NEGRO HEALTH WEEK PROGRAM ATTRACTED WIDE ATTENTION VOLUME XXX MASS MEETING TOMORROW AT F. A. B., CHURCH Local Negro Doctors Contribute Much to Success of Meetings— Several Prominent White Citizens Gave Their Assistance— Urban League's Headquarters Crowded Each Night. That the series of meetings held at the headquarters of the Urban League in the celebration of National Negro Health Week, the movement started by Dr. Booker T. Washington and observed this week throughout the southland, were a great success from every point of view and that much good will result from them is the opinion of every one who attended the three meetings held this week. At no time within the recollection of the oldest citizens has so much concern been manifested in the health of the race in this city as during the present week, and this interest was confined to no particular class of citizens. There have already been three meetings held, Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and at each night every available seat in the League's headquarters was taken. The hall in which the meetings were held was attractively fitted up by the ladies of the league, and the piano used was lent by the J. S. Banks Musical Company, Bull and State streets. Dr. Brunner and Bishop Reese were the principal speakers at the opening exercise of the week's program. The ceremonies also marked the opening of this recently renovated hall as the regular general headquarters of the League, this being the first meeting. Dr. Brunner said in part, "I told the delegates at the National Convention, comprising representatives from all over the U.S. and Canada, recently held in Jacksonville, that contrary to the general charge, the Negro is not a vagrant; he is a worker. He is not beset with the hookworm or germ of laziness; this is peculiarly the disease of the white people. I said that I took great pride in the fact that the Negroes of Savannah were particularly conscientious in co-operating to stamp out disease; of thirteen (13) cases of small pox reported to my office last summer only one was from among the Negroes and the sufferer reported it himself. Give the Negro a square deal and he is a winner." He said that the Savannah colored city physicians, from the appointment of the late Dr. S. P. Lloyd (as records will show) have been loyal, conscientious and thorough in the discharge of their duty and that the prospect to eliminate or dispense with them had been defeated by the records. He took great pride in the thrift and industry of the race as marked by the numerous thriving businesses on West Broad street, for he said, "The Wage Earners Bank would be a credit to any people of any race, any where." He said he thought the high thinking white people of Savannah did not know how well the Savannah Negro was doing. He discouraged the coming of great crowds of Negroes from the rural districts to the cities and urged his hearers to discourage the practice, saying that these new comers recruited the dens of vice, the ranks of the vagrant class and increased the disease and death rate. He discussed for some length the excessive infant mortality, saying it was due to quack mid-wifery, foul living conditions etc. The speech of Bishop Reese, was broad and liberal, highly interesting and sparkled with amusing and striking illustrations. He gave the following code of rules which, if complied with, would result in good health. (1) Keep clean; (2) Plenty of fresh air; (3) Good cooking; (4) Don't eat too much. Both speakers urged co-operation among all the people for mutual helpfulness and race advancement. The local Negro doctors' med- (Continued on last page) S. J. S.

PROMINENT NEW YORKERS STOP HERE J. W. Rutledge and J. Royal Rutledge Get a Glimpse of City Among the prominent visitors in the city this week were Mr. J. W. Rutledge and his son Mr. J. Royal Rutledge of New York City. The two gentlemen were only in the city for a short while but were very much impressed with the business activities of the race which they were able to observe. Mr. J. W. Rutledge who is a retired pensioned messenger of the First National bank of New York, which establishment he served for forty-seven years, was returning north from a visit to Woodbine station, Ga., his nativity, where he had not been since childhood. He is one of the substantial Negro citizens of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Rutledge is a man well preserved for his years and he was much impressed with his trip through the Southland. Mr. J. Royal Rutledge is now and has been for a score of years employed by the institution which his father served for so many years. He is note teller in that institution and is one of the few young men of the race holding such a position with white institutions. He is on a vacation and accompanied his father on the trip. Both gentlemen got a slight glimpse of the Negro business concerns on West Broad street, they being particularly impressed with the beautiful bank building of the Wage Earners. President Williams showed them through the $40,0000 building and both of them said it was the finest Negro banking institution they have ever seen. The gentlemen left the city midday Thursday for New York. To the Odd Fellows and Households A mass meeting under the auspices of the Athens Club will be held at Harris Street hall on Monday night March 29th.

The state barber examiners who have been in the city this week looking into the conditions of local shops closed thirty-five Negro shops Thursday, because they did not come up to the state requirements. Twenty of these shops were permitted to be reopened yesterday after having been reinspected by the examiners. An examination of all Negro barbers in Negro shops, who had not qualified under the law by paying their registration fee, was held at Perry Wright's shop, Wage Earners building, yesterday. Eighteen applicants were examined in the morning and three in the afternoon. The holding of the examination at Perry Wright's shop yesterday made that popular tonsorial parlor many times more so between the hours of nine in the morning and four in the afternoon. All manner of barbers presented themselves for the test. Some took it with that freedom of care and confidence which showed that they were quite sure of having "O. K." stamped upon their work while othiers nervous and worried manifested in their every move that they were scared almost unto death and feared the results. In a talk at Wright's shop with a representative of the Tribune, E. E. Limbaugh, chairman of the examiners, said he found conditions here similar to other places. He said that the examiners were going to see that the requirements of the state are met in all shops both white and colored and that the hole-in-the-wall shops must give way to clean, sanitary shops where the health of the patrons will not be menaced by the disease and germ laden conditions of the former. Mr. Limbaugh spoke very complimentary of several of the larger Negro shops and said that he was going to do all in his power to assist them to succeed, but that the dirty, ill kept, dingy places must go. So if you see the place closed in which you are accustomed to getting your tonsorial work done you will know the reason without even asking the proprietor. DR. SAM'L A. WARD DIES IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Former Savannahian Passes Away After Short Illness Dr. Samuel A. Ward, of Washington, D. C., died on Thursday of last week at his residence, 603 Tea street, N. W., after an illness of short duration. Dr. Ward will be remembered by the older citizens of this city, where he was born and reared. He was a product of the local public schools and after graduation finished his literary training at Atlanta University. He then studied medicine, finishing this course and subsequently practicing at Washington, D. C. He was for many years employed in the departmental work at Washington and was very well known there, where he was identified with many movements for the uplift of the race. Dr. Ward is survived by a wife and one son, both of Washington; two sisters, Mrs. Cecelia Grant and Mrs. Claudia Sykes of this city. Dr. Ward's many friends here will regret exceedingly to learn of his death. Special Notice All persons who can accommodate delegates of the Pythian Grand Lodge which meets in this city the second Tuesday in July, will kindly communicate with Dr. L. 'S. Parks, chairman of committee on homes, at 240 Barnard street or ring phone 1244 for information. Dr. L. S.

NEXT FRIDAYS MEETING WILL TELL School Children Anxiously-Await Result of the Meeting. Whether the hearts of the Negro school children of the city shall be made glad this year with the usual spring athletic meet in baseball park or whether they shall be given a bitter message of disappointment will be learned next Friday night when the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association meets at the headquarters of the Urban League. For the past three years the school children's annual spring athletic meet has been held and each year the occasion has been fraught with more success. Most of the men of the association, is believed, are in favor of holding the meet again this year and it is expected that Friday night's meeting will result in announcing to the kiddies that their hopes and desires are not to be crushed but that the biggest play festival in the history of the city will be pulled off this year. Georgia Complainants. The following complaints were taken up by the monthly board of the S. C. M. of Odd Fellows: The Board was called upon to devote considerable time upon going over a big batch of complaints from many members of the order in Georgia against certain practices of the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No.18. The complainants set forth grievances against the so-called "Eighteenth B. M. C. Movement," charging that great sums of money are being spent and members being taxed unlawfully in the scheme; against salaries of the district grand officers, charging that salaries have been doubled and new ones created by the executive committee contrary to law; against the misuse of the sinking fund and temporary endowment policies; against the deputy system and its burdensome expenses; against alleged unlawful expenditures of the Order's funds; against diverse reckless investments; and against an alleged unlawful "Industrial Commission." A rule was issued in the Exexecutive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18, to show cause in writing within 30 days why an order should not be entered by the Sub-Committee of Management directing District Grand Lodge to refrain from— (1) Holding so-called "division meetings; (2) Continuing and further organizing the so-called "Eighteenth B. M. C. Movement," and (3) Continuing the so-called "Industrial Commission."—Odd Fellows Journal. New Temple Organized.

NUMBER 27 BREAKERS SAVANNAH BOY MAKES GOOD IN BASEBALL "Polly" Mungin Setting Rapid Pace in Fast Company After an absence of eight years from the city, "Polly" Mungin, and by the way his real name is Samuel but the local ball fans all remember him as "Polly", is in town en route north from Palm Beach where he played this winter with the Breakers club which won the championship of Florida. Mungin blew into the town of his boyhood days on Wednesday of last week and his friends are all making his stay of a few weeks as delightful as possible. He is the leading exponent of the national game that this city has produced and his career in fast company of the East and West has attracted wide attention. He has played with the leading Negro teams of the country, his position being third base. With the argile and speedy William Frances, known throughout the East and West, he enjoys the distinction of being the best Negro third baseman in the country and of course we think "Polly" superior, but then we live in his home town. Mungin started his semi-professional career here with the celebrated Chathams and went from here to the Atlanta Deppins where he played the seasons of 1900 and 1905. From Atlanta the Chattanooga Giants got hold of him. The Brooklyn Royal Giants then heard of his fame and placed him in charge of third base. This marked his initial entrance into the fastest Negro company and "Polly" made good with a crash. For four seasons the Brooklyn organization presented him in their lineup after which the Philadelphia Giants secured his services, where he remained only one season, going from there to the St. Louis Giants and sending a thrill four seasons through the brains of the fans of the "Show me" state by his phenominal playing, and we are inclined to think that it might have been in one of the games in St. Louis when he won the hand of the lady who last year became Mrs. Samuel Mungin. Last year Mungin played with the famous Leland Giants of Chicago and this season he will be found with the Lincoln Stars of New York, the aggregation which Jno. Henry Lloyd will captain, the greatest Negro short stop the game has ever known. Mungin aside from playing with these leading teams, has been seen in the Cuban league, where last year he, Walter Ball and Petway were the only three Americans playing there, they being members of the renowned Fey team that put to route every thing on the island. Mungin is here shown in his Breakers uniform. He has also played in the winter for two seasons with the Royal Poinciana team of Florida.

The lodges will assemble at the Masonic Temple at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and will be escorted to the church by the uniform rank of the order, headed by the local K. of P. band. The courts and juvenile will meet at the church. The strength of the order in this city exceeds that of any other city in the state except Atlanta and when it is considered that the membership of the order in this state is more than a thousand above that of its nearest rival, for numerical strength, Texas, Savannah might well be proud of its position in the front ranks in the state. The local strength is as follows: Lodges, fifteen; membership 1,200; Courts twelve, membership 900; juveniles, eight, membership 200; total 2,300.

Ike Griffin, the leading welterweight of this section of the state, lost a ten round bout to Billy Love, of New Orleans . La., at the Flag Athletic club in Charleston, S. C., on Wednesday night. The bout was exceedingly fast, Griffin getting the better of every round and having his opponent groggy at several times. It seemed to be only a matter of the ending of the last round when the local man would have been given the "bacon" and another victory put to his credit, but in the final stages of the tenth round he hit his opponent while the latter was on the floor and the referee awarded the fight to Love. Griffin Will fight again on the 25th of next month in Memphis, Tenn., his opponent being George Cole. School Children's Race Association to Meet Friday Night.

The winter coat has been worn until one is tired of it, and besides on the first warm day it feels so heavy and drags about the neck, and we need something lighter to take its place. For the general wear with -the dress comes the coat in various styles. The model _ illustrated shows a new and very practical style in coats. In the back it is very full and falls into ripples while in front it has less fulness. A wide gauntlet cuff is used on the sleeves, and the high collar which flares up as the chin is unusually new and smart. The model is de- veloped in blue serge. Other fa- brics which are being used for such a coat are black and white checked coating, covert cloth, field cloth, gabardine, and for the fancy coat faille silk is used. ae . Fd : aa oS os he Rae RS v BS ic | Pe Has GN Rey Shey Pala ISNA as Rear ay Sea ee & BN. A Full Separate Coat with New Style Collar : Speaking of faille silk reminds me of an unusual model which was shown in one of the shops of oyster white faille. It was very full, back and front and the entire thing was edged with a wide band of black velvét. Of no less importance is the suit. The materials used are covert, serge, gabardine, voile gabardine which is a light weight fabric of the gabardine type, kha- ki or field cloth, grosgrain cloth, covert cord, tweed, or homespun. This suit this season shows a return to the strictly tailored type. Of course, the military style is highly popular. This is so named more because of placing of cord trimming and buttons than in the general cut, although there arc some that have a very pronounced niilitary cut, and with pockets and belts in the places accorded them by the mak- ers of British and French uni- forms. It is really strange how thoro- ly mixed are these military tend- encies, it taxes the fair-minded woman to her utmost to be thoroughty neutral in her dress, it can he done, however, for a Uhlan hat may be worn with a dress on strictly English field uni- form lines. g The jackets vary in length, some are moderately long in the back and cut short in the front from the underarm seam. Others are cut short all the way round. The bolero with or ‘without sleeves is worn especially in the silk suits. The second illustration is a suit with an Eton jacket with V- neck and buttons down the front. With this is worn a full skirt which is stitched several times around the lower edge. This is the type of suit that would make an excellent traveling suit for a woman who is going to the Pan- American or upon any other journey. The separate waists, which, of course, are in great demand with the popularity of the suit, are shown in a large variety this year. The plain styles trimmed only with buttons and fastened down the front are considered the most correct, but they are slowly becoming a little more elaborate with a few tucks and a little shirring. These are made of voile, chiffon and crepe de Chine while the ones shown for summer are developed in hand- kerchief linen, voile, Swiss and organdy. Very plain covered buttons are used. on these waists and some of the very latest have small ivory buttons shaped like quinine capsules down the front. Most of the waists are made very long, close sleeves and adjustable collars; that is collars which are closed high around the neck or may be left open as desired. | Dresses are being finished around the bottom of the skirts in many various ways. A dress of net has a deep hem of white taffeta figured in pink, which was cut in deep scallops at the top edge. A close-fitting bodice of silk was covered with a- flowing bolero of net which was bound around the edge with the figured silk cut on the bias. Other skirts of net and chiffon have hems eighteen inches deep of taffeta or satin and many or- gandy dresses shown have deep hems of colored silk. Nets also have deep hems of colored or- andy. . The scalloped lower edges are particularly pretty and can be used with effect on the bottom of sheer summer dresses, if you are beginning to think of making these. Points are also used as well as squares. When very sheer material is used; a narrow ruffle of the same material may be used to run around the edges. In others, of a little heavier fabric a simple binding may be used to finish the edges. | Pie’ WY, f : fh er yil\, ae a = The Eton Jacket with Full Skirt | Developed in Khaki | Still another way to finish the bSttom of the skirt is to cord it several times on a small , cord. ‘The wide cord has been used, but sveral rows of finer cording is much newer. Fringed and picot-edged box- pleatings are also used a. great deal and are very effective around the bottoms of net and tulle and sometimes taffeta dresses. These double and box-pleated ruffles are about seven inches wide and ,sewed on the dress through the middle of the ruffle, the upper edge is tacked at intervals onto the skirt, but between it falls carelessly and gives the whole dress-a very fluffy and light ap- pearance. , Smalt flowers and ribbon on tulle are some times used to- lgether in forming a very attract- ive finish around the bottom of a frock for evening wear. | The ribbons for the sason are ,exquisite and the old-fashioned picotedged ribbon seems partic- ularly popular in narrow and wide widths as well as grosgrain ribbon. | The Union Mutual Association with home office at Atlanta, Ga., has been combined with dnd ab- sorbed by the Atlanta Mutual In- ‘surance Association, of which A. F. Herndon is president; and gl. K. Gibson, secretary. These two companies are among the oldest and largest in the state and the combined organization will rep- resent one of the strongest enter- prises conducted by the race. A Student Biography No. 2 By Edgar H. Webster ‘ of Atlanta University a correspondence with one of my students who was making ven- ture toward a profession by mak- ing his way thru a medical school I published the correspondence, hoping that the story might en- courage others, to make the same venture, or at Jeast a similar one. The thing is not easy but it is possible. And now I am quot- ing the correspondence of another student friend, and I had almost written “chum”, who had written me fully in regards to his efforts which finally placed him in_ his chosen profession. He writes: “Tam only too glad to let you knows anything that will be of benefit to you and to a_felléw- [slurnnus. This information that ‘1 give you may use as you desire. Yuor first question was as to the annual expense in school. The answer is:/ Tuition $175.00, Jab- joratory fee, ete $35.00, registra- tion fee, first year $5.00. These figures covered the expenses of the first two years. In Junior and Senior years there were no laboratory fees, but hospital fees added about $25.00 to the cost of tuition... Your second question related to my total annual ex- penses. In reply, I did not keep 'track of my other expénses, [ was so busy hustling trying to get board and carfare together, and if I got that I was happy. I do not know that I spent every cent that I got ray hands on. “My laundry was only the cost of my collars; the others, well: Saturday was my wash-day. I never bought a suit of clothes from the time I entered the Med- ical school until I graduated. When I graduated, my gown, bless its memory, hid the worn places. The morning of my grad- uation I had to sew a hole in my coat. “Books: I had only two that I could call my own, The others I borrowed from my fellow stud- ents or from ‘the library. I waited table for my board part of the time. At other times I was taking care of furnaces, shoveling snow and doing chores. Part of my first year I worked in a beer garden, at nights for tips. Saturday and Sunday nights it was worth about three or four dollars a night. I finally left the place because it was getting notorious. I am glad to write that while there I never took a drink, tho, often urged and begged to do so. ®The last two and a half years I worked in+the post office at night. I got on the average about three hours of sleep a night. Sundays, | slep all day. You sce it is impossible to tell you what my - anrinal expenses were. But [tell you these things and perhaps you can figure them out. They were the: sum of all these things. 5 “The principal thing is to get the tuition for the first year. One who has hustle, grit and de- termination, can make it. It’ is not hard to get a. place to earn oard and lodging. If a fellow knows how to wait on table he will-not find making his way as hard as might appear. If one is thinking of entering upon a course of this sort, | recommend him to learn the art of table wait- ing and to learn it thoroly. “Y should add that during my vacations, I worked in the dining- ear-service, and waited at vari- ous summer resorts. My family is well. Our little man entered first grade this fall. His mother thinks he is the brightest little boy that ever went to school.

Perhaps it is as well or better that this, cannot be done. That the success is wrapped up in the struggle is doubtless many times the fact. Meantime if one has the qualities that fhy student friend catalogues, “hustle, grit, determination”, ways will open. As one crosses a crowded city thorofare, the only thing neces- sary for safety is to keep on. To turn back is fatal. Everyone is planning on your onward pro- gress.

Our leaders have upon most occasions come through all trials no mutter of what nature with flying colors. They have measured up well to the tasks which they have found be- fore them, never shirking, never un- willing to put forth their best efforts for the public good. There are all manner of tasks which comfront them, some looking toward the finan- cial and physical welfare of the race. ‘At, this particular period of the year when our boys and girls are anxiously awaiting some legitimate opportunity in which they might let off some of the excessive energy which has been stored in them for the past five or six months we wish to call our leaders attention to one way in which they may again encourage the physical develop- ment of our children. For three years our men who care not only for their own children’s welfare but also for that of others have afforded the Negro school children of this city an opportunity to know in no uncertain way that they are vitally interested in their physical welfare by providing suitable play for them. This year should be no exception and it is up to them to once again gladden their little hearts by holding the annual’ spring atbletic feté. There is no more impressive way to show our children that we have an interest in them than by once and a while demonstrating an interest in their play. A meeting of the association which has in the past fostered these games will be held next Friday might and it will then be shown by their decision to hold or not to hold the spring meet this year wvhether the interest the men have fnanifested in the children was mere- ly 2 passing fancy or a real desire to permanently better their physical de velopment. ‘The presence in the city of the state] Darber éxaminers has wrought bavoe: with « score or more Negro_barber shops which in the past have heen going on in a sort of siipshod, hap- hazard way. Many of them have been elesed and others received’ the disap- ‘proval of the heard aud’ their patrons will be compelled 'to-,seek other ton- soriat parlors because the shps where there are accnstomed® to have‘ ther work done will not-be alle to ihe ‘up-to the state requirements in the, time alloted them by the examiners. The investigation held by the examin- ers this week camé none too soon for while it has resulted in the closing of one or two shop» whose proprietors were possessed of the desire to have their places up to requirements bit Jack the finaycial means to do so yet their patrons were not befig ac- corded the sanitary facilities which the law demands and they will there- fore have to suffer in common with the shops whose proprietors neithér had the disposition nor‘desire to meet these requirements. There are several Negro Shops here whore sanitation and equipment are perhaps as good as can be found in any Negro shop in the country. The proprietors pf thexe shops have gone" to-considerable ex- pense to equip their ‘places of busi- ness properly ‘aud in such a way that the danger of faclal vdisease is re- duced to w minimums, Shops of this kind fear“no law which has for its object the preservation of health ‘They are always fit and inspection by state or municipal authorities has ne effect upon them, The geueral pub. lic should know where disease, danger from dirt and the probability, of in fections. of varlous kinds which im pair human heaith He sind there is’n¢ better way of calling public attention to these places than by periodical vis its by persons delegated by the state or city“to-see that they are closed up. ‘There has been too little attention paic to the sanitary conditions which sur. round barbershops and a rigid enforce: ment. of.the law passed by the last state legislature relative to this mat. ter will be of much benefit to the general public. The age of indifferent ‘sanitary conditions in public places has passed. It has heard its death knell none too soon and Savannah along with the other cities of the ‘state will be pleased to see the new barbershop law enforced in such a way that the barbershop hovel, dirt hole!or disease breeding joint will per- manently be u thing of the past.

Who departed this life March 26, 1914. You are gone to be with Jesus, In you heavenly land; Safe by life's flowing fountain, Safe from earthly sin. Safe in Jesus' arms. Welcome at the heavenly portals, Evermore a welcome guest; Welcome to the life immortal, In the mansious of the blest, You were welcome to the Savior's breast. J. B Cooper, husband Millie B. Johnson, Sister-in-law. Who departed this life March 15, 1914. Mother thou art gone to rest, We will not weep for thee; For thou art now where oft on earth, Thy spirit longed to be. Mother thou art gone to rest, Thine is an earthly tomb; But Jesus summoned thee away, Thy Savior called you home. Mother thou art gone to rest, Thy toils and cares are o'er; And sorrow, pain and suffering now, Shall never distress thee more. Mother thou art gone to rest, Thy sins are all forgiven; And saints in light have welcome thee; To share the joy of heaven. Mother thou has gone to rest, And this shall be our prayer, That when we reach our journey's end, Thy glory we shall share. New York Amsterdam News, New York, Wm. Mitchell agent and news reporter.

C. NEWTON, Mgr. SAVANNAH, GA. 图 What Have we Done? One of the bitterest dregs in the cup of life is the thought that we may be forgotten. As the years creep along, or rather fly at railroad speed, the reddening sunset of life and the gathering twilight that comes so softly, flooding the western sky with a kind of holy halo, grow more and more apparent, and we realize that our days are fading away and we will soon be lost to the scene of this earthly existence. Then we ask, if we do not thrust such thought from us as being too intensely personal, what have I done? Who will remember me when the stars shine upon my last resting place? Will I be forgotten? Will no one rise up and bless my name for one kindly act? Will no one regret that I have passed into oblivion? Will any one be glad that I did live? The human soul rebels and the heart and mind revolt at the mere mention of oblivion. The innate sense of being, of living, of having existence, cries aloud against becoming a non-existence. Each man and woman is a whole world. Their capacities, their activity, their brain, their thought, their very respiration constitute each of them a whole creation, and as truly as serrated creation, as separate a world, as though they lived on another planet. It is this narrow circumference of individuality that makes us feel, some times, that we are too small to be remembered, and again in the vastness of our creation we imagine we occupy a very large place in the universe. Our own importance is magnified and we consider ourselves as being greater than we are. We are relational beings, if we endeavor to find a way to leave behind us some monument other than bronze or granite. The devouring tooth of time will destroy the hardest granite and lapse of years will obliterate the tablet of bronze. If we depend upon the epitaph that loving hands may inscribe above our tomb we will soon be forgotten. Go to St. Paul's churchyard or Trinity's sacred burial ground and try to read the inscriptions upon most of the stones that mark the graves of those who, a few decades ago, went up and down the streets and highways of this great city, precisely as we do now, and you will be hold the wasting work of time. Only remembered by the slab in the cemetery, by the crumbling stone that marks the spot where they slept—for now sacrece a remnant of the sacred dust remains. Ah, how soon comes oblivion! A generation comes and goes, is buried beneath the clouds of the valley soon is forgotten. It is a blessed thought to us if we know that no matter what failures we make in life, what blunders and mistakes, there is something we have done that will be passed down through the years like the traditions of old, and the act itself will be remembered even when we are gone. Actions are immortal. Men may come and men may go, but the actions remain. Thus do we remember the heroes of old by their daring deeds, the martyrs for their blood spilt in the cause of religion, Wesley and Luther for their deeds of faithfulness. We are led to this train of thought by reading a beautiful sentiment expressed by a writer many years ago, whose earthly career was long since-ended. No tablet tells of his worth, but he is remembered by what he has done and the words of wisdom he has left, which are a rich legacy that will prove a blessing to generations yet to come. The monument of good deeds, the tablet of kindly actions, small and insignificant though they may appear to us, are yet the angels of remembrance that will herald our praises, and some one will be glad in years to come that we did live in the world. Then we will be "remembered by what we have done."—Masonic Standard. Masonic Duty "A new commandment give I unto you: That ye love one another.

The Grand Master of New York in an address the other evening said, our present Masonry suffers from an excess of ritualism; instead of being the means to an end, the "work" becomes the end itself. Many of our lodges devote nearly all their energies to making Masons, and then suspending them for non-payment of dues. Illinois Fréemason.

NO STARVATION IN LIBERIA Dead Editor—Please allow me space in the columns of your paper to say a few words, referring to an assertion made in regards to the inhabitants of Liberia facing starvation. I saw an account in the Voice of Mission, a clipping from the Washington Herald stating, "The American Residents and Natives Face Starvation in Liberia". In regards to this statement, I will say, I am a farmer and a citizen, and have lived in Liberia 47 years, but I have never known the time when conditions were more favorable than they are now. Although the citizens who are employed by the Government and depend upon it for support may feel the effect of the war, but the farmers, and the natives in the interior are little concerned about starvation. We do not say that the war has not effected Liberia in some way; according to reports its effect is felt world-wide. We do not get flour nor sugar. This may be an inconvenience, but not essential to suffering, and should the war continue for many years longer, we are not liable to suffer for want of food so long as conditions are as they are now. The following are products common to Liberia, such bread stuff as cassada, edoes, potatoes yams, bread-fruit, rice and corn. Meats are common to those in the U. S. A. The palm tree produces the palm-nuts and from this we obtain the palmoil, this is used for cooking. The plamtree produces the palm cabbage and this is acknowledged by many to be better than the cabbages raised in the U. S. A. Under the heading of fruits; are oranges, pineapples, bananas, plantain and guavas; sugarcane is raised also by very little effort. In September when I attended the Legislature at Monrovia, I wrote to Bassa county inquiring whether there was any rice to be found, the reply came stating the interior was stocked with rice. In Montsserado county the natives brought thousands of crucs of rice from the interior and sold to the merchants along the coast. The effect of this war has placed Liberia in a position to know the possibilities of her own strength. I will say to the friends who are alarmed about us, we thank you for your sympathy but under the present circumstances if any starve it will be because "He that will not work shall not eat." A. C. Reeves—African League. DIFFICULTIES OF A RACE PAPER. No one has an opportunity of learing the characterists of individuals more than the publisher of a race paper and no one has more varied and peculiar experiences. There are those who will pay the subscription as regularly and as promptly as it is due without delay or hesitation just as they would any other debt. This is the desirable and welcome subscriber. There is another class who subscribes as willingly and will pay the subscription at that time, but it is almost impossible to collect it again for it is almost impossible to find the individual as they move from place to place so frequently. Then there is the responsible subscriber who feels that he is good for the subscription but never pays unless a personal demand is made upon him for it. This may ease his conscience but it is almost as difficult to collect his subscription when it is needed most as it is to collect from the man who is not so responsible. Then there is the subscriber who imagines that every one pays his subscription except himself and that the publisher is well to do and does not need the money. He keeps the money in his pocket until it is thawed out by first one process and then another. Some subscribers never intend to pay and by first one subterfuge or another avoid payment until the publisher in self defense must stop the paper and collect the subscription by legal process when this is possible. Really the subscribers to race papers should feel a deeper interest in their success and adopt the habit of paying for them promptly and in that way lighten the burdens of the publisher and insure the regular publication of a better paper.—American Baptist.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt. xxviii, 1-10. Memory Versed, 5, 6—Golden Text, 1 Cor. xv, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. o ’“Phe regular lesson would be 1 Sam. xv, in which we have the record of Saul rejected because he rejected the word of the Lord (I Sam. xy, 23, 26). Samuel reminded him of the time when he was little in Lis own sight and how the Lord promoted him, but because he preferred his own thoughts and ways to those of the Lord he could not con- tinue. It grieved Samuel; he cried unte the Lord all night; he mourned for Saul, but came no more to see him until the day of bis death (I Sam. xy, Hi, 35). It is refreshing to turn from such a story to that of another rejected king, Dut in this case He was rejected by map, not God. God raised [im from the dead and gave Him glory. He is now alive forevermore, the Prince of the kings,of the earth, King of kings and Lord of lords, the true Son of David, yet to occupy the throne of David and reign forever, but waiting for is kingdom as David had, to wait ‘The Scriptire is full of the suffer- ings of Christ, from Gen. fi, 15, 21, on to the end of the bogls, but it is also full of the resurrection, the kingdom and the glory. Willingly and of His own accord He humiliated Himself unto Bethlehem and Nazareth and Golgotha that the Scripture might be fulfilled, but God raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory and all pow- er in heaven and in earth that He might rid the earth of the devil and the curse and’ make it His own falt world, as in Gen. iL He fs our “alive forevermore” king (Rev. 1, 5, 18) walt- ing for an “alive forevermore” peo- ple to reign with Him. If we have seen ourselves as guilty, condemned sinners and have seen Him bearing our sins in His own body and raised from the dend and ascended to the right hand of the Father and lave honestly received Him, putting all ou1 trust in His finished work, then we aay safely rest on Eph, {, 6, 7; John ‘Vi, 37, 47; Rom, ill, 24, and joyfully an- ticipate I Thess. fv, 16, 17; I John iif 1, 2; Col. ili, 4.

Lindsay - ness enterprises which are being operated in this community prom- inently before the people who are desiroug of contributing their quota to the development and maintenance of all worthy and legitimate enterprises engaged in in by.members, of the race, the lo- cal branch of the National Ne- gro Business League, through its true and trusted ‘friend, The Sa- vannah, Tribune, for nearly a year, without missing an issue, has done its best to encourage its members of the race who are en- gaged in business in this commun- ity as well as bringing to the at- tention of other members of the race who are not blessed with the privilege of being in the fair- est and; indeed the best town in the South, (Savannah) what this city and community really hold in store for the man with limit- ed means, push and, character. Efforts Proved Successful The united efforts put forth on the part of the Negro Business League, in attempting to keep the things done by members of the race in this community worth while before the people, have re- sulted in great good not only to the members of the local branch. of the Negro Business League, hut to every member of the race engaged in business in the com- munity. | Quvallify Rather than Quarrel _ Instead of our men who are engaged in business in this com- munity, standing around quarrell- ing when other members of the race who had money to spend for such things as he should keep in, stock for particular and exacting customers, come to his place of business and criticize his stock in an ‘open, frank yet kindly and helpful way, that business man instead of talking “how hard these people are to please,” went straight at the matter in a busi- ness, way and remedied the evil and the short-comings in the spirit of brotherly kindness, pointed out to him. ™~ ‘\ Friendly Criticisms Helps ~ _ As a result of such frank yet friendly criticisms, many? of our men have improved their stock, beautified their places of busi- ness and made them much more attractive in many ways, and to- day, they handle very satisfact- orily the trade of some of the most exacting and fastidious cus- tonters to be found anywhere. Easier to Lose than Make * Reparation These men engaged in business, whose errors had been pointed out to them by a friend who real- ly wished to see them succeed, could have raised a howl and com- plained about “what a hard time the black man has in trying to run a business which caters to Negro trade”, but they having been taught by years of experi- ence, decided to make the neces- sary reparation in order to at least retrieve a portion of what had been lost. Smile and the World Smiles * With You - Cheerfulness and optimism are splendid assets to any busines: or profession, No one likes tc do business with a fellow who i always ranting, fuming and wh« has a long tale of woe to tel about “how these people take their money to the other fellov and spend it with him, when can serve them just as well, ant with the same goods.” Thi business: (?) man would greath; relieve the situation by careful ly studying the methods whic! seem to be the drawing card em ployed by the other fellow wh is @ pronounced success in hi line, and adopting so much o them as would prove successft in his own business. We Learn the Game by Playing tee... © —. | gk can think of no_ business noy operated by members of the rack which offers greater inducements to the well trained, honest and upright young man, than the Ne- gro industrial insurance compan- ies which are now furnishing em- ployhent to more young men and young women than any other line of business engaged in by the members of the race anywhere. The: Negro Business League pleads with the young men of the race to start now and prepare themselves to take the places of the pioneer fathers in this line when they shall have passed off into the sweet realms of bliss, since there could hardly be any other place for the pioneer Ne- gro insurance man to spend etern- ity except it be a place of peace, and joy since he got more than his portion of the other on this side. Come carly to the next business league meeting and let’s talk over the promotion of some big things. , The league ‘meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings in each month ‘at the Wage Earners new bank building, West’ Broad and Alice. a Negro Health Week Program —— 4 (Continued from first page) ical sogiety took charge of the program Wednegday night. The principal featurés were | papers by Dr. A. R. Fereebee and Dr? C. C. Middleton. ‘The former spoke on “Oral Hygiene” and the latter on “Detter Babies.” Both pa- pers were very instructive and will be ptiblished in next Satur- day’s Tribune. Dr. W. A. Harris presented his strikingly enter- {ining and instructive illustrat- ed lecture on tuberculosis, Aside from the impressive _ pictures showing the various methods of treating this disease which last year caused cne hundred and fifty seven deaths of Negroes in this ity while but twenty-nine whites succumber to it, there were shown pictires~of several former leading Negroes of the city and a few of the newest Ne- gro business houses., When _ the picture of City Health Officer Brunner was thrown on the serene the house applauded loudly Dr. Brunner was also among the eens EN ee night. On Friday night the ladies of the League took charge of the meeting. The principal address was by Miss Ethel Bird, secre- tary of ‘the Associated Charities. Miss Bird’s talk was very in- structive and she spoke very-fgek- ingly of her interest in the uphill fight of the Negro for -better health. Miss C. Emma Lewis, one of the vice-presidents of the League, spoke very entertainingly on the work of the league Light refreshments were served by the ladies and the even- ing was very profitably spent. The meetings terminate to- morrow afternoon by a mass meeting at the First African Bap- tist Church. The Cuyler Street school chorus of two hundred voices will render selections. Several prominent Negro and white speakers will take part. The following is the program: First. “A Statement of the Negro Health Problem,” Prof. Henry Pearson, State College.
