The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX BOSTON NEGROES PROTEST AGAINST MOTION PICTURE "BIRTH OF A NATION" CAUSES THE TROUBLE Eleven In All Arrested Editor Trotter of the Guardian Foremost Among those Upholding Honor of the Race—Most Enthusiastic Meeting Ever Held in Faneuil Hall—Governor Threatens Marshal Law. Boston, Mass., April 19.—Saturday night Colored Boston had a peaceable demonstration, of assemblage and application for tickets and walking about at the "Birth of a Nation" theatre, all within legal rights. The theater people got a panic and played into their hands. W. M. Trotter was the first colored person arrested, following close on the arrest of a white friend, Joseph Gould. Eleven in all were arrested and taken to the police station, and immediately bailed out by colored citizens through the colored ball commissioner, Joshua A. Crawford, Esq., assistant treasurer of the Boston Branch of the Equal Rights League. The charge against most was reduced to "disorderly conduct." The colored people are giving money to pay all fines if cases in court are lost. Our quiet insistence on the right to be present as individuals in the lobby of the theatre just prior to a performance, to get in line for tickets, to stay in position unless a sign is put up "All tickets sold," and to walk on the sidewalk directly in front of the theatre provided all keep moving (in a circle) caused 200 extra police to be called out, holding back great crowds, and the arresting of colored people who were only exercising their just rights and resenting imposition and assaults by policemen and theatre attaches, did the rest to create a tremendous excitement which the news papers published Sunday morning in big headlines as a "riot against the 'Birth of a Nation' film play." The colored women did all the fighting for the colored men. So great is the fear of trouble and race riot that to day the governor of Massachusetts received a delegation of sixty remonstrants, representing 2,000 more, who filled the approach to the state capitol, all pursuant to a vote by the mass meeting in Faneuil hall yesterday under the Wendell Phillips association and the overflow meeting under the National Independent Equal Rights League outdoors. Mr. William D. Brigham, secretary of the Wendell Phillips Association, conducted the hearing at which white and colored men and women spoke, among them Mrs. Joseph Williams, niece of Wendell Phillips. The govenor said that the manager of the theatre would be sued tomorrow morning in the Boston criminal court under the statute against plays suggesting lewdness, and that if the courts decided the play did not violate the laws, he would have a law passed that would stop it. He was widely applauded, the women getting hysterical with joy. He then declined to address the multitude and asked Editor Trotter to represent him. So Mr. Trotter went out on the third story balcony of the State House and addressed the great crowd. Nothing has ever occurred in the history of Boston equal to this crowd at the State House, which was addressed by speakers as it waited, and which sang hymns and songs, among them the parody, "We'll Hang Tom Dillon to a Sour 'Apple Tree.'" As they dispersed over $30 was given to colored women who went about with hats. This money goes toward any fines imposed Saturday. No gathering at Faneull Hall of colored people has ever been so large and enthusiastic as that of Sunday, where they had to lock the outside dors, and a thousand held an outdoor meeting. The speakers were William D. Brigham, Frank Sanborn, the only living abolitionist, Michael J. Jordan, an Irish leader, Rolfe Cobleigh, Dr. A. P. Russell, Jr., Rev. M. W. Thornton and William Monroe Trotter. Rev. M. A. N. Shaw offered prayer Pres. Wilson was hissed repeatedly for endorsing the photoplay. Mr. Trotter was given a tremendous ovation, though he had been arrested. There were great ovati for Mr. Sanborn. Finally Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama took the ATLANTA UNIVERSITY NOTES. Atlanta, Ga.,—The Douglass Literary Society on April 16th, held an open meeting which was based upon the life and work of the poet, Longfellow. It was done in a creditable manner and was enjoyed by all present. A large number of students had the pleasure of hearing the New York Symphony Orchestra in its recent appearance under the leadership of Walter Damrosch at the Auditorium-Armory. The best rendition of the program was Dvorak's "New World Symphony," based upon a number of Negro melodies, which the composer regards as the most notable American music. On Monday-night, April 19th, Prof. and Mrs. Towns and Chaplain and Mrs. Lathorp entertained the senior classes, the debating teams and the athletic teams in the Oglethorpe building. A pleasant evening was enjoyed by all of the large number present. Many activities are in progress looking forward to commencement. The sermon before the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. Comes on Sunday, May 16, the Baccalaureate sermon on Sunday May 23 and Commencement day is Wednesday May 26th. A PROTEST Savannah, Ga., April 21, 1015 To the Editor Savannah (Ga.) Press, Savannah, Ga. As a committee appointed representing the Negro Business League, the Baptist and Methodist Ministers Unions, we wish to call your attention to an editorial in the Press of April 14, 1915, dealing with the shooting affair which happened near the Pekin theatre. We mean as to the language used in speaking of the affair, you used the word "coon." We feel free in stating that this word is born of race prejudice and thus cannot but stir up friction between the races. The white race feeling a contempt for a race thus styled, while the colored race keenly resents it learns to hate those who would design to belittle them. We further feel that a daily paper, whose mission is peace and good will, because its office is to mold public sentiment, can ill afford to wantonly insult a race, and especially when so large a percentage of its patrons of Savannah are the very people whom its editor purposely insults. There are those among both races who would build the friendly relation, but such editorials are calculated to destroy the earnest efforts of those who would have that respect and confidence built and maintained, for the one and the other. No Negro with self-respect, as a mouthpiece for himself or people, could continue or consistently tell his people that the South is the Negro's best friend, when daily papers as the Press will place such uncalled for editorials in its columns. Neither can we feel that such methods could give other than pain to those of the white race who wish that more and better confidence be instilled. Therefore, we the undersigned, in behalf of our people, hereby solemnly and most vigorously register our protest against such editorials, which cannot do other than insult a race and make more acute the racial conditions. An in accordance with the instructions of our respective organizations, a copy of his letter this handed simultaneously to the Savannar Morning News and the Savannah Tribune for publication. Very respectfully. Committee for Negro Business League: G. H. Bowen, A. R. Ferebee, D. D. S., Walter S. Scott. Committee, Baptist Ministers Union: Rev. E. H. Quo, S. T. B.; Rev. N. M. Clarke, S. T. B.; Rev. N. H. Whitmire, D. D. Committee, Evangelical Ministers' Union: Rev. C. C. Cargile, Rev. P. F. Curry, Rev. J. A. Martin. house by storm. Speakers outside were Rev. Thornton, W. D. Johnson, George · B. Blackwell, Rev. W. W. Ryan, Mr. Manning, Mrs. Minnie Wright and Prof. Allen, W. Whaley, who has been the chief outdoor speaker, beginning on Boston Common Saturday night. These demonstrations at the theatre point the way. Governor Walsh says that if the race riot occurs he will declare martial law and as commander in-chief of the state militia close the theatre. Take a hint. Stop this play. BIRTH A baby boy, Rufus Henry, arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Rivers on last Sunday. Mother and baby are doing well and father is full of smiles. SAVANNAH. GEORGIA. Bluffton Colored School Closing A LARGE GATHERING OF CITIZENS PRESENT Prof Henry Hymes of Savannah, Ga. Principal Speaker Bluffton, S. C., April 23—The closing exercises of the graded school of which Prof. J. Charles Mardenborough is principal and Mrs. L. A. Solomons and Miss Hattle B. Moore, teachers, was had at the school building on Friday night April 16th. The exercises on a whole were instructive and in perfect keeping with the best school methods as could be found anywhere. It showed that the "Tuskegee idea" has permeated the school, which speaks highly for the principal and his coworkers. The decorations of the buildings and the costumes of the children all showed that there is a general cooperation of parents with teachers, each having a keen interest in the school work. The principal address was delivered by Prof. Henry Hymes, a graduate of Tuskegee. His subject was: "Home Training!" A more suitable subject could not have been selected, which when combined with the speaker's excellent vocabulary, and impressive manner of speech, put every one's mind in action. It was a masterly piece of oratory and he was time and time again applauded. The Cantata A part of the program was a cantata representing the nations of the world who came before the Goddess of Liberty to compete for the laurel wreath. Each nation was represented by a young lady who came before the goddess in order as the rank of the nation she represented, dressed in suitable costume and each singing a solo telling why the wreath should be conferred on her. After each speaker the goddess spoke and all sang in chorus as to why that nation should not have the wreath. The music alone in this one part was worth any one's hearing; it was both instructive and pleasing all thru. Prize Speaking Contest Most instructive of all was the prize contest established three years ago in the school, for the best written and spoken paper on some subject the speaker selected from their text book of hygiene. The speakers fully demonstrated that there had been no lack of training in having them well informed on their subjects, and the art of delivery. The judges were Prof. Henry Hymes, Mr. P. A. Ryley and Rev. J. S. Maynard, who, after much deliberation, decided that the first prize be awarded to Flora Joiner. Her subject was; "How to care for consumptives". She was brought forward and presented the prize, much to the delight of all who saw it. All of the speakers spoke well but James L. Alston was worthy of special mention. His subject was "The care of the ears." The entire program was as follows: Song, "Come with Singing".....School Psalms .....School Invocation.....Mr. B. B. Furgerson Song, "Peaceful Night".....School Joint Recitation, "Welcome" .....O. Holmes and R. Simmons Holmes and R. Simmons Recitation, "Welcome"...Nathan McGill Recitation, "Good Manners"...Frank ..Alston. Song, "Make Christ King".....School Class Recitation...Josie Joiner, Rosalea Williams and James Brown.

BUTLER OF ATLANTA DELIVERS ALUMNI ADDRESS Meharry Alumnus Makes Gift of $10.000.00 to the School. "A Voice from the Field" was the subject of an address delivered to the Meharry Alumni association at Meharry auditorium Monday night by Dr. H. R. Butler, class of 1890. A large audience was present, it having been an adjourned session of the business meeting of the alumni association of the afternoon. Dr. Butler is a leading physician of Atlanta and in his address gave some wholesome advice to the class which is to receive diplomas at the commencement exercises to be held to night at Ryman auditorium. Twenty-five years ago, related the speaker, Meharry did not have the modern facilities it now has, although many of the old graduates went out with their limited knowledge and by close application have done exceptionally good work. He pointed out some of the mistakes that have been made by older members of the profession among the colored men which he said would serve as a guide to those who are to follow. The physician of the Negro race owes a debt to his alma mater that he should begin to pay up, said the speaker; a debt of service, regardless of the compensation. "Do not go out into the world with the sole object to get rich", he told the young physicians, "for in the struggle for riches suffering humanity is sometimes forgotten. Had Jesus charged for raising the dead, Lazarus would never have been raised, as poor Mary and Martha could never have raised the fee. The physician should be as the good Samaritan and should not pass down the other side of the street because the patient lives in an alley or is poor, but rather should go to all sufferers who need his professional care and pour in oil and wine. He will receive some pay in this world and the balance he will receive when he passes the bar." Alumni Meeting The annual business meeting of the alumni was held in the medical building at Meharry Monday afternoon. It was presided over by Dr. H. H. Walker of Nashville, the retiring president. In his address President Walker made a strong plea for close co-operation upon the part of the Meharry graduates. $ ^7 $ Reference was made to the gift of $10,000 made by Dr. J. W. Anderson, an alumnus of Dallas, Tex., during the past year to the school. The commencement exercises will be held at Ryman auditorium tonight at the hands of Dean Hubbard in address will be delivered by Dr. A. M. Townsend, president of the Roger Williams University. One hundred and twenty-eight will receive diplomas at the hands of Dean Hubbard in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and nurse training.—Nashville Tennessee and Nashville American. PINEY WOOD SMOKER-A SUCCESS The smoker at Masonic temple on last Wednesday night was quite a success. It was given by the Pincy Wood Club and was indeed a brilliant affair. A brass band was stationed on the outside of the hall and kept the music agoling while the members and guests were assembling. The band remained on the outside until about ten o'clock, by that time the second floor of the building was crowded with a bunch of jolly fellows. The music then came upstairs and oh, what a time. A table was spread for nearly two hundred and it contained some mighty good edibles, J. Clayton Williams offered the blessing and the smoker was then started for sure. Several speeches were scheduled to come off, but on account of the jollification of the fellows, they had to be omitted and only one talk was made and that was by David Moses who spoke on "Negro Business". He acquitted himself well. As a whole, the affair was good and the club is to be commended for pulling off such an enjoyable event. W. W. Mumphris, president of the club and chairman of the committee of arrangements, deserves credit for the manner in which the affair was conducted and for the tastily way in which the hall was decorated. Sorry, but I have an engagement to attend the races with a party of friends. You may join the crowd, if you wish. We'll be delighted to have you, and I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE ITEMS Atlanta, Ga.—Mr. Lyman who is engaged in Sunday school work among the colleges, spoke to us Thursday, April 15th. The quartette with Mr. Houston, violinist, Mr. Brock, reader, and Prof. Kemper Harreld, director, gave a concert in Birmingham, Alabama, Friday night, April 16th. The trip was a great success. The glee club and orchestra will leave Saturday night, April 24th for Milledgeville, Ga., where they will render a sacred concert on Sunday and a very elaborate program on Monday night. Mr. Harreld has made these organizations a success this year. The Glee club and orchestra entertained for Mrs. Cornelia Williams of Zurich; Switzerland, Monday evening, April 19th. A splendid musical was rendered and a large crowd from the city was present. ODD FELLOWS AND HOUSEHOLDS The thanksgiving services of the Odd Fellows will be held Sunday May 9th at F. A. B. Church, Franklin square. A taxation of 5 cents for each member on the roll has been levied by the committee and the P. S. and W. R., or whoever may be authorized, are requested to be prepared to deposit their respective amounts immediately upon the calling of the lodges and households, by so doing the committee will be able to expedite much time in raising the collection. COLORED LAWYER MADE SPECIAL AL JUDGE Little Rock, Ark., April 17—Hon. Scipio A. Jones of this city was elected special judge for the municipal court in this city recently. On account of the fact that Judge Fred A. Isgrig had filed suit against the attorney for the defendant in the case, he was disqualified and according to the provisions of the new municipal court law, a special judge had to be selected by members of the bar in court and Mr. Jones was unanimously chosen. Considerable comment went the rounds of the city regarding the incident, especially among the white people and as a result of the numerous queries as to why white lawyers should select a Negro, Judge Isgrig said: "I suppose all the white lawyers thought as I did; that for the trial of this particular case—a complaint among Negroes—Jones was peculiarly fitted by environment as well as marked ability as a lawyer, and in recognition of his reputation and standing in the community and in the bar of Little Rock, he was elected." Mr. Jones was admitted to the circuit court of his county in 1889; to the Supreme court of his state in 1900 and to the Supreme court of the United States in 1905. He is Chief Counsel for the Mosaic Templars of America; state counsel for the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and several other organizations and a member of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Those who were present at the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday had no cause to regret their presence there, so interesting and profitable was the meeting. The subject for general discussion, "The meaning of temperance," was ably led by Dr. J. W. Jamerson, the well known dentist, who was ably followed by Prof. John McIntosh, Messrs Dorsey, Roan Chauncey and others. There is no doubt that the members present were highly entertained and benefited, by the many angles of discussion from which the subject was handled by the various speakers. On tomorrow the special address will be delivered by President R. R. Wright of the Ga., State College. The association is pleased to announce the holding of its first executive session in its new quarters over the Savannah Pharmacy during the past week. The association takes this method of thanking the merchants of the city who assisted in the furnishing of the quarters During the week the track team which is to represent the Y. M. C. A. at the coming athletic meet held an interesting meeting. MADE HIGH AVERAGE AT CONSERVATORY. Miss Amabel Ione Monroe of this city, a student in the New England Conservatory of Boston, Mass., has won much distinction in her studies. She is the only colled student in a class of more than forty, and in a recent examination, she made the highest mark in the study of theory. Her average in other studies was also good. NUMBER 31 SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES EXCITING WIDE INTEREST FULLY FIVE HUNDRED WILL COMPETE State College Team Will Enter Open Events—A Score of Former School Stars to Run—Eleven Thousand Tickets Out—Much Rivalry for Honors Ticket Selling Contest. Ending with yesterday afternoon, never was one week in this city filled with more ardent preparation for an event of any sort than has been witnessed in the past seven days' activities in behalf of the North school children's field and athletic sports which will be held at the baseball park on Friday afternoon May 7th. Every house where there is a child attending a public or a large private school, has been made the seat of enthusiastic talk about the races whenever the family was gathered together at meals or otherwise. Girls are vying with the boys explaining to their parents the difference between a sprint and a distance run, a shot put and a discus throw or a pole vault and a hurdle. All of the terms commonly used in connection with such field day sports as are to be held week after are now household words in these houses. All of the schools have about selected their representatives for the various races. Many ardent aspirants for the teams were given a sad disappointment during the week when in the preliminaries they were beaten out for positions. The participation of the tract team of the Georgia State College in the open events will add greatly to the closeness of these races. The college team is practicing faithfully for the races and is going to attempt to carry off all the events they enter. The former school stars and club teams which will oppose the college team in the open events are the best runners in the city and many a hair-raising contest is promised. Perhaps the most welcome news of the week to the school children is permission of Superintendent Ashmore to have the schools closed at 1 o'clock the Friday afternoon of the races. It is probable that the private schools also will allow their children an early closing on the day of the races. Only second to the enthusiasm in the school championship is the ticket selling contest which was started Thursday morning 9 o'clock. Scarcely had The Tribune office settled down to its daily routine work Thursday morning when the various schools besieged the office for tickets and before night-fall six thousand tickets were issued with an additional five thousand given out yesterday. The rivalry among the schools in this contest is unprecedented and indicates that the largest crowd in the history of the ball park will be on hand May 7th. It is anticipated that at least five thousand will be present to see the five hundred or more boys and girls compete in the greatest athletic contest ever held in this city. At a meeting Thursday night of the boys' club of the Urban League, the organization under whose auspices the races will be staged, the selection of the various committees to serve on the day of the races was made. The committees will doubtless be augmented during next week. The committees are as follows: Grand stand—J. M Ferreebee, W. W. Hill, Sol. C. Johnson, Ed. H. Burke, A. R. Fereebee, W. H. Norman, Dr. W. A. Harris, J. R. Davis, D J Scott, H. S. Chauncy, Nathan Roberts, H. B. Wright, A. L. Tucker, Paul Perry, N. A. Cuyler, Frank Cain, E. W. Sherman, L. M. Pollard, E. Seabrooks. Ticket box—F. M. Cohen, R. A Harper. Ticket takers—A. B. Singfield, J. H. Whitis, L. L. James. Judges—A. White, I. D. Williams, H. T. Singleton, O. C. Clayborn, N. W. Este, Robt. Anderson, A. A Pope, C. E. Brent, J. W. Jamerson, W. P. Tucker, F. A. Dilworth. Starters—J. G. Lemon, A. L. Dilworth. Street cars—B. W. S. Daniels. Scorers—C. C. Middleton, M. Jones, S. A. Grant, H. Pearson. Official announcer—W. J. Stiles. Field surgeons—G. W./Smith and H. M. Collier. Suggestions for the Spring Trousseau FASHION DEMANDS THE PROPER FLARE New York, April 22—April with apple blossoms and arbutus and the fresh green of the first leaves of Spring, has become the bride's month. If not the month for weddings, at least the month when the fascinating garments for the trousseau are displayed. A traveling costume which I saw not long ago was shown with all the things necessary for a trip across the country or for European travel. The suit was of a very finely-twilled gray covert cloth, a fabric which is both stylish and serviceable. The jacket made with raglan sleeves, had a back slightly fitted and flaring below the waistline. The front was the usual and distinctive feature of the jacket. It might be called surplice, for the right-front buttoned with cloth buttons diagonally over the left side, and at the waistline it was extended into a tab, which buttoned again beneath the arms. Braid was used at the sides, on the back and on the sleeves. The collar was a rounding affair which reached around the back and the sides, with the rounding part in the front. The plain skirt, in two pieces, had the front cut with an extended tab to correspond with the tab on the jacket. © MCCALL A Rose Colored Linen with the New Smart Bolero and the Flaring, Pleat..ed Skirt. With this suit was shown a trim little turban of straw the same color as the suit, but with gray double wings of rose color placed on top of the hat. These divided so that one of the wings went on one side and one the on the other. A pair of high gray kid shoes that laced up the side instead of up the front had narrow patent-leather tips was displayed to go with this costume. Batiste and handkerchief Linen with inch-wide stripes of blue, gray, lavender, green, pink or yellow and white are extensively used for tailored shirt waists and are a decidedly smart innovation after the vogue for plain colors. Therefore, the bride may select one, or two, of these striped waists to go with her traveling suit unless a plain colored volle, crepe de Chine, or chiffon would be more useful. These are also smart and often more serviceable. A very stylish linen suit for the bride, or for others who are adding to their wardrobe, may be seen in the illustration. Rose-colored linen is the material from which the suit is fashioned. These new, long-sleeved bolero jackets are often closed only at the collar and a button or two below the neck-line, from which point they flare open in the approved manner. Beneath that jacket one glimpse a dainty blouse of sheer linen. The skirt, pleated and stitched at the waist and hips, is made with wide tucks at the bottom. A sailor hat with simple trimmings is the accompaniment of this costume. A frock which will be a standby in any woman's wardrobe is the sand-colored twilled taffeta. The bodice is full,' with a high white organdy collar, which opens and flares in front; this gives it the name of the Henry Clay collar. The sleeves are set in and rather full, having wide cuffs flaring over the hands. The many-gored skirt is very plain, but bears the earmarks of the latest cut. An evening dress is made of changeable green taffeta, with a bodice rounding low, in front and back, and edged with a pleated frill of fringed taffeta. Following the line of the neck are several buttonholed slits, through which is drawn a lavender ribbon. This ties in the front in a large lover's knot, is invisibly tacked to the waist and has the ends finished with tassels of flowers, which hang free. The taffeta skirt, slashed to the waistline on one side over a chiffon underskirt, is edged all the way round with black, while through the slashes, a few inches above the bottom is drawn lavended ribbon, which ends on either side of the slash with a large bow-knot and flower tasselled ends. For afternoon frocks, very large polka dots are very smart and new. Cream, white, and ecru, dotted with red, green, blue or lavender dots are seen. These dots are widely spread and sometimes, are as large as a dollar. A striking costume is made with a blue polka-dotted skirt with fulness held in at the waistline, trimmed with two scant ruffles on the lower edge. A waist in Eton effect is of plain ecru silk, matching in color the background of the polka-dotted material. A natural-colored leghorn hat, trimmed with blue velvet ribbon and pink roses, is worn with this dress. A simple dress of striped linen is shown in the second illustration with a V-shaped front, filled in with an organdy vest and collar. The bell sleeves are faced back with white organdy, and the sleeves turned up a trifle to give a cuff effect. The full skirt is pleated at the waist without the pleats being pressed in at the lower edge. A hat in semipoke-bonnet effect goes with the dress charmingly. The collar-and-cuff sets are very useful to wear with simple frocks, and many a dress not quite so up-to-date can be made so with the addition of one of these sets, in linen, organdy or Georgette crepe. The material and the type of collar-and-cuff set to be appropriate depends on the style of the dress. © MCCALL An Effective Striped Linen, with Organdy Vest and the New Bell Sleeves, Showing the Turn Back Cuff. Very fashionable is a wide Colonial collar, with guantlet cuffs to match. A Henry Clay set is made of stiffened voile or organdy; flaring up about the chin, with points turned over a trifle in front. The cuffs to accompany this collar are cut to flare top and bottom. The ribbon accessories which are worn this year are unusually attractive. Very wide ribbon is fashioned into belts about eight or nine inches wide, having tiny pockets on either side of the front. Girdles are made of wide ribbon, with narrow ribbon pleated and placed around the edges. Another very handsome girdle was corded five times and finished at the top with a frill of the ribbon. Still another girdle of large figured, ribbon in shades of pink and white was edged around with a narrow black velvet ribbon. Down the center of the front the ribbon was placed back and forth, crossing each other as though it were a lacing. Another basque-like girdle had straps over the shoulder and is made to come to a point in front, where the closing is finished with eyelets and lace.

A Thought for the Week We had four pairs of shoes to be repaired the other day and we took them to a colored shoe shop. The shoemaker had caught up with his work and had nothing to do. We told him that we wanted a quick job done, so he inspected the shoes and declared that they were not worth fixing; that he could not fix them; and we thought what he said was true. But we happened to pass a white man's shop so we asked him if the shoes were worth menuling; he replied "yes" and in less than two and a half hours he had the four pairs of shoes mended and the amount of two dollars in his pocket. When we passed back by the Negro shop, he had locked up and was standing out in the sun with his hands in his pockets waiting for a job, as he called it, declaring that times were dull and that he could get no work to do. The white man had plenty of work to do, was making money hand over fist, only two hundred yards away from the Negro, because he had "an eye to business."—Editorial, Charleston (S. C.) Messenger.

Fla. By W. F. Brunner, M. D., Health Officer, Savannah,'Ga. The Negro is here for all time. He depends upon the white man for everything that makes up civilization. These two statements being true, he is what the white man makes him. The Negro (and this term covers not only the black man, but all those of mixed white and Negro blood) numbers now about 12,000,000, and it would be an impossible task to remove them from this country. That is proved by his life history. It cannot be doubted that he took part in the ancient Egyptian civilization, and though but a bearer of stone and carrier of water, it is an evidence that he helped create cities and the pyramids, and it is equally certain that he went back to the jungle and reverted to type. I can cite you a latter-day beginning of the reversion to type on the part of the Negro. The coast of Georgia is fringed with sea islands where the famous sea island cotton was raised. One island, owned for over a century by one family, has unquestionably augmented its stock of slaves by purchases of directly imported Africans, some of whom were undoubted Berber or Arab blood, the best in Africa. The Civil War freed these people and the impoverished land owners sold scores of small holdings to their former slaves and they were practically left to themselves. Soon the women and children began to raise crops of rice, corn and potatoes, while the lords and masters worked a little and spent the rest of the time in hunting and fishing. In less than twenty years, Voodoolism had tainted their religion and the conjurer plied his or her nefarious trade. Their primitive huts were only approached by narrow and winding paths. In other, words he was doing just what the dog does when he turns around several times before lying down. Placed in contact with the white man, being a good imitator, the Negro soon tried to follow him in everything. While it will take another century for him to become a successful city dweller, he has gone forward by leaps and bounds. Illiteracy is disappearing and, in the main, he is trying hard to become a good citizen and a valuable asset provided he is numerically not more than two-fifths of the community in which he lives. If he exceeds that percentage, his progress is retarded and, in a community where he greatly outnumbers the white population, he goes ahead not at all and furnishes a 1 Presbyterian Sch.

C., Charleston, Savannah and Jacksonville have an excess of Negroes over whites and therefore each on of these cities is on a sanitary parity with the other. Situation in Savannah We will take Savannah as an object lesson. There were in 1013 about 39, 000, whites and 42,000 Negroes and colored people. The deaths from natural causes for that year were as follows: Whites .....442 Colored .....1,038 Annual ratio per one thousand: Annual ratio per one thousand: White .....11.95 Colored .....24.71 Deaths from tuberculosis: White $^7$ .....48 Colored .....135 Deaths from pneumonia: White .....38 Colored .....100 Deaths of children under the age of ten years: 1883—White .....214 " —Colored .....333 1893—White .....153 " —Colored .....333 1903—White .....120 " —Colored .....316 The deaths of children under the age of ten years: 1913—White .....92 " —Colored .....289 Stillbirths: 1913—White .....48 "—Colored .....230 I am going to try to demonstrate to you what the Negro health problem is and the remedy for its solution. It might be said that it is not fair to those other cities to take Savannah as a guide, but with an excess of Negroes over whites in each one of these cities, the same high mortality occurs. I will take the liberty of quoting from my annual reports, going back nearly ten years (year 1904): "The high death-rate among the Negroes, who, live in such colonies west of West Broad street, call for special legislation. The congestion of population there calls for legislation in the building laws. * * * The houses in some streets run in solid shacks for several hundred feet. Houses not fifteen feet wide, with four rooms, are occupied by two families of ten to twelve These people have no fair fight for health. While they are ignorant, their environments are such that they will always be ignorant. These people are with us and to stay, and they should be protected against themselves. In doing this we protect ourselves. But few people know of the conditions that now exist in certain parts of Savannah, and, unless the city authorities take hold of this matter, these abuses will continue, for this class of property pays enormous returns for the money invested. Here, children are filthy; --- sleep in filthy houses; eat filthy food, and your attentian is called to the mortality of children under ten years of age. "There were 123 deaths among such white children and 330 deaths among Negro children. The Negro adult population also shows the result of bad sanitary conditions, the worst of which is overcrowding. There are 5,000 or moer Negroes in this city who are parasites, and their removal would lower the death rate and reduce crime; therefore, it is recommended that some remedy be applied by enacting building laws preventing the congestion of Negroes and the elimination of the depredating class. A Dependent Race (Year 1906): "They are here in excess of the white population, and this means bad results from every standpoint. There are probably 72,000 people within the extended limits of this city, and of that number 33,000 are whites and 39,000 are Negroes. It is an economic fact that these Negroes are, as a race, absolutely dependent upon the white people, and it is just as true that 33,000 white people cannot properly care for 39,000 Negroes, and when this occurs the dependent race is a burden in every sense. "Is the Negro recieving a square deal? Let a commission investigate the houses he lives in; why, in his race, is tuberculosis increasing; why he furnishes his enormous quota to the chain gang and the penitentiaries; investigate the industrial insurance companies, the money lenders, the installment furniture dealers and, finally, the matter of the surplus population which is a most potent factor in producing that class of persons which is dangerous to the community, and must contaminate its health and prosperity. Better the creation of such a commission, at least, for this city and section than the theoretical gatherings at tuberculosis conventions and immigration congresses. The Negro is with you for all time. He is what you will make him, and it is up to the white people to prevent him from becoming a criminal and to guard him against tuberculosis, syphills, etc. If he is talented with disease, you will suffer; if he develops criminal tendencies, you will be affected. You cannot observe these things without going where he lives in colonies in this city. Investigate them and you will soon learn that if he desires to improve his sanitary conditions, he could not do it. Observe the house he must live in; the food that he must eat, and learn of all his environments. Cold-Blooded Facts Year 1908): "While the city of Savannah cannot settle the Negro problem for the country at large, the municipal government of this city owes an obligation to its people, whites and Negroes, by conscientiously looking after the welfare of its inhabitants. Let us consider the issue that we must meet, facts that stare us in the face and conditions that have existed, exist now and will continue to exist unless some action is taken and the remedy applied. Look at these figures of the vital statistics for the year 1908: Whites Negroes years) ..... 133 Deaths (without a physician) ..... 18 Deaths (stillbirths) ..... 46 Deaths from tuberculosis.. 47 Deaths from arasmus ..... 26 Deaths from pneumonia ..... 36 "These figures mean that the annual ratio per one thousand of population in deaths among the whites was 14.16 against 24.08 for the Negroes; that, in deaths under ten years of age, it was, whites 4.30 and 7.61 among the Negroes; that, in deaths from consumption, it was, whites 1.42 and Negroes 3.10. These figures mean that less than 5 per cent of total number of white infants are born dead and over 25 per cent of the Negro infants are dead when born. What does this mean to us? It means that these figures in going to the census bureau (as they do every year), place us in a bad light and that is where we belong. Certainly, immigration will not come our way. Need Building Laws "It is an imperative necessity that this city enact building laws which will prevent the construction of uninhabitable houses, which are so constructed that the only idea appears to be the revenue to be obtained from their rental. These houses are built with cunning ingenuity, as to getting as many buildings as possible in the smallest area of ground. From a sanitary standpoint, the worst problem we have to deal with in the city of Savannah is this one: There should be laws enacted to prevent the overcrowding, not only of these houses, but to prevent the congestion of people in these houses. A midnight visit to such buildings would be a revelation to the average citizen. "The congestion of residences and the people in them is one reason why last year 34 white people died of tuberculosis and 124 Negroes succumbed to that disease, and for the same reason, three Negro children die when one white child dies; and there are other reasons causing a high death rate which are a result of this disregard of the laws of sanitation. The moral side figures here also. Would you expect an improved morality when families of male and female grow up in direct contact which necessarily fol- lows when the family is restricted to one room? Would you expect normal health conditions? (Year 1910): "Your health officer has always held that the prevailing American idea that the city which shows the greatest increase in its population is the city which attracts the best class of citizens, is an erroneous. He holds that the city which provides best for its citizens is the city which will finally attract the people to it. This city stands pre-eminently in the front rank of American cities in the safeguarding of the health of that class of its people who need help, yet we have with us a population which needs help extended to them, of which they are sorely in need. To improve these people in their health and morals is a duty we owe to them and to ourselves. "I refer to the Negroes, a population which is easily in excess of the whites. A people or that portion where the Negro blood predominates over the white blood depends absolutely upon the white race for everything that makes up civilization. If he is allowed to remain here as he is, he will be a menace to himself and to us. That he is better than he is generally thought to be is self-evident to one who has observed him carefully for years. Judge not the race by observation of him in the criminal courts, nor in the hospitals. While he is not a white man painted black, with all the mentality and morality of that race, neither is he incapable of improvement over his present position. Unless you legislate for him so that his sanitary condition will improve he will continue to furnish a high mortality. All in Environment "Note how many of his children are born dead and follow the high infantile mortality up to the fifth year, and then go and observe carefully the reason for it. It would be just the same result with the white race if they lived in the same environment. Certainly, the death rate among the children, would be the same. Born in closely congested districts or in the least healthy parts of the city or in narrow lanes, he seldom has a fair chance for a healthy existence. "After he is grown he gets no better chance—he is in the same bad sanitary environments and loses his resisting power to disease, the same as any other human being would under the same conditions. For proof of this, see the death rate for tuberculosis and pneumonia. This is but the sanitary aspect of him. "Again, your health officer would recommend that a commission be appointed to inquire into why he dies in excess of the whites; why he is a bad citizen in the eyes of the law. Investigate his manner of living and in- vestigate those who live on him. "This recommendation is made for the public; it is made that we may better ourselves. Note the following: Year 1913, deaths from natural causes, whites, 442; colored and Negroes, 1, 038; total, 1,480. Annual ratio per one thousand, whites, 11.95; colored and Negroes, 24.71; total, 1,898. The estimate of the population is 37,000 whites and 42,000 colored and Negroes, a total of 79,000. You will observe that the death rate of the whites is less than one-half that of the colored and Negroes. "The following figures show the two principal causes of death: White Negro Total Pneumonia .....38 100 138 Tuberculosis .....48 135 183 "Once more we are faced with the evidence of our neglect to safeguard the white race by disinclination to recognize the Negro as a potent factor in the transmission of disease. If you continue to allow him to be herded in the basements of houses and to be colonized in crowded districts you will suffer. The Negro of the lower class is thrown into domestic contact with you and he furnishes 80 per cent of your household help. You cannot keep pace with modern sanitation unless you care for him. Deaths Under Ten Years of Age "The following table is instructive: White Col. White Col. pop. pop. death death 1883 ...20,000 24,000 214 333 1903 ...29,000 33,000 104 316 1913 ...37,000 42,000 92 289 This is the result of two conditions: one, the people, (white) are learning to observe the laws of sanitation, and this is in advancing in the enactment of laws for safeguarding the health of white children. This remarkable reduction in the death rate of white children is largely due to the enforcement of the milk laws. "If it were possible for Negro children to live, under even approximately the same conditions, they would not furnish three deaths for every death occurring among the whites." Hardy City Dwellers There is in Savannah a condition which is interesting to the sanitary observer. I refer to a section of the city where dwell two races of people differing widely in every respect save one thing which they possess in common—their dirt. A narrow street divides these people, the Russian Jew from the Negro. The first named have the lowest death rate of the city, while the death rate of the other is five times as great as that of his neighbor. The one, the hardiest race of city dwellers in the whole world, the other but a comparatively short time from (Continued on page 6 --- ```markdown ``` P Foster Sch.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. Saturday April 24th, 1915 The suggestion in an editorial in last week's issue of The Tribune that the Negro business men as far as possible, allow their employees an afternoon off on May 7th to attend the Negro school children's races, has met with wide approval and as a result many ardent lovers of field sports will be present at the races, who might not have been allowed this privilege had not the necessity of the business men encouraging the the meet in this way been brought to their notice. It is indeed gratifying to note the readiness with which many of our men of the business world have taken to the idea of urging on those who are behind this athletic event by closing their places of business on the afternoon upon which the races will be held or by allowing as many of their employees, as possible to get off to witness this affair. This attitude of co-operation in the effort to afford our children wholesome amusement in indeed commendable on the part of our business men and can't but raise them more highly in the estimation of the community. It is truly to be hoped that those business men who have already decided to allow their employees an afternoon off on May 7th will be greatly increased by others before the day of the races rols around. Our white friends have decided to erect a new school building on the East side for white children. This is a commendable step. And the thousands of colored children are yet without accommodation. The new school has proven practically nil so far as benefitting those thousands on the outside. We need a large school in the southeast section of the city, and not only that, but a modern building for the West Broad and the Maple street schools. These improvements would prove a thousand fold to the city. There is entirelty too much selfishness among many of our people. We really ever enter a movement unless we can in some manner be benefitted. We care but slightly for the poor and other unfortunate ones among us. In the churches we give but a small amount for charity or mission. In the community we do not join heartily the movements to better the condition of the people. We are too dependent on the opposite race to help us when we can help ourselves. In this city we outnumber the whites yet we have not a single institution in which our poor and decrepid ones can be carried, nor have we any place where we can send an unfortunate boy or girl. For the later a noble exception is made in the Catholic Orphanage. We have a number of young girls leading lives of shame because of the need of a place of correction. Even small girls who have committed petty crimes are placed among the more hardened ones because there is no other place provided for them. All around us there are those who are in need of assistance in one way or another, and practically nothing is being done to aid them. The little that the Urban League and few earnest ones in some of the churches are doing is hardly appreciable. All of these things should cause us to stop, think and act. The time is at hand for all of us to join hands in erecting a home for the old people of our race; a place for the orphan boys and girls; inducing the County to provide some practical place where the delinquent boys and girls can be properly cared for and trained; and contribute more liberally towards charitable move- ments that are engaged in unselfish work of uplift. First, our preachers and leading ones should support these movements, then it would be easy to reach the mass. Let us act for the best interest of our people and for the conserving of our boys and girls. Only men of efficiency have the call these days especially in positions of trust and responsibility. Even as laborers, the efficient ones are always given the preference. To become efficient, one must be faithful, apply himself to his calling, and above all be sober. The man who is addicted to the whiskey drinking habit can not hope to be efficient in any calling. Too many of our young men are ruining their lives and chances in life by too freely indulging in spirits. A crusade for the saying of a large number of our young men, and to our shame, some young women, should be made by holding up the horrors and fatal result of whiskey drinking. "A famous surgeon was called to perform an operation on the son of a wealthy manufacturer He reached the house after midnight. As the night was cold and he had to ride in a bus some miles from the railroad station, he took a glass of whiskey. When he reached the house his breath indicated what he had drunk. "The manufacturer received him in the parlor, and after a few moments' conversation, said: "I have been in business over forty years and have a large number of men in my employ. I never allow any man to do important work for me who has an alcoholic breath. I must adhere to my custom, pay you your fee, and have some other doctor do the work." "The physician retired with a new light and a new conception that the business world had a clearer notion of the effects of alcohol than he had." And all of us are perfectly satisfied that Jack Johnson was not fairly defeated. Not in the sense that advantage was taken of him, but that Willard did not have the ability to knock him out or otherwise defeat him. Physically the colored man is unwhipped, but by decree of the rules of the ring he is an ex-champion. The suit of the Riggs National Bank against Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Controller of the Currency Williams is attracting wide attention. If the bank succeeds in proving its contention, for a certainty the present administration will be doomed more effectively to defeat. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay In compliance with a resolution which was unanimously passed at our meeting held Wednesday evening, April 7th, that the secretary carefully go over the list of names enrolled on his membership book and arrange them alphabetically, and taking therefrom two names at each meeting in their alphabetical order and assign to them certain subjects which they are to discuss at our next regular meeting, was carried out at our last meeting, to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Mr. Artist Delivered Fine Address According to the program which had been officially announced at our meeting of April 7th, Mr. M. W. Artist, a successful insurance man, delivered a fine address on the subject of insurance. The subject handled by Mr. Artest in such a common sense way, was well received by the gentlemen of the League, who gave Mr. Artest prolonged applause after he had taken his seat. Mr. Wm. Driskell, a member of the Atlanta Negro Board of Trade, which is doing the same class of work which is being done by the local branch of the National Negro Business League, was present at our last meeting and expressed himself as being highly pleased at the class of work being done by the League of our city. Mr. Driskell was kind enough to say for the local league, that he had been coming to Savannah at periodical times for the last ten years or more, but at no time since he had begun coming here had he seen such cooperation on the part of those engaged in business as he has seen in the last two years. Wholesale and Retail Grain Store Just one block from the Union depot is a wholesale and retail grain store, conducted, and indeed, the building is owned by a member of the league. This is a business venture that every thoughtful man and woman of the race is proud of. Mr. Henry Mears, proprietor and owner, has just completed a new two-story veneer brick building. Because of the convenience of Mr. Mears' place of business he has the patronage of a large number of teamsters, hackmen and others who own teams. He is one of the most progressive business men in the community and his stock is large and well kept. Does your Name Start with "B"? If so you may expect at any time to be notified by the secretary of the league that you are to appear before the league to give reason for your faith in Negro business. In this way the league hopes to have a diversion in its program, which will not only be entertaining and pleasing but profitable and indispensable. Doing Great Work for the Race Is exactly the mission which is being so unselfishly filled by the Negro Business League. Notwithstanding the allegation that the only way that Negro men in certain quarters can be held intact is by some worthless grip or sign and make them promises of something for nothing, these business men who belong to the league have disproved this by the sacrifices they have made for the league and their ever willing readiness to lay aside important engagements that they might help in the upbuild of the league and thereby stimulate Negro business in general, holding before them this motto: "Not that we love and appreciate the other fellow in*busappreciate our own men and womeniness any less, but that we love and in business more." Ideas like these are the ones which the Negro Business League stands for, which meets at its headquarters, Wage Earners Bank Building, the first Wednesday and third Friday nights in each month.

While our hearts are left sad and our home in their behalf left vacant, when we think on her last words, children sing just as I cross the bridge "She is a Lily of the Valley," and His, Thank God I have finished the work you gave me to do." We are satisfied it is heaven's gain. Dear grand-ma and dear father, Your loved ones you have left; On the banks of sweet deliverence, Mother and son met. Asleep in Jesus far from thee, Thy kindred and their graves may be, But yours is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep. Mrs. Fannie Davis, daughter-in-law Mrs. Ella Davis, wife Mrs. Fannie Graham, daughter Mrs. Bessie D. Murry Grand-daughter Jas. Coleman, grand and greatgrand-sons Mr. M. G. Graham, sons Mr. A.

The Negro is going ahead in spite of our neglect of him. He is a good workman and finds employment, whether as carpenter, painter, or any other of the trades. While pneumonia and tuberculosis are his greatest foes, he has what appears to be a partial immunity to certain diseases not possessed by the white race, namely: two diseases of childhood, diptheria and scarlet fever. For some years it was my opinion that these two diseases were existing among them, unknown to the Health Department. With the close contact of the two races these diseases could not fall to be transmitted to the white race if it existed uncontrolled among the Negroes. I would here make public acknowledgement that, after 25 years of close contact with the Negro race, I have seen a wonderful improvement in him as a man and as a citizen. An exemplification of this is but to tell you that the concealment of transmissible disease is a thing of the past. It has been demonstrated in Savannah that, after being cared for in a humane way, he seldom conceals small-pox, and, I say with some pride, no Negro patient ever leaves the small-pox hospital who would not report that disease to the Health Department. The Southern man is the Negro's best friend, but they do not realize the line of sanitary endeavor necessary for the care of the Negro. There are many ofour profession who are inclined to hold aloof from these people on account of racial superiority. I can assure them that there is no contamination to follow. I meet with them as a race, with their leaders, and do not hesitate to address them at any time or place for their sanitary betterment. I say it to you that if you wish to keep pace with modern sanitation give Them a square deal.—Journal of the Out Door Life. AMONG THE MASONS The chief glory of Masonry is, that it levels all barriers that intervene between individuals and communities, and brings together upon a plane of common equality persons of that most diverse opinions, occupations and interests. Overleaping all the boundries of selfishness and exclusiveness; overruling all social and class distinctions, breaking down all partitions of of bigotry and intolerance, it unites in common work and common object 'the good and true of all purpuls, opinions and languages. The lodge can never become the exclusive creature of any social, political or religious class or sect, because it is the joint possessions of the best representatives of all classes and conditions. Here upon the level—the symbol of equality—the rich and poor, the high and low, the titled prince and sturdy yeoman, forget all differences of rank and station, unite their best endeavor for the highest good of each and all. Here the best representatives of the various church creeds, and the most diverse theological sentiments stand side by side without a single tect between them! Here the leaders of opposite parties and rival factions forget their intrigues, and catching the spirit of loyal sympathy and philanthropy breathed from every lesson of the Order, their hearts are melted into responsive love and fraternal peace. Here nobility of birth and blood is superseded by that higher nobility which is disposition and life. Here the crown of royalty and the sceptre of authority belong to those most distinguished for virtue and honor. Here all languages are melted into words and symbols conveying the same, and bearing the same significance in all circles. Of course, it is not assumed that these noble and honorable aims are never lost sight of by persons who have sought and obtained the fellowship of the order. Bad men sometimes conceal their selfish designs so skillfully that the closest scrutiny may fail to unpask them. But the object of Freemasonry to unite and harmonize in a benevolent and honorable work, the best representatives of the theological and governmental opinions, is not the less apparent on this account: And that its influence in this direction has been exceedingly potential and beneficent no one acquainted with the facts in the case will pretend to deny. The most important incorrigible political zealot and the most intolerant bigot meet in the lodge, room, and heartily fraternize with others of the most dissimilar associations and convictions. Here upon the level the antipodes of political and theological sentiment meet and join hands; and here the good and true of all classes and conditions have realized, in the fullest and sweetest sense, the Psalmist's words: "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."—Masonic Selections Three hundred and thirteen lodges and chapters meet every week in London, England Monday, 61; Tuesday, 67; Wednesday, 69; Thursday, 57; Friday, 46; Saturday, 12. The curses of the present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechism, yet who never read anything Masonic, not even the grate light upon the altar. If asked the meaning of any of the symbols, emblems or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the by-laws the answers to simple questions, wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of law and usage, and a compendium of history, landmark and tradition. One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think, but to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard, and receive the plaudits of admiring friends he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build the fraternity into its higher relationship to human activity.—Illinois Freemason. The Mason who never visits any lodge but his own becomes narrow and insular, and cannot realize the true scope and significance of the Masonic institution. The Grand Lodge of Canada's Committee on Conditions of Masonry gave an excellent recommendation on the subject of visitation, from which we quote: "The Board recommends the visiting of sister lodges, and thus weaving together by human intercourse, the warp and woof of the cloth of gold of our great fraternity. Ideas calculate, graces grow, nuggets of wisdom are found as they travel. Masonry has a universal language which all can share, as well as a universal key which will unlock all hospitable portals—the tongue of good report. Our forefathers traveled and shared the common good, so coming and going. We do act and react upon one another, as we move through the pilgrimage of life in touch with our brethren. He Travels from Birmingham to Anniston, Montgomery and Mobile, Is in the Latter City Now. We omitted and therefore are quilty of the sin of omission to our good Brother Morgan at Lincoln, Ala.. Who entertained us so pleasantly when we went there that "blizzard night" to fill our appointment, but was prevented from meeting the good citizens of that place owing to the prevailing inclement weather. But Brother Morgan leading merchant and prosperous farmer saw to it that I should not suffer any discomforts or financial loss for making the trip. Our hat is off to Brother Morgan of Lincoln and Rev. Dawson also. Wednesday, March 24, we journeyed to Anliston. We failed to meet connections there on schedule time, and thereby failed to greet the good people at Dr. Coleman's great church (The Mt. Zion), but was cordially and friendly received and generously treated by that able and energetic pastor, Rev. Dr. Maddox, who had the reins of his church well in hand, one of the most powerful and spiritual meetings we have conducted anywhere during this itinerary. Besides being able to book a number of new subscribers to the Leader, we were given an after collocation of $4.35, and one cash $1 subscription, and grateful acknowledgements for services received. Fifteen came forward for prayers and two joined the church. At Galilee, or the 17th street Baptist church, formerly pastored by our beloved president, Dr. J. H. Eason, it was eminently fitting and proper for our brethren at Galilee to seek the best clergyman possible in the denomination to succeed to the pastorate made vacant by the untimely resignation of our able and popular state convention president, Dr. J. H. Eason and they were fortunate to be able to secure the consent of the distinguish clergyman, medical doctor, eloquent preacher, great financier and church builder and organizer, Rev. Dr. D. Augustine Reid, former pastor of the great Second Baptist church at Savannah, Ga. As a result Gallice is now the queen and actually the cream of the N. E. D. for the State of Alabama. A.Few Facts Concerning Dr. Reid Because we regard him a great accession to the ministry in the state, we think it proper to make known the following facts concerning Dr. Reid, so that our brethren may know him. He was called from a prosperous charge in Philadelphia to Savannah in November 1910; he found that church in serious financial straits; an empty treasury, a heavy mortgage of $4,000, and before leaving Savannah had raised in round figures $21,000; renovated and remodelled the church; increased the congregation; gave largely to charities; instigated the movement for a $100,000 public school building for our children, and left to come to Anniston with the regret and high recommendations of the best white and colored citizens. His achievements at Anniston are phenomenal and unsurpassed by any pastor of color and equal to most any of the white pastors in that city. We preached for him Sunday morning and received an after collection of $5.15. We promised to re-register these former subscribers to the Ledger who claimed not to have ever received their paper, although previously paid for. Anniston is all right and will hereafter be alive to the Leader and all of our state work—educational, press, evangelistic and mission. Our brethren there are able, thoughtful and earnest. God bless them. Urgent private business caused us to come to Mobile, via Montgomery, where we met Dr. Judkins and Dr. Madison of whom we will speak in a later article.-The Baptist Leader.

Lesson V.—Second Quarter, For May 2, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xix, 1-12. Memory Verses, 4, 5—Golden Text, Prov. xxix, 25—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The work of the devil is not a pleasant meditation, but it is necessary that we should know our great adversary so as to successfully resist him. The topic of the lesson today is Saul trying to kill David, and ever since Calm killed Abel the devil has been very busy killing people. He is spoken of in Heb. ii, 14, as having the power of death; but, although he has been permitted to follow his occupation so long, the time will come when he shall be sent to the lake of fire forever and there shall be no more death on this earth (Rev. xx, 10; xxl, 4; I Cor. xv, 20). Meantime it is the believer's privilege to be delivered from fear of death and from all bondage in connection therewith (Matt. x, 28; Heb. ii, 15). All eary and jealousy and strife are also of the devil and should not be tolerated in a believer (Jas. ill, 14-16; Eph. iv, 30, 31). You should look as well going as goming. Notice the heels of your shoes, when the heels are twisted they will throw your shoes out of shape, which makes a bad appearance when going. In repairing your shoes we make it our special business to restore them to their original shape, no matter how bad they are twisted. Ladies and children shoes are given special attention. All work is carefully looked after by me before going out. J. H. WASHINGTOIN Although chapter xix or a part of it is our lesson chapter, we must look at xviii for the connection. The first four verses of chapter xviii are thrillingly beautiful in their assurance and manifestation of the love of Jonathan and David, but we shall come to that topic in our next lesson. After David's victory over Goliath Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and the women sang his praises, magnifying him much more than Saul (xviii, 5-7). This made Saul angry and jealous, and twice he tried to kill David with a javelin, but each time David escaped (xviii, 8-11). While God may allow His salants to be sorely tried, persecuted and even sainn, no real evil can befall them, for in the resurrection they shall be as manifestly without injury as were Daniel's friends when they came out of the furnace or Daniel himself when he came out of the lion's den. Is the Home of Sweets. Phone 293 Because the Lord was manifestly with David and he behaved himself wisely (or prospered, xviii, 5, 14, margin) Saul became afraid of him, removed him from being head of the army and made him captain over a thousand. But all Israel and Judah loved David (xviii, 12-16). The rest of chapter xviii tells how Saul sought to get rid of him by subtlety; but, falling in that scheme, he became David's continual enemy. Chapter xix opens with a command to Jonathan and to all the servants that they should kill David, but Jonathan advised him to hide a little while until he could talk with his father. The result of this interview was that Saul swore to Jonathan that David should not be slain, so Jonathan brought him back, and he was in Saul's presence as in times past (xix, 1-7). So far so good, but a man liable to give way to an evil spirit at any moment cannot be trusted. How sadly suggestive the opening words of verse 8, "And there was war again!" So it has been, and so it shall be until the devil is removed from the earth and the air, and the whole age in which we are now living is described by our Lord as a time of wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes (Matt. xxiv, 6, 7), but the time will come when the nations shall learn war no more, for He who alone is able to do it will make wars to cease unto the end of the earth.

Residence Phone 4241 Phone 2465 In the war with the Philistines David was victorious again and slew them with a great slaughter, and the Lord wrought another great salvation for all Israel (verses 5, 8). But there was war again in Saul's heart and home, for the evil spirit was yielded to, envy and anger had control, and the javelin almost did its deadly work with David (verses 9, 10). Again the Lord was his shield and deliverer, and the weapon did not prosper (Isa. liv. 17). As some one has said, the devil is very persistent, and so David had not much peace. Now he seeks to kill David in his own house, and his wife, Michal, proves to be his human deliverer, helping him to make his escape through a window and putting an image in his bed, for when she said to the messengers that he was sick Saul then sent to bring him on his bed. Saul was so angry when he found how his daughter had deceived him that he spake of killing her (verses 11-17). Green Trading Stamps We give Green trading stamps with all cash purchases.

And it is so still that if the Spirit of God is resisted the adversary comes in with great power. If people will not receive the truth God allows them to receive a lie (II Thess. ii, 10-12). David, seeing himself so persistently persecuted, fled to his friend Samuel at his home in Ramah, and they both went and dwelt in Naloth. Three times Saul sent to take him there, but each time the Spirit of God hindered and even took hold of Saul himself as he went after him (verses 18-24). We have a right to sing from the heart: "If God be for us who can be against us?" "The Lord is my light and my salyation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?" (Rom. vili, 31; Ps. xxvili, 1) THE PALM SHAVING PALACE In Wage Earners New Building. Pery R. Wright, There is great comfort also in Isa. Ili, 17.

TUSKEGEE DEFEATS MOREHOUSE Atlanta, Ga.—Before the largest crowd of the season, Morehouse met the strong Tuskegee aggregation on April 14th and was defeated by a score of 7 to 6 in a loosely played game. Kennedy opposed Nichols and outpitched his opponent, but the lack of support lost the game. Tuskegee scored one in the first and Morehouse evened it up in the second. Three more in the fifth gave Tuskegee the lead, but Morehouse came up with four in the sixth and it was then anybody's game until the fatal ninth when Tuskegee sent two across the rubber. Both teams did some heavy hitting. Tuskegee .....100 030 102—7 8 3 Morehouse .....010 004 010—6 13 6 Morehouse Ties Clark The Morehouse Tigers met Clark University. Saturday. April 17th on the latter's ground and after eight innings of play the game resulted in a tie. Clark took the lead in the early innings, but was unable to retain it. The Morehouse nine in a belated rally tied the score in the eighth, and with one man on third and another on first with two outs, the umpires disagreed on a decision and, Clark refused to accept the decision given by the base unpire when he called the man safe on third and left the field. The score was Morehouse 6 Clark 6. Batteries: Morehouse Robinson and Choate, Clark Bellinger and Nicholes.
