VOLUME XXXIII Over One Hundred Attended Banquet Over One Hundred Attended Banquet MANY COMPLIMENTS PAID MIRI LINDSAY'S WORK HERE Savannah Home Ass'n Auditorium Presents Inspiring Scene The banquet Saturday night tendered J. C. Lindsay and A. F. Herndon in the auditorium of the Savannah Home Association was a delightful as well as inspiring affair. Over one hundred of the leading citizens of Savannah were present, including eighteen ladles. The banquet was given as a compliment to Mr. Lindsay who has recently moved from this city to Atlanta where he has been made manager and secretary of the Atlanta Insurance Association, and to A. R. Herndon, of that city, who is president and principal stock owner in the company. The whole affair was a beautiful tribute to Mr. Lindsay's endeavors in this city during his seven years' stay here. The principal speeches of the evening were made by Edw. H. Burke, who spoke on Mr. Lindsay's career here; Rev. T. J. Goodall, who told among other things of Mr. Lindsay's prominent church connections here, and President Herndon who gave in a most striking manner a few facts concerning the rise of industrial insurance business among Negroes. He also stressed the importance of Negroes in all lines of business being efficient, energetic and persistent. Immediately after this, Mr. Lindsay was called upon and made a few remarks. Rev. W. A. Daughtry was then called upon to lead "My Country Tls of Thee", after which the benediction was said by Rev. W. G. Alexander. President A. B. Singfield of the Negro Business League, under whose auspices the banquet was given, acted as toast master. The excellent supper served consisted of four courses. It was prepared under the supervision of Joseph J. Brown, chairman of the house committee of the Savannah Home Association, and was served by a committee of young men from that association. Before the banquet and during the supper, music was rendered by an orchestra. Those taking part in the banquet were: J. C. Lindsey, A. F. Herndon, Prof. W. J. Trent, all of Atlanta. A. R.

BULLOCK DIES SUDDENLY AT. CITY LOTS Was Found Dead Early Sunday Morning by Relatives. Mr. W. E. C. Bullock, one of the oldest and best known drivers of the city carts, was found dead Sunday morning about 1 o'clock. Mr. Bullock, who was 65 years of age, did not report home on Park avenue, cast, as usual after work Saturday night. After waiting a reasonable length of time for him to arrive a search was begun by relatives for his whereabouts and it was not until early Sunday morning that it became known that he had suddenly expired at the city lots where he had placed his team After looking around the city lots the body was found by Mr. Albert Jackson, a relative, immediately outside the stall where he had put up his team a few hours previously. Mr. Bullock had complained of feeling a little unwell, but he discharged his duties as usual that day. It was found that he succumbed to an attack of heart failure which was superinduced by the arduous work he performed that day and the severe cold weather. The deceased was a man who was very well liked by all who knew him and his funeral Tuesday afternoon from St. Benedicts' (Catholic) church was attended by a large crowd. The Rev. Father Lissner performed the ceremony and paid the deceased a beautiful tribute. He was a member of the Catholic Mutual Aid Society and the Mutual Benevolent Society.

Green, 1028 Battery Terrace, and left a little girl, Julia Massey Greene is the name given the little stranger, who, with her mother, is doing well. The Invincible Concert Company which announced Friday night of last week at the First Bryan Baptist church rendered a most pleasing program, both instrumental and vocal. The sexlette from Lucia was a charming number as was also the closing pieces, "The Story Book Hall." by the four members of the company. On account of the unusually inclement weather only a small crowd of about fifty persons braved the storm to hear the two well-known blind musicians. Mrs. Johnson and M. Cooper who composed the company. The installation of the officers of the Piney Wood Club took place on Tuesday night at the Piney Wood Club rooms, a large number being present.

It was therefore thought partment of the Grand Lodge of best at this time to do so. This is in Knights of Pythias of this state. line of conservation and utility, thus Nearly all of the loyal Knights of this city had hoped that the Grand Chancellor would at least favor the city by allowing the office to remain here until the session of the Grand Lodge. Several worthy sir knights were suggested from among whom to make a selection, but it was thought best under the circumstances to consolidate this office with that of the Grand Master of Ex-Chequer. This step is very much regretted by Savannahians especially because the city has been honored with this position for nearly twenty-years. There has been a clamor for some time for the consolidating of the office of Master of Ex-Chequer and that o Teachers To Get More Money PAY OF THOSE UNDER $70 INCREASED $5 PER MONTH Salaries of Teachers Coming into System Raised from $35 to $40 a Month At a meeting of the Board of Education, Monday night, the salaries of all teachers in the city and county public schools, who are receiving $70 or less a month was raised $5 a month. Another is but one Negro teacher in the system getting more than this amount, the manual teacher, the increase will effect all the teachers' salaries except his. Another matter of much importance to the teachers was the adoption of a recommendation, effective July 1, 1918, of a new salary schedule, which will be based on tenure and efficiency and which, in the colored schools, will lead from $40 to $80 per month, and in the white schools from $55 to $105 a month. The A. M. Monroe Undertaking establishment has added a new Studebaker six service wagon to its already well equipped business. The acquisition of this beautiful new machine gives this establishment a total of three motor driven vehicles in addition to its several horse drawn carriages and hearses. MMR ESTELLE HERE Mine. Estelle, the well known hair culturist of New York and instructor in the art through the "Nu-Life system, arrived in the city yesterday. She will hold meetings with her agents here and instruct them in the line of beautifying. She will, hold special instructions for those who wish to learn the "Nu-Life" system. The course will cost fifteen dollars and the sessions will be held daily at Mrs. Victoria B. Roberts' home, 603 32nd street, west. The system is thorough, practical and up-to-date and gives its operators knowledge of the conditions of white people's scalp as well as that of the Negro. The madam will be in the city for a week or two and will be pleased to be interviewed by any person desiring information concerning the "Nu-Life" system. the Endowment Department, but on account of the incumbents, this was not done. It was therefore thought best at this time to do so. This is in line of conservation and utility, thus saving to the Grand Lodge hundreds of dollars in administration, rentals and other expenses. This is the view taken by many of the well-thinking members of the Grand Lodge and who join in commending the Grand Chancellor for his action, and too, for the very excellent selection that he made. Other than a Savannah sir knight, no one else would have given more universal satisfaction than the appointee, Major Chas. H. Macarthy of Albany, Major McCarthy is known in every part of the state. His intimate friends delight in simply calling him "Charley". He has served for many years as Grand Master of Ex-Chequer and has been one of the idols of the sir knights. Mechanics Bank Has Prosperous Year STOCKHOLDERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING MONDAY Many New Devoiators Added During Past Twelve Months The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Mechanics Savings Bank, one of Savannah's progressive Negro banks, was held on last Monday afternoon in the directors' room of the bank. The annual report of Cashier F. D. Tucker showed that the institution enjoyed one of the most prosperous years in its history. A feature of the report which brought forth much enthusiasm was that part of it which dealt with the large number of new depositors and stockholders. At the completion of the report the stockholders elected the old board of directors. The directors in turn met and elected the old officers for the ensuing year. The officers and directors of the bank are as follows: Prof. H. Pearson, president; Daniel Simmons, vice president; F. D. Tucker, cashier; Prof. S. A. Grant, Prof. Jno. McIntosh, Atty. F. B. Pettie; J. W. Welcher, Ed. Pettie, H. S. George, A. L. Tucker. The company which does a general banking business declared a dividend of 7 per cent on the year's earnings. $250,000 Photo Play Shows Wonderful Progress Negro Has Made The $250.00 photo play, known as "The Rise of a Race" and showing the progress the Negro has made since the days of slavery, will be shown in this city in the near future. A representative of the picture is in the city this week preparatory to taking scenes here which will show the progress of local Negroes. Scenes of many local Negro businesses, residences, schools and other pictures of particular interest to the Negro will be taken and shown in the picture when it is produced here and elsewhere. The picture was shown last week in Charleston, S. C., where it pleased a crowd of over seven thousand people. It is a picture of much importance to the Negro because it shows him in his best light and is therefore an inspiration to every colored man who sees it. It is being made by the AfroAmerican Film company. WILLIAM SINGERS AT AUDITORIUM FEB 15TH Charity Hospital to Present Well Known Troup The William Singers of Chicago, Ill., the well-known and popular theatrical group which gave such an excellent performance last year at the Liberty theatre under the auspices of the Allied Charities, will appear in this city on Friday night, February 15th. The company which is being brought here this year under the auspices of Charity Hospital, is reported to be even better than it was when heard here last year and gave such a high class and all-round entertaining program. The new Municipal Auilltorium has been secured for the affair and already indications point to a packed house being present to hear this troup which is reputed to be second to no Negro road show now traveling the country. The price of admission will be box $1.00, orchestra 75c; dress circle 50 cents and halcony 25 cents.

The credential committee, Miss Georgia A. Nugent, chairman, Mrs. Mary N. Baker, of Wyoming; Mrs. Theresa G. Macon, of Illinois; Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown of North Carolina and Miss Roberta Dunbar will be in session Monday, July 8th, of Rhode Island, recording secretary, will be in session Monday, July 8th, from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. and from 2 p. m. to 5 p. m.

Mrs. Myrtle Cook, chairman of Program Committee, has been able to complete a program which covers the newer and striking phases of work which has been called for, due to the extraordinary time through which we are passing. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, superintendent of department for Suppressing of Lynching and Mob violence, will have a report of unusual interest to present. The Entertainment Committee are arranging for short trips to Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs. The Garden of the Gods, and also for a midday luncheon served free to the delegates. The committee in charge of transportation has announced rates from the East, through Mrs. Mascie Mosselle Griffin. Mrs. G. A. Moss of Denver, representing the West, and Mrs. Mobel Keith Howard, of South Carolina, will announce rates from the South. Information concerning board and lodging may be obtained from Mrs. M. E.

The American colored women should be aroused as never before, to greater activity. New duties will be placed upon our women through the amendment of the Constitution, which will doubtless become a law at the coming session of Congress. At the smallest calculation, three million colored women will receive the ballot, which is the greatest power that has been given us since emancipation, to correct some of the evils that have crushed us. Government ownership of railroads will wipe out the notorious offensive Jim Crow cars into which we have been herded during the past twenty-five years, regardless of rights as American citizens. Just now a call is coming to you as thrown across a deep valley. Will you will you be there? Let the answer come: "we will, we will be there." All dues and per capita taxes should be in the hands of the National Treasurer, Mrs. Ida Jovee Jackson, 548 East Spring street, Columbus, O., no later than May 30, 1918. Mary B.

Representatives From Twenty-Six Cities to be Present New York, Jan 12.—The American Federation of Labor has spoken publicly of its intention to be fair in its treatment of Negro labor. It has signified its intention to employ Negro organizers to organize Negro workmen throughout the country. What will be the Negro's attitude towards this new position of organized labor? Will he still look with suspicion at these overtures or will he meet the representatives of labor on neutral ground to discuss ways and means by which all labor may be improved—the Negro included? This, and other questions related to the present labor situation, will be discussed at a series of conferences to be held under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions at the Russell Sage Foundation building, 22nd street and Lexington Avenue, New York City, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, January 29th to 31st, 1913. On Thursday night the following prominent persons are expected to discuss the labor question: Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee; Prof. John Hope of Merchouse College; Dr. James H. Hillard, of the Jeanes Fund; Mr. Horace C. Bridges, of the Chicago Ethical Culture Society; Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University; Miss S. P. Bricklidge of the Chicago School of Arts and Philanthropy; Dr. George H. Havens and Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, of the National Urban League On Tuesday, the opening day a discussion of the development and possible extension of the work of the National Urban League will be held by representatives from 26 cities organized by the League. These representatives will deliberate on the larger development of social welfare work On Wednesday evening a reception will be held for the visiting delegates and friends. Persons interested in these matters should correspond with Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York City. Arrangements will be made through the League's office for those attending the meetings to secure accommodations in New York at reasonable rates.

Wilson of Flowerville was present at the meeting, also Prof. E. A. Williams, the district agent, both giving very encouraging words to the ladiesconcerning their work for the coming year. HARRELL'S ESTABLISHMENT INSTALLS NEW MACHINE Harrell's Dry Cleaning Company, one of the leading colored dry cleaning concerns in the city, has installed a sanitary pressing machine with vacuums attachment, something entirely new to the trade, a sanitary glass spotting table for silk work, steam boiler, and small irons for fancy work. The acquisition of these new appliances makes it easy for this well-established Negro dry cleaning establishment to compete creditably with other concerns of like character. The up-to-date, modern and well-fitted workshop of this plant will be greatly appreciated by its many customers and be the means of attracting many new patrons. Mr. John H. Harrell is manager of the establishment which is located at 500, West Broad street. The cleaning of voll, silk, lace, fur, kid gloves and garments of most delicate fabric without injuring is one of the specialties of the firm which not only caters to local trade, but out-of-town orders, as well.

This individual preferenre, multiplied by hundreds of thousands or by milllons, creates a tide reaching back to the very source of the river of supply. - Americans have not realized the food yalue and utility of the potato as have the peoples of Europe, mainly he- cause they could not ‘depend on the quality, or even quantity, of thet: purchases; and have too often pald a good price for a very poor lot of potatoes.” Very frequently, before vol- untary grading by far-scelng potato growers and shippers had somewhat bettered general conditions, the cof- sumer who bought a bushel of pdtatoes might find on the top of the basket a half dozen choice “bakers” then a pack or two of good or usable bolling tubers, another pack so small they could not be peeled without great loss; a large or smaller fraction of tubers that could only be thrown away, and often a collection of dirt, stones, sticks and other trash that completely dis- couraged further desire for potatoes. If the tubers were of one variety or even one type, it was more by aceldent than by Intelligent selection of seed for the crop, or by judiclous sorting by the grower or shipper, Potatoes dif- fet greatly, and the tubers of one va- riety may be flakey, mealy and at- tractive when taken from the oven in thelr bright, brown skins; while an- ‘other varlety may be hard, sogey and unpalatable—usable only after long boiling and mashing or ricing, Fixing two or more types in a lot, when the purchaser cannot separate good from poor hefore use, can Tead only'to dis- satisfaction. Largely because of the Jack of de- pendability, we Americans eat two and a half bushels of potatoes a piece each year; the English or French more than three times as many. There can be no qvestion that If potatoes of the same character, same shape and approxt- mately the same size were sold in re sponse to each customer's demand, with a range in quallty to satisfy all tastes, and with prices to mect tre needs of all purses, the consumption of potatoes might soon be doubled. with benefit allke to producer, handler and consumer. As a step In the right directioy the Food Aministration re- quires that all potatocs sold by Heensed. dealers shall be practically free from frost injury and decay, and free from serious damage due to dirt, sunburn, diseases, Insects or mechanical means, and that they be handled on the hun- dred-weight basis. The Food Admin- istration, co-operating with the Depart- ment of Agriculture, also recommends sorting potatoes Into two grades, ‘The Administration belleves it would be to the producer’s advantage to grade the potatoes before they leave the farm, and the dealer might find it prof- {fable to make a higher grade; but general knowledge of the two grasdes especially and purchase of potatocs only when so graded should help ma- terially to move our large crop of 1917.

AMONG THE MASONS Masonry is by no means a reform institution; neither is it a foundling asylum for the care of the outcasts of society. There is nothing truer than the statement that men are known by the company they keep. Therefore, Masonry is known and measured in every locality by the character of those who are admitted to membership and not so much by its work. Illinois Freemason. . . . The Strength of Masonry The mosthardened pessimist in the fraternity cannot but see the enormous potentialities of Masonry. 'In its teachings it touches the very vitals of the most absorbing questions upon which mankind has ever speculated, the relation of man to God, the relation of man to man and the relation of man to himself. These questions are all touched upon in the great teachings of Masonry, although thousands receive the degrees who never realize that they are even approached. From the standpoint of individual, then. Freemasonry contains the pabulum for his growth and development to a degree unguessed by most of us. From the standpoint of society. Masonry presents an organization dedicated to the uplift of the human race, which in numbers, in personnel and in social influence is unsurpassed. Where it has been allowed to show its influence the result has been instantaneous and powerful. Then is it true that we are wasting our strength.—Masonic News. Masonry teaches men to think less selfishly of themselves and more for others; it shows them why they were sent into the world, and developed the instincts of benevolence and charity. The fraternizing of men whose religious or political opinions may widely differ is a reformation which Freemasonry largely promotes, and the influence of which is incalculable. Man is a social being; it is right that after serious work in the lodge room there should be that rational enjoyment which we call goodfellowship.—Selected The mission of Freemasonry is to make men better, to refine their thoughts and purify their dreams., to broaden man's outlook, to lift up his altitude to establish in amplitude and resolutness the life of man in all its relations.—Masonic Freemasonry Induction Into Masonry Every step necessary to the process of induction into Masonry should be so fitting as to prepare the candidate in mind and heart for the reception and reception of its doctrine. To this end the officers who are charged with the duty of clothing the novitiate should be circumspectly careful of their work and their conduct. Very much depends upon first impressions. If, in the preparation room there is permit Save a loaf a week - Help win the war ed coarseness of conduct and flippancy of speech, these will preoccupy the mind of the candidate and the chances for favorable and lasting impression will be almost impossible. When the process of preparation begins, no one should be permitted to converse with or suggest to the candidate anything which will not prepare him for the lessons which are inseparable from the conference of the degree. If every step in the process is not dignified and considerate, he will not be favorably impressed and his promises of faithfulness and loyalty to his obligations will be frequently disregarded. The membership in general should be thoughtful and considerate, even in the presence of each other, especially in that of the novice. He is critically observing the words and actions of his new friends. If they are unkind and coarse in conduct and profane in speech, he will be forced to conclude that Masonry is a farce.—Masonic Home Journal. Every particle of diminished consumption by the American people is one particle more for the soldiers, men women and children of our associates in this war and for the starving people in other countries. This is a personal obligation upon every one of us toward some individual abroad who will suffer privation to the extent of our own individual negligence. --- We must not overlook the fact that Russia collapsed, not because of the Germans on her border, but largely because of failure to organize and feed her own citizens, and, if we are to emerge victorious from this war, we cannot risk the collapse of another of our co-fighters from this same cause. There is no waste of food among any of our associates in this war—there is the most drastic reduction in their consumption; there is actual privation among their women and children; there is starvation in Belgium. The problem of saving in food is a local and individual one, so that more precise and definite rules just to all can not be formulated. It is a matter for the conscientious consideration of every individual that he or she should eat only that which is necessary to maintain bodily health and strength and unselfishly to select those foodstuffs the use of which relieves international necessities. In this winter of 1918 lies the period when there will be tested in this great free country of ours the question as to whether or not our people are capable of voluntary individual selfsacrifice to save the world. was a luxury. It came in a huge white loaf shaped either like a cone or an inverted punch bowl. When company came they cut pieces off it. The rest of the time, however, the ate either maple or brown sugar, and the huge loaf was untouched except when the small boy of the family found an opportunity to hack off a piece just now our co-fighters in Europe and the company that we want to feed with white sugar, because it can be shipped so easily. So we are going to ca "This little pig went to market; this little pig stayed at home"; but both must help win the war. That is why the U. S. Food Administration is urging a porkless Saturday as well as a wheatless Tuesday. The prohibition against pork extends to all products of the hog, frest or salt, bacon, ham, lard and sausage. The nations we are fighting beside in Europe must have pork. America's supply is not keeping up with the demands made on it. But if we will "save the pork", there will be enough for all of us. The Germans evidently believe that the 'American public likes to be fooled,' otherwise they would not have started the rumors of a salt famine in this country. Nothing could have been more absurd, yet the extent to which it was believed resulted in a real embarrassment to the country. For transportation facilities that were badly needed for other purposes had to be used to replenish markets emptied by guillible hoarders. The report that the Food Administration or the federal government was going to seize home-canned vegetables and fruits, was also German propaganda. There is a lot said nowadays about the curious thing known as dual personality. Corn is a fine example. It it both a vegetable and a cereal. One of its selves is to be used as green corn, which is, however, short lived. Its other self is the yellow meal, though it is the plainer of the two, plays the most important part. For listays with us always and can be used in unlimited quantities in the food-war that must be won before the gun-war can end. In our mother's days white sugar was a luxury. It came in a hugh white loaf shaped either like a cone or an inverted punch bowl. When company came they cut pieces off it. The rest of the time, however, they ate either maple or brown sugar, and the huge loaf was untouched except when the small boy of the family found an opportunity to hack off a piece. Just now our co-fighters in Europe are the company that we want to feed with white sugar, because it can be shipped so easily. So we are going to eat more honey, more molasses and more syrup, and we intend to frown severely on such surreptitious nibblers of the white sugar loaf as hoarders, wasters and those who eat as much as they want instead of as little as they need. About fifty per cent of the families of America have signed the United States Food Administration's pledge cards on December1, according to figures announced in Washington. The total comes to 11,034,329. The campaign for additional signers is still being waged in Georgia and many parts of the country. Jan. 50th TAG your shovel DAY. has your Coal shovel been tagged yet?

There is a definite declération of social dis- erimination in all publie service sgoncles in the South, and a practice discrimina- tion in many places of.the North, This feeble and ignible influence of Negro citizenship is more directly traceable to political disfranchisement than to any other cause, although lower economic conditions plays some part in tt. . Whether there is express law or or- dinance or not on the point, the fact ‘ts the Negro element fn American com- munities exert little or no swy In the Glrection of civic and polltical change and movement; his voice of protest and‘ petition amounts to very Httle in the public affairs. He is stronger in sup plianee and acquiescence, and gets his iittle consideration out of sufferance, Meutally, at least, the dominant peoples are in accord on the proposi- tio of rstraining Negro advancement, andsrestricting it to fixed inferior lim- its; and every conlmunity movement is colored by this mental reservation, and every new order must adapt itself about and around this invisible stand- “ard. The white people of the South, except in the rarest individual in- stances, are committed to the “keep the nigger down, but keep the nigger sat- dsfied” program, in splte of their gen- erab declaration in favor of Negro pro- gress. Thelr interest in Negro indus- trial and educational advancement has its not very lofty limits, as every one knows, and purely economically speak- ing, Negro money has far less purchas- ing power than that of other peoples’. Discriminating power of color makes the difference, in that it minimlzes op- portunity and reduces the number of market places and Jowers thelr grade. Discrimination, in all its detestable and aggravating manifestations 1s the ‘nat- ural and logical concomitant of politi- cal disfranchisement. Simply stated, If Negroes had a hand in the government they live under and support, the market places of all the world would be open to them atone hnndred cents to the dollar maney-pawer. There can be no freedom withont fall citizenship, as there can be no citizen- ship without the suffrage, Citizenship , implies the right to a band in govern- ment, and so without the suffrage, eitizenship is a mockery and a false- hood. ‘The Constitution of the United States is being violated everywhere Nezroes are Cenled the right of suffrage and every express contravention or techni+ cal circumvention of the law, through the thousands of subterfuges, under cover of States Rights and “full faite and credit” docirinnaires ‘amounts (0 such violation as the National Goyern- ment should take cognizance of We Yeeve that most of the Impetus which Is to correct this and other il- legal practices on our land must come from the victorles from the Ne- groes themselves, It is we who must set in motion the counteractants and redress agencies which are to construe and establish and enforce the full mean- ing of the cltizeriship clauses of the Great Constitution, and we are prod- igal and dumb aud foolish while we al- low such a serious matter to drag. All of the abuses of the race have their formation and origin in this back- ground of half-freédom and cirtailed citizenship. . Just as there is from without a men- tal, concerted meve to stay the dawing day of full freedom and citizenship, so, also, within, have we an insidious and traitorous propoganda to combat, fathered by that despicable and de- signing type of Negra men and wo- men which the white South has ap- pointed to lead us. « | We shall have that leadership just as long as we allow It to be appoluted, Just so long as we are controlled by the policies of unfair and unfriendly newspapers, just so long as We cease to think and to analyze the motives of men who claim to be our friends, We have, unfortunately, in this very com- munity, conspicuous examples of this appointed leadership. We have also the usual group of underlings and agents and willing tools, bewildered and begulled by the same fiendish and backward Influences which gaye them and us the leaders. Choatle soeial conditions, oppression and sufering ike that the Negro is en- during, can only be corrected by a mil- {tant and positive definite social pro- gram leading toward and up to a defl- nite social ideal, This must have a foundation of economic ani intellec- tnal progress, of course, which fortun- ately, we already have, The super- structure of full citizenship stature and the fullest opportunity to ‘develop, Is the idea} we must set vp and work te- ward. We must feel the group instinct and sense the responsibility of the whole, for no amount of individual and unrelated effort will bring fruiton. We must work in an organized way for common causes, pooling our ener- gies and directing our strongest at- tack at the Injustices and wrongs of which we are the victims. If we shirk these responsibilities or Gesert those who have had the evarayé to assume them, we are cowardly, ani worse, we are depraved and lacking in the ordinary human inclinatlons and emotions. It we give comfort to those have joined hands with those who would keep us enslaved, we deserve the fate and fame of Judas, ’ ‘The Tribune has falth in the abld- ing good sense.of the majority of our ‘thinking men and good women, and we believe that there 1s developing among us, as amongst every people who have thrown off the yoke of bondage, a group-consclousness, a deep reall- gation of mutual sympathy, which is beginning to make Itself felt, ang which is causing us to take hold of those agencles which must keep up the fight of “Abolution” and not let up until the fires of freedom shall burn bril- ‘Hantly. _ . THE MOTE We Americans are fighting for- the lofty principles of World Democracy, and we are preaching that God Is with us in the fight, and it is not Impossible that this is true, although it Js cbn- spleuously inconsistent’ with our prac tice of democracy at home and oyer pur subject peoples. ~ * . ' It is possible that those who are ‘promting the war and promblgating the policies of America in the war are representative of our goternment, and that.those whose records at home are inconsistent with warring for democra- “ey are not. We must somehow explain to the ‘world the lynching of nearly 3,000 hu- man beings in 30 years, an average of nearly 100 per year.

Slingfield The following letter which appeared in The Tribune two weeks ago, is here republished by request: The local branch of the National Negro Business League was organized April 3, 1913. First—Brought Tuskegee band to the city, August 18, 1913. Donated from the net proceeds for charitable purposes $60.00 as follows: Charity hospital $25.00, old folks home $25.00 and Urban League $10.00. Second—Sent a strong protest to the President of the United States against race segregation in the government service at Washington, D. C. Third—Held public meetings at various times with prominent speckers on the program 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. Bowen, the popular and wide-awake real estate dealer as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Muskogee, Okla., August 1914. Seventh—together with allied organizations brought to the city some of the most accomplished artists of the race. Eighth—Launched a movement which culminated in the organization of the State Negro Business League. Nineth—Presented to the city authorities against the proposed disconti- nance 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. L. 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—Protested against showing the "Birth of a Nation" in Savannah. Fourteenth—Sept Mr. J. C. Lindsay as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Kansas City, Mo., August 1916. Fifteenth—Employed council, went into the courts and broke up the manufactured costum of unlawful arresting Negroes attempting to leave the city for points North. Sixteenth—Took legal action to abolish cruel and Inhuman treatment of Negro convicts in Chatham county. Serentcenth—Sent Mr. W. W. Hill as a delegate to the convention of the National Negro Business League at Chattanooga, Tean., 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. Ninethcenth—Thru its influence thousands of dollars have been diverted annually from other channels into the current of Negro enterprises. Twentieth—When we first organized there was much hostility to Negro business men and Negro business generally, today conditions are very much changed. There are twice as many Negroes in business in this community as were here when we began our campaign of business education in the press and on the forum. Today the essential elements to the Negro's success in business are capital, courage, ability and adaptability. We point with pride to the part the Business League has played in material advancement of our race, and in the revolution of public opinion. The League hopes to hold a big mass meeting with some prominent talent on the program to demonstrate and impart the vast need of co-operation on the part of our people. Encourage the spending of our nickels and dimes with enterprises conducted by the race. We further hope to see that long looked for day when Savannah can present a solid front of organized efforts of all, every Negro that's in business; male or female, as well as every one who believes in the possibilities of business. We are looking forward to the splended results of our committee on arrangements to bring the plans to maturity for the organization of the ladies' auxiliary. We congratulate the work of the publicity committee, under the wise leadership of Mr. M. G. Robertson and our efficient secretary. Mr. W. W. Hill: The preparation of the bulletin board at the headquarters of the league at 458 West Broad street is just grand. The public is invited to step in at Mr. Bowen's office and scan the splendid bulletin board which you will find on display and note the work of the league for the past, the results of the present and the elaborate plans for the future. In scanning the wonderful history of the league's work we take consolation in the fact that the league has well justified its existence and earned the right to be supported by the public. These and other accomplishments along the material line are the object and aim of the Negro Business League. THE NEGRO AND AMERICANISM Hampton, Va.—William Everett of Roanoke, Va., who is a member of the Hampton Institute graduating his speaking recently on "The Negro and American" before a great audience assembled at Hampton Institute to celebrate Lincoln's famous Emancipation Proclamation, said: "The claim of the Negroes to Americanism dates back to the landing of the first slaves at Jamestown. From that day in 1619 the Negro has been an important factor in the development of this country. Though held in shackles, he was gradually absorbing the ideals of the liberty-loving white settlers. "When the American colonists were being lorded over by a tyrannical mother country, a Negro lighted the fiery flame of liberty. After the Revolution, the people of Boston erected to the memory of that brave Negro and his companions a monument. On it may be read these words: 'Long as in Freedom's cause the wise contend, Dear to our country shall your fame extend; While to the world the lettered stone shall tell, Where Caldwell, Attucks, Gray and Meverick fell.' "It is said that one out of every ten men with Perry on the Great Lakes was a colored man. The assistance that the slaves gave to General Jackson in New Orleans prevented the British from capturing the city. 'During the Civil war black soldiers fought and died for the Union at Fort Wagner, at Petersburg, at Fort Pillow, and many other places. "Thirty years later the Negro soldier faced the Spanish guns and again to lay down his life for his country. "When we entered this great war, the loyalty of the Negro was questioned by some, although in previous wars the Negro had fought for a freedom which was not his when won. "The United States Government, however, soon indicated its faith in these dusky-skinned Americans. After passing the Selective Draft Law, it established a training camp for Negro officers. In four months the Negro had so well shown his capacity for leadership that Uncle Sam accepted six hundred Negro commissioned officers. "From the eighty-old thousand Negroes in camps, the Government is contemplating the formation of several divisions of colored troops. An engineer corps is being formed by men who are skilled mechanics." "Negro soldiers are going forth to protect the flag of this country and the freedom of the world. When thousands of them have laid down their lives for the peace and happiness of posterity no one can dispute the Negro's claim to Americanism." SCENARIO FOX WAR PHOTO-PLAY Marc Edmund Jones To Write Story For Movies Washington, D. C. Jan 15-Mare Edmund Jones( regarded in theatrical circles as one of the very best scenario writers in the country, has been engine by the National Colored Soldiers' The plot will be an attractive one, full of thrills, abounding in lofty sentiment, telling a consistent story of the valor and loyalty of our people in war, of our progress in education and industry in peace, and interweaving a thread of romance and heart-interest. The scenes and situations will give the participants some wonderful opportunities for impressive acting and the success of the principals may lead to permanent work for them in the movie business, as the picture producers are admittedly on the lookout for real colored talent for the films. A popularity contest for a group of principals for additional pictures will be started in Philadelphia in ten days, similar to the Washington contest. The directors of the committee's work are preparing to put on contests in New York. Chicago. Indianapolis. Nashville. Pittsburg and other places in the near future, for all-colored casts. FOOD CONSERVATION TALK Washington, D. C., Jan 10. The Sunflower State Agricultural Association, composed of the colored farmers of Kansas, held a meeting recently at Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, Topeka, Kans., and by unanimous vote declared support to the United States Food Administration, urging full co-operation of the Kansas farmers and for world wide freedom President William R. Carter of the Association told the farmers that it was their task to help, win the war. "We are a great part of this great country," said President Carter, "and it is up to us to respond to every call made by our President through any department of the Government. All the world insists that food must play an important and essential part. "Since it is foot, then food we are going to have, and the farmers of Kansas intend to see that it is furnished. These young men are going into the fields, those who do not go into the trenches, and become producers as well as consumers. They will produce more than they will consume, for they realize that there are our sons and brothers in the trenches, and on the battle fields who must be fed." Poultry, farm and industrial displays attracted the attention of many who attended the conference. Women showed by demonstrations how they could help win the wgr, and how easy it is to observe the meatless and wheatless days and still remain happy. "Poultry raising must be given special attention this spring," declared J. G. Grove, the Negro Potato King, from Edwardsville, Kans, "because poultry and eggs must to a considerable degree take the place of meat on meatless days. There is a great demand for poultry at present, and it will be still greater in the future. Uncle Sam is today the quartermaster of a hungry world. He is playing the game squarely and counts on you to do the same. The American people cannot expect more than their share of the food supply, which for 1918 does not measure up to expectations. It is now time for every American to get these facts by heart. In order that you may know the facts, the United States Food Administration from time to time issues statements and announcements which are printed in the newspapers for the information of the American people. The Food Administration and Herbert Hoover in giving you the facts of the food situation, believe that you have the courage to face the truth and adjust your household to new war sacrifices. As the war goes on and the need becomes greater, we Americans must be ready for greater sacrifices. More than ten million families have pledged themselves to help make the food go around. This pledge, unless we interpret patriotism as mere lip loyalty and insincere affection, is a pledge to serve as real as that of the soldier. The pledge card is not a mere scrap of paper, but the pledge of the American women to stand by the declaration of war. Men, help the women. Remember the gospel of clean plate, the serving of small portions, the purchase of less supplies. Hoarding—Any person in the United States who buys more foodstuffs or fuel, than he customarily keeps at home in peace times is defeating the government in its purpose to secure a just distribution of food and fuel and in its great endeavor to reduce prices. The hoarding of food or fuel in households is not only unnecessary, as the government is protecting the food supply of our people, but it is selfish and is a cause of high prices. Such actions multiplied by thousands increase the demands upon our railways for cars and already, because of our military demands, it is with extreme difficulty we can now move the necessary food to markets. Food has now taken a dominant position in the war, and we must ask the American people to sacrifice far more than at first thought necessary. We have exported the whole of the surplus of the wheat from this harvest after reserving to ourselves an amount sufficient for our normal consumption of seed and flour until the next harvest. In other words, every grain of wheat or its products that our associates in this war receive from the United States from now on will be exactly the amount which our people have saved each month on their behalf. Our associates in this warask today for 25 per cent more meat and fats that we considered our monthly production permits us to send them without trenching on our own supplies, or, on the other hand, unless we consume less. Hog men who complain that "13 to one" arrangements does not leave them twelve million American homes be any profit will do well to study their speak a mighty, concerted effort that own methods more closely. will be felt beyond the seas.
