The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII CAMPAIGN TO BOOST NEGRO BUSINESS Business to be Assisted by Boosting Campaigns Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 10.—One of the most important forward-looking steps taken by the executive committee of the National Negro Business League which met last August in Kansas City, Mo., was the decision to inaugurate definite plans for directly assisting Negro merchants to increase their business and to extend their influence in the communities in which they operate. A number of plans were suggested and considered and considerable thought put into the matter in order that the best and most effective plan might be adopted. "Trade Boosting Campaigns" similar to those recently conducted in Nashville, Tenn, and Atlanta, Ga., seem at this time to be the most practical and effective way to help the colored business men in all parts of the country and it was unanimously decided by the officers of the National League to urge local Negro Business Leagues in all parts of the country to arrange to conduct these campaigns in their communities. In November, 1915, a Trade Boosting Campaign was held in the City of Atlanta, Ga., and the Negro merchants who participated in the movement have expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the results. Some of the merchants realized as much as sixty per cent increase in their business as a result of co-operative advertising plans. A representative of the National Negro Business League spent several days in Atlanta early in September and went over the whole matter very fully with the representative colored business men of that city. "The colored people of Atlanta have never had such an awakening as they received during the ten days of our campaign," said one business man. Another man who has been in the grocery business for over ten years in Atlanta said: "One experience which I had during the Trade Boosting Campaign was worth all the time and effort I put into it. A certain well known colored man who had never been into my store before although he lived in the neighborhood, came in and looked around and finally bought some high-grade merchandise. During the time I was serving him, he kept on looking around at the stock of goods which I carried. Finally, he said, "This campaign which the colored business men have on, induced me to come and see what you had. I must confess that I have never traded with a merchant of my own race because I did not think that colored men carried first class goods, and had never taken the time to investigate before now. You may say for me that your campaign has converted at least one member of the race." Other similar statements were made by other business men in other lines and the general impression among the business men of Atlanta is that these Trade Boosting Campaigns are splendid weapons for arousing pride of race and for educating our people to support race enterprises. ```markdown ``` The plan by which the Atlanta business men worked to arouse interest in their campaign is a good method to be used in any community and it is best described in the words of one of the leaders in this constructive movement. He says: "A group of Atlanta business men were one day discussing some methods for arousing the people of Atlanta to the importance of supporting business enterprises owned and operated by colored men. Various plans were offered and finally some one suggested a ten days campaign in which the colored people would be urged to patronize their own stores. Coupons were to be given for each 25 cents cash purchase and for all sums paid on back accounts. The coupons must have some value so it was decided to give prizes for the persons having the most coupons at the end of the campaign. Our prizes were first-class—including a lot in Meadow Brook, barrel of flour, hams, a sewing machine, silverware, dishes, etc. This made the people realize that we really meant business and they were really Mr. J.

C., Oct. 7—Miss Nannle H. Burroughs, founder and principal of the National Training School for Women and Girls at Lincoln Heights, D. C., is "standing pat" on her rights as against the encroachments of the Savannah wing of the National Baptist Convention. The people of the District of Columbia and of the country at large are standing in a solid phalanx behind her. She conceived this great institution. Defying predictions of failure, she persisted in her idea of the needs of the young women of the race until she built the nucleus of this school at Lincoln Heights. Amid sacrifice and through labors that cannot be described in cold type, she developed it, step by step, until it is now the foremost agency of its kind in training Afro-American womanhood in the arts and sciences that lay at the foundation of a honest livelihood. Miss Burroughs has won her right and title to manage this school according to the broad plans she has marked out, and the public at large, whose contributions and moral support have made the institution a vital force for human uplift, will sustain her in her supreme struggle against vandals who would attempt to take from her that which she has justly earned. Just what the differences may be between the warring factions of the National Baptist Convention the layman is not fully informed—and, as far as this issue goes, perhaps they are not greatly concerned about the details of the titantic controversy. The people, however, do know Miss Burroughs. They know the splendid work she has done and is doing for the race, and they are determined that the fruits of her constructive labors shall not be wrested from her by any group of individuals who have done nothing to warrant any claim upon the property she has built up in this portion of the Master's vineyard. With her the masses will "stand pat." Miss Burroughs is out in a long and comprehensive statement touching the system under which the National Training school is managed, together with an itemized report as to the finances of the institution. She makes plain everything that has been done and convicts certain officers of the Savannah end of the National Baptist Convention of misrepresentation, through ignorance or malicious intent, of the facts in the case. She indicts them as would-be usurpers, who seek to secure control of property clearly belonging to others, and sets herself straight in the eyes of the country as an unselfish worker for the highest development of Afro-American womanhood. The statement comes from the great heart of Miss Burroughs and a grateful people are receiving it as "the plain unmarnished truth." Amphion Glee Club Celebrates Silver Anniversary The Amphilon Glee Club, of which much has been said in these columns, has definitely decided to celebrate its "silver anniversary," December 1st, and is negotiating for one of the District's largest auditoriums in which to stage the event. The club has been in continuous existence for twenty-five years, and is the oldest and most widely-known organization of its kind conducted by colored men in this country. The anniversary function is to be the capsheaf of a long and harmonious career and the movement is being cordially supported by the public-spirited and substantial citizens of the entire community, all of whom, in one way or another, have been beneficiaries of the Amphilon's musical bounty. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, the dramatic and sporting editor of the New York News, and unquestionably the foremost authority in this line of work in the country, is to become a "benedict", according to an announcement that has reached here from the nation's metropolls. The bride-elect is Miss Frances M. Gantt, for a number of years an acknowledged bell of this city and a successful teacher in a nearby suburb. She is pretty, pliant and popular—a leader in the younger division of the social "smart set". Though the announcement is something (Continued on Page Seven) Mrs. O. C.

Last Year The public schools of the city opened Monday morning with the usual merry scenes enacted on the streets by the thousands of children on their way to school to greet their teachers for the first time this fall in the long but joyful grind which will continue with but few short intermissions during holidays until the good old days of summer time roll round again. Bright and early were the kids on the streets, dressed in their modest tops, and their cheerful countenances gave unmistakable evidence of the return of the good old school days which had come to a close three months ago. Here and there were mothers leading their little ones toward the schools. Their faces, in utter contrast to the gleeful children passing up and down the streets, bespoke the serious mission on which they were going and the mental anguish which was rankling in their breasts. They were retracing the steps which they had taken the Saturday before when they applied at the schools for admission cards for their children but were told that the seats were all filled up. Hope, however, of getting accommodation was held out to them when their children's names were taken. So they journeyed forth Monday morning, hoping, rea praying, that some provision might be made for their little ones to get a chance to equip themselves with the great armour of education which means so much for success in life. A few, successful, returned in a halo of smiles, but hundreds of them who had cherished all the summer thoughts of starting their children off in school this fall came back broken hearted and disappointed. There was a sufficient number of children turned away for lack of accommodation to fill another full sized school, the exact number being 732. Of this number 300 failed to get accommodation at the Cuyler school, 218 at West Broad, 155 at East Broad and 52 at Maple. The total enrollment at the close of the first week of the schools yesterday was 3,305 while that at the end of the first week last year was 2,796, an increase of 507. Every grade in the schools is filled to its utmost capacity. Especially is this true in all of the lower grades. One of the grades at the Cuyler school has an enrollment of 90, while the average in the lower grades at all the schools will run about 65. During the week there were two changes made in the teaching force of the school. Miss Clifford Allen, who has been assistant at the West Broad was given the third grade at Maple made vacant by the absence of Miss Annie Scott. Miss Florence Callen who was teaching a county school was appointed assistant at the West Broad. The enrollment of the schools is as follows: 1915 1916 Cuyler .....688 1,038 East Broad.....760 832 West Broad.....836 820 Maple .....512 615 Total.....2,796 3,305 ND NEGRO CHIL- D IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE FOUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS TS CAPACITY d Unaccommodated ate Schools Show Slight Increase Over.

Whitmire, pastor, will begin on Monday night continue to the 20th. A suitable program has been arranged for the occasion. URBAN LEAGUE DISTRICT WORKERS MET An interesting meeting of the district workers of the Urban League was held Thursday afternoon at the Leauge headquarters. Only three district leaders were unavoidably prevented from attending. Plans for the fall and holiday work were discussed and many interesting thoughts were brought out. Each leader will begin investigation of conditions in the respective districts. The next meeting of the workers will be held on Thursday afternoon, November 2nd The canvassing committee will immediately organize and begin work among the merchants for articles for the poor. NEEDLE WORK GUILD ORGANIZED FOR USEFUL SERVICE The Needle-Work Guild is a national organization with branches in many of the leading cities of the country. There is a division in this city among the colored and white workers. The colored branch is well organized, and has recently augmented its membership. Its members are interested in its workings which will prove effective in many ways for good. This branch will hold a meeting at St. Paul C. M. E.' church, west Broad street, on Tuesday afternoon, October 10, at 4 o'clock, to which all interested are asked to attend. J. H. WASHINGTON INSTALLS NEW MACHINEKY Has One of The Most Modern Shoe Shops in the City In the course of the last two weeks, Mr. J. H. Washington, 300 Whitaker street, has installed the latest model Goodyear shoe repairing machinery in his well known establishment. By means, of this latest acquisition Mr. Washington is able to meet his large and ever increasing trade and turn out the work rapidly. Mr. Washington is one of the most progressive shoe makers in the city and enjoys a class of patronage which is second to none. His work is finished in every respect and by means of the modern machinery which he has just installed, he will be able to put on a half-sole and heel within a short time and to live up to the familiar "shoes half soled and heeled while you wait." WORK AMONG THE NEGLECTED IN YAMACRAW Sunday afternoon last marked the beginning of what is hoped to be effective work among a class of our people in Yamacraw who are badly in need of uplifting Influences. This work is under the auspices of the Urban League and is being conducted by Misses Cornellia, McDowell and Maggle Robertson. The work is located on Little Joarchim street, between Fahm and West Boundary, an ideal place for it. There were twenty-one little ones in attendance at the Sunday gathering, a prionderance of which was boys. A meeting was also held with them on Thursday afternoon. The ladies are anxious to fit up the place in an attractive manner, and appeal to friends for assistance in this direction, by the donation of suitable pictures, furniture, etc. On account of the coming cold weather, the donation of a small store would be appreciated. A small organ or piano is badly needed, the temporary use of one would help the work. There may be sunday schools with discarded song books or lesson papers; these are also among the needs. Donations for this work may be given any of the Urban League que workers, the ladies in charge or left at The Tribune office, and full acknowledgement will be given through The Tribune. CHATHAM LAWN TENNIS CLUB SECOND TOURNAMENT At a meeting of the Chatham Lawn Tennis Association, held Monday night, October 2, plans were formulated for the fall tournament. It is planned to have the tournament start October 23, continuing until decided. The association hopes to make this meet more successful and interesting to the tennis fans and lovers of sport generally than any held heretofore. Interest in the sport has developed rapidly and this should increase rather than decrease with a more general understanding of the game. Come out and see your favorite contend for the second leg on the Balfour trophy. The schedule will be published later. CALANTHE TO HAVE ANOTHER BOOSTER CAMPAIGN Mrs. R. L.

REESE TO PREACH TOMORROW Celebration to Consume the Entire Week The sixty-first anniversary of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, will begin tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock when the Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, D. D., bishop, will preach the anniversary sermon. The celebration will continue throughout the week, with several of the leading ministers of other denominations and their choirs taking part in the festivities. St. Stephen's is not only the oldest and largest Episcopal church in the state, but it is one of the leading churches of that denomination among Negroes in the Southland: The activities in which the church is engaged are manifold, chief among them being the operation of the St. Stephen's kindergarten and primary school which is conducted in rooms fitted up in the basement of the parsonage: The church was organized sixty-one years ago by the Rev. S. W. Kennedy, during the episcopate of the Rt. Rev. Steven Ellott, D. D., in a hall on the corner of Habersham street and Perry lane. Through the faithful services of members of St. John and Christ Episcopal churches (white) the hall was converted into a neat and churchly building. Here the members wohshipped until the present brick structure, on Harris and Habersham was completed. Since its first rector, the Rev. S. W. Kennedy, the following ministers have at various times had charge of the work. Rev. Stoney, Rev. Staley, Rev. Minis, Rev. Lane, Rev. Simmons, Rev. Atwell, Rev. Morris, Rev. Landsberger, Rev.

MARY'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL St. Mary's Catholic School for colored children reopened as usual on 30th and Bulloch streets, on October 2, contrary to false rumors that the school would no more receive colored children. The Franciscan sisters have taken charge of this school under the same management as before. These sisters belong to the same order as the teachers of the St. Benedict's school on Gordon street. The Franciscan sisters have schools all over the state, parochial and high schools. Their teaching needs no recommendations, being of the best. Parents are kindly invited to send their children to St. Mary's as last year. No care will be spared to give the children a thorough and practical education. The regular course of studies is carried in all the grades of the grammar school, from the kindergarten up to the eighth From Paris Come Rumors to This Effect and Now and Again One Sees Proof of it. NEW BLOUSES OF SATIN AND GEORGETTE New York, October 4th—We have lately been hearing rumors from Paris that the period of the Directoire is likely to make itself felt again in our dress. Although these roumors have not been confirmed from all sides, here and there a costume appears highly suggestive of this period, so it is hardly looking too far ahead to give it some consideration. Period styles keep recurring every little while, and for some time we have had no strain of the Directoire in our dress, so there will be little wonder if it should return very soon. And there will be little regret too for there is a certain little regret, too for there is a certain © McCALL Reflecting the Directoire Style dignity and stateliness about the costume of this period that makes it a favorite among many women. In the accompanying sketch is a dress which shows the Directore influence very markedly. This type of dress strikes the eve at once as being very distinct from other styles. At first glance one might easily mistake it for a coat on account of the large collar rising high at the back of the neck, the equally large revers and the double breasted effect is especially desirable, and one of this type has many charms. The long tunic parted in front and attached to the rather short-waisted body can be worn to advantage by the woman of average proportions. Tunics are quite fashionable this season and there is a large variety of © MCCALL New Gored Skirts with Simple Waist different styles. A novelty seen very recently was in the form of a long tunic reaching to the hem of the skirt but it was placed only across the back of the skirt, barely starting from the hips. The dress in question was made of soft navy blue silk and the tunic was of very fine serge in a matching shade. Collars, high in the back and open in front, on the order of the one in the illustration, are very good style. Even in separate collars to be worn with dresses and suits, the style that are often made in two colors of serge, as black and white, or brown or white; or they are made in combinations of serge and satin, broadcloth and velvet, or tuffeta and serge. Tuffeta or corduroy in two colors is very often employed with good results also. The waists to go with separate skirts and suits are, as a rule, very simple. White and pale flesh-colored blouses are still favored, though the fashion of having the blouse match in color the suit with which it is to be worn is again coming in. For this reason there are some dark blues seen. Satin and Georgette are combined for waists that form part of the costume. The sleeves and upper part of the waist are generally of Georgette and the lower part which comes nearest the skirt is of satin. Striped satin is also used for waists combined with Georgette or chiffon. A charming model for dressy wear was made of blue and white striped satin with white Georgette. It had a large cape collar. goes well up in the back and almost touches the hair is one of the very newest from Paris. Most collars continue to be very large, though some small ones are seen. A Skirt of Many Gores In the matter of separate skirts, there is a striking novelty which has made a strong appeal to many women. This is the fourteen-gored skirt, of which an illustration is shown here. Not even the number of gores has deterred them from taking a fancy to this skirt, the novelty and the effectiveness of it having far outweighed the task of making. The most effective developments are in two materials, making the alternate gores of the different materials. Needless to say, in this lies the chief beauty of the skirt. One may use the same material in two contrasting colors or contrasting materials in the same shade. These skirts FORM NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE Washington, D. C., September—In reply to criticisms of the Democratic press that Governor Hughes is waving the bloody shirt and stirring up sectionalism in his remarks on control of the national government by the South, Representative Fees, of Ohio, chairman of the publicity committee of the National Republican Congressional Committee, gave out the following statement: "The Democratic press editorially takes to task Governor Hughes for calling the country's attention to the sectionalism of the Wilson Administration. It denies the fact of sectionalism—the editorial writers lack information—that's all. "No man who knows would deny that the Underwood hill retains duty upon southern products—cotton goods, rice, tobacco, Angora goat hair, etc. and places twenty articles of agriculture on the free list, all northern products. That is sectional legislation. "If any citizen calls attention to these facts he is at once accused by the Democrats of raising sectional issues. This Congress is responsible for this sectional spirit. The Congressional Record of June 3, 1916, records some interesting data. By special order of the house previously made, Representative Aswell, of Louisiana, was given a stated time to eulogize Jefferson Davis as one of the country's patriots. The Record shows his speech was punctuated by frequent 'applause' and when it was finished the Record reads—"prolonged applause." "Immediately following this speech Representative Kincheloe, of Kentucky, by special order of the House, previously arranged, pronounced a second eulogy upon the head of the Confederacy, which was closed with 'loud applause'. When these two eulogies were finished the House adjourned making a day's work of two eulogies upon Jefferson Davis. "This is but one item of others indicating the sectionalism fomented by the present Democratic Administration that Republicans are expected to grin and bear, but say nothing. It is in keeping with Wilson's statement in Philadelphia: 'I look across the Potomac from the White House and view my country.' "On March 1st, the Congressional Record gives an interesting item of the same import. Both the 63rd and 64th Congresses had witnessed efforts to do away with the element of loyalty as a necessary condition for southern claimants to establish a case against the government for damages arising during the Civil war. This proof of loyalty has been steadily adhered to. On March 1st when the House was considering the subject of 'Captured or, abandoned property', and amendment was offered as follows: 'Provided; that no claim shall be allowed any claimant unless it is provided that the original owner was loyal to the U. S. government during the Civil War.' This amendment was rejected upon a standing vote. ayes 58. nays 74. A motion was then made to recommit the bill to the Committee on War Claims with instructions to report. back with an amendment requiring loyalty as a condition for any claim. Upon this the yeas and nays were ordered by Republican members. By a vote of 187 to 170 loyalty was again made a requirement. Of course the solid South voted against it. The were joined by forty-three northern Democrats, five, of whom were from Ohio—Allen, Ashbrook, Gordon, Key, and Overmeyer. Neither Brumbaugh, Gard, nor Crosser voted. Seven of the forty-three came from Indiana—Barnhart, Cline, Cox, Dixon, Gary, Lieb, and Morgrison. Neither Adair, Rauch nor Cullop voted. All the Democrats from Kansas voted against requiring loyalty. "The Committee on War Claims which has charge of these matters has fifteen members, nine Democrats and six Republicans. Of the nine Democrats six are from Southern states including Chairman Gregg, of Texas; of the three from northern states two voted with the Democrats against loyalty. One only joined the Republicans in their demands for loyalty. "If the nationa ltreasury is required to satisfy all the war claims that may be presented, claims that grow out of the exigencies of a four years civil war, whether the claimant was loyal or disloyal, can any expert accountant place a limit upon the demands from that source?" "In the 63rd Congress Mr. Underwood, taking advantage of his position as floor leader, secured passage thru the House of a special act, granting a claim without reference to the loyalty. This was carried after a most determined opposition by Minority leader Mann. This was the opening wedge. In the light of recent legislation of the most wasteful character where the federal treasury is drawn upon for southern projects, and in the glare of the proceedings of March 1st and June 3rd of this year, the strictures of the Democratic press against Mr. Hughes for calling the country's attention to the sectionalism of the government as now administrated are but whimperings of troubled minds seriously disturbed by the strength of the criticisms." Negro Must Know His Business MERCHANTS AND MECHANICS SHOULD BE ALERT By J. C. Lindsay In this busy strenuous commercial age, where thought as well as actions is brought so forcibly into play, the Negro in business is brought face to face with certain conditions, which conditions will either put him, in or put him out. If there ever was a time when the black man was shown special favors for the sake of the pity and compassion which the other fellow who is his sharp competitor had on him, that time has long since winged its way into the almost forgotten past. The call of the time is for wide-awake, well informed business men, if you don't know, you ought to know, and ignorance will not be permitted as an excuse for your lack of knowledge concerning the thing or things out of which you are trying to make a living. Every man engaged in a certain line of business, and especially the black man, should strive to know as much about the handling of that put forth to make it go as any body else, matters not from whence they come or whither they may be going. The Negro banker, insurance man, real estate dealer, merchant, lawyer, physician, shoe maker, mattress maker, tailor, bricklayer, carpenter, or what not, should know just as much about his particular line as the other fellow, matters not whether he was born in Germany, France, Spain or in any other country, as to that matter. The plain truth which we are trying to stress in this connection is, the Negro must know his job, if he has any idea of trying to succeed in this busy commercial age. The sign in large letters on yonder board, as you see on entering a certain beautiful park which reads "$10.00 fine for driving over this plot." is meant for the man who cannot read, as much as it is meant for the man who can read. In short, it simply means that you are not to drive across that plot, unless you are ready to pay $10 for your folly. Our point is this, we are simply trying to say in short that this age in which we are living today, takes no excuses for the fellow's short comings, who is trying to run a business and is absolutely ignorant of the simple requirements, which are so essential to the life and permanency of that business. The real mission of the Negro business league in this community, as it is true of it in every other community, is to cause the Negro who may be engaged in business, as well as other members of the race who may not be engaged in business, to do some real hard thinking along with their physical activities. It was the late Dr. Booker T. Washington who said on one occasion that the thinking race of people is the ruling race of people. The clock keeps time with the sun, for seven and eight days it runs down; but, unfortunately for the clock, it does not know that it is actually keeping the time. In other words, the clock doesn't know what it is doing. Our point in this connection is this, the black man in this country must cease to work mechanically but must think as he goes, and he will have some knowledge of what is required of the other fellow, as well as the other fellow knowing at all times and under all conditions what is required of him. There is no rubbing out the fact, that in every community into which you may go, you will not have to be in it very long before you will know without anyone telling you whether or not the men and women of that community are thinkers or simply plodders. Negro men and women who think high and lofty thoughts with reference to the welfare of the race will put those thoughts into actions by lending what ever encouragement at their command to the fostering of the enterprises put into operation by the thinking men and women of the race.

Her ceremonies are like the ancient mystic shows—not the reading of an essay, but the opening of a problem, requiring research, and constituting philosophy, the arch-expounder. Her symbols are the instructions she gives. The lectures are endeavors, often partial and one-sided, to interpret these symbols. He who would become an accomplished Mason must not be content merely to hear, or even to understand, the letures; he must, aided by them, and they having, as it were, marked out the way for him, study interpret, and develop these symbols for himself.—Albert Pike. Shibboleth signifies water. Thus when the Ephraimites prayed the men of Gilead to allow them to pass over, and were asked in return—To pass over what? Shibboleth or the waters, without betraying themselves to the enemy—the word chosen by the Gileadites, meaning a stream of water, being the object immediately before them, was well calculated to put the Ephraimites off their guard. We can easily understand the peculiarity of conformation in the organs of speech which produced this defect. A native of the continent of Europe experiences great difficulty in articulating the English th. In countries adjacent to Palestine the same defect prevails.—Historical Landmarks. Vol 1 pp. 508-9. Proselytism in Freemasonry Proselytism in Freemasonry The spirit of proselytism finds no encouragement in the Masonic teachings. Every well educated craftsman understands that he is not to seek to obtain converts to Freemasonry, regarded as a system, nor to urge his friend to become members of the fraternity. In no one respect, perhaps, is Freemasonry more distinctive than in this feature. It has a separateness of character, as contrasted with the other systems and societies, by reason of its declared opposition to all proselytism as a means of increasing the numerical strength of the institution. The opposition to the spirit of proselytism is only to its special application within the lines of Freemasonry. The spirit of proselytism, rightly directed and guarded, is properly recognized as meritorious in Christian churches. The great apostle of the Gentiles and the other apostles and teachers, who contributed so much to the marvelous advances of Christianity in the early periods of the history of the church, were ardent propagandists. Missionary interests and zeal were rightly called into activity in the present work of the church, and converts are sought by urgent appeals on the part of the clergy and the laity. In numerous friendly, reformatory, and fraternal organizations, something of the same proselyting spirit is shown, as the members of these societies appeal to their acquaintances and friends to accept membership in the body and to unite with them in building up an efficient and popular association. Such advocacy is by no means objectionable under the conditions named. Freemasonry, however occupies a different position. It rests upon a basis of voluntary association. It urges no man to come within its lines and participate in its ceremonies. It expressly declares its opposition to the exercise of any such personal solicitation on the part of its members as might result in gaining adherents, influenced most likely by the urgency of friendly appeal rather by their independent judgment. It sets up the rule that any man wishing to pass within Masonic lines, must come "un blased by friends," and of his own "free will and accord." It is well that this distinguishing characteristic of the Masonic institution should be kept in mind, and that the practice thus enjoined should not be departed from. That the rule is sometimes disregarded goes without saying; we have known more than one instance where a considerable pressure has been exerted by a Mason to induce a friend to join the Fraternity, but however such action may be justified or apologized for, it cannot be made to harmonize with the fundamental principles of Freemasonry, and is likely to work harm to the stability and usefulness of the Masonic institution. The spirit of proselytism may be justified in other societies, but it is foreign to the character and purposes of our unique fraternity. Members of those fraternities should understand that there is "a distinction with a difference" especially in respect to the point here considered, between other bodies and the Masonic organization. "There are some men," says one of our esteemed contemporaries, "Who coming among us imbubed with the principles and accustomed to the usages of these modern societies, consider it their duty to exert all their influence in persuading their friends to become members of the craft." Men who thus misunderstand the true policy of our institution should be instructed by their older and more experienced brethren that it is wholly in opposition to all our laws and principles to ask any man to become a Mason, or to exercise any kind of influence upon the minds of others, except that of a truly Masonic life and the practical exemplification of it tenets, by which they may be induced to ask permission into our lodges. "We must not seek —we must be sought." THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE It may be said that a strict adherence to this ancient landmark will retard the growth of Freemasonry and limits its influence. Not long ago the writer of this paper was present at the observance of the anniversary of a popular beneficial order, on which occasion the leading speaker advocated proselytism—the inviting and urging of outsiders to join the order—as essential to its very life. He declared that all fraternal organizations depended upon the exercise of this proselytizing spirit for their prosperity; and he added the statement that, being himself a Mason, he knew the Masonic fraternity of the present time recognize the aid of proselytizing. The fact is, that a business man who does his duty as master of a big city lodge is obliged, in a measure at least, to neglect his own affairs and the brethren cannot do too much to show their appreciation of his efforts.—Masonic Chronicler. There are Masons and Masons. There is the Mason who is perfect in his work of the order, always present at the meetings of all the bodies, decorated with charm and pins and rings, the admiration of himself and the envy of the younger brethren. But examine him closely. What is he outside the lodge room? If he is selfish in his aims, hard with his tenants or employees, neglectful of his Wanted 50 To learn Hair Dress SUPERIOR HAIR For the next Sixty (60) Days we in Hair Culture by mail, and course is completed, for only terms.

MONROE, MANAGER IMPLE Not all Masons are Masons family, unscrupulous in his business methods, smutty or profane in conversation, deaf to appeals of the needy; if he is any or all of these, that man is no true Mason. He is rather a hindrance to the order. The strongest argument against Masonry is the Mason himself. The world knows, as well as we do, what our order inculcates, and it also knows far better than we realize, whether we are practicing what we profess, and when it sees the divergence between practice and precept, it desplises you and the order also. The lodge is judged by its members. This may not be fair nor logical, but it is the case nevertheless. We must accept things as the are, not as they ought to be, and govern ourselves accordingly. The unfaithful Mason is injuring the whole fraternity. As an individual, he may not care what the world thinks of him, but he was sworn to protect the good name of his brethren, and when he brings his own good name into disrepute he is inflicting a most serious injury on every other Mason in the community. As a secret organization, the only knowledge that the world can have of our order is the effect it has on men who belong to it. If it tends to make them good men and true, then it will judge well of the institution; if it does not do this the opinion that will be formed must be evil.—The Masonic Chronicle. 100 Ladies Pressing and Handle PREPARATIONS we will teach a $35.00 Course and issue Diplomas when the by $6.00 Cash or installment information, send stamps for re- vantage of our Special Offer.

Our labors and progress during these years are wellknown, especially by our old readers. It is our purpose to continue work along progressive lines and ever be found laboring for the uplift of this community, our people and especially our civic and business activities. The Tribune extends hearty appreciation to its patrons for favors shown and hope for a continuation of the same. The cost of producing a newspaper now-a-days has increased more than one hundred and sixty per cent., and the poor newspaper man is in quite a strait with this great increase of cost and a non-increase of subscription rate. Four weeks and three more days will be the great battle of ballots, at which time the voters of this country will give Mr. Wilson his walking ticket by electing that stalwart American, Chas E. Hughes, President of this great nation. The Tribune is not a personal organ. It is published for the good of the entire community. It will gladly give publicity to any movement or any organization that has for its object the good of the people. The only thing necessary is for the proper information be given. The management of The Tribune is above personal differences whenever it comes to work along the above lines. It is not too early for those having in charge the arrangements for the celebration of Emancipation day to meet in order to arrange for a proper observance of this day. The meeting should be called at a time when all interested can meet so that thoughts may be blended for a creditable celebration. The back-to-the-farm movement is being emphasized here as never before. This spirit should be caught by our men. In an unostentatious way they should secure control of desirable plots of ground along the wake of improvement. Act now before it is too late. The failure of over seven hundred Negro children to secure accommodation in the public schools of the city shows in an irrefutable argument the necessity of an additional school for our children. Heretofore the exact number of Negro children turned away from the schools each year, though large, has not been definitely known but the method employed by Superintendent Gibson this year to ascertain the unaccommodated, gives the exact number of children who failed to get admission into schools and their addresses. That there are between seven and eight hundred children in the city who are unaccommodated in the public schools is a great reflection on our commonwealth. It is a serious lack in our public educational facilities and from far and near it will be looked upon as a defect which no other city of the character of ours would allow to exist. That immediate remedy for this lack of accommodation in our public school educational facilities should be made there can be no question. Adequate accommodation in our schools should be made for every child of school age within the city, both white and colored, for it is the duty of the city to see to it that every child is given an opportunity to develop himself in that training which is America's greatest and most helpful medium to a successful life. It is scarcely likely that there is any great lack of provision here for white children but for Negro children there is not the slightest room for doubt. The seven hundred add Negro children who were turned away from the four schools show the need of more accommodation for our children and show it in a most convincing manner. The success of certain activities in this community depends on our people and if we, in great part, are to be denied the opportunity for developing ourselves into helpful, useful citizens by being deprived of educational privileges then these activities in which we play so important a part will not reach their greatest possibilities. That it is imperative some immediate step be taken to adequately accommodate our children in the schools no one who has the slightest knowledge of existing conditions can possibly deny. "Trade Boosting Campaign!" It sounds good to the wide-awake progressive business man, for he realizes that in movements of this kind his business is helped manifold. Its a capital idea which the National Negro Business League has struck upon to inaugurate a trade boosting campaign among Negro merchants. We hear about the trade boosting campaigns started by various white commercial organizations. We read columns of how many white merchants have placed their commodities wide-spread before the country, and we hear about the travels of scores of state commercial organizations whose sole object is to increase the sale of their home made products and to boost their own commodities. But we've been a sleep along this line, except in a few isolated cases, a sleep as to our opportunities of drawing the very patronage to us which we thought was not willing to support us, but which, in fact, was simply waiting to be invited to come to our places of business and give us that uplifting hand which every Negro must put forth if we are to take our proper place in the commercial world. We are, as a people, big boosters along certain lines and we have developed greatly in this respect. We boost our lodges and fraternal societies in a way which is surprisingly healthy. We have a boost for our religious bodies which is heard on every side and everywhere, but the boost, the shove for our commercial endeavors is weak and many times lacking altogether. The suggestion of the National Negro Business League to remedy this fault of our comes at a very opportune time. The inauguration of a boosting campaign in every community where Negroes are in business should meet with hearty approval and we see much need of such a movement right here in our midst. There are hundreds of our people here who are not patronizing our business men because they do not know of the whereabouts of their places of business or of the kind of stock they are carrying. The fault for this non-patronization of many of our people is very largely due to the lack of advertising on the part of our merchants. This is an age of advertising. Everybody's reading, reading to see what and where they can get the best bargains and if our merchants fail to grasp the chance to put their goods before the public and to advertise any attractive inducement they may have to offer, then they cannot expect to get the patronage they would like to have. The booster idea is an excellent one and it will be profitable to the business men here if they inaugurate it. APPEAL FOR REPUBLICANS. Washington, D. C., Oct 2—"In appealing to the people to return the Republican party to power we have confidence that the record of incompetency of the present administration will make impossible its continuance", declared Representative Thomas S. Crago, Pennsylvania, in a statement given out here by the National Republican Congressional Committee. "One year and five months of Democratic rule found the country with industries paralized., the treasury almost bankrupt, our rights over Panama canal surrendered, wages reduced, the cost of living increased and our army landed on Mexican soil without excuse or justification." continued Representative Crago, who is Past Commander-in-chief of the veterans of Foreign wars. Then the war with Europe. The so-called war tax appears, industries revived because of war orders, high sounding diplomatic notes are written, the cry goes up. The President has kept us out of war when in fact every move he made weakened us in the estimation of other nations, for we committed acts of war against a weaker nation, Mexico, and begged a servile truce with nations we knew were strong. "The weakness of our foreign policies; the record of broken pledges, the surrender of our rights, the useless expenditure of millions and the hypocrisy of Democratic legislation is so broad that the patience of the American people has been severely tested. The Wilson administration went into power proclaiming 'pitiless publicity' and it will leave branded as a gum shoe, secret Cabinet regime. "The public recalls the fiasco of Vera Cruz and President Wilson's unpardonable act in lifting the embargo on arms that our soldiers should meet death from guns furnished to assasins by permission of our own government. In this so-called peace more lives have been lost and more money spent than we sacrificed in the war with Spain. If we are at peace should more than a hundred thousand of our boys be paying the price of war, taken from homes and families, to play a game of peace. If we have been kept from war by any magic of the President, then how does it happen that Spain, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland and Denmark, countries much nearer the European conflict than we are, have been able to maintain peace? "With a great flourish of trumpets the Democrats assumed control, and their record is a dismal recital of broken promises and unfulfilled pledges. The issues of this campaign are: "First, tariff revision by the friends of a protective tariff, and no twelfth hour conversation to the idea of a tariff board can fool the people. "Second, an administration which would put the United States not only first among other nations, but would protect us from forces whithin which would destroy the foundation of justice on which our government is founded. "Third, a readjustment of the fiscal affairs of the government to the end that the people, who pay the bills, shall have some say as to the amount and methods of expenditures." TO CELEBRATE ITS TWENTY SIXTH ANNIVERSARY The 20th anniversary of the Nicolsonboro Baptist church will be celebrated tomorrow. This is one of two leading churches in the county. It was organized twenty-six years ago by the late Rev Alexander Harris, who held its pastorate until his death. He was succeeded by Rev. Daniel Wright. The anniversary occasion is always looked forward to with pleasure by the members and friends of the church. SAVANNAH HOME ASSOCIATION TENDERS RECEPTION On last Sunday afternoon the Savannah Home Association held an informal reception at their rooms 410 Taylor street, west, in honor of its president, Mr. Edward H. Burke, who has just returned from a trip north The occasion was the celebration of his election as grand auditor of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows at the recent B. M. C., held in Washington D. C. Fully one hundred members of the association and their guests were present to congratulate him for the distinction that he brought to Savannah. The affair was quite a surprise to President Burke who had no knowledge of the arrangements until he arrived at the Union Station where he found a large number of the members of the organization and many friends awaiting him. Immediately upon his arrival he was hurried to the headquarters of the association where he was showered with words of welcome and congratulations. A short program had been arranged with Dr. B. W. S. Daniels and the guest of honor as the principal speakers. Mr. James F. Butler vice president of the association, acted as master of ceremonies. Mr. Joseph J. Brown had charge of the arrangements which were handled in an experienced way and in a manner becoming to the association. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Those present at the Y. M. C. A on last Sunday were given a rare treat when Dr. J. A. Martin, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. church, gave a description of the impression made upon him during his recent attendance upon various conferences and school openings. To hear from Dr. Martin that our people are showing signs of progress everywhere, brought enthusiasm and hope to all present. On tomorrow the principal address will be delivered by Dr. R. H. Singleton, the pastor of St. Phillip A. M. E. Church. It goes without saying that every one who attends will receive full value for his presence as Dr. Singleton is rated as one of the most forceful speakers of this section. There will also be the following musical selections: Instrumental solo Miss Daisy Singfield; instrumental duet, Miss Daisy Daniels and Mrs. J. B. Horne. The meeting will begin at 5 p. m. COLUMBUS CHAPTER INITIATES THIRTY-FIVE Omar Chapter No. 226, O. D. S. of Columbus, Ga., is making merry over their 35 members received under dispensation granted on the 30th of June by the R. G. P. They were organized on the 4th of March, 1915-with a membership of 34. They now have a membership of 69. INSTALLATION The installation of the U. S.. G, L. A. No. 1 was held after their regular monthly meeting Sunday August 27th. The following officers were installed: Mrs. E. Harris, advocate. After which Phoenix, vice president; Mrs. E. E. Quarterman, financial secretary; Miss F. E. Kennedy, recording secretary; Mrs. B. Theus, treasurer; Mrs. J. Turner, chairman of finance and chairman of health; Mrs. A. M. Loy, clerk of order; Mrs. P. Jackson, chaplain; Mrs. E. Harris, advocate. After this a program was rendered. PLAY GROUND NEWS The Urban League play ground has now a weekly attendance of more than six hundred. The following dances are being given on the grounds: "Kinda polka," "Lazy Mary," "Howdy do my partner"; "Come dance with me," "Have you ever seen a lassie?" "Follow me to London" and "Little play mate." The children between 8 and 12 years are playing the ring games of Three Deep, Skip Tag, Beat the Beater, and Black and White. Teams have been formed by the girls from 12 to 16 years for volley ball, soccer foot ball and cage ball and the teams are working hard in practice for the public games in the near future. Dodge ball and delay basket ball are also being played. The playground is visited weekly by many adults and the visitors speak highly of the manner in which the children acquit themselves. SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN FINDS CHIVALRY CODE DIFFERS Oma Houghton, who left his native North Carolina home two weeks to seek his fortune in Boston, made a discovery last night. Houghton left a west end moving picture theatre when the show was over and jostled Miss Florence Brown and Miss Edith Terry of Elmgr street, Cambridge. Both young women are colored and good looking. Houghton said "Hello niggers", and when they ignored him repeated the salutation and then kicked at one of the girls. A white man grabbed Houghton by the scruff of the neck at this and threw him into the street for an officer to pick up. Miss Brown, in telling Judge Parmenter of it in the police court, said that Houghton seemed surprised as he picked himself up and remarked: "Why down south where I come from they'd have shaken hands with me for that." Horton denied having kicked at the young woman. The two had jostled him, he said, and he had jostled back. He was held in $300 for sentence next Tuesday.—Boston Traveler. REFUSES TO WORK WITH COL- ORED MECHANICS This Caused a Nervy Boss to Tell the Kickers They Might Go On Lancaster avenue, at the intersection of 38th and Hamilton streets, a crowd of curiosity seekers have gathered daily during the week watching colored mechanics laying pressed bricks in the front wall of a building. Of course it is no new thing to have such work done. The novelty of the affair is that it is being done by, and in such a creditable manner by colored bricklayers. Those familiar with the fact that some of the handsomest structures which have in quite recent years been erected in prominent cities in the Southland, were designed and erected by colored architects and mechanics. But white people of the northland are ignorant of this part of his history, but are more familiar with his criminal record. The general ignorance of the real efficiency and proverbial industry of the colored mechanic caused curious crowds of people to gather and look with astonishment at the men working on the beautiful edifice undercourse of construction on 38th street And yet these colored laborers did not seek the notoriety they have received. It so happened that a Mr. Engle desired to build a handsome garage, and engaged workmen to erectit. Among those who applied was a colored man by the name of Jones L. Freeman. Freeman happens to be a skillful bricklayer and makes working on pressed brick a specialty. And it so happened that Mr. Engle is a sensible practical business man, caring very little about the color of the man, who works for him, desiring only to have the work done in a good workmanlike manner. And that boss, after being assured by the colored man that he would see to it that his work would not suffer, informed the white bricklayers that he intended to keep the colored man, and that they might go. And go they did. But the work, is proceeding beautifully just the same: On visiting the spot a few days ago, a Tribune reporter found some white bricklayers working on its side and rear walls, but all of the artistic work which is under way on the front is being done by colored bricklayers. In talking to Jones L. Freeman, he told the reporter that he was born and learned his trade in Concord, N. C., and had worked for years at his trade in Tampa, Fla.—Philadelphia Tribune 10 Save your MONEY and it will SAVE YOU BANK ACCOUNT YOUR best friend in time of need is a bank account.

M.'Stearns. ‘The successor to Felix, Porclus Fes- tus, seems to have Leen in some re spects like minded to Felis, for he, too. avas willing to do the Jews a pleasure (xsiv, 27; xxv, 12), and he would have ‘sent Paul back to“ Jerusalem had he deen willing to zo. ‘his was what'the Jews" desired, that' ther mistt, lay in walt for bim by the waf and [i kim \sxv, 3). Their hatred $f Paul dees j not seem to have decreased iu the lees? during two years, for they Werg stilt full of grievous complaints against bint which they could not prove (verses 2, 7). We was having wondrous fellow: ship with the Lord Jesus, for whose sake he was suffering and of whom ‘it Jras written, “False witnesses did rise p: they laid to my charge things that f knew not." “Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness” (Ps. xxv, 11; Isis, 20). When we consider such words, as these, “Thou shalt be Hid from the scourge of the tongue,” “Thou shalt | keep them secretly in a parilion from the strife of tongues,” “There shall no _ evil befall thee,” “No weapon that is formed agaiust thee shall prosper* | Job v, 2t; Ps. xxxi, 20; xel, 10; Isa. | liv, 17) and other similar assurances ‘ we are tempted to wonder a little, but then we remember that Paul was told that he must suffer great things for ' Christ's sate, and he faught others Mthat we must! through much tribula- tion enter into the kInzdom of God and that all wha will live godly in Christ Jestis shall sutfer persecution. And our Lord said to His disciples that in the world we would have tribulation, anil after He ascended Ie suid te one of ! the churches that the devil would cast some of them into prison, but they were, to continue faithful even if they j died for it, snd some who bad been | killed were told to rest awhile till oth- ; ers should be killed ds they were (.Acts is, 16; xiv, 9: II Tim, 1, ]2yJohn xvi, 33; Rev. ii, 10; vi, 11). He certainly lores His own and will to the utter- most, yet He allowed the disciples to toil nearly all night against a con- trary wind, and He allowed Lazarus to continue sick and die and be buried that God might be glorified, - | Wa must bear fn mind that just be causee are His we have the world, | the destagnd the devil to contend with, | but He will not suffer us to be tried above that we are able, and all our trials and afflictions are working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (I Cor, x, 13; II Cor. ty, 15-18). When from the kingdom and the glory we look back over our ite story and consider all the way by which He has led us we may per- hays see a reason for everything He has done or permitted. But we shall surely say right was the pathway lead. iil to this. It therefose becomes i during this little while to say, “As for God, His way ts, perfect;” “Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of na- tions” (Ps, xviii, 30; Rev. xv, Sil). Ipenly we could have no will of our own and rest wholly and fully in the Perfect will and love of God we would hare a foretaste of heaven in spite of all our trials here. When Paul refused to returii to Jerusalem and appealed to Caesar: that decided matters for the present, and Festus said, “Unto Cac- sar shalt thou go” (verses 9-12)." It may be that the Lord’s night message to lilm, “So must thou bear witness also at Rome" (xxiii, 11), helped bim to decide to appeal to Caesar, for Cae- sar meant Rome, and this may have seemed to hii Lis opportunity. King Agrippa and Bernice having come to Caesarea to salute Festus, the whole matter was laid before them, and Agrippa expressed a desire to hear Paul for himself, and that will be our lesson for next week. Thus was beliig fulfilled the Lord's message to Ananias concerning Paul, “He is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the zentlles and kings and the children of Israet (x, 13). As Festus rehearsed the matter to Agrip- pa, he said that the whole matter seem- ed to be a question of Jewish superst!- tién, and specially egncerning one Jesus- who was dead, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive (verse 19). Does not that seem to describe the knowl- edge that many so called .enlightened people have of Him even now? Many are like Gallio and care for none of these things (xvill, 14-17), while many thore, efen among churchgoers, who take some part in the public worship outwardly, know nothing of Him as a Personal Saviour and friend. 5 Ce ee : HOUSES FOR RENT | ° ~ WEST SDE——_. 7 q = F214 W, doth strect....5 rooins and bath... .§0L00 per month’ .

Oct. 8, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL -SERIES. | Memory Verses, 14, 15—Golden J ext, Acts xxiv, 16—Commentary Prepared by Rey. D. M. Stearns. This chapter gives us Paul's testi- mony before the high priest and the elders from Jerusalem, at Caesarea, in the presence of the governor Felix, and also some account of one of Paul's talks with Felix and his wife Dru- | sila, The persecttors from Jerusalem ‘Drought with them an orator who, with flattery for Felix, did a large amount of fylag against Paul, which the Jews indorsed, saying that these things were so (verses 1-9). Paul de nied thelr eccusations and defied them to prove what they said and then.stat- ed the case truthfully (verses 10-13). | His confession that he believed all things which are written in the law and &m the prophets (verse 14) reminds ug that our Lord sald that the two with whom He walked to Emmaus were foolish in not doing so, and also that Ge expounded from Moses and the prophets and the psalms the things concerning Himself, saying that all must be fulfilled (Luke xxiv, 25-27, 44). It 1s counted heresy even now by many supposedly orthodox preachers to look for a Mteral Ierael to occupy the land given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and a Uteral kingdom of God on earth with Israel as-a center, who shall,-as a nation made righteous by receiving Jesus Christ as their Mes- slah when Te shall come in His glory, then bring blessing to all nations. 1 have been told to my face by a teach- er-of large Bible classes that the Jews were no more to God than the Indians of our country, but I am sti! belleving God and standing with our Lord and with Paul and expect se to continue by His grace. As to the resurrection of the dead, both of-the Just and unjust, when understood In the light $f all Seripture, that also is most simple and belpfuL ‘All the dead shall rise; that 1s clear net-only from lesson verse 15, but also from our Lord's own words in John vy, 28,'29, with Dan. xif, 2 That the heur of John v, 28, may, and will, cov er-a thousand years fs easy from the fact that the hour of John y, 25, has already covered nearly 1,900 years. In Luke xtv, 14, the resurrection of the just ds spoken of as atime of reward for the righteous, and I Cor, xv, 23, says “They that are Christ's at His coming.” In Rev. xx, 6, 6, it ts writ- ten that those who do not take part in the first resurrection will not rise till the end of the thousand years. There 4s no foundation in the Scriptures for the thought that our resurrection takes Place when we die or for the use of the ‘words at a funeral “he is not here, he is risen.” for those words were used of the Iteral resurrection body of our Lord: There is no foundation for the thought of a general resurrec- tion of all, good and bad, at what is called the last day. If this sounds strange to any who resid, please do not turn away from St, as I once did, but look into it humbly pnd prayerfully, with a real desire to know the mind of the Lord, and He will surely teach you. Let us cultl- vate a conscience void of offense to- yward God first and then toward men (werse 16), Felix, having heard both sides and seeing through some things, decided that the matter be deferred until Lysias, the chief captain, could come and hdvise him more fully, Meantime he treated Paul well as 2 prisoner, giving him liberty and allow- ing his acquaintances to see him and minister to him (verses 22, 23). As we think of Philip and his household and all who heard the word in the home of Cornelius, it is possible that Paul was made as comfortable as a prisoner could be, and, no doubt, he used every opportunity to preach Christ crucifled, risen and returning to set up His kingdom, We may infer from verse 27 that the case was deferred for at least two years so, that Paul must have hadj much rest gud many opportunities. We cannot think as. well of Felix as we would like to, for he was evidently an up to date grafter and a man Pleaser, often sending for Paul to hear him talk, trembling a Mttle sometimes under his searching words, but always hoping that Paul would offer him mon- ey to set him free, and kéeping Paul a priapner to please the Jews (verses 2427), What we call graft, or, as in the Bible, taking bribes, is a very old story, and was forbidden by the law of Moses. Simuel was free from it, but not so hig xons (Deut. xvi, 19; 1 Sam. vill, 3; xi, 3). : We must not cgnfuse this with the saying of our Lord, as some do, that the Spirit will convince the world ‘of The pride of every woman is her hair, If you want to VEE and FELL.
