VOLUME XXXIII J. H. Doyle Succeeds J. C. Lindsay LOCAL OFFICE ATLANTA MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY One of Most Successful Negro Enterprises in the South The elevation last week of J. C. Lindsay of this city to the general management of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Company left the local office of the company without a manager for a day or so. This vacancy is now filled however, by J. H. Doyle, a well-known young insurance man who has been with the local office for several years, being appointed to the position. As manager of the local office, Mr. Doyle assumes a position for which he is well fitted and his many friends express no doubt in his ability to conduct the local affairs of the company in a manner which will keep its efficiency up to the high standard set by his predecessor. Mr. Doyle who is one of the youngest insurance managers here, is a native of West Minister, S. C. His office has a force of twenty agents, two clerks and one special man [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit] J. H. Doyle, Mgr. Atlanta Mutual all of whom takes care of a weekly shelf of $1,190.00. The annual election of the stockholders of the company, which was held, in Atlanta last week resulted in several changes in the personnel of the officers, the most important to Savannahians be- being the selection of J. C. Lindsay who has managed the local office of the company for the past nine years, to the general management of the company. Mr. Lindsay will be compell- Gibson. Because of his election to this position, Mr. Lindsay will be compelled to change his residence from this city to Atlanta, headquarters for the company. The importance of Mr. Lindsty's new position may be gleaned from these few facts about the company. It operates in the states of Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas, in which it employs over 600 persons. It has a weekly debit of $3,029.50, has over seventy-five thousand policy holders whose policies amount to more than one million and a half dollars, and has a yearly income of more than four hundred thousand dollars. The company paid out in the past twelve months approximately $78,000 in sick and death claims. It has assets of more than $78,000. The president of the company is A. F. Herndon, who is one of the best known Negro business men of the south. PLKS ORGANIZE MARCHING CLUB The Marching Club of Weldon Lodge No. 26 of Elks of the World, was organized on last Monday night at H. Henry Spencer's shop, 1010 West Broad street. The officers are H. Henry Spencer, president; J. D. Powell, secretary; Prince Cohen, treasurer. Meetings of the club will be held every Monday night. The Morning Call Aid and Social Club, one of the leading and older civic societies of the city, has purchased a $10.00 Liberty Bond. The Morning Call is among the first social clubs that has taken one of the bonds and it is quite likely that other organizations will follow. Mr. John H. Grant is president of the club and Mr. J. D Powell is secretary. Mrs. Lauretta R. Livingston after spending the summer with Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Jenkins of Beaufort, S. C., has returned home. The Stock visited the home with a fine boy. Dr. W. E. Moody returned this week from a visit to the north.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, 17TH, 1917 Made Negro Officer Take Off Uniform Made Negro Officer Take Off Uniform ESCAPED FROM MOB IN CLOTHES OF FATHER Affair Reported to War Department For Investigation Vicksburg, Miss.—"Take off that uniform. No bigger can wear a uniform in Miss. ppd that white people have to honor." This was the salutation that greeted Joseph B. Sanders, 2nd Lieut., Officers Reserve Corps, when he arrived in Vicksburg, Miss., October 18. Sanders was one of the 624 colored officers who had been commissioned by the United States Government after four months intense training at Fort Des Moines, Ia. He had been a soldier in the United States Army. He had been away from home for fourteen years and now that the government had granted him a short leave of absence before reporting to Camp Dodge, he concluded to visit Vicksburg. It was there his mother and father lived. He was going to war, to serve his country to help "Make the World Safe for Democracy." Perhaps this would be his last farewell to the ones he held so dear. He had been honored in the North. He had enjoyed the hospitalities of big hearted St. Louis. He was "An officer and a gentleman." He had been warned, as were all his colleagues that he must submit to the prejudices of the south. He had been told to "hand in your resignation now, if you think you cannot stand it." As the other officers did, he "stuck." Lieutenant Sanders thought he could surely go home and spend a few peaceful days, but the "crackers" of Vicksburg decided, no! In relating his experience; Sanders said: "I arrived in Vicksburg on October 18 and was met by a platoon of white soldiers standing around the station. They did not make any attempt to render any military courtesy whatever; but that was alright. I did not say anything to any of them. I was met on the street by the same soldiers and they called me all kinds of names and said I need not look at them for a salute, for I would not get it. I was knocked off the sidewalks on several occasions and then cussed all kinds of S—of—B's. "When, I arrived at the home of my parents I was visited by two police officers who had been sent by the sheriff to order me to get out of my uniform and leave town and not show upon the streets. I started, at first, to refuse but when I noticed that a mob was forming to lynch me I decided to leave for fear my parents' house would be burned down. I got into an old suit of my father's and escaped through the back door. "When I met some of the members of the mob they inquired of me, 'Where is that nigger officer,' I replied, I do not know. I was disguised and they did not recognize me. I went to Greenville and my mother brought my uniform to me." The following day Lieut. Sanders returned to St. Louis, where he re mained until time to report at his cantonment in Des Moines. The affair has been reported to the War Department. In view of the fact that many colored officers will be thrown in similar positions, the eyes of those interested are centered on the action of the War Department in this case.—Argus. One hundred new members in thirty days is the slogan of the Savannah Home Association. The campaign was started during the week and every member to the man is actively engaged in the affair. The city will be thoroughly canvassed and all desirables will have an opportunity of joining at the campaign rate of $1.75. Just before the association went into its new $15,000 club house last July, it waged a similar campaign and added in thirty days more than two hundred members. It is the purpose of the organization to duplicate its doings to a certain extent, but will not allow more than one hundred to apply within the limited time. The club is divided into companies and each company is fighting hard to carry in the largest number of applicants. See the advertisement elsewhere in this issue. Mrs. J. A. Hadley and family, formerly of this city but now of Atlanta, are in their new home, 600 Houston, where they are receiving their many friends. Whites Compelled To Salute Negroes Whites Compelled To Salute Negroes CONFEDERATE GENERAL STATES MEANING OF UNIFORM "Military Discipline" Strong At Louisville Louisville, Ky., Nov. 11—Louisville, putting aside racial feeling and personal prejudice, has, it is said, settled for itself, patriotically the unreservedly, the propriety of white soldiers saluting Negro officers. This question which came to the fore recently, was on first thought answered negatively, but later a way was found to reconcile inherent convictions with military regulations. The solution reached was, that an officer should not be regarded as a personality toward whom the salute was directed, but that the military viewpoint which makes the salute homage to the country's uniform and to the things it typifields should be accepted. An exposition of this viewpoint was voiced by Gen. John B. Castleman, a major in the army of the Confederacy, later colonel of a Kentucky National Guard regiment, and a brigadier general of volunteers who saw active service in Poto Rico during the Spanish-American War. He said: "The discipline of the army must be maintained, and non-commissioned officers understand little of the spirit of the army when they refuse to salute a Negro officer. I have held several commissions in the military service and I unhesitatingly say that I would or will, at any time, salute an office, superior or inferior, who salutes me without regard to the color of his skin. The regulations, the laws and discipline upon which these regulations are based prescribe this. It is no time to stand against them. I regret the incident and want to urge every soldier in the full sense of the term. We are at war, and soldiers are under rules of the American army. We are all one under the flag. We salute the rank, not the individual." The incident which brought forth Gen. Castleman's statement occurred here recently. Capt. William Glass, twenty-four years a soldier in the United State Army, recently appointed a commissioner officer and two white non-comissioned officers were the principal figures. Capt. Glass said the men passed him with heads turned without saluting though it was certain they had seen him. He called them back, he said, because he felt that it was his duty to correct their lapse from military regulation. Only one of them returned in answer to Capt. Glass' call This man, a sergeant, in answer to inquiry as to why he had not saluted replied, "I will not salute a Negro," at, the same time expressing doubt that Capt. Glass was what he represented himself to be. Capt. Glass displayed the insignia under his coat and the sergeant again said he would not salute a Negro. He gave his name and organization to Capt. Glass, saying, "You can report me if you wish." The interchange has occupied several minutes and an excited crowd gathered. Capt. Glass apparently desirous of avoiding further unpleasantness, walked quietly away leaving several white officers to explain to the crowd. The sergeant also disappeared in the crowd. No official report of the incident was ever made to the authorities at Camp Zachary Taylor by Capt. Glass, who expressed regret that the incident had attracted the attention of passers bay and for the excitement it caused. Because of the keen interest aroused by the incident and the conflict of opinion which it caused, Gen. Castleman was asked for a statement of his attitude on the subject. The position he assumed exercised great weight, and his opinion apparently soon became that of the majority. At "Ghost Dance" will be staked in the auditorium of the Savannah Home Association, on Thanksgiving night, under auspices of the association. It is a new feature in the dancing world and the patrons will have the pleasure of enjoying one affair brim full of fun from start to finish. The dance has never been seen elsewhere in the city and the novelty of it will attract a large attendance. Arrangements are under way for a pleasant event and it would be advisable to purchase your ticket in advance at the club room of the association. The tickets will be fifteen cents.

The bustle of yesterday was a hidious affair, padded and puffed and stufed with wire or straw, an object of torture, it would seem, to the unin. itiated. The bustle of 1917 is entirely different. It is really back drapery, and is exquisite in the soft materials favored by fashion for this year. “But is it becoming?” you ask. Yes, and again yes. If you are tall and -atraight, perhaps a trifle too slim, it is an added grace, und if you are short and plump, it gives Ingth of line! Sounds like magic, does it not? It doea not cut off the figure, as has so often been feared; it but serves to ac- centuate the good points of the figure —anit corer up the bad ones, BON > di DFR laf y : y \ I 4 ° I If The shirt must be rather short, and narrow, and the hips and front must have no unnecessary fulness of ma- terial, The waist is either fitted or semi-fitted, and if the bustle is on the coat, there need not be. one on the’ skirt. ‘What are Bustles Made of? ' Bustles are made of silks, satins, vel- vets—in fact, anything nice. If the material is of soft and erushes when draped, a slight stiffening is used. On evening dresses, the bustle effect may be given by a bouffant bow of maline or dress net, which is stiff enough of itself to assume the perky lines so chie just now. It is) surprising what 2 transformation can be worked with a ‘bustle sash on the evening dress of last pear, 2+ Linings that Contrast Many of the newest desizus have surprises in the way of linings.» Often the bustle of a dress is lined with a con- trasting satin showing only every now and then, as in the dress illustrated here. No other trimming is used, the lining being repeated for the collar and sometimes the cuffs, The soft pleated Dustle is the most becoming as a rule. "This one is shaped, being longer on the sidos than in the “back, and as usual; the front of the skirt is absolutely plain. Any of the soft materials could be used, and there are many attrac tive color schemes, one of the most ef- fective being black and white. The dress is black satin with white satin for the lining and the collar. \ The Expected Unexpected Speaking of surprises, the news from the Paris houses is full of interesting and unespected details. Now oue hears of parasols and umbrellas ¢ with gun handles, made to simulate the rifle of the French soldier, One expects the hats and other parts of the¢costume to be on martial lines, and so the beret of the French sailor {s not as astonishing as it might be, when one considers the factor of patriotism.

PETERS‘ SUGGESTION OX ODD FELLOWS TROUBLE Please allow ine space in your wide- ly read journal to make a few sug- gestions in regard to a reasonable so- lution of the Odd Fellows’ muddle in the’state of Georzin. I do not, expect these suggestions to be palatable to the hitter partisans on eiher side of this lamented fight, Init I do think they will awaken a re- sponsive chord in the hearts of the great maces of true linkihen who are heartily sick and tired of the crimina- tien ard recrimination, the lawsuits amd injnnetions, the personal abuse and unfraternal bickerings which have de- luged the jurisdiction of Georgia for the last three years. If there is any “one thing that we all must agree om it is the fuct that this fight lias brought nothing buy ce- pression and disaster to the rank“anad file of Odd Fellows in our beloved jus- isdiction, and if it is continued much longer there is no doubt that a mani- ficent asset in money and property which we have built uv in the last ten years will beedissipated into thin air, ¥ We have lost between ten ani fir- teen thousand members In the last threp years and scores af lodges are either ead or in a moribund state. \' The question that presents itself | then. to every rensonable and fairmind- led Odd Fellow is this, Is there not jrett amons us enough of the-spirit of Friendship, Love and Truth to get to- l: ilescence mere am is the spire a2 Prien? tip, Love and ‘Drath 0 cead jgmons Odd Fellows in Georgia that it is impossible to effect a compromise ,Which will be for the greatest zood to the greatest: number? | I appeal to the rank and file of | Linkmen in Georgia, who believe that the forexoing statements are trne, to (soa we Itt précintints wi petition to the : Sub-Committee of Management to re- open the case of the Executive Com- mittee of District Grand Lodge No, 18 Inrisdiction of Georgia.

Giving every member something to do will stimulate his interest. Place an American flag in a conspicuous place in the lodge room. There can be no lasting peace that is not founded on fraternity. It is said that Washington never gave his confidence to any of his generals unless he was a Mason. These are thine that put fraternalism and brotherly love to a supreme test. Square and Compasses believes we should make Masonry more practical and attractive. Masons are always to be found on the firing line in every phase of patriotism. There is in Masonry nothing to occasion the enmity of any person. Opposition to Masonry is entirely due to ignorance. American Masonry will see that the flag stands for the protection of national honor, which is pledged for the protection of its citizens and Masons stand for the protection of the flag. Masonry tends to make men good citizens, and is, therefore, a splendid asset for any community. A fraternity that does not fraternize is a failure from start to finish. A square deal is as broad as it is long. Are unsightly cob-webs in the lodge room symbolic or operative? Do not quit attending your lodge because some brother does not think as you do. Another crop of war-time Masonic stories is coming along. A Mason's wife who refuses to influence her son to become a Mason has a poor Mason for a husband; providing, of course, there are no religious or other scruples against Masonry. The mere conferring of degrees, while important, is not most vital of our labors. Those already members of our lodges should receive as much, if not more, consideration than those who are not. Masonry and morality go hand in hand. Masonry goes hand in hand with patriotism.—Masonle Chronicleer. In every age and in every clime since the principles of our forefathers have assumed definite shape in the formation of our borthhood, the love of brother for brother, the freedom of conscience with actuates and moves us all, owe their existence to the teachings of Masonry. We teach no sreed, we adhere to no special religious tenets, we worship no idols but we adore the Supreme Being, who holds in His keeping the destinies of all, and we be- lieve in a universal brotherhood and the equarity of personal rights. We teach lessons of altruism, charity, benevolence, friendship, and morality, and are moving quietly and silently, but steadfastly, onward, letting the record of deeds and actions speak for cord of our deeds and actions speak for themselves.—London Freemason. A Masonic lodge should not become tainted with the restless spirit of the age, that spirit which regards money and power as the chief good, and material growth as real progress, that spirit which seeks to excel in size rather than substance, and in quantity rather than quality. In Masonry gradual growth is the one tha is safe and sure. It is the only real growth that is possible.—Masonic Journal. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY HAS AUSPICIOUS OPENING Atlanta, Ga., Nov 14—Atlanta University has had a remarkable opening, the enrollment so far is 551, excluding the Oglethorpe Practice school. This represents a greater enrollment than was had all last year. Despite the draft made by the war upon our student body the enrollment and the student activities have constantly gained ground. The university is represented by 21 officers, of which two are captains, thirteen are first lieutenants and eight are second lieutenants, besides Y. M. C. A./workers and two or three in private ranks. A heavy draft was made upon the football team. Nevertheless the team scored, a victory last Saturday in a fierce game against Talladega College which resulted in a score of 12-6 Captain Elder executing a foward pass for touchdown, and Maxwell making a seventy-yard run in the last twenty-seconds of the game for the second touchdown. The next game comes November 17 between Atlanta University and Morehouse College. This will probably be the closest game of the season because Tuskegee scored three touchdowns against one by Morehouse, and three against Atlanta's one touchdown and one safety. So that it looks as if everybody is going to get his money's worth when these two teams clash. Higher education applied to farming at Atlanta University is pretty well demonstrated in a sweet potato crop which yielded one potato weighing 17 pounds, 5 ounces, and several that weighed from 7 to 12 pounds. On December 22nd the alumni of Atlanta University celebrates the birth of the founder of the school, because he was a man who loved real democracy now so much talked about. It is hoped that graduates all over the country will do the same thing. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 17TH, 1917 Mrs. V. B. Roberts HAIR CULTURIST Scientific Scalp Treatment a Specialty Mme.

JOHNSON WINS _ “IN NEW YORK ELECTION ade. Thomas Candidate for Alderman Coal Defeated by Democrat By N. B Yobson New York, N. Y.—.As‘was reported in the Savannah Tribune of Noy. 3, the colored yoters of Harlem, New York City. were making the polltical fight of their lives to elect a member of the race to its Assembly and to the Board &f Aldertnen, so It proved to be a his- tory making epoch for our people. Lawyer Edhward A, Jolson. formerly of Raleizh, N.C. who ran on the Re jublican ticket In its nineteenth as- sembly District was elected by a hand- some majority, defeating his Demo- eratie opponent. , = ‘The Exening Post. of which Oswald «, Villard, grand son of Willlam Lloyd Garrison is editor, in commenting on the fight of the colored voters for ree- egnition says: “Edwaid A. Johnson, Negra. Repub- vicau candidate for Assembly Jn the Nineteenth Assembly District. has been elected ly a plurality of 823 over Mo- Inne. his Democratic rival, The Nine- teenth Assembly District is in| Har- tem, where the Negro vote constitutes 4 large percentage of the total. This is the first time in history that)a Ne gro candidate has been elected to «at- tice. J.,C. Thomas. another Negro. who was the Republican candidate for Alderman in the Twenty-sixth Alder- manic District, was defeated by Mullen. ihe Democratic candidate, by 338 votes. Johnson is a lawyer, and served for several’ years as an Alderman in Ral- eigh, N. C. He was formerly dean of the law department of Shaw University in North Carolina. The successful tight that was made for him, was in a large measure due to John M. Royal, preeldent of the United Civic League of flartem, who ‘did much to line up the Negro ‘vote of the district. “Ins a statement issued la8t night. when it became apparent that he weuld he elected, Johnson said: “*f shall do my best to serve all of the people of the district witbout re- zara to race or creed. ‘The white poo- ple cf one district will find me reanv to give them just as careful attention ag those of my own race, and it is ny purpose to push legislation looking t+ the etablishment of playgrounds ter the children and for such other pro gressive ideas as may present them- selves.’” * OLVIC, IMPROVEMENT ASSO.

The result of its inyestigation shows that juorg than 204,000 of our people from Virgints alone have migrated to the north gnd west since the first of Jan- uury aud that a total of $50,000 colored people have lett the various Southern states within the last eighteen mouths. Upon further investigation the asso- viation Guds that a large number of the.men left comfortable homes, fam- illes and farms without providing for thelr maintenance or cultivation and that their wives and children are with- ont proper attention. The farm left by many of thexe men‘are nut cultivated ut all and that“by reason of such is a shortage of corb..wheat, cotton and to- baceo, It iN easy, to see. therefore, that this fact alone $s one of the causes of the high prides asked for thee ne- cossities. . The next step the association took was to inquire into thy labur situation with respect to the colored people north ane south. It war found that consid- ering the conditions under which our people have to work they can realize money from their labors home than they can in the north or west at the pres- ent time and for many years to come. "The war has created a situation which minkes farming an occupation of first importance. Farm produce have advanced in price three to five hundred per cnt, which enables the farmer to pay high waxes, making it possible for the farm hends to receive as high wages as the ordinary lahor in the north, while at the game time, the -costsof Hving in the north is double that In the south it ix-a knownefact that a man ean lire cheaper home than abroad.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. | Memory Verses, 22, 23—Golden Toxt, Ps. xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our last lesson ended with a refer- ence to the epistle of Nebuchadnezzar (chapter iv), in which, after his seven Sears insanity, “whe acknowledged the True God and humbled himself before im. In chapter v we see a proud, re- bellious king, who would not hunble himself before God, and he had to be takenoff theearth, We cannot but think of the sad ending of the rich man of Luke xvip 23; xii, 20. In this book there is Wonderfully shown up the great contrast between the wisdom of this werld and the wisdom that comes from God only. In the first aed sec- ond dreams of Nebuchadnezzar and tn the matter af the writing on the wall at Belshuzzar's feast all the learning and wisdom of Babylon were utters helpless to understand or interpret el- ‘ther. But the God of Heaven, .the | Most High God, whose alone are wis- dom and might. who only edn reveat 'seerets and make known what shall ‘come to pss hereafter, He could and ‘did teil Daniel what the king dreamed rand the anterpretation of it and the | siguilicance uf the words on the wall. | Phe learniag and scholarship of ‘there ays in Which we live are just a¢ Leiploss to i erpret the things of God ay were the wise men of Eabylon, for the things of God knoweth no man, but nly the Spirit of God (chapters il, $v and v and 1 Cor. il, 11). ‘There is another matter we! should lay to heart in these last days at the end of the Gime of the xentiles, and that ts that “the Lord of hosts hath purposed it, tu stain the pide of all glory and to bring inty coulempt all the honor- able of the ezrfl.” for “the Jofty looks of man shall ie Limabled and the haughtines$ of men shall be bowed own, and the Lurd alone shall be ex- etted in that day" (Isa, xxlll, 9: th 19.

Knowing that he worshiped and prayed to a God whom they knew not, they approached Darius, the king, with n bit of flattery, asking him to sign a decree that any one asking a petition of any god or man except himself should be cast into the den of lions (verses 4-0). They sct the time ifmit at thirty days, but probably knew that a much shorter time would be sntlicient to eateh their prey. Darius thoughtlessly fe into the snare and signed the decree, Daniel, khuwing all about it, kept right on commnning with his God in the usual way aml did not think it worth while to close his windows, Of conrse he was soon caught, for his enemies meant business, and, although the king, when he found how he had been entrapped, lavered titl the going own of the sun to deliver Dantel, bis love was power- less against the law, which had to take ita dburse, und soon Daniel is in the den of lions, and the stone upon the mouth of the den Is sealed with the king's own signet. It may have been that Daniel's enemics made merry over. their success in getting him out of the way; but, if so, they were an illustra: tion of Job xx, 5, “The triumphing of the wicked is short.” ‘The king, who sought to comfort Daniel with the assurance, “Thy God whom thou servest continually, He will deliver thee” (verse 16), passed a sleepicas night, fasting, and very early in the morning was at the den of Hons, | erying with a lamentable voice, “Ob, | Daniel, serrant of the Living God, {s thy God, whom thou servest continual- Iy, able to deliver thee from the lions?” (Verse 20.) What a burden must have rolled from. the king's heart when he heard the voice of Dantel assuring him that Ged had shut the Ions’ mouths and they had not hurt him! Quickly Daalel is‘taken from the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God (verses 22, 23). It was truly a good morning for Dantel, reminding us of the morn ing that will soon duwn for all the people of God (Ps. xlvi, 5, margin; xlix, 14).

Savannah, and bus dared to defy any “injustice upon his race. I shall not refer to any further ,pre- lminaries, but shall refer directly to Joseph €. Lindsay, the“intrepid and sagacious ‘espouser of the cause of his Tace. In the going of Mr. Lindsay from Sayannah to Atlanta, removes from this community, one of its leading citizens, and makes vacant a place that, the community will have to de- velop aman to fill He has assiduously stu(jed_ the iuterest of our race, and preached the gospel of Negro: uplife, and perfection in business, for lo; these tmany years, for which I feel that we owe him a debt of gratitude, which we shall’ never be able to pay; therefore ave congratulate the Atlanta Mutual In- surance Company, as well as the pres- ident and, his cabinet, for their wise sete of choice in electing Sir. Lindsay "aS general manager of this great busi- lwss enterprise, for they, too, have dene Themselves honor and thereby shown thut they are great judges of leadership. I feel that I voice the} sentiment of the people of this com- amunity when Tsay that Mr. Lindsay carries with him the confidence, se spect and best wishes for his contin; net success in the management of the’ hiscer affairs of which he has taken hold. His removal was so sudden that it shocked the community almost like that of death, and so profound | is my regret to* sever iny-association | Trom his strong personality and com-{ bantowShipt that the only conciliation 1 xet out of it is that he has been pro- motel and elevated to higher things of life. Let others strive to emulate the great examples set forth by him, | As I sean the avenues of present} opportunities already presented tothe] Negro in this country, and of otbers Stich are gradually opening up from time to time. Iam mere and more |! cenvinced that providence’holds in| Store bright possibilities for a strag- gli race whose history only dates i back. for a little more than half af! éentaury, and yet this child race, whieh | hay not had time to develop into the uscfniness of its streneth, has not done as the Indian. become satisfied to be} scourgodt i a corner within their reach, Lat us keep our faces turned hopefully toward the rising sun, and}; holieve in the possibilities of Goi, as well as: In ourselves, and reach the} everlasting determination that like “He who thinks can't, cant; he who thinks can, can.” No man has ever Sneceeded against his own will and}: dolermination, i. There is an old story which is told of a young man who became fascinat- }) ed over 2 girl, who later decided to |: nuerv him with the consent and ap [7 proval of her father, who was a pros |’ perous farmer. The young man ap-|' plied to thefather in an effort ~ to riin his consent for the marriage of his daughter, The father remteid, | after listening ‘to te young man’s request, “IK will have to carry yout. thru a certain test so as to ascertain your tact and skillfulness.” ‘The test |: was, he took the young man down to]: his cow lot and said te him, “Johnnie, 1 ron stand here at this gate, T am g0- | which I have locked up;-they will rur right thru this gate, and if you catch any one of them by the tail, I will give you, my’ daughter” _ The fgreentetit was on, and, when the father turned the V first “hig? arid fnettgn through thd Ante, aie edrcled to grab at him, saying to himself, “Any one will do, I'll catch the next one.” So when the second one was turned loose an¢ ran,thru the gate, Johnnfe still“refused to grab. this one; repeating his “fornier. Sfatement “Any one will do, 1’! catch the next one.” " So when the third sickly looking calf came, John. inie- grabbed for his tail as he passed, but behold, he whs 0 hob-tatk, calf, Whore tail was not as long a& the ridg es onadime. Hence, Johnnie missed his opportunity and thereby missed the girl. . e So many opportunities of parent and similar nature are missed by men “md women of our race. who fail to seize the first opportunity. In con- clusion, let me admonish that we seize the first opportunity in life, for oppor- tunity is like the waters running down Stream, will never again return. Hence, the mill cannot grind with wa- ters that have passed. J.C. Lindsay seized the first oppor- tunity ‘in Ife by making, good in Ala- bama, in Georgia, and edpecially Sav- nah, which only proved to be stepping stones to higher and nobler things, which he has at his command.
