URGING EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST LYNCH LAW
Says Honest Efforts to Save-guard Negro Prisoners are Rare
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, thru its Secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, issued the following statement today in the form of an open letter to Attorney General Thomas W. Gregory commenting on the latter's recent address to the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association in which the Attorney General urged an educational campaign against lynch law and mob violence:
May 10, 1918.
Hon. Thomas W. Gregory,
Attorney General of the U. S.,
Washington, D. C.
In the press of May 6 and May 7 there is reported an address said to have been delivered by you to the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association in which you urged an educational campaign against lynch law. Such a campaign is sorely needed. In the press reports of your address to the Bar Association reference to individual cases is wholly to mob violence occasioned by public sentiment of alleged German propaganda. In one part of your address you say, very truly, that unless the hysteria which results in the lynching of men is checked it will create a condition of lawlessness from which we will suffer for a hundred years.
We would most respectfully call to your attention the fact that this condition of lawlessness which you apprehend and from which you, believe we will suffer for a hundred years unless steps are taken immediately to check it, is now and has been in existence for many years past. Its victims have been largely Negroes. Since 1885 between 3,000 and 4,000 cases of lynching have been reported. Recently this Association caused one of its staff to take a careful investigation of the files of the Chicago Tribune, the New York Tribune, and other daily papers, magazines and books, for the purpose of compiling information in detail concerning lynching. The compiler has only three instances in which lynchers have been punished. In two of these cases the victim of the mob was white. In the third case, that of a particularly atrocious murder of a Tennessee farmer and his two daughters, the lynchers were two young and friendless white boys.
Since the United States entered war on April 2, 1917, our information is that 219 Negro men, women and children have been killed and lynched by mobs in addition to two white men, one of these being Robert Prager. Four Negroes were lynched in Alabama, 2 in Arkansas, 1 in Florida, 7 in Georgia, 1 in Kentucky, 2 in South Caroling, 11 in Louisiana, 3 in Mississippi, 1 in North Carolina, 2 in Oklahoma, 5 in Tennessee, 9 in Texas, 2 in Virginia, 1 in West Virginia, and 1 in Wyoming. In addition to these cases of lynching per se, 175 men, women and children were tortured, burned and killed at East St. Louis in July 1917, and three Negroes were killed by a mob at Chester, Pa., in September, 1917. In some of these cases the lynchings were particularly atrocious. In Tennessee, for example, three men were burned at the stake, the burning being accompanied by savage torturing. In one case, which occurred two weeks ago, the body of the victim was burned at the stake after having been lynched by hanging.
In the case of the Negroes who have been lynched no question of loyalty to their country has been raised in any case. The crimes of which they were accused were ordinary crimes for which civil courts do now and have always provided adequate remedies and certain punishment. Furthermore, these Negroes were not men and women (for cowardly mobs lynch women as well as men) of wealth and position with opportunities through the engagement of learned counsel to secure delays in trial or mitigation of punishment, but they have been the poor, the friendless, and we regret to say, the desnised.
The Association regards as significant the pronouncement you have made as Attorney General. We would most respectfully suggest to you the expedience of making a second pronounce-
Dear Sir:
Macon, May 15th—The State Negro Business League met here this afternoon at Tremont Temple Baptist church in their second annual session. While the attendance was small the meeting was very interesting. A. B. Singfield of Savannah, president, presided. One of the most interesting features of the meeting was the talk by J. A. Lee of Cuthbert who told of the establishment and program of a retail grocery business he is doing in that city, how it has grown from a small, losing venture to one of the largest and most prosperous businesses of the kind in his city. He said he attributed his success to strict business principles, courtesy and fairness, He also told of entering recently into the undertaking field and the excellent opportunities he sees in this business. Among those who gave excellent talks on the necessity of local business leagues war Carlton W.-Gaines of Waycross, who told of the good work this organization is doing there. The election of officers resulted in the re-election of A. B. Singfield of Savannah as president and J. C. Lindsay of Atlanta as secretary. Carlton W. Gaines of Wycross was elected first vice president, L. J. May, Macon 2nd vice president; J. A. Lee Cuthbert, 3rd vice president; Dr. P. R. King, Mouroe, 4th vice president; Dr. N. W. Este, Hawkinsville, 5th vice president; J. B. Baker, Savannah, assistant secretary and R. Paul Davis, treasurer. The next meeting of the league will be held in Rome, Ga., at the same time of the Ga. State Colored Medical Association.
ANOTHER NEWSPAPER FOR PUBLIC FAVOR
Several Business and Professional Men Interested in Venture
Savannah is to have another newspaper and printing plant. The machinery and supplies are now being installed and will be located at Gwinnett and West Broad streets. Among those reported to be interested in the venture are Mr. F. B. Pettie, Prof. R. R. Wright, Mr. Walter S. Scott, Mr. E. W. Sherman and Mr. H. T. Singleton.
There is no reason why another news paper and printing plant properly managed can not pay We have a large population, thousands of whom have never been reached. The people of this section are liberal in their support of all worthy enterprises, and this one will be no exception. The Tribune welcomes its inception and wishes for it abundant success.
FEDERATION COLORED WOMEN TO MEET HERE
The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Georgia will meet in Savannah June 6 to 8 and promises to be one of the most enthusiastic and interesting yet held. The white women's organizations of Savannah have three thousand members. Mrs. John S. Hawkins, their president, and some of her members are expected to address the meeting. Vital subjects are to be discussed and plans of work inaugurated for the betterment of our people. The colored women of Savannah are urgently asked to co-operate wits us as they have no city federation and but one club has joined the state. We wish the pastors of the several churches kindly to announce our meeting for us, and appoint six women out of each church to meet in conference at a church they choose Saturday morning June 1st 10:00 o'clock. I will be there God willing, and with His help Savannah shall be blessed by our meeting. Dues are but 10 cents a member for a year and if the white women have 3,000 members in one city can we not get 300 there?
We must do our best in the several ways the Lord may lead us. Write me to Box 177 Atlanta, Ga.. Fraternally. Alice D. Carry, State President

REV. R. V. BRANCH, PASTOR OF ST. PHILIP A. M. E. CHURCH
St. Philip's Rally
Brings $4044.00
MOST SUCCESSFUL CHURCH RAL- LY HELD HERE Much Rivalry Manifested Between the Clubs Taking Part
St. Philip A. M. E. church, Charles and West Broad streets, has just closed one of the most successful rallies ever held in this city. It resulted in a total amount of $4,014 being added to the church finances by the various clubs and classes of the church which participated in this big money drive. Much rivalry was manifested by the various clubs for the honor of bringing in the largest amount of money and because of the race of distinction along this line no opportunity was lost by the large membership to work the town thoroughly.
It had been expected that the drive would have resulted in a neat sum being added to the funds of the church, but no one anticipated such excellent returns as have been made by the score or more working class and classes.
St. Philip church is the most beautiful African Methodist church of the state and it was for the benefit of the building fund that the rally was held. The structure is just about seven years old and was erected at a cost of about $50.000. Rev. R. V. Branch, pastor, has been very successful in reducing the indebtedness of the church and the recent rally is but one of several such efforts he has started which have resulted in many thousands of dollars being raised by which the total indebtedness is being steadily decreased. The whole hearted manner in which all the members entered into this last rally is but a slight indication of the undivided loyalty of the members to their church and the excellent co-operation which they are giving their pastor. Simultaneously with this rally here was that at Bethel A. M. E. church in Atlanta in which the Rev. R. H. Singleton and his congregation raised more than five thousand dollars, the largest amount ever raised by a colored church south of Baltimore. This has enabled Big Bethel of which Rev. Singleton is pastor, to burn its mortgage of twenty-seven years standing. This was a glorious event for Attanta, and Rev Singleton's Savannah friends are proud of him.
On Monday night, May 6. at the regular monthly meeting the Crescent Aid and Social Club, its members and Branch had taken out Liberty Bonds to the amount of $000. D. J. Hamilton, president; Jasper Williams, secretary.

5,000 Attend Y.M.C.A.Musical
$12,250 ADDED TO PRESENT FUND OF ASSOCIATION
Undertaker David T. Howard Contributes Another Thousand
Atlanta, Ga., April 30—"An audience of five thousand people last night heard a selected chorus of Negro volces render their ever popular old time melodies in a manner which has probably never been equalled before in any city." Thus began the Atlanta Constitution in its issue of May 1, in commenting upon the big musical that was given at the Auditorium-Armory on the evening of April 30th, for the benefit of the furnishing fund of the new Y. M. C. A. More than twelve-thousand dollars was raised on this evening. Two thousand five hundred at the door in the sale of the tickets, and $9,750 on the inside when the program had been going for a while. This part of the unannounced program was carried out by Mr. J. K. Orr, president of the Red Seal Shoe Factory, and Rev. P. Jas. Bryant, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist church. Twelve thousand dollars marks a new record for one night's musical. It sounds like Grand Opera receipts, but Atlanta did not have Grand opera this year and this Folk-Song Musical was used in its place. Here is the heading of a double column article that appeared in the Atlanta Journal Sunday April 28th "Here is Atlanta's own Substitute for Grand Opera." And among other things said that: "We want all Atlanta to help put it over-big."
All three of the daily papers gave large space to the affair and each of the editors wrote strong editorials on the importance of the occasion. The Georgian in referring the solo work of Miss Violet Thomas of Cuthbert, Ga., who led most of the melodies said Her voice and its precision might well serve as a model for more widely known singers."
One of the greatest surprises of the evening was the giving of another thousand dollars by Mr. David T. Howard, one of the leading undertakers of the race in this country. This makes $3,200 Mr. Howard has given the Atlanta Y. M. C. A. which makes him the largest individual contributor of color in the United States. Many of the leading white citizens vied with each other to add to the fund on this memorable evening. Among those present and occupying boxes were Governor and Mrs. Hugh M. Dorsey and Mayor Asa Candler.
The big chorus of three hundred voices were trained by Prof Kemper Harreld, musical instructor at Morehouse College. Mr. W. Johnson Trent, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. feels very happy over the receipts and the fine impression the chorus was able to make on the thousands of people who came out on that evening. The whole affair of leading white citizens, under the chairmanship of Mr. J. K. Orr, who had the hearty support of several of the leading ministers and laymen of the race in the city.
DEAN KELLY MILLER
TO SPEAK HERE MAY 29
Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., will be in Savannah on May 29. Prof Miller is to come as the guest of the Howard Alumni of Savannah. The distinguished educator is to speak in Albany just prior to his visit here. It is understood that the association is planning to make the night of Dean Miller's lecture an educational awakening for the city. The complete program for the evening will be announced later. The exercises will be held at the First African Baptist church, under the pastorship of Rev. T. J. Goodall.
.JAMES—DOYLE NUPTIAL
Milledgeville, Ga.—A wedding which attracted much attention here was that of Miss Roberta R. James of this city, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lugene A James and Mr. James Henry Doyle, the popular district manager of the Savannah office of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Company. The groom and his best man, Mr. Edward H. Burke of Savannah arrived here on Wednesday morning and were driven to the home of the bride's parents, 303 South Clark street where they were the recipients of many callers during the day which added to the pleasure of the occasion. The wedding took place on Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock in the fastily decorated parlor of the beautiful home of the parents of the young lady. The bride wore a dress of white taffeta silk trimmed with white pearl beads and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. She entered on the arm of her brother. Mr. Chas. S. James, and was met by the groom and his best man who had entered through the bay window leading from the veranda. Mendelsshons wedding march was played by Miss Mary Steele and during the ceremony which was performed by Rev. Blackshear of Flagsg' Chapel Bapt, church, the pianist rendered very softly the "Bridal Chorus". It was a beautiful affair and amidst the showers of many congratulations from the guests present and those who crowded the railroad station, the bridal party left two hours later for Savannah, their future home, carrying with them the best wishes of their large number of friends. The bride's travelling suit was of a champagne colored coat suit with boots, hat and gloves to match.

Georgia Doctors Hold Fine Session
Georgia Doctors Hold Fine Session
DR. W. A. HARRIS OF SAVANNAH ELECTED PRESIDENT Next Session of the Convention will Be Held in Rome
Macon, May 16th—The Georgia State Association of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists met in this city Tuesday and adjourned tonight with a banquet at the Pythian Temple. It was one of the most interesting and most largely attended session which the association has held in recent years and the various discussions proved of much benefit to those in attendance.
The opening public session was held Tuesday night at Stewart Chapel. The introductory remarks of the meeting were made by the president, Dr. A. D. Jones of Atlanta, in which he stressed the necessity of all Negro doctors of the state affiliating themselves with the association and also spoke of the interest which most of the members are showing in the work the organization is doing. Following Dr. Jones came Capt. C. L. Williams, of the United States Army, who spoke on sanitation. He told of the efforts which the medical department of the army is putting forth to safeguard the health of both the army and civilians. He laid much emphasis on the work of municipal and government visiting nurses, the need of education along health lines and the importance of every one co-operating with the government health department in preventing disease and combating any epidemics which may arise. The welcome address was delivered by Dr. J. L. Carwin who extended to the visitors the hospitality of the city. A vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Carsanda Sellers and a violin solo by Dr. J. C. At kinson accompanied by Mrs. Atkinson.
Wednesday morning's session was held at the Presbyterian Church. After the roll call papers were rendered by Dr. Van Buren of Statesboro and Dr. Canady of Atlanta; the former on "The Uses and Abuses of K. I" and the latter on "The Uses and Abuses of Calomel." Diagnosis of spinal meningitis was then discussed by several of the doctors after which a talk on the treatment of that disease was given by Dr. Moore, who was very prominent in the campaign against the epidemic of that disease which occurred last winter. "Vaccine and phylacogen Treatment in Venereal Diseases" came in for a very lengthy discussion, participated in by several of the physicians. Dr. C. B. Tyson of Savannah then read a very interesting paper on "The causes an Treatment of Sterility in Females." The paper occasioned a very lively discussion and was considered one of the best prepared papers at this session of the convention. Dr. Holmes of Atlanta they gave a talk on the treatment of pneumonia followed by Dr. Mosley of Thomasville who spoke on Urinalysis as an aid to the diagnosis prognosis and treatment of diseases. Several patients presented thompson
Several patients presented themselves for examination which was made by several physicians among whom was Dr. C. E. Brent of Savannah.
There was no session of the association in the afternoon. The night session was held at Tremont Temple Baptist church. The principal address was that of Dr. A. M. Wilkins of Griffin on "Medicine and Dentistry—their relation to each other and to the 'World.' Mrs. Mamie Moore rendered a solo which was very generously received. Thursday morning a short session was held at which several interesting papers were read, then the annual election of officers took place the latter resulting in Dr. W. A. Harris of Savannah being elected president; Dr. Brooks of Rome, vice president; Dr. Johnson of Atlanta, corresponding secretary; Dr. Canady of Atlanta, recording secretary and Dr. Cary of this city treasurer. The city of Rome was selected as the next place of meeting of the association.
The dental department of the association met here also; their sessions being held mainly in the offices of Dr. R. R. Hawes where several interesting discussions were entered info and much practical work demonstrated. The officers of this department for the ensuing year are Dr. J. S. Johnson, Rome president; Dr. J. H. Holsey, Atlanta, vice president; Dr. J. J. Bell, Macon, secretary and Dr. E. W. Brown, Ath-

Materials that Fly Our Colors—Summer Knitting Bags
New York, May 15—Everywhere on Fifth Avenue one sees evidence of the many ways in which patriotism has crept into the Fashion world. Of course, the red, white and blue of our flag is repeated in numerous ways. Some of the dalty collar-and-cuff sets to be worn with suits or to add the distinctive touch to the serge dress, are embryonic flags, for the edges are rolled and whipped in red and blue on the white linen.
Materials, too, are following suit, and while the colors are not so blatant those of the flag, one finds gingham and volles of soft blues plaided with rose and white. The dress illustrated here was made of gingham, the collar, cuffs, vest and trimming on the skirt was of white duck, and all the edges were bound with navy-blue cotton braid. A dress of this type is particularly good for street wear as it is so simple and smart. The skirt is a trifle longer than usual, this being one of the newest dictates of Dame Eusten.
From Paris comes news of longer skies, though they will still continue rather narrow. Sometimes they are pleated with the deep hems turned up on the right side, a piping, or cord finishing the top. Many of the new models, beltless, finished by a deep, fitted yoke. Sports skirts combine lines of two colors, the best being of deep rose, for instance, and the upper part of Belgian blue. Often strips of
D. ZOCAS
the colors are sewn together vertically, the hem being of the darker tone. Beads are very great, tracing the triangular, either bands of small beads or larger beads worked into some intricate design. Sometimes the shoulder cams and yoke outlines of luggages and crepe waists are beaded. Bridges that in coming into its share of attention; sashes have deeply fringed ends; and dresses of soft silk; satin or charnet have fringed around the lower edge of the skirt, around the neck, and also as a finish for the short sleeves.
An odd note is struck by the taffeta dress for street wear that is piped in linen. The French are very fond indeed of these unusual combinations. On the whole, the effect is always one of extreme simplicity that has taken much thought and care to obtain.
Now that the knitting bag is a recognized article of—one is almost tempted to say—wear, designs practical for this diffener seasons are absolutely necessary. With the sheer organlio dress, be-ruffled and be ribboned, a bag of heavy brocade, tapestry or velvet is one of place. The summer furs are far more frivolous than those for winter,
even when the knitting they contain is of the same shade of khaki or blue. There are ingerie knitting bags, bewithching little slip-over cases of fine linen, embroidered perhaps, which may be taken off of their linings of pale, yellow or green silk, and laundered as often as desired. They are so cool-looking the fair owner enjoys carry ing them around!
Then there are more practical-looking bags of pongee or sports silk that carry out the color scheme of the sports costume. Bags of heavy linen are extremely useful, and these may be stenciled in some interesting designs, or embroidered, or have large floweers and weird birds appliqued on with heavy stunning bags, and there are so many unusual shapes for them, and ways in which the hard-s may be managed.
There is nothing more attractive for the occasion when one wishes to be particularly well-dressed that for the frock of soft sink mull or tissue, with a touch of embroidery or beads, in the same color as the rest of the dress. The one illustrated here is extremely simple. The skirt has two rather wide tucks above the hem of the same width the tucks are repeated in the waist and on the cuffs, and there are medallion-like motifs on the waist and skirt.
TUSKEGEE INST. PLANS BIG SUMMER
Tuskegee Inst Ala. May 11—With the Summer School session which opens here June 10th and the training of the 380 colored soldiers in trades which begins next week, the Tuskegee Institute will be a very busy place this summer.

DR. G. P. PHENIX OF HAMPTON MAKES REPORT
Hampton, Va., May 11—Dr. George P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton Institute since 1908, in his report to the Board of Trustees, discussed the
BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER
Tuskegee Inst, Ala.—From time to time we have referred in these articles to the fact that, adversities and merchants generally are becoming more and more appreciative of the value and importance of Negro patronage. Such evidences of appreciation manifest themselves in various ways, but they all mean for Negro newspapers more advertising and they mean for the business men of our race more and more attention to advertising and selling methods, such as are employed by business houses of other races, so that they may always be assured of their portion of the Negro patronage.
Pride of race alone will not always compel our people to trade with one another. After all, it is a question of service and prices.
A Trade publication in New York City called "Women's Wear" recently published an article on the Negroes of St. Louis, and this article contains the following very significant statement: "The trade of Negroes in St. Louis at the present time is worth while, merchants say. The Negro is valued as a buying unit in department stores, for this trade as a rule is on a cash basis. Not long ago, the Negro population was not considered as a buying unit. What it bought was usually very cheap, or it did not but at all. But that time has gone by, and today, because of the great increase in the wages of a laborer, the Negro's trade must be taken into consideration. This especially applies where there is a large colored population, as there is in St. Louis, where there are probably 60,000 Negroes. Under present labor conditions, the wage earner is bringing big money into the home, and where there is money for the Negro there will be clothes."

DR. G. P. PHENIX OF HAMPTON MAKES REPORT Hampton, Va., May 11—Dr. George P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton Institute since 1908, in his report to the Board of Trustees, discussed the school's work since the death of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell and reviewed the growth of Hampton during fifty years. He said:
"General Armstrong had to justify his new project in the eyes of three groups of people: The Negro race, who would supply the student body; the white North, who alone of all the people of the country were able to finance the venture; and the white South, who were sceptical as to the value of any kind of education for Negroes."
The average annual enrollment at Hampton has been as follows: First decade, 220; second, 550; third, 661; fourth 755 and fifth 878. These figures do not include Hampton's neighborhood school or the summer school. Dr. Phenix said:
"That the people of the North have believed in the type of training for which Hampton stands is proved by the generous manner in which they have supported it. The same friends who have contributed to current expenses have created an endowment fund to assure the permanency of the school.
"The sympathy of the white South with Hampton's work is absolutely essential. Sympathy has grown with understanding, and the school today enumerates among its most loyal friends Southern men and women of influence and prominence.
"The financial aid which the Slater Fund have contributed for Negro schools in southern communities has done much to acquaint southern people—especially school men—with this type of education, which was literally 'new' not so long ago.
"The interest of the white South in Negro schools is growing every year. Indeed, all things considered, it has grown in the past as rapidly as could reasonably be expected. There are many difficulties which persons living outside the South cannot comprehend, but these are constantly growing less and will some day cease to exist.
"The close of the first half-century of Hampton's history finds the relation between the races in the South, the progress of Negro education, and the school itself, in a condition which the most extreme optimist of fifty years ago could hardly have dared to hope for, and there is every reason for facing the second half-century with faith and courage.
"Generations of children yet unborn will have a better chance in life without ever knowing to whom they are indebted, because of the life and work of Hampton's late principal, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell."
Dr. Phenix also referred to the educational value of goal buildings; increasing costs in the boarding departments; the loyalty of Hampton's friends; the school's excellent health record; Hampton Institute war activities and honor roll; the Negro and the World War; and evolution of the Hampton courses of study.

Atlanta, Ga., May 10, 1918
This comes bearing the glad tidings
that Ruth Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, at its regular meeting Friday afternoon May 10th, purchased $83.00 worth of War Savings Stamps. A fine patriotic spirit was manifested by all the sisters thruout, the entire meeting. They have organized themselves into a War Savings Club so as to receive proper recognition along that line at the headquarters at Washington, D. C. This $83.00 is worth $100.00 to the Chapter at maturity. We hope other Chapters will follow and help our country in this most awful of all wars.

Ruth Chapter is to be commended for this admirable act. It is hoped that other Eastern Star Chapters and Masonic Lodges will purchase War Savings Stamps if not more than $25.00 worth.

Thomasville, Ga., April 29, 1915
To the Savannah Tribune:
Please allow Joppa Lodge No. 118,
A. P. & A. M. to say a word in sad
but loving remembrance of Dr. S. W.
Jamerson, who departed this life
March 27th, 1915. He was a member
of the above named lodge, and serve
as secretary for several years, and he
had advanced to higher degrees also.
He was a member of St. Philip Consistory No. 57 of the Scottish Rite
Masons. Dr. Jamerson came to this
city several years ago, and established
a great reputation as a dentist and
being a man of noble ability and fine
qualities he gained many friends and
caused the whole town as a unit to love him.
Dr. Jamerson is gone but not forgotten. Sleep on dear brother, sleep on dear one and take thy rest.
Dr. Jamerson took severely sick white on duty acting as master of ceremonies for the K. of P. The family physician, Dr. S. H. Wilson did his best to save and loving brother, but the Lord had need of him; he had to go. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Leona Jamerson; sisters Mrs. Mannie Wright and Mrs. Rebecca Voughn; uncle, Mr. George Jamerson and a host of friends too nuremous to mention. Such as Prof. Hawkins of Tallahassee, Fla.; and Dr. M. H. Cobbs, of Quitman, Ga.; Rev. N. O. King of Whigham, Ga., attended the funeral at St. Thomas Methodist church of this city and many other prominent ministers officiated. Now we want to say to the bereaved family, Joppa Lodge No. 118 extends you sympathy. Dr. Jamerson is to as as the broken column to Solomon Temple of old; his memory shall be on perpetual record.
And, whereas Almighty God, omnipotent and majestic in dispensing His all-wise providence, has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved brother. Dr. S. W. Jamerson, on March 27, 1918, and Whereas, in the midst of our rejoicing over the progress we, have made and ardent hope of a beneficient future, the cold damp shadow of death streamed across the beautiful picture, we pause to sing a requiem to the death. Be it
Resolved: That in the death of Dr. S. W. Jamerson Joppa Lodge No. 118 has lost a true and faithful member. Be it
utes to his memory, that a copy of the same be given to his wifg. Mrs. Jamerson. Be it further Resolved, that a copy of the same be published in The Savannah Tribune.

Purity Lodge No. 93
Atlanta, Ga., April, 1918. To the Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Brethren.
Peace be unto you all, now and forever is the prayer of your Grand Master and ever shall he until he crosses the bar that separates him, and us all, from that unknown eternity.
This is health week for twelve or more millions, of colored people in America, and as our members and their families are a part of these millions and as your Grand Master is a physician, he feels it is his duty to call their special attention to this most important matter.
The Grand Master is in favor of health week, as proposed by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, but he would urge the Masons and their families to have 52 health weeks each year and 365 health days in each year.
We are dying far too fast, as a race, and we should do all in our power, as an order and as Masons to reduce this enormous death rate; we can do it and we must do it; hence this communication is intended to help you as a lodge, and help your families through your lodges along this line. We are especially interested in this matter because it means more than we think to die.
Since our last Grand Session in June 1917 we have lost by death 211 brothers; that means 211 homes left fatherless or without a brother or son. Many of these deaths were due to preventable diseases, which means that if these brethren had had proper warning most of them would be living today.
1. Since last June we have lost 211 brothers at a cost to the Grand Lodge in dollars and cents (to say nothing of their service $45,650.00. The average funeral expenses to the lodge $735.00. Average doctor's bill $2,000.00. Making a financial loss to the Masons alone and their families in nine months $55,025.00. This should cause us to pause and think.
2nd. What can the lodge and members do to prevent this increasing death rate?
3rd. In case of sickness call in a competent doctor.
Do not spit on the floors of homes, lodge halls and churches, rd Do not sit in draughts; but entluate your homes, halls and churches.
4th Battle often, drink plenty of water, keep bowels regulated, don't sit up too late at nights, take as little patent medicine as possible and do not eat too much just before going to bed.
5th Screen your homes and halls against flies, as they spread diseases. Don't buy bread, milk, pies, cakes and candies that have been exposed to flies and dust. Don't buy spoiled meats, fish and vegetables.
6th Don't kiss persons with coughs and don't allow them to kiss you or members of your family.
7th Keep your homes, front and back yards clean. Keep your stables and cow barns clean, as flies will go from these places to the dining table and crawl over the food and spread filth and disease from their feet on your food, thence into your stomach and disease and death will follow.
8th Clean out your wells once or twice each year at least.
9th Let every member of every Masonic lodge, from this day, see to it that no filth of any kind be found in or about his home or premises.
10th Let every brother join in and help his wife clean up the home; see to it that no soiled dishes are left after meals but that they are all washed as soon after meals as possible. 11th Use plenty of white wash on the walls of the rooms of the home, out-houses and fences as lime will help to kill disease germs, in short, clean up and paint the home.
Hqping in this way to reach the members of every lodge, and the home of every member, and thus help to reduce the death rate of our beloved brethren and their dear families your ever watchful Grand Master sends this message to the lodges, the members and communities.
May the grace and ever saving power of the God we serve go with this message is the prayer of your Grand Master.
The Grand Lodge meets in Athens, Ga., June 18 at 9 a.m., this year when I hope to see your representative face to face and have him tell me and the brethren how he tried to spread this gospel of health to save the life of his members, their families and peo-
May health, peace, happiness and plenty be yours
H. R. Butler, M. D., G. M.
P. S.—I am anxious to get up a Masonic Service Flag; to do this, I must know the number (not the names) of Masons in the army. Tell me ut once how many are gone from your lodge. Buy Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps.

The trade bodies of the city have
decided to use a card system for the
checking of work days of employees,
‘This is intended as an inceatiye for
laborers to work full” time, It is
agreed that everything possible should
be done in orger to induee laborers to
stick to their Jots, and refrain from
slacking a day or. two in course of
the week. |Daring these times while
our country is at war and there is
Such a-great need for laborers, it would
be’indeed unpstriotie for a healthy
man to work less than full time.
Among our laboriug men there must
be no short-time slackers: cut out the
Yoss of one or two days during the
yreek, thus helping the. country and
‘the community.
But will the card system accomp-
lish ‘its purpose? Labor is resentful
and at presént independent. A job is
not hard to secure, if not here, else-
where, These cards no doubt will be
inspected. The police may be called
upon to accost a mun on the stréets
and demand his card. Many of these
officers are voill of diseretion and
thus will cause trouble. If the Jaber.
era are annoyed here, they’ may seels
employment elsewhere. Thove in
chargé of the card movement musk be
very careinl.
In it all The Tribune advises oud Ja
boritg men to he patriotic and. act for
the’ best interext of the comumnity.

Last year each of these institutions
had individual campaigns, thus annoy-
ing the public several times; and
cause much loss of energy and time
of the workers. These interests’ are
now combined in this one War Chest
moyenrent, The causes represented
are worthy and should be liberally sup-
ported, Our country must win this

People) has assumed state-wide and
netional proj ortions, « There are other
lines of Nezro business of state and na-
Uonal ithportance. *
Problems of business’. self-defense,
business co-operation and co-ordina-
tion, mutual protection, as well as the
‘larger interests of class adjustment
and the provision of employment for
trained men and women will canse
these men at Macon to come closer
together, and remain so, through the
exchanging of ideas and the praseeu-
tion of such work throughout — the
state as will promote the well-being
of Negro business and the business
leagtie.
Nesroes are embarking on all lines
of business and there is already a
sreater demand for competent and
| sxitea managers, operators and’ cleri-
cal forces than can he sufplied. We
shall soon be training our boys and
girls for strietly commercial and busi.
ness courses, both in the schools and
under apprenticeship. There is great
need for skilled business men and com-
vetent clerical men, Even’ now” the
government demand for such workers
is sadly under-supplied.
Georgia Negroes need to feel proud
of the advances which have been made
by representative Georgia Nezroes in
business. No state can make the
showing which Georria can make in
the number and prominence and fin-
ancial rating of its Negro business ac-
complishments.
In.every one of the twelve or fifteen
leading cities of the state there are
conspicious examples of representa-
tive Nezro businesses and _ business
men. There are stores, shops, banks,
insurance offices, drug stores, under-
taking establishments and all the ord-
inary lines, many of them housed in
their own -imposing buildings and all
of them well equipped for the business
which is theirs te do. Every, cily has
its Negro-center, its main Negro-awn
ed office building, with Negro busines:
throughout the neighborhood.
| Think what it may mean to federate
all these groups, within this state
alone, into an active, thinkinz, co-oper-
ating whole! Think what it will mean
to have similar groups earnestly and
getively supportilg the National Ne-
gro Business Leagie!
We shall certainly go forward in a
coustructive way, all our co-operative
activities reacting upon each other
beneficially and all contributing to the
uplift and advancement of the peorte.
We would uot be understood to he
preaching any doctrine of clannisimess
or color discrimination in business.
Far from it. Successfvl business can-
not be prosecuted on any such bass.
‘There is littl¢ or no color-line in husi-
ness, Business is a competitive insti-
tution and the most enterprising, the
most ingenuous and the most reliable
business men are to win out, more so
in the future than in the past. We
are merely emphasizing the necessity
of active co-operation among our bust
ness men and organizations among the
people for mutual information, for mu-
tual patronage and protection and for
the futherance of this important line
of race advancement.
There are no better men than the
present officials of the State Negro
Business League. These pioneers un-
derstand exactly the sacrifices of time
and Jabor and money which they must
make to launch the new state' league
and start it out upon an active and
vital schedule of work which will
“touch the quick” of every Negro bust-
ness in Georgia. Bat these are men
‘who have long since past the stage of
selfish, individual interests, if ever they
knew it, They do not mind subordi-

PATRIOTISM AND WORK
The committee which staged the
successful parade of: last Wednesday,
May the 8th, has been made very hap-
py by the scores of congratulatory mes-
sages, letters and Kind expressions
which have been recelved. It has in.
sisted on passing the words of praise
‘along to the thousands, to whose loy.
/alty, enthusiasm and industry the ered.
'it rightfully belongs: .
| The committee is more interested i:
the results of the great showing the
people made, and is anxious that the
splendid affair shall be turned t
fruitful and definite account,
We must not lose sight of the rea’
soa, the important issue, in our re.
'joicing. We must not be diverted by
Coe ee eee Ae
from the great causes which that.
beauty and splendor ang success were
intended to subserve. We must capi-
tilize the great power and strength
which we -bave marshated and turn it
nto definite, materialized advantage
for the good of humanity, the world
over, and in the interest of the nation’s
serious problems of state.
* We were not called together in holi-
day and patriotic demonstration for
mere show. We were called together
in our brilliant example of unity and
enthusiasm to impress upon ourselves
the gravity of the national cause in
'the great war. We were called to-
‘gether to learn of the hazards which
civilization the world over, is under-
‘going. We were called together to in-
form oyrselves of what, thousinds of
American boys, black and white, are
undergoing and must yet undergo—and
what we ourselves, even, may expect
cif forteme does not‘ remain with us.
What was the purpose of the great
parade and what shall we do?
We must Inake sacrifices. We must
deny ourselves, not pleasures and Tux-|
ures merely, but many ordinary com-
forts, We must cut down on much of
our usual provisioning, and all unneces-|
sary expenditures, We must do all
this. and mare, in order that there
shall be no scarcity for the brave men
who must face the fire and death
which are ever present on the battle
fiells and in the trenches,
We must lend onr money and do it
now, that the nation may have no
jhandieap in the prosecution of war
We must give our money now, and sive
it unstintedly. We must invest in War
Stamps and Thrift Stamps, at once,
| Every eburch, every fraternal or-
ganization, every Jodge, club, society
And association, every school and busi-
ness organization and every discon-
nected group—must organize the War
Savings Societies et once—now—at the
next meeting, and repoft the same with
Tesults to the county headquarters, at
The Savannah Tribune office.
Most of the churches have organized
already and saving is under way; ser-
eral of the schools have started a club
in every class-room. Some of the in-
surance companies have bezun, many
of their agents pledging and saving a
stamp a dry. We have even enrolled
Nesrd brsiness houses, with small
groups of four and five, which have
started their forces at systematic say-
ins.
Tet us then, every one of’ the,20,000
and the athérs “get at it’ “put it over"
“so over the top” and round out a real
high-class job, which will cinch the
spars, already won, and bring to the
worthy citizens of Chatham county,
not the plaudits of the, people, merely,
but what is eminently ‘more desirable
and satisfactory, the silent, personal
conscionsness of work well done.
Making war Ss serious’ Iusiness and
planning to make war serious busi-
ness, Part of us are®already in the
gun of war, whilewe, the other part
must furnish the money, the labor and
the self-denial with. which means our
warriors are supported. |
The Thrift Campaisn provides you
the way to help and yet to help your-
self. 9
Tet’s not rest then, tilt enough
stamps and certificates are sold to real-
ize Chatham county’s quota of i
worth to each persom

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
2 & ISSUES ‘OPEN LETTER
Ee ee ee ee,
and the citizens of local communitie:
to assert thelr regard for the laws o
the nation which ts now calling upet
these citizens to fight to make th
world safe for democratic government
‘One hundred thousand of the best col
vored youth of the land hare responded
to the call of the country and are pre
Paring to give their lives in its de
dense and In support of the cause upon
which ft is embarked. They in com-
mon with their many millions of white
fellow citizens have the right to be
eve that while they are risking, and
‘Yt need be, sacrificing their lives for
their country, that their country thru
dts highest spokesmen should call upon
officers sworn to obey the law to make
an honest effort to prevent the dis-
graceful practice of lynching Negroes
whenever It suits 2 mob to engage In
this exercise.
We regret to say that honest and
determined efforts on the part of of-
ficera of the law to safeguard Negro
prisorers from mob violence when
such mobs thredten the lives of Ne
gtoes are rare. Rare, too, is the gov-
ernor of one of the states in which
most lynchings occur who has the
courage sincerely an‘ honorably to or-
der the apprehension of lynchers. Re-
cent occurrences of this kind, which we
are only too glad upon opportunity to
comend, are the actions of Governor
Stanley of Kentucky in defying a mob
and protecting hy his own body a Ne-
gro prisoner, of Governor Manning of
South Carolina at whose orders seven~
teen Isnchers are now under bonds of
nearly $100.090 awaiting trial, of Goy-
ernor Beckett of North Carolina in
preventing a Iynching hy personal ap-
peal and of Governor Dorsey of Geor-
gia in offering a reward of five hun-
dred dollars for the apprehension of
the members of a lynching party.
Governor Mye of Tennessee, after nine
weeks delay, has offered a rward of
five hundred dollars for the apprehen-
sion of the criminals who burned 2
Negro at the stake ou February 12.
We are aware of many instances In
which sherif's and their deputies have
made honest attempts to protect their
prisoners. We are aware, we regret
to say, of mauy amore cases where 10
puch attempt has been mmade. Too of-
ten the only thing that happens when
one ofthese eases of lynching is
brought te the attention of the sover-
nor of certain of the States where the
victim Lappens to be a Negro, is either
that nothing whatever is said or deuce
or that a perfunctory statement iy
made by the governor that be is per.
sonally opposed to lynching and mob
“violence.
We subwit te yea and to the peopli
of the United States that at this critt-
ex] petiad of the nation’s history mere
serbal assertion by a governor or
sherit! Of av belief in Jaw and order
and of opposition to Iynchins fy not
suificient, What the occasion demands
ix action and not rhetoric, and’ the
Kind of action that is required is ae-
tual apprehension of Iynchers, ‘The
American public has not failed to note
that when a white man, geensed of
disloyalty was Iynched in iltinois, the
federal government was extremely ac
tive and that siateen persens have
been indicted, This procedure, whid
we greatly commenil, is in striking cot
+ trast to that practiced in the ease o
the lynching of a Negra, Wé are no
+ unaware that your olfice may take th
position, that it has no right to iuter
fere, This position has recently bees
taken also by three governors of state
Vin letters in acknowledgement of pre
tests agahist Iyuching made by thi
Association, We quote trom a lette
of April 25 from Hon. Theo, G, Pilh¢
Governor of Mississippi:
“Under the system of Jaw in Miss!
ssippi, the Governor would have n
jurisdiction in this matter. After th
Iynching has been committed it is th
duty of the Grand Jury of the count
jaue anger at the perpetration of un
mentible erlmes against women. Tht
| tacts show that at least three-fourth:
;of all Iynchings in recent years har
had nothing to do with attacks upol
{ne Person of white women, but on the
‘contrary, the lynched Negroes have
im acussed of all kinds of crime:
from serious ones to the most trivia
offenses,
That citizens of at least one of the
‘states are fully allve to the seriou:
national peril involved in the practice
of lynching fs attested by the organi:
zation in March of the Tenessee Law
and Order League for the suppression
of lynching. While this organization
realizes that southern white men must
take the largest responsibility for the
continuafice of lynching, since lynching
of Negroes has occurred mostly in the
‘southern states, it must be evident to
all good citizens that Iynehing must
‘now as never before be regarded as 2
matter-of natfonal concern. ‘The na-
tional aspects of the case are well put
by Bolton Smith, a prominent eltizen
of Memphis, Tenn., whose telegram of
April 23, sent by lfm as Secretary of
the Law and Order League, to Goyer-
nor Rye of that state follows: ,
“The Iynching of Berry Noyles at
Lesinzton, Tenn., April 22, cannot but
sow disunfon among our people, un-
dermine the moral of our Negro
troops, and Iesen the effectiveness of
our propaganda amonz colored people,
for food production and conservation
and produetion. It will therefore tend
to prolong the war and inerease the
price in dead and wounded we have
to pay for victors. I have heen visit-
ing the Texas camps and witnessed
the self-sacrificing work of our splendid
young men who are preparing ta tisk
all for us. It fs strange our own pes:
ple will not help them exercise the self
control - necessary to gixe a Nosro
charged with crime such a, trial as ofr
own laws provide. The government of
the Tnited States is controlled by
southern men, It has called the Negro
to the defense of the colors and the
American people will demand that a
race thus honored shall be granted the
justice of a fair trial when acensed of,
crime. We all know when guilty sheer!
is no doubt of full punishment. ‘The
Lesington Ipnchers eaniiat hare real-
ized the extent, to which their act
furnished aid and comfort to the en-
omy. As secretary af the Tenessee
Law anr Order Leazue, organized to
stop Ipnching, Durge you to issng a
proclamation to our people pointing’ ont
the treagonable effect of such act amt
that you call upon the President of
the United Stotes as comminder of the
nation to reinforce your werds, for’ it
is plain we are threatened with a na-
tion-wide increase of this crime”
From the hest information available
to this association ft can( assert with
out eanivecation that the colored yiea-
ple of the nation are Joval to ite pur-
poses in this as in every other crisis
of the nation’s history. They ‘have
