This subdivision which is composed of about 200 lots averaging 50 x150 feet in size, is now being graded, and when improvements have been completed will be one of the finest resorts for Negroes on the south Atlantic board. Palmetto trees are being set out and within the next few weeks a causeway leading to the Ile of Hope river will be in the course of erection. While much attention has been attracted to this new Negro project and many inquiries made about the scheme, yet the lots have not as yet been placed on the market and will not be until Monday morning when Mr. Bowen will deliver to all those who have requested them, and others who apply, the choice locations in this beautiful new settlement. In order to clean up the sale by Christmas, a special sale of lots will he put on Friday, December 22nd, when free transportation will be, arranged to Hope Crest by all wishing to go out, the vehicles leaving Mr. Bowen's office all during that day on regular schedule times. 94; Victoria Johnson 93.

GEORGIA,SATURDAY DECEMBER 9TH 1916 The high cost of paper and other printer's material has hit newspaper publishers hard. Many publishers have therefore been forced to increased their subscription rates in order to meet this advanced price in material. The Tribune, desiring to continue the same class of paper it has given to its readers for many years, will likewise have to increase its subscription rate. Therefore after January 1st, 1911, the subscription rate of $1.25 per year will be advanced to $1.50. All subscribers who desire to renew their subscriptions for the coming year may do so at the old rate, $1.25, provided it is paid before the first day of January. The Six Month rate will increase to $1.60. Charity Hospital 15 Day Campaign Charity Hospital 15 Day Campaign OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS REPORTED BY YESTERDAY Prominent Speakers to Appear at Solicitors' Meeting Next Week The fifteen day campaign which was started Tuesday for $20,000 to erect a new and more adequate building for Charity Hospital and Training School for Nurses has already resulted in over $300 being raised for this worthy institution, this amount being reported by the solicitors at the meeting last night. The campaign will continue until December 20th when it is hoped the amount sought will have been secured, or so nearly this much that the amount lacking will be easily raised in a subsequent appeal. The work of the campaign has been apportioned to various committees with Mrs. L. A. Lucas as chairman, and nightly reports are made by the solicitors at the Urban League's head quarters. These nightly meetings have proved very interesting to those attempting to raise the amount sought by the campaign workers and are a means of telling each day just what progress has been made. At the meetings next week several prominent speakers will address the solicitors On Monday night Rev. Rev. J. L. Taylor and Prof. John Mcutosh will be the principal speakers-Tuesday night, Rev. S. T. Redd and Prof. R. W. Gudden; Wednesday night, Rev. J. S. Stripling and Prof. J. W. Hubert; Thursday night, Rev. L. W. Cash and Prof. L. B. Thompson and Friday night, Rev. David Wright. Charity Hospital is the only institution of the kind in the city where Negro play-leagues practice and while it receives $800,000 a year from the city for public patients, this amount is by far insufficient for the large number of city patients treated there. The institution has to rely largely on private donations in order to make ends meet and to carry on its work in an efficient manner. It has greatly outgrown its present wooden structure and the campaign which is now being waged for public help is being put on so that sufficient funds may be raised to erect a larger, more suitable and more adequate structure in which to carry on its work. BUL BUL ATTRACTING WIDE ATTENTION Record Crowd Expected at Empire Club's Play Bul Bul. the comic operatet to be presented by members of the Empire Club, assisted by friends, is attracting wide attention and indications point to a record crowd at the new Catholic hall on the night of December 29th when this very amusing and entertaining play will be presented. Prof. R. W. Gadsden, who is directing musical numbers and Prof W. P. Tucker who has charge of the dramatic portion of the play, are very enthusiastic over the progress that has been made in the various rehearsals and expect the rendition of Bul Bul to be one of the most finished amateur plays ever presented here. The cast of characters includes something over fifty persons all of whom have shown up to excellent advantage in the rehearsals. Aside from the entertaining features of Bul Bul, the dancing which will follow the rendition of the play will undoubtedly attract many who have not yet had a chance to exhibit their tern-chorean steps in this beautiful new hall, and for their portion of the evening's pleasure a ten-piece orchestra has been engaged. Reserved seats for the play may be had at Scott Brothers, Gwinnett and West Broad. Mrs. Leola Jordan Wright, who was called home on account of the death of her husband, M. Perry R. Wright, has returned to Chicago. Ill. where she will rejoin the French Opera Company. Mrs wright will tour the western states with the company.

NUMBER 14 POLICE UPHELD IN ILLEGAL ARRESTS INVESTIGATION BEFORE POLICE COMMITTEE SHOWS Mayor Defends Police Committee of Negroes With L. E. Williams Spokesman Bares Complaints A committee from the Negro Business League which filed a protest to the city council recently on account of the wholesale arrest of our people which have been made on two occasions within the past four months, was given a hearing Wednesday at 12:30 o'clock before the police committee of the city council. The conference lasted for about two hours in which time the two specific cases of arrests in which more than 125 of our men and boys were incarcerated was discussed. The principal speaker for the committee from the Business League was L. E. Williams, president of the Ware Earners Savings Bank, with J. H. Butler, who was arrested at the times these big hauls were made by the police, being the chief witness. It developed early in the conference that Mayor Pierpont did not in any respect feel that the police were acting other than right in making the arrests and said that he upheld them in their actions. He also said that he did not wish the impression to get out that there was any desire on the part of the whites to keep the Negroes here who wished to go North and that the arrests complained of were not made on this account. Attorney H. E. Wilson, representing the committee, immediately challenged the statement, saying that every newspaper account referring to the great departure of Negroes to the North and all persons to whom she had spoken on the subject were in direct contradiction to the attitude expressed by the mayor. Alderman Wright, another member of the police committee, also defended the action of the police department. Chief of Police Meldrum who was present, stated that the police department did not seek to take advantage of any particular set of citizens but that it was his policy to render protection to all persons irrespective of color. in reference to the last big asses of Negroes, Leut. Woods said that complaint had been made that the Union depot was crowded with Negro men seeking free, transportation North. When he went, there to investigate the matter he found out that the complaint was made by Assistant Station Master Richards. He then sought Station Master Kraft and ask him if he wanted the men put out and was told no. He then ask Mr. Kraft if any transportation was going to be provided the men, Mr. Kraft replied "he could not tell what might show up." Leut Woods then told Mr. Kraft of the complaint of his assistant. $M_{E_{E}}$ Kraft, it seems, then stated that it would not hurt him if the men were put out, whereupon every Negro man in the station who did not have a ticket was placed under arrest. When asked to tell about the manner of arresting at the station, Leit-Woods then said that the men were sifted out and all who could show were employed were turned loose. It reason for being in the station or who was at this juncture that Alderman Harris asked about the case of J. H. Butler, whether he tried to find out Mr. Butler's mission there. Leit-Wood's reply was very significant, it being that every indication pointed to Butler's being the man getting the men together on account of his connection with the shipping North of students to the tobacco fields early in the summer. Attorney Wilson here defied Leit. Woods to produce one scintilla of evidence which would in any way shape or form connect Butler with the movement of laborers. The Leit-entent was reticent on this matter. Mr. L. E. Williams, speaker for the Business League, then told of the humiliation which the race felt at the arrest last August of Mr. Butler and the 19 students he was directing to work in Connecticut, of the arrest of the hundred odd men in October with Mr. Butler again being apprehended and a case which happened last Tuesday night when twelve men were standing in line at the Union station, buying tickets to Washington, D. C. at which time three were jeered out of line by the police and arrested with no charge at all being entered against them. It developed that two of the men had purchased the tickets and when this fact was, telephoned to the police they immediately turned them loose, holding the third man until about seven o'clock in the morning when they let him go with a warning something like this. "You'd better stay down South where it is warm." The meeting ended with a statement from chairman Schroeder who presided at the meeting. An affidavit from one of the men arrested Tuesday night was also placed before the committee.

These are all the Vogue in Paris and New York EMBROIDERY TRIMMINGS STILL POPULAR New York, Nov. 24. It is within reach of everyone to have one of the smart little sets consisting of capecollar and muff which are considered such good style now. Of course, they can be just as expensive as you like if you are going to have them of some costly pelt; but on the other hand a little ingenuity, a little velvet or plush, and a few bands of fur, and you may have a set as distinctive as any of the Parisian importations. In Paris they are wearing these sets in a variety of charming models, and in New York, too, a walk on the Avenue at the hour when the fashionable women are out reveals numbers and numbers of them, leaving no doubt as to their popularity. One of the many attractive styles is pictured here worn with a one-piece box-pleated dress of serge. They are very often used in this way; for © MCCALL Set of Cape-Collar, Hat and Muff Worn with a Serge Dress Set of Cape-Collar, Hat and Muff Worn with a Serge Dress Instead of wearing a suit, a warm woolen dress of serge, broadcloth or velvet with one of these capes is quite enough protection from the cold. The cape-collar in the skirt, or pelerin as it is sometimes called, fastens at the side instead of in the front as the majority of them do. It is laced with heavy cord or gro-grain ribbon from the high standard collar to the point of the cape. The melon-shaped muff that goes with this collar is one of the most popular models for winter. Of black velvet or plush banded with J. McGarr A Striking Combination of, Plaid with Plain Broadcloth A Striking Combination of Plaid with Plain Broadeloth skunk the set would be decidedly stunning and could be worn with a dress or suit of any color. The vogue of these shoulder capes is so great that there seems to be an endless variety of them. While some of them just cover the shoulders, others reach the waistline, and some go even below it. Hudson seal is one of the favored furs for them, and is often effectively combined with ermine; perhaps a collar or just a band around the neck gives the necessary contrast. Kolinsky, mole and taupe are other fur employed for these charming sets. In a great many instances there will be another addition to these sets in the shape of a hat, generally a tam-o-shanter or a turban. Hats, it is noticed, have not escaped the craze for fur. There are many turbans entirely of fur and numerous hats of other styles on which fur appears as a trimming Fur banding as a trimming on dresses is no less popular than it was last winter. It seems to have a place allotted to it on every dress and appears with equal persistency on the elaborate gown for evening and on the daytime frocks. Plaids for Dresses and Waists Among the new dress materials, plaid silks and plaid woolens are quite prominent. In developing, most frocks the plaid is frequently combined with a plain material matching either the background or the stripe in the plaid, as in the model illustrated here. This dress shows the popular surplice overblouse and loose panel at the front and back of the skirt. The overblouse is finished at the side with a large buckle and the tiny surplice vest of fine Georgette crepe is picot edged. The band of fur on the skirt is placed at the sides only instead of all around, illustrating one of the newest arrangements which is worthy of note. Plaid silks are in demand not only for dresses but for separate waists. The familiar Scotch plaids are very attractive worn with dark suit skirts, and many other charming plaid combinations are to be seen. Silks with Persian and oriental designs are also being used for separate waist. This idea has probably sprung up with the popularity of the Indian shawl, which has been revised and used largely to trim dresses and hats. Silks imitating the designs used in these rare old shawls have been manufactured for this special purpose. So strong is the Indian Influence that the new dress trimmings show these colors and designs in embroidered bandings and motifs. The rich colorings are wonderfully attractive and heighten the beauty of many a dress. Wool and silk floss embroideries in colors continue to be as much of a craze as ever. The metallic embroideries in steel, silver and gold are also being employed freely by the great Parisian designers. Some dresses are worked all over most elaborately while in the plainer dresses for informal wear only a touch of embroidery is necessary to give the proper chic. HARDSTEW IN ARKANSAS Crossett, Ark—We are not posted on what is going on in our country, and the more I see or it the more I am impressed with this one thing, and I must knock along and get as much out of life as I am able to get. I got away from Hot Springs as soon as I could make it convenient to do so, and now I am in this part of the world, but will not remain here all the time, and you must keep this before you, and if, you should desire to send me a letter, send it to 111G Washington boulevard, Kansas City Kansas. Now where have I been and what have, I been doing? is one of the questions before us now. Of course I will not be able to tell you all. I had a delightful time in Hot Springs with all them Baptists who as-enabled there in the state convention presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., who is also president of the National Baptist Convention. I met some able men in this meeting—men I shall never forget. For instance, I walked and talked with Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, and one of the leading educators of this country. Dr. Booker has been in the work for some time. I talked with the educator, and he told me about all things that were going on right there in the city of Hot Springs. Them men did put down their money for the educational work. Well, I had a lot of baggage, and one of the deacons of the Baptist church told me that he was going to come after me to tote me to the train Sunday morning if he lived and nothing happened. He did not come, so I just called up Undertaker J. T. T. Warren and told him to go after him, and take along the dead wagon, for I believe in my soul that deacon was dead. I am proud that I had the pleasure of visiting that place. I went to the Pythian bath house. This institution is managed by J. T. T. Warren, who is a big Pythian himself and a big man in every particular. He spoke in words of praise of the good work going on right there in Hot Springs. I want to congratulate the Supreme Lodge on doing this for the health of humanity. Mr. Warren is a business man. West, I got out of Hot Springs, and found my way down to Pine Bluff. Prof. J. G. Ish, Jr., superintendent of the Branch Normal College was right there to get me, and toted me to the First Baptist Church where I found the people already there waiting for me to preach to them. The First Baptist Church of Pine Bluff is one of the churches in town out of debt. They don't owe any one, and were prepared to have me speak to them. I unloaded one of my speeches, and they gave me some money. In the afternoon I spoke to men only at Grace Baptist church, and at night at the Eighth Street Baptist church, and this finished the day. Monday I, went over to Branch Normal College. For a long time Prof. J. C. Corbin, was the principal, and a white man was superintendent. The white man forgot himself and purchased some silk stockings and sent to one of the student girls, and when she got them, she just sent them home to her father and that father returned them to the white man's wife. The students demanded his discharge, but after investigation, he was retained and the students all left the school, and remained out until they had to get rid of the white man. Now they looked around and found this well trained young man, and put him in charge, and believe me that school jumped from where it was, for at the best they had only about 160 students, and they have now over 300 and still they are knocking at the door. It is outgrowing itself, and all because there is at the head a man. The state is going to make some improvements next year, perhaps move the school to larger quarters and erect more buildings. It is to take its place with the leading state institutions of the country. They are doing excellent work there. Perhaps you would like to know all the teachers, and I will just tell you the others. Prof. F. T. Vinegar, principal; C. P. McLarren, science; S. J. Althelmer, history; A. R. Reeves, mathematics; Isaac Hathaway, ceramics; D. E. Johnson, English and music; Trene C. Ross, English and geography; Ernestine I. Copeland, English normal school; Dora W. Adair, head of department of home economics; Aller Lewis, sewing and millinery; Julia S. Kinner, matron and sewing; W. P. Koon, auto repairing and blacksmithing; T. W. Cobbs, carpentry; R. Temple, agriculture; N. A. Murray, agriculture and gardening. I do not need to tell you that I put much in the department where Mrs. Adair was as there was something to eat there. I don't know as I have ever seen a woman who knew so much about cooking. Her department is practical and the girls when they finish from hier are prepared to do anything about a house and then know how to save and make ends meet. Wonderful age. I was delighted to have spent this time. There was T. W. Cobbs, who is from Hampton Institute, in Virginia, and he is one of the best young men who have been turned out from the school. He takes his place among the business men of the age, and now he is preparing other young men to go where he is today, and be able to do what he is doing today. Wonderful young man. I spent much of my time with Prof. Ish and his work. He was glad to have me study what was going on there. When I came to things I did not understand, I just looked wise and said nothing. For instance, I could not to save me tell what that was Prof. J. N. Hathaway was doing, for I never heard of ceramics. He makes heads, plates and everything else to be made. He is an expert in his work. It was indeed a pleasure to see him. I will not mention others just now, but will have to leave this. You see where I am, and I will have to put off talking about this place until my next letter. BOY CADET ENCAMPMENT National A. F. Cadets of The Sunday Congress Forces Coming Nashville, Teen.—"Teaching the boys military discipline under religious influence is one of the mighty forces and factors that is helping us to build substantially for the future in our religious life" declared Gen. W. H. Crawford, of Austin, Tex., at the meeting of the Sunday School Congress at Vicksburg, last June in making his annual address before the Sunday school on the boy problem. Gen. Crawford, in company with Lieut. Gen. Harry Lott, will spend a month in Nashville prior to the meeting of the twelfth annual session of the Congress, instructing the local companies that are to be recruited each to their full strength, one in each church, which are to constitute a mammoth boy cadet encampment that is already planned to be carried on at Green Park, which is located on one of the city street railway lines. It is understood from the secretary of the Congress that arrangements have already been made whereby Lieut. Gen. Lott, will precede Gen. Crawford and get the camp in readiness to begin the dis- ciplining of twenty-five boy cadet companies that are being mustered up in Tennessee's metropolis. There are to be an average of twenty-four boys in each company. A conservative estimate places the figures at at least six hundred boys. This is to be augmented by quite a few companies from Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. It will be, if present indications count for anything, the largest national encampment of the Boy Cadets ever held in the United States. The first was held about three years ago at Beaumont, when at one of the meetings a veritable revival broke out and more than twenty-six converts were had at one time. A new Testament and drinking cup are two of the weapons used by the cadet corps, even on their longest hikes. Nashville is adjusting itself already for the organization of a Boy Cadet band that is to be kept in constant practice and be ready for the coming meeting in June. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS TO MEET IN NASHVILLE June 13th and 18th Dates Selected for B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School To Hold Sessions Nashville, Tenn.—Yielding to the pressue brought to bear in the strong invitation that was joined in by twenty of the leading churches of Nashville, the board in session here has awarded the twelfth annual session of the Sunday School Congress to Nashville, fixing the date from June 13th to 18th. The invitation was presented to the board in session by the leading pastors of the city. After much deliberation, during which time consideration was given to invitations from such cities as Lexington and Louisville, Ky., Chicago, Ill., Atlantic City, N. J., New Orleans and Shreveport, La., and St. Louis, Mo. The exact dates of the meeting as given out by Secretary Henry A. Boyd, will embrace the second Sunday in June, which is National, Children's Day. It was not learned until today that the invitation presented by Nashville was being worked up for more than a year, and the solid front of the Baptist churches that have been active in the Congress movement from this city was presented at the meeting of the board when the selection was made. It is understood further from Chqirman C. H. Clark, who has presided over the annual sessions since the Congress was first launched, and from R. H. Boyd, the founder and director of the Congress movement, that every department this year would receive special attention. "The bringing of the Congress to Nashville means that the Sunday school forces, the Baptist Young People's Union organizations, the Boy Cadet Movement, the Metoka and Galeda classes, with the superintendents' and missionary departments will bring to this city the greatest army of young people and Sunday school workers that has ever assembled in any city in the United States under the auspices of any denomination. There seems to have been a unanimous demand made from every quarter of the country to settle on Nashville, notwithstanding the various invitations that were sent in, the people from Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, the Carolinas and even from the far east were anxious that the Congress be held in this city, which is the home of the largest religious publishing house in the world, owned, operated and controlled by Negroes," declared Henry A. Boyd, the Secretary of the Sunday School Movement, whose father is the founder of the institution, and who himself has served as secretary of the congress since its very beginning. The local Sunday schools and B. Y. P. U's are to begin at once on the election of delegates and messengers to represent them.

Its ritual is unchangeable, but in its work of charity and benevolence, it is abreast of the times. * * * It is—the duty of every Mason to bring credit upon the order. Thus will Masonry's mission be gloriously fulfilled. Let us be our brother's keeper—keeping him from the paths of immorality and sin If your obligation makes you a Mason, then you should ever be true to that obligation. --- This beautiful thought is inscribed in the first great light of Mohammedan Masonle Lodges—the Koran: "Angels in the grave will not question thee as to the amount of wealth thou hast left behind thee, but what good thou hast done in the world, to entitle thee to a seat among the Blessed. * * * We are willing to believe that the world grows better, that man is becoming more and more appreciative of the means placed at his disposal by a kind Providence for the promotion of his welfare and happiness, and that true Masonry as an acknowledged means to, that end is shining with an ever purer and steadier light.—Seleted. * * * Our Masonry, to be worth anything to ourselves and to others, must be of that kind which bears fruit. We shall have learned this great lesson to no purpose unless we put tit into practical operation in everyday life. We must live in all that we do, and by so doing we will demonstrate to others its good effects by the transformation it has wrought in our lives—Triangle. * * * We should have a correct standard of judging our brothers, and then it should not be done so quickly. In no case should prejudice play any part in our decisions. We cannot see into the interior of a man's soul. Some time the most rugged face hides a soul of sympathy, sunshine, honesty and good will. We should look below the surface, if we would search a man's heart, therein lies the real man. It is our duty to give him the benefit of the doubt, and at all times be cautious. We should foster concord, and not discord. We should strive to create harmony where ill feelings exist. It is our duty and we should live up to it. * * * The Masonle Standard . very, aptly says that Freema-onry has a better name for the assistance which is often associated in the mind with alms-giving and pauperism. The word which is used is "relief". It accurately expresses the nature of the benefits conferred. There can be no "charity" in a family ruled by affection, and where all have a common Interest. A brother who is unable to help himself is entitled to the help of the brethren, to the extent of the necessities and their ability to assist. This right is not based on any system of percentages, is not founded on payment made. The brother in good standing who has paid only one year's dues, or no dues at all, has the same right to relief as the veteran who has paid dues continuously for a score of years or more. The fact that he is a Mason and requires help is all that need be known. Purity of Character Over the beauty of the plum, and apricot there grows a bloom and beauty more exquisite than the fruit itself—a soft, delicate flush overspreads its blushing cheek. Now, if you strike your hand over that, it is gone forever; for it never grows but once. The flower that hangs in the morning impeared by dew, arrayed with jewels—once shake it that the beads roll off and you may sprinkle water over it as you please, yet it can never be made again what it was when the dew fell lightly from the heaven! On a frosty morning you may see the panes of glass covered with land scapes, mountains, lakes and trees, blended with a beautiful, fantastic picture. Now lay your hand upon the glass, and by the warmth of the palm, all of the delicate tracery will be obliterated. So there is in youth a beauty and purity of character which, when once touched and defiled, can never be restored— a fringe more delicate than frost work, and when torn and broken, will never he re-embroidered. When a young man leaves his father's house, with blessings of his mother's tears still fresh upon his forehead, if he once loses that early purity of character, it is a loss that he can never, make whole again. Such is the consequence of crime. Its effects cannot be eradicated; it can only be forgiven.— Queensland Freemason. Once a Mason Always a Mason Though the above aphorism has al- ways been accepted in connection with Freemasonry, there is a much literal truth in it as in the average fairy tale. Still, it has abundantly served a purpose in the past, if not a good one. It has poured the balm of consolation into the conscience of the renegade—if he has one—it has been a proud device on the unattached, and by this we mean the large number whose special article of faith in being unattached is to do no Masonic work and contribute nothing directly or indirectly to the maintenance of the institution. To the whilom Freemason who, during the greater part of his life has been oblivious of the existence of the craft, and suddenly falls on evil days, to remember the axiom of "once a Freemason always a Freemason," is palm indeed, especially also when he will not forget that charity is one of the cardinal principals of the institution. If the conference of certain cermonies is sufficient to indubitably impress the hall mark of Freemasonry on all and sundry for all time, then we have greatly erred in our estimate of the institution and its potentialities, and such reasoning places the good and true brother, who devotes his life time to the service of the craft, on an equal footing with him who has been foiled on to the institution through the ignorance of his proposers, combined with self-interested motives of either curiosity or piddity, and who, having gratified the one, has been disappointed, and found the other unsatisfying. How great is the number of persons who are scarcely seen in a lodge room after their full admission, and yet under the present tacit consent of the craft they can mouth to the world that "once a Freemason always a Freemason?" Having utterly failed to appreciate any of the purposes of the institution, declined to assist in its work or maintenance, and violated their obligation of fealty, they have abrogated the right to the term of Freemason. It has been said that "man has certain duties to perform, so sacred that in failing to perform them he becomes unworthy of the appreciation of others." How much more is this the case in such an institution as Freemasonry, where the tie that binds is not one of self-interest, but is distinctly humanitarian and philanthropical. There are numbers of brethren who are honestly unattached to whom the foregoing remarks are not applicable, and who would scorn to take any advantage of the cant cry. But the Masonic waster mouths it on every possible occasion, and especially if it contributes anything in the way of financial assistance. We have it on the highest authority that "by their works shall men be known." And a Freemason can only be known in like manner. The utmost the waster can claim is that he was honored in receiving the Masonic rites of admission, since which he has become renegade. It is a duty which devolves on members of the craft to at all times discredit the indiscriminate use of the anomalous parrot-cry: "Once a Freemason always a Freemason."—The N. Z. Craftsman. INTERESTING HAPPENINGS AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Atlanta, Ga., December 1st—The University has had this week a visit from Hon. James W. Johnson, a graduate of A. U., in the class of 1894. There is probably no colored man in the country with a greater variety of talents than Mr. Johnson. He is a lawyer, a poet, an author, a musician, an editor and withal a man with such hard common sense as will seldom be met in a long day's journey. His talk to the students at chapel was very helpful. He has made an extensive trip through the South interviewing all the editors of the largest southern papers with most encouraging results, Mme Anita Patti Brown was a most welcome visitor at chapel. She sang to the students, much to their delight. A great many heard her for the first time and heard her with still more pleasure at her great concert. Despite the large-number of parties, dances, etc., in the city the jollification of the A. U. Men's Club was successful, far beyond expectations. The marching, singing, merriment, speaking and enthusiasm were evidences of the good comradeship the club is building up for the good of Atlanta University. The initial movements toward the endowment fund have been made with very encouraging results. The friends of the University in the city of Atlanta-raised a fund of five thousand dollars, and some substantial gifts, which will be announced later, have already been made. There is no doubt that hundreds of colored people love Atlanta University even though they may never have attended it as students, and they will consider it a privilege to help to give to the University at this time. Charity Hospital has done and is doing a great. work for our people. Help her.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mall Saturday December 9th, 1916 It is to be hoped that the first of January will be observed here by all of us in a manner which will be appropriate to the special significance of this day to us. It has not always been so observed and it is for this reason that we speak so early about, this matter. There was a time when this was the biggest day in the year with us, a day when we all made merry together and joinel in that sort of celebration of which every one of us felt proud, but this cannot be said of our First of January celebrations within the past few years. It is true we have made some attempt to observe the day, yet they have, in the main, beenrought with rather feeble results and the showing of the forty-old thousands of us on the day which we celebrate as the anniversary of freedom from slavery has been poor. There is a sufficient number of us here to make the First of January celebration one great, big, mammoth affair. All that is needed is that we go at the affair in the proper spirit and try to interest in it as many people as possible. It is the people's celebration, and as such, should be participated in by us all. Every society, in fact, every organization among us should, take part in one great big celebration which will be of credit to us as a people. The day should not be allowed to pass with such piecemeal celebrations as we have engaged in on several emancipation days, but we should all get together and honor the day as it should be, with a celebration of the whole people in a whole hearted, whole-spirited manner. The more light which is thrown upon the recent wholesale arrests made of our people by the police, the more strongly does the whole affair show the open campaign of intimidation which is being practiced by the police upon us because certain ones of us wish to go North. We had hoped that with the last big arrest in November, when over one hundred men were imprisoned for being in the Union station and turned loose the next morning with a reprimand of the police force by the recorder, this sort of injustice by the police would cease, but the arrest and incarceration Tuesday night of three men who were in line at the ticket office in the Union station, two having purchased tickets to Washington, D. C., the third in the act of getting his, shows that the police department is still persisting in trying to stop our people from going North, regardless as to what steps they take. This last instance emphasizes how little the officers of the department think of cases of this nature for they did not even bring the matter up in police court the next morning, but allowed the men to go without even a hearing, showing plainly that the arrests were made simply as a matter of intimidation. If the police authorities think that such injust treatment as this is going to put a halt on the migration of our people to the North they are mistaken. These recent actions, instead of proving a bar to their going away have impelled mundreds to go who had not thought about doing so. The intimidating method of the police department which Mayor Pierpont and certain other leading members of the city administration defend when it comes to dealing with our people, may prevail here for some time to come, but they are not going to stop the steady flow of valuable Negro labor which is going. North. Should such injust treatment to our people be persisted in by the police department, the migration of Negro labor to the North which has already taken place, will be but slight to that which is to come.

We Must Know Our Business OUR MISTAKES ARE MAGNIFIED BY OTHERS In fighting prejudices on the one hand without, and fighting fears, slobbs and mistrust on the other hand within, the Negro men and women, engaged in business, are facing perilous difficulties, with which they must know how to deal. There is but one way for an individual to test his or her strength, whether it be physical or mental, and that is, he or she must meet and face difficulties unflaggingly, full of zeal, energy and determination, contesting for every inch of ground, in an honest competitive way. He, who stands around and tells hard luck stories about the people all leaving for the North or that the "Dutchman" on the corner is getting all the business he thinks he ought to have, and a thousand and one other such puerile stories, is getting exactly what he has made himself fit to receive. Cowards and "Doubting Thomases" have always made the impossibilities which they fear and which at times overwhelm them. But every honest up-right, determined business man, whether he be black or white, welcomes, in a whole hearted way, legitimate and honest competition. Let us, as Negro business men and women strive to know as much about it as any other man, be he white or black. Let us realize just what we are contributing to the race, in the matter of tangible assets, when we have demonstrated to the other fellow that we know the business in which we are engaged. No one man is supposed to know it all, nor is it reasonably supposed that any one man should know all about ten or a dozen things, but it is a fact, that much is expected of us as a race, and especially is this true respecting those of us who may happen to be engaged in some particular line of business. Every error, shortcoming, or mistake of any nature, is magnified to its limit, and not only the individual who may happen to have made the error or mistake, is held up to public ridicule, and denounced as a blockhead, who does not know his business, but, the whole race as well, is criticised and the world is told in the public prints, in box-car letter-head lines, that "Negroes after more than fifty years of freedom, are not prepared to do business in this twentfeth century commercial age." It is up to us, as Negro business factors, in what ever communities we may live, to prove to the world, that while we do not know all about every thing, and may fall to know a good many simple things for which they are no reasonable excuses which we may offer for not knowing, yet les us prove to them unmistakably that we certainly know a few things about the jobs which gives to us our daily bread. Yes, we should know and know that we know. Our lamented chieftain, the late Booker T. Washington, said at the National Negro Business League, held in the city of Muskogee, Okla., on 1014: "We have done it and we are not afraid to tell it." No cowardice nor cringing in that statement. Nothing but racial inspiration and Christian manhood could evoke such words as those uttered by Dr. Washington, and especially is this true, when he so fully realized that the eyer of the civilized world were turned upon him in every move he made and their ears were opened to catch every word which fell from his lips, and yet, Dr. Washington said We have done it and we are not afraid to tell it". As business men of the race let us do it now. Come early to your next meeting. Friday evening, Dec 15 and bring a friend with you. 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 the 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 36th and Harden streets. Remember Charity Hospital during this Christmas season. FISK UNIV. AND URBAN LEAGUE TURN OUT TRAINED WORKER Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 22—Miss Rosalie I. Singleton, who has just taken up community work in connection with Straight College and the co-operation of three Congregational churches of New Orleans, (Central, Howard and Beecher) has been well trained for her work and has had considerable experience. Entering school late, before she reached the fourth grade in a private school of Mobile, Ala., she was compelled to discontinue her education because of lack of funds. After an interval of three years, she entered Emerson Institute and worked her way through, completing her high school education in 1911. Because of her ambition for a college education, by the help of friends, she was able to enter Talladega College as an aided student. At Talladega, during her senior year, after she had looked up some-poor children at Christmas time, she gave up the idea of becoming a secretary of the X. W. C. and decided to fit herself for social service. In order to carry out her plans, she thought of teaching several years that she might get the money to receive social service training. About this time, Miss Singleton learned of the fellowships for training social workers, offered at Fisk University by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. He application was accepted on account of her previous record, her qualities of character, her earnestness of purpose. She, therefore, spent a year in social service training at, Nashville, southern headquarters of the National League. While at Fisk the work at the Bethlehem House, the settlement operated jointly by the Woman's Missionary Council, M. E. church, South and Fisk University, and the courses in Social Science at the university, gave her the training which she is beginning to put into practice now. At the Bethlehem House, she learned to organize and conduct clubs and classes of various kinds. She did friendly visits into homes of the people and received much valuable experience as a relief worker in the great East Nashville-fire of last March. Miss Singleton is beginning to use all of that experience in her work in New Orleans. She is cooperating with Straight College and the churches of the city; she is endeavoring to make the life of the community better by organizing clubs among both old and young, conducting cooking and sewing classes, by promoting clean wholesome play and recreation among the children and young people. FOOTBALL RESULTS AMONG LEADING NEGRO COLLEGES Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 30.—The football team representing Biddle University closed a most successful season by defeating Livingston College at Salisbury, N. C., today by the score of 21-0.

Biddle is conceded the championship of North and South Carolina and holds jointly with Morehouse the Southern championship.

C., Nov. 30—For two consecutive years Howard University's squad has gone down to defeat at the hands of Hampton's speedy machine. Howard has not sent a man over Hampton's goal with the pigskin since 1914. The defeat that was administered to Howard today gives Hampton the claim to the championship of the eastern title of 1916. Hampton's machine arrived at Howard on Wednesday evening. In a light fall of rain that continued throughout the night. Every man on the squad was in good spirits and confident that Howard would go down in defeat. The final score was Hampton 12. Howard 3. The sun came up on Thursday morning and partly dried up the water-soaked gridiron. The wet field was a great disadvantage to the light Hampton backfield-men who depended mainly upon dodging their opponents: Union Defeats Lincoln Richmond, Va.. Nov. 30.—Union fitfully completed the most brilliant season of her football career by swamping Lincoln under by a 15-0 defeat here Thanksgiving day. The contest was one of the toughest ever witnessed in Harvey. Park and was replete with thrills. Lincoln's grim determination to emerge victorious was evidenced in every charge. His defeat was not due to a poor team or to non-versatile playing, but of the fact that the Red and Steel machine outplayed her in every charge. Her defeat was not final score being Union 15.

Text of the Lesson, Rev. ii, 1-17.—Memory Verse, 7—Golden Text, Rev. ii, 10. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Although three of the seven epistles are included in this lesson, we must try to consider somewhat the whole seven, for they are the last messages from the risen and ascended Saviour to His church on earth, perhaps some sixty years, as we count time, after He ascended, and contain His heart messages concerning that which He approves or disapproves. These seven churches represented all the churches of that time and now and between then and now, and as individual believers we must lay to heart the lessons, the warnings, admonitions and encouragements for our personal use in our daily life. I have found it helpful, and many others also, to write down these love letters in, seven parallel, vertical columns on a large sheet of paper, placing opposite to each, horizontally, like matter in each epistle, beginning each column with the greeting to the church; then His titles, which are different in each; at the foot of each column the promise to the overcomer, which is also different in each, and then the admonition, "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches," which in the first three comes before the overcoming promise and in the last four follows it. The words of comfort and encouragement and warning and admonition come in between these first two and last two items. Let us pray to know Him more intimately as He reveals Himself to each church according to their need. He holdeth the messengers to each church in His right hand and walks in the midst of the churches (chapters i, 13, 20; ii, 1). This helps me personally, for I am glad to be in His hand and for His pleasure, and I am always reminding my own people and the Bible classes that He is in our midst, according to Matthew, 20, and we must sing and pray and meditate and worship with an offering, as if we really saw Him in our midst. To Smyrna He was the first and last, who was dead, but now alive (chapters 1, 17, 18; 11, 8). This was what they specially needed, for they were being persecuted unto death (ill, 10), and their overcoming promise was that the second death, which is the lake of fire, would never touch them (ill, 11; xx, 14). To Pergamos He was the one who had the sharp sword with two edges (l, 10; ill, 12), and because of evil teachers, tolerated there this was as they needed to know Him. He encouraged the Ephesians to think of the tree of life in paradise, and He would have these to eat real manna now, true bread from heaven, and think of the hidden manna, the white stone, and the new name reserved for them (ill, 7, 17). To Thyatira He was the Son of God, with eyes like unto a name of fire, and His feet like fine brass (i. 14, 15: i1, 18). They too, had false teachers, and much of the world, and knew, something of the depths of Satan, but their encouragement to be overcomers was most wonderful and unthinkable if He had not said it—power over the nations, such as the Father, had given Him, and Himself as the morning star (i1, 26-28; Ps. ii. 8, 9; cxlix, 6-9; Rev. xxil, 16). What glorious things to win us wholly to Himself during this little while of temptation! To Sardis He was the one who had the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars (i. 4, 16; i1, 1). for they had dead ones there who had only a name to live and needed the quickening of the Spirit. Their promise was that of white ralentments in the book of life and confessed before God and the angels if they should prove themselves overcomers (i1, 5). To Philadelphia He was the Holy and True One, having the key of David, opening and shutting at pleasure, and the encouragement to overcome was that of being a pillar in the temple of God, with the name of God, and the city of God, the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, and His own new-name (lil. 7, 12). There is a special promise here concerning being kept from the hour of temptation which shall try all that dwell on the earth (lil. 10), which may include our being taken away before the great tribulation. That we shall be taken before that awful time is sure. To Laodicea He was the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, and to this worst phase of church life, or lack of life, the promise to the overcomer was the greatest of all, to sit with Him in His throne (lil. 14, 21). It looks as if the greater the need and the lower their condition the greater was His desire to lift them out of it. Only in this, epilate do we find Him asking for an open door to our hearts that He may enter in and sup with us (lil. 20). He and the devil are both looking for open doors (John xlil. 2, 27). Whom will you have? Notice is the Golden Text that there is no mention of eternal life which cannot in any way be worked for, or earned, or bought, but can only be obtained as a free gift (Rom. vl. 23). But the crown of life there mentioned is a special reward for all saved ones who patiently endure. See also Jas. 1, 12. These are the only two places. DR. PATRICK'S FAMOUS DR.

A neat little sun was realized and the public is thanked for the patronage given. Miss Katie Blake was hostess to a few of her friends and the senior class of St. Athanasius school, of which she is a member, on Thanksgiving day. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing progressive whilst and other amusements. The menu was richly prepared consisting of salad, ice cream and cake. All the pastors of the Methodist churches have been retained in the city for another year with the exception of Rev. M. A. Davis of the C. M. E. church whose conference has not yet met. It is hoped that he will remain also. The Thanksgiving services at Risley school were exceptionally good. The teachers, Miss Madaline Worthy and Miss Theresa Farrior of the primary grades, deserve much credit for the excellent showing made by the pupils of their department. Mr. Mac McIntosh, an old citizen of Brunswick, passed away on last Thursday at his home on L street. Mr. McIntosh is survived by a wife and children. Funeral arrangements have not been perfected at this writing, pending the arrival of his daughter from New York. Mr. Claud Miller was instantly killed by some one last Saturday night. Mr. Miller just buried his aged mother Mrs. Ellen. Reid about three weeks ago. Mr. Miller is from a well-known family of Brunswick and the tragedy is a shock to the community. The assassian has been caught. An enjoyable repast was given Miss Viola Wilson last Thursday night by Mrs. Mamie Pierce and Mrs. Emma Griswald. The affair was a surprise to Miss Wilson and was given as a token of appreciation of her return from the North after a two years' stay. The wedding bells rang last Wednesday night and brought together the friends of Miss Emma Council and Mr. o. W. Wheeler to witness their betrothal. Miss Council is the glaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Council, two of Brunswick's well-known citizens. Mr. Wheeler is the progressive insurance agent of the Georgia Mutual Insurance company and popular is society and church work. Three ministers were present while Rev. E. J. Rozell performed the ceremony. All the churches of the city observed Thanksgiving day, but the congregations were very small. Rev. J. K. Davis passed through the city last week en route to his new field, Smithville, Ga. The Tribune representative, E. W. Johnson, is asking the patrons of the city of The Tribune to square up ere the new year comes in. We are expecting to extend the circulation to new fields and if you desire, to be with the new subscribers, pay up.
