The Savannah Tribune. --- VOLUME XXXI WOMAN'S AUX'L IN CONVENTION WOMAN'S AUX'L IN CONVENTION ABOUT 500 DELEGATES PRESENT FROM MANY STATES President and Secretary of Convention Make Thrilling Addresses $ ^{o} $ The Women's Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention convened at St. John Baptist Church, Wednesday and will hold its last meeting Sunday evening. There are about 500 enrolled delegates, representing eighteen states. The opening session of the convention Wednesday afternoon was attended by a very large crowd. Mrs. S. Willie Layton of Philadelphia, presided. The welcome addresses at 4 o'clock were excellent. Mrs. W. J. Ayers welcomed the visitors in behalf of the Baptist women, Mrs. M. E. Harper spoke in behalf of the other denominations and Mrs. P. James Bryan of Atlanta, made the welcome address on behalf of the state. On behalf of the delegates, Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, of Philadelphia, made the response. The evening's session had as its principal feature the annual sermon by the Rev. C. G. Fishback of Kansas. Special music was rendered and an exceptionally large crowd was present. At the Thursday morning's session Mrs. P. Jame Bryant, of Atlanta, presided. The main feature of the session was the annual report of the president, Mrs. S. Willie Layton. Mrs. Layton spoke on prepareness and her address was listened to with marked attention. The speaker stressed the importance of boys and girls being given proper training in order that they may be fully prepared to meet the battles of life and she dwelt at length on the necessity of proper recreational training for them. In the afternoon the church was packed, the main attraction being the address of Miss N. H. Burroughs, corresponding secretary. Miss Burroughs held her audience spell bound as she told of the work which is being done at the National Training School and that of the Baptist women all over the country. The speaker emphasized the fact that there is too much reform work and not enough preventive work. She advised against starting too many "uplift" organizations and advocated the concentration of efforts on the few enterprises that are operated by honest, capable people, and be content to have a less number of schools, churches, shops and business places and urged that we see that they are better managed. She spoke of the gap between white and colored women, urged the putting of backbone in our boys and told most feelingly of the temptation besetting Negro girls. She touched upon the tendency of many young women to do missionary work within the church when their own homes remain neglected. The speaker was the very embodiment of earnestness and her words seemed to strike a most responsive chord in the hearts of her hearers. At night the Rev. B. F. Riley, white, of Alabama, and Mrs. M. W. Reddick, of Americus, Ga., were the principal speakers. Rev. Riley told in a most earnest and impressive manner of his work in attempting to create a better understanding between the whites and blacks. His talk was to the point and practical and he handled it in a plain matter of fact way. After these two addresses, Mrs. E. Arlington Wilson, in charge of the question box, spoke. Yesterday's session brought forth addresses by Mrs. M. J. Brockman. Oklahoma; Mrs. S. Tribbitt, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Arline Raifford, South Carolina; Mrs. B. F. Fox, Virginia, and Mrs. Mary Leod Bethune, Fla.

Daniel Wright, pastor. This meeting will be held under the auspices of the executive committee of the Educational Board, of which Dr. T. J. Searcy is chairman. Col. A. B. Singfield will be master of ceremonies. Speakers, Dr. Moses and Griggs, are men of national reputation and as speakers they have but few peers. Dr. Griggs is the author of several popular books.

Today is tag day in the interest of the Lisle Monument Fund. Thru the efforts of Miss Bessie Foster, the very efficient secretary of the local Lisle Monument Committee, scores of young ladies have been secured to take a part in the Lisle Monument tag day. These ladies met last Tuesday at the F. A. B. church, Bolton street, and organized. They were given proper instructions by Miss Poster and Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board. These young ladies, along with the monument committee, met in a body at the F. B. B church where a group picture was taken at the monument. Early this morning the young ladies will be on the streets with tags Everybody should encourage them by contributing liberally to tag day.

Morris of Arkansas Re-elected Major Moton of Tuskegee Who Addressed Convention Last Night Received Rousing Applause—Convention Will Conglud) Business Monday Night The thirty-six annual session of the National Baptist Convention was opened here Wednesday morning 10 o'clock and will continue until Monday night. The meetings are being held in the auditorium of the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square. Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., Montgomery, Ala., treasurer; Prof. M. M. Rogers, Dallas, Tex., auditor; C. H. Parrish, D. D., Loulsville, Ky., Statistical secretary. Wednesday night the church was crowded, the principal feature being The last of the delegates arrived from the West Thursday morning and with their appearance in the city there were in the neighborhood of five thousand visitors here for the big Baptist meeting. The conventionists began pouring into the city Monday night, altho a few arrived as early as Sunday night. The local arrangement committee, anticipating a mammoth crowd, had everything in readiness for the great rush which was occasioned on Tuesday night at six o'clock when several special trains arrived bringing delegates from the East and Southwest. The scenes around the convention headquarters in the Wage Barners bank building, were very exciting and the gathering of the two thousand odd visitors in front of the bank waiting to be assigned stopping places attracted wide attention and was a signal for scores of automobile hackmen to abandon their usual stand at the Union station and convey the big crowd of visitors to their stopping places. The job proved a veritable bonanza for the drivers and although but a few of them at the time had on their cars cards reading "National Convention" by mid-day Wednesday it seemed as if every car on West Broad street bore one of these cards. The opening session of the convention Wednesday morning brought together some of the most distinguished Negro Ministers of the Baptist denomination whose adherents number approximately 2,500,000. The meeting was called to order at 10 o'clock and there were about 2,500 present. After devotional exercises, led by the Rev. J. W. Boykin of South Carolina, the program was announced by Prof. R. B. Hudson, secretary, and then the president, Dr. E. C. Morris of Arkansas, appointed the following committees: Enrollment—Wm. H. Steward, Kentucky; A. A. Cosey, Mississippi; B. J. Perkins, Tennessee; J. F. Kersh, Oklahoma; A. D. Williams, Georgia. Finance—R. E. Bryant, Adkansas; F. L. Lights, Texas; W. W. Whtton, Tennessee; J. W. Goodgame, Alabama. Church Finance—I. A. Thomas, Illinois; J. R. Bennett, Pennsylvania; R. M. Cover, Arkansas; B. T. Simms, Mississippi; C. S. Reddleck, Alabama; W. H. Jernagin, District Columbia. Ushers—T. P. Smith, Missouri; W. J. Jackson, Georgia; Geo. McNeal, Kansas; J. N. Murtn, Alabama; L. C. Canady, Mississippi; J. Francis Wilson, North Carolina. After a few remarks by the president, who, took occasion to speak of the great disrupting forces which have been at work in the ranks for the past twelve months, the meeting adjourned until afternoon when the following program was carried out: Devotions by Rev. R. A. Adams, Arkansas; Rev. L. Allen, Jr., D. D., Louisiana; Rev. E. E. Edwards, B. D., Alabama. Welcome, Addresses—On behalf of city, by Judge C. N. Feldelson; on behalf of Baptist of Georgia, by W. M. Reddick, D. D.; on behalf of other denominations, R. H. Singleton, D. D.; on behalf of fraternal organizations and business organizations, by J. C. Lindsay and E. W. Sherman; Esq.; on behalf of white Baptists, Rev. J. J. Taylor, D. D.; on behalf of the professional organizations by Dr. B. W. S. Daniels; on behalf of the Baptist ministers of the city by Rev. Wm. Gray, D. D. The welcome addresses were unusually strong and elicited much applause The attendance was exceedingly large, the crowd packing the church to the utmost. By this time all of the officers of the convention had arrived in town. They were E. C. Morris, Helena, president; W. G. Parks, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa., vice president-at-large; Prof. R. B. Hudson, A. M., Selma, Ala., secretary; Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., Montgomery, Ala., treasurer; Prof. M. M. Rogers, Dallas, Tex., auditor; C. H. Parrish, D. D., Loulsville, Ky., Statistical secretary. Wednesday night the church was crowded, the principal feature being the annual sermon by Dr. A. R. Johnson of Wicksburg, Miss. It was a masterly address and the speaker emphasized the fact that the time calls for preachers giving a true message to their congregations. He said they must have something of value to deliver from their pulps. Others who took part in the evening services were Rev. W. D. Johnson, Kentucky; Rev. J. H. Evans, Georgia; Rev. S. A. Moses, Virginia; and Rev. Thomas H. White, Virginia. Thursday morning's session was taken up principally, with the president's address. It was considered by the leading members of the convention the most scholarly message given to the body during the twenty-three years Dr. Morris has headed the convention. Knowing that the church would prove miserably inadequate to house the great throng gathered to hear President Morris's message, the committee in charge of the service decided to have an out door meeting and gather outside the church. In the square were fully five thousand persons who listened with wrap attention as the speaker delivered his address. The address dealt with all of the critical problems confronting the denomination and time after time the speaker was interrupted by roaring applause. Chief interest, however, was centered in the speaker's discussion of the law suit over the National Publishing House in Nashville, Tenn. On this matter President Morris said: "Much has been said about the suit entered for possession of the property which has been built up at Nashville, with the money given by the thousands of Baptist churches and Sunday sheools of this country, and the officers of the convention have been severely criticized for not pushing the matter to an early conclusion, but I beg to say, there has been no meeting of the convention since the publishing plant was snatched from the hands of the people one year ago at Chicago, and the executive board having no means at its command, could not do more than it has done, and is bringing the matter to you who constitute a higher court, and that board stands ready to execute whatever orders may be given. "But may I be permitted to suggest that the matter of forcing the National Baptist Publishing Board to turn over your property to you, be carefully and dispassionately considered before any further action be taken. I am reliably informed that the plant is heavily in debt, and mortgaged to the limit, and that as soon as a decision is rendered, which in my opinion could not be otherwise than in your favor, that the principal creditors will at once apply for a receiver, so as to not alone get the present income of that house, but the money which the loyal Baptist churches and Sunday schools are sending to the board created by you, for their Sunday school literature. So far, most of the burden of paying attorney's fees has been borne by the Sunday School Publishing Board, which in its present condition is hardly able to bear this responsibility alone, and if the suit is to be continued, the amounts given by that board should be augmented by the convention." The address consumed about an hour and a half and during the entire time of the address but few were seen to leave the vast gathering within range of the speaker's voice. Immediately following the address, the various state delegations held their meetings preparatory to the election of officers which was to take place in the afternoon. There was not even the slightest intimation of any opposition to the present incumbent as chief executor of the convention, the only ques- (Continued on page 4) MASONIC CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO A GREAT EVENT Dr. H. R. Butler Who Was Shown So Much Honor Makes Glowing Account of the Meeting On Monday August 21, the following bodies of colored, Masons met in the city of Chicago for a conference among themselves; the Grand Masters, Past Grand Master and Grand Secretaries of thirty-five grand lodges, the International conference of Knights Templar, the International Conference of Royal Arch Masons, the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons for the Northern Jurisdiction and the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine. All of these bodies were well attended by a large number of representatives from all parts of the country. The body I went to attend was, perhaps, the most interesting and important of all. It was the conference of Grand Masters. These Grand Masters, Past Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries were there from all thirty-five grand lodges and twenty three of them were represented by their Grand Masters. This was indeed a most wonderful gathering. It was the first time that so many Grand Lodges were thus represented by colored men in this country. Georgia was represented by your humble servant. It was the largest and wealthiest of all the Grand lodges there represented and a great ovation was tended the Grand Master when he rose to speak on any topic. The meetings of the conference were held in the great auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. This building cost nearly $20,000 and is a great credit to the colored people of the city of Chicago. All the other branches of Masonry meeting in that city at that time recognized the great truth that they were dependent upon the grand lodges for a foundation upon which to work and therefore, put forth extra efforts to make it pleasant for the Grand Masters, Past Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries. Grand Master A. Martin of Illinois, did himself honor in welcoming the Grand Masters and other Masonic bodies to the city and jurisdiction. The conference of all the Grand Chapters of the Eastern Star met there at the same time. Georgia was represented in the Eastern Star conference by our Royal Grand Matron, Sister Viola Hart. She took special care of the interest of the jurisdiction over which she has the honor to preside. She represented one of the largest jurisdictions of the order and was given a great ovation. Sister Hart, was on, the committee that brought the greetings from the conference of the Eastern Star to the conference of Grand Masters and the Grand Master of Georgia was one of the committee sent out to escort the ladies of that committee into the hall where the Grand Masters were assembled in order that they may de'iver their message of greetings. They all made fine addresses, as did our own Royal Grand Matron. As I said in the out set, all of these bodies held fine meetings and were well attended, but as we were sent to the Grand Masters' conference we attended that mostly. Much important work was accomplished for the good of Masonry throut the world among colored men. Our brethren will receive reports of this work at the proper time and at the proper place. The following executive board was elected for the next year: Past Grand Master A. W. Dungee, Michigan; Grand Master Wm. O. Payne New York; Grand Master J. F. Richards, Chatham, Ontario, Canada; Grand Master T. A. Harris, Los Angeles, Cal.; Grand Master A. A. Martin, Calro, Ill.; Grand Master Joseph Evans, Baltimore, Mr.; Grand Master S. M. Strayhorne, Martin, Tenn.; Grand Master Cory Adams, Findley, Ohio; and Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., Atlanta, Ga. The next conference of the Grand Masters will be held in the city of Louisville, Ky., in August 1917. The colored people are now holding jobs in the west that they have never held before. This is due to the fact that so many of the foreigners have returned home to take their place on the battle field. The railroad section hands from Atlanta to Chicago are now largely colored men; before the war, after leaving Kentucky this work was largely done by foreign labor. It is an ill wind that blows good to no one." God knows best what to do. Let us leave this to Him. Another thing that seems sure in the west and that is Wilson is beaten. The people seem to be disgusted with (Continued on page 8) --- NUMBER 44 BASEBALL LEAGUE CLOSES MONDAY EUREKAS AND ADELPHIAS TIE FOR FIRST PLACE Last Game to be Witnessed by Very Large Crowd. The Athletic park was the scene of a triple header on Labor day which was supposed to be the closing event of the Negro Social Clubs Baseball League, but on account of darkness, the management decided to continue the games to a later date. The called off game between the Adelphias and Roosters which was scheduled for last Monday was played Wednesday afternoon and the Adelphias won by a score of 5 to 2. The winning of this game by the Adelphias ties them with the Eurekas for first place. The tie will be played off Monday afternoon. Both teams are strengthening themselves and a hard fought and exciting game is expected to decide the pennant winners of the league. Much interest was manifested in the game on Wednesday between the Piney Wood and Urban League. The former team was picked by baseball dopsers to win and thereby make the race for the pennant a three-cornered affair, but the prophecies failed when the Urban League boys raced home with the winning run, 6-5. Preceeding the triple header on Labor day, there was a game between the Home Boys and the Adelphias which resulted in the defeat of the latter by a score of 4-3. The big event began about 3 o'clock before a large and entustastic crowd and every moment during the games was featured with brilliant and fast ball playing. The first game was between the Urban League and Home Boys and by agreement of the managers of the two teams, the game went five innings and resulted in the defeat of the League boys, they receiving a shut out. The second game was between the Eurekas and Piney Wood and was scheduled to go seven innings but it took eleven innings before the deciding run was scored. This was by far the most interesting game of the day and both teams played in big league form. Good pitching, brilliant fielding and excellent head work were displayed Hampton did the wrilling for the Piney Wood and Lockhart for the Eurekas. The game was easily the best of the season and the boys put up a great article of balt. The Eureka team outplayed the Piney Wood and had several excellent chances of winning the game, but the effective work of Hampton in the pinches, being ably supported by "Sahin" Golden, who was doing the catching, cut down several probabilities of their opponents scoring. The game finally ended in the eleventh inning when, with a man on second for the Piney Wood, Mal Bryan by slow fielding, failed to reach a fly ball hit to right field by "Spitfire" Sims, the Eunrekas going down in defeat by a score of 3-2. The last game was between the Roosters and Adelphias, this game being called on account of darkness. The score standing 1-1. As the game Monday is the last of the season the admission will be ladies 10 cents, men 15 cents. Standing of Clubs NAME G W L P.O.

WOULD NOT MARCH The Richmond Virginian in its issue of the 24th, publishes the following: Dixie Aerie, No. 335, of the Order of Eagles, has just returned home from the Grand Aerie held in Savannah, Ga., August 14 to 19. Dixie didn't march in the big parade given in connection with the big meet—and thereby hangs a tale. When the big walk-test was assembling, the Richmond members, became aware that a colored band was to turnish the noise of the celebration. The Richmonders love the "culud brother" in his place—which they think is not in an Eagle parade. They "about-faced" and returned to their hotel. We do not know of an organization in Virginia, not even excepting political bodies, that has more unreasoning racial antipathy to colored people than some of the members of this organization. It has recently erected a palatial structure on the corner of REV. A.R. GRIGGS. DALLAS, TEXAS, REV. A. R. GRIGGS, Cor. Secretary of National Baptist Educational Board Third and Marshall streets, nearly in the "black district", and it has been presided over by gentlemen in the lowly walks of life. It embraces in its membership some of the most liberal white citizens, and yet they sit there and let such "flannel-mouthed" individuals virtually control the organization. This Order is closely akin to the Elks. Its members like liquid refreshments. With most people, this kind of "medicine" makes them companionably and liberal in their attitude towards all men. When Virginians go down into Georgia to teach Georgians the proper custom relative to Negroes, then they have shown that they really do not belong to this country. Colored folks are "cussed" and abused in the South- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE land, but they are given opportunities to labor that have never been conceded to the in the far North. One of these opportunities is that of furnishing music for white folks. It came down from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Colored musicians sit today, and have sat in in the palatial residences and public halls of the South and stirred the hearts of thousands of the best white people in this country. These marchers were in line in Savannah, Ga., as servants. Every southerner understood that. But these "Rubes" from Richmond "played the fool" and came home not missed by the shouting masses of Eagles, who enjoyed the frolic. It may be well to state that while they were "walking in the air", so to speak, at Savannah, within a block of their Aerie here in Richmond, their club-house, where liquor flows and beer is in evidence, a white man was caught in a little ten by ten room with a black girl and he was carried through the streets of this city in a police patrol on a basis of perfect social equality with a black Negro, which he and the Eagles profess to hate and despise. Oh, yes, the Richmonders like the "cululd" brother in his place and our contemporary might have added that they like the "cululd" woman in her place, in the back-yard of 317 N. Fourth street, Richmond, Va. Oh; the hypocrisy of some of those white folks! H. M.

ME TOO The important lessons which the Negro in business might learn to great advantage from the other fellow in business, provided, he would simply take the time to study the methods employed by him, which invariably bring him to his success. The item of advertising is regarded by the other fellow who has turned every thing his hands has touched into money, a winner, when such ads have been properly placed. Every business man of the race should see to it that his business is kept before the people. "Penny wise and pound foolish" methods which are some times practiced by some of our so-called business men, have been the means of them meeting face to face with ignominious and crushing defeat in their undertakings, which might have been on the other hand, pronounced success. If the other fellow with his years, yea, centuries of experience and training in matters pertaining to business, pure and simple, finds it absolutely necessary to take great advertising space in the great metropolitan dailies, in order to keep his business properly before the people with money in hand to spend, does it not stand to reason that we, the child race in this country, should see to it that we at least turn a certain portion of our profits in this channel, in order that we too, might share in this important matter which is of such vital concern to the race? Let the Negro business man everywhere look this matter squarely in the face, and say within himself "if the other fellow must advertise in order to get business and to keep the people informed as to what he has for sale and as to his location, he too, will do likewise, if it takes that to deliver the goods." Courtesy in business is one of the cheapest, yet pays the greatest dividend on investment, of any of the elements in the basis of any of our several enterprises. People everywhere like to do business with the painstaking, polite and courteous business man, be he white or black. None of us like it said of us that "He does not pay enough attention to his business. He does not seem to want nor does he appreciate my trade." Such are awful judgements to be preferred against a member of the race engaged in business, by another member of the race with money in hand to spend, and yet, we must be honest with you and with ourselves and acknowledge that in some cases it is true. It is really interesting to note just how courteous, accommodating and po- lite the average foreigner is to his customers when they come into his place of business, with money in hand to spend. It is almost next to a physical impossibility to insult one of them in his place of business, when you are helping him in furnishing the wherewithal that keeps his doors open. There is much good in the foreigner's actions in this regard, that many of us, as members of the race engaged in business, might get out of the diplomatic example given which, is educative in business principles, to say the least. Preparedness means more than simply having a little capital ahead and a month's rent paid in advance. We fear that upon this principle of preparedness, many hard working, yet misinformed young men of the race have in a few months parted with what it took him several years to get together. In the matter of successfully competing with the other fellow who is doing everything he can for himself and for the business which he represents, men of our race engaged in similar lines, must pay strict attention to those winning points introduced by the man who is actually succeeding. There is no just reason why a Negro's place of business should be known because of the careless and slovenly way that business is kept. There may be some reasonable excuses for some stores not being as fine and in the mean time, not having in them all of the latest improved methods, such as over head electrical wires and many other labor and time-saving devices for the handling of great businesses like the ones which are handled by some of the fellows of other races who have had years and years the start on us, but this one thing is certain, we can certainly keep our places of business clean, well lighted, free from cob webs, dust and fly specks. We should see to it that our places of business compare favorably with those places of business kept by members of other races when it comes to cleanliness and politeness. These two can be had by any and all who may desire them. Come early to your next meeting which will be held at headquarters. Friday evening.

FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Saturday September 9th, 1916 The Champion Magazine has made its initial bow for public favor. If its initial number is an indication of the future ones, then its success is assured. The Tribune extends best wishes for success to its management, and commends the magazine to all readers of race literature. The strike called for last. Monday has been averted by Congress enacting an eight hour law for trainmen. This is one of the most illogical pieces of legislation ever passed by the national body. While it has averted the strike for the time being, it has not settled the matter. It is very doubtful as to its recognition by the railroads. --- The National League on Urban Conditions Aimong Negroes, with headquarters in New York, is making it possible for hundreds of our carpenters, bricklayers, machinists and other artisans to secure employment in the the North that have heretofore been closed to them. This work of the league should receive the unstinted commendation of our people all over the country. Those of our men who are placed by the league should so prove themselves as to become indispensable in every good way. In our last issue mention was made of the Lima, Ohio mob. This mob attempted to apprehend a colored man charged with beating a white woman. A few days after the occurrence, the grand jury was called and the result so far as the indictment of sixteen alleged members of the mob. Only three of the members have been released under bond. It is reported that at least one hundred more indictments will be made. The dailies in this section have taken keen delight in referring to this outbreak of outlawry, and justly too, but there is one thing in the favor of Lima, and that is the early action of the machinery of law, and the result so far. Mobsin the South are but seldom investigated, and when such investigations are held, they are without result. Before the South can gloat over the North or other sections of the matter of mob law, it must first, endeavor to use the strong arm of the law to apprehend the members of the mob as in the case at Lima. --- The meeting of the National Baptist Convention here this week has offered Savannahians a splendid opportunity of sizing up the leading ministers of the denomination whose numerical strength is upward of two and a half millions. It has been years, twenty or more, since the convention met here and in that time there has been a wonderful advance made by the leaders of this, the biggest Negro religious body in the country. The general tone of the convention is far above that of the previous meeting held here and the amount of intellectuality exhibited speaks well for the predominating religious body among us. In the methods of transacting business we see much improvement over twenty years ago and our every observation of the meetings has impressed us with the earnest desire on the part of the leaders to make the denomination all that it should be morally, spiritually and intellectually. The Tribune feels proud that such an estimable body of church workers should be meeting here in our city and we trust that the visitors are feeling at home in our midst. We feel that the result of the convention will be far reaching here, not only among the local Baptists but among the other denominations as well and that in its wake will come much lasting work of a constructive nature. tion being as to the minor officers. The convention went into election about an hour after President Morris' address, had been concluded. The election was orderly the quite spirited in some offices. President Morris was put into nomination by the Rev. A. Barbour, of Galveston, Tex., in a strong address. After the unanimous re-election of President Morris, the following officers were elected: W. G. Parks, D. D. Philadelphia, vice-president at large; Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala.; secretary; E. Arlington Wilson, Muskogee, Okla., T. O. Fuller, Ph. D., Memphis, Tenn., E. H. McDonald, St. Paul, Minn., J. M. Nabrit, Ga, assistant secretaries; A. J. Stokes, D. D. Alabama, treasurer, C. H. Parrish, D. D. Louisville, Ky., statistical secretary; Prof. M. M. Rodgers, Dallas, Tex., auditor; T. J. Ewing, Nashville, Tenn., and W. J. Latham, Jackson, Miss., attorney. Devotional exercises at the afternoon session were conducted by the Rev. J. B. Butler of Wichita, Ken., assisted by the Rev. C. C. Buford of Texas, and Rev. W. C. Brown or Florida. The night session Thursday brought to the front the Rev. Dr. R. T. Rollard, president of Selma University, Selma. Also, who delivered an excellent address on "The outlook of Foreign Mission Fields" Following the address came the annual missionary sermon by the Rev. R. D. Mayfield of Louisiana. During the day's session came the report of the Rev. J. B. Green, D. D., field secretary of the convention. This report with several others, was in pamphlet form and met ready purchasers at the hands of delegates eager for all the important information obtainable on the work of the convention. Another report received was that of the foreign mission board by Secretary L. G. Jordan. It told of the work in the West Indies, Jamaica and the Barbados, in the latter of which there have been over 500 persons converted to the Baptist faith through its work; in South America and in Africa. The educational work of the board was shown to have spread very widely during the past twelve months. In round figures the board showed that it has spent $307,000.00 in foreign missionaries during the years it has in this feature of church work. The report of the Baptist Young People's Union by the Rev. Isaac of Nashville, Tenn., was given yesterday morning. It showed this department of the work to have grown in large proportions during the past twelve months and that the young people are becoming more and more interested in this feature of the work. Last night was given over to an address by Principal R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute. A packed house greeted the successor to the lamented Booker T. Washington and his address was inspiring. It was President Moton's first trip here after becoming head of the great industrial school at Tuskegee. After the lecture last night Principal Moton was tendered abanquet at the Savannah Home Association's rooms. Yesterday afternoon a number of the delegates were taken on a boat ride around the harbor while others took in, the excursion to Tybee island to view the Atlantic ocean. The unveiling of the Lisle Memorial monument will be the principal feature of today's meetings. The exercises will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be concluded about 5 o'clock. The monument which will stand in front of the First Bryan Baptist church, is dedicated to George Lisle, the first Negro missionary to go from this country to foreign fields. The exercises will be very impressive and will be witnessed by a very large crowd. The program of the convention for today, Saturday and Monday is as follows: Saturday-Morning. 9:00 a. m.—Devotions by Rev. S. M. Twine, Oklahoma, Rev. H. K. Hill, D. D., Florida, A. C.

Walker, the well-known hair culturist of Indianapolis, Ind., is in the city attending the National Baptist Convention. While here she is the house guest of Miss R. G. Houston, at 506 Hartridge street. Madam Walker will lecture on the Negro woman in business to the convention the date set for the lecture will be announced later. Mme Walker is probably the most widely known Negro hair culturist in this country. She is a woman of considerable means and her preparations are on sale throughout the United States. The principal manufactory of her preparations is situated in Indianapolis, Ind., where she makes her home. Madam Walker is very much interested in the uplift of the Negro and in the campaign for funds by the Y. M. C. A. of her home she contributed $1,000.00. Any one wishing to see her on business will find her at the hair parlors, conducted by Mrs., Ethel Durden Young, 461 West Broad street, from 9 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. All women interested in beauty culture will do well to see Mme Walker while in the REV. STOKES AT EVERGREEN BAPTIST CHURCH Holyoke, Mass.—Another industrial opportunity for the Negro artisan is opened here in one of the largest establishments in this town and one of the biggest machinery plants in the country. Skilled men, familiar with the work in pattern shops, machine shops and foundry will be employed at wages ranging from $2.75 to $4.00 per day, and there will be opportunity to advance as high as $6 per day or more. Holyoke is a town of about 63,000 population, and there are only about ten colored families in the number. The corporation which is now offering this opportunity to the Negro machinist employs about 800 men, and of this number only two are colored. They have been with the company some four or five years, however, and not only is their work satisfactory to their employers, but the treatment received makes them perfectly satisfied. Urban League Applied To Urban League Applied To The corporation in question applied to John T. Clark, secretary of the industrial bureau of the National League for advice in regard to securing colored employees. Authorized by the league, Mr. Clarke has made a trip to Holyoke and given a day to personal investigation of conditions. He states that the proposition is ideal and offers one of the best opportunities yet opened for the Negro artisan. The company proposes to employ eventually at least two hundred colored men, if qualified workers can be found. Skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labor will be used, and the men employed will be given every opportunity to make good and to advance. The scale of wages offered by the company is liberal and conditions under which the work is done are as pleasant as is possible to make them. Unskilled is paid at the rate of 20 cents per hour, on a 10 hour-a-day basis. Semi-skilled and skilled labor will range from $2.75 to $4, and some of the men now employed are making $5 and $6 per day. The owners of this corporation declared to Mr. Clark that the colored employees will be accorded every opportunity to make good; that nothing will stop the colored man from qualifying for the same employment and the same wages as the white employee. But emphasis is laid on the fact that the success of this experiment will depend on the securing of a dependable class of men to accept these positions. The predominating influence in Holyoke is Irish-Catholic, and there has been in the past an undercurrent of prejudice against Negro labor. But four years ago the experiment was tried of using Negro labor and about ten colored men were brought in from the West. These men dropped into the work and not in the slightest degree has any friction arose. Their contact with the white men has been most amicable and friendly, and now the company is convinced that the better class of Negro labor can be used to advantage. Living conditions in Holyoke are good. The families here at this time are pleasantly and comfortably situated and are on the most friendly terms with their neighbors. Holyoke is a great manufacturing center, the paper industry being the dominating industrial factory. There is an ample supply of work the whole year round, at good wages, and the opening of this venture to the Negro laborer and artisan will mean much for the race as a whole. Employees for 25 years Among the 800 or more men now employed by the machine company that is making the effort to secure colored employees are fifty-two men who have been employed twenty-five or more years. The company is one of the oldest in this section of the country, and its plant is one of the largest in the United States. An advertisement in this paper calls attention to this opening, and Mr. Clark of the National Urban League, at 2303 Seventh avenue, New York City, is authorized to receive and pass upon applications for employment under this offer. He will give full information to all who apply to him, either in person or by mail.—New York Age. The Women's Missionary Society of the F. A. B. church with Mrs. E. M. Washington, president; Mrs. Lizzie E. Mixon, secretary, held their session at the F. A. B. church on last Sunday night, where a beautiful program was rendered. After the report of the secretary the papers were read.' Mrs. D. W. Bythewood, a delegate to the state convention which met in Anderson, S. C., in June made her report which shows what the women of the state are doing for the cause of missionary. Mrs. Spaulding sang a beautiful solo, after which Mrs. C. E. Blocker read a paper on local mission. Talks were made by Rev. Spaulding and Prof. Peterson. Much credit is due the president also Mrs. Mixon. Mr. Henry Delyons of this city has accepted a position in Atlanta in the tailoring line. Quite a large crowd left the city this week to attend the National Baptist Convention which will be held in Savannah this week where more than 8,000 delegates and visitors will be present from all parts of the country. Mrs. G. A. Paul of Claxton, Ga., is in the city, called here on a very sad mission, the death of her father, Mr. Toney Mole, who died Saturday August 26, at the home of his daughter. Mrs. Wm.

Mrs. Wm. Frazier gave us her subscription to The Tribune for one year. The Tribune will soon reach every Negro home in Beaufort. This has been a banner year for Beaufort for summer visitors.

We regret very much to have Capt Meyers leave his home city to go to another field of labor. Rev. Frazier, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Walterboro, S. C., was in the city this week attending the Sunday school convention of the Iresbyterian church held here. Beaufort high school will open September 25, the attendance this year will be the largest in the history of the school Dr. Y. W. Bailey was seen here this week circulating among the boys. Mr. Dan.

Walker is making a fine record at Naco, Arizona at the head of the First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, and his troops are regarded as the best on the border, irrespective to color. The District boys are guarding the water works at Naco. The Board of Education is to hold its first session this week, and the recommendations of Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce will be among the many things to be con- sidered. It can be given out that the points, brought to their attention by Mr. Bruce will be scrutinized with the utmost-care; and it will be difficult for even this astute disciple of Talleyrand to put anything over on the level-headed men and women who now constitute the board. ```markdown ``` The District Federation of Colored Women will assist the National Federation in maintaining the Douglass home. Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the local Federation, escorted the national delegation out to the home a few days ago, along with a big city delegation, and the place was thoroly examined. Miss Madre is author of the resolution adopted at Baltimore by the National Federation endorsing Hughes for president. Mr and Mrs. J. C.

Her range is a wide one, her runs smooth and nowing, trills light and delicate, low tones deep and full, and shading very artistic. She makes one forget himself in the realm of song. Miss Coleman comes to us for the first time but we are sure from past reputation she will more than please us. Miss Buggs is a pianist of no mean ability, possessing a beautiful, sympathetic touch together with a keen sense of the fine and delicate points of shading. She is said to be one of the most artistic of the graduates of the conservatory of Fisk University.

MEMORIAM MEMORIAL In sad but lasting memory of our beloved sister and friend, Mrs. Lucinda Simmons, who departed this life, September 5, 1912. We mourn for you dear one because we love you dearly. The vacant place you left us can never be refilled. We loved you dearly but Jesus loved you best. Sleep on and take thy rest. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Lydia Arnold, who departed this life September 3, 1914. To part with one, we loved so dear; Our loss is great we will not complain; But trust in God we will meet again. Dearest love one we have laid thee, In the peaceful grave's embrace; But thy memory will be cherished, Till we see thy loving face. We loved you, yes we loved you, But Jesus loved you best; And he sweetly called you. To His eternal rest. Yet again we hope to meet you, When the days of life are fled; There in-heaven with joy to greet you, Where we will never say farewell. Devoted and loving children Mrs. Anna Duncan Miss Ellen'Arnold Mrs. Rita A. Hillary Mrs. Hattie Myers, sister In loving memory of our dear boy, James Delburg Smith, who departed this life July 10, 1916.

C. Hush'd are the winds, and still the evening gloom, not even a zephyr wanders through the grove whilst we return in sadness to view our mother'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 arraign? And, madly, Godlike province accuse? Oh; no, far fly from us at accuse? Oh! no, fly far from us at to our God refuse, yet in remembrance of those virtues dear, yet fresh the memory of that bright face and in our hearts retain their wanted place. Mrs. Wm.

It often happens that the first chill winds catch us unprepared, and certainly there is nothing more upsetting than to realize that we had not given a thought to the coming of fall and were, consequently, not ready for the change of the weather. The autumn styles are already well established, so no one need be afraid to make her selection in suits and gowns early, for there is no danger that they will not be in good style later. The suit models that have come over from Paris are as attractive as they can be. The coats are mostly three-quarter length and some of them are shorter. They reach to the hips, the finger tips or the knees. The skirts are quite full; just as full as they were last fall, but not so flaring. The lines are straighter, as a rule, and the skirts just a trifle longer than they have J. MICCALL Long Suit Coats are Fashionable been worn in the past seasons. Strictly tailored suits, of course, do not have very wide or long skirts. Among the coat styles there are some Russian effects seen, which most women will be happy to learn. One of the favored models is fitted above the waist and quite full below it, and there are many variations of this idea. A suit that gives promise of being very well liked on account of its generally becoming lines is Illustrated here. It has deep pockets which are cut in one with the fronts of the coat, and a narrow belt going around the sides and back, but not the front. The skirt that completes this suit has pockets corresponding in cut to those of the coat. In the other suit shown here, there is a suggestion of the Empire style, the return of which we have been hearing so much about lately. It comes in a modified form, having a panel in the front and back, and is certainly most attractive. A wonderfully smart suit from Paris was made of navy blue gabardine, with a very long, full coat. The skirt also was very full. It extended up above the normal wastelline, where it was attached to a blouse of brown and black checked silk, and when thrown open the effect of the whole costume was very striking. Suit Fabrics and Colors There are charming suit materials for fall, which will perhaps make it difficult to decide on what to get. Besides the old stand-by serge, there is its staunch companion, gabardine; then there are wool poplin, wool velours, broadcloth, cheviot, mixtures, and many fancy twills and suitings. For dress wear, velvet, velveteen and satin will be very much in the foreground. The checked wool velours are very stylish in two tones as, for instance, black, and brown, tan and brown, and gray and brown. They are most practical too, for they wear very well. The fashionable self tones are navy blue, dark brown, green, taupe, gray, burgundy, and black. Did any woman fear that fur on her suit last winter would not be fashionable this year? If so, let her fear be turned to joy, for fur is to be used even more lavishly than it was last winter. The bands of fur on skirts are wider, the fur collars on coats, just as high, and the cuffs on the sleeves just as deep. Rabbit and skunk are the furs most commonly used, and there are also Hudson seal, beaver, fox, lynx, mozeszkin, andermine, all of which were used last winter. And not only on suits and cloaks is there to be used an aoundance of fur trimming, but also on evening gowns. Even the very sheerest fabrics, such as net, Georgette crepe and chiffon, are to be decorated with fur. A very © MCCALL A Modified Empire Style stunning evening dress or net had the skirt edged with a deep band of fur. The dress itself was elaborately beaded.

Stearns. This chapter tells of the completion of Paul's return journey to Jerusalem from his third missionary tour and of some of the happenings there after his return. Our lesson two weeks ago was his farewell to the elders of the church at Ephesus who came to Millet to meet him. Sailing by the south of the island of Cyprus, they landed at Tyre and, finding disciples, tarried there seven days. We may imagine what blessed fellowship they had in the word and in prayer and that wonderful farewell on the shore when men, women and children knelt in prayer. Knowing the message of the Spirit through the disciples that Paul should not go up to Jerusalem, they could scarcely refrain from feeling some anxiety about him, but they could only commit him to God, as they could not dissuade him from going on (verses 1-6). Continuing their voyage, we find them next at Caesarea at the home of Philip, the evangelist, one of the seven, whose four daughters did prophesy, and there they tarried many days, and again we may easily imagine the fellowship in the word and in prayer. We cannot think of Paul tarrying anywhere without speaking of Christ crucified, risen again, ascended, interceding and returning to set up His kingdom and always urging the believers to walk worthy of such a God and Saviour, who had called them to such a kingdom and glory and made them joint belts with Himself. While at the home of Philip a prophet from Judea named Agabus came and testified strongly by the Spirit that at Jerusalem Paul would certainly be bound and given into the hands of the gentiles. Therefore he was once more urged by the believers not to go, but his reply was that he was ready to be bound and to die also, for the name of the Lord Jesus (verses 7-13). At the time of his conversion the Lord told Ananias that Paul would be called upon to suffer great things, and on this journey to Jerusalem Paul was impressed that something unusual awaited him. Yet nothing moved him, and he counted not his life dear unto himself if only he might glorify God (chapters 1x, 15, 16; xx, 22-25; Phil, 4, 20). When he would not be persuaded even by the brethren at Caesarea to give up going to Jerusalem at this time they ceased pleading with him, saying, "The will of the Lord be done," and so the company went on their way to Jerusalem, accompanied by some disciples from Caesarea and an old disciple from Cyprus with whom they were to lodge (verses 14-16). When the spirit hindered Paul from going into Asia or Bithynia he yielded and obeyed (chapter xv, 6, 7). Was he obedient now or somewhat self willed, or was he simply bold and fearless in doing what he believed to be right, knowing that it was part of his calling to suffer for Christ's sake and he must not shrink from it? Subsequent events and the words in verse 4 "that he should not go up to Jerusalem" would seem to indicate that this time he was a bit self willed. But it is one of those things that I am waiting to have cleared up in the kingdom, meanwhile desiring for myself more of his fearless boldness and whole hearted devotion to the Lord. was part christ's sake in it? Sub- dies in verse up to Jeru- dicate that milled. But that I am in the king- for myself dness and the Lord. Im at Jeru- elders, and FOR CASE LIVINGSTO EVERY TUESDAY WED AND SATURDAY YOU CAN MAKE 1c GO FUR A glad welcome awaited him at Jerusalem from James and the elders, and as he declared in detail what things God had wrought among the gentiles by his ministry they glorified the Lord (verses 17-20). The record in verses 20-26 concerning the thousands of believing Jews who were zealous of the law and insisted upon circumcision and other customs for Jews who believed is to me another perplexity and does not look like the freedom wherewith Christ sets us free (John vill, 32-36; Gal. v, 1). The suggestion of James and the elders that Paul shall seek to conciliate these custom keeping Jews by joining in this vow with four other men does not seem like the leading of the Spirit or in accord with Paul's stand, "Not as pleasing men, but God, who trifle our hearts" (I Thess. ii, 4; Gal. i, 10). Neither did it work out as they had hoped that it would, but led to a riot which moved the whole city, causing Paul to be cast out of the temple and beaten as they went about to kill him, necessitating his rescue from their hands by the chief captain and his soldiers (verses 27-32). As the captain could not understand what the uproar was about nor who Paul was nor what he had done, for some cried one thing and some another, he caused him to be bound and carried into the castle. As he was being borne by the soldiers up the castle stairs because of the violence of the people he asked permission to speak to the chief captain, who was surprised that he could speak Greek, and asked if he was not an Egyptian leader of a band of murderers (verses 33-35). As our Lord Jesus was numbered with transgressors, we must not think it strange when we are treated the same way and falsely accused or misjudged. When Paul told who he was and asked permission to speak to the people the captain granted it to him (verses 39, 40). Speaking of himself as a citizen of no mean city, reminds us of our citizenship (Phil. ii, 20, 21) and its privileges and responsibilities.

STATE AND DRAYTON STS. near court house Works, 25 E. STATE STREET Phone 3423 By E. H. Webster, Principal Normal Dept., Atlanta University ```markdown ``` When W. E. Burglardt DuBois, colored, graduate student at Harvard University, in the Department of Sociology, chose as his doctorate thesis, "The Suppression of the African Slave trade", he thought he had a problem that would require about six weeks of hard work. But as the problem opened before him, the six weeks lengthened into three years; the study took him on a traveling fellowship into France and Germany for two years. When the study was completed, and the thesis written, and accepted, and published as one of the Harvard Historical Monographs, and the author had received the Doctor of Philosophy, the book, "The Suppression of the African Slave Trade", was and is, and will remain a masterpiece of historical writing, and a statement of a portion of history which, perhaps, will never need to be rewritten. It is a monument of historical research. The same is not true of the new volume by the same author, entitled, "The Negro", and issued a year ago by Henry Holt and Co., as volume 91 of their Home University Library. (50c). Nor does the little book make any pretense to being exhaustive. In his preface, the author says: "The time has not come for a complete history of the Negro people. Archeological research in Africa has just begun, and many sources of information in Arabian, Portuguese, and other tongues are not fully commanded, and too, it must be frankly confessed, racial prejudice against the darker people is still too strong in so-called civilized centers for judicial appraisement of the darker peoples of Africa. Much intensive monographic work in history and science is needed to clear gooted points, and to quiet the controversialist who mistakes present personal desire for scientific proof." Yet, within the limitation which Dr. Indiana recognizes, and states, and while not writing a history of the Negro people, for which neither the material nor the time are ready, the author shows that there is a history, and that it is a creditable one. And this it seems to the writer, is the distinct purpose of the book. The Negro has a historic background. The Negro himself, has doubted this; even his friends have doubted; while those distinctly unfriendly toward him have been sure of it. The trouble with Africa is both physiographic and climatic. It is a great plateau, lying across the Torrid zone; with only four great rivers reaching the ocean, and only one of the navigable from the mouth; with a coast line with few indentations; these conditions have made it easily possible for the great human drama played here to hide itself from the ears of other world; and placed practically every budding center of culture at the mercy of barbarians, sweeping a thousand miles with no Alps, or Himalayas, or Appalachians to hinder." It is a curious fact, that of all the people of antiquity that appear upon the pages of history, the only ones that have persisted through the wrecks of time" are the Jews and the Negroes. And it if the one can solace themselves with the history of David and of Solomon, and the Jewish contribution of the monotheistic idea to the civilization of the world; the other may comfort themselves with the thought that there was a Kingdom of Ethiopia, which modified and for a century controlled Egypt, and left evidences of its control in the monuments that line the Nile valley. Nor need the Negro fail to recognize that Africa made its contribution to civilization; for our author quotes Boaz: "It seems likely that at the time when the European was still satisfied with stone tools, the African had invented and adopted the smelting of iron. * * * A great progress was made when copper was found in nuggets large enough to be hammered into tools and later on was shaped by smelting, and when bronze was introduced; but the true advancement of industrial life, did not begin until the hard iron was discovered. It seems not unlikely that the people who made the marvellous discovery of reducing iron ores by smelting were the African Negroes." One sentence in the book will stagger most readers. (p. 144) "Remembering that in the fifteenth century there was no great disparity between the civilization of Negroland and that of Europe, what made the striking difference in subsequent development?" The phrase "in the fifteenth century there was no great disparity between the civilization of Negroland and that of Europe", will cause some people to smile; it will make others question themselves as to what they know of the civilization of the fifteenth century, either in Europe or in Africa. The chapter in this little book upon "African Culture" will illustrate the one. One might have to look far to find a chapter so illuminating upon the other. But the author's answer to the question runs as follows: "European civilization, cut off by physical barriers from further incursions of barbaric races, settled down more and more to systematic industry and to the domination of one religion; African culture and industries were threatened by powerful barbarians from the west and central regions of the continent and by the Moors in the north; and Islam had only partly converted the leading peoples. * * * When, therefore, a demand for workmen arose in America, European exportation was limited by religious ties and economic stability. African exportation was encouraged not simply by the Christian attitude toward heathen, but also by the Moslem emity toward the unconverted Negroes. Two great modern religious agreed at least in the policy, of enslaving the heathen blacks, while the overthrow of the Askias (powerful and highly developed Negro nation) by the Moors * * * brought about the economic chaos among the advanced Negro peoples and the movement among the more barbarous tribes which proved of prime advantage in the development of a systematic trade in men." The chapter on "The Trade in Men" is sad reading. How many promising civilizations have been wiped out by the hinds of barbarians. There comes to mind the story of the Illinois Indians settled upon a beautiful island in the Illinois River, where they had developed many of the arts of the agricultural stage. In the last part of the eighteenth century, a band of Frognians suddenly appeared; and in the seige of "Starved Rock", with the exception of one Indian Brave who leaped from the rock into the river below and swam to safety, the entire company of twelve hundred was put to the knife, and one of the most hopeful of Indian beginners was utterly wiped out. But in Africa it was not a few hundreds. It was millions. It was not a ho-tile tribe. It was Chi-tianity united with Islam-m. "It was not bronze metal but bronze flesh that Europe wanted." A new tyranny, bloodthirsty, cruel, and built on war forced itself toward the Niger delta. * * * The native industries were changed and disorganized. Family ties and government were weakened. Far into the heart of Africa this devilish disintegration, coupled with Christian rum and Mohammedan raiding, penetrated. The face of Africa was turned south to those slave traders, instead northward toward the Mediterranean, where for two thousand and years and more Europe and Africa had met in legitimate trade and mutual respect. The full significance of the battle of Tenkabidon, which overthrew the Aksias, was now clear. Hereafter, Africa was to appear before the world, not as the land of gold and ivory, of Mansa Musa and Merce, but as a bound and captive slave, dumb and degraded. The natural desire to avoid a painful subject has led his historians to gloss over the details of the slave trade, and leave the impression that it was a local west-coast phenomenon and confined to a few years. It was on the contrary, continent wide and centuries long, and an economic, social and political catastrophe probably unparalleled in human history." The by-product of slavery was perhaps worse than the slave trade itself. "The number of slaves exported is not known." Dunbar estimates that in four centuries fifteen millions were brought to America. One author says: "Certainly it seems that at least ten millions were expatriated. Probably every slave imported represented an average of five corpse in Africa or on the high seas. The American slave trade, therefore, meant the elimination of at least sixty million (60,000,000) Negroes from their fatherland. The Mohammedan slave trade meant the expatriation or forebide migration in Africa of nearly as many more. It would be conservative, then, to say that the slave trade cost Africa one hundred million (100,000,000) souls. And yet people ask today the cause of the stagnation of culture in that land since 1600!" The chapter on "The Negro in The United States" deals with the question "from the view point of the Negro group itself, and seeks to show what slavery meant to them, how they reacted against it, what they did to secure their freedom, and what they are doing with their partial freedom today." It is not easy to read Southern History from Southern writers, or Southern literature without sympathy for the South in the destruction of its social and economic system. It is well, therefore, that the history of the Negro in the United States should be presented from the standpoint of the Negro himself. If Southern society went to pieces because of the Civil war, what as to the overthrow of the African social usages and economic life because of slavery. "The tran-planting of the Negro" THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE says Dr. DuBols, "from his African clean life to the West Indian plantation was a social revolution. Marriage became geographical and transient, while women and girls were without protection. The private home as a self-protective, independent unit did not exist. That powerful institution, the polygamous African home, was almost completely destroyed and in its place in America, arose sexual promiscuity, a weak community life, with common dwelling, meals, and child nurseries. The internal slave trade teued further to weaken natural ties. A small number of favored house servants and artisans were raised above this—had their private homes, came in contact with the culture of the master, and assimilated much of American civilization. This was, however, exceptional; broadly speaking, the greatest social effect of slavery was to substitute for the polygamous Negro's home a new polygamy, less guarded, less effective, and less civilized." As to the mooted question, which of the two views of American slavery is correct, our author remarks, "Both are true. They are not opposite sides of the same shield. They are different shields. There are pictures on the one hand, of the house servant in the great country seats and in the towns, and on the other land, of the field laborers who raised they great tobacco, cotton and rice crops. * It was the milder and far different Virginia house service and the personal retainership of town life in which most white children grew up; it was that impressed their imaginations and which they portray so vividly. The Negroes, however, knew the other side, for it was under the harsher, heartless driving of the fields that fully nineteenth of them lived." The discussion of reconstruction from the Negro standpoint is suggestive and interesting reading. Flemming, in his History of Reconstruction in Alabama, writes: "To the rich, hereditary slave holders, who were relatively few in numbers, it was more or less a matter of property, and that was enough to fight about at that time. But to the average white man, who owned no Negroes and who worked for his living as manual labor, the question was a vitally social one. The Negro slave was bad enough; but the Negro freed by outside interference and turned loose on society was much more to be feared." While this feel was doubtless a factor in the situation at the close of the war, it is a matter always to be regretted that the South could not or did not accept the logical results of the war. Perhaps they could not. If this was so, then the story of the last half-century had to be as it was. At this point the author writes: "Quite unexpectedly and without forethought the nation had emancipated four million slaves. Once the deed was done, the majority of the nation was glad and recognized that this was, after all, the only result of a fearful four years' war which in any sense justified it. But how was the result to be secure for all times? There were three possibilities: (1) to declare the slaves free and leave them at the mercy of their former masters; (2) to establish a careful government guardian-ship, designed to guide the slaves from legal to real economic freedom; (3) to give the Negro a political power to guard himself as well as he could during the development. It is easy to forget that the United States tried each one of these in succession, and was literally forced to adopt the third, because the first had failed utterly, and the second was thought too paternal and especially too costly. To leave the Negroes helpless after a paper edict of emancipation was manifestly impossible. It would have meant that the war had been fought in vain." The author's discussion of the Freedman's Bureau and the whole problem of reconstruction is sane. He neither minifies nor magnifies the situation. To the charge of extravagance on the part of the Negro governments, he writes: "The extravagance, the great, was not universal, and much of it was due to the extravagant spirit pervading the whole country in a day of inflated currency and speculation." This finds an interesting affirmation in a sentence in Flemmings' History, (quoted above) "All sense of value had been lost, which may account for the fabulous and fictitious prices in the South for several years after the war; and the liberality of appropriations of the first legi-lature after the surrender which in small matters was severely economical. The legi-lators had been accustomed to making appropriations of thousands and even millions of dollars, with no question as to where the money was to come from, for the state had three public printers to print money." One is tempted to quote fully from the book upon this topic of Reconstruction. Resisting this, it may be said, that on the whole the Negroes need not be a-hamed of the work done by the Negro government immediately after the war. Of the whole South, the author writes: "It still preferred a reign of terror to a campaign of education, and disfranchised Negroes instead of punishing rascals." The constructive work of the Negro governments deserves more than word. They gave the South three things: Democratic government, free public schools, new social legislation. More than this, in legislation covering property, the wider functions of the state, the punishment of crime and the like, it is sufficient to say that the laws on these points established by the reconstruction legislatures were not only different from and revolutionary to the laws of the older South, but they were so wise and so well suited to the needs of the new South, that in spite of the retrogressive movement following the overthrow of the Negro governments, the mass of this legislation, with the elaborations and developments, still stands upon the statute books of the South." The history since the "trumph of reaction in the South" is so recent that it need not be dwelt upon in this review. To the writer of this review, the legislation of the reaction and since aimed at the Negro seems "class legislation", and therefore abhorrent to the spirit and letter of the Constitution. Perhaps the present is too close to the era of Reconstruction for a judicial appraisement. Heretofore, we have had the Northern point of view, and the Southern point of view. Now we have the Negro point of view; and the student of this time will have to consider all three points of view, if he is a student. Meanwhile, the story of the progress of the Negro read-like romance, and if one wishes the figures are well epitomized in this volume. Heretofore, the case of the Negro has been started for him. Now the Negro has his own spokesman. And this particular book should enlighten every colored man who somehow has been made to feel that there is a certain stigma in color. In one of the sermons of my boyhood, the preacher remarked, "The Mohammedan wars in Europe ended when the followers of Christ and the followers of Mohammed learned to respect each other." Similarly, we may expect the present war in Europe to end when the Teutons and the Allies have learned mutual respect. So in the South, the problem of the South will find its right adjustment when the Southern white man and the Southern colored man learn thus to respect each other. Perhaps out of the European conflict, we shall learn some lessons; and if Europe is to become more democratic, perhaps the Southern states of the United States will not be left behind.

He has led the nation into a state of Jim-crowdism that it will take years to eradicate after it shall have eradicated him from the White House. The West is a fine, free country and I would advise our young men to go West and make their money and save it and become a part of the people and country. In Chicago the men and women can vote and take a part in the political interests of the city, country and state. Where men can vote they will be respected; here in this state we cannot vote, hence we are not respected. In Chicago there are many colored police and colored men in other positions—even assistant city attorney—here we cannot have a job to wash the elephant in the zoo, and why, because we cannot vote—because we have not got white Republicans with back bone enough to stand up and put our city, county and state tickets and break up this white primary. Young men go where you can be a man, and after getting there, be sure you act the man. I saw some young men in Chicago who were making good money, but were living too fast for their own good or any body else's. Our educated young men ought to go West, East, North and to foreign countries and especially to the countries of South America. If I were a young man I would remain in America just long enough to purchase a ticket to get out. We must learn to do as other races, and that is, leave home—branch out and let down our nets on the other side. Four great railroad labor organizations played the winning card on the Democratic Congress and Senate and President last week. These unions representing four hundred thousand voters simply walked up to the White House and demanded an eight hour day with a ten hour pay and got it. They knew the trick would turn at this time when votes were wanted. This country or any other country infected with labor unions is in a serious condition. These organizations are in a position to run, rule or ruin a government in twenty-four hours. What the government should have done, instead of bowing down and passing the eight hour law, was to pass a law disbanding all labor unions and forever hereafter giving all laborers an opportunity to work for whom they desire and thereby forever doing away with all strikes. This is what must be done in this country and all other countries infected with labor unions or they are ruined so far as government is concerned. This government is practically unable to govern itself. It is at the mercy of the dictates of labor unions and owing to the poor educational facilities in many of the states, the majority of the members of the unions are not very high in the scale of the science of government. Hence one can easily see what will be the fate that falls into the hands of inexperienced and uneducated officials. We are having a fore taste of that in many of our Southern city governments today. The man in one of our Southern cities that introduced the segregation ordinances (and he could not write it) was a poor, ignorant brewery engineer elected to the council by the labor unions. Unless the United States takes hold of its affairs as a national government soon and proceeds to administer them, it is doomed before the expiration of another fifty years. But who will "bell the cat?" What party will pass such a law? Not the Democrats, not the Republicans and not the progressives; it must be done by a party yet unborn—a party that believes in a government of the people, for the people and by the people—all the people. We hope this baby will soon be born or the mother will soon be too weak to nurse him. } DELEGATES OFF FOR B. M. C. At 11 o'clock this morning the delegates from Savannah to the Odd Fellows' B. M. C., which meets in Washington, D. C., next week, will leave over the Southern railway and connect with the Georgia special at Charlotte, N. C. Several out-of-town persons will join the local delegation and go from this point. Washington will be the scene of much activity next week as several thousand of the members of the order will be in attendance upon the B. M. C. The session this year is lacking of the enthusiasm that has heretofore been injected, especially so in this state since the revocation of the Georgia Odd Fellows' grand lodge charter. It is claimed that efforts will be brought to bear to have the much mixed up affairs of the order in this state given consideration. Arrangements have been made for headquarters for the Georgia delegation where, upon their arrival, they will assemble to elect a chairman. Dr.B. W. S. Daniels of this city is spoken of for the position and will probably be selected. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Philip, celebrated her ninth birthday last Friday. The little folks played and enjoyed themselves.

Miss Katie Blake, having been confined to her home on account of illness, is able to be out again. Labor day was observed in this city and many excursionists from surrounding places took in the enjoyment. Mr. Willie Stevens of New York, after spending a short while in the city the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Burney, has returned home Mrs. Fannie Dawson, who has been spending a while on the clay hills of Georgia, returned home after a pleasant stay. Mrs. C. K. Pierce is up after being confined to her bed a few days. Rev. Taylor, the newly called pastor of the First A. B. Church, filled his pulpit last Sunday.

O Mrs. Addie Grant is confined to her home on account of illness. Mrs. E. J. Graham of Sarannah is visiting Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Burroughs. While quite a number of Georgia people are-going north we are proud to say that Brunswick people who went to New York last spring are returning home to labor and spend their money on Georgia soil. Miss Moellieree Edwards and Miss Cassie Thomas of Albany are guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson. Mr. Chris Short and son of Jacksonville, Fla., were visitors to the city last week.
