It tells of the marked progress made by the institution during last year and special at- tention is called to the important Tmanent improvements which ae now under construction. In reference to the opinion 4i prominent southern white peo- ple towards Tuskegee and sim- ilar institution it says “Indeed not a few of the most prominent white people in the South have expressed their opinion both in privaté and in’ public that both races in the south are constantly indebted to these institutions for newer and better methods of edu- cation.” At tlre close of the school term, May 1914, it is shown that there was a total enrollment of 1,527— 896 men and 631 women, who came from 32 states and territor- ies and 17 foreign countries, or colonies of the foreign countries, and that in addition to the attend- ance in the institution proper, the average attendance at the child- ren’s House and Training School, was 201; the Agricultrial short course was 275. and the average attendance during Summer School last year was 412. Of the permanent improve- ments that the school has under- taken the most important ones: the power distributor and fire protection system, including wire- ing of buildings and grounds; buildings for new power plants, pete. 3 power piping-and steam con- duits; sewerage system and dis- posal plant; ice plant; cold stor- age plant and railroad extension. The water supply and fire pro- tection system has been complet- ed, but, it is stated, must soon be enlarged. It is estimated that the total cost to lay out the system will be $274,612.00, of which amount $166,071.31 has been re~ ceived or promised, with the re- mainder to be secured. Since the last meeting of the trustees, the school received $15,~ 000,00 from a friend with which ‘to erect and equip a new Jaundry building, and $3,000.00 from two. friends in New York to build and: equip a new canning factory, $r0,-| 000.00 have been received from a friend with which to establish ten memorial scholarships. The endowment fund of the in- stitution now amounts to $1.942,- 112.08, and it is pointed out by Dr. Washington that at least $3,- 000,000.00 ought to be added to this fund as a temporary of per- manent endowment. A total of 3,637 individuals have contributed in cash or material gifts to the institution, and 451 organizations have made contri- butions. This is an increase of 287 over last year. Of the total number of individuals who have given, 849 were colored people. During the recent commencement graduating classes from 1894 to 1904 held reunions and from this source $2,359.50 was contributed to the school. A very significant paragraph in the report reads: “The disposition of the colored peo- ple in all parts of the country to make contributions towards the support of tlie school is growing. The amount of ‘such gifts are small and the cost of getting them Is large; nevertheless, it ‘Js thought to be worth while in the in- terest’ of educating the race in the di- rection of self-help. “Some of our present and most ‘urgest needs are as follows: “30 a year for annual scholarships for tuition for one student, the student himself providing for his own board and other personal expenses in labor and cash, $1,2000 for permanent schol- arships, money for operating expenses in any amount, however small; $1,500 : 7 Jo z ‘ . w ; gh gs Spe a Be ee 4 a Rac ae ace Ot eS B.. eee ee ERY Penn PPAR Ep ae eer Kew hty .

A. Shaw at Funeral Yesterday The greatest tribute to a color- ed citizen in the history of Bruns- wick was that paid to the memory of the late C. A. Shaw yesterday, The little church where for many years in the goodness of his heart, without thought of reward and without pay, he has preached the gospel.of eternal life to the members of his race, could not hold a tenth part of those who had gathered to pay their last re- spect to the dead. In a reserved section were se- veral of the leading white citizens of the community, -while around the church were hundreds of col- ored people-of Brunswick-and vi- cinity, many in tears, sympathy and grief showing in their hushed manner, standing with bared heads and lips moving in silent prayer as the casket, literally cov- ered with beautiful flowers and floral designs was carried out, Every available vehicle in Brunswick, including several private conveyances loaned for the occasion was called into ser- vice for the funeral cortege, both sides of Norwich street for blocks being lined with sorrowing peo- ple as it passed on the way to the cemetery. This “demonstration of love and reverence on the part of the colored ‘people, and honor and re- spect on the part of the white people, should teach the lesson of right living to the colored race in Brunswick. C. A. Shaw, a resident of Bruns wick for 30 years, held the friend- ship and respect of all who knew him. He rose above his race in mind and accomplishment, but never forgot his color, he preached the doctrine of friend- ship, not equality between the races. Honest and upright, a Christian in thought and deed, he worked unceasingly and un- selfishly, for the betterment of his people by whom he will be sorely missed, and who, but now, are beginning to realize their loss in his death. Against his slayer there is a silent bitter hatred that argues ill for the man who “bit the hand that fed him” un- less justice be swift and sure— The Brunswick News. Cards of ‘Uhanks. Mrs. T. H.

The First District Agriculture and Industrial Fair which is to be held in this city November 18-28 is attracting much attention in this and adjoining counties and the affair gives promise of being the most successful exhibit of the kind ever held in this city. The grounds on which the fair will be'held are a short distance south of the city, on the Isle of Hope car line. Entrances will be jon the car line and on the Waters road. Arrangements with the Savannah Electric Company have been completed to run cars inside the fair grounds and no inconven- tience in getting to the grounds will be experienced by those who attend the fair. ~ The Agriculture hall, Poultry Exhibit and Floral buildings have been under construction for some time and are now near comple- tion. These buildings are all spa- cious and compare favorably with those of other fairs of similar size. . The exhibition, of courey is [mainly to show the value of crops and the kind of live stock raised in this and adjoining coun- ties and no expense is being spared to make the showing in this respect creditable, yet the other features of the fair, such as horse races, amusements and the like have by no means been slight- ed. There will be a half mile race track on which some spirited brushes among some of the lead- ing race horses of this section will be seen. A midway 2,000 feet long with thousands of elec- tric lights, two or three free shows and numerous attractions dear to the hearts of the kiddies. It is anticipated that at feast 50,000 persons will visit the city during the ten days the fair is running. Many of the adjoining counties will send exhibits to the fair, among them Beaufort coun~ ty, S. C. which expects to send a large exhibition of the products raised there. Substantial premiums will be offered the various agricultural and industrial exhibitors and it is expected that some of the fin- est produce raised in the South will be attracted by the handsome prizes. Hundreds of Negro farmers will probably take advantage of witnessing the fair and the man- agment wishes it understood that the colored people are in- vited and are asked to patronize i ees eee: .

Meet. tan District of the Amatéur Ath- etic Union have attracted wide- spread attention, and should a corresponding’ progress be made by them in the next three or four years many laurels now won by white athletes will pass into the keeping of Negroes. This suc- cess has been more noticeable during the last month than at any other time, and the fact that four titles were won by colored ath- letes at the recent small clubs championship, and Negroes were prominent in the point table of the Metropolitan title meet, has caused a flutter of excitement among the registered athletes in the A. A. U. Nor is the present crop of Negro runers likely to suddenly cease, for there | are many promising colored boys in the public schools of Greater New York, . Up to the present the colored athlete has devoted his attention to track events, especially in the sprints and middle distances, but with the growth of colored ath- letie clubs capable trainers will be secured and with systematic de- velopment in long distance events will be certain to bring out long- distance runners and candidates for field honors. The Negro’s proficiency in athletics have be- come a source of much Specula- tion and discussion in athletic clubs. From the days of William Mor- ris of Pennsylvania, who was one of the best milers in college ranks twenty years’ago, up to the pres- ent time-a number of the best athletes in’ the A. A, U. ranks have been representatives of the colored ‘race. John B. Taylor of Pennsylvania was the greatest quarter-miler in his day. Crable, the colored weight thrower at Harvard, enjoyed a national rep- utation. Howard Drew, former- ly of the Springfield High School, now a student at the University of Southern California, is regard- ed as probably the equal of Ap- plegarth of England; Dismond, formerly of the Smart Set A. C. of Brooklyn, is one of the best quarter-milers in Western Col- lege athletic ranks, while many others of lesser note have earned prominance by thmir speed on the cinder path. Due to the efforts of the late james E. Sullivan, Secretary- reasurer of the A. A. U., there has been a great revival of ath~ étic interest in the Southern schools, and with those in the Fast the struggle for athletic supremacy in a few years hence may be between white and col- ored men. . Many of the colored athletes yrominent in athletic circles were zraduated in public schools in Greater New York, but unlike jormer years, when promising olored ‘athletes received little -onsideration or encouragement, he student upon graduation can 1ow join 2 colored athletic or- yanization and continue to com- yete. There are three Negro thletic clubs in the metropolitan listrict, which are making rapid strides in the athletic world, and scarcely an open meet is now 1eld that does not find represen- atives of these clubs im the list yf competitors. These organi- rations are the Salem-Crescent 4. C. and St. Christopher’s Cub »9§ New York and the Smart Set \. C. of Brooklyn. One of the most important in- loor athletic meets of the winter season is held under the auspices of the Smart Set A.

The Negro business men of the city were, honored Iast week by a visit of two of the best known Negro insurance men in the coun: try, C. C. Spaulding, vice presi- dent and general manager of the North Carolina Mutual’ and Pro~ vident Association, and Be. Bo Wheeler, state agent of Ga., for the company. The visitors who were on a tour of inspection of the various agencies of the company arrived here on Friday morning of last week and,, after inspecting the affairs of the local branch, of which J. H. Whiti8 is superinten- ent, were shown a few places of interest in the city. The condi- tion of the local office was found, to be excellent and second in the state by a very small margin to that of Atlanta. ~ ° Friday evening the visitors were the guests at the regular meeting of the Negro Business League, where they were heart- ily received by about forty-five of the leading Negro business men, of the city. Both of the visitors‘ spoke in glowing terms of the hospitality and cordial greeting afforded them by such a large gathering of representative busi- ness men and also of the inestima-~ ble value such an organization must be to racial progress in Sa- vannah. | Immediately after the meeting of the business league, the local force of the North Carolina Mu- tual and Provident Association tendered the visitors a banquet at the Worth While Cafe, oppo- site the Pekirt theatre, at whch plates were set for twenty-four. The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning among those present being some of the leading men of ‘the city. The cafe was beautifully decorated. for the occasion and the affair was one of much enjoyment. J. C. ‘Lindsay, superintendent of the local office of the Uniow Mutual Association, acted as toast master. The guests were all seated at one long table, Messrs Spaulding and Wheeler sitting to the left af the toast master. The supper was of ten courses and was personally served by J.J. Patterson, the proprietor. In his characteristic manner, Toast Master Lindsay kept the evening full of humor and twelve of the guests including Messrs Spaulding and Wheeler, respond- ed to the call for\epeeches. One of the visitors spoke on industri- al insurance while the -other talked in general about the busi- ness aspect of the race. The North Carolina Mutual is the largest Negro insurance com- pany in the world, doing business in three states. North and South Carolina and Georgia. It was established 16 years ago with headquarters in Durham, N. C., and to day has more than $4,000,- 000.00 worth of insurance in ef- fect. In this state there are ten agencies, the local force having offices .at 817 West Broad street and using agents to the number seven. Aside from the industrial policies, the company issues straight life and twenty year en- dowment policies. Messrs Spaulding and Wheeler left last Saturday. Those who attended the banquet were: C. C. Spaulding, J. L. Wheeler, J. C. Lindsay, H. T. Singleton, L. L. James, F. D. Tucker, S, A. Grant, Dr. C, B. Tyson, Dr. B. W. S. Dan- iels, G. H. Bowen, Dr. N. W. Este, The Great War In Europe a Fulfillment of Prophecy (By Elder J. W. Manns) The armies of heaven will meet the armies of earth during the great Armageddon to be fought in Palestine * * and that hour has nearly struck. The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39, in which Russia is mentioned, it will be clearly seen, that she will eventually lead the armies of the world into Palestine, for which a final reckoning with Mohammedanism, the common enemy of Christianity, and that the final battle of this world's history will be fought. The present European war is a preparation for Armageddon. The present struggle has burst upon Europe with cyclonic fury. The tremendous war preparations, increasing armaments, improvement in all sorts of death dealing instruments, and at the same time, the death-like stillness have been like the hush which presages the coming storm. A week before the present war broke none except those acquainted with government secrets knew the great conflict was coming so suddenly. It was a bolt of lightening out from a clear sky. What is the end? The scriptures are not silent upon this most heart-thrilling subject. Speaking of Turkey, the King of the North; Daniel 11:44-45 says, "Buttidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas, in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." The very next event, as given in the next verse, is the taking of the kingdom by Michael or Christ. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was seen since there was a nation even to that time: and at that tiny thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Ultimately Turkey will be driven to Jerusalem. How much longer God will hold the winds of strife I cannot say; only God himself knows. But the whole world has prepared for the terrible final world battle. We are rapidly approaching the time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. It is well that our lives are such that our names can be written in the Lamb's book of life in heaven. Have you made your peace with Go!?" Many belieye that this international cataclamm of the nations will have so stricken them for war that they will then "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into prunning hooks." Such men as David Starr Jordan, William Jennings Bryan and Andrew Carnegie have been assuring the world that our civilization has reached the point where another great war would be impossible. The present gigantic struggle is sufficient to contradict the theory of these sirens of peace. Daniel 7:27, Daniel 2:44 and Revelation 11:15-18 definitely proclaim that "the kingdom, and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." They also definitely say that when the kingdom of God is set upon this earth the kingdoms of this world will be destroyed, absolutely, as in Daniel 2:44 and Revelation 11:15-18. At Christ's return, says the Bible, the nations will be angry and God's wrath is come, "and the time of the dead that they should be judged, and that thou shoudest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and destroy them that destroy the earth." Therefore the popular idea that Christ will reign on this earth in conjunction with civil government, with the mere change of placing Christians in office, is as far from the truth as midnight from mid-day. Daniel 2 and 7 shows the course of empire: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome. Rome was split into 10 divisions, three of these were uprooted by an ecclesiastical power, which continued 1260 years in harmony with prophecy. This was from 538 to 1798. From 1798 A.D. to 1870 Rome weakened. From 1870 to 1903 a turn came for the better, and at the death of Leo 13 in 1903 Rome's influence among the nations had so strengthened that no European nation nor even the United States, dared reckon in political matters without reference to her interests. Russia has desired Constantinople for 1,000 years, Britain opposed her until the Russa-Japanese war and the treaty of peace at Portsmouth. Her opposition has now ceased. But Russia must reckon with Germany and Austria, Germany possesses a railroad from Scataria in Asia Minor to Bagdad on the Euphrates. The cry has been "Anatolia (Asia Minor) for Germany." Russia has responded that she would spill every drop of Russian blood rather than allow Germany to have Asia Minor. Therefore, in this present war as the odds seem to be largely against Germany and Austria, it would seem probable that the plan cherished by Russia for more than 1,000, and especially since the time of Peter the Great, is ab out to be realized.

St. Mary's Dots The 30th anniversary edition of The Savannah Tribune was unique and the staff deserves much credit for same. It contained much news of interest and brought to mind many scenes of childhood in dear old Savannah to former Savannahians. The trustees of the public schools have accepted the school building from the contractor. The school moved from Harris' Hall on Monday October 19, to the new location. The teachers and pupils are much pleased with their new surroundings. The enrollment has reached 92 so far, which makes the prospects bright for the new season. If pleasant weather is a sign of happy life after marriage, the couple that were married Sunday afternoon October 18, in the persons of Miss Terrella Tompkins of Jeffersonton, Ga., and Mr. Andrew Byrd of St. Mary's, Ga., will have a fair sail. The wedding took place at the bride's perants Mr. and Mrs. Lee Armstrong. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white chiffon over satin and carried a bouquet of white Arabian jessamines. Miss Nevada Byrd, sister of the groom, was maid of honor. Rev. Moses Hamilton officiated. The many friends of the couple wish them much happiness in their new adventure, - Rev. H. H. Robinson held peace services at the M. E. Church and collected the relief fund in absence of the pastor, Rev. Wallace. The ladies of the Cemetery Association presented the trustees of the school with a pump to be used on the school grounds. Rev. S. C. Roberts of Brunswick, Ga., is in town on his annual visit, looking after his peacan crop. We are always glad to welcome Father Roberts home. Rev. Berry, P. E., of the A. M. E.

The figures show that the percentage of illiteracy in the rural districts of Georgia is 9.5 and 3.4 percent in the cities and villages of the State. Georgia has 389,775 illiterates and 338,018 of them live on the farms. There are 174,811 boys and men and 163,207 girls and women'on the farms of this State that can neither read nor write. Bee Business Buzzing Georgia bee-keepers have just completed gathering 1914 honey crop. According to the Bureau of crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture, the yield per colony of bees was 30 pounds. In 1913 the production per hive was also 30 pounds. The latest census figures of the bee and honey industry of this state relate to 1910. That year there were 23,167 farms in Georgia that kept bees and the total number of colonies was 130,549.

C Among the Masons WORTHY AND WELL QUALIFIED Master of Masons am I not, But master of myself am I? And while God's truth shall bind my, Life's threats will idly pass me by. Master and Craftsmen, learn this truth, Heedless of those who plot or rave, Clad in spotless apron, greet. Your Lord of the Work beyond the grave. "RAILROADING" OF CANDIDATES. I have heard much in Masonic lodges and grand lodges and have read much in Masonic literature of the "abuse of the black-ball." Permit me to say that I have never yet known a single instance where the blackball was abused or wrongly cast. You, brother editor, may know of such cases, as may peraps many of your readers. I lh but speaking of my own experience. I have known of petitions rejected, when for the time there seemed to me no good reason why the applicants should have been denied entrance to the craft. But always later information or a further knowledge of the applicant has convinced me that some brother, better informed than myself, stood guard faithfully at the portals of the lodge. I have, therefore, a little impatience when friends of those who are disappointed, or Masters eager to beat the record on "work" performed, declaim so mournfully on spite and prejudice and injustice. There is never an injustice in barring the way to one who seeks admission to the fraternity. No right of his has been infringed if a brother, for reason good or bad, sees fit to deny the privilege. The mere fact that one has signed a petition and has the necessary number of dollars does not invest him with any shadow of Masonic right. The investigating committee may have reported unanimously in his favor, and his character may be beyond-reproach. But to some brother this applicant may not be desireable—call it prejudice if you want to. He casts the black ball and the petition is rejected. Has the brother done a wrong, for which he is to be criticised and belabored with verbal bludgeons? I say not. The lodge is his home, and if for any reason that seems good to his mind he refuses to receive another into the family circle, he acts entirely within his rights. Discord is seldom brought into a lodge by the casting of a blackball. That unhappy condition is brought about later by those who take it on themselves to nose into the matter, who strive to destroy the secrecy of the ballot box, who impute motives and sting with inuendoes. It is not in human nature, even when veneered with Masonry, to bear these things unmoved. The goaded one may —sometimes does—seek his revenge by balloting against the friends of those annoying him in secret. And the condition of such a lodge, is indeed, pitiabie. I would rather see an applicant blackballed in my lodge than know of one "whitewashed" by the efforts of his friends or those who think "we need the money." For after a while the whitewash flakes off, as is the nature of such superficial applications. And the lodge is after that cursed with the presence of one who should never have passed the tyler. Worse by far than blackballing are the methods adopted in some lodges—not yours or mine, of course—to squeeze in men who their friends have reason to believe may fail of entrance if the usual and open plan is adhered to. What a previous preaching of the evil of the blackballing! What attempts made to keep a knowledge of the petetion from those suspected of any opposition! What a canvassing of those present on the fateful nigot, and the committee "not ready to report" if the suspects are present and intelligently interested! What a striving to find out, or guess, how this one or that one balloted! And if, after all these precautions, the ballot is reported clear, there is an undignified scramble to get out and hustle the petitioner to the lodge at once. The first degree is hurriedly given, that, no possible objection by an absent brother may interfere. If Masonry is not cheapened by such chicanery my estimate of the fraternity is all wrongi A man pushed through be such methods may turn out all right, but the conception of Masonry possessed, by those implicated in thus "railroading" a candidate is not just what I would like to know obtained in my lodge.—T.

PHONE 2171 OUT OF TOWN ORDERS GIVEN SPECIAL ATTENTION Let us dwell for a moment upon our symbolism. Few of our brethren fully realize the grandeur and significance of this inheritance and possession of the craft, which is the most exalted and inspiring that has ever engaged the thought of man. Otlier guilds and crafts have risen and flourished for a time, with initiatory ceremonies whose phraseology was connected with their handicraft, but none other save the building art could have finished such a wealth of terms capable of moral application and in harmony with our conception of the creative work of the universe. The symbolism of Masonry thus stands pre-eminent above all other. It has its foundation in truth and is, therefore, eternal and unchangeable. It is a priceless heritage from the fathers who chose the Builders for its ideal and the temple as living stones as its work and the aspirations of human endeavor. Despite the contention of some Masonic writers and even members of our guild, we believe that the speculative era of Masonry antedates by many centuries the formation of the premier Grand Lodge in 1717.—The Globe.

Published Every Saturday 1009 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 The Tribune welcomes The Athens, Ga. Clipper into the journalistic field and extends to Editor Griffin its best wishes for a long and prosperous life for the North Georgia paper. The death of Aida Overton Walker, the premier actress and most widely known artiste of our people, removes from the footlights one of the most remarkable characters the theatrical world has ever produced in many years. Aida Overton Walker began her stage career some fifteen yeras ago under the most ordinary circumstances. It was not long however before the play promoters saw in her the making of a theatrical star of the very first magnitude. In almost every role which she has played for the past dozen years she has proven a veritable thrill to the large and critical audiences which she has faced in the great cities of the north and west. In her work abroad, she proved herself to be none the less the star that she was in her own native country. Quiet, unassuming and genteel in her manners both on and off the stage, she was a credit to the profession which she selected as her life work. Her stage work will stand as a monument to Negro brain and ability in stage work. Now that she has left us, the theatre goers of both races must realize that a foremost performer of the art which they love so well, is no more. Dead though she be, yet she will not be soon forgotten. Her role in such companies as the Williams and Walker and the Red Moon companies will linger within their memories long, long hereafter. Gone though she be, there is every reason to hope that peace be to her ashes. Long live the memory of Aida Overton Walker, the race premier artiste. May some other take up the good work which she has so eminently established. That the promoters of the Young Men's Christian Association recently organized among us are expending their energies along the proper channel cannot be gainsaid by anyone. That they should receive the undivided support of all of us who have the welfare of the race at heart and especially our young men, ought not to be a question with anyone. We believe that if there is any one institution which ought to have its existence among us it is a Young Mens' Christian Association. Crowded as our streets are with idle young men of seeming promise, whose apparent disinterestedness in any and everything save that which smacks of a frivolity of the lightest and most questionable kind, there can be no doubt that there is a place among us for a well organized and well directed Young Men's Christian Association. We do not hesitate to say that a Young Men's Christian Association is badly needed among us. Yes, very badly needed. And now that we have our commodious and imposing Carnegie library building on the East Side, we look forward to an early day when a commodious and imposing Y.M.C.A. structure will grace one of our West Side thoroughfares. In the absence of a suitable place for comradeship, it can but be expected that our young men will seek companionship in the pool rooms, on the street corners and other places whose offered attractions and attractiveness are without competition. A real Young Men's Christian Association, not a makeshift, will offer to them such attractions and inducements as will eventually cause these pool rooms and the like to relinquish this hold upon them. Yes, we have the place as well as the young men for the building up of a first class Young Men's Christian Association. The opportunity to have one is now. Thanks to the promoters of the present one that they are putting forth an effort in this direction. The Tribune is indeed proud to see the present effort of the young men to organize such a movement. It stands ready at all times to lend a helping hand in any way that it can to make the present effort of the Y. M. C. A. promoters a success in every sense of the word. Not only do the Negroes of Savannah rejoice over any distinction which one of their number may gain, but they are also pleased to note any honor that comes to their white friends. The honor conferred this week upon the Hon. P. W. Meldrim by the American Bar Association in selecting him as their president gives the citizens of this city much delight, both white and black. We believe, knowing Mr. Meldrim as we do, that the American Bar Association could have selected no better man as their president. General Meldrim is a man of high standing and one who well merits the honor the association has bestowed on him. He has always shown himself to be kindly disposed to our people and we are very much elated at his selection as head of lawyers of the country. Editorial Notes Modern civilization is not helped in the least by the war now going on in Europe and the killing by Christians of each other. The heathens in foreign lands will look askance at the civilization our missionaries are offering through Him who is crucified. Nick Chiles, of the Topeka Plaindealer, has sent a telegram to President Wilson asking him to designate a day of prayer for the lynchers. Nick is trying to keep alive the question that A. Rustem Bey raised and which greatly nettled this country. And the black man is holding his own and making himself felt in the European war. The Colored man is always "in it." Of all the Christian denominations, the Catholics are more Christ like in that they are more liberal toward the Colored brother. For years we have been reading about the horrors in the rubber fields of the Congo Free State, Africa, owned by Belgium and its perpetuation or approval by the then King Leopold of Belgium. Now Belgium is being devastated, its royal family and a greater part of its army have been driven to foreign climes. You may call it retribution if you wish, and we will fully agree with you. The Negro can make good in the agricultural field as well as he does in others. For the mass of our people agricultural propagation is the thing for them, Properly managed it means independence, wealth and health. Go into it intelligently. Teach your children about race ideals. Hold up to them the achievements of our successful men. This will give them inspiration and a determination to become useful. It is a pleasure to meet the uncomplaining man or woman, but deliver us from the grouch. Carry with you always a spirit of optimism. You will thereby help yourself and be of untold benelit to others. It is entirely too prevalent among a certain class of our people of both sexes, to use a knife for the slightest provocation. This is noted generally from cases, before the Recorder's court. At night the boys and girls should be at home preparing their lessons for school the next day. Such a habit will benefit them in a literary way, and too, helpful to their little bodies and cause them to imbibe a spirit of love for home and its fireside. Our people are too prone to seek after pleasure to the detriment of their health and their pocket books. Teach our children in early life to save the pennies that are given them rather than spending them for trifles. A youthful habit is obstinate and difficult to break in older days. During the past several weeks we were asked by several deserving persons for work in our office or assistance in getting them work. Many of them are capable and most of them deserving. It was very difficult for us to say to them that we could give them no employment. What is true with us is also true with every colored man in business. This condition could be helped by our people. They have the key to the situation. Let each of them patronize in an unstinting way all of our colored men in business, the result would be, an increased business and when the business is increased naturally more help will be needed and then our deserving boys and girls will be given employment. If you want your boy and your girl to be employed, do individual duty by patronizing our men in business. Efficiency is the necessary thing in every calling. Young men should inculcate this quality and add to it faithfulness. Success then will be assured No class of business in this city is better known and more firmly established than our banks. Despite this fact they find the great need of advertising. And it is necessary for them to do so. A great lesson from this can be gotten by our men in business. They must not think because they are colored all they have to do is to sit supinely by and the people will flock to them without the least inducement. Some have already found out that they are mistaken in this respect. If they want to succeed they must advertise. They must let the people know what they have for sale. They must hustle and induce the people to trade with them. The most effective way to do this is through the columns of the newspaper. To be a success be an advertiser. If you fail to advertise, your business will surely fail, then you will blame the race for non support. Advertise. Our advice to every young man is to secure a piece of property on which to erect a home. A well directed crsade should be made in order to induce every colored man, especially those who have children in school, to pay a poll tax of one dollar a year. On every side this question should be agitated. The father who has a child in the public school and fails or refuses to pay this dollar a year, should hold his head in shame, and too, should be ostracised. The Grand Jury in its presentments on Monday recommended the erection of a new building for the Maple and West Broad street schools. This recommendation meets the hearty approval of all of us, and it is hoped that the Board of Education will become cognizant of it and at an early date plan for the work. With the proper kind of building both at the West Broad and Maple street schools, hundreds more of children could be accommodated. The Good Work of Rev. Dr. Taylor in Savannah, Ga.. Mr. L. M. Pollard, senior warden of St. Stephen's Church, Savannah, Ga., writes us an exceedingly interesting letter, and although a personal one, he has kindly consented to publication. He says: "Although one year has passed since I wrote you asking that you recommend or rather suggest some one to take charge of St. Stephen's Church Savannah, Ga., after the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Bright, I want to thank you for suggesting so Godly and such a thoroughly Christian gentleman as Rev. Dr. J. L. Taylor, whom we were so fortunate to secure. Mr. Taylor has been with us about nine months and during this Brief period has endeared himself not only to the members of his congregation but to christians of all denominations, both black and white. St. Stephen's is self-supporting and under Dr. Taylor's leadership has been able to meet her current expenses and all appointments, the only outside aid was ten dollars given as a Christmas offering by a faithful white friend of the Parish. Dr. Taylor organized a Men's Club which hopes to do a good work for the church. They (the Men's club) held a bazaar during the month of May and realized about six hundred dollars ($600.00), which they hope to use towards the purchase of a parish house. At First A. B. Church, Monday Night, Nov. 9, 1914 Under the Auspices of the USHERS ASSOCIATION and LADIES AUXILIARY. Refreshments of all kinds will be served. The Easter offering this year was one of the largest ever taken up in the church. The services are hearty and well attended. At the visitation of the Bishop in April a class of thirty-three persons, the largest ever presented, was presented for confirmation. Only a few weeks ago Dr. Taylor was the choice of a Baptist minister to join in holy matrimony his daughter and in a Baptist church. Dr. Taylor is a lively member of the local branch of the National Negro Business League and was honored by them as speaker at the Emancipation celebration on January 1st. He is a member of the Urban League on Conditions Among Negroes, he has secured through the Bishop, the Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, quarters for them which are being fitted up in St. Augustine's building. He was instrumental in giving the old folks of the city an outing at Cattle Park, where a fine dinner was served and a religious service held: I met only a few days ago a Mrs. Freeman, who operates a small business in what is known as the Old Fort, a locality thickly settle by our people (i. e. Negroes) and she told me of Dr. Taylor's generosity in that locality during the winter. How much money he had paid her for fuel to distribute among the poor. During a severe snow storm in January Dr. Taylor could be seen with buckets of soup looking up the poor and needy. His services are in demand everywhere and he is regarded as one of the most popular ministers of the city. He is a man of splendid personality and deep spirituality; a powerful speaker and an indefatigable worker. Not only St. Stephen's, but Savannah is proud of having such a man as Dr. Taylor in its community."—Church Advocate. In Memoriam M. REV. W. L. JONES, D. D. who departed this life Oct. 22, 1913.

Resolution on the Death of Charles Augustus Shaw Whereas, the Brunswick Educational and Protective League speaking for the citizens of Brunswick, believe that God, the all-wise and untainted providence, never finds pleasure in the sorrow of any of His children; that when, in the exercise of His will, our Almighty Father allows us to be affected, it is to teach us humility and also the greatness of his power, the practice and the recognition of which are the only real safeguards to the peace of our lives and the salvation of our souls: Whereas, further, we know that in the death of Charles Augustus Shaw, the bereaved family suffers a misfortune that is particularly crushing because of its peculiar untimeliness in addition to the loss of the tender devotion which the christian showered upon his loved ones. And whereas, we realize that the departure from our midst of this model citizen is an affliction to our community because we have lost there by the exceptional, daily example he set us as a public spirited man, benefactor to the needy and worthy exponent of human uplift: Be it resolved- That on Sunday, October the eighteenth, 1914, in our churches prayers be offered to God, praising His holy name, confessing our resignation to his will, and thanking Him for his splendid gift to us in the person of Charles Augustus Shaw, entailing the benefits that we have received from the activities of this christian gentleman in the interest of law and order and the general betterment of our community; That our profound sympathy, with copies of these resolutions, be extended to the bereaved family: That the citizens of Brunswick respond readily to any lawful call for the futherance of justice in the behalf of the deceased, this man of peace, or for contributions towards some worthy memorial in his honor; That the regular assembly of the Brunswick Educational and Protective League, November fourth, 1914, be a memorial meeting in honor of its late founder and president; And that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the League and copies of the same be sent for publication to the local newspapers and to the Negro periodicals read by the citizens of Brunswick.

FLEMING-WASHINGTON One of the most charming church weddings seen in Beaufort for years was that of Mr. M. Bliss Fleming and Miss Adella Serena Washington, which took place at the Tabernacle Baptist church on Thursday evening, October 15th. The church was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, many fragrant narcissus blossoms, pink carnations and Roman hyacinths which filled the church with the breath of spring. A beautiful arch was erected before the altar which was adorned with beautiful flowers. While the guests were assembling at the church a beautiful musical program was rendered by Miss Lottie Wright, organ- just, and Mr. Samuel Bryan, clarinetist. As the bridal party entered the vestibule of the church, "Oh promise me" was sung by Miss Jennie Wright. The wedding march from, "Lohengrin" was played as the procession came in. Mr. S. T. Powell of Tuskegee, Ala., and Mr. Morris Meyers, ushers, entered the church first, followed by the pretty little flower girl, Stella Douglas, handsomely dressed in white embroidered voile. Next came the bridesmaid, Miss Carrie Bush, with Rev. S. J. Rice, groomsman, cousin of the groom. She wore a gown of blue satin messaline. Next came the little ring bearer, Edna Moultrie. She wore a lovely dress of shadow lace over white silk. She was followed by Miss Joe Ella Williams, maid of honor, a niece of the groom, with Dr. C. S. Simpson, best man. She wore a beautiful gown of pink satin trimmed with fur. Next came the groom, followed by the bride gracefully leaning on the arm of her father, Hon. I. J. Washington. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white satin with shadow lace mingled with gold and trimmed with pearls. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. She was met at the altar by the groom. The Rev. D. W. Bythewood, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, assisted by Rev. Walker, pastor of F. A. B. church, performed the marriage ceremony. During the ceremony the "Flower Song" was played. The Wedding March, Mendelssohn, was played for the recessional. The reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. The presents received were numerous and handsome, many being from out of town friends. The bride and groom are both very popular here, the former being the accomplished daughter of the Hon. and Mrs. J. 1. Washington, while the latter is one of the leading young tinners of the city. They will be at home on Washington street after the 25th of October. Among the relatives of the groom attending the wedding were Miss Nettie Rarlor of Denmark S.

Negro Business League Weekly Letter—by J. C.Lindsay Every -mother’s son of us, whether we be engaged in business or any one of the many profes- sions which we may choose as our life’s work, or whether we be known in the community as the lowly and contrite, we owe it to the community of which we are 2 part to be in perfect harmony and accord with each and every inter- est which conceins all the poople. We should be so closely allied with the Negro bankers. Negro real estate men, Negro insurance men, Negro news paper men, Ne- gro merchants, and in fact every thing which tends to the uplift of this child race of which we area part until the other fellow will be compelled to lay aside his preju- dices long enough to say that the Negro, though handicapped ina good many instaaces, to say the least of it, isin harmony with their various community interests. Every Negro should believe in his Negro physicians, his Negro lawyers, and,in fact, be wiiling to allow every Negro business and professional man a fair chance to demonstrate his ability to deliver the goods. Then, after having given him a fair and impartial chance to make good, and should he fail to measure up to the twen- tieth century standard then say to him plainly, “Stand aside, for youthave been weighed in the bal- ance and found wanting, there- fore, Fam going to give yourgjob to another Negro,” This is exact- ly what the proud Anglo-Saxon is doing and will continue to do as Jong as they have business and professional men among them. NEGRO JEWELER Tt is indeed 2 pleasant sight to stand at the big show window and see our Negro jeweler, Mr. M. H. Mullincaux, repairing, to the sat- isfaction of the owner, some of the very finest gold watches and jewelry owned by our people. NEGRO LAWYERS Savannah is blessed in having five very high class men at the bar to look after the legal side of the Negro’s interest in this com- munity. Each of these men is fully prepared and is up*on his job, and only asks at the hands of their own a fair and impartial trial. EMANCIPATION DAY January first 1915 is less than ‘séventy days away and the Negro Business Lexgue, through this letter, wishes to know from the president and his intelligent exec- utive committee of the Emancipa- tion Association what steps have they taken, ifany, to make this day the greatest in the history of et OREO L HERE'S HL. _f sore FUN- - VGolwe ro) ted i .

The Negro Business League be- jieves that these distinguished gentlemen should: get busy and ‘begin to plan for a‘great celebra- ‘tion on that date and select some one srood strong ‘speaker to speak ‘to allofthe people at some one place. On Friday evening Obtober 16, the Negro Business League held ‘the banner meeting of any since its existence. Every seat in the ‘spacious headquarters was taken and several of the members had to remain standing. We had as our quests, Messrs. C.C.

Our next meeting will be held Wednesday evening November 4, 1914. Place—Wave Earners new Bank Building. Come and bring some one with you. The Auto in the Field‘ - It is quite a common sight in Georgia to see farmérs drive to to the harvest field in automo- biles. It takes solemn sum of money to buy un automobile and it takes good roads as well us gas- oline, to run them. A joy ride in the harvest fields of this State is one of the most exhilarating experiences that is available of this continent and onethat would charm a_tourisé und convince a _home‘seeker. A speedway lined with growing crops and blooded stock is a lands- cape that one seldom tours ina lifetime. In mapping out wato- mobile routes the Georgia har- vest fields should be given prowi- nent position, Why not a “See Rural America First” campaign? —— ~ The Town Pump - A good place to feel the pulse of civic life is at the public drink- ing trough. The ebb and flow of animal life as it quepches its thirst at the public fountain gives us an estimate of the wealth, pop- ulation and prosperity of the community; the character, habits and occupations of its pecple and the utility, pleasure ond hard- ships of its citizen. There is no better place to study the progress of the community than at. the town pump. Every village in Georgia should have a town pump and every city with -waterworks should have a drinking fountain where a stream of pure running water freely dis- penses Adams Ale to the thirsty populace. Pure water and plenty of it is a good community builder. / @ * | DO YOUR OWN SHOPPING , = \ Ree 39 Qin D», e «Onyx @ H yx” @ Hosiery | “Gives the BEST VALUE for Your Monéy . | Every Kind from Cotton to Silk, For Men, Women and Children | Any Color and Style From 25c to $5.00 per pair | Look for the Trade Mark!
