Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune. WAS ARRESTED IN OKLAHOMA AND LODGE IN PRISON Informed Court that He Proposed to Seek Reparation First Lieut. Charles A. Tribbett, 367th, * * was ejected from the train at Chicasha, Okla., March 1, on train 411 of the Frisco, J. W. Barlow, conductor. He was placed under arrest by Chief Phillips and placed in the county jail. An information sworn to by the county attorney charged him with violating the separate coach laws of the state. Lieut Tribbett was riding on transportation furnished by the government of the United States and the cause of the difficulty developed out of the fact that "he was a Negro riding in a Pullman in Oklahoma." His checks showed his reservation to be Car 17 Lower 8. E. R. Biggs, 211 Papen street, St. Louis was the porter in charge. The Pullman reservation had been purchased straight through from Camp Upton to Fort Sill. When the train reached Chicksha Chief of Police Mitchell proceeded to the coach and informed the army officer that it was against the law of the State of Oklahoma for him to ride where he was. Tribbett stood silent for a moment and very diplomatically said, "Slr, I have fully decided not to enter your separate coach, but I want you to know that I am entirely at your service." Conductor Barlow then said, "Well, you see, he refuses to go." The Chief said, "Yes", and placed his hand on Lieut Tribbett's arm, without offering any semblance of resistance Lieutenant Tribbett submitted to arrest and walked down out of the coach. Editor Roscoe Dunjee and Staff Correspondent J. M. Anderson, of the Black Dispatch, who were riding in the separate coach had hurried to the Pullman when the train stopped, now offered their services. They informed the lieutenant that they would secure the immediate services of an attorney and come to the police station, and so it was that when the Chief reached the station, Attorney Robert L. Fortune was waiting. "Chief Mitchell seemed up in the air as to his jurisdiction and visibly showed signs of not knowing what to do. Leaving his prisoner at the office with his race friends he went of to get his bearing. At last after almost an hour he returned and said that his instructions were to deliver Lleut. Tribbet to the sheriff. From the police station the party proceeded across several blocks to the county jail, where a large crowd of curiosity seekers stood with Sheriff Hodge F. Bailey to actually see an arrested black officer. "Well this old boy is who you are looking for, said the Chief. "What was the trouble?" said Bailey, whom no one would ever have taken for a sheriff unless told. "Well, as near as I could understand it", said the Chief, "this fellow was riding in the Pullman and refused to get out, the conductor turned him over to me." 'Waal,' said the sheriff, as he stood and looked a Yale graduate in the face for the first time, "Wa'al, I'd liked to have been conductor myself for 'bout 20 minutes," and the crowd laughed. The army officer was silent and paid no attention to this vicious attempt on the part of the sheriff to intimidate. On the inside, Editor Dunjee secured telegraph blanks and a message was sent to the Commanding Officer at Fort Sill. As Editor Dunjee was inquiring, over the phone what the charge would be on 60 words to Fort Sill, some of the curiosity seekers behind him said, "He will smell brimstone before he reaches Fort Sill, and some young man who evidently was clothed with authority about the jail, for he had a large gun sticking out from under his coat, proceeded in a loud voice to tell the auditors that the conductor would have lost his job had he "permitted a nigger to ride in a Pullman." Finally Sherrif Bailey returned and read the information, charging Chas. A. Tribett with violating the separate coach law of the state and commanding him to appear at once before Justice T. P. Moore, for trial. There wasn't much formality in Justice Moore's establishment. He read the complaint and said: "Gulity or not guilty." Editor Dunjee protested on the ground that a reasonable amount of time should be given to defendant to secure counsel before he pleaded. TWILIGHT REAPERS MAKING MUCH SUCCESS Business Outlined at Smoker Last Monday Night The Twilight Reapers Investment Company has launched out into the financial world with a determination to succeed, judging from the expressions of a number of its stockholders at a smoker given at the company's room, 624 Bolton street, west on last Monday night. The company is only a few months old, but its financial statement shows that it has made remarkable progress in that time. The shares are being sold at $5.00 per share, allowing you to subscribe for as many shares as you desire and to pay $1.00 down on each share and $1.00 per month until subscription is fully paid. This is a very good inducement and from the outlook many of the young men are taking advantage of it. At the smoker on Monday night, several talks were made along the business line. J. B. Moultrie acted as toast master and the speakers who were guests of the occasion were R. A. Harper, W. S. Scott, Rey. S. T. Redd, G. H. Bowen, E. C. Blackshear, P. E. Perry and E. H. Burke. Attorney F. B. Pettie spoke for the company. Several selections were rendered by the Pilgrim quartette. The financial condition of the company and the officers and directors are as follows: ASSETS: Real Estate Owned.....$6,000.00 Stock in other Com..... 625.00 Bills Receivable..... 304.00 Cash..... 202.14 Total.....$7,191.14 LIABILITIES: Capital paid in.....$3,000.00 Borrowed Money..... 2,750.00 Bills Payable..... 350.01 Undivided Profits..... 1,001.13 ASSETS: Total.....$7,191.14 Officers and directors—W.

Clarke announce the approaching marriage of their daughter, Esther Elizabeth to Mr. Houston L. Tolbert, Tuesday June 4. Rev. R. J. Williams, pastor of Mother Bethel church, Philadelphia, and Grand Master of Masons of Pennsylvanial, came in to see us last Tuesday. Lawyer Fortune was away at the time preparing a writ of habeas corpus. Finally over the protest of the assistant county attorney the justice agreed to wait until the lawyer returned. A plea of not guilty was entered on his return and bond fixed at $50 cash or $200 surety. On agreement, Tribbett went to jail for about an hour so that Grady County might go their limit in their humiliation of an officer of the United States. He was plentifully supplied with funds for such an emergency but preferred letting the record show just what democracy means to a patriotic soldier who has volunteered to fight for his country. Sheriff Bailey entered and scarched Lieut. Tribbet's officer's equipment and when the black officer demanded to know why this was done, the sheriff said he was searching for whiskey. He found none. In about an hour Lieut Tribbett put up a cash bond of $50 and spent the night as guest of the Colored Red Cross ladies of Chickasha. The following morning, on advice of his attorney he pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $5 and cost, totaling $24.00. According to Lieut. Tribbet's statement; he was kangarooed in the jail and forced to pay the prisoners, who were all white. Lient Tribbet is a native of New Haven, Conn. His family is one of the oldest and most respected of the race in the New England states. He is an electrical engineer. On graduation from the New Haven High school he entered Yale, graduating from the Scientific Research Department. Was never in jail before in his life and through all of the trying ordeal conducted himself as a polished and cultured gentleman. He informed the court that he proposed to seek reparation—Black Dispatch. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH, 30, 1918 Woman Fatally Shoots Wrong Man WADE JONES INSTANTLY KILLED BY JOSEPHINE MUMFORD Was Shooting at Joe Simmons Because He Failed to Give Her Money Wade Jones, about 20 years old, was instantly killed early Friday morning of last week by Josephine Mumford as he was standing in the door of his house preparatory to going to work. It appears from the evidence given at the trial in the police court Monday morning, that the woman was shooting at Joe Simmons, who dodged behind a post as the woman fired. It seems that Simmons had promised the night before to give the Mumford woman five dollars, stating that if he failed to do so she might shoot him. Simmons failed to live up to his agreement and the woman, holding him to his word, took a shot, at him as soon as she spied him the next morning with the result that the innocent man received the fatal bullet in his heart. John Gray, who lived in the same house with the dead man, just across the hallway, stated that Jones had gone to the front door of his house, which is situated in Duffy street lane, between West Broad and Montgomery to empty some garbage and that as he was leaning in the act of putting the trash in the street can the bullet struck him. The wounded man called out to Gray that he was shot and the latter rushed to his assistance, and seeing his condition immediately ran for an officer. When the officer and Gray arrived Simmons was still standing in the lane, near where he was when Gray passed him going for the police. Simmons told the officer that a man did the shooting. He was arrested and later stated that the shot was fired by the woman. The woman, it is alleged admitted the shooting, but said that she fired at Simmons and not at Jones, the man who was killed and only a slight acquaintance of hers. She was turned over Monday morning to the superior court charged with murder. The post behind a charge of murder. The post behind which Simmons dodged when he saw the woman was going to shoot is in a direct line with the door out of which Jones was leaning when he was shot. NEWS FORM BALTIMORE, MD. Baltimore, Md., March 27.—A conference between representative white and colored men was held in the Mayor's reception room last Tuesday, at which the whites suggested a sort of gentleman's agreement by which the recently annulled segregation law could be kept in effect as to operation against colored people. The colored men present vigorously protested against the segregation principle, argued that a colored man had the right to buy property anywhere and/to live anywhere and urged that whites and their newspapers cease agitating the subject. They gave figures to show that where colored people moved property values increased. The congregation of Bethel A. M. E. church is planning to hold a $10,000 rally in June. The members have been organized into groups and are striving to reach the goal. Last summer the congregation reduced its mortgage. indebtedness by $15,000. The Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks is the pastor. --- Rev. J. W. McCoy, pastor of the Pen- sylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion church was tendered a reception recently, the occasion being his fifteenth birthday Bishop W. L. Lee, of Brooklyn, N. Y. preached at the church twice Sunday. The Y. M. C. A. has lanugurated a campaign to raise $10.00. The funeral of Thomas A. Jones, past grand master of Masons, was held at Bethel A. M. E. church on Wednesday of last week. WHOLEM-BROOKER Mr. James Wheeler of Charlotte, N. C., and Miss Mary C. Brooker of Allendale, S. C., were quietly married on Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's aunt, 514 Montgomery street, by Bishop G. W. Macklemore. Dr. J. E. Fonvielle of the Savannah Pharmacy was in Albany for a few days this week. Garbage Men Go On Strike BECAUSE THEIR SPOKEMAN, JNO. GREEN, WAS FIRED All But Four of Men are Now Back At Work The thirty-five men employed as drivers of scavenger wagons went on a strike Tuesday. The men some weeks ago petitioned for an increase in wages, reciting in their request for more pay that they were unable to make ends meet at the $1.00 per day which they were receiving. They asked for an increase of 50 cents per day. The petition seemed to hang fire for some time and the men became impatient. Therefore they inserted in one of the daily papers a notice, signed by John Green, their spokesman, asking council to act upon the matter. The publication of this notice, it appears did not have the proper ring to the heads of the department, so Green, whose name was signed to it, was fired. When the men learned of what had happened to their leader they told the head of the department that Green must be reinstated or they would quit. The authorities were not willing to take Green back and as a result the entire force walked out Tuesday noon. Wednesday morning the city engineer had a conference with the men and at noon about half of them returned to work. It was stated by one of the men that they were told that their wages would be increased 25 cents per day early next month and that they would be required to work only two hours on Sunday with a whole day's pay instead of a half day as heretofore. Up to yesterday noon all the men with the exception of four had returned to work. Green is still out of the service. WAYCROSS, GA, ITEMS That was a practical sermon Dr. J. J. Creagh preached to the K. of P. Sunday. Such talks given to our people regularly from the pulpit would in time bring about changes for the better. With about thirty members present, and the newly elected president, Dr. S. D. Cotterell presiding, the Waycross Negro Business League met at McGraws Auditorium and despatched some very interesting business. Thirty dollars was taken up to employ legal talent to investigate the shooting of a Negro by one of the town policemen. It is hoped that the investigation will prove that that officer could not have done otherwise with safety to himself. The new subscribers for this week are: J. H. Mays, W. M. Simmons, C. E. Davis, H. M. Childs, Oscar Moody, and Rev. J. W. Johnson. Mme. Anita Patti Brown will be in the city this week. The ladies are, no doubt, searching their wardrobe for their best gowns. Before the readers get this item the madam shall have given one of her famous prima cultura recitals. The death grapple between the Germans and the Allies is over-shadowing all other news this week. Mrs. S. D. Cotterell, wife of Dr. Cotterell, has just returned from her home, Cartersville, where she has been to attend the funeral of her sister. She has our sympathy. The gardens of the city are more numerous this spring than ever. Much interest is being manifested by the citizens of Waycross in helping Uncle Sam along this line. The Thrift Stamp Campaign is taking on much impetus with people of Waycross. The school children are taking hold with patriotic glee. The investment, aside from lessening the embarrassment of Uncle Sam, is one of the best and safest way to push up small savings. The friends of Mr. J. M. Sauren will regret very much to learn of an accident which happened on Saturday morning last while doing some repairing on the East side. A rusty nail stuck in the palm of his left hand, which has caused him great inconvenience. The hand had to be lanced on last Tuesday, and he is getting along as well as can be expected under the conditions. Officials American Red Cross Say There Will be No Further Mistake High officials of the American Red Cross at Washington are conducting an investigation to determine who was responsible in the Gulf division for the circulation of pamphlets appealing to colored citizens of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi for funds for the Red Cross, the pamphlets bearing the imprint of a black cross. About the time the pamphlets were first issued The Age published a news item telling of this insult to the colored people and the matter was taken up by colored members of the Red Cross holding membership in some of the eastern auxillaries. Among those to protest against this form of discrimination was Mrs. Eleanor R. Wembridge, director of auxillaries, Brooklyn: Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 19, 1918 Mrs. A. E. Mars. My Dear Mrs. Mars—I want to thank you most sincerely for bringing the matter of the Red Cross pamphlets, with black and red crosses on the cover, to the attention of this office. We had not learned of the trouble, nor had those of other Red Cross divisions than ours. We communicated, through our Executive Committee. With a member of the Central Committee at Washington, and he reported the matter to one still higher in authority. There has been a delay in answering, due to the fact that the first man to whom it was given was obliged to leave town, and his mail was necessarily delayed for a week or two. We have from them the following response: "We shall immediately take the matter up with the Gulf division so as to prevent any further mistakes. Since an investigation is now under way, we can give no report or the outcome, but so far, no one to whom we presented the matter, had previously heard of it, nor could they believe it possible until they saw the pamphlets themselves, which you so kindly gave us. Allow me to assure you of my strong feeling in this matter, that whoever was responsible for this discourteous, not to say insulting, indifference in printed matter, should be prevented from any further exercise of his authority, but you will understand that the Brooklyn Chapter has no authority in the matter, except to pass on the report to Washington, which it was glad to do. We only wish we had known it earlier, and could have reported it with less delay. Mrs. Eleanor R. Wembridge, Director of Auxillaries New York Age EUREKA BRANCH INSTALLS The annual installation of officers of the Eureka Ladies Branch was held at the Eureka Club room Wednesday evening, March 20.

Walker Lectures Wednesday LARGE CROWD EXPECTED AT LIBERTY THEATRE Subject: "The Nation's Call to Services And the Black Man's Answer." On Wednesday night, April 3rd, the Rev. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, will deliver one of his interesting lectures at the Liberty Theatre. The subject of the lecture will be "The Nation's call to Service, and the Black Man's Answer." Rev. Walker who is one of the most widely known Negro preach- ```markdown ``` ers in this country, is a very eloquent speaker and one who is able to grip his hearers in a manner which few men are able to do. Aside from being pastor of the largest Baptist church in Augusta he is one of the foremost Negro Baptists preachers before the public today and is much in demand. The subject of Wednesday night's lecture is of utmost interest in these days when the Negro is shouldering arms along with his white brother to make the world "safe for democracy." Tickets for this attractive occasion are on sale at the Savannah Pharmacy, West Broad and Maple lane, and it is of admission is 50c and 25c, and it is anticipated that a packed house will listen to this all-absorbing lecturer. Frank Callen, Worker With Color Children "Come to my office immediately, I want to see you about the children of a woman who appears half mad." I promised that I would to, the voice over the telephone. There was a hurried attempt on my part to finish some letters before leaving. Within ten minutes time the colleague of the voice over the telephone entered the court to see if I had gone. No further sign was necessary to convince me of the urgency of the matter. The story runs: That a woman, apparently about 34 years of age, had been sentenced to the farm for 90 days without a fine. She had nobody to defend her and nobody to look after her three children, two girls 13 and 16 years of age and a boy of eight. The woman seemed perfectly distracted and these gentlemen acted purely from human sympathy, not knowing the woman, not receiving one penny for services. Then I hastened to have a few words with the woman, but to my dismay she had gone to the farm without seeing me. Following the directions I found the house and the children. After considerable inquiry among the neighbors, all colored, from whom very little could be learned; I left the neighborhood. A white storekeeper some distance away gave the information I wanted and which I felt morally sure the colored neighbors possessed. While in a short time thereafter the farm children were placed under safe and proper guardianship and the household things looked after until the mothers return. What a strange case I thought. White citizens putting aside their work to help protect colored children. Colored citizens and neighbors, withholding information necessary for the protection of colored children. You can avoid this in your neighborhood, by giving all the information you can when such inquiries are made. PAGE TWO Narrow Skirts and Tight Sleeves Favored for Spring New York.-The papers have been full lately of the reported sayings of soldiers, officers and privates, regarding the clothes of the American woman. It must be a joyful sight to come into town from one of the training camps and see Fifth avenue, on dress parade © MCCALL Walking Costume of Dark Blue Serge in all the beauty of spring colors. One young aviator of my acquaintance asked that among the magazines sent to hi min France there be one very frivolous one. "Have it full of pretty girls." he said. Material Differences It's all very well to complain of the high cost of living now. Materials are higher, but * * * in a few months they may be even higher, and so we must "make hay while the sun shines." They certainly are enchanting, in all their pristine freshness, draped in the shop windows, or made into adorable little frocks and suits. Crepes, volles, silk and cotton jerseys, a veritable feast for the gods. A yard or two of palest rose organdie, a ruffle or so of net, a twist of baby blue ribbon * * and Miss Simplicity stands before you, charming to a degree. There's a difference in her simplicity this year from the studied, often overdone effect she C. M. M. The Eton Suit of Sports Material achieved last year. Her skirts are really narrow, and the charming effect is really gained by the materials "made in America." There are so few "imported" goods in comparison with other years. Fashion Casts Her Shadow Before Fashion Casts Her Shadow Before There is one very noticeable thing about the modes of this year, and that is the way the Eton jacket is being featured. Suits, serge dresses, walking costumes and even lingerie frocks have their youthful little jacket, or the effect of one, which amounts to the same thing in the long run. One stunning dress I saw the other day was of blue serge, that material almost impossible to buy, with a short Eton jacket worn over a white satin blouse. The pockets on the skirt were lined with the satin. They were not patch pockets, merely slits, but the peep of white was most fetching. Of course, the jacket was lined with the satin, too. The one illustrated here has floated panels, front and back, gathered at the waistline. Note the odd way the braid is put on. Indeed, there is a great deal of braid being used this year. Another dress I saw had quaint insets of black satin in the blue serge waist, with Hercules braid woven over it in the way the children weave strips of colored paper at school. Collars, Cuffs and Belts There are many attractive ways to make the collar and cuff set which adds such a touch to the costume. One of the big stores here are featuring wide sailor collars and deep cuffs with black spots on them here and there. The spots are the size of silver dollars or larger, and as you can easily understand, there are not more than two or three to the collar. Double collars of dainty organdie with their matching cuffs are the making of the simple walking dress or suit. Some of the dainty vests and vestees are interesting for they plainly show their oriental influence. Belts and girdles will be much featured this year, some absolutely plain ones being of grosgrain ribbon six or seven inches wide, with a matching buckle. Often these belts are an integral part of the sports costume, matching the hat and parasol in color and design. Sashes, too of two-toned ribbon do much to dress up the frilly summery dress of simple mull or volle. Fichus, too, are very popular. Indeed, there are any number of fascinating ways to finish off the simplest dress. Eton Suit and Smart Vest There are many unusually modish points about this little suit. Made of heavy Rajah silk in a wonderful tone of Chinese blue, the vest and collar are of white pique. This long, tight sleeves and pointed side tunics proclaim it indeed a model of 1918. It is absolutely plain, and very youthful in its simplicity. WRIGHTSVILLE, GA. NEWS Mrs. M. N.

The school was first organized for orphan work in 1868 by Mrs. Rachel Cane Mather of Boston, Mass., a teacher. She with Mrs. Monroe of the Mount Pleasant orphanage, located near Charleston, and Mrs. Owens, Miss Toombs and several other Northern teachers came South very soon after the civil war to teach among the colored people. Some of them gave their lives in work among the colored people here and throughout the South.

Some one once remarked, "The man I do not like is the man that I do not know" and the remark has a deeper signification than appears at first. I have said elsewhere, that if the southern notion of the Negro was to persist, that it was a mistake to send the colored soldiers-in-training into the Northern cantonments. There they would meet the Anglo-Saxon soldier on terms of fair equality, and a mutual liking would ensure. And this seems to be borne out by all the facts that come to us from letters and from visits from our own training-leutenants as they return to us on leave of absence. The following incident illustrates how camp friendships cut across certain lines of demarkation. A group of soldiers, white and colored, were out together fraternizing as soldiers will; and the group went to a restaurant for a lunch. This occurred in Virginia. The proprietor expressed his willingness to serve the white men but not the colored. To this the soldiers made no demurrer, but ordered vlands for the entire group, and took them with necessary dishes upon the sidewalk where they all sat down and ate as the sidewalks were convenient dining tables. And the passers by looked on with differing emotions. To some of them it was a new illustration of the democratic spirit. So far as personal information comes from the various northern cantonments 'it is of most pleasant relations among the representatives of the two races. An interesting phrase of this is s' An interesting phrase of this is in the courses of study which our officers-in-training enter with their white conferes. To many of them the meeting in mixed classes was a new experience. Perhaps I have said this before, but if so, it is worth repeating; that I am always glad when one of our college men matriculates in a northern university. If one finds that Anglo-Saxon gray matter is finer than African gray matter, accept the fact, for facts are what we wish. But if the result shows, as I think it will that "gray matter" is "gray matter" despite the presence or absence of a little tropical blood, the revelation will not hurt but help both parties to the intellectual contest. Meantime, the meeting in mixed classes has opened upon new opportunities for acquaintance and friendship and some exchange of courtesies. The following is a case in point. Two men, lieutenants, representing each his own race, were out upon a reconnaissance walk in connection with a course study. They came to stream too deep for the colored officer to wade across in his low boots, but not too deep for the white officer who chanced to have on his long legged boots. The white man sensed the situation, and said, "You cannot cross without getting wet. Let me carry you cross." No sooner said than done; the colored officer sprang upon the back of the white officer and in less time than it takes to tell it, the act of courtesy was carried out and both men dry and comfortable were upon the opposite bank pursuing the purpose of their walk. Two illustrations of the contest of "gray matter" with "gray matter" have come to me recently, in both of which the colored officer leads the class. The one was in a class studying the rapid-firing gun; about which the leading colored officer rather modestly claimed that his leading was rather a, matter of luck, but which I interpret as rather a matter of "nerve." The other was a distinctly scholastic test, being a course upon field fortification, in which mathematics played no small part. In a class of thirty, there were four colored officers, and one of these led the whole class. He with a similar modesty ascribes his success to one college teacher; but my own idea is, that his success is due to his student attitude toward his work while in school. To him a teacher's assignment was always a duty to be performed and not a task to be avoided. Not all the items are from northern cantonments. One gets hints of pleasant relations existing in the southern 33rd AND WEST BROAD STS. SATURDAY MARCH, 30, 1918 camps. Perhaps this is as significant as anything that has come to me. A friend of mine was riding across Alabama and Mississippi, and behind him sat two men, one a soldier who had been on a furlough and who was returning to camp. He said to his seatmate, that he had gone into the war with a good deal of unwillingness, but that he had got so much good out of it and so much real enjoyment, that he was glad to get back. "And what about the _____?" asked the other "I have cut that word out of my vocabulary. I have got acquainted with the colored men in camp, and I have learned to like them and to know them, and they are making good in camp, and to me they are colored soldiers." I do not think this incident ushers in the millenium, but it does illustrate that when men can get together in circumstances where the lines of social cleavage are forgotten, that a certain "cararaderie" is bound to develop. I would not prolong the war one day; not one hour; not one moment; but I have the faith to believe that the war will not end until the spirit of comradship which the canonments illustrate shall become general out side the cantonments. For, after all "The rank is but the guinea's stamp. The man's the gold for a' that!" I find the following in a religious paper. It is from a letter from a soldier in camp, and bears the caption "Express Your Love." The boy writes GAL.....EIGHT... "Do I ever get tired of being told you love me? Never stop writing it. The the fellow for whom I have the most pity in the army is the one who has no one to love him or writes to tell him so. You know in the army the immorality is due either to the 'nobody-cares' attitude or 'nobody will find out, attitude. The fellow who gets a bit of both of these can easily go wrong if he choses." In larger lines a chaplain writes, that he prefers the camp to the country, for "here one finds the stimulus of struggle with nature plus the fellowship of large bodies of able, good men which even the best small town can furnish but sporadically." He prefers it to the city, because "the electric lights, the autos, the movies, the theaters are there, but you can walk from one end to the other of a vast city of 40,000 without seeing a single saloon, or the advertising of the sex-impulse for commercial purposes." And he prefers it to the college campus, "because the equivalent of fraternity, the chum and athletics and glee club and college journal and Y. M. C. A. are there, but each in its proper relation to the main show, but electives and snap—courses have entirely disappeared." Sald one lieutenant to me, "We handle the instrument of death so frequently and so familiarly that we become accustomed to the thought of death and it loses its fears." And this calls up a question asked upon the cantonment, "What are our boys thinking about?" It is hollow mockery to talk of a ministry of merely social service to a clear-eyed boy who looks you squarely in the face and asks you if death ends all and how do you know it doesn't I thank God that my boys are laying hold upon the only argument for immortality—the practice by the will of the principle that he that loseth his life shall find it. The only way to know that there is no such thing as death is to dare to face it as Jesus did for a great cause and find out." There is a side of the war which perhaps we have not sold much about or thought much about which came to me in a personal letter from a friend in the north. Two of his sons are in the service and the third is getting ready. He writes "Their lives are completely broken up. If they return they will have no jobs and no money. The places they might have filled will be held by somebody else; and besides PHONE 296 rHONE 296 GODLEY & GRIFFIN (Successors to F. S.

That is the one virtue that justifies its existence. The moralities that occupy so large a place in our lectures are ours by adoption. They are in no sense original and every neophyte is required to possess them before he can be admitted to our band. We teach nothing that is new or exclusively ours. We simply give to our members an opportunity to associate themselves with men of moral character and lofty purpose, and by constantly reminding them of the highest ideals of life and service, strive to keep them keyed up to a high standard of principle and conduct. But with all our preaching and posing, we are constantly in danger of offending against the cardinal principles of our profession, the brotherly love that overlooks trifling faults and errors, that gives our brother credit for pure motives and honest intentions, that strives to lift him up rather than throw him down.—Masonic Standard. Masonry is a school which teaches equity and justice, as the rule and practice of its students.—Masonic Light Unworthy Members Occasionally is heard a criticism of Masonry and a justification of the the criticism by pointing to the unmasonic acts of a known member of the order. Perhaps the best answer to these charges is to quote Dr. Mackey as follows: That there are men in our order whose lives and characters reflect no credit on the institution who turns coldly from its beautiful lessons of morality, whose hearts are untouched by its soothing influences of brotherly kindness, whose hands are not opened to aid in its deeds of charity, is a fact which we cannot deny, although we may be permitted to express our grief while we acknowledge the truth. But these men, though in the Temple, are not of the Temple; they are among us, but are not with us; they belong to our household, but they are not of our faith; they are of Israel, but they are not Israel. We have sought to teach them, but they would not be instructed; seeing, they have not perceived; and hearing, they have not understood the symbolic language in which our lessons of wisdom are communicated. The fault is not with us, that we have not given, but with them, that they have not received. And, indeed, hard and unjust would it be to censure the Masonic institution, because, partaking of the infirmity and weakness of human wisdom and human means, it has been unable to give strength and perfection to all who come within its pale. The denial of a Peter, the doubts of a Thomas, or even the betrayal of a Judas, could cast no reproach on that holy band of Apostles of which each formed a constituent part. Of all human societies, Freemasonry is undoubtedly, under all circumstances, the fittest to form the truly good man. But however well conceived may be its laws, they cannot completely change the natural disposition of those who ought to observe them. The social side of Masonry has never been properly developed. No occasion to entertain its members and their families should be overlooked by a lodge, and equally important is its duty to instruct and broaden the minds and character of Masons. The craving and desire for this form of Masonic activ- ity is evidenced by the formation of clubs or societies, whose work is purely sociable or instructive.—Masonic Chronicle. NEWS OF ADEL J. C. Fisher, field assistant in cereal investigation, lectured to a large and appreciative number of farmers at Adel High Auditorium Thursday evening March 16th. Those who heard him were well pleased as he demonstrated in a practical way how to eradicate the smuts in wheat, oats, barley and rye. Prof. Fisher told how to know the different kinds of smuts. He said that there are two important smuts, namely, the stinking smut and the loose smut. He told how to distinguish each. He said that the annual loss of wheat, oats, rye and barley at 1917 prices is as follows: Wheat annual loss from stinking smut at 1917 prices was $108,000,000; oats from the two smuts was $40,000,000; barley from covered smut $1,200,000; total annual loss at 1917 prices $154,200,000. Prof Fisher stressed the importance of planting clean, sound non-affective seed. He told of the different treatments for stinking smut of wheat, smut of oats and covered smut of barley. Of all of the treatments which he mentioned he recommended the formalin treatment as the most effective. He said it is easily applied, inexpensive very effective. He told of the necessary equipment that was needed to treat the oats, barley and rye. Then is a practical way he tol how to treat the smutted grain with the formalin. Likewise giving the precautions. We feel that Prof Fisher's coming will mean much and we will impart this information to those who were not there. He stated that there must be organized effort in order to eradicate the smuts from the county and state. We are grateful to the eatlyfer's cautions. WeltyMubglow the agricultural department for sending Prof. Fisher to us as he knows how to hold his audience as he demonstrates in a practical way his work to us. We feel safe in saying that the department made no mistake when they sent him through the state to deliver this message to the farmers because he knows how to simplify in such a way that the less informed farmer can understand him. We took notes as he spoke and with this we will be able to put into practice what he told us. --- Prof G. E. Usher city superintendent, made some strong remarks encouraging the farmers to plant more food stuff and examine the disease germs which was very helpful to us. We are always glad to have him present to speak words of encouragement to our people. * * * Thursday Dr. and Mrs. Cobb of Quitman were visitors of the school while here.

THE SAVANNAH TREND SATURDAY MARCH, 30, 1918 CANNING CLUB ORGANIZED Monday March 25, the children at the Barstow school were given a demonstration in making door-mats with corn-shucks by Miss Juanita Conyers, home demonstration agent. After working with the pupils in the morning, the mother's of the community came to the school at 2:30 p.m. to receive instructions at a meeting held for that purpose. Mrs. E. D. Thomas the teacher of the Barstow school, lectured to the twenty rural mothers present on Red Cross work which was very helpful and interesting. A number of the mothers expressed their desire to become workers for the great cause in comforting our soldier boys. A canning club was organized in the community of the school making the school the centre of the great work. Miss Conyers' lecture to the mothers was on "Conservation" especially by means of canning. Each mother ploughed her support in saving food stuff. Mrs. Maria Gardner, president of the Sackville club, spoke very interestingly to the mothers on the club's work, a number others expressed the appreciation and desire to do their bit. The children sang a number of melodies and patriotic songs which were greatly enjoyed by all present. The officers elected for the canning club were Mrs. C. H. Harris, president; vice president, Mrs. L. Hazel; secretary, Mrs. B. Perry; assistant, Mrs. F. Cooper; treasurer, Mrs. S. Prestor; chaplain, Mrs. F. Jones.

C. King, Jr. Mr. Charlie C. King Jr., died on Tuesday night at his home 2316 Bulloch street after a very short illness. More than three weeks ago he was taken sick but after a few days he seemed to have recovered fully and returned to work. He worked. from that time up to mid-day Saturday, returning home in an apparently healthy condition. Later on in the afternoon he was taken with a trouble in the head and in his attempt to get into the house from the garden where he was planting he fell several times. He was finally carried into the house and there lay in a critical condition, until the end came on Tuesday. He was a young man who had many friends and his deat was a shock to the circle in which he moved. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from Palen M. E. church, Burroughs and 35th streets. He was exalted ruler of Weldon Lodge of Elks and a member of the Evening Call Social Club which organizations will attend the funeral in a body. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Edna King; two children, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. King, Sr.; four sisters, Mrs. C. R. Perkins, Mrs. Annie E. Forte, Miss Celestine King, Miss Mary E. King, and two brothers, Joseph A. and Bussell H. King. Mrs. Mary Bryan Mrs. Mary Bryan, who died Tuesday March 20th was before her marriage, Miss Mary Hall of Baxley, Ga. was confined to her bed nearly three years. But after a long illness God called her home where she would suffer pain nor sorrow no more. The hurts and hatred and the world's disdain and wounds so deep that love and care had not the power to ease her pain or cure. Mrs. Rosa Smith MUCH YET TO BE DONE "Much has been done during the last year; very much remains yet to be done to bring the public schools of Savannah to the high point of perfection Savannah is entitled to. The people are co-operative, they are appreciative, they are liberal in their support. We have a right to be gratified with what has been accomplished in the past, but we should never be satisfied." These words of Savannah's eminent educational statesman are at the foundation of Prof. Robert W. Gadsden's admirably planned summer school. The professor is an unusually busy man these days and holds in store many pleasing surprises for those interested in the Summer school. Among the many stamps of approval given the movement are those of the superintendent and of the Board of Education; and too, the teachers all heartily welcome the movement. The valued busy editor of The Tribune is heartily in accord with the movement. The war enters every question; it enters this.

Our Langleader, Elbert ‘Williatns, is: an old army musician and was once band- master of Tuskegee Insiitute, Ala.

BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER NO 6 ' There is a good business league ‘spirit in New Orleans. The former president, the late A. D. Dejoie, laid a good foundation in the early days of the league’s existence and the newly elected president, Hon. Walter H. Co- hen, together with Mr. Hopes, the see retary, and Dr, Robert B. Jones, mem- ber of Executive Committee of the Na- tional Negro Business League and other local officials is doing excellent work. ' It is important to repeat here one single performance of the New Orleans ‘Teague which more than justifies its ‘existence. Hhere is the brief story in Br. Jones’ own words: “I might say, as far as the Bust- ‘ness League of our clty is concerned, ‘it has served the purpose of protecting our people In New Orleancs from a certain gold mine scheme in which many of,our people were attempting to invest their money; the matter was referred immediately to Mr. Dejole, the president of our league; he examin- ed the matter very carefully and his investigation and divers reports un- doubtedly saved many of our people. trom losing thelr money in a worthless enterprise.” What this League did then other lea- goes may do in safe guarding the in- terests of Its membera A good local league serres not only as @ stimulcs to local business activities Dut also as the watch tower, the outer guard and the protector of the best interests of the citirens of the community in which it operates.

In our previous letetr we gave notice of a series of papers prepared by some of the teachers of the Waycross schools, which were planned to be published with their consent. Last week we gave the paper by Miss Rosetta Patrick of Reidville school. In this issue we are giving another one of the papers prepared by Mrs. M. E. Reddick, principal of Hazzard Hill school, Waycross. The paper follows: "When Booker T. Washington, the wizard of industrial education, opened the eyes of all races, as proven by the industrial schools of the world, he made himself great. "When he originated and disseminated the idea of the Negro Business League, he crowned himself with glory. "Seeing, that if the Negro race is to become economically self-sufficient, it must engage in every form of human activity; and that with our race, as with all other races, without economic and business foundation it is hardly possible to have educational and religious growth or political freedom, he called together the leading Negroes of America, August 23, 1900, at Boston and formed a league which had for its object industrial efficiency and economic fitness, and is known today as the National Negro Business League, of which Mr. Washington was president until his death. "The meeting was called: "First—to bring together Negroes engaged in business and give them an opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Second—that they might exchange views, get information and inspiration from each other and mutually co-operate for their general improvement. Third-Be induced to establish business enterprises. Fourth-To form plans for annual meetings and the organization of local leagues. Fifth-That the world might see scatetred throughout the country numbers of Negroes succeeding in business. "At the time of the birth of the National League there was no organization calculated to focus the attention of the Negro upon what, he was doing and could do for himself, in distinction to what was being done for and against him. Other associations emphasizing his right rather than his duties, Mr. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale sketch of a large building with multiple levels, possibly a university or a corporate headquarters. The architecture is modern, with a flat roof and a series of windows. The building is surrounded by a large open space, which could be a courtyard or a parking lot. Washington held that without losing sight of his rights, his duties and opportunities should be stressed. History verifies the first meeting a signal success. "The annual meeting of the league in various cities marked the high tide of interest now; and makes a yearly inventory of what the race has on hand. "In open meeting successful persons tell each other and their less fortunate fellows how they have succeeded. This method employed, the race is revealed to itself. Thru this medium it came to light that Groves, a Negro, is the potato king; Scott Bond, another Negro, the most successful farmer of his state, and other Negroes who are at the top in pursuits, whether it be farming, manufacturing, mercantile or professional. Numerous business enterprises have resulted from the inspiration received in these meetings. "To impress upon our people that white people succeeded by the same qualities which bring success to Negroes and to excite their imaginations and inspire them to strive for business efficiency and success, prominent successful white men such as Wannamaker, Rosenwald and Carnegie, tell in these annual meetings how they achieved their success. Out of the National League grew more than six hundred local leagues which influence in a direct and practical way almost every city in the United States with any considerable number of Negroe inhabitants. Local leagues handle social and economic problems of their community; secure and foster systematic and efficient schools; promote business enterprises; maintain employment bureaus manifest interest in beautifying home, sanitation and conditions menacing the health of colored citizens and guard the community against fraudulent schemes Their apparent over-insistence upon business accuracy, system and efficiency has its rise in their desire to make the whole life for men, women and children better worth living.

PHILADELPHIA AND CHESTER, PA., NEWS Mrs. Jennie Frances, one of the strong members of Tabernacle Baptist church on Lombard street also president of the B. Y. P.
