NO. 26 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 76 Fifth avenue, New York, today issued a statement announcing that its charge of pledge and of the brutal treatment of Negroes by white men in the South had received entire confirmation from Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, Governor Dorssey in April 26, published a pamphlet entitled "The Negro in Georgia" in which he gives evidence of 135 instances of "Negroes lynched, Negroes held in pledge, Negroes driven out by organized lawlessness and Negroes subjected to individual acts of cruelty" in the state of Georgia in the past 2 years. "In some counties," Georgia's Governor said, "he Negro is being driven out as though he were a wild beast; in others he is being held a slave; in others no Negroes remain. No effort has been made to collect the cases cited. If such an effort were made, I believe the number could be multiplied. In only two of the 135 cases cited is the usual crime against white women involved." THE N. A. A. C. P. CHARGES On March 29, 1921, the N. A. A. C. P. issued a statement signed by its assistant secretary, Warner F. White charging that the inhumble conditions on the Williams "murder farm" in Jasper County, Georgia where eleven or more Negro peons were murdered, could be duplicated in every Southern state. Peonage was rampant, said the statement, and: "The Mississippi do so to region embracing the States of Arkansas, Louisiana Mississippi Western Tennessee and eastern Texas, is built on this system of debt lavery." GOVERNOR DORSEY'S SUBSTAN TIATION Governor Dorsey tells of a case in which a Georgia sheriff sent to protect Negroes from the mobbim of the Ku Klux Klan exonerated the Khan, and the stintory on which the sheriff wrote slapped he was himself a member of 11 infamous body. He then rolls the following arrocious ories: "County No. 21—Near a small town in this county a Negro was born fifty-eight or sixty years ago. By work he accumulated a little money with which, ten years later, he bought a farm of 140 acres where he lived with his wife and twelve children. Three of 18 daughters were educated. They were school teachers. A three-room house was on the farm. The farm was well stocked, the Negro owing in 1919 outright five mules and having made payments on the purse of a horse, a cow and thirty-five hogs. "During the war with Germany this Negro family bought approximately $1,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps. The Negro headed an organization of Negroes who raised between $10,000 and $11,000 for Liberty bonds. His work was highly praised by newspapers at the time. A white man, who is neither read nor write, owns a farm adjoining the farm of the Negro. When the archestra praising the man for his war work uppeared, the whig man remarked, "—it's getting too damned prosperous and biggy for a bigger." "Trouble began. The white man had his and processeded. The Negro had no representative present. The processioners ran the man's line 25 feet over the Negro's long across a terrace which had been there since the New was a child working for the family from whom he bought the land. The crew given to him opened the land to lift a truss. The Negro man possessed of the terrace, drove spikes along the new line and warned, the Negro out to cross the line. The Negro disregarded the warning, and continued on plough to the terrace as he had been doing since lowland. SHERIFF WOULD RATHER KILL." "Black and white from the country crowd" "He's down Saturday with no nouns. One Saturday in the fall of 1917 the Negro with his three dreadlock and son came to town. The town Marshal appointe the Negro in the street and told him he was warrant for you." The Negro answered: "Why what have I done?" Read your warrant." "The Morning" coiled with an arch that he would rather kill the Negro than read he warrant, there the evidence waded." Negro had a girl in his hair" "Saw him" "the Marshal, who did not succeed, with hed the stile and stun't the Negro in the face with a sort of knocking him down. Others state that the Negro raising his sled back away when the Marshal rushed to and stumbled him to the ground" with his metal Several other white men resisted him and began to show no fear him. "Two of his daughters started to him. A man kicked one girl in the stomach. The other her father and began to wipe the blood from his face. The three were quickly over powered. The third daughter and son were caught. All were locked in jail. The girl who was, kicked was ill at the time. The blow made her death sick. She lay in jail meaning and beging that something be done for her and her father, who was bleeding badly from his wounds. The Sheriff locked them in and left them without medical attention and ignorant of the charge against them. "Next morning the Negro learned that his neighbor had grown out a warrant against him for trespass The Sheriff refused to tell him what the charge was against his son and daughters. The Negro employed a lawyer. Then he found that he and his daughters were charged with reisting an officer in the discharge of his duty. his son with carrying a pistol. Only one witness claimed to have seen the pistol. This was the white neighbor who said he had seen the son put the pistol in the bag, while the crowd was on his father. The bug was searched. The pistol was not found. "Talk of lynching the Negro and his family caused their removal to an enclave county. A committee of elbows waited upon the Judge of the circuit who informed them. it is charged that he would put the Negro on the chain gang when the case should come up for trial. The man, this daughter, and son were tried in the Penny Court. The father was sentenced to serve twenty months in the high court and pay a time of $250. The wife were fined $26 each. The son was fined $100. The Nero paid the fines of his children. "The man's smaller children and his wife were in his home while he was in jail. A mob led by the town Marshal went to the house. Flicked the door and demanded admittance, then shot up the house and went away. This was night. Next morning the woman and her children tled from her home never to return. A friend went by night and removed the live stock belonging to the family and sold it for them at a great sacrifice. Their crop was a total loss. They will be lynched it is said. If any of them ever returned to their home. Reoutable merchants and bankers in this county unite in giving the Negro and his family a good character. The son has been offered a loan of $450 by a leading farmer to pay a note, the holder of which threatened suit during these troubles. A leading merchant gave the father a line of credit from $800 to $1,500 a year. One of the best citizens of the county signed his bond. The education of his children and the success of his shrift seem to be the sole offense of the Negro. --- Case No. 131, a Negro complained in a peonage case. At the trial in Atlanta he appeared as a witness. Fearing to return to the county he went elsewhere to live. The son of his former employer discovered where he was living, obtained a warrant for his arrest, and brought him back. He disappeared. A boy fishing found a skull in the stream. Search was made a body was unearthed. In a police was found a card identifying the course as that of the missing Negro. Case No. 135. (County No. 26.) The Sheriff of this county, with two other men, were in an automobile on the road to the county site. They were drinking. The sheriff asked a 20-year in the road to get him a drink of water. The Negro in weep that he was not at his own home, but that he supposed there would be no objection to getting him a drink of water. The Sheriff left the car and struck the Negro twice with a pistol. The man brought the water. The sheriff made him get in the car carrying 500 words and made him leave the car where he beat him over the head with a pistol and a stick. The blood of Negro was forced into the car and made to lie down. He was carried ten miles, the sheriff kicking him in the body and head. One eye was visually knocked out. Then the sheriff made him set out. He was beaten again on his injured body. "The Sheriff stopped to eat another stick when one of his commissions advised the Negro to run if he wished to live. This he did, hiding in the woods until later a passerby carried him into town. The Sheriff was indicted for an assault with intent to murder. He was acquitted. The Negro began to the reputation of being a peace-loving, lawabiding hard working man. He was "threatened with death if he offended against the Sheriff." THR NEXRO UNEMPLOYED. April 22. While 19.33 per cent of unskilled Negro labor in the country joined the army of unemployed during the last three months of industrial depression, only 2.63 per cent of the skillful labor was thus affected. This is a most interesting deduction from an emergency survey of seized in districts made by the Department of Labor. "This fact," summarizes the report, "is strong evidence of the growing inclusion and retention of colored workers and should act as an encouraging sign to colored labor that gained a toolhold in the skilled group." Disposition to apply themselves to early road construction and repairing and to return to agricultural pursuits has had an effect to reduce in some measures the number of colored unemployed. Reports from Richmond Va., say that a revival of the building industry of that place has reduced the number of involuntary unemployed people among colored workers to practically zero. The Calumet district, of which Chicago is the center, leads in the number of colored unemployed, with an apportionment of 15,000. In Michigan the unemployment of colored is given en as having been decreased by 2,530 In the Pittsburgh district estimates indicate that the average unemployed colored labor is 4,500. On March 31, 1921, in that district, there were 2,000 of these workers "absolute" unimployed." ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD The 100th Anniversary of the First Baptist Church of South Richmond, Va., and the 'First Anniversary of the Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. L. Ramone, was celebrated last Sunday most pump and splender. The committee shared paints in making this one of the grand cut occasions in the history of the church. The costume was beautifully decorated with ballet, ferns and cut flowers and presented a magnificent appearance. The programme for the day was well rendered and all participant-acted well the duties assumed them. Prof. J. H. Blackwell presided at the morning services, Rev. O. D. Daly, reached from the subject: "The Church," Mr. Wun, H. Fox, presided at the afternoon services, Rev. L. C. Garland, D. D., spoke on the subject: "The Offering." Mrs. Addie J. Eckstein presided at the night services, Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph. D., spoke on the subject: "The Pastor." Large groups gathered at each service and much money was raised during the day. At the close of the night services it was acer pined that nearly 4,400 had been raised for the par sonage. Space will not allow us to mention the programme in full or the names of the various committees who worked so zealously for the success of this grand affair. --- THREE MEN KILLED WHEN DRY AGENTS RAID STILL. Raleigh, N. C. April 29. In a three cornered fight late yesterday between a party of revenue officers and guards at a big illicit moonshine whisky still near Pascal, N. C. three unidentified coloured men were killed, according to meager advices received here today. None of the officials were hurt. The officers seized three big distilleries, 25,000 gallons of beer, 150 gallons of whisky and $2,500 worth of material. The plants were operated by the Baldwin brothers, coloured, notorious blockers, the advices stated. BLUE TRIANGLE NOTES On last Thursday night, April 11th, the assembly room of the Y. W. C. A. was converted into most attractive shop in which the work of the Military Tailoring and Cooking class was displayed. The many pretty spring hats made by the members of the class reflected the art and careful work of the accomplished in instructor, Sry. J. Barned Turner. The work done by the tailoring class was indeed creditable with Mr. J. L. Loving, instructor. There were many who doubted that the ladies and wraps were made by the pupils of the class, so perfect was the style and workmanship. A man's suit made by Mr. J. P. Turner attracted very much attention. The work done by Mrs. Minnie P. Mundell's class was admiration and apt petitions of all. At the request of those who wanted to buy, the dishes of artificially and carefully prepared food were soon sold. A flash light picture was made by Thomase and Johnson, photographers of the entire exhibit, which may be seen at the Y. W. C. A. at any time. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, MAY 7, 1921 EXPECT 70 FREE OFFICER OV DRY VIOLATION CHARGE. Section of Law Will Be Base of Argument for Dismissal of Case. Petersburg, April 28. - Conviction of Police Officer I. L. France, who is now held for trivial in the Hustings-Court on the charge of violating the prohibition laws by purchasing whisky from a man he sought to trap, now believed doubtful, when he is brought to trial before Judge J. M. Mullen. The police officer was taken into custody on the whisky charge following his admission on one witness stand against Carey W. Eanes, the man he charged with selling whisky, that he had bought a pint of liquor which he drank partly himself and did not account for it to his superior police officials. The belief of many that France will not be convicted is based upon the section of the State prohibition law which provides that what a person says on the witness stand in an attempt to convict the person he accuses shall not be used against him. Friends of the officer say that if he can not testify against himself, the only other witness is Eanes, who is charged with selling whisky. When Eauis' was arraigned in Police Court, on the warrant sworn on by Officer France charming that Eauis had sold the officer a pint of corn whisky, Oliver A. Palmer counsel for Eauis contended that if France had bought whisky other than with which Eauis was charged with selling, he was guilty of violating the prohibition laws under 'revenant' outlining here. As a result of this and France's admissions that he had bought whisky from France to which he had giv en no account to his superior officers the warrant against him charging him with violating the "tire" laws was sworn out and following his wavings in preliminary examination he is now under $500 bond for his perseverance in the Hustle Court. --- A WONDERFUL EVANGELIST Mt.

It they really have only the welfare of the dark continent at stake, they had better get over there and hastle as missionaries, and teachers. The "Leopard men" live next door a Li- beria. I send you this cutting, from the daily Mail of 12th of April. LEGARD MEN To the Editor of The Daily Mail Sir. The article in The Daily Mail about "Leopard Men" (the cannibal murders of Liberta, who leave no marks of a leopard's claws on the throats of their victims) reminds me that an interesting case came under my notice while I was traveling in that republic. I arrived at a village behind Nana Kru at 1:30 P. M. was hospitably received by the chief (an old white bearded maive.) and made him the usual present of gin and tobacco. At 2 P. M. the whole of the inhabitants of the village seemed to go suddenly mad, and I saw the old chief being led away into the "bush." I acquired the reason of the turmoil and found the second people from the neighbouring villages had during the preceding week been killed by "the leopard," and the old chief referred to had been accused of turning himself into a leopard at night and committing the murders. At 4:30 amid weed clawing his dead body was brought in slung on a stout pole and thrown outside my lint. Everyone myself, excepted, was fully convinced that he was the the guilty party, and strangely enough I heard no noceous eyes of attack by "the leopard" in that district. Many Sierra Leone clerks who have worked for me are convinced that native can actually turn themselves in to leopards and revert to human form at will, but albouch 4.1 we spoken with a native who carried to have His power and offered him 25 pounds if he would prove his claim in my presence in a room, occupied only by our two selves my offer was not accepted. Cannibalism exists in the hinterland of Liberia and cooled human flesh has been offered me as a "delicacy." P. E. NEWMAN. 60 Iron Mill, Cayford, Kent. Now then, Liberia you have the floor. It is your turn! Speak up loud. Brother! You will no doubt deny the cannibalism. Haiti always does when the whale man reiterates his charge of it. So instead of wrangling about the political, economic and commercial status of Africa—We should first redeem her from the condition of wild beasts and savages. ARCHBALD, JOHNSON --- Mrs. Elise Sully was greatly surprised on Tuesday night of last week when a host of friends and relatives gathered at her home on Decatur street.

The game started with, beetle pitchers fighting hard, but this fight only lasted for one innings. Hampton scored the first run in the second, and the slugging began. Every man on each team had a big day's work, as the batters knotted them all over the field. Things were interesting until the fifth innning, when Hampton began to pile up errors' and Union began to pile up a score. This comedy of errors cost Hampton four runs in the sixth, five in the seventh and three in the eighth. Ball pitched a good game until the sixth when Union filled the lanes with no hands out. Robinson went in and Union continued to slug Quigley tried his hand, but still the on-hought continued. The game ended with Union 14 and Hampton 6. The lineup was as follows: Hampton Mann, L.

A CHANGE OF Poutcy, * Wo note with intorom a statement {ssued by the Department of Labor relative “to tho color-line. It is of special intorest at this time and indi. cates an absolute change of policy in dealing with a largo body of Ameri- can citizens, commonly oulled Negro- €s, whether they be as black as m(d- bight or as white as the dripping “The socalled Division of Negro Keonomies has been ubolished by the Secretary of Labor largely because there Is no steh thing as segregating the ‘economies’ of Negro wage-earn: ers from those of any other race. It is fundamentally un-American to cre: ate classes or ¥o recognize classes. Our laws do not distinguish between white men and Nesroes or any other chiss or classes, ‘This is lifgh ground and we are wondering if this statesman will live up to the principles, which he has enunciated. ‘This Is why Dr. George E. Haynes and his bureau flourished sunder a Democratte Admintstratton snd went out of office under a Repub- Kean one. Col, Giles 3, Juckson of Uiix eisy was primartty responsible [ror the establistment of this Bureau aud then he had the “time of his life" in attompling to “keop the sad Me" so to speak, The Logie of the sit uation is that $f an administration In tends to ereate or to recognize clase and racial distine'ions then tt should establish bureaus to maintain and tnake more emphatic it posttion tm this matter, ‘Tho position taken by the honorable Sceretary ts all right. We reecho his ringing announcement that “It is fundamentally w1-American to Greate classes or to recognize clusses.

This cronting of “fim crow” bureaus and deyartments has dene some good, but to our mind has done more harm, ‘The sign, “Bureau of Nogro Keo: homies" prejudiced our ease in Wash: ington whenever * It was noted that this discriminating lettering was recognized and established by a nat: fonal Administration, We are Ameri: can citizens of Afrtoan descent.

The Senate passed the Knox peace resolution at 7:35 o'clock tonight by vote of 49 to 23. Three Democrats voted for the resolution, and although no Republican votes against it Senator Nelson of Minnesota was paired against it. The Democrats voting for it were Senators Myers of Montana, Sailfields of Tennessee and Watson of Georgia. Two other Democrats, Reed of Missouri and Walsh of Massachusetts, were announced as favoring the resolution. An all day long debate, in which the Democrats hazed and hectored the Republicans, attempting by multitudinous quotations to show that the Republic can party had been divided and that its course has been inconsistent, preceded the passage of the resolution. HOURS WASTED IN ORATORY The lenders of the minority realized the utter futility of their tactics, but consumed hours in oratorical encounters with Senators Lodge and Berah especially Senators Harrison Hitchcock and Heflin. Mr. Harrison sought to convey the impression that the Republicans won the national election by gulling the people as regards the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles, and made several speeches devoted to the idea that President Harding as a candidate had maneuvered to hold the support of all wings of his party by cypte utterances. The greater part of the debate was little more than a political argument, enator Borah contending that the people in the last election plainly had indicated what they wanted and Senator Harrison maintaining that the people had been deluded by Mr. Harding and the other Republican leaders. A clash between Senator Hitchcock and Senator Borah marked the closing moments of the debate. Mr. Borah had been denouncing the Versailles treaty as unworkable and saying that if he had his choice he would prefer that we be a party to the League of Nations rather than to the treaty apart from the league, because in his Judgment it was "destroying the poise of Europe" and "being violated by every nation a party to it." "The Senator from Idaho is the last man who should attack the Versailles treaty," Senator Hitchcock said, "because it is due to his masterful leadership against it that we are not now parties to it and are not in a position to enforce it as it should be enforced. By his leadership America lost her opportunity to retain the leadership of the world. He made us inpatient after we tried to have justice done. Because of the Idaho Senator's leadership Japan now has Shantung." DEPLORES RAISING ENAGUER ISSUE. Senator Hitchcock deplored, the burling of the league issue into the debate and insisted that passage of the Knox resolution was merely an attempt by the Senate to assume the leadership of the foreign policy and take power from the President. "I know there are many Democrats and some Republicans," he said, who are quietly working for reservation of some par of the Versailles Treaty say here and now there is nothing in Europe so universally despised and disregarded as the Versailles Treaty. He read from Premier Briand on cause we have not studied its bane that "it is dead because it does not work; that it is 'ideally perfect' be cause in it you can find anything you want." He continued: When Senator Pomerene interrupted to ask about the property provisions and insisted that it left us with out protection, Borah denied the contention and said that we have the German property now and will keep it until a satisfactory treaty is made with Germany. Until then he said, Germany will have nothing to say about it. Barlier in the day Senator Lodge explained the precise meaning of the resolution and urged its passage. SAUNDERS RESIGNS AS U. S.

Expressos Deep interest in Future of African Republic—President King First Foreign Ruler Received at White House in History of U. S. (By V. J. Williams.) Washington, April 15.—For over a month colored Washington awaited adequate diplomatic recognition of the Pleasant Liberian Commission by the Government of America. The long expected happened this afternoon. At four o'clock two litle House automobiles drove up in front of the residence of the Liberian commission. At 1317 R. St. northwest, Robert Wooddence of the Liberian commission at Bliss, Third Assistant Secretary of State walked briskly up the steps of the R street home of the commission where floated the one-sturred Liberian emblem. In formal tones Secretary Bliss announced that the President of the Republic of America would receive the President of the Republic of Liberia at the Executive Mansion. Fifteen minutes later the two automobiles seated in front of the White House. Secretary Bliss, President King, and Associate Justice Johnson of the Liberian Supreme Court came out of the first auto and ascended the White House steps, pausing to wait for Mr. Morris one of the Commissioners and Mr. Dennis, the secretary to the commission. The party entered the Blue Room where Secretary Bliss presented President. King to President Harding. Mr. King then presented the respective members of the Commission to President Harding who in turn presented the Commission to Secretary of State Haghes. Mr. Hughes had met the Commission before but diplomatic procedure required a second presentation by Mr. Harding as a matter of course. A cordial and informal conference followed in the course of which Secretary Bliss observed that "All the records had been searched and this was the very first time in the history of America that the ruler of a foreign country was received at the White House." INCIDENT HISTORIC This incident is really one of historic significance. It is true that Mr. Wilson had received the present President of Brazil, but at the time of the reception the Brazilian Chief Executive was only President-elect. When Albert, King of the Belgians came to this country, Mr. Wilson was too ill to receive him. HARDING RETURNS VISIT At five o'clock a third White House automobile drove up in front of President King's residence on R street, President Harding was returning the visit of the Liberian Commission. Accompanied by his military aide, Mr. Harding entered the official residence of the foreign envoy, while White House secret service men waited at the entrance. The President, spent some time with the Commission, Mr. Harding took care to make President King realize that "The American Government is always interested in any nation whose ideals are democratic," and said further that he himself had always been deeply interested personally in the history and development of the African Republic. He also expressed the hope that the sway of the Commission in America would be most pleasant. President King in thanking Mr. Harding expressed the wish and the hope that the most highly developed trade relationship would soon exist between America and Liberia. Mr. Harding inquired of President King as to the chief exports of Liberia and both Presidents discussed the coffee production of Liberia at some length. The conference came to an end. President Harding again wished the Commission a pleasant stay in America. The long looked for exchange of diplomatic courtesies between the President of America and the President of Liberia had taken place. ROLAND HAYES GETS A GIFT FROM KING OF ENGLAND. Roland Hayes of Georgia Sings in Buckling in Palace. King George was so delighted with the songs sung for him by Roland Hayes a Georgia Negro tenor that he presented him with a diamond pin. Hayes made such a favorable impression during his first visit to London that he was invited to Buckingham Palace, where he sang before the roy al family, featuring such songs as "Go Down, Moses," "Swing Low, Sweet Charity," and "Peter, Go Ring Them Bells." The royal family was delighted with the voice and conduct of the entertainer and the King observed how different the songs were from what the Engl. had been taught to believe were characteristic Negro melodies. Hayes has a wide repertoire of operatis arias, but his heart is with his race and he says that he is striving to rescue the genuine folk songs of his people from the debasement which they have suffered as the result of rag time. He told the King that the songs he sings sprang from religious fervor worked to white heat during camp meetings and were never associated with comic or minstrel entertainments. He said his parents were slaves in Georgia and therefore he realized the spiritual significance of the songs because during slavery times the music of the Negroes was essentially religious, for their only comfort lay in the promise of God. Hayes declares that he intends to go to Africa to collect native melodies at their source so as to compare them with the chance of the Negroes in America. He told the King that he thinks Western civilization has had the effect of softening the barbarities of primitive songs, but that oceans it had made little difference in them, as the clay be and so on remained the same. He said that he said that he hoped to do for the Afri can folk songs what Sir Walter Scott did for the border ballads. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y. M. C.

To the Churches Comprising the Virginia Missionary Baptist State Convention and to Those Scattered Abroad Throughout the Various States, Sharing Common Interest in the Great Work which our Lord has Laid Upon Us—Greetings: Grace be unto you and peace From God our Father abound upon you. I thank my God for you daily because of the great work laid upon you, the suc cess which has come to that work. In your hands. With the sweat and blood of your toll, He has mingled the dew drops of Heaven and in your trail He has multiplied blessings. I thank God with you for the great delegation that met us in Staunton last May, for the great outpouring of Holy Spirit upon that session, and for the large offerings the many Churches sent up for the building of our Master's Kingdom. By the race of God, we shall meet this year in our Fifty-fourth Annual Session with the Liberty Baptist church, Washington, D. C., Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., Pastor. At 8:00 p. M. Tuesday May 10th, will be a great memorial conference in honor of three valiant men who have gone to their God. The late President Gregory Willis Hayes, A. M, R. H. Bowling, L. D. and W. Bishop Johnson, LL. D., will be eulogized. While the Convention will not open until 9:00 A. M., Wednesday, we greatly desire the delegation to be present to honor the memory of these great benefactors Tuesday night. Let every Church be represented. If you can not possibly send a delegate, send letter and money to the President or Corresponding Secretary. Brethren our one hundred thousand dollar Administration Hall on our school grounds in Lynchburg is going up in a most pleasing way. By the time we meet in Washington, no doubt, it will be well nigh enclosed. It is the finest building to the credit of the race in the State of Virginia, and shall stand there as a monument to the love and labors of Colored Baptists of this generation and generations to come even after we, who now mingle our hands in the toll shall have gone to be with Jesus. Our great President, R. C. Woods, A. M., is doing the work in a way that makes our hearts leap for joy. He is a genius on the job; let us put up the money. Our Foreign Mission program is a unique one, but a few years hence, it will be adopted by many States. Our plan is to open a Virginia Baptist Mission Station in Africa, building there a great school, training men for the ministry and other professions and trades. We hope to begin work in the next convention year. We are expecting you to send up sufficient money for Foreign Missions to the coming session to enable us to launch a creditable foreign mission drive on African territory. Let all of the churches, associations and local conventions holding foreign mission money in your treasuries send it up to Washington. We will see that it goes to Africa and that you have an account of the same. We are asking every Baptist of the race, and all others who are interested in the great program herein stated, to give at least One Dollar each towards financing the same. This is a great denominational rally for a larger amount than any organization of the race in this section has attempted to raise at any one sitting; but the work demand it; God's cause is calling for it. We are the sponsors and it must be forthcoming. The President has issued fifty thousand One Dollar Certificates, caring the cut of the new building, with those of the President of the Seminary and the President of the Convention. Let every member and friend purchase one or more as souvenir. If you haven't one of these certificates, apply to your District Superintendent. If he cannot supply you, write your President. These are intended to help each Church raise its One Dollar per member for Education and Missions to be reported at our next convention. Briethen pray for the next session of our convention. Strive to raise and send up One Dollar per member for each member on your roll. Let the delegates come prepared to stay through the convention. Yours for the Fifty Thousand Dollars for our Master's Kingdom at the coming session. T. J. KING., President, 212 Second Street Roah, Rickmond. Va. for the past 36 YEARS, and the ROY E. BROWN, .

LEROY E. BROWN. STATE UNIVERSITY AIDS The state University of Florida has opened its correspondence courses to Negroes. Practical courses in elementary English and mathematics are offered as well as college and high school courses, courses in agriculture and for the position of mail carrier. A small fee is usually charged, but a number of free enrollments are open to Negroes. The enrollment so far is mostly in the elementary grades; but the secretary of the correspondence department writes: "We expect the Negro enrollment to grow slowly and steadily as they see we are in earnest in our desire to help them realize the possibilities of this type of instruction." All courses offered by the department are open to both races. KU KLUX KLAN NOT WANTED. Many ministers' alliances are actively opposing the Ku Klux organization. Frequently a Sunday is given to somons against it from all the pulpits of a city; sometimes an appeal is made to the authorities. The city council of Roanoke, Va., recently responded to such an appeal from the ministers with a public declaration of the city's entire ability to maintain order without outside aid and a request to all citizens to refuse to dismantle the organization. In Louisiana the outspoken opposition of the New Orleans papers has done much to prevent the Ku Klux's progress, and very little headway has been made there by its supporters.

EDWARD H. BROWN LEROY E. BROWN, LEROY E. BROWN, JR. VIRGINIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. Richmond, Va., March 3, 1921. To the Churches Compulsing the Virginia Missionary Baptist State Convention and to Those Scattered Abroad Throughout the Various States, Sharing Common Interest in the Great Work which our Lord has Laid Upon Us—Greetings: Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father abound upon you. I thank my God for you daily because of the great work laid upon you, the success which has come to that work in your hands. With the sweat and blood of your toil, He has mingled the dew drops of Heaven and in your trail He has multiplied blessings. I thank God with you for the great delegation that met us in Staunton last May, for the great outpouring of Holy Spirit upon that session, and for the large offerings the many Churches sent up for the building of our Master's Kingdom. By the race of God, we shall meet this year in our Fifty-fourth Annual Session with the Liberty Baptist church, Washington, D. C., Rev. Hol land Powell, D. D., Pastor. At 8:00 P.M. T. Tuesday May 10th, will be a great memorial conference in honor of three valiant men who have gone to their God. The late President Gregory Will Hayes, A. M. R. H. Bowling, L.L. D. and W. Bishop Johnson, LL. D., will be eulogized. While the Convention will act open until 9:00 A. M., Wednesday, we greatly desire the delegation to be pres ent to honor the memory of these great benefactors Tuesday night. Let every Church be represented. If you can not possibly send a delegate, send letter and money to the President or Corresponding Secretary. Brethren our one hundred thousand dollar Administration Hall on our school grounds in Lynchburg is go ing up in a most pleasing way. By the time we meet in Washington, no doubt, it will be well enclosed. It is the finest building to the credit of the race in the State of Virginia, and shall stand there as a monument to the love and labors of Colored Baptists of this generation and gen erations to come even after we, who now mingle our hands in the toil shall have gone to be with Jesus. Our great President, R. C. Woods, A. M., is doing the work in a way that makes our hearts leap for joy. He is a genius on the job; let us put up the money. Our Foreign Mission program is a unique one, but a few years hence, it will be adopted by many States. Our plan is to open a Virginia Baptist Mission Station in Africa, building there a great school, training men for the ministry and other professions and trades. We hope to begin work in the next convention year. We are expecting you to send up sufficient money for Foreign Missions to the coming session to enable us to launch a creditable foreign mission drive on African territory. Let all of the churches, associations and local conventions holding foreign mission money in your treasuries send it up to Washington. We will see that it goes to Africa and that you have an account of the same. We are asking every Baptist of the race, and all others who are interested in the great program herein stated, to give, at least. One Dollar each towards financing the same. This is a great denominational rally for a larger amount than any organization of the race in this section has attempted to raise at any one sitting; but the work demand 'it; God's cause is calling for it. We are the sponsors and it must be for the coming. The President has issued fifty thousand One Dollar Certificates, carrying the cut of the new building, with those of the President of the Seminary and the President of the Convention. Let every member and friend purchase one or more as souvenirs. If you haven't one of these certificates, apply to your District Superintendent. It be cannot supply you, write your President. These are in tended to help each Church raise its One Dollar per member for Education and Missions to be reported as our next convention. Brought pray for the next session of our convention. Strive to raise and send up One Dollar per member for each member on your roll. Let the delegates come prepared to stay through the convention. Yours for the Fifty Thousand Dollars for our Master's Kingdom at the coming session. T. J. KING., President, 212 Second Street Roah, Richmond, Va. for the past 36 YEARS, and the LEOY E. BROWN. E.

LEOY E. BROWN. STATE UNIVERSITY AIDS. The state University of Florida has opened its correspondence courses to Negroes. Practical courses in elementary English and mathematics are offered as well as college and high school courses, courses in agriculture and for the position of mail carrier. A small fee is usually charged, but a number of free enrollments are open to Negroes. The enrollment so far is mostly in the elementary grades; but the secretary of the correspondence department writes: "We expect the Negro enrollment to grow slowly and steadily as they see we are in earnest in our desire to help them realize the possibilities of this type of instruction." All courses offered by the department are open to both races. KU KLUX KLAN NOT WANTED Many ministers' alliances are actively opposing the Ku Klux organization. Frequently a Sunday is given to sermons against it from all the pulpits of a city; sometimes an appeal is made to the authorities. The city council of Roanoke, Va., recently responded to such an appeal from the ministers with a public declaration of the city's entire ability to maintain order without outside aid and a request to all citizens to refuse to denounce the organization. In Louisiana the outspoken opposition of the New Orleans papers has done much to prevent the Klint's progress, and very little headway has been made there by its supporters.
