DR. ARTHUR BUTLER ACHIEVES
MUCH SUCCESS IN EVANSTON’
Sanitarium Filling Great Need in Chi-
cago’s Popular Suburb
citizens of Savannah is Dr. Arthur D.
Butler‘ who is now one of the leading
medical practitioners of Evanston, Ill.
Dr. Butler’s many friends here will be
pleased to learn of his signal ‘success
in the Tlinots #ity and we therefore
publish below the excellept account
of his work which was given in the
North Shore Review, a white weekly
publication edited by women of Evans-
ton and Chicago.
Dr. Butler is a young man of most
excellent quiilities. He Is well quali-
fied for the profession in whichehe fs
meeting with such success, being a
product of the Savannah public schools,
a graduate of the college department
of Atlanta University and Northwest-
ern University and also a graduate of
the medical department of the latter
schopl. He fs ably assisted In his prac-
tice hy his wife, Dr. Isabella Garnett
who Is also a graduate of the medical
department af Northwestern University.
Dr. Butler fs the son of Mrs, Deroach
of West itist street. this city, and the
nephew of Frof. R. W. Gadsden of
the East Isroad Street school.
The folowing is the account of Dr.
Tutler’s work which appeared in the
North Shore Review of February 3rd:
“Durlng the recent epidemic of grip
tse Evanston Sanitarium, 1918 Asbury
avenue, was crowded to its capacity.
Thix hospital which was established
a yesir ago last June, is doing a ploneer
work among the colored people of Evau-
atom, who Slowly are coming to realize
its nervice to their owit race. Founded
by Dr. Arthur Butler and lin wife,
Dr, Isabella Garnett. to receive especial
ly eases among the needy of their own
people which the larger hospitals ¢outl
not take. it’ has established a reputa-
tion for itse{Laven in this brief period
of Its ektotence.
“The hospital, which wis fitted mp
by Dr, and Mrs. Butler fir thelr own
home at an original cost of $22,000
'provikles eleven beds for adults and
four baby beds. A large portion of
the cases stre maternity casey and this
week the four baby cribs are all filled,
-At present it Is not equipped ‘to handle
contagious dixeases, So great ha been
the demand on the hospital that at
times it has heen necessary to place a
bed in the office, There are four nurs-
es in training at present, and a gradu-
ate nurse who fy called In, as during
last week's emergency. It {< the only
institution. arbich recelves colored. ap-
plicants for training in nursing.
“The house is immaculately clean
and cheerful and homelike and quite
uninstitutional In appearance, but the
operation room*has 1 look of scientific
rigor and expertness about it that ex-
plains part of the success of the little
hospital, and the patients, some :tbed
nnd some convalescent, have a look of
Interest and contentment. — 5
“Patient whenever poseible arc re-
quired te pay for services, tho it is
recognized by its directors that a great
field of purely charitable work Hes to
its hand If it had the money to meet
it; even so. It is stil far from self-
supporting, and the section of the com-
munity upon which it may most le-
gitimately call for support is itself
poor. The patients are all wage earn-
cm, whe could not afford private rooms
in other hospitals, and are debarred
from the wards. i.
“The little hospital is indorsed by
a number of Evanstonlans, both Iay-
men and physicians, whose names
stand for achlevement in the commu-
nity. Mrs. 0.1 F. Carpenter, 1748 For-
est street, leader of the Mothers’ Club
rooms, has found it doing valuable
service for the families she has come
to know; a service otherwise quite un-
obtainable, which they would suffer
vitally for want of. It offers.at the
same time a place which physicians of
the colored people may. use for hospital
practice and to which they may: bring
their patients for consultation and

VALUABLE MAN OF UNIVERSITY
BOARD RESIGNS:
After 20 Years Dr. Galloway Resigns
as Trustee of Wilberforce
Twenty years of active service as a
member of the board of trustees of the
Combined Normal and Industrial de
partment of Wilberforce University;
will end April 1, when the resignation
of Dr. W. ,\. Galloway, of Xenia, will
Ro into effect. The resignation which
was presented personally by Dr. Gal-
loway to Governor Willis *Frldny; af-
|ternoon will remove one of the most
[active workers for the interest of the
university und one who has-been iden-
tified with every progressive move-
ment made by the institution in the
past twenty years.
Dr. Galloway was appotated by Gov-
lernor Bushnell as a member of the
board of trustees on April 25, 1896,
He was immediately elected president
of the board and he occupied the chair
during his entire period of service
with the exception of about alx months
when his resignation was témporarily
accepted about three years ‘ago. In-
creane of the duties of his profession
which came after the death of his
brother and associate in practice, Dr.
Clark Galloway, made it imperative
for him to curtail his povition at the
university to give him time for study
in advance medical and surgical work.
He ‘ill now devote his entire time
to specialty work in internal medicine.
Btate officials expessed surprise over
his decision to retire as a member
but it had been expected for over a
year by close friends who realize that
it would be impossible for him to de-
rote the time he desired with the in-
crease demands of his profession.
During his service as a member of
the board, Dr. Galloway has seen Wil-
perforce grow from a small institution
fo one of the greatest seats of learn-
ing for the colored’ race in America.
its norma! department {s now stand-
ard and = recognizéd by the leading
tate universities of the country. Its
rocational departments are considered
n advance of any other Institution
naintained by the state. The depart-
nent are well equipped and officeretd
ind the board now bas $100,000.00 for
he erection of a new recitation build-
ng and a gymnasium and armory.
[his improvement will he carried out
luring the coming year.
In retiring Dr Galloway has the grat-
fication of knowing thut his uncelf-
sh services for the interest, of the
hool were appreciated by the fac
ty, the students and all people In-
crested In, the welfare work for col-
red people. Six years ago the larg-
“t building of the university waa
onstructed at u large expenditure of
norey: It sheltered the sdministra-
fon offices, the engineering department
ind many other branches of the school.
ts a mark of esteem the building was
mamed “Galloway Hall” and it will
tand long as a tribute to the man
vho pave twenty years of unquestioned
ervice for the school.—Xenia atone |

Quite helpful are the conferences held from time to time for the benefit of our farmers. New ideas are always given an inspiration for improvement gained.
As will be noted in another column, a call has been issued for the meeting of the republican state central committee to be held in Macon, March 10 This, no doubt, will be one of the largest attended meetings ever held.
The republicans of New York met in state convention this week and sounded the toesin of war on the democratic party. This state will send an uninstructed delegation to the national convention. It is understood that Justice Hughes is the favorite of this state.
If young boys and girls could only understand how happy it makes their parents when they are doing well and conducting themselves like ladies and gentlemen, it acquires to us they would make a greater effort than they do to avoid evil deeds and acts. A greater part of the pleasures in this life, to parents, is found in the success of their children going out of their homes. And much of the misery is caused by waywardness and misdeeds of sons and daughters.
Next week there will be held here a meeting of the Odd Fellows of the state in which there will be appointed a committee of five to take charge of the bureau of endowment of the order, and thereby assist in unraveling the complicated condition of the linkmen's affairs in the state. It is not know how large the delegation coming here from other cities and towns will be, but it is hoped that whatever is done by the convention will be done in an orderly, harmonious manner-that will redown to the credit and not discredit of the sixty thousand followers of Peter Ogden in Georgia.

That the Allied 'charities' committee has very ably filled the duties which it was appointed for has been clearly demonstrated by the excellent entertainments which have been accredited to the committee since its organization about two years ago. Such high class, interesting and genuinely pleasing entertainments as they have offered the public more than justify the existence of the committee. It is indeed pleasing to note the first glass artists of the race along various lines, which this committee has been instrumental in bringing to our city.
Thru their efforts some of the best talent the price affords has appeared here and the large attendance at their concert Monday night when they presented the well-known aggregation of singers from Chicago, attests the high appreciation in which the public holds their commendable efforts to increase the financial condition of the four organizations from which the committee's membership is drawn and to provide entertainment of an usually high order for the public. The committee has proven of great value to the community in bringing into our midst some of our best artists and their entertainment of Monday night was not only a success from a financial standpoint but pleasingly so from a musical point of view as well. So far the public has shown a fair appreciation of the committee's efforts to raise the musical tone of the community by bringing into our midst first class talent and it is hoped that the entertainers which this committee of young men brings before us from time to time will be more generally patronized.
Last week we published one of the phases of our funeral customs that needs reformation. On this subject reforms are needed along several angles. Below will be found one, in an excellent excerpt from the Southwestern Christian Advocate under the head of "Forced Funeral Attendance": "The whole Southern country is greatly afflicted with a multiplicity of secret, fraternal and benevolent societies. Many of these provide for their members a sick relief as
well as a small sum for funeral expenses. There are features connected with these organizations that are an outrage. On the death of a member many of these organizations require the attendance of all members, or a fine of from $1.00 to $2.00 for failure to attend the funeral. This is in addition to a funeral tax and even a carriage tax. And this forced attendance upon the funeral is unnatural and unnecessary. In the first place many persons who are forced to attend the funeral have no special interest in the deceased apart from membership in the organization which is largely based upon the idea of relief. And too this large attendance is often unnecessary, and the forced attendance works a hardship on many of those who attend. They must lose actually a day's work in order to make one of these funerals. This day's work is worth from $1.00 to $2.00. If they do not attend they must pay a fine and if they do attend they lose a day's work, and here is the outrage of the whole matter. Poor people who can ill afford to lose a day's work with large families to support, are greatly handicapped by such a procedure. What these organizations should do is to keep up their requirements to provide relief in sickness and funeral expenses at death, and to bury their deceased members by committees and small committees at that. We know one organization in the city of New Orleans among the women, whose shame has been that they actually spent more on funeral parades than they did in providing relief for the family of the deceased."
LINCOLN—DOUGLASS CELEBRATION
Friday night of last week, under the auspices of the Emancipation Association, a well arranged program was carried out at St. John Baptist church in honor of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass The addresses were delivered by Prof. H.

On Sunday night Lincoln memorial services were held at the First Congregational church. The students of the Beach and the Sunday school pupils took part. The address was delivered by Prof. J. W. Husert and a well rendered paper was given by Mrs. Howland. The at ordance was large and the exercises in string.

Dr. Riley, while at the race conference at Columbia some few weeks ago, addressed more than 2,000 people of both races. He spoke here on the subject the "South's duty to the Negro".

C.
The Lincoln-Douglass celebration was held at the W. M. E. church on Friday evening of last week, where a beautiful programme was rendered.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of Mrs. Martha Filler who departed this life February 14, 1915.
Dear friend one year ago you left us, To join the wondering show;
But tho earth's fairest flowers die.
And all beneath the sky is vain.
There is a land who confines lie.
Beyond the reach of care and pain.
Then let the hope of joy to come.
Dispel our cares and chase our fears.
If God be ours we're travelling home.
Tho passing thru a vale of tears.
A friend,
LAURA PARLIN
In loving remembrance of Mrs. Eliza E. Love, who departed this life February 15th, 1915.
Over the river our loved one rests.
Free from this world of care;
Angles welcome her as their guest,
In the heavenly land so fair.
Her memory still lingers in our breasts.
Tho a year has passed away;
We shall meet her in that land of rest.
And shall see her face to face.
Husband and Children
In loving rembrance of my beloved husband, late of No. 38 Patriarchy Lieut. James H. Fields, who departed this life February 16, 1910.
Do I miss you my darling and husband?
Oh how much I miss you.
I shall ever mark your bed of clay.
Where I laid you six years to-day.
Until the trumpet of time shall sound,
And all the dead in Christ shall rise.
To behold God on His throne.
And like the rounds in Jacob's ladder,
I shall bear my earthly cross,
And from the fulness of my soul.
Do I await that same sweet voice.
Of my Father, for He doth all things well.
Sleep on my darling, I will be present when the roll is called. I will meet you in the skies.
Loving wife.
Mrs. James H. Fields
In memory of our loved one, Samuel C. Green, who departed this life-February 17, 1892.
Twenty four years ago he left us.
Left us with an aching heart;
He was anchored. In Christ, Jesus.
And from us he ee'r depart.
He is gone but not forgotten.
And his place will never be filled;
He is gone to that colossal shore.

JUDGMENT Tas? af tha Loe
‘The theme from which the sermon
of Hey, W. I. Cash, of the First Con
gregational church was preached last |
Sunday morning was Judgment the
“pleasing, dreadful thought” and the
day when alt mankind, must stand
before the God of the universe and
“pass the solenm test”.
‘The sermon was a powerfal array
of facts and! biblical lore, augmented-
by deep earnestness and beautiled by
that eloquence which 1s the sequel
of consistent christian zeal, ‘This
subject is an unusual one in this day
of commerciniism and bustle in which
men think, most largely, upon things
of carth. This being a fact, a kind of
xbiver seemed to pass over the au-
dience as the preacker warmed into
his subject.
Yt was shown that the awful day
will not be one of awe unto all men.
To the contrary, it will hea day of
rejoicing to many—that It ‘will not be
a day of “wrath” in the common nc-
ceptation of the term, but a day when
the Judge of all the earth will be
plleaced to permit each soul to enter
Into the place which that soul has
prepared, by his life and conduct upon
earth, for itself, The preacher stated
that there would be those for whom
this day would have uo terrors, those
who would be eager, who would hunger
for His righteous pronunclamentum.
These would be men and women who
had faced duty to do it, whose Hives
had been consistent; those wifo, tho
they, nometimes, faltered, would never
relinquish hope but would arise by
the afrength of that hope and pur-
mue the Journey. Those who would
pars the solemn test would be the men
and women who had helped a fallen
prother—the valiant christian soldier
who had disdained to bend the pres-
nant binges of the Knee that thrift
might follow fawning. But a sadder
picture of that other and larger class
of men’ was pointed by the preached.
The bypocrite, the liar and the adult-
erer, the scandalmonger and the strife
breader were roundly excrivated and
a grafic discription given of their state
of mind at tha bar of justice at the
final day. The preacher contrasted
the character of the Judge at the bar
of last resort as against the judges
of today, stating that no influence
would swerve him from his judgment is
right. Color nor creed nor’ condition
wil) effect him, for Hix wisdom is
unsullied and every individual that
shal appear before him must stand
dpm merit and be judged according
with the deeds done in the flesh.
“AIL men”, sald the preacher, “are not
failures in the holy conception, whom
men dlect ta denominate as such. ‘That
man who will not lift as he rises fs no
hizber in the rizhtcons couception than
tbe man whom he leaves below. Man
does not rearlyl rise whew te fails to
raise. For the awfulness of that final
day 1s vitiated by fnith and the per-
formance of faithful and helpfal ser.
vice right here on earth. Then may we
not so live;raid the preacher, that there
shall be a record of our service upon
the last day, that will not merit for us
all, the “well done xod and faithful
nervants, enter Into the place that thou
hast carned by, the performance of
helpful service."—Collected by E, W. 8.
MASS MEETING OF

good for which it was intended. De-
spite the cold weather there was quite
a large congregation of eager, earnest
Msteners prevent. The lewon was read

choreh. A paper on “Unity” was read
by Mr. Sharperson. Rev. T. J. Goodall,
phstor of the First, Baptist churéh, the

a closer walk with God.” Tia sub-
ject “Christian Unity,” was discussed

SUNDAY SCHOOL,
Lesson First barter, For
Feb. 27, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Acts.vi, 1-7—Mem-
ory Verses, 2, 3—Golden Text, Gal. vi,’
2—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D.
M. Stearns,
Increase of numbers, even in or-|
inary church membership, does not
always tend to increase or even con-
tinuance of peace, especially if it
means pleasing more people, as ‘is
often the case, though it should not be
so, Pleasing people is not the business
ef the preacher or the session or the
yestry or the committee; not pleasing
men, but God, like the apostles in the |
last lesson, In our lesson, while the
uumber of the disciples was multiplied,
troubles multipled also, for some were
neglected or felt that they were in
the daily ministration. Today some
people are not happy if they think the
pastor seems to neglect them in his
pastoral calls or in not noticing them
after church or on the street, and no
committee can rectify this,
‘The twelve decided, wisely or un-
wisely. certainly for thelr owi com-
fort, thut they could not attend to this
business of serving tables, ft must
continue to give themselves to prayer
and Bible study and teaching the
Word. When compared with some
other lines-of service that of prayer
and teaching would be to many a de-
lightful preference, but ordinary serv-
ice must be attended to also and often
requires more grace. The preacher's
wife may need more grace and pa-
tlence for the housekeeping than he
does for the preaching, but any kind
of service needs a special anointing of
the Holy Spirit.
A committee of seven Spirit filled
men of honest report was chusen fot
this special ministry, the first two of
whom we shall become better ac
quainted with as we go on in our
studies, Stephen, the first of the sev-
en, occupies the prominent place in
this chapter and the next, while Philip
ia the most prominent in chapter vill.
We do not hear“of Peter again until
chapter vill, 14, and that 1s the last
mention of Jobn in the Acts except in
xii, 2, where he ts mentioned as the
drother of James, who was killed with
the sword. It is possible that some
others may have wished that they had
Deen nmong those chosen 38 apostles,
but here are two of seven seemingly
ordinary men honored abore some of
the apostles, It is well to remember
that the Spirit gives to every one sever-
ally as He will and to be content to
fll any place be its service small or
great.
It is written of Stephen that he was
a man full of faith and of the Holy
Ghost, full of faith and power; that
te did great wonders and miracles
among the people, and they were not
able to resist the wisdom and the
spirit by which he Spake (verses 5, %
3); also that D} the word of God' the
number of the disciples in Jerusale
multiplied greatly, and a xteat com-
pany of the priests were ‘ubedient to
the faith (verse 7. In chapter vy, 24,
we heard the high priest and others
wondering where unto this movement
would grow, and we still see it grow-
ing even unto this our day, but it does
look as Sf we had now come almost to
the completion of the growth of His
body, the church. The one thing to
do 43 to be full of faith and the power
of the Spirit and faithfully and fear-
lessly witness unto Him and His sal-
vation and His coming again, until we
are called out of the body or up in the
air to meet Tiim, The power of Stephen
in overcoming those who disputed with
him (verse 10) was in accordance with
our Lord’s assurance In Luke xxl, 15,
“I will give you 2 mouth and wisdom
which all your adversaries shall not be
able to gainsay nor resist.”
‘This and similar assurances, such as
Ex. iv, 12; Jer. 1, 7-0; John xiv, 13, 14;
xv, 7, are all for us today if we will
stand for Him as Stephen did, for His
eyes are still looking for hearts that
are whole toward Him, that He may
hold strongly with them (I Chron.
xvi, 9, margin). If we stand for Him
and with Him, as Peter and John and
Stephen did, we must expect to know
something of the hatred of the adver-
sary as they did, for we cannot know
the power of His resurrection without
knowing also the fellowship of His
sufferings (Phil, ii, 10). Those who |
could not gainsay nor resist the truth
of God in the power of the Spirit by
the mouth of Stephen could hire men
to falsely accuse Stephen- and make
him out a lar and 2 dangerous man to
be about.
‘That is one of the wiles of the devil
which he has practiced so long that

LY LETTER
oy 3G. Lindsay
thoughtful Negroes uf Savannah firm-
ly believe, fs this: First, we believe,
heéause-of the congenial climate and
the adfurally favorable surroundings
- coupled with the splendid feelings and
anata’ understanding between the
races in this espectally God-favored
section, It is one of the best cities, if
not the very best, for Negroes to live
in te be found any where.
Second, we believe that Savannah of-
Jers the finest opportuntties for mon
of the race with, small capital, backed
with great energy, ambition push and
detectnation, who are willing to
watt, but work while they wait, ofSany
city, a this entire country.
‘Tied, we believe that, Savannah
has made more tangible race progress
in the shatter gf organizing and build-
ing “banking {nstitutions, real estate
andJoan associations, insurance com-
panle! and drug stores, to say nothing
of (the modern and well appointed
honies Pouxht and built by members
of the race, and too, the greater por-
tiva of this splendid showing for the
race, las been accomplished in the
last fan years; the Ike of which, in
our apiniun, eunct be duplicated in
any community in this country with
a Negry population of only about forty-
five ugusand. !
Foarth, we belleve it the heighth of
folly,’ you even suicide, for any man
or sef of men to attempt in any way
to teach or eyen hint at members of
the ruce living other than on peaceable
terms’ with members of the other race
with whom they must come in contact
daily.
Fifth, we believe that the three Ne-
gro banks and the two Negro loan and
development companies are doing a
work fr the race in the matter of
building homes and lifting mortgages,
thereby ‘giving the oppressed a chance
tw get on their feet and make good in
the areua of this strenuous mo
life, ace not fully appreciate! by all
as they should be.
Sixt, we believe that the Negro
industrjal insnran-e companies in the
city, whieh are giving profitable em-|
ployment to more deserving young men
and youn women than nearly all of
the -otuer concerns operated by our
peopte. combined, which affords these
young people an opportunity to put in
practice some of the theory they learn-
vil In school, are doing a work of up-
lift for the race. which work the race
cin itt afford to be without.
Sevesth, we believe. since the Negro
race is Hke all other races of people,
whe must eat. wear clothes, have med-
iciue, wear shoes, use tarniture. read
hooks, papers and magazines, and in
fact, wap every thing else that ofher
ciyRizeq people use, that the race, like
other races, should arrange for the
manvfacturing and handling of these
elsentiads like people of other races
have bad to do and are still doing.
Fight, we believe that the Savannah
Tribuge, the recoynized mouth piece
of the race in this section for nearly
four decades, und which during ity
long aad useful carver, hay looked with
disdain upon the very thought of,
muck-raking, mud-throwing and stime-
slngius. and holding up to public
ridicutes the best brain and thought
of the race, such as lawydm. doctors.
edpeniops, ministers of the gospel and
Unsiness men, encouraging the other
fellow in his errencous and prejudical
idea, that the best in the mice is really
In enue. thgrefore, we are dectded-|
ly ofthe ppjoion that while this Ne-
zro “wifting agéacy. The Savannah
Tritgine, is one of the best known and
mont wjdely circulated Negro journals
in this country. Its friends und 2d-
mirerg “Could do much in the matter
of seeing, to it, that their friends every
where who they know would appre-j
ciate reading a high-class, clean, race
Journal which docs not tiink ‘that its

seritie to its code of thinking, wonld

Ninth,’ we believe from the very

portunity to compete with the other
fellow who may be engaged in’ the
same Tine. We also believe tbut the
men and women engaged in business
owe it to the race, us well ax to them-
selves, to keep their places of business
‘decent and attractive. Our places of
[business should be well lighted, _
well ventilated, free from colfwehs
and dust and, jn short, we should see
to it that our business places be neat,
clean, attractive and inviting.
This is the business..creed of the

RESPONSE OF EDWIN J. TURNER
Editor Savannah Tritune:
Peiug a member of the State Execu
tive Committed of, the Republican party
of Georgia I have received many let
ters from various parts ‘of fhe state
relative to my position in’ the election
of our next state chairman aud I beg
space in your paper to make known
my position and opinion to my many
friends thruout Georgia.
In reply to many letters that came
to me from Hon. H. U. Johnson and
Mr. Henry 8. Jackson of Atlanta re-
questing me to attend a meeting that
was held in Atlanta February 10th,
1916, I made this answer.
“Fon. U1. L. Johnson.
| Atlanta, Ga,
Dear Sir:
| “All of your communications were
received and they. would have been
answered ecurlier had I not been busy
with some seriously sick people; dgain
X could not write you until the eleventh
hour as it was impossible for me
to determine whether I could be there
or not. I find it impossible to attend
the meeting becanse of the predomi-
nating influence of Mr. Henry S. Jack-
son who I cannot believe is a suffi-
ciently tried Republican. I feel that
I voice the sentiments of a large num-
ber of the Republicans of my race in
Muscogee county and in the Fourth
Congressional District when I tell you
that we just haven't got the faith in
Mr. Jackson and Bir. Pickett, I can-
not play two-faced with you and while
I appreciate your manly leadership’
in other things we cannot allow you!
to believe, that the two gentlemen
just mentionel can stand for those
party principles of the Negro’s rights
in the same state and under the same
law as seriously as Col. Walter H.
Johnson has stood for more than
thirty years.
“I care not what course others may
take, but as for me, I am going to
stick to the Old Guard.”
Very respectfally,
EDWIN J. TURNER
