Emmett Scott For Negro Militiamen
Washington, D. C., April 14th—The recent order of the War Department authorizing the organization of Negro Militia men in several States, has prompted the Hon. Emmett J. Scott to write to Secretary of War Baker on the question in the course of which he says: "The Negro population of the District of Columbia constitutes about one-third of the entire population. In like proportion, it pays taxes. Why can it not be represented, the inquiry is made, in like proportion in any military organization formed for the protection of the citizens of the District of Columbia? Does the new law authorizing the new National Guard state that certain units must be white? There are now but two white companies mustered. The District's quota falls short by four companies. There are sufficient regularly enlisted men in the Second Separate Battalion to form more than two companies of this quota with a minimum strength of sixty. The Second Separate Battalion can muster two companies of one hundred each within two weeks, and within three months, it can muster a full battalion, if premitted.

Candidates Won't Declare Themselves
Only Two of Seventeen Ans. Questionnaire
N. A. A. A. C. P. Wants to Know Their Stand Concerning Negroes
The two candidates who replied to the Association's questionnaire were Senator Harding and Pondexter, the former stating that it was not consistent with his views to take up the categorical questions asked by the Association, that conventions are called upon to enunciate platforms and policies and that candidate selected must be expected to stand on the platform thus made. Senator Pondexter stated that he was "in favor of maintaining the legal rights and opportunities of all our citizens, regardless of color or condition." Despite the repitation on March 12 of the questionnaire, no further replies have been received except acknowledgments of the receipt of the questionnaire by secretaries of fire of the candidates.
"The questions asked by the Association on behalf of the colored people of America" says the Association in its statement, "are regarded by colored voters as vital national issues to twelve million American Negroes. Failure to reply to these straightforward questions will be regarded by the colored people as a distinct evasion of the issues upon which they feel deeply."
The questionnaire was sent to the following men: Herbert Hoover, William G. McAdoo, Governor Goodrich of Indiana, Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University; Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer; Senator Hitchcock, Governor Cox of Ohio; Senator Warren G. Harding, Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois; Senator Hiram W. Johnson, Senator Miles Pondexter, Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, and General John J. Perrling; Senator Pomerene, James W. Gerard, Senator Underwood, General Leonard Wood.
Following is the questionnaire as sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to presidential candidates:
"If elected President:
1. Will you favor the enactment of laws making lynching a Federal offense?
2. What is your attitude toward the disfranchisement of Americans of Negroes: (a) will you advocate that Congress enforce the 14th Amendment and reduce the representation of states which disfranchise their citizens or (b) will you advocate the appointment of United States Commissioners to enforce the 15th amendment?
3. Will you endeavor to bring about the abolition of "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic?
4. Will you withdraw armed or other interference with hate independence of Haiti?

Women's Meeting Strikes A Snag
Suffragettes Came Out Strong At Meeting
Stormy Session Held Monday Night At Asbury Church
The women's mass meeting called Monday night at Asbury Methodist Episcopal church, to form a League of Women Voters, was one of the hottest and most furious meetings, male or female, held here for some time. The house was virtually packed with women in every walk of life with here and there a man to be found in the large audience.
It seems that there were two reasons for the unusually large attendance. First was the advertising of Miss-Lucy Laney, head of Halnes Institute, Augusta, who was scheduled to make the principal address, and the other was the fight which it was anticipated would take place if a league of women voters were attempted to be organized, not that the women are opposed, to the ballot but because of the opposition to the forming of anything bordering on such a league when a suffragette club was already, in existence here, which has been doing active work among the women for the past year or more;
Everything seemed to have been going along smoothly during the early part of the meeting and nothing transpired which would cause even the slightest ripple of excitement. Lawyer F. B. Pettie was present to set the ladies off right in their all important work of preparing for the ballot as soon as the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the constitution is ratified by one more state. He was introduced by Mrs. R. S. Taylor who called the meeting to order. Mr. Pettie explained the object of the meeting, that of forming a League of Women Voters which would include all women in the first congressional district. He told of how (Republican District Chairman) W. S. Scott had appointed the officers of the league and how important a work there was to be done by the league, Mrs. Geo, S. Williams was named as having been appointed as chairman of the district and Miss Biee E. Foster was named as vice chairman. Lawyer Pettie explained all the intricate machinery which the women were to master in this drive of work and then turned the meeting over to Mrs. Williams. The latter then read the names of those who were selected as officers of the league and everything which had been planned for the evening was then beautifully gone through and there seemed to be nothing left those to do who were in charge of the meeting but to announce the adjournment and then put the ladies to work on their all-important task of getting every Negro woman of voting age in this district to join the league.
However, this opinion did not meet the approval of all the ladies present for some of them, in fact a seeming large majority, thought that further explanation of some things political hereabouts should be made and right here is where "business" picked up" and a little ginger was injected into the meeting which up to this tim appeared to be taking the u-nual course of a meeting which is "fived up." Mrs. Geo. W. Smith, president of the Chatham County Suitrage Club which for the past year has been giving the women in every section of the city points on how to vote and otherwise preparing them for the ba'ot, was the first of the objectionists to ask for the floor. Speaking to the point, Mrs. Smith said:
"Logically, there could be no League of Women Voters in a state which has not granted suffrage to its women, and thence there is no necessity for such a league until the Susan B. Anthony amendment is ratified. Any league of women voters in this county at this juncture would be nothing less than a duplication and overlapping of the Suffrage Club, already founded and active." She said that as soon as suffrage is granted to women, the Suffrage Club would naturally blossom into a league of women voters, for, said she, "We do not get gundl-eggs, expecting to hatch out turkers." Thunderous applause greeted this very pointed blow from the president of the Suffrage Club.
In a carefully delivered summary, Mrs. Smith recounted the wide activity of the Suffrage Club in this city and county; how it has carried the principles info every organization of the city, social, religious and fraternal; and how in a regular series of lectures, it has been teaching the women the grave responsibilities of suffrage and preparing them to meet the great responsibility when it shall come. Many prominent speakers have been brought before the people here, she said. "The Suffrage Club is not dead," she said, "and you are not in the habit of burying the people until they are dead." Applause following this attack upon the proposal for a new organization, clearly indicated that the great audience was with the speaker Miss G. O. McDowell, another of the objectionists and a leader of the suffrage club, then asked to speak. The presiding officer stated that the time was at hand for adjournment and she could not longer hold the meeting. Miss McDowell, who was on the floor, refused to be seated and demanded that she be heard. Her demands were met with stubborn refusal and then when she absolutely refused to yield the floor a hot tilt ensued between her and the presiding officer.

A mass meeting is being held at each colored church in the city and the conditions are put up to the people. More than $300 in cash has been raised and double that amount has been subscribed. Mrs. Caiter, a trained nurse, sent her by the Red Cross a few weeks ago; has taken a part in this drive. Let the good work go on. We need the school building and with the citizens pulling together we will have it.

She was a member of Tabernacle Baptist church and her remains were intered in the church yard.
Negro Detective Was Fataly Shot

PROVIDES FOR NEGRO NURSES
New York, N. Y., April 14—Miss Mary M. Spelman, sister-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, divided the residue of her estate into two equal parts, according to her last will, filed recently in the Surrogates' Court. She gave one part to Oberlin College to prepare girls for service in foreign missionary fields and one part to the General Educational Board of the District of Columbia to prepare Negro girls to be graduate nurses.
The house then became all excited, pandemonium reigning for several minutes until the Rev. Richie, pastor of Asbury church, said that he could not stand for such secures to be enacted in the house of God and that the meeting must be adjourned. To the closing of the meeting at this point there came objections from many sources, he Rev. S. T. Reed's objection being heard by the pastor. Rev Reed asked that Miss McDowell be heard, stating that there should be no partiality shown and that she should be given an opportunity to speak. To this Rev. Richie agree. Throughout it all Miss McDowell remaining on her feet. The presiding officer said she would not hear her and before she would do so she would yield the chair to some one else. The house demanded that Miss McDowell be heard, and Miss Bessie E. Foster, vice chairman, was called to the chair. Miss Foster called for order and when the house became quiet Miss McDowell was given the floor She enlarged on the remarks of Mrs. Smith. Her argument against the forming of the league of women voters was a most convincing one and time and again her remarks were interrupted by applause. Her talk caught the crowd, even some of the men present being thoroughly aroused by her ready wit and strong arguments hollowed out "go it kid, you've got em, they're dead," and some of the women cheering and waving their hands.
By this time it was evident that the suffrages had taken the meeting and that those behind the League of Women Voters movement had lost ground. Some one of them seeking to regain order suggested singing "Pralse God from whom all Blessings Flow" and then loudly started singing "Bless be the Tie that Binds". This caused laughter from all parts of the house and singers had gotten way into the first verge of the latter before they realized their mistake. In a minute or two the meeting adjourned.
Early during the meeting a telegram was read from Miss' Laney stating that it would be impossible for her to be present.
Handy's Band Tuesday Night Famous Musicians Ap Pear at Auditorium
The Same Band That You Hear On Your Phonograph Records
Did you say jazz music, the kind that you hear on your phonograph records? Yes, that's it. Well, the most famous jazz band in the world will be in this city Tuesday night and will give a concert at the Municipal Auditorium. It is the renowned Handy Jazz Band of New York City, composed of fifty of the finest artists this particularly catchy sort of music affords. They are on a tour of the South and are appearing in all of the larger cities, playing to crowded houses. Their performance in Atlanta several weeks ago attracted over 5,000 persons and their renditions were described by the daily papers as being the best and most fascinating ever heard in that city.
The band is in charge of W. O. Handy, creator of jazz music, who has become famous ever since he wrote that screaming piece of dance music, "The Memphis Blues" and a score of other Blues. Mr. Handy and his famous band has set all New York aglow and the theatergoers have paid as high as $5 a seat at his popular concerts. The run of his band in New York has been nothing short of marvelous and during the many weeks it appeared there the sign "standing room only," was displayed every night.
Mr. Handy's music is heard all over the world, for it is his band that played for the Grafanola, Edison and Victoria and other phonograph companies whose records have set all the dancing world a jazzing. You perhaps have several of the records at your own home by which you and your friends have privately taken a little shuffling all to yourselves or again may have heard them played at the phonograph company when you were passing and your heart was set afuttering. Its the real thing that is coming to us. Mr. Handy and his fifti* Negro jazz specialists are conceded to be world beaters in their line of music.
Among the special features which the organization is offering are F. M. Bryant, New York's foremost pianist; Walter Hinson and his lagging trombone; Jasio Taylor, wizard of the zylophone and W. G. Still, oboist. This band is the very latest note in jazzy music. It is the organization that all of the music writers of New York go to hear when they want to catch the present day swing of dance music. It is the last word in popular music, the kind that has a strange hold on all the dancers of the day, the kind that won't let you keep still.
It will be interesting to note that Mr. Handy is partner of Harry H. Place, until recently of Atlanta and well known here; in the now famous music publishing house of New York, known as Pace and Handy, which for the past year or so has made a very enviable record in the music world. Their music house on lower Broadway is the mecca for all the popular music artists of New York, especially dance music artists.
The appearance of the Handy Band here Tuesday night will be the occasion for one of the largest crowds at the auditorium in the past year. It is going to be a big social turnout and all the music lovers will be there. The concert will begin at 8:30 o'clock. In order that school children may hear these well known Negro artists they will be admitted to any part of the house except the orchestra for 25c. The general prices of admission will be: Box seats $1.50, orchestra $1.00, first and second balcony 50c. Tickets may be secured at the Tribune this morning or at the Auditorium on the day of the concert.

EXPLANATION OF S.C. PUGHLEY
To my friends and acquaintances:
It has come to my knowledge that
there has been insinuating gossip
about my wife belng arrested with a
party in an automobile on April 8th
the case having been dismissed in police
court by Judge Schwartz on the morn-
ing of the 9th, 7 -
I want it known that my wife was
in an automobile on the way to church
with a mutual friend, with my know-
Jedge and consent, the cause of the
arrest being the fact that she is very
fair in complexion while our friend is
not, and the police officer, thinking. a
colored man was taking a white woman
to ride arrested them,
I am profoundly grieved that unnec.
essary publicity should have been giver
the incident, itself harmless; and ir
fairness to my friéhds, my family and
myself, I want it known that all whe
have investigated the incident, includ:
ing myself, have found that there was
nothing improper in the automobile

POLITICS AND THE PEOPLE
The disgrace orgy and revelry which marked the Republican State Convention in Atlanta last week shows how imperative is the need of purging and rejuvenating the Republican party in this State. Without going into details about the Atlanta meeting, It was there reported that there were local wrangles resulting contests in all but three of the twelve Congressional Districts over the state, and many conflicts purely local in the counties.
Now these local wrangles are often the direct result of purely personal differences existing between local groups or factions of men. These contending groups are generally the leaders in their respective communities, and they use their influence to involve and invigle the masses of the people in fights which are theirs alone. The masses do not think, and hence are caught in the meshes of these wily leaders; and while they affect or are taught to affect to be actuated, by principle they in fact are no more than a minor part of a program of hate and spleen, directed by their leaders. We have had too much of this thing already. The birthright of the Negro suffrage and freedom has been largely lost through the strife and contention of Negroes themselves; and the white man's playing upon this weakness amongst us.
Here in the state, we not only have a good many unrepugulous Negroes directing our political affairs, but many designing white men, whose only interest in the Republican party is the spoils which ever and anon come to the few "faithful" in those states where the white Republicans are few. The worthless character of these men is largely to be blamed upon our Negro leaders. They "pick-up" these men upon occasion, to suit their purposes, and foist them upon the unthinking masses, in achieving present desires and designs.
These Negroes and their "selectmen" could best be styled as "traders" They barter and trade amongst themselves the political interest of the people they claim to serve. They disagree, as traders do, over the division of the spoils, and "fall out," and thereupon we have the scuttling, knifing, cutthroat methods so common in the political "arena" in Georgia today. The Atlanta episode, if traced back to its roots, had its inception in just this kind of soil, was born of just this ilk of men, white and black, and could not hardly be different, considering its origin.
The condition is rotten. Affairs are almost chaotic, deplorable; and the Negro's future in State politics is fated unless something is done immediately to redeem Republican politics, and rescue the political interest from the hands of these "traders and barterers" of the suffrage of the people.
What can be done about it? How can the party be rescued from these wicked, selfish professional politicians, who feed upon the ignorance and prejudices of the unthinking masses? It is easy, if only the great masses of the people are willing to be "saved", and if a few public-pirated, conscientious men will take an active hand in the drive to take back what properly and essentially belongs to the people.
In every ward, in every county, in every district, and in the state-utlarged the thinking, upright men must commence to take a part in these public affairs. It is not sufficient that they should excuse themselves on pretexts of business or express their disgust at the condition as it exits. Their citizenship duty is to participate, take an active part in the councils and plans and begin to lay the foundation for a the politics of the jurisdiction. They must teach the unthinking, and thus hasten the day when men of character, and men devoted to the interests and welfare of the great masses of the people, shall be selected to guide and direct the affairs of local politics.
The masses will desire this, and work for it, as soon as their eyes are opened to the truth.
Let the people take hold of this vital matter, in the school, in the church, in the theclub, in the fraternal order and elsewhere, not selfishly, but from higher and unselfish interest in the people. Teach the ignorant and unflinking, and they will be certain to act wisely and righteously, and help to rid the public of the political vultures and parasites which now feed upon the people and at the people's expense and at the sacrifice and destruction of their most vital and sacred institutions.
BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS
We are not going to oppose the
great principle of Woman Suffrage because of the little flasco which certain
would-be and self-appointed directors of the affairs and destinies of the people of Savannah pulled off at Ashurv church last Monday night. "Suffrage" is a big issue and will entail.
The public was invited to hear an address on suffrage by the talented Miss Lucy Laney of Augusta, and a tremendous assemblage turned out.
The great audience attracts the high popularity of this splendid woman in Sarmah. When the meeting was called to order, it at once appeared, that the scheduled speech of Miss Laney, (and it was fortunate such a distinguished woman did not come and, witness the scenes which, were enacted) was not the principal order of business, at all. Moreover, it appeared that the promoters had used the Lucy Laney card to attract a vast audience to the church for an entirely different purpose; and in a sense, both the distinguished invited guest and the great and gracious audience were "duped". Neither quite knew what was, in store for them, at the meeting, to which both were being led innocently "as a lamb to the slaughter," for slaughter it was.
We have had a great suffrage movement in this city for quite a year. Members of our citizens, both men and women, have been touched by it. The women directing it have been particularly zealous in prosecuting its high aims and in safeguarding its regularity of operation. They have reached and invited every individual and organized group in Chatham county to join in the good cause. They have excited our admiration, as they have also deserved our generous encouragement and support. And we have felt, and do now feel, that practically every woman in the city is in line with their movement, because of its splendid record, its good faith with the public, because it is the pioneer movement, and because it is thoroughly alive and pre-eminently successful.
Naturally, logically and by every rule of reason and regularity and law, this parent organization, this pioneer, this original movement must be the fountain head, the source, of all related movements in the field of Suffrage. There could be no competing, duplicating, overlapping or usurping organization in this city among our women. Every adjunct of Suffrage endeavor must have its inception, must arise in this parent Suffrage Club.
A League of Women Voters, or any similar grouping of women with similar purposes, must of necessity and for the very nature of things have its birth in this Suffrage-Clubs. No outside, foreign or disrupting influence must interfere in this worthy movement of the women, to divide the women, split them in twain, destroy unity, prevent co-operation and set the people back. We do not think the women of Savannah will stand for any such thing, simply for the sake of peace. Peace is not always desirable, and often not comfortable. We think the great masses and majority of the women of this city will stand by the regular organization, and one we have already, just as they did down at Asbury last Monday night.
The chairmanship of the Republican party in the First Congressional district of Georgia is in dispute, seriously in dispute. And the deplorable thing is, that the women who promoted that meeting at Albury and affected to accept "appointments" at the hands of any chairman of this district knew that the chairmanship was in dispute and contested. They likewise knew that it was irregular and highly improp to take a partisan stand in view of the factionalism existing. They could not even consistently justify electing to cast lots with a particular party or accept "appointments" at its hands, without first submitting these germane and fundamental considerations to the masses of the women themselves. Individuals would only have the right to submit proposals to the masses of the women; it would be the prerogative of the women to determine what they would do about it.
We have two district chairmen residing here. Neither has the right to constitute an adjunct to the Republican party; and if there were no dispute, neither could do so.
The theory of American government is that the people rule; the voice of the people speaks through the vote. Majority expression determines all our great questions. We certainly cannot organize without this expression. That very thing is "suffrage."
The rule of kings, kaisers and the like, under whom the people's wishes are not considered, is just what the world has revolted against in the recent war. "Self-determination" is the great principle and rule of life which the great victory established. Arbitrary exercise of appointive and determinative power was unhorsed forever.
"Let the people rule." "Let the voice of the people be heard." "Let the people speak through majorities, through their suffrage!"
The way the Ashbury movement sought to gain control is un-American, un-democratic, un-Christian, subversive of good order, law and right and justice, destructive of unity, co-operation and morale. It will drive many of hate good women out, through disgust, and properly so. Their methods are just what free-government, liberty and Americanism, are not.
Now, the people are going to judge, and judge correctly and courageously, rest assured about that. And the good old Public has an unfailing way of enforcing its judgment. It will "pay off." It has done so many a time before.
Suffrage and the Suffrage Club of Savannah will doubtless endure yet awhile, and now take on new life, so that when woman suffrage is extended to the women of Georgia we shall already have a strong League of Women Voters.
So, let's sing "Blest be the tie that binds," and all adjourn.
CLUB WOMEN OF GA.
Let me remind you of the approaching State Federation's meeting, July 11, 1922, 3, 11920 at Macon, Ga. Fal not to have your clubs represented, as subjects of vital importance to us as women, and as a race will be discussed. Also the National Federation will meet in Tuskegee, Ala., Aug 12-10.

To The Editor:
I remember very well meeting your Mr McClure at the Conference of the Liberals in St. Louis last December, I did not understand that he was there merely as onlooker—a Republican on-looker. Not but that he would have been perfectly welcome in that capacity. But I am under the impression he served on at least one of our committee. Maybe that was, just because he was a nice fellow, which I think he was.
Upon the first sentence of the third plank of the tentative platform put forth by the Conference, which reads: "Equal economic, political and legal rights for all, irrespective of sex or color" - Of course that is what we must eventually come to, if the Negro remains part and parcel of our population. The present abnormal arrangement in certain Southern States cannot be a permanent one, however justifiable it may seem to be. I am inclined to think it is less demoralizing, on the whole, than the system that preceded it, that of allowing the Negro the form of suffrage without the power thereof. But I do not think it would be creditable to the normal political sense of my Southern brethren to look upon the present arrangement as a finality
And I could wish that they would even now make a start toward the ultimate goal by giving the Negro who is not now allowed to vote at all, say, a third or a half of a vote. A strange anomaly this would be for America. I grant you, but hardly strong or than juster, and possessing an educational feature of the platform does not go beyond the Constitution under which we are all supposed to be living.
What strikes me as a little strange is that, according to my recollection, when I queried the wisdom of inserting the word "color" in the platform, Mr. McClure defended its rights to be there.
the part of those in this liberal movement to put anything over on the South, molens volens, not, the remotest. Even if there were, it would be a foolish thought. The Southern liberals will see to it that the South is not overcrowded, not overspeeded, in the nation wide march of liberalism to wards its democratic goals. Judging from the experience of the Republican party in the South, perhaps it is rather to be feared that Southern liberals will be strongly tempted to go far in their accommodation to local conditions that they will forget to hold up before the South ideals of democracy more generous and more just than those with which she now contents herself, without making unreasonable demands upon her to override her deep racial instincts. I have witnessed the change in the complexion of the Republican party in the South from "black" to "illy white," I would hope that Southern liberals who united with us would not become as unmindful of the future of the Negro as the Republican party in the South seems to have become; but I feel perfectly certain no mass effort will ever be made by white Americans (of whatever party or affiliations) to use steam-roller tactics in behalf of the Black Americans. Mercer G. Johnston.
I HAVE BUT ONE RULE AND BY THAT RULE MY LIFE SHALL SQUARE.
Why I supported the Picket faction in the political fight of Georgia. Not that I liked Johnson less and Picket more. But because I had sworn not to swallow this main Goree, who Johnson was determined to smuggle in, and down the throats of the Negro Republicans of Georgia. The man who ten short years ago, insulted to the core the Negro man and womanhood of Georgia. Read what Jackson McHenry says about Goree. Jackson McHenry is a man that I have known for thirty years and upon whose record (already made) I defy any man to dispute his word.
PICKET OR GOREE, WHICH?
(Special To The Independent)
I am an old line Republican and a lover of people who mistreats me with any white man who mistreats my people. I believe a man running for public office should stand or fall upon his record. I do not believe of making flesh of one man in the name of another. "What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander."
I am not defending Mr. Pickett nor fighting Mr. Goree—I am expecting their defense. Mr. Pickett has been much said about Mr. Pickett's backdoor speech. I think something ought to be said about Mr. Goree and the white people. I think the devil because he said: "Up in his district, he got along all right with the colored people—when a colored man came to his home, he came back door, and when a white man came to see him he came to his front door."
First, Mr. Goree supported Hoke Smith and then he came to him to take from us our birth-right, and he is responsible for our disfranchise-ness, so far as his influence and one voter's will.
Second, he voted for, supported and spoke for Jas. K. Woodward in the white primary, and I remember, from which all Negroes were excluded. The decent white folks and Negroes bolted the white primary and nominated Mr. R. F. Maddox and elected him mayor.
Third, two years later Mr. Gorce voting and working in the white primary, made this statement: "Two years ago the Peach folks drove me to Atlanta beside the will of the white voters of Atlanta with tissue ballot and Negro votes." He said it was not a partisan primary, but a white man's primary in which white folks decide who should govern. He said the white folks that night at Grady monument and asked them if they were again going to stand to have the white folk's will defeated by Negro votes and tissue ballots? The white folks, sheered their eyes, because I knew his statement was calculated to start a riot. "If Mr. Picket is unfit for chairman because his thick door speech, which had nothing to do with politics, how can Mr. Gorce be fit when he votes in the white primary, supports Hoke Smith and helps him to rob us of our vote? Mr. Gorce exclaimed at Grady monument that night: "I thank God that the Negro cannot vote in a white primary." If there is anything that I hate, it is a white primary. I do not believe in swapping the witch for the devil or jumping out of the fry.
ing pain in the fire. Let Mr. Goree explain his affiliation with the Democrats in the white primary and why he helped Hoke. Smith dafranchase us, before he asks us to make them change. JACKSON MCHENRY. These facts were known to 90 percent of the reading public of Georgia and to none better than Henry L. Johnson. Johnson made Jackson. Johnson made Pickett, both of whom he was first to scorn. Johnson insisted upon and did make Goree, (such making as it was, we slowed him up this time. Because without Johnson and Ben Davis, Goree could not gain admittance to a decent Republican Dog Flight in Georgia;

P. S. —Those who know me and heard his speech at the Capitol Tuesday April 6th know that under no circumstances would I subscribe to such inferior and degraded methods. And as for the lie told on me in his caucus I set my 35 years of public life against it and let whoever may believe.

The visitors, returning from their southern trip where they had won nine games out of eleven played, expected a victory. Both teams made several errors, which aided in the scoring of their opponents.

Many of the advanced students were given topics concerning personal hygiene such as soap and water, bathing, the value of exercise, how to prevent consumption.
They discussed these subjects in the lower grades. John L. Adams, head of the hygiene department, directed the health work. On Tuesday morning of this week Secretary J. W. Moore of the Colored Y. M. C. A. made a very inspiring talk to the students of the junior high school. Cuyler will soon render a program at the "Y".

Headwaiter Ponciana Hotel Dismissed
Later Reinstated When Foul Play was Learned by Manager
West Palm Beach, Fla.,—Its bad to have a friend stab you and yet that is just what Headwaiter J. S. McLain is said to have had done him recently when he was dismissed as headwaiter at the Royal Polinciana Hotel. McLain who is from Jacksonville, is one of the best known headwaiters in this county he having served in this capacity at various houses for the past quarter of a century. From what can be learned of the recent trouble he has had at the Royal Polinciana, the facts seem to be as follows:
A little over three weeks ago McLain and his first assistant, Second Walter Dr. A. D. Ramel, had a little misunderstanding and the latter is said to have conspired to have McLain displaced as headwaiter. Itumor has it that he inspired the waiters to strike for higher wages at a time when the house was filled and at the same time to demand the dismissal of McLain as headwaiter. Both of these demands were made by the men with the addition that Pannell be given McLain's place. The management of the house was not inclined to meet the demands, especially that of McLain's dismissal but after he had shown a willingness to get out the management gave in to them. Every thing is said to have gone smooth until the management learned the real facts at the first dinner served after Pannell was made headwaiter.
McLain was sent for and told by the management that his resignation would not be accepted but that he would be granted a leaf of absence until next year when he would be expected to fill his position as in former years. At the termination of pannell's short contract last week as headwaiter he was told his services would be needed no longer and he was summarily dismissed. It seems that only a few of the men knew Ponnell's motive for asking them to strike and the waiters in general were all much pleased when they learned that their old headwaiter would be in charge of the dining room next year.

GEORGIAN TO PASTOR BIG
BROOKLYN, GI
Brooklyn, N. Y. — The Concord Baptist Church of Christ in this city with a membership of more than sixteen hundred has called the Rev. James B. Adams, a brilliant young preacher who is a native of Georgia and a graduate of Morehouse College, Atlanta, to become supply pastor. The pulpit of this large and influential church has been vacant since the death of its pastor,the Rev. Dr. William M. Morse last October After completing his bachelor's course at Morehouse, the Rev. Adams took a special course in science at Chicago University and then studied medicine at North Western University with a veiw of going as a missionary to Africa. But while at North Western his alma mater offered him the position of business manager which he accepted.
Shortly after entering upon his new duties he was called by the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. to do religious and educational work among the soldiers. Being of a patriotic bent of mind, the Rev. Adams resigned as business manager at Morehouse College and entered the service of the War Work Council. He rendered valuable service at Camp Meade in Maryland, Camp Lee in Virginia and Camp Taylor in Kentucky. The Rev. Mr. Adams was licensed to preach, by the Second Salem Baptist Church at Montezuna, Ga., in 1013 and four years later was ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the Sharon Baptist Church at Baltimore, Md.

The writer overheard a conversation that a depositor was having with the teller of a white banking institution. She said enough to make it plain to the bystanders that her business relation were satisfactory. Now what should be her next step? The answer is very evident.

The Star Theater that has opened especially for Colored people is making good in accommodation, quality of pictures and music. The manager, at a great expense, has employed the Howard Bunts orchestra. Sunday was really an Easter day here, and all the churches were well attended. On account of the rain on Easter Sunday the churches all had their exercises last Sunday.
