The ATTORNEY J. G. LEMON SENT FROM SAVANNAH Reports of Discrimination in France Creats Surprise New York, Dec. 31.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its seventh annual mid-winter conference here on December 28, 29, 30 and 31 and this meeting probably proved to be the most interesting and significant session of that excellent organization. The general theme of the meeting was taken from the important topic "The Negro in War Time" and the varied line of topics growing out of this subject and the many phases of Negro life collateral to it provided some very interesting subject matter for discussion and determination by the many prominent delegates that came to the meeting from all sections of the United States. A review of the work of the year, work directly attributable to the National body, included the ruling by the United States Supreme Court against housing segregation ordinances, affecting notably, Louisiana, Baltimore, St. Louis and Atlanta, and other southern centers. It was felt that this decision was the most far-reaching piece of legislation favorable to colored people since the war, and that if would put to end the series of disturbances and attacks which have been so frequent from this source. The association had also investigated the Chester and East St. Louis riots and other cases of race friction in the south and many cases of lynching and discrimination. The National Association favors the loyalty of American Negroes to the arms of the nation in this war and laid plans for securing fair and just treatment of Negro enlisted men and drafted men in all branches of the service. The report of the Savannah Branch was made by Attorney J. G. Lemon, its secretary, and this report provoked great enthusiasm in the meeting because of the great amount of good work which the local branch has been doing. Among other things Mr. Lemon told the conference, in detail, of the fight which the local branch had made in the Youngblood case and in the tenderloin segregation case. The conference was very much pleased at the account of the intelligent manner in which these fights had been made. Representatives from other districts were glad to know that the local organization was representative of the most prominent and intelligent citizens of this community. The surprise of the conference was reached when delegates produced evidence of attempts of southern soldiers to carry prejudice and discrimination among the people of France. Sharp debates ensured on this point and for a time the delegates were in a state of excitement. The conference finally appointed a committee to investigate the many fragments of evidence and to report to the Executive Council a plan of bringing this matter to the attention of the national government's war council and also to the attention of French officials, with a view of destroying this unfortunate propaganda in its incipency. Moorefield Storey, president of the of the organization and the lawyer to whom credit for winning the segregation case before the United States Supreme court goes, and Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, were among those who addressed the conference and attended its sessions. One of the greatest speeches of the sessions was delivered by Rabbi Stephen L. Wise, said to be one of the most eloquent men in America. He compared the treatment of the American Negro to that of the Jew in Russia. He felt that the war would be won for real democracy the worldier. The sessions closed with a great mass meeting Sunday, Dec. 8, at Palace Carino, attended by thousands of people and addresses by leading men, white and colred, including Col. Chas. Young, W. Ashbie Hawkins, Dr. Chas. Gullen and W. E. B. DuBots. We must not be extravagant with sugar in making cakes. Housewives can still make cakes and be patriotic to the right kind of receipts are used. GEN. FRED M. COHEN PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY Was Taken Ill During Early Sunday Morning and Died Within an Hour Genl. Fred M. Cohen, secretary and treasurer of the endowment department of the Knights of Pythias of this state, died very suddenly early Sunday morning from an attack of heart trouble. His death was a shock to the entire community for he was apparently hale and hearty the night before he passed away, having just returned that morning from Macon where he went on official business in connection with its office. Saturday night he retired about the usual hour and seemingly in good health. About 4 o'clock Sunday morning he was taken with a severe coughing spell and died in about an hour's time before medical aid could be had. Genl. Cohen was one of the most widely known fraternal men of this state. Beside holding the position of secretary-treasurer of the endowment department connected with the Knights, he was prominently connected with the Masons and other organizations. He was born in Wilmington, Del., and was 54 years of age. When a very young man he came to Savannah and has resided here ever since. He was by profession a brick mason and worked at his trade many years in this city. A man of unquestioned integrity and honesty he was often referred to as "Honest Fred." His funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the First Congregational church of which he was a prominent member and at one time superintendent of the Sunday school. The Funeral services were attended by a large concourse of people. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev Wm. L. Cash. Many prominent out-town fraternal men were in attendance several of them taking part in the services. Grand Chancellor G. R. Hutto acted as master of ceremonies. The funeral was attended by the several local uniformed companies of the Knights, Crescent Lodge Knights; Pythagoras Lodge, Masons and the brick layers union and Opal Court. Burial services were conducted by the Knights, Bricklayers, Union, Courts and Masons. The floral designs were among the most numerous and beautiful ever seen here. Despite the bitter cold weather a very large crowd was present at the cemetery. Gen. Cohen is survived by a wife, Mrs. M. M. Cohen; a son Meritt Cohen, and a foster brother, William Elmore. Among the prominent out-of-town fraternal men who came here to attend the funeral were. Grand Chancellor G. R. Hutto of Balmbridge; Past Grand Chancellor, G. N.

PROTECTIVE ASS'N CONCERT ATTRACES ABOUT 700 PERSONS The concert given Friday night of last week at the Munidelpal Auditorium by the Negro Protective Association was attended by about 700 persons of whom about four hundred were whites who occupied the boxes and dress circle, the Negroes being compelled to accept orchestra or gallery seats. The singing of Miss Marle Anderson of Philadelphia, Pa., the vocalist of the evening, and Prof. Carl Diton, pianist, were especially charming. Miss Anderson's numbers were all roundly applauded. She has the most melodious and richest contratto voice heard here in many years. Its range is little short of wonderful and the ease with which she made her most difficult notes was indeed charming. It was truly a treat sublime to hear her. What a pity that a large crowd of Negroes could not have heard her exquisite voice, but the Jim-Crow seating arrangement of the Negroes managing the affair made this impossible for the self-respecting Negroes of the city. Prof. Difton's numbers were excellent and showed that he is master of the piano. Not only were his selections well rendered but his accompanying of Miss Anderson was delightful. The Cuyler street school chorus of about 40 voices was good and received a generous hand. The Ga. State College glee club rendered several numbers among which was Old Black Joe, which was sung and acted in real "nigger" fashion. EUREKA CLUB HOIDS EXCELLENT EXERCISES The emancipation exercises held at the rooms of the Eureka Aid & Athletic club on the afternoon of January 1st, were a success from start to finish. The program was one of the best that the club has had since the inauguration of these very appropriate exercises. The exercises were well attended, the club was packed to its capacity, and more ton as it was necessary to turn some of the late comers back. The principal address was by Rev. W. G. Alexander, presiding elder of the West Savannah district of the A. M. E. church, who held the audience spell bound for nearly one hour. The Rev. Alexander is known far and near as one of the leading Negro orators of the country, and his address delivered on this occasion was a masterpiece. He gave the people a talk that will do them much good and his address in full will ultimately be published. Mr. H. T. Singleton made an address on "Club Life" which was much enjoyed. His address was a creditable one, and with some of Mr. Singleton's wit, was very pleasing. Mr. R A. Harper's address on "Business" was very good. He gave the audience a very interesting talk, which was inspiring and pleasing. The solos and duettes rendered by Miss Nettle A. Houston and Mr. Paul Drays and Misses Meta Galloway and Ross Collins, respectively, together with the instrumental solos by Miss Willie Mae Ayers and Mrs. Lilla Dewey Graham, were very appropriate. These are well known local artists and their renditions are always pleasing. The recitation by Mrs. Ada Scott Dunbar was very good. Mrs. Dunbar is well known as an elocutionists and her effort on this occasion was excellent. The Pilgrim quartette rendered several selections which were much enBlack and Tan orchestra and Mr. Jos. J Brown acted as master of ceremonies. Rev. B. J. Ross of this city has been reappointed presiding elder of the Blackshear district. He made an excellent report of his work during the past year, and expects to surpass it this year. He is holding a quarterly conference at Ludiwlic beginning yesterday.

Miss Dorothy Williams, a public school teacher, read an excellent paper. Just before the exercises were concluded Col. A. R. Lawton made and appeal in behalf of the Red Cross work. He was followed by Mra R. S. Taylor, chairman of the Negro branch of the society, who also spoke DICK JEFERSON STILL ALIVE Mr. Richard (Dick) Jefferson, formerly of this city, but now a cook on the Pennsylvania railroad, wishes his friends to know that the report of his being good is false. He is now living at 125 237th street, New York City. JOHN MOORE PASSES AWAY Mr. John Moore died early yesterday morning at his residence 513 Waldburg street, west.

On last Saturday he was taken seriously ill again and remained in a critical condition until the end came on Friday morning. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Daisy Moore; a mother, Mrs. Elliza Moore; a brother, Mr. Willie Moore and other relatives. APPROPOS SUGGESTIONS NEW YEAR RESOLUTION Begun for the Patriotic Woman Everywhere New York, Dec. 29.—A few weeks ago there was a big meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria. Interesting talks on the subject of conservation of material and discussion as to ways and means were in order, and the throng of men and women, manufacturers, vending and retail clothing firms, and newspaper people found much food in thought. The spring will certainly show the results of this meeting in the category of material used. So, you will the newest Allies of the boys at the great, are in reality their oldest Allies, the girls they left behind them. Now is the shortage of coal going to affect us here in the United States in regard to clothes. We cannot long of parody, "Now is the winter of our discentent made glorious summer by— MOEADS. The Artistry of the Bustle braces and radiators" We have to look to our clothes, our indoor clothes so hat, to keep us warm, if we are so fortunate as to lack fuel. The ladies, met this problem with the fresh use of fur, but in this our day of thoughtful patriotism we are turning to woolen materials, carefully used. The long sleeves of satin, or sheeren cotton and children have given place to cuffs, broadcloth, or satin interlined. We wear high collars, to be sure, and the tails, one of Fashion's favorites this year, in surely but added warmth. Critics we truly say that this is the O MCAILL 61 The Breadcloth and Golden Brown Satin of thoughtful beauty, carefully minded! The Bustle Triumphant Wa a fashion that has swept away all disparagement—the bustle effect on smart frocks. Sometimes, as in the model illustrated here, the bustle is a mere camouflage, a soft puff of material, but accentuating the slender figure. The dress is very simple; indeed, the buttons on the tight sleeves and on the waist are the only trimming used if one does not count the fetching little ribbon that acts as a girdle. Made in either silk, satin or woolen goods, the effect is charming if one color is used for the entire costume; though a contrasting or lighter shade could be used very well on the collar and to line the bustle, and face back the sleeves. The skirt is narrow, as all good bustle skirts are, being only a yard and three-quarters at the lower edge. Straight from India There is a wonderfully interesting play in town which tells some of the stories of the Arabian Nights in the most bewitchingly colorful way. To it may be traced much of the season's love for oriental effects, materials and designs. There are qualit skating sets to be worn by saucy damsels, essentially 1918, copied from the head-dresses of China, with the beloved yellow and blue, orange and green, cleverly introduced in embroidered ends and tabs on the cap. Of course, there are evening wraps heavy with embroideries of weird and interesting design, and on a vest here and a frock there, one sees the influence of the Far East. To be sure, jewelry, in heavy antique-appearing settings, are worn to complete the picture, and there are hints of coolie hats and paracels for summer wear. New Year Resolutions Now that Christmas shopping is over, and we can all calmly down and pick up the traveled ends of our plans, let us not some ardour thought into one New Year resolutions. This year, of all others we must plan far ahead. Have a review of your wardrobe. Get everything out and sort them into three piles: one of those things that will do they are; another for things good enough to be made or made and the third pile for things which you cannot use, but which some one else may find a use for. This year let nothing be wasted. Don't not enjoy things that you may want some don't. Do what you have on hand before buying new materials unthoughtfully but when you do buy, buy the very best quality and the most becoming and lasting color. for this you can help. For Rest or Every Day If there is ever designed a costume suitable for best and every day, the hope and sincere wish of so many women, it will surely be on this order. Combinations of materials and colors, in this case two broadcloth and brown satin were used are particularly good. The illustration shows the effect of the contrast and also presents that in marble colors black and white, the dress would be equally stunning. TO FEATURE CONFERENCE the Necess of the War Situation" will be the topic for discussion at the annual Thickness Micro Conference which convened at Thickness Institute Wednesday and Thursday January 16th and 17th 1919. In the first day's session emphases will be given to the problem of food and farming which have become especially important and current since this country has entered the war. The Annual Workers Conference will be held on Thursday January 17th and the special lecture which will be considered are: "What is being done in spite of the war conditions to increase the facilities for rural education:" "What the schools for higher and secondary education are doing to help improve the rural schools." and "What is being done by the rural schools to help improve the rural community life" along such lines as helping to promote better farming, improve the home, help the church conserve health and direct the social life of the community. This session of "workers" will bring together teachers, ministers and others who are engaged in some form of definite work for the improvement of the masses of the Negro people. A number of state superintendents of education, and other persons prominent in the educational work for the colored people have been invited to appear on the program. The acceptances already received, and the general interest manifested in the subjects for discussion indicate that the twenty-seventh annual conference will be largely attended, and very successful meetings held. In addition to the regular program there will be a number of interesting exhibits arranged by the various departments at the Institute. Among these, will be an exhibit showing various war substitutes for food which is being arranged by Prof George W. Carver, director of Tuskegee experiment station. For information recording the conference, write R. R. Moton, principal, Tuskegee Inst., Alz. How about your garbage can? A recent investigation as to the waste of food—as shown by the contents of the garbage can in various cities—indicate that there has been a decided decrease in the waste of food stuffs. The garbage collector of Washington, D. C., finds so little garbage to be collected that he has refused to enter into a contract with the city, giving as a reason therefor that there is so little garbage collected and his terms of selling it are so small, that he is compelled to charge more for collecting the garbage.

Negroes in the United States own approximately twenty million acres of land, or an area equalling the combined territory of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as other property valued at $1,000,000,000, according to Moorfield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who addressed a conference of the association here to night. The war has given the Negro opportunity to fight for his country, he continued, and the conduct of the black man on the battle field will prove of great benefit to the race. "The country needs all her men, highest, humbleest, weakest and of all races and color," the speaker declared. "There are some who thought that black and white should serve indiscriminately in the same companies, but I have never shared that view. The man who is fighting wishes to be sure that the men at his side and behind him are his true comrades and believe in him without reserve." In referring to "moh outrages." of the year, in Waco. East St. Louis.

Among The Masons We have been having some office revies lately and think we shall pass along a few. In the vineyard of Freemasonry is one little garden spot, wherein are cultivated and nurtured the most beautiful flower, the choicest blossom of humanity, over which floats a banner bearing the inscription of O. E. S. Into all lives there comes influences apart from home and family interests which developing hopes and inspirations, tend in fulfillment, thereof to fest the character and mould the career and determine the destiny. Such an influence is the Order of Eastern Star The Order of Eastern Star is a sublime structure. To the towers, arches and omes so necessary to the beauty and elegance of the building, I would compare the officers. To the stones so necessary to structure, I would liken our members. Some of them never hold an office, never aspire to shine as leaders, but in a quiet unassuming way exemplify doing good and being kind. It is pathetic to note the selfish ambition to rule, to be monarch of all we survey, to utterly disregard rules and regulations. Our Trust In this materialistic age, when old things are passing away, and the transition period tends to laxity and unbelief, it is refreshing to know that the Mason's trust is still in God—the great Jehovah of our fathers—the Supreme Architect of the Universe. As the ages come and go—as creeds are made and unmade—our faith remains unshaken and our hope is not dimmed. The Mara's God is not a mere abjuration—is not some far-off, mysterious being—but is "our Father," who is very near to us in time of trouble as well as in days of joy, and who will not forsake us nor forget us. Surely such a faith is better than riches, better than fame, better than power. It is our tower of defense, our rock of refuge. Masons may declare in very truth, "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." Today Masonry stands in all the splendor of an acknowledged monarch, whose sway is world-wide, and whose law is love; whose bond is the magnetic chain of clasped hands that encircles the earth, and whose points of order are those holy "five points" that touch every obligation of man to man and man to God, while the heraldy that reblasons the Masonic crest points us to the mysterious light that beams over the Mercy Seat in the Temple of God. MISS PRETTYPEACH AND THE WILLIBOYS Our Masonic obligations should always be fulfilled to the letter. Let us not weary in well doing when our brethren need our services. Georgia Masonry is harmonious and prosperous. So may it ever be. Life is brief. Let us fill the measure of our days with usefulness. A loyal Mason will never bring disgrace upon Masonry by any act of his. Attendance at funerals should be a sacred duty to every loyal Mason. It is the last tribute we pay to our deceased brother.—Herald. Masonic friendship is founded upon brotherly love. If it is so founded, misfortune and disaster cannot weaken nor destroy it. It is concreted. vid and Jonathan. When the crucial test comes it is not found wanting. When brother is in want or distress, then it empties itself in helpfulness. How pitilable is the condition of that Mason who lies down when his brother is set upon by his enemies. Love is not only the strongest and best hing on earth, but it is the only emotion that prevails in heaven.—Masonic Home Journal. a a a The spiritual and moral upbuilding of the community is as necessary to its material welfare as its financial and industrial progress.

ECHOES FROM EMANCIPATION EXERCISES Tuesday, January 1st, 1918, will never be remembered. Never is the history of the writer's life have we witnessed such an appreciation of our natal day. The parade was one of credit to the race. The patriotism shown by the Social Clubs' Union and their co-workers is worthy of emulation. This noteworthy parade culminated at the Municipal Auditorium where one of Savannah's own son, in the person of Edward Burke as master of ceremonies very fittingly told us the purpose of the meeting. Miss Dorothy williams one of our rising teachers represented the women in an excellent paper, well rendered. Th emancipation address by Prof. L. B. Thompson of Ga. State College, was a masterly one filled to over-flow with choice food for thought. Much information was given by him as to the progress of the ten million Negroes of the United States. music rendered by them. Col. A. R. Lawton our friend and coworker brought before the audience the war conditions and the part we are to play in it which received a very enthusiastic response from the many assembled. From the auditorium we went to the spacious rooms of the Eureka Ald & Athletic Association. They, as their name implies "Have found it." Here again we feasted upon intellectual food. Miss N. A. Houston rendered in her pleasing manner a beautiful solo. A well rendered duette and a bass solo by Mr. Paul Davis were heard. Mrs Ada Scott Dunbar recited "How the Sons of Ham·Fought for Uncle Sam." One could indeed see the men of color pleading for what was their's by right. Rev Alexander in his majestic manner delivered an address excelled by none ever heard. He counseled us to qualify ourselves as the caucasion race has. At night we reached the climax of the exercises. The emancipation prayer by Rev. R. V. Branch lifted us from the transitory things of this world to the realms of joy. Oh! that the realization of that prayer could be had here on these inundane shores. Miss Esther Snowden rendered a pleasing poem fitting the occasion. Then comes the acme of the whole day's exercises in the masterly and forceful sermon delivered by the Rev. N. M. Clarke of Beth Eden Baptist church. His text, Exodus 10:26 "There shall not a hoof be lifted behind", subject "No Compromise." He very fittingly showed the audience that the Israelites, the whole world and even the Negroes received their emancipation by the shedding of blood. He urged the church and the leaders to make no compromise. For strength, power and inspiration this sermon could not be surpassed. Each minister present voiced the sentiment that in this new year they would band themselves together as never before to lift the standard of the Christian religion and to make no compromise that would impede the advancement of Christ's kongdom here in Savannah. They would allow no denominationational creeds and dogmas to prevent the getting together of the poole for their earthly as well as spiritual betterment. Never before have we appreciated the progressive spirit which eminates the personality of Rev. T. J. Goodall, master of ceremonies. In his remarks, he exhorted the min- must substitute something better. The ministers heartily endorsed the Urban League in as much as the Urban League has assured them that are willing and anxious to live" on the side of the church in a co-operative spirit. The minsiters especially were urged to make the coming musical a success because of the fact that the out of town participants hailed from the great Morehouse College. The ministers at large were urged to support the entertainment because of racial pride. Iev. P. W. Wrenn spoke on the cause of war. He impressed it upon his audience that sin was the cause of the war in high places as well as in low. A thought was suggested that each church in this city hold a revival at the same time. The thought comes to me, why not Savannah have a joint religious awakening at one central place as has been done in Atlanta and other places. If it is true, and I believe it is, that on the day of Penticost many thousands were brought to Christ and if it is possible for Billy Sunday to strike terror to the hearts of so many out of Christ; what is the matter with our Savannah ministry and our Savannah people at large that we lie here groweling in sin; our children going to perdition before our very eyes and not one hand be lifted to stay the tide; our future generation spoiled in its infancy and our hope for all time blasted. Pause, ye Christian, put on the armour of your God. Is God dead? Will he help less now, than in the past? Let us learn how to live then we will be prepared to die. A. B.

There is no rhetorical expression, beautiful or strong or glowing enough, to adequately compliment and congratulate our citizens for their manly and self-respecting condemnation of such an offensive and unnatural and illogical thing. There is no dictum and no curse, sufficiently harsh and severe, which we could heap upon the guilty parties. The hope of Negro men and women, the prayer of our fathers gone before us, and the goal of all the striving of our children,—the yearning of every Negro in America,—is for liberty and freedom and fair play. All these were at stake in this thing. Hhow shocking, then, and how discouraging and how disconcerting and upsetting of all our ideals, was this untimely reproach upon the race! It is almost inconceivable that in this day of unrest, when Negro people have their best chance to win some position of respect in the world, when the world and all the nations in it are struggling in fire and blood to set up the inevitable shrine of liberty and democracy, and when Negro men, courageously, determinedly and at great sacrifice are fighting in the commercial and civic and political fields and on the battle fields of the nation, to win their due "place in the sun" of civilization and before the world of men and institutions,—we repeat it is inconceivable that any Negro man should be so lacking in love of race, in the principles of law and right and common decency, so devoid of the future safety in American life of his children and of his children's children, as to raise higher the barriers of discrimination, intensify the brutal passions of race hate, feed fuel to the fires of race contempt, and make faster the bonds of slavery, for our people in this land. God save us from ourselves! Lest the Judases and Benedict Arnolds from our own ranks, from within our own councils and out of our own booms, shall sell our birthright, traffic our souls away and trade off, even, the hope of our children, in being and unborn, in the market places of race prejudice and race hate! "God save us, yet, lest we forget!" A concert is given,—a public concert in a public building,—by Negroes, for the benefit and enlightenment and entertainment of Negroes, at which the performers were Negroes—it was a Negro affair—and yet the promoters of it, published it abroad, that the best seats, every one of them, would be reserved for white people. Not content with this, however, and so bert and so determined were they upon this petty, sycophantic and despicable bid for white patronage, that there human beings actually withrew from prominent Negro men, tickets which they had previously sold to them, as it were, with strings tied to them. A prominent doctor, well able to do so, by right and desire, had purchased a box, but when it was found that this same box was desired for white persons, the doctor was held up and actually coerced, under threat of having him put out of his position, into turning the tickets and having his money returned. Another prominent citizen (white) who was appealed to to purchase box tickets, referred the Jim-Crow promoters to his head employee (colored); but this employee was told that the boxes could not be occupied by his wife and children and their guests but were reserved exclusively for white people. In the mean time in a conversation between employer and employee, in question, the white man reminded his employee that he was "in a hell of a fix," for he could not have a box seat at a white affair or at a "nigger" affair as he termed it. Be it remembered, readers, that the white citizens of Savannah, were not scrambling and falling over each other, in line, to get these box tickets, but they were besought and prevailed upon by letter, by telephone and other form of appeal, to support and attend this concert, for the benefit of an institution whose efficacy is at least in question and whose de jure existence is seriously in doubt. White patrons of the concert came more largely as a matter of charity and believing they were helping a worthy cause. It must have struck the white people present, that very few Negroes were present at the concert. Let it be said to their credit that the colored people of this community, with befitting self-respect and self-reverence, showed their resentment and contempt for the principle which this unfortunate occasion sought to establish, by straying away. As a people, we have passed that station in the advancement and rise of the race, where we may be "whipped into line" on purely voluntary matters at least. We have arrived at the place where we insist upon fair and decent consideration for those who seek our money and our services. Least of all will we tolerate oppression and insult and the suggestion that we are undeserving and undesirable from our own fellows, and from those who would set themselves up, without warrant and right, as our leaders. The day is dawning, in fact, is already here, when colored men have got to take a stand on great moral issues of manhood and citizenship prerogative—sensibly and respectfully, to be sure, but courageously and clearly, nevertheless. Our most unfriendly acquaintances will not gainsay us this privilege. We plead for fair play, respectful consideration for our services and our pay, and for the ordinary rights of a free citizenship. We ask for nothing more; we shall be content with nothing less. Time is when every colored man should feel his due responsibility for upholding these tenets and principles. This is no sedition or inflammatory propaganda, but is simple insistence upon the square deal. Every man in this community should rise and "put his foot on" this damnable and retrogressive thing. It is an outrage. We congratulate the Negro citizens who did not attend; many wished to but could not consistently do so. The principles of fair play and simple justice are eternal as the heavens, and we do not fear to risk our fate with the abiding and enduring sense of justice of the American conscience, if only we may feel our individual responsibility to crush out the grovelling grubs and spies in our own ranks, and uphold in mass those men among us who take an uncompromising stand against truckling for a despicable patronage which at best is the price of our continued persecution and enslavement. NIGHT RJDERS AND FARM WORK We have been reading, for lo these many months, of the urgent appeals of the government for intensive farming so that there might be a greater amount of food stuffs and other farm products to supply the nation and her allies, and of how anxious the authorities are that every man engaged in agricultural pursuits should lend his every effort to the task before him and help win the world war we are engaged in. We wonder how the agricultural situation in Brooks county looks to them now that night riders have begun a reign of terror among the Negro farm tenants of that community and have already frightened away hundreds of black farm hands! That the Negro farm hands are absolutely necessary to the farmers of this county and almost every other community of the south in order that they may "do their bit" in helping to win the war there can be no successful retaliation. To the south the country looks for a great portion of the farm products which are essential to its armies in their conflict against their Teutonic enemies, and as the Negro is the almost sole dependence of this section in raising its produce it seems that the powers at Washington would see in the depredations of the night riders a very misleast stumbling block in the way of necessary provisions for the country's fighting forces and would make some effort to stay the THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY JANUARY 5. 1918 hand of these midnight maranders. The Negro farm hand is willing, yea anxiohs to do "his bit", but must have reasonable protection from bodily harm, if he is expected to remain in the rural communities and serve his country to the best advantage. All he wants is fair play and that safety from bodily injury which every human being desires. He must get this or he is going to leave the farm in far greater numbers than ever. The depredations of night riders and others, who molest, discourage and threaten and oftimes murder innocent Negroes simply because they are Negroes and wish the community to be rid of them or to cow them, can be stopped and stopped effectively if only the authorities will make an example of a few of the wanton white murderers. The time for temporizing with such culprits as those who last week caused terror among the peaceful farm workers of Brooks county should be past, if for no other reason than that the country's whole strength is needed in the present crisis with every man doing his whole bit. The Negro is willing, ready and anxious to do his part if only protection and fairness is granted him in his work. THE EMANCIPATION PARADE The Emancipation day celebration Tuesday was in every respect the grandest spectacle of the kind held here since the last first of January observance in which the Negro state militia took part some thirteen years ago, and the reason for its great success lay in the fact that every element taking part in the celebration was in perfect accord and harmony. The management of the affair was nigh' unto perfect and was vested in the Social Clubs' Union. When this organization took hold of the celebration early last month it sought not only to bring every element into hearty accord with the view of those who had been chosen but wine out all semblance of littleness so often in the post had made this annual celebration a farce or a rank failure. How well those who had Tuesday's celebration in charge succeeded was evidenced by the two thousand odd men and women who took part in the rousing parade and the exercises at the city auditorium. The grand display showed what can be done by our people when they are united and all working for a common good. There was in this excellent celebration a remarkable degree of absonce of that element of selfishness which in many previous observances of this important date in the history of our people has been very evident. It was, in every respect a true and worthy commemoration of the issuance of the immortal document of President Lincoln which broke asunder shackles that held our forefathers in slavery. How different was the management from that of some other years when the speaker was given compensation for his part on the program and one year in particular when the executive board being in charge of the celebration voted to appropriate unto themselves the surplus money in the treasury which the people had given in free will contributions at the exercises, and every member of that board save two was remunerated for the services which they had rendered. The observance held on Tuesday was just simply grand and it is hoped that the young men who managed the affair will continue to do so in the future. DEDICATED TO FRED COHEN The following poem was read at the funeral services of Mr. F. M. Cohen by Rev. S. G. Baker, representative of the Grand Lodge of Florida at the funeral: Sleep on. Fredide, take thy rest; May thou be forever blest, Safe in Jesus' loving arms. Where the foe can never harm. Thou was once a gallant Knight. Ready for the cause to fight; To thy duty thou didst stan, And defend our brave band. But. Alas! thou art no more, Thou hast gone to your bright shore, Where the scints immortal dwell With Him who doth all things well Long and peaceful he thy rest, Leen thou on the Saviour's breast. Thou no more shalt taste a sight. Sleep on, Freddle, now, good-bye.

We would not wish thee from heaven to come. For in heaven thou hast an eternal home. When on the river's brink, Rosa, Thou didst tell us all good-bye. We know that Jesus, thine elder brother, Had carried thee on high. No more thy footsteps we shall hear, No more thy form shall see; But God in His word does declare, We in the resurrection with thee shall be. Thy life was one of faith and trust Thy wisdom wise and sure; We'll miss thy words so kind and just, And follow thee to that heavenly shore. A true friend, Louisa R. Smalls.

APPEAL TO THE PASTORS Dear brother pastors: I am asking each of you to take an after collection Sunday at one of your best services, for the social entertainment of the Morehouse College young men who will give the musical at the city auditorium Monday night, Jan. 7th. It is customary to entertain such visitors, and the dancing features that have been connected with past entertainments, will be eliminated this time by request of the ministers.

WOMEN EN WAR WOMEN Ema. Colored Wearm Colletting Data For Public Information The national president, Mary B. Talkeed, of the Association of Colored Women has been asked by the committee of Public Information, in connection with the War Department, to gather all material relative to the work done by colored women in this great war. Now in this time for every club, church, society, Red Cross band, food conservation class or what not to send to the national president every piece of literature which they have sent out, so that these may be compiled, showing what has been done. It will make good American reading to know that the colored people subscribed $1,000,029 to the Liberty Loan, $100,00 to Red Cross work, etc. Mrs. Talbert has also been asked to send pictures and biographies of colored women prominent in war work. Will every one help in the collection of this material by reading to Mrs. Talbert the personnel of her organization and the material which has gone out from its publicity department, also any feature of the work which are of interest, as well as pictures, with biographies of the women prominent in war work. Since this work is under the direct supervision of the government every colored woman should record this as a patriotic duty to help thus in the assembling of material which is making history today. This will show forever the colored women's part in this great work, which will eventually and automatically write the part they have played in the history of American women in war. Send in this information We are prone to delay, but now is the time for all colored women to send in this information. Mrs. Mary R. Talbert, President X. A. C. W., 381 Michigan Avenue, Buffalo, N. Y.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER What the Business League Has Done Since Its Organization The local branch of the National Negro Business League was organised April 8, 1918. First—Brought Tuakegee band to the city, August 18, 1918. Donated from the net proceeds for charitable purposes $60.00 as follows: Charity hospital $25.00, old folks home $25.00 and the Urban League $10.00. Second—Bent a strong protest to the President of the United States against race segregation in the government services at Washington, D. O. Third—Hold public meetings at various times with prominent speakers on the programme who set forth to the people at large the advantages of patronizing race enterprises. Fourth—Printed and distributed five thousand directories of the various businesses conducted by Negroes. Fifth—Took up with the railroad authorities with some degree of recognition the matter of better service for Negro passengers. Sixth—Sent Mr. G. H. Bowes, the popular and wide-awake real estate dealer as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Munkegee, Okla, August 1914. Sevents—Together with allied organizations brought to the city some of the most accomplished artists of the race. Elghth—Launched a movement which culminated in the organization of the State Negro Business League. Ninth—Presented to the city authorities against the proposed discontinuance of Negro city physicians. Tenth—Printed and distributed hundreds of copies of circulars with ten reasons why Negroes should patronize race enterprises. Eleventh—Sent Mr. A. B. Singfield as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Boston, Mass., August 1915, who was accompanied by Mr. I. M. Pollard, also a member of the Negro Business League. Twelfth—Gave a strong endorsement of the movement to employ and pay teachers to teach in the unoccupied class-rooms at the Cuyler street school in 1915. Thirteenth—Protected against showing the "Birth of a Nation" in Savannah. Fourteenth—Seat Mr. J. G. Lindsey as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Kansas City, Mo., August 1919. Fifteenth—Employed council, went into the courts and broke up the manufactured custom of unlawfully arresting Negress attempting to leave the city for points north. Sixteenth—Took legal action to abolish cruel and inhuman treatment of Negro convicts in Chatham county. Seventeenth—Sent Mr. W. W. Hill as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Chattanooga, Tenn., August 1917, who was accompanied by nearly twenty other loyal members of the league. Eighteenth—For more than three years has published in the Savannah Tribune the official organ of the league, a weekly letter, which has made it the most popular, most talked of and most famous league in the United States. Nineteenth—Through its influence thousands of dollars have been diverted annually from other channels into the current of Negro enterprises. Twelfth—When we first organised there was much hostility to Negro business man and Negro businesses generally, today conditions are very much changed.
