VOLUME XXXI WAGE EARNERSBANK MAKES $7000.00 IMPROVEMENTS ELEVATOR BEING INSTALLED IN BANK BUILDING $8000Christmas Fund Issued Dec. 11th Contractor Pharrow Expects to Complete Work in About Five Weeks Bank Receives Excellent Report From State Examiners. Contractor Pharrow of Atlanta is in the city making improvements on the beautiful $40,000 building of the Wage Earners Savings Bank which he erected last year. Contractor Pharrow says that these improvements will cost about $7,000, the principal feature of the work being the installation of a high speed electric elevator which will greatly add to the convenience of the tenants on the second and third floors of the building. This work will probably consume about five weeks, and its completion will make the building one of the most convenient and up to date office buildings in the city. On next Saturday the bank will issue checks to the members of its Christmas club. 'This is the first year this institution has conducted a club of this kind and the success of the venture may be seen from the fact that a total amount of $8,000 will be paid out of the inmates. Among the 656 members of the club were many errand, paper and delivery boys. There were four distinct clubs conducted, 10c, 25c, 50c, and $1. Beautifully decorated checks, very applicable to the holiday season, will be issued on the 11th, next Saturday, to the members of the clubs for the amounts they have deposited during the year. The Wage Earners is the strongest and largest Negro bank in the country. It recently became a state institution and the report of the state bank examiners which was made last week gives the institution an unusually excellent record. The report shows a paid in capitol of $49,900.00 of a total capitalization of $50,000: surplus and undivided profits of $45,670.89, total resources of $315,808.05 and a $01,376.21 valuation on the banking house. The 1916 Christmas clubs are now opened for membership and it is expected that next year's membership will greatly surpass that of this year. A report of the examination which the bank underwent week before last is published in the large ad on page four of this issue of The Tribune. F. A. B. CHURCH REMEMBERED THE POOR ON THANKSGIVING The Baptist Young People' Union served a very delicious dinner to the old people of the church on Thanksgiving day. About 25 old people were given dinner in the basement of the church, and 36 baskets were sent to others who could not be present. The B. Y. P. U. deserves much credit for the splendid work that is being done by our young people. Mr. J. S. Delaware is the president, and is an untiring worker. He is being ably assisted by a corps of assistants who seem to have caught the inspiration of service. While the old folks were eating in the church the young people entertained them with songs and music. After dinner Rev. Goodall made appropriate remarks, and offered prayer. The old folks then arose and complimented the young people, and thanked them for their efforts. Another Thanksgiving day passed into history with the grand old church emerging from the battle line with another glorious page added to her already proud history. Last Sunday was a glorious day at the First Church, early prayer meeting was well attended, large congregation at 11 a.m., and 8 p.m., the main floor of the spacious auditorium was crowded. The Order White Rose Tent was present for a sermon and prayer, both were delivered by the pastor. Our revival is still going on. A good number have already been converted. Baptism Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. Preaching at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Every loyal member of the Church is expected to pay $1.00 Sunday. Communion Sunday at 3:30 p.m. This is the last communion in the year and every member should be present. THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD LAD OF EIGHTEEN STABBED TO DEATH William Weston, a lad eighteen years of age, was fatally stabbed on last Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at Jefferson and Wayen streets, by John Reid, about the same age. He died a short while after the cutting. According to witnesses the two lads became engaged in a fight when both brought knives into play, resulting in Weston being cut in the heart. Reid escaped after the cutting but later in the day he was taken, to police headquarters by his parents. At the preliminary hearing in recorder's court Monday morning Reid was turned over to the higher court on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. The funeral of Weston took place on Tuesday after noon from Royal Undertaking parlor, Rev. W. L. Cash, officiated. He is survived by a wife and a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Weston; a brother and several sisters. LAWYER UNJUSTLY ACCUSED During the week a warrant was sworn out against Mr. Gen. W. Hall, a lawyer, accusing him of securing five dollars illegally from a prisoner. The case came up before the recorder and was dismissed. All of Mr. Hall's friends are glad of his vindication. Communion tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Rev. E. D. Davis will conduct the service. A special article bearing on the past foot ball season among Negro colleges will appear in next Saturday's issue of The Tribune.

(Continued on last page) URBAN LEAGUE CHRISTMAS FUND PLEASING AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED Individuals and Organizations Asked to Assist the Cause. Following its custom of the past two years, the Urban League will again raise a Christmas and Charity fund for the poor. Last year this organization raised for this purpose, the carrying of good cheer on Christmas morning into the homes of the indigent, nearly $500.00, the exact amount collected being $454.61 and the contributed articles by stores and individuals swelled the amount by approximately $175. Never before were the poor of the city so generously remembered during the Christmas time and the name of the Urban League was herald from one end of the city to the other during the holiday season. This year the league hopes to surpass the record of Last Christmas. Already the canvassing committee is out visiting the merchants in behalf of the cause and many valuable articles have been secured. To date personal and club subscriptions to the amount of nearly $70 have been received. The members of the league will institute a whirlwind campaign for funds next week and those who wish to assist this worthy cause are asked to contribute liberally. Subscriptions may be sent to The Tribute or any of the three colored banks. Those who have already subscribed to the fund are: Master Samuel Ayers.....$ 25 J. H. Butler.....1.00 Mrs. S. J.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Costumes for Shopping and Afternoon Tea HIP DRAPERIES AND PANTA. LETTES New York, Novembre 29.—Christmas is in the air! We are reminded of its nearness at every street corner; even the most matter-of-fact among us must feel its spirit and anticipate its cheer. Safe and sane Christmas shopping has been preached for ages but, nevertheless, each year sees the same crowd in the shops and hears the same question on every side "what shall I give for Christmas?" It is easily answered this year if the intended recipient is female. There are all sorts of wearables that may be laid at the dalty maid's door on Christmas morning to be received with little exclamation of delight. The Shopper's Costume If oe has time to tarry a moment or two at the main entrance of one of the big shops on one of these busy afternoons, they will have a revelation of clothes. Serge rules in the matter of suits and simple frocks; furs are much in evidence and never have we had a season when they were so be- © MCCALL The New Gauntlet Sleeves coming and so much within the reach of all pocketbooks. There are wide soft collar and cuffs; small round muffs, and any number of other accessories which may be made at home if desired, and added to the suit of serge to enchance its charm and style. Scarcely a suit or frock, passing in and out on its Christmas mission, but shows a touch of fury; braid, too, is having its day on taule and coat; one cannot but remark the wonderful variety in collars and sleeves. The majority of the suits show the high collars and many of the dresses too, although one often glimpse beneath top-coat, and suit-coat, at dainty, sheer rgette with open throat, dainty in its softness. The flair is the thing on collars, cuffs, tunics, coat edged and skirt hems. On many of the rippling coats and skirts, tape holds the ripples gracefully in place; this tape is arranged around the lower edge of the lining and is in the same color: often-times too, a narrow taffeta or picot-edged ribbon is used instead of tape. In the Way of Sleeves There is the leg-o'-mutton, the gauntlet sleeve, in many variations, the bell-sleeve, the angle sleeve, and the sleeve gathered at armhole and waist. It is quite a novelty, the sleeves gathered into the armhole; and it is true to its old-time inspiration, even to the slight puff at the shoulder. One of the most graceful sleeves of all is the gauntlet with wide, tight-titting cuff, flaring slightly over the hand. The ugliest hand in the world must gain in grace with such a cuff. The full gathered sleeves are particularly graceful and pretty in the transparent fabrics now so much favored for sleeves in all sorts of frocks. The serge coat dress is a general favorite for shopping and street ware. A particularly chic model is made with long, pointed tunic, gauntlet sleeves, high collar and a novel surplice closing. Blue serge trimmed with small braid-covered buttons and loops and a wide band of Hercules braid edging the tunic is the most attractive combination. The Charm of Hip Draperies We have always admired the grace and delightfully feminine note in the puffed and panniered figures of Wat- teau and our own Colonial days; these have returned in the smart hip draperies, panniers, and hoops of recent introduction. A soft saun, in dark tone, draped gracefully over the hips with wide loops suggestive of pockets, was trimmed with a bright contrasting brocade very effectively; the costume was worn at a recent charity bazaar for a Christmas fund and received considerable attention because of its simplicity and good style. How About the Petticoat Has the petticoat returned in all its old-time fluffiness and rustle, to add © MCCALL Graceful Hip Draperies to the bonfancy and charm of the full skirt, or have the dainty pantalettes, introduced quietly and cautiously at the beginning of the season, entirely usurped its place in the hearts of well-dressed women? One must admit that the soft frilled pantidette, or trou-er-petticoat, is delightfully practical as well as fascinating. The full skirt may billow and blow in the wind to its heart's content with no affront to modesty. These pantelette petticoats when worn with the tailored skirt or frock are usually in the same tone as the costume, trimmed fith self ruffles, corded, fringed or plented. For evening wear, of course, they are sheer, of chiffon-cloth, crepe or net, lace trimmed and frilly. HAMPTON WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Defeats Howard by a Score of 18 to 0 By Charles H. Williams, physical director, Hampton Institute Hampton, Va More than 3,000 lovers of the gridiron sport from all sections of the country witnessed the annual classic between Hampton Institute and Howard University on Thanksgiving day, on the Hampton Athletic Field, when Hampton became the champion of the Middle Atlantic States while Howard was crushed by the most overwhelming defeat of all the years of her gridiron activities. The weather man seemingly made the day to order, for under clear skies, no wind, and a temperature agreeable to both players and spectators, the greatest conflict of the decade was pulled off before a crowd wildly enthusiastic, including hundreds of rooters for Howard. News had gone out from Washington that Howard had put on the field the fast team the university had seen in five years—one trained in the intricacies of play, experts in handling double, triple and forward passes—so the great throng gathered to see a heart thrilling contest between these well-matched rivals, neither]of which had met defeat in this season's series. The loss of eight varsity players by Hampton last season was sufficient excuse for her opponents to think her chance for a good team was slim. Hampton's season began withalmost an entirely new line up, some of the men not even having played on the school's second eleven last year. But by the hard work of Captain Gayle and the coaches the greatest machine in the history of the school was turned out, a machine which showed mastery of the game and possessed both a wonderful defense and a superlative offense. The great offensive work that Howard had promised crumbled before the mighty charging of Hampton's forwards and the fast, hard tackling of the Howard runners was blocked by Hampton's secondary defense even behind the scrimmage line. At no time during the game was Howard dangerous. Only four first downs were made rushing the ball by Howard's backs during the entire game.

From the spectators' point of view the game was a fine piece of straight football playing, without any attempt at individual starring, the members of each team working together like well-oiled parts of some great machine. It was a hard fought battle throughout, but at all times a splendid spirit was in evidence, which is characteristic of Hampton-Howard games. The work of Penderhughes, McCain, and Matthews stand out for Howard, while Rigney, Atkins. Coleman, and Harvey did excellent work for Hampton. This game ends the career of three men well-known in football circles all over the country—Bryce and Beamon for Howard, and Gayle, the most wonderful player Hampton has ever produced. Hampton justly claims the championship of the Middle Atlantic States, having defeated Shaw, Union, and Howard, none of the teams having been allowed to cross her goal line.

High Ideals If we have high ideas we shall live good lives. “It is not in our stars, but in our Ideals that our destinies lie.” Freemasonry teaches us that we should labor to subdue our passion. Hatred, mutlice, lust and envy must never be- come our masters. To conquer one's self is the Nigh ideal our order teach- es. The man who hay ruled his own soul has conqueréd a greater work than one who has conquered a nation. Freemasonry teaches the equality of man, and that the whole world is one sreat family, It has attracted the art- Ist. the student, the poet, the peasant, the statesman and the monarch. Its underlying and eternal principles and ideals have united men of every coun- try and opinion and conciliated the truest friendship among them. Masonry is not a reformatory ine stitution, Men should be Musons at heart, before they should be allowed to enter our portals. ‘Temperance, prndence, fortitude and virtue are all Maconte ideals. | Kingdoms have arisen and fallen, monuments of man's greatness have crumbled into dust, ages of wars and revolutions have passed away, but Freemasonry , notwithstanding, has still surviyed. substantially unchanged in aim and end. The future of our fraternity de- pends entirely upon how Ioyal its mem- hers are to its ideals, If Masons are Zood men and citizens the influence of the order for all that is best in life will continue to extend its ever-wid- ening circles, and with xn influence, wider than ever before. Freemasonry has always been the exponent of free thought and free speech, and it is the steadfast champion of political and re- Ugious liberty—Square and Compass. We occasionally find lodges in New York as well as elsewhere, that take pride in their individuality, In intro- ducing little innovation in “the work” and in the custom and usages of the craft which makes them “different” from other lodges. Ina recent address Lord Barnard, Privincial Grand Mas- ter of Durham, took occasion to re- uke such lodges. He declared that “there was nothing more unfortunate than for a lodge to have its own pp- enliar habits and customs, and to say ‘we do this and we do that, which is hot done elsewhere’ Masonry was was universal, be sald, in its principles and practices more or sexs the samic the world over, and it would be a very seat misfortune for th e craft, he yentured to think, if each Jodee were to Henry Mears Feed Company WHOLESALE, AND RETAIL DEALER IN HAY AND “GRAIN OF ALL.

Saturday December 4th, 1915 This is tax paying time and the voters must keep in mind their obligation and start in time for the ide of next November. The people of Waycross have hung A. Knocker and enthroned B. A. Booster. The same is recommended to the colored people of Savannah. "Nobody on earth can fathom the depth to which man can descend, impelled by jealousy. Jealousy is as cruel as the grave." very truthfully asserts the St. Luke Herald. Personally, one of the best things is for a person to have confidence in himself, then he is bound to succeed if his aspirations are along the proper lines. Several persons have asserted that Col. Roo-evelt will again be a candidate for the presidency. So far he has refuted this by demanding the removal of his name from the Nebraska primary list. Congress will be in session Tuesday and the Democrats will hoist its measures in the country. The patriotic Republicans, altho in the minority, will sound the alarm at the proper time and keep the people on guard. It requires years of toil, sacrifice and worry to place on solid foundation a stable business, but how easily can the same be destroyed. This much the cofedored Baptist of the country should consider. They should rise above feeling and faction and stick to the National Publishing House in Nashville. Despite the hard times several of our people have done remarkably well during the year in securing homes and purchasing lots. The list could have been increased. if the more thoughtful ones would only stop and consider. We are looking forward to a great boom along this line during the coming year. --- More than eight thousand dollars will be distributed by the Wage Earners Savings Bank as savings from its Christmas Club. This distribution will make glad the hearts of many, and at the same time it proves how beneficial it would be if all of our people would systematically save their pennies, dimes and dollars and instill the same habit into their children. --- England continues to molest the shipping of this country by capturing steamers, searching them and giving annoyance in many forms. To all of these outrages the press of the country is silent and the administration seems unmoved. On the other hand, the least action of Germany is vehemently protested against. This administration has a peculiar way of showing its neutrality. All of the loyal race layers rejoice with the officers, stockholders and patrons of the Wage Earners Savings Bank over the excellent commendation given the bank by the State Bank Examiners. This institution has done much in putting the colored people on the map and now that its financial standing is approved by those who are in a position to know, all of our people should give it unstinted support. Republican politics in the state will soon be shaping itself and the voters will be importuned by the ambitious ones for places on the national delegation roll. The Independent of last week contained a large cut of National at Committeeman Henry S. Jackson, and paid him a glowing tribute. The Post came out with a boost for Col. R. E. Pharrow as one of the delegates from the Fifth District. Thus it is seen that things are somewhat warming up. The Christmas season will soon be with us, and many are preparing to remember those who are near and dear to them. In making these preparations let us not lose sight of the unfortunate ones who are in our --- midt. A few cents or a few dollars as we are able, spent on them would go a far way in causing all of us to spend a happy Christmas, and at the same time giving cheer to the poor ones. In order to reach these unfortunate ones, contribute to the Christmas and Charity Fund of the Urban League, an institution that has helped hundreds of our people during the past two years. BOOST FOR THE WAGE EARNERS SAVINGS BANK One of State Bank Examiners Speaks: In Glowing Terms. As already mentioned in these columns, the state bank examiners gave the Wage Earners Savings bank thoro examination last week and each of these examiners gave expressions of commendation on its very excellent condition and the conservative manner in which its business affairs are being conducted. One of the examiners, Hon. B. F. Perry, of Jonesboro, Ga., published in the Jonesboro News, white, an interesting write-up of Savannah and among the same was a boost and commendation of the Wage Earners Savings Bank. Following is part of the article: "At home again! Leaving Savannah last Friday night, passed through Jonesboro Saturday morning before many there had opened their places of business; and hence the hustling little city hardly looked like itself, as I turned over in my berth and looked as the Central sped on without even so much as a "hesitation," but as I, too, was in a hurry to reach home no complaint was offered: "The four weeks spent in Savannah were busy ones, during which time sixteen state banks were examined, and many of them were among the largest in the state. Besides these sixteen state banks, there are two national banks and a number of private banks. Hence Savannah's banking business is quite large, its volume indicating its prominence and importance along commercial, industrial and shipping lines. One of the best, most successful and prosperous banks is a Negro institution that is being conducted along conservative business lines, and is the pioneer Negro bank in Georgia. As a matter of fact, it is said that Savannah has never had a bank failure, and all now seems to be prosperous and are great helpers in the growth and development of the city and country surroundings." NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J C. Lindsey It is the great opportunities which a man has in his struggles in the great campaign of bread winning which he embraces, or, in other words, those which he makes the most of which entitle him to the things in this life worth while. It is not enough to tell others of what I might have had or what I might have done, when all opportunities for the having and doing of the things about which you are speaking have passed. The Negro Business League wishes to go on record as advising the young Negro men in this community to "do it now", and talk about it afterwards. The opportunities for buying desirable property in localities where one may have the benefits of the lights, streets, city water and other modern conveniences such as sewerage and sanitary drainage, are gradually slipping away from the young men of the race, many of whom seem to be spending much money and time upon things which count for but little, when figured in as tangible assets of the real worth of the Negroes' holdings. The ownership of a modest little home with a tax receipt in one's possession showing that the requirements of real citizenship have been met, causes the wife, the mother, daughter, sister and other departments to feel that their husband, son, brother or father is not only in a position to speak for them but can and will act for them as well. The Negro Business League in this letter does not mean to reflect adversely upon any young man who has not had an opportunity to be classed among the Negro property owners in this community, but it does mean to try to show the young Negro man what a worthless excuse he is for a man when he will allow the insignificant sum of only one dollar a year to put him in the class with the hables, and the "gal" babies at that. It is not enough to stand around and talk big talk about football, Jack Johnson and who is the best pool or checker player and all that kind of stuff to convince one that you are a man, one of the best evidences of true manhood, as we see it, is to do those things and do them right that the high class men of all the races are doing. No young Negro man has the right to walk up to a cultured and refined young woman of the race and look her in the face and ask her hand in marriage who is so ignorant of the duties of citizenship and racial manhood rights, and careless of the protection which the constitution has guaranteed to him through the weapon of his ballot, and is too stingy and mean to pay only one dollar per year for the privilege of being counted as a citizen, and voter, in his city, county or state, such a young Negro man, we repeat, should be forced to go way back and sit down. What protection can such a man offer to a young woman of the race? Has he any more rights than any other baby? These are questions upon which we want the which institution attended the funeral in a body and performed its last sad rites. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from the church and was largely attended, Rev. W. L. Cash conducting the services. Mrs. Heffron is survived by a husband, Mr. F. F. Heffron, two daughters Mrs. Lillian Brooks, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Miss Hazel Heffron, of this city; one son, Mr. Frank Heffron of Cleveland, Ohio; a mother, Mrs. Harriett Campbell; a sister, Mrs. R. H. Adams; two brothers, Messrs. Preston and Thurston Campbell; three sisters-in-law, and several other relatives and friends who mourn her death. than any other baby? These are questions upon which we want the young Negro man to think. The young man who cannot raise one dollar a year with which to pay his taxes, so he may become a registered voter and be counted along with other men, can he be trusted to provide for the wants of a cultured and refined young woman? If he cannot be trusted to look after the high and patriotic duties which must stand out prominently in the life of every man who is a man, and, if on the other hand, it is proven to be down right selfishness as the cause of his refusal to pay one dollar a year to become a voter, then, we are frank to say that the destiny of no woman would be safe in such hands. Again, we call upon the pulpit, clubs, heads of organizations and thoughtful ones everywhere to call to the attention of the young men of the race the error that they are making in not registering and paying their taxes so they will be eligible to vote like all other men. Clean up and Get Ready It is the admonition of the Negro Business League to all of our men in business in this community, to clean up and get ready. The holiday season will soon be on and our only hope for handling the trade lay in our ability to compete with the other fellow in every respect. The big stores in the trade center are being cleaned from top to bottom. The windows are being cleaned and artistically decorated. Their goods and wares are being tastefully display, and the question naturally arises, what does all of this mean? It simply means that a man who goes out for business usually gets it and the calamity howler who stands around and cries about "hard times" and the "war is on", will find that he, too, will get what he makes himself fit to receive. Let every Negro business man begin early to clean up, dust out and decorate; displaying his goods and wares to the very best advantage so no one will have it to say: I just trade with him because he is my color," but on the other hand lets force them to say that we trade with him because we get as good bargains from his place as we can get anywhere.

"The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."—Exchange. These Who Buy Them.

Sergeant Ballantine once examined the defendant in a civil action in England so dercely that after a quarter of an hour of the ordeal she fell down flat in the witness box and could not be further questioned. Chief Justice Erie, summing up, described Ballantine's cross examination as "an exhibition of brute force which I have never seen before in a court of justice and hope never to see again."

It took two years to put the works together. The Joy That Killed. A senator was praising the humor of a certain congressman. "His humor, however," he concluded, "is rather grim. I told him the other day about a mutual acquaintance who had died, a man he had never liked. "And his wife is dead, too," I said. "He himself died on Monday; his wife dled two days later. The papers didn't say what killed her." "She was tickled to death. I guess," said the congressman grimly." An Ornament to Paris. The Place de la Concorde in Paris is one of the most beautiful places of its kind in the world. It was not until 1763 that the grounds were first adorned by the erection of an equestrian statue of Louis XV, and Gabriel, the architect, constructed the balustrades and pavillons that are seen today. The present design, however, was made by Hittorff in 1854. In 1792 the statue of the king was removed by the populace, and the square became known as the Place de la Revolution. During the bloody period the guillotine was placed here, and Louis XVI was executed on Jan. 21, 1793, and in the following October the unfortunate Marie Antoinette shared a like fate.

Lord Woleseley maintained that Ostend would have been the scene of a desperate battle in 1815 if Napoleon's bodily strength had then proved on a par with his brain power. "The more I study the Waterloo campaign," Woleseley told Grant Duff, "the more highly do I think of Napoleon. If his physical condition and energy had been equal to the powers of his mind, I think he would have succeeded in his design and would first have beaten the Prussians and, then driven us back on Ostend. * * * In spite of his odious and contemptible character Napoleon was the greatest man of whom we know anything and quite unlike anybody else."—London Mirror.

"I had jest fell, over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg." Making It Large A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was anugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall. I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it hasn't be wetted now!"—London SOCIAL HAPPENING Mr. and Mrs. William McIver entertained informally at their new home, 1113 Gwinnett street, east, for Rev.

STATE PRISON COMMITTEE TO PROBE WHIPPING CASE Atlanta, Ga, Nov 23. The state prison commission will on Wednesday hold a hearing on the charges which have been filed against S. N. Nash, convict warden of Coweta county, who is alleged to have severely beaten Luther Shaw, a Negro convict, in the last stage of tuberculosis. The hearing will be held in the commission's chamber at the state capital. Shaw Died Shaw died at the state prison farm several days after the alleged beating, he having been taken there because he was not physically able to work on the Coweda chalangang. Prison physclans who examined Shaw after his arrival, stated that his body bore evidences of a beating. Shaw's relatives charge that the beating administered by Nash resulted in his death or at least hastened his death. When the charges were filed with a commission that body suspended Nash until the outcome of the investigation.

Webster, principal Nor- mat Dept., Atlanta University Tuskegee, Ala., November 17,—When rumor had become established fact, and we knew that Bir. Washington was dead, there came into my mind a quo- tation learned in carly boyhood, and which bas not returned to me in years. 1 quote from memory: “Good Lord, when oue man dies who wears a crown, How the world trembles, how the nations gape. But when that one man's victims, poor worms die (at his bebest) ‘Ye pitying souls shed not a tear from your indifferent cy¢s."* And T found myself by some subtle law of suggestion contrasting Wilhelm of Sertin with Washington of Tuske- gee. Wistory, I surmise, will adjudge the one as the greatest destructive force of ali time, and the other as one of the most constructive agencies of his generation. Resulting from tle action of the one, fifteen million men in sixteen months, have been “put out of the fight.” either killed or maim~ «a or health shattered. Under the heneficent work of the other, the child- ren of a nation with a poputation of one Inmdred millon have been belped educationally, as ideas, which — this man practiced and preached have been shown to have educational value, not alone for “defectives, Indians and Ne- xroes” as first stated, but for the children of all classes and conditions as well, ‘As & journeyed Tuesday afternoon to Tuskegve to represent a “sister” in- stitution, glad to show honor to the founder of Tuskegee Institute, I learn- ed that 2 death which had come to me as 1 lightening-fash out of clear sky was not altogether unexpected by those nearest him, and he bad been for some years a broken man, And on tho train T asked one much nearer to Mr Washington than I had been, if he was not the victim of overwork; tad tie not heen for years an over- Hired man? And the reply was simply Yes." And J wondered then and still wontler if the saerifice was necessiry. Carl Hilty’ remarked in one of his es— Says.

And I said to a student, as later I said to others, . “My boy, you will live many years, and you may know many men but you will neyer see such a tribute as this again. ‘There aremnot a half dozen men in the country who could call it forth. ‘This is worth of a monarch.” ‘And then I reasoned with myself. that in the case of the monarch one might suspect a certain perfunctory character; that was ‘absent here. | ‘The services were extremely simple, |and carried out the wishes of the family. and of Mr, Washington him- self, Ata balf-after ten the proces. sion of students. led by the schoo! band | started from the demonstration bulld-| ing, and the students were foliowed by the family, and these by the guests trom abroad and these by the tenchere and olticers of the school.

With these were rendered al- ternately certain of the old-time songs, evidently some of Mr. Washington's favorites, among these, “My brother's taken his crown and gone home", and “Swing low sweet chariot™. The list hymn, “Still, still with Thee, when pur- ple morning breaketh.” seemed pecu- Tiarly approprinte, beeause written by Mrs, Stowe.

This ar- ticle would be far from completion if |1 fall to mention the First Bryan Bap. tist Church choir, under’ the direction of William Rivers, and the St. Phill A. M. E. Church choir, under the direction of Mr. Taylor. These choins rendered an excellent brand of mu- sic. It was a treat fo hear them ren- der some of thelr’ selections.

D. M. Stearns, Our studies thus far have made us acquainted with many_pcople, good and bad, some better than pthers and some worse than others, but none without’ failure, and no rest for our souls but in the God of Israel, who often appeared as a mau and in the follness of thme Lecime man for us, God manifest iu the Mesh. Our study today concerns x king whose reizn was the longest of any, being fifty-two Fears, but he became proud and seit willed and died n leper. ‘fhe study of these lives is helpful only as. by analogy or. contrast, we learn to know the Living God, the God of Israel, for the whole Bible ts fatended to make us acquainted with God thut we may love and trust and serve Him and make Him known. Let us give a few minutes to Amaziah, the son of Joash and the father of Uzziah, whose ree- ord is im chapter xxv, He did right in the sigsi of the Lord in a measure and for a time (verse 2), but Lis record on the whole is bad. He turned away from followiug the Lord, ‘bowed down j to idofs und burned fucense to them, and when the Lord sent a prophet to reprove him he compelled bim to for- bear (verses 1416, 27). ‘ There was one incident in bis life the record of which contais a saying which has often helped mo and which I have often passed on to others. He hired 100,000 mighty men of valor out of Israel to help him in battle, and “bo paid them 100 talents of silver, A man of God wus sent to bim to say that he would not use these men, for- the Lord was not with them and that God bad power to help und to cast down. In reply to lly question, “But what shall we do for the 100 talents paid to Israel?” he was told, “The Lord is able to give thee much more than this” (verses 6-1). We need to remem- ber that God Limself hath power to help, and if we make an unyyise invest- | ment or lose anything we may fund | comfort in the fact that the Lonl ts able to give us murh more.

What an utter failure man is apart from God, for when this mun became strong his heart was lifted uy against God, and he traussressed siminst the Lord his God and even dared to burn in- cense in the huly place in the temple of the Lord, a thing which only the priests Were authorized to do. When the priests ordered him out he became angry, and then the Lord smote him in his forehead with leprosy, and he him-, self hastened to go out, He dwelt in a separate bouse and died a leper (rerses 16-21). In Gehazi the sin was cov- etousness and lying, but'in this man it was pride, self conceit, self will, All consummation of sin, as in these and similar cases. points us onward to the man of sin, the greatest representative of the devil that ever was or will be. who will oppose and exalt himself abore all that is called God or that is worshiped, * * * showing hiaself that he is God (II Thess. 11, 3-12; Dan. xi, 36; Rev, xiii).

Memory Verses, 8, 9—Golden Text, Hos. xi, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Again we are reminded that the two Ereat topics of the Bible are the love of God and the sinfulness of man. His love to Israel as a people is every- where set forth, and briefly summa- rized fn the first verse of our lesson. In Ex, tv, 22, He said, “Israel ts my son, my firstborn.” In Deut. vil, 68, He said, “The Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be,a special people unto Himself above all people,” and the only reason given $s “Heras, the Lore loved you." Of course Ife expected them to love Him in return (Deut. vi, 4, 5), and it was their fallure to do so, and thelr loving tols in His stead that gtieved Him. In Isalah, who was con- temporary with Hosea (Isa. 1,1; Hos. 4, 1). He says: “What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?” (Isa. v, 4.) In our lesson chapter He not only says, “I loved him,” but He also says..“"I taught Ephraim to go; I healed them; I drew them with cords of a man with bands of love; I laid meat unto them” (verses 1-1), Tle ever re- minded them that Ile brought them out. of the land of Egypt and that He alone was their Saviour (xiil, 4; Isa. xiili, 3, 11); but he bad to say, “My people are bent to backsliding from me. 0 Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself” (verse 7; chapter xiii, 9). ‘The sin was all theirs, His was the unchanging love, His yearning for them and desire to win them back to Hiim {3 seen in such words as these, “How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee, Israglv* “O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God, * * * I will heal their backstiding: 1 will love them free- ly” (verse 8; chapter xiv, 1, 4). Hear Him in Ps. Ixxsi, 10-16, as He again reminds them that He brought them out of Egypt: “My people would not hearken to my voice, and Israel would none of ine. Oh, that my people bad hearkened unto me and Israel had walked fn my ways.” It was the same ery when He was here in Lumiliation, “Tow often would 1. and ye would not.” “He was in the world, and the world was made by lm, and the, world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not” (Matt, xsill, 37; John §, 10. 11. What sm almost un- believable record it ix that uel a Ged of love should receive such treatment from those whom He so fovingly and patiently seks to Win to Himself that He mas bless them and bestow upon them Hix fullness! ‘hose who liave this world’s wealth to bestow hare no difticwtty in findin;s willing recipients, but the erext God, the Creator of heaven and enth, who giveth to all life and breath and all things, in whom We live and neve and have our being, can seniee get a hearing and receives, only inzratitude from those tor whom’ He does so much. Why does Ue bear With such a people and not blot us from wif the earth, as He did in the days of Noul? Because Me is God aud not min, and not willing that any should perish (verse 9; II Pet, iil, 9}. He so loved the world that He gave His onlé vexotten Sdn that we might not perish. ‘The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me. We bore my sins in {Ils own body on the cross that 1 might be delivered from the wrath to come (John iii, 16; Gal. ii, 20; I Pet. ii, 24: I Thess. i, 10), What kind of a bard, ungrateful heart must I have if such love does’ not constrain me to live no longer unto myself, but unto Him who so loved me? Whether in Israel or in believers! now, the heart is always the same, de-| ceitful and desperately wicked, But He is ever ready to receive and for- sive all who tnily turn to Him, and when the baekslider comes to himself and returns to his Father, even thouzh in rags and filth, there is a hearty wetconie for him, with no up braiding.

The| wanderer knew him better after bis! loving welcome home. ‘The dumb brutes kuow thelr master's better than | God's people know Mim (Isa. 1, % 3). We vaiuly think to please Him by sac- ‘fice aud offering, but we cannot until we have first allowed Him to hare mercy upon us (Hos. vi, 6; Matt. ix, 13).

C., Dec. 2—At largely attended meeting Tuesday nigh of last week of the local branch o: the Natinola Negro Business Leaguee "4 committee was appointed to draf appropriate resolutions éxpressive o the sorrew of the organization over th death of Dr. Booker T. Washington Following a general discussion 28 t a fitting means of perpetuating th memory of the famous educator, a rec- ~ommendation was unanimously adopt- ed, to be laid before the executive committee of the National Negro Busines League, urging the setting Apart of a “National Booker T. Wash- ington Day, on which occasion each Sear the colored people all over the land would emphasize the constructive work done by the deceased. A second recommendation was ordered to be _sent to the oxecutive committee of the “parent body, to the effect that “it is the sense of the local league that 2 suitable monument should’ be erected to the memory of Booker T. Washing- ton; that such a monument ‘should be fostered by the National Necro Busi. ness League, uniter the sanction of the family and the deceased leader and the trustees of Tuskegee Institute; and, that the Jucal Teague pledge its heart-| fet co-operation with the National! Teague inn movement looking toward this end,” New Protean Act and Comedy Drama Wort comes from New York City that the well known team of Fiddler, and Shetlon, both of Indianapolis, Ind., will venture into the’ realm of the semi-lagitimate. ‘They will soon pro- duce at the Metropolitan house their new protean sketeh and three-act com- eds drama, entitled “The Question of Race, or the Blond Test.” drumatized from x book of similar name. The play is to be presented by an all-star cast and with adequate scenic effects.

In the ease of the Creek nation, with wham the Negroes intermarried, the Cherokers point ont, the situation iy far different one, but in the Chero~ ee nalien there has never been an intermarcinge. Tn fact, says Mrs, San- ders, all tribal laws prohibit inter- amarriage. Mrs. Sanders, who is a ‘three-quarter Cherokee (the other quarter uot stated), was chosen at 9 meeting of the tribal council held at Stilwell recently, to represent the na- tion in the opening chapters of the cumpaism that is to be made for the Teeovery of the land in question.
