The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII ROUSING PATRIOTIC MASS MEETING HELD LAST MONDAY NIGHT AT HARRIS STREET HALL Want Militia Again More Than 500 in Attendance—Wires Resolution to President Wilson Subject to the call published in last week's issue of The Tribune, which was made by Capt. J. C. Simmous, formerly commander of the Georgia artillery before the disbandment of the Negro troops in this state, more than 500 patriotic men met in mass meeting last Monday night at the Odd Fellow's hall, Harris street, east, for the purpose of pledging their services to the president of these United States during this period of war between the country and Germany. The meeting was called to order by Capt. Simmons and after outlining the object of the call in a forceful speech, a temporary organization was perfected with Capt. Simmons as chairman and Edward H. Burke as secretary. The affair was kept enlivened by the singing of the national air and by the Shaw-Drum and Bugle Corps. The occasion was full of enthusiasm and quite a number of ringing speeches were made, all of which were loudly applauded. Aside from the large number in the hall there was quite a crowd outside which joined in the jollification. The true spirit of patriotism was demonstrated and never before has the Negro men of Savannah shown so much interest and loyalty to an occasion. There were men there from every walk of life and each pledged his support and service to the country. Those who responded to the call for talks were Dr. O. C. Clayborne, Howard Stiles, Robert Burke, Sam King, Dr. C. C. Middleton, Jake Wright, Capt. Julius Maxwell, Rufus Rivers, John Coates, Arthur Dilworth, Edward H. Burke, John F. Andrews, Edward Brown, C. S. Andrews and Robert L. West. At the conclusion of the speeches Sol. C. Johnson offered a set of resolutions pledging the service and loyalty of the surviving members of the Georgia State Troops and the Negroes of, this community. The resolutions were adopted amid cheers that could be heard for blocks away. The resolutions were wired to President Wilson on Monday night. A second resolution was then presented by him asking that a petition be presented to the governor, the governor-elect and the legislature praying for a reconsideration of the enactment that disbanded the Negro state troops. This was also received with much enthusiasm. A committee was appointed to take the petition before the governor and legislature as follows: J. C. Slimmons, Dr. O. C. Clayborne, M. W. Bryan, Dr. G. C. Middleton, Sol. C. Johnson, Henry Mears and Robert L. West. The meeting also asked that every Negro home in the city and every business place display an American flag as a proof of their loyalty. After the close of the meeting a temporary organization was perfected of the former members of the Georgia State Colored Troop. Another meeting of this organization will be held on next Wednesday night at Harris street hall and at which time every ex-soldier is asked to be present. Following is the resolution presented, adopted and sent to the President: "Whereas, our country has declared war on Germany, and it behooves all citizens to show their loyalty to the flag in order that a glorious victory may be won. And Whereas, the colored men of this country from the Battle of Bunker Hill, where his, was the first blood shed for American Independence to the war of 1812 with Commodore Perry on Lake Erie, to the Civil war and that of the Spanish-American, and even to Carrizal in Mexico, he showed his ardor and loyalty. Therefore, be it "Resolved: That we the representatives of the officers and enlisted men of the late Georgia State Troope, colored, and also representing the loyal colored citizens of this community, do hereby pledge our hearty support and service to the President of the United States." The following resolution will be taken before the governor and Georgia legislature: "Whereas, the legislature of Georgia Superintendent Gibson and Dr. E. J. Smith Deliver Strong Addresses Health Week plans opened auspiciously and enthusiastically with a meeting of all the colored teachers of the city at Cuyler Street school last Wednesday. Prof. J. H. C. Butler, presided. Superintendent Gibson aroused the teachers to a deep sense of their duty to the community at large, outside the school room, when he pointed out the powerful influence which they wielded in civic affairs and public welfare movement. He complimented them on the splendid results they were obtaining in the yard gardening and paper-saving campaign. "These things," he said, "make for a clean, beautiful and healthy city and for economic independence." He urged upon them that from that very hour, each one should bend every energy to spread the doctrine of health to the thousands they were able to reach through their pupils. He pointed out that the matter of Health Week meant the very "life" of the people and was eminently more important than any other consideration. The director of the League outlined the many important details of the schedule to be followed during the campaign and designated the specific work of publicity and instruction which the teachers could especially assist in. Various maxims and Health Statistics covered the blackboards of the meeting room, relating the alarming amount of sickness and death, from unnecessary causes and of the South at large. The charts emphasized the "high cost of being sick" and the "high cost of dying." The teachers copied these, and will take them up with their pupils and thus get them into the many sections where they are most needed. Among the impressive maxims were the following: 1,200 Negroes died in Savannah last year: 450,000 Negroes in the South are seriously sick all the time: 225,000 Negroes die in the South every year.—100,000 of these could be saved: Annual funeral expenses of Negroes of South $15,000,000. Next followed Dr. E. J. Smith, who delivered one of the most illumination, most sensible and most practical addresses that could have been delivered. Carefully avoiding the technical medical phraseology. Dr. Smith went earnestly into a discussion of such common alliances as indigestion, pains in the head, in the back, nervousness and irregular heartaction so characteristic among women, constipation. "All these", he said, are traceable to the ordinary causes of irregular habits, over-eating, improperly cooked food, etc." This address was especially timely and the most serviceable that could have been delivered. It was significant of what we hope to make the whole health week—an eminently practical campaign. Dr. A. P. Williams delivered an interesting and practical address on the care of the teeth. Like Dr. Smith's his address aimed at the most practical things in his line. Dr. Smith will be asked to deliver this same practical address at the medical and dental clinic at Yamacraw centre next Wednesday afternoon. The teachers were very interested, much impressed and many stated that they were going to work deligently to secure results. Supt. Gibson has suggested that the teachers meet again next Wednesday, in joint-assembly, to go over the work and results they may have accomplished. "Resolved: That a committee be appointed for this purpose and those who are interested in other cities be asked to join in the movement, even to the extent of appearing in person before the Governor and Governor-elect. "Resolved: That the Governor be requested to restore to us the Battalion flag to be used by the survivors of the Battalion as a memento of the organization."

Burns, pastor of St. Peters Baptist church, Waycross, who has been on a vacation of five weeks to Philadelphia and other northern points is again at his post. The members of St. Peters had a reunion meeting and reception to the pastor at the church. Tuesday night. April 17 The reception was one of the most enthusiastic and cordial ever tendered a pastor in this city. The mayor of Waycross and prominent white citizens called a mass meeting of white and colored people at the stately court house. Wednesday night, April 18, especially to hear the views of the Rev. Burns as to the Negro exodus northward, and to the Negro's condition as he saw them on his recent trip. Knowing the-colored people's attitude toward the present general movement, and too, understanding the only position the white people take in the matter, the Rev. Burns declined to speak and thereby, more firmly grounded himself in the esteem of his own people. However, the meeting was attended by white and colored and appeals were made to the colored people to stay in the South. WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT DINNER Mr. William H. Anderson, formerly of this city, who was recently married to Miss Ora G. Worles of Jacksonville, Fla., announced their marriage with a wedding dinner on last Wednesday night at the Southern Hotel, Jacksonville. The affair was a brilliant occasion.

R. Spicer of this city, has furnished from its New York office, several thousands of pieces of health literature for free distribution.

East Broad, Cuyler and Maple Schools Collect This Week The waste paper contest among the four Negro public schools of the city gets closer each week. Up to noon yesterday there was no change in the relative standing of the schools too it is likely that the collection yesterday afternoon of the Maple Street school (too late for today's issue) was such as would place her ahead of the West Broad Street school which has been leading in the contest for the past two weeks. On Friday of last week the East Broad Street school, by a collection of 17,488 pounds of paper, gave her percentage quite a boost but not enough to pull her out of the last place. On Tuesday the Cuyler Street school turned in 10,070 pounds, bringing her average poundage per child from 51.33 to 59.11. The race for the prizes offered by the Savannah Paper Balling Company is a merry one and it is altogether problematical which one of the three leading schools will win out. The chances favor Maple and West Broad. Up to noon yesterday, a total of 237,027 pounds of paper have been collected by the four schools, making an average collection per child of 65.40. The standing of the schools in the contest at noon yesterday was as follows: West Broad Street School Magazines and paper.....85,868 lbs Average per child.....98.13 lbs Maple Street School Magazines and paper.....42,533 lbs Average per child.....71.09 lbs Cuyler Street School Magazines and paper.....76,495 lbs Average per child.....59.11 lbs East Broad Street School The Maple Street, school collection yesterday was 13.584 pounds, giving her 99.51 pounds per child and the lead in the contest.

The meeting of the c will be held at The 7 next Thursday at 5 PAGE TWO The Day of Seperate Waists and Skirts The New Coat Blosue One of the Smart Novelties FASHIONS IN FURS AND FOOTWEAR New York April 20—Seperate walsts and skirts are going to be very prominent this season. We have it on very good authority, no less than from Paris There are all sorts of blouses and all sorts of shirts, to suit women of every build and every taste. The woman who adores those charming "little" blouses of chiffon and Georgette will find myriads of them to her taste. Some are finely pleated or tucked, and those require additional trimming take unto themselves bead trimming or filet lace, both of which forms of adornment are extremely popular. In the bead work, wooden beads are now being used together, with glass beads. This is the latest invention on the part of designers of fancy effects. ```markdown ``` A Costume with the New Coat Blouse. Some of the new blouses are made to give the effect of coats, especially those of hip or finger-tip length which are meant to be worn over the skirt. One of these new blouses is illustrated in the accompanying sketch. It even has a vest in the front to accentuate the coatlike appearance. It is fashioned of dotted silk trimmings in the vest, collar, belt, pockets and cuffs. Skirts feature both the straight, simple lines which continue to satisfy most women, and the draped effects with diminishing width at the hep of the skirt. The barrel effect in these skirts may be anywhere between the hip and the knees. White skirts of serge, flannel, gabardine and wool jersey are worn with coats of velvet in both dark and light colors. Besides the skirts of one color, stripes, checks and plaids with various colors are very frequently seen. Afternoon frocks lavishly trimmed with embroidery are as highly favored as ever. Many a frock is made in jumper effect; not the old kind of jumper, but an entirely new sleeveless affair extending below the waistline at the front aid back. This smart type of jumper is shown in the sketch. The costume is one of those featuring the oval silhouette, the skirt being softly pleated at the top to produce the slightly distended effect at the hips. Oyster-white pongee, which is one of the favored dress fabrics, develops this costume, and the embroidery on the jumper is done in the emple running-stitch in Chinese blue. The girdle winds itself twice around the figure as most of the girdles of this type do in these days. Summer Furs: Furs are not to be discarded when the warm days come. They will be worn all through the spring and summer just as they were last year. Those who gasped at the thought of wearing furs in summer last year did so because they did not realize that the furs the fashionable women wore were not the wintry kind, but especially light, summer furs. Although the fashion started as a fad, it has been proved that a light fur wrap for the shoulders is really acceptable in certain parts of the country, especially in the evenings. And, of course, every woman realizes how wonderfully becoming they are. Fur appears as a trimming on several of the new satin wraps and coats. Satin is considered especially smart for wraps as well as dresses, and is therefore very prominent. Among the new coats there are some cape effects seen which promise to be well received by the women of fashion. These have been launched by the Paris designers and they seem already to be meeting with success. The High Cost of Shoes The interest in footwear grows more and more as we hear of the soaring prices of leather. Plain low pumps to be worn with spats are going to be worn very much now as this will be one of the means of solving the problem of the high cost of shoes. Black patent leather pumps with white or O MCCALJ Cumber Styles Are Still Popular sand-colored spats is the fashionable combination. In both pumps and high shoes, gray and the light tan shades, which are so very popular in dress materials, are also found in shoes. Kid and suede are equally smart for all occasions. In high shoes the upper part is usually of a light shade, either white, gray or tan, and the lower part of a darker leather. This combination seems to be favored above all others. Low shoes, not intended to wear with spats, are sometimes ornamented with cut-steel buckles. The manufacturers are making shoes of cloth in gray, tan and white to take the place of leather shoes. They are mostly of a fine grade of canvas made on the same lasts, as the expensive kid shoes, and are much less expensive. A few years ago, shoes of velvet and satin were the rage, and now that the price of leather is exorbitant, will women take kindly to these more practical cloth shoes? Among the Masons The chief of men is he who stands in the van of men, fronting the peril which frightens back all others, which, if he be not vanquished, will devour the others. Every noble crown is, and on earth will ever be, a crown of thorns.—Carlyle. We are started on our 'Masonic life with a belief in God and our trust in His guidance. And every step that we have taken impresses us more and more with our dependence on Him, and our imperative obligation to help, aid and assist our brother man. Why then should we become careless or indifferent to the great duties we owe to God, our brother and ourselves? It is one thing to proclaim the brotherhood of man, and another thing to act it out with the brother next to you. How much is your Masonry worth to you? Not financially, but morally mortally and socially. Masonry needs men—men who appreciate its beauties and will practice precepts. Don't be discouraged. Right will prevail in the end. And if you are in the wrong, get right. Try It What a pity it is that differences between Masons are not adjusted by Masons is a Masonle way. It is too often the case that resort is had to the courts, or to those who are not Masons. Such action cannot fail to bring Masonry into disrepute, if not into contempt. Is it not possible for men who, by the most solemn vows, owe reciprocal duties one to another, to settle their differences in such a way as not to bring reproach upon their brethren, and upon the fraternity? It seems to us that a little more effort on the part of Masters, a little more influence brought to bear by disinterested brethren might solve the problem. We appreciate the fact that Masons are but human, with human weaknesses and human frailties. But, even so, no difference or dispute, is absolutely ir- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY APRIL 21, 1917 reconcilable. A little patience, a little consideration, a little patience, a little torbearance, and above all, the spirit of brotherhood, can settle every difficulty between Masons. The most obstinate, the most unreasonable, must yield, to gentle persuasion if properly approached. There is enough power in Masonry to settle every question, and to settle it right. Then let us act accordingly. NOTICE! USE INK All communications sent to The Tune for publication must be placed written with ink and on one side paper only.

TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED IN NASHVILLE Negro Citizens Augment Y. M. C. A. Fund and Clinch White Citizen's Offer Nashville, Tenn.—By raising in a seven day campaign, ending March 31, $20,140,87, the Negroes of this city took up the offer whereby the white citizens were to supplement it with their $100,000,00 and which is expected will secure from Mr. Rosenwald the $25,000,00 which was promised some time ago. They have already purchased the magnificent Duncan hotel property, which passed into their hands on December 31, 1916 and which consists of a four-story building of eighty rooms with its entire furnishings. The campaign was notable for the amount of ginger put into it. More than $10,000,60 were reported on the last day of the campaign. Money was solicited through letters, by personal subscriptions and by telegraph. Friends, ex-residents and sympathizers of Nashville people from all sections of the United States were brought into the campaign. The building which will be remodeled from the funds of the present campaign will be worth more than $200,000,00 and it is said by the leading Y. M. C. A. experts to be one of the best locations and will be one of the most modern equipped buildings of any Negro Y, M. C. A. in the United States. Today contributions are still coming in, and it is expected that the grand total from the Negroes alone will reach the sum of $22,000,00. While this marks the third campaign in Nashville since 1914 in the interest of the Y. M. C. A., it was announced this morning by the daily papers that the Negroes had done well their part. In 1914 $E3,000.00 were subscribed. Early in January 1917 $6,000.00 more were subscribed, and in the present campaign an additional total of $20,140.00 were subscribed, but it was understood that the campaign just closed was to conform with the campaign of the whites to protect the shrinkage and to revive new interest. Henry Allen Boyd is chairman of the committee of management, W. N. Sanders is the secretary. J. C. Napier served as chairman of the present campaign, W. D. Hawkins, general of division A. President Taylor, general of division B. with Bishop I. B. Scott as vice chairman. There were fourteen teams at work, all schools and colleges helping. Mr. J. B. Watson, the international secretary, spent the entire time here helping to direct the efforts. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS NOTICE!

Saturday April 21, 1917 Lend a hand in National Negro Health Week Let's make Savannah a clean, beautiful and healthy city. Being sick is an expensive business. Find out how to keep well, then stay well. 1,200 Negroes died in Savannah last year. Some of these could have been saved—many of them babies. Let's out that figure for this year. NEGRO PREPAREDNESS The enthusiastic mass meeting, held by the old guard on last Monday night, indicates that the old "fire and pep" are still left and in great abundance. Disarmed, debarred and disbanded—the remnants of the erstwhile colored state militia are ready to answer the call to the colors under proper conditions of reorganization and re-enlistment. In their day, these men in several of the state migrin throughout the South, served their states honorably and conscientiously. They understood well their relationship to the state, and their stewardship, through all the years, has been above reproach and censure. It would seem to have been particularly unappreciative on the part of those who brought about the disbanding act, but it came at as time when many such acts of discrimination were being put upon the statute books of the state and South. The times have changed. The present finds the state and nation in need of the services of these trained and experienced men. They would be excellent material to be used in training other men in the event the war should be of long duration, and made a great draught upon the young manhood, of the nation. Reorganized, they would make a strong adjunct to the regular standing armed forces of the nation, to be used for general purposes of offense and defense. They would wear responsibility as becomes loyal patriots and acquit themselves like men. The future, as has been pointed out time and again, will find all nations maintaining a status of military preparedness, regardless of coalitions, treaties and what not. What then would be more logical than that the state and nation should make use of its best resources,—which certainly would include the thousands of disbanded state militia-men? To these might be added those larger groups of partially trained men. already organized as the uniform rank in various secret order circles. There are thousands of these men of more, or less training in military tactics. These would form excellent nuclei around which to rebuild the state milita. The state and nation will do well to husband its splendid resources of trained men of no less, splendid loyalty. Let the good state rise to the breadth of the situation and reorganize and rehabilitate its Negro state troops, taking them back with a manly status. THE WOMEN HELPING It is a mighty good sign to see our women so thoroughly alive and awake on this all-important matter of reducing the high cost of living or what is better "reducing the cost of high living." Relatively speaking, we are the most prodigal and extravagant of peoples. Our expenditures for non-essentials, the unnecessary things,—the luxuries of life, bear a larger ratio to our average income, we dare say, than is the case with any other folk. Our over-indulgence in expensive foodstuffs, costly dress, vain and high-priced amusement is out of all proportion to our means. The six-dollar-a-week wage earner lives or tries to live in the same grade with him whose salary amounts to twenty dollars for the same period,—their social and religious spheres are identical,—hence their upkeep tends to be the same. This should not be. Appetite and desire of other sorts should not be allowed to run riot with reason and good judgment. This inordinate and unnatural standard of living should be done away, and there should be reared up in its stead the standard of good common sense which takes into account all the elements which go to make up the living equation. The sensible standard considers and embraces the family or individual in come on the one hand and the reasonable needs for decent, comfortable living on the other. There should be this definite and perfect adjustment, at all times, as between income on the one hand and living cost on the other. The balance should always be in favor of and tending toward a surplus, which should go toward the "sinking fund" or savings account, to provide against the possible day when the channels of income may be sapped or clogged. Every family, husband, wife and children, should go into closer communion, and make this accounting; the vain and extravagant party, the wasteful and idle members of the home circle, be brought face to face, dispassionately, with the causes of domestic economic embarrassment, and the trouble can be corrected. Thoughtless drifting and indifference to this matter leads to suffering and domestic financial strain,—to poverty of a kind. Let's have the family counsel; let's take stock, make inventory. Let's have a family budget, with which to meet war conditions. We have the women interested, and they can do a great deal in the way of preventing waste, economizing and saving. Let everyone save a little for what may be coming, for who knows what is ahead * * * ? THRIFT GARDENS A thrift garden, properly cultivated in the back yard or elsewhere, 25x50 feet, at a cost not exceeding $5— 1. Will very materially reduce the cost of living. 2. Will supply a family of six with fresh vegetables throughout the season. 3. Will yield in cash value, produce worth from $50 to $100 per person. 4. Will provide wholesome and profitable exercise for mind and body. 5. Will make a more contented people. 6. Will teach preparedness and economy. 4. Will provide wholesome and professors. —St. Louis Globe—Democrat We have become an extravagant people because of our abundance. War conditions bringing high prices for all commodities, is literally driving the nation to a consciousness of its wastefulness, and to a sense of the great opportunities which we have at our very doors for relieving our present economic stress. A garden is possible in any space, however small. The organization of the Home Industrial Union, by some enterprising ladies led by Mrs. Mattie Waters and Miss Bessie Foster, will go a long way toward relieving local conditions. This organization means to stimulate yard and lot gardening, and what is even more important, it means to teach domestic economy, a careful husbanding of the family and household income and resources; the elimination of waste and foolish expenditure. Great good will be accomplished. The Urban League is promoting a campaign of yard gardening, and has already established a number of these The league has distributed several hundreds of packages of seeds, donated by the Recreation Commission and the Women's Federation, and three or four hundreds of cabbage and tomato plants, all to the poor people. Within ten days, the league will be in position to furnish several hundreds of additional tomato, lettuce and cabbage plants. Persons desiring information in the line of yard gardening, will call at the office of the Director over Savannah Pharmacy. Crescent Lodge K. of P. No. 2.

If the white people of Dublin had entertained any doubt whatever as to the loyalty and patriotism of the Negro during the crisis that is upon us, that doubt was completely dissipated in the minds of those white citizens who attended the Negro patriotic rally at the courthouse fast night. As for ourselves, personally, we had not for one instant doubted the loyalty and the faithfulness on the part of the Negro. We have felt that no allen influence, no matter how strongly it might be exerted, could swerve him from the devotion to the land of his nativity which he has always manifested in the past during a national crisis. However, there were some, it seems, who, in view of the persistent reports which were being circulated that German spies were actively engaged in an effort to alienate the sympathies of the Negro and cause him to turn against his white friends, had entertained some apprehension of danger at this point. The mass meeting of the Negroes, which was largely attended by the white people, had the effect of setting at rest, once and for all time, any fears along this line on the part of the white people here. Never were heard even among the white people more patriotic speeches, never was given a stronger evidence of loyalty and patriotism than was known by the entire assemblage of Negroes at the courthouse last night. Every sentence in every address breathed a spirit of devotion to the stars and stripes and manifested beyond any possible doubt a patriotic fervor that would do credit to any race of people on earth. Such evidences of sincere and deeply-rooted patriotism on the part of the Negro race was somewhat surprising and wholly refreshing to the white citizens who attended the meeting. These white friends of the Negroes were present to lend encouragement to the movement, and it was clearly evident that the former appreciated the fact and responded fully to the effort on the part of their white friends. One of the worth-while results of the meeting was the creation of a better feeling between the two races in the city and county. There is no possible doubt that a new bond of sympathy between the whites and blacks has sprung up as a result of the crisis which faces the country in the form of warfare with a foreign foe. Such joint meetings of the two races should be held more often, as the meeting last night clearly demonstrated that by this means of better understanding between them can be effected and helpful and uplifting influence of the Negroes set in motion. This really proves to be a happy solution of the problem which never had any foundation in fact, but which had begun to cause many white people serious concern.—The Dublin Citizen. Deaths M. W. Swayne Mr. M. W. Swayne died suddenly of heart disease at Summit, N. J., on last Thursday. He left here about two weeks ago. The body will probably be brought to this city for burial. Chas. W. Simmons Mr. Chas. W. Simmons died on Wednesday afternoon at Charity Hospital shortly after an operation had been performed. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at St. Paul C. M. E. church, after which the body was taken to Anderson, S. C., for burial. He is survived by a mother, three sisters and four brothers. John T.

The funeral took place on April 3rd from the residence 617 Park avenue, west. Rev. T. J. Goodall and Rev. N. M. Clarke conducted the services which were largely attended.

Heaven is my home, but some how or other I have not been home sick yet. I like down here and I find so much pleasure in getting around looking at people. In my last letter I was in Roanoke, Va., the guest of Rev. E. E. Ricks, and when I left there I came up the N. & W., but I want to here pause and pay my respects to the Norfolk and Western road, because it is doing so much for my people, and it is because they have as president a real man, a man who is willing to recognize the rights of every other man in the world, President D. L. Johnson. It matters not how black you are, or how white you are, how high or low, if you have any business with President Johnson, you can reach him direct and he will have you sit down and talk with you like you were a human being. He has placed his road on the map with the great railroad systems of this country. Of course we are represented in the general offices, and some of our men hold good positions. I wish that I had the names of all of them I could tell you about them. I am going to try to get hold of this and let you have it soon. All along the line in the smaller stations you will find men of our race in charge of the baggage room doing the checking. Wonderful. After talking with Messrs Trent and Pointexter, and talking with the people of Roanoke, and shaking hands with Mr. J. P. Snyder, who is in charge of the office now, because the chief clerk, Richard P. Royer has gone to war to fight for his country, I shook the dust from my feet and left Roanoke. Now where did I go? Of course I am going to tell you. I made it out at night on what they called "Sixteen." I rode to Burkeville, Va., and got off and went to Amelia. If you will remember I was down there last week, and I have been back again to talk to the people. You will get a slight idea about this, when I call your attention to the fact that the people were anxious to have me come again, and Mrs. Istelle Wingo told me that she would give me all that I could eat. I went back, and I tell you the people met me there and gave me an oation. Now then, I left there the next morning, and made it out to the Ingle-side school at Burkeville, which is an institution for our girls. The teachers are all white but one or two exceptions, but they were as friendly as could be, and made me welcome to the school. The president was away, but the women had me to talk to the girls, and when I was through with the general talk, the girls had me to make them a heart to heart talk. I mean the girls of the junior class, and they prepared and sang for me their class-song. They were cordial and loud in their invitation for me to return to them. Spending the morning there, at moon, I went to Farmville, where the A. M. Epeople were holding their conference, provided over by one of the most polished men of our race, Dr. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., of Philadelphia. He knew I was coming in, had me take dinner with him and then stopped the conference to introduce me to them, and said some good things about me. I was delighted to see this man, and I want to congratulate the A. M. E. people on having such an able man in their conference. He is going to hold the Baltimore conference next week. He spent eight years in South Africa, and if you want to hear some good things, just get in conversation with this polished gentleman. I looked around and met Dr. Baker, Dr. Mason, Dr. Baker carried me around in his buggy and invited me to come to his home sometime. I made a good hit with him. Now then next found me at night in Petersburg, where I spent the night, and bright and early next morning got myself together and started for the place where I am now. When I got here over the Seaboard Air Line, I found Prof. Walter. E. Woodard, with a buggy and horse waiting for me. He rushed and got me and carried me and my things to the buggy and soon had me started for Dinwilddie Industrial school, which is indeed a great institution, with great men and women at the head of it, great men supporting it, for it is under the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, with Bishop G. L. Blackwell, a man who signifies education in his name, president of the board, Rev. G. L. White, vice president; Prof. G. S. Atkins, recording secretary; Rev. J. W. Martin, corresponding secretary. When Prof Woodard shook my hand, I wanted to impress him that I I was an educator, and so I could receive special attention, so I just said "Dampusdimus. Incuretus, secius schoollbusti rentus, skilentum? I meant to say to him that I was delighted to come to see the school, teachers and faculty and students and scholars and all others who helped to make up the school. That young man who is a graduate of Fisk University, looked wise at me, but said not a word, until he said we are going to have the people of the community meet you tonight, and you may say all them big words to them. You see he did not understand what I said, and I did not understand it myself, but I wanted to sound big any way and that suited me. But I went to a school the other day, and commence using them words and a young woman said to me "Misteribus, youribus albus foolibus." I don't know what she said but I bust away from her and have not seen her since. She is some educated woman that knows her Latin. When I commenced talking to Mrs. Annie Johnson Woodard, she did not have her dictionary with her and wanted me to talk to her plain United States English, and this I agreed to do. I met then the other teachers, Mrs. Ceretta Desmikes, Mrs. Mamie Reddick, and Mrs. Annie Lopes, but did not talk big dictionary to them, but sai jidust what I could understand my self. Mrs. Lopez is the matron. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate Bishop Blackwell and his church, and then I want to congratulate Prof. Woodard on the great work he is doing for God and the race. I am going back to Petersburg, and hope to have a few things to say about that in my next. I think I shall send my letter from Florida. GEORGIA SHOULD GO STRONG TO NATIONAL CONVENTION Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay As the near approach dawns upon us for our annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which will convene in the city of Chattanooga, Tenn., in the month of August, business men and women of the race, from Maine to California, and from the Gulf on the south to the frozen lakes on the north, are looking forward to it with pleasurable as well as with profitable anticipations, for many of them have long since learned just how indispensable this national Negro business organization is to this struggling child trace in this country. Which must look the other fellow in the face and live, or like the wild Indian, take to the woods, retrograde and die. In the state of Georgia, the Empire state of the South, there are men and women of the race engaged in nearly every conceivable line of business engaged in by members of any other race. The interesting feature in connection with the enterprises being conducted by the business men and women of the race in the state of Georgia, is that every one of them which is being conducted in a straight-forward business-like way is succeeding, and is putting the race on record and giving it more prestige in the commercial world, than ten thousand voteless wind-jamming politicians could give it, with their meaningless curbstone speeches, in a thousand years. The Negro Business League, both national and local, finds in its path, obstacle and impedances, like all other great humanity uplifting agencies, and will continue to find empediments in its way as long as men are little, narrow and selfish; and men of that disposition and type will be with us as long as the world stands, I suppose. As the Savannah branch of the National Negro Business League is one of the oldest, and perhaps one of the most active in the state and has done and is still doing effective work for the members of the race engaged in business in this community, and by way of parenthesis, permit us to say that the more thoughtful ones engaged in business, appreciate very much what the league has done and what it is destined to do, in the matter of trying to impress its members and friends of the importance of giving the Negro man and woman in business an opportunity to serve them when such is practicable and possible. This local organization has seen fit to issue a call for the organization of a state league here in this city, during the annual meeting of the Negro State Medical Association, which will be the guest of the South Atlantic Medical Association, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, May 16, 17 and 18. Editor Sol. C. Johnson, chairman of the committee on organization appointed by the local league, is actively at work with his committee, communicating with the various state organizations, and has on hand a number of letters and by-laws and constitutions adopted by several of the state organizations, which go to make up our great national body. Purpose of Call at this Time Chairman Johnson's committee learning of the physicians annual meeting here and knowing that a number of the physicians throughout the state are members of the National Negro Business League, as well as being members of the local league of their home towns and cities, decided to issue the call at this time, so that these men, while here attending the medical association, might avail themselves of the opportunity of being in the organization of the anticipated state league, which organization the business men and women of the race in the state of Georgia can ill afford to be without. One of the most inspiring sights the writer of this weekly letter thinks he ever saw, was to see on the "Paceo" the longest and perhaps the most renowned boulevard on the American continent, something like forty automobiles, headed by that prince of Negro merchants, J. T. Elliott of Muskogee, Okla., with long streamers to the side of each of these cars, which rear: "Negro State Business' League of Oklahoma." On inquiring we found that some of the men in the Oklahoma automobile party toured more than fifty miles, out of their way in order to join the Elliott party in Muskogee so that the Oklahoma delegation could make the front in Kansas City which they did make, and which no honest man will dare dispute. Georgia must go to Chattanooga this year and take her place in the National Negro Business League which is rightfully hers, by reason of what she really has. Is it not a fact that she, Georgia, has the first and only old line legal reserve Negro insurance in the world? Has she not the biggest and strongest Negro bank, the Wage Earners Savings in the world? Is it not a fact that she has several of the best circulated, as well as cleanly edited Negro newspapers of any state in the union? But why should we stop here in an effort to tell the world of what the Negroes in Georgia own, in order to try to interest the business element among us in attending our national meeting in Chattanooga? Every body knows that Georgia should have a prominent place in the council of business men, and let us resolve that we will go to Chattanooga in August and take our rightful place as business factors of the race. The next meeting of the league will be Wednesday evening, May 2nd. Come early and bring a friend with you and take an active part in the meeting. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES Atlanta, Ga. April 18.—The annual triangular debate between Merchouse, Knoxville and Tallahas college took place last Friday night. The subject of the debate was, "Resolved: That pension should be paid from public funds to needy mothers of dependent children." J. Q. Adams, E. R. Richards as principal speakers and C. R. Perkins, alternate, represented the college at Talladega College. This team loss. The vote of the judges being two to one. M. M. Fisher, R. C. Barbour, as principal speakers, and L. D. Reid, alternate, represented Morehouse, at home against Knoxville, this team won unanimously. The names of the judges at home were Prof. McKee of the Georgia School of Tecnology: Prof. Bixler of the Atlanta Theological Seminary, and Judge W. W. Tindall of the Juvenile Court of Atlanta. The base ball team is just back from Tuskegee where it played last Friday and Saturday. The game on Friday went to Tuskegee by a score of 6 to 1. From the first to the eighth inning the score was 2 to 1 in our favor. Tuskegee by bunching hits ran in four scores in the eighth and Morehouse was unable to overcome the lead in the ninth. The game was begun just after a hard rain, and was played through seven innings in a steady drizzle. The battery was: Nance, Maddox and Jones. The second day told a different tale. Morehouse took the lead with two scores in the first inning and kept the lead until the sixth when Tuskegee added three. The score was tled in the seventh and remained so until the twelfth. Through these five innings Loth teams ran wild on bases, taking all sorts of chances. These were five thrilling innings of real hard baseball. Morehouse made the winning run in. Final score 5 to 4. Maddox who pitched seven innings on Friday came back Saturday and was invincible through the entire 12 inning fray. --- Job Printing --- West Broad Street Correspondence School of Photography TON, PHOTOGRAPHER & INSTRUCTOR You to be a good and famous photographer.

'Memory Verses, 2, 3—Golden Text, Mark xiv, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The passover referred to in verse 1 was the last one ere He laid down His life as Christ our passover sacrificed for us and concerning which He said, "I have heartily desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer" (I Cor. v, 7; Luke xxll, 15, margin). Only six days before that the events of this evening transpired. He is again in the home in Bethany to which He loved to come, and they made Him a supper at which Martha served, and Mary must surely have helped, too, as well as doing the other great thing recorded in our lesson. Lazarus, who had been three or four days in paradise, was there, too, but we have no record of any utterance from him after his return. It must have been with him, as with Paul, that it was not possible for him to utter what he had seen and heard (II Cor. xii, 4, margin). Mary, whose custom was to sit at His feet and hear His word whenever she could find the opportunity, had evidently taken it into her heart that because of the cruel death He was to suffer no friends could be near Him at that time and had therefore obtained some very costly ointment of spikenand with which to anoint Him beforehand if she should find opportunity. The occasion had now come and she was ready for it. He will never fall to provide the opportunity for those who desire to minister to Him. Putting the accounts in Matthew, Mark and John together we learn that she poured the ointment on His head and on His feet and wiped His feet with her hair. Because Luke does not mention this anointing, but does speak of an anointing and feet washing with tears in the house of a certain Simon by a woman who was a sinner, some have thought that Luke described this anointing by Mary, but the incidents are wholly different, at a different time in His ministry and altogether different circumstances. The name of the woman in the incident in Luke is not given, and we have no reason to give her a name. The Lord has left her unnamed. Let us also do so, while we thank God for her salvation. Returning to the incident of our lesson, we note that the house was filled with the oar of the ointment (verse 3). We think of the sweet, perlace that filled the holy place where priests ministered to the Lord day by day, and we remember that the sacrifice of Christ-Himself was unto God an odor of a sweet smell, and our service unto Him is spoken of in the same words (Eph. v, ii, R v; Phil. iv, 18). It should suitly cheer us to know that He lofts upon our ministry in this way. He who reads the heart spoke of Mary's ministry as a good work wrought on Him and an anointing of His body beforehand for His burial? and added that wherever the gospel should be preached in all the world this would be her memorial (Mark xiv, 6-9). Judas and some of the others were indignant and said, "To what purpose is this waste? This ointment might have been sold for more than 300 pence and given to the poor." Judas cared not for the poor, but he was the treasurer and a thief (verses 4: 6; Matt, xxv1, 8, 9; Mark xiv, 4, 5). We are not surprised at his finding fault, but it seems unlike true disciples to call anything done for the Lord a waste. Yet there are many professed followers today who seem to think it all right to spend all they wish on themselves, but to give to the Lord by giving to the poor or to missions is in their eyes at least unprofitable. How comforting it must have been to Mary to have Him say, "Let her alone; she bath done what she could!" (Mark xiv, 6-8). In much service for Him we may not have the approval of the leaders in church work, but if He approves that is all we should desire, taking as our motto II Tim, II, 15, with the stand taken by Paul In Gal. I, 10; Thess. II, 4. It is most interesting to note that Mary of Bethany was the only woman who anointed His body for burial. Other women bought spices for that purpose when it was too late, but never used them, for He had risen when they reached the tomb (Luke xxiii, 55, 6x; xxiv, 1-3). Nicodemus provided about a hundred pounds weight of myrrh and aloes, in which he and Joseph wrapped up the body when they lovingly laid it in the new sepulcher in the garden, wherein was never man yet laid (John xix, 38-42). In Martha, Mary and Lazarus on this occasion may be seen by combining them what a well rounded Christian life ought to be. In Martha there is quiet ministry without being cumbered; in Mary the worship of true and believing devotion, which is always costly, for even David said, "I will not offer unto the Lord my God that which doth cost me nothing" (II Sam. xxiv, 21). In Lazarus there is the power of a resurrection life, because by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus, but the chief priests consulted to put Lazarus again to death (verses 10, 11). Many came together at this time simply to see a man alive who had been dead and not for "Jesus' sake only" (verse 9). It is well when our motto in all things is "For Jesus' sake only," willing to be always delivered to death for Jesus' sake that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal bodies.

Lesson V.-Second Quarter, For April 29, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Losson, John xii, 12-28 Memory Verses, 12, 13—Golden Texts John xii, 13—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stoarns. The first part of this lesson is the record of the so called triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but it was really one of the saddest days of His life, for as He beheld the city He wept over it, because they knew not what He longed to do for them (Luke xlx, 41-44). By riding upon the ass' colt He literally fulfilled the predication in Zech, lx, 9, and the time draws near when He will just as literally fulfill the next verse and speak peace into the nations and have dominion over all the earth. Then shall He make wars to cease in all the world, and the nations shall learn war no more (Ps. xlvi, 9; Isa. ii, 4). Then shall Zeph. ill, 11-17, be literally fulfilled, "The king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee; thou shall not see evil any more." Then shall all the world indeed go after Him (vs. 19), for when the Lord shall make bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God and shall turn unto the Lord, and all nations shall worship before Him (Isa. ii, 9, 10); Ps. xil, 27, 28; lxxxvi, 9). All that He was prevented from accomplishing at His first coming shall surely be fulfilled at His coming again The desire of the Greeks to see Jesus and His reply are all suggestive of the time of which we have just been speaking and of the age of suffering through which we are still passing because of the rejection of Him and His kingdom and its consequent postponement. He is the wheat that had to die in order to bear fruit, and His followers must be content to travel the same road (verses 20-26). Instead of praying to be saved from the hour to which He had now come, His prayer was, "Father, glorify Thy praise." And the Father answered from heaven, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again (verses 27, 28). To the people the voice sounded like thunder, but to Him the words were cleft (verses 29, 30). Put with this the other two testimonies of the Father from heaven "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," and, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him" (verses 31, 32, 17; xvii, 5), and may we become so well pleased in Him that the Father may be well pleased in us. Then shall we glorify God, which is the one thing we are here to do I Cor. x, 31; I Pet. iv, 11). Because the rightful King is rejected the devil continues to be the prince of this world, the god of this world, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one (verse 31, xvii, 30; xvii, 11; II Cor. iv, 4; I John v, 19, R. V). Having to contend with such adversaries as the world, the flesh and the devil, we can better understand His sayings: "Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be families and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places. See that ye be not troubled. In the world, tribulation; in me peace" (Matt. xxiv, 6, 7; John xvi, 33; Luke xxi, 25, 26). The past two years of these things in an unparalleled degree convince us that we have entered upon the closing years of the times of the gentiles, and, while His followers have always been expected to be ready to lay down their lives for His sake, in these perilous last days, when the food of the church is being so thoroughly leavened and the world in so many forms is being welcomed by the professing church, it is necessary to be very, very peculiar in the eyes of many and absolutely refuse to listen to any discrediting of any part of the Word of God, or to making light of anything taught therein, or to have any fellowship with anything in the church which is purely of this present evil age and not of God. We must learn to say with new emphasis, "To me to live is Christ," and that all is not directly from Him and for Him we cannot touch. It must be fully and always "Not I, but Christ," "Not I, but the grace of God," the self life reckoned dead that the life of Jesus may be made manifest (Phil. i, 21; Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv, 10; II Cor. iv). Bear with me for saying it so often. But when we consider that He never pleased Himself, never sought His own will or His own glory, how can we follow Him except by a similar renunciation of self? Anything like preferring the praise of men more than the praise of God cannot be tolerated (verse 43), and a desire to be thought original in anything we say or do is wholly ruled out by the fact that He said only what the Father told Him to say, and all His works were wrought by the Father in Him (verses 49, 50; xlv, 10). We may not expect all people to believe all we say, even though the message he wholly of God and He in some way set His seal upon it, for His message was not received by all, and He was despised and rejected. The devil is still blinding eyes and hardening hearts lest people should believe and be saved. The two quotations from Isa. lii, 1, and vi. 9, 10, in verses 38-41 of our lesson chapter, the one from the last section of Isaiah and the other from the first, with the connecting phrase of verse 41. "Isaiah said again," are to me conclusive proof that the Spirit wrote, through one and the same Isaiah, the whole of his prophecy. M. H.

C., April 19.—Every element of the Negro populace of the District is alive with the fervor of patriotism. Homes and places of business are adorned with the stars and stripes, and men and women are wearing miniature flags on their breasts as they go about their daily tasks. Churches, lodges, societies of various types are holding meetings and are adopting resolutions or sending out a message in some form, expressing their love of the country and testifying to their readiness to do their "blt" and to serve wherever those in authority shall deem most advisable. At the Metropolitan A. M. E. church Monday night a large meeting was held and much enthusiasm was aroused. During his previous week Behel Literary went on record after hearing Rev. J. Francis Gregory. The colored papers are in line with the prevailing sentiment and a score or more of well-known citizens have contributed forcible articles to the white dailies showing that they are "behind the President" in his stand for the national honor and neutralizing the reports that the Negro is yielding to the blandishments of German agents who are at work In the South and other parts stirring the fires of race hatred and making alluring promises to halt the Negro's loyalty to the flag of the only land he knows. * * * If the plans said to be in preparation by Brigadler-General William H. Harvey, commanding the District National Guard, the First Separate Battalion, conceded to be the best military unit in the capital, may be expanded into a full regiment. This can be done as a result of the decision of the War Department to permit the National Guard of the country to organize new units. This work is being warmly praised by the commanding officers, and they stand high in the esteem of the administration and the people at large. Prof. A. H. Long, of Howard University, addressed the Mu-So-Lit club last Friday evening in the Y. M. C. A. "The comparative intelligence of the Negro and the Caucasian child" was his subject. --- The United States supreme court gives no indication as to when it will be ready to hear the re-argument of the segregation cases. The test case comes up from Louisville. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, is to build a colored hotel shortly after the completion of the new bank building now in process of erection at the corner of 11th and U streets. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, Howard University has adopted resolution expressing the regrets of the trustees and faculty over the demise of the late Bishop Alexander Walters who was a member of the board of trustees, succeeding the late Booker T. Washington. The university spoke in high praise of the public services of the eminent prelate and accorded him a foremost place among the men who had made the race illustrious in the eyes of the civilized world. Miss Marie A. D. Madre has made public an eloquent appeal for generous contributions for the relief of the indebtedness on the Frederick Douglass homestead at Anacostia, D. C. Howard D. Woodson, an expert structural engineer spent a few days last week in Pittsburg, Pa., on business. Mr. Woodson is the only member of the race employed as a constructing engineer and draftman in the federal service here and is highly regarded by the Treasury Department and his immediate official associates. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, spoke in Pittsburg Monday night at the Ebenezer Baptist church under the auspices of the Mary E. Johnson Club. The apparent rehabilitation of the Bruce Machine, as indicated by a number of happenings in recent weeks, brings no joy to the parents, pupils or pedagogues who must whithe under the iron heel. The people have no faith in the present administration of the colored schools and the best work cannot be done along educational lines in this community under a reign of terror and the patrons are racked with suspicion and uncertainty. Director J. E. Ralph has appointed another goodly batch of young colored women as printers' assistants in the bureau of Engraving and Printing. Mrs. Cora Watkins-Walker, formerly of Chicago, is regarded as one of the very best stenographers in the Department of Commerce. For years she has been attached to the Census Bureau and performs some of the most intricate work connected with that important branch of the service. One of the very best analyses of the Negro's attitude in the war crisis was that contributed by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University to the columns of the Washington Evening Star of April 10. He traced the history of the Negro through all the phases of his development and pointed out the many evidences of his loyalty to the flag.
