The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII NEGRO RESCUES WHITE WOMAN MORDECAI BROWN SAVES WOMAN IN GULF OF MEXICO Was Well Known Insurance Agent Of This City Mr. Mordicali Brown who left this city for Florida a little over a year ago, jumped into the hero class last Saturday by saving a white woman from drowning in the Gulf of Mexico and then bringing her dead companion to shore. Brown is a graduate of the Maple Street school, and resided prior to his departure for Florida on 31st street, west, this city. He was for a little over a year an insurance agent, being employed by the Pilgrim Health Insurance company with headquarters in the Williams' building. The story of the daring rescue which Mr. Brown made is recorded as follows in one of the daily papers of Florida: "Out beyond her depth in the gulf unable to swim and with her companion dead from a sudden attack of heart disease, Miss Freda Todd, of Camel, Ind., would have drowned in sight of many persons on the shore, at the Passa-Grille hotel, but for the bravery of Mordecai Brown, a Negro bellboy in the hotel, who went to her rescue. He swam out, with his clothes and shoes on, and brought her back to shore where she was revived. He then went in the water again and brought in the dead man, who was Charles G. Coffman, of South English, Ia. All efforts to revive him were futile although a lungmotor was used for two hours and ten minutes. It is believed that Coffman, a rich farmer, was dead when Miss Todd first saw him floating face down on the water. "That Mr. Coffman died of heart disease and was not drowned is believed to be shown by the fact that the body never sank. It was floating face down when the bellboy reached it and brought it to shore. The lungs had some water in them but were not filled as would have been the case had death been due to drowning. "Mr. Coffman and Miss Todd, who had been constant companions here for two months, went to Pass-a-Grille Saturday afternoon and after their arrival decided to go bathing. They rented suits and went into the gulf near the Pass-a-Grille hotel. They could not swim but enjoyed riding the waves. Finally they turned on their backs and floated unaware of the fact that they were being carried out into the gulf. Miss Todd suddenly noticed that Mr. Coffman was not close to her. She saw him lying on his face, making no struggle and apparently lifeless. She screamed for help. Brown was in a room on the second floor of the Pass-a-Grille hotel and heard the screams. He ran down as fast as he could. Several bathers and persons along the shore also heard the cries for help and the bathers waded in as far as they could without swimming and stood watching the man and woman. Miss Todd went under several times and finally ceased to struggle. Mr. Croffman never sank. Brown plunged in and reached the woman just as she was going down. He took her to the bathers who were in five feet of water and they took her to shore. First aid treatment was applied and Miss Todd soon recovered but her was no sign of life at all in Mr. Croffman. "The coroner's jury which investigated the death of Mr. Coffman this morning returned a verdict that he came to his death from some internal trouble. The jury was of the opinion that he died of heart failure but were not able to say positively. The jury was certain, however, that death was not due to drowning. Miss Todd appeared as a witness and seemed little the worse for her experience in the gulf." There will be an entertainment given Monday night March 26th at the residence of Mrs. Lula Burson, 403 West 33rd street for the benefit of the Dorcas Sewing Circle, of F. A. B. church, Franklin square. Mr. J. P. Brownlee, a poet who is in Savannah, is the author of a very meritorious little booklet called "Ripples." The book has received favorable comment from noted publishers and authors. He is stopping at 533 East Hall street. The price of the booklet is 25 cents. ROGER WILLIAMS SINGERS GIVE EXCELLENT CONCERT Will Fill a Return Engagement Here On April 9th The Roger Williams University Singers who appeared at the First African Baptist Church on Friday night of last week, gave one of the best student concerts ever listened to in this city. Their program was pleasing, finished and of a high order. Negro songs, of course, predominating. Among the ten members of the company were some excellent vioces especially Miss Viola Curran, chorus leader, and Miss Geneva Bender, the sololist. The three hundred odd persons who were present were very generous in their applause, Miss Bender getting the lion's share. Savannahians were pleased to note a local girl among the company, Miss Matilda Walton. The company which is in charge of Mrs. A. M. Townsend, wife of the president of the school, will play a return engagement at the F. A. B. church on Monday night, April 9th. CONGREGATIONAL EAST SIDE MISSION OPENED Work Among Neglected Children to Be Emphasized The great need for uplift work among the neglected boys and girls of the extreme north-east section of the city has been noted for quite a while. This was brought to the attention of the Congregational Brotherhood and with the assistance of the ladies of the Mothers' club of the Congregational Free Kindergarten it was decided to establish a social service mission: A building on McAllister street, near Oglethorpe avenue was secured. It has been white washed throughout. Sunday afternoons the children are given religious training. One afternoon during the week the girls are taught sewing and other afternoon games and organized play are indulged in. The children and residents of that section are entering heartily in the movement. BEAUFORT, S. C., NEWS Mrs. Fannle Wallace died at her home Washington street, Friday March 9th.

DONATIONS The trustee board and staff of Charity hospital thank Mrs. Charlotte Davis for eggs, butter and tea that she so kindly gave. Such help is very much needed, and always highly appreciated. FORT VALLEY HIGH AND The Fort Valley High and Industrial school is having an unusually successful session this year with a large attendance and increased teaching force. The annual Educational Rally Workers' Conference was well attended and discussions not only interesting but forward looking and helpful in many ways. The decision to call a conference in Macdon for the purpose of trying to secure better educational facilities for Negroes in the State is especially to be commended. The attendance upon this conference should be large and representative. The Principal states that he is already receiving many inquiries regarding summer school daily and plans are already being laid to make that feature of the work bigger and better than ever before.

Jones Addresses Urban League TELLS OF WORK THROUGHOUT COUNTRY Enthusiastic Gathering Present at League's Headquarters A representative audience composed of the executive committee, members and officers of the Urban League, and visitors, turned out Thursday afternoon at the league headquarters to hear Executive Secretary Eugene Kinckle Jones of New York, in an address on the work of the National League. Mr. Jones is an eminently practical and widely experienced man. Years of experience in social work have made him keen of observation and sound in his judgment and conclusions on social and industrial problems. These conditions make him well-qualified for his task of general supervision of the National League and its many branches throughout the country. Mr. Jones congratulated the local branch on its successful determination of several specific phases of the league's uplift program in the city and suggested lines of improvement. The particular cause of his coming was the settlement of the matter of a probation officer for Savannah, which position is created at the instance of the National League working in conjunction with the local branch and the Savannah Juvenile Court. It was at the instance of the National League, through Mr. Jones, that an appropriation for salary for the work was made by the Phelps-Stokes Foundation. The local branch will supply the balance of salary for the first year. Those in charge are now seeking an efficient officer. Mr. Jones reported unusual activity throughout the country, in various city centers, in social work, the many branches of the Urban League taking an active interest and many new branches being formed. He told particularly of the successful efforts of the Chicago and Detroit branches. He urged upon the people the importance of efficiency and preparedness, along all lines, as the only satisfactory means of meeting and competing with the various industrial, economic and social conditions of the day. Pres. Johnson reported on the establishment of the social center in Yama-caw. A home of seven rooms has been remodeled and repaired, furnished equipped, and will be used to take care of the general uplift activities of the local work in that neighborhood. Mrs. Rachel Moore is directing the work assisted by her committee of Sunshine workers and Misses Robertson and McDowell who have been laboring there for several months. The property embraces a large yard which will be used for yard gardens and playgrounds. It is expected that great good will result from this work in Yama-caw and that the cause will win many friends to the work. During the day prior to the meeting, Mr. Jones was carried over the city to inspect the various features of the local work and to the Juvenile Farm where Mrs. Moore is doing such ex- VIOLA LANZEY SLAIN BY TOM GREEN Murder Took Place Early Saturday Morning Viola Lanzey of 411 34th street, west, was cut to death about.4 o'clock last Saturday morning by Tom Green, alias Tom Bowen. Her throat was slashed from ear to ear. While there were no eye witnesses to the murder, evidences point to Green who, it is said, is a frequent visitor to the Lanzey woman's house. Since the occurrence, the slayer has not been seen and is still at large. A family living in the house where the deed was committed testifies that prolr to the killing they heard someone in the adjoining room talking in a low voice and a short while afterwards they were attracted by the screams of the woman. Coming out to investigate they found the woman lying on the bed with blood gushing from her throat the police were hurriedly notified of the affair and upon their arrival found the woman dead. The killing caused much excitement in the neighborhood. It is understood that Green has served a three years sentence for cutting the throat of his wife on the Ogeechee road sometime ago. DR. LaFAYETTE OPENS DENTAL PARLORS Dr. Albert S. LaFayette opened during the week dental parlors on the second floor of The Tribune building, West Broad and Waldburg lane. Dr. LaFayette's parlors are equipped with the very latest dental appliances and he is in every respect well prepared to serve his patrons. Dr. LaFayette is a native Savannahian who after finishing the public schools here took the dental course at Howard University where he graduated last year. Since his graduation Dr. LaFayette has practiced under some of the best known dentists in the North. PATTI BROWN PLEASES Small But Appreciative Audience Attend Concert Heralded as the greatest singer of her race of all times, Madame Arilta Pattl Brown, of Chicago, measured fully up to expectations in the concert at First Bryan Baptist Church, last Tuesday night. Pitifully small was the crowd that turned out to hear this remarkably ambitious young soprano of still more wonderful voice. Madame Brown sings with equal grace and ease throughout the whole gamut of the best coloratura sopranos—and with a melody and becoming dignity of bearing. Madame Brown has been enthusiastically received in South America, Cuba and other island territories recently, in many places appearing before the governmental officials and dignitaries by request. She deserved a packed house in Savannah, being by far the greatest exponent of the art of singing that people of this section are privileged to hear. Miss Lee, at the plano, lived well up to what had been expected of her as accompanist. The concert was staged under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. TOLLIVER "SMART SET" COMING The colored aristocrats of the big show business, the great Tolliver "Smart Set" in the big tent at 32nd and West Broad streets will be the big event starting Monday night March 26. The big show comes to Savannah this year with the greatest array of performers even seen in one show, as this show carries 100 performers of the highest class. The big show only charges 10 cents admission and always packs the big tent to the doors on every visit here. As the show is entirely new this season enormous crowds will no doubt witness every performance throughout the engagement which is for one week only. The local league, through its health committee of which Mr. D. J. Scott is chairman, is planning to arouse the colored people of the city to a successful observance of Health Week, April 22-29. As outlined by Mr. Scott, it is desired that the message of good health shall be brought to every congregation and community in the city, through the churches and by open-air meetings. Many new members were brought into the league. The members of the Sunshine committee and Willing Workers are asked to meet Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the social centre. 04 Joachum street. --- .

Church, Charles and West Broad streets, and Rev. R. V. Branch, the pastor, will preach the sermons.

Goette with a force of men, has been busy at the East Side Colored playground, installing several new and up-to-date pieces of additional equipment. Mr. Gottes has manifested sincere interest for the care and instruction of the colored children in this matter of playgrounds. Since the city's appropriation he has not allowed the matter to lag; on the contrary, he has been seeking after a suitable site for a playground in Yamaecaw and has been dividing how most economically to spend the appropriation for these purposes. He has in mind to do for the west side what is being done on the east side. On the east side he will provide a large shed with seats, and a great sand-box thereunder, for the fots in hot weather, and a hydrant and hose in the centre of the grounds. Besides swings, courts etc, he is having built in one of the shops of the city a large "slide" for the grounds. Next week, Mr. Goette will go with the officers of the Urban League to look up other sights on the west side, having failed to get those already sought after. The interest which the city Recreation Commission is manifesting in this work among colored people, through Mr. Goette, is very gratifying and very hopeful of the future. The Urban League has appointed an advisory board for the playgrounds, with Mrs. J, R. Davis as chairman, whose duty will be to assist in furthering the interests of playground and recreation work and in keeping the work up to a worthy standard. The advisory committee will meet with Mrs. Davis during the next week to take hold of its work. It is expected that Director Goette will address the committee outlaying the great possibilities within its sphere. PAGE TWO BACK TO THE FLUFFY AFTERNOON FROCK Dainty .Lingerie Dresses to Share Honors with Sports Clothes KIMONO STYLES ARE IN AGAIN New York, March 19—The fluffy afternoon frock is to divide honors with sports clothes this season. While we know that sports clothes are all-important, that their charms are indeed legion, and that no woman who considers herself as having the least pretensions to be fashionable will be woutout a goodly assortment of them this year; yet, in spite of all this, we must acknowledge that there is a touch of severity about them that creates a craving for the contrast of dainty, frilly, frocks. © MCCALL A Charming Way of Developing the New Bordered Fabrics There comes a time in the life of even the most ardent devotee of sports when one must relax, and it is at these times that the feminine longing for dainty, picturesque frocks, meat solely to make one as bewitching as possible, must, be satisfied. And so, for the delight of the feminine heart, there are the most irresistible creations of sheer silk volles, soft chiffon, and crepes, to tay nothing of the abundant variety of cotton volles, marquis-etts and swisss that are offered this year. Silk marquisette is combined with charmeuse in many dainty dresses of the more elaborate kind. The finer material takes, seemingly, the less important part, but it really is quite important, forming the background, as it were, to bring out the sheer material to great advantage. It may be used in a band at the edge of the skirt and in touches on collar and cuffs, or it may be used for a skirt with a long overdress of the sheer material falling over it. Georgette crepe is another of the dainty materials employed in this manner. The crepe de Chine dress is to come L. Youthful Evening Frock with Puffed Skirt Youthful Evening Frock with Puffed Skirt in for more attention than it has had for a long time. Crepe de Chine is to be one of the most popular fabrics for spring and summer dresses. No one will regret investing in a dress of this material, seeing that it has so many advantages, among them that of being a material which can be laundered very successfully. When so many of the present materials must be dry-cleaned, a dress which can be laundered and look just as fresh as new is a great boon to those whose income do not permit of many extravagances. Among the fashionable designs used in dress materials, borders appear very frequently. The border fabric with a design scattered all over the surface is one of the most striking of the new effects. Borders on plain materials have been used largely before, and they are again favored this season, but the border around an allover design is the very newest fashion. Both the embroided and the printed effects are looked upon with favor. The colors show the same tendencies not d in the other spring and summer materials; that is, they are quite gray and often combined several bright tones. One of these fascinating bordered fabrics is illustrated in the sketch of an afternoon dress for a young girl. This show by far the simplest and not the least effective way of using such materials. The border goes around the bottom of the skirt, and makes the belt, and a strip of it is applied around the bottom of the edge of the sleeves, forming a veritable frame for the figure. Kimono Styles and Short Sleeves The designers have returned to kimono sleeves and the body-and-sleeve-in one effect. Many of the new blouses and dresses are made in these styles; and a good many show the short sleeves, which have a fair promise of being taken up for spring and summer, though not to the exclusion of long sleeves. The most favored type of long sleeve at present is fitted closely from the elbow to the wrist. At the elbow, or above it, there is fullness, the sleeve being shaped in a point extending away from the elbow. A feature of the new skirts which appear to be very acceptable is the puff at the lower edge produced by a gathering of the edge to a foundation. Evening dresses are especially graceful in this style, whether made of taffeta, satin, chameuse or the other soft silks. This is a very delightful effect for young girls and is used very frequently for their party frocks. The illustration shows how full of charm are misses' deal of this charm lies in the simplicity. The model is developed in soft rose charmeuse, with chiffon of the same shade embroidered with gold threads forming the simple little bodice among the other evening colors which, Orchid and sea-foaming green are make exquisitely pretty frocks for the younger set. Fans, slippers and stockings to match the dress are some of the details which one should be mindful of in planning party frocks to be in perfect harmony. A. U. DEFEATS MOREHOUSE 15-2 By Albert Edwards And it came to pass on Saturday, which is the last day of the week and the seventeenth day of the month, that the host of Atlanta University went out to do battle in baseball with the host of Morehouse. And there was gathered together a great multitude to see the men of Atlanta do battle, for it had been noised abroad that Cade, surnamed Ding Bust, the captain of the host of Atlanta, had got him men of strength, quick of eye and fleet of foot, that he would lead forth to meet the sons of Morehouse. And it came to pass on the night before the battle that a rain feel so that there was much softness of earth. And the battle must needs be waged on the field of Morehouse. Now when the multitude was gathered together upon the hill over against the way that leads to West End, a great shout and a tumult arose from all those there assembled because as the tide of battle rose the sons of Atlanta scored repeatedly upon the sons of Morehouse, who never so much as covered the first base of Atlanta. And so it was until the fifth inning when the score of Atlanta mounted upward unto eleven while the sons of Morehouse in a long inning scored only two. Thenceforth the sons of Atlanta made merry, and even the daughters thereof were glad and there was much emulation and clapping of hands. And so the battle raged but ever against Morehouse. When the game far spent, Maddox who tossed the sphere for Morehouse, grew weary and was taken from the box, whereupon came another tall son of Morehouse whose name is Goodlow, but Atlanta did unto him even as it had done upto Maddox. For a short season Morehouse was lifted up in spirit, when lo! there appeared at the bat a mighty son of Atlanta called Jefferson whose surname is Slugger. He smote the ball unto the uttermost length of the field. Then there came following in his footsteps. Cade and Maxwell and Sinquefield from the city of Albany, and Hodges from the land of Texas. And these were all quick of eye and fleet of foot.4 Now when the day was far spent and there was no longer sound of drums and trumpets and timbrels from the sons of Morehouse. It came to pass that the host of Atlanta raised a great shout of triumph and they waved their banners and clapped their hands for joy, but the sons of Morehouse spake never a word. And the multitude that was gathered together said one to another, "What is this that has come to pass this day before our eyes?" And they marveled. But the scribe whose name is Sherard said unto them, "Friends, I say unto you, marvel not, for what has come to pass this day ye shall see again; for verily here is the score of them who did hit and of them who hit not." And they read, and low! the number of the sons of Atlanta who did run round about of all the bases was 15 and the number of Morehouse was 2. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES The baseball team lost to Atlanta University last Saturday. They got a genuine flogging. It came near being a duplicate of what A. U. received at our hands five years ago when they were beaten 15 to 0. Next Saturday we play Morris Brown on their campus. We see ahead and prophecy better and brighter days for the team than the last game indicated. The class of '17 is now beginning preparations for commencement. The class is ten in number. In it are the longest resident students of the school. The latest member of the class started five years ago. The members are scattered from Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and South America. The class contains two aspirants to the ministry, three to the medical field, four to teaching and one to Y. M. C. A. work. The class of '17 has made a noise as it passed through, and a great deal is expected of it in the future. The date of the debate is April 13th. We debate against Knoxville at home and on the same night against Taladega at Talladega. A CALL FOR CONFERENCE AND ACTION Fort Valley, Ga.—At the Workers' Conference held at the Fort Valley High and Industrial School, following the Seventh Annual Educational Rally, the subject for discussion was "What Can the Negro Do to Influence the Establishment of State and District Agricultural Schools for Negroes?" There was a full and free discussion of the subject and general agreement on the following points: 1. That there is great need for such schools. 2. That by the lack of any united effort on the part of the Negroes of the state to obtain such institutions, we ourselves are largely to be blamed for not having secured them. 3. That a united effort embracing all classes of Negroes professional and business men, from the minister to the farmer, will result in securing some favorable consideration from state officials. 4. That now is the time for beginning a movement with this object in view. It was decided that such a movement should be begun and the undersigned were asked to act as a committee to issue a call for a meeting of representative Negro citizens to be held in the Pythian Temple, Macen, Ga., 11:00 a.m., Friday May 4, 1917, for the purpose of forming such organization and taking such action as seems best for the educational interest of the Negroes of this state. Besides Macon's central location, the Georgin Educational Association will be in session there at that time and special rates can be secured on all railroads. We believe that there is urgent need of such action as outlined above and earnestly solicit not only your interest but your assistance in securing the co-operation of newspapers, representatives from churches, schools, lodges and other organizations and individuals, in short, of any one and every one interested in the progress of our people and in having them share more largely in the benefits of both state and federal funds for education. Please send a line to the chairman stating whether or not we may count upon your co-operation and offering any suggestion which in your opinion will prove helpful in making such a meeting a success.

Among the Masons Masonry Above Strife Antiquity, perpetuity and serenity are among the most distinguished attributes of Freemasonry. Rooted in the past, it has the veneration always enjoyed by respectable age. It is natural to associate worth with what is old. The imagination is ever excited by any institution that emerges from the shrouded dawn of tradition. Then, the fact that Freemasonry has endured gives it esteem. It wears the weighty garments of the centuries, bear the burden of unnumbered years, and yet stand crext and intact, what strength it implies! To see the material works of man stattered, to witness the fall of empires, to view the death of succesive generations, to with stand the shock of time, to buffet the elements and defy decay, this, this means immortality. Behold a mountain! How serene it is! Let it stand by the surging sea and yet it is neither bowed or bruised by the restless billows that beat against its base and it regards them dot. Let it arise from the plain, and yet it is unscathed by the shifting sands, nor does it mind the agitation of the earth. Clouds fly in battalions about its breast, torrents spill their reservoirs of rain, lightning discharges its dread artillery, avalanches rumble by, and yet the mountain lifts in calm its sunlit summits through the blue dome of heaven toward the silent and shining pathway of the stars. This is serenity. Masonry is like the mountain. The mutation of mundane existence do not ruffle it. Man frets, but Masonry is composed. The fury of faction disturbs it not. It attacks no religion, sides with no party. It is known by fruits, not by flights. Noiselessly it enters the heart and mind of humanity. As all pervading and powerful as gravitation, it is as unseen. It permeates life, but belongs to eternity.—The Masonic Light. Masonic Pride To be proud of being a Mason is commendable, particularly if the pride is of the right sort. We have seen some who have traveled a long way up, and yet were not very high Masons, after all. They had degree knowledge, but precious little of the old baptism. They were proud of being Masons because of its personal honor, and yet they made no efforts to build up the institution itself. What it had done for them they were well enough pleased with—but what they could do for it they had never yet tried.—The Masonic News. --- Each Master Symbolically has passed through "the shadow of death." If he is a true master of himself he has learned to subdue his passions and desires. When he passes beyond the "shadow of death," at the end of his life existence, he will "fear no evil" because he can lean on the staff of the Divine Guide and joyfully enter into the inner chamber of immorality where no shadow comes to obscure the light of eternal bliss—Masonic Light. An Unjust Criticism A brother who recently took his degree said the other day that he was very much disappointed in Freemasonry because he had found in the fraternity some members who were not consistent and who disregarded their obligations. This criticism, while well man and just, forgetting the fact that Freemasonry, forgetting the fact that the same objection can be made against any human society. Even the church is not without its recruits, and it is beyond dispute that we have them in Freemasonry. How, when or where a remedy for this condition will be found we are unable at the present time to answer. A careful guarding of the ballot will, of course, do a great deal toward keeping the unworthy from our assemblages but unfortunately the greed for numbers is greater than the desire for excellence, and as we are constituted at present it is scarcely worth while to look for a correction of the present condition in the ballot. If you and I stay away from lodge, and when we occasionally visit, find that our neighbor, whom we know to be unworthy has received his degrees, what right have we to complain when a responsibility which rests upon each member of the craft has been evaded. Each year the tendency is to make Freemasonry more popular; from an exclusive society it is rapidly descending to the plain of mediocrity; the present requisite for membership being largely a matter of producing the necessary fee and a clear manipulation of the ballot. As long as this condition prevails we will find those in our midst who are not distinguished by sincerity and plain dealing and who are branded with the heresy of Cain.—Illinois Freemason. Freemasonry in Practice Fremasonry exists in practice rather than in knowledge. It is a possession. It is not a knowledge of signs and pass words, but a conception of principles, unfolded by degrees in a sympathetic manner as the capacity to apprehend opens to the neophite. Masonry is a growth. The secrets of Masonry, the workings of the lodge room, passwords and whatnots of the craft might be publicly proclaimed and nothing of value reach the ears of the man whose heart attuned to worldly pursuits responds to Masonic evolutions. Masonry is considered the parent body of all secret societies, although it has no imitators. Societies having been plagiarized for form and usages, but the Masonle order stands alone; as for centuries in the exemplification of those principles which are peculiarly Masonle.The Square and Compasses. In Memory GREENE—In sad but loving memory of our devoted son and brother Hartwell S. Green, who departed this life March 22, 1912, in New York City. Gone but not forgotten. How mournful seems, in broken dreams The memory of the day When icy death sealed the breath Of one dear form of clay. When pale, unmoved, the face we loved The face we thought so dear. And the hand lies cold, whose fervent hold Once charmed away despair. Oh! there at last, life's trials past, We'll meet our loved once more. Whose feet have trod the path to God, "Not lost, but gone before." DANIELS-In loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Susan A Daniels, who viewed her home and took her flight on March 20, 1916. Just one year ago dear mother, since you left us, though it seems many times as long. Our hearts are still yearning for you, but oh, just to think that it will be like this for all time makes it hard for us to bear Mother we miss your gentle counsel and many days we have wished for you, but we feel that Jesus took you where no more sickness, sorrow, pain or death are felt and feared no more, so we how in humble submission to His will for you taught us when little children that Jesus doeth all things well, for the pains of death are past labor and sorrow cease, and life's long warfare closed at last, thy soul is found in peace. Your loving children. Your loving children. Mrs. A. L. Harrison, Barnwell, S. C. Mr. G. W. Wilson, Bamberg, S. C. Mrs. W. N. Legare, Savannah Mrs. H. S. Stimmons, Savannah Mr. G. I. Daniels, Bamberg, S. C. Mr. H. A. Daniels, Bamberg, S. C. FERGUSON—In memory of my dear husband, Alexander Ferguson, who died in Philadelphia, Pa., March 2, 1917. Life is like a mountain railroad With an engineer that's brave; You must make the run successful, From the cradle to the grave. Watch the curves that fill the tunnel. Never falter never quail, Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. You will roll up grades of trials. You will cross the bridge of strife; See that Christ is your conductor, On this lighting train of life; Always mindful of obstruction. Do your duty never fall, Keep your hand upon the trotle And your eye upon the rail. You will often find obstructions, Look for storms of wind and rain, And on hill or curve or trestle, They will almost ditch your train; Put your trust alone in Jesus, Never falter, never fail, Keep your hand upon the trottle And your eye upon the rail. As you roll across the trestle, Spanings-Jordan's swelling tide, You behold the union depot Into which your train will glide, There you'll meet the superintendent, God the Father, God the Son, With the hearty joyous plaudit, Weary pilgrim welcome home. Blessed Saviour, Thon will guide us Till we reach that blessful shore. Where the angels wait to join us, In Thy praise for evermore. Mrs. Alexander Ferguson, wife, Philadelphia, Pa. Richard Ferguson, son, Savannah, Ga. JONES—In sad but loving memory of our dear mother Sarah Jones who departed this life March 10, 1916. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. TAYLOR—In loving remembrance of my devoted brother, Mr. Sam Taylor, who departed this life March 23, 1916, S o'clock on Easter Sunday night. Servant of God well done. Rest from thy love employ; The battle fought the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy. The vole at evening came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame, He fell, but felt no fear. The pains of death are past. Labor and sorrow cease; And life's long warfare closed at lust, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done, Praise be thy new employ. And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour's joy. A devoted sister, Mrs. Mamle T. Lee POPE-In sad but loving memory of our dear father who departed this life March 21, 1916, for a better life beyond. Dead! Do you say that he is dead? Take back the word, it is not true. An empty cage, you might have said, Has lost the singer that we once knew; The song rose level with the stars, That charmed us even in prison bars. But dead! There can be no such word For that which was serenely bright, Made in the image of the Lord, An effluence from the central light, An imbreathed essence from on high. A heaven-lit spark that could not die. Not dead, but free—he soars above The limit of our lesser scope. And we, because we shared his love May cherish the uplifting hope That life to us is more, by just His altitude above our dust. Then say not he is of the dead. 'Tis only we in ceremonies dim. Who fall of life around over head: But say it never more of him Whom death to livier joys called. Who lives among us disenthralled. Where are thou, darling father? Like a bell Rising most sweetly down the broad Abyss which gaps' twist heaven and time It taketh on, a loftier swell: It whispers, "Love, somewhere with God." Daughters: Mrs. H. J. Lampkin Eastman, Ga. Miss Florine Pope. New York, N. Y. Miss Ella Pope Miss Sarah Pope Miss Maggie Pope Miss Julla Pope Miss Alice Pope Sons: Mr. William Pope Mr. Arthur Pope Mr. Herbert Pope Master James Jope Julian Pope SCOTT—In sad but loving remembrance of our sister, Edmania Scott, who departed this life March 15, 1917. Sister Scott was a most loyal member of S. L. Harris Court No. 408 O. O. C., a devout christian and a true and loving member. Nothing but acts of kindness sweet words of comfort and consolation strew her pathway. She bore her sickness patiently always saying, "I will trust in the Lord and all will be well." Indeed a beautiful life is ended but our loss is heaven's gain. Sleep on dear sister peaceful sleep from which none over wakes to weep. Resolved: That we express our feeling of sorrow and tender our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and how our heads in humble submission to His divine will. ...Resolved further: That we spread these resolutions on the face of the minutes and a copy be sent to the bereaved family. With silence only as their benediction God's angels come MURRAY—In sad but loving memory of our loved one, Wellington L. Murry, who departed this life March 24th, 1916. Some day we say and turn our eyes toward the fair hills of paradise. Some day sometime a sweet new rest will blossom flowers like in each breath. Some day smoetime our eyes shall see the face that's kept in memory. Some day our hands shall clasp his hand just over in the morning land. Father and mother.

Murray ST. PHILIP A. M. E. CHURCH The pastor Dr. R. V. Branch preached at both morning and evening services. At each service the attendance was good and interest ran high. Miss Alma Tyson explained the lesson picture in Sunday school. Tomorrow the superintendent will be assisted in conducting the review by Mr. F. H. Titomas. The rally was indeed a success, as more than two thousand dollars was reported Sunday night. The result will be more gratifying as there are a few of the 100 captains yet to report and also most of those having reported Sunday night will in all probability have their reports supplemented. Tomorrow will be "rushday," at St. Phillip as the courts of Calanthe will worship at the church at the morning hour and the Pythians in the afternoon. Sunday school will begin tomorrow at 2:45 and officers are requested to be on time. HIS INVENTION PATENTED Wm. D. Polite, Head Waiter at a Char- lotte Hotel, in Limelight Wilmington friends of William D. Polite, for many years popular head waiter at the Arton hotel in this city, will be interested in learning that he has succeeded in getting his invention of an anti-aircraft gun patented. The Star last year carried an account of his invention, which created much interest. Polite after the close of the season at the Oceanic hotel at Wrightsville beach last year moved to Charlotte. Speaking of his invention Wednesday's Charlotte Observer says: "This story concerns the invention of an anti-aircraft war gun by a Negro citizen of North Carolina. The inventor is William D. Polite, head waiter at the Selwyn Hotel. "The Invention bears the patented number 1218458, and the final papers were received yesterday morning from Washington. "Polite has been waiting 18 months for the ripening of his hopes, and now he is a very happy man. "During these 18 months, the interest has been enlisted of Representative Godwin and of Senators Simmons and Overman and through them of Secretaries Daniels and Baker. "What the government will do with the latest war gun Invention, the patent on which was officially dated March 6, remains to be decided." "Meenwhile, the fact remains that should the gun prove the success that is claimed for it by known ones in Washington, North Carolina can lay claim to the man and the gun. "This Negro comes by his name, Polite, from his Huguenot descent. He is a Charletonian, having been born in 1807, October 5. His people have been Carolinians for generations. When asked by the Observer man how he came to go in for this sort of thing, he said he had in his veins the best fighting blood of South Carolina, and when this war broke out, he naturally went to something warlike. The truth is, as the Observer man happens to know, Polite's forebearers were distinguished in the fighting game, and he knows it, and is proud of it, without mentioning any names. "Politic, well educated, remained in South Carolina until a few years after his majority, when he came to North Carolina—Wrightsville Beach, to be explicit. Since then, for some sixteen years, he had been a resident of Wilmington until six months ago, he became head waiter of the Swymen. Everybody knows 'William,' but few know him as the inventor of the latest anti-aircraft gun, with a formal patent issued to him yesterday in proper red-tape governmental form. "Politic's interests are in suitable hands and will be managed to the best advantage."—Morning Star. MECHANIC WANTED A first-class, all-round automobile repair man wanted to work in repair shop.

Entered at the Post Office at Savan- ah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Saturday March 24th, 1917 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DO THEMSELVES HONOR It would be basely neglegent and unappreciative if the colored people of this community did not express their great appreciation to the County Commissioners for the splendid work that body is doing for the delinquent Negro youth of the community. The people of Savannah cannot arise to a full sense of appreciation of what is being done at the Juvenile Farm, without actually paying the farm a visit. Several new departmental building are now in process of erection, built with a view to comfort, convenience and sanitation, fitted for training, recreation and spiritual inspiration, just exactly the requisites for such a place of reform and correctional influence. The new sanitary conveniences, lavatory and baths, are modern and up-to-date and will go a long way in the work of physical and moral growth and betterment; the provision for study and play, both of which are so necessary in the plan of helpful influence, are just what they should be; and the additional provision for dormitories, dining room and kitchen are all in line with a generously high ideal. Every thing about the place indicates that the good men who are directing it have a full vision of the great responsibility and duty of the county to its wayward and backward children. These children who find themselves in the toils of the law from trivial offenses and misbehavior, doubtless are "more sinned against than sinning." Demoralizing and depraved home environment will account for practically every case. Child psychology has taught that under like conditions children of all descentency behave in the same ways, and much as other nature forms, are largely the creatures of their environments. Without, the chance to be upright, without the opportunity to learn the essentials of honesty and reliability, it would be unreasonable and exceptional if these unfortunate little human souls manifested a healthy and righteous growth,it would be unnatural. The county is here trying to supply that opportunity, trying to give the tender shoot the chance to grow by tran-planting it into more favorable soil, and the county is going to succeed. It will get large returns for its investment. In addition to the above excellent equipment the county officials have placed in charge at the farm a superintendent, Mr. S. P. Brazel, who seems to have the temperament and human insight which a man in that capacity should possess. He seems to have been particularly well selected; he is splendidly qualified. Mrs. Moore, the matron, in her capacity has wrought wonders there. Her wide experience in re-claim and social work has asserted itself in an entirely new atmosphere from what formerly obtained at the farm. The place no longer smacks of the prison, but resembles the great training school which it is intended to be. In Mrs. Moore, one sees what the dynamic influence of one real, broad-visional personality may be. Her plan of direct contact and individual treatment of the problems and cases there has already borne good fruit. The whole plant—the ensemble, makes up a worthy and far reaching influence, attacking the problems of a great city and county at the root, and this people, white and black may well be proud of it. Surely, one good example is more eloquent—and more helpful—than present piled upon present. May we all look forward to the day, perhaps near at hand, when alongside of and under the same kind guidance and jurisdiction, there will be a similar provision for the hundreds of wayward girls of the race in this city, and which constitute, if possible, an even more serious problem. We are hopeful. BUILD THE OLD FOLKS HOME Nothing indicates the quality of a people's civilization more than the care which that people, provides for its poor, its aged, its infirm and its dependent element. People of high and cultured civilization reflect it by the great numbers of eleemosynary institutions they establish—hospitals, asylems, homes for dependents, reformatories, libraries, social centres, etc. People, of little vision, lacking in humanitarianism and philanthropy, have no interest in such charity, feel no duty to the unfortunate, have not caught the spirit of the Great Teacher, cannot have judged His life fairly and correctly. Now, Savannah, like too many cities in the land, is conspicuous for its lack of sufficient and creditable institutions of this kind. We have no home for the aged and infirm—and we must having many dependents in the city We have no place for delinquent and wayward girls—and the courts are at present and continually embarrassed by the great number that are caught in the toils of the law. We have no thoroughly modern and well equipped hospital facilities—though scores need their comforts and service daily. No one will claim that these conditions are worthy of a city like Savannah; no one will say that the task of providing these should not be undertaken, some how, by somebody. Of all these dire needs, the most pressing and urgent is that of an old folk's home—comfortable, cheerful bountifully supplied with the things which would make those who have reached "the afternoon of life" happy and content. We know many persons, aged and without support save for an irregular and patronizing casual charity who deserve a better lot than is theirs. Misfortune of one sort and another has brought them to their plight and made them a care upon the charity of others. The causes matter little,—the duty is ours and the state's. Some effort has been made in this direction, and it is praiseworthy and commendable,—but we must go on,—we must not-let the matter lag longer, we must build the old folk's home. To criticize and find fault with this and that about the matter as it stands will accomplish nothing, and it does not become a worthy man to do so. Come into the problem and help to work it out. Laudable as are the various other movements before the public, none can surpass this matter of the Home for Old Folks, none can equal it in necessity. To build it means sacrifice and devotion to the cause; it cannot be built with "chips and whet stones." The colored men of means in Savannah—and there are a good many—must themselves, if necessary, make the sacrifice, whatever it may be, and build the old folk's home. Whatever may be necessary to enliven and arouse the movement should be done; whatever of reorganization, if any, necessary to win the working support of the public should be effected at once. We cannot wait on the other people to pick up our burdens; we must have the piety and independence and the high sense of duty that become us. We must not wait longer, while so many of these dear old souls, most of them worn out in honest service and sacrifice for others—mayhap for an ungrateful child—lie like so many wrecks about our great city. So many of these people are literally forced to take the street begging to sustain themselves. Here they mix with many others begging, many of whom are less deserving than themselves, and the public cannot distinguish. The whole practice is obsolete, embarrassing and contemptuous—embarrassing for donor and recipient. It deserves to be blotted out forever. Philadelphia, Pa.—Charles Edward Russel, author and Socialist, praises France because "the narrow, blind hatred of race prejudice is unknown there." Mr. Russel spoke on "Race Prejudice" in the Broad Street Theatre under the auspices of the Socialist Literary Society. The speaker declared race prejudices were rampant in this country and decried the tendency of the white race to consider itself superior to other races of the world. This country, he said, was constantly bungling the Negro problem. He denounced the lynchings in the southern states, and added: "Unless race prejudices are eliminated in this country the crust of the yokano on which we are sitting will give way very soon." "France," continued Mr. Russel, "has given the Negro true citizenship. In France liberty, equality and fraternity are not hollow mockeries and empty dreams. In the Chamber of Deputies black men sit side by side with whites. France has never designed to draw a color line. The Negroes rallied to France's colors when she was threatened. But what if we had a war here and needed our Negro citizens? What if, when we called for them, they answered: THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE truthfully enough: 'You have oppressed us; you have killed our men, women and children; you have shown us no justice in your courts; you have trampled us down. We will not fight for you!' Would not the Negro be justified? But we know the Negro in his loyalty will fight for us despite our great injustice to him. There is no national safety for this country except in strict adherence to "liberty, equality and fraternity." JUDGE ABERNATHY'S OPINION OF THE NEGRO Birmingham, Ala.—Judge H. B. Abernathy, of the municipal court of Jefferson county, caused a sensation at a session of the Alabama Sociological Congress by remarks on the Negro gro question: "God Almighty made them tohew wood and draw water," said Judge Abernathy, "and I am opposed to educating them. Booker T. Washington has done more harm in Alabama than tuberculosis." Judge Abernathy explained in opening his speech that his opinions were not a matter of theory but they were the result of dealing with Negroes both on and off the bench. ch. Respectfully submitted, a difference in Cyril A. Parks gro nature as C. W. Hearns of limberger Clifford Wadkins oses," he said. Committee "There's just as much difference in human nature and Negro nature as there is between the smell of limberger cheese and a bunch of roses," he said. "I believe in keeping him on the farm. For once, the Negro hears the tune of an automatic piano he loses all taste for the mocking bird, and he'd rather smell sewer gas than new-mown hay." Deaths Benjamin DeLyons Judge Abernathy created further commotion when he declared that any man in his right mind, and who isn't hungry who commits an offense will do it again. "If a normal man is guilty of murder I believe in hanging him," he said. Prominent sociologists and prison reform advocates were here, and many of them made replies to Jude Abernathy. There may be some excuse for not dealing with our race along some commercial lines but there is no excuse for not banking with our own race. The service is even better because we know one another personally. The courtesy extended to you is far better than the white banks offer you, the rate of interest is the same, compounded semi-annually; the security of your deposit is protected just as well as other banks so there is no excuse whatsoever for not patronizing our own color along this line. By patronizing we do not mean to use our banks for a medium of cashing checks on white banks because they are closed or because it is too far to walk to them, nor do we mean to carry your small accounts which serve as a clerical burden without any benefit to the bank, but put your "big money" in there and let it stay thus elevating yourself in the respect of your race and saying to the other race you have confidence in the ability of your own people to handle the affairs of our race with honesty and integrity, for truly the advancement of a race or nation is measured by the confidence it has in itself. Your ability to earn money is no sign of advancement if you have not race pride or sense enough to invest that money wisely so that it may remain in the race and benefit the race. We will forgive you this time if you are guilty, but please, see that you discontinue the same.—Herald.

Lesson XII.—First Quarter, For March 25, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John xiv, 1-14—A Quarterly Review—Golden Text, John xiv, 6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—Jesus the life and light of men, John i, 1-14. Golden Text, John i, 4, "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." The opening words of the lesson are away beyond us, high as heaven—what can we do? (Job xl, 8.) But in verse 14 He comes near to us, becomes one of us and reveals unto us the Father, and, seeing and knowing Him, we see and know the Father (chapter xiv, 9). Lesson 11.-John the Baptist and Jesus, John 1. 19-34. Golden Text, John 1. 29. "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world." John was to Jesus at His first coming what the real Elijah will be at His second coming in glory, for the great and dreadful day of the Lord is still future, and Mal. iv. 5, stands, according to Matt. xvii. 11. LESSON III—First disciples of the Lord Jesus, John i, 3551. Golden Text, John i, 43, "Jesus saith unto Him, Follow Me." John's second testimony turned men away from him to Jesus, and that was his alm, as it should be ours. Andrew and the unnamed other one, having spent the day with Jesus, quickly brought their brothers to the Messiah, whom they had found, and Philip brought Nathanael, who confessed Christ as Son of God and King of Israel. LESSON IV.—Reverence, of Jesus for His Father's house, John ii, 13-22 Golden Text, Matt. xxl, 13. "My house shall be called a house of prayer." By no means omit the marriage and the water changed to wine and the marriage of the Lamb which will precede the kingdom. Then shall follow Israel's great cleansing, according to Ez. xxxvl, 25. LESSON V.—Jesus the Saviour of the world, John iii, 1-12. Golden Text, John iii, 16. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." Even the most religious and moral man cannot see or enter the kingdom unless he is born again by receiving the Son of God, who loved him and gave Himself for him. But there is life for a look for all bitten ones, and they shall share the bridegroom's joy in the morning (verse 29). LESSON VI.—Jesus and the woman of Samaria, John iv. 1-20. Golden Text. 1 Tim. 1, 15, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." A religious moral man must be born again, and a poor, immoral outcast may be born again, for he came to seek and to save the lost. The latter became a better witness than the former and brought many souls to Him. In such service He delighted and invites us to join Him, that we may rejoice together. Lesson VII.-- Jesus heals a nobleman's son, John xiv, 43-54. Golden Text, Matt. viii, 13. "As thou hast believed so be it done unto thee." At Cana He had shadowed forth the glory of His own marriage, and now from Cana He sent life to a whole household. After the marriage what blessing there will be to multitudes! May the childlike faith of the nobleman be ours, for he believed the word that Jesus had spoken and went his way. LESSON VIII.—Jesus at the pool of Bethesda, John v, 1-15. Golden Text, John ix, 4. "It was Jesus who had made him whole." A truly helpless pool for really helpless people, but there is a fountain which is better than all pools, and He gives life to all who hear His word and believe on Him—that is, receive Him. There is no book like the Scriptures, and by Scripture we learn of Him, but unless we come to Him of whom they tell we cannot obtain life (1 John v, 12). LESSON IX. — Jesus feeds the five thousand, John vi, 1-21. Golden Text, Matt, vi, 11, "Give us this day our daily bread." Feasts of the Lord had become mere feasts of the Jews, and the multitudes were perishing. Today the public worship of God is largely mere formalities, stones for bread, and our Lord is still saying, "Give ye them to eat." He is ready to take what we have that is real bread and increase it as needed. LESSON X. - Jesus the bread of life. John vi. 22-40. Golden Text, John vi. 35. "Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life." Living Bread from heaven, and yet people despise it, even as Israel beathed the manna in the wilderness and in their hearts turned back to the food of Egypt. See these men disputing and arguing instead of eating. And so it is still, just as in the invitation to the marriage feast they all made light of it, each preferring his own way. One of the most manifest delusions of the devil is the way in which men despise the love and grace of God. Lesson XI.—Jesus saves from sin, John viii, 12. 28-37. 56-59. Golden Text, John viii, 36. "If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." He had no stones for penitent sinners, and no one else has any right to throw any, for He is the only one without sin. He came not to condemn, but to save. He is saying to all thirsty ones. "Come unto Me and drink." He says just as plainly that all who will not come shall die in their sins and, preferring the devil to God, shall have to take the devil's portion. JOHN H. HARRIS MT. TABOR REVIVAL Rev. E. J.

C., March 21.—Two more colored lawyers now enjoy the privilege of practicing at the bar of the Supreme court of the United States. On motion of Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, last Monday W. Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore and James A. Cobb, of Washington, were admitted to the bar of the nation's highest tribunal. Both are leading attorneys of their respective bailiwicks and are well known to the country at large. The ceremonies attending their advancement in the legal arena were unusually impressive and it is conceded that they are eminently qualified to represent the race and the profession in any case they may bring before the august body on the capitol hill. Judge Terrell has the honor of having officiated at the admission of more colored lawyers to the bar of the supreme court than any other member of the race in the land, and is a matter of pride with him that not one of the profession for whom he has stood sponsor, has failed to "make good." Particular interest is lent to the admission of W. Ashble Hawkins to practice before the supreme court at this time by reason that he has been refuted by an interested group of citizens in Baltimore to represent them in the segregation cases that are to be re-argued at an early date. It will ago adopted laws requiring colored and white people to live, in restricted districts—that they must be kept separate, under conditions varying with per cent. of each race that may have their habitat in certain blocks or sections. These statutes are in effect in Louisville, Atlanta, Richmond, Baltimore, Norfolk, St. Louis and perhaps other places, and have become to be known as 'segregation laws,' and considered detrimental to the proper housing of thrifty colored persons. The case argued some time ago before the supreme court; and which did not reach a decision, was that of Buchanan vs Warley, and involved the validity of the segregation law adopted by the City of Louisville, Ky. Changes in the personnel of the the court have made it expedient to review the case in toto, and several of the cities in which the law is in operation have agreed to allow the Louisville case to stand as the test for all cases at issue. Some of the best legal talent in the country will be utilized by the defendant cities and a "battle royal" is promised. The Hon. Moorfield Storey, of Boston, will direct the side of the anti-segregationists and he will have the assistance of brilliant counsel drawn from both races. He will be backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Equal Rights League and other strong organization hatt specialize in issues involving the civil rights and social justice. As has been stated, W. Ashbie Hawkins will be associated with the case on behalf of the people of Baltimore, and it is expected that courageous colored lawyers of St. Louis, Richmond and Louisville will take a lively interest in the proceedings they deform. Washington, along with the rest of the country, is in the quivive and will keep a close watch on the progress of the case. This city has no segregation laws and will not have any. For some reason, the white and colored people have little friction over the matter of residential sections. When Negroes get into a given block, the whites just move out, and their places are taken by colored people, until the entire districts are populated by Negroes. The "problems" thus far seems to sofre it- BRNSWICK, GA. NEWS Mrs. Minnie Riley after spending a few days in the flowery state, returned home having pleasantly enjoyed the trip. Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Brunswick is always glad to see Col. Johnson and hear him talk for a deal of humor surrounds his speeches. Mr. Davis is also a pleasant speaker but neither the speech of Col. Johnson or Davis was taken seriously. Mr. Davis is not an Odd Fellow and was not regarded as such from that angle. Brunswick understands the supreme court's decision and when proper authorities from the S. C. M. gives orders to march Brunswick will be on the job. Every man wants to keep a good job when it pays well and naturally Mr. Davis would like to retain his as an Odd Fellow, but he was given the rope and he drew it tight. Other men have died from Mr. Davis' hands, and even when he was chief justice at the headquarters men fell at his hands. We make a specialty of Cleaning, Pressing aid Repairing Clothes.
