Supt. Gibson and all interested in the welfare of the community*ivere very much gratified with the result which assurs the county of no more perplexing situations as faced St this year when, if the vote had not been succersfully carried, there would he no Tunds aynitable far public educa- tion and as a consequence the closing of the schools for at least one year. The carrying of the clection means no additioval tax on the prop ers owners but gives thé board of education authority of levying on the public funds for a sufiicient amount to run the schools. The overwelming vote for the tas was caused largely by the publi. city given the election by the news pa- Pers and the ardent work of the teach. ers, both white “and colored. Supt. Gibson was much pleased with the entire vote ‘and expressed his gratt fication at the large Negro vote. It ig estimated by the lending Negro men who kept tab on the colored vote that out of the five hundred odd Negro vot: ers there were less than a hundred who failed to cast their ballot and that of those voting not one could be found who put in a,negative vote. The col- ored teachers worked feverishly for the election and every Negro voter was collored the day before the elec tion and impressed with the necessity ot appearing at the polls and casting 2 votesin favor of the tax levy. Thelt efforts in stirring up the colored vote were yery noticeable on every side. FRIENDS MAKE MERRY | WS BIRTHDAY - In commemoration of his—birthday, eight of Prof, S. A.

G. Lemon. Over 500 children rere Dresent at the opening festivities and there las been an attendance of over 200 every afternoon this week. In fact, the grounds have proven so attractive to the youngsters that the paraphernalia installed has been found far too Umited -and those in charge have been put to thelr wits’ end to provide for all the chfldren, While the grounds were fitted up primary for the eastside children yet youngsters from the extreme west side of the city not having any, such provision made for them, have flocked over to the grounds and the spot takes more the appearance of a general municipal playground than one pro- yided for only the east-siders. The League, however, contemplates opening in the near future, a similar play- ground on the west side. 7 Searcely had the -opening festivities been compreted when the hundreds of boys and girls waiting around iching to try out the new swings, sea saws, sand beds and various courts ran over one another for the first opportunity of ‘chrisfening” as they put it, the first playground -In this elty installed for Negro children. AM the afternoon the kids enjoyed themselves first at this sport and then at that, and it was way atter dark when the director and his assistants had started homeward the last crowd of tired It hanpy little players. Director Temon bas placed Miss Helen Lee in charge of the grounds and up to yesterday afternoon she had enrolled over two hundred children as permanent members of the various clubs being organized.

In both of these there is much to attract the attention of those on the lookout for new ideas in dress. A visit to the best shop shows many distinct styles on display. What is really most striking is the number of one-piece frocks and the large variety of them. Some are of serge and light woolen, others are of satin or silk, ac © MCCALL Showing New Arrangement of Gathers cordage to the requirements of the women who must have her wardrobe stocked with a dress for every occasion. In dark dresses, the navy blue serge is to be worn on again. Women never seem to die of it, for it has so many qualities which make it good to give up, and no manufactory substitute has ever been found for it. White serges there are also, and they are truly fascinating. Sleeves are long and some collars are high, though the becoming sailor collar is still retained in many models. The skirts are full, the fulness being arranged in gathers, side pleats or unstitched box-plants. There have been rumors also of the accordion pleated skirt coming in again. A number of the new hats are in that most rich and wonderful color, royal purple. The material is velvet or satin or both combined. Another new color for hats is ruby red. Topping a black or nearly blue costume one of these spots of color gives a most striking and smart effect. But let us come back to the styles that we worn just at present. The Dress of the Moment. If one judges by popularity, the dress of the moment is of satin of figured silk. Oatmeal and pleats, long tunics O. L. CALL With full Tunic and Cape-Collar and interesting collars are the features that allow great attention in the present model. Gathered skirts are not new, but when all the gatherings is placed at the side below the hipbones and finished with a heading, beneath which are pockets, we have to admit that this is a mixed way of handlingathers. This treatment is shown here in an illustration. The dress referred to has the waist cleverly designed to harmonise with the skirt for the lines on either side of the white vest would continue down to meet those on the skirt, were it not for the soft girdle that comes between them. Designers are making a strong point of the long tunic again, and in many models they hang in several points, as in the dress illustrated here. Full and pleated at the waist, hangs softly over the foundation skirt. As if to balancing the ripples on the skirt, a large capel-like collar is placed over the shoulders of this dress. The cape-collar is still with us, among the many other dainty collars which are particularly noticeable on dresses and waists. Some of the collars extend almost, if not precisely down to the waist line in the back, and those that are not quite so long manage to get the desired length by the addition of a circular ruffle or gathered frill. Still another favorite type of collar is short in the back and very low cut and finished with two pockets in front, quite the reverse of the other style. The edges are bound or scalloped, or finished with plocet edging. Certainly, the collars this season areas varied and graceful as possible. They are quite irresistible in Georgette crepe chiffon or organdy. Some New Waists The shops are showing some very striking silk waists, very colorful and most attractive. These are for wear with tailored skirts for they are decidedly of tailored type. The silk is striped with heavy wide stripes, some times combined with narrow ones. But it is chiefly in the color combinations that the attraction of these new waits lies. Light backgrounds of pink, cream and pale blue will have strong vivid stripes brought out on them. White silk collar and cuffs and large pearl buttons finish these waists. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER (J. C. Lindsay) During the two years or more that the Negro Business League has been attempting to give to the readers of the Savannah Tribune a weekly letter concerning the progress being made by the men and women in this community, who are bringing things to pass for the race in a tangible way, it has not at any time attempted to deal with items of news, nor has it attempted to deal with things purely social. On the contrary, this organization has endeavored to put forth the best endeavors in it, thrust its weekly letter, to assist those of our men and women in business to make a better business out of what they already have and to help those of us who have not as yet seen the wisdom of making a sacrifice to go into business, to do so at once. But for this one time, we are tempted to break away from our time honored custom and give to our readers just a little insight to the acts and doings of a real live up-to-date National Negro Business League session, where men have really done the thing and, are not afraid to tell it. So, "here she goes": On our arrival at Kansas City, Tuesday morning, August 15th, at 10:30 a.m. we were met by a delegation of business men from the local league of greater Kansas City, which was headed by Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, who is the president of the local league of the great twin cities of the middle-west, Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan. In automobiles we were escorted to the headquarters, which is a one story brick building owned by the Negro Waiters' Association, of greater Kansas City, which building is used for the purpose of training young men in the art of waiting and serving in first class hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc. After having registered and assigned to to our several stopping places, then the renewing of old acquaintances and sight seeing began, as there were no sessions to be held until Wednesday morning, August 16th, Representatives from all parts of this, our country were or hand to see that their local league take an active part in what ever was done for the Negro business men and women in this country, in the matter of placing on record news and progressive ideals as to the best methods of conducting successfully, the special lines in which they are engaged. Many of us took advantage of the opportunity afforded us to go into many of the local Negro enterprises and see for ourselves just how our western brethren engaged in business compare with the men and women of the south, who are engaged in similar lines. Just what our conclusions are we have decided to keep, at least, for the time being. Sufflee it to say, however; that the Negro engaged in business whose training for it was gained in the great southern university of "hard-knocks," is indeed, a host to bookon with. Hany of our men and women who are engaged in business in greater Kansas City, are doing well. To the credit of the race in greater Kansas City, are two drug stores, two shoe stores, one dry goods store, eight saloons, one six-story Y. M. G. A. building, which is modern and complete in every respect, one flower store, several millinery stores, quite a number of high-class phylcian and dentist, a large number of professional men and women, such as lawyers, teachers and the like. In that city, they are quite a number of our men engaged in the real estate business and many of them seem to be doing well. The real estate firm headed by F. J. Weaver, the president, of the local business league of that city, is regarded as among the best in that section of the country. The real estate firm of Stewart and Smith, the senior member, Mr. L. C. Stewart, an old Georgia boy, who, by the way, is a first cousin of our Captain A. F. Herndon, of Atlanta, Ga., has one of the best equipped real estate office in the middle west. These young men know their business in their special line, and one is not around them long before he will be impressed with the fact that these men are not novices bus seasoned real estate men. On Wednesday morning promptly at the stated time the meeting was called to order by the president of the local league. After a number of welcomes by quite a number of representatives of the local league, as well, as a number of other organizations and citizens, his honor, the mayor, was represented by the chairman of the upper assembly of councilmen of greater Kansas City. After these generous words of welcome had been extended to the visiting delegates and their friends by members of the local league and the mayor's representative, able responses were made by men who call things by their natural names. The lack of time and space forbids that we attempt to enter into any detailed explanation with reference to the personnel of men, nor even the great measures which many of them represent, as business factors of the race, and still, we would be pleased to tell you of the ex-slave, Mr. David Chiles, near Topeka, Kan., who marketed seven hundred and fifty dollars worth of water melons in one season, to say nothing of the price of the other truck which went away down in to the pockets of his home-made jean trousers. The name of J. G. Groves is too well known to create excitement at its mention here, and who is known the country over as the "Potato King of America." He, Mr. Groves, was on hand, though modest as a country girl, to answer certain questions propounded by men who really wanted to know how it happened. After some questioning by many of the really interesting gentlemen present, Mr. Groves finally said: "This has been a very bad year for potato growers. We had too much rain to begin with, and not enough at the time it was needed." Then Mr. Groves attempted to sit down, but someone raised up in the audience and said: "Tell us Mr. Groves, how many potatoes did you make this year?" Well, said Mr. Groves. "I sold thirty-two thousand bushels." After liberal applause, Mr. Groves was allowed to take his seat. J. A. Waring of Yazoo, Miss., followed who owns eight hundred bales of cotton, which averaged fifty dollars to the bale. It is said that the other fellow has to do a thing only a few times before the dusky son of Ham will be trying to turn the same trick, be it for his weal or woe. The more we think about this old saying, the more we have begun to think it is true. The Negro like the other fellow, has to have his millionaire, too. Mr. Wiley Hines of Oakland, Cal., the man with the reputation of growing more prunes than any other Negro in the world, was spied in that vast audience of Negro men and women who do things, and was urged to come to the platform and this he consented to do only after some earnest persuasion. This plainly dressed unententious business man came all the way from Oakland, Cal., to Kansas City, Mo., to inspire the young Negro men who are coming in great horde and numbers from our various schools and colleges every year, and says to them: "go thou and do likewise." Those of us who are interested in the perpetuity of the Negro business league, should not have any yfear as to what the final outcome of this great organization will be. The men behind it are determined to see to it that it be kept alive. The Hon. J. C. Napier, the former chairman of the executive committee was unanimously elected to the place filled by our lamented chieftain, Dr. Bocker T. Washington, while all of the other officers were re-elected to fill the places which they have held for the past sixteen years. The merchant prince of Muscoeza Okla., Mr. J. T. Elliott, was elected to the place of chairman of the executive committee, which place was made vacant by the elevation of the honorable J. C. Napier to the presidency. The place on the executive board which was made vacant by the elevation of Mr. Elliott to the chairmanship of that board, was filled by that hustling real estate dealer of Kansas City, Mo., Mr. Fortune J. Weaver. The representative of our local league was placed on the auditing committee, as well as being elected as one of the vice-presidents of of National Negro Insurance Man's Association. The next annual meeting will be held in the city of Chattanooga, Town., in August, 1917. Ow Georgia delegation was not what THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE In we hoped it would be from the stand- ber point of numbers. We do hope and state trust that the progressive cities and be towns of Georgia will yet see the wis- firm of organizing a local league in ent, their respective communities. In the city, mean time, it is up to the Savannah that local league to see to it that a live state up-to-date state organization be had in favor of the south's empire state. Come early to your next meeting, Wednesday evening Sept. 6th. and bring a friend with you and let's throw away our little hatchets before we get hurt with them and let's make this league, which mean so much to the Negro in this community, the powerful agency in the Negro's uplift, which it can and will be, provided we do our whole duty as business men should.

FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Saturday August 26th, 1916 In the square fronting one of our churches Sunday afternoon lost, a number of white boys wore gathered in a group sitting in the grass engaged in a game of cards. We did not see any money but one small fellow was heard to say he had no more money to lose in the game. In this square these boys take delight in creating much disorder especially during the services of the church. There should be some relief. Would this be tolerated in the proximity of any of the white churches? --- The opening of a playground for Negro children by the Urban League is a stop which every Negro parent of the city appreciates. Municipal playgrounds have been promised Negroes by the city authorities now for some thing over two years but as yet none has been forthcoming and it looks now as if nothing further than the promise will be realized along this line. The Urban League is to be congratulated in providing as best it can for the welfare of our children and deserves in this as in its many other uplift efforts the united support of every Negro man and woman. Horrortyflag and repugn it so the highest degree were the reports published in the daily press of the morning in Florida last year. Negro men and the Negro women cause, it is, that it is intended to secrete a white bloodthirsty. We are wanton murder can be named and yet Negroes are only by some of their so called white friends for leaving this section for other parts of the country where protection is afforded them. Such actions as this of the barbarous Florida mob and those of other southern states are not apt to discourage the Negro in his desire to seek other aliens but rather they will make him more determined to seek other abodes where his life will not be in jeopardy at all times and his opportunities for happiness and a quiet pursuit of his life work at least surrounded by a reasonable amount of protection. Gratifying beyond expression must be the result of Wednesday's election which held in balance the opening of our public schools. The issue was so inconsequent that it is scarcely possible to imagine how the vote could have gone other than as it did and yet strange things have happened and now that it is all over every loyal Savannahian, though he felt within himself that the schools would win out, is breathing a sigh of relief that the question of the school tax levy is done for once and all time and that there is now no obstacle to hamper the education of our children. We are pleased to find that the negative vote was almost negligible and delighted beyond words at the large Negro vote in favor of the tax. It shows that our men are vitally interested in the welfare of our children and are ever ready to lend whatever assistance they can to furthering their educational advancement. Last Monday night a colored boy rode his bicycle on the side walk on West Broad street. The officer, who saw him thought it a very serious offense, therefore in attempting to arrest the boy shots were fired at him. The frightened boy was apprehended and it is claimed beaten. The arresting officer was justly suspended. At a hearing afterwards he was reinstated. Those who witnessed the affair are indignant at its termination and protest the reinstatement of the officer who without just cause endangered human life. We feel that Chief Meldrum will not for a moment uphold an officer whenever a wrong is com- mitted. When the hearing was given the suspended officer, all who knew about the affair should have been present and submitted their evidence. NEWS FROM BEAUFORT; S. C. At Grace A. M. E.

By Losing to Roosters on Last Monday The Piney Wood team which was tied for second place with the Eurekas, dropped into third place on last Monday when they went down in defeat before the Roosters' aggregation by a score of S-G. Both teams were short of players and the line up had to be filled by players of other clubs. The losing of the game by the Piney Wood was quite a back set to the team in their race for the pennant. Batteries; for the Roosters, Graham and Pinckney; for the Piney Wood, Nixon, Hampton and Shootrick. Thursday's game between the Adelphias and Eurekas was postponed on account of rain.

HARDSTEW WRITES FROM VIRGINIA Danville, Va.—This is a world in which a fellow can move if he decides that he wants to move and if not there there is nothing for him to do but to just sit down and wait to see the salvation of the Lord. I am delighted to be in the world and have no desire to leave it, yet at times there are things which remind me that I must leave here some day, but I do not know the day. So many are passing out. I am now on the edge of the National Baptist Convention, and they tell me that they are going to pile into Savannah in great shape. I am going to be the guests there of St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor, and of the C. M. H. Church, Rev. Martin, pastor, and this menas that I am going to enjoy myself. Then the paper is going to see to me getting around some. I have been doing some moving since I wrote you last. I was in Kansas City, Kan., last week, and each day I went over to Kansas City, Mo., to attend the National Negro Business League. There is nothing new about that meeting, except to say to you that Hon. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, was made president, although there was a strong sentiment to make Dr. Robert R. Moton, the president of Tuskegee Institute, president. The nominating committee stood six for Moton and one for another man, but eventually they settled on Mr. Napier, and he was of course elected. I am sure he will make a good president, and having worked with Dr. Washington, it is but just and right that he should be his successor. Mr. Emmott J. Scott, the secretary of the League was re-elected to his position, and took hold as before. That man was just born to lead and write, and he is one of the greatest man of our race, although there is not much fuss made about it. People opened their eyes and looked at him when he read the Booker T. Washington memorial address before the league. He was the man to write it, and he did write it. Mr. Scott is not going to stop at merely writing a memorial address, but he is going to dramatize "Up from Slavery" under the name of "Birth of a Race" and it will open the eyes of the civilized world. Already this work is in progress, the moving picture man is at work getting out the scheme, and when it is placed on canvas, it will be a true picture of life and will not be an exaggeration of facts. It will not be for the purpose of putting one race against another, but will show race love, it will show the wonderful progress made by the race, centering around that great character, Booker T. Washington and another great man, Frederick Douglass and others like that. I thank God for Emmett J. Scott, that will be in it, but you take that master mind of Emmett J. Scott, and you will see great things in it. I am delighted to be able to give you this much in advance, that you may see that we are not sleeping, but God is to the front men and strong men at that. Men who will preach and practice justice to all men. Men who will give his best to his neighbor, and regard his feelings. I thank God for Himmett J. Scott, Rogcoe Conklin Simmons was there and he delivered an address. He said some good things, in fact, all the things he said were good, but they wore in some cases so disconnected that we could not understand them all. He said some things that were in keeping with the life and work of Booker T. Washington, and then he made some flights that were so high that my weak ability could not follow him, hence I do not know just what he said. He is some orator, I am told, and I guess it was all too high up for me to reach. The next time I am going to ask him to make two speeches, one for them high educated and the other for us whose school training is limited. I enjoyed the league very much, and desire to congratulate Fortune J. Weaver and his wife for the success together with other good people of Kansas City. I made it from Kansas City, Kansas, over to Missouri, then through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carefina, and now into Virginia, and you will see that I am some moving man. I left St. Louis in company with Rev. Henry Allen Boyd and others. I have just had a letter from Savannah, stating that every thing is ready for the big convention, and the unveiling of the George Lisle monument will be a big thing in this country. Dr. L. G. Jordan, the foreign missionary secretary is putting his life into it. I guess I have said enough for this time. Let me hear from you. Well I will see you next week. The National Baptist Convention will be on hand before you can count good. I understand that all the people are going to unite and give a big time.

Among the primitive Masons, the badge of innocence received a characteristic distinction from its peculiar color and material, and was indeed an unequivocal mark of superior dignity. The investiture of the apron form, an essential part of the ceremony of initiation, and was attended with rites equally significant and impressive. With the Essenian Masons, it was accomplished by a process hearing a similar tendency, and accompanied by illustrations not less imposing and satisfactory to the newly initiated inquirer. He was clothed in a long white robe which reached to the ground, bordered with fringe of blue ribbon, to incite personal holiness, and fastened tightly around the waist with a girdle to separate the heart from the lower and more impure parts of the body. With bare feet and head uncovered, he was considered a personification of modesty, humility and the fear of God.—Select. To love abundantly is to live abundantly.—Selected. Early Aspirations. When an officer first enters upon the performance of his duties he is generally charged with enthusiasm, and has in his mind the initiation of reforms and the eradication of abuses. He discusses his proposals with the brethren of ripe experience and more mature judgement. Some may disapprove, others may listen patiently while pointing our obstacles in the way: others again may mildly condemn with only half-hearted praise. The result will likely be that he becomes timid, loses the courage of convictions, seeks the point of least resistance, is content to rest upon his ears, adopts the polity of laissez-faire, and makes up his mind to adhere to the beaten path rather than risk unpopularity, and therefore simply drifts. Do not imagine that I am describing my own mental state in making these observations.—Selected. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that and nothing else shall he also reap. That which we are doing, good or evil,/grave or gay; that which we do today we shall do tomorrow; each thought, each feeling, each action, each event; each passing hour, each breathing moment, all are contributing to form the character according to which we are to be judged. Every particle of influence that goes to form that aggregate—our character—will in that future scrutiny, be sifted out from the mass and, particle by particle, with ages perhaps, intervening, fall a distinct contribution to the sum of our joys or woes. Thus, every idle word and every idle hour will answer in the judgement. Let us take care, therefore, what we sow."—Morals and Dogma. Following is an excerpt from the address of Grand Master Robert Judson Kenworthy to the Grand Lodge of New York: We are in an age of progress. The world has its serious application to the affairs of the day. It also has its references, facetiously, perhaps, to the politics of the time; but progress is a definite term. It means advancement, not retrogression; it means improvement, not failure; it means onward and forward, not looking backward or dismal retreat. Is our Masonry progressive or are we making it a factor only of the lodge room? Are we content to remain intrenched in mysticism, to confer degrees to make Masons and then forget them, excepting, perhaps, as their names are added to our roll—leaving them muzzled as to its secrets but bewildered and lamentably untaught of those deep underlying truths inculcated in the days when quality not quantity was the watchword of the Craft? If our drift is away from and not toward its highest ideals and traditions slowly but surely the vitality which sustains it will slip away, and I say without hesitation, our Fraternity, will cease to appeal to intelligent men. It will become nothing but a nummery, a jargon of signs and baubles, titles and platitudes—for we will follow the shadow and not the substance. I might well hesitate to charge this great gathering of thoughtful men as to its duty, for I realize there are brethren present, who have served the Craft conspicuously for long before I was admitted to its ranks. Their lives are our examples; their deeds are our admiration; their work our standard; but we are spaced with conditions confronting us; forces not yet met with while our country was young; elements constantly arising in our civil life that must needs have our consideration if the heritage of our fathers is to pass beyond our times, and it is with something of gravity. I venture to ask you to stop with me for a gaze into the future to see whether we can create for our Masonry a new spirit, blended of ancient tradition and modern endeavor; a real vital power for good in the world; a rising to duty not circumscribed bytiled doors, or words, or signs; an open service to be known of all men for the good that it renders. Masonry is not political in the sense in which you and I are partians; but I do maintain there is a relationship between Masonry and good citizenship to which our Craft must awaken if it is to fulfill its highest mission. The making of Masons will be for naught if we simply continue impressing our novitiates with its secrets and mysteries. The lesson inculcated in the charge to our Entered Apprentice is of the greatest import to our day and generation. You know the words; are we alive to their importance? Do we repeat them slowly, looking our brother straight in the eye, and making him feel their application is away and beyond the secret work of the Craft; that they fit him to face his duty in the world; to spread the light of his example and the force of our Masonic precept and teaching and help to become a better and stronger part of our civic life?—Exchange. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE REPUBLICANS OF GEORGIA. I am not a politician in the professional sense of the word, but in the sense of citizen being interested in the welfare of his country, and its development, I may be classed as a politician. Under the etymological use of the word every voter is a politician., In that sense, I am one. I am a Baptist preacher. My life has been given to the preaching of the word. I believe that is a preacher's logical place. Neverless, if he is mindful of the public weal, as it relates to every phase of public life, he is not in my opinion, properly filling his sphere, even as a preacher. I make hold the assertion that we have no Republican party in Georgia. We have a few office seekers, who seem to feel that they can "fool all the people all the time." They make loud noise and flattering promises, once every four years and that ends it. All they seem to want is pap and pay, for their promises. We have fallen upon evil days. There was a time when we had high class politicians in this state. There are very few now however. It seems that Buck's successor will never be found. Personally I like Colonel Walter Johnson. I think he is a fine man and a true Republican, but he lacks manhood, courage and executive ability. He is not the man in my opinion to lead to victory. But what better, if any, is Mr. Henry S. Jackson? My opinion of him is, that he is a dictator with very little heart and still smaller respect for the rights of others. I may be mistaken, but it occurs to me he is a full fledged-Democrat wearing Republican clothes. As soon as Mr. Hughes is elected, watch him grab the biggest plum and Mr. Pickett the next largest. I have been a voter since my majority, but for nearly twenty years have had no chance to vote for a Republican ticket, except president and vice president. Johnson did not give me a state ticket to vote, neither will Jackson. In state election, I am disfranchised by my own party leaders, or I must take the alternative and be a Democrat after they have disfranchised me by the white primary. What hope has the Republican following in the state? I believe something ought to be done and done right away or the leaders should be held to strict accountability. I believe a man like Colonel John F. Barnes of Thompson would make a great leader. Such men as Colonel Rucker, Colonel Lyons, Dr. Walker and others actively in charge of the party would give tone and dignity to the party and rekindle hope in the hearts of our fellows. Indmire Colonel H. L. Johnson, I think he is a great man, but he over-dosed me with Pickett. I am not going to vote for Pickett for anything. There are thousands who share my opinion. We must have a reformation of the Republican party in Georgia. I am a Republican. I am not going to be anything else. I am one because I honestly believe in Republican principles.

Mgr 145 West Broad St. Picture of "Douglass Home in Hands of Women's Federation If present plans go through as expected, the National Federation of Colored Women will take over the historic home of the late Frederick Douglass at Cedar Hill, Anacostia D. C., and make it a national headquarters for that organization and a Mecca for the Negro race at large. Thousands of our race come to Washington every year, for one reason and another, and it has long been a cherished idea that this stately mansion, overlooking the Potomac and the capitol, should be made an inspirational center for the Negroes of the entire land, just as Mount Vernon is the rallying-point of the Caucasian American, to which pilgrimages are made day by day throughout the seasons. The plan outlined by the Federation of Colored Women took definite form at the recent convention at Baltimore and negotiations were entered into immediately with the trustees of the Frederick Douglass Historical Association, which has the home in charge under an act of Congress, the particulars of which the writer will go into at a later date. This board comprising among others, Mr. A. H. Grimke, Rev. Francis J. Grimke, Whitfield McKinley, Dr. W. H. Grogan, Dr. J. E. Moorland, and Prof. H. H. Sart, has not been able in the years that it has managed the affairs of the property, to clear off the $4,000 mortgage that has hung over it like a pall, and it is a painful fact that the homestead has run dow so physically that it will take a considerable sum of money to put it into decent shape for the purposes the women have in mind. Mr. Whitfield McKinley and family have been living on the place as caretakers, but there being no money available for improvements, the mansion has become sadly out of repair. It is a God-send that some agency has stepped into the arena to make this sacred shine what it ought be. A large delegation representing the Federation journeyed here from Baltimore to look the property over and to discuss terms with the board. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., the newly elected president, headed the party, exported by Miss Marie A. D. Hadro, president of the Federation of the District of Columbia. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School, lent valuable assistance, and Judge Robert H. Terrell, who has always evinced a lively interest in all movements that tended to preserve the memory of the immortal Douglass, accompanied the ladies as special advisor as to reality figures and legal forms in connection with the proposed arrangements. The property is said to worth about $67,000 and covers about fifteen acres. With the mortgage to be paid off and the house and grounds to be put into satisfactory condition, together with other necessary expenses, it is estimated that no less than $15,000 will be required. How to raise this amount and to carry the running expenses of the home, a problem that confronts the Federation, and the details touching between the organization and the trustees, and the methods decided upon to finance the great project will be given as they develop. It is expected that the country at large will be asked to help and it may be the enough public spirit can now be aided in the movement to crystallize into action the dreams that the founders have been indulging in since the death of the "Sage of Anacostia." The history of the "rallies" inaugurated for the payment of the omnipresent mortgage is familiar to every colored American. The trustees started out to raise the money and failed to score. Congress was appealed to, but the matter could not get beyond a formation state. Dr. Booker T. Washington succeeded in building up a nucleus of an endowment fund, but was too busy with other matters to complete the work. Mr. Ralph Tyler took hold and tried to make a nationwide campaign, but failed to make an impression. Several fraternities sought to secure the property, but were unable to make a deal with the management and the situation remained unchanged. The School Situation Approaching - A Crisis. With the opening of the fall term of the public schools and the taking of the reins by the new regime on the Board of Education, a real crisis in the affairs of our schools is likely to ensue. Since July 1, the committees named by the incoming president of the Board, Rev. John VonSchaick, have been studying every phase of our school needs and will have some definite policies and practical suggestions to announce at the first meeting in September. Not only will the physical needs of the school property, text books, and courses of study be considered, but it is regarded as certain that helpful changes will be made in the personnel of the official staff at a very early date, one of which will be the naming of a new assistant superintendent for the colored divisions. This will be in accord with the wishes of 95 per cent. of the patrons and pupils of the colored schools of the District, as the masses have no confidence in the present regime and their interest has lagged because of the widespread feeling that a "square deal" cannot be had as long as the head is unchanged. The clean sweep of the three sitting members of the board meant that the old situation was unsatisfactory. The new Board understands that a thorough cleaning of the Augean stables is expected by the force which put them in charge of the educational affairs of the District. For the first time in many years the "anti-machine" element has a warring majority on the board, and the people insist that an era of reform be inaugurated at once. Topics of the Town Mr. Wade H. Carter, formerly of Kentucky, but now charged to the state of California, has been promoted from copyist at $900 to clerk to $1,000 in General Land Office, Interior Department. Mr. Carter is a practical printer, a graduate of the Howard University Law School and is a young man of brilliant and executive ability. * * * Mr. William H. Brown of Louisville, Ky., now in the military service on the Mexican border, is soon to relieved from duty in the United States army and will be appointed to a position in the civil wing of the government at Washington. ```markdown ``` Mr. Lowell W. Baker, suprintendent of construction in the Bureau of the Supervising Architect, Treasury Department, is now in charge of the federal building at Albion, Mich. Mr. Baker is one of the two colored men employed in this branch of the government service in the United States, and is rated as a skilled architect and builder. * * * It is expected that a determined fight will be made this year by the citizens against the practice of the Board of Education allowing day teachers to serve in night schools, except in cases where competent instructors cannot be obtained for short school terms and the day teachers must be drawn upon. It is held that men and women cannot do their best work when doing double duty, and it is further argued that justier demands that a larger opportunity should be allowed for the employment of the graduates from the normal schools through the night school outlet. It is not fair that favored ones should be given big slices of fat, while others not less deserving should be denied even a small chunk of lean. Day teachers should not be used in the night schools, as suggested, save in exceptional cases. --- The District appropriationbill, now in conference after passing both houses of Congress, calls for liberal amounts for the purchase of additional ground adjoining the Garrison, the Syphay, Lovejoy and Armstrong Manual Training Schools. The bill also carries an increase from $3,000 to $3,500 for the two assistant superintendents. The latter will be pleased news to the coming successor to Assistant Superintendent R. C. Brueg. --- The country will be pleased to know that Director J. R. Ralph has appointed Mrs. Nettie Arnold Tompkins, widow of the late Prof. R. W. Tompkins, to a position in the Bureau of Engraving and printing. Mrs. Tompkins is an accomplished lady and richly merits the good fortune that has come to her. Prof. Tompkins was for many years a valuable attache of the Treasury Department, but died some months ago. * * * Col. W. O. Emory, a Republican leader of Georgia, is in the city working with Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of the same state upon matters connected with the opening of the campaign among the colored voters of the country. ```markdown ``` Senator Ben Tillman, in a speech last Saturday, formally renounced the title of "Pitchfork Ben," won many years ago by reason of the bluntness and frankness with which he discussed public questions. "From the grave of the pitchfork an olive tree has grown," id the venerable ex-fire-eater, "and I am tendering the olive branch, claiming to represent the south in doing so, to all northern people." Tillman, once out-heroding Herod in arousing the rancor of sectionalism, is now denouncing the "waving of the bloody shirt," as un-American, and recently rose to the sublimity of admitting that he was glad the North had won the battle for national sovereignty; and that the abolition of Negro slavery was right. Verily, the conversion of Ben Tillman is one of the moral triumphs of the age! Emmott J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and director of the work of raising the $250,000 from colored people for the Bowker T. Washington memorial fund, is expected in the city in a fortnight. He will confer with chairman Henry Lassiter and others of the local committee relative to the steps to be taken to re-open the campaign in the District for the Tuskegee Institute fund. Mr. Scott should be loyally supported by the citizens of Washington, and a large sum should be raised among our 100,000 population. The project to erect at 10th and U streets a mammoth $125,000 Masonic Temple seems to be at a standstill. --- The Mu-So-Lit Club will resume its regular meetings on the second Friday in October. President Walter J. Singleton's term runs until January, the close of the club's fiscal year. It is expected that an amendment to the constitution will be offered, looking to changing the election time to the close of the spring term, and thus extending the official tenure of President Singleton until next May, carrying him through the inaugural period in March. The Mu-So-Lits will be required to be hosts of the nation about that time and, the far-visioned members of the organization are desirous of having at the helm a leader who possesses the superb general-hip and impressive personality that are notable characteristics of Mr. Singleton. TheMu-So-Lit Club is eleven years old and is made up of 100 of Washington's foremost musical, social and literary lights. It was founded by Prof Frank L. Cardozo, a prominent factor in the public school system. ```markdown ``` Attorney W. L. Houston, Grand Secretary of the Supreme Order of Helpers, is recovering from a painful illness, following a major operation. He will soon be able to resume his practice and attend to his duties as an official in the Order of Helpers, which is growing to be a powerful fraternal organization. * * ± Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the energetic principal of the National Training School, Lincoln Heights, D. C., made the great nominating speech that led to the prompt election of Mrs. Mary A. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., as president of the National Federation of Colored Women at Baltimore a few days ago. Many of the delegates came over to Washington after the convention and Miss Burroughs splendid institution at Lincoln Heights, was the natural rallying point, the acknowledged Mecca of the national capitol. Mr. John C. Dancy, Jr., has been placed in charge of the Y. M. C. A. of Norfolk, Va., one of the most prosperous of the many Associations in the country. In point of executive ability and disposition to succeed at anything he attempts. Young Mr. Dancy is a veritable "chip off the old lock." Misc. Bernice Sewell, a graduate of the Washington, high and normal schools, has been appointed a teacher in domestic science in the public schools of Baltimore, Md. M. Richard C. Bundy, of Cincinnati, Ohio, secretary of locatlon at Monorovia, Liberla, is spending his vacation in the city. Mr. Bundy is a young man of engaging qualities and has made a host of friends here. He is stopping at the home of W. B. Lucas, 1911 13th street northwest. Secretry Bundy is optimistic as to the future of Liberia and it well posted on on the economic and industrial affairs of the black republic. 求 求 Last Saturday the "Stork" visited the homes of three colored families and left a token of love, but not a single white family was so honored—a rare instance of, racial discrimination in the federal city. The already numerous Texas Colony in the city was augmented a few days ago by th arrival of Mr. Leonard G. Ellis, who came from San Antonio—the old home of House Manager R. G. Byars, of the Howard Theatre—to assume his duties as an attache of the War Department. The public schools will open September 18th, notwithstanding the infantile paralysis danger. The belief of the health authorities is that the threatened invasion of this plague will be beaten off by the coming of cooler weather by that date. We still have "Congress on our hands" Attorneys Adam E. Patterson and Lawrence A. Newby, of Chicago, passed through the city a few days ago, en route homeward from New York City, where they had been holding conferences with leaders of the National Democracy. In all probability, a western headquarters well be opened in Chicago, to push the campaign of President Wilson among the colored voters, with such well-known Jeffersons as Lawyers Newby, Patterson, J. Gray, Lucas and T. Wallace Swann in charge. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IX.—Third Quarter, For Aug.27,1916. 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 (xix, 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 tagged three months in Greece, and now they abode seven days at Troas (xx, 2-6; xvi, 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 Miletus, 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 bishopdom of God (verses 24, 24, 25). Those are the krushes, who need to know, and share, is nothing except to tell the grace of God which brings salvation to all and justifies freely all who truly receive him (korn. iii, 24; Diph. ii, S. 9; Tiph. i, 11; iii, 47). Since she are gravy, before God and the miscellaneous which He requires no matter what has nor can obeys 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 penitent slinner (Rom. ill, 19; II Cor. v, 21; I Cor. 1, 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. 1, 10; John ill, 30). Then there is the building up or edifying of the saints so necessary for the workings 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 xvll, 17; Sept. xv, 10). Paul could say, what many are 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 Beephur 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. 1, 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 20, 30; Ezek. xxxiv; John x). Paul was always speaking of the kingdom of God, as was also our Lord Jesus (verse 22; xxvill, 23, 31; Matt, 1v, 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 xlx, 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, 13-19). 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 hean, as Paul did in Asia (xx, 10), then institute the saved ones as to the purpose of God, that they may win others, for victory, sinner saved brings joy in heaven (Lunarary, xx10); and helps to complete the church. A sadness to earn our own living while doing this, in necessary, would be doing as Paul did (Gesnes, 34, 35). He was ready to suffer, or be imprisoned or be killed, as God might will, if only he, might frisk this course with joy and the ministry he had received of the Lord Jesus (Gesnes, 2-24, xx1, 13). He desired the approval of God. --- --- NEAUX CHMAKER TEED UNT RETAIL Merchant JEFFERSON ST ook EMBALMER REASONABLE RATES STREET WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.

MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our beloved one, Mildred Madgelene Sampson, who departed this life August 22, 1912. Hush'd are the winds, and still the evening gloom, not even a zephyr wanders through the grove whilst we return to view our Mildred's tomb and scatter flowers on the dust we love. But wherefore weep? Her matchless spirit soars beyond where splendid shines the orb of day. Where endless pleasures virtue's deeds repay. And shall presumptuous mortals heaven arrign. And, madly, Godlike providence accuse? Oh! no far fly from us attempts so vain; we'll never submission to our God refuse, yet is remembrance of those virtues dear, yet fresh the memory of that bright face and in our hearts retain their wonted place.
