our attention that certain people are broadcasting the misinformation that the Tidewater management is adverse to accepting donations toward its work for humanity. We are not in a position to know who may be responsible for such rumors but that state most emphatically that such is not true. "The fact is we have on one or two occasions been made offers of certain donations on such conditions that we could not accept the offered aid. "We are glad to receive anything the public may see, fit to give at any time and will be glad to send or call it, provided there are no strings tied to the donation." "We are good to accept old newspapers, old clothes, groceries, linens and anything else that will aid us in taking care of a large number of patients who are wrestling coming to us and are not able to pay fully their fees for hospital service. Our hospital is now about to celebrate its 10th year of service for the community and feels that the community should know enough about the work it is doing to take a deeper interest in the efforts it is putting forth for the help of humanity.

Last of all came the mothers, weeping mothers, mothers who through blinding tears, sought the light of guidance for those young lives entrusted to their care. These women, realized that they have the power of the universe in their hands; yet so many women accept the task libly. Wifthood and motherhood are two of the biggest jobs in the world, still they are open to every novel, and are many times entered into without any serious thought or preparation. Small wonder that the Javeneil and Divorce Courts are crowded. There are so many, mothers who have drunk too deep of the Fountain of Youth and who are making the mistake of living down to their children, instead of having their children, live up to them. They adopt the youngsters' manners, clothes and cosmetics and then deplace the fact that modern youth is lacking in respect to its elders. Parents should look well and dress attractively, but they should lend to their youthful appearance, the dignity of maturity; to do less is merely to anticipate second childhood. This problem of the so-called mad, bad youth of today is essentially a mother problem.

Brick led A, and T. all the way and it looked as if Brick was going to win; until Streeter uncovered a field goal by slipping by Taylor in the last few seconds of play. Brick has the better team of the two. Their passing and accurate shooting was far superior to that of the "Farmers". Brick's inability to shoot fouls spelled their doom. While the "Farmers" made all their points on fouls with the exception of two field goals by Streeter.

THE BALLYHOO IS ON Some sport lovers are probably unjustly sceptic about mythical football teams, and all mythical picks for that matter. Whether or not their prejudices are warranted is a matter for conjecture. Anon comes Mr. Edgar G. Brown, the ex-tennis champion, with his favorite "First Ten," doubtless a choice made only after considerable measurement of the capabilities of these several players. Mr. Brown has given to fans of the netted court game a skillfully-made pick of players who, the ex-champion thinks, represent the best racketeers of our race. The gold West, the land of wide open spaces, seems to have been rather attractive and tempting when Mr. Brown composed this mythical tennis rating. Six of the ten "favorite sons" were cut out of the country behind the Alleghenys, which fact helps to prove that boys from the West are fast adapting themselves to the style of play so often and diligently advocated by our friend, the champ of 1922 and 1923—the scientific American driving game.

C____0 2 GRANE'S ICE MAN JOB FAKE It is claimed that Red Grange's iceman job was only a publicity stunt and one of the series of other things to aid in exploiting the famous red head as the greatest football player of the age. According to a release from reliable sources, these things had been carefully planned by C. C. Pyle, Grange's manager, and were underway about two years ago. Dr. Harry A March, secretary and Tim Mara, owner of the New York professional football team said that Pyle had admitted the facts to them and another man, who was president of the National Football League during the meeting. Plans to cash in on Grange's fame had been made before the galloping ghost had romped merrily in the Michigan game. It is claimed that the ice wagon job was only a part of the clever publicity stunt. In an effort to save other knights of the gridiron from being the object of double-barreled assaults, the professional football league adopted a rule prohibiting any player from participating in professional games until his class at college had finished. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Our library contains about thirty volumes of Negro literature and history and it is the earnest desire of the faculty and student body to have not less than 200 volumes. During our library drive December 28-January 15, cards were sent to a number of our citizens asking for books, from which we have no response. If they have been overlooked we hope this article will be a reminder. There is no more fitting way to celebrate the Negro literature and history week than by donating a copy of Negro literature to your high school library. Do your bit. MICHAEL B.

But the name of Worde, Kenneth by baptism, of the Worde and Worde Co. championship team of New Jersey, might easily furnish a subject of bitter debate, but we are not inviting controversy over such a trivial matter. Kenneth is a mighty fine player and rightfully deserves a place in the choice, having conquered one of the ranking players in the East-West matches which it was generally understood, would have no hearing on the ratings. Very modestly, Mr. Brown omitted his name altogether from the scroll of honor.

NOSE OUT OVER BRICKS --- THE LINEUP NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE HAMPTON TAKES SECOND GAME FROM SEMINARY HAMPTON TAKES SECOND GAME FROM SEMINARY Hampton, Va., Feb. 6—For the second time this season, the Dragons of Virginia Seminury laid down their arms before Hampton's Blue and White rush, this time on the latter's court in decidedly the most thrilling game seen here since the Seasiders began caging work early this winter. At the mid-rest period Hampton had amassed the better end of a 19-4 score, but before the last whistle the Dragons had brought up their end nine points while Hampton claimed the evening at 26-13. Immediately after the tap-off, Wheatle fouled on Hargrove who put the shimputes into a 1-0 lead, but Wheatle retaliated when he received a beautiful pass from Bates and let the sphere rattle through the strings. Hove Hargrove came through with another goal from the floor followed by "Savage" Brown with a free throw to ulace the Seasiders ahead, 4-2, Redd, Seminary's flashy forward, cashed in with a beautiful long shot to even up the count. The Dragons had seen their best moments. Lambright with two goals from the planks, and Hargrove with one put the heraldic beast in the rear where the final whistle found it. Alexander and Captain Jones who had been observing from the sidelines were ushered in, and the former quickly tolled with a shot. Hargrove accounted for three points, "Cutie" Brown and Baker two each, to complete the aggressive work for the half. In a fast and rough preliminary the Work-Year class defeated the Seniors 9-8 Substitutions: Hampton—Baker Alexander, Thorne, Jones, Davenport, Tucker and McGowan. Seminary—Hoyle and Brown.

Stores (Continued From Page One) poor young man and began his career as a grocery clerk on Brewer street; how he later borrowed a modest sum and started a store for himself; how that one store, no more pretentions than the average store in its surroundings at that time, has grown to the great D. P. System of today valued at several million dollars, form a charming story. It has been told over and over again, yet never ceases too be inspiring; but even that beautiful story holds not the interest for the thrifty-minded or the poorer class of people as does the neighborhood D. P. Storez and the D. P. Prices. Mr. Pender may have built the vast grocery organization upon trade secrets known only to him self coupled with his extra-ordinary business acumen, but in his chain stores there can be observed daily one of his main secrets of success, which is in fact no secret at all because it is constantly exposed. That is "service." The Yellow Front stores have gained their wide popularity upon the idea carried in that single word. In fact that thing, "service", is so patentably a part of the operation of these stores that any child old enough to go to the one in its neighborhood for a loaf of bread feels it may be without even understanding Clerk's Courteous The clerks in the D. P. stores are so uniformly courteous and attentive that the question is frequently asked, how is it that the Pender management always seems to be able to place in every one of his stores in colored neighborhood men who apparently possess a natural ease among colored people and who can so readily make these people feel an atmosphere of welcome in the stores? Then, there is public confidence which counts so heavily in the success of the D. P. System. No mother feels the least apprehensive about sending the smallest child to one of the stores to make a purchase so long as she is assured the clerk can be made to understand what the child wants, because the fact is well-known that the very article wanted will be sent, exact weight, measure and quality, absolutely correct change returned. Probably not enough people actually realize how important this is in any retail business. Children can quickly turn their parents against people and things, and when a tiny and timid child is waited on in its turn, regardless of how many customers there may be in the store such as is the policy of D. P. stores, and returns to its parents in due time, the parent's confidence in the store is cinched. For the seven years the D. P. chain stores have been in operation here, they have proved a boon to many of the poorer families. Everybody in Norfolk is familiar with the sanitary and attractive arrangement of the goods in the D. P. Stores; everybody is familiar with D. P. service and even though these things may obtain more generally throughout the city than in former years, the D. P. chain store system led the way for their coming wherein is found the greatest benefit the stores have brought the community System Sold The entire Pender system was acquired by Colvin and Company of New York, several weeks ago, according to newspaper announcement. Mr. Pender still retains an active part in the management of the affairs of the company. He has been a large employer of colored labor, it is said, he has paid good wages and toward whom he maintained a generous attitude. The new owners, through Mt. Windholz will carry out the same policy. Mt. Windholz himself expressing a keen interest in everything for the benefit of all the people here. That there will be constant enlargements of the system a and steady improvements in the D. P. service is assured by the new general manager, and the uptown citizens may content themselves with the assurance that their interest is included in all future plans of the company under its new owners, according to Mr. Windholz's statement. M. Louetta Chatman Again Scores The recital given last Monday by Madam Chatman under the auspices of the Woman's League No. 1 and the Woman's League No. 1 at Zion Baptist Church, Portsmouth was a great success.

In accordance with instructions received from the City Manager in granting to this company the permit to operate under the unified bus-street car ordinance, we have put into effect the provisions of the ordinance. The ordinance made the following changes in routes: The above plan marks the first real step in supplying unified bus-street car transportation and which was worked out in accordance with the City Manager's instructions and along the lines of his statement which is quoted in part below: "Careful consideration was given to the desire of the colored people to have their lines operated for their exclusive use and by colored drivers, and the white people to have their lines reserved for white passengers. The company consented to this arrangement and has employed colored drivers for the colored lines, which are routes 6 and 10. These two lines will exchange transfers with each other and the street car lines, such transfers being issued to or received from colored passengers only. The white busses will be reserved for white passengers." Through the medium of co-ordinated service we are hopeful that Norfolk's transportation problems can be satisfactorily worked out. We are experiencing a great deal of trouble in trying to put and keep the busses which we took over from the former owners in safe operating condition, but we are doing our best to provide satisfactory service. We are grateful for the confidence placed in us and we pledge ourselves to do all that we can to build up a transportation system which will best serve our community. We ask a continuance of your sympathetic cooperation. ```markdown ``` Route No. 6 Operates Beginning at Union Street and Commercial Place, thence along Commercial Place Main Street, Fenchurch Street, Wood Street, Chapel Street, Washington Street, 'Keefe Street, Avenue "C", Barre Street, returning same route to Church and Main streets, thence along Church street, Union Street to Union and Commercial Place, the point of beginning.

D., formerly of Norfolk, Vn., as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church here which was in progress for a fortnight was crowned successfully. Each service was marked-with enthusiasm and the sermons were most instructive. The program was in charge of the Ministers' Conference of Newark and vicinity. Among the notable ministers who appeared in program wore Jones, Wright, Buckner, Hargraves, Alexander, Proctor, Watkins, Beverly, Collins, Travis, Richards and others. Simultaneously with the close of the ceremonies, Rev. Long enters Upsala College of East Orange looking to his master's degree. This has been a long cherished hope on the part of Rev. Long, who as a young man and an educated leader, advocates education among his young people in the highest achievements. Upsala is a high class Swedish college with only three Negroes attending, Rev. Long being one of the three. Calvary Church in particular, and the city and environs of East Orange, in general, have taken on new life and meaning under his vigorous touch and progressive influence. The people here expect great things ahead, inspiring leadership. The entire community has already felt the presence of the new pastor who ignores no opportunity for his people and himself. Race Relations Day Sunday, Race Relation Day, Rev. Long will exchange pulpits with Rev. J. W. McDonald, pastor of Brookdale Baptist Church, Bloomfield, N. J., which will constitute Rev. Long's first appearance before a purely white congregation since being a pastor. Rev. Long also recently invited to the pulpit of Zion Baptist Church, of Philadelphia, made vacant by the death of its pastor. This invitation was extended purely upon his reputation as a fearless and successful leader, as he has no personal acquaintances with any member of the church. Zion Church is one of the oldest and strongest churches in the East. During the last week in February, Rev. Long will deliver a series of revival sermons to St. Paul Church, Springfield, IL. He is a fine example of the abilities of the young men and women who have the "stuff" in them and threes to do it "37 years later." The distinction having been in the pastorate for 15 years, standing at the head of some of our leading churches of our leadingville, Va., Bank Street Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va., and his present charge, the Calvary Baptist Church, East Orange, N. J. His greatest comfort springs from the help and inspiration he has already given many young men during their struggle in college. Father Miller Dies Following A Long Illness (Continued from Page One) The Children of Israel hold pompous annual meetings and parade the streets in Gauley uniforms, but Father Miller is more in mold it the principles of Christianity that it has come to be one of the respected fraternal organizations. It is open to both sexes, its founder knowing no sex in his idea of serving mankind. He was uneducated, which makes it all the more remarkable that he could mold such a large following. Became Feeble Lately In late years the old man was seen to move about the streets feebly. He kept his courage, however, always serene in the feeling that his life had been usefully devoted. His death removes from the community one of its institutions. He was known the length and breadth of the city; in New York and in North Carolina where his Order has subordinate lodges. His bene-factions, the most unnoticed, were numerous and to one could pass him on the streets, if they knew him, without handing him that familiar greeting, "Howdy Father." He was the only head of the Children of Israel ever had, and his wife, Mrs. Julia Miller, who survives him, is an author known as another Miller. The influence of his work, done in his own way, is felt upon the life of city and will be for years to come. Many Survivors Pather Miller is survived by, either than his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Elnora Perkins, Mrs. Mary L. Brown, Mrs. Addie Sharp, two sons, W. W. and Samuel Miller, all of Norfolk, and 61 grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The deceased also was a member of the Masonics and Knights of Jerusalem, both of which will represent at the funeral. Did Not Approve Entire Bus Plan (Continued from Page One) its entity as a transportation unit. Naturally representations were made that the colored bus owners desired to continue ownership and operation of their properties as independents. It was from these representations doubtless that Mr. Truxtun gathered the impressions to which he gave expression in his statement that he believed then as now in the justice of the bus owners' plaas an economic principle, but their plaas was rejected, and in the adoption of the unified transportation ordinance the whole transit system is materially changed, both in geographical and legal aspects. If a rule based upon the City Manager's public statement were to be enforced it is patent that there would be times when colored citizens would be deprived altogether from using a public utility. The question of the intermingling of the races did not enter into our objections, as there is no law to cover the same stature that applies to the separation of the races in street cars being efficient in the matter of other common carriers. We do not see the justice, therefore, of virtually closing common carriers on certain public thoroughfares to colored citizens when no other means of transportation are available. Respectfully, "E.

A number of the old buses are now undergoing extensive overhauling and several new ones have been ordered, state the officials, and additional service will be provided on all routes as rapidly as circumstances permit.

BANK STREET CHURCH STARTS MEMBER DRIVE Historic House Of Worship Campaigns For Christians Without Church Affiliations Bank Street Baptist Church has launched a campaign for 200 members. This church realizes that there are thousands of Negroes in this city who are Christians and have no church affiliations. The church knows that this is dangerous practice and so is making an active crusade to corral as many of those Christians as possible. Bank Street Baptist is alloged to be the oldest Negro church in Norfolk, being 127 years of age. It has a membership of 850, zealous and loyal. On January 1, of this year, the church inaugurated institutional features on the budget plan. Bank Street owns some very valuable real estate appraised at over $100,000. At present, it is without a pastor. A Sketch of the Second Calvary The Second Calvary Baptist Church has been pastored for the last eleven years by Reverend C. P. Madison. When he came to the above named church he had a small membership and was moving along in a small way, but since his pastorate a fine building has been erected at the cost of seventy-three thousand dollars and the membership is ten times larger now than it was when he came to the charge. The church is well organized, every member under a leader with twelve auxiliaries. Each one of them playing their parts. The above church is not only doing local work, but foreign mission work. It is national in scope. It is alive to every issue pertaining to the kingdona and Baptist interest. The entire membership has a large vision and is willing to respond to every call that is for the uplift of the kingdom of God. It has put on a special Bible training course with both the young and old people, but especially with the young folks. Rev. Hamilton, the best prepared Bible teacher we have in Norfolk is directing this Bible study. The services each Sunday are special and prepared. No one has time to idle from the time they enter the door until the benediction is announced. Its motto is "The World for Christ." All are welcome. SERMON ON "THE RIVER NILE" Rev. Bowling Begins Series Of Talks On "Well-Known Bible Rivers" With Informative Discourse. Teachers, nurses, midwives, and a sprinkling of representatives of other ancient Egyptian vocations mingled with the crowds at First Baptist Church last Sunday night. The occasion was a special sermon by the pastor on "The River Nile." The ups and downs of life was the lesson appropriately drawn from the story of life on the banks of this ancient river. "Life's ups and downs," said Rev. Bowling, "come to us all. Israel was not the only people in bondage to these driving masters and not the only group securing enunciation at the empire's dissolution. Moses was not the only child in Israel saved from Pharaoh's edict to the midwives and not the only one to suffer and strive for the salvation of his race. Joseph was not the only man in jail, nor the only one to go to jail to preferment. "But most important of all is the example from the banks of the Nile in how to face life's ups and downs. Just make the best of the present situation, no matter what it is. Joseph in time of plenty and prosperity did not merely enjoy himself and wreak vengeance on his enemies. He had a good time all right, marrying the daughter of the heathen priest of On, having children and growing great. But he used his power and prestige to make possible the feeding of a hungry world and the restoration of his sin-broken family. On the other hand, in slavery and in jail he did his best and served God. And so his misfortunes proved but stepping stones. Instead of sinking back into the case of wealthy and cultured adultery, he stuck to his religious convictions and rose to second in power to Pharoh. Unsurviving faithfulness to the right will bring one out of the dumps today." The choir sang very acceptably "The Holy Hour" and "Prayer Is The Key." Another inspiring service is booked for this Sunday night. The pastor will preach on "The River In Phillippi." This will be a sermon of especial interest to the women of the city. The Women's Missionary Society of the church will occupy reserved seats at the front. All other women attendants at the service will be seated in the center aisle back of the Society. Men will be seated in the side aisles or galleries. The service will begin promptly at 7:30. The choir will again provide some musical numbers that will delight and thrill. The trouble with some men is that they work too hard trying to get things they don't need and never ought to want. New Pastor Of Shiloh Church P. H. REV, V. V. K. STOKES, who took charge as pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church September 14, 1925, succeeding Rev. F. W. Black. Since his coming here Shiloh has been making marked progress, and the congregation expresses confidence that their choice was a wise one. His motto is: "A Live Church," and in his brief period here Rev. Stokes has admirably succeeded in carrying out the meaning of that motto. He is a forceful preacher and a profound thinker. PASTOR'S LEAGUE WARNS AGAINST VACANT PULPITS Decries Alleged Tendency of Church Officers To Run Affairs Without A Pastor; Thinks Practice Harmful. The Baptist Pastors' League of Portsmouth and vicinity in a statement handed the Journal and Guide; this week, went on record as abusing the spirit of vacant pulpits and the apparent negligence in supplying these pulpits when ministers have resigned or died. The league sets out its position on this matter as follows: "The Founder of the Christian Church, from the beginning, had never intended for churches to exist without leaders. On that account, He founded the church with a strong and efficient band of leaders for the guarding and leading of its general affairs. "But what is the general trend among us Baptists? Here it is. As soon as the pubists are vacant, the under officers believe they can run the churches upon a cheap scale by securing the aid of some ministers to officiate in the spiritual performance with a small compensation, thinking that they—the under officers—are doing these brethren great honors and favors, when the spiritual and financial parts of the church are suffering. "Why are these things going on?" Because the people as a whole do not know and do not realize that the balance of church power is in their own hands, and without their saying so, these officers cannot act. A church, on the other hand, without a pastor becomes scattered like sheep without a shepherd, because the people know not whom to follow. And we as ministers ought not to countenance such practices, for this encourages the leaders of this attitude to feel that they are right and that ministers can be easily secured by them at their will. "Being the Baptist churches are suffering under this precarious dilemma, the Pastors' League of Portsmouth and vicinity deems it proper to sound the alarm now in order to put the people on the alert and start them to thinking, warning them not to sit supinely when their inalienable claims are being undermined or disregarded by a corps of deacons. "The league further hopes that all ministerial brethren may seriously think on these matters, so that better results may be reached in bringing ample satisfaction to all concerned." The statement bears the signatures of I. S. Arnold, Richard C. Noble and F. M. Jones. Sunday School Cross-Country Auto Race Contest On Sunday, February 14, the official board of St. Paul C. M. E. Sunday school will stage a cross-country auto race to be known as Lincoln Highway Sunday school contest. The rules and other features of the contest make it very interesting. Mr. John B. Williams superintendent of the school, states that through this contest he aims to add more than 200 members to the school plus an increase in interest in finances. Eleven well known makes of cars are entered in this race, piloted by drivers with skill. Included among the drivers are: George Gallins, Mannie Sewell. Bonthat Saunders. F. R. Ferebee, Lucille Williams, Mable Green, Mary Hill. Robert Mason, John Williams, E. Hill, Sadie Olds. Driver John Williams, who is to steer a Moon car for the Live Wire Class is a slight favorite, while Ferebee, who is at the wheel of a Hudson for Ever Ready Class is reported as a serious contender. Bessie Epps and Bertha Spratt will serve as judges, while Kelvitt Shaw is bookmaker, Madge Harris, Charlotte White and H. S. Spencer are on the Highway Commission. Other officials are Chaster Robinson, official starter: John B. Williams, superintendent, and Rev. S. S. Washington, pastor. SECOND CALVARY BEGINS 8-DAY PRAISE SERVICE Sunday, February 14, at the Second Calvary Baptist Church will be the starting of an eight-day prayer and song service by the members and friends of the above named church and Sunday school. Every member of the Sunday school and church is asked to be present at 10:15 a. m., at which time the Sunday school will start their interest in the prayer meeting by the study of God's word. The Superintendent, G. C. Madison and his workers will have all of their plans well in hand to make the Sunday school interesting and catchy to all who come. DR. G. HAMILTON FRANCIS Men's Day will be observed at Grace Church next Sunday, the 11th, by the Men's Club of the Church. At the six o'clock service there will be special program which will include solos by Mr. Edward King, Miss Harriet Brown, Mr. Foster and special selections by the choir. The address for the evening will be delivered by Dr. G. Hamilton Francis. Dr. Francis is one of the leading physicians of Tidewater and a speaker who always has a message. All are cordially invited. There will be two selections by the Philharmonic Glee Club. There will be no dismissing of the Sunday school, but an emerging of the Sunday school into the morning service. All parents are asked to send and bring their children to the Sunday school prepared to remain over to the morning service at which time the pastor will preach from the subject, "A Finished Salvation." The officers of the church including the deacons and trustees will have charge of the prayer and sorg service each night from 7:30 to 8:30. The choir will follow with a fifteen minute song service and then a short sermon from the pastor. These services will have for their object the lining up of the Christians who are not in any church and getting those who are not Christians to accept Christ. We ask that every member and friend will come each night from February 14, to February 21, and bring some unsaved and all so those who are saved and not members of any church in the city. It is the wish of the pastor of the above named church that every member and friend of the church will make it his business to be present at each of these services and to use their best influence to awaken a deeper interest in the Master's kingdom.

L. WILLIAMS Frederick Douglas was born in 1877, presumably, February 14, the exact date of his birth never having been authoritatively settled. But in the matter of observing his anniversary, the exact date of his advent in this land is inconsequential. The spirit of the occasion is the essential thing, and certainly this nation has produced no character to whose memory the people might turn with a more profound homage. Douglas is claimed by the Negro race, and by racial lineage he was Negro, but no race lay exclusive claim upon a character that so long as world history was the life of this former man. His spirit belonged to the world for his was and is a world philosophy—freedom of the oppressed—and a philosophy that can never be in error. Obviously no attempt will be made even briefly to chronicle the life of the man in these pages. If this article should inspire some youth to search the histories for the contributions of the Negro race to world civilization, it will have amply served its purpose. Birth Place Born in Talbot County, Maryland, surrounded by and a part of the debauching life of chattel slavery, Douglass, nevertheless, came upon this terrestrial sphere most propitiously. His life was the one needed at the time his public career began to fire the abolitionist cause to a final triumph. When this former-slaver orator entered upon the stage and began the derer broadsides and their bold logic, the broadsides eloquence and learning sunsiveness, Charles a Sunner, Emerson, Horace Mann and William Lloyd Garrison and other anti-slavery leaders already were the striking telling blows upon the head of the monster slavery. But a Douglass was needed, and the fates brought forth Frederick—a living example of the human completeness of a black slave. After Douglass entered Freedom's light, even the weakest of the enslaved the skeptical of Emerson convinced that a Negro chattel of the South was in reality a being possessing all the human attributes, and the cause of freedom was enhanced a thousand times. Beginning of Public Career Beginning of Public Career Douglass' public career began when he went to Nantucket, Mass. August 14, 1841, to attend a great Anti-Slavery Convention called by William Loyal Goyard, a slave- holder, in New York City 21 or 22 years of age, had recently escaped from his owner in Maryland where he had chandlestinely learned to read and had made his way to New Bedford, Mass., where a kindly free colored man, Nathan Johnson, of tastes and refinement, gave him lodgings, later persuading him to Frederick Amusius Washington Bailey to Frederick Douglass. At the convention, after Garrison and a number of other abolitionist leaders had spoken, a friend who had heard of him, sought Douglas and asked him to say a few words. Of this incident, the speaker with difficulty I could stand erect or could command or articulate two words without hesitation and stammering. I am not sure that my embarrassment was not the most important part of my speech, if speech it could be called. The audience sympathized with me and am once, from the start, remarkably silent. It became much excited. Describing this event, Parker Pillsbury, an eye-witness says: "When the young man, Douglas, closed late in the evening, none seemed to know or care for the lateness of the hour. The crowded congregation had been filled, and as he turned over the terrible apocalypse of his experience in slavery." Boromus Lecturer After becoming Lecturer at Nantucket, Douglass became a lecturer in the Anti-Slavery cause. From 1842 to 1845 he delivered hundreds of speeches from the lecture platform, until his eloquence, logic and sagacity had so impressed New England and the North that doubt as to his having been a slave was based in some quantity in his lecture lass and assistance in the publication of a "Narrative of Frederick Douglass," giving the names of his former masters. After this publication had been issued by the Anti-Slavery Society, he sailed for England, lest his self-exposure might lead to his apprehension and re-enslavement. In England he was received with affection, and freedom was purchased by two members of the Society of Friends. In England, Douglass' marmignous reception did not have the effect of destroying his love of A- america. He was charitable in his remarks about his country, but it can be safely said that no living man succeeded as well as he in painting for the English public the chattel slavery then existing in the United States. Here him at Finsbury Chapel, Moorsfields, England, May 12, 1846. After having held his audience in a spell for more than an hour with a minute recital of American slave music, he wedded: “But you will ask me, can these things be possible in a land professing Christianity? Yes, they are so; and this is not the worst. No; a darker feature is yet to be presented than the mere existence of these facts. I have to inform you that the religion of the Southern states, at this time, is the greatest supported, the greatest pioneer in the missionary aptitudes to the land we have referred. While America is printing tracts and Bibles; sending missionaries abroad to convert the heathen; expending her money in various ways for the promotion of the Gospel in foreign lands—the slave not only lies forgotten, unearned for, but is trampled under-foot by the very churches of the land. We, the we have slavery made part of the religion of the land. Yes, the pulpit there stands up as the great defender of this cursed institution, as it is called. Ministers of religion come forward and torture the hallowed pages of inspired wisdom to sanction the bloody deed. They stand forth for the foremost, the strongest defenders of this work; it difficult to speak on this matter without fear of injuring our foreground and saying: “Dougless are you not afraid of injuring the cause of Christ? You do not desire to do so, we know; but are you not undermining religion? This has been seen to me again and again, even since I came to this country, but I cannot be induced to leave off these blessings of love. I love the religion that comes from above, in the wisdom of God, which is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and with hypocrisy. I love that religion that sends its votaries to bind up the wounds of him that has fallen among the thieves. I love that makes it the date of its disciples missit the fatherless and the widow in their affliction. I love that religion that is based upon the glorious principles of love to God and love to man; which makes its followers do unto others as they themselves would be done by it. It is because I love this religion that I hate the slave-bolding, the woman-hipping, the mind-dinking, the mind-destroying religion exists in the southern states of America.” That speech stirred England on the slavery question as nothing else has done before. Speech In Boston In Faundal Hall, Boston, after his return to this country, on June 8, 1849, this intrepid cruiser for human rights is heard thundering against the American Colonization Society, of which Henry Clay was the president. It was the aim of this society to bring about the gradual emancipation of the slaves and their immediate repatriation to Africa upon gaining their freedom. Here Douglass: "I would ask you, my friends, if this is not mean and impudent in the extreme, for one class of Americans to ask for the removal of another class?" I feel, sir, I have as much right in this country as any other man. I feel that the black man in this land has as much right to stay in this land as the white man. Consider the matter in the light of possession of the country. Our connection with this country is contemporaneous with your own. From the beginning of the existence of this people, the colored man has had a place upon the American soil. To be sure, he was not driven from home in the country of a greater liberty, he enjoyed at home, like the Pilgrim fathers; but in the same year that the Pilgrims were landing in this State, slaves were landing on the James River, in Virginia. We feel, on this score, then, that we have as much right here as any other class of people." His Great Spirit Douglas' biagness of soul is a gain attested in the following words uttered in his Manuel Hall speech, when in referring to his experience in England, he said: "could he have suffered; but when he numbered this prejudice against color, as it is called, and slavery, and saw the many wrongs inflicted on my people at the North that ought to be combatted and put down, I felt a disposition to lay aside ease, and to turn my back on the kind offer of my friends (offers to guarantee him a life comfort in England) and return among you—deeming it more noble to suffer along with my colored brother, and meet these prejudices, than to live in case, undisturbed, on the other side of the Atlantic. I had rather he have now, countering against my testimony against it, setting it at defiance, than to remain in England adisturbed. I have made up my mind wherever I go, I shall go as a man, and not as a slave. Calls Slaves To Arms When Fort Sumter was fired on and the war of the rebellion actually begun, Douglass calls, "Men of Color to Arms." Again we feel his great partisan toward his country and his devotion to the cause of his suffering race at one and the same time in these words: "Action! Action! not criticism, is the plain duty of the hour. Words are now useful only as they stimulate blows. The office of speech now is only to point out when, where, and how to strike to the best advantage. There no time to delay. The tide is at when, from East to West, from North to South, the sky is written all over, "Now or Never." Liberty won by white men would lose half its lustre. "Who would be free must themselves strike the blow. Better even die free, than to live shaves. This is the sentiment of every brave colored man amongst us. There are the weak and cowardly men in all nations. We have them amongst us. They tell you this is the "whole" better off than before the war? and that getting of you in the army is to "sacrifice you on the first opportunity." Believe them not; cowards themselves, they do not wish to have their cowardice shamed by your brave example. . . . You do not doubt. The day dawns; the morning star is bright upon the horizon. The iron gate of your prison is half to you to end in a blow. The breach is now gone to you end in a bound from social degradation to the plan of common equality with all variety of men." Post-War Life The thirty years of Douglas life after emancipation were filled with honors and responsibilities, all too numerous for recital here. In a summary of the man, Dr. Carter Woodson, author of "N-gro Orators and their Orations," from which the quotation is taken, in this article were taken, in addition to much other material, said of him: "Frederick Doughass, however, wiser in his generation than most of the leaders of his race, did not belong either to the extremely radical or to the safely conservative group of his race, and it hardly does him justice to say that he occupies the mean between the two extremes . . . He graphically portrayed the condition of the shuce; he logically exposed the fallacy of the pro-slavery advocacy; he invariably inveighed against the cruel treatment of Negroes in the North; he persistently questioned the efficacy of Christianity, which when it had the revival experienced also a revival of the crude judge; he fearlessly denounced the protagonists of the slaveocracy prostituting the government to the support of caste; but he never went to the extremes reached by his more emotional contempt aries. "His position, moreover, was very clear. He considered colonization, not only now, but impracticable, "Individuals migrate," he said, "but nations, never. Inquisition legislation, he believed, should be questioned and opposed with all the moral force and sassion of which man is capable, but open defiance to the law never appealed to him as feasible." Material for this article was drawn hearing from Caster G. Woodson's "Negro Oratra and Their Oration" and "Washington" Biography of Frederick Douglass. The Bachelor Durham, N. C—Miss Leona L.

Over two hundred delegates heard the report of a nation-wide study of the labor union situation as it affects the Negro as given by Mr. Johnson at the Thursday session. He stated that his findings revealed that tinnitus among the largest groups being among the railway workers, the longshoremen, the load carriers and the building laborers. "The American Federation of Labor is anxious to unionize the Negro," declared Mr. Johnson, because he has become a power in strike-behiking.

Enforced Strike-breaker That this policy of exclusion either by direct or indirect methods has resulted in the Negro's use as a strike-breaker, and that it places in the hands of the employer a powerful weapon in the times of labor troubles was emphasized in the discussions that followed, A. J. Portenar, chief mediator of the N. Y. State Department of Labor, suggested that the Negro worker use the strike-breaking method as a means of forcing recognition from the organized non-ground his body from him. "This is an unpleasant way of getting the recognition that ought to be accorded but it may be the only solution to one of the Negro's greatest economic problems," he declared. Better Trade Training Needed At the afternoon session on Thursday the need for more and better trade training, as well as increased cultural training, was stressed by John W. Davis, president of the West Virginia Collegiate, F. D. Bluford, president of the North Carolina C. and M., Gertrude K. McDougald, assistant principal, Public School 89, New York City, "The Negro professional man can no longer expect to wear a white collar unless everything possible is done to increase the industrial opportunities of the Negro workman," said Mr. Davis. The Negro professional must be proper while it casts asperions on the laboring element. Weinstein's session was devoted to the present day problems of social life as they affect the Negro, Walter W. Petitt, Assistant Director of the New York School of Social Work outlined the numerous problems that the Negro faced. He declared that the tendency has been to lay great emphasis on the size of buildings, the amount of budget and endowment; and the number of persons served rather than on the efficiency of the adjustments to normal life.

Mayor Welcomes Visitors HISTORIC WHITE CHURCH FOUNDED BY NEGRO COBBLER The Hay Street Methodist Church of Fayetteville, N. C., housing one of the most influential white congregations of the State was founded by a Negro shoemaker, says a prominent white woman writer in a recent issue of the Virginian-Pilot and the Carolina papers. Her story of the remarkable history of the church is printed below: Fayetteville, N. C. Nov. 7—The Hay Street Methodist Church her is a church with a remarkable history. Remarkable not because it has 117 years of existence will convene on November 11 back of its well-treasured, for there are many churches that are average congregation in North Carolina; remarkable not because it has come out of great tribulation, was built on privation and hardship, and has endured fierce opposition, for that is the history of all churches and all worthwhile Gettysburg Speech Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a final resting field to a final resting place for those who here we gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot conserve—we cannot hallow—this is ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor jong remember what we say here but it can never forget that they have consecrated us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these devotees shall this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the face of the earth. movements; not because it is now a thriving, numerous and influential congregation, for there are many such; but remarkable because the spiritual foundation on which it was built, and on which it has been built, is of remarkable usefulness, was laid by a Negro shoemaker. There was only one religious congregation, that of the Presbyterians, in Fayetteville, and not a single church building, when Henry Evans, a Negro shoemaker, who had been licensed to preach in Forsyth county, stopped here on his way to Chicago, and he was the distinguished Bishop William Capers. There is no record that he ever continued his journey. History records that he decided to stay in Fayetteville and preach to "his people." And here he closed his life. But not until he had started such a religious movement as it is given to few men to start. He not only preached all the people of the town, and his fame as a preacher of wonderful power went far and wide. The beginning of Methodism in Fayetteville was directly his work. A Martyr to Gospel Henry Evans must have been one of those rare men who arise ever so seldom—speaking with the tongues of men and of angels, gifted with courage beyond failure, and endowed with a spiritual fervor that carries all before it. He must have had something to do with the job of John Evans, his friend, in another day and generation what might he not have done! He preached to his people and was run out of town for it; he preached in the woods, pursued by mobs and hunted like a criminal, and the white people found such a change in their slaves and servants that they were the best preachers in the wilderness. And they must have heard him glorify, for we later hear of him preaching in the town again. And when Bishop Capers came to town in 1810, he said that "Henry Evans was the most remarkable man in Fayetteville, and the best preacher of his time in that quarter. The good bishop also says that Evans was the Methodist Church white and black, in Fayetteville." The church in which Evans preached and which he later turned over to the conference was built by him, evidently with his own funds and more than likely with his own labor went into its building. At his death he was killed the proper way it to trustees named by himself, but before that he had asked the pastor of Bladen circuit to come and take charge of his meeting house, and the work already had passed into other hands. From what Bishop Capers says, this must have been the first house where Evans worked with and this was in a community peopled by the Scotch, who have quite a name as church builders themselves. His Dying Words The last scene in Henry Evans' life is not its least remarkable. It contains his parting word to people. "A testimony worthy of St. Paul" it has been called. Bishop Capers was in Payetteville on that Sunday, and during the meeting, he says, the little church he built, the church shed and the church where I stood was opened and the dying man entered for a last carefree to his people. He was almost too feeble to stand, but supporting himself on the tailing of the chancel, he said: "I have come to say my last words to you; it is this: None but Christ. Three times I have broken the ice on the edge of the water and turned the penel to the penel to you, and (Continued on Page Fourteen). Negroes Have Played Important Part In The History Of The World In Invention and Discovery; In Conquest and Exploitation; In Peace and In War, The Impress of Race Has Been Indelibily stamped. BANNEKER, POOR, WOODS, ATTUCKS, WHEATLEY, AND OTHERS ON ROLL The ancient African taught the modern world the use of iron, the most important of all metals, the one by which science and initiative have remade the Universe. Negroes have a place among the pioneers of American history. Africans were the first to visit the shores of America, according to Professor Leo Weiner of Harvard University; for he has found evidences of African influences on this continent prior to the coming of the white men from Europe. Negroes were with the other adventurers in the discovery and exploitation of the ocean, that Pietro Alonzo, il nigro, was a pilot of the fleet with which Columbia discovered America. In the discovery of the Pacific Ocean Balboa carried with him Nufo deulo of Dao, a Negro. In the conquest of Mexico, Cortez was accompanied, by a Negro who on finding in his rations of rice some grains of wheat, planted them as an experiment and thus made himself the pioneer in wheat raising in the Western Hemisphere. Negroes assisted in the exploration of Guatemala and the conquest of Chili, Peru and Venezuela. Estevanico, most noted of all the early Negro explorers, actually led the expeditions of the Spanish in the western hemisphere and discovered what we now call the states of New Mexico and Arizona. Matthew A. Henson, the last to appear in the role of explorer, was chosen by Commodore Peary to accompany him to the North Pole. Commodore McMillan, Commodore McMillan testify that Henson was chosen because of his peculiar ability to grapple with the problems of the Artic. He was the best builder of stoves; he was the best dog driver; he was the best explorer; he was the first the only living man who has seen the North Pole. Twenty Negroes were brought to Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, and were sold into service. They were not enslaved but indentured as servants; for one of the number not only gained his freedom but became later a slaveholder himself, most Negroes had been gradually abducted to the condition of slaves. The Negro has made a distinct contribution as a laborer. He supplied the demand for cheap labor in the commercial revolution. To Negro labor belongs the credit for opening the South to its swamps, and preparing its soil for the culture of sugar, rice, tobacco and cotton. The Negro has enabled the upper strata to produce what culture the South can boast of today. The Negro has not been merely a dull laborer. Out of his brain has conceived the soil. This aptitude has gone still further, even to the extent of producing in the ranks a number of inventors. Norbert Rillieus, a Negro of Louisiana, invented the Vacuum Pan which revolutionized the refining of sugar. Benjamin Banneker, the noted astronomer and methemian, who worked out one of the first of almanacs in this country, made his first clock produced in America. Jan E. Matzelliger, a Dutch Guinea Negro, invented a lasting machine by which the tremendously large industry of making shoes by machinery started on its way toward unprecedented success. Elijah McCoy, the pioneer inventor of automatic lubricators, ores and machinery throughout the world. Granville T. Woods, an inventor of electrical appliances, made an undying reputation for himself in the technical and scientific world. As a soldier the Negro has acquired himself with honor in all American wars. During the colonial days Negroes were frequently used to fight the Indians and later to participate in the wars waged by Europeans contending in America for colonial possessions. Crispus Attucks, who felt the Boston Massacre brought the first to give himself as a sacrifice for the independence of this country. In 1775 Salem Poor showed such military prowess in the battle at Charlestown that fourteen white officers reported him to Congress as having behaved like an experienced officer as well as an excellent soldier. "We only say," they continued, "that in By CARTER G.

WOODS, ATTUCKS, AND OTHERS ON ROLL --- the person of this said Negro, centers a brave and gallant soldier." Austin Dabney distinguished him self for bravery in many skirmishes with the British and Tories in Georgia. While fighting under Colonel Clarke he was severely wounded by a bullet passing thru his thigh made him a cripple for life. In consideration of his valuable service he received the only award given by the Federal Government but a tract of land from Georgia. The citizens of that state delighted to honor him throughout his life and mourned the loss when he passed away. Negro soldiers stood out with equal valour in the War of 1812. They fought bravely under Perry and Macdonough. An officer of this war writing of an engagement said: "The name of one of my poor fellows who was killed ought to be registered in the book of fame, and remembered with reverence as long as a slave is considered by the man. He was a black man by the name of Johnson. When America has such tars she has nothing to fear from the tyrants of the ocean." Negro soldiers came to Andrew Jackson's rescue in the battle of New Orleans in 1814. In return for that contribution to his splendid victory he said, "I knew that you had to 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 qualities, that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds." In the Civil War the Negro soldier gave a still better account of himself. Of those fighting at Fort Wagner, the black racism performed by these colored men were such as the proudest white men might emulate." At Fort Wagner the 54th Massachusetts, a Negro Regiment, stood like heroes in the midst of carriage and evoked from their superiors the heartiest thanks for their courage and hard work. And Negroes cannot be exceeded as soldiers. In the Spanish-American War, Negroes bravery furnished one of the most gratifying incidents. Their fighting at Santiago was all but wonderful. "The Negro soldiers showed such excellent discipline, the highest qualities of personal bravery, very superior with regard to temper, and the most generous disposition toward a 111 comrades-in-arms, whether white or black." In the punitive expedition, under General Pershing, in Mexico in 1916 members of the 10th Calvary and 14th Infantry distinguished themselves as the heroes of the hour. Referring to one of them a reporter said, "There was a finer piece of devotion and leadership in the history of modern warfare than that of Henry Adair and the black trooper who fought by him at Carrival." In the World War. Negro troops and officers were praised as courageous men, admirable in their attack. Their bravery and dawn won the admiration of observers and the gratitude of France, to the salvation of which they made a distinct and valuable contribution. In poetry, the Negro has won high honors. Inspired by the early efforts of Juan Latino of Spain, Antar the Arabised African, Pushkin the father of Russian poetry, Alexander Dumas, noted French romancer and his son, Alexander Dumas, the French dramatist of Puritanic morality, the Negroes of this country have given to the world a number of distinguished poets. Of those who have exhibited the thought of the Negro in verse most honorable mention belongs to Jupiter Hammon of Long Island, Phyllis Wheatley of Boston, George M. Horton of North Carolina, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. On the stage the Negro has been well represented by Ira Aldridge, the shakesperian actor, Robert Cole, the comedian, Egbert Austin Williams in the same role, Charles S. Gilpin and Paul Robeson of recent fame. The Negro can point with pride to the fact that this race has produced the most popular music of modern times, which is evidently the only distinct contribution of America to civilization. Among the stars in the bright galaxy of Negro musicians, there have appeared with the inspiration of Samuel Coleridge Taylor, H. Burleigh, Will Marion Gossemand Johnson and Dora Duncan.

The hotel, a new feature which has been long needed in the community to fill the gap of a place to cater and serve transient and the traveling and general public opened its doors on January 1st. The public will appreciate a sanitary and comfortable hotel where they may stop and entertain their friends and guests who come to their city. The doors of the hotel are open to all of the appreciating public for their inspection and patronage. The management has spared no gains to make everything as comfortable as the home to the general public. Norfolk, the greatest support on the Atlantic coast, has a floating population of more than 75,000 people who pass in and out of the city during the year, of this number about one third are colored who do not have any particular place of abode. The management conceived this idea and has placed at their command a place which has been provided for, to help solve this long needed problem. The hotel consists of 32 rooms, ideal baths and large spacious lobby, every facility to make things very comfortable. Musical programs over radio are enjoyed each night by the guests and visitors of the hotel. The ideal location is in the heart of the colored business district with ample street car and taxi service. The progress of the hotel is very creditable since its opening with increased business each day. Bookings for conventions, colleges, business and associations along with fraternal bodies are being made for the coming seasons. Theatrical patronage is invited to stop at the Wheaton. The hotel derived its original name after the late Hon. J. Frank Wheaton, past Grand Exalted Ruler of the Ellks. Many will still remember and admire him for his great achievements in life. The C. F.

It is open at practically all hours, carries a varied line of sandwiches, salads, hot and cold drinks and high class luncheons.

DAVID H. EDWARDS Commander-in-Chief ```markdown ``` The Company Behind It--- PAGE ELEVEN The Southern Aid Society Annual Stockholders Meeting History Making Tell the world With— JORDAN SIGNS 637 E. OLNEY ROAD Richmond, Va. — The Annual Stockholders' Meeting of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., held at the home office. 527 North Second street, city, Monday, January 25th, 1926, like the Society's last year's million dollar business, was an epoch in the economic life of our group in Richmond. This was the first stockholders' meeting since the stockholders had authorized, in September 1925, an increase of capital stock of the corporation from $20,000 to $100,000.00. The shareholders list now includes many of the race's most representative business and professional leaders in the Middle Atlantic States. Thus with an augmented attendance and the eagerness to hear and read the record of the corporation's great achievement during the past, a gross business of over one million dollars—although operating at present only in its home State, Virginia, and the District of Columbia — the meeting presented a picture or setting that will linger long in the minds of those who were fortunate enough to be holders of the very valuable stock of the race's oldest industrial insurance corporation. The president and general counsel, Mr. Jas, T. Carter, presided. Mr. Carter has already won renown as a distinguished lawyer, business leader and orator; but on this occasion he excelled all former efforts in forensic delivery, and astounded his hearers by his wide knowledge of insurance, finance and business in general. His report was a comprehensive and in forming affairs. They followed the detailed financial record by that prince of business leaders and builders, Mr. B. L. Jordan, secretary-manager, when it was shown that the corporation had had a gross income of $1,113,781.28, and had a cash balance on deposit in strong banks and trust companies both colored and white, of $284,424.81, and that assets had reached a total of $871,345.46, the stockholders released their pen up enthusiasm. The assistant secretary-manager, Mr. W. A. Jordan, presented a record of the work of the several divisions of the business. In addition to these reports, the stockholders were given honored printed statements of the corporation's business for the past year, and thus they were fully informed of every detail of their wonderful institution. After approval of the report and action of the board and officers, the president appointed the following committee of stockholders to bring in a list of nominees to be voted upon for president and board of directors: The committee, Rev. M. C. Ruffin, chairman, Mrs. P. W. Willis, Mersers, A. G. Bates, L. T. Johnson and E. A. Preston, secretary. This committee presented the following names: Mrs. Maggie J. Walker, Dr. M. B. Jones, Mr. Percy Wilson, Mr. Jas. O. West, Mr. Robt. L. Tate, Mr. J. T. Carter, Mr. B. L. Jordan, Mr. W. A. Jordan, Mr. Edw. Stowland, Mr. A. Washington, Mr. W. E. Randolph, Mr. C. N. Jackson, Mr. B. A. Cephas, Mr. A. D. Price, Jr. Mr. W. E. Baker. The stockholders unanimously and enthusiastically approved of these persons to guide the affairs of the corporation as it begins its 60th year -- and with ambitious plans for expansion. Then followed expressions from many of the out-of-town stockholders; but it was left for Mrs. Maggie L. Walker to electrify the assembled group by her magnetic speech of appreciation of her election to the governing body of such a great institution. She was overjoyed at the opportunity to show the world that Negro leaders can co-operate and work together in the various enterprises. While the meeting was in this exalted state of appreciation and enthusiasm, the president announced that all would follow him to the banquet table, prepared by Slaughter, the Caterer, and that Mr. R. A. Cephas would serve as astonmaster. It is needless to say that Mr. Cephas performed his task with grace and to the satisfaction of everyone—and that the time repast was a fitting climax to a memorable occasion or event in the business life of Richmond.

Jones opened this shop with the idea of giving to colored Norfolk the best obtainable in tansional service. The proprietors went to the largest expense ever undertaken in this city in a similar venture for the benefit of Negroes. That the fore sight of these young men was simply based is borne out by the patronage the shop has enjoyed from the day of its opening. The Standard trade line increased day after day, until it now boasts the greatest volume of dependable patronage enjoyed by a shop in the uptown section of the city. Every facility for sanitation and up-to-date service is available at this shop.

When William J. Kemp opened his beautiful Garden de Luxe at his place of business, 1043 Church street, he gave to this city one of the finest entertainment resorts in the South. This spacious garden is luxuriously appointed with de luxe seats and tables, charming decorations and an electric player piano. Its lighting arrangements add materially to its decorative scheme. Kemp's Garden de Luxe may be rented for dances, dance parties, smokers, club socials, etc. Since opening a number of hosts and hostesses have used it for both elaborate and modest entertainments. Refreshments a la carte or special catering service, according to the wishes of the patron, are furnished. This place is undoubtedly the finest entertainment rendezvous available to colored people in this section of the country. It was outfitted at a heavy expense, and is operated in connection with Kemp's high class soda shop. HAS PROTECTED FAMILY30YEARS The Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company was organized July 14, 1894, and for more than thirty-one years it has protected thousands of individuals and families in time of stress. The many years of successful operation of the company has been due to the fact that it has lived up to its contract. The company has on a campaign to place 500 new contracts on the weekly payment plan, and invites the public to investigate its protection features, which, it is felt must appeal to any person realizing that the day of distress is inevitable. Mr. Jesse W. Lewis is the District Manager of the local office, and since coming here a few months ago, has done much to increase Richmond Beneficial Company's business in this territory. People's Cafe 16 Years In Business The People's Cafe, J. R. Stewart, proprietor is one among Norfolk's oldest colored business enterprises. It has seen sixteen years of service, attended by substantial growth in volume of business and public appreciation. The business is located at 951 Church street, and is known to communities quite some distance from the city. During large gatherings of visitors here The People's Cafe invariably has the privilege of providing meals for a considerable number of the visitors. Through excellence of accommodations, Mr. Stewart has created for his business a large and substantial partonage. National Benefit Insurance Co. Has Romantic Growth A little more than 27 years ago an idea was conceived in the brain of Samuel H. Rutherford, a young progressive colored man of Washington, D.C., of the great need of an institution whereby the economic conditions of his race could be improved. The National Benefit Life insurance Company, of Washington, D.C., is the result of this idea, with the originator being the present general manager. The growth of this institution is phenomenal as is shown by the following facts: It has more than 100 branch offices scattered over 26 states; over a million dollars in resources and employs more than 2,000 persons, aside from the many field representatives. It is an old line stock insurance company doing both ordinary and industrial business. It is completely managed by men of the race and one of the largest insurance businesses as compared with any company in the country. There is now a plan to enlarge the home office building. The local branch office in the Attucks Theatre Building invites all to visit there during trade and obtain valuable information as to life insurance or as to the chance of securing employment with the company, stating that it is time there is an increasing demand for additional employees. The force has recently been increased with an additional superintendent in the person of Mr. C. W. LeGrand, who brings with him an experience that will enable the district to render greater service to local policyholders. New Woolens W. H. Haggie, proprietor of the Variety Shop, 730 Church street, has recently returned from the wolen markets and style shows of Baltimore, where he obtained a very substantial stock of spring and summer fabrics and the latest ideas on fashion's degrees for the coming seasons. Mr. Haggie states that he is at present in a position to give his customers the benefit of bargains made possible through his large stock. Just some weeks ago Haggie was successful in securing a credit rating for an amount running in five figures, which enables him to carry more and a larger variety of goods, and extend more generous credit to his customers. He announces that he can arrange loans for his customers in amounts from $5.00 to $50.00; in larger amounts if weeded. Another Georgia Lady Proclaims Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Best Facial Preparation On Earth Manhattan Cleaners Doing Fine Business The Manhattan Cleaners and Dyers, 552 East Brambleton avenue, is making fine headway in the cleaning and dyeing business, because of good service, its patrons state. The proprietors carry out a system of calling for and delivering work, besides specializing in hat cleaning. The establishment is conducted by S. Powell and his brother, both of whom are said to be experts in their line of business. Little Rock In Mrs. Virginia Harris has recently opened a Little Rock Inn at 1050 Church street, which deals in candies, fruits, tobacco, soft drinks, magazines and newspapers. Associated with Mrs. Harris as partner is A. Weaver. This is a cool little shop, very clean, sanitary and appealing. It is a credit to the business aspirations of the race, and it will most likely enjoy the patronage it deserves. Irby's Grocery Store. One Of Best One of the largest and finest equipped grocery stores in the city is conducted by Edward Ilya at $30 Gol street. Mr. Ilya has been in business in his present location for eight years. He has a very large and substantial trade, requiring from one to two clerks daily and from three to four on Saturday nights. His stock is tastefully arranged; his prices moderate, and he is known in Nortok as a wizard Successful Business The Virginia Feed Company, 1044 Church street, specializes in the sale of Gold Medal flour and Dunlap's water ground meal, in which the company announces it is in a position to give bargains. The Virginia Feed Company has been in business on Church street for a number of years, during which time it has established itself in the minds of the people as being one of the colored citizens' worthy business assets. Mr. Wade Plummer is the proprietor, and his ability to remain in his present location up until now and meet competition is indicative of his keen business ability.

Dorsey Holds Record For Consistent Advertising Just about three years ago there came to this city from the far South an indifferent locking colored man in search of his fortune. He decided to cast his lot with the business life of the community, and opened a restaurant on Nicholson street under the simple trade name, "Dorsey's." From the day of opening now he has enjoyed a steady increasing business, meeting all competition. At present his place is fitted out with equipment costing several hundred dollars. Mr. Dorsey is one of the most consistent newspaper advertisers in the city. From the day his business opened until the present week, he has not missed having his advertisement in a single issue of the Journal and Guide. In fact, he holds the record in this respect—in business three years and never missed a week in advertising.

According to G. W. C. Brown, the president of Brown and Brown, Inc., general real estate brokers, their greatest stock in trade is unselfish service. It is this corporation's policy to spend all the time necessary with every prospective client, rich or poor, little or big, until he finds the home he wants and can safely buy. Mr. Brown states that the greatest obstacle in the way of Negroes buying homes is their desire to purchase finer homes than their pocketbooks can afford. This ambition leaves them too often, to obligate themselves to terms that is impossible to meet. The result is they lose their homes, blame the real estate agent, and poison the minds of other would-be buyers. The province of a true real estate agent is to so protect his clients that they can buy homes in a safe, sane way, and keep them; and this firm is doing just that. Rich-Strong-Brooks Company, Insurance And Real Estate Norfolk colored people can obtain fire, automobile and plate glass insurance from brokers of their own group, who are Rich, Strong, Brooks Company, representing or enjoying reciprocal connections with the largest fire insurance companies in the world. Since entering the insurance field here the concern has increased its business more than 200 per cent, and has placed protection on some of the largest buildings in the city, besides a considerable number of residences. Norfolk Home B. & L. Ass'n The Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association, Inc., was organized on the 12th of October, 1905, and has a career of over 20 years of successful business experience. During these two decades a large number of business enterprises have been organized, some of which have survived, others unfortunately succumbed, while this association has continued a helpful service to the community, growing gradually as the time passed by. The year 1925 brought the largest volume of business of any year since the association's organization. The report for the year showed $113,202.41 total receipts. Of this amount $51,600 was paid to persons who had carried stock to maturity, and the balance was spent for homes for stockholders, withdrawals, etc. This brief picture of the work gives only an imperfect idea of the extent to which this association is helping people to own their homes and to save money for the proverbial rainy day. The officers of the association are planning for a larger growth during the present year. They see no reason why there should not be a large building and bond association among colored people, capable of financing the needs of the race in this city. Say its officers, "If the race will answer the segregation of residential sections, the segregation in transportation with the segregation of its funds into building and loan associations and banks of the race, it will transpose vice into a virtue that will be helpful to all."

How To Quickly Stop Bad Coughs It is often surprising how quickly the heaviest cough disappears when treated by a remarkable new method. Here is the method, based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the coughing. So the severest cough soon disappears completely. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmedicroup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs. Very economical, as the dose is only one teaspoonful.

A spiritual heritage which an lutch might proudly cressl Thomas Mason was the act and came up from Blade to take charge of the Little meeting in and the faithful little congregation in 1908. Moses Matthews was the first leading leader. This section of North Carolina was under the conference of South Carolina. The North Carolina Conference had not been organized, and was not until May 19, 1856, when it was set off by General Conference meeting in Cincinnati. Even then, it was not until some time between 1855 and 1859 that, mainly through the instability of Dr. Clos- od of Dr. Dennis, the Fayetteville and Washington territory and the adjacent counties lying along the State Line were transferred from the South Carolina to the North Carolina Conference. Building the Church By this time the Fayetteville church had grown and prospered for years before the organization of the conference, or in 1832, it instructed had named a committee to lay a new lot and build a church, and parsonage, and this was done in that year. The last parsonage was made on this building on February 11, 1840. This church served the congregation until 1907, when work was commenced on this present home office on the same site. The new building was completed in 1908. It was built under the pastorate of Rev. G. F. Smith. In 1871 a new parsonage was purchased, this being on Gillespie street. It was used until the church was completed. The record regarding the purchase of the Gillespie street parsonage is the last showing that the church business was funded by trustees. After that all business was transacted by the treasurers. There is now a handsome district parsonage located on Haymount. One of the manifestations of spiritual life is growth. Hay St. Church has been instrumental in establishing Person Street Church, in the eastern section of the city, Calvary Church, in the southern suburbs, and Gardens Chapel, in the northern suburbs. Besides these evidences of growth, Hay St. Church has licensed many effective local preachers, and has given to however, to save from the ashes a battle containing about ten grains, which was offered as evidence of the bearing.

NEGROES PLAYED GREAT PART IN WORLD HISTORY (Continued from Page Nine) Marie Selika, Flora Batson. Marion Anderson and Roland Hayes. Great credit belongs also to such instrumentalists as George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower, Thomas Green Bethune and John William Boone. In painting the Negro has produced successful workers. There have appeared a number of painters of gifts like E. M. Bannister, William Edward Scott and William A. Harper; but from the ranks of the Negro has come the most popular and the most distinguished of all painters of America, Henry O. Tanner. In sculpture the race has been decidedly encouraged by the efforts of Edmonia Lewis, Meta Vaux Warrick, and Mary Howe Jackson. Spokesmen of the Race The Negro has developed eloquent and courageous spokesman, Cabid of Virginia, David Walker of Massachusetts, Denmark Vesey of South Carolina, and Nat Turner of Virginia advocated the examination of slavery by the use force. Lenox Remond, William Wells Brown, Alexander Crammell, Henry Highland Garnett, J. W. C. Pennington, Samuel R. Ward and decidedly contributed to the in the attitude of the A- mericans which led ultimately to the emancipation of the race. During the reconstruction the Negro gave a good account of his- self as a citizen and as a states- man. His participation in the affi- fairs of the government was de- nounced and opposed from the very beginning, but despite the mire of corruption into which the Negroes were drawn by the white men who profited thereby at the expense of the freedmen, the race decisively demonstrated its capacity for citi- cism and its right to all of the honors within the gift of the na- tion. In the uplift of a race few workers accomplished more than Andrew Bryan, Richard Allen, James Varick, Christopher Rush, Daniel A. Payne, and L. H. Holsey than the church. The case of an oppressed people has never been more cleverly stated than in the word of J. C. Price, M. C. B. Mason, William Pickens, Kelly Miller, James Weldon Johnson and W. E. B. DuBois. No American has ever left a deeper impression on education than Booker T. Washington. The Negro in Business The economic progress of the Negro is unprecedented in the history of the world. Starting almost without anything in 1865, the Negro has today to his credit property valued at more than a billion dollars. Most of this wealth is in the farm of acreage and comfortable homes. The race has made exceptional progress, however, in manufacturing, banking, and insurance. As pioneers in developing such businesses among Negroes there stand out pre-eminently such persons as Isaiah T. Montgomery, John Merrick, Mrs. A. E. Malone, Madam C. J. Walker, Samuel W. Ratherford, W. G. Pearson, C. C. Spaulding, Anthony Overton and Jesse Binga. The Negro Press In no place has the Negro made greater progress than that evidenced by the increasing power of the Negro press. The few dailies which have appeared here a n d there have not actually succeeded; but in every large city with a considerable wee sidable Negro population there is now a successful weekly newspaper publishing to the world the case of the Negro and directing the race in the way of economic, social and religious progress. These organs of thought new number more than three hundred.
