The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI 2,000 LABORERS DISAPPOINTED 2,000 LABORERS DISAPPOINTED REMAINED SEVERAL DAYS AT FOUR MILE CROSSING Labor Trains Stopped Hundreds of Women Among Those Wishing to get Work in the North The two trains which it was rumored throughout the city would leave here Monday loaded with laborers for work in the north did not materialize and by their failure to go the hopes of over two thousand able bodied men who were ready to chance their luck in other fields were blighted. So wide spread was the rumor and so eager were the men to get off that thousands of them started for the mobilization point, four miles on the Augusta road, Sunday night and early Monday morning there was a sufficient number present to fill a train of fifteen coaches By ten o'clock Monday morning it seemed that every hacking car in the city was traversing the road between West Broad street and the four mile point and as each car would unload the already large and anxious crowd resting along the railroad tracks was increased by others of the expectant sojourners for the north and hastened back to town for another load. This was kept up by the driver until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when thousands of persons were on the scene. The crowd was stretched up and down the cross tracks for a distance of about a half mile and as each north bound train approached a mighty yell went up from the two thousand old men and women who were expecting to go to the north where they would find employment at a figure two times that which they are getting here for their day's labor. There were men there who lads up in the crowds and there were lads in the crowd who were not far from the knee breeches age, yet they all intent upon going and waited patiently for the two labor trains that they were told by their friends would take them north free of charge. Women were there, too, all ready to board the train and go with it wherever it was bound. There were about five hundred of them, some old, some young and some even with nursing babies in their arms. The rumor had spread throughout the city that they too were to be taken and many of them disposed of all they possessed with the exception of the things necessary for the trip. Many of them even sold their furniture and gave up their homes. Stretched along the tracks under the watchful eyes of their owners were trunks, grips of every description and even baby carriages. Spectators to the number of about four thousand were there viewing the expectant travelers and wishing them good luck. About 5 o'clock the county police, augmented by a detachment of city officers, appeared on the scene and attempted to clear the tracks, but the crowd was too large and finally the officers found their task impossible for as they would clear one section of the tracks the crowd would serge to another. The crowd was extremely orderly and good natured and the two arrests that were made were for minor offenses. Night came on and still the crowd lingered around. Everybody was asking everybody else if the train was coming. No one seemed to have any definite knowledge about the matter yet for fear the much sought for two trains might come up all of the two thousand old persons wishing to leave these scenes stood around wistfully looking at one another. By midnight, the spectators had all left for their homes while the erstwhile travelers made their beds on mother earth around the mobilization point lest perchance they should miss the chance to depart for the north. The early morning hours found them still here and yet no train. Near 7 o'clock about fifty of the crowd returned to the city, being worn out by their night's experiences. These, it developed, returned on hearing that the trains would leave Tuesday afternoon and by five o'clock a crowd fully as large as that of the previous day was at hand. Tuesday night at ten o'clock the crowd got weary and gave up in disgust, all coming to town save about a hundred of the more persistent ones who still felt within themselves that the opportunity would still come when they might depart for the north. These, too, however, gave up at night fall and ambled back to the city four miles away. A Tribune representative wishing to ascertain the truth of the situation, approached several of the railroad officials Wednesday and was told that there would be no further deportation of laborers over their lines from this point. Many of the men who were waiting at the four mile hill for transportation north, were from neighboring cities. Some of these men have returned home while others are in the city. 一 Not to be entirely disappointed in their desire to go north; over three hundred of the men paid their own fares and are now across the Mason and Dixon line where they will find employment at wages that will enable them to realize much more than the average dollar and twenty-five cents paid there. It developed that there was no one THE RAILWAY Crowd waiting at 4 mile hill for the departure of the two labor trains for the North. There were fully six Thousand persons stretched up and down the tracks for a radius of a half mile when Photographer Johnston snapped this view. This is but one of the many pictures of the crowd taken by him. Photograph by J. W. Johnston J. H. Butler Charged With Deporting Labor SEVENTEEN COLLEGE BOYS DE- DETAINED AS WITNESSES Case Dismissed by Recorder Next Morning Charged with violating the city and state law in sending labor out of the state J. H. Butler, manager of The Savannah Tribune, gave hound Friday afternoon of last week for $1,500 to appear in court next morning. At the same time of his arrest, seventeen college boys who were waiting at the New York steamer's dock ready to sail were apprehended by the city detectives and held at the barracks as witnesses. The arrests were the outcome of the labor agitation which has arisen here this summer caused by the departure of about 3,500 laborers for the north. Immediately following the first deportation of laborers about four weeks ago, Editor Johnson of The Tribune upon noting the great opposition the city authorities were manifesting toward the movement, obtained an opinion of Asst. City Attorney Atkinson on the matter and was advised by him that the forwarding of students from this port to the tobacco fields of Connecticut did not in any way conflict with the labor laws of the city or state. The students being sent up by Mr. Butler were signed up for the work in Connecticut by the home office in New York of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The twenty-five hundred students needed for this work during the summer were to be sent from Norfolk, Va., and this port and the Urban Leagues of both Norfolk and Savannah were asked to cooperate with the New York League in sending up these students. Editor Johnson as head of the local league appointed Assistant Secretary Butler of the league to take charge of the forwarding of the boys who were assigned to go by way of this port and approximately three hundred boys were handled by him prior to last week. About three weeks ago Mayor Pierpont sent city detectives to investigate the activities of Mr. Butler in the labor movements. They were told by him that only students were being forwarded and that his services were given to the work without remuneration, and that the work in Connecticut was only temporary. The detectives were also told of the opinion of the assistant city attorney in the matter. Nothing was heard of the affair until Friday afternoon when Chief Detective Murphy called on Mr. Butler at The Tribune office about two hours before a crowd of forty-five boys were to sell for New York. Twenty six of the boys had boarded the steamer before the detectives arrived there to arrest the crowd as witnesses in the case. However, seventeen of them, who arrived at the steamer about three o'clock, were taken into custody and lodged in Jail to appear at the hearing the next morning. Of the boys arrested three of them were from Payne College, Augusta, eleven from colleges in South Carolina and two from Atlanta schools With the 'exception of the Payne college boys who were taken out on bond furnished by Mr. Paul Edw. Perry, the boys were all held in Jail until the next morning. The recorder dismissed the case the next morning after hearing the evidence of one of the student witnesses and the statement of Mr. Butler. On Monday the seventeen boys retained here by the unpleasant and uncalled for incident, augmented by ten others, sailed for New York. responsible for the crowd's gathering at the four mile polar on Monday and Tuesday, the men and women simply going out there with a hope that labor trains would leave there since they had left on the two Mondays prior when fully twenty-five hundred men were taken to Pennsylvania.

TAKEN FROM TRAINS Wholesale Arrests to Stop Immigration of Negroes to North Americus, Ga. Aug. 16—Almost half a hundred Negroes were arrested at an early hour this morning as they started on their journey to cities in the north and east, where they had been promised work. Armed with state warrants charging misdemeanors, a formidable array of policemen and deputy sheriffs, accompanied by Solicitor Zack Childs, brought the Negroes back to this city, where they will be held pending legal operations to stop the wholesale emigration of laborers from this section. The officers got wind of the fact that a large number of Negroes from this city and vicinity would entrain on the 2:30 a. m. for Savannah en route to Northern and Eastern points, and realizing that the continued exodus of Negro labor is bringing about a serious condition of affairs among the farmers of this territory, they determined to end the practice if possible. Sheriff Harvey, Deputy Sheriff Bob Price, Policemen Lowery, Summerford, Ribsby, Chalkley and Sollector Zack Childs all battled the 2:30 train with warrants in their possession? The Negroes holding 'transportation' for the north also climbed aboard, and not until the train was speeding toward Leslie did the officers begin their operations. By authority of the John D. Warrants, the officers took into custody all Negroes bound for the north and, detained with them at Leslie, where automobiles were in waiting to bring them back to Americas with their prisoners.

RACE FOR PENNANT BETWEEN ADELPHIAS AND EUREKAS Savannah Home Boys and Urban Lea League Fall Lower The race for the pennant in the Negro Social Club Baseball League which closes at Athletic Park on Labor day seems to be between the Adelphias and Eureka Avith the Piney Wood close on their heels. The winning of Monday's game by the Piney Wood ties them for second place, with bright chances of slipping up a peg on the Roosters Monday. The struggle will come off Wednesday between the Adelphias and Eurekas. Should the Eurekas be lucky enough to take the game it will tie them for first place in the meantime the Adelphias are going to fight hard to retain its leadership. The Home Boys fell before the Piney Wook on last Monday, the score being 3-2. The battery for the Home Boys were Graham and Adams and for the Piney Wood. Nixon and Warner. On Wednesday the Roosters defeated the Urban League in the last inning by a score of 11-10. The game went seven innings and the League boys things in their favor up to the final inning when their opponents started a batting rally and walked home with the victory. The battery for the Roosters, was Graham and Pinckney, for the Urban League Thomas and Warner. On next Monday the Piney Wood and Roosters will meet and on Wednesday the Adelphias and Eurekas.

NUMBER 41 VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL TAX VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL TAX FAILURE OF ELECTION MEANS CLOSING OF SCHOOLS Election Wednesday Every Voter Interested in Advancement of City Should Cast Vote For Tax Next Wednesday the voters of Chatham county will be given an opportunity of saying whether or not he wishes the public schools to be open this fall, for if the election called by the ordinary for the special school tax should fall to carry it would mean that thousands of school children of the poor will have to run wild in the streets during the nine months that they should be in school. It will require a two third vote of the registered voters to assure the opening of the schools this year and every voter failing to cast his ballot, whose name appears on the list, will be counted as disapproving of the tax and be considered as opposed to the opening of the schools. The situation is a very serious one and while it is thought that they will be no trouble in getting the required two-third vote, yet it is imperative that every voter be at the polls Wednesday morning and voice his sentiments in favor of the election by casting his ballot for the special tax. There are approximately 500 Negroes who are eligible for the election and it is very necessary that every one of the half thousand go down on record as favoring the school tax. The election should vitally concern them and the poor white man for it is their children who will suffer if the schools are not open and not the children of the rich and well-to-do. ODD FELLOWS B. M. C. The Old Felows B. M. C. of America meets in Washington, D. C.; on the 11th of next month. There is not as much interest manifested in this meeting by the local lodges of the order as has been in previous years. Many of the lodges and househouses have failed to elect delegates—and the outlook is that a small delegation will go up. The committee in charge of the state delegation has selected the Southern railroad as the official route. The fare from Savannah will be $19.85 and the tickets limited to September 20th. INTEREST BEING QUICKENED IN Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING FUND Ladies Auxiliary to Play Base Ball It is indeed gratifying to note that the interest in the Y. M. C. A. campaign is beginning to increase. Subscribers to the fund are paying the amounts pledged and it is hoped by the management to have enough funds in hand within the next few weeks to make a substantial payment on the property decided upon. Encouraging too is the new interest being shown by the members of the ladies' auxiliary.

The ladies who will take part are arranging to appear in suitable costumes prepared to put up baseball in packages of the real article.

PAGE TWO This Is The Season For Silk Frocks They Fill Many a Gap When Summer Cottons Show Signs of Wear TAFFETAS AMONG THE MOST POPULAR New York, August 11.—No doubt most of us are beginning to feel that our summer wardrobes are beginning to look a little the worse for wear. It is invariably the case when August comes. The dainty volles and organdles that were so crisp and fresh at the beginning of June and July when we started the season with them, are looking limp and faded since they have been pressed into service through the warm weather. O. MCCALL While it may seem rather late in the season to start getting new summer things, just now the stores are full of wonderful bargains in dainty summer frocks, and this is the opportunity for those who have to be economical. Lovely dresses and blouses in volles, linens, crepes and other sheer fabrics can be picked up for a song, as the saying goes, and it is well worth getting them for the remainder of the season. But you will make no mistake in having one of the simple silk dresses that are so much in vogue. They are wonderful for filling in gaps between the seasons—and not only that, they are going to be very good for fill. They will be quite comfortable with a top coat, if the weather demands it, or with a fur cap or scarf. The warm weather has not at all dampened the enthusiasm for fur, capes and scarfs. It is such a common sight to see them worn on days when the mercury rises to great heights that one almost feels that one has been laboring under a delusion all along to believe that fur could be anything but cool! Taffeta the Leading Silk By far the most popular silks for dresses just now are the taffetas. They are especially smart in self tones and in the many striped, checked and blocked effects seen. Navy blue and © MCCALL Ribbon a Fashionable Trimming the rich dark tones predominate. In some very striking designs both checks and stripes are combined. Following closely in the lead of taffeta are messaline, faille, figured and dotted foulard, crepe de chine, silk volle, chiffon crepe and Georgette crepe. The two illustrations shown here are typical of the simplicity of the present styles. The dress of checked taffeta has a gored skirt with panel front and back, and of course, it would not be complete without the large patch pockets on either side of the front, for pockets are as popular as ever in spite of their having been in fashion so long. In the waist, the panel gradually tapers toward the neck, where it is met by a collar of Georgette crepe, which ripples at the back though the front is quite flat. Chiffon, net or organdy is often substituted for Georgette crepe in fashning collars for this type of dress. The only trimming in this model is seen in the buttons on either side of the panel. The color harmonizes with the dress. That the vogue for combining plain and figured materials has not by any means diminished, is shown in the dress of plain and figured foulard recently seen on teh avenue. It is trimmed with ribbon arranged in bands on the under skirt and cuffs, and in plaiting which finishes the neck and hem. Note the gathered pockets and the straight tunic plaited at the top. These are two prominent style features of the season. This model is one which at first sight may seem intricate, but on closer inspection one discovers that the novel toucheu which make is so chic, in reality, easily carried out. Parasols and Spot Globes At all fashionable resorts, parasols of bright hues and fancy shapes are strongly in evidence. They are in all colors, both in self tones and in effective combinations of two harmonizing colors. One of the novelties which has been taken up in the Japanese parasol with its many colorings harmoniously blended. Sport clothes continue to be largely featured. The craze for silk sweaters keep steady on the increase. Gold, bright green, purple, blue, old rose and gray are among the most favored colors. The sweater as a rule, is in some gray color and hats and stockings to match enchance the charm of this much-favored costume. Smocks and middy blouses are now made not only of linens and heavy cottons, but are very frequently developed in taffeta and crepe de chine, also silk and wool jersey cloth. The smock of taffeta worn with a jersey skirt is one of the latest combinations. BASEBALL DOPE What's the matter? Seems like Warner has lost his job. The league is using another umpire now. They call him "Poor Boy." Though the teams are badly crippled, Monday's game between the Home Boys and Piney Wood was pretty closely played. Mal Bryan is using some of the boys at Wayne-boro this week. The Roosters beat the Urban League in the last inning Wednesday. Next Wednesday ought to be a good game between the league leaders and the Eurekas. Scorer Middleton was off the job Wednesday. Well, he doesn't get—— Who is leading the league now in batting? It's hard to tell. Manager Collins was not with his boys Monday when they lost. The league closes Labor Day. The fight from now to the end of the season will be between the Adelphias and the Eurekas. AMONG THE MASONS Noble Lives No lives can be nobler than those spent for the uplifting of mankind. For them there is no death. Could that radiant glow of joy and happiness which they have poured into the dark and desolate homes of the distressed be reflected upon their death beds, we could see them pass from this life to that of the realms above in a halo of heavenly glory. The voices that, thru such a noble life, have been whispering words of cheer and encouragement to the sorrowful may be silent; the hands that patiently and mercifully have administered to the weak and suffering may be folded in the embrace of death; but life itself and the memory of their deeds will live forever! Know Thyself Have you made a personal application of the above sentence lately from a Masonic standpoint? Have you examined every action of your life to see if you are groung in Masonry, or are you just floating along with the tide, without chart or compass or any particular point in view? If so, you are a drone in the hive, and will surely be stung to death by an outrageous conscious when the day of retribution comes and it will "some sweet day." Craftsmen who are slow in discerning their own faults are quick in discovering errors in others. In lodge they reflect every flaw and forget to be brotherly. They criticize harshly and unjustly, and think more of letter than the soul of Masonry. They see not as theylare seen, and would be surprised if fittingly reprimanded. To soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries and restore peace to their troubled minds, is the grand aim we have in view. Let us remember the brother who has been striken with illness, carry to him a sympathetic spirit, and a cheerful smile, and fill his sick room with heaven's refreshing smiles (flowers), and far as in our power help him bear his suffering—Queensland Freemason. --- Perhaps one of the best answers to the alleged Godlessness of Freemasonry is the fact that fully 30,000 ministers of the Gospel in America are members of the craft. Only One Freemasonry While there are many religions, there is but one Freemasonry. And while we would not be understood as en- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE devaroring to elevate Freemasonry above christianity, we offer no apology for saying that, while religion has caused many tears of sorrow to flow, made millions of widows and orphans, imprisoned disbelievers, tortured them upon rack, and burned them at the stake; has devastated cities and swept them from the face of the earth, desolated lands and blotted out nations, Masonry has done none of these things. Freemasonry has no armies, no navies, no arsenals, and no magazines, nor implements of war or death. On the contrary, if all men were good and true Masons there would be no wars. Its sons are the hosts of peace; its aims, good deeds; its banner, Love, and its countersign and battlecry, "Peace and good will upon earth."—Selected. If Masonry is in your heart, you will be a moral temperate and prudent man, keeping a guard over your lips and actions. You will abhor profanity and intemperance, and reprove those thoughts in Masonry who may be guilty of them. You will be affable and courteous, treating all good Masons as your equals, paying due respect to those in office, regarding the opinions and making allowance for the prejudices of every place you visit.—Victorian Freemason. The Strength of Masonry The most hardened pessimist in the fraternity cannot but see the enormous potentialities of Masonry. In its teaching it touches the very vitals of the most absorbing questions upon which mankind has ever speculated, the relation of man to God, the relation of man to himself. These questions are all touched upon in the great teachings of Masonry, although the thousands receive the degrees who never realize that they are even approached. From the standpoint of the individual, then, Masonry contains the pabulum for his growth and development to a degree unguessed by most of us. From the standpoint of society, Masonry presents an organization dedicated to the uplift of the human race, which in numbers, in personel and in social influence is unsurpassed. Where it has been allowed to show its influence the result has been instantaneous and powerful. Then it is not true that we are wasting our strength?—Selected. It is the light of Masonry that the candidate is seeking for, and it is only by a study of the teachings of Masonry through his brain that Masonic love of God, his neighbor and himself is possible. . . . Masonry is one and the same everywhere, but its standing and efficiency differ greatly. It is the same institution, having the same noble history, sublime principles, and lofty purposes. It differs not in itself, but in its representatives. Last moonlight ride of season Monday night Sept. 11th. AMUSEMENT COLUMN --- NOTICE—Articles in this column two cents a word, payable in advance.

HONOR SYSTEM FOR ·DELINQUENT GIRLS The following method of treating girls at a reformatory is de scribed in an article in the August Southern Workman on the -Industrial Home School for Colored Girls in Hanover county, Va. "The marking system is used, and when girl succeeds in making an average of ninety-eight per cent for two months in succession she is allowed to wear a white waste on special occasions. When she succeeds in making an average of ninety-eight per cent for three months in succession she is allowed to wear a white dress to evening prayers and other special occasions. She is known as an honor girl. After she has worn a white dress three months, making an average of ninety-eighth percent, she is given a blue band which is worn on the left arm. An additional blue band is given for every three months that she keeps her good record. When she has received four blue bands she is ready to be paroled. "No girl can wear a white dress or waist who cannot launder it well. When an honor girl fails to keep to the standard she has to go back to the uniform, but she is given a chance to start all over again and work for the white waist and dress. "The honor girls sleep in honor rooms, sit at the honor table in the dining-room and have privileges that the other girls don't have, which make the girls work all the harder to belong to the honor class."

TELEPHONE 850 BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUBS FOR NEGRO CHILDREN Office of Information, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. C.—To help Negro boys become practical farmers, and to assist Negro girls in becoming competent housewives, the United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the state colleges, is organizing throughout the south, Farm'Makers' Clubs for rural Negro children. THE SAVANNAH TIMELINE Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Mississippi. The work also is being carried on to some extent in each of the other southern states. The chief object of these clubs is to encourage Negro farmers, particularly in the cotton sections, to raise some food instead of devoting their entire attention to a single crop. In the clubs for boys, the typical plan is to encourage and help the members to use an acre, one half of which is devoted to corn, one-fourth to potatoes, and one-fourth to peanuts. This teaches a desirable rotation, and at the same time furnishes three food products for human consumption, and two that are useful for cattle or hogs. The girl members of these clubs receive practical instructions in gardening, canning, cooking and housekeeping.

After the seventh of November they will continue es- plaining how they were »o badly de- feated. plese ee ee feated. ‘The sermon on, Sunday night de livered by Rev. J. A. Martin, anent the recent detention of students, was point- ed and commendable, Jlegal and un- called for actions mst ‘be resented in an effective manner. For the past several weeks crowds of men ‘and women from other places have been coming here seeking em- plerment in the north. Hundreds of them are here now without any means ‘of support, and others are coming oc- easionally. The Tribune advises these people to either stay at home or go di- rect north. By sach large numbers coming here will make conditions de- plorable, and will do themselves no good, All lovers of liberty will stand abash at the action of the sberiff and his dep- uties at Americus in attempting to keep Americans from leaving that lo- cality. in order to secure work to better their condition. It is a great reminder of the day of slavery and other countries where free actious are prohibited. The main cause of the present unrest smong the laboring Glass of our people can be rightly traced to such actions as enacted in Americus during the week. Advantage was tak- en ot those men, und some of them should have bad sufficient pluck to resint the arrest and seek redress. Meventeen Negro school boys arrested and held over night in the city barracks simply because they were seeking lu- erative work in northern fields, is the pitiable plight in which the students who arrived here last week to sail for the tobacco fields of Connecticut found themselves. The boys had committed no offense whatever against the city of Savannah or the state of Georgia and every one of them carried a contract for work in the north, signed several months‘ago with the Urban League of New York, It is true that they were not held under any charges but were simply detained as witnesses, yet they were kept all night in anSunfit little room hn the guardhouse and cansed to endure the indignities of the ordinary prisoner and forced to await the sall- ing of the next steamer, three days later. It was a needless detention of the boys and was evitlently done’ to inconvenience and intimidate them. But such action by the city police de- partment will not stop the deportation of labor from this port. It was ian ifetly an effort to scare the hoys and prevent others who might he going north by way of this port from show- ing up. The boys arrested were a very intellixent. likely looking crowd and their apprekension by the city au- thorities simply because they were passing through the city en route to jnerative employment fields of the north ix resented by every well thinking Ne- gre citizen here. “We wonder what stem would Chief Detective Murphy and’ his associates take to stop a sim- Har movement of white students. It is just such treatment as this which is inducing Negro lubor to ¢o to other fields whenever the opportunity pre- sents itself, and until the south learns how to handle the labor situation fairly and to treat Negroes as if they are Thnman beings and not chattel, the de- parture of labor for northern fields ix xoinz to continue, The voters of Chatham county will have an apportunity nest Wednewday to say whether or not the public schools are to open this fall. If the special The voters of Chatham county will have an appdrtunity next Wednevday te say whether or not the public schools are to open this fall. If the special election, called by the ordinary for a special tax carries it means that the Schools will bein as usual in Ogtober but if it fails, then the thoncadds of children who are making good and useful citizens of themselves through the training given during the nine months of the school year: will be locked out of thelr school houses for at least twelxe months. The school problem confronting the citizens {s {n- deed a very grave one and one which we cannot, afford to treat lightly. It is either that the school tax election must pass or we shall have to forezo for a period of one year that most cherished privilege of ‘all in civilized communities, that of sending our child- ren to school. Time 4s precious, es pecially to the poor man, and | his children can ill afford to miss 2 whole year's schooling. .Tt therefore behooves us to rally our forces and go to the polls on nest Wednesday and to the man yote for the reopening of our schools. We cannot spaye, our cotgreg out of school for ieee must go ‘for’ ward and properly ‘equip themselves 11 school for the battles of life which comfront them, We cannot afford’ to be apathetic in this matter, It js face to face up to us to view the sit- uation as ft really is and say by our affirmative yotes that we do not wish the progress of our children im- peded by a twelve, or even one, month ‘closing of the school term. The issué fs Plain, ft is elther schools or no schools.‘ ‘Phere is no midway ground and we as progressive citizens cannot for one moment afford to wince at a situation which is of so much vital importance to the whole community “nu which means so much to our cbild- ren. ‘The fight for the school tax is directly upon the poor man, white and black, To him the private schools of the city are a luxury which his child: ren cannot enjoy because of a lack of means, but to the rich and well-to-do it matters ttle whether or not the public schools open October first for there are: ample school ‘facilitiés for their children, in the private institu: tious of the’ city where the matfer of tuition will be a mere trifle. The problem is largely that of the Negro and the poor white man and as men vit- ‘ally interésted in the ‘welfare ‘of thelr children every one of them who Is elt- ‘gible .to vote should present: himself at the polls Wednesday morning early aud bast his ballot In favor of the ‘speclal school tax.

Stearns. L Paul is now on his third and last anissionary tour. As be returned from bis Zecond tour he left at Ephesus his two! Nubw “workers, Priscilla ‘abd Aquila; whom he bad brought’ with him from Corinth. ‘7s thei proceeded to Jernsalem “ana _.tmoe “to “Antloch, whete"tie remained Sor série’ tthe be- fore‘starting on thts last tour (vill, 18-23). We cannot think of him tarry- ‘ing ‘anywhere without selzing “every oportunity to speak’ of Jesus Christ and.His sufferings and glory. Having passed through Galatia and Phrygid. nourishing atid strengthening the dis- ‘ciples with bread from heaven, he came again to Ephesus (xix, 1). Dur- ing his absence Priscilla and Aquila had been busy at something more than tent making, for a Jew from Alex- andria, eloquent and mighty in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus, and because of the fire that was in him he spoke boldly in the synagogue and taught diligently the things of the Lord, but he did not know of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. ‘These two faithful ones expounded the Scriptures more fully to bim concerning some things, and then he felt led to go to Corinth and was commended to the disciples there, whom he was able to help much, and he mightily convinced the Jews, from the Scriptures, that Jesus is the Christ (xvii, 2428), There is many a Priscilla who 1s quallfed to instruct more fully many an Apollos, but the latter are not always'as teach- able as this one seems, to have been. ‘The crown of glory is a special reward for those who feed others with living bread, ahd it 1s not eloquence that is needed, but just a willingness to re- ceive the message from the Lord and deliver it in His name, as the disciples received the bread from the Lord's? hands when the 5,000 were fed ‘and passed on to the people what they re- ceived from Him. They neither made St, nor bought it, nor increased it, nor in any way improved upon it, ‘but were simply channels or messengers be- tween Him and the people. Our Lord Himself only said what Wis Father told Him to say, as He has told us in John xil, 49, 50, and thus He honored His Father, and the Father wrought through Him. 3 ‘This gives no opportunity to stow what we know or what we can’ do. and is therefore very bumiliating,to the pride of man, and many will not submit to tt. But there is no other -way by which we can be true messen- gers of God. If the message is ours He will not assume any responsibility concerning it, but if it {s His message He will see that His purpose and pleasure are accomplished by it (Isa. ly, 11). When Paul came to Ephesus Apollos had gone to Corinth, and Paul began to inquire as to what the bellev- ers knew of the Holy Spirit, and, see- ing thelr ignorance in this matter, he taught them more perfectly and be- came God's channel to them of the gift of the Spirit, eo that they apake with torigues and prophesied (xix, 2-7). Every true believer is a femple of the Holy Spirit, and when any one ‘re- ceives the Lord Jesus the Spirit takes up His abode in that person, but there is a difference between being indwelt by the Spirit and filled with the Spirit @ohn xiv, 17; I Cor. vi, 19, 20; Acts il, 4). The Spiritvabldes in the belfever, and we cannot pray, as David did, “Take not Thy Moly Spirit from me” Ps, Ul, 11), but we may be filled and refilled as the need arises for special service. For three months Paul spake in the synagogue at Ephesus, boldly disput- ing and persuading’ concerning tho Lord Jesus and the kingdom of God, and when opposition drove him out he continued in the school of Tyrannus for two years or more until all in the province of Asia (where he was for- bidden to speak on his*second tour, as in xvi, G) heard the word of the Lord. Jesus. Some very special miracles ‘Were also wrought by the Lord through Paul (xix, 19).

We wish to express our gratitude for their splendid response, and ask for continued co-operation in making a success of the plans for the coming year. Our plans include a list of very interesting and comprehensive subjects. Every year we are forcibly convinced that, most of the sorrow, most of the poverty, most of the domestic troubles, most of all human wrecks and ruin is the result of the lack of knowledge of the vital principles and functions of life, presented at the time in our lives when we feel the need of them the most. It is our desire and prayer that this committee will get the co-operation of every unselfish person who is willing to do more effective work for the upliftment of our boys and girls, and that we may be one of the factors to brighten and broaden their lives.

Carr and Styles Avenue (Near Waterworks) SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IX.—Third Quarter, For Aug.27,1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xx, 16-27. Memory Verse, 24—Golden Text, Acts xx, 32—Commentary Prepared, by Rev. D. M. Stearns. After the uproar of Ephesus, Paul bade, an affectionate farewell to the disciples there, and crossed over to Macedonia, whither Timothy, and Erastus, had preceded him (xx, 22; xx, 1). After comforting the disciples, probably in all places where he had preached the word, he and his party recrossed to Troas, where he first heard the call to Macedonia. He had carried three months in Greece, and now they abode seven days at Troas (xx, 2-6; xv1, 8, 9). There they had an all night preaching service, at which one young man who sat in a window slept so soundly that he fell out from the third story and was killed, but the Lord restored him through Paul, and all were comforted. Paul must have been full to overflowing with messages which he felt would be his last to them (xx, 7-12, 25). While all the party went by ship to Assos, Paul walked across-country to meet them there (verse 13). While fellowship with the brethren is often refreshing, there is nothing so grand as to be alone with God, and this lonely walk would give Paul opportunity for the communion he desired. Paul desired, if possible, to be at Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost, so instead, of visiting Ephesus again he sent for the elders of the church there to meet him at Milletus, and the principal part of our lesson today is the record of his farewell address to them (verses 14-17). He reminded them that for three years he had faithfully testified to Jews and Greeks repentance toward God and and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, testifying the gospel of the grace of God and preaching the kingdom of God (verses 21, 24, 25). These are the truths which all need to know, and there is nothing so grand to tell as the grace of God which bringeth salvation to all and justifies freely all who truly receive him (Rom. iii, 24; Eph. ii, 8; Tit. ii, 11; iii, 4-7). Since all are guilty before God and the righteousness which He requires no mortal man has nor can obtain by his own efforts it is surely good news that God has provided this perfect righteousness in Christ Jesus and offers it freely to every peppent sinner (Rom. ill, 19; II Cor. v, 21; I Cor. i, 30; Rom. x, 4). Humility becomes us always, for we are nothing and know nothing and can do nothing apart from Him, and there is no room for boasting except in the Lord. If we realized how great is the wrath from which we have been delivered and which still rests upon and awaits those who are not saved there might be more prevailing tears on our part for lost ones about us (verse 10; I Thess. i, 10; John ill, 30). Then there is the building up or edifying of the saluts so necessary for the glorifying of God on the part of His saved ones (verse 32), and nothing can do this but the word of God, which is the only food for the soul (John xvil, 17; Jer. xv, 10). Paul could say what many an preacher cannot say: "I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you. * * * I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God" (verses 20, 27). Although it is written that "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable," that there is a special blessing upon all who read or hear the book of Revelation, that our Lord said that it was foolish not to give heed to all that the prophets had said (II Tim. ill, 16; Rev. i, 3; Luke, xxiv, 25), yet there are those who turn away from all prophecy and specially from the book of Revelation and encourage others to do so. Such would do well to consider what is written of those who feed themselves instead of the flock and are called wolves, thieves, robbers, hirelings (verses 29, 30; Ezek. xxxiv; John x). Paul was always speaking of the kingdom of God, as was also our Lord Jesus (verse 25; xxvill, 23, 31; Matt. iv, 23; Acts 1, 3), but of all Bible topics perhaps none is more misunderstood than that of the kingdom, which is yet to be set up on this earth at the second coming of our Lord and which cannot be till He shall come, as He Himself taught (Luke xix, 11-13). Will all who read these notes please bear with me in my oft repeated assertion that this is not the age of world conversion nor of subduing all things to Christ? But, as James said at the council at Jerusalem, it is the time of taking out from the gentiles a people for His name, that so He may come again with His church, His bride, as the Messiah of Israel for their conversion as a nation, and then through them the winning of all nations (xv, 13-18). The only business of believers is to give the good news to others as quickly as possible that the church may be completed—cause all Jews and gentiles to hear, as Paul did in Asia (xlx, 10), then instruct the saved ones as to the purpose of God, that they may win others, for every sinner saved brings joy in heaven (Luke xv, 7, 10) and helps complete the church. A readiness to earn our own living while doing this, if necessary, would be doing as Paul did (verses 34, 35). He was ready to suffer or be imprisoned or be killed, as God might will, if only he might finish his course with joy and the ministry he had received of the Lord Jesus (verses 22-24; xxl, 13). He desired only the approval of God. Seaboard AirLine Railway Co "The Progressive Railway of the South" $2.50 ROUND TRIP JACKSONVILLE Leave Savannah—3:20 A. M.; 9:10 A. M.; 2:50 P. M.; 3:30 P. M. Ar.

But they can fall out almost to kill and then a little talk with Jesus makes it right. Now you just read this, and then I will tell you more about it: "Birmingham, Ala., July 13.—The Commission appointed by the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church at Louisville, Ky., May 1916 met in Birmingham July 12 to adjust the matter between Dr. J. S. Jackson, former financial secretary and the A. M. E. Zion church. "The entire affair was amicably settled to the satisfaction of all parties concerned: Signed, J. W. Alstock, EL P. Mayo, George C. Clements, W. L. Hamblin." Now this as it stands, may not mean so much to you, but you will remember that there was a lively time in the Zion camp, and at the general conference they did not get to allow the Rev. Dr. Jackson to have a chance of a man accused of murder. In other words they would not hear him. But he said the "truth will get a hearing some day." It did and now they send out that all is well. We congratulate the church and Dr. Jackson upon being able to settle such weighty problems, without any one getting hurt. Of course there was a woman in the final adjustment. Mrs. Pauline H. Jackson is one of the shrewdest business women I have ever met. She took charge of the books, or at least of Dr. Jackson's private papers, and when the matter was called just was there with the documents which had much to do with the getting straight, and I will always take off my hat to that woman, and Dr. Jackson should feel proud that he has such a wife. Now that this matter has been settled in the ranks of the Zions, and all things are moving along smoothly in the A.M.D. church, and they are getting right down to it, and the bishops are now getting ready for their fall conferences. They promise to be great. Rev. Dr. G. W. Porter, who was before the A. M. E. church in Philadelphia for bishop, has since died, and he was buried last week. It is to be regretted. Then there are matters in the Baptist church still hanging fire, and it is as hard to tell just when the cannon will go off, but the big convention will be pulled off in Savannah September 6. It promises to be the greatest convention in its history. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. E. C. Morris last week and he is getting ready. He was working on his address, and from what I could see of it, it will be worth hearing, and will have some good information for the people. Savannah will see our people as it has never seen them before. But you want to know where I have been and what I have been doing, and it will be my duty to tell you as far as possible. You recall I have been to Waco. Texas and I felt like saying some cuss words while there, but that would not be in keeping with my religion and my common sense, so I would not say them, but I thought just a few in my heart. The Lord will forgive me I am sure, and the people will also; since they do not know what I had in mind to say. I had the pleasure of attending the session of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, one of the strongest organization in the south. They have 23,000 of them in Texas alone, and I don't know how many are being hatched in the other states. C. E. W. Day, is the chief grand mentor, and he is just one leader of men. He knows what to say and how to say things, and then the people just love him. C. E. W. Day, and Dr. J. S. S. Jackson go into the hearts of people as no other two men. Before saying more about the Tabors, you put it down in your pipe and smoke it that Dr. J. S. Jackson will be a bishop in his church before he is ready to leave this world, I care not what others may say or do. He has been properly vindicated. Now coming back to Tabor, they are doing the business. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. S. S. Reed, of Marshall, Texas who is some pumkin in the order, then there we find other big men. Dr. H. L. Jackson, is chief grand treasurer, while Prof. Reed is chief grand scribe, who does the writing and keeps the money books. Mrs. M. A. Johnson is the woman on the throne. Dr. H. L. Smith is the man I want to call your attention, to because he handled over two hundred thousand dollars for the order last year and accounted for every penny of it. This is doing some real business. I had the pleasure of meeting the commissioner of education of the A. M. E. church, Prof. A. S. Jackson, who is some man and some educator.

This is the home of Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., president of the National Baptist convention. I enjoyed very much being there and coming in touch with the people of that section of the country. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. A. H. Miller, the wealthiest widow in Arkansas. She is as rich as cream itself, but you would not know it by looking at her. She has spent her life in helping her husband and was considered the business member of the firm. When he died she just took hold and went right on. She devotes her time to collecting her rent. I don't know whether or not she' knows how much money or how many houses she has. She holds about $20,000 worth of mortgage on the Arkansas Baptist college, and is able to let them have that much more and then have plenty money to play on. I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Sutten E. Griggs, secretary of education of the National Baptist Convention; Rev. Joseph A. Booker, secretary of the Home Mission Board of the same convention; Rev. W. II. Moses, of the same, and I met myself. Things are in readiness for the big convention. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is booked to deliver an address at the convention. The people will be there to hear him. He is some speaker. I will tell you more in my next letter. C. J. Hardstew. AMERICA FIRST AND-EFFICIENT A powerful arrangement of the Administration; a faultless and dignified presentation of the argument for the prosecution. Such was the speech of Charles Evans Hughes in which he formally accepted the Republican presidential nomination. "We come to state in a plain and direct manner our faith, our purpose and our pledge" is Mr. Hughes' opening remark. And what follows is plain and direct. No flowery verbosity; no "weasel words" but facts, plainly put and striking home. Not only did Mr. Hughes expose the stick and straw construction of the Democratic party, but he presented a plan for a nobler, more stable structure, founded on "a dominant sense of natural unity" with the Republican party, "the agency of national achievement," as the master builder, and, we are confident, with Mr. Hughes the guardian of the edifice. Mr. Hughes eptonized his desire for American supremacy in a sentence which will be the watchword of his party: "America first and America Efficient." He then outlined the duties of the executive in respect to our foreign relations and instanced how, at the very time when most we needed the services of trained and experienced diplomats they were recalled and the service demoralized by the appointment of tyros whose sole qualification was that they were 'deserving Democrats.' As was anticipated the Mexican policy was Mr. Hughes' chief point of attack. It is the administration's weakest point. It is the perfect type of a vacillation and instability of purpose, exceeded never, equalled, perhaps, but once in our history, and that was when the shiftness of Jefferson and of Madison culminated in the war of 1812. There is not a red-blooded American who can read the Hughes indictment of the administration in regard to Mexico without blushing for the shame which has been put upon this nation. Huerta, recognized by Europe, was denied recognition by us, and then an emissary was sent to treat with him. We demanded a salute from him while denying his leadership, and retired without receiving it, leaving 19 of our dead in Vera Cruz. Denying that we were at war with Mexico, our dead soldiers were praised as having died in a war service. Later it was denied that we went after the salute. It was explained that we went to Mexico to show them we meant business. We labored to get Huerta out of office while England and Germany got our citizens out of peril. On the arms and ammunition embargo the administration changed front five times. We advanced the cause of Villa, then turned on him and recognized Crananza who had refused to attend the conference called by President Wilson, and who has never pretended to maintain orderly government. American citizens have been massacred and American property destroyed, and there is no redress, notwithstanding the Democratic platform declaration of 1912 that the constitutional rights of American citizens should "go with them throughout the world". What a sickening chapter! In the matter of preparedness, Mr. Hughes showed that the administration has followed, not led. Three times has it changed front on its program, and after three years of warning the national guardsmen were called from their peaceful occupations and sent to the border without proper equipment, without necessary supplies, and without suitable conditions of transportation. In his outline for national defense, his proposal for an international tribunal to settle disputes, his demand for the safe-guarding of our economic independence, South, East, North and West, by means of a protective tariff, for the upbuilding of our merchant marine, and for fiscal reform. Mr. Hughes shows a comprehension of our national needs and a breadth of statesmanship which give the country sense confidence in his constructive ability, and which are in striking contrast with the makeshift, anything-toget-the-votes, devices now being put through by the party in power. He outlines conditions which are to be met after the war, and warns us that at present we are living in a fool's paradise, industrially. He stands for adequate federal workmen's compensation laws, and he favors votes for women. The acceptance speech was a model of enlightment, straight-forwardness, and upstanding Americanism, and the public has grown dog-tired of emasculated utterances. Hughes and manhood will win the day.

APPLICATION OF GOLDEN RULE ONLY SOLUTION OF RACE QUESTION Spanking from Matthew 7:12, Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of St. Paul Colored Methodist Church, West Broad street, said, among other things: "This verse offers a solution not only of problems arising between individuals but a solution of problems between races and nations no less involved in this universal proposition. It gives a solution to what some would call a labor question in Georgia and, especially Navannah? I do, not doubt for one moment of this rule had been in the minds of our local authorities that the students of Paine College, August Ga., and those of the different schools in South Carolina would have been arrested and kept in detention or prison one minute for the crime of hunting work on a tobacco farm in some northern or southern state. To do as you would be done by would have prevailed and the police power of the state and city would have said God bless you young Negro men in your hunt for a summer job. Would not this God bless have been said to any class of white young men as students or ditch diggers in hunt of labor whether going from Georgia to Malne or Mexico? Yes, the proud spirit of the American freedom and democracy would have scorned and destroyed any attempt to prevent such travel of a free person. Whatever may be said as to the merit of the state law as regards labor emigration, is not at issue just here, but we wish to urge with all of our souls that the method to have it apply as a hindrance to the students arrested by the Savannah authorities, to our minds, has every sign of an attempt to a reversion of slavery. There could not have been offered a more frightful picture of serfdom in the days of "William the Conqueror" when serfs were bound to the land and their lords. From this condition the proud Anglo-Saxons in those days fuse to cease their practice until King John was made to stand in the now bare footed and graft 'the (Magna Charta) Great Charter. We so well know that among other principles involved was "the right of the individual to move where he wished is a free man to contract to sell his labor in the market of the world to the highest or lowest bidder, as a sacred birth right in a country of freedom." Jesus no doubt reached the highest point just here in mapping out our birthly relation one to another in point o findividual freedom and right treatment one to the other. If the Englishman waded through blood to establish this part of the Golden Rule, Jesus would come to the same through a different method of approach on the high ground of appealing to the hearts of regenerated men and women. This sermon on life in its daily conduct and application in human contact must find an abiding place in the nation, state and cities of this great republic. My heart was made sick to witness such scene as arresting seventeen in- nocent young men whose only crime was attempting to board a ship in search of a summer job. This was especially sickening when we think of Savannah as the oldest city in Georgia supposed to be the fairest of all when it comes to a proper and just enforcement of its rules upon white and colored. Think of any city attempting such tyranny in the face of teaching the theory of the Golden Rule each Sabbath to its thousands of young. Shall the Negro be forced to say that religion is a farce in the hands of our white neighbors because of his too often disregard for the Golden Rule when to him the racial element is involved? Or shall the courageous young men, white and black, rise up and denounce such evil practice in the name of God and humanity? those covet each church a headquarters, Attari Challie Baptist challenger public ad this new of Georgia much more reform as the state money an complish friend of We cannot believe the Godly men can stand such, and here we appeal to them to throw themselves into the harness and preach from the pulpit and pew as well as from the press against such high handed insults and down right impositions against a brother because of a black skin. The New, births and Golden Rule are great failures in so far as humanity is concerned as long as such wanton abuse of legal authority against human rights is permitted. We thus insist that the hemmant of the good give their voice in protest against these sins. The Golden Rule, thank God, finds its application in human affairs here on earth and reminds those who fail to practice it that Jesus is indeed absent from the community which tolerates such false arrests and evil detention of defenseless young men in search of work. We ask the co-operation of all good people in our onward struggle for better things under the application of the Golden Rule. Not necessarily because we are Negroes and because our brothers happen to be white, but rather on the high grounds of righteousness as dictated by the great law of God expressed by Jesus in this sermon on the mount. There are three months left of our conventional year, at the expiration of which we are to assemble at the Springfield Baptist Church, Augusta, Ga., Rev. J. M. Nabrit, pastor. I hope that you are looking forward to that meeting with the same high hope and unshaken confidence that I possess. Already the Baptist of Georgia have won for themselves a praiseworthy record, and I sincerely hope that in Augusta we shall complete the task which shall vindicate our rights to be called the most progressive and aggressive state Baptist convention now operating among Negroes in the United States—in the world for that matter. Let me urge upon every Baptist in Georgia to prove his love for, and loyalty to, his denomination. You will be glad to know that from every section of the state encouraging reports are being received and new assurances are being given which indicate that our convention in Augusta shall break all records. We are asking for an average of 25c per member from every Baptist church in Georgia.

Challenge to Baptist of Georgia. Baptist leaders of Georgia, here is a challenge for you. Some time ago in a public address I asserted that under this new unified system, the Baptist of Georgia would raise and report as much money for mission, education and reform as any other denomination in the state. I said that we have the money and we have the men to accomplish this. After my address a friend of mine who belongs to another denomination ridiculed my assertion declaring that it was far too extravagant for a man of my intelligence. He said it is true that the Baptist have the money but it is not true that we have the men to gather this money for the purposes stated. He said that it is impossible to organize our Baptist leaders so as to have them labor to one common end. That the more prominent men among us, jealous of their personal prominence, cannot be induced to accept the plans of another fearing less by this acceptance they acknowledge the superiority of the proposers of such a plan. That the less prominent among us are not concerned about the well being and prestice of the denomination and are content to live in practical seclusion with the flock that they pastor. I confess that I took the criticism seriously and that I am aglow with the desire and determination to destroy it. The Baptist ministers and laity, I believe, love deeply and are as loyal to their denomination as any people in Georgia. It is true that we have not been as thoroughly organized, but now that we are perfecting our organization, I appeal with all earnestness there is in me to every Baptist in Georgia to rise up in his might and help to establish a record that will be above adverse criticisms from whatever source. We can do it, we ought to do it, and under God I believe we will do it. Let every deacon lend unstinted support to his pastor, and let every member of every church in Georgia prove his indorsement of his pastor and his love and loyalty to his denomination.

NATIONAL EFFICEENCY If national etficieucy depends, not only ‘on national organization and ad- ininistration, but also on the surer foundation of efticiency aud initiative of individual citizenship, then surely industrial education is a great national problem, the importance of which Is as yet only faintly realized. Hamp- ton and Tuskegee are today among the foremost influences in the entire country for the promotion of indus- trial education and efficiency. Said a prominent official of the state of Ala- bama to me a few days ago, “I have no fear that Tuskegee’s work will re- sult in any trouble between the races at present, but as things are going now it will not be long before all of the best mechanics in this vicinity will be found among the colored men, and the white mechanics will find it difficult to get work and may then make trouble between the races,” Naturally I suggested that white boys and girls should have the same training as ts given at Tuskegee, and this must inevitably be the final result of Tus- "kegee’s example and influence. it is good business to encourage and support such work as Hanpton and ‘Tuskegee are doing—good business es- pecially for the South, but good bus!i- ess also for the entire country; for anything which encourages and pro- motes the efficiency, initative, economic independence and happiness of its agricultural and industrial workers, ANGE FO CEng Ss “a tulsa aerate ae“ Yor natlonggs | city.

Students go to the park when hey are tired of play to rest, or’chat, or read.
