The VOLUME XXXI BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS IN KANSAS BIG PREPARATION BEING MADE FOR CONVENTION All Allied Bodies of the League to Meet At Same Time Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 3.—Arrangements are practically completed for the reception and entertainment of the National Negro Business League which is to meet here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16, 17, and 18, of this month. The business and professional men of the city have enlisted in a mighty effort to make this year one long to be remembered by those who visit here in August. When it is remembered that several of the most important organizations of Negroes in the country are to gather here, the desire of the citizens of Kansas City to accord a welcome worthy of their city is easily understood. There is to meet in the Mid-Western City during the month of August, the Missouri state grand lodge of Masons, the National Medical Association, the National Alliance of Postal Employees, and the National Negro Business League with its affiliated bodies—the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, the National Negro Insurance Association, the National Negro Retail Merchants' Association and the National Negro Bar Association. These organizations represent the more prominent of the business and professional activities of the race. Those who compose them are men and women who are intellectual and economic leaders in their several communities—men and women who occupy foremost places in the thought and achievement of the race. The gatherings therefore promise to be high in character and rich in information. Kansas City boasts a large Negro population. In all the city's activities the colored people share. They enjoy exceptional educational facilities and are prosperous in many lines of commercial enterprise. They have been making plans for many months to receive the delegates of the organizations referred to above, and those who visit Kansas City during August may be assured that nothing will be left undone to make their stay thoroughly enjoyable. A banquet to the officers and delegates of the Business League, and an automobile ride thru the city's parks and over its boulevards are amon g the entertainment features assured the visitors. Arrangements are being made to care for the delegates in the homes of the representative people of Kansas City. Occupying a conspicuous place in the plans of those who are arranging for these meetings is the coming session of the National Medical Association. The arrival of delegates who plan to attended this meeting is awaited with eager expectation. A certain sense of pride is manifested in being host to such a learned body as this association of learned men, along with the organization of business men. The same high degree of interest which always makes these sessions well attended will characterize the meeting of the National Medical Association this year. The program being arrange will contain many features of peculiar significance to the medical fraternity. Live subjects immediately associated with the every-day habits of the race will be discussed. Men who are experts in their chosen lines will direct these discussions. Individuals of high standing in their profession will be present. It will be an occasion from which no Negro Physician can afford to absent himself. The officers of the National Negro Business League invite every Negro physician, surgeon, pharmacist and dentist to join with its delegates in making up special parties for the trip. Delegates going to the Business League sessions are already making plans to take advantage of the comfortable accommodations which the railroads have offered, announcement of which has been printed in the public press. According to these plans the various delegations from the several states and sections of the country will meet at St. Louis, Mo., the morning of Aug. 15, and leave from that point over the Missouri Pacific Railroad at 9 o'clock. At St. Louis a special Negro Business League train will be made up of the various Pullman cars which bring the delegates to St. Louis. Delegates intending to be present during the sessions of the National Negro Business League are urged to SAVANNAH FUEL AND SUPPLY COMPANY A New Business Venture by Members of the Race Elsewhere in this issue of The Tribune will be found articles of incorporation of the Savannah Fuel and Supply Company, a new business venture about to be launched by members of the race. The incorporators are F. D. Tucker, cashier of the Mechanics Bank, and local attorney-at-law. S. A. Grant, professor of English and Pedagogy at the Ga. State College and W. P. Tucker, assistant professor of English at the Ga. State College, three young Savannahans whose public spirit eduess and genuine interest in those things that pertain to the welfare of the race and community at large, give them a guarantee of the support of the people of Savannah in their new venture. The Tribune, long since dubbed the "Daddy of Negro Business Enterprises" heartily welcomes these young men in the field of business. As has been said recently, the time is ripe in Savannah for the launching of first Negro business enterprises. Negroes now as never before are giving support and encouragement to the business enterprises launched among them by their people. This is very evident and is largely due to the superb personnel of the men of the race who are now conducting places of business for and among us. Every new racial business venture means additional employment for our people. This is as it should be and deserves the approval of every man or woman who has one drop of Negro blood coursing within him. The Tribune is intimately acquainted with each of these gentlemen behind the new venture and knows of their worth. They are entitled to a rich and deserves success. Located as they will be in a convenient place, with a full supply of wood, coal, etc., we are indeed confident of their success. The Tribune welcomes these gentlemen in the business field and wishes for them all the good things that come to those who are deserving. MRS. MARY W. LONG RESIGNS FROM CHARITY HOSPITAL After nearly nine years of hard and faithful service, Mrs. Mary W. Long severed her connection with Charity Hospital as its head nurse on July 31st. Mrs. Long's resignation was accepted with a great deal of regret by the hospital authorities, as she has made an enviable reputation during her stay at the institution for her ability as a nurse, her unfailing kindness, both with patrons and patients and her helpfulness to the pupil nurses. In Mrs. Long's departure the hospital loses an efficient and capable head-nurse, whose place will be hard to fill. On the day of her departure she was presented with a gold bar pin by the hospital staff as a slight token of appreciation of her work with them. Her work is being carried on by Mrs. Aleathea Saulters, who was trained by her.

It will be a notable demonstration of Negro Business success when these breezy Oklahoma homans roll into Kansas City in their own motor cars. News From The Nation's Capitol COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS MEET IN BALTIMORE Change Looked for in Asst. Superintendency of Schools Washington, D. C., Aug. 3-The biennial session of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs is to meet in Baltimore, August 6 to 10, and the indications point to a record breaking attendance from all over the country. The proceedings will be of a highly interesting character and will be conducted by Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president of the federation. She will be assisted by some of the ablest women of the land. The sessions will be held in the palatial Bethel A. M. E. Church. The district federaton, led by the energetic Miss-Marle A. D. Madre, president, will do its full duty in augmenting the helpful host at Baltimore next week. A song service last Sunday-at the Y. M. C. A., under the auspices of Miss Madre, drew out a big audience, despite the heat, and the deepest interest in the cause was manifest. Music was rendered by the E. Azalia Hackley Chorus, of which Mr. James H. Marshall is president, and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelhamis director. This chorus is giving a series of musicals for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm and raising funds to assist in defraying the expense of carrying a monster delegation to the general convention. It is estimated that upward of one hundred women will be in the district delegation, besides the many that will go over to the Monumental City as visitors. A mass meeting to further advance the cause was held Thursday evening at Union Wesley A. M. D. Zion church, 23d street. Among the speakers were Mrs. L. N. Ross, the founder and honorary president of the District Federation; Miss Marie A. D. Madre, the official head today, succeeding Mrs. Ross as president; Mrs. Georgia Miller, Miss Mabel A. N.

COMPANY HOLDS MEETING Reports of Secretary and Treasurer Show sAssets of $11,000.00 The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Commonwealth Loan and Reality Company was held on Monday night of this week. Seventy-five percent of the stockholders were present. The reports of the secretary and treasurer have been the cause of much favorable comment. The public in general may be a little surprised at the showing made when it is considered that the men who organized the company are only known along the ordinary walks of life. The report shows $18 as a starting point two years ago and $11,000 assests at this report. This will prove that any set of men with ordinary intelligence who are willing to act honestly and stick close to business rules can do much along business lines. The real estate business in its corporative form is a new venture for our people, and the report of the Commonwealth shows a part of the possibilities. The officers of this company deserve much comment for the business like manner in which they handle the affairs of the company, especially Mr. H. T. Singleton, the secretary, who has conducted the affairs of the company from its organization up to the present time. SPECIAL NOTICE A meeting of the graduates of Beach Institute will be held in the chapel Monday afternoon. August 7, at 5 o'clock. Please bring advanced dues. Judge Chas. E. Hughes, was notified last Monday of his nomination as a candidate for the presidency by the Republican party. His speech was well received and favorably commented upon by all who heard it. Following are some of the comments of members of Congress: Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania—I read Mr. Hughes' speech carefully. It is a strong, dignified and complete arrangement of the weakness of the administration, and it generally outlines the campaign. Mr. Hughes has made a good beginning. Senator Weeks, Massachusetts—I think it is a comprehensive statement of the issue of the campaign presented in Mr. Hughes's best style. Senator Harding, Ohio—It is a splendid amplification of the Republican platform. It is a strong utterance, and will have a tremendous influence in the campaign. It covers the whole ground so thoroughly that it could hardly have been improved. Senator Borah of Idaho—A comprehensive and well considered utterance. But after all the real issues of the campaign have not yet appered. When the extravagance of this administration is known to the voters it will be of tremendous interest to them. Representative Mann, Illinois—It is a great speech, right to the point and is a winner. Representative Britt, North Carolina—A masterly, strong speech, definite and sound. It meets the issue plainly and leaves no one to doubt as to what the candidate stands for. Representative Mondel, Wyoming—I think it an exceptionally strong, forceful and clear statement of the issue of the campaign. Mr. Hughes puts special emphasis on the repeated blunders of the administration's foreign policy. Representative Cannon, Illinois—I think it is O. K., so far as I read the abstracts from it in the morning papers, and I presume they are correct. It is unanswerable. Representative Darrow, Pennsylvania—Fine. It certainly hits the right spots. I thought it very strong and altogether a fine speech. GARND CHAPTER O. E. S. TO CONVENE AT VALOSTA The eighteenth annual communication of the Grand Chapter, O. E.

FEARING SCARCITY OF NEGRO LABOR MAYOR CALLS CONFERENCE OF NEGRO CITIZENS Thousands of Negro Laborers Leave For the North Following the departure Monday night of about 1,200 Negro laborers for the north where they will be employed in railroad construction work, the Mayor called for a conference with representative Negro citizens last Tuesday noon at the city hall. The committee was composed of about thirty of the leading Negroes of the city, and the labor situation here was thoroughly reviewed. The mayor expressed his opinion on the matter, telling of the shortage of labor since the exodus of so many laborers for the north and decried the fact that locan concerns' would be crippled by the loss of desirable laborers. He also spoke of the climatic disadvantages which Negro laborers would find in the north, saying that the weather here was more conducive to the good health of the Negro while in the nort they where very susceptible to contract tuberculosis owing to the severe winters. The members of the committee, however, did not take the same view of the situation as did the mayor. They were unable to see where there is any scarcity of labor, but, on the other hand, they pointed out that there were hundreds of Negroes here who were idle on account of their inability to secure work. The committee also took occasion to speak of the miserably low wages paid laborers here, stating that they were the lowest paid any where in the state. The committee also told of the effort being made to supplant Negro artisans in many lines of work by white men and how, on account of the activity of a certain white minister of the city along this line, hundreds of Negro brickmasous carpenters and laborers had been thrown out of work. The committee took the ground that the exodus of the thirty-five hundred Negroes from this sedition was beneficial and that in view of the over-supply of laborers here they could not advise against the departure of them. The committee said that they felt that such conferences were helpful and that they would be pleased to consult with the mayor from time to time on matters which concerned the Negroes. In order to prove their assertion that there was still an over-supply of laborers here, the committee said that they would be able to supply all the laborers wanted if the mayor would advise the Negro Business League of any demand for labor. Following the agitation of the supposed scarcity of labor, the city council passed on Wednesday an ordinance prohibiting the activity of any one in the city, employed by or working in the interest of the labor agents who desire local labor to go out side of the state. The spokesmen for the committee which met with the mayor were Mr. J. C. Lindsay, Mr. J. H. Kinckle, Rev. T. J. Goodall, Mr. A. B. Singfiold, Mr. W. S. Scott, Rev. R. H. Singleton, Rev. W. L. Cash, Prof. L. B. Thompson and a Tribune representative. BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS AUDITED The auditors of the Grand Chapter, O. E. S., were in the city on Tuesday last to audit the office of the Royal Grand Secretary, Mrs. Mary L. Ayers. They found every thing in good shape with an increase in every department. The members of the auditing board are Miss Bessie E. Foster and Rev. A. B. Stalling of Waycross. The following ladies have been appointed by the Sunshine and Willing Workers of the Urban League to solicit donations for the annual old folks picnic to be given at Cattle Park, August 9th. Any amount given will be greatly appreciated by the league: Mrs. Emma Dennis, Mrs. Singleton, Mrs. Rebecca S. Taylor, Mrs. Laura Fields, Mrs. Sarah Wright, Mrs. Lucy Newson, Mrs. Sarah Robinson, Mrs. Henrietta Deas, Mrs. Celestine, Anderson, Mrs. Lee Gilmore, Mrs. Ellen Spencer, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Ellen Richardson, Miss Ada Scott, Mrs. Rachel Moore Chairman, Miss Julla C. Woedruff, and Miss Ruth Robinson. PAGE TWO The Vogue Of The Cotton Frock On the Summer Roofs, It Frequently Takes the Place of the Evening PASTEL SILADES FAVORED New York, July 28—The New York roof gardens, afternoons and evenings, display most charmingly the present vogue of summer cottons. Earlier in the season, when the popularit of silk for blouses and frocks was commented upon because, owing to conditions abroad, cotton was going to waste, it was predicted that cotton and lingerie frocks would take first place for midsummer wear, and the prophecy has come true. The dainty cotton frock is worn both for afternoon and for evening. Dainty Voiles on an Evening Roof On one of the most conservative of roof gardens, at the dinner hour an evening or so ago, the absence of the typical evening gown was very notice- © MCCALL Purple and White Striped Voile able. In its place the sheer cotton afternoon dress was worn. These as a rule are very simply cut and made. Often a bordered material will be developed into one of the be-ruffled frocks of the moment, with no trimmings aside from its own border, which is used for collar, cuffs, sash ends and to edge the ruffles and flounces. The finish at the upper edge of the skirt is a detail which goes far toward making the dress attractive. With the striped materials especially, it is true. The upper edge of the skirt may be finished with tiny plents which extend a bit above the narrow belt of the same material, or a narrow band of black or brightly colored faille or gros-grain ribbon. These pleated skirts when striped materials are used, are often pleated so that one stripe overlaps the other, presenting one solid shade on the outside of the skirt, effectively relieved by the shade beneath, with every movement of the wearer. One of the daintiest of the cotton frocks worn at dinner this same evening; was a pale green organdy. Another, was a soft gray voile, with a Russian blouse of gray Georgette belted and trimmed with silver. The various shades of green and gray are favored in these cotton dresses, as well as the other pastel shades, soft tones of blue, pink pretty striped volle frock in lavender and white, was made with white Georgette vest and sleeves, and a white leather belt. Tiny pockets and fine tucks made the skirt interesting. Yoked effects are also good, and another frock in stripes, noticed the same evening, was fashioned of an awning striped sheer linen, with deep yoke, sleeves, and sash of plain white. While both of these frocks were unusually simple, they were perfectly appropriate, owing to the weather, which was very warm. Unusual Freedom Shown in Dress While a few years ago, we should perhaps have frowned upon these simple cottons and the great vogue of bright colors now favored in the sports clothes, at the present moment we find them perfectly appropriate and becoming, not at all a breach of taste. First of all, comfort and simplicity go hand in in hand, and along with our other emencipated ideas, we have come to the point where we dare to assert ourselves in the the matter of dress instead of following blindly as we have done for ages. The bright-colored sports clothes, which are dally becoming more popular, are very becoming and youthful; there is life and spirit in the bright greens, oranges, blues and purples, which are used in the skirts, coats and hats composing nine out of ten of the costumes dotting the gray sands of the beaches and the soft.green sward of the country clubs, and since we have had the courage to adopt them we are not going to give them up by any means. © MOCALL A Smart Yoked Frock The sports cloth idea promises to be one of the strongest notes of early fall, and in all probability sports clothes as we know them at the moment, will have a permanent place in the American woman's wardrobe. Wide, Drooping Brims on Mid-Summer Hafs The wide, soft-brimmed, Bankok, Wen-chow, Panama, Leghorn, hair or hemp hats, with just a suggestion of trimming, are the favored hats of the moment. These may be worn with sports clothes, and quite as effectively with lingerie and soft silk frocks. The fabrics, cretonne, and the various striped canvas weaves, are liked for sports wear, combined with harmonizing coats and skirts. SOUTH END CONFERENCE MET AT VALDOSTA, The South End of the Waycross District held its sixteenth annual session of the district conference Sunday school and Epworth League convention in Trinity M. E. Church, Valdosta, July 19-23. Rev. W. H. Brown, presiding. Wednesday morning after a service of song and prayer, holy communion was administered by Rev. W. H. Brown, assisted by Rev. W. H. Ollum. Next in order gas the organization. The report of the district superintendent proved that the work of the district had been carried on with great care. The reports from the different pastors showed much success and an increase in the work, Scott's Chapel, Blackshear, being the only charge that had paid the district superintendent in full. The conference was graced with the presence of Drs. H. A. King, president of Clark University, who on Friday night preached an eloquent sermon. The welcome address in behalf of Trinity M. E. Church was read by Miss Willma Gimes; in behalf of the C. M. E. church by Mrs. Isabella McCoy. Mrs. Mary E. Dent, conference president of the Women's Home Missionary Society, was present and gave a spirited address on the importance of more missionary zeal. The entertaining pastor, Rev. W. R. Dixon, and the loyal people of Valdo-ta, spared no palms in arranging every comfort for the conference. On Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, love feast was held; at 11 o'clock Rev. J. W. Brown of the Waycross station preached and at 3 o'clock Rev. E. T. Michel of Cordele preached and at 8 p. m., Rev. W. H. Odum of Blackshear delivered the sermon to a very large audience. All the sermons were masterly, efforts and proved an inspiration to all present. The amount raised for all purposes was $42.32. On Friday evening at G o'clock Mr. and Mrs. H. L. White of Valdosta, Ga. entertained delightfully at their beautiful home on Magnolia street. Those present were Mrs. M. E. Dent of Brunswick, Mrs. Porter, Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Odum, Mrs. Minnie V. Jackson, Mrs. F. R. Marshall, Miss Margaret Richardson and Mr. S. L. White, all of Blackshear. * * * On Sunday evening at 6 o'clock Mrs. J. T. Cooper entertained at her home. Those present were Rev.

Jackson, Mrs. F. R. Marshall of Blackshear. The pastor and representatives of Scott's Chapel who attended the dis- trict conference at Valdosta have returned and report a glowing conference session. Those in attendance were Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Qdum, Mrs. M. V. Jackson, Mrs. F. R. Marshall, Miss Margaret Richardson, Mr. J. L. White, Mr. J. W. Fisher, Jr., and Mr. Turner Iryin. BASEBALL DOPE The Adelphias shut the Urban League out on last Monday. For an all-round back stop, Catcher Shedrick of the Adelphias is the best in the league. The Eurekas and Piney Wood palyed a fine game on last Saturday. What was the matter with Sapp. He must have gone to sleep at the switch, for he failed to score from second on a single Saturday. Carl Albert of the Urban League is back in the game. Where did the Urban League get West, who covered the initial sack on Monday. Gee Wizz! Giddens of the Home Boys has left town. Wonder if they'll miss him. The Eureka team is now in second place and it is going to be a hard job to get them out. What do you think of a score 23-3? Well it happened Wednesday when the Eurekas romped away with the Roosters. --- Hampton of the Piney Wood struck out 17 men and gave up 5 hits in the 11 inning game Saturday against the Eurekas. That's pitching 'em some—the strike-out record of the season. The Eureka team has been strengthened considerably with "Tutt" Bailey on first base and Eugene Howell on third. "Lamb" is what they call him. Well, he pulled off a lovely bone-head play at second for the Piney Wood. He lost the game too. There is no taking it back, Pitcher Johnson of the Eureka team is there with the goods. Was it a fair or foul ball that "Lamb" Williams of the Piney Wood knocked into left field Saturday? Umpire Warner called it foul. Well, excuse him, he's getting old now and can't——. --- Walter Jackson brought down a nice one in left field Saturday. Just like him though. Have you ever noticed how Eugene Howell's red (devil) uniform fits him? You shouldn't miss the double header Monday, the Eurekas and Home Boys. Ladies free. Manager Frasier's Roosters have all gone to be picked. There is not a fan who knows Henry Howell, the congenial manager of the Eureka team, who does not regret his accident in Wednesday's game. Howell received a broken finder which will put him out of business for the balance of the season. Witness the double header Monday between the Eurekas and the Home Boys. Game called at 3:30 o'clock. Don't look for the box score of Wednesday's game, it wont be found. The departure of a number of men for the north has crippled several of the teams. ```markdown ``` The league has lost its best all-round player in Howell, and his baseball judgment on the diamond will be greatly missed by the Eureka team. INSTALLATION The Ladies' Progressive Association held their annual installation Wednesday evening July 12th, at the home of Mrs. Frances Mason, 150S Reynolds street. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with ferns and potted plants. Rev. E. L. Martin was the principal speaker. His subject was social upMft and was indeed inspiring. A splendid program was rendered, consisting of solos, duets and remarks from guests. The officers were installed by Rev. Martin and are Mrs. E. R. Dennis, president; Mrs. Carrie Heyward, vice-president; Mrs. Frances Mason, secretary; Mrs. Sarah Nelson, treasurer; Mrs. Jennie Stewart, chairman of finance; Mrs. Elizabeth O'Nell, chairman of sick; Mrs. Rosa Moton, chaplain; Mrs. Gertrude Brinson, clerk of order. SUMMER SCHOOL I have opened a summer school at St., Augustine hall, corner Bolton and West Bread streets, to help children who are behind in their school work and to assist those who are ambitious to do advanced work. ROBT. W. GADSDEN Principal East Broad St. School THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE The spirit of preparedness is taking a firm hold upon all classes in Congress and out, and many speeches are heard these days by Senators, Representatives, members of National Service and Defense Leagues and private citizens, in urgency of military training for the youth of the land, white and colored alike. In keeping with this plan of individual preparedness, a strong sentiment is said to be observable in Congress looking to the establishment of a military training department at Howard University with a special appropriation for its equipment and maintenance, together with the detail of a regular army officer as instructor. The idea is growing in popularity, and may take definite form at any moment. The feasibility of the innovation here is rendered strong by the fact that Wilberforce University has such a department and has proven to be a big success. Yes, why not a military training department at Howard University? NOTICE. At 314 Duffy street, east, between Lincoln and Habersham streets, Mrs. A. E. Orner will conduct a summer school for conditioned pupils and left overs. Special attention given to grammar and arithmetic.

Lindsay There are many reasons why the Negro in this country should encourage the men and women of their own race engaged in business by giving them a fair share of their trade. For the most part when members of the race withhold their support and encouragement from their own kith and kin, it is due to the fact that they have not taken the time to think. No thinking Negro man or woman, for one moment, could be induced to walk by one of their own struggling brothers or sisters, who are striving with might and main to make a name for themselves and the race, in the matter of building up racial enterprises, which give employment to young men and women, such as clerks, book-keepers, insurance collectors, typewriters, printers, typesetters, linotype manipulators and a thousand and one other paying, as well as pleasant positions made possible by the business man and women of the race, if they were all made to see the real and permanent harm they were doing the race by this kind of thing. Saying things which would cause our people to think, is what the Negro Business League regards its real duty, as an organization for permanent racial uplift. Our people must learn to think as well as act. It is said of us by some of our critics, that one of our peculiar characteristics as a race, is to act now, and do our thinking after a while. This is an awful indictment to be preferred against us as a race. It is up to us to prove to the world beyond cevil, that we, like other people and races, are thinking helpfully with reference to our people, from moral, business, religions, as well as from any other standpoint. No man has a right to quarrel with the other fellow, who makes it his business to see to it that his own has a first claim upon what he has to hand out in the way of jobs and remunerative considerations. While it is a fact that many of our efforts, as a race have been misdirected, due largely to a former condition over which we had no control, and too, because certain unscrupulous grafters and politicians saw it to be to their advantage to play upon our prejudice and ignorance, that their selfish ends might be furthered, we, for the most part, have made wonderful progress along many lines of racial uplift. It is indeed, a strange thing to hear a member of the race say, as we have heard them say: "I would trade or do business with members of my own race, but they don't treat me right." It is an open secret, that members of the race who are engaged in business ANNUAL SE THE IST CONVE KANSAS CITY, MO. to Monday, September 1 BE GRANTED ON ALL RAILROADS, B OF THE MISSISSIPPI. Homes, care of Rev. J. W. Hurse, D. D., is entitled to representation in this meet as future generations. Come where pur- as "little unknown Baptists." There will organization will be arranged by the people do more for those who trade with them than the other fellow. And why? The keen witted Negro business man or woman has long since come to the conclusion, that to get and hold the Negro's trade, he or she who does it, must break down the barrlers of prejudice and suspicion which the politician and grafter have worked so hard and long to build up against members of the race engaged in business. The Negro Business League does not charge that all members of other races are against the business success of its race, nor does it hold that all members of its own race are desirous of the permanent and lasting success of the race. But it does hold that if the members of the race would do more thinking before acting, that the men and women among us engaged in business would certainly have a different story to tell. It is indeed an inspiration to the thoughtful men and women of the race, to see the great throng of young men and young women as they make their way to a few of the Negro owned office buildings along West Broad street every work day in the week. For example: In the Wage Earners Bank Building, 107 men and women go in and out daily, as officers, agents, clerks, book-keepers, etc. In the williams' building, at 509 West Broad street, 69 persons are housed and engaged in gainful occupations. At 468 West Broad street, 45 young men and young women of the race are employed every day in the year. At the Savannah Pharmacy building, 14 doctors, lawyers, bankers and other members of the race who are looking ahead work daily. The Tribune building at 1009 West broad street, in which is operated the second linotype machine, by Negroes in this state, shelters every work day in the year, S happy and intelligent young men, the editor-in-chief and tile printers devil included. Mark you, these 204 persons as mentioned above as employees and workers with office and headquarters in the five office buildings as named, do not by any means represent all of the working forces of Negroes by Negroes in the city of Savannah. These buildings mentioned above are in a stretch of only five city blocks along West Broad street. We have made no attempt at all to mention the scores and hundreds of men and women who are furnished daily employment by our various workers, such as contractors, feed store man, dry goods men, undertakers, greeters, clerks in offices of our physicians, mattress masters and a number of others which time and space forbids that we should mention here; but suffice it to say, that it is certainly inspiring to see all of these Negroes given such prifitable employment by Negroes. Come early to your next meeting, which will be held at headquarters, Friday evening, August 18th and bring a friend with you and join in and be a booster and throw away your little broken up hatchet, before you mash your finger with it. "MODEL" DRY COUNTY Chicago, Ill.—For many years prohibition speakers throughout the country have pointed to White county, Ill., as a "Model prohibition county." White county was held up as an example for other counties to emulate. Now comes the Illinois state board of health with a report of conditions in White county that has shocked all of the drys in the middle west. Complaints reached the board of health that tuberculosis had reached the proportion of an epidemic in White county and an officer was sent to that section to investigate. The report of the representative of the board of health shows that not only is tuberculosis alarmingly prevalent in White county, but there are other contagious and infectious diseases; that the moral tone of the county is at low ebb; that the inhabitants are deficient in education; that many families related by blood and intermarried; that the crop of imbeciles and cripples is large; that blind tigers are numerous; that the health of many of the women has been wrecked by the indiscriminate use of patent medicines and other nostrums; and that radical steps are necessary by the health authorities to reform conditions. White county has lost the "White ribbon" and there is a grief in the Anti-Saloon League camp. PROHIBITION AND DRUGS Denver, Col.—In an interview in the Denver, Col., "Post", the Right Rev. C. H. Brant, Episcopal bishop of Manilla, said recently: 'In the Southern States, where prohibition has become almost universal, the increase in the sale of drugs per capita is greater than the increase in population. The legitimate amount of opium calculated as absolutely necessary for medical and commercial purposes for one year's consumption is 60,000 pounds. Last year over 480,000 pounds were brought into the United States through the customs house. This, of course, does not include that vast amount that is smuggled over the borders. The use of opium, cocaine and other such drugs is, I regret to say, largely on the increase all over the United States, especially in localities where the sale of liquor is prohibited. The pure food laws have done good work regarding the sale of patent medicines, but the drug store has taken the place of the saloon in many of our cities where the sale of liquor is not permitted." 3 Latest Books by the Great Negro Preacher and Novelist, Dr. Thos.

HUGHES of New York For Vice-President CHARLES W. FAREANKS Of Ohio Ament the treatment of Negro troops in the service of the United States' the following clipping from the editorial columns of the New York World strikes straight from the shoulder. Another point that the National Guard will have to meet when this Mexican crisis is over is that relating to the social status of the colored regiments. The Eighth Illinois, which is of African descent, did not find the hospitality in San Antonio saloons to which they had been accustomed in Chicago, and it required a volley or two from a detachment of regulars to quiet the controversy that resulted. Wherever the fault may have been, the episode is only one of many indicating that in military policy as in common respect for the uniform this Nation has much to learn from Great Britain and France, in whose armies colored men meet no discrimination at the rear or at the front. The recent agitation caused by the departure of several thousand Negro laborers for the north has been receiving much publicity in the columns of the daily papers and has resulted in an ordinance being passed by council prohibiting labor agents here from sending laborers outside of the state. The mayor and the city council seem to fear a shortage of Negro labor, yet we cannot see. In face of the hundred of idle Negroes walking the streets, even after the departure of twelve hundred men sent last Monday night to the railroads of the north, where this scarcity comes in. Even since this big exodus of laborers hundreds of Negroes who have not been able to secure work, have been seeking an opportunity to be transported to other fields where they may secure work in view of their inability to find profitable employment here. The cry of a shortage of labor is indeed inconsistent with the actual conditions existing here. Instead of a scarcity of labor just the reverse is the case as is very perceptibly shown by the hundreds of Negroes walking the streets in search of work. The work offered Negroes by the Northern roads we look upon as a sort of providential relief to the over-supply of working men here who are unable to secure work, and instead of decrying the departure of the men who left this week it would be a benefit if the number were just twice as large. Wages for labor here are at the lowest possible figures, in fact, they are at the starvation point, and until there is a rise in the measly remuneration now parceled out to them for their day's work, they will welcome and accept any opportunity to go elsewhere to work where they can better their conditions. The committee of representative Negroes who were called into conference with the Mayor concerning the labor question here, took the proper stand when they refused to advise against the departure of workers for other fields, in view of the scarcity of work here and the prevailing low wages paid.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE BROTHERHOOD TO HAVE LECTURE ON INFANTILE PARALYSIS AT CHURCH The Brotherhood of the Second Baptist church held its regular meeting after the morning services Sunday July 16th. Prof Kennedy was to have delivered an address to the brotherhood but was unavoidably detained elsewhere. Dr. Pinckney addressed the audience on "Christian Service" which proved to be a very interesting talk. At this meeting the brotherhood voted to have an auxiliary, Mrs. A. E. Cooper being appointed to organize the ladies. On the first Sunday in the month the ladies will go into permanent organization. The program of the brotherhood for the month of August is indeed an interesting one. The first Sunday a lecture by Dr. Dinckney on "Infantile Paralysis," after morning services. This should be of interest to all colored Savannahians having children because the disease usually plays havoc among those who know less of the rules of hygiene. On August 14th at 8 p.m. Rev. T. L. Jones, dean of Voorhees Normal and Industrial Institute, Denmark, S. C., will deliver a fine lecture under the auspices of the Brotherhood on "The building of a community." Following that on the third Sunday, the Brotherhood will have a grand organ recital. All of the entertainments will be free. The public is cordially invited. MEMORIAL In sad but loving memory of our dear husband and father, Shem B. Cooper, Sr. Just three months ago, sweet one, since you left us. We often think of ycu, for memory is the only friend that grief can call its own. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so our aching hearts yearn for you. Again we'll greet you where parting will be no more. Bereaved family Janie Cooper and Children In sail but loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Rebecca Brown, who departed this life August 5, 1915. Yes, she is gone, our dear mother Our he rts are bruised and torn; Dark the night through which we are passing, Hard the sorrows to be borne. Gone to rest our precious mother, Never more we'll see her face; 'Till we meet her up in heaven, In a happy dwelling' place. When we reach that golden shore, Of a city bright and fair; There we'll meet our dear mother And she'll welcome us up there. Sweetly resting, asleep in Jesus, Thy sweet face on earth we'll see no more; But we hope one day to meet thee, On that happy peaceful shore. How we miss her with aching hearts time alone can tell; And her space at home is vacant, But O! how sad to say farewell. Daughters, Mrs. Mary E. Jones Mrs. Charles Litta Harden Hallman In memory of my dear sister, Ludiskar Gordon, who departed this life August 7, 1913. Just three years ago dear sister you left a vacant chair in our home which no one else can fill. Dear sister is gone to join the angels above and leave us all alone. Since you have left me and gone to bloom above a gentle hand unseen by us has plucked our sweetest bud. You are gone but not forgotten nor will you ever be, as long as life and memory last we will remember thee. Sister and daughter, Mrs. Addrianna Boyd Mrs. Alethia Coston.

Overleaping all the boundaries of selfishness and exclusiveness; overruling all social and class distinctions, breaking down all the partitions of bigotry and intolerance, it unites in common work and common object the good and true of all pursuits, opinlons and languages. The lodge can never become the exclusive creature of any social, political or religious class or sect, because it is the joint possession of the best representatives of all classes and conditions. Here upon the level—the symbol of equality—the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the titled prince and sturdy yeoman, forget all differences of rank and station, unite the best endeavors for the highest good of each and all. Here the best representatives of the various church creeds, and the most diverse theological sentiments stand side by side without a single test between them. Here the leaders of opposite parties and rival factions forget their intrigues and catching the spirit of loyal sympathy and philanthropy breathed from every lesson of the order, their hearts are melted into responsive love and fraternal peace. Here nobility of birth and blood is surprised by that higher nobility which is disposition and life. Here the crown of royalty and the secretre of authority belong to those most distinguished the virtue and honor. Here all languages are melted into words and symbols conveying the same meaning to all minds and hearing the same significance in all circles. Of course it is not assumed that these noble and honorable aims are never lost sight of by persons who have sought and obtained the fellowship of the order. Bad men sometimes conceal their selfish designs so skillfully that the closest scrutiny may fall to unmask them. We have nothing to offer in the shape of benefits, either social or pecuniary. While we rejoice when good men and true men of their own free will, seek admission that their lives may become imbued with Masonle Light and Truth and Love, ours is no selfish brotherhood, for the Masonle heart is as large as the requirement of mankind. The globes on the brazen pillars are indicative of the universality of a Mason's charity. Whenever there is need, wherever the helping hand is required, of the word of sympathy to be spoken, there our charity extends, the word is said. These are the landmarks of the brotherhood.—Selected. . . . "Masonry teaches men to practice charity and benevolence, to protect chastity, to respect the ties of blood and friendship, to adopt the principles and revere the ordinances of religion, to assist the feeble, guide the blind, raise up the down trodden, shelter the orphan, guard the altar, support the goverment, inculcate mortality, promote learning, love man, fear God, implore His mercy and hope for happiness. --- Masonic Duty In his annual address to the grand lodge of Alabama, Lawrence H. Lee, grand master, spoke as follows: "The bond of union which secures this permanency in so large a body of men, united in a common cause—men different in nationality, religion, occupation, social and financial standing ought to elicit more than a mere passing interest. "It was upon precisely this idea of our ideal republic that Washington and his associates (all of them Masons), founded our government. Perhaps no better Masonic document was ever penned than the Declaration of Independence and the Federal Constitution. "Here, then, exists an ideal republic within that conglomerate mass constituting a nation, composed of a body of men representing equity, fraternity and equality. A living germ within an outer structure, numbering between two and three million men. Hence arises an important question. Has this body of men, so constituted, so endowed and so prepared for the duties of citizenship no function, office or duty to the community, on the part of the institution they constitute and represent? The answer is found in the distinction existing between our ideal republic and the real republic we call our common, country. Here no one is admitted, unless after careful examination he is found worthy and qualified to assume, and willing to discharge all the obligations necessary to secure fraternal union and permanency. In the real republic no such requisition is made or seems possible. There men clamor for their rights and habitually disregard their THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE but today the citizenship added to an million of the revengeful and clerical. It is time, awake to the importance and misuse (which Ma. the competence of tongues present real re- should carry economic and principles and conforms to hold do more influences to an ideal reality and fragrance, vice, and strife.

"Not only is this true, but today the irresponsible part of the citizenship of this republic is being added to annually by more than a million of the ignorant, oppressed and revengeful victims of the aristocracy and clericalism of the old world. It is time, therefore, that we were awake to the meaning and transcendent importance of the existence, maintenance and mission of this ideal republic (which Masonry is) in the midst of the competition, strife and confusion of tongues which constitute our present real republic. "If every one of us should carry into the world of politics, economic and citizenship outside, the principles and usages he recognizes and conforms to in the lodge, Masonry could do more than all other combined influences to convert our country into an ideal republic, where justice, equity and fraternity would replace ignorance, vice, poverty, injustice, bitterness and strife. "If the institution has no higher mission than to increase its membership, initiate its candidates and simply exist; if it can secure a full attendance of members only by a banquet or a frolie, it must and should fall to pieces from sheer inattention." He who wants to be good sees the shadow of evil before him. There is but one safe road; shun "the appearance of evil" and the light of divine truth will be your guide; following that guide you will fear no evil.—Masonite Light.
