Florida, as is carried on by whites at the present time and which resulted in the wounding of several Negroes by sailors they has brought forth arrests of protests to President Calvin Coolidge and a wave of indignation that has upset the entire Negro population of this country. in the effort to restore Miami and other cities in the path of the hurricane which brought some in Florida, the reports deserve, that sailors and soldiers, used with rifles have invaded New Jersey sections of the towns and are them into trucks in which they were carried to the storm-torn sections and compelled to work. In many instances, those completed in this fashion were en route to regular jobs but this made a difference to the armed whites. He excuses whatever were accepted but simply "get in that seat" and later command "get him and get to work." Negroes Resent Treatment After several days of this sort of infringement on their rights, cases in Miami, refused to be subjected to the treatment as a result a miniature race was staged Friday in which a woman, including one woman and two children, were wounded in the cub further abrasions. The militia was called out and to THE BLACK BELT, evily to safeguard those forcing conscription.

The following telegram, sent to president Coolidge by Hon. Edward H. Wright, political leader Chicago and a member of the Bosis Commerce Commission, is of the deluge of messages: Hon. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States Washington, D. C. "In the name of fifteen million Negroes in America, I protest against the conscription of Negro labor in Florida. 'Involuntary servitude has been abolished and is prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. 'There is no more justification for the conscription of labor than for the conscription of wealth against the owner's consent, even though a cataclysm may have created a community.' "I respectfully ask that our national Government see to it that the Constitution is upheld and respected in this matter." "EDWARD H. WRIGHT." Haward's New Prexy is Football Fan Washington, D.

GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE SLAVE MARRIAGE (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. Oct. 1-The United States Pension Bureau has finally decided to recognize slave marriages among Negroes of the South. This grew out of the fact that Mrs. Cintyh B. Brown, the widow of Matthew Brown, a slave, had asked for an increase in her pension from thirty to fifty dollars, per month. Mrs. Brown is now living in St. Paul, Minn. It appears that after Brown was freed he emailed with the Douglas Independent Battery, United States Colored Light Artillery. The case aroused the interest of Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota. The Brown were married before freedom according to slave custom, but the Brown were remarried in 1872. This information was conveyed to the Bureau of Pensions by Senator Shipstead and the Bureau had the record of the marriage. Although it had first declined to increase the pension of Mrs. Brown, after the letter explaining the second marriage, the Bureau of Pensions compilate with Mrs. Brown's pension for increase in her pension from thirty to fifty OF DEFINES 100 PER CENTERS FOR KU KLUX Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, Head Of William and Mary, Outlines True American In Accepting Klan Flag. SCORES RELIGIOUS AND RACIAL INTOLERANCE While the nation figuratively looked on with a mixed attitude of misgivings and distrust, the ku klux klan, thousands strong, moved on to the College of William and Mary, the second oldest institution of higher learning in America, Sunday and there presented that historic shrine an American flag, his speech of presentation, while the thousands of his fellow-klansmen grouped around, Dr. Hiram Wesley Evans, Imperial Wizard, lauded American traditions, praised William and Mary for the momentous part it has played in buttressing of those traditions, and yet, in the same breath uttered guarded, but nevertheless meaning platitudes on the race question "social equality," lynching and religion. Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, president of the institution, rising to the occasion in his speech of acceptance, lost not the opportunity to seek to implant the true principles of Americanism in the ku klux klan. He flayed religious and racial intolerance, and quoted liberally from the Virginia Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States, evidently for the benefit of his guests. Dr. Evans' Speech Said the Imperial Wizard Evans: "To restrict the rights of any citizen in the Republic one always must be able to show that law has been violated. America should remain American, and its people should adhere to the principles set forth in its Constitution. They should protect the liberty transmitted to them years and years ago. "We want groups to commingle and lose themselves in a common united effort. But you can't solve the racial equality question, and you will always have it before you.

It has been practically impossible to prevail upon northern congressmen in whose hands these selections are left to choose colored boys. Even after boys have been given the opportunity to take the examination, many obstacles have been put in their way to keep them from being. Four years ago Congressman Anselm of New York selected a colored boy to take the examination for the naval academy at Annapolis. But, it was said, he failed bacomed America has had three distinguished graduates of the military academy, of whom the late Cal. Charles Young was one.

REPORTED MRS. CHRYSLER SHOWS DUDLEY PLANNED UNUSUAL POWER TO TAKE HER LIFE ON THE HILLS By LOUIS B. LAUTIER Washington, D. C., Sept. 30—If her husband, S. H. Dudley, nationally known theatre owner and producer, business man and sportsman, had not agreed to forgive her and resume marital relations, Mrs. Desdemona Barnett Dudley, who was shot to death by Police man George S. Davis on September 21, planned to take her own life. That is the belief of Joseph H. Maxwell, proprietor of a book store, who was instrumental in Mr. and Mrs. Dudley effecting a reconciliation. Was Despondent On Wednesday, September 15, the day before Mrs. Dudley went to Atlantic City, N. J., where she was later joined by Mr. Dudley. She came to his place of business, despondent and blue, Mr. Maxwell said in telling of the reconciliation which led to the tragedy. Mrs. Dudley crying told him how very much she would like to see her husband. Mr. Maxwell says, Telling her that the only thing keeping her from seeing her husband was her pride, Mr. Maxwell states that he advised her to go to him, admit her wrongs and ask forgiveness. His story of their reconciliation is as follows: Wanted Forgiveness "Do you think he will forgive me?" she asked. "I told her that Mr. Dudley wanted her as much as she wanted him. That she was absolutely necessary to his happiness. "She agreed that I should go to Mr. Dudley's office, which I did. He was out. When I returned and told her, she broke down and began crying again. She though that Mr. Dudley had refused to see her. "That night I telephoned Mr. Dudley and asked for an appointment. He agreed to meet me at Eighth and M streets, northwest, in ten minutes.

The 100,000 Free Votes ber given on the subscription as CHRYSLER SHOWS UNUSUAL POWER ON THE HILLS Not satisfied with the claims of four manufacturers for their respective products, John F. Sawyer, Indianapolis business man, decided that his new car would have to do the stunts he selected before he would sign a bill of sale. Mr. Sawyer who was planning to take a vacation drive to Southern California in the new car, had four prominent makes in mind from which to make his choice. Inasmuch as his trip would take him over some of the steepest mountainous grades in the southern chain of the Rocky Mountains, he decided that the best hill climber among the four cars would be his choice. Eight miles south of Indianapolis the prospective owner found the ideal location for the test. It was the steepest hill in the territory adjacent to Indianapolis and was located in a farmer's field which was used for stock grazing. The close-cropped grass made traction rather difficult and this, coupled with the fact that the incline was "Uphill all the way," made it a real test. Each of the four cars "made the grade," two finishing in second gear and one in third, but it remained for the Chrysler "60" Coach to ascend to the summit in high from a standing start at the bottom, passing over the peak at 22 miles per hour. "I never saw a car climb a hill with such ease and absence of strain," declared the new owner after the test, as he signed the check that added another Chrysler owner. The Chrysler "60" Coach is one of the cars the Journal and Guide is giving away in its second "Everybody Wins" Subscription campaign. In making its selection of prizes the Journal and Guide, publishers sought the best and most popular cars. Both the Chrysler and Whippet are without a peer in their class. There is hardly a man or woman, boy or girl, who has not had a dream of some day being able to own and drive a beautiful Chrysler.

He is sparing no pains in trying to present the best array of athletes possible, taking on entire responsibility for everything that might and will aid in putting over a team that fans here will be proud to point to as a worthy representative club. Each member of the squad will be given proper care and attention, considering to the most minute details. So far as equipment is concerned, no team here or elsewhere will be more properly taken care of. In view of this the members for the team will rightfully owe him the best that is in the. The Norfolk Athletic Club has had no better advantage than is offered it now and the failing of the club to respond will not be from any lack of things that contribute to the making of a team of merit. If the team comes around as it should—and there is no reason to believe that it will not—athletic Norfolk will have to doff its hat to a magnanimous manager and promoter, who is interested in the development of the athletics of the youth of Norfolk at the same time, giving the city the best possible in the line of athletic diversion. The team of the Nortfolk Athletic Club, this year, is being built around such men as "Chubby" Billups, a truly versatile end; Howard Wright, beginning his third year with the club, in which time he has proved his worth as a guard; Reginald Jordan, one of the best combination guard-tackle developed in this section; Pat Thornton, the elongated end, who has written football history in Tidwater Virginia among independent and semi-professional athletes; Smith, hard-smashing back and lineman; "Ki" Gordan, a hard little nut to crack and a number of other men who have been with the club for some time. Indications surely point to a very good tram, rather than that, an excellent team. But the road N. A. will have to travel this year, will not be an easy one by any means. The squad will be forced to show its best in all contests.

JOHNSON, JR. "A Prince of His Race," which played at the Attucks before packed houses Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a presentation by David Starkman and Louis Groner, which was written and directed by Roy Calnek and released through the Colored Plays, Louis Corp, starring Hardy Henderson, Shing-Huang William A. Clayton jr., Lawrence Chenault, Arline uckey and Ethel Smith, takes a step forward in Negro motion picture production. It proved different from any that have come this way, in that it was not jumbled and hard to understand. It moved off with a smoothness which is maintained, with each scene following in proper sequence that gives the pictures more coherence than any produced and shown in this section since the making of "Prince of His Race," had a plot that was easy to catch and such act centered around the plot and worked out until the climax was reached. "APrince of His Race" is a story with a heart interest and it carries its moments of suspense and thrills. No attempt here, is made to revit this picture, but to show the marked advancement that new corporation has made over former Negro film productions. "I g o away from the race, in that it does not smack of racial clashes, or where a Negro girl falls in love with a white nit wit or vice versa. It is truly a good picture. Of course, there are rough edges that could have been polished up. This picture shows that much effort is being made to place the Negro films on a much higher plane than it has enjoyed since they have been in the making. folk Athletic Club cannot hope to run rough-shod over any opponents. But the men will be groomed to meet some heavy campaigning. The entire aggregation will be on edge each game to give the best possible showing in, both playing ability and clean sportsmanship. JOHNSON TO LEAD BOOKERS At a meeting of the lettermen of the Booker Washington eleven, Laurence Johnson, last year's versatile quarterback and triple threat man was elected captain of the Fighting Bookers to replace John Williams, last season's captain and captain-elect for 1926, who dropped out of school this year. Johnson has proved his worth to the Washington eleven, being one of the craftiest quarters produced at that school. After his election, Johnson tendered a very good talk to his teammates and pledged his loyalty and support to the cause of Booker Washington and the Fighting Bookers. Coach Wilson commended his boys on their keen judgment in selecting the player, who, by all means, possessed the qualifications for the post he was picked to fill. Rounding In Form The candidates for the eleven are fast rounding in form for the coming games. Daily workouts are being held at the 18th street field, where the boys are being carried through some rough work in preparation for the big conference games on the schedule. The boys are showing up well in the conditioning grind and all indication point to a well balanced team when the season gets under way in full swing. A good bit of the new material show promise. The new boys are giving the athletes a lively run for their births. Falson, very aggressive tackle, will probably be out of the first one or two games, suffering a pulled ligament sustained in one of the workouts. It is expected that he will pull around rapidly and be ready for harness again soon. Booker Washington will play Peabody Institute here the week before. The game completes the schedule of the local school lads. Games October 2 EAST Lincoln-Germantown Y. M. C. A. at Lincoln. SOUTH Johnson C. Smith-A. and T. at Charlotte. Va.

PAUL ELEVEN TO USE MUCH HERALDED HUDDLE SYSTEM AS TEAM'S FORTIFICATION FOOTBALL ELKS TO STAGE ADOLPH MENJOU GALA MOVIE OPENS WEEK AT BALL OCT 11 THE ATTUCKS Lawrencville, Va., Sept. 30.—In following the traditional Dougles-Taylor system St. Paul's football team will use the huddle system of giving signals when the Tigers face the Dragons at Seminary Field, Lynchburg, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Coach Hubert Taylor has been trying out both the tea party system of giving signals and also the usual way of having a quarterback bark the numbers and is convinced of the value of the former. The orange and black mentor is not using the huddle system to eliminate the quarterback, but to make the opponents' defense less certain on account of their inexperience, it is likely to meet an unbalanced line. Charles Hall will give the signals at the tea party gatherings. Line-up To Be Best St. Paul will line up for the FOOT BY WINSTO NOTE—Winston Douglas received his high school education at Somerville High School, Somerville, N. J., where he played football and baseball three years. He was a football varsity man four years (two years at tackle and two years at end) and three-year baseball (pitcher) varsity man at Lincoln University. When in college he was coached by Lester Pollard and Heinie Bullock, both of Dav�smouth. He coached Somerville High School football team in 1917; coached North Carolina State Normal School (Elizabeth City) football team in 1919 and 1920. He coached St. Paul's head coach from 1921 to 1925, inclusive. He was a teammate of Paul Robeson in high school. His record for wertible sportsmanship is equal to any and surpassed by none. He is a member of the Omega Psi Phi and Masonic Fraternities. Mr. Douglas is a graduate of Lincoln (A. B.) and Columbia (M. A.) Universities. He is dean of the Normal School of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Va. The shreik of the referee's whistle, the dull thud of the kickoff and the game is on! The strain of tns, silent anticipation gives way to a roar of applause as the ELKS TO STAGE GALA MOVIE BALL OCT 11 Sponsored by L. B. P. O, Elks a gala movie ball will be held in Norfolk Monday night, October 11th. Giant Klieg lights stations in various parts of the Phyllis Wheatley Garden will flood the floor with lights and at the same time add to the beauty of the festival. These lights which are necessary in the filming of the scenes, while giving noonday brilliancy to the ballroom lend a lustro more like moonlight than glaring sunlight to the scene which adds to the beauty of the background on the screen. The directors who are well versed in the effects obtained by the manipulation of lights will take full advantage of the occasion to make the Elks Movie Ball stand out and in which the dancers will whirl to the rhythmic beat of the Excelsior Band. Long distance shots and close-ups will be taken of both the dancers and prize winners, which will be shown when the entire reel is assembled and screened at the Manhattan Theatre, entire week of October 18. Nothing will be left undone by the sponsors to make the ball the most novel. A speechnic commentator, O J Gilliam calleduler, will look after the arrangements, including the distribution of tickets and valuable prizes will be given the young lady selling the greatest number. There will also be prizes for the best dancers. Grasty Only Vet In the Lion Camp Lincoln Univ., Sept. 30—Presented with the most formidable schedule that has ever been prepared for any Lincoln team, and with only one member, Captain Grasty of last year's team, returning to Lincoln, Coach "Lissy" Young has started on the Herrean team of trying to develop a group of unknown cubs into a strong fighting machine of Lions. Despite the hard task before him and the handicap of only one man as a nucleus, Coach Young and his assistants, "Doc" Martin, and "Berry" Walls, are not in the east discouraged. The cry which Duskegee is broadcasting of "Beat Lincoln" is "spiriting them on with a determination to turn out the greatest Lincoln team. kick-off with the best material available. Eight veterans from last year will form the nucleus of the team, while three members of last season's unusually strong B combination will round out the varsity. Last year Virginia Seminary beat St. Paul 20 to 3. Nine veterans from last year's Virginia Seminary team will be in the lineup that opposes St. Paul Saturday. Coached by Edward Hurt, former Howard University star under the celebrated Morrison system, the Dragons are known as one of the most aggressive teams in collegiate circles. Report from western Virginia are that Virginia Seminary has its of the strongest teams in its history. St. E. Nelson, L. T., Coleman, L. G. Williams; C. Boykins; R. G. Oliver; R. T.

What game is this which seems so rude and primitive, where men delight in seizing and hurling their opponents to the ground? It is football, the object of the attack and criticism of reformers, spinsters and overanxious parents; football, the game that attracts a larger number of higher type of spectators than any other activity; football, the game of men and the king of college sports. Baseball, the national game of America, thrives on popularity. Ten thousand is but a handful when favorite nines meet in our large league parks. But what say we when scores of thousands sit through whirling snow or pouring rain to cheer their eleven up and down a muddy gridiron? Or when one hundred thousand undergraduates and alumni frantically follow every play of their struggling warriors? Various games spring up over night like mushrooms, hardside and softness off the field of human activity. But football has stood the test of centuries and, in spite of all unfavorable criticism and adversities, it will continue to call to its ranks an ever increasing number of adherents. (Continued next week) A barber who bobs up at the right time is the story of Adoph Menjon in his new Paramount picture, "A Social Celebrity" playing at the Attucks Monday and Tuesday. The picture is from the story of Monte Katterjohn and was written for the screen by Pierre Collings. Menjon becomes tired, sick and disgusted as a barber in his father's shop in their home town. Finally meets a New York society woman who advises him to go to the bar where she assures him he will do much better than in a stuffy small town torsional parlor. He accepts her advice and goes to the big city where action develops thick and fast. He falls in of course. BY POPULAR DEMAND By popular demand, Lon Chaney in "Phantom of the Opera," that play which is a milestone in motion picture history, will return for a one day engagement Wednesday, October 6. There is little need of elaboration on the qualities of this show. It is plainly evidenced by a request of the patronage for a return engagement in a very short while after the show left this city. "Phantom of the Opera" was here last May and played before a packed house the entire three days it was run. "THE RUNAWAY" Thursday and Friday brings "The Runaway," Clara Bow, Warner Baxter, George Bancroft and William Powell. It is another Paramount picture adapted from 1st story by Charles Newick Buck, written for the screen by Albert Shelby LeVino. The story centers around a girl driven by fear of letting in her home in the city. She flees to the hills in Kentucky, where she became a point of controversy between two range dogs, whom she had to choose between her lover in the city and these two backwoods mountaineers who had given her all manner of protection—but you should see the picture. THE ACTION QUEEN AGAIN Evelyn Brent, the little action queen, comes again in another big picture which is full of action from scene to scene. When you say, "I love you," the action queen feeds her and plenty of it is in one of her latest pictures, "The Jade Cup." American ice cream was sold on the streets of Shanghai during the prolonged hot spell last summer. Tiger A and B Teams Stage Tough Game Lawrenceville, Va., Sept. 30. The faculty, six hundred students and many local folks saw St. Paul's A and B. teams stage one of the most gruelling contests ever witnessed on Russell Field between 44 upper clauses fighting for varsity births. The B. team met the furious and variegated onslaught of the A combination effectively and confidently and they held their compatriots 3-3 until the miraculous happened in the final frame—a touchdown. The game ended with the score 9 to 3 in favor of the A. hyde. The boys showed up splendidly and the Tiger supporters are clated over the condition and calibre of the "wonder team." While coaches Taylor and Maddu are reticent, their physiognomies are indicative of entire satisfaction. Secret practice is next week's menu. 'Bama Prepares For Georgia (By Associated Negro Press) Montgomery, Ala., Oct 1—The Alabama State Normal "footballers" completed a good second week of practice here last week preparatory to their opening game on October 1, with the Georgia Normal Eleven of Albany. Twenty men had reported for the preschool practice on September 13th and the squad was double das a result of the entrees this week. Windsor Wins By 29-1 Windsor, N. C., Sept. 30—Windsor Red Sox severally drubbed the Mary Hill Club to the tune of 29-1 in a one-sided affair which lasted only five innings. This was the fifth victory of the Red Sox over Mary Hill. V.N.I.I.SHOWING FORM FOR FIRST GAME OF SEASON Petersburg, Va., Sept. 30—Prospects seem bright at Vn. N. Foley and his staff are losing no time in putting all available men into shape. About 60 candidates are out for the team and competition is keen for each position. It is likely that several of last year's letter men will have to hustle in order to be among the select few. Fourteen men are out for end and some show up exceptionally well. The first game is with North Carolina State on October 9th, at Petersburg; then the Orange and Blue tackle the Virginia Seminary eleven at Lynchburg on October 16th, Hampton and Shaw come to Petersburg on the 23 and 30 of October respectively and St. Paul on Thanksgiving Day. Union and Petersburg in Richmond on Nov. 13, and on November 20, A. and T. Greensboro, J. C. Smith and Petersburg play an annual game in Roanoke on the first Saturday in November, the 6th.

TUSKEGEE AND INFANTRY GAME WAS CANCELED Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 20—Tuskegee's failure to get underway on September 25 was due to the fact that the 24th infantry of Fort Bering, Georgia, cancelled all of their Southeastern Intercollegiate games. It will not be possible, therefore, for the Crimson coach to get a line on his men until the opening game with Knoxville College at Tuskegee, October 2nd. The Tennessee institution has a fast team and will endeavor to dethrone the Cadets, present holders of the championship honors of the Southernestern circuit. Coach Carl Moore, in a recent interview said: "My men have adopted as their slogan 'Trounce Tuskegee' and I am putting forth every effort to condition the team for one of its hardest gridron battles. We realize the strength of the Crimson team and know something of its tremendous driving power; we have heard of the 'mystery man' and know considerable of the work of the Shifty Stevenson, but we are building an attack that will be as effective as that of the much-talked Alabama team; Captain Kitchen, the leader of the Crimson team, remarked as he entried the clubhouse today, after one of the hardest practices of the season: "Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to hand back to Tuskegee Institute its goals uncropped." N. C. College Well On Way For Oct. 1 Durham, N. C., Sept. 30—Coach Eagleson of the North Carolina State College is whipping his men into shape and the prospects are that N. C. State will have one of the strongest teams in this section. The early scrimmages were light, but the mixup the past few days showed was not indications are that the game between the N. C. State boys and Claflin, Oct 1, at Orangeburg, will be worth going many miles to see.

Wien any American refuses to grant to others the same privileges that he enjoys, he violates the spirit which actuated our ances- tors in the formation of this gov- ernment. “tell you the time has come when the Virginia Bill of Rights and the amendments to the Con- Htitution of the United States should be read anew by every citi zen with the determination _.to make the principles contained therein a part of his being and to work to get other citizens to rec- ognize them as the guiding politi. eal principles of their lives.

SOUTHERN AID INVITES PUBLIC FOR INSPECTION As usual, the Southern Aid Society of Va. Inc. is demonstrating progressiveness and consideration for the standing of our group in the eyes of the world. The Society has just completed extensive remodeling of the Norfolk, Virginia District Office building, 526-28 E. Brambleton avenue, and the Society and the tenants are extending an invitation to the public to look over the building. The Society, also, ever mindful of the importance of a creditable showing of our group to the critical eyes of the public, has installed a booth in the Negro Exhibit, Palace of Agriculture, at the Sesqui-centennial International Exposition, Philadelphia, Pa. This exhibit is a reproduction of a scene which takes place at the offices of the Society daily. It depicts a widow receiving a check for $500 from the cashier. As the figures are very lifelike and appropriately costumed, and the setting of the interior of the booth is such a characteristic reproduction of a modern office, it is conceded by everyone who visits the exhibit, to be the most realistic and pleasing scene in this section of the exposition. Since representative people from all parts of the world have, and will visit the exhibit, this booth, representing the enterprise of this corporation, will have a telling effect for good among thousands of visitors to the exposition as to progress of our people in business pursuits. All persons visiting the exposition should make it a point to see the booth of the Society. District Staff The Norfolk District Staff of the Society has contributed much toward the progress of the Society, and has recently demonstrated anew its leadership in writing new business. The Norfolk staff has successfully contended with Richmond, Washington, Newport News, Portmouth, Hampton and Suffolk, and will begin on Monday, October 4, 1926, a new contest against Danville, Charlottesville, Roanoke and Lynchburg. As the Norfolk staff has never lost a contest, it is determined not to lose its position and honors in the coming contest. Quality Built CHI The Chrysler plan of Quality standardization differs from, and is superior to, ordinary manufacturing practice and methods, because it demands fixed and inflexible quality standards which enforce the same scrupulously close limits—the same rigid rule of engineering exactness—the same absolute accuracy and precision of alignment and assemblage—in the measurement, the machining and the manufacturing of every part, practice and process in four lines of Chrysler cars—"50", "60", "70" and Imperial "80". R. G. ED 500 Granby S Unprecedented Distribution Of Money And Prizes In The "Everybody Wins" Contest Unprecedented Distribution Of Money And Prizes In The "Everybody Wins" Contest (Continued from Page One) nation counts for votes right at the start, if you do not wish to nominate a friend and help him or her to win one of the big prizes. It costs nothing to become a candidate or to secure even the biggest of the prizes, one of the latest model, most popular automobiles made. You are not bound by any specific requirements, other than those named in the big announcement on page seven, and it is not required that you be a subscriber or regular reader of the Journal and Guide. You can devote just as much or as little of your spare time as you wish to the pleasant pastime of collecting votes, with the assurance that you will be well paid by the Journal and Guide with a handsome prize and of cash. You simply cannot lose—EVERYEODY WINS". The prizes are almost fabulously valuable considering the extreme shortness of the time in which they will be distributed. Imagine securing a prize which would cost you more than $1300 in cash to buy, in a few days pleasant effort of vote getting. And that is all you have to do—simply gather in the votes. When you get started the votes pile up at an amazing rate. But one of the biggest features of all in this Grand Prize Distribution is the fact that there will be no losers, as a cash commission of ten percent will be paid to all active non-prize winners, which in itself is an excellent proposition. In shot the Journal and Guide will award its friends very liberally indeed for their assistance in introducing this paper into more homes in this town, county and country, instead of employing out- Branch Office, is composed of the following representatives men and women: Mr. S.

How city Stand builds Long IRYSI LONG life is the fruit of Chrysler's standardization of quality—the planned result of an engineering and manufacturing precision which, in its all-embracing scope, is new to the motor car industry. Where ordinary engineering is satisfied with the customary margins of safety, Chrysler engineering has provided lighter alloy steels tested under stresses thousands of pounds greater than they will ever be called upon to meet. Where ordinary manufacture is usually content with limits of a thousandth of an inch, Chrysler "70" craftsmanship painstakingly calibrates in tenthousandths. Therefore, it has only been logical that not only Chrysler DGERTON DISTRICT Street Norfolk side solicitors at fancy salaries to accomplish the results. Short Campaign This campaign will not be a long drawn out affair of several months duration, but extends over a period of only a few weeks, closing Saturday night, November 27. Just in time to be riding your dandy automobile for Christmas or having a big cash prize for your Christmas spending change. Think of being able to secure in eight short weeks prizes and awards that would ordinarily require months, yes, even years of self-denial and saving to acquire. These fine awards will be distributed in exchange for your spare time and interest in helping to enlarge our subscription list. This prize election will be more interesting than ever any undertaking in this section or by any paper anywhere. The prizes are not only rich in dollars and cents value, but are in keeping with the broad and liberal policy along which the whole Grand Prize Distribution is drawn. Ambition and energy are the only requisites for success in it. There is little required of you to win out in the Journal and Guide's second "Everybody Wine" Campaign. All that you have to do is to ask your friends to save their votes for you when they pay up a subscription to the Journal and Guide. The main thing necessary for you to win is to let your friends know that you are in to win and that you want their votes. In Justice to Mr. RobertHaggans To the end that Mr. Robert Haggans may not be placed in the wrong light and that no embarrassment may attend himself and family as the result of an article which recently appeared in this paper, the Journal and Guide admits that it was in error in stating that Mr. Haggans kidnapped his own son, as in a strictly legal sense a man cannot kidnap his own child.

We are eager to demonstrate these Chrysler "70" superiorities.

Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, one of the foremost lawyers before the Virginia bar, delivered a brilliant 30-minute address on "Shall the Christian Religion Survive?" at Second Calvary Baptist Church Sunday night. Mr. Newsome, who was introduced by P. B. Young, editor of the Journal and Guide, as one of the foremost lawyers and Baptist layman of the country, outlined the origin and history of the Christian religion and defined Christian ethics with the same sort of eloquence and logic that has gained for him a place of eminence in his profession. The address was received with unusual interest by his auditors who later commented upon it as being one of the best lay speeches on Christianity and the Church heard here in some time. to this paper is untrue and not in accordance with the facts. He says he wrote his wife that he would not keep little Robert, their son, from her but a few days and that she has letters to that effect. He also declares that his wife was not compelled to go to work, that he did not desert her, neither did he commit any wrong whatsoever against her. His actions in the matter, he asserts, were prompted solely by misfortune such as any man is liable to meet. Mr. Haggans affirms his love for his wife and stands ready, he declares, to do anything for her that she will permit him to do. The Journal and Guide regrets very much the publicity given the disappearance of Robert Haggans jr., and is pleased to report the happy outcome of the affair where both the parents are concerned.

W. had been no estrangement between them. Mr. Dudley spoke up and said, "Des," don't cry, sit up and let us talk'. "I then told Mr. Dudley that I had brought Mrs. Dudley to him because I felt she was about to do herself bodily harm. If I have done any good in doing so, I am very happy. "Mr. Dudley replied that he was very grateful to me for bringing Mrs. Dudley to him because he did not want anything to happen to her. "I excused myself. They talked about twenty-five minutes. Mr. Dudley called me and again thanked me for what I had done. Mrs. Dudley had two dogs with her. She gave the dogs to Mr. Dudley and got in Mr. Dudley's ear and drove away. "Thursday morning Mrs. Dudley came by my place and told me that she was going to Atlantic City that night and that she was very happy because she had had the opportunity to go over everything with her husband and that she was deeply grateful to me for interceding in her behalf. "I received a telegram from Mrs. Dudley on Friday evening saying, 'Everything is all right. Am expecting Mr. Dudley Saturday night. Will see you soon.'" "On Sunday night a man and his wife came to see me and begged me to get in touch with Mr. Dudley, saying that Davis had told them that he intended to kill both Mr. and Mrs. Dudley and that Davis had already gone to Atlantic City. "There was no way for me to reach Mr. Dudley in Atlantic City, but at 8 o'clock on the morning of the fatal shooting, I telephoned the Dudley apartment. There was no answer. I called Miss Regina Williams, who occupies an apartment across the hall and asked her if she had seen Mr. and Mrs. Dudley. Her reply was, 'Yes, they are in Mr. Dudley's apartment.' The thought came to me that having just become reconciled and having journeyed from Atlantic City, they were tired and did not want to be disturbed. I decided to telephone Mr. Dudley about 12 o'clock and warn him of Davis' threats." Shot Tuesday Morning At 10:50 Tuesday morning, September 21, Davis shot Mrs. Dudley five times and then attempted to end his life by shooting himself through the right temple. Mrs. Dudley had just informed Davis that she would have nothing more to do with him. That was in keeping with her promise to him. Mr. Maxell says, that if he brought about a reconciliation, she would remain faithful to her husband. Davis is in the Freedmen's hospital recuperating from the bullet wound which he inflicted in an attempt to commit suicide. He is able to walk around. As soon as his condition improves sufficiently, he will face a coroner's jury and the legal machinery will be set in motion to send him to the electric chair or life imprisonment. Mrs. Dudley was buried last Friday morning. The funeral services were held in the funeral parlor of the undertaking establishment of Dr. Robert Grayson McGuire. They were stricly private, no one attending but relatives and immediate friends. The Rev. H. B. Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, officiated. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery. The pall bearers were Benjamin L. Gaskins, Clifford T. Taylor, Joseph H. Maxwell, Lloyd Wyck's, Bart Kenner and Frank Anderson.

PART TWO North Carolina News Editorial Page ts Second paign ov.27th How To Enter And Win The first step in order to share in this mammoth distribution of costly awards is to clip the nomination blank appearing on page one of this issue and send or bring it to campaign headquarters, The Journal and Guide, 711 East Ohey Road, Norfolk, Va. The Nomination Blank entitles you or the person nominated to five thousand votes. Then you will be given a FREE outfit consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of the paper and full information relative to the campaign as well as assistance that will help you win one of the automobiles or one of the grand prizes. It requires VOTES to win and VOTES are secured in two ways—first by clipping out the FREE 100 VOTE COUPONS which will appear in each issue of the Journal and Guide. Very soon, however, these voting coupons will be reduced to a lesser number of votes and they must be voted before the expiration date appearing thereon, but the other and faster way to get votes is by getting your friends to pay you for subscriptions to this paper. Old or renewal subscriptions count as many votes as new subscriptions but you will notice THAT MORE VOTES ARE GIVEN FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TURNED IN MOW THAN LATER. (See schedule for votes below.) So you see that the more subscriptions you secure and the quicker you get them the better your chances will be to land a dandy new automobile. Then too, the first in the field will get the cream of the votes and the subscriptions while who put off entering will have to take what is left. Be sure that your nomination is in RIGHT AWAY. Questions And Answers Question—What is the first thing to do in order to enter the Campaign and become eligible to win one of the automobiles or other prizes? Answer—The first thing to do is to clip the nomination blank appearing on Page One. Bring or mail this entry blank to the Journal and Guide office and you are given five thousand FREE votes as a starter. Question—Does it cost anything to enter the Campaign? Answer—There is no cost whatever in connection with becoming a candidate in the $3500 Everybody Wins Campaign now or at any time. Question—Since your announcement says that the brand new automobiles and the other prizes are to be given in exchange for votes, how are the votes obtained and what is the best way to get them? Answer—Votes are secured in two ways. First by clipping out the Free Voting Coupons that appear in every issue of The Journal and Guide or have your friends save them and cast them to your credit. The other and faster way to secure votes is by getting your friends to give you their subscriptions to this paper. A certain number of votes are given for each subscription (as you see in the subscription is secured. The best way to get votes is the latter method. You thereby get more results for your spare time efforts, however, all the FREE VOTE COUFONS count also. Get as many of them as you can. Question—Does it make any difference whether the subscriptions I secure are from old or new subscribers? Answer—Vote credit allowed on subscriptions from new or old subscribers is exactly the same. Question—Where may I solicit subscriptions? Answer—Anywhere in the United States. Question—When is the best time to start my campaign? Answer—RIGHT NOW at the beginning of the Campaign is the best time to start for two reasons. First, subscriptions are much easier to get now than at any other time as the field will not have been "ombed." Second, the vote schedule is so arranged that those who make the early start get more for everything they do as the vote schedule printed on this page clearly shows. Question—Have I the privilege of nominating myself or must my nomination be sent in by another person? Answer—You may nominate yourself. It is not necessary that your nomination be sent in by another person. Question—What do you mean by your announcement that Everybody Wins? Answer—This means that every active candidate will be paid in proportion to the amount of spare time devoted. To those active candidates who make a weekly cash report and who do not win one of the principal grand prizes a prize in cash or a commission of ten per cent will be paid on all subscriptions turned in. Hence Everybody Wins—there are no losers.

The greatest event ever happened in West Norfolk occurred, Sept. 15, when the doors of the new public school were opened at 8:30 a.m. to welcome the anxious crowd of young minds who had waited for just such a greeting. For more than thirty years the people of West Norfolk have needed a school and for more than twenty years they have been laboring under unfavorable conditions to obtain a building. The struggle has been long and hard. Many who started out grew weary and failed by the way side. The faithful few kept up. The advice of D. S. White who came up with charge of his new jobs just about a year ago started toward the goal and in a brief months the almost impossible task was accomplished he and now, standing out like a beacon light in the most desirable spot in West Norfolk is one of the most modern school buildings in the state of Virginia. With M. L. Munroe principal and led by teachers the work is moving on like clock work. Too much praise cannot be given those who struggled so long for this cause.

NEWS OF THE CHURCHES orship, but great stiles have been made in matters: religious. He found a membership in January, 1916, of 121. Today there is a membership of 750. Fifteen more are now receiving instruction and preparing for reception into full membership at the next baptism. His personal life among us has been without reproach and lived under the strict vows of Josephite Fathers with whom he is connected. Each day with him is life lived as a saint. His days begins at 5:30 a.m. m. with a half hour of prayer and meditation. No matter how heavy the duties of the day, two solid hours are spent in the fellowship of prayer. All this is not by any means done on the street corners or for the reputation of being holy, but to secure the needed grace of Christ for living up to his Josephite vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. He receives a monthly salary of one dollar, plus food; clothes and a place to stay. Worthy of Emulation Worthy or Emulation "Such a man is Christianity's best apologetic. His devotion to Christ does not stop at acts of piety but project itself into his racial identity. He has endured the vows of the Society of St Joseph to spend his entire lifetime in the evangelization of the colored race. His recent kidnapping by a hooded mob of twenty-eight men grew out of his known friendliness to an oppressed and underprivileged group. Which very fact brings out how fine a representative he is in the religion of love for God and love for fellowman which Christ gave his life to implant. His example in good works and holy life is worthy of our emulation." Bishop Caldwell Bishop J. Sr. Cardwell, D. D., of Philadelphia, will presach at Wesley University Union A.

So deed the Rev. Richard H. B. Howlin in concluding a very informational on "Father Warren" on Sunday night. It will be remembered that this distinguished man of the Roman Catholic church was set upon by a band flooded men down in Princess County a few weeks ago. It also well known that there are very critics of his works and rejoice among certain colored assistants. As if to silence all the speaker dealt in a very matter of fact way with the little record made by the Rev. D. Warren at S. Joseph's past ten years. Nods: Said he, "Pather Warren is meet many of colored Norfolk's united school enrollment of 875, a teacher of ten colored and eight Franciscan teachers. This has grown to these proportions because of the overcrowding of the city schools for colored children and the utter lack of public provision for colored kindergarten."

There will appear at different times in the action old folks, married folks, children, babies, wedding principals, a dentist, two physicians, a minister, a banker, a realtor, an insurance agent, a slanderer, an sheik.

Automobiles will be sent for as many of the sick and aged of the community as care to come. The only requirement is that their names and addresses be brought or mailed to the church office no later than Sunday morning at ten thirty. Aside from the annual Home-Coming Day Sermon by the pastor, there will be brief addresses by Miss Bertha B. Jones, J. Mattson and H. Ivory Clark. Miss Julia Webster will sing a solo. The combined mixed choir and male chorus will furnish music at each service, and there will be a number of solos and other musical numbers at night. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Bolling Brook) Excellent services began with the Sunday school at this church last Sunday. At all of the preaching services the pulpit was filled by the pastor, Rev. E. T. Kee. At night he preached a special sermon to the missionaries and a very good collection was raised. Mrs. Rebecca Williams has returned to her home in Filbert St., after visiting relatives in Surry county, and her sister, Mrs. Hunt, of Surry, is spending some time here with her. FIRST H. P. CHURCH Last Sabbath was Communion Sabbath at the First United Presbyterian Church and after a sermon by the pastor which was a review of the fundamentals of our faith, some sixty partook of the Lord's Supper. The service was quiet and touching. The audience remained in silent prayer after the benediction was pronounced. At the close of this service the Women's Missionary Society was re-organized with Mrs. B. Evans as secretary; Mrs. Rachel Mcleary secretary; Mrs. Alicen Diggs, treasurer; Mrs. Jennie Wilson, vice president and Miss Fannie Jones, assistant secretary. The funeral of Mr. James Amfield was held at the church at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Amfield was a member of the church for a number of years. BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH "Choosing the Hard Task," was the subject of a sermon by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Watkins, at Bank Street Church, Sunday morning. Throughout the discourse the speaker stressed the fact that hard tasks appealed to the strong, red-blooded man, and that those fighting under the banner of Jehovah must expect to encounter difficulties on the way. The Bible abounds with examples whom God had picked to do the hard task in welcoming the world from him. It is so today. The task of redeeming the world is not an easy one and is for those who will choose the hard task if world redemption is to be a fact accomplished. In the evening, a large congregation assembled to hear Dr. Watkins preach on "Moses Leading the Children of Israel to the Promised Land." On next Sunday, Dr. Watkins will preach a special sermon on the subject: "Renewing The First Love." MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH On last Sunday the services at Mt. Lebanon were excellent in every way. The early morning prayer meeting was very uplifting. The Sunday school convened at its regular hour with most of the teachers and scholars present. The adult class won the collection banner. At 11:30 the pastor preached on the Third Commandment what was admitted to have been a very inspiring as well as instructive sermon. At 3 o'clock the society of the Children of Israel held services at this church. The B. Y. P. U. rendered a very delightful program at 6 o'clock. At night the Mohawk Lodge held its fifteenth anniversary exercises at this church; the pastor preaching the annual sermon. The day closed with three additions to the membership. At the morning services on Sunday, October 3, the pastor J. B. H. REV. J. R: CUSTINS, foimar principal of the Fourth Ward public school, of this city, and for a number of years a pastor in this locality, who is now pastoring the People's Baptist Church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has been accorded the honor of being unanimously elected for the second time, clerk of the Portsmouth, N. H.; Association. The Portsmouth Association represents a federation of eighteen churches and it noteworthy that this position of trust requires the handling of the funds and journal of the association, is accorded by its members to a colored minister, because of their confidence in and esteem of him. Dr. Custis is pastor of the one and only colored church in the State of New Hampshire, and of course must stand as a representative of his race in its moral, intellectual and spiritual development in this new England center. He has wonderfully built up the work and has established an idea that is unexcelled and a valuable asset to his community, according to authentic reports reaching the Journal and Guide. He will preach on the Fourth Commandment. Holy Communion will be administered at night. REV. J. R. ASKEW RETURNS FROM CONDUCTING REVIVAL Rev. J. R. Askew, evangelist of this city, has just returned from Newswons, Va., where for the second time recently he has conducted a revival. This meeting, which he has just closed, was conducted at Mt. Tabar Baptist Church and was marked with such success, there being 15 converts. The former meeting was conducted at Zion Hill A. M. E. Church where there were seven convents. Rev. Askew's forceful sermons are said to have drawn large crowds to both churches. Since returning to the city, the evangelist has addressed the Douglass Literary Society at the Douglass Hall on O'Keefe street, making a strong impression.

Farmer Sarratt's Record The ability of W. R. Saratt, of Cherokee, S. C., to produce the season's first bale of cotton in his section both last year and this, not only sets a record from which Saratt himself may derive a just pride but is indicative of scientific methods of farming from which the other farmers of his neighborhood and the whole South for that matter, may draw a valuable lesson. The story of this Negro farmers's success is biologically summarized in an article published in the Spirit of the Press Column of this paper. It shows that his getting the first bale of cotton to the gin from his community for two consecutive years was no circumstance of mere good luck, but a fact incident to the other successes he hins made through the application of studied and approved methods of soil cultivation, business methods to the conduct of farming and scientific methods of marketing. Sarratt's record proves conclusively that if young colored men of the South, particularly those who have lived close to the soil all of their lives and may be especially adapted for farm life, will take advantage of agricultural training now available in approved schools and from state and national farm extension service, then choose for themselves a career as farmers with the ultimate aim of ownership, they have more than an even chance to secure a sure economic independence and to contribute inestimably to the economic solidarity of their race. Our farmers who may be on the verge of despair and are contemplating a shift from the fields to the factory should study Sarratt's record, learn his methods and gain renewed inspiration therefrom. A success similar to the one he has achieved can be achieved by hundreds of other farmers throughout the South. Notwithstanding the allurement held out for the skilled and unskilled laborer in the great industrial centers, farming still is and always will remain a basic industry to which the trained, industrious and prudent agriculturist may anchor himself with the assurance that almost certain independence awaits him. No Negro with the proper adaptability should hesitate to prepare himself for a career on the farm. It is the one opportunity in which he will be free to climb the heights. Competition cannot throttle him. It is one outstanding opportunity which the American Negro should strive to grasp. And grasping it will root him immovably in his country's economic fabric. Our Cooks And Waiters To Educate The first annual convention of the National Association of Colored Waiters and Cooks which met in Chicago the middle of September got less whooping-up than the most of our numerous national gatherings of the past summer got, but it is doubtful if we had a convention of greater import than the meeting of the waiters and cooks. In the past two decades we have had to witness with a sort of mixed feeling of uneasiness and just plain indifference our race gradually but steadily losing its hold on the domestic labor field in which it has held undisputed mastery from the days of the founding of the nation. Our loosening grip upon this field has accompanied our increasing educational ratio. In fact the cause for it is in a large measure traceable directly to our educational expansion, we having in the past thirty years experienced a wave of educational enthusiasm, which though bringing to us incalculable benefit, precluded our interpretation of education in accord with practicalities. We are now getting on surer ground, however. We are coming to understand that education is not necessarily aimed to bring about a physical emancipation of the masses from the labor of the world, but to bring to them a mental and spiritual emancipation which will lend to labor a training and philosophy that will elevate and dignify it unto man's happiness and his Creator's glory. There is no other phase in the life of our race that has come to exact of us more in- exorciably the price of eternal vigilance than the privilege of holding our grip on the jobs we have and making ceaseless inroads on those hitherto closed to us. Our every hope of economic advancement, even survival, depends on our capacity to compete successfully with the heterogeneous elements on America's labor mart. For us the battle to labor in every avenue of compensatory service must be as ceaseless as the days and nights. The Colored waiters and cooks have handed themsls into a national organization for the purpose, as declared at their convention, of inspiring its members to improve their service and comport themselves so as to enlarge their field. They are determined to recover much of their lost ground and to conquer new worlds with education and fitness as the new weapons. "You have your own future in your hands," they were told by Frank Gregson, white, manager of the Southern Zone of the American Hotels Corporation, who is a Southerner, and who said the definite purpose of the group of 27 hotels he represented was to give the United States the best hotel service possible and that their established policy was to use Negro cooks and waiters. Juan Miller, Maitre 'd, of one of Chicago's finest hotels told the men: "There is just one thing I wish to see this organization do. Make it educative. Keep on training and improving. Be the best in the profession. It takes a man of ability, personality and skill to be a waiter. Take pride in your profession and by improving the standard of the colored waiter in the country you will cause the doors of America's finest hotels to swing open."

Klan Revealed In the preachment which accompanied the presentation of an American flag to William and Mary College by klansman last Sunday, Imperial Wizard Evans touched lightly upon "tolerance," "religious freedom," and adherence to the principles upon which the nation was founded, as if awed by the intellectual atmosphere in which he and his cohorts stood, but with a self-assurance that was matched only by the credulity of those who made the pilgrimage to Williamsburg to add moral support to the Americanization of America's second oldest college, he discoursed at length upon how to deal with the Negro. "The subservient race should not be looked upon with hatred." "Even though they are not as capable as you are, you should not deny them the opportunities to do that which they are capable of performing," Decrying hatred and foenting misunderstanding and hatred in the same breath. Discoursing upon lynching: "They kill them by the hundreds up there, (in the North) while the South kills them only one at a time." (There have been 2779 lynched in the South since 1889. Only 71 in the North, East and West.) Taking credit for the apparent decrease in lynchings in recent years: "Lynchings have decreased one-third since the establishment in 1921 of the ku klux klan." He did not mention that kidnapings and floggings have increased threefold. Further: "Let's make the condition of the other race as happy as possible without crossing the boundary line of social equality." This modern "Sermon on the Mount" deftly encased in an American flag and delivered to venerable William and Mary, whose record and traditions are unsullied by any departure whatsoever from the cardinal principles of Americanism, justice or mercy, was received with courtesy but rebuked with a diplomatic sternness worthy of the college and of the able President Chandler. "I would to God that we really did practice Christian forbearance, love and charity towards each other, and that the constant accusations and counter accusations going on over this land could be blotted out of the thinking and attitude of so many citizens." Again: "It is contrary to the ideals of our government for one citizen to be constantly attributing sinister motives to another without foundation." And then: "I tell you the time has come when the Virginia Bill of Rights and the amendments to the Constitution of the United States should be read anew by every citizen with the determination to make the principles contained therein a part of his being and to work to get other citizens to recognize them as the guiding political principles of their lives. I wish that every man in America would, whenever he sees the flag, in reality resolve to stand by that for which the flag stands and to uphold the laws of the land." Sunday's exhibition revealed the klan. Stripped of gown and mask its Imperial spokesman prudently refrained from assailing the Catholic, the Jew and the foreigner. With a wonderful opportunity to live up to its advertised repugnance to these elements of our civilization he flunked. But he felt perfectly secure to train his guns upon the threadbare Negro question. That is one question upon which a klansman can usually talk with impunity, anywhere, at any time, but if his sense of perception is not unusually blunted Dr. Evans learned something Sunday of the distaste of cultured Virginians for irrelevant discussions. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Sounds Fishy First comes a terrific hurricane that devastates whole cities and turns the nation's winter playground into a vast stretch of wreckage, mud and death. With losses running into the millions, lives lost by the hundreds, and thousands injured, forlorn and homeless, one might suppose that the essential humanity might take possession and that the artificial lines of wealth, culture, and color would be temporarily at least, suspended, just as in the emergency of the great war winter playground into a vast stretch of wreckage, mud and death.

But to the contrary here comes a news dispatch which tells of white marines shooting two colored looters who return the fire. As a safeguard against two resisting colored criminals, so the naive account runs, the officials send into the colored quarter two whole companies of troops, sixty policemen with viot guns and twenty-fixe deputy sheriffs. Shades of Harry Wills, whom certain Nordic fight promoters declared was no match for Jack Dempssey. When did two colored men get so powerful as to require 285 armed men to handle them? Now comes a further news dispatch from the stricken area of the former "land of flowers." "The order," the word of plaudits announcing that every able-bodied man must work in clearing away the wreckage in Miami, "is expected to calm the Negroes, a score of whom caused troopers, police and deputy sheriffs considerable apprehension over race trouble Friday night." It is also stated in the same dispatch that said order follows closely upon "the earlier conscription of all Negro labor." And there, I think, is the secret of the whole trouble. While white Miamians were allowed to walk about viewing the wreckage and minding their own affairs, colored Miamians were conscripted to do the dirty work of gathering up dead bodies, moving heavy timbers, searching under weakened walls, and wading through muddy waters. Naturally, they rebelled. And so any news that comes from Florida purporting that Negroes are suddenly turning criminal, looting stores, robbing the dead, and resisting the forces of law and order sounds rather fishy to me. All of which reminds me of a story that has been going the rounds during the phenomenal expansion of Florida's magic city. Her colored people were not allowed to say Miami (Myami) when talking to the proud whites, but were forced to say Yo'ami (Your-ami).

Spirit of The Press Chandler And The Klan From the Virginia Digest Just at this time, when anonymous mohs in Virginia are taking advantage of that immunity accorded the ku klux klan, it seems strange indeed that J. A. G. Chandler, president of the College of William and Mary, oldest institution of its kind in America, should recognize the klan by consenting to accept an American flag to be presented by the Imperial Wizard. What possible benefit to the cause of education and good citizenship can be derived from the childish presentation and acceptance of a flag? And how incongruous for an institution owned by a lawfully constituted state to open its arms to an organization whose habits are extra-legal!

State Cherokee's first bale of cotton this season as last was produced by a Negro farmer, W. R. Sarratt, and Ed H. DeCamp's Gaffney Ledger says that neither Sarratt's priority in marketing cotton nor his general prosperity is accidental. He is industrious, prudent, forehanded; he is a year-in-year-out soil-builder. Sarratt was interviewed by The Ledger the other day: He lives on R. F. D. 1, near Concord Baptist church; is married; is the father of 11 children, all of whom are living except one; five of his children have married and set up for themselves; his wife is still living and helps him with his farm Cherokee's first bale of cotton this season as last was produced by a Negro farmer, W.

He owns 84 acres of land, and has a home which cost him $6,000, all of which is paid for; his home is equipped with a Delco lighting system. He paid $40 per acre for this land, which he purchased from the late William "Chris" Phillips. It was known as the Jim Allison place. It was "run down". By taking care of his terraces, deep plowing and rotation of crops, he has brought it up to a high state of cultivation. He has 40 acres in cotton and notwithstanding the dry weather calculates to get from 25 to 30 bales of cotton. Sarratt raises his own corn and wheat and oats and meat. He has bought no flour in four years and eats wheat bread all the time; he has bought no corn since before the World War. This year he was forced to buy some oats. He keeps one cow, two mules, a Fordson and a Ford touring car. He transacts his business through a Gaffney bank. He has had to borrow some money this year, but will be able to pay it back when it comes due, and hopes to have a surplus left to operate on next year. Some years ago Sarratt bought 92 acres from Dr. C. A. Jeffries. This he sold to Robert Manning at a profit. Discerning eyes will find much to read between the lines of that record: steadfastness, self-denial, a faculty for management, ability to look ahead far beyond immediacies.

Where the meadow lark and the thrush Sing morbidly life long day. A man and a shrub grow nuttily With a small black nut within Filled with meat both rich and sweet, They cill it the chinkinapin. When it's chinkinapinning time in old Va.! How my heart years to be there. To meet my old playmates who live in the wood. To see them once again in my prayer, To see them once again in my prayer, I'm just longing to go home. I want to retrace my footsteps Where. Where I want to see my old sweetheart And I want to see my kin. I want to view old Dixie Land Where grows the chinkinapin. We would play stringing beads like of old And play singing or win, Then would take those nice long strings Of coal chinkinapin. And give them to our dear sweet girls Who were seemingly as gild And have been I want to go back to old Virginia. I'm just longing to go home I want to retrace my footsteps Where in boyhood I used to run, I want to see the hurt And I want to see my kin I want to view old Dixie land Where grows the chinkapin. DAVID MURRAY BOOK CHAT Van Vechten's Book (By Associated Negro Press) Hubert Harrison, the shiny-vested, but erudite lecturer for the New York City board of education, has given Carl Van Vechten's novel of Negro life in Harlem, "Nigger Heaven" the most complete analysis it has so far received. He describes the novel as a "breach of the peace" by an author who "has been well and favorably known to Harlem's new and nocturnal aristocracy of 'brains' and booze." But Harrison is not alone in this latest work of this society novelist. No colored reviewer, so far, has been able to swallow the work as a whole. Criticism ranges from lukewarm and apologetic agreement to downright denunciation, with the latter in the majority. The conservative editor of the New York Age is moved to remark that "The average reader of 'Nigger Heaven' . . . . . . is apt to murmur 'disgustedly' rotten, as he reaches the final chapter . . . . . ." The Washington Tribune advises that "The book is one to be read, if at all, by persons whose characters are fixed and matured, whose knowledge of human nature is rather more than local, and whose education and ethical standards are such that they may elbow gamblers, prostitutes, dope fiends, sudists and panders without danger of contamination." Harry Webber, writing in the Pittsburgh Courier, describes as the novel's gravest fault 'the usual employment of what is known as Negro dialect, but which is an absolutely untrue method of speech, never actually used by Negroes, but inevitably employed in literature about Negroes written by both colored and white." This writer also believes there are "faults of construction in the book, such as the rather stilted conversation at some points." Writers in the West, however, are the most vitriolic. The Chicago Whip soizes the opportunity to poke fun at the East. Its editor believes that Van Vechten, in his rounds of Harlem, saw little of the ordinary, substantial Negro. Bibb writes: "When the New York intellectuals of ours with their noses areched, twirling their canes, and peeping over their eye-lids, go searching for 'datah' they go down in the slums of Harlem to find it and then discuss their findings down in Greenwich Village amid sips of Russian tea and puffs of Turkish cigarettes with their elbows resting on table cloths designed in Cubist artistry. From what we can learn Van Vechten was always their guest of honor and it became a constant cry at every one of their social functions of: 'Here comes Van Vechten.'" Then this paragraph: "Van Vechten came and wrote and now we weep and groan. His characters in 'Nigger Heaven' were prostitutes, degenerates, drunkards and broken skin beauties intoxicated with love. We also found a weak-kneed college man who fell from his ambition of becoming a literateur to turn paramour and parasite. Here and there we find spasms of propaganda issuing from drunken throats or punctuated with songs of passion." Dewey Jones, in the *Chicago Defender*, describes the novel as "A Joke on Harlem," and continues: "Of all the books I have read on Race life in America by contemporary writers, 'Nig g e Heaven' easily takes its place at the bottom of the list. It is drivel pure and simple . . . 286 pages of lurid details about women's undergarments . . . slushy scenes in Harlem cabarets . . . grotesque character names . . . impossible dialect . . . and gener a confusion."

He lived to the moderate age of seventy-four, and quite fully completed his task. Professor Scarborough, perhaps, more than any other individual, living or dead, deserves to be styled—"the Negro scholar." His experience covers the entire period of Negro education, from the earliest missionary endeavors down to the present day. The product of the missionary schools, a one time student of Atlanta University, he was one of the early Negro graduates of Oberlin College. He owed a capacious and ambitious mind which made him the object of great admiration and encouragement on part of the friends and well wishers of the race in those early days. The pro-slavery propaganda asserted that the Negro did not possess a mind that could be enlightened according to the European standard of instruction. The institution of slavery was justified on the basis of the black man's incapacity. Why waste while developing the brain of the ox endowed by the Creator only with muscle to pull the plow? The anti-slavery advocates must vindicate their doctrine of human rights by proving that the Negro had human qualities. This was a large part of the motive that formed the main spring of Negro colleges and universities which sprang up all over the South immediately after the war. The college had been reserved for the choicest or most favored and fortunate youth of the white race. A curriculum based on culture was reserved for the aristocrats and Brahmin castes. This was most especially true of the South. The idea of a Negro studying Latin and Greek expressed the nth degree of absurdity. Howard, Fisk, Atlanta, Lincoln and Shaw were established to prove the impossible—and proved it. ```markdown ``` Not only was it necessary for Negro youth to demonstrate their culturable ability by comparisons among themselves, but they must needs to be thrown in comparison and competition with white youth to make the demonstration complete. Professor Scarborough was graduated from Oberlin in 1875, with high standing and special distinction in Greek. Richard T. Greener, of Harvard, and James M. Gregory of Howard and Wiley Lane of Amherst graduated in the early and middle seventies, with marked excellence in the classic languages. Scarborough alone maintained a sustained and completed career in the field of classic letters and literature. Indeed he stands almost, if not entirely alone, as the colored man who devoted his whole life to pure learning. Greener entered politics and public service. Gregory shifted to other and more practical forms of education. Lane was cut off in the midst of his early career. ★ ★ ★ I came from half to a third of a generation behind these celebrities in the field of pure scholarship. But I can remember when the Greek grammar was the most indispensable text book for every college man. When I entered Howard University, every applicant had to offer three years Latin and two years of Greek for admission to college. His whole four years college course was shot through with classic tongues. Practical or the vocational aspect of college education was then in the incipient stage of discussion. A man who did not know Latin and Greek was regarded as a heathen in scholarly circles. Science shortly began to edge its way into the curriculum, then the modern languages, and last of all, economics and social science. But scholastic honors were reserved for the classics. Quotation from Virgil, Horace, Homer and Sophocles, in the original tongues, adorned public speech and private conversation. All college men spoke a common language. Then came President Eliot and the elective system, which was as confusing as the building of the tower of Babel upon the language of the college world. Now the specialist in chemistry cannot understand or appreciate the speech of his classmate who specializes in economics. Latin and Greek are fast disappearing from college curricula. Greek has all but given up the ghost. Out of the several hundred courses offered by the college curricula of Howard University, not one is in the dead language of Greece. Immediately upon graduation, Professor Scarborough was made professor of Greek at Wilber- Giving a brief resume of the history of life of the late Prof. W. S. Scarborough, whom he refers to as having stood almost "if not entirely alone, as the colored man who devoted his whole life to pure learning." Dr. Kelly Miller asks and answers the query: "What is the function of the Nero scholar?" "He is to stand out before the world as an example of the Negro in his best cultural development," says Dr. Miller. "The Negro scholar must state the cause of his race and state his plea before the white world of learning that it will be compelled to give ear to his complaint," Dr. Miller adds. force, in which field he labored for practically the whole of his active life. For twelve years he served as president of Wilberforce from which he severed his relations near the close of his career. Professor Scarborough's success and conspicuous standing in the scholarly world has been a constant source of inspiration to more than a generation of Negro college students. He not only attained success as a class room teacher but by his wider outside scholarly contributions he served as a source of inspiration to his race. He was a creditable author of a textbook and other publications in the Greek language. Like all great educators, he did not confine himself to the class room limitations. No such pent up Utica shut in his powers. He was a frequent speaker and fluent writer on classics as well as upon social themes. This leads to the query—"what is the function of the Negro scholar?" The life and experience of Professor Scarborough, best answers this query. * * * * * 1. He is to stand out before the world as an example of the Negro in its best cultural development. Professor Scarborough was a scholar and a gentleman. He was regarded by the white race as a model of the Negro scholar working both for himself and for the race. 2. The Negro scholar must also implant in the minds of the youth of his race something of his own scholarly aims and ideals. No culture is worth while that does not tend to multiply and extend itself. A great What Editorials Are Good For What Editorials Are Good For From Montgomery Advertiser The purpose of an editor may not necessarily be to mould public sentiment but to arouse his readers to thought. If men and women can be induced to think, to study, then public sentiment will begin to crystallize, and soon they will be making progress toward the proper solution of the problems that confront them.—Columbus Enqaiver-Sun. Readers often say to an editor: "We like your ways of saying things, but we do not always agree with you." They should not always agree with an editor. They should not always agree with their preacher, their political leader, nor even with their doctor, for all of these may be wrong occasionally. If you agree with every editorial you read in a newspaper, you are not doing any thinking of your own. If you agree with every sermon by your pastor, every speech of your favorite political leader, and with the author of every book you read, they are doing your thinking. What should we demand of these who would instruct us and seek to influence our opinion. Should we demand of them that they employ their factual material in such a way as to conform to our own preconceived notions and prejudices? Assuredly not. We should demand of the writer that his information be reliably stated. We should demand sincerity, or intellectual honesty of him. We should demand of him that he write as clearly and entertainingly as his talents will permit. We should not demand of him that he reach the same conclusions that we do from an agreed set of facts and circumstances. That would be like demanding that he eat the same dishes we prefer, that he sleep on the same type of mattress that we prefer, that he dress as we dress, and that he shall take no step in life independently, but shall first ask our permission. Oh, how we humans enjoy our attempts to make others conform to our tastes, preferences and theories! If your editor succeeds in stimulating your mind with his editorial page, it is onough. He may not win you to his way of thinking, but he will be the means of impelling you to form a definite conclusion of your own in respect to the question under notice. By KELLY MILLER Negro scholar standing out in his isolated aloofness, without disciples, rivals or imitators, is of little service to his race. He speaks to the ambitions youth of his race in terms of the great teacher—"I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also." Otherwise there would be no need of the Negro scholar as such. The white man answers all of the general purposes of scholarship. But he cannot inspire Negro youth to imitate or to follow his example. 3. The Negro scholar must state the cause of his race and present his plea before the white world in such terms of learning and scholarship that it will be compelled to give ear to their complaints. In argumentation, presentation of data, in literature, art and music, he must convince the world that the Negro has the same intellectual moral and spiritual nature as other varieties of the human race, and that he has the same manhood needs as his fellowmen. A more passive scholarship, with no vital relations to the ends of life boots the Negro little of nothing at this stage. In those three-fold respects Professor Scarborough answered the ends of the Negro scholar. He was neither brilliant nor spectacular, but moderate and temperate in his very nature and movements of his mind. He was not a radical racial propagandist, but stood upright and down straight upon every fundamental issue. ★★★★ The educational world has been remade since Professor Scarborough began to function. He has been able to adjust himself to these rapid moving changes, while preserving the integrity of his chaste classic culture and Hellenic spirit. And now Professor Scarborough is dead. He was the product of a period which will never be repeated in the experience of the race. Present day conditions do not tend to reproduce his type. Culture, in itself, is at a discount. Pure scholarship buys no real estate. The highest good today is that which is good for something concrete and material. However this may be the race has had this one conspicuous example of the completed life of a Negro scholar.

The Reel World It is a far cry between the unreal stories of Fairyland and the reel stories of today, yet sometime ago I read an article by a woman writer condemning the telling of fairy tales to children on the grounds that it promoted a tendency in them toward untruthfulness. Yet the little girl of yesteryear was always willing to be the "Good Princess" and every lad a potential Jack-the-Giant-Killer, eager to go out and conquer the world for his mother. But the children of today ask for the latest movie story. Does not it make you pause to think that the movie machine is madding the minds of our youth? The early productions turned every neighborhood into Bronze Billies, who threatened our lives at every turn as they galloped away on imaginary steeds. And have you watched the effect of the screen on modern life until today we have shilis, shebias, and fappers. A world of youth eager for life, youth who are missing the simple beauties of childhood and see only the discipline as a thing to be endured. Have you never been to the movies with your little daughter and felt the hot blush of shame at the depicting of what the youngsters term "a heavy love scene" and have you thought that her quiet absorption may bespeak a sophistication beyond her years. And what is the answer? It is this, the women and the mothers of our race must make a standing for clean pictures. Mothers, think! every picture and story written by sensational authors, should first be reviewed by you. Most of the cheap literature is absolutely without moral. The flapper flaps her way through every wild orgy imaginable, and yet comes into her own with flying colors. And youth asks why not? then proceeds to the imitation. But you and I know that these stories are demoralizing and the laws of compensation are exacting. MRS. B. W.
