GA. ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
Association Includes All Classes of
- Men and Women In the State
The Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education among Negroes is planning, for the biggest convention ever for this year. With Prof. H.W. A. Hunt of Fort Valley presiding, the executive board had one of its biggest meetings in the Colored Y M. C. A. building in Atlanta, just recently. The purpose of the meeting was to adopt a program of work for the year; to fix the date and place of the meeting and to extend an invitation to the state Teachers' Association of Georgia to meet in joint session with the Georgia Association. The board fixed the place in Atlanta in May. The Georgia Association voted unanimously in extending an invitation to the colored State Teachers' Association to meet in joint session with it. It is known that the Georgia Association for the pressed purpose of nurturing, better school buildings, better paid teachers, longer school terms for the rural schools, better prepared teachers for common schools, establishment of more agricultural schools for Negro youth by the state; a normal training school for girls and indeed to have a general arousing of interest in the matter of education for the colored people of Georgia.
While the Teachers' State Association has the teacher's interest in the matter of class room work and is there fore-professional in nature. The leaders of both organizations belong to both associations and since one is attending the better equipment, and the others to inspire those in the Classroom, it is desirable that they meet at the same time and be placed in joint session and take the opportunity to discuss and study the entire school situation, both as to equipment for teachers and means for homes. No doubt that the State Teachers' Association will accept the opportunity of meeting in joint session with the Georgia Association for the season of inspiration, economy and the broad purpose of co-operating in a matter that affects the entire Negro and white institution of Georgia.
Fortunately for the Georgia Association, it includes all classes of men and women in the estate through religious, fraternal and social organizations as well as individual membership. It has the head of churches, fraternal society, social clubs, group organizations of county teachers and all of the forces of the race to make better the system of Negro education.
Through this channel it is hoped to arouse the colored people first in their children and to claim the state's interest in this matter. It cooperates with the state in common school work and urges the colored people to take more interest in child life generally. For the past three years, this organization has done much through articles in the press in calling the state's attention to the needs of better salaries and equipment and to these appeals, based upon facts submitted by the association, such papers as the Atlanta Constitution, Macon News, Telegraph and the colored journals have given information space and urged the association to do more. There will be a systematic campaign made this year in this direction by the leaders of the association.
The local citizenry of Atlanta is planning to co-operate with three or organizations and make this the biggest meeting of its kind held in the city of Atlanta.

THRIFT METHODS REPORTED
BY NATIONAL CURBAN LEAGUE
Benjamin Franklin's Thrift Mavin
Part OF League's Thrift Program
Reports of the various branches of the National Urban League coming into the office during Thrift Week call attention to the practical service to the community in carrying thrift into the home through their home economy departments. The Pittsburgh Urban League last year had 13 thrift organizations dotting the city, these groups holding 21 meetings under direction of the League's Home Economic workers. Lessons in thrift were gathered from some of their activities. A potato club bought 75 bushels of potatoes at whole sale prices for its members; an apple club did the same thing, six or more of the various groups always buying together to secure lower prices. In addition to these winter food purchases the club formed classes in cooking canning and sewing not forgetting the recreational sale which included gymnasium work.
Thrift and home making were the fundamentals taught by the New Jersey Urban League's home ylding department in its rehabilitation of 240 families and individuals last year. "Not to give material relief merely," writes William M. Ashby, executive secretary in his report, "but to strengthen on home ties and adjust difficulties as they arise from time to time is our object in dealing with the problems of the family.

Hampton Defeats Shaw Univ.28 to 16
Hampton Va. Jan 27 - The Shaw
Fairbairn quaint weit down in defeat
for the second time this season
before the onslaught of the Hampton
Institute basketball towers on
Friday night, January 21. The game
was played in the sparoid Raleigh
city auditorium which is considered
one of the best basketball courts in
the country - from the weather man
was blind, one of the largest and most
enthusiastic crowds that ever attended
a game in Raleigh was on hand to
cheer Shaw on to victory. There was
confidence because Shaw led lost to
Hampton 17 to 15 on the latters court
during the holiday game, and because
the Shaw team is considered this year
the best ever turned out at the University.
At the sound of the referee's whistle, Rabbi's greatest game of the season was on. Hampton began scoring and kept the lead until the last minute of the first half, when Hardy made a long basket, giving Shaw an 11 to 10 lead. This spectacular performance brought the crowd to its feet. At this time there was wild rejoicing. During the internship the University band-centred the occasion.
The joy of the Shaw rooters was of brief duration, however, for at the beginning of the second half the Hampton five opened with a dash that held the spectators breathless and dazzled the Shaw players. Hampton's passing and shooting, with her great defensive playing in this half, held Shaw to five points, while she rolled up eighteen points. It was evident soon after the opening of this half that the "Seasoners" and the better team and that the hopes of the Shaw followers would not be realized this season.
Hardy, a former Hampton player, was easily the star for the local team, while the entire Hampton aggregation played as a machine. The guarding of both teams was close, which made the playing at times rough. There was a near spirit, however, throughout the game, and the Shaw rooters declared, at the round of the timekeeper's whistle, that the better team had won.

Mamie Smith and Her Jazz Hounds
Booked for This City Feb. 9
The announcement of the forthcoming appearance hero of Manile Smith the supreme popular singer of the colored race, and her Original Jazz Hounds and assisting artists, carries with it the assurance that amusement and music-lovers of this city will heat the greatest jazz concert that has ever left New York. The engagement here of this celebrated star of the photograph and musical-comedy world will mark one of the few stops on a transcontinental tour which has been booked by the Standard Amusement Co., of New York. During her short career as a star of the first rank (for Manile's fame came to her almost overnight) Miss Smith has done more than any other singer in America to popularize the genuine jazz and blues songs of the day. In her hands a song like "Gray Blues" and Memories of You Mammy" becomes a living, potent thing, charged with a pulsing and individual rhythm which has never before been called in this country. After her first sensational success, Miss Smith was asked the secret of her perfect master of the "blues" song. "The typical blues song" stated Manile, "comes from the very heart of the race. It is a peculiar and individual type of music which goes back for generations. In my opinion, it is the foundation of American folk music more so than Indian of the plantation melodies, for the real blues music has a fascination about it which just now is the most popular style of syncopation in the world and to ship it well, you have to be in the race over it. Manile has been the race in the east ever since of her first photograph record and so great have been the crowds seeking admirations to her public appearances that in several instances it has been necessary to call out the police reserve. The program for February 9th will contain several of the numbers which have made Manile Smith famous, as well as several of the latest jazz hits hot from broadcast. Tremendous interest has been evidenced in the coming to this city of this famous star and her almost equally famous jazz band, and it is predicted that a record breaking house will greet her here on February 9th.
Locomotive Firemen
Agreeto Affiliate
---
On the 15th of January the International Order of Colored Locomotive Firemen. Sagarangh, Ga., National Standard Order of Locomotive Firemen, Macon, Ga., Grand United Order of Locomotive Firemen of America, Knoxville, Tenn. agreed to affiliate and combine their strength for their protection. This includes practically the south, where colored firemen are ued, as far west as Mississippi and south as far as Miami, Flat Press. T. C. Jefferson is still striving to convince the men that there is nothing in a Daling Car or Pullman Porters' Union, headed by Daling Car waiters for firemen. Mr. Jefferson has proved to be one of the smartest men of the race in the railroad line by being successful in uniting the firemen of the south for their protection. There are a few firemen under the jurisdiction of the R. M. I. B. I. A. who do not understand the great reconstruction that is just "order the defence". The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, white Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Brotherhood of Railway Trailmen, Railway Conductors, International Association of Mechanics, Blacksmiths are all to themselves in a separate organization, then why not have an organization of our own?
Jones, Jefferson has joined hands with W. L. Grant, president National Standard Order of Locomotive Firemen. White St. S., Macon, Ga., and Henry Hardy, president Grand United Order of Locomotive Firemen of American, 510 Owens St., Knoxville, Teen, they are working to see that colored in in the south obtain their respective roles, by proving faithful and loyal to color standards. Write or wire Satannah S. M. McKinney, Teen, for your charter and seal, and also for a better understanding of all concerned.
SEEKS CREATION OF
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
London, England, Jan. 20th. (By the Associated Nero Press)—British West Africa is the latest country to seek home rule. A mission has arrived to urge a number of reforms in the administration of the four West African colonies and protectorates, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, Nigeria and the Gambia, says the London Times.
The mission seeks the creation or a legislative council which will be composed of members chosen half by the crown and half elected by he people and for a house of assembly which would have complete control of the revenue and expenditure. The judicial system, in particular of Nigeria, is criticized by the mission, which states that "it is the practice to appoint Europeans who have not received any legal training and who are not competent to exercise judicial functions."
Among other suggested reforms they seek the establishment of a West African university; the removal of the color bar in the medical service and the introduction of immigration laws to prevent the indus of undesirable others

REJECT NAME OF NOTED
NEGRO FOR, ILLL OF FAME
Duffalo, N. L., Jan. 20th. (By The Associated Negro Press) - A few weeks ago, we learned that the name of Frederick Douglass had been rejected for the Hall of Fame and many of our men and women felt very bad because this illustrious man had not been chosen. We have the opportunity to place his name forever in the Hall of Fame at Anacostia, D. C., by making his home so beautiful that visitors from all over the world will make a beaten path to "Cedar Hill."
Four years ago the Trustee Board of the Douglass Memorial House sought the help of the National Association of Colored Women and in ten months we paid off the mortgage and saved the home from any further embarrassment. We did not refore, we simply redeemed, then the war came on and we could not finish the job. I called for ten thousand dollars for restoration, and during these years, in addition to wiping off the mortgage, we have raised an additional sum towards the restoration of four thousand dollars. To completely restore the home, at least six thousand dollars is needed, and today we are sending out what we hope will be the last appeal to Club women and race men and women to fittingly celebrate the birthday of our illustrious Douglass by appropriate exercises, and by raising as large a sum as possible.
Every organization or individual that contributes $2,500 will have their names written upon the parchment that will hang forever upon the walls of the home thus showing to our children the names of men and women who desired to make of Cedar Hill our Hall of Fame. Mrs. C. J. Walker was the largest contributor and to honorary a special tablet will be erected when the home is restored. The old Board of Tuskegee will meet in Washington March 3rd at the call of their president. The Board representing the National Association of Colored Women will meet in Washington, March 5th, 1 p. m., at Cedar Hill. We desire that both boards will meet the public on the afternoon of March 5 from 2 to 5 p. m., and every colored man and woman who comes to Washington for the Inauguration may consider this as the invitation to journey to this historic place, and here let us again receive inspiration by walking through the rooms made hallbored by the immortal Douglass.
Saturday Feb. 12, 1921, will be known all over the country by legal race men and women as Daughters Memorial Day. Send all contributions quickly to Mrs. J. G. Napier, 120 Fifth Avenue, North Nashville, Tennessee, that she may have her report for us by March 5. Dunbar, Miss Nannie L. Burroughs, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert representing the National Association of Colored Women 1021.

Meeting Wednesday. In Y.M.C.A.Building
GREAT SHOWING MADE AT FIRST
ANNUAL MEETING
The first and only colored fire insurance Co. In the country held its annual meeting Wednesday of last week in Atlanta. It was a gathering of some of the far seeing men and women of the state, pioneers of an organization that is destined to add to the industrial history of the race and prove very beneficial to those who are sufficiently wise to invest. This company, although in its infancy, gives every indication of securing a solid footing and grow into a company of great proportion.
The offices of the company were too small to accommodate the stockholders for this meeting which was held in the X. M. C. A. building. It was a new sensation for the stockholders when called to order by President W. G. Thomas. This was the first time that any of them ever attended an annual stockholders meeting of a colored fire insurance company. With keen interest they followed the proceedings and listened to the submitted reports.
All of the business transacted bunded toward the future growth and helpfulness of the company, not only to those whose interest will be protected but to those who have and will invest in its stock.
It was interesting to note the presence of the men and women who have invested in the company. They came from varied sections of the state; and many are among the more substantial ones of the race.
The officers selected as follows: W. C. Thpmas, president; J. O. Roe, vice president; Sol C. Johnson, vice president; L. E. Gaines, vice president; H. E. Perry, vice president; L. A. Townsler, secretary;reasurer; J. S. Allen, assistant secretary; J. H. Watson, supt. of agencies.
The directors are W. C. Thomas, L. A. Townsler, C. A. Clark, L. E. Williams, J. J. Wright, C. W. Gaines, C. I. Cain, J. O. Koss, P. K. Perry, S. M. Knottley, Sol. C. Johnson, H. E. Perry, R. H. Singleton, J. S. Allen, D. H. Brown.

ored People Makes Changes
ored People Makes Changes
New York, Jan. 24. The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave, New
York, today make public a letter
charging that southern representatives
in Congress, had had the word
"Nigger" inserted into the printed
report of hearing on disfranchisement
of colored Americans, when they had
not dared to use the word to colored
witnesses.
The letter which is addressed to Rep
resentative Isaac Siegel, chairman of
the Committee on the Census and signed
by James Weldon Johnson, secretary
of the Association is as follows:
January 21, 1921
"Hon. Charles Sloech,
Chairman Committee on Census,
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C.
"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to call your attention to the covardy tactics employed by Southern members of the Census Committee of the House of Representatives of which you are chairman.
"These Southern Congressmen on the Census Committee write the word 'nigger' in the Congressional Record, although they did not dare use that term when speaking face to face with officers of association.
They permit their proof sheets to be skipped to the printer, using the word 'nigger' thus pretending to their folk at home, but they dared use this insulting word the colored witnesses. The Southern pretends to be unable to pronounce the word Nero, and what he says is this: "Nigragh, which of course, disarms any objection, inasmuch as it becomes a mere matter of pronunciation. Presumably he is trying to say 'Nero'
"This Larsen, of Georgia and Milligan of Mississippi, continually use the words 'nigger and nigger woman' in the printed report of the hearing, when they did not give it in speech. If they had used these insulting terms to the colored men who faced them, there would have been something else in the record. Larsen pretends to have spoken to William Pickens concerning one Will May as being 'nigger', a pretty good 'nigger' while Milligan private himself in the record as using the term 'nigger woman'.
"May I ask that you see that the record is corrected so as to conform with the facts and that you advise me when these corrections have been made."
Very truly yours

CONTROSERVY ON ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACTS AND SALARIES
Chicago, Ill., Jan. 2003 (By The Associated Negro Press)—The controversy on the adjustment of contracts and salaries before the U. S. Railway Labor tool is still in progress, and is creating unusual interest. J. H. Eland, Grind President of the Colorful Association of Railway Employees with headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., has been a constant attendant at the sessions, and has prepared a brief on the topic.
According to the contentions of the C. A. R. B., the Brotherhood of Trainees, white, has not only effected contracts and agreements that are giving them undue advantages, but they are obviously discriminatory, and should not be tolerated longer. According to the present arrangement, colored trainees in the South where the majority are employed, are diminishing in number constantly, and because of present seniority rules, those who are employed find it most impossible to advance.
It is maintained that the only organization of railway employees represented in the contract with the government were organizations composed exclusively of whites, in which colored men could not become members. The Colored Association is contending for an agreement, national, in scope, affecting and protecting all employees in the same department of service without regard, to race or color, so far as working conditions are concerned
Jackson, Miss. Jan 21h (By the Associated Negro Press)—152,000 white people, members of the Mennonite religious sect, who are of German descent have purchased large and holdings in this state and are preparing to migrate from the Saskatchewan district of Manitoba, Canada, to these hands early in the spring.
Native Mississippi are rallying a great protest, but in the face of the opposition of the entire American Legion, Governor Russell has officially refused to withdraw his welcome to the state, his guaranty of the right to educate their children as they so fit and in the language they choose, the right to religious freedom, or all the privilege

L. E. WILLIAMS ELECTED DIRECTOR STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
Prominent Savannah Capatillist Wells to Stoeldlinders Wishes—Another Savannah Man Left Off Board.
The Standard Life Insurance Co. held its annual stock holders meeting January 20, at the headquarters here in the Old Fellows' building with a large majority of the stock represented in person and by proxy. The meeting was called promptly at 2 o'clock p.m. with H. B. Perry, president, in the chair. The reports of the officers, showing in detail, the volume of business done during the past year were approved and gave much satisfaction to the share holders who voiced their approval by giving the officers a rising vote of thanks and confidence for the excellent manner in which they are conducting the affairs of the corporation.
The business done according to the reports, was the greatest in the history of the company and showed at a glance that the men at the helm, are men that can be depended upon to safeguard the interest of the hundreds who have invested their earnings, and above all, the policy holders. The business of the stockholders over, the election of a board of directors who could be depended upon to work in harmony with the president was then held. Three of the old board who had been in harness since the organization of the company, were disposed.
One of the surprises of the meeting and yet one that was pleasing to the stock holders, was the pressing in service of L. L. Williams, the well known banker of Savannah, over his possess. The election of this influential citizen still gives Savannah two of the most prominent business men in the state, directors of this great corporation.
The directors elected are as follows: H. D. Perry, Alex D. Hamilton, Sol. C. Johnson, L. H. Williams, W. H. King, Dr. A. M. Wilkins, J. M. Frierson, Emmett J. Scott, H. C. Dugas, J. F. Dugas, Dr. J. W. Higley, N. N. Young, A. L. Lewis, W. S. Duckson, H. A. Boyd, J. O. Ross, Bishop R. E. Jones, R. L. Isaac, Dr. W. Riddle and T. H. Hayes.
So well satisfied were the directors with the officers as constituted, there being not the semblance of opposition, that, without a dissenting vote, the entire family was de facto for H. E. Perry, president: N. H. Young 1st vice president; T. H. Hayes, 2nd vice president; A. L. Lewis, 3rd vice president; J. A. Robinson, secretary; C. A. Shaw, 1st assistant secretary; C. A. Arnold, 2nd assistant secretary; A. D. Hamilton, treasurer; Dr. C. C. Center, medical director; W. H. King, director agencies.
There are some interesting sidebites in connection with the election of L. E. Williams to the directorate. As the story goes, and it must be true. For several years, an attempt has been made to elect him to the board but he claiming that his duties as president of the Ware Earners Bank were so exacting. It is said he actually stood away from the annual meetings, absolutely dodging in order to keep from being made a director. But the stockholders were determined this time and knew he would be present at the meeting of the Great Southern Fire Insurance Company, coming just one day ahead of the Standard Life, and being in Atlanta, made an insistent demand, for him to stay over Yielding and thinking, perhaps, that some advice was modeled he remained over. To his surprise, and over his protest, when directors were to be elected, his friends put his name before the stockholders and, in the discussion that followed, those who were determined to elect him, almost forgot to mention that others were to be elected. In discussing the matter with your correspondent, several of the stockholders said "we hemmed the gentleman up in such a manner that his rigging and wobbling could do him to good. We were determined to elect him, protest or what not, for the man he has built up the strongest banking institution in the world for our people, and with him a director, the Standard Life will be benefited.
R. E. Pharrow Entertains
K. E. Pharroy Entertains
Mr. R. E. Pharroy entertained at dinner Thursday the 20, at his home in honor of several of his out of town friends. Among those who enjoyed his hospitality were; Sol. C. Johnson L. D. Williams, J. G. Lemon, P. Edward Petry, Savannah; Dr. H. Van Buren, Statesboro; Carlton W. Galues, Waycross; J. C. Lindsay, Thos. W. Holmes, W. C. Thomas, H. B. Burdell, Atlanta; and C. A. Clark, Brunswick. The culinary arrangements were in charge of Mrs. and Miss Pharroy who hand-tell the dining room in their own way and to the evident satisfaction of those present. Mr. C. A. Clark in his happy and available way proposed a rising vote of thanks to the ladies for the sumptuous repast furnished by them and after the invited guests had cheried pleasantly for an tour, they gave the hint that the event should be made an annual affair.
Council Asks For Bonds
City council in session last Thursday passed unanimously an ordinance to ask the tax payers of the city to authorize a bond issue of $8,580,000.00 for schools, sewers and a vault to cross the rail road tracks of the W. & A. Hall Road, from the foot to Spring street to connect with Madison station. In the proposed issue provision is made for $4,000,000.00 for schools, the matter of which is of most concern to the average citizen, whites and blacks. We have not yet learned what part of this collossal sum is to be allotted to the race, but we put the authorities on notice now that the old worn out, delapidated schools which have been used for a number of years by the other race are not to be thrown on our people. We must have a fair and equitable proportion of the fund and now and improved school buildings for our children, and if not the

State Central Committee Hold Meeting
Dr. G. P. Washington, Waycerr, Dr.
K. J. Turner, Columbus and many others were in the city last Friday, the 21st attending the State Central Committee. All, or most all veterans were on hand to sanction all of the nets fixed up in the star chamber cause and the program mapped out by the bosses and would-be bosses went thru like clock work. Chairman Goree and vice chairman Karnes were both absent neither being represented by witness or counsel, they being trid ex parte.
The party in Georgia is in a bad way and is destined to be a total wreck in the near future. Our so-called leaders have been importuned from time to time to put some reliable colored man at the head, but in each instance a white man is selected; and the worst part of all is, almost at each session one white man has to be posed, an other equally as bad, or worse, is selected to fill the place.
The whole business of the committee was transacted by less than half dozen, the most of them the ones most interested in deposing the men they created chairman and vice chairman, respectively. Harry Price, a citizen of New York, who has retained secretary of the committee, and who issued the call to the committee, was elector chairman for the day, while Walter Scott, who was retained as assistant secretary and lives in Sarannah was given one day's promotion as chief secretary.
It was nottable' that the white members of the committee were the ones who rushed Henry Lincoln Johnson to shake his hand, the colored members keeping their seats and giving him a chance to approach them. The white members, most 'of them from the rural counties, are the ones who will get the offices while the colored members will wait with patience the chance to vote for a chairman more in some dark corner or basement two years hence.
As a result of the charges, Goreen and Karnes were found guilty on all counts in the indictment, but were given a chance to resign before summary action is taken. We hold that Mr. Pace has no legal right to be secretary of a political convention or committee in this state, he being a resident of New York, and should not be and leave his work here in the hands of a would be boss to issue these calls and otherwise tamper with the records. And, but for the action of a crowd of meoos who come to these conventions from time to time, the Republican party would be building up instead of distingering.
It will be a Godsend to the party
to get rid of Gorge and Kare, and
when the people awaken to the fact
that such men as the Hon. Hear-
dian of Chatham are put at the head
of the helm, new, life and a better
feeling will exist with those of the
Republican faith.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
T. K. Gibson will be pleased to con-
gratulate them on the advent of an
other visitor in their home—a boun-
cing baby girl. Mother and daughter
are doing well.
Mrs. Willie G. Hill of Savannah a
in the city last week attending the
stock holders meeting of the Great
Southern Fire Insurance Company.
On her return home, she stopped at
Macon a few days on business.
The political pie hunters, since he chairman and vice chairman have been asked to resign, are making their slates for the more important federal officers. If reported rumors are true, with Goree and Karnes threatening to use those bringing charges of ally graft against them for libel, some likely times are looked for and things of a sensational nature are likely to happen at any time. Rumors are about that Harry Pace, a citizen of New York, has been slated and the Georgia would-be bosses will very vigorously push his claims as the most acceptable man in the country for collector of internal revenue. "When tilleys fall out it is time for honest men to take notice." This is an old saying but it fits well at all times. The writer is of the opinion that Mr. Pace will wait a long time before he lands.
of internal revenue collector irrespective of those who think they have the key to his appointment if he is seeking. It as rumored, and we doubt seriously that National Committee in Johnson will endorse him for the plan.
If this rumor is true, and it evidently is, then Georgia is in a bad way for men to fill the various federal offices if a man who has made his residence in another state is to be selected to hold the most important office in the state. The men who have led the party for all these years, and the rank and file who voted in the state for the standard bearers, will send up a nightly howl to the president before they will submit to any such sgtst being putted off on them.

WASHINGTON'S BIBLE WILL BE
USED BY PRESIDENT-ELECT Marion, Ohio, Jan 20th By The Associated Negro Press—President-elect Harding has chosen the biblical text upon which he will take the oath once as president of the United States. He will ask that the same Bible which George Washington used be owned. Mirah, 6th chapter and 5th page which reads: "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doch the Lord require of thee but to do justice; and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." Senator Harding's thoughts have been much upon the fate of late. He commenced last night upon the fact of the taking of numerous degrees in manny in the last two weeks he has been surrounded by a particularly so can religious atmosphere. He affirmed his belief in the mercy of prayer and predicted that prayer will help him with the problems that are before him in the White House.
"During the last ten days," he said, "I have been taken far back into the story of the destination and I have found it adding to my sense of religious devotion. Prayer grieps the heart and adds to one's confidence.
"I believe in prayer. I believe it the closet, for there one faces God alone. Many times the spoken prayer I only for one's ears. I can understand how those prophets of old in their perplexities, problems, perturbations and anxieties, found courage and strength, when they gave their hearts to the Great Omnipotent in prayer.
"How many things there are in scripture that we in our worldiness never discover:
"After all, men are much alike. God made us all in the same image and there is no difference in us except we have developed, or when the weight of responsibility is shouldered upon us."
Then God makes human beings any wee "The government of this republic has been adrift, and the inevitable result has followed. But I am not afraid, I know through courtesy, confidence and those adherence to justice one will have at his call the great minds and intellects in this great republic am with their truth, advice and direction we cannot go war."
JANUARY 23, DESIGNATED
AS INTER-RACIAL SUNDAY
Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 28 (By The A&B
clubled Negro Press)—Sunday, January
23 was designated as "Inter-Racial
Sunday" throughout the south and
was observed in the publits of all
denominations by the state inter-racial
committee of the Y. M. C. A.
Letters from this committee, Governor
Hugh M. Dorsey, and executive
board of the Southern Baptist convention were sent to all ministers requesting their cooperation:
There is to be a south-wide observance of Inter-racial Sunday this year, and in harmony with the other states, the Georgia state committee has designated Sunday January 27, 1921, as Inter-racial Sunday.
Herein we hand you leaflets which will give you certain facts concerning the inter-racial movement. To these we would respectfully invite your careful attention.
We recognize that the best way to reach the ear and the heart of the best people of our state is through the ministers of the various churches and therefore most earnestly ask that inter-racial Sunday, if convenient and agreeable, you give your people at least a summary of the facts hereto contained. Many ministers will doubtless give an entire sermon to that matter, which we are sure is perfectly proper, for if a minister can by use that "farther sympathy" call the attention of his people to the needs of Negroes of Africa, it is surely proper by use of that "nearer sympathy" to call their attention to the needs of the people in his own state.
We are convinced that it is his time to direct the Christian though and to stir up the Christian conscience of American people to the needs of the Negro in the southland.

BETTER RACE RELATIONS
A few Sunday nights ago Rev. J. Henry Brown of St. Augustine Church delivered a stirring address to a large audience. It was well received and heartily commended by his hearers. In this sermon Father Brown has proven a valuable asset to the community, for conservative and constructive leadership means much for this community and especially to our people. The address contained many salient points depicting friendly relationships among which we append the following:
"Whenever I hear masters of eloquence and oratory making soul stirring appeals for brotherhood, across my mind rolls a picture of the 'brotherhood of Cain and Abel and also that of Jacob and Esau. From that 'conception of brotherhood, my prayer is and always will be 'gold Lord deliver us,' on the other hand we should all yearn for the friendly partnership so admirably set forth in the beautiful characters of Jonathan and David, and Damon and Pythias. This is the solid ground upon which all can stand. This is the Master's method; listen to His word: 'Greater love has no man than this that he lay down his life for his friend.' This cord bound the allied army together and saved the world from militarism. The very word allly conveys the idea of friendship.
"Let us change the emphasis from now on, forget the illusive will-o-the-wisp brotherhood phraseology, and go out with the resolve that we are going to develop friendship with every man regardless of race or station. The white man may not be able to acknowledge you as a brother, but he will gladly accept you as his friend. A friendly partnership does not involve oneness of race, but it does demand oneness of purpose for the good of the commonwealth. Friendly partnership clearer visor straightens the warped character, clears the mind of horrid nightmares which disturb our dreams, and cleans the hands of blood."
REGISTER NOW
Prior to the recent bond election, the newspapers carried accounts of the total and relative registration of this county. It was surprising that the total number of Negro then registered was only 618 as against a total of over 8,600. Many campaigns have been waged in this city by civic organizations, fraternal bodies, and by some of the religious bodies, to cause colored men to go up, pay their back taxes and register. It is discouraging to find that after all this effort there are still less than a thousand men qualified and on the books. It even appears that many property-owners, who must pay their poll taxes along with their property taxes, do not take the time and interest to register. This is even more to be deplored than is the case of those who have neither paid their taxes or registered. It shows an indifference and apathy which have for a long time been fatal to the interests of our people.
In times like these, when so much is being done to clear the way for Negro men to exercise their rights as American citizens to register and vote, when in the recent Congressional investigations, Southomers have protested that Negroes are not interfered with in their rights to register and vote, colored men ought to turn out, in large numbers to the polls, for the exercise of the right so long denied them and for the encouragement of those who are fighting that they may have the same free, untrammeled right of citizenship which other men enjoy. We cannot be too serious about the importance of this matter especially when time and again situations are arising wherein our weight of influence is called into play.
Recently, when the electorate had to pass upon the matter of over a million dollars for school bonds, very little consideration was given to colored people because of the little vote which they represented. No overtures were made looking to the securing of the small vote and little consideration was given to their desires in the matter of apportioning the school fund if perchance it should have been voted. This is only natural under the circumstances. If we had represented a vote of three or four thousand or more, which we ought, we should have come in for much consideration in so vital a matter. As it was, our total vote mattered little.
When the matter comes up for consideration next time, many of our women will be eligible to vote, and the situation will be entirely different. Our total vote will be considerable, and hence will have to be reckoned with.
This, however, is no excuse for, the weakness and indifference of our men. The total vote of men should be far in excess of the normal registration of women, in the very nature of things. Men should now be moved to larger registration than ever before, for when they find women so intolerant, fear

DR. WING'S SERMON
The sermon of the Rev. John Durham Wing last Sunday evening, published in roll in the Savannah Press of January 20th, was a magnificent treatise of the perplexing elements of race relationships in the South. His observations and surveys of the causes leading up to difficulties and conflicts, the reasons assigned for unrest, lack of faith and confidence, and the soudons he offered for the troubles were in the main, sound and well-determined. His appeal for better schools for Negroes, better police protection, the wiping out of the scourge of lynching, better accommodation for Negroes on railroad trains and street cars, and fair treatment at the hands of the police authority, were all good and in accord with the position of all the fair-minded white men of the South.
With his reasons underlying race conflicts in general, we do not agree, however, and we believe very few others will. He gave as a first reason for clash and conflict the temp. r and impatience and conduct of the young Negro, with which we do not at all agree. We hold that the young Negro, called the new Negro, is as patient, as well informed of conditions, and has as just a conception of the proper relationship of things as any other class of citizens. The resentment of manly attitude, the innate objection to the educated Negro, and the unusualness and unwillingness to deal with him differently, are the real reasons for conflict.
Dr. Wing also gave too much importance to the radical "North" and the ideas and practices which it is claimed come through prop. gaudia o. misinformed northerners. There is little or nothing of this influence to complicate the vexing problems of the south. On the other hand, Negroes feel, and justly so, that the South is well succeeding in bringing the "north" to its own view with respect to the rue problem. The editorial pages of every Southern newspaper spend more time at criticising the North for its wrongful views and prodding the North that when it, has the Negro in large numbers it will come to the Southern view about things, that, at any other single matter. And it is bringing results.
Dr. Wing is in error when he believes that the hating, vicious lynching Southerner is represented by very small numbers. It is inconceivable that public opinion could be unrestricted, the law over-ridden, the mob running through the streets, jails and court houses, by a small minority of the people. No mob is indicted, no member of it ever convicted; all its victims come to their "Rath at the hands of parties unknown." Judges, jailors, courts, the military all have been shown powerless to check this group. This same group is present in large numbers in the cities, but with less chance to show its character. It does manifest itself, however, in isolated cases of oppression on street cars, in p o places, in assaults, and occasional homicides.
True there is a wicked indulgence on the part of the just and fair-minded people, and true there are many of these, but they are certainly not in the vast majority, or they could not be so powerless. After all, the main reasons for most of the acquaintance and sufferance at crime and destruction by this class are political. Every man fears to be the one to get out in front and bear the brunt of ridicule which the political and social organization will bring to the power, in this regard. The few who have done so, here and there, have been man-handed by the newspapers and public opinion, whereas if the people who stand for law and order were in the vast majority, there could be no harm in such a stand for right.
We feel encouraged when men like Dr. Wing are willing to come out courageously and fearlessly in condemnation of lynching, and so strong for fair play for Negroes in the matter of education, justice in the courts and protection and even justice along all lines. But there are so few men who a this, and their efforts are so isolated, and so lacking in organization, that lynching and injustice go merrily on. If there were a great many of these men (and we hope the interracial committees now being formed in the South will do this) united in a common cause to bring about better conditions in the South, by employing the regular methods of government, law to do so, we could look forward to a better day. Sermons will not do so, for they reach the better classes of people, the people who do not make up the mobs. The rural community hears no such sermons; those who need it do not usually go to church, and may not read
The fight against mob violence and other wrongs perpetrated against Nogroes as such must be fought by organized propaganda. There must be studied methods and vigor behind the campaign, and only in this way will any substantial and lasting results be achieved.
One thing is certain, the South is more lawless today than ever before; and human life is cheaper. The countless tragedies of every day-occurrence, almost in every community, black against white, white against black, class against class, bear full testimony to this fact.
What influence is being started to check it? When will it end or when will it lead to?

BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Richmond, Va., Jan. 20th (By
21st Associated Negro Press)—The Ch
amber of Commerce of Richmond has
sued a diplomatic statement with re
fences to banks and banking unceq
people in this city. It is an indicat
of the largest in economic growth
of the race and says:
"This is a reminder that four colo banks of Richmond have combined posites of $1,351,526.00, and this did not take into account perhaps $2,000 belonging to colored people on posit in the white banks of Richmo it is perhaps a conservatist statem to make that the colored people Richmond have on deposit in all bar something near $4,000,000.00. In addition they are paying taxes on prep valued at approximately $3,500.00. In only one other southern city is Negro population reported to pos greater combined wealth, and Rmond is fast overhauling them."
PROTEST AGAINST WHOLESALE ARREST OF COLORED M
Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 21th (By
Associated Negro Press)—A comm
representing the Cheyenne Civic I
ague of Colored People called on M.
Ed. P. Taylor with a protest act
the wholesale arrests of colored
following the recent attack on M.
Daley Olom, white.
The committee complained that
discretion was used in the matter
arrests. They complained, too, that
moral conditions in certain, neigh-
hoods had much to do with the
break than two black men who co-
mitted the assault. The mayor
formed the committee that he wou
welcome any evidence that would g
him an opportunity to act. He
expressed regret that certain respon-
sible Negroes had been arrested
insuspicion, following the attack.
INCREASE OF MEMBERSH
Washington, D. I. 12, J. 26th
(The Associated Negro Press)—T
House of Representatives for
1 second time in its history halted
decennial increase of its membership.
By a vote of 2:7 to 7:6 it was delim-
ined that the house during the
ten years shall be composed of
present number of representatives. 4
Only once before has the house re-
titled the temptation to increase its mem-
bership following a census in order
avoid the representation reduction
any state. In 1841 the house mem-
bership was reduced by ten.
Under the plan of apportionme-
adopted today eleven states lose an
eight states gain representatives, whit-
teny-nine states suffer no change.
Missouri loses two members at
Juliana, Iowa, Kansas Kentucky Lou-
lana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska
Rhode Island and Vermont each.
A sectional fight was started when Representativo Tinkham, Massachusetts, sought to have written into its reapportionment bill the provision that the constitution which authorizes the house to reduce representation from any state which denies or abridges the right to its citizens or of the United States to vote. He held that several southern states deny their Negro citizens that right. Representatives Garrett, Tennessee, and Tower, Iowa, opposed the hold amendment. Representativo Campbell Kansas, chairman during consideration, told Tinkham he would have another opportunity to make hisade charge, and the house could be called to act after the apportionment power hinging authoritative should become effective March 23, 1923.
The various states affected will have two years to redistrict themselves. Voting for representatives under the new apportionment will not take place until November, 1922. The seats of the representatives elected last November are not affected.
TEYING TO SET HIM OUT OF SECOND STORY OF CHURCH
The new Jerusalem Union Matthiast Episcopal Church, at Zethy and Lumber street, was the subject of a big legal battle, in the superior court this week between the present trustees and Bey, J. S. Jenkin, one-time pastor of the church.
Jillian Mack, Cumay Brown, Dannon Brown and Sam Jankins, theaints in the case, are seeking to select the colored e-pastor from his residence in the upper story of the church, he having been removed from its incumbency as officiating pastor sometime ago.
Dullt Church
According to testimony given in the case the congregation of the church decided in 1817 to purchase the property and erect a church, and with that and in view duly assessed the members and sent out cards through the city for contributions.
Jenkins was pastor at that time and, during the confidence of the congregation, it is stated, was commissioned to purchase the property on which the church is erected for the congregation. When the deed was executed it is alleged that the pastor had the co. $ by made to himself and the plaintiffs individually and not as trustees.
when the mistake was discovered the trustees named in the deed with ev. Jenkins corrected the alleged error by making deeds for their interests to themselves as trustees for the church.
According to the allegations in the citation the pastor refused to join in proceeding, was formally ousted on his pastorate and assigned by e annual conference to a church in south Carolina. Having failed to dislodge the defiant by persuasive means the trustees ought electment proceedings to have dislodged from the upper story of o church. The church has a large congregation of the trial of the case is being attended by a large portion of the colled people in that section of the city. The defendant claims he and the her trustees bought the property individually, that his salary has never been paid, and he proposes to hold on his share of the property. Judge David S. Adkins represents a trustees of the church and T. L. I and G. E. Johnson represents the fendants.
Deciding that the property of the Jewelry Union Methodist Disciple Church, located at Zobly and imber streets, rightly belonged to William Mack, et al., trustees for the church, a jury in the superior court yesterday brought in a verdict for the plaintiff in the ejection proceedings out by the plaintiff against the w. J. E. Jenkins, former pastor of the church.
Venk. Jenkins vigorously contested suit, claiming pay for his services building the church, his salary and sport. He was represented by Thomas L. Hill, while David E. Atkin represented the plaintiff—Morr. News.

The "Texas Freeman" has coined the title of "Past Masons. The in-lows, it says, are derelict, destitute of level, of plumb, of square, of purses, of trousel, of servile, and of zeal. They are classed as curiosity-skewers, who took all the degrees they could get and then dimmed with no intention of again piping for membership or ever doing any Masonic work. Masonically, they are as useless as derelict ship at sea."—Chronicle.
You have heard a Mason, or o not a Mason returns that few rich men are members of the fraternity.
To a man who is drawing his every thought to the accumulation of riches Masoury is a thing to be avoided. Our institution teaches men to treat their fellows fairly and that it is the duty of every man to aid the less fortunate. The principles of the trayralty are in conflict with the system whereby most, if not all great fortunes are accumulated.
You have heard it said of a brother that he might have won riches had he devoted less thought and energy Masoury and more to his business or profession.
Masonry is at means to splinter wealth and offers nothing in the way of material reward. Masonry is intended to take man's mind from temporal things and to prepare his soul for happiness eternal.
3. Masonry offers something better than riches but many cannot see the light—The Masonic News.
Freeasonry interests us in the duties and engagements of human production an offer to concern for the welfare of all around us; raising us superior to every which view or party prejudice; filling the heart with an unlimited good will to man—Missouri Freeason.
THREE QUESTIONS.
Every Mason should examine himself at least once each year to answer three important questions.
1. How many sick brothers have visited during the year?
2. How many Masonic lunars have I attended?
3. How many needy and distressed persons have I relieved?
The answers to these questions will not embrace the entire field of Mason in obligation, but they will reveal the essential and find in it a title of a true Mason. Such a title, accordingly, made will reveal the true direction of the average Mason.
OFFICIAL STAMP PLACE ON PLANS OF COLONIST
The Associated Negro Press)—ELA
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, S. A.
20th (By The Associated Negro Press)
—The Brazilian government has
the official stamp of its approval
on the plans of the Brazilian Amt
Colonization Syndicate, at the base
officially determined that the last col-
ony of American colonies shall be
in the State of Marto Cearao, with
in a few miles of Cuyabá, the capita
of the State.
This situation is in the very center of one of the richest sections in the whole Brazilian Republic. The present value of the land is $3.25 an acre. Under the intensive farming system employed among the greater number of American farmers, in and out of the cotton district, this value, in short time, should literally jump to ten times this value. Virginia soil, an equitable climate and the kindly supervisory interest of the national Brazilian government combine to make this chance a golden one in every particular.
Particular attention has been given to the housing problems that will naturally arise in the colony for solution. Ample provisions have been provided by the national government to meet the demands in this volume. When a settler has paid his $800.00 for his 100 hectares (247 acres), three room house will be built for him at a cost of $250.00 which must be paid in advance. This plan insures a high grade of settlers for the colony and make it an easy matter to maintain a high degree of community cooperation. The first group of settlers will leave New York city on the 21st of next June.
No "Color line." a climate fit for the code, a soil rich as gold in its pro-
Steame
These duties are within the scope and
capacity of every man however humble his station or exalted his humblit!
For failure in these simple duties, in Mason can find no adequate compen-
sition in the more conspicuous and of tentation achievement of humble
tongue or pen. The simple duties of life constitute the real test of a
good man and Mason. Exalted station or conspicuous talent can not alone for failure in the humble dut-
t of life-Selected.
If you see a man who quietly an-
moldly moves in the sphere of his
life, who without blenching fulfills his
duties as a man, a subject a hus-
band and a father; who is plausible withor
hypoerfect benevolent without ostentat-
ion and aids his fellowman witho-
self-interest; whose heart beats war-
for friendship; whose serene mind
open for licensed pleasure; who no-
vidence stude will not despair nor
fortune will be presumptuous, an
who will be resolute in the hour o
danger; the man who is free fro
superstition and free from infidelity
who in nature beholds the finger of th
Eternal Master; to whom faith, he
and charity are not mere names wi-
t out any meaning; to whom proper-
mary even life, is not too dear for il
protection of innocence and virt
and in defense of truth.
The man who, towards himself, if a severe judge, but tolerant with the debilities of his neighbors; who know how to propagate intelligence without precipitation and to rebuke error without arrogance; who knows how rightly to estimate and employ it; means; who honors virtue in the macumble garment and does not fatify though clothing in purple; who administers justice to merger whether found in palaces or cottage. The man who without unlucky blushself, is loved by all noble-minded men, respected by his superiors, loved by his subordinates; the man who never proclaims what he hides, can do, will do, but where he is, will lay hold with dispensational courage circumstantial resolution, infatigable exertion and a rare paw of mind, who will not cease till he has finished his work, and who then will out pretension, retires into the multitude, because he did the good work not for self, but in the cause of good

ductive power, and a government strong in its dispensations of the law yet kindly in its official supervision of the people's interests, all go to make Brazil a most desirable "garden spot for all and any who want to break the pure social and industrial air of true Democracy." This is the plan. I have long desired to know about shouted an enthusiastic prospector colonist not long since. "Here is what I throw my hat in the ring of a new life and proceed to live for God and Humanity." Enthusiasm has ever gripped the natives since the government has given its approval to the plan of the Brazilian-American Syndicate. Old residents of Rio Januare declare that the American Negro is the only kind of engrant to an engrance to come into the country. Besides ties of blood they possess the tropical man in a degree that will make them easily recognizable and they fore easily nationalized. In any case Brazilians are very enthusiastic over the prospects of having a godly native of American Negro colonists come into the country, at this time, as settlers. If appearance goes for anything I truly looks good for the new colonists.

DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY
OPENED BY INSURANCE CO.
Chicago, Ill. Jan. 21st 2018 (By
The Associated Negro Press)--Making on-
dolls work for the race, before and
after death, and thus opening the
"door of opportunity" for the men and
women who have fitted themselves for
the business world, seems to be the in-
vincible motive that promises to make.
On ago one of the great insurance cen-
ters of the nation.
It is a well known fact, more fully comprehended today than ever before, that there is no opening in the insurance world for young men and women of the Negro race, nor do the great companies of the nation hold out any promise of an early change of conditions. The entire middle west, therefore, has become genuinely interested in the development of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, with home offices in Chicago, where announcement has just been made by President F. L. Gillespie, that the organization will soon be forced to seek larger business quarters which will be equipped in the most modern way, and employment given to several hundred men and women. For the information of the general public, President Gillespie was interviewed on the subject of insurance. He said:
"Insurance companies spend thousands of dollars each year fighting diseases and nursing back to health the pierken. It is to their financial interest to produce longevity in the human race, which is likewise the chief interest of every individual. While we often see the insurance nursing staff administering to the sick, we have only statistics to make known the vast amount of money, time and brain that insurance companies use to prevent disease. The Liberty Life Insurance Company, a legal reserve company, will be to the Negro group in this country what the white companies have been to their people. The entire capital of $100,000 will be invested in high grade mortgages on improved property purchased by colored people. This sum will be used to improve conditions of the Chicago Negro as well as other places where stockholders live. The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., which is similar to the Liberty, has amassed over a million reserve in seven years with a paid in capital of $125,000.00.
OPIGINS OF THE NEGRO PRESS
In a recent paper read before the Sociology Club of the University of Chicago it was pointed out that the history of the origin of the Negro Press in the United States corresponded exactly with the history of the origin of the press in one country after another in modern times. There
were no newspapers in England until the times of Cornwell, and they were called north by the revolutionary conflicts through which the people were passing when they turned from the power of the Shwart lungs to parliamentary government. The newspaper was not a pamphlet. Sometimes
pamphlet would come out personally when it assumed a running title and could be called periodical. Likewise there were no real newspapers. Frame until the French Revolution when a flood of printed matter posed forth to celebrate the rising of an unsuppressed group into liberty Newspapers flourished afresh among the famous thirteen colonies who brass from England in the same century fraternally true that in modern times no revolution takes place, no new group comes into its liberties without being heralded by a press.
Now, as Booker T Washington pointed out so ably in his book, "The Story of the Negro" this particular group has for many years been a group accustomed to freedom and larger opportunity. He cities an early memory on his mother awakening bliss one morning before daylight by her prayer for Abraham Lincoln and freedom, while she lay on his heap of rags in his master's kitchen. This has been the reason that as early as 1827 the rate began to get into print with "Freedom's Journal," published in New York on March 10, 1827. Naturally too, it speaks the voice of conflicts, for it rose in position to a paper published there which had attacked the Negro. In interesting in this connection is the publication of a single pamphlet by a colored man in 1829 of which three editions had to be printed. This was "Walker's Appeal." David Walker was born in North Carolina in 1818 but declaring he could not live where men were enslaved about him, and living free through his mother, he went to Boston. His pamphlet went so far as to suggest a slave incarceration as was so widely circulated even in the South that the mayor of Savannah wrote in consternation to the head of Boston demanding Walker's punishment, the Virginia legal nature, thrown into alarm and Louisiana red another law against free Negroes. The great progress in the group of a Negro Press dates really from the present generation! In 1830 the number of periodicals was 10; in 1831 it was 30; in 1830 however, the number had jumped to 154. The New Year Book for 1915-1919 gives above too for the present day.

When he was but a child, his mother was forced to leave him in the care of his grand mother, and flee to Savannah, Ga., during the Civil war. After freedom was declared, they were reunited in Savannah where he managed to require a meager learning. In Dec. 1878 when but a youth of 17 years, he secured employment at the Cotton Exchange as a porter under Mr. Bryan, at which place he served faithfully up to the time of his illness and subsequent death on last Saturday morning, rounding out a little more than thirty-four years of service. He was one of the oldest employees of this great commercial body, and is survived by point of service only by Mr. K. Dahlin a member, who is now the city's noble and venerable park and tree commissioner.

Assisted by the Most Expensive Array of Talent Ever Seen in the South HEAR HER SING THE "CRAZY BLUES"
In May 1861 he was happily converted and baptized by Rev. Geo. Gibbons, and fellowship shipped into the First African Baptist church. On Dec. 81st 1900 he was united in holy wedlock to Miss Mattie Duranul, his second wife in Savannah. Happily the lied as twins from the date of marriage to his death, sharing each other joys and peace, and sorrows too, if thore were, at antiqua.
On January 31st 1900 he was called to the deacon's staff of the First African Baptist churche, under the pastorage of the late Rev. Willis L. Jones with a group of six men: J. H. Sanders, Wm. H. Ward, Joseph W. Marks, J. A. Snyder, and (Chr. H. Johnson, all of whom survived him.
Despite the handcap of his early life and humble birth he made his way through in a commendable way. His tutors, though uneducated taught him to be thrifty, polite, faithful, honest and respectable and which he remembered in after years in youth and manhood. These teachings characterized his life in the services of his employers at the Cotton Exchange and his service in the church, filling the important and dignified office of deacons. The members of the Cotton Exchange have ordered their flag at half-mast and the church has draped a post and a chair as a mark of respect, to the memory of his services.
Do not these signs attest worthy of him? Citizens, friends and comrades, they do. He had a wild circle of friends in both races, because of his most pleasing personality and amiable disposition.
In his death his wife has lost a loving husband, the community an exemplary citizen, the Colton Exchange a faithful and trusty servant for two or more score years and the church a devout member and honored deacon.
Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
For all the plous dead:
Sweet is the savor of their names, And soft their sleeping bed
They die in Jesus, and are blest;
How kind their slumbers are!
From suffering and from sin released, They're freed from every snare
Fur from this world of toil and strife
They're present with the Lord;
The labors of their mortal life
End in a large reward.

Va., Jan 21th (By The Associated Negro Press)—The passage of an anti-lynch law and provision for a Negro regiment with Negro officers as part of the national guard by the state legislature and the adoption of a federal anti-lynch law and the enforcement of the 14th amendment to the federal constitution by reducing southern representation in Congress were recommended in resolutions adopted by the West Virginia State League of Colored People.

that it should not be the policy of the league either to endorse individuals for political office or to concern itself with appointments under state or federal governments, but rather do work for the enactment of such legislation as will make for the advancement of the race along civic, moral, education, industrial, and political lines or to oppose the enactment of harmful legislation.

MAYOR SAYS NO 'HU
BLUX" IN NEW YORK
New York, N. Y., Jan 23th (By The
Associated Negro Press)—Mayer Blyan
has directed Police Commissioner
Enright to dispsey any gathering o
the Ku Klux Klan in this neighborhood.
The Mayor has prompted the
object to any outside interferen
with his own Police Department in the
matter of maintaining law and order
an article he read in a newspaper yester
day. "Ku Klux Klan" to Invade
North in Nationwide Drive." The purposes of the Klan were described, the
Mayor said, and mention was made on
an "issue between the white race
all the colored races and the forcible."
The Mayor's letter to the Police Commissioner follows in part: "Under the Constitution equal rights and opportunities are accorded to every man, woman and child living our country. Every citizen, irrespective of race, color or creed, can grand equal recognition in the common affairs of life. This is recognized in all loyal Americans devoted to the principles of liberty, representative government and the supremacy of law. No group or set of men can be a law unto itself, nor arrogate to itself the right to rule others by reason of the possession of money, power or as self constituted guardians of liberty."
SUPPRESSIONS OF NEGRO VOTE IN SOUTH EXPOSED
Washington, D. C., Jan 26th (B)
The Associated Negro Press)—The meeting of the Census Committee of the House of Representatives during the past two weeks have been unusually interesting and at times thrilling; The southern members of Congress who are members of the Committee have smarted and squirmed under the arrangement of southern condition; and of the exposures which have been made of their suppression of the Negro vote in the South while insisting upon basing the Southern representation in Congress upon the Negro population.
The chief representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. in this exposure has been Hon. James A. Cobb, leading representative of the race of the District of Columbia, bar, who with matchless obequence and rare courage has met constitutional argument the sophistrates and debitals of the Southern Representatives. Mr. Cobb not only presented facts based upon Supreme Court other decisions but kept Republican members of the Census Committee supplied with authorities which could be used and were used in refuting the arrogant assertions of the Southern group. Mr. Cobb usually represents the N. A. A. C. P. here in Washington in all of its hearings before the Supreme Court and the Department of Justice.
