With this end in view, quite two years ago, it appointed an equal number of the best and most thoughtful and conservative mien to sit as a joint board of commissioners to formulate plans and to find some base of equit- able agreement upon which all could stand and which would serve as @ common starting point towards or- ganic unton of the two bodies. ‘After many meetings covering many months, an agreement was reached and a report of same was submitted by each set of commissioners to their respective conventions and were adopt- ed, This agreement gives to eack con- vention equal opportunity in the op- eration of the affairs of the new body. This agreement while framed for the special purpose of enabling the two organizations to unite, may justly be considered the fundamental lane vy which those composing the two schools of thought in the united body are to be governed, and to serve as a check or safeguard against unfair con- stitutional revisions and amendments and unjust by-laws.

Waistlines Return To Their Normal Place Corsets Nipped in at the Sides, Accent the Natural Curve of the Figure COSMOPOLITANS FOLLOW THE CRAZE OF BLUE TAFFETA New York, June 16—For the first time in three long years, waistlines return to their normal places. A logical review of the past few months discloses two distinct reasons for this change in fashion; first, the full skirt, and second the corset. It is not surprising that the waistline capered about when corsets were trico and the silhouette straight up and down; but now the skirts are voluminous and corsets real stays, nipped in at the sides, the joining of the waist and skirt naturally comes at the smallest part of the form, namely the waistline, as nature placed it. It has taken many months to bring about an evolution, and even yet there are those who are loath to give up their stay-belts and back to nature corsets. When Joseph in early season exhibited silk frocks with normal waistlines, many admire the couturiere's courage; but few recognized the step as a style prediction so soon to be realized. © MCCALL One of the Normal Waistline Frocks Made in the Popular Blue Taffeta To-day smart frocks have trim waist, definitely marked. Whether you are summering at Hopatcong, escaping the heat at abeach resort, or passing the early season in town, it is impossible to be oblivious, to this one feature at least, of the mode. Again and again, fashion repeats itself in the ever prevalent blue taffeta dress. Wherever the New Yorker goes you see it. If anyone thinks she can dodge the clothe issue by packing up and hiking off to the country, the mountains or the shore, she is sadly but surely mistaken. In the Adirondacks you will find all the style of the Avenue. There are the girls with their summer furs, wide sailor hats and Japanese parasols, transplanted whole from New York, with out the veneer of style spoiled or blemished. At one hotel three hours by bus from the station, a girl from the metropolist wore a taffeta frock that literally followed letter for letter the Victorian mode. It was made of perpetual blue taffeta with waist normal, and skirt sectional, formed of seven tiers, each successive tier fuller than the one before, gathered at the top and corded to the section above; the bodice was plain save for an inverted V-shaped vest of organdy, and a soft organdy collar: this was a product of a New York dressmaker, perfect so far as style was concerned. So incessant is the command for blue taffeta for these dresses, that the stores have difficulty in keeping it in stock. The craze is apparent in every department. Hats are of the French sailor type; on these the brim is slightly wider at one side than on the other, and they are worn a trifle tilted. Of blue straw, blue taffeta, or blue French crepe, they are trimmed with wings, a single bead ornament, or gauze flowers, wired in shape. Pumps are shown in navy blue leather, smartly piped in white, and even dark blue gloves in gamlett style have been introduced. But these are not as popular as the white silk gloves, finished with the Queen Elizabeth frills, and worn on the outside of the dress; for even blue, to be really chic, must have a dash of white for contrast. The fancy for the popular bule will be restricted, however, by the shortage of dye material in this country. One manufacturer made the statement that we may be thankful to get any color at all if the war continues; and this, no doubt, accounts for the makers of silk trying to force black-and-white effects for midsummer and fall. Already we are seeing here and there, in the new normal waist line dresses, smart black-and-white effects. One silk manufacturer is showing a variety of Grecian designs in black and white, and black and gold. So unusual and original are these patterns, that they have taken the trouble to have each copyrighted, lest manufacturers of inferior materials duplicate the designs. If this house successfully launches these silks on the market, and from their record in past seasons they undoubtedly will, women will soon be wearing frocks with silhouetted Dicky birds and checker-boards the conspicuous theme of the material. This dying and manufacturing question) however, is a chapter by itself. After all, what does it matter whether the dresses with the newfound waistlines are white, black or colored, so long as the result is what the French term "chic"? This very thing is brought out in the tub frocks of the season where all shades of green, blue and tan are used. At Long Beach this week, there were any number of smart pongee, linen, artificial silk, and cotton ratine costumes worn. One white linen, in particular, showed a distinctly new treatment of the waistline; two pleats in the front of the bodice formed a panel under which the straight belt of the material fastened. The skirt was laid in inverted box-pleats; the sleeves were finished with circular cuffs, and the neck with a long shawl collar of the linen, over which the girl wore a Quaker collar of sheer organdy, fastened in the front with black velvet. © MCCALL A New Treatment of the Waistline in a Tub Frock of White Linen There were other white dresses, too, with always the touch of black to give them the proper smartness. This was introduced sometimes in the hats; for instance, a wide-brimmed white Milan, trimmed with white daisies, had a low crown of black silk beaver and the brim edged with black straw. Again, a bag was carried for the distinct purpose of introducing a note of contrast with the dress. Many were of black shiny motor-leather; made in soft gathered shapes with hand straps around the body portion, or in oblong wallet style with the straps on the top. Even stockings and pumps were pressed into service to give the desired effect. Perpendicular, black and white stripes being the best liked in the stockings; the favor in pumps being divided between white buckskin, touched with black leather, and white canvas cut in the same style as the buck. The sensation of the season, however, are the walking sticks; another equal rights victory! In these, black, shiny sticks predominate with skin-tight silk covers, reaching from within six inches of the bottom to ten of the top. These covers are in white, checker board, green blue, or, in fact, any silk to correspond or contrast with the costume. And so it goes! Now, that milady's waistline is back in its normal place, she hunts other fancies wherein to express her eccentricities. "C. O. D.—1020" These letters load like the "collect on delivery" sign you see on many express packages. But far from it. They are the title of one of the most fascinating stories of adventure, intrigue, mystery and romance ever penned. This great narrative, "C. O. D. —1020" written by Natalie S. Lincoln, which involves a Jeep murder mystery, intrigue, skilful detective work, etc., will be printed in serial form in the New York Sunday World's Illustrated Magazine Sunday, June 27. Read it! By Elder Manns of Seventh-Day Adventist Church. "Never before in the history of the world have men's ideals been sosuddenly and completely shattered. Just at the moment when the churches and peace societies were giving the cry of "peace and safety" and nations were sining peace treaties not to learn war any more, the greatest war of the centuries burst unexpectedly upon the world. The bright hopes of the prophets, who predicted a millennial reign of peace on earth, to begin in 1014 were hoplessly blasted." So declared Evangelist J. W. Manns of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. "A spirit of inquiry as to the meaning of these things is taking possession of all classes of people, both among the learned and unlearned. Yet amid the distress and perplexity of men and of nations who are groping their way in the darkness, there is a beacon set up to show all wanderers the safe way. In this dark night of sin and woe, of dispare and misery, and of carnage and death, there is one bright star of hope which shines forth from the thick clouds of mystery and illuminates the future pathway of the pilgrim who is in search for a better land. This monitor of light which shines brighter and brighter as time goes on is the sacred volume of heaven "Above the dim of battle and conflict such as the world has never witnessed before, the voice of God is heard and the divine hand is seen, as nations rise and fall in the struggle for supremacy. Fourteen long chains of prophecy are recorded in the bible. Some of these prophecies reach nearly 3,500 years in the past and give us waymarkers from the far distant point to our own time and show us what we may expect in the future. Every one of these long chains of prophecies terminates with either one of four events, namely: the final judgment day, the second coming of Christ in power and great glory, the resurrection of the dead, and the re-establishment and restoration of the everlasting kingdom of God on earth after the destruction of all rival earthly kingdoms and governments. "Centuries before Nineveh was destroyed by Nebuchanezza of Bablon, Cyraxes of Medo-Persia, and Necho of Egypt, the prophet Nahum said Nineveh was to be covered with abominable filth, should never be inhabited again and its ruins were to become a gazing stock to the world. One hundred and fourteen years before Cyrus was born the prophet Isaiah predicted a ruler by the name of Cyrus was to overthrow the Babylonian kingdom and lay the great city of Bablon in heaps. Cyrus was sixty years of age when he fulfilled this prediction which was made 174 years before. The angel Gabriel revealed to Daniel that Grecia was to overthrow Persia and become a world power 207 years before Alexander conquered. In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, the angel Gabriel gave Daniel a detailed explanation of the history of the world from that distant point to the overthrow of the Turkish empire and the end of the world in the present age. "The angel began by saying: 'Now I will show you the truth. Behold there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than all; and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia, Dan 11:2. "History parallels the prophesy by giving us the names of these kings which succeeded Cyrus, 1 Cambyses, 2 Smerdis, 3 Darlus, and 4 Xerxes the great, who was far richer than all and who stirred up an army of five and a half millions against Grecia. Barring the armies of the present war his was the greatest the world had ever witnessed. 'The predicted Xerxes' defeat, and the final triumph and invasion of the Greeks. The angel also predicted the Grecian empire was to be divided into four parts after the death of Alexander. Rawlinson, the historian says: 'A guardripartite division of Alexander's kingdom was recognized, Macedonia, Egypt, Asia Minor and Syria.' 'Sixth Monarchy,' chapter 3. 'The angel's prophetic narrative continues: 'And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes shall be strong, above him; . . . his dominion shall be a great dominion.' Dan 11.5. "The Pitolemies who reigned in Egypt constituted the kings of the South, who became 'strong above him', that is, above the king of the South, or Egypt. Selucus of Syria conquered Asia Minor and extended his kingdom into Thrace in Europe, and thus he became the 'king of the North'. For the prophecy continues thus: 'So the kings of the north shall come and cast up a mount and take the most fenced (fortified) cities, and the arms of the South shall not withstand'. Dan 11:15. "Turkey to-day occupies the identi- cal territory of ancient Thrace in Europe, Asia Minor, Syria and the region drained by the river Euphrates. In other words, if the ancient prophet should rise from the dead, and should speak of the power who was ruling this identical territory, he would call him the 'king of the North.' The prophecy must be explained from the standpoint of Palestine as the center. Let this point become fixed in our minds so that we may understand who 'the king of the North' is when the angels brings him upon the stage of action again in 'the time of the end' as he does in verses 40 to 45. 'The time of the end' must refer to the last days of this world's history. The concluding words of the angel to Daniel demonstrate it beyond the shadow of a doubt. They bring to light the wreck of nations, the deliverance of God's faithful people and the resurrection of the dead. But what power occupied the territory in these last days of the ancient 'king of the north?' Turkey is that power. Most assuredly, then, today Turkey must be king of the north for 'the time of the end'. THE BEST PLACE In Savannah FOR MEN'S GOOD SHOES Prices $3.50 up B. H. Levy Bro. & Co. "The world's history was to terminate with the extinction of 'the king of the North', according to the concluding words of the prophecy. Since Turkey occupies the place of 'the king of the north' it must mean the annihilation of the Turkish empire just before all things earthly are dissolved. "In a most graphic way the angel told Daniel how the Turkish empire was to madly rush into the last struggle for its existence, but would go down in the final crash of the nations at the great battle of Armageddon. "The prophecy implies that Turkey will come to an end finally because 'none shall help him'. This plainly suggests that formerly Turkey had been helped by other powers when she was threatened with destruction. For more than a century Turkey has been helped, so the balance of power may be maintained in Europe. The great nations in Europe by means of shifting diplomacy have kept the Turkish empire from being dismembered in many threatening wars lest it would involve the whole world in a most calamitous disaster. What philosophers, diplomats and rulers have endeavored to avoid the prophecy declared would surely come—'A time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation'. Yes, 'he shall come to his end, and none shall help him'. "The sacred volume says when 'the king of the north' shall come to his end in the valley of the Euphrates and at Armageddon, which territory, is now ruled over by the Turk, it will usher in 'the time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation'. It also says that 'at that time' Michael (Chri-t) shall stand up . . . and at that time thy people shall be delivered every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them asleep in the dust shall wake'. Daniel 12:12 The important question for each of us to settle is not how we may enrich ourselves by Turkey's misfortune, for when Turkey goes down the whole world goes down in a universal crash. The very next verse following the account of the battle of Armageddon says: 'And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, says it is done. And there were voices and thunder, and lightening; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth so mighty an earthquake, and so great . . . and cities of the nations fell'—Rev. 16:17-19.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. Saturday June 19th, 1915 The getting together of the Negro Baptists of the state has been hailed with much delight not only in religious circles but wherever the results of the recent convention, held in Macon, were discussed. It is indeed, gratifying that the biggest religious denomination among our people should pull together, for it will not only benefit the institutions this sect is fostering in our state but will be of much advantage to the whole denomination in Georgia. Truly, the time is now ripe for union among our people and the Baptists of the state deserve to be highly commended for the consolidation of the two conventions which for the past twenty years have been conducting the affairs of this great denomination which numbers about four thousand persons in this state. That the leading men in the two former separate conventions should place personal glory and self interest in the back ground and come together for the common good of the denomination which they are so vital a part, speaks volumes for their fitness to lead such a large and worthy body, and we trust that if presages much more progressive and effective work by this great denomination, especially along educational lines. Mob law was very forcibly brought to public attention again this week in the death of Sheriff Hood and his prisoner, Utes Smith, a Negro charged with criminal assault, the serious wounding of several of the sheriff's deputies and a number of the members of the Winnsboro, S. C., mob who attempted to take the prisoner away from the officers when they reached the court house where the trial was to take place; and also by the lynching the same day of another Negro in Stephen county, Ga., who was under arrest for attempt to assault. In the former instance, the sheriff by refusing to deliver his prisoner to the mob and performing his duty as an honest, conscientious officer of the law, lost his life and now the authorities of the state of South Carolina are pressing their investigations, trying to find out the persons who were responsible for the shots which robbed the state of an exceptionally honest and courageous official. There is not the slightest doubt but that the death of this honest, courageous officer of the law has been the topic of discussion wherever the incident surrounding his death has become known. Everybody who has given this blood-thirsty deed of the Winnsboro mob any thought whatever knows and appreciates that officials of the caliber of Sheriff Hood are entirely too hard to find and the community which he served can ill afford to be without his services. What a contrast between the courageous actions of the Winnsboro sheriff and those of the Stephens county sheriff who put forth no efforts at all to protect his prisoner. Law abiding citizens everywhere regret to learn of the death of the valiant South Carolina sheriff, but mob law has its price and in this particular instance the toll was indeed heavy. It brings to the attention of the conservative public in a way which could not be more impressive, the necessity of putting forth some efforts to stem the tide of willful community murder which is so rampant throughout the South and by which so many Negroes lives have been taken away every year. No one gloats in the thought of an honest, conscientious officer losing his life in an endeavor to carry out the demands of the law, in fact it causes a shudder to possess us as we think of such a man's life being so ruthlessly taken, and yet such is the price which must necessarily be paid before the depredations are curbed and mob violence brought to a stop. A Sad Death I want to commend the Negro citizens who recently made manly protests against aspersions cast against our people by one of your daily papers. Good! The worm will turn everywhere, it seems, except in Augusta, where "leadingest" Negroes vie with each other in boot-licking contest. Keep up the good work, Mr. Editor, and may be this city, with others, may become infected. The article of Mr. E. W. Sherman in your last issue shows a condition of affairs that needs explanation. The Pythians of Georgia will never, in my opinion, subscribe to such a suicidal business policy as that complained of $50 per month for collecting the rentals of a small temple is preposterous, if not an outrage inflicted upon the rank and file, the poor men of the order who furnish the money, and there may be a demand loud and determined at Savannah for an accounting. The Grand Lodge did not authorize any such wasteful expenditure of its funds, and it is hoped that those who have passed out the coin will be able to clear up the atmosphere; it's muskey! It is talked and generally believed that at least one of the $25 per month jobs was created to satisfy a political palm-itching preacher whose business for years has been to "work" every lodge. I say it is so believed, and it is talked to the very teeth of my friends who control and who have been importuned to put on the "soft, soft pedal." If the Grand Lodge's money has been illegally expended, the persons responsible should be required to refund it. Personal political friendship is one thing; proper regards for safe business methods another; and while it is not hard for the really loyal, conscientious friend to differentiate, the average office holder is blind as a bat in the sunshine. Now as to that quarto-centennial matter. My understanding all along has been that the local committee at Savannah, including Mr. Sherman, was making arrangements to that end. A failure would be unfortunate, if not a reflection on somebody. I read with a great deal of interest the, article of my good friend, Mr. E. W. Sherman complimentary to my other friend, Mr. A. B. Singfield. I waited the next issue of The Tribune with almost bated breath, for after having read the fulminations I concluded that Singfield would go gunning for Sherman. I could see a way of e-cape from many instinuations—pleasant ties of course—but when my friend, the poet, disregarded his own muse for that of Oliver Goldsmith and "flung" this at Singfield I expected something would happen: "And still the wonder grows. That one small head can carry all he knows." By what method has the enormous size of our Singfield's head been reduced? Phew, Ed, its hot! There was a shake-up at the meeting of the trustees of Payne College recently held here. It is reported that President Hammond was asked to resign, and with him went several of the faculty. The reason given is that the work attendance has fallen down on the present faculty. All the public schools have closed for the summer vacation, and many of the teachers are to leave soon for cooler climes. Bishop Williams is in hot water with the public school teachers. It is charged that he, in a public statement, compared the morals of the public and church schools to the disadvantage of the former. Now the public school teachers and the ir friends are "chunking" brick-bats at the bishop's house. Si Floyd ran away 33 miles to Waynesboro and preached back at the big bishop and the bishop informed your representative that he will stand by his guns. We shall see what we shall see. One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in the city for years was that of Mrs. Alice Battey, which occurred at her home, Wednesday afternoon. She suffered a stroke of apoplexy at 11 a. m., and died at 3:30 p. m., same day. The funeral took place at Trinity Church of which she was a member at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, Rev. Channing Tobias assisted by Bishop Williams, had charge of the funeral ceremonies. Mrs. Battey was noted for her many deeds of charity, and the poor will miss her. Her last act on earth was to fill the larder of a poor woman. Mrs. Battey is survived by three daughters, two sons, a sister and brother and husband, who have the sympathy of the entire community. Misses Ruth E. and Elsie Battey, two of her daughters, are teachers in the public schools of the city. While the third daughter, Mrs. Lucile Johnson, with her huss The Negro Fair Association, the tail to the Georgia-Carolina Fair Association is "busted", I hear. Pity! Miss Helen Lee, a teacher in the A. and M. State School at Elizabeth City, N. C., is visiting her friend, Miss Sadie B. Davis on Twiggs street. A New Pastor The First Congregational Church has a new pastor, in the person of Rev. E. E. Lightner. He is an able young minister and promises good results in his labors among the people here. He succeeds Rev. J. T. Clemons, who was dropped from the church here and who sued the church. Several young women have gone to Hampton to the summer school. AUGUSTA BEWARE OF FRAUDERS! Atlanta, Ga., June 15, 1915 My dear Bro. Sol. C. John-on, Grad Secretary A. F. & A. M. Sarannah, Ga. Please give notice thru our official organ, The Savannah Tribune, that there are some men now traveling in other jurisdictions as members of our jurisdiction of Masons, claiming to be in great distress and thus robbing the people out of their earnings. One of these characters is traveling in Louisiana as one Bro. E. P. Reynolds, who is a hard working, honorable member of Bethany Lodge No. 131, Steam Mill, Ga. An investigatio not the matter discloses the fact that Bro. Reynolds was at his home hard at work, while this fraud is travelling in his name disgracing the same and our jurisdiction. There is another fraud who recently struck New Orleans under the name of Dr. Henry of Brunswick, Ga. In January and February this fraud was operating in and around Chicago and Detroit and other western cities. At the Grand Masters' conference last summer at Pittsburg we went into this matter of frauds at length, and outlined plans to overtake them. This is one of the plans. Please publish this for the benefit of the unsuspecting brothers and also officers of the law. Send a copy to every Grand Master that he may put his jurisdiction on the lookout and it will not be long before the frauders will be in the hands of the law. Sunday was Odd Fellows' day at Meldrim, Ga., and beginning early in the morning the people from all around Meldrim, poured into the little town to join in the celebration of their thanksgiving day. Several lodges were represented and the line when formed at the hall was of some length. Great preparations had been made by the people there for the occasion and everything was done to make the day enjoyable. The visitors were entertained in fine style and expressions of their appreciative treatment could be heard on all sides. Dinner was served about 4 o'clock and the tables presented a very inviting appearance. They were heavily laden with good things and no one present failed to feast sumptuously. The exercises at the church were creditable. Jas Griffin welcomed the guests and was responded to by Frank Haynes of Leford, Ga. The sermon was preached by Rev. Van of Meldrim, Ga. W. W. Cooper of Savannah acted as master of reception. Among the visitors who spoke were: W. S. Roundfield, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, J. I. Small, Andrew Plence and Mrs F. D. Armstrong. Meldrim Lodge, under whose auspices the celebration was held, is moving along nicely and is comfortably settled in its own hall. There are two floors to the building. the lower floor is used as a school and the upper one as the lodge room. Sunday's program was replete with many interesting features. "The sacred Victor-Victrola concert given by the Banks Music Company was enjoyed by the large audience present. The association takes this method of thanking the Banks Music Company for its rendition of the interesting programme of last Sunday. On Sunday night the association appeared at the First A. B. Church. West Broad and Bolton streets, where a special address was made to the members by the pastor, Rev. Win Dunn. Among those who presented the work of the association were, Pres. S. A. Grant, Messrs H. S. Chauncey. F. D. Tucker, secretary; E. C. Williams and E. Collier. A substantial donation was given the association by the church, several members of the church also joined the association. In continuance of its church to church campaign the association will appear at Asbury M. E. Church on tomorrow night. All members of the as- sociation are urged to be present; special seats will be provided for them. An interesting meeting of the Board of Directors was held last Monday night at the association rooms. A constructive campaign for the future was mapped out. The-Y. M. C. A. Literary Association, under the direction of Prof. H. Pearson, held an interesting meeting at the association rooms on last Thursday night. LET YOUR MONEY ROLL UP IN THE BANK The association is pleased to announce that the South Atlantic Medical Association will hold its regular meeting hereafter at the association rooms. On to-morrow, at 5 p. m., at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, the regular meeting of men will be held. The special address will be delivered by Rev. W. Bolvar Davis, pastor of the Second Baptist Church. All men are invited to be present. While our hearts were bowed in sorrow and humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father in taking our loved one, Mrs. Mattie Smith Johnson, to His beautiful abode in Paradise; many of our friends did many things to comfort us in our hour of grief, we are taking this method of thanking each of our friends who contributed to our comfort in our hour of greatest grief.

Many friends together with relatives witnessed the wedding. On the spacious porch a large arch was formed in front of the door and was beautifully decorated with flowers and lighted with candles which was a beautiful scene The guests formed a semi-circle around the porch in the front yard, awaiting the appearance of the bride and her party. At 8:30 o'clock and without the sound of music, the doors were opened and the first to appear was the bride accompanied by the groom's attendant. They were followed by the matron of honor after which came the bride and her father, who was met at the altar by the groom and his best man. The flowers of the bride were white carnations and ferns and those of her attendants were pink carnations and ferns. The dresses were beautiful.

Pilgrim Company Holds Spirited Contest and Delightful Outing The outing to Daufuskie Island on Friday of last week by the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company was a very delightful, affair and was attended by over five hundred. At the dinner given on the boat by the company awards for the winners in the contest, held at the local office, were made and several ringing speeches were made by the speakers. The contest which ended Thursday of last week resulted in the following: Highest individual amount collected, S. S. Singfield; W. H. Johnson, highest per cent collected; T. H. Hamilton, largest amount of new business. There were several prominent out-of-town guests present: Genl. Manager W. S. Hornesby, Augusta; Col Paul Davis, Macon; W. S. Walker, Atlanta and Dr. G. N. Stoney, Augusta. Supt. Slugfield and the agency force received many compliments for the pleasant outing and the occasion was one of genuine merriment from the time the boat left the wharf in the morning until the return at night.

M. 8:30: After devotions, Drs. E. P. Johnson and D. D. Crawford were received and introduced as fraternal delegates from the General (new) convention. Each made impressive talks. Both were responded to by Rev. E. H. Quo, S. T. B., in a short address, which met the approval of all. Pres. W. R. Forbes, D. D. then delivered his supposed-to-be last annual address. It was virtually an oration over the open grave of the Missionary (old) convention, the old ship upon whose decks the bravest and best of the Bee- churches fought, won battle; and died, viz. Love, McNeal, Jones, Manson, Sprattin, N. B. Williamson and many others. Wednesday Afternoon Session Wednesday afternoon was taken up with general routine. At this time there were only two avowed candidates for the presidency of the convention to be: Rev. P. James Bryant, D. D. of Atlanta and Dr. C. T. Walker, D. D., Augusta, both of the General (new) convention. The followers of each were on the lookout for surprises from the opposition. This watchfulness caused somewhat of a flurry during the afternoon, when the purport of a resolution introduced by Prof. W. M. Reddick, was not sufficiently clear to some. An exposition to the resolution was sought and when it seemed as the there was a disposition on the part of the moovers to have it adopted without explanation, B. J. Davis, Atlanta, and E. J. Carter, Valdosta, among others were on their feet immediately and made a hard successful fight for full explanation, after which the resolution was passed and all officers of the convention would therefore be continued or held over until such time when the legal transfer of reality, etc., could be made to the new body, Thursday's Session Thursday morning and afternoon, general routine and introduction of visitors took place. The visitors present were: Rev. L. G. Gordon, D. D., secretary Foreign Mission Board, National Baptist Convention, who was given $50 for his work; and Rev. D. Booker, secretary of Home Board, who also received $20; Dr. L. C. Morris, president National Baptist Convention, who was endorsed for the presidency of the National Baptist Convention which meets in Chicago in September to succeed himself. Thursday 8:30 p.m. Both conventions met in the autitorium Thursday night, their first joint meeting, a kind of fraternalizing meeting with glad-hand speeches, etc. Prof. M. W. Reddick had been appointed to speak for the Missionary (old) Convention and Dr. P. James Bryant for the General (new) Convention. After song service and devotions, a statement from each side outlining the history of the get-to-goether movement, Prof. Reddick was introduced to one of the finest and most animating audiences of about 5,000 people that could have been gathered together in the entire country. The occasion was certainly one of the most auspicious that has ever present itself to a speaker of our race, the uniting of the representatives of four hundred thousand and of our people. Fortunate is the man who has such an opportunity and happy must be he who acquits himself well. Prof. Reddick spoke as the occasion demanded. Understanding the gravity of his mission, and remembering that the hope and ambition of the entire membership of the old convention, more than two hundred thousand strong, were centered in him, he hore valiantly the burden imposed upon him and delivered one of the eloquent speeches of the entire convention was made by him, and won the presidency of the united bodies. After much hand-shaking congratulations and cheering, Dr. P. James Bryant, D. D. Atlanta was presented to the audience to voice the sentiments of the General Convention, Dr. Bryant's reputation as a speaker was already made and every one expected nothing less than a 4-ply address from him. Immediately after Dr. Bryant finihed speaking, Dr. C. T. Walker's partisans claiming that Dr. Bryant took advantage of his being on the program to make a personal campaign speech, put up a persistent and prolonged demand that Dr. Walker also be heard. They were ruled out of order by the chair, Dr. Walker, however, stepped to the front of the platform and quoted, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together," bowed and retired. Friday Morning 8:30 O'clock. On Friday morning an uplifting song service took place, followed by devotions with Rev. S. S Broadmax of Thom asville leading. The temporary organization was next in order, and at once there commenced some good natured parliamentary sparring for position. Dr.E. C. Morris among others was offered for temporary chairman. The point was made that the original articles of the agreement provided that the presidents of the old bodies should preside alternately, morning and afternoon respectively. This was sustained, Dr. Morris having declined in the meantime. Dr. W. R. Forbes by virtue of his office in the Old Convention, assumed the chair. Considerable time was consumed in adopting the new constitution, there being many amendments offered and much debate. Afternoon Session. 2 O'clock. Dr. Forbes was still in the chair, and the time having arrived for the election of permanent officers, there was much anxiety among the friends and followers of Dr. Walker and Dr. Bryant. The most of them apparently not knowing "where they were at," were much confused, while those of the Old convention, who had no candidate up to this time, were merely interested on-lookers and well-wishers. It had been tacitly agreed by the leaders of the Old Convention, that the presidency should be allowed to go to the General (New) Convention. A resolution had been passed in each convention, while sitting alone, to the effect that the officers of the united body should be paired in respect to their importance, viz: whichever side won the presidency, the other was to have the corresponding secretaryship without opposition, and thus on down the line, selecting alternately. However, notwithstanding this agreement, just five minutes before the call for nominations, the Old Convention group decided to nominate Prof. M. W. Reddick and take first pick, he being placed in nomination by Rev. S. S. Broadnax. Rev. A. W. Williams nominated Dr. C. T. Walker and Dr. C. S. Wilkins offered Dr. P. J. Bryant. At this juncture there arose a slightly acremonious debate on the question as to whether the election should be settled by a majority or plurality vote. During the little flurry, Dr. Bryant stepped to the edge of the platform and in a few well-choen words, thanked his friends for their support and encouragement, and withdrew from the race, for the sake of harmony. The balloting proceeded and resulted in the election of Prof. Reddick as president. When the organization was completed there had fallen to the Old Convention the president, Prof. M. W. Reddick, Americus; secretary, A. S. Staley, Americus; treasurer, W. R. Forbes, Macon. A majority of the auditors, an equal number of the district vice-presidents and an equal number of chairmanships, secretaries of boards and committee assignments also went to the Old Convention. To the General (New ) Convention went the following offices: Vice-president-at-large, Dr. C. T. Walker, Augusta; Assistant Secretary, Prof. Brown, Athens; Corresponding Secretar, Rev. D. D. Crawford, an equal number of di-trief vice-presidents, and other assignments. The General State Convention met at Mt. live Baptist Church, Dr. D. D. Crawford in charge. Dr. W. J. Johnson the president, having died since the last meeting and Dr. J. M. Moore, Griffin, Ga., next in succession having sustained a broken led a few days since could not be present. Dr. Crawford made a few helpful remarks. Rev. W. M. Pulllam preached the convention sermon, Rev. Dunn preached the missionary sermon, to the satisfaction of all. Among others attending the General convention not herein before mentioned may be noted, Dr. E. R. Carter, Atlanta; Rev. D. W. Cannon, Atlanta; Rev. W. M. Bryant, Griffin; Rey. G. W. Harrison, Augusta; Rev. J. T. Saxon, Milledgeville. There were also delightful welcome addresses which were responded to by Prof. C. H. Haynes, Atlanta. Local Delegation The local delegation received fair recognition. Rev. Wm. Gray, first district vice-president; Rev. Goodall secretary of reformatory board and other creditable committee assignments. The two women's conventions met in nearby churches and perfected a union along lines mapped out by the men. The president of the new body is Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant the vice president, Mrs. S. J. Fluker. The other offices were distributed among the ladies of the two conventions. It is hoped that the benefits which are expected to flow from the union will be both large and permanent. At any rate, it will be possible to prosecute the work of the convention to the extent of almost compelling success, by employing more systematic plans, thereby cutting out considerable lost motion and misdirected energy. By combining offices where possible it will ensure larger net gains by reducing cost of operation. It will bring to the rank and file of Baptists of the state prideful consciousness of the strength which being united will suggest. It will bring to us of Georgia gla a larger voice in the councils of the National Baptist Convention and its work. It will enable us to demand a larger respect for the rules, regulations, doctrines and practices of our church; from the careless indifferent do-as-you please members, also from churches and associations of like dispositions. Having no opposition, church, association and constitution to shield them, all will have to give satisfaction or go over the line completely. It will bring to our sister churches of other faiths as well as the Negro as a whole the moral influence and stamina which must necessarily flow from such a getting together. It robs the race's enemies of at least one illustration when they would stress the Negro's natural propensity and predisposition to fight and schatch, thereby weakening themselves to the delight of those who would keep them weak. The convention whose name is now "The General Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia", adjourned to meet Tuesday after the second Lord's day in November next, at Wheat Street Baptist Church, Atlanta, Dr. P. James Bryant, pastor. E. H. QUO COMMENCEMENT ECHOES The Conference By Edgar H. Webster, Principal Normal Dept. Atlanta University. In book-stores, as in barber-shops, customers get attached to special sales-men, and as a clerk at one time, I was fortunate in controlling a number of interesting and agreeable hook-buyers. Among these I recall a young man with dark wavy hair, clear complexion and red cheeks, bright blue eyes, and a sort of Murillo's "Spanish Boy" manner, which made him very attractive. He purchased his books with the air of a man whose income was limited, and I learned that he was a book-keeper. We were sufficiently familiar with each other, that one morning with an unusual happy smile he told me that he was no longer a boy but a man, and that on the evening previous he had united his fortunes with those of "the best woman in the world". Later I learned that my customer while to the business world simply a book-keeper, was well known in the field of science, being a member of all the Botanical societies this side of Russia, and an authority throughout the world upon sea-weeds. And I had treated him familiarly. I wonder how many people know that in Atlanta there was for some years a young colored man teaching, who was an authority among biologists, and who had done some extremely creditable work in his specialty, work which had been committed to print, and was recognized by those who know. Similarly I wonder how many of the sixty thousand Negroes of Atlanta, or for that matter of the hundred thousand or more of its white population know that for twenty years the Atlanta University has been not merely a place for the dissemination of knowledge, but a school of research. And that the Atlanta Sociological Studies upon Negro problems are a valuable contribution toward a solution of the situation in which we find ourselves. So true is this, that whenever a student of Negro problems whether white or colored, enters upon his work he seeks at the outset to get in touch with the Atlanta University reports, or with the Department of Sociology, itself. The conference set itself certain definite studies to be followed for a series of years, and then the studies to be repeated after an interval of ten years, to find the effect of time upon the problem. The studies comprise such as the following: Mortality Among Negroes, Social and Physicial Conditions Among Negroes, Some Efforts of Negroes for Social Betterment, The Negro in Business, The College Bred Negro, The Negro Common Schools, The Negro Artisan, The Negro Church, Negro Crime. I have attended each of the twenty conferences to date. I have listened to many addresses from the conference platform, some of these by distinguished speakers; something stands out in my mind, I remember distinctly the first conference on "Negro Mortality". The figures were discouraging. Negro mortality was largely in excess of white mortality. At the close, one of the strong men of the race came to me and said: "If these are the facts, they damage us as a race, and they should not be stated." "But" I replied, "the only way to remedy a situation is to know the facts." He replied with a good deal of heat. "But these facts will hurt our insurance." Ten years later, the conference upon "Health and Physique of Negro Americans" showed a marked gain for the Negroes in mortality statistics, a result due in part at least to the frank statement of the facts in the earlier conference. It is a truism of political economy. that the renter pays the tax. The Atlanta Conference was not the first body to recognize this truth, but it was the first to state this as a truth with regard to Negro taxes. And the conference went so far as to state that "if it be true that the renter pays the taxes, then it follows that the Negroes have paid in taxes all and more than all that has been returned to them in their public schools. When this pronunciamento was first made, it was laughed at by north as well as by south. Atlanta University has over-shot the mark. "The white south has in forty years taxed itself a hundred million and more for schools for Negroes, and to this the Negro had contributed but a woeful pittance. It fell to earth I know not where; For who hath sight so keen and strong That it can follow the flight of a And the song from beginnig to end, I found at last in the heart of a friend" So the truth that the Negro taxes pay for his schooling gradually made its way into public consciousness, and is to-day generally accepted. And yet, this is not true everywhere. Within twelve months, a southern educator said to me: "You cannot expect that. half of the community that pays 95 per cent of the taxes to do much for the other half that pays only 5 per cent of the taxes." And to my rejoinder, that 'rent pays taxes' he replied, "Well, that is the argument anyway." Perhaps the most interesting of the conferences have been upon "The College-Bred Negro." I recall a conversation with the late Colonel Pledger, in which he stated with a touch of pride: "The quittuates of Atlanta University are as honorable a company as the graduates; and they have made a good deal more money." The remark is doubtless a true one, and emphasises two things that the conference upon the college Negro developed. First, the college graduates of the race are not large in number; and second, in the main they have not devoted themselves to money-making pursuits. A quotation from the report tells this: "The Negro College came in response to the demand for teachers for the freedman and their children. For less than fifty years the work has been carried forward and that with remarkable results. From the ranks of the college-bred have come many of the teachers and leaders and professional men and women of the Negro race in this country." The total number of college graduates is a very small fraction of the race. Perhaps the most hopeful element in the situation lies in the fact that the college men increase faster than the population increases. The following tabulation shows this. The number of graduates for the decade beginning 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900, are as follows 44, 313, 738, 1,126, 1,613. The gains per decade are in the ratios 8.21.2, 11.2, 11.2. If this should keep up for the decade beginning 1910 the number in that ten years will reach 2,400. To a large extent the standards of a people come from its educated classes. The hope here, is that the educated class will continue to increase faster than the population. It is not that too many Negroes go to college; it is, that too few go. I attended recently the funeral of a young Atlanta woman; a woman who had fought a good fight; who had kept her head above the water, and who in passing left a fragrant memory of good deeds behind. As I thought thru her life, I wondered to what extent she was sacrificed to the tremendous stresses under which our young colored people endeavor to hold their own and to rise. The stresses within the family, an education, for decent living, for social recognition. And I find the matter stated so well in the latest published report of the conference, entitled, "Morals and Manners Among Negro Americans", that I copy a phrase. "One can sense a strain to live according to the higher American standards on a wage below the American standards. This leads to crime and laxity. But the fight is being bravely made." Luck.

HART Manufacturer MARCHING ON BOSTON The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business League will be celebrated at Boston Massachusetts, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18th, 19th and 20th 1915. The Boston Local Negro Business League of Cambridge, is hard at work perfecting arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who are planning to be present. Aside from the regular business session of the League, the social side of the convention will not be neglected. A guarantee fund has already been secured for the purpose of financing every feature of the entertainment and reception of the delegates. Historic Boston, with its many traditions in-tantly connected with the life and history of the Negro people, and particularly with the movement which led to their freedom and enfranchisement, is a Mecca toward which our race should from time to time turn. It was in Boston that the first meeting of the League was held in August 23rd and 24th, 1900; and in holding the meeting there this year, it will fittingly celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the League, afford an opportunity for "taking stock"—an inventory, as it were—of racial progress and development since the organization of the League; and fortified by accumulated knowledge and experiences of these years, the business men and women of the race may face the future with greater inspiration and a firmer grasp of the complex problems of modern business. Gains by the Race in Fifteen Years In 1900 when the National Negro Business League was organized, there were about 20,000 Negro businesses enterprises; now there are 45,000. In 1900 there were two Negro banks; now there are 51. In 1900 Negroes were running 250 drug stores; now they have 605. In 1900 there were 450 undertaking businesses operated by Negroes; now there are about 1,000. In 1900 there were 149 Negro merchants engaged in wholesale businesses; now there are 240. In 1900, fifteen years ago, there were 10,000 Negro retail merchants; now there are 25,000. Further Economic Progress In the fifteenth year since the National Negro Business League was organized, farm property owned by Negroes has made a remarkable increase. From 1900 to 1910, the value of domestic animals owned by Negro farmers increased from $5,261,337 to $177,273,785, or 107 percent; poultry from $3,788,792 to $5,113,756 or 36 per cent; implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $36,861,418, or 98 per cent; land and buildings form $60,636,420 to $273,501,665 or 293 per cent. In ten years the total value of farm property owned by Negroes increased from $177,404,688 to $192,892,218, or 177 per cent. Special Railroad Accommodations Arrangements are already being made for the comfort of delegates who intend to attend the meetings. A National Negro Business League special train, which will carry delegates from the far South to the Boston meeting, is already being planned for and, in addition, arrangements will also be made for our friends from the West, with Chicago as the center, to make the trip to Boston in a body. Further details with reference to these arrangements will be published shortly. The officers of the affiliated organizations of the National Negro Business League, including the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Bankers' Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, the National Negro Bar Association and the National Men are each individually planning their several programs so as to add interest and to make them constructively worth while. Further information as to detailed plans for the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from Booker T. Washington, Pres. J. C. Napier, Chairman Executive Committee, Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian Church, East Broad and McDonough streets; Rev S. T. Redd, pastor; residence 213 East Broad street.

It is a mistake to suppose that salt used as a preservative is fatal to mil microbes, for the bacilli of typhus, tuber culosis and several other diseases thrive all the better when placed in brine. Blood contains much salt, and this does not prevent microbes from multiplying in it. Dr. Rappin of the Nantes Pasteur institute counted 30,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter in the concentrated brine used for salting fish. Preservatives and bactericides are different things. Salt preserves from decay, but kills no microbes. The Truly Reticent Woman- Speak of a reticent woman and most people picture to themselves a woman who doesn't talk much. But the truly reticent woman—the woman who makes reticence an art—is not at all silent. She talks with apparently the greatest candor, so that people go away from her saying what a frank, genial woman she is. And no one ever suspects, unless he or she is phenomenally clever, that the genial conversationalist had all sorts of unspoken things in her mind.—Exchange. Dancing on Talcum Powder. It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is laid over this, and talcum powder is sprinkled upon it every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The sheemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles.—New York World. Barber a Man of Strength. "I suppose that most people," said a barber. "would consider plying the shears and razor as comparatively easy work; they would not expect to find barbers men of muscle. "The fact is that standing all day and even in the easier parts of his work using his arms all day in various positions the barber keeps his muscles in constant exercise, while in such operations as shampooing and massage he is called upon for the exertion of downright strength. "He may not have the muscle of a man always in strict training, but I think you would find that, as a rule, the barber is no weakling."—New York Sun.

SINGFIELD, General Supt VN SHOPPING Hosiery SUNDAY SCHOOL. Text of the Lesson, Ps. Ixxviii, 65-72. Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Ezek. xxxiv, 15—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—The resurrection, Mutt, xxviii, 1-10. Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 15-20. "Now bath Christ been raised from the dead." In some respects the resurrection of Christ is the greatest event in all history, for and He not risen from the dead His life and death would have been no benefit to us (I Cor. xv, 14-1S). The kingdom promised to David needs an immortal man as king, one alive from the dead. LESSON II.-David anointed king, I Sam. xvl, 4-13. Golden Text, I Sam. xvl, 7. "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart." In the case of Saul God gave the people a man after their heart, but now He chooses a man after His own heart (chapter xll, 14; Acts xll, 22), the most unlikely, humanly speaking, of all the eight sons, but the Lord's own choice, and He is still looking for hearts that are whole toward Him. LESSON III.-The shepherd psalm, Ps. xxiii. Golden Text, Ps. xxiii. 1, "Jehovah is my shepherd." Consider all the shepherd and shepherdess stories and then see the Lord Jesus as the good shepherd, the great shepherd, the chief shepherd and the shepherd who shall yet gather all Israel and feed them in a good pasture (John x; Heb. xiii; I P; v; Ezek. xxxi. 14, 15). Such a shepherd can never let HIs sheep lack any good thing. LESSON $ ^{0} $ IV.—David and Gollath, I Sam, xvii, 38-51. Golden Text, Rom. vill. 31. "If God is for us, who is against us?" Truly a fearless shepherd, to whom the living God, though invisible, was more real than the visible mass of flesh and blood in the form of Goliath. His great desire being that all the earth might know that the God of Israel was the true God and that His name might be honored and not reproached. LESSON V.—Saul tries to kill David, I Sam. xix, 1-12. Golden Text. Prov. xxix, 25. "Whoso puteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe." From the day that the women ascribed more glory to David than to Saul, Saul was jealous of him and sought to kill him, but God delivered him not into his hand (chapters xvill, 7-9; xxill, 14). Back of it all the reason is seen in Saul's disobedience and in his allowing an evil spirit to take possession of him (xvil, 14). LESSON VI.—Friendship of David and Jonathan, I Sam. xx, 32-42. Golden Text. Prov. xvill, 17. "A friend loveth at all times." Consider how their souls were knit together from the day of David's victory over Gollath until David said after Jonathan's death, "Thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of woman" (II Sam. 1, 20). Yet such friendship was but a faint type of the love of Jesus Christ to us. Lesson VII.—David spares Saul, I Sam, xxv1, 5-16. Golden Text, Luke vi. 27. "Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you." At least twice David had Saul wholly in his power, but refused to lay a finger on him to harm him. It was just the same on David's part when he was cursed and stoned by Shimel; he would allow no one to harm him, but just left him to God. LESSON VIII.—David king over Judah and Israel. II Sam. 11, 1-7: v, 1-5. Golden Text, Ps. xxviii. 7: "Jehovah is my strength and shield. My heart hath trusted in Him and I am helped." In due time the Lord accomplishes every purpose of His, according to Jer. 11, 29; Ps. xxxii. 11; Eph. 1, 11, and so David became king over all Israel and went on and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him (v, 5, 10). Just as surely Jesus Christ shall sit on David's throne in due time. LESSON IX.—David brings the ark to Jerusalem. II Sam. v12-15. Golden Text, Ps. cxxii. 1, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah." The story of the Ark of the Covenant always suggests the presence of God and His provision of perfect righteousness for sinful man. I think it the most wonderful type of the Lord Jesus in the Bible. LESSON X.-Nathan rebukes David, II Sam. xl. 22-xl. 7a. Golden Text, Ps. ll. 10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God." A sad lesson on the deceitfulness and desperate wickedness of the human heart even in such a chosen vessel as David. There is no perfect man in all the Bible story but Jesus of Nazareth, the Lamb of God without blemish and, without spot, holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners. LESSON XI.-The blessedness of forgiveness, Ps. xxxl. Golden Text, Ps. xxxl. 1, "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." How great and all sufficient is the sacrifice on Calvary which can put away transgression, sin, iniquity and guile. Then He becomes our home to dwell in, where we are safe from all enemies and our guide through all the wilderness of this world. LESSON XII. - A prayer for the tempted, Ps. exil. Golden Text, Ps. exil. 9. "Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me." He who forgives and saves is able also to keep and to guard even from stumbling. He is able to control the tongue which no man can tame. He is nigh to all who call upon Him in truth. The Secret of a Good Figure often lies in the brassiere. Hundreds of thousands of women wear the Bien-Jolie Brassiere for the reason that they regard it as necessary as a corset.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER raking to be done, the little bunch of Negro business men in this community remarks the matter was turned over to the Vigilant Committee, Rev. Wm. The Negro business men in this community are putting forth the best endeavors in them to break down and discoarage as much as possible any and every thing which shows the sligest semblance of factional feelings or petty differences which have their origin in little narrow contracted souls and lives, grow and prosper best upon mean and selfish thoughts. In every community matters not how hard and unselfish a certain element might be working for the best interest of all the people who are trying to do things worth while, these are to be found these little sledge-hammer animals who are working over time, night and day hammering away upon some good and landable cause, trying to stop it; when the light blows from their little hammers have about as much effect in impeding such progress, as the little ant had upon the big elephants snout in its little mad endeavor to put the elephant out of business; but to the discomfiture of the little ant the big elephant went right along in the even tenor of his way, not even knowing that his little would be enemy had ever contemplated giving him a sting upon his big trunk. The Negro business men in this\community who do things have long since come to the conclusion that opposition help them to discover themselves as much as hard training prepares the athlete to meet his formidable foe upon the field, which gives the athlete an opportunity to pit his own superior strength and endurance against that of another who had similar training to that of himself. Determined to Succeed Any How The business men in this community have opened their mouths and made a vow to tread all the powers of darkness down and win for themselves and the race the recognition which they feel that they are entitled to, which will not only keep themselves in jobs and enable them to make a living for those who are dependent them for support, but will be the means of furnishing employment for deserving young men and young women who are coming in large numbers from our various schools and colleges, who have spent years in training for the great battle of bread winning. Therefore, the Negro business men in this community have decided not to allow any little petty or factional feelings be the means of deserving young man or young woman being denied an opportunity of making a decent living upon a job furnished by the co-operation, brain and money of their kith and kin. While the Negro business element in this community may not be bothered with this little pest which is commonly called envy as much as some other communities, and yet, in the spirit of fairness to all concerned, we are frank to admit that we too, like other communities, have more of it than we want or need. Of all the races in this country who may feel disposed to find fault with each other and to pick flaws with one another's success and in short, to be envious of one another, we, the child race in this country, can less afford it than any other race. If there are any skeletons to be brought out of the Negro's closets, if there is any soil linen to put on exhibition, or if there be any silime slinging or muck MRS. AURELIA E. ALLEN'S SEWING CLASS. raking to be done, the little bunch of Negro business men in this community have long since decided that job would be freely given over to the other fellow whose training and peculiar surroundings had fitted him for such work; while they would continue to press forward, endeavoring to lift as they climb, preaching the gospel of good cheer, hope. Negro manhood rights, decent living, more Negro enterprises, better support given those which we have, faithfulness on the job and faith and confidence in the men and women of the race who stand for these things in their lives, as well as by their words. The little anecdote given above is the remedy offered by the Negro business League for the loathsome disease of envy which has filled so many untimely Negro business graves in all sections of this, our common country. Jealousy, and Awful Affliction Jealousy always works to the everlasting detriment of that individual who is little enough to cherish and entertain it. In speaking of jealosy and its baneful effects upon the human heart, we are reminded of a good story told on two young men who went west in the pioneer days of that country in search of gold. For some unexplained reason these young men became enemies because one, whose name was John, succeeded in procuring more of the yellow metal than George, his erstwhile friend. One night while George was out trying to fill his wallet with the shining gold, he lost his way and discovered that he was in a dense swamp amidst the wild beasts, mosquitoes, frogs, etc. George realizing his awful predicament, began to yell, "I'm lost". John hearing the cries, recognizing George's voice, went out at once with a light and stood upon a high hill and called out to George, "Come this way," George at once made for the light, turned deliberately around and went back into the dark swamp and continued to cry "I'm lost", until at last he was devoured by some ravenous beast. All because he had allowed himself to be jealous and to hate. The Savannah branch of the National Negro business league pleads with the people of this community to throw all of their influences against anything which savors hate and jealousy and down-right littleness. There are the sentiments of the Negro Business League, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday nights in each month. Come early and bring a friend. RELIGIOUS CONCERTS A series of religious concerts will be demonstrated in religious moving pictures and other biblical and historical scenes will be exhibited in churches thrust out the city for the purpose of raising funds to build an old folks home.
