VOLUME XXXII NEGRO BANKS AID XMAS BUYERS NEARLY 2,400 PERSONS IN CHRIST MAS CLUBS $20,117 Paid Out Banks Beseiged During Past Three Days by Members of Clubs With nearly 2,400 persons, to be exact 2,300, presenting their checks for Christmas money at the windows of the three Negro banks of the city, during the past three days, unusually animated scenes have been presented on West Broad street where these banks are situated. Newsboys on their way to work have beseiged the tellers with the pretty little Christmas checks issued by the banks and received the reward of saving a little each week for the past twelve months. Mothers with babies clinging to their arms also presented themselves at the banks to draw from their accumulations of the past fifty weeks and fathers, smiling all over themselves, impregnated with the thought of being well fortified for the expensive, though happy gift season were there to draw their amounts which they had placed there during the year. In all there have been $20,117 issued to the Christmas club members this year by the Negro banks of the city. Of this amount the Wage Earners Savings Bank gave out $14,000, the Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation, $5,014 and the Mechanics Savings Bank $1,000. Persons to the number of 1,330 took out memberships in the Christmas clubs of the Wage Earners Savings Bank while 900 members were enrolled in the clubs of the Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation, and 133 took part in the clubs of the Mechanics bank. The clubs ranged from 5 cents to one dollar per week. In one of the banks the largest number of members was enrolled in the clubs of the smallest denomination white in another the largest number of depositors was found in the 25 cents class. These three banks have all decided to again conduct this novel scheme of teaching the people to sate and are already advertising their clubs for next year. The memberships in the clubs this year far surpass those of last year with indications pointing to 1917 as being the largest year yet for the Christmas saving idea. Aslde from the $20,000 paid out by the Negro banks, a fair proportion of the Christmas money paid out by the white banks of the city went to Negro depositors. Information as to the method of conducting the Christmas clubs may be had at any one of the three Negro banks whose 1917 clubs begin Christmas week. The amounts paid out by these banks are shown by the following: tate Corporation..... 5,017 Mechanics Savings Bank..... 1,000 Total..... $20,017 ST.

Respectfully, URBAN LEAGUE URBAN LEAGUE PUBLIC MEETING INSPIRING Rev..Wing Makes Stirring Address /Social Service The annual public meeting of the Urban League was held last Sunday at the Pekin Theatre. There were in the neighborhood of six hundred persons present and the meeting was one of the most inspiring ever held. The principal speaker of the afternoon was the Rev. John D. Wing, rector of Christ Church, who discussed in a most stirring address "The larger, scope of Social Service". Rev. Wing is one of the most pleasing speakers who has addressed a colored audience here for some time, and his sympathetic tone and whole-hearted manner completely captivated his hearers. The various phases of the work of the league were touched upon very impressively by the other speakers in short talks, and the music rendered was much appreciated by the large audience After the set program the officers of the league took occasion to place the league's Christmas campaign again before the public and many small donations were received as were also several new memberships. The management of the Pekin theatre was publicly thanked by the league for the free use of this beautiful playhouse. NEWS'OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. G. Dec. 13—Far and away the most unique and enjoyable of the season was that given on Thanksgiving eve by the celebrated "Stove League" of Boosters and Knockers corporation, at the home of Mr. Herbert Carter. It was a "croaker" from the call of "play ball" until the last man was out in the "ninth" which might have been somewhere near the "wee sma hours" of Thanksgiving morn. The table was a "diamonddream" and Manager Carter, from the bench, directed as toothsome a feed as ever a baseball fan "drove home" to his innards since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. The participants numbering about two-score were in the game every minute and all figured in the tallies that went over the plate. There some pretty "pickups at first" some clever stolen bases on the "chicken a la pennant" (according to the menu card) and the "sauterne no winner" made some timely "assists" at third. "Ham ze double-hender" was hit for pulral bases often, and a number of thrilling "squeeze plays" were made through sharp fielding and stone-wall team work at critical stages of the game. Triple and Tom Moore "ze fade-away" cocktails "de nationals" beer, "na la 300", coffee a la de home rutil, and cigars "ze strike out" all served as first aid to the injured. Though several of the players were "booned" in their turn at bat, no one was carried to the "dog-out" and the world series—the first "annual" of the "Stove League" was called on account of expiration of time limit with the score "even all" between the "Boosters and knockers." Mr. W. H. C. Brown, the banker and racerent de luxe, was in the box as toastmaster and as the chief of "Knockers," put over some fancy twists the ability of the eagle-eyed and iron-handed Lleut. E. R. Gnither to stop, in his capacity as principal for the "Boosters." A delightful feature of the evening was a visit in person from Manager Clark Griffith, of the Washington baseball club, who was accompanied by Third Baseman Eddie Foster and Pitcher Jim Shaw, a trio of favorites. Manager Griffith expressed himself as particularly pleased with the fidelity with which the booster and knockers had attended the game and promised for next year a team that would be in the first division. A second notable feature of the affair was the coming of a delegation from the Quality Amusement Company. After warming up with the goods at hand, this group of players entertained the club with music. . . . Washington Memorial Headquarters The Hooker T. Washington Memorial Committee is pushing its final "drive" for the $1,000 donation of the District of Columbia is to make to the fund for the perpetuation of Tuskegee Institute.

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,1917, 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.

Several of the members and officers have been hard at work. One of the pleasing features is the voluntary responses by those who sent in their donations. Other friends who desire to make donations and who are not reached by the committee, are urged to do likewise, or else phone for some one to call. Not only money, but articles of clothing or groceries will be accepted. The decorating committee of the Community Tree met last Tuesday. Another meeting will be held next Tuesday afternoon.

Youngblood, it is said, had been at Camp No. 3 but two days when the first whipping was given him, the cause being his disinclination to work After this whipping, it is said that he was whipped several times a day up to and including the day that he died, Wednesday. The dead man's mother has received an anonymous letter from one of the convicts, telling of the severe whippings which Youngblood received and stating that his death was attributed to the punishment administered by Warden McCreary, and that he was knocked into the Cause canal instead of voluntarily jumping in as was stated in the daily papers. There are about seventy men at camp No. 3 and on the morning after the death of Youngblood all of them with about six exceptions, refused to work under Warden McCreary. The refusal of the mep to work under McCreary caused a little excitement at the camp, but the disturbance was short lived, the men going to work a few hours afterwards. The death of Youngblood was being probed yesterday by the coroner's jury at Monroe's Undertaking establishment. The finding of the jury was incomplete at 9 p. m. At the night session of the jury the statement given by the guards in charge of Youngblood was much at variance to that given by Warden McRen and two prisoners who were brought into the trial. A laundry driver, passing Henry street, said at the trial that he had witnessed the last whipping received by Youngblood and said - he saw about twelve lashes administered. Youngblood died in a short time after this last whipping. The body of the dead man showed unmistakable evidence of the severe whipping he received. NEWS FROM BEAUFORT, S. C. Dr. J. M.

The reception was indeed one of the real social events of the season. The home was beautifully decorated with potted plants and other flowers of the season. Music was furnished by Prof. Bryant's noted orchestra. The friends and guests were gathered here and there under the rays of a beautiful moonlight evening, the scene being in itself a true picture of real life. A delightful repast was served --- Yuletide is very near at hand. At this season of the year we all should do our best to try and make the hearts of others glad and happy.

MUST PAY SUBSCRIPTION Just as Valid as Grocery Bill in Any State in the Union Recently the publisher of the Huron State Spirit sued a subscriber who refused to pay for the paper, and secured a judgment for the back subscription amounting to $8. Cost were added and the subscriber had to pay these too. It was a test case. There are no federal post office rulings which exempt a man from the payment of any amount of back subscription to a newspaper. A subscription debt is as valid as a grocery bill and is collectable under the state law—Brooklyn Register. REV. R. H. SINGLETON WARNILY RECEIVED IN ATLANTA Rev. R. H./Singleton, D.

Dr. Singleton was driven to the pastor's office in the church from the station where impromptu talks were made by those present, assuring him a hearty welcome to the city and pledging their co-operation with him for the success of his work in this church. At class meeting he was introduced to the members by the presiding elder amid much enthusiasm and in his characteristic style Dr. Canady turned the church over to the pastor. Dr. L. A. Townsley, P. E., South Atlanta district, was present and welcomed the pastor to Atlanta in a masterly talk.—Atlanta Post. MEN'S CLUB SMOKER On Wednesday evening of this week the Men's Club of St Stephen's church held its annual smoker at the residence of Mr. H. M. Reed, 510 Henry street, east. The feminine touch which is absolutely necessary for the success of any like undertaking was supplied by Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Campfield, who prepared a very delightful repast, the excellence of which was greatly appreciated by the members, as shown by their actions. After satisfying the inner man the members were treated to a very pleasing program. The program committee showed that it hadn't been idle by the novel stunts and amusing situations that they pulled off. To. Mr. L. M. Campfield belongs the bulk of the credit for the entertainment, for it was in his fertile brains that the numerous ideas were conceived. Mr. Earl Ashton in the roll of master of ceremonies acquitted himself nobly. The few of its members who were absent have cause for great regret as the evening was most enjoyably spent, and will linger long in the memory of those who were present. HOPE CREST LOTS TO BE CLEAN UP FRIDAY On Next Friday, December 22, the remaining lots in Hope Crest, the beautiful new subdivision near Isle of Hope which G. H. Bowen placed on the market this week, will be disposed of in a big sale of lots on the grounds. Mr. Bowen has made provision for free transportation to all who will go out to this ideal resort. Cars will leave the Union station at 10 a.m. and Crest ranges from $125 up with leftrins of payment by $5 down and $5 per month. NUMBER 15 MINIS ST. PROPER TY CHANGES HAND SOLD TO SAVANNAH HOME ASSO. THROUGH G. H. BOWEN $10,000 To Be Spent Final Details Closed, Tuesday—To Erect Brick Club House As was forecast in The Tribune two weeks ago, the Savannah Home Association, one of the foremost civic organizations of the city, has purchased a piece of property on the north side of Minn's street, just one door west of W. Broad and extending to George street. The purchase-price as understood was $3,000. On the site now stands three small frame houses. For some time this organization has had a committee out looking for a desirable spot on which to erect a club house, and securing an option on the above mentioned place, they proceeded to clutch the bargain forth-with. Mr. G. H. Bowen, the popular real estate dealer who was the agent for the property, handled the transaction and all final arrangements for the transferring of it were completed on last Tuesday afternoon. The association was represented by its president, Edward H. Burke and the secretary, James F. Butler. The deed was filed with the clerk of the Superior court on Wednesday morning. The purchasing of this piece of real estate marks another progressive move among Negroes, and it is expected that other organizations of this character will soon launch out upon the same line. For the past five years the Savannah Home Association has had quarters at 410 Taylor street, west, which are comfortably arranged for the pleasure of its members, but the Home-Boys are now looking forward to a greater and more commodious building for the housing of the association. On account of the popularity of the club, the deal has attracted wide attention and the community is now watching for the razing of the present houses that now stand on this site and the beginning of the work on the new structure. It is understood that it is the intention of the association to erect a three-story brick structure with half modern improvements and of the very latest design. Just what time the work will begin on the building could not be ascertained from President Burke, but it is presumed that it will be the early part of next month. The members of the association are enthusiastic over the efforts and a wild rush is being made by them to push the project through. It is understood that the plans for the building and the specifications are now in the hands of an architect and as soon as completed, will be given out for competitive bids. The building will probably be of red press brick, well lighted and steam heated. The main entrance will be on Minis street, with the stairs on the east side of the structure and an entrance on George street. On the ground floor will be two stores with tile flooring. The second floor will be an auditorium with a seating capacity of two hundred and fifty. It will be beautifully decorated. On this floor will be a ladies' dressing room. This floor will be used exclusively for meetings and entertainments and there will be a balcony extending the full width of the building. The association's quarters will be on the third floor and will be elaborately furnished. It will consist of a reception and rest rooms and every convenience possible for the comfort of the members. On this floor will also be the executive room. On the top of the building will be installed a roof garden, lighted with small electric bulbs of varied colors. The proposed club house will undoubtedly be the first owned by any Negro organization of this character in the country and the cost of erection is estimated at between eight and ten thousand dollars. NEGRO'S DISTRUST OF WHITE RACE GROWING St. Louis, Dec. 7.—An increasing distrust of the white race on the part of Negroes is set forth in the report of the committee on Negro churches, presented to the Federal Council of Churches of Christ late today by Bishop Wilhur P. Thirkeld of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The report emphasized the necessity of leadership on the part of the white churches of the South and said that the Negro churches needed better, trained pastors. On the part of the Negroes, said the report, there is a growing contempt for the religion and sense of justice of the white man, but the committee expressed its belief that the social conscience of the South is astir. REV AYERS OF JAYAN TO SPEAK Rev. James B. Ayers of Japan will deliver a missionary sermon on tomorrow night at 8:30 o'clock at Butler Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. S. T. Redd is the pastor, Rev. Ayers is a fluent speaker, and there is no doubt that the sermon will be enjoyed ably. Everyone that can should avail himself of this opportunity to hear him. While in the city he will be entertained by mayor W. J. Pierpoint. PAGE TWO Sports Clothes and Fashionable Sport The Color Note is the most Prominent In the Dashing Costumes CHARMING MUFFLER AND TURBAN SETS New York, December 4—The fashionable sport to indulge in this winter is skating—there is no doubt about it. Everybody has taken to skating with as much ado as they took to dancing several winters ago. Last year everybody skated, and this year they are to be just as enthusiastic about it. Before the winter season really came in officially, the rinks were thrown open and thronged with sports-loving crowds. Is it the love for sports that has created the charming sports clothes we see, or is it just the irresistible charm of these clothes that has fostered the craze for sports? Whatever answer the psychologist may have to this question, the fact remains that sports clothes have never been so popular or attractive as they are today. They have risen to such a prominent position that even those who do not pretend to be sportswomen may wear them with all propriety. There are sports clothes of every type, showing as wide a variety in © MOCALL Skating Coat of Wool Velours with Fur Collar color, cut and fabric as anyone could wish. To go skating, you may wear a long, warm coat such as the one pictured here, with a one-piece dress, or else a two-piece suit of wool jersey, corduroy, velvet, zibeline or duvetyn, or a separate short coat with a skirt of contrasting color and contrasting material. Both hiplength and longer coats are used, and the skirts are worn quite short. The Color Note in Sports Clothes More striking, perhaps, than any other feature of sports costumes is the color note. Bright, vivid colors are used to a larger extent than the lighter colorings, though all-white and black-and-white are very well liked. White © MOCALL ruits of chinchilla or corduroy trimmed with black fur are very attractive, and some of these have muffs to match, combining the material of the suit and the fur with which it is trimmed. Some very striking costumes consist of plaid wool coats, the plaid including many colors, with the wool jersey or corduroy skirts in bright rose, orange or emerald green. With these costumes are worn Scotch plaid wool hose to match the coat. This is one of the very latest novelties. Russian green, purple, brown and yellow are some of the other colors in demand. There are lovely sets of long muffers and caps to be worn with these sweaters and separate skirts. These come in all the gray self colors, and often two colors are combined. Charming set recently heen was of black velvet with bands of Palsley at either end of the muffler. A black velvet tam-o'-shanter with a band of Palsley and a rosette of the same at the side, went with it. Palsley was also combined with light-brown wool in another set of muffler and turban. Sweaters of Angora, Shetland wool, silk and wool jersey seem to be more popular than the others, and the models belted across the front and back, or all around. Sometimes leather belts are worn with them. Slip-on sweaters with no opening at all have also sprung into facor again. They are on the order of the popular blouses that are slipped on over the head. A long coat of wool velours with a large fur collar buttoned snugly around the throat is shown here as an example of one of the many smart coats which are used not only for skating but for other purposes as well. A marked feature of coats this season is the large collar, which may or may not be of fur, according to the taste of the wearer. Quite unlike the standing "chin" collars of last year, they spread over the shoulders and are generally rolled over, giving extra warmth. Though they give somewhat a bulky appearance, they are very becoming and thoroughly comfortable. In addition to a fur collar, one occasionally sees pockets of fur on cloth coats. The checker-board design in wool materials is quite a favorite for dresses Relieved by trimming of a plain material in some harmonizing, tone, the effect is entirely pleasing. Such a combination is illustrated in the attractive model in black-and-white wool check with plain broadcloth trimming shown here. The upstanding "fence", collar extending almost from shoulder to shoulder is still featured in a number of new models. Belts in fancy designs also contribute in a great degree to the novelty of the design. In this instance, the deep yoke belt, which does not entirely encircle the waist, is a prominent feature.

He has organized the church choirs into a cohesive choral body, and has formed a club of church organists which will result in better services for the churches and better opportunities for the organists.

His faculty includes recognized authorities in the branches they are called upon to teach. --- Frank Montgomery's aggregation of entertainers in the musical comedy "Back to the Old Home Town" did a remarkable good business last week at the Howard and pleased large audiences of people who understood the production was for laughing purposes only. The players are far above the average, all having made reputations in raudeville and other road shows. Mr. Montgomery is droll comedian of the Birt Williams type and is rapidly coming into his own. The musical comedy atage has a new star in Florence McClain, whose attention to detail stamps her as a genuine artist Her physical charm rival those of Annette Kellerman, and her costumes are THE SAVANNAH · TRIBUNE simply "dreams." She does a marvelous amount of work, without apparently extending herself, taking three and four enclosures on as many big numbers. The show is at the National in Philadelphia this week and will doubtless make, good there as it did in Washington. The authorities of Howard University including Secretary Cook, denied that the resignation of Attorney James A. Cobb as a member of the faculty of the Howard Law School has been asked for. The laity is wondering how such a report started and received such widespread circulation. The country is patiently awaiting the promised and overdue statement as to the Federick Douglass homestead and the relation of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs to the property. The race indicates a willingness to do its part in making "Cedar Hill" a mecca for the colored Americans, if the trustees will unbosom themselves and let the masses know the facts and inform them as to what is to be done in the premises. Mr. James W. Pace, of the War Department, has been promoted to a $900 clerkship. Major James E. Walker and his gallant command, the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard, were tendered a public reception a few evenings ago at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Major Walker says his men carried no chips on their shoulders and did not hunt for trouble with a searchlight. They acted as manly men should and found no lack of respect on the part of soldiers of the other race anywhere. Major Walker's boom for the post of Assistant Superintendent In charge of colored schools has grown to enormous proportions since his remarkable display of executive ability on the border. He would make an ideal head of the local colored school system. Amphion Club Celebrates Anniversary The truly great social event of Thanksgiving was the observance of the "silver anniversary" of the Amphion Glee Club Friday night at the True Reformers' hall. The great auditorium and spacious gallery were packed with friends of the race's greatest musical organization of its type in the land. That it has been able to maintain its existence for twenty-five years, unbroken by a moment's lapse, is a distinct achievement, and Director J. Henry Lewis, founder and business manager throughout this time, is the recipient of the enthusiastic plaudits of a well-served community because of his fidelity and industry. The full line-up of the club was present and made an inspiring picture in their faultless evening dress. A musical and literary program was presented, followed by a "promenade" which lasted until the "wee sama" hours. Judge Robert Terrell delivered a telling address in which he paid a fine tribute to Director Lewis. Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans, was introduced amid enthusiasm and smoke interestingly on "Music as a Legacy." commending the Amphlons for their strict adherence to a type of music worth while: Miss Marie A. D. Madre added another note of praise to the Amphlons' generous supply. --- The Thanksgiving banquet of the "Boosters and Knockers' Club" was the "best ever". An account will be given later. --- Mr. R. S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, spent a few days here last week. He attended the football game on Thanksgiving day and rooted Hampton—his alma mater's team—into a decisive victory over Howard. From here he went to Richmond, Va. to visit relatives and will then go to New York. ```markdown ``` T. Thomas Fortune is to lecture on "Journalism". He is a member of the faculty of the Columbia Academy and Conservatory of Music. The colored teachers are taking a commendable degree of interest in the agitation of a teachers' pension fund and retirement law. The passage of a retirement law by Congress would relieve a situation that is very embarrassing to the old teachers and to the school system. The meeting arranged by Mr. Charles M. Thomas, was a fine one and the address of Dr. John Van Schalck, Jr., threw a clear light on the problem at issue. * * * A strong effort will be made by the Board of Education to rehabilitate the department of Business Practice in the colored schools, which is reported to be badly run down. Miss Vivian Lucile Thomas spent Thanksgiving day in Philadelphia, the guest of Miss Lucy Webb. B. H. Sutton, a colored man and an ex-slave, in a well-tempered card in Monday's Post, warns the colored working man to beware of the blandishment of the American Federation of Labor. He thinks the Negro will make a mistake if he places himself in a position where he can be made to fight American capitalists, who have always been ready to give the colored man a chance to earn an honest living, while the unions have steadily, opposed the black man, until the threatened competition is driving them to recognize the Negro in a spirit of self-defense. The subject is a live one and is being discussed in all circles. James R. Shepard, president of the National Training School, Durham, N. C., with his face aglow, stopped over for a few days enroute to New York. In reference to the recent educational conference at the school. Dr. Shepard talked most interestingly. The conference is conceded to have been the largest and most, effective meeting of its kind ever held in the country under a single leadership. Dr. Shepard, with the backing of the Training School, originated, laid the plans and pushed the movement to a successful end. Funds being provided by a philanthropic lady of New York. The four days' session began on November 21 and throughout the long delibration the custodians of the future of the colored youth patiently went over the wide sweep of ground necessary to cover the array of subjects placed before them. In the sympathetic attitude of the southern white man toward the colored workers from every section lies one of the greatest triumphs of the conference. Mutual dependence and mutual helpfulness in the relations of the the races were recognized by every element in the body and all have quite the scene hartened and strengthened by the free, franknud full exchange of confidences Mr. R. G. L. Palge, a practicing attorney-at-law of Norfolk, Va., was in the city last week. Mr. James S. Thomas, formerly a member of the faculty of Howard University, has opened a tea room and dainty shop at 9th and Westminster streets, and is making a specialty of entertaining after-theatre parties and for ladies who wish to enjoy a rest after a shopping tour. BASTOW SCHOOL PARENT TEACH-ERS ASSOCIATION DOING SPLENDID WORK On the night of November 1st, a meeting of citizens was held at College Park Baptist Church to consider the advisability of organizing themselves for helpfulness in the community. Rev. R. H. Thomas conducted devotions and stated the object of the meeting. After much thought and discussion it was decided to effect an organization. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Mrs. W. C. McLester, vice presidents, Mrs. L Wyatt, Mrs. I. Frazzler, Mrs. I. G. Bailey; recording secretary, Mrs. E. K.

State College, have made interesting and helpful addresses before the body. Misses Harrett Kennedy, M. Alston, F. Harris and I. Haris furnished an interesting program at the meeting with Mrs. Bailley, in Fairview. Mr. John De Vanghn, "the children's friend" was present also, and told what he had in store for the new school. The ladies have given entertainments to raise funds. Mrs. Miller made mention of one she had given to help buy the heater, which is now doing good work for the children. Too much credit and thanks cannot be given Rev. R. T. Thomas for his efforts to make the new school in this community a reality. He has spent his time and money. Pres. R. R. Wright. Prof. L. B. Thompson, who donated a bell, Prof. W. D. Thomas, Prof. I. F. Flipper, Mr. McLester, Profs. Hazel, Simmons, Moore and Mrs. Hill are a few of those who have encouraged the movement by words and work. Rev. I. J. Yancy, Mr. Willis Wyatt, Bro. Derrick, Franklin and DeVaughn are among those who worked faithfully by the side of Rev. Thomas. The women of the community have aided materially in their work. A meeting will be held on the first Wednesday night of this month at Central Baptist church. An entertainment will be given at College Park Baptist Church, Friday night, December 8th, admission 10. Mrs. McLester is the manager.

Saturday December 16th, 1916 The season of good cheer is upon us. In our budget for the holidays do not forget the unfortunate ones. Contribute to them through an organized charitable organization Hospitality day was observed on Thursday. A royal welcome, and entertainment was extended the visitors. This ofcourse meant the whites. The colored people in the surrounding counties should be credited with half of the trade given Savannah, yet, on such occasions, they are completely ignored. When the Republicans had the power, they failed to enact proper laws regulating national elections. They have at last seen their mistake and for that reason Mr. Renrose has introduced a bill looking to that end. It has not the slightest chance to become a law under the present regime, but it at least shows that sentiment for a change is being crystallized. The laborers employed by several of the railroads in the city made a demand for more wages. The demand is justified by the increased cost of living, and should have been met in a like spirit by the companies interested. There is no doubt that the railroads are paying less for work here and getting larger returns than elsewhere. These companies can be of vital good to this community by simply dealing fairly with the laborers. No where else will they be able to secure a more willing and efficient number of laborers, and by all means they should be treated fairly. The twenty thousand dollars in Christmas money which was issued this week by the three Negro banks of the city show in the most emphatic manner what a little saving of extra change for the few months will amount to. Little did one think when these clubs were first inaugurated by the banks here, that they would reach the high degree of popularity to which they have attained. Scores have been the persons who have been persuaded by these clubs to start savings accounts, who before their inauguration did not so much as entertain the slightest desire to save anything. The Christmas club idea is an excellent one, for from among the members of these clubs emerge many permanent depositors whose inclination to save had its erda in these clubs. Savannah is not doing its part for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. It behooves those in charge of the matter to get busy and do not allow our fair city to fall behind the others. Want $110,000 For Memorial Washington, D. C., Dec., 14.—Representative I. R. Sherwood, of Ohio, tonight was elected president of the Consolidated Booker T. Washington Memorial Association, which plans to solicit $110,000 from citizens of the United States for a memorial to the Negro educator, to be erected on a site provided by the government. Representative Sherwood accepted on condition that Congress not be asked to appropriate and funds. MEMBERS OF NEWSPAPER PROFESSION TO MEET FEB. 7-10 Nashville, Tenn.—Another annual convention of newspaper men for 1917 is to be held in this city Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 7, 8, 9, and 10th. The official call is just being released from the corresponding secretary's office of this city, which comes out signed by C. J. Perry of Philadelphia, Pa., president, Jos. L. Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio as chairman of the executive committee, and Henry A Boyd of this city as correspondent secretary. This will be the fourth time the newspaper men have gathered in the metropolis of Tennessee for an annual gathering, it having been made the regular meeting place of the regular sessions by constitutional provision. The executive sessions have been held generally in connection with the National Negro Business League during the month of August. It is understood from the corresponding secretary that they are expecting the largest attendance in the history of the association, as these are practically no annual meetings being held now in mid-winter that will interfere with the newspaper men's program. The Nashville membership which consists of twenty-five or more, have already called a meeting of the local members, and they are making preparations for the entertainment of all who may come. In addition to this, some of the lead ing, newspaper men of the United States who are connected with the association have expressed their intention of being present at this session. The work to be completed covers a wide scope and is of vital interest to the newspaper fraternity.

Are those of us who are succeuding in a Mmited way will- ing to give to our less fortunate broth- er Who may not be xo well prepared along business lines, in the matter of education nor in experience to com- pete with the other fellow ulong the lines of commercial endeavor, a friend- ly bit of our experience, that he too, may succeed in his special line? These are some of the \questions which the Negro Business League, In at feeble way, Is uttempting to ansiver affirmatively. Some self centered fel- low will uo doubt say, if the Negro don't know how to do business in a docaa’t know how to do business in a the Job. If be succeeds or falls, Its nothing to me; it takes all of my time to attend to my own affairs. Right ut this point 1s where the Negro Business League feels that its buidest work begins. It was the first murderer, Cain, who had the brazen affroutery to look his maker, as it were, right in the fuco aud ask him: “Am I my brother's Keeper?” There tx not a thoughtful Negro mun or womn in this entire country but who will not readily admit thut thé biggest body of death about our neck, a4 a race, is simply downright selfishness. Listen to the words: of a prosperous brother as he speaks to a number of his brethrea who were then in dire want and poverty, sud who at one time, sought to do him an irreparable injury, but, whose wicked- ness wus overturued for good as he says to them: “Ye shall see not my face unless you bring your brother with you.” This Is what onsuized efforts on the part of the Negroes in this com- munity stand for, There stands open for the Negro Business man and wo- man in this community u splendid op- portunity for them to demonstrate to the world as to what kind of stewards they will make, in the event much earthly porsexsions be entrusted to thelr care. “At this season of the year, the gen erous thoughts of every man and “wo- man are turned towards thove who may be less fortunate than themselves.

Johnson, who Is enthusiastically supported by x coterie of faithful, tos- al and sclf-densing women and men, who, out of their penury in the past three sears lave given no small amount te the indigent members of the race in thi, immediate community: But think for a moment, what If we all were in the condition as those whofe cases [have ‘been descyibed bore, to wham wonld we have to look?’ What If you bud no generous hearted bnginess men and bushes women in thls communits, what would become of the unfortunate ones among 1a? Can you not see the importance of contributing your quota to the mak- jug of more and better business enter- prises among the race in this com- mnuity? Tet ns therefore. as we enter upon the dutles of the nest year, re solve within ourselves to. Strive to make bigger and hotter Nezro busi neasex than we hue ever had before.

I am far from where 1 was when I wrote that lust letter, and you will rejoice with me I am sure, for T have been doing some riding, and T ean still here. There bave been some notable deaths in this countrs, and jou have heard about them. I have attended the meeting of the Arkansas State Baptist Convention at Hot Springs. 1 was there when I ‘wrote that letter, and I was 2 little wbaklog the whole time I was there, Pocause I did not know what moment the devil would break out and burn wp all the people.

They fell me that it will cure kick people. and make ot peo- ple young. : Hut coming to the convention, it was indsel a large convertion, People wore there from all parts of the state and they were doing sowe real acthve work. Presiding over the convention was Dr. EL ©. Morris, and he bas heen there for 235 sears, and theydeclded to keep him there. They don’t bellere in changiz. Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., held the position vf vice president for fn long time, and gave it up himself, and for what reason, I don't know. Twas ut the ,convention from the time ft opened until it closed, aud T heard some real xood speeches. Dr. J. A. Booker, who 1s secreta:y of the Home Missioti Board of the National Baptist Convention and one of the strongest men of the race, is presiding of the Arkansas Baptist College, and helleve me honey, this is one of the schools of the race that fs doing real good work, I bad the pleasure of wtopping over there and looking into the work. ‘There were some visitors at the con- vention, and I met them. f met Rev. A. R. Griggs. educational .secretary; Rey. F. Arlington Wilson, oue of the secretaries of the National Baptist convention, and a bosy man from Mus- kozee, Okla.

They are going to hold a conference soon to discuss plans for the celebra- tion of the 50th anniversary next fall ‘This reminds me that-the Baptists of “Virginia are going to celebrate thelr Soth anniversary next July, and it promises to be one of the greatest things In all the country, All the con- jrentiag will come together in Lynch- burg.

There were, during these years, many, “hand power” companies composed of | whites and coloréd and the city felt proud of them all They honored and respected them all as gardians of the: safety of the city and decorated the machines of the company or compantes Whore exploits were most praiseworthy, when In action.

His son is now president of o bank that his wisdom and genious drove to success, These companies existed, many of them, before and after the war and did valuable service for the city. It may bé seed that the Négro companies out numbered the white companies, This is significant of that day and time Whereas, all of the captains were white, like privileges and courtesise ‘were shown to them all by all of the people. hone | ‘Upon annual occasions which usually ocurred on the firat day of May, all be companies paraded together.

At seven o'clock he would call out in deed tones “seven o'clock and all is well” and so on with euch succeeding hour, if a fire would break out be would see it from this lofty eminence. ‘Then he would cull out as the case might be. “O o'clock and there fs a fire ‘in the th ward’.

Lesson xi—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 17, 1916, THE TERNATIONAL SERIES. 2—Memory- Verses, 3, 4—Golden ‘Text, Rev. xxl, 3—Commeritary Pre- pared by Rev. D. M. Stearne. ‘The topic of this lesson is “The Holy’ City,” but only the Grst two verses and the Inst verses refer to the city. Verses 3 and 4 refer to thisearth when it shall be a New Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness (verse 1; 11 Pet. Ml, 13; Isa. Ixv, 17; Ixvl, 22. Only io these four passages do we read of the new earth, and it 1s possible that the passages in Isaiah refer to the millen- nial earth when the devil shall be bound tn the bottomtess pit for a thou- sand years (Rev. xx, 1-6). while tho other two may refer to the ages be- yond the millennium, "the time will come when this earth, jso long cursed by sin and Satan, shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, and the nations sball learn war no more (Num. xtv, 21; Iea- ML, 4; xi, 9; Hab. ih 14; Mic. fv, 3). A king shalt relgn tn righteousness, and the result will be peace, quietness and assurance forever (Isa. xxxi, 1, 17)- The way In which God will bring this all to pass It so plainly written tbat only those who refuse to believe that God means what He says can fall to understand {t. Following the letters to the churches of last week's lesson. we see In chaptets tv and v the com- pleted church gone from the earth to be with Christ in glory, and we do not ‘Gnd the ghureh agatn In the book till we come to the marriage of the Lamb in chapter x1x and then the return of Christ In glory. as the rider upon the white horse, accompanied by all the armies In heaven, to bind the devil send his associates to the lake of fire and set up His millennial kingdom of righteousness_ The church being taken away, we have in chapters vi to xvill, inclusive. an account of the great day of the wrath of the Lord. of which the proph- ets have so much to, say—the time of tribulation such as never was and nev- er will be again (Dan. xi. 1; Jer. xxx, 7; Matt. xxiv, 21; Rev. xvi, 18 19), which the Lord shail put an end to by His coming in glory. In those days the nations shall gather under one leader against the Lord and against His people Israel (Rev. xill, 4-8; xvil, 1214), and this teader sbail be wor- shiped by all the world. all whose names are not In the book of Iife, and he shall be the devil incarnate. the antichrist. No such person is yet In sight, and there is as yet no nation of Israel against whom they will gather, but many things may develop from the present European confilct. After the cbureb shall bave been tak- en und the tribulation begun a great multitude from all nations sbal! be saved who are sald to come out of the great tribulation (Rev. vil, 14. R. V.). Many of these may have to seal their testliouy with their blood. ‘Then in chapters vii, 1-$: xiv, 1-5, we read of 144,000 of the twelve tribes of Isract who are neither the church of chapters iv and v nor the tribulation saints of chapter vil, but Just, what they are said to be—scaled ones of the tribes of Israel who will have their own place in the Kdngdom. By the judgments of the tribulation period this great age sball close and a new age begin, with Jesus Christ as Israel's Messiah on the throne of David, as we shall see in our next lesson. ‘Then He shall begin His reign, which has not yet begun, for Ho 1s on His Father's throne, walt- ing for the time when He shall come to His own throne and reign till He ‘shail have put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed will be death (Rev. ill, 21; I Cor. xv. 35, 20). From tsa. Ixy, 20-2, it looks as it there would be death during the mil lennium, but not as now, for one dying then at the age of 100 will be said to die in childhood, and many may .live right through, but In the new carth after the thousand years, wheu \the tabernacle of God shall be with men and He shall be as familiar with men on earth ag He was with Adam and Eve in Eden, then on this earth there sball be no-more death, neither sorrow nor crying, nelther shail there be any more pain. “and there shall be no more’ curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and Us serv- ants shall serve Him” (chapters xsi, 3, 4; xxil, 3-5). Now, as to the holy city, the new Jerusalem, the bride, the Lamb's wife. which shall need no light of sun or moon, because the glory of God and | the Lamb shall be the light of it and | {a the light of whieb the saved uations | of earth shall walk and shall bring | -.~~PAGESEVEN —aV—aseEUaq]]]__[—>_———————————— M.
