The Reasons For Attending Business League LARGE DELEGATION EXPECTED FROM MANY STATES Representatives from Savannah to go In Automobiles Tuskegee Inst, Ala., July 28.—One of the Business League's good friends has submitted the following five good reasons why the meeting this year should be well attended: "First—Chaitanooga and Lookout Mountain are historic battlefields of the Civil War and it is opportune, as our country enters upon the stage of the world war to help perpetuate the ideals of democracy, that the meeting place submitted will permit the delegates to visit the battle-scarred hills which played so conspicuous a part in democracy in America. "Second—Migration and other economic changes going on throughout the country are affecting the business life of the Negro. A serious discussion of these questions will be a feature of the session. "Third—Let us pledge by our presence our loyal support to the newly-elected president, Hon. J. C. Napier. His first annual address will be, a message of hope and encouragement for the race. "Fourth—There has never been a time in the history of our race in this country when there was greater need for multidived co-operation and mutual helpfulness, than at present. The Business League was founded in the spirit of co-operation and helpfulness. Fifth—War is rapidly transforming trade conditions in this country. A wider knowledge of business principles such as comes from exchanging experiences during the session of the Business League will serve to fortify the business men of the race for patriotic service and to aid the organization in co-operating with other great national bodies which are working to keep the arteries of American trade pulsing with activity." Following the announcement that His Excellency, Governor Tom C. Rye, of Tennessee, had positively accepted the invitation to deliver the address of welcome to the delegates and visitors on behalf of the state of Tennessee, increased interest was immediately noticed and the railroads have co-operated with E. T. Attwell; Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; the transportation Agent, and given the most encouraging assurances of support. The delegates from the eastern states and Virginia., the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and portions of Alabama may be routed through Atlanta. It has been arranged to have a National Negro Business League special train leave Atlanta, at 12:30 p. m., August 14, and arrive at Chattin inoga at 6:30 p. m. It is hoped that as many delegates as possible will take advantage of this special train. Delegates living in Florida are especially urged to communicate at once with Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League 132 Broad street, Jacksonville, Fla. Alabama delegates are asked to communicate at once with H. T.

The opinion of the Sub-Committee of Management of Odd Fellows which met in Philadelphia, Pa., several weeks ago relative to the affairs of the Georgia Odd Fellows has been eagerly awaited by thousands of the members of the order in this state; The case grew from charges preferred against the officers, and which resulted in the suspension of the grand master and grand secretary and the revocation of the grand lodge charter. The case has been pending for more than a year and has been bitterly fought by both sides in the courts of Georgia. Elsewhere in this issue is published the findings of the Sub-Committee, under the caption "Opinions in Georgia Cases."

CITY TO COMBAT RACE HATRED September 16 to 18, the Racial Get. Together Days New York, N. Y., July 30.—Following the silent parade of colored school children in this empire city of the nation on Saturday, under the management of an organized colored committee, as a protest against the public murder of colored women and children at East St. Louis, comes the announcement that the National get-together of the colored race to form plans of campaign to combat and resist the fresh crusade of race hate and race prejudice in the U. S. A., will be held in Mother Zion church, West 136th street, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 16, 17, and 18. This get-together of the race is called by Rev. Byron Gunner of Hillburn as president of the National Equal Rights League, the organization which made organized labor declare its position on the St. Louis massacre, thus giving Col. Roosevelt his chance to confuse and confound Samuel Gompers. The three days' convention will consist of two features, the second annual Congress called by the league, followed by the regular annual meeting of the league. The colored people of every community are urged to form a citizens' committee to provide for a delegate, and all local branch leagues are requested to get active to the same end, while all religious, fraternal and civic bodies are also asked to be repre-ent- ed. Rev. Byron Gunner of Hillburn. N. Y., as president; Wm. Monroe Trotter, 34 Cornhill, Boston, as correspondence secretary, solicit inquiries and correspondence to make their national get-together, while the world is at war for democracy, on unusual success. Will leaders in every community take hold at once. The forty-fifth session of the District Conference of the Savannah annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church convened at Alley, July 25-29, with Rev. James N. Jackson as presiding officer. The delegation was large, there being representation from fifteen pastoral charges. On Thursday morning the welcome address was delivered to the conference by Mrs. H. Horne of Alley, and Rev. Wm. Meliqu of Baxley responded. The spirit of the welcome existed throughout the entire stay, and the hospitality expressed in no unmistakable terms in the address of welcome was well established in the heart of each delegate before many hours had been spent in the town. The business sessions pertained solely to the spiritual and financial growth of the church, and were very profitable and inspiring to all concerned. Almost every report showed marked improvement on those of the previous year and reflected credit to the several pastors in charge. Much commendation is due the district superintendent for his concise ruling and kindly direction in all matters concerning the progress of the district. Dr. A. King, president of Clarke University, visited the conference, bringing greetings from the district conference then in session at Augusta, Ga., and also from Bishop F. D. Loete. Dr. King addressed the conference at length, laying stress upon the educational status of the Negro and the changing attitude of the South in his favor. He urged the ministers and laymen to ideal manhood, efficiency and self appreciation. The body listened with much pride to the many incidents of credit that were related as to the Negro's patriotism. Finally, he urged that all obligations previously pledged to Clarke University by this conference be sustained and in so doing assist in placing this institution on a more self-supporting basis. The conference set itself on record by adoption resolutions that set forth their views on the unification of the M. B. Church, North and South. Demonstrator Williams Holds Meeting FARMERS MUCH BENEFITED BY HISWORK Several Prominent Savannahians at Sylvania Meeting The work of Mr. E. A. Williams, county demonstrator, is proving to be of wonderful value to the people of Chatham county and adjoining counties. As the Slogan goes "Can all you can can" great interest is being manifested by the members of the canning clubs in having every available jar and can filled with food stuffs for the coming winter. Assisting Mr. Williams in his demonstration work on July 25, were Mrs. W. G. Hill, M. J. Smitherman of the State College and Miss Juanita Conyers. This canning demonstration was held at Lawton Grove, Sylvania, Ga. The members of the canning club did all their canning in Royal Canner which was bought by the members of the club. The work was carried on under the shade of beautiful oak trees, where the happy workers could enjoy the precious blessings of nature's breeze, while they carnestly canned all they could. This work continued until the shadow of the evening fell, which brought the day of wonderful success to a close with the results of canning four hundred and fifty No. 2 cups of tomatoes. On Thursday and Friday of the same week the third Annual Farmer's mass meeting was held in the court house at Sylvania. These meeting were very interesting as each speaker had some valuable information to give. The mayor of the city spoke on Thursday and in his address of welcome he not only gave the key of the city to the farmers, but also offered to help financially if need be. Among some of the other prominent speakers of the different days were Mrs. Hill, Miss Convers, Mr. Smitherman, Mr. LaDell of the Central of Georgia railroad, Dr. Van Bureau of Statesboro, Prof. James and Mr. Jones. The presidents and members of the different canning clubs were given time to tell of their work. All of the reports were interesting. Friday some business men of Savannah motored up to attend and take part in the meeting. In the party were Messrs. Pollard, E. W. Sherman, Hubert, W. S. Scott and F. B. Pettie. They were well pleased with conditions. In the meeting it was decided to have a president that would preside over the next mass meeting. Mr. Peter Washington, of Wadley Ga., a prominent farmer was elected as president. Mr. Lane Millen, vice-president; Mr. Lawton of Syllania, secretary, and assistant Mrs. W. G. Hill. At the close of the sessions each farmer expressed his appreciation of the opportunity in having such meetings, and returned home with the determined hope of doing more and better farming. DK. MIDDLETON ORDERED INTO ACTIVE SERVICE Will Leave Next Week For Fort Oglethorpe Dr. C. C. Middleton who recently received a commission as first lieutenant in the medical reserve corps, will leave next week for Fort Oglethorpe. He received notification last week to this effect from Surgeon General Gorgas of the United States army. Dr. Middleton has already applied to city council for a leave of absence from the city physiclanship which he has held here for a number of years. Dr. Middleton is a graduate of Knoxville College, Tenn., and the University of Michigan. He is one of the best known and most efficient young professional men of the city. He is the second member of his family to go into the army service, a younger brother, Mr. L. G. Middleton, being already at the officers training camp at Des Moines, Ia. The spiritual services and also the literary discussions were a source of uplift. During the week several accessions were made to the church. Services were conducted on Sunday in all the churches by the leading ministers of the conference. A very impressive memorial service was conducted Sunday afternoon by Rev. Wm. Daniels of Palen, Savannah, after which the conference adjourned to meet at St. Mary's Ga. Tribune. SUPREME GRAND TEMPLE OF THE U. B. OF A. The Supreme Grand Temple of the United brotherhood of America, one of the leading and progressive Fraternal organizations of this section of the country, which was founded by Prof. W. D. Kennedy in -09, and which has grown so rapidly that it now has branches throughout Georgia, and nearly all of the adjoining states, held its Biennial Session at Beach Island, S. C., 'Alken County on July 23rd to 25th, inclusive. A large delegation from the entire jurisdiction was present, and an enthusiastic meeting was held.

The Supreme Grand Architect's report covering every phase of the work, together with his recommendations, was unanimously adopted. The reports submitted by J. S. Perry, Supreme Grand Scribe, show the order has a membership of approximately five thousand (5000) men, women and children, united under the banner of the U. B. of A. The report of the S. G. R. of F., J. H. Butler, showed that the cash balance on hand, real estate, bonds, and other investments and assets amount to over fifteen ($15,000) thousand dollars. The Hall and Mercantile Association, which is the business department of this order, was shown to be in the most excellent condition. The following are the officers: W. D. Kennedy, S. G.

At last the colored citizens of New York City, have realized a long felt want, for they have now provided themselves with a modern and up-to-date club house and will in the future make a specialty of providing suitable lodging room and board to representative men visiting and passing through the city. The handsome and modernly equipped building recently purchased at 184 West 135th street is now ready and will be used for the convenience of the members of the United Civic League, and the accommodation of the public. The League's building is without a doubt the only place in the big city offering the equipment and the facilities, it is provided with and without a doubt also shows the rapid strides of the United Civic League, which was founded by John M. Royall, and a few other loyal citizens in the year 1913, for elective representation throughout the state of New York and nation, and for political justice and an equal administration of the law. The large and lengthy basement can be converted for the use of many athletic events, or for business purposes, while the main floor consists of a reception and reading room, a large auditorium for entertainments and social functions. On the second floor there are four extra large light rooms for office use with steam, light and janitor services included. Adjoining these to the rear is the large bath room and the manager's room. The third floor has three finely furnished large light airy rooms for gentlemen lodges, by day of by month, and off these is a large dining room, pantry and kitchen which is occupied by Caterer Watkins for the serving of business men's lunch and catering to special parties. The United Civic League's motto is "Pulling together" and the officers are John M. Rogall, president; W. H. Willis, first vice president; J. B.

PAGE TWO SUMMER BLOUSES AND SKIRTS FOR VACATION TIME For Service as well as Smartness are the White Tub Waists and Skirts to Go With Them New York July 27.—Vacation time, brings the need for more than the usual number of practical clothes—this, we all know by experience. Among other things, those who plan their vacation wardrobes with foresight will include a goodly number of separate waists and skirts. The waists may even be planned with a view of wearing them in the fall with the coat suit or with separate skirts. From the comfortable morning smock to the sheer and dainty blouse for afternoon wear, there is certainly a very large variety of interesting blouses this summer. The practical white blouse that launders nicely is deservedly a favorite, for when fresh from the tub it never fails to give the wearer that © MCCALL crisp, fresh look, whether it is worn with white or colored skirts. In the sheer blouses, voile, organdie and handkerchief linen are the materials most used, but this summer they are also wearing blouses of China silk, which material launders perfectly and is just as cool as possible. To accompany these, there are skirts of white tub satins and sports silks which are made up in pleated or gathered models. These soft wash skirts are especially practical in the gathered styles. They are shirred at the waist and sometimes finished with a heading and belt. A number of these have pretty gathered or shirred pockets which make them ever so much attractive. For service as well as smartness there is nothing better than the white gabardine skirt, which has no fear of the tub. It is very much in demand this summer and sometimes comes with colored stripes or dots. Skirts of silk or wool jersey in white and colors are, of course, very smart this season. A new model developed in green wool jersey is shown in the accompanying sketch. It is made with a plain panel in front, and the sides and back are slightly gathered. The novel feature of this skirt is the pocket section at the side. Many of the new skirts show this feature treated in various ways. In the design illustrated, the pointed ends of the lower section are buttoned to the upper section. One of the smart blouses of the season which would be a welcome addition to any woman's wardrobe is pictured with this skirt. It is a fine handkerchief linen with an embroidered spray across the front, and collar and cuff edged with a narrow lace. This is a blouse that slips on over the head, and as it has nothing to interfere with the embroidery, which spreads itself across the front. Laces and hand-drawn work are other decorations used for summer blouses with charming effect. The success of gingham has been quite amazing and it is interesting to follow the development of frocks of this material. The tie-on frocks of gingham with white pique collars and cuffs have been exceedingly popular and now those of goile and gingham combined seem to be making as strong an appeal to women as the former. The striking contrast of bright volle with brightly colored plaids is apparently very much favored. In some models the waist is entirely of white and the skirt, collar and cuffs of the plain gingham. In other designs a section of the waist as well as the skirt, is made of gingham. The model for misses illustrated here shows this effective development with collar, sleeves and sides of the dress of white voile and the main part of the dress of gingham. The draped skirt shown in this design is a feature which would be noted, for draperies of this kind are very prominent at present. This style of drapery BUTLER FAMILY GROCERIES DRINKS, ETC.

The side draperies' on the skirts offer a very © MCCALL Showing the New Gingham and Voile Combination Showing the New Gingham and Voile Combination refreshing change from the straight lines, though they have by no means supplanted them. Draperies are not only placed about the hips but often fall as low as the knees and even a little lower at times. There are draped, tunics, also, which are particularly pretty in soft evening dresses. Organole as a Trimming A dress of ruffled organole or batiste is one of the smart things to have this summer. Organdie collars with rows of tiny hemstitched self ruffles have been very popular to go with dresses and suits of wool material. Now they are being used on summer frocks of batiste and mull. On a dress of deep rose-colored mull, this ruffled organelle, in white, was used for a large collar which extended down to the waist and crossed in front. It was also used for the cuffs and gathered pockets and even placed at the hem of the skirt with the ruffles in up-standing position. These tiny ruffles are about half an inch in width and placed close together, almost overlapping one another. Collar and cuff sets in this style, of white or light blue, are worn with dark blue dresses, and sometimes fine lace takes the place of the organdie ruffles. Beth Eden Baptist church, Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor. Sunday was a great day in Zion. The members turned out in full to welcome our pastor back. He is looking fine after a much needed rest. He preached two acceptable sermons which were both spiritual and educational. Sunday school was fairly attended. Keep in mind the annual picnic and don't miss it. Prayer meeting Tuesday evening and preaching Thursday evening. Young People's meeting each Sunday at 6:30 p. m. Communion next Sunday night. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY AUGUST 4. 1917 The Suffragists released from the Washington workhouse by the favor of an indulgent President express great indignation because persons "belonging to the best families and having the proudest American blood in their veins" were forced to associate with Negro women. It appears that when family and blood get themselves into prison for disorderly conduct they naturally fall out of their own set for a season. Yet some of the colored women were under punishment probably for offenses similar to that which brought their white sisters to grief. They may have smashed furniture or crockery, belabored somebody with a broomstick, paraded menacingly in front of a neighbor's house or interfered with traffic by causing crowds to assemble—in other words disorderly conduct. Presumably the people whom they bedevilled were unknown and the districts which they terrorized were humble. The intended victim of the Suffragists was the President of the United States and the scene of their unlawful demonstrations was the White House. If there are to be any distinctions in workhouses, something might be said in favor of the colored women in this case. It is within the range of possibilities that they regarded the best families and the proudest blood with reciprocal disfavor, for whatever the disorderly colored women may do in her own circle, she is usually patriotic and has great respect for the President of the United States, whoever he may be. Fortunate for the Suffragists, a man holds the Chief Magistracy. With the average woman in that office, family and blood would have served their sentences in full, precisely as color is doing. —Editorial from the New York World —Editorial from the New York World ST.

Among The Masons Impressions by the Way Did it ever occur to you that there is very little excuse for any Mason being suspended for non payment of dues? The dues of most ladges are small, as a rule not exceeding $4.00 per year. It matters not what the circumstances of a member may be he can pay this small sum if he wants to and the whole matter is one of his own regulation. Just a little one cent per day will take care of the obligation and there is no man too poor to raise this small sum. Then why should we extend pity to the brother who allows his dues to accumulate and then comes forward with the plea that he is too poor to pay. The fault is not with his circumstances but with his own disposition and inclination to meet his obligation. If lodges would insist upon the yearly payment of dues and would discipline those who refuse to pay up much of the "too-poor to pay" argument would be done away with and the list of those suspended be greatly lessened. Lodge prosperity depends wholly upon the man who is at the helm. If the presiding officer is one of those men who believes that "whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well," then the success of the lodge is assured. But if he belongs to that class who are being promoted by friends merely that he may have the coveted honor of being dubbed a Past Master and who follows the policy of getting through with a thing the easiest way possible, then it is reasonable to suppose that the lodge will decay and its usefulness be greatly impaired. A live Master means a live lodge and the converse is equally true. In nine cases out of ten where it is found that a lodge is not prosperous and is barely existing it will be found that the trouble is with the master who, lacking in intreest soon finds his example followed by his officers and members. On the other hand the election of a live wire as master of a lodge has often resulted in restoring to usefulness an inactive lodge and brought prosperity and interest. The moral of all this dissertation is to properly officer your lodge and then there will be but little chance for stagnation.—Illinois Freemason. Faith may end in sight, Hope in fruition, but through Charity alone we may enter the beautiful gates of that Eternal city. Charity is ever watchful to turn aside the barbed shafts of envy and malice, from the unfortunate brother while covering his fault with her broad mantle. Many a weak but well meaning brother has been saved from becoming a moral derelict and physical wreck, by the loving hand of a brother Mason. Every Mason is more or less his 'brothers' keeper and that charity that stands by a falling brother, covering his faults from public gaze, giving the kind, willing hand to stay his downward steps, is the charity that Masonry teaches. The spirit of the times is to tear down and wreck a character at the last chance or provocation stealing that which-doth not enrich them but leaves the victim poor indeed. But Masonry teaches us to feel a brother's woe, to hide the faults we see with that broad mantle of brotherly love, charity. I seriously believe the introduction of so many secret orders with benefit attachments, has drawn our minds from the great teachings of Masonry, "To promise nothing but do all things in charity or love." Some poor weak minds are blinded to the great principles and teachings of Masonry by the promise of a few paltry dollars in cash benefits. I have no fight to make on beneficiary orders and am making none. They no doubt appeal to the human side of man. I am writing from the high Masonle standpoint as I see it. From that standard I. do object to putting Masonry on a level with insurance or benefit secret orders. Masonry is a broad, charitable institution that teachers its votaries to honor God and help his brother over the rough road of life without fee or reward or the hope thereof. Some may have failed to carry out this great lesson, but that does not prevent or alter this truth. Such members hurt themselves more than Masonry. It has lived and will live long after such members are dead and forgotten. Masonry always helps the needy, some it is true, with a paltry nickle, but, thank God, most of us go the limit and reap a glorious harvest. Charity is not giving of our abundance, but that unbounding love that every true Mason feels for every true man who knelt at our sacred altar and offered his grateful orisons to our great Creator. By their fruits we know them. I trust,ren. let us have more of this charity.—Selected. E. A. B. CHURCH BOLTON STREET F. A. B. church, Bolton street.

But this has not been a county of farming, There has always™ been too little truck farming and almost no planting of “long” crops...

The “Silent Protest” parade, in ‘which 10,000 colored people recently marched down Fifth Avenue, in New York City, was as significant as it was uncanny and unusual. It is the first fime any Such thing has ever attempted by Negroes, and yet the New York World says of it that “it was character- iced by perfect orderliness, except for the possible offensiveness of some of their banners, It was impressive be- yond the measure of most parades, ns being 2 public demonstration by a race against oppression by another mice, un- der a democracy. It was thus a hu- man document of a different kind from the customary processions of white marchers, whether strikers, socialists or suffragists.” The World concludes its comment with this important suggestion that, ‘At east it should Induce the people of the United States to take serfous thought of the conditions which have actuated the public demonstration by Negroes and tend to influence public sentiment In behalf of even justice to the race.” - ‘The high significance of this unusual phenomenon lies In the fact that it In- dicates that the Negroes of the Unlted States are thoroughly aroused and alive to their status and peril in this coun- try; that they mean to put the world on notice of what American democracy. american falr-play.

Lesson VI.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 5, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xxxiii, 1-20—Memory Versees, 12, 13—Golden Text, Isa. iv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. There are so many things in the affairs of this world which we cannot understand that we can only find rest in remembering that the Lord liveth, and He is not discouraged, and He shall finally subdue all things unto Himself. It therefore becomes us to rest in the Lord and wait pattently for Him (Isa. xlll, 4; Rev. xvll, 14; Ps. xxxvll, 7; Phil. ill, 10, 21). That Ahaz should be such a wicked king, Hezekiah, his son, such a good king and Manasseh, his son, such a monstrosity of iniquity is surely a strange sequence of events, which I certainly do not profess to begin to understand, but I rest in Him who foresees and overrules all things. There is something worthy of prayerful consideration in the fact that Hezekiah had fifteen years added to his life after his serious illness (Isa. xxxvll, 5), but did not render to God for this extension of time as he should have done (II Chron. xxxlll, 25). Manasseh must have been born about three years after that illness, as he was twelve years old when he began reign (xxxiii, 1), and the question presents itself. Was it a real blessing to Hezekiah to have his life thus prolonged? When we are determined to have our own way God sometimes indulges us, even though He knows, it is not the best thing for us, as when He gave Israel their request, but sent leanness into their soul (Ps. exx, 15). A mother once told me that when her two boys were very young they were sick into death, but she would not give them up, and God let them live. But they grew up to give her a broken heart. Whole hearted submission to the perfect will of God is the better way. Contrast the Lord Jesus at the age of twelve about His Father's business and returning to the lowly home at Nazareth, there to be subject to Mary for the next eighteen years (Luke ii, 225). Manasseh's reign was the longest of any of the kings of Judah, fifty-five years, and part of it was the very worst, according to the record in lesson verses 3-10. He wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord and caused Judah and Jerusalem to err and to do worse than the heathen whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel, and, though the Lord spake to him and to his people, they would not hearken (verses 2, 6, 9, 10). He was surely controlled by the devil during that part of his reign. The Lord permitted the kings of Assyria to take him and bind him and carry him to Babylon, and there in his affliction he humbled himself greatly before God and prayed unto Him, and God heard him aid brought him again to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then he knew that Jehovah was God (verses 11-13). In the Apocrypha there is a prayer recorded as his, part of which is: "Thou, O Lord, according to Thy great goodness, hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against Thee. * * * I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea; * * * I have set up abominations and have multiplied offenses. O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities, wherefore, I humbly beseech Thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquities." Whatever his actual prayer was, God, who reads the heart, saw that he was sincere and abundantly pardoned him, according to Isa. lv. 7. Whatever encouragement there is in this and in the conversion of Saul of Tarsus and of the penitent thief for any and every sinner, however great, to turn to the Lord, for He came to save sinners, and His word ever stands, "Him that cometh to me I will in nowse cast out" (John vi, 37). He is not willing that any should perish and has no pleasure in the death of the wicked (II Pet. ill, 9; Ezek. xxxiii, 11). His cry to sinners is, Look unto me and be saved; incline your ear and come unto me, hear and your soul shall live. And to His own who have wandered He cries: O that they were wise, that they would consider their latter end! O that my people had hearkened unto me and Israel had walked in my ways! (Isa. xlv, 22; lv. 3; Deut. xxxil, 29; Ps. lxxxi, 13). When restored to Jerusalem and to his kingdom he endeavored to right some of the wrongs he had done and to bring forth fruits meet for repentance. He offered peace offerings and thank offerings unto the Lord and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel (verses 14-17). Such a change in such a man must have impressed many and turned many to the Lord, but we shall see as we go on in our lessons that the turning of the people away from God was very desperate, and it was not long until Judah was carried into captivity for her sins. The turning away from God and His word in our day is as God foresaw that it would be (II Tm. ill. 1-5; iv. 3, 4; II Pet. ill. 3, 4; Luke xvii. 26-30), but He will build His church and take her to Himself and bring her back with Him in glory, and Israel shall then welcome Him, and they shall never be unrighteous any more, but shall be a blessing to all nations, and the earth shall be filled with His glory through Israel, His chosen messengers, according to Ps. Ixvii. graphy JOHNSTON, PHOTOGRAPHER & INSTRUCTOR You to be a good and famous photographer. This can to any who is interested and has a common school can have you making a good picture in 30 days.

BAPTIST MENISTERS’ UNION ‘The Baptist ministers met Monday in thelr regular session. Rey. G. W. Brown conducted the devotional ser- vices. He read for a scripture les- son a part of the 25th chapter of Matthew. Invocation was said by Rev. Brown. Rev. D. W. Cannon of At- ‘lanta was the guest of the union, Rev. Cannon is now succeeding himself as president of the Baptist Young Peo- ple’s Congress of America. Much i terest is being manifested in the as- sembling of the National Baptist Con- yention at Muskogee, Okla. in Sep- tember. THE NEGRO PERSPECTIVE Except for that small number of struggling, yearning, hoping Negroes of broader yisfon than the rest, except those who study the signs of the times, few are observing the turbulent mael- strom of world-war, its terrible con- concdmitants and after-effects, with re- gard to its possibly stupendous meaning to ten millious of Negro Americans. There is a group of serious-minded men “watching the “leaning of the straws,” however, men who feel and ope and pray-that out of this awful cataclysm, this fearful handiwork of God, may yet be born a fuller free- dom, x real democracy, true emancl; pation from unnecessary and man- ‘made suffering im the world. | Few Americans if any, can grasp the terrible meaning of modern war- fare and its attendant horrors; few shave the capacity for imagining its direful detail of destruction, demorali- zation und death. None can conjec- ture the vastness of its span,—terri- torial, social, industrial and — moral. It has shattefed ‘world-ideals, develop- ed thru the ages; it has mocked our Civilization that it has been possible at’ all. Thg courageous American mind cannot conceive the thought that were it not for the British navy and the French and Relgian soldiery, the imperial provisional governments of Germany had already been established at Washington and goyernors thereof already taking orders from Berlin. War is a new thing, a new lesson for American statesmanship and military genius. The immortal Sherman, tn giving vent to the.famous dictum, that, “War is hell,” must have foreshaday- ed the present day. He spake pro- phetically, and better than he knew. SUM he had but the fore-taste ef the world’s present pitiless "possession. President. Wilson, now face to face with the stern realities of actual war- fare, its exigencies and emergencies, has announced as the great Ameri. can war-principle, that we are fight. ing for world democracy and the se- curity of human rights. _Tnternation- a} diplomatic exchanges, as revealed by published communications, partici- pated in by all the allies, would in- dicate the fullest democracy, to indi- vidual and nation, the security of per- sonal liberty and opportunity to every subject, are the great prizes to be won by German subjugation, by the de struction of autocratic militarism. | If the several natfons are conscien- tlously Inspired by these high motives, victory will be theirs, though It be at severe sacrifice and long-delayed. If {ther dre actuated by selfishness, and have reserved ansthing as to their subject peoples, they cannot endure Many statesmen already fear the prob lem of Fe-adjustment, at the “peace table,” after the war. The great majority of mankind is marstated on the side of those who fight for freedom and full democracy, and énee the common people, the op. pressed, the under-men of all nations, are made to understand clearly, that they are really fighting for a man’s chance for themselves, thelr children and their children's children, that thet: salvation and emancipation lie in vie tory for the allies, the allied armies will possess a devotion, a spiritof self: sacrifice, a daring and determination. a morale, a military efficiency which it cannot otherwise possess, Tinqualified loyalty in every subject is essential to perfect national organ- ization, for eny nationa) purpose.

The nation must hold noth- ing back from the subject—the allies must be frank with each other, to se ‘cure an invincible fighting whole. Long before the war began the best of German scholarship was set to work to cement fhe Germanic peoples, by & campaign of publicity, into the most efficlent fighting unit. Every indi- vidual was made acquainted with the impulses and motives which actuated, inspired and drove the Fatherland on. How well they succeeded is indicated by thelr amazing endurance under such frightfully adverse and overwhelming odds. The creation and development of national spirit and morale 1s just as much a preparedness measure as munitions making and food supply control. In fact, national loyalty and patriotism are processes, growths, Some thinking Americans under- stand this theory of war thoroughly. More ought to, understand it, for it fs j Written into the experiences and histo- |rles of all the nations of the earth, ,that yrhen nations have striven for | high motives of democracy and person- jal Uberts, they have remainéd in the ascendant; shen they have forsaken iat snered national duty thelr star jas been dimmed or eclipsed. { Some Americans of shorter visloz jAre willing to hazard the destinies of jthe nation, even in a supreme crisis jlke. the present, withouf coming ow jin the open for unmistakable fair splay. ‘They make adroit speeches take ambig~ous ngsitions on great pub Ne, social, industrial and political questions: fin a word, they are fo1 nationsl unity, for democracy, with reserrotion.

Dear Sir: The undersigned, is, and has been sole "owner and proprietor", of the Adyocate Printing Company, from October 20, 1916 to the present, hence the publication to the contrary, in to-day's issue of The Savannah Tribune, in your weekly letter, is misleading, in that it miss-states facts that a considerable portion of the public has known for some time, does me an injustice and shows a lack of proper investigation on your property. Do me the kindness to correct this error through the same medium, next week, and you will greatly oblige. Jno. D.

BARBERSHOP WILLIAMS GETS DECISION OVER RUSSELL Montgomery Boy Put Out After Foul ing Local Boy After five rounds of a most gruelling contest in which both boys scored a knock-down each. Barbershop Williams of this city was awarded the fight Monday night at the Airdome against Jack Russell of Montgomery, Ala. A good sized crowd was out to the scrap which was scheduled for fifteen rounds. Both boys put into execution everything they had and from the beginning it was evident that a tough fight was on. The first round was a feeler for both and whi le Williams got in a few stiff punches to the body Russell evened up maters by landing heavily upon the head. In the second round the real gruelling started. Russell rushed the Savannah boy and after a few clever stunts landed an upper cut to the jaw which floored the local favorite. After a count of seven Williams rose and during the remainder of the round rushed Russell off his feet scoring a knockdown with a stinging left swing to the jaw. Russell seemed to be in bad shape as he rose after a count of eight and during the rest of the round was barely able to hang on. The fourth round found Williams trying for a knockout-but the Alabamaan by nice ring generalship held his own and the round closed without any damage being done to either boy. The fight went on about evenly waged until the sixth round when in a clinch Russell deliberately struct Williams three blows below the belt. The referee saw the foul and awarded the contest to Williams. BIG FIGHT CARD AT AIR DOME NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT A corking good fight card will be presented at the Airdome next Friday night, August 10th, when two clever white bantams, Artie McGovern and Al Vinson, and two fast colored bantams, George Dixon and Kid Rosebud, bouts will be about the fastest seen here for some time and no doubt a big crowd will be on hand. The price of admission will be 50 cents, 75 cents and $1.00 ringside seats. Mrs. Ella S. Reid left Tuesday for Brooklyn, N. Y., to join her husband. Mr. David J. Reid. She will visit other points before returning home. Mrs K. J. Thomas and children are spending two weeks in Macon, visiting relatives and friends. FOR TIRED ACHING FEET!

Mathis, representative of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, was in the city this week. He had arranged to hold an institute here, but on account of some differences, same was called off. Rev. Mathis is one of the ablest Baptist missionary workers in the state and is well and favorably known. Mr. H. W. Russell, one of Atlanta's business men in writing a friend, says this about Rev. Mathis: "News has reached me that a rumor is abroad in the state that Rev. A. A. Mathis is a bonifide representative of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, in America. It gives me pleasure to state to you that I know of my personal knowledge that he is a regular appointee of the National Baptist Publishing Board, unincorporated. He was in attendance upon the Sunday School Congress that met at Nashville last June, and took an active part in all of the sessions every day during the meeting. Dr. Boyd, to my knowledge, has appointed Rev. Mathis is field secretary of Georgia to represent the Publishing Board, selling literature, holding Sunday school institutes, and doing other work that may come in his line. Any kindness that you can show Bro. Mathis or any assistance given him on the field during his stay in your midst will be very much appreciated by me."

We have lost a father and friend, one whose memory will ever be before us, one whose words of consolation, kindness, tenderness and true instruction shall guide us onward so that grand eternal plane. He has gone from sorrow and sadness, He has gone from laoor to reward; He has gone to be with Jesus, And we hope to meet him there. His devoted daughter, son and friends James E. Edwards Edith Calloway Elizabeth Clark Katie Robertson INMAN—In loving remembrance of our dear son and brother, Capt. Nathaniel D. Inman, who departed this life August 1, 1916. Dear son and brother, thou art gone to rest from labor to reward. Thy toil and cares, pain and suffering now shall never distress thee more. Dear so anud brother, thou are gone but not forgotten. Your absence pains our hearts. We love you, but God loved you best. Sleep on and take thy rest.

Scott, secretary of the National Negro Business League announces that the Southern Passenger Association, upon application of Ernest T. Attwell, transportation agent, has granted excursion rates for the annual meeting to be held at Chattanooga, Tenn. August 15, 16 and 17. This rate is issued in Tariff No. Exc. 7000 by the railroads of the Southern Passenger Association including the Southern Railroad, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. The National Negro Business League was organized in 1900 by the late Booker T. Washington to encourage the colored people of the United States to establish business enterprises, and bring together annually hundreds of representatives and successful colored people who are making substantial progress in their communities. One feature of the League's work which is of special interest to the South is the annual observance of a National Negro Health week, which cooperates with local and state health boards in promoting better living conditions, among the colored people. During the last Health Week, which was held in April 1917, the National Clean Up and Paint Up Bureau of St. Louis, Mo., offered three silver engraved cups to the three communities whose reports showed the most effective work done. These cups will be presented at the fourth coming meeting to be held at Chattanooga to committees from Altituta, Ga.; Salisbury, N. C.; and New Madrid, Mt. Among the prominent speakers who have definitely accepted places on the program are Governor Tom. C. Kee of Tennessee. Dr. James H.
