Dear Mr. Editor: It is with interest and much concern that te you today. And I am really ing myself and others in taking privilege. I am going now to do your just and wise judgment. I call a serious blunder on the of the colored people of the U. I have just read in the New World where Negroes have just red themselves to be used at the hotel waiters labour unin New York City in the month day 1912. I do think that it is for the black race to be guided wiedom and intelligence, and forever allow themselves to be led around by every old kind of ole. I beg that you colored or do your part in guiding the ole, as it seems, (which I am sorry say) that the colored ministers gone to sleep entirely, with aid to guiding the Negro race in right path. Now you know that it is right; which wrongs no man. Be where the Negroes of Florida, some of them allowed themselves be taken over to New York City month to fill the places of strik-hotel waiters. I wish, therefore, the best interests of the colored to be quoted as saying that it a decided blunder, too often be by colored men in America toow themselves or people of their life and communities to be import-from place to place to take the faces of honest laboring men when by inaugurate strikes. Strikes are air only means of defence in dending what they as a body have termined to be their rights. Why is equal to a man taking the wife another because she and her husband are temporarily separated, at the wife may learn the value of husband. I say with emphasis at this is wrong, and should not be one, and, if, that in peace these people fail to recognize them they should taught the fate of their folly by Negroes scorning them in their lemma. Negroes should by all means make friends with laboring men, and if possible; establish such relations among them of all races at they might feel that the persecutions of the Negroes is but one blow subjugating all laboring classes. colored men must show dignity if they wish to be respected. "Do unto others as you would be done to," not a bad command; even in these says, and I believe that if the advisers of the Negro race should do more work along these lines they would help them much more than begging money from capitalists to establish churches and schools. It will soon be a dishonor to a man to show his certificate gained from these. Probably you all have forgotten the disrace and slaughter perpetuated upon the Negro race about 15 years ago who were carried from Alabama to take the places of strikers in the state of Illinois and I ask you today that have the mining operators give for your trouble? In time of peace they will not give you work; but as soon as his white brother demands his rights, he, (the capitalist), reminds him that he has a very convenient tool, in the form of a black man with which he will make him accept such terms as be, (the capitalist), sees fit to grant, and I, as a true believer in social progress think that if I can not help the poor laboring man I shall not wilfully hurt him. You should remember how some men become rich, and why many others remain poor, and thus choose what is right and always support that. Remember, that if you cannot find friends among the laboring classes, it is hard to expect them among capitalists whose every move is for their financial advantage, and further, after the strikes are over what is the general result of all this? Are the Negroes not thrown out for the benefit of the white laborers? If you are going to do a thing, do it right and people will always respect you. I often wonder where your advisers are when you all are making these great blunders which bring upon you and your race the curses of God and society. We must not forget that, Our fellow travelers on the road we should watch with anxious care, and when they reach a dangerous place, we should warn them don't stop there. Therefore, I feel it my honest duty to tell the people whom I love, for God's sake don't do that again. I likewise beg the cooperation and help from all who love that race to join me in same. For social and equal rights to all, I am. Your humble servant. I. S. Moore. GOOD OF THE FIRST TEETH. First teeth in children are often neglected because parents think it doesn't matter; they come out anyway, so what's the difference? Just this; A set of well kept first teeth prepare the way for good permanent teeth. There should be no pulling of first teeth before the six year molars come in, for then the jaw has broadened sufficiently. First teeth that have been cared for stay in until they're ripe for falling (they'll be wabbly for weeks, but shouldn't be pulled) and come out clean out, without a streak of blood or matter on them. Then you can see the new ones peeping right up, all ready to sprout in a couple of weeks. Constant praising of their clean months and pretty teeth stimulates pride in the youngsters. The teeth should be specially brushed at night, as that's really when most damage is done.—New York Press. THINKS WOMEN CAN'T HIT. A general belief that women cannot throw straight was the best defense of Mrs. Rose McKinney, charged in the police court here with having struck her neighbor, Mrs. S. J. Russell, with stones in a quarrel. How far were you from each other when Mrs. McKinney threw at you?" the judge asked Mrs. Russell. About thirty five feet, and she hit me on both sides of the head, was the answer. Defendant is discharged, said the court. If Mrs. McKinney hit you at a distance of thirty-five feet, she is a genius. I never knew a woman who could throw ten feet and hit what she was throwing at.—Kansas City Journal. Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. BRECHER'S LOVE FOR BOYS. Bx W. G. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher loved boys, and he would not pass one on the street without a cheery word. The following story was told by him self. One Sunday morning after a hard shower, I was on my way to Plymouth Church to preach as usual. It was a beautiful Spring morning and I felt at peace with all the world. In the gutter on Orange Street a little urchin was busy forming the mud of the gutter into a square shaped pile, in the center of which was a bump of mud. "What are you making, my little boy?" I asked. "Why, can't you see? That's Plymouth Church." "What's this?" I asked, pointing to the hump of mud. "Oh, I'll make him if I have mud enough," said the bright little fellow with a grin." A HANDY SUIT "Where's your daughter Mary living now, Mrs. Mooney?", inquired one of her neighbors. "Her hoosband got a foine job on the Toimes, reporting accidents," said Mrs. Mooney proudly, "and the two of them and little Moike is living in a suit up town. "What's a suit?" inquired her neighbor. "A quit," said Mrs. Mooney, "is one o' thim places where the parlor is the bedroom, and the bedroom is the kitchen, and the closet is down in the cellar, and the beds is pianys, or organs, and—well, its one o' those places where everything is something else, concluded Mrs. Mooney. Moralizer—"Prosperity has ruined many a man?" Demoralizer—"If I was going to be ruined at all, I'd want prosperity to do it." O LECTURING. A certain prominent lawyer of Toronto is in the habit of lecturing his office staff from the junior partner down, and Tommy, the office boy, comes in for his full share of the admotion. That his words were appreciated was made evident to the lawyer by a conversation between Tommy and another office boy on the same floor which he overheard. "Wotcher wages?" asked the other boy. "Ten thousand a year," replied Tommy. "Sure," insisted Tommy, unabashed. "Four dollars a week in cash, and de rest in legal advice." MORE SUITABLE. Archbishop of Canterbury was a man of real wit. He was going in with a number of other clergy to lunch soon after some great ecclesiastical junction; when a sanctimonious dignitary observed,— "Now to put a bridle on our appetites." Quick as lightning the Archbishop retorted— "Say rather, now to put a bit between your teeth." As It Sounded. Say, old man, can you make out this thing, is it a prescription? Neigh, neigh, my boy. That's an English liveryman's bill for your last purchase, and means, The horse-----$100 00. Hay for the horse----.50 Getting him home----1.00 FALSE IIAIR IS UNIIEALTHY Chinese pigtails have been cut off and a great quantity of hair thus thrown on the market, says a press dispatch, but, despite this, false hair has not taken a slump. On the contrary, prices have advanced. The cause of this is, of course, an increased demand, and this great demand is due to the rats, puffs, etc., that every woman seems to think it necessary to wear to be in style—as if the wearing of false hair, probably dirty, always from someone else and, maybe, from a dead person could add beauty to a woman. It is a matter of fact that false hair is absolutely injurious to the natural hair of those wearing it. It can be plainly seen that the piling of hair on top of one's head is going to be detrimental to the real hair. And it is detrimental, for it causes a warmth and a persecution that is deadly to the wearer of it. Those who wear false hair constantly can safely wager that in the end they will lose their own hair. If women would only realize that the hair can be dressed just as tastefully and charmingly as it can be with piles of false hair they would throw away the false hair and never again wear it. There should be enough sensible women to abolish the wearing of false hair. Here is opportunity for the suffragists to show that they disdain the frumperies of style and fashion by leading a movement against false hair. Then its prices will be a matter of indifference.—A Man in Baltimore American. THIS LADY HAD A SUCCESS FUL TRAMP. Mrs. Clara Mitchell, a Chicago north side woman, has just completed a walk from New York to Chicago which she made as a psychological experiment. Mrs. Mitchell said last night that three theories had been proved by the trip. First, that physical endurance does not depend on diet or muscle; second, that the power of intuition is a safeguard and a guide; and third, that motor action ceases to be effort when it becomes a habit. There was not one unpleasant experience during the trip, said Mrs. Mitchell. When noon arrived my intuition would guide me to a house where I would be welcomed and caused me to shun places where I might have met with a rebuff. The walk proved my three theories to my satisfaction and was a successful experiment from a psychological standpoint. Foreign Disgust At Americans Foreign Disgust At Americans "In the course of visiting many of our great coast resorts to inquire into the question why more American visitors are not attracted during the winter, spring and autumn seasons, it was found that in several prominent towns a surprising prejudice exists with respect to American visitors. "One found Frenchmen and French women, Germans, Austrians and Russians very welcome visitors, but the feeling against the American was quite general. 'One hotelkeeper said—and his words are given exactly as uttered; "'I do not want these Yankees in my place. They may be wealthy, but they are excessively mean and want their money's worth every time. After the Americans we have bad, I don't think they are any sort of advertisement. In fact, I believe a hotel which is notably frequented by Americans loses or is avoided by the best class of English and other visitors. "American visitors of wealth have the most barbarous manners. The men throw their shaving papers on the bedroom floors, spit indiscriminately about the stairs and vestibules, drown conversations in the drawing and reception rooms, swagger about and dress in such a fashion that one really would be ill paid by raising the tariffs 100 per cent. to them. Then again they are difficult because other guests cannot help commenting and laughing outright. "When Americans arrive here we like to know something about them before we state that we have accommodations, and under such circumstances can you blame us? "At another resort the same question arises. There the leading authority in town said: "We welcome French and Germans but not Americans. They are always talking money, thinking money, dreaming money, but only under compulsion are they spending it. They invade the place and act as if they had bought it. Their method of addressing servants reminds one that they insult Negroes whenever they get a chance on principle. I know of no hotelkeeper who could refuse an American, but I know of few who are delighted to see them.—London Standard. TWO BULLS IN DEATH FIGHT Two fine Kentucky bulls fought a duel to the death on a fancy stock farm of Al Hardman, a well known politician at Big Bend, Calhoun Co., West Virginia, the other day. The larger bull weighed a ton and cost $1225 while the younger was valued at $500. There had been bad blood between the animals and they went at each other ferociously. They fought, disregarding the nearness of the steep river bank, over which they tumbled into the Kanawha. Instead of attempting to escape from the river, they continued the death conflict until both became exhausted and snuk. Their bodies were later seen floating down the river. Both were badly mutilated. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE MORAL, RELIGIOUS AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN X: Pay for all advertisements is due in advance unless advertising is run by yearly contract, in which case the advertiser pays every three months. J. R. Clifford, Editor & Proprietor Drawer 869, and Soil Phone, 60K. Martinsburg, W. Va. 6ATURDAY, AUGUST 3rd, 1912 "Where do you stand Clifford?" Progressively partisan to a fault; strictly sectional as to state and nationally otherwise. See? Bre. Troter, you may hear of our being in Chicago, and if you send a $3 telegram to us, please pay for it at your end. Will some friend of ours send something black with which to drape our printing office? - for the reason, the Boston Guardian has ceased to come. Our beau ideal of womanly woman with the quill, is Ella Wheeler Wilcox. All her writings near the stamp of the genius as an author and her goodness as a woman: We advise all of our readers to weigh well everything they read, before deciding what they are going to do, from the fact, all kinds of tricks and publications will come to you before next November. William Munroe Trotter, through his own selfishness and treachery, has brought himself into the spot light of contempt this country over, and we are forced to congratulate ourselves on getting so many splendid letters from men of letters, brain and honor in commendation of our course. There is a whole lot of Tom foolery about stopping lynchings, and it does not amount to anything; but the conduct of Robert Charles, of New Orleans, John Dowe, of Tuscaloosa, Will Reynolds, Herbert Mark, Jack and William Richardson, of Atlanta, did more to stop it than all the courts of the country. May their tribe increase. Some keener, who was, possibly, made to believe that Martinsburg is a medical Eldorado, finding it otherwise, has, probably, sought individual relief by telling the believable, that we are in the throes of a typhoid epidemic, and places the cause to decayed vegetation. Hamph, doesn't that stuff die every year, and has ever there been a time when our drinking water ceased to flow. Go on about your business, and if such a thing occurs, boil the water and drink it. The beef trust, or packers, have raised the price of beef to 143 cents wholesale per pound. This gives a topic for scientists to gas over. Why should it, for all they say or can say, would not amount to anything unless they would reach our conclusion, and that is, until people go to the old way of living, and depend on the new, they must pay high prices for everything they buy. But suppose they resort to trying to own an acre or so, and raise their own hogs, sheep, cattle, chickens &o., what would become of the beef trusts? Down they would go, and down would go high prices. Try it, ye poor clamoring people, who are being deluded by asking you what and how to get rid of high prices. It is said American blood is crimsoning Mexican soil. It may be done for a purpose. Haye you thinkers ever thought seriously over what the Panama Canal may cause. Mark our word that the effort of the Europeans will be to destroy it and you know why. Let them do so rather than have our own soil stained with our blood. Do you know that that little South African war cost England 100,000 men and $1,000,000,000? It staggered humanity, cost England her prestige and earned for her the world's contempt. Mr. Lorimer may be guilty as obarged, but his ousting forcefully recalls an act on a time when a thief running from officials, was yelling "thief." If any one can explain to our satisfaction how Southern Senators, elected by the vilest fraud, can vote to put a man out of the United States Senate on the charge of fraud, we will do as "Billy" Jones did. They disfranchised millions and go to Congrese, and vote against a man who spends money to be elected. The former is rotten; the latter, if true, bordering thereon. New York is in the throes of one of the rottenest deals the world over—murder and $2,400,000 to cover it up. As murder will out, so will crime. No town in the Shenandoah, and Northward—the Oumberland Valley, is better located for health, wealth and natural blessings than Martinsburg, W. Va., and why should it force white women in the face of jimorowism and segregation on colored people, or into "Africa," shoot up that section, scare the servile Negroes, and call it heaven? Please explain. Our never failing friend, John Mitchell, Jr., banker and editor of the Richmond Planet, saw things in their proper light, anent the League's action in Philadelphia, except the windup, that it is dead. You might as well declare a church dead for getting rid of a ring-tailed devil. Be assured, our brother, that there is nothing with which Trotter has been connected, but is better off without him than with him. Having found him out, we would like to see Trotter, who, "as a secessionist has Jeff. Davis beaten to a frazzle." lined up in some kind of an organization with the devil, for the sole purpose of seeing who would be who. For years we have been saying that white people, or those who make a speciality of burning, killing and lynching Negroes, would finally begin to mob themselves. The day of such a condition is at hand, and lawlessness on their part is assuming proportions which are menacing in the extreme. Only week before last, a court clerk in Dublin Georgia, assisted by some other white gentlemen(?) caught a beautiful young white girl, and whipped her almost to death, leaving her body a mass of bruises. Since that time she has been confined to the hospital, and as yet her life is despaired of. Just to think of such a high-handed outrage being perpetrated upon a poor, innocent girl for no other reason than that she went with the son of the man who beat her. When an evil, local by consent on the part of the law and the churches for if either would act, it could not be, has become widely known in scope and scandalizes a community and threatens the peace and good order of a town—and especially in the white peoples designated "Africa" and blackens the crimes of slavery, is it not high time to act to save your alleged honor? God says yes. Where is our brave Rev. Dr. McCurdy. Rev. Dr. Woods, Rev. Dr. Trump, Father Fallon and all the rest of our sky pilots? Will you in the name of God and decency combine and walk westward to the extreme ends of Martin and Burke Streets and enquire of every house who lives there? Do it and get God's blessings or neglect it and get his cursees. I beg you to do it for the good of my race—locally I delight to help. In another column will be found an article written by Prof. Isaac S. Moore, of Bahia, Brazil. It has reference to the strike of the hotel waiters of New York, and is a fair argument from the professor's viewpoint. To our way of thinking, tho, it strikes us that our South American friend is in error when he opposes, under certain conditions, Negroes as strike breakers. There are times when it is very unwise for Negroes to aid employers, and there are other times when it is the part of wisdom for them to do so. For instance, if an employer treats the men under him fairly, and they quit without a cause, and Negroes are given a chance to gain employment, temporary at first, but permanent after they have been given a trial, it is our opinion that they should obtain it, and that without delay. Consistency Thou Art A Jewel. William Munroe Trotter, while fighting and damning President Taft for his leadership in turning out the Negro soldiers, really worked and voted for Mr. Taft during the Massachusetts state wide primary, and possibly praised Senator Orane to get his or Taft's $'s. Then goes to Philadelphia, and tried to bound Roosevelt and Taft, and because, men of saner brains would not allow it, secedes and declares himself and his followers for Woodrow Wilson. What a consummate hypocrite. Believe us when we tell you, that we have a pocket, full of damaging facts, and when we get through with Fortune's "crezy editor" and Mitchell's "hell raiser," he will deserve as much respect as that Georgia preacher, who, on his way home, saw a fellow whipping a mule, and had him arrested for cruelty to animale. Further on he saw a white and colored boy fighting and when the colored boy got on top, he not only kicked him off, but kept on kicking him till he left him unconscious. Root Rooted. One of the worst foes the next President has is Elihu Root. Just read what he said about T. R. in 1904. An estimate of Theodore Roosevelt pronounced by Elihu Root on February 10, 1904, at a banquet of the Union League Club of New York, is of especial weight because Root was at that time a citizen in private life. He had retired as secretary of war, which cabinet position he held under President McKinley, and not until several months later was he appointed secretary of state by President Roosevelt. Addressing the league, Mr. Root said: "I count it, my friends as one of the greatest privileges of my life to have been able in that day of our great sorrow, when our lamented President McKinley was carried away, to have been able to stand by and hold the hands of his true and loyal successor, Theodore Roosevelt. "I am told that he is not popular in New York. Men say he is not safe. He is not safe for the men who wish to prosecute selfish schemes for the public's detriment. He is not safe for the men who wish the government conducted with greater reference to campaign contributions than to the public good. He is not safe for the men who wish to drag the president of the United States into a corner and make whispered arrangements which they dare not have known to their constituents. "But I say to you that he has been these years since President McKinley's death the greatest conservative force for the protection of property and our institutions in the city of Washington. "I would rather have my boys taught to admire as the finest thing in our life the honesty and frankness, the truth and loyalty, the honor and devotion of Theodore Roosevelt, than to have all the wealth of this great metropolis. "The work of President Roosevelt has more weight for good in this land than that of any score, or all his detractors put together." Editor John C. Gilmer, of the Charleston Advocate, was elected as a delegate-at-large to the Roosevelt Party Convention, which meets in Chicago Monday, August 5. The selection was a good one, and we congratulate Editor Gilmer on being so highly honored. A BRILLIANT MOVE. It was certainly a brilliant move on the part of the National Independent Political League when they refuse to go on record as endorsing the old party candidates and platforms, as they know and every one else knows that the platform means anything, only to deceive, as they have been doing for years. The whole system is wrong and why should any man or set of men endorse it. We have no fight to make over Roosevelt or Taft, for neither means nothing to the poor man, be he white or black. If either Taft or Roosevelt wanted to benefit the people, it would be impossible. Neither can Wilson do anything, though he is a progressive. That means nothing but to fool the people into voting for him. I read both platforms and expected to find something new or definite, but failed. Yours respectfully. (Rev.) N. H. Fields. Eikins, W. Va. MME. HACKLEY'S RECITAL Noted Soprano Delights Large Audience at Music Hall in Pittsburgh. The musical event of the season, from an individual standpoint, in Pittsburgh was the farewell recital given recently by Mine. B. Eralha Hackley, the noted soprano singer. The affair was held in Carnegie Music hall, and the through which assembled to hear Mine. Hackley evidenced the high esteem in which she is held by the public. Mine. Hackley interspersed her musical selections, which were twelve in number, with interesting and instructive remarks on the mechanics of music. This created much favorable comment and showed also the rare ability and capacity of the singer and lecturer to amuse and instruct at the same time. Throughout the twelve numbers Mina Hackley played her own accompaniments. The first selection was given in French, the second in English and the third in Italian. There was also given with much precision Dominic's "Burst of Boville." Mina Hackley, after finishing her tour of suffering rectality, will devote her time to teaching voice culture among our people. The general theme of Mina Hackley's lecture talks is on vocal characteristics, culture tone, culture poise, vitalizing of tones and the pure mechanics of vocalism.

DREW'S ACTIVITIES Success of a Washington Pastor Who Works to Unify Humanity. Washington—At the recent session of the New England Baptist missionary convention held in Orange, N. J., it was decided to hold the thirty-ninth annual meeting of the convention in this city. The convention will be the guest of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, of which the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is pastor. The organization is composed of churches and their auxiliaries covering eleven states and fostering missionary work in Haiti and Africa. It also does home mission work and assists many educational institutions. The convention will be in session for five days beginning on Thursday, June 12, 1913. The Rev. Mr. Drew, pastor of the church in which the convention is to be held, is noted for his ability to bring P. REV. DR. SIMON P. W. DREW. things to pass. He has undertaken many difficult tasks during his ministerial career. He is a man of great ambition and persistence and generally succeeds in whatever he sets out to accomplish. Dr. Drew's record of achievements compares favorably with the work of many ministers of longer experience in pastoral work than he. One only needs to refer to the Cosmopolitan church for a verification of the above statement. Dr. Drew founded this church. It is doing good work and is full of life and Christian zeal for the uplift of the people. As an evangelist Pastor Drew is widely known.

Remarkable Record of Man Who Achieved Greatness Nearly Two Centuries Ago Almost Single Handed. Won Success by Dogged Persistence. Was Possessor of Strong Memory. The biography of Benjamin Banneker as given by John H. B. Latrobe and published by the American Negro Monographs company, in Washington, is worthy of the most careful reading. Professor John W. Cromwell is the editor of series No. 3, which contains a full account of Banneker's achievements. Benjamin Banneker was born in Baltimore county, Md., near the village of Illinois Mills, in the year 1732. His father was a native African and his mother the child of natives of Africa, so that to no admixture of the blood of the white man was he indebted for his peculiar and extraordinary abilities. His father was a slave when he married, but his wife, who was a free woman and possessed of great energy and industry, very soon afterward purchased his freedom. Banneker's mother was named Morton before her marriage and belonged to a family remarkable for its intelligence. When upward of seventy she was still very active, and it is remembered of her that at this advanced age she made nothing of running and skipping like a child. A nephew of hers, Greenbury Morton, was a person of some note notwithstanding his complexion. Prior to 1809 free people of color possessed of a certain property qualification voted in Maryland. In this year a law was passed restricting the right of voting to free white males. Morton was ignorant of the law till he offered to vote at the polls in Baltimore county, and it is said that when his vote was refused he addressed the crowd in a strain of pure impassioned eloquence which kept the audience that the election had assembled in breathless attention while he spoke. When Benjamin was old enough he was employed to assist his parents in their labor. This was at an early age when his destiny seemed nothing better than that of a child of poor and ignorant free Negroes, occupying a few acres of land in a remote and thinly peopleled neighborhood, a destiny which certainly at this day is not of very brilliant promise and which at the time in question must have been gloomy enough. Attends Country District School. In the intervals of toll and when he was approaching or had attained manhood he was sent to an obscure and distant country school, which he attended until he had acquired a knowledge of reading and writing and had advanced in arithmetic as far as double position. In all matters beyond these rudiments of learning he was his own instructor. On leaving school Ben, as his friends were wont to call him, was obliged to labor for years, almost uninterrupted, for his support. But, his memory being retentive, he lost nothing of the little education he had acquired. On the contrary, although utterly destitute of books, he amplified and improved his stock of arithmetical knowledge by the operation of his mind alone. He was an observer of everything that he saw or which took place around him in the natural world. He sought with advidity information from all sources of what was going forward in society, so that he became gradually possessed of a fund of general knowledge which it was difficult to find among those even who were far more favored by opportunity and circumstances than he was. At first his information was a subject of wonder among his illiterate neighbors only, but by degrees his reputation spread through a wider circle. Benjamin Banneker, still a young man, came to be thought of as one who could not only perform all the operations of mental arithmetic with extraordinary facility, but exercise a sound and discriminating judgment upon men and things. Invents Clock at Thirty Years of Age. It was at this time, when he was about thirty years of age, that he contrived and made a clock which proved an excellent timepiece. He had seen a watch, but not a clock, such an article not yet having found its way into the quiet and secluded valley in which he lived. The watch was therefore his model. It took him a good while to accomplish this feat, his great difficulty, as he often used to say, being to make the hour, minute and second hands correspond in their motions. But the clock was finished at last and raised still higher the credit of Banneker in his neighborhood as an ingenious man, as well as a good astronomer. As already stated, the basis of Banneker's arithmetical knowledge was obtained from the schoolbook into which he had advanced as far as double position, but in 1787 Mr. George Elliott lent him "Mayer's Tablets," "Ferguson's Astronomy" and "Leadbeater's Lunar Tables." Along with these books were some astronomical instruments. GIVES BANQUET TO COLLEGIANS Pastor of Bethel Church Promoter of Big Function. Unique Affair In Honor of Young Men and Women Who Have Won Their Spurs at College Attended by Great Throng—Dr. P. A. Scott's Influence and Leadership. By Miss ELIZABETH JONES. Pittsburgh—The testimonial banquet recently given at the Bethel A. M. E. church in this city in honor of the graduates of the various institutions of learning in Pittsburgh and vicinity and also from distant cities was a most pronounced success. The banquet was given also as an incentive to other young men and women who have not yet completed their studies to press on until they reach the goal of their ambition. The reception was planned after the manner of a regular college commencement. The program consisted of addresses, orations and original essays by a number of graduates from different institutions. The music furnished by the J. W. Myers orchestra was classical and arranged in keeping with the occasion. The affair brought together some of the most cultured and enterprising people of Pittsburgh, representing almost every vocation and calling. The program was pronounced one of the finest ever witnessed in this city. The following institutions were represented by the graduates: Pittsburgh high school, Misses Enghter Watson, Jennie Goldston, Gladys Tibbs, Jennie V. Patterson and Frank E. Scott; Braddock high school, Miss Irene O. Morris and Oliver M. Johnson; Cannonsburg high school, Miss Pearl J. Walls and Lewis A. McGee, the latter winning highest honors in a white school and receiving a gold medal. New Brighton high school, Miss Aura B. Walden; Carnegie Technical Institute, Misses Lois Hall and Carrie P. Barks; University of Pittsburgh, Leo P. Phillips; Wilberforce university, Miss Julia Bumery and William P. Bayless, A. B.; Howard university, Miss Jean Hamilton and Horace Jenkins; Storer college, Missos Roy Johnson and Hilda Hamilton; Morgan college, Walter Jackson; Beaver college, Miss Norline Webster; United Presbyterian college, Miss Hattie Simms. These twenty-two young people are preparing to enter a variety of professions and callings, among them being domestic science, civil service, teaching, journalism, literature, pharmacy, medicine, law and the ministry. Judging from their splendid school career, their excellent qualities and the brilliant manner in which they acquitted themselves on this occasion, a very useful future can safely be predicted for each of them. This beautiful banquet and testimonial was planned and conducted by Dr. P. A. Scott, the popular and successful pastor of the historic old Wylie avenue church, and he has thereby not only honored in a very signal way the graduates and those whom they represent, but has won for himself new and justly merited honors as a leader in thought and activity and as a patron and indorser of the higher education of the race. In closing the graduates' testimonial Dr. Scott announced that his purpose is to perpetuate this occasion annually and to develop it into much larger proportions from year to year. To encourage and assist in the development of a strong and intelligent citizenship should be the duty of every person who has the interest of the race at heart. This is Dr. Scott's idea, and it has met hearty approval. The campaign of 1912 is to Negro's chance to serve himself. --- ```markdown ``` THE MERRIAM WEBSTER?
