The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX WEST BRO WEST BROAD ST. IKE SMITH, Captain of West Broad Humane Sunday And Kind Animals Week PLANS BEING MADE FOR OBSERVANCE HERE Ministers and Teachers Asked to Cooperate for Success of Movement Will be Observed Throughout Country. The object of this observance is for the purpose of securing one Sunday in the year to be set apart for special service calling attention to the need for protection for suffering and helpless children, and also unfortunate animals; the same is to be supplemented by a week of special observances designed to advance the cause of animal protection and universal kindness. The American Humane Association has approved of the plan that the "be kind to animal week" shall precede "Humane Sunday", which would thus become the climax of this humane celebration each year In order that Humane Sunday shall be generally observed it is necessary to secure co-operation of clergymen of all denominations. It should be borne in mind that while the date for the general observance of Humane Sunday has been selected for May 23rd, and that this Sunday shall be preceded by a week devoted to kindness to animals, these dates are not inflexibly fixed, but may be changed to suit local conditions in different sections of the country, or the convenience of different religious denominations which cannot readily observe May 23. State committees, different denominations or local churches, may vary the date for Humane Sunday within their discretion. The American Humane Association will also agree to send to all clergymen, who may personally write and request the same, leaflets containing suggestions in regard to Humane Sunday observance, with extracts from sermons which have been given in behalf of kindness to our defenseless and helpless clients. This leaflet will serve as a basis for sermons or remarks which may be delivered by clergymen in recognition of Humane Sunday. It is suggested that observance of "Be Kind to Animals Week" shall include special services in schools of every description, public addresses, and the preparation of essays and newspaper articles by school children, and others, devoted to the subject of kindness to animals and the recital of incidents showing their intelligence and loyal service. It would also be well to have exhibitions devoted to horses, MAPL MAPLE ST. SAM BRADY. Captain Maple FORMER SAVANNAHIAN WINS IN ARKANSAS Mr. Solomon V. Dorn, formerly of Savannah but now of Malvern, Ark. was awarded a gold medal, 1st prize, in an oratorical contest at Gurdon, Ark., April 16th. There were sixteen schools contesting, representing three counties. This will be interesting to his friends. CONGREGATIONALISTS IN ANNUAL SESSION The 47th annual conference of the Congregationalists of New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia has been in session this week at the First Congregational Church, white. White and colored delegates were in attendance in large numbers and all discussed the business before the body and participated in the religious and social functions of the occasion upon equal terms, and without friction of any kind. Many notable addresses were delivered. At the closing session, in the presence of the immense, audience of both races, Secretary William J. Bryan spoke on "The Larger Life." dogs and cats, or other domestic animals; also work horse parades and similar functions. It is needless to say that the subject of our duty to wild animals and their proper protection should also be given special attention. In one state, at least, it is proposed to have automobiles go through the state for the purpose of distributing humane literature and encouraging the formation of new local antifurial societies as well as to stimulate the activity of those already in existence. The ramifications of this subject are so extensive that it is not possible to deal with all its features in this article. The special leaflet for clergymen giving information suitable for sermons will only be sent on receipt of a request in a personal letter or post card from each clergyman. This is a nationwide campaign and it will require tens of thousands of leaflets to meet the necessities of the undertaking. Any contribution which can be secured to assist The American Humane Association in this special work, in order to meet the expense connected with the "Humane Sunday" and "Be Kind to Animals Week" observance will be gratefully accepted and devoted only to such purposes. Local arrangements are being made by Mrs. L. T. Weathersbee. E ST.

When the Negro school children's races will have been held at the baseball park on next Friday afternoon, May 7th, the brightest and most illuminating page in the history of local athletic affairs will doubtless have been inserted. Indications point not only to the largest crowd ever assembled at the local ball park but also to a manifestation of the liveliest and most rampant athletic spirit ever witnessed here. Thousand of tickets, to be exact fifteen thousand five hundred, have been in the hands of the various school children for the past week and upon every side the little ones can be seen attempting to dispose of them in an effort to help their respective schools win the prizes offered for the school selling the largest number. Unprecedent is the demand on the part of the general public for the little white and blue tickets which will admit them to the fourth and greatest field-day and athletic meet of the school children and every body who has a drop of sporting blood in his veins will be on hand to cheer the youthful athletes as they attempt to win honor and fame for their respective schools and glory for themselves. In order to enliven the afternoon, Middleton's brass band of twenty-five pieces has been employed and will lead the thousands of children in singing sentimental and popular pieces. Just what thrills and joys will be experienced by the spectators when listening to this portion of the afternoon's program can best be described by those who were present at the previous races and listened to the singing of the thousands of children, which resounded for miles around the ball park. That the afternoon will be full of excitement and half-raising finishes may be known from the fact that fully three hundred athletes, all trained to the min 1 EDDIE BROWN, CHAMPION the twenty-nine events on the pro- prieted and every race promi- nent in to give the spectators a l The school championship will event for this coveted honor has be- ports and thrills to the afternoon presents an exceedingly intre the schools have an eye on this centered in a number of events, so ents; Eddie Brown, of Swang- er the honor again this year. ute, will take part in the twenty-nine events on the program. Fifteen schools and five clubs will be represented and every race promises to be closely contested, with the comics thrown in to give the spectators a little amusement and the boys a breathing spell. The school championship will, doubtless, hang in the balance until the last event for this coveted honor has been run off and the girls will have lent their efforts and thrills to the afternoon's entertainment. The individual championship presents an exceedingly interesting angle. All of the leading athletes at the schools have an eye on this honor and for this reason many of them are entered in a number of events, several of them going into some of the open events; Eddie Brown, of Swangin school, who holds this distinction, is in line for the honor again this year. He is in the pink of condition and expects to give the other boys a mighty struggle before he will re-relinquish it. He is entered in three of the open events aside from the school events in which he is eligible. Many of his admirers believe he will repeat this year and they will not at all be surprised to see him carry off the trophy for the highest individual point winner. The open events this year have attracted the fastest runners the city has produced in recent years. All the former school stars have sent in their entry blanks and it is a safe prediction that the most thrilling races ever seen here will be witnessed in this portion of the program of May 7th. In the dashes, will be seen such excellent performers as Irwin, Sherman, Nesbit, Brown, Bird, the two stalwart sprinters from the State College and about five others whose names are familiar to every youth in the city. The open hurdle race will probably furnish the real breath taking contest of the afternoon and the way the boys are going to negotiate the little wooden obstacles would do credit to the leading college performers. The two mile run will wind up the afternoon. Fourteen entries have been secured for this event and some excellent time is expected. There will be special seating arrangement in the grand stand for the various schools. Each school will be assigned definite space so as to allow the children as far as possible to be localized. Because of this arrangement, the schools practically taking up all of the grand stand, it is necessary that spectators who wish desirable seats should purchase box seats, which may be secured at The Tribune for 25 cents. The general admission to the park is children 10 cents, adults 15 cents. The schools entered are, West Broad, East Broad, Maple, Cuyler, Georgia State College, Beach, Swangin, Presbyterian, Catholic, Berean, Foster, Woodruff, Central Park N. and I; clubs, Y. M. C. A., Harmony, Eureka, Savannah Home Association, Boy's Club Urban League and Amateur Athletic Association. One of the rules which the committee on program wishes emphasized is that concerning the attire of the participants. No participant, boy or girl, will be allowed to take part in the race unless he is uniformed. The larger SATURDAY MAY 1ST. 1915 EAST BROAD ST. HENRY CLARK, Captain East Broad MOREHOUSE DEFEATS TENNESSEE NORMAL Atlanta, Ga.—In the greatest game of the season the Morehouse Tigers came back strong and defeated the State Normal aggregation of Nashville by the score of 9 to 5. Nance was on the mound for Morehouse and pitched superbly; not a man was able to score until the fatal ninth. Morehouse hit the ball hard from the beginning and by the sixth inning had piled up enough runs to give the old maroon a comfortable lead and ultimate victory, although the run-getting was kept up until the end of the eighth. In the ninth the visitors had some success and scored five runs when errors coupled with base hits, paved the way. Fisher, the little; catcher for Morehouse, caught a great game and poled out a homer. It is unfair to mention the feats accomplished by the individuals of the home team because the whole team worked in mid-season form. Lee for the visitors did some good batting. Score by innings: State Normal.....000 000 005-5 9 4 Morehouse .....004 000 01x-9 12 3 Batterles—Webster and Allison; Nance and Fisher. Summary—Home runs, Fisher and Wynn; three base hits, Lewis, Smith, Williams, Lee; base on balls, off Nance 2; off Webster 2; struck out by Nance 9, by Webster 2; umpire Murphy.

Captain Cuyler NUMBER 32 ROAD ST. 12th Division Holds Successful Meeting ODD FELLOWS 'MET AT EGYPT, GA. ON LAST SATURDAY Meeting Presided Over by Deputy Ed. H. Burke—Many Delegates and Visitors Present—Report of .Officers Commended. The twelfth division meeting of the Odd Fellows and Households of Ruth held on last Saturday at Egypt, Ga... was indeed an enthuslastic one. It was a day of jollification. Not a sign of disorder or dissatisfaction, which many had predicted would occur, was in evidence. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 o'clock by the deputy, Ed. H. Burke, and was harmonious throughout. Between fifty and seventy five delegates and visitors were present. After the usual opening formal... the credential committee, with Mrs. E. R. Dennis as chairman, was appointed, and a committee on resolutions, headed by Mrs. R. Ethel Cain. While the credential and resolution committees were, making up their reports, the grand lodge officers and other visitors were introduced. Those of the grand lodge officers present were District Grand Secretary, B. J. Davis; Grand Auditor E. J. Matthews and District Worthy Recorder, Mrs. R. Ethel Cain. The talks given by these officers were enjoyable. The District Grand Secretary spoke at length and touch upon every line pertaining to the order. His talk was very instructive. Among the other speakers whose talks demanded attention were C. M. Brinson, J. J. Parker, A. H. Coleman, J. H. Jackson, Geo. S. Williams and T. W. Wintry. Several of the ladies present also spoke. The report of the officers showed in every detail the condition of the division and they were commended for their excellent records. W. S. Roundfield of Savannah was endorsed by the meeting for Grand Master. Just before adjournment for dinner a short program was carried out as follows: Welcome address on behalf of Light of Egypt Lodge by Rev. J. B. Williams, response T. W. Wintry of Eden, Ga.; welcome address on behalf of Egypt Household of Ruth, by Mrs. Viola Tludall, response, Mrs. Ida B. Williams of Marlow. Several spiritual hymns were sung. As a whole the meeting was a great success and the good people of Egypt did everything possible to make the stay of their guests pleasant. They deserve credit and considerable praise 1 Street Clothes Tailored and Semi-Tailored In Cut Plain Coats and Zouave Jackets.Mark the Divergence of the Mode BOOTS AND HATS OF MILITARY ORIGIN New York, April 29. Now that Easter is past history and the smart woman has placed her stamp of approval on this style and that by actual wearing, street clothes resolve themselves into two distinct types, the tailored and semi-tailored suit. Perhaps it is the anticipation of a cross-continent trip to the fair that is making the tailored suit so popular or it may be milady on charity bent finds the plain coat and short skirt in keeping with her mood. Whatever the irresistible influence is, it has reft our suits of frills and fancy and left them for the most part plain creations with coats medium length and skirts short even to the top of the high boots. In the window of the Fifth Avenue shop, a model of dark blue gabardine is attracting the gaze of the never ceasing stream of well-dressed women who frequent the thoroughfare. Suggestive of a uniform, it boldly stands forth with patch pockets over the seams, a small one above the large one below the broad belt of white leather that © MCCALL A Military Model of Blue Gabardine Trimmed with Wide Hercules Braid sports a black buckle. The collar, notched in the most approved manner, is faced with white broadcloth to match the belt and, bound with black braid the same as the front and lower edge. Huge white ball buttons complete the trimming and below the binding on the circular skirt, the cuffs of Russian boots are seen in black patent leather to match the vamp, while the quarter is made of white kid. A small turban of black straw wifu white wings flaring on either side carries out the balance of the black and white, marking the skill of a clever modiste. Many variations are seen in this suit. Here it is made with out the pockets, and there with a shawl collar in place of the notch. However, if you start in quest of some really new fabric you are doomed to disappointment unless the fabric be a cotton. In variably as you roam through the racks and models of the cloak and suit departments, you see the black-clad saleswoman pause in front of the chair of a prospective customer and hear her say, "A dark, blue serge or gabardine, shepherd's check worsted or Donnegan Tweed?" and there the choice ends, unless, as I said before, you want a cotton for your tailored suit. Here magic has been wrought with the warp and woof. Carraval is one of the interesting cottons; it is a material for all the world like a duvetyne that has borrowed the knots of ratine, and there are numberless other good suiting cottons and linens. Feeling the defects in the season's woolens, trimmings outdo themselves, and in no small measure are responsible for the success of the tailored styles for braidings, blindings, pipings, buttons and embroideries ingeniously employed diversify and lend dash to pre- vent fashions. Suits of serge, gabardine or checked worsted have edges bound with Hercules braid in black, white, tan or blue serge, placed in four rows around the skirt above the hem, but if there is a preference it is given to the new silver tinsel braid which appears in floral borders on the bottom of the serge and gabardine coats. So quickly did it come and so smart was the effect, its popularity was instantaneous—to-day in one shop, tomorrow in another, and by the end of the week the whole avenue wears it. Nor are the borders confined to the tinsel alone. One of the small specialty shops shows a serge coat with the border in white silk braid and the effect is really fetching. There are other suits, too, with the borders embroidered with blue silk floss. Indeed, variety is endless in these strictly tailored suits. Their style is even accentuated by contrast with the silk models cut on semi-tailored lines. Distinctly different in purpose and appearance, the suits with short Zouave jackets in no wise conflict with the vogue of the tailored, but are selected for theater, afternoon and dress wear. One of New Yory's most famous houses has on display an attractive model in mouse-gray faille silk, the coat short and boxy and the skirt laid in soft pleats. Fine silk-corded motifs in the corner of the jacket and woven buttons in self-tones make rich trimming. The other day in a theater party of four young girls, who braved the uncertain April weather to wear their best to the matinee, two had the new short jacket suits, one a blue taffeta with silk-covered buttons placed close together down the closing and the other a gray silk with frogs of silk-covered cord. In come of the better shops they are introducing these short coats in cloth, but taffeta and falle are used in the greater majority of the models. It is lake a great painting, the suits forming the central figure and the accessories a background that makes the complete picture perfect. Neckwear is unusually alluring. In the stores, we read small painted placards bearing—"Berthas", "Jabots" and "Fichus" and marvel that such confections of net, lawn, Val. and filet lace, chiffon and crepe de Chine can so quickly come to enhance the beauty of the silk suits, while high collars with flaring turnovers, dainty flat organdy collars, part blue and part white, and stiff-starched linen collars cut on the Buster Brown plan grace the counters in grand array waiting to be claimed for tailored suits. O. MCCALL Zouave Jacket and Pleated Skirt Made in the New Mouse-Gray Faillo Hats equally stunning, appear in turban and sailor shapes, small sizes being favored. There are round turbans and tricorners, all straw or satin faced, ranging from black and emerald green to the sand and putty shades. Often o bow, flower or wing adorns the tip top of the crown, and I have heard it said, if one dares to whisper such a thing in a neutral land, that it was copied from the peak of a German's helmet. Others are trimmed around the brim. Resting on the cover of a big hat box with a background of flowers, one store displays a putty-colored turban, the sides straw and the top satin, edged around with acons, oak leaves and roses. Another shop on a side street has a whole window of flower hats, while a house renounced for its tailored styles, features turbans and sailors trimmed with wings and quills and natural leghorns, embroidered around the crown with wool in black and emerald green. It would seem, there is a hat for every face, but when it comes to footwear we must all bow to fashion's will for ties and boots are the only choice.

A legacy has come into our possession, and our acceptance of the trust carries with it a responsibility that closely borders upon the sacred in its nature. What is this thing that has come to us that we must preserve in violate, and in turn pass it on to our successors? It is an association of men, with which we have voluntarily allied ourselves, having as its basic principle belief in God and in immorality, with accompanying lessons and admonition, which if accepted and practiced tend to lead us, step by step, upward and onward toward the high ideals of life. In brief, it is the betterment of human character, along lines which all good men accept as essentials, for which this great fraternity of ours is striving. We succeed only as we cling tenaciously to these essentials, which we profess to accept, and which have attracted to our membership the wisest and best of mankind. It is something real, something bright, something eternal, that blinds us together. It is a vitalizing influence, affecting us according as we permit it to guide us in our strife to gain mastery over our baser inclinations, and to become in approximate measure that for which we are created. We do not interfere with the religious duties imposed upon men by the divine authority but supplement in practical fashion the various associations that would rightly direct our footsteps toward the immortal life, distributing as we labor, comfort and consolation here, helpfulness and cheer there, and love everywhere. And it is so genuine, so quiet, so true, that it is not surprising that to its work good and noble men freely devote so much of energy and of strength. Square and Compass. "For what does Masonry stand?" For loving kindness and truth; for justice tempered with mercy, where no interests of society are imperiled, and where one gone astray can by such tempered justice be brought back to rectitude and duty. Masonry stands for the protection of every man with his rights, that so he may not be overborne by any opposing interest until impartial justice has spoken. If stands for kindly dealing with the weak and erring, who have not brought themselves into disrepute nor made their lives a scandal to the fraternity. The whispered word of counsel, of warning, of encouragement or of stern reproof—these Masonry can and should speak, seeking to stay and save a brother from the weakness of his own soul and body.—Tyler Keystone. Using Bro. Mackey's language almost verbatim: "As Wisdom, in the philosophy of the East, was the creative energy—the architect, so to stand, of the world, as the emanation of the Supreme Architect—so Solomon was the architect of the Temple, the symbol of the world. He was the typical world or temple that Wisdom in appropriately referred to him and to the master of the lodge, as his representative. Wisdom is always placed in the east of the lodge, because from thence emanate all light, and knowledge and truth." Moral Cowardice Why is it that when lodges have among their membership some obnoxious character whose conduct is a reproach to Masonry that they will get him to take a dimit or resort to subterfuge to get suspended for non-payment of dues? This spirit of moral cowardice is reprehensible and lot lodges wishing to get rid of a dissolute member will give him a demit, thus providing him with the necessary passport to go out and impose upon some innocent lodge. Instead of having the moral courage, to perfer charges against him they will evade the law and suddenly announce to him that he has been suspended for non-payment of dues. No one seems to think of taking the holiest, straightforward course and perferring charges thus ridding the institution of a menace, but on the contrary, deception and fraud are practiced just because someone lacks the moral courage to do the right thing. Such men are certainly poor examples to walk in the footsteps of the illustrious Hiram, the architect, who had manly courage enough to stand up, for the right even though it cost him his life.—Exchange. The work of Masonry is to keek ourselves and our brothers in the narrow path marked by the great lights of friendship, morality and brotherly love, to the development of which we are pledged and the full accomplishment of which we are promised in that celestial lodge where the Supreme Architect of the universe presides.—Selected. To love abundantly is to live abundantly.—Drumond. Purity of Character Over the beauty of plum and apricot there grows a bloom and beauty more exquisite than the fruits itself—a soft delicate flush overpreads its blushing cheek. Now, if you strike your hand over that, and it is gone forever; for it never grows but once. The flower that hangs in the morning, imperiled with dew, arrayed with jewels —once shake it that the beads roll off, and you may sprinkle water over it as you please, yet it can never be made again what it was when the dew fell lightly from the heaven! On a frosty morning you may see the panes of glass covered with landscapes, mountains, lakes and trees, blended with a beautiful, fantastic picture. Now lay your hand upon the glass, and by the scratch of finger, or by the warmth of the palm, all the delicate tracery will be obliterated. So there is in youth a beauty and purity of character which, when once touched and defiled, can never be restored—a fringe more delicate than frost warik, and which, when torn and broken, will never be re-embroidered. When a young man leaves his father's house, with blessings of his mother's tears still fresh upon his forehead, if he once loses that early purity of character, it is a loss that he can never make whole again. Such is the consequence of crime. Its effect cannot be eradicated; it can only be forgiven. —Queensland Freemasonry. BLACKSHEAR DOTS Rev.

Jones, nearly eighteen months ago, who pastored at the church for five years, Rev. J. K. B. Butler, one of the original sons of the church who made good in the ministry and, to his credit, held several important charges in the New England states, through providence returned to Savannah, his birthplace, after many years and reconnected himself to the church. His devoted wife and helpmate did likewise. The board of deacons found him a ready assistant, ripe in experience, prepared in the researches of the gospel and intellectually qualified to carry on the work of the church. His dutiful watchfulness over the members of the church in sickness, death and what not that a faithful pastor would oversee, endeared him to the officers and members. While the affairs of the church have been carried on most successfully through the efficiency of the board of officers, headed by the late Deacon B. H. Maxwell and subsequently with Deacon Thomas R. Williams, Rev. Butler may well share in the praises that burst forth from the thousands of grateful ones that constitute the membership and the general public who recognize their efforts as a success. The revival meetings which will terminate on tomorrow, Sunday, will bear testimony of his usefulness, and contribution to the spiritual part of the church work, and, while we will dispense with his service as regularly supplying our pulpit on tomorrow because of the arrival of our pastor, Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, who will take active charge. We wish to express our grateful appreciation for the valuable service he has rendered us and in return be seech God's benediction on him and that his labors may still be crowned with ardent success in whatever sphere duty may call him.

That the field day sports which will be held by the Negro school children on May 7th will be the greatest athletic event in the history of the city seems to be indicated on all sides. Never before has the city been so thoroughly aroused on account of an event of this kind and, judging from all outward appearances, a record crowd will be on hand at the ball park on the day of the races. It is indeed pleasing to see the public take hold of this event which is for the wholesome physical development of our children in such a whole hearted and encouraging manner. These races which have been held for the past three years are the only organized effort which has been put forward for the development of our children along amusement lines and the generous patronage which they have been given bespeaks the hearty approval of them by the public. It is indeed encouraging to note the increased interest which is from time to time being taken in matters which deal with the all round development of our children and we feel that the increased interest in our annual field day sports is but the beginning of a great awakening in such affairs. EDITORIAL NOTES. Let us devote a part of our time to help others. This would broaden our minds and sweeten our lives. Efficiency is the slogan that is now being waged. It should touch the life of every boy and girl, man and woman, especially of our people. As an employee, make yourself indispensable and efficient, then you will demand greater pay and many more considerations. At this the beginning of the picnic season, our people should be careful not to be too much of a spendthrift for pleasure. Be frugal and keep in mind that the proverbial "rainy day" is bound to come. We have on the registration list nearly one thousand voters, that number should be at least ten times larger. Those who are on the list should not fail to make their returns before May first. A failure to make returns means a double amount to be paid when tax paying time comes. The voters and property holders should attend to this matter at once. A few weeks ago, during the observance of Health Week, the suggestion was made by one of the speakers that it would be beneficial to the several industrial insurance companies and also to the people, if a visiting nurse be engaged to look after the health of the insured in these companies. The suggestion is a good one, and the officials of these companies should fake it up. The health of the people should be conserved, and this would be one of the excellent means to that end. Within the next two months hundreds of our boys and girls will leave the various institutions of learning and begin the real battle of life. Those of us who are in business will be deluged with applications for positions, etc. Parents and friends of those children should readily see the force of this matter and join the crusade for the unstinted support of existing places of business among us and the encouraging of lines in which we are not now engaged, thereby making it possible for the need of more employees which will have to be secured from among our own boys and girls. It is hard to think of a condition of travel more uncomfortable and barren of comforts than is to be found in the cars usually set aside for colored people on the railroads. And when to dirty cars, tired bodies because of lack of sleeping car facilities, hunger or indigestion, because of such limited chances to get decent food—when to all this you must add a drunken, vulgar brute, with breath like the house of death, manner less gentile than a hog's, voice like a trumpet and intelligence of the goose, you have made travel for the most ordinary colored person a cruel punishment.—Negro Farmer. It is a custom in this county to conduct the schools in the rural districts only six months, from October to April. Six months in school is not sufficient to give to our children that training that would the better fit them for more usefulness in life. These schools should be conducted not less than eight months, and in fact the term should equal that of our city schools. It behooves those who are interested in the welfare of our boys and girls in the rural districts to take this matter up and petition the Board of Education for an extension of the term. The Tribune is ever on the alert for those things that bode good for our people and for that reason heartily commends this idea and hopes that leaders in every school district will bestir themselves, prepare a petition and present same to the Board of Education at once. In this community there are several hundred institutions among our people devoted mainly to the aiding of the sick and the burying of the dead. There can be no criticism against these institutions because they are doing good work, but should we not devote some of our time, our energy and our means looking toward the betterment of the living? The time is now opportune for us as a race to be less selfish and think more of others and the best welfare of our community. Our white friends with all of their intelligence and other qualifications, find it necessary to have organizations of an uplifting character for their boys, their girls, young men and young women, and for mental and civic improvements. Are we not in greater need of similar institutions? As a starter there should be a federation of women's clubs to work along lines of similar organizations in other cities. A real live organization of this kind can accomplish much for the improvement of the community life. OVER HOME NEWS BEAUFORT, S.C. A wedding of unusual interest took place here Sunday evening.

The baseball team took a trip to Tuskegee for two games on April 23rd and 24th. The first game was won easily 15 to 4, in seven innings with Fowler pitching. He held Tuskegee to six scattered hits while the Atlanta boys gathered 17 hits including two successive home runs. The batting of Capt. Bell, Fuller, H. Holder and Hodges featured. Bell got four hits in five times up. In the second game Ira Holder was on the mound for Atlanta, but the Tuskegee boys found him for five runs in the fifth, when he retired and Fowler went in and held the Tuskegee boys down so that they got no more runs and only one hit in four innings. The game ended with a score of 10 to 7 in favor of Atlanta. The long home run of Ira Holder with his triple next time up, the batting of Maxwell, Bell and Fuller featured this game. The fielding of the Atlanta team was excellent and cut off several rallies. These two victories make three straight games over Tuskegee, Atlanta having won from Tuskegee in Atlanta by a score of 6 to 3.

Dexology MOREHOUSE COLLEGE ITEMS Atlanta, Ga.—The greatest social event of the year occurred April 24th when the Morehouse students gave their annual lawn social in honor of the young ladies of Spelman Seminary. The day was a gala one indeed. It was one of music and entertainment which made everyone happy. A very large crowd was present. In addition to the new $25,000 dormitory that is soon to be erected at Morehouse this summer there will be presented to the athletic association a new athletic field. It is necessary that we have this new park because the new building will be erected on the old athletic field. It will be enclosed and will have a very efficient grand stand. But before we can accomplish this we must raise $5,000 in order to get the $20,000 offered us, and this must be raised by the first of July. The students and faculty have already some plans on foot to raise this fund and it is hoped that friends will lend their assistance. The glee club and orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Kenper Harreld gave a concert at the Grand Opera House in Milledgeville, Ga., Monday night, April 26th, and the musical was a complete success. There were readings, solos, selections by the orchestra, quartette and glee club.

MRS OPHELIA MEINTOSH'S DEATH The sad taking of Mrs. Ophelia McIntosh, the wife of Prof John McIntosh of our city, as sad as such happenings are, awakes in our minds and in the minds of a host of friends, many pleasant memories. It is not, in our opinion, as much to live, as it is to live forever in the hearts of those who know us. There are a host, therefore, who will keep in remembrance, the cheerful smile, the ample welcome and the remarkable affability of this good woman. As a child she lived in Liberty county, until large enough to attend school. At an early age she came to Savannah and matriculated at Beach institute, from which school she graduated. After which she went back to her home in Liberty county where she taught at Dorchester Academy for two years. She subsequently taught in a parochial school of the Presbyterian Church, giving splendid service in both schools. She then moved to Savannah, Ga., where for many years she has labored to rear or assist rearing a number of children all of whom are contributing a quota to the advance of the race. Mrs. McIntosh was a constant christian, having in early years performed many of the multiplicities of duties which fall to men and women armed and engined for service. She was a member of the Congregational Church, and was deeply interested in its progress and advancement. Than what she has contributed to the race, few women can contribute more. Her service will live through her children and those whom she has taught thro the life she lived, the example she set. Her soul, as a consequence, simply passed on, without struggle, from labor to reward, leaving a host of friends to mourn her loss and a good husband and four children to miss her greatly. E. W. Sherman Mrs McIntosh died suddenly about 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The funeral will take place from the First Congregational Church. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. She was connected with several institutions, each of which will attend the funeral.

THOMAS 741 GWINNETT ST.E. We are now waiting to wait on you --- Published by the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, Atlanta, Ga., Lesson 3 Q: I saw a medicine advertised in the paper the other day that was said to cure consumption. Are such medicines safe and helpful? A: No. These medicines kill instead of cure. They are got up by bad or ignorant men to deceive people. Q: No one should use them you think? A: No. They are very dangerous. Q: Does consumption spread very rapidly? A: Yes, it frequently appears in a family and the other members of the family take it from the one who has it first. Q: Do you mean that one may inherit the disease, just as one sometimes inherits the personal appearance of one's father? A: No. The disease cannot be inherited, though one may inherit a weak body from one's parents, which will make one an easy victim of consumption. ...Q: When consumption appears in a family, is there any way of preventing other members of the family from taking it? A: Yes, this is not hard, if all the members of the family are careful. Q: What is the most important thing for them to do? A: To have plenty of fresh air and not to come in contact with any of the spit from the person who has consumption. Q: Why is this so important? A: Because, when a person has consumption, all of his spit contains germs of the disease. Q: And can these germs give the disease to others? A: Very easily. Q: How can one keep from coming in contact with this dangerous spit? A: By seeing that the person who has consumption is very careful where he spits. Q: Where should he spit? A: He should always spit in a cup with a cover, and should empty the cup into a store or fire, and should cover his mouth with his handkerchief when he coughs. Q: What else should one who has consumption do to prevent the disease from spreading? A: He should be very careful to keep his hands and person clean and not to kiss other persons on the mouth. He should never use a drinking cup or glass that others use. Q: If a person does all this, is he still a danger to those who live with him? A: No, and because he is careful he should be treated very kindly. Q: What else should people do who live in the house with one who has consumption? A: They should be very careful to keep their windows open and to get plenty of fresh air, and should eat ample nourishing food. Q: Suppose a person has consumption and wants to go away to be cured, where can he go? A: There are many places for the treatment of consumption in the United States. Q: But must a person go so far from home to be treated? A: It is not necessary. He can take the treatment at home if he is careful. Q: How can he take the treatment at home? A: By living in a tent or a room always open to fresh air. Q: Is there any place in Georgia where a person can be treated? A: Yes, there is a state San-a-to-rlum at Alto, in Habersham and Hall counties. ...Q: Can all who want to do so go to Alto? ...A: No, because it is not yet large enough to take more than 90 patients. Only a few can go at a time. Q: Should the state do more? A: Yes, the state should do all in its power to help the unfortunate. Q: Have any of the cities places where those who have consumption can be treated? A: Yes, Atlanta has. Q: Do you think every city should have such a place? A: Yes, because they help those who cannot help themselves and save people from great sorrow and suffering. Q: Can we help do this? A: Yes, all of us can. Q: How can we help? A: By telling people how consumption can be cured and by helping those who are trying to prevent consumption. Q: Have we any organizations trying to prevent consumption? A: Yes, the Baoul Foundation, which has offices in Atlanta, also the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, in Atlanta. Q: Is it possible to care for all consumptives in institutions or in their homes? A: No; we can hardly hope to do this. Q: What must we do, then? .A: We must try to give our people healthy homes. Q: Why is this so? A: Because we know that insanitary homes and poverty help spread disease. Q: Can we ever hope to overcome consumption? A: In time, yes; if we teach all the people the truth about it, improve our method of life and care for as many careless consumptives as possible. CUBANS THINK CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH WAS SHOW FOR MOVIES, NOT REAL BATTLE FOR TITLE Queer Conditions Surrounding Willard- Johnson Millin Havanna and Knockout Leave Indelible Doubt in Minds of Majority in Attendance; Johnson Gloats Over Financial Victory. While the American sport public is priding itself in the fact that the world's heavyweight championship has returned to the white race and for the present at least, Jack Johnson has been eliminated from the pugilistic stage, there appears to be left a certain doubt as to how it all came about and whether or not the big "spade" took the fatal "dive" for the "movies." It is a fact that ninety per cent of the Americans who attended the fight left with a shade of doubt in their minds as to the real ending of the twenty-six-round burlesque and that very few Cubans feel, that the affair was a real battle. From the following, an extract in a Cuban publication in Havanna which, has graphically depicted the show of Curley, can be gained the impression left with the Cuban public as to the nature of the fight: "By the far away 'confines of the perhaps'—the sun was dying and the 'black astre' was falling very badly hurt in the ring. This has been a tragedy, one thousand voices assured, but other thousand murmur that all was but a comedy."—La Tropica Comica Fought Movie Battle In telling of the Havanna fight between Willard and Johnson, in which all of the glory goes to Willard as the champion heavyweight of the world, American newspaper men have gallantly fought any possible attempt on the part of septical people to promote the feeling that Johnson fought a moving picture show for money instead of fighting a champion-slip battle as advertised. Their pride as Americans and members of the white race have stood in the way of weighing the truth in the balance and they have been content to let well enough alone in order that Willard may be regarded as the real champion. This, no doubt is a noble motive in some respects, but when we have seen a Negro gloating over his earnings at the expense of the public after having sold his title for at least a quarter of a million of dollars that more than that sum may be reaped by the promoters, it makes one wonder what is wrong with the sport critic who has witnessed the affair and is content to allow the public to be fooled. It happened to be my luck to be in Havana for six weeks before the Willard and Johnson fight at Oriental Park race track on April 5th last, in the capacity of press agent for the Havana fight stadium. I was in Havana before it had been decided to hold the championship battle in Cuba. I watched the development in detail and personally met every man connected with the affair. I watched both Willard and Johnson train daily at the Miramar gardens and at the stadium. I was aware of the conditions of the two men. Johnson was not preparing for a championship match but stalling for a great admission at the stadium by going through exhibition stunts with his sparring partners, Collin Bell, "Steamboat Bill" Scott, Bob Armstrong and Dave Mills. Johnson knew what he was about and that all that was necessary was to prove his superiority over Willard at the boxing game and take the fatal "dive" at an opportune time and allow the championship to pass for the biggest sum possible. In every round of the fight he demonstrated to the public that he is far ahead of the cowboy in the skill of the ring. At times he forced the fighting enough to bewilder the big Westerner and then he would relax and rest in his arms. In the last three rounds of the fight Johnson did not exert himself enough to tire a child. It appears as if he was feigning weakness to make the end look good. "Two days after the battle Johnson told me that he was in no way fatigued, and that at the end of the twenty-sixth round he was nearly as fresh as when he started. He stated that no boxer in the ring to-day could injure him in his stomach, for they could not hit it effectively. He demonstrated this fact in the twentieth round. I asked him about the knockout, and he smilingly stated that he was always considered a good business man and had already been offered $220,000 for his 50 per cent interest in the pictures. Johnson did not exert himself enough in the final ten rounds of the fight to weaken a consumptive school teacher. He opened wide at the finish and allowed Willard to rush him to the corner of the ring. Two misspent stabs to the stomach and a right to the chin which had been partially stopped by his own mitt, allowing him to go to the floor. He leaned toward Willard, turned, sat down and stretched out, his knees in the air and his hand over his face to shield his eyes from the hot sun. The konckout did not look real to the man acquainted with the boxing game. Johnson was not unconscious nor did he show any signs of suffering. He awaited the count of ten, paused, then got up with the aid of his assistants. He smiled, thanked the spectators for their kind appreciation and closed the show. Feigning Weakness It was noticed also after the twentieth round that certain interested people were getting nervous as to the outcome, but Johnson, to relieve the feeling of a few, sent word to Jack Curley, who had left the ringside, that he was growing weak and could not last much longer. Has this ever happened during a bout before? In the opinion of many, this meant instead of the S. O. S. of distress that the show had proven a success from a picture standpoint and that the climax, in favor of the white race, was to come off as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Johnson is known to have stated to one of his best friends and a man who was in his corner, that he could not trust him as to the outcome before the fight. He told this same person, whose name will be withheld, that he had given him enough inside "stuff" in London, nine months ago, to set him right and that he was afraid that something might change the program, should the fact become known. The solution of the whole thing is quite easy, in my opinion. The right inducement was there to make Johnson sell. He had a purse of $30,000 in his hand and the prospect of a large fortune if the performance was a success. It was the highest price the title could ever be worth. Curley did not frame the Negro to lay down but his inducement was so great that the Negro could not overlook the dough bag. Johnson told me in Havana that he was absolutely tired of being champion of the world. He stated that the novelty had all worn off and that he had not had a moment's rest while holding the crown. "I am tired of it all." he stated and have wanted to retire for months. I will now go back to my farm near Paris, where I will live in quiet, enjoying the money I have collected. I am independently rich. Curley has been my good friend, and I am glad that he has an interest in the championship which should reward him handsomely. "I am of the opinion that Willard was sincere in his conviction that Johnson was fighting his best throughout the battle and knew nothing of what the Negro was planning round by round. I must say, though, that Willard himself appeared to be the most surprised man in the entire audience when Johnson settled to the floor." "The affair has, without doubt, put an end to prize fighting in Cuba, a place which had been selected as the happy hunting grounds for American sports and pugs.—G. W. Krick in the Jacksonville.

Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xx, 32-42 Memory Verse, 42—Golden Text, Prov. xvii, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our lesson topic today is "The Friendship of David and Jonathan," but the lesson verses give only one incident out of many. As our next lesson will be in chapter xxvi, we will consider the David and Jonathan incidents in chapters xviii to xxiii. In chapter xiv the name of Jonathan is mentioned twenty-four times, and in chapter xx it is found twenty-seven times. His name may mean the gift of Jehovah, and he surely was such to David, a real friend and comforter, making us think of Paul's words concerning some of his helpers, "Fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me" (Col. iv, 11). In our first introduction to Jonathan (chapters xiii and xiv), in which we find his name just twenty-eight times, we see him as a brave soldier, relying upon Jehovah to fight for him and with him (xiv, 6, 7). The next mention of him is after David's defeat of Gollath, when we read that his soul was knitted with the soul of David, for he loved him as his own soul. He stripped himself of his garments and armor and put them upon David (chapter xvii, 14; see also xx, 17; II Sam. 1, 26). They were truly kindred spirits, both strong in the Lord. We cannot but think of Him who emptied Himself for us, laid aside all His glory. He might redeem us, cloth us with His righteousness and share with us His Kingdom. We think also of the discipline whom Jesus loved, who leaned upon his bosom, but we remember what is written in John xiii, 1, of all true disciples, "He loved them unto the end, to the uttermost" (R. V., margin). You should look as well going as going. 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. -WHOLESALE AND RETAIL-Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST. JULIAN WEST AND 23 JEFFERSON ST Is the Home of Sweets. Phone 293 The next incident is in chapter xix, 1-7, where Jonathan pleaded with his father for David, reminding him that through David the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel, and so David was for a time restored to Saul's favor, but we saw in last lesson how worthless and uncertain it was. In our lesson chapter we see David returning from Samuel (to whom he had died) to interview Jonathan and to tell him that when near Saul he felt that there was but a-step between him and death and to ask him to find out if he could just how his father really felt toward him, for it would seem as if David could scarcely believe that Saul hated him as greatly as these sudden outbreaks of temper would indicate. One may give way to temper again and again and yet really love the person spoken or acted against. How beautiful was Jonathan's reply to David, "Whatsoever thy soul desreth I will even do it for thee" (xx, 4), or as in the margin, "Say what is thy mind, what thy soul speaketh or thinketh, and I will do it." What a friend to have and yet listen to Him who calls us friends, "If ye shall ask, anything in My name I will do it" (John xv, 15; xiv, 14). Jonathan seems not to have believed up to this time that his father meant any real harm to David, probably attributing all to his fearful temper, for he said, "If I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee would not I tell it thee?" (xx, 9). They went out into the field alone with the Lord and with prayer, and, as in His sight, they made a covenant the one with the other and arranged a plan by which Jonathan would find out certainly what his father's attitude to David really was (xx, 11-23). When the plan was worked out and Saul's anger against David became so manifest that he tried to kill Jonathan for taking David's part. then Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David. So he arose from the table in fierce anger, for he was grieved for David (xx, 32-34). Then Jonathan in the morning went out into the field and communicated with David by a pre-arranged plan (xx, 15-24, 35-40).

It was a three days' interval (verse 19), reminding us of so many three days' stories, and it was a morning farewell that these two friends now had (verse 35), reminding us by analogy and contrast of so many morning stories. The statement in verse 33 that the lad who gathered the arrows knew not anything of the significance of his doings nor of the real meaning of Jonathan's words to him has often come to me with power, as I have given His message from His word from time to time, simply knowing that I was seeking to be faithful to him, but not knowing anything of what He might be accomplishing by the message, but sure always that He knew what He was doing and that His word will always accomplish His pleasure (John vi, 6; Isa. iv, 11). How pathetic the farewell of these two after the lad had gone—the kissing, the weeping, the committing of each other to the Lord, and Jonathan's "Go in peace" (verses 41, 42). In the morning to which we look forward we shall be "forever with the Lord" (I Thess. iv, 17). What a contrast to this sad parting and all partings! They met once more, and Jonathan strengthened David in God, and they spoke of the kingdom and renewed their covenant (xxiii, 16-18). THE PALM SHAVING PALACE In Wage Earners New Building. Pery R. Wright, 'What God does or permits to be done is often to us a great mystery, but there is comfort in His words "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know he'eater" (John xiil 7). Prof. Edgar H. Webster, Principal Normal Department, Atlanta Univ. I chanced during the past summer to be in the printing office of a colored newspaper, and I found there a student friend of mine running a "Linotype" machine. What he was doing, was simply playing upon a key-board that looks not unlike a typewriter, his fingers following certain "copy" that was to appear in the next issue of the paper. His fingers however controlled those movements of a complicated machine which under his domination arranged the type a line at a time, one "line o' type" after another making up the reading material which should later greet the eyes of the subscribers. Now I believe that I could learn to run a "linotype." It involves keeping your eyes upon the copy while the fingers with "plano-touch" obey the eye in reproducing the manuscript. But a boy was doing it and a school boy at that. It brought to mind the fact, that when a teacher in a northern city, another boy was running at night a telephone exchange at a time when a telephone was new, and before I, his teacher, had ever had any use for a receiver or a transmitter. Never do I return to my desk in the month of October, but that I find myself interested in the summer work which the young men of the school have found remunerative during the vacation. And I have been surprised at the ability, say of this city to absorb "boy-labor" in June, and to dispense with the same in October. I have often queried in my own mind as to the varieties of work found, and the amount of recompense received. More than twenty years ago I canvassed the student body of Atlanta University upon the summer work of the boys. At that time the country schools were held in the summer, and a large number of the University students taught during the vacation. And I recall that the summer schools taught at that time by the students of this school numbered nearly if not more than 100. That particular means of earning summer money has largely passed. With that experience in mind, this year I have again made a similar canvass of this student body, and for the sake of a large number upon which to base any conclusion, I asked the co-operation of President Hope of Morehouse College in the canvass. Of the more, than five hundred youths and boys in the two schools nearly three hundred had a confidence to give and gave it. It is a good deal to ask of young men to tell "the amount of money earned" even under the promise that the fact, if told, would be treated as confidential. A few cases were answered in such a fashion as says that the writers were spending their vacation normally, at home, that they busled themselves about home matters, and were useful at home, and that their parents paid the term bill. And probably, a good many of the five hundred did not respond to the "questionnaire" because of this reason. There was no definite occupation and had no definite amount of money earned. Right here would be an interesting line of research; namely, an inquiry to what extent the present student body of these two schools, and by implication, of other schools is supported by the parents as against the situation a quarter of a century ago. Without having looked at the problem from this point of view, there is no doubt that a much smaller proportion of the students are self-supporting than then. This evidences a marked gain in the economic status of the clientele of these schools in that time. These 275 youths and boys repre-ent- ed 43 occupations. Among these, 10 worked at tailoring, 21 at waiting on table, 35 were hotel bellmen, 31 were porters, 17 confessed to doing day-labor, 15 were office boys, 10 were in insurance, 13 were in grocery stores, 17 were delivery boys, 4 were telegraph messengers and 8 ran elevators, 6 did carpentering; 11 worked in barber shops as barbers or porters; 3, only, taught; and 3 painted, 11 were butlers, and 7 in the pullman service, 24 spent the summer at farming. Besides these, the following occupations had representatives: agents for newspapers and newspaper delivery, caddies 3, plasters 2, cooks 3, orderlies 43, book-keeping 1, fireman 1, janitors 2, plumbing 2, brick-laying 2, as chauffeurs 3, as drivers 2, in government service 2, and as moving-picture-operator 1, in drugstores 7. The above list is not complete; it suggests the variety of occupations open to students, and on the whole no occupations stand out as distinctly open to colored youth as against white youth except perhaps hotel bellmen and porters. Some new occupations seem to creep in as that of chauffeurs, caddie at, the golf links, orderlies, and house-cleaners. The two best paid were a pullman porter and a barber. Next to these were a pullman-porter and several bellmen. One fireman earned $60.00 a month for three months. The total amount of money earned approximated nearly $27,000 or an average of $100.00 per student who reported. $100.00 seems a fair average, some earned a good deal less and others earned considerably more. The report is creditable and interesting. On the whole the more matured of the youth seem to have earned the most money; this is as it should be. The pullman service seemed to offer a fair reward for vacation service. The other occupations came in for fair emolument. The study shows that a good many of the youth earn a large part of their school expenses by their summer work. A few perhaps mostly lids whose homes are in the city, continue to earn during the school year. While personally, I might wish that the economic situation were such as to allow more of the student body of our schools to have more of vacation, and not to feel the stress of earning the means of continuing school, still as I think thru this study I see that the summer work becomes a great summer school, in which these youths and boys learn lessons of reliability, versatility, and adaptability, and of getting along with men; and above all the great lesson of independence. Concerning one lad whose summer record I have followed for several summers, it is said that he never works for anyone without bringing away a favorable impression for personal worth and efficiency. Doubtless this can be said of many others. And every one of these boys and young men who thus left a favorable impression, not only helped solve his own individual problem, but was an effective factor in building up a sentiment favorable to his race. A. M. E. FINANCIAL BOARD MEETS The annual meeting of the financial board of the A. M. E. Church opened its session Wednesday morning at the headquarters of the department, 541 14th street. Bishop H. Blanton Parks presided. The report of Prof. John R. Hawkins, secretary and treasurer of the department, showed that in spite the business depression existing in many parts of the country, the department had collected in "dollar money" over $220,000 during the current year, which was practically up to the average of previous years. As is known by most everybody, this "dollar money" is the general fund of the A. M. F. Church. Each member is obligated to pay into the general fund $1 per annum for the support of the national activities of the church. 36 per cent is used by annual conference in alding wormout ministers and widows of the deceased pastors; 16 percent is dlyided equally between the church extension and educational boards, and the remainder is retained in the general treasury for the payment of salaries of the Bishops and general officers, as well as for other connectional needs. The system of book-keeping in vogue at the headquarters is very comprehensive and has been highly praised by the country's best accountants. Besides Bishop Parks the members of the board present were: Rev. M. W. Thornton, Boston, Mass.; C. H. Murray, Catonville, Md.; J. M. Gilmore, Cleveland, Ohio; J. R. Ransom, Kansas City, Kansas; R. H. Singleton, Savannah, Ga.; E. J. Howard, Waco, Texas; J. H. West, Montgomery, Ala.; C. H. Allen, South Bend, Ind.; and W. T. Strong, Jackson, Miss. The Church Extension Board also met at the headquarters of that organization, 1535 14th street. The annual report was made by Secretary B. F. Watson. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay In the next few weeks there will come from our various schools and colleges a number of bright young men and young women, whose minds, from a theoretical point of view, have undergone pains taking and systematic training, say, from seven to ten years and more. These young people, in all probability will go to the various business concerns operated by men and women of the race, seeking employment at their hands. Have a Right to Expect Positions These young people have a perfect right to expect positions at the hands of their own kith and kind who are engaged in business and whose patronage and support come directly from members of the race. It is indeed an unpleasant thing or task for a member of the race engaged in business and whose support and patronage come directly from members of the race, to be forced to say to an ambitious young man or young woman, who may apply to them for work, "I am sorry, but we find that we are filled out at this time and cannot use you now." This, we say, is indeed painful to the member of the race engaged in business as he thinks of the time when he was young and seeking something to do. Is There a Remedy for Such Conditions?

This question has racked the brains and puzzled minds of the thoughtful ones since the dawn of the blackman's business career, which had its permanent beginning shortly after his late emancipation. The Negro Business League Offers the Remedy The local branch of the National Negro Business League presumes to offer a few suggestions, which it trusts, in a way, will serve as a panacer for at least a few of our business ills, provided they be adopted and carried out. In the first place, every member of the race should see to it that at least a portion of their business be given to every worthy and legitimate enterprise or business venture owned and conducted by members of the race. Second, we should begin early to train our children to patronize the men and women engaged in business. There are many other suggestions which might be hinted at along this line, which, no doubt, would be of some benefit to us, but suffice it to say if these two are adopted and carried out, the race would be made much stronger and rated much higher in the business world, as an important factor than it is at present. Now to be fair with ourselves, lets see how this can be done. All right now, to begin with, we are going to confine our argument at this time to only three subjects, namely, furniture, groceries and industrial insurance. For example, let us suppose that there are five thousand Negro families in the city, who pay the sum of one dollar per week for their house furnishings; this five thousand regular weekly income would give employment to twenty well paid collectors (Negro of course) and besides paying hand-only on the outlay of capital invested, would also give employment to about six girls who would be engaged as sales women, book-keepers, stenographers and the like. Now, you will agree with us that we have been very reasonable and conservative in our furniture promotion. 300 a. m. Every catholic ought to attend those services, if not every day, at least twice or three times a week. On Monday, May 3rd, our sewing circle will hold a special sale in the basement of the church. Aprons, children's dresses and many other pretty articles of the kind can be purchased. A big framed picture of our Blessed Lady Groceries, Do You Eat? Let us say that ten thousand of our people in this community work in service and as a result of such are furnished their meals from the homes in which they serve. This being true, we would still have about thirty five thousand whose daily bread would have to come from some one's store or shop, as the eating business must go o... work or play. Now, to put this in business on a minimum basis for these thirty-five thousand, let us say that twenty cents per day each will feed the twenty-five thousand by buying their groceries in whole sale lots. There groceries would cost them seven hundred dollars per day or forty nine hundred ```markdown ``` 2 A Theodore Houston, who will run in the open events May 7th What About Furniture? Groceries. Do You Eat? dred dollars per week, or should you care to figure it by the month it would be just four times forty nine, which makes the amount in round numbers foot up to ninety-eight hundred dollars. These figures, as you see, are placed very conservatively and as low as they are placed, many a deserving young man and young woman could be furnished with paying positions and great and lasting good accomplished for the race. Industrial Insurance Forty-five thousand persons paying ten cents per week for their protection against the day of sickness and accident, which surely will come, will amount to forty-five hundred dollars per week. This four thousand and five hundred dollars will give employment to ninety collectors, ten special men, nine girls and give the local office handling that amount a rating at its bank which will mean adding prestige to the race, which it can ill afford to be without. In the mean time, enabling the insurance company to discharge its obligation and keep planted deep into the hearts of the people. Come early on Wednesday evening, May 5th, and hear a fine subject discussed. Headquarters, Alice and West Broad streets, Wage Farmers Bank. SAINT BENEDICT'S CHURCH The month of May is called by the Catholics the month of Mary, because it is dedicated to our Blessed Lady. Our dear Mother the Church indeed could not select a better month for special celebrations to be held in honor of God and His dear Mother. In every Catholic church, special services, called May devotions, are held in the morning or in the evening. At St. Benedict's they will take place on week days, in the morning during mass will be raffled on that same occasion. The doors will be open to you all, form 4 p. m. to 9 p. m. The children of Mary will give a May Party in St. Mary's Hall, Monday evening May 10th. Next Friday, the Most Blessed Sacrament will be exposed to the adoration of the faithful during the whole day until 9 p. m. Tomorrow will be general communion day. St. Mary's School will hold their closing exercises on Monday May 31st. St. Benedict's on June 15th. Our yearly Picnic to Daufuskie Island will take place on July 14th. Several of our children will take part in the races to be held in the baseball park on May 7th, walk out there to see and encourage them.
