Daniels being returned to their charges, Asbury and Palen Memorial, respectively. URBAN LEAGUE DEFEATS X.M.C.A. In a game which was full of thrills, the Urban League team defeated the Y. M. C. A. last Monday at the Baseball park by a score of 7 to 0. The game which was witnessed by a small crowd was fiercely contested throughout. The scoring of the Urban League team was made possible by two beautifully executed forward passes. The teams were about evenly matched in weight. For the Y. M. C. A. Charlie Davis, a former Morehouse College star, played the best game while for the Urban League the work of Williams and Quarterback·Gallard was the main feature. The time of the quarters was 10 minutes. STATE COLLEGE DEFEATS On Thursday afternoon the Ga. State College boys defeated Allen University by a score of 21 to 6. The all round work of the Ga. State boys was far superior to that of the South Carolinians who were miserably poor in punting, several of the boots being even made for a loss. In one department of the game the Allen boys were superior, forward passing. For the State College Pope at right half was the bright particular star. He was the best ground gainer, intercepted several passes and otherwise distinguished himself. For Allen Quarterback Halnes was always in evidence. His work both offensive and defensive was far above that of his teammates. His punting, however, showed up very poor. The State College scored touchdowns in the first, third and fourth quarters, goals following each touchdown. Allen scored its lone touchdown about five minutes before the game ended by uncocking a forward pass from their seven yard line, the receiver of the the pass by a beautiful broken-field run dodged the entire Ga. college team. Both teams were in excellent physical condition, time being taken out but once for injuries the time of the quarters was 15 and 12 minutes. Sam King, Tuskegee, was referee and Matthew Jones, X. M. G. A., umpire A crowd of about eight hundred witnessed the game. MORE HONORS FOR TUSKE- GEE'S DEPARTED CHIEFTAIN What They areD oing in the Nation's Capitol By R. W. Thompson Washington, D. C., Nov. 23—Washington continues to do honor to the memory of Tuskegee's departed chieftain. Sunday, in practically all of the churches, special sermons were preached, extolling the virtues of the late Dr. Washington as a leader and example for the living, young and old, to follow in the conduct of life. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, at Shiloh Baptist Church, spoke with special emphasis on "Human leadership versus divine leadership: an appreciation of Dr. Booker T. Washington." Sermons in similar vein were delivered by Rev. C. Harold Stephen at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Rev. W R Jernagin at Mt Carmel Baptist Church. As has been stated in these columns, the colored business houses were closed for a period during the funeral services on Wednesday of last week and the flags on the colored school houses were displayed at half mast Appropriate exercises were held by the students on the morning of the funeral. A tribute was paid by Secretary S. W. Rutherford to the assembled employees of the National Benefit Asso. on the same day. At several services in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University, the deans of the various departments spoke interestingly of the career of Dr. Washington, among the culocists being Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. L. B. Moore, Dr. W V. Tunnell and others. Upon their return from Tuskegee Institute, Pres S. M. Newman and Secretary George W. Cook, who represented the university at the funeral, described in vivid fashion the solemn events surrounding the last solem events surrounding the last rites for the great educator. Tuesday evening the National Negro Business League's local branch held a special meeting, presided over by Daniel Freeman, with Mrs. Grace L. Thompson as secretary. A large number of business men and women were present and the influence of Dr. Washington in developing the commercial opportunities of the race was dwelt upon by eloquent speakers and resolutions testifying the gratitude of the League over the helpful labor of the deceased and its regret that he has been called away in the prime of his powers were adopted. The committee in charge of the "national memorial meeting" is actively at work and has held several conferences at the residence of Chairman Henry Lassiter, 1515 17th street. The big meeting is scheduled to take place early in January, on a date convenient to the noted character who has been invited to be the principal speaker on the occasion. The announcement will be made when the details have been completed. Howard University, numerous churches and the Mu-So- Lit Club and other organizations are planning to hold memorial exercises in a local way. The Business League and the Washington Commercial Council joined hands in taking actions on the death of Mr. Washington. R. L. Pendleton is president of the Commercial Council, and A. N. Scurlock is secretary. At Myrtilla Miner Normal School, before the sessions of the Teachers' Institute Wednesday night, Archibald H. Grimke, president of the local branch of the N. A. C. P., delivered a remarkably fine address on the life and notable achievements of the late head of Tuskegee Institute. The nation's capital is doing itself proud in the unstinted measures of reverence and appreciation it has been extending to the foremost man the Negro Race has produced in this generation. N. A. A. C. P. Steers Clear of School Controversy President A H. Grimke made a very gratifying showing of the activities of (Continued on seventh page STATE COLLEGE AND FLORIDA BAPTIST PLAY 0.0 TIE On Friday afternoon of last week in Jacksonville, Fla., Coach Tucker's Ga.

Thursday will be a day long to be remembered by the eighty inmates of the Juvenile Farm. The ladies of the Adult committee and Sunshine Workers of the Urban League, solicited donations from the several friends in order to give the boys a big Thanksgiving dinner, under the direction of Mrs. Rachel Moore, chairman of the committee and matron of the farm. That the ladies were successful was evidenced by the well laden tables with many good things to eat, and decorated with autumn leaves, chrysanthemums and roses. Services suitable for the occasion were held and words of inspiration were extended the boys. Miss Ada Scott and Miss Florence Moore assisted Mrs. Moore in serving the boys. The improvements at the Juvenile farm began after a crusade by the Urban League. Several times during the year the ladies of the league always remember the boys in a substantial manner. One of Savannah's Most Substantial Negro Citizens. Mr. George S. Williams, after an illness of long duration, died at his home, 414 West Duffy street, on last Sunday morning about 4:30 o'clock Mr. Williams who was born about 52 years ago, was one of the leading Negro citizens and a man highly respected by both races. He received his early training in the local schools and then attended Atlanta University. After leaving the university he taught in this county and then in the West Broad street school. For about six years he remained in school work, resigning to enter the government mall service. For six years he was transfer clerk, afterwhich he became a railway mall clerk, continuing as such for 15 years when he resigned on account of ill health. After leaving the road Mr. Williams confined himself to looking after his personal affairs. [Name] Mr. Williams was one of the leading secret order men of the city. He was supreme representative of the K. of P., having been elected to this position last summer for the eighth consecutive time, a member of Crescent lodge, K. of P., and a member of Armour Lodge, Odd Fellows. He was a member of the First Congregational Church, from which the funeral took place Tuesday afternoon. He was vice-president of the Congregational Brotherhood, president of the board of trustees of Charity Hospital and a deacon in the First Congregational Church. In past years he had served the church as clerk, trustee and held other positions. Mr. Williams was a man of exemplary habits and had a wide circle of friends. He was one of the most substantial Negroes in the city, being the owner of the William's building, West Broad street, and many other pieces of property. Several months ago Mr. Williams suffered a second paralytic stroke while overseeing some work on his building. He rallied however and with assistance was able to be out again. On Thursday night of last week he was taken with a third stroke and every thing possible was done for him but to no avail, the end coming last Sunday morning. During his illness, although under the care of a trained nurse, his wife was ever in attendance upon him. Her devotions and constant care contributed much to his comfort and she was tireless in her efforts to do what was possible in prolonging his life. The funeral was one of the largest and most representative held here for some time. The church was packed with friends of the deceased, the services being conducted by the Rev. Wm. L. Cash, pastor. A large crowd also was at the cemetery. The floral offerings were unusually beautiful and many. Among the honorary pall-bearers were Grand Chancellor G. R. Hutto of Bainbridge; B. W Warren, Americus; C H. C. McCarthy and J. H Watson of Albany. Mr. Williams is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mamie E. Williams, who was in constant attendance upon him during his illness, and two sisters, Mrs. Emma Blunt and Mrs. Matilda Stewart. Barbecue and dance at the Grill Club Monday night November 29 Drinks served free with lunches. Our friends are cordially invited. Best of music. NUMBER 13 Grand Chancellor Hutto Banqueted Grand Chancellor Hutto Banqueted BY THE UNIFORM RANK E. OF. P OF THE CITY Parade Through Streets Headed by Band-Over Two Hundred Present. On Wednesday night the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias assembled at Gwinnett and West Broad streets and headed by the K. of P. band, marched down West Broad street to the office of Genl. F. M. Cohen, secretary and treasury of the order of the state. They were met by Genl. G. R Hutto of Bainbridge, Ga., grand chancellor of the Knights of Georgia and B. W. Warren of Americus, Ga., grand keeper of records and seal. From there they proceeded to the Harris Street hall where they were joined by the grand worthy counsellor of the Court of Calanthe, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, and grand court officers Mrs. Willie Hill and Mrs M. E. Harper and Mrs. Willie Brown a member of the grand court and a jolly set of ladies of the drill corps. The occasion was the celebration of the recent appointment of Grand Chancellor Hutto as brigadier general of the uniform rank. K. of P. of the state of Georgia. There were over two hundred present and the evening was made pleasant by the selections rendered by the K. of P. band and the remarks of the speakers. Capt M. W. Bryan of Feay company acted as toast master and in response to his call appropriate remarks were made by Grand Chancellor Hutto, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal B. W. Warren, Messrs. E. W Sherman, Ed H. Burke, and Major E M Wilson. The remarks by the brigadier general were very encouraging to the members and they left in a happy mood for having staged an event of this kind. PINEY WOOD CLUB HOLDS SUCCESSFUL OPENING The formal opening of the Piney Wood Club on Thursday night at their rooms Waldburg and Burroughs streets was indeed a success. The large crowd that packed the building showed plainly the popularity of the club. The programme as arranged was carried out to the letter and the participants acquitted themselves admirably. MANY ARTICLES LEFT OUT On account of the crowded condition of our columns, we were compelled to leave out several important articles last and also several paying ads. CONGREGATIONAL THANKSGIVI- ING SERVICE The Thanksgiving service at the First Congregational Church were well attended. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. L. Cash, the pastor. The feature was the display of fruits and vegetables, offerings from students of Beach Institute, the Congregational Kindergarten and members of the church. These articles were divided and distributed to about twenty-five poor families of the city. The children " the kindergarten rendered two songs.

Nov. 24—Now that winter is upon us and the season of galeties has begun, we find ourselves currying about, here and there, hearts in a flurry and brimming over with happy expectation of the coming festivities where we may dance away the merry hours, oblivious of time and the many perplexities of this little world of ours, except for the ever present question of dress: Alluring Silks and Satins There are numbers of dalynt silks and sheer fabrics, such as taffeta, gros de Londres, soft satin, chiffons, nets, and novelty brocades which are charmingly suited for dance and dinner frocks. Gros re Londres comes plain and striped, combining often two if the most delicate pastel shades. The soft © MCCALL Evening Wrap with Throw Scarf satin and taffetas are particularly effective, under the wet like tunics now modish. Although many prefer the effective simple trock, others delight in the swaying of tiny ruffles and frills, and the swishing of crispy failles and taffetas, panniers of film fabrics, puffed, sherrred, and pleated, quaintly mimicking creations of decades ago. These are carelessly caught up and held in place by tiny clusters of rosebuds, or perhaps a single flower of lace, gold or silver. Metallic ornaments have supplanted trimmings of silk, buds and flowers, to a certain extent, and when used sparingly make most effective finishes. The Scarf of Chiffon As the frame is to the picture, so is the dainty, filmy scarf to the frock for evening wear; endless ideas may, be carried out with these. They are beaded, embroidered, fringed and hand-colored; developed in the sheerest of nets, chiffons, gauze and wonderfully patterned Oriental fabrics, designed with visions of Houris and dreamy barem beauties in mind. One of the many effective uses of the scarf is with the sleeveless gowns; it may be draped in most becoming ways. A charming example of this was brought to my attention the other evening. The dress was of canary colored taffeta made with an eight gored skirt, in which alternating gores were of the canary taffeta and satin of a delicate blue. Each gore was rounded at the lower edge and finished with a narrow quilling of chiffon matching the taffeta bodice. Over this striking skirt hung a tunic of canary colored chiffon, while a wonderfully tinted scarf, with blended tones of canary color and blue, was draped around the shoulders in a wing-like arrangement giving the effect of sleeves when the arms were raised. The ends were wound loosely around the neck, quite as one would use a regular throw scarf of heavy material. It was exceedingly practical and pleased the eyes of those who appreciate daintiness and grace. A Recomy Coat a Necessity In our quest for evening necessities, the all enveloping coat must not be forgotten. Those with large roomy sleeves, or no sleeves at all, are the most practical for the delicate trimming and fabrics they are to cover. Velvet, velours, and broadcloths are of course the standard materials, practical and rich in effect; but many beautiful colored, novelty velvets, showing a strong Chinese influence in their exquisite embroideries, may be found. in beauty, offer themselves for coat and wrap of maid and matron this season. Aside from Gown and Wak Aside from Gown and Wear One must not neglect footwear, slippers, stockings and the "under-mysterles of the evening frock. Satin slippers in the delicate shade of the gown are first in favor, black patent leather with jeweled buckles, and black satin slippers come next for those a bit more practically inclined. The stockings generally match the frock in tone, or are of white. MCCALL Canary Colored Taffeta The old fashioned pantalette, scorned and laughed at since the days of hoops and Daguerreotypes, are among the very daintiest and most femine of evening accessories. They are of satin, chiffon or net, frilled, or fur-trimmed, and one merely catches a fleeting glimpse of them now and then, and thinks of them only as a very effective part of the frock. If one chooses well materials and accessories, there is little danger of a jarring note in the costume; these jarring notes, it is said to say, more often appear in afternoon and street costumes than in evening gowns. TRUE STORY TOLD OF BOOKER WASHINGTON'S LUNCHEON AT WHITE HOUSE The death of Booker T. Washington, the noted colored educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute, at Tuskegee. Al., yesterday recalls the nation-wide comment that followed Washington's lunch-on with President Roosevelt in the White House in the summer of 1902. Many stories of how the colored educator came to be the President's guest at luncheon have been printed, and most of them largely guess work. The true version of the affair was related today by a lifelong friend of Washington, who lives here. The account of the incident given by this relator follows. While Vice President Col. Roosevelt had become interested in the colored man and the great work he was conducting among the Negroes of the south. Early in the summer of 1902 a vacancy occurred on the federal bench in Alabama. One morning Booker T. Washington arrived in the National Capital and immediately called on a friend here, a white man, with whom he had been in a habit of taking council, and remarked that he had received an invitation to come to Washington immediately for conference with President Roosevelt. He added that he had no idea of what was wanted of him, but he felt that the invitation was in the nature of a command, and that he should come. Asked to Recommend Judge Asked to Recommend Judge "That night about 10 o'clock he returned to the office of this friend and related the following story:The President had explained to him that there was a vacancy on the federal bench in Alabama and that he (the President) wanted Washington to recomment a man for the place. The President explained that if Washington made a recommendation the President would look no further. "Washington then remarked that he knew of a man that would make a good judge and would certainly be acceptable to the colored people of the state. The man he mentioned was Thomas G. Jones, who had been governor of Alabama and who resided in Montgomery. "The President then said to Washington in substance: 'I will offer this place to Jones provided you will act as my messenger. I want you to go to him and say to him that you are authorized to offer the place to him and to say to him that if he is appointed, it will be solely on your recommendation.

He left the National Capital that night for Alabama, and three days later returned here early one morning. About lunch-time he went to the White House to report that former Gov. Jones had accepted. "He found the President at lunch-eon. However, the White House attendants (the executive officers where then in the White House proper) informed the President that Mr. Washington was there. Mr. Roosevelt immediately asked the colored man to come into the dining room. According to the story as told by Mr. Washington to his friend here, the President was lunching alone. President Roosevelt Insisted "Sit down and have lunch with me," said the President. "No, thank you; I have been to luncheon,' was the response the colored man made. "The President, however, insisted that Mr. Washington should take a seat at the table while the message from Mr. Jones was being delivered. Reluctantly, as Mr. Washington afterwards said, he did sit down, and participate in the luncheon while he made his report. "This version of the luncheon story disposes of the popular impression that President Roosevelt in a formal way invited the colored educator to luncheon at the White House. After the country began to discuss the luncheon some of the friends of Mr. Washington advised him to make public the true story of the affair, but he never did, and Mr. Roosevelt also left the country free to draw its own conclusion."—The Evening Star, Washington, D. D. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT THE WHITE HOUSE A Different Version of the Dinner With President Roosevelt. To the Editor of the Star: I noticed in your issue of Monday this heading, "The True Story Told at Last of Booker Washington's Luncheon at White House," which sought to disprove that he was ever formally invited with a view of releaving Mr. Roosevelt and his administration of the stigma which such an invitation is supposed to carry with it. As a matter of fact, Mr. Washington was as worthy to sit at the White House table as the guest of the President as any other American citizen living at the time. Judged by any standard of fitness, the propriety of having him there could not be challenged. I said at the time, in an address which I delivered: "Why shouldn't a colored man dine at the White House if he is sufficiently enti- nent and is of the right stamp? Is he not an American citizen? Is he not a part of this republic? Why should he alone be shut out and all other races admitted?" Now, as to this luncheon, as the article in The Star calls it. I happen to know, and to know from Mr. Washington himself, that he was formally invited to dine at the White House by President Roosevelt. The evening when it occurred Mr. Washington was at my house. I lived then at 1526 L street northwest. He reached the house fully one hour before the time fixed for the dinner. Mr. Washington was in full dress. We talked about the invitation. I congratulated him upon it, and felt, and so expressed myself to him, that it was important, not so much as a personal tribute to himself as a fitting recognition of the race, with which he was identified. In this act on the part of the President of the United States, for the first time in the history of the country, the colored man was accorded a courtesy that heretofore had been denied him, while it had been extended to the representatives of other races in the republic. In this act, therefore, in this respect, the colored people were lifted to the same plane of equality as other races, which rightly belongs to them. When the time came for him to go he took the cab that was waiting for him and was driven to the White House, promising me that he would return, if possible, at the close of the dinner, and let me know how everything went off, which he did. These are the simple facts in the case, and no attempt to make them other than they are can change them. FRANCIS J.

There is a Mason who is perfect in his work of the Order, always present at the meetings of all the bodies, decorated with charms and rings and pins, the admiration of himself and the envy of the younger brethren. But examine him closely. What is he outside the lodge room? If he is selfish in his aims, hard with his tenants or employees, neglectful of his family, unscrupulous in his business, smutty or profane in conversation, deaf to the appeals of the needy; if he is any or all these, that man is no true Mason. He is rather a hinderance to the Order. The strongest argument against Masonry is the Mason himself. The world knows, as well as we do, what our Order inculcates, and it also knows far better than we realize, whether we are practicing what we profess, and when it sees the divergence between practice and precept it despises you and the order. The unfaithful Mason is injuring the whole fraternity. As an individual he may not care what the world thinks of him, but he was sworn to protect the good name of his brethren, and when he brings his own good name into disrepute he is inflicting a most serious injury on every other Mason in the community. As a secret organization, the only knowledge that the world can have of our order is the effect that it has on men who belong to it. If it tends to make them good men and true, then it will judge well of the institution; if it does not do this the opinion that will be formed must be evil. The only real use Masonry is in the world is in its effect on men outside of the lodge room. Its teachings and ritual, beautiful as they are, are only means, not ends. We are brought to light in order that we may let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven. If we fail to do this, we are untrue to our obligations—unworthy Masons—Masonte Light. Bar the Improper The Victorian Freemason greatly deplores that at the festal board, and perhaps, at other affairs, connected with Masonic doings occasionally songs and recitations are introduced that are not in keeping with the high moral teachings of the order. It is pleasing to state that, so far as the Masonic Chronicleer in informed, such occasions are rare in this country, for, generally, the harmony is of a high order. Right here in Chicago, however, Masters have immediately and unceremoniously seated entertainers who sought to introduce vulgarity and profanity into the alleged entertainment. The Masonic work is sublime, and its spirit must be lofty. Obscenity, profanity, and all forms of baseness are absolutely incomparable with Masonry, yet somberness, depression and melancholy are equally inconsistent. Masons toll in a place hallowed by solemn and sacred associations the volume of sacred law always open during work, and men should be inspired and elevated by Masonry. Stunts that would cause a blush in the lowest music halls have no place in entertainments connected with anything Masonic.—Masonic Chronicle. Some months ago we spoke of an order for the regulation of national cemeteries which prohibited the emblems of any secret order being placed on monuments erected therein. Considerable discussion was precipitated when this order was issued in the form of a letter in 1911, the first time the various fraternal orders had an inkling of it, though the rule was first adopted in 1908. Investigation at the war department gave no definite information as to who was responsible for this regulation, what force instigated it, or what good purpose could be served by its enforcement, or what harm could be done by the record on a man's tombstone of the order be belonged to. As the various fraternities gradually learned of the order, protests began to come in. The grand lodge of Mississippi adopted a strong resolution of condemnation calling upon Congress to set it aside, whereupon Mr. Patrick Harrison, congressman from Mississippi introduced a resolution in Congress revoking the order, which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Stimson, present Secretary of War, hearing of it, wrote a letter of protest to the chairman of the Military Committee, stating that the resolution as drawn by Mr. Harrison was entirely too broad and urgently protested against the passage of the same. This letter had its effect and the committee displayed a masterly inactivity in dealing with the question, while protests continued to pour in from grand lodges, grand masters and other prominent fraternal members. Other members of Congress, impatient of the delay, finally attached a the resolution as a rider to an appropriation bill which would have been reported by the Appropriation Committee, of which Congressman Sherley is a member, to Congress unanimously. Congress then rescinded the regulation and now there is no prohibition against Masonic emblems over our heads. Can any good reason be given for such a rule, other than the emmity of enemies of our order, who are unwilling for the country to know how many of its best and bravest and most distinguished citizens have given their allegiance to Masonry?—Scottish Rite Bulletin.

That is the one true religion, and it is the very spirit of Masonry, its light and power, its basis and apex. Upon that faith it rests; and in that faith it lives, and by that faith it will conquer, putting the doubts and bigotries of men to shame with its simple insight, and the dignity of its golden voice.—Selected The Masonic Standard declares that no Mason has a moral right to present the petition for Masonry of a man whom he does not know personally, and for whom he cannot vouch in the strongest manner. Freemasonry, the noblest of all institution, was not founded for a business advancement. It was not intended to shield the guilty, foster or abet crime. But its great mission in the world is to mantle man with manlines, and thus, so far as human endeavor can, make of him a perfect man in the sight of the true God.—Corner Stone.

This is erroneous, says the Texas Freemason. They are more in the nature of a university of Masonic education, teaching the more profound mysteries of life. The Mason believes that God has arranged this glorious but perplexing world with a purpose, and on a glorious plan. He holds that every man sent upon this earth and especially every man of superior capacity, has a duty to perform, a mission to fulfill, a baptism to be baptized with; that every great and good man possesses some portion of God's truths, which he must proclaim to the world, and which must bear fruit in his own bosom. In a true and simple sense, he believes all the pure, wise and intellectual to be inspired, and to be so for the instruction, advancement and elevation of mankind.—Albert Pike. A man's motive in becoming a Mason, provided they are not mercenary, are not a matter of great importance. His motives and his point of view are likely to change after initiation, as he gets a true insight into the purposes and practices of our institution.—Masonic Home Journal.

Saturday November 27th, 1915 It should be the tendency of our young men to profit by the lives of those of our leading men, especially the ones who have been called hence. The gand things in their lives should be emulated and if possible improved upon. "A colored lodge man who makes all his money off of colored folks, a colored preacher who collects his salary from a Negro congregation, a colored teacher who would have no job but for the colored children, can well afford to spend some of his money with colored folks.—Dallas Express. And not only that Bro. King, but make the colored banks their depositories. The death of Mr. Geo. S. Williams is regretted by all classes of citizens He has done much to prove the material worth of the young colored men. He saved his earnings and invested same wisely. He was one of the largest real estate owners among us. He was the first colored citizen to conceive the idea of erecting a large office building. Several of his friends were skeptical along that line, but he gave much thought to the matter and saw how it would be a great success, which it is. In all of his connections he was loyal, to his church, his lodges, etc. There was never a middle ground for him. He had convictions and was emphatic in expressing them. In all of his efforts he was seconded by a wife who was devotion itself and fully capable of advising him in all of his enterprises. His saving qualities, ability for investments, loyalty to connections, etc., are some of the qualities of our deceased fellow-citizen that we are anxious to emphasize and transmit to our young men. All Savannah mourns the death of Geo. S. Williams. Too Many Outrages. It is the urgent duty of Congress to deal with this matter at its approaching session, thoroughly and forcefully. It should amend the present laws or, if need be, enact new laws that will enable the federal authorities to reach spies and plotters, whatever their nationality may be and whatever way their crimes may be undertaken or accomplished. The present situation involves the property and life of our citizens, the peace and security of the republic. It should be dealt with as its gravity requires.—Atlanta Journal. This is the way the Journal concludes an editorial upon the need of punishment for the men who have been committing so many outrages in America. It voices our sentiments very aptly—Savannah Press. To which The Tribune agrees and goes further in asking these two dailies to add to the outrages that of lynching and other forms of lawlessness prevalent in this section. These dailies should inaugurate a movement to secure an amendment to the laws of the several states in order that lynching and the gathering of mobs may be forcibly and effectively put down. The suggestion of Mr. Sherman to make the birthday of Booker T Washington a national holiday is strongly voiced in the approval of a large gathering of our people and of the local Negro Business League. By observing his birthday much inspiration can be given our young people which will do much to heighten the prevalence of race loyalty and enterprises indulged so much by the honored one. Mrs. Fannie Lawson Edwards Mrs. Fannie Lawson Edwards died Monday night at Charity Hospital after an illness of several months. She was buried Wednesday afternoon from St. Stephen's Church, a large crowd attending the services which were conducted by Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector. Mrs Edwards is survived by two sons, Messrs Charles and Edward Lawson; one daughter, Mrs Vivian Morlas; one sister, Mrs. Mary W. Long; and a brother, Mr. William Woodhouse. The Negro, like all other races and people, must have some towering enterprises to which the members of the race must look. Whether these enterprises are banks, real estate corporations, big department stores, insurance companies, publishing plants, influential newspapers, drug stores, or what not, the principle in this connection is the same. The aspiring young men of the race must have some models of businesses, owned operated and controlled, by members of the race to which they can point with pride. The lives and acts of all great men who have been able to do things in their special lines worth while whether on the farm, in the school room or in any other line of human endeavor, if their efforts were unselfish and worthy the young man who had been inspired and encouraged as a result of such efforts found himself, almost unawares, attempting to do some of the things done by that, great man whom he set up in his mind as his ideal in this regard. Strange Reasoning As strange as it may seem, there are some members of the race who cannot see the reason for members of the race giving their first consideration to the other members of the race engaged in business. Some of the near sighted ones among us have been heard to say: "I am not going to make that man rich, etc". This is exactly where the strange reasoning comes in. This is why those of us who use such words are called near sighted. We seem to over look the fact that in proportion as we are instrumental in building up strong and independent business concerns, in the same proportion will these same concerns be strengthened and enabled to give employment to a larger number of deserving young men and young women of the race. The worthy young men and young women of the race who are coming from the various schools and colleges every year are looking to the Negro business men, as they have a right to, to give them a chance to come into their businesses and put into practical use some of the theories they have acquired during the years of their school life. The Mountains Needed To the unobservant the mountains are significant only for their transient beauty and gorgeous scenery, which, in many cases are wild and grand; but to the farmer who tills the soil of the valley beneath, they stand for nobler and grander purposes. We will not stop here to discuss the building stone, fuel coal, lime stone and timber which the farmer must have in connection with the upkeep and maintenance of his farm which the mountains above must supply. As was said above, they serve for even a greater purpose than these. The valley beneath must be supplied with a certain amount of fertilization which the mountain holds in store. As the foreign and other decayed matter are washed by the rains into the valley beneath and enrich the farmers' worn out lands, then it is that the good farmer sees that the erstwhile weeless mountains are now needed. So it is with us as regards our few towering enterprises, matters not by what name they are called, they are all needed and are sewing, or in time will serve for a nobler and granded purpose than to gaze upon. Our banks, insurance companies and real estate corporations are indeed the financial strength of the race, and as the mountain towering above the farm in the valley supply, the latter with what it takes to enrich it and make it worth while, so also, do these large concerns of which the race is so proud, come to the rescue and supply the needs of many deserving ones of the race in the very time when the assistance of these concerns are most needed. Some of the Things Done From a publicity stand point, the mountains have told the world of the good accomplished by the race and left the bad to be told by the other fellow. In other words, the reputable newspapers, and magazines published by men and women of the race have made it their bounden duty to defend the good name of the race at the bar of public opinion, and mould favorable sentiments, as well as to defend fearlessly our manhood rights at all times and under all conditions. These towering mountains of financial strength have come to the rescue time and again, of the members of the race and lifted mortgages from homes with out number and as a result of which, these homes have been saved as admitted assets to the credit of the race. The Negro banks referred to as savers of Negro homes and Negro property do not get the full credit perhaps, which they so justly deserve. But for the Negro banks in our community to encourage our people along the line of money saving and home buying, there would surely be another story to tell. One of the mighty financial mountains of strength among the Negroes in this country, and perhaps, the most popular one of the entire chain is that of the industrial insurance. From the transcendent heights of this mighty financial mountain of Negro strength in the state of Georgia alone, it is shown by the (white) state accounts that the six Negro companies handle nearly a million and a half of Negroes' dollars every year. We wish we had the facts and figures coming from each and every home office of these six companies and had the time and space to show you in detail just how the huge sum of money is spent and number of widows and orphans relieved, as well as the number of young men and young women who are given places in which to earn a decent living. Now, if you are in doubt as to what the Negro Business League stands for, throw your doubts aside and join at once, as some of the things enumerated above are among those for which this local league stand. Come early to your next meeting Wednesday evening, December 1st, Wage Earners Savings Bank building. MISSIONARY MEETING Commencing tomorrow and continuing until Friday night there will be missionary meetings at St. Stephen's Church, Harris and Hubersham streets.

Mr. Styles visited many of the leading Negro playhouses. In discussing his trip manager Stiles says that he has secured some "big time" teams for his house, probably the best that have ever been seen in the Pekin. This is anniversary week at the Pekin and the large crowds that have been in attendance each night attest the popularity of the house. This week's bill headed by Prof. Hawk's Invincible Four, musical artists of much class, was excellent and at Thursday night's shows record crowds were in attendance. Patrons of the Pekin have been particularly pleased with the beautiful water drawing on the back wall of the theater lobby. It is 10X22 feet and is a scene of an Indian village It was drawn by L. Don Bradford, stage manager and a scenic artist of note. This is but one of the scenes with which Mr. Bradford intends to decorate the beautiful lobby. The other two scenes which will be painted on the north and south walls or the lobby, respectively, will be about double the size of the beautiful scene just fini-bed.

A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled God in His wisdom has recalled, The boon his life had given; Although the body moulders here, The soul is safe in heaven. Amelia Paige, wife Little Nellie Paige, Daughter. Who departed this life November 28th, 1912. Servant of God "well done," Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy. His spirit with a bound, Left its encumberling clay; His tent at sunrise on the ground, A darkened ruin lay. The pains of death are passed, Labor and sorrow cease; And life's long warfare closed at last, > His soul is found in peace. Weep not for death, Tis but a fever stilled; A pain suppressed, a fear at rest, A solemn hope fulfilled. The moonshine on the slumbering deep, Is scarcely calmer wherefore weep. Mrs. Mamie Mixon Mrs. Fred Mills, Daughters. In memory of. Whereas, God in His all wise wisdom has been pleased to take from our midst, a dearly beloved and highly efficient worker in the sacred cause of Calantheism we must profoundly mourn his loss, and while we bow in humble submission to the degree of a loving Father who doeth all things well, we would record and desire to have reported in our official minutes mention of this expression of our sorrow at the death of this our Brother, whose heart was always true to the glorious principles of the order, and whose daily walk show that he loved the order and in every honorable way and possible manner sought to advance the the interest and conserve the happiness of Calantheism. Be it. Resolved, that the members of J. W. Strauther Court 383, extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and intreat them to judge not the Lord by feeble sence, but trust Him for his grace; behind a smiling providence, He hides a smiling face.

This league, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownville discharge and won most fame by its protest against Federal segregation to the face of a Southern Democratic president who broke his pledge, believes that this real 50th anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great national meeting, together in conference of the colored people of this country. This 8th anual meeting will be held Dec. 16, 16, in the beautiful Allen A. M. H. church, pastored by the militant race champion, Rev. W. S. Carpenter. All colored Americans, who will, whether they are members of this particular leage now or not, but who are honestly and earnestly contending in the cause of full liberty and full equality of rights are invited. As the Jewish-Americans will meet in National Congress, so let colored Americans meet in a race conference, with no white true friends interested in our self-protective struggle unwelcome in Allen church, Philadelphia, on Dec. 15, Dec. 17 will be a general citizens' celebration of the semi-centennial of the enactment of the 13th amendment.

Ala.—Talladega grieves in the death of Dr. Booker Washington. On last Sunday morning Dean Brewer of the Seminary, spoke at length on the National Council of Congregational Churches which was held in New Haven Conn. He also spoke highly of Dr. Washington and the impression he made at this gathering. The news received on Monday morning of Dr. Washington's death was indeed shocking and unexpected. A memorial service to Dr. Washington was held in DeForest Chapel in his honor on Sunday Nov. 21, at 3 p.m. A representative was sent to the funeral services in the person of Dr. E. C. Silby. The teaching force and the students showed their sympathy by contributing a floral design for the occasion. Talladega shares the loss of the greatest leader the Negro race has ever produced. The program of the memorial service consisted in part: "Washington, an inspiration to Negro youth.....H. C. McDowell "Washington's Contribution to the White South.....Hon H. T.

MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN IN HONOR OF A NEGRO DEDICATED AT HARRISBURG, PENN By dedicating a fountain at Harrisburg in honor of a Negro it has been demonstrated that worth receive recognition North and South in spite of the color line. "A recent associated press dispatch from Harrison says: "This city to-day dedicated its first memorial to a Negro, a fountain at the entrance to the Twelfth Street playground, to the memory of Dr. William H. Jones, who died 10 years ago. "Dr. Jones was a man of wide popularity and served several terms on the school board. The committee in charge of the dedication included both Negroes and white men. "To-day's ceremony was in the hands of James M. Auter, the messenger who guards the executive department of the capital. Mayor K. Royal and Dr. Hugh Hamilton, of the Dauphin County Medical Association, were among the speakers." NATIONAL LISHI What has been acco within less than a deca to race development. ronage where members Gligantic Printing and Book Making Plant at Nashville, Tenn., Employing Scores of Members of the Race. Sending Out Millions of Copies of Religious Literature Annually-Marvelous Success Achieved by R. H. Boyd. Were some one to put the National Baptist Publishing Board's plant at Nashville in a moving picture which would show the wonderful achievements and the accomplishments of that gigantic institution that has been but up for the Negro Baptists of the United States and for their posterity, it would take a film hundreds of yards long which would entertain thousands of people. The National Baptist Publishing House has come into existence within the past nineteen years and today towers magnificently over anything which has been accomplished by the race, whether it be in the religious, educational or in the business world. It has furnished and is furnishing employment to scores of Negro boys and girls that hitherto were shut out of what is commonly known as the Art Preservative among printers and publishers. It has given a rating in the commercial world to the race and denomination that has no parallel. It has put the Negro Baptists on an equal footing with the denominations of other races because of the creative genius displayed in operating and maintaining the institution. It has forged a link in racial pride that has brought together more support for one institution than has even been attempted before. It has outstripped Jack's Bean Stalk story in its growth and development. It has served as an opener of the "door of hope" to the ambitious and deserving members of the race that has been closed to them by labor unions, which refused to allow members of the race to acquire certain knowledge in printing and book binding. It has put the race on the map in the theological world as producers of a religious literature distinctively their own. It has installed and is operating printing machinery of the most complicated and intricate designing and this, too, with the untrained help that has been picked up in the race. It has helped to make intellectual lights out of what has been regarded as a race of hewers of wood and drawers of water. This institution was founded by an exslave, the Rev R. H. Boyd, who still lives and who is secretary and manager. Many say that Rev. Dr. Boyd saw the invisible in his early Texas pioneer days and that after operating on a very small scale in his Texas home, he succeeded in convincing the Negroes to see the wisdom of supporting a plant on a national scope. It was the latter part of 1896 when he began his pilgrimage to Nashville, Tenn., after having looked all over the United States for a location that would be suitable for his work. It has been said that he was directed by God from his Texas home like Abraham of the Chaldeans when God said to him:—"Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee." Whatever way it was, it is a known fact that the Negro Baptists O BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH On Sunday last the services were very impressive. At the morning hour Dea, S. J.

Isaac Dunwood were held at the church Tuesday evening, he was one of the oldest senior elders and was faithful until his infirmities compelled him to remain away. He died in the faith and has gone to reap his reward. Midweek service Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock.

At the close of the last fiscal year, Dr Boyd showed in his report the work of the institution for the past eighteen years. The figures themselves are staggering. In this number of years the institution has written and circulated one hundred thirty-six million, seven hundred ninety-four thousand, three hundred thirty-nine copies of religious literature, which does not include the thousands of volumes of books which have been made up and distributed throughout the civilized world. They have written and received three million, six hundred eighty-four thousand, one hundred forty-nine letters and it is said that sometimes as high as two thousand letters are received in a single day. It develops that the National Baptist Publishing Board furnishes employment to more Negro men and women, boys and girls, than any other institution of a commercial nature operated in the race. Very little is said to be known of Dr. Boyd, who has refused all along to allow anything to be written about his life. He knows that he was born a slave and he was forty years old before he went to school and that his mother who died only a few months ago, was over ninety-five years of age. The Publishing House, his life's work, is looked upon as a monument of members of the race. Within its walls are written, printed and sent out more Sunday school literature and religious helps than from any other denominational house of the race; has one printing press that can print ten thousand Sunday school quarterlies per hour. A monument to the race, that he has built as an humble worker in his denomination and as his contribution to the race as a constructive genius. Nashville, Teen, the home of the institution, is now as well known as a religious publishing center as it is an educational center, havior been made possible by the millions of pages of religious tracts and literature that have been issued from this gigantic religious and commercial business institution.

CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD NEXT WEEK ASBURY M. E. CHURCH The officers and members of Asbury M. E. Church are indeed gratified with the success that the church has made under the able leadership of Rev. J. S. Stripling. His christian bearing bespeaks louder than words. This year being a hard one owing to the war, has had its effect on the country; business coming to a halt, caused very little money to be in circulation, yet our people have done well. During the fourth quarter we were able to pay the claim of the district superintendent in full, and are meeting the other claims. The rally was a success indeed. The church was divided into two divisions, known as the Germans and Allies. The Allies were under the command of A. C. Harrell, the Germans under H. J. Gordon. The Allies fought well led by their gallant commander A. C. Harrell and were able to raise $115.07, while the Germans came out with colors flying and raised $127.77. Too much cannot be said of the captains on both sides and the good women that bring success to all our church efforts. The resolutions that were read and adopted, touching the work of the district superintendent tell that his work was well done. The one commending the pastor for his faithful work and request his return to Abury bespeaks the high esteem in which he was held by his people. These resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. Members who were not officers also stood, so we hope to have him return to us. All are expecting a glorious time at the annual conference which begins on Tuesday December 1st. H. J. Gordon, acting secretary of the Fourth Quarterly Conference, Asbury M. E. Church, Savannah district, Savannah, Ga. Sunday services: Preaching 11 a.m., and 8 p. m. by visiting ministers of the A. M.

MORE HONORS FOR TUSKEGGE'S DEPARTED CHIEFTAIN the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the annual meeting of the organization one evening last week. Numéroous instances were cited where notorious instances of injustice on the account of the race of persons had been corrected an din others where liberal recognition had been accomplished through the labors of the Association. For prudential reasons, the names of the persons affected and the source of the influence drawn upon were withheld from publication. Nothing was said at the meeting to warrant the belief that the N. A. A. C. P., as a body, will permit itself to be led into the school controversy, the element that insisted that such a course should not be taken, must be accredited with some good, clean work. The association will succeed only so long as it "sticks to its knitting." Promotion for Deserving Negroes Additional promotion for deserving colored men in the Treasury department are being made. The latest and most notable is that of Mr. James D. Alston, who has been in the harness rendering effective service for more than thirty years, the major portion of the time having been spent in the division of appointments, where he knows practically every record from A to Z, and is a veritable bureau of information on a variety of important subjects. He is regarded as one of the most faithful and reliable men in the entire Treasury Department and his devotion to duty has been so strong that he has taken no full leaf of absence in all the years that he has been connected with the department. He is on the job every minute of the day, and ready to 'deliver the goods'. Mr. Alston is identified with a number of fraternal organizations as secretary and this together with his govern- (Continued from first page) labors that they come easy to him, and achieves the desired results with a minimum expenditure of energy. Mr. Alstin's new salary is $1,600 per annum. It will not be surprising if Secretary McAdoo announces other promotions of worthy colored men in a few days. It is habitual with him to place a premium upon efficiency and character in all branches of the federal service under his control. It is a pleasure as well as a duty, to a correspondent to give credit where credit is due. Bethel Literary's Banner Meeting. Bethel Literary and Historical Association has been having some banner meetings this season. Miss Marie A. A. Madre's fifth term as president bids fair to her best term and she is receiving encomiums upon all sides for the admirable manner in which she is handling the affairs of the organization. The public is giving enthusiastic support and each Tuesday night is a signal for an outpouring of the populace at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, where the society has held forth since its organization thirty-three or four years ago. The season was opened by Rev. R. W. Bagnall, rector of a leading P. E. Church at Detroit, Mich., who captivated his immense audience with an optimistic dissertation on "One Way Out for the Negro." Then came Prof. W. E. B. DuBoise, who elaborated on "The Pageant and Its Lessons," talking on the wonderful force that lies behind organized effort, directed along of efficiency and high moral purpose. The pageant chorus of 200 voices, led by Prof. Roy Tibbs, of Howard University, was a delightful feature at both of these meetings. The third speaker was Dr. J. Edmonstone Barnes, former director of public works in the cabinet of the president of Liberia, now traveling in this country in the interest of an industrial institute to be established at Monrovia. He spoke of "Africa as she was, as she is and as she will be," giving a very instructive presentation of the case of the "Dark Continent" that will yet be lightened and enlightened by education and culture and through the industrial arts. Major John R. Lynch, retired paymaster of the U. S. Army, of whose striking address an extended comment will be made in our next letter, was the next attraction and he received an ovation. Then came Prof. Herman M. Bernelot-Moens, (white), of Holland. Though a highly educated and influential connected gentleman of the Caucasian grace, Prof. Moens is consistent in the theory that, other things being equal, there is no superiority in the mere matter of color. An individual is worth his weight in intelligence and capacity, regardless of the race to which he belongs or the country from which he hails. He is in this country, making a study of social and economic conditions at first hand and in the prosecution of his work has come into contact with all classes of white and colored people, and his observations carry some humorous contradictions that any artificial barriers, based solely upon the accident of birth, are bound to disclose. The Professor is an earnest admirer of the high-class colored people he has met in Washington and elsewhere, and his forthcoming report is bound to be a brilliant contribution to contemporaneous literature on the race question. Prof. Moens subject at Bethel was "Civilization or Barbarism—Which." He told his hearers that the way to overcome race prejudices, which he declared was the basis of differences between the white and the colored races, was for the colored people to aim at moral and intellectual superiority. Prof. Moens is a scholar of international renown and is a specialist in embryology, paleontology and anthropology in the faculty in a standard university in Holland. This week at Bethel the speaker is Prof. W. H. J. Beckett, secretary of the Y. M. C A work, and who is making a tremendous success of his Herculean task of leading young men of the race along the paths of civic righteousness and moral healthfulness. His subject delt largely with the importance of athletics in the protection of moral and physical manhood. Miss Marde is a wonderful woman and with Bethel Literary as her forum sheis doing a wonderful work for the intellectual and economic uplift of all the people. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell in New York Tuesday evening in New York City. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the race's illustrious platform orator, delivered a notable address at the famous 5th Avenue, Marble Collegiate Church, to an audience made up of the wealth and fashion of the nation's methodist, appearing under the auspices of the Women's Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed Church of America. This is the first time a woman of our race has been invited to speak before this splendid organization and the first time the platform of this celebrated edifice has been graced by a colored advocate. Mrs. Terrill presented the issue of the day in a force- ful. yet graceful and diplomatic way and made many converts to the cause she came to espouse. Mrs. Terrill made a pronounced hit at the exposition in San Francisco and San Diego early in the fall and is in demand now for more lectures than her pressing domestic duties will permit her to accept. Town Topics in Tabloid / "The Colored World," which came on from Philadelphia, covered the Washington field admirably for two weeks, and then disappeared in the traditional newspaper graveyard. The reason may be disclosed later. W. L. BLUNT WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST. JULIAN WEST AND 23 JEFFERSON ST Prof. W. E. B. Dubois was in the city a few days this week. He made no public statement with reference to the financial affairs of the pageant enterprise, and did not offer any explanation as to the much discussed disparity between the size of the crowd and the total receipts reported. Mr. John W. Smith, of the office of the public schools, is getting into shape a mass of important data gathered by his father, the late Prof. William Henry Smith, who was for many years an assistant in the Library of Congress. In this capacity, the elder Smith was brought into daily contact with the greatest statement and jurists of the country and his recollections of the incidents in which they were active participants will make a book of intense interest to the student of history, and to the average son of affairs as well. Mr. Smith expects to have the volume, ready for publication in the course of the next few months. FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER AUTOMOBILESERVICE FREE. AMBULANCE FOR HIRE AT REASONABLE RATES 514 WEST BROAD STREET PHONE 2106 SAVANNAH GA. THE PRIDE OF EVERY WOMAN IS HER HAIR Hon. Joseph N. Ralph, the energetic and capable director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is coming in for warm praise at the hands of the colored people of this vicinity by reason of the large number of colored young ladies he is appointing to well-paying positions in his model establishment. Director Ralph is one of the most liberal of the department chiefs in the department service here and he can always be relied upon to give just and fair treatment to the colored citizens, both in the matter of appointment and promotion. A worthy colored man, given a new promotion recently was M. C. Maxfield, who is regarded as a literal "watch dog of the treasury" having in charge at all times millions of dollars of the government's money. Many colored families in this community owe their homes and comforts of life to the generosity of Director Ralph in placing their breadwinners on his monster payroll.

He is not in sympathy with the unceremonious "cunning" of any one's act and never judges without proper investigation, having at all times an open mind. 719 West Broad St. Phone 3570 Col. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., was in town last week. He is reported to have incorporated under the laws of the District an association that will undertake to build a monument in honor of the late Booker T. Washington. Before the country is in position to take a stand with reference of this delicate matter, due investigation will be made as to the wishes of the family and the authorities at Tuskegee Institute in this direction. The haste made to pre-event the situation is not favorably regarded by thoughtful people here and if the most fact is not brought to bear, even such a worthy project may be opposed because of the source from which it comes. The matter is being looked into and the results will be given later. Pate Says He has raised the price on very few drugs. On every side you hear about things going sky high.
