WOODS NEW FACTS REVEALED A FORCEFUL ARGUMENT. I am gratified to report that my patient, upon whom I have been working for several weeks, is somewhat better. Dr. Woods' last article indicates marked improvement in his mental condition, so I see no need of changing his medicine, even though he is far from being well. In his first article, he affirmed and declared that from 1867 to 1899 there had been no affiliation or cooperation between the Baptist State Convention and the Home Mission Society, and that there had been no change in the ideals and policies of said Convention in all its history. But now he states that between 1893 and 1899 the beginning and the end of affiliation with the Society on the part of the State Convention that the said Home Mission Society did contribute to Virginia Seminary the sum of $5,365.35. Men who make a business of stating things falsely ought to have good memories, otherwise their beds will be too short and their coverings too narrow to hide their deception. Now, we have WINNER OF I Mr. R. W. Moss, polled 217,3 tablished the fact by his own words that the Virginia Baptist and the Home Mission Society affiliated together in educational and missionary work from 1867 to 1899, when, because of a change of policy in the Baptist State Convention the Baptists of the state divided into two bodies. As I before said, the Home Mission Society, according to agreement demanded that all monies collected and spent by the institution should be accounted for; that books should be kept by this institution as in other institutions added by this society, which, as anyone can see, was not PERSONALS AND BRIEFS.

THAT COMPROMISE AGREEMENT. This is the culmination of a correspondence extending over a period of nearly two years. A tactic agreement was reached with counsel for the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A. by which the suit of the Grand Lodge, K. of P of Virginia would be changed to a friendly one, the question as to the legality of the per capita tax levy by the Supreme Lodge be submitted to the Court and decided, and after this decision, the holding of a compromise conference to adjust matters thereunder. Counsel for the Supreme Lodge communicated with counsel for the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, and the latter responded, but nothing further was heard of this agreement until about the middle of July when Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., received a registered letter from Frankfort, Kentucky, the home of Dr. E.

GRAND CHANCELLOR MITCHELL SPEAKS Grand Chancellor Mitchell and the Virginia delegation agreed to do this and on Thursday 3:30 P. M. August 19, 1915, they entered the meeting place of the Supreme Lodge. All members of the delegation went to the rostrum. Grand Chancellor Mitchell smilingly shook hands with Supreme Chancellor B. W.

Grand Chancellor Mitchell was introduced by Supreme Representative E. R. Jefferson and he then spoke in a humorous vein.

To the Negro Baptists in the United States. Greetings: As we near the time for the 25th Annual Meeting of the National Baptist Convention, to be held at Chicago III., September 8, 14, 1915, it is fitting we think that the man who has been honored with the presidency of that great organization for twenty-one years, to at least attempt to forecast some of the things to be considered in that meeting, and ask the prayerful consideration of them by the leaders. The editors of our denominational papers are honest, capable men, and most of them predict a peaceable harmonious meeting, for which we should all labor and pray. But it is evident that some of them have been misinformed; and as moulders of public sentiment, they have unintentionally conveyed that misinformation to the general public. The National Baptist Convention is infact, and will hold a harmonious profitable meeting, unless it should be disturbed by just such persons as were in evidence at the Philadelphia meeting. The officers of the Convention have but one purpose, and that is the promotion of the best interest of the race and denomination, and they hold firmly to the doctrine that the people must rule, and that principle will not strictly adhered to at Chicago. The clouds which some would have you believe have gathered over the denomination, to the effect that seven men have arrogated to themselves the authority to incorporate the Convention, and that they are to be the WINNER OF SH Mr. W. E. Brown, polled 151, 39 sons owner and controllers of the affairs of the Convention have nothing in them but wind. The president of the convention never saw a copy of the charter gotten out by the committee, until the 24th of June, 1915, and was not consulted as to its construction. But he has given some time to a study of it since that time; and no such construction can be rightly given to it by any unbiased man. But to the reverse, the charter places the affairs of the Convention where they rightfully belong in the hands of the people as represented in their national organization Most of the complaint being raised against the seven incorporators are by persons who are themselves members of a corporation whose charter makes it possible for their perpetuation in office without the consent of the National Baptist Convention; while the seven men mentioned in the charter will not retain their positions except by the will of the Convention. Nor are the conditions of the charter such as to require all meetings to be held in the District of Columbia, as reported in the papers. I quote Article 6. "That, the annual meetings of said corporation shall be held at such times and places in the United States of America as shall be provided in its bylaws, or shall be fixed by resolution of its Board of Directors." It will be observed that the corporation is the National Baptist Convention, and not the seven directors who may be replaced by the corporation at its option. Le mo beg that all persons who desire that the Convention shall control its own affairs, and that the will of the people shall not be overthrown, to come to Chicago to peaceably adjust all differences, and not allow yourselves to be angered by designating men, who would have you disgrace the race and denomination.

And now I must take my leave. He picked up his hat and came from the table. Peg sprung up breathlessly and frightenedly. Now that Mr. Hawkes was going she felt deserted. He had at least been gentle and considerate to her. She tugged at his sleeve and looked straight up into his face with her big blue eyes wide open and pleaded: "I扎e, sir, take me with ye and send me back to New York. I'd rather go home.

He gently pressed her back into the chair and smiled pleasantly and reassuringly down at her. Just when he had negotiated everything most satisfactorily to have Peg endeavor to upset it all was most disturbing. He went on again: "Your aunt will do everything in her power to make you feel at home. Won't you, Mrs. Chichester?" "Everything?" said Mrs. Chichester, as if she were walking over her own grave. Peg looked at her aunt neatly (her expression was most forbidding); at Ethel's expressive back, fastly at Marie fitting a cigarette into a gold mounted holder. He whole nature cried out against them. She made one hast apposed to Mr. Hawker. "Do send me back to the father?" "Nonesay, my dear Mrs Bromwell." You would not disapprove your father in that way, would you? Wait for a month. I'll call on the lot, and I expect to hear only the most charming things about you. New goodbye." And he took her hand. She began up wistfully at him. "Goodbye, sir.

If she were going to stay there she would make the best of it. She would make some friendly advances to them. She held her hand out to Mrs. Chichester. "I'm sure I'm very grateful to you for taking me to live with ye here. An' me father will be too. But, ye so it's all so strange to me here, an' I'm so far away—no' I miss me father so much." Mrs. Chichester, ignoring the out stretched hand, stopped her peremptorily: "Go with him!" And she pointed up the stairs, on the first landing of which stood the portly Jarvis waiting to conduct Peg out of the family's eight. Pep dropped a little courtesy to Mrs. Chichester, smiled at Ethel, looked loftily at Alarie, then ran up the stairs end, following the footman's index finger pointing the way, she disappeared from Mrs. Chichester's unhappy gaze. The three looked at each other. "Awful!" said Alaric. "Terrific!" agreed Mrs. Chichester. "One thing is absolutely necessary." Mrs. Chichester went on to say—"she must be kept away from every one for the present." "I should say no!" cried Alaric energetically. Suddenly he ejaculated. "Good Lord! Jerry—he must not see THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S MUSEUM her. He'd laugh has been off at the idea of my having a relation like her. He'll probably remain to thank." "Then she must continue in her room until he's gone," and Mrs. Chichester determinedly. "I'll go into town now and order some things for her and see about it later." She must be taught and at once. "Why put up with the annoyance of all? a kel Erik." "Mrs. Chichester put up, and annoyance label as she sees." "Some things still need a year, that is the reason." "Wait a minute, better," put in Alaric, "and I'll go with you as far as the station local and out of town heady off. His time is almost due at the end." He was genuinely concerned that his old husband often went out that day to play with little red ball in Irish bath, whom an uncle had hopped down in their bed. At the hall, Mr. Chloe hated to larry that he had wanted to leave her room with his sister. As Mrs. Chloe and Nina loved that they little sister that they the most relentless fate they had for their husband. They felt the family and they in the new and welcome addition. Dog was slow to the bed. Both bath, into the bath, was overlooked. I was thing about the bath, in the bath, my quisite taste. The bath was of white and red bath. I saw few additions to the bath, and rose everywhere. Left to be in their own place. For found to be off-wavelength, how people with a new one of them do so?

But for Whom I were a great one of the whales I could have seen in the world, to see how the world was so strong and his life to the life I was a great. Now I continued to the world. Then I was an end of the world as she did, and to see the end of the home I was a good one of the world. At the end of the world, I found the most. "Mr. I am better off with you were you to have some help without perm I would be fine with you you and Bromell. All I have to do is help you. What would you do if I still need you to help me?

And I swear I will be down the stairs into the same room for the third time. "You only get me into trouble cried, the maid. "No, I won't. I wouldn't get you into trouble for the world. I'd get all the trouble, and I'd get it now! Regain across, opened the door, meeting with the ball and called out. "Aunt! Constine! Aunt! Come here! "They've all gone out," said the maid quickly. "Then what are ye make'n such a fuss about? You go out too." She watched the disappointed Bennett leaves the room and then began a tour of inspection. She had never seen so many strange things outside of a museum. Fleece men in armor glared at her out of massive frames; old gentlemen in powdered wigs smiled pleasantly at her; haughty ladies in breath-breaking colfurres stared superciliously right through her. She felt most uncomfortable in such strange company. On the piano she found a perfectly carved bronze statue of Cupid. She gave a little elfish cry of delight, took the statue in her arms and kissed it. "Cupid! me drillin'! Faith, it's you that causes all the mischief in the wurred, ye devil!" she cried. All her depression vanished. She was like a child again. She sat down at the piano and played the simple refrain and sang in her little girlish tremulous voice one of her father's favorite songs, her eyes on Cupid: "Oh, the days are gone when beauty bright My heart's charm move! When my dream of life, from morn till night Was love, still love: New hope may bloom And days may come Of milder, calmer beam. But there's nothing half so sweet in life As love's young dream! No, there's nothing half so sweet in life As love's young dream." As she let the last bars die away and gave Cupid a little caress and was about to commence the next verse a vivid flash of lightning played around the room, followed almost inimidately by a crash of thunder. Peg cowered down into a deep chair. All the laughter died from her face and the joy in her heart. She made the sign of the cross, knelt down and prayed. Into the room through the window came a young man, his coat collar turned up, rain pouring from his hat. Inside his coat was a terrified looking dog. The man came well into the room, turning down the collar of his coat and stalking the moisture from his clothes when he suddenly saw the knelling figure of Peg. He looked down at her in surprise! She was intent on her prayers. "Hello!" erased the young man. "Frightened, eh?" Peg looked up and saw him staring down at her with a smile on his lips. Inside his coat was her precious little dog, trembling with fear. The terrier barked loudly when he saw his mistress. Peg spring up and clutched Miah away from the stranger just as another blinding flash played around the room, followed by a deafening report. Peg ran across to the door, shouting, "Shut it out! Shut it out!" She stood there trembling, covering her eyes with one hand, with the other she held on to the overjoyed Michael, who was whining with glee at seeing her grin. "The amazed and amused young man closed the windows and the curtains. "Don't come near the dog, sir! Don't come near it!" She opened 6 door and found at 1st into a living reception room. She fastened Michael with a string of to a chair in the room and come back to look grain at the stranger, who had evidently rescued her dog from the storm. He was a tall, brazen, athletic-looking, broad shouldered young man of about twenty-six, with a pleasant, genial, magnetic manner and a playful humor lurking in his eyes. As Dog booked him all over she found that he was smiling down at her. "Does the dog belong to you?" he enquired. "What were you doing, with him?" she asked in reply. "I found him barking at a very high spirit of madness." "Do you care?" Where? "The shuttle doesn't be that where they put Michael?" Once again the buzz of the shuttle vibrated. Perished. The stranger passed for. "Don't be frightened. It's only a summer storm." Summertime or winter, they shrived me up, gripped me. She looked at the young man and in an awestruck vol. "They are of the look at the sky when the light comes you can see the king down of it. At the sight of at knights one and all others accorded to the state of grace while in." "You are of the look and the stranger." "What is it?" said Dog in surprise. Again the sky at the point. Dog shrieked. "With the people just with you" answered the "I'll go" "What do you by that?" asked Peg "An I will be to talk to me the Lord's will be to me "My will be to you "be told.

"Peg," A woman in a uniform note of Saved by God, came in her tone. She reached out and looked at him curiously. When he looked at her head Jerry's mouth turned toward her with a smile distressed. He looked at her. "Jerry, don't worry," Jerry's mouth turned toward her. "Just put your hand on the answer cheerfully. And so she Peg." She looked at her with a quick little smile. "Just point Peg." "I don't agree with you," said the young man. "I think you are very charming." After a pause he went on, "Who are you?" "I'm the aunt's money," replied Peg. looking at himfurtively. Jerry knighted again. "And who is your aunt?" "Mrs. Chistar." "Whom?" Poor Peg tried again at the absurd tongue tying name. "My aunt is Mrs. Chil sister." "Mrs. Chil heater?" asked Jerry in surprise. "That's it," said Peg. "How extraordinary?" "Ignit it? Ye wouldn't expect a fine lady like her to have a piece like me, would you?" "That isn't what I meant," corrected Jerry. "Yes, it is what ye meant. Don't tell untruths with the storm ragin' outside," replied Peg. "I was thinking that I don't remember her Alaric ever telling me that he had such a charming cousin." "Oh, do you know Alaric?" asked Peg, with a quick smile. "And why that laugh?" queried Jerry. "I'd like me father to see Alaric. I'd like him just to see Alaric for one minute. He's such a copedited person." "I admire your delightful accent," replied Jerry. "Accent is it? And, Peg looked at him in astonishment. "Sure, I've no accent. I just speak naturally. It's you have the accent to my way of thinkin'." "Really?" asked the amused Jerry. Peg imitated the young man's well bred, polished tone: "Wah yo bawn theah?" Jerry laughed immoderately. Who was this extraordinary little person? was the one, thought that was in his mind. Peg and Jerry. PEG weal haphazardly around the room examining everything, sitting in various kinds of chairs, on the soft, smelling the flowers, and wherever she went Jerry followed her at a little distance. "Are you going to stay here?" "Melbie I will and melbie I won't." "Did your aunt send for you?" "No, me uncle - me Uncle Nat." "Nothath-Bikingsnorth" cried Jerry in amazement. Peg nodded. "Sheepin' in his grave, poor man." "Why, then, you're Miss Margaret O'Connell?" "I am. How did you know that?" "I was with your uncle when he died." "Were ye?" "He told me all about you." "Did he? Well. I wish the poor man 'd he lived. And I wish he'd thought of us swear-he with all his money an me father with none gh me his sister's only child?" "What does your father do?" Peg took a deep breath and answered eagerly. She was on the one pub. THE WEEKLY NEWS "I don't often cry," she said. Just about when she could talk freely—all she needed was a good listener. This strange man, unlike her aunt, seemed to be the very person to talk to on the one really vital subject to Peg. She said breathlessly. "Sure me if there can do anything at all except make money. An' when he does make it he can't keep it. He doesn't like it enough. Anything don't. We've never had very much to like, but we've seen others motured with plenty, and, if truth, we've been the happiest that we have." She only stopped to take breath before on she went ash. "There have been times when we've been most strayed, but me father never lost his punk of his spirits. Nayher did I. When times have been the hardest I've never heard a word of complaint from me father nor seen a frown on his face. 'No! I'm sick for the sight of him. An' I'm sure he is for me for his 'tug of My Heart,' as he always calls me." She recovered her eyes as the tears trickled down through her fingers. "Don't do that!" he said softly as he felt the noisy start into his own eyes. "I don't admit cry," she said. "My father never made me do it. I never saw him cry but two in his life once when we met. Little money an' we had a new sold for my mother's soul an' we had the most beautiful cannon on too God's sailer. He cryed them, he did. An' when I left him to come here on the ship an' then only at the last admit." In a moment she went on again: "I cried myself to sleep that night. I did. An' many a night, too, on that utenner. "An' I wish I hadn't come—that I do. He's missin' me every minute—an' I'm missin' him. An' I'm not gain' to be happy here anyther. "I don't want to be a body. An' they won't make me one bytter. If I can help it. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear' that what's my father always said. An' that's what I am. I'm a sow's ear." "I'm afraid I cannot agree with you." She looked up at him and said in differently: "That's what I am. I'm a sow's car." "When the strangeness wears off you'll be very happy. You're among friends." Peg shook her head and said bitterly: "No, I'm not. They may be relations, but they're not me friends." He turned to Peg and said: "When they really get to know you, Miss O'Connell, they will be just as proud of you as your father—as I would be." Peg looked at him in whimsey astonishment: "You'd be? Why should you be proud of me?" "I'd be more than proud if you'd look on me as your friend." "A friend is it?" cried Peg warily. "Sure I don't know who you are at all." and she drew away from him. She was on her guard. Peg made few friends. Why this man calling himself by the outtastish name of Jerry should walk in out of nowhere and offer her his friendship and expect her to jump at it puzzled her. Who was he? "Who are ye at all?" she asked. "No one in particular," answered Jerry between gumps. "I can see that," said Peg candidly. "I mean what do ye do?" "Everything a little and nothing really well," Jerry replied. "I was a soldier for awhile; then I took a aptaab at doctoring, read law, civil engineered in South America for a year; now I'm farming." "Farming!" asked Peg incredulously. "Yes. I'm a farmer." Peg laughed as she looked at the well cut clothes, the languid manner and easy pulse. "It must be mighty hard on the hand and cattle to have you farm in them," she said. "It is," and he, too, mingled again. She started up the staircase leading to the mawve room. Jerry called after her anxiously: "No, no, Miss O'Connell! Don't go like that." "I must," said Peg from the top of the skirts. "What will I get here but to be laughed at an jeered at by a lot of people that are not fit to even look at me father? Who are they, I'd like to know, that I shouldn't speak his name in their presence?" Suddenly she raked her hand above her head, and in the manner and tone of a public speaker she astounded Jerry with the following outloud: "An' that's what the Irish are doin' all over the wurld. They're driven out of their own country by the English an' become wanderingers on the face of the earth, an' nothin' they ever earn 'lil make up to them for the separation from their homes an' their loved ones." She finished the peroration on a high note and with a forced manner such as she had frequently heard on the platform. She smiled at the astonished Jerry and asked him: "Do ye know what that is?" "I haven't the least idea," he an awered truthfully. "That's out of one of me father's speeches. He father, makes grand speeches. He makes them in the cause of Ireland." "Oh, really! In the cause of Ireland, oh?" said Jerry. "Yes. He's been strugglef' all his life to make Ireland free, to get her home rule, ye know. But the English are so ignorant. They think they know more than me father. If they'd do what my father tells them sure there'd be no more trouble in Ireland at all." "Really?" said Jerry quite interest edly. "Not a bit of trouble. I wish my father was here to explain it to you. He could tell ye the whole thing in a couple of hours. I wish he were here now just to give you an example of what fine speakin' really is. Do you like speech?" "Very much - sometimes," replied Jerry guardedly. "Me father is wonderful on a plat form with a lot of people in front of him. He's wondrousful. I've seen him take two or three hundred people who didn't know they had a grievance in the wurlid the poor cultures—the were just contented to go on 'boin' ground down on 'tramped on' an' they not known' a thing about it—I've seen me father take' that crowd an' in five minutes affter he had started spakin' to them ye wouldn't know they were the same people. They were all shoutin' in at once, an' they had murther in their eye, an' it was blood they were affter. They wanted' to reform some thin'—they weren't sure what—but they wanted to do it, an' at the cost of life. Me father could have led them anywhere. It's a wonderful power he was. Do ye jee heein' about me father?" she asked Jerry suddenly, in case she was 'tiring him Jerry hastened to assure her that he was really most interested. "Well, so long as yer not tired I'll tell ye some more. Ye know I went all through Ireland when I was a child with me father in a cart. An' the poole an' the constabulary used to follow us about. They were very frightened of me father, they were. They were grand days for me. You're English, mobbe?" she asked him suddenly. "I am," said Jerry. He almost felt inclined to apologize. "Well, sure that's not your fault. Ye couldn't help it. No one should hold that against ye. We can't all be born Irish." "I'm glad you look at it so broad mindedly," said Jerry. She stood restlessly a moment, her hands beating each other alternately. "I get so lonely for me father," she said. Suddenly, with a tone of definite resolve in her voice, she started to the stairs, calling over her shoulder: Jerry followed her, pleading insistently: "Walt! Please wait!" She stopped and looked at him: "Give us one month's trial—one month!" he urged. "It will be very little out of your life, an' I promise you your father will not suffer through it except in losing you for that one little month. Will you? Just a month?" He spoke so earnestly and seemed so sincerely palmed and so really concerned at her going that she came down a few steps and looked at him irresolutely. "Why do you want me to stay?" she asked him. "Because—because your late uncle was my friend. It was his last wish to do something for you. Will you? Just a month?" She struggled with the desire to go away from all that was so foreign and distasteful to her. Then she looked at Jerry and realized, with something skim to a feeling of pleasure, that he was pleading with her to stay and doing it in such a way as to suggest that it mattered to him. She had to admit to herself that she rather liked the look of him. He seemed honest, even though he were English. After all, to run away now would look cowardly. Her father would be ashamed of her. This stuckup family would laugh at her, instantly she made up her mind. She would stay. Turning to Jerry, she said, "All right, then. I'll stay—a month." ```markdown ``` sail not any more than a month. though." "Not unless you wish it." "I won't wish it—I promise ye that." One month you'll be enough in this house. "I am glad you come going to stay." "I am glad you're going to stay" "Well, that's a comfort, anyway. Some one 'll be pleased at my stayin.' DOOR slammed loudly in the distance as Peg talked to Jerry Peg distinctly heard hen nen's voice and Algarica. In a moment she became panic stricken. She made one bound for the top stairs and sprang up them three at a time. At the top she turned and warned him: "Don't tell any one ye saw me." "I won't," promised the astonished young man. But their secret was to be short lived. As Peg turned Ethel appeared at the top of the stairs, and as she descended staring at Peg, the unfortunate girl THE FIRST WEDDING OF THE MARRIAGE OF THE MARRIED WOMAN AND THE MARRIED MAN. A Door Glammed Loudly in the Distance as Peg Talked to Jerry. went down backward before her. At the same moment Mrs. Chichester and Alarie came in through the door. They all greeted Jerry warmly. Mrs. Chichester was particularly gracious. "So sorry we were out. You will stay to lunch?" "It is what I came for," replied Jerry heartily. He slipped his arm through Alarie's and led him up to the windows. "Why. Al, your cousin is adorable!" he said enthusiastically. "What?" Alarie gasped, in horror. "You've met her?" "Indeed I have. And we had the most delightful time together. I want to see a great deal of her while she's here." "You're joking?" remarked Alarie cautiously. "Not at all. She has the frank, honest grip on life that I like better than anything in mankind or womankind. She has made me a convert to home rule already." The luncheon gong sounded in the distance. Alaric hurried to the door. "Come along, every one! Lunch!" "Thank goodness!" cried Jerry. joining him. "I'm starving." Peg came quietly from behind the newel post, where she had been practically hidden, and went straight to Jerry and, smiling up at him, her eyes dancing with amusement, said: "So am I starvin' too. I've not had a bite since 6." "Allow me," and Jerry offered her his arm. Mrs. Chichester quickly interposed. "My niece is tired after her journey. She will lunch in her room." "Oh, but I'm not a bit tired," excused Peg anxiously. "I'm not tired at all, an' I'd much rather have lunch down here with Mr. Jerry." Mrs. Chichester ejaculated, "What? Alaric, almost struck dumb, fell back upon "Well, I mean to say!" "And you shall go in with Mr. Jerry," said that young gentleman, slipping Peg's arm through his own. Turning to Mrs. Chichester, he asked her: "With your permission we will lead the way. Come, Peg," and he led her to the door and opened k. Peg looked up at him, a rogish light dancing in her big, expressive eyes. "Thanks. I'm not so sure about that wager of yours. I think ye life is mine. I want to tell ye ye've saved mine." She put one hand gently on her little stomach and cried, "I am so hungry you soul in hangin' by a thread." Laughing gaily the two new found friends went in search of the dining room. "Disgraceful!" ventured Ethel. "This must be taken in hand at once!" came in first times from Mrs. Chichester. "This must never be left alone again. Cunnia quickly before she can diagnose us any further today." The days that followed were never to be forgotten once for Pug. Her native was in continual revolt. The possibility of her whole life she was Would to correct Everything she said, everything she looked, everything she did was wrong. Tutors were engaged to prepare her for the position she might one day enjoy through her dead uncle's will. They did not remain long. She showed either marked incapacity to acquire the alights venero of culture—else it was pure wilfulness. The only gleams of relief she had were on the occasions when Jerry visited the family. When ever they could avoid Mrs. Chichester's watchful eyes they would chat and laugh and play like children. Her letters to her father were at first very bitter regarding her treatment by the family. Indeed, so resentful did they become that her father wrote to her in reply urging her, if she was so unhappy, to at once return to him on the next steamer. The month she had promised to stay was drawing to an end. But one more day remained. It was to be a memorable one for Peg. Jerry had endeavored at various times to encourage her to study. One day he gave her a large, handsomely bound volume and asked her to read it at odd times and he would examine her in it when she had mastered its contents. She opened it wonderingly and found it to be "Love Stories of the World." It became Pegs treasure. She kept it hidden from every one in the house. She made a cover for it out of a piece of cloth, so that no one could see the ornate binding. She would read it at night in her room, by day out in the fields or by the sea. The book was a revelation to her. It gave all her imagination full play. Through its pages treated a stately procession of kings and queens—Wagnerian heroes and heroines, 'Shakespearean creations, melodious in verse, and countless others. All through the month Christian Brent was a frequent visitor. If Peg only despoiled the Chichester she positively loathed Brent. Peg was waiting for a really good chance to find out Mr. Brent's real character. The opportunity came. On the night of the last day of the trial month Ieg was lying face downward on a sofa reading her treasure when she became conscious of some one being in the room watching her. She started up in a panic, instinctively hiding the book behind her. She found Brent staring down at her in open admiration. Something in the intentness of his gaze caused her to spring to her feet. "The book must be absorbing What is it?" he asked. Peg faced him, the book clasped in both of her hands behind her back, her eyes flashing and her heart throbbing. "You mustn't be angry, child. What is it, oh? Something forbidden?" and he leered knowingly at her. Then he made a quick anat at the book, saying, "Show it me!" Peg ran across the room and, turning up a corner of the carpet, put the book under it, turned back the carpet, put her foot determinedly on it and turned again to face her tormentor. Brent went rapidly across to her. The instinct of the chase was quick in his blood. "A hiding place, oh? Now you make me really curious. Let me see." He again made a movement toward the hidden book. Peg climbed both of her hands into little flasks and glared at Brent, while her breath came in quick, sharp gasps. "I love spirit!" brent Then he looked at her charming dress, at her stylish culture, at the simple spray of flowers at her breast. He gave an exclamation of pleasure. "What a wonderful change in a month. You most certainly would not be sent to the kitchen now. Do you know you have grown into a most attractive young lady? You are really delightful angry. And you are angry, aren't you? And with me, eh? I'm no sorry if I've offended you. Let us kiss and be friends." He tried to take her in his arms. Peg gave him a re sounding box on the ear. The door opened, and Ethel came into the room. Peg hurried out through the windows. Brent turned to Ethel. "My dear." Ethel looked coldly at him. "What did she run away?" Brent smiled easily and confidently: "I'd surprised one of her secrets, and she flew into a temper. "Secret?" was all Ethel said. "Yes. See." He walked across to the corner and turned back the carpet and, kneeling down, searched for the book, found it and held it up trum- phantly. "Here!" He stood up and open- ed the book and read the title page: "Love Stories of the World." "To Peg from Jerry," Oho! cried Mr. Brent. "Jerry! Eh? No wonder she didn't want me to see it. Jerry! So that's how the land lies! Romantic little child." Ethel looked steadily at him. "Why don't you go after her?" and she nodded in the direction Dog had gone. "Ethel" he cried, aghast. "She is new and has all the virtues." "I assure you"—he began. "Really— Ethel" "Were you carried away' again?" also sneered. "Surely you're not jealous-of a—a- child?" "No. I don't think it's jealousy." said Ethel slowly. "Then what is it?" "Digust!" She shrugged her shoul dore contemptuously. "Now I under- stand why the scullery is sometimes the rival of the drawing room. The love of change!" He turned to her. "There! It's all over! I suppose I have been a little hand on you." She held out her hand. "My nerves have been rather severely tried this past month." Ethiel went on.

Washington, President, did not meet in Boston recently. We have received, "The Problem," a military novel by F. GRANT GILMORE, of New York. It is a story of Hezekiah Williams, who being born in Selma, Aia, married Susan Mabry, the maid of Col. Mabry's oldest daughter. Col. Fairfax of Richmond, Va. brought Hezekiah to Richmond, Va. and placed him in charge of his farm. The story is one of great interest and the author has shown rare skill and surprising familiarity with the scenes and locality. The work is well worth the price.

WHITE, MEN AND COLORDY WOMEN. their arrest were made about most might in a real spice 1013 North Fifth fourth Street by Pollenman Campolona and Globley of the "parity signal" All were entered at the First Police Station and held for their appearance in Police Court 1. L. C. Hunt keeper of the store on the first floor of the building, was arrested on charges of hiding property of a disorderly house. Two couples were arrested on charge of immoral conduct, and two women were taken on charge of being inmates of a disorderly house. The men, both white, gave their names to the police as J. S. Diefner and Spencer Hughes, and the women, all colored, as Rosa Sloed, Marten Perkins, Alberta Ricks and Pearl Johnson. This is "a condition and not a theory that confronts us." As the colored women were himates of the house, it is logical to suppose that the two white men sought the embraces of the two Negro women. That they were happy in their company is also evident from the fact that it took two politemen to separate them. It looks to us like a case of white men after Negro women rather than Negro women after white men. Here is your problem. Let the right thinking people place the blame. What will be done about it? If colored men had been found in a similar relation ship with dissolute white women, a continuing howl would have gone up from one section of this State to the other. Colored, people insist that white men associate with white women and colored men with colored women. White people said that they preferred this arrangement and colored people are saying the same thing. BURNED AT THE STAKE. The spirit of lawlessness now sweeping over the country is alarming all good citizens everywhere regardless of race or color, politics or religion. The fact that Lee Panxian, a prisoner was relentlessly assaulted in a penal insti- tution in Georgia and then taken from the same penal institution where he was under the protection of the State, and lynched by body of white citizens, emphasized the denoralization of legal agencies to punish the criminals or to protect those who were being punished. Texas now comes to the front, or rather goes to the rear again. Joel Rivermann, a colored man was wounded in a fight with a sheriff's posse near Sulphur Springs, Texas. The compassion of a southern sheriff's posse is too well known to the public. The mob borrowed a clue of responsibility and legitimacy to his city.

This was done in the presence of the Federal court and the police that armed and unarmed men were beffected. We have a latent interest in the work of the law and order but the interest is awed by the materiality of the problems of allied projects. It is therefore rather than for us to work in the face of imperial pressure. A view on the determined behavior of the law and order is essential to this framework. We are not interested in the details that the law and order are concerned with. THOY, N Y TEMS. Mr. Edith W. on daughter of Mr. Maria W.

Another match for the name of Philippe Stevens was taken from the hospital to another on the tail, near by the County House, where he can get more time to hear. His chances of getting better are against him. We are in to the County House, July 29, to see old Sister Charlotte. She is an ample christening baby, so we can be a precious light to all attend her.

During the last three weeks, we have witnessed one of the greatest revivals at the First Baptist Church, that has ever been known at any time during the fifty years history of the church. The name of the Holy Spirit fell from God's eternal altar upon the table of hearts of men, women and children, and his presence was realized throughout the meeting as never before. Men, women and children came to the light of the Gospel in large numbers. Throughout the vicinity they are telling the story of the cross and rejoicing in the God of their salvation. The pastor, Rev. H. M. Chapman, was ably assisted by some of the most noted divines of the denomination. In person of Rev. N. B. Brown, Rev. J. C. Brown and Rev. W. R. Skipwith, the International Preacher and singer.

(By Margaret Merclith.) Would it not be a very interesting thing for you colored persons to find out to what African races you be long? It seems that slavers secured their conquered or kidnapped carcro from all parts of the coast, and Africa is an immense continent, with, until lately little intercourse, and therefort little interchange, between its races. These races came, we are told from many different stocks. I knew a woman myself, since a slave, who was a pure blood Malay, brought over of course, from the East Coast, where small Malay boats carried on a trade. She was distinctly yellow not black nor white. Some few of you have grand'parents' and many have aged friends who know a little something in the respects of their ancestors' past. If these little can be recorded and finally gathered together they may make an understandable pedigree or history of many a one of you. To me it sounds exceedingly interesting. Photographs might go far in hint or even proof, of your ancestors' several races in Africa. When I was a child, my geography had a group of Negro faces, defining the nations of different parts of Africa, and I could easily place there all around me on individual Negroes. As an assistance in any such investigation, the Congressional Library, Washington D. C., probably has a department eager for facts, giving light on the Negro subject. It used to have. Anyone can engage in this inquiry now, before all the old Negroes pass out of the world, ask them what they heard from their parents and grand parents of the old home in Africa, the length of the voyage to this country and, all enlightening tintest facts. If you are a schoolteacher engage your scholars, exhaustively in these questionings, and by compositions or recorded quizel conservo all data that you obtain.

Apply EDWARD P SCHWARTZ, 754 18th St., N. W. Washington, D. C. REV. L. C. SCOTT AND HIS WORK IN LYNCHBURG THE TABERNACLE MEETINGS. Being a Report of a Personal Interview. By Frank H. Hamilton. "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me." "Hello, Rev, Scott how are you?" "Fine, I thank you, have a seat." And he was fine. He is fine all the time. With these simple but vigorous words, Rev, Scott, seated behind a flat top desk in big shirt sleeves, hard at work and digging deep in the mysteries of the Word, greeted me ordinarily those are not vigorous words, but every word this man utter is vigorous. He is vigorous in action, vigorous in thought and vigorous in the expression of it." "Say, Rev, Scott, what prompted the id of the Tabernacle, anyhow." I asked, "The Holy Spirit," he promptly responded in a voice that sounded like the lowest note of a big hollow. "Why did you start such a movement?" was my next question, and the reply was typical of the man and gives you an insight to his fearless attitude. "To give God a hearing," he said, "God ain't had a hearing in Lynchburg for forty years." Whether he is right I will not discuss, but on a thing is certain. God ain't had any bigger hearing at one time as was the case with the midsummer meetings of the Tabernacle for a long time. Mr. Scott believes in the "Widness of God's Mercy" and in the bigness of His religion, as is evidenced by the scale on which he operates. He is a big man, physically and mentally. He has a big head and ideas to sit it, and he knows how to execute these ideas. He does things in a big way. He is a big minister and a big enemy to slim. The retail grocery is very necessary in our economy. sale of things but what would we do without the wholesaler? Scott is a wholesaler. He does not believe in parceling out God's word in the present packages. He is a wholesale distributor of the Holy Spirit. Just consider the size of the Tabernacle proposition for a while. I estimate below Rev. Scott's own words which are descriptive enough as to detail: "After appealing to the ministry for assistance and they copied not agree, I decided then with the assistance of the Lord, I would open the doors and give God a hearing in the City of Lynchburg. I prepared the building at a cost of three hundred and fifty dollars, with not the assistance of one cent to pay for the same, and with no hope of attendance except by the words of Christ. 'If I be lifted up, I shall draw all men unto Me.' With such assurance and faith I launched out into the deep and let down my gospel net, with the result that THREE HUNDRED AND TEN SOULS gave themselves to Christ and decided to work for the advancement of His Kingdom. In this whole number there were only TWENTY children. Two hundred and ten joined Mr. Carmel Baptist Church the remainder going to the various churches of the city. At no time after the third night of the meeting could the building, with soating capacity of fourteen hundred accommodate the attendants. 'If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto Me.' Talking about big ideas being carried out in a big way, does this not justify the faith of this man of God. Why? I ask, all this multitude. If you ever attended any of the meetings at the Tabernacle you would have your answer. The manner in which they were conducted had as much to do with the success of the meetings as the righteousness of the cause. From six-thirty b'clock in the afternoon until ten crowds were streaming Tabernacleward. You had to get there before dark to get any kind of a seat. With no falling weather the grounds above the building were black with an enthusiastic throng, unable to get on the inside, endeavoring to catch a word from the windows—not a curious crowd, mind you, ENTHUSIASTIC, that the word. The minute your foot touches the carpet of pine shavings you feel the bigness of the movement and there comes a something over you, almost of awe. Listen to the singing—fifteen hundred voices, led by a little man with a big "queel" and a big heart, Prof. H. A. M. John, the choriater, carries you melodiously to a Throne of Grace, feeling like you are the worst sinner in all the world. A sign as you enter "All Sinner and Backsliders Take Front Scats," almost gets your "koat" and you wonder which you are. It was not put up in jeal, but to serve a great big purpose, and it did. Rev. Scott's activities began in Lynchburg, with a small church containing four factions. "I have succeeded" he said, "by proaching the Gospel, not taking sides with either party, in bringing them together in a spirit of unity within three months' time." A church with only two antagonistic spirits is enough to discourage an ordinary man, but when you get four distinct factions in one congregation and all four factions together not large enough to make one church you have indicted a big job and it calls for a big natural born pacifier and leader to handle it. Continuing Rev. Scott has this to say: "I found the church under an eight hundred dollar mortgage and with floating debts amounting to about three hundred. The church has been repaired two times. The first time at a cost of $790 which was done at my own expense. The second repair cost $2,000 including fixtures. Altogether the repair bill for the seven years of my pastorate has been $3,585. I started with a salary of forty dollars per month and forty two members. My present salary is seventy five dollars and the membership 710. I have baptized 510 converts and received by grace, experience and letter to August 1st: two hundred. Talk about work, but this is work—big work." At this point Rev Scott assumed a calculating attitude and resumed his discussion as follows with the facts and figures from notes: "We had with us four of the best divines in the Negro race." First, Rev J. H. Johnson, D. D., of Elizabeth City, N. C., who rendered excellent service. Second, we had Rev R. B. Half, D. D., of Columbia, S. C., who also rendered splendid service. Third, we had Rev. D. C. Caves, of Albiona, Pa., who also rendered excellent service. Fourth, we had Rev. O. S. Simms, D. D., of Rodman Street Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., who also gave splendid service. During the entire meeting we raised $569.82. We gave Rev. J. H. Johnson for his services, fifty dollars and railroad fare. To Rev. R. B. Hall we gave one hundred dollars, Rev. D. C. Cave, twenty-five dollars and Rev. Simms seventy dollars. The remainder of the money went for the reward of the "Tabernacle." Which all goes to show that Rev. Scott is a broad souled body, looking for the advancement of the Kingdom of God first and to help his fellow man second. Himself he leaves to the last. In the closing few minutes I was with him he justified his cause in these words: "We can truthfully say that the city of Lynchburg was stirred as never in its history and on the night of the closing service over fourteen hundred people voted by a standing vote for the Tabernacle services not to close. We returned to our church on August the 8th, but we only have morning services at Mt. Carmel Church until October, the night services being held in the Tabernacle until the beginning of our next revival the first of October." Row. Scott has now accepted an invitation to conduct a twenty days' campaign against corruption at Rustburg, Va. and when he calls his forces together in the County School Hall with seating capacity or one thousand people there will be trouble in the camp of His Sainte Majesty. The Norfolk & Western Railway ran a special train to the opening service from Lynchburg on the 15th of August. --- THE FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION, GRAND UNITED ORDER OF ST. LUKE.

Among those were Mr. Charles Cypress, Norfolk, Mrs. Hannah Frey, Baltimore, Dr. J. T. Lattimore, Phoebus and James Richardson, G. D., of Hampton, Va. THE SOUTHERN SR SERVES THE SOUTH SOUTHERN RAILWAY NEW TRADE MARK The Southern Railway Company has adopted a new and attractive trade mark as shown above. The design "SR" is symbolical to the name of the road and the wording The Southern Serves the South" is suggestive of the many lines operated by the Southern Railway throughout all of the states of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi rivers. There is hardly a city or town of importance throughout the entire South that is not connected with the balance of the South either directly by the Southern Railway's own trains or by sleeping car, lines over other roads in connection with Southern Railway, via some adjacent junction point. On this account the title 'The Southern Serves the South' was adopted as being appropriate. Southern Railway spends about $200,000 a year in advertising and a great deal of this advertising is done in the northern, eastern and western sections of the country, so as to attract people into the South, and on all of this advertising matter this trade mark will appear here after. SATURDAY.....BEPT. 4. 1915 DR. LEWIS REPLIES (Continued from 1st Page.) a hardship to those who desired to do business in a businesslike manner. But it turned out that the management of the school was unwilling to render account, or keep the books as per agreement and offered as an excuse for the fact that the whole population wanted to control Virginia Seminary. But in fact the Society only wanted us to keep our agreement with them since we had sought their aid and they both had given and lent us their money on the condition that we would act in good faith with them. Dr. Woods ought to know that an obligation unkind makes men servants, who ought to be masters. When the Society jacked us up to our agreement, the Convention, led by Hayes, began to cry, "We believe in manhood rights, that we are opposed to the white people controlling our schools, etc." Of course it was wrong, this kind of how man and cry than it would justify why the agreement between the school and the Society was not carried out. The more bitter of two partners in a firm at the time of their dissolution as a rule is generally the one that has been the most inconsistent in his dealings. SUPERIOR MINDS AND TRAINING But the men of the General Association having superior minds and training, and having learned to do business in a businesslike manner of forced no objection to an enforcement of the rules agreed upon by both the Convention and the Society. Therefore we could not stand for the actions of Prof. G. W. Hayes and his followers. As we have shown the Virginia Baptist leaders, the men of the General Association had been working with the Home Mission Society for thirty-two years with no friction, receiving from the Society a "square deal" and giving the same, standing in high repute for our honest business methods, high intelligence truthfulness and Christian manhood, the men of the General Association would not do the debating of trying to repudiate the debt which was due the society for money loaned on that institution as the Hayes faction attempted to do, but was folled by the leaders of the Society. NO REBUTTAL OFFERED As to the Society's efforts to bride Mr. Humbles as a means of getting control of the school, I shall offer no rebuffal, as this information is entirely new to me, but I will say that the Society held a second mortgage on the school and to secure it. It was necessary to buy the first mortgage which was held by Mr. Humbles. This is very frequently done in our city, and is counted to be legitimate business, but Dr. Woods considers this an effort to bride. But no business man would think so. The Society simply exercised horse sense and secured its loan on the school or made an effort to do so by offering to pay Mr. Humbles his money to amount of the first mortgage, which was held by the Society. The second proposal, acceptable to all participants, hence the matter of the school and the Society was settled. Whore does the bride come in? Nether Mr. Humbles nor the Society were moved by charity in this matter, but business strictly. Again, I think Dr. Woods wilfully mistakes the fact when he says that the Society wanted a white president and matron of Virginia Seminary and that I was a party to the wish. This is an output of a disordered brain, the emulsion of a putrid heart, and for want of a butter name, let us call it a creation of fancy. Not a word of it is true. It is simply pulling wool to stop the cracks in the wounded bear. IN A TIGITE PLACE. The General Association men elected the president and the teachers of that institution, including Prof Hayes and his helpers and had we desired to have white people there. Prof. Hayes could never have landed. But this is not worth rebutting. It is simply manufactured for the purpose of getting by. It is such a stroke as Dr. Woods' brethren, Vardaman, Tilman and Glass usually make when before they get in a tight place for work. When the coming to work for Woods, we hire Virginia Seminary with a simon pure Negro trustee board and president. We never desired otherwise. When we remember that the Home Mission Society at the time that Virginia Seminary was born, was conducting schools in well nigh all the southern states for our people and doing a mammoth missionary work among us; lending money to hundreds of poor churches, the allegation of Dr. Woods that the Home Mission Society was exceedingly anxious to own and control such a little debt-ridden school like Virginia Seminary seems nothing other than a city which would could it to a Society which was able to build schools like Virginia Union University, Shaw University, Atlanta College—schools in comparison to which Virginia Seminary is like the sparrow to the eagle; the snailow to the whale or the lightning bug to the sun. MALIGNING THE HOME MISSION SOCIETY demanded for wanting his own! This is the only ground upon which you malign, traduce and misrepresent the Home Mission Society. This is, not, however, a strange feeling, on the part of many people who are not under the influence of christian ethics and religion. Fow men want to pay their debts. Therefore, to lend mon money is to make them your enemy. You blame you, Dr. Woods, for your rash behavior, people. You are, simply throwing the rocks that are being handed you as a condition of holding your job. While admitting that that the Society has done a great good among our people in the educational advancement, he affirms that "it has done great deal of harm." In that it has trained its men to fight and down the Negro enterprises in their respective communities." Let us see if there is a word of truth in this woody statement. Dr. W. F. Graham of the Negro School He is the founder of the the Beneficial Ins. Co. of Virginia; Book T. Washington is a product of our schools. We need not speak of his work. I am a creature of the Home Mission schools; I am the founder and the first president of the great Southern Ald Society of Virginia. I am a director of the great St. Luke Fraternal and Benedict Society. I am the president of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. Should I multiply retututions to this foolish declaration of Dr. Woods? What Negro enterprise has Dr. Woods launched? We built the core in which he now serenely sits. ALL PRODUCTS OF SOCIETY'S SCHOOLS. The fact is that well nigh every leading Negro in the country, including Dr. Harvey Johnson, Fox and Graham, are products either of the Home Mission Schools or some other schools founded and supported by the white people, and Dr. Woods is as ignorant as a beetle or as blinding as a kitten two days old if he does not realize this fact. Therefore the adverse criticism which a youngster like Dr. Woods makes upon the great loss that this great Society is not compelling him. He is wiser than all his teachers. He is intoxicated with self-concept. Who believes that Dr. Woods tells the truth when he says that men of the Home Mission School fight every racial enterprise that may spring up in their respective communities? It does seem to me that the product of a Negro school ought to have more sense than to make such a warranted statement before an intelligent public. He does not know that most of the lawyers and doctors of our state and country laid the foundation of their education in Home Mission Schools. Gee, What would a quarter of the Woods people think that Little Virginia Seminary is equal to Vale Howard, Princeton, or Virginia Union University and that he is the president, so well, little brains are proud of small achievements. MUST RETURN TO THE SURJECT. But what has all this to do with the matter of union between the Baptist of Virginia? Let us leave the "Woods" and come back to the road. These old issues that we have been discussing are dead. Most of the men who raised them sleep in the woods. We pray to their hushes and rest to their souls. "We have no desire to cast a shadow over their lives or tarnish their memories. They have finished their work and reported to God. So let us grant that the Home Mission Society made a mistake and that Prof. Hayes and his followers made a mistake—these are dead issues unto us and work together for the educational uplift of our state and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom in the world." If not, why not? In answer to this question I have set up the claim that we can unite because we all believe in receiving help from the white people in our educational and missionary work; because we all believe in owing and controlling our schools as evidenced by the nine Negro schools established and controlled by us here in the State Convention and the General Association working together in our local bodies such as ministers conferences, councils and district associations, because the National Baptist Convention, of which we are all members stands committed to the principles of cooperation or in other words, is receiving aid from the Southern Baptist Convention in building a Negro school at Memphis, Tenn.; because the Negro Baptist Board, of which we are all members, lived from the beginning to the present by Dr. Frost and others of the white southern Baptist Board, at Nashville, Tenn.; because the white people of the country fought years ago and are now one united people counting it far more important to have union amongst themselves than to stand apart on sentiment and prejudice; because I believe that the general work in the state will be increased by the union; because of George Washington's life and the differences and white for the general good of all concerned as they have done. I can see no just reason why men in Virginia cannot do as much. These are my grounds for unity among the Baptists of the state. WANTS A QUESTION ANSWERED. New let Dr. Woods tell in lang language clear out why we cannot uni- tion. To claim that a union between the two bodies will bring or subject Dr. Woods and his followers to the control of the Home Mission Society is a hoax or a bugbear. The Society has absolutely nothing to do with the General Association of teachers will do work. It is in no way related to our educational institutions: no trustees on the board of our various schools. It has sought to be relieved even from assisting in our Home Mission work: but we will not release them. Then where is the ground for fear entertained by Dr. Woods? He is running from a ghost. Catch him! If the Society is not a nuisance to run our schools as you think. Thine and again we have been informed that even the Union University will be turned out to us easily with its dems or more grande buildings when THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. we are ready to take them and run them by ourselves alone. But who is ready to assume a debt of $45,000 annually for running expenses, besides a floating debt of several thousand dollars? Would Dr. Woods undertake such a job? We have more sense. It is true that the colored people have not complete ownership of the university nor Hartshorn, yet they are truly our schools built for us on the condition that no white boy or girl can attend them, but they must be used for the education of the colored youth solely, which is equivalent to Negro ownership. Yet apart from these we own and control in our right nine other secondary schools, nor are we so looking mammoth responsibility as the running Hartshorn university and the Hartshorn school we own, that we cannot carry them on church collections: dimes, nickels and pennies. But we are doing a distinctive educational work as an association outside of the two above mention-1 schools. We can unite. I repeat, without coming under the control of the white people, whose power Dr. Woods so much fears. A STATEMENT OF HIS POSITION It must be beaten in mind, however, that we stand for the closest union and fellowship possible with all the white people north and south in matters pertaining to our racial welfare in our community work, state concerns, our national interest, in our educational and missionary work and what not; while maintaining all times an attitude ofChristian manhood, of race loyalty, intelligent citizenship and self-respect, and also exhibiting in our dealings with each other and with the opposite race these principles of honesty, forbearance, patience, soberness and good will, which are calculated to conserve peace and prosperity of us all. We do all in that racial narrowness that damns our lives and gauged. Now, if unity among the Baptists of Virginia means that we all must assume an attitude of hostility to the white people north or south; that rendering to them what is dawn them is the sarcifying of manhood rights, as I have been accustomed then the mountains divide us and the seas toll between us and let us remain apart until Kwanzaa after the trumpet sounds. The man or teacher who advocates race prejudice and hostility is an enemy to the race and a foe to himself. It is good to be men of might and better to be men of right. This is the motto of the General Association. This is the sentiment of the Baptist State Convention Dr. Woods has done his best to find an excuse for our socration and failed. Now you just as well come along. Dr. Woods, for you can't get away. We know that lightning bolt shun the electric lights on your street because of inferior service, but we entertain better things for you. Come on, for there is no lion in the way. NO MISSIONARIES OPERATING In the matter of home mission work, I stated that the Convention brothel had done practically nothing, that they had no missionaries on the home field; that their only concern was about Virginia Seminary on this point Dr. Woods taken exception. Now I must ask him for a show down. Tell us, Dr. Woods where we may find your missionaries what are their names, etc." Before your Convention meeting, Dr. Ashburn spent several weeks working in the interest of the meeting, but he has been recalled to Franklin, Va., and will return. Where are those men who are working in the destitute parts of Virginia and who are hired by your Convention. We have four or five of them in field which I know them on. Now, go your way for the time and at another season I will call for you. Yours in fraternal bonds.

I received a letter with a money order in it for twelve, that they were doing great work among the old veterans. A white gentleman in West Virginia sent for three, and yesterday there was another money order from the same person for five. He said the cops had told me these cops, who are always grunting and telling, everybody how bad you feel, send for a cop today. Respectfully, E. B. WEBSTER.

Hele, to the Supreme House of R. and and Seal of the School Correction, S.V.T. Watkins the Supreme Attorney for the student Corporation, and R. E. P. Jackson, the Minor General Utercup Rank of the student Corporation who are the others directing and controlling the authors an founder of the student Correction in the future. It was for the full-time of its Supreme Judge, have with them and I knowingly validated the notice and promotion order until this error is sent and are still following it as follows. Your petmore has not been no-going to be the Singapore Channel, S. W. Green, or do the supposals Att n.c. S. A.T. Watkins, since the remorse of the promoter. Your petmore's Charter rights have been thoroughly being held and all of the petmore resident to the tolerance of the Character have been visited upon your petmore. Your petatone is situated at a Grand Lodge Lodge centrally located from the tower of the Supreme Lodge and at the Supreme Lodge Minute is situated at the tower of the Supreme Lodge. Oh. Supreme Attorney, S. A. T. Watkins has, by written communications sent into this State and addressed to the Grand Chancellor of your petitioner, set up the plea that members of the Order of the defendant Corporation in Virginia and your petitioner are not entitled to the fights and privileges of members of the Order; he has denied, the right of your petitioner to the semi-annual pass word, and in this the Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green, has taken the same position, and the said S. A. T. Watkins and S. W. Green have, in conjunction with E. E. Underwood, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal refused to issue to your petitioner the credential blanks, report blanks and the semi-annual pass word, although repeatedly solicited so to do and despite the fact that admission into the Supreme Lodge could not be obtained without them. They have admitted members of the Order from other states than Virginia, but have persistently and repeatedly declined to permit the admission of members of the Order from the State of Virginia, although your petitioner is entitled to four representatives in the Supreme Lodge, with the right of voice and vote. See Article II, Section 13, and Article VII; Section 1, of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Supreme Lodge. (1). Your petitioner was served with a summons a short time prior to the time for the bi-ennial meeting of, the Supreme Lodge in Columbus, Ohio; on August 17, 1915, citing your petitioner to appear and answer to certain charges set forth in the said petition, which charges are identical with those on which the defendant corporation attempted to expel petitioner and forfeit petitioner's Charter at the bi-ennial session in Baltimore, in August, 1915, your petitioner appeared at Columbus, Ohio, on the 18th of August, 1915, by its duly elected and accredited representative by counsel, and demanded repeatedly the credential blanks, report blanks and pass word necessary, to admit them to the Supreme Lodge; but the same was steadily refused to them and they themselves were denied admission to any session of the said Supreme Lodge, although repeatedly demanding it, and were only allowed to enter the-building where the sessions were being held when the Supreme Lodge was "at ease," with the altar disarranged, the Book of Law closed, and the doors thrown wide open for any outsider to enter, although your petitioner's representatives had demanded admission as such to the sessions of the Supreme Lodge and had tendered their lawful representatives tax of two hundred ($200.00) dollars, which was refused. Your petitioner's representatives remained in Columbus, asking admittance to the Supreme Lodge until the evening of the last day, but were steadily refused admittance. They returned home after serving on the defendant Corporation the following notice: Columbus, Ohio, August 20, 1915. Supreme Lodge, K. of P., N. A., S. A., E., A. & A. Sir S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor. Sir E. E. Underwood, Supreme Keeper of R. & S. Sir S. A. T. Watkins, Supreme Attorney. Gentlemen: You are hereby notified that we have been represented in the City of Columbus, Ohio, by Counsel since August 10th, 1915, Monday, and since Wednesday, August 18th, during which time our Counsel have been denied recognition by your refusal to deliver to them, either in person or by proxy, credential blanks and report blanks on which we could file officially the names of our Supreme Representatives who were elected to represent the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, in the Supreme Lodge, K. of P. and who under our Charter, which has been stored to us by an injunctional order of the Supreme Court of the State of Columbia, and is provided to voice and vote in the Supreme Lodge. You have denied to us also the sentimental pass which pass word is essential in order to obtain the necessary documents from the Supreme Lodge. We claim that information we are entitled to receive, vote and represent, which we pay lawful taxation, until the issue in our Vestiture is resolved and finally upon by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Despite that contention through Counsel, we have made a legal tender of four years' time, payable to two biennial terms and amounting to the sum of two hundred ($200) dollars, which amount to all that the Grand Lodge K of P of Virginia legally owes to the Supreme Lodge, all of which have been no longer paid to the Supreme Lodge. After traveling a distance aggregating more than one thousand miles and representing in Columbus, by Counsel or in person at the period of two days up to the time of winning this convention, that on and after six o'clock P. M. Friday, August 21th, 1975, we have directed our Counsel to break all the laws and laws with you in this matter, and no longer represent the Grand Lodge of Virginia to the Supreme Lodge. Thomas M.

That your petition, although suffering, was made by the demand to it and to the member of the Order in Virginia of the above mentioned rights and privileges, has here before retained from bringing the same to the attention of this Court, because ever since the entry of the said petition under by course providence and personal interest in the case, the petitioner was on the defendant corporation in favor of your petitioner on to believe that they justified to continue your petitioned rights under a fair and reasonable agreement, which your petitioner be heaves and changes were applicable for the purpose of objection and for Y will permit the above to serve and charges that the before contravenant and guilty to constitute a violation and belief in the said intention and that the said W.

To the Richmond Planet, Richmond Va., U. S. A. My dear editor: You will please excuse the host stand I have taken on many occasions to prove what was and is, and ever will be, right; but that is just my object, to defend the right at all costs. My life not an exception, do not mean to hurt anybody if can help it, but I mean to save the poor Negro race from some of this unjust humiliation which is simply used to make them hate themselves and one the other. It may not have been very nice for me to have said that I have played craps. But I am in this world to help it and not to hurt it, and a man who wishes to be authority upon any subject whatever should get as close to his subject as is safe to be and study it from every angle. I have given my life to the study of social elevation, and the relative condition between the two races exaggerated. All the bad is held to the Negroes and all the good is credited to the whites. But I want to prove to you that this is wrong, and the race will ever be killed, enslaved and robbed until they learn the difference between right and wrong, and defend the former against the latter. Then I want to call your very valuable attention to the fact that cards dice and whiskey (or drinks composed of alcohol) are manufactured on a very great scale in all the civilized countries, and a very small percentage of these products are consumed by Negroes. They are manufactured by white folks, for white folks, and they are mostly used by white folks. Thus if I tell you that I have gambled I tell you that I have acted like white folks, and the very reason that more colored folks are not wanted in the white clubs, etc., is because they know that the Negroes have not got the coin to lose. Thus I have learned to play many games and the most money is always in the game run by white folks and when they refer to Negroes as being "crap-shooters" they mean to say that they are cheap gamblers, and many of the Negroes use this phrase to stickle the white man and blind the innocent. Well, I am here to say that the Negro can never be a heavy sport up on one and two dollars per day, while living is so dear as it is now. So when I say many of those things mean to shame the folks who are is noranly hurting themselves and others without due cause. We should resort to higher things and demand an equality in all things social, and then preach goodness to our people. I never had such a loving for money that I learned to gamble, as I never felt good leaving a game with the other man's money in my pocket and this alone is enough to prove that I was never at heart a gambling. But I enjoyed the study of human nature under this excitement as well as learning what men were doing in this great big world, and I am sure that if we had more educated men who had lived closer to the white folks, various conditions we would have a much better leadership among Negroes when they decided to use what they knew for the church and society in general. Thus if you want to hear a good sermon or discourse, listen to an educated reformed gambler, thus you will find among the best students of the world the greatest of all these vices, and it is only when they find it more profitable to practice virtues that they flee from vice. Thus the greatest thieves, drunkards, gamblers and murderers of all the world are white men. They always feel more safe among Negroa than they do among whites for no greater reason. I know too, that to be a great leader among colored people like the fame of Mr. Booker Washington's, one would have to beg or play some other smooth game, or lose all. But we have had enough of that end of it. It costs too much. But Negroes are soldom ready to finance a great cause unless they are the handlers of all the money. They will work hard to earn wages; but to chance in business they are not the folks. Thus the gambler and plunger are mostly the leaders in great enterprises. This comes from the habit of not over estimating cash money. As you well know that the great stock markets and exchanges are like horse trappings; are places or things for gamblers, and if these are the hubs of all great movements, why not undeceive our people, and teach them right. All men of common intelligence know these things, so why should we try to blindfold the poor Negroes? And if we do not wish to teach these things to the Negroes, why no just contend for equal treatment to all, under similar conditions which would be a hint broad enough for any white man of intelligence. There are very few men who suffer more than I do for pure morals, but I have caught society in so many lies that I am inclined to believe that a few more facts about life would do the colored race a world of good, I give any man credit for a good, clean game and wish him success. But what I find a dried up hypocrite trying to fool or sell everybody without doing the least good, why, I just feel like seething right away, and I feel that I own this to society; do you? Thus I feel that I can call myself generally practical, and this is the class of men we should have at the head of our wars, like that of any other progressive people. But should society be to all under similar conditions, I am, Respectfully yours I. R. MOORE. Bahia, Brazil. Bahia, Brazil, June 8, 1915. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr.. I greatly feel the plight of you people in the city of Richmond, as a do for those elsewhere. But it is not so hard for me as it is for you to acknowledge. I have told you in the time of peace that this and worse were coming and I tell you again that God has promised me that I should win in the fight for my people. So if I am not badly deceived, you will have occasions to feel sorry for some of those very people who are now beautifully persuencing the colored people! But I will tell you now that some of the strongest resistance I find coming from the colored people themselves. Even youths stand in the way. They have both prevented and attacked me and it is only by God's grace that I am alive today. But I say to you now, only wait a while longer and pray while you watch the signs of God's anger among those very people who have sworn, that Jesus is dead and God is gone away. My God is the God, or all power, and I have placed every confidence in Him at the mouth of the greedy grave, when they all said that I just had to go. But I told them that when they had finished their professional work I would begin, as I was not expecting to go just at that time. I had not done one tenth of the work for which I was in the world. I can count no less than eight times during my life that he came when I called and each time a mischief work was done. So if I am away down here and trust Him you all should have less trouble to believe when each one can encourage his fellow in holding on a wholly honest. Let us pray more out of pure hearts and the things will come right. ROANOKE (VA.) ITEMS. Roanoke, W. Va., Aug. 21, 1945 Sir W. B.

People so glitched, even if the gap between fifty miles can imagine what the situation was before the coming of the "wire". After its general introduction gaps of hundreds of miles were common. But the greatest gap was between Europe and America. Fifty years ago this time Field was trying to bridge that gap with his cable. Starting from the other end, news of progress was wired back to Ireland, then came to America by steamer. Finally, when the western world was all expectation, messages ceased, and anxiety lasted for weeks. Then news came that the cable had parted in mid-ocean over three weeks before. For another year Europe was ten days away from us. The European war may bear a blessing for the western world in the shape of closer and armer relations between this country, and South American states, notably the more distant, like Brazil, Argentina and Chile. As a rule we have cared little about those countries except to enjoy their trade. This is a time to realize the importance of studying the people themselves, their modes of life and thought in fact, getting neighborly with them on a broader basis than merely barter and sale. Among the innovations brought on by the war is the establishment of a permanent passenger and freight line to bring Europe and America together by way of the Pacific ocean.

Once made southern identity "chivalry" have revealed their true character in murder, secrecy and anarchy. For the same biblical spirit that sought to disrupt this union, the same spirit that lashed and ravished the helpless slave, the same southern spirit that even today is celebrating the blood-lust of the Klu Klux Klan as a virtue, is living in the persecution and murder of Leo Frank. The trial and conviction of this unfortunate Jew, as accomplished by the courts of Georgia, was enough to dam the people of that state as unit for citizenship. The horrible sequel of his assassination proves them to be something worse than barbarism. Americans have gained assurance at the bloody mortality of Serbia. But Serbia is a paradise of civilization compared with the state of Georgia. Southern readers have written that must not confuse the Georgia rabble with the better classes. But where have the "better classes" been during all the warmare of Frank's persecution. If the "better classes" perma- tinal the table to run Georgia's courts, its newspapers and now its penal institutions, they are worse than the rabble a cheap, spineless and desperate social group. If there exist in Georgia any approu- ple number of men and women who have passionately resisted the institution of the most sacred machi- nery of government, the most pre-cious diagrees of humanity, the lo- bly considerations of justice, they have damned themselves far worse than the mobs because they have to tolerate and through toleration, con- And this is not the worst. The worst that the spirit of Georgia is typical of the spirit that provals throughout a large portion or the whole south. Every southern state that tolerates lynch law, shows people reed in the writings of tortured blacks is capable of Georgia monstrous outrage. Every community that burns Negro at the stake or扎黑 them for unjust or petty crimes would act as brazen in the case of blood. How can the nation, the civilized people, and will governing part of it longer tolerate this absurd thesis laid on the part of a society that once defined humanity and government till it had to be broken and bullets. during the first part about the development of the culture of the Middle East. When the state was for the miracle of Cairo and Ethiopia blood in the country, the Neuro or the southern white man. Not one light-colored black in Israel is the result of a Neuro's design on a white woman. The light-colored black with scarcely an exclamation dates his ancestry to the last of some southern white master, who did not hesitate to make the creature he bought and sold as an animal the mother of his children. So much for the southern hypocrisy that prates of mycogenation to justify its crimes. Hundreds of thousands of splendid men and women inhabit the southland, just as they did at the time of the rebellion. Stock that could produce a law has in it much human virtue. But as at the time of the rebellion, so now, these men and women are not determining; they have permitted themselves to be swept along by the current of the majority because of sectional prejudice, reactionary tradition and the recognized danger of opposing hectic public sentiment that thrives nowhere as in the south. But because the south seems helpless to redeem itself is no reason why the bulk of the nation should stand idly by and permit it continuously to disgrace this country in the eyes of the world: least of all, to propagandize its doctrine of race-hatred, anarchy and blood-lust throughout the land by means of living novels and motion pictures. If the crisis of the burning black victims of a hundred southern states have not been able to rouse the conscience of the north, can it remain deaf to the last agonized prayer of Leo Frank as his tortured body was swung by "southern gentlemen" from a southern pine? * If Georgia cannot be scourged from out the slisterhood of states, if she cannot be reduced to a condition of dependence lower than that of the Philippines she can at least be visited with a commercial, social and political antracism which will convince its gentry that true Americans still enthrone justice and humanity as the chief: bulwarks of the nation.—(Milwaukee, Ws.

Blood-lust like that, exhibited in the murder of Leo Frank is nothing new either to Georgia or to Atlanta. The present writer, who has happened to begin that city on Sunday, April 23, 1899, can year wippees to that fact. On that day a Negro, Sam Hoose was burged at the stake in the presence of 2,000 citizens, at Palmetto, about thirty miles from Atlanta. The occasion was made a holiday for the section. Farmers on their way to church heard the news and with wives and children drove to the scene of the lynching. Before applying, the torch to the pyre, the leaders of the party cut off the nose, ears, fingers, and other parts of the unfortunate wretch. When a chain broke and allowed the upper part of his body to wail out from the flames, ready hands pushed it back and frenewed the fastening. A man with a photographic made a record of the lynching. All this will be found described in the press of the day. But it is not the worst. As soon as the drooping head of the victim proclaimed his death, the crowd surged forward and before the body was cool it was literally flayed and hacked into bits by souvenir hunters. Even the homes were crushed for this purpose, and the tree chopped down and sliced to satisfy the craving of the crowd. So much for what the press had to tell. What the writer saw was fully as damning to the character of the people of Atlanta. Scarcely had the word reached the city of the lynching when excursion trains were started on the line which runs to Newton, one and one-half miles from the scene of the tragedy. Thousands of Atlanta citizens and middle-class citizens at that took occasion of the opportunity, returning delightedly with pieces of tenence, wipes of grass and other souvenirs of the mute witnesses of the terrible crime. House was charged with killing a farmer and violating his wife. He had no trial, and no defense. But one voice was raised in his behalf at the Lynching, that of an ex-governor on his way to church. The Atlanta Constitution the city's most influential paper condoned the Lynching. That man of low intelligence, instilled by racial passion and the rage for vengeance, can take the law in their hands against the alleged perpetrator of some hideous crime is understandable. Such an act may argue for a low state of civilization, but it does not necessarily argue for decapitation. But when such men and thousands of civets is not immediately concerned can view the torture of a human being with pleasure, can fight for souriers of his arrogacy, can take excursions to cheat over the scene of the beheaded act, we are no longer dealing with the unreasoning passion of a body but with the cold bloody tactic of aGenerate society. When we saw th' trainloads leave Atlanta that Sunday, when next morning we read the cateer editorial in the Constitution, we felt that this was a community of the middle class not a city of enlightened America. We felt that some day a horror would be populated in the state of Georgia that would ruin the nation and we were right. A people that can feed and fatten on human torture and feed in the treasury of human torture can eat shameless and kill children in government itself. Georgia politically proclaimed from the south in 1817 that it has morally rebelled from the states in 1818. 42 The laws the latter occasioned in the war. But once they can save the state from this predator, the state today, and that, the application and enforcement of each state who had a hand in the establishment of Louis M. Frank, also there men in Georgia comprise an army and patrols enough to defend the King King Khan to deter any rebellion, to defend the heir, and carry through this purpose at all times of their lives. Or is it the only one Station in the state of Georgia?

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE APPLINTEED Later, a committee on conference from the Supreme Leader was appointed. It was composed of S A T Watt, Justice Supreme Attorney, E A W. Williams, East Supreme Counselor, Gena G. Collier, Withee) and M. Smith, E and M. M. Rodder. A meeting was held at the headquarters of the Vatican delegation at 7:00 P.M. At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell, a delegate would state its presentation and objection to the conference until the next day when it would meet again and see whether or not the other would yield or oblige it would stand on what was then decided. SPLATED THE GREELSENT The next morning, Supreme Attorney New York sent word that he did not meet it advisable to have another meeting. In the meantime, the election of officers had taken place the evening before, and the present order of officers were in charge for another two years. Despite this fact the Virginia delegation remained in Columbia, O. until Friday afternoon, August 20, 1935, when they left via B. & O. for Richmond, Va. It was reported that the Supreme Lodge would adjourn Friday night and many delegates left for home. PROPOSITIONS SUBMITTED The proposition submitted by Supreme Attorney Watkins at the conference was that Virginia pay ($1,800) eighteen hundred dollars flat and all back taxes would be cancelled, that it come in under the new constitution adopted at Baltimore and that it give notice of any change that it desired in the new constitution, the same to be voted upon at the next session of the Supreme Lodge, or all back taxes would be cancelled up to the Baltimore session and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. pay the per capita tax up to the present time and take the same procedure relative to the new Constitution, as was provided in the first proposition. A DRASTIC PROVISION. Under the new Constitution the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia is required to surrender its present charter secured from the State of Virginia and which ensures its independence and reincorporate in the name of the Supreme Lodge. This would give the Supreme Lodge legal rights over the thirty thousand dollars worth of assets held by the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia. It may be well to state that the Supreme Lodge does not pay endowment politehes in this State or return to Virginia one penny of the money withdrawn from this grand jurisdiction. SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. All that Virginia would obtain for the ($1,000) eighteen hundred dollars would be the pass word, and the right to mingle and have fraternal intercourse at the Supreme Lodge. It may be well to state that the white Knights of Pythias have come away with the confederal pass word. The pass word is now used by them never changed. OF QUALITY."
