Savannah Pharmacy Open Third Store
WILL BE LOCATED AT RANDOLPH AND OGLETHORPE
Company One of Most Successful Negro Businesses in City
The Savannah Pharmacy will open a third drug store here today. The new store is located at the southeast corner of Randolph and Oglethorpe avenue in a building recently purchased by Dr. H. M. Collier. This firm conducts the only Negro drug stores in the city, the other two stores being located one at West Broad and Maple lane and the other at Fafm and York streets. The new store is very advantageously situated and will doubtless have a very large patronage from those who live in the Old Fort.
The Sarannah Pharmacy which recently purchased for $20,000 the building at West Broad and Mple Ine, where the main store is located, is owned by Dr. J. E. Fonville and Dr. W. E. Moody, the former being a native of Goldsboro, N. C., and the latter coming from the state of New York. The new store will be opened to the public today.
NEGROES TO ESTABLISH
DEPARTMENT STORE
(Associated Negro Press)
Baltimore, Sept. 4-Subscriptions are being taken among Negroes here to establish a department store, which is to be operated exclusively by and for members of the race. At a meeting held at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal church it was announced that more than $15,000 had been subscribed.
The movement is partly due to a speech recently made here by Col. Charles Young, of the Utaed States Army, a Negro in which he urged Negroes to own and operate their own business institutions of all kinds. Such a plan previously had been discussed among Negro leaders here, but Col. Young's speech caused it to bear fruit.
Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Metropolitan church, is in charge of the taking of subscriptions. He said that it would not be possible to start the proposed store with less than $20,000. "It would be operated on the co-operative plan, so that the customers would not only deal with members of their race, but also would get low prices. No person will be allowed to hold more than $100 worth: of stock in the concern. If the store proves a success, the next logical move will be to establish a Negro bank. Shaw said. He believes that such a bank, with a capital of at least $250,000 can be established.
TUSKEGEE QUINTETTE
SINGS TO LARGE CROWD
(Associated Negro Press)
Bullington, Va., Sept 4—The Baptist church was crowded to the doors last evening when a quintette from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute gave a concert consisting of old plantation songs. The quintette consists of William Washington, William L. Dawson, Solomon Code, Luther Davidson, and Howard Wilson.
Prof. Chas. B. Wood of the institute introduced the singers and told something of the work done there. He also recited, "When Melindy sings," as an example of the Negro poetry. Prof. Frank P. Chism told something of the work of the institution during the war, how it was turned over for the training of 1,140 colored draffees and of how 700 of its students went overseas to fight for America. He also told of the patriotism of the colored people generally, saying that, although the Negro race comprised but 10 per cent of the people of America, 15 percent of the men overseas were Negroes. He said that no people in America deplored the recent race riots more than did the Negroes, but that during the past 11 years, 705 persons had been lynched in America of that number 724 were colored persons and 50 of them were colored women. The Negro, he said, had fought for America, hoping to win more education and better conditions for his fellow-Negroes, and the race question was one which America must face fairly.

THE NEGRO AWAKENING IN SOUTH AND WEST
Large delegation to Attend "Suffrage Session of Race Congress
Washington, D. C., Sept. 3—Word is being received from many states by the officials of the National Race Congress of America indicating that interest in the forthcoming "Suffrage Session" of that organization, called to meet in this city October 11, is growing by leaps and bounds, and its success is assured. It is especially desired by President W. H. Jernagin that the exact date of this session is kept thoroughly in mind by the people in general, to the end that the deliberations of the National Race Congress may not be confused with those of another body somewhat similar in name, also announced for this city sometime in September. The organizations are separate and distinct, (altho not antagonistic) and the program of the National Race Congress of America is peculiar unto itself in points of race protection to be emphasized and in the method of reaching the results to be achieved. Delegates planning to attend the National Race Congress will bear in mind that the convention to which they are being elected will assemble here October 7-11 inclusive at the Metropolitan Baptist church, B street between 12th and 13th streets northwest, of which Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor. Any further information will be cheerfully furnished by Prof. John R. Hawkins from the national headquarters, 902 3d street northwest.
Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary in charge of the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund for the protection of the race everywhere reports a constant inflow of subscriptions with churches, fraternities, clubs, and individuals responding generously and heartily. The recent unfortunate race happenings here and in other places have deeply impressed upon our people the necessity for the maintenance of a substantial Defense Fund for just such emergencies, and Prof. Hawkins is confident he will be able to make a showing at the October convention that will be both surprising and inspiring.
MUSIC LOVERS TO MEET

SAVANNAH. GEORGIA
Secretary Shilliady Makes Statement
GOY. NEW YORK CALLED TO PROTECT VISITING NEW YORKERS
Congress to be Asked to Investigate . the Affair
Secretary John R. Shillady of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has made the following statement concerning the attack upon him week before last in Austin, Texas, when he was severely beaten by a judge, a justice of the peace and several other white citizens who objected to his presence in their city;
"Unless Texas repudiates the statement of her governor expressing satisfaction with a brutal and unprovoked attack upon an unoffending United States citizen she will have confessed herself a lawless state.
"I went to the capital of Texas, Austin, having telegraphed the Attorney general and a justice of the peace, offering any information concerning the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which they desired. My first call after meeting with a committee of the local branch of our organization was at the office of the governor. That being closed I proceeded to the attorney general's office and conferred with Acting Attorney General W. A. Keeling.
"I offered him the fullest information concerning the purposes, methods and work of the association, handling him a copy of our most important publications. After this interview, which lasted some time, I proceeded to the adjutant general's office where I had an extended interview with Acting Adjutant General Col. W. D. Cope. I informed both of these officials of my intention to see the governor and the commander of the Texas Rangers.
"The object of my journey to Austin was to ascertain why the books and papers and other property of the local branch of the Association had been subpoenaed by a local justice of the peace and examined by state officials and to offer to these officials a much fuller record that could be obtained from an examination of the association's national reports and publications, copies of which I brought for that purpose.
In the light of these facts it is sheer and deliberate falsification for Texas mobbists to charge me with being an 'asitator' and inciting Negroes against white men.
The assault upon me, by a group of men, including a county judge and a constable, occurred after I had been hauled before a secret session of a so-called "court of inquiry" in which addition to legitimate questions, I was asked insulting personal questions by the county attorney, such as: "If you're such a nigger lover why don't you go and stay in the nigger hotel?" and personal references as to how I'd like to have my wife in close personal association with niggers."
The county judge who took part in the assault in broad daylight on one of the main streets of the capital of Texas was present at that secret session of the court and had full opportunity to hear all of my testimony. Had there been the slightest question as to the legality of my intentions and acts, it is perfectly certain that I would have been arrested in so hostile an environment.
"After the hearing the presiding judge invited me to come to his office to confer with him that night. This invitation I declined although at that time I did not think as I do now that it would have meant an assault. If not a killing in the seclusion of an unkept second story office, as my assailants the next morning were the same group that loitered about the building in which the court was held.
"While directly opposite the Hotel Driskell, I was approached from behind by a group of men in an automobile. One of them, the constable who had summoned me to the secret session the day before, took hold of my arm while the rest gathered round. Antelipating another subpoena, I waited expectantly. Instead of a subpoena I was showered with blows from all sides. No assistance was offered me on the street or when I went into the hotel.
"The Association will not allow this dastardly attack to pass undisplained. What happened to me personally is of little consequence. The law has been defamed. Bob violence which the Association is pledged to fight has reefer the sanction of the governor of Texas. The association will therefore act as follows:
1. Congress will be asked to investigate this specific assault on the ground that the governor of Texas approved a criminal assault made by public officials upon a citizen of another state.
2. Following the president of the Mooney and the Biscoe deportation cases the President will be asked to appoint without delay, a responsible investigating commission.
3. Governor Smith of New York will be called upon to demand protection for citizens of New York visiting Texas.
4. A legal committee has been appointed of Moorefield Storey and Butter the mobbists. The committee is composed of Moorfield Storey and Rutler Wilson of Boston, Chas, H. Smith and Arthur Spingarn of New York; and George W. Crawford of New Haven. 5. An appeal to the public opinion of the nation will be made through the press and mass meetings one of which is planned for next week in this city.

DISTINGUISHED WEST INDIAN
ADDRESSES NEW YORKERS
Says Black Men In Islands Treated Little Better Than Slaves
(Associated Negro Press)
New York, N. Y., Sept. 4—Rothschild Francis, a West Indian and member of St. Thomas (Virgin Island) Legislature, addressed an audience of about 250 persons last night at a Negro church; at 55 W. 138th street on the subject of the conditions of the Negro race in the Virgin Islands.
The speaker said that conditions were so bad there that the black man was little better than a slave. More than 8,000 Negroes, he said, had left the islands and migrated to this country in the last few years.
Mr. Francis said that he had recently appeared before the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate and discussed the situation with it. He said that he had been promised that a bill would be introduced providing that three senators and three members of the House of Representatives should be sent to investigate conditions in the islands. Mr. Francis said the inhabitants wanted a reorganization of their judicial and school system after the American plan.

SOUTHERN NEWSPAPERS AGAINST LYNCHING Advocates the Moving of Sheriffs to Prevent Lawlessness
(Associated Negro Press)
Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 3—Newspapers in some southern states are advocating a law to stop Lynching and it doubtless would be very effective. The law is one for the removal of all sheriff in counties where Lynching take place. This might work a hardship on a sheriff, but it would make all of them alert to prevent Lynchings.
Under present conditions the sheriff nearly always make a show of resisting a mob, but it is merely previously deliver the victim to the mob tense and nothing more. The sheriffs without much trouble and not once in a hundred times is any member of a mob hurt by an officer while engaged in taking victims from jail to be lynched. The sheriff knows the men in the mob are the voters who elected them to office. He may know them personally and recognize them, but he does not consider it his duty to endanger himself or the lives of the men in the mob in an effort to protect the prisoner.
An automatic removal law, however, would put a different face upon the matter. If the sheriff would lose his office thru permitting prisoners to be lynched the chances are that he would protect them and that there would be no lynchings.
Congress, cannot enact such a law, but the states can and the white race will be the chief beneficiary under it. The whites are disgraced more by lynchings than are the blacks who are their victims. Such a law would of course call for the right kind of men being elected to the office of sheriff. The man elected to that office would go in with his eyes open and full of knowledge of the law. Those who elected him would understand it and the mobs would know what to expect when they went to the jail and demanded of the sheriff that he turned over the keys. The sheriff who tamely submitted, as sheriff do now, would find himself out of office the next day.
COLLIER—SINGFIELD
A wedding of considerable interest was that of Wednesday evening, 8:30 o'clock, when Mr. James Edw. Collier and Miss Mary Birth Singfield were married. The ceremony, which was held at the First Bryan Baptist church, was performed by the Rev. Daniel Wright, assisted by Rev. S. T. Redd.

The party entered the church, led by Mr. John McIntosh and Miss Lucretia Smith, followed by Mr. Harry Goulrogk and Miss Lillian Singfield, of Augusta, a quoin of the bride, the men entering the church by way of the west aisle and the young ladies taking the east entrance.

Little Kathleen Thomas, flower girl, came next, dressed in white net and carrying a basket of white and pink crystallized gems. Next entered the bride, leaning on the arm of her father. They were met at the altar by the groom, accompanied by his brother, Mr. Nathaniel Collier, serving as best man.
The ceremony performed under an arch of palms and ferns, was very impressively carried out. Mrs. Emma Swangin, organist, and Mr. O. D. Williams, violinist rendred the music.
The young women, were very beautifully gowned. The bride wore a dress of white satin georgette, embroidered in pearls. The coat train which hung from the shoulders, was caught at the waist with a girdle. It was trimmed in tulle. The bridal vell, fastened with orange blossoms, was of wreath effect with high ruche in the back. She carried bridal roses with maunden heir fern.

UNTRY ACCOUNT
Washington, D.

On August 15, the Washington Post carried a story about two Negroes attacking a Mrs. Minnie Franklin, a white woman, near the carnival tents on the old Union League ball grounds. The account was very specific in its detail. It told of two squads of detectives, aided by police reserves, searching for the Negroes, of Mrs. Franklin being in hysteries when she was covered by a pistol, of her being attacked and the escape of the Negroes. The next day the Post carried the following:
"In a statement to headquarters detectives last night, Mrs. Minnie Franklin of 1301 K Street, NW., declared to her questioners, that her story of having been attacked by two Negroes was a farcicle.

AD STREET
SERVICE TO OTHERS BY COMMUNITY SERVICE
For the past two weeks the Monday night smokers at the Soldiers Club were greatly enjoyed, splendid programs being carried out. This club is the greatest treat that this city could give to the boys. On Monday the W. C. C. S. workers, Miss White and Mrs. Holsey, along with other prominent business people, viewed the parade of Victory Post from the Wage Earners Bank on West Broad street.
On last Saturday the W. C. C. S. workers carried the convale-cents from th. U. S. Marine hospital for an auto- ride, aftewards returning to the girls headquarters where they enjoyed refreshments. The Sunday afternoon program under the direction of Miss Ellis was greatly enjoyed.
The following program is being carried out with great success. Monday Sept. 1, girls' club meeting from 4 to 6 p. m. Musical program from 9 to 11:30; Wednesday Sept. 3, domestic art from 5 to 6 p. m.; boat ride to Dauiu-skie; Stenography from 7 to 9 p. m. Thursday Sept. 4, domestic science class from 5 to 7; basketry from 7 to 8. Friday Sept. 5, girls' club meeting 4 to 6; Program at Marine hospital; class in fancy work, crocheting, knitting, embroidering; soldiers' dance 9 to 11:30. Saturday 6th. report day. Sunday Sept. 7, program at. Marine Hospital. Every woman in the city is asked to avail herself of these classes, especially the young girls.
Mrs. Belcher's program was repeated last week and Miss Bertha Lee's program was greatly enjoyed at the headquarters Tuesday night. Wednesday night the ladies of the W. C. C. S. entertained Rev. Goodall, complimentary to his leaving to attend the Race Congress meeting in Washington and the National Baptist convention. The choral society of the First African Baptist church will furnish the program.
Mother's Clubs are being organized in all the churches. The following have already been organized: Ashbury M. E. church, the following officers: chairman, Mrs. Dennis; vice chairman Mrs. Ella Jones; secretary, Mrs. Ruggles; asst. secretary, Mrs. Jennie Johnson, St. Paul C. M. E. church Mothers' club, chairman, Mrs. Minnie Hill; vice chairman, Mrs. Annie Battles; treas, Mrs. Anna Burnes; secy. Mrs. Clarity Irving; asst. secy. Mrs. Ella Jones. All the churches are asked not to wait on Miss White but to organize at once. Great preparations are being made for the great mothers' mass meeting, and preparations are being made for a big community sing.
Savannah bears two more honors to her list, it is the first city in the state to have a colored girls' division established in W. C. C. S. work, the only city that the men's club is managed by a woman.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 3: Speaking before a double audience representing the First and Rush Congregational churches, Dr. H. H. Proctor continued his series of Sunday evening addresses on "Fresh Facts from France," telling of his journey thru the war zone.
"Accompanied by a pianist and a singer," he said, 'I set out from Paris one morning last month for a nine hundred mile journey thru the battle field of the big world wawr to bring some cheer to the 15,000 colored soldiers engaged in the work of preparing the permanent resting places of our 50,000 heroes who fell in France. On every side one could, see desolation, fields torn by slells, villages in rain, cathedrals partly wrecked, while German prisoners were combing the fields and repairing the ruined places. Behind, these German prisoners came the French peasants, beginning anew their husbandry. But the most impressive sight of all was that of these strong colored soldiers making beautiful the graves of our heroes. It was a privilege to cheer them in their work, but just to see with what cheer they went about their task was a greater privileged still."
GIRL SCOUTS INCREASING
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept 4-The Girl Scouts a thoroughly democratic and American organization, it favors neither color nor creed. Owing to this advantage the number of Negro Girl Scouts is on the increase, showing a splendid roll to date. Nearly 150 have enrolled under leadership especially chosen. The roster shows that the Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal church has 20 scouts, under Jessie Blair, captain.
As a mark of force of the new movement in the education of girls, a glance at the July record from National Girl Scout Headquarters, shows that during last month, 2.588 girls, new scouts, have been added to the national roll and this does not include the unregistered girls.
Holoken, N. J., Sept. 3—A colored branch of the War Camp Community Service was launched on Saturday night at an enthusiastic meeting held in Arcanum Hall, Jersey City. Speakers of prominence representing the War Camp Community Service were on hand to outline the plans to the two hundred colored men present, and all were heartily in favor of the project

Eiel child is kept for one week at the farm at the expense of the Salvation Army, enjoying the fresh air, good eats, plenty of milk, and healthful exercise. Heretofore, colored children have not been taken on these 'country weeks' and the parents plan is a innovation.

THE MOB
The rioting at Knoxville, Tennessee, its causes and its character considered, reflects the true morale of the masses of Southern whites on the present aspects of the race question.
There had been notling of the usual clash or conflict; the map sought out to be lynched was only charged with murder and was already in the toils of the law; there was no "unmentionable" crime; none of the usual elements which provoke and "justify" mob violence in the opinion of those who condone mob violence were present. A very fruitful occasion and excuse for the violent, pent-up hate was employed. Ordinary, when a lynching party is organized and the subject of the lynching escapes through being transferred to another jurisdiction for "safe keeping" the mob disperses.
Not this crowd. It stormed the jail, breaking the doors and windows, destroying its furnishings, its records and turning out numbers of persons already convicted of felonious or capital crimes. Its depravity and abandon, its absolute disregard for the institutions of law and society and civilization its unmorality and its degeneracy, was so well illustrated in the destruction of the jail and the loosing of these prisoners. It was bent on ruthless of the most typically anarchistic soft. It would destroy government. It would dethrone law and order. It would set up anarchy and tosherkish in their stead.
Helpless and defenseless as they were, Negroes in the path of these antithefts hordled were shot down whether they stood or ran. Negro homes, places of business and property were ransacked or shelled Negro women and children were driven to the woods and swamps in fear for the safety of their lives.
The searching and disarming of Negro homes by the military in perilous times like this, removing the possibility of protection, and self-defense, represents the very vilest and rankest injustice and unfairness. It places the innocent victims more and completely to the mercy of his wild and blood thirsty assailant. White men are never disarmed and hardware stores never closed to them. The arms of white men are made strong for attack, the Negroes made helpless to resist.
This is the principle upon which the police and military power proceeds in nearly every outbreak, and so the constituted authority and the government, fearing to do its simple duty of going vigorously into a solution without fear or favor and establishing order by force, temporizing with the mob by virtually delivering up its victims, helpless.
Is it any wonder that Negroes charged with crime are desperate? Is it usual that law-abiding Negroes fear to admit crowds of men into their homes and premises in times like this? Is it unnatural that Negroes should be unwilling to surrender them elves or their fellows up to the laws when they are so often taken from the law and lynched? Is it any wonder that Negroes should leave their homes for cities or migrate to the north in such large numbers
Does any thinking man blame the Negroes for turning their backs to the wall and fighting back whenever they can?
There is no use shifting the blame for migration, for acts of self-defense and the like to the doctrinaire of Negro leaders or the preachments of Negro newspapers. This will not do, for Negroes, everywhere and spontaneously, are realizing the program of destruction and oppression which is mapped out for him and which is being so assiduously executed. The facts stand out, boldly and emphatically. Negro blood is running down the streets of many cities, his homes and his stores are burned and destroyed in the rihral districts. Nothing is being done by the national and local governments to prevent it. Our nation is more concerned with starving Armenians and persecuted peasants in Russia.
These conditions cannot last, cannot endure. There certainly is no possibility of destroying the Negro and no chance or hope to reduce his field of opportunity and fair play. The country at large recognize that fact.
Equal opportunity and a fair field in industry, equal accommodations on transportation companies and public carriers, the ballot and full justice in the courts—these will not be yielded to terrorization, intimidation and mob violence.
THE REASON'S PLAIN
The address of Principal R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, in which he is reported to have said a few days ago that he doesn't understand the reason for the recent race riots which have occurred in various sections of the country, and could see no reason for the intense bitter feeling which is being manifested by white and black men toward one another, comes as no j
surprise and simply confirms the reports which have been going the rounds of the country as to his addresses several months ago to the Negro soldiers in France, when it is said that he told the men to go back home, be submissive and perfectly satisfied with conditions as they found them.
That the feeling between the races here in America is more bitter and more intense than it has been for years is manifest on every side and cannot be denied. Negroes have been beaten up, mobbed and killed upon the slightest provocation here of late and their very existence in certain communities has been most perilous. The treatment which the black man has been receiving, especially in the past three or four months, pointed to these disgrateful outbreaks which have taken place throughout the country, and it taken but very little vision to see the breaking point coming. His lot here of late, in many communities, has been one which has been almost unendurable. He has been uncommonly mistreated and persecuted without any apparent cause. He has been buffeted and kicked around until he hardly knows which side to turn and when he found himself up against the wall he was forced to lay down and be killed or fight back, which he has recently done. He has appealed to the laws of the land for deliverance, and has found it not; but instead of relief his house has been burned, his privileges further curtailed and his life made even more a thing of uncertainty.
In certain industrial centers of the north where he was welcomed a little more than a year ago on account of the scarcity of labor he now finds his existence very hazardous, because of the return of normal labor conditions and in certain parts of the south he finds his chances for a decent livelihood further circumscribed and persecution staring him in the face on every side. He has looked, walted vain. In place of conditions being bettered they have grown worse, and worked for a better day, but in Where he was mildly waved away he is now severely buffeted and kicked aside, and, in the main, forced to accept that which no other will have or tolerate. In a word, there seems to be a studied effort on the part of those who rule the land to make his life one of uneasiness and uncertainty and to allow those who will to intimidate and persecute him.
If he resents this unfair and cruel treatment and attempts to protect himself, he is advised to "clear out" or he is whipped or mobbed and the guardians of the law stand off and view the disgraceful spectacle with approval rather than attempt to stop it. In short, he is not expected by many whites to be treated as a man and if he demands such treatment he is often a marked man and is hibited down and done away with at the first opportunity.
It is this persecution which he is now receiving which is causing him to be restless, and we feel that the principal of Tuskegee knows this as well as any one else, whether he states it or not. It is true, as he says, that the Negro in certain communities is getting better school facilities but even this is nothing like it should be. As for railroad accommodation, we have yet to find any improvement along this line, but, on the other hand, this very thing has often been the source of much trouble when the Negro has demanded better accommodation on public carriers, as Mr. Moton can well testify to. The more adequate protection which he says we are now receiving is truly a myth, and instead of getting protection we see what to us is apparently a blinking at the law by the authorities in instances of lawlessness of whites directed against Negroes. The reason for the Negro's present state of uncassiness of mind is quite apparent, it is the severe treatment he is getting, and everybody knows it, even Mr. Moton, we believe.

This is to notify our friends and the public that we have acquired the undertaking business of the well known undertaking firm of A.M. Monroe Co., and that we solicit the patronage of the public. A new and
full line of coffins, caskets and robes are now on hand at the old stand, Charles and West Broad Streets. Our motto, "First class and polite service at small cost." Give us a trial. Mr. A. M. Monroe still retains an interest in the business and solicits the continued patronage of his friends and the public
White people, as a race, can better The opening of the mill will be made afford to be factional; they are many, the occasion of a big social event.
Of all the multitude of races in the United States, the Negro race has most to lose by wrangling factions. Negroes are all in the same "hole" and should all be trying to climb out of it. No one of them should be trying to dig another hole for another one of them, a hole in the bottom of a hole.
After the death of Booker T. Washington we thought we saw signs of the vanishing of Negro factions. We do not mean to imply that Washington was the author of factions but the disagreements between him and others naturally led to two well defined factional groups.
But, in 1916, less than one year after his death, "The Armenian Conference." called by Dr. J. E. Spingarn at his summer lounge in New York, was attended by colored men of all shades of opinion. The next year war was declared, and the co-operation of colored men on various war programs seemed to give ever greater promise of unity.—Wifli the coming of peace. However, old factions reappear, in both the white race and, the black race.
But the Negro ought to see that his war is not over, and will not be over for some generations yet. He is likely to face a sterner conflict in the coming generation than ever before in his history. It is no time for him to break ranks morally. The "great war" was just the beginning of his struggle for democracy.
Judging from the claims of the various spokesmen of the different factions, all of the Negroes of all factions have the same aim in view and realize the same problem. Why can they not agree to work together in the attainment of that aim and the solution of that problem, even if they do not and cannot think exactly alike? Nobody expects a whole race to always agree on non-essential and less important details,—but when they are all in the same hole, there's one main proposition upon which they should all agree; to get out of that hole. Everybody should pull and push toward the top of that hole—pull the fellow after you, push the fellow ahead of you. I would not want to get out of a hole by myself; it would be lonely. And I would not want to stay in a hole, not even with a multitude. There is but one desideratum; all together put of the hole. Somebody has got to get out first; let him. Crabs in a tub do not have to be watched; each crab will pull another back if one attempts to climb out. Do not be crabs. Climb yourself—and pull—and push.
they are large. But when American Negroes split up, it is the split of a tenth, it is a minority becoming still more hopeless, by losing the regard and respect which a united minority gains, it is a small thing becoming still smaller.
Besides, it encourages the friends a the Negro when they see him able to put petty and personal considerations aside for the sake of the group good. And the Negro's real enemies are elated when they see him unable to stick together. They know that in union there is strength, even in a minority. They know, too, how easy it often is to put confusion into the camp of those who are struggling, by tossing temptation into their midst. The Negro must thrash out his differences with as little noise as possible, and present a united front when the group interests are at stake.
Wm. Pickens, Baltimore, Md. The Southwestern Christian Advocate.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
A city is a composite picture of its inhabitants, its government a reflection of the ideals or lack of ideals of its people, its environment a study in the lives, habits and customs of those who abide therein.
Every resident of Savannah is a contributor to the environment which is to influence the new generation. Each person helps to form the environment for somebody else, if the environment is good, the effect will be good, if it is reverse the effect is the reverse.
Those who grow up in a community are influenced by its atmosphere, the people of a city are the creators of that atmosphere.
The development of a wholesome community is the first step involving the proper environment, the shifting into discord, petty jealousy, whether personal or political, the cultivation of the thought that your neighbor is not only your friend but your partner in the conduct of the affairs of the community.
We want community spirit, proper environment and the social spirit to work properly with this as our object the people of Savannah should co-operate with us in making Community Service permanent.

AMONG THE MASONS
Many a craftsman lives his life under the erroneous impression that being a good lodge member constituted a good Mason. His adherence to ecclesioped Masonic virtues sets him in a groove, comfortable enough, consistent enough, so far as fidelity to his fraternal obligations are concerned, but within that narrow scope of action the broader vision is unformed and restricted. Only cursorily does he appreciate and adapt the gospel of light, only faintly does he act upon the principle of doing to others what he would have others do to him. Does he ever rouse himself to engage in the effort to make the world more hospitable for others? Does he ever analyze the fact that if Masonry were fraternal only it never would have survived? Education, business life, private life, are all connected importantly with Masonic life, and it has been truly said that the practical linked with the ideal is the element that has made Masonry imperishable.
It is not merely because of simple prejudice or direct enmity that we neglect or forget our duty to others. Narrow personal aims, involving soft and family, obscure and banish the appeal, always in force, to bestow here, there and everywhere the thoughtfulness and attention that may benefit and elevate our fellows. Invariably it is the genuine Mason who evens himself to meet the exigencies and responsibilities of practical, everyday life, who meets the real call of the work-a-day world and recognizes good Masonry and active citizenship and harmoniously interchangeable terms. Every relation in life should show useful and timely acts, and in the present climax of reconstruction, when forces in action are combating powers for evil more tenaciously than ever before, every honest and earnest Wilson should engage in the fray and labor for new and telling victories for the welfare of the human race.
The. kinship of humanity is the religning note of the hour. Arrogance and selfishness must be put aside. Every negative action delays the enlightenment of the struggling masses. Every system that enriches a few at the cost of the deprivation and sufferings of the many casts new kindliness and obstacles in the paths of the majority. The virtuous pride felt in certain benefactions is not all that is expected of Masons. Confining fraternal sentiment to the recesses of the ledgeroom does not enlighten it.
darkness, nor alleviate the condition of those who need at least fairness and kindness. Theory and symbolical pleals are all right in their places, but to lay aside regalia and go forth in working clothes once in a while to practically help forward the world movement to burst the bonds of ignorance, strife and wretchedness would result in the broadening of our facilities and ideals and the advancement of the race. In doing this every Mason would come to
realize that he is working for something that will outlive the mere space of his years, and give root to thought and action that will make an impression on generations to come. To draw humanity closer and closer together, to infuse sentiment of heigh moral worth and potency, to teach to all the full vivid significance of Brotherhood is indeed to fill the mission to which we have devoted our lives as Masons and as men.—Masonic Chronicle.
Any brother who can advance in Masonry and does not do so, makes a great mistake. The longer he delays his step the greater will be his regret that he did not act earlier once he does take it. In times of stress, especially such as the world is now passing through, every added bond of Masonry is greatly to be desired and prized. Neither a man nor a Mason can stand still. He must either press forward or slide backward.
\* \* \*
The man whose heart does not thrill to the touch of the glad hand of Masonry has never had his heart touched by the sublime precepts which it teaches.
Masonry represents brotherly love, relief and truth, and brotherly love was never needed more than at the present day in the great schemes of reconstruction.
It is better to be 100 per cent in the spirit of Masonry and zero in the unwritten work than to be 100 per cent in the unwritten work and zero in the spirit of Masonry.
If Masons would practice in life the precepts and lessons they are so constantly taught in the lodge room, there would be much less of bitterness and acrimony.
The man who thinks he is a Mason and persists in doin gthings no gentleman will be guilty of, is far from real Masonry, and at best can only think he is a Mason.
You don't want a man in your lodge that you can't take home with you. Think when recommending a candidate - Masonic Voice-Review.

RESOLLTIONS
We, the committee on resolutions, in memory of our friend and member, have adopted the following: Whereas, almighty God in His wise judgment has seen fit to remove from our midst our friend and brother, James Carter. We realize that we have lost a faithful worker and an ardent Christian, one who was always ready and willing to serve whenever asked. In every service he was present and at his duty but, let us not think him as dead, but asleep. Sleeping in the sweet sleep of death and remembrance that it is our loss but heaven's gain.
To the members of the bereaved family we wish to express our sincere sympathy. You with us have lost a jewel. His place in our church as well as your home can never be filled. He has finished his course and has taken his place in heaven where we all hope to meet him some day and where parting shall be no more. Sleep on, dear one, Sleep on and take thy rest; We loved you well, but Jesus loved you best. Be it Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and also a copy be kept by the secretary of the Sunday school. Be it further Resolved: That a copy be sent to the Savannah Tribune to be published.

ELLIOTT—My dear mother, Phoebe Ann Elliott, most noble, and devoted mother, deceased Aug 30, 1918.
The month of August again is here
The saddest to me of all the year:
It was a bitter pain, a shock severe,
To part, with one I love so dear;
For the golden gate was open
A gentile voice said come
And with farewell unspoken
Mama sweetly entered home.
Her departing words were.
Jesus the very thought of thee;
That sweetness fills my heart.
More sweeter than it is to thee.
And in thy presence rest
Stiles—In fond remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Annie Maria-Stiles, who departed this life September 1st, 1918.
Gentle, and fair, and sweet,
Yet firm thy loving hand,
For twenty years, with steady feet.
And loving care, thy little band
Thou didst control and keep.
Unaided save by God alone
Who watches o'er the fatherless
And now, you too, have joined the throne.
And left your brood all grown and strong.
We do not wish thee here, mother,
As if the place where thou art gone
Is worse than this. Thou art not alone
For loved ones here and loved ones
there hast thou.
And though thy frame we cannot see
We feel thy hand, we hear thy voice,
We see thy spirit beckoning on,
And our sad hearts rejoice.
Rejoice because thy race was run.
I rejoice because the crown is won.
And now you sit with your loved ones.
The Father and the Son.
