Detroit, Mich., Oct. 9 h—Plans for the conference on the Negro in Industry, to be held in this city under the auspices of the National Urban League, October 15 to 19, are rapidly reaching completion.

Miss Mary McDowell, head resident of the University Settlement, Chicago, a woman of international reputation who has just returned from overseas will speak on the new aspects of the servant problems. Miss Maria Ward Lambin, director of the city committee on recreation of New York City, who has made an investigation of leisure time activities for the Community Council and Association Alumnae of Barnard College, will discuss the subject of "Self-Support and Self-government in the Recreation of the Worker." May Tolman, director of health of the New York Community Council, will tell of New York's plan for health.
"Other speakers are Miss Nannie Burroughs and Dean William Pickens who will address the Wednesday evening meeting on "The Negro and Industrial Opportunity." Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Labor department, and Miss Eva D. Bowles of the Y. M. C. A. will speak on Thursday evening; Dr. W. N. Deberry of Springfield, Mass., Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, W. T. B. Williams of the Jeans Fund, 22 executives of the League, including T. Arnold Hill, Alexander L. Johnson, John T Clark, Jesse O. Thomas and Eugene Kincake Jones.
The Friday evening session will be devoted to the discussion of the organization of Negro workers. The chairman of this session will be Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago, who has been the most active Negro worker in the middle west on behalf of organized labor. John R. Shillady of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University will speak on this evening.
Among the members of the executive board of the League and interested students of the problems of race relations who will attend are L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban League; Miss Elizabeth Walton, chairman of the New York Urban League; Walter A. May, president of the Pittsburg Urban League; J. Garfield Lemon, ex-field worker of the Savannah Urban League, and John T. Emlen, secretary of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia. Recently, agents from southern planters and chambers of commerce have urged Negro migrants to return south to alleged better conditions. As a result of this conference it is hoped that plans will be made to investigate all such claims and give the findings publicity.
The discussions for the conference include health, housing and recreation for the workers, community program for industrial efficiency, how the Negro preacher can aid in a welfare program, and the like.

TRYING TO KEEP NEGRO
PAPERS OUT OF MAIL
President Wilson Puts Soft Pedal on Efforts of Congressmen
Washington, D. C., Oct. 9—According to Hugh W. Roberts, President Wilson has put the soft pedal on the efforts of individual members of Congress to punish or suppress the publishers of radical Negro periodicals in the United States. He says: "Sometime ago, as is recalled, Representative Byrnes of South Carolina proceeded in a speech before the House against the Menace and the Messenger. Subsequently he took his complaint to the Attorney General His argument was to the effect that the publications were radical in the extreme, and renew bloody outbreaks tendency to renew bloody outbreaks between the white and black races.
"Later, Rperepresentative McDuthe of first Alabama district, incensed by the contents of an issue of the Messenger, interviewed the Postmaster' General in an effort to secure the suppression of that periodical. He pointed out a cartoon representing a Negro driving an automobile thru masses of fleeing whites, the Negro driving and shooting into the frantic crowds. Men falling were soldiers bearing service stripes. He pointed out editorials in which the editor congratulated the Negroes for their successful opposition to mobs in Washington and Chicago. He also pointed out a paragraph in which it was said that in certain emergencies "a bullet is far more efficacious than a thousand pervers."
Mr. Burleson agreed with Mr. McDuffie that the publications were inflammatory. Regarding the interview the Alabama member said: "The Postmaster General told me that he had been considering and was still considering the advisability of denying the mail to the Messenger and Menace. He stated that the Attorney General was also giving thought to the subject. He then declared that the President had suggested that no such action be taken at the present time. It is evident that it is another case of 'watchful waiting.' The Postmaster General was entirely sympathetic."
"From the Postmaster General I went to the department of justice, and interviewed Mr. Lamar, who incidently is an Alabaman. Mr. Lamar stated that the department was giving the Negro periodicals earnest consideration. He stated that were the department to proceed against the publications they would in all probability protest on the ground that they were simply fighting against lynching. As every man opposed to lynching, Mr. Lamar that the publishers of the papers could arouse a great deal of sympathy thru out the north.
Mr. McDuffie withheld a statement setting forth his opinion as to why the President suggested a postponement of action against the Negro radical, in all probability, however, the President was moved through fear of the "unrest" which prevails everywhere in the United States. It was probably his opinion that it would be wiser to suffer the danger of such publications precipitating other riots thrust out the United States than force the radical Negro element of the north into the ranks of rebellious policemen, striking labor, pro-German agitators, sleepless I. W. W., extreme socialists and professional anarchists.
Due to the danger of sovietism, bolshervism and actual revolution in the United States, the president, as indicated, is moved thru desire to compose the discordant element rather than crush them with an iron hand. There are many members of Congress who believe the president is on the proper track. There are others who compare his course in the present emergency to his course with Mexico, a course apparently characterized by a lack of "punch" and aggressiveness in general.

The wedding which was witnessed by an unusually large number of friends from the city, was most picturesque, taking place on the family's private pavilion which extends out over the river, the surrounding romantic effect of the scene being enhanced by a full silvery moon shining down upon the clear waters below.

The skirt had a tunic of Georgette combined with marcho lace, forming a front panel of the lace and side draperies of Georgette. The court train of bridal satin was 'left' into the waist line with a rope of pearls, and edged with bridal net ruffling and pearl banding. 'At the end of the train, three hearts were formed with the ruffling and pearls. The veil was fan styled, held in place by a bandeau of pearls with a cluster of pearls hanging from the left side.

Negroes Take Over Casket Factory
COMPANY IS CAPITALIZED AT
$25,000.00
Only Concern of its Kind in Georgia
Owned and Operated by Negroes
Waycross, Ga., Oct. 9th—What was considered one of the best deals ever put over by Negroes in this city, was when several well known business men took over the Waycross Casket Company, recently. For more than a year the company has been owned by whites but operated by Negroes. By the transaction referred to Negroes now become its sole owners.
The company has been manufacturing some beautiful coffins and caskets already and with the new plans to be put into effect by the new owners, the needs of all the undertakers of this section can be supplied.
About $10,000.00 was involved in the transaction which has been capitalized at $25,000.00. $15,000.00 worth of the stock is to be placed on the market at $25.00 per share. The transaction was brought about largely through the efforts of Rev. J. W. Johnson, who has been its manager for the past year. The present officers and men composing the company are J. C. McGraw, president; Rev. J. W. Johnson, vice-president and general manager; E. E. Moore, secretary; Dr. J. J. Creagh, treasurer; Carlton W. Gaines, Hugh H. Smith, Dr. H. C. Scarlett, T. C. Williams and Rev. E. A. Robinson. With these men behind it the new company will most likely become, one of the strongest and most successful Negro business enterprises in this section of the state.

The opening of Edward Waters College on last Thursday was one of the best in the history of the school. Hon. Joe. Lee made the opening address, followed by Bishop Jno. Hurst, chancelor, after which Dr. Jno. A. Gregg, the president made a few remarks telling the growth of the college. In seven years of his administration, he said, that school had registered upward of one, hundred boarders. The outlook for the school this year looks brighter than ever before. The trustee board will meet next Wednesday at which time Bishop Jno. Hurst hopes to see $12,000.00 for education.
ELIMINATION HAS NOT AFFECTED ENROLLMENT Howard Has Largest College Enrollment of Negro Colleges
-Washington, D. C., The trustees of Howard University by formal action last February decided to eliminate all secondary departments of the university including academy and commercial college. It was felt at the time that very serious inroads would probably be made upon the enrollment at the beginning of the year, October 1919, in view of the radical action thus taken. The first week's registra-
six hundred fifty-one students in cluding the college and secondary departments. The registration for the first week of school term 1919-20, including the students entering the Freshman and other classes, is six hundred seventy-four; in other words the university enrollment has held its own. The number of students admitted to the Freshman class alone this year is three hundred twenty, and greatly exceeds the registration of the Freshman class last year.
The registration of the Howard University Law School at the beginning of the term 1918-19 was forty-eight; the total number registered during the first week of the present University term is seventy-five, with twenty-five to thirty applications still pending. In he Howard University Medical School the registration for the first week of the present year is one hundred sixty-five with six remaining days during which medical students may register—a total enrollment of nine hundred fourteen in all departments of the university during the first week.
The enrollment represents the largest number of colored students ever enrolled at any institution in America in purely college and professional courses. Howard University thus starts out upon her high mission and assumes a new leadership in meeting the demand for a national Negro university, thus fulfilling her proper duty and mission as a national institution for the higher and professional education of colored youth. The opening week is an augury of the great future ahead of the university.
Elaborate physical changes have taken place at the university during the summer. Each and every dormitory room in Miner Hall for young women, and in Clark hall for young men has been newly plastered and kalsomined. In addition the university has committed itself to plumbing and sanitary repairs alone amounting to more than $5,000.00, thus assuring to each and every student a freshened room with sanitary surroundings of the most approved character.
The abolition of the Academy offered the opportunity to install modernly equipped executive offices in the Main Building. The first floor of the Main Building thus becomes a bee-hive of executive industry, the class rooms being confined to the upped floors. Best rooms for young women have also been arranged in the Main Building and in Miner Hall, thus providing for the social welfare of the young women who attend the university from the city as well as the occupants of Miner Hall dormitory.

of a herd of hogs, the property of a white farmer, trespassing on the premises of a Negro who farmed on the land adjoining. The affair occurred in the north west section of the country. According to the statement of reliable partisans the trouble started when the Negro who is reported to be a law abiding, hard working man, requested the owner of the hogs to keep them out of his fields where they were destroying th corn. It seems that this was not done, and the hogs continued to visit the fields. The Negro forthwith attempted to run them out, using sticks, rocks, etc., as weapons.

In Memoriam
REV. ALEXANDER HARRIS
October 9, 1009
"His memory is dear to his friends"
LIVING CONDITIONS AND COMMUNITY EFFICIENCY
There is always to be found the most vital relation between the living conditions surrounding any group of people, whether workers or other groups, and the moral welfare of that group. Men are not like water-illies prone to rise majestic, spotless and efficient out of the quagmires of life. Out of bad conditions, bad products, arise, except in the rarest instances, and one reasons faultily when he expects or demands any different result.
Low moral and educational standards, morbidity, industrial inefficiency and crime, all are rooted in living conditions of the sort that inevitably produce such results. Especially, then must wage earners, tollers, those that work with their muscles and their lands be judged and measured by the moral and material minimum of the community whence they come. It would be manifestly unjust and unfair to mance fro in m hoesehomewoTAOIN expect efficient and honest performance from those who come from comfortless and depraved surroundings.
Every community owes it to its people, and to itself, to insure wholesome, sanitary, moral and elevating living conditions. The most fatal program of governments is that which would hold the citizens up to high citizenship conduct and service, while denying them the very opportunities of larger life which is the purpose of government.
Likewise, the promoters of big industries, planted in the midst of the workers who furnish the labor operating the big plants, should have a deep concern about the welfare of their workers, not selfishly looking alone to the efficiency of production, but in the interest of the worker himself, his family and his future, insuring Lim the deserved reward for his service.
More and more, we are glad to note, this principle of community justice to the working man is taking root and spreading over the land and over the world, so that now-a-days we are having established here and there model communities, model industrial communities, community welfare programs and the like, indicating strongly the moral advance of the builders of progress. Heretofore, the mad lust of money making blinded the successful exploiter to the interests of those who served his purposes, suborned the captains of industry to extract every iota of energy from his birelings for least pay, drove the backwoodsmen and the convict lessees to practice peonage.
During next week, at Detroit, Mich. several hundreds of people, represent Negro labor, of large industrial plants and manufacturing concerns, of the United States department of Labor, of the United States department of Health, including students of economic social and labor problems, white and black, will meet to review and to summarize and to study the conditions of Negro labor in this country. Every aspect of the problem will be considered, and we do not doubt that great good will result. Housing, health, wages, unionism, thrift and savings, and recreation are among the important topics to be studied.
Negro people furnish a large percentage (around 17 percent) of all the labor in the United States, and nearly seventy (70 percent) of all the Negroes (adult population) are laborers, and lence one can see how very vital the interests of the Negro laborer are to the industries of the country. Up to this date, President Wilson has not named any Negro delegates to the labor conference which convenes in Washington this week to discuss the labor situation of the country, although he was importuned to do so from several sources.
The Detroit conference, in some degree, will be able to atone for whatever the Negro may lose by lack of representation at the President's conference.
There is no doubt of the tremendous influence of the Negro increment in the labor situation of today, and whether it gets full and fair representation in the discussions of vital labor matters or not, it is all the time becoming more thoroughly organized, systematized and intelligent, and hence more powerful for itself. We do not believe the day to be far distant when Negro labor will come into full recognition and representation in the counsels of labor all over the world.
TENDERLOIN OPENING UP
Contrary to the pledge of Mayor
Stewart to the Negro committee which
waited-on him several days that white
women of the world should not move
Into. Burroughs. Bolton. Magnolia and Gwinnett. streets. west of West Broad street. these women are actually moving in.
There is a resolution on the minute books of Council expressly prohibiting the coming of white women into this territory. This measure was passed by a unanimous vote following a masterly address by Judge Samuel B. Adams in a public session of council
Negro tenants were dispossessed summarily by court process, not because they were not good tenants, but because landlords wanted the high repts which "tenderloiners" are willing to pay.
In a certain instance, the white women moved in before the Negro tenants could get out.
It is shameful, unjust and unlawful, that the city should allow these women to hide under cover of the Negro neighborhoods, Negro churches, Negro schools and homes.
It is said that great numbers of policemen visit these places on some business.
NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS Next week there will be gathered in Washington, the capitol of the nation, an interesting body of Negro men and women. They are convening to deliberate upon the critical social and racial problems which affect America. They meet to undertake measures to secure justice and protection for the Negro citizens as a full-fledged American. They are undertaking this perilous task because there is so great need of some positive step to secure inter-racial understanding and peace; because America is now, as it were, afame with the fires of hate, of anarchy, of riot and bloodshed. They meet because, except themselves, and one or two similar organizations, there is no organized movement to secure and establish peace between the races.
The state governments have half avoided and half temporized and encouraged the mob spirit. The national government has its hands full legislating on behalf of the people outside America, while the wolves are destroying its own.
We wish these delegates to the National Race Congress an abundant success in the serious work they are undertaking. We pray they may be able to so stir the country and the nation that the great Congress shall be roused to take vigorous steps to put down the anarchy and Bolshevism which must follow the mob spirit growing so rapidly.
Simultaneously, the 80,000 members of the National Advancement Association are using their influence to have passed a certain resolution, introduced in Congress September 22, providing for a thorough investigation of mob violence and lynching, the cause with a view to recommending such remedies as will effectively do away with such harsherism and inhumaneity.
All together, it is hoped something may come out to bring peace, some measure to make the world safe for black people to live in.
---
ASK CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE
LYNCHING
Word comes from the office of the National Advancement Association that a resolution calling for a nationwide investigation of lynching and mob violence is about to be introduced in Congress, and that many senators and representatives have pledged their votes for its passage.
The wonder is that such a step has not already been taken, in view of the alarming increase in lynchings, hunts and instances of mob violence of the past few months. These depraved and abhorrent crimes have been sweeping the country like a raging forest fire, consuming with their victims the higher instincts and ideals of our civilization. This moral retrogression, now so patent, is just what is causing the thinking, patriotic American to become arroged.
The South, through its governors, its grand juries, its police power and its public opinion has confessed its powerlessness. These crimes, including lynchings in the streets of big cities in daytime, taking prisoners from falls and from officers of the law and lynching them, lynching after convictions, show the most utter disregard for law, and the failure of authorities to punish the mob proves the inability of the constituted authority, from the governor down, to cope with the situation. Leo Frank, the Jew, had his thrust cut while a prisoner serving a life term; he was later lynched by a mob which traveled over a hundred miles to get him out of the state prison, and another hundred miles to carry the victim to the scene arranged for the lynching. It is said that members of the State Prison Commission were at the prison on the night Frank was taken, but were powerless to prevent it.
Was there ever greater contempt or disrespect for law? Is there one who will dare say Russia ever exhibited a worse example of anarchy? The Savannah Morning News of Wednesday remarked (editorially) on a news item from a Jenkins County paper which "deplored" the mob spirit pervading that county. The paper, by indirection at least conceded the helplessness of the few who would uphold the arm of the law, before the determined power of those who made mobs or acquised in their doings. The vast majority of the people are calloused of morale, if not degenerate. If this were not so, the public opinion would not ordinate and allow lynching
would play, condone and allow synching Lynching is the most barbarous institution recorded in history, and those who practice it cannot avoid the calmness of being branded the most un-moral and deplaced of mankind. We cannot deny the logic of facts. Let the national government take hold of Lynching and mob violence and eradicate it, wipe it out root and branch, and save the civilization. The mob element would, like Sampson, destroy the civilization to carry its ends. Let the good people all over the country write to their representatives in Congress, urging them to support such a measure, and thus save the nation of this consuming lawlessness and marchy.
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE S
REGISTER NOW, MEN.
The books, of Chatham county are open now for registration, and every Negro man should go down and register. There can be no excuse for those who do not do so.
Those who have neglected to pay their poll taxes from year to year are indebted to the state of Georgia in the amount for which they have defaulted. They are in debt for the benefits of government which they have received at the hands of the state, and their debt is a solemn obligation which every self-respecting man will meet, or desire to meet.
The reason most commonly urged by delinquent tax payers is that the registrar, through one subterranean or another, denies them the right and chance to do their duty. Now to a large extent this is true. The clerk under the Taxcollector of Chatham county has been very arbitrary in the matter of Negro registrants, and the Collector, who appears to be a kindly man, indulges the clerk too largely or condones his pretexts and discriminations. Scores of experiences, by colored men, competent to register under any one of the qualification clauses, have proved this charge to be true.
As we understand it, the collector is responsible finally, and he must be held to a fair and impartial administration of his office. He would have the right to delegate the authority to register men, but he cannot delegate to his clerk to pass upon questions of law regarding the fitness for registration, except where the applicant cannot qualify as to age, by not having paid his taxes or other simple delinquency. The clerk could not pass upon one's educational fitness, technical questions of citizenship, one's duties to another state whence he came, and like questions. He would not have the right and, perhaps, would not be competent to do so. We do not believe that he was selected for his competency to pass upon other men's fitness. That would clearly seem to be the collector's business. He alone was elected to do that.
The good citizens of good motives and honest intentions, will be sufficiently determined to register, in spite of the arbitrary conduct of registrars. They will not be shunted aside or bull dozed into discouragement; They will hang on and register, if they have a right to do so under the law. There is a remedy and redress for the misconduct of a public officer and it is available in Chatham county even for a Negro.
We do believe that the serious thing is the discrimination at the Court house. For proof, there are thousands of men in this city, old enough to vote, whose right to register would not be contested. There are many tax payers, whose very ownership of property, establishes a right which even the arbitrary clerk will not gain say. There are many teachers and preachers and professional men whose records in their lines will challenge any refusal of right under the educational clause. There are many, business men and working men, not included in either of the above classes, whose acquaintance hereabouts and whose good citizenship would estop any denial of their right to register. The vast majority of these men are not registered, and most of them have not tried to register. This is our trouble; this has been our undoing in the matter of suffrage. There is too much indifference and a too ready willingness to avoid a duty which it almost criminal to neglect.
is almost criminal to neglect.
Some are worse than indifferent; they have a vague notion that the whites do not want them to vide, which of course is correct, and they reason that, it will offend some of their white friends for them to take a lively interest in registration. This false sense of peace and cordiality is most contemptible. To fail to exercise a sacred duty because it would offend another who would deny that right for an advantage is basest cowardice. It is worse, it encourages discrimination, and breeds a greater contempt for our people.
It is our experience, that the manly Negro tax payer is more respected and wields a greater influence in the community than the weakling and defaulter. A good, strong, normal citizen will not need to be nursed or coaxed into doing his duty to his state and to himself and to his people. Un-un un peu pour nous nous nous nous saut mobile to carry him down to register or to vote. He will be impelled by his high sense of duty and his citizenship prerogative to do these things.
This nursing and begging, once begun, will have to be kept up with those who have made it necessary; and before full credit for little Negro registration is charged up to discriminatory practices at the Court house, we must be sure that those who affect to wish to register truly feel the desire to do so, desire to the point of sacrifice
Thousands can register under the "good character" clause, because it will be easy to meet the arbitrary requirements of the very exacting registrar, on this score. Find out what he wants and furnish it. All returned soldiers can register by simply exhibiting their discharge papers. If the registrar is arbitrary beyond this, find out what else he desires and furnish it. Maybe, he'll want the applicant to prove himself the person named in the "discharge papers." Do that.
The registrar has no right to demand receipts for poll taxes paid while one was a citizen of Alabama or Florida or South Carolina or to collect for applicant's delinquency. Georgia is not held accountable for the affairs of other states, and one is only amenable to the laws of this state from the time he enters it to become a citizen here.
If the registrar risputes the applicant's representation as to age, length of residence and the like, it would seem that the onus of disproving such representation was upon that office, inasmuch as the applicant must take an oath to qualify, and could be held for swearing falsely.
Finally, the registrar is derelict to his duty when he fails to do thus, he
SATURDAY OCTOBER 11, 1919
has failed to discharge the duties for which he has been engaged by the people of the state. He can be held to discharge the duties he swore to perform impartially and conscientiously.

‘Washington, D: ©, Oct 95-One of
the most significant moves. by fhe gov-

sending of Federal troops to Omaha,

Secretary of War Buker has issued
an order to the effect that commanging
senenals at the various army centers
may send Federal troops wherever
riot disturbances occur within theiz

It is expected this will have quite an
effect on sobering radical minds of

AMONG THE MASONS
No qualification is of such importance as that, which if correct, forms the caption of this article.
Not infrequently is the question asked as to what the requirements are to become a Freemason. The most commonly used reply, is "sign a petition, accompanied by the prescribed amount and have some member present it to the lodge for action."
How many dwell upon the more important requirements, and impress the prospective candidate with the fact that no man can purchase the first and most essential qualification? A man must first be prepared in his heart. This mental attitude no money can purchase for him.
The candidate can, however, be so solemnly impressed that his best manhood will be called into mental activity, that he will likely balk at proceeding further if he has not the right heart in him. And should that be the result, and his decision after due deliberation, what a blessing it would be to the fraternity. A man without the right heart in him is a detriment to any cause or institution of which he is a part.
It is an accepted fact that a good-natured fellow is not easily incited to fight, but that if forced to do so, puts up the hardest fight of all. Why? Good nature is the out-growth of kindness and goodness of heart. If fighting is forced upon such a one, it becomes an act of defense of right in which nothing is so enthusiastic and powerful as the clear conscience, and that a man—right in his heart—will fight, and if need be die for. And with such a spirit to prompt him, is it any wonder that he can outgeneral his adversary in the combat?
What a power Freemasonry would be if every member was "first prepared in his heart!" Brethren, just consider this for a moment (those who were duly and truly prepared and endeavor to properly impress the next applicant that the first requirement is to be properly prepared "in his heart." —Interstate Freemason.
Subdue Critical Nature
No man or woman knows when he or she may need the friendship of a Masonic lodge, and it behooves every one to be friendly in the days of prosperity.
It is an awkward situation for a man who has spent his life in indifference to his lodge or possibly in criticising it, to come to want and have to ask his lodge for help.
Every man ought to be a helper and booster of his lodge—even if he is not in exact accord with everything the lodge members do.
It is a poor recommendation for any person to possess the art of criticising everything all the time. The time is sure to come when every one of us will become more subdued in our critical natures. And the earlier the better—Master Mason.
A Big Mason
Does not necessarily measure over six feet four inches, nor weigh upward of two hundred and fifty pounds, with tiger claws three inches long, he may be only four feet four inches and leaves the scale beam unidisturbed at
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
the hundred-pound notch, and wear no emblems at all, but he hears the orphan and the widow without it being shouted into his car with a megaphone, exercises Masonic charity toward a fraternal brother, and does unto others as he would be done by, he, Masonically, is a bigger Mason in every way than Lis avoirdupois levlathan brother who lacks these Masonic qualifications.—Texas Freemason.
Masonry a Luxury
Masonry does not pretend to help those who are able to help themselves; Masonry is a luxury. It is a luxury of the fellowship. It is the luxury of the spirit. It is not the luxury of the common level, but the luxury of the higher level, which does not breed contempt through familiarity, when one brother greets another, no matter whether he is an Entered Apprentice or a Past Master.—The Masonic Trowel.
Real Masonic principles and the co-brotherhood are best understood and practiced by the Masons, of England and the United States.—"Temple Bulletin."
The Central Baptist Association convened at the First Baptist church at Gough, Ga., Oct. 3-5, Rev. W. M. Lovett, moderator. The session brought people from all over the county as never before. Mr. Mal Smith, of the finance committee reported to have raised $3,333.11 breaking all former records for the Central.
Mr. C R. Sapp, Waynesboro's popular shoe and harness repairer and a bunch of friends motored to Gough on last Sunday morning. Mr. Sapp is one of our business men who is really making good.
Mrs. Rainey Morrison of Savannah was a visitor in the the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Sapp last week.
Mr. Robert Boyd one of Burke county's wealthiest farmers, spent last week at Sylvania.
Mrs. Fannie B. Keen, of this city spent last Sunday at Statesboro.
Messrs Edward D. Phinazoe, Hurley R. Matthews, Willie Jones and McDuffey King motored to Greencut last Sunday afternoon, it is reported that something unusual is to happen in the vicinity soon.
Mrs. Maggie Smith's death was quite a shock to her many friends. She was a member of the Courts of Calanthe and a faithful worker of her church. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from Nelly Grove C. M. E. church, Rev. H. L. Stallworth officiated.
Mr. and Mrs. Rollie Mack are in the city again and are employed by Carpenter's Tailoring establishment.
The regular preaching and communication services were held at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday at Haven Memorial M. E. church. Preaching by the pastor, Rev. C. W. Protho. Mr. D. W. Carey Stewart, reported to have raised $151 Rev. H. L. Stallworth held his regular services at Neely Grove C. M. E. church Sunday and reported to have raised $06,00. Rev.

NEGRO -PROBLEM. EASIER
THAN ¥OREIGN PROBLEM
| Waterbury. Conn. Oct, $—During,
recent interview with Miss Lillian B.
Campbelt of Washington, XN. ¢., ‘she
had the following to say:
“Naturally when the South is men-
tioned the Negro, is always méitioned.
‘Thv Negro and his future constitnte
a problem, we are frank to admit, but
it is all a problem of adjustment. a
just recognition of individual ability
and merit whenever it arises, Ry
comparisons with the protfem the
North has to solve in the Americant-
zation of the large percentage of for-
eigners in its midst, I will say that
the Negro problem is a whole lot eas-
ier. Tue Negro speaks the same tov-
gue and thinks the same way as the
shite people and they have no herl-
tage or traditions contrary to the peo-
ple with whom they live,”
