The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETS NASHVILLE ROYALLY ENTERTAINS ASSOCIATION Plan to Increase Price for Newspaper Space-Admission Fee Increased-Many Enjoyable Social Functions-President Chisum Presides at Meting of Association. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 13. Much business of importance to the newspaper fraternity and publishers was transacted at the two day's session of the National Negro Press Association, which closed in this city to-day. It was the blending of the Executive Committee meeting with the first session held in mid-winter made possible by the action taken by the newspaper men at their annual meeting in Muskogee last August. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 Friday morning by Joseph L. Jones, chairman of the Executive Committee, of Cincinnati, who presided during the executive session. At the conclusion of the executive session the first regular mid-winter meeting was then begun with Melvin J. Chisum, president of the association presiding. The opening of both meeting was marked by the religious fervor shown on the part of newspaper men and the business-like way in which they delved into the problems that are calculated to bring about the highest development of Negro journalism. Among the items taken up in these sessions were, first, the appointing of a committee whose functions will be to arrange the plans whereby the newspapers and magazines will be paid from twenty-five to fifty per cent more for their space. A similar committee having been appointed last February reported feasible plans, with data, statistics and circulation that would guarantee the speedy advent of such papers and magazines belonging to the association. The adoption of their report, the discharge of the old committee, whose term of office had expired, with the appointment of a new committee to put the plans in successful operation was the passing of the first obstacle which seemed to have been long in the way of the fraternity. Second—The plans for the calling of a fraternal congress to be held at Cincinnati, O., in August in which all of the secret societies operated by members of the race, which is to have the full support of one hundred twenty-six publications making up the association, were adopted. Third—Notice was given at the executive session of an admission fee from $2.50 to $10.00 to all who are not now members with the understanding that the annual fee would remain at $2.50. This action, which met the hearty support of the entire association is said not to be a preventive to new members, but rather a protection to those now making up the association, as it now has firm basis upon which to operate. Fourth—A new committee, with power to draft for the association a telegraphic code service, was also named. Fifth—A committee on memorials to report at the next annual session was adopted. Sixth—The chairman of the executive committee was authorized to call an executive committee meeting to be held in Boston, Mass., in August. Seventh—An address to the country with ringing declarations was issued through the special committee appointed to draft the same. Eighth—The report of the corresponding secretary showing the continued activities on the part of his office in securing new members, collecting dues and assessments, and in keeping before the public the objects and purposes of the association was unanimously adopted. Ninth=A resolution, calling for plans which would educate business men of the race to patronize and use the advertising space of the publications in the race, creating a larger demand for the wares and products, as (Continue on last page) GRAND JURY TO PROBE JASPER CO. LYNCHING. Judge Parker Unsparingly Condemns Crime in His Charge. Monticello, Ga., Feb., 6—The Jasper county grand jury to-day began its investigation of the recent lynching here of a Negro, his son and two daughters, Jan. 14, with a view to indictments. Judge Parker, in his charge to the body, after stating his satisfaction at the public condemnation of the act, said in part the following: "It is strange that men of the great white race should so far forget themselves as to join a mob to do violence. This race in every clime is known for its bravery, and no power can subdue its courage and determination, and whether in the frozen regions of the North or the tropical countries of the South, it recognizes no superior; and for men of this race to deprive a man of his life by mob violence is not in accordance with the traditions that have governed the Anglo-Saxon race from time immemorial. For a man to hold up another at the point of a pistol is neither manly nor courageous. It is no act of bravery for a dozen men or more to overpower the arresting officer and wrest from his custody a prisoner and swing his body to a limb and riddle him with bullets. "When the mob in this county overpowered your sheriff on the night of Jan 14, 1915, and took from your jail one man, a boy and two girls and lynched them without judge or jury, and for an offense that was not punishable by death, in the eyes of the human and divine law they committed the crime of murder, and under the provisions of the criminal code of the state of Georgia of 1910 nothing less can be made of such offenses. "You have the power to summon any witness in the state of Georgia to come before you and you will also have ample time during the present term of court to make-due investigation of this unpardonable crime, and it is your sworn duty as honest and conscientious jurors to ferret out the perpetrators of that shameful episode, if you can do so, and if the evidence authorizes it, it is your duty to return presentments against any person or persons that were present that night aiding and abetting in placing on the pages of Georgia history a blot that time will not efface for many years to come." Savannahians Spoken of. In giving an account of the meeting on Pythian Period Celebration, the Georgia Baptist says that "Mr. E. W. Sherman of Savannah, was unanimously elected to deliver the anniversary address. Mr. Sherman is a man of brilliant attainments and will, I am sure, measure up to the occasion in every way. The friends of Mr. A. B. Singfield, of this city, are gratified at the reports that are constantly coming from Savannah, of his rise in prominence and in the business and commercial life of that city. Mr. Singfield is an Augustan, who went to Savannah some years ago, as the representative in that city of the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company, Augusta. Mr. Singfield is not only making good for the company, but for himself. Along with his other activities in the religious fraternal, and civic life of Savannah, he is president of the Savannah Business League, which has 112 members and which is doing much good in the matter of bringing about co-operation among the business people and encouraging the establishing of new business enterprises and the proper conduct and patronage of those already established. This is a great work and one that the Augusta business men could well emulate.—Dr. R. C. Williams, in the Georgia Baptist. Farmers Conference. The annual farmers' conference was held at the State College this week. Several interesting lectures on agriculture and also talks on health were delivered by various speakers. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20TH 1915 Atlanta Segregation Law Unconstitutional Law Would Deny Inherent Right Of a Person to Acquire, Enjoy and Dispose of Property. Atlanta, Feb. 12.—Atlanta's race segregation law, which was passed by council over a year ago and which prevented whites and blacks living in the same block, was declared unconstitutional today in an opinion handed down by the Supreme Court. The opinion, was by Justice Atkinson and all the justices concurred, with the exception of Chief Justice Fish, who was absent on account of sickness. Justice Lumpkin concurred in a special opinion in which he differed from Justice Atkinson's line of reasoning, and declared that it seemed to him that it "may lead to extreme results." The third head note of Justice Atkinson's opinion says: "Section 1 and 2 of the ordinance of the city of Atlanta, adopted June 16, 1913, and corresponding sections of an amendment thereto, adopted Nov. 3, 1913, prohibiting white persons and colored persons from residing in the same block, deny the inherent right of a person to acquire, enjoy and dispose of property, and for these reasons are violative of the due process clause of the federal and state constitution." Discharged for Defend ing Her Race "Mother, there is a colored lady downstairs who wishes to see you," was the information carried by the daughter of a prominent white financier to her mother a few days ago. "You must say colored 'woman' for there are no ladies among them," snapped the mother. The laudress who was in another part of the house, overheard milady's remarks and, getting angry, proceeded to tell her a few things. "You say there are no colored ladies?" inquired the laundress. "The wife of Bishop Handy is every inch a lady, Mrs. Hurst is also, and I know that my pastor's wife is a cultured and refined lady." Milady got so furious at the spirited defense that she forthwith discharged the laundress. The foregoing happening illustrates one thing that many whites are disposed to consider the race as not entitled to consideration along the higher lines, if "lady" may be included in that class. The laundress deserves the praise of all who have race pride, and it is hoped that her tribe may increase.—Afro American Ledger. Will Preach at St. Philip Dr. J. W. Jarvis of Lansing, Michigan, will preach at St. Philip A. M. E. Church, West Broad street tomorrow at 11 a. m., and at Bethel, East Broad street tomorrow night.

Ministers asked to assist in Movement by Setting Aside Third Sunday in March—A Clean-up Committee Should be Appointed—Instruction Booklet to be Issued. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. In response to numerous calls for suggestions as to how National Negro Health Week may be observed, the following for the first day—Sunday, March 21st—has been issued by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president. Specific instruction for observing the other days of the Health Week will be published in a booklet, form and distributed at an early date. In order that the people may enter into the movement for better health and to the end that the program may be effectively carried out, it is suggested that the ministers of all the colored churches throughout the nation, set aside the Third Sunday in March—the 21st—as a day of prayer for better health conditions and that each minister arrange to preach on this day a special health sermon to his congregation. In addition to this, each minister is required to arrange wherever possible, appropriate services which shall include a discussion of local health conditions and any other matters which in his judgment will make a clean-up week a success. Clean-up Committee. It is further suggested that each community have a clean-up committee which shall investigate the conditions which menace the health of this community, arrange the program to suit these conditions and then see that the program is carried out and that the community is thoroughly and systematically cleaned. Why an Entire Week. An entire week is set apart, so that in case of cloudy or rainy weather, the first fair days may be used to do the cleaning. Office Removed After being located in one office for nearly twenty years, Lawyer J. H. Kinckle has removed his law office to No. 106 W. Bryan street. Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. was indeed "banner day". The joint Lincoln-Douglass anniversary celebration under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. brought to St. Paul Church an audience that not only taxed its seating capacity but one which well filled the aisles and channel as well. Each participant on the program merited special commendation for the superb rendition of his part of the program. The special addresses on Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass by Rev. J. L. Taylor and Rev. J. A. Martin, respectively, were gems of oratory. The singing of Mrs. Rosa Stephens, Miss Nellie Hart, Misses Iverson and Bell, the Congregational choir and the G. S. I. C. quartette as well as the paper on the Y. W. C. A. and its work by its president, Mrs. L. C. Coleman and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by Mr. John Delaware, elicited just applause from the large audience present. On tomorrow, the special address to men will be given by Mr. J. C. Lindsay, vice-president of the Negro Business League and Gen., manager of the Union Mutual Insurance company. Good music. All members are urged to be out promptly and prepared to pay their membership dues. Every indications points to an early occupation of the quarters selected by the association. In order for the association to do this, every man is expected to do his duty. Come out tomorrow at St. Paul C. M. Church at 5 p. m. and join in this movement of uplift of our people. Special meeting for boys scheduled for the near future. Spring Costumes Show Slavic Peasant Influence The High Collar Vies with the Comfort of the Dutch Square. New York, February.—It is during this season that the New York shops put out many novelties for Spring and Summer to gage the feeling of the American women and see what they want Queer little hats appear; for instance, I recently saw one in sailor shape with a large crown not more than an inch in height with abrim about two inches wide. Around the crown was a piece of old fashion picot-edged ribbon, which tied in a long bow and the ends flowed in streamers to the shoulders. No doubt this may inspire some ingenious modiste, to make something really worth wearing, but for the hat itself—well, I suppose some woman who is aching for the latest fads in hats may wear it a few times. Another sailor hat had a very small high crown with a wide brim. This also was trimmed with a single length of picot-edged ribbon, which tied with two long loops and ends which fell to the waist-line. Of such must fads be made! Last year, as a "feeler", crinoline gowns were shown at the early Spring openings, together with the close-fitting Directoire gowns, which really had the greatest influence on the early Spring and Summer styles. These fluffy gowns showed dainty little pantalets below, and, of course, in its adjustments these were dropped off, and merely the full skirts, daintily ruffled, and bodices, sometimes pointed in the MCCALL Ten Crepe makes a Dress for Approaching Spring front and with round drooped shoulder effects were taken. These are the prominent features of the dresses which are shown for the Spring and Summer. This season, the decided Dutch and peasant styles are what the dressmakers are showing to the multitude of women, and it still remains to be seen what will be their decision. The ample cosume of the Slavic peasant woman, who, in some cases wear twelve or fifteen stiffened petticoats at a time, are proving inspiration for many of the up-to-date costumes, also the coats and smocks of the men, which are equally ample. They are, besides being full, short. This note is becoming more pronounced all the time in the fashionable woman's costume. Below the peasant's short skirts which often reach only to the knees, are worn high boots. Paul Poiret tried very hard to introduce high boots, but failed; now the peasant styles have launched them, and already Parisians are wearing boots with their walking costumes—not as high as the knee. In the United States this idea will probably be modified to unusually high lace or button shoes. The full skirts are shown with than the barrel shape, which is given by the hoop. A few dressmakers, however, to the contrary, are showing their dresses over a petticoat which is reeded at the knees. The uneven hem is often the result of this distribution of fulness, and is endorsed by Dame Fashion. Yoke effects have been introduced this season with the yoke often in a contrasting color. This yoke is an easy evolution from the low waistline. © MCCALL A Suit on New Empire Lines Another idea borrowed from peasant costumes is the apron effect, with openings at either side showing a fluffy petticoat beneath. Costumes and suits show the normal and high waistline, but are distinctly different for the old time Empire lines. The real Empire line is decidedly ugly. with the full skirt, but the slightly raised waistline accompanying the full short skirt is much more artistic than the longwaisted blouses and these same full skirts. The length of the suit jacket or coat must also be considered in relation to the length of the skirts. The length of the suit jacket or coat must also be considered in relation to the length of the skirt. Note my second illustration, and the placing of the belt at a short waistline, beneath which the lower part of the jackit shows moderate fullness. The skirt below is full and slightly flaring. A decidedly new note in the Spring styles is the change in the collars of waists and dress. The military or high buttoned-up effects will doubtless be the most in evidence. The square or Dutch neck is excellent for Summer frocks, and also the newer Callot neck, which is similar. The drooped shoulder lines of ante-bellum days is the latest novelty and for day wear will be filled in with fichus of net and vokes of lace or embroidery. The square or Dutch neck is shown in my first illustration, which is developed in soft tan crepe.. This is an unusually good model for dresses of different fabrics, such as rep, pique, linen, or cotton gabardine. The long close-fitting sleeve with a small armhole is the favorite at present. The half sleeve of one color and the under-sleeve of another is an extremely effective idea adopted from the Salvic peasant costume. In black and white chiffon it is both striking and attractive. Very short sleeves, directly traceable to the long shoulder-line and the 1830 period, are quaint and charming when added to a forck with the drooping shoulder effect. There are the bell and other shapes for cutting the sleeve and frills of varying widths and design at the waist, as well as many old little cuffs, round or pointed. The trimmings for Spring dresses are varied. For black and white there are jet spangles and white beads in patterns often heavy in appearance, but light in weight. Military braids in black, dreadnaught gray and in colors matching the dress goods shades are used. Jananese and Chinese embroderies will lend their en- living colors to the neutral colorings which are so smart. Buttons in brass, silver, gunmetal and steel are in large demand for military costumes, and the vegetable ivory buttons are made in the average colors of dress goods. "Billy" Sunday! The public has been stirred, probably as never before, by the evangelistic work of Billy Sunday. He has made thousands of converts as an apostle of God. His talks have aroused not only the people at large, but have created a sensation in the ecclesiastical fraternity. His "best sermon" will be printed in its entire in the Magazine of Next Sunday's New York World. Everybody should read it. Order the Sunday World from your newsdealer in advance. The Great Value of Savings Banks. By T. D. MacGregor in American Bankers Association's Talks on Thrift. "There is no surer evidence of the prosperity of a community than when the savings banks show healthy and growing deposits."—Burlington Hawkeye. Following are half dozen outstanding advantages of using a savings bank or the savings department of a commercial bank or trust company: First. Safety Savings banks are the safest financial institutions in the country. Recent statistics showed the total liabilities of failed savings banks in proportion to the aggregate deposits of all such banks to be only about six ten-thousandths of one per cents or a dollar, the case may be. tion for the amount realized on the substantial assets of those few unfortunate institutions still further reduces the already infinitesimal loss to depositors. Second. Ability to deposit or withdraw any amount at any time Some banks have minimum for deposits, although it is usually a low one—5 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents of a dollar, the case may be. In different states there is a different maximum for savings deposits, ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 or $5,000. Ordinarily money can be withdrawn without any notice whatever. In times of panic or possible panic, however, a 30 or 60 day rule may be enforced. Third. Regular income. There are few if any other investments where it is possible to put in small amounts at any time and have your money begin to earn interest promptly as it does in a savings account. Savings bank interest is something you can depend upon. Fourth.. Compound. interest. The investor in bonds or stock must collect his interest or dividends and if he does not use the money, must attend personally to investing it. Interest allowed by the bank at the end of a given period, if not withdrawn, is placed to the depositor's credit and itself draws interest from that time on, thus automatically becoming a part of the deposit. This means a constant increase in the amount at interest and in the interest payments. Fifth. Freedom from tax. In most states savings banks deposits are free from taxation by state or local authorities. Sixth. The habit of saving. Last, but by no means least of the advantages of a savings account is what might be called reflex influence on the depositor himself. It finally fixes in him the valuable habit of saving which will be a lifelong benefit to him. Christmas Savings Accounts, Promoter of Economy. Christmas Savings Accounts, now becoming so popular in many cities as an aid to the wage earner in laying up for mid-winter, suggests that much money that should be saved during the summer months is wasted on trifles when it could be placed in a bank for the months of stringency. In every city where there is no Christmas savings department in the banks there will probably be found "savings" banks and we would advise that these be used. Nothing goes further towards promoting economy and building credit as the habit of putting a part of one's wages into a bank. Very few people can save regularly and systematically by hoarding their mites in an old chest, or worse in an old stocking tucked under the bed or beneath the floor. Whenever money is hid away at home it is lost, so far as its commercial value goes. Taken from circulation it is profitless. It is a question whether much of the "panicky" feeling is not due to this private hiding and hoarding. Anyhow it is advisable that every one save some part of all that is earned whether wages be large or small. Why not begin, say with March the first Saturday, a savings account. Try it, and then keep it up.—Star of Zion. Los Angeles, California News Mr. and Mrs. George Lewis entertained with a dinner dance last Saturday evening complimentary to Dr. W. Tarlton.

And what other institution, outside of the church, has been of more benefit to civilization and mankind than Masonry? Who can estimate the value of Masonry to the world? Men in every walk of life have been benefited by it. But how. Not by remaining away from lodge and by taking no part whatsoever in the work of the craft. That sort of Mason gets some benefit from his affiliation, of course, for no man should go through the degree without being bettered for it. But the great benefits of Masonry fall to those who do the most of it. A Mason gets out of his lodge just what he puts into it; and no more. It is the same with every branch of life. If a man brings fun into the world he gets out of the world fun and merriment; if he brings frowns the world frowns upon him. If he brings strength and courage and helpfulness into Masonry he finds the institution strengthening and helpful to him. If he shows himself willing and ready to bear the burdens of the craft he will find the craft willing and ready to assist him in bearing his burdens. Thus we get down to the fundamental principle of Masonic life. What Masonry would do for you rests entirely with yourself. Our institution, like the Divine Father, helps those who help themselves. Becoming a Mason is not sufficient. You must be one not merely to-day or tomorrow, but for all time. Then will Masonry reach out its arms to you, smooth away rough places, lift you onto the high mountains and crown your life with glory.—The Ashlar. There is no condonation of crime in Masonry. One is first a citizen, then a Mason. Bad citizens make bad Masons. Good Masons are always good citizens. They recognize their duties to society as paramount, and are aware that the general welfare reaches them as well as others; that, as all is more than a part, their duties as good citizens to the common community are among their primary obligations; and that support to the laws and the punishment of law breaking are alike expected, irrespective of the professions of the offenders. It is time that less informed Masons and the non-Masonic community should be told that neither judge or jury, as Masons, have a right to avert a merited punishment from a guilty Mason, or in any civil procedure to have their verdicts influenced in favor of a party because he is a Mason. This is not Masonry, and if it were, then Masonry would be justly doomed.—Missouri Freemason. Every Mason should be a reader and student of Masonry. The more you know about it the more you will want to know. It is a most interesting study when you once get into its true merits. Masonic News. In the beautiful ritualistic work of Masonry an officer should impress a candidate not so much with his power to memorize, but with the beauty, simplicity and sincerity of the work. He should have dignity to command respect, and intelligence to interest, and above all, earnestness to convince. The candidate shoul be made to feel that the officer believes in the work he is doing and that his desire is to impart something of value to a fellow man.—Trowel. The ritual is essential, because it is the vehicle of teaching the lessons and principles of Masonry. But is the practice of Masonic principles, not their rehearsal, that makes the Mason.—Stand ard. Love Abides. Last of all, love abides because it gives joy and service and turns the great mind into the heart. There are four hungers in men. There is the hunger for food and raiment, that gives harvest, tools and industries. There in the hunger for knowledge, that gives schools, books, paper and literature. There is the hunger for fame, that gives office, rank political parties and thrones of influence. There is the hunger for beauty that gives the fine arts and makes utility blossom and fruit. Finally, there is the hunger for affection, that gives homes, fireside songs and the 100,000 sweet flowers and fruits of service, which cannot grow without love. In vain the husbandman sows seed in February's frozen clods, but when the great lover comes, the harvest-making sun, and melts away the frost, the earth opens its arms, takes the little seeds in and broods it into life; and out of the sun-lover's warmth comes the shock and sheaf. The scholar shining with cold, white light, patronizing the poor, holding the ignorant in contempt, is impotent to influence men. But who ever yearns with compassion for the poor, seeing them as sheep that have no shepherd, has found the golden key to men's hearts.—Newell Dwight Hillis.

"The Clansman" Prohibited from Being Shown in Los Angels. "The Clansman," said to be the most elaborate and expensive moving picture ever produced in the United States, was edited yesterday preliminary to its being shown at Cleune's Auditorium. Although the film is a wonderful work from an artistic standpoint, objections have been raised by Rev. Charles Edward Locke and others on the ground that the subject is likly to arouse race feeling. The film is a "movie" version of the Thomas Dixon's novel of that name; it is a story of the uprising of the Ku Klux Klan during the reconstruction of the South. In order to consider the objections, the Board of Censors gave a private exhibition of "The Clansman" last Thursday before the members of the City Council and several individual guests among the latter being Rev. Locke. Yesterday, the censors held another meeting and announced their verdict. They ruled that four parts of the film will have to be cut out before "The Clansman" could be shown in Los Angeles. These deletion being acceded to by the proprietors of the picture, the board unanimously indorsed the picture. The National Board of Censors have also indorsed the film in New York. Rev. Locke's objections to the film were stated as follows to The Times: I am hot with indignation against it. While the mechanical construction of the picture is remarkable yet the theme is to be unquivocally denounced as as serving no educational or patriotic or entertainment purposes. It opens afresh wounds that have taken more than a generation to heal. It cannot help but arouse sensational antipathy and revive much of the animosity which, prevailed between the North and South fifty years ago. Then, as the story develops, it describes the unfortunate period of reconstruction and perpetrates such extravagant unjustice both against the whites and the Negroes that the film cannot but arouse bitter and unjust racial antagonism. It is a libel against the white people of the South and it is a positive blackmail against the Negro. It exhibits the Negro character in such perfidy and diabolism as to do a crying injustice to a large portion of our fellow-citizens, who, with great odds against them, are trying to make good. The production of these pictures would be nothing less than a piece of patriotic and moral incendiarism. The dramatic presentations of "The Clansman" have produced race riots in some parts of this country and I understand some cities have prohibited the play as deleterious to the spirit of true patriotism and fraternity and as widening the breach between the North and the South and between the white and colored citizens of America. I am sure the film will produce the same unfortunate results. I resent the imputations and falsehood of the pictures and regard them as wholly reprehensible, and I sincerely hope that the Board of Censors will prevent this exhibition, and I wish our wise Councilmen would not permit this and similar moving pictures."—Los Angeles Times.

At this time when mob violence seems to be rampant in many parts of our country, it is indeed gratifying to note the strong position which the recently inaugurated governors of South Carolina and Alabama have taken against outlawry in any of its forms. That the governors of two of the leading Southern states have put themselves on record as being inalterably and uncompromisingly opposed to such acts of outlawry as lynching and the like, brings not only encouragement to those of us who believe in law and order but an augury that the South, having grown tired of the cheap notoriety which mob violence has brought to her, is determined to wage a definite and aggressive campaign against the same. This is as it should be and can but receive not only the commendation of law abiding and law loving citizens, but their support as well. As has often, been pointed out in our columns, the South cannot hope to hold her own in competition with other sections of the country in wealth, population and industry as long as she bears the reputation of being a section in which acts of outlawry are perpetrated with seeming impunity. In her efforts to induce desirable immigrants to come to her, the South must not lose sight of the foregoing. The Governors of South Carolina and Alabama have started their administrations well. They have placed themselves on record as supporters of law and order. Let us hope that the result will be the making of South Carolina and Alabama a safe and better place in which to live. Meanwhile, let us hope that other states will follow in their wake. If genuine enthusiasm coupled with a superbly conducted program is an earnest of the promoters of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., to establish permanent and active branches of these organizations among our people in the city of Savannah, then the successful joint meeting of last Sunday, held under the auspices of these organizations fittingly attest the future of these two bodies. To say that the work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. is a worthy one is to speak mildly. No other institution, save perhaps the church itself, has had a more salutary effect upon the general life of the young people than these. Organized as they are, for the enhancement of the moral, intellectual and physical life of the young men and women, these two organizations have done their work well. Wherever they have been established a noteworthy improvement in the general life of the young people of the community becomes apparent immediately. To be associated with a Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A., is considered a badge of honor in many cities of our country. The Tribune is genuinely enthusiastic over the present movement among us to establish permanent branches of these organizations within our midst. And this enthusiasm takes on definiteness in an avowed disposition to do, all that lies within our power to make them successful. It seems to us that the cause which these two organizations represent is so just and worthy, that every well meaning man and woman of our community should seek active association with them. The Tribune again repeats its full endorsement of these two movements. May the near future see the roster of these organizations filled with the names of the men and women of Savannah who do things and who really have the development of our people at heart. EDITORIAL NOTES It is proper time for the people of Georgia to bestir themselves about the securing of appropriations from the state for the higher education of their children. As is well known, Georgia gives not one penny for the higher education of Colored children. The colored people are entitled to it. They pay sufficient tax to warrant the support of at least one first class state college and at least one agricultural and technical institution. These things will not be got unless they are asked for, and in a convincing manner. "Save a dollar more" should be a popular slogan for our people in every direction. Let the refrain be taken up by every class and be acted upon. The principal of the high school in this city took the proper stand in not countenancing his students attending dances. He justly claims that such amusements interfere with studies. It would be well if a proper sentiment could be created among our parents along this line. Our boys and girls are allowed too much latitude in attending various kinds of entertainments and being up late at nights which prevent them from properly preparing their lessons. These entertainments do not alone cause low marks in studies, but particularly the weakening of the young system. Several of the teachers of the public schools are ever alert in the endeavors to impress upon the children the necessity of refraining from attending entertainments at nights, especially during the school term. In this they should be joined by parents who are interested in the best welfare of their children. The foreign policy of our beloved country is not causing the foreigners to have the usual high regard for us. Mexico has defied us and Great Brittan has out-generaled us diplomatically. Let all of the fathers who have not done so, resolve now, henceforth and forever more, to pay one dollar a year poll tax for the education of their children. We are still boosting for the establishment of more places of business among our people, but more especially the unstinted patronage of the ones we now have. All of us are compelled to use some article from a furniture store; then a well stocked and managed furniture store in this city would be a paying investment. We invite the men of money and experience to this very ripe field. Each day we are being commended for the work that we are doing and the class of news we are giving the public. Our friends out of the city are writing us and those in the city are speaking to us about it. All of these we appreciate and they go toward spurring us on to greater endeavors. Especially can we show more civic pride by keeping clean the graves of our loved ones in the cemetery. Many of these lots are ideal spots, but some of the others badly need the hoe, rake, and the planting of flowers. With the thoughtful ones, high sounding titles as are now being so promiscuously used, are looked upon disdainfully for instance, the man who wears the title of doctor of divinity should be-all for which the degree calls. Let us be broad of mind. Should we have a difference with our neighbor along one line, do not carry it into everything else. This is only the work of a small mind. There is as much unity among our people here as can be found in any other community, yet, there is great room for improvement. This improvement will be noted when all of us leave self-out of the equation. Resolve to add at least a few cents more each month to your savings. Alabama has enacted a law prohibiting the inserting of whiskey advertisements in newspapers of that state. While we are not in favor of prohibitory measures looking toward curtailing in the least any privilege of the press, yet such a law would work not the least hardship on The Tribune, because we have long ago placed a ban against this class of advertisement. The segregation law as enacted in Atlanta met a snag in the Supreme Court of this state. It is hoped that those who are advocating a similar law in this city will take notice and act accordingly. The Morning News.very aptly says, "It seems to be a very hard matter for any city to frame a constitutional ordinance that will result in preventing white people and Negroes from residing in the same block. Baltimore had such an ordinance, but the Maryland Supreme Court knocked it out, and now the Supreme Court of Georgia has declared Atlanta's segregation ordinance invalid because, the court says, it denies the inherent right of a person to acquire, use and dispose of property and hence is violative of both the federal and state constitutions. As the decision is understood, it is hard to see how it will be possible to draw a valid segregation ordinance for any city in Georgia. It is indeed pleasing to note the increasing number of our journals, that are taking high grouns in raising the standard of the Negro press and adding to its moral tone by refraining from publishing the advertisements of whiskey dealers, hair straightening and face bleaching concoctions, fortune telling and questionable quack medicines. It is hoped that the day will come when all of our papers will be free from such advertisements. The Grand Jury of this county in its presentments on Wednesday laid particular stress on the 250 white children who are unable to get school accommodations and demand a building for them. Not one word was said about the more than 6,000 Colored children who cannot be accommodated. At the same time our white friends expect these colored children to be as apt and as well behaved as the white children. They also called attention to the need of a new building for the Massie school, but said nothing about the dilapidated condition of the building of the West Broad Street school. Our white friends should treat us more considerately. After serving the school at Bordentown, N. J., for more than eighteen years, Prof. J. M. Gregory resigned from its head, because he did not approve the making of it an industrial school. Prof. Gregory has done what but a few men would do. A LOOKER-ON Drones and Workers. The road of life is strewn with the bones of drones. Modern society is held inert by thousands who strive to do as little as they can, critics of all change, opposers of every good movement constitutional malcontents, the universe never suits them. They cry for action and when action comes they hark back to conservatism. It is this inert, unyielding mass of individuals who constitute a strong opposition to any endeavor for the betterment of conditions They receive the reward for their insensate prejudices. They are pushed aside, forced backward or flung out of the way, that good may be done. Leaders count on the presence of this element, just as an engineer or contractor figures on the amount of rock or quicksand or other natural obstacle to an edifice that is to be erected. The man who bores a tunnel or who digs a canal estimates the opposition to his purpose, calculates what will be needed to overcome it, assembles his forces and carries the undertaking through. When anyone takes the lead in a project to eradicate abuses or promote better methods, when a man comes to a town to inaugurate some needed improvement, opposition may be expected. It is a part of the work. There are first certain people whose selfish interests must give way before public good, others who resent any change, and a large number who without rhyme or reason prefer to leave things as they are. The shop-keeper who is accustomed to carelessness in the sale of meat, the dirty dairyman who demands the right to sell typhoid milk for a good price to consumers, both resent sanitary provisions. 'The death rate never bothers them while their bank accounts remains good. The incompetent or corrupt official or clerk cries out against manifest improvements in methods. Even the average householders prefers a lax enforcement of laws that inconvenience him. A large section of the com- ```markdown ``` munity desires a law enforcement about as efficient as a leaky sieve. These people see no interest except their own. To them office, employment or trade is a shnecure. They demand something for nothing, a day's pay for three hour's work. [1] A Feeling of Real SATISFACTION DEPOSITS DEPOSITS BANK BOOK Fortunately, such people though united in a vague way for disorder can never reach an agreement. They are too selfish to compromise for their own interest ever. They resent or complain and stop there. Thus their numerical importance is discounted by their general weakness and known uselessness. But no leader can do much alone. He must have willing workers, who are in sympathy with his hopes and plans and who give loyal and honest service to the cause in which they are enlisted.. It is indeed a part of leadership that it attracts men of good will as the magnet draws iron. Such a body of men has cohesion, clear disconcernment and well directed energy. This is the secret of success. The soul of an army is its espirit de corps. The advance of a corporation or business, venture depends on numberless employees who are imbued with a sense of responsibility. Thus the manager of a railroad, the owner of a factory is present by proxy in his humblest employee. It is the disciplined army as against the unorganized mob. comes with every addition to the bank balance. The knowledge that you are so much further ahead in this world's goods is bound to be a pleasure to everyone. How different the feelings of the from saver those of the spender who must always be worrying about the future when the saver has the assurance of comfort and independdence. There is a measure of service in every line of employment that cannot be purchased for mere money. There is a something in the breast of a normal worker which leads him to give more than is demanded by regulations. He has a joy in well done work and claims the victories won and the results obtained as in part his own. JOIN the throng of the satisfied by opening and account here. Don't put put it off until you have accumulated what you consider a respectable sum as a starter. Remember that in addition to the temptation to spend, money kept in your pocket means, a loss to you for it earns no interest. It is from the ranks of such men that leaders are recruited. They may start anywhere along the line, but invariably they are men who do just a little more than is asked of them. The drone worker remains stationary. He is like the block in the pavement over which the traffic roars until it is worn out and replaced by a similar block. Certain workmen cherish a curious resentment against the corporation that gives them bread and butter. They work against their will. They have no heart in what they are doing, no interest in progress made. They give the minimum of service and exact the last cent of pay. For this reason they are condemned by their own disposition to be journeymen all their lives. A dolllar in the bank is safer than two in the pocket. The willing worker diffuses good. He rejoices his employer, he benefits the public, and is contented himself. The old soldier tells of the campaigns of his general as if he had planned each one in the commander's tent and had fought it out at his general's side. It, was because of this that he fought so well. The Wage Earners Savings Bank The aged railroad man is equally enthusiastic on the subject of the road. It is his road and the efficiency of its service is the joy of his heart. These are qualities incommunicable, but happy is-the man who possesses them and fortunate the employer who can enlist such assistants. The Pioneer Negro Savings Bank of Georgia Thus in every branch of business, in every avenue of trade are tried and true men who work well because they know no other way and scout every other. They are the men who escape the original cause of labor. They earn their bread by the sweat of their brows, but to them the bread is sweeter and the labor jolly. Each day brings to them a satisfaction to be obtained, in no other way, of good and willing service, loyal cooperation and the consciousness of upright life.

Urban League Work Meeting Approval. At a meeting of Success Lodge, No 2, Ancient Order of Knights of Damon, held Friday night of last week the work of the Urban League was presented by Mr. Jake Wright and he made an appeal to the lodge in its behalf. Without a dissenting vote the lodge agreed to donate from its treasury one dollar each month for the Urban League. This is the first institution to go on record to give in such a manner to this laudable cause. The league is indebted to Mr. Wright for bringing this matter to the attention of the lodge and to its members for so readily agreeing to make the donation. What Success lodge has done others can do.

Mrs. Eliza Lowe was born in Waynesboro, Ga., fifty-two years ago. She was a devout christian, conscientious in her belief in a true and living God. In the face of adversity she was known to ever present a smiling countenance and she never ceased to declare her belief in the omnipotence of our Savior. May her ashes rest in peace, for her soul goes onward to the God that gave it, and those who knew her can but bemoan the loss of such an estimable light. For verily she was a light whose illumination brightened the pathway of an invalid husband and made less cumbersome the weight three fond children had to carry. She is gone but her memor ywill ever remain sacred. The turmoil of this life shall know her no more, for she has passed unto our Father who art in heaven. Sleep on, Mrs. Lowe, sleep on. May you find that peace for which your soul hungered, and of which you often spoke, in that heaven "where congregations ne'er break up and Sabbath has no end."

Oh how swiftly the time is passing, Since your spirit took its flight, To yonder's home prepared for angels, With their robes of spotless white, Do I miss you,? yes, my darling, The wound in my heart has never been healed, And the parting seems as just to-day; But your heavenly father calls you home or my soul, To Him who doeth all things well, And together for good, Sleep on, my darling, Deaths Mr. I. M. Sneed died on the4th of this month and was buried the following Sunday. He was son of Mr. Ben Sneed and brother of Mrs. J. White, of New York, and Mr. B. V. Sneed of this city.

She is survived by a husband, Mr. Thomas J. Lowe, two daughters, Misses Neuzetta and Julia Lowe and a son, Mr. Thomas. J. Lowe, Jr. Mr. John S. Quarterman after an illness of about six weeks died on Friday afternoon of last week at his late residence, 619 Bolton street, west, and was buried on last Sunday afternoon.

Gilliard was very prominent in fraternal circles, being a member of the Knights of Pythias, Masons, Mosaic Templars, Courts of Calanthe and the Eastern Star. In each of these organizations he was a potent factor. He was a contractor and builder by profession and as such was recognized as a master craftman. Many a landmark, the product of his skill remains as a silent reminder that he has lived. Among these may be noted his own residence, modern in every detail—commodious and fashionable. As a husband and father, he was patient and kind and provident. As a friend, he was constant, true and hospitable. As a citizen, he was progressive and patriotic and as a craftman, true to obligations. He was a christian and always pleasant and companionable and charitable. Cards of Thanks Mr. E. N. P.

Every day we hear of positions, once held by Colored men but now given to whites. These changes are not made along any particular line, but they begin from the most humble day laborer and extend clear through to the most skilled profession. Sympathy, ability nor politics can no longer stem the tide, and as a result the percentage of Negro employment is seriously lowered each year. The Ga Mutual is doing its part in making up-for this deficiency and you can do yours by taking with us some insurance. It will serve for two purposes; first—the one just mentioned; second--as a protection against losses by sickness and death. GA. MUTUAL INS. CO. Branch Office----509 W. Broad St. H. T. Singleton.

FANNY CROSBY DIED IN HER 95TH YEAR Wrote About 8,000 Hymns Bridgeport, Conn., Feb. 12. Fanny Crosby, well known hymn writer, died to-day at her home in her 95th year. Miss Crosby's death was not unexpected as her health has been failing for some time. At her bedside were her niece, Mrs. Henry D. Booth, and other members of the family, with whom she long had made her home. In spite of feeble health, Miss Crosby continued writing hymns up to the time of her death. Eight thousand hymns of christian worship sung in Protestant churches throughout the world, are the work of Fanny Crosby. No one since the days of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has made anywhere near as large a contribution to the gospel song book as did the blind writer whose death occurred to-day. Fanny Crosby's name was signed so regularly as author of one hymn after another that the hymn book makers of a quarter of a century ago were forced to give her some, 200 different pen names to make it appear that someone besides the famous writer had contributed. Thousands-perhaps hundreds of thousands-who sang her songs, which were translated into every language, did not know that it was a blind woman's inspiration which they employed to express their Christian faith and hope in song. "Saved by Grace," "Blessed Assurance," "Rescue the Perishing" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," are typical of Miss Crosby's most popular religious verses. Of the latter the writer has related an incident showing the remarkable rapidity with which she employed her inspiration and her talents of versification. W. H. Doane, who wrote the music for many of her verses, had called one morning at Miss Crosby's home in New York. "I must take a train to Cincinnati in forty minutes," he said, 'and I have some music for which I want you to write a hymn.' "I think I can write it, Mr. Doane,' I said. "I hurried up stairs and sat down to write. For some time I was entirely oblivious of surroundings. When I came back to my full senses the hymn was written and was on the paper before me I learned that I had only taken 15 minutes. Triumphantly I carried it down to Mr. Doane. The music he played then and the words I had hurriedly written are the same as used to-day in singing 'Safe in the Arms of Jesus.' "It was my most successful hymn, and I believe it was dictated by the spirit of the Lord, and that it was born for a mission." Wrote Popular Melodies. But Fanny Crosby did not begin hymn writing until she was over 40 years of age. Fifty years ago she was best known for her popular melodies which were whistled all over the country, such as "Proud World Goodbye, I'm Going Home," "Hazel Dell," "The Honeysuckle Glen" and "Never Forget the Dear Ones." Born in Putnam county, New York state, March 24, 1820, christened Frances Jane Crosby, and married Alexander Van Alstyne, a blind music teacher who died many years ago, the blind writer lived to be 94 years old. Her mother had lived to be 102 and her grandmother to be 106. She retained to the last, all of her faculties—excepting eyesight. She lost this during a fever in infancy when a hot poultice was applied to her eyes, destroying the optic nerve. At 8 years the little girl displayed her first talent in versification by this philosophy of contentment: Oh, what a happy soul am I, Although I cannot see; I am resolved that in this world Contented I will be. How many blessings I enjoy, That other people don't; To weep and sigh because I'm blind, I cannot and I won't. For twelve years she studied at the New York Institution for the Blind. She never learned to read by the raised letters. Playing the guitar while a child she so calloused her fingers that they were not sensitive enough to read the raised characters. All she learned she memorized from hearing. During her connection with the institution, which included an additional twelve years as a teacher, she traveled all over the country declaiming her own verses. Before both houses of Congress she once recited these special lines: "O ye, who here from every state convene. Illustrious band! may we not hope the scene You now behold will prove to every mind Instruction hath a ray to cheer the blind?" A New Organization In response to a call sent out by Mannie Houstoun, a number of men, met Monday night, at 458 West Broad street to discuss the advisability of perfecting an organization, the object of which will be to bring together its members from time to time to discuss questions affecting the Negro race. A nucleus of 30 is ready to carry forward the organization and a second meeting will be held next Thursday night at 458 West Broad street at which time the constitution and by-laws will be adopted and a name chosen for the organization .A live discussion is scheduled for the next meeting.

Memory Veres, 10, 11—Golden Txt, Jas. 1, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST. JULIAN WEST AND 23 JEFFERSON ST As we read this chapter and the two following and vii, 1, 2, we cannot but notice the frequent mention of the ark of the Lord, or the ark of God, or some of its other titles, and when we recall that it was the principal vessel in the tabernacle and the only one of all the tabernacle vessels that continued to be used in the temple of Solomon, that it was made specially to be a receptacle for the two tables of the law, that over its blood stained lid or mercy seat and between the cherubim the glory of the Lord was revealed, and that from above the mercy seat the Lord communed with Moses, we must be persuaded that this vessel had a wonderful significance. And when we read in Rev. xi, 19, of the temple of God in heaven being opened and there being seen in it the ark of His Testament we stand in still greater awe before this holy vessel. It is mentioned forty times in the books of Moses and twenty-eight times in Joshua, chiefly in connection with the crossing of the Jordan. In our lesson chapter and those following it is mentioned thirty-seven times, so that we can easily see that the interest centers upon it. Lesson verse 2 shows us Israel smitten before the Philistines, and we think that we hear again the words of Joshua, "O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?" (Josh. vll. 8.) But, as then, so now, it was because of sin in the camp. As the elders considered the present defeat they did not seem to think that the difficulty might be with Israel, nor did they turn to the Lord, but said, "Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may save us" (verse 3). The presence of the ark caused Israel to shout with a great shout, and when the Philistines understood that it was because the ark was come into the camp they said that God was come into the camp, the gods that smote the Egyptians. On the part of both Israel and the Philistines it seemed like pure superstition. The latter knew no better, but for Israel to put confidence in the ark rather than in the Lord reminds us of their worship of Aaron's golden calf and, away beyond the time of this lesson, their worship of the serpent of brass (II Kings xvill. 4).

Is it not the same today with those who think there is any benefit in the mere reading of a chapter in the Bible, or saying a prayer, or taking the communion, or in any religious formality? Anything that is not real heart dealing with the Living God is only a form of superstition. The Philistines were stirred to great fervor by the cry of their leaders, "Be strong; quit yourselves like men and fight" (verse 9), and the Lord delivered Israel into their hands so that 30,000 were slain, including Ell's two sons, and the ark of God was taken (verses 10, 11). Poor old Ell waited with fear and trembling for tidings from the battle, and when he heard the sad news and that the ark of God had been taken he fell off his seat backward and broke his neck and died. He was ninety-eight years old and had judged Israel forty years (verses 12-18). I think that while outwardly it was a broken neck it may have been inwardly a broken heart. In the same day it seems as if Phinehas' wife was also taken away (verses 19-22), so that a great calamity came to the house of Ell in one day (ii, 34). Thus suddenly have great events transpired again and again, and so shall it be at the end time. SUBSCRIBE For The Tribune The story of the ark in the hands of the Phillistines (chapters v and vi) makes us think of Jerusalem, a burdensome stone for all people, and that all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces (Zech. xii, 3). The Phillistines found the ark a very grievous thing to have in their midst, and after a few months (vl. 1) they were glad to send it back to Israel. The story of the new cart and the two milk cows tied to it, with their calves shut up at home and the cows taking the straight way to Beth-Shemesh, lowing as they went, but not turning aside to the right hand or to the left (vl. 7-12), is a wonderful record of the hand of the Lord upon dumb beasts and brings to mind the dominion over all sheep and oxen, beasts of the field, fowl of the air and fish of the sea that has had some foreshadowings all the way along, but will be fully seen when the kingdom comes (Ps. vill, 6-9; Heb. ii, 8, 9).

The men of Beth-Shemesh rejoiced greatly to welcome the ark, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrifices unto the Lord, but they made a sad mistake when they looked into the ark, and they suffered greatly for it. As we said at the beginning of this study, the ark was made to keep the holy law of God, which Israel could not keep. The blood sprinkled upon the mercy seat from year to year (Lev. xv) told of the demands of the law met by a substitute, even Christ, the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (Rom. x, 4). Life never was nor could be by the law, which can only bring us all in guilty before God and is therefore called the ministration of death (Gal. tl, 21; Rom. tl, 19; II Cor. tl, 7). NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Those were pioneer days in this WEEKLY LETTER line. The main object and aim of the local branch of the National Negro Business League is to be instrumental in moulding a favorable, concrete sentiment for the members of the race who are engaged in some line of business in this immediate community. Public sentiment is the strongest power to which human welfare may make its appeal. Every impulse and every effort for the betterment of mankind has sought to employ this agency as the means to attain whatever the beneficent purpose in view. Thus, a number of public spired, plain clothes, unostentatious Negro business men have banded themselves together in an unselfish way for the purpose, pure and simple, of stimulating trade among each other in their several lines. Hence, it will be seen from the brief out line above, that those of us who may be engaged in some line of business in this community that it will be necessary for us in order to hold what we have and add to it from time to time, to look well to the upkeep of our stock and see to it that no one goes away dissatisfied. Stay Close to the People The Negro business man, we must admit, above all other men engaged in business, finds himself peculiarly situated. These peculiar conditions in which he finds himself, are only stepping stones to higher and greater things; provided he uses well the things he has in hand. The desires and wishes of the people must be considered at all times. If the other fellow engaged in a similar business as we ourselves are, and ninety five per cent of whose trade comes directly from our own kith and kin, as a result of the other fellow having his customers to realize that he is painstaking, polite and accommodating, then why may we not emulate this one virtue at last? Again, Mr. Negro Business Man, get close to the people. Give the People a Square Deal. If a business man, firm or corporation who have been entrusted with the confidence of the people and because of selfishness and egotism forget the ladder upon which they ascended, the people are bound to be reckoned with in the issue, though delayed, becomes all the more severe on that account. The saddest thing conceivable is retribution that comes at the end of a business career fraught with down-right selfishness, when that man, firm or corporation who was at one time the cherished hope and idol of the community is cast down and rejected. Such an unfortunate end is likely to be pathetic if not tragic. Therefore, the Negro Business League pleads with our men engaged in business to give all of our people a fair and square deal, as it certainly will pay in the end. Great Enterprises from Small Be- ginnings Somewhere in holy writ we have these words: "Despise not the days of small things." This proverb has come down the ages to us, out of the heart of the wisest and best business man of his day. Herein lies the secret of the success of our greatest business geniuses. No man can handle great business, affairs who is unmindful of the day of small things. Those of us who are engaged in business and are meeting with temporary success, should be all the more mindful from the fact it is much more easy to fall than to rise. In the experience of every, casual observer who is twenty years old, perhaps he has seen what he regarded as being preat businesses go down. He has also seen what was generally regarded as no business at all, wax strong and furnish profitable employment to many of the deserving young men and young women of the race. Insurance companies fair exam- ple. The Negro industrial insurance companies which are unquestionable furnishing more young men and women employment than any other line of business engaged in by our people had their day too of small beginning. The writer remembers full well, some seventeen years ago, as he was making his rounds, trying to assist a few other faithful ones in laying a foundation along this special line of Negro business endeavor, that many members of the race who now are enthusiastic over industrial insurance as we ourselves were frank to say to us: "You fellows better get yourselves a job and let that policy thing alone." Those were days of small things. Backward look of pride. The Negro industrial insurance man looks back upon those pioneer days in this line of business which is doing so much for the deserving young men and women of the race, with a great deal of pride, pleasure and profit. We are proud because we had enough "stick-to-it-iveness" in us not to become discouraged and turn loose pleasure, because a new field has been opened up for a number of young men and women of the race and profit, not only for compensation which comes to those who may be directly in charge of affairs, but the profit from being members of these Negro insurance companies during the hours of sickness, accidents and death. These among others are some of the principles for which the local branch of the National Negro Business League stands, which meets at the headquarters, Alice and West Broad streets, Wage Earngrs Bank building, the first Wednesday and the third Friday evenings in each month. WANTS A GRAND MASTER WHO WILL ATTEND TO HIS DUTIES. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15, 1915. To the Odd Fellows of Georgia. Dear Brothers-- The District Grand Secretary is now sending out blanks to the lodges of Georgia for us to sign to have our policies raised. The contract is the most drastic I have ever seen or heard of. It is contrary to both the general and endowment laws. It seems that the Grand Master of Georgia is either incompetent for the position he holds or he has only his salary in view; he does not seem to show any agility whatever in the management of his office. He must leave the whole affair of the office to the District Grand Secretary. The District Grand Secretary has the duties of his own office, to look after and should not be burdened with the duties of the Grand Master. I don't think the Grand Master gives the interest of the order any thought except to draw his salary of $125.00 and his clerk hire $35.00 (his wife) per month. He has not kept a single promise he made before he went to Savannah. I have one of his letters he wrote me before he went to Savannah, making great promises! I soon found that he was only trying to get by so he could raise his salary from $75.00 to $125.00 per month and pay his clerk $35.00 per month. He should be made to pay the $1200.00 back to the order that he has drawn over what the law provide for. I think the matter of raising the policies should be referred to the Grand Lodge, because $500.00 is more than can be paid for 50 cents per month. We as Odd Fellows don't want to see the order go to pieces in Georgia. There is a lot of dissatisfaction among the brethren about raising the policies. I believe every brother would willingly give what he has paid in sinking funds to the order rather than see it go to pieces. I think the Grand Master should issue a proclamation referring the raising of policies to Athens. I had much rather have a $300.00 policy that is bona fide than to have one for more that will have some doubt about it in the future. Suppose the Grand Master appoint a committee to look into the raising of the policies and have them to report to the Grad Lodge for approval. We have about thirty thousand policies in force at $500.00 each, amounting to fifteen million dollars and the Household has about twenty thousand policies in force at $200.00 each amounting to four million dollars against total assets of between three and five hundred thousand dollars, so you can see the conditions. We can pay the $500.00 for a while, but it will not stand very long. I am also informed that the monthly income will not pay the death claims at the rate they are coming to the office and they are sure to be very much heavier than they are now. The Grand Master must not give the order any thought or consideration atall. We must elect a Grand Master who will attend to the duties of his office. W. H. Chivers, adv 51½ S.

Among the number of papers to be read before the State Medical association, at Augusta, May 19-20-21, will be the paper read by Dr. J. W. Madison, of Atlanta, showing the position of the physicians relative to the industrial insurance. There is a sentiment being formed in the state for the purpose of enacting laws to incriminate the physician from signing the certificates. The physicians owe it to patients to protect their health to the extent of their professional ability, the point is made, without having in mind any thought of the amount of insurance they carry. It is the insurance company that oversells the policy holder and they are the ones responsible for the money. Augusta being the home of two of the largest insurance companies, Pilgrim and Georgia Mutual, the contents of this paper will be of unusual interest to both the policy holders and the companies throughout the state.—Colored department, Macon Telegraph. Negro Press Association Meets. well as to call the attention of the large advertising firms to the value of using space in these publications, was adopted and turned over to the advertising committee Tenth-A certificate of membership on the order of a pledge card, that has for its purpose the cementing of friendly relations between the several publications, as well as to discourage newspaper differences, such cards to be hung in the office of each publication belonging to the association, was ordered printed and distributed to the members! Eleventh-Upward of fifty communications from absent members of the association, many of whom sent their annual dues and others, asking the association to take actions on important matters effecting the race was read and the corresponding secretary instructed to reply to them. Twelfth-A new Vigilance Committee, with one member to remain in Washington, D. C., was appointed. The function of the committee as pointed out is to keep the publications posted on the text of bills introduced in both Houses of Congress effecting the race. Thirteenth—The plan of centralizing the meetings recommended and adopted at the Muscogee session received a hearty endorsement. Fourteenth—A resolution was adopted disqualifying all publications to membership which fail to pay their annual dues for 191415 by April 14. In addition to all these a numbers of committees were appointed to perform various duties and to report at the next annual session. While the press representatives were in the city many of the Nashville members and business men extended social courtesies, among which was a banquet in the assembly room at the residence of Dr. R. H. Boyd, 1602 Heiman street, where covers were laid for fifty; an automobile ride, through the courtesy of Rev. Preston Taylor; a luncheon by Mr. W. M. Sanders, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; a theater party by Mr. A. N. Johnson; with dinner to members of the association by Drs. E. B. Jefferson, C. H. Clark, Mr. J. Blaine Boyd, Mr. L. Landers, Rev. W. S. Ellington, Mrs. Sarrah Page, Mrs. H. A. Boyd. Prominent among the newspaper representatives in attendance from other cities were: C. J. Perry, Philadelphia, Pa.; Miss Elizabeth Jones, Pittsburg, Pa.; Dr. E. A. Williams, and Jos. L. Jones, Cincinnati, Ohio; Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee, Ala.; J. D. Kent, Birmingham, Ala.; W. L.

Rosser, Jackson, Tenn.; T. G. Stewart, Wilberforce, O. Augmenting these was a large membership located at Nashville. It is understood that this city is in the race for the central location of the annual sessions. At the last meeting of the board of directors of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., B. J. Davis, editor of the Independent, was elected a-member of the Board. 3 DECISION FOR IKE GRIFFIN OVER HOCK BONES. Savannah Pugilist Wins Scrap in Charleston, S. C. Charleston, S. C., Feb. 17th Ike Griffin, of Savannah, scored a complete victory over Hock Bones, of New Orleans, in the main bout at the Flag Athletic club last night. Police Sergt. Cantwell ordered the bout stopped in the ninth round. Griffin had his opponent staggering about the ring and it was a matter of only several more telling blow before Bones would have tumbled to the canvas. One of the largest crowds of the season saw the bout. The men agreed to fight with a clean break and were cautioned that the rule would be enforced strictly. With this in mind they fought one of the cleanest battles yet staged at the Flag. Bones was easily the favorite when the bout began, and encouraged by his supporters got a shade the better of the fighting in the first round. Griffin was best in the second, third, fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth. The fourth was Bones', while the sixth was a draw. Griffin forced the fighting and his right hand hammering blows were delivered with telling effect. He brought blood to Bones in the second round with a stinging left to the nose. In the seventh a terrific right to Bones' left eye that Griffin used him as a punching bag until the police stopped the bout. Griffin appeared to have been unhurt after the battle. This is his second decision over Bones, their second meeting here being declared a draw. Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. will continue its membership rally on next Sunday at St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets. The meeting promise to be interesting as well as important.
