WILL CONVENE AT ASBURY M. E. CHURCH
About 150 Delegates Expected—Will Elect Delegates to Conference
The fortyth annual session of the Methodist Episcopal conference of Georgia will be held in this city next week, beginning Wednesday. The conference will meet at Asbury Church, Gwinnett street, west, and will be attended by about 150 delegates. Bishop Frederick D. Leete, D. D., L. L D, will preside
Much interest centers in the coming conference because of the election of delegates, one lay and one ministerial, to the general conference of the church which will be held in Saratoga, N. Y. in May.
The first regular session will be held Wednesday at 10 o'clock when communion will be given, followed by the welcome addresses. Thursday evening Bishop Leete will deliver a special lecture on "The Philosophy of the Happy Life." Friday evening will be given to Sunday school work and the Freedmen's Aid Society. Saturday evening the work of the Foreign Missionary Society will be stressed, this feature being in charge of Dr. D. D. Martin of Gammon Theological Seminary of Atlanta.
Sunday's program will be as follows: 10 a. m., conference love feast; 11 a. m., ordination and conference sermon by the Bishop; 4 p. m., memorial services; S p. m., anniversary of Home Mission and Church Extension Society, under the supervision of Dr. I. L. Thomas of Baltimore, Md. The appointment of ministers will be made at the conclusion of this service.
Among the prominent visitors to the conference will be Dr. J. N. C. Coggins, Covington, Ga.; Dr C C Jacobs, Sumter, S C.; Dr. W. W. Lucas, Meridian, Hiss., and Dr. R. E Jones, New Orleans, La.
It is not thought that the two churches here will undergo any changes in their pulpits, Rev. J. S. Stripling and Rev. Wm. 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.

THANKSGIVING AT THE JUVENILE FARM
Urban League Committee Gave the Poor Boys Much Cheer.
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.

“Washington undertook the mission.
He left the National Capital that night
for Alabama, and three days later re-
turned here early one morning.
About lunch-time he went to the
White House to report that former
Gor. Jones had accepted.
“He found the President at Iunch-
eon. However, the White House at-
tendants (the executive officers where
then in the White House proper) in-
formed the President that Mr. Wash-
ington was there. Mr, Roosevelt im-
mediately 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
luuching alone,
President Roosevelt Insisted
“Sit down and have lunch with me,”
sald the President. .
“‘No, thank you; I have been to
luncheon, was the response the col-
ored man made.
“The President, however, insisted
that Mr. Washington should take a
seat ut the table while the message
from Mr. Jones was being delivered.
Reluctantly, as Mr. Washington after-
wards said, Le did sit down, and par-
ticipate in the luncheon while he made
his report. °
“his version of the luncheon story
disposes of the popular impression that
President Roosevelt in a formal way
invited the colored edacator to Junch-
eon at the White House. After the
vountry begun to discuss the luncheon
some of the friends of Mr. Washington
adyised him to make public the true
story of the affair, but he never, did,
and Mr. Rovserelt also left the country
free to draw ifs own conculsion.”—
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 issne of Monday
this heading, “The True Story Told at
Last of Booker Washington's Luncheon
at White House,” which sought to dis
provd that he was ever formally in-
vited with a view of releaving Mr.
Roosevelt and his administration of the
stigma which such an invitation is sup-
vosed 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 Président as any other
American citizen living at the time.
Judzed by any standard of fitness, the
propriety of having him there could
not he chillenged. I said at the time,|
in an address which T delivered: “Why
shouldn’t 2 colored man dine at the
White Honse if he is sufficiently emt-!
nent and $s of thé right stamp? Is he
not an American citizen? Js he not a
part of this republic? Why should he
atone be shit out and all other races
admitted?”
Now, as to this luncheon, as the ar-
ticle in The Star calls it. I happen to
know, and to know from Mr. Wash-
ington 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. 1 congratulated him
upon it, and felt, and so expressed my-_|
self to him, that it was important, not
so much as a personal tribute to him-
self*as a fitting recognition of the
race with which he was Identified. ia
this act on the part of the President
of the United States. for the first time
in the history of the country, the col-
ored man was accorded 2 courtesy that
toners had been denied hin, while
it had been extended to the represen-
tatives 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 cub that was waiting for him and
was driven to the White House, prom-
ising me that he would return, if pos-
sible, at the Close of the dinner, and
Tet 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.

AMONG TRE MASONS
There is a Mason who Is perfect in
his work of the Order, always present:
at the meetings of all the bodies, dec-
orated with charms and rings and
pins, the admiration of litmself and
the envy of the younger brethren. |
But examine him closely. What is!
he outside the lodge room? If he is
selfish in bis ainis, hard with his ten-|
ants or employees, neglectful of his
family, unscrupulous fn his business,
smutty er 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 hin-
derance to the Order.
The strongest argument against
Masonry is the Mason himself. The
world knows, as well as we do, what
our Order ingulcates, 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 fs inflictiug a most serous
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 ther
may see our good works and glorify
our Father who is in heaven. If we
fail to do this, we areuntrue to our
“obligations—unworthy | Masons.—Ma-
sonic Light.
Bar the Improper
‘The Victorian Freemason greatly de-
plores that at the festal hoard, and
perhaps, at other affairs, connected
with Masonic doings occasionally songs
and recitations are intraduced that are
not in keeping with the high moral
teachings of the order, It is pleasing
to state that, so far as the Masonic
Chronicler in informed, such occasions
are rare in this country, for, gene-
rally. the harmony is of a high order.
Right here in Chicago, however, Mas-
ters have timmetiately and uneere-
monionsly seated entertainers who
sought to introduce vulgarity and pro-
fanity into the alleged entertainment,
The Masonic work is sublime, and its
sphit must be lofty. Obscenity, pro-
fanity, and all forms of baseness are

absolutely incomparable with Masonry,
yet somberness, depression and melan-
choly are equally inconsistent. Masoys
toll in a place hallowed by solefnn
and sacred associations the volume of

Order Prohibiting Masonic Emblems
in National Cemeteries Rescinded
| Nome mouths ago we spoke of an
order for ‘the regulation of national
cemeteries which prohibited the em-
blems of Siny secret order beins placed
on monuments erected therein. Gon-
siderable 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 ink-
ling of it, though the rule was first
adopted in 1908. Investigation at the
war department gave no definite in-
formation as to who was responsible
for this regulation, what force instl-
gated 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 yartons fraternities gradially
learned of the order, protests began to
come In. The grand lodge of Mississi-
ppi adopted a strong resolution of con-
demnation calling upon Cngress to set
it aside, whereupon Mr. Patrick Has-
rison, congressman from Mississippi
introduced a resolution in Congress
revoking the order, which was refer-
red to the Committee on Military Af-
fairs.
Mr. Stimson, present Secretary of
War, hearing of it, wrote a letter of
‘protest to the chalrman of the Mill
tary Committee, stating that the reso-
Jution as drawn by Mr. Harrison was
entirely too broad and urgently pro-
estat against the passage of the same.
This letter had its effect and the com-
mittee 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, imps-
tient of the delay. finally attached a
the resolution ax a rider to an appro-
priation bill avhich would havb heen
reported by the Appropriation Com-
mittee, of which Congressman Sherley
is a member, to Congress unanimously.
Congress then reseinded the regulation
and now there is no prohibition against
Masoniceniblems over our heads. Can
any good reason be given for such a
rule, other than the enmity of enemies
of cur order. who are unwilling for
the country to know how many of its
best and bravest and most distinguish
ed citizens have given their allegiance
to Masonry?—Scottish Rite Bulletin.
Masonry’s Simple Faith
sonry from a Masonie aristocracy.
‘This is erroneons, says the Texas Free-
mason, 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 ar-
ranged this glorious but perplexing
world with a purpose, and on a glori-
ous 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,
4 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 fruip in his own bo-
som. In a true and simple sense, he
belleves all the pure, wise and {fntel-
lectual to be Inspired, ald to bé so
for the instruction, advancement and
elevation of mankind.—Albert Pike,
Searcely a Masonie discourse is pro-
nounced, or a Masonic lesson read by
the highest officer or the humblest lec-
turer that does not earnestly teach two
extremely simple and profound prin-
ciples—love of God and love of our
fellow man. That fs the one true re-
ligion, 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 Mves, and by that
faith it will,couquer, 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 pre-
sent the petition for Masonry of ¢
man whom he does not know person-
ally, and for whom he cannot vouch ir
the strongest manner. .
Freemasonry, the noblest of all in-
Institution, was not founded for a
business advancement. It was not in-
tended to shield the guilty, foster or
abet crime. But Its great mission fn
the world is to mantle man with man-
lines, and thus, so far as human en-
deavor can, make of him a_ perfect
man in the sight of the true God.—
Corner Stone.
A man’s motive in becoming a Mason,
provided they are not mercenary, are
not a matter of great importance. His
motives and hiy 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.

MANAGER STILES BACK
Manager W. J. Stiles of the Pekin theatre returned to the city this week from an extensive trip through the south. 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.

RESOLUTION IN MEMORY OF OUR
DECEASED MEMBER.
Mrs. Sarah Jackson Graham
I dare not trust myself,
To take one step alone
But place my hand secure in Thine
And pray "Thy will be done."
Though dark the way at times may
seem,
I know that Thou art near;
Thy haud will guide me all the way.
Through darkness, lone and drear.
Through brightest skies or darkest
clouds,
Lord I would walk with Thee;
And listening to Thy gentle voice,
Submissive I would be.
Sometimes I may not see Thy face, When clouds around me come; But I can know that Thou art near, And say "Thy will be done."
Whereas God in His wise and just providence has visited our branch and removed from its midst Mrs. Sarah J. Graham, one of our faithful, earnest and ever willing co-workers and friend.

There is a Difference
Yes-slr-re-bob! The difference between the COMMONWEALTH LOAN & REALTY Co. and other companies of the same kind is just this: In other companies your interest terminates at the end of each contract, but when you become a shareholder in the COMMONWEALTH, aside from having the borrowing privilege, you will be a part of the company that will personally attend to your real estate interest, whether it be for buying, selling, or renting; and at the end of each fiscal year divide with you the profits coming in from all sources during that year. Our plans and methods are very easily understood. If you knew them you would immediately become a shareholder. Call at our office and have the manager explain them to you.

“This city to-day dedicated its first

“Dr. Jones was a man of wide pop-

THE CHURCH
ASBURY CHURCH, GWINNETT STREET, WEST, WHERE THE M. E. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Manager A. J. Thomas, of the Howard, will visit one of the Billy King productions, with a view of bringing the company to Washington in the near future.

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.
