Vol 4 No. 28 INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS. STANDING FIRM FOR RIGHT JUSTICE TO ALL EMANCIPATION DAY TO BE OBSERVED C. H. TOBIAS SPEAKER COMMITTES NAMED Plans are well under way for the Emancipation Day Celebration January 1st, 1921. New officers for the next year have been ejected, the orator of the day has been secured, the Finance Committee has been appointed and the program for the day is rapidly rounding into shape. A meeting was held Tuesday night at the First Baptist Church and plans were discussed pro and con, to make next year's celebration nothing short of previous years. It should be interesting to young people, especially to ever perpetuate the memory of this glorious day because of the many advantages now enjoyed by them, which our forefathers did not have the privilege of enjoying. Young people should catch the spirit of the times and enter heartily into the celebration. Mr. C. H. Tobias, Secretary of the International Committee of the Student Y. M. C. A., has been secured as orator of the day, and is noted for his deep thinking and beautiful oratory. He will bring a message that every Negro man, and woman within a radius of one hundred miles or more should hear.

The Raleigh Independent "OUR TRUE INTENT IS NOT FINISHED UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED" STUMP WRITES FROM TEXAS Rockdale, Tex.—What have you planned for Christmas? So many people have made plans for Christmas and have been called to their eternal rest, that it is hard to tell just how many of us will be here now, although we have made the plans looking forward to a glorious time. I have made my plans and you have made youre. I want to be able to make some one happy. I am still lin Texas, but I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that I will not be in the state when you read this letter, and may not be in this section of the country, for I am going to move some and will receive all of my Christmas presents at 5922 Aberdeen St., Chicago, Illinois, and from there I will start out for another year if the Lord wills to have me do so. I am now leaning on His arms, and where He tells me to go, I will go and what He tells me to do, I will do, and this is all that will be required of me. The world continues to move, and it looks as if I am going to move with it. If I do I will and if I do not I will not. I have spent just two weeks with Bishop William Decker Johnson, and honey he is one of the men of this race of ours. You see we did not know much about him when he was serving as a mere pastor, and presiding elder. He lived in a little world called Georgia, and here and there we would catch a word about him. But he has stepped out into a larger sphere and the whole world is hearing from him through his wonderful messages which he is delivering to our people and then through the success of it is doing for his people. I don't know as I have ever seen a man more fatherly, and more brothier than Bishop William Decker Johnson, and he is certainly the bishop of all the people and all of them can reach him, and get right close up to him, and say what they want to say to him. He is a man every inch of him, and I have been able to fall in love with him. In his conferences he is accompanied by his wife, and it is interesting to hear her tell he story of their early struggles. She married him, at a time when clothes were scarce, especially with Dr. Johnson. He was on a mission and lived in a parsonage with one room, parlor, bed room kitchen and dining room, but he worked on that mission like it was a great big church rendering metropolitan service in a mission, which was but preparing him for the larger things. He had a vision, and saw himself one of the bishops, ann his eye sight did not deceive him. I think unto them were born 10 or 12 children, and that meant work. He made friends of all the people, and there was no way to keep him down if it had been tried. I have been around with him. My message came to you last week from Fort Worth, Teras, and I was then around with my good friend, Dr. N. T. Wallis, who is a tooth, dentist-doctor, spends his time in fixing up old smags, half soleing and patching up other ways. He knows the game. It was bright and early Monday morning that he got me up and ready for another part of the world. I had been invited by Rev. J. H. Hhghes, of Cameron to visit him, and the invitation was accepted. So Mrs. Hughes called by in order that she might get to ride to the sable in Dr. Wallis automobile car carriage. Well we reached the Santa Fe stable purchased authority to ride, checked luggage and were soon off for Cameron, reaching there in the afternoon, Rev. J. H. Hughes, who is pastor of the A. M. E. church, was there in an automobile car carruige to meet us and tote us to the parsonage, except me, and I was sent to the public school where I found a happy set of young people. Prof. Bartlett who is indeed a fine school man, was at the bat knocking out inside kinks, and preparing boys and RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, December 18, 1920. girls for thinkers. He himself is a deep thinker. It would not be out of place for me to say a word about Rev. Hughes He is a scholar and a preacher. He has done a great work in Cameron, and the people did not hesitate at the banquet that night to tell he Bishop they would like to have him returned. He is just a good refined Christian gentleman. Right by his side is to be found his wife, Mrs. L. M. Hughes, who was for a long time one of the leading teachers, but is now engaged in religious work. She is president of the state, state missionary, and a fine speaker. She is in the hearts of the people here, and they are proud of her. Off from Cameron, after spending a part of two days there, for the place where I am now, and here is where the Central Texas Conference is in session, the conference where Prof. A. S. Jackson, belongs, a Conference that is doing a great work, and has grown so that they will have to turn it into two conferences. Peol ple are here from all the other Conferences, and a large delegation from Georgia came along to see how Bishop Johnson is getting along in his new field of labor. I can say to them that he is just doing the work, that's all. As I have told you before there are many strong men in Texas and then there are many candidates. Among the strong young men, I would mention Rev. J. V. B. Goins, whose home is in Austin, and who is the son of his father, and his father was one of the greatest preachers Texas has given to the world. He has gone to his eternal rest, and his son is filling up the gap. He is cultured, and while he is not seeking anything just now the time will him. He is sitting down now and looking at the other aspirants, and will decide between this and 1924 just who he will support. In this group of aspirants we have Revs. E. J. Howard, a giant in intellect, and a christian, and the same can be said about Revs. H. A. Carr, S. B. Butler, G. B. Young, P. C Hunt, and one of the leaders in the young men is looking for the church Extension, but Dr. B. F. Watson is to hold that until the Lord calls him home. Rev. S. J. Johnson is one of those men who deserves promotion. He is a hard worker and loyal to the cause. Dr. W. D. Miller would be editor of the Southern Christian Recorde, if he can just get votes enough to beat Rev. G. W. Allen, which is a hard thing to do. I am not going to predict anything. I will leave this in the hands of the men who will do the voting. Plenty time, and I will turn loose in time. It seems that the men are going to really break up lynching. The men who believe that they are called upon to take the law in their hands and kill up criminals, or accused criminals, before it is known whether or not they are guilty will find themselves filling up some of the vacant space in hell. If you are in doubt, you just write at leisure and ask Governor T. W. Bickett, Raleigh, N. C., and he will let you know the truth and it shall make you whole. I have learned his, and I believe in every inch of it. If you are looking for a berth in hell, join a lynching party today. The law is going to be upheld. But I am just now praying for the men who are to be legally lynched in Arkansas. I hope that they will not be. God will take some of them law folks away from this world, and then there will be many people to leave Arkansas if this is done. Put it down that I told you so. What part are you going to play? Let us hope and pray. I may have something to say later. Charles E. Stump. ALL SUBSCRIBERS WHO HAVE NOT PAID THEIR RE- NEWALS WILL BE DIS CONTI N U E D JAN. 1, 1921. DR. JAS. E.

Pisgah A.M.E.Z. Church, Rockingham, on Saturday, Dec. 4th, 1920. Deceased died of pneumonia at Laurinburg where she had been taken for hospital treatment, Dec. 2nd. She was 19 years of age, and was a charming young lady, well educated, having attended some of the best schools in the state. Her illness was of short duration. Rev. J. S. Brown of Rocky Mt. conducted the services, assisted by a number of local and visiting divines of note. Committee on bereavement from her schools attended with memoriam and songs. Friends and acquaintances from Lumberton, Laurinburg, Hamlot, Durham, Fayetteville, Wagram, Rocky Mount, Sanford and other neighboring towns and places were present to attest their last and loving respect for the beloved daughter, sister and friend; and extending their condolence to bereaved parents and relatives. With tear stained eyes and bowed heads, former teachers and schoolmates stood by the sleeping form of their friend. The select floral offerings were both beautiful and profuse. She was a dutiful, obedient child and a devoted christian. For six years she was affiliated with the Baptist Church, but a helping worshipper and attendant upon others wherever she might be in reach of christian service. "A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death?" W. H. Quick. FARM PLANS FOR 1921 To the Negro Farmers of North Carolina—Gentlemen: I believe you have already realized your opportunity on the farm and that the permanency of any people very largely depends upon successful farming. Since our people are so well adapted to this kind of work, I believe it wise that more of us should take to the agricultural industry and encourage our children to do likewise. For once we shall have built upon a firm agricultural foundation many of the things for which we now clamor "A simple child. anything more than a general plan for the Negro farmers of the state. In so doing, I wish to offer this following which may be modified to suit each man's condition: 1. Don't buy anything to eat that can pe grown on your farm. 2. If possible, pay cash for what you are compelled to buy and purchase through co-operative organizations. 3. Whatever you do, don't plant more than you can properly cultivate. 4. Cut cultivatable acreage, plow earlier, deeper, and manure and fertilize heavier and cultivate intensively (frequently). 5. Be sure your soil is well prepared and plant only the best seed obtainable. 6. Substitute farm machinery for hand labor and one-horse plows if possible. 7. If your farm is too small to justify expensive machinery, combine your money with your neighbors and purchase cooperatively. 8. After cutting cultivatable crops, such as grain, grasses and legumes. 9. It would be wise to seed only as much as you can prepare thoroughly and add a few acres each year until the land desired is seed. 10. Introduce pure-bred live stock on a small scale and gradually increase same until they are able to consume all grain and roughage. 11. Sell live-stock and their products instead of feed, which will increase your financial income and aid in keeping up soil fertility. 12. Do not attempt to introduce this whole program in one year, but gradually work it in from time to time until wholly in use. By the adoption of the above program, you will find that more can be made on one-half or one-third of the land you have been cultivating than you have made heretofore and that your hay, grain, live-stock, etc. will be a very pleasing addition. Quality and not quantity is what we should strive for in cotton and toocacco, in food crops reduction in acreage and increase in yield should be our chief end. Sincerely yours, Jno. D. Wray, Farm Maker's Club Agt. NEUTRAL IN NOTHING.

Dec. 17—St. Philip's Church of New York, a colored Episcopal church which recently celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its incorporation as a parish, has given to Hampton Institute money for a prize, which will be awarded next spring to the member of the senior class who has the highest scholarship record. Dr. James E. Gregg, Pprincipal of Hampton Institute, made this public announcement at the time of the recent visit of Rev. Dr. Huchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's Church who spoke on "The Kind of Leadership." Dr. Bishop said: "Any group of people must look for leadership to men of outstanding ability—men not only of intellectual requirements but men, also, versed in secular affairs—men of capacity for doing things that need to be done. I suppose there never was a time in the history of the world when men of this type were so much needed as they are today. JUDGE ORDERS INVESTIGATION (By The Associated Negro Press) (By The Associated Negro Press) Albany, Ga., Dec. 17—Judge John R. Wilson of the Dohugrery County Superior Court ordered the Grand Jury to investigate the recent reign of lawlessness in the eastern part of the county, where many Negro families have been driven from their homes and some individuals have been whipped. Besides convening the Grand Jury to make a thorough investigation, Judge Wilson instructed Sheriff Tarver to summon as many deputies as might be needed to police the district so as to afford protection to the residents, white and black. He said he proposed to make it entirely safe for Negroes to return to their homes and to remain. The action of Judge Wilson is being commended. NEWS THAT IS NEWS WHILE IT'S NEWS COLORED GIRL "SLAVE" 18 YEARS RAN AWAY FROM HER WHITE MASTER (By The Associated Negro Press) Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 17—The citizens of Buffalo have been shaken by the uncovering of a crime here, which has been hidden for 18 years. One of Buffalo's white attorneys went south and brought back a little Colored girl, six years old. She has lived in his family ever since. But that was 18 years ago. Last week a 24 year old colored woman, none other than this former little girl ran away from her master, for it has developed that the servant of that family all these years, without pay. She has never been inside of a church or even spoken to a colored woman. She has been doing all of the work of the family of nine adults—washing, ironing, scrubbing, cooking, cleaning—without pay. When this child was 14 years old she was criminally assaulted by "some" white man, gave birth to a child in the Bucalo Poor House, but as soon as she was able, was taken back to the home of her "slave master," and here she stayed until last week. Her "master" has invoked aid of the Chief of Police to get back his "slave." At the Christian Culture Congress of which Mrs. Mary B. Talbert is President, strong addresses were made and a contribution was taken up to give this girl help. Mr. Cornelius Ford, one of Buffalo's prominent citizens has done the detesti- court in behalf of the girl, and to secure not only her wages for these enforced years, but hope to make this lawyer suffer the full penalty of the law, according to the Amendments to the Constitution. MORTAGE. BURNING Remarkable Service at Tupper Memorial Church Last Sunday evening after a strong sermon by the pastor, Dr. T. H. Dwelle, the main feature of the service was the mortgage burning. Members have been laboring hard for the past ten years with the help of friends to encourage, while others discouraged, but under the leadership of a "Moses" Dr. T. H. Dwelle who cried to God and God told him to speak to us that we go forward so we did. On Nov. 28th we raised nearly $500.00 which enabled us to pay the mortgage and all other indebtedness of the church. In this rally, two prizes were awarded those raising the largest amounts. The prizes—a $50.00 diamond ring and a $25.00 wrist watch—were awarded to Miss Julia Goss and Mrs. E. S. Ivey, respectively. God sent Dr. Dwelle to us in the time of opression and through his efficient leadership we have been victorious. We also wish to thank our friends who helped us much and little.

C., Saturday, December 18, 1920. JOHN C.. DANCY (Chas. H. Moore, Contributing Editor) When the spirit of John C. Dancy, in the grey twilight of Sunday morning, December 5th, answered the final summons of his Maker, before whom each of us must sooner or later appear, there passed from tine into eternity, one of the most familiar and conspicuous characters that have ever.been in the public arena during the past forty years. ‘He was an outstanding jas weljgas a notgble figure in poli- Fin se affairs, oF lecii’e Xp lag » as (a publicist in the lit¢rart fcid.| J -- » re + jurthermore, John Dangy w. xery:few’ poli- titans of the race that eger s in saving any money out of his office holdings. c ( This, he carefully and w.sely invested, so that when he died, he was reputed to be among the wealthy members of the race. ‘As an orator, Dancy was pleasing and persuasive, having few equals and scarcely any superiors. As a writer, he possessed the fortunate faculty of knowing how to clothe his thoughts in pure, simple and forceful Eng- lish. . ‘As a race man, he was true and loyal. While not radical, he was uncompromising in his stand for those things which he believed were for the welfare and advancemnt of his people. ‘As a friend and companion, he was a splendid man, his personality winnng and agreeable. Wherever and whenever one might run across John Dancy, he usually found him in good humor. In fact, the bonhomie spirit was peculiarly characteristic of him and it permeated every sphere of activity, in which he participated. He made it a rule of his daily eWaduet to look on the brigit side of life personally, and so far as the progress of the race was concerned, he was generally-optimistic—even though ut times, te others, the clouds lowered dark and threatening. John C. Dancy was born in Tarboro, N.C., May 8, 1857. After holding two or three political offices in his natve state, the most prominent of whith being the Collector of Customs at Wilmington, he’moved to Washington City to ac- cept of the Recordership of the District to which he was ap- pointed in 1901 by President Roosevelt. He served in this capacity nine years, after which he was elected to the position of Secretary of Church Extension by the General Conference A.M.E. Zion Church, which he was hold- ing at hte time of his death. By his departure, Mr. Dancy leaves a wife, Mrs. Florence Dancy, a daughter, Mrs. Lillian Reed, Greensboro, two sons, John C. Dancy, Jr., Secretary Urban League, Detroit; Dr. Josph P. Dancy and two sisters and a host of admiring friends Funeral services were held at Galbraith Church, Rev. W. D. Battle, pastor, Tuesday, December 7th. The Eulogy was delivered by the Rev. Wm. Harvey Goler, D.D., president “ssmeritus, Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. “In the death of John Dancy, the race suffers a distinct loss; for we shall not look upon his like @gain. Requiescat in peace DR. BROOKS LED HIS TICKET IN STATE ELECTION ——_—_— :We extend our congratulations to Dr. E. C. Brooks in hav- ing led the Democratic ticket over all other candidates in the election Nov. 2nd with a majority of 81,976 for State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction “His majority was 8,367 over Jas. M. Cox for president and 3,990 more than Governor-elect Cameron Morrison received. tn extending our congratulations to Supt. Brooks, we are not prompted to do so either as a Democrat or as a Republi- can, but as a citizen of the stae, in which we are deeply inter- ested in everythng that makes for its greatness. We are satisfied that one of the reasons why his majority was so great was due to the fact that, the colored citizens, who succeeded in registering, and especially the teachers, vot- ed for him to a very large extent. This they did for two reasons: 1st, They believe that the position of State Supt. Public Instruction should ve held, not only by an able, capable and progressive person but-also by a non-partisan individual, as far as possible. nd. They feel and know that Dr. Brooks is sincerely in- terested in seeing that the little black boy and girl have a fair chance in obtaining an education just as much so as the white boy and girl. 8rd. They are convinced that he is deeply concerned in tae colored teachers‘ having ex upportunity to prepare themselves for the work of the schvol room, and having done so, receive adequate pay for services rendered as much so as any other teacher of any other race does. With all due respect to and a full and grateful recognition of the services of Dr. James Y. Joyner, former State Supt. Pub- lic Instruction, in behalf of a better, a more intelligent and more reasonable understanding and feeling on the part of the whites towards the education of the Negro, we speak ad- visedly, when we. assert that Dr. Brooks, in the short time le has thus far served the state as Supt. of Education, has done more towards inducing the country school -/ficials to wake ‘nore interest in the colored schools, under their respective supervision, end to treat the colored teachers wore justly than what ever before obtained under any previous administration. Such being the case, some of us who had the chance io vote, decided it were best to let “well enough” alone and do our lit- tle “bit” towards helping to continue Dr. Brooks’ admnistra- tion, For we believe that, during the coming iour years, if the legislature will stand by him, under his sane and vise statesmanship and clever direction the cause of education will receive such an impetus as never before in the history of che state.
