News of the death of General Robert Smalls at his home in Beaufort, S. C., early this week will be received with much sad- ness by Negroes throughout ice country, who are conversant with the memorable deeds_ac- complished by members of the Negro race during the dark days of the Civil war. The general had been, sick for ten months and the end came at his home on Prince street, with the immediate members of the family at his bedside. In the death of General Smalls, a career of 75 years, full of many deeds of valor and of triumph, and of striving manly on every side for the uplift and benefit of his race was brought to a close. He was borh in Beaufort, S. C., on April 5, 1839, and was a river pilot by profession. He was well acquainted with the waters around South Carolina and after the Civil war broke out was used as a pilot on a privateer, the Planter which was fitted up by the Confederates as a gunboat. Smalls conceived the idea of giving over the boat to the Yan- kees. This he confided to his | brother, chief engineer, and seve | eral Negro deck hands. They all. agreed. It was the custom of the officers to sleep ashore every night and so Smalls decided that one night while the officers were away would be a good time to make away with the boat. Fin- ally one night, when everything had been prepared, Smalls and his courageous crew cut loose the lines and started on their jour- ney to the Yankees. Smalls knew all the signs and pass words of the Confederates. Several times during the voyage the ship was stopped by the Confederates, once by the sentinel at Fort Sumpter, but .upon being hailed by the watch, he sounded the counter- sign with the whistle and was-al- lowed to pass. When within sight of the Union fleet, he ran up a white flag and delivered his ship to the com-, mander of the fleet. For this deed Smalls was ccm- mended by Congress and on ac- count of his thorough knowledge of navigation around South Car- olina he was retained as pilot and given a commission by the Gov- ‘ernment on the steamer he had turned over to them. After the war Smalls served several terms in the legislature of South Carolina and served as a Republican in the 44th, 45th 48th and 48th Congresses; was appointed collector of Port of Beaufort, S. C., by President Mc Kinley, and served in this office until 1913." * An account of General Smalls funeral will be given in next Sat-| urday’s Tribune. An Old Resident of Augusta Dead. | Mrs. Nancy Russell, an old and well known resident of Augusta, passed away after a short illness. She was 87 years of age, and was known for her charity and her jovable disposition. She is sur- vived by three ‘sons and three daughters: Mr. H. F. Russell of Jacksonville, Fla.; Mr. E. W. Rus- sell, of Fort Myers, Fla, and Mr. Wm. Russell of Augusta; Mrs. A, L. Tweedy formerly ‘of Sa-| vannah, but now of New York City, Mrs. E. Harris of Eastman, Ga,, and Mrs. C. L, McKine of Augusta, Ga., and also several grand children and five great- grand children. The funeral took | place at Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Tuesday 17 inst, and was large- ly attended by white and colored. Many beautiful floral designs were received. ee ee “JIM CROW” BILL DEAD. House Refuses to take it up in Place of Fortification Ap- Propriation. ’ Washington, Feb. 22—A “Jim Crow” car law for the District of Columbia, so far as this ses- sion is concerned, is dead. By a vote of 179 to 99 the House to- day refused to set aside consider- ation of the Fortifications Ap- propriations Bill and take up the “Jim Crow” Bill. As there will be no more Dis- trict days in the House this ses- sion, there is little probability of the measure being considered in any other way. ANOTHER OPEN LETTER TO THE ODD FELLOWS OF GEORGIA o- ‘Brethren:- * . _ On the 8h of this month I gave my first open letter in which I told you only part of the in- tolerable conditions that have ‘been and are now existing in the ‘Management of your affairs in the Order in this state which you did ‘not know and I doubt seriously that you would have ever known had-I not told you. Iam not given to noticing trash that would get in my eyes an cause the loss of their sight ex; cept that the Independent is no! manly enough to come out in the ‘open as I did over my own sjg- nature and hit below the belt a brother who would dare attact the unofficial acts of their ser- vants. Under date of February 2oth, there appeared an article in the Independent purporting to be written by one Jackson McHenry, under; the caption “Camp Fol- lowers” and in the article the Captain (?) went on to assail the thousands ‘pf loyal Odd Fellows f6t the stand they take in differ- ing with the bosses and would-be perpetual office holders when, as a matter of fact, McHenry had slo more to do with the writing of that article than I had to do with the writing of the Declaration of Independence. It was quite amusing to read that article which the Captian did not write and it was all the more amusing when you corisider that the Captain is fond of news- paper notoriety and that it does ‘not matter to him who the author is just since it is placed over the signature of Jackson McHenry. The people of Georgia for the. most part are well acquainted. with Jackson McHenry, they know what he stands for and they: also know that he has been a cheap curbstone political “Camp Follower” all his life and is still following and being a henchman for certain Odd Fellow bosses in order to make his ends meet. The people of Georgia know that Jackson McHenry is an old broken down politician that lost his job when collector Blalock put him out of the Custom House, and they know, too, that Jackson McHenry has almost been a pub- lic charge since he was literally thrown out of his job as janitor, for talking too much. The great and mighty Captain has very patiently waited nearly seventy years to discover that most Negro men had no sense, and Iam at a loss to know where- in he has shown any great amount since he has nothing to show in comparison to the very men he is now assailing because they as- sert their manhood rights. The: Captain is a consummate tool of certain interests and will get up out of his bed any hour in the night to carry out their unholy designs and what the-Cap- tain expects to gain by such tac; tics does not occur clearly to me becaitse the people are going to speak in no uncertain terms mext August “That they will rule in spite of the bosses”, and the Cap- tain will be walking the strects of Atlanta with almost bare feet begging for help. When the Captain was thrown out of the Custom House the first thing he did was to go to the Odd Fellows building and pro- claim “I have done so much for my people and now I am old and wishes to bespeak for the busi- (Continueé on last page) Guaranty Semi- Annual -Statement “MAKES FINE SHOWING Has Nearly $500,00.00 Worth 6f Insurance in Force—118 Per- sons Employed by Company.

After in- specting fhe properties in that state he asked the owner of the farm he decided to buy’ to come on and close the deal. . Arriving at Helden’s yester- day, the farm owner found the Helden house-hold goods packed ready for shipment to Wisconsin. Everything had been loaded on a wagon except a ‘Vicious dog and its: kennel. Telling his visitor to produce the deed, Helden untied the dog and chained him to the wagon. With a spade he then dug from beneath the kennel a box, from which he took $4,000 in gold, which*he handed to the Western man. In addition to the $4,000, Helden said, at least that much more money was in the box with which he intended -to purchase stock and operate his farm. This money he had been ac- cumulating under the kennel for years. . . Sea Side News, Blufton, S. C. J.

On the second Sunday in next month the First-African Bap- tist Church, Franklin square, will “hold a meeting, at which time a pastor will be called. Much interest centers in this meeting as this church, together with the F. B. B. Church holds the distinction of being the old- est Negro, Baptist church in the country. It is also the largest in membership. Among the twenty-five or more candidates for the charge are some of the leading ministers of the denomination, several of them holding pastorates in some of the large cities, that are con- sidered excéllent. ‘Judging -from present indica- tions, however, the pastor to get the place will most likely be chosen from the following four: Rey. T. J. Goodall, of Jackson, Tenn; Rev. R. C. Judkins Mont- gomery, Ala.; Rev. A. W. Bry- ant, Valdosta, Ga.; and Rev. S. L. Hutchins, of Columbus, Ga. The church- is overhaling the parsonage which is situated at the, corner of Maple lane and Weét Broad streets, and when finished the minister who is call- ed tg the pastorate of the church will enjoy one of the finest houses in the city occupied by Negroes. | Over Home News, Beaufort, S.

A Forecast of Spring and Summer Fabrics Waists are Made Severely Plain, While Skirts are Full and Flaring BELTS AND PEASANT'S BASQUES New York, February 27—The Spring has a variety of styles which run the gamut of those we have had, only in new forms, and those inspired by Russia, France, Belgium and Holland. The full skirt, however, is without doubt, the first in style, whether inspired by peasant skirts or Victorian crinoline. It may be cut circular, gorged with as many gores as nine, straight pleated or gathered, the requirement, being that it flares at the bottom. The Dutch costumes are particularly suited to the young girl. They often have a broad strap over the shoulders, with a, blouse buttoning straight down the center front. The skirt is full, with a slight bulging at the hips. Sometimes these dresses are topped with a short Dutch jacket White or Delft blue are favored colors for this style of dress. © MCCALL A Frock Severely Plain But Smartly Stylish Bolero effects are to be seen in waist as well as in jackets and will no doubt, be particularly smart for summer dress. Linen, pique and poplin being materials which will make up into stunning little suit with a coat on this style. Severity seems to be the strong note for waists, but they must have particular style, which is, of course, hard to attain, although it lies greatly in the placing of trimming. Buttons are all that is considered correct on many of them. The illustration shows a dress with a plain but smartly cut waist buttoning up the front with cloth-covered buttons. The side pieces of the waist continue on the skirt and form a side yoke. The completed costume has an unusual style and charm which is accentuated by tan prunella cloth in which it is made. An extremely cunning little hat is worn with this dress, showing a sailor shape with rather high crown narrowing slightly at the top. It is made in sand-colored taffeta and trimmed with a single band of chocolate-colored velvet ribbon, ending in short streamers in the back. It has very good style and in conservation good taste, a quality which American women demand before all others. The second illustration shows a dress with the ever-fashionable surplice closing waist. The 'skirt is gored with the stylish flare at the lower edge and the waist is cut slightly short. The braiding on the waist and skirt is done with the round silk braid, which is having a vogue even stronger than the soutache braid. The seperate blouse is made on the same severe lines of the bodices of frocks. They are made of crepe de Chine and voile and chiffon cloth over a thin silk lining. Small cloth-covered but- tons to match the material of the waist and pockets, sometimes made with a fancy flap, are the only trimming. They are often buttoned from the top of the high collar to the waist line, while others are made with the low collars. Organdy is combined with butter-colored lace. Houston braid in this same color is used as an applique on white organdy and black mousseline de soie. The wool fabrics for spring are largely plain fabrics. Serge, that wonderful standby, is one of the first sellers, together with gabardine., Cheviot is the novelty, and a very practical one. Checks in black and white are shown in a variety of materials, also dark blue and white. A very fine invisible check is considered very smart, it comes in many smooth fabrics, like prunella and novelty chiffon broadcloths or lady's cloth. Of the heavier cotton fabrics, a cotton gabardine stands among the first sellers. This fabric has a high lustre and is very effective. Materials with a corded effect are used almost more than anything else for dresses of either heavy or sheer weight. The lighter weight first introduced by French and English manufacturers is called "filete". And, hence, any fabric with a corded wave, such as voile or crepe is said to have a flite finish. Voile is the most fashionable of the cotton fabrics, because of its softness and its durability. Dotted Swiss and marquisette are two other materials which rank very close in popularity to voile Net in black over white and colored nets are very smart for elaborate frocks. Pink and blue nets make delightful evening frocks and are trimmed with jet. The styles of the summer dresses make it a certainty that embroidery and lace flouncing will be used a great deal in their development. The embroidery flouncings have a background for voile and crepe as well as very sheer lawn and batiste. Organdy, too is embroidered and makes a light and airy flouncing for summer dresses. The Belgian lace centers are producing no lace and the French very little, so most of the imported lace comes from Plauen or St. Gall. Chantilly, Spanish and Lire lace are among the more expensive ones, while shadow lace may be had in a wide variety of designs and prices, and its light and delicate designs make exquisite frocks for evening wear. © MCCALK Braiding Proves an Effective Trimming on this Dress Belts and girdles are forming an important feature on the gowns of to-day. Some are plain, and of the fabric of the dress it is worn with, others are of contrasting material and embroidered richly. Some of the girdles, lacing up the back or front, and pointed or rounding, made of contrasting silk or of velvet. Ribbons, especially of velvet, are having a strong vogue, as they seem to belong to the crin- oline period from which so many spring dresses are designed. The hats of the year continue to be mostly small, although a few large ones are to be seen, and very smart they are, too. This vogue for small hats has made the veils extremely popular, and they are shown in numerous styles. The wide floating veil which comes almost, if not quite to the shoulders is very becoming and popular. These are in different meshes, plain and dotted and usually have either a bias fold on the edge or a narrow piece of ribbon stitched on THE IMAGINATIVE FACULTY IN BUSINESS. By Aiken A Pope, Prof., Ga. State College, read before the Negro Business League It would seem rather presumptious on my part to be speaking from my limited and purely theoretical knowledge to an organization of hard-headed, practical business men who are dealing with concrete problems of dollars and cents; income and outgo, every day. It is, however, just this fact of theory and imagination that has made the modern business world what it is. Hence, I have chosen to speak of the "Imaginative Faculty in Business". You will pardon me, I am sure, if I seem to talk down to you. The nature of the subject may at times demand a certain air of dictation and authority. I assure you that such attitude will not arise from any personal inclination but merely for a better emphasizing the subject. Let us take a retrospective glance at the economic world. Prior to 1820 we find no great national or international banking institutions; no immense, and complicated credit facilities; no investments of capital on a large scale. It is almost impossible for us to conceive in this day and time of the methods of production and commerce in that period The system of hand production prevailed. There were no middlemen, as we know them; most trade was local. Peddling was the form of trade between villages and cities. Every family was a productive unit and manufactured most of its supplies. On such a scale of production, concentration of men in industry and the accumulation of capital in large amounts was unprofitable, if not impossible. Nor was there any need of large aggregations of capital, trade being local, and transportation inconsiderable, and quite primitive. There were no railroads or steamship lines and the introduction of electrical transportation is within the memory of many of us. The decade from 1820 to 1830, however, saw a sudden and mighty revolution take place. There were discovered in rapid succession, steam and the steam engine, the steam-boat, the railway engine, the spinning jenny, the power loom. These discoveries made concerted action on a large scale possible. From that very period we can trace the growth of the modern or capitalistic system. Capital began to be accumulated through the medium of savings banks, stock and bonding houses. Investment began to be a bigger and larger thing. Men invested their money in enterprises which they never saw. This method of investment was found on an imaginative faculty which begat confidence. Enormous banking firms, such as the Rothchilds, Baring and Morgan arose and gave us the modern credit system. This latter provides for the financing of a railroad in Africa, a mine in China, a wheat crop in Russia, or a cotton crop in the South. This mighty credit system is so delicate that a shortage in the Argentine wheat crop affects prices in New York, Paris, London, or Pekin, while a strike in Chicago stock yards sends prices soaring in South America, and Australia as well. Along with this stupendous amassing of productive capital and perfecting of the enormous credit facilities, by which the great world of business is carried on, transportation developed from peddlers and pack horses to mighty transcontinental railroad systems. International steamship lines became the medium for the exchange of commodities between countries; and together with the railroads made possible the specialization of industry by localities. These also made possible the division of labor; gave the initial impetus to the rise of corporate power and produced new methods in business. Parallelling this evolution in transportat ion, came the development of the telephone, the cable, and the telegraph system.. The tremendous commercial importance of these is apparent at a glance. Whereas, prior to the Industrial Revolution of 1820-1830, merchants sold and customers bought in the local market, all business men, buyers and sellers are thrown in the same market. A buyer in San Francisco can purchase through New York, say, from a seller in Galveston. A seller in London can sell to a buyer in Buenos Aires. These, afore mentioned agencies, have further widened the empire of business, by making possible a large population in a given country or city. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, excessive concentration of population was unknown. Large cities are a distinctly modern phenomenon. Improved productive and transportation facilities alone, have made them possible. The great cities of antiquity were rather small affairs. Rome probably never had a quarter a million people, while London and Paris did not reach a half a million. It was impossible to feed a very large population with the limited commercial and transportation facilities then existing. The modern business man has, thanks to the capitalistic system, an enlarged and enlarging clientele. This then is a brief epitome of the history of the evolution of the great complex economic organism which turns out the commodities and services, we call wealth, and in which everyone who enters on a business career must find his niche. We turn now to a consideration of the organism of modern business. Looked at broadly, it is possible to distinguish three parts to this organism. First, the part which deals with production in the narrow sense, the assembling of capital or plant and the employment of laborers in connection with it; second, the part which has to do with the collection and distribution of commodities, the commercial side of business; and third, the financial part which collects the savings of individuals and makes them available for use in production. With this back ground, we consider now the business world from the standpoint of the entrepreneur, or business man. We can mention but briefly the method of securing capital for beginning new, and strengthening existing enterprises. Herein lies the function of banking institutions and investment brokers. We may but mention the function of insurance in distributing risks and reducing them to a minimum. These are the means for the gathering and the reservoirs for storing and making fluid the capital of the community. The bulk of this must come out of the wage-earning people. This class of the Negro people prefer to invest their money in real estate. This has been due largely to the inertia of custom, and in no small degree to ignorance of the fact that realty is the least convertible of all forms of wealth, and that the returns from industrial and commercial enterprise give, as a rule, larger and quicker returns for the investor. Our banking institutions will conserve a most useful and profitable purpose in educating the saving and investment public in the methods and rules of investment, that are most profitable. Along with the great development of business that we have fully outlined, has gone increased returns to labor as well as to capital. This betterment of the condition of the laborer has raised, what the economists call his standard of living. In other words, he is a better consumer—demanding more goods and services, and what is more, better quality of goods and services. This brings us to a consideration of the commercial side of business: the collection and distributing of goods and services. We saw in our brief historical sketch that imagination which furthers invention gave us the modern industrial and commercial system, and also produced a high-grade consumer. This is the class of consumer that business men want to reach. But how? Emerson, once said, that if a man could make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, the world would make a beaten path to his door. In this strenuous age of competition that would depend upon how well that man advertised. Judicious advertising is one aid to business. "Supply the demand" should be the slogan, but "create a demand" should carry equal force with the practical and forward-looking business man.

They might have said, and with some logic, that there were three well equipped and pop- ular ice cram parlors, within a stone’s throw of each other. But they had first, the imagimation to conceive the possibilities of such a business in connection with the theater, and secondly, the courage to institute it. This venture gives promise of success. © Consider that effective advertisement “I sell the earth”. This catch phrase hasa way of sticking jn one’s mind and is a clever piece of advertis- ing. These are good instances of thy imaginative faculty at work. That the great empire of busi- ness in founded on psychology, no less than handling of commo- dutise, can be shown in numerous way. Consider Pompeian Mas- sage Cream, An impequnious druggist conceived the idea of the article. He reasoned thus wise: Vanity is the ruling motive in most human beings and particu- lar in women. They are most vain of their personal appearance. Therefore he decided to cater to that and bethought himself of a cream. Ordinary cream would not do. So he achieved a cream that would rub out of the skin. Then began a campaign of ad- vertising until Pompeian has a demand all over America and in other countries. It has made its rorginator a millionaire. Did you -ever ponder the question why enamel kitchen ware is always tinted blue, usually white lining with blue outside? It is so tinted because of an observed peculiar- ity in women. They prefer blue to any other color, it seems. Other colors were tried and wo- mén invariably chose the blue, then all such ware was tinted blue. These are classic exam- ples of the ability of merchants to read the psychoifogy of their customers. The placing of bar- gain counters in the rear of the store, or on an upper floor is but another of the thousand and one ways of advertising the _ best wares of a merchant, and is based on sound psychological principles. ‘The buyer coming in for a bar- gain, may be induced to buy more wares and of a better quality. Moreover in keeping with the! recognized, value of the imagina- tive faculty in business, business | has called to its support artists such as Cole Philips, Boileu Fisher, Remingotn, and Hutt the writers of the class of Elbert Hubbard. They have ransacked literature for pithy and appro- priate sayings to boom their wares. . That the small business man cannot institute the majority of the features of large ones is ob- vious. But it is equally clear that he can get a larger view and a better grasp of affairs by a study of the greater _ business world; its history and its meth- ods. The outstanding fact re- vealed by such study, is the part the trained man, the theorist, the imaginative, if you please, has played, and is playing in the busi- ness world. Prof Irving Fisher with the committee of:One Hun- dred on National Health showed the insurance companies of Amer- ica that it was to their interest to join the national health move- ment. He showed the increased profits that would accure to in- surance companies from the bet- ter health, and longer lives of the insured. Consequently Life Insurance Companies are spend- ing thousands of dollars annually and are issuing data daily for the betterment of life conditions throughout the country. In the town of New Haven, Conn., stands a building that might be taken for a Greek tem- ple, a museum or an art gallary. It is neither of these. It is an Se Mg OR ME a, satest discoveries in medicine,-Or for a lawyer to know the most recent court dicisions. To recapitulate; we have traced in miniature the evolution of the modern or capitalistic system of production and commerce.” We have seen its development from the stage of hand industry up to an extremely specialized, differ- entiated, and complex organiza~- tion. We also saw that this tre- mendous economic development affected not only the business world but the general body poli- tic, that its ramifications were infinite, unending; that it was in reality, the basis of mod- ern society. We have considered ‘the great fields of this. system: the banking, transportation and avketing field. We have men- tioned certain special and prac- [tical phases of the marketing field. With this background, we con- sider now the ‘business world solely from the stand point of the enterprises or business man. We can mark but briefly the meth- od of securing capital for beginn- ing and strengthening existing enterprises. Herein lies the func- tion of your banking institutions and investment brokers. We. ‘may but mention the func- ‘tion of insurance in distributing risks and reducing theni to a min- imum. These are the means of gathering and the reservoirs for storing and making fluid the cap- ital of the community. The bulk | of this must come out of the wage earning class. This class of Ne- 0 people has been accustomed to invest their money in real es- tate rather than in industrial and commercial undertakings. This has been due largely to the iner- tia’of custom, and in no small de- gree to ignorance of the fact that realty is the least convertable of all forms of wealth, and that the returns from industrial and com- ‘mercial enterprise give, as a rule, larger and quicker returns for the investor, Our banking in- ‘stitutions will ‘conserve a most useful purpose in gathering and making fluid the capital of the conimunity. . Lastly, we may state that the leadership of the Negro people’s business devolved at first, upon the ministers and teachers; good, and worthy men and women. But as in the larger world of af- fairs, more and-more the leader- ship, as well as the responsibi- lity for the:race’s destiny falls on the business man. It is grati- fying to note that Negro business men are taking their rightful places, as leaders, and laying the foundation of that economic independence upon which alone can any real racial progress or greatness be; predi- eae FOR GOOD , . ; . 7 , - ow 8 : yo Job Printing On Good.

Feb—The Federal Department of Agricul- ‘ture has just issued a statement showing the purchasing power of an acre of farm crops in 1915 compared with 1909. While the price per acre of several farm crops is shown to have increased to some extent within the past five years the gain in “price has not yet kept pace with that of some of the necessities used by the farmer. The report shows that ‘the purchasing power of an acre of wheat in 1909 was 98 pounds of lard while it was only 81 pounds in 1913. Ty 1909 an acre of wheat would buy 243 yards of calico while in 1913 the purchasing’ power was only 178. Forty-nine hose could be pure chased with an acre of cotton in 1909 while five years later the buying strength has decreased’ three hoes. An acre of corn in 1gog would buy 79 pounds of cof- fee and only 59 pounds in 1913. Twenty-seven pairs of overalls could be bought with the re- ceipts from one acre of cotton in 1909 while the purchasing power in 1013 dropped to 24 pairs. An acre of wheat in 1909 would buy two more pairs of brogan shoes than in 1913. ° ? ~— 8 5 AO, A b i b Mara int tigeom os Pa ag eae Prevents Rust 4 4 .

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. Saturday February 27th, 1915 If there ever was a time when our people should exercise the greatest care in the matter of their finances, it is low. Strong as we have always been in our advocacy of the saving habit, the home getting habit and the like, we do not allow the strength of our advocacy to abate in the least, when we recognize the fact that our people are now face to face with one of the most serious economic problems with which they have ever had to deal. Putting a few dollars aside at least every now and then and acquiring a piece of property, it matters not how small, occasionally, ought to be a part of the programme of each one of us. As we view the future, every indication points to the fact that with the close of the great European war now in progress, the Southland as well as other parts of our country, will be crowded with foreigners in search of homes and employment, with them coming a rise in the price of land and a probable corresponding decrease in wages may be expected. Then our people, especially the laboring class, will be face to face with a problem of much moment to them. Anticipating the foregoing then, it is our advice to our people to make hay while the sun shines. "We want our people to become more interested in the securing of homes, the maintaining of bank accounts and in such other financial endeavors as will place them on the road to success and prosperity. As a people, the older we get, the more removed ought we be from any condition that savors of poverty or dependence. The time has come when we ought to secure more of the world's goods as our own. And in proposition as we secure more of the world's goods in like proportion will our recognition as a people of means and worth be more firmly established. The Tribune hopes that this brief editorial sermonett will have effect upon those of our people who think. EDITORIAL NOTES Despite the fact that the Negro vote in several of the close states made it possible for Mr. Wilson to pile up a large majority, he seems to have forgotten them and the promises made their leaders. They have been waiting now two years for some juicy plums in the shape of fat offices to fall, but Mr. Wilson so far has ignored them. About the eve of the next presidential campaign he may hand out a few soops in order to catch fly voters. By this time the Negro vote should have a sufficiency of democracy. Wanted badly, not less than two thousand colored voters on the registration list before the national election in 1916. We can get them if the colored men would only do their full duty. Everybody can join the "Save-a-Dollar-More Club." Faithful members of this club in the course of time will have snug sums to fall back on during a rainy day. The young man who is thrifty, a total abstainer and non-cigarette smoker, can always secure a job and at the same time demand good wages. It is noted that the most frugal class among our people is the great middle class, as they are called. They are the ones who can be depended upon to foster and support enterprises of the race. They are the ones who save their earnings and are the most faithful in anything that they undertake. We have great faith in this class of our people and are always anxious and will- . ing to do them honor. There are noble exceptions in the higher class and credit, too, can be given them. This latter class has a great lesson to learn from the former, and if they act jointly, racial affairs would be greatly improved. During our short experience in life we have found that the ones who do the least for colored business, generally are the most insistant for favors and get down right mad if they are denied. One of the worst objects on earth is the man without a principle, the man whose word cannot be accepted, the man who cares naught for an obligation, a man who would go back on a principle for selfish gain. This class of men are misfits on God's green earth. Sometime ago our attention was called to the fact that many of our people have a knack of entering an obligation, make an initial payment, possibly a few more and stop. By doing this they generally lose what they have paid in, thereby enriching the other fellow the more. For instance, some years ago a certain tract of land was cut up into building lots and put on the market exclusively for our people. Quite a canvass was made among them which resulted in a hundred or more of them making initial payments on lots. Many of them fell by the wayside. The promoters being conscientious men, noted this fact and did all they could to encourage the delinquents to keep up their payments. Their failure to keep up netted the land syndicate hundreds of dollars in part-payments beside the privilege of re-selling the property which has since enhanced in value. Our people are too poor to squander their money this way. When they take on an obligation like this they must sacrifice and pay out. After all the man who is easily discouraged, does not amount to much. A piano or organ in a three room rented shack in a back alley, or anywhere else for that matter does not speak well as a common sense act on the part of the owner. Years to come the limits of Savannah will be extended east to Thunderbolt, south to the Montgomery cross road and more than six miles west. The east and south directions will be the great residential sections while the manufacturing districts will occupy the west. This much is stated in order that we may cause our young men to think and act. In these sections there are many acres of vacant land that can be secured more reasonable now than ever in the future. Profitable investments can be made in these lands. Our young men should form syndicates and buy up as much as they can. Keep in mind health week March 21-28. It will be observed here under the auspices of the Urban League. Boost Savannah, boost the enterprises of the race, boost yourselves by saving your earnings and securing homes. Let everybody boost. We look with contempt upon the man or woman who boast of the fact that he has nothing to do with the professional men of the race, nor enterprises thereof. A broad-minded, unselfish man does not commit small acts in order to back at a person he dislikes. These things generally act as boomerangs. Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. had a full quota of members out last Sunday. Owing to the absence from the city of Mr. Lindsay, scheduled to deliver the principal address, the Rev. J. S. Stripling, pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, spoke. Altho called upon without notice, Rev. Stripling delivered a strong address to those present. "Into our quarters" contiunes to be the slogan of the meeting. Among the new Y. M. C. A. actions put on during the week are a Y. M. C. A. choir and a Y. M. C. A. track team. On tomorrow Mr. Frank A. Dilworth, instructor in shoemaking at the Ga. State College, will give the men a practical talk on a subject of importance to them. Two Great Negro Industrial Insurance Companies Consolidate The Union Mutual, the oldest Negro industrial insurance company, and the Atlanta Mutual, which is unquestionably the strongest industrial insurance company in the south, have consolidated, which consolidation places at the head of these two great Negro companies the most successful Negro business man that the state of Georgia has yet produced, in the person of A.F. Herndon, The two offices managed by Messrs J. C. Lindsay and L. L. James, Jr., at 507 West Broad St and 817 West Broad St, will continue under the same local management. The people of Savannah know full well of the ability and fairness of these two men, therefore they need no introduction to the business and insuring public of this community. --- Furnished by the National Negro Business League. Mr. V. H. Tulane, cashier of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, Montgomery, Alabama, has started a Christmas Savings Club. The plan and purpose of this Christmas Savings Club is to afford children and adults the opportunity of starting a bank account with five cents and increasing the deposit five cents each week. At Jacksonville Florida, Mr. Charles H. Anderson, cashier, Anderson & Company, Bankers has also started a Christmas Club upon the same idea. The Christmas Savings Club idea affords the privilege and opportunity of saving money without undue hardship. It is earnestly recommended to Negro banks throughout the country. According to James Reese Europe, the eminent NegroAmerican composer, the tango and other modern dances had their origin among the colored people. Clarence Stacks, a recent honor graduate of the Denver (Colorado) University, has been appointed cashier and head book-keeper of the Fraternal Bank & Trust Company of Fort Worth, Texas. R. G. McAden, traveling correspondent for the Atlanta (Georgia) Independent, says, that Dr. C. P. Washington, a colored physician of Waycross, Ga., pays more taxes than any other man in the county. Independent Heights, a suburb of Houston, Texas, has been incorporated. It has a colored mayor, G. O. Burgess, and two colored commissioners. According to a recent statement of J. C. Lindsay, publicity agent of the Savannah (Georgia) Local Negro Business League, the six Negro insurance companies in that city paid out to Negroes of Savannah for office rent $1,198.00; to 153 workers in salaries and commissions, $66,790.45; and Negro policy holders, $55,086.65; or a total of $123,175.00 for the year.

Mr. Editor: The principal of the Maple St. school is delighted to have the privilege of reporting through your columns his trip and pasttime in celebrating his own and Washington's birthday. He arrived safe on the evening of the 19th in the beautiful and quietly prosperous little town of Blackshear, Pierce County, Ga. He was met at the station by relatives and friends; and speeded away to the home of Mr. Owens Robinson, a well-to-do and expert farmer of large experiences as a farmer, store-keeper and indeed a real estate dealer in money and lands for whites among whom he has long lived for near 45 years, a square man, with the world Masonically speaking, honest, upright, intelligent, thrifty, prosperous and christian hearted. He is beloved by his race and highly esteemed by the whites He married a splendid woman of rare ability and sterling character, one of the original types of Bacons and Laws of Liberty Co. She is and has been a real helpmate through many years of prosperity. A delightful surprise and reception was tendered the principal in the spacious home of Mr. Robinson, and many of the best people of Blackshear were present. On Sunday afternoon the Maple Street school principal delivered his lecture entitled, "Three matrimonial problems: courtship, marriage and devore," to a large and attentive and intelligent audience in the beautiful A. M. church of Blackshear, and at night he briefly spoke to Rev. Rogers Baptist Church B. Y. P. U. It was all well and cheerfully received and the principal was urged to come again. In the beautiful farming district the whites and colored live together in peace and harmony, they are helpful the one to the other. The unique little church was remarkably neat and clean. The spacious farms possess rich land and bring forth in great abundance, very desirable crops. They have two city schools, one taught in the immediate city limits by Prof. Flemming and one taught by Prof. Fisher, both are doing well. Prof. Fisher is a wide awake teacher and a christian gentleman. The secret orders are greatly prosperous, especially the Masons. The colored people are getting homes and farms. Jno McIntosh It is a good plan to throw sheaves of wheat, oats or buckwheat in the scratching shed and allow the fowls to thrash it out themselves. It affords considerable exercise. In order to have exercise ready for the hens as soon as it is light in the morning throw some grain in the litter just before locking the houses at night. Green cut bone may now take the place of worms and bugs, which the fowls pick up in the summer. It isn't too early to begin to think about getting some choice eggs for hatching. Put the breeding stock into the best possible condition. Poultry thrive on variety. Change the ration from time to time. The birds will thank you for it by heavier laying and better stock. WINTER CARE OF THE YOUNG POULTRY WINTER CARE OF THE YOUNG POULTRY In caring for young poultry stock in winter I try to give it enough room in which to develop and then feed it more liberally than other fowls, writes W. J. Boyton in the American Agriculturist. Overcrowding is one of the gravest dangers to guard against. It is a natural desire to keep as much young poultry as possible, especially the fowls, which were hatched late and are still gaining in weight, but if this course is pursued' at the expense of overcrowding trouble is apt to follow. There are two methods of handling pullets—one, so as to get eggs in winter; the other, so that by feeding they will be in fine laying condition the following spring. In keeping pure bred stock I find it the best plan to use the latter method because where eggs are scarce in winter they will hatch better the following spring, and also they are obtainable in greater numbers at the time of high prices for hatching purposes. Where winter eggs are to be produced it is necessary that the pullets are hatched early in the previous spring. This means a smaller percentage of chicks hatched, as at that time the eggs show less vitality. I have also found it more difficult to raise the chicks. As eggs command the best price in the spring, that they do not hatch well means a greater cost for each chick. Although these pullets will lay in winter when eggs command the highest price for market purposes, it will still be necessary to furnish proper food and care. Even then some may put on flesh instead of producing eggs. I find that the best food is whole grain, meat scraps and green food. It 2 Hardy as well as handsome, the Wyandotte is a fine market chicken. Medium sized, small boned, it plumps right up from chick to broiler, from broiler to roaster, and is a yellow butter ball when other breeds are immature and scrawny. The Wyandotte lays earlier than the other American breeds and lays as well as any dual purpose fowl. The picture shows a Silver Laced Wyandotte cock. is also important that the pullets be kept out of the snow and above the frozen ground, for cold poultry produces few eggs. With pure bred poultry I find it advantageous to keep several of the best cockerels until spring, when they can be sold to advantage as breeders. This, however, would not do if mixed breed fowls were kept. The purpose of the keeper must be borne in mind when managing a flock of young poultry stock in winter. Chicken Necessaries. When chickens are confined to their pens for any length of time, there are three things that are necessary for their well being, and these things are often inaccessible to them. They are pure water, sharp grit and a dust bath. We all know that fowls must have water to keep them alive. They need grit in order to grind their food and keep healthy. They need a dust bath in order to keep themselves free from lice and mites. Give the Hens Room. If the poultry pens are connected and one or more is empty this winter don't fail to allow the hens in the adjoining house to have access to the unoccupied room Cut a hole or place a door between the two pens. The added scratching room and enlarged quarters will help boost the egg record. Coming Events in the Social World NOTICE—Articlesin this Column Two Cenid Per Word. Payable in Advance.

A people, divided against themselves cannot thrive, says the GA. MUTUAL. A But in spite of this logical declaration some of us just keep on being divided. Now let us not be divided against ourselves in the industrial insurance business. Remember the officers of the Negro insurance companies are ours; the agents are ours; the clerks are ours; the members are ours; the positions created as a natural consquence are ours; then let us stand absolutely together along this line and be perfectly fair with each other in all of our dealings, join the GA. MUTUAL and we all will thrive. Branch Office----509 W. Broad St. H. T. Singleton, Supt. The Desoto Bellman's Club requests your presence at their Ninth Annual Ball at Harris St Hall.

Take time to greet your brothers and also to wish them success in their various callings of life. A kind word and a brotherly interest doeth more good than you imagine. The inspirations and aspirations of the human soul have received a new impetus, so the experiences of life teaches us, from such cordial fellowship. Therefore let us be kind, considerate and gracious towards our brothers and we will be highly blessed in the giving and they in the receiving.—Masonic Home Journal. Masonic Dotage The term dotage is a term applied to a condition and is not limited to age. A man may be in his dotage at 45, 60, 80. The majority of men who reach 75 are not in their dotage. As long as a candidate can intelligently understand the work and learn the lectures in Masonry he is not in his dotage, even though he be as old as Methuselah.—Masonic Globe The Globe has the correct idea regarding Masonic dotage, and the reason why the regulations of the fraternity forbid the initiation of a dotard is "because the imbecility of his mind would prevent the comprehension of the truths presented to him."—Chronicler. Masonic Friendship Masonic friendship is founded upon brotherly love. If it is so founded, misfortune and disaster cannot weaken or destroy it. It is concreted in David and Jonathan. When the crucial test comes, it is not found wanting. When a brother is in want or distress, then it empties itself in helpfulness. How pitiable is the conditions of that Mason who lies down when his brother is set upon by his enemies! Love is not only the strongest and best thing on earth, but it is the only emotion that prevails in Heaven. Love never tires in serving and is always happy in doing so. May it ever work us up to do its biding.—Masonic Home Journal. The Purpose of the Eastern Star. It is for him as the Divine Star of Glory that the Order of the Eastern Star exists, and it is by his friendship that it prospers and is blessed. Friendship, morality and brotherly love are Masonic principles, and they should govern members of the Order of the Eastern Star. A true friend is more valuable than gold, more precious than gems and more helpful than any material means. Masonic and Eastern Star friends are in duty bound to be true and faithful; their obligations to each other are believed to be stronger than bands of steel, and are not to be broken. The Eastern Star is an Order teaching and inculcating the highest principles of humanity, as well as the moral and social virtues. It is not a club for the propagation of fads and fancies, but an order whose principles—love to God and love to man—were enunciated by the Gallilean Teacher and echoed from Judean hills 2,000 years ago. Stripped of all creeds and dogmas its obligation requires the complete fulfillment of the divine command—love. It began on high, with faith and love and confidence in God, and comes to earth with advice for those in trouble, sympathy for those in sorrow, and aid for those in misfortune; to care for, educate and protect those who are unable to do so for themselves; to make life brighter and happier and men and women better and nobler. its head of labor is as broad as the world and its mission as high and honorable as can be prompted by a heart of sympathy and love. The Eastern Star is what we, as individual members, make it. May we all live better, truer lives, close to our obligations. When we have learned from Adah the lesson of fidelity; when the pure precepts of the Order become a part of our lives and we stand with Esther for all that is right and trac; when with the faith of Martha we entwine the broken column with evergreen, a symbol of our belief in the immorality of the soul, and when the love and charity of Electa shall shine in our daily walk through life, then can we truly say to our companions in the pilgrimage of life: "We have seen His Star in the East."—The Trestle Board, San Francisco, Cal. DAIRY and CREAMERY KEEPING UP MILK FLOW. Careful Feeding Necessary to Maintain High Production. When cows have been developed to produce from six to eight gallons of milk daily, they require unusually good care and good feeding, says Hoard's Diiryman. It is asking too much of an inexperienced man to take care of such cows and expect them to keep up to this flow of milk. We do not believe the average person realizes the amount of skill it requires to feed an animal that produces from six to eight gallons of milk daily and to sustain that production without injuring the animal. It cannot be done unless the feeds are suited to milk production and then fed according to the animal's needs. It is almost asking too much of a cow to do this amount of work unless she is supplied with some good legume hay, such as cowpea, soy bean, clover, alfalfa and the like. It may be said that if a heavy grain ration is fed this milk yield can be sustained without a legume roughage, but it is not a wise system of feeding. In the absence of a good, rich protein Conclusive proof of the milk producing qualities of the Holstein breed of cattle is furnished by a cow in the herd of the Montana State college. In the seven years this cow has been in the college herd she has produced over $8,000 pounds of milk and twice her own weight in butter. This is the kind of cow that puts money in the farmer's pocket. The cow here pictured is a pure bred Holstein. roughage we would suggest feeding above forty pounds of corn silage daily and then supplement it with some of the corn stover, not forcing the animals to eat the larger or coarser portions. A mixture of 300 pounds gluten feed, 300 pounds bran and 200 pounds beet pulp will supplement this roughage well. It will require about one pound of this mixture for each three pounds of milk produced. It might be well to purchase some cotton seed meal and use 100 pounds of it to reduce the amount of gluten feed to 200 pounds in the mixture and then feed this as suggested for the former combination of feed. Silage is not a very good feed for a bull in service. Some breeders feed it quite readily, while others do not use any. Silage is a good feed, but it is rich in carbohydrates and not in protein, and the bull needs a protein feed. In the absence of any real good roughage, perhaps, for a young growing bull from ten to fifteen pounds of corn silage may be used daily with all the corn stover he will consume, and then feed him from five to eight pounds of the mixture suggested for the cows. It would be well if he could be fed some legume hay, and perhaps it would pay to buy and grind some oats, so the bull may have from two to three pounds daily. CLIPPING THE UDDER. Removal of Hair From Cows' Quarters Aids In Production of Clean Milk. There are a few duties connected with dairying so apparent as to be occasionally overlooked in the advice and the discussion of dairy farming, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. We take it for granted that the man who has pure bred dairy cattle or even grades of good quality is interested enough to keep his stables clean, his cows bedded and clean. This means more than giving them bedding. It means that they must be brushed frequently—it is the best plan to brush dally—and it also means that the cows must be clipped around the rear quarters and theudders and on the tail. If one were to visit a certified dairy he would find all the cows clean and neatly clipped on the rear quarters. This is one of the regulations which are necessary to follow if certified milk is to be produced. When you say bacteria to the average man you bring to his mind a sad and harrowing picture of little germs that destroy life. Bacteria are of two classes—the kind that is destructive and the kind that is productive. The latter is vastly the more important. So really the word bacteria need have no repellent effects. We have been given accounts and pictures of the prolific family of bacteria that will cause milk to spoil which can be transported to the pall on a single cow hair falling from the flank or her udder in the process of milking. People have come to the point where they demand better and cleaner milk. One of the easiest and simplest ways to produce this milk is to clip the udders and the flanks of the cows in order that they may not be burdened with long hairs loaded with filth and germ life which is disturbed in the process of milking and falls into the pall where it multiplies rapidly under conditions that are ideal for large families of bacteria. The black penny postage stamp of 1840, the first stamp ever issued, was distinctly unpopular and gave place to a red one after a year's existence. Great Britain was the first country in the world to use postage stamps, and the English schoolboy of the period seems to have regarded them as a nuisance rather than a national benefit. "Have you tried the stamps yet?" wrote one of them to his sister in the year 1840. "I think they are very absurd and troublesome. I don't fancy making my mouth a glue glue, although, to be sure, you have the satisfaction of kissing the back of her gracious majesty the queen."—London Tit-Bits. For Two Years. "For two years after I was married I was ashamed to meet the preacher who united my wife and me in the holy bonds. You see, in my excited condition I made a blunder and gave him a five dollar bill instead of $20, which I intended to hand him. I suppose he thought I was a cheap skate, but I couldn't very well explain it without making myself ridiculous or causing him to suspect that I was lying about it." "You say you felt that way for two years?" "Yes. After that I began to be sorry I had given him anything!"—Philadelphia Record. Brutality at the Bar. Cross examination by lawyers is much less severe today than it used to be. Sergeant Ballantine once cross examined the defendant in a civil action in England so fiercely that after a quarter of an hour of the ordeal she fell down flat in the witness box and could not be further questioned. Chief Justice Erie, summing up, described Ballantine's cross examination as "an exhibition of brute force which I have never seen before in a court of justice and hope never to see again." A Cruel Comment. "You know, there is an air I heard lately humming through my brain this morning." "That's no air. What you hear in your brains are their wheels humming."—Baltimore American.

A crowd of men and boys that taxed the seating capacity of the church gathered Sunday evening to hear the pastor deliver an address on "Samson and Delilah." For an hour and a half the speaker held his hearers as under a spell. After the pastor had finished the address a mass meeting was held and many expressed themselves as being delighted and confessed it was the best lecture they had ever heard. A resolution was passed by a unanimous vote that each one present would resolve to live better lives... "Joseph and Potiphar's wife" was the subject of the lecture delivered on Monday to a large crowd of women and girls by the pastor. Every one present went away well pleased with the lecture.

Every one who has handled an oyster shell must have noticed the successive layers overlapping each other. These are technically named shots, and each one marks a year's growth, so that by counting them the age of the oyster can be determined. Up to the time of its maturity—that is, when four years of age—the shots are regular and successive, but after that time they become irregular and are piled one upon another so that the shell becomes bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters have been seen of which each shell was nine inches thick, whence they may be guessed to be more than 900 years old. SUNDAY SCHOOL. You should look as we going as comin. Notice the beels of your shoes, when the beens are twisted they will throw your shoes out of shape, which makes a bad appearance when going. In repairing your shoes we make it our special business to restore them to their original shape, no matter how bad they are twisted. Ladies and children shoes are given special attention. All work is carefully looked after by me before going out. J. H. WASHINGTON Lesson IX.—First Quarter, For Feb. 28, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. vii, 3-17. Memory Veras, 11, 12—Golden Text, I Sam. vii, 12—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When the men of Beth-shemesh lost 50,070 men because of their transgression they sent to the men of Kirjath-jearlim to come and take the ark away from them, for they said, "Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God?" Their question is a very suggestive one, for the holiness which God requires in His law, which is holy and just and good, is so great that no man can stand before it, even as it is written: "If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee * * *" (Rom. vii. 12; Ps. cxxx. 3). The way out for all, for all have sinned and come short, is that the necessary holiness is found in Christ, who perfectly kept this holy law and is made righteousness unto all who receive Him (11 Cor. v. 21; 1 Cor. 1, 30). The ark found a resting place at Kirjath-jearlim for many years in the house of Abinadab in the hill until David removed it to a tent which he had pitched for it in Jerusalem (11 Sam. vi. 3, 4). After it had been twenty years there Israel seemed to awake to a desire for the Lord, for it is said that they "lamented after the Lord" (verses 1, 2). It may have been that after the catnastrophe at Ebenezer, in which the sons of Ell were slain and ark of God taken and because of which Ell died, Samuel returned to his father's home at Ramah, for there he lived all his life afterward; there he built an altar unto the Lord; there he judged Israel going in circuit to Bethel, Gilgal and Mizpheh, and there he died and was buried (1, 19; 11, 11; vll, 16, 17; xxv, 1). Ever since the Philistine victory Israel had been under their power, but now Samuel encouraged them to put away their idols, return unto the Lord with all their hearts and serve Him only, that He might deliver them out of the hands of the Philistines (verses 3, 4). The one thing that the Lord is looking for in all the world is a whole heart for Himself (II Chron-xvi, 9); no idols, nothing to grieve or hinder, but such yielded hearts that He can magnify Himself in us and work in us all His good pleasure (Heb.xiii, 20). So all Israel gathered together to Mizpheh that Samuel might pray for them (verses 5, 6). They drew water and poured it out before the Lord and fasted and confessed their sin.

The wise woman of Tekoa said, "We are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again" (II Sam. xiv, 14), and in Lam. ii, 19, we read, "Pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord." True emptiness before Him will always bring His fullness; He perfects His strength in our weakness; when we are nothing then He can work. There must be no will nor way nor thoughts of ours to hinder. The Philistines, hearing of the Israel movement, went up against them, for when the people of God turn to Him with purpose of heart the devil always wakes up to oppose. Israel did the right thing in saying to Samuel, "Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us." So Samuel offered a sacrifice, and cried unto the Lord, and the Lord heard him and thundered with a great thunder and discomfited the Philistines, and they came no more into the coast of Israel all the days of Samuel (verses 7-13). SUBSCRIBE For The Tribune We are reminded of such words as these: "The God of glory thundereth," "God thundereth marvelously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend" (Ps. xxix, 3; Job xxxvli, 3). Neither thunder nor lightning should cause us any fear if we are right with Him, but should rather make us rejoice to hear His voice and see His might. As Noah, Daniel and Job are quoted as samples of righteous men (Ezek. xlv, 14-20), so Moses and Samuel are mentioned as great intercessors (Jer. xv, 1). At the same place where the Philistines conquered Israel and captured the ark; there the Lord overthrew them and delivered Israel (chapter iv, 1; vil, 12), and Samuel set up his memorial stone and said, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." All who trust in the Lord can surely say the same, and we should say always: "Henceforth * * unto Him who died, for us and rose again." "Henceforth * * laid up for me a crown of righteousness" (II Cor. v, 15; II Tim. iv, 8). By the great sacrifice of Himself we are redeemed; by His sacrifice as a burnt offering, typified in Samuel's offering (verse 9), we become wholly dedicated to Him (Lev. 1), and when we willingly acknowledge it and desire to serve Him only then we may expect to see His power on our behalf and His working in and through us.

Samuel's home at Ramah and the three other places where he judged Israel are full of interest historically—his home because of the story of Hannah and her song; Mizpeh because of Israel's return to God at this time (v. 61, and the meaning of the name Gen. xxxl. 40-52), though it was not the same Mizpeh. Bethel reminds' us of Abraham's second altar in the land and his departure and return and also of Jacob's dream (Gen. xil. 3; xill. 3; xxvill. 10-19). At Gilgal Israel kept the first passover in the land, and it became Joshua's headquarters (Josh. v. 10; x. 15). PALM SHAVING PALACE In Wage Earners New Building. Pery R. Wright, PROPRIETOR In reading the signs of the times, we find that the repeated business doctrines uttered by the Negro Business League in stentorian zones, have and are still having their effect. The business men of Savannah, collectively, are loud in their praise of the timely and effective work that is gradually being done by this organization among men who are bringing things to pass. A·New Day. The dawn of the sunlight of a quarter of a century has awakened the Negro along business lines, and has caused him to feel the need of answering the roll call of business solicitations, and insist on receiving his full share commensurate to the manner in which he has qualified. As a race, we have made good religiously and socially; as church builders we cannot be excelled, and when it comes to society and fraternalism, we have no equals. In social ranks, we exceed the speed limit. Is it not time, that we consider a more effective and tangible line, whereby our assets may be increased? Business Opportunity: It was a feature of interest at a certain prominent church in our city, when a prominent society has turned out to celebrate its anniversary, as well as to have the divine blessings of inspirations invoked upon them, some one chance to read a synopsis of the organization, the life and growth of the society. Among other things he read the number of years they had been existing the full of officers the number of deceased members of the fiscal year and last but not least, read that they had the snug sum of three hundred and fifty dollars on deposit in a certain white bank of the city, which is frequently referred to as being the strongest bank in the city. But why shouldn't a bank which gets deposits from that class of people it wants, and then from that class of people that are not wanted, be the strongest? Notwithstanding the fact, this is the bank where Negroes are Jim Crowed and discriminated against. We regard an act of this kind a great calamity on the twentieth century civilization in a city where Providence has brought to us two strong and worthy institutions, which are a along felt want and need among our people, for which our appreciation can in no better way be shown than to place on deposit with these banking institutions, the money we have to deposit. I refer respectfully to the Wage Earners Savings Bank, at Alice and West Broad streets and the Mechanic Bank, at 139 Barnard street. Let us as individuals, as societies, secret order workers, and what not, look this matter squarely in the face, and resolve that we render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. More Need of Divine Aid The Negro Business League Another Open Letter to the Odd Fellows of Georgia (Continued from first page) ness men of this community, their deep appreciation and profound gratitude to the ministers of the city, who have so fluently raised their voices in-stentorian tones endorsing Negro businesses and encouraging the patronage thereof. This, of course, is as it should be with the pastors who are so broad hearted and thoughtful that they will speak of his struggling brother in business. But we invite the attention of that brother pastor who has not as yet considered the very necessity of preaching the business gospel as well as the religious gospel. The thoughtful preacher must convert his brother preacher, who is less fortunate, to think that we have business souls, as well as human souls to save, for, indeed it is just as essential to prepare for living in this world as it is to prepare for living in the world to come. It is just as necessary to arrange to get a coat to wear while here, as to arrange to get a long white robe to wear in the great beyond; it is just as necessary to arrange for a hat to wear in the streets of Savannah, as to arrange for a starry crown in paradise. These are the things that the Negro Business League has stood for and will always stand for, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evening in each month at its headquarters 458 West Broad street. you young Niggers must help me", and being president of the Atlanta Board of Trade at that time, I took pity on him and induced as many members as I could to subscribe to a fund sufficient to keep the wolf from his door, thinking that the mighty Captain might live long enough to see another Republican administration get in power whereby he could at least get another job of sweeping the Custom House floors. But the Captain reminds me very much of the dog that is hungry and carried to your home and given food and shelter. As soon as he gets his stomach full, and you ask him to move, he is ready to bite. This is characteristic of this great Captain—the great helper of his race. He has been given his stomach full and now he allows himself to be the scape-goat of the Independent to strike a blow at his benefactor. Of course the Captain is nothing more than a big puff of wind as he stands on the corners and in barber shops and cusses out the young Nigger in his way which is his accustomed occupation, but the people of Georgia will not pay any attention to this repudiated politician who never has nor never will stand for anything that is constructive for the Negro. I plead guilty to sending out an open letter some days ago, in which the Captain (?) says there were, a lot of lies, but why did the Captain (?) in company with a hired Deputy seek to influence Mr. G. R. Williamson, a member of Fulton Enterprise Lodge not to have my open letter read in his lodge? Why did they wish to suppress the letter if there was nothing but lies in it, and dogs this not show that somebody is afraid and they must know the people will not be fooled longer? Can the Captain explain to us what wonders he has wrought in the forty years he has been an Odd Fellow except to be a tool and henchman for those higher up? Where did the Captain learn so much about those who would destroy the Masons? And did not the Captain knows all of the officers of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons were elected by ballot, man for man last year? Is the Captain (?) so basely ignorant as not to know that the Independent fought Creswell with might and main up to the very day of his death in order to depose him, and that every attempt proved a dismal failure? The great and wise Captain (?) seems to forget that he has tried to dictate the policy of all the Negro churches in this state by lambasting the good that these Christian people are doing for our people in order to claim the credit for all the reforms brought about by them to the discredit of all others, but we know who you are Captain, and you, in the language of the immortal Lincoln, "Can fool all the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time," and you will no longer fool the Odd Fellows of Georgia about your interest in them for your interest is only one for personal gain and we know it. Yes Captain, you may go over the state at our expense after you get the names of the honorable financial Odd Fellows with a view of trying to hide the truth, but you cannot deceive them and they will no longer allow you to brow-beat, coerce and intimidate them to perpetuate certain men in office in order to keep you on the Odd Fellows pay-roll. The Masons of Georgia will be more than pleased to know through the learned Captain (?) that they have such a fat bank account and I must confess that the auditors' report of D. G. L. No. 18, does not disclose the fact that we are in possession of half million cold cash to our credit, and it may be well for the great Captain to travel the state and stop the unrest of the brethren by giving them more light on the subject. To sum up the situation, this letter which purports to be written by Captain McHenry, is nothing but a frame-up and the good Captain is thereby made the tool so as to distort the real name of the writer, because the Captain knows full well that if the real daddy of this article should come out in open and attack the Odd Fellows his acts would be repudiated in no uncertain terms and that great disaster would be meted out to the men and measures referred to in my letter to you of February 8th. We are aware of the move you have on foot, good Captain (?), to reject honestly elected delegates and that you contemplate the steam roller method on us at Athens in order to defeat the will of the people, but the common people of which I am a part will be there when the roll is called and we will see that justice is done, the actions of the bosses notwithstanding. R. E. PHARROW Atiana, Feb. 22, 1915 (adv) To the officers and members of Prince Hall Lodge No. 28 A. F. and A. M., greetings: We the committee on obituary, beg leave to submit the following resolution: As the Grand Master of the universe has seen fit in His all wise providence to remove from our midst our Worshipful Master, Brother Stephen G. Ryals, our esteemed and worthy Mason; he has gone to his eternal reward and will roam through paradise with those who have gone on before him and, while we sadly deplore our loss, we as faithful brothers of the craft bow our heads in meek and humble submission to Him who doeth all things well, hoping that our loss is his eternal gain. We as brothers of the craft extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family of our deceased Worshipful Master. And that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of Prince Hall Lodge No. 28, A. F. and A. M. Respectfully submitted your Committee. ROBERT L. JONES GEO. L. SMITH. Coming Your Way.
