XXVI No. 8 NORFO AUTO Allege Va Conspiracy Of RaceSep STATE PAPERS CONDEMN RACE BILLS Four Prominent Dailies Condemn and Oppose Massenburg Bill On-Grounds of Its Being Unnecessary. UNPOPULARITY OF THE MEASURE SHOWN Four of Virginia's most widely read and influential daily newspapers have openly criticized and opposed the Massenburg bill, aimed at separating the races in assembly and entertainment halls. These papers are the Lynchburg News, owned by United States Senator Barten Glass; the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, which has consistently measured the measure in a series of strong editorials; the Richmond News-Leader and the Norfolk Edger-Dispatch. The position taken by these newspapers has seen that the very thing attempted to be accomplished by legislation observed in this state by custom and tradition, except probably in a single instance of small consequence, and that the law is not only unnecessary, but provocative of racial friction. The Virginian-Pilot in its issue of Monday morning, among other about criticisms of the proposed law, said: They (opponents of the bill) do believe in racial integrity but they don't believe that Prussianized segregation enforced by the aid of a meritory in the privately-owned assembly hall of a privately-endowed Negro college has anything more to do with racial integrity than has the proposed Atlanta ordinance prohibiting Negro harbors from serving white patrons. They believe, moreover, that segregation practiced voluntarily by the two races is incomparably more desirable than segregation made mandatory by formal enactment. If the white people of this state can force an entry into the auditorium of a private Negro college and by law compel the authorities of such a college to set aside special seats for exclusive white use, then the colored people of the state have an equal right under the same law to force an entry into the auditorium of Hampden-Sidney, Randolph-Macon or any other private white college and require the authorities of these institutions to provide accommodations for Negro visitors."

COMMITTEE WITHHOLDS REPORT ON MEASURE (Special Correspondence) Richmond, Va.—Monday—Before the Senate committee on general laws holding a public hearing on the Massenburg bill here today, the Negroes of the United States were accused of fomenting a nation-wide conspiracy to form social contact with the whites with Virginia selected as the battleground. An imaginary strong, rich organization composed of Negroes and whites was pictured as seeking "social equality" with the seating of audiences as their point of attack. Warnings of bloodshed were waved in the face of the committee, if Virginia doesn't act now and pass the Massenburg bill. Homer Ferguson, president of Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, declared he knew as much about Negroes any man in Virginia, boiling one of the largest employers of colored labor in the state, and that during his years of contact with the race he had not on a single occasion ever been treated with disrespect by a Negro. He strongly opposed the bill and defended Hampton Institute. Richmond, Va.—In spite of the various and pressing economic issues, such as tax reform, the fee system, simplification in government, that confront the Virginia General Assembly at the present term, anti-racial hysteria is to the front in both houses, and seeking to find expression in legislation. The most acrimonious discussions and the most lengthy public hearings have centered around the so-called racial integrity bills. The Senate committee on general laws held a three-hour hearing on the Massenburg bill today, in which both the proponents and opponents of the measure engaged in warm discussion. Both sides were strong and the committee passed the bill by without reporting until Friday. In the meantime the colored people of Virginia are amazed at the arguments advanced by the supporters of the measure. Not since the Civil War has the race been so grossly libelled as to its real hopes and aspirations, before a (Continued on Page Seven) Hundreds Pack St. John Church To Hear Last Rites Over Remains Of Father Anthony Miller. LIFE OF DECEASED IS TOUCHINGLY EULOGIZED All that was mortal of "Father" Anthony A. Miller, founder and head of the society of the Children of Israel, devout churchman for more than a half century remnant of anti-bellum days, sincere friend of man and widely-known citizen, rests beneath the clods in Calvary cemetery. Probably 10,000 people witnossed the passing of his remains in a snail-likes pace to the delicate tramp of the Premier Military Band to their final resting place Sunday afternoon Of this vast crowd that bowed in reverent homage to the memory of the remarkable man, just as many as could possibly do so, approximately 1,600, crowded into the auditorium of St. John's A. M. E. Church to hear the funeral mits. The church was packed, so much so that the pastor was forced to ask all persons having no particular interest in the obsequies to vacate in order that there might be room for the members of the societies with which the deceased was affiliated. 2.000 In Procession When the funeral procession swung out from Goff and Church streets in front of King's funeral parlors, in the line were probably 2,000 reverent marchers, members of the society founded by the deceased; members of the Knights of Jerusalem and representatives of Rising Sun lodge of Masons, who had charge of the funeral. When the procession reached the church, milling around the doors there were about 1000 people, some mournful, others reverent and still more just curious. Although considerable time was consumed in getting the unwieldy crowd into the church, or that part of it which it was possible to get in, there was no disorder and no confusion. When the pastor, Rev. J. Arthur Young, finally began the services it was near three o'clock, more than an hour later than they were scheduled to begin. There were then hundreds of people, disappointed because of their inability to get into the church, still standing on the outside where they milled around until dispersed by a cold drizzling rain. So dense was the crowd that a Guide reporter made several fruitless attempts to enter the church through the front doors, finally succeeding by taking a circuitous route through the pastor's study in the rear after several importances to get by a church officer who was on guard there. Crowd of Ministers Present On the spacious rostrum with the pastor were enough ministers of Norfolk and vicinity to take every inch of available space. Around the altar other ministers and members of the Masonic lodge crowded. Rev. Young, aware of the lengthy program that was to be gone through, made every part of the services that was in his personal charge brief. His eulogy, though short, was touching. The pastor spoke from Deut. 34:1, the lesson drawn from Moses viewing the Promised Land, after 40 years leading the Children of Israel.

A.N.P. HON. JAMES A. COBB COBB NAMED TO SUCCEED LAST JUDGE TERRELL No Opposition To Confirmation Expected In Senate; Washington Lawyer Has Fine Record. By LOUIS R. LAUTIER Washington, D. C., Feb. 17—President Coolidge last Monday nominated James A. Cobb, an attorney, of 613 F street, northwest, to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia to succeed the late Judge Robert H. Terrell. The Senate referred the nomination to the Judiciary Committee. The nomination of Attorney Cobb is the climax of a stubborn light that has been waged for the place ever since the death of Judge Terrell principally between Mr. Cobb and R. R. Horner. There were possibly a half dozen or more local candidates. Appointment Delayed Charges and recriminations delayed the appointment. The Department of Justice made two investigations into the suitability of the candidates. At the conclusion of the first, it was reported that the name of Mr. Horner was transmitted to the White House. Friends of Mr. Cobb appealed to Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee in his behalf. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., saw the President in person and urged the appointment of Mr. Cobb. The matter was returned to the Department of Justice for further investigation. Mr. Cobb prepared a detailed answer to the charges that had been preferred against him. As a result his nomination was sent to the Senate last Monday. Wood Held Under Narcotic Charge James (Tex) Wood, proprietor of a pool room on East Brambleton avenue was held under $7,500 bond for the May term of Federal Court by United States Commissioner Brinkley when arraigned on a narcotic charge Monday. Wood was arrested a week ago by narcotic agents who raided his place of business, accompanied by police officers. The officers claimed to have set a trap for him with marked money, which they assert was found on his person. Wood denied the charge and asked that his bond be reduced. This the Commissioner refused to do. "Tex" Wood is widely known in the Queen street district. Atlanta Constitution Resents Greensboro, (N. C.) Daily News Editorial; Columbus Enquirer-Sun States Facts "INDEPENDENT" CITES SPECIFIC INSTANCES The Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News, who along with a dozen or more Southern dailies advertise critically criticised Atlanta's barbor ordinance, drew from the Atlanta Constitution what purports to be a defense of Georgia's reputation regarding the Negro when in an editorial under the caption, "Georgia Insanity," the News vigorously denounced the ordinance and declared: "It is a frank use of the white man's government to take legitimate business away from black men and place it in the hands of white men without reason or justice* * * If there is anything wrong with Negro barbers in Atlanta, the fair policy is not to take away their business but seek the wrong and right it. But who cares about a fair policy for Negroes in Georgia?" The concluding sentence of that statement, coming under the notice of the Atlanta Constitution, brought the following retort from that newspaper: Atlanta Constitution's Editorial "Every upstanding, worth-white citizen of Georgia—and the overwhining majority of our people come under that classification—not only 'cares' about a 'fair policy for Negroes,' but outspokenly stands for and sees that such a policy is administered to Negroes. "There isn't a thoughtful, honest Negro leader in Georgia who will say that this state does not treat Negroes fairly in every way—in the recognition of their citizen rights, in the payment of their labor, in the services of government—including schools and the protection of their lives and homes and properties—and in every way consistent with the inalienable predominance of the white race. "Negroes in the south do not expect, nor do they get, nor will they ever get, what is politically termed "social equality." Whatever there is found any so-called "social equality," there is found also industrial and national direcimination of a most distressing nature—for the Negroes. "Many of those who have been inveigled into Northern industrial centers on the promises of "more liberal social atmosphere" have found that to their sorrow—and far too many of them have found it out with their lives. "In Georgia the Negro defendant gets the same consideration as the white defendant—they both stand equal before the law. Lynchings have been greatly reduced—and we hope will be entirely eliminated—because the people, though perhaps outraged by a crime, have found out that the law is sure, and not so slow as it used to be. "The Negro violator must pay the penalty demanded by the law. And he will. So will the white violator. "Georgia shows as much justice and as much fairness to the Negro as any state in the union—and a great deal more than some. "North Carolina does not treat the Negro any more fairly than Georgia does. "Because a few councilmen, unwittingly and thoughtlessly, perhaps passed an unwise local measure, there is no reason, in justice to Georgia, to charge or intimate that we do not treat the Negro fairly in this state. The bill at issue was quickly reconsidered. It is not a law." Enguirer-Sun's Editorial At the Constitution's attempted defense of Georgia's reputation, the Columbus (Ga.)

UNCONSTIT S YOUNG POLICE COURT TEST STRIKES BLOW AT LAW Aged Eman In Nor 5,000 "Freed Men" UNCONSTITUTIONAL White Merchant Arrested On Warrant Charging Violation When He Moves In The Colored Section. CONSTITUTIONALITY OF LAW TO BE ATTACKED Police Justice R. B. Spindle on Thursday morning in the case of D. H. Edwards versus Nathan Fall ruled that Norfolk's residential segregation ordinance is unconstitutional. The ruling has the effect of squashing the charge of violating the law brought against Nathan Fall, a white merchant, by Edwards, acting as complainant for the local N. A. A. C. P. Although Justice Spindle's ruling constitutes a victory for the complainants, they, thru their attorneys, W. W. Foreman and B. J. Barnes have noted an appeal, merely to secure an opinion from a court of record, the Police Court not being such. The first court test of Norfolk's residential segregation ordinance came at the instigation of colored people, acting as complainants and not as defendants such as has invariably been the case in every court test of this sort of municipal legislation. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through its president, David H. Edwards as complainant brought court proceedings against Nathan Fall, white merchant who recently moved into the store, 1300 Chanel, and began a grocery business, to test the constitutionality of the law on the grounds that the building is located in a strictly colored section and his occupancy of it with his family therefore, is in violation of the segregation ordinance passed last summer. Incidentally, this is the first case on record in the history of the attempts of certain localities to separate the residential sections of the races by statute that Negroes have been on the offensive instead of the defensive to test the law. Arrested Saturday Warrant charging violation of the law was served on Fall and his arrest effected Saturday afternoon. He gave bond. Monday (Continued on Page Seven) MAN KILLED IN RESISTING POLICE OFFICER MAN KILLED IN RESISTING POLICE OFFICER Eley Britt Of Franklin Victim Of Policeman's Bullet When He Declines To Submit To Arrest And Shows Fight. Franklin, Va.—Eley Britt was shot and killed by Chief of Police Darden Thursday afternoon while that officer was attempting to place him under arrest. Britt was accused of stealing a quantity of groceries from a local merchant. When Chief Darden accosted and sought to arrest him, he was said to have declined to submit to arrest, but jumped on the officer and fought him until the policeman was forced to draw his revolver and fire. The bullet lodged in Britt's side. Following an inquest over his body Friday, it was buried at the expense of the county near Hays Springs in a casket box without regard to decency of burial. The community became so aroused over that method of burying the man, that at the instance of Mrs. Emma Parker as leader, the neighbors had the body disinterred and turned over to a local undertaker with instructions that he prepare it for a Christian burial at their expense, which was done. Reinterment was made Monday in Franklin cemetery. The deceased is survived by his wife and a small child. STITUT NG W Aged Recor Emancipati In Norfolk 5,000 "Freed Men" Took Part In Great Event of 1863; Names Of Langley And Cross Mentioned. PROCESSION ASSEMBLED ON QUEEN STREET Out of the obscurity of 63 years there came to the Journal and Guide this week through the kindness of James M. Harrison, prominent local citizen, what is believed to be a genuine original record of the first emancipation celebration held by the colored people of Norfolk, and the minutes of the proceedings leading thereto. According to the musty record, the event took place on January 1, 1863, with more than 5,000 "freed men" participating. The printed story of it is dated, April 24, 1863, and signed by one George W. Cook, who explains in a footnote that it was drawn up from notes taken by one Rev. George N. Greene, the first missionary to the "freed men" of Norfolk, who witnessed the celebration. The venerable paper, yellowed with the accumulation of the years, is quite well preserved, being torn and tattered only where creased and around its outer edges. Its type is entirely legible, and it bears a good specimen of printing, a kind that might do credit to a number of print shops of modern days. The body type is surrounded with a flashy border, but not a great deal unlike many seen on later day printing. The whole sheet is about seven inches wide and a foot long. A three-inch margin is between its border and outer edges. The paper appears to have been of excellent stock and with good care will probably survive another half-century. The wording is properly displayed in various type faces according to the required emphasis, just as is done in modern printing. The antique record, aside from being a curiosity, discloses some choice bits of history relating to Norfolk Negroes. On it are mentioned the names of William Kiling. William Sparrow, William Miller, William Jacobs, William Oliver, Edward Eichhelberg, Samuel Boskin, Edward Langley and Robert Cross, all of whom were aids to John Milton, who was chief marshal of the celebration. Five Williams are mentioned, which shows William was a popular name in the stirring pre-Civil war days. The speeches and prayer, according to the old record, were in good English, which indicates that there were some fairly well educated Negroes in Norfolk 'to de war. The mammoth parade assembled on Queen street and was accompanied by two brass bands, which shows that Queen street always has been the center of the colored section of Norfolk, and that the people here always have had their brass bands. The celebration was known as the "Freed Men's" Celebration. It was held on January 1, 1863, the very day on which Lincoln's final proclamation was issued. It shows therefore, that the event which the colored citizens celebrated here on the first day of last month with elaborate exercises had its beginning not some years after freedom, but on the first day of the first year the Negroes became free. But one might ask, without reference to his history, how was it that these people were able to make so elaborate preparations for the col. (Continued on Page Seven). J. A. ROGERS, AUTHOR IN THE CITY J. A. Rogers, author of from "Superman to Man," who recently returned from a trip to England and France from whence he contributed several articles on race conditions in those countries to the Journal and Guide, arrived in the city this week to spend a few days.

ONE DEAD, WHILE OTHER MAY RECOVER An automobile and whiskey combined to exact another life and dangerously threatened one more on the Suffolk-Portsmouth boulevard Sunday evening about 6 o'clock, when Miss Gladys Ricks, 16 years old, was instantly killed and her sister, Margaret, was seriously injured by a car driven by C. C. Pollack, white, of Mt. Vernon avenue, Portsmouth. The girls were run down from behind. They were on their way home and were going in the same direction of the automobile which was coming to Portsmouth. The tragic accident occurred in front of Nansenond Institute in the Suffolk section known as Jericho. The girls were the daughters of Robert Ricks. Pollock was arrested by Chief of Police W. J. Morgan and Officers Rawls and Solmon and lodged in the Nansenond county jail on charges of murder, of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor and with transporting liquor. The liquor charges were preferred against him after a search of his car revealed a quantity of whiskey, according to the officers making the arrest. The victims were two of several sisters, some of whom are students in the school in front of which the accident happened. They also are survived by their father and grandmother. It is believed that Margaret will recover. HEARINGS HELD ON SENATE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL By LOUIS R. LAUTIER Washington, D.

EDITORS NOTE The Upward Trend of the The Upward Trend of the War For the past week we have died the Negro in history, and the Negro managed to obtain importance. But lies a world bind their glory that to erase would mean to extinguish a haze that started many years ago in our beloved South. The vision of it is impatiently inhibited by brings back painful thoughts of brings back painful thoughts of our wounded past, a path that peered as by an arrow. You will forget that past and force a ward to that unknown future holds for us, who know future Wonder? Yes! Glory? Yes! bove all is a help to a will will forge onward as we know until it reaches that great mortal accomplishments. But it is the temerity of a dream that be measured, but that is a path that is stained by a blot. It not blotted as easily as man that past; but us get a picture a huge southern farm, on its and working numbers of cisel slaves, some as privileged others as laborers for the cisel their master, who sees to it a strictness is enforced in the disease of his farm. Day in and day the slaves work on his some in the rice fields others in cotton fields and still others in corn fields, yet all for the best of their cisel pictures a monster mployed in every part of his by the lashes of the tasks by the burning rays of the sun by the thought, above all being able to help his race people. Then you have a slave as they peared in general during the day of slavery. What could he be look? What would be your desire to be free, to to kill for the harm done his treedown race. Do you wonder after securing his freedom he kills his master, who had treated with so undue courtesy? New cannibal. The master slaves who after Civil War came to help them said, but literally to take freedom and case it as they were an animal. So many as we back over that dark must we but seem pleased, for our own upward trend, which has not from a time of the issuing of Emancipation Proclamation—the years—but has it been worth effort?

Short, original contributions on subjects of general interest are welcomed and will be published when space permits. Norfolk Girls African Missionaries Among the consecrated workers who have gone to Africa for the uplift of the needy are two Norfolk girls, Miss Viola Carter and Miss Sarah C. Williamson. These young women have sent home most encouraging reports of their efforts. "The Southern Workman," quotes the following passages from a recent letter from Miss Williamson, now at the Bible Industrial Mission, Fortville, Grand Bassa, Liberia: "We close school in November because summer begins then and I am planning a trip into the interior. We carry a gift to the king of each village and he allows us to hold meetings and visit his people. "When you get this letter I shall have been here one year. How quickly it has passed!" "Monrovia is a beautiful city; but I am a long way from the city, and our station is miles from a civilized town. We are in the Bush surrounded by native towns." "I love it here. There is so much to do I only wish for longer days and more hands. We have 208 children in our mission. We begin our day at 5:30 a.m. m., and end at 9:00 p.m. At six all students report in line on our front porch. During the thirty minutes they dress and clean the dormitories. We have them count off to make sure they are all with us as they sometimes steal off into the Bush. Then they report to the different industrial departments. For the girls, there are sewing, laundry, kitchen work, and cleaning; and for the boys, carpentry, printing, campus cleaning, gardening, and farming. At 8:30 they stop work, wash, and get ready for breakfast. At ten the children march into chapel for devotions and at 10:30 to classes. School closes at two; we have a recreation hour and at three all report to their industrial work. Dinner is at five, then they study, have prayers, and lights are out at nine." Love and Cosmetics Work Hand in Hand "Love is a great beautifier," writes Hazel Ruwal Cades in the March Woman's Home Companion. "You've no notion how, secretly, the beauty specialist depends on it to put the punch into their cosmetics. You'd be surprised how often I restrain myself from recommending it—though why I restrain myself I'm sure I can't tell you, there being no delicate reason, so far as I can see, why love should not be preached as well as a cleansing creams and fish-flops. "Love is a great beautifier. And this is funny, for it is neither expensive nor comfortable. So far as I can determine, it hits one with undesirable suddenness in the middle of one's equilibrium, and hurts. People tell me that the earlier stages, known as falling in love, are distinctly prickish—fragrant ght with pangs, chills, sighs and a poor appetite. A time for moons but not for cheeses. When families grow offensive, noises seem noisier, time drags, and all one's hats and all one's eyelashes prove inadequate. "Boys fall in love and slick their hair. Young men grow mustaches. Girls discover that the family nose is all wrong. And young women find they haven't a thing to wear. "Love is a great beautifier. Like sun and rain it makes the garden bloom. * * * * * * "A nondescript girl begins to unfold bright petals. A sparkle steals into her rather ordinary eyes. Her mouth grows sweeter and a little creeping flame enkindles her. The public has eyes for this sentimental of thing. It's really a sentimental old piece, yearning for romance always, even though vicious. A sight like this is warming to its cockles. It smiles, and says rather audibly, behind its hand, "Love is a great beautifier." "Do you want to be interesting? Do you want to be popular? Do you want to be loved? Then think about this: "Love is a great beautifier. Beauty is a great love-lifer. And the world wants more of both. "When your business is to try to make people better-looking, you do believe with a brave crusading spirit in both love and cosmetics." FOR PIMPLY SKIN "All pimps are inflammation of the skin." says Peterson, "and the best and quickest way to get rid of them is to use Peterson's Ointment." Used by millions for eczema, skin and scalp itch, ulcers, old sores and piles. Big box: 60 cents. Peterson's Ointment WOMAN MAGISTRATE SAYS MORE PARENTAL TIME IS NEEDED FOR CHILDREN Business is getting by far too much of the time of American fathers, and children not nearly enough, thinks Judge Jean F. Norris, who has presided over a New York court for six years. The alarming increase in juvenile delinquency that is of so much concern to the country at large, could be effectively curbed, if mothers and fathers would insist upon respect of parental authority. "If children are not taught to obey their parents, certainly it is not surprising for them to refuse to obey the law," says Judge Norris. Other conditions which this eminent jurist finds conducive to crime are housing conditions under which there is little privacy, lack of religious training and ignorance of self-control. TOILET PREPARATIONS AND THE TARIF Washington, D. C.-Due to the protective tariff policy of the U. S. Government, which has not permitted the wholesale dumping on the American market of toilet preparations made by the cheap expert labor in France and other European countries, the business of manufacturing this line of goods has been profitable. During the past twenty years, several large fortunes have been amassed by progressive women and men of our race through the manufacture and sale of cosmetics and other toilet preparations for the race and hair. The success of these business ventures has been marvelous, and a greater pride in personal appearance has been awakened. The gate has been opened to permanent employment, in the manufacturing plants where these preparations are made, to hundreds of young colored women; while as many more find profitable employment in conducting beauty parlor and sales agencies for these almost indispassible articles. These manufacturing establishments, beauty parlors and sales agencies constitute the greatest business training schools that have yet been opened to those ambitious self-supporting colored women whose educational qualifications and social life demand a better setting than is afforded by the limitations peculiar to domestic service. The Malones, the Walkers, the Overton, Miss Jennie Proctor of the Strait-Tex Chemical Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., and others who have so successfully manufactured and merchandised their goods and created a national market for products made by colored workers have contributed largely to the economic progress of the females of our social group. HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER. Depart. Dept., Calumet Baking Powder, Co. 1 8-4 cups flour 1 3-4 level teaspoons Calumet Baking Powder 1-2 level teaspoon salt 1. tablespoon melted butter Sift flour; then measure; then add baking powder and salt and sift three times; add milk gradually, yolks of eggs well beaten; butter, and whites of eggs beaten stiff; cook on a greased hot waffle iron. Serve with maple syrup. 1,ff To use up the last two or three tablespoons of a jar of pickles or relishes add it to French Dressing and pour over a head of crisp lettuce. If the relish is quite moist, just mix salad oil with it. Odds and ends may be added to mayonnaise dressing with equally good results. When I wish to use grated cheese and find it too soft to grate, I cut ceit into small pieces and press it through by potato ricer. During cold weather, when the butter rets too hard to spread, heat a bowl by pouring hot water into it. After letting it stand a few minutes, empty, place it over the butter. In several minutes butter will be soft enough to use. Instead of using sugar to sweeten whipped cream, I sometimes use manne syrup. This gives the cream a delicious flavor and is a change. Reason Why Ungreased Pans Are Used for Angel Cake—This is again a matter of friction. When the sides of the cake rise they will stick or cling to the ungreased tin, and thus help to hold up the rest of the cake as it rises. If the pan were greased there would be no sticking, no friction to interfere with the outside of the cake sliding down again and drawing with it the inside. Veal Loaf with Tomato Sauce Potatoes Au Gratin Salad Hot Biscuits Butter Jelly Date Pudding with Whipped Cream USEFUL HINT If a small tin of vinegar is placed on the stove at the time that cabbage or greens are being cooked, there will be decided less sensing of the disagreeable scent that usually pervades the house.

The outlook for the potato grower for 1926 is clearly shown in a recent statement of the United States Department of Agriculture which should be of interest to all growers in Virginia. Growers of early potatoes who can market their product by the first week in June need have little fear of overproduction this season, ut growers in the intermediate, and late potato states will need to keep a close watch on the average being V.

At Fisk she went into classes in education and addressed one of the classes. She was received with much interest and enthusiasm by friends. Miss Colson's addresses in Tulsa were received with much enthusiasm by the section in primary education. She spoke at one of the general assemblies on the objectives of primary education. On her return home she visited friends in Kansas City and her sister in Chicago. She returns greatly inspired because of what she saw and the possibilities offered by the V. N. and I. L. Florida Students Against Lynching Tallahassee, Fla., Feb. 11.—The student body of Florida State College for Women has entered the fight against lynching in this state by adopting and sending to Gov. Martin a resolution protesting against "such violations of law and justice," and pledging hearty support to the Governor and other officials in the effort to rid the state of this crime. The resolution, formulated by the Executive Committee of the Student Government Association and the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and endorsed by the student body grew out of the lynching of a Negro near Ocala, January 11. "We realize," says the resolution, "that responsibility for such violation of the laws of the state and the principles tests upon citizens of Florida. As citizens of the state and present or future voters we deplore such violation of law and justice, and assure you, the Governor of Florida and other officials of the state, of our hearty support in the efforts you are making toward ridding the state of this crime." Similar resolutions were adopted by the South Florida Diocese of the Episcopal Church. It is stated also that a petition to the Governor, asking an investigation of the recent lynching, is being prepared by leading citizens of Ocala and other sections. BRIGHTON FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. E. M. Tyre, the pastor, delivered a very spiritual sermon here Sunday morning last from Ezekiel 34:12, "The Work of a Good Shepherd." Rev. Askew, of Edenton, N. C., was present at the services, and preached at 7:30 o'clock from Rev. 1:10, "In the snift on the Lord's." Rev. J. N. Neil, a devoted member and usher of this church died recently.

If the total acreage of potatoes in the United States is not increased over the very low acreage harvested in 1925 it is probable that good profits would be again secured. If the acreage is increased 7 per cent it would be equal the acreage harvested in 1921, when, on account of abnormally high yield many more potatoes were grown than could be marketed. If the acreage is increased by 10 per cent and a yield of 110 bushels per acre is secured, the production could be 377 million bushels, which is about the average production in the United States during the last ten years. If the acreage is increased as much as twenty per cent as it was following the short crop of 1916, a yield of 110 bushels per acre would give a crop of 411,000 bushels, which is the equivalent of 3.55 bushels per capita. During the last 75 years such a crop has, in nearly every case, reduced returns from potatoes sufficiently below those from competing crops to cause a reduction in the acreage of potatoes planted the following year. Conditions are so abnormal this spring that, outside of the very early states, no individual farmer can afford to plant a greatly increased acreage of potatoes without taking into consideration the acreage being plated by others.

The Journal and Guide is in the athletic field again to bring organization to bear on sports that have been on the wane in these parts. Basketball seems to be fairly well underway, with the best assurance of success until the curtain is rung down on the final act, and efforts are now being turned towards baseball. The Guide's plan is to place baseball on some kind of a footing and support the National Pastime as it is basketball. There is much baseball material here and the bringing together of this material and forming a league of some kind, might have a tendency to revolutionize the sport here. As yet, no definite plans of action have been framed, but the matter is under serious consideration. Whether a twilight, sandlot, or any other kind of baseball league will be formed, is not known yet, but before many days have passed, it is hoped that definite plans will be in the offing. A baseball league will be conducted upon the same principles as the basketball league, with some kind of trophy awarded the championship aggregation. PHI BETA SIGMA WALLOPS OMEGA Richmond, Va.—The Phi Beta fast five met and defeated the Omega cagers here last Tuesday night by a score of 22-17 at Johnson's Hall in the most thrilling contest ever witnessed in the history of Richmond's floor classics. The game was fast and thrilling throughout. Clever floor work and accurate passing characterized both teams. Enthusiasm ran high, and in spite of inclement weather, the great hall was jammed with anxious spectators. The Omegas were voted to win, but it was impossible for them to break through the generalship and perfect defense of Phi Beta. The first five seconds netted Phi Beta one free throw, scored by Gardner, and for the next seven minutes of play neither team scored a point, so stellar was the defense on both sides. Phi Beta broke the suspense when Millberry caged a ringer from the center of the floor. Then business picked up, and things got lively. Ballard and "Scrappy" did pretty work for the Omegas. Gross proved to be a power in guard for Phi Beta. The Lampados defeated the Crescent Club in an equally well contested game. The final score being 28-20. A. & T. SLIPS BY ONVA. SEMINARY Greensboro, N. C.—Feb. 9. The formidable basketball quintet from Virginia Seminary bowed in defeat to the A. and T. ball tossers by a close score of 22-19. From start to finish, the game was in doubt, the heavy end shifting from one quintet to the other. With one second to play and the score standing-16 to 15 in favor of the visitors, the steady eye of Streater, the dependable forward of the home team, sank a ball from the foul line into the basket, thus bringing the score to a 16-16 deadlock. This performance of Streater saved many of the A and T. spectators from heart failure and brought sorrow to the followers of Virginia. Although Whedbee and Brown shared the honors of being the outstanding players of Virginia, yet they were hard pushed by the other members of the squad. Whedbee was the highest individual point maker, basketing four field goals and two from the foul line. Streater and Beckwith tied for A. and T., making eight points each. A. and T.—22 Va.

DARTMOUTH "5" LOSE TO CENTER Forrest Whittaker, rangy pivot man for the Dartmouth University basketball five, ranks fourth in individual scoring in the Intercollegiate Basketball League, with ten field goals and seven foul-goals, a total of 27 points for four games. Whittaker had a wonderful chance to ease up to third place, but his hopes are slim now, because of the fact, that he has been declared ineligible on account of classroom work. The colored lad's ineligibility places Coach Watcher in an awkward position, as Whittaker was one of the main cogs of the Green cagers. The squad has already dropped a game since the center's absence and it is believed that the story would have been different with Whittaker in the lineup. AGGIES LOSE TO HAMPTON AGGIES LOSE TO HAMPTON Greensboro, N. C. Feb. 12—The famous Seasiders and champions of the C. I. A. A. lived up to their reputation and won from A. and T. College by a score of 32-16. In the first few minutes of play, A. and T. College did not show the form exhibited in former games played. During the latter part of the first half and the opening of the second half, the A. and T. boys hit their natural stride but collapsed in the final dash for victory. Hampton displayed excellent team work. Hargrove was the highest scorer, making 13 points. He and ris diminutive team mate. Lambright, were the stellar performers for the visitors. Captain Streater was responsible for 11 of the 16 points made by A. and T. College. THE LINEUP Substitutions: A. and T.

BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Columbus, Ohio—Feb. 12—A Negro team leads the intra-mural athletic league at Ohio State University. It came to pass tonight when a representative team of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Kappa chapter, registered a fine victory in its final game of the regular schedule, hurling back every dangerous attack of the Ohio State "Friends" to emerge victorious with a one point margin, 17 to 16. A With both teams rounding into real form, the game apparently will be a thriller. In addition to this game the Alphas plan a tour during spring vacation. A game is scheduled with the Mansfield Bluejackets for February 25, to be played there. Manager Albert Dixon is working on a schedule which is expected to include teams in Cincinnati, Kentucky, and Ohio. The halves tonight were 12 minutes long.

AFRICA TO HAVE GAMES IN 1927 Kenn New York Herald-Tribune. The athlete craze has spread to Egypt, and that country, is now organizing for 1927 the first African athletic sports meeting, which will be held at Alexandria in April of next year. The committee which will have charge of the games will have the assistance of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the former president of the International Athletic Union, the grand old man of athletics and the man responsible for the revival of the Olympic sports. The African games are to be exclusively for athletes of African origin and only for amateurs. Any one who has become a professional in any branch of sport whatsoever will not be allowed to take part in the games. Women athletes are barred from the Egyptian games. The Egyptians think that home is the proper place for women and not the playgrounds. The program includes athletic and cycling events, gymnastics, weight lifting, fencing boxing, rowing, swimming, lawn tennis and football. FORCE'LAMBAST WEST VIRGINIA Wilberforce in upholding the tradition of not having lost a game on its campus for a period of ten years completely outclassed West Virginia Institute in offense and defense. West Virginia Institute was helpless at the hands of "Wu Fang" Ward, and his phantoms of the court. The "Force's" system of offense and defense completely bewildered West Virginia's guards and netted them the large end of a 45-20 score.

Well timed passes and shots from difficult angles somewhat upset the Union skyserapers. Union jumped in lead as the game started, and half time found the Dragons trailing by six points. In the second half Reid started a rally with a beautiful shot from mid-floor. Perry and Brown followed with a double decker catch. Union again took lead when Ballard caged a hard one. From then on the game was constantly in doubt With only thirty seconds to play and Union leading by one point, Bumble Brown put the game on ice with a neat overhead shot. Brown, the elusive Union forward takes first honors with 10 points. Bates, the diminutive Germantown flash, comes in for second honors with nine points. Both teams played great ball, and only by a superhuman effort was Seminary able to down her ancient rival. THE LINEUP Seminary—29 Union—28 Bates F Ballard Reid F Brown Whedbee C Jardner Perry G C.

SEASIDERS DROP GAME TO MOREHOUSE AS PER CUSTOM HAMPTON FIVE UNABLE TO STEM TIDE OF DEFEAT AND SOUTHERN FOE ROMPS HOME WITH MELEE Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10th—Sensational basket work by Traylor coupled with the fierce guarding of Archer and Captain Bailey spelled disaster for the Hampton Institute Five, champs of the C. I. A. A. to be night as the Moroon Five galloned home to a 25-23 victory. Sustaining the dazzling pace set in the recent Clark game, Traylor again ran wild with a fusillade of short shots from every outlandish angle, scoring a goal. Capella, another highlight in the Morehouse victory ranking second in scoring with 5 points and unleashing some uncommonly obdurate guarding. The guarding of Archer was so tenacious that he was ejected from the brawl on excessive fouls early in the second half. Sykes, American guard, playing first as usual time and again, thrilled the spectators with his sensational dribbling and clever passing. After the removal of Archer from the game, he was shifted to his old position at guard and showed his old-time form, blocking the every effort of the Hampton forwards to shoot. Brown, speedy Hampton forward was the only invader who managed to circumvent the ferocious Maroon Tigers. He lead his team with seven points. The opening period was red hot, with a hectic struggle for the upper lace. The Lightning Five had the upper hand all the time except twice, once when the Seasiders had a one point lead for a few seconds and again when they tied the score. Morehouse was leading 13-11 at the end of the first half. The Hampton Five came back strong in the second and the going was exceedingly rough at the end. Numerous fouls were called on both teams. Hampton fought steadfastly until the timekeeper's whistle called to an end the glorious event, but were unable to overtake the lead established by the Maroon quintet. Morehouse—25 HOWARD QUINT TRIMS YELLOW JACKETS Washington, D. C., Feb. 13. After a lay-off of two weeks the Howard University basketball team came back upon the court and displayed some great playing to win two games in three days. On Thursday night, February 11th Howard's Quintet showed the way to the local Alcoa club to the tune of 43-32. Not being satisfied with that, they proceeded to trim the last West Virginia Institute five here today, Saturday, February 13, with the final score 42-20, with a grimness shown by each team and for the first few minutes neither team could get within scoring distance of the basket. Coach Burr feeling that the first string boys had done their bit substituted an entire new team on the floor. The score continued to raise, and it seemed that the new team played as well as the old. To prove this Andy Washington in center for Spears ended the scoring with the prettiest shot of the game. According to Andy he lost control of a pass and it went in the basket without touching the rim. The Line-up Howard—12 W. Va.—20 Coates F. Sinclair Berry F. Redd Spears C. Gatters Bundrant G. Green L.

SAINT JOSEPH'S 1926 MINSTREL ENTERTAINING BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. St. Joseph's "Minstrels of 1926," staged at the Academy of Music, Tuesday night were well received and enjoyed by one of the largest audiences, yet witnessed at the many performances presented by the school program was some what a changed from previous stages of the minstrels, but carried the same amount of high class entertainment and interest throughout the card. The first part was a band concert rendered by the St. Joseph mixed band, with Dr. J. Bailey as director. The band had an excellent program, which was ably rendered by the young boys and girls who compose this musical aggregation. Among the best numbers on the concert program were, "Sailly High" seaside tale and "Plume of Purity," a march. These were good numbers and brought much an audience. The second part was cleverly carried out and proved a source of amusement for the many onlookers. There were a number of new, gags that did not fail to produce a hearty guffaw. Joseph Rowly and Robert Watts, endmen, were the life of the show, with their funny sayings, comical appearance and actions. Included in the second part, were several musical numbers, and the best among these were, "Oh Susanna," sung by Cornell Bullock, and "The Songs My Mother Used To Sing," by Newby. This piece stood out far above the rest. George Newby had a voice which was clear and far requeuing. The original Charleston number done by James Jones brought many excores and he was called back to the footlights twice. All said, the St. Joseph's "Minstrels of 1929" were as good Tuesday night as they have always been and the school is continuing to score with its amusing clean and high class comedy skits.

THIS FIGHT OUGHT TO BE A CLASSIC THUSK FROTHERS CHRYST GREB "THE PITTSBURG WINDMILL" "THE DEMON DEALON" The coming championship battle between Tiger Flowers and Harry Greb, the middleweight title holder will be a round of concentrated action from the first bell until the final punch. Weak hearts will have no business at this fray, one in which anything is likely to happen. The moments will be tense throughout and many hearts will, no doubt, miss a beat when these two pairs of flying fists start in action. Greb, dubbed the Pittsburgh Windmill is a fast stepper and furious plenty sped while he is in there doing his stuff. Flowers is another two-fisted fisticuffers and he is action personified. When a pair of the go-getting type meet, something is sure to happen in the way of a thrill and a spill. When these babies begin sucking, something is sure to rall, and it will hardly be the Tiger. This fight holds all the aspects of being a classic. Such types as those two scrappers are, is enough to make any fisticuffing party a classic. Southern SPORT TRAIL By Thomas W. Young At least the eyes of Norfolk are turned to another phase of sports. The Journal and Guide Basketball League has passed over its first stages with pleasing results, and no one will dare say that the first attempt to make the play all a basketball was a failure. It is too bad about this town that it has hitched to shown affections only for sandlot baseball and only a little better system of football activity. Recently, some two or three summers ago, the fans took a funerary and in 1924 the instructor Tennis Club was organized for activity. Now, the seaport has her first basketball league, and there are rumors of a truck meet to be staged later in the year. Not so had for a few years' growth in athletics. Of course, this backward tendency of the Norfolk folk excludes the old days of the Queen Street Y, M. C. A. which was under the rection of Mr. Duncaney, those days they were metre fields, field days and the like. It excludes the reign of the Monarchs, the red-blooded tribe of football lovers and players; it excludes times like the day when tennis devotes swarmed about the courts by the N. and W. railroad track and watched "Stumpy" Robinson and "What's got some white men to figgerin' and serrutein' dere hails is de fact dat altho dey tries dere best to hold de 'nigger' down and tho's every possible obstruction in his path, h'il beats de debil how he keeps on—'risin'.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE GIRL PITCHER HOLDS HER OWN AGAINST BROTHER BASEBALLERS BY WILLE A. JOHNSON, JR. To say that athletic activities are mainly for men, would seem to be somewhat off, because those of the so-called weaker and vainier sex are fast coming in for their share of the sportive spotlight and are showing a good bit of both athletic and physical prowess. Hearing of a girl or young woman breaking through in some branches of sport does not cause the least vipple over the tranquil surface of things. There are some members of sports that the sexy site sex naturally adapted to, but a woman or girl coming thru in a number of sports to attract attention, causes a great deal of commotion. And here is one—baseball. It is granted that there are a number of young women who are quite good at the national pastime, but when one takes her place among the men of no small ability and holds her own, that's a horse from another stable. This is ex-team Mia Miss Hilia Mia Mackenjing, of Kinshasa, N. S. She is holding her own as a pitcher against some of the best men baseballballs in her section of the state. According to her own story, "Kinston Lizzie," as Miss Jenkins is called, doesn't know how she got that way. She had a beginning like everybody else that does anything at all. She says, according to the family records, she was born February 22, 1910, in Lenoir county, Kinston, N. C., and is the youngest, not stating how many more there were hesies herself. She lived near Kinston College for some time and had an opportunity to see the college nine in their workouts and scheduled games, but this didn't seem to be of much consequence in itself. She said, her mother would get her a very hard hall to play with her to see how far she could throw it. She seemed to like the idea of ball throwing and would have her mother to give her a ball to play with often. When she was out of a ball, she would throw bricks, rocks, stones and anything else that was throwable. After she began throwing things around, watching the boys play ball in the vacant lots and at Kinston College, baseball, then seemed to have some appeal for her. She continued her tossing around of the balls, throwing them into balls, a few caves, and then she saw the boys putting on the balls, after having explained to her what a curve was. Played With Girls First Time still went on, as time will do and "Kinston Lizzie" began playing with the bigger girls who cast their lots among the knights of swat. She said, that she had no desire to pitch when she learned to play ball with the larger girls. She elected to play first base, which she did until pitching seemed to have a peculiar lure for her. She was anxious to try her hand at a pitching position, fascinating to her and Miss Jenkins played with the boys at every available opportunity. She advanced very rapidly and the boys began to notice her adaptability. She pitched her first game on Easter Monday, 1925 and the score ended at 3-0 for the team with the female (wrier). Then, on May 15, Miss Jeankins got another chance to show her ability as a pitcher, when her team, the Lincoln City nine crossed hats with the Tower team and lead team in the 3-6, with "Kinston Lizzie" on the mound. She said her team had not lost a game since she's been playing and she has pitched in every game since her affiliation with the aggregation. Exhibition Planned There are several exhibition games planned for Miss Jenkins, in order that she may show her wares before a larger audience. An exhibition of this kind is sure to bring out a multitude of wild-eyed fans. Miss Jenkins, who is also referred to as the Diva, has struck out more than two-thirds of the male opponents to oppose her. And any time a woman can stack up against the ball players produced in the Old North State, she's there with the goods. North Carolina turns out some excellent baseball material—meaning men, women, and children to the front and hold her own against the best in her section, she's a wonder. TYLER DRUGS LOSE TO HI-Y BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Columbus, Ohio - Feb. 18 The score tied the lead, the lead was exchange in less than nine times, and by actual count no less than two-thirds of the goals made in the entire game were from mid-court or beyond in tonights thrilling contest between Columbus' two outstanding quintets, the Tyler Drugs and the HI-Y Club. Club isished by the count of 85 favoring it. There were several times tonight however when it appeared that Tyler Drugs, with fortilizing with those salts above this limit is a waste. ern- TRAIL Young Dr. Burke subdue the ancient, yet moden, Tally Holmes and his partisans, Tally Holmes, Mr. Jackson, as is Dr. Burke, among the elect on the netted court. These were days, gang, when a man was a man, a cat was a cat, and a dog was a dog, and nickle was five cents. At the present rate of progress, it looks like a revival of those times—a Renaissance of Norfolk athletics. Even so, there are several obstacles which must be overcome before best results can be expected. In the first place, the dribblers, if they are to cope with the captors or other rites. In the next instance, a track must be provided. Last year at the Hampton Track Meet, Union Street High walked away with the Tidewater Relay over a meagre supply of competition. Norfolk was not represented. There is a goodly supply or track ability in Norfolk. It needs only development which it cannot get without a track. Many things will be expected of Washington High this spring at the annual Hampton delays, and much will be added to their credit if they "come through" under such poor facilities. What is the trend of thought in Norfolk? SPORT GOODS WILL GO UP The value of athletic goods produced in the United States during the past year is estimated at $90,000,000, according to a summary in the "Sporting Goods Dealer," a magazine devoted to the trade. Recreation equipment has been above the normal demand of the consumer market, with low prices of this mode of merchandise. However, an upward trend in the cost to the consumer is expected, in the near future. This boost has already been noticed in golf balls and other sundry equipment. The average is ten cents each over current retail prices for December. The manufacturing trend showed an increase during the war period, which is said to be based on pseudo stimulation of the buyer demand and dropped, almost as suddenly in 1925. Dr. Turner Attends Science Meeting Hampton, Va.—Dr. Thomas W. Turner, of Hampton Institute, attended the 82nd annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which met this year at Kansas City, Missouri, in January. Dr. Turner read a paper before the Plant Physiology section of the Association on the effect of varying the nitrogen supply on the ration of tops to roots in flax plants. This paper was the result of studies carried on in the biological laboratory at Hampton. Figures and -lantern slides were given to show that flax, differing from other plants studied, is able to profit by applications of nitrates only up to a certain minimal limit and that Her Story COLLEGE IDS OLYMN 214 MISS LILLIE MAE JENKINS called "Kinston Lizzie," twirls the pill with marked ability.

Hi-Y fought its way into the lead time after time, again to have its all-floor man, Key, register the tree-throw that tied the count at 33:33, and then to accept for four of the five points that Hi-Y made from this stage.

It was her will against that of a strong man, and the whip was a big black rawhide thong. Rage and love were the opposing elements that provoked the contest. Miss Negri won—and, in winning, lost. She lost—and, in losing, won. It all depends upon how you look at it. The situation occurs in her new Paramount starring picture, "A Woman of the World," directed by Malcolm St. Clair. It furnishes the most tremendous scene of the drama. Holmes Herbert, portraying the City Attorney of a small town, is in love with Miss Negri, who plays "Countess Elnora Natatorin" Believing she has deceived him, he appears before the City Council and demands that she be forced to leave the community. When she hears of this, she seizes a horse whip and rushes into the Council room. The lash descends on his shoulders fiercely, cutting like a flail. He stands and rectives the punishment without a whimper. When her strength fails, she drops the whip. He picks up the whip and hands it back to her.

THE ATTUCKS ANNOUNCES PRIZE CONTEST BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Why you should patronize the Attucks Theatre is the subject of an essay contest conducted by the management of the popular playhouse, through the Norfolk District office of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. The contest will be a three months' affair, with the subject being changed each month and two prizes are offered, the first prize, $5 in gold and the second prize, a book of Attucks Theatre tickets. The contest is restricted to school children of the elementary grade. In putting on this contest, the management of the theatre is making an attempt to enlist a larger number of movie fans to attend the best colored theatre in the South and one of the finest and most modernly equipped in the city. The Attacks offers a cinema playhouse, that has never before been offered the colored patrons of Norfolk. Pictures The Attucks has been having some of the best pictures shown upown and for awhile, the house has been holding this record, but with the coming of the Robert Morton Pipe Organ, the theatre scored. The management struck a master stroke and local fans are accorded a race treat. The Attucks uses almost exclusively, an entire Paramount Picture program. There is no question to the merits of the production turned out by the Paramount studios. With such a wonderful array of master directors and stars, Paramount can well afford to produce some of the best screen versions possible. The using of this program by the Attucks, places the theatre in line to get the best Paramount produces. Rules of the essay contest and further particulars will be found in an ad-ad announcement on the sports and theatrical page.

Thomas refuted the charge, and explained how it would have been impossible for him or anybody else to commit such a crime in that place. Thomas said he had no idea that he had been charged with such a serious offense until he came to court. "I had no idea she had told them such a lie, why I never touched the woman," he told the court. Thomas went on to explain, "It was like this: Myself and friend had a half pint of whiskey between us and the woman asked for some. She didn't get it and got angry and walked over to the door. I slammed the door accidentally on her finger and that's why she had me arrested. I believe she was drunk." He was held for Corporation Court. ATHE FOR THE RACE Week of F MONDAY D. W.

Massenburg Bill In the lower house a fortnight ago Delegate Massenburg from Hampton introduced a bill designed to separate the races in assembly and entertainment halls. It is aimed specifically at Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute campus. A few days later the House committee on general laws held a public hearing on the measure. Among these speaking in opposition were some of the highest educators and influential citizens of the state, including J. Scott Parish, president of Richmond Chamber of Commerce; the C. S. Mitchell, of the University of Richmond; President R. B. Blackwell, of Randolph-Ma. College and Rev. Beverly D. Tucker in, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Richmond, and Richard W. Carrington, for member of the House of Delegates. These men asserted that there was no need for such a law and that it would unnecessarily disturb harmonious race relations existing in the state. Bill Passed Summoners of the measure, John Powell, Ernest S. Cox, Dr. Price, and Dr. Plecker, of Richmond, the former two known members of the Anglo-Saxon Club, raised the shibhole of "race purity, social quality" and members of the committee ran to cover behind the "smoke screen" reporting favorably the bill after ten minutes deliberation. A day or so later, virtually the entire House of delegates took fright at the passing of the bill passed the bill by a vote of GR to 4. On Monday last, however, before the Senate committee on general laws opposition to the measure stiffened. Its accompanying "racial purity" shibhole failure to stampede members of the committee into a ten-minute favorable report as was done in the House.

In the Institute Trustee Board and Rev W. T. Johnson, Richmond minister; Dr. J. F. Love, of Baptist Foreign Missionary Board. The hearing was lengthy and the committee postponed reporting the measure until Friday. The bill, although aimed primarily at a local situation in Hampton and at the Negro race, has wider ramifications than its sponsors probably gave thought to, a fact borne out in some of the speeches in opposition. That it will strike at Chinese and Japanese and probably provoke international ill-will, is one of the possible results of the measure, as indicated in speeches of Dr. J. L. Love, of the British M. A. Board, who declared it would apply to Oriental students attending the University of Richmond, and he believed it would be a reflection on the whites. Rev. W. T. Johnson, prominent colored minister of Richmond, spoke against the measure, declaring it would disturb the pleasant relations now existing between the races in the state to an extent that might require years to repair.

BOYD, founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board Plant, whose memory thousands of Baptists will honor in 30-day observance in month of March. A monument to his memory is being erected in Nashville, Tenn. Story on page 7. Homer Ferguson Speaks Homer Ferguson told members of the committee that he probably knew as much about colored people as any man in the state, being the largest employer of that sort of labor. He said during his years of contact with Negroes he had never been treated with disrespect by a single one of them. Answering a question put to him by Senator Mills, Mr. Ferguson admitted that some of the colored and white teachers of Hampton Institute ate in the same dining hall, but asserted he did not believe the institution had such equality. Both Captain Darling and Mr. Ferguson promised to use their influences as trustees to see that conditions at Hampton Institute eventually worked out smoothly, without the pressure of legislation. Dr. Tucker read resolutions passed by the Richmond Ministerial Union, the Baptist and Methodist Union, the Richmond and the foreign mission Union, the Southern Baptist Convention, all protesting against the measure. Proponents of Bill Proponents of the bill laid stress on what they termed teaching of social equality at Hampton Institute. They included John Powell, Ernest S. Cox, W. S. Copledish of the Newport News Daily Press; E. Schlater Montague, of Hampton; Harry H. Holt, clerk of the court of Elizabeth county; and numerous others. What has struck the Negroes of Virginia and of the country as the most astounding assertions based on what they believe to be dismal ignorance of the real aspirations of the race, was the statement made before the committee by John Powell to the effect that a movement was on foot now among the Negroes of Virginia and of the audience was only a means to that end and warned the committee that Virginia is to be made the point of attack. He said failure to pass the bill would be less than incendiary and warned of trouble if the bill did not pass. Negro publications, among them the Journal and Guide and the Crisis were accused of advocating "social equality." George Mallison, speaking for the measure declared that he had at some time read an Associated Press report that Hampon Institute taught "social equality" and that Virginia was to be made the battleground. Both Mr. Powell and Major Cox speaking for the bill pointed out the alleged danger of the condition at Hampton Institute, the former declaring Virginia had been selected as the point for beginning the break-down of racial differences. He said a wealthy organization composed of Negroes and whites were seeking social equality and that the seating of audiences was their point of attack. Mr. Powell warned of trouble, even bloodshed, in ease of attempt was made to check the numbers of Senators of the Senate committee asked several pointed questions, but no indication as to what kind of report they will make was obtained, although it was intimated that the bill might be amended to read "Negro" instead of "colored." This substitution would be inserted in order to avoid offending any other race except the black. Police Court Test Of Segregation Law (Continued from Page One) morning his case was called for a hearing before Police Justice Spindle with Mr. Edwards acting as complainant and B. J. Barnes and W. W. Foreman appearing as prosecuting attorneys. Falls was represented by Herman A. Sacks, who asked a continuance, intimating his intention of attacking the conspiracy tionality of the ordinance. The case came up for disposal Thursday morning when Judge Spindle gave his ruling. Suit Not Vindictive The president of the N. A. A. C. P. in an interview with a Guide reporter said that the suit was in no wise brought in a spirit of vindiciveness, but that it is the conviction of the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys that the law is unconstitutional and the suit was brought for the purpose of having it so de A similar law enacted by the City of Louisville, Ky., was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1917. It is certain that if there are convictions under the Norfolk law the same court will have an opportunity to pass upon its constitutionally. V. E. P. OPENS GAS APPLIANCE DEPARTMENT Service Will Be Under Supervision Of Experts of Gas Heating And Cooking; Demonstrations Daily. The Virginia Electric and Power Company has opened its new and modern gas appliance sales department with Mr. William E. McCreery as manager. Opening of this department to handle the retail sale of gas appliances, which heterofore has been left to private concerns, by the V. E. P. is in line with recently announced policy of rendering Norfolk patrons a full service. Some few weeks ago the company opened an electric appliance store to supply the users of its power with electric fixtures of every description, and with an electric service continuously under supervision of the company's experts. The same thing now has been done with the gas department. The company will supply every gas appliance in modern use, and along with the sale of the fixtures goes its gas service under the supervision of experts on gas cooking, heating and lighting. Free cooking demonstrations are now being conducted at the store under the supervision of Mrs. Lois Shelton home service demonstrator of the Oriole range division. A model kitchen forms a permanent part of the gas fixtures display of the department. The V. E. P. invites the public to visit the gas department and lay before the company experts its problems relating to gas heating and cooking. The cost of heating various size buildings, the most economical buildings at the best price, will cost the most money in the use of gas in the home or factory will be readily explained. Virginia Papers Condemn Bills (Continued from Page One) voicing opposition to the bill: "No more mischievous or ill-considered legislation has been proposed at Richmond than the so-called racial integrity bills. One of these bills proposes a state-wide law merely to meet a local condition at Hampton Institute. The other stirs up a perfect hornet's nest over a few harmless Indians. One would have thought that the present legislature had something of more real importance to which to turn its attention. "Virginia already has excellent provision for the separation of the races; it has ample statutes against any racial intermarriage, and it may be used that these regulations are not appropriate of the intelligent leaders of the coloured as well as of the white race. They make for peace and happiness as well as for racial purity. "But with this condition, from which Virginia has no intention of withdrawing, what is the reason for listening to a group of agitators who at a session of the university write with new hills on a subject already covered, who stir up racial animosity, and who do not seem to realize that they are doing vastly more harm than good?" News-Leader voices its sentiment on the hill in the following manner: Many Negroes who willingly obey the usage of the hospitals and public places do not want that usage made into a law. That is understandable. The only reason advanced for the bill requiring racial segregation in all public places and institutions is that conditions at Hampton Institute are said to require it. Those conditions are difficult and have not yet been worked out, though many people have been encouraged to an honest effort to that end. That effort will now be stimulated and matters will be brought to a head by reason of the discussion of this bill, which one house has adopted. Hampton is on notice of what Virginia expects of a school within her borders. If Hampton conforms to Southern custom, well and good. If Hampton does not, then the institute will have the blame of bringing all the Negroes of the South into contact that otherwise would not be necessary. For the sake of those Negroes outside Hampton, who accept the customs of the South, yet do not like to feel compulsion, it seems to the News Leader that action on this bill can well be deferred until 1928. That will give Hampton ample time to work her problem out, and will not affect conditions elsewhere. This is the counsel of prudence as well as of justice: the fewer the intervention, the better "Thou shalt not" is to be kept from the law whenever it is possible. A private citizen, joins the opposition and voices it through the columns of the Newport News Daily Press. He says: "It looks to me that the Anglo-Saxon is the intruder. Do you ever find a Negro in the state of Virginia applying for admission to any of the concerts sponsored by high schools, colleges, clubs? No. "Do they request seats (even if they were to be separated) in the majority of our theatres? No. Then these of us who do not choose to be seated in our institution should stay away from their entertainments, as the Negro stays away from places where he knows he cannot go. "I've grown to know, too, that all Negroes are not alike. Just as there are types in the Anglo-Saxon race so there are in the Negro race." A person of intelligence is not going to force himself where he is not wanted. How many of us would be willing to take the gallery seats if they were provided for us as they are for the Negro? No, we would want the better seats. Face this fact and we all know that the next issue be just where we were to be seated. Are you to make the Negro take the back seat in his own institution? Any one with spirit will not be "jimrowed" in his own place. PHILIP REEVES GUIDE TO START BUSINESS AND TRADE SECTION Will Be Devoted To Review And Comment On Local Enterprises, And National Trade Conditions. A number of progressive-spirited colored business men of this city desirous of availing themselves of every trade advantage in so far as such is practical with them have informed the Norfolk Journal and Guide through the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. that it is their wish to advertise regularly in these columns, but feeling that because of their financial inability to purchase large advertising space that their announcements are usually obscured by the larger ads and have suggested that this newspaper, "inaugurate a regular business section in its issues—that section to have a definite place as far as possible since it is not a business," and that their ads be grouped in this section along with other articles of general interest relating particularly to business. The Journal and Guide, in line with its policy of endeavoring to foster community welfare, accepts the suggestion and will with its next issue set aside such a section as suggested, and will aim to fill it with news of local and national business conditions along with the advertisements of local business enterprises. This section undoubtedly will prove of special interest to the Norfolk public. As suggested by the business men, it will be conducted by a business man of the city who has some knowledge of industry affecting our group, G W. C. Brown of Brown and Brown Realty Company, will conduct the section. The same careful attention will be given to the display of the ads in other sections of the paper, regardless of their size. The letter of the group of business men containing the suggestion of a business section is as follows: Letter "Editor Journal and Guide "Dear Sir: "We would like to call your attention to some observations made during our canvass for 'Norfolk Trade Week.' "We found that the average Negro business concern believed in newspaper advertising, and had a desire to do so; but prevalent complaint was that their financial compulsion permitted them to buy small space, and naturally the larger 'ads' kept their ads from attracting attention. "After giving much thought to this problem, the Committee decided to offer the following suggestions for your consideration— "First: That the Journal and Guide inaugurate a regular business section in its issues—that this section shall have a definite place as far as possible, such as the 'Sports' sheet has now. Second: That the section should be conducted by some business man of this city, who has some knowledge of conditions affecting our group. "Third: That articles on local and national business conditions and phases be published each week; particularly those of interest to our people. Fourth: That at least one article a week appear on this page concerning a worthy Negro business. Fifth: That this page shall carry all the ads of Negro business grouped around these various articles mentioned above. "Sixth: That a special low rate be charged for ads in this section so as to encourage Negro concerns to form the 'advertising habit.' "We believe if these suggestions are faithfully carried out, the Negro business advantage and benefit to the various business concerns, the Norfolk Journal and Guide and the race in general. "Very truly yours, "Committee of Arrangements, Norfolk Branch, N. A. A. C. P. for Norfolk Trade Week. "Davin H. EDWARDS, Chr. Davin H. EDWARDS, Chr.

AGED RECORD OF EMANCIPATION UNCOVERED (Continued from Page One) celebration of their liberation on the first day of January, when their freedom did not actually come until on the very day the event took place. But, students of history will recall, that Lincoln's preliminary proclamation, on September 21, 1862, and was published in the following morning's newspapers, just exactly 11 days before the final proclamation was issued—the immortal one. It was set forth in the preliminary proclamation that the slaves would be declared free on January 1, 1863, provided the rebellious states had not complied with certain conditions. In the intervening 100 days, the slaves were to all intents and purposes, free from slavery. It was this period of fresh preparations were made for the celebration of the issuance of the final decree which was to come on the first of January. In bold face type, the venerable record begins: "The Freed Men's Celebration." In regular type the reading continues: "held in Norfolk, Jan. 1st, 1863. "To the Fellows of our Common Sovereign, Greetings; "In laying this printed notice before you, I seek no other enolument than the favor of God, having, trust heart imbued with a suffering humanity throughout the world. "He that is a Slave must suffer Slavery, disguised as it may be, is still a bitter cup to drink—and though thousands in all ages have been made to drink of it, still it is none the less bitter on that account. But Liberty, gracious Goddess, is the sweet, whom all in public and private worship and whose taste is grateful, and ever will be so, till nature herself shall change. (Note) Minutes of the Last Meeting "At a meeting of the "Fried Men" of the City of Norfolk held on the 21st of December last, 1862, Brother Charles Gatewood, was called to the chair, and John Milton choen secretary. The lawyer was offered the K1111 object of the chair stated the meeting to be, to make suitable arrangements for a Celebration to be held in Norfolk on the first day of January, 1863. "The following Preamble and Resolutions were then adopted unanimously: "Whereas the President of the United States has issued his Proclamation declaring all States, the Union, and States, then united against the Government of the United States to be forever free— "Therefore resolved that in view of this Proclamation the Chair he and is hereby instructed to appoint a Chief Marshal and ten Aides, whose duty it shall be to assemble the 'Freed Men' and make a Memorial for a Grand Celebration, to be held on the first day of Jan'y, 1862—Whereupon the Chair appointed the following per- Visit Mme.

The remainder of the paper tells of the celebration, which indicates that the whole was printed after the event, and evidently no one at program, but evidently a printed record of the celebration of the "Freed Men." The remainder of the paper reads, first in large bold face type." General Celebration of "Freed Men." It continues with the words, "Held at Norfolk, Jan. 1, 1633, and goes on to say: "In accordance with a previous notice, given by the Chief Marshal, the 'Freed Men' assembled on Queen street at nine o'clock a.m. to the number of about five thousand persons, where the procession was formed. "AT 10 o'clock the procession took up its line of march through the principal streets, accompanied by two Bands of Music, one of which was conducted by Raphel Cherry." The Procession marched to the residence of General Vicle, Military Governor, who cordially welcomed the "Fred Blen" in the following language: "My Friends, I am happy to see you all, and wish you a Happy New Year's day. I hope you will live long and see many days like the present." Enthusiastic and almost defiant, cheers were given for General W. Presidio Linares, the Emancipation Proclamation. Genl Viele was responded to on the part of the 'Freed Men,' by George W. Cook in the following brief, but expressive manner: "Genl Viele—in behalf of my suffering brethren, permit me to thank you Sir, and the government you represent, that we the abolitionists, should so sorrow and oppression, stand ready and willing to shed our blood, if necessary, for the flag of the country that gave us birth."

Some interest. ed white friends have signified their intention of hearing this particulay sermon in the present series, they having seen the ad- vertisements in the “Guide” and on the plaentds that are seattered widely ull through the colored see- tion of the city. Last, Sunday night's sermon on The River In Philippi drew quite a crowd, in spite o fthe inclemency of the weather. The male chorus sang very acceptably, “Remember Now Thy Creator.” The speaker said in the course of the sermon: “How frequently we could start earthquakes, stirring cities, shak- inge civilizations, convicting ‘of sin, if our faith did not wilt. ‘The icast little trial, we are ready to ery out in despair. But Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns, in jail. No wonder the prisoneis list- exed, and later when the earth- quake came, the jairlor Was ready to take theit advice, Men who could trust their Godt amidst bitter trials were man who had found the secret of salvation. And that is the only Kind of faith that gets anywhere. Such an example in Christ _ has brought millions’ suppliant to Geth- gemane and the cross. Not his mir- acles, but his ability to stand firm under suffering: and to trust God to the end.” DR, FRANCIS URGES SANE RELIGION Men’s Day Speaker At Grace Church Talks On “Second Emancipation.” | Both services at Grace Church were very well attended last Sun- day. At the morning service Rev. Harris preached from the 2nd chap- ter of Revelations the 4th verse, fon the subject: “Leaving thy first Love.” The burdens of hig mes- sage was that we may have all the other virtues and not having tove we would not be well-pleasing ‘unto God. At the evening services there was a special program by the Men's Club observing Men's Day. In spite of the bad weather there was a very good congregation present. Solos were sung by Mr. E. W. King, Miss Harriett. Brown’ and Mr. Albest Foster. The choir gave a solection and Dr. G. H. Francis made the address of the evening. Dr, Francis spoke on the subject: “The Second Emancipation.” Three things were stressed, Religion, E- veation and Economie Standing. The speaker emphasized the ne- cossity for a sane and reasonable religion as against a purely emo- tional one, the need of a thorough education as against a partial one. He warned against living beyond enes income and urged the car- rying of insurance as a means of support for dependents when the head of the house has passed be- yond. Dr. Francis’ address was very helpful and was very much enjoyed by all present. ee SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH \_pvery momber of se Sunday 'school and chureh ig asked to be on hand this coming Sunday at 10:15 ‘at which time our services will be- ‘gin as on last Sunday.

Mrs. Annie Newsome read the obituary and condolences were read by Mr. Vernal C, Hodges. Taught Musié ~~ ee Oy ret a amie te yeors of age. He was a native of Norfolk. Uneducated, neverthe less, he was a born leader of men and his career was fraught with incidents so unseemly as tc mark it really remarkable, Twen- ty-two years before Lee surren- dered to Grant. at Appomattox he first saw the light of day. For twenty-two years he hore slavery and all that in it was. At free- dom’s dawn, he became a member of the church in which his remains were carried to receive their final rites. He beeame one of the firs leaders of the Sunday school choir; dered to Grant at Appomax he some twenty years later he became director of Second Calvary choir; then director of Queen Street Bap- tist Church choir. But all this was many years ago, and it is said he was about the first Negro in Norfolk to teach music. Just when and where Father Miller learned. music himself has never been told. Like his other natural qualities, it seoms that music just came to him, and love for it never left him until death, Tn 18R0 Father Miller beeame 4 lieutenant in the Virginia National Guards: for 50 years he was om. ployed in the Norfolk Navy Yare and 27 ycars ago he founded the society of the Children of Israel He was then 54 years old, at ar Jage when most men feel Hike shrinking from such arduous du- ties of organizing and leading men He always stated that God spoke to him while at his work and gave him a vision of his society, saying it was to he a society from which the aged, the infirm, the lonely the afficted should not be barred anc they were to fraternize for the good of one another and all, To flay the society has more than 300 members scattered over Virginia North Carolina and New York He stayed off loneliness that might come with age by surrounding him: self with others aging as he him self was doing, and thereby liver to ripe years through the sunshine ‘that comes with doing good. Father Miller's funeral was the largest scen in this city for many years, Probably none here has before witnessed such a throng of people endeavoring to get the ias peep at the remains of a man whe ‘was born a slave and lived unlet- tered until he died. The funeral procession itself was about eight blocks long. Tts whol passage from the church to th Eemetery was clustered with poople ‘on both sides of the streets. Numerous and touching were the eondotences and floral tributos worn beautifnl and costly, DOES GEORGIA TREAT HER RACE CITIZENS FAIRLY Unronna paper was right and vo’ stitution wrong. Under the cap- tion, “Why Not Faco the Facts,’ the Enquirer-Sun declares: “The ‘Greensboro, N. C. News criticises adversely’ the action of Atlanta’s city couneil in passing an ordinance which, under the guise of a gesture to preserve the sanc- tity of the Nordic’ race, was in- tended to destroy the business ind livelihood of Negro barbers whose shops ure open to white customers lonly. The Atlanta Constitution re- plies to the Greenshoro News in an editorial that fails completely to answer the latter newspaper.” * * “What are the facts? Did ‘a few councilmen unwittingly and thoupghtlessly” pass the ordinance? Far from it. The ordinance. Was passed by a majority of the mem- bers of the Atlanta council—a ma- jority which endorsed an ordinance so unjust that it borders on law- lessness. “And. was the passage of this ordinance done unwittingly and thoughtlessly, as the Constituticn ascoris, Far from it. The ordi- nanee was passed deliberately by a majority of the Atlanta council because the majority of the mem- hers of that body were not only trying to sav etheir political hides under pressure of the white Barbers Union, but were voting in harmony with the spirit of bigotry, intoler- ‘neo and backwardness which has infected the political and threatens the educational atmosphere of At- lata? eee ‘Js it, true that there isn’t a thoughtful, honest. Negro leader in Georgia who will not say this state does not treat Negroes fairly in every way? What. these Ne- gro leaders would say, we do not Know. But they will certainly not be stating the facts if they agree with the Constitution. Every rea- sonable, intelligent white man knows ‘that there is nothing for the Negro to say except that, he is treated fairly. With the shadow of the awful Atlanta riots still vis- ible, who can expect the Negroes to do anything except agree with the dominant race, Ask Dr. Ash- hy Jones, of Atlanta, or Bishop Resse, of Savannah about this, and also why there is need of an In- terracial Association which is cer- tainly not organized for the pro- tection of the whites. “The Constitution goes even fur- ther; it makes this statement: “In Georgia the Negro de- fendant gets the came consid- eration as the-white defendant —they both stand equal before the law. Lynchings have been greatly reduced—and we hope will he entirely. eliminated — because the people, though. perhaps outraged by a crime, have found out that, the law is sure, and not so slow as it used to be. “The Negro violator must pay the penalty demanded by the law. And he will. So will the white violator. ‘The Enquirer-Sun asserts that just the contrary is the ease. Let us contrast two instances: Fox, a Klansman, walked into the office’ of Coburn and assassinated him. Aj Negro by the name of Hicks stole, a mule worth about $50.00. Fox, the klansman, was sentenced to ten years in the’ penitentiary. Hicks the Negro was sentenced to twenty years at hard fabor, and had al- ready served twelve—two years more than the total sentence of Fox, the klansman—when he was charged with killing a guard, and is now under death sentence. “So much for the fair treatment of Negrovs! “And also so much for the ordi- nance passed by a few thoughtless ‘Sopitting couneiimen. “The search for the motives un- derlying the anti-Negro barbers must go deeper. The responsibility rests most heavily on the shoutders of Atlania’s timorous, voiceless press; but the ministers and tho Chamber of Commerce havo. a share in AUlanta’s most, humilia- ting exhibition of racial hatred, The Enquirer-Sun repeats what it snid a few days ago: “Had the ministers, tho Chamber of Commerce and the newspapers of Atlanta—the Constitution and the Journal and the Geaorgian— joined in the fight on the Klan five years ago—or four, or even three years ago—tho Klan spirit would not have controlled Atlanta's pol- itics and debauched the offices of the state capitol, The Georgian was beaten to its knees in an abor- tivo effort to check the Klan, and only because the two other Atlanta newspapers were watching to see which could obtain the most_po- Titical power through the masked gang. ‘The Constitution lost when Clarke und Simmons wore ousted, and the Evans wing awarded the office of Democratic National Com- ‘cnitkaacaom ta tha @ditue of” tha Atlanta Independent's “Editorial __ “Now, let us'see what the record is,” Ot neighbor says that we aro SERMON THIS SUNDAY 7:30 P.

Stop a Cold In a Day We paid $1,000,000 for this Method You now end a cold in 24 hours. But you must use the right way, the complete way. It does more than end a cold. It checks the fever, stops the headache, opens the bowels, tomes the entire system. It leaves one in better condition than when the cold began. That way is HILLS' toothy, a super-help for $0,000,000 so well-prepared that millions have come to employ it. Start HILLS' toothy, and relief comes tomorrow. Use it promptly, and the cold does not get started. Use it a few days, and the damage is included. One usually feels better than when the cold began. It colds a serious matter.

C., Feb. 17—It was a thrilling announcement that President Peacock, of Shaw University, made at the chapel assembly on the morning of Tuesday, February 9. The college was in the midst of the celebration of Negro History Week, with a appropriate addresses by the different professors, and the president had just returned from Texas, where he had attended the meeting of the Association of Colleges for Negro Youth, of which for the last three years he has been presiding officer. To the faculty and students, he nounced that a school year, by vote of the Board of Trustees, Shaw University will conduct no classes at all in the academy, so that, beginning with next fall, the freshman college class will be the lowest in the institution. This forward step is but in line with the development that has taken place at Shaw within the last few years. Under the administration of President Peacock, the institution has steadily ad vanced from one in which the majority of the students were of high school grade to one limiting itself strictly to college work. In the meantime a new Science Hall has been erected, being used this year for the first time; the members of the faculty are required to measure up to the highest academic standards; the college for the last three years has been recognized as of "A" grade by the state of North Carolina; and the student life and activities have taken on more and more of college tone. Shaw University is thus the first Negro college south of Washington to take the advanced position of withdrawing altogether from high school or preparatory work. RALEIGH Raleigh, N.

Trying to keep the races separate by law refuses to function even after it has got on the statute books.

Let us all hope that the Congress will so amend the act incorporating Howard University, as recommended by the House Committee on Education, as to legalize the annual appropriations for the university "to aid in its construction, development, improvement and maintenance," and thus avoid the annual scandal of challenging the legality of the appropriations, which the Congress has been making since March 3, 1879. We are all more or less surprised that Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, should be called to the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church, in Brooklyn, of which the only Henry Ward Beecher, the brother of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was the first and greatest pastor. It is a very great distinction. He should be glad to get away in such great shape from Howard University where he has had more troubles than usually fall to the lot of the president of a university. And the enemies he has made, whose name is legion, will rejoice a heap at his going.

The objection to City Manager Truxun's mandate limiting colored bus patrons to the use of routes six and ten is not based upon any desire to ride in "busses reserved for white people." Let that be understood to begin with. There is something far more fundamental in the objections to this order, which is not supported by any law nor any sound and just public opinion, but is sponsored solely by a diseased public sentiment, a progressive malady, the sort that gave birth to the Atlanta barber shop law and some of the absurd and ridiculous legislation submitted to the present Virginia General Assembly. It is only a step from depriving one group of citizens from using common carriers on certain thoroughfares, to depriving them from using the same thoroughfares for any purpose whatsoever. It is as easy to designate certain street cars for white people and certain other street cars for colored people as it is to designate separate carriers of another type for whites and blacks. I likewise it is just as easy, under the system of yielding to a whimsical public sentiment, to designate certain streets for the use of one race and certain other streets for the use of another, and proceeding with this practice no one can foretell the extremes to which such a course will lend. Increase of Negro Population Imminent If the racial integrity bill now before General Assembly had passed in its or form the Negro race in Virginia would been increased in numbers by the accr of some twenty odd thousand of the white families in the state," according Richmond genealogist. Moreover, we black and colored p If the racial integrity bill now before the General Assembly had passed in its original form the Negro race in Virginia would have been increased in numbers by the accretion of some twenty odd thousand of the "best white families in the state," according to a Richmond genealogist. Moreover, we black and colored people would have a member on the state supreme court bench, twelve members of the present General Assembly, numerous other state and county officials, an ex-bishop, two or three ex-governors and countless others of less distinction. All of that increase would be due to the astonishing fact that Mr. John Powell, pianist; Major Ernest Sevier Cox (more recently designated as "Dr. Cox") who essays to be an anthropologist and ethnologist, and Dr. William A. Plecker, registrar of vital statistics, knew more about the rise and fall of ancient civilization than they did about the history of Virginia. If Doctor Cox will spend some of his time during the next two years traveling around in Virginia studying the genealogy of his own race he may learn something that may interest the next General Assem- If Mr. Powell will stick to his music he will enhance his standing in Virginia. If Dr. Plecker does not stick to the business of reducing infant mortality and improving the health of grown-ups and stop trying to legislate many of the best white families of the state out of their race he is going to be an ex-registrar of vital statistics. No matter which way the mess turns out the black and colored/people of Virginia are due to have more company if the bill becomes law. Slavery As A School For Us There are a great many Jews who have shamed of the fact that they were ordered to be slaves in Egypt and captives in Babylon; but the greater part of them and these and other hardships as a part of the education that the people needed was an atonement for the sins of their fathers who, according to the biblical record, were as prone to go wrong as sparks are second upward. As a matter of fact, there are few people in history who have served as slaves or captives, in whole or part. A large part of the people of Europe served as dependents of their lords, as many do it even now. We can't go into the mystery of it here, but true it is that service has been exacted of most people, ancient or modern, and that in many ways now more of us are doomed to service even when we think that we are our own masters. Dr. Walter Russell Bowie, in his Fourth Day address at Hampton Institute, reported in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of February 6, gave us much food for thought, the statement: "Out of limitation brave men could may come enlargement. To our shamed of slavery would be to lose out of our spiritual history something infinite painful." The slave service was a part of our education to become Christians, with in the "new and better covenant," master the common English language inaccessibly the common thought of the nation, and to become "citizens of the United States and of the states in which we reside a heritage among the greatest any people modern times can enjoy. We can deplore the fact that we were constrained to serve period as slaves without ignoring for minute the benefits which we got out of experience and which are now serving a great advantage in all of the walks of American life. In our homes and schools and churches and business life we are best helped by the experience of service we love slavery. Where did you come from, is great importance. Where are you now, is greater importance.

To be ashamed of slavery would be to lose out of your spiritual history something infinitely fruitful." The slave service was a part of our education to become Christians, with a share in the "new and better covenant," to master the common English language and necessarily the common thought of the nation, and to become "citizens of the United States and of the states in which we reside." —a heritage among the greatest any people of modern times can enjoy. We can deploy the fact that we were constrained to serve a period as slaves without ignoring for a minute the benefits which we got out of the experience and which are now serving us to great advantage in all of the walks of American life.

A collection of wits with much of the mag in them, upon occasion, connected with the Nation, one of the best weekly maguses of light and leading in the nation recently were entertained at dinner asked. Among the topics discussed was of "Wages for Wives." The subject was but another ninja is discussed. A collection of wits with much of the wag in them, upon occasion, connected with the Nation, one of the best weekly magazines of light and leading in the nation, recently were entertained at dinner and talked. Among the topics discussed was that of "Wages for Wives." The subject is not new but whenever it is discussed it provokes much thought even when treated in a light and floppy way. That is largely because the man and the woman are considered to be one, with a well defined understanding that the woman shall order the affairs of the home and that the husband shall go out and hustle for the necessary things to enable her to do so. The average wage earner finds it all he can do, and often more, to hold up his end as the provider, and he can only do it safely with the most capable cooperation of his wife, who must know how to practice the most rigid economies, and practice them, or the wage-earner will fail, however much wages he may receive and devote to the home living. In this way the woman gets her wages as a part of those her husband receives, and any surplus they may have should and usually is divided between them for clothing and little luxuries they desire. After all, the wage-earner has little surplus to put in the bank for the rainy day and the lean year. Those who earn salaries, which are supposed to be higher than wages, and those who have incomes, find themselves much in the same position as the wage-earner, with the exception that the wives often develop an extravagance which cripples the salary possibilities and destroys the income value of the husband. Extravagant sons and daughters often help the mothers do this, and in the end they all have to pay for the thoughtless prodigality. It was a distinguished gathering of wits the Nation got around the dinner table, and they discussed a very timely and interesting question, but no conclusion was reached as to which side won, because it is a many sided question and depends almost entirely upon the husband and wife and the degree of helpfulness they render each other in keeping the pot boiling and in saving something against the time of need. To admit that the man and the woman have a career in which the home has no part is to admit any two such persons do not need the help the one the other can give and that the Christian home, as far as they are concerned breaks down entirely. If the thing could be made general, as it has been in Russia, confusion would reign for portion, where swarms of savage children without parental control run wild and create a condition of terror for their elders. The Christian home is the surest safeguard of Christian civilization. When it breaks down Christian civilization will break down. The man and the woman were made the one for the other and they are very lonesome when separate and cannot fulfil to the full the primary object of their creation. What they have, what they earn, is common to them, and when it is not they are not one but two people and are better separate and apart than in union together. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Entering Wedges of Caste If anyone doubts that there is a determined effort to foist upon America a rigid caste system, let him but note a few of the signs. Impelled by the same fundamental idea, viz., that groups differing in color, religion or birthland cannot live side by side in peacify even though they serve the same God, honor or the same flag and cherish the same cultural ideals, certain powerful elements in America are attempting to keep such groups permanently apart in every conceivable way. A. B. C. In certain sections of Georgia, Negro tourists can get no service at filling stations, but must serve themselves under the direction of the white proprietors. Atlanta has just passed an ordinance restraining colored barbers from shaving white patrons. New Orleans provides by law for residential segregation along racial lines. Norfolk issues a flat that no Negro must ride in public carrier buses on routes where white patronage is large. The Virginian Legislature is being urged by a clamorous crowd to forbid even voluntary association of Negroes and whites in public halls. That sama legislature is proposing to read out of the Indian race every Indian save those of Oklahoma and Texas, in order to read out of the white race the admixture which has resulted in the absorption of all but eighty of Virginia's original Indians and to prevent the possible absorption of that remaining little eighty. This same august body some few years since discouraged Indian education at Hampton Institute, in order to keep Indians and Negroes apart. Washington, D. C., courts are even now being asked to declare certain restrictive property covenants which, if once allowed, would be turned with telling effect against Negroes all over America. However, these are but entering wedges. If these radical class measures can be given sanction and made precedentary, the same spirit that gave these birth will formulate still other and more drastic expedients. The public health officer, for example, who today instigates such radical legislation for guaranteeing no further admixture of whites and Indians in Virginia has already declared against the policy of conserving the health of undesirable racial groups. In other words, he would let all consumptives, syphilis, epileptics and insane who happened to be Negroes, go without official medical care and so either die out themselves unnecessarily or pass on these diseases to their posterity. Thus would the whole undesirable Negro group be allowed to deteriorate and die. Pontiac, Michigan, has already passed a residential segregation law against Jews. So soon no group in America will be safe from damnation to that municipal hell, the ghetto. Not only Negroes and Jaws, but Catholics, Indians, Japanese, foreign-born whites, wherever any one of these groups happens to find itself in the minority it will find itself in peculiar danger. The same hyper-precision that guards against race friction before ever it is born and even in cases where after much deliberate effort it cannot be fomented, by denying the use of public carriers to Negroes or the visitation, without legal embarrassment, of colored gatherings by friendly whites, would go on to provide separate elevators, separate stores, separate banks, separate streets and separate county roads. That same spirit is capable of demanding that certain hated minority groups be denied not only the right to vote and hold office but even the American common man's right to compete for a decent living and to enjoy without embarrassment the fruits of his labor. The unhindered and unopposed progress of such clamishness would be to any and every minority group in America the death-kill of hope for the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Spirit of The Press A Japanese on America From the Petersburg Progress Index. A Japanese educator who has spent some years in this country, has published in a Tolio magazine an article in which he frankly says he does not like Americans. He admits they possess many good qualities, but he thinks the nation as a whole is hypocritical. He does not like our asserting that we form a Christian nation, yet in practice exemplify so few Christian principles. He thinks national prohibition is evidence of our hypocrisy, observing that we pretend to be the great temperance nation of the world, yet in practice millions of Americans purchase and consume intoxicating liquors. The Japanese writer also has some hard things to say about us because of the universal disposition in the country to look down upon colored races.

Kentucky's Attitude on Lynching From the Columbus Dispatch. Too often in the past, the appearance of the lynching spirit has coincided with an official attitude so spineless, if not actually favorable, as to amount to little less than a positive invitation to the mob to do its worst. Such was the case when an Ohio county allowed itself to be disgraced by a peculiarly flagrant case of lynching, about Too often in the past, the appearance of the lynching spirit has coincided with an official attitude so spineless, if not actually favorable, as to amount to little less than a positive invitation to the mob to do its worst. Such was the case when an Ohio county allowed itself to be disgraced by a peculiarly flagrant case of lynching, about 15 years ago. The mob found out, as soon as it began to assemble, that neither sheriff nor city police would offer any determined resistance; and so it was never forced to stop and do any serious thinking until after its criminal intent had been carried out. Just such a crime would have been committed at Lexington, Kentucky, last week, had not the authorities determined, from the outset, that the regular processes of the law should be vindicated. A thousand state troopers were thoroughly aware that they would be used to any extent necessary in order to protect the prisoner in his right to a fair trial, and to preserve his life from being taken in any other way than through legal conviction and execution. We are told that $20,000 was expended in order to make this protection effective. Kentucky has written a very creditable chapter into her history. BookChat "THE WEARY BLUES." By Langston Hughes with an introduction by Carl Van Weehten. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price, $2.09. By mail, $2.19. Langston Hughes, city bred, told a group of us the other evening that he had never cared for the poetry that as a child he read in his school books. It dealt with things of which he had no understanding. Why should he for instance, be interested in Tommyson's "I come from haunts of coot and horn and nern And make a sudden sally—" when he had never seen a coot or heen. But one day he read a poem in a Kansas newspaper that the editor was holding up to ridicule. It described the city's narrow street, the shabby house, even the garbage can. Here he found was poetry that appealed to him, and he began to try to write in such a vein. This I think, is typical of Mr. Hughes' method. Thousands and thousands of children read Tennyson's brook— "I chatter, chatter as I flow"—and enjoy the sound of the words without ever thinking whether they have seen a brook or not. But Langston Hughes never was intrigued merely by the melody of tipping syllables. Even as a little boy he must draw as clearly as he could, the picture of what he really saw. "The Weary Blues" is a book full of pictures, word pictures of some of the multitude of things that have swept across a young man's vision. But always they are pictures, not reflections upon life, but vivid bits of life itself. All of which tells us that Langston Hughes is very much a modern. "The Weary Blues," the poem from which the book takes its name, won the first prize at the Opportunity contest in 1925. There are other "Blues" verses in which one sees an effort to strike the rhythm of these folk songs. There are cabaret songs and Harlem stands out among them with her comedy and her tragedy somberly stalking thru her mirth. In the introduction, Carl Van Vechten, tells us of the interesting life this vagabond poet has led, a true poet who preferred to knock about on ship and in strange ports rather than stay in college. I for one, feel a little piqued at this volume. It says so little out of all it might say. Such wonderful lands as Langton Hughes has seen and such picturesque people as he has rubbed elbows with. He only gives us tidbits of all that must be bushing through his mind. We have sat down to the hors d'oeuvre and they have whetted our appetites for more. May the next course come soon. —MARY WHITE OVINGTON Alive On All Issues Editor Journal and Guide, Dear Sir: First I wish to congratulate the management and editor of your valuable paper for its most progressive position on all public questions. I read the Journal AND Guide every week and have been doing so for the past twenty years and I must say in fairness to your paper that you are fully alive on all issues that affect the Negro race and that your position has always been candid, fearless and cane. Your conservative manner in dealing with all race and other matters can but do good for the causes you espouse. Very respectfully yours, W. A. DRAKE, M. D. Norfolk, Va. STOP STAR AIR CONCERT Croydon, Eng.—A radio concert broadcast from an aeroplane here stopped when the machine hurriedly descended to escape the heavy, fog. Saturday, February 20, 1926 The Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment By KELLY MILLER The completion of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund on a college marks a new era in the history of Negro education. The drive will not to each of these two institutions an endowment of some thing like four millions of dollars, which together with the basis already secured will enable them to carry A. B. them to carry Dr. Miller on the work already planned with steadiness and stability. An institution which has to live by the hand to mouth method can never be sure of the permanence of its plans or the security of the work. The incessant strain of raising money by process of hand to carry on a large institution means almost certain death to those who undertake it. Armstrong, Booker Washington and Frissell all died young. The colored contingent contributed three hundred thousand dollars towards this endowment. This amount is comparatively negligible in relation to the total sum. But in its meaning and significance it bulks big with hope and promise. It shows a disposition of the benefitted race to help itself to the extent of its ability. The greatest bulk of the endowment was subscribed by wealthy people, whose subscription is as good as cash. With poor people who can subscribe only in small amounts scattered over a long period of time the case is different. All such subscriptions should be deeply discounted in the very nature of the circumstances. This is entirely independent of the race or color of the subscribers. Abundant experience shows that subscriptions from Negroes do not bear a very high percentage of collections. Unfortunately the race is not used to doing business is easy; payments are difficult. Circumstances change. Loss of position or enlargement of obligation often wipe out the small margin between income and expenses. It is hard to impress upon the mind of the ordinary Negro subscriber that his pledge is an even more binding obligation that a legal document. The one is based upon compulsion; the other upon honor. It is said that George Fox was famous for neglect of his financial obligations. On being presented with one of his promissory notes for payment, he sought to side track or ignore the obligation. Thereupon the creditor tore up the note in disgust. Mr. Fox, it is said, produced the payment at once, with the remark that since it had become a matter of honor rather than legal compulsion, he was left no choice but to preserve his honor. Exprience shows in numerous campaigns of the Young Men's Christian Association that colored subscription might as well be discounted by a high per cent in advance. It is not always the ignorant and the humble who ignore or neglect their pledges, but men of high reputation and standing have been known to regard their pledges as a scrap of paper. Let us hope that the pledges to the Hampton-Tuskegee Fund by the colored contingent will be paid in full. This would go a long ways towards redeeming the reputation of the race from the reproach of being debtors. Upon hearing of the completion of this fund, I wrote Dr. Moton a note of congratulation in which I also expressed the wish and hope that the colored subscribers would be especially urged to a scrupulous observance of their obligation. This final triumph of the Hampton-Tuskegee drive gerves to bring to our attention the tendency of Negro education in its several forms and places. There is no longer any controversy as to contrasted form of training, or the setting of one over against the other in bitter controversy. The higher education and the industrial advocates have come to a common understanding. The fact is we no longer talk in terms of higher and industrial education. We are now mainly concerned with effective education. Hampton on and Tuskegee are now putting on college courses leading to degrees in such practical fields as pedagogy, agriculture, domestic science and other useful arts. On the other hand Howard and Fisk are practicalizing their courses so as to cover much of the same range of the practical arts. When these institutions secure their endowments and fully inaugurate the new type of work, there will be no room left for the controversialists to wrangle over the difference. The fact is the entire educational world is gravitating towards vocation- "The cultural life of the race is not now focusing at Fisk or Atlanta, or Howard or Wilberforce, but in New York," declares Dr. Kelly Miller, who adds, "The art, the poetry, the music, the literature, which typify this new Negro culture is for enough removed from the centers of our college and university life." Dr. Miller finds that in purely creative contributions, the college breed now and woman do not figure so prominently, as in the undoubted and descriptive portion. Complimenting the race upon it: pledged contribution to the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund, he warms that Nego pledges of necessity should be heavily discounted. They are exceedingly difficult, to collect, Dr. Miller, declares experience has proved, and he argues the race to make an exception in this case and back: up its word with its cash. al rather than the purely cultural motive. That aspect of culture that does not wed itself with some practical vocation is now looked upon with scant favor. The rise of the public high school with courses in the practical arts, articulating with like courses of higher range in the state university has determined the drift in the practical direction. The privately endowed college like Amherst college for example, can afford to adhere to the old foundations of cultural curriculum. But no institution that depends upon appropriations by state legislatures or upon miscellaneous public contributions can expect their patrons to support educational aims and ideals in which they do not believe. When it comes to the Negro the difficulty is doubled. The supporters of our private institutions are mainly white who have their own notions as to what the education of the Negro should be. This notion we are forced to say is growing less and less flattering to our pride and conceit. But all hope is not lost. The cultural aspect of Negro educa- The Art To Stick You can't reach your goal if you sit around and whine. You've got to keep a 'pushing all the time'; You can't advance by just awaiting and a wishing. You've got to put your shoulder to the wheel and keep on pushing— You'll never be able to turn the trick, Unless like hold-tight glue, you learn to stick. Whatever task in life begun, Cling to it until it is won. Place your goal, in the realms of the sky, Then, reach it, or in the effort die; Attainment is not the result of a flick— You's got to keep a trying—you've got to stick. Always keep this thought in mind:— There never was a hill that you can't climb, Nor a chasen so wide that you can't span, So, put your faith in God, and get this lesson quick: You've got to do, like hold-tight glue, and learn the art to stick. J. E. "JOCK" WATKINS Norfolk, Va. To Countee P. Cullen Ah poet, how I love thy strains, To me they are inspiringly sweet, They tell of all our happiness and pains That we have had or consequently meet. Though young, thy thoughts are quite mature, Bespeaking the great genius that you are; Thy works shall live, and may you too endure And be an undisputed shining star. In competition thou hast shown thy worth, For many are the prizes that you've won; Proud is the race that you are of its birth. And yet your bid for fame has just begun. Ah poet! how I love thy song. You stand alone among the lyric host: Waterbury, Conn. J. C. HAZEL tion is taking a new turn. Unfortunately the seat is not located in our schools and colleges, which are becoming more like factors to grind out standardized workplaces in the professions and in the vocational pursuits. The cultural life of the race is not new focusing at Florida or Atlanta, or Howard or Wilberforce, but in New York. Dr. Locke's new book, entitled the "New Negro" outline the race issuance of Negro culture. The art, the poetry, the music, the literature, which typify this new Negro culture is far enough removed from the context of our college and university life. The Crisis, Opportunity, and the Messenger, are all edited by college men, but their spirit and tone are not in harmony with our standardized college world. The Negro has created a new world of music. Jahibie, jazz and the blues are conceded to be the forms of culture and taste in which the race is destined to excel. Poetry, the drama and the short story, depicting Negro life indicate the easiest outlet for our talented college. If we analyze Dr. Locke: "New Negro," we shall find that in the purely creative contributions, the college bred man and woman do not figure so prominently, as in the analytic and descriptive portion. The Negro college has been for so long under the domination of the older forms of art and taste that it is not easily disposed to adjust itself to the new which it affects to look down upon with disdain. We are hide bound by the classic canons which so far have made the Negro college all but haren in the field of creative art. Our colleges and universities must find some way to relate their motive to the awakening in the Negro his dormant artistic powers. Fisk gave a splendid start in music, but does not seem to keep its own early power. Howard started the little theatrical project under Professor Gregory and Locke, but for some reason or other the project was frustrated. Hampton has Dr. Detr as director of music. The Negro college in the immediate future will not so much concern itself an the cultural side with the Greek and Latin classics as they did in the former day. Nor will they be satisfied to enable the Negro merely to appreciate great pieces of poetry, music and art of the great masters. This will do, but only as a basis of awakening in the Negro the desire for self-expression in cultural form. The new Negro college will be largely vocational as all colleges are likely to be. But there will be injected a new cultural motive in the direction of the Negra renaissance. Hoodwink Removed From Virginia Goddess of Justice From the St. Lake Herald. Two criminals, one white and the other black, have been sentenced to death in the electric chair in Richmond. Diso, the white murderer who in a jealous frenzy, on the same day, within an hour's time, shot to death three citizens and wounded a fourth, has a stay of execution for several months. The black murderer killed one policeman who rushed him and shot him. This deed was committed by the black criminal several weeks after the white criminal had committed his series of blood-crime crimes. On the 12th day of February poor Polly France, the Negro murderer, must die in the electric chair. The old Anglo-Saxon idea of the Goddess of Justice was that the Lady sat with a pair of halbances in her hand, and blindfolded with a hoodwink so she could not know who the prisoners was that came before her for an impartial and fair judgment. If he were rich or poor it mattered not with her since she could not see who the party was before her. But in Richmond the erstwhile blind goddess has all the blindfolding hoodwink torn from her eyes so that she may know whether the criminal is black or white. If he is a white criminal with blood of four victims on his hands and clothing, he gets a stay of execution with a hope of commutation of death sentence to life imprisonment, and finally, a pardon and liberation. The hypocracy of such jack-legged justice is all too evident to mention. The white people of Richmond should be ashamed of themselves. What do their laws stand for and mean so themselves and to us except shams and to lies? A black man killed his one victim after the white man had killed his thief and wounded one, and yet the black man must be tried, convicted and sentenced to die first. Where is the fairness of example and justice in such conduct?
