VOLUME XXXIII
Larger Educational Fund For Negroes
SO ASKS THE SOUTHERN UNIVER
SITY COMMISSION
Says that with Fairer Tretment South
Can Retain The Negro
The Southern University Commission for the scientific study of race questions, created six years ago by the action of eleven southern state universities, has just published its first report. Meeting twice a year to plan and discuss its investigations, the Commission has spoken little and studied much. Its only public utterances have been three open letters to the college men of the South, all of which have been widely approved by the southern press. These letters are embodied in the present report.
The first is not only a strong protest against mob violence, but is an urgent appeal to college men to lend a crusade "for law and civilization." The second urges college men to work for better schools for white and black as a present necessity for the welfare of the entire South; but it pleads especially for "a larger share of school funds for the Negro on the ground of the common welfare and common justice. He is the weakest link in our civilization, and our welfare is indissolubly bound up with his."
The latest letter considering the causes of this migration, admits the South's inability "to compete on a financial basis with other sections," but contends that "the South can easily keep her Negroes against all allurements if she will give them a larger measure of those things which human beings hold dearer than material goods * * * fair dealing, sympathy, patience, tolerance * * * It pays to be just and kind both spiritually and materially. Surely the South has nothing to lose and much to gain by adopting such an attitude."
The present report makes public the scope of the Commission's study, and the minutes of the regular meetings, with their record of discussions of race problems with leading men of both races who have been invited to the various sessions. There are also valuable committee reports of investigations made. Gov. Brough of Arkansas, who was the Commission's chairman while a professor at the State university, outlines the plan of work in an able paper presented at one of the earlier meetings. Dr. Scroggs, of Louisiana, has a careful historical study of the Negro's civic status, with present-day applications. Dr. DeLoach, who was, while a member of the faculty of the university of Georgia, chairman of the Commission's committee on economics, has a convincing report of the economic results of the university's fine agricultural extension work among Negro farmers; a report of interest to all who have the welfare of the South at heart.
Dr. Foster, of the University of Alabama, is the present chairman of the commission. The other universities represented are those of Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi. Dr. Dillard of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, Dr. Alderman and Dr. Barrow, presidents of the universities of Virginia and Georgia, and Dr. Mitchell, former president of University of South Carolina act as an advisory board to the Commission. Copies of the report may be had on application to Dr. W. H. Hunley, Lexington, Va.

The other day a brother was complaining because he had never received any preferment in Masonry and charged it all to the statement that he had never had a chance to do anything in the lodge. We have heard this remark a great many times and it is always the excuse of the lazy man. The man who never had a chance is the same one who is always waiting for someone to come around with the proverbial silver platter. Masonry is full of chances and good ones, too. All that the brother has to do who wants a chance is simply to go up to lodge and try to be of some service. No man ever failed to receive Masonic recognition and preferment who was doing what he could to advance the cause of Masonry and be mindful of his fellow man. Masonry is a reciprocal institution. You get out, of it just what you put in. Therefore, if you do not put anything in, do not be disappointed if you fail to get anything
A real pert young man who had not been a Mason very long went to visit a lodge in a neighboring city. When the committee presented itself he asked to see the charter. One of the committee who was somewhat of a wag went and scared an Eastern Star charter and showed it to the young man. He looked at it and said that it appeared to be all right and proceeded with his examination—Ex.
Theoretically, a Mason should be as much at home in one lodge as another. However, those accustomed to visiting many lodges agree that scant courtesy is afforded a stranger in many of the Chicago lodges. Failure to greet visitors cordially can be excused in the case of a large lodge on the ground that members are not acquainted with each other and cannot distinguish members from visi

Dearborn lodge has introduced what appears to be an excellent method of dealing with visitors at a large lodge. Worshipful Master Uebele as appointed a fraternal courtesy committee to greet visitors and to see that each, immediately after he signs the register, has pinned to his coat a badge in the form of a letter "D" and within the letter the word "Guest." No doubt the members of the lodge will see that every visitor so labelled is made to feel "at home."
Masonic "Misfits"
Many brethren are obsessed with the glamor of Masonic office. To pose in the limelight, garbed in gold embroideryed regalia, is the "sole aim and object" of far too many of present day Masons. Preferment by merit is relegated to the scrap heap and the great personal sacrifices which Masonic of fire entails is made the vehicle for self-aggrandizement and personal advertisement. Office seeking brethren are far too numerous, and are quite in contrast to the true Masons that accept office to further the interests of the craft, and to promote the happiness of their brethren. The brother who loves Masonry, and is sincere in his desire to promote its principles, can easily distinguish the office seeking class, but it is the careless, annual-attending brethren that permits them to be advanced in rank. We cannot call them "rulers in the craft," although clothed with brief authority and high sounding titles. They are misfits Masonically and fraternally.—Toronto Freemason.
In Ireland are many and very strong and prosperous Masonic lodges, and their provision for the care of the or phans of Masons and destitute members of the order, is the equal of that in any jurisdiction in the world and superior to many of them.—Masonic Tidings.

RESOLUTIONS
Wheresas, on the morning of May 30th in the stillness of the early twilight, death invaded our ranks and took from us our beloved brother, Samuel S. Sellers. He lived a life of usefulness to his fellowman and to God. He suffered the torture of a disease which baffled all medical skill and came to a timely grave at almost three score and ten years, filled with honors and renown.
He was a man of many remarkable traits, given to hospitality, public spirit, conservative, extremely reliable, a great lover of education and things pertaining to the uplift of his community and country. By perseverance, industry and economy, he accumulated some of this world's goods, but uppermost in his life was his devotion to his church and things spiritual.
We, therefore, as members of Sumner lodge, number 10, of A. F. and A. M.. Baxley, Ga., resolve, first, that we bow in humble submission to Him Who doeth all things well,
Resolved, second, that we extend our condolence to the bereaved family.
Resolved, third, that through the death of Brother Sellers we feel that we have lost a great leader from our ranks, his family a devoted husband and father, his church a faithful member, and his country a loyal citizen.
Resolved, fourth, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our lodge, and that a copy be sent the Savannah Tribune for publication and that a copy be tendered the bereaved family
Respectfully submitted,

Baldness Conquered
A veteran business man, who was almost completely bald and had tried numerous tonics, lotions, shampoos, etc. without benefit, came across, while on a journey, an Indians' recipe by which he grew a complete crop of healthy, luxurious hair that he now possesses. Others—men and women—have reported. remarkable hair growth by the same method. Whoever wishes the recipe may obtain it free by writing to John Hart Dritteln, BA-222, Station F, New York, N. Y. Or obtain a box of the ointment, Kotalko, made according to the perfected recipe, at the drug store, ready for use.
Indians' Secret of Hair Growth
In a vast number of cases, when hair falls, it roots in poor, not dead, but remain imbedded in the scalp, nibbling the needles bulbs, needing only fertility. The annual zakahna shampoo, alcoholized hair tonics, etc., are of no avail in such cases. The Indians' ointment nourishes the hair and stimulates the growth.
Kotalko fertilizes the scalp and induces hair growth in every case possible; wonderful results reported. For men's, women's and child's hair, if you are bald, or looking hair, or have dandruff, you should try Kotalko. It is a pleasure to observe the starting of new hair and its steady in resus until a prolific growth supersedes thin hair or baldness. Cut out this notice; show to others who want beautiful hair. The recipe is free. This is genuine.
Rheumatism
No matter how long you may have been suffering, nor how severe the pain in your joints or muscles may be; no matter how many liniments or other preparations you may have tried without benefit, you will be astonished at the quickness with which comfort is restored by ANDOUN The Penetrative Anodyne Cream
Distress ceases after the very first application of Andolin, because of its remarkable rapidity in action and power in effect. It does not blister. It proves beneficial where other preparations fail to do the slightest good.

"Lookout" Yells Negro Who Routs Twenty Of The Enemy
SERGT. Wm. BUTLER, ONE-TIME ELEVATOR RUNNER, RESCUES HIS LIEUTENANT AND FOUR MEN GERMANS HAD CAUGHT
Kills Four in Face of Fire; Wins the Coveted Cross of War
WITH AN AMERICAN NEGRO CONTINGENT ON THE FRENCH FRONT, Aug. 23—"Look out, you bush Germans, I'm comin'!" yelled Sergt. William Butler of New York as he leaped from a shallow pit in advance of the firing trenches and trained his automatic rifle on the enemy.
Butler, who was an "indoor chauffeur once upon a time, "came" with such good effect that he liberated his white Lieutenant and four American private from the foe's clutches and killed at least for Boches, badly wound ed a Prussian officer, who later died and put a score of Boches to ignomious flight.
He concluded his "private war" by pursuing the Germans right up to their own line and nonchantly tossing hand grenades into their dugouts, though at the time their barrage was biting the earth all around him.
Butler's exploit, for which he received the Groix de Guerre, rivals the performance of Henry Johnson and Neodham Roberts, privates in the same regiment, the first report of which was cabled to The World last May. It is additional proof of the fighting qualities of our Negro soldiers.
The engagement in which Butler displayed so splendid a role took place in the early morning of August 18th in the regimental sector near Maisons de Champagne, northeast of Stemen-hould. Following a sharp artillery preparation, the enemy had annuled a strong raiding party, which, cutting in from two sides, managed with aid of a cage barrage, to isolate four of our front line combat post. In one of them Lieut. G. R. Jones stepping over to right a star-shell, was "jumped" by five Bochs. He and four of his men were dragged out of the trench and shoved toward the German lines, along a disused communication trench in no man's land. On the way theiders, with their prisoners ahead of them, passed within fifty yards of a little advanced post in which Butler crouched with two privates.
"Don't fire, Butler!" Lieut. Jones cried. "Not yet, sir, but soon," the Sergeant sang out. The Germans were so flustered by this colloquy, which seemed to them to indicate an ambuscade, that they wheeled about towards Butler's hiding place. Lieut. Jones immediately signalled his four men to follow him and clambered up the side of the trench. As the five started back toward the American lines the Lieutenant cried: "Now let 'em have it, Sergeant."
Butler shrieked his warning to the "bush Germans" and stumbled through the darkness to a point from which he could enfilade the trench they were in, and cut loose with his automatic. The Bochés "made up a train," as the Negro troops say, and without loss of time they kodaddled homeward at top speed, leaving their officer wounded, and four privates killed in the trenches.
Butler chased them to within their now wire, and doubtless slew some more with his hand grenades. He rambled all over the sector in search of gray-green prey, returning to the combat post only when he was completely exhausted. "Guess I just ran amuck," he said afterward.
. Lieut. Jones, whose presence of mind won him the highest recommendation, also received the Croix de Guerre. An hour after the fight Capt. John Outwater of New York, commanding the company against which the raid was launched, heard groans just beyond our barbed wire. He crawled out there and found a German officer with his arm torn clean off by Butler's bullets, and otherwise wounded. Capt. Outwater carried him to the American trenches. Before he died the Prussian gave Capt. Outwater who interrogated him in German, valuable data about the enemy dispositions of troops.
Capt. Outwater's courageous conduct gained him the War Cross.

Plump and Pleasing
Wouldn't you love to be the picture of health you see so often in others—but have never yet been yourself on account of your thinness. The difference between you and what you yearn to be can easily be overcome. We all know that some thin people are healthy but the great majority of the underweights are apt to be weakly nervous, desitified.
If you are one of these unfortunates, stop plining for the sadly, needed health and plumpness. Go about getting them in the right way and right away. Nothing ever was so easy. CERTONE TABLETS will work wondrous change in your appearance. You can then "chuck" the padded clothes that so unsuccessfully tried to fill out those humiliating hollows so characteristic of the thin and scraggy frame: For CERTONE will abolish that which went to make up your "uglication." Watch yourself grow plump and pleasing once more. Watch that sallow scragginess vanish. Watch your face take on its natural lines again. When CERTONE waves the magic wand of proper nourishment—nature's way of repairing exhausted blood and vitality—of strength-making and body-building. CERTONE is NOT a patent medicine but a special nourishment preparation—composed of the highest form of nutrients extracted from certain high calorie foods, precisely combined, compressed in tablets. CERTONE is bringing pounds and pounds of health, beauty, and self satisfaction to a multitude of users. Be like them—quit being a bean-pole. Treat yourself to—CERTONE. It is pleasant and easy to take. TRIAL BOX 500, REGULAR SIZE $1.00 You can get CERTONE at any drug store or

any engrignment upon his rights by the wayside; the nannies with their capricious kids were numerous on both sides of the road. Swine, cattle and dogs also made a good contribution along the wayside, but with all of this there was nothing special or eventful in our trip homeward until we reached Beech Hill church about 10 o'clock. The cemetery surrounding the church fills one with peculiar solemnity, which at night is changed into fear and dread because of the old stories related in childhood about the spooks. A profound silence pervaded until we passed the cemetery and was only broken when an object occupied the middle of the road in open defiance of all who would dare pass. The boldness of the object led someone in the party to exclaim "That's a ghost!" and for fear the auto would become excited together with its occupants and leave the highway the car was brought to a slow speed and with steady approach to the object the lights of the car brought the object in bold outline, which revealed to us a stubborn, combative and pugnacious bull, which was only persuaded to yield the road by the smoke from the auto.
It pays physically and mentally to get out from the city and be a rustic for a while to observe nature in her beautiful and wonderful operations, more especially because of the great demand for food stuff during these serious war times. An invitation extended to myself and my from Mr. T. S. Ball of Grove- was accepted and the trip, most enjoyable through Chatham, Bryan and Liberty counties brought us to our destination, which was the home of Mr. Ball.
The home is supplied with all the necessities and many of the luxuries of life. It sits back about 200 yards from the road and is imperfectly seen through the beautiful grove of pine, oak and cedar trees. The crow of the rooster, the cackling of the hen, the nackling of the buck, the indescribable noise of the turkey, the constant music of the guinea, the low of the cow the bleat of the goat, the neigh of the horse, all of these were evidences of the exuberance of life that pervaded the home.
Mrs. Jamerson, Willie, Alene Juanita and Dorothy dismounted the car and declared themselves by their actions a complete emancipation from the confines of the car. The children had just been ushered into a new world as the transition from the urban to the rural life was so great. They were completely at a loss as to what to do and where to go. The swing was the first attraction for the girls. The well and pump attracted Willie, while Mrs. Jamerson, Mrs. Ball and the Misses-Ball were busy in their salutation and words of welcome and appreciation.
The Midway causeway was not vociferous by the somniferous and humbrious squeak of the owl as the night had taken on the appearance of day by the conflagration of the dwelling of Mr. James Miller which was burned to the ground while he and his family were attending divine worship at Midway church. A few hours more brought us within the city limits where electric lights greeted our eyes with an effulgency which could be appreciated only by those who have just ushered out of darkness.
Dr. Jamerson and his friend, the Rev. S. T. Reed, who accompanied the party, were lost for words to respond to the cordial welcome extended by the host. After a relaxation and a very profitable conversation, the welcome news was broken that dinner was ready. The dinner would have appeased the appetite of the most pretentious epicurean. The avidity with which the dinner was consumed was a compliment to Mrs. Ball, and Misses Virdie, Minerva and Ruth. The dinner was prepared by both practice and theory of the knowledge acquired by Miss Ball at three institutions of learning, Dorchester Academy, Spelman Seminary and the Ga. State College, so blended that the dinner was not far from perfection. An added joy to the dinner was the congenial and helpful conversation indulged in by Mr. Robert Ball and Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ball. Mrs. Theodore Ball was the recipient of congratulations on her promising nine months old baby, which weighs not less than 25 pounds.
Cut Out the Jumps!
Have you "the jumps"—or other manifestations of nervousness? Are you easily confused or startled at unexpected noises or sounds? Do you worry or fret over trivialities? Then look to your nerves. Something is radically wrong with them.
Upset nervous conditions usually result from some exhausted or impaired Sodily organ, which does not properly give it allotted service. Go after the offender through that great recuperatory center of the body...your stomach. Ask your drugsist for DR. CHARLES TONIC TABLETS. They are the very best of preparations to soothe and smooth the racked and exhausted nerves of nervous prostration victims. Those who are debilitated; those who suffer from the grooming burden of liver and kidney trouble, will once more turn toward health, by using this sollenid formula.
The great wreckers of women's delicately balanced nervous systems as exemplified in the special illies peculiar to their sex—will be quickly relieved by DR. CHARLES TONIC TABLETS, which also present the gift of rich red blood to the anaemic. The TONIC will also go far to arrest and vanish dyspepsia and many wasting diseases that lead to consumption.
Our party shared with Mr. T. S. Ball on his prospective harvest of the abundance of cotton, corn, peas, potatoes, velvet beans and peanuts. The happy surroundings and the interesting conversation allowed the time to slip from us unobserved, but as there is a certain break in all conversations, this break is filled by means of a glance at the face of a watch, and adhering to this custom, our attention was called to the fact that it was 6 o'clock, allowing Mrs. Jamerson one hour to catch and prepare the children for our homeward journey. This was an arduous task for her. They had to be run down, begged to get ready for' the return trip to town, for they were having the time of their lives at this beautiful country home.
There are no injurious "come backs" to DR. CHARLES TONIC TABLETS—and they will achieve marvellous recuperative results, where other tonics and reconstructive such as iron, strychane, arenic, coin liver oil, often fail. Sale and pleasant to take.
