(Continued on page eight) WIMBERLY CALLS JACKSON'S HAND Old Line Republicans in Favor of Col. Johnson A few brief years ago Mr. Hensy S. Jackson, now member from Georgia on the National Republican Committee, following his defeat in a democratic primary, flopped to the republican party in our state. He had been repudiated by the democrats and by them denied office. He came to us as a patriot and announced that he wanted no office nor would he accept office. Contrary to his high sounding declaration, he at once began to play for office. Through the grace of President Taft, who, to do him justice, was misinformed as to the political conditions in Georgia, especially so as to Mr. Jackson's political standing and influence, he was forced upon the republicans of Georgia as leader and big boss. He conceived it as his first duty to oust from leadership good men who had borne the brunt of party toll in the state for years; men who were southerners as well as life long republicans to the manor born; men who when the dark days enveloped the party in Georgia, stood firmly by their convictions and held aloft the eternal principles of the patriots who gave it birth and emblazoned upon its banner Freedom, Liberty and Justice. In the man's mad rush, vicious attacks were made, as they are now being made, upon that great, clean republican leader and gallant gentleman, Col. Walter H. Johnson, who through his own worth and work had made himself the idol of Georgia republicans and a leader whom they delighted to honor. I say through the grace of President Taft, Mr. Jackson was made national committieeman against party wishes, and thus the republicans of the state became as thoroughly distranchised, so far as party matters were concerned, as the large body of the Southern Republicans had become through the operation of democratic enacted laws, for the specific purpose. The result of all this was easy of prophecy. Republican leaders and the rank and file of the party resented as unfortunate Mr. Taft's foisting Mr. Jackson upon them. They went quickly about their business. The result was complete disorganization and repudiation of both President Taft and Mr. Jackson, In 1908 we gave, under Col. W. H. Johnson's leadership, over Forty Thousand votes and votes to the republican presidential ticket. In 1912 Mr. Henry S. Jackson got together for President Taft the disgraceful number of only Five Thousand votes, while Col. Roosevelt polled more than twenty thousand votes, or 4 to 1 against Mr. Taft, Figures don't lie. Read them again and again and then ask yourself the question, whether at the same ratio we would under Mr. Henry S. Jackson poll 1,000 votes in Georgia this year for the party ticket. In the face of the above record Mr. Jackson is at it again trying to act the boss and the bully. Several weeks ago he is issued his first bull, ordering republicans not to promise to support any person for state chairman; that he, Jackson, wanted as chairman a man who would work with him. Are the men of Georgia such craven cowards as to accept such an insult to their manhood and intelligence? If I believed in the transmigration of spirits, I would appeal to good men and true wrapped about the immortal spirits of the lamented Colonels John II. Devaux and William A. Pledger and Capt. Edwin Helcher to gird about them the armour of yore and with one fell stroke blot out the iniquitous propaganda that has for the past few years gagged and bound and disrupted our party. The Shame of it Mr. Jackson in his last bluff, presuming upon the ignorance and cowardice of the party men in the state, emits the following threat: "I have explained to you the backing I have been assured of receiving from the National Committee members and from leading Republican senators, hence it is all the more important that you do not elect a man for state chairman who would be antagonistic to me and who would seek to prevent my putting thru the recommendations I shall make for those who deserve appointments to offices under a Republican president. Unless the national committeeman and the state chairman are in harmony and work together, there will be a division of authority that would work only to hinder and delay and possibly defeat what you want done." SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 5TH, 1916 Interest In Booker Washington Fund CAMPAIGN FOR $250,000 AMONG NEGROES STARTED Many Letters Received at Institution Assuring Success of Movement Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—One of the most encouraging developments in the campaign for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund for the perpetuation of the work of Tuskegee Institute is to be found in the generous expressions of interest and approval that have come from all sources and sections. There is no lack of interest on the part of white people of black people, north or south, east or west. Dr. Washington enjoyed the friendship and good-will of citizens throut the country, and now that it is proposed that the institution that he founded shall be preserved as a national memorial, these friends have come forward and pledged their continued interest and support of the work for which he gave his very life. When the news of his death was flashed over the wires, the chairman of the Institute Board of Trustees telegraphed: "The trustees will not fail you in your hour of need." When the message was published in the newspapers, a southern white man is quoted as having said: "Yes, and the southern white people will do their part to see that Booker T. Washington's work goes on." Now, if there have been any questions as to what the colored people intend doing towards the preservation of the work founded by Dr. Washington, it is only necessary to refer to the numberless letters from colored people sent to Tuskegee after his death, pledging their support and promising contributions toward a Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. The present campaign in the interest of the fund will afford these good friends an opportunity to contribute toward the perpetuation of the work of Tuskegee Institute. The trustees have decided that a part of the contribution from the colored people shall go into a permanent memorial—that is, a building, a statue, or a monument of some other character. The campaign to raise $250,000 from raising the colored people is on. Building at home, the active campaign for funds was started among the teachers and workers of the Institute. The first day this local campaign netted nearly $1,000,000, and it has just begun. Tu-Legaee Institute is not a local institution. It is national, and in a large measure, international. It must be preserved, primarily for the training of the Negro, but in an even larger sense because it represents the largest contribution of Negro achievement to pre-en-fiday civilization. In order that the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum, it has been decided by the trustees of the Institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed, and that all funds collected shall be sent directly to and acknowledged from Tuskegee Institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, treasurer. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Friends or organizations interested are requested to write Emmett J. Scott secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., for further information. Pharrow Talks Interestingly About Odd Fellow Affairs. There are always two sides to every question, and in defense of the Odd Fellows of Georgia, who are rejoicing at the actions of the Sub-Committee of Management at its January session in Philadelphia, I want, for the benefit of those who have only seen the side of the men suspended, to state at least a part of the side of the thousands who have great and excellent reasons to be proud of the actions taken by our highest tribunal. In what is called "a statement of the case" in the Atlanta Independent of January 29, Messrs Ingram and Dayls, the two suspended members, set up a weak defense of their own cause, and seek to show the Odd Fellows of Georgia and the country that "they were unanimously elected officers and servants of the old Georgia W. J. SINGLETON HEADS WELL- KNOWN WASHINGTON CLUB Other Interesting News of the Nation's Capitol Washington, D. C., Feb. 2—Mr. Walter J. Singleton, one of the most popular and capable men at the nation's capitol, has been unanimously elected president of the famous Mu-So-Lit Club, one of the leading social organizations of this country. Mr. Singleton came to Washington several years ago from Omaha, Neb., and has since served most efficiently as a clerk in the bureau of insular affairs, war department, and has won a number of merited promotions. He has given an excellent account of himself as president of the Young Men's Protective League, and is now vice-president of the Banneker Relief Association and secretary of the Y. M. P. L. He was chairman of the general committee on the Citizen's Inaugural reception in 1913 and has rendered much service in connection with every major civic demonstration held in the District since his coming here. The other members of the Mu-So-Lit Club's official family are: L. M. Hershaw, first vice-president; R. W. Thompson, second vice-president; A. Mercer Daniel, financial secretary; F. Morris Murray, corresponding secretary; Charles P. Ford, recording secretary; Addison N. Scurlock, treasurer. Frank L. Cardozo, of the public schools, is chairman of the executive committee, with James L. Chestnut, A Kiger Savoy, Charles E. Hall, Jay W. Clifford, Frank A. Byron and F. N. Parks as hist associate members President Singleton signalized the opening of his administration in happy fashion last Saturday evening by holding a magnificent reception to the officers and members of the executive committee at his beautiful home, in connection with a business session of the executive committee. New Hotel-Apartment 'House A company of capitalist, made up of representative white and colored citizens of Washington, is being formed for the purpose of erecting on a suitable site in the northwestern section of the capital, a five hotel and apartment house. The proposed structure, according to the plans prepared tentatively by a local architect, will be seven stories high, embracing 60 or 70 rooms, and will be modern in all of its appointments, combining all of the best features of a hotel and residence apartment under a single roof. Provision is made for a cafe, grill room, buffet, ample dining hall, ball room on the top floor, and elevator service. It is likely that fully $100,000 will be invested in the enterprise. Stock will be sold to Negroes in all parts of the country and an effort will be made to make the movement a truly national one. It is an open secret that white capital will be secured to make the enterprise a "go", but the general direction of the campaign will be in the hands of reliable colored men. The Mohr trial at Providence, R. I. is attracting a large measure of attention here by rea-on of the prominence in the case of William II. Lewis, who was one a resident of this city while serving as assistant attorney-general of the United States.. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Ala.. passed thru the city this week, en route to his post. He has been to New York attending the session of the board of trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund for the development of rural schools in the south. Mr. Scott was elected as a member of the Jeanes Fund board of trustees to succeed Dr. Washington. The election of Hon John C. Dancy as financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion connection takes the distinguished churchman to Philadelphia, where the headquarters of the financial board has been re-established. During a large portion of the tenure of Rev. J. S. Jackson the headquarters had been at Birmingham, Ala., the home of the deposed official. Until the session of the general conference in May, Mr. Dancy will carry the double burden of financial secretary and secretary of the church extension board. Don't forget the concert at the Liberty theater February 14th, by the Allied Charities, presenting the famous Williams Jubilee singers of Chicago. SPENCE GIVES JACKSON HOT ANSWER My dear Sir: I have read with mingled emotions of humor, pity and indignation, your letter of the 5th inst., addressed "To Republicans of Georgia." The seriousness with which you take yourself is humorous, the failures which follow all your efforts in essential matters are pitiful, while the presumptuous manner in which you assume to dictate to Georgia Republicans warrants scornful indignation from all those men who for a quarter of a century have carried the banner of Republicanism in this state. The humor of your letter I can ignore, for one does not have to be a Bill Nye or Josh Billings to see it; besides it is almost irrelevant, as I want to take broad, high grounds when I discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the Republican party. As to the success or failure of your "stewardship:" First, let us see upon what grounds you claim to be our steward. After being defeated and repudiated in a Democratic primary you came into the Republican party. It is well-known that this step was not prompted by any sympathy you held for Republican principles, or the personnel of Georgia Republicans, but for the reason of personal relations existing between your family and Mr. Taft, and the entree you thought this relationship would give you, especially if you could pose as a Republican. When you became an annex to the Republican party you stated that you not only would not seek any office, but that you would not accept or hold any office that might be tendered you. How you broke these promises is too well known. When the Republican party of Georgia submitted to your being forced on them as their National Committeeman by outside influences, they had an effective, harmonious organization. They had carried for the Republican presidential candidate, twenty-eight counties, two Congressional, districts, and polled 41,292 votes in 1908, whereas under the discordant, blighting effect of your leadership, and those you tell us you represent, not a district, not a single county went for the republican candidate in 1912, and only 5,191 votes were cast for him. Since the election in 1912 you have by your over-bearing and dictatorial manner, alienated the respect and good will of practically all of those who were closest to you in party affairs, and right now you tell of your "failure" to get any southern delegate to agree with or support you, even after three days' conference with them. You seek to gloss over this "failure," in the only essential duty you had, i.e., the prevention of any reduction in the number of delegates from Georgia to the National Convention, by bidding out such contingency bait as alleged assurances of "forceful and energetic Republican senators that they would represent you just as if they were the senators from this state." Where was this "backing," you were assured of receiving from national committee members and leading republican senators, (some of whom "told honored Georgia Republicans that they must make terms with you") that they would leave you "single handed and alone" in the defense of our just and inherent rights? For twenty years this issue has been raised and fought but, herefore, always defeated until you, Henry S. Jackson, were entrusted to its guardianship. Your impudence in assuming to dictate to the Republicans of Georgia as to when and where this convention should be held; their committal and non-committal to any particular candidate for state chairman; shows your ignorance of that independent manhood, born, bred and fostered in the breasts of the sons of those men who sacrificed everything but honor for the Union and Republican principles. The keenness of your desire to eliminate the present chairman is not veiled by your assurance that he has several times told you that he would not be a candidate for re-election. It is well-known that Col. Johnson, were he to consider his personal inclinations alone, would not be a candidate for any political preferment. But it is also, well known, and more shame to your lack of discordment, (or is it duplicity?) that you do not know that School On Wheels Here Next Week School On Wheels Here Next Week DEMONSTRATION CAR HAS ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION Demonstrator Williams will Exhibit Car Here Next Thursday The movable school known as the school on wheels which is being exhibited throut the state by the United States government, the Georgia State Agricultural department, the Central of Georgia and the Ga. State College, will be seen here on Thursday of next week, February 10th. The exhibit is in charge of United States Demonstrator Eugene A. Williams whose headquarters are at the Ga. State College. Demonstrator Williams has gotten together an excellent display of farm products and the car which has attracted wide attention wherever it has stopped throut the state, is well worth inspecting. The products which are on display in the car, are all grown by Negro farmers and are gathered from all sections of the state. The exhibit shows an earnest effort on the part of the Negro farmer to improve the quality of the products grown by him, and some of the exhibits are among the best ever displayed by Georgia farmers. During the month of January it is estimated that about 24,000 persons visited the car and in many places where it stopped holidays were granted the children that they might witness the admirable collection of farm products by thrifty, energetic and intelligent -Negro' farmers. It is thought that Supt. Ashmore will grant the local school children here an opportunity to view the display. A brief program has been arranged for the exhibition of the car here, beginning at noon Thursday. Among those who are scheduled to speak are Gen. P. W. Meldrim, Supt. Otis Ashmore, Mayor Pierpont, Mr. J. F. Jackson, agricultural agent, and Prof. R. R. Wright. LINCOLN—DOUGLASS EXERCISES FRIDAY NIGHT, FEB. 11TH On Friday night of next week at St. John Baptist Church, the Emancipation Association will hold a Lincoln-Douglas celebration at which the following programme will be render- J. S. Irly; music. Mt. Zion choir; address on Lincoln, Prof H. Pearson; ed: Music, Mt. Zion choir; paper, Rev sola Miss N. M. Hart; address on Douglass, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels; music, Mt. Zion choir. Don't forget the concert at the Liberty theater February 14th, by the Allied Charities, presenting the famous Williams Jubilee singers of Chicago. the "Grand Old Man" would respond to the call of party duty. Do not, for a moment, suppose that Georgia Republicans are not aware that your term as National Committeeman ends on June 7, 1916. Why do you assume that you are again to be National Committeeman for Georgia? Is your assumption based on performance of duty; or merely on desire for place? If you can show Republicans of this state one thing you have done enuring to the good of the party, there is some justice in your assumption. If nothing else condemn you, the insignificant vote of 5,191 you were able to give Mr. Taft in 1012 is sufficient to relegate you to innocuous desuetude. Georgia Republicans are honest and fearless enough to weigh your fitness for re-election by the capacity you have, or may show for helping to harmonize what you choose to term the "partisans," "factions," and "elements" in our party. In conclusion let me say it is not conductive to that "party good and welfare" about which you seem so anxious, for you—the mouthpiece of the only discordant element, (discordant out of all proportion to its strength in the party—to attempt to give erroneous ideas of your importance, and thereby try to influence Georgia Republicans. A spirit of harmony prevailthrought the National Party. All elements and former factions are cordially invited to participate in partaction for the common good, yet if your labored issue "to Republicans of Georgia," the seeds of discord are only too apparent, especially to those who, thru misapprehension, have been in the past led to labor with you. PAGE TWO Odds and Ends After The Mode Odds and Ends After The Mode A Word on Hats and Hat Trimmings For Spring OSTRICH BANDING ON FROCKS NewYork, Feb. 2—The "Dress-up" notion seems to have taken a strong hold on us, one and all. Our shop windows present wonderful changes each day, and our avenue has become a veritable kaleidoscope of attractive gowned and hatted women. Perhaps it is the opening of the new season with its suggestion of coming spring, although the frost and snap of cold winter still lingers, which causes us to look with more appreciative eyes than usual on the new offerings in frocks, © MCCALL Drop-Shoulder Froek—Band-Trimmed Skirt Drop-Shoulder Frock—Band-Trimmed Skirt suits and hats. But, leaving aside these flattering elements, there is really more of beauty and smartness in this season's styles than we have had for many years. Ostrich Trimming on Frocks Fur is still the smart trimming for all garments, and it promises to remain in favor well into the spring. There is already a hint here and there, however, that designers and manufacturers are tentatively reaching out for an attractive successor. In one of the smart shops the other morning, a most attractive afternoon dress was displayed; it was made in Russian effect, was very simple, and sparingly ornamented, the only trimming, in fact, being bands of ostrich in the same shade of blue as the dress, edging the high, standing collar, the cuffs and the lower edge of the blouse peplum. The effect was pleasing and perfectly appropriate for the warmer weather. Trimmings for Spring Hats Whether ostrich as trimming for hats will be favored to any great degree is still a question; that it will be used considerably, as in the past season or two, for fancies, odd little stick-ups, balls, rosettes, and similar effects, on the chic small hats which are being introduced as first models for spring, has already been confirmed. Many hand-made hats are being shown this season. The new braids are mostly shiny; glace effects will predominate, altho one sees some effective dull-finished hems and tagals. A new glace braid from Paris resembles nothing so much as the scales of a fish, and it is appropriately named "fish-scale" straw. Some flowers will be used on the new hats, and quantities of ribbon. The new color in millinery are, generally speaking, black, nium-pink, absinthe, polish-gold, mintgreen, and baby chick; the last a charmingly suggestive title. Among the attractive millinery notions being displayed in shops, and worn at the southern resorts, are sets consisting of hat, handbag and collarette, and fashioned of faille, or the new soft luster satins. One of the most attractive of these is developed in the new Callot color, a soft shade of pinkish lavender. The hat is very simple, a medium sailor turned up sharply on the left side, having no contrasting trimming; the bag is of the same soft luster satin as the hat, and the collarette, also of silk, is carded about an inch apart, and finished with long ribbon ends for tying. These sets are being made us in many colors and are unusually effective as a finishing touch on an afternoon frock of silk, or one of the sheer cottons. Fashions in Handbaes Now that so much attention is being given to details, and in consequence we are all presenting a better groomed appearance than ever before, the handbag is being shown considerable attention. Once upon a time it was considered for its useful qualities only. now it lends an added touch of color or richness to tailored suits and afternoon frock, and its appropriateness for both must be considered. The volum- © MCCALL inous bag of soft morocco and like soft leather in dark coloring, the black patent leather bag, lined with bright red or cream-colored moire silk, and the envelope purses, also lined with bright silks, are good form with tailored suits. There are some attractive novelty striped leathers also being used with dark tallored suits very effectively. Antique brocades, Japanese embroideries, and dyed laces are fashioned into effective and artistic bags for the afternoon gown. Several of the newest fashion features are illustrated in the afternoon frocks illustrating this latter: the cape collar is one, the drop-shoulder and attractive sleeve is another. The band-trimmed skirt is new and effective, and the full-pointed tunic is smart and becoming. A JOINT MEETING On last Monday night there was a joint meeting held at the headquarters of the Golden Circle, 536 Stewart street, for the deputies, rulers and vice rulers, for the purpose of getting in closer union. Bro. E. T. Black, Hon. deputy general, presided and his instructions were well taken. A large crowd was present and they promised their hearty support for the upbuilding of the order. EXCELLENT DEGREE MEETING On Friday night of last week there was an excellent degree meeting held at the Union Degree Chamber of the S. G. L. G. U. O. Golden Circle at Seabrooks' hall.

Newnan, Ga.-Jan. 13, will linger in the minds of the citizens of our thriving community as one conspicuous among those days that present striking examples of the co-operation of state and capital for the advancement of the man behind and furnish evidence of the growing good will between the races. For upon that day, the Negro Agricultural Car, under the auspices of department of the state of Georgia and the United States, The Georgia State Industrial College and the Central of Georgia Railway, in charge of Mr. Eugene A. Williams, visited Newnan, remaining from 2 p. m. to 6 p. m. Anticipating its arrival a large crowd had gathered at the depot and the train was greeted by strains of patriotic music from the Kelsey Boy's band, which also delighted the crowd intermittently during the programme which followed, adding much to the dignity of the occasion. After the car had been stationed on the siding, Mr. Williams from the trucks as a platform, made a few introductory remarks and presented Mr. J. H. Blackwell, farm demonstrator of Coweta county, who spoke a few words indicative of the importance of the occasion, and introduced Col. M. Garland Jones, speaker of the day for the white citizens. Col. Jones made a very friendly, timely and enlightening speech. He emphasized the importance of cotton as a money crop, the greatest in the south, and urged that we plant cotton for the object of getting money, but not for purchasing such things as could be raised on the farm. Variety of crops with a special view to food stuffs, and the production of the greatest amount of home-made manures received emphatic encouragement from the speaker. His remarks were heartily received. Mr. Williams next introduced Prof. Clifford B. Hall of Clark University, Atlanta, who had come to Newnan at his own expense to tell the people of the importance of birds on the farm The thoughts advanced by Prof Hall on the beauty of birds, the music of birds, birds as insect killers, and how to attract birds to the home were both practical and interesting. ing in an age when such a thing as an agricultural car, equipped by the state and national governments for the benefit of the Negro farmer, and transferred from one end of the state to the other by the Central of Georgia Railway, is a possibility, declaring: "The fact itself is ephocal". He was roundly applauded when he exclaimed: "The Negro is a working man. Seven tenths of the race live in the country; and country people work. When the Negro decides to loaf he comes to town." He referred to the fact that the Negro is a tenant farmer and largely under the direction of others as to the variety of production, still he feels that the Negro could become a more in intensive farmer, making more per acre on the land he does tend. He suggested the organization of Colt Clubs, and closed by urging the race not to farm simply for the sake of employment, but farm that he might secure those things that will enable him to live in comfort and buy homes and lay up something for a rainy day. The programme closed with a brainy, witty and practical speech from Mr. Williams in which he stressed the corn club and canning club ideas and urged the organization of each. He discussed the science of manures and told the farmers how to appropriate the nitrogen of the air and utilize the potash and other chemicals, in the earth. He gave an open air exhibition of articles form the garden and farm canned in connection with his regular work in the counties in which he labors as demonstrator. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in inspecting the car so well equipped with rare specimens of all sorts of things grown on a Georgia farm, so skillfully arranged as to present an object of beauty and inspire the farmers with new resolutions for larger endeavors than ever before. It is hoped that there will be an annual repetition of this great object lesson and eye-opener to the Georgia Negro farmer. And no better man than Mr. Eugene A. Williams could be put in charge of it. As the car remained in Newnan for the night the Ladles Home Club entertained in honor of Mr. Williams at the beautiful residence of Mrs. M. E. Jordan. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS Compiled by the National Negro Business League A thought for the week.—Let us emphasize the fact, and keep on emphasizing it, that we must encourage trade and business development among ourselves; that we must cease more and more to be a wage-earning class; that we must buy and sell more among ourselves, so that we can have the profit that is to be made and thus make good openings for our sons and daughters to be tradesmen in their turn.—The Philadelphia Tribune With the appointment of Mr. Charles Redmon, Knoxville, Tenn., now has 4 colored policemen.

Saturday February 5th, 1916 The two weeks religious campaign which the Negro Baptists waged here recently and which came to a close week before last, resulted in much good throut the city and the bringing of over seven hundred persons to the straight and narrow path. The great efforts which they put forth were indeed richly rewarded and must be recognized as among the most beneficial ever attempted here. It required no little work to reach that great mass of people who attended their many meetings throut the city, and still more earnest pleading to "win over" those seven hundred odd persons who heeded their call and decided that, after all, the only life, worth while is that which leads to a straight, upright life. It is true that many of those "brought around" will slip and slide from the straight path and it is not expected that all will stick for they never do, but even the small percentage who will stick will more than be a just recompense for the herculean efforts put forth by our Baptist brethren and a blessing to our city. It is indeed pleasing to note the attitude which most of the white papers of the state are taking against lynching. Almost without exception they are condemning in no uncertain manner the unprecedented outbreak of mob violence which has recently placed Georgia in the lime light and which has caused the majesty of the law in the Empire State of the South to resound with mockery and shame The continual hammering away of these papers against mob law will undoubtedly result in at least a partial lessening of this wave of crime which has within the past six months so wantonly snatched away the lives of a score or more persons and caused the law abiding citizens of the state to wonder how far this reign of horror will go and where it will break out next. The newspapers are indeed waging a worthy fight for law and order and it is up to the state, county and municipal authorities to join in with them in stamping out this evil which has brought the state so much harmful notoriously. The campaign for funds for erecting a home for aged Negroes in East Savannah, which will be launched soon, should meet with a spontaneous response from the Negroes of the city. That a home such as those behind this movement hope to establish, is not already established speaks very badly for us and tells in no uncertain manner of our negligence along this line. Savannah has long been very charitable to our poor in allowing them to beg on the streets, but this will not ever be so and sooner or later a ban will be put on this sort of charity by the city authorities and then these poor, unfortunate ones among us will be driven from pillow to post in staircase of sustenance. To start now the movement for funds for the proposed Margaret Hall Home will doubtless save the situation. A successful campaign will provide a needed place of shelter to which those among us who are old and have no one to care for them in their declining days may enter. It is incumbent upon us as a people that we co-operate whole-heartedly with the committee of white and colored gentlemen who will direct the campaign for funds with which to build this home. The land upon which it is proposed this home shall be erected stands paid for, only waiting for the necessary funds to build the home, which will house the many among us who are without friends to whom they can go for shelter. The land for this home is situated in East Savannah and is an admirable location for such an institution as that for which it was purchased several years ago by the Old Folks and Orphan's Home Association. The charitable white citizens of Savannah have signified their desire to help us raise the money to erect a building on the seven lots in East Savannah to which our unfortunate poor might go, when, during their declining days, they can find no place of shelter. It is for us to do our share in raising the funds necessary for the erection of this home and it is the opinion of The Tribune that we will not shirk our duty along this line but will contribute liberally and unstintingly to this very deserving cause. jurisdiction, and that because certain men 'higher' up had something personal to gain, they had been fouly dealt with by a court of which one of them had one been a member with out a warrant of law." I had the pleasure of attending the January meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management. I attended every session from the opening day until the closing. I heard all of the witnesses testify for the plaintiffs and defense and kept up with the evidence as produced by both sides and the arguments of counsel. Grand Master Morris, who presided with his stately dignity, was perfectly fair in all his rulings to both sides and never once showed an intimation or otherwise one bias act to any of the contending parties. Witnesses for the deposed Georgia Executive Committee solemnly swore "that the late D. G. L. was carried out strictly according to the general laws of the Order, that the cards used by the delegates and others were for identification only, and that members of the D. G. L. could gain admission at any of the sessions with the pass word" (they did not say what pass word 'was used) whether they had a card or not, which was the most absurd and untruthful statement ever made by man or woman on such occasion. Subsequent events have shown beyond a shadow of doubt that the S. C. of M. took no special, notice of charges brought against certain members of the Order, or the so-called "rump convention", the accused being adjudged guilty of contempt for failing to abide by several decisions of the S. C. of M., rendered last July relative to the merger of the Household with the D. G. L., continuing the so-called industrial farm and making other investments foreign to the purpose by which our former jurl-diction had been chartered. Any man who has kept up with Odd Fellow affairs in Georgia in the last dozen years, fully knows that a reign of terror and fear has existed here almost incessantly. Charges against members of the order have been filed with former S. C. of M. for practically nothing, and many of the members have died broken hearted because they were wrongly dealt with, and for these and various other reasons, it is a God-send to those remaining members that the present S. C. of M. stepped in and called a halt on the men who are wreaking their unholy vengeance upon innocent brothers. Quoting from an unsigned article on the editorial page of the Atlanta Independent of January 20th, we take the following excerpt: "The disposal of these men was necessary for the personal ends of ambitious individuals." But why did these men who are now crying "persecution think of the ruthless manner in which they, to satisfy their personal ambition, put out such honorable men as Dr. L. N. Parks, Mc Brinson, Lucius Williams, Tom Kelley, Ike Humphries and A. Graves? Were not these men thrown out because they had contended for their rights with some of the men who have lately been deposed, and can now only see that a wrong has been done because they have been suspended from the order? If the S. C. of M. that put the other men out had the authority, who took it away from this one? Had not the present 'C. S. of M. the same power that the former one had, and has it not two members that served when Graves et al. were put out when at least one of the men that is now suspended was a member of the S. C. of M.? It is a poor rule that won't work both ways, and since the tide has turned in favor of the oppressed, a calamity (?) will over take the other members of the order in Georgia, now that the infallibles (?) must go. And it is a queer thing to me that, at this late day when the shoe is fitting the other fellow's foot, that the S. C. of M. has been suddenly stripped of its power, that it exceeded its authority in deposing some fellows that have repeatedly insisted on violating the law, but "whatsoever a men soweth, that shall he also reap", and the deposed executive committee of Georgia was justly amenable to the law as the most humble member and they have reaped what they have sown and should be men enough to know that we are greater than they are and will see that they turn over that which belongs to us. Reading further in this article, we find the following: The order suspending Ingram and Davis is void and is without effect, the charges were frivolous and rudeful, the order revok- ing the Georgia charter is void for the reason the committee has no jurisdiction etc. The corporation as it existed went furtiier than the law granting it contemplated, the amendments had not been granted or sanctioned by the S. C. of M., the D. G. L. had secured thru its agents powers greater than those held by the parent corporation. No subsidiary corporation can have powers granted greater than those held by the authority granting, but this is what they who held sway over our affairs have done, and because of this usurpation of authority, the S. C. of M. acted within its rights when, with one stroke of the pen, it abrogated the charter, of D. G. L. No 18, emancipated the Odd Fellows of Georgia and left it up to them to take charge of their local affairs; get them straight and apply to it again for the charter in keeping with the laws of the order. It is denied by the suspended that the S. C. of M. had the authority to revoke the charter, to suspend them from the order, or otherwise interfere in Georgia affairs relative to the charter or endowment, but let us see whether or not the S. C. of M. had the right to do the things the suspended disputes. (1) Did not the accused, in response to a summons, answer certain charges in writing? (2) Did not the accused appear before the S. C. of M. with conselist to defend their actions? Answering the above, is it not a fact that the entire deposed executive committee appeared with a trunk full of printed affidavits in an effort to show they were not guilty as charged of contempt? They did go and the answering of these charges in writing and in person is proof positive that the S. C. of M. is supreme. They are claiming that the endowment is greater than the S. C. of M. and the brotherhood is hereby warned not to be led astray by any of this idle talk, the endowment will never be run in Georgia under the guise of being separate and distinct, and the brethren should stand firm and ever hold up the banner of Friendship, Love and Truth; continuing to emulate the example of Ogden, and let it be understood in no uncertain terms, that no man can operate endowment in Georgia unless he carries the fraternal feature of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. The S. C. of M. has acted within its rights; its authority as well as duty in suspending two former members of the order—It was right when it revoked the charter of D. G. L. No. 18; it has the authority to fine, suspend or expell any member of the order or any branch of the order for refusing to obey any of its orders or mandates and decisions and the brotherhood of Georgia should not be aarmed of its actions as it was done to put down a state anarchy and peonage which has existed in Georgia for more than ten years. In conclusion I want to state to the Odd Fellows of Georgia that their money and assets will not be dissipated; they will not lose one cent and in a very short while the suspended members will be shown the error of their way; they will be glad to step down and out and turn over your affairs to the ones chosen by you with the authority of the S., C. of M. and then peace will triumphantly reign in Georgia and we will be able to proclaim the great name of Odd Fellowship as we did in the time of the institution of the D. G. L in Georgia. R. E. PHARROW Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 1, 1916. IRA FREDERICK ALDRIDGE DRA MATIC CLUB CÉLEDRATES ANNIVERSARY On Thursday night the Ira Federick Aldridge Dramatic Club celebrated its second anniversary at the home of Miss S. C.

They were entertained at luncheon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard, Whitas last Friday night at 912 Amherst street. The bazaar given under the auspices of the ladies auxiliary of St. Paul A. M. E. Church was quite a success, adding much to the trustees' rally on last Sunday. The report will reach the 8125.00 needed by the trustees. The Ministerial Union met last Wednesday at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Among the visitors present was Rev. James Jackson, the presiding elder of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. L. G. Harris presented a valuable paper before the Union "The price of power." While a goodly number of the brethren in the state think that the Old Fellows of Georgia are in a better condition by the decision of the Sub-Committee of Management, Brunswick Old Fellows see the matter differently, especially since the restraining order has been issued by the court. Seldon's Institute, managed by Prof. H. A. Bleach and his corps of teachers, is meeting with much success during this scholastic year. The enrollment is larger and all classes are making marked time. Entertainments are being given and much success is discerned. All are invited to attend these entertainments.

D. Powell who was sent to represent them at the recent session of the. S. C. M.. at Philadelphia, and to discuss the pending situation of the order in Georgia. The meeting was presided over by C. W. Alexander and there were upwards of two hundred persons present. R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of this city were the principal speakers on the subject. Among the business transacted was the election of J. D. Powell, C. M. Brin-on and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels as representatives to oppose the permanent appointment of B. S. Ingram, J. M. Pitts, B. J. Davis, J. C. Stiles and Wm. Decker Johnson as receivers of the affairs of the order, a position which they are now temporarily filling. The case comes up for hearing to-day in Atlanta, Ga.

Parker, secretary. RESOLUTIONS In memory of our beloved sister, FANNY E. BLUNT, Who departed this life December 17th, 1915.

News of Isaac and Jack Davis Anxiously Awaited by Mother in Rocky Mount, N. C. The following was sent us with the request for publication. Anyone knowing the parties named will please communicate with the post-master at Montgomery, Ga. We have an old colored woman in Rocky Mount, N. C., that is almost a hundred years old, and she is almost helpless, and very much in need at this time. She tells me that she has two sons near Savannah, Ga., that if she could get in communication with, that she feels sure that she could get some relief. The name of her two sons are Jack Davis and Isaac Davis (colored). Jack is about fifty-five years old at this time. Isaac is younger, and is about forty-five. Jack was married before he left this part of the country; his wife was named Furby, her malden name being Furby Stephens. Four of her brother are down there also, their names are Sam, Jim, Alfred and Nathan Stephens. The Davis Negroes and the Stephens Negroes are old turpentine men, and the last time heard from, they were near Savannah. Ga., and their mother feels sure that they are there yet. She wrote to them at Savannah, but the letter was returned unclaimed. In the name of this old helpless colored mother I ask that you use the enclosed self addressed postal card, to let me know for her, if you do, or do not know either or both the Davis Negroes^{mentioned above}. If you can place me in communication with them, I will press them the best I can for help and when they know their mother's condition, I just know that something will be done by them. The old Negro woman has no money to pay you for your trouble, neither would you take any compensation for your trouble, if you knew the circumstances that surrounds her. I shall hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience, and am The leap year social given by the L. A. S. of Asbury Church at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Smith, 547 east Park avenue, was a decide success. The tickets were sold at 25 cents each and a leap year supper was served. It is requested that this affair be repeated. The following ladies worked earnestly and cheerfully to make it a success: Mrs. M. E. Gordon, Mrs. Meattle Smith, Mrs. A. G. Bogan, Mrs. Laura Taylor, Mrs. L. Winkler, Mrs. Drusilla Davis, Mrs. Jennie Johnson, Mrs. Gordon sold the greatest number of tickets, Mrs. A. E. Parks next.

TUCKER INSPELLOR AT LAW D STREET SPECIALTY The Truth that Makes Men Free Some day when the cloud of prejudice has been dispelled by the searchlight of truth, the world will honor Masonry for its heroic service to freedom of thought and the liberty of faith. No part of its ministry has been more noble, no principle of its teaching has been more precious than its age-long and unwavering demand for the right and duty of every soul to seek that light by which no man was ever injured, and that truth which makes man free. Down thru the ages—often when the highest crime was not murder, but thinking, and when human conscience was dragged as a slave at the wheel of the ecclesiastical charlot—always and everywhere Masonry has stood for the right of the soul to know the truth, and to look up unbidden from the lap of earth into the face of Him in whose great hand it stands. Not freedom from faith, but freedom of faith, has been its watchword, on the ground that as despotism is the mother of anarchy, so bigoted dogmatism is the prolific source of skepticism—Selected. --- The proverbal deliberateness of our English brethren is illustrated in the plan for financing the new Masonic hall in London. The sum of $250,000 is required. It is proposed to raise it by annual contributions of six-pence each from members of all the lodges. It is estimated that it will take twenty years to accumulate the necessary sum. In the meantime the brethren will have ample opportunity to think over the architect's plans and decide on what they most desire. He is the true Mason only who day by day and hour by hour practices what he has been taught in Freemasonry. Not that the Mason cannot commit errors, but the true Mason will constantly be on his guard against wrong doing. He will repent and reform, and as far as possible, will undo the evil and repair the wrongs which he has committed, and by the experiences gained—something better—will will avoid them in the future.—Masonic Chronicler. Many of the crafts justly pride themselves on the ancient and honorable character of Freemasonry. Some of them vainly try to solve the problem whence this great institution came and by whom it was organized. It is an evolution of all the ages, for in it we find conserved the great and immortal truths which have blessed men in all the past. We behold the light of the sun and realize its blessed effects, but we must do our part in the work of culture, or not fully enjoy them. So it is with Freemasonry. Its light must be a part of our life. Its great principles must be cultivated in our minds and souls and appear in our conduct, or we will fail to fully enjoy our Masonic rights and privileges and to properly perform our Masonic duties. The great work is laid on us of skillfully employing the great principles of Masonry in masterbuilding for eternity, and that is our great concern. Not the past, but the present and the future is ours to guard and improve, and for that purpose we must utilize every moment of our time. A Mission for Masons Freemasonry is the pioneer of civilization. It has a creed broad enough to embrace all that is good in all religions. It makes citizens better ones under any form of government. It breaks down the barriers of birth, race creed and tends to make all nations one great common nation. Who would not perfer to be a member of an organization that had its branches and alliances in all lands, embracing good men of every nationality, rather than the higher and exclusive casts, with narrowing creed of self-conceit, self-righteousness, and self-sufficiency! What Freemasonry wants is a field of operation as broad as its principles, a career of aggressive charity, harmonizing the warring elements of society, substituting the arbitration of reason for that of the sword and when wars come, as they will, softening the asperities and animosities, and staunching the wounds and relieving the suffering they entail. There is a mission and a work for our noble institution at all times and all over the world. There is work enough, too, for all we can enlist and for all the allies we can gain. Our creed and professions are good. What is needed is that our career should correspond with our creed our practice with our professions.—Ward Freemasonry forms an endless chain that extends round the world, and beyond this world to the next. "Don't break the chain" that blinds you to the brotherhood.—Masonic Standard. Masonic Epigrams A bad man can no more be made a good man by Freemasonry than putt- If you borrow money, you not only pay interest, but your creditor is interested in you. If you are a true Mason you not only love your brethren but your brethren love you, if they be good men and true. It is more satisfactory to achieve honor in a lodge than to have it thrust upon you. A "worthy Mason" only deserves the title when he acts on the square outside the lodge as well as inside.—Queensland Freemason. In Scotland the parent of a Master Mason may become a beneficiary of Masonic assistance as well as the wife, widow, mother, sister or daughter of a Master Mason. CARE OF THE BABY, WEIGHT AND WEIGHTING THE BABY Prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor The baby's weight is perhaps the best index the mother has of his condition. The average weights of babies of given ages are now pretty well established, and a weight noticeably lower than the average indicates a lack of development due either to deficient diet, or to illness, while an excess of fat may point to improper feeding. If the baby's weight either remains stationary for any considerable time or begins to fall off it is always a sign that something is wrong; and that the mother should seek the help of a good doctor, without delay. The average girl weighs seven pounds at birth, while boys average half a pound heavier. During the first four days the baby must lose from one to two ounces to a pound, while waiting for the mother's milk to be established, but as soon as he begins to nurse regularly he should quickly regain this loss. During the first month he should gain about three-quarters of an ounce each day; then up to the sixth month, from four to eight ounces a week, and from the sixth to the twelfth month two to four ounces a week. At three months the average baby weighs from twelve to fourteen pounds; at six months, fifteen to sixteen pounds; at nine months, seventeen to eighteen pounds; and at one year, twenty-to twenty-two pounds. The baby thus doubles his weight at five or six months, and at the end of his first year weighs three times as much as at birth. Most babies do not gain quite steadily, week by week. During short periods, owing to excessive heat, when the food is reduced, a baby may show no gain, and may even fall off a little. This condition should be temporary and he ought to begin to gain as soon as the disturbance subsides. Bottle-fed infants do not gain as rapidly during the first months as do breast-fed babies, but after the ninth month they are apt to gain steadily as they do not lose weight as breast-fed babies do at the time of weaning. A very fat baby is not to be desired. Altho mothers are prone to believe that a fat baby is a healthy one, this is not necessarily true. An exclusive diet of certain of the proprietary infant foods, consisting largely of sugar or starch, is very apt to produce excessive fat, and give a false impression of abounding health. Overfat babies are very uncomfortable in the summer from prickly heat and other tills. A healthy baby has a well-rounded body, without wads, and cushions of fat, or pendulous cheeks and pudgy legs. He has springy muscles, and is alert, active and full of life and motion. In order that the mother may be informed as to the baby's progress, he should be welghed at regular intervals throut at least the first year. For the first week or longer he should be welghed every day; during the first six months, once a week; and later once in two weeks. Breast-fed babies may be welged just before and just after nursing to determine how much milk they are getting, and to find out wheather or not they need supplementary feeding. They should be welged in exactly the same clothing both times, and to determine the daily gain, at the same hour each day. The best scales are ordinary platform balance scales as are used in grocery stores. A special basket or pan which fits on the platform, and which will hold the baby comfortably. Spring, scales are less accurate but are cheaper, and are better than no scales at all. Most country households have enough general use for a good scale, so that such a purchase would not be an extravagance. Many city mothers have the advantage of being able to go to an infant welfare station where the baby may be weighed as often as desirable. In these cases it is easy to keep a careful record of the baby's growth. The Children's Bureau has publisher a bulletin called the Infant's Care which contains directions for weighing the baby and also a chart for recording the weight. This publication is sent free to all who ask for it, addressing the Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. INSURANCE MEN'S FEDERATION Newnan, Ga.,—An organization which is attracting more attention among the citizens of Newnan to-day than any other enterprise among Negro business men was organized by L. L. Scruggs, superintendent of the local branch of the Pilgrim Life and Health Insurance Company. Mr. Scruggs, coming here the early part of 1915 to take up the work for his company, found five negro and four white companies doing industrial insurance among our people. There were misunderstandings and antagonism among the Negro companies and white companies, there were the usual competition and misrepresentation to the disadvantage of the Negro. Hellering that something should be done to check the too frequent and often too intimate contact of the white agent with Negro domestic life, to save Negro insurance to Negro companies, and to develop a friendlier feeling and more charitable attitude among the agents of the Negro companies themselves, Mrs. Scruggs called a meeting of all the agents of all the Negro companies to discuss these and other questions vital to their interests. The leading ministers also were to address this gathering. At this meeting all the Negro companies, the Pilgrim Life and Health, Atlanta Mutual, Georgia Mutual, North Carolina Mutual and the Garranty Mutual were represented, Rev. E. G. Thomas, pastor of Mr. Vernon Baptist Church, was present. The meeting was remarkable for its harmony, fraternity and cordiality. Rev. Thomas urged that all the companies were operated upon practically the same basis and had practically the same to offer; to knock any particular company is virtually knocking Negro insurance in general, and to boost any one company is to crystallize confidence in Negro insurance in general. He also stressed the insurance agents' great opportunity to preach race unity and race co-operation; and by their upright, straight-forward dealing, they have a boundless opportunity to inspire confidence in the growing business integrity of the race. To perpetuate these friendly relations and foster these principals, it was decided to form a permanent organization, which was done by, electing X. L. Scruggs, president; N. S. Henry; vice-president; D. D. Moody, treasurer; C. C. Cook, secretary; and Rev. F. G. Thomas, official lecturer. Rev. Thomas named the organization "The Insurance Men's Federation" which was enthusiastically accepted. The federation meets once every two weeks in the parlor of the Pilgrim and Guaranty Mutual, No 8 East Broad street. The discussions, embracing all kinds of subjects, not only concerning insurance which is its first consideration, but all phases of Negro life and progress, are usually very instructive and highly inspirational. It is the purpose of the federation to hold, periodically at strategic points, public meetings to serve as business awakenings to inspire race confidence and unity, and solidarity in the development and maintenance of Negro enterprises. Two meetings have already been held, one in Greenville at the First Baptist Church, October, 1915, when to a large audience, Rev. Protho and Dr. O. W. Devaughn of that city and Mr. I. L. Seruggs, Mr. D. D. Moody, Dr. H. F. Thompson, and Rev. F. C. Thomas of Newnan made talks. Rev Thomas delivered the principal address A chorus from Newnan and excellent talent of Greenville furnished charming music. The meeting created a profound impression. The second public meeting occurred in Newnan at Newnan Chapel M. E. Church, December 2d and 3rd. These gatherings were addressed by Mr. Wheeler of the North Carolina Mutual, Mr. T. W. H. Philipot, Atlanta, Mr. Theo Pollard, LaGrange, Messrs E. W. Sherman, W. S. Scott and Col. F. B. Pettie of Savannah, and Messrs I., L. Scruggs and D. D. Moody and Revs. W. C. Adams and E. G. Thomas of Newnan. With this array of speakers it is needless to say that oratory flowed like a stream of living water, greatly edifying the people. Music of unusual excellence from the Kelsey Boy's band and choruses from Newnan Chapel and Mt. Vernon delighted the audiences. Other meetings are projected for LaGrange and Carrollton in the near future. THE SAVANNAN TRIBUTE SUNDAY SCHOOL THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts iv, 8-21. Memory Verses, 12, 13—Golden Text, I Cor. xvi, 13—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The high priest and his kindred, with the rulers and elders and scribes, being gathered together at Jerusalem, Peter and John, being brought from prison, were placed before them and asked, "By what power or by what name have ye done this?" (verses 5-7.) Here was provided a great opportunity to testify again to the risen Christ, and the witnesses were all ready. Whether they had much or little sleep in the prison that night we may not know, but we may be quitter sure, that they had communion with Him for whom they were still on earth. And now Peter, being specially filled with the Spirit, is again the messenger of the risen Christ. The Lord Jesus had told them while He was still with them that when they should.be brought before rulers for His sake it would be given them by the Spirit what to say (Math. x, 18-20), and this was one of many fulfillments of that assurance. See with what boldness Peter tells this gathering: earth's great ones that Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom-they crucified, God had raised from the dead and that He, the risen living Christ had made the lame man whole (verse 10). This was the same doctrine they had been put in prison for the previous, evening, but for this they stood fervently and could not say otherwise. The reference to the rejected stone takes us back to Ps. xvill, 22: Isa. xxvill, 16, and to our Lord's reference to it in Matt. xx, 42. But the stone takes us farther back to Gen. xlix. 24, and enward to the kingdom (Dan. 11, 34, 35, 45). We cannot but think of I Pet. 11, 4-8, where he makes such full reference to the stone and the stones. With what utter disregard of their earthly greatness he sailed to them, "You builders can never be saved except by that stone which you despise!" (Verses 11, 12.) How could they help marveling at their boldness? But was it not a little strange that they should attribute it to Jesus, who had been crucified? (verse 13). Beholding the healed man and knowing that Peter and John had no power to do this, they must have been in a measure convinced that there was some truth in their testimony concerning the risen Christ. But it must not be spread farther, and the name of Jesus must not be mentioned (verses 14-18). Filled with the Spirit, they had no fear of what man might do to them (Ps. xxvll, 1), their only standard was what was right in the sight of God, and what they had seen and heard they could not help telling even if they died for it (verses 19, 20). The messenger of God must never consider the faces of people nor whether his message is acceptable to them or not. But his motto must be: "Not pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts," remembering that if we live to please men we are not servants of Christ (Jer. 1, 8, 17; Ezek. 5: 6; 11: 2; I Thess. 1, 4; Gal. 1, 10). With threatenings from these men of power and importance from a human standpoint, they were set free and went to the company of believers, who had no doubt been praying for them, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said. With one accord the believers turned to God and told Him all, but did not ask to be delivered from further persecution, rather that they might speak the truth boldly regardless of consequences, and that beailings and signs and wonders might be wrought in the name of Jesus Christ. There are men in prominent pulpits today who seem not to know what the Scriptures teach concerning this present age and the coming and kingdom of our Lord. There are others who, if they know these things, do not seem ready to tell them for fear they might give offense to some important (7) people, and there are still others who once did seem to know, but now for some reason are no longer valiant for the truth. Note how these believers relied upon the living God, believed His word, quoted from Ps. ii and xxxii, and, like Jeremiah, considered nothing too hard for Him who created heaven, and earth (Jer. xxxii, 17). The words of Ps. ii, which have had many a fulfillment and a notable one in the days of Herod and Pilate, will have their last and complete fulfillment in the days before us, when under the anti-Christ the kings of the earth and their armies shall make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb shall overcome and the two great leaders shall be sent alive to the lake of fire (Rev. xvii 12-14; xix, 10, 20). Every true child of God should rejoice to be on the winning side, and, though the present conflict may be severe and the enemy be permitted for a time to have, seeming victory, let us continue to shout "The Lamb shall overcome!" See in verse 31 how heaven heard and answered their cry; the place was shaken; they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spake the word of God with boldness. If we were at whole heartedly for God as they were we would know more of His power. In verse 33 we learn that their one topic was the great fact of a risen living Christ, the same Jesus whose eye are ever looking to find His faithful followers (II Chron. xvI, 9).

This was a fine and helpful sermon. The sunrise prayer service is getting to be more and more interesting. The meeting was very inspiring Sunday. The B. X. P. U. and the Sunday school have both taken on new life. You miss a great deal by not attending these. We have lots of good things in connection with these organizations to bring before the public soon. Baptism again tomorrow. Communion at night. It is hoped that the church will be taxed to its seating capacity at this service. EVANGELICAL MINISTERS' UNION The Evangelical Ministers' Union met in its usual meeting. By the request of the president, Rev. J. A. Martin, Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., conducted devotional service.

UNION MEETING On Sunday the A. C. E. League Union of the Blackshear district held a meeting at St. Thomas A. M. E. Church. The large audience was very much enthusiastic over the condition of the programme. The opening remarks were made by the president, followed by a very timely address by Mr. A. B. Phillips of Taylor Chapel A. M. E. Church, on the subject "Preparedness, or a preparation for a new life." Mrs. Mary Thomas of St. Thomas church followed with a paper "Our conduct in church, Sunday school and Christian Leagues." Next came a paper "Faith", by Miss Dartha Phillips; a duet by Miss Luella Davis and Ollie Thomas, of St. Thomas Church; solos by Miss Wilhelmina Thomas and Mrs. Martha Reid. The recitations by little Misses Margurite and Alberta Catchings were excellent, after which the Johnson boys' quartette rendered a selection. Remarks by the new pastor of St. Thomas Church followed. The presidents of the local leagues are planning a big time for the second Sunday in this month, which is Allen's day. The next meeting of the leagues will be at Taylor's Chapel. Woodville, on the third Sunday in this month. The principal speaker of this meeting will be Mr. J. H. Stokes on the subject "I am not ashame." Friends of the leagues are earnestly requested to be out. The collection at the last meeting was $1.50. MISSIONARY MEETING The executive board of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society held their first quarterly meeting Friday January 21st, at St. James A. M. E. Church, Mrs. E. L. Davis of Jesup, Ga. presiding. The morning session was opened with devotional service which was one of the special features of the meeting. At the afternoon session Rev. A. L. Sampson, pastor of St. James, addressed the ladies encouragingly on mission work which was enjoyed by all, after which the conference officers and directors made their report. They all made splendid reports. The president read her annual letter, which was received with a standing vote of thanks, for the many helpful suggestions to those in the mission field. At 8:30 o'clock the missionary sermon was preached by Rev. C. C. Cargile, after which a special programme was rendered, every church being represented by a number on the programme. Special music was rendered by St. Philip Monumental, St. James and St. Philip choirs. The ladies were graced with the presence of Revs. A.L.Sampson, H. H. Williamson R. H. Singleton, and C. C. Cargile. They all made very encouraging remarks. The closing hymn was sung and the meeting adjourned to meet in April 1916 at Wavercross, Ga. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Savannah, Ga., Jan. 18, 1916 Resolutions passed in Colored Ministers' Union and in mass meeting at St. Philip Church asking council to prevent the coming of "The Birth of a Nation." "The Birth of a Nation" should be prohibited for many reasons: First, the play shows a colored man pursuing a white girl for vile purposes, and she dashes to death to prevent a horrible crime; a scene within itself calculated to cause every white man to hate every young Negro man, and to suspected with much dread the young Negro in his daily employment. If the scene is true to life in actual occurrence it is by no means typical of a race, but it represents only that rare exception as a criminal who happens to have been black. In the number of lynchings for crime and supposed crime for the past year, it is shown that less than ten per cent is caused by even the accusation of such crime, as shown in this scene which aims at the climax in the play. These are the statistics which are well known and established by those who have made a careful study of the record for lynching. We urge that the progressive white man will not allow the racial element to be commercialized to the point of creating race hate between a growing generation of white boys and black boys. It is to be remembered that the most frequent visitors of the theatres are the young of both races, and at an age when they are most susceptible to bad suggestions. As an illustration to point out the degradation we refer our friends to the privation of hangings as our state records. There was a time when men were hanged publicly but the moral sentiment has grown to the point that men no longer think it helps society to gaze upon the hanging of one who represents a small element of humanity, in committing a hanging crime. This the hangings are made private for the good of society and not to condone the criminal. In this the law is enforced with as much zeal and with more effective decision. If any man as a criminal commits this horrible crime the Negro feels, that as a criminal, he should be severely punished, and not have the entire race suffer the stigma as established as a race trait thru scenic production or otherwise. Further, upon this point, we find that the wisdom of the southern and northern cities almost unanimously agreed upon the prompt suppression of the Jack Johnson and Jeffries fight for the good of society. The same was true of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Second: the reconstruction scene pictures the Negro as stupid and incapable of progress, while making him responsible for the abnormal condition economically, politically and otherwise following the war. This scene does by no means represent the truth of affairs. The conditions in all countries are abnormal following the wars and unheavens. The wonder is how well the southern white man and Negro got along as ex-master and ex-slave, opposite in racial type, almost equal in numbers and freed largely as a war measure so far as the heart of the nation is concerned. Then can our white people, proud and cultured in feeling, patriotic in ideals, give their consent to allow a vulgar play to be presented in Savannah, or the south, as being the truth in making a defenseless people responsible for the abnormal conditions in the south, which existed in the early sixties, coming as a result of almost one hundred years contention between two strong sections of the country, which contention viewed economically was the tariff while the Negro question only comes in an occasion for strife? It must be remembered that the motive of the play writer, is to be seriously considered. D.presely when it is known that Mr. Dixon is indeed hostile and by no means in sympathy with the ten million colored people in this country. This being true, his play in scene production and general character must necessarily reflect this feeling of his, and are thereby capable of importing not only uncalled for racial antipathy and hate but destruction to the ideals of the whites while literally destroying the blacks. The recent scenes in Early county and Montecello. Ga.. are only signs of worse things to be, when young minds are fed on such suggestive pictures. We ask therefore, that the council prevent its being shown. J. A. MARTIN. President Minkers' Union Wm. DANIELS, Sec'y SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VII.—First Quarter, For Feb.13,1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Phil. ii, 1-11—Memory Verses, 5-7—Golden Text, II Cor. viii, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev D. M. Stearna. The topic of this lesson is "Humiliation and Exaltation," and the central person is, as in all the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ, Creator, Redeemer, High Priest and coming King. From the day that Saul saw Him and heard Him on the way to Damascus he had no eyes nor ears nor heart for any one else, as is plainly seen in some of his words in this epistle: "To me to live is Christ." "Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death." "I count all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord," * that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection" (chapter 1, 20, 21; ill, 8, 10). He never ceases to speak of the gospel or the good news concerning Jesus Christ (1, 5, 7, 12, 17, 27; 11, 22; 1v, 3, 15), and he encourages all who believe the gospel by such assurances as that He who begins the work in them will not fall to finish it; that their names are in the Book of Life; that all their need here shall be supplied; that in the resurrection the mortal body shall be changed to an immortal body, like the resurrection body of the Lord Jesus, and that we should ever be looking for His return from heaven (Phil. 1, 6; 1v, 3, 19; ill, 20, 21). As to the present day life we must count suffering a privilege and not be discouraged even by sickness in His service, content under all circumstances and free from any anxiety, fully yielded to Him. That He may work in as both to will and to do of His good pleasure (chapter 1, 29; ill, 25-30; iv, 6, 7, 11; ill, 13). In our lesson verses we are led to consider the comfort that there is for us in Christ by fellowship with Him in the power of the Spirit. In the present conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil the only way is to run with patience, looking unto Jesus, and consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself for us, lest we be weared (Heb. xil, 1-3). If we are in Christ His God and Father is our God and Father, and He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, and though we may have tribulation we need not be troubled (II Cor. 1, 3, 4; John xlv, 27; xvl, 33; xx, 17). As we consider the meek and lowly One, who said "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me," we shall be ashamed of all strife or vainglory, for the servant of the Lord must not strive (Mitt. xl, 29; II Tim. ii, 24; James iii, 14-16). How unseemly was the strife for greatness among the apostles on the last Passover night. Even Baruch, the scribe of Jeremiah, was told that he must not seek great things for himself (Luke xxii, 24; Jer. xlv, 5). Few seem to have attained to that fulness of grace, which enables them to rejoice in the welfare of another church or denomination as well as their own, because they have not seen that to gather from all the world the Church, the body of Christ, is far more important than the welfare of any particular denomination or church or society. If believers had more fully the mind of Christ they would never consider their own reputation or name, but would live only to magnify Him who so emptied Himself for us. He who had such glory with the Father before the world was as we cannot begin to imagine humbled Himself to Bethlehem, and Nazareth, and Gethsemane, and Golgotha, with all that each name suggests, that all who will acknowledge their guilt and receive Him as their Saviour may become children of God and joint heirs with Himself and in due time share His kingdom and glory. To this end God hath raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand, far above all power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and hath put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church which is His body (verses 9-11; Eph. 1, 20 23). It is this body and bride, that other Eve for the last Adam, that is now being gathered from all the world in this age to reign with Him in the next age, when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This will be at the time of chapter III, 21; Acts III, 21; Rev. III, 21, and the fitness for our taking part in it all is seen in Gen. III, 21. He must reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet (I Cor. xv, 25), but He will not begin to reign till He has His Eve, His bride, His body, the Church, to reign with Him. We see not yet all things put under Him, but we see Jesus crowned with glory and honor, waiting for those other sons whom He is bringing to glory and fitting them for it by their present sufferings (Heb. II, 8-11). Only as we by faith see and thus realize something of our heavenly calling and the glory that awaits us shall we be gladly willing to fill any place of lowly service now if only He can be magnified in us and use us to win others to Him and thus complete His body and bring the time of His marriage. The power of His resurrection and our fellowship with Him in it is the spataining power in the fellowship of His sufferings (chapter III, 16). -WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.JULIAN WEST AND 23 JEFFERSON ST FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER AUTOMOBILE SERVICE FREE.

Green trading Stamps Agent A. D. S. and Nyal Family Remedies PAGE SEVEN PAGE EIGHT If the above means anything at all, it means that Mr. Jackson's plan is to rule or destroy. He holds out, to the disgrace of our party, the vile promise of appointments to office in return for political services. That the man who can so boldly open political party scandal can have the support of our national leaders is beyond comprehension or reason, and it is going to be put squarely up to these leaders and unequivocal answers demanded. Not since four years ago have we heard a word from this tireless worker and saviour of the party in the state. Not one line has he sent out in the interest of the party or effort made to have the party put forth men for office: governor and state house offices. No clarion note has he sounded to call the men to action against his democratic colleagues, but his first step after four years sleeping is to disorganize the party and form a regiment of office seekers thru empty promises and empty prospects. The Bully. The Whip The well nigh obliteration of the Republican party in the state by Mr. Jackson was bad enough, but he went further and insulted reputable Republicans who had been elected delegates to the National Convention in 1912, and who held office or whose relatives held office, by forcing them to make offidaya to vote for Mr. Taft, as/ the nominee. One of those delegate to a representative of Collier's said: "I was compelled to sign it (affidavit swearing to vote for Mr. Taft first, last and all the time) or be ruined forever. Jackson, (Henry S. Jackson, state Republican leader, collector of internal revenue) threatened to put my wife out af the post office at Dublin if I did not sign the paper. I have several children and a girl nearly grown. If I hadn't signed the paper I would have been ruined for life." That's the record Mr. Henry S. Jackson is now en- deavoring to have the Republicans of Georgia swallow. Nay more, burdened with such a record the man presumes to attack Colonel Walter H. Johnson, our state chairman, whose party service and fealty for half a century challenge the admiration of every loyal Republican in Georgia; that has crystallized in a wellnigh unanimous demand that he shall continue to serve them as their chairman, to which position they will re-elect him with a majority that will overwhelm and disconcert and undoceive the scheming detractors and set our Grand Old Party in Georgia again on the way to a recovery of its former prestige and unselflessness. In concluding this first installment, I cannot more fittingly expose the man and his methods than by quoting the following incontrovertible facts given in an open letter by Hon. A. J. Spence, of Cave Spring, Ga., under date of January 19th, 1916, addressed to Mr. Henry S. Jackson: "When the republican party submitted to your being forced on them as their national committeeman by outside influences, they had an effective harmonious organization. They had carried for the Republican presidential candidate twenty-eight counties, two congressional districts, and polled 41,202 votes in 1908, whereas, under the discordant, blighting effect of your leadership, and those you tell us you represent, not a district, not a single county went for the Republican candidate in 1912 and only 5,201 votes were cast for him." "Since the election of 1912 you have by your overbearing and dictatorial manner, alienated the repect and good will of practically all of those who were closest to you in party affairs, and right now, you tell of your failure to get any southern delegate to agree with our support you, even after three days' conference with them. You seek to gloss over the failure, in the only essential duty you had to, the prevention of any reduction in the number of defeated until you Henry S. JacksonVENT by holding such contingency halt as alleged assurances of "forceful and energetic Republican senators that they would represent you just as if they were the senators from this state." Where was the "Backing" you were assured of receiving from national committee members and leading Republican senators, (some of whom "told honored Georgia Republicans that they must make terms of peace with you"); that they would leave you "single-handed and alone" in the defense of our just and inherent rights? For twenty years this issue has been raised and fought, but, heretofore, always defeated until you. Henry S. Cackson, were entrusted to its guardianship. "Your impudence in assuming to dictate to the Republicans of Georgia as to when and where their convention should be held; their committal or noncommittal to any particular candidate for state chairman; shows your ignorance of that independent manhood, born, bred and fostered in the breasts of the sons of those men who sacrificed everything but honor 'for the Union and Republican principles. "The keenness' of your desire to eliminate the present chairman is not veiled by your assurance' that he his several times told you that he would not be a candidate for re-election. It is well known that Col. Johnson, were he to consider his personal inclination alone, would not be a candidate for any political preferment. But it is also well-known, and more shame to your lack of discernment, ((or is it duplicity?) that you do not know that the "Grand Old Man" would respond to the call of party duty. "Do not, for one moment, suppose that Georgia Republicans are not aware that your term as National Committee man ends on June 7th, 1916." A. W.
