What was perhaps the most unique social function of the season and one which afforded much pleasure for the many guests present was the second annual hallowe'en masquerade given under the auspices of the Laetian Club at St. Mary's hall on Tuesday evening, October 31st. The hall was tastily decorated in colors suggestive of the Hallowe'en season and added much to the brilliancy of the affair.
The guests began to arrive at an early hour and immediately upon their arrival began to make merry. They were attractively masked and their representations and impersonations were varied and interesting, much more so than last year.
Promptly at 10 o'clock a line of march was started, which ended in a circle around the hall and as couple after couple was called to the centre and unmasquered the guests were afforded many astonishments. A menu, in keeping with the season, consisting of punch, gingeretts, apples and candy, was served. In abundance and was enjoyed by all present.

GREAT SURPRISES GIVEN G. O. P BY RESULTS IN WESTERN AND PACIFIC SLOPE STATES
Is Yet Undecided
Night of Election Hughes Election Seemed Assured and Conceded by All the Big Dailies of the Country Great Surprises Shown Later. The New York Herald truly says: "As California goes, so will the election."
From Tuesday night to the present writing, the election results is uncertain. Both parties are laying claim to California. The Democrats are persistent as to their claims while the Republicans are calmly awaiting the official report, and at the same time with an experienced eye opened for the least illegal indication. The Republicans are fully assured of sufficient votes to insure the election of Mr. Hughes if the 13 votes in California are secured.
The sure Republican states are Connecticut, 7; Delaware, 3; Illinois, 29; Indiana 15; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Massachusetts, 18; Michigan 15; Minnesota 12; New Jersey, 14; New York 45; Oregon, 5; Pennsylvania, 38; Rhode Island 5; South Dakota, 5; Vermont, 4; West Virginia 8; Wisconsin 13. These states with a total of 255 sure votes, with 13 from California which is doubtful, the election will be in favor of Mr. Hughes.
The number necessary for election is 266.
Conte's already are threatened. In New Hampshire the Democrats declare they will contest the victory of the four, Republican electors. This election in that normally solid Republican state went to the Republicans by a margin of fewer than five" hundred votes and the Democrats, without charging fraud or irregularities, say the electors will never be permitted to cast their ballots for president until they have satisfied Congress, which is Democratic, that they were properly chosen.
In Delaware, where the Republicans won by a narrow majority, a contest also will be started. In West Virginia also the Democrats threaten to question the election of the Republicans. They assert that the Democrats carried the state. They talk about starting recount proceedings in every state where the result is close. That has caused considerable sensation among the Republicans because they are fully aware of what might happen in such a situation with the Democrats in control of Congress.
If the election of a state question the election of their opponents the votes of the Republican and Democratic electors are sent to the President of the Senate. He calls the House of Representatives into joint session with the Senate, and the members of both decide which of the electors shall be seated. It has been figured that in the past when proceedings in any degree similar in character were started the party which had control of Congress was victorious.

TRIBUNE OFFICE MECCA FOR PEOPLE ELECTION NIGHT
A special telegraphic wire with one of the best operators in the service held forth at The Tribune office Tuesday night. Early in the afternoon inquires commenced pouring in over the phone. After six o'clock it required the constant attention of one person to answer the phone and give information to anxious inquirers. It was pleasingly noted that the great number of inquiries came from the fairer sex. As fast as the bulletins were received they were announced to the large crowd assembled in the office and the hundreds on the outside. They were also posted on the outside and could be seen by the splendidly arranged light. A suite of rooms on the second, floor of the building was prepared for the ladies, many of whom took advantage of the same. A special bulletin was posted up there for them. The Tribune was commended by all present for the very excellent service given.
At no other election was the interest more manifested. This was especially noted on Wednesday and Thursday when the office force was kept constantly at the phone answering questions and replying to anxious callers. Election returns were also received at 464 West Broad street where a large crowd was gathered, and those in charge commended for their enterprise.
G. H. BOWEN WINS OUT
FIGHT FOR HOPE CREST
After Spirited Contest Negro Real Estate Dealer Defeats Opponents
After a spirited but friendly contest through legal channels, G. H. Bowen, the leading Negro real estate dealer, defeated his opponents and secured warranty deed to that beautiful and most desirable subdivision at Isle of Hope, known as Hope Crest. Mention of this property has already been made thru these columns and the same would have already been placed on market but for the fact that Mr. Bowen was refused a deed when it was found that it was to be sold to Negroes for summer homes and for recreation purposes. Not to be out done, Mr. Bowen at once began legal actions against the seller and forced him to come across with the deeds. In this transaction he has not only secured one of the most desirable pieces of salt water property for his people, but has also established a precedent for the Negroes of Savannah in securing their property rights under the law.
Mr. Bowen has already begun to clear off the property and will put it on sale as soon as it can be put in shape.
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED IN WOMENS' MEETING
Women to Discuss Questions Vital to The Conditions of the Community
Much interest is being manifested in the meeting for women only to be held at St. Philip A. M. E. church, Charles street, on tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the Adult committee and Sunshine Workers of the Urban League at 4 o'clock. There are certain deplorable conditions existing especially among the neglected class of our young people that are very harmful and need immediate attention and action, in a practical way. These things will be discussed by one who is in a position to know. Every woman who has the welfare of the race at heart should be present.
Aside from the main address, the following numbers will be presented: Song..... Congregation Vocal Solo.....Mrs. Wilhelmina Hooker Piano Solo.....Miss Camilla Marshall Vocal Solo.....Miss Geneva Flsher Beth Eden's Female Quartette.....Mesdames W. Hooker, and A. E. Orner, Miss Bertha and Sarah Lee. Mrs. Rachel Moore who has been visiting Washington, D. C., and other points, will also give account of what is being done to improve the neglected youth of these places.

NUMBER 10
CHARITY HOSPITAL $20,000 CAMPAIGN
TO RE WAGED FROM DECEMBER 5th TO DECEMBER 20th
Entire City to be Canvassed—Following Statement is Submitted
Some twenty-three years ago, feeling the great necessity of having some place where colored patients could be treated, where colored physicians could treat their patients and where colored nurses could be taught to nurse their patients in an intelligent and efficient manner, the colored citizens of Savannah, founded the institution now known as Charity Hospital and Training School for Nurses.
Coming into being in such a manner and filling such a long felt want, Charity. Hospital increased in popular opinion and in amount of work done, but being dependent upon popular donations for its principal support, its plant and equipment have failed to keep up with its growth. For the years.1912-1915 inclusive, a total of 3,322 patients were treated of which, 1,351 were purely charity and of the 1,351 charity cases 562 had operations performed free of charge. This amount of work was done with a limited capacity of 32 beds. During the years of its existence, the training school has graduated 42 nurses from various states.
During the past two years, there have been numerous occasions when patients have had to be turned away for lack of accommodation. We are now instituting a campaign, beginning December 5th to 20th to raise $20,000 to build and equip a modern hospital of about 60 beds to take care of this large and growing work. The hospital is a public institution, being owned by the colored citizens of Savannah.
Will 25 persons in this city volunteer to give $25; will 50 volunteer to give $15, will 75 volunteer to give$10, will 100 volunteer to give $5, will 150 volunteer to give $3, will 200 volunteer to give $25. Surely a city with a population of 90,000, at last 2,000 whom God has so countifully blessed can raise this amount. This will bring forth 750 volunteers. If you lead others will follow. All donations will be credited by the committee wearing the badge of the different teams. The captains of the teams are: No. 1. Mr. Sol C. Johnson; No. 2. Miss C. Emma Lewis; No. 3. Mrs. Maden; No. 4. Mrs. M. D. Tolbert; No. 5. Mr. H. B. Wright; No. 6. Mrs. Newton; No. 7. Mrs. L. M. Gadsden; No. 8. Mrs. Lula Jenkins; No. 9. Prof. Thompson; No. 10. Mr. W. M. Wright. The captains of the junior teams are: Miss Alice Ellis No. 1; Miss Salle Houstoun, No. 2; Miss Eureka Jackson, No. 3; Mrs. Rosanna Davis No. 4; Mrs. L. A. Woodard, No. 5; Miss Emma Quinney No. 6; Mrs. Anna Orner, No. 7; Miss Sarah Lee No. 8; Mrs. Lydia Coleman No. 9; Miss Jennie Delaware, No. 10; Mrs. Phenie Howard No. 11; Mrs. Taylor, No. 12; Mrs. Eliza Hill, No. 13; Miss Lula Smith, No. 14; Miss Carrie Hendrickson No. 15.
Members of the campaign committee are P. A. Denegall, chairman; Rev. S. T. Redd, Sol. C. Johnson, L. E. Williams, Rev. W. L. Cash, L. M. Pollard, Rev. Daniel Wright, J. H. C. Butler, Prof. L. B.

Though Full and Straight, Skirts May Differ Widely
SLEEVES AND POCKETS ARE INTERESTING
New York October 27. It is especially true this autumn that variety is one of the greatest charms of the styles. Although those who have been looking for revolutionary changes in the fashion have, no doubt, been disappointed, they will certainly admit that the diversity in the present styles more than makes up for the absence of anything that might be called radically different. Fresh interest is always being aroused by the clever variations of the present straight, full silhouette that meets the eye at every turn.
D. MCCAL.
Afternoon Dress of Satin with Draped Skirt
Although the general rule is full, straight-hanging, there are dozens and dozens of this type which differ widely one from the other. One of the most noticeable features which accounts for some of the differences is the uneven hem advocated by many of the Parisian houses. In some skirts the effect is obtained by a gradual lengthening at the back. In others, panels at the front and back or at the sides of the skirt, but not all around; and this is another means of varying the placing of fur banding of skirts. Some of the French designers who lay particular stress on the uneven hem are Callot, Bulloz, Agnes and Beer.
Not only skirts but coats, too, are marked by the uneven hem. Not a few drop at the sides, while the front and back are even, and some coats with full, rippling peplums are a good deal longer in the back than in the front.
Another theme which has no end of variations is that of the pocket. Through the long life of the pocket, it has been truly amazing to watch the resources of the designers, who have never lacked in bringing out something novel in this direction. And, still, new treatments are seen every day, for large and small pockets are still the vogue on garments of every kind and for every occasion, from the simple tailored waist-tips and skirts to the most dressy frocks and suits.
In afternoon frocks, a most charming effect is the soft side drapery on skirts, falling like a cascade. This style is extremely graceful in soft satins, silks, chiffon velvet and even in the plain serges and other soft woolens. The dress shown here illustrates this pretty mode. It is fashioned of soft satin with a collar of fur and a banding of fur around the edge of the skirt. The waist in inner effect outlined with braid and there are extensions at the sides which end in little pockets. Flat braid is one of the new dress trimmings, and the lacquered braid is one of the prettiest novelties in this line. It has a dull polished finish.
Some New Sleeves
There are several new fashions in sleeves, and among them the most striking are those that are quite full at the elbow and fit smugly below it. The leg-o'mutton is being brought forward again, and sleeves with deep cuffs are very popular. On its a novel idea in sleeves was noticed in a blue serge dress trimmed with mole-skin fur at the collar, hem and nockets. It had tight-fitting sleeves, the upper part of which was of fur and the deep cuff of blue serge.
There are a few coats without nockets, all very snug and comfortable, especially the bill-enveloping top coat buttoned to the neck and covering the
entire dress. The coat in the illustration is of heavy velours with large bone buttons and very large gathered pockets. Few women will be satisfied without one of these practical coats, which may be usel in all kinds of weather.
Children's Fashinos
Children are not neglected, by any means, by those who set the modes. A great deal of attention is given to their clothes, which to a certain degree follow the fashions of their elders. The Russian blouse style is frequent-

A Heavy Coat for all Kinds of Weatherly employed for youngsters, both for school and afternoon frocks. Both plump and slender girls can wear this style becomingly. To vary the long coat, which is always an essential item of the girl's wardrobe, smart little coat suits are now being worn as well. For dressy wear these are of velvet, wool velours and of serge, gabardine, checks and mixtures.
Embroidery in colored silks, wools and beads is as popular ofr young girls as for women. They also have as wide a choice in dress materials and colors. Green, dark, brown, deep red, and blues of all shades, are used for their coats and frocks.

Washington had the first "whack" at the Quality Amusement Company's presentation of "The City" Monday evening at the Howard. The premiers are usually allotted to New York City. A big audience turned out and it witnessed a big play done in big fashion by a company of artists big in talent. This is one of the most evenly balanced groups of players in the long list enrolled by the Quality corporation. In their able and conscientious efforts they do credit both to their skilled director, Mr. Edgar Forrest, and to themselves. The play deals with the things that often happens to people who forsake the simple home life of a small town, where they enjoyed close touch with neighbor and friend for the glare of the white lights and selfish opportunities of the city.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
between T and U streets, into a colored hotel. The structure is five stories high, and contains upward of one hundred rooms. It is in a neighborhood in which the Negro is largely in evidence and there would be no difficulty as to the color question. At a moderate cost the building could be adapted to hotel purposes. The need of a hotel for colored patrons has long been felt in this community. It is said that a white syndicate is willing to buy the property in and establish a colored hotel provided a suitable colored man could be found who can make the proposition a success.
HOW INDIANA SUPPRESSES LYNCHING
Indianapolis, Ind.—The Washington (Indiana) Herald says: "Many years ago the state of Indiana passed a law which operates to remove a sheriff who permits a mob to take a prisoner away from him. The removal is automatic. The burden rests with the sheriff to regain his office by showing that he did his whole duty in defense of his prisoner. Since that time, the year 1899, there has been but one case of lynching in Indiana, in which instance a mob took a prisoner from a Sullivan county sheriff and hanged him. But the prisoner was seized as he was being brought into the state from Illinois and before he was placed in jail. This case happened shortly after the passing of the law, and there has been no lynching since. Before that statute went into effect, the crime of lynching was common in Indiana. There is but one county in southern Indiana, we believe, that has not had one or more successful appeals to lynch law. The exception is this county (Davies), and there have been some narrow escapes here, the mob having been frustrated several times by brave and resourceful sheriffs. As a matter of fact, sheriffs frequently, if not usually, either were in sympathy with the purpose of the mobs or were indifferent. But they changed their attitude when the law presented to them the alternative of losing their offices if they fail to protect their prisoners. There is not a jail in Indiana which is not proof against a mob if it is in charge of a brave sheriff who respects his oath of office."

Much Diversity In Autumn Styles
Though Full and Straight, Skirts May Differ Widely
SLEEVES AND POCKETS ARE INTERESTING
New York October 27.—It is especially true this autumn that variety is one of the greatest charms of the styles. Although those who have been looking for revolutionary changes in the fashions have, no doubt, been disappointed, they will certainly admit that the diversity in the present styles more than makes up for the absence of anything that might be called radically different. Fresh interest is always being aroused by the clever variations of the present straight, full silhouette that meets the eye at every turn.
O. MCCALL
Afternoon Dress of Satin with Draped Skirt
Although the general rule is full, straight-hanging, there are dozens and dozens of this type which differ widely one from the other. One of the most noticeable features which accounts for some of the differences is the uneven hem advocated by many of the Parisian houses. In some skirts the effect is obtained by a gradual lengthening at the back. In others, panels at the front and back or at the sides of the skirt, but not all around; and this is another means of varying the placing of fur banding of skirts. Some of the French designers who lay particular stress on the uneven hem are Callot, Bulloz, Agnes and Beer.
Not only skirts but coats, too, are marked by the uneven hem. Not a few drop at the sides, while the front and back are even, and some coats with full, rippling peplums are a good deal longer in the back than in the front.
Another theme which has no end of variations is that of the pocket. Through the long life of the pocket, it has been truly amazing to watch the resources of the designers, who have never lacked in bringing out something novel in this direction. And, still, new treatments are seen every day, for large and small pockets are still the vogue on garments of every kind and for every occasion, from the simple tailored waist- and skirts to the most dressy frocks and suits.
In afternoon frocks, a most charming effect is the soft side drapery on skirts, falling like a cascade. This style is extremely graceful in soft satins, silks, chiffon velvet and even in the plain serges and other soft woolens. The dress shown here illustrates this pretty mode. It is fashioned of soft satin with a collar of fur and a handing of fur around the edge of the skirt. The waist in imperfect effect outlined with braid and there are extensions at the sides which end in little pockets. Flat braid is one of the new dress trimmings, and the lacquered braid is one of the prettiest novelties in this line. It has a dull polished finish.
Some New Sleaves
There are several new fashions in sleeves, and among them the most striking are those that are quite full at the elbow and fit snugly below it. The leg-o-mutton is being brought forward again, and sleeves with deep cuffs are very popular. Quite a novel idea in sleeves was noticed in a blue serge dress trimmed with mole-skin fur at the collar, hem and pockets. It had tight-fitting sleeves, the upper part of which was of fur and the deep cuff of blue serge.
There are a few coats without pockets, all very snug and comfortable, especially the all-enveloping top coat buttoned to the neck and covering the
entire dress. The coat in the illustration is of heavy velours with large bone buttons and very large gathered pockets. Few women will be satisfied without one of these practical coats, which may be usel in all kinds of weather.
Children's Fashinos
Children are not neglected, by any means, by those who set the modes. A great deal of attention is given to their clothes, which to a certain degree follow the fashions of their elders. The Russian blouse style is frequent-

A Heavy Coat for all Kinds of Weatherly employed for youngsters, both for school and afternoon frocks. Both plump and slender girls can wear this style becoming. To vary the long coat, which is always an essential item of the girl's wardrobe, smart little coat suits are now being worn as well. For dressy wear these are of velvet, wool velours and of serge, gabardine, cheeks and mixtures.
Embroidery in colored silks, wools and beads is as popular off young girls as for women. They also have as wide a choice in dress materials and colors. Green, dark brown, deep red, and blues of all shades, are used for their coats and frocks.

Washington had the first "whack" at the Quality Amusement Company's presentation of "The City" Monday evening at the Howard. The premiers are usually allotted to New York City. A big audience turned out and it witnessed a big play done in big fashion by a company of artists big in talent. This is one of the most evenly balanced groups of players in the long list enrolled by the Quality corporation. In their able and concientious efforts they do credit both to their skilled director. Mr. Lilgar Forrest, and to themselves. The play deals with the things that often happens to people who forsake the simple home life of a small town, where they enjoyed close touch with neighbor and friend for the glare of the white lights and solitish opportunities of the city.

It is a significant fact that all of the three colored weeklies in Washington and the most widely read national correspondents of the capitol are openly opposed to the continuance of the "Bruce Machine" in control of the colored schools of the District.

between T and U streets, into a colored hotel. The structure is five stories high, and contains upward of one hundred rooms. It is in a neighborhood in which the Negro is largely in evidence and there would be no difficulty as to the color question. At a moderate cost the building could be adapted to hotel purposes. The need of a hotel for colored patrons has long been felt in this community. It is said that a white syndicate is willing to buy the property in and establish a colored hotel provided a suitable colored man could be found who can make the proposition a success.
HOW INDIANA SUPPRESSES LYNCHING
Indianapolis, Ind.—The Washington (Indiana) Herald says: "Many years ago the state of Indiana passed a law which operates to remove a sheriff who permits a mob to take a prisoner away from him. The removal is automatic. The burden rests with the sheriff to regain his office by showing that he did his whole duty in defense of his prisoner. Since that time, the year 1899, there has been but one case of lynching in Indiana, in which instance a mob took a prisoner from a Sullivan county sheriff and hanged him. But the prisoner was seized as he was being brought into the state from Illinois and before he was placed in jail. This case happened shortly after the passing of the law, and there has been no lynching since. Before that statute went into effect, the crime of lynching was common in Indiana. 'There is but one county in southern Indiana, we believe, that has not had one or more successful appeals to lynch law. The exception is this county (Davies), and there have been some narrow escapes here, the mob having been frustrated several times by brave and resourceful sheriffs. As a matter of fact, sheriffs frequently, if not usually, either were in sympathy with the purpose of the mobs or were indifferent. But they changed their attitude when the law presented to them the alternative of losing their offices if they fail to protect their prisoners. There is not a jail in Indiana which is not proof against a mob if it is in charge of a brave sheriff who respects his oath of office.'

There is no greater field of labor and education in which to unfold than in our own beloved O. E.

Fraternity's Mission
In turning the pages of our memory tablet, passing events and future problems are reflected in our mirrored thoughts. We find no bounds for our love for one another, no doubts in truth, and we find friendship founded upon these principles and the bonds of fraternity welded by the golden links of friendship.
In fraternity we find the strong hand in the dark hour of adversity, the open heart in the time of need, and a tower of strength in moments of weakness, giving while yet there is life, bringing joy and gladness to the sorrowing soul. Although the sun is setting back of the hills, the evening light is seen at the window of the home, and the door stands ajar to give entrance to the toller when the night comes. Home Circle Leader.

A nobler Mission
It needs no argument to convince any Mason, who is not dead to his obligations that Masonry has some higher and nobler mission than mere conferring of degrees; that the work of the lodge room has a greater scope than the repetition of ceremonies, be they ever so venerable with age or beautiful with sentiments; that the records of a lodge which do not tell us of some good deed performed, some act of charity done for charity's sake, are but the memories of wasted hours, of vain pretensions, of solemn promises broken, or duties neglected.—Selected.

I do not refer to the brother who is always present at every-lodge meeting, ready to fill any place or forward any good-work.
That class of Masons is the life and soul of a-lodge. And the brethren are always ready to honor them.
I refer to a class of old dead heads, who are found in every lodge that I have visited, who must sit around telling tales, consuming time that the lodge should be at work, who must say when the lodge shall be opened, and how its affairs shall be run, do most of the talking, finding fault with everything that is not done as he directs. A regular sore-head, ever present for discord. The brethren fear to call a meeting, hold a festival, or do anything unless he is consulted or bosses the job. Hayn't you seen them? Of course you have, and have them in your mind now, while you read this.
This class of Masons is the bane of a lodge, a big hindrance to Masonry today; every lodge should have backbone enough to make this officious lodge pest retire to the back ground.
I would not treat any old Mason with discredit. But no man has a right to mar our beautiful ceremonies, however useful he may have been in the past.
Selfishness—he can't bear to see some other filling his old place. Some of them have bossed so long they will be hard to down, but kindly ask them to take a back seat and see that they do it.—Selected.
A Mason's first duty is to his family, for, above all things, he should be a loyal and loving son, a devoted and faithful husband, and a wise and generous father. The home is the place where the Mason is really needed. This is the place where he proves himself to be a worthy Mason and where he gains the admiration, love and respect, not only of his brethren, but of all people. It accepts opportunity to do much toward building up and assisting in maintaining the enviable reputation so long enjoyed by our noble Order.—Missouri Freemason.

The brethren fear to call a meeting, hold a festival, or do anything unless he is consulted or bosses the job.
Haven't you seen them? Of course you have, and have them in your mind now, while you read this.
This class of Masons is the bane of a lodge, a big hindrance to Masonry today; every lodge should have backbone enough to make this officious lodge pest retire to the back ground.
I would not treat any old Mason with discredit. But no man has a right to mar our beautiful ceremonies, however useful he may have been in the past.
Selfishness—he can't bear to see some other filling his old place. Some of them have bossed so long they will be hard to down, but kindly ask them to take a back seat and see that they do it.—Selected.
A Mason's first duty is to his family, for, above, all things, he should be a loyal and loving son, a devoted and faithful husband, and a wise and generous father. The home is the place where the Mason is really needed. This is the place where he proves himself to be a worthy Mason and where he gains the admiration, love and respect, not only of his brethren, but of all people. It accepts opportunity to do much toward building up and assisting in maintaining the enviable reputation so long enjoyed by our noble Order.—Missouri Freemason.

ELECTION RESULTS UNSETTLED
Despite the fact that the press dis-
patches have given Mr. Wilson the
vietory over Mr, Hughes, yet this-must
be officially confirmed. Under no cir-
vesttistanets will Mr... Wilsén¥" election
be fully coneeded until a final official
connt has been declared. Mr. Hughes
needs only the votes of California to
land him... These votes have been con-
siderably delayed, Even tho leaders in
the other party are dissatisfied with
certain manipulations and.may de-
mand a reeount. It is learned that the
official figures will not be given out
until Monday. Until then, and pos-
sibly not until the Republican Execu-
tive Committee is willing to concede
it, will we follow suit.
The North and East are true to the
Principles of the Republican _ party.
The Western states, many of them,
have retrograded in this respect. As
for the South, it is “joined to its idol.”
Anxious was the hundreds of Repub-
licans in this section about the out-
come of the election. The situation
was the most peculiar ere known.
Never before was the result of a na-
tional election so very uncertain.
Election night nearly every one felt
that Hughes was elected but to awake
next morning disappointed. All of the
big dailtes conceetied his election hased
upon early returns from the western
states which formerly went the other

During the Republican primary cam-
palgn the first part of the year, Mr.
Henry §, Jackson, National Chairman
from this state, professed much friend-
ship for the colored members of the
party and freely charged Col. Walter
H. Johnson, State Chairman and his
followers as being “lilly whites.”,
Many colored men of the state had
no confidence whatever in Mr. Jack-
son or bis leadership and retused to
support him. Some of those who knew
him more intimately expressed their
great distrust. Despite his expressed
regards for the Negro, Mr. Jackson
has proven himself a veritable “wolf
in sheep's clothing”, This is based
upon the following excerpt taken from
Hearst's American, published in At-
lanta, November 3, under Jarze head
lines
. “Beware of wolves in sheep's
clothing, The Progressive ticket
is put ont in Georgia by a |
small bunch of men who controlled |
the Republican party for the past
thirty years and distributed zovern-
ment jobs amongst themselves,
“They pnt H. A. Rucker, a Ne-
gro man, in as collector of Inter-
nal Reveme for Georgia and Jud-
+ son Lyons, a Negro Man, as Regis-
ter of the Treasury, and bitterly
opposed the appointment of white
men in their places, ‘They also
made Judson Lyons their National
Comuitteeman, and Walter 1,
Aphnson, who is the present Tead-
er of the Progressive ticket, was
made their Sfate Chairman,
“Became the Jacksen wing qver-
threw them and established white
control of the Republican prty
they bolted and set up this Prosres-
sive ticket to try to iislead vot-
ers. ‘They charze that Henry Lin-
cola Jolnon, colored, is ruming
the Republican campaign in this
State, though he has not been in
the state since last Jone, and yet
not later than fast spring they de
rmanded that he he made National
Cominitteeman of the Republican
party, and made that demand the
basis on whigh they would remain |
in the Reymbliean party. Ty have
a dozen witnesses of high standing
to establish this fact.” |
Only a few of the colored voters
saw this despicable article hefore elec
tion day. ‘Those who saw it were .re-
sentful. Many of them who supported
him, have declared that they are now
against him. ‘They/clain that they
are ritce men first and party comes
next, and that no man in the party
<an so declare himself against the race
and hope to retain their confidence and
support. In this article Mr. Jackson
has shown thit he is not a loyal vor
true Republican. The principles he
enuneiated Are purely Demoeratic, and
he should he read out of the party's
council, At any rate if he has any
defense to make, same is awaited,

NATION'S CAPITOL
| Washington, D, C.,, Nov. 7—The most
sociable event in the afnals of the na-
tlon’s capital was the silver anniversary
of the marriage of, Judge and Mrs.
| Robert Heberton Terrell, which took
Place at their home, 1323 T street, Sat-
arday esening, October 28. From,8 to
12 "o'clock a steady stream of friends
came to offer congratulations and wish-
es for many more years of happiness in
the future. In the receiving line, as-
sisting the high contracting parties in
welcoming the host, were the two ac-
complished daughters ‘of Judge and
‘Mrs. Terrell, Misses Mary and Phyllis,
Miss Annett Claire Church, the sister
of Mrs. Terrell, Mrs. R. R. Church,
Ir., her sister- inlaw, the flower girl
of the occasion. The guests included
hundreds of the leading figures in the
social, business, professional, religious
and educational life, of Washington.
‘The house was beautifally decorated.
Great masses of chrysanthemums and
foliage with rich autumnal colors were
tastilly arranged on mantle and chande-
Mer. Tall, graceful palms, mingled
with garlands of purple and gold, were
banked in the alcove of the drawing
room. * .
‘The array of presents was the grand-
est that Washington has ever seen on
a single occasion. Every concelrable
design known to the silversmith’s ‘art
seemed to have been drawn upon in
‘this expression of good-will toward the
distinguished jurist and bis charming
wife. Gifts representing rare taste
and value were assembled from every
section of the land, with an enormous
number from the friends at home, testi-
fying to the hearty appreciations of
Judge and Mrs. Terrell among thelr
immediate neighbors. To select the
principal gifts from the dazzling array
would be diffienIt. and to present a com
plete Itst would require columns; uence
observers were content to notice that
tho most expensive of the offerings
were from the family of the Terrcils
nnd from close friends of many yoais'|
standing.

Saturday November 11th, 1916 ELECTION RESULTS UNSETTLED
Despite the fact that the press dispatches have given Mr. Wilson the victory over Mr. Hughes, yet this must be officially confirmed. Under no circumstances will Mr. Wilson's election be fully conceded until a final official count has been declared. Mr. Hughes needs only the votes of California to land him...These votes have been considerably delayed. Even the leaders in the other party are dissatisfied with certain manipulations and may demand a recount. It is learned that the official figures will not be given out until Monday. Until then, and possibly not until the Republican Executive Committee is willing to concede it, will we follow suit.
The North and East are true to the principles of the Republican party. The Western states, many of them, have retrograded in this respect. As for the South, it is "joined to its idol." Anxious was the hundreds of Republicans in this section about the outcome of the election. The situation was the most peculiar ever known. Never before was the result of a national election so very uncertain. Election night nearly every one felt that Hughes was elected but to awake next morning disappointed. All of the big dailies conceded his election based upon early returns from the western states, which formerly went the other way.
The action of the police department in its wholesale arrests of industrious colored men, is being condemned by all classes of citizens. The police can find more profitable business by enforcing the ordinances relative to pool rooms and keep the minors away. It is not an uncommon sight to see knee pants boys in certain of these places and also many idlers who should be more profitably engaged.
The breeding places of vice and disease may easily be found in the congested tenement houses in lanes, back alleys and ungraded streets. These places are the main cause of the continued large death rate among us and the turning out of criminally inclined persons of which we are infested. Better housing conditions are what we are badly in need. If the city authorities come to our aid by grading these streets, lanes and alleys, and enact proper housing ordinances, then a campaign of education should be inaugurated in order to induce our people to remove from such conditions and refrain from renting poorly constructed houses. It is far better for our people to live on the outskirts where they can get fresh air and live less crowded. Then too, this class of our people should be taught to live with a less number of persons in one house in order to have more privacy and increased sanitary efficiency. Let these things be done and the health officer's report hereafter will show a marked falling off in the death rate.
It is pleasing to note the incentive among us for more and better homes. In many sections of the city there can be seen homes being erected by our people and others being improved. These homes are provided with modern conveniences and appointments. This denotes the progressiveness of our people and speaks volumes for their worth. This progressiveness should incite many others of the race to do likewise. There is no reason why a man of a family who has a good paying position can not contract for a home. The same amount of money that is paid for rent can, with a small addition, go towards the purchase of a home, which, in the course of years, will be fully paid for and owned. It behooves our people to bestir themselves along this line, especially while property can be so easily purchased and the price is within reach. The prediction is that within the coming years the property that is now selling at a
low price will be out of the reach of the ordinary man. This is the time to buy.
At this season of the year our people will be called upon to contribute to the various charity funds. Herefore we have had no organized efforts along these lines, but recently the great needs of our unfortunate people have compelled the thoughtful ones among us to organize in their behalf and in doing so, they have found it necessary to call upon the public to contribute liberally toward the same. Our people, especially those in better circumstances, should become more inclined to support these efforts. The Tribune is proud to note that there is a growing tendency in this direction, especially among those of the great middle class, and with the noble exceptions in the more forward class. As a people, we must not depend upon others to support us. In all of our budgets let us insert a charity item and let this item be as large as possible, and give it unstintingly to worthy causes. Let us all keep in mind that we are our unfortunate peoples' keepers and as such, we are being held responsible for their well-being, therefore, this duty must be discharged by our liberal action, in not only contributing to worthy causes but also sacrifice some of our time in planning to help them.
During the Republican primary campaign the first part of $_{6}$ the year, Mr. Henry S. Jackson, National Chairman from this state, professed much friendship for the colored members of the party and freely charged Col. Walter H. Johnson, State Chairman and his followers as being "lilly whites." Many colored men of the state had no confidence whatever in Mr. Jackson or his leadership and refused to support him. Some of those who knew him more intimately expressed their great distrust. Despite his expressed regards for the Negro, Mr. Jackson has proven himself a veritable "wolf in sheep's clothing". This is based upon the following excerpt taken from Hearst's American, published in Atlanta, November 5, under large head lines:
"Reware of wolves in sheep's clothing. The Progressive ticket is put out in Georgia by a small bunch of men who controlled the Republican party for the past thirty years and distributed government jobs amongst themselves.
"They put H. A. Rucker, a Negro man, in as collector of Internal Revenue for Georgia and Judson Lyons, a Negro Man, as Register of the Treasury, and bitterly opposed the appointment of white men in their places. They also made Judson Lyons their National Committeeman, and Walter H. Johnson, who is the present leader of the Progressive ticket, was made the State Chairman."
"Because the Jackson wing overthrew them and established white control of the Republican party they bolted and set up this Progressive ticket to try to mislead voters. They charge that Henry Lincoln Johnson, colated, is running the Republican campaign in this state, though he has not been in the state since last June, and yet not later than last spring they demanded that he be made National Committeeman of the Republican party, and made that demand the basis on which they would remain in the Republican party. I have a dozen witnesses of high standing to establish this fact."
Only a few of the colored voters saw this despicable article before election day. Those who saw it were resentful. Many of them who supported him, have declared that they are now against him. They/claim that they are race men first and party comes next, and that no man in the party can so declare himself against the race and hope to retain their confidence and support. In this article Mr. Jackson has shown that he is not a loyal or true Republican. The principles he enunciated are purely Democratic, and he should be read out of the party's council. At any rate if he has any defense to make, same is awaited.

Mr. Cyrl A. Parks arrived in the city on last Saturday from Washington, D. C. He came for the expressed purpose of voting in the presidential election.
A mass meeting of the colored trainmen of the various roads will be held at Seabrook's hall on tomorrow night, Interesting talks will be made.
Mr. James F. Butter was elected secretary of Savannah Home Association to succeed Mr. Ed. R. Collins, who resigned and Mr. Geo. M. Brown was elected vice-president, the office previously held by the former.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 7—The most sociable event in the annuals of the nation's capital was the silver anniversary of the marriage of Judge and Mrs. Robert Heberton Terrell, which took place at their home, 1323 T street, Saturday evening, October-28. From 8 to 12 o'clock a steady stream of friends came to offer congratulations and wishes for many more years of happiness in the future. In the receiving line, assisting the high contracting parties in welcoming the host, were the two accomplished daughters of Judge and Mrs. Terrell, Misses Mary and Phyllis, Miss Annett Claire Church, the sister of Mrs. Terrell, Mrs. R. R. Church, Jr., her sister-in-law, the flower girl of the occasion. The guests included hundreds of the leading figures in the social, business, professional, religious and educational life of Washington.
The house was beautifully decorated. Great masses of chrysanthemums and foliage with rich autumnal colors were tastily arranged on mantle and chandelier. Tall, graceful palms, mingled with garlands of purple and gold, were banked in the alcove of the drawing room.
The array of presents was the grandest that Washington has ever seen on a single occasion. Every conceivable design known to the silversmith's art seemed to have been drawn upon in this expression of good-will toward the distinguished jurist and his charming wife. Gifts representing rare taste and value were assembled from every section of the land, with an enormous number from the friends at home, testifying to the hearty appreciation of Judge and Mrs. Terrell among their immediate neighbors. To select the principal gifts from the dazzling array would be difficult, and to present a complete list would require columns; hence observers were content to notice that the most expensive of the offerings were from the family of the Terrells end from close friends of many years standing.

Dr. James E. Shepard, the magnetic educational leader, will be in the city in a few days to confer with the commissioner of education relative to matters bearing upon his great conference of educators, scheduled for the National Training School, Durham, N. C. November 21 to 24. A goodly delegation of teachers from this section of the country will attend. Dr. Shepard was particularly impressed with the new Dunbar High
SAVANNAH PHARMACY OPENS
NEW STORE
The Savannah Pharmacy has launched out on broader basis in its business capacity by opening another store at the corner of Falum and York streets. This makes two stores that are being operated by the company. Aside from the proprietory, Dr. Moody and Fohville, an additional pharmacist has been added to the force in the person of Dr. L. C. Harris of St. Paul Minn., a graduate of Melhary Medical College.
MEETING OF NEEBLE
WORK GUILD TO BE HELD
The annual meeting of the Savannah Branch, colored division of the Women's Needle Work Guild will be held on Monday afternoon, November 13, at 1:30 o'clock at St. John Baptist church: Hartridge street, at which time the annual election of officers will take place. All of the members are urged to be present.
Mr. and Mrs. Proctor Glover announce the marriage of their daughter, Julia Pryne to Mr. O. Howard Jordan, of Savannah, at Savannah, Saturday October 25th. The bride is very popular here, being a teacher in the Beaufort high school for more than four years, also organising of the F. A. B. church. After a reception at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan left for Atlanta, Ga., on their honeymoon. They will be at home in Savannah after Ján 1st.
Cards are out announcing the coming wedding of Miss Leola Methalene Jenkins to Mr. James Robert Meyers, on Wednesday evening, Nov 15th at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Reception at the bride's home, 302 Green street.
Miss Mamie T. Hamilton has accepted a position to teach at Porters, S. C., this year.
Beaufort was well represented at the colored state fair held at Columbia last week. Among those attending were Hon. J. I. Washington, Capt. B. H. Houston, Capt. W. I. Allen, Mr. J. H. Brown, Miss Louise Glover.
Mrs. Emma Campbell of Savannah is visiting her brother, Mr. Peter Deas, Washington street.
Mrs. Rosa Benefield and her sister, Mrs. Anna King, spent the week end last week the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Charles street.
Mrs. Matilda Barnwell has returned home after spending the summer at New Haven, Conn.
The Rev. and Mrs. Spaulding left the city this week for Walterboro, S.C., where they will make their future home. It is with much regret that we give up such a christian gentleman as Rev. Spaulding. He has made a host of friends while here. He was pastor of the Presbyterian church and also conducted the Sunday school work of the church. Walterboro is to be congratulated in securing such an able pastor.
Mr. James Gorden died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Gorden, Duke street, Dickson Heights, on Wednesday, October 25, after an illness of one week. His death came as a shock to his many friends. Mr. Gorden was called home on account of the death of Mr. Smith. While attending the funeral he took sick and has never regained his speech. His funeral took place from the Good Hope Baptist church on Thursday evening, October 26th. Mr. Gorden was a member of the K. of P. and Odd Fellows, which paid him their last respects.
Mrs. Katie Hamilton spent a few days in Port Royal and Beaufort, S. C., last week. While in Beaufort she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stoney.

Mrs. J. H. Brown, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., has joined her husband here and will make Beaufort their future home. Mr. Brown is with the North Carolina Mutual. Beaufort seems to have some peculiar charms for the strangers.
MOREHOUSE WINS FROM
TALLADEGA 26 TO 0
Talladega, Ala.—Talladega began the fight with the greatest of confidence, and for the first quarter presented a most formidable defense. In the second quarter, a forward pass put the ball to T. C.'s 6 yard line Lewis went off tackle for a touchdown. Within three minutes, T. C. was again rushed to her 25 yard line. A forward pass to Brock resulted in a second touchdown. In the third quarter, Hall broke through, blocked a kick and ran 30 yards for the third touchdown. In the fourth quarter Morehouse had the ball on T. C.'s 10 yard line; a free fumble bounded across the line and was recovered by Summers for the fourth touch down.
Weighing the two teams with the eye. Talladega appears to have much the heavier team. Even though Talladega put up one of the hardest fights ever, they were unable to realize a single first down throughout the game, nor did they come within the 35-yard line in the Tiger's territory.
The Morehouse team was in excellent form and had wonderful endurance. Touchdowns: Lewis 1. Brock 1. Hall 1; goals: Lewis 1. Hall 1; score M. C. 26 T. C. 0.
Next Saturday Tuskegee will be in the Tiger's camp for the next important engagement. A great battle is predicted.
En route from Talladega to Atlanta, the team was forced to stop over in Anniston, Aa., for six hours for train connections. The boys were royally entertained at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Don Wilburn. Dr. Wilburn is an alumnus of Morehouse College. Mrs. Wilburn is the aunt of John Dent, who was with us on the trip. The dinner was lavishly prepared—an informal party it was. It was an unexpected, but great treat to the fellows and they wish publicly to acknowledge their appreciation.
The colored citizens of Savannah are very fortunate in having two first-class representatives in the real estate business, the COMMONWEALTH LOAN & REALTY CO., is the other. They pay attention to rentals and building. J. S. WALKER, Agent 509 West Broad St.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7—Atlanta University has set earnestly to work at raising its endowment fund for half a million dollars. There are already many encouraging tokens of success of the undertaking. The alumni and friends have eagerly set to organize for effective work. There are so many non-graduates who feel no less loyal to the University than the graduates that it is pretty certain that they are going to see that they themselves and the rest of the interested colored people in Atlanta are going to raise a considerable sum of money that is going a long way in making the University's appeal in the North productive of good results. That is really what it is going to take, because the first question asked in the North is "What are the colored people doing about the matter?" It is gratifying thing that I. the past Atlanta University has had so much to show. "There is no other institution that has more to show in the way of substantial interests on the part of the colored people than Atlanta University
The work of the institution continues auspiciously. The enrollment continues to grow even though the school opened with a record attendance. The football team has played only two games winning both, defeating last Saturday Tuskegee Institute in, a hard, close game, the score being 6 to 0.
SOCIAL
Mrs. J. A. L. Brown of 617 West Park Ave., gave a delightful social on October 20th in honor of Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Susie McIntosh of Atlantic City, N. J. Many of their friends were present making it an eventful evening.

ST. PAUL CHURCH
St. Paul is moving on very successfully for the annual conference. The effort on Sunday was a success and the people were happy in the thought that they were about to get the pastor ready for the conference. Mr. G. W. Johnson, president of the "Get-to-gether club" did real well in getting the men to pay $5.00 in pairs. Mrs. M. L. Hill, president of the stewardess board, was a very present help in the time of need with her board. They led in the team work. The old maids convention given by the junior stewardess board on Monday night was the best of its kind in the history of the church. The young people are taking on new life in this direction and will in the future serve the church to great advantage. The communion service on Sunday was more impressive than any of previous years. The fourth and last quarterly conference will be on this week. The presiding elder, Rev. J. A. Robinson, will preach on Sunday at 11 a. m., and at 8 p. m.

After the adoption of the minutes and the regular business completed some splendid sermonic reports were heard. There were some important matters discussed, among them being the Baptist convention which is to be held in August beginning Tuesday of next week. There is quite a delegation going up to the convention. There were other matters that could not be discussed on account of the shortness of time. Every member is urged to be present at the next meeting.

The Sunday school was well attended and was honored with a number of visitors. The program for the special exercises of the Sunday school has already been arranged and an unusually large crowd is expected to attend Sunday school at 2 p. m., subject to the debate: "Resolved, that the right to alcohol liquors as a beverage furnishes a test of self control and therefore should not be prohibited." The league which meets now at 6:30 p. m. has taken on new life and is being well attended each Sunday. Only one more Sunday after tomorrow before the pastor leaves for conference. The leading lights of the church are hoping for Rev. Singleton's return to St. Philip. The pastor will preach tomorrow at both hours. At the evening hour he will preach a special sermon to the officers of the various departments of the church. All members and friends are cordially invited to be present.

Business League Weekly Letter
(By J. C. Lindsay)
Carlyle or somebody said: "Institutions are the lengthened shadows of great men". He did not say whether these institutions would be necessarily have to be educational, social, fraternal, business or any of the other what nots; nor did he say, the lengthening of the shadows of these great men depended upon the race of which they happened to be members of. But he said, in substance, their shadows would be lengthened in proportion as they would be enabled to bring something to pass.
This is the point which we are endeavoring to drive home in this connection, that the Negro, like other men of the race, must do something worth while in order that his shadow, too, might be lengthened.
Just at this point we bring our weekly letter to a close, so that we can give our readers the benefit of a conversation between "Josh and Sambo," concerning the meaning of the National Negro business league, written in poetry, by Prof. W. E. Danger, humorist, poet and song writer. Author of the famous concert book, entitled: "Today and Yistidy." Mr. Danger is one of the instructors of the famous institution for which our lamented chieftain, Dr. Bocker T. Washington, gave his unselfish life, that thru it his race might be better understood.
It is thru the kindness and courtesies of Prof. Alborn L. Holsey, the National Negro Business League organizer, that we are able to give you the benefit of this most excellent and helpful poetry which tells us in song, just what the Negro Business League stands for. In explanation of which, Prof. Danger says:
"Josh, who is all dis ridin' round An' bussing thu de air;
Wid all dem great big auter 'shinez.
Look lak e country fair;
I kno' it aint camp meetin' time,
Ner taint no picie crowd;
An' jest cant be no funel' chill
Dese folks all look too proud;
Dey tell me it's dat bisness league,
Well, what they want up here?
Dis ant no cellerbrashm day,
An' rashins mighty dear;
Well hurry up an' splain de thing,
My brains will dance a jig
If I can't find out what you mean,
By Negro bisness League.
Some says it mean dat once er month
You go some where an' eat;
Whose others say it's merchants tricks
Ter'gree on how tr cheat;
Den some go for ernuff ter say,
It's merely killie' time,
A chance to ride erbout in kars.
An' scarcely got a dime;
Dis League done been ter Numon
Springs,
An' Upperlika, too;
An' et up all dem folks could fin'
Den lectured what ter do;
Now here dey come here double team,
An' all are mighty big;
An' when dey git thu eatin' here;
You'll have no Business League.
Now sit down Sambo lemnue talk,
An' you read twixt de lines;
Now don't you know that brass aint gol
No matter how it shines;
An' gol' aint brass gernudder thing
Dat you mus learnsome day;
Well dis here league is solid gol'
I'll so wyer how 'twill pay;
Dese men jine in fer mutu'l help,
An' all cooperate;
An' meet an' scuss de danger lines
Buffo it gits too late;
Dey puts on mashmul clean up weeks,
'Swades folks ter git a pig;
Now can't yer see deres somethin' ter
Dis Negro Biness League?
De merchant, finds out how ter hep,
De man dat's on de farm;
De farmer lerns ter patternize.
His race, now dat's no harm;
Dey also plan on how to give
Yer Jes es good er weights.
An' place yer 'counts on ledger books,
Wid jest es long er dates;
Ter treat our own folks mo' perlite;
Dan clerks did long ergo;
Dis panic makes dem need yer trade,
An' dat yer all do kno'
So don't stan' off an' criticise.
Jest hop rat in dis rig;
An' he'p ter make it with it's name
De Negro Business League.

which will be held at headquarters,

SANDY LOOKS TROOPS OVER AND FINDS 'EM FIT
"Captain" Sandy Lockhart, having interviewed the general, and reviewed the brigade, the Georgia troops are now ready to move to the Mexican border. Sandy is an old Negro, short of stature but long in brain and the elements of politeness. Several years back Sandy organized a Negro com-
pany, which, according to General Harris, was a crack military organization. The Negro troops were mustered but, but Sandy never whimpered. Instead, he got a job with the Second regiment, at officer's mess, and has been with the regiment for about the past seventeen years. This was the first time he has visited Camp Harris and, with a reprimand from the general for his tardiness, he was excused.—Macon Telegraph.
TO · THE STUDENTS OF BEACH INSTITUTE
Y. M. C. A., 1724 Christian St.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov 6, 1916
Dear Students:
I read Beach Institute news in The
Tribune and was very glad indeed to
learn that the number of the upper
classes has increased to such a great
extent. I also appreciate the fact that
you have not forgotten me, and wish
me success wherever I may be in the
north.
It is true that I did not return to the rank this year but I have fallen in another rank that exists for the same purpose. With the consent and aid of my parents I am staying at the S. W. Branch of the Y. M. C. A., and am attending the University of Pennsylvania and also expect to enter Lincoln University next year. I am one of the many students of the Coffman Business College, where I am taking a business course, consisting of Shorthand, typewriting, book-keeping and business spelling, English and arithmetic. I am also studying undertaking and embalming in the R. S. Weaver School of Embatming, and am employed in an establishment in the afternoons, after school.
I enjoy every convenience imaginable in the Y. M. C. A., including conservatory, gymnasium and matatorium, and am under the physical direction of Mr. Wm. J. Faulkner a popular physical trainer.
I think your motto is very good as well as appropriate. I am very glad that you are so fortunate as to have Miss Ethyl Heilemann with you another term; and will say that I regret that I cannot enjoy, as you do, the opportunity of being instructed by her.
With my best wishes for your success, I am

Lesson VII.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 12, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Rom. xiv, 13, to xv,
3—Memory Verse, xiv, 16, 17—Golden
Text, Rom. xiv, 21—Commentary
Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This is called a temperance lesson and is no doubt intended to be used as an exhortation and a warning against the use of intoxicants, a most important topic, and a line of service on which we cannot do too much, but when I consider the intemperate people who are so often prominent in what is called temperance work I feel increasingly the need of getting at the root of the matter rather than prescribing for symptoms. The words "temperance" and "duty" are seldom used in the Scriptures, not over six or seven times in each in the whole Bible, and the meaning of temperance is self control in every form (Acts xxiv, 25; I Cor. ix, 25; Gal. v, 23; II Pet. l, 6). As in Paul's talk with Felix and verse 17 of our lesson, righteousness comes first. In I Cor. vi, 9, 10, where the drunkard is mentioned among other gross sinners, the opening sentence is "The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
The great topic of this epistle is righteousness, the word being used at least thirty-five times and fifteen of these in chapters iv and x. As in i, 17, it is the righteousness of 'God, that which God requires, and has provided fully and freely in Christ, but which men object to, preferring their own filthy rags of self righteousness, character, reformation, duty and the like (Isa. xiv, 6; Rom. x, 3). There is no possible way for any one, drunken or sober, moral or immoral, but to plead guilty, according to chap. ill, 19, and be justified freely by grace (ill, 24); then will come the peace and joy of being justified by faith (xiv, 17; xv, 13), and the patience and comfort of the Scriptures (xv, 4-6). It is no use to appeal to any kind of a sinner to do right, for until born again by receiving Christ all are said to be "in the flesh." merely "natural" people, and cannot please God (John i, 12; Rom. vill, 7, 8).
When Christ is received as a personal Saviour and our righteousness, then we are said to be "in the Spirit," and by the Spirit we may be led, controlled, live and make no provision for the flesh or its lusts (Rom. xiii, 14; Gal. v. 10-25). Salvation, of which the first eight chapters of this letter tell us so fully, is the free gift of God for all who will receive it, or rather Him (Rom. vi, 23: Rev. xxl, 6; xxil, 17), and there are no differences nor degrees, for all who are in Christ have all the benefits of His finished work and are equally saved and delivered from the wrath to come (I Thess. i, 10). Now, as saved people, we are supposed to save done with self and walk in His steps who never pleased Himself, but always pleased the Father and lived and died to save others (Rom. xiv, 7; xv. 3: Pet. ii, 21-23; John vill, 29; Gal. ii, 20). If we thus had the good of others at heart instead of our own selfish ends we would not talk of eating or drinking what we pleased regardless of others' infirmities.
We are here to win others to Christ and then to help build them up in Him, rooted and grounded in love and filled with all the fullness of God for service here and an abundant entrance into His kingdom by and by (xiv. 19; Eph. iii, 16-20; II Pet. i, 5-11). Although all believers are accepted in the beloved, washed, sanctified and justified and made meet to be partakers of His inheritance (Eph. i, 6.7; I Cor. vi, 11; Col. i, 12), we are left here for service and good works, for which every one of us shall give account of himself to God at the judgment seat of Christ, where only saved people shall be, and there our service shall be approved and rewarded, or else burned up and we suffer loss (xiv. 7-12; I Cor. iii, 11-15). The service which will be rewarded will be that which He has wrought in us by His Spirit, according to Phil. ii, 13; Heb. xiii, 21. We cannot expect that anything we do of ourselves that is not His working in us will have His approval.
When I was off duty for eleven weeks a little over three years ago because of heart failure, which many thought would take me home, nothing gave more comfort in my weakness as I lay in bed than Rom. xiv, 8: "Whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." It is possible so to abandon ourselves to Him for life or death, for service or suffering, that His perfect will shall be everything to us, and our heart song shall be. "Not I, but Christ: "Not I, but the grace of God" (Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv, 10). This will keep us so occupied with Himself that we shall not see others except to help them and will make us so sensitive to what He likes or dislikes that we shall not wish to allow that which He would condemn.
That we may lean upon His arm and say Dost Thou, dear Lord, approve?
The kingdom to which we are hastening and which cannot come till He comes, if it fills our soul's vision, will lift us above all such matters as eating and drinking, and is there any harm in this or that, and our acceptable service of Christ will be manifestly righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (xiv. 17. 19).

Business League Weekly Letter
(1ly J. C. Lindsay)
Carlyle or somebody said: "Institutions are the lengthened shadows of great men". He did not say whether these institutions would be necessarily have to be educational, social, fraternal, business or any of the other what nots; nor did he say, the lengthening of the shadows of these great men depended upon the race of which they happened to be members of. But he said, in substance, their shaddows would be lengthened in proportion as they would be enabled to bring something to pass.
This is the point which we are endeavoring to drive home in this connection, that the Negro, like other men of the race, must do something worth while in order that his shadow, too, might be lengthened.
Just at this point we bring our weekly letter to a close, so that we can give our readers the benefit of a conversation between "Josh and Sambo," concerning the meaning of the National Negro business league, written in poetry, by Prof. W. E. Danger, humorist, poet and song writer. Author of the famous concert book, entitled: "Today and Yistidy." Mr. Danger is one of the instructors of the famous institution for which our lamented chieftain, Dr. Booker T. Washington, gave his unselfish life, that thru it his race might be better understood.
It is thru the kindness and courtesies of Prof. Alborn L. Hobey, the National Negro Business League organizer, that we are able to give you the benefit of this most excellent and helpful poetry which tells us in song, just what the Negro Business League stands for. In explanation of which, Prof. Danger says:
"Josh, who is all dis ridin' round
An' bussing thu de air;
Wid all dem great big auter 'shines'
Look lak or country fair;
I kno' it aint camp meatin' time;
Ner taint no picnic crowd;

Well, what they want up here?

As in i, 17, it is the righteousness of God, that which God requires, and has provided fully and freely in Christ, but which men object to, preferring their own filthy rags of self righteousness, character, reformation, duty and the like (Isa. lxiv. 6; Rom. x. 3). There is no possible way for any one, drunken or sober, moral or immoral, but to plead guilty, according to chap. lil, 10, and be justified freely by grace (lil, 24); then will come the peace and joy of being justified by faith (xiv. 17; xv. 13), and the patience and comfort of the Scriptures (vv. 4, 6). It is no use to appeal to any kind of a sinner to do right, for until born again by receiving Christ all are said to be "in the flesh." merely "natural" people, and cannot please God (john i, 12, 13; Rom. vill, 7, 6).
When Christ is received as a personal Saviour and our righteousness, then we are said to be in "the Spirit," and by the Spirit we may be led, controlled, live and make no provision for the flesh or its lusts (Rom. xiii, 14; Gal. v. 10-23). Salvation, of which the first eight chapters of this letter tell us so fully, is the free gift of God for all who will receive it, or rather Him (Rom. vi. 23; Rev. xxl. 6; xxii. 17), and there are no differences nor degrees, for all who are in Christ have all the benefits of His finished work and are equally saved and delivered from the wrath to come (I Thess. 1, 10). Now, as saved people, we are supposed to have done with self and walk in His steps who never pleased Himself, but always pleased the Father and lived and died to save others (Rom. xiv. 7; xv. 3; Pet. ii. 21;23; John viii. 20; Gal. ii. 20). If we thus had the good of others at heart instead of our own selfish ends we would not talk of eating or drinking what we pleased regardless of others' infirmities.
We are here to win others to Christ and then to help build them up in Him, rooted and grounded in love and filled with all the fullness of God for service here and an abundant entrance into His kingdom by and by (xiv. 19; Eph. iii, 10-20; H Pet. i, 5-11). Although all believers are accepted in the beloved, washed, sanctified and justified and made meet to be partakers of His inheritance (Eph. i, 6, 7; I Cor. vi, 11; Col. i, 12), we are left here for service and good works, for which every one of us shall give account of himself to God at the judgment seat of Christ, where only saved people shall be, and there our service shall be approved and rewarded, or else burned up and we suffer loss (xiv. 7-12; I Cor. iii, 11-15). The service which will be rewarded will be that which He has wrought in us by His Spirit, according to Phil. ii, 13; Heb. ii, 21. We cannot expect anything we do of ourselves that is not His working in us will have His approval.
When I was off duty for eleven weeks a little over three years ago because of heart failure, which many thought would take me home, nothing gave more comfort in my weakness as I lay in bed than Rom. xiv, 8: "Whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." It is possible so to abandon ourselves to Him for life or death, for service or suffering, that His perfect will shall be everything to us, and our heart song shall be. "Not I, but Christ; "Not I but the grace of God" (Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv, 10). This will keep us so occupied with Himself that we shall not see others except to help them and will make us so sensitive to what He likes or dislikes that we shall not wish to allow that which He would condemn.
Forevermore, beside us on our way,
The unseen Christ doth move,
That we may lean upon His arm and say
Dost Thou, dear Lord, approve?
The kingdom to which we are hastening and which cannot come till He comes, if it fills our soul's vision, will lift us above all such matters as eating and drinking, and is there any harm in this or that, and our acceptable service of Christ will be manifestly righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (x1v, 17, 18).

SMART SET PRESENTS
CREDITABLE PERFORMANCE
eI aE it
What was perhapk the moxt complete,
and ‘pleasing performances" «presented
by an aggregation ‘of ‘colored artists was
“How: Newsown Prepared” which was
prestnted by: the “Original Smart Set”
headed by Salem Tutt Whitney, “J.
“Homer Tutt and Blanch Thompson at
the Sayapnah Theatre, Thursday, Matl-
nee and night. ‘The first act, tho a bit
discouraging, being composed, in part,
of the ruff stuff usually handed out by
the majority of the colored shows.
was fully redeemed in the second act
which was high class in every respect.
One of the most pleasing features of
the performance was the rendition of
“My Sweet Tiawailan Home”, by
Blanch ‘Thompson, supported by male
quartette. The plot is carried thru-
out the show, In one of the scenes
x company, of old yeterans, while 1ce-
‘paring for war, is shown shipwrecked
at which time “Help Cometh From
Above™ is beautifilly reudered hy Whit-
ney and others. The finaT scene shows
the shipwrecked company, having been
rescued, find themselves in Turley.
It is in this scene, which is the most
elaborate and perhaps, the strongest
presented by colored artists here for
many years, that Estella Cash, as Fa-
tima. Julian Costello as Pasha and
Blanch Thompson, supported by the
entire cast. depicts the real life in
Turkey. Their Turkish dancing was
remarkable and pleasing to the au-
dience.
The show as a whole is great and
the costumes are gorgeous. Changes are
made frequently and nothing is allow-
el to grow monotonous, The cast is
evenly balanced, well trained and ts
a bunch of hard workers. Messrs. Whit-
ney and Tutt and Miss Blanch Thomp-
son, the head-liners, are ably supported
by the entire-vompany and deserve the
patronage of the public.
The audiences at both shows, tho
large, were not what they should have
been, but that was due to the fact
that a good show by cotored perform-
ers is seldom seen here and the ruff
stuff handed out by the majority of
the colored performers has become ob-
jeelionable to theater goers, and un-
til dotored artists establish a reputa-
tion for good shows small audiences
can be expected as the public as a
whole fs not taking any chances on
‘low-class, smutty performances.

‘HAMPTON 11 WINS FROM
- UNION BY SCORE 15 to 6
ee, eae ee ONES, SRR Ee eee ae
te breaks and partial decisions
ycaused Union to sustain a 15 to 6 de-
feat from Hampton Institute eleven
ast Friday on the latter's campus. In
every department of the game, the
sists presented a better display of
scientific’ pigskin phenomena, Only
| once aid Hampion essay an end run;
| but that one attempt demonstrated the
fact that ler ends were top weak for
| Banks and Taylor. In the line plung-
[ins- the advantage was easily Union's;
only in the second Quarter could the
hae team realize a first down through
the Union line. Hampton was super-
ior to the visitors in two respects—for-
aa passes and stccessful Dipcking.
Ont of the six passes during the contest
Hampton lays claim to four, each net-
tine Jong gains disastrous to the Red
| Steel machine, The champions evidenc-
ed superior blocking on kick-offs and
running back punts, i
| ‘The first quarter. resulted in a dead-
jlock. Yet, it was in this initid] quar?
jter, In the very first minute of play
that the fates signalled thumbs down
jfor Union's luck. _ Hucles, all-Ameri-
can quarter for the last season was
folly trekled on the cntile of the
line in his first attempt te advance the
ball, receiving an jajury in the right
ankle, Protests to the referee against
frequent attempts even after this to
permanently injure his booting leg were
in vain. In the same quirter, Capt.
Puryear was rendered unconscious from
the impack of a furious onslaughter.
In spite of the fact that their cap-
tain was out of the game and their
quarterback disabled. the plucky visl-
tors held Hampton to a single touch-
down and field goal in the first half,
The touch down occurred from mid-
field: Harvey essayed a forward pass
to Rigney; in attempt to block the
fall, Taylor Jeaves Rigney uncovered.
Rigney captures the pigskin, success-
fully eludes Jackson’s poor tackle and
bolts to a touch down.
In the second half Capt. Puryear
was sufficiently recovered to resume
his position In right guard, where he
played like a fiend the remainder of
the game. Hucles was réplaced by
Gregory whose broken field running was
the sensation of the contest. He drove
the Union machine to Hampton's thirty
yard line. Here they were held for
three downs; on the fourth, ‘the Woods-
Taylor combination- succeeded in ad-
vancing the bladder through a forward
pass to Hampton's five yard “tine.
Bowie now plunges through left tackle
to the first touchdown on HWampton’s
qimpus in many years.
Now began the one-sided fight: Dab-
ney, Hampton’s big center repeadedly
hurdled the Union line; foul tackling
and holding, too, were participated in
by Hampton, for which, however, Ref-
eree Henderson failed to penalize
Iampton’s second touchdown was il-
legally given, as it was made after the
referce’s whistle had blown. Even in
face of all these odds, the Union ma-
chine still showed it's superiority in
versatile plays and was soon on Hamp-
ton’s five yard line again. This time
showever, Williamson passed the ball
over Bowie's head and Union’s chances
jot winning were over.

What was perhaps the most complete and pleasing performances presented by an aggregation of colored artists was "How Newtown Prepared" which was presented by the "Original Smart Set" headed by Salem Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt and Blanch Thompson at the Savannah Theatre, Thursday, Matinee and night. The first act, tho a bit discouraging, being composed, in part, of the ruff stuff usually handed out by the majority of the colored shows, was fully redeemed in the second act which was high class in every respect. One of the most pleasing features of the performance was the rendition of "My Sweet Hawaiian Home", by Blanch Thompson, supported by male quartette. The plot is carried throughout the show. In one of the scenes a company, of old veterans, while preparing for war, is shown shipwrecked at which time "Help Cometh From Above" is beautifully rendered by Whitney and others. The final scene shows the shipwrecked company, having been rescued, find themselves in Turkey. It is in this scene, which is the most elaborate and perhaps the strongest presented by colored artists here for many years, that Estella Cash, as Fatima, Julian Costollo as Pasha and Blanch Thompson, supported by the entire cast, depicts the real life in Turkey. Their Turkish dancing was remarkable and pleasing to the audience.
The show as a whole is great and the costumes are gorgeous. Changes are made frequently and nothing is allowed to grow monotonous. The cast is evenly balanced, well trained and is a bunch of hard workers. Messrs. Whitney and Tutt and Miss Blanch Thompson, the head-liners, are ably supported by the entire company and deserve the patronage of the public.
The audiences at both shows, the large, were not what they should have been, but that was due to the fact that a good show by colored performers is seldom seen here and the ruff stuff handed out by the majority of the colored performers has become objectifiable to theater goers, and until colored artists establish a reputation for good shows small audiences can be expected as the public as a whole is not taking any chances on low-class, smutty performances.
AT THE Y. M. C. A.
The meeting of last Sunday was full of enthusiasm and interest. Officers for the ensuing year were elected. The slate of officers as presented by the nominating committee, P. A. Dengall, chairman, resulted in the election of the following staff officers: Prof. S. A. Grant, president; H. T. Singleton, vice-president; T. H. Hamilton, Jr., secretary; S. Carrol, ass. secretary; Dr. C. L. Brent, treasurer. In brief statements each officer pledged himself to the cause, promising his best effort to make it a success. The committee on plans, to bring to a successful close the campaign for funds for a permanent building for the association, reported thru H. T. Singleton, chairman. A full report will be rendered by this committee on tomorrow.
The program for tomorrow promises to be interesting. In addition to special musical selection, the special address, will be given by Mr. L. W. Sherman, the well-known orator and public speaker. It is enough to say that all who are present to hear Mr. Sherman will be greatly benefited thereby. The meeting will begin promptly at 5 p. m.
At the meeting tomorrow plans will be accepted for a campaign to raise funds for a permanent home for the association. Any member wishing to submit plans may do so by sending them in writing to the meeting or to H. T. Singleton, chairman, 509 West Proud street The plans receiving the majority vote will be adopted by the association.

Now let every fraternal man and every business man on hand. Let us make this fair an occasion of great encouragement and of grand pleasure and enjoyment. Write or see Prof. R. R. Wright for further information.
HAMPTON 11 WINS FROM
UNION BY SCORE 15 to 6
Hampton first. Nov. 4—Hard luck in the breaks and partial decisions caused Union to sustain a 15 to 6 defeat from Hampton Institute eleven last Friday on the latter's campus. In every department of the game, the visitors presented a better display of scientific pigskin phenomena. Only once did Hampton essay an end run; but that one attempt demonstrated the fact that her ends were too weak for Banks and Taylor. In the line plunging, the advantage was easily Union's; only in the second quarter could the home team realize a first down through the Union line. Hampton was superior to the visitors in two respects—forward passes and successful blocking. Out of the six passes during the contest Hampton lays claim to four, each netting long gains disastrous to the Red Steel machine. The champions evidenced superior blocking on kick-offs and running back punts.
The first quarter resulted in a deadlock. Yet, it was in this initial quarter, in the very first minute of play that the fates signalled thumbs down for Union's luck. Huecles, all-American quarter for the last season was firmly tackled on the outside of the line in his first attempt to advance the ball, receiving an injury in the right ankle. Protests to the referee against frequent attempts even after this to permanently injure his booting leg were in vain. In the same quarter, Capt. Puryear was rendered unconscious from the impack of a furious onslaughter. In spite of the fact that their captain was out of the game and their quarterback disabled, the plucky visitors held Hampton to a single touchdown and field goal in the first half. The touch down occurred from midfield: Harvey essayed a forward pass to Rigney; in attempt to block the ball, Taylor leaves Rigney uncovered. Rigney captures the plgskin, successfully eludes Jackson's poor tackle and bolts to a touch down.
In the second half Capt. Puryear was sufficiently recovered to resume his position in right guard, where he played like a fiend the remainder of the game. Hucles was replaced by Gregory whose broken field running was the sensation of the contest. He drove the Union machine to Hampton's thirty yard line. Here they were held for three downs; on the fourth, the Woods-Taylor combination succeeded in advancing the bladder through a forward pass to Hampton's five yard line. Bowie now plunges through left tackle to the first touchdown on Hampton's campus in many years.
Now began the one-sided fight: Dabney, Hampton's big center repeatedly hurdled the Union line; foul tackling and holding, too, were participated in by Hampton, for which, however, Referee Henderson failed to penalize Hampton's second touchdown was illegally given, as it was made after the referee's whistle had blown. Even in face of all these odds, the Union machine still showed it's superiority in versatile plays and was soon on Hampton's five yard line again. This time however, Williamson passed the ball over Bowie's head and Union's chances of winning were over.
Summary—Touchdowns; Harvey, Rigney, Bowie; field goals, Harvey; referee, E: B. Henderson; umpire, Dr. J. A. Carper; headlinesman, Douglass; length of periods, 15 minutes.

MANY NEGROES ARE SEIZED IN ST. LOUIS
Federal and State Judges Finally Enjoined the Police from Interfering With Voters.
St. Louis, Mo., Tuesday—Federal Judge D. P. Dyer and Judge Karl Kimmel, of the State Circuit Court, this afternoon issued injunctions to prevent the police from interfering with Negro voters at the polls. The issuance of the injunction followed wholesale arrests of Negroes.
Every possible form of intimidation was used by election officials to prevent Negroes from casting their ballots. The police are under the con-

toward the last as his greatest blessing. He was a member of Pythagoras Lodge No. 11 and the M. B. S. The deceased is survived-by his wife, Mrs. Louisa, Quarterman; daughters, Rosa Lee Jones, Catrie L. Simmons; grand child, Eureka Hart; sons-in-law, Robert Jones, Jos. S. J. Simmons; sister Mrs. P. E. Noble.
Negroes were arrested and locked up charged with attempting illegal voting. In other instances the Negroes were taken as far as the police call boxes and then told to "beat it". Before the polls had been opened an hour, nearly one hundred Negroes had been arrested and the arrests continued throughout the day. Republican workers obtained the release of the Negroes on bonds as fast as possible and they were taken to the polls. In most instances they were allowed to vote. The police declared the Negroes were arrested on complaint of Democratic election officials, but in many instances the statements were denied by the election officials. In one instance, when a Negro was arrested as he was about to vote, a democratic judge asked the policeman what the charge against the Negro was. The officer replied: "You attend to your business and I will attend to mine." The Negro later was released on bond, returned to the poll and was allowed to cast his ballot.

We hear much these days about colored people not patronizing colored business enterprises—
The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors.
"It's a far cry" from sentiment to business.
This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out."
The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.
