XXVI No. 42 SEGREGATION LAW TALK IN PORTSMOUTH Certain .Councilmen Favor Enactment Of Measure The City of Portsmouth would seek to get rid of unsightly residential buildings bordering on white neighborhoods by the enactment of an ordinance segregating the colored race if the suggestions of Councilman Dunford, and Councilman Mayo were to carry. At a public meeting of the City Council this week an animated discussion was precipitated over the necessity for and legality of such an ordinance, which some of the councilmen appeared to feel would make possible the removal or repair of buildings which desecrate the landscape. Councilman Dunford, it is stated, declared that Portsmouth is the only city of its size with no laws to keep colored people from moving into white residential districts, many instances of which, he claims, have occurred to the general depreciation of values in the section so entered. Previous Efforts Failed an effort made by the city several years ago to frame a practically segregation ordinance operating on the race proportion in each block was halted by the difficulty presented. City Attorney Barclay said to have explained. He also advised that attempts to enforce such segregation laws in several parts of the country had resulted in reversal by the Supreme Court. Councilman Mayo thought that the validity of such an ordinance might never be attacked. It is said that Councilman White explained that former City Manager Jerven had judged the question and concluded that no valid law could be passed to segregate colored from white people. He said the race question is a serious one that "must be worked out among ourselves." Source of Discussion The discussion of such an ordinance was precipitated by one of a delegation of the Robert E. L. Lee School League who had come to the council meeting to protest against a row of unsightly houses within the neighborhood of the school.

PORTERS One System Grants An Increase Of Over $20,000 A Year (By the Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., Oct. 12—More than three hundred train porters in service on the Southern Railway System were granted a wage increase and adjustment when working conditions recently improved, a general chairman of the Association of Train Porters, Brakemen and Switchmen and C. D. Mackay, assistant to vice president of the Southern Railway System. The increase in wages is on the step rate basis, and will cost the "carrier" more than $1,500 a month, or over $20,000 a year. The agreement, which is the only contract between any train porters today, in the United States is two years and thereafter until thirty days in writing from either party to the other of a decision to change. Controversies between the Association of Train Porters and the management of the Southern Railway System have occurred for more than a year, several conferences having been held. There was, however, a failure to agree as to what were just and reasonable wages. Working conditions were agreed on last October, but the wage question taken to the later States Railroad Labor Board, which was abolished after a decision was given. The case was then referred to the parties concerned with the suggestion that they make further efforts to effect a settlement. This is the first action toward the plans of more than 1,000 porters, employed on various roads throughout the country for a national wage increase, which will place on the payroll for porters approximately $125,000 more a year. ADOLPH HUMBLES DIES AT 80 YRS. Long And Useful Career Of Pominent Lynchburg Citizen Closes (By The Associated Negro Press) Lynchburg, Va.

Kills Old Soldier PASTOR TELLS OF SOJOURN IN BELGIUM Rev. Dr. O. J. Allen Gives Graphic Story Of Experiences American Negro delegates to the World's Conference on Missions recently held in Le Zoute, Belgium, succeeded in forcing recognition of Negro missionary activities in Africa as maintained by American groups from the world missionaries gathered at the conference, according to advices received exclusively by the Journal and Guide in a letter from Rev. Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, who was among the delegates. Foremost among those who had an active part in putting over the program of the conference as seen from the American Negro viewpoint, were Rev. Dr. A. A. Graham, corresponding secretary of the Lott Cary Foreign Mission Convention and a resident of Phoebus, Va. Dr. Allen himself and Bishops Clair, Gregg, Dvs. S. G. Atkins, J. E. East, John Hope, Olden, McCoy, Mr. Max Yergen and Mrs. Williams. Probably the greatest recognition and honors ever accorded a group of American Negroes attending a foreign conference were accorded Drs. Graham, Graham and Graham, the greatestates accorded to Dr. Allen's letter at this gathering of the world's most eminent missionary students. The Norfolk pastor is continuing his travels into Germany, Switzerland and some parts of Italy, along with Dr. Graham and others before returning to the states. His letter follows: Le Zoute, Belgium, Sept. 23, 1926 Editor of Journal and Guides, I beg space in your paper to inform my many friends at home and elsewhere that I am now in the little kingdom of Belgium, and am experiencing a thrill which I cannot describe in words. And it seems almost like a dream. The people here are strange but loving. My environment is altogether un- familiar and yet I feel at home. I have spent one full week in at- tending a wonderful conference devoted to a study of Missions in the cast continent of Africa. I have had as my fellow delegates men of many nationalities and a wide experience and scholarly attain- ments. This summer seven days has been worth as much to me as a full year spent in the foremost university of our land. In some ways I think I have been transformed. I am a new man, I have a broader understanding, a better aspiration, a keener knowledge and a richer mental background than I have ever had before. I have a deeper sense of fellowship and a fuller compassion for the whole world; and I hope I won't seem vain when I say that I am now a better man. High Points I shall no unable to give a full review of the conference in this short letter, but will simply touch a few high points in passing. There were about 300 delegates present. The majority of whom were missionaries in active service in Africa. There were Belgium, French, Germans, Egyptians, Finlanders, Britains, North Americans, white and black, Boors, and native African workers. The Negro delegates from America were, Bishops M. W. Clair and Gregg, Drs. S. G. Atkins, J. E. East, John Hope, Olden, McCoy, Mr. Max Yergan and Mrs. Williams, Dr. A. A. Graham and myself. Several of the gentlemen had their wives with them. At these touched friendly elbows with their neighbors and freely participated in the session of the conference. Among them our most efficient Corresponding Secretary of the old Carey Foreign Missionary society and I attended every session of the conference day by and hour by hour except the first, as we were late in arriving. Dr. Graham by reason of his manifest intelligence and engaging personality was easily one of the most conspicuous characters among the delegates. He literally bored himself in and forced a recognition which was pleasing to his Negro colleagues of America the friends of the Negro race among the many nationalities gathered here. He was persistent and successful in his fight for an open Negro missions in Africa. Negro before the conference: Friday morning, September 17th was able and eloquent and received the applause of his audience. He was sought out and congratulated in the corridors of the hotel and on the corners of the street. His was a plea against the color line in South Africa. Dr. Graham astounded the conference by publicly informing them that the Missionary to Africa from America was a Negro from Virginia by the name of Lott Carey. They were also amazed to learn from him that (Continued on Page Eight) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1926 MRS. MARTHA MONROE, whose death removed Norfolk's oldest inhabitant. CITY'S OLDEST INHABITANT PASSES AWAY Mrs. Martha Monroe Is Claimed By Death At 114 Years Undoubtedly the oldest inhabitant of this city passed away when death claimed Mrs. Martha Monroe, who lived with her grand-daughter, Mrs. Carrie Bunell, in West 43rd Street, Lambert's Point at the advanced age of 114 years Saturday, October 9. Although of exceptionally advanced years, Mrs. Monroe was only slightly physically infirm, and her mental faculties were intact until the last. She was stout of physique, the furrows in her face not near so pronounced as are those in the countenance of many a person not half of her years, and she was capable of lighting up her well preserved features with a most st辛静 smile. From her wonderfully retentive memory she would relocate friends, included of remote past. When Napoleon was spreading terror over Europe, Mrs. Monroe was born. Her recollection of Naturner's Insurrection of 1831 and of the nebular shower in 1837, "when the stars fell" was as perfect as if these incidents had occurred within the past decade. Of other events spiring nearly a century ago she spoke with a vividness that was indeed remarkable. A Saintly Presence How remarkably well Mrs. Monroe here her years was astounding to all who came within her presence. The heavy weight of an hundred winters had not dulled her hearing and she had not worn glasses during her entire life. With a countenance serene and so dignified, she sat in her easy chair and seemed to breathe a benediction upon all who came within her saintly presence. Mrs. Monroe was born in Sussex county, Va., in 1812, the year America began its second war with England. She was the mother of the First Baptist Church, of Lambert's Point, whose first services were held in a packing shed there. She was a devout Christian and carried sunshine throughout her exceptionally long life. Funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church by Rev. D. Jennings, pastor, assisted by Rev. M. Davis, Rev. Harvey N. Johnson, Rev. Mr. Fuller and Rev. O. J. Bullock. Mrs. Monroe was loved by all who knew her and the auditorium of the church was filled with sorrowing Friends, including several white people. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, attesting the esteem in which she lived. She is sur- children, one brother, eight grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren four great great grandchildren and a host of relatives. She has one son-in-law, who states that he was married to a daughter of hers for 40 years before she died some time ago. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. Stabbed To Death By Winoan Lexington, N. C., Oct. 13—Because he told her he was going to a show without her, Lula Dean, common-law wife of Willie Cofer, seized a knife and threatened to prevent him, by radical means. Cofer grabbed two bottles, struct her with one, three, four bottles. She drove the knife through his heart. She will be tried for murder.

CHARGE FAMILY RIFT TO IN-LAW Wife of Washington Dentist Wins Suit For Unpaid Washington, D. C., Oct. 13—Mrs. Naia D. Smith, D. D. Nichole avenue, southeast, was given an unconditional judgment by Justice Jennings Bailey last Friday against her husband, Dr. Sylvester B. Smith, a dentist, for $240 unpaid temporary alimony. Mrs. Smith is suing her husband for separate maintenance. She alleges that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Capitola Smith, interfered in their domestic affairs and that her husband failed to provide for her. Dr. Smith denied these charges and declared that his wife treated ment against him. Alimony Payments Ceased Dr. Smith was ordered September 22, 1925, to pay his wife the sum of $15 a week as temporary alimony. He made payments regularly until June 20, last. Since that date he has made no payment. His wife asked the court for judgment against him. Dr. Smith left the city six months ago. He is in the State of Pennsylvania. Attorney Geo.

Mob Outbreaks Cen Bring Renewed Fig Federal Anti-Lynch Mob Outbreaks Certain To Bring Renewed Fight For Federal Anti-Lynching Law Washington, D.C., Oct. 13 —The lynchings of four persons in the South last week are expected to give impetus to the fight for the enactment of a federal anti-lynch bill. A bill to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching is now pending in the judiciary committees of both the Senate and House of Representatives. To Push For Enactment As a result of these lynchings the fight for the passage of this legislation, which has the sanction of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will probably be renewed with vigor, when the Congress reconvenes for the short session in December. Hearings were had before a subcommittee of the Senate judiciary committee on February 23, last month the bill introduced by Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois. This sub-committee reported it favorably to the full committee, but the judiciary committee voted against a favorable report.

Out of Town Ahead But the out-of-town contestants are determined to drive those two handsome cars out of Norfolk. H. S. Stanback, of the Commercial Bank, Wilson, N. C., is leading them all with 220,000 votes, while W. W. Wallace, of Portsmouth, is tied with Mr. Moses Webb, Newark, N. J., with 210,000 votes each, and both of these are tied with Miss Lacey L. Truhart, of Hampton with an equal number. Returns which came after going to press are not indicated in this week's tabulation. The bill in the judiciary committee of the House is identical with the Senate bill. It was introduced by Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, whose original federal anti-lynching bill passed the House of Representatives but was killed by a Democratic filibuster in the Senate in December, 1922. Perplexing Questions Two questions plexe those who favor the enactment of federal anti-lynching legislation. The first is the constitutionality of the McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching bill. The second whether or not the passage of this bill would end lynching. Quite a few Senators believe that the federal government would be impotent in curbing lynching and that state legislation would be more effective. These views were brought out at the last hearing before the subcommittee of the Senate judiciary committee. Three of the lynchings last week occurred at Aiken, South Carolina, last Friday morning. One of the victims of the mob is a woman. The mob took Bertha, Clarence and Demond Lowman from their cells in the Aiken county jail, placed them in automobiles and after driving to a pine thicket on the outskirts of town, riddled their bodies with bullets.

ALL NEWS THAT'S NORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS SAYS HE SLEW WOMAN WHEN SHE QUIT HIM Berkley Man Admits He Shot To Death His Paramour Charlie Davis, 815 Alleghany street, Berkley ward, shot and killed his alleged paramour, Joseph Baskerville, Wednesday afternoon, few minutes before, 2 oclock at 208 Mahone avenue with a 32 calibre automatic pistol. Four bullets entered the woman's body. Death was instantaneous. Davis was placed under arrest by Sergent R. M. Arnold and Detective Leon Novitzky a few minutes later and lodged in jail on a charge of murder. Same Old Story The age-old story of a woman's love growing cold and of her tiring of illicit relations with one man then seeking to break them off only to be free to carry on similar relations with another man, was responsible for the slaying of the Baskerville woman, according to the alleged story given the police by her slayer. Davis gave the detective an alleged confession declaring that he killed the woman because he loved her and she had been away from him for nearly two months, during which time she had got into a condition indicating she was to become*a mother, and that his friends joked him about it. Makes Alleged Confession Asked by Novitzky why he killed the woman, Davis, according to his alleged signed statement, re- plied: Because she had been away from me nearly two months and got into a _____ way, and when I carried the letters around there and showed them to her, she refused to look at them. Further, questioning brought the following answers: Ques. "What were the letters?" Ans. "They were letters she gave from a man in Buffalo and when I showed them to her she grabbed me and told the other woman to call the police, that I had opened her letters." Ques. "Who was the other lady?" Ans. "I did not know her." Ques. "Why did you carry the pistol to the house?" Ans. Because the other man she was going with had said he was going to kill me." "You just told me he was in Duffalo, said Detective Novitzky to which Davis replied: 'No Sir, Not him. She has four or five.' Ques. "Where did you get the pistol?" Ans. "She gave it to me last August." Ques. "Don't you know that that was not enough to kill a wom- an for?" Ans. "Well I have been going with that woman for eight years and giving her from $18.00 to $20.00 a week, but I did not kill her so much for the kill her because I loved her and the boys like me when I came home from work." Ques. "Where was she shot?" Ans. "She followed me from the back of the house to the front room holding my coat, and I shot her in the front room." Ques. "Are you married?" Ans. "No sir." Detective Nowitzky said that four empty cartridges and one bullet were in the window of the front room. A coroner's inquest will be held in connection with the killing Tuesday afternoon, October 19.

Maddy do not be offended by that I am about to say. Since I like to be to you and every this in Norfolk, I refuse to any personal affairs, but all that aside. I have read articles in the Norfolk Jour- nial and Guide and do not sympa- tize with all you say. I do not know that any boy who really maintin from telling her, but in way he would show her and she was not wise enough to take it, it is a very hopeless case. I show a lady who loves a girl, and admire him when he comes out and loves his love at first and then sit at a window and what is love? Is it just foolish idea some one started in honest feeling? I do not anyone with the exception of mother and Father, therefore I believe there is such a thing. I have one more explanation to and that is that I am not a but a husky boy of the ath- type.

Naomi THE ETERNAL QUEST Dear Naomi; You have helped so many people with their problems, I am coming to you, to help, am a girl 17 years of age, medium height and weigh about 128 pounds. Most everyone says that I am good looking. Naomi, I don't have a friend; of course I have an idea it is because I am not one of these modern flappers. Most of the boys say that I am old fashioned. They say that because I do not like car riding, drinking and putting. I would like to meet a handsome young man between the ages of 17 and 20. Just think I have been all alone for three years. I stay home most of the time, because I hate to go out without a friend and the rest of the girls because I am a high school student in third grade in society and attend church and Sunday school every Sunday. I hope to see this in the next issue as I am. Waiting Dear Waiting: There is nothing wrong in being old fashioned, and you do not have to form habits you do not like to secure a friend. I am sure there are still some young men left to admire a girl with old fashioned ways. If you are not out of school yet, you do not have so much time to give the boys and I would not worry. In due time the right one will come along. Continue to conduct yourself in the proper way and you will attract some nice young man and when you finish school that will be time enough. Do not stay home because you do not have a special friend; go out with your girl friends and you will find that you will have just as nice a time.

C., Oct. 14—St. Paul was successful in defeating Shaw by a score of 6-0 on Alumni Field last Saturday. The Tigers tallied in the first quarter and was held scoreless the remainder of the distance. St. Paul's lone tally came shortly after the kickoff. Shaw received the ball and attempted to push it down the field, but the Lawrenceville boys braced and forced the Bears to punt out of danger. A bad pass from Shaw's center enabled St. Paul to break through and block Chamhars' kick. The ball was recovered on Shaw's 20 yard line and three stabs at the line gave St. Paul her score with Byrd carrying the ball over. The game centered around mid-field the rest of the game, with the teams engaging in a punting duel, in which department, Chamhers execlled for the Carolina eleven. Hughes, Boley and Melver showed up well for Shaw, while Byrd for St. Paul looked the best, getting off for 40 yards on one occasion.

Seminary battled desperately to upset the Hampton eleven here last Saturday, only to have the game to end in a 3-3 deadlock after much hard fighting by both teams. Seminary played an almost consistent game throughout, only having one loose cog in the machine, that being in the pivot position, played by Walker, who was playing for the first time at this job. While on the other hand, Hampton played a brand of football that is very commendable for a bunch of new men. Practically the entire line was composed of new men who acquitted themselves well against the concerted attack of Seminary, with Brown and Moore stabbing the line with regularity. Moore, a new man in Seminary's backfield proved a demon on the offense, carrying the ball many times for good distance. Bumble Brown displayed his old time form and exhibited a neat piece of line plunging, gaining from five to ten yards almost at will. Brown was only stopped two or three times without any gain and at those The Demon Deacons clearly outplayed the doughy Hampton clan, collecting seven first downs against two and completing three out of eight forward passes, while Hampton attempted three. Seminary got all three of the penalties, which totaled 15 yards for offsides. The entire Seminary eleven showed up well, with Brown and Moore getting most of the yardage in the offensive drive and Tucker and Polk smashing through to smear plays at the line of scrimmage. Elmer Baker, at quarter, and Williams were the bright lights for hampton in the backfield. Bruce substituting at quarter showed good form, intercepting a Seminary pass as soon as he got into the game and racing 25 yards before being stopped. Lee, Robinson and Davis showed up well in the first line of defense. Hampton—3 Va. Sem.—3 McGowan L. E. Hoyle Lee L. T. Womack Robinson L. G. Jackson Munday C. Walker Banks R. G. Tucker Ruffin R. T.

Seminary was battling desperately in Hampton to repeat last year's feat. Seminary's mainstays had only been in harness a few days when they met St. Paul and the Tigers issued by with a field goal. But in Saturday's game with Hampton, the Demon Deacons had made one hundred per cent improvement in form and was on edge to meet the host. When these squads meet here Monday, November 8, they will be all set to give Norfolk one of the best college games ever staged here, surpassing the Union-Morehouse and the Hampton-Shaw games here last year. These elec- vons will be evenly matched, line for line and backfield for backfield. Union has always produced one of the fastest backfields in this section. For the last five or six years, the Panthers have always had a quartette of ball carriers that were spectacular and flashy, with every member in it possessing a great amount of speed. This year is no exception. In Moton Shields, Breaux, Gross and one or two others, Union has a bunch of backs that equal their recent stars, such as Fentress, Gregory, Wilson, Jackson, Boffman and others. The past few years have found Va. Seminary swiftly coming to the foreground and ranking with the best in this neck of the woods. Last year, the Deacons seriously threatened to clinch the championship honors in the C. I. A. A. It was a hot and closely contested affair between the Lynch hurg school and Hampton and the championship was not settled until the final games had been played between all members of the association. And this year, all indications point to one of the best aggregations in the history of the Lynchburg institution. Conch Hurt has a fine array of wonderful athletes. He has a first line of defense that can be depend upon to bear up under the heaviest harrage, with such men as Sam Polk, Tucker, Hoyle and Scott. In the backfield, he has plenty of strength, power and speed which works under the direction of one of the brainiest quarterbacks in the game. Whedbee, two-time all-American and captain of Seminary's team for two years, is there with the goods. Then, there Moore, a new man in Seminary's backfield, proved a demon on the offense, carrying the ball many times for good distance. Bumble Brown displayed his old time form and exhibited a neat piece of line plunging, gaining from five to ten yards almost at will. Brown was only stopped two or three times without any gain and at those times when he was stopped, he came back to rip the line open. Wheedbe, knowing Hampton was using many new men in the first line of defense, directed most of his plays at that point. Also knowing the strength and fighting ability of Captain Lee, of Hampton, it seemed that Coach Hurt had particularly trained his men to drive most of their plays over his position. Lee was really up against it, but he styved there fighting back as hard as he could. Many times, four and five men were thrown into an interference and sent over Lee's position, with Brown or Moore carrying the ball, and rarely did they fail to make the distance. Most of the plays were directed at Lee, but he fought them and they fought him. Game of Breaks Despite the battle put up by the squads, it was a game of breaks, probably due to early season form, with new men in the lineup. It was anybody's contest at some stages of the game, but neither seemed able to follow up advantages. Seminary launched a drive twice, carrying the ball far down into Hampton's territory, but a fumble or a wild pass would upset the attack and the Seasiders would get the ball and punt out of danger. Hampton reached striking distance twice after registering the goal and made two more attempts, but the oval veered or fell short of its mark. Seminary's fumble just about 5 minutes after play had started was responsible for the Hampton score. The Dragons fumbled and Hampton recovered and Baker dropped from the 26-yard line. In the third stanza, after Seminary had pushed Hampton's back against the wall, only to have the Union, having had the full advantage of the training season, was well prepared to meet any team in the association last Saturday, consequently, the squad ran wild in the game with Johnson C. RUGBY THE LINEUP Seminary On Top BOOKERS SNOW HARRISON UNDER A 33 TO 0 SCORE BY WILEY A. JOHNSON. I in a merry sermable that soon developed into a onesided affair, Washington bankrupt in High School, of 18 at League Park, last Friday. Harrison was completely outplayed in the second half of the game, being unable to stop the offensive drive hummed by the Bookers. This onslaught lasted 7 first downs, and the points Harrison powerless to check this drive and the Fighting Bookers rumped at will. At the beginning, despite the fact that the locals slipped up on a fudge, Harrison fumbled on receiving and Townes did not belight the first tally, the game had all appearances of being classy contemptful. It held this quiet through the entire first half. Harrison was successful in holding the Bookers one touchdown to one, and the second that he rebounded in the third period. Harrison seemed as if she would hold the locals to this count and come around in the second half and show a burst of speculation in the Fighting Bookers came back in these two remaining stunners and could not be stopped short of an overwhelming victory. How They Romped In the second half, when the Bookers scored most of their points, they launched a drive that most Harrison on the defensive most of the time. The visitors were forced to release the ball to the home team. When this half opened, Harrison was receiving. The ball went directly to the eater, striking him with a force, he was unable to catch it and the pig skin bound back to Johnson, who recovered it on the 50-yard line. Thomas was given the ball first but failed to gain the ball for failure. Thomas was thrown for a loss. The bookers punted Harrison's 30-yard line. Harrison makes two thrusts at the line but failed to dent it to it any advantage. Harrison attempted to gain by a forward pass, but Ross intercepted on the 30-yard line and raced the rest of the defense to the first score. Half of Harrison's point by a drop kick. Taking the ball on the kick off again, Harrison vainly tried to drive down the field and score, but the defense of the Bookers, with Hart, Diggs, Tucker and Fereche, hurled the brunt of the visitors attack, was a success. Harrison was smacked and forced to punt out of danger. Only at one time did she battle Washington. The Bannake boys executed a neat trick play that sent the Bookers scurrying in one direction looking for the runner, but find that he waded off with the ball in another. This run ended with the ball scurrying in yards. At one other time was the mystery of the Fighting Bookers thruout. From play to play, Harrison found the Norfolk boys bearing down on them, driving harder and harder at every play. Even the second string men bore down on Harrison, to the extent that they garnered nine of the points, with Anderson carrying off the hours. Anderson, playing his first with the bookers showed us cracking the line, consistently for good gain, using a touchdown and kicking a field goal. Hartson, Gill, Johnson and Braun played well for Harrison, hearing thrust of the work throughout the game. Brady, Washington 77, Harrison 0 Referent, Cannage (Howard).

WHIPS TIGERS TO THE TUNE OF 62-0 Elizabeth City Tigers prove every tame and domesticated at league Park last Monday when they succumbed to the severe laxity of the maroon clad Norfolk Athletic Club, who ran rougher over the plucky Carolinians, lilling up a 62-0 score. The Tigers did not have a possible chance throughout the one season they did not know what it was all about. Norfolk Athletic Club proved too much for the Elizabeth City aggregation and gave the boys a lesson in footballing. Immediately after the game started, N. A. C. began scoring and never let up until the final whistle ended the laughter. N. A. C. averaged a point a minute for the contest, or asking a touchdown about every ix or seven minutes. The Tigers fought hard in the ace of overwhelming ceds and showed the fellows here that they could take a chance, like this, in what happened. N. A. C. heat them lopsided; rubbed in and made them like it. Every member of the Norfolk Athletic Club figured in the white-washing, with Billups, Smith and Booth, veterans, coming around to how much better form than displayed in some time.

YOUNG Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 12 —Cool, fearless, composed, Harry Wills received the assault of Jack Sharkey of Boston, and awaited his opening to insert his devastating, death-dealing punch. Confident, spirited, aggressive, Sharkey carried the fatal battle to his opponent, and plugged and fought, and waited for Fate to soothe his weary brow. Eager, absorbed in hope, Tex Rickard waited for a dark shadow to the pugilistic and sink the perilous horizon. Eager, tense, a handful of hopeful fans prayed for the realization of the ambitions of a fighter who for six years has knocked incessantly, but vainly, at the threshold of Fistdom. Only the hearts of Jack Sharkey and Rickard beat and thrilled with rapture at the end of the scheduled fifteen round go between Wills and Sharkey here tonight which came to a sorrowful end in the thirteenth round when the giant colored fighter was ordered to his corner to listen to his knell rung from the melodic voice of announcer a d promoter number uugazy of Fugazy, Gugazy, Kelly and George Kelly and George Partrick, judges, wen the chief officials at this close of a colorful ring career. It was estimated that 40,000 witnessed the event. It was, in reality, a battle between youth, bubbling and ambitious, and age, worn and stale. Just at the beginning of his climb, Sharkey had everything to gain. Like a forlorn buoy tossing about on angry seas, the Boston aspirant man sinner, at frequent intervals he rose from his decoy and shot a siff right to the waiting jaw of Wills. He was the master of the light from the start. Victim of Time As for Wills, he was the victim of Time. He was nothing like the Wills of even a year ago. He lacked that viciousness and aggressiveness that made him an object of fear. He was without a punch and the agility to deliver. Continuously the Boston sharpshooter staved his right to Wills's head, but Harry never adapted a defense to protect himself from it. Cool and calm, Wills stood and accepted the starboard punch of his adversary, and had the bolt gone the limit this same punch would have made the Brown Panther the loser by decision. It was clearly the white boy's fight all the way. The second round sound hurried the doom that hovered above the head of America's most persistent heavyweight challenger. However, the decision came not because of any exceptionally brilliant work of Sharkey. His showing was none too impressive. Aside from a terrific right hand swing—a lightning fast one at that, however—the sharpshooter from the Hub city possessed no promising qualities of a real fighter. It was, on the other hand, the pitable condition and showing of Harry that turned the battle. HOWARD LAMBASTS VIRGINIA NORMAL LIVINGSTONE 31-0 TOO MUCH FOR Washington, D. C., Cct. 14—In their first game of the season and the first game to be played in the new Howard Stadium, the Howard "Bisons" took the toll of the Livingstone College eleven by the score of 31-10 last Saturday. Howard was master of the situation throughout the game, making nineteen first downs to the visitor's none. The best that the Livingstone team could do was to brace the line now and then and force Howard to try forward passes on the last down. The touchdowns for Howard were as follows: Tyson 2, Smith 2, and Young 1. "All of Howard's scores were made in the first and third periods. The "Bison" line was heavier than that of the visitors and the backs had little difficulty in finding gaps to play through. The "Bison" in calling signals and was snappy on the offensive. They also played an open game largely, trying sixteen passes and making six. The Howard backfield was strong and elusive, Coles and C. Smith doing particularly good work, and on the line Captain V. Smith, Kelly and Campbell starred. T. Smith, Reed and Walker played a valiant game for the visitors. THE LINEUP Howard—31 Livingstone—0 R. Smith L. E. Butler V. Smith L. T. Small Rainey L. G.

LOSES TO ARKEY ON FOUL Quits Well Fixed ```markdown ``` Harry Wills' defeat at the hands of Jack Sharkey, the young Boston fighter, displaces him as the logical contender, which position he held for several years. Wills says he's through, but he quits the ring well financially. Although he put up a poor fistic showing in what was his crucial battle—crucial because it determined whether or not he should ever step in the ring as challenger for the world's heavyweight title. Harry Wills put to be so scoped The New Orleans fighter encountered what any other would have, had he been in the fight game, an active boxer for fifteen years. Wills is now 36 years old, and during the past few years has engaged in very few real ring battles. Any man under the same conditions would have met with the same results. How Wills Lost The whole secret of Harry's defeat probably lies in the fact that he was without, to a critical degree, an offense. Really, Wills was not aggressive at all in this fight. He was content to take, but not anxious to give. With even the aggressions to give, Harry was not aggressive whom he floored in two rounds last year, he would have easily been the winner. But Wills stood and accepted the rush of Jack, and gave little in return. Even in the clinics where Wills is at his best, he failed to gain the vantage. Sharkey's lightening punches, at close quarters, were not enough to hit his son, his son had nothing out of the commonplace to offer. As one observer aptly remarked: "Sharkey was pitching, Wills catching." VIRGINIA NORMAL TOO MUCH FOR N. C. COLLEGE Petersburg, Va., Oct. 14—Va. Normal defeated North Carolina College here Saturday, 40-0, before one of the largest crowds witnessed at an opening game here. The whole Normal team ran over N. C. College. Epps got off for the longest run for a touchdown, taking the oval on the 50-yard line and going the rest of the distance for the count. Tynes, Epps Overby and Cole were outstanding stars for Petersburg, while Wiggins tore off long runs seeming at will. Lacey, Chamberlain, Tatar and Frieden added the Chambers hit the line like a battering ram and Lacey clogging up the Durham offense. Kelly, Wilson, Caldwell and Ingram played well for the North Carolina aggregation. In the last quarter N. C. College completed several passes on the Va. Normal substitutes and at one time were on the Va. Normal five yard line but could not score. THE LINEUP V. N. I. I—40 N. C. State—0 Pegram L. E. Wilson Shelton L. T. Kelly Coley L. G.

Pa., Oct. 14—The Lincoln Lions lawned their way to an impressive victory over the powerful Calvary team of West Point by the staggering score of 87-0. Lead by Captain Grasty, shifted to the center position, the Chester county lads fought with the characteristic Lincoln Spirit. Never before in the history of football at Lincoln has a team so completely overwhelmed an opponent.

Martin and Hibbler were altogether too fast for the Army, and the team threaded their way for long runs through the entire defense. Bryant and Wells' playing in guard positions, indicate that they mean to do damage this season. Givens, playing guard, gave the coaches a fine exhibition of fast charging.

Long before the hour for obsequies, great throngs of people had gathered in the main auditorium of the Tabernacle, one of the largest in the South. It is conservatively estimated that five or six thousand were gathered in and around the church on this occasion—every available seat in the spacious chapel being taken, many being forced to stand. Hundreds were forced to remain on the outside, the church being packed to capacity. Services at the church were in charge of the Rev. D. W. Thompson, D. D., pastor of Tabernacle church.

The terrific impact caused the opposite side of the street. The white driver jumped out of his car and took to his heels and has not, to this time been apprehended. The white driver, was not the only occupant in his car, it was discovered later upon investigation. Another man was found in the rear seat asleep, seemingly dead to the world. The crash and smash of glass and flying splinters apparently did not disturb his slumber, which appeared to be that of an intoxicated man, it was stated. Mr. Tate said that later on in the morning, another white man came to his place stating that he was the owner of the car that struck the colored man's auto and that it had been stolen and he was looking for it. The names of the principals in the accident could not be learned. The colored driver stated that the damage done to his car would amount to about $135. The damage done to both cars was slight compared to what was done to the window fronts.

He pressed the claims of Africa and her needs before the Committee on Resolutions, won the promise contained in a large section of the conference report, that the barriers against the American Negroes desiring to save Africa should be taken down. He was the foremost of the Negro group in waging the fight. He won friends on every side, and before the conference closed was enjoying a freedom which in many ways placed him among the best minds assembled here. I have shared all of the courses shown him and have participated in the honors which he has won. We have been together everywhere and all the time, and we have been spurrounded at recess and leisure moments by the brightest men and women here. Journalists from England, wise old Germans, polite, South Americans, warm-hearted Swedes, keen-witted ladies, all sorts, and types of people have continuously trailed our movements and sought our opinions. tested for efficiency We tested the Premier Duplex for efficiency before deciding to sell it to our customers.

Rowley, son of Mr. and How to Enter And Win in the Big Journal and Guide "Everybody Wins" Campaign The first step in order to share in this mammouth 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 Olney 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 NOW 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 those 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 $5500 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 eliping out the Free Voting Coupons that appear in every issue of the Journal and Guide or have your friends save them and cost them to your credit. The other and faster way to get your friends to their subscriptions is this paper. A certain number of votes are schedule for each subscription (as you see by the vote schedule on this page). The number of votes allowed depends on what time the subscription is secured. The best way to get votes is by the subscriptions. You thereby get more results for your spare time efforts, however all the FREE VOTE COUPONS can 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 "combed." 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 these active candidates who make a weekly can report and who do not win one of the principal 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. HOW THE VOTES COUNT PAGES 9 TO 14 COURTLAND Rules For The Campaign Any reputable man or woman, boy or girl, is eligible to enter the Campaign and win a prize. Nominations may be made at any time. No salaried employee of the Journal and Guide or any immediate member of his or her family is allowed to enter the Campaign. The right to reject any nomination is reserved. Cash must accompany all subscriptions to receive votes. No vote credit is given on subscriptions received at the office unless requested at the time of payment. Votes are free. It costs nothing for subscribers and readers to vote for their favorites. Votes cannot be purchased. Every cent accepted by the campaign department MUST represent subscription payments. Votes are not transferable. One candidate cannot withdraw in favor of another candidate. Should a candidate withdraw from the campaign his or her votes will be cancelled. Subscriptions may be secured from any place in the United States. Subscriptions will not be accepted in this campaign for less than one year. Ballots issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted at the discretion of the candidate. The printed vote coupon appearing in the paper each week must be voted before the expiration date appearing thereon. No statement or promise made by any solicitor, agent or candidate varying from the rules and statements published through this paper will be recognized by the publishers. In case of typographical or other errors it is understood that neither the publisher nor the Campaign Manager shall be responsible except to make the necessary corrections. It is distinctly understood that candidates will be responsible for all monies collected and they will remit such amounts in full at frequent intervals or on demand. There will be two standard make automobiles, cash and other prizes besides a ten per cent CASH commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners, but it is DISTINCTIVELY UNDERSTOOD THAT IN EVENT ANY CANDIDATE BECOMES INACTIVE, failing to make a weekly cash report, he or she will become disqualified and FORFEIT ALL RIGHTS TO A COMMISSION. To insure absolute fairness in awarding the prizes the campaign will be brought to a close under a "SEALED BALLOT BOX" system and will be under the personal supervision of the ADVISORY BOARD, the personnel of which will be composed of some of the city's leading business and professional men. However, during the progress of the Campaign the standings of the Contestants will be published from time to time. During the entire last week of the election, candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections and reserve votes in the locked and sealed ballot box. Not until the race is closed will the seal be broken and judges begin the final count. NO ONE—NOT EVEN THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER OR PUBLISHER can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. The Journal and Guide reserves the right to amend the rules of this election, if necessary, for the protection of the interests of both the candidates and this newspaper. In accepting the nominations the candidates agree to abide by the above conditions. Winners of the automobiles and other prizes will be decided by their accredited votes, said votes being represented by ballots issued on subscriptions and by coupons clipped from the paper. In the event of ties prizes identical in character to those offered will be given to each of those tying. November 13th to November 27th The above schedule of votes, which is on a declining scale, positively will not be changed during the campaign. A special ballot good for 100,000 extra votes will be issued for each $25.00 in subscriber money turned in to the campaign, not necessarily in the $25.00 worth of subscriber money in all at one time as this guarantee will be in effect throughout the campaign and is to be considered a part of the regular vote schedule. 15,000 35,000 75,000 140,000 300,000 620,000 12,000 30,000 65,000 125,000 280,000 610,000 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1926 Hame, their place, died at T.

Spaulding, Jr., son of the President of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., was one of the speakers at the recent Y. M. C. A. Conference at the University of North Carolina, making the first time a colored student had ever spoken at this great institution. Just back from the World Y. M. C. A. Conference at Helsingfors, he colored on World Outlook" as seen from that notable gathering, where forty nationalities were represented. His wife was in spirit, thoughtful and kindly expressed, and was heard with great interest and appreciation. Among other things he said: "My trip to Europe has inspired me. It has given me an increasing appreciation of my fellow-man and the Gospel of Jesus Christ; a Gospel that uplifts and beautifies the lives of men. As this Gospel is translated into unselfish and genuine co-operation the world-outlook becomes brighter and brighter. . . . Someone has said that the world is growing better and worse all the time. I thank God that it seems to be growing better taste than it is growing worse taste, drawing a better understanding between nations and peoples; and we are beginning to realize as never before our dependence, one upon the other. "In conclusion, permit me to say that the invitation extended to six others of my race and to me to attend the Helsingfors Conference, and the opportunity extended to me to appear on this program, give encouragement and outlook to the Negro youth of the land. They deeply appreciate the new spirit of democracy and fellowship which this participation cements, and they pledge you their loyalty and trust for the building of a better world." Littleton, N.

LSO DRESS NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING Drought Of Late September Had Serious Effect The Virginia cotton crop defined in condition during the latter part of September due to the dry weather and the October 1st forecast was 44,000 bales, compared with 47,000 bales on September 18th and 58,000 bales produced in 1925. Picking has com­posed and in many cases growers have found that the yield is not as as had been expected. There is still much late cotton which will require several weeks of growing weather before reaching maturity, in early frost will injure such cotton to a considerable extent. The any worm has appeared in prac­cively every cotton growing county in the State; but does not seem to have caused any serious damage. In some instances the loss of leaves has caused the bolls a open more rapidly than would have been the case if the worms had not been present. According to our correspondents approximately 13 per cent of the cotton crop had been picked by October 1st. 2,252 bales had been compared with 6,851 bales in the same date last year.

J. M. Clark, of the city, and relied upon as name as Toonbakker the Norfolk minister, and states that he has a son somewhere in this city by the name of Edward Toombs. The Rev. Mr. Clark said he accidentally encountered this old man while traveling through the country in the performance of his duties as a preacher. The forlorn hut was pointed out to him by another young man, he said, who took him that the old man was overjoyed and suggested that they go in to investigate. Inside the old man was found lying on the floor apparently lifeless, said Mr. Clark. The preacher and his companion proceeded to question the recluse, whereupon it was learned that he was alone and destitute, and desperately in need of the attention of his son, or someone who will care for him until his rapidly fleeting days there were ended.

The morning session was graced with the presiding officer, the Senator of Pennsylvania, President of the Keystone Cooperative Banking Association, President of the Sequit Centennial Bank, the Senator of the Georgia State Central College and now President of the Southern Citizens Bank. These two women, along with the Senator delegates with their wholesome, uplifting and inspiring addresses, Mr. James C. Moore in a very pleasing address turned into a speech. The outstanding feature of the first day afternoon session was the annual address of the Grand Preventing Shepherd, the Grand Herder, Herbert H. Stokes, unmistakable evidences of a leader with broad vision and a constructive as well as unmistakable evidences of a minute-per program. The Order and showed beyond a possible contradiction that the future possibilities of the Order would be a co-operation she would soon place our beloved Order in the class of the most progressive Praternal organizations of this country. The convention and held it spellbound as she poured forth the golden ideas embodied in the most outstanding and pro-grams ever enunciated to our Order. Tuesday night the flood gates of oratory were opened and the programs ever enunciated to our Order were immersed in a alert overflow of words of welcome from Mr. Horace Hopp, Mr. Addison Jones and Master Hopp. The choice speeches ever delivered to our convention, Dr. William H. Stokes and Rev. Hopp responded to these welcome addresses. The second day's session was featured with a grand parade. Promptly at 4:45 the delegates and members of the local band marched off to the march moved off promptly at 5 P. M. The Shepherds Band led the line of march and furnished music for this occasion. Great throngs of people lined the streets and cheered the band as they roasted welcome to the Shepherds and To some people Autumn is merely the season between Summer and Winter.

KILLED ON WAY FROM CHURCH Newtons, Va.—Excitement ran high in this village as the news spread that Walter Durden, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Darden, highly respected citizen of this place, was murdered Tuesday night, September 21, en route home after church services. Walters, "Boss," as he was familiarly known, was a very popular young man in this community and unmarried. According to eyewitnesses he was returning home form church, accompanied by his younger brother, when the pair were accepted by another young man named Earle Branch, who struck the younger Darden. Walter is said to have remonstrated with the branch saying, "Earle you ought to be ashamed to strike that little boy." At which remark Branch is said to have attacked the older Darden, fatally stabbing him in the heart. The injured man expired in ten minutes after being attacked without uttering a single word, it is said. Branch took refuge in a nearby swamp, it was reported.

AND LINCOLN STREET kers everywhere.—Wholesale Rates Act of Service Circulation audited and proved by Certified Public Accountant, (Virginia.) And Why Not The Fraternal Organizations? The Atlanta Independent advises a merger of the ten largest Negro life insurance companies in the country into one or two giant insurance corporations as a master stroke in the combination of race capital toward economy. A material reduction of insurance cost to policyholders could be effected through such a merger, says the Independent, which sees the proposition as an inviting opportunity for a group of the insurance leaders of the race to combine the resources and energies at their command to insure greater stability and lower costs of operation. The suggestion is not without merit. Undoubtedly some sort of merger of Negro life insurance companies should be effected as a means of strengthening the weaker ones, but there is probably no sound economic reason why all of them should combine. In fact, it is open to question whether one giant Negro life insurance company with all competition eliminated except from the white companies might not prove as vicious as many other great combinations of capital have proved to be. But, as we have said, some degree of merger would be wholesome. The weaker companies that can scarcely make the grade should seek to consolidate so as to make greater solvency and reduced operating costs as the Independent outlined. Then, too, while we are combining Negro life insurance companies, we might as well carry the process of elimination for the sake of economy into the field of fraternal organizations, there being no sphere of the activities more in need of some sort of elimination and absorption than this one. The Independent might not find it as easy to compute the overhead expenses of the fraternal organizations as it computes the operating costs of the insurance companies, but we are certain, should the figures ever be arrived at they will prove immense. Then, too, when we take into consideration the enormous amount of money expended by fraternal organizations' delegates in convention travel we have a staggering total which has no effect toward enhancing the economic standing of the race. Yes, some merging of the insurance companies would be good and doubly as much merging of fraternal organizations would be better. Toward Interracial Harmony Mr. J. T. Whitley, who contributes to "Monday Morning Message" to the (Nev folk) Virginian-Pilot, heading one of his n e cent contributions, "A Worthy Washington begins with this paragraph: Mr. J. T. Whitley, who contributes the "Monday Morning Message" to the (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot, heading one of his recent contributions, "A Worthy Washington" begins with this paragraph: I count it a distinct loss that I did not read the Autobiography of Booker T. Washington until it had been in print a quarter century, and the author had been 10 years in his grave. Such amazing record of aspiration, energy, courage and achievement is not met with more than once in a generation. Such a stock of common sense expressed in simple straightforward English is strongly suggestive of Benjamin Franklin. At the risk of appearing to "carry coats to Newcastle," I set down a few facts of his phenomenal career. Summarizing briefly the life of his subject and interspersing his own generous comment on the sterling qualities and worth of the man, Mr. Whitley concludes as follows: From the lowly hut of a slave to the esteem of distinguished educators and statesmen in America and Europe, receiving honors from venerable institutions of learning, uplifting his own race Summarizing briefly the life of his subject and interspersing his own generous comment on the sterling qualities and worth of the man, Mr. Whitley concludes as follows: From the lowly but of a slave to the esteem of distinguished educators and statesmen in America and Europe, receiving honors from venerable institutions of learning, uplifting his own race and rendering valued service to the dominant race also, this man surely won the right to wear the illustrious surname that he chose, and made himself fit to go down to history as a worthy Washington. Is there any wonder that progress toward interracial appreciation and understanding sometimes seems to move with a discouraging pace? Here is a white man of letters, whose generous spirit finally brings him to the confession that he regards it "a distinct loss" that he had not more than a passing knowledge of the life of Booker T. Washington, one of the most useful men this nation ever produced, and probably the most illustrious Negro born on the American continent, until ten years after the man had been in his grave, though the story of his life had been circulated in printed form for 15 years before he died. How can international and interracial goodwill ever be genuinely and lastingly achieved until the races of men come to know and appreciate one another—one another's mutual worth and shortcomings—through a study of the writings and works, of each other, the only medium through which the spirit of men can have earthly communion? Editorial Page of Hear this from a young white student in a Tennessee institution: "Until last August (1925) my only contacts with Negroes had been those one makes in a small town with the ignorant, illiterate, happy-g-o-lucky 'darkies' . . . and my attitude was formed accordingly. To be fair, I must say that there was in my town a class of white people on the same level with the Negroes and toward whom I felt much the same. The difference was this. Well, I did not dream of judging all white people by this same unfortunate class, I did tend to so limit my judgment of Negro people. The actual change has come about this year largely through friendships formed in our Commission, through the fellowship experienced at the Tennessee Christian Student Conference at Chattanooga, and through the discoveries made in reading things written by Negroes. To be able to claim friendship with a colored girl has introduced the personal element into all my thinking on matters of race. And this has meant that where once was indifference is now an eagerness to know, where once was condescending kindness is now sympathetic understanding, and where once was a sense of superiority is now a feeling of kinship. should be always the action of the combine command over costs merit.

Sometimes ago those who hope fully look forward to each year provide the lynchless one, were forced to abandon all hope that 1926 might prove to be, but still clung to the faith that the year's record The lynching record for 1926 has been steadily mounting since the first month of the year. Sometimes age those who hopefully look forward to each year proving the lynchless one, were forced to abandon all hope that 1926 might prove to be it, but still clung to the faith that the year's record might at least show an improvement over the record for 1925. Even that cannot longer be hoped for. The three-quarters of the year thus spent already have run up a lynching score higher than was tallied during the whole of last year. Even states which hitherto have been showing definite improvement in curbing this sort of savagery, including our own Virginia, have failed to escape the beoflowing thing this year. But for staging a lynching of surpassing horror, one which stands out as the most peculiarly offensive recorded in years and one which most flagrantly mocks the majestic law, Aiken, South Carolina, has just carried off the palm. Two men and one woman already in the custody of the court are taken from the jail during a recess in their trial by masked men, hurried to a secluded spot and shot to death. Against one of the men the trial judge had already directed a verdict of not guilty. He was in jail awaiting a hearing on a new count, while the other man and the woman awaited final disposition of their cases. The disquieting thing about this disgusting affair is that it indicates that lynching is growing more disdainful of orderly legal processes. There was grave doubt as to the guilt of the victims of the South Carolina butchery. They had once been tried and convicted for murdering a sheriff, but the Supreme Court in a thoroughgoing opinion pointed to this doubt and remanded the case for retrial, in the course of which one of the men was held not guilty at all. The other man and woman, whether guilty or not, their fate was already in the hands of a court, whose machinery was moving with due form and dispatch, when all three of them were summarily done to death. This lynching, along with the Tennessee affair which occurred on the day following South Carolina's lawlessness, shows that lynching grows more frequent for crimes other than those against womanhood. Not one of the four victims lynched in two days was accused of having attempted to violate womanhood, all of which strongly contradicts Senator Hefflin, of Alabama, who on the floor of the Senate, speaking in opposition to the federal anti-lynching bill advanced the argument that lynching in the South survived because of the alleged menace to white women by colored men. Incidentally, it may not be inappropriate to recall that this particular lynching was provoked by the iniquitous prohibition search and seizure practice carried out by certain law enforcement officers in flagrant violation of the constitutional rights of individuals. The sheriff who was killed forcibly invaded the colored family's home in search of liquor and found none. He failed to exhibit anything to identify himself as an officer of the law, and, according to what has since been adduced in course of the trial of those who slew him, he even carried a faulty warrant. He was killed when the Negro family sought to defend their home against what they had every reason to believe to be unlawful invasion, one member of the family, the mother, being slain in the melee that ensured. It is up to the better element of white people of the South to rescue their section from the mire of national disgrace into which this sort of crime is steadily plunging it. If it continues to fail in this respect the people of this country have every right to demand immediate passage of federal anti-lynching legislation. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Dev There were that day for Devils and Darkies There were a number of men in court that day for various offenses, some for grand larceny, some for liquor law violations, one for rape. Time after time I heard defense attorneys refer to their colored clients as "this darkey" or "this poor nigger." At first I was wondering what had come over these amiable men of the bar, many of whom I knew personally to be very fair in their attitude to our race. Finally, a light dawned. A brilliant lawyer stood up to defend a young white found guilty, Very pattisonize as "this poor d here lay the s and pity of a fense attorney client as a poor a child, a poor strong men. S the jury are "a fortunities are There is o for any decree you want to ma void falling in will eventually he will need th of these men h and reputation there would he hity for their e jury.

America would of man. a young white man who was facing, if found guilty, a term in the penitentiary Very patitionizing he referred to his client as "this poor devil". I divined at once that here he lay the secret. To win the sympathy and pity of a possibly hostile jury, the defense attorney always played down his client as a poor weakling, but little more than a child, a poor being, needing the pity of strong men. So, white unfortunates before the jury are "poor devils" and colored unfortunates are "darkies." young white man who was facing, if found guilty, a term in the penitentiary "this pity patronizingly he referred to his client "this poor devil". I divined at once that there lay the secret. To win the sympathy and pity of a possibly hostile jury, the defense attorney always played down his intent as a poor weakling, but little more than a child, a poor being, needing the pity of strong men. So, white unfortunate before the jury are "poor devils" and colored unfortunate are "darkies." There is certainly a warning in this for any decent, self-respecting man. If you want to maintain your self-respect, then avoid falling into habits and pastimes which will eventually lead one to the place where you will need the pity of a jury. If any one of these men had had the facts on their side and reputations for spotless living hitherto, there would have been absolutely no necessity for their embarrassment thus before the jury. I dare say, no man on this jury was disposed to do injustice to a man merely because he was colored or because he had been apprehended by a representative of the jury. The trouble lay in the defendant's apparent guilt in most cases and the appeal to the jury's sense of pity was the only way out of consequent fines and imprisonment. But it is not enough for decent men to avoid committing resthey heavily on them to help others to come to the same high stand. churches cannot regard their duty as well as if, they only make people shout. Lodges cannot regard their duty well done, if they only pay sick and death benefits and "turn it at their members' deaths. Fraternities cannot regard their duty as well done, if they only promote friendly feeling as between social and cultural equals. No agency is helpfulness among us has done whole duty until it has discouraged even the "good-timey" lawlessness which can bring a man to such a degraded status. of being referred to in open court as this darker here" or "this poor devil"! There is pertinence again in the words of the apostle: "For rulers are not a terror the good work, but to the evil. And should thou have no fear of the power? that which is good, and thou shalt have raise from the same." "But the fruit of the Spirit is love. peace. faithfulness. self-control; against it, there is no law." There is already listing among us a type of colored man whom embarrassing descriptives would fit. Even if some lawyer should refer this type of colored gentleman as a satyx," the reference would have no meaning to the jury and no effect upon their compatriots. Would that every Negro in America would aspire to becoming that sort man. There is certainly a warning in this for any "descent, self-respecting man." If you want to maintain your self-respect, then avoid falling into habits and pastimes which will eventually lead one to the place where he will need the pity of a jury. If any one of these men had had the facts on their side and reputations for spotless living hitherto, there would have been absolutely no necessity for their embarrassment thus before the jury. I dare say, no man on this jury was predisposed to do injustice to a man merely because he was colored or because he had been apprehended by a representative of the law. The trouble lay in the defendant's apparent guilt in most cases and the appeal to the jury's sense of pity was the only way out of consequent fines and imprisonment. But it is not enough for decent men to avoid committing offenses themselves. It is an obligation resting heavily upon them to help others to come to the same high stand. Churches cannot regard their duty as well done, if they only make people show. Lodges cannot regard their duty well done, if they only pay sick and benefit and "turn out" at their members' deaths. Fraternities cannot regard their duty as well done, if they only promote friendly feeling as between social and cultural equals. No agency of social helpfulness among us has done its "good-time" lawlessness which can bring a man to such a degraded status. Think of being referred to in open court as "this darker here" or "this no evil!" There is perinence again in the words of the apostle: "For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldst thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same." "But the fruit of the Spirit is love . . . peace . . . faithfulness . . . self-control; against such there is no law." There is already existing among us a type of colored man whom such embarrassing descriptives would not fit. Even if some lawyer should refer to this type of colored gentleman as a "datky," the reference would have no meaning to the jury and no effect upon their sympathies. Would that every Negro in America would aspire to becoming that sort of man. Spirit of The Press The Sou From The North Now comes past two years bition of mob n in the South i single victim th affairs, there them a woman mob acting in tly following a The South Carolina Horror from The Norfolk (Virginian-Pilot) Now comes South Carolina, whose lynch record had been on the mend for the last two years, with as horrible an exhibition of mob murder as has been witnessed the South in a decade. Instead of the eight victim that ordinarily figures in these crimes, there were three victims, one of a woman. Here was not a case of a robbery in the heat of passion immediate-following a crime that the law had not yet dealt with. The mechanism of lynching Now comes South Carolina, whose lynching record had been on the mend for the past two years, with as horrible an exhibition of mob murder as has been witnessed in the South in a decade. Instead of the single victim that ordinarily figures in these affairs, there were three victims, one of them a woman. Here was not a case of a mob acting in the heat of passion immediately following a crime that the law had not yet grappled with. The machinery of justice was in full function. Two Negro men and a Negro woman were being tried a second time for the slaying of a sheriff in April, 1925. The officer had come to their house to search for liquor. The first trial resulted in conviction, but the Supreme Court ordered a new trial. In the course of the second trial the presiding judge directed a verdict of not guilty in the case of one of the three Negroes. The other two were still to be tried. Now, all three—the man whom the judge considered not guilty at all, and the man and woman whose guilt still wanted a final judicial affirmation—are dead. Maddened by the presiding judge's action, a mob broke into the Aiken county jail, took the prisoners to a nearby woods and shot them to death. It does not lie in Virginia's mouth, remembering the Wytheville abomination, which is still wholly unpunished and likely to remain unpunished forever, to preach too righteously about this new act of savagery. That is one of the tragedies of this miserable business—all the Southern states are tarred by the same stick, some deeper daubed than others, all of them befouled and spotted. But mob murder is mob murder and to be denounced by all decent people everywhere, wherever it occurs, regardless of its previous occurrence near home. In this spirit Virginia and the whole South can join in condemning the South Carolina horror as a befouling of our civilization. What happened at Aliken differed only in degree from what has happened and is happening in every Southern state, and is to be recognized for what it is—a type crime, encountered from time to time all over the United States, but encountered peculiarly and in its most degrading manifestations in the South. It is peculiarly a Southern cancer that we have here to contend with and the most solemn duty rests upon the South to cut this cancer out. a number of men in court various offensives, some for grand larceny, some for liquor law violations, one for rape. Time after time I heard defense attorneys refer to their colored clients as "this darkey" or "this poor nigger." At first I was wondering what had come over these amiable men of the bar, many of whom I knew personally to be very fair in their attitude to our race. Finally, a light dawned. A brilliant lawyer stood up to defend A Poem A Week LONESOME PLACE I got to leave this town It's a lonesome place. Got to leave the town cause It's lonesome place.

On every hand we hear of "difficulties" in apprehending members of the mob of assassins and butchers of Aiken county who once more disgraced their county, their state, the South and civilization. But the "difficulties" are far less than in tracing participants in a murder in which but two or three men are involved. In the Aiken butchery there were at least two score. Some of them can be discovered. They can be apprehended, indicted and tried. They can be tried in some other county, where their friends or fellow-murders would not get upon the jury. Even then they might not be convicted of the crime of woman-butchery, but the financial costs would be some penalty. To talk of "difficulties," to take the cowardly course of going the way of least resistance, will do two certain things—as certain as tomorrow's rising sun: First, it will stamp South Carolina's machinery for the enforcement of the law for the protection of life as "incompetent"; and second, having so branded our machinery, it will give to the advocates of a federal anti-lynching law the strongest arguments they could advance in its support. Already, as a result of this crime at Aiken, a Democratic member of congress from New York has begun agitation for the passage of such a law. Fail to earnestly, fearlessly, courageously hunt down and bring to trial these criminals, and the hands of honest patriotic Southerners who have been fighting federal interference in such cases will be weakened. The backbone of their argument is that the states can and will punish lynchers; take that argument from them by demonstrations of state impotence and they will have no solid ground on which to stand. This newspaper has stood unsurprisingly in defense of state rights—the right of the state to make and execute its laws; and as unsurprisingly we have stood against the encroachment of the central government upon those rights. But the state, to maintain its rights, must be jealous of them; it must maintain them by deeds, not words alone. If it permits its constitutional guarantees and sacred pledges to be trapped upon and violated, it cannot come into court with clean hands demanding to be maintained in its rights. Honest and patriotic defenders of state rights demand that those prerogatives be properly used; these defenders must not be forced to feel that fight against a law giving the federal government jurisdiction in lynching cases is merely a fight to shield murderers from certain punishment. The State must do its duty. The lynching in Aiken, was, aside from its brutality, peculiarly offensive to county and state. The three persons done to death were actually in custody of the court; during a recess of the court the sheriff was charged with their sufecoeping. It had been determined that on the day following, had the trial been permitted to proceed, the prisoners, if convicted, would have been immediately removed to the Columbia penitentiary? Why? To avoid a lynching. Yet, so far as officers have revealed, there was no fear of a lynching the night after the court had directed a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of one of the men previously convicted. Two determined guards in the jail could have prevented a crime against county and state, but they were not there. When the sheriff, summoned by the jailer, arrived at the jail—coming alone—the jailer opened the steel door to let him in, when members of the mob suddenly appeared, followed him in, seized both sheriff and jailer, and held them till others secured the prisoners. The sheriff fires his pistol twice, but without reported damage, except to a window glass. Decidedly, anglorious day for South Carolina's majestic law! Saturday, October 16, 1926 The Approaching Congressional Elections COURTEOUS SOUTHERN NEGROES The congressional election will take place in less than a month's time. There are no clearly defined issues before the electorate. The party that is in power is making a desperate effort to retain the reins of government, while the party out of power is making an equally desperate effort to snatch the reins from the adversary. PETER B. Where no real issues exist fictitious ones must be fabricated. The watchword of the administration is economy, but there is no division of sentiment here. Every American citizen approves the utmost economy in the administration of the government that is consistent with efficiency. Every body praises Mr. Coolidge for his economy program, but can find no basis of partisan advantage in this. The two parties are so hopelessly split on the League of Nations that it no longer forms a decisive issue. Even the World Court was put over by a bi-partisan vote. The tariff no longer divides the parties in fierce hostile array as it was want to do in the days of James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland. The Democratic cry of two years age—"turn the cals out"—like the spearmint on the bed post, has lost its flavor. The ku klux klan split the Democratic party in twain during the last presidential campaign, while the Republicans held their acquiescent peace and accepted their votes. But now the klan, of which it is of out of jail, has so honeycombed both parties that neither can point the finger of scorn at the other. * * * John Barleycorn seems to be the only factor that is left that arouses enough passionate interest to furnish a political issue. On all other great questions of public policy, it seems that the American people have all but reached a common mind. One might as well determine his party support by the tossing of a penny. The politicians have seized upon on the lively passion engendered by the prohibition discussion and fabricated it into a partisan issue. One interestingly recalls the famous remark of General Hancock, that "the tariff is a local issue." He was laughed off the political stage for the maladroitness of this remark. However, I think that every politician in the country will agree that prohibition is a local political issue. The Eighteenth Amendment was passed as a war measure. Both parties united in its adoption without one thought of partisan division or advantage. Those who voted for it had little enthusiasm for either the practical or the moral effect of the amendment. It was merely good form to advocate the measure at the time of its passage. But after several years of partial failure, the politicians are seeking to turn it into a political issue. There is little depth of conviction on either side. The crafty politician seeks to align his party on the side of the controversy that will secure the most votes. Geography is mainly the determining factor. The South is dry. So is the West. This is because these sections are mainly agricultural in character. The North and Middle West are generally wet. In other terms, the country is dry and the cities are wet. Temperature is the only moral issue in which the South has taken the lead in two gener- From the (N. Y.) Herald-Tribune A White Woman's Experience in Arkansas and North Carolina. My attention has been called to the statement made by Thelma Cuddin in your issue of September 11 that white women in the South dare not go unarmed out of calling distance from their homes for fear of Negro attack. I am a white woman. I have spent twelve years in the South, and should like to give a little personal experience that bears on this subject. Nine of the twelve years were spent in Miller county, in the southwestern corner of Arkansas, a few miles from Texarkana. Here I taught in three different rural schools and was acquainted with the families of my pupils in each of the three districts. As a good teacher should, I tried to know these people thoroughly and to be in harmony with them. Their ideas in regard to Negro people I accepted very readily, realizing that I had no personal knowledge of them. Yet I frequently walked a mile or more, unarmed and unattend- Dr. Kelly Miller sees the approaching of the congressional elections with no great outstanding issue before the electorate. He says one might as well determine his partisanship by the toss of a penny, since the principles have now for parties have now so much common and so little in division. Says Dr. Miller of the Republician party: "It has maneuvered itself on the unethical side of most of the great issues before the nation. It denies self government to the Phillipines. It opposed the League of Nations. It certainly cut a sorry figure in the awful charges of scandal and corruption in which the Government was involved two or three years ago. The grand old party has gained the political strength and support, of the Ku Klux Klan by, ploughing with its heifer. It has willingly yielded the moral advantage which gave it birth in the advocacy of the rights of the Negro." ations. This is due to the fact that it is an agricultural section and that it is still further complicated by the presence of two races. The open saloon arouses the worst passion of the worst element of both races and makes any harmony all but impossible. It is to be noted that the decline in lynching is synchronous with the operation of the Eighteenth Amendment. There is perhaps not a politician in the Republican party, on the head to the foot, who has any fixed conviction on the matter of prohibition as a clear cut moral issue or a sound political policy. Several Democratic leaders, who have been brought up and nourished on the unrestricted right of drink, at least seem to be consistent in their ardent advocacy of the modification or rescindment of the prohibition provision. --- One can recall that by slip the tongue, the phrase—"rum, Romanism and rebellion"—caused a famous statesman the presidency. The Republican party has always been the passive sponsors of temperance, while the Democratic party has stubbornly fought tumultuous laws as being in restraint of local and personal liberty. But today, it is only the city contingent of the democracy that is wet, while the rural contingent is dry. On the other hand the Republican party has about the same attitude on prohibition as it has on the ku klux klan. The grand old party has become morally bankrupt. It has allowed itself to be maneuvered on the unethical side of most of the great issues before the nation. It denies self-government to the Phillipine Islands. It opposed the League of Nations, the great moral adjustment of the international adjustment of the world's affairs. It certainly cut a sorry figure in the awful charges of scandal and corruption in which the government was involved two or three years ago. The grand old party has gained the political strength and support of the ku klux klan by ploughing with its heifer. It has willingly yielded the moral advantage which gave it birth in the advocacy of the rights of the Negro. It has raped the little sister Republic of Haiti. And now it is dilly-dillying with the great moral issue of temperance. O for the voice of a Charles Summer pointing out to the country the only basis for the true grandeur of nations and of parties; or for a George F. Hour to admonish that righteousness exalteth a nation or a party and that sin is a reproach to all who practice it. ed, along country roads without any fear whatever of Negro attack, and I know that the women of those Southern white families with whom I was acquainted did the same thing. More recently I lived for three years in Asheville, N. C. Here I began trying to understand the Negro people—interested, as any thoughtful person who thinks on the subject at all must be, in the great progress these people have made in a very few years of indifferent opportunity. I made the acquaintance of the secretary of the Negro branch of the Y. M. C. A. and of the editor of the local Negro newspaper. I was informed of concerts and lectures given by and for colored people and sometimes attended them alone and unarmed and without fear. Moreover, my friends (white women in the South) knew that I did so and had no fear for me. Some of these entertainments were held in the auditorium of the Negro Y. M. C. A., in Eagle street populated by colored people; some in the auditorium of By KELLY MILLER The Negro has dropped out completely as a political factor. The only reference which I have found in any state platform to the rights of the rapi is in that of the Democratic party of Massachusetts, which goes on record as opposing segregation of Negro employees of the government in the departments at Washington. The Negro, as such, has very little from which to choose. His only salvation consists in standing by the rightful principle of the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment along with that of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth and all other constitutional provisions. The Negro voter will best decide in favor of persons and principles rather than by party. But in all cases he should stand for temperance and law. Indeed with the Negro politics is a local issue. I see that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has advised colored voters to vote for those semenorial candidates who are in favor of the Dyer bill. Just why that good advice should be limited to candidates for the Senate I am at a loss to understand. If this bill or any other similar measure is to become a law, it must be passed by the House as well as by the Senate. It would be useless to commit every senator to this measure, if a majority of the House are not likewise committed to the same effect. We recall that this bill actually was pushed through the House in a previous Congress but failed ignominiously in the Senate. It might likewise pass the Senate and fail in the House. Indeed the party in power often plays politics with a given measure. It keeps the promise by passing a cherished measure through one house and breaks it by pigeon-holing it in the other. The two houses often pass the knowing wink. Nor need we take it for granted that because this bill at one time passed the House that it will be easy to do so again. If it is advisable for the race at this time to focus on the Dyer bill, the advice of the N. A. A. C. P. should be broadened. The Negro voter should query every candidate of both parties as to how he stands on this measure, and adjust his vote accordingly. I am sure that the N. A. A. C. P. will welcome this amendment to the proposition which it has sent out to the Negro voters of the country. * * * But aside from this bill calculated to prevent lynching, I am strongly of the judgment that the proper alignment on the side of law and order will bring great advantage to the race in the long run. It is hard to conceive how any self respecting intelligent Negro can allow himself, under any compliance, to be arrayed against the enforcement of the Constitution of the United States, in any of its parts or provisions. Let the Negro at least, uphold the law, to which he looks for salvation, although both Republicans and Democrats may deviate and dilly-dilly with the Constitution for temporary partisan advantage.

Hubert, Director of Agriculture and Director of Vocational Education at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has just been elected president of the Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah, Georgia.

Stevens-Loe, the Negro high school, on a very pretty hill but in a Negro and consequently an unpaved and poorly lighted district—a spot inaccessible on a rainy night to car or taxi. I remember one such night when I was obliged to inquire the way, and Negro people who did not know me and whom I did not know courtly piloted me thru mud and darkness. I never received from a Negro man or woman anything but the most perfectly courteous treatment, but I learned from the colored maids of the friend with whom I lived of a situation for which I wish we might find a remedy. These colored women are afraid to go on the streets alone after dark for fear of attack by white men. Most of the maids go home at night. They believe that they do not have as good police protection as do white women, and go home in groups. It seems to me that it is the colored, not the white, women of the South for whose safety we should be concerned. CARRIE K. BATTLET, M.D. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 30, 1926.
