Birmingham, Ala.—The large number of well qualified men and women of our race in the south who have made and are making their mark in the various professions, religious work and in business has often been the subject of comment in other sections of the country. Not only have these persons risen to prominence in their own local sphere, but their influence in many instances is national. Be it said also to their credit that they come from some of the best institutions of learning in both the south and the north. The fact that so many of them have settled in the south to work out their destiny among our people, where in many instances they may the better serve the race, is a high compliment to their education and desire for racial advancement. The same may be said of hundreds of the same class in the north, but not to such high degree when the matter of remuneration for service is taken into consideration. In both the south and the north the field for religious and educational development is rich in opportunities. In this city the race has in the person of young Dr. Henry Clay Bryant one of the best prepared and most energetic physicians to be found among HENRY CLAY BRYANT, M. D. any people anywhere. He bears, with possibly four other professional men of the race in medicine, the unique distinction of holding a membership in the ar-tonal surgical congress and was present at the recent meeting of that body, which was held in Boston. Dr. Bryant is well and favorably known to the medical profession among the leaders in both races. Although comparatively young in years, he is ripe in that kind of medical experience and skill which counts for so much in his work. The heights to which he has already attained in his profession and the large place which he has made for himself among the public would be considered by some a fitting climax with which to close a career of great usefulness. He is unfitting in his efforts to excel in his chosen line; hence he makes good use of every opportunity for study and contact by which he may gain more knowledge and experience. Henry Clay Bryant received his first college training at the famous Fisk university at Nashville, Tenn. On leaving Fisk Dr. Bryant entered the medical school of Northwestern university, at Chicago, from which he was graduated with honors. His first service as a physician was as an interne at the Provident hospital, Chicago, where he made an enviable record and laid, as it were, the foundation for his future as a practicing physician. Dr. Bryant is the chief surgeon at the George C. Hall hospital, in this city, and one of the surgical staff of the John A Andrew Memorial hospital, at the Tuskegee (Ala.) hospital. He is modest and retiring in demeanor, but his success does not permit his talents or his great work to be hidden. He is happily married to (Miss Myra G. Jones) the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati. Mr. Jones is chairman of the National Negro Press association. Dr. and Mrs. Bryant are the proud parents of a son, Henry Clay, Jr. Students at University of Pittsburgh. The following named young men and women of our race are students at the University of Pittsburgh thus far registered for this school year: Miss Zerke Turfley, Frank A. Turner, Joseph P. Dancey, James Ray, Chauncey Depew, Richard Orvin, Charles Florence, Wilbur Douglass, A. R. Browne, W. R. Brown, Walter Cole, John Barnett. In the medical department is John H. Eccles; law department, Arthur D. Stevenson; dentistry, Frank Norris and James M. Burwell; chemistry, P. Green; pharmacy, Leon Williams, Richard Carter, Miss Charlotte Austin; in the educational school, Miss Vivian Coates, Miss Marion Nicholas; engineering, Wray M. Banks, Constantine Webster, R. Cutts. Curtis Appointed Minister to Liberia. President Wilson after much watchful waiting has at last recognized the colored Democrats by appointing Lawyer James L. Curtis, member of the New York bar, as minister and consul general to Liberia. The appointment was first offered to Bishop Alexander Walters, who declined. Hoppers Awarded First Prize at Fair. At the recent El Paso county fair at Callahan, Colo., and Mrs. A. C. Hopper were awarded first prize for the best oats, hay and potatoes exhibited. They were the only colored people to enter the contests. MRS. C. NELSON Stationery, Novelties, Drugs Cigars, Tobacco, Ice Cream and Candies 1903 UNIVERSITY AVE.

Home Library Issues Valuable Work by Noted Scholar and Publisher. 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 meandering as tribal inhabitants crude and unlettered, through the slave trade to high 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 Askla, 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 $0,000,000 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, Boaz 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 manly spirit and courage of 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 Encourages Thrifty Yonkers Lad. Yonkers, N. Y.-Master Willie H. Butler 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 ```markdown ``` WILLIE H. BUTLER. fly, every member of which performs on one or more instruments. The youngster is a musician 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 falls. "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. Militant Race Organization to Hold Celebration in Philadelphia Boston—Freedom centennial week, the week ending Dec. 19 and including Dec. 18, which is the exact fifteenth anniversary date of the enactment of the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, has been chosen as the time and Philadelphia, chief city of the state of Thaddeus Stevens, where the Declaration of Independence was framed and declared, has been taken as the place by the National Independent Equal Rights league for its eighth annual meeting. This league, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownsville discharge and won most fame by its protest against federal segregation, believes that this real fiftieth anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great national meeting of the colored people of this country, together in conference. This eighth annual meeting will be held Dec. 14-16 in the beautiful Allen A. M. E. church, Philadelphia, pastored by the militant race champion, Rev. W. S. Carpenter. All colored Americans who will, whether they are members of this particular league now or not, honestly and earnestly contend in the cause of full liberty and full equality of rights are invited to attend this meeting. As the Jewish Americans will meet in a national congress, so let colored Americans meet in a race conference. All persons interested in a self protective struggle are welcome in Allen church, Philadelphia, on Dec. 14. It will be a general citizen's celebration of the semicentennial of the enactment of the thirteenth amendment. Sunday, Dec. 19, will be semicentennial Sunday. The league calls upon the colored people in every city to observe locally the semicentennial of the thirteenth amendment enactment in church edifices afternoon or evening. The Rev. Byron Gunner is president of the cateele and Editor W. Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian is the secretary. AN INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN. Hon. Harry C. Smith's Good Work In Behalf of the Race. Cleveland, O.—The last week of the six months' fight made by our people of Ohio and a few of their white friends, led by Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Gazette of this city, former Secretary of State Daniel J. Ryan, Robert B. Barcus and the local branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People of Columbus, O., who got into the fight against a certain photo play, ended successfully. How much justice there is in the manifestly unfair claim of a persistent Columbus writer that Messrs. Ryan, Barcus and others are entitled to all credit for influencing the governor of this state and the state board of censors against permitting the play to show in Ohio can be seen at a glance. says the Hon. Harry C. Smith. Especially is this true when it is remembered that months ago Governor Frank B. Willis promised the editor of the Cleveland Gazette in personal interviews at Columbus and in numerous letters, some of which have been published, that the play in question would not be allowed to show in the state. This was months before Messrs. Ryen, Barcus and the Columbus branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People made a move in the matter. Miss Newlin's Gifts to Our Schools. Bequests for $1,000 each are made to the Church Home For Children, the Day nursery, the Hampton (Va.) normal school, the Booker T. Washington school, the William J. Edwards school at Snow Hill, Ala, and the Children's Ald society in the will of Miss Margaret Newlin, a member of one of Philadelphia's old families, who died in October at 1510 Arch street, Philadelphia, leaving property valued at $105,000. The will has been admitted to probate. It gives her interest in the Shipley farms, in Delaware county, to her sisters, Mary and Katherine, and directs that they share in the residue of the estate with their brother, Thomas. National Association Branch Work. The Cincinnati branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People has elected the following named persons as officials for the year beginning November, 1915: William Stevenson, president; C. R. Davis, vice president; Mrs. Andrew Lee, secretary; Mr. Andrew Lee, assistant secretary; John Taylor, treasurer; Thomas Triplett, Thomas J. Monroe, Mrs. Edith Miller, Mrs. Phoebe Allen, Robert Greer, members of the executive committee. High School Boys Proud of Claude Hall. Members of the football team of the Boys' high school in Brooklyn are loud in their praise of the fine work of Claude Hall, who plays left end on the team and to whom credit is given for the team's victory over the Erasmus Hall high school in a recent game. Claude Hall is the only colored boy on the team and is rated as the best player of any member of the Boys' high school eleven. Chicago Firm Promotes F. L. Gillespie Frank L. Gillespie has been recently chosen by a life insurance company in Chicago superintendent of one of the departments of the business. In adition to giving him this responsible position, the officers of the company presented Mr. Gillespie with a gold watch as a token of appreciation for his long and faithful service with it.

It is a well-established fact that where drunkenness and intemperance are rife it always affects the weaker part of the populace first. The Negroes in the South and large cities suffer the greatest from the evils of drink. He, therefore, has all to gain and nothing to lose from prohibition. Why not be wise. Self-preservation is a good law of nature. It is a well-established fact that where drunkenness and intolerance are rife it always affects the weaker part of the population.

Self-preservation is a good law of nature. The great Panama-Pacific Fair is over. The radiant lights out. The sparkling and rippling fountains have ceased to pop forth.

Mrs. Wells of San Francisco recited an original poem on Washington, written by a young man of the race. Mrs. Frank Henry rendered the Death and Burial Moses fittingly. Miss Lutie-Gilbert charmed the audience with a lee as a Bird to Yon Mountain," also Mrs. Mary Louck rendered a lovely solo. The Union Choir was quite an aid to the service.

Rev. J. H. Brown spoke of the trip the doctor made to San Jose and the privilege he had of being his escort while in the city. Mrs. Wells of San Francisco recited an original poem on Washington, written by a young man of the race. Mrs. Frank Henry rendered the Death and Burial of Moses fittingly. Miss Lutie Gilbert charmed the audience with "Flee as a Bird to Yon Mountain," also Mary Mary Louck rendered a lovely solo. The Union Choir was quite an aid to the services. The memorial was very impressive and high class in every particular and shows that the colored people of this State and city are not lacking in their appreciation of the life and works of their leader.

The Negro press of the country has decided convictions of the life and policy of this leader of man. We lend no ear to those of his critics who claim errors in his policy in that he winked and laughed at the students of higher education. But we say emphatically he did not hate higher education, but that he loved industrial education more. The New York Crisis says that he was the greatest leader since the days of beloved Douglass, but it blows hot and cold from the same breath. It claims that this great leader was guilty of a monumental wrong against the race that he loved in that he was guilty of a heavy part of the responsibility of the disfranchisement in the South and the diminished school appropriation. Do we agree with the learned Dubois on this allegation? Is the Negro press of the country ready to go to the sepulchre with the Crisis and lay on the body and the grave of the lamented Washington that accusation of deeds foul and base against his race? We answer No. Most of the Negro press of the country, as we read the policy, is said to build on love and humanity and this is the only policy that can win the aristocracy and the poor whites of the South. At the same time we need our manhood rights. But let us not forget to prepare ourselves to exercise our privileges and rights intelligently while we are protesting. The press believes he was not mistaken, as some critics claim, and our people are peculiarly situated and can ill afford to practice all the extravagances and possess the luxuries common to a race of people with power, wealth and education centuries in advance of the Negro.

"No crisis has ever yet appeared when Christ's Word as not ready to take the van of human movement."—Ker. Perhaps there never has been an age when this memorable saying was more true than today. Sunday School at I P. M. was of unusual interest. We hope the Bible Class will soon give to us another such treat. It is needless for us here to take the time to mention the memorial exercises given by the citizens of the bay cities in the afternoon in honor of Mr. Booker T. Washington. We presume the committee will see to it that a full write-up may be given the press for the information of the public at large. Suffice it to say, that it was one of the most interesting, befitting, and up-to-date affairs of the city, and the manners cultivated. It was a little lengthy, but when we consider the occasion for which it was given, the personnel of the program, and the real worth of every number delivered, e should not complain. We shall have but the one like it—shall pass this way no more. Mrs. Cassell led our Endeavor so nicely for us Sunday evening. Bro. perguson will lead this coming Sunday evening, after which we shall elect officers and reorganize. Be on time for the Endeavor at 7 P. M. Notice is here and now served on all, that the pastor will hereafter see to it that all services, Sunday especially, shall open and close at the proper time, open right on dot at 11 A.M. and 8 P. M. We shall hope to see you present at all the services Sunday. We missed you very much last Sunday. Nearly all were there but you. You are missing many good things that go to make your life worth white. Come next Sunday. We have quite a number of strangers in our midst. Members of the church should see to it that all strangers in their neighborhoods and friends visiting them, etc., are brought to the services of the church. Kindly remember the week of house dinners and programs to be given Xmas week, beginning Monday evening, December 27th, and continuing through Friday evening. Full account of places, etc., will be given next eek. The 24th Infantry Band will give a great free concert at 15th St. Church next Thursday evening, December 16. You cannot afford to miss this unusual treat. Come early or you will not get a seat. Forum was attended with much interest Tuesday evening. We were agreeably surprised with the visit of Dr. Snelson of Chicago, former pastor of Bethel Church, he delivered to us a very timely address, much enjoyed by all. Our friends were glad to see the doctor once more. Mr. Alfred Berg, 1735 Russel street, is a practical jeweler and is prepared to do all kinds of jewelry repairing, cleaning, etc. Give him a call when in need of his services.

The stockholders of the Oakland Carbon and Battery Co. will hold its first annual meeting at factory office, standing in front of Amada, Cal. January 1916, at 7:30 a.m. to elect its officers for the year. Oakland Carbon & Battery Co. "BUY MEAL TICKETS." The State Commission of Immigration and Housing has caused a warning to be published in the papers of the East to the effect that an acute condition of unemployment may develop in California during the early winter. The Commission now states that this is a warning not only to the migratory workers of other states but it is hoped to influence those in California to husband their summer's earnings. The Commission urges that the surplus earnings be deposited in Savings Banks or other safe depositories. "Buy a meal ticket" is also a slogan proposed for the workers. The Commission suggests that such an investment of savings in advance payments in many instances prepares a wise precaution and would help to tide an unemployed man through the winter months. Year after year the opportunities for earning a living in times of stress in the winter, are growing more rare for the improvident and dissolute, who contribute not only to their own discomfort but to the hardships of the worthy fortunates who are too often adjudged to be in the same improvident class. Acacia Lodge F. F. & A. M. held its annual election last evening, the 6 inst. The following officers were elected: W. J. Anderson, Worshipful Master; J. Nashburn, Senior Warden; J. W. Hickerson, Junior Warden; John Uhby, Creature G. Brown, Secretary; A. G. Pergerson, Senior Deacon; G. H. Durgan, Junior Deacon; D. Mason, Senior Stewart; S. A. Bridges, Junior Stewart; Eli Baker, Tyler, and R. Jones, Chaplain. By a unanimous vote they decided to hold joint installation with Queen Esther, Eastern Star Chapter, on the 24th inst. We take this means of thanking the many friends who assisted us in the sickness and death of our beloved husband and father, also for the beautiful floral pieces. Mrs. G. W. HOWARD J. H. HOWARD Through the kind efforts of Mrs J. Douglas McAdoo the San Francisco Women's Club sent a Xmas box to the Old ol'ks' Home valued at $250.00 different items at the Exposition donated to Mrs McAdoo. Many thanks to Mrs McAdoo for same.

ROMAN CHEMICAL CO.: DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, no results. Two weeks after, condition was well, which forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a friend offered me a gift of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and tenthness had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CAPT. F. M.

Near Washington, OAKLAND, CAL. It is sax_-hat 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 every- thing 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 suc- ‘cess of the Chinese Herbs as a positive ‘cure for every coweeivable ailment known ,to the civilized world can be easily seen from our long lists of sat- isfied and happy patrons who value our prescriptions’ more than of the medical profession. Chinese Herbs have a his- tory of 5000 years and have 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 illness as incurable. ‘You can at least give us a chance, to demonstrate the effectiveness of | Chi- nese 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 MAR- VELOUS CURES.
