(By the Associated Negro Press)
Paris, France, Aug. 18—The Galerie Mantelet, Paris, has organized a "Negroes in Paris" exposition which seems likely to become an annual affair.

FIRST TEST CASE UNDER NEW RACE INTEGRITY LAW
FIRST TEST CASE UNDER NEW RACE INTEGRITY LAW
Rockingham County Couple Held For The Grand Jury Charged With Violation Of Mixed Marriage Law.
if the Rockingham County grand jury returns a true bill against William Dove and his wife, Mrs. Mary Grove Dove, Virginia's new racial integrity act will get its first test when they are brought to trial in the county court some time next month. Mr. and Mrs. Dove are charged with violation of the recently enacted law, prohibiting white persons from marrying one "who has a trace" of Negro blood in his veins, and prohibits such persons from living together in this State even if married in another State.
Held For Grand Jury
The couple, who resides in the Bergenton section, was held for the action of the grunt jury Wednesday of last week by a full magistrate's court with one dissenting opinion. Dove was lodged in jail while Mrs. Dove was released on $500 bail. According to the evidence introduced at the hearing the couple was married at Cumberland, Md., after first efforts to have the ceremony performed at Hagenstown had failed. The complaint against the couple was made by Charles Dove, brother of the groom who has just returned from the West. It is claimed that Charles Dove, the complaining brother, and the groom had trouble over the disposition of the settlement of the estate on which William Dove lived with his alleged colored wife. The homestead is located at Brock Gap, in the western section of Rockingham county. Conviction on the charge may carry a penalty of from two to five years' imprisonment in the State penitentiary for both parties. Opinion in this section is very much divided, and some think that the commonwealth will have the time of its life proving the girl n Negro.

He gave at this time a wholesome message for his faithful followers.
Twenty-nine years ago there was dug out of a mine a piece of clay and this piece of clay was shaped and formed into the Order of the Knights of Gideon through the wisdom and untiring efforts of the venerable Dr. Mainor and his most accomplished staff. It has been consigned to the kilt year after year and was perfected.

Virginia Press Flays Bird Lynchers; Wants Members Punished
July Labor Reports Show Negroes Gain Employment In Municipal Governments
---
The lynching of Raymond Bird in Wythe county jail at Wytheville Sunday morning, August 15, by a mob of 50 masked men has drawn a vigorous and practically unanimous denunciation from the State press. From one end of the State to the other the dailies have in unison rage against the law and have resolutely demanded that the authorities of the city and county bring those responsible for this disgrace upon the Commonwealth to justice.
Virginian-Pilot
For instance, the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot declares: "Virginia gets another black mark in the lynching record as a result of the gruesome exploit of a mob of masked men at Wytheville early Sunday morning," and continues, "No more barbarous exhibition of the mob spirit has been reported from any State in many a month." The Virginian-Pilot believes that with proper police diligence the members of the mob can be brought to boot and in that connection says:
"The gang that disgraced Virginia with one of the blackest mob crimes in its history has its habitat in a relatively restricted area in Wythe County. The apprehension of many of its members is merely a question of police diligence. In more difficult circumstances and for a lesser crime, the North Carolina authorities, pressed by the Governor, apprehended members of an Asheville mob and sent them to the penitentiary. Governor Byrd can see to it that in the Wytheville case his State will do no less. Nothing will so add to his stature as Governor as an insistence that Sunday's act of barbarianism shall not be permitted to go unpunished.
Ledger-Dispatch
The Blot at Wytheville" is the
Bulletin No. 5 of the Industrial Relations Department of the Nations Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows:
Reports covering a wide area tell of two outstanding developments among Negroes during July. One is the unusual demand for workers in the building trades; and the other the large number of laborers added to municipal payrolls. Chicago reported a shortage of plasterers and brickmasons and in several North Carolina cities the workers so apportant that Negro artisans found employment where they had been denied it regularly. In Baltimore and Lexington, Kentucky, colored contractors used more than the customary number of men and in Albany, Georgia whose building program is the largest in the state, save Atlanta's and Savannah's, it is estimated that more than half of the skilled and unskilled tasks were performed by Negroes.
Prominent among the cities which showed gains in municipal employment is Detroit, where, because of additions during July, there are upwards of 2,000 Negroes paving and improving streets and collecting garbage. Tulsa added to its Negro employees in the water and street departments and Jersey City added to Negroes in street cleaning. San Antonio, colorated jacintos and marts went to work in the new million dollar city auditorium.
Other noteworthy instances were reported from the following cities: LANSING—The new Olds Hotel, finding its white waiters unsatisfactory, employed colored waiters. To supply the required number a force was brought in from neighboring cities. KANSAS CITY, MO.—Hod carriers and building laborers, of whom ninety per cent are colored, have been idle during the carpenters strike. The local union to which these men belong has one of the largest colored memberships in the country.
caption of an editorial in the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch which declares, "It is a crying shame and a humiliation that Virginia which for many years maintained the clearest record in respect to lynchings in the South, should now have scrawled and seared across her name another instance of this indefensible practice," and utters this loathsome arrangement of the perpetrators, "Anyone who is known to have taken part in issuing the death sentence hitter evil to the State that is his home, should be shunned as a leper by all good people, for a moral leper he is, and it would take a world of expiation to wash his spirit clean." Demanding that the lynchers be caught and punished, the Ledger-Dispatch concludes:
"In justice to the state and all its citizens, no stone should be left unturned to learn the identity of those cowardly masked culprits, as far as it may be possible to learn it, and bring them to stern justice. Whether or not success attends this effort, a thorough and complete investigation can at once be made into the conduct of the jailer and all other officials concerned with the safeguarding and integrity of the violated jail. If any of them are found to have been in the least degree negligent or derelict in their duty of doing all that men could do to repel the onslaught of the mob, they should be instantly dismissed. That is the very least that can be done, but the sting and the disgrace remain."
News Leader
The Richmond News Leader sees the lynching as "A Dark Disgrace to Virginia," and, assailing it under the caption, that paper strikes this regretful note: "Has Virginia known in forty years a more humiliating story than that set forth in the book." (Continued, on Page Seven).
PINE BLUFF, ARK—In the new Nash automobile body plant 49 Negroes went to work at unskilled operations.
LOS ANGELES—The industrial problems of the city's large Negro population attracted much attention during July. The Council of Social Agencies ordered a city-wide survey of industry among Negroes.
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH—Here, too, the rapidly increasing Negro population was discussed and a survey of the working and living conditions was considered.
MILWAUKEE—There was a decided movement into this city from Chicago and other points in the middle west. Twenty-five families are known to have entered the city in two weeks from the state of Iowa. During the month three foundries, employing 325 Negroes, shut down temporarily and the packing industry cut down to an average of three and a half days a week.
CLEVELAND—For the first time a rapid transit company gave employment to colored men as track workers.
BROOKLYN—Two companies reported dissatisfaction with its colored help because of irregularity in attendance and threatened to change to white workers. A group of dependable colored workers replaced the inefficient ones in one of the factories, and for the time being the threatened change has been averted.
CHICAGO—A silk hosiery company offered positions to ten Negroes and to train them in salesmanship in the company's school.

OTHER VICTIMS SUFFER
NUMEROUS INJURIES
The Portsmouth-Suffolk highway claimed another victim when Roy Gardner, 21, of High street, Portsmouth, was killed when the machine in which he was riding with a party of seven others struck a telephone pole a short distance west of the Portsmouth city limits at 1:30 Tuesday morning. Other occupants of the car who were taken to King's Daughters hospital suffering injuries, some serious, were Thomas.Brown, Augustine Overton, William Miller and Naomi Foulon. James Stanley is reported to have been the driver of the car. According to the story obtained by police police, the driver of the car sought to pass another car going in the same direction as his own, when he lost control and collided with the pole. The party was said to have been returning from a dance in Suffolk.
CONFESSES THAT HE ATTACKED 7 YOUNG WOMEN
CONFESSES THAT HE ATTACKED 7 YOUNG WOMEN
White Man Says He Had Six Colored And One White Victim, Police Allege; Mob Violence Is Feared.
(Special to the Journal and Guide)
Jacksonville, Fl., Aug. 25.—Confessing to criminally attacking six young colored girls and one white, Daniel T. Lowe, white, a boss stevedore, sat on a cot in his cell in Dauval county jail smoking a cigarette and calmly, told the police a vivid story of his benign crimes, according to the authorities. Deputy sheriffs stood guard over his cell to await possible mob violence while he told his story and signed a confession of his guilt.
The Associated Press report of the incident does not tell whether the feared mob would be likely to coexist of Negroes or whites, but it is the general belief that it is the latter doing the alleged threatening in this case, which the colored people feel certain would positively go beyond that if the prisoner were Negro and six of his alleged victims white.
Lowe, following his arrest Tuesday, when confronted with the charges is said to have confessed, later signing a typewritten confession prepared by the State's attorney. It seems, however, that Lowe's arrest did not follow until he attacked a 24 year old white woman, daughter of a prominent family, in spite of the fact he admitted to having pornography attacked six young colored girls. This young woman, cringing from fear, identified Lowe in the county jail. He was also identified by the colored girls, police say.
Lowe will probably be spared from paying the extreme penalty for his alleged crimes, however, as the police have already expressed the opinion that he is defended. It is told the officers he was urged to do it by "something in me that told me to do it." He is not married. He will be examined by a sanity commission.

Delegates Returning Home Bring. Enthusiastic Reports Of Reception Accorded Parent Body.
The local delegation of the Sons of Norfolk and Phyllis Wheatley Circle has returned to the city from their third annual reunion in Phailedelphia held from August 15 to 21.
According to the enthusiastic reports brought back by the delegates and the more than 300 members of the Association who journeyed to the City of Brotherly Love and participated in the reunion, the occasion proved one of the best in the history of the fraternity. From the moment the representatives of the parent body arrived in Philadelphia until they entrained for home, it seems that the whole populace tried its utmost to do them honor.
Numbers Swelled
Sons of Norfolk from other northern points swelled the delegation of visitors to creditable proportions. The welcome address on behalf of the city was delivered by Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick in the Union Baptist Church onitten street above 18th where the sessions were held. Mr. B. A. Beryl made the welcome on behalf of the church and Mrs. Olivia Cody on behalf of the Sons and Daughters of Norfolk of Philadelphia.
David H. Edwards, of Norfolk, responded to these welcomes. The annual sermon was prescheduled by Rev. J. B. Boddie, of New Rochelle, N. Y., who is quite well-known in Norfolk, having served in the local pulpits on various occasions. This part of the program was carried out Sunday night.
Routine Business
Routine business coming before the organization consumed the activities of the remainder of the session. On Thursday there was a public reception held in honor of the visitors at the K. of P. Hall from 8:30 to 1 p. m., and Friday was sight-seeing day, when the visitors were special guests of the Sesqui-Centennial.
Local arrangements were in the hands of the following committees: Program, A. R. Jackson, Alexander Spady, Bertha Bowe, Luce Butts and Tony Robinson; entertainment, Alexander Spady, Charles Davis, Daniel King, Blanche Rodgers, Mattie Weaver, Emmett Clark, Charles H. Palmer and Margaret Harris; housing, Mrs. Suda Wright, Mrs. Beesie Rogers, Mrs. Lorenze Jordan, A. R. Jackson, Mrs. C. B. Lilbert, Charles Davis and Alexander Spady; reception, Emmett Clark, White White, William Pago, Arthur Hipurs, Haywood Austin Olivy Cody, William F. F. Diner and Harry Taylor.

DEATH BRINGS PAUSE IN ELK CONVENTION
Gilchrist Stewart Of Monarch Lodge And Mrs. Sara Harrell, Of Norfolk, Stricken Ill And Die Suddenly.
CITY SWAMPED BY
THE ANTLERD HERD
By Special Wire to J. & G.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 25.—Gilchrist Stewart, prominent New York lawyer, and delegate from Monarch Lodge of Elks, New York City, died suddenly Wednesday morning from acute indigestion while attending the Grand Lodge convention here.
Mr. Stewart arrived in the city apparently in good health and fine spirits. He had only shortly left his state headquarters and gone to his stopping place when death overtook him.
Gilchrist Stewart was a nationally known lawyer, gaining wide fame some years ago in connection with Standard Oil litigation with the Government. He was then on the staff of the Oil Company's lawyers.
Death cast a shadow of gloom over the Norfolk delegation of Elks attending the annual Grand Lodge convention in Cleveland this week when Mrs. Sarah Robinson Harrell, Past Daughter Ruler and treasurer of Norfolk Temple No. 1, and State President of Daughter Elks, a delegate, to the convention, died in the midwestern city Wednesday morning at an early hour following a brief illness. The news of her death reached this city a few hours later by telegram to her daughter, Miss Lula Johnson at their home, 1501 Church street.
Active In Fraternities
Mrs. Harrel, who was active in feminine fraternal circles and prominent in their councils, left the city Wednesday for Cleveland. On Monday night her daughter here received a telegram telling of the critical illness of her mother. A few hours later a second telegram came advising that Mrs Harrell's condition had improved, but on Wednesday morning a third telegram bore the sad news of her death. None of the message told in detail of Mrs. Harrell's illness, nor death. Her body is on route home for funeral and interment. Mrs. Sarah Harrel was also a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of Baltimore Union, of the Chaldeans, Olive Leaf and Eastern Star. She was a member of the First Baptist Church. Funeral arrangements will be announced upon the arrival of the body here.

WOMAN'S WORLD
ATTENTION, GIRLS: In this column each week, Naomi will help you with your problems. Questions on conduct, custom, dress, or any subject that you are interested in will be carefully considered and answered. Write your questions in ink on one side of the paper and address them to "Naomi," Carne Norfelt Journal and Guide, 711 E. Olney Road.
ATTENTION, YOUNG MEN
Dear Naomi:
I am a girl 18 years of age, full, brown skin, small features. My girl pals tell me I am nice looking: I cannot see it. My hair is not bobbed.
My problem is concerning love also. Of all my going with boy clums I have not found one I love. I have been asked to marry, but I did not think that I could make anyone a good wife if I did not know him.
I would like to become acquainted with a nice young man—a hand-some young gentleman with high morals.
I would like for you to print this so that some nice man could see it.
Alone.
Dear Alone:
I am sending in your letter as you asked me to do and I hope you will find some friend you will be destruous of making is pleasant for you.
In regard to the other letter you included, be patient and do what is right and the good Lord will send you the right kind of company in plenty of time. What is the rush about wanting to get married anyway? You are so young; there is plenty of time. Look for a job and go to work. If you cannot go to day school why study your books at home and you can improve yourself that way.
ONE WERE ONLY FAR
AWAY!
I read each week your wonderful advice given. I am a brown skin girl with heavy black hair, five feet six inches tall and weigh 148 pounds. I am twenty years old and in love with two very nice young men, who treat me very nicely. I don't know which one I admire most. When I am with another I long for the other. Each has asked me to be his wife. That question comes up in every letter I have received from them. Please advise me what to do. I am in love with both and believe with all my heart they love me. Will you please aid me with my problem:
1. Do you think that I would
2. be happy with it?
2. Is it proper for a young man to send a girl money without her asking for it?
3. Is there any harm in letting a young man kiss you in a few days if you are engaged to marry.
4. Is jealousy any real proof of love.
5. Should girls dance at all with men?
M. C. J.
P. S.—Do you send personal advice?
Dear M. C. J:
Well, I had a letter something of the same order last week. Did you read the paper? Surely you do not believe you love them both the same for you do not. The difference is there. It is up to you to find it. Most girls are carried away with the idea of having two much anxious beaus, but rest assured you love one better than the other and therefore try them out plus yourself and you will soon see that one falls shorter than the other.
1. Provided each one loves you and according to your temperament why each one may have it in his power to make you happy.
2. No.
3. No, but don't forget I am opposed to girls playing fast and lose with their kisses.
3. No, real love is unselfish and jealousy thrives on selfishness that girls are funny about wanting, their sweethearts to be jealous and seem to feel the more jealous he is, why the more he loves them.
a. Yes, why not? Naomi.
P. S.—Yes, send stamp.

City Has First Colored Woman Haberdasher
What is regarded as a very novel addition to the city's colored business enterprise is the Quetrell Shop, recently opened at 610 Church street by Miss Helen Quetrell, one of the popular local school teachers.
The Quctrell Shop is a haberdashery, and one of the only two in the city conducted by colored people and the only one in this section operated by a colored woman. It carries a complete line of men's furnishings, ladies hosiery, silk underwear, etc. at standard prices. The stock is tastily arranged and the store has a most inviting appearance. Miss Quctrell has begun her business venture with service at reasonable prices as her motto, admittedly a good one. It is believed that she will quite readily draw a substantial patronage, not only because of her local popularity but because of the service she is trying to render as well.
Miss Quetrell is a Norfolk young woman and very well known in her community. She is receiving profuse congratulations from her friends and the general public for her attempt to add to the economic standing of her people in this city. An inspection of the shop is invited, and mere man may rest assured that he will obtain there a service commensurate with the fineness of the proprietress.
PUBLIC MAYNOW INVEST IN STOCK OF LINC'LN BEACH
PUBLIC MAYNOW INVEST IN STOCK OF LINC'LN BEACH
The Lincoln Amusement Corporation of Newport News, operating the Lincoln Theatre, 20th street and Jefferson avenue, and Lincoln Beach, near the Norfolk-Newport News boat wharf, is now offering the public $5000.00 worth of its preferred stock at $10.00 per share, non-assessable 7 per cent accumulated dividend guaranteed.
This corporation has made substantial progress since organization, and having lately acquired the new beach, admitted one of the finest recreational resorts for the race in this section, its prospects for very substantial advancement with a good investment for its stockholders seems assured. Particularly does this seem to be the case when it is considered that although the beach has been opened only this summer it has drawn a continuous flow of crowds from all sections of the State and elsewhere. People who have visited the beach during the summer months have been unanimous in declaring it an ideal resort, but in need of further development. It appears quite certain, therefore, that the added improvements which the management will install with the new capital from stock sales that Lincoln Beach will quickly become the greatest amusement and recreational attraction in this vicinity. That being the case a profit for the Lincoln Amusement Corporation investors appears assured.
The offices of the concern are Newport News men of proved integrity and business acumen. Emmett R. Peyton is the president; Dr. P. A. Scott, vice-president and Henry R. Dixon, secretary-treasurer. The office of the corporation is located in the Lincoln Theatre Building, from which the stock is being sold by mail or person.

FLOWERS TURNS BACK GREB TO RETAIN MIDDLEWEIGHT CROWN
"IS NATIONAL TENNIS A WHITE MAN'S GAME?"--GARRISON VILLARD
CHAMPSHOWS SUPERIORITY OVER HARRY
(By Preston News Service)
Madison Square Garden, Aug. 26.—Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, who played fast and loose with all the rules of training when he was middleweight champion of the world, so that he lost the title to Tiger Flowers, of Georgia, was unable to regain his lost laurels in a return bout at Madison Square Garden on last Wednesday night.
Flowers, only race man to hold the world's middleweight championship, easily outpointed Greb in a 15-round bout to a decision.
A furious rally in the 14th and 15th rounds, in which the Pittsburgh threw all his waning strength into the conflict, could not change the outcome, which was decided long before the bout drew to a close.
Champion Greb's Master.
The fight, which for the most part was slow and uninteresting, was a repetition of the previous encounter between this pair last February. Flowers demonstrated that he was always Greb's master, beating Harry to the punch and outscoring him when they wrestled in close quarter.
Greb, despite his promises to reform, obviously had not trained, obeyed, and was in no shape to beat the "Tiger," who was unmarked at the finish, save for a slight cut over one eye, sustained when his face collided with Greb's boobing head.
The evening was enlivened by the misguided enthusiasm of two Greb's women friends, w h o went around the ring after the decision had been rendered attacking those they believed responsible for the verdict. One of the girl slapped Dick Murphy, veteran Western Union chief in the mistaken belief that he was one of the judges. Although the crowd rooted for Greb throughout the fight and Jim Crowley, the referee, gave Harry every break when it came to a question of separating the men, there never was any doubt as to the champion's supremacy. Flowers fought as well as he ever has, in the face of a slashing, two hundred attack which Greb launched at long range. There was a deal of holding, in which both men were offenders, and too much was to witness fans, who numbered nearly 15,000. The champion cut Greb about the face but otherwise the challenger was unhurt although badly winded.
The fight demonstrated conclusively that the Pittsburgh, thrus his excesses and his vigorous ring career, has bunt himself out. Flowers at no time displayed a winning punch. He merely had to get out in front on points and stay there to whip an opponent whose judgment of distance was awry and whose famous "windmill" attack was a thing of the past. Madison Square Garden fairly bulged with the howling crowd that turned out to be the fight. In fact, this bout drew the largest crowd seen at the garden many moons, despite Tex Rickard's association that "mixed bouts" were not popular in New York. Flowers was presented with a "championship belt" by the Boxing Writers' Association prior to the fight.
(By Associated Negro Press)
New York City, Aug. 26. According to the editor of Nation, the Negro athletes' only alternative is to develop their own associations and organization. Discussing this subject editorially, the editor declared:
"One hundred Negro tennis players fought for the Rhea tennis at St. Louis in the tenth annual Negro tennis tournament of the United States. Why should these tennis players be segregated in a race tournament? Is national tennis a white man's burden? Why should not the best of the Negro players be entered in the national tournaments at Forest Hills? Many northern colleges make a contribution to racial understanding by, welcoming Negro players in football, baseball, and track; last year the University of Chicago had a Negro tennis player on its team. But in professional baseball, non-collegiate tennis, and in most other sports Negroes are barred from competition with the whites. The major leagues now admit even the most brilliant colored baseball player; the National lawn Tennis Association made up exclusively, with whom members. Even in popular Dempsey has to encode meeting his most powerful rival, who happens to be a Negro. The colored athletes have only one alternative to develop

WHITE OUSTED
COMMISSION
---
Philadelphia, Aug. 26 — True to rumors that he would lose his position, Charles Fred White, only Negro member of the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission was ousted by Governor Pinchot Tuesday and no successor was appointed to fill his vacancy. The Governor made known his action by a public letter theusted that he accused Pinchot of intimidating him with the reasons why he was removed from the board. Governor Pinchot based the reason of his action on what he claims to be the failure of White to live up to promises to desist from discussing boxing disputes in the press. Reports had been circulated that White had endangered his position on the commission by voting against him. Pinchot was finally scheduled for Sesqui-Centennial Stadium in Philadelphia.
White's action in this matter, which placed justice above dollars that would come to the state, is said to have enraged Governor Pinchot to such an extent that he is seeking a successor to White.

GREB TO RET
Coach Of St. I
Newport News "P" for five years after graduating from St. Paul, and he made phenomenal success in the capacity of physical director. He is an athlete of demonstrated ability and is well-known to the collegiate world. He is a baseball, football, tennis, basketball and track official of great magnitude, efficiency and experience. He is St. Paul's only five letter man, having been awarded the St. Paul official monograms in football, basketball, tennis and track. His name appears in the archives of St. Paul's greatest quarterbacks. In 1918 he won signal honors on the field and he was a strong candidate for the A-basketball eleven. As a fieldman he, he was equal to any and surpassed by none; and, among the followers of the great game, he was rated as a quadruple player, being best of foot, a kicker, a forward passer, and a terrific line plunger.
In sincerity of purpose and breadth of experience, Taylor has no superior. He ascends to the head of St. Paul's coaching staff with ripe and rich experience and upon the recommendation of the Alumni. The appointment of him as head coach is a happy reunion of sport at St. Paul. The alumni, faculty, students and friends laud St. Paul upon her excellent selection.
Maddux First Assistant
Ashur Lee Maddux, former St. Paul baseball and football captain, star half-back, end and popular player, has been appointed first assistant coach. Mr. Maddux is thoroughly familiar, with t h o Douglass-Taylor famous system, having played three consecutive years on the celebrated "wonder team." He is a graduate of St. Paul, High School "22," College "24." The fact Taylor and Maddux have been chosen to directive the coaching is indicative of no early change in the unique Douglass-Taylor style of play which has been so favorably commented upon by coaches of national repute and sports editors of recognized ability.

Hunter and Wortham won the doubles championship from Johnson and Grayson of Indianapolis. This match was also decided in straight sets and by the same scores, 6:1; 6-0; 6-2. Hunter rose to even greater heights in the doubles than he had in the singles.

Memphis Team, Aug. 26. —The club saw two important changes in the standing of the clubs of the Southern League. Memphis by trouncing New Orleans in three of the four games played, took over the league leadership from their victims, and Albany got an even-break in the four games series with Birmingham and moved into third place, which was formerly occupied by Birmingham.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Aug. 26.—The securing of 'Jazz' Byrd as football coach is simply the first step in our football team to produce a national team. The Florida A. & M. College, in an interview with a number of the Associated Negro Press staff,
"We realize that 'Jazz' can not accomplish everything the first year" continued Mr. Lee, "but we feel that within three years he can produce a championship team. He knows the game, has an inspiring gridiron record himself, and will have the material with which to work. We have confidence in his ability and the administration is going to back him to the limit."

JACK AGAINST GIVING WILLS OPPORTUNITY
(By the Associated Press News)
New York City, Aug. 25—In cordoning to Hype Inc., a sports writer on the New York World, who is delegated to populate Jack Dempsey by telling how Jack is sacking the daylight or of his sparing partners and at the same time taking their pouchs with smiles, the champion has declared himself against giving Wills a chance.
Dempsey is quoted by Loee as saying: "I'll fight anybody if they lay the money in my lap but what is the use of talking? I'll tell you right now and frankly that I am against giving Wills a chance to make money from now on. I tried to help him make it, but what he saw that I might make sure he tries to stop me. That got me holling."
This statement has caused a little amusement among the binge fans who are trying to decide just how Jack has helped Harry make money, knowing that if Harry had been depending upon the champion's interest in his wield, he would have been consigned to the duties of a steward for life. That Dempsey "is against" grilling Wills a chance, however, caused no surprise as that has been proved by the effective manner in which he has dodged a fight with Wills. About the only thing he seems willing to give Harry is plenty of air.

We have opened an Ewald Tire Repair Shop here and want you to let us help you cut your tire expense by putting back into Guaranteed Satisfactory Service your "Rim Cut" "Broken Bead" "Blow-Out" and Thread-worn tires.
We use the Ewald Method, the only method that has ever proven satisfactory in putting those kind of tires back into service. To see the Ewald method is more than you can be convinced this can be done with success, but in having your tires just back into service by this method, you get a tire we guarantee to be as good as new. You have a tire with more head and heavier side walls than new tires; also a puncture proof and a tire heavy enough in body to resist some bruises.
Don't wait for your worn tires to blow out and ruin tubes, but call and see this method. Bring your old tires and let us select those that can be put back into satisfactory service at low prices.

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 21—(Bulletin)—Eyre Saitch, of New York City, has stood in the ranks of the tennis big guns for years, but last week he let loose a broadside that swept everything, including the 1925 national champion, Ted Thompson of Washington, before him. In three consecutive matches, including the finals, Saitch battered down the defenses of Tidewater's star, Dr. J. L. McGriff, of Portsmouth, Edgar Brown, former singles champ, and the brilliant Ted, all in straight sets.
Miss Isadore Channels of Chicago, now holds her fourth title in indies singles, hurling back to East's challenge in the person of Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia, 1925 champion. Her's was a wonderful comeback. Her playing this season was an unknown quality, for she entered little competition, and quietly prepared herself for the comeback. Men's doubles was postponed until Sunday on account of rain. Switch and Thompson were to meet Brown and Hudlin.

He is also on the program to deliver an address at the National Baptist Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., September 7 to 13, and was further selected to preach a sermon Sunday night to the Women's Auxiliary, which is a striking honor to come to any minister where thousands of preachers and workers meet from all over the United States. Dr. Allen will not attend the National Baptist Convention, owing to his trip to Europe to attend a World Conference on African Missions at Le Zoute, Belgium. First Calvary supports two missionaries on the foreign field, one of whom is in Africa. And the pastor and church are eager to get first hand information.
Dr. Allen leaves the city Monday accompanied by his two daughters, Misses Hattie Ellen and Mary B. Allen, who will attend the Lott Carey Convention.

Negro, Bird, charged with an offense involving a young white woman, constitutes a blot upon the record of the Commonwealth that cannot be removed by any amount of argument that the man got exactly what he deserved. Those resorting to such argument imply that the law and its duly constituted agencies could not be depended upon to deal adequately with the offender, an imputation as unjust as it is untrue." Adding its voice to the swelling chorus demanding that the lynchers be caught and punished, the Times continues:
"... and the Commonwealth's Attorney and other court officers owe it to themselves and to the good name of the County to do their utmost to run down all rumors that may come to them concerning the lamentable affair."
"The writing of the final chapter in this ugly story thus rests squarely with the officials and citizens of Wythe County, observes The Roanoke World-News, which very pointedly adds:
"They should remember that North Carolina, on several occasions, has turned criticism into praise by investigating thoroughly such outrages and by inflicting heavy punishment upon the offender. The officials of Wythe County should go about their task as courageously as North Carolina officials have done. They must go to the bottom of this mess, and see that the guilty parties pay the penalty for the stigma which they have placed on Virginia's good name."
Taking issue with a paper published in Southwest Virginia which attempts to find some justification for the lynching, the Newport News Times-Herald comments, "If the Negro in the Wythe County jail had been spared by the mob, and brought to trial by a jury of his peers, there is no doubt in the mind of any man in Wythe or elsewhere in Virginia that he would have been convicted and sentenced to the electric chair, provided, of course, that the evidence was sufficient to convict him.

was no excuse for mob law in that case." In another editorial the same journal adds:
"Southwest Virginia is making giant strides in the march of progress, and it has been receiving a great deal of valuable publicity. But the disgraceful, brutal, savage lynching of a colored man in the Wytheville jail is a setback to the entire region. That man was murdered. No matter how fiendish his crime may have been, he was entitled to a fair trial in a court of justice, for that is a right guaranteed in the Constitution of the State and the Constitution of the United States. Lynching him by a mob was in defiance of the laws of man and the laws of God, and it is a reflection on the character of the Commonwealth. The members of the mob must be run down, exposed and brought to the bar of justice."
The Herald's home contemporary, the Newport News Daily Press, speaks out in unmistakably denunciatory terms of the lynching under the caption, "Inconsiderate Lynchers." The Daily Press says, "Thinking alone of their own grievance, fifty citizens of one neighborhood in the county of Wythe took the law in their own hands and lynched a prisoner who was in the custody of the State. In so doing they defied their government and broke the laws of God and man. They broke God's Commandment "Thou shalt not kill." They broke

They trampled underfoot the great American principle that no person shall be deprived of his life except by the law of the land, and that every man accused of a crime has a right to a trial by an impartial jury of his vicinage, to be confronted with his accusers and to call for evidence in his favor.
The members of that mob had no consideration for the State and its laws and the rights of the prisoner, nor had they any consideration for the rest of their fellow citizens in Wythe and in the State at large. They knew that the lynching would be used against the county and State by foes of Virginia in other sections of the country. They knew that in the lynching records of 1926 the lynching in Wythe would be charged up against the Commonwealth of Virginia. But they had no consideration. They cared not for the effect which their lawlessness would have on their fellow citizens. They thought of nothing but their own revenge.
Now, then, why should the authorities of the county and the State have any consideration for them? Why should they not be apprehended and called to account? The only way that the county and the State can clear themselves of this stigma is to apprehend those reckless, inconsiderate men and bring them to the bar of justice. It is a duty which
the authorities owe to the Commonwealth and to the great body of law-abiding citizens of Virginia who are opposed to lynch law and who demand that every citizen, whatever may be his race or his station in life, shall have his rights in a court of justice, whenever, if ever, he is accused of a crime."
Progressive-Index
The Petersburg Progress-Index is of the opinion that Wythe County can do much to remove the stigma which the mob has cast upon it. It can bring such pressure to bear upon the Commonwealth's Attorney and other officials that they will be forced to make resolve efforts to convict those responsible for this high-handed attack upon the law." But the Progress-Index is not overconfident that anything will be done about the lynching and in this connection observes:
"But nothing is risked in saying that Wythe county will not do this. Nothing is risked in prophesying that no indictments will be returned as a result of this mob outrage. It is probably true that a hundred witnesses could be summoned who could give the names of leaders of the mob and who would do so unless willing to perjure themselves or go to jail for refusal to testify. So the stigma placed upon Wythe, not by "sensational newspapers," but by a handful of Wythe county citizens, will remain—for years to come. It could be wiped out in very large degree, but it will not be."

Then suspended body from tree and riddled it with bullets.
Times-Dispatch
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is of the opinion that "Wytheville stands indicted before the bar of public opinion and Virginia, because of Wytheville, stands indicted before the country as a State in which the despicable crime of lynching is permitted to continue." The Times-Dispatch then says:
"In permitting—or in failing to prevent this lawless execution of a prisoner—Wytheville has openly outraged law and order and it has betrayed its lack of confidence in its duly constituted courts. That is the real pity of this latest lynching. The real danger in such mob murders. It is an attack upon the courts which in Virginia is not justified. The crime laid at the door of the Negro is one that white people—and to their credit the same may be said of most colored people—do not tolerate. But there has been in recent years no miscarriage of justice in the courts that would inflame the people of any community to seize the adminis-

tration of justice which would justify an indignant citizenry in refusing to await the legalized execution of the court's sentence imposed after a jury had rendered its verdict. On the contrary, the courts of Virginia without exception to their promptness and by their high character have earned the confidence of the people, and there was no reason to believe that in the trial of the Wytheville Negro there would be any exception. * * *
"It is a sorry and a horrifying recital. Unless and until it be proved otherwise, let all Wytheville's best citizenry be absolved from knowledge of or participation in the lawless orgy of death and inflamed passions. And for the sake of their own community, and for the sake of Virginia let them press for a special jury to investigate this attack on law and order, and for the punishment of those who thus have dared to refuse their trust to the courts and in their place have exalted the bullet, the rope and the torch."
TOBIAS SPEAKS
AT WORLD Y. M.
C. A. CONFERENCE
C. H. Tobias, Colored Work Secretary of the National Y. M. C. A. Council, addressed the World Conference of Y. M. C. A.'s now in session at Helsingfors, Finland, before 1,500 delegates from 46 nations as a representative of Negro youth. Copies of his address printed in German and French were distributed on the conference floor. Mr. Tobias also led the discussion of the group of which the brother of the King of Sweden was a member.
Max Yergan, of South Africa; R. W. Bullock, boys work secretary of the U. S. A.; Prof. W. S. Nelson, of Howard University were discussion leaders. Max Yergan also led the devotions at one of the sessions. The American Negro delegation numbered 18. There are five Africans present, and the colored group received the greatest recognition ever given Negroes by a World Conference, according to reports reaching this country.
Lynchburg News
The Lynchburg News feels that the crime "blackens the reputation of that section and in a few hours undoes much of the good so laboriously accomplished." "Southwest Virginians," The News continues, "should ask themselves if it would not be better for them and for their 'mountain empire' if Wytheville's crime were punished and punished so quickly and so adequately as to prevent its repetition."
Herald-Courier
The Bristol Herald-Courier, published much closer to the scene of the crime than any of the other papers that have been quoted, is no less sweeping in its condemnation of it. The Virginia press has spoken on this crime against humanity and the law with one accord and in unmistakable terms.

Rosa Henderson, famous

Madame Mamie Hightower
‘Madame Mie Hightower is in-
debted to no less personage than the
well-known Rosa Henderson for the fo-
Towing: “T eannot say enough in favor
of your wonderfulGolden BrownBeauty
Requisites. They are positively the
greatest preparations of their kind that
T have ever used. As is the case with
millions of my sisters, beauty means,
much tome and I am sincerely grateful
eothebountiful blessings that you have
bestowed upon all of us by creating
these unequalled cosmetics.” Tributes |
such as these are received daily by Ma-
dame Hightower, and this kind woman
findsno end of satisfaction and pleasure
in knowing that her efforts are being
appreciated. Over 12,000 drug stores
are now distributing Golden Brown
products to a loyal and appreciative
group, and Memphis, Tennessee, is
uchicving international prominence and
sublicity through the recognized genius
of one of her best-loved daughters...

Americans Dance
Negro Steps
To Negro Music
That the music of the Negro has charmed the white American is a foregone conclusion, for according to A. G. Gulbranson, piano manufacturer, "America is dancing the Negroes steps to the Negroes" music.
Mr. Gulbranson is of the opinion that 'the Negro is the only artistic race in America which has written its racial characteristics and imposed its arts on the life of the Nation'
Germany has the waltz; France has the minuet; England has her dance dear to all sailors; Ireland, jig; Scotland the highland fling; Spain the fandango; Italy the tarantella, the even Czechoslovakia the polka. When you get to the Hawaiian Islands, the huihula greets you. But the United States has the fox trot and the Charleston invented by the oved man. The Vijaya real is almost forgotten, and the antiquarians are attempting to revive as well try to resuscitate the Indian Scaph dance. In all the homes in America today white people are dancing 'Negro dances to the music of America, and the music of America is the rhythm of America.

Skinny Men Get That Manly Shape
Nothing Unusual for Underweight Men to Gain 10 Pounds in 30 Days With McGoy's
What is the use of any man staying, skinny as a beanpole ail his life, with deep hollows in his neck and cheeks.
Surely every thin rundown, anemic man and woman in America knows about McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets and the revitalizing vitamins that make flesh, increase vigor and strength.
Often in just a few short weeks, this superb combination of up-building agents will give to an underweight man a grateful, well knit, manly figure that he has loved and voicing for.
One woman who was exceedingly thin gained 10 pounds in 22 days and now has what most people would call a perfect, stunning figure.
And always bear in mind that McCoy's tablets do help feeble old folks who need an ideal tonic and that for puny backward children thousands are taken daily.
You can get 60 sugar coated tablets for 60 cents at any druggist in America and always with the understanding that if you aren't delighted with results after 30 days' treatment you can have your money back.

"Esther," said an actress, who appeared on the same bill with me some years ago, "why don't you use HiJa Quinine Dressing? It would improve your hair and increase your beauty one hundred per cent." My hair has always been a trial to me so I tried HiJa.
"Thank heavens I did, for as my actress friend had told me, this wonderful, delicately scented, nongreasy hair dressing did wonders with my hair. It made it longer, straighter and more silky than it had ever been before. It enabled me to dress it in becoming styles that increased my stage charm. Soon, instead of being my least attractive feature, my hair became, my most admired physical asset and since that day has always been complimented. Now HiJa Quinine Hair Dressing is my most highly-prized beauty aid."

The Woman That Fame Has Not Spoiled!
To her ears come echoes of the plaudits of millions, and yet she remains her sweet, kind, noble self. How many could wear success so well ... so naturally? How many could disclaim personal credit and so generously share it with faithful co-workers?
A previous installment of this story related Madame Mamie Hightower's first commercial undertaking . . . a beauty salon on Beale St. We told you of its instantaneous success and the many joys that it so generously distributed among its patronage. Madame Hightower's Beauty Salon continued to serve its patrons in a manner that made this shop and its beloved proprietress the talk of the town. Loud in-

This newspaper is proud to publish this series of articles dealing with the meteoric rise to fame and fortune of one of Our Group's best loved women. These striking narratives from the gifted pen of Ramsay Ray tell a story of a success gained and merited through years of consistent, conscientious and unselfish devotion to duty.
deed were the praises sung by a grateful multitude. Madame Hightower's beauty treatment opened avenues of newly-found happiness to many unattractive members of Our Group.

events of the day and planning for the morrow. Madame Highower's mind seemed to have an inexhaustible capacity for work, for when she was not actually compounding new mixtures in her chemical laboratory she was thinking of other products to create . . . new beauty blessings to bestow.
She Decides to Make a New Kind of Soap
One morning as Madame Hightower crossed the threshold of her shop she announced to her staff of assistants with customary brevity "Today we start work upon the perfection of a soap that will be superior to any soap now being made." All who heard these words realized that Madame Hightower would know no rest until her ideal had been attained. Immediately the entire facilities of her well-equipped laboratory were devoted to the making of this new soap and after many weeks patient effort and research were rewarded.
Used and Praised the World Over
Today this product is known the world over as Madame Mamie Hightower's Golden Brown Beauty Soap and many thousands of calces of it are sold annually by drug stores and agents everywhere. But whata farcry it is from today's international usage to yesterday's limited patronage in the shop on Beale St.1 Success greeted the soap. Patrons of the shop marvelled at the sweetly-scented, skin-soothing soap that was always used there. Many sought to take home packages of it. Soon there was a great demand for it and for this reason it was put up for home use. This sale increased steadily and soon came orders from out-of-town. Some from as far as two and three hundred miles. Of course, in those days this was quite a compliment to Madame Hightower's prowess as a

"The Fairy Godmother of Her Group" is the way that one of her ardent admirers described this internationally known beauty culturer. Like some guardian angel she hovers about the homes of those less fortunate, bringing happiness and good cheer. For always is this good woman ready to share her cup of joy and prosperity with those who throats are parched with adversity. Eagerly does she loose her purse strings to give to worthy cause. It is an old saying that "Charity begins at home" but as Madame Hightower puts it "Charity may begin at home . . . but it shouldn't end there" . . . and with her, Charity has no ending . . . her dispensations of goodness and bestowals of happiness are exceedingly generous and far-reaching . . . ever doing GOOD where, when and how she can.
chemist but when one today considers that orders come from thousands of miles and many nations it is easy to visualize the remarkable strides and elaborate expansion that Madame Hightower has made in the distribution of her munificent benefits.
Her Work Was Her Hobby; Our Group Her Inspiration
Madame Hightower's work was her hobby. In fact, to use the words of the famous beauty culturist "No one knows the sense of gratification that I feel in

knowing the happiness that my feeble efforts have brought to Our Group. I feel grateful for the opportunity of being of service to my people. I am deeply attached to my work for in it I see vast possibilities for doing good. And what greater accomplishment can there be in life than to do good for all." Note the spirit of sincerity that rings through every word. Can't you picture this kindly soul patiently striving with her faithful co-workers to create even now, while you read, a new beauty preparation for Our Group? Is it any wonder then that such a personage with such an unselfish code of living should be vested with such rare ability?
To Know Her Is to Love Her
Madame Hightower is loved most by those who know her best. Her closest associates deem it a privilege and a pleasure to be engaged in such a moritious undertaking. I could talk and talk and talk and then leave the story of this remarkable woman half untold. For truly is she an inspiration to Our Group. Truly is she a distinct personality whose attributes should be her added to the world because they help to make the world better. Already it seemed as if the beauty shop on Beale St. was beginning to prove inadequate for the growing needs of the rapidly developing business. More space was added but in a relatively short time quarters proved unequal to house the rapidly enlarging volume that was eventually merge into one of the greatest businesses of its kind in the world. Madame Hightower with her characteristic business acumen foresaw the handwriting on the well. She saw the phenomenal strides that the business was making. She saw that the demand for her products was stretching from Canada to the Gulf Coast, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Her Group wanted her services. Why should they be restricted?
Madame Hightower Plans the Future of Golden Brown
Why should she not expand her operations and make her creations available to every brother and sister no matter where they lived? These matters were going through the head of Madame Hightower. Again she sought the wise counsel of her faithful husband, Zack, and he, ever equal to the occasion, foresaw an answer to the problem.

Golden Brown Beauty Preparations are highest quality
The success of Madame Mamie Highower's preparations is due entirely to their high quality, for very little money has been spent for advertising as compared to the huge amounts spent by imitators. First there was only*Golden Brown Beauty Ointment at 25 cents. Gradually new things were developed, tried and proven and then offered Madame Highower's friends, Golden Brown Half Dressing, 50 cents; the Face Powder, 50 cents; Beauty Soap, 25 cents; Cold Cream, 50 cents; Vanishing Cream, 50 cents; Compact, 50 cents; Rouge, 50 cents; Lip Stick, 25 cents; Talcum, 50 cents, and the wonderful Flowers of Liberia Perfume, $2.50. All of these are sold by thousands of agents and those druggists who value the patronage of Our Group.

Success has not spoiled Madame Mamie Hightower. She still gets a thrill out of helping others improve their personal appearance. She receives many letters from men and women who ask her personal advice. Many have gotten to know her personally and there has sprung up between them a friendship which will grow to intimacy. If you are bothered by a blotchy complexion, harsh, unruly hair or other things that detract from your appearance and charm, you may feel free to write Madame Mamie Hightower, care of Golden Brown Chemical Co., Memphis, Tennessee.

Judge' Strikes At Chaiang Lash
In charging the Forsyth County, N. C., Superior Court grand jury recently, Judge J. M. Orleshy declared:
"The time has passed in North Carolina when cruelty to convicts will be tolerated. Whipping convicts is an insult to the decent citizenship of North Carolina and I don't intend to sentence any man to any chain-gang where he is beaten with a lash or anything else. If the superintendent or guard can't get the service out of his men without whipping them, then he is incompetent to be in charge of convicts."
The 'truth' of the concluding sentence of that statement is unquestioned, and it agrees exactly with the opinion expressed by this newspaper the week before Judge Oglesby made this notable charge to his grand jurors. When decent citizenship and humane administration of the law take such thrusts at the infamous chain-gang lash and other cruelties as this North Carolina judge has done, it is a forgone conclusion that these vestiges of the dark ages are doomed to the limbo of things forgotten, and that is as it should be.
Pender To The Front Again
The news that David Pender announces that he is tired of "loafing" and will soon engage: activity in business here again with the launching of a large coffee and tea store enterprise is received by his fellow-citizens of Norfolk with a great deal of pleasure. Mr. Pender, starting on the proverbial showcasing, built up a wonderful chain grocery store business here in a quarter of century, from which he retired as the head about a year ago when the business passed into other hands through voluntary sale. Since that time he has busied himself in the main with civic and charitable endeavors, which have been a credit to himself and his community.
Mr. Pender's decision to re-enter business; here on a large scale gives evidence of his faith in his community which he has done so much to upbuild. It comes with a particular degree of interest to our group to hear that Norfolk is to have what promises to be another vast Pender enterprise, knowing, as we do that it will mean more opportunities for local labor.
David Pender jr., is to be the president of the new concern, according to reports, and the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has every reason to believe he will adhere to the liberal policies of his father in respect to local labor and in dealing with the general public. Here is hoping that Mr. Pender will go through with his coffee and tea store idea and that the new enterprise which is to bear his name will meet with no less success than the now famous D-P Stores.
Where Craps Held Not A Crime
Where Craps Held Not A Crime
We take it for granted that the average reader of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE has heard of the game of craps, often styled "African Golf" by waggish reporters, if he has not a working acquaintance with the game. We do not know anything about the game, but it is said to be a very fascinating one. Certainly it is not a very intellectual or dignified game. We should style it one of the lowest forms of gambling if asked to define it. Anyhow, it is a popular game, and one not in favor with the police authorities, who are "onto it," and make it hard for those engaged in it "caught with the goods on 'em," as the slang has it, and slang is often more expressive than the choiceest word of refinement defining the same thing. But the elegant don't indulge in slang, until it becomes classic, and that is often the fate of it, the slang word or phrase.
Down in Birmingham, Ala, where a great many queer race things crop out, Judge Abernathy holds that crap shooting is not a crime and that "a working Negro" caught in the act should not go to jail. The loafing Negro who lives by his wits must not come under the Judge's ruling. The Judge has instituted an "anti-jail slip policy." It reads: "The bearer is a working Negro, and will appear in court on his own bond, and I hereby authorize any officer of my court to let him sign his own bond." The Judge has issued about 200 slips, which he advises the holder to take into any crap game he may take part in, and says so far his confidence has not been abused.
"A working Negro will always play fair," says the Judge.
Editorial Page of The State Press On The Lynching Of Raymond Bird
The voice of the State press in denunciation of the recent lynching of Raymond Bird at Wytheville and in demanding that the perpetrators of this crime against humanity and the Commonwealth be punished has been heard in what is practically unanimous accord. A lynching is so dark and heinous; so revolting to the precepts of civilization and to the tenents of orderly constituted society that there can be no bright spots about it, but if there is to be discerned a ray of light anywhere in connection with Virginia's latest lynching, it is the torch held up by the State press in publishing, uncolored and uncompromisingly, the full details of the diabolical mess, then editorially denouncing it resolutely and unequivocally, and demanding that the law of the Commanwealth be made to reach and punish these offenders against its majesty.
Bird was accused, condemned and executed without having his day in court, without the opportunity of facing his accusers or being heard in his defense, all in violation of Anglo-Saxon custom. It is a terrible price for society to pay, but if the paying of it shall so serve to enhance the sacredness of justice that personal vengeance shall never dare again to over-ride it in Virginia without the full knowledge that strict accountability cannot be escaped, Bird will not have died altogether in vain. The mob must be taught its lesson. The administrators of the law must be made to know that the people demand that their laws shall not be flouted nor derided by any man or group of men; that personal vengeance must never dethrone legal process in Virginia. The Wytheville lynchers can be caught, and the long arm of the law should not relent in its quest until they are rounded up and made to pay the penalty of murderers.
Although the overwhelming majority of persons lynched in this country—the only civilized country indulging in the barbarous pastime—are Negroes, it is not a racial affair. There is a suspicion that the advocates of a Federal anti-lynching law have made the bunglesome mistake of giving it the savor of racial legislation. Lynching is anti-constitutional and anti-social. It concerns, and vitally so, the foundation of free government, the security of democracy and the perpetuity of the Republic. It must be blotted out.
The Virginia press is striking blows at the nefarious institution that must eventually have their effect; and that is, in spite of the deplorable and revolting lynching of Raymond Bird, a most encouraging sign that the State will in time make the repetition of such a disgrace unthinkable.
Million-Dollar Endowment For Fisk
Not so long ago the American people were called upon to establish a Million-Dollar Endowment fund at Fisk University. According to Mr. William H. Baldwin, trustee of Fisk and chairman of the executive committee, $60,000 is all that is now required to make this effort a success. Asking for the co-operation of the press and public in raising the needed $60,000, Mr. Baldwin significantly says:
"We are all anxious to strengthen and enlarge the provisions for college and university training for Negroes in the South. For two reasons: The colored youth is demanding these opportunities in increasing measure, and the provisions of these facilities will stimulate a more general recognition of Negro progress and thus will contribute to interracial understanding and goodwill.
"The situation demands generous support for all worthy Negro colleges. Fisk alone cannot begin to meet the need, but establishment of the significant Million-Dollar Endowment at Fisk will help greatly to focus attention on the whole group."
In late years Negro educational interest has begun a focus upon college and university training. The post-war period has accentuated the need of trained Negro leadership as never before and the problem of providing that leadership is largely that of our institutions of higher learning. Our vocational and normal schools have done fairly well, even though their requirements are still inadequate as a whole, in the matter of receiving endowments and other generous support. But our universities and colleges have received only the faintest benefit from philanthropy. As the New York Times appropriately observes:
"A public opinion which continues to think of Negro education solely in terms of agricultural and industrial institutes developed under the leadership of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington to meet the problems of a distinctly rural economy misses the significance of what has occurred. . . . The outstanding effect on American life of the World War has been the Negro migration not merely geographically from the South to the North and West, but also vocally from farming to industrial and city life."
That is obviously true. In the economy of Negro life of the present and as indicated for the future, higher education for colored people must be enlarged to meet the needs of the race. The Fisk Endowment must be won, and Negroes themselves need to exert every possible influence toward that end. We must do our best in the way of contributions and implore our known white friends of Negro education not to fail us in this hour.

This particular railroad had been constructed some fifty years ago. How the
fifty years ago. How the workers had scarred the face of nature cutting pathways through the hills. Tons and tons of earth and rock had been removed, leaving prehistoric strata all exposed. But an underbrush had been busy now for more than two generations. Trees and underbrush had sprung up to hide the ruthlessness of man. One could almost picture a time when these cuts and wounds of mother nature would be outgarded.
workers had scarred the face of nature cutting pathways through the hills. Tons and tons of earth and rock had been removed, leaving prehistoric strata all exposed. But an underbrush had been busy now for more than two generations. Trees and underbrush had sprung up to hide the ruthlessness of man. One could almost picture a time when these cuts and wounds of mother nature would be completely camouflaged.
The same healing agency is at work in man. Physical hurts and wounds are gradually cased and hidden. The leg is broken, the foot is scalded, the eye is inflamed, the finger is cut. But give nature a little time. Severed bones knit, new skin replaces that burned, the poisons and festers are carried off.
So it is with hurts and wounds of the spirit. The rough hand of bereavement lascrates. Misfortune and disappointment, like giants' booted feet, bruise us cruelly. The child dies, after all our sitting up through weary nights and our expenditure of all we had on doctors and medicines. Our hearts are torn and bleeding. Sight of her little chair starts the tears. The mere feel of the doll's hair she used so tenderly to brush makes everything go dark. And the memory of the crape on the door and the little casket in the front room, who will say it is not bitter?
Or, the high constable tacks up a sale notice on the door; a midnight fire destroys the earnings of a lifetime; a lie or slander prevents our promotion; a trusted friend turns his back upon us. If there is anyone who says such things do not leave defacements on the spirit, he or she is certainly out of the ordinary.
But give nature, human nature, the God-given powers of restoration within us, a chance. And, lo, the spirit is healed and serene as though there had been no scars. See the man deeply hurt in spirit a year or so afterward and he is a different person. And so no one need despair in trouble. God has so arranged it in His world that agencies of healing are at work as well as agencies of hurt and destruction. The Christian is consolled in believing it is God's will to "wipe away tears from off all faces."

Virginia Disgraced Again
From: Newport, N.J.
When some people begin to commit unnatural crimes, they seize the first chance to make staking horses of other people, because circumstances are against them, as they suppose, and there is not much fear of detection or punishment, they seize the chance to add a worse crime, with the hope of destroying whatever evidence there may be against them; they overdo themselves in the hope to fool man, but overlook the fact that there is a just God, who, among some of the great truths He has given man through His inspired word, has made known the truth that, as Saint Paul has aptly said: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." And while reasonable people will surmise that one crime is committed to hide another, and man can be deceived, God sees and knows, and will visit His wrath upon those who attempt to deceive—and that, too, by committing the most brutal deeds.
It is useless to argue for the poor, defenseless Negro, as all the circumstances seem to argue in his favor and exculpate him from the crime charged against him. It was necessary to put him out of the way and close his mouth—and this was done. While the report of the crime makes the usual stereotyped remark that the crime was committed by persons unknown, the authorities might find something else which made the urge necessary to sacrifice this poor unfortunate human being.
Education And Crime
W. O. Saunders in The Independent
There prevails everywhere in the South a notion that education spoils the Negro. There is no evidence anywhere that this is true and there is much evidence that this is false. Education may spoil a Negro for inadequately paid menial labor, but it makes him a more upright, a more conscientious and a more thrifty citizen.
There are hundreds of educated Negroes in Elizabeth City; they do not figure in the police courts; they do not make themselves obnoxious to their white neighbours; they work regularly, save money, acquire land, build homes, attend to their own business and raise children who will be less and less dependent upon white men for their economic progress. You will not find their children on the chain gangs in North Carolina in years to come; you will find them owning land and building homes.
The term "Nigger" has always been resented by self-respecting members of our race. If it is used to any one of our race by a member of the other race it calls forth deep indignation and resentment. We dislike the term as much as a Jew dislikes to be called a "Sheeny", a respectable Italian to be called a "Dago", a poor white man to be called a "Pecker-wood" and yet we aid and abet in keeping this term alive. Go on the street any day, pass a crowd of loungers, listen for a few minutes, and you will hear this term constantly used. In fact some who pose as possessing culture do not hesitate to use this term in speaking about each other. Let us set the example by refraining from this word which is full of opprobrium, and then we can influence others that it is considered had taste to use. Charity begins at home—ARKANSAS SUVEY.

POLK BELIEFS OF THE SOUTHERN
NEGRO. By Newbelle Niles Puckett,
Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Sociology,
Western Reserve University. Chapel
Hill: University of North Carolina
Press. $5.00.
The author in this book goes to much trouble to show the original source and the background of many beliefs held by Southern Negroes. It may, be super-sensitiveness, but the impression certainly registers that perhaps the author is either other-zealous in etching his background or is unduly exercising himself to show somebody that all is not ebony that is related around the traditional fireside. Of course, if there are origins other than one should think, it is the work of the folk-lorist to trace the lore to the origin, show its variations and the changes that have been consummated in the recitation of the lore by Negroes.
But do not get the wrong idea. This book is a monumental work. It is 644 pages of vital, living matter. And the author does not entertain any belief that he knows the Negro thoroly, simply because he had a Negro "mammy" or employs "cullud servants". He does not say he had or has either, but he says this:
"Overwhelmed by the frenzy of a 'holy dance' a Negro minister of my acquaintance panted: 'You sees me danein', folks, but de skip's on de inside.' After twenty years or more of close association with the Negro, an honorary membership in 'de Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church' and several years' experience as an amateur 'hoodoo-doctor', I am convinced that 'de signs an wonders' disclosed here are outward manifestations of a well-nigh inscrutable Negro soul. My peep behind the curtains has destroyed for me the fable that the 'Southern white man THOROUGHLY understands the Negro, and has opened my eyes to the importance of objective study as a means of establishing more cordial relationships.
"In a general sort of way the Southerner does understand the Negro, but this understanding is limited almost completely to the practical affairs of life, and consists chiefly in knowing how to make the Negro work. Regarding the feelings, emotions, and the spiritual life of the Negro the average white man knows little. Should some weird, archaic, Negro doctrine be brought to his attention he almost invariably considers it a 'relic of African heathenism,' though in four cases out of five it is a European dogma from which only centuries of patient education could wean even his own ancestors."
This confusion of African and European lore, in Mr. Puckett's opinion, only intensifies cultural differences. "For this reason," he says, "I have modified this volume, originally a dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Yale University, into its present form. In essence, a study in acculturation, it centers chiefly around folk-lore and suspicion, because in almost all other affairs of Negro life the African element has been supplanted by the European. Its aim is to present these Negro folk-beliefs to show their origin whenever possible, and to indicate some of the general principles governing the transmission and content of folk-lore in general."
There is no time to be lost in gathering this material and Mr. Puckett has made a start and completed his effort. Some statements and assertions will offend, they will sound like Anglo-Saxon wolves in friendly folk-lorist skins. But, you go into this book to read folk beliefs. And you do, and more, you have an adroit weaving in of background of history, sociology, anecdote. In short, we have a complete work that a future writers will use as a standard reference; and we leave the book with a deep satisfaction.
"Line by line," concludes the author, "increasing knowledge and pride of race are erasing forever these records of folk-thought. My appeal is again to those of folk-lore, white or black, European or African, to search out and preserve these fascinating 'mental antiques,' that in the future some ambitious soul, observing only their eruditions, may explain: 'We have advanced', or, struck by some homely gem of thought, contrasted by sheer simplicity with the opinions of his day—a Heplewhite creation in a room of modern furniture—may ponder sorrowfully over the limitations of a machine made culture."
Read the book. It is worth it, for there is a beauty of simplicity in the beliefs of our unsophisticated brothers.

THE FARM THE NEGRO'S BEST CHANCE
The world to day is city made. This urban craze is sweeping the globe like wildfire. The invention of machinery and the rise of modern industrialism necessitates focalized bases of operation. In response to this demand, the population is flocking into crowded cities.
globe like wildfire. The invention of machinery and the rise of modern industrialism necessitates focalized bases of operation. In response to this demand, the population is flocking in to crowded centers in all
parts of the world. The large cities of the world show a greater increment during the past and present centuries than during all centuries of their previous existence. This unprecedented cityward tendency reaches its climax in the United States, where the urban component already has surpassed the rural, and is growing by alarming leaps and bounds.
To assert that the Negro's best chance is on the farm, in spite of the nation-wide and world-wide tendency to the contrary, is tantamount to the assumption that his economic welfare is governed by special and peculiar consideration. Booker T. Washington lived and died in the belief that, on the whole, the black man would find his best opportunity on the farm. But the progress of events plays havoc with the finality of human judgments. Booker T. Washington had scarcely been dead a year before the involvements of the World War frustrated all previous opinions and calculations as to the Negro's part in the general economic fabric. The necessities of the war created a vacuum in the labor market in the North. The Negro rushed in to fill the vacuum.
This northern migration was not the result of any existing policy. No one foresaw or desired it, but it was wholly an unwilled process which grew out of the exigency of events. During the past ten years fully 1,000,-000 Negroes have been transferred from the South to the cities of the North. The intrush into Southern cities has been almost as marked. What the Southern cities lose by northern migration they gain by fresh intake from the country, and serve as half-way stations in the drift from country to city.
The industrial demand created by the war and its aftermath will doubtless continue the demand for Negro industrial re-inforcement for some time to come. The Negro has fitted into the new lines of Northern industry with a commendable degree of success. That a promiscuous horde of crude laborers, used to the loose and inexact methods of Southern agriculture, should quickly have adjusted themselves to the more exacting discipline and efficiency of the exactions of the Northern standards of industrial pursuits is, indeed, creditable to the industrial capacity of the race. Black labor, after those who are unable or

Dr. Kelly Miller still sees the farm as the Negro's best hope, in spite of the gains in industrial advantages the race has made over years. "The industrial demand created by the war and its aftermath will doublest continue the demand for Negro industrial reinforcement for some time to come. The Negro has fitted into the new lines of Northern industry with a commendable degree of success. That a promiscuous horde of crude laborers, used to the loose and inexact methods of Southern agriculture, should so quickly have adjusted themselves to the more exacting discipline and efficiency of the exactions of the Northern standards of industrial pursuits is, indeed, creditable to the industrial capacity of the race."
unwilling to stand the test have been sifted out, will be welcome as an offset to the foreign supply excluded by the immigration policy.
But, after all, this can be looked upon only as an experiment and a temporary expedient which will provide for only a comparatively small proportion of the race for a time whose duration cannot now be determined. When the impulse of the war shall have spent its force and these Northern industries shall have settled down to their normal ways, Booker Washington's philosophy will be found to be basically sound as a comprehensive policy for most of the Negroes.
The Negro will always be at a serious disadvantage on account of the attitude of the white working-man. Commerce, manufacturing and mechanical pursuits readily lend themselves to labor organizations where, the whites claim a monopoly based on racial prerogative. The Negro in the main finds himself restricted to personal and domestic service and to the cruder forms of nondescript work. The policy of the white labor throughout the world is neither to compete nor to combine with the non-white workingman, but to exclude him from the arena of competition by the sheer force of racial dominance. This policy we find in operation in Australia, Canada and South Africa and in all parts of the world, where there is conflict of color. The white man is loath to do the same kind of work at the same time, under the same condition and at the same rate of remuneration as the non-whites, as being derogatory to his racial dignity and prestige. To undertake to analyze the nature, cause or cure of this racial intolerance would, indeed, be an engaging theme for philosophical speculation but, would have little or no practical, bearing upon the actualities of the situation with which we are now called upon to deal.
In the cities, North and South alike, the Negro still lingers around the outer edge of industry as an incidental fact rather than as an essential factor. The
black man is being eliminated as waiter, barber, butler, not by reason of inefficiency or inaptitude in these so-called service callings, but because the workingman is seeking to enlarge the domain of opportunities and is pushing downwards into the lower levels of occupation and is pushing out the weaker incumbent. The Pullman partner constitutes, the only occupation in which the Negro so far has been shielded from white encrachment. The Negro may not be a steam engineer or a street car motorman, not because he lacks steadiness and judgment, but because such invasion would be intuicing upon the reserved occupations of the preferred race. It does seem ridiculous to assert that a Negro chauffeur who can skilfully automate an automobile along the most crowded thoroughfare where there is no fixed tracks or guiding lines, for his vehicle cannot operate a street car as a motorman, where the ground track leaves him nothing to do but to start and stop at the ringing of the motor bell. But the caste spirit forbids. There are encouraging instances of exception here and there, but none to justify the expectation that the Negro will be given an even break in the battle for bread within any time with which we may now concern ourselves.
The Negro shows little developed aptitude tax or disposition to enter into city business and create and direct his own opportunity. He soldm buys and sells commodities with a view of gaining a livelihood on the marginal profit. He is practically self-excluded from this vast field of urban activities. Of the 200,000 Negroes in the Harlem section of New York City, not a single Negro could outfit himself with wearing apparel or equip his house with furniture and utensils by dealing with members of his own race. I am not now dealing with theories but with indisputable facts which seriously limit the Negro's field as a competitor in the sphere of industries.
When we turn to the country, the relativity of the situation is entirely different. He has neither the intolerance of racial rivalry nor the relative disadvantages which confront him in the city. The factors are easier to handle, and he has a fund of experience which enables him to cope with his environment. The farming industry does not so easily lend itself to labor organization which always operates to his disadvantage. An acre of land will bring forth the same harvest under Negro as under white tillage. The markets are color-blind. The price of the produce has no relation to the color of the producer. He is not crushed between the upper and the nether mill stones of large aggregation of capital on the one hand and the counter aggregation of white labor on the other—To be continued.
