PHOENIX GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS ECONOMIC FREEDOM LIES AHEAD FOR COLORED AMERICANS SAYS GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA VOLUME II. NO. 41 PHOENIX ECONOMIC FREED AHEAD FOR COL SAYS GOV (By Associated Negro Press) BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 7.—Ex-Governor Emmett O'Neal of Alabama, president of the Bar association of that state, in addressing the members of the Twentieth Century club, urged that in all parts of the country the orderly processes of law be followed. He discussed the race riots of the country. "Who can say that the Negro race is not progressing and that economic freedom does not lie ahead of it?" asked the governor. "Despite the fact that they have often been exploited and guided unwisely and have been the victims of visionary schemes, they have acquired a billion dollars' worth of property and have reduced illiteracy among themselves from 90 to 20 per cent. "I voice the spirit of the new South when I say that mob violence and disorder is ended, that when the problem is solved as we intend to solve it—with justice—when all race emulity is eradicated, then will the hopes and dreams of the wise leaders of the South be realized. "Violence and disorder in the north during the last decade show that no section of the country can point the finger of scorn at any other section. "The remedy must be national or the United States must step down as one of the civilized and Christian nations of the world. The United States cannot afford to be the only civilized nation which permits mob violence and savagery."

Young has been giving a holiday series of parties in honor of her niece, Miss Fannie Sherrell, of Kansas City, Mo., who is her guest for the winter. The first was a dinner party Christmas afternoon. The guests of honor were Misses Fannie Sherrell and Helen Harper Vance, who is home for the Christmas vacation, coming from the Northern Arizona Normal school, where she is a resident, student in Morton Hall. The other guests were Mr. and Mrs. John Garner, Mr. and Mrs. Paris Tabron and Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Harris. The dinner was beautifully served in eight courses and the holiday spirit prevailed throughout the afternoon and evening. The toastmaster was Mr. L. J. Harris, but why—oh, why—did he pronounce a benediction when asked to bless the table? The next party occurred on Dec. 29th in the form of a fancy dress mask soiree. The house was beautifully decorated, and music was furnished by the talented guests and the Victoria. Almost the first to appear was General and Lady Washington in white wigs and beautiful satins. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Page made one think of the long-lamented general and wife as again in our midst, while Miss Marguerite Page, with her pretty face and winsome ways, fluttered here and there, a perfect Madame Butterfly. Mrs. Jacob Tull, as Miss Columbia, and Mr. Paris Tabron, as Uncle Sam, next attracted the eye, and then came the crowd, so brilliant as to defy description. Mrs. John Garner was the "vamp" from Bean Blossom, Indiana, while Mrs. W. H. Young appeared as an old-fashioned spinster in flowered petticoats and pantalettes. Misses Fannie Sherrell and Helen Vance were the village cut-ups as sunbonnet babies, while Russel Cannon, in short skirts and brown curls, had more than one woman planning a divorce. The men certainly fell for Russel's shape. Mrs. Anderson, with gray wig and old-fashioned gown, made a beautiful civil war dame, while Mr. Anderson was her wild and wilful sister with an utter disregard of whose husband she flirted with. Raymond Coleman, with blackened face and overalls, was a typical stevedore. Mr. John Garner was the hit of the evening as an acrobatic sky pilot, and W. H. Young and Jacob Tull stalked in Yama Yamas like spooks of old. Mrs. Thomas King was a winsome Spanish picador, while little Amanda King was a Tom Thumb bride. Jennie Rose was every one's baby and the pet of the evening. Mrs. Paris Tabron was the Humpty-Dumpty who sat on the wall all evening, while Mrs. L. J. Harris and her husband made a handsome couple as soldier and Red Cross nurse. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Todd, Mr. Eugene Lindell, Mr. Thos, King, Mrs. F. H. Alexander, Mr. G. Scales and Mr. Guy Bostick. At 11 o'clock the masks were removed and a dainty luncheon was served in two courses. At 12 the party broke up and thus ended the most pleasant evening spent in many years. Mrs. Eliza Moker, widow of the late Marshall Moker, has returned from a visit with her daughter in Berkeley, Calif. Mrs. G. Scales, while automobiling with Mr. and Mrs. L. A.

Christmas eve was a happy time for the colored soldiers and the Sunday school kiddies, when they filed into the People's A. M. E. Z. church and saw the tree laden with goodies provided by Santa.

E. church commemorating the fifty-seventh anniversary of our emancipation. Mrs. G. A. Reed was master of ceremonies. Mrs. Garrison read the Proclamation of Emancipation. Mrs. Fillmore read a paper, subject, "What Is the Mission of the Rising Generation." The thoughts contained in this paper touched the hearts of all present and made a lasting impression.

A "good-luck" dinner was served January 1st by Mrs. Stewart and was the first of the kind ever served in Douglas. Mrs. Stewart began serving at 12 o'clock and continued until 4 p. m. The dinner consisted of hog's head, black-eyed peas, chicken, rice and hot corn bread, and the beauty of it was that everything was free. All you had to do was walk in and eat. Indeed, that was good-luck these H. C. L. times. Causing you in shame to hang your head. Your once clean streets now gleam with blood. Omaha, the deed is done; The blood forever on your sons.

Following is an excerpt from a letter received this week from Private R. H. Lanier formerly of the 10th Cavalry at Fort Huachuaca but now with the Motor Transport Corps of Washington D. C., "Please send my Tribune to 418 P. St. N. W. Washington D. C., as I am now located in this city. I miss the Tribune so much and feel lost without it." "Am I my brother's keeper?" But say it not of little children facing starvation in the Near East. deed a pleasant surprise to the bride and groom. At seven-thirty o'clock p. m. the members and friends assembled at Mt. Olive Baptist church together with the pastor and his new bride. At this time they engaged in the big rally for the church building fund. A little more than five hundred dollars was laid upon the table as a result of only forty days' effort. Three days later Mr. Thomas E. Hines and wife, together with Rev. S. E. Newell and wife, made a trip to Jerome and Clarkdale, and as a result of their efforts were able to round out with $750. This amount made it possible for them to become legally entitled to a very choice corner lot on South Montezuma street. This lot is worth $3,000, but the Lord hath blessed them through their own Thomas E. Hines, in so much that by his skill he has saved them 50 per cent on the price of the lot. It will cost only $1,500. They rejoice in the fact that half of this amount is now paid. Thank the Lord and His people for the whole-hearted manner in which they are pushing forth His cause in Prescott. Come over and see how they do things in Prescott. DISGRAGED OMAHA Omaha, what hast thou done? Lynched one of America's sons; One who served for your democracy, Power, acme of hypocrisy. Lynched a brother without fair trial. Another crime on that vast pile Of lynchings that now spoil the name, And add to our loved country's shame. The life of the mayor of your shamed town, Your mob of maddened human hounds Unjustly from him did try to wrench, Adding more to that horrible stench.

According to the records of the city building inspector, Phoenix has expended nearly three million dollars in building activities during the year 1919. Although the complete report for the month of December is not available, permits have already been issued for more than 100 buildings at an estimated total cost of approximately $200,000, bringing the total for the year to $2,631,763. Considering the fact that many of these buildings were estimated at a cost which did not anticipate the great increase in the price of building materials, it is estimated that the total value of the completed buildings, construction of which was begun in 1919, will be close to the four-million mark. Four Hundred New Residences Inadequate housing conditions created a demand for residence buildings which was answered by builders, who received permits to erect 418 homes during the year at a total estimated cost of $1,041,687.50, which includes permits applied for during the month of December. Schools came in for considerable attention during the year and permits were granted to expend $267,443 in their construction additions and repairs. Records in the office of the city building inspector show the following total proposed expenditures of each month for building construction, repairs, additions and removals: January, $51,590; February, $135,656; March, $102,089; April, 132,667; May, $292,295.50; June, $243,834; July, $274,857; August, $190,996.50; September, $438,608; October, $188,740; November, $127,010; December, $196,870.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE Published Every Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company Entered as Second-Class Matter June 22, 1918, at the Postoffice at Phoenix Arizona, under Act of March 3, 1879 Business Office: 1302 East Jefferson Street. Phone 1250 Advertising Rates on Application All Matter for Publication MUST be in our Office by Wednesday evening, as we go to press on Thursday NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC An erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation which may appear in the columns of THE TRIBUNE will be gladly corrected upon its being brought to the attention of the publishers. In the December Crisis an account is given of the successful operation of co-operative stores by the Colored people of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. B. M. Roddy of Memphis was the instigator of the plan which was placed in action February, 1919. A charter of incorporation for the state of Tennessee was secured and a co-operative organization formed. It was made plain to the members that the purpose of such an organization was to secure and protect the interests of the members. They themselves were to control the distribution of necessities and all profits were to be divided among them. The basis of division of profits rested on the amount of shares owned by each member, however, and not on the amount of goods purchased, which is the better plan. In the case of this particular co-operative organization, incorporated, by the way, under the name of The Citizens' Co-operative Stores, the capital stock was originally $5,000, to which the members were invited to subscribe at $12.50 per share. This amount might be paid cash down or in weekly institutions of no less than fifty cents. No member might purchase more than ten shares and each member was to receive dividends on his holdings whenever the net assets of the corporation so permitted. Within ninety days after receiving the charter the organization had sold the entire $5,000 worth of stock and was obliged to amend the charter and capitalize anew at $15,000. By August 30, 1919, $10,000 worth of this stock had been sold and five stores with meat markets are operating. In the vicinity of each store is a Colored co-operative guild composed of the stockholders of the company—those who have already paid for their shares—and of the prospective stockholders—those who are buying shares on the installment plan. The members of these guilds meet at least once a month, keep abreast of co-operative literature, open discussions and offer suggestions. The five stores in Memphis are serving 75,000 people who are rallying to a concern which shows that the interest of one is the interest of all. One sees that what is actually happening is the phenomenon of a group of people buying and selling to themselves—buying necessities at cost and selling them back to themselves at retail prices. But just because the group that buys is also the group that sells, it is possible for the difference between wholesale and retail price to be returned to the members of the group as profits. And, too, co-operation aims at something else besides the establishment of food and clothing stores. Its main object is organization among a people who are in sad lack of that particular thing. It hopes to introduce insurance against unemployment, sickness, old age; to establish a system whereby loans can be made to deserving members without the bonus of high interest rates. Co-operation is an organized non-political effort of the people to control the production and distribution of the things needed to satisfy their wants. Its first requisite is loyalty and friendship towards one's fellowman. Finally, co-operation establishes the spirit of brotherhood. Volume one, Number one of the Rainbow, a magazine published at Macon, Ga., and edited by one Wm. Gains, came to our desk this week. It is supposed to be published by Colored men who have the interest of their race at heart. Its chief mission is to help the southern Negroes work out their own salvation "with fear and trembling" without leaving the southland and induce those who have gone north to return. The editor favors lynching as a means of reducing the criminal record of blacks which, he claims, "is too voluminous for an oppressed people." He is in favor of the Jim Crow law as practiced in the south and opines "that it will eventually drive him to race solidarity and enhance race pride." He also believes that disfranchisement will help, by "encouraging one set of men to content themselves on the color of their skin to take care of their citizenship and stir the black and compell him to carefully lay a foundation for franchise privileges that cannot be shaken by the combined powers of human skill." He is opposed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, teeth and toe-nail, and says that no southern Negro should indorse it. He concludes the editorial thus: "We are in the South. We can do a great deal HERE to make conditions more pleasant for Negroes. We are not only wanted in the South, but efforts have been made to get those to return who have left. We are not all going North. Let's try to make arrangements for living here. We need all the help from without which we can get. We can help ourselves in the meantime. ARE YOU WITH US?" No, indeed, brother, we are not with you and if the Colored people of the south countenance and are following such leaders as you, we concur with the Immortal Shakespeare when he made that famous utterance about "these mortals," and believe that it can aptly be applied in this case. Selah. On the very heels of the "Rainbow" comes Volume one, Number one of the California Voice, a race paper published at Oakland, Cal., and edited by one E. Marshall. Its editor claims that his paper has but one purpose and a single mission and that is to SERVE. It makes a noise like a real newspaper and starts out by taking hold of the most difficult problem known to journalism—leadership—and offers a solution for this great question. Hear what he says: "The present period of reconstruction calls attention to two inescapable facts: a new world struggling for birth and the imperative need of an awakened conscience able to face the challenge of the New Day. The Negro race, as never before, needs journals and newspapers that will speak out for the race, not mere sheets that have no policy save that of expediency, worshipping at the shrine of Almighty Dollar, moving at the behest of political bosses, allowing the best interests of the race to lag in the dust of racial neglect. The Voice is not a money maker, other than what might be realized from a stand, ing for the eternal principles of right. In this new day we must have our organs that will cry aloud for social justice for all men, special privileges to none. In the past, we have been affiliated in a great measure with many periodicals that had no policy save that of getting money. In the face of these grave policies they have shown that they are without the vision of statesmanship, the courage of leadership, or the conviction of race pride. The Voice does not come to criticise this class of leadership without offering something better." If the policy outlined is observed closely the Voice is destined to become a mighty power to rgood among readers of our group. We bid you God speed, brother journalist, and may you never have occasion to alter your policy one whit. Our esteemed friend, Mr. Rockefellow, is determined that his name shall go down in history as the world's greatest philanthropist. Perhaps he, like Carnegie, wants to die poor and is trying to dispose of his earthly possessions before the death angel bids him come. First, he showered a few million dollars upon the heads of Baptist ministers, then a few million were added to this gift. Now comes an Associated Press report that the price of gasoline and kerosene has been raised one cent per gallon. The few millions given away by Mr. Rockefellow will soon return in the form of excess profits, then he will proceed to give away a few more millions. Simple, isn't it? It is easy to be a public benefactor by Mr. Rockefellow's plan. He will never die a poor man as long as he continues his system of giving. Some philanthropist, we'll say he is.

Some philanthropist THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING BOYD FACTION WINS NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 29.—(Reciprocal News Service).—Christmas was celebrated with a different feeling and under different conditions by the Unincorporated or "Little R. F. D. Baptists," as they are known and have been styled for the past four years, due to a recent decree of the Court of Civil Appeals in the State of Tennessee that has just been handed down and made public today. The decree affirms a decision in Part II of the Chancery Court given out by Special Judge Cherry some time ago, when he declared that R. H. Boyd and others of the National Baptist Publishing Board are the rightful and lawful board, and, further, the court assessed the costs of the court upon the followers of the Morris convention, who brought the lawsuit. They appealed and went up, so it is said, claiming that the lower court erred. When all the arguments were in and the briefs were filed and when the Court of Civil Appeals had taken the case under consideration and studied the arguments and briefs of both able counsellors, their decision, in simple terms, was: The opinion rendered by the Court of Appeals is a lengthy one, more than twenty-five pages of typewritten matter rendered by Judge Wilson taking up two whole pages in the National Baptist Union-Review and the Nashville Globe, two enterprising newspapers published in this city. But the decree itself, as entered, was very short, concise, compact and to the point. In substance, the decree is that the Morris followers who complained against Boyd and his board members had no rights on the board and are not entitled to fill the positions as board members. They refuse to discuss or decide on the denominational squabble or quarrel which brought about a separation and two conventions. They say that the National Baptist Publishing Board, chartered under the law of the State of Tennessee, is the lawful and right board and that they shall have all the rights guaranteed to them by the charter of the State of Tennessee. The decree closes by saying that the Morris and Haynes followers who brought the suit shall pay all costs of the court. It is understood that when this decision was made and the decree entered that, consternation reigned supreme in the camp of the Morris followers, but the Boyd and Jones people declared that they are "calm in victory and sober in defeat," and that their erring brethren still have a chance to come back to their first love. Thousands of letters and hundreds of telegrams congratulating Dr. Boyd and his followers have been pouring in for a number of days. The history of the Baptist disturbance dates back primarily to the Chicago convention in 1915, while many intimate that there were rumblings of wars and rumors of wars before, and which almost came to a reality in 1914 at Philadelphia. Chicago was the real scene of conflict, and according to the best information, it was the famous charter secured by seven men, unauthorized by the convention, that brought about the separation when the Rev. Dr. Morris and his followers walked out and attempted to adjourn the convention without allowing the majority rule, which has always been regarded as Baptist polity and policy, to obtain. It was said that they were outvoted on three propositions. Since that time, the fight has been hot all over the United States, but from all indications, the Morris people have been beaten in every court trial, and according to the Jones faction, they have lost five decisions; three of them in Chicago, and two in Nashville. When Dr. Boyd was seen this week, he declared that he held no ill-will toward the erring brethren and that the National Baptist Publishing Board, the leading Baptist publishing plant of the United States, was supplying literature to twenty thousand Sunday schools and approximately one million, five hundred thousand Sunday school workers. He was busy arranging his plans for a trip to Panama, where he will visit Rev. and Mrs. Thorbourne, after which he will come home to make preparations for the Sunday school congress next June. He is planning, he declares, to keep in vigorous health, although seventy-six years of age, so that he can hold down affairs in his office, while his son, the Rev. Henry A. Boyd, his assistant and the secretary of the Sunday School Congress, makes the trip to Tokyo, Japan, during the World's Sunday School Convention, which is to be held following the National Baptist convention next September. WHOA, MULE! WHOA! (Charleston, S. C., New Courier) "More mules and horses have been sold to Negroes this year than ever before in the history of the county, and while in many instances the purchases have been made for reasons of business advantages, in many other instances it has been purely a matter of pleasure, the buyers having no other present idea than to use the animals for riding over the country." (By Prof. Cleero C. Simmons, Principal P. L. Dunbar School) Taking all the circumstances into consideration, the colored people have no reason to despair of their '1919 record, locally and nationally. Here in Tucson the general character of our people has changed for the best. There is a general disposition to be more reliable at their work, more truthful in their words, and more dependable generally. In a word, the secret wish now is: To do something, have something, and to be somebody. Two colored men have quit their city positions and are now engaged in farming. One of these men has his ranch stocked up with hogs, poultry of all kinds, cattle, horses, excellent vegetables, barley, and a $1500 well equipped with a 12-horsepower engine, 15-inch pump, 4-inch pipe. The P. L. Dunbar school is trying constantly to lay firmly and securely the educational foundation of its colored pupils. The Masonic lodge, Eastern Star and Household of Ruth chapters are supplying the fraternal needs of the community. Colored employees engaged in what is termed common labor, as well as those engaged in skilled labor, made satisfactory records in 1919. The S. P. shop boys held their own. Colored business enterprises are doing well in the city. In a national way, colored people have done well, not only in individual business efforts, but there is a real disposition to unite their powers into big business. For example, colored people of Savannah, Ga., plan to build a $1,000,000 hotel and business building combined. Two Virginia colored banks just distributed $180,000 to their depositors (8,000 members of the Christmas savings clubs). A negro realty company of New York city recently purchased a seven-story apartment house in that city valued at $300,000. Last year Negroes acquired a dozen elevator apartment houses in the Harlem. In the South Negroes, although confronted with certain sectional drawbacks, are forging ahead in the manner of tilling the soil, purchasing more farms, and securing more city property. The lynching of seventy-six colored males and one colored female, of course, is very depressing to the race, and certainly most discrediting to our nation in Europe and the South American countries. It is hoped that sooner or later mob acts will be a federal crime. The colored people as a whole do not condone the criminal acts of our men who commit improper acts upon women of any race. There are 15,000,000 colored people in America at this time. Fifty-five years ago only 3 per cent of the Negroes could read and write. Today about 70 per cent can read and write. The sane leaders of the race (who are in the large majority) believe in cultivating the closest possible friendly relations between the white and black races. It is very gratifying that such great southern papers as the Atlanta Constitution, Columbia State, and Houston Post are fighting "lynch law" with characteristic southern vigor. An enviable record was made by the 400,000 colored men who fought bravely in the great World War. High praises of the splendid record of the Negro soldiers in camp and upon the battle front in France were issued by Secretary of War Baker, General John J. Pershing and former President Theodore Roosevelt. The Negro helped to win the war not only with gun but by his rich musical talent. When they were heard singing in France, a keen-witted observer said: "You cannot defeat a singing nation." "Send me more singing regiments," cabled General Pershing. The Negro is the originator of the now famous "jazz" music. The brave, fighters have returned to America, a splendid group of men with high spirit, lofty purposes and a greater hope for his and his race's future. Another Colored Bank (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—One of the most forward steps in unified business progress ever taken in the United States and very significant of the trend of the times will be the opening shortly, after the first of the year, of the Binga State Bank, the first of the kind ever established in the north. The promoters of the institution are all men of the highest integrity and successful business attainments and known throughout the country. Among them are: Jesse Binga, banker and real estate man; Robert S. Abbott, president Overton Hygienic Manufacturing company; Charles S. Jackson, undertaker; Reginal Smith, physician; Dr. U. G. Dailey, former president of the National Medical association. The bank will make a new epoch in the business life not only of Chicago, but of the entire middle west. KENTUCKIANS FAVOR EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL U. S. CITIZENS (By Associated Negro Press) LOUISVILLE. KY., Jan. 7.—At a joint conference of the National Consumers' league, the Americanization committee of the Kentucky branch of the Woman's Council of National Defense, and the Kentucky conference of social work, held at Louisville November 20-24 was a very important session, devoted to race relationships. This is reported to have been the first meeting ever held in Kentucky where leaders of both races came together before a large audience of both races to talk over important matters of common interest. The spirit of the meeting was encouraging in every way. At the close of the session the following resolutions were adopted: First—We favor the establishing of district sanitaria with state aid for the care and treatment of all persons, both white and Colored, in Kentucky, who suffer from tuberculosis. Second—We urge all the people of our southland, both white and Colored, to co-operate with the view of bringing about a better understanding between the races, and to this end provide adequate educational facilities for Negro youth. To adopt measures that will insure the Negroes health. To recognize the good and the higher qualities of the Negro through press and otherwise. To guarantee justice and a recognition of his rights before law and to stand for the equal enforcement of law on both sides. To endeavor in every reasonable way to give the Negro a man's chance and help him work out his own salvation as an American citizen. Births Decreasing Among Blacks in Southland COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 7.—Negro births in South Carolina during the first ten months of 1919 show a decrease of 2064, as compared with the same period of time for 1918, according to the annual report of the bureau of vital statistics, now being made up. White births show an increase of 219 over the figures for 1918. The decrease in the Negro birth rate is accounted for by C. W. Miller, chief clerk of the vital statistics bureau, on the theory "that large numbers of Negroes have left the state in the past two years, and when the census for 1920 is taken it will be found that the Negro population has been largely overestimated." The Negro migration from South Carolina to northern and central western cities in the early part of the year was widely commented upon, but as they left as a rule in small bodies, the extent of the movement may not have been fully realized. The decrease in the number of births in a single year of more than 2000 caused much comment at the health office. The Negro births for 1918 totaled 17,527. The total for 1919 was 15,463. The white births for the same two years were 14,793 and 15,012, respectively. COLORED POPULATION OF CHICAGO IS NOW PALCED AT 125,000 (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO. Jan. 7.—Chicago is the second largest city in the United States in Negro population. The district known as the "black belt" contains a larger number of Colored people than any similar area in the country. These are findings of the Urban league as stated in its annual report by the secretary, T. Arnold Hill. A notable increase in employment of Colored girls and women is pointed to. Since 1915 Chicago has added approximately 75,000 people to its Colored population," the report says. "This is true of no other city. Detroit and Newark have increased their Negro population between 300 and 400 per cent during the last four years. But neither of these cities has a Negro population half as large as Chicago's, now a total of 125,000. "In 1910 Chicago ranked fifth among the cities of the North having large Colored populations. Today she is second only to New York, and this, by the way, only because New York includes the population of Manhattan island, Brooklyn, the Bronx and certain other Long Island towns. "The greater part of Chicago's increased Negro population had arrived at the close of 1918. While we have had a steady increase of population since January 1, 1919, the new arrivals have come in smaller numbers and with less confusion, thus permitting us to give more personal supervision to spend more time with individuals. "Since November 1 of last year 20,815 separate individuals used our office for a total of approximately 37,350 different times. Most of them were people looking for work and most of them who were in earnest received it. Many needed vocational guidance, a friendly hand, a constructive suggestion." Mention is made of the employment by Sears-Roebuck & Co. of 1400 Colored girls at 310 West Washington street. At the same place there were employed last year 600 Colored girls, and the company said it was willing to again employ during this holiday period 575 of the same girls. It was found, however, that less than half of these were available, although wages were $2 a week higher than last year. "This was due to the fact that the others were employed," the report states, "the labor field for Colored girls having expanded beyond all calculation."

Dr. Camphor was born at Soniat, La., on August 9, 1865, the son of Perry and Elizabeth Camphor, both of whom had been slaves until free during the civil war. His parents died in his early childhood, and he was adopted by his pastor, the Rev Stephen Priestly, who had him educated at New Orleans College and at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta. Later he pursued postgraduate courses at Union Theological Seminary, Columbia University, and the University of Chicago. He was professor of mathematics at New Orleans College in 1893-93 and pastor of Methodist churches at Germantown, Pa., in 1896, and Orange, N. J., in 1896. In 1897 he went to Liberia to become president of the College of West Africa, and filled that post for ten years, during the last five years being vice-consul general of the United States in Liberia. He returned to this country in 1908, and for the next eight years was president of the Central Alabama Institute at Birmingham, Ala. In 1918 he was elected bishop of Africa by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which met that year at Saratoga Springs, and thereafter made his home again at Monrovia. He was a delegate to the Methodist general conferences of 1904 and 1912, and to the world's missionary conference at Edinburgh in 1910, and was a member of the African society, the Freedmen's Aid Institution of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Southern Sociological congress.

Little, near here, fell vo the ground, Thursday, when the frame building from the roof of which they were viewing a boxing tournament, collapsed. Several were seriously in jured, but none seriously.

He took ham and eggs instead, and we presume he marched to the gallows without any feeling of discomfort amidships and a pleasant sense of having dined sensibly and well. The spectacle of this Negro declining chicken at his last meal, his regard for his stomach in extremis, as well as his desire to do nothing that would ball up the hanging through the in- disposition of the principal, is almost the ultimate in self-denial. Had it Ween us, we are frank to admit that we would have filled up on spare-ribs, sauerkraut, mince pie, pickles and ice cream and everything else normally taboo. Then we would have marched —or been carried—cramped but hap- py, to the gallows and defied the hand- man to do his worst. a MOO Se People who attend to their own business have but little time for criti- elsing others.
