The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII GOLDEN: CIRCLE ORDER STRANDED RULER WALTHOUR AND VICE RULER CAMPBELL SKIP Was at one Time Flourishing Order With Headquarters on Stewart St. The Golden Circle Society, which, but a short time ago was seemingly in a flourishing condition, has gone under and has left hundreds of its members of this city in ignorance as to the cause of this sudden failure, according to the information that has been received from a reliable source. The order was established here about five years ago by John Waltour and was well received in the community which was evidenced by the large membership that it built up in this space of time. From all accounts the business was badly handled recently and as the treasury dwindled away, so did those in charge of the affairs depart to other fields. The order had headquarters on Stewart street and not until Thursday of last week was there anything unusual noticeable by the officers that would cause suspicion to be aroused. It appears that a small printing plant which they had installed and a safe were removed from the office by some small pretext and on Thursday night of the same week Mrs. Lenora King, who held down the clerkship was informed that her services were not further needed. At this time the office furniture was intact with the exception of the safe, but when the clerk returned next morning to get some of her personal effects she found the place empty. Rumor ran thick and fast and very quickly those in charge of the affair were being sought. Much to the chargin of the members it was learned that Grand Ruler Walthour and Vice Grand Ruler Campbell had left town. Daniel Thornton who was secretary of the order, when approached on the matter, stated that he had ceased activity in the society about a year ago at which time he claims that the men now charged with wrecking the affair, squandered two hundred dollars of his personal money in a restaurant business that the order was supposed to be conducting on West Broad street. He denied any knowledge of the existing conditions and charges that lately the order was conducted by Waltour and Campbell and at no time was be consulted on any of the business transactions. His statement was corroborated by Mrs. King who had been clerk in the headquarters under the secretary. As far as can be ascertained, the Whereabouts of Walthour and Campbell are unknown and what was once a flourishing organization is put asunder by their flight and has left behind here an empty treasury. Just what steps will be taken in the matter cannot be definitely stated at this time, but it is thought that a thorough investigation will be demanded and that the accounts of Secretary Thornton will be audited. REV. WORTHEN PREACHED AT STATE COLLEGE On last Sunday Rev. W. W. Worthen delivered an interesting sermon at the Georgia State Industrial College The sermon was an able one, and delivered very acceptably to the students and faculty who joined in commendation of the same.

ATTORNEY LEMON GIVEN CUP On last Tuesday evening a committee representing the Freshman class of the Ga. State College, where Prof. Lemon has been serving as instructor of mathematics, called at the ex-professor's residence on East Gaston street and presented him a large and handsome loving cup, beautifully designed and handsomely engraved. In well-chosen words Prof. Lemon expressed appreciation for the sentiment which the gift typified and conveyed. Several friends were present and there were many expressions of regret at Prof. Lemon's leaving and felicitations for his success in his new field. He will practice law in Savannah. The occasion was concluded with singing "A Perfect Day." PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION CUYLER STREET SCHOOL The Parent-Teachers' Association of Guyler Street school met at the school on last Wednesday afternoon. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. M. L. Ayers, president of the organization. The usual opening formalities were followed and the scripture was read by Mrs. C. B. Tyson. Rev. R. V. Sutton offered prayer. After a few preliminary remarks by the president, the meeting was turned over to the committee on program which had selected as the speaker of the occasion, Dr. C. C. Middleton. The doctor was introduced to the assembly and amid applause arose and took for his subject, "First Aid." He spoke interestingly on the existing conditions in the community and his remarks created a great deal of enthusiasm among the listeners. At the conclusion of his talk a rising vote of thanks was tendered him and several commendable expressions were made as to the enjoyment and benefit derived from his remak. As a result of Dr. Middleton's instructive lecture a committee of five was appointed, namely, Mrs. George W. Smith, Mrs. C. B. Tyson, Mrs. S. T. Redd, Miss Georgia Hurd and Mrs. M. E. Tolbert, to confer with the colored physicians of the city to see if they would examine the children of the public schools, providing it is agreeable with the board of education. This committee was also instructed to present the desires of the body to the board of education, if the conference with the doctors proved favorable. There were eighty-seven mothers and teachers present, and several expressed themselves as being well pleased with the work that the association is doing, and which they consider very helpful and beneficial. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served by Miss Crogman, teacher of domestic science. The association will meet again on the second Wednesday afternoon, next month, at 4 o'clock, at which time an increased attendance is looked for. All mothers are invited to attend these meetings.

Welcher Added to Board of Directors The annual meeting of the stock- holders of the Mechanics Savings Bank one of Savannah's progressive Negro banks, was held on last Monday after- n in the directors' room of the bank. The annual report of Cashier F. D. Tucker showed that the institution enjoyed the most prosperous year in its history. A feature of the report which brought forth much enthusiasm was that part of it which dealt with the large number of new depositors and stockholders. At the completion of the report, the stockholders met and elected the old board of directors with the addition of J. W. Welcher, the contractor, who takes the place of Rev. R. H. Singleton, who was recently removed from the city. The directors in turn met and elected the old officers for the ensuing year.

COLORED AUTO FUNERALS TO BE SEEN HERE SOON Five Limousines of New Service in Emancipation Parade Charleston, S. C., Jan 2.—Not only are the white people of Charleston "enjoying" automobile funeral service, but colored folks also will, in a fortnight or so, be able to ride to the cemetery, either as mourners or as the remains, in limousines and moto hearse, as Mickey Bros., well known undertakers on Calhoun street, have five Reo limousines already here, and will receive their auto hearse from Cincinnati in about ten days. That the colored people will have ruto funeral service became generally known yesterday when the emancipation parade occurred, and the officers of the Emancipation Association of Charleston were seen riding in limousines. They escorted the orator of the day, Louis J. Gregory, a colored lawyer of Washington, and a native of this city, in fine style. The parade was, as usual, a rather impressive turn-out of colored people, and was made the more impressive by the presence of the limousines.—Evening Post.

TRACKS r Pe ee, Meee) Se Oe, re ae ‘Secccs, Wiam © Sek. Sitti carl Teas, ee New York, Dec, 20—Fashion contin- ues i nways of straight and unabated fullness. Skirts fall! in soft, clinging folds, so mnch so that the tendency toward the narrow silhouette becomes very apparent, though we need not yet anticipate the very ‘narrow skirt. It is already rumored, however, that skirts for spring will be two and two and a half yards wide. But it is really looking a ttle too far ahead to be thinking of spring styles alreday. At present, skirts are still very ample, Box pleats and side pleats are very freely used, and this means that a good deal of material fs used in, dress or skirt. The pleats hang in straight lines generally unstitched, while in some cases they are stitcbed as far as the hips and below that point are pressed Into positien. ae A Black Satin Dress with Tie-on Collar and Loop Pockets The general leugthening. of skirts Shat bas come with the vogue for straight Hnes is noticeable in many dresses; but women, on the whole, have not taken readfly to the long skirts, und the short skirt for street costumes is still favored by a great many, A long street skirt is really not grace- ful in a tailored suit, and women are not willing to sucrifice becoming styles 80 readily. In afternoon and evening dresses, however, the long skirt is, mot at all ungraceful. Some afternoon and eve- ning dresses show slight variations from the straight lines. The Turkish trouser effect and draped skirt come from Paris as a departure from the extromely straight hanging and cling- ing effects. Full overskirts are also much used for evening, fashioned of soft silk voiles. tolles and laces. Black and white com- of eg All Smart for Sports or Daily Use ‘hinations occur very often in evening gowns. “Black net worked up with white beads over a white satin foun- dation is one of the striking combina- tions used by an expert French de gigner. A sash of black satin forms a wide girdle which is welghted at the ends by heavy black and white bead tassels. .

Pockets Still Persist * When we consider the traditional fickleness of Fashion, it seemg as tho the Ife of the pocket has been long, indeed; but the pocket still flourishes on suits, coats and dresses and shows not the slightest sigus of becoming ex- tinct. The Intest development in this Une Is the long, loop-like pocket placed over the hips and standing.away from the skirt, ‘The smart afternoon dress of black satin shown fn the sketch i- lustrates this type of pocket, also the new tieon collar, which crosses In front and ties at the back, somewhat Uke the tie-on jumpers. The Jong loop pocket is usually made of a color which coutrasts with the dress, or else it is lof the same material, but its presence fs emphasized by some trimming in bright- silk embrofdery or in beads. Or, if it ts made of the same material, it is simply Mned with a contrasting color, ) The Pinched Back Coat : Hip-length coats with the pinched effect at the back and a straight front |are very smart for the serviceable sult for dally wear or for the sports sult, ‘The back is belted with a rather wide belt stitched down over short pleats, which produces the pinched effect. With this tyne of coat the full box- Pleated skirt makes an excellent cos- tume. In mannish mixtures and jer- sey cloth, these sults are worn for shop- ping, sports and for praetical use. The sketch illustrates one of these jaunty suits in bright green jersey cloth. WHAT LOVE CAN AND WILL DO FOR THE NEGROES (By Mrs. Morence Moss Blackwell) — s This is the age of the Negro’s pre- paredness; God knew that it would be necessary, that the Negro be prepared to enjoy the comforts he has reserved for him? because of his lack of love for one another. The Negro race Is in reality, the strongest race of people in the world, It his endured more hardships, stood } more abus@, had more draw-backs, ac- complished more through difficulty, sought less revenge, remained humble midst the greatest trials and has{ won more reall Victories than any other race of people. ‘ y | The Negro race !s full of power, “O! belleve it, the Negro race Is full of wis- dom and the embodiment of ambition, but Iacketh one thing, love.” No race has made the strides, under the same handicapped conditions as the Nesro. We only really need just a little ‘nore ‘love and a little more faith in our brothers and we can remove mountains. Is it al] sufficient that we have by the aid of our whittbrother and the help of our fore-fathers erected upon the earth Institutions of learning for the development of the mind and the abundant growth of the spirit? Ought not we erect into the hearts of the boss and girls of today such perpetual inspiration and encouragement that soul development will be the highest nim of all such institutions of learn- ing, that they may win for the race ity rightfut place in the hearts of al] pations? Tt is a comparitively simple matter that the Negro sends his boys and girls to public schools, high schools and col- leges, but ft is quite another thing to built up and wail into the hearts of every black boy and girl to love his ‘brother or‘sister across the street be- ‘cause she ls identified with your race. That is race pride. God is more willing to lft the Ne- gro up above his earthly foes than he fs to be Ufted up. All He asks ts, that we love one another. The great- ‘est commandment in the Bible is that we love one another. To love menns to trust, to trust means to succeed, to succeed means re- spect, respect means union and union means _peace. When we walk the streets, board a car or travel by rail or water, we are met with most dis- gusting sights and experiences, forced on.us by the degrading members of our race. Why? Simply because we have felt ourselres too good to stoop down and lift up that part of our body that trails in thé dust, It is true we are waking up to the fact that the only way to rise and gain the esteem of other lraces, is that we have got to lift up our brother to keep him from pulling ug down and to save him in order to be saved, but there is so much more to be done yet, and love can and will do ft all. ! By the magnitude of brotherly-love the worst outcast may become a food citizen, We could draw a brother from the gailaws, even after the cap of death has been placed upon his brow with brotherly-love. We can ratse a fallen sister even after her skirts have beer tattered and torn with the stain of sin, to a Ufe of true service and use- fulness with a Uttle human kindness and brotherly-love. Brotherly-love is one of the strong- est powers of man’s natyre, It rules the universe, It tose and pittes the sinner, apd it will Bring heaven into the the heart of every creature who possesses ft. Love can and will raise every Negro above the scortching sands of earth to ‘an earthly paradise. STATEMENT OF F. L. COLLIER OF ATLANTA REFUTED To the Editor of The Tribune: I noticed in the issue of the Atlanta Georgian of Jnauary 4, an article which was evidently civen that paper by E. Iz Colller, enptioned “Decision Near in Necro Lode Row.” The interview or article is quite mis- leading and is a reflection on the in- tellizent Negro Odd Fellows of Geor- rin and specially dewa It do an infust- ice. to the real and only anditor of the Sub-Committee of Mannzement, Edward FH, Burke of Savannah It {s true that Collier had a stiort letter from Attorney General Walker some days ago, and it Is equally true that the reason Colfer had this letter 1s that he husied himself to write the Attorney General inquiring of him about- the decision of the » Supreme court. I say ft 1s a reflection on the Ne gro Odd Fellows of Georgia and does an injustice to Burke, the only auditor from Georgia because Colller’s name was never mentioned, proposed or ‘of: fered for election to this important position, nor could he have been elect- ed had his name been presented. Collier does not know, nor did the Attorndy General state in his letter to him any definite time when be thought the dicision would be rendered. He simply remarked that “the decision would be rendered in a few weeks” or words to that effect. Some men are chosen Teaders and others try to force themselves as such and are merely would-be leaders. Col- Her is not one of the leaders in the Negro Odd Fellow fight, he is no aud- itor of anything and fs only trying to mislead the intellizent white and black folks of his importance, Taward HW. Burke, city editor of TLe Savannah Tribune, a leading Negro weekly, Is the only auditor from Geor- gia on thé Sub-Committee of Manage- men of the national body, and so far as Collier Is concerned, his height was reached whet he gave out the misin- formation that “he was an auditor of the national bods” which Is entirely untrue, ~ Respectfully. s | R.

C—Watermeton stem rot results in 2 decay of the mel- on, at the stem end, which usually de velops during transit to market. The Investigation of the U. S. Department of Arriculture have shown that the cause {s a fungus which fs common in many southern fields, and many weeds, as well as on decaying melons. The spores of this fungus are blown about and lodge on the molst cut end of the melon stem after it Is severed from tbe vine, germinate, and srow into the melon, which, often begins to decay within three days. ‘The experiment made last summer on several carloads of melons offer good hopes that this stem-end rot can he prevented. The methods recam- mended by the Department of Azri- culture are as follows: (1) Cut and burn all weeils around the, field and along ditch banks during winter. (2) From the fime that the melons sot on the vines, all cut fruit should be hauled out of the field weekly and fed to hogs, or deeply buried. Wash the wagons used for hauling culls with ft two nercent bluestone solution. (3) Spraying with bordeaux mix- ture for anthracnose will probably help control stem-end rot. , | (4) Laborers harvesting , melons should never cut or touch a decayed ‘melon, y | (5), Cut melons with long stems jand Toad into cars with the least pos- sible delay and with the utmost care in handling, to avold bruising. .Open car ventilators. : (G) Most important of all, apply a paste made of common starch with six ‘per cent bluestone to the freshly cut stems as the melons are being packet In the car, It has been found that dis infecting the stems at other times !s leas effective.as the paste is rubbed off ty handling. ‘As the packers arrange the melon¢ in tlers, have him place the stém end outward, while a reliable boy cuts off a section of the stem and applies a covering of paste with a small round brnzh. (7) Frelght cars that have contain- ed decayed melons or yard refuse should be washed clean and sprayed with 2 two per cent bluestone solution.- The Old Reliable Still Making Good You will die a seeker, if you are seeking for a ccrtmet better than the one issied by the Pilgrim Health aid Life Insurance Company, Home office 1143- Gwinnett Sreet.

Among, the Masons Among, the Masons "The Masonle Order seems so wonderful to me that I sometimes think God must have inspired our founders to make it the unit of all creeds. The order is not meant to take the place of the church, but nevertheless it combines the different faiths in a unit, where no contention exists; it encourages education in all of its branches; it broadens its members and is indeed the brotherhood of man, of good men, of trusty friends, of those who delight in doing good to their fellow men and assisting and upbuilding of the community in which they live. "We do not claim to be saints nor so much better than the profane, but we do aim to be a society of human intelligence of those who show consideration to the rights of others, and who believe that happiness to others is happiness to us. I often wish I had been born a Masonic student and writer, because I have seen so much of the beauties of Masonry that I know that such a life would be an ideal, but I am thankful for what I have learned, and shall delight in reading what the real students of our order produce."—Selected. The newly raised Master Mason stands before us, the embodiment of spiritual perfection, from which the vices and immoralities of common life have been extracted and cleaned away. He grasps the hand, not of a man, but of mankind—he becomes one with and a part of the suffering mass as the pledges of fellowship are unfolded to him and his footsteps, his prayers, and the sympathies of his heart are consecrated to the service of his brother. As a rule, the new Master Mason grasps the vigor and beauty of this consummation. He realizes as he looks hastily, perhaps vaguely, back over the various journeys he has made from his first surprise to this final climax, that a new and broader view of his own being has developed into consciousness. He is, perhaps, dazzled in the revelation that has come to him—in the beauties of a system which contains hidden in its simple and innocent formalities the whole problem of life, aye, and of death and immorality! He feels, in a breath, his weakness and his strength; his dependency and his sovereignty; his mortality and his divine hope. He bows in a sense of humility before the grandure of the new light by which his spirit sees, and dedicates himself in silent worship to the realization of its deep suggestions. He may truly wonder why, with so much goodness and beauty in the human heart which Masonry has brought home to his own soul—like a new inspiration—the world would not be better and happier than it is. He is suddenly impressed with the sublime truth that the best part of our lives is that which we live for and in others. Truly the Mason is first made in the heart. This is the theory of Freemasonry; the abstract philosophy; that which it professes to be and teach; and according to its grand designs we should revere and appreciate it—and our plain duty is to justify its existence and vindicate its high preten- sions by making ourselves what it inculcates—Square and Compasses. The Cable Tow is a cord usually surrounding the tracingboard of the Entered Apprentice with four tassels placed at the four angles, referring to the four cardinal virtues and their illustrated points, and is emblematic of the affection which should unite the whole fraternity, as in Hosea XI 4, "I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love." Can a man who openly, publicly and continuously disregards promises and obligations be regarded and treated as a Mason?—The New Age. He can as long as he is a member of the fraternity in good and regular standing. He is entitled to such treatment until the lodge he disgraces displays enough self-respect to put him out of the fraternity. We are continually hearing complaints of men are unfit to associate with the brethren, but very seldom here of one being expelled — Masonic Standard. RUTH CHAPTER INSTALLS The installation of the officers of Ruth Chapter No. 102, O. E. S. Atlanta, on December 22, was beautiful and very impressive. Grand Master H. R.

Advertising Itates given on Application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mall Saturday January 13th,1917 The rare and singularly sensible way in which the Negro Business Men's League followed up the various investigations into the recent Youngblood affair must not be allowed to go unnoticed and unappreciated by the rank and file of our citizens. As a prominent citizen—a judge of this city—has put it, "they conducted themselves throughout with self-impact, self-reverence and self-control. They are to be commended." Now, be it understood, that the committee representing the League in said investigation, never once became offensive to persons interested in the case from other angles, but quiet and without temper—though none the less courageously—followed up the investigation to a satisfactory conclusion thus far. In this they won, not only the admiration of the rank and file of us—vitally interested from the standpoint of race—but the esteem and respect of those of the opposite race, who are interested in simple justice and fair play. There can be no doubt that, more and more, we must make protests at such outrage and injustice as was exhibited in the Youngblood affair, perpetrated as it was, with a wanton and abandoned disregard for human life. The impulses which actuated the man, McRae, were born of years of training in the thought that the rights of Negroes amounted to very little, if anything, and that the word of one white man is to be taken in preference to the aggregate testimony of a score of Negroes. The arrogant self-importance and self-superiority which must have been back of McTae's inhuman treatment of Youngblood baffles imagination. The leading Negroes have never advocate defiance of law, have always counseled obedience to it and only the demagogues of other races have ever charged it. Here and now, be it understood we urge our people to uphold the majesty of the law, support the police power and help to rid the state of its unenviable record for lynching and the like. Notwithstanding this, Negroes must be encouraged to see that we have developed from among ourselves, a class of men like the Negro business men, who are capable and courageous in a crisis, when the race is being taken advantage of and when right and simple justice is denied us. Usurpation of authority and right, domination, restraint upon personal freedom and violation of civil rights and the rights of property—all these breed disrespect for the law, intensify anti-racial feeling and suggest anarchy to the oppressed. The rank and file of the colored people owe a great debt of gratitude to those men who were alert in the Young-blood affair—to those men who with "self-respect, self-reverence and self-control" saw to it that even a convict is entitled to human treatment at the hands of the state through its duly appointed authority. "Hats off" to the Negro Business Men. It is currently reported that many of the counties of the state have appealed to the Department of Agriculture to take steps to check the excessive migration of Negroes from rural communities to the larger northern centers. This movement of Negro tenants, farm hands and even farm owners, has already assumed alarming proportions, and, it it feared that by spring, will reach the point of veritable stampede. This eventuality would paralize the farming industry in the state and South. Looked at, from the disinterested point of view, however, there can be no wonder that these conditions of unrest, among the laboring classes—those who have little or nothing to lose and everything to gain—should obtain in practically all of the rural communities and smaller towns, and even in most of the larger cities of the South. Ole has only to contemplate the barren and comfortless lot and hopeless outlook of the Negro farm and city laborer, to come to the ready admission that there is nothing unusual about this tidal wave of migration toward the Northern labor centers, especially under the inducements of higher wages, protection to life, limb and property and security in the enjoyment of the civil and political rights. Of course, no one will deny that these ordinary attributes of free citizenship have been ruthlessly and wantonly kept from colored people in the South. The few isolated instances of fair and humane treatment are not sufficient to make the people content; the great numbers of cases that have gone the wrong way, and unpunished, are those that makeup the morale of the people and determine their attitude, their estimate of future outlook. Purely animal instinct and inclination will move men to seek to improve themselves—better living conditions, hope for the future. Northern labor agents are offering these, and it is these promises that lure the Negro on. It takes very little persuasion, because present rural conditions offer very little encouragement to Negroes in the way of earning a livelihood, less in the matter of educating his children, none in the security of his life and property, in the ordinary cases wherein these latter are geopardized. We know of many cases where the white employer and landlord will defend his laborer and tenant and help to secure him in the enjoyment of the fruits of his labor; but even, in these cases, the employer's interest in the Negro's behalf does not extend beyond that Negro's relation to him; and the employer will not, out of simple justice and defense of common right, go beyond his own borders to protect and secure justice and equity for the Negro in his employ or of his acquaintance. Herein lies the crux of the whole situation—the Negro sees in the occasional fair dealing of his white neighbor only the motive of self-interest and has no confidence that his white brother or neighbor will take any avowed stand for justice as between the white and black, when the issue is outside of himself. Examples of mistreatment of Negroes are too numerous to need recounting here, and there are several examples so well known in this community that we shudder to recall the details of them. The problem of migration is primarily economic. If somewhat less a social one. It is not at all sentimental. The solution of it is first and always with the white man of the South. If he will acknowledge his error and take, frankly and fully—in good faith, the necessary steps to correct the trouble, he can succeed. This movement of Negro labor aims at the purse of the white South, it asserts itself most where it counts most—in the farming industry, and at a time when that industry is paying larger dividends than ever before. Migration is going to make the white farmer inquire into the internal life of the Negro in a way he never has, and it is going to force him to the conclusion that, after all, the cause of this discontent is reasonable and traceable to himself, and that the matter has only come to the surface as opportunity has arisen for the Negro to exhibit his true estimate of the conditions under which he lives and labors. We repeat, if the South would hold its Negro labor it can do so, but it must act quickly, clearly and in good faith. Negro labor is a valuable asset and it is foolish not to conserve it. There must be organized and official notice to all the people that the sentiment of the South is for absolute fair play for the Negro, that reasonable living and working conditions will be guaranteed the wage earners, that just and equitable consideration will be given the Negro in the courts and in the expenditure of public funds for education and other public benefits, and that always, and everywhere, there shall be the positive assurance of protection of life, liberty and property and the usual civil and political rights. The bugbear of severe climate, poor housing conditions, death and disease like, held up before the Negroes, will not suffice to deter the movement. These sacrifices are necessary in such readjustment but thousands are willing to take the chance. BEAUFORT, S. C., NEWS Emancipation day was fittingly celebrated in Beaufort. More than four hundred school children took part in the parade which was headed by the Allen band. The following program was rendered at the Tabernacle Baptist church: Singing by school children; prayer. Rev. G. E. Miles; singing, school quartette; introductory remarks. Rev. D. W. Bythewood; reading proclamation, student of Penn school; Getsburg Address. Mr. Alonzo Sanders; singing, Port Royal Agricultural School quartette. Rev. C. J. Byrum, pastor of Grace A. M. E. church, made an address on the progress of the Negro Other speakers were Rev. B. H. McFadden, pastor of the Presbyterian church; Rev. J. E. Lowrey, pastor of Wesley M. E. Church. Officers for 1917 --- are Dr.-D. W. Bythewood, chairman; Miss Martha Simmons, vice chairman; Prof. H.-H. Peterson, treasurer; E.-A. Grant, secretary. Miss Zenobia Deas came home to spend her vacation during the holidays. Miss Deas is a great admirer of The Tribune. The colored hospital will soon open up which will be a God's blessing to Beaufort and the county. A fine piece of property has been secured near Bay street with a building containing ten rooms which are in first class condition. The hospital will be in charge of two trained nurses and both of the colored doctors of this city, Dr. N. J. Kennedy and Dr. C. S. Simpson. Much credit is due Miss Catherine Deveaux, Miss Tena Green, Mrs. Ida Davis, Mrs. Selena Flournoy, Mrs. B. H. Fisher and Mrs. A. J. Folk. Mrs. Mance Pinkney fell asleep January 10, 1916. Dearest friend thou hast crossed over the divide and left us. Thy loss we deeply feel, but may God who has bereaved us, our sorrow share. A friend, Mrs. C. E. Kennedy Beaufort, S. C. "East Lynn" in 5 reels at the Pastime theatre for the benefit of the colored hospital fund was played to a packed house. The manager of the Pastime, Mr. D. Mittle, deserves much credit for the per centage that he gave the colored hospital fund. Hon. J. I. Washington delivered the emancipation day address at Allendale, S. C., Monday, January 1st.

Rodgers, an old citizen of Glynn county died at his home on Albany street last Monday. Mr. Rogers had only been confined for a short time and his death was quite a shock to his many friends. He leaves a family and a host of friends to mourn his death. Mr. Chris Short was a visitor to the city on Sunday, to the pleasure of his family and friend. Mr. Wm. Williams spent Monday in Darlen on business of the O. E. S. The holidays are over and things are quiet around the city. While some are preparing for the trip North this spring, others are lining up for the 1017 journey. DR. FEREBEE TO PRACTICE AT COFFEYVILLE KANSAS Dr. Alexander R. Ferebee, late dental practitioner of this city, has decided to settle and practice at Coffeeville, Kansas. Now, where Coffeeville is, we do not affect to know to a geographical certainty, but we have a faint recollection that somewhere history has recorded that John Brown, famous at Harper's Ferry, started somewhere in "Bleeding Kansas". So, some sentimental and no little historical interest attaches to the new home of our erstwhile friend and fellow citizen. Now the little city above, "is more particularly described" as naving about 13,000 of population, 2,000 or about 15.5 per cent of whom are colored. We hope the regual doctor will THE NEW YORK TIMES have exclusive charge of the dental affairs of this 2,000. He writes, however, that his practice may extend to all near-neighboring towns within a radius of 100 miles. Personally we cannot decide upon his mathematics, but as we recall the formular for calculating the area of a circle one whose radius is 100 miles will embrace some area. Dr. Ferebee was one of those charming and congenial personalities one meets in a great while—conscientious scrupulously honest and frank, punctual to his obligations and public spirited. He had his grammar school ```markdown ``` training here, his later training at South Carolina State College, (His relative, the Hon. Thos. E. Miller, being president) and his professional training at Howard University in Washington, D. C. Unlike the prophet, "Alex" has "made good" in his home town, had taken to himself a legion of good, sound friends and had taken a leading part in the civic and religious affairs, being an officer of the Y. M. C. A. and president of the Brotherhood in his church. He had impressed his likable personality upon all classes of people in this city and we all regret to see him go. He combined a rare ability, versatility and personality—valuable assets in the business and professional world. He was without the talent of guile and hypocracy, would go out of his way to render a kindness, and thus had endeared himself to the people in a very few men can. He was a veritable dynamo in his church, exerting a very positive influence there for progress and for right; he had a clear vision of the defects of human nature, the trials which many must undergo and a very definite notion about how these might be remedied. We are not surprised to read that he passed his examinations successfully and that he won the compliments of the examining officers. We expected him to do well. He's made of the right stuff. In the field to which he goes to labor, the great West of still unexplored and unexhaustible possibilities—we believe Dr. Ferebee will have a larger field and an evergrowing opportunity for the exercise of his versatile character, and while he succeeded here, we expect him to have a more brilliant career under these new conditions of greater possibilities, and carve his name into history of the West.

Lesson II.—First Quarter, For Jan. 14, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John i, 19-34. Memory Verses, 32, 33-Golden Text, John i; 29-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When John the Baptist was questioned as to who he was he said that he was not the Christ, nor Ellijah, nor the expected prophet, but simply a voice crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord" (verses 19-23). His commission is found in Isa. xl, 3-8, where it is said that he was to prepare the way of the Lord and make straight in the desert a highway for our God and to cry, "All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field; * * the grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the Word of our God shall stand forever." The Spirit through Malachi said of him, as well as of the real Ellijah, yet to come, "Behold, I will send you Ellijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord" (Mal. iv, 5, 6). The angel Gabriel said of him to his father Zacharias, "He shall be great in the sight of the Lord, * * * and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother's womb; he shall go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Ellijah * * * to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." His father Zacharias, being filled with the Holy Spirit, said of him, "And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways" (Luke i, 13-17, 67-79). The Lord Jesus said of him, "Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist" (Matt. xl, 11). When questioned farther by the Pharisees as to why he baptized if he was not some great one, he said that there was one standing among them whom they knew not, the latest of whose shoes he was not worthy to unlose, and that while he (John) baptized with water the unknown one would baptize with the Holy Ghost (verses 24-27, 33). He is ever the same Jesus. Trust Him to baptize you with the Holy Spirit now and hear Him say, "Be it unto thee, even as thou wilt;" "Whatsoever things ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them" (Mark xl, 24). The cry of John the next day as he saw Jesus coming unto him, "Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world," was one of the greatest cries that one mortal could make to another. It would be worth while to go into all lands with that one cry, and its associated truths. It takes us not only to the foundation of the world, but before that (Rev. xiii, 8; I Pet. 1, 19, 20), for as the Lamb of God He was foreordained before the foundation of the world. It takes us to Gen. ill, 21, where we see Him with His own hand, by the shedding of blood, providing redemption clothing for Adam and Eve. It takes us to Gen. xxll, where we see the lamb dying in the stead of Isaac. It takes us to Ex. xll and all that is said of the Passover Lamb; also to the lambs of the daily morning and evening sacrifice; to Isa. llll and to passages without number concerning His being a sacrifice for our sins; then on to the Revelation, where He is called the Lamb just twenty-eight times, redeeming by His precious blood, enabling us to overcome by the same, conquering all His enemies and ours and finally associated with the Father on the throne (Rev. v, 9, 10; vill, 14; xll, 11; xvll, 14; xxll, 1, 3). As His redeemed ones we are lambs in the midst of wolves, and when we think of all He has borne for us as the Lamb of God and all the glory that awaits us as His associates we might well be willing to be killed all the day long for His sake, if only He can be glorified in us. John says that it was his commission to manifest Christ to Daniel, and it is our commission to manifest Him to the world, that the world may know Him through us. Alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh (John xvii, 21, 23; II Cor. iv, 10, 11). It would seem that John did not know Him personally until the day of the baptism at Jordan, but he had been told, "Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on Him the same is He who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost," John bare record saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him, and I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God" (verses 31-34). There must have been a knowing of Him in some sense before the baptism, for when He came to John to be baptized that day John said to Him. "I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me." So there must have been some increased revelation of Him to John after the baptism, when the heavens were opened, the Spirit descended like a dove and lighted upon Him, and the Father said from heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matt. ill, 13-17). What a contrast between John who bare record "This is the Son of God" and the devil who said so soon afterward "If thou be the Son of God" (Matt. ill, 17; iv, 3). When we are well pleased with Him in whom the Father is well pleased then the Father is pleased with us, but if we do not receive Him as Son of God we cannot be saved.

Phone 3853. 506 Hartridge St. Must Suupport Negro Enterprises We Must Overcome Racial Distrust And Indifference (By J. C. Lindsay) It has been said that no people ever amounted to very much in any particular line, whose time, for the most part, was taken up in trying to keep their neighbors from succeeding. As much as we may regret to admit it, this class of endeavor is engaged in by whole communities of certain sections of our country, the people having trained themselves to think that men and women of their own kith and kin are incapable of conducting business enterprises, similar to those operated by the other fellow. Much of the feeling of racial inferiority on the part of certain members of the race, as regard others of their own people who may be engaged in some particular line of racial uplift, whether it be in business, education, fraternal affairs or what not, is due, so we are told, to the conditions thru which our fathers had to pass in those cruel days of slavery, when they did not even own their hair upon their heads. It is said, that mistrust and racial inferiority were taught and practiced everywhere. The field Negro was taught to mistrust and tattle on the Negroes about the "great house" while the house Negroes were taught to mistrust and tattle on the Negroes who worked in the fields; hence, the business of mistrust and tattling was systematically carried on between all classes of slaves to the extent that only a few things happened, if army, that the owners and overseers did not know who was absolutely responsible for them. This backward look with reference to what is mentioned above, is only excused thru the fact, that we are simply trying to show how long a time it takes to offset the thoughts of racial inferiority by men and women of our own race and cause to be put into their places thoughts of self-help, racial-integrity, patriotism and racial-trustfulness. Indeed, we, as a race, have much for which to feel thankful, and especially is this true when we take into account the quagmires or racial mistrust through which we have had to pass. The rugged hills of prejudice over which we have had to climb, as well as many other difficult and complexed problems which the loyal men and women of the race have had to meet face to face and overcome, have only tested their strength of racial character and fitted them for the better things which they today are enjoying, such as banks, insurance companies, drug stores, dry good stores, well edited newspapers and magazines, costly and well-furnished homes, presided over by educated, refined and christian women, besides turning out every year from our various schools and colleges, scores and hundreds of educated young men and women to continue the fighting of this mighty battle of racial mistrust against which their honored fathers and mothers have been battling for all these years. With all these assets to our racial credit, why may we not enter upon our duties for 1917 with vigor, determination, real and with unflagging energy, to see to it that our banks, insurance companies, real estate dealers, merchants and in fact, all of our racial enterprise be more successful during this good year than in all of the years of the past?. In our 1917 resolution, did we remember to resolve to do more business with each other this year than we did in 1916? You still have a chance. The next meeting of the business league will be on Friday evening, January 19th. TUSKEEGE CONFERENCE CREATES INTEREST Tuskegee Inst. Ala., Dec. 30—Arrangements have just been completed here for the Health Exhibit of the National Child's Welfare Association to be presented during the session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference which is to be held her January 17th and 18th, 1917. The purpose of this exhibit is to show how the child should be cared for; how to regulate its food, clothing, bathing, etc.; and how to guard against the attacks of various diseases. This exhibit is both interesting and instructive and those who attend will carry away with them some important facts which help to safe guard the health of the child. The committee in charge of the arrangements have also been considerably encouraged over the prospects of the success of the meeting of Lady Deans and Lady Principals in the colored schools.

THINGS AS SEEN BY HARDSTEW Salina, Kans.—Well we are now into the new year, and people have started to work. Of course all will not live to see it out, but some will. Here and there comes word of some dear friend who has passed over, and still the good work goes on. As you noted from my last letter I started this year in Kansas and I am still in the state and will be for a few more days to come, but before you can read this letter I will be in another part of the world. I do not know where I was when I wrote you that last letter, but I know I have been to Topeka, and there I attended the Inter-State as I told you in my last letter. Well, getting through there I went to the city of Kansas City, and there to be on the day the year changed. I was there. In the morning I remained in for a little while and then went to church to hear Rev. D. A. Holmes preach one of his able sermons. In the afternoon I went over to the Forum. This is a meeting where the educators meet to talk about educated subjects. I accepted an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Tilford Davis and went along to hear him talk about those big subjects. Mrs. Willa Dwigginis was the president. It was her retiring time and she appointed a committee to bring in new officers. Mrs. Dwigginis is one of the women who is doing things in a way for the betterment of our people. She is a hard worker. I wish you could have heard her able address before the Inter-State. It was a state paper, and spoke right out in church to her people and to her country. Fortunately for her she is a trained woman. They tried to get through a resolution to prohibit the use of Negros in the Forum, but it fell down and did not pass. I thanked them for permitting me to remain. I cannot adopt them new fandangle names. It was a meeting well attended, and some good speeches were made including mine, for I did put on some speech there. Kansas City, Kansas is now considering the passage of a segregation law, but I am not going to talk about it now for fear I might say some cuss words. I was present in church when the year changed and then started out to see the world. I like this year very much and will not complain about it. January 1, the first thing I went to call on the real estate woman, Miss Ruth Braley, and was received into her home, and then after leaving there came down to the stable and took a wagon for Leavenworth, Kans., where I had the pleasure of seeing things. They had several receptions there, and then there was a meeting at the Baptist church. Getting through and talking to the people at night. I went to the stable and returned to Kansas City. January 2, in company with that fine singer, Mrs. Norene Davis, of Kansas City, and her friend Mrs. James Adams, we went out to Edwardsville, Kans., to be the guests of Hon. J. G. Grove, that useful man of the race, and the man who has accumulated wealth growing potatoes. Well, now he has a lovely home, I believe its erection cost $20,000. Then he is a man with a family, and they are all industrious. It would just take a whole paper to tell about him. He carried me around in a buggy showing me all of his land, all of his children that were staying at home. Some have married and gone on about their business, while others are still there helping in the potato business. Mrs. Grove is just an ideal woman in the house. Reaching there I found that Mr. Grove was on the jury, but his wife was on hand and his son Fred, and his daughter, or one of them, and then another son came. We had some time out there. But now where am I for this time? I am in the city of Salinn, Kans., and I am coming in touch with some big people. W. W. Shobe, is one of the finest men I have ever met. He was at one time so poor until he could not THE. SAVANNAH TRIBUNE poor no more. About 19 years ago, he persuaded Miss Lillian Maud Jones, a teacher at Paola to accept his hand in matrimony. She was told that she was going to starve to death, and for a while it looked that way, but this young man was ambitious, and willing to work. He shouldered his responsibility like a man with faith in himself. He went into the restaurant business, and brought clothes, served good meals and was soon on his feet. He saved his money. It wasn't long before he had bought him a home, then other property. Then he went into to the taxi cab business, and had the reputation of reliability, and this brought to him the trade of the town. is the owner of some good real estate, and he owns his own car now. He is one of the substantial men of the town and enjoys the friendship and good will of all the people. Mrs. Shobe is a woman of much learning, and a native of Kansas. She is side by side with her husband, ever ready to render any service for humanity. It is indeed a happy couple, and they own a fine home right in the most important section of the city. I have been to Hutchison, and will spend a day Dr. W. Sampson Brooks. I will have to stop here. God bless you. C. J. Hardstew NEWS FROM WASHINGTON D. C. Washington, D. C. Jan 10.—At the initial meeting of the memorial committee in charge of Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund for the new year a few changes were made in the line-up of officers. The Woman's Auxiliary was reorganized Monday night, with Mrs. D. E. Wiseman as chairman; Mrs. Grace Lucas Thompson, secretary and Mrs. R. F. Jones as treasurer. The auxiliary has issued cards for a reception, to be given at the headquarters of the committee, Tuesday evening, February 6, and they expect a large attendance. It has been pretty definitely decided to hold a public mass meeting in the interest of the memorial fund on the evening of February 15 at one of the principal churches in the city, with a number of nationally-known men and women on the list of speakers. Contributions can be left at any time with Mrs. Lincas at the headquarters. The work is to be pushed with vigor from now on. --- Waving civil service regulations and making the appointment effective at once, President Wilson last Saturday rewarded Dolley Sarrior, one of the heroes of the engagement at Carrizal, Mexico, by giving him a position as messenger in the War Department. Mr. Sarrior was a quartermaster-sergeant of Troop O, Tenth cavalry, and in that famous fire of shot and shell at Carrizal, he was wounded in the wrist when Capt. Boyd's command was ambushed by the forces of Carranza. This signal recognition of a vallant colored man, who stood to his country's flag at a moment that tried men's souls, is regarded with pleasure by all who have heard the cheering. The size of the place accorded him is not half so much as the fine spirit which prompted the giving of it. . . . Mr. James O. Bampfield, a 33d degree Mason and a member of many other notable secret orders, died December 23, at his late residence on S street. He was especially active in the work of Jonathan David Consistory No. 1, which held Kadosh midnight services over the remains December 30 at the Scottish Rite hall. The deceased was secretary-general of the Supreme Council. 33d degree Masons and was a capable officer. The funeral was held Sunday, Dec. 31. at Asbury M. E, Church, Rev. M. W Clair in charge. In addition to a large collection of meritorious verse, Mrs. Annie Lawrence Lucas, Washington's favorite poetess, has just completed an "Ode to Booker T. Washington," which has been passed upon most favorably by the library critics of the capital. The production will be read at a public meeting shortly. At its recent annual session the American Negro Academy re-elected Archald H. Grimke as president. The principle theme of the session was "Phases of the Life and Work of Frederick Douglass", and impressive addresses were delivered. Mr. Wellington A. Adams, principal of the Columbia Academy and Conservatory of Music and proprietor of the Music Bureau is to place a number of his newer compositions on the market at an early date. As an organizer of the musical forces of the District, Mr. Adams is doing a splendid work. A memorial service in honor of the late A. A. Birney was held a few weeks ago at the Howard Law School under the direction of the faculty of that institution. For more than twenty-five years Mr. Birney had been a valuable member of this faculty and was a tried and true friend of the Negro people. Addresses on the late A. A. Birney were delivered by President S.M. Newman. Howard University; Dean B. F. B. F. Leighton, of the Law School, Dr. J. E. Mooreland and Lawyer W. Justo Garter, of Harrisburgh, Pa., an alumnus of the law school. --- Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, has issued a stirring, appeal to the people of the District to do their full duty in the movement to save the Frederick Douglass Home at Anacosta and to convert it into a "mecca" for the colored Americans. A series of trial matines is being given at the local theatres of both races, with a view of promoting a taste for the cleaner variety of moving pictures, especially for the children, who are admitted free during the experiment. --- Lawyer W. Armond W. Scott, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, is to be the guest of honor at a monster function to be given shortly by the Elks of New York City at the Manhattan Casino. The new $550,000 Dunbar high school is to be dedicated next Monday evening. Commissioner Louis Brownlow will present the school to the educational authorities of the District. Rev. John Van Schalck, Jr., superintendent of the public schools, will accept the building. ```markdown ``` Judge Robert H. Terrell was the principal speaker at the emancipation celebration January 1, in Rochester, N. X., at one time the home of the late Frederick Douglass. Judge Terrell's address drew forth columns of complimentary notices at the hands of h. p. press, and several of the leading dallies carried his portrait. Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo graciously received the employees of the Treasury Department on New Year's eve, greeting each with a wish for "a happy new year". --- Mr. W. J. (Jack) Trotter, the eminent, dramatic critic and sporting writer, connected with the Indianapolis Freeman, was in the city last week en route from Indianapolis to his home in New York City. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, former register of the treasury, spent the Christmas holidays in the city. He is the best known philatolis of the race. * * * Lawyer S. A. T. Watkins of Chicago, is in the city this week, furthering the negotiations through which the Knights of Pythians hope to acquire the ownership of the True Reformers' Hall. If the Pythians secure the building it is said that extensive improvements are contemplated. The Mu-So-Lit Club is to hold its annual election of officers Friday night. Indications point to the unanimous reelection of Mr. Walter J. Singleton as president. Mr. Arlington B. Chaney, of Fall River, Mass., connected with the Fall River Line of steamers, spent the holidays with his family here. Mr. R. W. Thompson, "ye scribe" has been confined to his home this week with an attack of la grippe. A mass meeting in the interest of the proposed monument to the colored soldiers and sailors of the wars of the republic is to be held soon. Mr. F. D. Lee is actively promoting the movement and he has a bill introduced in Congress making an appropriation for such a monument. The bill is being pushed by Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri. Definite information touching the new scheme for the erection of a monument to Booker T. Washington is lacking. The secrecy with which the plans are being worked out is arousing a measure of suspicion in many quarters. Robert D. Harlan, at 1848 7th street, northwest, has filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy. The Harlan Togery was a high-class haberdasher anyd was handsomely stocked. At the close of his brilliant campaign in Cleveland, Ohio, in behalf of a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. for colored people, Dr. J. E. Mooreland was presented with a loving cup by the campaign committee as an expression of their appreciation of his valuable services. We acknowledge with thanks an invitation from Dr. R. R. Moton to attend the 26th annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference, to be held at Tuskegee Institute January 17 and 18. Dr. William L. Board and Miss Eva F. Ross and Mr. Thomas B. Cox and Miss Lula Davis were among the couples who chose the Christmas season as their mating period. M. H. MULLINEAUX JEWELER AND WATCHMAKER ALL WORK GUARANTEED 507 WEST BROAD ST. W.

Keys TO THE PUBLIC The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club takes this method of publicly acknowledging that its members appreciate in the highest degree the excellent service rendered him by those who participated on their program on Emancipation day. Each participant seemed to have been at his best. The music singing and speaking made the program the best in the history of the club. The piano solo by Miss Ione Mooroe was easily in a class by itself. Miss Meta Galloway easily captivated the audience with her solo entitled "A Perfect Day". The business address by Mr. Walter Scott was logical and well delivered. It carried with it a teaching that will long be remembered by those who heard it. We are making special mention of these three participants at this time because we wish to have them receive the same credit given those in the write-up last week, out of which these names were left to our regret, through no fault of ours. Very truly yours. Eureka Aid and Athletic Club Joseph S. Daniels, Sec'y.
