The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX URBAN LEAGUE CHRIS PASSES HUR SUBSCRIPTION·COMMITTEE MAKING A THOROUGH CANVASS OF CITY League Hopes to Make Many Indigent Persons Happy on Christmas Day—Strenuous Efforts Being Made to Surpass Record of Last Year—Many White Friends Contribute to Fund—Nearly One Hundred Subscriptions Received. Since the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes made known last week their plan to raise a Christmas fund this year to be distributed among the poor and indigent Negroes of the city, ninety-six subscriptions to the fund have been received, amounting to $132.00. Aside from the cash subscriptions already received there have been many who have signified their desire to give toys, clothing, bedding and provisions. The canvassing committee expects to wage a thorough campaign of the icty for funds and even though the time for making their final report is near, they expect to bring the total number of subscribers up to that of last year when four hundred and sixty seven persons and organizations donated to the cause. The committee is striving to have as many persons as possible contribute and will receive any amount, no matter how small. A special appeal has been sent out to most of the Negro lodges and societies in the city and several of them have already donated. Circular letters to the number of about five hundred have been sent out to friends and it is hoped that a large amount will be received from this source. Already the ladies of the league who will have charge of the distribution of provisions on Christmas eve day have been working, canvassing in their respective districts, and their search for the deserving poor will be complete by the middle of next week. Subscriptions to the fund may be sent to any one of the following places: Wage Earners Bank, Mechanics Bank, Scott Bros. dry good store, West Broad and Gwinnett, or the Savannah Tribune.

Three services in which social service and community betterment were emphasized were held last Sunday at the First Congregational Church. The speakers were Dr. Henry A. Atkins, sec'y of the Social Service Commission of the Congregational Church, Boston, Mass., and Dr. H. Paul Douglass, secretary of the American Missionary Association, New York. Dr. Douglass delivered a sermon in the morning full of interest and facts, calling to service every christian, and especially for them to take a broader view of their duty to others. The largest gathering of men ever held in the city was witnessed in the afternoon when Drs. Douglass and Atkinson delivered stirring addresses, and impressed upon the men their part of the work in the social uplift in the community. The men entered the service with zest, singing heartily and gave the speakers rapt attention. The appreciation of the addresses was given in the terse and pointed words of commendation to the speakers, delivered by Mr. J. M. Ferreebee in behalf of the Congregational Brotherhood and the visitors. At the evening service Dr. Atkinson was the speaker. The address was undoubtedly the best of the series, and it was directed mainly to the woman's part in social work. What he said was painted vividly to the minds of his hearers. The speakers have left an impression for social service that will no doubt result in much good for this community. Each of them spoke highly of and commended the work of the local branch of the Urban League. White Rose Court.....$2.00 Golden Star Lodge No.129.....$1.00 Armour H.

This work is carried on by the Margaret Bottome Circle of King's Daughters who support a visiting nurse for the purpose of looking after the poor of the city who have tuberculosis, colored as well as white. This nurse makes daily visits and helps to care for all persons of either race stricken with the dreaded disease. Every Red Cross Christmas seal which is sold, (and they cost only a penny a piece) is a help in carrying on this much needed work, as eighty per cent of the money from the seals sold in Savannah is used by the Circle in its fight against the disease which is such a menace to the good health of every soul in the community. The Circle through its nurse is in many cases able to help in the cure from the disease; and where a person is badly stricken helps to make them more comfortable with medicines and proper food. It is a known fact that anyone who is in the grip of this disease is most hopeful of getting well, and if it is taken in time before it has gone too far and curtain rules followed, particularly that of living in the sunshine and fresh air as much as possible, there is every hope of curing it. It is the main purpose of the national association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis, to help people who have it, and to help those not to contract it who have weak lungs or a tendency toward it. Among the colored race tuberculosis is particularly prevalent, and if each person who has it would do everything to help himself or herself and think of others in the contagion of the disease, it would be one of the greatest helps in the national fight against it. The United States statistics show that 500 people die daily from tuberculosis. In Savannah the report of the Magaret Bottome Circle shows that in five years out of 805 deaths from tuberculosis 607 were colored and 198 white. Does that not show the great necessity of helping those who are doing all in their power to fight the disease and stamp it out? Ever since the Circle started the tuberculosis work in this city the many cases it has helped, have more than proved the good it does, and its nurse in her unceasing work, which averages 2,000 visits a year, tries to help any and every one who will let her help them, teaching the ways to conquer the disease, giving the kindest help and care, and the proper nourishment and medicines. Will you help? In helping you help not only every man, woman and child, but you help yourself in keeping a menace down. The Red Cross Christmas seals at a penny each are on sale at most of the stores and at the post office and are particularly pretty this year with a Santa Claus head on them, and are most attractive to stick on Christmas presents. Surely many who read this will find they can spare a few cents at this Christmas season. Sacred Concert A sacred concert will be given at F. A. B. church, West Broad and Bolton streets, Sunday-Dec. 13th at 5:30 o'clock; some of the best talent of the city will participate and also Prof. Hubert will speak. It will be given under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. Things Shaping Up For Emancipation Things are shaping up nicely for the emancipation celebration that will take place on Friday morning, January 1st. Judging from the progress which the joint committee from the Chatham County Emancipation Association and the Emancipation Association has made the coming celebration will be one of the largest in recent years. The street parade is expected to be a mammoth one. The uniform rank Knights of Pythias and Knights of Damon will be out in full strength and will act as an escort to the civic and social clubs that will be in line. The clubs taking part in the parade are all to be assessed five dollars. All moneys left in the treasury after the expenses for the celebration have been met, will be donated to some designated charity. The address at the church, St. Philips, West Broad street, will be delivered by President Benjamin F. Allen of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. President Allen is one of the leading Negro educators of the country and is head of the Missouri State Teachers Association. He is a forceful speaker and one of the most illustrious sons of Savannah.

Admission 15 cents— "The best reader in America."—New York Age. By no means was the charity dispensed by Savannahians on Thanksgiving day confined to those who dwell within the boundaries of the city, as the boys on the Chatham County industrial farm will testify, for they were carried good cheer and an abundance of good things to eat by a committee of ladies from the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, known as the Willing Workers and Sunshine committee. There are sixty-four boys who through some violation of the law are confined on the farm and everyone of them was filled to the brim with the many enjoyable edibles the ladies had prepared for them. The dinner was served on one long table in the mess room of the farm, immediately after the boys returned to quarters from viewing the motorcycle races which skirted one end of the farm. As they entered the room their eyes were as big as small size lemons, as they looked upon the table laden with food, and their countenances showed clearly the enthusiasm which had taken complete possession of them. Hardly had the blessing been asked when they began devouring the bounteous supply of food which charitable citizens; by their contributions to the committee, had purchased. Scarcely could the boys restrain themselves from yelling out in gladness as they rapidly "put away" the good things. About midway the meal, there was a preceptible lull in the many expressions of happiness the boys were making. They were full. Then, to the boy they all were seen to rise in an inconspicuous manner, as they thought, stretch, take a hearty breath and then sit down and go at it again, for of course they could not pass up any of the good things before them. Finally they all finished and still there was much left on the table, so the ladies allowed them to "load up", as one little fellow expressed it, and they were passed out with their pockets bulging with apples, oranges, bananas and the like. After the dinner a little meeting was held in the school house and the ladies gave the boys a short talk, to which several of the boys then responded, thanking the ladies for the interest shown in them and for the sunshine and happiness brought into their lives by their many acts of kindness.

CHAMPIONSHIP REMAINS IN BALANCE AGAIN THIS YEAR. Haines Institute and Florida A. and M. College Go Undefeated—Of Schools Enumerated Six. Lost 1 Game; Seven Suffered 2 Defeats—Fisk. University Scores Largest Number of Points Against Opponents—Games on Whole Well Attended Surprises among the Negro schools of the country were many and fast during the foot ball season just closed and many were the instances when the opinion of the dopsters was found to be absolutely worthless and their much valued time in figuring out the comparative merits of opposing teams went for naught. As was the case last year, when the championship rested between Hampton, Fisk, Livingstone and Tuskegee, the result this year, so far as awarding the honors to any particular school, is just as mooted and the question will have to be left to those who delight in solving a matter which persons who are in the least busy with the weightier things of life are perfectly satisfied to pass up. Of the eighteen schools enumerated below six suffered one defeat each during the past season, and seven lost two games each. Fisk University played the heaviest scheduel of these schools and also scored the largest number of points against opponents, piling up 164 points while but 20 were scored against them. Not a single one of the leading schools succeeded in keeping their goal lines uncrossed by opponents, Talladega nearly turning the trick as only one team, Morehouse, scored on her. Upon this fact she bases her claim to the championship, but she will hardly be given much support by adherents of the game throughout the country on an argument of this nature, the honor being generally awarded on the strength of the absolute results of games won or lost, on which basis, she, Morehouse, Howard, Hampton, Alabama State Normal and Bennett College are all bunched together for first place, each having lost one game. It will be noted that Haines and Institute and Florida A. and M. College went the season without losing a game. Some might claim that they are deserving of first place, but the fact that neither of these schools met any of the real recognized leaders of the game among the larger schools denies them this honor. Haines Institute has gone five years with but one defeat while Florida has not lost a game in two years. Both teams have desired games with some of the larger schools but have been unsuccessful in securing them. Considering everything, the past season has been quite a success for Negro schools on the gridiron. The attendance at games has been much better than in the past and the teams on the whole showed better training. The following is the result of the games so far as we have been able to ascertain, upon which the dopsters of the game may frame many an argument: YES PA BUT MA SAID WE WAS GOING TO HAVE RABBIT DIDN'T I FORBID YOU BRINGING YOUR PETS TO THE TABLE SO I BROUGHT HIM ALONG IN CASE WE NEED HIM CAUSE HE'S A RABBIT DOG YES PA ITS YOUR FAVORITE DISH ROAST RABBIT DOES I LIFT DE LID-MRS SIMPLE?

The school has voted to conduct a one month campaign to complete its 500 enrollment. The method is that each member is expected to bring one new member. College Park Church The Sunday school officers and teachers for the coming year were elected on last Sunday. Those to serve are: Superintendent, Mrs. A. J. Rivers; assistant superintendent, Mr. G. D. Jenkins; secretary, Edw R. Jenkins; treasurer, Mr. R. H Thomas; teachers Messrs. M. D. Haines, G. D. Jenkins, J. W. Derrick, Miss M. E. Osten, Mrs. A. L. Simpkin; Librarian, Master M. C. Jenkins. The officers were installed by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Thomas. Second Baptist Church On tomorrow, (Sunday) the Rev. C. S. Brown of Winton, N.C., one of the leading educators and president of Waters Institute, a school for boys, will preach at both services on Sunday and administer the communion at 3:30 in the afternoon. As this is the last communion in 1914, it is hoped that a large and appreciative gathering will be present The public is cordially invited St. John's Church The Sunday school teachers' circle will have a musical and comic concert, admission 10 cents. The B. Y. P. U., meets at the usual hour, 7 o clock, every Sunday evening. Come out and hear some good singing. St. Benedict's Church. Our dear mother, the Church, wants us to attend mass and sermon every Sunday morning and if possible to be present also at the night devotions. Further she exhorts us to approach the sacraments frequently because they are the channels through which the grace of God flows to us abundantly. Last Sunday it was very edifying and impressive to see so many approach the communion rail for the reception of the holy eucharist. Nearly all the members of St. Mary's Aid Society had turned out in a body for holy communion. Such features of devotion should be repeated, first on the principal feastdays of the year, and then every first Sunday of the month. Our community would much improve as for their temporal and spiritual welfare. Next Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, will be Emberday and therefore are days of fast and abstinence. The Emberdays have been instituted to thank God each season of the year, for the benefits received during that season, and to remind us, each quarter of the year, of the duty of penance and mortification. A solemn ceremony of baptism will take place tomorrow night at 8 p. m.; three adults will be baptized and received into the church. On December 17th, the St. Benedict's Sewing Circle will hold a sale, in the basement of the church. Several articles left over from our last fair will be raffled. The proceeds will be for the benefit of St. Benedict's Church. Don't miss to be present, the sale opens at 3 p. m. and will last until 10 p. m. St. Mary's Christmas exercises will be held at St. Mary's Hall on January 4th. Buy a ticket and J. H. REV. E. D. DAVIS About four years ago the Rev. Mr. Davis was capped to the pastorate of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, which at that time had only fifty members. He soon proved himself of much service to the church which immediately began to take on new life and expand even beyond the expectations of the most ardent members of the church. Under his supervision, the church became widely known and in consequence a great increase in the membership has taken place. In fact it became necessary many months ago to secure a larger structure in which to hold service, hence the beautiful brick struc- help the school. It's only 20 cts. for adults and children. The feast of the Immaculate Conception was observed at St. Benedict's Church on last Tuesday the 8th of December. Two services were held at 6:45 and 8 a.m. Benediction of the blessed sacrament followed immediately after last mass. St. Philip's Dots The first communion services of the new conference year were held on Sunday. Rev. Capps preached at 11 a. m., and Rev. Singleton at 8:15 p. m. The live wire and wide awake clubs will have their rally on tomorrow, Sunday; every member must pay to their respective clubs. Mrs. Louisa Powell, one of St. Philips old and respected members, died last week and was buried at Bluffton, St. C., on Wednesday. St. Philip has lost a good member and she will be missed. A recital will be given at St. Philips on Thursday night December 17th, at 8 o'clock by Richard B Harrison, the leading reader of the race, admission 15 cents. If you want to hear something good, come out and bring your friends. The election of trustees of the church will be held on next Tuesday; December 15th Rev. Singleton made a trip to Sangerville, Ga., on Wednesday. The following services will be held on tomorrow Sunday: Prayer meeting 5:20 a. m.; preaching 11 a. m.; Sunday school 3:30 p. m.; A. C. E. League 7 p. m.; preaching 8:15 p. m.; weekly prayer meeting Tuesday night from 7 to 8, only one hour. First Bryan $ ^{+} $ Baptist Church Despite the inclement weather on Sunday, Rev. Wright was accompanied by many Nicholsonville, where he connocted the services of the Nicholsonmono Baptist Church of which he is pastor. After services dinner were served at several homes. They returned to the city late in the afternoon. At night, Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalms 1101-10. His text was from St. John 3:30. The subject was "He must increase." The chorus sang "When Jesus leads." The lesson c. by the B. X. P. U., was discussed by Mr. Byrd and Miss A. E. Scott. Our services are always interesting and beneficial. ·Butler Presbyterian Church Butler Presbyterian Church, corner McDonough and East Broad streets, Rev. S. T. Redd, pastor, residence 213 East Broad street. The celebration of the tenth anniversary of the pastor ended Sunday afternoon with an address and speeches, a solo by Misa Nettie Houston, and a duett by Mrs. Hattie Mitchell and Annie ture which he is erecting on Alice street between Jefferson and Montgomery and which will shortly be completed. The membership of the church is now in excess of six hundred and increasing every month. First Tabernacle Baptist Church is one of the best attended churches in the city and there is no doubt but that the new structure will prove a great incentive for the church to even surpass its past rapid growth. The new structure is 86 by 50ft, with a splendid basement. The main auditorium will seat about seven hundred and will be elegantly furnished. Jenkins. Despite the inclementy of the weather, the exercises each night were largely attended. At the morning service last Sunday the text was "Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us." At the evening service 8:30 p.m., "the fourth commandment" was impressively discussed. The Christian Endeavor meeting was largely attended and the topic interestingly discussed. A trio by Mrs. Manne Nelson, Miss Willoughby Stevens and D. F. Mack, also a duett by Mrs. Viola Gregory and Miss Viola Heyward were rendered. We wish to thank our many friends who visited us during our celebration and assisted us in making it a success. The decalogues will be continued. F. A. B. Church Rev. J. H. Jackson, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., who was in the city on a special mission,ably supplied the pulpit of the F. A. B. Church on last Sunday at each service. The weather was somewhat inclement during the entire day, yet there was a representative gathering at the communion service in the afternoon. His text at the 11 o'clock a.m., service was selected from Isaiah 6:7, theme "The Call of Isaiah," and at the 8 o'clock p.m., service from Hebrew 11:24, 25 and 26, theme "Moses choice." Both sermons were of a rich production and delivered with much force. The members were greatly edified and expressed much delight in hearing Rev. Jackson preach. Aside from the day being the communion day, it was also a rally day to raise funds to assist in renovating the church's parsonage, before calling a pastor who will in all probability occupy it. $225.55 was raised with but a small taxation on the members and the efforts of comparatively a few, considering the numerical strength of the church. With this amount and what the board of deacons and trustees have on hand the work will be undertaken as soon as bids are accepted. The drama given, on Wednesday night last, under the auspices of the Metoka class of the Sunday school, was a glowing success. The young men and women displayed rare talents for amateurs and deserve credit. On the eve of closing the year's work of the church, without a pastor, the officers are particularly gratified with the co-operation of the members that have by their team work, made it possible for them to meet all demands and still proclaim the church free of indebtedness. They take this method to express their gratefulness, and pray that the concerted efforts on their part will still manifest itself to them whilst seeking divine guidance to select another shepherd to lead them on from one degree of goodness unto another. You have a standing invitation to attend each service of the church. Whittier's Applause. In his declining years the poet Whitier was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote the poet's lines: Great applause greeted the quotation, and Whitier joined in the hand-clapping. "I suppose I must have had my mind on something else. I had no recollection of having written the verse," he said apologetically when his attention was called to the authorship The Rule of Three.

Wifey-John, you must tell the manager, and maybe he will give you extra pay for working overtime.-Boston Transcript. Lincoln's Companions. When Abraham Lincoln in 1860 sought solitude that he might write his inaugural address he asked his friend Herndon for a copy of the constitution, for Webster's reply to Hayne, for Jackson's proclamation against nullification and for Henry Clay's speech on the compromise on 1850.

A camel is never relieved of its load from the beginning of the journey to its end. It eats, walks and sleeps under its burden, often for weeks at a time.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. The present week marked the holding of the first city primary for the nomination of city officials. The result was the nomination of Mayor Davant and his entire aldermanic board. This means according to the new law, four years of municipal government under one administration. Ample opportunity therefore will be had by the administration to carry out almost uninterrupted, any contemplated reforms. That the present administration has made good and enjoys the esteem and confidence of the voters, is attested by the large complimentary vote given it on last Tuesday. And while our people were denied the privilege of expressing themselves at the polls on last Tuesday, we are none the less pleased to know that the voters in the primary were almost unaminous in their choice of city officials. As citizens and taxpayers of the city of Savannah, as renters on the largest scale, which make possible the large property holdings of our largest individual tax payers, as part of the population constituting forty thousand or more of the city's inhabitants, we take this method of congratulating the in coming administration. Meanwhile, we would ask that these forty thousand of us including our children, will not be forgotten when the establishment of playgrounds, the paying of streets in the Negro sections and other needed recreation and improvements are passed upon during the next four years. ____T____. Of unusual interest must it have been to every member of the race to note the startling facts concerning the living conditions of our people as brought out by Health Officer Brunner in the his recent comparative statement of the health conditions of the two races in Savannah. To know from no less an authority than Dr. Brunner who, by the way, never speaks in uncertainterms nor fails to let the public know in his reports where the fault lies for any unsanitary condition found in the city, that deaths among our people outnumber those among the whites practically three to one, is, without doubt, food for the most serious thought among those of us who have the welfare of the race at heart. Competent and reliable as he is, these facts as brought out by our health officer, stand on their merit. They cannot be gainsaid. We believe, as per the statistics given, that the death rate among our people is altogether too large, in fact; it is absolutely abnormal. That something must be done and at once to improve the health conditions among our people in order to decrease the sick and death rate among us, is unquestionally true. That we ourselves, since we are most vitally interested, should take the lead in such matter is also true. Thanks therefore to such a civic improvement organization as the Urban League, through which every effort is now being put forth to educate our people along lines of hygienic improvement, civic righteousness and otherwise. But, it must be remembered that we as individuals or as organizations cannot hope to accomplish all. Tis true that by organizing ourselves and by inaugurating such movements as 'clean up days' and the like, we could do a great deal toward having our people improve their condition and surroundings along lines of sanitation and health. Yet it must be remembered that we will in a certain degree be "lifting ourselves by our bootstraps," if the most emphatic hindrance against sanitary conditions, viz. the tenement houses and dirty, unpaved streets are to continue to characterize what is commonly known as Negro settlements. In our opinion, there will be very little decrease in the sick and death rate among our people as long as the building laws or rather, the lack of them, allow investors to erect such shacks for Negro habitation as have been and are now being erected and as long as our people are allowed to crowd these houses as they will. Then too, we are of the opinion that paved or macadamized streets where the bulk of our people live, will go a long way toward eradicating diseases among them as well as stimulating them to greater efforts along lines of cleanliness. There is no doubt that the sanitary condition among our people ought to be improved. Those of us who think have long realized this fact and have endeavored to work to bring about the needed improvement along such a line. We know that we owe a great duty to our people which we must perform. We are ready and willing to work. At the same time we would welcome such municipal co-operation and otherwise as will remove the insurmountable hindrances to our complete success Negro BusinessLeague Weekly Letter Negro BusinessLeague Weekly Letter (By J. C. Lindsay) --- Our men engaged in business in this particular community, where their sharpest competitors are members of another race, who have had years and years of training in the handling of the business of their chosen line, need to be congratulated for the able and competent manner that they acquit themselves before a critical and gainsaying public. The men, the Negro business men, are sparing no pains nor money to bring their business up to the high standard set by the foremost business men of the so called "superior (?) race," in that all of their fixtures, furniture, time and labor saving devices, together with the twentieth century system that these Negro business men have installed in their various businesses for the accurate handling of the same, should cause all loyal members of the race to say with one joyous acclaim, that our business men are certainly deserving of both our patronage and encouragement. Negro Physicians Indispensable The Negro physicians are doing a great work for the race. We dare say that few people realize what the upright pains taking, conscientious physician means to the race. This class of physician is trusted with the confidence, health, yea, lives of our entire families. It is true, once in a great while, some unscrupulous person breaks into the profession, who is known by the insurance fraternity as having almost an incurable case of "Dollar-citis." This dollarhungry doctor is a menace to his high profession, and whenever the Savannah physicians find out one such is attempting to impose himself upon them, they have no hesitancy in having such a one known that his room is perferred to his company. In the city of Savannah we have fourteen Negro physicians who are blessings to our people. These men are honorable, high classed and justly deserve the splendid practice which the forty-five thousand Negroes in this city are delighted to give them. These men in their line, like all other Negro business and professional men in the community, have no just cause for complaint, as the Savannah Negro has long since come to the conclusion that the way to get the very best out of the best in the race is to encourage and patro nize the business and professional men who are putting forth such strenuous efforts to place the accomplishments of the Savannah Negro on the map. The Quack "Doc" Must Go. It is true, that some of our physicians at times have been used to the advantage of these "quacks" and to the detriment of their high calling. For example, in one case, a high classed licensed physician was called in to treat a patient and after giving the case a proper diagnosis prescribed for the patient, giving to those into whose hands his patient was left, to understand that in order for the sick to get the benefit of his skill and knowledge, the medicine must be given according to his directions. When the physician and the insurance man happened up to this particular house at one and the same time, just seven days from the physician's first visit, they found that the sick had not taken the physician's medicine, but was.taking juices from some roots and bark which was being given by one of these "voodoo quacks". We, as a race, can ill afford to have our people fill untimely graves, in order to accommodate the"voodoo quack," in plying his trade of roots and bark, which have proven so deadly and destructive to the lives of many of our innocent and unsuspecting people. The only apology that the Negro offers for calling the attention to these quacks is that we realize that a sickly, puny, weak people are bound to be in a poverty stricken condition. Therefore, the Negro Business League wishes to go on record as being absolutely in favor of the licensed Negro physician having a chance to show to the world that he is honest, up-right, intelligent and can and will deliver the goods when he has been given an opportunity, and the quacks have been ignored and put aside. These together with other kindred ideas are among those for which the Negro Business League stands, which meets the first Wednesday and the third Friday nights in each month at their headquarters Wage Earners Bank building, West Broad and Alice. Come and bring a friend with you. Furnished by the National Negro Business League A thought for the week.—In urging the colored people of Dayton, Ohio, to organize and support Negro businesses, the Lexington (Ky.) Weekly News says: "We have the money and our population is sufficient but we lack the principal thing—race pride * * * In all more than $2,000,000 is spent by the race for the necessities of life, and barely three per cent of this amount is spent with members of the race. The word 'Negro' will be synonymous with 'poverty' so long as we spend 97 per cent of our earnings with other people." Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, which some time ago closed its doors, is giving stockholders and depositors the equivalent of their bank holdings in stock of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill, a successful enterprise of which he is the managing director. Invitations were recently extended to V. H. Tulane, cashier of the Montgomery Branch of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, and J. O. Diffay, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, to attend the meeting of the Alabama State Bankers Association which convened in the State Capitol at Montgomery. Every courtesy was extended to these well known colored bankers and they entered heartily into the deliberation of that progressive, body.

The Progressive Manufacturing company is the name of a hosiery mill soon to be established at Burlington, N. C. It is reported that prominent and influential colored people are behind the movement and that much of the stock has been placed. Dr. Matilda A. Evans, of Columbia, S. C., who probably has the largest practice of any colored physician in the state, has recently erected a hospital in that city. The opening of the hospital celebrated her seventeenth anniversay as a practicing physician. J. H. Anderson and Son, successful contractors and builders of Piqua, Ohio, have been awarded the contract for building Central Hall, the new $20,000 building of the Curry Institute at Urbana, Ohio. The Newport News Star is "boosting" the Local Negro Business League. An enthusiastic League meeting was recently held in that city and a large number of new members were enrolled. Getting down to active business for community uplift and racial unity is the slogan of the organization. · Making its Usual Hit There has just been issued, from the press of the Sunday School Commentary for 1915, a copy of this publication has just reached this office. It is published by the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn. The book this year is replete and brim full of useful information for the church and Sunday school workers. It is in its eleventh edition and covers a wide range of religious thought. Characteristic about the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary this year is that it contains colored maps of the Bible land, together with the revised and authorized version of the bible, its primary teachings, its introductions for the quarter together with an introduction for each lesson. It also has the bible dictionary giving the proper pronunciation and brief definition of the important words used in connection with the lesson for each quarter. Dr. R. H. Boyd secretary of the publishing board and Editor in Chief of the Commentary, assisted by the Editorial Secretary, Dr. W. S. Ellington, has shown splendid foresight in the preparation and the continued publication of this teachers', superintendents' and ministers' help. In taking up the international Sunday school lessons, the commentary deals with it in uniformity with the Sunday school quarterlies. Secretary Boyd states that for 1914 the publication had an unprecedented circulation which reached something like 10,000, but it is confidently predicted that the book this year will reach even a larger figure in its circulation. The 1915 volume was out in September. The publishing board made a specialty in offering it to the delegation at the recent session of the National baptist convention in Philadelphia. We put our stamp of approval upon religious and racial achievements that stand out so much in a class to themselves as the publication that has just reached us. *** * * * 1/10 The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Co.

In thé ninth century two rival claimants, sons of a deceased 3fi- kad, instead of waging war against each other, decided the aucceasion by ag wrestling match” By C. T. Lunsford Before one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a game on the University campus, the rejuvenated Howard University foot ball eleven defeated the strong Hampton team by a score of 6-0 in a fiercely contested game. To every one that saw the game there can be no question over the result the better team won because it was played, out gamed and out generaled its opponents during every moment of the game. From the very start of the game the home boys put the visitors on the defensive by their versatile plays and it was only a few moments after the game had started that the college boys had played the visitors off their feet and had registered a touch-down through the most brilliant playing ever seen on the campus. The Hampton boys played a steady clean game, but they were out played more decisively by their lighter opponents than it is possible for the score to indicate. There were few chances when the visitors had a look in, and with the exception of a few moments all the playing was done in their territory. The home boys played as a unit. The back field worked with clock like precision, while the line never failed to open a hole when called upon, or to break up all plays directed at it. The charging of the line was superb and several times the forwards broke through Hampton's line and downed the backs in their tracks. All the plays of the home team were fast and well executed. Their selection showed sound judgment. The speed of the backs was a revelation to the on-lookers, and made all the effort of a slow and heavy defence of the visitors look weak and feeble. Hampton's line appeared weak against this back field in the middle of the gridiron but it braced up under the goal and several times took the ball on downs. The result of the game told another story of a team with open foot ball overcoming a powerful opponent with straight foot ball. Hampton's chief plays were a mass play through center and ap off tackle play, and as soon as these two plays were mastered by Howard they were almost helpless. Several forward passes were attempted but all failed. Howard, on the other hand, tried everything in open foot ball and how well she succeeded is best told by the score. Howard's best play was made through the center on the "E" formation, a formation with nine men on the line. This play seemed to hypnotize the visitors. It never failed to gain five or ten yards and it was on this very play that Grinnage went through center for ten yards and scored the only touch-down of the game. Penderhughes kicked off to Hampton's 10 yard line and Hampton returned the pigskin 10 yards. On a series of line plunges by Bender, Flint and Jamerson, Hampton marched 30 yards down the field and then loss the ball on downs. It was Howard's ball in the mid-field and from here Penderhughes, Grinnage and Stratton began their march to the goal. A series of line plunges gave Howard her first down on Hampton's 45 yard line, and now a beautiful triple forward pass for 30 yards was made by Price Stratton and Pen derhughes. This play was a marvel and was easily the feature of the game. Hampton appeared to be disorganized by this play, for now Howard's back field tore through the line for, long gains and placed the oval.on Hampton's 8 yard line, where it was taken over the goal by Grinnage in the next play through center. Penderhughes missed goal. Hampton came back strong after How- boys, encouraged by their success, played some remarkable defensive foot ball and easily smothered all efforts of their opponents. The game now developed into a kicking duel between Stratton of Howard and Jamerson of Hampton, with Howard gaining at least five yards on every exchange. All the playing was done now in Hampton's territory and when the game whs called the visitors were fighting within their 25 yard line. Summary Hampton Howard Johnson.....l e.....George Martine.....l t.....Mathews Givens.....l g.....Franklin The Y. M. C. A and its Work By F. D. Tucker. Read before Y. M. C. A., Dec. 6th 1914. The field of work of the Young Men's Christian Association is indeed vast in area. First of all I shall endeavor to tell you a little about the beginning of Y. M. C. A. work. As the old expression goes, all things must at some time have their beginning, and so in the year 1853, just eight years before the great war of liberation, we find the first Colored Y. M. C. A. was organized by one Anthony Bowen, a free Negro, in the City of Washington, D. C. This date marked the beginning of one of the greatest religious movements the modern world has ever known, for in no field of labor, except the very church itself, is the opportunity for christian endeavor so broad. We find that the work of the Y. M. C. A. has been greatly extended and that its growth has been steady and continuous. Today instead of seeing old houses and delapidated halls we have our handsome and commodious new buildings luxuriously furnished with all modern comforts and completely equipped. These buildings have been erected at costs ranging from twenty-five thousand dollars to two hundred thousand dollars, but let us pass on. We are indeed proud of our magnificent buildings of brick and stone with their gymnasiums, their swimming pools, bowling alleys, cafes, parlors and palatial halls, but let us not think too much about these, let us consider why these buildings are erected. Are they for sport, fun and a good time? I say no, for that is but a small part. The prime motive in the erection of these buildings is to foster and cherish the men and religious movement. They have been dedicated and consecrated to the cause of christianity. They are holy temples for the development of christian character and manhood and usefulness. They are to improve first of all, the spiritual welfare of men. In short the Young Men's Christian Association has for its object the building and making of men. Taken in the broadest sense, the Young Men's Christian Association does more than develop the spiritual side, for, hand in hand with the spiritual go the moral, the social and physical. Indeed all of these have their force and bearing on the development of character. We have the religious exercises, bible courses and the like to improve men spiritually, the reading of good books and literature to purify the mind and to inspire to loftier ideals, the power of example for the moral effect, the swimming pool, the gymnasium, the bowling alley and all other elaborate provisions for the physical development of men. Last but not least we have the powerful influence of association and contact of men one with the other, viz, the social influence; that everlasting and continual brotherhood of man with man. Each one of these forces goes a long way toward bringing out the very best that is in man. And so we see that a complete Young Men's Christian Association as we know it today comprehends a number of departments and the far reaching effects of these respective influences on the moulding of character cannot be over estimated. The church, to be sure, has its great work to do. Yes, verily I say, the church is the greatest of all institutions, for unless the soul is saved everlasting life is not possible. However, the church cannot take the place of the Y. M. C. A. for each has its duties to perform. We must take our young men off the street corners, out of barrooms, dives and gambling dens and houses of ill repute, we must teach them to live clean lives, we must show them the necessity of decency, to love things moral and to shun things immoral. They must be taught that to labor is honorable and that the world has no room for the lazy and the idle. We must instill in them the spirit of honor and manhood, teach them the lofty and noble ideals of a Christian life, we must bring them under the guidance of the church and lastly, to bring the lesson home, there is a crying need in our city of Savannah for a Young Men's Christian Association. Our young men, and to make it broader, our men, need a guiding hand. They need to be saved. The swift tide of society and the everpresent lure of a gay time are carrying them far into the sea of destruction. Let us join hands together in an upward movement, let us all work in unison to build up a strong Y. M. C. A. and extend our aid and helping hand to the fallen brother in the gutter, show him the straight and narrow path, the better way. Save him from further degradation and sin, look not with disdane or scorn upon him, for after all he is your brother. May we extend a hearty welcome to all men. Let them all feel that our association is a place where men mix, for Christ himself was a mixer. A place of equality and brotherhood where the rich and the poor, the haughty and the humble, the literate and the illiterate all meet on common ground, for after all, the laborer, the mechanic, the banker, the lawyer, the doctor and all that great crew of men who help to guide the ship of state and who play their parts on the world's great stage of life are but poor, weak mortals after all in the sight of our Father in heaven and as the poet Burns has so fittingly said, "A man's a man for a that."

We have the option this time of the regular lesson on the ascension, or what is called a Christmas lesson on the reign of peace, from Isa. xi, 1-10, but as the ascension lesson includes His return to set up His kingdom we will take it and look at both. The time when Isa. xi shall be literally fulfilled cannot come during this age of a rejected Messiah and a consequently scattered Israel, but as truly as He at His first coming literally fulfilled all that is written in Isa. lil and elsewhere concerning His sufferings, so shall He when He shall come again as literally fulfill all that is written everywhere concerning His kingdom and glory. Animals that now devour each other shall live in peace together, nations shall learn war no more, for He shall have smitten them and broken them in pieces, and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea, for the rod out of the stem of Jesse, who is also the root of Jesse: the son of David, who is also David's Lord, shall sit on David's throne and reign over the house of Jacob, who will then be a nation all righteous, according to Gabriel and all the prophets, the neglect of whom made the two with whom He walked to Emmaus to be foolish men (Luke xxiv. 25; 1, 31, 32; Jer. 111, 17; Isa. 1x, 6, 7; 1x, 21). He who rose from the dead was indeed the Son of David, the long promised king to rule over Israel, which He shall surely do at Hls return, and not only Israel, but all nations (Mic. iv, 3; v, 2; Ps. lxxil. 11; Matt. 1, 1; Rev. xxil. 10; II Tim. ii, 8; Rev. i, 5; Ps. lxxivel. 9). How wonderful the king and the kingdom! Thy kingdom come! Christmas is almost without significance unless it points us on to the coming again of Him who was born in Bethlehem, not in the winter season, but probably in the springtime. Turning to the lesson in the Acts, the former treatise referred to was the gospel by Luke, wherein he, as well as Matthew and Mark in their gospels, set forth the things that Jesus began to do and teach and which the Holy Spirit through redeemed people has ever since been doing and teaching and will till the church is completed. Notice that doing always goes before teaching, for we cannot teach others until we have done the things ourselves. He continued to do and teach until the day in which He was taken up. May we by the same Spirit be faithful witnesses until taken out of the body or taken up in the body to be ever with Him (I Thess. iv, 16-18; Phil. 1, 21, 23). We must not confuse these two, but either will be glorious. Notice how He did all by the Holy Spirit. And remember that from His conception to His resurrection all was by the Holy Spirit, the same one concerning whom He said, "Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me" (verse 8, margin). As He showed Himself alive in His resurrection body He expects us, in the power of His resurrection by the Holy Spirit, to manifest Him in our mortal bodies that others may see Him and not us. He will manifest Himself in us if we are fully yielded. Since He is more willing to give the fullness of the Spirit than parents are to give good gifts unto their children, what can hinder us from being filled but our own unwillingness? Their question, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" was in no sense a foolish question, for the prophets are full of such a restoration, and the heaven has received Him only until the times of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began (Acts iii, 21). Our Lord did not reprove them for asking the question, nor did He say that they were carnal in looking for such a kindom or that they misunderstood the nature of the kingdom. He simply said to them, and He says to us, that we are not to know the time, and elsewhere He said that it will be in such an hour as we think not. But His great desire for us is that we shall be, in the power of His Spirit. His faithful witnesses to His death and resurrection and present ministry and coming again. Arrive L ave 15 pm.

As they looked steadfastly toward heaven two men in white apparel said, "This same Jesus * * * shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." Then they returned to Jerusalem with great joy and were continually praising and blessing God (verse 11: Luke xxiv. 52). Let us hold fast the very words about "this same Jesus," and if we believe them as they did we will be affected as they were to His glory—not death nor any great event in the past, but a literal personal coming to the air to welcome His church and then to the same Olivet to set His kingdom.

We distinguish between His coming for us and His coming with us-not two comings, but two stages of the great event with an interval between. --- we AND OWENS AT PE- IN NEXT WEEK.

CAN THE NEGRO FEED HIMSELF National Negro Business League ' Makes Estimates . | The Negroes in America spend about $600,000,000 a year for food This estimate makes due allow- ance for those who are employed Jas domestic servants and get a portion of their food without act- ual cost. If you take your pencil and be- gin to figure over this enormoits annual outlay, you reach some very alarming conclusions. It the first place, food products of- fer the retailer an average profit of 25 per cent and 25 per cent of $600,000,000 is $150,000,000 or the amount of profit made by the an- nual food expenditure of Negroes. Suppose we go further with our figures and distribute this $50,000,000 for rent, heat, light tail establishments. We will find that we can pay each proprietor $2,500 per year, give him: a book- keeper at $7,000 per year, a clerk at$4o.00 per month, a delivery boy |at, $20.00 per month, a horse and wagon and still have a balance of $50,000,000 for -rent, heat light, advertising, extension and other incidentals: And her is employ- ment for 100,000 people. ' But our figures must not stop here. These 20,000 retailers must spend $450,000,000 a year for foods and these goods come from wholesalers, commission merchants and manufacturers. Granting 10 per cent profit to the producers and necessary middle- men, we have the handsome sum fof $4,500,000 each year which could be distributed among say 50 fastbries and 200 wholesalers and commission merchants each earning an average yearly profit in excess of $20,000. This annual profit would be divided among proprictors, managers, traveling salesmen, city salesmen, clerks and laborers, giving employment to about 50,000 more people. Thus we see that if the Negro un- dertook to feed himself, we would [have fully 20,000 successful busi- ness enterprises, would circulate among the race $154,500,000 each year in salaries and wages and provide lucrative employment for at least 150,000 colored people. -How to convert this -large amount of cash into Negro busi- ness enterprises is a serious and important problems. So let us face the situation frankly and thoughtfully. Obviously, the first step to accomplish this result should be to establish confidence and active co-operation between those who sell and those who buy, that is, between the colored re- tailer of food products and the colored housewife. This then is our task. s One way to bring about this mutual co-operation is through colored women’s clubs. Every town and city where any number of colored people live should have a Colored Woman's Club and a branch of the National Negro Business League and committees }from these two local organiza- tions should mect at least once 2 |month and thoroughly discuss al | questions of food prices and stort s|service. The house wife coulc [then make known her needs anc requirements and rétailers coul sjarrange their stocks in such ; )Jwway as to insure prompt, efficien )'service and a quick turn-over. »| With an earnest and sincere de 3|sire to promote the financial an commercial development of th t!achievements, the officers of th | National Negro Business Leagu Glare constantly devising plans t 0 jhelp local Negro communities tc wards group effort.

Brunner, chief health of- ficer of the city, delivered a short ad- dress to the students of the Cuyler Street school, on Thursday. Dr. Brunner's address dealt particularly with the advance that had been made during the last decade‘in the prevention of epidemics of such-diseases as small- pox, scarlet fever and diptheria, and ‘on the hearty co-orperation of the Ne- gro population of this city had given him in his work. He also pointed ont how children could assist in the pre- vention of the diseases and state em- phatically: that sunshine and fresh air were thebest disinfectants ever dis- covered. ‘In closing, Dr. Brunner urged the students to cultivate efficiency in some particular vocation and continue to press forward. After the address Principal Hubert accompanied the doctor through the different dépaft- ments of the school. «= CLOTHES THAT FIT Each seasonI make clothes a little better, each season my circle of friends grows larger because I know how to please the particular man.
