CHRISTMAS CLUBS OF NEGRO BANKS JOINED BY MANY CHRISTMAS CLUBS OF NEGRO BANKS JOINED BY MANY ONE BANK TAKES IN LIMIT MEMBERSHIP 2,200 Cards Issued Christmas Saving Idea Popular with All Classes of Citizens—About 1,000 Negroes Join Other Christmas Clubs. The habit of laying aside a little every week for Christmas has never before taken such a strong hold upon the citizens of this city as is now the case, and all because all the three Negro banks here have opened up Christmas savings clubs, the membership to which range from five cents to one dollar a week. Up to this year only one of the Negro banks had conducted a club of this kind, but this year the three Negro financial institutions have taken up this popular idea of gathering in the spare change which so many persons are willing to lay aside for the rule-tide season. Among the three Negro banks there are approximately 2,200 persons who have joined these clubs up-to-date and the likelihood is that before the end of the month this number will be increased by about 300. In one of these banks the entire membership to the Christmas club has been completed with the exception of a dozen dollar and about twenty-five fifty cents cards, which by the middle of next week will probably all be taken. At this bank the cards of the two lowest denomination were exhausted early this week, several hundred persons desiring these cards being turned away. Among the three banks the 2,200 club members are divided, as follows: Wage Earners 1,400. Savannah Realty and Savings Corporation 700. and Mechanics Savings Bank 200. Aside from this number there are about a thousand Negroes who have Christmas savings accounts with various white banks in the city, making a total of 3,200 who stand an excellent chance of being "pretty well off" for the next Santa Claus season. CARNATION CLUB ELECTION The Carnation Club held its annual election on last Wednesday night and elected the following officers: J. B. Frazier, president; Joseph Brown, vice-president; J. T. Small, advocate; Albert Morris, financial secretary; Joseph Jones, recording secretary; Joseph J. Maxwell, treasurer; Richard Williams, chaplain; Charlie Tracy, sergeant-at-arms; Thos. Robinson, chairman of health; Richard Owens, chairman of finance. COMMONWEALTH OFFICE The Commonwelth Loan and Realty Company has taken the suite of rooms in the Williams Building which have previously been occupied by the Union Mutual Insurance Company, and fitted them up for office purposes. The fixtures and other conveniences have been installed. The company began business under bright prospects, and a long and successful career is expected. J. E. WESTON OPENS MARKET J. E. Weston, one of the best known butchers in the city, is now in business for himself. During the week Mr. Weston opened a market on the northwest corner of Whitaker and Jones lane. He carries the best of native and western meats and will appreciate a call from his many friends FUNERAL OF MRS. ROSA STEVENS SINGLETON The funeral of Mrs. Rosa Stevens Singleton, whose death occurred on Tuesday of last week, at Charity hospital, took place on last Sunday from First Bryan Baptist Church and was the largest held in this city in recent years. The church was packed to its capacity and hundreds of people surrounded the grave at the cemetery. The funeral was very sad and several touching papers were read. The music was furnished by St. John Baptist Church choir. Rev. Daniel Wright officiated. MARRIED NEW YEAR'S DAY Mr. C. A. R. McDowell, formerly of this city but now of New York City, was married in the latter place on New Year's day to Miss Marle Thomas. Many Attending Big Baptist Meetings DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS DURING WEEK Revivals Continue Next Week—Many Converts Made During Meetings The religious meetings which the Baptists have been holding throughout the city during the week have attracted wide attention and have been the means of securing many converts to the cause of those who follow the straight and narrow path. The meetings began Sunday afternoon with a mass meeting for men at the Second [Baptist Church and one for women at the First Bryan Baptist Church. At the former Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia. S. C., was the principal speaker and his address was indeed inspiring, beneficial and very interesting. At the women's meeting a large crowd was also present and the addresses were excellent. Aside from Rev. Carroll other distinguished Baptist ministers, namely, Rev. C. T. Walker of Augusta; Rev. Weston Brunner of Atlanta and Rev. LeRoy Butler of New York, took an active part in the week's service. The meetings will continue next week and many interesting sermons will be delivered. So far they have been very successful and promise to be the biggest revival meetings ever held here among Negroes. STATE FAIR IN MACON Colored Citizen of Bibb County Organized Strong Association Permission has been granted the colored people of Macon to hold a state fair immediately at the close of the white fair next fall. An incorporated institution will conduct the fair, managed by a well equipped board of directors. It, is expected to be the biggest affair ever pulled off in the state. ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs Estolla Hannibal of 512 Charles street wishes to announce the marriage of her sister Miss Eva Lorine Smith to Mr. Geo. W. Duncan, which took place on Thursday evening, December 23, at St. Philip A. M. E. Church parsonage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. H. Singleton. The bride and groom are at home at 530 Charles street. SOUTHERN DELEGATES Many States Will Have Less Representatives in National Convention Washington, Jan 2—The call for the Republican National Convention of 1916 was sent out to-day by Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the National Committee. The body will open in Chicago at 11 a.m., June 7. In persuance of the resolution of the committee, adopted Dec. 16, 1913, and since ratified by the State Committees, the representation of the south will be reduced about one-third in the convention. The changes in the number of delegates in the states affected are as follows: The original calculation of the committee in 1913 was that Illinois would lose two delegates, Kentucky one and Pennsylvania one, but it worked out later that the number would not change remaining at 58 from Illinois, 26 from Kentucky and 76 from Pennsylvania. HIGHEST MARKS The following are the leading pupils in First grade B, of the Maple Street school: December—Mattie Hilton, 98; Mattle Bell Mackey 97; Izola Thornton 97; Nathaniel Roberts 97; Emanuel Warren 96; Fred Bryant 96. Term—Mattie Hilton 97; Arlern Hammons 95; Izola Thornton 95; Viola Smith 95; Mattie Belle Mackey 91; Clinton Alston 94. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY JANUARY 15TH, 1916 JONES·FACTION WINS IN COURT Chicago, Jan 10—A decision rendered in the courts of Chicago fo-day by Judge Smith sustained the demurrer of Attorneys Walter M. Farmer of this city and Wm. Harrison, of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist Convention of which E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., was elected president. It will be remembered that during the month of September last year the Baptist held a convention in this city and divided into two parts over a charter gotten out by seven men. A majority of one hundred and fifty or more votes in the convention showed that the strength of the convention was against the charter, whereupon, Dr. Morris and his followers left the chair and the convention immediately elected E. P. Jones and an entirely new set of officers. The incorporated convention led by Dr. Morris got out an injunction to prevent the Jones people from using the name National Baptist Convention. The case has been hanging file and the decision today by the court is far-reaching, as it tears down and virtually eliminates the incorporated faction as a national body. The contest was sharp and prolonged. Able counsel represented both sides, and the demurrer offered by the attorneys for the Jones faction, every contention made and the five points of law presented were upheld. President Jones was reached by wire in Philadelphia and expressed himself as well pleased, declaring that he knew the will of the majority of the Baptists would be sustained. It is learned that President Jones will call a meeting of his advisors consisting of the chairman and the secretaries of the various boards together with the elective officers to meet in Nashville at an early date. TEACHERS' CULTURE CLUB The Teachers' Culture Club held its third anniversary on Monday evening, December 27th at the home of Mrs. L. A. Woodard. A programme in keeping with the purpose of the club was cagged out to the delight of the members and guests. This club was organized more than three years ago and has a membership of more than 50 teachers. It has striven at all times to live in accord with the purpose of the organization. The club is now reading "As You Like It", and is trying to study it in such a manner as to get the most out of it. The programme was as follows: Invocation, Rev. Mallard; Piano duo, Mrs. A. R. Holmes and Florence Callen; the president's address, Prof. R. W. Gadden; vocal solo, Miss N. A. Houston; annual address, Prof. W. D. Thomas; quartette, Mrs. A. R. Ferebee, Misses Williams, Shivery and H. C. Houstoun; a Shake-spear contest. At the conclusion of the programme, refreshments were served. In the contest, Miss Veronica Beasley won the first prize and Mrs. H. S. Chancey won the second. The evening was delightfully and profitably spent. NEGROES WARNED TO LEAVE IN LETTERS Threats of Violence Made Against Land Owners. Athens, Ga., Jan 12. Negroes, land owners and tenants, and white farmers who rent land to Negroes, have in the past few days been generally warned by unknown parties that if Negro families do not move out of an area covered by parts of Clarke, Oglethorpe and Oconee in twenty days from yesterday, their houses would be burned and they would suffer other violence. At least six threatening letters, none of them signed, several of them evidently written by the same hand and two of them stating, "we mean business," have been turned over to the United States authorities and postoffice inspectors. This is the first time such threats have ever been made in this section. The population of the rural section alluded to is largely Negro. CARD OF THANKS The relatives of Mrs. Rosa Stevens Singleton wish to thank their many friends for the kindness shown during her illness, for the expressions of sympathy at her death, and for the many floral designs given. Postmen Hold Their Election Of Officers PROF. GRANT SPEAKS AT THE BANQUET Enjoyable Evening Spent by the Postmen and Their Guests. By far one of the most elaborate and thorouly enjoyed banquet given recently in the city by any local organization, was the one which was given on last Saturday night, Jan S, by the local letter carriers' association, a branch of the National Letter Carriers Association. The affair was held at the cozy home of Mr. Andrew Monroe of Bird street, east, one of the local postmen. Prior to the banquet, the installation of officers for the ensuing year took place. Headed by Mr. Joseph H. Green as president-elect the officers were installed in a fitting manner by Mr. I. M. Jackson. Following the installation of officers, the members of the association and their guests required to the dining room where covers were laid for two score or more persons. During the repast which was sumptuous to say the least, and which was served in courses, Mr. I. M. Jackson acted as toastmaster and in a happy way introduced the various speakers of the occasion. Among the members who responded to toasts were Retiring President M. B. Bragham, President-elect Jos. H. Green, Messrs. Jos. Dowse, J. M. Ferreebee, T. L. Riley, L. M. Pollard and officers. Among the guests who spoke were Pres. L. E. Williams of the Wage Earners bank, Mr. Earl Ashton of the Royal Undertaking Establishment and Dr. C. B. Tyson. The principal address was delivered by Prof. S. A. Grant of the Ga. State College. Too much praise cannot be given Chirman Jos. F. Ford and the members of his committee on arrangements for the completeness which characterized every phase of the evening's entertainment. Among the special features of entertainment were the very funny slants of Messrs. Ford and Riley and the introduction by Mr. Jas. Monroe of an original song dedicated to the postmen of the Savannah office. OTED EXPERT ON PELLAGRA TO SPEAK AT THE TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE Of special interest to the south is the fact that Surgeon Joseph Goldberger has been detailed from the Bureau of the United States Public Health Service to speak at the Workers' Conference on January 20, 1916, on the subject Pellagara. As is well known, the south has suffered serious inroads from this much dreaded disease and the fact that an expert like Surgeon Goldberger is to talk to the teachers, ministers and other leaders who assemble here on Workers' Conference, on methods of preventing and treating Pellagra, is of more than unusual interest. In assigning Dr. Goldberger, Surgeon General Robert Blue states that he is assigning this expert for the purpose indicated above, because of the far-reaching influence of the Tuskegee Negro Conference. LAWYER PLEADS FOR NEGRO'S LIFE Kitchen's Case Argued Before the U. S. Supreme Court. Washington, D. C., Jan 11.—John R. Cooper of Macon, counsel for Robert Kitchens, a Washington county, Georgia. Negro, who has appealed his death sentence from the federal court of the Southern district of Georgia on the ground that since Negroes were not allowed to serve on the jury that convicted him his rights were abridged, made an able plea for his client before the Supreme Court to-day. Mr. Cooper said he himself had paid the expense of the appeal and that he represented an ignorant and imbeculous client and that he realized that he was pleading an unpopular cause. Cooper told the court that he had been in politics in Georgia for many years and that he realized his present course would make him unpopular in the state. He described his motives as a desire for justice to an individual who is unable to help himself. The state's side of the case was presented by Attorney General J. Clifford Walker. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mrs. Addie Tolbert Heggs to Mr. John H. Goodh, which occurred January 3rd. They are at home to their friends, 593 Roberis street. National Negro Business League to Hold Seventeenth Annual Session August 16, 1916 After a most careful consideration of the several invitations received from different sections of the country for the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, we are authorized by the members of the Executive Committee to announce that the league has decided to accept the invitation extended by the Local Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City. The meeting will be held August 16th, 17th, and 18th, 1916. It appears that the Business League has selected a most opportune time to hold their meeting in Kansas City, for as Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, president of the Kansas City local league says: "These dates fit in just right, as the Masons will hold their grand lodge in Kansas City during the second week of August and the National Medical Association comes during the fourth week." These two meetings in addition to the Business League session, will offer best possible, inducements to the railroads to make special reduced fares and will afford delegates to the grand lodge and Medical Association an opportunity some of the sessions of the Business League. The Executive Committee has also decided that it will be most appropriate and fitting that the first night's (August 16th) session be devoted to memorial exercises in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and first president of the National Negro Business League. Further announcements regarding the forthcoming meeting of the National Business League will be made from time to time thru the press. For further information write to J. C. Napier, chairman executive committee, Nashville, Tenn; Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tukegee Institute, Ala.; Charles Banks, first vice-president, Mound Bayon, Miss.

NUMBER 11. - NEGRO WILL NOT BE APPOINTED RECORDER OF DEEDS BISHOP WALTERS INTERCEEDS IN BEHALF OF RACE The Capitol's News Howard University Perfecting Plans For Great Alumni Association—Other News of Washington. Washington, D. C.—After eighteen months of heart rendering suspense, it is now definitely known that a colored man will not be named as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. President Wilson has spoken. He told Bishop Alexander Walters on Monday that, for reasons given at length, he would not be able to appoint a colored man to the recordership of deeds, but in its stead he gave assurance that he would try to find three or four other good places in the departments for his colored allies. It is now believed that the recordership will soon be filled and that the appointee will be a white resident of the district. The President is said to have told Bishop Walters that he would like to select a colored man for the recordership, but that his information was that such action on his part would precipitate a bitter race fight in the senate, resulting in ill feeling and no benefit to anybody. In as much as he would not be able to satisfy the desire of Bishop Walters and colored democrats so far as the recordership goes, the President is said to have suggested that he would try to find three or four good places in the department service, where confirmation would not be required. To carry out that promise he directed Bishop Walters to confer with Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury, and Postmaster-general Burleson for the purpose of having them find positions that would be satisfactory. The Bishop was compelled to leave Monday to fill church engagements, but will return in a few days to take a look around the department to see what can be done for his faithful followers. It must be said in passing that Bishop Walters has done a wonderful work for the colored democracy, altho he has had little thanks for what he has striven to do and none too much credit for some of the big things he has really accomplished. He has been instrumental in saving the places of many colored men of the opposite faith, because race pride was not confined within party lines. He knew that if certain colored republicans were removed, they would be replaced by white men. If colored republicans could be held where they are, their retention would be that much toward the sustenance of the race. This served admirably in the case of Judge Robert H. Terrell, for whom he made a stiff fight with the result that he was finally confirmed, altho a stalwart republican as well as Negro. We shall have a statement from the Bishop at an early date. As Is his wont, he will take the race thoroly into his confidence. Howard Alumni Association's "Get Together" Campaign. More than usual interest is being manifested by the alumni of Howard University in the plans which are being perfected for a local and country-wide campaign in the interest of bringing the graduates from all its departments into closer touch with each other. The general alumni association composed of the graduates from all departments, at its annual reunion in June last endorsed a plan which had for its purpose the inversed organization of local branches in all large centers and thru these keep in touch with the individual graduate, who, as a rule, are difficult to keep track of—especially so in the case of female graduate, who marries, and whose identity is more or less puzzling to ascertain. The plan also includes preparation for the celebration of "Charter day" of Howard University on March 2, 1017, when fifty years of the existence of this institution is expected to be celebrated by each local branch throughout the country in its local connection. In June of the same year the celebration at the university of this event, it is hoped, will be an occasion for the return home of every graduate FORECASTS FOR SPRING Wool. Jersey for Suits and. Frocks, Braid and Taffeta Trimmed LAWN AND ORGANDY COLLARS AND CUFFS WITH SUITS New York January 12.—Comfort and convenience—these are the two qualifications attributed to sport clothes since the first woman dared don a skirt short enough to uncover the tip of her boot. Would these same sport clothes be quite so generally favored, think you, if these were the only words with which to commend them? If there were not something particularly youthful and becoming in the chic severity of these same sport togs, their sale would be quite limited I am sure. Wool Jeresy for Suits and Frocks One of the most attractive of the new materials for suits and dresses is the latest phase of Jersey cloth. It is being used for the dresser frocks and the semi-tailored, for afternoon wear, © MOCALL The Cape Dress indoor skating, tea, dancing, calling and like purposes, as well as for the regulation sport suit. It comes in all the new shades, blue, green, brown, and the various other tones now modish. Often on the more trimmed of these Jersey costumes there is a touch of taffeta or a bit of braid. These suits are fashioned after the belted Russian models, the smart flared coats and skirt, and for the stricly correct sport suit along the Norfolk lines combined with an equally severe skirt. The New Cape Appears Among the new features which, of course are but a revival of the old, is the cape. This appears upon all types of frocks and suits in the form of a shoulder cape, sleeve cape, and cape collar. The full-skirted, simple bodice frock of taffeta, worn at an afternoon tea, the skating rink, or the concert, displays its cape collar, or series of collars, when it is not featuring a Puritan-like shoulder drapery, crossing surplice fashion in front, and held in place in back by a girdle, fro mbelow which tiny coat tails or tabs appear. There is some indication too, of the cape returning as a separate wrap; in fact pelerines of quaintly quilled taffeta are being shown to wear over light summer frocks and are now being worn in the south. Many of these display the unfitted, rather bunchy-looking collar which accentuates the slope of the shoulders thereby living up to one of the chief requirements of the present modes. Many circular and Directoire capes matching the hat are among the season's attractive fancies. Alarming Width of Skirts Paris is reported as practically losing her head over the width of the skirt. She gave out the pleasing dictum—"a trifle more length," just a while ago, and proceeded straightway to offset it by adding to their breadth. Many of the new skirts on Paris models, it is said, are gathering material in about the waist with no regard whatever to the figure beneath, in fact a woman wearing such a skirt or frock has much the appearance of an animated barrel or something equally ungrateful. The medium skirt with just a bit of fullness about the waist, combined with the simple quaint bodice now smart, are dainty and becoming, suggestive of the grace of the figure beneath, as they are. The new models so reminiscent of the days of 1830 and 1850, are full of charm if extremes are not indulged in. Batiste Collars on Tailored Suits Collar and cuff sets of organdy, batiste, linen, and other like fabrics, are to be worn for spring with dark tailored suits and dresses. They serve to brighten the costume and add a fresh touch which is dainty and grateful to the wearer. Colored sets, in Russian embroidery, are particularly pretty. Neckwear in general is simple and plain. Combination of Sheer and Heavy Fagrics. The popularity of using a sheer fabric and one somewhat heavier in the same frock or blouse, is a notion that © MCCALL Zuave Faille Suit is attractive and economical. Crepe Georgette combines well with crepe de Chine, taffeta, or faille in blouse and frock. Sergé and satin or taffeta, broadcloth and satin or taffeta, are favored combinations for the street dress, the touch of silk or satin in the same, or a contrasting shade, adding much to the beauty and the becomingness of the model. A simple serge frock gains much by the addition of a tiny turnover cuff, or a small collar of satin. Often the entire upper section of the skirt or bodice in the more dressy gown is entirely of taffeta or satin, while the lower section is of serge, broadcloth, or gabardine. Among the new materials for these simple dresses and suits, one sees wool poplin and similar lightweight weaves. A SLAVE'S EPITAPH From the Boston Transcript "Will the following epitaph, copied from the Portfolio, edited by Joseph Dennie, and published in Philadelphia in 1801-1812. be of interest to your readers?" asks a correspondent: God Wills, us free. Man Wills us slaves. I will as God wills; God's will be done. Here lies the body of John Jack, a native of Africa, who died March, 1773, aged about 60 years. Tho' born in a land of slaves He was born free. Tho' he lived in a land of liberty. He lived a slave; Till by his honest tho' stolen labors He acquired the source of slavery. Which gave him his freedom. Death, the grand tyrant. Gave him his final emancipation And set him on a footing with kings. 'Tho' a slave to vice. He practiced those virtues Without which Kings are but slaves. The Portfolio prints the following notice in connection with the epitaph: "Mr. Oldschool—Strolling through a churchyard at Concord in Massachusetts I was much pleased with the accuracy and justness of the antitheses, in the following epitaph scarcely legible through the moss of an inclining tombstone." CHRISTMAS AT THE FRONT By E. H. Webster, principal of Normal Department Atlanta University "On Christmas eve," said the corporal, "we started singing a few Christmas ditties. There was a big Yorkshireman in my company, with a voice it was a treat to hear, and he sang 'Once in David's Royal City', 'Christmas, Awake', 'O Come All Ye Faithful' and things like that, and the rest of us joined in as well as we could." "And then—would you believe it—we heard the same tunes coming from the German trenches. They were sing- FOR CASH ONLY LIVINGSTON'S 1c SALE EVERY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY YOU CAN MAKE 1c GO FURTHER THAN EVER BEFORE Buy at the regular price any article listed below; ADD ANOTHER CENT, and you will get TWO of that Article instead of ONE.

They knew the tunes every one of 'em, but not the words of course; they had different words, words of their own that sounded like a mixture of Welsh and Aberdeen, but the tunes were all right. "After a bit; during a pause in the double performance, one of 'em gets up on their parapet and shouts: 'You English! Oh, you English! Speak, you English! We are coming over.' We weren't having any for a long time and we stood at the ready for fear of treachery. But they kept on with their funny cry, 'You English!' And at last our sergeant says, 'wel,' what 'dye want?' 'Christmas!' they shouted. Let's have it together and no fighting." "As soon as we found that they meant it, we caught on; and we had a bully time. They were a great lot for singing, that lot were. We visited them and they visited us; and we shared up the provender as friendly as you please. "One of our chaps got plugged in the leg by a sniper while he was taking a'am across to their sides for something they'd got. They rushed out and picked him up and carried him back to our lines, and apologized, saying the sniper did not know about the truce. Then they went after 'im—the sniper, I mean—and brought 'im in to, to explain and to apologize to the man he'd plugged. And we got more and more joyous after that, and mixed up anyhow, till at last orders came from the officers on both sides that the Christmas festivities had gone on long enough and were stopped, for we were getting into the new year, you see, and were making peace all on our own, without waiting for the war to stop. "But the Saxons took a lot of stopping. They did not want to fight, not they. An in the end to get rid of 'em, we had to carry 'em one by one a leg and wing, back to their own trenches and dump them in. And they weren't all drunk either. "No sooner had the dumping, party got back to our lines than a German officer jumped up and sits down on the parapet of theirs with his back toward us. 'Get down' we shouted, but he took no notice. We kept on telling him to get down or we should have to shoot, but still he took no notice. "After a while, we fired over his head to frighten 'im. But bless you, he did not go then and what do you think he did. 'E turned 'is 'ead over 'is shoulder without shifting 'is position, and 'e says, smiling like. 'Oh you English, you think to frighten me. But I know that I am safer with my back turned to you than if I turned THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE my face.' "What could we do? We couldn't kill the man, so we just had to let him be." This account of Christmas in the trenches is taken from an English paper, and was written by the Rev. R. J. Campbell of London. Commenting upon this action, Dr. Campbell says: The spirit of the Christchild who was born in a stable and cradled in a manger will yet show itself stronger than Kaiserism and all its works. If on the other hand we are shocked and startled at the savage depravity of the German military methods we can but stand amazed on the other at the wealth of simple kindness that abounds conjoined to the most heroic self-sacrifice. The world was a worse world, a more sordid and selfish world, before the war began, than it is to-day. Commonwealth Loan and Realty Co. 509 West Broad street, shares $5 each.

Saturday January 15th, 1916 The death of Justice Lamar leaves a vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court* that is now being sought by the faithful ones of Mr. Wilson's party from every section of the country. Nineteen Americans were murdered in Mexico this week. Thus far the Wilson administration is silent. Death by hands of murderous Mexicans is more honorable than that inflicted by a German or Austrian submarine. One of the leading lawyers in the celebrated Mohr case now on trial in Providence, R. I., is Mr. W. H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass.. He is one of the ablest lawyers of the race. Mr. Lewis is representing the defendants. The national committee of the Progressive party met this week in Chicago. A call will be issued for the assembling of its convention in Chicago June 7, the same time as that of the Republican party. There is much significance in the move. Many are hopeful that it means the consolidation of the two parties. Among those prominently spoken of for the presidentian nomination by the Republicans, is Hon Henry D. Estabrooks of New York and Nebraska. His friends are proving his friendship toward the Negro by sending out a letter published by him in the New York Sun, April 20, 1903: "The problem as put by a certain element of the South is. How to eliminate the Negro vote? Thus stated it enlists neither my sympathy nor tolerance. To the Negro, as such, ought not to be denied a voice in a government, of which, by virtue of number and usefulness, he is so conspicuous a part. The Fifteenth Amendment was not a mistake. I am christian enough to believe that it was divinely ordered. Repeal that amendment and you block from our flag a star of hope, and leave millions of people orphaned of country and worst than slaves, for they would have neither the ballot for defense nor the protection of an owner's self-interest in his property. * * In a country like ours, dedicated to personal liberty and self-government the denial of political rights must be based on just and fundamental distinctions. * * So long as certain elements of the south cling to the hallucination that the worst of the white men is better than the best of black men, so long will the South suffer, and deserve to suffer; for it is a false conceit; a wicked conceit, an obsolete conceit; and freedom in its march will not turn backward." Ex-President Taft is mentioned for the vacancy on the Supreme bench. In this respect the Democrats will not be as liberal as the Republicans. In fact several Republican presidents, notably Roosevelt and Taft, tried to win the Democrats over, especially in the South, by appointing several of them to important positions. These appointments did nothing whatever in the way of winning votes for the Republicans and the appointees were as strongly Democratic as ever before. The best way to build up a party is not to placate others, but give preferment always to party men. It takes all kinds of people to make a world. It is said, and of these numerous and various classes which populate this mundane sphere stands out conspicuously a species which might be classified as brass band people. The brass band people have no notion of hiding their light in a bushel, or of keeping their right hands, in ignorance of what their left hands are doing. They love notoriety, court publicity and thrive on popular acclaim. What they do is all ways a little more wonderful than anything anybody else ever did, and their slightest movement is accompanied by a great flourish of The above was clipped from one of our exchangers and truly portrays the notions of some of our men in high places. Possibly if the yhad the gift to see themselves as others see them, a wonderful change might be wrought in them. WOULD HONOR THE POSITION President Wilson would lend added honor and dignity to the Supreme Court bench by appointing Judge Samuel B. Adams of this city. Judge Adams is one of the leading lawyers of this state, and enjoys the esteem of everybody. It is needless to mention his qualifications for this exalted position, for they are fully known. President Wilson will not be able to surpass the Judge in fitness for the place. REV. R. H. SINGLETON ENDORSED FOR THE BISHOPRIC Savannah, Ga., Jan. 11, 1916 Whereas, the duties of a bishop are not confined to any singular church, and the man filling the office means much to the entire people and thus the common property of all the people by virtue of so exalted a position and knowing the worth of the man herein mentioned, we, as ministers of the Evangelical Ministers' Union, of Savannah, in session assembled, do highly commend, Dr. R. H. Singleton as a worthy christian gentleman, viewed from any angle. We find him a model in personal conduct, scholarly in attainments and deeply plious. We find him to be especially brotherly in his disposition towards his fellow ministers, deeply interested in all things pertaining to the welfare of the race and we feel that he would do great credit to any church if promoted to the bishopric. We hope, therefore, that in deciding upon a man from Georgia, that the delegates in Macon, who meet on Jan 20, will favorably consider him among the men most eminently fitted for so exalted a position. J. A. Martin, president and pastor St. Paul C. M. E. Church. Wm. Daniel, secretary, pastor Palen Memorial M. E. Church. J. S. Stripling, pastor Ashbury, M. E. Church. S. T. Redd, pastor Butler Presbyterian Church. W. L. Cash, pastor First Congregational Church. J. L. Taylor, pastor St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Y. M. C. A. INTERESTED IN THE SELECTION OF DR. SINGLETON TO BISHOPRIC We the Young Men's Christian Association assembled, of Savannah, are much interested in the election of Dr. R. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip A. M. E. Church to the bishopric at Philadelphia in the general conference session. Therefore, we hope the delegates who meet in on the 20th inst., will favorably consider him among the strongest aspirants from Georgia. We take this opportunity to say this because of his great worth as a minister and citizen of Savannah. We find him intellectual, deeply pious, a model in conduct and above all, a high toned Christian gentleman. Signed in behalf of the Y. M. C. A. S. A. Grant, president and instructor G. State College. T. H. Hamilton, secretary. PRESIDENT OF WELLESLEY VISITS ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Atlanta, Ga.—On Tuesday, January 4th, during her brief stay in Atlanta, Miss Ellen Fitz Pendleton, president of Wellesley College, visited Atlanta University. The entire school assembled in Ware Memorial Chapel and after singing several Negro melodies listened to a short address from their guest. Miss Pendleton spoke cordially of the interest which Wellesley College has always had in Atlanta University and its work, and congratulated this institute for what it is accomplishing through out the south for the education of the colored people. Affiliation between these two colleges has been long standing as Wellesley has for many years been represented on the faculty of Atlanta University by at least one or two teachers. Miss Julia Ellis, for twenty-five years teacher of English at Atlanta University, and Miss Clara E. Emerson who is the present teacher of English and Latin, as well as several others whose service at this institution has not been quite so extended, are graduates of Wellesley. It is the training and idealism of young people educated at such northern institutions which goes to mold and make powerful the Atlanta University influence and spirit. This institution is one of the comparatively few places where the best and most aspiring south of the Negro race come in friendship and helpful association with teachers who have received their training at Wellesley College and similar northern institutions. The visit of Miss Pendleton was most welcome, and her presence expressed better than words can convey the cordial interest of Wellesley in the work of Atlanta University. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Under the special direction and management of the Ladies Auxiliary; meeting at St. Paul Church on last the Y. M. C. A. held an interesting Sunday. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. M. E. Harper, the efficient and hard-working president of the ladies auxiliary. The following programme was carried out: Vocal solo, Misses Belle, Brown and Lou Johnson; instrumental solo, Mrs. H. A. Chauncy; solo, Miss N. A. Houston; address, Mrs. W. D. Thomas. The musical numbers, which were high class in every instance, elicited much applause from the large audience. The address of Mrs. W. D. Thomas will long be remembered as one of unusual force and completeness. A rising vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Thomas at the conclusion of her address. The Y. M. C. A., both officers and members, are indeed much gratified over the progress the auxiliary is making and hope with its aid to do much real work in the interest of a realization of the Y. M. C. A. goal, a Y. M. C. A. building in the near future. Meetings held during the week by the directors of the Y. M. C. A. and the Ladies' Auxiliary were most encouraging and constructive. A vigorous campaign for the year is planned. On tomorrow an interesting program will take place. The special address will be an illustrated lecture by Rev. C. S. Dixon of New Bedford, Mass. There will be special music. The public is cordially invited. MILTON ROBERTSON, Jr., WITH WAGE EARNERS BANK The clerical force of the Wage Earners Sayings bank was increased this week by the employment of Mr. Milton Rorertson, Jr. Mr. Robertson, who is a graduate of Talladega College, is a very worthy young man and his many friends congratulate him in being connected with this popular financial institution.

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY NOTES Atlanta, Ga.—During the past ten days we had several distinguished visitors. Professor Charles Upson Clark of the Latin department of Yale University spent a day at Atlanta University and gave an address to the students of Latin, describing in an interesting way his search for ancient manuscripts in monasteries of Europe. Professor Clark had the good fortune to discover an ancient Latin manuscript of the Bible which he for the first time brought before the public for publication. In it the familiar proverb had the addition indicated: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; also to the bees" Professor Clark described to the students the discovery of this manuscript. He has recently had the distinguished honor to be appointed director of the American Academy at Rome, Italy, and will take up his residence there next year. Others who made short visits were Rev. Dr. Frank S. Brewer of Talladega College, President Fayette McKenzie of Fisk University, and Mrs. Charles Chase of Montclair, New Jersey. A rare treat was in-store for music lovers in the song recital to be given in Ware Memorial Chapel on Friday Evening, January 14. by Mme. Grace Brune-Marcusson of Chicago. Mrs. Marcusson has a beautiful soprano voice, and stopt in Atlanta on her way north from Florida. The Alumni Association has offered a prize for excellence in debate. Nine young men have qualified and the public is invited to the contest which takes place on Monday night. Jan- THE SAVANNAH, TRIBUNE ST. JOSEPH AIR SOCIETY NOTES To the S: J.

Dear loved one how we miss you, More than hearts can tell; Although Jesus has taken you, With him in heaven to dwell. All the sunshine of my life, Departed on that day; As the hour of twelve grew nigh, The angels from the heavens came down, And beared you to the sky You were the treasure of my life, I loved you most too well; But Jesus who has loved you best, Took you with him to stay. Sleep on my dear beloved one, For we will meet again; On the shining river. On the golden strand. With Jesus Christ our Savior, Then we will meet to part no more. Your devoted wife, Mattie Maxwell.

Gibson secretary-manager No. 200 Auburn Ave. Atlanta, Ga. Sam Langford, the Boston-Tar Baby, and Jack Taylor champion of Panama, will meet here in a ten round boxing contest at the Liberty Theatre on next Wednesday night, January 19th. Promoter Joseph Jennings who is placing this bout before the public has practically every detail arranged for the pulling off of the affair and there is no doubt that these two well-known fighters will be a drawing card. Every convenience is being perfected for the handling of the large crowd and the fight fans are already enthused over the idea of seeing the original Sam Langford in action and having as an opponent a man like Jack Taylor, whose clean and clever fighting has placed him prominently before the pugilistic world. It is the consensus of opinion that this will be the best contest ever pulled off in this city, as both men have been fighting recently and are in good condition. Langford is one of the top notchers in the boxing game, having been in the ring for nearly fifteen years, and has met with but very few defeats. From all accounts this will be his first appearance in a local ring, as well as his first appearance in this part of the country. The two fighters are expected to arrive in the city today and will immediately arrange for a place to work out. They will probably be introduced to the public at the Pekin Theatre on Monday night. Aside from the main bout, there will be a six round semi-wind-up, two fast preliminaries and a battle royal. The prices of admission will be: ringside $3.00; orchestra $1.50, gallery $1.00. Tickets will be sold Monday at The Tribune and other places. INSTALLATION The following officers of Chas. Sumner Lodge No. 57, K. of P., were installed at the last meeting by D. D. G. C., Dr. L. S.

ABOUT THIS AND THAT ee Saat Meridian, Miss—When the year ecbanged all people turned over a new leaf, and I was In that number, and I am determined that there shail cone from me every week now a letter to The Tribune. I hope that you will forgive me for not writing as I should have and as I started out to do, but you will hear from me. It will not be long before thousands of people will turn “their eyes toward Savannah, because it.is there where the hig Laptist Convention shall meet In September next, and already peo- ple are getting ready to ‘attend,- and it promises to be one of the greatest meetings ever held by the Baptists. I have decided that I am going to be “there myself. I find that newspaper writing is easy as I thought it would be, and I am getting my things in line to say all I can. I thought that I would have nothing to do but just sit down and the news would come out of my hend, and I would be considered a great newspaper man, but I have had one or two letters published and ended right there. Since writing you last I Lave been riding some and have been in touch with some big men, IT have had a long ride and talk with Editor R. R, Wright of the Christian Recorder, published in Philadelphta, When Y got thru talking me this year, I will get around over the country and Jearn how to do the work, ‘want him to correct me where I am wrong. Conferences have been held among the Methodist people, and they are now getting ready to hold the big general with him I decided that I did not kKuow much about this newspaper bus!- ness, yet if the editor will .indulge conference. I don’t know much about this general conference business, but I have learned that it will be com- posed of preachers and other men. The African “Methodist Church will hold one in Philadelphia in May and Mhe African Methodist Zion Church will hold one in Louisville, Ky., and these two sreat bodies will have some few thihgs to say about the future of men, measures and things. “The African Methodist Church fas many problems before it. One will be electing bishops. There are many as | pirants for the honor, some of them are real worthy men, No man has a cleaner record and is better prepared to do the work than Rey. It. H. Sin- gleton, of Savannah, Ga, Dr. Single- ton stands before his church to-day without, a mark. His aim has been to do right. serve Goll and help his people up the hill, He has won the place, and the whole country Is anxious to see him on the bench, He will rank with any bishop of any church. " I know that there are other men in Georgia who would like to have the place, and I would like te see them have it, but the man who should be erate is Rev. I. HL Singleton, D. D.. of Savannah, Ga. Now is the chance for Georgia to do something and T hope it will he done without question. I am looking to that end. I want to do something then I want fo see something done, and that ix the elevation of Dr. Sin- sleton, Then te New Jersey, and make Rev. A. I. Murray, manager of the Book Concern, and keep Editor Wright where he i\ hecause he fs some editor, he- lieve me. I would Iike to see the Zion General conference clerate one of Hts strong men, Dr. J. S. Jackson, of Birmingham, brt then I will not say too youch now.. - - =e Ihave been doing some riding. I have been told that there is 2 big war in Europe. I hope this is a mistake, for men are too wise to go to war now. Yet if thera is a war, I hope that there will not be many people killed. * We all regret to learn of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He ‘was certainly a strong man. While In Atlanta, Inst week I had the pleasure of meeting that great leader, B. J. Davis, district grand. sec- retary of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, for Georgia. I went to see the huilding there, and I shouted and cried, There was a block of build- ings owned by my people and by the Odd Fellows. The building I am in- formed cost $350,000. and all paid for. They’ own a half milion dollars worth of real estate.

Depart- ment of Agriculture, Re Mesias | et eee ee States, results In a heavy mortality among dogs in that section. Muny valuable hunting dogs have ‘been lost from this cause. Hecent reports indi- ae its occurrence in Alabama, Ar- Kansas, Oklahoma, South Carolinfa, Florida, Louisiant, Mississippl, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. As the name indicates, there is an inflamed and swollen condition of the tongue, which may assume a dark col, or. Such inflamation fs not confiped to the tongue, Imt may involve the membranes of the mouth generally, and extend to the throat, causing zreat dif- fieulty in swallowing: In fact, usually the first symptoms by owners of affect- ed dogs are the profuse flaw of saliva from the mouth, disinclination to mas- tieate food. and difficulty in swallow- ing, The breath becomes offensive, the animal is more or less feverish, and as the / diseace progresses, he becomes greatly prostrated, this condition of weakness being aggravated thru in- ability of the dog to take nourish- ment. Yartous investigatiors have constder- ed the diseaxe fMentical with the s0- calied typhus of dogs as occurring in Turope; others attribute it to the eat- ing of putrid carcasses In the field, believing that infection takes place through ‘wounds in the mouth from eating bones with sharp points. . As the xerm of necrosis hus been found in the mouth In certain of these cases. it has been assumed by some that it ‘may he a necrotés condition. At least one investizator, who has Stodied the the trouble, is of the opinion that it may be a résult of infestation with hookworms, wml is reported “to have been succesful In the treatment of Black tongue by the administration of tus] doses of thymol, followed vy a purgative dose of epsom salts, The true nature of black tongue, however, has never been determined, and fur- ther research WIT he necessary to es- tablish Its cause, * In a majority of cases the discace terminates in death, and treatment ap- pears to he of little avail eacept when applied in the very early stages. . Yarlous methods of treatment have heen enyployed, According to special ists of the United States Department of Agriculture, it appears that the hest resnits are obtained by the prompt use of disinfectants in the mouth of the affected animal before the disenne has advanced to any ithpreciable extent. For this purpose one ounce of alkaline antiseptic, which is listed in the Na- tional Formutar of the American Phar- maceutical Association, and can he pro- cured from a druggist, may be added to two ounces of distilled water, the re- salting mixture to be sprayed fnto the mouth with a small syringe. Wishing the mouth with a solution of potassinm permanganate, 1 part to 500 parts of water, three times dally may also prove beneficial. An offensive diarrhea fs frequently, associated with the disease, and to re- lieve thix condition If is advisable to administer 5 grain doses of satel 4 thes daily, or zinc-sulphorcarbolate [1 | doves of from 3 tw 2) grains several times daily. 7 | If the doz Is unable to eat, a: mixture | of ox aud milk “Should be given at least twice daily, hy pourkes it into the animal’s mouth, + In view of the possible infectious | nature of the disease, prompt removal - of an affected dog from other canines and a careful and frequent disinfec~ Hon of the kennels is recommended.

Se ee ae ee ee a aete, Cae eee Memory Verses, 16, 17—Golden Text, Rom. viii, 14—Commentary Prepared by Rev, D. M. Stearris. * after a lesson on Péhtecost and Pe- ter’s first sermon such a chapter as Romans viii seems to be an appropri- ate study, for in it the Spirit is men- tioned nineteen times In conucction with conversion, the daily life of the believer and the redemption of our bodies at the resurrection of the just. ‘The epistle begins with 1 statement by the apostle, as a servant of Jesus Christ, that he was separated Into the Bospel of God concerning His Son, Je sus Christ our Lord, who was with power declared to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead (, 14). He said that this gospel was the power of God unto salvation to every one that belfeveth, that ft made him debtor to all who had not heard it, that he was ready to give it to all and that he was not ashamed of it (i, 14- 16). In the following chapters he de- clares plainly that all, without excep- tion, are guilty before God and cannot be saved by trying to be good or do good, but may be justified freely by grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (ii, 9-24; fv, 1-7, 19-25; y¥, 1-11; vi, 23). Then in our lesson chapter, beginning with “no con- demnation” and ending with “no sep- aration” because of the love of God which fs in Christ Jesus our Lord, he sets forth more fully the benefits of this great redemption to every believer and to the whole creation. The whole chapter should be studied, omiting none of it - ‘The phrase “in Christ Jesus” (verses 1, 2, 39) seems to me to be the key to the whole chapter. Nothing more Js necessary, nothing less will suffice, for salvation or for the daily life of those who are saved. (Gal v, 6; vi, 15; Eph. 11, 10, 13; 1i1, 13). ‘The carnal mind, the flesh, the natural man, can never be improved so as to be fit for ‘the presence of God, and, although it remains in us after we become “in Christ,” we are under no obligation to 3t and should have no confidence in it, but continually, prayerfully and per: sistently reckon it dead in the power of the Holy Spirit (chapter vi, 13; vil, ‘24, 25; vill, 1-14; I Cor. ix, 27; IL Cort dv, 10, 11; Phil 1, 3). By the Spirit and the Word we are born again just as in the beginning of the Bible record the Ught shone in the darkness (Gen. 4, 2, 3; Il Cor. fy, 6), and only by the same. Spirit and Word can we live the life of a child of God (John vi, 63; evil, 17). The Spirit always works by the ‘Word and thus bears witness to the believer. The witness of the Spirit is not 2 feéling, an emotion, an expert ence, but is simply a resting unwayer- ingly on what the Spirit says to us in His word. Compare lesson verse 1¢ and Joln $. 12, and see my tract on “The Witness of the Spirit.” . Having received the Lord Jesus it 4s our privilege to know, on the author- ity of the infallible word of God, that we have become children of God, heirs of God and joint beirs* with Jesus Christ, have now eternal life and can never perish (verses 18. 17; John x, 28). While this “assurance {s not es- senual to salvation, it is necessary in order to live the life of victory that will glorify God. As the redeemed of the Lont we hare become soldiers of Jesus Christ and are ever in a great conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil, so there will be much to en- dure in the way of trial as well as much to do in the way of service, but the way Is all prepared for us and also the works we are to do. (I Tim. fl, 3. 4; Epk, vi. 10-18; ii, 10; Rev. 43, 10; Phil. 1,29.) God the Father, Son and Spirit are all for us (verses 26, 31, 34). All things are working together for our good, to make us more like Him whose witnesses we are, and we are assured that aN we can possibly need is freely given to us in Christ (verses 28. 20, 32) We shall not be the overcomers that we should be.in the process of being Killed all the day long (verse 36; Ps. Siiv, 22) unless we lay to heart our lesson verses 18 to 25. There is real suffering with Christ, not for our sal- vation, but In service and fellowship, for every believer, and we will not triumph in the .confilet nor endure patiently unless we have ever before us the glory of Tils kingdom, which we are to share with Him. The whole creation is groaning, and never Be- fore so severely as now (May. 1915), j ond there will be no permanent deliy- erance until the time of the manifes- tation of the sons of God—that is, the time of our coming with Christ fn Its glory to set up on earth His kingdom of righteousness and peace.

The meeting held recently at the Carnegie-Library was an earnest of the live organization that will grow out of the present movement. The fact that the general body has grown so unwisely has made the local organization scheme the logical solution of the problem and it will doubtless meet with general approval. The general alumni will attempt to carry out the pledge to the University of raking the $10,000 for the gymnasium, which was projected a few years ago. $2,000 of this fund has already been paid in. Mr. H. H. Pierce, a wealthy business man, formerly owner of Pierce's Hotel at Roanoke, Va., is in the city, looking for a suitable location for the establishment of a colored hotel.

By the decision of Justice Gould of the District Supreme Court, "Rule 45," which automatically separated female school teachers from the system if they got married, has been pronounced null and void—as "unreasonable," to use the language of the court. The ruling of Justice Gould is sound to the core and will doubtless be sustained by the Court of Appeals to which it is said the Board of Education is to carry it.—Lieut. E. R. Galther, of the Treasury Department, is to attend the banquet in honor of A. J. Thomas' assumption of the management of the Olympia Theater in Philadelphia. The board of education has selected the name "The Charlotte Forton Grimke High School" for the new colored high school, in process of erection. There is objection from some quarters, and the names of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, E. W. Blydon, J. M. Gregory, and others are mentioned as substitutes. The district commissioners may overrule the verdict of the board. If sufficient public sentiment is developed to make such change feasible. The commissioners invariably consult the people. The board of education rarely does.—Dr. Bruce Evans has made a steady gain in his case against the board of education, and in all probability he will be reinstated as principal of Armstrong Manual Training school and assistant director of night schools.—National memorial meeting in honor of the late Dr. Booker, T.

Mrs. Julia McAdoo is doing some excellent work in this direction likewise.—Dr. W. T. Vernon, formerly register of the treasury, is now pastor of Avery Chapel, Memphis, Tenn. The congregation is a large one, numbering over 1,500, and Avery is regarded as one of the most desirable pastorates in the south. It is said that the name of Dr. Vernon will go before, the general conference as a candidate for the Bishopric.
