Vol 3 No. 22. INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS. WE PRINT THE NEWS WHILE ITS NEWS NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE ASSOCIATION MEETS Special To The Independent Special To The Independent The National Intercollegiate Association composed of students from forty-five institutions of learning, five hundred of whom are spending their vacation in Detroit, was organized by John M. Ragad, June 8, 1920, Address 297 St. Annapolis Street, Detroit, Michigan. The purpose of the organization it to provide wholesome recreation, give economic advice, secure employment, to help all of these young men and women to return to school in the fall and continue their school work. It is also planned to conduct an educational campaign for one week beginning September 12th. During this week the first annual excursion to Tashmoon Park will be given by twenty-two of the colored churches of Detroit in honor of the college students. A large number of college presidents and prominent educators are expected to be present with us on that day. The students will wear their class colors. Floats of the different schools will be exhibited showing when they were founded and by whom, also the number of graduates, after from the different schools will be distributed. We also instituting a movement to list all children between the ages of six and sixteen and see to it that they attend the public schools. We have found that so many of the colored children who are brought north by their parents do not attend school. The student movement started a success, and the interest has never lagged—nothing succeeds like success. Through the courtesy of the Rev. R. L. Bradby, pastor of Second Bantist Church, Detroit, the college men rendered their first program Sunday evening, July 18, 1920. It was a thrilling success. Since then similar programs have been rendered in all of the leading colored churches of the city. They have given over sixty lectures to large and appreciative audiences on problems affecting the Negroas seen by the young college man of today. A benefit game for the Dunbar Hospital (local colored institution), was played at Mack Park on Thursday August 12th between the Detroit Stars and the Morgan and Wright colored team, the latter consisting largely of college students who are working in the factory during the summer. A benefit musical program was rendered at St. John's C. M. E. Church on Thursday, August 19th for the Plymouth Congregational Church. Civic and religious organizations in the city have vied with each other in doing honor to the college students by giving entertainments of various kinds. It is safe to say that the combined representatives forces of Detroit (col) sand squarely behind this movement because their cause is a just and worthy one. At the close of the season the first annual bulletin of our work will be published. Write for copies today. A fraternity house is being planted. A gymnasium will be seated where the business man, and others who desire exercise athletic training under the supervision of a competent director. PROF. ROOGERS PRESENTED SHAW LOYALTY FUND TD N. M Graduates of Leonard Medical School were in large attendance at the National Medical Association held in Atlanta during the week of August 23rd. Prof. F. J. Rogers represented Shaw at the Association in the interest of the Alumni Loyalty Fund. During the second day of the meeting, he and Dr. J. O. Plummer called a meeting of all Shaw men and the response was a gathering of more than fifty Shaw men and women, who pledged in all $5,750 for the Loyalty Fund. Dr. Plummer in his usual interesting way opened the meeting by giving a little history of Shaw and the last Alumni meeting. He was followed by Prof. Rogers who also presented the cause of the Loyalty Fund and endeavored to answer the many questions concerning "OLD SHAW." Dr. Isaac Lawrence of Philadelphia started things in the right direction by stating to the members present that he had just received a letter from Dean Frazier asking for a subscription and that he had sent in his pledge for $500. This statement from Dr. Lawrence seemed to have injected a spirit to do something for "OLD SHAW" and in a few minutes, $5,750 in pledges were in the hands of Prof. Rogers. N. M. A. MEETS IN ATLANTA Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3—The National Medical Association held its Twenty-second Annual session on August 25, 26, 27.

Parochial School The Davie St. Parochial School will open Monday Sept. 6 at 9 o'clock in the annex of Davie St. Presbyterian Church. Pupils are advised to enter at the opening. Rev. Leonard E. Fairley, Principal. The Raleigh Independent THE AFTERMATH Thefollowing editorial is elipped from the Raleigh Times: ALAMANCE NEEDS A NEW SHERIFF What a company of National Guardians saved the county of Alamance from in July, Alamance officers and Superior Court in session were unable to prevent a little more than a month later, and Graham, the county seat, gets its lynching after all. t We're inclined to take Graham's word for the fact that the lynchers were outsiders and came to town in a big automobile. Whether they came from outside of Alamance County, however, is quite a different question; it is hardly likely that citizens of another county could have received the news of the crime in to have organized a lynching party. Bri Graham, we think, has had enough of seeking to overthrow law and order. The pity of it is that Sheriff Story doesn't seem to feel sufficiently that way, a man who with court in session, his prisoner called for trial, having the number of deputies and the right to take from his custody in broad daylight by unmasked men has too little self respect, it seems to us to be allowed to continue to hold the office of sheriff in North Carolina. It will probably be impossible, as usual, to bring to trial those who did the lynching; but it ought to be easy enough to remove Story from office. And it's all of time that an example were made of one of these officers who tamely submit to having their prisoners taken away from them. It cannot be contended that the law was indifferent to the need for prompt punishment of the brute who had committed a crime calculated to enrage the countryside. Superior Court was in session, the grand jury had returned a true bill against the prisoner (who had been identified by his victim and by her parents). It was merely a matter of days, perhaps hours, until the State by order processes required John Jeffress' life of him. The Negro is no deader now than he would have been; but other men have assumed blood guilt that they will not enjoy later on, a sheriff's reputation is ruined, the laws of the State itself is disgraced. There's nothing much that can be done to repair the harm done; but Alamance can in part remove the stigma placed upon it by warming up another sheriff. To which the editor of the Christian Sun wrote as follows: Editor Times; Sir—I have just been privileged to read your editorial about the mob at Graham and your attack upon Sheriff Story. My work being about the same as yours, I know well how easy it is to sit in an office and say what the other fellow should do or not do. The whole story about your article is that you were not there, I was, and if you had been, you would write from a different angle. It is easy to write—a far easier thing than to write right or to give a definite thought. You were not there, and that is why you see it as you do. I am against mob law as much as you are, but just wait until you see one occurrence like took place at Graham and that old rusty pen of yours will wield in another direction. Those who do not agree with you can forgive you for your position for they know that you were not there. That is all—you were not there. Sincerely yours, C. B. RIDDLE, Editor The Christian Sun Burlington, August 27. To which the replies: WE WERE ALL PRESENT AT GRAHAM BY PROXY We agree with Brother Riddle that we were not there in person but we agreed agreement hopes. Together with over a million other North Carolinians we were there by us, and we have a perfect right to call down Sheriff Story and his deputies for their failure to carry out the instructions given them by the people of North Carolina. Whoever doubts that these inscriptions are plain, let him read the oath of office by Sheriff Story. Let those of us who were there by proxy only turn for a moment to the description of the lynching of John Jeffers as given by the Burlington News: "The place placed for the execution was the first woods on the Billemont road, about two miles from Graham. It must have taken just three minutes for the machine carrying the Negro to get to the place. The men did not take time to use a rope that was in the front machine but evidently threw the Negro out and began shooting him full of bullets. Within twenty minutes a thousand people had rushed to the scene in automobiles and had viewed the body. All the afternoon people drove out to see the terrible sight, many ladies going out to see the wretch that had sacrificed his inhuman act." Again we would insist that Sheriff Story failed to tote fair with you and perhaps he could no have arrested the mob, which is described by Deputy "Buck" Gerringer as "foreigners" and "giants"; but it does seem that he could have either RALEIGH, N.

WHITE DETECTIVE SHOT (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 3—Two white detective sergeants were shot and killed in one of the notorious "black and tan" resorts, the Pekin Cabaret, early morning by Hershey Miller, a tough gunman from his west side. The first reports of the affair gave the impression that the killing was the home of the mixing of white and blackancers who have been frequenting the place. This phase of the reports was placed due credence because of the frequent braws that have occurred in the resort between Negroes and white men about the right to dance with the Negro and white women who spent their leisure and late hours enjoying its illicit practices. Later reports, however, revealed that the operations of a big illicit whiskey ring was the cause of the tragedy. The Pekin Cabaret was an important receiving distributing station for a $1,000,000 illicit whiskey gang who were operating among the questionable resorts and "blind" salons in Chicago's south side. Graft, Politics and the bawdy charms of women of the underworld played their several parts in the sordid tragedy, and incidentally, another opportunity is afforded the local daily press to dilate in the criminal menaces lurking in the murky places of Chicago's widely known "Black Belt" William Hennessey and James Mulcahy were the detective sergeants killed by the trusty gun of Hershie Miller. The presence of the detectives in the Pekin at the unseemly hour of 3 a. m. is accounted for in the statement made by Miller that there was a quarrel about a division of spoils money. Walter Tyler, the Negro manager of the resort and one of his entertainers, styled, "Salome," and two white women, Lila Akron and Mrs. Jane Ritter are being held by the States Attorney's oxice as important witnesses in the case. Tyler denies any knowledge of the causes of the killing aside from the fact that they were present when the shooting took place. The Pekin remains closed as a result of the shooting. Dan Jackson, a colored undertaker, is therow of the building which houses the cabaret. An effort to connect Alderman Louis B. Anderson with the proprietorship of the cabaret by the authorities failed. WILL ERECT CLUB HOUSE (By The Associated Negro Press) Newark, N. J., Sept. 3—Negro professional and business men are to organize a social club and erect a club house in this city in the near future. The plans include a building with gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alleys and recreation rooms. Shillady Secretary Consumers League New York, N. Y., Sept. 3—John R. Shillady, ex-secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been appointed Executive Director to the newly created Consumers' League. have thrown a blanket over the Negro or have blocked the road to the ladies. Du listen again to the Burlington News; a marked copy of which has been sent to us: It is the general opinion, openly expressed, that this opinion was taken because of the mission of the investigation commission appointed by Governor Bickett, which commission absolutely refused to believe any evidence submitted by the people of the county, but believed and accepted the story of the men of the Machine Gun Company. Another thing, the act of the Governor in pardoning so many criminals was stirred our people to such an extent that there was a determination that this criminal that had confessed his crime should be punished and that there should be no possibility of legal technicalities endangering a conviction and execution." We fancy some trouble will arise in the acceptance by the public generally of the News definition of "evidence." It is true that there was a mass of conversation offered to prove that there never had been a mob gathered about the Graham jail; but the most of the testifying appear not to have been "there" either. The vast majority of the people of North Carolina will prefer to accept the findings of Beverly S. Royster, H. W. Whedbee and A. H. Boyden, the special investigating commission, who heard everybody who had anything to pertinent to say rather than to take "evidence" that seems to have been evolved out of resentment against citizen-soldiers who merely did their duty. It would have been far better for the State of North Carolina and for Alamance if there had been a company of Durham machine gunners on the scene Wednesday. Then these "foreigners" and "giants" would have been unable to offer this direct assault on law and order in broad, open daylight. In closing the last thing we expect to say about the latest Graham tragedy, we would like to ask the "general opinion" in Alamance when Governor Bickett has ever pardoned a rapist or a man who has in any fashion wronged a woman. The Late Dr. R. H. W. Leake Pioneer in African Methodism, Founder of Kittrell College whose funeral took place Sunday The Late Dr. R. R. W.

Two New Schools for St. Louis St. Louis, Mo., Sept 3—Two new schools for Negro pupils will be added to the school system of the city when the schools open on the 7th of September. This action of the school board is caused by the large increase of Negro children in the city. REV. NICHOLS TO PREACH The words of the proverb, "As the twig is bent, the tree is inclined" find apt significance in the life of Rev. L. R. Nichols, D. D. Born in Raleigh about 63 years ago his one ambition as a boy was to be a minister and his favorite play was to gather the children in his neighborhood to hear him preach. He had but little opportunity to learn, but as one has said, "He was the man to make the most of his opportunities and ride them to a successful career." Answering the call for larger service at an early age he left N. C., carrying with him the respect of all and settled in S. C., as a A. M. E. Pastor. How well he has succeeded may be judged by the fact that he connected efforts as pastor, presiding elder, general conference delegate, and he has wonderfully filled his trust and has been the recipient of many honors because of his noted piety, learning and faithfulness. He is in the city visiting Miss T. M. Nichols and will preach Sunday morning at St.Paul A. M. E. church at 11 o'clock. The Late Dr. J. E. SAMUELS Associate Editor The Raleigh Independent, whose funeral was held at Burlington, N. C. POLITICAL CULLING (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill. Sept. 3.—“It is finished.” The women of America are Fifty-Fifty with men; they are now full fledged citizens, with all the rights and privileges of the called sterner sex, and they will vote for the next President of the United States. The Tennessee legislature on the finishing touches, Governor Roberts understood and under scored the decree, and Secretary of State Colby gave the final official announcement to the world. There is much rejoicing, bell ringing and excitement of various kinds, but the dear old South has to go through an ordeal of elimination unlike anything else it has ever before passed through. If the South gets away with disfranchising openly, and with malice aforethought, all the Negro women of the section, it will be the most monumental act of legal indifference and defiance ever perpetrated in this country. Strong indications point to the fact however, that the women are not going to be as dolec and as easy as the men in seeing that the right-wing constituents are the right-wing constituents in the state and having them honestly counted, the women are more conscientious than men, and, whether Republican Democrat, they have high regard for the letter of the law. Therefore, there will be some interesting political developments. "The Negro women of the United States and the Negro men of the United States are entitled to vote now and everywhere and forever. Are the Democrats bold enough to deny them and are the Republicans rewards enough to permit the grand larceny?" Asks one of the most prominent Republicans in the country. Johnson to Speak Ever since the expose of disfranchisement methods in the South, and particularly in Georgia, by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, before the Senate investigation committee, threats of many kinds, insinuations and inuendoes have been made against the well being and life of the Colonel. A representative of the Associated Negro Press took the matter up with him and sought to learn his feelings on the subject. He said: "Do you wish a news story? Well, you can tell the world that I am going to deliver an address on the Campus of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, before the throng of people ever assembled in Georgia. I am going to tell them the truth as it see it, and I will not be afraid. I am going to send an invitation to every news reporter in Georgia, including the delilies, and I am going to invite the members of the Georgia legislature, and all persons who have anything to say about conditions in the South. I want them to be present and hear me." The date for this event has not been announced. However, direct information from Atlanta, Col. Johnson's home is to the effect that the people of that city are all ready to honor their advocate and leader. They have raised a large fund for Col. Johnson arrives from the North. His foot will not be permitted to touch the ground, but he will be carried to waiting automobiles or the shoulders of admirers. Excursions will be run to Atlanta from all over the state. It is learned on very excellent authority that there are large numbers of right thinking white people who agree with Col. Johnson and agree that he is right, and that he should booked up in his efforts to stop the violence in boothing and to once the door of the voting booth to the people of his race. Descendants of "Uncle Tom" Meets (By The Associated Negro Press) Dreaden, Canada. Sent. 2—The descendant of Josiah Henson, the original of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom" held a reunion here last week. They form he largest number of the Negro colony in this section of Canada. NEUTRALSIN NOTHING. PRICE FIVE CENTS THE 19TH AMENDMENT The 19th Amendment has been ratified and "Woman's Suffrage" is now a fact. It is now pertinent to ask "What, part will the Negro woman play in the new order of things political? Will she rise above or will she fall below the requirements of the situations. She will be obliged to answer these questions after the manner of her owninking of duty in the matter. Our friends of the South are somewhat perturbed about the matter. They have found, apparently, a new "nigger in the woodpile". White supremacy is again shaken to the very cellar floor. The black ghost of "Nigger Domination" rises longer than ever before in their millet and the welkins are ringing with the solemn changes of a song that puts "Hark From the Tomb" down for the count. Our own equanimity is somewhat disturbed about the serious situation which the brethren are called upon to face at this juncture in the Nation's history, and we softly suggest that perhaps a grandmother's clause is their election laws may tend to solve the question for them. The noted "grandfather's clause" may not fill the bill. We mildly advance this later suggestion because we are aware that that famed election devise to maintain the "white supremacy" of the South has worked wonders for the cause and might serve in the pinch and presence of this new peril. However, the winds blow, Suffrage is with us. The Negro woman must think long and deeply. Here is the higher duty divested of plaint and animated by a calm and fixed determination to take a true place among the citizenry of the Republic. She must do better than the men. May he God who made us all help her to stand firm and do the right. The Business Outlook In his dignified and truly notable address to the Business League convention, Dr. Moton pointed out "The opportunities that Negroes Everywhere now Enjoy for the Opening of New Business Enterprises." The valuable facts bear out this contention to the fullest. Particularly is this true the situation in the north where the Negroes have gone in very large numbers during the past few years. Combined with the new "race solidarity" conception, Kate has finally gripped the race in these times, the north is presenting an unusually fertile field for business enterprises for Negroes. Elbow room has widened. Prejudice is less malevolent in its operations and there is less social apprehension than obtains in the south. Thus opportunity gets her chance and progress makes its way. The word from all the large cities is most encouraging. In New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and St. Louis, the reports show that the business enterprises of the race present an astounding ratio of increase. Variety and character of the sort which commands sincere respect are exhibited in all directions. In calling attention to the remarkable instances of our growth in these particulars, Dr. Moton has done a public good. He also gives a stimulus to our social aims which cannot but work. He gives a very general improvement of our position among the bigger activities in the life of the people at large. So much for the business outlook Laid to Rest Nathaniel A. Brodie of Franklinton, N. C., who answered the country's call served as a faithful soldier during the war. From childhood he was a faithful soldier of the Lord having professed faith in Christ at the early age of eleven years and joined the church and lived a constant, christian life up to the time of his death, which came to him overseas, January 11, 1919. His body was sent to his parents August 18, 1920 and to rest in the family burial ground, this being the first body from France to Franklin County. The funeral service was held from Manasseh Chapel Baptist Church where the deceased was a member, Rev. M. C. Ransom officiating, assisted by Rev. L. A. Brooks and Dr. J. A. Savage. A solo was rendered by Mrs. Jennie Allen. In the upper garden, he was buried with military honors. The out of town attendants were Mrs. James Burns, Mrs. Pattie Hinot, Mrs. R. E. Watts, Misses Sadie Watts and Mattie Whitley and Mr. Willie Whitley of Raleigh, Rev. N. A. Cheek, Mrs Jenice and Miss Esther Cheek and Mr. Cillis Garnes of Warrenton, N. C. The floral designs were many and beautiful. The family wishes to thank the Red Cross of Raleigh for their beautiful design. Mrs. J. D. Crudup wishes to thank her many friends for their expressions of sympathy shown on the occasion of her recent bereavement. Mrs. J. D. Crudup and children have returned from Franklinton where they attended the funeral of her brother Nathaniel A. Brodie. Mrs. I. W. Hawkins, Mrs. Chas. Small, Mrs. W. M. Cotton, Sr., Mrs. Chas. Harrison, and Mrs. Adam Hay. wood attended the Lott Carey Con- vention at Portsmouth this week. # SAFE SANE RELIABLE NAPIER ON BUSINESS LEAGUE'S SERVICE (By The Associated Negro Press) James C. Napier of Nashville, Tennessee, the League's honorary president, spoke on "The Aim, the Growth and the Achievements of the National Negro Business League." He said: "Dr. Booker T. Washington, who organized the League twenty years ago, although men declared it would fail, had faith in the ability of the Negro race to make progress in business. He had a real vision. Spread eagle oratory was put aside. Men and women were encouraged to lay bare the struggles of their souls. The efforts of obscure men were clearly demonstrated. "In 1900, when Dr. Washington summoned a score of Dr. to attend the first meeting in Boston, there were few Negroes engaged in business pursuits. Negro business stocks diminutive. Negro business's experience was circumscribed. Today, Negro business men and women compare favorably with other men and women in business. "In 1900, for example, Negro real estate deals doing a large business could have been enumerated on the fingers of one hand. They were handling property worth a few thousand dollars. Now Negro real estate are handling millions of dollars worth of property. During this meeting a Negro real estate man within a very short time put through a $30,000 deal. "In 1900 Negro theatres were practically unthought of. Since then great progress has been made in building Negro; the beauty culture industry has grown rapidly; farmers have learned the value of applying science to their work; the chain-store idea is now developing. In 1900, there was one Negro bank. Today there are 72 Negro banks, handling millions of dollars. "The League's aim has been to teach the importance of the idea of community of interest among Negroes and to have Negroes support Negro enterprise." REV. STEELE ORDAINED Rev. K. S. Steele who has been assisted Rav. G. W. Moore, in his revival meetings for the past two weeks was ordained a minister of the Gospel at Rev. Moore's church at Mt. Gilead.

The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. H. G. Goldston, and the prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Mason. The charge and presentation of the Bible was by Dr. Geo. W. Moore.

Raleigh, N. C. Phone 1458 SUPER-SERIAL IS COMING TO THE ROYAL THEATER Charles Hutchison and Edith Thornton, Will Appear in "The Whirlwind" in Fifteen Episodes. Patrons of the serial moving picture have a rare treat in store for them. The multitude of fans who have watched Charles Hutchison, without a doubt the most sensational dare-devil star in the serial world, are to have an opportunity of again seeing their favorite actor in the most thrilling picture he has made. Manager M. Shelby Burgess of the Royal Theater announces that beginning Saturday September 4th he will show the opening episode of "The Whirlwind," a supreme serial in fifteen parts, filled with thrills, sensation and suspense. On Saturday of each week thereafter, one episode of "The Whirlwind" will be shown. This is not a western drama, but a city play, full of the dynamic power of the metropolis, and is enurely different from anything Hutchison has ever attempted before. His leading lady is beautiful Edith Thornton, who runs a close second to the star in providing thrills. The serial was written and directed by Joseph A. Golden, responsible for many screen successes. Serial motion pictures are the one branch of entertainment that every one likes. Manager M. Shelby Burgess of the Royal Theater, is constantly combing the market for a serials that combine wholesome entertainment with the maximum of thrills provided by daring stars. He believes he has found this in "The Whirlwind" a picture that meets the high standard of the Royal Theater. Hutchison plays the part of a daring motorcyclist, known as "The Whirlwind" From the time he saves the life of Edith Thornton from the back of a runaway horse until he pulges over Horse Shoe Falls in a canoe, each episode is replete with hair raising thrills. It is not the intention to anticipate the action here. Suffice to say the story concerns the eofort of "The Whirlwind" to foil the efforts of a man who uses his society position to head a gang of crooks and rob his friends. Don't make an engagement for next Saturday evening. You'll want to see the first episode and after that no one can keep you away on the evenings "The Whirlwind" is shown. A thrill a second for fifteen weeks That's "The Whirlwind," the serial that sets the poce in sensation and stars the King of Serial Stars—Charles Hutchison. You'll never see such stunts again unless you see Hutchison each week on Saturday night at the Royal Theater. This great super-serial will follow Elmo The Fearless.
