The WANTS NEGROES TREATED BETTER JUDGE ADAMS WRITES STRONG ARTICLE IN DAILY PAPER Against Illegal Arrests Says There Should Not be One Law For Whites and One for Negroes In a letter to the editor of the Morning News last Sunday, Judge Samuel B. Adams denounced in a very pointed and fair-minded article the treatment which Negroes have been receiving here at the hands of the police department. He condemns in no uncertain words the wholesale arrests of Negroes which recently occurred here when they were waiting at the Union station to be transported North, stating that their arrest and incarceration were wholly without justification or excuse, in law or in right. He says that had the police authorities taken such advantage of white men, the expressions of indignation would have been general and pronounced, and these expressions would have been reflected in the public prints. As to the frequent severe treatment which police officers accord Negro prisoners, the Judge speaks out in words of the strongest condemnation. He says, in reference to a petition that was presented to the City Council by a committee of representative Negroes, asking for an investigation into the recent wholesale arrests, that this body should give earnest heed to their petition, and ought to take a course that is calculated to discourage the recurrence of the wrong. Judge Adams' letter is here given: "Editor of the Morning News: Ever since its occurrence I have felt impelled to give some public expression of my condemnation of the course of the police force in the recent arrest at the Union Station of a large number of unoffending Negroes, solely because they intended to go to another state in pursuit of work. They were not charged with any crime; they were not guilty of any offense. No warrant had been sworn out. Their arrest and incarceration were wholly without justification or excuse, in law or in right. In the number, as I learn reliably, were some respectable persons of color who did not even contemplate leaving the city, but happened to be corralled in the crowd. The victims of these unlawful arrests were detained at the polled barracks all night. It is true that the Recorder promptly discharged them without hearing from them and condemned their arrest. A judicial officer with any regard for his oath of office could have done no less than this. "The officers arresting and the officers directing the arrest were all of them guilty of a crime themselves, that is known as "false imprisonment", which is defined by our penal code as 'a violation of the personal liberty of a person, and consists in confinement or detention of such person without sufficient legal authority'. These men had a perfect right to go, singly or collectively, by the public trains to another state, and their arrest was a clear gross violation of their constitutional rights. It is difficult to understand how such a palpable and flagrant violation of law could occur in a law-abiding community, and by the act of men supposed to be guardians of the law. "Had their skins been white, the expressions of indignation would have been general and pronounced, and these expressions would have been reflected in the public prints. As it is, the matter seems to have attracted no special attention. I preceive that some representative members of the race have called the attention of the City Council to the matter. Council ought to give earnest head to their petition, and ought to take a course that is calculated to discourage the recurrence of the wrong. "I fear, Mr. Editor, that not infrequently Negroes have just cause of complaint against police officers, that they are sometimes arrested without sufficient cause, and sometimes, when under arrest, treated with unnecessary severity. I do not mean to say that any large number of the force thus treats Negroes, but I nevertheless believe that the occurrence suggested are not rare. The fact is that the respectable members of the race not infrequently complain of their treatment by the police and give such treatment as a reason why Negroes feel like leaving Savannah. "We certainly ought to treat the members of this race with entire justices VOLUME XXXII SECOND ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETING SUNDAY DEC. 16 Prominent Speakers and Choruses Included in the Program at The second annual public meeting of the Urban League will be held Sunday afternoon, December 10, at 4 o'clock at Pekin theatre.

Harvey, manager of the Beaufort, S. C., district of the North Carolina Insurance Co., was in the city during the early part of the week. Mr. Harvey, who is well-known here, where he resided for several years, says that the Negroes in his community are progressing nicely and that the business of his office is increasing-rapidly. MOTORED TO BRUNSWICK Mrs. B. L. Barnes and party, motored to Brunswick last Sunday in the former's beautiful five passenger Chalmers. The trip was a very enjoyable one and the roads were found to be in fairly good condition. While there they attended the session of the A. M. E. Conference. In the party aside from Mrs. Barnes were Mrs. A. E. Allen. Mrs. C. L. Howard and Mr. R. A. Harper. FIRST DANCE IN NEW HALL The Catholic Mutual Aid Society christened the new Catholic hall on Gordon street Thursday night by a very enjoyable dance. In attendance at the affair were fully 600 persons who showed by the delightful evening that they fully enjoyed every convenience which this new and well appointed hall affords. A seven piece orchestra dispensed music. COMMUNITY TREE COMMITTEE TO MEET A meeting of the general Community Tree Committee of the Urban League will, be held on Tuesday afternoon December 5, at headquarters, at 5 o'clock. Every member is expected to be present. The committee on decoration is busy at work assisting in the raising of funds. The members of the St. Cecilia Musical Club are having practice with the children in several sections of the city. and fairness. We ought not to have one law for the white man and another law for the Negro. Their legal and constitutional rights ought to be fully recognized. We desire the Negro to remain with us. We need their labor. We ought to encourage and help them. Tactics like those alluded to will not increase their disposition to remain in Savannah. We can talk as we may of the rigors of northern climate and of the trade and industrial boycotts to which the Negroes are subjected to in other sections. But after all, a fundamental requirement by the members of every race is that their constitutional rights, particularly those appertaining to their personal liberty, be properly protected. We will not do them or ourselves, any good by disregarding these rights, and we will not exhibit either racial or individual superiority by acts of injustice and oppression." Sam'l H. Adams" Mr. Ivory, Coles passed through the city on last Wednesday from Newark, N. J., en route to Jacksonville, Fla. Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY DECEMBER 2ND, 1916 THE TRIBUNE SUBCRIPTION RATE TO TO ADVANCE JANNUARY 1st, TAKE NOTICE!

Therefore after January 1st, 1917, the subscription rate of $1.25 per year will be advanced to $1.50.

It is sent out by Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the league. New York, N. Y., Nov. 24th, 1916 Dear Editor: We write this letter for publication in your next issue because we feel it touches upon a situation of vital importance to every member of the race. Negroes in large numbers are leaving the South for the North. Many are securing good positions. Those that are sober and responsible and know how to give an honest day's toll are holding their positions. The indolent, inefficient men, however, are soon discharged, become a burden to the northern communities and bring reproach and humiliation to thrifty colored citizens in communities where white people have not hitherto considered Negroes undesirable. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes urges the rightthinking Negroes of the South and everywhere to discourage the wholesale migration of shiftless people between any two points, be they North or South. The League also warns Negroes against fraudulent agents who are collecting employment fees and who disappear soon afterwards. Negro labor is in demand. Use that fact to improve the efficiency of that labor by demanding: first, better wages where the wages of colored men are below the current wage; second, better working conditions so that your health will not be impaired by the work you do; third, better living conditions both for yourself and foamily so that your efficiency as a worker will not be impaired by living conditions which prevents proper rest and recreation to fit you for the day's labor, and base these demands on the facts that all these things will make your work more valuable to yourself and to your employer and make for better feeling between the races. The National Urban League urges Negroes everywhere to take advantage of this great industrial opportunity to work in co-operation with their local neighbors whether North or South, for the improvement of conditions which will affect both races. NOT ENOUGH SUN FOR FOOTBALL It is pretty generally thought in every college playing football that a little bad weather, such as slight showers, a muddy field and other little disagreeable atmospheric conditions never stand in the way of a scheduled game, but with the Georgia State boys it seems to be a fair weather game only. The game scheduled with the Florida Baptist College Thursday afternoon on the college campus, was postponed until yesterday, because the showers of Thanksgiving day did not cease until 3 o'clock, a half hour-prior to the hour set for the game, and may be because the gridiron warriors could not afford to get their togs soiled in the wet sand. for there was not a muddy spot on the field. The local boys took yesterday's game in the second quarter when they intercepted a forward pass on their 18 yard line and romped down the field for a touch down. There was no more scoring after this, the game ending Ga. State 6. Florida 0. BUL BUL TO BE PRESENTED DECEMBER 29TH Empire Club to Stage Beautiful Operetta at New Catholic Hall "Bul Bul" is the title of the beautiful comic operetta that will be presented the night of December 29th at the new Catholic hall on Gordon street, east, by the Empire club. The cast presenting the play is composed of about 50 members, some of them among the leading amateur players in the city. The dramatic part of the play is being prepared under the direction of Prof. Wendal P. Tucker and the music will be directed by Prof. R. W. Gadsden. It is probable that a record crowd of the younger folks will attend the play which will be followed by dancing with music dispensed by a tenpiece orchestra. MISS FRANCES GALLOWAY TO APPEAR AT F. A.

E. Fonvielle, Jr., is the name to be given to the son born November 17, to Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Fonvielle, 2310 Florence street. Baby and mother are getting along nicely. REV. WHITE COMES TO ST. PAUL The people of St. Paul's church had their pastor changed by the Central Georgia annual conference, which was held at Wadley on last week. Rev. Martin has been with St. Paul's church for four years and has done a deal of heavy work and the bishop and the conference brethren saw fit to make him presiding elder of the Fort Valley district. He is succeeded by Rev. E. W. White of Macon. Rev. White is a man of broad experience and no doubt will be in every way a worthy successor to Rev. Martin. The church has taken on new life, for the past four years under the outgoing pastor and no doubt will keep up its momentum with the new pastor. Rev. White is a Paline College man and is recommended as a tireless worker. He was pastor of Haddocks, near Macon and did a successful work for five years. It is one of the most progressive communities in the state. It is a section where country people have always had the very best pastors that the church has been able to give in the conference. It is easy to find families there who have sent entire households off to Paline College and to Atlanta University. The members receive Rev. White heartily at the parsonage on Friday night in a formal way and he felt much encouraged by such a hearty reception. The reception served two purposes as the Rev. Martin was passing out the members gave it, in honor of the coming and going pastors. The affair was conducted by G. W. Johnson, W. H. Johnson, G. H. Harris, W. M. Goldwire, A. P. Grant, H. S. Simmons, J. A. Lee, Robert Allen, N. Ducket, Mrs. M. E. Hill, Miss Malissa Brown, Mrs. Janie Turner, Mrs. Lula Simmons. The Rev. White preaches his first sermon on Sunday and gives the holy communion, and the church is expecting all of the members and their friends out to hear him. TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY NEEDLE WORK GUILD Nearly 1,000 Pieces Mrs. Mendes Commends Ladies for Their Excellent Work Nearly 1,000 odd articles will be distributed to the poor and charitable institutions this year by the local colored branch of the Needle Work Guild. The work of canvassing the city for articles by the ladies of the guild was most efficiently done and the large number of articles they were able to get together for this worthy cause speaks very commendably of their efforts. The time for the articles to be handed to the committee which had charge of the exhibit was set for Tuesday and by Tuesday afternoon 5 o'clock a most splendid display of the hundreds of useful articles received was made in one of the committee rooms in the basement of St. Philip's A. M. E. church, West Broad and Charles street. In all, there were some 1,000 useful articles placed on exhibition, towels, underwear, baby clothing and other manner of wearing apparel making up the greater part of the display. Every person approached by the members of the guild in their effort to raise this worthy collection of articles was asked to give two of a kind. This was done in order that who ever the person is, who will be helped by the guild will have at least one change, and in the majority of instances this idea was carried out by the donors. At the exhibit Tuesday afternoon, at which most of the members of the guild and many friends were present. Mrs. I. P. Mendes, honorary president of the guilds, spoke commending the ladies for the excellent work they had done saying that their work far surpassed their expectations. Mrs. Mendes also asked that the members of the guild use their influence in behalf of the early daily closing of stores, a movement which will, if successfully carried through, greatly benefit employees. The articles collected by the guild will be given to deserving individuals and the various charitable institutions of the city. A meeting of the guild will be held on Monday afternoon, December 4th, at St. Philip's church, Charles street, at 4 o'clock. At this meeting a report of the distribution of the garments will be made. The officer of the guild desire to extend hearty appreciation to all of the members and friends who contributed in any way in making this effort so successful. THOMAS G. YOUNG. Jr Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. Young announce the birth of a son on November 28. He will be named Thomas G. Jr. THOSE WEDDING BELLS DID NOT RING OUT An unusual occurrence took place on last Wednesday night when a large number of guests assembled at the appointed place to witness the marriage ceremony of a supposed to be couple. The approaching wedding was a much talked of affair and indications were that it would be a brilliant event. But for some reason that is still puzzling the community, "Those wedding bells did not ring out." Notwithstanding the fact that everything was in readiness for the occasion (even the minister with his matrimonial book in hand), the anticipation of those present who were bent-upon showering congratulations upon the contracting party, were soon lost in the heavy fog, that covered the city on that night. As time waned on, it began to dawn upon the assembly that something unusual was about to happen, and it did happen for the lady, in the case failed to put, in her appearance. The groom, attired in evening dress, was on the scene and as he was not given the opportunity to answer "I will," he soon departed to a more comfortable spot. At this writing the whereabouts of the bride, to have been are still unknown. Bright Colors and Charming Styles at Evening Functions The Train is Welcomed Bark Again TRANSPARENT ANGEL SLEEVES ARE EVER SO GRACEFUL New York, Nov 24—With all the theaters in full swing and society giving fashionable entertainments for charity and benefits, New York is alive with galeties, and there is no dearth of festivities which afford the best of opportunities to view the beautifully gowned women who gather at the various evening performances and entertainments. All manner of color is thrown together in wild profusion at these gatherings, for fashion has provided a wide range of colors this season. To enumerate each and all of the different colors and their various shades would make a very long list indeed, so let us content ourselves with some of the most prominent. These are bright greens, royal purple, blue and reds in different tones, lighter shades of pink MUCCAEL The Panel Overdress for Evening and blue, apricot and maize, as well as all-white and all-black, which are well represented, as are the black-and-white combinations. As for the styles, certain dominant features applying to most evening gowns are distinctly noticable. The vogue of the train, for instance, is very evident although all gowns do not carry trains. Some long trains, made of the material of the dress, give the stateliness and dignity that has always been associated with trains from olden days. Not so, however, the trains of tulle or net, airy nothings, which are seen on many of this season's gowns. These take on a very frivolous character. They are just bits of soft drapery attached to the back of the dress and meant to be thrown over the arms or neck in the form of scarfs. Lacy Underskirts in Evening Gowns A very popular fancy, worthy of note, Is the use of lacy underskirts with © K. C. For the Street evening frocks, the underskirt forming part of the dress. The dress is usually cut short in front, giving place to a rich petticoat and grade the stopping toward the back. In very elaborate gowns petticoats of silver or gold lace are worn with gowns of rich velvets, silver or gold tissues. Satin and brocaded silks combined with tulle or silk nets also fashion some very sumptuous gowns. The loosely-fitted chemise dress which has been so highly favored is one of the styles frequently seen for evening, and equally popular are the dresses in Moyen Age style. In the sketch is a very graceful evening frock that for quiet simplicity and real elegance can not be surpassed. The foundation is of lace, and the overdress, which hangs in panels at the front and back, is of chiffon, velvet or satin. A beaded girdle with tasseled ends wound twice around the waist. Dance frocks are still worn moderately short. Even the dresses with trains are not long though skirts in general, as everyone knows, are longer this season than last. Mention must be made of the new angel sleeves which are seen on so many gowns. These graceful flowing sleeves are of transparent tulle or net. Some of them reach almost to the hem of the skirt while others are a good deal shorter, reaching only as far as the waistline or thereabout. A Smart Street Dress In the smart walking dress shown in the sketch is seen an example of one of the very new sleeves for daytime dresses. The fulness at the elbow is obtained by means of pleats, below which the sleeve fits very closely from the elbow to the wrist. Such details as the sleeves and the unusual pockets at the sides of the skirt give marked distinction to the dress. The fulness at the sides with a flat panel at the front and back is characteristic of many of the new designs. On this figure is also seen one of the small turban hats with flowing veil which are being very much worn at present. The small hats have very little trimming on them. As many of the veils are heavily embroidered with wool or chenille at the top serves as a decoration for the hat, which needs on other trimming: The embroidered part of the veil covers the top of the hat. Small hats are enjoying great popularity and the Russian turbans are considered especially smart. When hats are not small they are very large and many of them are oddly shaped. Large picture hats of black velvet or hatters' plush are quite popular. They are trimmed with ostrich or paradise and are lovely for formal wear. FIFTEEN. DAYS' CAMPAIGN FOR CHARITY HOSPITAL The present building, housing Charity Hospital has been used for a number of years and is fastly becoming inadequate to the needs of this community. The Charity Hospital has served a very useful purpose. It has been a blessing to many people; it has widened the influence of the Negro physician and has furnished him an opportunity for the unlimited practice of his profession. And now comes this institution which has served so many persons and purposes, asking the public generally to assist it in its effort to get into a modern building in order to carry on to better advantage the work it has so nobly begun. The campaign to raise $20,000 begins December 5th and will continue through the nineteenth The meetings of the teams, captains and workers will be held daily, during the fifteen days canvass (Saturday and Sunday excepted). At these meetings the teams will report results secured and listen to addresses by interested and experienced persons, thereby keeping up the enthusiasm of the workers. After the first meeting, reports of the teams will be received regularly at these daily meetings. The members of each team will report the results of their work to the captains and the captains will report the team's work to the general chairman. This program must be followed in order to keep the work in line with the system outlined by the committee. A score will be kept each day, to see which team will lead. The public is cordially invited to be present at these meetings. The meetings will be held at St. Augustine hall, and will begin at 8:30 p.m., and last one hour. The following committees are to aid in carrying out the program: Publicity committee—Drs. W. A. Harris, C. C. Middleton, C. E. Brent and L. D. Williams. Score committee—R. W. Gadsden, Dr. W. A.

MARY LONG Trained Nurse BOARD OF TRUSTEES HARDSTEW VISITS ARKANSAS Hot Springs, Arkansas.—I write this week with fear and trembling, and the least thing would make me faint and perhaps have a fit. It is because I am in Hot Springs, and you wonder why all this fear should come over me in Hot Springs. Have you been here? If you have not then you don't understand all of this, and if you have been here then you can see for yourself just what I am driving at and what I am saving to the world, or at least a part of it at any rate. Do you know who made this world? If not then I don't, but the whole of the people know that the Lord God of heaven made the world, and then I think he must have made the heaven and then the hot place too. I am of the opinion that I am now near the hot place, because they have big hills all around the town, and they get hot water right out of the hills. It seems to flow freely all the time. Now I want to know what it is that keeps that water hot, unless it is not fire from the home of the devil, and I fear that some of my friends who have gone to that place of perpetual summer are helping to keep the water hot. I do not mean to say that this is true but it feels mighty funny to me, and I am not going to do too much talking about it. Suppose that fire should break out, then where would I be? I am going to get away from here as soon as possible. Perhaps you want to know just what I am doing here, and since you want to know I will have to tell you, so you just listen. I heard that the Baptist state convention was going to meet here, and I considered that I should come down and see them. I was invited here by Dr. F. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, also president of the Arkansas Baptist convention. Well, I am here and believe me they have had a great big convention here. Last week before coming here I was in Osceola, Ark., with Bishop J. M. Conner, who is in charge of the THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE work of the African Methodist church in this state and in Oklahoma. He is a man who has started from the bottom and worked his way to the top, and now he is serving in his own state, and presiding over men who worked side by side with him, some of them fought him when he looked up for higher things. They spoke about him, and wrote about him, but he just went right on. He studied hard, making every day count for something higher. When he took a high seat there was not one who could hold a light for him. Now he is bishop and seemingly has forgotten the men who fought him and he is treating all men alike. He is giving them just what they can make. Good for him.

Lives are being united each day of the year, and it is hard to tell just where all of this will end. Marriage is not a failure, and when you see two young people uniting, just give them a kind word and tell them to stick together until the end of time. This is what I am going to say this week to Miss Lydia Vivian Moore, and Edward Merrick, both of Durham, N. C., and both coming from the best families. I know that they are to be married if it is not over already. Both of these young people belong to officials of the North Carolina Mutual and Providence Association. The father of the bride is secretary and treasurer, while the groom's father is the president, and all well-known. They should do well, because they have the example before them. While in Memphis a few days ago I had the pleasure of dropping in on Dr. W. T. Vernon, who is now pastor of Avery Chapel. A. M. E. church and you know one of the most prominent figures in the race today. I say "you know" because I believe you do. He has been before America as but few of our race have been. He has held the position that was once held by B. K. Bruce, Judson Lyons and J. C. Napier. His name was placed on all the money bills to make them worthwhile in this country for use. He held his position and held it well. He was succeeded by Hon. J. C. Napier, and now he is preaching the word. In his church work, he is making success, and has turned out to be one of the best pastors in the A. M. E. connection.

The company that has perpetuated its notice, which is "Promptness, Honesty and Justice," so well, that the public in general and the policy holders in particular, style it the people's company, in which your dime or twenty-five cents does it full duty in bringing home to you tangible results. For insureance that really protects, join Mr. Vernon has seen something of the world. He is a native of Missouri, and his mother is down in Memphis with him. I don't know just how long she is to be there, but I do know that Dr. Vernon and his wife are both attentive to her and she is real happy. I am sure that that mother must be proud of her son. Boys in this age should strive to make their mothers happy in their old days, and this can be done by making each day count for something. Each one of them can make good, and each one can be a real christian gentleman. I know it is hard to make a boy see things, because of his life and his inclinations. There are but few things to encourage the boys of our race, especially in the south. They are told that he higher positions are for white boys and white men only and they must stand aside. The door of hope is often closed in their faces, and they are told by parents that they are not going to be anything in life. Now with all this before the boy is it surprising that he should fail? We must change things up, and whether we can see in it or not, open up to the vision of our boys and girls the door of hope. Let them look in and then tell them that there are better things ahead. It is not going to do and be this way all the time. Branch office 509 WEST BROAD St. Local and Long distance telephones 4129 & 1463- J. S. PERRY, Supt. A. B. SINGFIELD, General Supt.

Husted, who during the seventies and eighties of the last century was for many years speaker of the New York Assembly, was noted far and wide for his ability to quell, as presiding officer, almost instantly any legislative or political convention, no matter how turblent or how great the passion that caused it. During the session of the New York legislature of 1880 General Husfeld presided as speaker over the lower house. In about two weeks after the session began disorder suddenly broke out on the floor of the Assembly as a result of some bitter partisan accusations. I heard the speaker rap sharply to see what effect the raps would have and to my intense surprise I saw by far the greater portion of members standing quietly and rigidly like soldiers who had received and obeyed the command to stand at attention. After the House had adjourned for the day General Husted was asked how he had been able to secure calm on the instant at the height of the disorder. The speaker smiled enigmatically, "Wait until next time the Assembly kicks up a rumpus", was all he would say. Perhaps a week later another storm swept over the house. When it was at its height the Speaker leaned over his desk and said to me: "Come up and take a seat by me, and keep your eyes open." Suddenly the Speaker stood up and struck three resounding blows with his gavel. As the last blow resounded through the chamber a majority of the members instantly ceased their shouting. A moment later General Husted struck the gavel once, and these members took their seats and the quiet of a Quaker meeting prevailed in the Assembly chamber. I looked wonderingly at the Speak- MISS PRETTYPEACH AND THE WILLIBOYS. er and then he explained. "Well, in the most legislative bodies and in the majority of political conventions, I have found that a majority of these present are apt to belong to the Masonic fraternity. They are therefore able to recognize the meaning that is in the stroke of the gavel. And I have yet to have my first gavel imparted communication to my brother Masons to pass unheeded."—Selected Duty Masonry lays on us the duty to lead clean, pure, useful, temperate, and charitable lives; that in every condition and circumstance of life we should remember our high calling; that we should know how to do charity, not only in the relief of financial distress, but in all the ministrations that love dictates to the just and generous heart; that we should never forget our duties as citizens, and in all the responsibilities of citizenship be true in public and private life; that in the home relations our lives should be such that content, comfort and happiness shall reign, and that as we journey through life we shall hold aloft the light of truth, making clear the way to those who follow—Virginia Masonic Journal. Eliminating the Dross "As the power of efficiency and electricity can be communicated only through certain agencies, so the potency of Masonry can be properly applied to certain characters. Many good men have passed through the ceremony of initiation without benefit to themselves, and many men have been made better through its lessons of truth and morality. This fact makes extremely difficult the task of determining the qualifications which a candidate should possess in order to constitute him good material for membership in the lodge, and in consequence many mistakes have been made, and will continue. The problem confronts us, then, of eliminating the undesirable element from the organization; and this is the most serious of our difficulties. There is a tendency among the officers and members of lodges to avoid the trouble and scandal of trial and expulsion, and consequently the useless and superfluous material, the non-conductors of Masonry, remains to mar the beauty and retard the progress of our institution. It is a duty which each lodge owes the fraternity in general to rid itself of any vicious and immoral element which it has unwittingly admitted, be maintained and our funds preserved for the relief of the worthy in distress. "While the mantel of charity may be used to cloak an occasional lapse, a continued and persistent course of misconduct should be discountenanced and severely punished. "Thus only can we preserve unsullied the reputation of the fraternity and remove every aspersion against our valuable institution."—Selected. As a fraternity moves forward and grows stronger it is beset with new conditions and incidents. Perhaps no subject requires greater care than that of extending Masonic relief. The fact that nearly every secret organization of the period has attached, to it both sick and death benefits, has led a great many to suppose that Masonry is likewise obligated to care for the indigent and it is, therefore, very often imposed unon. A great deal of complaint is heard at times because the fraternity does not hire nurses, pay sick benefits, bury the dead for those who are well able to pay these claims themselves. The whole system of Masonic relief is based upon helping those who are unable to hel themselves and whenever any lodge commences to extend relief to those who are able to take care of themselves, it is clearly outside of the province of Masonry and becomes one of W.

Chemical Company or) MEMPHIS, TENN. S. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE It is pleasing to note the growing charitableness of our people in this community. This truly notes an uplifting tendency. A community and a people this characterized will be undoubtedly blessed. Under the headline of "Too Bad! Too Bad! Isn't it?", the New York Brenning Post says: "We look forward eagerly to as-certain from our Southern ex-changes what ought to be done to the Negro on Brown's football team which had the unparalleled impu-ence to-score at will on Yale and Harvard. 'In the victory,' says the Sun, in dangerously inflammable language, 'one man stood out as possibly the greatest halfback of the country, and he is Fred Pollard the Negro player of the Providence team.' We regret to note, too, that when Pollard scored his third touchdown after running forty-six yards through the entire Harvard team, the crowd rose as one and accorded him an ovation rarely heard even on a collegiate field. This is all very generous, of course, but where does it leave our own familiar friends' social prejudice and Anglo-Saxon superiority? Isn't this putting dangerous, ideas into Pollard's head as to what constitutes his proper place? Did not the Stadium crowd realize that by thus applauding a mere 'nigger' they were endangering white supremacy in the South? Perhaps in order to keep Fred Pollard from being unduly elated some one will send him the news from the Macon Dally Telegraph of how a Florida gentleman, on Thursday used a revolver on a colored chauffeur for the henious crime of grinning at him. The bullet missed, but the chauffeur, is in jail on the charge of disorderly conduct!" Our people in the rural districts are handling more money this season than for some time past. They should be very careful in husbanding this spurt of prosperity and prepare for the lean days that are sure to follow. Only real necessities of life should be indulged in. The balance of the money should be safely deposited in a bank. This is a month of election in all of the secret societies. The election of good men for responsible positions means much for the well being of these institutions. It is particularly gratifying to every Negro in this city to know that there is one white person in our midst, Judge Samuel B. Adams, who will come out publicly and denounce the high handed treatment which we have been accorded from time to time and especially recently by the members of the police force. We have always observed that in all public matters Judge Adams never fails to take high ground, that which is above board, and is not afraid to express his convictions. It is, therefore, not surprising to note the tenor of the strong article which the Judge recently sent the editor of the Morning News anent the recent wholesale arrest of our people and the too frequent severe treatment which we have met with from time to time when under arrest. There may be other white men here who deplore the unfairness which has recently been accorded us by the police authorities but they have winced at it and their reticence on such matters makes us appreciate all the more the fair-minded stand watch the Judge takes in our behalf. He is correct in his statement that the large exodus of our people from this section is caused by just such treatment as that which he condemns in his strong utterty to the Morning News. Men of the culture of their Judge are indeed source. Were there a few more of this type here, who would be contrary and enough to come out into public life in half of a stand that is fair when it comes to the way we are treated, there would be but little like- lhood of such actions by the police department as that of last month, when more than a hundred of our men were corralled in the Union station, arrested and grown into prison for no cause whatever, other than that they were about to leave the city. We appreciate the high stand which Judge Adams takes in all public matters and only wish that there were more of his like in our midst.

It may be well to note that the work of the league has touched the tender and responsive chord of many of our people, most of them being among the humble class who generally give from the fullness of their hearts and the meagerness of their purse. When the campaign was inaugurated last year, a lady sent this encouraging note with a donation: "I am enclosing with pleasure a small fee toward your noble and most worthy cause. I regret sincerely not being in a position to contribute more liberally to this laudable work. I truly hope" the Christmas, Fund will reach the $500.00 mark, but trust it will go even beyond, for that amount would be inadequate to give cheer and gladness to our poor and needy suffering children. Wishing you every success in your noble work, with God's blessing." The good lady who wrote the above has since been gathered to her heavenly Father, but her good deed and encouragement remain as a memorial. The annual report of the league has been sent to the members and many friends. They seem loud in their commendation of the work accomplished and planned by the league. The following from Bishop F. F. Reese is especially appreciated: "I have received and read with much pleasure the report of the Urban League for the year past and I wish to congratulate you and the members of the League on the year's successful work and to assure you my continued interest and desire to co-operate with the work of the league in any way in which I can. If you will let me know what the annual dues for membership amount to, I shall be glad to send you the money and be enrolled as a member of the league." All of the members of the canvassing committee are requested to meet at the office of Mr. J. C. Lindsay, Wage Earners Bank building, Thursday night December 7, at 7:30. Reports will be rendered and light refreshments will be served. The ladies canvassing among the merchants are doing exceptionally well. F. A. B. CHURCH BROTHERHOOD HELD INTERESTING MEETING On last Wednesday evening the Laymen's League at the First African Baptist church, Franklin square, listened to an interesting discourse by Mr. J. C. Lindsay. "Serring" was the theme of his discourse. During his discourse he emphasized that the service rendered unto your fellowman was equal to the service rendered unto God, and that when the day of reckoning comes you will be rewarded accordingly. He cited earlier writ to strengthen his argument, which was listened to very attentively, and enjoyed by the brotherhood. Dr. B. F. Becher, president of the Brotherhood, outlined plans for the future operation of the organization and appointed members on the varioa committee. The pastor, Rev. Goodall, who is thoroughly accord with the organization made a splendid talk on the "Article of Faith" in the Baptist church which was followed by short talks along similar lines by others. The next meeting of the brotherhood will be held the third Wednesday in December, the 20th. A large enrollment of members will be looked for, as the enrollment committee will be furnished with enrollment cards to distribute among the male members of the church. URBAN LEAGUE 12, CUYLER 0 The Urban League football team, spurred on by Capt. Dewey Belcher, romped away with the strong Cuyler eleven on Thanksgiving morning at Bolton street park. Between 500 and 600 people witnessed the game, which was sharply contested from start to finish. The teams were about evenly matched as to weight, averaging about 135 lbs, but the superior tactics and speed of the Urban Leaguers triumphed. Capt. Green of Cuyler played a good game, while Marks, Belcher, Maynor, Brown and Belcher showed up well. Hardwick of Cuyler made several line plunges for long gains. A game at the league park between the clubs, is being arranged. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Tomorrow promises to be an interesting day at the Y. M. C. A. In addition to the regular program, the principal address which will be made by Prof. R. W. Gadsden of the East Broad street school, the committee on plans on campaign fund will make its report, thru H. T. Singleton, chairman. The public is cordially invited. MANY POOR PERSONS REMEMBERED THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving day was more generally observed than ever. In several of the churches services were held. In some, dinner was given the poor and others baskets of groceries and money were given. ITEMS OF INTEREST AT CUYLER STREET SCHOOL Industrial Teacher Bradshaw referred the game between the state college boys of Georgia and South Carolina on the 20th. By special invitation he went up to Orangeburg Thanksgiving to referee the big game there between the State College of South Carolina and the Allen University of Columbia. He spent the week-end in Orangeburg inspecting the great schools there. Principal Hubert was an honored guest at the Thanksgiving turkey dinner, served by the domestic science department of the 'Ga. State College on the eve of Thanksgiving He spoke to the students in chapel and visited many of the classes, where he reported excellent work being done. The Cuyler Penny savings department has passed the $320 mark since the opening of school. Miss Alice Ellis is treasurer. On Georgia product day the cooking department served an eight course dinner to the Board of Education and a few specially invited guests. The menu cards were hand illumined, on marble paper, with a ball of cotton daintily attached to each and a quotation from Frank L. Stanton. Superintendent Gibson, in referring to it, said he had never seen a more unique, or attractive form in its originality of design and make up. The Board of Education expressed itself as being very proud of Cuyler's achievements, especially did they praise the fine work of Miss Crogman and her girls. JETER—HOPKINS NUPTIALS The marriage of Mr. Jesse H. Hopkins to Miss Lottie Mae Jeter, on November 21, was a very unique affair. It was not the least, by far, of the many social happenings of the season. It was of interest, not alone to the immediate friends of the contracting parties, but to the entire city. Mr. Hopkins is well known throughout the state, having been with one of of the prominent railroad companies for many years with headquarters in this city. His genial disposition, being possessed of an evenness of temper that is enviable, has won for him a host of friends in the city and all over the state. Miss Lottle Mae is a modest young lady of many qualities, quiet and unassuming. There are many reasons why such a youthful as she, so meek, so mild, should call a halt all any wanderer and force upon him again, to study the special. Under the unyielding influence of her splendid personality Mr. Hopkins was forced to stop and ponder and then to plunge into philosophic pleadings for her heart and head. Being a funnel logician, he finally won out. We congratulate them both. Miss Jeter is a resident of Savannah, living at No. 3, Church street, West Savannah, with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Jeter, their wedding took place at the parental home, and was performed by Rev. H. D. Dunbar.

Many, in consequent, missed witnessing the performance, basing calculations upon the fact that time would not be considered. Many of us know Mr. Hopkins better, than these, and went early. The advantage was outs. Time is a great quality in beginning an undertaking, in the performance of a duty as well as in setting an example. In all of these things, successful accomplishments rest. Mr. Hopkins started upon a journey of life as per his advertised schedule—on time. This is commendable and argues much for his future success. We disregard the frills and tinseled hues in this mention. Frills and fottles and trappings, like flickering fancy, soon fade away, leaving the real, the stubborn realities of life, which will not down. I, therefore, must speak of the things which endure. The Jeter residence is a splendid home arranged in flats. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins will remain with the parents. By the exquisite taste of Mr. Hopkins, the entire apartments have been tastily rearranged to chime with the idea of the new inmates. Delicately tinted walls, not elaborate, but tastily draped with lace hangings artistically caught with ribbons of appropriate color, the apartments were pleasant to look upon. At the front and rear of the home; comely nooks of ferns and flowers were arranged. In every little nook were potted flowers arranged, not temporarily but permanently, to make more pleasant the comely, cozy habitat. The presents received by the contracting parties were all useful articles and go to make up the most needed and indispensible parts of housekeeping. The refreshments were sensibly prepared and served by expert hands. Every body present enjoyed the evening immensely and breathed a deep hope for the future success of the twain SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH After a stay of about ten days in our midst Rev. A. L.

Subject, "The active and passive side of the Christian's preaching service he preached from 2 Cor. 5:1, "Faith, the foundation of Christian religion." The Sunday school met at 3:30 p.m. We are now rehearsing our Christmas carols. The sacred concert by the Cheerful Workers was good. B. Y. P. U. service was quite interesting and the meeting was led by Mr. Raines. There will be baptism on tomorrow. 1.

Green THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO VOTE Attorney General Gregory says that he finds it his duty to investigate violations of the federal law in the recent election, but that his inquiries into abuse will be entirely nonpartisan. "I have evidence," says Mr. Gregory, "that a large number of colored men from the south moved into the northern states within ninety days before election. So far as I know whether this movement was industrial or political, although some of the men attempted to register." Mr. Gregory, we are certain, is not indifferent to the humor of the situation he is examining. It is suspected that some Negroes from the southern states moved up north and voted where they had no right to do so. Probably they were in search of the Thirteenth Amendment. They had the right to vote in the South but could not do so. Mr. Gregory will endeavor to find out whether they voted in the North, where they had no right, but we are not informed that he will endeavor to find out whether Negroes having a right to vote in the South were not permitted to exercise it. There is, as any one may observe, a delicate humor in the matter. We are for having the South attend to its local political affairs as it sees fit. We concede the South the right to protect white domination. The Negro en masse is unfit to rule the South. But we do ask the nation to stop the counting of invoted Negro vote. It is counted in the electoral college. It is not counted in southern precincts, but is counted in the vote of the nation. The Democratic party won this year with the uncast Negro vote and now the attorney general is chiefly interested in discovering whether or not some Negroes escape from the South, where they had the right to vote, but not the privilege of voting, and voted in the North, where they had no right to cast the ballot.

In sad but loving remembrance of my husband, Geo. H. Beckett; who departed this life November 27, 1913. Three years since thou hast deft us. All thy loss we deeply feel. But 'tis God that has benefited; He can all our sorrows heal. With wondering joy his life recount His fear and danger past; Amid the chorus of the skies. Amid the angelic lyres above. Thy passing spirit gently fled. Sustained by grace divine; O! may such grace on us be shed. And make our end like thine. He died in Jesus and is blessed. How kind his slumber is; From suffering and from sin relieved. He is freed from every snare. Far from this world of toll and strife He repents with the Lord; His labor of this mortal life Ends in a large reward. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C. Nov. 27—Wildcat rumors have been floating up and down the community during the past week to the effect that Lawyer James A. Cobb, recently elected a member of the faculty of the Howard University Law School, has been asked to resign and that he has compiled with that request. The reason given by those responsible for the rumor is that the activity of Mr. Cobb during the recent presidential campaign as a member of the Colored Advisory Committee of the Republican National Committee was in violation of the ethics which should be observed by the officers of an educational institution supported largely by his appropriation by and disfurished through Democratic Congress and national administration. Though declining to discuss a length a cock and bill frame up Mr. Cobb, in justice to his friend, was prevailed upon to make a statement. He avens that there is absolutely nothing in the promor that his resignation has been called for, and that he has no intention of resigning. He gives the information that though elected as an instructor in the Howard Law school, his contract does not become of force until next February and that during the campaign period he was not considered an active member of the faculty—and therefore not subject to any ethical limitations that might obtain, later on. The further whisper that he had been certified, for salary, unearned during a month, of the campaign falls to the ground, says Mr. Cobb, from the fact that he was not on the payroll of the university and could not be certified for any salary. * * * Major Walter H. Loving, late of the United States Army, is to live in this city with his bride, the latter a daughter of the late Mr. M. M. McCary, formerly clerk to Paymaster John R. Lynch. Major Loving has consented to take charge of the Washington Concert Band and Orchestra, provided a corps of 100 musicians can be secured by a given time. The music loving people of Washington are anxious to have the skilled services of Major Loving for this work and energetic efforts are being put forth to sign up the required number of players in the fewest days. Major Loving is confident that with the proper spirit of co-operation, he can organize here a musical unit that will rank with the Clerf and Tempo Clubs of New York "City, Miss Burroughs Wina her Case From all appearances and from direct assurance from many sources, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the energetic president of the National Training school for women and girls, has won her case. The proposed "investigation" has been dropped like a hot potato, and Rev. R. C.

Services Sunday were good. Rev. Johnson preached Sunday morning. The pastor preached at night. Services Sunday: Prairier meeting 5:30; Sunday school 10:15 preaching 11:30 and 8 p. m. ST. MARY'S SCHOOL There is a great necessity for a kindergarten school on the west side of this city. Various prominent persons have expressed their desire to see a kindergarten opened in that part of the city, where many children too young as yet to be received in the ordinary grammar schools, might find shelter and be instructed in the very first rudiments of education. In order to remedy this necessity, St. Mary's school will add to the ordinary grades of a grammar school, a kindergarten department to start on Monday, December 11th. St. Mary's school, being a charitable institution only a normal fee of five cents a week will be charged. Children of all denominations are welcome and their religion will not be interfered with. Please apply to the teachers of St. Benedict's school. West 30th and Harden streets. GOOD WILL BAPTIST CHURCH Good Will Baptist Church, Gwinnett street, west, Rev. W. H. Prince, pastor.

BENEDICTS CHURCH One of the most beautiful celebrations ever held in St. Benedict's church was that of last Sunday, when members of the church and hosts of their friends gathered to honor Very Rev. Ig. Lissner on the occasion of his silver jubilee. Solemm high mass was sung by the venerable Jubilarian, assisted by Rev. Thomas O'Keefe as deacon and Rev. Fr. Scherrer as sub-deacon. Rev. Jas. A. Dahlent acted as master of ceremonies. Owing to a sudden illness of Rt. Rev. Bishop Keille who was to preach on the occasion, Rev. Fr. O'Keefe took his place and delivered an instructive as well as touching extemporanious sermon on "The Dignity of Priesthood." In a very delicate manner he set forth the achievements of the distinguished Jubilarian to whom he is united by a friendship of nearly 25 years. The choir of St. Benedict's contributed largely to the solemnity of the ceremony by rendering with unequaled brilliancy one of the best masses of its repertory. At the end of the high mass, the clergy, preceded by the cross, and followed in long procession by the congregation, repaired to the new school, where the Jubilarian blessed with his own hand the building he had himself erected for the benefit and formation of the colored youth. Numerous groups of pleased visitors thronged the rooms and hall of the school after it had been blessed, and admired the perfect condition and modern improvements of the building. The evening service likewise was of unusual solemnity. The large congregation enjoyed to the utmost, the unwonted but so deeply impressive melodies of the solemn vespers, which the choir rendered to the satisfaction of all present. Rev. A. Laube, L. A. M., pastor of the church of the Immaculate Conception, Augusta, Ga., in an eloquent and touching address, spoke of the solicitude of the Rev. Jubilarian for the christian education ad nsalvation of the colored children, and, looking forward to the golden jubilee of Fr. Lissnes, expressed the hope that a colored priest a child of Fr. Lissner's school, would then perform the pleasing task of congratulating the then aged Jubillrain. The memorial day closed with the solemn benediction of the most blessed sacrament. Monday night a large crowd attended the reception and concert given in honor of Fr. Lissuer's silver jubilee in the new parish hall. The seating capacity of the hall is 600 and yet hundreds of spectators had to remain standing. The well selected program was carried out to perfection and reflected credit on teachers and pupils. The two chorus numbers, *Carbon ye Portals Everlasting* and "The Heavens are declaring" given by St. Benedict's chorus assisted by some of their friends, was well rendered under the able direction of Prof. Gadsden. Our congratulations and heartfelt thanks to all. After the program, Rev. Jes. Dahlent, well-known in Savannah where for years he spent his labors in a masterly way, introduced the speaker of the evening, Rev. Thomas O'Keefe of New York. Father O'Keefe's address was highly interesting and instructive. His remarks ran on religious education. He stated that more than fifteen million dollars was expended every year for the fifteen hundred thousand children that frequent the Catholic schools in the United States. Father O'Keefe also congratulated Rev. Fr. J. Jusner on the great work he has accomplished in Georgia, and expressed his pleasure to be in Savannah for the occasion of his silver inublee. To show their devotion to Rev. Fr. Lissner for all he has done and is doing for the colored people in Savannah and in Georgia, the congregation delegated Mr. Jos. King to present him with a purse of four hundred dollars. BETH EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH Beth Eden Baptist church. Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor. Rev.

The Sunday school lesson "A living sacrifice" was very plainly explained by Rev Thomas Walker of Palatka. Fl. The morning service was conducted by Rev. Green. The lesson was from Rev. 7:1-12. The sermon was very appropriate and a profitable lesson to all. Quite a crowd witnessed the baptism and a number of visitors at communion. The junior and senior B. X. P.

Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29, 1916 To the Public As a minister of the gospel, and as one working for the uplift of the Negro race, I address you. Florida is my home. Four years ago, however, I was invited by the Georgia conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, to make Georgia my field of labor. I accepted, and was located first in Atlanta and then came to Savannah. At this place I have resided since April 16th, 1912. I came here recommended by the Florida conference of Seventh-day Adventists as a minister in good standing. There were no colored people in this city practicing the doctrine that we preach up to the time of my arrival. It will be remembered that I erected my gospel tent at the corner of 33rd and West Broad streets. As a result of my meetings, I gathered members from almost every church in the city. There were also white people added to the membership of the white Seventh-day Adventists church here. As the doctrine which I preach differs somewhat from the doctrines of other denominations, in that I honestly believe that the seventh day of the week is (not was) the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, and that all mankind as well as beast should rest on that day. it has created unmeasured prejudice against me and my church. The reason why so much more notice is taken to my preaching and the converts that are won to my church is first, when a person is converted to the doctrines I preach, the God of heaven comes first, and not the boss of his job, nor the money in the boss's pocket. This man who is converted to the doctrines of Jesus Christ as is taught in the Bible, and who has worked seven days in the week, now works the first six days, and rests on the seventh-day of the week. Likewise, the woman who has cooked, washed, scrubbed or ironed seven days in the week, is now converted and she works only six days in the week and rests on the (not a) seventh day: This causes trouble. Who is to blame? Of course the preacher. What next? Efforts are made to put him (the preacher) out of commission. Second, the husband and wife have trouble over this sabbath question. The wife leaves home because the husband is obeying God in keeping the Sabbath. The husband drives the wife out for the same cause. Who has separated this family? The preacher of that Saturday keeping church. Since, however, we are in a free country, and have the rights to worship God according to the dictates of our conscience, therefore, it is a third matter to convict one because of his religious belief. But what can he done to put this preacher and his doctrine out of commission? Is the question in the mind of the most illiterate colored people in Savannah. At least the problem was solved. And what was it? Just swear out a warrant making a charge of the most degrading nature, secure witnesses, condemn him, and thereby eliminate him from the city. This plan was decided upon and tried last December, 1915. But what has been accomplished? Nothing. I have not paid out one cent court fine. This of course, is God's promise to His servants; "Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the water to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servant of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the Lord."

I, being the most undesirable colored man in the city, shall continue my work in the fear of God, hoping to convince the better class of people of Savannah, that such slanderous reports, manufactured and scattered to the four winds only by the trash of the city, was for the purpose of injuring my influence.

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! Joyful, all ye natious, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the Virgin's womb. Velled in flesh the Godhead see; Hall the Incarnate Delly, Pleased as man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel!

IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old. From angles bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; Peace on earth, good-will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King; The world in solemn stillness lay To bear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lonely plains They bend on hovering wing. And ever o'er its Babel sounds. The blessed angels sing. O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toll along the climbing way With painful steps and slow! Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: Oh, rest beside the weary read, And hear the angels sing. For le, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old. When with the ever-breaking years, Shall come the time foretold. When the new heaven and earth shall own. The Prince of Peace their King. And the who's world send back the song NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL —CONTINUED of accounts, he would not order the coming of a committee unless Miss Burroughs invited it. The people of the country, backed by the press and the level-headed members of the National Baptist Convention, were a unit for Miss Burroughs. The victory is a wholesale triumph for the right. ```markdown ``` There are many who would like to see a military department established at Howard University, such as has long been in vogue at Wilberforce, under the instruction of an officer of the regular army. A short time ago there was held in this city a conference of college presidents, who discussed at length the feasibility of a military department in their schools, and the majority favored the idea. They felt that national preparedness for intelligent military duty was a vital issue before the American people, and that order, discipline and manly courage would be promoted by a systematic study of army tactics. Harvard University will be among the first of the great schools to inaugurate this movement. The friends of Howard think the leading institution of our race for higher education should have a military department, and a goodly number of the faculty are in- O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM O little town of Bathlehen! How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met hi thee to night. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all abore, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King; And peace to men on earth. How silently, -ow silently, The wonderous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven, No ear may hear His coming. But in this world of sin. Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter In, Be born in us today; We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; Oh come to us abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! HOLY NIGHT Holy Night! Peaceful Night! All is dark, save the light, Yonder where they sweet Virgil Leap Over the babe who in silent sleep Rest in heavenly peace, Rest in heavenly peace. Holy Night! Peaceful Night. Only for shepherd's sight, Came Blest visions of angel throngs. With their lond halleujah songs, Saying Jesus is come, Saying Jesus is come. Holy night! peaceful night! Child of Heav'n, O! how brigrt Thou didst smile on us when Thou was born, Blest indeed was that happy morn, Full of heavenly joy, Full of heavenly joy, CHRIST IS BORN Christ is born of malden fair; Hark the heralds in the air, Thus adoring descant there, "In Excelsis Gloria." Shepherds saw those angels bright, Carolling in glorious light; "God. His Son is born to-night, "In Excelsis Gloria." Christ is come to save man-kind, As in holy page we find, Therefore this song bear in mind, "In Excelsis Gloria."

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns: Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness: And wonders of His love. clined to favor it. The movement to unionize the South's labor is attracting much attention. The feeling is that the plan inaugurated by Samuel Gompers and fostered by T. Wallace Swann is all right, provided the unions "tote square" with its colored labor because organized labor has been antagonistic toward the black man in the trades. It is tated that if organized labor is on the level, for every step the American Federation of Labor takes toward the Negro, the Negro will take two toward it. We shall see what we shall see. --- Word comes that when the army is further increased Lieut. Col. Charles Young, now attached to the 10th Calvary and the only colored officer of his rank assigned to the line, will be made a full Colonel and given active duty with his command, as such. First Class Sergeant George T. Williams, a Chicagoan, assigned to truck company No. 2 at Columbus, N. M., is the only colored first class sergeant on duty, out of a total of 205. The progress of the Negro in the United States army is being eagerly watched by the rank and file of our people everywhere. Congressman W. A. Rodenberg, of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE illinois, has won for himself a place in the hall of fame by publicly declaring that the teachers of the District and the employees of the federal government are woefully underpaid and that he will favor the passage of a bill increasing the compensation of these faithful workers by 33 1-3 per cent. to meet the extraordinary increase in the cost of living. This is but simple justice and Mr. Rodenberg should be encouraged to make a vigorous fight for what he believes to be right. Itev. John Van Schalck, Jr., president of the board of education, addressed the new Monument Bible Class and Sunday school of the Metropolitan Baptist church Sunday afternoon. He took high ground on efficient and honest school management, pensions and increased salaries for teachers and gave an illuminating survey of the value of Bible study in the inculcation of higher ideals for all classes of citizens. Dr. Vanschack is being heard by many colored assemblies and is always listened to with profit and pleasure by teachers, pupils and citizens alike. He has made the board of education a vital force for the uplift of this community. * * * Messrs. Richard P. Green of the Treasury Department, and Nelson E. Wetherless, teacher of science in Dunbar High school, subscribed $5.00 to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund this week. They are practical believers in Negro education. --- Because of the increase in the cost of paper and printing materials and the inadvisability of raising the annual subscription price, the Monthly Board of the Sub Committee of Management of the G. P. O. of O. F. has decided to publish the Odd Fellow's Journal only twice a month instead of weekly. Honor Dillon W. P. Slaughter, beginning December 7, will issue the Journals on the first and third Thursdays in each month. . . . Mr. William H. Hagans, formerly of Goldshoro, N. C., but now engaged in business in Philadelphia, was in the city last week the guest of his brother, Mr. Henry E. Hagans, local representative of the Royal Knights of King David a North Carolina insurance company of high standing. The Washington Elks, under the progressive administration of Grand Exalted Ruler Armond W. Scott, are discussing the feasibility of building a magnificent Elks' Home. The beautiful structure of the Elks on Hoffman street in Baltimore is pointed out as an example of what can be accomplished here. If the local bodies will just get a hustle on themselves --- An immense crowd saw the returns flashed on the night of the 7th from a screen erected in front of the office of the Washington Eagle The joint enterprise of J. W. Lewis, founder and president of the Industrial Savings Bank and J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Eagle, is responsible for the innovation. It was the first exhibit of election returns ever pulled off under colored auspices in this city. --- Mr. George W. Jackson, of the office of Auditor for the post office department, for several years a resident of Radio, Va. has moved into town and with his little family, has taken apartments at 1720 14th street. Mr. Carl Diton, the famous pianist, gave an enjoyable recital recently at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. He was supported by the Dunbar High school chorus, under the direction of Miss Mary L. Europe. The program embraced a series of classic and popular numbers and new admirers were won to Mr. Diton's standard. The recital was under the joint auspices of the Metropolitan and Plymouth Congregational churches. The Order of St. Luke held an important business meeting at Plymouth Congregational church Monday evening, with District Deputy, Rev. A. C. Garner, as principal speaker. Every council in the District was represented. The position of principal of the Cardozo Vocational school is still unfilled, as far as permanent appointment is concerned. It is stated that the designation of Dr. J. H. N. Waring as the head of this important branch of the service is unlikely now, as a desperate personal fight has been waged upon him. In the mean time F. E. Parks remains as temporary charge. Mr. Richard C. Bundy, secretary of the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia, is in the city again, after a trip to his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he went to cast his vote. He says the result in the Buckeye State was due to local issues, personal dissension and imperfect amalgamation of the old-line Republicans and the Provisions of 1912. Mr. Bundy will be here under instructions of the State Department for some weeks yet. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 3, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Rev. i, 1-8, 17-20. Memory Veres, 4-6 - Golden Text, Rev. i, 17, 18 - Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It is certainly a rare privilege to have some studies in this last and in some respects best and most wonderful of all the sixty-six books of the Bible, the only one that has a special blessing pronounced upon those who read and hear and keep its precious words (4, 3). The correct title of the book is found in verse 1, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ," and it is the summing up and unfolding of all things concerning Him and His Kingdom. It tells of that which God gave Him to show unto us, and He sent it by His messenger unto His servant, John. It does seem most unkind to and rebellious against such a God and Father to turn away from such a book and refuse to read it or, refer to it, as many, even among preachers, do. It was John's business, as it is ours, to bear record of the Word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even though we should be banished for it, as John was, or even killed, as others were (4, 2, 9; vl. 9; xil. 17). He is and was and will be ever the saine Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity; who in the fulness of time came as God manifest in the flesh, the Word made flesh, and is coming again to set up His kingdom on this earth (verses 4. 3; Mic. v. 2, margin; Gal. iv. 4; 1 Tim. 11; 10; John l. 14) The message concerning Him, is always to every sinner the grace that saves and the peace which He has purchased by His own blood (verse 4; chapter xxii, 21; Eph. 11, 13; Col. 1. 20). The Spirit loves to bear witness to Him, and the seven Spirits suggest the perfect fullness of the power and testimony of the Spirit (verse 4; chapters 11; 1 lv. 5; v. 6). He is the faithful witness, called Faithful and True, and all His words are true and faithful (verse 5; chapter ill, 14; xix, 11; xx1, 5; xx1, 0). He is the first begotten of the dead. Christ the first fruits (verse 5; Col. 1, 18; I Cor. xv, 23). Because of His resurrection others have risen and others will rise—they that are Christ's at His coming: He is the Prince of the kings of the earth, King of kings and Lord of lords, and all kings shall fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him (verse 5; chapter xyl, 14; xix, 16; I Tim. vi, 15; Ps. xx11, 1). How glorious He is and will be! Does not your heart cry out, "Yea. He is altogether lovely; this is my Beloved, and this is my Erendt." (Song v. 16) As John thinks upon these things he by the Spirit breaks forth with the ascription. "Unto Him that loveth us and washed us from our sins in His own blood" reminding us of much we have so recently written in the lesson notes concerning all believers being washed, sanctified, justified (1 Cor. vi. 11). In John xill. 10. He said. "He that is washed is clean every whit." It is our standing in Him which is perfect because of His comeliness (Ezek. xvl. 14). Then, as to our future, see the wonders of His grace and glory in making us kings and priests unto God to reign in His kingdom (verse 6; chapters v. 9, 10; xx. 6) "Behold. He cometh with clouds" (verse 7). This is His coming in glory with His saints, as the Sun of Righteousness, of which Enoch prophesied before the deluge; His coming to judge the nations, when they shall wall and be angry because of Him, when Israel snail look on Him whom they pierced and become a penitent nation and receive Him as their Messiah (Jude 14: Zech. xv. 5, 1. c.; Mal. iv. 2; Zech. ill. 8; Zech. xill. 10; xiv. 13; Rev. xl. 18; vl. 15-17). He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last (verses 8, 11; chapters ill. 14; xxl. 6; xxil. 13; Isa. xll. 4; xliv. 6; xliv. 12). Not all His titles can tell of Him as He should be known, and it will always be true of Him, at least while we stay here, that the hair has not been told. John, being in the Spirit, heard behind him a great voice as of a trumpet, and, turning to see the voice, he saw seven golden candlesticks, which, he was told, represented seven churches, of which we shall hear more in our next lesson (verses 10-12 20). In the midst of the candlesticks, he saw Him on whose bosom he had leaned when He was on earth, but he had never seen Him like this, not even when He was transfigured, and he was so overcome that he fell at His feet as dead (verses 13-17), but the same right hand was laid upon him, and the same voice said so kindly. "Fear not; I was dead, but I am alive for evermore." In studying this book I have always used the following outline: Chapter I.—Christ in the midst of the churches. II and III.—His last messages to the churches. IV and V.—The church gone from the earth. VI to XVIII.—Between the rapture and the return. XIX.—The marriage and the return. XX.—The thousand years. XXI and XXII.—The New Earth. I would urge all to memorize the description of Him in verses 13-16 until you can close your eyes and see Him somewhat as John saw Him. Memorize also the description of Him ad given in xix: 11-16, for then we shall be coming with the story. PHONE : WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.

PAGE EIGHT The Negro Men Should Register By J. C. Lindsay While it is a fact that the National Negro Business League was not organized by its founder, the lamented Booker T. Washington, for the purpose of dabbling in matters purely political, nor has this organization at any time, during the seventeen years of its existence, attempted to exert an influence, other than to assist the members of the race in matters pertaining to business, pure and simple, but, at this time, the members of the local branch of the National Negro Business League feels it not robbery to call attention to the importance of every man of the race paying his tax and registering, so as to be qualified to vote on any proposition which may come up, which may be left to the discretion of men to decide. It is indeed, a deplorable sight to see grown up men who have no more voice or vote in the government of their city, county, state or nation, than a baby, and a girl baby at that. Some careless, cowardly crying fellow will say: "I would vote, but the registrars will not let me register." That is no excuse at all. A manly man, who feels that he is responsible to his wife and baby at home for the kind of laws enacted and feels that he should take a hand in electing the officers who are to enforce the laws put on books, whether they be municipal, county, state or national laws, will see to it that if he is denied the right to walk to he court house, as other men, and pay his tax, register and when occasion require it, vote, we say such a man should take legal steps to see that such a sacred right be not denied him. There is not an honest white man in Georgia, but who will not encourage and, if need be, protect the taxpaying, property-owning, non purchasable voting Negro. Every manly man admires true manhood when he sees it in another, be he white or black. Therefore, in this letter, we are appealing to the men of the race, to go go to the court house and pay your poll tax, see to it that your names are placed on the books as men and as voters. Don't wait another day, go now. In a civilized government like ours, our rights as citizens, depend upon the ballot. You may say what you please, you may talk all the big fancy talk you wish, you may qrate until you are hoarse, but if you cannot vote when election day comes around, believe me, the other fellow has but little respect for you. The local league does not care much if it should happen to insult and make a few so-called "big uns" just a little angry in its letter of this week if they would only get angry enough to go to the court house and pay their taxes and see to it that they become qualified voters. If it was not for the fact that it would be giving away a little family secret that we do not wish to divulge at this time, we would tell our many readers who see our letter weekly about the number of so-called "big uns" many of whom are trying to tell the people how to live spiritually and otherwise every week, who are just as voteless themselves as the little grand daughter of the writer, who has not yet joined the suffragette party on account of her tender years. Now, voteless men, if you are angry to the extent that you are going to pay your tax and register at once, then we feel that this letter has accomplished that where unto it was sent. Come early to your next meeting, Wednesday evening December 6th, there will be reports made that you will be interested in. NEWS FROM BRUNSWICK, GA.
