Hit By Street Car
injuries he death resulted from injuries received when he was struck by an electric car on the Ocean View line Friday evening of last week. He expired Saturday morning in St. Vincent's hospital. It is believed that he had attempted to wave the car down at Oakwood to board it, when he misjudged his distance from the rails and stepped in the path of the moving trolley. Mr. Braye was the oldest teacher in point of service in the Norfolk county system. He had taught county schools for forty-two years during the last year in which he was principal of the Oakwood school. He was rounding up a half century of service in the schools, for he taught several years in Maryland before coming to Virginia. He was sixty-eight years old, and was a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D.C. Upon his death, Superintendent Hurst, of the county school system, said, "I regard him as one of leaders in educational work in this section and his place will be hard to fill. He could always be depended upon to take a leading part in any movements to improve education of those of his race." The funeral was attended by members of the Norfolk county school board and Superintendent Hurst. His remains were interred in Calvary cemetery.

Roanoke Court Quick To Resent Use Of Offensive Term
Roanoke, Va., Oct. 25—Judge John M. Hart of the Hustings Court, of Roanoke, on Thursday, October 21, rebuked Attorney Carlton Penn, white, of the city of Roanoke, for referring to Attorney Henry D. Dolphin, a prominent colored member of the Virginia Bar and president of the Old Dominion Bar Association, as "this nigger" during a heated debate in the Hustings Court.
Judge Hart imposed a fine of ten dollars before a protest was even made by Attorney Dolphin. As soon as the word was uttered proceedings were stopped by the court who said, "I do not allow anything like that, in my court, I fine you ten dollars, you had no right to make any such remark."
The altercation grew out of the case of C. E. Graham, white, against Wesley Poole et al, colored; the defendants were represented by Attorney Dolphin, and scored a decisive victory; it was during the argument on the merits of the case that Attorney Penn lost his head and manners. Judge Hart is widely known for his absolutely impartial attitude towards all those who are brought before him regardless of their rank, color or religion. He is a champion of unadulterated justice and is much beloved by the citizens of Virginia. The defendant was very impressed. The evidence in the city of Roanoke. In an interview, Attorney Dolphin said that he could not understand why he was assaulted in such a manner as he always entertained and accorded Lawyer Penn the respect to which he was justly entitled, and so far as he was concerned the matter is closed.

Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 28—In one of the greatest games of the C.I. A. A. season, the Pawning Panthers, of Va. Union, rose to the supreme test in the second half of a thrilling, closely contested and hard fought grid contest and pawed their way to a well-earned 10-9 victory over a team truly that struts under the mantle of the "wonder team," the Tigers of St. Paul, here last Saturday.
Without a doubt, few teams of the Colored Intreccollegiate Athletic Association have offered a better game this season and the victor came out of the fray with evidence of a hard battle.
evidence.
This year, St. Paul presents one of the best teams in the history of the school. They have a team that will make the going rough for the best that's in the offing. With such men as Byrd, Williamson, Williamson and Pierce carrying on like mad men, St. Paul has a collection of footballers of sterling worth. In the line play last Saturday, there was no question of Williamson's playing ability. He was into everything and figured largely in stopping the onslaught of the Union backs. But in the second half he was forced out of play on account of injuries received in making a tackle. Byrd for St. Paul played a wonderful game in the backfield and was responsible for most of the gains made by the Tiger clan.
Union Outplayed
Union was completely outplayed in the first two frames. Many plays were smeared before the got going and fumbles on part of the Panther squad contributed to off-color showing in these quar-
ters.
St. Paul outrushed and outtought Hucules' team and at every stage, the boys seemed baffled when St. Paul would romp for good distance. The Tigers made first downs in this half, while Union was collecting two.
Sees Opportunity For Gain In Civic And Economic Benefit
VOTE FOR FRIENDS
The Locomotive Engineers' Journal, Cleveland, Ohio, number uber, the Negroes race vote independently ancr "I will have immeasurably strengthened its importance in civil life." This labor organ declares that the race would do well to follow the admonition of Moorfield Storey, who has declared that "for Negroes there are neither Republicans or Democrats, only friends and opponents."
Says the Engineers' Journal: "For Negroes there are neither Republicans or Democrats, only friends and opponents, declared for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in an address to their 17th Annual Conference in Chicago. In this the man who during reconstruction days was Secretary to Senator Charles Summer and later president of the Bar Association follows closely in the footsteps of organized labor, which has repeatedly declined to be a tailor to either of the old party kites. The Negro vote has usually been counted in advance as an adjunct to the Republican ticket; but the race generally follows the pattern of its National Association it will have immeasurably strengthened its importance in civil life.
"The group whose support is predetermined is usually sheared of real weight in political conclaves, where the independents hold the whip hand. By cooperating politically with independent groups generally, the Negro will find his influence gradually heightened and a way paved for better economic conditions."

But the Panthers came around and came back strong in the second half and snapped the Tigers before them, collecting four first downs and a touchdown, while the St. Paul boys failed to annex another first down. Union romped, with Shields Cotton and McFarland bearing the brunt of the offensive drive under the direction of Breaux, who played a fine game in quarter. The Panthers did not walk at will. At every turn, they had to fight and batter their way to what advantages they gained. The Tigers forced Union to extend herself and made her work hard for every inch of ground gained. Neither team had a ciner. They played hard for everything they got and the team that showed the more concerted drive at the right time came on top of the heap when the smoke and din of tough conflict had died and wafhed off on the bleakness of a dark and cloudy afternoon.
Union Scores
In the second quarter, Byrd shot off tackle for 3 yards and St. Paul punted to Union's 35-yard line, Shields bring up for 15 yards. On the next play Motion was thrown for a slight loss, but, with Shields and Thompson working slowly and surely, worked down into St. Paul's territory and Breed dropped back to the 30-yard line and booted the ball up the uprights for a field (Continued on Page Five).

Grand Prizes in"Everybody Wins"Campaign Your's Yet
Candidates Pick Up Speed In First Week of Second Period Contest Free For All Yet
Picking up speed as they entered into the second period of the Journal and Guide's $3,500 "Every Wins" subscription campaign, the contestants set to it with unflagging interest and energy to win the handsome automobiles and grand cash awards. But the campaign has five weeks to run yet, and so far no contestant is too far in the lead to be overtaken by any other contestant who summons the most energy and go-to-it until the final tap: of midnight on November 27.
Several new candidates entered this week. Their chances are as good as the chances of those who started from the scratch, it all depending on the amount of effort put to win one of these excellent prizes. The second it is until November. It is during until November that the candidates are expected to set themselves definitive in line to bring home the "hacen." But it is thoroughly realized that in a campaign of this kind, the "hacen" is never assured until it is home and hung up. That means every contestant must work unceasingly until the very last minute. THERE IS NO TIME TO LET THEM GO AND new contestants and those who may yet detain them under the campaign have all the chances in the world to do so and win one of the big capital prizes.
Looking over the standing of the contestants as appears on page nine, it is seen that there have been some upsets in the past week. Eugene West, 1312 Church street, has forged ahead of W. M. H. Tatum, who held first place for the city at the last publication of the standing. West now has 300, 500 votes in his credit while Tatum votes him with 355,000. A. V. Rentz of Hale street, Lindenwood, still holds tencuency to third place in the city with 380, 000 votes.
Out-of-town still leads in the race, however, with H. S. Stanback, of the Commercial Bank, Wilson, N. C., setting the pace with 403,000 votes. Miss Moyle Robinson, of Delaware, is coming up so closely that one year's exception will put her in lead. She has 320,000 votes. But what's the use of enumerating them all? The contest is so close that nobody has a lead sufficient to rest on his laurels.
DuBois Returns From Europe
New York City - Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has returned to his office from a European trip of three months.

Dr. DuBois came back full of enthusiasm what the Russian people are trying to do and is going to write in THE CRISIS and lecture on the subject during the coming year.

PUTTING OVER THE
SOUTH'S BEST WEEKLY
Contestants In Subscription Campaign Inspired By High Motives.
Not only is enthusiasm at high pitch among the contestants in the Journal and Guide's "Everybody Wins" subscription campaign, but there is a fine spirit of unselfishness evident. Some of the leading contestants are inspired by a feeling of pride in the "South's Best Weekly" as well as a desire to win the big prizes offered. From numerous letters which the publishers have received during the past week, to following expressions are typical. From H. S. Stanback, Wilson, N. C.; I have been able to get subscribers because I believe in the Journal and Guide. I consider it a pleasure to canvass for it. My interest and activity will be still greater during the next periods.
From Miss K. Roselle Latimer, Law; encerville, V.n.: "I am still enjoying representing the Journal and Guide. I get very subscripts remarks from your subscribers concerning paper and feel that I shall be able to swell your subscription list if I don't win any of the prizes."
"Verily, a good name is greater than great riches."
From Edwards, Mississippi, camis this inquiry during the week: "I want to put a conservative, well edited weekly in our school library and your paper has been recommended by Dr. Moton of Tuskegee." Miss Mary E. Monahan, librarian.
WOMAN IN JAIL
TRIES SUICIDE
Norfolk city lock-ups are becoming a rudereous for Negro suicides, according to reports emanating therefrom in the past several months. These down-and-outs, non-designs and police circle characters seem not to have the nerve to end their wretched days until confined in the calaboose. In the past twelve months there have been two or three actual jail suicides among colored prisoners, according to reports, and last week another came near to being added to the list when Nellie Fullet 842 Wide Street, funeralized in her attempt to turn her life in the city jail to turnkey Salzberg before she succeeded in doing more damage to herself than bruising her neck. Nellie had been arrested earlier in the day on a misdemeanor charge and lodged in a cell. Shortly after midnight she was found by the turnkey in the act of trying to end it all. She had fastened her coat belt about her neck, it is reported. She was released from her self inflicted predicament, however, with no more injuries than a sore neck and a despondent feeling.

Monroe Morse, 503 Cumberland street, is being held in jail under $5,000 bond, which he has not been able to furnish, in connection with two dastardly rape crimes committed against two women in the city in the past week. He was arrested Wednesday morning by Officer Edmonds following an attack on a young South Norfolk woman, and is being held while the police seek to connect him with an attack on a 14 year old girl on Princess Anne road Friday morning.
The 14 year old girl who lives on Gordon avenue reported to the police that while she was returning from work in the Ghent section Friday evening at 6 o'clock she was criminally assailed by a colored man when she was abreast of the cemetery on Princess Anne road between Bank and Smith streets. The man, she said dragged her into the isolated spot along there and fendishly accomplished his purpose. She was as being a dark brown skinned man, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, weighing about 175 pounds and wearing dark clothes.
Another Woman Attacked
While the police were eagerly cooking a man bearing this description, a young South Norfolk woman on Wednesday morning pooled tea that she skipped on from home to Norfolk proper and had just crossed Berkley bridge she was accosted by a man when in front of a lane near Wavory avenue, who dragged her into the lane, threw her to the ground, pulled a pistol on her when she screamed and after subduing her proceeded to criminally assault her. Shortly after Monroe placed under arrest Officer Edmonds, a positively identified by the South Norfolk woman as her assault. The young woman succeeded in tearing off a piece of the trousers of the man who assaulted her and this piece of garment lead to the arrest and identification of Morse. Her assailant also robbed her of $8.00.

CUBA HONORS
NEGRO CAPTAIN
(By Associated Negro Prima)
Jacksonville, Fl., Oct. 25—In recognition of his services during the Spanish-American War as captain of the ship "Dauntless," smuggled many into the Cuban country, at the critical period, the Cuban government has awarded a badge of honor to Captain W. Floyd of 611 Clay street, this city. The ceremony in which representatives of the Cuban government participated, as well as a number of Americans who were honored along with Captain Floyd, took place at Key West, because of the fact that during the war Key West was the gathering place of many Cuban patriots who rendered inestimable service to the island country.
Captain Floyd is one of Jacksonville's most substantial citizens, and a leader in many of the civic activities of the city. His friends are showering congratulations upon him.
TO TRY GIRL FOR MURDER OF BOY
Bristol, Va.-Tenn., Oct. 25—A juvenile court judge here has held to the grand jury without bond Bertie Wise, a 14 year old white girl, who shot to death Richard Logan, nine.

Bert M. Roddy Visit The City On Tour Through State
B. M. Roddy, vice president of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, of Columbus, Ohio, vice president at-large of the Nation Negro Business League, spent some time in the city this week into viewing local business men encircling the program of the league as outlined and adopted at the last annual session in August.
Features of Program
Among the outstanding features of the league program for which the business men of the country are asked to contribute a budget for translation into definite, active service for every month in the year are:
First—A national organizer to travel, organize local leagues and strengthen leagues already organized. This field worker will be a man conversant with modern business systems and business promotion. His chief function in traveling will not be to be entertained by local leagues but to render service to them in helping their enterprises through increased efficiency and cooperative efforts. The league will pay his salary and expenses. The local leagues visited will not be charged a fee for this organizer's services.
Second—The league will undertake to nationalize and popularize National Negro Trade Week third newspaper and magazine articles and will invite the cooperation of the Association of National Advertisers and other establishings of the league. The league will employ every possible means to "sell" Negro business to the Negro and to America. Third—To obtain information and exchange business which will keep Negro businesses men on the country informed of business opportunities along their particular lines; maintain sources of information of business problems; names and addresses of trained workers who may be available for positions and list positions open in Negro establishments.
Fourth—To publish a monthly bulletin giving brief but comprehensive information of the league's activities and the unusual achievements of the race along business lines.
Fifth—Within the Himits of its resources, the league will seek competent and expert assistance in the delivery of a military Negro business enterprise.
$10,000 Budget Required
To carry out the above program a budget of $10,000 will be required and spent as follows: Salaries and travel, $5,500; clerical and stenographic hire, $2,000; stationery, miscellaneous and postage, $500.
Pledges may be paid in cash with subscription or on monthly or quarterly basis to suit the convenience of contributor. Checks should be drawn in favor of William M. Rich, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, and mailed to Albion L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Ala.
It is expected that as a result of Mr. Roddy's visit to this city the local league will be revived and become actively engaged in help, toward putting over the program; national Negro Business League serving as stimulus for local race enterprises. Mr. Rich, who is president of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, being treasurer of the National League, is already considering plans for reorganization of the local branch of the organization.
Mr. Roddy, who is himself a banker, having been formerly connected with the Solvent Savings Company, of Memphis, Tenn., expressed optimistic views over national Negro business conditions and prospects. He was particularly impressed with the status of Norfolk Negroes along business lines, and stated that he was confident that the business men of this city would not only do their part in underwriting the league's game but would once receive the local organization to function in alliance with the National League.
Mr. Roddy plans to interview the business men throughout the state and his itinerary as mapped out will take him to the following cities: Hampton, October 29; Newport News, Nov. 1; Petersburg, Nov. 3; Richmond, Nov. 6; Lynchburg, Nov. 8; Roanoke, Nov. 9; Cape Charles in attendance upon the Negro Organization Society annual meeting, Nov. 10-11; He will return to Norfolk for a two-day stay, Nov. 13-15, whence he will go to Daville for November 16.

Never throw away any lemon skins. Bake them in a modern oven until quite crisp, but not in the least burnt. When cold, graze and store in a well cooled bottle. A pinch in a milk pudding or a cake is a great improvement. One half teencoolful should be added to veal or fowl dressing. Having it ready for use saves time and trouble at a busy moment.

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER AGAIN
I am a girl 17 years old, and I have a friend going with me, the age of 19. He was going with me about six months. He says he loves me and I love him, but now he has gone to New York. Is it correct for me to go around with other boys or just go with my girl friends until he returns. There is a girl in the community that is jealous of him and is always having something to say about us, and laughing at me without a cause. He went with her at one time and stopped going with her to go with me.
Now Naomi, please tell me what to do, because it makes me feel sad for her to treat me this way without a cause. I hope to receive an answer soon.
D. A. B.
Dear D. A. B:
It will be alright for you to go around with other young men while he is gone, as you are too young to give all your time to one boy. It is but natural that the other girl should feel funny towards you, but there is no excuse for her to try and make you feel badly. I would continue to treat her nicely and maybe in time she will forget.
DON'T ATTEMPT A MONOPOLY
Dear Neomi:
I am deeply, in love with a second year high school boy. He has been very true to me for the last two years. Whenever in town he always comes to see me and gives me a very nice time. Just a few days ago he was home and he told me he would be home about 7:00 o'clock. Of course he came, but as I was going down town that evening about four o'clock, I saw him pass the street with another girl whom I think he cares for very much. I am not jealous, but you can imagine how I felt. I did not let him know how I felt about it, but since he knew that I saw him, he asked me to forgive him and even though he was with her that evening, he cares most for me. He has written to me since he has been in school and he says he doesn't think I will ever forgive him. Should I let him continue to go with me? To tell the truth I really love him. Well just what is your opinion about the matter?
1. Should a young man walk because two girls?
2. Is it good etiquette for a girl to send her young man friend at school a box of candy?
3. If a young man tells you that you look nice, what should you say?
4. When entering a theatre or church who should walk in front the boy or the girl?
5. Please name a few presents suitable to give a school boy.
6. When in a cafe who should make the order, the boy or the girl?
How can you tell when a boy loves you?
Dear Smiles:
There was no harm in the young man walking with the other girl, so why be so hard on him for that. Don't you know it is even wrong to try and keep a fellow from walking with another girl, because if he really wants you he will come back to you.
1. No, one the outside.
2. Yes.
3. Say, "I thank you for the compliment," or "Do you think so?"

Civil War Character Dies
(By Associated Negro Press)
Baton Rouge, La., Oct. 25.
Prairie Mitchell, 106, who, local tradition says, held the horses of Lee and Grant at Appomattox Court House in 1865, was buried here Saturday. Mitchell accompanied Gen. Zachary Taylor in the march on Mexico City, and his life was heard through the Civil War, first with the Confederates and later with the Federal Army. After the war, Mitchell became the "cadet band" leader at the Louisiana State University. The funeral was largely attended by both white and colored citizens.

N.C. AGGIES PREPARE TO MEET STRONG FOE
Greensboro, N. C.-Conch Byrne is taking his tenacious Bulldogs through the most rigid training of their experience, to meet Coach Hudes Panthers here on the gridiron of Dudley Field, October 30th in one of the most crucible battles of the season's schedule in which great strategy will be employed by these evenly matched teams. Savage attacks will be waged offensively, and defensively, winning will be decided upon only by the team using the most craftiness as both have good half back, brilliant quarterbacks, and formidable lines.
Albion Swamps Dillard
Albion swamps Dell
Franklinton, N. C., Oct. 28. Albion academy eleven swamped the Dillard team, of Goldshoop, by a score of 32-0. The Spiders were masters throughout the game and Dillard did not have a chance to tally.
Albion made twenty-seven first downs, against Dillard's one.
Morgan Beats Annapolis A. C.
Baltimore, Md., Oct. 28—The Morgan College "Grizzly Bear" stamped the strong team representing the Annapolis Athletic Club here Saturday on Morgan's athletic field by a score of 27-0. Despite the battle put up by both squads, it was a game of breaks. Annapolis showed real form in the first half, holding the collegians scoreless.
Morris Brown
Defeats Clark
Atlanta, Ga.—In one of the most thrilling games ever seen on Morris Brown Field before a crowd on 3,000 frantic spectators. It was glorious victory for the Morris Brown Whirlwind, being the first game the gridders have won in two years from a conference foo. The game was slightly marred by the large crowd surging upon the field.
Clark Panthers elected to receive and marched to the Whirlwind's 15 yard line where Baker kicked a drop kick for the Panthers' only tally.
"Bull" Williams was the outstanding star of the game, hitting the line from his own 20 yard line for 80 yards and a touchdown gaining from two to ten years on each play. Stavens played a great game at quarter, selecting the plays that gained. Sanders was a demon in center smashing every play directed his way, Bailey, Webster, and Warren were the next in order for praise in the line.
Raleigh, N.C.—Washington High School Team wins tightly contested game against Christian College by score of 7-0. The first half was really a punting duel between the two teams. Baker of Washington High School and Taylor of Christian College made the leading gains in the first half of the game.

Bisons Gore Yellow Jackets
Washington, D. C., Oct. 28—The much feared West Virginia "Yellow Jackets" from Institute, West Virginia, came to Washington and fought a desperate uphill battle against the Howard University "Bisons" in the Howard Stadium, Saturday, October 23, and was defeated by a score of 14- to 6.
The first half was all Howard's, the "Bisons" romping away with thirteen first downs and two touchdowns to the visitor's meager two first downs. But in the second half the "Yellow Jackets" came back with blood in their eyes, held Howard to three first downs and opened an aerial attack which netted them the first touch down that has been scored against Howard in two years.
Coles, the "Bisons" plunging quarterback, scored all of Howard's 14 points, while Hundley, West Virginia's halfback, scored for the "Yellow Jackets" on a 25 yard run after catching a forward pass from Johnson, right half.
It was a hard, fast game with plenty of overhead work to add excitement. The "Mountainer," however, were too slow in getting on the aggressive and the "Bisons" in that slaughterous first half took the game awaww.
Turner with his punts and passes and Gaiters with his defensive work played well for the visitors, and Simpson, V. Smith, Cotes and Young starred for the victors.

points. But in this department
St. Paul is not far behind, if any.
We expect a break to decide the
contest.
J. C. SMITH-VA, SEMINARY
at Lynchburg.—There is little need
of experting on this game. Semi-
nary will go into the contest the
top-heavy favorite. The Deacons
should not find it so difficult to
register one or two touchdowns.
The Deacons are voted the heavy
edge and should roll by with something before it is all over.
UNION-A. & T. at Greensboro.—Here's where we will have another tussle of class, with Union carrying the advantage in speed and craftiness. The Pawing Panthers have nothing to conceal the Aggies. These boys will make the red and steel machine play for all its worth, but Union should get on tally at least. Not because she is any particular favorite, but she seems to present the cloven with the edge.
Both have worthy back fields. With Coleman, Bell and one or two others, A. and T. has an array of hard crashing backs. In Shields, McFarland. Moton, Breaux and Cotton, Union has a fast stepping set of backs that will run on the best of them. We say Union.
SHAW-VA. NORMAL at Raleigh. Here we will have another battle of the cellar boys. They're both laying snug at the bottom, with the Raleigh boys holding down the exegete point.
This is the Hilltopppers only chance of getting even with Shaw. In past years, it has seemed that Shaw has always had enough left to defeat Petersburg, regardless of games lost to other teams, but this season, it seems that Va. Normal will get even and come out on ton in the affair.
And In The East!
HOWARD-FISK at Washington,
The Bisons will take the Tennesse
lads without much squabbling.
Howard seems to be, at least, two touchdowns strong or
than the Fisk eleven and she
should come out of the fray with
colors tying high.
Howard, this year, seems to have another of those good teams with a first line defense that carries plenty beef. She has an eleven that is composed of many veterans, not vetreans of Howard, but they vets just the same. These men that comprises Howard's eleven this year, are men of experience and they should not be long tallying on Fire when things got going.
LINCOLN-TUSKEGEE at Philadelphia.--At this juncture in this bit of experiting, one must use his head. One cannot be guided solely by precedent.
The East is better than the South, so many have claimed.
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE on Steam R PETERSBURG WAGES PA GAME TO LITTLE ADVAN
PETERSBURG WAGES PASSING GAME TO LITTLE ADVANTAGE
Petersburg, Va., Oct. 23—Hampton won a decisive victory from Petersburg on McKenzie Field today only after a display of rare football skill. The Petersburg eleven went down fighting with its passing game, 31-7 before a different Hampton team than the one that played two Saturday before. The backfield had plenty of speed and drive. The line became a brick wall in the time of need.
The Petersburg eleven showed plenty of spirit up through the first half, but after the first touchdown in the second half the team's spirit seemed to wane. The line was very good on the defense. Bad passes from the center caused many costly fumbles throughout the entire game. In the early part of the first quarter, Hampton received the ball on Petersburg's 30 yard line and Elmer Baker made the first points, sending the pigskin through the uprights for three points. Not long after that Hampton again received the ball down in Petersburg's territory and Williams slipped off tackle for 15 yards and a touchdown. Baker kicked the extra point.
The other scores were made by Lee, who grabbed a fumbled ball and ran 25 yards for a touch-

goal, drawing first blood. From this point, until the half ended, it seemed that Union would not get another score, but the second half brought a change, and when the Pawing Panthers launched their offensive drive, at the very beginning of the half, they launched it with a vim.
They drove and charged, only being stopped momentarily, until the ball was worked within striking distance and Bieaux carried it over on a line thrust. The extra point was given to Union when St. Paul was offside on the attempt to annex the extra counter.
Union's touchdown came in the final quarter, when she had the Tigers down in their territory and they punted to Union. Shields bringing the ball to their 12-yard line. The Panthers were under the shadows of the opposing goal and they sensed another tally. The big guns were brought into play and a verticable bombardment was began, with St. Paul becoming wobbly under the consistent attack. McFarland lead off, getting one yard. Shields followed with 1 1-2 and Breaux made a short pass to Cotton good for 4 more yards and first down, placing the ball on St. Paul's 3 1-2 yard line. Taking the ball on the next play, Breaux yanked the ball over for the touchdown.
In the few remaining minutes to play, St. Paul fought hard to get something, but the safe playing of Union and the shortness of time prevented the Tigers from countering. On a series of exchanges in printing, Union sent one behind St. Paul's goal and the game ended. Rowan Smith, former star cen-
This has been evidenced on many occasions, but now, the superiority of the East is threatened and the East will find a worthy challenger of Eastern superiority in the Tuskegee Tigers.
When the Lincoln Lions enter into combat with the heralded Southern aggregation, they will have their hands and paws full. The Tigers are coming and they are coming strong and it will be all Lincoln can do to offset the attack of Abbott's vicious eleven.
In this game, we fear the price of the East is doomed and her ego will be badly shaken up.
This will be a game, no doubt, but Tuskegee hoops the best and we expect her to roll by with something to spare.
It seems that Lincoln's host is not enough for the Southern squad and before the clouds of night steal across the sky, Tuskegee will be on top of the pile. Lincoln will be lucky to score.
MOREHOUSE-CLARK at Atlanta—These eleven will play about even with neither having much advantage over the other.
ATLANTA-TALLADEGA at Talladega—Talladega will take the Crimson Hurricane of Atlanta and will roll by with a tally.
TENNESSEE STATE-KNOXVILLE COLLEGE at Nashville. Knoxville seems to have the edge over the State eleven and will come out on top of the heap.
MORRIS BROWN-ROGER WILLIAMS at Nashville—Morris Brown will romp on Williams and come out on the long end of a short score.
Huston Tramples On Foe Austin, Texas, Oct. 28—Samuel Husten trampled over Prairie View by a score of 31-6 on Culberson field last Friday, when the crimson eleven outplayed the heavy Prairie View team in every department making four touchdowns and one field goal. This is the first crimson victory over the purple machine in several years.

FORMER B. T. BOYS WITH PEABODY SQUAD
John and Lloyd Williams, former stars of the Fighting Bookers have been successful in making the first team of the Peabory High School of Pittsburgh, where they are living with their father, Rev F. W. Williams, and attending school.
John was the 1925 captain of the championship team of Booker Washington high school and was captain-elect for 1926. He played a steady and consistent game on end for the Fighting Bookers.
Lloyd, who played in the backfield, was one of the fastest men the Bookers had.
There is only one other colored youth on the Peabody eleven, William Davis, Davis and Lloyd are playing half back on the team, while John is holding down his favorite position, end.
In a communication from these boys, they say they attribute their success in making the team, to the wonderful coaching received here with the Fighting Bookers under Owen A. Wilson.
Williams Lodge Go To No Score
Richmond, Va., Oct. 28—Williams Lodge of Elks, formerly the Adelphia Social Club was held scoreless by the I. P. E. A. eleven here last week. The I. P. E. A. team was successful in rushing the ball to the five yard line of the Elks, but the latter team held for downs and took the ball over and punted up the field. The Elks were outplayed in the first half, but the Bills were able to come back strong in the next two periods.

Ward's 50 - Yard Run Gives 'Force' Win Over Lincoln
Ward's 50 - Yard Run Gives 'Force' Win Over Lincoln
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 28—Wu Fang Ward, rising to the test, leaped into the air and grabbed a pass made by Young, of Lincoln and raced 50 yards for a touchdown running his team to a 7-0 victory over the Lions.
Lincoln and Wilberforce had battled desperately and furiously, with neither seeming to be able to score, until Young's pass was intercepted by Ward.
Ward was the main cog in the Wilberforce machine, but despite his efforts, Wilberforce was unable to seriously threaten the Lincoln goal. 'Force showed more aggressiveness and kept the Lions in their own back yard most of the time. Hilber, on running up a punt for good distance and Motley's dash off tackle for much yardage, was the only time Lincoln passed the 50 yard line down in Wilberforce's territory.

Landis Bars The Majors,So Giants Take White Sox
Los Angeles, Calif. Oct. 28—The opening of winter baseball here last Sunday was rather a synthetic one when Lonie Goodwin's imported baseball talent, the Philadelphia Royal Giants romped away with the first game of the winter without much exertion. However their competition was not the strongest, being a team of home boys instead of the major league and world series stars as planned. The Royal Giants won 8 to 3.
When making plans for the Winnior League opening, Joe Picrona manager of the major league All Stars, neglected to observe that the Pacific Coast League was still in session until he received the Judge's wire that major league players could not pastime in Coast league territory until the end of the season. Now that the season is officially closed the major leaguers will start playing this Saturday and Sunday.

N. A. C.'S HANDILY ROUT FAST ROANOKE ATHLETIC CLUB 20-0
The garnet clad Norfolk Athletic Club, ran, charged and passed to a 20-0 victory over the snappy Roanoke Athletic Club here last Monday at League Park.
The Roanoke team showed a brand of football that was not expected when the eleven lined up before the local eleven. The entire first quarter was played scoreless, with the Norfolk A. C. seeming unable to get together. A number of fumbles were made in this period and the boys experienced difficulty in snapping into it, but the second frame found them welded together and started a drive that netted the first score of the game.
On a series of plays, the ball was worked down into Roanoke territory and Pat Thornton, playing his first game of the season, was called back to carry the ball over. He crashed at the right side of the visitor's line and feel over, Hill annoying the extra point via a drop kick. N. A. C. displayed a better game than was in evidence in Newport News last week, when the "Y" downed her in the last few minutes of play. In this game here, Roanoke seriously treated to tally only once, when a long pass was completed and the runner passed everybody but the safety man. From this point, Norfolk A. C. held the boys in check. The visiting eleven kept the lads baffled with their fake plays and forward passes, but N. A. C. was successful in getting behind the line and smearing up a number of them.
Norfolk A. C. scored again in the third quarter, when Bob Tolliver, substituting for Billups, grabbed a pass out of a cluster of men, which was good for 40 yards and a touchdown. West made the extra point with a drop kick.
At no time, but the first quarter, did Norfolk seem unable to take the measure of Roanoke A. C. At every stage, they outfought their opponents, making a total of 6 first downs to Roanoke's 2.
The entire visiting clown played a strong and fast game, never losing hope of catching up with the lead established by the home team. But at every charge, they were checked and forced to punt out of danger.
In the fourth stanza, Bob Tolliver, coming in the backfield, made another tally from serim mage formation. Whitehurst attempted a forward pass to make the extra point, but failed.
Everybody in the N. A. C. backfield ran true to form, with the running of Hill and the line bucking of Chamberlain featuring on the offense. The taking out of players by Gordan proved to be another feature in the offensive drive, of the locals. Many times he made it possible for the runner to get good distance by putting up a neat piece of interfering. Next week, find the Norfolk

Savannah Citizens Welcome Hubert To State College
Savannah Citizens Welcome Hubert To State College
Savannah, Ga., Oct. 29—More than 150 business, religious, and professional leaders among Savannah colored people met last night, at the Savannah Home Association club room to welcome in a banquet President B. F. Hubert to the Georgia State College, and to the city of Savannah.
Rev. E. G. Thomas, pastor of the First Baptist Church, colored, was master of ceremonies, and in a happy address described the peculiar fitness and preparation of the new President.
Others on the program were "Welcome on Befah of the Negro Banking Interests," by R. A. Harper, cashier of the Wage Earners Bank; "On Befah of the Negro Insurance Companies, Walter S. Scott, president of the Guaranty Life Company; "On Befah of the Fraternal Orders," S. A. Jones, secretary-treasurer Knights of Pythons of Georgia, colored; "On Befah of the Physicians," Dr. F. S. Belecher; "On Befah of the Association of Teachers," O. H. Lee, head of mathematics Cayler High; "On Befah of the Younger Set," E. A. Scabrook; "On Befah of the Churches," Rey S. D. Ross.
Responding to the various addresses President Hubert said in part: "I come to Savannah in the interest of a greater State College, a college that shall serve every interest of our state in the largest and most faithful way, a college that shall take no steps backward, a college that shall command among its faculties the ripest, best trained and most intelligent men and women of the race, a college that shall win and hold the loyal enthusiastic support of all right-thinking upstanding men and women whether they be white or black. This is a man's job, and my job, and your job. Let's work together for a greater college serving a greater Savannah and a greater Georgia."
Rape Fiend Active Again, Is Belief
Continued from page 1)
Detective Nowitzky, who is leading the investigation in these crimes, states that he is determined to break up these attacks of raps and attempted rape committed in the past year against colored women. If he should be able to connect Morse with both offenses, he expects to send him to the chair, or even if he succeeds in securing a conviction in the South Norfolk case, he thinks it will be pretty tough on Morse.
Mr. Nowitzky, in talking with a Guide reporter, stated that he is of the opinion that most of these attacks as reported to the police have been committed by the sam-person, and that person he is exhausting all of his energy to apprehend.
Both of the young women attacked are mere girls.
BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH
Although the attendance was somewhat lessened last Sunday on account of inclement weather, those who were present at Bethlehem were well paid for having come. The pastor, Rev. R. L. Harris, preached from the subject, "God's Care For His Church," Isaiah 49:16. He said in part that it sometimes appears that falling away of people from the church indicates that God does not care for the church but when one read Isaiah 45:16, which says, "Behold I have graven the upon the paths of my hands," one is convinced that God does care. At 2 p.m. the funeral of Mrs. Griffin, Princess Anne road, was solemnized, with the pastor officiating. The evening service was helpful. Psalms 28:6 was the text of the discourse. On next Sunday afternoon at 5:30 clock the Royal Diadem Literary and Social Club will render an interesting program. The public is invited to attend.

Reports Haiti Now Is Peaceful And Prosperous
(President News Service)
San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 21—The Island of Haiti, once a bored of revolution has been converted into a peaceful and prosperous republic under American direction, according to Dr. Eloe Wood Mead, of Berkeley, Calif., commissioner of rechallenge, who has just returned from a visit there.
In the past year the public debt was reduced $2,500,000 and public in one increased $12,000,000. Dr. Mead advised in a letter to the Secretary of the Interior.
High tribute to the officials who have been responsible for bringing about this condition was paid by Dr. Mead. Among these officials were President Louis B. Borna; W. W. Cumberland, financial adviser; Commander P. H. Cooke, U. S. N. public works; Dr. C. S. Butler, sanitary engineer; and Knowles Ryerson, lance of Agricultural technology.
The reason said that the first task was to bring honesty and efficiency into the administration of the Haitian Government. The next step was to create conditions which would make beautiful and orderly living possible. According to Dr. Meud, Per-Au-Prise is as clean and sanitary as as beautiful as Washington, D.C.

Lynnburg, ca—The Phyllis
Wheaty Branch of the Y, W. C.
A is beginning to realize its plam-
tle program, see the fall.
The various committees are continuing to live, breathe and carry on past activities and even step forward to explore new fields of service. The usual hosiery milt service under the chairmanship of Mrs. Washington began on October 19th. On Friday night before the 10th a lovely panty shower was given in the interest of this committee. Although the attendance was not an overdoing one, an appreciable amount of groceries was realized. A lovely evening of fun followed by a repast also add much toward a pleasant evening. The service of this committee is really two-fold. Through its service twice weekly they are able to serve 100 or more girls in an industrial plant with hot soup and pies. And as a minor service the committee is at the same time increasing its budget.
The Community Study Committee with Mrs. Weeden as chairman have some wonderful plans on the way for community improvement. Although a new committee has with the present outlined program of community problems great results are expected.
One of the successful financial efforts of the month was the one launched by the Girl Reserve Committee. The chairman, Mrs. Reid is wide awake in planning for the financial interest of the committee. She is well supported by her energetic club leaders who rally to every Girl Reserve effort, and thus make possible the success of their program.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
Phi Beta Sigma Open at Meharry
Nashville, Tennessee, Oct. 27—At the opening of Meharry Meharry Medical College on October 1, of this year another home was added to the number of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity homes which are located in the various cities throughout the country. The new home which was purchased by the Kappa Chapter (located at Meharry) is the capstone of fraternity houses among Negroes in America. It is located at 1230 Second Avenue, South, one of the most exclusive residential sections in the city, and in the advantage of being only two block from the campus. The property was formerly a mansion of Southern asistency.
The estate which was bought for $20,600 includes a three story and basement back structure, with long front, elevator, back and side porches, a spacious front lawn enclosed by an iron fence, a large black wood, and a garage large enough to accommodate the cases of the occupants. The building is modern in every detail. The rooms are spacious and comfortably accommodate four men. One room is reserved for a guest chamber. The living room, dining room and kitchen are also of considerable size. The first two being sufficiently large for any social function the future might bring. The lights are gas and electricity and the heat is furnished by hot air furnace. The floors are all hard wood and the walls are draped with beautiful designs.
Already the building is filled to its capacity with members of the fraternity. Such a home is greatly needed in a city like Nashville to house the men of the fraternity who are taking their profession at Mehray. For a small cost they can get the luxuries of home, have companionship of their fellow latters and not be forced to live in neighboring rooming houses. In addition to the dining room which is already open; a laundry, barbershop, and billiard room will be opened at an early date. The fraternity is leaving no stones unturned in seeing that its members have every comfort that can be given a student.
18 at Court Street Church was a grand success. Each club contributed one number to the program, with other musical selections and readings programmed between, $12 was realised.
Each Sunday from 5 o'clock to 6 there is a delightful program at our Vesper hour. Those who have served as speaker, Rev.

Associate
For thirty years Dr. Moorland has been engaged in Y. M. C. A. educational and religious movements among our people. He has given counsel, material assistance and inspiration to scores of young men, many of whom have made fine records as leaders in various good movements. His gift of a library to Howard University, known as "Moorland Foundation," is one of that institution's most valued treasures. It contains many rare volumes, some not even to be found in the Congressional Library. Dr. Moorland is a representative of the Real Estate Firm of Mercer Davenport in Brooklyn, and in the words of Moorland to Esther when urging her to appeal to King Ahasuerus that the Jew be not slain, we repeat, "Who beowth whether the art come to the Kinked for such a time as this?"

DAUGHTER OF DR. CHAS. S. MORRIS TO GO TO AFRICA
Miss Ruth Morris. Young Woman Evangelist. To Visit Mission Field
Miss Ruth G. Morris, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Chaves S. Morris, formerly of this city, is to sail for Africa on December next on a temporary missionary and evangelical tour.
Miss Morris is well known in Norfolk, having come here with her parents as a small child in 1911. She has a large circle of friends here who have always esteemed her highly.
Her career has been quite an unusual one for a young woman, she having successfully conducted large evangelistic campaigns in many of the leading schools and colleges of the South, and in a number in the East and West. She has very ably assisted her father in some of his church campaigns, doing particularly effective work in Toronto, Canada. On a recent tour through the South, Miss Morris led more than one hundred men and women to Christ, and witnessed a score or more who offered them clives as student volunteers for service in foreign lands. This young woman states she has long felt the call to Africa, but because of an invalid mother, has been unable to accept service under a foreign mission board.
She is now going out on a temporary missionary and evangelical tour, stopping first in the French and British Saadan, and then spending most of her time in Liberia, where she will be collaborator with one of Norfolk's choicest missionaries, Miss Saraan C. Williamson, who is or will with doing such noble work at Suehan, Liberia. Miss Williamson has captivated the hearts of all who have known her by her unselfish service and thorough conservation. Friends of both Miss Williamson and Miss Morris feel that they will make a splendid team on this West African field. Because of her mothers' invalidation Morris is going out for an indefinite period of service at the suggestion of Rev. Dr. J. E. Last, of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. She will give her service without expense to the board, because she is not sure of being able to remain for the full term of service.
Miss Morris expects to be in Norfolk during November on her way East in a farewell tour before sailing.

This edifice was constructed under the direction of Rev. R. K. Garrett about six years and has been without a congregation and congregation members moved out several months ago. It is reported that the St. Peter's congregation hopes eventually to become the owners
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
CHILD NEEDED IN THE HOME, SAYS PASTOR
A practical and illuminating sermon was preached by Dr. G. W. Watkins on "The Family Circle" at the morning service at Bank Street, Sunday. The text considered was from 2 Kings, 5:28; "Run now, I pray these, to meet her. Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child?" And she answered, "It is well."
Dr. Watkins discussed the origin and the foundation of the benevolent in which he declared love to be chief cornerstone of the family structure. The family circle should be built up, first by the uniting of one man and one woman for a life time tie and the scriptures teach that the two shall be one flesh. It follows, therefore, that the interest of one would necessarily be the interest of the other. With regard to the well being of the husband the wife should be interested in the husband's welfare, in all that pertains to his labor and be an inspiration and encouragement. And another hand, the husband should be the support and protection to the wife and from the scriptural idea put before him, he should be the priest of the house and its head. Every family should have an altar of prayer and the father should lead in the devotion around the family altar. With regard to the child—In the first place, the child is the gift of God. It is God's plan to perpetuate the human family through children. Nothing can take the place of children in the home. No pet cat or pet bulldog can take the place of the child in the family circle. The duty of the parents toward the child—The parents should teach children a moral lesson, be equipped for life, race than their parents. They should be given religious training and a nurture. The child, in turn should honor the parents and obey them. The church being a divine institution does at all times stand for this principle and, therefore should be supported ally by parent and child. In the evening Dr. Watkins presided on "A Broken Family Circle."
Dr. R. H. Walker, noted evangelist, who has been conducting a series of meetings throughout Tidewater, Va., for the past five months will deliver his last public utterance. Tuesday evening, November 2, at Second Calvary Church, preparatory to leaving this section for an extended tour through the Southern States. Rev. Walker, an acknowledged force for moral uplift during the time he has remained in Tidewater, has received the commendation of church people everywhere for his valued services as an evangelist of power. At the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Tidewater, which convened last Monday, Rev. O, C. Jones, of Mt. Herman Baptist Church, introduced a resolution to the effect that the conference go on record as being favorably impressed with the work of Dr. Walker during his stay here.
During the months Rev. Walker has ministered in this section, he has filled the pubilc of every large and important church throughout Tidewater, besides many smaller ones. The public at large has felt the impulse of his splendid preaching manifested in the constant demand to have him deliver his message whenever it was possible to secure him. An elaborate programme is being arranged to make the farewell reception go smoothly the since date worthy of lasting remembrance. Prominent elergeny of Norfolk and vicinity will take part on the occasion referred to. The public large join in wishing Dr. Walker every success during his sojourn in the far South.
The pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond, read for the scripturist lesson the 51st chapter of Isaiah, after which he very eloquently spoke from the 49 Psalm, showing how a soul is saved only through the blood of Jesus. He brought in a very impressive comparison of a tender of a draw bridge closing it and saving many souls from perishing and allowing his sea who had fallen overboard to drown in order to save others.
The Union Council is still in progress and many persons are being converted.

RAISE $3,500 ON PASTOR'S 35TH BIRTHDAY
First Baptist Goes Over The
Top With $3.571.46 In
Thirty-Day Effort
"Over the top" was the glad cry heard from many lips at First Baptist Church last Sunday night as the pastor announced the grand total raised in the church's thirty-five hundred rally. Asked wild handclapping, the final figures announced $83,571.46 was the result of a month's tiring swork and prayer on the part of the memorials, many outsiders also contributed toward the success of the effort. Jews and Gentiles, white and colored, Baptists and non-Baptists, had a part in the rally.
Gigantic Cake
One of the drawing cards for the final night's service was a large birthday cake presented to the pastor by a committee of thirty-five ladies. The cake was nearly six feet long and more than two feet wide. It was beautifully decorated with white and pink beading and occupied a central position on the platform where it could be seen by every person present. Scores of children sat in the service awaiting sight of this sixty pound good. When required all children with and the ladies had brought in the cake and taken seats on the platform, thirty-five children seven years of age filled in and presented thirty-five candles and bade with which to further decorate the cake.
Honor Workers
The candles were placed in position by Mr. James H. Hughes representing the chair, which led the group compared of boards and departments of the church, Mrs. Julia Dodson Folk having reported $101.50 for her individual team division was now called forward to light the candles. At this point Mrs. Mary N. Grys was attributed individual umbrella was asked to cut the edge, as she could cut the slices, the committee of thirty-five ladies wrapped them in sided paper and distributed them to the eager hundreds who surged down the aisles.
Funds Sorely Needed
The pastor, Rev. Richard H. Bowling, say that the raising of this amount of money at this time was in response to his church's dire need. Said he, "Contributing largely to missions, education and many outside charities, in addition to running a Home for the Aged, has been quite a strain upon our organization. As a result we had got back considerably in our accounts with business firms and had many notes in the bank. Even now we could well use five hundred dollars more to good advantage. After meeting certain presiding notes and loans and reasonable payment other open accounts, we will lack fully five hundred dollars of the amount for setting up our Church Home for the Aged grocery accounts. I am hoping that the members and friends of my church will add this much to their previous gifts at the services this Sunday."
Thanksgiving Service
A great thanksgiving service is being planned for this Sunday night at 7:30. At this time the pastor will preach a special sermon, stereoception views of the church's work and leading workers will be shown, and a special season of prayer will be observed. Another special feature of the service will be the singing of two collections by a children's chorus of thirty-five voices. The final rally reports will precede the regular service.

VIRGINIA MASONS OUTLINE
PLANS FOR THE YEAR
Second Annual Communication Marked By Harmony And Bright Outlook.
(Special Correspondence)
The second annual grand communication of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Virginia, Incorporated, convened at Bethel A. M. E. church, Oncancec, Vn., Tuesday evening, October 12, and continued in session through Thursday. The session was called under "sow six" with S. T. Collins of Ecclesiastical Oncancec, churchful grand master, presiding. After a short session, the grand lodge was called off for the public meeting, scheduled for seven-thirty o'clock. C. H. Ewell, deputy grand master, served as master of ceremonies, and the following program was rendered.
Singing, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," congregation; (twenty-third Psalm repeated in concert; Scripture reading, the Rev. D. W. Baker; invocation, J. B. Matthews; selection, O. For a Closer Walk With God; Bethel A. M. E. church choir; welcome to Omnock, Rev. D. W. Baker; response, Attorney R. H. Price; singing, "America," congregation; welcome on behalf of the church, Mr. I. D. Chandler; welcome on behalf of the church, Mrs. Sarah G. Ewell; solo, "Heard the Savior Calling," little Miss Deso Collins; vio. Mrs. M. S. James and others; address, Prof. U. G. Wilson, principal of Tidewater institute; offerory, benediction.
Wednesday morning the grand lodge got down to the business of the session, which was dispatched with clockwork precision. Matters materially affecting the future of Prince Hall Masons in Virginia were given due consideration, and elaborate arrangements perfected for informing the craftsmans in all sections of the State of the principles for which the organization stands—all the landmarks and traditions of Ancient Craft Masonry.
During the afternoon session encouraging remarks were made by T. J. Pree, Grand Master (collins, and others, who spoke on the advisability of securing a permanent location for the grand lodge. When the vote was taken on this subject, Newport News was decided upon as the most logical place for the "Grand East." Plans for the successful consummation of the proposition are rapidly going forward. The next step is the affairs of the order for the next twelve months are:
C. H. Ewell, most worshipful grand master; T. J. Pree, deputy grand master; Ellison Parker, senior grand warden; J. Henry Diggs, junior grand warden; L. H. Finney, grand treasurer; L. M. Strumbling, grand secretary; senior grand deacon, E. M. Connouz; junior grand deacon, William H. Moore; grand lecturer, C. H. Ewell, T. J. Pree, and Isaac Johnson; grand attorney, R. H. Pree; grand auditor J. A. Washington; grand complain, V. M. Courtney; grand marshall, L. T. Finney, grand pursuitor, L. T. Finney, Alest, Sports, junior grand steward, J. T. Warren; grand tiler, L. W. Trechner; Past Grand Master Collins, who so successfully guided the craft through the first two years of its existence, was unanimously voted
a past grand master's jewel, the same to be presented at the next annual grand communication, which will be held in the historic city of Williamsburg in October, 1927.
Thursday found the representatives working ardently to wind up the business of the grand lodge preparatory to the banquet which was to mark the conclusion of the session under the auspices of the local committee.
A most important matter called to the attention of the grand lodge was the position assumed by members of the grand chapter Order of the Eastern Star in regards to members and relatives of Prince Hall Masons, an edict, it is said, having gone forth that they are not to be received as members. The opinion was expressed that this is a move made on the part of some persons to intimidate and discourage those affiliated with Prince Hall ground lodge. As a result of a conscientious discussion of the situation, a committee was named to take the matter under advisement and make all necessary arrangements to protect the interests of the men of this organization that they are already being mapped out by this committee, and announcement will be made during the fiscal year.
The report of Grand Master Collins elicited much enthusiasm. It showed that splendid progress had been made during the past twelve months; the membership is rapidly increasing, and prospects are very bright for greater gains this year. Satisfaction was expressed on all rides at the results of the mainly stand taken for the revival of the principals of Freemagery in the Old Dominion in the face of adverse criticism and other untoward acts which the members have been forced to face.
The grand lodge voted to use the columns of The Newport News Star as one of the bodies of pressure upon the craft in this State, and thus acquaint them with the principles for which they are contending, and at the same time, clear up the false position in which they have been placed by her enemies.
A pleasing feature of the session was the report on the incorporation of the organization under the laws of Virginia as "The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Virginia. Incorporated," thus making it the only body legally claiming the name of Prince Hall Masons for the purpose of winding up the affair of the session, resolutions were adopted by the grand lodge thanking the citizens of Onanock and environs for their most hospitable entertainment of the representatives and visitors during their three-day

GARNER, OLD VET, TELLS OF DAYS OF '61
Activities Of 1861-5 Told With Interest And Pathos
---
Mr. Charles Garner, a veteran of the civil war made a stirring speech before the Norfolk Emancipation Association on the activities of the days of Sixty-one. Mr. Garner is also a member of the association to which he addressed. The speaker took the occasion to tell his hearers of a wound he received during one of the struggles between the states. The few men now residing in Norfolk who survived this mighty conflict should be accorded every honor and respect that can be given by those who are receiving the blessing of such a struggle, declared the speaker. Mr. Garner also reviewed a number of battles especially those in which Negro troops were engaged and told of the glowing tributes paid to the black soldier by ranking officers of both sides. While closing out his speech the speaker pleaded with his hearers to so conduct themselves and so use each opportunity that those who died in the struggle shall not have died in vain. Let every act prove that those who died, died for a holy cause.
Government Aid Secured
Through the effort of Mr. Walter Smith recently re-elected chief marshal, the government has agreed to furnish transportation for musical organizations coming from Newport News and Hampton for the Emancipation Celebration on January 1, 1927. The services of eight musical organization and a number of trophies have been secured for the event.
TAG DAY FOR DENTAL CLINIC.NEWP'T NEWS
TAG DAY FOR DENTAL CLINIC.NEWP'T NEWS
Newport News, Va.—Another forward step is being taken by the Patrons' Leagues of the four public schools of the city in the development of a full fledged dental service for school children. This movement, begun in 1923, has been advancing by regular stages. Last year a dental laboratory was fitted up in the John Marshall building. The Patrons' Leagues now proposes to employ a dentist who will give one day each week to treatment of children's teeth. Parents will indicate in writing their consent to have the teeth of their children treated by the school dentist in the school laboratory. A small charge for each tooth will be made.
As only a very small portion of the cost of this service can be paid in this way the Patrons' Leagues will conduct a Tag Day on Saturday, November 6th, hoping by that means to raise all the money required to pay the expenses of the dental service during the present year. The public generally is urged to partonize liberally this effort of the women of the Patrons' Leagues to furnish a very necessary and valuable service to the children of the community. Let every one buy a tag and give a liberal sum for it.

New Home Of Norfolk Engraving Co.
NORFOLK ENGRAVING CO. INC.
The Norfolk Engraving Company was established by the late Howard McQuire in the Ledger Dispatch Building, in 1912, where it remained until 1919 when it was moved to 219 Granby street. Prior to founding his own business Mr. McQuire was instrumental in installing the first engraving plant in Norfolk, mainly in connection with newspaper work, during the Jamestown Exposition in 1907. For seven years the Norfolk Engraving Company remained at 219 Granby, conducting business for Norfolk and other cities in Virginia and surrounding states. A steadily increasing business necessitated larger quarters and on Oct. 16th it moved to 204-68 Brush street, where it has a new and one of the most modern plants in the South conveniently located one block from Granby street.
It is equipped to give the best service promptly for both local and out-of-town customers, and the culmination of its past growth here now makes it one of Norfolk's fine industrial and trade assets.
Rapid Rise To Industrial Power Result of Race Co-operation, Asserts The Durham Chamber of Commerce
Beautifully Illustrated Booklet Lists Negro Achievements With Those of Whites Durham, N. C., frequently referred to as the "wonder city", the "model city", the "city of magneti- progress", is one city in America that openly credits its "rapid rust to industrial and educational power to the result of a spirit of cooperation between the white and colored population."
A handsomely illustrated booklet compiled and issued under direction of the Durham Chamber of Commerce and the Citizens' Advertising Committee, a copy of which the Journal and Guide has just received through the courtesy of C. C. Spaulding, a prominent citizen of that town and a nationally known business man, after succinctly and pleasingly setting forth what Durham has to offer, concludes with that emphatic declaration.
The pamphlet itself depicts the marvelous progress of this city of 43,800 population nestling in the Piedmont section of North Carolina. Its every page, every illustration seems to elfuse that wonderful spirit of local cooperation which has made the town a national focus for those who are impressed with the great potentialities of interracial cooperation translated into civic and business achievement.
As one turns the pages of this booklet and view the illustrations of the city's beautiful and massive business structures, its great educational plants in Duke University, in the North Carolina State College for Negroes and its numerous modern secondary educational establishments; its beautiful mansions; its attractive homes owned by both colored and white; its belive business center with the home office of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, the John O'Daniel Hosiery Mills, the Lincoln Hospital and Nurses Home, the White Rock Baptist Church, the Hillside High School the public library for Negroes and typical Negro residents, all Negro enterprises, given prominent place and display, and its myriad of industrial plants, one immediately concludes that Durham has translated interracial harmony into actual material progress that blesses the whole city.
Durham's phenomenal industrial progress is amply evidenced in the steady climb of its bank deposits. In 1922 debits to individual accounts aggregated $238,379,685. At the close of the year 1925, these debits totaled $306,387,774, showing an increase of nearly a million in three years for a city of less than 45,000 population. Industrial expansion is also shown in the figures for the value of products which were in 1909, $32,272,000, and in 1926, $122,000,000. The city has an industrial payroll of
$12,000,600 annually and taxable
values aggregating $70,650,778.
The University of North Carolina,
with its magnificent physical
plant, and exceptional spirit of
interracial goodwill, lies within ten
miles of Durham and is reached
over a concrete boulevard. Durham
probably has much claim to this
institution as a home product. Its
influence is easily felt in the city,
and the city in turn offers much
that is of advantage to the university.
Say the compilers of this book-
let:
Durham's rapid rise to industrial and educational power is the result of a spirit of cooperation between the white and colored population. Undoubtedly the status of the Negro here is unique in the nation. Booker T. Washington is quoted as having said. Of all the Southern cities I have visited I have found here the最an attitude of white toward black.' And of like opinion is W. E. D. DuBois who said, 'There is in this city a group of five thousand or more colored peole, whose social and economic development is perhaps more striking than that of any similar group in the nation.'
A policy of tolerance and helpfulness on the part of the white has greatly aided the Durham Negro in becoming thrifty, industrious and progressive. Home owner shop has been encouraged and a large per cent of the colored population now own homes. Schools have been well equipped for proper training and education. The state institution for higher education of the Negro is located within the city. An excellent hospital and nurses' home has been provided through the generosity of Durham citizens, white and black, assisted by the city and county governments.
"The progressiveness of the Durham Negro is shown by the growth of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company."

SUFFOLK FAIR CLOSES WITH A GREAT SUCCESS
An attendance estimated as the greatest in the history of the Tidewater Fair Association witnessed the Fair in Suffolk last week. But if the attendance was the largest, the event too was one of the best in the history of the association. Every number on the program throughout the week proved a genuine attraction. The educational features were of the highest order; the entertainment features proved to be just what they were intended to be. The horse races were lively, and thrilling; the fireworks held the great crowds in awe-inspiring suspense. There were several educational lectures on subjects pertaining to the home, farm and community life by prominent persons versed in the topics discussed.
Probably the largest attendance was out on Thursday when more than 10,000 persons passed thru the turnstiles. Band concerts enlivened the occasion and the entire event proved a success.

The Norfolk Butter Company, 48-19 City Market, has a very interesting announcement in this paper relative to Ed. S. Vail Buttering Company's real good rolls at 35 cents a pound. This concern also has "Evergood" butter in 1-pound prints at 42 cents a pound and "U-Like" brand butter at 37 cents. Besides various brands of high grade butter the company carries a full line of cheese, eggs, pickles, salad dressing and other delicacies. A number of colored housewives have found that this particular store carries some of the finest table delicacies such as butter, cheese and eggs obtainable in the market at prices they really did not expect to get these goods for.
The manager of Norfolk Butter Company, talking with a representative of this paper, said the store has a large colored patronage which it appreciates and values, and will be pleased to serve all others who may come. It is the purpose of the management to extend the most courteous service to all of its patrons, and invites the readers of the Journal and Guide in particular to call at the store. The housewives of this city are introduced to the Norfolk Butter Company through this article, and any one desiring to purchase goods of their line will do well to inform the proprietors that this newspaper sent them there. It is a real family store and a call there will convince any housewife or family head.
Walter White Resigns As Contributor to Courier
New York City—Walter White. Assistant Secretary to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public the following letter addressed to R. L. Vann, Editor, resigning his position as contributor to the columns of the Pittsburgh Courier:
In view of the story which appeared on the front page of The Pittsburgh Courier of October 9, 1926, containing statements regarding my associate, Mr. John, son, and the organization with which I am connected, for which statements you have facts in your possession showing them to he untrue; and further in view of your telegram in response to my own in which message you admitted that this article appeared with your knowledge and approval, I am writing to advise that it will be impossible for me to resume my contributions to the columns of The Pittsburgh Courier.
Forks were not introduced in England until 1608. Before the advent of forks, the guest was lucky if he got a plate. Usually he was supplied with a round of bread, known as a trencher, upon which the meat was placed.

LOCAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATIONS OF THE
Mexicans Replace Negro Laborers In Detroit
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Detroit, Mich. Oct. 21—An entirely new phase of the industrial employment situation as it pertains to the Negro in this city has just been brought to light.
According to Secretary Scruggs, in charge of the employment bureau in connection with the Y. M. C. A. here, Mexican laborers are being brought to this city and placed in many of the industrial plants. In several instances, it has been noted that Negro employees have been superseded by Mexicans. In the past five years more than 2,000 Mexicans have found their way into the plants here. Whereas, in the census of 1920 not a single Mexican was employed.
This situation as viewed by the Urban League here may possibly mean that Mexicans are being brought here to fill a shortage soon to be felt, of foreign labor caused by immigration laws recently passed; but nevertheless, a general alarm has been sent out and meetings have been held to acquaint the industrial worker with the situation, and to advise him to out in full time and turn out a full day's work so that his job might not be taken by any foreign group. The Urban League has been informed by industrial plant managers that the Negro worker as a group requires a certain type of management in order to get the best results from his labor. This type of management is hard to find which may be one of the reasons why Negroes are employed in less numbers than many other groups.
Countee Cullen On Staff Of Opportunity
New York, Oct. 21—Countie Cullen, poet and author of *GLOR*, whose verse has charmed thousands and captured new friends for the race, has been added to the editorial staff of OPPORTUNITY: Journal of Negro Life, published by the National Urban League. Mr. Cullen's position will be that of assistant to the editor, in that magazine's growing work and programs. He will select its poetry and counsel with the hundreds of young writers whose eager demands have long exceeded the magazine's means of attending them adequately. He will contribute occasional articles and conduct a monthly column of substantial discussion on books and personalities, social and literary trends significantly related to the Negro race relations in general.

CRISIS AWARDS ARE ANNOUNCED
New York City, Oct. 26—The Crisis Magazine today announced the awards in its second competition in literature and art, the prizes to be awarded in an opening meeting at International House, New York City, on October 25. The prizes amounting to $600 donated by Amy E. Spingarn, were awarded as follows: For Plays: $100 first prize to Willis Richardson of Washington,
ACID STOMACH IS DANGEROUS
Sufferers From Indigestion or Stomach Trouble
CUT THIS OUT
"Stomach trouble, dyspepsia, indigestion, sourness, gas, heartburn, food fermentation, etc., are caused nine times in ten by chronic acid stomach," says a well known authority.
Burning hydrochloric acid develops in the stomach at an alarming rate. The acid irritates and inflames the delicate stomach lining and often leads to gastritis accompanied by dangerous stomach ulcers. Don't dose an acid stomach with pepin or artificial digestents that only give temporary relief from pain by driving the sour, fermenting food out of the stomach into the intestines.
Instead, neutralize or sweeten your acid stomach after meals with a little hot water and Bisurated Magnesia and not only will the pain vanish but your meals will digest naturally. There is nothing better than Bisurated Magnesia, to sweeten and settle an acid stomach. It soaks up the harmful excess acid much as a sponge or blotting paper might and your stomach acts and feels fine in just a few minutes. Bisurated Magnesia can be obtained from any reliable drugrist in either powder or tablet form. It is safe, reliable, easy and pleasant to use, is not a laxative and is not at all expensive.
D. C. and $50 second prize to Eulie Spence, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Honorable mention to Randolph Edmunds of Oberlin, Ohio. Judges: Lester Walton, Montgomery Gregory and Charles Burroughs. Short stories: $100 first prize to John E. Mathews of Institute, West Virginia; $50 second prize to Edmund D. Sheen of Chicago. Honorable mention to Anita S. Coleman of New Mexico and Ethel R. Clark of Massachusetts. Judges: Charles W. Chesnutt, Ernest Poole, and Otelia Cromwell. Poetry: $75 first prize to Arna Bontemps and $25 second prize to Countee Cullen. Honorable mention to Effie Lee Newsome, of Alabama, and Blanche Dickinson of Pennsylvania. Judges: Babette

JAMES WELDON JOHNSON ISSUES STATEMENT ON "SLUSH FUND" ATTACK ON THE N. A. A. C. P
---
New York, October 15—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, with the approval of the Board of Directors, today made the following public statement:
On reading the attack on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Pittsburgh, October 9, the Board ordered what inducement would lead a colored editor to put himself in such a position.
First, he puts himself in the position of publicly proclaiming his ignorance of the Garland Fund and its relations to the N. A. A. C. P. despite the fact that the Association has sent out on this subject during the past year over twenty-five releases and these were sent to the editor of the Pittsburgh Courier as well as other papers. This editor pretends to have "investigated" the Garland Fund. No investigation of the Garland Fund has been made except that a representative of Mr. Vann telephoned the N. A. A. C. P. for information and was courteously referred to the Garland Fund headquarters where figures were freely given in good faith.
As to the "dissipation" of the Garland Fund, the Fund has been entirely expended or allotted at the express request in writing of the donor of the Fund, Charles Garland, who asked that it be distributed as soon as conveniently possible. The Fund will probably wind up its affairs within the next year or two. The administration of the Garland Fund has received the variable editorial comment of the New York World in their issues of September 29, 1925.
In addition to dozens of social, educational, labor and other issues given money by the Garland Fund, there were pilots to eight that live as stated by Mr. Vanffa enterprises conducted by or in behalf of colored people. The enterprise was the Advancement of Colored People, including The Crisis; the Urban League; the Menger-Sanger; the Brookside of Sleeping Car Porters; the Trade Union Committee for Organizing Negro Workers; the Vivien Islands Committee; two scholarship at Brookside College; and a subvention to Professor Charles Wesley of Howard University for publication of his book on Negro labor.
Unreasonable Complaint
After complaining in his paper, in the October 9, about how much money Negroes received—an unreasonable complaint, since the amount spent on Negro enterprises was less than five per cent of the Garland Fund expenditures—Mr. Vanffa proceeds to re-examine himself in his editorial of the following work and compiles of the small amounts allotted to
As to induce influence exerted by myself, even if I had wanted to "host" the Garland Fund, as Mr. Vanna Apples, I was only the only Negro on the Board of Directors and I should locally have been able to influence the other members of the Board of the Garland Fund having included two editions of the Nation, a Professor of the University of Chicago, a prominent New York attorney, and other people of National population. They are so many should statements in the Nation's law that I must that I cannot even know all. When he says in his article that the K. A. A. C. P. is only a name" and in his editorial refers to its "expensive and palatial offices on

Unreasonable Complaint
Fifth Avenue" there is at least a contradiction in the fact as presented by
Jolie Vana's quoting "Dane Runner" as a salary received by executives of the N. A. A. C. Pand quoting erroneous facts as that. is indication of the spirit of his entire article. The N. A. A. C. P. is investigated and enclosed by the N. A. C. P. a national housing company with headquarters in New York whose verdict is continuing more substantively than the verdict of Mr. Vana. As to Mr. Vana's exclamation against the amount of money donated to the N. A. A. C. P. a one reason why the N. A.A.C.P. received $26,525,000, which is the total amount received for the Legal Defense Fund from the Garland Fund, is that when the Negroes of this country are forced to leave the Family and their friends, the Garland Fund, realizing that this was one of the crucial cases involving the protection of minority rights, kept in with nine of the four offered one dollar for every two dollars raised by the N. A. A. C. P. for the Legal Defense Fund. The total amount thus given for Legal Defense by the Garland Fund was determined to be people themselves and their money to meet the Garland Fund's offer.
As for the statement that the *Sweet defender* uses an as exclusive for gathering funds: The N. A. A. C. P. publicly in its initial press release of October 19, 1925, and repeatedly thereafter, in releases sent to the Courier in Pittsburgh and the county, explicitly announced that in undisturbing a Legal Defender Fund it had in mind not alone the甜蜜 defense but other cases involving the rights of the Negro. This every colored editor in the Southern press has been from outsourcing its purpose the N. A. A. C. P. prescribed it and again again Mr. Vann is guilty of deliberate misstatement. On December 15, 1925, a press release sent out to colored editors in the Southern press in the first Sweet trial in Detroit and this was accounted for in the Annual Report of 1925. The encounters of the second Sweet trial in Detroit incurred during 1925 naturally belong in the accounting of the current year of the year. All encounters in the Sweet trial have been authored both by the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Legal Committee who serves without compensation overseeing every penny expended. These couchers will be occupurently examined and audited, as are all expense voucher of the N. A. A. C. P. by a firm of public accountants and their report will be published in the Annual Report of the N. A. A. C. P. as our independent custoer.
There is remaining of the Legal Defense Fund the sum of $83,000.07 hold in trust specifically for local defense and which cannot be touched for any other purpose. The triumphant success of the Association in its conduct of its most legal victory for the Navy's constitutional rights, Mr. Vann calls the "Sweet swear." In

the very same lapse of his newspaper in which he seeks to cripple the N. A. A. C. P. by his unwarranted attack upon the integrity of its officers. Mr. Vann takes authority that the N. A. A. C. P. comp. to the aid of two fellow officers on trial in Kentucky. This the N. A. A. C. P. had already done. **The Fund Appropriation**
Now as to the $2,000 appropriated by the Garland Fund. The Carrier states that this was handed "to Dr. DuBois for the study of Negro education in South Carolina." This is not the fact. The $2,000 was appropriated by the Garland Fund for study of Negro public schools. This throughout the year. DuBois was required to conduct this survey. Any reasonable person knows that $3,000 is an entirely inadequate sum for such a suspicious task. Dr. DuBois has set himself to the work and has already published in The Crisis the first installment dealing with South Carolina. In the publication of his survey, Dr. DuBois will make his report to the Garland Fund to already accountable.
It should be unnecessary to state that I will say plainly, so there can be no doubt whatever, that not one penny of the Grand Land Fund or the money of the Lowland Fund which includes an investment expended for the Sweet defense, has ever gone or will go to the individual proof of any member of the Board of Directors or of the staff of the H. A. A. C. P. This statement is backed up by certified accounts of the H. A. A. C. P.
There remains a word for the man who will o. bove him lilies as to make the type of nucleus underhanded and false attack published in the Pittsburgh Courier. Can such a man, who attacks the one organization effectively defends the N. A. C. P. and constructs a society that spreads untruth about it, can such a man have the good of the Negro at heart? Can the poisonous goo-menger and fabifier who perverts his public position as editor to spread lies, pretending to have derived his position from an unjustifiable claim to acting for the "public good"? I leave the answer to this question to all fair-minded people, white and colored, who know what the N. A. A. C. P. has accomplished in fifteen years, who are familiar with the cases, making use of evidence and evidence which alone have made possible its major achievements.
Mr. Vann states that the Negro of America needs such an organization as the N. A. A. C. P. At the one organization which is actually meeting this need, he has struck. He has struck him with a written objection that has emanated from any white Southerner in the entire history of the N. A. A. C. P. I think the

YERGAN RETURNS TO
SHAW-UNIVERSITY
Raleigh, N. C.—It was a most interesting meeting that was held at Shaw University on Saturday night, October 16th. The occasion was that of the welcome of Max Yergan, famous for his work in South Africa, back to his Alma Mater. In the large and newly appointed Y. M. C. A. room in Shaw Hall, the members of the faculty at the university are invited to present the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. assembled to greet Mr. and Mrs. Yergan after they had been absent from this country for five years. Mrs. Yergan, who as well as her husband is a graduate of the institution, also has served on the faculty. The meeting took on an informal aspect, and Mr. Yergan answered numerous questions in his work with Seas and also spoke at some length of four important conferences that he had attended in Europe in the course of the summer.
On the following Sunday evening under the auspices of the Hayes-Fleming Missionary Society, Mr. Yergan addressed in the college chapel a large audience made up of students of Shaw and friends from the city. He sketched fully the political background of his work, set forth some of the problems that he had to meet, and he informed his hearers that he had been successful in establishing no less than 100 students in South Africa. He closed with in powerful plea for more interest in the general field. It was fitting that Mr. Yergan's first public address after his return to the United States should be given at his Alma Mater. Within a few days he is to leave for a tour of the West and he will be in the country altogether about eighteen months.

MANTEO
LAUDS COURAGE OF NEVAL H. THOMAS
Neval H. Thomas, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., and president of the Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., is credited by William Pickens as being virtually a lobbyist for the Negro race in the halls of the National Congress. Mr. Pickens, in a release to the newspapers, calls attention to the Mr. Thomas attention "to light the battles of his race." The full text of the comment, Mr. Pickens makes on Neval H. Thomas follows:
"We have often heard it said that the Negro race ought to maintain a permanent lobby in Washington to watch legislation and administration in the interest of Colored Americans. Other interests not nearly so vital as the national well-being of Colored Americans have their lobbyists there.
"The Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is doubtless the most opportune agency through which this could be done. When Archibald Grimke was president of the branch, he organized Negro Washington as it had never before been organized, won the Spingarn Medal for his loyal, able and effective guardianship of the rights of colored people. No case was too small and no individual too insignificant for him to make a call on the Congressional Committee or at the office of the departmental head to see that justice prevailed in that case and for that individual.
"Neval H. Thomas, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, is now president of the branch and is carrying on with like devotion and marvelous courage. It is nothing less than marvelous when a Negro school teacher, anywhere in the United States, has the courage to right the battles of his race as Thomas has done.
"Perhaps we have not fully realized the significance of the fight which he led against segregated bathing beaches. The case seemed hopeless; Congress passed the bill to "Jim Crow" colored bathers; the Secretaries of War and Navy endured, and Calvin Coolidge, over the protests of Neval Thomas and the branch, signed it. There was yet one more trench—the appropriations committee under Madden. The bathing beaches could not be had without the money. Thomas and his coborts presented themselves to Madden. Madden was "told" and heeded. The appropriation was not made: Congress, War, Navy and President were beaten in this last trench. And Thomas still holds his job in the Washington School system.

YERGAN SAYS SOUTH AFRICA IS ADVANCING
Natives Desire Share In The Politics Of Country
New York, Oct.—Out of an environment that is still largely uncivilized, the natives of South Africa, backed by a growing sentiment on the part of the white residents, are steadily advancing socially and intellectually, according to the picture of the situation just brought back from Cape Province by Max Yergan, the originator and leader of the work of the Young Men's Christian Association among the natives in South Africa.
Mr. Yergan returned from Africa on furlough October 9, after five years of uninterrupted work, based partly on the support of by-passed United States and partly on what he calls the "growing sentiment among a certain portion of the white population in South Africa in favor of greater justice for the natives."
Last week he was the honor guest at a dinner at the International House, this city an event which has since been called the most outstanding interracial gathering ever brought together here. At the dinner, Mr. Yergan outlined his work and his hopes for the future.
"The mind of the European," he said, "is slowly awakening to the magnitude of the African situation. Wealth is pouring into vast territory, and the city is turning there for products which Africa yields. This has created a startling economic and social problem.
"By force of circumstances, the natives find themselves living in a civilization which is basically European. Their heritage being different from that of the Europeans, they are face to face with the necessity of measuring up to the standards which surround them.
"Of the 7,000,000 people in South Africa, 5,500,000 are colored, and less than 1,000,000 of these have become Christianized. Yet those who have had opportunities of advancement, intellectually and socially, have proved themselves well able to fulfill the obligation which it imposes. And more and more they are looking for aid and guidance from the Negroes of America, who, unquestionably occupy the highest place of any colored people in the world.
"The people among whom I work are desirous of having a share in politics, but I give as my considered view that they hold no revolutionary ideas. They are somewhat discouraged by the land situation and by the land Bill, which seeks to kill natives out of their occupied occupations. They also are protesting certain proposals for removing some of their franchise privileges in the Cape Province. But they do not seek to overturn the existing government. The situation is being considered with notable moderation by the native leaders, who seem to be co-operate in every way with the government, and my belief that this spirit of cooperation will meet with a definite response.
"The Young Men's Christian Association has been responsible for bringing the claim of the natives before the white inhabitants. Out
of that has come an increasing inclination to give the situation the study it deserves. One of the brightest lights on the horizon is the system of joint councils, comprising both white and colored people, seeking better interracial relations."

BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON
Persistent coughs and cold leads to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Cremulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Cremusion contains, in addition to creosote, other creosotes which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
CromulSION is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)

"Present your bodies a living sacrifice unto God which is your reasonable service." The preacher said that this is a just age for women because a great opportunity has been given them for a larger and higher service. This has come through the influence of Christianity. Conservation meant setting one if apart for the service of God. It is therefore that which is acceptable to God not man. Conservation for service calls for effort, determination, self-charis on the part of those who would be conserved. If the body is presented at a living sacrifice nothing in this world can hinder anyone from giving a reasonable service. Your reasonable service is a service well planned, and well executed.

The Tidewater Fair As I Saw It
MISSING
By REV. DR. J. F. JORDAN, Suffolk,
Representative of the Journal and Guide.
Suffolk, Va.—Just because the Nerfol Journal and Guide has several hundred subscribers in Nantucket county, and in the city of Suffolk, our folks seem to think that this trying reporter has but little else to do than to write about their very huge Fair and affairs. Let them think. But do not tell him what to write, and how much The Guide carries a large advertisement for your occasion year and it is paid to you. Please have a bit of money. You ask for my cut, and my may say in my own way, to appear this year as of it. It is up to the publisher as to whether or not I appear on the screen this year. I am trying to note this, one of the greatest of all events that has periodically dropped itself down upon this city and county within the last twenty-three years.
The Fair By Days
We, or they, were to start upon the Tuesday of the fifth. We did it. I drove my one-can, two-wheeler down Tuesday afternoon, just to see if things were ready. They were about ready. This first day passed off with a fairly good sized attendance, and without any accidents. The exhibits began to show that we were to have one of our very best of all best fairs. The weather was fair, and started out in the morning. Wednesday began and held out to be one of the best days. Fair weather and fine folks came in with the riding sun. The crowd is larger today, and so are the exhibits and the people. I saw more of, and about them than of yesterday. A year ago, there were not so many as today. And too, they are better looking and seem to have more sense and more energy than down. But very few, down. This is one of our best intellectual, as well as one of our most profitable days.
Thursday is always the biggest day of the week. Here we are, 12,000 strong, anybody, anything, anyhow, from everywhere and anyway. I have never seen so many people at this, or any other fair. Some estimate the crowd as being 15,000. Here are preachers, ministers, teachers, business men, and members of many races, to see and to be seen. But here are so many that it is hard for one to see even himself. The "biggest elephant in captivity" is here, and he danced the Charleston. The races were good, and every bory saw them. The many kinds of exhibits seemed to be better than before. This may include the twin babies over at the hospital. They were among the cutest animal babies. There were baby contestants. I did not see them. There were some nice mothers, and a few good fathers in and about the most interesting places. Among them I notice Mr. Young and Mr. Paryear who had on exhibition the two cars that all of us hope to win in this Guide contest. I could not see very much of Manager Crocker, but happened to find President Piretry trying to catch a "pickpocket" in the midst of the great crowd.
Friary is another big day. Education is the great thought for this day. Teachers, pupils and students all join in making this one of the greatest in the history of the Fair.
WAVERLY
Wavely, Van. Mr. Brenne Jones is here visiting his father, Mr. William Jones and his brother, Mr. William Jones, girls here at Van. Mrs. William Jones, the Portsmouth here at an elite school, and stopping with their niece and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. William Jones, girls here at Van. Mrs. Emma G. Griffin, Mrs. Lotia L.

Hopes To Raise That Amount At Cape ..... Charles Meet
The annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society will be held at Cape Charles, November 12. At this meeting; according to an announcement made by Lozeno C. White, field secretary, it will be necessary to raise $2,000 for the continuance of the society's work, which consists mainly in fostering better schools, better health, better homes and better farms.
The Negro Organization Society is unique a place among philanthropic or welfare organizations. Its executive committee is comprised of representatives of the walks of life in Virginia, all prominent citizens both men and women. Unostentatiously it carries out a program of improving the state of the race in Virginia. This society bought the land upon which stands Piedmont Sanitation; it originated the Clean-up Campaign in Virginia and is still directing its beneficial activities. systematized the work of school improvement leagues and through the office of its field secretary has helped the league to raise thousands of dollars annually, for the increase of teachers salary, the creation of new schools and the expansion of school terms. But most of all by having on its official board curtailing representatives of all faiths and creeds that are common to the race, the society is helped to make possible that an intelligent co-operation on the part of the leaders which is so absolutely essential to racial progress.
The text of Mr. White's appeal for funds is as follows: o To be able to respond to certain urgent appeals for help that have already been made to the Society from needy communities in the state and to intensify the work generally during the coming year, we must raise at lease $2,000 at the Cape Charles meeting. We are asking your organization to give just $1,000 of what we believe that you are going to do it. Send it to this office before November and or send it by delegate to the meeting at Cape Charles.

REV. SIMON P.W.
DREWTOLECTURE
IN MANY CITIES
Colored "Billy Sunday" Also Enters Journal and Guide Subscription Contest
Announcement has been made that Rev. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, of Washington, national evangelist, is planning to tour the United States to conduct a series of meetings and lectures in interest of having a colored girl swim the English channel.
Dr. Drew is president of the White Cross Real Estate Company, pastor of the National Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, Washington, and one of the founders of the White Cross Employment Bureau in New York in 1887 under the name of The Drew Breathers Agency, where it now maintains an office at 52 West 134th Street. Dr. Drew has launched a 3,000,000 membership campaign for the White Cross Bureau.
One of the principal features of his tour, according to the announcement will be to sit up votes toward winning one of the prizes offered in the Norfolk Journal and Guide's subscription campaign—to win the automobile.
The path of tour will be as follows: Norfolk, Portsmouth, Franklin, Richmond, Newport News, Petersburg, Lynchburg, Danville, Dreweryville, Margaretteville in Virginia. At Lynchburg he will be the guest of his cousin, Prof. Emery F. Fennell, professor of Greek and Hebrew, at Virginia Seminary. Dr. Drew will visit Winston-Salem and Raleigh in North Carolina; Charleston and Columbia in South Carolina; Savannah and other cities in Georgia. He will visit Nashville, Tenn., Louisville, Ky., Montgomery, Al., Charleston, W. Va., Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburg, Pa., St. Louis, Mo., Indianapolis, Ind., St. Paul, Minn., Chicago, U., Baltimore, Md., and New York City.
Dr. Drew is considered a very visible speaker; he has an unusually pleasing personality; and a forceful, persuasive mellow voice. It is said that over 100,003 persons have been converted throughout the United States under his preaching. A few of his outstanding achievements are as follows: In 1911 he pleaded for Mattie Lomax and was instrumental in having her sentence of death committed to life imprisonment; in 1912 he solded soldiers killed in Mexico brought home and buried in Arlington Cemetery. Mrs. Wilson, wife of the late President Wilson, furnished flowers for the occasion.
Dr. Drew is now sponsoring a movement to have a colored woman swim the English Channel. It is said that his welfare work has been endorsed by six Presidents, including President Coolidge, also by members of the House of Representatives and leading clergymen. He holds two loving cups given him by the citizens of Washington as a mark of his appreciation of his work as a citizen. The present address of Dr. Drew is 1317 Corcoran street, Washington, D. C., where persons or organizations desiring to engage his services while on this tour may address him. They may also address him at 2125 11th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
GROUP OF FOREIGN EDUCATORS VISIT AMERICAN SCHOOLS
Hampton And V. N. & I. L.
Taken In By Visitors Of
International Institute
Hampton Institute, Oct. 24—A group of 60 foreign educators from all parts of the world are visiting Hampton Institute today and tomorrow. The group represents 25 different countries; namely: Porto Rico (2), Hawaii (1), Haiti (1), Philippines (1), Chili (2), Peru (1), Greece (1), Bulgaria (2), Russia (1), Czechoslovakia (1), Germany (3), Norway (1), Spain (2), England (3), Scotland (1), Finland (1), Poland (3), Hungary (1), Persia (1), Japan (2), China (1), Korea (1), India (2), American Indian (1)
Eight foreign ministries of education are represented in the group: Spain, Germany, Haiti, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and India.
The group is visiting Hampton Institute under the direction of Dr. M. C. Delmanzo, a member of the staff of the International Institute of Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City. The international Institute was organized in 1923 by a grant of $1,000,000 from Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., through the International Education Board. Dr. Paul Monroe, Director of the Institute, possesses a thorough knowledge of educational problems both here and abroad, and leader in the field of international education. Dr. Monroe has traveled extensively studying conditions in educational surveys. Dr. William F. Russell, the Associate Director, was formerly Dean of the College of Education at the State University of Iowa. Dr. Russell has also made numerous foreign educational investigations. The international Institute is doing a remarkable piece of work in directing the students from for-

Savannah, Ga. At the chapel services, Friday morning, October 22, Mrs. S. A. Jones, Secretary/Treasurer, Enrollment, K. G. Thomas, postmaster of the First Baptist Church of Savannah, Georgia, were present. They brought greetings from the students as being highly honored with the progress being made at the institution. At the close of the services, Dr. Thomas presented in contribution from the friends of Savannah, Georgia, the students as being highly honored with the progress being made at the church. The students and teachers received this tangible evidence of the success of Savannah's efforts to enhance the Georgia State College College, in its attempt to build up its image among students as students involved with a speech on each Sunday evening from six to seven a.m. The public is evidently impressed by the progress, bold and Sunday evening, was a decided success. Many visitors from the city were present. The institution is being mobilized in football matrics. Dates are being
eign lands in their study of American schools. It is likewise engaged in making foreign educational surveys and in acquainting the American student with foreign developments in the field of education. There are more than 200 foreign students enrolled in Teachers College this year, representing 50 foreign countries.
Hampton Institute is of especial interest to the group of foreign students since many of the countries represented are facing racial problems difficult of solution. Of importance is the work being done at Hampton in vocational training. Perhaps the most significant effort to be pursued is the training of teachers and leaders the constant and definite relationship that exists between Hampton and the actual community to be served, presents a type of educational organization well worth studying. The foreign group is inducted to Dr. J. E. Gregg and his staff for the excellent co-operation in permitting this group of educators to study at first hand the work of Hampton Institute. Other places in which the International College, connect to visit in Virginia include William and Mary College, the school of Henrico County, and the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg.

Blacklist Medding Preachers Advises Bishop W. T. Vernon
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 22—During a recent session of the Indiana Annual Conference, a minister had failed in raising his conference claims. This was brought to the attention of Bishop W. T. Vernon, who was presiding. It was also reported to him that certain ministers who had previously served this charge had visited the city quite often, had criticised the minister and otherwise interfered with his work. Rising up, his voice and his whole demeanor manifested himself in his speech, and he felt, Bishop Vernon declared, "Any minister who goes on the work of another and interferes with him in that way is a catholtr and a murderer." Blacklist every meddling preacher and defeat him for every office and for every honor he seeks in the conference; for he is unworthy any consideration."

The whole citizenry of Norfolk joins in thanks to Mr. David Pender for the gift of that commodious building to the Norfolk City Union of King's Daughters. This gracious act of charity finds response in the heart beats of every person in this community who is the least familiar with the work of the organization it is to benefit. There is not much that can be said in compliment to the lofty sentiments of the donor that has not already become a part of the thinking of the people of this city as well as having been repeatedly expressed in the most fitting terms. Words cannot now add to his stature as man and a citizen of real worth.
But the people of this community are happy in the thought that the work of King's Daughters will be enhanced by this splendid gift. It is an organization whose record for humanitarian service is embodied in the good it has carried to underprivileged children of every class and race into every corner of the city. Truly, if there were ever knights of human service, they are found in the workers of the King's Daughters. No home so desolate, no family so non-descript that it will be deliberately passed up by the King's Daughters. This is a charity to which anyone can contribute with a freedom of feeling that they are performing the highest service to their fellows.
Col. Roosevelt's warning to the colored voters of New York will fall on many deaf ears, for two reasons: The New York Democrats have given very generous-recognition to the race voters, and the national Republicans, in whose behalf Col. Roosevelt was speaking, have done nothing to remove the political and civil disabilities which he says will increase if Mr. Smith gets to the Presidency, which he will be in line for if reelected Governor of New York.
Mr. Smith may have to cater to the South to get the Democratic nomination, and the Republicans may have to cater to the Negro voters of New York and other Northern states to beat him in the event he runs, but whoever wins, the Negro stands to lose, as usual. The Harding and Coolidge administrations have opened the eyes of the Negro voters to the quadratic hokum handed them by the Republicans as a bid for their support of the party. Ethel Waters sings a "Blues" song entitled "I Aint Nobody's Mama Now." Well, the Negro voters are no longer the wet nurse of the Republican party. Of course, there are some that will remain regular, but the spirit of independence is more prevalent now than ever.
The Virginian-Pilot sounds an interesting note when it says that whatever the political future of the Negro may be, "for the present the main effort must be toward procuring for him economic justice and freedom from organized discrimination." There is seen in the recent independent trend of Negro voters a discernment of that vital need, and if intelligent political alignment will assist in achieving the ends sought the goal is nearer at hand.
Mob Lynching or Judicial Lynching?
Of lato the idea has been emphasized by a good deal of reiteration that one of the most effective means of curbing the lynching bee is speedy judicial procedure in cases of persons accused of crimes of a nature calculated to inflame the public mind. In fact the idea is being more and more advanced that in cases where persons who are taken into custody accused or suspected of revolting crimes, or crimes of any nature where the circumstances involved might tend to provoke a lynching, the courts and all the machinery of justice should deviate from the normal course—which in this country is recognized as necessarily unhasty and unimpassioned—and step-lively from capture to conviction. The idea takes root in the premises that the best way to frustrate a lynching is to placate the mob with the assurance that the law will quickly accomplish the purpose which the mob itself is bent upon—vengeance and destruction of the accused.
It is highly proper that the courts and all of its officers be especially concerned to avert lynchings, but if this concern is to be reflected in hasty trials under the stimulus of mob stampede, the danger of a judicial lynching is just as patent as is the danger of mob lynching. Indeed, we are getting on dangerous ground when we begin to encourage the notion that all a community which is jealous of its reputation needs to do to save it from the stigma of a lynch-

ing when a mob outbreak seems imminent, is quickly to capture, indict, arraign, convict and execute the accused. We are proceeding on an equally dangerous theory if we are to assume that one of the best ways to protect the name of the state from a lynching disgrace is to give every would-be mob beforehand assurance that it need not stigmatize the commonwealth for the reason that the courts are certain to accomplish with speed the purpose which the mob itself would accomplish.
The fact is, those who advocate hasty trials and sure convictions as the best means to prevent lynching, confess the impotency of the laws to stand up and vigorously combat this evil. As a means of saving the reputation of their communities, they would mistakenly capitulate to the mob spirit and exchange for the ugly mob lynching the more orderly but none the less repugnant process of judicial lynching.
In our own vicinity recently there were murmurings of a lynching following the committing of a particularly atrocious crime, which every one hoped would not go unpunished. An arrest, indictment, trial and conspiction all followed with unusual rapidity, and though the verdict and sentence seemed to accord with the evidence adduced at the trial, it now turns up that there is newly discovered evidence sufficiently strong to create grave doubt as to the guilt of the condemned man, thus moving the state itself to procure a delay of the execution for two months beyond the date originally set. There is just the probability that had this case been given the delay necessary for a thorough investigation unattended by excitement and mob hysteria this newly discovered evidence would have been available at the first trial, and whether or not it would have had the effect of producing a different verdict, it would have had the effect of serving more fully the ends of justice.
It is not quick trials and sure convictions we need to emphasize to avert lynchings, it is more backbone in those charged to enforce, unhold and defend the law.

In another column on this page is reprinted the full text of an interesting article by Mr. W. O. Saunders on "The Negro's Worst Enemy." There is much truth in what he says. There are some strictures which are perhaps overdrawn. His words ring with sincerity. Mr. Saunders is himself a generous' friend of the Negro race. He has demonstrated it many times. But there are times when even our friends lose patience, faith. Here follows one of his reactions:
"The greatest enemy of the Negro in America today is the insolent, bumptious, aggressive, class-conscious, half-baked product of mediocre Negro colleges and universities that apo the antiquated and now generally discredited academic methods of our white colleges of half century ago."
It is generally conceded that the old schools were faulty. They were not up to the approved standards of the present day. But the great majority of the old schools have been reorganized and are now ultramodern, both in methods and aim. If by "makeshift Negro colleges somewhere in the North" he means the group headed by Howard, Lincoln, Morgan or Wilberforce he does those schools a gross injustice because they are now rated as class "A" colleges by the highest American authorities of Mr. Saunders' own race.
The Negro did not find much of a market for the sort of college education he acquired in the old schools. But they were the only schools he had. They were financed from the North and through his own meager efforts in the South. It is just within recent years that the South has recognized the need of college training for Negroes. North Carolina and Virginia are pioneers in this new vision.
The Negro is "class-conscious." All groups that have endured any form of oppression are class-conscious. Who are more so than the Jews, or the sons and daughters of the confederacy? Who is more so than Mr. Saunders when he proclaims "this is a white man's country?" Who is more so than the professional Englishman? or, the professional Southerner?
One of the worst enemies of the Negro is the white friend who persists, in spite of the Negro's advancement in all the desirable qualities of citizenship, in regarding him as a type, rather than a human being. We do not believe that Mr. Saunders has fallen into that error. We prefer to believe that he is more progressive, more optimistic, broader.
No American Negro will ever forget that he is in a "white man's country." He is not a forcible trespasser here. The white man brought him here, enslaved him, freed him, made him a citizen, nullified his citizenship, started him over again. The term is odious. It is the shibboleth of the Invisible Empire, the insignia of every man who wants to befriend the Negro and hold with those who might not approve. It is the shadow of weakness, the soul of fear.
More trust, less distrust, in the attitudes of both races would be a good balm for the troubles Mr. Saunders has discovered. In spite of all that is said and done, a very genuine and peculiar attachment exists between the Negro and the American white man. The latter is generous to a fault, more so to the Negro than toward any dissimilar group that ever occupied the same space with him. The former is loyal and appreciative. He goes to war and gives his life for this "white man's country" with a gladness that approaches idolatry. Where else in all the history of mankind, is there so much of romance, so much of tragedy, and so much that puts to its highest test the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, as in America?

If one wants to know the actual seating capacity of an auditorium, he does not even have to ask. Here liss one reason why exaggerated claims really accomplish little: row of seats from wall to wall will hold only so many. Ascertain that number and multiply it by the number of rows of seats. This gives you the seating capacity of the lower floor. Next, ascertain what the mid-row of seats in the balcony will hold on one end to the other. Multiply that the number of rows of seats in the balcony. That gives you the seating capacity of the balcony. Now, count the chairs on the platform and in the chorus loft. Add the figures for these three sections of seats, and you have pretty accurately the exact capacity of the auditorium, whether it be college assembly hall, municipal auditorium, or church.
In the light of the foregoing, it is positively laughable to hear some folks talk about the great size of their mammoth autoriums and the wonderful crowds that face them from week to week. That is one reason why we have so many "large"urches that give but little to missions, education and charity. They are expected give in proportion to their boasted ability, while their actual ability is but meager.

The interior and private quarrels of New York politics interest us but little down here, but when Colonel Theodore Roosevelt tells a Negro audience in Harlem to beware of re-electing Governor Smith because to reelect him Governor is to insure his nomination for the presidency by the Democrats in 1928, it becomes interesting to examine the reasoning by which the son of Roosevelt the Great shows that to be a development to which no Negro can afford to contribute. Here is the reasoning. The New York State Democratic platform has ordinarily contained a plank demanding equal rights for all Americans regardless of race, creed or color. This year the plank is omitted. Why? Because, suggests Colonel Roosevelt, Governor Smith is out for the presidential nomination and wanns nothing in the state platform of 1926 that might offend the South in 1928. And has not "this principal opponent in the Democratic National Convention two years ago" announced publicly "that a victory in this State now will entitle Smith to the presidential nomination two years hence"? The duty confronting every intelligent Harlemite is plain. He must vote against Smith or support an individual who, as presidential nominee of one of the great parties, will run on a platform that deals with the Negro in the spirit of the Southern States "whose attitude toward colored Americans," Colonel Roosevelt observes meaningfully, "is well known."
For a Roosevelt this is particularly poor shop. Not since Representative Wood, of Indiana, chairman of the Republican Congressional campaign committee, appalled to the country to vote the straight Republican ticket because if the House passed to the control of the opposition a majority of the important House committees would be headed by chairmen deriving from the Southern States, have we had a cheaper attempt to make political profit out of a sectional prejudice. The hokum of this appeal must be apparent to every intelligent Negro who is familiar with Republican practice, as distinguished from Republican profession, in Southern districts where the Republicans are in control. The fact is that the political situation of the Negro in the South is what it is for reasons that have nothing to do with political parties or political professions, and that in actual Southern practice, the major parties are equally bound by three reasons.
What the political future of the Negro in the South is we do not pretend to know. For the present the main effort must be toward procuring for him economic justice and freedom from organized discrimination. In this connection it is interesting to recall that while the Republican convention of 1926 contented itself with a bromidic naughty-naughty on the subject of the organized discrimination that was giving the Negro race the greatest amount of trouble, the Democratic platform, with Al Smith's conspicuous support and approval, rededicated itself anew, by direct citation, to the constitutional sanctities that this organized discrimination was conspicuously setting at naught, condemning "any effort to arouse religious or racial dissension" and pledging the party to "insist at all times upon obedience to the orderly processes of the law." Thay may not be as resounding as an ostentatious pledge to an enforceable Federal antilynching law, but it is a pledge which, in the end, is likely to mean a great deal more for Negro peace, contentment and progress.

To be with thee is all I erave,
To have thy heart's devoted love;
To know that deep within thy breast

To call thee mine is but a part

Is not a slave to mundane kings.
To seek thy comfort? Yea, for thee

BOOK CHAT
"PRIMITIVE NEGRO SCULPTURE."
By Paul Guillaume and Thomas Munro. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Co., 883 Madison Ave., New York City. Price: $6.00 Postpaid.
"Into modern plastic art particularly, Negro sculpture has by two main contributions thrown a ferment that must inevitably go on working. These are a general method and a storehouse of materials. After catching the spell of its vigorous and seductive rhythms, no artist can return to academic balanalties. In an age when more than one voice has been heard say that sculpture is obsolete, and the plastic arts exinusted, Negro art has brought creative forces that may prove to be inexhaustible."
Some of us have heard things like this before, but we have been unable to see any but a few examples of Negro art and looking upon these few we have been unable to appreciate their significance and beauty. This volume is an effort to interpret Negro art to the reader. It has forty-eight illustrations of the art of Gaban, Sudan, the Ivory Coast, the Congo, Benni, Dahomey, Guinea. It shows us how to look at these illustrations, where the show special beauty, and it attempts to put us in sympathy with the artist who made the mask or fetish. We have a short description of the surroundings and the psychology of the Negro who, after a period of intense activity, spent days of pleasant idleness carving with his knife the image that was an important part of his household life.
One of the first things that we learn is that we must look upon the Negro statue with eyes unable to recognize the new, not unable to accept anything but the old. Academic sculpture is Greek with its flowing draperies, its effort to approach reality as nearly as possible. The sculpture of the Negro is very different. It does not attempt to depict an ideal figure that would be humanly desirable if we saw it in flesh and blood—it may depict a mask that shall be worn at a religious festival. It is not something that shall be as much as possible like the human face. In a superb Ivory Coast mask, photographed in the book, we see how the artist has exaggerated certain curves and left others out all together, but in so doing he has expressed something extraordinarily powerful and tragic, and yet something distorted, not a copy of a face but his own creation. We must learn, so this book reiterates, to accept free distortions of the body. A piece of Negro sculpture must not be looked at as a whole but each part must be studied. "The figure must be dissociated into its parts, regarded as an aggregate of distinct units: the head, limbs, breasts, trunk and so on each by itself."
Like so many beautiful things, Negro art is a matter of the past. As the white man came, the Negro artist disappeared. Only in Benin, under Portuguese influence, did one have any blending of white and black man's art and there Negro art became weakened. If one sees a Negro at work with his knife today he is an imitator only, dully attempting to get back something that is lost. But if the Negro can no longer produce the plastic beauty which was once so common among his race, he can flatter himself that the forms that he has created in the past have become a most important factor in the art of the white man. He who loves Negro art "will find the endless repetition of a few Greek motives in modern sculpture as banal as a popular love song repeating for the millionth time stale melodies and hackneyed phrases that once were fresh and appealing."
My only criticism of this beautiful and instructive book is its English, which at times is a clumsy translation of the French author.

New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and Chicago have over a hundred thousand and Negroes each. For fullness of statement, we might as well include New Orleans with an even one hundred thousand, and is the only distinctively Southern city in the category. Chicago has the small-

est number of any of her Northern sisters, and shows the greatest percentage of increase during the last census decade. But the Negroes in the windy city show a record of achievement and enterprise beyond all comparison with the other big five. For the past few years we have heard a great deal about the Harlem Negro, and comparatively little concerning his brother in the other large cities. The New York press is almost the only organ of public opinion which is vocal throughout the nation. The great newspapers, magazines, and book concerns are located in the metropolis. Their carrying power reach the remote ramifications of the nation. They have focussed attention on the local Harlem Negro and advertised him and his problems throughout the land, to all of the inhabitants thereof. And yet aside from certain emotional and sentimental excitations the Harlem Negro has less to his credit than can be truthfully claimed for the race in Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia or Baltimore. One searches in vain for any hopeful indication of a gratifying future of the New York Negro, in industry, business, race enterprise, solid achievement or moral outlook, Van Vechten, with great artistic skill, has sized up the Harlem Negro's summum bonum, in "Nigger Heaven." Blow off the froth and frith and what is the solid residue?
---
Chicago contains one hundred and nine thousand Negroes, against one hundred and fifty four thousand in greater New York. Comparison of accomplishments would be inviolent. Chicago has the greatest Negro newspaper on earth. Although much further removed from the mass of the population than the seaboard cities, yet through superior journalistic enterprise she has easily out distanced all of her rivals as the locus of the voice of the race. In addition to the Defender, which competing journals have agreed to step aside and let pass, there are the Whip and the Bee, crying as lustily as to be heard within and without their halliwell.
The windy city contains two Negro banks with combined resources of over three million dollars. One of these is a state bank, and the other is a National Bank and the only one of its kind in America, and for that matter in the world. I doubt whether there is a colored bank anywhere in the country that can equal or surpass either of these financial institutions in resources, volume of business and efficiency of management.
Two strong insurance companies have not only their home offices here, but inception, origin and compelling energy must be accredited to this city. The visitor is amazed at the rapidity with which the Chicago Negro is acquiring homes. Grand Boulevard is a beautiful residence street stretching through the city, which is surpassed in landscape engineering and residential adornment by few streets in America. A very few years ago the wealthiest citizens of the city laid out this street for their own exclusive abode. Now it is owned and occupied by Negroes from end to end. I do not pretend to understand how they have been able to buy and maintain these magnificent establishments. But the fact astounds me. There is nothing like it—nothing approximating it on this continent.

Chicago Negroes own and operate successfully two of the largest colored hotels in the world. As I travel about the country from place to place, I find it most difficult to secure satisfactory stopping places outside of private residences and Y. M. C. A. buildings. I certainly pity the Negro who arrives in New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore, if his terminal facilities have not been previously provided for. This has always struck me as a curious comment on Negro efficiency or inefficiency. All of our cities team with new comers, visitors, transients, boarders and lodgers, and yet the stranger and the visitor can hardly find a comfortable place to lay his head and rest his weary limbs.

The Negro's Worst Enemy
Dr. Kelly Miller sees the Chicago Negro as the most aggressive and progressive group in economic and political attainments of the race in this country. "They have faith and confidence in themselves," he says, and "according to thy faith, he it unto thee." Of fine and growing businesses, of palatial residences of all the worthwhile material achievements, the Chicago Negro, is an example for Negroes everywhere, Dr. Miller is convinced.
taurants are the best in the country. The testing thereof is the tasting thereof. While one cannot say as much as he would like to say about that phase of business enterprise which has to do with the buying and selling of commodities, yet the windy city in no degree falls behind its rivals. The Negro real estate dealers do the most active and effective business of all. They transact real estate deals of a magnitude and on a scale which would put other places to shame.
The Chicago Negroos have vital relation to the politics and government of the city of which they form a part. They control complete political units in sections where they have the numerical ascendancy. The Negro leader is not merely the petty hechman of some white over boss, but is the leader in the one hundred per cent interpretation of the term. They elect members of the city council, state legislature, judge of the court, and in the near future, they will send a Negro to the Congress of the United States. By virtue of their political weight they demand and secure appointive positions of the highest pay and importance within the gift of the city and state. New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore must hang their heads in chagrin as they look upon the triumphant Negro in Chicago in local and city politics.

If I were asked to name the worst enemy of the Negro race in America today, I would say that that enemy is to be found within the ranks of the Negro race itself.
The worst enemy of the Negro is not to be found within the white race; the Nordies are far busier hating and fighting one another.
When a gang of red neck whites steps aside and lynches a Negro it is only an incident: brute natures must satisfy their blood lust and they take it out on the Negro because they can get away with it; they are too cowardly to strike elsewhere.
The greatest enemy of the Negro in America today is the insolent, bumptious, aggresive sive, class-conscious, half-baked product of mediocre Negro colleges and universities that ape the antiquated and now generally discredited academic methods of our white colleges of half a century ago.

The colleges of the past turned out gentlemen; they taught men to live, to know what to demand of life and how to use it. But they failed to teach men how to make a living. They turned out a lot of charming, if toploft, gentlemen who could read Greek, Latin and French; quote Bucon, Chaucer and Spencer; name all the flowers in their ancestral gardens; ride a horse; mix a mint julep; hold a tea cup correctly, etc. But they didn't turn out men equipped to back a practical, busy, every-day result. The result is that these fine gentlemen of the old school,—or old schools if you please,—who learned much about how to live and nothing at all about making a living, have found themselves shunted aside in this modern world by a lot of uneducated come-ons from the ranks of the plain people.
Our country is ruled today largely by an unlettered aristocracy of wealth that mastered the practical business of making a living while our old aristocracy of culture was learning how to live.
I visit Negro schools and colleges occasionally and find them laying much emphasis upon the dead languages. They resent the Booker Washington idea of vocational training and think they are catching up with the white man by getting an academic education that has usually resulted in economic failure for the white man.

rect support and management of the federal government. She has a greater number of doctors and lawyers per capita than her rivals. The Negro contingent of the great Baptist denomination of three million members lives and functions here. Her religious life is as active and assertive as any. Secret fraternities are planting headquarters in its lake metropolis. Bishops of the several branches of the Methodist churches are establishing episcopal residences. The social life is all agoy. No city can surpass her in the abundance and splendor of hospitality. Small wonder that she is gaining the name of the convention city.
In no feature of their life does the Chicago group fall below the average, and in features, she equals most, and in several she surpasses all.
What is the cause? Wherever there is an effect, there must be a cause. The Chicago Negro is made of the same flesh and blood and mind stuff as the rest of their fellow race men. Then how, it must be asked, did they get the start of the majestic world? and how do they hold it?
As I have analyzed the situation, it all resides in the spirit. They are able because they believe they are able. They have faith and confidence in themselves. According to thy faith be it unto thee. I have more than once said to representatives of this group "You people act as if you believed you were free." After all freedom is a state of mind. They still persist in this belief. Even the race riot did not get their goal. A white man told me five years before it happened that State street would be the scene of a bloody race conflict. But Chicago and Illinois were the only jurisdictions that undertook to handle the race riot in a state-man like fashion. The commission composed of the choicest representatives of both races cooperated in ferreting out the causes and prescribing the remedy. The resulting book—"The Negro of Chicago"—still remains the clearest present of the question available to the students of race relations.
Now comes the bumptious, half-baked product of a make-shift Negro college somewhere in the North to tell the Negro of his rights and insist that he stand up and fight for them. He is doing his race a grave injustice and will succeed only in foimenting racial antagonisms that can only result disastrously for the weaker race.

I recognize every right of the Negro; I deplore every injustice done the Negro by my own race; I resent discrimination against the Negro in religion, in politics in industry. But this fact holds This is a white man's country.
This is a white mans' country in which the colored race is outnumbered ten to one. Woe unto him in so hopeless a minority who 'would attempt to assert himself too bold or exercise an aggressiveness displeasing to the majority. He is in a fair way to get his head knocked off and be trampled under foot. He can never step over a white man: that colored man is wise who listens not seriously to the race-conscious leader, but who follows in the footsteps of his wily old father and grandfather who knew how to step around a white man, keep on good terms with him and get the most out of him.
Oh. I know how the heart of the Negro is grieved at the stigma that attaches to his color I know how his head is bowed and his heart is crushed by the inhumanities of white mobs that rend and tear his helpless brother on occasion; I know how the refined nature of the better class Negro shrinks from the insults that come from his daily contacts with ignorant whites. But what the Negro fails to understand and appreciate is the fact that the white race itself is burdened with bestiality, stupidity and ignorance. There are more ignorant whites in America today than there are ignorant Negroes, because there are so many more whites than Negroes.
The white man carries two burdens: the burden of the ignorant and unfit of his own race and the burden of the ignorant and unfit of the colored race. The Negro should not be too bitter or resentful because the white state is not at present disposed to deal as liberally with its colored people as with its own blood kin. The white race has yet a long way to go in the matter of elevating itself before it can be reasonably expected to go as far as it should in the elevation of another race.
