The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI WASHINGTON FUND RESPONDED TO MERBAL LARGE SUBSCRIPTIONS ALREADY RECEIVED Vigorous Campaign for Memorial Fund Well Under Way. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Feb. 19—It would be extremely difficult to measure the value and service of a life like that of the late Booker T. Washington because so much was crowded in it. So many influences radiated from Tuskegee Institute that there are few who did not in some way feel the effect of his forceful personality. This thought has been suggested by two letters which came to Tuskegee Institute almost the same day: one from Jacksonville, Fla., and the other from Durham, N. C. Both of these letters were from business men and one of them traces his success in business directly to Dr. Washington, while the other frankly suggests that the National Negro Business League, which was fathered by his genious and fostered at Tuskegee, has been an important contributing element in the success of many business enterprises. He further urges that support to the memorial fund is a fitting way for business men to exhibit their appreciation for the inspiration which they have received. The letter from Mr. C. H. Anderson, a well-known business man of Jacksonville said, in part: "Since November 14th, I have hardly been able to transact my business for Dr. Washington way very largely responsible for such success as I now enjoy and his death has shocked and stunned me. For instance, when I was about to start my business, I could not see my way clear in certain matters and wrote to him for advice * * * The answer he sent helped me so much and doubled my determination to succeed." This letter is a real human interest story. Mr. Anderson has personally subscribed $250 toward the fund. The letter from Durham, N. C., was from Mr. C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Providential Association. After describing his own feeling of personal loss over the death of Dr. Washington. Mr. Spaulding announces that the executives of his company have decided to give a contribution of $250 in the name of the association, and that an additional $250 has been subscribed by the citizens of Durham, with an additional $500 probably in sight. The North Coralina Mutual thru Mr. Spaulding has sent the following letter to the "Agents of the North Carolina Mutual Association: "The late Dr. Booker T. Washington was responsible in a large degree for the establishment of many of the business enterprises now operated by the colored people. He spent his useful life trying to give encouragement along this line and it is the duty of every Negro in business to contribute liberally to the Two Million Dollar Fund which is to be raised as memorial to our great lamented leader. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, has been appointed to raise $250,000 from among the colored people and I do not think a greater tribute can be paid to the memory of Dr. Washington than for us to get busy and assist Mr. Scott in raising this amount. Our company is going to lead off with a donation, as well as the individual gifts of the officers of the company and we want you as representative citizens in your communities, to take the lead in this movement by interesting individuals, churches, secret societies and other Negro organizations. I hope the men who make up our agency force will be as liberal as possible in donating to this worthy cause and that you will give this matter your prompt attention. I suggest that you write to Mr. Scott at Tuskegee Institute, stating how much he can depend upon you and your townsmen to raise. I am, very sincerely yours. (Signed) C. C. Spoulding, Gen. Mgr." Among the other colored friends who have subscribed $100 or more are Mr. Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Mississippi; Bishop George W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C.; Madame C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, and Prof. George W. Carver and Mr. W. V. Chambillss of Tuskegee, each of whom has subscribed $500. The spirit shown by the representative friends is typical of the spirit being exhibited by colored people, through the country, and if their example in giving is followed by business men, business organizations, and colored cit- HARE—RICHARDSON RECITAL Premier Artists of America Appear in Joint Recital at St. Philip Church Friday Night Mareh 3rd. Press, platform and pulpit, the country over, are loud in their praises of the splendid concert which Maud Cuney Hare and W. H. Richardson are rendering. In their lines these two people have reached the topmost ring of the ladder of achievement. "Truly an inspiration" says one, "to an ambitious student of piano or voice, to sit for an hour under the spell of these artists of the race." Mrs. Hare's finesse of interpretation, faultless technique and her gracious manner, at once captivate her audience. To this charm, Mr. Richardson brings his voice, at once powerful, wide of range, and full of melody and based upon a manifest sentimentalism and musical temperament. The ensemble makes a very charming and enchanting entertainment, and the Allied Charities Committee has scored a ten-stroke in bringing these people before the Savannah public. These artists come under contract, signed several months ago, which calls for a good sum of money, and it is hoped that the people will justify the Savannah reputation by turning out in large and appreciative numbers. It is expected that these two brilliant young artists, whose personal charms, aside from their brilliant ability, make them very congenial visitors, will be pleasantly entertained by the citizens. To those who did, as well as to those who did not witness the pretty little concert of the Williams Singers, it will be interesting, to say that this event will in every way measure up to that same high standard of quality and excellence. These latter artists will contrast the splendid professional individuality with the entrancing concert effort of the former. SHAW-SMALLS The wedding of Miss Louise Houston Smalls to Mr. Maud Shaw on Wednesday evening of last week at the home of her father, Mr. David Smalls, 222 East Oglethorpe Avenue, was an interesting affair. The home was attractively arranged for the occasion. The attendance at the wedding and the many beautiful and useful presents received be-poke the esteem in which the contracting parties are held by their wide circle of friends. Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, pastor of the F. A. B. church, performed the ceremony. The out of town attendants at the wedding were Mrs. Wm. T. Howard of White Plains, N. Y., a sister of the bride, and Mrs. Lucy Denlow of Jacksonville, Fla., a sister of the groom. The bride is a young lady of a pleasing disposition and has many admirers. For several years she taught a county school. The groom is a young man of a promising future and is in employ of the custodian department of the post office. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw are residing at 207 East Congress street where they well be delighted to receive their many friends. SMITH-CLARK Miss Albertina Smith and Mr. Daniel Clark were married Tuesday evening at the home of the former's sister, 527 Bolton street, west. The ceremony which was witnessed by a few friends of the contracting parties, was performed by the Rev. H. D. Butler, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. PRISCILLA ART CIRCLE The Priscilla Art Circle, one of the leading organizations among colored women in this city, celebrated its second anniversary on Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Alice Hardwick, West 40th street. A very unique programme consisting of games and music was arranged for the occasion. The programme was as follows: Song, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee"; roll call of members which was responded to with quotations from various authors; reading by Mrs. L. H. Hubert: instrumental solo. Mrs. T. J. Goodall; history of the circle, Miss M. E. Victory. The president, Mrs. M. E. Harper then read the charter which was forwarded from Louisville, Ky., a few days ago. The Priscilla Art Circle is the local branch of the National Historical Art League of which Mrs. Fannie Givens is president. izens generally, the fund for $250,000 now being sought from the colored people, will be speedily raised. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 26TH 1916 ODD FELLOWS CONVENTION NAMES NINE MEMBERS ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS ODD FELLOWS CONVENTION NAMES NINE MEMBERS ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS INTERESTING NEWS FROM THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C., Feb. 24.—One of the established institutions of the nation's capitol, and one that is rendering a character of service not to be found anywhere else in this section of the country in such a perfect degree, is the Clarke Training School. It is housed in a spacious mansion, superbly equipped, at 2422 K street, northwest, convenient to the students to whom it offers practical courses in practical vocations, and located at the edge of the neighborhood in which resides the wealthy and influential clientele to whom it is supplying the skilled helpers that have long been sought, and too seldom found, to perform the manifold tasks necessary to the successful operation of the larger households of the land. The founder, manager and guiding spirit of this evangel of the modern domestic idea is Mrs. Addie R. Clarke, a woman of rare executive ability, of far-vision as to the community's crying need, and of intensely-sound convictions as to her duty to the rising generation of young colored women, who must make their own way in the world. Some years ago, at the request of a number of the leading families of the city, and in response to continued urging on the part of fashionable women's clubs and such useful organizations as the Housekeepers' Alliance, Mrs. Clarke opened an industrial center, for the expert training of women and girls in household pursuits. Thru constant and persistent effort, and supported by the moral and substantial and powerful friends, Mrs. Clark has developed, from the humblest of beginnings, an institution of which any people might well be proud. In addition to the regular curriculum, which includes practical household instruction and the finer arts of domestic science, the school announces for this month the inauguration of two very attractive courses, the actual work to begin next Monday. The first offering is to be a six weeks' course in millinery, and, the second a six weeks' course in ladies' tailoring. Women of today no longer compelled to depend upon masculine relatives for support, are earning an independent livelihood by an expert knowledge of millinery and ladies' tailoring, and in pushing these gainful occupations before our girls, Mrs. Clarke is rendering the race a distinct service. Mrs. Clarke is a native of South Carolina and during her sojourn here she has labored in the forefront of battle for the social, industrial and moral uplift of colored women and girls and has won merited commendation for her never-falling public spirited and open-handed generosity in relation to all of the activities of her people. Prof. John T. Layton Dies Prof. John T. Layton, identified with musical instruction in the public schools for thirty-five years, a large part of that period assistant director of music in the colored divisions, died Monday of last week at his nome, 1722 10th street, northwest, at the age of seventy-five years. His illness had covered many months and not long ago he was given an indenfinite leave of absence from the choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, where he had served as chorister for forty-five years. He was a veteran of the Civil war, and was prominent in the local post of the G. A. R. He was a member of many fraternities, among them the F. A. A. M., the Colored Oldest Inhabitants' Association, the Independent Order of S. Luke, the Teachers' Benefit Annuty Association, and the Banneker Relief Association. He leaves a widow. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton: two sons, J. Turner Layton, a New York, musician, and Alfred Mason Layton, a student in the M Street High School. Prot. Layton's career in this community was long, picturesque and useful. Besides his work in the schools and choirs, he was a willing helper in all of the larger musical affairs here, being the director of the famous S. Coleridge Taylor Choral Society, the most notable organization of its kind in the country. He attended at various times the Cardiff and Collins Institute, Hound Lake conservatory at Martha's Vineyard, the (Continued on Page 8) MEETING WAS HELD TUESDAY AT MASONIC TEMPLE About 200 Delegates Session Moved Along Smoothly with Exception of One Hitch—Dr. B. W. S. Daniels Presided—About Five Hundred Members of the Order Attended the Meeting. The convention of the Grand United Order of Odd fellows of Georgia which was called by a volunteer committee to assemble in this city, convened here on last Tuesday morning. As early as Sunday morning, it was manifest that things would be busy when the hour for calling on the meeting would have arrived. As was predicted by The Tribune in its last issue that the advance guard of the movement would appear early, was demonstrated by the arrival of the secretary of the call, R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, on Sunday morning. With the arrival of this conspicuous individual began the activities of the committee appointed by the various lodges of the city to look after the cares and accommodations of the delegate who were expected from all over the state. The actual interest in the convention was put in motion on Sunday night when A. Graves of Atlanta, who is considered by many of the members thrust the state as the leader of the faction which brought about the suspension of B. S. engram and B. J. Davis who were acting in the capacity of grand master and grand secretary, respectively, of District Grand Lodge No. 18, of Odd Fellows, Jurisdiction of Georgia. The headquarters of the committee of arrangements was located on West Broad street, facing Alice street, and it was somewhat of a busy scene. From early Monday morning the committee had on duty and so well arranged were their plans for caring for the visitors, that it became easy for them to assign all who applied for a home to a reasonable and satisfactory place. The delegates and visitors to the convention began to arrive Monday morning, and by Monday afternoon the town was alive with the followers of Peter Ogden, who instituted the order in America. The bulk of the delegates arrived on Monday night when the Atlanta special pulled into the city, and which brought the majority of the agitators who were opposed to the way the affairs of the order had been conducted by the Ingram-Davis faction, and also some of the principals in the law'suit instituted in Atlanta as to the endowment fund of the order. Upon the arrival of the special train from Atlanta the caucuses and the exchanging of ideas as to the situation of affairs began and it was not until early Tuesday morning before the interested throng wended their way to their places of abode to take advantage of a few hours' rest. It was plainly seen that the leaders in the calling of the convention (and long, too, before the time for it to convene) had everything mapped out as to its procedure, and also those who were to compose the board of directors. But the appearance on the scene of battle of three of the deposed executive board of the order of Georgia, J. M. Pitts, J. C. Styles and Rev. Wm. Decker Johnson, changed their plans considerably, for they contended that, as they were the surviving members of said deposed executive board and as they were already temporary receivers of the property and assets of the order, appointed by the courts of Fulton county, that they should be elected on the proposed board by the convention that was here assembled. This contention was met with a frown by the radicals, but so hard was this particular matter pressed and seeing the possibility of a wrangle in the convention, the slate makers conceded to their wishes, which resulted in their names being placed on the ticket for positions on the board. A. Graves of Atlanta, the prime mover in bringing about this state of affairs, was the most conspicuous figure on the floor of the convention. Every motion that was made and sustained by the chair was made by him, except the motion to adopt the report (Contnued, on Page-8) PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS Comparison of Records of Col. W. H. Johnson and Mr. Henry S. Jackson and Mr. Roscoe Pickett Gentlemen, choose ye, this day, whom you will have as your state chairman and party executive. Whether you will take W. H. Johnson, the true and tried, or H. S. Jackson, the complete failure. Col. Walter H. Johnson came to the chairmanship of the Republican Central Committee of Georgia in 1897 in succession to Col. Alfred E. Buck—Sans puer, sans et reproche—who was appointed to the high office of Minister to Japan in recognition of his eminent service to his country and to his party. For five or six months the party was without a chairman. Judson W. Lyons, National Committeeman, was the recognized head. He was young and untried in the large affairs of the state, but Col Johnson stood by him loyally in advising about matters, until he was regularly elected that fall to the chairmanship. Thenceforward peace and harmony prevailed in the party of the state. The crowning glory of the Republicans of the state of Georgia within the last twenty years (and history has so recorded) has been the defeat of the attempt to reduce the south's representation in the National Convention. Judson W. Lyons was elected national committeeman in 1896 and inherited the fight to keep our representation when he went on that august Committee. For twelve years he handled the defense of the south's right to representation in the National Convention with masterful ability. At the convention in Philadelphia in 1900, the effort to reduce representation was led by no less distinguished leader than Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, admitted one of the ablest men of his day. Col. Walter H. Johnson and Judson W. Lyons so marshalled and handled our forces that Senator Quay was forced to withdraw his resolution in open convention in the presence of more than twenty-five thousand people. Mr. Henry S. Jackson through official coercion succeeded to the office of national committeeman and at the first clash of arms, we have lost eleven votes in that body from the state of Georgia. No wonder that the loyal and true hearted Republicans of the country are now saying that Walter H. Johnson and Judson W. Lyons saved us from discrimination and reduction of representation for twelve years, and O! that we had such men back again from the Empire State of the south to represent the party. The south has lost seventy-eight votes from the national convention, and this through the incompetence and inefficiency of our present representative on the national committee, Henry S. Jackson. There were more Republicans in charge during Col. Johnson's unharmed administration in the state, perilips, than had ever been in office before or since the war. Peace and harmony reigned supreme. There was no bickering, no friction, no fights. Every man's interest was amply and carefully looked after. Seven colored men occupied presidential offices. They were C. C. Wimbish, collector of port of Atlanta. E. L. Simon and L. J. Price, post master of South Atlanta; J. M. Jackson, post master of Darlen; Henry A. Rucker, collector of internal revenue of the state of Georgia; John H. Deveaux, collector of the port of Savannah. Ga; M. B. Morton, "Pink" post master at Athens, Ga., and Budd Coffee and J. N. Holdzdorf, collector of port of St. Mary's. And finally, after all these things had been done, National Committeeman Lyons, who was a true and tried servant, had held himself back until he could make a record, was appointed to the office of register of the U. S. Treasury at Washington. What has been done by Mr. Henry S. Jackson's administration, but crimination and recrimination and the removal of all Republicans from place in the state? We ask the question, let him and his friends answer it. His candidate for chairman, Mr. Roscoe Pickett is a state senator of Georgia. Last summer there was bill introduced in the Georgia Senate making it a crime for a white person to teach in colored schools. The bill passed that body unanimously. Mr. Pickett was a member of the Senate, and the records fall to show that he entered either any protest or any vote against this ungodly legislation. And now he (Continued on Page 8) NUMBER 16 PLANNING FOR BIG ATHLETIC EVENT SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES WILL BE HELD MAY 12TH Social and Athletic Clubs to Take a Prominent Part The Boys' Club of the Urban League, having in charge the staging of the annual classic, the school children's races—held an enthusiastic meeting last Monday night. Plans were laid for making the races this year, the greatest ever. More than ever before the promoters plan to have the races reach the whole people—even to the uttermost of all ages, conditions and locations. Our plans provide for entries from all the leading social and fraternal organizations. A "flying squadron" committee has in charge the matter of "reaching the unreached" and altho our attendance figures of last year reached 5,000 souls (the largest assembly of colored people ever gathered in this city for any purpose), this committee has for its aim and slogan, "10,000 people in the Park." An even hundred ($100.00) dollars will be hung up in prizes of gold and silver medals. Designs for these medals which will typify the emblemate of our institution, will soon go forward to the manufacturers so that as early as possible, these trophies will be displayed in the show windows of various business houses. The committee has planned to collect the cooperation of the various heads of the public and private schools in formulating the rules governing the awards. Due notice of all plans will be published. The colored merchants and manufacturers, too, will be asked to make use of this occasion as a means of advertising their businesses before the public. It is expected that a great many will install interesting exhibits and distribute novel advertising literature. A second meeting of the committee will be held at 917 1-2 West Broad street, Savannah Pharmacy Building, Monday, February 28th, at 7:15 p.m. Every member of the committee is urged to be present. The committee in charge is composed of J. H. Butler, J. M. Ferreebee, O. C. Middleton, Sam, A. King, H. M. Collier D. J. Scott, J. C. Lindsay, A. R. Ferreebee, S. A. Grant, F. A. Dilworth, M. T. Jones, C. E. Brent, J. G. Lemon. REV. REID TAKES CHARGE OF F A. B. CHURCH, BOLTON, ST. Arived Here Last Week to Assume New Pastoral Duties. Rev. D. Augustine Reid who was recently called to the pastorate of the First African Baptist Church, West Broad and Bolton streets, arrived in the city last week to assume his new charge. Rev. Reid is well known here, having filled the pulpit of the Second Baptist Church in this city for several years. From this charge he went to Anniston, Ala., and his return to this field is much welcomed by his wide circle of friends in this city. Rev. Reid is a man of Exceptional energy and one of the most progressive ministers the local pulpit has had His new charge here will probably be the scene of many interesting meetings under his progressive intelligent guidance and no doubt its member ship will be very materially increased by him.

When this same company appeared recently at the Century theatre in New York, we were quite as enthusiastic, and they received an equally favorable reception.

Then you may tell the tale, nor fear What the result of speech may be." Spoiling Masonic Material Having a sincere desire to correct the evil of spoiling good Masonic material, which is so often done by the thoughtless brethren, induces me to write this article. I believe that a large majority of applies for the mysteries of Freemasonry would make good Masons if they were properly treated from the time they first signed their petition until they were raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason. It often happens that as soon as a gentleman application for the mysteries of Freemasonry that thoughtless brethren commences badgering him about riding the goat, climbing the greased pole, etc., thereby diverting his mind from the sublime ceremonies through which he is to pass. They have prepared his mind to be on the lookout for some huge joke of some kind to be played on him, consequently during the ceremony of initiation the candidate is at all times looking for the joke he is expecting to have sprung on him, instead of concentrating his mind on the ceremonies thru which he is passing, and he thereby loses sight of the lessons which are intended to be taught. Then again, when the candidate is taken into the Preparation Room, the brethren often begin joking with him in a manner that is not in accord with the spirit of Freemasonry, and, altho he may proceed thru the ceremonies of initiation, he will never be a Mason at heart, for he has been everlastingly spoiled. The officers whose duty it is to look after the preparation of the candidate should, in a gentlemanly and dignified manner, inform the candidate that the rules of the order require a certain form of preparation. That form of preparation should be fully explained to him, with the assurance that a satisfactory explanation would be given him for the same. The candidate should also be assured that there would be no joke played upon him, and be should be advised to keep his mind concentrated on the ceremonies thru which he will pass, and to pay strict attention to all that he may hear and see, as he will be required to commit to memory all that he has passed thru before he can be advanced to another degree. When the candidate is treated and advised as above mentioned he will rarely fail to become interested in the work which, if well done, will make him a Freemason worthy of the name. I have frequently been present when the degree of an Entered Apprentice was conferred thru the first section in a very creditable manner, but the second and third sections were omitted entirely, leaving the candidate as much in the dark, so far as the principles of the Order are concerned, as tho he had never put his foot on the checkered pavement. And yet there are brethren who wonder why "So and So" are not enthusiastic Masons. There is certainly something in Freemasonry besides the mere form of initiation. The ceremonies are only the shell that contains the kernel of the soul of Freemasonry. A baker sometimes makes poor bread from good flour. So in Freemasonry, we often make a poor Mason out of good material, because the workmen are not well skilled and qualified to do the work. The fact is that no master should attempt to confer a degree unless he is able to do the work in a proper manner. As Freemasons we should "fit our minds to be a living stone for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." We should, therefore, be very careful in handling the material with which we are working, and see that it is not spoiled.—Selected. --- Freemasonry which has withstood earth's changes—the shock of nations and revolutions of the ages, and the hatred of misguided and misinformed men—will still live if we are true; sceptres pass away, thrones crumble, kingdoms fall but the Masonic fabric will stand if we are true. Unchanged and unchanging, Masonry will exist unto the end of the ages. if we live up to our high privileges and exemplify without the lodge what we are taught within it.—Selected. With the practice of Masonic principles all nations could safely disarm, and the tax on labor of $3,000,000 a year could be saved.—Masonic News. Visiting the Sick There is nothing more to be credited of a Mason than visiting the sick brothers. A brother confined to his room for many days is often helped more by a visit from a member of his lodge than by the doctor's medicines. Don't sit down by him and whine but with a cheering conversation lead his mind away from his troubles. It is not necessary to tell him he looks badly, and that you sympathize with him in his affliction—his glass too truly tells him the first and your visit and friendly words show your interest in him. CARE OF Has the tered? If that this delay. It est import Don't complain to him of anything that may have gone amiss in the lodge, or over your own affairs, but tell him of pleasant happenings and show by your looks that all is well, and that the world is better and brighter and growing more so every cycle of the sun. Let the magnetism of your own soul create brightness and happiness in his. Remember the old adage that "iron sharpeneth iron, so does the face of man his friends." If you do these things your visit will be a blessing and your hour well spent, but if you can't you had better remain away, and within the shades of your own surroundings, nurse the gloomy rumblings of unsatisfied selfishness.—The Triangle.

If not, you should see to it that this duty is performed without delay. It may some time be of greatest importance to your child that there be in existence an accurate legal record of his birth, date, place and parentage. Such a record serves to establish his age beyond question, and thru this his right to the legal period of schooling and freedom from labor. It may also serve to establish his right to a disputed inheritance and to establish for him various property or other legal rights which may be in dispute. There are numerous instances where the lack of this sort of record has been the cause of serious losses of inheritance and of educational and other rights. In New York City in 1913 the birth record helped to enforce the personal or property rights of more than 138,000 persons. It is in most states required by law that the doctor, midwife, or other attendants at birth shall report the birth to the registrator of births, but as this duty is not infrequently neglected, parents should investigate to see whether it has been done properly in the case of their children. The complete registering of all births is indispensable, not only to the individual, but to the state and nation. The Federal Government can and does tell us exactly how great is the accession to our population each year by immigration, or intake from foreign lands. At each port of landing immigration inspectors record each arrival and tell us his or her nationality, age, sex, distinction, and how much money each one brings. But the Federal Government cannot go into the states and cities and establish registration officers and tell us how many children enter each state by birth. This work must be done by each state separately. We have no national book-keeping to account for the ebb and flow of human life as an asset and a liability of our civic organism. We have no national records to give our sanitarians and students a basis for their preventive studies. Congress by resolution has urged the states to enact and enforce suitable registration legislations. The state government must now act. Most of the states now have adequate laws, their enforcement, however, depends to a large extent upon popular support. This support is assured if individual parents will insist upon the registration of each birth. "Who is that remarkable looking man?" "Himmel! That's the magician who yesterday turned beer into water 'And they let a man like that go around loose'."—Meggendorfer Blatter.

Charity hospital is the only s&8tifution “gf sitd kind In the state where the entire staff 1s composed of Negro physitans. All of the city work is done by its staff and the general efficieney ofthe work of the institution redounds to the credit of the medical pyoression among Negroes. The hospital receives from the clty about nine hundred dollars a year, .an amount which is but very small in comparison to that required for maintenance during twelve months. Yet, regardless of financial embarrass- ment, the institution is kept up to a high stage of efficlency which should ‘call for the Righest pratse of those who care to take time to learn of its excellent work. For many years the institution has been plodding along serving a cause which should have the united support of the Negroes in this city and which 38 altogether too little appreciated by our people. It 1s per- haps the only institution which, started by our people years ago, has withstood the ravages of time and has come to the front with flying colors. Charity hos- pital is indeed one of the most deserv- ing institutions among us and one in which we should all take much pride and should give 2 helping hand when- ever possible. In bold faced, 24 point type, widely spaced and occupying the entire front page of the paper, the South Georgian, a white weekly published at Fort Gaines, speaks out very prominently anent the outbreak of lawlessness in the state in the following: Time to Call an Abrupt Halt Reluctantly and with some trepl- dation we are about to make a state- ment of fact that will call any man fit to be called a white man to feel anything but proud of the circum- stances which made this article nec- essary. * Down in Bluffton district Saturday ‘night some. more church property be longing to Negroes was destroyed hy fire. The supposition ts that a few miserable, misguided miscereants wear- ing white men’s skins on the, outside and the hearts of cravens in their breasts went at the hour of midnight, like thieves to 2 conerlb, and struck torches to the buildings.

Had there existed any good Teason' for renid¥ing these’ bufldings;* ‘reat white men would have attended ta the Job in broad daylight and in a way that would have reflected no discredit upon the white people of this county.

Whites and blacks are lying here at ‘peace with each other, and the one is ‘more or less dependent upon the other. Cursed be he who disturbs those amic- ante relations.

HALL ST. : NEAR PRICE. PAGE SIK Continued from page one) The Town in Review Judge Robert H. Terrell has returned from Indianapolis, Ind., where he spoke last Sunday in Indiana's largest auditorium at a monster "Lincoln-Douglas" celebration. The eminent jurist is delighted with the reception accorded him by the good people of the Hoosier capitol, and wants to go again. --- The colored people of the entire country feel grateful to Congressman L. C. Dyer, who left his seat here at a critical period in general legislation to go to his home city, St. Louis, Mo., to lend the strength of his powerful influence toward defeating the segregation measure which is up for action at a special election there on the 29th. Congressman Dyer proves himself to be a genuine friend to the Negro—the kind of a man the race is looking for and finds all too seldom. * * * Attorney T. J. Calloway, who is conducting a prosperous real estate business at 1403 New York Avenue, went to Hopewell, Va., last week on an important mission. He reports the town to be in process of rehabilitation from the ravages of the recent fire, but poor provision is being made for the accommodation of the Negroes employed there. --- The address of Dr. N. W. D. Norman on the subject "Is the European was the armageddon?" is attracting considerable attention at the hands of this thinking section of the country. The eloquent divine, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, is of the opinion that following the great war across the seas the world will witness a revolution in social, industrial and commercial activities that will surprise the students of history, and will make for the betterment of the darker states everywhere. ★ ★ ★ The Ministers' Conference of Alexander, Va., joined last Thursday night in memorial services in honor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. The exercises were held at the Third Baptist church and Rev. W. H. R. Powell was the principal speaker. Rev. M. W. Clair and his progressive congregation of the Asbury "M. R. Church expect to occupy their stately stone edifice at 11th and K streets about the first Sunday in June. A vigorous campaign is on at present to raise $8,000 to supply the pews and other furniture for the new church. The movement to establish a separate civil service system for the selection of appointees under the government of the District of Columbia is being warmly supported by all classes of our citizens. It is believed that such a system would inure to the benefit of the educated young men and women of the District, who have no means of getting into the local service, save by political favor, which they are so seldom able to command. President Wilson and the district commissioners are said to be in sympathy with the plan, and there is a general expectation that the new method of naming minor appointees will be adopted at an early date. *** Miss Gonzella White is stronger as a comedienne than many have been giving her credit for being. Her "Blues" last week at Dudley's (her original composition), was a scream and the winomely-gowned artiste was compelled to respond to encore after encore nightly. Jack Wiggins "Alabama Dream" and other dandy offerings went as big as of yore and his dancing was a wonder. Wiggins and White in sketch work, slugging and dancing "team up" finely and they should stick together permanently. John W. Cooper, the old reliable ventriloquist, had an unusually lively time at Dudley's last week in his mime barber shop with the four dummies, which he seems to imbue with real life. The Kemps had a classy act recently at the Howard. Mrs. Kemp's "Disposition" was all right and Bobby's invitation to see him at "Loutsville" will be accepted at the first convenient opportunity. Mrs. Kemp's gowns made all femininity flutter. Misses Effie King and Lottie Gee have joined hands again and will soon be seen here in a new singing and dancing act. They are in New York at present, getting their costumes together and rehearsing their new work. The King and Gee combination is one of the best the country has seen in vaudeville, and Washington's amusement lovers rejoice to know that they are "coming back." Billy King's Dramatic Company --- opened at the Howard Monday night in the sterling melodrama "His Last Sin", and leaped at once into the favor of one of the most brilliant audiences that has ever gathered at this "playhouse beautiful." The play is put on in thoroughly legitimate lines and the acting was superb in all respects. Billy King carries the comedy part in his infinitable way and added a host of friends to his already long list here. Miss Hattle McIntosh did a fine piece of acting as the wrong woman, "Belle," and Howard Kelly as the villain, "Frank Clayton" alias "Willard," scored heavily. Charles Moore, William Walker, Miss Gertrude Saunders, Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Overstreet and others of the cast had roles that fitted them like gloves. The tense scenes were enacted with the skill of Broadway emotionalists and the company held the rapt attention of the monster audience every minute they were on the stage. Billy's triumph is all the sweeter in view of the untoward start his aggregation made on the occasion of their first visit here some months ago. In all probability the King company will hold the boards indefinitely at the Howard, as they have an immense repetorire of dramatic productions. * * * The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to put on the race problem play, "Rachel," at the Myrtilla Miner Normal school, March 3rd and 4th. The leading role is to be taken by Miss Rachel Guy, and the stage management will be in the capable hands of Mr. Nathaniel Guy. The committee in charge consists of Mrs. Laura B. Glenn, chairman; Mrs. A. J. Cooper, Mrs. Clara Burrjill Bruce and Prof. E. C. Williams. "Rachel" is from the pen of Miss Angelina Grimke, daughter of the Hon. A. H. Grimke, and is said to be the first attempt to use the stage for race propaganda—from the Negro's side at least. * * * Harry Brown, the Indian cartoonist, with his lightening-like crayon, delighted the audiences at the Howard last week. Prof. Wood's marvelous Dog and Reese Dupree, assisted by Michael Jackson, high-class entertainers, rounded out an enjoyable bill. "Texico", an original dancer, opened Monday night but as the local statutes interfered with the style of evolutions that she usually put over, she appeared to a disadvantage and was "warned". * * * Sandy and Cretchen Burns, those clever actors and singers, are at the Blue Mouse this week, doing an act the first half never before seen in Washington. "This is a clever pair and they get big results because they study and are always doing stunts that no one else has thought of doing just that way.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IX.—First Quarter, For . Feb. 27, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Acts vi, 1-7—Memory Verses, 2, 3—Golden Text, Gal. vi, 2—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Increase of numbers, even in ordinary church membership, does not always tend to increase or even continuance 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 of the preacher or the session or the vestry or the committee; not pleasing men, but God, like the apostles in the last lesson. In our lesson, while the number of the disciples was multiplied, troubles multiplied 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 unwisely, certainly for their own comfort, that they could not attend to this business of serving tables, but 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 delightful preference, but ordinary service must be attended to also and often requires more grace. The preacher's wife may need more grace and patience 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 chosen for this special ministry, the first two of whom we shall become better acquainted with as we go on in our studies. Stephen, the first of the seven, occupies the prominent place in this chapter and the next, while Philip is the most prominent in chapter vill. We do not hear of Peter again until chapter vill, 14, and that is the last mention of John in the Acts except in xil, 2, where he is mentioned as the brother of James, who was killed with the sword. It is possible that some others may have wished that they had been among these chosen as apostles, but here are two of seven seemingly ordinary men honored above some of the apostles. It is well to remember that the Spirit gives to every one severally as He will and to be content to fill any place be its service small or great. It is written of Stephen that he was as man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, full of faith and power; that he 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, 8, 10); also that by the word of God the number of the disciples in Jerusalem multiplied greatly, and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith (verse 7). In chapter v. 24, we heard the high priest and others wondering where unto this movement would grow, and we still see it growing even unto this our day, but it does look as if we had now come almost to the completion of the growth of His body, the church. The one thing to do is to be full of faith and the power of the Spirit and faithfully and fearlessly witness unto Him and His salvation and His coming again until we are called out of the body or up in the air to meet Him. 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 a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainay nor resist." This and similar assurances, such as Ex. iv, 12; Jer. 1, 7-9; 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 (II Chron. xv1, 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 adversary as they did, for we cannot know the power of His resurrection without knowing also the fellowship of His sufferings (Phil. ill, 10). Those who could not gainay 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 liar and a dangerous man to be about. That is one of the wiles of the devil which he has practiced so long that he is very skillful in it. He tried it even upon our Lord Himself, and we cannot hope to escape, for as the Lord Jesus was persecuted, so must His followers expect to be (John xv, 20). To these false accusations before the council we do not read that Stephen made any reply (verses 11-14). Like David and like the Lord Jesus, he was dumb before them (Ps. xxxvill, 13) xxxix, 1; 2; Matt. xxxv, 63; xxvill, 12, 14). It is a great victory when one can keep his mouth and his tongue at such a time or at any time (Prov. xvi, 23). Although Stephen was outwardly in the presence of the council, his heart was in the presence of God, and it was seen in his face (verse 15). God was watching over His word and blessing it to the salvation of many, including a great company of the priests.

PAGE·EIGHT Some where in holy writ, we have these all inspiring words, which have been the great fever power in lifting many a poor struggling boy to the higher ground and nobler heights. These words which deal with and define faith, have in them a certain stimulus to push onward and upward those who would give them careful study, as perhaps no other words will which are found in the entire good book. These words enable a young man to discover himself and should he fail to make good as a business factor in the world he will have no one to blame but himself. But before I go further in the earnest endeavor to discuss these words, in an attempt to impress you with their significance, as I am impressed, permit me here and now, to quote them: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The young man who has not faith enough in himself to look forward to the time when he, thus careful planning, great energy and hard work, will be in a position to prove to those who sacrificed for his education that they made no mistake by so doing, is, indeed, in a bad way. Every young man and woman should have faith in the men and women of his race who bring to pass things worth while. We are frank to admit that, owing to certain conditions in which we as a race find ourselves surrounded in this country, that it takes great faith for the average young person to come to the realization of the possibilities which we have at our command. As much as we regret to admit it, but in a spirit of fairness to all concerned, we feel called upon to do so here, the failures which so often come in the business lives of so many of our young men nearly everywhere, are due in a large measure to the fact that they do not have the proper faith in their own ability to swing out upon their own initiative to play the business game as they should. When We say game we mean exactly what we say, for in business it is a game, and he who would succeed in it, must enter it to win success by all honorable means. If there was ever a time when one "lucked out" in the world wide game of business, that day has passed. There is but one way for any man or set of men to win out in this great game, and that is by pluck, planning and working. It is, indeed, an awful thing to think of men of the race with fine opportunities for making good as business factors in the community where they live, who allow them to gradually slip from them, all because they failed to have faith in themselves and did not play the game as they should. It is a sad picture to see young men standing around filling away their time without putting forth any kind of effort to make for themselves places in the community where their work and ability will be recognized. Young men of this type are liabilities of the race, rather than assets. One of the main features of the Negro Business League is to assist members of the race every, where, and especially the young men, to really have faith in their own ability to do things like members of other races. We must eat like members of other races, we must wear clothes like members of other races, we must live in houses like people whether we own them or the other fellow; and since these are facts to which we all must admit, then the question which should be uppermost in all of our minds is: why should we not arrange and plan to shape in the profits which accrue from the sale of the things mentioned above? There virgin fields undeveloped, yet, untouched, into which young men of the race with a small amount of capital, great faith in self, backed up with a determination to work, may enter and make for themselves names as well as add something tangible and worth while to the assets of the race, which will be recognized by men everywhere who do things. In this city to-day, there are no less than twenty-five men of other races making their daily rounds as collectors for furniture houses, which sell to our people curtains, carpets, rugs, matting, etc on installment plan and from which sales and collections enormous profits are made, all of which go to people of another race. Come, let us reason together. Is it not a fact the larger amount of money spent every work day in the week for these essentials which we have mentioned above, should be spent, or at least a portion of it, with some furniture concern operated by Negro brain and money? Can it be truthfully said that Negroes will not trade with Negroes? Can a Negro furniture store be successfully operated in Savannah? Can there be found a sufficient number of men who would be willing to back up and finance a small furniture store, provided an honest, experienced furniture man can be found to manage such a project? Is the time ripe for the launching of such a business in this community? These questions are submitted to the readers of our weekly letter for their thoughtful consideration, with the hope that our faith in ourselves may be so strengthened until we will say to that high mountain of difficulty, "be thou removed" and walk straight to it and begin to use our energy, strength and time upon the task until it is removed. This is the kind of faith that the Negro Business League has in itself, which will meet again on its regular bi-monthly meeting night, Wednesday, March 1st. Come early and bring a friend. ODD FELLOWS CONVENTION NAMES NINE MEMBERS ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS (Continued from Page 1) of the credential committee and the election of the board of directors singularly. The meeting, however, went along harmoniously until a resolution was read which had inserted the names of those who were to compose the board of directors which is to be presented to the Superior Court of Fulton county on Saturday March 4th at Atlanta, and asked to be made receivers of the order's affairs. There were fully 500 persons in attendance at the meeting, but the majority of them were not delegates. Any Odd Fellow who had the pass word was admitted and as there was no boundary line struck in the convention it was hard to tell who were the delegates. There were 281 lodges enrolled by the credential committee and out of this number, according to the report of the stenographer of the meeting, about 150 answered the roll call. The meeting was called to order at 10:15 Tuesday morning and was opened with prayer by Rev. D. W. Cannon of Atlanta. A temporary organization was then perfected with Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of this city as chairman, R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, secretary and J. D. Powell, assistant secretary. A committee on credentials was then appointed, which consisted of C. M. Brinson, E. L. Collier, R. N. Jackson, J. Q. Ellias and J. G. Seward. During the time that the committee on credentials was out, the convention was turned into a covenant meeting and many of the members spoke on the condition of things in the order as they now exist. The important features in the situation were outlined by A. Graves, who was acting according to the advice of the opposition lawyers. Among the things he said which was of interest to the members was that the lodges must send up their endowment money to B. J. Davis, receiver and secretary of the corporation. This statement has placed some of the lodges in a pretty bad predilement, for some of them, since the action of the Sub-Committee of Management, had refused to send up their money. Just what will be the outcome of their refusal to send up their endowment reports cannot at this time be ascertained. After the credential committee reported, the temporary officers were made permanent, after which a resolution was read by A. Graves, which covered every point that was necessary for the calling of the convention. The resolution had embodied the names of those who were to make up the board of directors and it was on a motion to adopt the resolution that the house became noisy. C. A. Clarke of Brunswick at this juncture gained the floor and made the charge that they were attempting to put over a "double-barreled" motion and work the steam roller trick. By the utterance of these remarks, the convention went into an uproar, but matters were soon quieted down and they proceeded to elect the board singularly, instead of collectively, as the motion required. The board of directors elected is as followers: Dr. B. W. S. Daniels and Walter Scott of Savannah, A. Graves and R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, J. C. Styles of Dawson, Rev. Wm. Decker Johnson of Plains, Dr. J. C. Atkinson of Macon J. Q. Elias of Sparta and J. M. Pitts of Brunswick. There was no other business transacted except a resolution that was passed taxing the lodges $2.00 each to defray the expense of the court during the pending case and lawyers' fee. The holding of the convention here this week does not, however, settle the matter of the Odd Fellows of Georgia, and the members throut out the state are eagerly waiting to receive the findings of the court on Next Saturday. The convention adjourned about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

And he would rather go down in defeat any day than to betray a cause. The Republicans of Georgia are not fools. And Messrs. Henry S. Jackson and Roscoe Pickett will find it out ere long. In 1896 the Republicans carried one third of the counties in the state for McKinley; and the recorded vote shows for him nearly seventy thousand. The newspapers came out in extra editions on the day of the election and said probably the whole state would go Republican. Thenceforward to 1908 the party polled a vote ranging from seventy thousand to forty odd thousand in that year for Mr. Taft. In 1912, through the outrageous and disgusting mismanagement of Mr. Jackson's aggregation Mr. Taft received in the whole state the pitiful vote in round numbers of five thousand.
