S. District Agent T. M. Campbell. Those accompanying him on the trip were Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute; Major J. B. Ramsey, com- mandent; Clement Richardson, asslst- ant director of the academic depart- ment; and C. M. Battey, photographer. ‘The party was piloted by C. D, Men- afee, U. S. demonstration agent of Lee county. . ‘The committee was amazed at the umber of prosperous Negro farmers in Lee county—Negroes dwning large acres, plenty of stock, and flourlshing gardens. Incidentally, as was fre- quently pointed out by the treasurer and Acting Priveipal Warren Logan, “large acreage seems in every ease to indicate large aud healthful families.” Men were running farms which ranged from $0 to 450 acres; they being paid for and free of debt. Everywhere corn was the predominating crop, ranging from thirty to fifty acres, with two and three good ears to the stalk. Cotton wag flouri-hing, though the boll weeril greatly reduced the year’s crop, as that -is rampant in Tee county. Velvet Deans were riotivz: stock were In plenty. Without exaggeration, the Negro farmers of Ice county are raising what they eat. The committee had dinner at the home of a farmer named Ben- ford, who lives some seven or eight nilles out of Opelika. On the table were seven varieties of home-grown ~egetables cooked with meat, when necescary from the smoke houses. The biscuit and com bread were both made from the grain grown by Farmer Ben- ford. Milk smd butter ;came from their own cows. Apple trees were heavy with ripening fruit in an or- chard which paid ©1-0,9 year from sale of tr Att + tore cf Farmer Somers, the committer found again a large acreage of corn and foodstuffs, plenty of hogs, a run of beef cattle, and d alrycows. ‘he farmer sells regularly to the mark- ets of Opeliku. He like all other farm- ers had a large run of poultry. Farmer Dowell was one of the big finds. He had thirty heads: of hogs, twelve cows, fifty bushels of wheat in his granury, which fell. short thirty bushels this year, he having raised eighty bushels last year; meat in his smoke house, a yard full of poultry. In bis flelds which were luxuriant with corn and velvet beans, and which flurished in cotton,‘he employed the “Manguin” method of terracing, aided vy Demonstrator Monafee. This meth- od consists in making wide, low ter- races, depending on the slope, and planting on the terraces. Thus his fields had held their fertilizer, their water, and bare no ‘signs of washouts. He owned 386 acres, and set a table from his own produce. Farmer Murphy had 17 turkeys on the rooxt pole, three’’middlings and one ham still banging from last year’s killing, five hogs in the pasture, and au orchard weighted down with -pears und apples, He owns 120 acres, was growing plenty of foodstuff, some to “sell. His wife was collecting her sacks of dried apples from the froat porch ks the committee left their homes Just ont of Salem, Ala, is a Negro woman, farmer, Crowder by name. She was the mo-t aggressive “man” of them ail. A ebarcoal pit barred the road to her house. Back of there was a pile of new shingles, which she was paying for with the charcoal that She sold in town. She owns six cows, two mules, four hogs, corr, the best of which car- . ried three and-four ears to the stalk; ‘ sugar cane, velvet, beans, soy beans - and tomatoes. Between two and three bushels were spread, out, in her back ‘all. She plowed ‘like the rest” when KNIGHTS OF DAMON HOLD ANNUAL SESSION The eleventh annua{ sessfon of the Supreme Lodge, Ancient Order of the ‘Knights of Damon, was called on Mon- day lust, at the corner Gwinnett lane ‘und West Broad street.

Creagh, Gaines Scarlett and others, got together and decided that Waycross must have thé honor of do- ing something else that no other local league in the nation would do at this national meeting, namely: give a check for one hundred dollars, ‘These are the charges preferred against the six ae business men from Waycross. | Bat listen, Df.

We have passed the panicky period when every one decides to economize, regardless of common sense. The only difference it seems to have made in our daily life is that we have become more thoughtful. We no longer purchase carlessly but given attention to each individual outlay; the abnormal economy has disappeared and given place to a normal, unextravagant expenditure. As yet, the war has only influenced our clothes in certain styles, such as in trench coats, military capes, and in the use of khaki-colored materials for suits. In England, however, it has made a radical difference in the material-used for suits for both men and women, © MCCALL A Frock Well Adapted to the Small Woman Since the mills are weaving cloths for military uniforms, the same type of cloth in a looser weave is being made for civilian population. Naturally, the colors differ; and brown, navy blue and mixtures seem to predominate. No doubt these will influence the kind of fabrics used here, since we have long looked to England for materials suitable for tailored suits. The gaiety of plaids and checks, which haev endeared themselves to us in the ginghams so popular this summer, is to be seen among silks and in a modified degree among wool materials for early fall dresses and separate skirts. Plaid skirt pleated are very fashionable for sports and general utility wear. The combining of materials is fashionable as well as very practical. NATALL An Evenenig Gown of Taffeta and Georgette recently saw a very pretty and stylish frock, suitable for the late summer or early fall, of sand-colored tussah silk and polka-dotted blue foulard. The waist of this dress was made extremely plain and semi-fitted with a straight tunic, up each side of the waistline, over a skirt of polkd-dotted silk, and tussah silk buttons with a narrow blue rim-were used down the front and down one side of each silt in the tunic, while on the other side were buttonholes bound with blue silk. The illustration shows a dress designed for small women, in more falllike materials, which is developed in a similar way. The materials used are blue serge and blue satin.

Other combinations suitable for street and afternoon frocks are broadcloth and satin, and jersey cloth and taffeta or rajah. A fashionable color combination, imported from Paris, is gray and black. The second illustration shows an evening dress of brocaded taffeta combined with Georgette crepe. The entire dress is in this instance made of the taffeta except for a straight piece of the Georgette attached to an upper tunic of taffeta, which reaches across the front and sides only. The Georgette softly veils the taffeta beneath. Gay plaids and figured silks are often veiled with Georgette crepe in an alluring and fascinating manner. Sometimes the underdress is of plain material elaborately beaded or embroidered and then shadowed by the overdress of sheer Georgette. Although wool embroidery continues to be very fashionable, chenille is taking their place. These vary in style from small close-fitting shapes to large shapes with broad flat brims or brims which turn up either all the way around or at one side. The trimming is more often the same color than it is of a contrasting color. Hand-bags are varled in style. They are shown now on frames which are much more practical than the bags which opened and closed with a drawstring. The headed bags are all the rage, from the very expensive ones to the more simple ones of velvet and silk beaded with some simple design. The buckskin or chamois bags, beaded in designs which are distinctly Indian in their origin, are among the latest and therefore smartest of these bags. They go particularly well with the tailored suit. Since every one is knitting, every one is interested in an all-important knitting bag. These large and roomy bags are also being used for shopping. Some are made with ten to twelve-inch sticks across the top with ribbons attached through which the arm is passed. Others are made with oval embroidery hoops for handles, and all are made of the gayest of cretonnes, tapestries, and silks. If one is very particular, there can be several to go with different frocks. The thing to be remembered being that in this case a contrast is most effective. Hot Springs, Ark.-I have been to the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, and on a whole there were not as many people there as has been in past years, yet the session was successful in many particulars, and perhaps one of the greatest in the history of the order, and the next will be held in Atlantic City, N. J. There was a lively contest between the city that won, and the city of Louisville, Ky. Supreme Chancellor Green was himself and he made many friends by the manner in which he presided over the body. He is just one dignified officer, and his friends all admired him. He was unanimously elected for another two years, for which he expressed thanks. There were many important things transacted during the session. The Supreme Court was presided over by Supreme Worthy Counsellor Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, and he made a fine presiding officer in a way, and that I shall discuss later. I want to pay my respects to some of the people there, and congratulate the city of St. Louis and the state of Missouri for the fine manner in which they transacted business. Do you know that this body, or bodies are composed of some of the greatest men and women in America? Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson, who is next to the throne, was on the altar for slaughter, but when the votes were counted, she was ahead by three, hence will remain in the office, Mrs. A. D. Keys, of Texas, found that her head had dropped in the wastebasket, and Mrs. Mundy of Kentucky was her successor; and Mrs. C. Curl Maxwell, who had served in the office of Supreme Register of Deeds for twenty years, retired from office, and named her successor, Mrs. Hazelwood, Mrs. Maxwell is well trained, and during the twenty years she has held the position everything has been right up to the last minute, and she has been at herself. Thousands of dollars have passed through her hands belonging to the order, and every cent has been found right in its place, and it has been used as directed. She was highly praised by the people. Dr. A. N. Prince held down the position of medical examiner, and he made such a telling report that he was re-elected by the unanimous vote. He is a good doctor, a scholar and a Christian gentleman. He was accompanied by his wife and sons. I must not forget the Georgia women, for that state was certainly put on the map by Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Hill, as well as other women from the state. Mrs. Hill, from Savannah, is one more trained woman, and she is a speaker. I heard her respond to an address of welcome, and just lifted the supreme court heavenward, so to speak. She held up the good name of Georgia and I am sure that her state will give her a vote of thanks. Georgia had some of its strong men and women there, and I got much out of coming in touch with them and tell you they certainly did do things in great shape there. To me it was a source of pleasure to come in touch with these great and good people from this is from the printed report. Virginia—well it was not there, although there seemed to be a great desire to kiss and make up. There was the expression from many of the representatives there. Many of the state had declared that the case would be settled through arbitration if they could get hold of Hon. John Mitchell, but he did not come, but on the other hand said that he would be contented to settle or abide by the decision of the courts. I regret this very much, because it takes somuch money out of the hands of our people. For instance, for assistance in the injunction suit in SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1,1917 Washington it costs the supreme attorney $1,450 to Wm. C. McCard attorney in Virginia case $700; Henry E. Davis and James A. Cobb $750 and this is fro mthe printed record. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. C. M. Wade, and talking with Dr. E. E. Underwood of Frankfort, and Rev. H. H. Anderson of Atlantic City. Dr. Anderson is a little man, but believe me he is a power. He is well educated, one of the best preachers in the A. M. E. church. I have mentioned a few of the men, and now I must turn attention to women. I have told you time and again about Mrs. C. A. Tuggle, what a great woman she was. She is full of information. She had with her from Alabama such women as Mrs. Fannie Cosby-Blevins, Mrs. Mary Butler-Murray, Mrs. N. King-Sanders, Mrs. Carrie Chambers, Mrs. Crowling, from Montgomery; Miss Pauline Kigh and others whose names I do not recall. Tennessee held her own there, and I am sure you will be proud of those who represented you from Tennessee. Dr. Crawford served on the auditing committee in the Supreme Court, and he went right into the core of everything, and reported on the condition of the finance of the order.

Among The Masons Our Duty Toward Each Other A Mason is bound to consult the happiness and promote the interest of his brother; to avoid everything offensive to his feelings; to abstain from reproach, censure and unjust suspicions; to warn him of his machinations of his enemies; to advise the welfare and reputation of his family; to protect the chastity of his house; to defend his life, property, and what is dearer to a man of honor, his character, against unjust attacks; to instill into his mind proper ideas of conduct in the department of life which he is called to fill; and it may be added, to further his schemes of interest and paramount duties a man owes to the community. If such are the obligations a man owes to his brother they are especially the duties that one Freemason ought to perform to another. Our order enjoins them as rules from which nothing can justify a deviation, and considers their infraction a violation of honor, conscience and religion, a prostitution of all that is deemed sacred and venerable among men. But Masonry does not confine the benignity of her precepts to her followers; it rises high in the scale of honor, honesty, and good faith to all men; it aspauses the cause of universal benevolence and virtue; it declares as unworthy of its patronage any violation of the laws of rectitude, and its votaries exemplify in their lives the truth of the remark that, although there be vicious men in the Fraternity, they are better than if they were not Masons. God-Inspired "The Masonic order seems so wonderful to me that I sometimes think God must have inspired our founders to make it the unit of all creeds. The order I not meant to take the place of the church, but combines the different faiths in one unit, where no contention exists; it encourages education, all branches; it broadens its members and is indeed the brotherhood of man, of good men, of trusty friends, of those who delight in doing good to their fellowmen, and in assisting in the upbuilding of the communities in which they live. "We do not claim to be saints nor so much better that the profane, but we do aim to be a society of human intelligence, of those who show consideration to the rights of others, and who believe that happiness to others is happiness to us. I often wish I had been born a Masonic student and writer because I have seen so much of the beauties of Masonry that I know such a life would be ideal; but I am thankful for what I have learned, and shall delight in reading what the real students of our order produce."—Selected No blood ties may bind brother Ma- sons, but there is an invisible the which unites them while living and which brings them to the grave of a dead brother, where they drop the sprig of acacia upon his coffin, as the last act of love, and as an expression of the hope for his immortal life after "the dust is returned to the earth as it was and the spirit goes to God who gave it."—Masonic Light. What is Freemasonry? One asks, "What is Freemasonry?" No voice answers. Masonry can never justify its philosophy in words. No plea has ever nor can ever be made to those who are ignorant of its secrets, which can justify its existence. So, while no question is answered, from those hidden Masonic forces, secret and unknown, has issued the flower of fraternity which all the world may see, though none may fully explain, save those who have passed along the road "which leads to light."—Masonic Monthly. --- The Mason's Work The Mason would rather pass his life hidden in the recesses of the deepest obscurity, feeding his mind even with the vicious and imagination of sad deeds and noble actions, than to be placed on the most splendid throne of the universe, tantalized with a denial of practice of all that can make the greatest situation any other than the greatest curse. And if he has been able to lend the slightest step to any great and laudable designs; if he has had any share in any measure giving quiet to private property and to private conscience, making light the yoke of poverty and dependence, or relieving deserving men from oppression; if he has joined in reconciling the different men that best possession, peace; if he has ojined inn reconciling the different sections of his country to each other, and the people to the government of their own creating; and in teaching the citizens to look for his protection to the laws of the country, and for his comfort to the good will of his countrymen; if he has thus taken part with the best of men in the best of their actions, he may well shut the book, even if he might wish to read a page or two more. It is enough for his measure. He has not lived in vain.—Morals and Dogma. Masons, more than any other class of men, should bear constantly in mind the scriptural injunction to live not unto themselves. Those who live up to the obligation taught by Freemasonry obey it daily.—Exchange. RACE HATRED "The country's perils are not all on the sea and beyond," said Dr. Peabody. "Think of the moral earthquake and volcano that has burst in the midst of the land, in our own state, since last "Who would have believed that a massacre that reminds one of St. Bartholomew's night and of the atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia, could occur among our own fellow-citizens in East St. Louis? "But, beware! The peril is nearer than that. The mutterings of the volcano are felt in Chicago. The single explosion is not the most significant thing. The race prejudice, contempt and hatred, working—working beneath—these are the hell below—and they find some lodgment in all our hearts; God help us. "There is far more danger to the public from race hatred within our borders than from all the Germans put together." "Christian citizens of Chicago, think this thing through. Try to make up your mind beforehand what you will do and say when the earthquake and volcano shall be around you. Our country is in dire need of clear heads and stout hearts—Christian hearts, both within and without." Sermon, Rev. H. E. Peabody, pastor South Congregational Church, Chicago. HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT My ear is pained My soul is slick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond. Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthless cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. CHARITY GOODWILL SOCIETY The fourth annual convention of the Charity-Goodwill Independent Society was held at Metter, Ga., on Friday of last week and adjourned the following Sunday. The meeting was largely attended. Grand President R. R. Lanier presiding. Grand Chaplain G. H. Lanair conducted the devotional exercises Friday morning while Grand Secretary J. T. Bell recorded the delegates and attended to the various duties of his office. The welcome address was read by Miss Willie Alvin, which was very heartily received. The call for convention tax by the grand secretary resulted in $71.35 being collected, after LE COULD SIMON QUICK! SOMETHINGS which interesting addresses were made by several members' from the subordinate lodges. At night devotional services were led by Mr. Moses J. Lanier. This was followed by a very inspiring annual sermon by Rev. J. W. Parker. The grand chaplain conducted devotional services Saturday morning after which, the grand president took charge of the meeting, requesting the grand secretary to raise the free will offering for the beginning of, the work on permanent headquarters for the society. This appeal amounted to $185 being raised. At this juncture the various committees rendered their reports, which were both encouraging and interesting, these including the reports of the presidents of subordinate lodges and field agents. After the report of Grand Vice President L. R. Boyd, adjournment for dinner was in order. The afternoon session brought forth among other things of interest, the report of the grand president. It was a very encouraging account of his stewardship and showed with what zeal, vigor and untiring effort he had worked for the society during the past twelve months. Upon motion by Mr. J. G. Lambert the president was given a rising vote of thanks for his masterly efforts in behalf of the organization. It was shown by both Grand Secretary Bell and Grand Treasurer J. A. Grass that the society had grown largely numerically and that the finances were on a sound basis with not a single due claim unpaid. The election of officers at 4:00'clock resulted in the old board being unanimously re-elected for a term of two years, the vote being cast by Mr. R. Pierce. At night the opening services were conducted by Mr. I. S. Bryant and Mr. G. W. Hendrix. A very interesting sermon by Rev. O. W. Stephens followed. The last day's session of the society was opened by Messrs. P. G. Grant and G. W. Hendrix, who conducted the devotions. A sermon by Rev. A Mack followed, with a collection of $10.20 closing the service, making a total raised during the three days' of $263.80. The next session of the convention will be held at Dover. Loud and very liberal indeed were the delegates in their praises of the generous manner in which the people of Metter entertained the convention. The officers of the society for the coming two years are R. R. Lanler, grand pre-ident; L. R. Boyd, grand vice president; J. T. Bell, grand secretary; J. A. Grass, grand treasurer and G. H. Lanler, grand chaplain. MURDER THAT 'MUST BE STOPPED The lynching of Frank Little, the I. W. W. leader at Butte, was murder of the most cold-blooded sort. The people of this country must understand that despicable crimes of this char- acter cannot be continued with impunity. There is only one way to discourage mob rule, and that is to punish the men who resort to it. Of all the lynchings that have been recorded in the newspapers in recent years it is impossible to point to a single instance where anyone participating in the outrages paid the penalty for thus taking human life in defiance of the law. Negro men, women and children have been ruthlessly massacred by mobs, and although in many cases the crimes have been committed openly the authorities have contented themselves with declaring an determination to bring the guilty to justice, and there the matter has end- It makes no difference whether or not Little rallied against the country and called the United States soldiers scabs. It makes no difference how active he may have been in stirring up his followers to disregard the laws of the land. If he committed offense against the laws there was a legal remedy at hand. If these misguided murderers think they have done their country a service by breaking into Little's room, dragging him out, and stringing him up, they are very much mistaken. Their very act will only serve to create sympathy for a cause that has much to condemn it. The world is at war with Germany because Germany thinks she can hold in contempt the laws of civilization, the rights of humanity. When we countenance the crime of lynching we are guilty of just such things that we abhor in our enemy. Lynching is a crime against civilization. The country must arouse itself to a realization that something must be done to stop it.

Saturday September 1, 1917 Are all Negro soldiers to be held up in national contempt because in few resented continued insults and intimidations? The Italian's maka 'dem a-hump, while the Russian, millions are each and every one trying to talk at the same time. France and England continue their regular, ceaseless and pitiless pressing onward. Germany and Austria, like a cat in a corner, are fighting back in every direction,—but a losing battle. Negroes bidding for every grade and rank of the military service—competent Negroes, too—while the problems of state grow harder, the burden heavier. The Committee of Nihd mustn't grow weary in well doing. You have done gloriously, gentlemen, but you must go on. Remember you said you wouldn't quit. Principle is at stake. While wages are good and living is less costly than it will be in the winter—now is the time to put a dollar or two into the bank against the "rainy day," the "lean" season. Have you done it? We have demonstrated to the city fathers that colored children appreciate play ground facilities and need them. We are grateful for the beginning that has been made, but we want the commission to deal more liberally in making the next budget. We want playgrounds in Yamaeray, the Fort and Middle Western section. The stage is set for the beginning of the legal steps to carry out council's order removing the tenderloin from the West Side. The Chief and Mayor appear disposed to stand pat on their former positions, despite Council's action and the citizens of Savannah. What is the efficacy of a councilmanic order, any way, especially when it contravenes the preconceived purpose of the Mayor? The great American mind, the genius of American statecraft, and the renowned political acumen of American scholarship is turned upon the "burning question of the hour," viz: where shall we locate the cantonments for Negro drafted men? The other great nations of the earth claim to be fighting for freedom. Every nation is making concessions to its subject people and extending a fuller participation in the affairs of state. Our "big men" are raving ladderiously to keep the fires of race prejudice, race hatred, discrimination and oppression burning brightly. What other construction can be placed upon this agitation against Negro cantonments? UNPATRIOTIC RAVINGS The ravings of Manning and Tillman et al. against the locating of Negro soldiers and Negro training camps in South Carolina—in fact it is the policy of anti-Negro agitators like these to advise the government not to locate training camps and, soldiers in any locality where a few whimsical cranks may make objection and protest is passing disgusting. Can it be resentment to Negroes, per se, whence there are thousands of them there already? Can it be fear of armed Negroes, whom they imagine and anticipate to be lawless and re- vengeful? Is it aversion to Negro organization and training in the arts of organized modern-warfare, as a general proposition? Or is it opposition to the almost certain elevation and restoration of Negroes to some pre-eminence in military affairs, once held, and easily to be sustained under op- portunity in the military service. We opine that it is difficult to decipher, definitely, just what the opposition of these demagogues and fire eaters may mean. We venture that it is vague in their own minds, and is really based on a curious and morbed blend of all the above imaginations. zThe press and the public give too much space and ear to men like these,—men, who seem to have little idea of the appropriateness and timeliness of things. These men should be frowned down—they should be classified with the anti-cousscriptionists and anti-draft agitators. There can be no sane objection to Negro training camps or the presence of Negro soldiers in any community. On the other hand, they are a valuable asset to any community, when they are treated respectfully and decently. Wherever and whenever they have had treatment trouble or clash with civilians and neighbors, the trouble had been always traced to intimidation or meddling or threats of them from the out side. Every one, white and black, knows how common it is for ignorant and arrogant and envious white boys to assail Negro troopers or other groups of Negroes. It is commoner, also, and more natural also for Negro soldiers than other Negroes to retaliate in kind. This is the story of Brownsville and Houston and other places. We repeat, the causes are well known. Negro soldiers are a select body of men, both as to behavior and intelligence. There is less likelihood of trouble emanating from them than from most groups, conscious as they are of their responsibility and relation to the government. We have had occasion to investigate the temper and morale of the Negro soldier, the regular and the volunteer, and we know he is peaceable and disdains notoriety. At times these men have been goaded and intimidated into desperation; it has been under these circumstances that they have had trouble. When investigation has been made it, has always been traced and assigned as above. It is necessary to go over this thing in order to offer any erroneous notion that these men are beside themselves under arms. Any city or section would do well to invite—to welcome—regiments of Negro soldiers or Negro training camps. They would mean much to a community in the inspiration and information they would bring, aside from any mercenary or commercial reasons. We would like to see them located in Savannah and in other southern cities. We do not think they would require any more supervision and restraint than white recruits in training. Why should they? There is no rule or reason why they should not be well demeaned, if let alone and treated fairly. We hope the government may see it to statudio them in many southern cities and that the fortunate cities will be liberal and co-operate,—rising to the duty and dignity of the occasion both for their own good and the good of the nation, now at war. It would be dangerous for the government to temporize with or indulge these professional objectors in their unjust and unsound contentions. The government has already, perhaps, decided to mobilize Negro troops in Southern centers; it is logical, natural, economical and sensible to do so. The affair at Houston establishes no rule of the conduct of Negro soldiers, no precedent of the behavior of Negroes in uniform and under arms, unless it be that they are human and have a limit of endurance, even if it be remote, from the intimidations, insults, discrimination and injury. Such a clash, while serious enough, cannot be allowed to determine the military policy of the nation. It is sufficient to separate the Negroes and whites at the various cantonments. It may be politic to have the Negroes and whites in different cities and sections, for these is more likelihood of clash between Negro and white soldiers, than between troopers and civilians of any type. There certainly is no ground for the fear that Negro recruits require the "restraining presence" of white soldiers. If Savannah should be fortunate enough to get an allotment of Negro soldiers or recruits, there would most certainly be no trouble to result from it. We have the people and the condition suitable for such a thing. Our people have the temperament, and we would be able, without doubt, to forever eradicate the baseless suspicion of these victims of Negro-phobia who are raving and ranting against the locating of Negro troops on southern soil. NEGRO SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH There lies on our desk a wonderfully comprehensive, conscientious and painstaking study of Negro education in the United States, issued on behalf of the Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, and treating in full on the "private and, high schools for colored people in the United States." This stupendous work, in two volumes, was "prepared in co-operation with the Phelps-Stokes Fund under the direction of Thomas Jesse Jones, specialist in the Education of Racial Groups. Bureau of Education." This splendid survey is the result of several years of most careful investigation, personal study and observation by Mr. Jones and his assistants, all experts in educational matters, and is remarkable for its true estimate and sound valuation and appraisal of the great number of educational plants, scattered all over the southland. The study embraces schools ranging all the way from institutions of national fame for highest efficiency to those whose work is of no value, those which are made the basis and excuse for a play upon philanthropy for the personal gain of their promoters. The work will go a long way toward informing philanthropists, educational boards, societies and individuals scattered all over the United States, whose knowledge of educational conditions is vague and necessarily limited. The method and scope of this important study embrace the management, equipment, geographical location, the curricula, the standard and fitness of the teaching forces, the support, the book-keeping and accounting and the purposes of the schools. Nothing could be more enlightening, nothing more beneficial and servicable, in the great influence which this wealth of tabulated information may have on education in the South in the immediate future. Each separate study is followed by a general figurative summarization and an observation; and each is concluded by general and specific recommendations. For instance, the study of the Georgia State Industrial College discloses that "the agricultural department is equipped to do good work" * * * "There seems to be little attempt to conduct the farming operations for educational purposes. Only three of the graduates of the school are reported as engaged in farming. Crops are raised on the farm on a commercial basis." "Teachers are reasonably well-prepared for high school work." The study concludes with the following recommendations: "1. That the normal and college departments be combined into a good teacher-training course, especially adapted to the needs of rural districts." 2. "That the extensive agricultural facilities be used for educational purposes and effort made to secure the co-operation, and supervision of the State College of Agriculture." 3. "That the boarding department be conducted by the school (the boarding department is conducted privately and figures for the department are not available)." One or two additional recommendations are unimportant. The study in this instance appears to be very true to the mark and sets up, as we have observed, a lack of efficient use of the splendid equipment and facilities at the disposal of the management there. There can certainly be no gain-saying the facts underlying and which are made the basis for these recommendations here enumerated. Viewed in the light of the grave and conspicuous inadequacy of secondary education for Negroes in Georgia, these observations should have their just weight in determining the future policy and plans for the school. As far as we have been allowed and could consistently do so, we have given every aid and assistance to further the interests of the Georgia State College for the great service which it may be to the youth of the state. Our criticisms have been made, dispassionately, charitably and free of bias. Our chief concern has been the welfare of Negro education, and we have all the time undertaken to sustain the Commission, a splendid body of men, at its head, who have all the time appeared to take a very liberal view of Negro education. Throughout, the study of the Bureau of Education has been constructive; it has not been unmindful of limitations of finance and administrative authority and option; and it has, all the time been intended to help to secure the highest efficiency and the loftiest ideals in educational objective which any set of circumstances might permit. The next meeting of the Colored Teachers will be of particular interest to the educational workers of Washington and the East, as it will hold its sessions at picturesque Harper's Ferry. Mr. Abraham Murry died at Charity Hospital on August 15th after an illness of about two months. Mr. Murry who was 76 years of age, was a man of quiet disposition, and well liked by all who knew him. The funeral services were held August 17th at the chapel of the Royal Undertaking establishment, the Rev. J. W. White of Shiloh Baptist church performing the ceremonies. The remains were taken to Garniett, S. C., and buried rom Hopewell C. M. E. church, Rev. J. S. Smith and Rev. E. W. Graham officiating. The deceased is survived by a wife, four daughters, one son and seven grand children. Mrs. Ruth M. Cheney Mrs, Ruth M. Cheney died Monday at Freedman's hospital, Washington, D. C., after an illness of about three weeks. Mrs. Cheney was well known here. She was prior to her marriage to Mr. P. W. Cheney in Bowie, Md., five weeks ago, Miss Ruth M Pettie, one of the local county school teachers. The body was brought here by her husband Wednesday, the funeral taking place from the First Congregational church yesterday afternoon.

Miss Josie Mae Dickson Miss Josie Mae Dickson Miss Josie Mae Dixon died August 22nd at her home, 510 Gaston street, west, after an illness of about four months. Miss Dixon was 22 years of age and a young woman of excellent disposition and very popular among the younger set. She was a graduate of Beach Institute and an active worker in several of the institutions of which she was a member. Her funeral was held last Sunday afternoon from the First Congregational church and was attended by a large crowd of her friends. The services were performed by the Rev. N. M. Clarke of Beth Eden Baptist church and Rey. J. L. Taylor of St. Stephen's Episcopal church. The honorary pall bearers were Miss Lucille Spencer, Miss Rosa Mae Williams, Miss Harriet Parkhurst, Miss Hazel Heffron, Miss Lizzle Stoney and Miss Bessle Newkirk. The deceased is survived by a grand mother, Mrs. Eliza Habersham; an aunt, Mrs. Lula Burke; a cousin, Mrs. Ethel Boifeuillette and one uncle, Mr. John Habersham.

Twas a bitter grief, a shock severe, To part with you whom I loved is dear. I miss your coming foursteps, I miss your loving voice. Home is not what it used to be Since you are not here, Your face beams before me From a portrait on the wall; That is all that is left to cheer me Since you answered your last call. You are gone but not forgotten, And never shall your memory fade, Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger Round the grave where you are laid. From your loving wife. DORSON—In sad but loving memory of our darling, Mary Lillian Dobson, who departed this life August, 20, 1916, at the age of 10 years. Dead, but not forgotten, Each day thy memory brightens With low descending sun, Calling your yester presence, Thy mother's increasing love. Time, the hoary-headed swain, From me you separate not dear— Nor death its conquering train, Neither life its mortality tear— But these to me shall bring three heirs. Chas. Edw.

What promises to be one of the most exciting boxing contests pulled off here for some time is that of June 11th at the Airbase, in which Rough House, Wate of New Yo, and Battling Homes of Boston, Mass., meets in a 15 round contest. Both men seem to be on edge for the scrap and have shown up well in their work outs at the airbase which have been witnessed by an unusually large crowd, each night. Two more even matched fighters, so far as weight and general make up go, have not been seen here for some time. Each man has gained a large following during his training here and the interest in the fight is higher than has been manifested in any contest here for the past two years. While the men have never met each other, some idea may be had of the evenness of the contest when it is known that they have on several occasions faced the same men with the same results. They will go into the ring carrying approximately the same weight; Rough House at 174 pounds and Holmes at 172½. The preliminaries will bring together some of the fastest of the local boys while the battle royal will present some real hard nuts among the kids. The doors will be opened at 8:30 o'clock and the price of admission will be 75 and 50 cents. Plenty of action throughout the night. N. A. A. C. P.

The work was developed to a high standard and was classified as Child Rescue. After several years of efforts along this line the results were of such a nature as to bring about a change in method. The mere res- suing of the child was not sufficient and gave no alluring promise that perman- ent good would come. It was finally decidec that to round out each indl- vidual after the foundation work of resette wits done the child could be fol- lowed up, advised and assisted in the home; ful ved up in the day school; followed up in the Sunday school and church, also in its outside community life. ‘Thus by watchful and sympa- thetic care would come about the de- velopment of good, honest and upright citizens, Consexuently on this basis, the Jure- nile Court was founded and It had Its first orgenization in Chicago, the most cosmopolitan of American cities, in the ear 1809, Time Is fast proving that this new way of dealing with children is much more effective than the old way. Juvenlle Coufts in the mean- while have spread quite rapidly in the North and West and now are edging their way-slowly Into the South. To me, the best ground for the establish- ment of these courts is pnrely econo- mic—the greatest good for the least sacrifice. : “J By the establishmont of this court the state acknowledges that a child is| Dot capable of choostng between what: 4g morally right and what is morally’ “wrong. Its parents are responsible | Yor its training. If the parent or guardian do not manifest such super- vision as would create an uplifting en- vironment for the promotion of health, morals and general welfare of a child, the state, the parent of us all, steps| in throuzh the Juvenile Court and handles cuch situation as seems best for the future of the child. The con- stant endeavor of the court is to dis- cover tle cause of each “offensé;"be- Jieving that the cause ts not always within the child. The duty of the court is not -merely offering ench In- dividual its suggestions as regards cor- recting injuriows habits and forming higher standards of living, its duty also ts to bring home to individuals— by stern methods, if necessary—the fact that his or her opportunity les in making use of this privileze; there- by to m 3 citizens, not criminals. Society recognizes today that this care 4s essenti+l not only for the sake of the individual, but for the safety of the state. Historicelly, the first object of pro- bation was 10 spare children from the stigma aud other disadvantages and evils of incarceration. It was a hu- mane substitute for Imprisonment, As probation: developed, however, a sec ond aim came to be to gather infor. mation concerning the subsequent con: duct and habits of those boys con: ditioually released by the court, to the end that In case of relapse the Ian + mlght be vindicated. The main duty o! the probation officer was to keep postei about the behavior of those under his care, “Recently. however, the emphasis ha: come to rest more afd more upon it aducative, reformative possibilities; n lorger a mere substitute for somethin; else and not content with simply s¢ curing information, tts chief purpos is new generally recognized as being t effect improvement in eonduct an home surroundings; to achieve, if po sible, permanent reformation andr hantiiéation hic Jeet ie the court times for as long a perlod as a month, He had stolen articles two or three times before.” Whenever stole he us- ually bought edibles with the money. Lut yourself in this boy’s place at 15, with the physiology of & boy at this age In mind. If you worked regularly, brought ‘your money home time and again and found nothing at home to eat, It would be the most ~natural thing In the world first to run away, then to steal, This case proved to be oue of delinquency and neglect, Ac- cordingly, I recommended that the hoy ve taken away from that aunt and Placed where he could get the advant- uge of discipline, of fair treatment, of school and religious training. ‘The little family has not been left entirely to the ravages of sin and poverty. The Assocluted Charities is assisting in a plan to send the auut and little boy away to relatives in South Carolina who own -their farm. A little different case is presented in the matter of W. B., a boy of 13 in his second year in first grade who was never caught red-handed because he was always shrewd enough to get away. He found his way into court as a witness, but was detained on the charge of being a neglected child. No father, mother works out during the ‘day, 2 grown sister fs around some ‘times but she has two children with no particular father. Consequently, the boy wanders about the streets with ab- solutely no guardianship or even re- straining hand, Our treatment of last resort was placed at this boy's dis- posal and he fs now undergoing an in- teresting and beautiful spiritual met- amorphosts. . With’ a few moments further in- dulgence 1 would have you note the case of AF, G., a boy of 14 years who actually committed a theft aid pawned the articles, He admitted the charge.

A regular attendant at church and Sun- dayschool, This boy was placed on probation to me until arrangements are completed for sending him off to school, These actugi cases might give you a glimpse of how in a sincere and sym- pathetic sort of way the court Is-at+ tempting to relieve permauefitly the sociul evils of loose living, poverty and ignorance. ‘These evils make no racial Gistincticns whatever and are iis bad on one sige as-the other. . A's yet girls are rarely seen In court, vo for the most part my references are concerning boys. ‘he general tendency Of a boy is not to he good. His ten- dency is to go in the line of least re- sistance. Thus ft {s not natural for a boy to be good any more than ft is to raixe a weedless crop without qaltivation. Now when we reflect the standard of living of the Jarger num- ver of people, the line of least resist- ance seems as endless as the rainbow. So it is quite obvious that while a colored child presents the same po- tentialitles 2s the wMilte, the degree representing the eulmlnation of tn.

The most striking thing in this num- erical chart is that it Indicates more cases Investigated, brought to court and passed upon during the month of ‘June than in any previous month in the history of the Juvenile Court of Savannah. Number two is designed to im- press you with the proportion of child- ren handled according to ages. As you readily see between the ages of 9 _and 12 inclusive we get 75 per cent, of Sour cages. At 10 the temporary quict- Ing down of the child ts about over. ‘and at 12 the old street wanderlust reaches its highest point, also the in- dividuai is fast approaching puberty ‘and severe physical changes are being ‘mude, resulting ‘sometimes in extreme irritability, whieh ts the root of quite ‘a large number of delinquencies up to and beyond 16. The influence of school atmosphere as the ages run up has a noticeable effect and regardless of the other influences tends to decrease delin quencies, o Victor Hugo sald: “Each”new school house closes one prison,” yet despite the spread of public education, we are still building prisons. It seems that one trouble has been, education bas consisted too much of implanting in- formation from without On this “thought Emerson said:+ “Life is nine tenths conduct.” This bas been seri- ously overlooked by many of our teach- _ers and professors who work only on the assumption that life is nine teaths information, More and more our pub- Mie school system is approaching the | Montessori method, in whieh the polnt ‘of view is that of the child, This means a greater co-operation with the Juvenile Court in its business of pre- vention. ‘The report on retardation or rather ‘the school standing of the offeriders, shows a steady ‘decrease of about four points by grades from first to fourth.

Stearns. her title for this lesson rather be one given would be "The end of a Restored Israel," for it record of a time yet future when shall never again be a prey to lions (verses 27-31), when the Israel, the Lord, shall be in list of them and they shall not many more (Zeph. ill, 14, 15). shall the twelve tribes be one of their own land, and one King to them all, and they ever again be divided into two sins, and God shall make with an everlasting covenant of peace well in their midst forevermore xxxvil, 15-25). There are still who say and teach that God is with Israel as a nation because their sins, but such people must my dear to the words of the Jer. xxxl, 35-37; xxxil, 23-20, says that until sun, moon increase to shine He will never His people Israel, notwithall that they have done. The of the Spirit through Paul is came in Rom. xi, 1, 2, 25-27.

They will be the various nation on earth, and many nations be joined to hold the earth be filled with Isa. lx, 13, 21, 22; xxvil, 6.

It is strange, in- so many believers, truly ople, have no heart for the kingdom; so many preach- o interest in Daniel or Reven- ny prophecy, and as one re- d, "If I can get my people I safely to heaven I do not Another with the things of Dan- Revelation, which I cannot un- id." Is it not a possibility that in our Lord might say what He the two on the way to Emmaus, is, and slow of heart, to believe is the prophets have spoken!" exiv. 25.) days of Jeremiah and Ezekiel were those who were more interested in the welfare of themselves than others, who ran without being sent Lord, who spoke lies out of the Lord their own hearts and caused people to err by their lies and their sins (Ezek. xxxiv, 2, 8, 10; Jer. 10, 17, 21, 25, 26, 32). It is possible there are still such false and the Lord will reckon with due time, for He is against and the reckoning will be a very matter for them. Every true or teacher should be the Lord's anger with the Lord's message, and ord to them is, "Hear the word of ord, hear the word at My mouth give them warning from me" (Hng. Ezek. xxxiv, 7, 9; ill, 4, 17). To the comfort is that His word ever fall to accomplish His pleased He will watch over it to permit (Isa. lv, 11; Jer. 1, 12, R. V.). It is always remember that, while the Bible there are words for individual heart, when God says He means Israel, the descendants obey who was called Israel, and on church, and I have not yet any place where the church is Israel or Israel the church.

Tomorrow is communion day and the Sunday school will convene at 2:45. League will begin at 7 p.m. and night service at 8:15. JUENILE DELINQUENCY (Continued from Page Six) few of these ever come back, that is marry and outlive the stigma. Some have two and three sets of children. Here is a place for more practical church work. Here is a place for the Y. M. C. A. and every club and secret order in the city, to help directly in reforming this condition or give regular and substantial contributions to authorized agencies now doing the work. The causes of delinquency are not numerous; yet because of this very thing they are exceedingly significant. It is a serious proposition when you consider that 81 per cent of the cases were directly due to the fault of the family here is a place for a tremendous task of education. With your permission I would like to suggest that the settlement home in Yamacraw take the lead in this matter by organizing mothers' clubs on home economics. That a kitchen be installed and classes in correct conduct and management in the home be operated. I would suggest a similar use of the mission in the Fort. And let us look forward to the early establishment of a settlement house in Frogtown, the "Little Africa" of Savannah. Such classes as these just once each week would do a world of good. Why I have been so bold as to make these suggestions is because I have observed that in many instances the people earn enough to take care of two families but they never have anything and their children are constantly neglected, all through ignorance and improper home management. One woman with whom the court came into contact, living in Yamacraw makes about one hundred dollars each month of her life. Two or three between twenty-five and fifty dollars per week. The average size of family is 4. These few facts which I have given you are not in any way colored by personal opinion, rather they represent exactly what has been encountered. The records are on file at the court. These cases are all typical cases because they are of the same general trend as more than one hundred other cases on record in the court here and of the same trend as Negro cases in other cities where there are large numbers of the race. GOOD SAMARITAN LEADER TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK Prof. T. K. Persley, grand chief of the Improved Order of Good Samaritans, will be in the city during next week, visiting the lodges of his order. Mr. Persley has been the principal of the largest public school in Macon for many years and is well known as an educator and a secret order man. Friends of Prof. Persley predict for him a successful career as grand chief of the order and bid him welcome to our city. -WHOLESALE AND RETAIL-Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.
