The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX FIRST CHURCH CALLS PASTOR First Negro Baptist Church Established in America-New Pastor a Young Man of 30 Church in Excellent Financial Condition-Pastor. Called Unaimously. On last Sunday afternoon the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square, called as its pastor the Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, of Jackson, Tennessee. The selection of Rev. Goodall on last Sunday after an interim of almost a year and a half without the pulpit being filled, the Rev. W. L. Jones who died seventeen months ago being the last pastor, brings one of the most progressive and able young ministers in the Baptist denomination. There were many applicants for the charge which is considered one of the best in the country, many ministers with wide reputation as leaders in that faith were considered for the pastorate, but the recommendation of the deacon board of the young divine from Tennessee met with the unanimous approval of the church and he was elected to the pastorate without any opposition The Rev. Goodall who is in his thirtieth year and at present pastor of one of the largest churches at Jackson, Tenn., was born near the city where he is pastoring and received his academic and theological training at Roger Williams University. He is a young man of progressive ideas and has achieved unusual success in his short career in the ministry. The First African Baptist Church enjoys with the First Bryan Baptist the distinction of being the first Negro Baptist church established in America, the church having been 127 years old at its anniversary last January. It has had seven pastors and enrolls over 5,000 members. The financial standing of the church is said to be excellent and the church structure, one of the largest in the city, is in the best of repairs. The parsonage, located at West Broad and Maple lane, has been recently done over and is one of the best owned by a Negro church in the city. The newly elected pastor with his wife and two children is expected in the city in about three months' time. Nacred Concert at Pekin Theatre Sunday, tomorrow afternoon, at 3:20 o'clock, a sacred concert will be given at the Pekin theater. A chorus of fifty voices of children will be heard in glad and ringing sacred music. One of the features of the afternoon will be the awarding of the prizes in the pretty girls, contest recently held for the benefit of Beth Eden church, which was directed by Mrs. A. E. Orner. Well known persons will be among the participants and the public is cordially invited to be present. - Congregational Church Services The special services conducted at First Congregational Church by Rev. D.J. Flynn have proven very interesting and successful The occessions have been many. Rev. Flynn may remain until tomorrow, if so he will be heard at each service. The Young Women's Christian Association will hold its regular meeting at St. Philip church on tomorrow afternoon. The officers and members will be present at this meeting which promises to be very important. The public is cordially invited to attend. Samuel A. Grant, Jr. The Tribune congratulates Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Grant of E. Park Ave., on the arrival to them of a fine bouncing boy. Mother and baby are doing nicely. Atlanta, Ga.—The seventh annual glee club concert was a great success in every way. Under the skillful leadership of Prof. Sidney Woodward, the club gave a splendid entertainment which reached a high degree of excellence. The audience was the largest of the season and packed the chapel to the very doors. The star number of the evening was the famous "Miserere Duo" and the six part chorus from Verdi. This was sung by Miss Annie Massie and Mr. Sidney Woodward, assisted by the glee club. This was such a favorite with the great audience that they would not be satisfied until a part of it was repeated. Geibel's "Laughing-Gas", Strass "Beautiful Blue Danube", Kern's "Festival March", Will Marion Cook's "Exhortation" and three Jubilee Melodies were sung by the glee club, concluding with the touching melody, "Way up Yonder". There was a finish and swinging enthusiasm of the work of the club which carried away the audience. Students assisting the club were Misses Jessie Murphy, reader and pianist, of Atlanta; Miss Annie Massey, soprano, of Atlanta; Miss Sophie Howell, contralto, of Atlanta; Miss Esther Spencer, of Charleston, S. C., soprano; Mr. Walter Smith, of Chattanooga, Tenn., pianist and Mr. J. E. Covingfon, of Atlanta, baritone. The Atlanta University quartette was a great favorite as usual, and responded to an encore with a fine rendition of "Sweet and Low." Mr. Covington's solo, Schumann's "The two Grenadiers", was also greatly appreciated as was every number on the program. The concert was a great success in every way and request for its repetition have already been received. On Saturday night, March 13, Dr. J. J. Hall, president of the Georgia Peace Society, gave a very interesting lecture on his experiences in Europe at the outbreak of hostilities in the present war. He was in Constance as a delegate to the Church Peace Congress when the war broke out. Mr. Alonzo F. Herndon, a leading colored citizen of Atlanta, well known in insurance and real estate circles, has very generously established six cash prizes for public speaking in Atlanta University. The final contest for these prizes will come on Friday night, March 26, and is opened to the public free. The contestants have been putting in hard work and it is promised to be a noteworthy occasion. Both young men and young women will contest for these Herndon prizes. Faithful rehearsals for the comedy "The Count of No-Account" which is to be given by the college literary societies on Friday evening, March 19th, give evidence of a pleasurable entertainment. The university has a high reputation for excellence in dramatics, as well as in other lines, and this will be amply sustained in this instance. The subject for the Atlanta-Fisk-Howard triangular debate is the granting of immediate independence to the Philippines Is lands by the United States. One Atlanta team debates with Howard University in Washington another Atlanta team will debate with Fisk in Atlanta, while in Nashville Howard and Fisk will debate. The debate will occur on-Friday night, April 9th. The Atlanta University library has been made a depository by the Carnegie Library of the city, and about fifty volumes are now ready for circulation to the public school teachers of the city. The University library also keeps in circulation about fifty traveling libraries among the schools and the small towns of several states of the South. The library has recently received as a gift a large number of works of good fiction. Prof. J. A. Bigham of the Department of Sociology is having his class in sociology do original work in investigating the housing conditions of the city. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH 20TH Drunken White Man Shoots Lad ELIJAH JONES, 20, DIED FROM SHOTS EFFECT Murdered Lad was Passing When Man Fired Revolver to See if it Would Shoot. While in an intoxicated condition Wednesday night F. L. Speer, a white man, shot Elljah Jones, a Negro lad of 20, through the left arm and stomach with a revolver, afflicting a wound which proved fatal. The shooting occurred at East Broad and Gwinnett streets in the presence of a large crowd of people as it was during the rush hours of the early evening. Speer was arrested a short time later. Jones was walking along East Broad street without molesting anybody. It was simply a case of an innocent bystander being the victim. Statements made by the eyewitnesses indicate that Speer did not shoot at Jones but fired the revolver to see if it really would shoot. When locked in a cell in police station Speer was in a maudin condition. He said he would not hurt anybody. He claimed he did not shoot anybody. Just before the shooting Speer and his friends were in a restaurant. It was a few minutes later that the shooting occurred. Jones was walking along the street whistling when Speer opened fire. When the bullet struck him he said "I'm shot," and ran across East Broad street where he stumbled and fell on the east side of the street. Police headquarters was immediately notified of the shooting. When the officers arrived a big crowd had gathered and Jones was lying in the dirt still conscious. But little information could be gathered as to who did the shooting. Finally one woman said that a white man did it. Plain clothes officer Long soon found out a man who gave the information that Speer did the shooting and was then in a small room in the rear of the Kekenes restaurant. Speer was arrested immediately by Officer Long. Motorcycle Officer McGinley found a man who had witnessed the shooting and he was placed under arrest. George Kekenes, son of Pano Kekenes, who refused to tell about the shooting at first was also arrested and later told the story. One other man, who was claimed to have disposed of the revolver was arrested, but later released as it was proven he did not have anything to do with it. Jones was taken to the Georgia Infirmary while the officers were making the arrests, in the police ambulance. He never lost consciousness. An operation was performed shortly after he had reached the hospital but not before Chief Detective Murphy had talked to him. Jones said he was the son of Mr. William Jones of Ravenel, S. C.. He said he had been in Suyannah some time and was employed until recently by the Forest Milling Company. He died Thursday. Cuyler Street School Health Meeting On Sunday, March 28th, at 3:30 p. m., the Cuyler Street school will render the following program at its health mass meeting to be held at the First African Baptist Church, Franklyn square: First.

Fourth, "The Dentists' Viewpoint," Dr. A. R. Ferebee. Sixth. "Our Course in Sanitation at Cuyler School." Superintendent Ashmore. Seventh. "The White Man's Home and Negro Health." Rabbi George Solomon. Eighth. "The Negro Minister's Part in the Fight." Rev. J. L. Taylor. The English-Industrial department will present choruses of 300 voices with violin accompaniment which will no doubt be a highly enjoyable part of the program. Friends of Negro uplift are cordially invited to be present. Negro Death Rate Declining HOME OWNERSHIP IMPORTANT FACTOR A Decrease in Death Rates of 3.4 Per Cent for Registrated Area From 1900 to 1910. Washington, D. C. March 12. The bulletin on Negroes in the United States to be issued about March 20, by William J. Harris, Director of the Census, Department of Commerce, will contain for the first time a statement regarding mortality among Negroes. All previous census publications have given statistics for the total colored population, in which was included the Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and other nonwhites. The data will be shown for the registration area of the United States, the registration states and certain selected cities. The Negro population of the area was 19.7 per cent of the total number of Negroes in the United States in 1910 and the deaths numbered 49,499, with a death rate of 25.5 per 1,000, population—a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4. The selected cities shown are in 57 registration cities which had, in 1910, a Negro population of 2,500 or more, for which comparable data are available in 1000. In the 57 cities included in the table the death rate among Negroes in 1910 was 27.8 and that among whites 15.9 per 1,000, the rate among the Negroes being nearly twice as great as that for the whites. In the 33 Northern cities the death rate among Negroes was 25.1 and that among whites 15.7 per 1,000, while in 24 Southern cities, the difference between the races in respect to death rate also being greater in the South. Both Negroes and whites show decrease in death rate in 1910 as compared with 1900, when the 57 cities are considered in the aggregate, the decline, of the Negroes being 3.4 and for whites 2.5 per 1,000 population. Every city in the.South, except Key West, Fla., and Memphis, Tenn., show a lower death rate for Negroes in 1910 than in 1910; the increase in Key West was only 0.2, while in Memphis is' was 3.9, per 1,000. The general tendency appears to be in the direction of a declining death rate for Negroes in registrated cities, the decrease being somewhat greater for Negroes than for whites; as a result, the difference between the death rate for Negroes and for whites in these cities was not as great in 1910 as a decade earlier. It is shown that deaths among Negroes, as compared with whites are relatively more numerous for malaria, tuberculosis of the lungs, other forms of tuberculosis, phumonia and whooping cough; while for measles, scarlet fever, diptheria, cancer, appendicitis, diarrhea, and violent deaths (including suicide) the destruction is noticeably higher among the whites. In other cases the differences in the percentage is slight. Ownership of Homes The question as to whether the decrease in mortality among Negroes in 1910 as compared with 1900 was due to permanent causes, such as improved housing conditions, better medical attention, and in general improved sanitary conditions, and not to the absence of epidemics, in an important and interesting one. Undoubtedly one of the factors which has caused the decrease in the death rate—which decrease is almost universal in the cities of the South—is the increase in home ownership among the Negro population. The ownership of homes data for the Northern states and cities is not available, and what is presented here relates only to the South. In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the number of home owned by Negroes in the Southern states increased by 102,912 or 31.4 per cent; this increase covering increase in farm homes of 30,449, or 16.7 per cent, and in other homes 72,463, or 48.8 per cent, as shown which presents the number of owned homes in 1910, the Morehouse College Items Atlanta, Ga—Morehouse had some very distinguished visitors last week. Among the number were Dr. Brink, superintendent of the American Baptist Home Mission school; Mr. Carabrant, of New York City and Dr. Morehouse, the corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York Mr. Brink, a very strong man, is taking the place left vacant by the death of Dr. Sale. Mr. Carabrant is a member of the Home Mission board. Dr. Morehouse has not been to the school since 1910. On his visit he helped to select the site for Sale Hall; now he comes while the school is again preparing to erect another new building. Dr Morehouse, now eighty, has served the Home Mission Society for more than thirty years and has put his whole life into the work. When he marched into the chapel last Friday morning the students gave him the greatest ovation that they have ever given to any one. Morehouse received its name from Dr. Morehouse. Addresses were delivered by each of the visitors. Several ministers from the city were out to greet Dr. Morehouse. Among the number were, Rev. Strickland, Rev. Young, Dr. E. R. Carter, Rev. Hughes, Rev. Floyd, Freeman and Lowe. The athletic concert last Friday night was without doubt the best entertainment that has been given this year at the college and an appreciative audience was present. The athletic association is indebted to Spelman for the talent that she furnished in the rendition of the program. In the first game of the season Morehouse Tigers met Clark University, Saturday March 13th and defeated her by a score of 11 to 5. At 3:30 p. m., Mr. Brink of New York pitched the first ball across the plate signifying that the season of 1915 was on, and then the fire-works began. The Morehouse team hit the ball hard from the beginning and gained enough runs in the first two innings to decide the contest. Scoring was renewed in the fifth and continued in the remaining sessions. Both teams played good ball. The Morehouse nine shattered Clark's hopes of scoring several times, when the bases were crowded, by pulling off double plays. Fisher and Robinson made a fine showing in their initial appearance for Morehouse. Score by innings: R H I E Clark .....000 300 120 5 7 3 Morehouse 150 031 01x 11 11 3 Summary—two base hit Brock; three base hit, Lewis; home runs Turner and McKay. Batteries—Clark: Butler, Bellinger and Mc Allister: Morehouse: Robinson, Kennedy: Fisher and Wynne. Curators Carnegie Library Elected At the regular meeting of City Council on Wednesday night last, the old board of curators of the Carnegie Colored Library was elected as follows: A. L. Tucker, F. S. Delcher, M. D. E. E. DeVerney, Prof. H. Pearson, Sol. C. Johnson, D. J. Scott, Geo. W. Jacobs. The two new members elected are Prof. R. R. Wright and Prof. John McIntosh. They are filling the vacancies of Dr. J. H. Bugg and Chus. A. R. McDowell. --- increase during the decade, 1900 to 1910, and also the number of Negro inhabitants to 1 own home for each of the Southern states. In urban property is shown a gain of one half, or 49.8 per cent, in owned city homes. This increase in home ownership may be supposed to have brought with it better housing conditions. The table gives the number of Negro inhabitants to 1 owned home for each of the registration cities, in the Southern states, having 5,000 or more Negro population. The table gives also the death rate for 1910, and when available for 1900, with the decrease or increase in the death rate. In the case of those cities in which the decrease has been most marked, the proportion of owned homes is higher and it is reasonable to suppose that home ownership has been an important factor in reducing the mortality. NUMBER 26 Under Urban League At Headquarters, St. Augustine Hall, West Broad and Gwinnett Lane—Much Interest Being Manifested in the Movement—Many Prominent Speakers to Address Gathering. National Negro health week March 21-28, a movement started by the National Negro Business League and a few allied organizations, will be observed in this city with meetings under the auspices of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes.

One of the largest and most representative crowds of women ever assembled here was that of last Sunday afternoon at St. Philip church, when a platform meeting in behalf of girls and young women was held. Mrs. George S. Williams was mistress of ceremonies and Mrs. Louise Malone-Braxton, of Alabama, was one of the principal speakers. The program in entirety was excellent and was much enjoyed by the large audience which packed the colffice. Not only was the meeting a matter of inspiration to the ladies but also to the large number of men present. A Summary of Spring Tendencies Fabrics for the Suit, Waist and Afternoon Frocks MULL POKE BONNETS New York, March 18.—The buyers have returned from Paris. Almost all the Parisian dressmakers held their openings, and the buyers bought their models and hurried them to the steamers to get them well on their way before the maritime blocade should be enforced. The New York openings occur immediately after the Parisian openings, merely giving the buyers and their booty a chance to arrive. A brief summary of what is shown from Paris in our openings here in New York are: Skirts are short and full,coats are long, three-quarter and very short. Narrow lower skirt sections are placed beneath the wide overskirt which almost covers this lower section which is often of chiffon or lace—an odd but effective feature of summer modes. Simplicity is the marked tendency in all these new gowns. The colors are less vivid, and in a crude khaki, heige, sand and the numerous plum colors. The high waistline and the normal one has taken the place of the moyen age line in many of the models, although the long line is often expressed in the girdle which comes down over the hips. The short round, and pointed basques are combined with the fluffy, frilled skirts. In my illustration is shown a dress made of striped taffeta. The short waist is round, with a slight point directly in the front. The square Callot neck is a very much more becoming line at the neck than the straight Dutch or round neck. The full skirt is especially attractive and "summery" with ruf- MCCALL The New Basque Waist and Fulled Skirt. fles, which dip in the front and back, and are about knee-length at the sides. For some time the corset-makers have been making their corsets to curve in a little at the sides, and give the slightly small waist effect, and then they added a little to the height of the corset and added inserts of elastic to their backs and fronts. Some of the very newest models which are being sent to try the market are undoubtedly pinching the fronts a trifle. It is hard to tell whether this is a forerunner of what we may expect in small waist, or merely a compromise in order to take care of such a contingency if it should suddenly come upon us. Parisian sketches show a strong tendency toward straight girdles, which are worn at a normal waistline. These are more becoming to the waist that is "nipped" in a trifle than the one which is up and down. The dainty muslin frocks, which are already being made for summer, have three-inch belts of black velvet ribbon. The high collar is very smart, but Paris has swerved a trifle from her allegiance to it and is wearing one which is high in the back and open in the front. One very pretty collar which I noticed was a straight band of batiste buttoned in front with tiny buttons, and, around the top, four triangular pieces of the same edged with narrow lace overlapping one another around th neck and falling over the high, boned band. Lace and taffeta are combined a great deal for afternoon frocks. One charming dress of taffeta is four yards wide at the hem. The waist is tight, and from the waistline begins a band of the same color, which winds in spiral effect around the hips and down—down © MCCAIL Embroidered Crepe Accentuates the Beauty of Simple Lines. to the hem, getting wider at each turn. The suits being strictly tailored in their style require suitable materials. Serge, gabardine, gabardine voile, which is the lightest weight fabric called grosgrain serge are among the smartest materials shown, as well as the most serviceable. Linens in bright stripes, almost like the awning stripes of a year ago, very smart for waists and novelty suits. Chiffon, voile, organdy and handkerchief linen are the fabrics which are used mostly for the season's blouses, which are, of course, very popular oiwng to the tailored suits. Silks come in serge and coverts and are more than charming. The serge, of course, reminds one very forcefully of grosgrain in a finer quality, but the covert is in deed a new departure and beautiful in its texture. A new 'satin called Georgette satin from its originator is being used a great deal for hats. It is a closely woven satin, and comes in black, tan and mulberry, with ribbons to match. Speaking of ribbons and ribbon velvets, there are beautiful flowered ribbons of all widths, checks that beggar description and velvet woven with checked backs, all very gay and brilliant to go with the light clothes that are to have great popularity this season, and so the wheel of fashion and those of the factories go on and on forever. For the frocks for warm weather there are quantities of voile and crepes, in plain colors and figured, which are stunning. In the illustration is a white crepe dress with an embroidered design in white, which marks the frabric off into diamonds. The symplicity of style by which it is developed is charming, indeed. The waist is round and full with a narrow round yoke of lace. The three-quarter sleeves are finished with a frill of lace. The plain full skirt is finished at the bottom with a wide flouncing of crepe with a design which matches the material. The material for summer dresses are made with borders of color, and stripes and bars of embroidery on the plain white fabrics. There are embroidered flouncings of sheer, crepe as well as narrow widths. Voile and marquisette are also used for foundation of embroideries. Mull, embroidered with simple buttonholed edge in blue and other colors, is used to make and to trim the charming period hats, poke-bonnets and quaint, old-fashioned leghorns, which are the novelties in millinery for summer. The hats of tulle and chiffon with transparent brims are very smart and decidedly attractive. I saw one not long ago of tulle with a pleated crown and a brim of the tulle doubled. Particularly chic was the placing of the trimming, which consisted of two back quills running in opposite directions. Another stunning hat of tulle, chiffon, or black lace has a brim which is really a ruffle. The hats are really stunning and are widely different, suited to many types. There is the small hat, the turban and the large pictuesque hat, usually of leghorn, and faced with a bit of figured chiffon or cretonne. TABLET UNVEILED TO HARRIET TUBMAN. A tablet in honor of the late Harriet Tubman, of the Underground Railroad fame, was recertainly unveiled at Auburn N. Y. About it the African Missionary says: "The unveiling of this tablet was the occasion of elaborate ceremony, and high honor was paid to the heroic colored woman who served her people so well in the time of the Civil War. "Aunt Harriet"—as she was called—was born one of eleven children, about 1820, on the eastern shore of Maryland. When she was six years old she was hired out in service, which proved to be very bitter in such tasks as her slave owner decreed. He was a hard master, and the young girl as she grew up was not a willing slave. This meant the whipping post, so cruel, and beating so unmerciful that she determined to make a run for freedom. Scantily clad, without money or friend, but with sharp wits, she succeeded. Uneducated, a stranger to all that goes to make character-building, her native powers evolved a strong character. As soon as she was a grown woman her heart yearned for those who were in bondage like that from which she had happily escaped. She soon found herself an active agent in the "underground railway" and kept her work of rescue going until the Civil War came, and the generals of the Northern forces when she appeared to them as a nurse and a spy in the Civil War recognized her shrewdness and ability. In this she showed wonderful courage and heroism, often risking her life while a reward of $10,000 was standing for her capture. Her self-denying heroism became well known to the citizens of Auburn, N. Y., where she had made her home, and after freedom came and the joy of her heart, in the emancipation of her race, "Aunt Harriet" was an honored character in Auburn. When she had passed away at the age of 93 years, the people of Auburn were proud to keep her in memory. The tablet was placed in the County Court House to be a lasting monument to her memory." Said Fx-Mavor Alken in presenting the tablet, "There have been few monuments erected to slaves, and very few to the memory of Negroes, and I believe but one to a Negro woman and a slave, but Auburn is erecting this tablet and it is with a feeling of pride that we unveil it." Mayor Brister remarked: "History teaches us that the attribute of courage and the conviction of duty toward humanity have very little regard for race, creed or color, that great crises always develop great leaders to conduct the people through the Red sea of their difficulties. In accepting this tablet to-day the city of Auburn recognizes the merit of her to whose memory it is dedicated. In accepting this tablet we reaffirm in a public way our belief that in the fullness of time character shall be measured by its true standard irrespective of its origin or its surroundings. Not because the subject of this memorial was a woman, nor because she was black, is this tribute tendered, but rather to commemorate the inherent greatness of her character." Appropriately, Dr. Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker of the occasion. Among other things Dr. Washington said: "In behalf of the race to which I belong, I wish to express my great gratitude to the Auburn Business Men's Association and the Cayuga County Historical Society, and citizens of Auburn for their generosity and liberality in honoring the memory of one of the great members of the Negro race, by placing this beautiful and fitting tablet in one of your public buildings. It is most fitting and proper from every point of view that the name of Harriet Tubman should be perpetuated by means of this tablet so that her memory and deeds can live in the minds and hearts of the present generation, and can be held up as an object lesson for all times to the generations that follow. THE BEST PLACE In Savannah FOR MEN'S GOOD SHOES Prices $3.50 up B. H. Levy Bro. & Co. "Harreit Tubman was a unique and great character of which any race and any age should be proud Here in the city where she spent the larger part of her life, and her body rests, is the place of all places where this tribute of love and affection should be expressed. The citizens of Auburn had a chance to know her better than the citizens of any other community. Indeed, she was a prophet without honor in her own home. "The people of western New York have gone beyond the people of any other section of our country in honoring the great characters of our race. Not far from here, in the beautiful city of Rochester, stands a monument erected to the great leader of our race, Frederick Douglass, and here, in this city you are placing this memorial tablet to honor another great character of our race. No section of our country is richer in great heroic souls who believe in liberty for all the people, than is true of Western New York. As I speak to you tonight, I cannot forget that here lived the great Secretary of State who stood by Abraham Lincoln—William H. Seward. In this section lived Susan B. Anthony. This region was the home for a long period of Frederick Douglass, and here, as I have said, was the home of Harriet Tubman. We need not limit, however, the names of the truly useful and great characters to those who have passed away. As I speak tonight, I cannot forget that near this same community lives in the person of Miss Emily Howland, a woman who through her generosity and interest in all that concerns my race, has endeared herself to this and future generations. Indeed these characters have blazed the way and have made the work of those who are left behind much easier than it otherwise would have been. You, then, should count yourself rich in the possession of the memory of so many great souls who have done their part in bringing freedom and prosperity and union to our country.

These you know better than I. Hers was a simple life, a simple mind. Without thought of ambition or praise or glory, she devoted herself to doing her duty as she saw it. There is great power in simplicity. There is no limit to the good that one soul that is really in earnest can accomplish. In in earnest can accomplish. In her simplicity, her modesty, her common-sense, her devotion to duty, she has left herself for an example which those in the present generation of all races might strive to emulate. "In the ten millions of black people scattered throughout this country, there are many great souls, heroic souls, that the white race does not know about. Harrite Tubman brought the two races nearer together and made it possible for the white race to know the black race, to place a different estimate upon it. In too many sections of our country the white man knows a criminal Negro, but he knows little about the law-abiding Negro; he knows much of the worst types of our race, he does not know enough of the best type of our race."

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second-class Mail Matter. Saturday March 20th 1915 At no more propitious time could the National Negro Business League and the allied bodies have suggested the holding of a Negro health week celebration than this month, judging from the great amount of sickness which has been experienced in this city during the past fall and winter, and we are inclined to believe that what is true of Savannah is likewise true of other Southern towns. Not that conditions here have been worse this year than in the past, but because the amount of sickness in the community is apparently greater during the period of the year mentioned than at others makes the time selected by those in charge of health week very opportune. There in no subject which should so appeal to Negroes as one which treats of the physical condition of the human body. There are no people who should have the wholesome and sanitary methods of proper living more drilled into them than our people. We need all of the advice which can be given us as to the proper way of keeping soul and body together. We need good health, excellent health, to combat successfully the many problems which confront us in our struggle for existence. No more far reaching movement than health week could have been conceived by Dr. Booker T. Washington and those who are associated with him in this effort to better the physical condition of the race by disseminating literature bearing on health and exhorting the leaders of the race throughout the country to awaken the Negro to the fact that he is both dleing too rapidly and payout too much of his meager earnings in doctor's bills, a condition which is in many instances caused by ignorance or intemperance of habit. In this city there are many angles from which the subject of health might be handled and proper information given the people which will be of invaluable service to them. Among them is the willingness and frequency with which our people give themselves over to quack or root doctors whenever ill. It is indeed one point of attack which needs immediate attention and if the observance of health week in this community did nothing more than point out to the unsuspecting Negroes who frequent quacks in their time of illness the fact that they are nothing more nor less than a body of beats, illegal practitioners, a menace to the community, and in many instances murderers in the broadest sense of the word, the celebration here would be well worth the time and effort which are being expended in the preparation for the movement. That advertising is the life of business and by it alone can one's business be brought properly before the people is demonstrated conclusively by the amount of newspaper space taken by the largest and most successful business concerns throughout the country. We do not say this in order that The Tribune's advertising space may be taken, but because it is a fact recognized by successful business men both big and little. In order for modity he has to sell must be brought modity h has to sell must be brought to public attention through the medium of advertising in some form and the form most universally adopted has been the newspaper. Negro merchants general must realize this fact if they hope to make any appreciable progress. It is one thing for one to have a well stocked store with the public in utter darkness as to the commodity on sale and another to advertise to the world the fact that you are operating a store with the very necessities or luxuries that everybody is looking for. The Negro business man must learn the art of advertising. It is the life of business and without it failure is inevitable. Attractive "ads" mean increased business, prosperity and success, providing of course the goods sold meet the quality demanded by the public. The day is far past when the old and antiquated phrase "because I am a Negro" will sell goods for our business men. Sympathy was good in this day and it played its part well and long but the time is now at hand when the Negro merchant must expect his business to grow not because he is a Negro but because he carries the goods which the public wishes and knows how to advertise. This is an age of values in which the buyer is looking for his "money's worth" in every sense of the word and it is up to the Negro business man to demonstrate his willingness and desire to carry out this demand on the part of the public. EDITORIAL NOTES For more than a year playgrounds have been inaugurated and successfully conducted in several parts of the city for white children only. This is done by the city under its supervision. Not a single playground has been provided for our children, and nothing is being said about doing so. Recently this matter was taken up by the Urban League and a committee has been appointed to confer with the authorities. It is needless to state the necessity for the establishing of several playgrounds for colored children. Such places are needed more so by them than any other class of children. National Health Week will be observed by our people in many places next week During the week four meetings will be held Our people should evince much interest in these meetings by attending them. At this season of the year many of the churches are conducting revival services. These services are always helpful. They tend to quicken the interest of the old members, reclaim many who have fallen from grace and "following far off," and gathering unbelievers to the fold. No doubt that there will be hundreds to connect themselves with the various churches. Generally when these meetings terminate the interest lags and many of the new members are allowed to drift with the tide. Every effort should be made to retain their interest and to do so it requires practical work on the part of the pastors and officers. The mission of the Church is to give effective service, and not only pointing the way to the Cross, but of right living and the engaging in social service work. The church and its members should become more interested in the work of the betterment of the community regardless of denominational lines. To do this teaching and leading should be proper, and immediate hold should be kept especially on the new members that are being received. Every visitor to our city is loud in praising us about our beautiful city and its progressiveness. These commendations are made sincerely and those who have traveled to any exertit, too truly attest to the same. Our people should become more thoroughly convinced of this fact and arouse themselves in taking advantage of many golden opportunities that are surrounding them. Each day we are walking over veritable gold mines, the only thing needed is development. The business that is now being given to others should be handled by our own men and the property that is being developed by others, we should have a share. Our men should have a greater vision of these vast opportunities and not allow them to slip. Tomorrow every pastor in the city should deliver a prayer for the success of Health Week and deliver a sermon on the same. The conserving of the health of our people means much to us as a race. Lawlessness begets lawlessness and it spreads regardless of the race of the victim. For years white men of this state have been lynching and otherwise mistreating our people. They are receiving one form of retribution. Nearly every day accounts are of the killing among themselves and many of them are horrible indeed. "Vengeance is mine" says Holy Writ. We have full belief in it, and holder states for every unlawful act committed against our people, the perpetrator or their progenies will pay the penalty. --- The Tribune commends heartily the inspiration meeting meeting held by our ladies at St. Philip A. M E Church last Sunday afternoon. Much good will result there from. At intervals such meetings should be here Rev. Reed Meeting With Success Rev. D. A. Reed, D. D., who was called only a few months ago to the pastorate of the 17th Street Baptist Church, Anniston, Ala., is having wonderful success with his work. Like Dr. G. B. Howard he is a graduate of the old Richmond Theological Seminary. He is well prepared for his work and is a great influence for good in his community. Dr. Reed came to Anniston from Savannah, Ga., where he had been pastor of the Second Baptist Church. He succeeds Dr. J. H. Eason at Anniston, Ala. His accomplishments with his church in Anniston seems marvelous. We congratulate Dr. Reed and the church of which he is pastor and wish for them many years of labor and success in the Master's field together.—Colored Alabamian. Concert for X. M.

The report states that the causes of this movement are fundamentally economic and social, and declares that the tendency is toward a large, permanent, Negro urban population. The study shows, also, what is commonly observed, that the tendency in large cities especially is for the Negro population to collect in separate neighborhoods, where the problem growing out of the change from rural to urban life becomes acute. The purpose of this National League is to help counteract the migration of the Negroes to the cities, and to improve conditions among those who are drawn into urban life. During the year the organization has done a good deal of valuable work in these directions. Especially significant are its efforts at co-operation with other societies having allied interests, the establishment of branches, especially in Southern cities, and the training of young colored men and women as social workers. The work reported from several cities where the league operates is particularly suggestive of what needs to be done in every city where there is a considerable number of Negroes. For instance, in New York, workers of various groups have been organized and their associations brought into line with the American Federation of Labor; conditions of employment have been looked into and assistance given in securing work; advice has been given to high school students as to possible lines of employment and the means by which preparation for these employments can be gained; opportunities for occupational training in night schools have been pointed out; traveler's-aid work has been conducted; an investigation of housing conditions in a Negro district has been made; and two playgrounds have been established, not to mention other important work. The Savannah league illustrates the application of the work of this organization to Southern conditions. During the Christmas season it raised, from the Negroes of that city, S522.10 for the purpose of supplying needy families with groceries, shoes and clothing. Forty-three families were furnished fuel from a fund distributed through the Associated Charities. A yard cleaning contest was held in connection with one of the city departments, and recreation was provided for the boys by the formation of a baseball league. Further successful, helpful activities of the league and its affiliated organizations North and South seem amply to justify its existence, and to invite co-operation with it wherever its work has been established. The men and women who are directing this work among urban Negroes include Mrs. William H. Baldwin, chairman of the executive board; Kelly Miller, of Howard University: R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute; L. Hollingsworth Wood, A. S. Frisself and Victor H. McCutcheon, all of New York; George Edmond Haynes, director, and Eugene Kinckle Jones, associate director. On the executive board there are able and fearless leaders men and women who are familiar with city conditions and ready to serve their fellow-men who are severely handicapped. Southern Workman.

Savannahians Commended Dear Editor: I want to express to you and the citizens of Savannah, through the column of your paper, my appreciation for the kindness extended me while in the city soliciting for the Russell Normal Industrial School of which I am founder and principal, located at Haynesville, Ala. I want to thank you from the depth of my heart for the many useful articles concerning my work which appeared in your paper from time to time while in the city. I assure you if I had not been for you I would not have been so successful. After leaving here I shall speak highly in praise of The Savannah Tribune. I want to thank the ministers of all churches also the citizens at large for their generous liberality towards my work. I have traveled all over the United States but failed to meet with members of my race who were more generous than the people of Savannah. We have here in Savannah generous and joyful men who believe in helping a good cause. My stay in Savannah has been pleasant to profitable. The course I travel and study the condition of our people the more I am inclined to move that our race appreciates a good man or woman who is honest and truthful and especially when he or she is trying to elevate the race. My visit to Savannah shall long be remembered. Wishing you continue success in your work, and thanking you and the citizens again or your kindness. Mr. Lou Maline-Braxton, March 20th, 1915 SMALL, "n" IN NEGRO OFFENSIVE. The negro race has made tremendous progress in fifty years. Its leaders are urging their people to earn the respect of the white race by honest effort, and to use their care against giving offense. Everybody's Magazine would not wittingly hurt their cause or halt their progress by giving offense. Will others of our friends in the South, or elsewhere, be good enough to tell us whether or not we gave real cause for offense when we call a negro "Mr."?—Every body's Magazine. Now let "Everybody's" capitalize the word "Negro," and the offense given in publishing it with a small "n" will be discontinued. We feel it will join a number of other leading daily papers and magazines, principally in the East, that are doing so, and willingly, too.—Gazette.

The deacon board of the First African Baptist Church being highly elated over the peaceful and harmonious manner with which nearly 1,500 members of the church assembled in conference on last Sunday, in obedience to a resolution passed by the church at its regular monthly conference held Monday night, February 22, 1915, and called a pastor to their charge, requests that an abstract of their proceedings of the meeting, in which the recommendation for a pastor was made, be published through the columns of The Savannah Tribune. The church has been without a pastor for seventeen months during which time the deacons handled the affairs very successfully, both spiritually and temporally, with the aid of ministers invited to supply their pulpit on preaching services, and communion. "We, the deacons, whom you have chosen from among you to be your leaders, having surveyed the field of Baptist ministers in our state and other states, considering the the many applications submitted to us, accompanied with worthy recommendations, and having heard some of them preach most acceptably from the pulpit, heg to recommend one, whose ministerial ability, wholesome deportment Broughton St. Goods at West Broad St Prices Scott We Have Some of the Things Everybody Uses BROTHERS SPECIAL OFFER FOR CASH American Beauty Corset Her Majesty Corset 87c Numbers 474 and S B Corsets 45c AMERICAN BEAUTY ST.

T. Jefferson Goodall, of Jackson, Tenn., now pastor of Berean Baptist Church. In submitting the above recommendation for your consideration, we do so to the best of our ability and knowledge, through the guidance of the holy ghost, and trust that peace, sweet peace and harmony will crown our efforts in token of the hand work of Him, who is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Humbly submitted for your consideration. THE DEACONS' BOARD Thos. R. Williams, chairman and moderator Attest: W. G. Williams, St. Philip Church The great revival that opened at St. Philip on Sunday March 7th, has been crowned with success during the past ten days. Over one hundred persons have been brought to Christ. The meeting will continue until further notice. Rev. Singleton has been assisted by some well known ministers, among them Rev. Geo. W. McLamore, the evangelist. Our members must not forget their pledges for March. The women's platform meeting at the church on Sunday afternoon was attended by a large number. The following services will be held on Sunday prayer meeting at 5 a.m. preaching at 11 a.m. Sunday school at 3 p.m. A. C. E. League at 7 p.m. preaching at 8:15 p.m., revival services all of the week, everybody is invited. . St. Benedict's Church. Tomorrow, March 21st, is Passion Sunday. From this day until Easter Sunday the church gives herself entirely up to the meditation of the Passion of our divine Lord. In all our churches and chapels the crucifixes are covered with a veil in remembrance that Jesus Christ, from this time until His triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, walked no more publicly among the Jews. By order of Right Rev. Keiley, bishop of Savannah, special services will be held on Passion Sunday in all the Catholic churches of the diocese, to comply with the decree of the Pope, asking solemn public prayers for a speedy peace. At the sight of a war which destroys so many valuable lives and bring misery to families and cities, our Holy Father the Pope, Benedict XV, exhorts the clergy and the faithful of the world to work for piety and mortification in expiration of sins which have called down upon the nations the Tomorrow, therefore, in St. Benedict's Church the blessed sacrament will be exposed after the late mass. It will remain exposed until the evening at 9 p. m. At the evening service, the Rosary will be recited, to be followed by the prayer composed by the Holy Father, then the Litany of the Saints will be sung by the clergy. After prayer benediction of the most blessed sacrament. All the members are earnestly requested to attend the services, to go to confession and holy communion and unite their prayers with all their brethren of the world, that God may be pleased to give to His servants that peace which the world cannot give. On Easter Monday April 5th, St. Mary's school will present its annual Easter exercises. Another festival will be given on Monday April 12th at St. Mary's hall for the benefit of St. Benedict's Church. All members and friends are cordially invited to attend these two festivals, admission 20 cents. Next Wednesday at 8 p. m. Rev. Father Laurence O. S. B., of the Sacred Heart College, will preach and conduct the evening service. Stations of the cross, Friday at 8 p. m. Asbury Church. Seekers, after God and His righteousness are urged to attend the revival at Asbury Church. Rev. P. H. Travis, D. D., is conducting the meeting with delightful success. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday in its usual weekly meeting with Rev. J. S. Stripling, presiding. Devotional service was conducted by the chaplain, Rev. J. O. Iverson. After singing, the 11th Psalter was read. Rev. P. H. Travis, of the M. E. Church and pastor of Fairville, Ga., visited the union and made a short address, Rev. J. O. Iverson read a paper, subject, "The best method to conduct revivals" A letter from the Urban League asking for co-operation in the National Health week was read and every member was asked to give the mattery publicit through his pulpit. Next Tuesday will be sermonic report, visiting ministers always welcome. F. B. B. Church On Sunday night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalm 5, his text was from Kings 2:12. The beautiful friendship of Elijah and Elisiah was most eloquently explained. The choir sang "For He knoweth". Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight". Many accepted his earnest invitation and bowed at the mercy-seat for prayer. The exercises of the B. Y. P. U. were very interesting. After the duett, "Do something for somebody every day." had been sung by Mrs. Rosa E. Stevens and Miss Della Hemby, the lesson was very plainly discussed by Rev. Green. The Sunday school is putting on new life, all are busy rehearsing for the approaching Easter exercises. We are always anxious to have visitors at our services. Lesson XIII.—First Quarter, For March 28, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Neh. ix, 26-31. Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Prov. xiv, 34—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—God's Patience With Israel, Judg. II, 7-19. Golden Text, Ho-ea xiv, 4, "I will heal their backsiding; I will love them freely." God did everything for Israel that infinite love could do and asks so pathetically in Isa. v. 4. "What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it?" He asked only that they make no league with the inhabitants of the land, who were all idolaters, but keep themselves wholly for Him. Lessov II.—Deborah and Barak Deliver Israel, Judg. iv. 4-16. Golden Text, Ps. xxviv. 17. "The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard and delivered them out of all their troubles." It is the same story over and over again—the sinned, the enemy oppressed, they cried to the Lord, and He delivered them. This time He uses a woman, but a man went along who would not have gone without Deborah. "LESSON 111-The Call of Gideon, Judg. vi. 11-16, 22-10 Golden Text, Ps. iv. 4. "Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest." Now the oppressors are the Mutilates, and the oppression is very severe—so great that if a little grain is to be kept for one's own use it must be thrashed in secret, Gideon while thus occupied is visited by the Loud voice 11 and called to be the deliverer strengthened by the assurance that the one who sent him would be surely with him overse 14-16. LESSON IV.-Gidon and the Three Hundred. Judg. vii, 18, 1623. Golden Text, Zech. iv, 6. "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts." The sifting of an army of 32,000 down to 300 because all the test were afraid or loved their own comfort was a very unusual proceeding and suggests the question. How many professed followers of Christ today are ready wholly to renounce self and follow Him fully? LESSON V.-The Birth of Samson, Judg. xiii. 8-16, 24. 26. Golden Text, Judg. xiii. 4. "Beware. I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink." This was the longest and in some respects the worst of all the oppressions, forty years under the Philistines, but again the Lord delivered. Again the Lord came personally to talk with the human agents, this time to visit her who was to be the mother of the deliverer and tell her the manner of the man. LESSON VI.—Ruth Chooses the True God, Ruth I, 618. Golden Text, Ruth I, 16. "Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God." All the deliverers were in a measure typical of the great Deliverer, but this is the story of one who came into the direct line of our Lord's human ancestry. By the overruling of human failure this devoted Gentile plays a wonderful part in the great drama of history, the heart of which I His story. LESSON VIII.--Samuel Called to Be a Prophet.1 Sam. iii. 13, 19, 20. Gold en Text. 1 Sam. iii. 9. "Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant heareth." The quarter's lessons seem to be wholly on the line of the Lord "delivering or preparing or calling the deliverer." Now it is a broken hearted, persecuted woman who is called to be the mother of the deliverer, and her song or prayer is very similar to that of Mary in Luke.1. LESSON VIII.—The Death of Eli and His Sons, 1 Sam. iv, 1-13, 18. Golden Text, Jas. i. 2. "Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding your own selves." Poor old Eli was in a measure out of fellowship, and God had to speak to him through Samuel. The elders also were out of fellowship and relied upon the ark rather than upon the Lord, so that the Lord humiliated them by allowing the ark to be taken, Israel defeated, Eli's sons slain. LESSON IX.—Samuel, the Victorious Leader, I Sam. vill. 3-17. Golden Text, I Sam. vill. 12. "Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us." After Samuel returned to Ramah, his birthplace, which he seems to have done after Elf's death and the loss of the ark, he led Israel back to the Lord in penitence and devotion and so defeated the Philistines that they came no more into the coast of Israel all the days of Samuel. Lessox, X.—Saul Anointed King. I Sam. ix. 17; x. 1. Golden Text. I Pet. ii. 17. "Fear God; honor the King." That which God had foreseen now comes to pass, and the people demand of Samuel a king (Deut. xvll. 14). Samuel felt greatly hurt, but committed all to the Lord and was told to grant them a king, but under protest. Then the Lord sent him the man and afterward controlled the lot so that the people elected him. Lessox Xl.—Saul Gains His Kingdom. I Sam. xl. Golden Text. Prov. xvll. 32. "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city." The Lord gave Saul a victory over the Ammonites and thus the esteem of the people. He also gave Saul victory over his own spirit so that he could forgive his enemies (x. 27; xl. 13). Lessox XII.—Jonathan and His Armor Beurer. I Sam. xlv. 13. Golden Text. Horn. xlil. 12. "Let us put on the armor of light." Although uply two years of Saul's reign had expired, he already began to fail in obedience and was told that his kingdom could not continue.

DELL'S CREAM for twenty-three arts health and marks of Time, arks, discourages النور والنقابة النور والنقابة Now that the spring season is on and the time fastly approaches when the thoughtless ones among us will be inclined to sacrifice good jobs, valuable time and waste our hard earned cash in what we are pleased to call a good time, in trolly rides and steamboat excursions. Lesson Learned from European War Early in the fall of 1914, the entire European countries became involved in the most drastic warfare known to modern civilization, which caused all of the neutral countries, our own included, to feel greatly the effects of the general business depression, which follow in the wake of bloodshed and carnage. As a result of these squally times, the laboring man who was absolutely dependent upon his own strong arm for food, shelter and clothing, not only for himself but for a dependent wife and helpless children, as well, has no doubt learned certain lessons which in all possibility will be of great service to him during future years. Stories of the Past Fall and Winter During the past fall and winter, many of our hard working and industrious laboring men were thrown out of employment altogether or given an opportunity to eke out an existence on half time. These unfavorable and unsatisfactory conditions, as you know, were brought about because of the fact that the entire world, with the exception of a few neutral countries, was engaged in the popular pastime of killing a few thousand men daily, many of whom were the only support of large and growing families. Time for Thought and Action Now, that the spring has fairly opened up and this, our own country as a whole, is gradually adjusting itself to the unfavorable conditions which were brought upon us by the warring stations across the sea, and, toob, since the farmers who are the back bone of this, as well as all other countries are finding just a little better market for their crops than they had several months ago, and many of whom have decided that they would profit by some of their errors of the past, we, too, the wage earners, who depend entirely upon the jobs and positions opened up to us on public works and along the river front and on the Bay, should profit by the experiences which we have had, during the past seven months, and instead of sacrificing our good jobs for picnics, trolly rides and steam boat excursions, should stick to our employers and give to them each and every day an honest day's work for an honest dollar, and manage by all means to lay aside something against the rainy day which will come just as truly as day follows night. Wilful Waste Makes Woeful Want By taking the proper care of the means which pass through our hands during seasons of prosperity, we shall find ourselves much more able to stand the seasons of adversity, which inevitably come in the life and business career of every individual who attempts to do things worth while. Therefore, the Negro Business League in this letter presumes to request of the Negro ministry in this community, who are the recognized leaders of the people, and who will be perhaps for the next fifty or hundred years to come, to bring to the attention of our people how wasteful and short-sighted it is for us to continue to throw our good jobs and means away for trolly rides, picnics and steam boat excursions during the spring and summer season and then be in dire want for the proper shelter, food and clothing during the bleak days of winter. Work of Urban League Indispensable The writer together with a number of other gentlemen who, too, are members of the above named organization as well as being members of the Negro Business League, has contributed regularly and systematically to the upkeep of the Urban League whose object and aim are to improve the sanitary, housing and living conditions among our people, as well as to aid the deserving and unfortunate ones among us who may find themselves at times in straightened circumstances for fuel, food and med. Imposed Upon at Times. And, yet, this organization like all others of a similar nature, is imposed upon at times. Many of these whom this organization helped during the winter months, perhaps spent much of their time which is equivolent to money, and, indeed, the real money itself, at having a good time, and when the day of adversity came they found themselves in want and did not have. Ways by Which one may Save. In this city there are several high classed Negro insurance companies which were organized especially for relieving want and suffering by going to the rescue of their members during days of sickness and the sad hour of death. If many of our unfortunate ones who are a charge on the charitable organizations, could be taught the habit of systematically depositing a small pittance of ten or fifteen cents a week with some one of these well organized Negro industrial insurance companies, say just a portion of what is spent wastefully during the spring and summer months, at what is commonly called "having a good time," we as a race in this community, would have a different story to tell to the other fellow. Principles like these are what the Negro Business League stands for, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday nights of each month.
