The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII Negro Farm Agents Helping Win War INTERESTING FACTS BROUGHT OUT BY REPLIES Reported by Clement Richardson, Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Ala, Aug. 17.—"What are you doing to help win the war?" This is the query which District Agent T. M. Campbell sent out over Alabama to the Negro U. S. Farm Demonstration Agents and Club workers, under the Smith-Lever Act. From every worker encouraging reports came. T. H. Toodle, Dallas county agent, launched garden campaigns, taught fruit and vegetable drying and canning, and taught remedies for treating sick potlery and livestock. F. L. Bennett, another agent in Wilcox county, where the floods brought total destruction to food crops last year, this year he stressed food crops with the result that Wilcox has the greatest outlook in its history for a big corn crop. The people in this county are now planting late gardens. B. F. Hill, Madison county agent in North, Ala., began his work amid shortage of food stuffs. He too stressed the raising of all kinds of food and feed in addition to which he has inoculated 318 hogs for cholera and vaccinated 276 cattle for black leg. Miss N. Jaunita Coleman, home demonstration agent, is working among the farm women teaching them to can, sew, preserve and keep house; as is also Miss Susan T. Whitfield. Indeed the work of women agents often brings more immediate results than the work of the men, due to the fact that actual returns can be had on a given operation in one lesson, while the men agents have to wait several months to convince their pupils. Hogs and poultry have been greatly increased in Hale and Marengo counties by the work of Agent P. J. Brown. The teaching of shallow cultivation in Greene county by Agent J. D. Barnes saved the corn crop during the dry weather. Agent C. D. Menafee in Lee county taught planters to pick up "squares" and burn them and destroy the stalks, thus saving the crop from the boll weevil. Moreover, this work is bringing an unprecedented prosperity to his community. In Lowndes county Agent N. L. Johnson reports an increase in production of from 5 to 100 per cent more corn per farm, 50 to 75 per cent more sweet potatoes, 100 to 300 per cent more velvet beans, 75 to 100 per cent more peanuts and good gardens 8 to 10 months a year. Agent J. B. McPherson of Randolph county, in addition to prevailing on the farmers has all of the Negro schools and churches co-operating in his food production movements. A feature of the replies was the report of Agent Harry Simms who is conducting the movable school for Negro farmers, their wives and their children. Selecting seed corn from the stalk, specimen hogs to teach the men and crocus sack rugs, canned goods and the like for the women, he, with his helpers, give concrete lessons of the good and the bad in farming and in farm life. Moreover, he takes up in detail the question of health, discussing the use of tooth brushes, screens, more than one room houses to live in, white wash, paint, toilets, especially sanitary toilets. Backward in health protection in Greene county, where he held one of his schools, all farmers promised to take steps towards correcting these weaknesses immediately. Indeed one or two built sanitary toilets during the weekly session of the school. MRS. SYLVIA E. GIBBONS Friends of Mrs. Sylvia R. Gibbons who died at Ga. Infirmary on Thursday, are requested to attend her funeral tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, at 12:30 o'clock from St. Augustine Episcopal church, West Broad and Bolton streets. Mrs. Gibbons was one of the well known of the older inhabitants of the city. She is survived by a niece, Mrs. C. S. Tucker. Vole College local class will have its graduating exercises on Friday night, August, 31st, at St. John Baptist church This is the first beauty culture class to have public exercises here, and no doubt a large crowd of ladies will be out to witness the program which will be very interesting to those concerned in beauty culture. A mission will be free. TEACHER APPOINTED It is a matter of interest to Chatham county colored people to know that Miss Juanita Conyers has been appointed home improvement teacher for the Negro schools by Supt. C. B. Gibson, with the co-operation of the state workers. Miss Conyers who begins work September 1st, with headquarters at the Cuyler street school, stands ready to give valuable information in canning and gardening. Miss Conyers in company with Mr. E. A. Williams and Principal J. W. Hubert has made a survey of Chatham county school conditions during the past month and a half and to a degree, the schools in Effingham, Scriven, and Bryan counties. She is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, also taught there, in the agricultural department this term, and has written quite widely for magazines. Those who are interested in domestic art, canning and gardening, including all lines of home improvement work, should get in touch with Miss Conyers. LOCAL MAN RECEIVES SECOND PRIZE Mr. W. E. Tibbs of the Ga. State Industrial College was one of the winners in the Crisis "Best Summer I have Ever Spent" contest. Mr. Tibbs' essay received second prize in the contest which was entered by writers in every part of the country. First prize was won by another Georgia man, Mr. H. H. Threat.of Thomasville. SOME ACHIEVEMENTS OF AMERICUS INSTITUTE Americus, Ga.-The value of an educational Institution to a community is measured both by the thoroughness of its training and by the ideals which it establishes. It is gratifying to note that Americus Institute has wrought well along both of these lines. Relative to the thoroughness of its training, the school has a record not surpassed by any institution of its grade anywhere in the South. Its graduates have entered many of the leading colleges and universities of the South and in every instance have made good. The names of the colleges receiving our students are: Morehouse College, Spelman Seminary, Palne College, Lincoln University, Howard University, Shaw University, Atlanta University, Meharry Medical College, University of New York and University of Chicago. In all of these institutions our students have made good and several of them have been among the prize winners. Americus Institute is the only Negro high school in the South whose graduates can enter the college connected with the University of New York without examinations. This distinction was gained by the record of one of its graduates. The greatest blessing that can come to a student is a dissatisfaction with what he knows and an ardent desire to learn more. Americus Institute has done well in inspiring its graduates with such a feeling. The fact is borne out by the following statistics: Of the 86 graduates who had completed the course here in 1916, 55.8 per cent. have entered higher institutions of learning; 12.9 per cent have completed a full college course; 10.4 are now pursuing a college course; 10.4 per cent are doctors and dentists, 43 per cent and teachers, and the whole are engaged in the following fields of labor: preaching, teaching, medicine, dentistry, farming merchandise, social service, insurance, carpentry, blacksmithing, and housekeeping. Surely an institution with a record like this deserves the hearty support and loyal co-operation of all well wishers of Negro education. UNIVERSAL CLUB HOLDS ELECTION On Friday night, August 17, the Universal Aid and Social Club held its annual election. The following officers were elected: C. S. Stripling, president; N. D. Melrose, vice president; A. M. Roberts, secretary; Joseph B. Pleasant, treasurer; clerk of order, Fred Robinson; chairman, Charles Brownfiled; chaplain, Herman Mitchell; assistant secretary Tom Green. The club will hold its anniversary service at F. B. B. church on tomorrow night. The public is invited. The club also regrets the loss of its former officers, Herbert Marshall, vice president and E. T. Hemby, secretary. BILLY HOOPER RUNS AWAY Billy-Hooper of Atlanta who was to have fought Rough House Ware of New York a fifteen round contest at the Air Dome last Monday night ran away and could not be found when time for the scrap to take place. The fans had to be refunded their money on account of his yellow streak. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1917 NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HAS EXTRAORDINARILY FINE SESSION NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HAS EXTRAORDINARILY FINE SESSION SAVANNAH MAN ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT OF NEGRO BANKERS' ASSOCIATION About Five Hundred Delegates Present Savannah's Delegation Prominent at Meeting—Governor of Tennessee Makes Stirring Address Chattanooga, Ten., Aug. 19—The address of Governor Tom C. Rye was the feature of the opening session of the National Negro Business League which closed its eighteenth annual session here last night. In words of praise and encouragement he not only welcomed the League, to his state, but expresses his fullest confidence in the future of the race in the South. At this time, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the league, announced the committees as follows: Credentials with F. H. Gilbert as chairman; resolutions, with Dr. Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans, as chairman; and Nominating, with Hon. I. T. Montgomery, of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, as chairman. The meeting was then turned over to the president of the National League Beginning Tuesday morning Aug. 14, when the special Pullman party from Jacksonville, Waycross, Atlanta and Tuskegee arrived, the registration headquarters represented a scene of uninterrupted activity. Each train brought its quota of delegates and visitors and even up into the late hour of the night, the crowds were still coming. At 2:30 a.m. the automobile party from Atlanta and Savannah arrived and by ten o'clock the next morning the time for the opening at the Lyric Theatre, the city was alive with the usual Business League spirit. Wednesday Morning Session The meeting was called to order by Mr. G. W. Franklin, Jr., president of the local league at Chattanooga and after the singing of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and prayer by Rev. C. A. Bell of the First Baptist church, Mr. Franklin introduced Hon. Jesse M. Littleton, mayor of Chattanooga. The Mayor began his remarks with a tribute to the loyalty and patriotism of the Negro and the large audience gave him a tremendous and prolonged ovation when he said: "If I were young enough in years to go to the front, I would rather walk at the head of a Negro regiment than one composed of members of my own race." Mr., Franklin then introduced President J. C. Napier who introduced His Excellency, Gov. Tom. C. Rye. The vast audience rose to its feet and it was a good many minutes before the speaker was allowed to begin. Governor Rye has a pleasant face and possesses a charm of delivery which swept his audience before him. He first paid tribute to the Langston Rifles which were organized nearly forty years ago and which is now known as Company G of the National Guard and the only Negro company in the South. In referring to the part of Mr. Napler's introduction in which reference was made to the liberal attitude which he manifested toward the Negro, the Governor said: "As long as I am the governor of the state of Tennessee, I shall be the governor of all the people." He too referred to the loyalty of the Negro and stated that the records that the Negro is claiming exemption in much smaller proportion than the white people. "The Stars and Stripes," he said, "now wave on foreign soil backed up by white and colored soldiers and this flag will not return to us until democracy has been firmly established and reigns over autocracy." The Governor prefaced his climax with a tribute to the life and achievements of Booker T. Washington. "The cloud of prejudice, which I am sorry to say, engulfed your race in this country is disappearing because of the sunburst of Booker Washington's matchless eloquence and wise leadership." Mr. J. Read Voigh, president of Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the league on behalf of his organization and urged the race to support and sustain the work which the league is trying to carry on. Other addresses of welcome were delivered by Mr. W. H. Singleton, principal of the Chattanooga high school; Miss Mattle R. Jackson of the Chattanooga high school and Mr. H. D. Alexander one of the leading business men of the city. Mr. Charles H. Brooks, of Philadelphia, vice-president of the league and Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered the responses most fittingly. Any one losing a purse in wage Earners Savings Bank with small amount of money, may recover same by identifing it and paying for this notice. At this time, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the league, announced the committees as follows: Credentials, with F. H. Gilbert as chairman; resolutions, with Dr. Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans, as chairman; and Nominating, with Hon. I. T. Montgomery, of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, as chairman. The meeting was then turned over to the president of the National League, Mr. J. C. Napler, of Nashville, and the first speaker on the program was John G. Frazier, of Auburn, Ala., who told of his struggles for success and how he had been able to build up a successful business enterprise in his small town and at the same time conduct a farm of fifty acres successfully. Mr. Frazier now owns the farm on which his father worker as a slave. U. S. Cooksle, of Chétcotah, Okla., told how he managed his large farm, and how it had been obtained. From the sixty-acre tract of land which his wife, a tribal girl, owned as an allotment, on which there are now twenty-one oil wells, turning out 108 barrels of oil a day, he has been able to pay cash for a 625-acre farm, worth $50,000. On the farm there are twenty-five renters, two share croppers and five hands. The question which followed his recital opened up an interesting story of how this had been accomplished and what was grown on the farm. Many of the questioners were disposed to know how the people on the farm lived, what means for education they had, and how much uplift work was done among them. "Marketing Farm Products" was discussed by Mr. Scott Bond, of Madison, Ark. Mr. Bond in his own characteristic style gave the audience some practical points in selecting and gardening of farm products. Throughout the session, he proved to be one of the most interesting characters present and his frequent and timely remarks compelled both, laughter and applause from the audience. At a later session, Mr. Bond contributed $35.00 to the fund for saving the Frederick Douglass Home after Mrs. Talbert, of Buffalo, president of the National Association of Women's Clubs, had made her appeal for this fund. Wednesday Evening Session Hon. J. C. Napler, former register of the United States treasury, cashier of One Cent Savings bank, of Nashville, who was unanimously chosen at the session of the National Negro Business League last year in Kansas City to succeed the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and president, in his annual address before the seventeenth annual session of the organization at the Lyric theatre, demonstrated his fitness to take up the work laid down by his predecessor. Practically every utterance of President Napier was applauded by the audience that filled every available inch of space in the theatre. The meeting Wednesday night was presided over by Charles Banks, of Mound Bayon, Miss., first vice president of the league. President Napier, in the beginning of his adders, told of the heritage left their followers by George Washington, Lincoln and Booker Washington, and paid high tribute to the sage of Tuskegee. In the course of his remarks President Napier said: "Emancipation has brought physical freedom to the Negro but the effects of centuries of slavery still clung to him. A combination of circumstances of events had placed him in a peculiar situation. If, after emancipation had come, a spirit of friendship and helpfulness had been inspired and cultivated between ex-slave and ex-master both would have been in a different temper to adjust and the new conditions and relations in which they found themselves. It was not until Booker Washington came upon the scene that this propaganda was set out and be- MRS. ARMSTRONG ELECTED TREASURER HOUSEHOLDS At the recent convention of the House holds of Ruth in Macon, Mrs. F. D. Armstrong of this city was elected treasurer of that organization. MISS FOSTER TO SPEAK Miss Bessie E. Foster was elected by the Woman's Auxiliary department of the National Baptist convention in its official board meeting as one of the representative speakers for Georgia, which will be held in Muskogee, Okla., September 5th to 10th. Miss Foster was informed by Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, vice president, Atlanta, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, corresponding secretary, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C. THE TRIP TÓ CHATTANOOGA To say that the trip of the Savannah business men's delegation to Chattanooga "was great", would be putting the thing particularly conservatively, for we crowded into those ten days of touring an abundance of sight-seeing, socializing, business and recreation hard for one to believe Our party consisting of Messrs. Sol. C. Johnson, J. C. Lindsay, Daniel H. Simmons, H. T. Singleton and J. G. Lemon, traveling in a Peerless Six and Messrs A. B. Singfield, J. H. Kinckle, R. A. Harper, C. B. Tyson and W. A. Brower traveling in a Packard Six, left the Wage Earners Bank at 6:30 a. m., August 12 Without unusual events or mishaps, we brought up at Macon in the early afternoon of the same day. We were taken in charge by that "Prince of Good Fellows," Dick Hartly, and through him all of Macon's hospitality was laid at our disposal. The next morning we set out for Atlanta, making the full trip without trouble in five hours, with the roads a little bad in Clayton and Henry counties. At Griffin, we were entertained at lunch in the palatial home of Dr. and Mrs. Wilkins. A charming family, with the spirit of cordiality and generosity breaking everywhere one does not wonder that this excellent man has made the great success he has. Certain members of our party are credited with a half dozen glasses of buttermilk at the Griffin sitting. Our Mr. Singfield made some record at every stopping point in our trip. At Atlanta, we were to get a good rich impression and observation of the Atlanta Spirit. I might undertake to particularize the worthy business men of Atlanta, beginning with T. K. Gibson, A. F. Herndon, etc., but there are too many of that brand of high-grade, genuine gentlemen there. They had prepared at the Odd Fellows building an elaborate collation and banquet for the Savannah delegation (our Mr. Lindsay, as you see, had things well worked up along the way). Covers were laid for about a hundred men, including the Tuskegee delegation with Messrs Scott, Holsey and Attwell, and various representatives from other neighboring centers. Many were the kind tributes paid to the Savannah delegation, the Savannah Spirit (and the Savannah "Spirits"), with several of our men responding in acknowledgement and returning their congratulations and, well-wishing. The Atlanta delegation (and let us say it was a fine delegation of business men and their families) traveled in four cars, making, with the Savannah two, six cars. We were late starting. Tuesday, August 14th and night fell before we reached the state line. Several minor accidents delayed the party, the most serious being the turning over of the Stevens belonging to Mr. Reuban Black. No one was hurt, and after a few hours and the receipt of a new wheel from Atlanta, the car reached Chattanooga under its own power. The national highway in North Georgia traverses a most glorious and picture-que country. Unlike the railroads, the motor highway seems to have been laid out with a view to bringing before the tourist the full shows of the great natural features of that section. The roads are hard and good, with many long hills in sharp angle rises, many circuituous turns and twistings, as they meander thru the ridges and foot hills of the Blue Ridge. At times, the going was dizzy and blood-curdling. Our way lay over hilly, snake-like roads, on the one side a great elevation of rugged, jagged rock, while on the other, a hundred or more feet below, lay the valley, the descent being sharp and precipitous. It took skillful driving and a strong heart The beauty of those regions is sur- pising wonderful. Below the road elevation and above the precipice kihd Continued on Page Eight) NUMBER 51 New Investment Company Chartered TWILIGHT REAPERS INVESTMENT COMPANY THE NAME Will do a Federal Load and Real Real Estate Business The Twilight Reapers Investment Company is the name of the latest addition to the Negro real estate and investment companies of the city.

Monroe while returning to the postoffice in his mail wagon on Tuesday afternoon was severely injured by a large fouring car running into his wagon. It seems that Mr. Monroe had just finished watering his horse at the trough at Bull and Park avenue and had driven across to the south side of fPark avenue, going east, when the machine turned into Park avenue from Bull street. The driver of the machine, the owner, did not see the mail wagon and crashed into it with much force. The wagon was almost demolished, two wheels being knocked completely off. Mr. Monroe seeing that the machine was going to strike his vehicle, jumped just as the impact occurred. Had he not jumped the likelihood is that he would have sustained fatal injuries. As it was, he suffered several broken ribs and probably other injuries. He was carried to the Ga. Infirmary and from there to the Marine hospital where yesterday, afternoon he was reported as resting quietly. PAGE TWO Cotton Frocks Trimmed with Wool Embroidery and Wool Dresses in Military Styles, are Novelties of the Season New York, Aug. 17—School days are just around the corner. The few weeks of the vacation season that are left mean that mother's needle must fly very swiftly in order to get all the clothes her children will need to have them fitted out for the first school term. The styles are very much to her advantage, for they are simple and therefore very easily made. Plenty of cotton frocks and some woolen ones for cool, days should form the main part of the school outfit. The familiar chambry and gingham, and also cotton poplin and rep which have served for children's school frocks generations upon generations have not been supplanted by any other material for the cotton tub frocks this year. These © MCCALL A Patriotic Dress in Military Style little dresses may be made very smart by the use of simple embroidery in heavy cotton or in wool. Simple little one-piece frocks, cut with body and sleeves in one, have the edges of the neck and sleeves finished with a narrow croched edge of wool or a plain scallop.

Very often little frocks are trimmed with only bindings of a contrasting color. Nothing is easier to accomplish than this, and it is a good way of using up those small pieces of cloth which have remained over from other dresses. The Military Dress For Girls This fall there is something new in styles for both girls and boys, and this is the military element which is frequently noticed. The sketch above shows a military dress for girls, buttoned down the front and provided with ample supply of pockets. The dress is developed in blue serge with flannel collar and cuffs, and a red silk tie makes a kind of patriotic costume which is sure to appeal to the patriotic instinct of the school girl. There are some of these dresses made with detachable capes reaching about the waistline. Some of the capes have turned-back revers in front, faced with pretty colored silk which is almost used for the lining of the cape. One of these dresses in serge or garbline is just the thing for autumn wear, as the cape makes a separate coat un- YOUNG & WALKER THE HOME OF SWEETS WHERE THE PRETTY GIRLS MEET Phone 5707-J 509 WEST BROAD ST J.

Some of the suits of little boys are also equipped with these military capes. Boys have, this year, trench suits and will excite the interest, but the styles trench coats—just the very name alone too, will please them. The coats are cut like those of the soldiers and belted at the waist with leather belts. Little suits for small boys are made with straight knee trousers and long blouses. Double-breasted effects, straight closings which are sometimes finished with small round collars and again with sailor collars. The small coats for the children are made of soft wooly materials. For best wear, velvet and velveteen are used, and the collars and cuffs of fur. Shoulder capes and jackets add distinction and interest to the little models. Children's Clothes in Brilliant Colors We hear from Paris that Children's clothes show very brilliant colorings this year and striking color contrasts in the trimmings. Red sand is one of the new colors, and a red-sand canvas cloth is used a great deal and considered very practical for school frocks. This, for instance, is trimmed with old-fashioned blue embroidery. Smocks of a plain colored linen worn with striped linen skirts are very Smart and, above all, they are most comfortable, which is also a great consideration. This style of dress may be carried out in flannel for cool weather. Plain smocking and the smocking with stitching worked over it are both used to a great extent. For very tiny little girls the white dotted swiss frocks with colored smocking, pink or blue, are exceedingly dalnty. In fact, smocking is used for all ages. The gingham frock in the illustration, made with its straight pleated skirt and overblouse tied at the side, shows the kind of dress that is practical for school. The skirt is attached to the underbody, so there is no danger of the skirt and waist coming apart. The collar and cuffs are of plain gingham. The many pretty plaid wollens and checks which are to be worn for fall would also be excellent for developing frocks on this order. The contrast of plain collar and cuffs in heavy linen or flanel is most effective. INDICTMENTS AT EAST ST. LOUIS After taking testimony for thirty days, the St. Cair County (Illinois) grand jury returned indictments Tuesday against 105 persons for par- tition in the infamous race riots in East St Louis on Judly 2. Of the 105 persons indicted, S2 are whites and 23 Negroes. Two of the indicted white persons are women. Names are being withheld until arrests are made. The grand jury's inquiry was directed by Attorney-General Brundage, who was actively represented at most of the grand jury's sessions by Assistant Attorney-General Middlekauf. There are 68 indictments, most of them naming more than one defend- ant, while in many cases one person is named in more than one indictment There are nine indictments, charging 22 persons with murder; 11 charging 64 persons with conspiracy; 5 charging 27 persons with arson; 13 charging 69 persons with rioting; 26 charging 63 persons with assault to murder; 2charging 4 persons with burglary; 1 charging 4 persons with malicious michief, and 1 charging 1 person with arson for the purpose of defrauding.

Dr. Bundy is accused of leading the men who protected their homes on Sunday night, July 1. This he denies, claiming to have been several blocks away when the shooting occurred. In returning its verdict the grand jury brought out the following facts; One hundred persons were killed and 245 houses burned in rioting. The estimated loss by fire was approximately $300,000. Indolent officials, overawed by cowardly inclinations, remained inactive. Union labor created aversion to the Negro, causing race hatred. Shooting of policemen a plot of mob leaders to gain sympathy. Automobiles that caused trouble were riddled with buckshots, occupants known, but no arrests made. Plan to mob Negroes were openly held on Monday, but no effort made by officials to forestall the terrible carnage that followed. Lack of respect for law in East St. Louis. The report also recommends that a state police force, or constabulary of 1,000 be established with power to move from one place in the state to another so they would not be affected by local prejudices or opinion. The new bond law in Illinois makes the giving of bond in criminal cases a difficult matter and it is doubtful if many of those arrested will be able to secure their temporary release before trial. The county jail at Belleville is already overcrowded with 150 problem to solve in providing for the prisoners and the authorities have a 105 men who have been indicted. —St. Louis Augus ST. JAMES A.

He realized from the beginning that there could never be any real progress in either when two races dwelt in one land ready always to fly at the throat of each other. Like the lowly Nazarene, he saw his work, realized the enormity of it, threw his whole being into it nor did he rest until nature gave way and his God called him to his reward for his devotion and faithfulness to the cause of humanity, to his country and his race. The heritage left by him to his race consists in the betterment of the condition of every individual member thereof. Either directly or indirectly his work has in one way or another had the effect of not only rising and elevating every one with whom he came in contact, but many who have never seen or heard him have been inspired with lofty ideals, have been raised to a higher standard of civilization, to a greater degree of usefulness. He was the friend of all. He knew nothing but to love his fellowmen. Even for those who reviled and hated him, those who misunderstood and misrepresented his aims and methods, those who never allowed an opportunity to pass to place him in a false light before his fellowmen and the country, he never was known to utter a word of abuse or rude reproach. He was always too busy, too earnestly engaged in his efforts for the uplift of his people, the elevation of the lowly." Silver cups given by Allen W. Clark, of St. Louis, chairman of the Clean Up and Palnt Up Bureau, to encourage participation in the national health and clean-up week campaigns, were given to the three cities making the best report for that week, which was April 22-2S. Atlanta, Ga., won first prize; Salisbury, N. C., second prize, and New Madrid, Mo., third prize. Calhoun, Ala., Transville, Ind., and Nashville, Tein., received honorable mention. The presentation speech was made by Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the league. Mrs. John Hope accepted the cup for Atlanta, Miss Anna Houser for Salisbury N. C., and Rev. J. W. D. Myes for New Madrid, Mo. Other speakers on the program last night were: Mrs. D. Lampton Bachonus, of Greenville, Miss., who gave some business experiences, and the Rev. C. T. Tucker, of Chattanooga. Thursday Morning Session As scheduled on the program and advanced announcements, the meeting for Thursday morning was held on the top of Lookout Mountain and in making the trip, the delegates and visitors had an opportunity to see the beautiful natural scenery and the historic points of interest. Mr. H. M. Brazelfon of Chattonooga, told of his success as a photographer and Mr. J. C. Lindsay, secretary of the Georgia State League and manager of the Savannah, (Ga.) branch of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association, spoke on the subject of the relationship of the state to the local league. Mr. Lindsay's remarks evoked a very helpful and interesting discussion. Mr. T. K. Gibson, of Atlanta, and manager of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association; described the Trade Boosting Campaigns which have been conducted by the colored business men of Atlanta. In concluding his remarks Mr. Gibson said: "Our merchants were loud In their praise of the campaign and for the new business which it brought to them. And quite a number of white merchants In Atlanta who readily saw the efficiency of the campaign asked to be allowed to join, but we did not let them in. Our movement popularized a soft drink manufactured by a colored man in Atlanta; brought fame and increased revenue to a truck gardener; placed on the books of our Negro bank the names of several new depositors and made a higher water mark for the debots of several of our insurance companies." Secretary Scott was so well pleased with Mr. Gibson's paper that he indicated his desire to have the whole plan as presented put into booklet form and distributed over the country as a guide for other cities that may plan to conduct these helpful campaigns. At this time, a heavy downpour of rain compelled the meeting to close and the party then left for the city to take the boat ride down the river. Thursday Evening Session This session was held in the auditorium of the court house and was one of the largest attended meetings of the entire session. The morning program which had been interrupted was resumed with Mr. A. L. Garrett, of Fayetteville, N. C., who spoke on the subject, "Financing and Promoting a Cooperative Business Enterprise." Mr. Garrett told of the organization of the Fayetteville Coffin and Casket Company. Mr. Fred C. Gassett, of Cartersville, Ga., discussed the subject of "General Merchanting" and Mr. R. M. Hitch, of Winston Salem, N. C., discussed "The Ethics of Undertaking." Dr. Ernest Lyon, Iberian Consul General, with headquarters at Baltimore, Md., delivered a magnificent address on Liberia and her needs and for nearly an hour he held his audience, and his address was frequently applauded. It was possible for him to use his subject as a powerful appeal to the pride of his race and he took advantage of this opportunity and at the same time gave them some very valuable information of the subject. Mr. George Frederick Wheeler was then introduced and he tol dof the million dollar photo play, "The Birth of a Race" which he is writing with the assistance of Mr. Emmett J. Scott. The audience manifested great interest in his remarks. The picture, he said, would probably be ready for release early in January, 1918. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert then made her appeal for funds to help save the Douglass home and quite a number of men responded with contributions. Mr. U. S. Cooksie gave $50.00; Scott Bond, $35.00; Dr. J. T. Wilson, Memphis, $25.00; Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Atlanta, $25.00; F. H. Miller, Mound Bayou, $25.00; C. H. Douglass, Macon, Ga., $25.00; I. T. Montgomery, Mound Bayou, $25.00; Walter S. Scott, Savannah, Ga., $25.00. Others gave ten, five and smaller sums, making a total of $405.00 contributed for this purpose. extension department of the Tuskegee Institute, told of the work of building rural schools with the aid of contributions from Mr. Julius Rosenwald. His subject was "How the business man may help to improve rural conditions," and he presented some interesting facts showing how the colored people of his state and throughout the South are learning to help themselves in erecting better school buildings. Mrs. Mary M. Bethune, president of the Daytona Training School, gave a very interesting description of her work and quite a number of the visitors volunteered contributions for her work. Friday Morning Session At the Friday morning session, a very interesting discussion of migration was conducted with Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Inititute and Dr. D. W. Sherrod, of Meridian, Miss. Dr. Moton Said in part: "I have and am now advising every Negro who can remain in the South to do so, and not become plonic-stricken, as so many others have done, leaving their property and families and sometimes never returning again. We are advising those who do go there to save their money, pay off the mortgage on their homes and buy land. "There are certain advantages which the Negro here in the South has, and which the North does not offer. Competition is not so strong in the South and the Negro can buy land in any city and state in the outh with comparatively little money. We are not as accustomed to the climate there as we are here in the South. Neither are we as accustomed to the people of the North as we are to those in the South. In the South we must see to it and use every means to see that the Negro get higher wages; that he works under favorable conditions; that he has good schools for his children, and that he has the proper protection of life and property, everywhere, as any other class of citizens. Mob law, lynching, burning or any other form of injustice does not and cannot help the situation in the least. "I don't believe the southern white people were ever more open to suggestions and to co-operation on the race question as they are today, and I would suggest that in every community the Negro leaders would confer with the leading white people, seeking their cooperation along the lines as I have indicated. The whole situation must be met in a sober, unselfish spirit—a spirit to help the Negro and to help the country. There is a platform upon which every one of us can stand and mutually work—for the good of man, the honor of our country and the glory of God." Miss Ernestine Bury, of Chattanooga, represented Mrs. J. G. Higgins who was scheduled to speak on the "Beauty Culture Business" and read a very excellent paper. Clinton J. Caloway, director of the extension department of the Tuskegee Institute, told of the work of building rural schools with the aid of contributions from Mr. Julius Rosenwald. His subject was "How the business man may help to improve rural conditions." and he presented some interesting facts showing how the colored people of his state and throughout the South are learning to help themselves in erecting better school buildings. Mrs. Mary M. Bethune, president of the Daytona Training School, gave a very interesting description of her work and quite a number of the visitors volunteered contributions for her work. Mr. Daniel Freeman, of Washington, D. C., presented a splendid paper of food conservation. The reports of the affiliated organizations were then read and also the reports of the four committees. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: J. C. Napier, who was elected president a year ago in Kansas' City to succeed the late Dr. Washington, was unanimously re-elected president of the league. The offer officers are: First vice president, Charles Banks, Mound Bayou Miss.; second vice president, Charles H. Brooks, Philadelphia; third vice president, John M.

Garrett, Fayetteville, N. C.; R. S. Jackson, Philadelphia, Penn.; Chester E. Bush, Little Rock, Ark. The visitors were the guests of the Chattanooga Business League last night at the National Guard armory. The National Negro Bankers Association which meets in conjunction with the league, announced the following officers for the ensuing year: R. M. Boddy, Solvent Savings Bank, Memphis, Tenn., president; Walter S. Scott, Savannah Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga., vice president; W. D. Hawkins, Peoples Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., secretary; Charles H. Anderson Anderson and Co., Jacksonville, Fla., treasurer; Carter W. Gaines, Penny Savings and Loan Co., Waycross, chairman executive committee. The delegates expressed delight at the local entertainment and provisions made for their comfort on the part of the local citizens and the members of the league. Formal resolutions of thanks were passed, but above this formality were expressions that denote the place Chattanooga citizens had won in the hearts of their visitors. Especially were the visitors grateful to G. W. Franklin, Jr., Dr. W. A. Thompson, Prof. W. H. Singleton, R. W. Allen, J. A. Alexander and Prof. J. James Oldfield. As evidence of the warm feeling of co-operation between the white and colored people of Chattanooga and of the profound impression made by the meeting, we quote the following extract from the Times, the leading morning paper there: "Chattanooga is glad to welcome these men to her midst, confident in ORDER YOUR Combs, and Alone your own race, who will appreciate Afrodita Combs for Straightening wood or grain alcohol) 85c.; Hair comb, 25c and 50c per box.

T Saturday August 25th, 1917 The calendar of crime still reckons and records: "Another Negro murdered by the police." Anti-draft meetings and demonstrations continue, and still no sign of Negro disaffection or disloyalty. Interest in the Negro public school question is keeping very keen, when the ordinary and usually indifferent are found discussing it. We hope our leaders will take steps to protect our trouble and improve our system. The Old Fellows were said to be about "out of court," but it appears to us they have just commenced to be in court. Brother Davis announces that his party has not absolved itself from the order, but that they are tremendously in the order and stand there by right. They claim they were never out by virtue of lack of authority of the Sub-Committee of Management. Some of the satellites among both wings of the contestants find it hard to take and keep position. Unthinking and directed, they found them selves mostly in embarrassment. And the end is not yet. SAVANNAH WELL REPRESENTED At the recent meeting of the national Negro Business League in Chattanooga, Savannah Negroes and Savannah Negro business were brought prominently to the fore. Savannah's delegation, about twenty strong, urged Savannah's claims in the business world very vigorously and placed Negro Savannah on the map. Literature, bearing on Savannah's Negro business enterprises, was distributed to delegates from all over the South and displayed at public places. Every Savannah man was a booster for Savannah and Savannah people. Every one spread and published the note of harmony and cooperation, until listeners deplored the lack of these qualities back in their home towns. Many delegates remarked that every other delegate seemed to be a Savannah man. J. C. Lindsay was the central figure in Savannah's delegation and a prominent figure in the inner circle of the big men of the National League. Through the efforts of Mr. Lindsay, his wide acquaintance and popularity with the business men all over the country, the Savannah delegation got many considerations of kindness and accommodation. Savannah made a very favorable impression at Chattanooga. PUBLICITY, THE WEAPON ... Word comes from those who organized and staged the "Silent Protest Parade", carried out so successfully in New York City last month, that the demonstration did a great deal to arouse the American conscience toward the status of its 12,000,000 citizens, and that the same or similar demonstrations all over the South would have a very salutary effect on the problem of race relationship everywhere. Ten thousand men women and children marched through the streets of New York, with measured tread, without a single laugh or smile, without a glance at the thousands who lined the side-walks, in solemn, silent protest to America, on behalf of our race It must have been a wonderfully impressive spectacle; it must have been awe-inspiring to every individual who witnessed it; it must have brought memories of oppressions, wrongs, discriminations, pity, impaler and lynching before the minds of many, in a panorama never to be forgotten; it must have brought determination to all good people—a determination on the part of the just whites, to lose no opportunity to see justice done in the future,—and* a grimmer determination. on the part of every Negro to give more serious thought and act to this all-meaning question of race in the future. The spectacle was viewed by representatives of all the people of the earth; the Jew was there and the Greek; the Hindu, the Japanese, the Brazilian, the Teuton, and what not, the world saw it, and inquired and knew the deep significance and purpose of it. It published its purpose and fragile meaning to the ends of the earth; it unvelled free, democratic America before the wondering nations assembled at the show. We agree that publicity is a powerfully corrective influence, especially when the object of attack is unknown in its true light. Publicity brings out the real values, the just weights, the basic right of things. Right and justice must be enthroned and the God of right and justice expects us to work toward and for the realization of these ideals as much as we have opportunity. RAISE THE DEFENSE FUND It appears, as we have all the time believed, that the fight on the tenderloin has only been partly won. Although council has passed, unanimously, a sweeping order directed to the chief of police requiring and commanding him to take immediate steps to remove the disreputable white women from the West side, the battle was only begun. Temporizing began, and it is easy to see what limits this could be done when this councilmanle order was in direct conflict with the announced and studied plans of the mayor and chief. It was hard for them to yield to the better judgment of council, and they have not as yet decided to carry out council's order. At last accounts they were still treating with the landlords who expect the large and certain revenues from housing the dissolute women. The mayor and the chief were both out of town when the matter came to its climax in a public meeting of council, though it is certain they were aware that the topic was a live, current one, involving a great many people and needed their presence because of their interest, concern and duty in the matter. The City of Savannah, speaking through its leading citizens, its ministers, its civic bodies, and its public officers, has condemned, without equivocation, this indulging of prostitution in our city. One minister has said that its only place is in hell. These women should be run from our borders; they should not be thrust upon our people, solely because a few miscrulpulous men, careless of the interests of our people and believing us defenseless, choose to do so. We must fight. Our people, our leaders, our churches, our fraternal organizations must take this matter seriously. Our Committee of Nine must be on the alert; they must have the support of our whole people. We must raise that defense fund and raise it at once, and join forces with the others who are fighting for the same principles and results. The time has come in the career of our race, when we have got to stand up like men and fight for right. We must serve notice before the world that while we stand for law and order we must be given reasonably fair and just consideration. Our people must think; we must be willing to make sacrifices; we must be willing to work, to bring about better conditions under which our people and our children may live. We must not grow callous and indifferent; we must hold on, or we perish.

A TRIBUTE There is a mart of intellect and there's a mint of brain. And the conduct of the stalwart set out there on Western sod. Our boys are fierce defenders of the country's glorious flag. And when they strip for action, "Old Glory" cannot drag; For ten millions of their kith and kin, wing hopes for them on high, And chant them hallelujahs, up to mansions in the sky. There's no murmer there of mutiny—deserters, there are none, Will make the fate of comrades half the cause for which they fight. There is no lack of power in the boys upon the plain. hears the country's call. But will rally unto duty and to duty stand or fall. So rally, boys! Then rally, with a will to meet the foe, For, in spite of black remembrances a manly part you owe Unto a glorious country—more glorious ret to be. And when you are in the battle, only "keep your powder dry," When rigid duty takes you in the thickest of the fight, We'll take the phone receiver down and play—"Lead Kindly Light." No harm can eer befall you when the cause for which you fight, Findeth lodgment in the ledger with a balance unto right: his reckoning ruler man. From ocean unto ocean, from Bersheba unto Dan. Ten million black Americans sing with voices strong and loud. While they watch your every action, cheer you when you're doing proud; And ten million hero worshipers will still watch you where you roam. And save their richest carols just to welcome you back home. And a country all victorious by efforts put by you. Will give you place and power neath. And the problem will be smothered neath the matchless feuds youve wrought. the Red, the White, the Blue; And old Prejudice be buried neath the sod on which you fought. —Edward Winfred Sherman In Memory SIMMONS—In sad but loving memory to our loved one, Daniel La Renn Simmons, who departed this life August 22, 1916.

Since your spirit has taken its flight; To dwell with the angels in the better world, In the beautiful land of light. You've left our hearts in sorrow, Our eyes are dimmed with tears; For midst the toll of a few passing years, So soon, brought to you the golden morrow. Your task on earth is done, Your Christian race is run; You've reached at last the heavenly home, Around thy Father's throne. You've passed through the valley of death, Jehovah your only guide Tho dreary and dark and dismal life seem; You sleep as tho in a dream, Sleep, sleep, oh that blessed sleep, From which you know no care; Sleep until the resurrection morn, And we will greet thee there.

PROBLEM 6F NEGRO MIGRATION (Re-printed from American Journal of Sociology for July 1917...“What May Soelologists do Toward Solving the Problem of the Present War?”..A ..Symposium.) Bree: C= present war situation are those which have arisen in connection with the ml- gration of vast numbers of Negroes from the South to northern Industrial centers to mect the labor shortage caused by the stoppage of Lmmigration from Europe. One set of these prob- lems rejutes to the Suuth, the other to the North. se In the South the effort fs to handle the migration movement so that there will not be disaster to Southern in- dustries, particularly agriculture. The South, heretofore, has imported an- mually about seven hundred inillion dol- lars worth of food stuffs from the North and West. This year, however, because of the exigencies of the food crisis, it ix necessary that.she feed herself. In order to do this, she must conserve her Iabor supply. + The problems which now confront tho South are how to deal with migra- tion and at the same time siccessfully mevt the food crisis. Two ways have been suggested: One, to have more stringent labor laws; that is, by force aud restrictions endeavor tu check the movement ; efforts long this Tine have thus far failéd; the other sugzested way is to haye co-operation between the races with the assurance of better waxerand better treatment of Negroes, including, here! protection from mob violence, justice in the courts, jnd bet- ter educational facilities. It “appears that the latter way would be productive of the best results. In the North, ay the result of Negro migration, 2 uumber of problems have arisen. These problems relate to the treatment of the Negro int public places, the administration of the law as it relates to im, bis protection under the kaw, labor friction, und bis gen- eral social conditicn: | ‘There are a number of agenctes Jwwhich may be ~el in solving the prob. Jems resulting trom migration. Among Neuroes are a number of organizations which may be of great serviee In this work, The chief of these are: the church, Young Men's, Christian Asso- cation, women’s clubs, “National Lea. | ue on Urban Conditions Among Ne- groes” and “The National Association Ifor the “Advancement of Colored Peo “ple” White organizations which cin jrender valuable service are: welfare associations, charity organizations, so cial centers, and the churches, Some o} the agencies which have heretofor: heen used for the uplift of foreign tin inigrants, could now be used for the up Hitt of Negro migrants, among whom yare no hyphens, whore loyalty is no | Goubtetl. In the North, as in the South, muel can be accomplished through racial co operation. By this means, hetter livin; | conditions for Negroes may be secured Steps may be taken to see that th | rights and privileges that the Negroe how have are not eurtailed. Thor ‘shoul be efforts to reduce racial fric ‘hon to a minimum, so that clots, sucl |as oceurred at Fast St. Louis, will bh prevented. ‘The ultimate object o [hot North and South should be t make of the Nezroes, more intelligent |emnetent and desirable citizens.

Exek. xcclii, 11—Commentary Pre- pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. ‘he topic of this lesson Is the cap- tivity of Judah, for, although such men as Hezekiah and Josiah did what they could to turn the people from thelr sins to the Lord, the results rere only par- tial and temporary, and their gins in- creased. The Lord God had Foapas- sion on them, notwithstanding their rebellion against Him, and sent them His messengers, His servants the prophets, to tell them of His love and His'readiness to forgive them and bles’ them if only they would turn to Him with the whole heart, but, they | mocked the messengefs of God and despised His words and misused His prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was /no remedy (II Chron, xxxvi, 15, 10). Many times He had told them in the beginning of thelr national history how He would bless them in the land He had given themif only they would obey tes and honor Him and keep them- ‘selves from the idolatries of other na- tions. See for example Ley, xxvi, 1-13. | He told them just as plainly what ‘He would do to them and how He /would punish them if they would not hearken to Him and keep His com- mandments (Lev. xxvi, 14-30). Three times in that chapter He told them that if they persisted In disobedience He would punish or chastise them seven times for their sins, an expres- sion which we will consider later in our Jesson (Lev, xvi, 18, 24, 28). Not only during their wilderness journey, but also while the judges ruled, and afterwatd when He gave them Kings, He many a time forgave their iniquity and delivered them and saved them for His name’s sake (Ps, Ixxvili, 33; evi, 8, 43), but the time had come when there was no remedy but the captivity. Josiah was succeeded by four kings, three sons and a grandson, each of whom did evil in the sight of the Lord, and during the twenty-two years of their reigns Judah was carried into captivity in three different companies until all but the very poorest were car- ried away. The fourth year of Jchoia- kim was the first ‘year of Nebuchad- nezzar, and in that year, which would be about 606 B, C., sotue of the princes, ineluding Daniel and, others, and part of the vessels of the house of God were carried to Babylon (Jer. xxv, 1; Dan, i, 13). About seven years later Jehviakim, who reigned only three months, was taken to Babylen, with lis mother and servants and princes and officers and 10,000 others (perhaps 18,000) I Kings xxiv, 8, 16), and this was the second deportation. Eleven years later, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the captivity of Judab was completed by the carrying away of Zedekiah and the rest of the people. except the poor, who were left to be vinedressers andchusbaudmen. Then was the house of the Lord burned and the remaining vessels destroyed or car- ried away (II Kings xxv, 1-17). Then was fulfilled the strange prediction through Ezekiel concerning Zedekiah. “{ will bring him to Babylon, yet shall he not see it” for after bis sons were slain before his eyes they put out his eyes and bound him and carried him to Babylon (Ezek. xl, 13; Kings xxv,7). However seemingly impossible any prediction of the Lord may appear, it will surely be Hterally fulfilled in His time, elther by 2 near or a far distant fulfillment, or ofttimes by both, for as eae has caid, prophecy may have many a germinal fulfillment, while the full accomplishment may be ‘still in the future. The Lord had said through Jeremiah that this punishment of Ju- dah would continue seventy years and | that then they would return, and so it came to pass, as Wwe shall see in fu- ture lessons (Jer. xxv, 12; II Chron. Xxxvi, 20-23). Because Israel rejected their Messiah, when in the faliness of time He came to them, they have ever alneg been scattered among all nations, and He said that Jerusalem would be [ tedden down by the gentfles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled (Luke | xxi, 24). | _ ‘The times of the sentiles began with j Nebuetiadnezzar, 606 B. C., and cor respond with the seven times already j Teferred to tn this lesson, during which God said that He would punish Israel ' tor thelr sins. According to Dan. x1, 113, margin, times are years, and in } Num. xiv, 34, there is a way of the Lord revealed, wherein He used years for days. Seven times 360, the days in a Scriptural year, equals 2,520, which seems to cover the seven times of Is rael’s punishment in Ley. xxvi, or the Henry Mears Feed Compay Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Hay and Grain of All Kinds- PHONE 3461 309 BERRIEN STREET ———THE MEARS’ EXPRESS—-—_— Expert Piano and Furniture Movers...We Pack, Store and Ship Before closing out with anyone else, Ring 3461 .

C., Aug. 21.—According to reports growing out of the 18th annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, just closed at Chattanooga, Tenn., the "stand-out" feature of the occasion was the impressive presentation of the subject of "Food Conservation," brought to the attention of the league and its thousands of followers by Mr. Daniel Freeman, a well-known business man of this city, and for many years president of the local branch of the National Business League. Mr. Freeman has returned from the Chattanooga conference bubbling over with enthusiasm for the cause which carried him there and reports that the meeting ranked with the very best the league has held in any section of the country since its formation in Boston in 1900. Bringing patriotism down to stubborn facts, Mr. Freeman, without recourse to oratorical flourish, but in simple, straightforward and convincing language, pointed out that the conservation of food holds the key to victory over Germany and illustrated in his own original way the countless channels in which the colored people of the country, from the wealthiest to the humblest, could lie of vital assistance to America and to the Allies in this titanic struggle for world democracy. The government recognized the value of the Negro in this work by sending Mr. Freeman to the Chattanooga conference of the business chieftains of the nation as the special representative of the food administration, under the direction of the Hon. Herbert C. Hoover and Dr. Ray L. Wilber, to lay the matter properly before the colored people of the land. The wisdom of the selection of Mr. Freeman was simply demonstrated by the able address delivered at the Friday afternoon session of the League and the reattention which it commanded at the hands of the audience which crowded to the doors. Mr. Freeman's constructive activities in the cause do not end with his special detail to Chattanooga. He will continue to work with a general committee, formed by the Hoover commission, to organize and conduct the food conservation campaign among the 10,000,000 colored citizens of the Republic. J The suggestion of former President William Howard Taft for the presidency of Hampton Institute, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Hollis Burke Frissell, comes as a surprise to the country, but it is the unanimous opinion that he would make an ideal head for a school of this kind. He is chairman of the board of trustees of Hampton and is said to be the choice of the other members of the board, all of whom are anxious to have him serve. Mr. Taft became chairman of this board four years ago when Robert C. Ogden, his personal friend, was called by death, and he has always taken a deep interest in the work of the school, and in all others engaged in industrial and technical instruction. Mr. Taft and Dr. Frissell were classmates at Yale University and their association continued close after college days. Mr. Taft was an ardent admirer of the late Booker T. Washington, Hampton's most notable product, and it is well remembered that before and during his occupancy of the presidency of the nation, he took an active interest in Tu-kegcee Institute. No intimation can be obtained at this time as to when the trustees will elect a successor to the late Dr. Frissell, but it would give pleasure to the colored friends of education throutout the land if Former President Taft should be chosen. There is a belief that he would cheerfully accept, if it is pointed out to him that his duty lies in that direction. --- Although surprisingly meager reports have been sent out of Washington touching the event, President Wilson on Tuesday of last week received a delegation of colored citizens from New York, representing the committee of the recent "Silent Protest Parade" in that city. Members of the same committee called at the White House two weeks ago and laid their protest before Secretary Tumulty, but were unable to secure a personal audience with the President. This time they were more successful, a definite engagement having been made through the intercession of Mr. A. B. Cosey, the well-known New Jersey barrister. The visiting party consisted of Rev. F. A. Cullen, chairman; Mme. C. J. Walker, A. B. Cosey, and Rev. Charles D. Martin. They were ushered into the reception room, of the White House at 4:30 o'clock and for fifteen minutes, the menace of lynch law and the steps necessary to stop is were discussed. The President listened with great courtesy and interest to the protest reflected in the remarks of the spokesman of the delegation and spoke at length with sincerity and deep feeling. He was justly indignant with all other good Americans, he said, at the wrongs perpetrated against the colored race, and that no man's sympathy was more The Line of ALL STEEL ELECTRICALLY LIGHTED EQUIPMENT, Free Reclining Chair Cars and Dining Cars Serving Meals on All Through Trains is the Seaboard Air Line Railway.

The President reviewed briefly the active operations that are being carried on by the Department of Justice for the punishment of those responsible for the riots at East St. Louis, and added: "I will do all in my power to prevent the recurrence of similar offenses to the Memphis outrage and the East St. Louis massacre—outrages against law, order and humanity. What human beings would not be shocked at these atrocities. Apart from my position as President, my feelings as a man revolt at these inhuman acts against my fellow-citizens." In closing the President again assured the committee that everything that the Federal Government could do under the existing law would be done. A few days ago report was given out that no colored troops would be sent to camps in the South, because of the possibility of trouble with the residents of that section, but a reversal of this policy is seen in a notice from the War Department that the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard, a colored organization, will go into camp at Anniston, Ala. along with other District units ordered there. The new orders occasioned some surprise in certain quarters, but there is no evidence that any dissatisfaction will grow out of it on the part of the white troopers or of the people of Anniston. While occupying the same camps with the whites, it is likely that the races will be housed in separate cantonments? No objection will be raised to this on the part of whites or blacks. The medical reserve corps will include a large number of colored physicians and they will be scattered about the several camps, serving with colored troops. These men were trained at Fort Des Moines and constitute the flower of the Negro race in the medical world. The color question seems to be settling itself in the national army and there is a disposition to work it out in a natural way and to avoid unnecessary friction. --- Counsellor Armand W.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1917 Among The Masons On Its Trial Masonry is to a greater extent than ever before on its trial to day. Men tell us that it is drifting, that its ideas are growing dim, its practice feeble. That cannot be. Till time shall be no more, whether there be any to proclaim faith, and exemplify its teachings or not, the only true and ancient brotherhood must go down on the pages of the pages of history as the herald of an ideal faith. "Faith in God and the unseen is what the world most needs." That is the faith Freemasonry proclaims, but its power to effect the world, to leaven its materialism and indifference lies in the life of its members.—Brotherhood. . . . Mason or Lodge Members Is there a test by which we can tell whether a man is a Mason or a more lodge member? The Old Charges of 1723 states that "A lodge is a place where Masons assemble and work: Hence that assembly or duly organized society of Masons is called a lodge," and the same venerable document declares that "The persons admitted members of a lodge must be good and true men, free-born and of mature and decrete age, no bondmen, no women, no immoral or scandalous men, but of good report." No before a man can be admitted to a Masonic lodge he must be a good and true man, free-born, of mature and discrete age, not a bondman, nor an immoral or scandalous man, but of good report. Let it be carefully noted that the person to be admitted into the lodge must have these necessary qualifications for the lodge membership, but that does not make him a Mason. The "Profane" who is a good and true man, of mature and decreet age, free-born, of good reputation, not immoral nor tainted by scandal, is regarded by the Old Charges, as fit material to introduce in the lodge. But something is needed in addition to make him, the lodge meber, a Mason. Every society among men has an object or-purpose to accomplish, and every one who joins any association and works to accomplish its objects and purposes is entitled to the rights and privileges of membership in it. What, then, is the object and purpose of Freemasonry, which its members must aid in carrying on, and if possible, accomplish? We will now not attempt any definition of Freemasonry but confine this brief statement to the preliminary statement required of every candidate for admission into Freemasonry. The applicant must state upon his honor that in joining the lodge he is (1) "Preempted by a desire for knowledge" and (2) by a "sincere wish of being serviceable to his fellow creatures." If the candidate becomes a member of a Masonic lodge and receives no knowledge, learns nothing he does not already know, he has, so Masonry says, no right to complain of the Masonic fraternity for the knowledge is there but it depends on his own ability and industry as to what he will acquire. It is certain that he will receive no knowledge that he has not fairly earned. But what use must the true Mason make of the knowledge he has acquired? He has given a solemn pledge that he has become a lodge member because of his sincere wish to be of service to his fellow creatures. He must, if he is true to his pledge made at the door of the lodge, use his knowledge for the benefit of his fellowmen. Here is the test. The man who acquires Masonic knowledge and lives a life of service to his fellow men by using it for their benefit is a Mason.—New Age. The Road to Happiness Men who treat each other as brothers at lodg'd and as foes in business life are not Freemasons, because Masonry does not set up one standard of conduct for the lodge and another for outside. Masonry supplies every candidate received with a rule and guide to right living, which it followed, would cause every Mason to render unto his fellows their just due, without distinction. Our fraternity does not attempt to inflict punishment on all who fall to measure up to the standard of our teachings—none would escape if that were the practice—but patiently and persistently pursues the course of endevouring through education to make men realize that truth, honor, justice and happiness come only as the reward for doing unto others as we would that they shall do unto us.—Masonic Sentinal. The Mason believes that God has aranged this glorious, but perplexing world with a purpose and on a gorious plan. He holds that every man sent upon this earth and especially every man of superior capacity, has a duty to perform, a mission to fulfill, a baptism to be baptized with, that every great and good man possesses some portion of God's truth, which he must proclaim to the world, and which must bear fruit in his own bosom. In a true and simple sense he believes all the pure, wise and intellectual to be so inspired and to be so for the instruction, advancement and elevation of mankind.—Albert Pike. Symbolism of Masonry Freemasonry is not a system of literalism; it is a system of symbolism. It invests its furniture, its emblems and its gavels with great morals and ideas. It rises above the letter and accepts and cherishes the spirit of Occasionally we find some member and in all else with which is has to do. all its ethics sublime. It is not to be judged by what others think, but what it thinks of the Bible, of God and of the worthy men whose virtues it commends and commemorates.—Selected The Too Fresh Member Occasionally we fin some member who does not take well among the members. He is bright, active and well posted in the ritual and faws of the order, but by some means the members have soured on him. We need not go far to find the cause. He is what is termed "too fresh." He thinks he knows it all, and is like a jumping jack on every question that comes before the lodge. He thinks the lodge should recognize his "bright qualities" and promote him to any office to which he may aspire. These members who come forward too suddenly with their bright ideas and generally left out in the cold when they least expect it.—Masonic Trowel. --- Genuine Masonic Lodge Genuine Freemasonry does not consist in outward appearance and ostentatious show, but in the silent deeds of charity and beneficence flowing from the spirit of brotherly love, by which even the humblest lodge may become an adornment to the fraternity. The story is told that a Grand Master once visited a country lodge, and found it small, poorly lighted and miserably furnished, so that he was much surprised at its appearance; but when he examined the books, and saw the donations that had been made to brothers, and the flour and wood that had been sent to widows and orphans, he declared that there was true Masonry enough in that room to adorn the finest temple in his jurisdiction.

SCOTT JOHN W. HUBERT JOS. H. GREEND WALTER S. SCOTT Lindsay was the conspicuous figure from Savannah. He addressed the vast gathering at Umbrella Rock on Lookout Mountain on the second day. Mr. Daniel Simmons also addressed the league at the Lyric theatre on Market street at the third day's session ravine, the mountain sides were covered with growth of shrubby, mountain oaks and pines; at times these shown faintly through the thin clouds or were hidden entirely by the thicker, darker ones; again the mountain side was bare and red from erosion or from the invasion of commercial and pitless man in quest of the rich ores which lie embosomed there. The crops of corn and cotton were good; the herds looked thriving; and hree and there the goats and sheep came out from fastnesses of mountain bush. The rough mountainers, true to tradition, were ignorant and barefoot, but generally good-natured and accommodating. When one was asked the altitude, he replied, "I thing they're pretty well all Baptist round up here." Few black faces were to be seen in the state'ne section, and these few lived beyond and back of the big way Our party was remarkable for its ability to keep in tact. We made the journey up the perilous Incline Railway to Lookout Mountain. We employed a professional guide, a colored man, who has spent his life in the mountain. He told us the long story of the struggle of Hooker, Sherman, Roper, Bragg and the rest as he conducted us to the various vantage points, the rocky points and ledges where the batteries or observation towers stood. He explained why this movement or that failed or succeeded, pointing out the locations, the lines of march, and the strategic moves of each army. The government has a great museum and park at the summit; many times our party stood 1,700 to 1,800 feet above the city, away above the clouds; these we saw gather, hide the valley from our view and disperse. The last night of our journey was spent in the mountains. We had good appetites. our Mr. Harper had provided a fine luncheon at an Atlanta delegation and we enjoyed the pure exhilarating mountain air. We shaded the final lap at day break, through the historical Chicamauga Park, and Missionary Ridge. Hundreds of monuments, tablets and stones mark the places where the heroes, North and South in '61-'65, met in titanic struggle and fell. The many states have erected these by the scores and thousands adorned the acres of government-owned battle fields to tell the gruesome story. The return was quite as eventful and interesting as the going, tho we made the trip through from Chattanooga to Macon in a single day. We were laid up shortly for repairs and supplies and made the trip from Macon to Savannah during the next night in good shape. We were the recipients of many courtesies and kindnesses along the way from the great number of acquaintances of members of our party. Our party was all that one could idealize in congeniality, mutual interest and good fellowship. Many of us, on this occasion, saw our friends in their real natures. It was very beneficial to all and particularly to the less experienced of us in that it gave us a vision of manhood temperament, The sessions were full of information, inspiration and were well attended. They brought together the real "big Negroes" of the country. The Savannah delegation was much in evidence, the largest at Chattanooga, several having gone by rail.
