The N.A.A.C.P.Issues Open Letter N.A.A.C.P.Issues Open Letter 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.

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. GIRLS' AUXILIARY Y. M. C. 'A. The girls ausiliary Y. M. C. A. will give their first, spring picnic at Hope Crest.

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. GOOD SAMARITANS AT The Good Samaritans will attend service in a body tomorrow.

NUMBER 37 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- PAGE-TWO 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. The General Education Board has arranged to send all of the teachers in Rosenwald Rural Schools to the Tuskegee Summer School and will pay the railroad fare to and from Tuskegee Institute of all such teachers selected by the county superintendents of education and the State Rural school agents for Negro schools. These together with the regular summer teachers and soldiers will make about 8000 persons enrolled for study at Tus Royal Seabrine AT WHITE THE IDEAL SPOT FOR PICNICS. FROM CITY.

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."

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.

Among The Masons Let the Others Follow 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. Mrs. S. S. Butler, Royal Matron Mrs. L. Reeves, Royal Treas. Mrs. M. P. Bell, Royal Secv. MRS. M. P. BELL, Royal Secy. 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. Shellman Ga. May 4, 1918 I wish to announce through your valuable columns that Purity Lodge, located at Shellman, Ga., is awake as regard her duty to our government. To prove this, Purity Lodge has bought one Liberty Bond and a good number of the brothers have bought extensively of the United States Government War Savings Stamps. Hoping for you a good time and much success this year. I am Sylvania Thanksgiving The Eastern Stars had its joint thanksgiving Sunday April 21 at St. Andrew M. L. church. With much enthusiasm the exercises were carried out. The welcome address was made by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Giddens. Two of the grand officers from Savannah were introduced to the audience, Mrs. Rebecca S. Taylor and Mrs. J. C. Miller. Paper by Mrs. Johnson, subject "Friendship"; "Relation of the Eastern Star to Masonry was made by Mrs. Miller from Savannah. Paper by Mrs. Lizzie Powler, subject "A true mission of the O. E. S."

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. W. E. Rowlin Lacy Ga., May 12, 1918. Yours fraternally, W. B. Riley, W. M. 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.

TUSKEGEE PURCHASED $85,00 LIBERTY BONDS Tuskegee, Ala., May 11—The workers at Tuskegee Institute have subscribed more than $5,00 worth of the Third Liberty Loan and together with the students about $4,000 in Thrift Stamps and War Savings certificates, making a total of about $9,000. In addition to this, the institute, a corporate body has purchased $25,000 worth of the Third Liberty Loan Bonds, making a grand total of approximately $5,000 invested by the school to help win the war; $50,000 having been previously subscribed by the school.

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.

STATE NEGEO BUSINESS LHAGUS It’is significant that a group of rep- resertative, well-to-do. and good-Iook- ing Negro business men fram the state- atJarge assembled at ‘Macon, Ga., dur- ing the week to discuss ways and aeons by which the many local learues ta Georgia: may be more closely fed- ‘erated and thetr common, Kindred in- terests. prommoded. . ‘Phirty years: wilt compass the his: tory ef Negro ‘business of the sort that puts Nerrees in competition with other peoples in the marked places of the wortd. Earlier than thirty years ago. we bad not gotten besond the SEI SR a ee RS rer have become so varied and so com- peting as to cause grave concern in local centers where the bids of Ne- ‘gro business men for business were never known before. In some busi- nesses at Teast, notably the industrial and straight life insurance companics. itsebid of Negro men for busines} (hitherto controlled entirely by other 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.

LEE, Chairme 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.
