The Savannah Tribune LOCAL REAL ESTATE MAN HONORED ELECTED PRESIDENT NATIONAL REAL ESTATE DEALERS National Negro Business League's Session Just Closed, A Brilliant Affair—Attendance Largest in History of Body—Reports Show Great Progress—Several Interesting Side Trips by Delegates. The fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League which convened in Muskogee, Okla., from the 19th to the 21st of this month was one of the most brilliant and successful meetings this body has ever held. Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the league, presided at most of the sessions and the reports read by the various members showed in no unmistakable manner the great progress which the race is making along commercial lines. Dr. Washington in an address at the Gaity theatre on last Friday night painted the progress of the race since emancipation and for an hour and twenty minutes captivated an audience of over a thousand representative white friends. His remarks repeatedly elicited applause, and as many persons as heard him were turned away at the doors, because of lack of accommodations. The president's annual address to the league was one which sank deep into the hearts of his many hearers and was along the usual conservative lines, touching upon every phase of Negro life and urging the young men of the race especially to take advantage of their opportunities and make men of themselves. The Negro real estate dealers throughout the country will be pleased to learn that a real estate department was organized by the league. Among those who were foremost in advocating the addition of this feature to the league was Savannah's representative, G. H. Bowen, who, the local business men will be pleased to know, was made president. The feature of Tuesday's program of the league was the industrial parade in the afternoon, which terminated at the fair grounds. The parade was an hour and twenty minutes long, showing the progress of the Negro and the idea of demonstration and advertising. Four bands, boy cadets, floats with school children, Negroes in automobiles, carriages and buggies, a troop of men and women on horse back, bicycle riders and mule riders wound down the street in gala attire. It was said to be the finest demonstration in the history of the league. The side trips for the visitors were very interesting, especially so, was that to Boley, Oklahoma, the most progressive Negro town in the country, where a short session of the league was held. Practically the entire delegation took in the trip, a stop of about two hours being made at Ocmulgee, Okla., where a dinner was served and other celebrations were engaged in. Several cities made bids for the next session of the league, Kansas City, Mo., Boston and Washington, D. C., being the ones most prominently mentioned, with the former seemingly having the larges number of supporters. Mr. Bowen, the local representative, will tell of his trip on next Thursday night at a public meeting of the league at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, Maple and West Broad streets. The meeting will convene promptly at 8:30 o'clock. Evangelical Ministers' Union. The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday with Rev. P. F. Curry, presiding. Rev J. S. Jenkins conducted devotional services. A letter from the S. A. L. official, in which he spoke of his road's willingness and desire to do all in its power to make conditions for the colored people on his road what they should be was read. Rev J. S. Striplin read a paper which was widly discussed. A Model School Building While in Savannah the South Carolina party had a splendid opportunity to inspect the new grammar school building for colored people just completed on Cuyler street. This is without a doubt the best and most complete school building for colored people in the South. It has 21 large rooms, wide halls and the facilities that are found in the best regulated northern schools. The superintendent, Mr. Ashmore, plans to emphasize teaching of the practical sciences, domestic science, sewing, dress making, school gardening, drawing, manual training, etc., along with thoro training in the English ranches Prof. Jno. W. Hubert, A. M., a graduate of Morehouse College of Atlanta, and of Chicago University, for a long time head of the natural science department of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and head of the Farm School at White Plains, Ga., has been selected as principal of this school. He is now preparing to assume his official duties the 1st of October and make this the greatest school of its kind in the country. The Palmetto Farmer wishes to congratulate the city of Savannah on having such a splendid gentleman as Mr. Ashmore as its superintendent of schools. We wish also to commend the steps that Savannah has taken to educate its colored population properly to other cities and small towns throughout the South. Savannah has seen that the future of her white population is inseparably bound up with that of the colored man, and is preparing to make a better neighbor out of him. Let the South take heed.—Palmetto Farmer. First A. B. Church. A splendid audience heard the Rev. J. K. B. Butler preach at the F. A. B. Church on last Sunday morning and night. His text at 11:00 o'clock a. m. service was selected from Ezekiel 36:26, subject, "A new heart." At the night service he preached a strong and forceable sermon from St. Luke 2:10, subject, "The Gospel." Rev. J. H. Gordon offered a fervent prayer, after which the choir sang, "Must Jesus bear the cross alone" Rev. Butler deserves much credit for the manner in which he delivered his sermons. Indeed the members of the F. A. B. Church delight in hearing him preach, and, too, they feel a nearness towards him, because of the fact, his inspiration for the ministry eminated in their midst. He has made a success in the ministry since he started in the 70's, and has been an honor to the church of his first membership. For a number of years he held important charges in some of the leading cities in the New England states, and lastly in Fernandina, Fla. He is now in his home city, a live worker, on the mission field among many of his boyhood friends, who wish him all success that can but attend him. The church held its monthly conference(post poned) on last Monday night and much business was transacted. Dea. Lee Gilmore was given permission to preach three trial sermons to the church, by request, preparatory to granting him papers as a licentiate minister. Plans are being devised to remodel the parsonage and the church. The members are urgently asked to co-operate with the officers, as they desire to do this work before calling a pastor, which, no doubt, will be done in three or four months. The church will unveil its mourning some time next month. The Sunday School is in a flourishing condition, also the B. Y. P. U. The red and blue lines are making things hum to outstrip each other in raising the most money. The St. Catherine excursion was a success. Married Miss Ineze Fleming and Mr. Thomas Jefferson were quietly married on last Monday by Rev. Daniel Wright at the parsonage of the First Bryan Baptist Church. Mrs. Jefferson leaves tomorrow for Augusta, Ga., for a month's stay. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914 [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Rev. B. S.

The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the house. Rev. R. H. Singleton and Rəv. J. K. B. Butler, officiated. Mrs. Olara King Davis, after a lingering illness, died on Thursday morning. She was well known among the smarter set of the city. The funeral will take place on Sunday. She leaves a husband and several relatives. Second Baptist Church On last Sunday the services throughout the day were splendid. Rev. Pinson preached. In the early evening proceeding the night service, a splendid crowd of young people attended B. Y. P. U. meeting. Deaths Fox Club no Match for Home Boys The baseball game pulled off at the ball park on last Monday afternoon between the Fox Club and the (Home Boys) Savannah Home Association was quite amusing. The Fox's went down in defeat before two hundred and fifty enthusiatic fans. Quite a number of women witnessed the game. The score stood 24 to 1. Mumphris who began the twirling for the Fox, was taken out after the first inning and Brown took charge of the inound. It was no better for the boys. The heavy hitting Home Boys swat the ball at will. In the last four innings of the games, Brown got himself together and pitched fairly good ball. Coca who did the slab work for the opposing team and Robbie Burke who did the receiving, worked like machinery. In fact the entire team put up a good game. The infield was very strong and everytime the Foxites would connect with the ball they would find a Homeite in the way of its passage. It was only through a fast play by Burke to Stiles, the latter covering the third bag, that enabled the Foxites to cross the home plate. Burke throwing a wild ball which Stiles failed to field. Mungin of the Home Boys led the batting, getting 4 hits out of 6 times up, followed by Jackson, Daniels and Green, all of the same team who got 3 hits each. Hits off Mumphris and Brown 19, off Coca 4. Glover, left fielder, played the best game for the Fox: T St .Philip's Church --- Rev. R. H. Singleton preached morning and evening on last Sunday. The Flipper and Singleton divisions are very busy. Five thousand dollars must be raised by October 25th. Every class must be organized, each class to has a president, secretary and treasurer. The latter must collect from each member every week and report to the general treasurer every Sunday. Every class leader must see to it that every member on his class have tags. Our friends are earnestly requested to assist the church. The Singleton division will open a five night fair on Monday night, August 31. The public is invited to the A. C. E. League every Sunday at 7 p. m. St. Stephen's Episcopal church congregation with the pastor worshipped at St. Philip on Wednesday night of last week. Rev. Taylor delivered an excellent sermon. Rev. Este, pastor of Bethel church preached on Monday night of last week and Rev. C. C. Cargile, presiding elder of the West Savannah district, preached on Thursday night of last week. Motorcycle Races Labor Day The entry list for the motorcycle races Labor day at Woodlawn park by the Colored Motorcycle Club is now about completed and will be published next week. All of the standard make machines will be in the races and much rivalry is being manifested by the various riders. The machines are all being tuned up and every evening most of the members of the club can be seen on some of the roads trying their mounts out. Aside from the motorcycle races there will be several bicycle races. Prize money to the amount of $150.00 will be given away and some fast time will undoubtedly be made in the races.. Full particulars of the event will be given in next Saturday's Tribune, together with the entire entry list. Boxing Contest Tuesday Night A boxing contest of considerable local interest will be that of Tuesday evening at the Liberty theatre when Tommy McGuire meets Jack McGuire (both white) and Hock Bones clashes with Kyle Whitney. Both of these bouts give promise of furnishing much excitement for the fans and a large crowd will probably be out. Beside the main bouts there will be six preliminaries. The price of admission will be 50 cents and $1.00. Special balcony has been reserved for colored people. Variety is the Spice of Life One may get a rest from the grim excitement of the great European war by reading "Cleek of Scotland Yard" in the Magazine and Story Section of the Sunday World and glancing over the humorous contents of the Comic Section portraying the many adventures of the Katzenjammer Kids or unravelling some of the problems in the Fun Book. Order your Sunday World early. Eureka Club Election The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held their annual election of officers on last Monday night at their rooms Masonic Temple. The election was exceedingly quiet, there being no opposition to the present board of officers. For several years there have been two factions, but the getting together of the members on this election will have a tendency of eliminating factional fights which will be a great relief to the many loyal members of the club and prove beneficial to the organization. The officers elected were: W. H. Norman, president; H. S. Scott, vice-president; H. T. Singleton, financial secretary; R. W. Bryan, recording secretary; I. H. B. Goodwin, advocate; C. N. Mathis, treasurer; H. L. Felton, chairman of house. First Congregational Church Last Sunday Rev, J. L. Taylor preached a very acceptable and instructive sermon. His presence and sermon were heartily appreciated by the members and friends of the church. He will preach again tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. The subject of his sermon will be "Recognition of our loved one in heaven and the purpose of the waiting dead." It is expected that a large congregation will be out to hear him. This is the last Sunday of the vacation period. The pastor, Rev. W. L. Cash, who has been away, is expected to be at his post the following Sunday. Tabernacle . Baptist . Church First Tabernacle Baptist Church, Huntingdon street, west, Tuesday evening prayer service, Thursday evening preaching, Friday evening choir rehearsal.

NUMBER 49 SAINT JOSEPH AID SOCIETY MEETS SAINT JOSEPH AID SOCIETY MEETS REV. B. S. HANNAH UNANIMOUSLY RE-ELECTED TO HEAD ORGANIZATION Two Hundred Seventy-five Delegates Present—Division Has Made 2500 Members—Much Progress Reported Since Last Meeting—Next. Session. Goes To Fitzgerald. The Eastern Georgia grand lodge of the St. Joseph Aid Society convened at Seabrook's hall at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week in it fourteenth annual session and adjourned yesterday afternoon after a most beneficial and profitable meeting. The past grand lodge was the most largely attended meeting yet held by this division of the society, there being something over two hundred and twenty-five delegates present. The sessions of the grand lodge, both morning and afternoon, were well attended and a spirit of harmony and good will permeated every meeting. Rev. B. S. Hannah, grand chief, presided at all the meetings and his opening remarks on Wednesday were highly applauded by the members. This division of the society, which, by the way, was organized in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1897 and which has subordinate lodges in eleven states and a branch in West Africa, is composed of fifty lodges with a total membership of 2500. The treasurer's report showed the society to be in splendid financial condition, with a large increase over the amount on hand at the previous session held in Jesup, Ga. Numerically the society has also increased and the prospects are, with the interest and enthusiasm at an unusually high point, that this coming year will break all records in point of increased membership. On Wednesday night the society met at the Charles street, St. Philip Church in a public meeting and an interesting program was carried out. At the annual election of officers on Thursday afternoon the Rev. B. S. Hannah was unanimously re-elected grand chief. The following are the officers for the ensuing year: Rev. B. S. Hannah, G. C.; A. W. Mansley, V. C.; Rev P. F. Seabrooks, G. F. S.; E. W. Pope, G. R. S.; Rev. L. A. Clark, G. W. Prof.; Rev. R. L. Heard, G. W. Chap.; H. Bryant, G. Treas.; C. McCall, G. Marshal; W. C. Robinson, G. Watchman; Dr. E. M. Pinckney, G. M. R.; Mrs. M. E. Pierce, G. H. to W. P.; J. C. Elliott, G. H. to W. P. Why Try to Split the Delegation There seems to be a disposition on the part of a few who are going to attend the B. M. C. at Boston next month to split the Savannah delegation as to the route to be taken. From all accounts, the delegates in meeting assembled voted to go over the Southern Railroad and the same was accepted as the official route. Why try now to cause a split? It is now understood that one of the very delegates who supported the Southern Railroad is bestirring himself to such an extent against it, until he is personally calling on the delegates and trying to influence them to go another route. But the class of ladies and men who will leave Savannah to attend this meeting are not so easily changed, they believe in sticking to whatever is done first, last and all it he time and it is almost useless to say that every one of them will go over the road selected by the delegation on September 11th. Mr. W. S. Roundfield, chairman of the delegation, expects to carry quite a number. Every possible convenience and suitable accommodations have been arranged for, and all those who go by the Southern will undoubtedly have a pleasant trip. St. Stephen's. Sunday services at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The Rev. Mr. Rich of Baltimore, Md., will preach at p. m., all are invited.

Stearns. ‘This lesson of questions by Pharisees and Herodians and Sadducees, feign: ing themselves just men, but seeking to entangle Him in His talk that they might catch Him in His words and sv deliver Him unto the power and au- thority of the governor, is found in Matthew, Mark and Luke (Mark xii, 13; Luke xx, 20). His warning to the disciples to beware of the leaven or false teaching of the same threo ‘classes of people 1s found in Matt. xvi, 6; Mark vill, 15. The Pharisees were the most religious people of that day. but were mere formalists. Everything was outward to obtain praise of men; nothing real before God. The Herod, ans. Judging from Herod, could enjoy @ Rood talk, but preferred the sinful pleasures of this world to things real and eternal. The Sadducees were re- ligious, but had no use for things su- pernatural, angels or spirits, and did not belfeve in any resurréetion. None of them had any-use for Jesus Christ or His doctrine. Although they could not deny His wonderfal works, His teaching was to them foolish and im- practical and impossible. The light of ‘His pure, holy life was too great a contrast to thelr selfish sinfulness. Even Daniel's enemies had to con- fess that he was falthfal and that there was neither error nor fault in him and that it would be impossible to find occasion against him unless in some way concerning the law of his God (Dan. vi, 4, 5). These enemies of Christ were in a similar difficulty, but they would not cease from thelr purpose. The Phars- sees and Herodians unite in a scheme which they think will surely enable them to find occasion against Him, and so they come with flattering words concerning His being a teacher of truth and caring not for what people think or say of Him (verse 16). They propound a question which it seems to them will bring from Him an en- snaring reply: “Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not?" “Shall we give, or shall we not give?” (Verse 17, Mark xii, 15) Ss They probably thought that He would advise not to give to Caesar and thus find Him guilty of teaching against Caesar. They did not begin to know Him, nor that He could read thelr hearts, nor that they were deal- ing with one who. knew what was in moan (Jer. xvil, 10; John it, 25). How scathing His reply, “Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?” How surprising His request, “Show me the tribute money,” or as it is in Mark xil, 15, “Bring me a penny that 1 may see it.” When they had brought it and in re. ply to His question told Him whose image it bore, then He saith unto them, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's” (verse 21). So they could not take’ hold of His words, marveled at His answer, held thelr peace, left Him and went their way (verse 22; Luke xx, 26). It was true on all occasions, “Never man spake like this man.” He Him- self said, “The Words that 1 speal unto you 1 speak hot of myself, but | the Father that dwelleth in me He doeth the works" “He gave me a commandment what 1 should say and | what 1 should speak" (John xiv. 10; xii, 49). If we were as fully yielded ' to Him as He was to the Father it would be true of us, “It is not ye that! speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you” (Matt. x, 20). . He was the image of the invisible God (II. Cor. tv, 4; Heb. 1, 3; Col. 1, 15). | When we become His by redemption | we begin to bear His image and should day by day be increasingly | conformed to that image, for to that | end all things are intended to work (Rom. vill, 28, 29). If we by faith be-| hold His glory it will be so until when } we see Him we shall be like Him (IL Cor. ii1, 18; I John ill, 1, 2. By crea- tion they belonged to God, for He gave them life and breath and all things, but by choice they denied God in thelr works through ppofessing to know Him (Tit {, 16). God wants nothing from those who will not ac- cept His mercy in Christ Jesus. He must first forgive us as sinners and give us Himself in Christ and make Fe Ma chithdieen| bien mae N30: ACEGEOGEAPH| When isa man mos coninsed! When he misses his train.

BATTLE RAGING ON | BELGIAN BORDER ritish and French Fight Kaiser’s Army JAPAN IN WORLD WAR Time Limit of Japan’s Ultimatum to ee eee The French and British troops ar facing the greater part of the Germar army along a battle line which ex. tends from Mons to the Luexembur¢ frontier. The allied armies, whicl have been concentrating at strategic points for the past two weeks, arc believed to be strongly entrenched pn powerful forts to lend suppor in holding back the invaders. | An official announcement issued at Paris warns the people that the tide of battle ‘may ebb and flow; that there will be no actions along thi: great line, which are bound to be responded to by just as stirring coun- ‘teractidns by the Gérmans, and that ‘the people must wait for the outcome of the first phase of this great battle, which probably will last several days, before it can determine on which side victory rests. Japan Enters War of Nations. Japan has come into the war of nations. The emperor of Japan has declared war on Germany and the Japanese fleet and land forces are ready for the struggle around Kiao- Chow, the German protectorate in China, Late dispatches from Tsing- Tau say the German preparation ‘is complete and that the territory will be defended to the utmost. Several German warships are lying In the har- bor of Tsing-Tau and the waters have been mined. Coincidentally with Japan's dec- laration of war against Germany, the British official news bureau announces that the Austro-Hungarian govern- ment has ordered the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth, now at Tsing- Tau, to disarm and has instructed the crew to proceed to Tien-Tsin. This apparently climinates Austria from the conflict in the far cust. Liege Forts Stil! Defy Germans. While the Lieze forts are said to be holding out, an otticial statement from the French government tells of the blowing up of Fort Chaudefon- taine by the Belgian commander after it had been razed by German guns. Official Russian dispatches claim victory for the Russian forces over three German corps. Great Duke Nicholas, commander-In-chief of the Russian army, descrives Russian vic- torles in East Prussia. The Servians apparently are driv- ing out the Austrians, and a late dis- patch by way of Italy says it is an- nounced at Vienna that the opera- tions against Servia on the Drina river have been abandoned. It is reported that the Italian army will be mobilized August 27. Wash- ington believes Italy will join Eng- land and France against Germany. JAPAN DECLARES WAR. Army and Navy Ordered to Strike x at Once. a The emperor-of Japan has declared war on Germany. This action was taken at the expiration of the time Umit of Japan's ultimatum to Ger- many demanding the surrender of Kiao-Chow. The Japanese government has or- dered the beginning of operations on land and sea. The imperial reseript declaring war upon Germany has been issued. It officially inaugurates hostilities in the far east as q resnit of Germany's failure to reply to the Japanese ulti- matum. The proclamation of the emperor sent a thrill through- the country. Japan's entrance upon the fulfillment of her obligations to her ally, Great Britain, responds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled in Tokio before the buildings occupied by the department of foreign affairs and the administration of the navy. The popular manifestations, however, do not approach the enthusiasm which preceded the war with Russia. 1,000,000 MAY LOSE JOBS. ‘Stoppage of Dyc Imports Would Close Factories. '_ Instructions have been sent to Am- bassador Gerard and American con- sular officers in Germany to notify the state department at Washington at once whether the European war will prevent the shipment of dye- stuffs to America. The matter is of vital importance to woolen, cotton, silk, leather and other industries in this count that use colors because the present sup- ply will keep such factories going only 100 days, when a million work- ers would be thrown out of employ- ment.

Many shop windows in the west end of London are displaying signs, “No Germay or Austrian goods stock- ed here.” “This development of the war on the Germanic conference was inaugurated. by the board of trade boycott, which 1s spreading rapidly. Feeling against Germans is becom- ing so bitter that Ralph Blumenfeld, proprietor of the Daily Express, pub- Ushes, it 1s quoted, that neither he nor any of his staff fs a German. GERMANS DEFEAT FRENCH AND BRITISH French Forces Driven From Alsac¢e-Lorraine HEAVY LOSSES REPORTED M fated AifrAlong Line wad Keiser ‘The French and British troops op- posing the invasion of the German army in Belgium have suffered a se- mous reverse according to the offi- ‘clal announcement issued by the ‘French war office. In the battle line, which extends from Mons to the Lux- emburg frontier, several army corps composed of both British and French took the offensive on Sunday against the Germans, but their plan of at- tack falled, owing to the ‘“unfore- seen difficultles,"” as described by the official statement, and the troops re- tired on the covering positions. The losses on both x{des are re- ported as extremely heavy, and the French officials described the Germans as belng obliged to establish them- selves in fresh positions in Lorraine. The French have abandoned those portions of Alsaée and Lorraine which they previously had occupied, and now look for heavy fighting in French territory.

The Yamato, in an extra edition today, says that the bombardment of Tsing-Tau by the Japanese ficet has commenced. This message was pass- ed by the censor of the navy depart- ment. British, French and Russian vessels of war are taking part in the move- ment. Unanimous approval of the wat with Germany, which is calmly and dispassionately discussed, summar- izes public opinion. The newspapers express regret over the necessity of hostilities, and urge the public to re- frain from exhibiting resentment to- ward the Germans in Japan.

He is the 80n of the late Duke of Flanders, and it was the mysterious death of his brother, Prince Baudoin, or Baldwin. which made his accession to the throne possible. In 1808 he came to America and spent much time in New York, Wash- ington and the east, went west and stayed for months in St Paul. ‘While here he studied about every concelva- ble industry in the country, Oa his re- turn he wrote a book about America, which evidenced the fact that his idea of an ideal government was the one this country had adopted.

Waring Rus- sell removes from us one of the Jandmurks, He was a leader in local politics and did effective work for the democratic party during reconstruction times. As jailor,sberiff and county treasurer he was well known. His uefeat for the county treasurership a few years ago was the only one he has ever suffered, and it was undeserving for the democrats of this county owed him gratitude that they were never able to pay. No one with the least thread o sympathy within him can fail to feel keenly the appalliag suffering and loss of life which the present European War is bringing about. To know that even women and children are the innocent victims of bombs thrown _indiscriminate- ly is almost incredible,yet accord- ing to the dispatches, such seems to be the case. Even‘ with the Strict censorship on war news in vogue there is much occasion for frequent shudders as there leaks out from time to time informa- tion concerning the wholesale slaughter of fighting men pitted against cach other in deadly com- bats. Whatasadcondition! The question raises itself within our inind at this time as to the dura- tion of the present war. At the present time no one can foresee or foretell its close. Onthe other hand, every indication points to a long drawn out struggle to the death between the warring coun- tries. | - rari ‘Lhe colored people of the en- tire country as wellas the white people who believe in equality and justice to all mankind regardless to race, color or previous condi- tion, must Fejaice in the recent re- pudiation which has come to Governor Blease andall for which he stands, through the primary recentiy beld in the Palmetto stata. his rejoicing comes not because it is characteristic of these people to grow happy over the failure of an individual to reach the goal of his ambition but because Bleasism im South Caro- lina was representative of a can- cerous growth which if allowed to grow and spread, would in time destroy the very vitals of orgar- ized und representative govern- ment throughout the southland. ‘There is no denying the fact that the goveruor of South Carolina is a mistit in governmental life. In- deed his actions have lead us to believe that he is a political mon- strosity whose only object has been und is to ride into political office over the dead selves of a people who throvgh legislative enactment have already become a nonenity inthe political life of his state it would indeed be impos- sible for one to measure the re- tardacion which has come to ciyil- ization and progress of thé state of South Carolina through the ub- normal and insane vaporings of this political demagogue. Blind- ed by prejudice of the fiercest sort and together and absolutely bent upon political preferment and emolument, this man, the chief executive of a thriving com- monwealth, has gone about his way belching forth mob violence incendiarism and violence against our people from one part of the state to the other, ‘The result, no doubt, has already proven dis- astrous to organized government in South Carolina. Weak minded and easily influenced inhabitants of the Palmetto state haye follosv- edin the wake of their governor, imitatiog every.act of his in his campaign of violence and vituper- ation aguinst our people. Thunk God, however, there are well mean- ing people in South Carolina, as the result 6f the cecent primary clearly shows. And they have power within themselves. Rising as one nan, they have repudiated Blease by one blow. Would that all like him suffer a similar fate. And we believe they will. The hand writing on the wall points to more enlightenment and justice in southern politics in the future. There is a growing wave of dis- gust against the demagogic states- mausbip showing itself through outthe south. We have every reason to belicve and hope that in due time it will cover Dixie like the dew “Then and not until then will the people of the south shake themselves away from the fungus which for some time has kept ‘their heads below the surface. Indications are that Bleasism has received its death blow in South Carolina. We wonder if this is true of other states of the south. Letushope. Io the meantime, let us pray that his satanic majes- ty willbe buried so far beneath the surface that his future resur- rection will be among the al- together impossible. ies | Blackshear District Conference t a Success The Blackshear, Ga., district conference convened at Scriven, Ga., on the 23'to 29th ult., at Rey.

GRIM WAR LORD MOST NOTABLE UT one short year ago Germany was celebrating the kaiser’s jubilee—a quarter of a century of peace marked by progress such as no other nation had ever made in a lke space of time. By all the standards of civilization the Teuton had made good. The population of thé German empire had increased from 47,- 000,000 to 67,000,000 and the death rate hhad sunk from twenty-five to seven- teen per thousand.

Emigration had ceased, and every year at harvest time a million foreign laborers had to be imported. Industrial tusurance had shorn poverty and old age of their ter- tors. Wealth and luxury had grown hand in hand with art and science, and there was not a branch of the na- tional life that had not flourished. Today the kalser has risked every- thing, the power of bis empire—the fu- ture of bis people, the very existence of his own dynasty—upon war. What manner of man Is it who had the power—by right of birth alone— thus to dispose of the lives, the lber- tiles and the peaceful pursuits of so many of his fellow men? William I, “der kalser’—for Bis- marck insisted that the new German BAST, — ee Pa . . ud er. yo 1 ee fF ress e Pees a: ae a Pris 3 a ; oer Wea eS: * 7 eet eae mee 22k Sh eed be r z i 4 Lee ey * a eee EMPEROR WILLIAM AT THE AGE OF FOUR- TEEN, TWENTY-TWO AND TWENTY-FOUR, emperors should assume the ancient style of the old emperors of Germany ts the ninth monarch of the house of Hohenzoltern to rule over the kingdom of Prussia and the third of the house to rule over the empire of United Germany. He is 2 gray baired man ot fifty-five, not more than five feet eight or nine inches, with 2 distinct tendency to corpulency. ‘The kaiser’s face is always pale and pasty, and after fatigue or in fllness he OF EUROPE GUE OF CONTEST looks ashen gray. As everybody knows, he has been a cripple from birth. His left arm was Injured so severely by the straining of the main nerves that it 1s atrophied and shrunken and hangs Ump and practically useless save to re- pose on the gold sword hilt at his side. The extent to which this cripples bis movements can best be judged by the fact that he canuot hold a fork in his left hand and eats with one which he holds in his right and which bas a spe- clally Leavy outside prong with a flat cutting edge that answers the purposes of a knife as well. Yet by a wonder- ful display of pluck, perseverance and suppleness he has -made himself an adept at most sports. The kalser’s “tweltpolitik,” or world policy, seems to have been always dl- rected against Russia, France and Eng- land, and, although from time to time he had made efforts toward a rap- Prochement with each of these powers, he never lost sight of the possibility that one day they would all be arrayed against him. His policy has contemplated a, vast colonial empire that would afford an outlet for German products and bring wealth and riches to the fatherland, But when the Gerinan empire was cre- ated the world was pretty well colo- nized and Africa about the only cont!- nent available for exploitation. But there France had the richest colonies, and as the kaiser well knew that the loss of Alsace-Lorraine rankled deep in the heart of the French nation aud that one day it would seek revenge, he never lost sight of the facts that he would sooner or later have to tight France and that her African colonies would be the richest spoils of the war It he were the victor.

He went about*his plans with consummate skill, and almost before England was aware of it he became a power in the Moslem world and was getting concessions to build a railway in the valley of the Euphrates, which would have given bim absolute cob- trol of a portion of the newest route to India. "The kaiser has insatiable passion for work, and nothing 1s too small for bis attention, He can tum from the ‘weightlest state paper to select a new model button for his guards, and from bis weltpolitik to give the world of J masculine fashion a new style of mus- jtache; but, after all, the hand that fused the curling fron showed no in- abiltiy to wield the sword or hold the scepter. In some things he hardly seems to belong to modern times. He jabominates the typewriter, and not only is one never allowed within his hearing, but no communication dare be ‘sent to bim for bis perusal ‘with which the typewriter has had anything to do. As a soldier the kaiser ’s an un- known quantity. He has never been on a battlefield in his life and in playing at war during bis regular ‘au- tumn maneuvers competent obsérvers have held that hls methods are medie- val. A great French general said once that he would hope for nothing better if war came between France and Ger- many than that the kalser should take supreme command of his army. Cer- tain it fs that in peace the kaiser has often nd so many of the enemy and his own troops “killed” in sham fights that in real warfare nut enough sol- dlers would have remained to bury the dead, HORRORS OF WAR. Around Liege. The London Daily ‘Telegraph's Rotterdam correspondent, in a dis- patch filed, says: “How deadly was the task the Germans undertook In rebuilding the bridge over the river Meuse is shown by the Rotterdam Courant’s correspondent at Maas- tricht. “A pontoon bridge, built by the Germans. he says, was shot away so ‘that further troops could not cross it. The Twenty-fifth and Nineteenth German regiments, which supported the bridge bullders, were mowed down by the quick-firing guns. A wound- ed Belgian was asked how the Ger- mans had fared and replied in one word, ‘aunihilated.’ “The wounded who can he trans- ported by rail are to be brought from the hospitals at Maastricht to Alk- maas.”” Another correspondent who visited the battlefields at Vise and Liege writes: ‘sNot far from the lttle Dutch fron- tier village of Mech, I passed the re- muins of 2 big German camp. Dead Soldiers, elvifian$ and horses and wagous, carts, automobiles and bicy- cles lay in confusion. Germans and Belgians lay side by slde—eyidence that there was fighting man to man. Houses had been sacked because the soldiers wished to avenge themselves on civilians who fired on them. “Civilians who did not fight are al- lowed to pass, but German guards re- fuse to allow this courtexy to Bel- giun civilians who were engaged ia the battle. Poor wretches, they must wait where they Ie, not daring te move, for they declare they Will be shot atr German Officers Dispicited. “I met a party of German officers in an automobile. They held their revolvers in their hands and scru- tinized me closely. They appeared to be dispirited because of the fact that twice duriug the last two days there had been a panie and German sol- diers had fired on comrades, by mis- take. They asked me not to speak in the presence of the wounded. “After the constant fighting the sol- dliers were exhansted. but they Iny by the side of thelr horses fully clothed, ready to be roused at = mo- ment’s notice.” Morale of Prussians Broken. Telegraphing | from Brussels, the correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle says of the fighting at Liege: ’ “The Germans tried to overpower the forts by flinging Immense bodies of men aguinst them fu mass forma- thon. The last Prussian assault on Bonceiles reminded one of the early: days of Port Arthur, The Infantry! melted away before the machine suns of the defenders. “The morale of the Prussians was entirely broken toward the end of thy general attack, The casualties among the German officers were considerable. The attackers ran short of rite am- munition. Wounded Germans declared they had had no food for two days.” U. S. MERCHANT MARINE.

HSoSsaSsesecessss Passing of Pope Pius X.; | How a New Pontiff Is ~ Selected by Conclave HE death of Pope Pius X. was ] undoubtedly hastened by “his auxiety and grief over the sit- 1 uation in Europe. Indeed, as je lay dying be expressed the opinion that God wished to spare him the hor- rors of the war all around him, whose echoes he could almost hear in Rome. {Until hostilities actually commenced the pope did not belleve that war could come between the nations !n- ‘volved, and-he swooned when he heard ‘tbat Germany had declared war upon ‘Russia and realized that the conflagra- ‘tlon hud actually been kindled. Until ihe died he spent most of his time in praying for peace and shortly before his death issued an appeal to every Catholic throughout the world to pray for the war to cease. One the tenth day after the demise of a pope the cardinals assemble in the forenoon, and the preparations are made for the conclave. All the per isons who are to remain in the con- clave—as prelates, custodians, attend- ants on the cardinals, physicians, bur- bers, masous—are passed in review and ‘take an oath not to speak eten among themselves of matters concerning the election.

In our letter of last week, we called your attention to the would be "Smart Man" who wanted to know from us how he was to be helped materially by connecting himself with the business men in the community, in trying to furnish more and better places of employment for this army of young men and women who are coming from the various schools and colleges from year to year. In commenting on this part of our letter, one gentleman said, that narrowness, littleness and down-right selfishness were some of the basic draw backs which confronted the average Negro in his business crisis, and in many cases, had proven to be a body of death about his business neck. We, as the child race in this country, have not the time, and, indeed the thoughtful element among us have not the disposition to find fault and register groundless complaints against each other, as to invidious comparisons with those of other races who have had hundreds, yea, thousands of years of civilization and training in business. Therefore, when we take into account that many of our people have been taught to mistrust and doubt the ability of the men and women in business to carry out their agreements, and when we can find loyal members of the race who, in spite of such teaching and giving to their own kith and kind the lion's share of their patronage, then, we should rise up and say, in one voice, and in thunderous tones, "Surely the Negro is coming into his own." An Appeal to the Young Men of the Race The weekly meeting of the Republican Progressive Club is held each Tuesday night for the purpose of getting men to pay their taxes. To be loyal citizens our men should pay their taxes; to be qualified voters men should pay their tax; it is only required that ($1:00) one dollar a year be paid as a good citizen. It is better to pay your tax voluntarily than wait until you are made to do so. Come and join the Republican Progressive club which meets Tuesday night, September 1st at 817 West Broad street.

As a proof of this statement, permit us to call your attention to one of our local business men, yea, a live wire too, who was willing to make the sacrifice and lose the time away form his lucrative business, which business is absolutely dependent upon the guiding hand of a level headed genius in this particular line. We refer to our honored townman, Mr. G. H. Bowen, who represented the interest of the local Negro business league of this city, of which he is a valued member, before the National Negro Business League in the city of Muskogee, Okla. L.L. James, Jr., president first district branch. St. Paul Church Last week was indeed a great one with St. Paul C. M. E. church. The anniversary exercises were rich with good expressions coming from the different members of the church. The paspurposed a general discussion for siz nights, "How to make the church go and grow; and what am I willing to do?" This subject swept over the entire membership. They discussed it for six nights for forty minutes. Each member was given 4 minutes and well did they volunteer to put in a word. The two Sunday schools, Asbury and Palen, with pastors and teachers gave a very helpful program Sunday afternoon. Sunday night closed the program. Among the contributors other than our regular members were: Mrs. M. Philips Styles of Milledgeville, Miss Ruth Irwin, Holy Springs, Miss., and Mrs. H. Blair of this city. This plain and practical business man, carried to the National Negro Business League something worth while, and as a natural consequence, he got in return something worth while. Mr. Bowen filled to the point of running over with enthusiasm, energy and ginger which one is bourd to receive when he attends regularly the meeting of this local branch of Seaboard Air Line Railway "The Progressive Railway of the South" 3:30 A.M.
