The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII MASONS MEET IN AUGUSTA TUESDAY Report of Grand Lodge Officers to Show Great Progress The 47th annual communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons will be held in Augusta, Tuesday morning next at 9 o'clock in the morning. This will be the first communication of the Grand Lodge in this city in twenty-seven years. It is expected that the attendance will be larger than in recent years. The local lodges have arranged everything in order to make it pleasant for the representatives. This will be one of the most important communications of the Grand Lodge. The reports from the various officers will be more glowing than usual, and will show the marked progress in the affairs of the order. The Grand Lodge department, the Orphan Home department and the Relief Association will each report an increase over last year. Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., and the officers in charge of these departments have each labored hard during the year, thus the result aforementioned. During his administration, Grand Master Butler showed able capability for leadership and much credit is due to him for the excellent condition of the Grand Lodge, which is the foremost among all of the states. The Savannah representatives will leave Monday. Dr. A. P. Williams, the dentist, performed a successful operation on Mr. M. Hunter of 524 Duffy street, west to plast Saturday for osteomyelitis of the jaw. The task was a very tedious one and much skill had to be exercised. Fourteen teeth had to be drawn before he could get at the seat of the trouble. The case was a very rare one and the first one that has been brought to Dr. Williams' attention. A portion of the jaw bone had to be extracted in order to relieve the patient who at the time was suffering with a fever at 104 degrees. He is being given medical attention by Dr. C. E. Brent. A very pleasing serial drama entitled "The Lost Child" was staged at the Pelin Theatre on last Tuesday night by Chas. Arrant, and so well was it presented that it captivated the audience. The serial has eight episodes, one of which will be shown each Tuesday night. The producer is well experienced along this line and has the ability to bring this drama up to a high standard. The show for next week as billed will be clean and high class. New faces will be behind the footlights. Among them will be Cox and Williams and Eddie Daye, the man of the hour; Lena Arrant and Celeste James. There will also be a big review of stock featuring funny rags. A fast fifteen round boxing contest will be pulled off on Monday night at the Airlome theatre between Rufus Cameron of California and Ike Griffin the New York Cyclone. Both men are training hard for the bout and appear to be in the pink of condition. Cameron who has met some of the best heavyweights in the country, is alone worth seeing in action. He is a skillful boxer and fast on his feet. Griffin is an old reliable standby for the local promoter and is there with the punch. He has just returned to the city from New York where he has been studying the game very closely and is in position to give the fans a great show. This bout ought to be one of the fastest staged here for some time from the fact that both men are heavy hitters and not afraid to mix it up. Aside from the main bout, there will be a semi-final between Khl Budwiser and Battling Jerry and a five handed battle royal. Not a dull moment is expected. Music will be on hand to enliven the occasion. Bout starts at 9:30 o'clock with the price of admission being 50 and 75 cents. FIVE SAVANNAHIANS ARE AMONG THOSE LEAVING FOR WEST Will Enter Officers' Training Camp At Des Moines, Ia. The Georgia quota of Negro men for the army training camp for Negro officers, located at Des Molhes, Ia., departed this week for the camp. There were in the neighborhood sixty-five to go from Atlanta and ten from this city. The men are to receive about three months of intensive training after which they will be used for the Negro units to be added to the army. The examination of applicants here took place Sunday at the recruiting station, Bull and Broughton streets, and was in charge of Capt. Hearn of Atlanta. Of the number taking the examination there were eight to pass. They were R. E. Gelger, Jacksonville, Fla.; H. R. Pate, Montgomery, Ala.; T. H. Keith, Darlington, S. C.; W. D. Shavers, Sylvania; W. E. Bothwell, Cordele; R. L. Linton, Boston, all from the Ga. State College, and Earl Ashton and Arthur Dllworth. In addition to these, L. G. Middleton, W. H. Logan and L. W. Sales, also of this city, received appointments to the camp. The men, with the exception of the last named, have all started for the camp. Of these, three are old army men, Arthur Dllworth, W. H. Logan and L. W. Sales. While at the camp the men will receive $100 per month. If they succeed in passing successfully the training, they will be given commissions in the army, which they must accept after having taken the training.. Tacitus Gaillar, also of this city, went to the camp from Kansas. NEGROES PROTEST AGAINST RESTRICTED DISTRICT The mass meeting of Negroes, held at St. Philip church, last Wednesday night, at which hundreds of Negroes from all the walks of life and representing every section of the city, registered their protest of the proposal of the police authority of the city to segregate and restrict the white women of the red-light section to Negro neighborhoods, was worthy of every Negro of Savannah. Practically every minister and the Negro business men, as well as many of the residents of the proposed segregated area, were present and spoke emphatically and determinately in condemnation of this movement. It was felt that the city authority, behind the movement, had not carefully considered its step before deciding to take it; that it was inconsistent with the law and order of the community; that it was unjust and imposing upon the defenseless; and that it could not possibly meet the approval of hundreds of citizens of Savannah. The committee of nine, representing the Ministers' Union and other Negro organizations, reported on the campaign of protest, showing that many prominent white individuals and organizations stood with the committee and were opposed to giving any place in Savannah over to such "business." In some instances, individuals have protested to the mayor in person against the wrong. It was the spirit of the committee to deal tentatively and respectfully, but positively, in the matter by intelligently and widespread appeal to the white citizens conspicuous in the public life of this community, presenting the issue squarely before them, to find whether they could, consistent with wisdom, expedition and right, sanction and condone such a movement. The exhibition of needle work and hand art which was to have been held at Cuyler Street school yesterday, under the auspices of the Community Needle-Work Exchange, will be held on next Friday afternoon at Cuyler from 2 to 6 p.m. A great number of very beautiful pieces will be exhibited and the public generally is urged to come out. Prizes are offered for best exhibitions. Miss M. A.

The Supreme Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias will hold its annual session in St. Louis, and Hon. S. W. Green, the Supreme Chancellor, has assured Secretary Emmett J.

At Kansas City Mo. last year, he was unanimously elected president of the league to succeed Dr. Washington, and this year he will give an account of his stewardship as the league's second president. Mr. Napier is one of the race's well known public spirited men, and his efforts are always directed along the lines of progress and advanced thought He was for a number of years Register of the United States Treasury and is emblem of the Qje Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Napier is putting forth every effort to have a large delegation from the state of Tennessee to attend the meeting. 2. The three silver cans offered by Mr. Allen W.

Mr. G. W. Franklin, Jr., president of the Chattanooga Local Negro Business League in the report of his arrangements, states that one session of the meeting will be held on top of Lookout Mountain, where one of the most historic battles of the Civil war was fought, the war whose conclusion meant so much to the Negro, and made it possible for the race to be recognized today as a contributing unit in American civilization. At the first annual meeting of the Georgia State Negro Business League which was organized on May 14th, at Savannah, Ga., Mr. J. C. Lindsay was elected secretary of the league, and his first effort was to call attention to the magnificent impression made at Kansas City last year by the delay (Confirmed on Page Eight) SATURDAY JUNE 16TH, 1917 Nearly 1,000 Attend Sun. School Congress COULD NOT ARRANGE MEETING OF TWO BAPTIST WINGS Galveston, Tex., Gets Next Session—Tennessee Wins Singing Contest Atlanta, Ga., June 10.—With a large mass meeting held in the Odd Fellows Auditorium, the annual session of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, affiliated with the incorporated National Baptist Convention came to a close this afternoon. In many respects this has been one of the most successful meetings of its kind in the history of the denomination. More than a thousand visitors came from all sections of the country, the actual enrollment being 689 messengers and 297 organizations. The delegates came from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, District of Columbia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, Delaware and Colorado. Wheat Street Baptist congregation, the splendid edifice in which the sessions of the Congress were to have been held had been destroyed in the recent fire in Atlanta. With a spirit of broad hearted and christian liberality the congregation and the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church tendered the use of that church for the sessions of the conference, where they were held. The Congress began its sessions Tuesday noon, presided over by Dr. D. W. Cannon, of Atlanta, president. Welcome addresses were delivered by a large number of local citizens, representatives of State Organizations, and by others representing the white ministers of the city. Because of the deplorable condition of the colored people of Atlanta, many of whom had lost all in the big conflagration, the white congregations raised sufficient money to enable them to entertain the Congress. Referring to this and the use of the Bethel A. M. E. Church by the Congress, Dr. C. B. Wilmer, representing the white ministers of Atlanta, expressed the conviction that conditions all around were getting better. More real instruction in Bible work and Sunday school methods was given at this congress than is usually the case. Instructors were Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, Nashville; Dr. S. N. Vass, Raleigh, N. C.; Dr. F. T. Brown, Minneal, Fla.; S. H. Archer, Atlanta, Ga.; K. H. Reddick, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Joseph A. Booker, Little Rock, Ark; Dr. C. H. Parrish, Louisville, Ky, and others. Demonstration in congregational singing and the power of music in gospel service was demonstrated time and again by E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., of Nashville, who directed the music and the trained chorus of 250 opies. At every session the music was a feature of the program, the singing for the most part being gospel songs. In his annual address Dr. D. W. Cannon, president, emphasized the fact that the National Baptist Sunday School Congress was not an autonomous body, using the name Baptist for prestige and power, but that it was brought into being for the purpose of training teachers and helpers in young people's work. He asserted that its purpose was educational, having the task of instilling into the minds of the young people the fundamental principles of the denomination and a due spirit of reverence for constituted authority. Dr. J. B. Campbell, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, addressed the congress, bringing greetings from that body. His address was responded to on behalf of the congress by Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., president of the National Baptist convention. Pressing the convention included Dr. J. E. Ford of Jacksonville Fla; Dr. W. A. Fountain, president of Brown College, Atlanta, Ga.; John Hope, president of Moorehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; James Morton of the federated churches of Atlanta, Bishop R. A. Carter of the colored Methodist Episcopal church and A. Sanders a business man from Scranton, Pa., who made strong evangelical appeals. The boy cadet movement in charge of John L. Webb, of Yazo City, Missi was reported to have been rapidly growing and in places where, organi SAVANNAH HOME ASSOCIATION SPECIAL SERVICE INSPIRING Rev. T. J. Goodall Preaches Excellent Sermon to Members The special thanksgiving service of Savannah Home Association, which was held last Sunday afternoon at First African Baptist church, Franklin square, was in every way a success and one of the most inspiring services of its kind held here for some time. A large crowd was out to witness the affair and the well prepared program was enjoyed from start to finish. The music for the occasion was furnished by the choir and a chorus of the church. Mr. George M. Brown, the master of ceremonies, very ably made the introductory remarks which were followed by the congregation singing enthusiastically "Onward Christian Soldiers." The solo by Miss Mae Stewart and the duet by Misses Florida and Blanche Johnson were sweetly rendered and elicited much applause, as were also the cornet solo by Mr. C. G. Miller. Rev. Goodall preached an excellent sermon. Precelling the sermon he spoke of the commendable work the association is doing and congratulated the members upon their progressive efforts. Every utterance of his was instructive and wholesome. The dignity of the occasion was easily maintained by his timely and appropriate remarks. The paper by Mrs. Lela White of the Ladies. Branch, was well rendered. President Edward H. Burke of the association, reviewed in part the record of the organization from its beginning. At the conclusion of the program, Dr. F. S. Belcher introduced Judge S. B. Adams who spoke briefly but very interestingly in behalf of the Red Cross fund. The following donations were made: Church $15.00; pastor $10.00; choir $5.00; poor saints $5.00; sexton $3.00 and chorus $2.00; total $40.00. One of the noticeable features of the occasion was the dress of about one hundred and fifty of the members who were attired in palm beach suits. The association formed at the reading room 410 Taylor street, west, and marched to the church. There were more than two hundred members out, and those wearing palm beach suits were lined together. The unusual scene of so many men thus attired, attracted much attention as they paraded to and from the church, and on every side one could hear words of commendation upon their appearance. They indeed made a creditable showing. The procession was in charge of Capt. Julius Maxwell. Mr. A. J. Andrews presided at the church. The regular monthly meeting of the Georgia Social Link met at the home of Mrs. J. P. Hanscome 27 Clairemont Park, Boston, Mass, on June 4. Quite a lengthy discussion was had on the evolution of the colored people from the South. Mme. Claudia C. Allen of Savannah was the honored guest of the evening and gave quite an interesting talk about dear old Savannah and the Georgia colony in Washington. D. C., which was enjoyed by all. The club usually closes its books and doors for the summer but owing to the fact that a large number of Georgians are coming up this summer, has unanimously voted to keep open. Upon request of Mrs. J. P. Hanscome, eight years ago to Dr. Holmes to get together all of the Georgia born they knew and heard of in Boston and organize for the good of the Georgians. And on December 1, 1900 a goodly number met at the home of Mrs. Hanscome and decided to become an organized body because they realized in this great New England city that in union there is strength and they want to grow strong and they are in the lead. The officera installed at that time were: Mrs. J. P. Hanscome, president; Mr. Chas Harris, vice president; Miss May Winter, secretary, (deceased); Mrs. J. Sheppard, treasurer, executive committee Mr. J. T. White, Mrs. J. Hinton, Mrs. R. Rucker, Mrs. C. Johnson. The present officers are Mrs. Nelle Waters, pres; Mrs. Ada Peters, vice president; Mrs. Rachel Davis secretary; Mrs. Julia Foster, treasurer.

Campaign for war funds, Savannah is to raise $100,000.00 of this amount, the colored citizens are asked to do their part by raising $10,000. For this purpose conferences were held last week with several colored citizens. This terminated in a largely attended meeting at St. Phillip church on Saturday last when Secretary Johnson of the Y. M. C. A., who has charge of the campaign was present and explained the movement. After fully discussing the same, it was unanimously agreed to enter the campaign. Dr. F. S. Belcher was elected chairman; Rev. R. V. Branch, vice chairman; Mr. L. E. Williams, treasurer and Prof. R. W. Gadsden, secretary. The following committee was appointed to work our details and manage the campaign: Rev. N, H. Whitmire, Rev. R. V. Branch, Rev. W. L. Cash, Rev. T. J. Goodall, Rev. J. L. Taylor, Rev. E. W. White, Prof. J H. C. Butler, A. B. Singfield, Prof. J W. Hubert, Dr. O. C. Clayborne, Rev. N. W. Clarke, Rev. N. Bembry, Ed. H. Burke, W. W. Mumphris, Dr. F. Belcher, Prof. R. W. Gadsden, L. E. Williams and Sol. C. Johnson. The committee met on Tuesday and determined to have one general day for the collection, Wednesday June 20. It will be called Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. Day. Each church in the city will be used. The respective pastors will appoint a committee of ladies to act as registrars, and the churches are to be opened from 9 a.m. until 10 o'clock at night. There is a spirited rivalry among the pastors as to which church will report the largest amount in proportion to membership. The collection from the public schools is expected to be turned over to this fund. The managers of each manufacturing plant will be asked to urge their employees to contribute to the fund, and the managers act as registrars on that day. Funds are to be turned over to Mr. L. E. Williams, treasurer at the Wage Earners Bank. Judge S. B. Adams, spoke last Sunday afternoon at the F. A. B. church, Franklin square, to more than a thousand people in interest of the campaign. He was readily received and given assurance of support in the movement. Judge Adams is a consistent friend of our people and they always delight in honoring him. Wednesday night St. Philip chapel was crowded, at which time Secretary Johnson explained the necessity of our people donating to the fund. There will be a meeting of all of the ladies of the various churches Monday afternoon at five o'clock at St. Philip A. M. F. Church at which time full explanation will be given of the duties on Registration day. Wednesday next Every man, woman and child should contribute to this fund, thus helping our boys who will be sent in the trenches across the ocean. LITTLE FLORENCE CALLEN FATALLY INJURED BY CAR Was Run Over Monday Afternoon While Playing on Gwinnett Street Little Florence Callen, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morse Callen, was run over Monday afternoon about six o'clock by a street car on Gwinnett street near Mint Broad, and received injuries from which she died about two hours later at Georgia Infirmary. It seems from the evidence given by those who saw the accident, that the little child, while playing, suddenly ran off the sidewalk into the street, just in the path of the approaching car, and before she could get out of the way she was knocked down. The motorman applied the brakes, but too late to save the child. Those seeing the accident ran to the injured child and rendered first aid. She was buried Thursday afternoon. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Mamie Tolbert announces the marriage of her daughter, Elosse Rebecca, to Mr. Frank A.

R.

Hg said, in part: “The South is seeing as perhaps never before since, emancipation the lvery great economic value of the black pas and is willing and ansious t6 co- operate with every movement or or. jztuization Jooking toward the develop. ment of more efficiency on the att | of tlie Negro. { “I hope therefore, that this Confer- ence, expecially those members from ue South, will use every opportunity to help our country by making this large and productive element of ome population as useful economically anc otherwise to their communities as “pos- sible, and the way to do it Is by mak- ing the Negro happy and contented, and the only way to make him eou- tented Is to treat him ay an American citizen, no more and no Tees; and by giving him protection of Hfe and prop- erty and the privilege to live North and South amid decent surroundings; n chance to educate his children and a chance to thoroughly train his Tead- ers.

To the Editor Savannah Tribune, Dear Sir: I wish to write a few lines here about a minister that is really doing a great work among the people of this section. I refer to Rev. I. W. Coles from Sheldon, S. C. It was my good fortune the other Sunday to visit one of the churches that Rev. Coles has really built from the ground up. I refer to the First African Baptist church at Levy, S. C. I went down to this church to speak to the people at the request of Rev. Coles and I really am glad that I took the trip for I found that Rev. Coles really wanted me to come. So often the "Brethren of the Cloth" don't give us very warm receptions when we go to their churches for they think you want a little of the collection, not so with this "Sage from Sheldon" his arms are open and he invites all to come in and join with him and then he sees that they go away satisfied. The services lasted all day, there was a baptism service, the regular sermon, the Lord's supper and then to top the entire day the two lodges of Old Fellows from Hardeville and Bellinger Hill turned out, so by the time we got through we were all very hungry, but Rev. Coles being a preacher knew just how to fix that end of things so we found a table spread right at the church and we really did justice to the entire affair. For the more serious side of the day, I must say a few words. The sermon was on the staying ability of the christian religion, and it was one of the best sermons the writer has heard for a long time, suited exactly to the conditions of the people to whom the preacher was preaching, one of these soul-filling, practical sermons that the average preacher stoops to very seldom. We usually hear so much about the golden streets and so little about "how to treat thy brother right" that a sermon like the one Rev. Coles rendered that Sunday was very helpful. The people at that church really more that man, while the deacons were taking the regular collection, man after man and woman after woman walked past the table, put their money down on the table and instead of going back to their seats they ywalked right to, the pulpit and passed a private donation to the pastor direct. Later they called for the pastor's salary and they marched up to the table and paid again. Then the choir wanted a book for $2.40, they married in again and put down $2.60 the pastor wanted to know what to do with the extra some, one yelled "You keep that for your trouble in getting the book." Then they called for poor collection, $1.27 was raised for that. The first general collection had already been raised to the amount of $21.95. The Odd Fellows raised $10.72 and the second church raised a good collection, so by the time they were through about five o'clock they had raised about $66.00 from about five hundred people and this is a country place where the people were paying $13.00 per barrel for flour etc. Coles has preached in this church for over twenty-five years and he has it in good shape and they raised some money that Sunday to put it in better shape. They expect to take the gallery out and put it in new. They have just paid for two hundred dollars worth of nice pews and the men and women have a mind to work. They were most kind to me while there and I came away feeling that here really was a preacher who was really trying to work for the uplift of fallen humanity. I went down there to speak to our people about raising more on their farms and how to make home more pleasant for the boys and girls. Also they were told that the boll weevil would be upon us very soon and some of the ways to prepare for him. Thanking you very much for this space. I am U. S. Farm Demonstrator. Beaufort. S. C.

M. C. A. Fund of $100,000,000 which is being raised of which this city is asked to contribute $100,000. It is a fund which knows neither color nor creed, but is being raised for the aid the American sick and wounded at the front. The share of this city's fund, which the Negroes are asked to raise is $10,000. This is by no means such an awfully large amount when it is considered that there are probably 45,000 Negroes in and around Savannah, but is going to take much earnest endeavor and sacrifice to secure this amount. It is our duty to raise every penny of this one tenth share of the city's portion of this fund, and we cannot afford to fail to come up to what is desired of us. It is our fund as well as that of other Americans and its expenditure is going to be made irrespective of color. The Negro wounded at the front is going to be looked after in the same palestaking manner as their white brothers; the Negro army Y. M. C. A. work is going to be prosecuted with as much vigor as that among white men in the field therefore, let us not give stintingly or parsimoniously, but to the full extent of our ability, because there is going to be much need of every penny raised for this worthy cause. STUDENT PRESENT GIVING A habit which has been in vogue more or less for many years and one which should be discontinued, is that of the children in our public schools giving presents at the end of the school term to their teachers. These presents have sometimes been given individually by the children and then again they have been given from a fund raised among the pupils of the various grades for the respective teachers, especially by the pupils of the graduating classes to the principals. It is very commendable for pupils to hold their teachers in high esteem and to show their appreciation for the many kindnesses which are shown them throughout the year by the teachers, but the teachers should make it known that they are averse to any show of appreciation which requires a single penny to be raised by their children. All parents go to some little expense in fixing their children up for graduation or promotion day, and many of them are put to their wits end to meet this expense, then for this additional outlay of money for a present for the teacher, though it costs but five or ten cents a child, places an extra burden on parents which oftimes they cannot meet and as a consequence puts the children in a very embarrassing and an uncomfortable position. We have known of instances in which the teachers themselves have encouraged this habit of present giving, and more than one child whose parents were without the required amount of taxation voluntary in words though compulsory in fact, has had to endure the scornful look of disapproval by his classmates because he did not "pony" up the present fee. It is a bad and altogether damaging habit and should be forthwith discontinued. Teachers and principals should let it be known that they desire nothing from their pupils which every smack a monetary value, and that all they wish of them is that they make men and women of themselves of whom their school will be proud. Let the habit cease by having it stopped with the close of school next week. ON TRIAL One thousand Negro men, mostly college men, but all went trained, are being mobilized at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, to be trained as officers for military units. Here is a great opportunity for our young men; this thousand has been declared by competent examiners to be mentally and physically fit for the service; they are on trial before the nation to test whether they possess or may be made to possess those other and rarer qualities so essential to fitness for leadership, and military leadership. These picked men, the talented, as it were, bear a great responsibility in the race equation. There are yet great many people who doubt, or pretend to doubt our fitness, by temperament at least, to be charged with the grave responsibility of military authority and leadership, and it is for the purpose of dispelling this doubt as well as for its invaluable impetus to racial advancement, that these elect must "make good." We wish to express to these sterling youngsters our confidence and firm belief in their ability and capacity to bear creditably this mantle of sacred responsibility, and to charge them in the immortal phraseology: "Quit yourselves like men." NEWS FROM BEAUFORT, S. C. Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, N. C., secretary and general manager of the North Carolina M. & P. Ass'n, made a brief visit to Beaufort last week, reaching here Friday afternoon and leaving for his home Saturday afternoon. He reached here just in time to attend the commencement exercises of the Beaufort High School, at which he was given an opportunity to make few remarks, which he did in his usual happy and enthusiastic style. Saturday morning he spoke to the agents of his company who were gathered at the company's office. Immediately after this he met a very representative group of business men at the law office of J. A. Washington, Esq. To them he made some extended remarks along business lines which will be very helpful to our business men in Beaufort. As a result of this talk the old Business League here will be reorganized and those of our people who are engaged in business will get closer together for their own protection. Remarks were made by several of those present, touching on the questions raised by the remarks of Mr. Spaulding. A very happy feature of this important gathering was the surprise given by a few ladies, who without notice, form or ceremony, came into the office each bearing a walter laden with good things to eat and drink. The delightful lunch consisted of ham sandwiches, sliced tomatoes with sauce, soft drinks, ice cream and cake, followed by cigars. The lunch was followed by an introduction of each lady to Mr. Spaulding, then more talks, until 12:30. On account of the fact that he had to get of on the 1:25 train, the gathering dispersed for their general places of business. The gentlemen present were Mr. C. C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C., Mr. W. H. Harvey, superintendent N. C. M. & P. Ass'n; Messrs Samuel Washington, M. B. Fleming, merchants; E. M. Scott, tailor; N. Jenkins, butcher; R. J. Dingle, watchmaker; H. G. Fisher, undertaker and bvery; A. J. Folk, Dr. N. J. Kennedy, J. I. Washington, attorney; Revs. H. A. Peterson, A. E. Lowrey and W. H. Coston of Sumter. The ladies who surprised us with such a delightful lunch, were Mrs. H. G. Fisher, Mrs. J. I. Washington, Mrs. G. A. Reed, Mrs. A. J. Folk, Mrs. J. S. Blocker, Mrs. Dr. C. S. Simpson and Mrs. Mamle Searson. The commencement exercises of the Beaufort High School Friday evening June 5th, at the First African Baptist church, was one of the most beautiful programs that has been witnesses in Beaufort for years. The entire graduating class did honor to themselves and to the school. Miss Etta M. Washington. Chorus, "Song of the Vikings" Address, Rev. I. E. Lowrey.

Tucker, Cashier This Money is Imperative to Care for Our Fighting Men on Land and Sea How Much Money Will You Sacrifice? CORRECTION PAGE FIVE PAGE SIX Atlanta, Ga., June 11—Physically, it takes hot fire applied to precious metal to demonstrate its intrinsic value and worth. If this proposition should be applied to business matters, surely the revelation of the standard quality of the Georgia Odd Fellows disclosed under the fire of receivership would be exposed to view as a bed rock, business going concern. These facts were discovered after a painstaking investigation into affairs, the investigation being made, not out of curiosity, but from the faithful desire to know for myself and pass along to others the true facts in the case. It takes no formidable knowledge of business affairs to know that as a rule, receiverships usually mean the end of a concern. That has been true of concerns north and south, among the white people—banks, railroads and other corporations. Very few ventures survive a receivership. The merit of the controversy were not before me then, nor are they now, but it did seem little short of downright folly to tie up and jeopardize as property worth over a half million dollars, property that means as much in its way for the success of Negro achievement as does the Tuskegee Institute, if there were no need for it. It must be borne in mind that the receivership of the Georgia Odd Fellows was not undertaken because of the supposed insolvency of the institution. It had to be undertaken to safeguard the property and the interests of the organization, because of the action of the Sub-Committee of Management. The investigation which I undertook disclosed a condition here that is without precedent, north or south among white or black people. There has been a little over a year of the Georgia receivership; cross fires in the courts and consequently entanglements that have rocked the boat from how to stern and still it is strong and staunch as though it had been sailling in calm waters all the time. Within the last two months, the receiver of the Georgia Old Fellows has paid out $100,000 in death claims, accuring within the life of the receivership. Every penny of this money has been paid out of the new money received into the business during the term of the receivership. Not one penny of the corpus of the property, its invested assets, has been used in making these payments. Indeed the body of the property, as the receiver found it when he took charge, is still there, the receiver having been able to pay off and discharge its current obligations out of the current collections. More than this, there has been a surplus over and above the amount required to make these payments, so that the corpus of the estate has been added to. This marks a new wrinkle in the history of all business concerns anywhere and demonstrates the strong hold in the members of Georgia in their business, in its stability, and in its endurance. They have firmly made up their minds that this big playing proposition, which rebounds to the overlasting credit of the leaders in the state, shall be preserved to the race forever. Both Mr. Davis and Mr. Johnson expressed confidence in the final outcome, in the courts, and one would not be accused of meddling in the internal affairs of the Order if he fervently hoped that their confidence would be realized in the highest degree. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C., June 13—Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., has been unanimously upheld by the Board of Trustees of the institution. By a unanimous vote the trustees declared that they alone held legal jurisdiction over the school and they sustained the contention of Miss Burroughs that the National Baptist Convention has no right or title to claim any part of the property. This marks the end of the long drawn out controversy aent the control of this banner school—a controversy without warrant on the part of the National Baptist Convention and which could have had but one logical conclusion. Triumph has come to Miss Burroughs because she is right, and has been doing right from the start. Miss Burroughs announces an enlargement of the plant by the purchase of the Chapman property, a large adjoining tract of land. The commencement exercises went off in sprightly fashion, with hopeful, bright-eyed graduates from every department. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered Sunday, May 27, by Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor of the Olivet Baptist church, New York City. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist church, this city, delivered the address dedicating the library on the 31st and on June 1, Mrs. Mary B. Tal- bert of Buffalo, N. Y., president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, delivered the commencement address. The board of trustees of Howard University met last week and transacted a big batch of accumulated business. The year closed rather abruptly on account of the war and training camp agitation, but it was voted a successful one nevertheless. Hon Wendell Phillips Stafford, of the District Supreme Court, and Bishop John Hurst of the A. M. E. church were elected members of the board of trustees to fill vacancies. A special committee, made up of a group of the trustees, was appointed to scan the educational field and suggest a suitable nominee for the presidency of the University, which is to bid vacant at the close of the next school year because of the resignation of Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, who has filled the post for the past five years. It is given out that pressue will be brought to hear to have the Rev. Dr. John Van Schaick, Jr., consent to have the use of his name in connection with the vacancy. Dr. Van Chack is now president of the board of education for the District and has made a profound impression upon all as a man of power- ful personality, of absolute honesty, of high moral courage of unflinching independence, of broad intellectual courage of earnest sympathy with the strivings of the colored Americans, and of great influence with the leaders in Congressional and high official station, that the suggestion of his name brings a fervent "amen" from every suarter. Those who believe the time is ripe for the election of a colored president are still active in the presentation of their claim. The merits of Kelly Miller. George W. Cooke, W. D. B. Dubois, A. H. Grimke and others will receive attention when the campaign opens in earnest. --- Dr. James L. Shepard, president of the National Training School, Durham, N. C. spent a day or two in the city last week. He reports that his commencement was the most satisfactory the institution has yet held and he is jubilant that the close of the school year found the enterprise wholly free from debt. Money is in sight for additional buildings and equipment and the opening next fall will witness changes and improvements of a most radical character. -0. Advices have been received by Dr. A. M. Curtis from the officers of the National Medical Association to the effect that the annual meeting of the body will be held in August at Philadelphia, instead of Memphis. Tenn. the place originally selected for this year's session. Acute feeling growing out of the recent lynching and burning of a colored man at Memphis is said to be a governing factor in the change. The Washington friends of Lieut-Colonel Charles Young of the 10th Cavalry. have been alarmed to know that this gallant officer has been ordered by the War Department to report to the Commanding officer at Letterman General Hospital, the Presidio of San Franisco, Cal., for observation and treatment. Until ordered to the Presidio, Lieut-Col. Young had been stationed for several months on the Mexican border, and had been recently giving training camp instructions to budding officers of the United States Army. --- Colored pastors and local leaders have been active in stirring up interest among the race in the purchase of "Liberty Bonds." Numerous churches, lodges, schools, trustees of estates and individuals have been buying liberally. --- Mr. L. M. Hershaw delivered the commencement address to the graduates of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla., an institution under the direction of the A. M. E. Church. He made a visit to Atlanta Ga., Upon his return he made a flying trip to New York to attend the annual session of the trustees of Atlanta University. This week he was at College, Ga., near Savannah, speaking in connection with the closing exercises of the Ga. State Industrial college, of which Major R. R. Wright is president. The new bank building of the Industrial Savings and Loan Association will be ready for occupancy about July 1, and the bank will open formerly for business in its new and commodious quarters July 5. The building is two stories in height, of light brick, trimmed with stone and iron cornice work. The resources of the Industrial Savings Bank. May 1, amounted to $54,627.45. This report to the controller of the currency was signed by John W. Lewis president and W. A. Bowle, Logan Johnson and John H. Simms, his associates on the board of directors. Lesson XII.—Second Quarter, For June 17, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John xx, 1-13. Memory Verses, 15, 16—Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. As the next lesson will be the quarterly review, we must endeavor to summarize the last two chapters in this lesson. It may be a little difficult to arrange all the events of the resurrection day and of the forty days before His ascension in their correct order, but that is a grand and comprehensive saying in Acts 1, 3, "He shewed Himself alive by many infallible proofs." Then in John xx, 31, the reason of John's gospel, "These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name." In His great prayer He said to His Father, "This is Life Eternal that they might know thee, the only True God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent" (John xvii, 3). He is alive forevermore, has the keys of hades and of death and has all power in heaven and on earth (Rev. 1, 18; Matt. xxviii, 18), and it is for us to show these facts in our lives that others may know Him too. It does seem an amazing thing that even Peter and John had not received any of His sayings that He would rise from the dead on the third day (verse 9), though he had again and again so plainly said so (Matt. xvi, 21; xvii, 23; xx, 18, 19). Neither had Mary Magdalene nor the other women received these truths, with the one exception of Mary of Bethany. How wonderful that He should appear first to Mary Magdalene and call him by name! (Mark xvi, 9; John xx, 16) His reason for not allowing her to touch Him is so clearly and simply stated in xx, 17, that we cannot but wonder that it does not satisfy every one. The other women met Him a little later and held Him by the feet and worshipped⁹ Him. (Matt. xxviii, 9, 10), so that between these two appearings He must have been to His Father and returned. Between His death and resurrection He was surely with the Father, according to Luke xxiii, 43, 46, but He was on His way to His Father in His resurrection body when He appeared to Mary and called her by name. Some time that day He had a special interview with Peter, then the walk to Emmaus with the two, and in the evening He appeared in the midst of those who were gathered in the upper room, with the doors shut for fear of the Jews. He showed them His hands and His side and twice said, "Peace be unto you" (xx, 19-23). He also commissioned them to go in His name and proclaim the forgiveness of sins. See also Acts xiii, 38, 39. It was on that evening that He said, "A Spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have: handle Me and see that it is I Myself," and He ate a piece of broiled fish and honeycomb before them (Luke xxiv, 33-33). Thomas missed a whole week of peace because he was not with the others that evening. But a week later Jesus came again and with the same "Peace he unto you" and asked Thomas to do just what he had said to the others he would need to do before he could believe that Jesus was risen from the dead. He saw and believed and exclaimed, "My Lord and my God." Jesus said, "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed" (xx. 24-29). We should walk by faith, not by sight, for it is as we believe that we see (John xl. 40; H Cor. v. 7). In chapter xxi we have the record of the seven who went fishing, led into it by Simon Peter, perhaps because they were hungry, had no money and, it may be, had not seen the Lord for some time. Well, their toll was fruitless, for they caught nothing. So it is always without Him—nothing. In the morning some one called from the shore, "Have ye any meat?" and they had to answer, "No." At his blinding they cast the net on the right side of the ship and caught 153 great fishes without breaking the net. Then John recognized the Lord. When they came ashore, before they brought the fish that they had caught, they found that their need had been anticipated, and they saw a fire of coals with fish laid thereon and bread. And Jesus said, "Come and break your fast." Greater faith in Him might have saved them the night of fruitless toil, for the blessing of the Lord makeeth rich, and toll addeth nothing thereto (Prov. x, 22, B. V.). It was at that time Jesus three times asked Simon Peter, "Lovest thou Me?" perhaps because of his threefold denial, and gave him the thrice repeated command, "Feed My sheep and My lambs." He also told Peter by what manner of death he should glorify God, reminding us of Paul's determination that Christ should be magnified in his body either by life or death (xxl, 1S, 19; Phil. 1, 20). As Peter inquired what His plan for John was, Jesus replied: "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou Me" (xxl, 21, 22). The following verse makes it plain that Jesus never meant death when He spoke of His coming. Many are too much concerned about others instead of following Jesus fully themselves. Note that whether it was weeping Mary, or the fearful disciples, or doubting Thomas, or the disappointed fishermen, the cure for all was the revelation of Jesus Himself.

PINAUD Bldg., New York PAGE SEVEN PAGE EIGHT CHATTANOOGA BE HOST TO BUSINESS LEAGUE (Continued from Page One) gation from Oklahoma coming to Kansas City in their autos. Mr. Lindsay has invited a large number of his friends throughout the State of Georgia who own motor cars to arrange to attend the Chattanooga meeting in much the same way as did the party from Oklahoma last year. Dr. C. H. Johnson of Atlanta, and Dr. E. D. Bowden of Griffin, have been asked to co-operate with Mr. Lindsay and invitations are to be extended to the representative citizens in other communities like Augusta, Macon, Albany, Athens, Waycross, Valdosta, etc. It is Mr. Lindsay's purpose to have the parties from the various cities of Georgia assemble at some specific place like Atlanta and then go to Chattanooga in a body. An exhibition of 40 or 50 automobiles owned by Negroes will no doubt make a profound impression at Chattanooga. Aside from the features of the meeting which have been enumerated above, the entertainment committee of the Chattanooga league is arranging a program of social features entirely in keeping with the entertainments received by the Business League in previous years. The officials of the various railroads and lines of the Southeastern territory have been most liberal in their assurances of co-operation. Mr. E. T. Atwell, transportation agent for the Business League, is at present in correspondence with the various railroad officials in an endeavor to secure the best possible rates and accommodations. As soon as his plans are perfected, announcement will be made covering the matter. D The meeting last year gave the most encouraging assurances that the men and women of the race, who through the agency of the National Negro Business League were so richly aided and encouraged, by the life of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the league's founder, are determined that the organization shall not suffer for lack of support, and throughout the year, many of the letters received at Tuskegee have served to indicate the continued growth and spread of this sentiment. The officers of the league are determined that each year the league's discussions must serve to inspire and encourage our people along the most progressive lines of business thought. Information relative to the plan and purpose of the Business League movement will be sent of requested, by J. C. Napier, president, Nashville, Tenn.; T. J. Elliott, chairman Executive Committee, Musgrove, Okla, or Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. NEARLY THOUSAND ATTEND SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS (continued from Page One) ized to have stimulated a remarkable increase in the Sunday schools on the part of the lads. Departmental meetings were held by the various groups of the Sunday school, Missionary workers, superintendents, Metokas and Galelas, by cadets and the like. The others elected for the ensuing year were: President, D. W. Cannon, Georgia; vice president at large, W. H. Jernagin, Washington, D. C.; vice president, J. F. Kersh, Oklahoma; J. E.

Butler, Kansas; statistician, D. L. Pounds, Ala; auditors, J. F. Clark, Louisville and W. A. Hutchinson, Kansas. Strong resolutions urging the purchase of Liberty Bonds, introduced by W. H. Jernagin, of Washington were unanimously passed by the convention. The resolution recited a deep sense of duty of every American citizen to rally to the support of the country and appealed to patriotism. The resolution was so forceful that it was printed by the national publicity committee and distributed widely. The executive board of the National Baptist Convention met in Atlanta during the session of the congress and read the program for the convention which will be held in Muskogee in September. The meeting was presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., president of the convention. A committee was appointed to take up with President Wilson the appointment of Negro chaplains for the new regiments and also to secure his assistance in the protection of American missionaries in Africa. Colocident with the passage of resolutions by the Congress condemning the other faction in the National Baptist Controversy, and pledging support to the convention came a telegram from Nashville, signed by Noah W. Cooper, a prominent white lawyer and member of the Southern Methodist church there, asking, that five representatives meet with five from the Boyd faction in Nashville on a date THE COTTAGE already fixed, which would really be during the Boyd congress. The telegram was addressed to Dr. P. James Bryan and was replied to by that individual who stated that such a meeting could not be arranged. Galveston, Texas won the next convention over Indianapolis, Ind. The musical contest, in which plantation melodies, gospel songs and anthems were sung by the Union Gee Club of Memphis and Nashville, Wheat Street Choral Club, Atlanta and the Mt. Vernon Choral Club, Newnan, Ga., attracted a large crowd of the Auditorium-Artistry. The banner was won by the Tennessee shoppers who had been drilled after reaching Atlanta by B. W. D. Isaac, Jr. and B.S.R. Barnes. EXECUTIVE-BOARD-MEETING Nashville, Tenn June 10—Officials of the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, held their session here. Rev. E. P.
