The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX TUSKEGEE ANNUAL REPORT TUSKEGEE ANNUAL REPORT MANY PERMANENT $ ^{g} $ IMPROVEMENTS. Water Supply and Fire System Need Emerging—New Laundry and Canning Factory to be Erected—412 Attended Summer School—Endowment Fund $1,942,112.08. The annual report of the principal of Tuskegee Institute to the trustees of the school, a copy of which we received this week, shows the condition of the school at the close of the year, May 28, 914. The report is interesting and tells in a comprehensive way of the great work being carried on at this, the largest industrial school in the world. It shows that at the close of the school term, May 28, 1914, the total enrollment of the school was 1,527—829 men and 631 women and that 32 states and territories and 17 foreign countries were represented in the student body. In addition to the attendance in the institution proper, the average attendance at the children's House, the training school, was 201, the average attendance during the agricultural short course was 275 and the average attendance at the summer school was 412. Among the most important permanent improvements that the school has undertaken are the power distribution and fire protection system, buildings for new power plant, ice plant, cold storage plant and rail road extension. New buildings in course of construction are a new laundry and a canning factory. During the year legacies to the extent of $36,417.09 were received by the school. Other legacies paid in part or full amount to $86,018.06. The report deals with the rapid increase of the summer school since its beginning four years ago and shows that the school last year had an enrollment of 412 and that the institution operated the school at a net cost of $825.00. The total receipts to the institution for the year, including expenses, addition to endowment, permanent improvements and for special purposes are shown to be $473,764.92. The endowment fund of the school is shown to be nearly two million dollars, the exact amount being $1,942,112.08. Altogether 3,637 individuals contributed cash or material gifts to the school, and 451 organizations gave cash or materials. Of the total number of individuals who gave, 849 were colored people. During the recent commencement of the school all of the classes from 1894 to 1904 held reunions. These classes together contributed $2,359.50, one class giving $550.00 of this amount. The new hospital of the school and its serviceableness to the institution and the community is spoken of in the report, and also the need of increasing the present endowment fund $3,000,000.00. Two special needs are shown to be a new dormitory for boys and a veterinary hospital. Some of the present and most urgent needs of the institution are shown to be: $50 a year for annual scholarships for one student, the student himself providing for his own board and other personal expenses in labor and cash; $1,200 for permanent scholarships, money for operating expenses in any amount, however small. $1,500 each for teachers cottages. $40,000 for a building for religious purposes. $16,000 to complete the boy's trade building. $50,000 for a boys' dormitory. $50,000 for a girls dormitory. An addition to our endowment fund at least $3,000,000. All menbers of the Pythian Choir are requested to meet Tuesday night, March 16, at 8 o'clock, at the residence of Miss Etta Mc Intosh, 312 East Duffy street. A Complete Demolishment of Decker Johnson's Tommy-Rot that Appeared in the Atlanta Independent February 27th In Decker Johnson's attempt to reply to my open letter to the Odd Fellows of Georgia of the conditions of affairs, he utterly failed. His article was nothing more nor less than vilification and personalities. The issue raised by me was this: Whether any power outside the District Grand Lodge in open session, has the authority to raise or fix the salaries of District Grand Officers. I said then and reiterate now, that no power other than the Grand Lodge has the authority to do so. 'Page 36 District Grand Lodge minutes of the session of 1913 reads: We recommend that District Grand Lodge in open session, fix all officers' salaries, and that it be unlawful for officers to alter or amend their own salaries, or that of anybody else. The above was approved, adopted and concurred in by the D. G. L. and so declared by the D. G. L. Now, Decker purposely and maliciously dodged this issue because he knows what the law is on this subect. He is caught with the goods on, he knows his salary has been raised from nothing to $50.00 per month, to do nothing. His time is not given to the Odd Fellows, but to his church. They pay him for it, by giving him over $1,200.00 per year. Then, why should he get $50.00 per month from the Odd Fellows, to come up here about twice a year, spending less than two days each time? It is an outrage pure and simple. The same can be said of the District Grand Master, he gets a salary to teach school, and gives all of his time to it; and yet for an occasional visit to headquarters Saturday or Sunday, gets $125.00 per month in salary, $30.00 clerk hire, which goes to himself, all of his railroad expenses and office rent in his house. No provision is made in the law by the D. G. L. for the District Grand Director or the Deputy District Grand Master to receive any salary, but only a per diem of $6.00 for the actual time, spent at headquarters, this not to be over three days at a time. Now, in view of the law just quoted above, who has told a falsehood, Decker or myself? Let the thirty thousand Odd Fellows in the state answer. I am sure they will agree I have told the truth according to the law passed at our last grand lodge session, as it appears in the minutes. And it further shows that Decker has not only lied, but has been guilty of a gross violation of the law. If any brother doubts what I say, let him see the records in the District Grand Secretary's office and be convinced. Decker is fighting facts, and he knows it. He may as well try to make water run up stream as to try to pervert this well known truth. Now come up to the lick log, Decker, and take your medicine. It may be bitter but you must take it. Decker, in order to throw mud in the eyes of the brotherhood, and draw their attention from the salary grab, sets up the howl that I had grabbed some too; but he is mistaken. To show that I did not violate the contract drawn up between the building committee and myself, I call attention to the minutes of the grand lodge session, compiled by Decker Johnson himself, see page 78 of the minutes of 1913 of said building committee's report, which reads as follows: "The executive committee referred to us the entire responsibility of erecting the building. They gave us a limit of $100,000.00, and we worked hard not to go beyond our limit, but we found it absolutely impossible not to, in view of making necessary arrangements for heating and lighting the auditorium, which is now in course of construction, together with other improvements that were unforeseen at the time the plan was drawn and the contract let. We have gone $10,000.00 beyond our limit set by the executive committee. "Just here we feel it our duty.

The photo of the young murderer was taken in the prison yard Thursday by Photographer J. W. Johnston. An effort was made to get a cut from an old picture of the slain man but it was too indistinct. The picture of Mrs. Baker from which this cut was made was taken about twenty years ago. [Picture of a man with a bald head and a white shirt with a bow tie. The background is black and white.

Myrtle Lodge, No. 1663, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, celebrated their fortieth anniversary Wednesday night with a banquet at the Duffy Street hall. Nearly three hundred persons enjoyed this deligtful evening's entertainment and the officers and members of the lodge were the recipients of many congratulation upon the long and successful career of the lodge, it being the second oldest Odd Fellow lodge in the state and the oldest in the city and being instrumental in forming Past Grand Masters' Council No. 60. At the banquet Wednesday night the principal speakers were, W. H. Burgess, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, T. E. Ferreebee and E. H. Burke. Mrs. F. A. Merchison and Miss Ada Scott read papers and musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. Rosa E. Stevens and Mrs. Frances Mason. Music was furnished by the Metronome orchestra. Mr. G. W. Williams., the oldest member of the lodge and a charter member, read a most interesting history of the lodge. This, in the opinion of many of the guests, was the real feature of the evening. Another Negro Dry Goods Store Opened At 461 West Broad street, Mr. J. W. McCall has opened a first class dry goods store, this being the second store of this kind conducted here by Negroes. Mr. McCall, who is from Ailey, Ga., where he has been and is now conducting a general merchandise store, is well known in this section of the state and knows the dry goods business well. He has been successful at Ailey and his opening of a store here will doubtless be equally successful. He has a very gool location on West Broad street and carries a nice stock of goods. Mr. McCall is being assisted in the business by his wife, who also knows the business well. Infant Son of Mr. and Mr. F. P. Chisholm Dies. Frank P. Chisholm, Jr., the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Chisholm, 35 Humbolt ave., Boston, Mass., died Wednesday morning, March 3rd, after an illness of more than four weeks. The funeral services were held in St. John's Evangelist Church, Boston, Saturday morning, March 6th. The remains were removed to Mt. Hope cemetery, Boston. JOHN A.

Pop Corn Stand Opened by John Roston Another Negro business enterprise which bids fair to be very successful is the opening of a pop corn. stand in the Savannah Pharmacy, 917 West Broad street, by Mr. John Roston. At considerable expense Mr. Roston has installed the latest improved machinery for making the delicate candy which tickles the palate of grown-ups as well as children and the way the public has been consuming the Roston product shows that he is turning out the kind of fluffy stuff which Savannahians like. Mr. Roston is one of the young men of the city who sees a great possibility in the business field here for the Negro. His advent into the pop corn business is welcomed by his large circle of friends and the business men in general. Mr. Roston is being assisted in his business by his sister, Mrs. John Freeman.

Braxton and Mrs. Geo. S. Williams. It is the first of its kind ever held in this city. It will perhaps attract great attention, owing to the fact that it is known as an inspiration meeting to the young girls. The meeting will not be for women only but for men as well. The participants will be as follows: Mrs. Louise M. Braxton, Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, Mrs. H. M. Reed, Mrs. L. M. Pollard, Mrs. J. L. Taylor, Mrs. R. R. Wright, Mrs. H. S. Ruttledge, Mrs. Robt.

A combination which will give Savannahians the largest and most complete tailoring establishment, opened here by Negroes, is that in which Messrs C. A. Lewis and A. P. Barnard have formed a partnership. These gentlemen were the two largest Negro tailors in the city and each carried a fine assortment of patterns and served a large patronage. The partnership agreement takes place immediately, the firm being known as Lewis and Barnard and being conducted at No. 310 Whitaker street, the old stand of Mr. Barnard. The combination formed by these gentlemen will enable them to better serve their many customers, as they will be able to carry a much larger stock of goods from which their patrons may select. Both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Barnard are finished tailors in every respect and have had long experience in their line of business. At the opening Monday a large and beautiful line of goods will be displayed, in fact the stock carried by this new firm will be as complete as can be found in the city. The firm will be pleased to have their many patrons call around and inspect their new and up-to-date stock, many of the patterns being the latest weave turned out by the factories. NUMBER 25 RAYMOND BAKER KILLS PARENTS RAYMOND BAKER KILLS PARENTS CLAIMS MOTHER WAS SHOT ACCIDENTLY. Quarrels With Father Slayer's Cousin Carries Him at Point of Revolver to County Police—Mother Dies Instantly, Father Next Day at Sanitarium —Parents in Comfortable Circustance. One of the most revolting crimes which has taken place in Chatham county for several years and one which aroused considerable excitement was that of last Saturday evening which occurred at Baker's crossing, near Sand Fly station, when Raymond Baker, age 21 years, slew his father and mother, Mr. Edward Baker and Mrs. Lucretia Baker. It was just about 8:10 o'clock when the horrible deed was committed by the slayer, which took away from this peaceful settlement two of the most thrifty Negroes in the community. From the best information obtainable, all had been quiet at the Baker home during the day. Mr. Baker had but shortly returned home from his day's work and was sitting down talking to Mrs. Baker, who was ironing, when the son, who had been drinking, showed up and a quarrel between the man and his father ensued because the latter would not give him more money with which to satisfy his desire for whiskey. It appears that in some manner a scuffle, the boy claims, over the possession of a shotgun took place and in the fight, over the weapon it was fired, the load of shots piercing his mother's heart, causing death instantly. It is claimed the boy finally got hold of the gun and fired the shot which tore off one whole side of his father's skull and resulted in his death the next day. Albert Griffin, who lives in the next house to the Bakers, heard the shots fired and grabbing up his revolver rushed out. He entered the Baker house, where he found the slayer. Raymond seeing that he was cornered by Mr. Griffin who threw his gun on him, submitted to arrest and was carried at the point of the gun to Sand Fly station where the county police were summoned and later incarcerated. Dr. G. W. Smith had in the mean time been called and when he arrived he ordered Mr. Baker carried to the East Side Sanitarium. Everything was done to bring the wounded man to consciousness but he expired the next day. Mr. and Mrs. Baker were two of the best known Negroes near Sand Fly and were in very comfortable circumstances. Their son, the slayer, would have at their death become heir to their possessions, as he was their only child. Mr. Baker was 63 years of age, his wife 55. He was a carpenter by trade and followed this and other occupations. The funerals of the slain parents took place at SandFly Wednesday and was attended by a large crowd, both white and colored. The two bodies were interred in the same grave. Mr. L. G. Middleton III Friends of Mr. L. G. Middleton will regret to learn of his serious illness. Mr. Middleton who was stricken suddenly last week, was at the time of our going to press yesterday resting quietly. His condition however is still considered grave. Mr. E. C. Williams Heads Locah Standard Life Office. Mr. E. C. Williams, who has for the past few years been connected with the Guaranty Insurance company was appointed this week to the head of the local office of the Standard Life Insurance company. Mr. Williams' friends wish him much success as head of the local office of this large and progressive company. Voile a Favored Spring Fabric ‘Trimmings of Worsted Embroid- . ery on Tulle and Chiffon BLACK. VERY ‘POPULAR New York March 12—The last month has proven that Paris is mot napping. The couturiers have supplied fashions for the waiting “Americans despite depressed conditions, and their openings have been almost as gay as ever. I say almost, for one cannot get over ‘the atmos- phere of grief which enters the place when one sees the suppress- ed sorrow on the face of the sales- woman or model. The manne- quins themselves are not less gay, but it is often a forced gaiety. The gowns show less change than heretofore, but what they lack in variety they make up in artistry. The couturicrs have had sfo heart for the bizarre, and therefore have improved . upon what they have had. . (sen 7 : “Sh | el Bet rit EH LEP y] Check and Plain Voile Combine in This Frock. The Franco-Prussian war closed a period noted for its extrava- gance in dress, and following was a time of severity and plainness which was felt over the entire civilized world. To-day has seen another period of extravagance closed by a world-wide war, and we are now entering upon another period which bids fair to be one of naturalness and simplicity, and a turning from the Orientalism, which brought in the lampshade tunics and the Turkish styles of a few seasons back. i The Paris openings show that voile, wool, silk, or cotton is used a great deal in the development of the new gowns. There are separate waists also made of it, usually in sand or putty colors. They suit the khaki and field cloth suits which are the rage of early spring. Simplicty is the mode in these waists, which button primly down the front and are sometimes tucked singly or in clusters. High collars, soft, and boned only at the sides, are very poptfar. These collars should not fit the neck tightly, but wrinkle loosely over the hones. If at all tight, they have lost their style. The waists of thin fabrics are by far smarter than those made of heavier fabrics. Chiffon and a voile which is warranted inde- structable and looks more like chiffon and voil, but with the lat- ter’s durability, is used a great deal for these waists, even of the simplest and plainest styles. Beneath these waists are worn corset covers of plain white, flesh- colored, or pink-taffeta scalloped ‘at the tep and buttoned down the the front. Beige and sand-color- ed taffeta is also used, to be worn under white chiffon or voile waists. In my iMustration is shown a dress of tan voile. The bolero effect in the waist is made of an irregular checked voile in dull shades of red, yellow and brown. The full skirt is untrimmed. Voile and other fabrics are be- ing sold with borders in con- trasting colors. This helps in the trimming scheme, as it us- ually needs nothing else to make the dress complete. A serviceable dress on trim new lines is shown in my second il- lustration. The side-closing of the waist, corresponding with the side closing of the skirt, is both neat and attractive. A high col: lar with a turnover of white shows the latest whim in collars. Notice the simple belt of the same cloth even to the cloth- covered buckle. One of the odd and quaint novelties in evenfig frocks is made with flounces of white tulle edged with pink worsted em- broidery. It is unusual, to say the least, and very effective. This worsted embroidery is used on chiffon, net, silk and voile. Silk frocks have embroidered flowers at the waist, on the.end of the sashes, as a border to a hem. A blue frock which I have recent- ly seen had a fringe around the bottom of yellow-and-blue crewel fringe. | In Europe mourning reigns; it jis seldom that one goes upon the street in Paris, or London, or Ber- {tin without passing more people in black, or black and white, than in any other color. This, of course, causes black and white to be favored here. The new silks shows stripes of black and white, with a white flower thrown in relief against the stripes. Black suits are made with vests of wide-striped silk, | Checks and stripes play a large part in the trimming of many of ‘the Spring gowns. A stunning little suit which I saw not long ago of blue voile was made en- tirely over a blue-and-white check silk, the checks being al- most an inch square. A frock of black chiffon was made over a flounced underskirt which had each ruffle? finished with a band of striped black-and-white silk an inch and a half deep, the stripes running up and down. Pa I Ae | ( Peers PAGE aN See BN The Trimly Tailored Effect is the Feature of this Frock. Children’s frocks change much Tess in comparison with the styles of their elders, but this Spring finds the short-waisel frocks much more popular than the long- waisted ones, although the latter have not become passe by any manner of means. ‘The short- waisted frocks are very becoming to the small chil. and to the petite girl, but for the tall, or very plump child the long-waisted models are much more becorning. The Dutch styles a e¢ very much the vogue for the small girl. These have plain, but full skirts, usually of one color and blouses of white, very short, the Jkirts are usually fastened to the waists with large buttens. These have been called the “Fiorence Dem- bey” drosses—probably becasse some enterprising wholesaler wanted to yet a Dicken’s name for a small girl to correspond with the Loy’s “Q'iver Twist” suit.

Not since abolition days before the Civil war has such a meeting of protest been held in Boston as that of 3,000 colored people at Tremont Temple yester- day afternoon, who gathered to voice their protest against ‘the “unfair treatment” of the colored race by the white race. * Modern abolitionists, intluding Moorfield Storey, J. Mott Hallo- well, Francis Garrison, the only living son of William Lloyd Gar- rison; Mrs. Frances H. Williams, niece of Wendell Phillips; Con- gressman Martin B. Madden of Illinois, the Hon. Samuel W. Mc Call, Mrs. Mary E. Wilson and Dr. J. E. Spingarn of Washington, joined in the protest, and for three hours the attitude of the white race towards the colored people was bitterly assailed. | EVEN CHURCH PREJUDICE ' “There is an organized move- ment in this country to keep the colored people down,” said Moor- fild Storey. “There is just as much South- ern anti-colored control in Con- gress to-day as before the war and they are just as much rebel in their hearts,” said congress- man Madden. “We have appealed to the church, believing Christ was in the church, to be judged by stand- ards, other people are judged by, yet there was never so much prej- ‘udice against us as there is to- day,” said Mrs. Mary E. Wilson. | «The white man will never give the Negro his rights until the Negro demands those rights. champions of the intermarriage bills aren’t backing those bills to stop intermarrying but to put the black women of the country ab- solutely at the mercy of the white man,” said Dr. J. E. Spingarn. Pass Resolutions The meeting reached its climax when amid great enthusiasm, J. Mott Hallowell offered the fol- lowing resolutions, which were passed unanimously: “We plesge our loyalty to the republic of the United States and to the great principles for the perpetuation of which it was con- ceived and formed, freedom and equal opportunity for all. “Without animosity or rancor, but firm in the belief that protest is urgently needed, we protest against the attempts in the na- tional Congress by certain men from one section of the country to extend through ‘national laws their un-American and_ sectional doctrines of race humiliation... - “Segregation and Jim Crow leg- islation will prevent no evil and will only arouse race hatred. “Racial blood intermixture be- tween white people and colored people will never be prevented by laws which punish marriage and | open the door to immorality. “If this country is civilized it should protect all women regard- less of color. The proposed anti- marriage law is merely a flimsy pretence, the soul result of which would be the protection of the white libertine. “Resolve, that these resolutions be printed, and a copy’ be sent to each member of the Sixty-fourth Congress and to the President.” Moorfield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presided, and in opening the meet- ing said: “It is more necessary than ever befére to arouse the conscience of the American people to a point where they will treat 10,000,000 of their population the same as they treat the rest. . “In regard to the colored peo- ple we find the door of opportu- nity closed everywhere. “If these people are only sus- pected of crime they are liable to be seized and without trial hanged and tortured. If they want to —==——_————————— work the doors of the neighboring unions are closed to them. In some quarters they are denied the right to carry on agriculture. States are passing laws regarding whom, they shall marry. The hotels, the theaters, are closed to them. In some quarters they are allowed to travel only in certain ways. They are constantly be- ing subjected to- indignities of every sort through a coward- ly and wicked policy. “People far and wide should re- fuse to vote for a man unless he deciares himself on this subject.” ‘A Southern Blight” Congressman Marten B Madden of Iilinios began by saying that this country to-day is troubled with Southern blight whieh pre- vents a healthy growth of our in- stitutions, “Men of the South,” he said, “come and stay in Congress and when they are through their sons come and take their places. Eve- ry committee of importance in. our national affairs is headed by a Confederate soldier. They are in greater control today than they werc before the war and they are just as much rebel in their hearts. “I have given my life to the cause of liberty and justice. Men of the colored race engaged in the wars of this country. They of- fered themselves that this couh- try might be free. They fought in 448 engagements and left over 38,000 on the battlefields. The country owes them a debt and to repay that debt is to give them a chance in life.” Protest Wrongs of Ten Millions | Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the Na- tional Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, said, “I have come to Boston to protest the wrongs of 10 millions of people, I have come to rouse the black man from his apathy and indifference and to let them know that with them rests the question of whether they will have justice. You colored men and’ women must never rest until you force men in Congress to get’ up and fight for a justice white men need as much as you. We must teach 80,000,000 that they have been unjjust to 10,000,000” —Boston Post, March 8th. THE BEST PLAGE. | ‘In Savannah _ | FOR MEN'S GOOD SHOES’ | Prices $3.50up | | B. Hl. Levy Bro: & Go. .

DEVEAUX Published by SOI. C. JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor JAS. H. BUTLER Asso. Editor and Manager ED. H. BURKE City Editor Published Every Saturday 1009 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 Saturday March 13th 1915 With the advent of spring, the minds of our boys and girls naturally are turning from the dull, weary moments of winter to the many and varied entertainments of the spring time. For several years past, the amusement furnished our children during the spring has not only been interesting and entertaining but wholesome as well. This spring should be no exception. The pent up energy of the boys and girls should be again given an opportunity to manifest itself in the right manner and those who have heretofore taken an interest in providing suitable amusements for the children, should begin planning for the same this year. Especially was the lot of the children made happy last year with the annual spring field day sports at the baseball park, which were participated in by hundreds of boys and girls, the outings given the girls by the Urban League and also the baseball league for the boys conducted by that organization. The past three or four years have seen an awakening of the thoughtful Negroes of the city to the fact that amusement of a wholesome nature should be afforded our children and they have in a most commendable manner provided the same. The children, therefore, have now been brought to the place where they look forward with much pleasurable anticipation to the provision of this entertainment and it would be a source of much general disappointment if this year something is not done for their benefit along amusement lines. Because of the provision of adequate amusement of the proper spot for our children, Savannah has taken the lead of all cities of the state and many have been the inquiries from various towns as to the manner in which our spring amusement fetes are conducted, especially the May day field sport festival which is participated in by all of the public and large private schools and which provides a means of enjoyment to both parents and children alike. The successful conduct of these various amusements, has entailed a responsibility which those who have in the past assumed can not afford to shirk at this time, and instead of giving a deal car to the clamor of the children for what is really due them, they should seek to broaden the scope of their endeavors to assist the children in their physical development by making this year's entertainment the best and largest in the history of the city. Others are giving their time, efforts and means for the proper development of their children and we can ill afford to be unheedful of the welfare of our children. Many are the times when lodges, beneficent societies or clubs thinking that they are assisting a worthy cause really squander their money and would accomplish much more if they were to keep it in the treasury for the assistance of their members. It is truly difficult sometimes for these organizations to differentiate between an appeal that is really worthy and those that are not, so willingly have they given of their means in the past. But not so with a certain lodge of the Knights of Damons of this city. By watching diligently the work of the various charitable organizations and endeavoring to find which was really helping to assist fallen humanity, the attention of the lodge was called to the commendable work being done by the local branch of the Urban League. The society investigated the work of the league and after satisfying itself that real work of charity was being performed, de- cided to donate out of the treasury one dollar per month to the work. The name of the lodge that has done this, differentiated between the worthy and unworthy is Success and there is no doubt but that its name, because of the manner in which it conducts its affairs, will be synonimous with the ultimate result of all things done by the lodge The establishment at Wilberforce University in connection with the commercial department, of a commercial amusement museum which will contain permanent exhibits of evidences of Negro activities in commerce, finance and industry, is a step forward which every thoughtful and far seeing Negro should fully appreciate and which every Negro business man should look upon with much interest. The Tribune has long since felt that there was altogether too great indifference manifested by many of our institutions of learning when it comes to information concerning the material progress which the race has made since its emancipation. Knowledge which this commercial museum at Wilberforce will impart to the students who take advantage of it will be of unestimable value to them and inspire them as nothing else can do. It will broaden their general store of information concerning the material accomplishments which have been attained by Negroes in every part of the country and will make them conversant with the kind of progress of which too often graduates from many of our leading schools show ignorance. While we realize that it takes time to impart knowledge to students in the proper way and that the schools' curricula are as a general thing very full, yet we feel that the innovation started by Wilberforce to teach the students some of the material accomplishments made by the race might well be followed by other Negro schools throughout the country. Not only do recent graduates coming from some of our largest schools manifest a state of total ignorance when asked about the material progress which the race has made, but we find too often well educated Negroes who have lived for years in certain communities, who exhibit the same state of total ignorance concerning the material progress which is being made in their town by the race. The establishment of the commercial museum at Wilberforce will to a great extent cause this condition of affairs to be changed, for those who come under the teaching of those in charge of the museum will have inculcated in them a desire to learn what is being accomplished by the race and when they leave school this desire doubtless will assert itself and cause them to become conversant with the material progress which is being wrought in their various communities.

On earth thou have so often longed to be. Sister thou art gon to rest, We cannot see thee here; But oh! how often in our dreams, Your smiling face appears You ask us not to weep for you, Though hard to us it seems; For you fell into a deep slumber, And awoke to find that death was only a dream. Sister, Ellen Thomas. New-York City. In sad and loving memory of a devoted daughter, a loving sister, and a sincere friend, JOSEPHINE JULIETT DRAYTON. Who departed this life March 13, 1912. Three lonely years have passed away, Our hearts are sore as time goes by; We miss your smile and loving face, No one can fill the vacant place. Though flowers we lay upon your grave, May wither and decay; The love we bore for you in life, Can never fade away. But your memory will be cherished, 'Til we meet thee in the skies; Where our days are filled with sunshine; And no tear drops fill our eyes. Thou are gone but not forgotten, Nor will thou ever be; For as long as time and memory last, We shall always remember thee. Georgia H Drayton, Mother. Messrs. Chas. and Jas.

I say; He is not dead He is just away. M. F. Williams Loving nieces, Sadie A Freeman Anna F McCotty NANCY · CINCHOLS, Who departed this life March 2, 1914. Oh! dearest loving mother, Since you have passed away; It seems not as a year ago, But only yesterday. When'er we speak your loving name; Our eyes with tears are turned; Oh mother, how we miss you, And how can we forget. But the Lord has taken you from us, It was His holy will; And left in our hearts a vacancy, Which no one else can till. But in our saddest moments. One happy thought holds sway; We will meet again dear mother, And be happy some sweet day. Deaths Mr. Dock Batchelor who departed this life Sunday evening March 2nd, was born in Raleigh, N.

Spring, beloved of, the poets and the world at large, will soon be at hand. Its coming will re- move at leats one chronic excuse of tha,man who does not attend lodge mectings, “bad weather”, In Masonic circles as in nature, the spring should be a season of growth. \n order to secure this increased attendance and revive interest it may be necessary for the offi- vers: and interested members to take particular pains, and go to some unusual preparations. It might be well to have a “home- coming night,” a program, not too long, refreshments, and an endeavor to get every member on the roll to come. ‘Then a good deal depends on what these occasional visitors find after they get to the meet- ing. If they are met with re- proaches for their absence and «re jeered at for their past short- comings they are not apt to come again soon. "If they find the work carelessly done, or the program long and tiresome, they will re- gret that they Icft their homes, But if they are given a cordial welcome, if they are made to feel that their presence is a help, i ‘the find the work perfornted with precision, the officers per- feet in the different parts, then the average man will realize that he bas been missing a pleasure as well as neglecting a duty. The next step is better attendance and a better Mason—Selected. Reading and Visiting. One of the great needs of Ma- sonry, so far as the conduct of the lodge is concernied, is a closer contact. among the -different lodges. One of the best ways is by the intelligent redding of Ma- sonic publications. This keeps the individual in touch with the best Masonic thought of the day. It is upen to every man at a nom- inal cost. In order to avail him- self oF il, he need not stir from his own’ doorstep. Masons should read more literature of the raft, Another valuable way: ts by vis- itation of lodges other than your ewn, Americans are a nation of travelers, Only a very few men remain in the jurisdiction of their own fudge from one year’s end tw another, Almost every one has an opportunity to visit other lodges Certainly every Worshp- ful Mastersand) other — officers should visit when possible. Vgreat deal depends upon the spirit in which the visit is made. If the obyect ts to cat the refresh- ments provided on gala occasions, or to make a speech that will be asked from the waiting brother, or just to have a good time, then few, any, real and lasting bene- fits whl “he obtamed. On the otherdiand the Mason-who keeps his eyes andl cars open, “observes methods and make mquiries, can- not fad lo learn many things that will help him and, bis own lodge Likewise the lodge that is yisitec can pick up-some pointers from the steanger. In Masonry, as yy other rela. tions of fife, the mai with the ob: serving eye, the listening car, anc the inquiring mind is he whe Idarns —delected. Arbitration treaties will nc longer be necessary when — the work reaches Masonry’s concep: tion of Use brotherhood of man. Recommending Candidates. ‘Tou auch care cannot be ex- erened in recommending candi- dates for admission to our lodges, and the laudable desire to see the lodge grow and expand should not be allowed to influence mem- bers when endorsing petitions for initiation. ft should always be borne in mind that our order is the most ancient and lionorable institution ever devised by man; inhes been handed down to us as a sacred (rust, and on us devolves a duty of maintaining its spotiess reputrtion, and upholding — its ehiare ver by not only practicing its precepts and profiting by its teachings, but by right, excluding those who, by their moral untit- Ness, prove themselves unworthy to be seevived among us. Above all the ancicnt landmark which jerbids improper — solicitation, should be Gept inviolate. The ap- wiieant for admission inte Ma- sonry must come torward on his d@wn free will and accord, and it isa gt oss injustice to him as well as at breach of Masonic law, to ask any person, no matter bow eligibic te may be. to jojin the order Que who has been so so- licited is compelled, on the very threshold of the lodge room tc either lie outright or jeopar- dize his prospects of advancing further; and the candidate who has been importuned cannot have that high opinion of the order which is held by him who comes voluntarily.—Masonic Chronicle. Any one who is prepared for the Blue Lodge is so for all the so called higher degrees. There is nothing sublimer, more exacting than the character requirements of ancient craft Masonry. But the trouble is, men creep in who are not duly and truly prepared. White Men Lynched. Clarendon, Ark., March 3—Jeff Mansel and H. M. Cendy, white fishermen, accused of stealing hogs were taken from officers and shot to death by a mob_ near Clarendon yesterday, according to reports made to the sheriff here to-day. The men were being taken in a boat through the narrow bayou to jail when the mob, on the bank of the stream, ordered that the pris- oners be landed. The men were heavily armed, the officers declar- ed, and the command was com- plied with. Later the bodies of the fishermen, riddled with bul- lets, were found by a searching party. Efforts to night to secure in- formation as to the identy of members of the mob were unsuc- cessful. * TO WRITE BOOK ON NEGRO RACE Earnest Cox Goes to Washington To Begin His Work. | Atlanta, Ga., Feb.27—After a study of the Negro race lasting five years and taking him around the world, Earnest Sevier Cox, a graduate of Vanderbilt Univer- sity and post graduate of Uni- versity of Chicago, is in Atlanta on his way to Washington to be- gin the writing of a study of the Negro, which will embrace five volumes and which he expects to be -bought by the United States Government. Cox began his study in 1o1o. .\ native of the South and intimately familiar with the Americanized Negro in this section ofthe country, he de- termiped that no study of the Ne- gro would he complete unless it meluded the members as found in every country where Negroes live in considerable numbers, and cordingly le journes dd to South America and spent several months amoug the Negroes there. Then he went to .Africa and made the s.o00-mile trip from the Cape to Cire, traveling 1.800 niles of the distance on foot with ne other white man in his party. From Mica he went to Australia, then into Asia, and finally back to the West Indies. A Pessimist. Little Willie—Say, pa, what is a pes- simist?

Greenland fs governed by the Green- land commission at Copenhagen, Den- mark. It was first settled by a band of Norsemen under Erik the Red. who gave It Its name, in 985. A bishopric was founded ‘there in the twelfth cep- tury by the king of Norway, and about 1260 it was constituted a state of Nor- way. There then followed a blank of 200 years in Greenland’s history, due to.climatic disasters, but beginning with the Danish settlement of 1721 the couutry has belonged to Denmark. f APPFARANCES. | «Never be influenced by external appearance in forming your judg- ment of a person's worth.

Terms reasonable, NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER As the beautiful spring time begins to approach, and as vegetation begins to spring up under the sun kissed rays of the Southern blue skies, the Negro business men of this community are beginning to get together and plan and think how best to hold what businesses they now possess and add just a little more energy, enthusiasm and activity into the Negro business community life. These men who bring things to pass and who are not afraid to tell how it happened, are very much elated over the part that they played in advertising to the world the splendid business opportunities that Savannah offers to the right kind of men; and how such publicity appealed to a splendid business man with means, experience and the good sense to realize the first rap out of the box, that Savannah was all and even more than what the Negro business men had been claiming it to be, and grasped opportunity by the fore lock and as a result, Savannah can boast to-day of another Negro dry-good store. A:Fine Location Mr. J. W. McCall, who, with his splendid wife, and she by the way, is the power behind the throng, is from Ailey, Ga., where they have and are still conducting a general merchandise business. Mr McCall is located in his new branch store, at 461 West Broad street. He, too, like our old dry goods merchant, Scott Brothers, carries a full line of dry goods, shoes, notions etc. The Small Business Man. The small business man of today, is the merchant prince of tomorrow, provided he does not allow himself to forget to study the wants of the people. No business man can afford to allow himself or his help to be impolite and discourteous to people with money in hand to spend. Our men in business are fast learning that though their business be small and a humble beginning, if they treat the public fairly and give them a square deal, no power on earth, nor in the waters under the earth, can keep them from succeeding. Make each Day Amount for Something. Since we are the acknowledged child race in this country, and since the other fellow has had such an unequaled start on us, and, too, since some of us have not quite brought ourselves up to the place to see how a black man can really be a banker, real estate dealer, insurance man, merchant or be engaged in any of the higher callings where brains, energy and integrity are needed, hence we must actually make every day count in trying to convince some poor cringing brother of the importance and real need of giving to his own kith and kin at least a portion of his business. We must render the best service possible. We often hear it said, "The reason I don't like to trade with some of our Negro men in business is that they don't seem to appreciate my trade". Mr. Business Man, a little kindness and a few smiles, though at times they are forced, are very cheap, but pay handsomely in the end. Just a few days ago, the writer happened to be in a certain Greek restaurant when a colored brother came in and "got bad" and proceeded to run things his way for a while, but the proprietor being a business diplomat said, "Meester, I Vood see to it dot ye git vot ye vant". The results were, that this Greek got 65c of this good colored brother's hard earned cash, and that same afternoon, this same, colored brother was in a certain barber shop on West Broad street advising all who heard him to go to this Greek's place of business for first class meals and paints-taking accommodations. Mr. Negro Restaurant Keener, be warned. Cry Baby Shunned as Deadly Poison No one wishes to come in contact with the proverbial cry baby and fault finder. The business man(?) who always has a tale of woe to tell, how someone took advantage of him and how much this man qwes him and how long he has been owing him and in short, what a miserable, hard, old world this is to live in anyhow, will be slumped and given a wide berth by that thorough going, quick-sighted business man, who is determined, with God to help that he will succeed anyhow. The keen-witted, far-sighted Negro business man is learning to take advantage of every possible opportunity to get the best results out of his business ventures, with the least possible cost of operation. As an example for a proof of this statement, your attention is called briefly to, the consolidation of the Union. Mutual Association, the oldest Negro industrial insurance company in the state, and the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association, the organizer and owner of the latter company, Mr. A. F. Herndon, who is now president of the consolidated companies, is reputed as being the wealthiest Negro in the state of Georgia. Mr. T. K. Gibson, secretary-manager. After years and years of business experience in handling these two great Negro insurance companies, the officers and directors decided that it would be a good thing to consolidate and make the two combined, the strongest concern of its kind in the country. Things like these are what the Negro Business League stands for, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings in each month; Wage Earners bank building, West Broad and Alice streets. Sea Side News, Bluffton, S. C. J Charles Mardenborugt Rev. Coit, presiding elder of Beaufort district, preached the memorial sermon for the Afro-American Order of Owls at the A. M. E. Church on Sunday. His text was: "If a man die should he live again" Jobe 14th chapter and 14th verse. The sermon was both eloquent and full of logic; the lucidity of which made every one present openly acknowledge having been greatly benefited. Mr. Joe Bennett, of Thunderbotl, Ga., spent Sunday with us, we are always glad to see our old friends. Rev. Maynard has gone away to spend about ten days. We hope for him an enjoyable time. Rev. J. J. Jenkins preached at Clay Hall Church on Sunday. Mrs. J. H. Haynes is much improved at this writing. The Owls memorial program was a great success, a very large crowd was out. The program showed that thought had been put in each part. Mrs. Lizzy Polite was in town on Sunday. We are always glad to see her.

Barnes have mutually agreed to be separate at their home No. 917 40th, street A Complete Demolishment of Decker Johnson's Tommy-Rot that appeared in the At Lanta Independent, February 27th. (Continued from first page) as well as our pleasure, to inform you that your headquarters is a gracious gift; that it was built for you in your name; the deeds are made to you without cost to you. No taxation was levied, and no additional burden imposed upon you. All of which is due most largely to the business judgment and financial genious of our D. G. S. "The building is the finest of its kind in the world owned by colored people. It is the most spacious, commodious, up-to-date, modern and sanitary in all its apartments. It is the only undertaking of its kind that was ever built by our race and paid cash for. It is not only an honor to the order, but a distinct contribution to the race's greatness and usefulness in America, and an honor as well as a valuable material contribution to the community in which the building is erected." Here you have the committee's report and this shows why the extra charges. It was done by the sanction and authority of your building committee, for the reason above stated. Who is right, Decker or the committee? Who has lied, Decker or the committee? Now, if the committee is right, I am vindicated and Decker is wrong. Another thing about which he is equally wrong, is that I joined the order just prior to 1909, to get the contract. He charges that I am a six year old Odd Fellow. Let us see whether this is true or not. What are the facts? When Augusta Lodge No 2985 was instituted in the latter part of 1887, a little more than 27 years ago, I was one of its charter members, and its first elective secretary. When I removed to Atlanta, I placed my clearance card with Fulton Enterprise Lodge No. 2428; and but for a short time spent by me in Alabama, I have been a financial member in the order in this state for 27 years. Therefore, the statement made by Decker Johnson, is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. I was a member long before he was charged with misappropriating grand lodge funds when he was District Grand Secretary. And just as he has lied about other things, he has lied about this. Decker, do you know that I got the contract for the erection of the Odd Fellows' headquarters in open competition? Then, why am I under obligation to Burl Ingram or anybody else? I have given value received. Where does the Brutus and Caesar come in? Your allusion to the moral of Brutus and Caesar has no application here. For when were Ingram or myself ever bosom friends like Brutus and Caesar? Never; and no one knows it better than you. You talk about setting sails to the winds in that you out-generaled Herod in Savannah. Let us see if you didn't. At Dublin in 1913, at the meeting of the Deputies and Supervisors, a committee was appointed consisting of Decker Johnson, Dr. R. C. Williams and myself, to formulate a slate of officers to be elected at the Savannah session. Decker was the foremost exponent of the slate, and most severe in his denunciations of, Burl Ingram. Decker was put on as auditor, and shelled the woods with oratory because he wanted a job, and wanted to get even. The slate was fine to Decker until he reached Savannah and found that Burl had gained the sympathy and endorsement of the Savannah Odd Fellows by his cry of persecution. Decker then deserted his colors, and climbed aboard the Ingram Band Wagon. He had not had a job in ten years and needed one, and he was willing to make a combination with anyone to get it. By so doing you acted the part of Brutus toward the men with whom you served in making the slate. The position you take relative to the executive committee not authorizing the 18th B. M. C. movement is also erroneous. You ought to know that the Executive Committee are paying out of the Odd Fellows' treasury to the Secretary-Manager of this movement, salary and clerk hire, amounting upwards of two thousand dollars per year. You cannot fool all the people all the time. You said you had been instrumental in reducing the salaries of the officers but instead you have been instrumental in raising them by committing an unlawful act by creating the 18th B. M. C. department. Decker, your house is of glass. The Odd Fellows of Georgia are too familiar with your record as an Odd Fellow and officer to take you seriously. They know that your record is checkered. The A. M. E. Church looks upon your candidacy for Bishop as a joke, for they know you have a sore spot which has never healed. Have you forgotten that you were required to resign as District Grand Secretary because you were charged with misappropriation of the order's funds? You may have forgotten it, but your brother Odd Fellows have not, and never will. You should be the last to criticise anyone, for your record will not bear it. You call me a. Benedict Arnold, a Judas Iscariot. If calling the attention and protesting against unlawful expenditures, and the unlawful raising of your salary, without warrant of law makes me a Benedict Arnold or Judas Iscariot, then I am willing to be called one, and am glad to be called one. For I did it not that I loved you less, but the order more. Now, your attempt to explain away these illegal transactions is all bosh, and if you are not convinced of this fact, you will be next August. Decker, you have been weighed in a balance and found wanting. Your misrepresentation of facts will not mislead the brethren. They have your record, and it is against you as a seeker of loaves and fishes. Again, Decker, I denounce you as unworthy of the position you hold, and at Athens you will reap what you have sown. Vituperation and abuse will not detract the minds of the people from the real facts, and knowing your record. I will present that record to the people and ask a verdict at their hands. R. E.
