The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI Improved Order Samaritans Met Here AT DUFFY STREET HALL DURING WEEK Over 200 Delegates in Attendance —Order in Excellent Condition—Officers Re-elected The Improved Order of Samaritans of the state of Georgia met here in its eighteenth annual session on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week at the Duffy Street hall and was presided over by Grand Chief H. Gulle. On Monday the delegates began to arrive and at the opening of the session on Tuesday morning about 200 were recorded. The public exercise was held at First Bryan Baptist Church on Tuesday night, and was largely attended. Mr. W. H. Burgess acted as master of ceremonies and the annual address was delivered by Prof. T. K. Perseley of Macon, Ga. The reports of the officers showed the order to be in an excellent financial condition with an increase in membership. The report of the auditors showed a cash balance of $7,867.67 and further showed that the order paid out for 85 death claims since the last session, $10,000. Of the amount of cash on hand, more than one thousand dollars was placed on deposit with the Wage Earners bank of this city. The meeting was harmonious and much profitable business was transacted. Prominent among the transactions were the adoption of the plans for the erection of a building in Athens, Ga.. at the cost of about $27,000. All the officers were re-elected as follows: G. W. Giles, P. G C.; Rev. H Gulle, G. C.; J. S Slappy, G V. C.; Dr W H Harris, G S; G H Cunningham, G T; Auditors—W H. Burgess, J. S. Moody, W. E. Ridley. AT THE X. M. C. A. Sunday's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. was unusually interesting. Mr. Chas. R. Peterson, a native of the West Indies, made the principal address which was both interesting and inspiring. The regular meeting of the board of directors was held at the quarters on last Wednesday night. On Thursday night at the headquarters, an impromptu Y. M. C. A. smoker was held. Saturday and Sunday of this week is "Tag-Day" for the Y. M. C. A. It is hoped that every citizen of Savannah will be tagged on these days in the interest of the association. On tomorrow the general discussion will be on "How may I increase my christian faith," led by vice president I. M. Jackson. On Sunday, November 14, at St. Paul at 5 p.m. a ladies auxiliary to the Y. M. C. A will be organized. This meeting will be given entirely to the organization of the ladies' branch. There will be a football game between the Y. M. C. A.'and the Urban League on November 15th at the baseball park, game called at 3:30, admission 15 cents MRS. SHEPHERD VISITS NEGRO BUSINESS HOUSES Mrs. W .E. Shepherd, of Madison, Ga., who was in the city last week attending the Confederation of Women's Clubs, of which she is a state officer, had an occasion while here to visit the business of Henry Mears, the leading Negro feed merchant in the city. Mr. Mears, during his early life, was employed as butler in the home of Mrs. Shepherd who took a keen interest in his welfare. It is mainly through the training which Mr. Mears received in the Shepherd home that he owes his present standing in the commercial life of the Negroes of Savannah. Mrs. Shepherd who was much pleased to note the progress which her former butler had made, was shown many of the leading Negro enterprises by him, among them being the Wage Earners bank and The Tribune. REPUBLICAN CLUB ORGANIZED The young men's Republican club was organized on Last Thursday night. The meeting was held at the Piney Wood club and was presided over by Mr. W. W. Mumphries. It was well attended and much interest was manifested in the movement. The next meeting will be held on Thursday night the 18th and it is earnestly hoped that every registered voter in the city and those who are not registered that are in sympathy with the movement will be out. The meeting will be held at the same place, Waldburg and Burroughs streets. QUITE A SUCCESS What was perhaps the most brilliant affair of its kind ever held in this city was the Hallowsen masquerade ball promoted by some members of the younger social set at St. Mary's hall last Friday night. To Messrs Gaillard, Habersham, Tolbert and Ashton goes the bulk of the credit for the success of the entertainment. It was their untiring efforts and attention to the minutest detail which enabled the guests to so thoroughly enjoy themselves. The hall, with decorations most descriptive of Hallowe'en, tastily arranged by the girls, and the guests, gorgeously attired in costumes representing every imaginable character, presented a most pleasing spectacle, and one long to be remembered by all who were present. The disguises were, without exception, excellent, and the imperonations very cleverly acted, which rendered identification extremely difficult. The guests began arriving early and at once proceeded to make merry. Promptly at twelve o'clock the grand march, led by Mrs. Gaillard and Mr. Glvens, was started, at the conclusion of which all masks were lifted, which instantly brought forth many exclamations of surprises and astonishment. Refreshments such as are customarily served during the Halloween season, were on hand in abundance, the cake being daintly wrapped in packages, and individual drinking cups being used to serve punch. The refreshments were served by Mrs. M. E. Tolbert and Mrs. Catherine Gaillard. As Indians quas the following were cleverly disguised: Miss Edith Crogman. Miss Huttie Jones, Mrs. Cohen. Mrs. Sue Perry and Mrs. E. Williams. Miss Esther Clark. Miss May Boston. Miss Rohena Gaillard and Miss Clifford Allen repreented Gypies Miss Mae Stewart, Miss Ophelia Lee, and Mrs. Dollie Scott each appeared as Queen of Hearts. As Egyptians Miss Lucille Price and Lucille Spencer were very attractive. Miss Clinton Dingle appeared as a Hindu. Miss Ione Monroe looked very charming as an Arabian, the costume being complete in every detail. Miss Laurie Green and Mrs. John Brooks carried out the spirit of Hallowe'en by appearing as witches. The costume of a Mexican lady of high rank gave Miss Lucille Tucker quite a stately appearance. Miss Mildred Jones as an Italian peasant, was decidedly charming. Miss Helen Lee went as "America" in a costume of red, white and blue. Miss Margurite Roston, as a Turk, was cleverly disguised. Miss Lottie Cargile was very becoming dressed as a Spanish rose maid. Miss Amanda Jones was a Yama-Yama girl in orange and black. Miss Edna Price represented the character beloved of childhood, "Little Red Riding Hood." Mrs. J. R. Davis wore a multi-colored dress, representing a rainbow. Mrs. Eugene Edwards as a Japanese was very pleasing. Miss Edith Bythewood, as "Folly" was delightful. Mrs. J. Jackson represented "Death." Mrs. Ruby Josephs went as a trained nurse. Mrs. Albert Jackson appeared as a Brazilian girl. Mrs. Paul White wore the costume of a "cow-girl." Mrs. John Baker attired in a male costume was splendid. Miss Florence Callen as an old lady with a hundred pockets was good. Mr. Tacitus Gaillard as a Mexican gentleman made a striking picture. Mr. Sam Brown and Mr. Eugene Williams as farmers were very good. Mr. John Carr went as a Monk and Mr. Sam Parker as a Hindu High Priest. Mr. James Monroe's costume as an Indian was complete, in the corner of the hall he pitched his wigwam, making the picture very real. Mr. John Baker appealed as a country beau. Prof. James Lemon and Mr. Frank Dilworth, as army officers, looked very soldierly. Mr. Duncan Scott's disguise as a dignified Quaker was very good. Mr. Edgar Habersham went as King Iamit. Mr. Andrew McDowell, Mr. Agile Blackshear, Mr. Pierre Gaillard and Mr. James Maynor made merry as clowns. Mr. Valdore Giles went as a convict and the novelty of his costume caused much amusement. There were also numerous other costumes worthy of note that added much humor to the occasion. Y. M. C. A.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6TH, 1915 DR. W. B. EVANS FILES SUIT AGAINST WASHINGTON BOARD OF EDUCATION Other Important News Items About Folks at the Nations Capitol Washington, D. C., Nov 4—The newest "bomb" in the school situation is the petition for a writ of mandamus filed by Dr. Wilson Broce Evans, to compel the Board of Education to show cause why it should not reinstate the petitioner as principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school and assistant director of night schools of the District, two positions which he held for years and with credit and distinction and from which he claims he has been injustly and improperly removed. Dr. Evans was separated from the service of the Washington schools in November 1912, upon recommendation of Assistant Superintendent Rosde Conkling Bruce to Supt. W. M. Davidson, then the head of the local system. Justice W. P. Stafford, of the District Supreme Court, has issued an order to the nine members of the board, in compliance with Dr. Evans' petition, and within a short time the case will be called for a formal hearing. Dr. Evans, for the present, is acting as his own attorney and presented a brief of the case that is remarkable for its strength of statement and the logic of the conclusions reached as to the justice of his complaint. The members of the Board, who must now answer, by order of the court, questions they have declined to answer during the nearly three years that Dr. Evans has been appealing for his "day in court" are Henry P. Blair, president; Ernest H. Dahiel, William T. Gallither, John B. Larner, Green W. Childs. Fountain Peyton, Edith Kern, Susie Root Rhodes and Coralie F. Cook, Dr. Childs, Mrs. Cook and Mr. Peytoh are colored. The action is directed against the board as such and against each individual. The filing of the case in court has created a city-wide sensation and the sympathies of the population is decidedly with Dr. Evans. Dr Evans declared in his petition that his dismissal was the result of a conspiracy. He declares that no hearing was granted him, and that he was unable to learn the exact grounds for his dismissal, despite the fact that an act of Congress provides that whenever a teacher is on trial or being investigated, he shall be notified and furnished with a copy of the charges in writing; shall have the right of a fair trial, after five days notice, and shall be allowed to be represented by counsel, and have present during proceedings, at least one friend. All of those rights were denied him, Dr. Evans maintains. The petitioner states he was appointed a teacher in the public schools January 5, 1885. He says that during the years from 1911 to 1913 members of the board of education, without notice to him, secretly received and investigated charges against his moral character to the effect that he was addicted to drunkardness, that he was insubordinate, and that he was a user of narcotic drugs, and that he had made a false statement as to the enrollment in and needs of his school. He maintains that without trial, he was found guilty of every charge, and adds that on November 7, 1912, on the recommendation of Assistant Supt. Bruce, Supt. Davidson concurring, he was dismissed on a charge of "insufficient academic and pedagogic equipment." The petitioner states that his delay in filling suit has been due to the fact that he has been seriously ill as a result of the shock caused by his dismissal. He asks that the court grant him damage and cost. Mme Anita Patti Brown En Route To South America Mme Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, the distinguished coloratura soprano, who has earned the sobriquet, the "Bronz Tettrazzinl," has been spending the week here, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 1223 S street, northwest. She came from Cleveland, O., where she sang to a packed house at Cory M E. Chapel, and on Friday night she is scheduled for a concert at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. church, Baltimore, appearing under the auspices of Morgan College. On Sunday, Mme Brown received informally at the Thompson home, and among those who called were Judge and Mrs. Rob- MARKS OF MAPLE STREET SCHOOL NOT AVAILABLE Six Leaders Given Much Interest Manifested Last Year in Monthly Publication of Names by The Tribune—Many Parents will Send Paper with Children's Names to Friends in Other Cities. As has been the monthly custom for the past two years, The Tribune publishes to-day the names of the first six pupils in each grade of the public schools of the city for October. Much interest was manifested last year in the monthly publication of these names and the issues of The Tribune containing this valuable information were very much in demand. The interest in the publication of the six leading pupils in each grade was not only shown by the pupils whose names appeared each month but by their parents as well. Many of the latter in order to encourage their children, sent the papers in which their children's names appeared to their friends in distant cities and otherwise showed their appreciation of the excellent work done by their children. It will be noted that only the leading pupils in three of the four public schools appear in the list below The principal of the Maple Street school when asked for the names and figures of the pupils in his school said that the pupils there had not accomplished anything and for that reason he did not care to have the names of the leaders in the classes at his school published The monthly report cards giving the rating of the pupils and which are required by the board of education, were issued to the pupils of all the schools last Monday and in general were very commendable The average attendance in the schools for the month was good and the progress made by the children fair The following are the six leading pupils in the West Broad, East Broad and Cuyler Street schools: West Broad Street School Sixth grade—John Polhemus 97; Earlier Hayes 96; Albertina Mustipher 96; Hattle Slappy 93; Winfred Taylor 93; William Bailey 93 Fifth grade A—Wm.

Bowen, "The Real Estate Man", $^{1}$ business is fast becoming normal again. He sold two modern cottages on Florence street this week for $3,000' one each to Mr. J. H. Griffin and Mr. John Allen, who will in the near future occupy them; besides some lots in Cann Park. He states also that he has a number of prospective buyers for other property. His rental department grows daily. The real estate office is a good barometer for better times. SAVANNAH HOME ASSOCIATION Ladies day at Savannah Home Association reading room on last Sunday was fittingly observed. More than two hundred guests were entertained by the members of the association between the hours of three and seven o'clock.

Straight Lines Reap- | pearin the Box Coat Pleasing Variety in Sleeves with Indi. cations of a Return to Exag- gerated Size WHEN DOES A CUFF BECOME i A SLEEVE? New York, November 3.—The wealth of artistic and smart ideas in after- -noon and dress frocks this season, while fascinating, is somewhat bewild- ering, too. Of course the chicf features are the same, this Is out of respect to fashion's dictates, but there are any number of ways that one may vary these details effectively to meet the demands of one’s ‘own personality. Fashfon shows are hecoming as popular with women in general as any smart sgelal event. The dainty mannequins wear the clothes as if to “The Manor Born,” and perhaps a bit more gracefully. The Popularity of the Box Coat Since the first showing of fall and winter fashions there has been much disenssion as to wheather the regula- tion tallored suft with normal waist- tne, snugly fitted, would dominate; at first it srund as if it woutd, but sf 6 then there has been n decided change toward the looser, belted models, un- belted coats with a half suggestion of waistline, or stranger still, no waist at all, a return in short to the bor coat, ‘These box models are now very smart indeed; they appear in tailor-made sults, separate-coats, in fact, show the box back, even if the front of the coat is belted. ‘The effect of these unfitted coats Is a -bit more youthful than the fitted lines which remand beauty and grace to fig- ure. The French women appreciate the line that is most beoming to her figure, and in most instances this fs the straight line. Among the new frocks and suits there are, too, boleras and Etons that are really quite charming. These also are ; SD i ' iN ca The Modish Box Coat becoming to-the average figure. One seen at a recent fashion show was of gold lace, combined with: black charmeuse; it was on an afternoon frock,-and was simple fo a degree, but unusually attractive. Another of dark blue serge was made with square cut yoke, back and front, to which the low- er portion of the Eton was gathered, forming a soft, full line across the bust. being drawn snugly in at the watst, where it was stitched to a two-inch helt of the serge. The skirt also show- ed the yoke and was embrotdered with a chain-stitched design worked out in -silver threads at the joining of the yoke and lower portion of the skirt. ‘The same embroidery was carried ont on the jacket, on collar, fronts and belt. ‘The Necessary Touch of Fur One is talking of fashion must speak again and again.of fur—it is so abso- Tutely necessary to gown and suit that évery imaginable antmal that has a furry pelt, is heing utilized, and the furrlers are reaping a wonderful har- vest. Among the most popular furs for trimming purposes are benver, seal, and krimmer. The dark blue serge is sMartened with a touch of natural gray krimmer, and the satin finished broad- cloth is enriched by narrow and wide hands of seal or beaver. Interesting Skirt Lengths We have becom accustomed to the short street suit and frock; when not carried to the extreme, it is far more satisfactory than a long skirt, especial- ly with the vogue of the very wide skirt, We have become used also to the round length evening frock for dancing, and approve of its comfort- able common sense; but the formal dine ner frock, with its slinky, pointed train and its extremely short front is some- what disconcerting. One unusually striking model exhibited lately, de, yeloped in a wonderful brocade of Bianchini’s, was made with one of these extremely short skirts and a long, pointed, train; altogether rich and wonderful, the gown was startling and decidediy bizarre in effect. Much of the grace of the gown is sacrificed with these skirts. A Variety in Sleeves ; ‘There is a wide choice in style of sleeve for both house and street. cos- tume. The later models show 2 pro- nounced use of the sleeve set into the armhole with gathers. At present the vogue is for the moderately large sleeve with a’ slight exaggeration of fulness at Ko Ne ta i; AN , 1 A Krimmer Trimmed Serge the elbow and over the hand. The flare is decidely modish and there is almost no limit to the width of the flare. Slashing, trimmings, contrast- ing xodets, and panels, are details of the new enffs; and the cuff may be of any length, from the very narrow band cuff to the gauntlet whieh reaches to elbow and ‘even above, leaving one to wonder when the emf begins and the sleeves ends. Do these cuffs and gath- erings predict, perhaps, a return of the Dig Sleeves with their inside rufilles and handings of erinoline which aiade life su interesting some yours go? THE COLOR LINE AS IT APPEARS IN THE WEST INDIES” T recently visited five of the West Indi Iams, and I found conditions there <0 unlike these in the Tnited Nhutes that T think my experience may Ww of Interest to the readers of the American Missionary, I first visited Trinidad, which is owned by the English and is among the most prosperous of the islands. If is approximately 50 miles square, and contains 350,000 people of whom £30,000 are English, 70.000 Codlles from East India, and the balance Negroes and Mulattoes. ‘The principal city, Port of Spain, contains not far from 90,000. ‘The leading industry of the island fs raising cacao, and the present high price of chocolate makes this very profitable. On Euster Sunday, I attended the Scotch Prevbyterian church, which 1s the xecond church In the city In point of size and strength. There is a strong Seotch colony in the cits, and this furnishes the substantial element, but I found the audience about one-half white and oue-half colored, All were well dressed, and the colored people were scattered all through the church, though usually families sat together, which made the separate pews either white or colored, ax the case may be. It was communion Sunday and one of the elders was a well-dressed and highly respeetable colored man. T had a talk with the pastor after churely and he told me that in all church mat. ters there tras no color line, though socially the elements were quite dis- tinet. ‘The largest church onthe island is the Cathedral of the Church of Eng- land. where the governor and the other English officials attend. This was crowded at the Easter service, and over three-fourths of the andience were colored. The majority of the choir was colored and the “musician” of our party who was present, pronounced it the finest cholr she had ever heard. ‘This praise may have been extravagant, ‘but it was an unusually fine choir, There are two other Protestant church- es in the city, the Methodist and Bap- tist, besides Catholic churches, and all of these have mixed audiences, with the colored people largely in the ma- | jority. I could not learn that there was a distinctively colored church in ‘the city. ‘The colored peopte and es- pecially the children-as we saw them ‘on the streets, golng to chureb; loiked Gean and neat, and walked off with would find in a company of white children. ‘There is nd-gistinctive colored sec— tion of the city, as in American cities, but the colored people occupy houses in any’ part of the,city where the rent is within thelr, means. The Coolle population are “mostly segregated in ‘one section angfome of the poorer Ne- groes lve in of near that section. _ ‘The next day I visited the English ‘Island of Barbados, and there I fousid 2 x Ete people poorer and the porportion of blacks greater, but there was the same free mingling of the two races. Many of the houses were two room shacks, and the usual rent of these was 30 cents a week. This gives a measures of the poverty of the people and the’standard of living. ‘The next day brought.us to to Mar ‘tinique, a French island. The popu- Jation here Is almost.entirely Catholic and with the Catholics there is no color line In religion. The colored peo- ple here were several shades whiter ‘than at Barbados, which showed the free mixing of the races when the ‘white clement is French or Spanish, ‘than when it is English. _ A day Jater I visited the Danish fs- land of St. Thomas, and here the people ‘were nearly all colored and very black. ‘The Catholié-church*seemed te be the ‘moxt prominent. From St. Thomas I went to Ameri- can PortoRico, where the rainy season had just begun, and they were having their fourth rainy day. The second day I got a ride of 25 miles into the center of the island, and saw mauy of the typleal PortoRicans. There are really four classes in Porto Rico, x few Americans who hold sundry offices aud are engaged in trade of frult culture; afew hundred Spaniards who own Jarge tracts of land, and some sugar mills; 2 considerable population of Negroes and Mulattoes, congregated mostly in SanJuan and othe” coast ‘cities, and the real native Porto Ri- ‘cans, who make up the great bulk of the people throughout the Island. ‘These latter are the descendants of the early Spanish blood, and perhaps some Negro, but if so the whole bas been ‘Mlended so Jong, that! it is now quite ‘a distinct type in which the white ele- ment greatly predominates. When the Americans came to the is land sixteen years ago, there was but very little color Jine, but: now it is well established, It has probably been hastened by the presence of many of- ficlals from our Southern states, Even the ¥, M,C.

What Is the reason for the difference! hetween Trinidad and such cities as Charleston,.. Jacksonville. and. New York? Slavery existed in the West Indies the same ax in America, but the slaves were freed about forty years earlier there than in America, and were, freed by peaceful mepins and not by war. Will forty yeas more produce the same friendly feeling in America as In Trinidad? I doubt it, for’ the growth is not in that direction, It seems to me that much of, the difference Is to be found in the manner in which emancipation cme about in America.

The strong and talented lead- ers of any ‘race do not come from those reared in wealth and luxury, but from those of humble birth who have their own way to rake and who win their place in the world by meeting and overcoming obstacles. A moderate amount of oppesition is no drawback to success but rather a stimulus. The Negro has a fine physique; he fa getting an education; each generation helps to weed out the less worthy ‘and bring to the front the more worthy and the ob- stacles in his way are but stepping stonds to the more enterprising. Only a few gentrations will be needed to bring to the front such a company of trees worthy colored men and women as will force recognition and will give to them a place among the more pro- gressive and enlightened races of the world—Rey.

Not because you have complied with the forms and ceremonies of our ancient institution and received signs and tokens and words, but because you have discerned accepted and adopted the inner meanings of the symbols, allegories and legends of the Fraternity and have submitted to the principles inculcated in the Masonic degrees and, in the Ancient Constitutions, regulations and landmarks. This being true, you are not to allow yourself to be ignorant of Masonic matters, but are to govern yourself wholly as a Mason, in full view of and controlled by the Masonic lights and teachings. Other institutions may have forms, regulations and teachings which you can approve, and which are all right as they use them, but as a Mason, you are not to introduce them into any Masonic body or association of the craft for the sole reason that they are not in accord with Freemasonry. To illustrate: The beneficiary system of various orders is all right so far as they are concerned, but all wrong if attempted by Masonic bodies. Freemasonry is on a higher plane, namely, that of faith, hope and love, as taught by pure and undefiled religion, and the necessity of the distressed and the ability of the donor is the measure of the giving by the individual, by the lodge and by the grand lodge. We are Masons because we rise to and stand upon that plane with God our Father and man our brother.—Masonic News. Some people are always finding fault with nature for putting thorns on roses. I always thank her for putting roses on thorns.—Alphouse Karr. The eyes of the World are Upon us The eyes of the profane are upon us all as Masons, and they are particularly focused upon those who are in authority. It becometh us, therefore, to walk worthy of vocation wherewith we are called, for "by their fruits ye shall know them." It is not all of Masonry to wear a Masonic pin, nor to know certain letters better than the ten commandments. Our profession is to be exemplified by our works and not by our speaking. The world needs Masonry now more than ever before. Never, perhaps, in history are such advances made in all that appertains to the welfare of the human race; education is becoming universal; ignorance is the exception; labor receives honorable recognition while idleness is condemned; moral worth and recititude of character are at a premium and vice and its kin are relegated to obscurity. Masonry has done much to bring these conditions about, for while it remembers the traditions of the fathers it plans as well for the children, and our progress must con- tinue to be in keeping with modern civilization.—A. F. Tennis. Freemasonry is an institution calculated to benefit mankind. Instituted by various men, with the pratseworthy design of recalling to our remembrance the most sublime truths, in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasures, founded on liberality, brothly love and charity.—Andrew Jackson The Hardest Lesson It seems strange that the hardest lesson which Masons have to learn is the lesso not tolerance, of that charity that "suffereth long and is kind" and is the chief of the institution. That is the one virtue that justifies its existence. The moralities that occupy so large a place in our lectures are ours only by adoption. They are in no sense original, and every neophyte is required to possess them before he can be admitted to our band. We teach nothing that is new or exclusively ours. We simply give to our members an opportunity to associate themselves with men of moral character and lofty purpose, and by constantly reminding them of the highest ideals of life and service strive to keep them keyed up to a high standard of principle and conduct. But with all our preaching and posing we are constantly in danger of offending against, the criminal principles of our profession, the brotherlove that overlooks trifling faults and errors, that gives our brother credit for pure motives and honest intentions, that strives to lift him up rather than throw him down.—Masonic Standard. A "good Mason" does not mean a man who can roll off the ritual like a phonograph, but one whose handshake has an electrifying shock of good fellowship that draws you toward him, and one to whom you want to confide your sorrows and with whom you want to share your joys.—Exchange. Make the Heart Lighter May C. Keiser, president of Illinois, says: "The real pleasures of this life are the restoratives that help to keep alive the love and hope in our hearts so often blunted by the every day duties of life, where come care, worry and the anxieties incidental to all active life. One of the real pleasures of our association together in our lodges, passing evenings in free and good fellowship, is what makes the heart lighter and the confidence greater, cementing anew the friendship between us all.

To the public school patrons: Ever and anon do I call your attention to the importance of visiting the school while it is in its working costume. There are two principal reasons why too much emphasis cannot be put on this subject. First, as tax paying citizens you should have enough personal interest to see that you are getting just returns for your well earned dollars, in school supplies and capable teachers. You should certainly be willing and able to caution the innocent youth about the entanglements of life by virtue of your long experience. The second and even more laudable reason why you should visit the school is: your visits cause the children to give a keener concern to their studies because at once they become aware of the fact that you are interested in them. They, the children, reason with themselves thus: "Since Mr. So and So is so interested in me how much more interest should I have in my studies." Your visits will permeate the school with so much good that even when you can no longer visit it it will be perpetuated year after year. Kindly give this matter your attention. Yours respectfully J. Charles Mardenborough, principal public school. The many friends of Mr. Frank Moore, Sr., who is sick at his home in Beaufort, are glad to hear of his improvement and hope for him an early recovery. Rev. J. S. Manyard, pastor of the DOROTHY A. M. E. Church here, and Miss Wilhilmena Smith of Charleston, lately of Savannah, were married at the home of the bride by Rev J. H. Johnson of the A. M. E. Church of Savannah. They are now at the A. M. E. parsonage Mr. M. C. Riley made a business trip to Savannah last week. Mr. Martin Alston has just returned after having attended the Mt. Carmel B. Association in the northern part of the state. He says that the association was a great success. The many friends of Mr. James Frazier will regret to learn of his death. He died in Savannah, Tuesday October 26. He was liked by every one who knew him because of his good nature. His bereaved relatives have the deepest sympathy of Bluffton at large. Mrs. C. A. Riley has just returned after having attended the Mt. Carmel Association. It is our hope that much interest will be put in the sewing circle which is held every Friday afternoon in the school building at 4 o'clock. GENERAL CONFERENCE Drs C. W. Williams, U. P. Tolbers, J.

Saturday November 6th 1915 a Every Republican can rejuice over the results of Tuesday's election. The party is getting back to its old form. The Progressives are returning to the fold. Tuesday's election is only a fore- runner of the results next November when the demoerats will be badly routed. Why is it that coloredl men of prom- inence persist in sending articles con- taining names of our women tp white uewspapers when they know that the prefix “Miss” or “Mrs.” will be omitted’ These colored men should not assist the, white papers in attempt- ing to degrade our women. It was with “much pleasure that we received on our exchange list last week a copy of the’ Georgia Baptist. For Years this paper was one of the news- iest, cleanest and most uplifting Negro papers published in this state and when it suspended publication last’ year, the -race lost one of its strongest and most tireless workers. With the return of this wellknown paper into the field of journalism, the cnuse of the Negro in this state and especially in Augusta will be more strongly espoused and the readinz public more satisfactor- ily served. We congratulate DUditor Walker and his co-workers on bring- ing the Georgid Baptist back to life and wich’ the paper much success, With to-day’s issue The Tribune again begins the publication of the monthly reports-of the six leading pu. pils in each grade of the public schools of the city. For two years this jnfor- mation has been given to the public thru our columns and it has proven of much interest both to pupils and parents. We feel that the -parents of the children whose mes are included in this list should let their children know of their sratification of their high marks in school hy getting a copy }of the paper and sending it toe their frievds. Often parents are aware of their children's success in school but de net thhtk enough about it te of- fer ou commendable word to their children. This is a lack of interest which is too often exhibited, Children who are succeeding are often spurred on to greater enleaver wuen their parents make it known to them that they are aware of their good marks. Parents whose children’s names ap- year in The Tribune in these monthly reports should not only be satisfied with knowing that their Ittile one’s names are apperring among the Jead- ers in the various classes but they should make it known to them that they not only know of their well do, ing but should tell them “about ut in some ‘complimentary wiiy.

WALKER LECTURES “The Man in Ebpny” was the sub- ject of the lecture that was delivered at the St. John’s Baptist Chyrch Tues- day night by Dr. Thomas H, B, Walk- er, orator, poet and novelist, of Jack- sonville, Fla. A large and appreciative atidience listened with abiding interest ‘to the story of the black man in history as it was related-by the able and poetic speaker, Tracing:,the black man as far as five thousand years back and pointing out the station held at the va- tious eras by the race, Dr.” Walker ay : gi : Ye EG Dp MAG ES, ED NN 2 y y “The Negro has 2 history over 5,000 years old.” ‘showed effectively the eminence to to which the race had attained fn the arts and science as well as in govern- ment and proved that the black race had been the teacher and example of the civilized world. Dr. Walker is an interesting stor} narrator and his striking ,character- istic poses contribute largely to his success in making happy and lasting impressions. * Throughout his address. were little striking bits of poetry mixed in and measured sufficiently not to appear as a mere stereotyped recital, and these bits of soul-song added greatly to the appealing of the more matter-of-fact substance of his address, After the lecture many persons avail- ed themselves of the opportunity to get one or more copies of the books of which Dr, Walker is'the ‘author, not- AS Ry ; Py - oo - , By “Dr. Walker in the attitude of his story” ably, “The Unknown Man,” “The Pres- ideuts of Liberia,” ete.

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK'S ISSUE Last week he released an official statement to the effect that there is no fund of $68,000,000 or any other sum in the Treasury of the United States for ex-slaves or their heirs or for any other persons who worked in the cotton fields of the South. Secretary. McAdoo thus sounds a timely note of warning that payments made by individuals to defray cost and expense of sult against the Government to recover any part of any such fictitious fund is a waste of money. This is intended to shut off the financial supply of promoters of the action against the government, who have advertised heavily in certain colored papers and have sent circulars broadcast over the land calling for contributions of $1.75 each from those who might be supposed to have an interest in pressing the claim. The record shows that 'suit was brought last July in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in the name of four persons—H. N. Johnson, of Louisiana; R. Bower, of Texas; C. B. Williams, of Mississippi, and Mamie Thompson, of Tennessee—for themselves and all who have similar interests, as plaintiffs, in which the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America is made defendant, the purpose of the suit being to have the sum of $68,000,000 appropriated and paid to claimants and all ex-slaves who heaped to produce certain cotton or to their heirs. The cotton in question was produced by slave labor between the years of 1859 and 1868 or the period between 1862 and 1868, and the $68,000,000 represents the interest revenue tax on the raw cotton under the law and is now held in the Treasury among the general funds of the government. It is the view of the Treasury department that there is no legal or just basis for the suit filed in the Supreme Court, and that it, or any other suit brought for the same purpose, will prove unfounded and frustless. The Treasury holds that the tax was collected lawfully, as determined by the courts years ago, and no one who is familiar with the law on the subject and the decision of the courts thereon, would think of bringing suit for the recovery thereof. Even if those who were slaves were entitled to compensation for their work, their claim would be against their former masters and they would have no recourse at this late day against such masters, or for the proceeds of the cotton produced by their labor. A contention that they could now collect anything for such service would be fraumulent and absurd. Secretary McAdoo explains this point at length because the statements of the promoters of the suit are liable to mislead persons unacquainted with the facts. Counsel Jones Publishes Speech Cornelius J. Jones of Memphis, Teum, is chief counsel for the ex-slave claimants. He has been in the city recently and delivered a speech on matters at issue in Baltimore a few days ago, but made no attempt to answer leading questions raised in these columns just after the filing of the suit. The Baltimore speech of Lawyer Jones was published in the Washington Bee, which it is assumed is the principal organ of the claimants, as it has been carrying all of their advertising. The Treasury calls attention to a circular sent out by the said C. J. Jones, purporting to give "Instructions what to do to make claim to share in $68,000,000 sued for by persons who labored in the production of said cotton." The department has also received another circular issued by C. B. Williams, of Clarksdale, Miss., which is headed "Make a Just Claim," embodying there in a copy of the bill of complaint filed in the court in Washington, D. C. John Hadditt Withdraws From Case When the suit was filed by Lawyer Jones in July, he said he associated with him Forner Judge E. M. Hewlett, a prominent member of the District bar. Judge Hewlett, in view of all the facts, has now made affidavit that his confidence has been abused and that he now sees no merit in the suit; and, further, that in view of the statements made in the printed circulars put into circulation in the South, advising the colored people to give money to conduct the suit, etc., he has withdrawn from the case. Judge Hewlett is a man of the highest standing and his action is taken as an indication that an honest man cannot afford to be identified with the proceedings as conducted by the promoter-in-chief. A. M. E. Conference to be Held Here. By an agreement entered into last week, the next annual session of the Baltimore Conference will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, this city, instead of at Bethel in Baltimore, as was decided at the last session. Metropolitan church had on foot some plans that it was thought would militate against a successful meeting here, and the officers declined to invite the gathering. A postponement of the plans then pending has led to an extension of an invitation and the conference will be held here next spring. The local church has not entertained the Baltimore conference since 1908. Chango in the School System As has been predicted for many months, there is to be "shake-up" in the Washington schools. The report of the District Commissioners has been made public and it contains a number of recommendations that will make radical changes in the present system, including the personnel, and bring the management of the educational affairs of the community more closely in touch with the natural authorities of the District of Columbia. Irreconcilable divisions in the Board of Education on matters pertaining to both white and colored issues are likely to lead to an abolishment of the board. If the board with limited powers remains, it will be revised until there will be scarcely a familiar face left. The only colored member likely to be retained, if the board is not abolished, is Fountain Payton, who has not been mixed up in any of the factional fights and whose mind is not blamed in favor of the retention of Mr. Bruce, against the wishes of 90 per cent. of the colored people of the District. It has long been recognized that only by completely overhauling the system can relief be had from the ills that have made the schools a joke. If that relief means the doing away with the officials who have made this situation so severe, they have only themselves to blame. A step in the right direction was the ruling that no person can draw more than two salaries in the school system, the blow being aimed at certain individuals who have been serving a day teacher, a night teacher and playgrounds attendant. The rule is good, but in the opinion of everyone not on the payroll, it does not go far enough Unless there are special reasons, no one should be allowed to draw more than one salary from the schools. Too many day teachers are teaching in the night schools, when those salaries should go to the normal graduates who have nothing to do. The Congressional investigation will take notice of this phase of the school problem and if there is a response to the popular will, the doubling-up of day and night teachers will stop. The benefits of the people's money should be spread over the widest possible area. News in Tabloid These seem to be golden days for the Washington Bee. It has not uttered a complaint for over three weeks. No longer do the school question, the MuSo-Lit or the interlopers vex the midnight dreams of the once doughty editor of The Bee. Mr. E. J. Conway was recently promoted from a $1,000 clerkship to the $1,200 grade in the office of the Auditor for the navy department. This office is under the control of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. Robert Hilliard, the famous actor, is soon to be seen here in a new play, in which he appears as a man with a "taint" of Negro blood, who marries a white woman. The complications growing out of this mixed alliance, it is said, form the basis of a treatment of the so called "race prejudice" from a new and startling angle. President Daniel Freeman, of the local Negro Business League, has sent to the executive committee of the National Negro Business League a statement, signed by the officers of the local organization, withdrawing all claims to the 1916 meeting and asking that Kansas City, Mo. be named in its place. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis gave a dramatic recital this week at Payne A. M.E. and Ashbury M. E. Churches in Baltimore and at Townson, Md. Last week she received a warm welcome at Moravian Temple in 136th street, New York City, and made return dates in New Jersey. Mrs. L. C. Moore, one of the race's most talented women, passed away a few days ago. Her funeral was conducted at the Providence Baptist Church, Rev. Aquilla Sayles officiating. NEWS FROM THE NATION'S CAPITOL (Continued from first page) White, Mr. and Mrs. J. E Buckner and many others Sunday evening Mme. Brown rendered, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Randegger's impressive sacred aria, "Save us O God", and was warmly congratulated by the large congregation, led by Dr. C. S. Stepteau, the pastor. On the 9th Mme. Brown sails from New York for Trinidad, and will then make British Gulana, Venezuela, Bahia and Reo de Janeiro, Brizill, and other points in South America. She will probably visit Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba on her return route to "The States". Miss Abbie Mitchell/Betires from Cast of "Darklydom" A telegram from a New York dramatic writer gives the information that Miss Abbie Mitchell, described as the "vital spark" retired from the cast of Miller and Lyles"Darkydom" on Monday evening, which marked the opening of the second week of the show at the Lafayette Theatre, New York City. No reason is assigned. Miss Mitchell will probably resume her vaudeville tour. She joined the company here, following a successful personal engagement at the Howard. Town Topics in Tabloid Miss Fay Hershaw, youngest daughter of Prof. and Mrs. L. M. Hershaw, has accepted a position as teacher in the Whitted High School at Durham, N. C. Miss Hershaw is a graduate of the High and Normal schools of Washington, and has specialized in kindergarten work. Mr. James F. Alston, for 35 years in the Treasury Department, has resigned the secretaryship of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, because of the pressure of many duties in the government service and in fraternal organizations. Superintendent E. L. Thurston is having printed a report of the openrations of the schools, the first that has been prepared for the public in four years. The report will cover the activities of the school for several years back, including the recommendations of Mr. Thurston for the current year. He favors pensions for aged and disabled teachers, an extension of the vocational instruction and buildings of at least sixteen rooms. Shortly after Congress convenes, a bill will be passed, in accord with the recommendations of the District authorities, placing the appointment of Board of Education in the hands of the District Commissioners, releasing the District Supreme Court of that function. That suit of Miss Charlotte N. Hunter against sundry folks in town is still dragging through the courts, and a hearing is not likely for many months. A mention of this fact brings to mind that the findings of the subcommittee of the Board of Education, relative to the examination rating of the kindergarten graduates of the normal class of 1914, have not yet been made public. Six of the graduates of that memorable class were given appointments, temporary at first, to fill vacancies, and it is understood that these appointments were afterwards made permanent, but no official statement has been handed down, showing the undisputed standing of the individuals composing that class. Mrs. Lizzie Hicks-Evans, of Louisville, Ky. Is to be the star of a grand concert to be given for the benefit of the John Wesley Cathedral Zion Church. The management will be in the hands of Mr. S. M. Dudley. Dr. Booker T. Washington passed through the city a few days ago, en route from New England and New York to Tuskegee Institute. He seems to have completely recovered from his recent illness. Colored Ohioans in Washington are noting with deep interest the movement looking to the withdrawal of Governor Frank B. Willis from the presidential contest, in favor of former Senator T. E. Burton.

TO THE BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA Your attention is hereby called to the forth-coming session of the General Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia, which meets with Wheat Street Baptist church, Atlanta, Ga., Rev. P. J. Bryant, D. D., pastor, ten o'clock Tuesday November 16, 1915 It is very much desired that every church, association, convention and society of our denomination of the state be represented. The achievement of our unification meeting in Macon last June, gives us a most splendid opportunity to enlarge our borders and strengthen our cause at the same time placing upon us the tremendous responsibility of planning for the half-million persons who come under our influence. It is our sincere desire that much improvement shall be made upon the denominational machinery, and that newer and larger plans shall be launched for the completion of our three-fold-task. It is alone our sincere desire that as large a contribution be sent as possible in order that we may have the funds with which to operate the institutions of the denomination. Our missionary staff is accomplishing much good in Georgian, but it needs to be enlarged, readjusted and otherwise strengthened. Our educational work stands seriously in need of our financial assistance, and our best judgment in readjusting the same. Our reformitory work is appealing as never before for staunch and sympathetic support from our denomination. Our national affairs demand our most careful attention and serious consideration. The combined wisdom of the whole denomination is seriously needed to make the proper adjustment of these conditions. I, therefore, urge upon the moderators of the associations, presidents of conventions, pastors and churches to send their best representatives to take counsel together upon these weighty matters. Trusting to meet you in Atlanta with your hearts fixed upon doing our Master's will. President of General Missionary Baptist Convention. Mrs. Julia Johnson 702 W. GWINNETT STREET EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA!

D. M. Stearns. I am very glad to have the privilege of writing a lesson on Daniel, even though it be what is called a temperance lesson, for we shall find much more in it than appears on the surface. He is mentioned in Ezek xiv, 14, 20, with Noah and Job as noted for their righteousness. He is mentioned by the Lord Jesus in Matt. xxiv, 15, in connection with the great tribulation at the end of this age immediately preceding the return of the Lord in His glory, to which Daniel also refers in chapters ix, 27; xii, 1. We recently saw a little captive maid glorifying the God of Israel under very trying circumstances, and in this lesson we see four captive young men glorifying the God of Israel under difficulties. The Lord permitted this oppression and captivity because of the sin of Judah and gave Jeholakim and some of his people, and some of the vessels of the house of God into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and among the captives were these four young men of royal blood, who were chosen to stand in the king's palace and to be taught the learning and tongue of the Chaldeans that they might stand before the king (verses 3-5). They were to have a three years' course of preparation for their calling, and as to their food they were nourished from the king's table daily the same meat and wine which he ate and drank. At least that was the provision made for them. It was humiliating for an Israelite to be a captive. It was humiliating to have their beautiful Jewish names, each of which had in them a suggestion of the true God of Jehovah, changed to names suggestive of idols (verses 6, 7). But this they could bear without any sin on their part. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself was taken prisoner, bound and led by His captors as they pleased. They also called Him a devil and Beelzehub and said that He was beside Himself. So in these two particulars they were foreshadowing the sufferings of Christ. When we suffer in these ways we have fellowship with Him in His sufferings. When it came to eating and drinking that which had been offered to idols Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not detile himself, and no doubt he had prayed to his God about this. He asked permission of the prince of the eunuchs that he and his friends might be excused from receiving the food from the king's table and be given very plain fare, which had not passed that way, asking that they might be proved for ten days. The same God who permitted them thus far to suffer for His sake now gave them favor in the sight of this man, and he consented to prove them. At the end of ten days they were fairer and fatter in flesh than those who did eat the portion of the king's meat, so it was kept from them, and they were given the plain fare- which had not been offered to idols. See Deut. xxxil, 37, 38. If this is a temperance lesson the same principle applies to food as to drink. To my mind it is a lesson on the necessity of keeping one's self wholly for God in every particular and of being willing to submit cheerfully to difficult circumstances for His sake. In chapter x, 2, 3. Daniel says that for three weeks he did without pleasant bread or flesh or wine, while he mourned and waited upon God for a special purpose, implying that he did not always see the necessity of denying himself food that could have the blessing of God. As to the sin of intemperance or self indulgence in any matter, the teaching of scripture is very plain, and the flithiness and beastliness of strong drink could scarcely be more vividly described or condemned than in Isa. v. 11, 12, 22; xxviii, 7, 8. The only remedy is in Christ Jesus, who alone can forgive sin and give the sinner a new nature and such a purpose to keep one's self wholly for Him as Daniel had. Though he stood before the earthly king in a place of honor, he stood more consciously before the King of kings, for whose sake he in his old age went to the lion's den rather than dishonor him by any fear of man, for whose sake his three friends went to the fiery furnace rather than bow down to any image which man might set up. No doubt Daniel and his friends were prayerfully diligent in their Chaldean studies, but God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and He gave Daniel understanding in all visions and dreams, so that these young men were ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers in the whole realm (verses 17, 20). On three different occasions related in this book, when all the wisdom of Babylon's wise men failed, Daniel did not fall once because his God never failed him. Any believer who is willing to pay the price by self denial and indifference to what others say or think of you and a purpose of heart to see no one but Jesus only and covet only His approval may know the power of God as others cannot. The whole cost of salvation fell upon Jesus Christ, and we receive freely what He so fully provided and paid for. But to be His faithful witnesses we must have the devotion, self denial and continuance of Daniel.

We have worked too hard and long to bring about the feeling of optimism, hope and good cheer to sit supinely by and see it all go for naught to satisfy the selfish ambition of any one man or set of men. The thing we should do, yea, the thing we must do, if we would succeed, as the child race in business in this community, is to offer every possible encouragement to every legitimate business conducted by men of the race, him and that he can successfully operate his affairs without their assistance, influence and co-operation, will awaken some bright morning to find that his down right ignorance and meanness were only exceeded by his selfish ambition. We are entirely too young, and, indeed, we cannot afford it to allow ourselves, as business factors, to ever be guilty of throwing one stumbling block in the way of a business fellow who is struggling on ward and upward in an earnest eni- Declare your INDEPENDENCE INSIST on a JOHN RUSKIN.

John Ruskin THEY COULD BE SMALLER-BUT NOT BETTER deavor to promote the business welfare of the race in the community. Our each and every interest should be in common, our hope and our aims in a good many respects should be as one in grouping all of the combined, gracious uplifting race agencies to gether and then boiling them down to their last analysis, the whole, in our opinion, would simply mean this: Mr. Negro business man, get together, work together and do business one with the other, as it is, indeed, cool hardy for one business Negro to imagine that he is absolutely independent of all other Negroes engaged in business. Cheap independence and petty jealousy have caused the overthrow and the destruction of more Negro enterprises than all of the other evils perpetrated upon the race by the emissaries of his satanic majesty combined. "I can't You Shan't This motto has worked over time in every community where any appreciable number of Negroes live, and among whom are found a few men with honest intentions of doings things for the race worth while. These few men who are builders of great banking institutions, insurance companies, printing and publishing plants, real estate and development concerns, etc., find their greatest and most formidable opposition coming from men who by all means should be doing every thing in their power to encourage and endorse the carrying on of any and all legitimate enterprises operated and managed by Negro brain and money. Easy to Destroy Its an easy matter to destroy what it took much labor, brain and money to build. The unselfish men who compose the membership of the local branch of the Negro Business League have taught and practiced the doctrine of optimism from the beginning of the organization of the league down to this good day, and as a result of which the business men in the community have co-operated and have succeeded in building up a concrete sentiment which, in our code of business ethics, means "all for one and one for all". As we said above it took time, patience and much labor for the Negro business men in this community to bring about these splendid results, in this short space of time but as sure as day follows night, any one of us if allowed to go unchecked and uncondemned by the others of us, could and would destroy these happy conditions in a very short time, if we would allow ourselves to become a pilant and willing tool in the hands of petty jealousy and down-right meanness which are the working emissaries of his satanic majesty. Hence, we stick to the text under which this thought is written: "An Easy Matter to Destroy". If you can't move one way move another. In this age of commercialism and push, the Negro business man must push in or be pushed out. This is an age of specialties and no one man is supposed to know it all. The Negro man engaged in business who finds that he is losing by being pushed out as a result of not being able to cope with his competitor, that is to say, not having the experience and ability to successfully compete with the other fellow should find a high class, competent man and pay him enough salary to make him respect his job and then demand results. No more pity, but business. Come early to your next meeting which will be at the league's headquarters Alice and West Broad streets, Friday evening November 10th. FISK TIES WILBERFORCE Nashville, Tenn.—In one of the greatest games ever witnessed on the Fisk University campus Fisk and Wilberforce teams played a 0:0 tie today. The game was brilliant throughout, both teams reaching the twenty yard line only twice during the entire game. Gaines at quarter and Lane at left-half, two former Georgia State College boys, played brilliantly for Wilberforce. WAYNESVILLE NEWS Rev. L. T. Tyson, for years pastor of the First A. B. Church, departed this life near Brunswick, Ga, last month. He leaves a wife, four sons, five daughters, two sisters, one brother and a host of friends to mourn his death. Rev. Tyson was confined to his bed only a few days. His parting words were "I am not afraid of dying, I am frusturing in the Lord." His body was removed to Brunswick and then to Waynesville, where his funeral sermon was preached by Rev. W. W. Clemon, pastor of the M. E. Church at Bainbridge, Ga. The church was crowded, it being the largest funeral ever witnessed at Waynesville. The Missionary Union met Sunday at Macedonia Baptist church, Rev. Hamilton, pastor. The morning service was conducted by Rev. Hamilton. The afternoon service was conducted by Rev. Deveaux. A paper, subject, "The Union," was read by Mrs. Annie Jeffries before the sermon. Rev.' Jefferies will preach at Second Arnold Baptist Church on the subject "What side are you on?"
