The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI ODD FELLOWS IN QUIET SESSION EDW. H. BURKE OF SAVANNAH ELECTED AUDITOR Over 3,000 Present Grand Master Morris Promises Early Adjustment of Georgia Affairs Washington, D. C.—The Eighteenth Biennial Movable Committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America passed into history in this city on last Saturday morning after one of the most harmonious sessions ever held by this body. With about three thousand delegates and visitors in attendance upon the convention Washington had taken on a true appearance of a conventional city and the illustrated streets and decorations made it a very beautiful scene. There were delegates here from almost every state in the union, and the nation's capitol sang praises for the manner in which the visitors conducted themselves. The committee on arrangements were united in their efforts in looking out for the care and comforts of the strangers and any part of the city that one would venture into, they were warmly received. Never, before has such interest been taken by a community as on this occasion. Beginning on Sunday morning every train from the North, East, South and West brought in throngs of people and by night the city was crowded with a jolly bunch of Odd Tellows and Ruthites. The scene here during the convention week is indescribable and the different amusements for the enter- A. B. EDWARD HOWARD BURKE Of Savannah, Elected Grand Auditor tainment of the visitors were numerous. Much interest was shown the Georgia delegation which numbered about one hundred and seventy-six. The delegation selected as its chairman, R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, Ga., and as its secretary, Ed H. Burke of Savannah, Ga. The officers along with Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of Savannah and A. Graves of Atlanta, made it possible to obtain an audience with the SubCommittee of Management which visited the delegation headquarters and spoke encouragingly to the body relative to the affairs of the order in that state. The outlook of the situation as outlined by Grand Master Morris will in short be adjusted. Every delegate from Georgia in attendance upon the B. M. C., seemed to have been working toward one aim and that was the adjusting of the tangled matter in which the Odd Fellows of that state are now involved. Georgia was well represented on the various committees as follows: On Propositions—J. D. Powell, of Savannah. On visiting Grand Household—W. W. Cooper, Savannah. On Grand Master's Address—R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta. On Visiting Grand Master's Council—Morgan Williams of Atlanta. On visiting schools—W. L. Hughes of Dublin. The selection of Edward Howard Burke of Savannah, as one of the Grand Auditors was almost unanimous. He lead in the polling of votes against the other three candidates in the field, namely, J. M. Miller of New Jersey, Dr. C. C. Johnson of South Carolina and W. H. Mixon of Alabama; the latter withdrawing from the race after the vote of Georgia had been cast solidly for the candidate from that state. Burke was placed Colored Congress Meets Next Month TO VOICE FEELINGS OF NEGROES ON SURROUNDING CONDITIONS Meeting Will be Held in John Wesley Church, Washington, D. C. Hilburn, N. Y., September 12, In August, as president of the National Equal Rights League, President Byron Gunner issued a call for its 8th annual meeting. Included in that call was an appeal to Negroes in all sections to come together in a National Congress of Colored Americans to voice the feelings and views of the race on the shameful conditions surrounding them and to decide upon the most effective way and means for combating color segregation and all the other forms of color discrimination now experienced. The formal call is made for the 9th annual meeting of the National Equal Rights League and for the National Citizenship Rights Congress of Colored Americans, to convene, the Congress on Wednesday and Thursday and the league on Friday, Oct, 4, 5 and 6, in Washington, D. C., at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, N. W. In issuing the call for the congress President Gunner says, among other things: The passion of liberty, and the determination to have it for ourselves, seem to be growing among us. Our people seem, as never before, to be waking up to the need and importance of earnest co-operation. "During these sad days of universal unrest among all other groups of people, while the great world of humanity is fermenting, institutions are being weighed in the balance, revolutions are in progress, public sentiment is being formed, and governments are in progress of re-organization, is a most fitting time for the scattered leaders of ten millions of oppressed Colored Americans to get together and impress the public mind with the fact of our growing determination not to remain "half slave" in this country. But we cannot do this without unity of plan and heartiness in co-operation." in nomination with a ringing speech by Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, also from Georgia and seconded by the Louisiana delegation. He lost one state during the balloting; Alabama casting seven votes for Mixon. R. L. Pharrow chairman of the delegation, was untiring in his efforts to bring about good results for Georgia. Mrs. R. L. Barnes of Savannah was a prominent figure in the meeting of Grand Houshold and took an active part in its proceedings. She was a member of the committee that brought fraternal greetings to the B. M. C. The sessions of the B. M. C. were held in Convention Hall and were presided over by Grand Master Edward H. Morris of Chicago, Ill., while the sessions of the Grand Household were held at Vermont Baptist Church and were presided over by Most Worthy Grand Superior Mrs. Mary A. Parker of Washington, D. C. Five thousand persons packed Convention hall on Monday morning to witness the public exercises and the reception of visitors. From early morning the streets were the scene of much activity by the hundreds of people who were wending their way to the place of meeting. At the appointed hour for the opening of the exercise the house was called to order and after prayer was offered by Rev. William J. Howard, D. D., Dr. John C. Norwood, the presiding officer, introduced Hon? Louis Brownlow, commission of the District of Columbia, who delivered the address of welcome. The response was made by Dr. William Pickens, Dean of Morgan College, Ind. Other addresses of welcome and responses were delivered. At the conclusion of the program the house was turned over to Grand Master Morris who proceeded to make arrangements for the opening of the business session on Tuesday morning. The secretaries elected for the B. M. C. were Chas. F. Smith of Illinois and J. S. Deroach of Florida. Grand Secretary James F. Needham was made chairman of the credential committee. The B. M. C., then accepted the house of meeting from 10:00 a. m. to 3 p. m. and then adjourned until Tuesday morning. The B. M. C. re-convened Tuesday morning with Grand Master Morris presiding and immediately settled down to business.

Soots of the continent will call for men, will be ravished of her long-estiny to meet the need of the hour in order to have the Negro in the South. The life, by centuries of living in it, to wealthily during the long summers has been with us so long that our agricultural structure has been the only labor we have, it is the—if we lose it, we go bankrupt! seems to be asleep about what is. That is, everybody but those far corners recently to find every Negro Cleveland, to Pittsburg, to Chicago, bitter treatment, higher pay—the hard by thousands of them about us.

Most pressing thing before this state is and judgeships are only bagatelle of this Negro exodus going on in Iowa with winter coming on, but the volume, unless something is done at oath. "Police officers, county and city, all over the state, all over the South, should be beading every effort to apprehend and jail the labor agents now operating everywhere about us to take the best of our Negroes North to fill the rapidly widening labor breach there. This invasion of the South for Negroes isn't just a temporary raiding of our labor market, but is a part of a well-thought-out and skillfully executed plan to rifle the entire South of its well-behaved, able-bodied Negro labor. Unskilled labor is at a high premium in the United States just now, a premium that will increase rather than be withdrawn. "The North and East and West every year absorb uncounted thousands of strong, industrious males into its great unskilled labor crucible. For many, many years, for generations in fact, it has been getting its supply from the steady stream that has poured through Ellis Island, eager-eyed, hopeful and friendly, to win fortune, liberty and independence in the "land of the free". But they aren't coming through Ellis Island, and more. They're killing them in Europe too fast to allow any immigration from any of those countries, and with over two years of this steady supply cut off, the only available labor market on the continent has been turned to—the Negroes of the South. "There are those who say they'll come back quickly enough. But that isn't true. Ellis Island will not clear labor into this country again for at least one generation, possibly two. England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Balkans, even Russia will have such a famine in men at the close of this war they will be forced to put up the bars and forbid labor of any sort to leave their lands for the world haven across the seas. So year after year the labor markets of the continent will call for men, and year after year the South will be ravished of her long-established, ideally fitted labor supply to meet the need of the hour in other parts. "We must have the Negro in the South. The black man is fitted by nature, by centuries of living in it, to work contentedly, effectively and healthily during the long summers of semi-tropical countries. He has been with us so long that our whole industrial, commercial and agricultural structure has been built on a black foundation. It is the only labor we have; it is the best we possibly could have—if we lose it, we go bankrupt!" "Everybody seems to be asleep about what is going on right under our noses. That is, everybody but those farmers who have waken up on mornings recently to find every Negro over 21 on his place gone—to Cleveland, to Pittsburg, to Chicago, to Indianapolis. Better jobs, better treatment, higher pay—the bait held out is being swallowed by thousands of them about us. And while our very solvency is being sucked out from underneath we go about our affairs as usual—our police raid poolrooms for "loafing Negroes", bring in twelve, keep them in the barracks all night and next morning find that ten of them have steady, regular jobs were there merely to spend an hour in the only indoor recreation they have; our county officers hear of a disturbance at a Negro resort and bring in fifty odd men, women and boys and girls to spend the night in jail to make bond at ten per cent to hire lawyers, to mortgage half of two months' wages to get back on their jobs Monday morning—although but a bare half dozen could have been guilty of the disorderly conduct. It was a week following that several Macon employers found good Negroes, men trained to their work, secure and respected in their jobs, valuable assets to their white employers, suddenly left and gone to Cleveland, "where they didn't arrest fifty niggers for what three of 'em done." Many of these men who left haven't been replaced except with those it will take years to train to do their work as well as they did it—but at as high a cost from the start. "It is the most pressing thing before this state today. Matters of governorships and judgeships are only bagatelle compared to the real importance of this Negro exodus going on in Georgia. There is a little Jull now with winter coming on, but the spring will see it set in in full volume, unless something is done at once to stop it—Macon Telegraph.

Of course to rid itself of its dark-skin an asset that could well be spare open confession of the value of hope that if the realization of it shall go far enough, its effect williliar phases of this problem. cause large employers of unskilled laborsylvania Railroad, for instance, has The "Negro problem" of the South appears to be how to keep the Negro rather than how to get rid of him. Of course, the South never really wanted to rid itself of its dark-skinned population; they have been an asset that could well be spared. But just now there is more open confession of the value of the Negro, encouraging a faint hope that if the realization of the black man's economic worth shall go far enough, its effect would be seen in the more familiar phases of this problem. It is all because large employers of unskilled labor in the North, such as the Pennsylvania Railroad, for instance, have been making considerable drafts on the Southern supply of cheap workers, in lieu of the alien crew which has been depleted by the call of war, and has not been recouped because of the embargo on emigration from Europe. Strangely enough, Georgia, notorious for its lynching bees, where it might be supposed they were anxious to be rid of the Negro, is loudest in its protest, and is seeking recourse in law to prevent Northern advertising for its workers. So numerous has the movement become that one Southern Journal, the "Picayune", of New Orleans, describes it as "demoralizing" in labor circles, and expresses the fear that there will not be cheap labor enough in the South to take care of the current crops. Moreover, while the present trend is abnormal in its dimensions, it has in it much of permanency, and steadily the South is exchanging native black labor for the sons and daughters of Europe and to that extent is changing the lines of its sociological and economic problems. Competition with the North in the matter of wages is a comparatively simple matter for the South if it wants to retain the black man, if that were all there were to it. But there are other phases of opportunity which the North offers, even though they do not measure up to the ideal of racial equality, which the South Play For Dual State Championship EUREKAS AND JACKSONYILLE BEGIN SERIES MONDAY Amateur Title of Georgia and Florida At Stake In a series of three games beginning Monday, the Eurekas of this city and the Jacksonville, Fla. Giants will meet at League Park for the championship of Georgia and Florida. The games are attracting wide attention and no doubt a record breaking crowd will be on hand to see the winners of the local Negro Social Clubs league which ended last week battle with the fast aggregation from the Florida metropolis. The Eurekas have lost no opportunity to get in first class trim for the contest with the Jacksonville boys and Manager, Henry Howell, the premier player of this year's local season, expects to have his boys returned on the long end of the contest. As he is in possession of two of the best amateur slabman in the state, Lockhart and Hampton, he feels that his chance for coping the dual state championship is excellent though he realizes that the Glants will invade Savannah with one of the best teams seen here for some years. There is but one weak spot on the local team and this has been plugged up and the aggregation as a whole which will face the Florida team will be the most formidable one that it is possible to assemble here. Manager Howell has not selected his slabman for the opening game, but in all likelihood he will be Hampton in his experience against the crack semi-pro teams around Pennsylvania, where he pitched for several years, will stand him in good stead in going up against the fast Jacksonville crowd. The games which will be played Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, will begin promptly at 4 p.m. The general admission price will be 15 cents, ladles being admitted to the grand stand free while an extra price is required of the men to occupy seats in the big shed. Special car service to the ball park has been promised the management and every convenience possible will be placed at the command of the large crowds which will be in attendance at the games. BEACH INSTITUTE OPENS MONDAY OCTOBER 2nd Beach Institute will open Monday, October 2nd, at 9 o'clock. The following teachers have been appointed: L. M. Rowland, principal and teacher of Latin and Pedagogy; Miss Jessie E. Martin, English, History and Bible; Miss Jennie L. Norton, mathematics, physics, and chemistry; Miss Ethel F. Heilemann, music; Miss Helen Treat, domestic arts; Mrs. Mary E. Harper, grades five and six; Mrs. L. M. Rowland, matron. Beach Institute is under the direct control of the American Missionary Association, whose officers appoint the teachers and appropriate funds for the payment of salaries and for equipment and maintenance. The school is not sectarian but is distinctly Christian. Beach Institute is not a competing school. Its aim is to give the young people necessary training not provided elsewhere. In keeping with this purpose the high school courses have been revised and enlarged. As before stated the seventh and eighth grades are organized and taught with the high school, virtually making the high school course one of six years, beginning with the seventh grade and ending with the twelfth. Enough pupils still apply for admission to the fifth and sixth grades to warrant their continuance. Grades one, two, three and four are given up altogether. The college preparatory course is ample in its scope to meet the requirements for admission to any college for students. This course is made part of the curriculum, so that students living in Savannah can prepare for collegiate work here at a small fraction of what it would cost elsewhere. For the benefit of those who may wish to take this course, the studies of the eleventh and twelfth years may be changed, so far as it is practicable, to meet the special requirements of any college. Beginning with Monday, September 25. the principal will be at his home, 512. Harris street, east, every afternoon and evening and will be pleased to confer with parents and students; in regard to school work. NUMBER 46 ADMISSION CARDS NEXT SATURDAY WILL BE PRESENTED AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS Schools Open Oct. 2 Usual Rush For Seats Looked For on Saturday Admission cards to the public schools of the city will be given out next Saturday morning between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 m. Of course it is to be expected that there will be the usual rush by parents to get their children admitted to the schools and they are advised to be at the schools on time as the number who wish to enter school will be far in excess of the seats available. Cards of admission will be given out at all of the four public schools. Most of the public school teachers of the system who have been away for the summer have already returned to the city and those who are still-out of town will be back for the meeting with the superintendent which will be held Friday morning at the Cuyler street school. The schools will all open Monday, October 2nd. REOPENING OF THE CONGREGATIONAL FREE KINDERGARTEN The Congregational, Free Kindergarten will reopen on Monday morning October 2; in the annex of the First Congregational Church. This will be its second term. Miss Lucille Spencer will be in charge., assisted by Miss Rosa Mae Williams. These young ladies have done excellent work during the past term and is better prepared to excel the same. The kindergarten is conducted under the auspices of the Congregational Brotherhood, composed of men of the church, with assistance only from the A. M. A. Connected with the kindergarten is a mothers' auxiliary which assists in the social service feature of the Brotherhood's work. Parents wishing to enter their children may see Miss Spencer at 216 East Park Avenue. Preference will be given the children from the more humble homes, especially where parents are unable to care for them. MISS JONES TAKING SPECIAL COURSE AT HOWARD During the summer Miss Mildred Jones, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. F. F. Jones, attended the University of Pennsylvania where she took a kindergarten course. On account of close application to her studies and remarkable ability displayed, she was awarded a diploma setting forth these facts. Leaving Philadelphia, Miss Jones went to Washington, D.C. where she entered the Teachers' Training College of Howard University for a special course, to better herself for this work should she decide to take it up. AT THE Y. M. C. A.—DR. B. W. S. DANIELS TO BE SPEAKER On last Sunday a very interesting meeting was had. The principal address was delivered by Prof. L. B. Thompson of the Ga. State College, who gave a splendid description of labor conditions in the North as they affect our people and as he observed them in his recent trip through the North. It was indeed encouraging to the audience to learn from Prof. Thompson that, as a whole, our people are leaving these parts for Northern states and are making good. On tomorrow another message on the North is promised in the address of Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, the well-known and popular physician, who has just returned from Washington, D. C., where he addressed the B. M. C., of the Odd Fellows, and other Eastern points. It will pay to hear Dr. Daniels on tomorrow. The meeting will begin promptly at 5 p. m. Additional subscriptions to the X. M. C. A. building fund: Writers S. S. St. Louis $10.00 Mr. John McIntosh, Jr., $5.00; Mr. John Law $1.00; Mr. A. Kimbrough, $1.00.

There is a quiet dignity and simplicity about the styles, in which we notice that Fashion has taken moderation to be her watch- word. At least for a awhile—who can say for how long?—she seems to have given up everything that savors of ex- uggeration. Having realized that the extreme shortness of the skirts was too exaggerated, she has ordered that skirts shall be longer. The average Jength of the skirt today_is about six inches from the floor. There are some ; ( The Straight. Lines of the. New Aulhouette Paris houses which have gone to the other extreme, howerer, and have made dresses and skirts that reach the floor, but the majority of them have struck 2 happy medium, and it is not at all likely that the days of trailing skirts will come back’ again. Dresses, too are free from that ex- travagant flare which characterized’ them before, an dfor the attainment of which we often had to resort to artificial means, This season the flare is conspicuous for its absence, one might say, for most of the dresses hang in straight, soft folds. Nothing has been taken from the width of the skirts, They are just as ample and the skirt that measured from three to three and a half yards around the hem is still considered a conservative width. Straight Lines Favored Although the straight effects predom- inate in the more practical styles, in nfternoon and evening dresses there aire some soft draperies to he seen. ‘Apron effects, too, in the form of soft pleated or gathered bits of the ma- terial, hang loosely in front of some of the dresses. The waistline In some of the new fashions is generally in the normal position where nature meant it to be, but it will probably not be stationed there for any length of time. There have been not a few examples of the low waist of the Moyen Age and this seems to he gaining popular favor at a great rate. A good many gnepiece ‘Qresees are made with the skirt at- tached at a low waistline, and a girdle fs either tied loosely at that point or arranged at the normal line. Navy Blue Serge for Autumn ‘The darke blue serze dres¢ for au- ,tumn is’ ubiquitors, and when it is not trimmed with colored beads or em- profdery it is the exception. Some of the” beaded and embroldered designs are quite elaborate but in others it 4s just a simple touch here and there that gives character to a dress and furnishes the correct spot color. Although it is evident that navy plue and black are the favorite au- tumn colors, stil! there 1s quite a large range of other colors to choose from, and they have the advantage over the two former in that they are newer, One gets tired of a dark blue and black, so the-new colors are welcome not only, for the sake of the variety ‘but because they are in themselves very beautiful. Plum and purple have deen adopted by Paris, probably on ac- count of their being the Goloys that are used for second mourning, and the same is true of gray also. Among the other fashionable colors are the, rich, warm burgundy, dark green and mus- tard yellow. In addition to these, brown in, several lovely shades is favored. \es 1 ‘a UES am 1 \ Ng ae bch te USP ese | iN An Attractive Afternoon Frock The silhouette of the hour is well depicted in the illustration of the one- piece frock shown here. The deSign is such that it may be developed in two muterials if desired. The gathered side sections of the skirt, as well as the sleeves and side body, might be of satin and the remainder of the dress of serge. Bone buttons form 2 straight line in the front “from collar to hem. Thé collar is open at the throat, for women seem to prefer the open-uect to the high, even for autumn wear, Another frock typical of the style of the season in seen in the second il- lustration. It shows the close bodice, which ends In front in a pointed tab falling over the deep crush girdle. A tassel finishes the tab, This lends a fashionable touch often introduced in this season's frocks. On the skirt the large pointed pockets are the novelty. The points are embroidered to match the front of the waist. BRO. PHARROW GIVES HIS VIEWS OF THE 18th B. M. C Greatest Grandest and Most Harmon. ious in History of Order Thé 18th B. M. C. which recently convened in historic Washington, the capitol of the nation, will be recorded in history as the greatest, grandest and most harmonious since the order was planted by Peter Ogden in 1813. Unlike other meetings of this august jbouy. where strife, turmoils, and dis- Sentions existed. by designing men who sought to get control to tear up our freat institution as they have done locally, the delegates all vied with each other to make the meeting a harmon- fous and suecessful one, which was done without a discordant note. Hon, £.+H. Morris, the Grand Master and greatest fiving Odd Fellow, crown- ed his well-earned reputation with glory by his easy way of handling the 3.000 delegates and his impartiality in settling the many intricate questions coming hefare him. Never In the history of my fraternal visits to various secret order conclaves have I witnessed euch a Spirit of union among the delegates. Not since the B. M. C. met in New Haven, Conn., in 1902, have we been free from Certain unscrupulous, would-be leaders as In this beautiful meeting. The only amusing incident connected with the meeting was brought on by one who attempted to convince the B. M. C. that he had some knowledge of the law when he tried to show that he had been an Odd Fellow for “forty years” but did not know the law well enough to ascertain the fact that no previsions are made for “alternate delegates” The chairman of thé Geor- gia delegation had ruled in his meeting that his commission was irregular and had, him ejected from the building, and be attemped to carry his conten- tions to the floor of the convention, but he was promptly given a taste of the Iaw-taken, into custody by the Sergeant-at Arma and escorted to the. streets and forbidden to reenter again under penaltv of incarceration in the District jail. Wise laws were enacted for-the government of the order and the dele- gates from every state in the Union played thetr part well in helping to pass the laws that would help their brothers in Georgia whom they knew had been unmercifully persecuted ani betrayed into the hands of the two fraternal ‘men and women delegates, was much In evidence and stood together like 4 massive concrete wall. There was never a division except as above stated which was very soon oppressed and even the same tried to push themselves on this king they were big meh by carrying pitchers of water, they too, fell in line for the best interest of our great commonwealth. « We of Georgia have no complaint to make. We did not: get 2 member of the board for good and sufficient reas- ons, but we were honored by having ‘that capable snd ethcient permanent ‘secretary of W. D. Armstrong Lodge elected Grand Auditor in the yerson of Ed. H. Burke of Savannah aud we are proud of him. Not one state in the Union cast a single vote against him and Georgia’s 176 loyal sons voted 4olidly for him and the whole administration's tick- et which went through without a clash. The representation from Geor- gia was indeed inspiring aiid when it is taken inta consideration that some persons went from one side of the state to the other lying to the people by felling them our delegates would not be seated in the B. M. ©. we have more reasons to be proud that the loyal lodges paid no attention to them but. put fraternalism above those who sought to debauch and drag our grand old order Into the paths of commercial- ism. 4 Our delegation was given every Possible consideration. They were given equal representation on the im-| portant committees and assigned to the | very best Thomes. I am elated over the showing made at the 1Sth RB. M. C., for the reason that our delegates made sacrifice and weut down into their own pockets to £0 theré, unlike former years when great corrupt funds were piled up to carry them, not from principle, but to help unscrupulous and and selfish’ men to get and control if possible, when they were both unfit and incompetent to head such a grand order as is ours. As was said in Washington, “The yarasites are out of the order, they will tay out and when thelr bones have jleached and turne@ to mother earth, he order will go on and on as if hey had never ved to get into it by nistake.” It Is the duty of all loyal Odd Fel- ows to fall In Hne and uphold the and of our highest trilunal—the big- est hearted set that ever controlled he destinies of the order. It was a wise step to vote the 19th 3. M. C. to meet in New York the ity that gave birth to the Grand/ Inited Order of Odd FeljJows and vhere the first lodge was Instituted nore than seventy years azo, and Geor- ia is pleased with the part she played n helping New York secure the meet- ne. Too much praise cannot be given the ocal gommittee that had the task of aring for the 3,000 delegates and the housands of other visitors that throng- d the eapltol, all of whom were hand- omely cared for yithout a dissenting ‘ord of condemnation. And I must not coneluje this article ‘ithout commending the Hon. Henry .

The regular dally routine was ob- served from the rising hell at 5:30. a. m. till the ‘sounding of taps at 9:30 p.m. There yas the cail to the drill grounds for the boys at eight o'clock, at which time, the gadet-recruits were lined up and assigned to their different eompanies; at twelve, there was an- other bugle call for the march to dir- rer; during the afternoon, teachers in the various trades and in the apa- demic building met the students and new classes and planned the work far the ‘fall term.

Walton But not the semblance of a sinjle deco- rated the continences of the Hartford tobacco growers, usually a most jovial -and affable lot, who were phinged in deep gloom. They had assembled to discuss the upprecedent labor short- age, which threatened to paralyze- the| tobacco growing industry of the Cou- necticut river and Farmington river valleys and just at a time when a most profitable season was in prospect. AU agreed that planters of shade grown tobacco would sustain a loss running into the millions unless some- thing was done at once to replace foreign labor, which had left the to- Dacco fields in large numbers, having deen lured to the munition plants: throughout New England by the prom-| ise of larger wages. vIn the midst of the’ doleful proceed- ings M. I. Floyd, born and raised in the Southland, but who has lived in the North for many years, abruptly arose and loudly exclaimed, “Gentle- men of the Connecticut Leat Tobacco . association, I think I have the key to the situation—the employment of Negro labor.” First Skeptical About Negro Labor This suggestion did not meet with A ready and enthusiastic response. as Necro help had never been used on the tobacco plantations of New Ing land, Many of the planters were skeptical as to the outcome of such an experiment. But so persistent was the oricinater of the plan in his pro- Negro argument that one by one his associates became convinced. Thus was born, right in the heart of ¥ankeeland. the first significant move to supplant foreign labor with native labor. 2 step which’has restilted in one of the biggest industrial up- Leavals in tle North incident to the European war, which already has heen 2 great boon to the colored American, improving is economic status and putting thousands of dollars inte his packet s Wher loiled doy yr matter of doifars and cents. the snhgtitution of Negro labor for foreign labor hy the members of the Counectlent Leaf To- acco association means that the race whl be rl-her by nearly 8150.90 this year and that more than $300,000 will he. made by Negro Jabor In the THart- ford tobacco fields novt season. Prominent Men Guests of Pianters Heretofore the railroads, steamers and hotels furnished ambitions colored students opportunity to rake his tui- tion and expense money during the va- cation months, and new another ave- nue of endeavor has heen opened to him—the northern tobacco fields, Hundreds of students are taking ad- vantage of this new industrial open- Ing, $72,000 going to Nezro eifucation this summer. Not until recently did I know that in New England more tobacco was grown and on a scientific scale than any where in the United States, This information was imparted to me a few lays ago when, as a aguest of prom- inent farmers, T was taken to the to- vaceo fields near Martford. In the party were Prof. Kelly Miller of How- ard University; Eugene Kinekle eleves, director of the Urban League: TL M. Newsome, a representative of the Hartford Daily Courant, and the writer; Fred T Griffin, precident of the Griffin-Nenherger Tobacco com- pany; M. 1.

Alsop farm, who acted as host, College Boys Working on the Farm It is now harvest time on the to- baceo fields, and the planters are using all available help. College boys are here from the South in large numbers, and during the month of August out ‘of the 1.200 colored employees work- ing on the rarlous plantations, two- thirds are students, Howard Univer- sity, Hampton, Morehouse, Georgia State, Virginia Normal and Industrial, Shaw, Paine and Virginia Union are Cc Cases Sele, tO Cee eS Se regular wae of $2 a day, amount- ing to $50 a month. Relative to the possibilities of making’ money, the Hartford planter$ are ansious that the reports sent out -be accurate and void of exaggeration.” They do not wish it understood ‘that fancy salaries are being pald; néfther do they want thé Impression fo ‘prevail that work- ing on tobacco plantations is more of a pleasure jaunt thaff a serious business Proposition. ~ Picking tobacco is the chief duty of these sons of toil, ‘for which $2 a day fs paid. ‘The foreinen and drivers ket more. Another why of makbig, a liy- ing is by stringing tobacco, and while the majority of “ftsingens” earn on an average $12 a" week, being pald by plece work, there are some especially | atmble tingured women, who earn $3 a day, But earning $3 a day fy an exception and only made hy those un- usually adept with the needle, Fe male colored help is now wanted for stringing tobocco. The ‘ood question at first was some- what of a problem to solve, the stu- dents in particular not being satisfied with the arrangement made of board- ing out and paying about $4 weekly for meals. In most instances the young men have hit upon the happy idea of clubbing In, buying their own Provisions and paylug one of their number with culinary proclivities to act as chef. The club” plan is work- ing satisfactory, the students finding it less expensive, ‘and it permits them to have 2 selection of food more to their liking. Consiructive Work of Urbon League M. L. Floyd ts primarily responsible for the presence of colored help on the tobacco fields of *Hartford, but the National League on Urban Condi- tions Among Negroes, 230% Seventh avenue, New York City, exjoys sole eredit for the supplying the planters with Negro labor, After Mr. Floyd had wou over bis fellow planters. to his plan the members of the Connecti- cut Leaf Tobacco association once more found themselves in a quandary, _ AS know ledze ofsthe activities of the National League on Urban Conditions Anon Negroes had extended fur from the precincts af its home town the sug. xestion was made that the leame he asked to help them ont of their de- lemma. ‘The Situation was exrefnily gone over with the heads uf the lea- sue. aud John T.

Planters to Continue Present Policy “With the shutting down of the mu- nition plants and the cessation of his tilities in Europe, what will be the at- titude of Hartford planters toward Ne- gro labor?” [asked the planters pres- ent. “There will be no change in our jPresent poligy yfemploying Negroes. for we would rather ue native labor.” lene the answer shot hack by Mr. Tod: “Phe Negro is loyal at all times. and you can count on him.

The Negra is” trust- worthy and dependable, takes especial interest in your business and usually refers to it my business. We in- tend to hire Negros and do the right thing by them as long as they do the right thing by us.” So far the experiment of employing éolored help has been a big success, |The future of the Nezro on the tobacco plantations of New England Is in his own hands. And it cannot he said that all the colored help has to date been satiyfactory. Some weeks ago a dozen Negroes went to the Floydville farm from Norfolk. They were of the Esbiftless class who had come North for a good time. They refused to work, evineing a preference for shoot- ing craps, Soon they hecame, obnox- fous to the community, finally disap- pearing from ‘Hartford. This has been the only unpleasant incident so far, and the sufferer, strange to relate, was the man who urged the employment of Negro labor, Mr, Floyd. Rares from South Work Side by Side Among some of the strange features of this new industrial condition is the spectacle.of white boys from the South working sided by side’ with colored bors from the South, In his search for labor, J.

Dr. Sin- gleton and his congregation and peo- ple and join in with them in executing one of the most successful programs which It has been the writer's privilege ko witness in a long time. The bust- Hess and professional men, ax well as everyone else present, were unusually pleased at the splendid arrangement, as as well as to the execution of that most excellent program, Mr, E,W.

Some, one will no déubt sag to him- self, why is all this ado made from time to time, with reference to Ne- groes trading with Negroes? We can think of no better answer to this query than the one given by the good old Baptist minister who had been called to a certain church, who had been led to belleve that \they were just a little better , than} the other churehes in that ecknmunity., This good knivister, for four consecutive weeks had preached from one text; “Repent. belleve “and he baptized.” The officers and members became dis- gnsted at this monotony, and decided to call the good pastor into question and ascertain from him If he could not preach them a sermon from some other text, as they were tired of the same old? text every Sunday. The good pastor thereupon informed them that he was quite able to preach to them from some other text, but in his opin- fon, it was not necessary. He further said to the committee who walted upon him, “As soon as the entire congre- eation repent of their sins and are haptized. I will then be willing to set “up a new text and preach from it until they all beeme willing to do what It says.” TBe point we make in this connection 1 this, as soon as the Negroes in this community Jearn to trade with each other and work together for the up-butlding of the race In this community, so soon will the Negro Business League pass a resolution in open session, that no more reminders, whether they be gentle or harsh, shall appear in print by their weekly letter writer.

It has been said of us, as a race, in business, that we -would be able to produce here and there, in any com- munity a man or woman who might measure up to the business standard, but when it comes to a community of thrift, frugal, thoughtful Negro men aud women, who had race pride enough to stick to each other and to trade with each other, that we would gO down in ignominious defeat.

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK | Washington, D. C.,. Sept. 14th—A staunch friend of the Negro race should be appreciated wherever such a much-needed “sheet-anchor of hope” can be found. The wise colored Ameri- can fs disposed to ask few questions relative to the creed, natlonality, habl- tat or party affiliation of the “keeper of the open door.” Senator Thomas Taggart, of Indla- na, is a friend of all humnity, as his yablie record of more than thirty years gives ample evidence. Speaking more specifically, he is the sturdy friend of the Colored American—and he 1s not ashamed to admit the fact, He acts promptly. cordially and vig- crously when there is the slightest chance to bring a larger life and broad- er opportunities for service to the Negroes of the land. He gives them steady and Iucrati¥e employment in his business enterprises; he helps them in their civic and social development and lends all possible assistance in their aspiration for political perferament and professional or commercial advance- ment. A concreté example is here given. Not long ago one Mr, Caraway of ‘Akkansas, introduced a pill in the House of Representatives, the intent of which was to prevent the’ ‘enlistment or reenlistment of Negroes’ in the fir- my or nary of the United States. The matter was brought to the attention of Senator Taggart who forthwith address ed a Jetter to Hon. Newton D, Baker, Secretary of War, saying among other emphatic things : |. “I fel sure that this bill does not meet with the wishes of the War De- partment.

It should be the Worshipful Master's duty to see that the man he appoints for this service is well qualified. It would be most desirable if the instructor could explain the meaning as well as the words of the lecture, but in many lodges it would be difficult to find such a one. There should be a booster club in every lodge or city, and the first boost should be the self improvement in ritual, laws, and symbolry, of its members. With such an organization there would be no need to delegate instruction to a "rusty" brother, and the candidate might be given something better than a perfect memory test.—Tyler-Keystone Merit should be awarded. Too often we witness the passing of the deserving in office in order that some more popular man may be honored with office. The man who plans and works out the successful career of the body through others is often ignored while the glory of remuneration goes to others who can more successfully give the glad hand and be all things to all men. It has been said, and with truth, "the cheapest thing in the world is brains"; for how often do we see one who could not originate a plan or an idea of his own gather the honors from an enterprise worker out by the brains of others. The willing servant, with no other than to do well that which has been laid upon him, with no other ambition than that the society may prosper and receive honor, is overtaken and passed in the march to preferment by the seekers after honors. In the choosing of officers for many organizations the qualification of fitness for office should be the first requisite, and no one should be elected to fill even a subordinate position unless he is competent to discharge the duties.' He should, moreover, be willing to give the necessary time to perform these duties faithfully. This faithfulness should be his recommendation for further preferment. The same is true all the way along the line, from the bottom to the highest. Faithfulness ought to be, and will be rewarded, and competency will be recognized, only it is sometimes a long time that "patient merit" has to wait—Freemason. Freemasonry What is the real purpose of Freemasonry? The question is by no means superfluous. The popular conception of Freemasonry as a secret society, whose bonds are signs and symbols, which are no more than keys to unlock the doors which give entrance to it, prevails even among Masons. The enlightened and instructed are still the great minority. Until craftmen recognize the true value and position of Freemasonry its power in the world of men must be weakened. Freemasonry is more than an ideal art. It is a life founded upon high teachings. It inculcates moral principals, and prescribes practical virtues. This world-embracing Royal Art is trulune; it possesses body, soul and spirit. The body is the workings we see; the soul is the working which lies within these; the spirit is the life to which we rise by faith and practice. These have one end, one purpose. The essence of Freemasonry has been said to be brotherhood. But even this noble attainment is not an end in itself. The true purpose, the ulterlor is to realize the design of the G. A O. T. U. in placing man on this earth. That belief in the Divine Creator which is the basic faith of Freemasonry, without which the most belittled is but a sham, involves a realization of the way and wherefore of our being. We realize that we are not here as solitary units, eacchi free to wander at will through life; that we are part of a solidarity, in which we have our place and function, our privilege and duty, and are working out the great plan of the Divine Architect. The outside world may or may not care for these things but a Mason must. He belongs to the order, which rests upon belief in the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the immorality of the soul. Freemasonry has survived the shocks of time because it is not an abstract faith, but a practical belief, built upon this triple foundation. Masonry is to a greater extent than Masonry is to a greater extent ever before on its trial today. Men tell us it is drifting, that its ideas are growing dim, its practices feeble. That cannot be. Till time shall be no more, whether there be none to proclaim faith, and exemplify its teaching or not, the only true and ancient brotherhood must go down on the pages of history as the herald of an unseen faith. "Faith in God and the unseen is what the world most needs." . 2 . . That is the faith Masonry proclaims, but its power to affect the world, to leaven its materialism and indifference lies in the life of its members. Whatever elevation we may have reached in the ranks of our order, let us remember, in order that we may be worthy Masons, beacons of faith to a God-forgetting generation, fit stones to the Temple that is daily in building, that the sublime degree is reached only when we have learned to live the life—The Victorian Freemason. Slipshod methods never made a millionaire. Neither will they make a good lodge. Be thorough in the work if you wish the meetings to be attractive to all the brethren.—Masonic Journal. A masonic lodge is the place where brethren may be most easily restored to harmony. The lodge is the clearing house for misunderstandings that keep brethren apart. .

HART Manufacturer THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XIII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 24, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Cor. iv, 1, to v. 4 (Quarterly Review)—Golden Text, II Cor. iv, 18—Commentary Prepared by Rev. Dr. M. Stearns. LESSON I—Paul at Thessalonica and Berea, Acts xvii, 1-15. Golden Text. Acts v, 31, "Him did God exalt with His right hand to be a prince and a Saviour." May we so see these men of God going from place to place preaching Jesus Christ crucified, risen, and coming again; that we shall decide to do likewise at all costs, knowing: that everywhere all costs will believe; though others believe not. LESSON II—The Thessalonian Christians, I Thess. i and iv, 13-18. Golden Text, I Thess. iv, 14; "Them that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." It is refreshing to note how these people received the message, not as from men, but from God; how effectually it wrought in them and how they proclaimed it to others, seeking to please God and not men (i, 8; ii, 4). LESSON III—Paul at Athens, Acts xvii, 16-34. Golden Text, Acts xvii, 28. "In Him we live and move and have our being." In this gentle city, very religious, but wholly idolatrous, Paul preached Christ as the Creator of all things and the sustainer of natural life in all His creatures, but also as crucified and risen from the dead and the appointed Judge of all mankind. LESSON IV—Paul at Cosinth, Acts xviii, 1-22. Golden Text, Acts xviii, 9. "Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace." Working at his trade of tentmaking, along with Aquila and Prisella, he continued at Carinth a year and six months teaching the word of God among them (xviii, 11). The opposition was great, but a night visit from the Lord, Himself with the gracious message of verses 9, 10, was an unusual strength and encouragement. LESSON V.-The word of the cross, I Cor. 1, 18, to ii. 2. Golden Text, Gal. vi, 14, "Far be. it from me to glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Although Paul knew much of the wisdom of this world, he renounced it all for Jesus Christ, who had become to him the power of God and the wisdom of God and who was made unto him and to all believers wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption (I Cor. 1, 17. 18. 21. 24. 20). LESSON VI.-The greatest thing in the world, I Cor. xiii. Golden Text, I Cor. xiii, 13, "Now abideth faith, hope, love, these three, and the greatest of these is love"-greater than the gift of tongues or understanding mysteries or the power to work miracles, for God is Love, but without faith it is impossible to please God. LESSON JIL—The grace of giving, II Cor. ix. "Golden Text, Acts xx, 35. "Remember the words of the Lord Jesus that He Himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Giving is easy when the love of Christ can strains us, because of His great grace; and love to us, and when we remember that we have nothing that we have not received, that all things came from Him and we can only give Him His own which He has first given to us. LESSON VIII—The riot at Ephosus, Acts xix, 20-41 Golden Text, I Tim vi, 10. "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." The record of the riot is the least important part of this chapter, but teaches what may happen when business is interfered with. Carrying the word of the Lord into all Asia and bringing the special gift of the spirit to believers, this is something worth while. LESSON IX.—Journeying to Jerusalem, Acts xx, 16-27. Golden Text, Acts xx, 32. "I command you to God and to the word of His grace." The greater part of this chapter tells of Paul's farewell to the church at Ephesus through the elders who came to Miletus to meet him, with a mention of three months in Greece and seven days at Troas, on his way/thither. He reminded the Ephesians that for three years he had taught them the whole counsel of God (verses 27, 29). LESSON X.-Paul's sorrows and comforts, II Cor. xl. 21-33. Golden Text. II Cor. xl. 9, "My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made perfect in meekness." I think that the record of his sufferings, as in xl. 23-28, cannot be equaled in the case of any other mere man. But he must have been sustained by the glory which he saw on the way to Damascus and while he was dead after his stoning at Lystra (xlL, 1-5). LESSON XL--The arrest of Paul, Acts xxl, 27-40. Golden Text, Acts xxl, 15. "Thou shalt be a witness for Him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard." The first half of this chapter tells of the remainder of his journey to Jerusalem and his welcome there, with some incidents by the way at Tyre and Caesarea. The last half tells of his failure to pacify law keeping Jews. LESSON XII...A prisoner in the castle, Acts xxii, 17-29. Golden Text, Pa, xxii, 2. "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." The story, of Paul's conversion is the real topic of this lesson, and to me the central, saying is, "I could not see for the glory of that light." The choice by God of such a man for such a great work and the manner of his call is one of the greatest marvels of the whole Bible story concerning any mere man.

Stearns. | The chief captain, who with his sol- diers, bid reseued Paul from the bands of the mob, gave up all thought of scourging him when he found that he had a Roman citizen to deal with, and one that was such by birth, for it had cost the captain a great sum to obtain his citizenship. Then he determined to bring him before the Jewish chief | priests and council that be might af | possible learn the cause of all this up- }roar against this man (xxil, 27-30). Just a word about our heavenly cit | zeoship and joint-heirship with Jesus Christ, which no amount of money or | good works can purchase, but can only ‘be obtained by birth, the new birth. porn from above (Tit ill, 4-7; Ps. ( xllx, 6, 7; Zeph. 1, 18; Jobn itl, 3, 5, 7). When obtained, then whoever touches us touches Him whose we are, and all the power of heaven ts ready to de- liver us If necessary. Paul began his testimony before the Jewish council by an assertion that he had always lived fn all good conscience before God. ‘This led to a command from the high priest to smite him on the mouth, which brought from Paul some-true seathing words, “God shall smite thee, thou whited wall,” for which he apologized when be knew that he was the high priest. He was certainly not God's high priest, except in name, like tho nominal belfevers at Sardis, who had a name to live, but were dead (Rev. iil, 1; lesson verses 15). ‘When Paul perceived that be had be- fore him in the council both Phari- sees and Sadducees he began a test!- mony which soon set them one against the other to such a degree that again the captain bad to rescue Paul from thelr hands by force, lest he should have been pulled in pieces by them (verses 6-10). ‘The captain must have Deen sorely perplexed by.this strangest Roman citizen he probably ever bad on his hands, for this was the third riot from which he had rescued him. It may be well to note here a simple distinction in doctrine between Sad- ducees and Pharisees, tbe former be- Meving in no resurrection nor angel nor spirit, while the latter are sata to have believed both (verse 8), but when | we recall what the Lord Jesus said | ofthe Pharisees in Matt. xxlll, calling them hypocrites, serpents, generation | of vipers, on the way to hell, there was | no choice between thelr beliefs in the | light of eternity. They were all in the | same boat, in the same broad way to | destruction. Oh, how they hated the truth of God even as they had hated '| Him who is the Truth, and conspired '| together to Kill Him, which they final- Jy accomplished (Acts 41, 22, 23; iif, 13- 15; iv, 10; v, 20-32), || They so hated Paul and his testimony to Jesus and His resurrection and 2 _| tult and free salvation without circum: .| eisston or any, works of the law that | over forty of them took an oath that | they would neither eat nor drink till ‘| they had killed Paul (verses 12-14,21,30). ‘| We are sure that they did not succeed +] in killing him, and how long they fast {| ed we do not know, but we remember || some words which are still true, “He _| that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh "| the Lord shall have them in deriston.” | “Lhe Lord bringeth the counsel of the ‘| heathen te nought, He maketh the de -| vices of the people of none effect.” “Take counsel together and St shal ieee to nought” (Ps, il, 4; xxxill, 10 [] Isa, vill, 10). Now we come to a young man -| story reminding us of Samuel and thc _| boy whose loaves and fishes fed more ,| than 5.000 and other young men storie: _| in Scripture. We are also told just 2 "| little of Paul's family affairs and that "| he had a married sister seemingly liv: | ing in Jerusalem, and this young mar ,| was her son. We might, trom | Zech. ii, 4; Jer. §, 6.7; that, thes || men were called to be the mes | sengers as young men. Paul's Bister’ , | £on was certainly the Lord’s messenger "| on this occasion to save Paul from "| these murderers, The result was that -| Paul was started off to Caesarea bj :| night with an escort of 200 soldiers -{ 200 spearmen and 70 horfemen and : letter to Felix, the governor, stating the ") facts as far as the chief captain wa: able. The letter also contained a wor in Paul's favor to the effect that the ekief captain knew nothing agains him worthy of death or of bonds:(verse: "| 22-33), As in the previous chapter, th | best word to me was verse 1, so it i | also in this chapter where we have the ” The pride of every woman is her hair, If you want ; MME" E and FETT.

During the hearing of the reports of the officers, Grand Master Morris visited the Grand Household. The sessions convened at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Propositions were taken up for action. The proposition that brought about the most discussion was the one repealing the law which calls for six cents per capita annually to ten cents, payable at the same time and manner. There was a lively debate on the proposition, which lasted for some time and finally was adopted. A proposition was also passed giving the Sub-Committee of Management the right and power to appoint a sufficient number of officers in a jurisdiction to run the affairs of the jurisdiction, in a case where district grand, lodge or executive committee of a district grand lodge has been tried and the penalty imposed is either suspension or expulsion. At this session a delegation from the Grand Household visited the B. M. G. bringing fraternal greetings. While this delegation was paying respects to this august body, the Indiana delegation presented Grand Secretary Needham a token of appreciation of his service to the order. A delegation from the Grand Patriarchy also brought greetings. The session lasted but three-quarters of an hour on Thursday on account of the parade which was scheduled to take place. Fully 4,000 persons took part in the parade on this day which was witnessed by more than 10,000 spectators. The event was the grandest of its kind yet had by this body and was creditable in every respect. The marchers passed through the principal streets of the district and terminated at the ball park where the prize drill took place. The companies taking a part in the drill were Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Wheeling, Baltimore, Raleigh, Alexandria, Washington, Indianapolis and Wilmington. The first prize was awarded the Pittsburg company. At night a banquet was held at the convention hall with 1,000 in attendance. As it was considered that Friday would be the last day of the convention, the delegates were at the place of meeting early and pitched right into business. The first session was devoted to the handling of propositions, and at the conclusion of this part of the business, the B. M. C. adjourned to reconvene at 7:30 p.m. At 8:30 o'clock the convention was called to order and reports of the various committees were heard. After all other business had been concluded the chair announced that the next place of meeting was in order. There were three cities contending for this honor, New York, Atlantic City, and Chicago. The former was selected by a large majority. At 11:30 the election of officers was announced in order, and then the fireworks began. The candidates were placed in nomination with ringing speeches and loud applause. Grand Mast, Morris, Deputy Grand Master Johnson, Grand Treasurer Brown and Grand Secretary Needham were re-elected without opposition. The election of five grand directors, for which positions there were six in the race; and for the three grand auditors for which offices four were put into nomination, was done by roll call of the states. After a number of states had polled its votes, the voting strength on Georgia was contested by Rey, E. P. Jones of Mississippi who was seeking re-election on their Sub-Committee of Management. After an explanation by the Minister Rey, Jones asked for the privilege of withdrawing his name, and did also W. H. Mixon who were the candidates for re-election as grand auditors. The election then proceeded, which resulted in the following election and closed Saturday morning, the United INTERESTING COMMENTS ON THE EXODUS OF NEGRO LABORERS must recognize and with which it must compete, and necessity may prove its worth in bringing community sentiment in such states as Georgia to that point of view.—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. UPSETTING THE TRADITIONS OF THE SOUTH All that we have been taught is upset by reports of arrests of Negroes for attempting to leave the South and work in the North. If it had not been for the blackman the South would have been a paradise. Why not, then, speed him on his way, and thus avoid having to deport him? Yet some stupid officer of the law has arrested the manager of the Savannah, Ga., Tribune for sending labor out of the state and seventeen Negro boys for trying to go. These particular youths were headed for the tobacco fields of Connecticut. Obviously, they should have been encouraged to carry out their intention, and at the same time the North should have been invited to watch and see how undesirable they could prove as laborers. Here was a great chance for getting him. North to understand at last the Southern point of view. But it will be lost if Georgians are not stopped. The manager of the Savannah Tribune was allowed to depart, but at another point fifty Negroes were arrested. Of course, the sheriffs are only following the letter of the law against sending labor out of the State, but who would believe that such a law was meant to include Negroes? One would think that the Mayor of a city like Savannah would know better than to discourage a movement that would solve the South's chief problem at a stroke.—New York Evening Post.

Wheeler and Telfair Counties are located in the South-central part of Georgia, one of the best agricultural sections of the state, and is traversed by two trunk lines of railroads; and is but 75 to 100 miles from Savannah, the largest and chief seaport on the Atlantic Ocean south of Baltimore; furnishing a ready market for and cheap transportation rates to the East and to Europe. Owing to the limited number of these farms they will not last long, and those who would take advantage of the same, should apply at once to standing of the needs and educational requirements of the colored people. Among the subjects to be discussed particular stress will be laid on the following: 1. What is the opinion of the educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in schools in the various communities? Has it been hurtful, unwise and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the evil? 2. To what extent should classes devoted to teacher training be encouraged? How and where located? 3. What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural teacher? 4. What should be the standard of the university, college, normal school, teacher training and secondary schools? 5. How should students be received from one to another? 6. To what extent should religious instruction be carried on in the various schools? 7. Should there be a general clearing house for aid for Negro schools? 8. Is the aid given by the various funds and boards to Negro education wise, economical and helpful? 9. Many other and kindred subjects will be announced on the tentative program, which will be published in the early fall. This conference has been suggested by the great many who desire to know the actual condition and needs of the schools devoted to Negro education from those who are actually doing the work. No conference in recent years will be more far-reaching in its effects than this. The guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training School. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration, which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country.
