Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, "While they will get to get the big dolls" While they will get to small dolls were sent out, the manager decreed that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are being rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars.

KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Manager of Popular New York Playhouse Is From Missouri and Demonstrates Unusual Capacity In Solving Knotty Problems—Brilliant Dramatic Writer and Man of Broad Vision. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York—For a number of years the race has boasted of comedians, singers and dancers of ability, but few colored men have won a reputation for possessing what is known in the theatrical world as "business brains." While we have had many stars on the stage, we have not had many office stars—those with business brains who make salaries possible. Lester A. Walton, for many years managing and dramatic editor of the New York Age, is attracting attention both in white and colored theatrical circles as a "box office star." Mr. Walton's latest and most successful accomplishment as a manager was in taking over the Lafayette theater, in this city, with C. W. Morganstern and making it a paying venture, although other managers, colored and white, failed dismally in their efforts to make the theater pay. Some lost hundreds of dollars, and all of them gave up the Lafayette theater, declaring that it was impossible to make the house a winner. In May, 1914, Mr. Walton and his partner became lessees of the Lafayette theater at a yearly rental of $25,000. As others had failed to make the house a success, the consensus of opinion was that the new managers would be out of the place inside of six weeks, as the majority argued that the theater was badly run down, although but two years old, and the rent was A. B. LESTER A. WALTON. too steep. In the face of all the discouraging talk Lester A. Walton declared that if conducted properly and clean, up to date entertainment was provided the Lafayette theater could be put on a paying basis, and be set to work to accomplish that end. All the help employed at the Lafayette theater by Mr. Walton is colored from the front of the house to the back of the stage, and the theater has come to the financial rescue of many a colored performer out of work and unable to get booking at white theaters. During the three weeks' engagement of J. Leubrie Hill's Durkton Follies at the Lafayette theater in February of this year, under the personal direction of Mr. Walton, nearly $2,000 was paid weekly to performers, house help and extra help, all colored. While Mr. Vialton is doing all in his power to provide salaries for members of the race he is also trying to solve the race problem by showing the absurdity of the claims of radical white people that the two races cannot sit side by side in the same places of public accommodation without friction. At the Lafayette theater hundreds of white people patronize the house and do not object to sitting next to colored people. Then a mixed bill is usually given at the Lafayette theater when vandeville is in vogue, there being an equal number of white and colored acts. The white acts do not hesitate to play at the Lafayette theater and never object to being paid their salary by a colored manager. Lester A. Walton is in his early thirties and is a native of St. Louis, being a product of the public schools of his home city. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin A. Walton, both of whom are living. For six years he was a reporter on the local daily papers of St. Louis, where he made a reputation as a court reporter. He came to New York about eight years ago, and after serving as business manager for the late Ernest Hogan for one season he returned to the newspaper business, becoming dramatic and sporting editor of the New York Age. He was later made managing editor of the Age, filling his various positions with great credit. Mr. Walton took unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Gladys Moore, the charming daughter of Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, and the young couple have been blessed with two fine children. X.C. Covinck Co. THE GREAT BOOKS Their Habits and Customs Vividly Described by Dr. W. H. Sheppard. Their Hands and Their History Described by Dr. W. H. Sheppard. Everyday life in the Belgian Kongo was graphically described by Dr. William H. Sheppard of Louisville, Ky., at a recent Sunday evening chapel service at the Hampton (Va.) institute. Dr. Sheppard, who became some years ago a fellow of the Royal Geographical society on account of his African explorations and studies, told the Hampton workers and students about his early experiences as a missionary. In March, 1800, the son of Judge Lapsley, a young white man of Alabama, and Dr. Sheppard made their way into the Kongo region and after many difficulties reached the Kassai river, known to the natives as the "river of spirits" on account of the number of people annually taken by the crocodiles. Dr. Sheppard said; When Mr. Lapsley was lying in the canoe sick with the fever some natives came forward with spears and were going to face the hostile people and faced the hostile people to save the life of the young southerner, who was afterward known among the natives as the "Pathfinder" because of his ability to carry a spear and to carry the country and into the hearts of the natives. After the death of Mr. Lapsley I continued my mission work by establishing a Sunday school and bringing Christ's message to the children. The African natives who live under the cruel hand of superstition are to be sympathetic with. The twitching of the hand, the snake crossing the trail, the treacherous path, the signs of some jujuforeseen danger. Going on a journey if there was a tree in the path a crowd went around it on the same side, not allowing it to part them. A man in the canoe took his toe, would never go on; he would stop and spit in the place and go back home. If a man is accused of stealing he is forced to put one hand in boiling water and the other in ice, not scalded he is considered innocent. We watched a man who had been accused plunge his arm in up to the elbow-one, two, three times. The skin began to peel off. He was called guilty and was heavily fined. Young girls who had been accused of stealing clothes they put pepper in the girls' eyes and hold it tight with a copper wire and say, "If you are not guilty it will not burn you." I have seen a girl going around for weeks with sick and swollen eyes who in the minds of the natives was passing in Central Africa. The natives are learning that Christian doctors and teachers can help them more than the witch doctors. Christianity is taking possession of the hearts of the natives. These new curios which I show you describe are economic and social life of the natives. In spite of the fact that his life was nearly taken because he dared to reveal the atrocities committed in the Belgian Kongo by the officers of King Leopold, Dr. Sheppard has been most willing to give all that he can afford to help the Belgians in their dire distress. Dr. Sheppard made clear that the murder of people in the Kongo, where rubber is such an important commodity, was not sanctioned by the Belgians. "The African colony known as the Belgian Kongo was the private property of King Leopold. There are many people in Belgium who knew nothing at all about King Leopold's officers cutting off the hands and cars of natives who filled to the quantity of rubber expected of them. "The Master has given me the heart and spirit of Hampton," said Dr. Sheppard in conclusion. "I would not hate any man." SUMNER LITERARY SOCIETY. Hampton Organization Hears Lecture on "The Ministry of Poetry" Hampton, Va.—Dr. Charles Alphonso Smith, Edgar Allan Poe professor of English in the University of Virginia and author of "What Can Literature Do For Me?" recently delivered an interesting lecture in the Hampton institute Y. M. C. A. hall on "The Ministry of Poetry" before the Summer Literary society, an organization of colored men and women living in Hampton and Phocus. Dr. Smith referred to poetry as the finest form of literature. He said he had three special functions—the ministry of revelation or prophecy, the ministry of expression and the ministry of restitution. Poets are more powerful than historians or monuments. The real post anticipates the future, interprets the present and restores the past. The Summer Literary society and its friends feel it has been a real inspiration and treat to have a man of Dr. Smith's standing give to them so freely and willingly from his wonderful stores of knowledge and experience. Dr. Smith while at Hampton institute was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. H. B. Frissell at the Mansion House. Trotter Makes Second Speaking Tour. Trotter Makes Second Speaking Tour. Editor William M. Trotter of the Boston Guardian is addressing great crowds on his second speaking tour. At Zion church, New York, March 1, hundreds were unable to get inside of the edifice.

Dayton, Springfield, Ill., at several places in Missouri, Nebraska and in other western states. Before going to Pittsburgh Mr. Trotter also spoke at Albany and Syracuse, N. Y. Temperance Workers Hold Institute. The first institute of the Women's Christian Temperance union was held under the auspices of the combined Women's Christian Temperance unions and Loyal Temperance legions of Kings county in the Nazarene Congregational church in Brooklyn Wednesday, March 17. Three sessions were held, at which prominent and well informed speakers delivered addresses, Mrs Sylvia A. Harris, state superintendent of the organic tion among colored people assisted. EARLY STRUGGLES OF J. S. WILLIAMS PAID FOR OWN EDUCATION. Thrifty Shreveport Man Who Was Thrown Upon His Own Responsibility When a Mere Boy Worked Diligently in Many Fields, Set Standard High and Won Success. Shreveport, La.—That merit, booked up by industry, honesty and thrift, will win a place for any American citizen is proved in the successful business career of James S. Williams of this city, who has worked from the lowest to the highest standing among the business men in this section. Mr. Williams was born in Franklin, La., shortly after the emancipation of the slaves. While he was not born a slave, yet he was twelve years old before he knew that he was free. Just how he learned this is unknown, yet J. B. JAMES S. WILLIAMS. when he learned that he was free he had in his little heart a desire to know something, and he had decided in his own mind that he was going to learn if he had to spend all of his life working for the opportunity. His first step was not in a schoolroom, but in a workshop. He went to New Orleans when a mere boy and secured a job in a barber shop as porter, determined to learn the barber trade so as to earn more money. He made up his mind to use this money in getting an education. It did not take him long to graduate as a full fledged barber, and when he had sufficient capital he invested it in brains in the New Orleans university. He was an apt student and learned rapidly, his main studies being business and bookkeeping. He looked on the practical side of each study. He did not graduate from any department of the university, but what he learned he learned it so well that he was prepared to apply it to his own advancement. He did not fail to take advantage of every opportunity. Each year he made progress. As a bootblack he took the first place, and the same was true when he was a barber, and when a student he was always at the head of his class. He made up his mind to take first place in everything. Leaving New Orleans, he went to Rayville, La., and became head porter in a hotel. The hotel was destroyed by fire, and then he went into the barber business. He operated a shop and later bought a few horses, went into the livery business and also opened a store. Now he had a combination of livery and merchandising. This started him on his way to the success and prosperous business he now owns. He made some cash money in Rayville at his combination business and after five years of strict attention to his work closed up this business and came to this city about sixteen years ago and went into the undertaking business. Step by step he has gone forward until today he is one of the leading men in his line in America. He has fifteen head of horses, carrings, buggies and automobiles. Everything that goes to make up a first class establishment he has on his premises. Mr. Williams is the highest taxpayer of his rate in this section of the country. He has won all of this through hard work, through push and pluck. He is one of the leading spirits in the Negro Business league, being president of the State Business league and a life member of the National Negro Business league. What Mr. Williams has done others can do, but they must have what he worked with in the start and what he is still using—industry, honesty and thrift. African Chief Aids British Soldiers. Mme. Humo Nyuha, the paramount chief of the Kennema, who is a member of the Nongowa tribe, whose headquarters are at Kennema, in West Africa, has, with her subchiefs, presented the English government, for the use of the soldiers now fighting against Germany, 100 bushels of clean rice and fourteen bullets. Nominating Lieutenant Tuesday, ap. JOHN GELDER THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE. At the April primaries the name of John Gelder, candidate for Commissioner No. 1, will appear on the ballot. John Gelder is the type of man who has for years been fighting for those things which would be and are for the best interests of all the city of Oakland. He has never trained with the type of individuals called "politicians" and he has always been a free lance and at all times was and is fearless and does not fear to speakout his mind upon public questions. You will never find him playing to the gallery of popular sentiment or what appears to be popular sentiment. This is the kind of man needed for the affairs of our city. He is a large taxpayer and has lived in the city for over thirty years. He is a member of many fraternal orders and is liberal minded in matters affecting the people generally. He is past president of the Federated Trades of Alameda County and has received the endorsement of the Central Labor Council of this county. His son is Assemblyman George Gelder, and after the session of the Legislature will come to Oakland and take the stump for his father. M. Frank W. Bilger, candidate for mayor, spoke at nearly 40 meetings this week, marking the greatest activity since he opened his campaign. It is becoming more evident every day that he numbers his friends by the thousands, and one of the features of his campaign has been the demand made upon him for addresses. He has been averaging six meetings every day and has been receiving many endorsements. Bilger clubs are being formed in all sections of the city and the leading men and women in the city are working in his behalf. Mr. Bilger, among other meetings, spoke this week before the Commercial Club and the Chamber of Commerce, the Oakland Civic Center, the home of Mrs. Phillip Hans, the Ver- JOHN GELDER THE RIGHT At the April primaries the na- Commissioner No. 1, will appear o type of man who has for years be- would be and are for the best inti He has never trained with the type and he has always been a free la fearless and does not fear to spea- tions.

This is the result of last Saturday evening's meeting when a number of ladies from Oakland under the special direction of Mrs. Fannie Walls, who was duly authorized, mustered in the new Auxiliary. Promptly at the appointed time the gavel called the house to order and all males were excluded from the hall for a short while, but in due time everybody was admitted and the work was done very intelligently. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the new Auxiliary. The Household of Ruth's Club will be set up on Sunday. The last meet --- nal Heights Improvement Club, the Melrose Social Club, the Afro-American League, the Swedish-American League, the Oakland Moose Club and many others. He is making a splendid impression upon the voters he has been addressing and it is predicted that he will poll an extremely high vote. One of the latest organizations formed for him is the Bilger Boosting Club of the annexed district. Bilger has thousands of friends in this section who are working enthusiastically for him. Mr. Bilger's platform does not contain any impossible promises, but is straightforward, and if carried out would maintain Oakland's growth as a city and at the same time keep the tax rate within bounds. He has trained and deification of principle the chief of which is "Oakland must live within its income," and "A charter limit to the tax rate." He also will insist, if elected, on full publicity being given to all acts of city officials. A World's Social Progress Congress will be held under the auspices of the Committee of One Hundred at the Exposition Memorial Auditorium, San Francisco, Cal., April 1 to 11, 1915. One writer says that he had the time of his life and that the Exposition is a great university of learning. Among the exhibits of interest are the Garden of Palms, the American Red Cross Society, the Chinese and Japanese Art Gallery, Palace of Manufacture and many others. MRS. J. M.

Reed's last contribution on behalf of the race is his little booklet entitled "Segregation and Jim-rowism a Ghost." Truly it is a piece of literature which should be read by every member of the race. It treats both scientifically and practically the much despised question of segregation. The book contains facts from beginning to end. The book is a credit to the race as well as to the author. As pastor of the Second Baptist church, Mr. Reed has proved himself to be a skillful manager. The church has increased by leaps and bounds, so that it attracted the attention of the number of white people who attended, and when they celebrate Washington-Lincoln anniversary on February 22 Mr. Reed was invited to deliver the principal address on the life of Lincoln, which he did with credit to the race and to the delighted satisfaction of the white people, under whose auspices the celebration was observed. Mr. Reed was the only colored speaker out of the three who spoke on that occasion, and he easily carried away the honors. ing was held in the home of Mrs. J. Moshy.
