FOLLOW THE GUIDE It Leads To PROGRESS VOL. XXVI No. 48 AIKENMOB SEEKING WHITE Scheme To Get N. A. A. C. P. Investigator's Return FILE BRIBERY CHARGE New York, Nov. 22—Startling developments in the exposure of conditions surrounding the recent lynching of one colored woman and two men in Aiken, South Carolina, include the following: 1. A letter from L. G. Southard, white lawyer who defended the mob victims, to Walter White, asserting that the "bribery" charges against the N. A. A. C. P. investigator were "all bluff and intimidation," but that they represented "a scheme to get you back there to do violence to you." Mr. Southard volunteers to come North and appear before Governor Smith of New York to argue against extradition of Mr. White should extradition be demanded by Governor McLeod. Mr. Southard writes to Mr. White: "You started the work and that is what they do not work and they know that the world will know the guilty ones and that is another thing that they do not want." 2. A sworn affidavit has been sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 69 Fifth avenue, signed by J. Murray Lane, a white man who was in court when Demon Lowman was acquitted and immediately afterwards saw "law enforcement" officers "jugging around the jail," clearing away automobiles. The affidavit in full reads as follows: South Carolina, Aiken County. Personally appeared before me J. Murray Lane, sworn says, That on the afternoon and evening of October 7th, 1925, immediately after Demon Lowman had been declared not guilty in Court of General Sessions at Aiken I was in and around Aiken Court House at Aiken, S. C., that policeman J. Woodward came out and ordered all cars to move from around the jail and schoolhouse. I saw juggling around the jail by the officers, Nollie Robinson, A. D. Sheppard, Nollie G. Paldy, Ed Strews, and not many others, some did, all of them appeared very sore and mad. This was between sundown and dark, right after court adjourned. I went on home and did not know that the three Lowmans had been taken from the jail and lynched until the next morning, but I sure was expecting to hear it, from what I saw the evening before. The four names mentioned in the affidavit are among those sent to Gov. McLeod by Mr. White.

N. C. COLLEGE ASKS $750,000 OF LEGISLATURE Three-fourths Of A Million Asked Of The Budget Commission (Bg Preston News Service) Durham, N. C., Nov. 22—Three-fourths of a million dollars is the amount of North Carolina College for Negroes at Durham will ask the budget commission to approve for action by the General Assembly in order to carry out a two-year building program and make other improvements classed as necessary if the state institution is to be permitted to carry on the work it is supposed to do and to continue to grow to meet the demands of the Negro youth of the state, declared Dr. James E. Shepard, president. The improvements and new buildings are desired as the result of a series of fires which destroyed some of the more important buildings during the past two years. Only temporary buildings have been erected to serve in their places. According to Dr. Shepard ten new buildings are needed, six being planned for next year and four for the following year. The college officials and interested influential white friends of the institution declare that something must be done to meet the increasing demands and needs of the school to serve the youth of the state. It is thought that the budget commission will report favorably on the request and that the General Assembly will approve the action.

Read Keely Miller, on Page 14 9 "The chief factors in the establishment of racial harmony and cooperation in North Carolina are economic opportunity, educational advantages, the administration of justice, the influence of leadership, and work of the State Interracial Committee. "With the approval and assistance of the white man, the Negro is steadily buying land, acquiring homes, and becoming a property holder. He is more and more entering the learned professions such as teaching, law, medicine, dentistry. He is engaging in every kind of business; banking, merchandising, entering, and contracting, making his way to trade and occupation that is practiced in the state. "What the state is doing in education is most important. Under the able leadership of Prof. N. C. Newbold, director of the division of Negro education, of the State Department of Education, and with the active sympathy of State Superintendent of Public Instruction A. T. Allen a very remarkable work is in progress. The state is maintaining public elementary, secondary, and high schools, normal schools, and colleges. It is itering good school buildings, providing equipment, training teachers and raising academic standards. For a five-year period, 1921 to 1925 inclusive, the state spent approximately $18,000 per year on a zero education—a sum greater than it spent for both races; its entire educational system from the elementary schools through the university for the five-year period 1910-1915. "Nothing that is being done in (Continued on Page Eight) Did You ever stop to think? NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1926 That the advertisers in the Journal and Guide are your best friends. That they are helping to maintain a race institution that is giving dignified and lucrative employment to many sons and daughters of your people which is an indirect aid to the race as a whole. Such is true, and, as a reader of the Journal and Guide, and one who is appreciative of the ideals for which it stands—if you have a race consciousness and believe in helping those who help you, patronize the merchants who advertise thru this medium and tell them you appreciate the fact that they are advertising in the Journal and Guide. SENATORS TO FACE ISSUE Question Of Legality South's Election Laws Looms SEATING FIGHT SURE Washington, D. C., Nov. 22—It is rumored around the capital in quite authoritative political circles that certain Northern and Western Senators plan to force an issue on the legality of the election of certain Southern Senators, should the Senators from the South insist upon forcing an issue upon the seating of Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania and Senator-elect Smith, of Illinois, in the next Congress. Attention is being called to the fact that Southern Senators who are taking an active part in the plan to deny Vare and Smith seats in the United States Senate, are elected in primaries from which Negro citizens are excluded and elections in which if Negroes vote their votes not among the Political leaders throughout the North and Middle-West are pointing to this practice as illegal and are asking "which Senator is more undesirable, the one who is elected by huge expenditures, or the one by the disfranchisement of a group of citizens on account of race and color." These leaders are referring to the fact that alleged expenditures that have "tainted Vare and Smith" were made in the primaries and made public long before the elections, yet the voters elected them by large majorities, but in the South only a portion of the citizens are permitted to exercise their rights of citizenship and that Southern Democratic Senators are elected by this group. DR. DU BOIS HERE DECEMBER 3RD. DR. DU BOIS HERE DECEMBER 3RD. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, author and lecturer of international note, will speak in Norfolk on Friday night, December 3.

American Released From Cuban Prison For Assisting In Two Executions (Preston News Service) Havana, Cuba, Nov. 24—Frank Davis, aged 59, of Savannah, Ga., who recently acted as an assistant executioner in the garroting of the two murderers in the Santiago jail, has been pardoned. Davis, a native Spanish-American war, in which he served as a sergeant in the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, was serving a sentence for robbery. It is understood that his pardon was granted for his assistance in two garrotings. PASTORS TO AID RACE HISTORY Ministers Will Lift Collections For The Cause It is quite certain that impetus will be given to the effort to raise at once Virginia's quota of $400 in the $20,000 campaign on behalf of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, of Washington director, now that the ministers of Norfolk, Portsmouth and vicinity have definitely gone on record endorsing the movement and pledging their moral and material support to it. The Baptist pastors at their weekly meeting at First Calvary Baptist Church Monday noon, on suggestion of Rev. O. C. Jones, of Portsmouth, adopted a resolution in support of the campaign and obliged themselves individually to lift collections of their respective congregations on behalf of it between now and Sunday, December 5. On Tuesday the A. M. E. ministers at their weekly meeting in St. John's Church, too, endorsed the movement through the adoption of a resolution and set apart Sunday, December 26, as a date upon which the churches of which they are the pastors will lift collections for the History Association. It is quite definitely ascertained that the members of the Interdenominational Ministers' Conference will take similar steps at its next weekly meeting. Lively discussions giving strong and unanimous endorsement to the work of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History were precipitated at both meetings, and considerable praise was accorded Dr. Woodson for his unseafish and arduous efforts to "set" the world straight regarding the part the Negro has played in the making of civilization. It is reported, though not definitely ascertained, that several other clubs, lodges and organizations in the city will fall in line with the ministers and put forth an effort for the benefit of this cause.

American Consul Investigates In his conference with Mr. Miranda the American Consul was assured that every facility would be offered to so handle the regulations that no unnecessary hardship might be imposed upon the respectable law-abiding Black American. AIR ARKANSAS PEONAGE CHARGE BEFORE COURT Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 22—In the judicial hands of Lester H. Brenner, U. S. Commissioner, rests the fate of four men, employees of the R. L. Wilson Company, of Wilson, Ark., who are charged with poignance as a result of a complaint made by Bud Powell, a cotton picker. It is on his testimony, given Thursday, that the government hopes to have James Crane, geography manager; Jesse Greer, deputy sheriff; Robert Douglass and Tom Crane, held to the grand jury. Powell testified that he was "arrested" in Memphis, October 10, carried back to Wison, where he was jailed. He said they released him when he promised he would pick the rest of his cotton and that from the time of his "arrest" until his escape in June he had never faced justice. The commissioner has taken the case under advisement and will announce his findings later. N. Y. Paper Box Strikers Appeal to Negro Scabs (By Preston News Service) New York, Nov. 26—B3 special appeal to all Colored Workers" has been put out by the Paper Box Makers' Union under manager Fred Caiola. The union is striking for recognition in all shops and improved working conditions. Colored strikebreakers have been brought in in some cases and are said to have even been made to assault white and colored pickets. The union declares that it does not discriminate against colored workers in any way and protects them in their employment peace times when their employees urge the union to remove colored workers from shops. Colored members of the union are said to be staunchly fighting with the rest of the members for union conditions. The union criarial appeals to non-union colored workers to consider that the employers will cast them aside when the strike is over, because they have no union to protect them, and urges all to join the union fight. PREACHER DISMISSED ON LIQUOR CHARGE The charge against Rev. C. W. Moore, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, church in Franklin, Va., of opening automobile under the influence of liquor on October 27, was found untrue and dismissed after a hearing at the Corporation Court at Norfolk. 7. PETER J. MISSISSIPPI RETARDSRACE EDUCATION Funds For Whites 20 Times Greater Than Negroes New York, Nov. 19—The Christmas "Crisis" out this week, publishes the second article, on Mississippi, in the series of surveys undertaken by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois on the Negro Common Schools in Southern states, pursuant to the gift of $3,000 made by the Garland Fund for this purpose. The first such collection in Georgia has already been published. The article published this month, shows glaring discrepancies in the amounts spent on Negro and white schools in Mississippi, the figures given for a number of typical counties being as follows: | County | White | Colored | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Amite | $13.64 | $2.58 | | Bolivar | 43.33 | 2.26 | | Conhoma | 42.85 | 3.21 | | Noxubee | 43.55 | 3.00 | | Washington | 43.09 | 2.97 | | Tunica | 63.12 | 4.40 | | Warron | 44.50 | 2.03 | No Provision For Blind In Mississippi, according to the Crisis report, there is no provision for the colored blind children and school for colored feeble-minded children. In many counties, Negro teachers receive less than one-third of the salary paid to whites, the Negro teachers' salaries in some Mississippi counties being as low as $20.13 a month. Although the whites have voted themselves consolidated rural schools with up-to-date buildings and equipment valued at $9,416,051.00, there is not one such school for Negroes in the state. The State has spent for white teachers' homes, $729,750.00, and not one cent spent. Negro teachers' homes. Many Mississippi counties are reported to run their Negro schools for only four months a year, although the counties may be found consolidated rural schools for whites running nine months. For the only colored college in the state, the legislature declined to make an appropriation of $100,000 to meet an offer of a similar sum from a benevolent organization, although the legislature recently appropriated about $5,000,000 for the white colleges of the state.

The police say that Peel and McGill were witnesses against Johnson, who was charged with killing Dennis Boss about a year ago. ALL NEWS THAT'S WORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS DR. JOSEPH J. FRANCE IS DEAD One Of South's Most Distinguished Men Passes Away NATIVE OF W. AFRICA Dr. Joseph J. France, one of the most successful and distinguished practicing physicians of the South, died at his residence at Effingham and Glasgow streets, Portsmouth, Tuesday morning at 5:35 o'clock in his 61st year. His funeral will be held at Zion Baptist Church Friday, Nov. 26, at 2 p. m. Dr. France was a native African, having been born in Accra, West Africa, where he received his academic training and was later employed as a clerk by the Baptist Missionary Society. He came to this country at the instance of and under the supervision of the late Dr. Tupper, founder and president of Shaw University, in 1885, matriculating at Shaw and studying for one year. He later entered the University of Pennsylvania where he received his medical degree, winning free scholarship to that institution in a competitive ex- tition. Dr. France graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1893, and began the practice of medicine in Portsmouth in July of the same year. He was recognized as a profound scholar in both literature and the medical science. He held membership in all of the recognized medical bodies with which members of his race affiliated and stood high in their councils. As a practicing physician his fame was national; his practice was wide and his genius was a by-word throughout this community. He was a member of the Pythian lodge, of the Tidewater Medical Association, the Old Dominion Medical Association and the National Medical Association and a trustee of Zion Church. Although enjoying a practice that for years heavily taxed his energies, he was invariably associated with and often at the head of movements having for their object race and community uplift. His business connections were extensive, and his religious worship devout. In the esteem of the medical world Dr. Joseph J. France held an enviable position and in the respect of his fellow-citizens his position was eminent. The progress of medical science is distinctively marked step by step in the thirty-three years that Dr. France practiced medicine in Portsmouth. Practically every advanced thought projected into the medical world became his in the course of his work. Always at the forefront in his profession he advanced oftimes ahead, but never less than abref of his time. Death came after a lingering illness of several weeks, after the science in which he himself was so well versed had exhausted its final effort to save his life. He had returned to this city, one of five weeks go from Mayo Broth-Cliff Clinic to Rochester, Minn., where he had gone to seek treatment and advice from the ablest minds of his profession. His condition was scarcely improved by his stay at this hospital. Death was the culmination of a complication of diseases. Dr. France is survived by his widow, Mary. Mary E. France, Mrs. Mary E. France, a brother and aunt, Guishard, a brother and several relations. Another instance of how extensively the Journal and Guide is read comes to the attention of the publishers this week in a letter from Alberqueur, New Mexico, from an Elk booster who asks through the columns of this paper if he may obtain a charter for organizing an Elk lodge in his home town and men to start with, and add it amlonese out there in New Mexico without my brother "Bills," so I ask you, "Bills" write me at once, and give the desired information."

In his usual forceful and persuasive presentation, he organized the necessity of the church knowing the pastor. Said he, "this knowledge is more than a mere acquaintance. There must be spiritual acknowledgment, it signifies that they are to be known and recognized as servants of God, and improved as such." Speaking of the relation of the officers to the pastor, he said, "as it is impossible for a captain to man a ship without efficient mats, pulses can be maintained with many possibilities of a church without the cooperation of his officers.

STUDY THE BRAIN AND ITS WORKINGS Our bodies and brains are nothing more than machines governed by definite and known mechanical laws. As a matter of fact they are antiquated machines; for our physical equipment changes slowly and has not been able to keep up with civilization, especially the mechanical civilization that has speeded up our rate of living. have a machine that was designed to run at twenty miles an hour, but to keep up with the procession we are forced to run it at sixty miles an hour. Under these circumstances it is imperative that with it closely, understand it thoroughly, and keep it in the best of condition. Study The Brain And Its Workings As a serious and protective hobby for the business man, may I suggest the study of the brain and its workings. It is our most valuable tool and it will pay to know all you can about it. You will find out a number of interesting things that cut down the lost motion in mental action. You will discover, for instance, that enthusiasm takes the place of driven energy. Activity resulting from enthusiasm requires no will power and almost no effort and can be maintained for long periods without appreciable fatigue. Effort, on the other hand, is required the moment that enthusiasm lags and effort drains on the storage battery of energy. That is why harmony and enthusiastic cooperation in any organization is really important. Unpleasantness and friction destroy enthusiasm. You will find that work has seldom killed anyone, but that worry is almost as fatal as arsenic. Worry and fear not only paralyzes the creative functions of the brain but they form a poison in the physical system that must be counteracted. Again, the amount of sleep required to recharge energy is directly in proportion to the amount of effort necessary to hold your attention to the job that you are doing. The man depriving us of sleep; the man expending conscious effort requires much.

Asks That Public Co-Operate With Blyden Library Although you have heard nothing from Blyden for some time, the work is still being pushed along all lines, and we feel that it has been a forward move. It will be interesting to note that many of the schools are sending their pupils in large numbers for reference work. They are also our greatest readers. This is gratifying, when we consider that they are to be the future leaders of the masses along all lines of advancement and uplift work, yet this library has been established to satisfy the needs of the men and women readers of Norfolk as well as the children. We regret to report the slow growth of readers among the adults or grown-ups. Figures from the reports show that we are drawing fewer books than any other branches. This is appalling when we consider there is only one branch for our people against several for the opposite race. Our city has made great advancement along educational lines, and there is no longer an excuse for our people failing to take advantage of the opportunities that are provided. The latest and best in current fiction that is being published by a special committee for that purpose. The best magazines, among which are World's Work, Review of Reviews, Current History, Literary Digest; Outlook, American Magazine, Opportunity, Crisis, Journal of Negro History, together with some special magazines for children and others we can't mention here may be found at Blyden. The Journal and Guide, the people's paper, which is donated and sent regularly, and one of the best dailies published give us the news of Norfolk and the country at large about which we would do so to inform ourselves. Although Blyden is vehemently sixth year's work, it is surprising to find persons who are totally uninformed as to its object and requirements. The question how much does it cost to take out a book? or what do I have to pay to join the library? are heard. Much more effective work could be accomplished if our people as a whole would to greater interest in the library. If the work is to grow, each one share in the responsibility in making it stand for real progress. Many of our young women are preparing themselves for librarians. We are in great need of children's libraries where the little ones will have special attention along many lines as stories told then, but we cannot expect to make any real progress without the cooperation and help of the public. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE gestions For Be Why Some Children Don't Confide In Their Mothers BY CAROLYN DUNGEE Heretofore it has been beyond in why my friends do not confide in their mothers, but now that I've investigated a bit, I see a few reasons why. It is both the child's and mother's fault. my child to sit down wherein he is wrong, shouldn't do that thing it is to yell and shout and no business doing better not do it again. Then again, not only that are wrong, does not tell his mother, but he does every day. he might make a woe Now mothers, don't consider me impertinent for saying this because I'm not saying this because I'm trying to lower you in your children's sight but am endowering to help you win your child's confidence. When a child tells her mother something, instead of her trying to show her her mistakes, she quarrels and makes it plain that she has done wrong, but the child doesn't know why she's wrong. For example: Fifteen year old Lylsk is allowed to go to a party and she permits her boy friend to walk home with her afterwards. He asks permission to embrace her and she grants it because her older girl friends who call themselves "experienced with boys" had told her that she must allow her bear to embrace her if she wanted to keep him. She did not want to appear "catty" as the girls called it. Unfortunately for Lylsk, the town gossip, Mrs. Price caught her in the act and threatened to tell Mrs. Gullowe, Lylsk's mother. Lylsk decides to tell her mother first. Not having had occasion to confide in her mother before, Lylsis had no id: a what the outcome would be. The minute her mother learned that she allowed a boy to walk home with her she yelled and fussed and, told Lylsis that she'd not go to another party again that summer. You can imagine what she did and said when she learned that the boy embraced her daughter. Though it was a week later that "Gossipier Price" (as the people caked her) teld Mrs. Cutlowe, Lylsie was fussed at again. Do you suppose Lysie will confide in her mother again? Indeed not. Do you blame her? Who's fault is it that she doesn't?

For Better any child to sit down to show him wherein he is wrong and why he shouldn't do that thing again, than it is to yell and shout that, "You and no business doing it, and you better not do it again." etc. Then again, not only such things that are wrong, does a child wish to tell his mother, but the things he does every day. For instance he might make a wonderful speech in the school auditorium one day, and is praised for it. He wants his mother to share his happiness. Instead of her encouraging him to do better she tells him to go away because she doesn't want to hear that school junk. Can you blame him for not telling his mother anything again? Certainly not. When children pick up certain things of interest to them, they are afraid to approach their mothers with it. If it is not always the mother's fault but her child does not confide in her, because there are several mothers who are hurt because their children do not confide in them. Some children don't know how to approach their mothers to ask them things that they want and should know. They feel "quarer" or "hashtful" asking their mother things that concern them, but yet they don't mind discussing it with other children. It is indeed wrong for a child not to ask his mother things that he should know. Mother isn't a slave, to feed and clothe one, but she is a friend who is willing to help and guide one through the dangerous paths of life. If I have influenced some mother to accept her child's confidence differently from what Lylie's mother did or some child to begin to confide in her mother, I feel that I have accomplished much, but if not, I feel that I have wasted your time and mine. I hope the readers of this article will excuse me for being personal, but I am thankful to state that my mother is willing and glad to discuss and explain any subject I might approach her with, and she has encountered my confidence. live is only a Estate t to your family FE INSURANCE known substitute; or you have gone. to arrange for it OW UR FAMILY LINA MUTUAL RANCE CO. n, N.

Austin, Texas—Samuel Huston College steam rolled Texas College 74-0 or better than a point a minute this afternoon before a crowd of eight hundred fans By defeating Texas College, Samuel Haston College ranks with Howard and Tuskegee as one of the few undefeated teams of this season. The Crimson team has not been scored upon this season and has piled up 300 points in five games played. The playing of Silver Toe Russ was the outstanding feature of the game. He stopped the majority of the plays Texas attempted thru the line and aided his fellow backs when they were carrying the ball. He did the kicking for his team and also the major part of the passing. Whenever he carried the ball the Texas College Team seemed to lose heart and let him go after many unsuccessful attempts to throw him for a loss or stop him from gaining. The Crimson Triangle of Russia, Harben and Owens gave an exhibition of three of the greatest triple threat players in football. All of them did remarkable kicking when called upon to do so.

Inquire 334 Nicholson St. BIG TEAMS FAVORED IN FINAL TIPS AND HUNCHES OF SEASON It seems only yesterday, that the gong sounded marking the opening of a season of pigskin revelry, but it is more than that, because Thanksgiving has rushed in upon us crowding out the season proper, and this week is a week of welcome for the many battle-scarred knights of the moleskins out in the wide open spaces where men are men and broken necks, ribs and legs are mere trifles. Thanksgiving is the day of days and it brings to a climax, a season of the year that proves more gruelling than any other on the menu of the schools, colleges and universities of the land. The falling of the curtain each year, seems to sound the closing of one of the best seasons and one that was filled with most upets. Each year seems the best and most brilliant, therefore it shall not be said here that Thanksgiving marks the close of one of the most hectic, brilliant and scintillating seasons in the annals of football. Most of them have proved great and this year is no exception. But just before this season has been crowded out, another fling at experting, selecting, picking, foretelling and all that silly rot, will be taken. At this stage, most of us assume a prophetical turn of mind and call upon all manner of sequippeddians to add color and dash to these prophecies. Important Frays From the smallest school in the most out of the way hamlet to the largest university in the land, have games on their Thanksgiving card, and all of these tilts are as important and more so than any other game on the season's program. Some of the most important games of the day will be between Howard and Lincoln in the east, Hampton and Union in the—well in this section, what ever it is dubbed. Morehouse-Fisk, Atlanta Morris Brown and Tuskegee Southern Universty in the Southland. HOWARD-LIXCOLN at Washington. Here is that annual classic of chasies and a game in which all of the season's扑 up fury is unknee in innumerable quantities. Lincoln meets Howard in the back yard of the Bisons, with the odds against the Pennsylvania clan. Heward had the better squad last season, but failed to romp to victory, despite the chances that cropped up. Heward carries the better eleven this season and should romp to a decisive victory over the Lion pack. Lincoln has the edge when it comes to a flashy hardfield, but the strong line of the Bison delegation should not DOPE RECERVED STIFF JOLT WHEN BLUEFIELD SWAMPS VA. SEMINARY 35-12 COUNT Bluefield, W. Va.—Bluefield Institute's Big Blue Team swamped the Virginia Seminary eleven 25-12 in a fast played game in the Bluefield Institute Bowl. Ability to cash in the other team's weaknesses and the brilliant passing of the Bluefield wizard, Herb Cain, sums up the reason for the upsetting of the old dope basket today. Bluefield scored two touchdown by the way of the interception of passes from Wheedee. Cain intercepted one and ran forty yards for a touchdown and Buford snagged another of Wheedee's heaves and scored thirty yards for the other. Cain, who was Bluefield's greatest star made the longest run of the season when he caught Wheedee's punt on his own twenty-five yard line and ran seventy-five yard thru that the gong sounded marking skin revelry, but it is more than as rushed in upon us crowding s week is a week of welcome forats of the moleskins out in the are men and broken necks, ribs experience tons of difficulty in stopping the advances of Hibbler and Martin. From end to end, Howard has a line that seems as strong as any she has been able to boast of in many moons and with this the hard crashing of Brown, Ross and Smith and the generalship of Jack Coles, the most outstanding quarter of the season, the Washington team should crash over before the end of the fourth period. Two touchdowns should not be too many for Howard to make against the Lincoln squad, in fact, we expect the victory to be decisive. HAMPTON-UNION at Hampton. Here we shall see one of the most brilliant games of the season and one of the best these two schools have staged since the beginning of their athletic relations. Hampton looks like a sure repeater this year, adding to her large number of victories over the Red and Steele machines. Union has gone through the season without a single defeat and has chalked up wins over all opponents met. Hampton has done likewise, but the tie game played with Va. Seminary causes Hampton to take second place in the team standings, closely crowding Union for first honors. Hampton's wins have been as impressive as Union's. The Seasiders decisively defeated all teams that they have won from, while Union had a close call on more than one occasion. Well, as for the winner, Hampton carries the edge. Union has the most versatile set of backs in Shields, Moton, Thompson, McForland and Breaux, but Hampton has the most consistent and smooth working aggregation. While, Union's first line of defense is nothing to brag about. Hampton has much strength in this department. Williams, Thatcher, Baker am Bryd might not be as flashy as the Union point scoring quartet, but it is more consistent in its machine like precision. Hampton appears at least two touchdowns stronger than Union and we expect her to garner the 14 points ere the game has ended. As sure as Hampton makes two touchdowns, the usually unerring STIFF JOLT FIELD SWAMPS Y 35-12 COUNT the whole Seminary team for the second score of the game, Jeffries of Bluefield made the first score of the game when he connected with a thirty yard pass by Cain and raced five yards for a marker. Cain also contributed more to the sum total of the evenings work when he put over a neat drop kick from the thirty yard line. The last Bluefield touchdown was made after a twenty yard run on a fake play by Cain after a march up the field and Wiggins took it over on another fake through guard. In the third quarter, Seminary came back and after a series of line plunges ripped the Bluefield line for a touchdown. Watson and Brown figured largely in the Seminary ground gaining. It seemed that Bluefield could not stop them. Again in this quarter Seminary took the offensive and scored on a twenty yard run by Watson after a cross buck. Bluefield got going again in the third period and after a series of passes and brilliant runs by Cain and Wiggins. Wiggins went over for the last marker of the game. Gallion kicked the goal. On the Blufield team everyone played super football. Cain, Cunningham, Bluford, Jeffries, Thompson, and Wiggins starred at all times. For seminary, Watson and Brown were the shining lights. Brown's defensive work helped greatly in Seminary keeping down no score. HOE OUT OF MUST toe of Baker will chalk up two extra points. In this game, Baker will also come through with a field goal.

Hughes is the best bet for Shaw, but he cannot play the game alone. Shaw will be fortunate to advance beyond the 50-yard line. VA. STATE-ST. PAUL at Petersburg. Now here is where a hectic struggle will be enacted and St. Paul will come out on top before it is all over. State has a wonderful team, but it will experience trouble when it tackles the Tigers on the season's closing day. Of course, St. Paul is minus the brilliant work of Byrd, but she can rely on the work of the other backs, with Hudson doing the kicking. With Pierce and Williamson in the line, the Petersburgers will have trouble in crashing through on these stalwarts. WILBERFORGE - WEST VIRGINIA at Charleston. This seems to be the big green team's chance to avenge last year's 7-3 defeat at the hands of the West Virginia Bob Cats. Wilberforce has come through the season pretty nicely, suffering a 7-0 defeat at the hands of Howard, while West Virginia succumbed to a 13-7 trouncing. This will be a closely contested affair with the scoring very close. Neither has a great deal to spare, but 'Force should case over with one. TUSKEEGE-SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY at Tuskegee. Abbot's Tigers will romp to a decisive victory over the delegation of Southern and ought to come out on the heavy end of a big score. ATLANTA-MORRIS BROWN at Atlanta. The Crimson Hurricane will be primed to lambast the day lights out of Brown in this game and will crash to victory. Atlanta ought to clinch this game, well before the game is over. In their annual tilt, Fisk seems to have the edge over Morehouse and ought to roll over for a tally to take the encounter. Alabama State will have little trouble in downing the Florida Aggies, but State should come thru with colors flying high.

New York—Playing their best game of the season, the New York team defeated the West New York football team on the latters home grounds Sunday, by the score of 23-0. From the outset, it was apparent that the lighter West New York's team was no match for the blue-jerseyed "A's" and it was just a question of what the score would be. In the first quarter, while running back a punt, Ted Bolden hurt his apple and was removed in favor of Gilmer. From then on, the colored boys dashed all over the field. A succession of line plays and end runs brought the hall within striking distance of the West New York goal. Allen Jackson was called to take it over and he made the first touchdown of the season for the colored boys. In the second quarter, Lucas intercepted a West New York pass and raced forty-five yards for the second touchdown. A safety in the third quarter, added two more points for New York. Then in the last quarter, Gilmer ploughed thru the entire West New York team for the third and last touchdown of the game. Allen Jackson Hicked the ball over on each touchdown for the extra point. The game was helped up briefly on account of an injury to the game little A. S. C. end. Merritt, who suffered a broken ankle.

Review Speaks On Church Affairs In The City The A. M. E. Church of America is in better condition and in safer hands, than it has ever been in its history, declared Rev. Dr. J. G. Robinson, editor of the A. M. E. Review, who was a visitor at the A. M. E. Ministers' Conference at its weekly meeting in St. John's Church Tuesday noon. Dr. Robinson delivered a spirited address to the local pastors in which he asserted that the creditable achievements of the church of the present day far outweigh its alleged faults; the assertions of its critics notwithstanding. He declared that leaders of the church of the church of the present day circumcise which particularly include the higher intelligence of the laity, to be better educated, more faithful to the trust and more courageous. In this respect, he repeated, the leaders of the A. M. E. Church measure beyond the average. Dr. Robinson mentioned the great physical expansion of the denomination which is represented in the mammoth and modern houses of worship that are being or have been recently erected in the educational urban centers; he briefly reviewed the growth of the educational plants of the denomination and concluded with an emphatic declaration that the A. M. E. Church "takes no backward step." Another visitor at the conference was Rev. W. J. Beckett, of Caperville, Eastern Shore, who related incidents of his almost half a century in the ministry, and exhorted the younger pastors to faithfulness in their trust. Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry delivered the response to those addresses in impressive style. Rev. Dr. Robinson was accompanied to this city by Rev. Dr. Hatcher, of Richmond, for whom he has been conducting evangelical services in that city. Emancipation Parade Prizes On Exhibit Prizes valued at $500,00 which have been donated by various business concerns of the city to the Norfolk Emancipation Association to be awarded as prizes for excellent showing in the January 1, parade are on exhibit in the store window of T.

Bank St. Baptist Church The large congregation present at Bank Street, Church listened to a touching edifying sermon during the morning service, Sunday. Dr. Watkins spoke on the subject, "Lift up your heads, ch ye gates!" from the 24th Psalm. The speaker went on to stress the thought that God's lordship over creation is evidenced in his own creative power and his power to sustain all creation. His lordship especially extends to the extent of the light, the essence of the Psalmist entreats us, "Lift up your heads, oh ye gates and the King of Glory shall come into the lives of the redened. He has redeemed them and they belong to Him by redemption. God has a right to expect service and praise from all people and especially from His redeemed. By His word to His people, He is able to supply their needs both temporal and spiritual." He has pledged them security, and eternal salvation upon his grounded power. God blesses him, and no one can afford to lighten His God. Whoever shuts his life against the Kingship of God is but closing the gates against Himself, is but cheating himself of a great private privilege. Who ever lets Christ come in is assured that when Christ comes he brings salvation himself. The joy of church life is that it is a life of service and fellowship with God and man. How many know when was the time or what the circumstances when God cried out, "It is coughn"? Not many, of us, know, but Rev. Richard H. Bowling promises to tell us all about it in a special sermon at the First Church, Chishua this Sunday night. It is an interesting story, which this Rev. Richard says the Rev. Richard and many interesting questions arise out of the story's telling. A number of new members are being added to the mixed choir. It is the plan of Mr. Harrison to have this choir one of the largest and most trained in the city. This is becoming rapidly necessary as a result of the frequent visits of distinguished white citizens at the evening services. A wave of revival seems to have taken off during last few Sun days. This week has passed during the month without conversions and additions to the church manliness. There are still some four five dozen the waiting list of candidates for habilitation. Anniversary Series At Bethlehem Baptist Come To A Closc Two vacks, services in observance of the sixth anniversary of Rev. Nelson B. Brown as pastor of Biblical Church Baptist Church closed Sunday night with much guesses. A large number of pastors of Norfolk, Portsmouth and vicinity took part in the services assisted by their choirs and members of their congregations, and a number of business and professional men also appeared on the program. The sermons were of a high order as was the music rendered by the various choirs. The collections were liberal and the commissions expended: Rev. Mr. Brown upon the close of his six years successful pastorate at Bethlehem were profuse. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services were of high spiritual fervor last Sunday in Mt. Lebanon. The early morning prayer meeting was very uplifting. The Sunday school met at the usual hour with quite a number present. After the teachers instructed the classes, they made fine reports, the Adult Class wining the banner. At 11:30 a.m., a very large congregation was present to hear the pastor presentation on the Eighth Commandment. In the afternoon, the service was realized a good collection at night the White Wings Social and Beneficial Association worshipped in a body. The day closed with two additions to the membership. Next Sunday the pastor will preach on the Ninth Commandment. The Missionary Circle will have a service at 3 p.m., and at night the pastor will preach the meritorious woman to the Tase of Life Lodge. Musical And Royal Wedding On Tuesday night, November 9, there was given a musical and beautiful Royal Wedding at Alen's Chapel A. M. E. Church on Chapel street. Decked with roses and flowers of many kinds, the wedding march began and the maids bearing flowers and the ring had marched in, and the marriage was performed by Atty, V. C. Hodges. Before the bride came in Dr. U. S. G. Jones, sang, "O Promise Me." After the marriage there was another solo by Master Alfred Berry. Among those present from other churches were Rev. F. D.

BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH The Sabbath school was well attended and the lesion was interestingly taught. The morning sermon was helpful, having had a well prepared sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. R. L. Harris. In the afternoon the services were quite well attended and a most instructive sermon was delivered by Rev. Havney N. Johnson, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. He and his congregation rendered splendid services, and a liberal contribution was given. This coming Sunday Rev. C. P. Madison, choir and congregation, will render services here at 3:30 p. m. MONUMENTAL A. M. E. CHURCHI Sunday, Nov. 21, presented a rare trent to the worshippers at Monumental, the pastor-preached Sunday morning to a very appreciative audience on the subject, "The Magnanimity of Christ." His discussion in a large measure dealt with the greatness of mind; elevation and dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquility and firmness, which h raises the possessor above revenge, which makes him disdain tice and maneness; prompts acumen and acuteness for noble objects. He beautifully showed forth the difference between magnanimity and geniusity, saying: generosity is from the heart, but magnanimity is from the soul. The former is the virtue of an individual the latter of one who is elevated by station or influence. The message was a masterpiece and a complete triumph of pulpit oratory and logic. It was truly raided by those who heard the message that Dr. Clark was at his best in this message. A very large number of visitors went and worshiped with us. Among them were J. T. Givens, Mr. H. Teem, Mr. J. T. Tanner, Madam Waldorf, Mrs. Cornelius Stoke, Mr. F. E. White, Lawyer Stewart of Washington, D. C., Mr. Winford Stevens of Philadelphia, and many others. REV. CLARK URGES BETTER RACE SPIRIT In his so mon Sunday night, Rev A. C. Clark, pastor of Monumental A. M. E. Church, did not tail in his plea for the awakening of race consciousness, and said the church needs to put on a program that will touch every phantom of the social life of today. Christianity must reconstruct, readjust and recognize society. And that the Negro preaches: must sound the alarm and take a stand for the civil and Christian. manhood of the black man; and that it should be his duty to teach the people from the pulpit that they have a right to enjoy every right he can win in the field of politics, government, industry, education and faith. And a kind of remembrance preaches the kind of memoirs that would pilot the race over the stormy waters of racial prejudice; to lift for the people a standard; to arouse them from under the Juniper tree of pessimism; to believe in themselves and self help. The moving pictures of the creation-provided of much interest to all Next Sunday is Men's Day. HSME-COMING DAY AT SECOND CALVARY Sunday, November 28.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "REJOICE UNDER THE SHADOW OF GOD'S WINGS," URGES PASTOR IN HIS THANKSGIVING SERMON Rev. I. M. Gray Delivers Fervent Message To A. M. E. Ministers "Bahold thou hast been my help therefore, in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice." Psalm 63:7; began Rev. I. M. Gray, pastor of Brown's A. M. E. Church, Smithfield-Va, in preaching the annual Thanksgiving sermon before the A. M. E. Minisers' Conference at St. John's Church, Norfolk, Tuesday noon. "We often miss much of the meaning of the Psalms," continued Rev. Mr. Gray, "by not considering the circumstances under which they were written. If we know these circumstances we can enter more fully into the writers' spirit. For instance, the Psalms "is cased in a case," David "writing when he was in the wilderness of Judah, denied of the affection and loyalty of his son, banished from his palace, and driven from his throne—David wandered as a patridge in the mountains. "But if they had robbed David of this throne, they had not robbed him of his God, 'O my God,' he, 'thou art my God.'" "Many people brood over their troubles and increase their burden, instead of taking them to the Lord and obtaining Divine help." "David in his greatness was able to God, souls. His help and found comfort. Oh, God, the art my God, mark these personal moments." My God, my soul thirsteth for thee—my soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; my mouth shall praise thee." "Gifted with a noble manhood, but with his best feeling wounded, "National Prosperity Cause For Thanksgiving"He Says Ministers' Conference Hears Rev. Dr. Adolphus Hobbs In Special Direcourse "Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for his mercy endureth forever,"—105 Psalm, is first, verses ban收, A. Hobbs, pastor of Jerusalem Baptist Church, preaching the Thankgiving season, with the help of the Newfok, Portsmouth and vicinity at their weekly meeting at First Calvary Baptist Church Monday noon. Continuing Dr. Hobbs said: "In reading the 103rd Psalm and the 104th in connection with this one from whence we have taken out text, we find that David had been meditating upon the power, providence, and eternal glory of God. He was thinking about God's ever beneficial benefits to our condition. So when the Psalmist considered that it was God who redeemed our souls from hell and destruction, that crowned us with loving kindness, and tender mercies, and satisfies our mouth with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eagles; and that he is slow to anger and plentious in mercy; and that like as a father pitch his children, to the Lord pitties us, realizing that his mercies are from everlasting to everlasting, and that his dominion has no end, but is from sea to sea, and with light as with a garment, and stretches out the heaven like a matten. He could but call upon all mankind to thank God for His unbounded favors and unintended mercies, for having led them so wonderfully along. "The Psalmist seemed to have realized that it was God who laid the beams of his chambers in the waters, made the clouds His charities, walked upon the wings of the wind, made His angels spirits, and His ministers a flaming fire; and that He laid the foundations of the earth, and set the bounds of the sea. It is God that wattereth the hills from His chambers, and causes grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the life of man. It is God that appointeth the men for the seasons and the holidays, and if He takes away our breath we die. If He looks upon the earth, it trembles, or if He touches the hills they smoke. Struck with wonder love and praise, the Psalmist exclaims to all the world, and to generation yet unborn, saying, "O give thanks unto the Lo.d, for He is good, for his mercies and indirect forever." Hence it is befitting that we pause at least once a year to thank God for his goodness. To do this we must briefly consider the goodness of God bestowed upon us during the year. "The goodness of God has been seen in the progress of our country, and we come to America it has been our privilege to enjoy a part. There is not a single favor of God, that has come to our country, but what has not in some one way or another proved a blessing to us all. They have been like the precious ointment upon the board, even Aaron's board, that went down to the skirts of his garments. "If the Romans were allowed to speak today, they would say, We are Romans and we are proud from the Britains today, they would say, We are Britons and we are proud of it." And while our country is changeable with many wrongs heaped upon us as a race, yet we are proud of the fact that we are American citizens.

This season of the year ought to inspire us to count our blessings and see what God hath done. Have we indeed? Lol! Him does not make it possible for us to enjoy it.

"We have had a remarkable season. Crops are plentious; fruits are abundant and we have had a delightful season to harvest our products. Surely it shall be in the heart of every one to say with the Psalmist, 'Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.' "WHY SHOULD WE REJOICI UNDER THE SHADOW O'GOD'S WINGS?" "Because they are broad wings. We have read of birds having more little ones than they could cove with their wings. Young cagles sometimes wait on the mother bird for nourishment, and she cannot satisfy them, but God's wings cover the entire universe, and His resource are infinite. Those wing cover all our weakness, wants, sorrows and disappointments, from the cradle to the grave. "There are periods in every man's life when he feels utterly forsaken—the clouds are so heavy the day so dark and the road rough, that he is tempted to say 'The mercies of God are gone forever.' Elijah doubtless thought himself forgetten when he was in the wilderness with no friendly voice to cheer him. But the wings of God were over them. The wings of God are strong. David said, 'The Lord is strong and might.' "Your enemies may be strong, your sorrows keep, your burdens keep, and your difficulties seemingly insurmountable, but under the wings of God, which are full of power joined with love there is safety. 'We shall cover thee with His feathers, and under his wings shall thou trust.' "Because they are swift wings. Nothing astonishes travel is more than the swiftness of the cagges flight. One moment the sky may be clear and not a wing to be seen, but only let an laget utter one of its piercing cries, and almost in the twinkling of an eye the mother bird darts to its rescue. "The wings of God are swift wings. When poverty has turned the house upside down—when sickness seizes the frant, when the brightness has gone from the eyes, and strength from the bones; when a baffled soul needs light, and when a dying saint needs a senior to sympathize and a God to help, it does not take the Almighty, long to reach those scenes of sufferings.

Dr. Willie happened to be present and said that he wanted an office girl to come in the evenings and receive his patients and clean his office. She testified that Dr. Willie employed her at a salary of $3 a week and while working for him he was intimate with her from time to time. His intimacy on May 20, 1923, the girl testified, resulted in a child. Her testimony corroborated in part by another witness testified she had seen the girl working in the office of Dr. Willie in the Richardson apartments, 1704 Vermont avenue, northwest Dr. Willie denied the charge. He testified that he was in New York from May 15 to May 29, 1925, and produced a telegram properly identified by the code marks of the telegraph company which he said he sent from Brooklyn, N. Y., at 4:37 p.m., May 20, 1925, to a woman in Washington. He declared that the first time he saw the girl was when she came to New York to testify against him in extradition proceedings. The girl, however, had testified that Dr. Willie telephoned her at 3 p.m., May 20, 1925, and sewed her in person on that night. The jury returned a verdict finding him guilty of carral knowledge and he was remanded to jail to await sentence.

THREE YEARS FOR HILL ON ELK CHARGE Court Not Impressed With Impassioned Plea For Mercy Court Not Impressed With Impassioned Plea For Mercy (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Nov. 22—Charles S. Hill, an attorney, who pleaded guilty to an indictment for embezzlement and larceny after the murder of Nathaniel F. Brown morning to serve three years in the penitentiary by Justice A. A. Hechling in criminal Court No. 1 of the District Supreme Court. Plea For Mercy Joseph P. Neal, who, with Chas E. Robinson, represented Hill, made an impassioned appeal to the court for mercy. He asked that the accused be placed on probation. He pointed out that Hill had been a member of the bar of the District of Columbus for 18 years and that if he were sent to the penitentiary, Hill alone would not be the sufferer but that his family and friends would suffer with him. He told the court that Hill, if given another chance, would lead an honest life. Justice Hoehling read a memorandum in passing sentence upon Hill. He reviewed the particular crime, to which Hill had pleaded guilty, and pointed out that Hill on the very next day after receiving a check for $13,000, with which he was entrusted, deposited it to his personal credit and drew one check for $5,000 and another for $3,500 against the account. Justice's Statement Justice Hochling stated that a crime such as this, where a member of the bar has betrayed his oath of office as well as the confidence of his clients, cannot go unpunished. here but was making his home in Brooklyn at the time of his arrest.

Detroit, subject to current Federal excise tax. Company Probation Officer Amos A. Steele, to whom the case was referred for investigation, when Hill catered his plea of guilty, made no recommendation to the court. He simply turned over all the communications received by his office to Justice Heelling, who stated that after careful investigation, the sentence made, "the sentences of the court is that you serve three years in the penitentiary." Pleaded Guilty Hill pleaded guilty to embrizzling $1,522 from Morning Star Lodge No. 40, Improved Revolvent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. March 16, last, he was given a check for $13,000, payable to and endorsed by J. Alexander Upshur, secretary of the board of trustees of that lodge. Hill was to deposit the check with a title company to close a deal for the purchase of property at No. 1502 Q street, northwest. Instead of doing this he deposited it to his personal credit and checked against the account. On May 14, last. Hill sent his personal check to the title company for $13,000. Payment on the Hill check was refused by the bank on account of insufficient funds. Attorney George C. Gertman, representing the owner of the property, wrote the financial secretary of Morning Star Lodge requesting that settlement be made. An explanation of the failure to make settlement was demanded in the lodge. Hill told the lodge that if a committee were appointed to go with him, he would turn over to this committee the $13,000 with which he had been entrusted. A committee consisting of Armond W. Scott, Floyd Payne, J. Alexander Upshir and George B. Clark was appointed. They accompanied Hill to the bank. He turned over to them the sum of $5,555, only, leaving a shortage of $7,522. The warrant was sworn out for his arrest. His case was called for trial November 1. His attorneys withdrew his former piece of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty to the indictment charging embezzlement and larceny after trust. He was remanded to jail to await sentence. Hill is a former Grand Auditor of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and a former Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of the District of Columbia. He was the heir to the League and led in the fight to oust Roscoe C. Bruce as assistant subordinate of public schools of the District of Columbia. He was a trustee of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church and also a director in a bank.

Tidewater Hospital Gives Thanks DR. WILBUR A. DRAKE The hospital is thankful for its many friends and the constant remembrance of those who are unable to care for themselves during their illness and need hospital care. Among those we wish to publicly thank is first of all: The Great Providence who said the poor we have with you always; the Mothers' Club for its most splendid gift of many very useful articles of surgical and other supplies; the License Attendants Association for $50.00; the Swartzki Club for $75, the Jeanneau Baptist Church for several and several white friends for gifts of various kinds, all of which express confidence in our efforts and the appreciation of the same. May God bless and keep these friends and may we at all times try to do our best for those to whom we administer. For as we do it to the least of my brethren we do it unto Him who has always remembered and helped those who need His help. May this Thanksgiving season give all of us the feeling that it is better to give than to receive. We are constantly doing for those who need our care and are willing to do as far as we can with the limited means at our disposal. May the good God keep and bless all those who endeavor to help the needy in their day of need and suffering. Very truly, WILLIER A.

PACE President, Northeastern Life Insurance Company (For The Associated Negro Press) Every man and woman who has any form of property, real estate, cash in bank, stocks, bonds, jewellery, automobiles, or what not, ought to make a will. Some people think they have so little that it is unnecessary to make a will, and they leave their families at the mercy of a Probate Court, and possibly unfriendly creditors, in the disposition of their Estate. No matter what kind of property, nor how little of it you have, you ought to make a properly drawn will. Go to your lawyer and have him draw it up for you. It will cost little in comparison with the benefits it will confer on your beneficiaries. Each state has its own requirements as to witnesses, and rights of inheritance of various members of your family so that a lawyer ought to draw up your will to have it in proper form. A Will is the only means by which a person can direct the disposition of his Estate after he is gone. The Will takes your place and directs to whom, and how much of it, your estate should be paid. Because Wills are improperly drawn they are sometimes broken, but the good Will is one that is so clearly drawn, that "grives, bequeaths and devices," in such unmistakable terms that it needs no interpretation by the court, or the executor. There is no fee for contract which can be left by you that is an irrevocable Will. It is a policy in Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company. No court action is necessary to carry out its terms. No bond is required of the Executor. No tax collector can take out any part of it for the State or the United States. There are no court costs to be incurred and no fees to be paid. The only thing necessary is for the Insurance Company to have all the facts of your death. Payment is made immediately to the person you designated at the time the application was written and the policy issued. Payment is made by most good companies the same day the proofs are received, but always within 9 hours. A life insurance Policy is the only thing a man leaves that is always worth one hundred cents on the dollar the day he dies. Make a Life Insurance Will. Decide how much you want to leave your wife or son or daughter and take life insurance for that amount. It will cost you only 4 per cent annually on whatever amount you decide, and you may never pay but one premium.

No, I am not heralding another Southern renaissance of letters; that has been done too many times of late. Nor do I refer to the uct that, in the words of one capable publicity manager, “realism has crossed the Potomac.” Nor do I write of the present enthusiasm for Negro music, be it spirituals, mellow, work-songs, blues or plain jazz, Nor of the sudden promise of a few Negro writers —poets, novelists and essayists. But I do wish to call attention to the fact that the attitude to- ward the Negro manifested by the native Southern white writer ig definitely changing. What this attitude was in the past one calls up in a moment by the mere mention of the sen- timentalists—Thomas Nelson Page, F. Hopkinson Smith, Irwin Russell and the rest. With them the Negro quarters were always silvered with moonlight, and from these quarters to the wide porches of “the big house” the evening breezes wafted both the seent of jasmine and the strains of banjo music made by happy, shiftless, irresponsible blacks. More and more is one convinced that save for Joel Chandler Har- Race Relations In North Carolina Best In Country (Continued from Page Une) North Carolina is quite so effective as this educational work in estab- lishing relations of mutual under- standing and respect between the races. “There has not been a lynching in the state in years. ‘The present governor and his immediate prece- ‘cessors have been so diligent in the snforcement of the laws and the Judges have been so uniformly fair in their effort: to do justly by the Negro, that a new fesling of con- fidence and trust is developing. “No mean factor in interracial relations in the state is the shap- ing of public opinion through the press, and through the public ut- terarces of such leaders as Dr. William L.

Tn talking to newspaper men, Mr, Hayes, who reached New York iste Monday for a recital engage- nient on Tuesday evening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, de- clared emphatically that he is not engaged, knows nothing of the alleged report, which was pub- lished as a press dispatch from Vienna and that when he is en- gaged there will be neither secrery nor delay in letting all the world know about it, The artist deprecated such re- ports declaring that such publicity was distasteful, besides being ab- solutely without foundation. As a matter of fact, it is stated by friends of Mr. Hayes tha he is believed intending to marry® if at all, a very charming young woman of his own race, either now or here- tofore residing in Boston, whore he spont many years developing his artistic powers.

One suspects, perhaps with justice, that to Joel Chandler Harris should go the credit for this modern effort of the white writer to understand the Negro. Harris followed the tradition ax ins found it, but on it he grew a new flower; on the branch of centimentalism he grafted a gen- vine interest in Negro charaeter as character and a respect for his folklore and legendry. He was at once the folklorist and the realist. a ene In the path Harris blazed as a folklorist others today are walk- ing. The leader of the new writers in this form was Am- wrose E, Gonzales, who has added the Gullah of the Carolina low- lands to American literature. And with him were R. Emmet Kennedy, Dorothy Scarborough, ‘Howard W. Odum, Guy Jobnson and possibly a half dozen other writers from the South. ‘The willingness of Harris to pieture the Negro realistically, on the other hand, has been caught up and carried forward by a different set of writers. In 1919 appeared George Madden Martin’s “Children of the Mist,” the first book manifesting this new sympathy. The work of the Kentucky writer was followed in 1922—before the modern en- thusiasm for all things Negro had devoloped—by Clement Wood's “Nigger” and T. S. Strib- ling’s “Birthright.” ‘These three writers, a Kentuckian, an Ala- bamian and a Tennessean, han- dle the “race problem” without the gauntleted gloves of the Southern cavalier. Rather than knight-crrant pricking o'er the plain of romance, they are pio neers marking out a new front for a division shifting its line. As a result of this folklore of Uncle Remus we have the craze of the day for the spiritual, the work song, the blues, As a re- sult of the beginnings of realistic treatment also made by Uncle Remus, we have, through Wood and Stribling, arrived’ at the movement whose rumblings I proclaimed in my first pata- gtaph—a more or less objective treatment of the Negro on the part of white writers native to the South. In addition to “Children of the Mist,” “Nigger” and “Birth- right” of a few years back, three volumes of recent publication justify my contention: Julia Peterkin’s “Green Thursday,” Du Bose Heyward’s “Porgy” and Paul Grecn’s “Tho Lonesome Road.” Tam aware that, as one swal- low has never yet made a sum- mer, three or four hooks should not, perhaps, be credited with es- tablishing a movement. But so completely is the South chang- ing her front in these volumes, after a negative interest for 70 years, that the few books take on a significanco almost abysmal in its depths. By implication it all means, T think, an admission that an un- derstanding of the Negro point of view and his emotional promptings are essential to a solution of racial difficulties. Wood's “Nigger” is most out- spoken here. The hook is a broad canvas opening with the freeing of the slaves after the proclamation. Judge Lowe calls his two or three hundred blacks before him and tells them the (to him) distasteful facts. They fail to comprohend. Bewildered, <= . YAN TY i genamer (f° 2) aang .

Hopeless, de- spairful, there is nothing for them as long as conditions re- main as they are, and many flat charges are brought against the treatment accorded the black by tho Southern white. tee ‘This same sympathy with the Negro’s position is obvious in Julia Peterkin's “Green ‘Thurs- day” as well, though there is nothing in this group of stories and sketches which could antag- onize the bluest Bourbon of the South—unless it be that a plan- tation woman has actually pro- sumed to write of the black at all! “Green Thursday“ holds no brief for or against a race, but through it all there is a quiet sympathy and an effort to under- stand which marks the book as a part of our movement, Paul Green, on the other hand, is defi- nitely outspoken. Four of Mr. Green’s six plays turn on the race relationships of black and white, the black always sup- pressed the weak before the ruth- Tess Nordic. But as it is some- times dangerous to read the au- thor’s intent into his fiction. I shall quote from Mr. Green's “Author's Noto: In the so-called humaniz- ing of this wide expanse, the Negro—if we view the mat- ter somewhat in panorama —has borne the brunt of the brutal dirty work. For more than 100 years he has built roads there, leveled hills and forest, plowed the fields, sweated and groaned forth the great brag crops of naval stores, of cotton, to- baceo and corn with little or no reward, material or oth- erwise. Living in the vilest of huts, the prey of his own superstition, suspicions and practices, beaten and forlorn before God Almighty him- self, he has struggled help- lessly in the clutch of af- fliction and spain. He has perished by the thousands in the long servitude of his white master. Unceasingly he has matched his strength with the earth that bore him, going forever in the end to rot unnoticed in the land he'd tilled. ‘Through a few winter rains perhaps a falling headboard strovo futilely to tell that he had been, and then the plow passed over him and a hill of corn or cotton flourished from his breast. Such is his story before imagined justice. Someone should page the ghost of F. Hopkinson Smith! It is, these writers tell us, largely the Negro's lack of op- portunity which makes him the undesirable citizen he is. And this lack of opportunity is di- rectly chargeable to Nordic in- / difference and actual enmity. "To Abraham MeCranic— Dreamer and Martyr” runs the dedication of “The Lonesome Road." and two of the plays in the volume show the struggle of Absaham MeCranie to raiso his fellow-blacks to a position of in- telligent rzsponsibility, only to meet his death at the guns of PIERCE AE Ba es ¥ Lin. ak 8 | B sscssrersriehitle fess Pe sia = a ey eta ————— aaacanes ii 4 earer er .

In “Green” Thursday” the white man in- trudes against the Negro back- ground only once—and there by the intervention of a “sign from heaven” coupled with a cunning vse of superstition, Maum Han- nah has her way and the white man is routed. : But more hopeful than the shift of emphasis in the matter of polemics is the fact that these writers are dignifying the Ne- foro by finding him within him- self a fit subject for art. If “Green Thursday” and “Porgy” make no issue of the race ques- tion, thoy pay the Negro never: theless an even higher compli- ment than defending him. They isolate him from all argument- They throw over tho slapstick tradition . They scorn the easy manner caricature and vaud & ville. They clevate him by the honest admission that he is & human being with natural emo- tions and natural feelings. In Paul Green's collection of plays the N:gro emezges with all the isolated grandeur of a Greek tragic hero: Look down, took down dat lonesome road Which me and my partner’s got tog. And in the closing lines of Julia Peterkin’s last sketch, Kill- dee, buffeted by fate, scorns the religious ecstacies through which his fellows sought relief: People are singing to God. Asking for help. How far \ away they seemed. As far as those faint stars in the glowing sky. As far as God. He was alone in the night. Something in his heart an- swered the singers. “Joy can’ las’ always needer. You sing about trouble. . I’m gwine take one joy whilst I kin.” And thus is the Negro’s “shift- less irresponsibility” explained. Js there not something worthy of comment in the fact that white writers native to the South are seeing it—and, more—saying it? } admit no necessity to be op- timistic, but in this effort on the part of the white to understand the Negro there lies hope that for the Negro the road may not always be a lonesome one. 979.

GROUP IS NAMED FOR INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE (Special to Journal and Guide) Little Rock, Ark.-At a meeting of representative white and colored citizens held here yesterday steps were taken to set up a strong state interracial committee and to vitalize the interracial movement throughout the state. To that end an organization committee was created, consisting of ten members and headed by Mrs. Minnie U. Fuller, a well known leader among the white women of Arkansas. On this committee Judge Scipe Jones, of Fisk University, others will represent the colored community. The organization committee was instructed to select with great care a representative state committee and to make a survey of interracial conditions to be laid before the latter at its first meeting, as a suggestive basis for its program. It is expected that the new state committee will be called early in 1927, at which time an executive secretary will be named, a program will be laid out and the work of local organization will begin.

C. —The district meeting of vocational-agricultural teachers of Wake, Durham and surrounding counties was held in Palmer Memorial Institute at Sedella, N. C. November 13. This year the program was conducted under anspices of Mr. S. B. Simons, who has charge of vocational work for Negroes in the State. The meeting was interesting and helpful. The program consisted of a discussion of the projects for the coming year including the necessary steps in procuring projects; a brief discussion of the supervised practice work and the general program which had been worked out by the men at the summer conference at A. A. & T. College. Under the projects which were discussed at length it was brought out that a mere agreement between son and father was not enough but the teacher should have a personal conference with the father about his projects. They would have a conference will perhaps bring son's pig and later son's pig instead of son's pig and father's pork, and the boy is also expected to keep complete records of the project.

C.—A new policy of student self-government has been inaugurated at Bennett College for Women. Calling upon the students to help in the enforcement of rules and the building of ideals for the college, the student body heartily responded to the suggestion of the faculty, and today proposed a constitution which will be used in governing student activities. The purpose as set forth in the preamble of the constitution of the College Student Council is as follows: "We, the students of Bennett College for Women, called upon to form a committee to solve student problems, and of cultivating and encouraging high scholastic and ethical standards among the students and of establishing unity and friendship." Each class has representatives vested with the power to speak for the class. Likewise the class representatives are a channel of communication between the Student Council and the class. There are two representatives K. Johnson, of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Miss Lotte B. Turnley, of Northwestern. The representatives from the various classes are as follows: Eleazar and Lottie Manley, first year; Madeline Jones and Monnie Railford second year; Odesa Smith and Luvenia Miller, third year; Evelyn Gittens, Blanche Taylor and Joyce Caldwell, fourth year; Maggie Simpson, Ruth Artis and Lucile Glenn, freshman class; Maggie Simpson of Winston-Salem, N. C., was elected president of the College Student Council. A. & T. College Grensboro, N. C., Nov. 15—The week of Prayer, fostered annually by the Y. M. and F. W. C. A's in practically all the Colleges and institutions throughout the country, was ardently observed here, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, which secured one of the ablest Race ministers for the series of Sermons in the person of Rev. S. D. McDowell, pastor of the White Rock Baptist Church of Durham, N. C. Beginning with a sermon on Monday, November 15th, tasting rock, wine, bread, Hebrew and the first verse, and using for his subject "Drifting" he described and illustrated his subject from the great stream of life: showed how men drift away from God and Jesus Christ many times unintentionally. Rev. McDowell made a stirring appeal to the youth to moore themselves to Jesus for success, comfort, peace and content ment. The other subjects used by this able speaker in his appeals to the youth to accept Jesus Christ were as follows: "The Five Great Powers of Life," "The Five Great Powers of Life," "The Five Great Powers of Life," "The Five Great Powers of Life," "Whatsoever a man sowth that shall he also Reap," "Up to the Hills," "The Writer in the Sand." The week of Prayer ended with six young men accepting Christ, among this number were a star Football player, and a Missionary's son. Greensboro, N.

And thus the life of the subject of this sketch was long—long in thinking, long in other actions, long in happy and serene feeling. Mrs. Vivian Trigg Caldwell, the youngest daughter of President and Mrs. Frank Trigg of Lynchburg, Virginia and Greensboro, N. C., departed this life Sunday morning, November 7, 1926. She was a product of the public school system of Lynchburg and an honored graduate of the Teacher Training department of Hampton Institute. From the institute, first Hampton she was honored in being called to teach in the practice school of her Alma Mater, an honor as rare as it is noteworthy. As a teacher she was painstaking and tireless, efficient to a fault. Her even temper, her dignified and cultured manner and her spiritual graces at once made her the ideal in any group and in every community. While she taught in the public schools systems of Virginia and North Carolina, her most acceptable and proficient work was done as registrar and bursar at Bennett College, Greensboro, North Carolina and Samuel Huston College, Austin, Texas. The Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church counted her one of the best in their system of schools. In her marriage to the Rev. G. H. Caldwell of his most successful minister of the examination, two eminent families were united—a bond which made all the more significant the career both of he husband and herself. To this happy union were born two children, Phebe Ellen, named for the two grandmothers, and Margaret Etta, two years and two months respectively. That she was of steady, sturdy, stairwair stock is attested to in the fact that in their respective careers her five brothers, and two sisters are successes and leaders. A successful minister of the Washington Conference, two physicians one of Norfolk the other of Lynchburg, one educator of Winston-Salem, one industrial worker of the Pittsburgh Steel Plant and two sisters the happy wives of eminent professional men all give color to the illustrious family which she represented. She was a most devoted wife and mother and in her going as in her living her last thought was of her children. In their grandfather's home under the care of a devoted Christian grandmother the children are safely housed and as she would have desired, her husband's home is selected as the home of her children. Around that consecrated heartstone they shall be taught the love of God, the forces of Christianity at work in education and by education shall be opened to them and from there they shall go forth into the world of obligation and responsibility not shirking, but crowning the life and ideals of their mother in heaven. They shall live her life and continue the work in the world so nobly begun by their mother. ervation of trees and forest, was another interest added to the week's schedule rendered by the Senior College Class in the afternoon of Friday, November 19th, ending with an address by President F. D. Bluford, who accepted the tree planted as a gift from the Class of 1927 to their Alma Mater. The observation continued through out the evening another program under the auspices of the "Agricultural Club" which capstoned the Day. Members of the Faculty who appeared on the programs were: President F. D. Bluford, Subject, "Acceptance." Prof. D. F. Martinez, "Lessons from Nature". Students E. D.

The purpose of this step or undertaking is to encourage the Negro youth to undertake a careful study and investigation of literature and history, both current, mediaeval and ancient, and thenafter such study and investigation to prepare articles for publication and public declamation which prepares this preparatory for a great service to their race, by way of public advocacy of the rights and privileges of all mankind. For putting the aforesaid proposition into execution the Commissioner of Education of the Elks has selected as the topic of discussion for the contests for this year, "The Constitution of the United States" with particular reference to the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The contest is to be held in April and May, 1927. The Commissioner in explaining the selection of his subject at this time says that his object is to negate the minds of students. Negro student in a high school or schools giving similar instruction to a sending and study of the organic law of his or her country, and, in this instance, emphasizing those amendments familiarly known as the war amendments, because they abolish slavery, established universal citizenship and prohibited the denial of suffrage because of race, creed, or color. To encourage in this endeavor the Grand Lodge of Elks has inaugurated the National Oratorical Contest and will hold the final contest in Washington, D. C., sometime in May, 2012. Action tests will be held in April, 1027, in the cities in different sections of the country, it depending upon the number of schools that desire to enter pupils. Of course, for this effort to be a success, the Elks shall have to have the assistance of the principals and teachers of the schools throughout the country.

C., November 11-12 for their annual conference before the opening of their six - month schools on Monday morning, November 15. The eight-month schools were closed on these days to allow all of the teachers an opportunity to attend the conference. Officials Co-operate At this conference there is manifested a genuine spirit of co-operation for the education of colored youth in the rural districts. The doors of the courthouse are opened widely for two meetings each year. County Superintendent A. E. Akers is always present at both sessions with instructive and friendly greetings. Mr. Akers is president of the North Central District of the North Carolina Educational Association and other organizations, yet he finds time to help solve the small problems that come to him from our group. "I believe that an obstruction to progress is inertia, the lack of real power. I do not mean real driving force. I do not believe it is necessary to get behind a boy and make him atten disschool get in front and draw him in. Be a magnet in your community, "declared Mr. Akers in his opening remarks. He told the teachers of the progress that has been made during the twelve years in the work, making that school attended in that time had increased from 33 to 52 per cent, and pointing to great improvement in school buildings and equipment. Miss Mary Hyman, supervisor of the rural white schools, spoke on the subject, "The Teaching of Reading in the First Three Grades"; Miss Hazel Erwin, home demonstration agent for whites, gave an illustrated lecture on "School Lunch."

Brinkley and "The Value of Playground Activities" by Mr. D. D. Davis. The Work of Jeanes Agent As one rides along the public highway in this, Halifax county, and sees the many new grey and white painted buildings besides the relics of the old schools, the convincing fact is evidence of the untiring work on the part of some one. This work which accounts for the success of this conference and much of the continued progress in the revival of the buildings in the deans agency Miss M. M. McIver, supervisor of rural schools. Miss McIver has been in the county for seven years and in co-operation with the county superintendent has succeeded in spotting 55 Rosenwald schools here and there over Halifax.

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sourns, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from the duggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no courness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. Wm. Henry, 453 E. E. 314 St., St. Louis, MO 63105. Won on pollinates one $383.00."

A PROGRESSIVE COLORED FARMER One of the most successful farmers of Standard, Louisiana, is Phillip Barnes. His annual income is approximately $1750; his assets $6491. He owns 45 acres of land valued at $3000, which is improved as follows: residence $1700, three quarters of a mile of fence wiring $179, one quarter of a mile miscellaneous fencing $50, and miscellaneous buildings $250.

Although he bought the place only four years ago—a dense mass of saplings, briars, and vines—today he has a modern farm with seventen acres of cleared land. His orchard, an excellent young one, consists of thirty-five trees—apple, peach, and pear—to which he is expecting to add at least thirty trees this fall. "My success is due largely to our make-it-at-home program," he said, "not to my efforts alone, but also to those of my family. From my potatoes, peanuts, peas, cane, garden truck, poultry, hogs, and cows I obtain the major portion our food, as well as considerable revenue. Aside from these I get some money from wood and other timber products which I manufacture. All present there are upon our store/room shelves one hundred canst of vegetables and ample home-made jellies, jams, and preserves to tide us over the slack season. In this we owe our success to the untiring efforts of our colored home-demonstration agent, Miss Stazia Hutson."

Urges Thanksgiving Prayer And Determination As Means To Put Proscription At End Philadelphia, Pa.—The National Equal Rights League, in its 19th annual session assembled at the birth city of the Declaration of Independence, in the Sesquientian year thereof, addresses the conscience of the nation. It is eminently fitting that we Colored Americans should thus arrest public attention in this Sesquientian year of the birth of our Republic at a season when all Americans are called upon to redeedicate themselves to the principles of the American Magna Charta, wherein it is thus declared "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." For it is hard to contemplate that a people who 150 years ago based their rights upon, and so solemnly enunciated, such fundamental principles of national justice and the rights of man, should further persist in perpetuating so frequent and serious violations of these tenets of their country's basic document, issued to justify the revolution which gave it extinction, as to indicate actualurity elements. These violations are manifested by practices of such purity elements as meet one-tenth of the people, the Colored American, to injustices and prescription which challenges the sincerity of all observances of the Declaration's 150th anniversary, even in this city and state where it was signed. Lynching Not Protection For distranchishment is not 'consent of the governed' or 'liberty', lynching is not protection of life, segregation and denial of civil rights are not equality or pursuit of happiness.' The denials of America's own declared equality upon which she based her protection of life and liberty and consent of the governed and right to independence upon a racial entitlement whose natural title is buttressed by sacrifice, service, and life's blood for a nation for whose very basic declaration they gave the first martyr and soldiers in the war for its success and saving. In every war from the Boston Massacre to Chateau Thieu they have given the last full measure of devotion. In peace America made their full contribution to Independence and America's welfare. How unfair, how discreditable, how intolerable, therefore, for inequality, proscription and lynching to be meted out as a reward for such a record of performance, segregation even by the federal government. How incumbent, how imperative for white Americans and our government to begin a new American epoch of practice and enforcement of the tenets of the Declaration. How justifiable for Colored America to resent with all her soul all those violations. Colored American bases her Sesqui-centennial rights on Thomas Jefferson's statement of the rights of man, violated by denial of civil accommodations, by dischallengement, segregation and lynching for race or color. She appeals to the conscience of the majority of white Americans for discontinuance of them, starting at the Sesqui-centennial time. Colored America declares her high resolve to resist their continuance after 150 years of patient endurance. Call Upon The President White America, thus honor the Declaration. Colored America, band yourself for the new Revolution, not for national independence, but for American equality and American rights. Finally, we call upon the President to prove his loyalty to the Declaration by abolishing segregation of employees at the federal Capital and upon President and Congress to do so by repealing segregated Beach Statute, for the District of Columbia. Crusade Against Proscription We the National Equal Rights League at this our 10th annual meeting, in Sesqui-centennial year and birth city of the Declaration of Independence, feel that the time and occasion are opportune to present to our fellow citizens of color a plan whereby we may effect mastery of the language of emancipation iron chattel slavery, sixty years ago, have been able to forge upon us, their descendants. 1. Following the way our enslaved parents trod, when the master's curse and the overseer's lash sent them to their miserable huts cowed and bleeding, we urge appeal through prayer to the God to whom they appealed unceasingly through the years till deliverance came. We urge individual, group and nation-wide prayer by all members of our race continuously and persistently, but especially on that day, Thanksgiving Day, November 25th, 1926, when this people shall be called upon to give thanks to Almighty God for divine favor and blessing upon this nation, do we urge as the people pray for continued prosperity and blessing we pray for deliverance from the wrongs and injustices which we suffer. 2. We recommend that we emancipate ourselves from the slavery that has bound us to political parties and act as free men in the casting of our ballot and the selection of candidates, to give support, basing our choice upon men and measures rather than parties, for too long have we been tied by tradition' and as serfs controlled and directed in our voting by unscrupulous leaders. In This Way We Serve-- We want you to come to us, exactly as you would to your best friends for assistance in your hour of greatest need. We strive to give the kind of Service that one friend would naturally render to another in time of need.

Therefore, we suggest that the best assurance of ultimate success of our enamination from the conditions which enslave us—segregation, proscription and denial of civil and political rights—is a United race effort against all the forces which contribute to these conditions. To this end, we call upon members of our race everywhere, in politics, in church and social life to unite their political strength and their financial and economical resources to compel redress of the wrongs from which we suffer. 4. Our plan embraces all race organizations and we urge membership and affiliation of the race with some of these organizations. So rapidly and securely are these new chains of slavery being forged about us that unless this race of our best brist itself we will soon be in servitude more galling and degrading than that from which our forefathers suffered.

AGENTS WHENEVER WORK FOR EXELENT Cleared of Charge Made By Veteran's Widow (Preston News Service) Newark, N. J., Nov. 18—A jury in Federal Judge Clark's court Wednesday afternoon appointed John H. Thompson of falsely representing himself as a government agent last March and obtaining $11.50. The principal witnesses were Mrs. Mary Banks and her daughter, Mrs. Belle Gelger. They testified that Thompson had declared himself a representative of the Veteran's Bureau and obtained the money from Mrs. Banks, widow of Civil War Veteran, on the plea that he could assist her to obtain a pension. Thompson, an auto mechanic and World War veteran, was in the Union county jail since September 3, awaiting trial. He declared his arrest was due principally to spite work on the apart of the two women. Honduras passed from Spanish into British hands, and in 1821 proclaimed its independence.

Wee Football * » Critics of modern college football pictare ‘it as an organized and commercialized spec- stacle. ‘They even complain that the cheer- ing-sections are organized and Jack that de- sired amateurish spontancity. Few ‘will deny that college football today is a “big business,” with some teams collecting a3 fnuch as $800,000 in gate receipts in one ‘short season and with corps of high salaried coaches and trainers and large squads of ‘subsidized players, but after all the commer- :Galism found in football is something dif- ferent from that associated with profession- al:baseball. It may be traditions, it may be the players and it may be a difference in those who fill the gridiron stands and those who fill the baseball bleachers, but compared ‘with baseball the sport of football is decided- ly unprofessional and uncommercialized. "+ The football player who excels under its present stage of development ‘must have physical endurance and strength and mental alertness. Both are splendid qualities for the business of making a living out of sporidom. No heter evidence that football is played to the king's taste today could be found than the fact that never was the sport pag popular as now, never wax it better played and never did it so strongly compete with baseball for the coveted title of the Great American Game. Tiseu Automobile Horns ‘The city of New York has begun « cam- paign under a law which makes unlawful ‘the unnecessary blowing “of horns and the use of horns and other sourd-making de- viees that are unnecessarily loud oF harsh,” and thus inaugurates what my he a na- tional crusade. Let us at least hope so. "Tn the early days of automobiles, when ‘the world was in the horse and buggy age ‘a horn was an’ absolute essential. Today, jn most cases, it is used! by drivers in Vow ‘of brakes and thus it ix not only annoying Dut extremely dangerous. Many drivers today dash through a populated district without abating their speed one bit, sound- ing their horns ‘almost continuously so that they may tako the right of way by reason of their insistoneo and their recklessness, 3 The difficulty is that many drivers think “that the sounding of a horn is the mark of ‘8 very careful driver and is to be com- yiohded rather than condemned. Such, however, is not the ense, for the good driver is so curoful himself and has his car so ‘constantly under control, that he has ab- pblutely no need of a warning signal. If ‘he’ is appronching u dangerous intersection the does not sound a Jong blast on his noise- ‘maker, but appronches the crossing-at slow speed and makes certain that it is safe to ‘proceed before he does 50. e--Gar drivers need education in this re- gard. Civilization today is noisy enough ‘without-the incessant and irritating squawk ‘of,-auto horns. Let every driver join ip ithe. movement to abate the nuisance.

Credit in the South has not been serious- ly impaired by depression of cotton prices, say the credit men whose conference keeps ‘a wateh on business conditions, in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and the Distriet ‘of Columbia, but they predict u diminishing of buying power irr all sections of the coun- try because of the Southern farmer's inabil- ity to sell his cotton crop. ‘The resolution embodying their views reads: “ft is the sense of the conference that fundamentally eredit is very sound in the country and particularly in the South, “The lowering price of cotton nat- -—urally will deerease the buying power, but this is shared by the entire country and need not occasion the slightest pessi- mism because of the fundamental condi- tions, and because cotton does not pro- vide so large a share of the income of the Southern states, as in former years, before industry expanded and diversifi- cation of industry and erops began. “The conference has an abiding faith in the vecuperative powers of the South and feels great confidence in the future, It sends this message to all the people of the South, that they may: keep their feet on the ground, and be not disturbed in their progress by the mere reduction of the income from cotton.” ‘This nowepaper has been optimistic enough through all of the flurry aver the cotton situation te suspect that there would be nn dire economic calamity hefailing the South because of its deflated cotton market, ‘This section has reeuperated from worse fates, and all that is necded now to avert a setback to Southern progres: is caution, common sense and a firm hold on self-con- fidence. This experience will further impress the South with the necessity of acquiring more smokestacks; it will learn that it_must as rapidly us possible mix its agi feultural egm- plex with an industrial atmosphere if its progress is to be steady and dependable. And this experionce will stimulate the fight aguinst the single crop system, another hindrance to progress in this section. The Coffee County Lynchers Down in Coffee county, Georgia, tk rees of the law have just demonstrat e ease with which Iynchers can be appr nded and punished when there is a wi do it, Nine men, members of the m¢ at lynched Dave Wright, a white man, ¢ gust 27, ave off to the penitentiary | rve sentences ranging from four years | ¢ imprisonment, the penalties havin | . Down Jin: Coffee county; Georgia, the forces of the law have just demonstrated the ease with which lynchers can be appre- hended and punished when there is a will to do it, Nine men, members of the mob that lynched Dave Wright, a white man, on August 27, are off to the penitentiary to serve sentences ranging from four years to life imprisonment, the penalties having been imposed by Judge Harry Reed of the Superior Court following the defendants’ plea of guilty and squeamish importunities for morey. Commenting favorably on the case under the caption “Dawn of a New Bay,” the At Lanta Constitution says: “Coffee County has ‘not only vindicated itself in the Dave Wright Iynching, but it hns vindicated Georgia. The result... . « » Will have a marked effect throughout the State. It will serve as a wholesome deterrent agninst future de- fiance of law and order and constituted au- thority by organized bands of night-riding murderers. This vindication of justice and decency by Coffee County marks the dawn of a new day in Georgia, and puts the whole State undor obligation to Harry Reed—the fearless judge who has done more in this instance to protect the good name of the State than has been done by any other man in Georgia in many a year.” ‘All eredit to Coffee county that belongs to it as a result of this show of bravery but as much as we are ready to commend every act tending to deter lynching of black or white, ‘we aire not moved to unrestrained commen- dation in this case to a degree equal to that oxpressed by the Aanta Constitution. ‘The bringing of these Iynchers to justice should have a salutary effect upon law enforcement in the State, but we would be more pre- paved to hail the incident as the “Dawn of ‘a Now Pay” had this been one of the ordi- nary, week-a-day Georgia lynchings in whieh the victim was not white, and in which, sentiment of Coffee county had not been en- Lirely against the members of the mob, even hefore they had been apprehended, as was in this case, according to the words of the trial judge. Coffee county has demonstrated that members of mobs can be apprehended and punished in Georgia; it has demonstrated that in all probability members of mobs that Iynch white persons will be eaught and sent to the penitentiary, but it has not yet been demonstrated that members of Georgia mobs that exercise caution enough to pick their vietims outside of the white race will be molested.

Spirit of The Press Wood And The Philippines From the (Norfolk) Ledger-Deepateh Governor-General Leonard Wood has stirred up trouble in the Philippines again, and unless there ix some better explanation of his Jutost tomb than has been forthcoming so far, he has about reached the end of his usefulness as the representative of the United States at Manila. Under the present lav, it apponys, the kovernor-general, the president of the sen- ate, and the speaker of the house constitute an insular council, which has control ovor public utilities, public works and other prop- erties owned by the government fo the is- lands. General Wood has been at logger- heads with the Filipino leaders ‘ever since he was sent to Manila, and he has now added fuel to the flames of’ discard by dissolving the council and arrogating to himself the sole powers of the body ‘The Wood policy has boen more of « mil- itary character than civilian, and there has heen nothing constructive about his actions. One native faction has at times been played against tho other, and the Philippines. ine stead of being developed into an American asset or prepared for self-government are not far from where they stood five years ago. Whether the Philippines should be given independence or continued under American rule cannot be determined by anything Gen- eral Wood has accomplished at Manila. He has so embroiled the country that it is al- most impossible to diseern what is best to be done. The President's personal investi- gator, Carmi Thompson, who visited the is- lands last summer, has not yet reported, but his recommendations made in an atmosphere of unrest and dissatisfaction are praetically discounted in advance. The United States is obligated to give the ‘Philippines. independence when the islands ure prepared for self-government, but that does not mean we should surrender all of our rights. However, the natives are en- titled to a fair chance to show what they onda, Let It Be Spelled Out From ‘The «Norflk) VirwinianePiot North Carolina sets many a rmpley nowadays, some more import thers.

Published by Monk & Liveright, toe th Weer anth Stree, New York City: Price $2450," By" mai $2.60. “Propie Death” is a series of vivid pictures of the West Indies and Centrjl Ameviea, pictures of the hot, devastating summer, when "the sun had robbed the Innd of its juice and squeczed it dry; “when. frogs gasped for air, their white breasts like fowls, soft und palpil atin.” Pictures of the coming of the rair, splashes of rain, the earth murmuring under it. “Gore the dust, Red mud flowed over the land.” Pietaves of the trepic sea. “Sometimes it was so blue would turn with the cannon roar of the sun, red.” Piclures of the ioasing of the warkees at Colon, “The row af Techerous huts, the faces and lands of lenements” from which one looked down onto 2 galvanized rool “that the stn Ivistled,”” Pletures of peasant hosts, of an insect fife that erawls ver squirming bores, of sick- ness and poverty and death. Always pictures of death, For the tith of this volume foreshadows its contents. Each tale ends swith the end of a life, Je may be Beryl. her skinny body lost in her crocus bay frock, eat- ing the dust of the earth ina time of famine, later lying dead, her stomach resembling "w wind filled balloon.” tt may be the little boy Gerald, his Father a Teper, he soon to’ follow hin to Pale ‘Seco; or Ballet killed by a mavine, or Ernest, diving for manos ‘and eaten by a shark, Of one thing you may be assured as you sturt in with a new sketch, stark tragedy will be your por- tion, and death by honorable or dishonorable means your end. Only onee do you have a bewild- ering surprise, once the villian net the virtuous, is taken, To those of us who know the West Indies as a pleasant winter resort, who have rowed out in the harbors and watched the pel- feans dive for food, who have one inland and seen the payean- try of the rivers, who have ad- mired the strong peasant women on their way to market, Erie Walrond’s picture is like a stun- ning blow. One asks oneself, can it be true? Is life so ter riblo in this exquisitely beautiful and seemingly happy land? We saw laughter but Walrond sees Tittle but tears. When happi- ness does come it is of a poor sort, too transient for us to re- member. Tk is gone in a day to be succecded by terror. One wonders whether many people will have the courage to finish a book which by its very title promises us death as 2 constant ‘companion. : Mr, Walrond’s style, while vivid and often beautiful, is at times trying. He has the mod- ern msthod oF makings sentences out of words. Sometimes it is effective, sometimes nol. He does not seem to realize that his miliow is unusttal and that if he wishes us really to see the pie- tures that flood his mind he must take a little more pains in pre- senting them to us. He has so much to tell, such dazzling fig- ures to show, such daring sit- nations to reveal, that he ought to do it in the best way possible.

So far these fraternities have not exsayed any task of dynamic social importance. But there is still hope for the future. Some of the great social reforms have come from young, high souled college men united in the deter- mination to make a better world, Now comes Professor Alban Leroy Locke, with his recent hook —"The New Newro"—His motto js that the race problem is not to be solved wholly by might, nor yet by power, but by the subtle influence of the spirit. "This new gospel ignores political struggle for race equality; stress is not Jaid on economic or industrial ad- vaned, But the chiet reliane: is placed upon the cultural output in forin of music, poetry andl re- fined literature. The old dogmas are discarded, or at least not yreatly stressed. They are held in abeyance, or at least in the background, while the gentler ministry of the arts is empha- sized, with its more subtle po- tentiality. This doctrine is not original with Dr. Locke, Dr, B. W. Bly den, the Liberian scholar, pro- claimed the same doctrine a gen- tration ago. He expressed. the belief that the Negro's contribu- tion to civilization would not be found in the domain of exact knowledge or of solid achieve. ments, but in the finer forms of artistic outyiving. We need not looks for the serent Negva thinker ‘ay engineer er controller of gi- guntic projects, but for the poet. the musician, and the creative and mimic artist. ‘The philosophy may be in har- mony with essential racial psy- chology, Tho old textbooks on Mentul Philosophy used to divide tie mind inte thee compart- husnts—the intellect, the sensi- bilities and the will.

There is hardly one Ne. "gro student out of a hundred in Rarvard University. and yet as often as not we hear of a Ne- sro class oratar or prize speaker. His excellenee, even superiority in oratory is conceded. In mu- sical susceptibility, the race takes high rank, and even the leading place. ‘The Negra sings as the birds sing. Song wells from his throat as the trill from the throat of the bird. When artistically trained and disci- plined his musical ability may lead the world. Dancing is one of the fine arts, The Nexo ‘moves in rhythms by the prompt. ings of his nature. His capacity for artistic en- Joyment is superb. Roland Hayes. ranks among the very best of modern singers, Neer actors are accorded extravayant praise for histronie. ability. at Teast one Negro painter has at- tained unto world celebrity. The Negro excels in the creative as well as in the mimic arts. Since the days of Dunbar, the Negro kas not fallen below the level of the best American contributions to the poetie arts. One could not name three American contempo- raries of Dunbar without inelud- ing the black American Burne among poetic celebrities. Cul- Jen and Langston Hughes are mow contributing as good mate: vial as any other Americans w the gentle art of poetry. The Negro is not only indulging in this form of literary art, but is now essaying to write novels, short stories, and dramatic com- position which is the most dif- ficult of all, These attempts are encouraging and promise great things for the future. The Crisis and Opportunity have of- fored attractive prizes to encour- age this form of hesitant Negro talent and genius. It is easy to predict that the race will rise to superior heights in the aris Yar ahead of like eminence in pure thought or conerete achieve- mont. The New Negro, according to the notion of Mr. Locke, should capitalize the highest and most easily aroused faculty of his na- ture and utilize its outpouring as A means of assuaging the asper- ations of race friction and strife. Those who contro! the sou! will soon exert persuasive influence over the practical life of any peo- ple. ‘The pen is mightier than the sword, But the pen is mightiest when it deleneates the inner workings of the soul and sets them forth in artistic form. Let Tanner paint pictures, and Dunbar write Iyriees, and Roland Hayes sing songe, and Gilpin and Paul Robeson portray the inner soul, and Handy compose jazz, Through this ministry the new Negro will surely show forth to the world the worth of the Negro race but will to great degree assuaye the sper ities of race prejudice.
