The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX LEADING PUPILS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS LEADING PUPILS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS MONTHLY AND TERM STANDING INTERESTING. Several Students in Various Schools Make Excellent Records—Work on Whole Very Satisfactory. The following is the standing of the first six pupils in each grade of the public schools for December and also for the term. The December report is similar to that of October and November, already published; and is simply a record of the daily recitations for the month. The term standing represents the work for three months ending with the examinations which were held during the latter part of December, and is found by adding the daily recitations in all the studies for those three months and the written examinations in all the studies and dividing that sum by two; in other words it represents the sum total of the pupil's efforts in all his work for the term. The record which the pupils in general have made in the school for the past three months has been very satisfactory on the whole, both in studies and department. West Broad Street School.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 31, 1914. I find according to the records kept by the department of records and research of Tuskegee Institute that during in the year that has just passed 52 persons were put to death by mobs. Of this number 49 were Colored and 3 white. The number persons lynched in 1914 was apparently the same as for 1913 and is the smallest number for a year since the records of lynchings have been kept. Although the number of lynchings has not increased, there appears to be an increasing tendency to lynch for any cause, however trivial, and also to disregard sex. Of the 52 persons lynched during the passed only seven, or 13 per cent, two white and five Colored, were charged with rape. Three of those lynched were women. One of these women was only seventeen years old, and was charged with killing a man who, it was reported, had raped her. Another of the women lynched was accused of beating a child to death; while the third woman and her husband were charged with setting fire to a barn. In the presence of their four year old child they were put to death. The crimes charged against the persons killed were: murder, 13; robbery and murder, 6; robbery and attempted murder, 1; suspected of murder, 1; rape, 6; attempted rape, 1; killing an officer, 5; wounding officer, 1; murderous assault, 3; alleged murderous assault, 1; biting off a man's chin, 1; accused of wounding a person, 1; killing person in quarrel, 4; beating child to death, 1; trying to force way into woman's room, 1; stealing shoes, 1; stealing mules, 1; setting fire to barn, 2; assisting man to escape who had wound ed another, 1; being found under a house, 1. I find that lynchings occurred during the year in fifteen states as follows: Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 4; Georgia, 2; Louisiana, 12; Mississippi, 12; Misslourl, 1; New Mexico, 1; North Dakota, 1; North Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 3; Oregon, 1; South Carolina, 4; Tennessee, 1; Texas 6. Booker T. Washington. City Election Tuesday. On Tuesday next the election for Mayor and Alderman of the city takes place. This election will be void of the old time interest on account of the primary held last month, the nominees of which will be regularly elected on Tuesday. At this election any registered voter can exercise his franchise and vote for any set of officers. The colored voters should have nominated a ticket and vote for same matters how small the vote may be.

As the bridal party stood in a semi-circle around the altar which was simply but beautifully decorated with palms ferns, and potted narcissus, the ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. W. L. Cash, pastor of the First Congregational church, and Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, amid the soft strains of "O Promise Me." After the benediction, Mendelson's wedding march was played as recreational, and the wedding party, led by the bride and groom, went out in the following order: The two flower girls, Miss Tucker and Fleming D. Tucker, Mrs. Dent and Benjamin S. Walton, Miss White and James H. Butler, Miss Durden and Dr. A R. Ferebee, Miss Bibb and Wendalt Tucker, Meldrim Tucker and Edgar Habersham.

The bride's mother wore silk poplin with bodice of chiffon and lace. After the ceremony a reception was held at the house, which was beautifully decorated. The bride received many beautiful and costly presents, among them being a set of sterling silver flat ware, the gift of her parents, a dining room and a bedroom set, from the groom's two sisters, and the home at 905 West Broad street, a present from her father.

CHEVROLET Resolve to allow our hearts to burn with zeal to make manifest hourly and daily a spirit of hope, faith and charity from which spring our sympathy, courage and peace on earth. Resolve to make this the greatest year of our order since the first grain of sand fell through Time's hour glass. And why not? The order is older, wiser, mightier, more experienced, has learned more lessons and we climbed nearer the stars. Why. we're just starting to realize what wonderful things are to be done. Let us resolve to put away prejudice, criticism and indifference and let love, gentleness and forgiveness come in, as the New Year of O. E. S. mounts the hill of time with confident and steady tread, with fresh laurels decking O. E. S. in Georgia. And we should resolve to stand at the loom of O. E. S. life undaunted and fearless, for right over us stands the star of life, the designer of our fabric of earthly stars and some day when we see the beautiful filling we have woven into the warp of O. E. S. we will be surprised to see how the touches of experiences added lustre to the order. Resolve to behold the glory of O. E. S. and to open our minds to receive and our hearts to feel the wonderous privileges we have to reflect light in the lives of our sisters and brothers. The order of O. E. S. belongs to us to do with as we dare. Resolve that it is a glorious thing to live in these modern times when we have new thoughts follow each other like ocean waves, we have been privileged to see them developed in our order. The ritual is a continuous homily which we amplify and elaborate. We are well informed in addresses and lectures with excellent maxims of rules of duties and righteousness. We should pause occasionally and inquire within and resolve to keep the obligation. Conclude that "Back of the stars all our doubts will be scattered, all of our tears will shine in rainbows of peace, all of our wonderings and questions be answered. Back of the stars all of our sorrows will cease. Just to do our best and forget every fear, back of the stars He is watching us here. The past year has given me a new sense of the value of friends. I count it a great ain to have seen into the best side of human hearts. --- What of the New Year? Throughout the country the new officers are presiding over their lodges for the first time. The old administration has become a part of lodge history; the page is turned and the Worshipful Master is to write the first word on the new chronicle. Where will he begin? Will it be at the end of the page, like a Hebrew text, and the administration be written backward? Will he write up and down the page like a Chinese scribe, without making material progress? Or has the resolution been made to make fair copy of a great forward stride in Masonry? The master can make his year what he will. To him is the honor for all progress, and to him is the responsibility for the stagnation or retrogression --- Looking Forward and Outward Naturally his first concern will be for the welfare of his own lodge. If there are cliques or discordant elements, dissipating the strength of the lodge and wasting the energy of the members, his first care should be to reconcile the factions and unite the forces for the lodge. Unfortunately many lodges are rent by these factions, formed by the personal ambition and desire of power of certain members. Nothing could show more clearly the unfitness of any brother for preferment than that he should lend himself to factional strife within his lodge. It presages ill for his administration, for Macquary is too fine and sacred a thing to be debased to the position of a mere stepping stone to social advantage. The next inward look will be to the material prosperity of the lodge. To this end it will be the master's duty to see that the dues are promptly paid. In all lodges this source of income should be enough to take care of the running expenses. The extra expenses incidental to conferring degrees might be borne in part from the fees, but it should be kept in mind that a liberal percentage of the fees should go to the reserve fund of the lodge, because every member is a possible liability. No one can predict who will or will not become a care of the lodge. To provide for these emergencies that may arise, every lodge should make a sink-fund, consisting of at least 50 per cent. of all initiatory fees. With an emergency fund and dues large enough for current expenses the lodge will not have to regard the profanes of the community as an asset and be about making an effort to collect. This condition is what leads to soliciting; this is what leads to careless investigation; and this is what leads to such a volume of work that no other interest of Masonry can have attention. And what are interests?" These bring us to the outward look. No lodge is fulfilling its mission which does not take care for the Masonry of other lodges, other states, and other countries. Our mission is to help men find their true selves, to show their intimate and dependent relation to their fellow men and to God. Otherwise the term "brotherhood" has no meaning for us. Throughout the world Masonry is engaged in this great work.

Tuskegee Alabama.—Can you imagine a row of shoes placed side by side and extending a distance of four hundred miles? If you can you will have some idea of the number of shoes it requires for the Negroes of America every year. It is a fair estimate to allow each individual two pairs of shoes a year. This gives us twenty million pairs a year or about 50,000 a day. It is also fair to place the average cost of each pair at $2.50. We then discover that we are spending something like $165,000 per day for shoes alone, not including repairing and findings. Need we ask how much of this money goes to furnish employment for Negro boys and girls. We know only too well that scarcely one per cent of this money goes back into Negro enterprises. In other words, we are keeping 10 shoe factories with a daily capacity of 5,000 pairs, busy all the year to supply us with shoes and not one of these factories hire Negro help only in a menial capacity. Just how long we will content ourselves to sit idly by the wayside and whine over our lot, at the same time indulging in such a foolish extravagance of racial resources, is a problem. According to the Negro Year Look for 1914-1915, there are over one hundred cities in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky, having a Negro population in excess of 7,000. According to the averages above, this represents an annual expenditure of about $55,000 per year by Negroes in each of these cities for shoes. If ten Colored men in each of the 100 cities selected should invest $100 each in a shoe factory, they would have a paid-in capital of $100,000 with which to start business. With this amount of money, they could erect a factory, install modern equipment and organize a system of distribution through chain stores which would adequately supply the Colored people in these 100 cities. On account of the nearness of the tanneries of Philadelphia, the factory could be located in either Richmond, or Norfolk. Atlanta and Memphis are advantageously situated for distributing stations to supply the 100 chain stores. Being a part of a well defined sales and distributing system, each of these stores could be made self-supporting and an important unit in the annual income. Ofcourse it would take a vast amount of work to do this and there would be mistakes made in the beginning, but no great thing was ever accomplished without work and worry. We must first find a man with a vision, perseverance and ability of Heman D. Perry who built the Standard Life Insurance Company and let him come forward and undertake the work of assembling and organizing the stockholders. Then would follow in rapid succession the forming of the company, the erection of the factory, the distribution of labor, and an endless array of important details down to the most difficult part of the proposition—advertising and educating our women that a Phillis Wheatley shoe is just as good as any of the popular $4.00 shoes now on the market. Continuous advertising in Negro papers, uniform prices, absolute values, efficient store service, suitable and impressive styles from which to select and some sort of profit sharing plan would in a few years put the project on a basis of substantial growth and pay handsome dividends in satisfied customers and increase prestige for the race. In offering this suggestion, the officers of the National Negro Business League hope that it will supply food for thought and material for discussion in secret societies, clubs, lodges, and local Negro business leagues. Note: A description of the Regal System of Chain Shoe Stores is given in the December issue of the magazine, Advertising and Selling. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Established 1875 By JOHN H. DEVEAUX Published by SOL. C. JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor JAS. H. BUTLER Asso. Editor and Manager ED. H. BURKE City Editor Published Every Saturday 1009 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 Saturday January 9th, 1915 Considerable unhiness has been caused the Negroes of the city by a statement which appeared Wednesday in one of the daily papers to the effect that an effort would be made to displace all Negroes who hold municipal positions by whites. An investigation has been made as to the truthfulness of the statement and it has been claimed by several high in authority, who are in position to know, that no such effort will be made and that the statement was not authorized by those who are behind the administration. We are anxious that all Negroes who are employed in municipal positions be retained and are especially solicitous concerning the two physicianships held by members of the race. Negro city employees have always given satisfactory service and have proved faithful to their work which has been performed without the least friction with other employees. The feeling between the races in this city has always been very cordial and the Negroes have been given on the whole as fair a chance as they get in any other city and we see no just reason why we should be made to relinquish the few municipal positions we now hold. We have not only endeavored to do our part in adding to the numerical strength of the city by welcoming members of the race who are law abiding and thrifty and who make the sort of citizens which a progressive should have, but we have also given that kind of labor which has been no mean factor in making possible the rapid strides which our community has made in recent years, regardless of how humble this labor has been. Such statements as referred to do not presage any good for our people and undoubtedly will start the kind of agitation which will shortly cause us to feel more keenly than ever the prejudicial hand of injustice and oppression. The Negroes are deserving of just and fair treatment at the hands of those in authority and we trust that it is true that the statement which appered in the paper was not authorized by those in authority nor that it expresses their feeling toward us. T In our perusal of the Emancipation addresses of the various first of January orators, in various parts of our country, it is indeed gratifying to note that the key note of most of the speeches was a plea for greater racial unity among us. To observe that the leaders of thought among our people in various parts of our country, are of one mind in regard to our most urgent present need, can but make us realize the fact that there is much room for improvement among us along the lines indicated. As we have stated before in our columns, the time is now for us to show what our true value is as a race and as individuals. That we as a race occupying at the present time most disadvantageous position in the life of the American people admits of no doubt. Seemingly sanctioned by the powers that be such preventives or at least retard us to our progress as Jim Crowism, segregation, lynch law and the like are seeking to obtain a firmer hold upon our throats. At the present time it appears to us that our status as American citizens, guaranteed as such, every right and privileged enumerated in the constitution of the country, is being questioned now as never before. There is no doubt that the lines have tightened on us. There is no doubt that under the guise of the banner of white supremacy, enemies to our progress have put in all along the line some telling blows. As a matter of fact the race is up against a serious problem. It is now with us to do or die. With stern and serious face, we must meet the present issues of so much moment to us and our future. Shall we do this? The foregoing seems to be the burning question at the present. As has been frequently said and especially of late, there is only one way for us to shake from ourselves the burden which threatens at the present time our very existnce and that is to throw our entire strength in the direction of those agents or agencies which keep us back. To do this most effectively the active co-operation of each member of the race is necessary. There is need of the help of each individual member of the race. We must all pull together if we are to cope successfully with the problems which now confront us as a people. It is true that, together we stand divided we fall. We must not fall. The race has accomplished too much to be willing at this time to abandon all and retreat. No, we cannot and must not retreat. Our friends, and worthy are they too, expect us to hold our own. Without doubt, there must be union among us. In church, in business in, society and in our work for charity, there ought to be and must be unanimity of purpose and action, if we are to wrought. Well in the work in which we may be engaged. Over Home News, Beaufort, S. C. (J. S. Blocker, Correspondent.)

NEGRO HANGED BY ALABAMA MOB Asks Courts to Make Thorough Investigation. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 4—Two Negroes, James and Ed. Smith, were taken from the jail early to-day at Wetumpka, near here, and hanged by a mob. The Negroes were held in connection with the killing of R. A. Stillwell, a farmer. State troops, sent from here in automobiles, arriving too late to prevent the double lynching. Gov. O'Neal issued a statement here to-night asking the courts to make a thorough investigation and condemning the practice of lynching. The history of every state, he said showed that mob law did not check, but increased crime. Three Whites Arrested. Three white men, Thomas Wade, who guided the troops to the bodies of the Negroes, his 'son, and Thomas Penson, were taken into custody by the soldiers pending an investigation. All deny knowledge of the hanging. Sheriff Jackson declared to-day that the Negroes were removed from the jail by five masked men, who overpowered and bound him to a chair. According to the authorities the sheriff's wife said she bolted the jail door before retiring, but that later the sheriff unbolted it and went out. It has not been determined if the door was bolted when he returned. In his statement the governor said: "The history of every state in the Union shows that mob or lynch law does not check, but only increases, crime. There is absolutely no justification for lynch law in Alabama. We have courts and laws amply sufficient to bring the guilty parties to justice. Wants Lynchers Punished.. "The men who were parties to this lynching have brought reproach upon the state and as long as I am goveruor all the power of myoffice will be used to bring them to justice. "It is folly for us to expect those from other states or countries to locate in Alabama until we can assure every person within our domain of the just and equal protection of the law. If the sheriff connived at the commission of this crime I am powerless to punish him by impeachment because his term of office will expire in a few days. "The men who lead mobs are generally those who have no respect for law or authority, who are cowardly, unwilling to face real danger and yet by their lawless acts do not hesitate to bring the blush of shame to every honest and patriotic citizen of the state." T Y. M. C. A. Notes The Y. M. C. A. held another of its interesting meetings on last Sunday. The paper on enthusiasm by Mr. Chas. Bonnett and the lecture on, "My Trip to London," by Dr. W. A.

Regio BusinessLeague Weekly Letter (By J. C. Lindsay) The Negro Business League wishes to thank each and every one, not only those who have cooperated with it and contributed in a material way to its successful efforts in bringing about a better feeling and a better understanding among the men and women of the race, who are engaged in business in this community, but also those who were willing even to stand aside and say: "I don't quite understand what you are driving at, but whatever it is, you shall meet with no opposition coming from me." Seeing is Believing Now, that you have, no doubt, been convinced that the men behind the Negro Business League are in earnest and mean to make it go, and in the meantime cause its influence for good to reach every business in the community conducted by Negroes, we feel quite sure that you too will be willing to put your shoulder to the wheel and give it a push, as the other faithful ones are doing. Place and Need for All In those days when the lowly and meek Nazarene was upon earth and training his followers to do a greater work than he himself had done, they the idea that they, the direct followers, had a monopoly on all the good work which was to be done. Therefore some of them went to him, the Master, and said, "We find some fellows as we go around casting out devils, we come to You, Sir, to insist that You make them quit it at once." The Master very kindly but positively said to them, "Let them alone; those who are not against us are for us." The community uplift work which is being done under many different names, may be done by small groups of people scattered in many quarters of the city; but be that wise or otherwise, the Negro Business League wishes to go on record as standing ready and willing to offer any assistance in its power to further and encourage any worthy movement set in operation, which has for its object and aim the material and moral uplift of the people whom it is laboring so hard to serve. Nothing in a Name. It matters not whether we name ourselves the business league, board of trade, commercial club, community uplift league or what not, since our object is to render an unselfish service to the people in this immediate community, whom we owe so much for the support, patronage and encouragement they are giving us in an honest endeavor to assist us make our businesses a success and an honor to the race. Newspaper a Public Benefactor We fear that only a few of us, comparatively speaking, appreciate fully what a clean, conservative, truthful, unselfish Negro newspaper means to a community of Negroes who are endeavoring to keep step with twentieth century music. A good, clean, conservative newspaper whose columns are open only for whole-one and helpful news and advertisements, means much in the homes of our people in the way of inspiring our boys and girls to nobler and higher lives. That Negro newspaper which is published for the purpose of advertising to the world the best brain, the best thought, and magnifying as much as possible the virtues and minimizing as much as practicable the vices of the Negro (as we have another class of journalists to look after that end of the Negro's interest (2) free of cost) is doing a work for the race which is inestimable. Yes, a clean, first class race journal whose editor does not think every other member of the race a fit subject for the insane anxiety, who does not subscribe to his code of tirades whether they be an educator, bishop, banker, doctor, lawyer, business man or what not. Is giving the race and our refined and cultural Christian homes a helpful medium which the thoughtful members of the race can ill afford to be without. Great Work for the Race The Negro Business League of this city wishes it known that it is very appreciative of the work done and is still being done by the "daddy" of the Negro boosters in this community, the Savannah Tribune. This old and conservative Negro business booster, the Savannah Tribune, has gone steadily along without taking up one whole page of its valuable space to show the picture and sing the praises of its editor and tell what a "great man he is" and "how much of a leader he is" and so forth, but on the other hand, has quietly and yet systematically worked and struggled until to-day the paper is printed in its own two-story brick building and is giving employment to many young men and women. Fear Nothing but Wrong Doing It is said of the editor of this paper that he fears nothing but wrong doings. When it comes to this paper putting up a fearless and unbiased defense for the manhood rights of the race, it has not a superior anywhere. It is also true however that the policy of this paper is ever to counsel peace and to discuss the best things accomplished by the race, and give the job of hunting up all of the skeletons and unsightly soiled linen and the race's short comings to that man or set of men who may feel called upon to strike a poor struggling race in the back as it is making heroic efforts to rise. Ingratitude the Heighth of Sin Ingratitude the Height of Sinn The Negro Business League wishes to state that it is profoundly grateful to the management of the Savannah Tribune for the splendid work it has done and is still doing in the way of racial uplift and helpfulness in this community where it has served an appreciative public for more than a quarter of a century. This organization realizes very fully that the work which it has been able to accomplish in the way bringing the local Negro business men together thereby affording them a splendid opportunity to better understand and sympathize with each other in their various business problems; and as natural result making it possible for them to exchange views and advance ideas as to the best remedies which will come more nearly serving as a panacea for those of our businessills, is due in a large measure to the publicity work of the old conservative Savannah Tribune. The Negro Business League will hold its next meeting at it headquarters, Wage Earners new bank building, West Broad and Alice streets, Friday evening, January 15th. Come early and bring a friend.

Dr. Lyman Abbot, successor of Henry Ward Beecher as the preacher of Plymouth Church, is writing for the Outlook Magazine, of which he is the Editor-in-chief, a series of articles dealing with his reminiscences of the past fifty years. In chapter 12, which appears in the issue of December 23rd, he discusses reconstruction and the effort made for the solution of the Negro problem in the South. He refers to Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, as among the men he has known best as working to bring about the solution of this vexed problem. He says: "Booker T. Washington, who has done more to interpret the South to the North and the North to the South, the white man to the black man and the black man to the white man, than any other Americans, and welcomed the future will place as a leader of his race in the same rank with the other great racial leaders of humanity." * * * Boston Glay, of Muscatine, Iowa, has invented a triple button cutting machine.

The very sad news of the sudden death of Mrs. Mary Richardson came as a surprise to us all. On January 1st, she was still enjoying excellent health, receiving and giving the good wishes of the New Year to her friends and children. Saturday morning she was found dead in her bed about 10 or 11 o'clock. Are we not told that the angel of death is hovering near always adjusting his bow and fixing the fatal dart which must ere long strike down perhaps the strongest, the most roust of us all. Death indeed comes like a thief in the night. Much regretted Mary Richardson leaves to mourn her two beloved children, a dear daughter and a devoted son. She was for many years a most devoted member of St. Benedict's. A strong sympathy and compassion stirs within us all for the good children who have been so unexoectedley plurged into the deepest grief and sorrow. Sunday afternoon a long string of mourners wending slowly their way from St. Benedict's Church down to the Catholic cemetery, where her mortal remains were buried with the usual rites of the church. Reverend G. Obrecht, pastor, presided and said the liturgical prayers over the body at the grave. On Tuesday afternoon the installation of the new officers of St. Mary's Aid Society, took place in the basement of our church. St. Mary's Xmas exercises were a pronounced success. The Easter exercises will come off in April. Our two schools St. Benedict's and St. Mary's reopened on Monday last with the same large number of children. The priests of St. Benedict's were delighted to receive on Tuesday afternoon the unexpected visit of Rev. J. Daniel O'Sullivan, one of their confreres and old friends, whois a great lecturer. Father J. D. O'Sullivan has for the last twenty five years, traveled much in the five continents, raising money for the foreign Missions of Lyons. He is now lecturing in different dioceses of New England, for the benefit of the great Seminary of Lyons, the mother house where young priests are every year formed and odained for the various mission fields of the West Coast of Africa. His visit to Savannah was only of a few hours, he being on his way back to Philadelphia and Providence where he is booked for six lectures to be given this same week. Beth Eden Baptist Church Beth-Eden Baptist Church, Rev. N. M. Clark, pastor, residence 214 East Waldburg street. There was a very large attendance at the watch night service Thursday night, the sermon was delivered by Rev. Clark with much force and was far reaching. Services were held all day Sunday, it being the first Sunday in the new year. After the morning prayer service the roll was called at 3 o'clock, at which time each member responded by paying twenty-four cents, the anniversary offering. After the roll call we went into the communion and at it close pledges which were made the first Sunday last year were renewed. Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. met on last Sunday at St Philips Church, West Broad and Charles streets. Many members were absent on account of the weather but a meeting was held by those present. The meeting will be held on tomorrow at the same place. A cordial invitation is extended to the friends of the movement. Diving Work Atlantic and Pacific Coast THE DIVING CONSTRUCTION Co.
