No 20 Former Educator Wins Success In the Ministry. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Interesting Account of Services Rendered by a Native Tennessean Who Has Risen to Prominence by Persistent Effort—State Vice President of National Baptist Convention. St. Louis, Mo.—There are many able men in the Baptist church who have contributed to the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the race and who are still doing good work. Among those who are leading in this section of the country for the denomination may be counted the Rev. Dr. S. A. Mosely, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church in this city. He is an active worker also in the National Baptist convention. The Rev. Mr. Mosely was born in Franklin, Tenn., but while yet in his early youth his parents moved to Nashville, where the young boy got the benefit of a common school training. Finishing the grades, just then his parents moved to Helena, Ark., where his father purchased a farm. He desired to have his son finish school, so he sent him to Southland college, which is about nine miles from Helena. After five years of diligent study young Moseley graduated from what was then known as the "high normal" course. He felt that he should pursue a still higher course, and in the fall of 1881 he entered Roger Williams university. He took his place among the best students and himself became the leader of his class. After three years of good, solid work he graduated with honors and entered the educational field. During all of this time he had been active in the ministry and had made a splendid reputation as a preacher. Mr. Mosely felt that he owed something to the young people, the boys and girls then struggling for an education, so he returned to Arkansas and took up the work of teaching. He was called to the Baptist church at Newport, Ark., and at the same time was elected principal of the high school in the same town. He held this position for ten years and resigned to accept a position at the head of the school in Scary, where he taught four years. As the work of the ministry became more exacting upon his time Dr. Moseley resigned school work in 1898 and went to Pine Bluff to take charge of the St. Paul Baptist church, where he remained sixteen years, rendering great service to the people of the community and the church, to which he added many new members. Dr. Moseley did not confine his work to Pine Bluff alone, but readily served his people anywhere in the state when needed. He was side by side with the promoters of the educational work in the state and assisted in organizing the Arkansas Baptist college, contributing largely to its support. Recognizing his worth to the work, he was made secretary of the educational board and a trustee of the college, which positions he held up to 1914, when he resigned to begin work in St. Louis. He has entered heartily into the work in Missouri, and his leadership is widely felt. In the national Baptist convention he is a strong factor. For twenty years he was the vice president of the convention from Arkansas. He has presided during some of the important sessions of the convention. Especially did he play an important part during the recent session in Chicago. During the most heated discussion Dr. Mosely was in the chair and displayed great executive ability, as well as showing himself to be a parliamentarian of Speaker Reed's order. He was time and time again commended for his sensible ruling. Perhaps there is no man in the Baptist rank who is working harder to adjust matters than he. He has the confidence of the people. Several calls have been extended to him recently by churches of the denomination. Baptists Issue Appeal For Fair Play. Headed by the Rev. W. B. Reed, D. D., minister of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, Newport, R. I., the committee on state of country appointed by the New England Baptist missionary convention at its session held in New York in June has had its report printed, and copies of it are being sent to every member of congress, governors of states and the authorities in the various large municipalities throughout the country. The document voices the sentiment of this great body of Baptists and tells of the efforts which it is making for human justice and the political redemption of the race. The report is ready for distribution among the churches of the convention, and Dr. Reed will be glad to send copies on application from his office at 79 Thames street, Newport, R. I. Historical Pageant at Washington. "The Star of Ethiopia," a historical pageant, written by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols of New York city, was presented to large audiences at Washington for several nights during the month of October. The play was a complete success. NEW HOTEL PANAMA. Withor Without Board NEW BOOK BY DR. DU BOIS. Home Library Issues Valuable Work by Noted Scholar and Publicist. The little volume entitled "The Negro," written by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis, and issued by the Home University Library of Modern Knowledge, is the most scholarly and accurate book on the Negro race in early times in Africa that has yet been written. The author treats his subject in logical order from the beginning of the race in Africa, through the years of its meanderingings as tribal inhabitants crude and unlettered, through the slave trade to big culture and refinement. Dr. Du Bols is very sure of the fact that there are no definite lines of separation for the various races. The backwardness of the black race in Africa the author attributes to the fact that the interior of Africa did not furnish sufficient protection from invasion, as is true of those in the Nile valley or in Europe. As to Negro culture in Africa, the book shows that at the time when Columbus was discovering America a full blooded black, Mohammed Askil, was ruling over an empire as large as all Europe. On his pilgrimage to Mecca he was accompanied by "a brilliant group of scholars and holy men, with a small escort of 1,500 soldiers and $9,000,000 in gold. He stopped and consulted with scholars and politicians and studied matters of taxation, weights and measures, trade, religious tolerance and manners. The University of Sankore became a center of learning in correspondence with Egypt and north Africa and had a swarm of black Sudanese students. Law, literature, grammar, geography and surgery were studied." The chapter on "African Culture" tells of the achievements of African Negroes as workers in iron, bronze, copper, wood and pottery, recalling that "Schweinfurth, Von Luschan, Bozz and others incline to the belief that the Negroes invented the smelting of iron and passed it on to the Egyptians and to modern Europe." All this was swept away by the slave trade, says Dr. Du Bois, who estimates that every slave imported to America cost "five corpses in Africa or on the high seas" and that the American and Arabian raids together meant the death, expatriation or forcible migration of at least 100,000,000 natives. "And yet people ask today the cause of the stagnation of culture in that land since 1600." Dr. Du Bois pays a glowing tribute to the Negro race in America in the last two chapters of his book. He believes that the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution is our bulwark of protection and lauds the many spirit and courageous action of our people during the reconstruction period following the close of the civil war. The book should be in every home for the instruction and inspiration which it is sure to give to the youth of the race. BUTLER GETS SCHOLARSHIP. New York Musical Settlement School Fenimore Finley Yankees Led. Encourages Thrifty Yonkers Lad. Yonkers, N. Y.-Master Willie H. Butter of this city, the clever boy violinist, has been given a scholarship in the Musical Settlement school in New York city and will train under the celebrated David Mannes, who thus acknowledges his gratitude to the Negro race, he having been taught the violin by the famous Negro violinist of New York, Douglass, many years ago. It is a rare opportunity for young Butler who comes from a musical fam. 1980 WILLIE H. BUTLER fly, every member of which performs on one or more instruments. The youngster is a musical genius and even now performs on the violin with a skill and technique which some older performers might well envy. Young Butler's father, who is an instructor in the Musical School settlement, will have general supervision of his studies, while Professor Mannes will give him the benefit of his wide knowledge of the king of instruments and the instrument of kings. Master Bill will probably need a little strap oil also before he reaches the virtuoso stage in his promising career, and his "dad" has provided one for use when moral suasion fails. "I predict a brilliant future for my young friend Bill," says Bruce "Grit." "and congratulate him on his good luck." Thomas J. Pillow's Work Appreciated. Thomas J. Pillow is regularly employed as demonstrator for the Western Motor Car company of Los Angeles, Cal. His picture was shown in the last issue of Motor, showing him with a group of representatives sent out by the California Automobile club to mark the western end of the transcontinental highway.

In an article on the above subject the Portland Advocate maintains that Negro women are the power and brain of the new generation, but on reading further we find that our learned contemporary speaks of the women of our mothers' day, the old women that washed and ironed since the early days after the war to send her children to school, the old grandma that helped build the church and is still adding to its suport. The dear hearts were very good and serviceable in their time, but their day is fast going and we are confronted with new conditions. The young Negro men of today have little if any help from their wives and mothers to engage in business. The young Negro is much concerned over the rise and fall of stocks. Our girls are not now prepared to go into business. They do not understand the conditions of the game. The "Birth of a Nation" has been on exhibition here, and so far as its effect is concerned, it seems to have fallen flat. Northern white people accept this play at its face value, but down here it is looked upon as a joke, for the people, both white and colored, know how to accept the play below its face value. A white woman who would permit a colored man to put his arms around her as is shown in the picture, without killing herself, would not be regarded as "worth her salt" in this part of the Master's vineyard—The Richmond Planet. Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business League, urges the officers and members of State and local Negro Business Leagues to take active steps at once to arrange "get-together" meetings with the farmers, which is another step towards the uplift of the race.

CAPABLE LEADERS NEEDED. Former Vice President of Little West African Republic Emphasizes Importance of Education as Means of National Protection — Sees General Awakening Among the Masses. * BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GCRIT." The newly elected president of Liberia college, a former vice president of the little republic, Hon. J. J. Dossen, in an address on the occasion of the jubilee celebration of Liberia college and also on his induction into office, delivered two significant and meaningful addresses which should interest colored Americans. At the jubilee celebration he, among other things, said: "The name of Booker T. Washington, who is at the head of one of the greatest industrial movements in the world, will live as long as history is preserved. His conception of the education best suited to the condition of the American Negro and best calculated to release him from the various forms of dependency in which he found himself after his so called emancipation was pro- A.

The aim of education in Liberia should be, as in the past, to qualify men for this as much as any other service in national and private life. The future of this republic would be seriously jeopardized and its progress impLIED if for any cause we should neglect the higher intellectual training of our citizens. The state requires the service and support of men of literary attainments and professions as well as it does its industrial element. She must have skilled physicians and medical experts to preserve the public health through the application of hygienic and sanitary rules and regulations and to combat the 'tits to which flesh is heir.' At the inauguration exercises, which were attended by the president, members of his cabinet and many prominent and distinguished citizens, the Hon. Mr. Dossen said: "We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of education as a means to national improvement and progress. It is the vital force that will uplift society, elevate the nation and quality the people for the responsibilities and duties of citizenship. All history proves that illiteracy is a potent drawback to any people. The nations that lead the world today in power and achievements are those that have laid stress upon the value of education andave diligently promoted knowledge among all classes of their citizens. "The great source of power and efficiency in the leading countries of the world lies primarily in their colleges and universities. Remove these and their influences from among them and the result would be national decadence. From this source emanate the leaders of thought and action, the men who do the great deeds and perform the noble achievements which are the pride and boast of those countries. We in Liberia have a great task before us—the task of rearing and maintaining on African soil a republican society, the most complex of all civil institutions. In no other form of government is the need for an intelligent public more urgent than in this form. "Not only must the masses be educated, but their education must be so liberal as to enable them to exercise those high privileges, prerogatives and rights of free citizens. It is a hopeful sign that throughout the republic there is a general awakening of the masses and a growing tendency toward intellectual improvement. Not only does this apply to our civilized communities, but in native centers as well there seems to be a deeper thirst for knowledge." These sentiments from the lips of an which other slides seemed imminent. Of the twelve or more men who gathered all were afraid to go to the aid of Anderson. Dune was summoned and, fastening a rope to himself, was lowered into the well. He dug the sand from about Anderson until he was free to the waist when another slide occurred, which covered Anderson to a depth of ten inches. Duncan escaped being buried by jumping up and grasping a rope dangling over his head, the sand coming only to his knees. Duncan was frightened, but after two hours' work dug Anderson free, and he was hoisted out. Duncan was then drawn up. After the two had react'd the surface Anderson to test the wall gave the curb at the top a poke with a stick, and the curb and a large mass of sand NOTICE If you want to look well and live long, come to the Live & Let Live Barber Shop, and there you will find Barber D.

GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED. List of Speakers For Third Annual Meeting of Vigorous Virginia Society Includes Prominent Educators and State Official—Leaders In Both Races Recognize Value of Co-operation. Petersburg, Va.—The Negro Organization society of Virginia now works through at least 268 existing organizations, which may be classified as follows: 107 religious bodies, 112 school improvement leagues and teachers' associations, 42 fraternal orders, 5 farmers' conferences, 1 emancipation association and 1 bank. It influences, more or less directly, at least 50 percent of the colored people in Virginia—that is, nearly 320,000. The third annual meeting of the society is being held in this city this week from Wednesday, Nov. 3 to Fri- JOHN M. GANDY. day evening, inclusive. Among the speakers are Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute and president of the organization society since its founding; Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Rev. Dr. L. L. Downing of Roanoke, Archedeon J. S. Russell, principal of St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va.; Dr. S. G. Atkins, Winston-Salem, N. C.; W. T. D. Williams, field agent of the Jeanes and Slater boards; T. C. Erwin of Petersburg, field agent of the Negro Organization society; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond; John B. Pierce of Hampton, who is in charge of farm demonstration work in Virginia; Rev. A. A. Graham of Phoebus, Va., who is chairman of the society's executive committee; Thomas C. Walker of Gloucester Court House, Mrs. Harris Barrett of Hampton and President John M. Gandy of the Petersburg Normal school here, who is also the society's executive secretary. A number of prominent state and city officials are on the program for addresses, including Mayor Robert Cabanis of Petersburg, Hon. R. C. Stearnes, Richmond, state superintendent of public instruction; Professor J. H. Binford, Virginia department of education and formerly executive secretary of the Virginia Co-operative Education association; Miss Agnes D. Randolph, executive secretary of the Virginia Anti-tuberculosis association; Dr. Ennion G. Williams, Richmond, state commissioner of health; Dr. J. T. Mastin, Richmond, secretary of state board of charities and correction; T. O. Sandy, Burkville, in charge of demonstration work among white people, and G. W. Kohner, Richmond, state commissioner of agriculture. Governor Henry C. Stuart and former Governor William H. Mann are also expected to attend the meeting and deliver inspiring addresses. T. C. Erwin of the State Normal school, Petersburg, is in charge of the details of the meeting. He has secured reduced rates on all railroads running into Petersburg and has instructed the delegates to secure certificates when buying their tickets for return trip home. Two results, as President Moton points out, have already been secured—the cooperation of colored people regardless of denominational or fraternal affiliations, also the sympathetic and hearty co-operation of the best white people with the best colored leaders. The society began its actual work Aug. 1, 1912, with a vigorous campaign for school improvement and for disease prevention. This campaign has brought good results. Many new school buildings with proper sanitary appointments have been erected, and a sentiment for better school conditions has been created. During the past school year fourteen new school improvement leagues were organized by the field agent, nine that were languishing were revived. The three annual cleanup movements have induced a total of more than 300,000 of our people to make their homes and surrounding premises sanitary. As an aid in this movement the state health department published our "Health Hand-Book For Colored People," and during the three campaigns 90,000 copies were distributed. Educational and health campaigns have been made through many portions of the state by the society's agents. A. J. PROVOST CO.

THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH, SAN FRANCISCO. Three very successful services were held at the Third Church last Sunday and the attendance was unusually good both afternoon and evening. Hawkins and his excellent choir did credit to themselves in every sense of the word. Over three hundred persons were present to hear the special sermon delivered to the Women's Clubs Sunday night. Mrs. Charles Tinsley and Miss Emma Scott deserve credit for the way which they secured the co-operation of the sister clubs. After the sermon, Mrs. Tinsley presented a course to Rev. Newman as an expression of the clubs' appreciation for his invitation. The Third Church Sunday School is the largest among the colored churches in San Francisco and the young pianist, Miss Loyce Miller, is filling the position splendidly. Perhaps the secret of success in any Sunday school is having an earnest and cheerful superintendent. Fortunately the Third Church has just such a per- Mr. J. M.

Church are very much encouraged with the splendid services being conducted by their pastor, Rev. J. M. Brown. There is no reason why these services should not be well attended. The sermons are so instructive and timely that as well thinking people and Christians let us awaken to the sense of our duty and prove ourselves worthy of the blessing we receive. Rev. J. M.

McDonald, who now has charge of the choir and hopes to give the public a most excellent Thanksgiving program. There will be special music and solos every Sunday.

Walters Institute to Lay Cornerstone Church of Grace, Sant. 26 at Chapel Opening, Sept. 26 Warren, Ark. - Walters institute, located at Warren, Ark. will begin its eighth annual session with the laying of the cornerstone and the opening of its new chapel. The exercises begin Sept. 26 with a sermon delivered by Bishop Alexander Walters of New York city, for whom the school is named, and continue through Wednesday, the 29th. The Rev. Thomas W. Wallace, editor of the Western Star of Zion, East St. Louis, Ill., and the Rev. John C. Temple. The new chapel is a modern brick building, affording space in its concrete basement for dining room, kitchen and pantries. The building will be named Blackwell chapel in honor of the splendid service which Bishop G. L. Blackwell has rendered the school and the southwest during the seven years he has presided over that diocese. The bishop also will be present for the event. The main building of Walters institute, a thirty room frame structure, with all of its equipment, was destroyed by fire April 24, 1914. There was only $3,000 insurance, $1,000 of which was used to cancel the mortgaged indebtedness on the building that was burned. Notwithstanding this, Professor James W. Eichelberger, principal of the school, has, with the board of trustees, so managed and worked that money has been raised and two new buildings—a large frame building and the Blackwell chapel, which is to be opened in October—have been erected at a cost of more than $6,000. The frame building has been furnished, current expenses met with a comparatively small deficit and the work is more promising than ever before. The institution enjoys the distinction of having eight very prominent white men on its advisory board, of which board the mayor of Warren is chairman. These gentlemen have stood loudly by the principal in his efforts to rebuild. The school represents in a very large degree, what the race is doing for itself in the south. The principal addressed four conferences presided over by Bishop Blackwell in June, where he received more than $000 for the work. The Woman's Volunteer movement, an organization which began immediately after the fire destroyed the first building, has been helpful in securing money with which to carry on the work. Now re-enforced by a number of prominent women in several states, the organization is making the effort to show the chapel and dining room with necessary equipment and furnishings by Sept. 25. The trustees are also planning to make a special effort on Sept. 26 to raise a large sum with which to meet pressing obligations and to carry the work on throughout the session. The attempt is being made by the management to show how me-er are the school facilities for the Nc_ro youth in this section. There are fewer colleges and good high schools in Arkansas than in any of the so'vern states. Meets second and fourth Tuesdays on each month at Foresters' Hall, Clay street.

It is sad, that there is more sorrow in in this world than joy. We realize the truth of the assertion in the fact that the majority of people roam about with no intention of securing relief. As a result of their intense suffering everything appears to them to be gloomy and melancholy. Life is too short to carry ourselves under this loathing burden. We can assist you to enjoy the best part of this short period on earth by means of Herbs. We ask you frankly why do you meekly give your precious body up for experiment when you know that there is a positive cure within our grasp in the famous Chinese Herbs? The success of the Chinese Herbs as a positive cure for every conceivable aliment known to the civilized world can be easily seen from our long lists of satisfied and happy patrons who value our prescriptions more than of the medical profession. Chinese Herbs have a history of 5000 years and been used exclusively by the Chinese for the same length of time. We admonish you not to be discouraged when the majority of the medical profession pronounce your infirmities incurable. We at least give us a chance to demonstrate the effectiveness of Chinese Herbs as a remedy for all disease and to convince you of our optimistic motto that "where there is life there is hope." PROVE OUR ABILITY FOR MARVELOUS CURES. WRITE TO SOME OF OUR CURED PATIENTS. HERE ARE SOME NAMES; HUNDREDS MORE AT OFFICE: Dr Sing Herb Specialist rent expenses, etc., this year is larger than it was a year ago, we should not overlook the fact that it has cost more than $100,000 this year and did last year. I would especially call the attention of the trustees to the generous action of the general education board in increasing its appropriation this year from $10,000 to $20,000. "Notwithstanding the depressed financial condition of a large part of the country I feel it would be a great mistake for us in any degree to slacken our efforts to keep the school before the public or to get funds. I believe, as Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton institute, has often expressed it, that a large part of the mission of both Hampton and Tuskegee is to keep the cause of Negro education before the country and that the benefits coming from such efforts of publicity do not confine themselves alone to Hampton and Tuskegee, but benefit all the schools in the south. With this end in view I very much hope that the trustees may see their way clear to encourage and help us as far as possible in holding a number of large public meetings during the coming year. "During the past year this part of the south, especially the cotton growing section, has been passing through one of the most trying and difficult experiences it has been called upon to pass through since the civil war. This condition has in the main been occasioned by the low price of cotton caused by the European war. Conditions have been serious among both white and black people. Because of these conditions this institution has been going out of its way to do an unusual amount of work and spending an unusual amount of money in trying to teach the people how to overcome these conditions by planting something to eat. The gratitude of the white and black people for our efforts in this regard has been most emphatic. "I have devoted considerable time during the year, both in Macon county and in other counties in the state of Alabama, and in various portions of the south, in urging the Negro people to diversify their crops and get away from present hard conditions always to be expected when a whole race or a section is more or less dependent upon one crop. "The United States congress recently passed a bill known as the Smith-Lever bill, by which a certain amount of money was given to each state in proportion to rural population, for the purpose of training the people in better farming and better living. We have entered into arrangement with the Alabama Polytechnic institute for white people, at Auburn, Ala., by which we are to become responsible for the expenditure of a portion of this money in helping the colored people in the rural districts of Alabama. "We have been during the year engaged under this plan for a number of months in conducting what are called 'movable schools.' I have every reason for knowing that these movable schools accomplish great good. County superintendents of education as well as officers of various counties have written in the most cordial terms with reference to the good results secured in their several counties. The newspapers have also devoted considerable space to them." The Hon. Seth Low of New York, chairman of the board of trustees, in a statement referring to Dr. Washington's report says: "The principal reveals Tuskegee Institute in its twofold aspect of a school and an influence. Both as a school and as an influence it deserves the strong support of the people of the whole country. Students from every part of the Union, and even from foreign countries seek the privileges offered by the school, and the influence of Tuskegee is national and even worldwide. The following report shows how this influence is brought to bear throughout the south and in the north, and it is a matter of record that students from Tuskegee have been sent to different parts of Africa to help develop there industries which they have learned at Tuskegee. An institution such as this makes an appeal to every American. "Every one who values the herculean work of the principal of Tuskegee in developing this school and in making it a center of light and leading, whose influence is felt throughout our land and around the world, deem it a privilege to help to cover the large gap which still exists between the necessary outlays of the year and the assured income. This gap at the present time is approximately $150,000 per annum. The influence and the labors of Dr. Washington have proved adequate year by year to bridge this wide gulf, but every year it becomes more and more important to relieve the principal of some measure of this burden. I hope that many who read this report will be moved to do something to this end." George Margetson's "Ethiopia's Flight." George Reginald Margetson, the poet, in his powerful poem, "Ethiopia's Flight." thus admonishes the workers of injustice and injustice: Now let tyrannic times with thee be o'er, Reform thy knaves, dissolve their bane ful power.

Principal of Largest Southern Industrial School Makes Clear Statement of Conditions and Needs In Printed Booklet—Seth Low Pleased With School Growth and Influence. The annual report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, for the fiscal year has been issued in pamphlet form and is being distributed. The front cover of the report has a large picture showing a number of students in the institute orchard gathering peaches. Every important feature of the school, its success and needs are given consideration in the report, and there are many references made concerning the liberal aid given the institute in various ways by its many friends. Dr. Washington in part says: "Since my last report we have experienced the most disastrous fire in the history of the school. The burning of a portion of our horse barn caused a money loss of $11,432.92, including damage to building, harness and the loss of twenty-eight animals. We have received from insurance on the building and animals $6,312.52, leaving the net loss $5,120.40. These buildings have not yet been replaced by new ones. "I now briefly refer to our financial condition, complete details of which are shown in our treasurer's report. The trustees allowed a budget for the year for current expenses and improvements amounting to $288,303.51. I regret to state that we have overspent the budget for current expenses, but am glad to say that we have an- BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. derspent the budget for improvements, so that the net overexpenditure in these two accounts amounts to $7,452.22. "This overexpenditure came about not through carelessness, but owing largely to the fact that a large proportion of our industrial and extension operations are of such a nature as to prevent our making a definite estimate of their cost. This is especially true of our farming operations. As of May 31 we have received 1 from all sources for current expenses $28,825.17, for buildings and improvements $28,919.47, for undertown $28,102.69, from un- designated leases $28,838.10, making the total receipts for the purposes required for the year $379,704.88. "If we clean off the indebtedness on the healthy plant the school will be free from debt except for about $7,000, all of which is due the investment committee and little or nothing to outsiders. In view of this condition I strongly recommend that our efforts for the country year be mainly in two dire cases, namely, the securing of money for current expenses and getting the amount due the investment committee. "The going to the endowment fund for the year amounting to $28,102.60 make the fund stand at $1,970.244.17 "The budget recommended for your consideration for the new year calls for an expenditure for current expenses, repairs, renewals and equipment of $291,567.92. Toward this we have the interest from our endowment and from other assured sources (including the $50,000 five year guarantee fund which expires next year amounting to $180,500, leaving $105,067.92 to be secured from other sources. It is not possible to describe in words what a relief and help this $50,000 guarantee fund has proved during the four years it has been in existence. "In this connection, also, I would call attention to the fact that next year will be the end of the period of five years for which a number of our trustees and friends made a definite promise to give a certain sum of money each year on the five year guarantee plan. We shall have to begin now to consider some method of replacing these donations. The relief which has come to us because of this guarantee fund has been most marked and for reaching. This means that our present endowment ought to be greatly increased or a larger income assure from some source. The trustees will note that, while the amount of money secured for me, Officers of Household of Ruth No. 458: M. M. S. G. Mrs Lizzie Smith M. N. G. Mrs Lena Osborne. R. N. G. Mrs Elizabeth Brown. N.

Tork physician, is a close and accu: rate student of history and of world polities, but he is so extremely modest aud retiring that it is difficult to get ‘aim to talk for publication. He does not like notoriety nor the limelight. Since the circumstance 1 am about to relate has become a part of the contemporaneous history now tu, the making, I-think 1 violate no confidence in repeating part of a conversation in which } was a silent participant to show the clearness of the doctor's vi- sion aud the accuracy of his judgment.

The young physician Insisted that the al ies wont surely overpower the Turks, Zapture the Dardanelles and thus open a yuthway. t Constantinople, He “ovldu't sce how it could be otherwise. “or it is so written in the book of fate. 9.

O—The glowing fe ports of the grand lodge officers of the recent district grand lodge No. 7 of North Carolina, @. U. 0. of O. F., held in Ruleigh, and the contest between Raleigh and Durham to secure the magnificent *70,000 temple the grand lodge is gomy to erect are among the concrete evideuces of progress among our people in the O14 North State. ‘The most conspicuous evidence of the Negro’) ability to manage large constrnetiva movements by starting with limited finance was exbibited in the report of District Endowment Sec- retary P, A. Richardson of this town. Being splandidly endowed with the qualities sential to lead his people in such movements, and being one of the most progressive and energetic lay- men in the A. M. H, church, and hav- ing become a leading business factor in his community, the grand lodge, rep- resenting a membership of 16,000, has paid Mr, Richardson @ fitting tribute at each annual session for placing his department on a substantial basis. Mr. Richardson, by judicious man- agement, keeping his Gnger tips on ev- ery detail of his business and strictly ‘honest methods, has become a “native \ 4 la @ ideal” for our people in this section He bas shown how the Negro can be- ‘come @ factor in the south, especially in North Carolina, and by his example many of our people are succeeding in the rural districts, ‘The endowment department of the Odd Fellows in this Jurisdiction up to the year 1908, at which time Mr Rlcb- ardson was elected to redeem tt from its deplorable plight, apparently had failed to meet the purposes for which it was launched, and {t required a man peculiarly fitted for the task of reba- bilitating this department. Mr. Rich- ardson started out with a cash balance of $34.93 and with an ‘ndebtedness in this department of over $10,000 of un- paid claims and borr--ved moneys and also with a policy tm force for $100 which required two years to mature. During the ministration of Mr. Richardson the above abilities have been paid, curn.t expenses kept up. over $1,000 put in office fixtures. etc., and carrying a policy of $200. ‘Through his keen busir'ss perception and sagacity he has saved the fraternity ‘over $00,000.

But the people, says the manager, were co determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, “We will wait to get the big dolls.” While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging zn sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches The orders are be'ng rapidly sent out Many of the charches have sent - orders that they might conduct their bazaars.
