The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIV The Negro And The South After The War The Negro And The South After The War EMHET J. SCOTT DISCUSSES CON- DITIONS THAT SHOULD FOLLOW BETURN OF NEGRO SOLDIERS Says Negro Is Entitled to the Product of His Patriotism and That Lynch- ing Should Be Stamped Out. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, January 23rd—The second day's session of the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference was devoted to a discussion of "Problems Connected with the Demobilization of Negro Soldiers." The principal address before this session of the conference was delivered by Dr. Lammett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, who has been serving in Washington, D. C., since the outbreak of the war, as special assistant to the secretary of war, advising in matters affecting the interests of the colored soldiers and colored Americana generally. The Tuskegee Negro conference, the fame of which is now national wide, was inaugurated by the late Booker T. Washington and meets annually at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. The conference has always sought to encourage Negro farmers and the Negro people of the South generally in forward looking directions. The same policy of helping colored farmers in practical ways and of seeking to cement friendly relations between the two races in the South has been and is being consistently carried out by Dr. Robert B. Moton, the president principal of the institute. In discussing the subject, "The Negro and the South After the War," Dr. Scott took a broad view of his situation and sought to allay and to disipate the spirit of unrest and apprehension which seems to obtain in the South with reference to the return to this section of discharged Negro soldiers. Incidentally, he revealed the plan and policy of the War Department to gradually demobolize the thousands of Negroes in the Army as rapidly as suitable civilian employment can be found for them. Extracts from his address are: "Peace hath her victories no less renown than war," and the fact that hundreds of thousands if not millions of soldiers must soon be discharged from military service and thus be changed from a military to a civilian status, presents a problem requiring the best thought for its proper handling and solution, and indeed makes the problem of peace equally, if not more, complex than the problem of war. At one time during the war, German propagandists would have us believe that the American Negro had neither inclination nor ability to efficiently fight under the Stars and Stripes and to fully perform his share of civilian work and military service so essential in the support of our country's program at home and overseas, but the ready response of Negro draftees to the Selective Service call, the splendid record made by nearly 400,000 Negro soldiers in camps and cantonments at home as well as in the war zone and on the bloody battle fields of France, together with the whole-souled support and numerous patriotic activities of Negro Americans generally, showed how false and unformed was that thought. The fear of German propagandist influencing the Negro against his country was shown to be unfounded, for he has remained steadfast to the Stars and Stripes although the agents of the Kaiser was actively engaged in endeavoring to cause him to forsake his country. Not a single Negro proved loyal throughout the war and his patriotism was found to be all that the country could desire. The fear that now seems to prevail in the South over the Negro's return after the war is, in my opinion, equally without foundation. This is the Negro's natural home and here the masses of the race will continue to re side, it is to be hoped, for many years, in peace and profitable industry. The Negro soldiers will soon be returning to their native land—the only land they have ever known, in defense of which they have been willing to give their lives in time of war, and in the reconstruction of which they are eager to give best energies in time of peace. Thousands of them volunteered for military and naval service regardless of the Selective Service law, and they will rreturn no less anxious to perform their full duties as citizens and to live in peace and profitable industry. The in return only full protection of the law of their land—the guarantee of Editor Mack, grand lecturer of the Knights of Pythias of the state, was in Dublin last week. Dublin is his old home. For six years he was editor and proprietor of the Dublin Enter prise, the first and only Negro paper of that place and Laurens county. Among his distinguished friends there are Messrs. J. J. Jenkins, J. W. Jenkins, Chas. Maloy, J. M. Dasher, Dr. H. T. Jones, Dr. U. S. Johnson, Dr. Reynolds, Dr. A. E. Taylor, Prof. W. L. Hughes, Rev. A. T. Speights, and Rev. R. W. Walker. Editor Mack spent Saturday night at the home of Mr. T. C. Kinchen, one of Laurens county's most prosperous farmers. Mr. Kinchens has several hundred acres of the finest land in that county, a beautiful home and every thing in the line of produce. He is the acceptable president of the Ocoonee Fair and a very successful official. Sunday the editor worshipped at Sandyford Baptist church, the guest of the pastor, Rev. Dudley, of Macon. Rev. Dudley is one of the leading ministers of that section of the state. Sandyford is an historic church, beautiful and spacious and is situated on the Dixie Highway. It has a very large following and on the third Sundays it reminds one of a big camp meeting so large is the crowd. Editor Mack addressed the audience and was most cordially received. Among the officers of the church are Mr. Thomas Lewis, Mr. Goff, Mr. O'Neal, Mr. T. M. Klinchen, Mr. Tobe Brown, Mr. Peter Oneal, Mr. Z. B. D. Conyers and Mr. Swangin. POOLER, GA , NEWS Miss Bertha Witherspoon will enter Central Park Institute Monday. Rev. J. H. Blount who has been residing here for several years, has moved to Savannah. The death of Mr. Shavers of Piney Grove church was quite a shock to the community. A pleasant surprise was tendered Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., pastor of the Pooler circuit of the A. M. E. Church, after class meeting last week. He was given many valuable presents as a token of the appreciation of his members for the good work he has done. The curch will shortly install one hundred chairs and a small organ. Miss Gladys Porter, teacher at the South Valley school, is now teaching the children to cook. Rev. C. C. Cargile will preach at St. Paul church on February first at 11:30 a. m. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The returning Negro soldier will not be the foul wretch from which to run in terror, or a plague from which to flee in fear, as some seem to think. He will return both physically and mentally benefited by reason of his military training and experience during the great World War and naturally, he will return to the Southland and other sections with a broader vision and appreciation of American citizenship, as well as new ideas of what Liberty and Freedom (not license) really mean. He has clearly shown his eager willingness to discharge the duties and responsibilities of American citizenship, and it is revoutly hoped that fair-minded Americans in all parts of the country will calmly and justly recognize the fact that he is, therefore, entitled to all of the rights and privileges which the laws of our country offer to all other classes of our common citizenship. Primarily, the Negro is the means by which the people of the golden Southland are nourished and strengthened through his diligent efforts to coax out of the ground life sustaining food products. According to the last official census, Negro farmers in the South numbered 893,370, constituting 14 per cent of the total number of farmers of all classes in the country as a whole, while in point of population the Negro race constituted but 10.7 per cent of the total population of the United States. The Negro is the greatest labor factor in the South. His loyalty and patriotism remain unquestioned. A race composed of such people cannot be other than an asset. It is true that here and there the undesirable and criminal abound, as in all races you will find them, but the sane, law abiding, industrious Negro is legion, and millions of them have justly earned the respect of their various communities. Have no fears that when these soldiers to whom I have referred return (Continued on page eight) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. SATURDAY JAN 25TH, 1919 Refuses to Appoint Odd Fellow Receiver JUDGE SAID WOULD JEOPARDIZE INTERESTS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND MEMBERS Said He Would Not Issue Injunction Because It Would Cause Order to Cease Functioning and Hurt Body. Philadelphia, Pa., January 13th—The Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows met here this morning at the headquarters' building of the order, corner of Twelfth and Spruce streets. The meeting was opened in due form, and the death of the late grand director, George H. Mays, was formally announced. A committee was appointed to take suitable action in relation thereto. The officers having been elected in New York last September, were inducted into their offices. For Grand Master Morris, the grand secretary, James F. Needham, administered the oath. In turn each of the other officers read the oath of office and were formally declared installed, the official roster as completed being as follows: To fill the vacancy caused by the death of Grand Director Maws, the Sub-Committee of Management unanimously elected Robert T. Thomas, of Pensacola, Fla. Thomas is district grand secretary of District Grand Lodge No. 27 (Florida), and had the endorsement of the executive committee of the district grand lodge and of Frank P. Gadson and J. S. LaRoche, respectively, treasurer and president of the endowment bureau of the district grand lodge. Shortly after the convening of the Sub-Committee of Management, one W. L. Houston and one Henry Lincoln Johnson, followed by a heterogeneous retinue, entered the building, some crowding the elevators and others stalking up the stairway to the third floor and to the door of the Sub-Committee of Management chamber, where they were confronted by Grand Secretary James F. Needham and John C. Asbury, one of the attorneys for the Sub-Committee of Management. Assuming an arrogant attitude, the two who essayed the role of spokesmen defiantly demanded that they be permitted to enter he chamber "to install these offilers who had been elected in New York in September, and to take charge of the building, funds, records and effects of the order." Grand, Secretary Needham and Attorney Asbury resolutely informed (Continued on page eight) Peace Celebration Negro Business Men LEADING NEGROES AND WAR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS TO BE INVITED TO SPEAK Great Parade and Peace Arch to be Among Features of the Big-Celebration fir Returned Soldiers.

NUMBER 19 French General Speaks High of Negro Troops French General Speaks High of Negro Troops GENERAL GOYBET SAYS HR WAS PROUD TO HAVE BEEN THEIR COMMANDING OFFICER And That He Will Never Forget The Irrestible Dash and Heroic Push of The Colored American Regiments Company E, 372nd Infantry, S. P. 179 France, American E. F. Via New York, December 16, 1918. Enclosed herein is a copy of General Orders issued by the French Division for the information of the 371st and 372nd U. S. Infantries, colored regiments, that were attached to this Division of the French Army during the war. Being a Savannah boy and a member of one of these regiments I would apreciate very much the appearance of a copy of said orders in the columns of the "Tribune." Thanking you in advance for the same and with sincere good wishes for you and the staff, I beg to remain. General Orders No. 245 On the 12th of December the 371st and 372nd Infantries were placed at the disposal of the American Command. It is not without profound emotion that I come in the name of the 157th D. I., and in my own personal name, to say farewell to our valorous com-rades of battle. During seven months we have lived as brothers in arms, sharing the same works, the same fatigues, the same dangers. Side by side we have participated in the great Champagne battle which was crowned with a prodigious victory. The 157th D. I. will never forget the irresistable dash, the heroic push of the Colored American Regiments, on the "crete des Observatore" and in the plain of Monthoths. The most formidable defences, the best organized machine gun nests, the most artillery barrages could not stop them. These elite regiments crossed all of them to the super diadain of death and thanks to their courageous devotion, the Red Hand Division, during nine days of hard struggle, always held the lead in the historic advance of the Fourth Army. Officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the 371st and 372d Infantries, I respectfully salute your glorious dead and now I bow before your banners which, on the side of the flag of the 333 R. I., conducted us to victory. Dear Friends from America, after you have crossed the ocean anew, target not the Red Hand Division. Our pure fraternity of arms has been embled in the blood of the braves. These ties will be indissoluble. Keep a loyal memory of the General, as proud to have commanded you and remember that his recognition and affection is acquired for always. General Gustaf Commanding 157th Division.

Their Charm New York, January 20th—The really chic person has her lingerie cut and fitted with the same care that her frocks and suits are. The lines of the undergarment must possess that perfect silhouette so that the outer garments may conform with the latest whim of fashion without the awkwardness of an ill fitting something under neath. For the woman who can afford to pay lavish prices for these reminders of the charm of feminine love liness, there are a variety of models on © McCALL The Low Waistline sale in shops for the month of January. But the most exquisite ones are those which are made by hand, and the home dressmaker may find ample opportunity to express her individuality when she makes her own. There are so many dainty touches which may be added, such as tiny buds and frills of lace and even bits of fur. These ultra fancy affairs are of course indulged in only for dressy occasions. It would be quite hopeless for the woman of moderate means to attempt the daily wear of these fine and perishable things. And even those which are worn but infrequently must be kept with the greatest care. If the fabric will not stand washing, benzine should be applied to the satin straps and a little powdered magnesia to the lace. They should be aired and pressed and then laid away with the utmost of care in a perfumed box or drawer, and when the next time to wear them comes they will be as fresh as when they were now. Black Silk Embroidery on Flesh Georgette A dating contrast is the one that has been attempted, that of dainty flesh colored Georgette crepe with black silk embroidery and black silk cord. This creation, the creation being an envelope chemise, has the flesh Georgette as a foundation. The upper part which forms the camisole is almost entirely covered with these, weird black motifs. Around the waist is a silk cord of black, and over it all is O McCann a black net thing cut on the same lines as the chemise and merely slipped on as an afterthought. The idea of two colors in lingerie is highly favored. One of the leading shops has an attractive window which is filled with undergarments of a delicate blue and yellow. The ribbon which is used to trim them, is a double faced ribbon which is blue on one side and yellow on the other. Especially in boudoir caps may this play with colors be enjoyed. Spanish Influence in Gowns It has been stated that after the war the States would open an exter THE -SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY JAN. 25TH. 1919 sive trade with South America. Whether this is realized or not, one thing is positive, that is the Spanish influence that seems to have taken possession of the most exclusive designers. The one that impressed most was an imported model of black tricolette which falls straight from a round neck and is girdled with self material in the form of a narrow sash. The long sleeves are of black lace and the entire gown is finely embroidered in green and peacock blue silk floss in delicate sprays that traverse the material lengthwise. Really, quite an unusual thing is this semi evening of fair that just recalls all the allurements of sunny Spain. Both the models shown here bring in the Spanish atmosphere in the low waistline. The first is a simple frock for Misses, and because of the simplicity of line it can afford wool embroidery of warring colors which are brought into harmony through artistic efforts. The other is a more sophisticated model and has the embroidery over the entire dress. The odd way in which the sash is applied is the big feature of his distinctive frock. Between Season Hats Satin, the old standby, has not forsaken its duty and is back with all its gloss and freshness to serve as the material for the hats which are merely known as the between season hats. Temperament in gowns is often heard of, but temperament in hats, rarely. Yet a famous modiste insists that in a satin hat one can become quite as temperamental as in an intimate ten gown. This is very true, for with the fabric that has a delicate stateliness, that is ever present in satin, one may shape it in a myriad of ways and even tuall discover the most becoming and fitting form of one's face. Therefore, a satin hat should be the smartest part of one's costume. Time is extended to January 31, 1919 on account of the "flu." But every member make the last lap on time.

Saturday January 25th, 1919 The distinguished William Dean Howells, eminent author and man of letters now sojourning in Savannah, has contributed to Harpers Magazine, February number, a very interesting and comprehensive account and description of the glories of Savannah. The article is full of vivid narrative and historical subject matter concerning the city and its people from the time of Oglethorpe's coming, and as one would naturally expect, pays strong tribute to the genial and unaffected courtesy and courtliness of Savannah folk. Altogether, the story is uniformly correct, in the main, and makes delightful reading. We wish to call particular attention to that portion of the glowing account which relates to race relationship here and elsewhere in the Southland. He says: "What was apparent was the absolute submission of the colored people in all public matters to the rule of segregation. I never witnessed any attempt to transgress it, but the compliance was for me so nearly painful that when I got back to New York it was a relief to sit down by a chocolate colored fellow-man in the first street car I took. Yet I am bound to say that in the very wide-mindedly imagined city which Oglethorpe founded there seemed no abuse of their superiority by the white people, and there was apparent willingness to keep the blacks ignorant or intellectually inferior. The Georgia State College is one of the several institutions which testify to this fact, and if I speak of the Cuyler Street School for training boys in manual, and the colored girls in the domestic arts, it is because the visit I paid to it in company of certain Savannah gentle folk was practical proof of what I say." * This startling indictment of the grade and temper of Savannah's two foremost Negro educational institutions, would not have been surprising to us if we had not known that this competent and unbiased critic meant to observe upon them. He has said volumes in the above. There is no definite policy of cultural training at either. Both institutions are directed apparently along a vague line of least suspicion and least offense to an imagined local white public sentiment against Negro higher, intellectual training. At both places the manual and industrial training are inefficient, to a large extent shamming, and of little or no ethical and cultural value. We do not doubt, that at both places, the cooking departments which provided a lunch for Mr. Howells and his party, made the best showings of any features which met his skilled attention. The skill of the pupils (or most likely the teachers) who prepared te food was not acquired at the schools. Mr. Howells had, no motive of discrediting the schools or their teachers. He did not know them. He merely, and most incidentally, stated a sad fact, that those of us who desire advancement for our people very much deplore, especially because we feel that the prime responsibility is large by with those actually in charge of the work. With regard to lynch law and lynchings in the south, we are not sure just what Mr. Howells means when he says: "These have their causes, if not their reasons, in the jungle-lust of the criminals, etc., *." He certainly must know that only a very small percentage of those lynched, now-adays, are charged with the so called "unmentionable crime." In fact, it has come to be very rare that this is the cause of lynching. Negroes are lynched for any infraction of the law, and often on very trivial charges. While we will not attempt to con struct the intent of the distinguishesa stultor's language above, we will dare THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY JAN 25TH.1919 to observe on our account that the "jungle-lust" charge is grossly exaggerated, and amounts to very little. in fact, in the problem of race relationship in the South, except as an excuse which the South preaches and publishes at times in justification of lynch law. The figures for lynching for the last two decades will show that as an excuse it is largely mythical. Underlying lynching in a broad and true sense, is the consciousness of mobs that before the bar of justice the white man has all the advantage and that if they will only charge their black victims with rape or attempted rape they will escape entirely. It is this fact, and not an uncontrol lably enraged conscience, which lies at the bottom of lynchings. The ballot in the hands of Negro men will elect men who will enforce the law. impartially; and they will break up lynch law. RETROGRESSION The proposal before City Council to abandon the old plan of maintaining four city physicians, two white and two colored, is clearly a step back ward. We are not in the least interested in the two positions possible for colored men under the present plan. Both the incumbents could doubtless earn a satisfactory livelihood and competency if that were taken away. We are, however, intensely interested in the poor of this city, who have been served so well by the city physicians. We are certain the regular reports made to the city by the city physicians will indicate that an immense amount of work has been done by them among people who would not have had the medical attention they needed and deserved from the city had such services not been available. We presume all four of the city physicians are conscientious and are devoted to their duties as city physician. We know, however, that form teh beginning of the present plan down to the present time, and particularly at the present time, the Negro city physicians have served the city honorably and industriously, and have earned well their pay. The city, too, through these men, has been able to serve the poor people who needed these services more economically than it otherwise could have done. Now, the proposed new plan would place all this work in the hands of one man, paying him the $3,000 which at present is divided equally among the four at $750 each, per annum. One man, no matter how conscientious and no matter what his pay, can not possibly do the work. The needy cannot and will not all come to a central office or dispensary, and the incumbent could not begin to make the calls which would be necessary for those who could not come. The proposed, two, follow up nurses (for which Council has just appropriated $1800), could not even bridge the gap which would be made if the four physiicians were dispensed with. They do not possess the necessary expert knowledge. The incumbent, if the new plan is inaugurated; will most likely be a white man. We may as well be frank, and say that colored people generally do not feel that Negro patients and applicants will be accorded treatment and service to match the present efficient service rendered by the Negro physicians. Much as we dislike to have to put in this purely racial, and hence discriminatory, element, we can not avoid the truth in a matter so vital. If a white city physician had the task of looking after the interests of Negro charity patients, and even, if those patients had the faith and confidence to apply, we do not feel, and nearly everyone white and black knows, that the same patience, fellow feeling, personal interest, studied skill and perseverance, would be accorded their cases as they now receive. We are saying this plainly and openly because in the light of all precedent and example of the past, this would be true; and the health of a city and the care of the city's poor are too grave questions to quibble or temporize over. We can, even, see how it might be desirable to employ one white physician instead of two, paying him the full salary of the two in the interest of efficiency of service. We can, even, see how, on the same score, one Negro physician might be well enough paid to give up his private practice and devote his entire time to the city work in the interest of efficiency. These, perhaps, would be more efficient than the present method; but they would entail a larger outlay of money, because if present efficiency is maintained, provision must be made for visiting a great many patients in the course of this duty, hospitals and visiting nurses, notwithstanding. We do not wish to see Negro city physicians dispensed with, and we hope Council will investigate among the rank and file of colored people and be convinced of the high efficiency of this service at present, before it acts to change the plan as regards colored people. If Council wants greater efficiency, it can provide the community visiting nurses to work in conjunction with the one, centrally located health department, paying the physician a salary sufficient to enable him to devote his entire, long working day to this charity work and enabling him to make personal visits in urgent cases. This would seem to be a good plan, properly executed, but if it is effective and serviceable to colored people, who need this city help most, the nurse and physician must be colored people. There is no doubt, of this. Savannah has been singularly blest in the matter of plague and pestilence. This has been due to the skill and un yielding vigilance of its health officer. All the people of the city, black and white, will naturally look the same to the health department, the of which must be judged by the vital statistics, mortality tables, and the like. The health department wants efficiency in every sphere, because it knows that the health of the black and white are mutual and interdependent, the one upon the other, to a large extent. If the proper course is pursued, Council will be careful to be certain of its move, before a change is made from the present efficient plan. THE MILITARY UNION Corporal James J. Edwards, son of Mrs. Sarah Holmes of Thunderbolt, who returned to the city last week after being mustered out of the army at Camp Gordon. Corporal Edwards did not get into the real fighting, his segment being stepped at Brest, France, a short while before the grisaille was signed. Corporal Edwards battalion was aboard the transport Kashimo which crashed into another troop ship off the coast of Scotland, which collision resulted in the death of about three hundred soldiers aboard the ship which the Kashimo rammed during the storm. Corporal Edwards reports that the colored troops aboard is ship were commended for their gallantry.

Gently the stars are shining Down on her silent grave, Where lies our dear one sleeping, The one we loved but could not save. We often sit and think of her, When we are all alone, For the memory is the only thing That grief can call its own. More and more each day we miss her; friends may think the wound is healed, but they little know the sorrow that lies within our hearts unsealed. Father, Mr. A., R. Dantignae Mother, Mrs. C. A.

I had the pleasure of reading three copies of your most excellent paper, and I am compelled to say that it made me somewhat sad from the fact that so many of our friends have gone the way of all flesh. I know that we all are to go the same way, but it brings to us a sad feeling. At the time that I wrote to Mr. Cole man it seemed to me that we would be POLITICAL POLITICAL 1st. Class Musician Paul Steele called at any time by an Austrian 88. That was in October, and from reports it wag about the time that he died. I received the papers of the Savannah Tribune from his wife, Mrs. Josephine Coleman, which told of his death and the death of many others. Before I go further, I feel that I should tell you something of our regiment, known as the "Black Tigers," who are characteristic of a set of troops called "shock troops." It is none other than the "Fighting 371st." regiment, which was mustered in at Camp Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina. We had the distinction of being the first regiment of the National Army to head in France, the 309th, of New York, the 372nd, of the District of Columbia, Tennessee, Ohio and Massachusets being already here when we arrived, yet we were brigaded with them and the 370th of Illinois. At that time all troops had to undergo a certain amount of training under the French and we took ours like the others and made such an impression that to this date we have never been brigaded with any other regiment of the National Army. It was in the Champagne secteur that our regiment won its distinction and fame. On the night of September 21th, we were following another Division in the Champagne secteur. We were being used in support and reserve. But the real time came beginning with the night of September 27th when we took up the fighting ourselves. I can never forget the hill that our regiment had to take in the beginning of the fight. The hill has come to be known as Hill 188. For two hours our regiment remained lying on the ground, under a most deadly shell fire from the Germans, and not a man changed his position. I thought that the whole regiment would be wiped out before another hour. At last our Colonel rose, opened both hands and made the sign to go forward. Every man rose with the command and forward they went. Men were falling all around, yet the regiment pressed forward, with the 372nd, on its right and the French 325rd, on the left. In the course of the day the Germans had been driven more than two miles and the sun went down on "The End of a Perfect War." All went well the next day and the days following, for the regiment had indeed won its fame. In the fighting it had driven the Germans eight kilo metres, capturing nearly six hundred prisoners, six cannon, one hundred and fifty-one machine guns, two villages, bringing down three hostile planes and taking munitions and property which were worth more than two million dollars. All the while the Division drove in an arrow shape formation with our regiment at the point. If the other, two regiments of the sides had driven as vigorously as our regiment would have done twice as M. GREEN, 1909. PAGE SIX Men may talk about the 369th, the 370th, or any other regiment, but none of them did any more courageous and tenacious fighting than the 371st. You will, of course, be pleased to know that there are many other Sayan nah boys in the 371st. aside from myself and that that all of them did their due share in holding up the honor of Chatham county. Today the General is honoring our regiment with more than fifty Croix de Guerres and one Legion of Honor. Best-wishes to you and may your paper still go on until that perfect day calls all to Him who knows and guides the destiny of all. Paul J. Steele, 1st Cl. Musician, 371st. U. S. Infautry. Mr Ed H. Burke, Dear Sir: While waiting for an answer from the club, I thought I would tell you "hello." Iwrote to the Home Boys, and thanked them for relieving me of paying dues, the moment I heard of it through my wife. I am well and hope that you are the same. I am still with some of the Savannah Boys but only one member of the club, that is Corpth. Lloyd Paige. He is still just as jolly as ever and sends his best regards to all of his friends.

They have always presented me with different gifts since I have been their pastor, but I must say their gifts have been larger this year, which tells me they highly appreciate my labor among them. I feel that the Lord has been with us in this earthly Zion for these six years. So I feel very proud of my people and from the way they are caring for me. I believe they are proud of me. Now, I must say a word in spite of the ban being on. Our sisters and brethren did not forget their duties toward me as their humble servant. The president of the Mission, Mrs. C. Bennett, and Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Jenkins, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Jackson and others together with the deacons presented me with a gift of $31.50 for Christmas, of which I feel very proud and I feel that they are very glad that they were able to do so.
