Farmers Attend Meeting At Tuskegee BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS RURAL PROGRAM OUTLINED ALL GO UP OR DOWN TO TGETHER Hampton, Va., Feb 9—"Some suggestions for improving the Rural life through the church, the school, and recreation" was the tople for the recent "Worker's Day" program of the thirtelfth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference. This tople, dealing with rural life needs and methods of improving rural life, attracted several hundred school officials and teachers, county and home-demonstration agents, and other community workers who are interested in rural organization and the making of good and happy citizens. A large number of intelligent and thrifty Negro farmers came to Tuskegee Institute specifically to attend the well-known workers' conference, which has today as much vitality as it had thirty years ago and a great deal more definiteness in program. Negro farmers have suddenly dropped from prosperity, with its opportunities to buy land, homes, houses horses and mules—not to mention automobiles—and farm equipment, including cattle and hogs, to hard times, with overshadowing debts to planters and bankers. They vividly remember the dark days of a few years ago, when cotton was selling at six cents a pound, if a market could be found, and when floods, droughts, and boll weevil attacks came like overwhelming scourges over large southern areas. Negro farmers of the progressive type are now looking hopefully to rural-life workers, to help them and their neighbors, some of whom are on the verge of starvation, to find a way out. These farmers, even when facing a world of uncertainty, except that of heavy financial loss, are looking with confidence to Tuskegee Institute and especially to Principal Motion for immediate co-operation and wise counsel in troubled times. Franklin O. Nichols of the American Hygiene Association, who was a "a forceful effective Y. M. C. A. worker among the colored soldiers at St. Nazareth," in his address on general health and sanitation, made a plea for "the removal of the rural root doctor, conjurer, and prophet" and the education of boys and girls in sex hygiene. "There are two reasons why Negroes move from the country—a lack of recreation and the present tenail system," he said. Leet B. Myers, field secretary of the National Child Welfare Association, showed educational art panels—lithographed and hand colored—on Parental care, Care of Babies, Hygiene for School Children, Character Forming, Citizenship, and Religion, which have been designed to meet the needs of child-welfare workers. "The education of the Negro child," said Secretary Myers, "has hitherto been too much in terms of white people. All through school life he finds in his text books much about white people and little or nothing about his own race. All the pictures he sees are of white people. Most of the books he reads are by white authors, and his heroes and heroes are white. If a Negro appears on the screen, he is usually a caricature or a clown. The result is that all the Negro child's idealism all his sense of the good, the great, and the beautiful is associated almost entirely with white people. The effect can be readily imagined. He gets the false impression that the Negro has little chance to be good, great, heroic, beautiful. The new material of the National Child Welfare Association will help to correct this unfortunate impression, for Negro boys and girls will see life illustrated in terms of their own experience." The Circle for Negro Relief, whose headquarters are in New York and whose object is to raise the health standard of colored people by supplying colored public-health nurses, by developing small community, health centers, and by furnishing emergency relief, is another national organization devoted to the task of reducing the wastage of human life. Executive Secretary Belle Davis, who lived for nine years in Cotton Valley, which is twelve miles from Tuskegee, and taught in the sticks, to (Continued on Page 7). Suit To Be Brought By Negro Farmers Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 9—(Associated Negro Press)—Suits seeking $25,000 damages will be brought in Federal district court against Tom Erwin, wealthy former of Oglethorpe county, by two Negroes alleged to have been held in a state of ponage, their attorney, Iloy S. Dreunan, says: They are Grover White and Walter Martin. The basis of the suit is false arrest and imprisonment, said to have been caused by Erwin, so that the men might be held in bond on his property. Martin told District Attorney Hooper Alexander he had been worked by Erwin eight years, receiving only his food and clothing. White told of serving three years in similar circumstances. On several occasions, the men said they escaped but were captured and flogged. This story is one of the many relating to prognage on which the district attorney's appeals "to the conscience of the people of Georgia" were based. Erwin was an overseer on the estate of the late Jim Smith, whose holdings of millions are involved in complicated litigation. URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING League Spends $185,000 During Year Securing Jobs New York, Feb. 9—The annual meeting of the National Urban League held at Russell Sage Foundation February 2nd, brought together an interested group of members and friends of the organization. Engene Kinnick Jones, the executive secretary presented a brief resume of the year's work calling attention to the growth of the work and the successful efforts of the various leagues in stabilizing labor and distributing workers in districts adjacent to the cities, especially during the period of unemployment. More than 50 personnel men placed by the league during the past three years have assisted the industrial secretaries in this work. The league and its branches spent $185,000 this year on their program of securing jobs and seeking to improve the living conditions and health of the worker and his family. The auditor's statement which was presented at this meeting showing that the National and New York Urban Leagues receipts were $41,761.09. John T. Eilen of Philadelphia reporting for the Nominating Committee recommended, the addition of three members to the executive board and presented the names of Mrs. John V. Moore of Boston; J. R. Paul Brock of Atlantic City and Dr. Plato Durham, dean of Emory College, Atlanta, Ga., who were unanimously accepted. Samuel Saths, New York banker, was one among several speakers who commented on the league's work and program. He spoke of the present financial depression but insisted that the service of the league to the community especially in its educational program must be carried on; that the eighteen placements aggregating salaries of $32,000 reported for the educational department by the executive secretary is suggestive of the work that may be done in this line. Following the annual meeting the organization went into executive session and completed the election of officers and committee for the year. Mrs. B. B. Munford and Dr. James H. Dillard were added as vice-presidents. Among the members of the board in attendance were L. Hollingsworth Wood, president; John T. Emlen and Mrs. E. B. Leaf of Philadelphia; Mrs. Henry G. Leach, Fred R. Moore, Miss Elizabeth Walton, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Roger N. Baldwin, Dr. William H. Brooks, Abraham Lefkowitz, W. R. Valentine, principal Bordentown School, and William H. Baldwin. A DAUGHTER A daughter was born Thursday of last week to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Butler, 1025 West 37th street. She will be called Mamie Sarah Lourinla. Negroes Changing In The South Minneapolis, Minn., Feb 9- The old South is breaking up in more series than one. Dr. Albert E. Jenkins, the anthropological expert, has recently pointed out four significant movements taking place among the colored people of this country. Are a rather many "The first is that the Negro since the Civil war has become more a migrant. A million or more has left the South and taken up residence in Northern cities. In the wake of this movement confessance race troubles as those that broke out in East Saint Louis, Chicago and Duluth. "A second movement is the increasing tendency of the Negro to intermarry with certain white stocks. This amalgamation has been taking place for some time, only of late has it become pronounced. In eastern cities the Negro is intermarrying with those of south European origin. The effects of racial mixture are not yet known." "A third tendency is the increasing political influence of the colored element. A movement is already on foot for Negroes to elect their own representatives to Congress wherever possible. This effort to acquire greater political influence is advocated by some of their own leaders. "A fourth movement is toward segregation. This is taking place in at least three separate areas of the South. Negroes flourish better in some region than whites, and not so well in others. In some parts of the south the whites are decreasing and Negroes increasing at such a rate that the results must soon be reckoned with. "The first conclusion to which these tendencies point is that further Negro immigration from the West Indies and Africa should be stopped. The admission of six thousand colored aliens every year from these regions only complicate the problem of racial relations. "The second conclusion is that segregation is unwise. It has not advanced the colored people of Haiti or Liberia. Proper distribution seems to be the path toward the Negro's development. "The third conclusion points to the necessity of getting exact data on questions of racial relations and intermixture so that problems arising herefrom may be intelligently handled." Johnson-Taylor Johnson Here Wednesday Will Appear in Recital to be Given at the Catholic Hall The Johnson, Taylor and Johnson trio, of Chicago, will appear here on Wednesday night at the Catholic hall. This is considered one of the most refined Negro aggregation and their renditions are being very highly received. The trio consists of L. Theodore Taylog, pianist; Marie Nike Johnson, soprano; and Glen L. Johnson, tenor. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have appeared here before, coming with the well known William Singer, while Mr. Taylor who comes to Saranauah for the first time, is reputed to be one of the most finished Negro pianists before the public. The aggregation comes here under the auspices of Charity hospital and very likely a very large and appreciative crowd will greet this excellent trio. The prices of admission will be 75 cents, reserved seats; and 50 cents, general admission. Negro Shriner Of Arizona Killed Phoenix, Ariz, Feb. 9—Associated Negro Press)—Harry Lyles, illustrious potentate of the colored Silters of Arizona, was shot and killed, Tuesday night by an unknown assassin. He was returning home from his work at the local telephone officewhere he has been employed for the past ten years. He was shot without warring and died thirty minutes later, without being able to give a description of his assailant other than to say he was a white man. Eight hundred dollars in reward have been offered for the arrest of the criminal. Five hundred dollars by his employer, C. H. McVey, manager of the Mountain State Telephone Company and three hundred dollars by Her. T. J. Stanford, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal church of which Lyles was a member. Lyles was one of the most popular and prominent colored men in Arizona.

D., L.L. D., of New Orleans, La., one of the two Negroes who were elected to the bishopric of Methodist Episcopal Church, last year, will be in Savannah next week as the guest of Asbury M. E. church. The coming of this distinguished churchman, eloquent orator and well known editor will be a rare treat to the citizens and it is likely that he will be greeted by very large crowds at both of his public appearances here. On Sunday morning he will fill the pulpit of Asbury church at the 11 o'clock service and on Monday night at 8 o'clock he will deliver one of his famous lectures at St. Phillip A. M. E. church, West Broad and Charles streets. While this prominent churchman is no stranger to Savannahians, he having been here on several former occaous, yet this is the first time he has visited Savannah since he was elevated to the bishopric some months ago. Savannahians will be pleased to welcome Bishop Jones and, no doubt, his appearances here will be greeted with capacity audiences. At the lecture Monday night there will be a small admission fee, general admission price being 35 cents and reserved seats being held at 50 and 75 cents. Immediately after the lecture a quangtie will be served in honor of the bishop at Asbury church. Health Organizations Hold Meeting Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 4-Following the meeting of the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, a special meeting of representatives of leading health organizations was held here, at which time, plans were outlined for co-operating with Tuskegee Institute in the National Negro Health Week. The organization represents and the persons who attended this conference were as follows: Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, director of colored work, Public Health Service Washington, D. C.; Franklin O. Nichols, assistant director, Department of Educational Activities, the American Social Hygiene Association, New York City; F. Rivers Barnwell, of Texas the Public Health Service, Wayco, Texas; Miss Belle Davis, secretary of the Circle for Negro Relief, New York City; T. M. Campbell and Harry Sims, U. S. Agricultural Demonstration Workers; Leet B. Myers, field secretary for Negro Work, National Child Welfare Association, New York City; C. J. Culloway, director Tuskegee Extension Department; Monroe N. Work director records and research, Tuskegee Inst. and Albon L. Holssey, secretary to the principal, Tuskegee Institute. The following resolution was adopted during the Workers' Conference: "In accordance with the resolutions adopted at our Inst Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference that the week of the anniversary of the birth of the late Booker T. Washington, be annually observed as Health Week, therefore, be it resolved that the week of April 3rd to the 9th, 1921, be designated and observed as Health Week. This conference urges upon the colored people throughout the South to make this observance and in every way to do what they can to help in this effort to improve our health conditions." Dr. Phillip Klein, associate director of the Field Service of the American Red Cross, was present during a preliminary conference and expressed a willingness and a desire to cooperate in putting over this important movement for better health among the colored people. Mamie Smith Plays To Capacity House Munie Smith, heralded as the great OKeh record star, and her Jazz Hounds appeared here Wednesday night at the Municipal Auditorium before the largest crowd that has ever been packed into that building. The performance was very mediocre in almost every respect and had but few real bright features, foremost among the latter being Minstrel Morris, the juggaler, whose stunts were not only very entertaining, but as clever as have been seen here for some time. The thirty-five hundred people who were crowded into three thousand seats were more or less greatly disappointed with the performance in more ways than one. First a very large portion of those who held reserved seat tickets were unable to finish their seats on account of the poor ushering and were forced to sit anywhere they could find seats and in many instances they were compelled to stand throughout the entire performance recordless out the entire performance a requirement of the fact that they held compons calling for choice seats for which they had paid from $1.10 to $1.65. Second, the management seemed only to think of gathering in the sheckles and nothing of the rights of the patrons. In fact, from the manner which the show was handled from the box office it resembled a great big "skin" game. And third, the performance itself was more or less rough and took on the aspect of an old barn or levee show, and there were but few features which in any respect came up to the highly colored press dispatches which preceded the show here. As a matter of fact, it was a good twenty-five or fifty cents show and should not have commanded a penny more. As stated above, the real star of the aggregation was Minstrel Morris who has real "big time stuff" and is an artist in his line, with Billy Nichols, the imitator, doing some very clever turns. The five Jazz Hounds were good and no doubt came up to expectations. Sam Cook and Speedy Mack in their Chinese act tried hard to be funny and partially succeeded while Parker and Mack put on some of the same old "stuff" in which they were seen here before. The latter were unnecessarily coarse and rough, presenting the kind of stunts that appeal to the gallery.

At the graduating exercises at the Cusler Street school, held yesterday afternoon 4 o'clock, forty-three pupils were given diplomas. The class is one of the largest to be turned out and has as its first honor pupil, Bessie McKelvey with Lewis Bogan as winner of second honor. The following program was carried out: America Beautiful. Salutatory—Lewis Bogan Oration—Robert Sims Duet—"Whispering Hopes". Class Prophec—Leonio Burroughs Class Odo—Rosa Barnes Quartet Lecture To Be Free To All Citizens LARGE AUDIENCE EXPECTED TO HEAR THE DISCUSSION ON THE "SECOND PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS" St. Phillip church, West Broad and Charles streets, will hardly contain the large audience expected to turn out to hear the matchless DuBois, scholar, editor, author and champion of freedom, who will deliver his splendid lecture 'The Second Pan-African Congress, next Friday night at 8:30 p.m. Dr. DuBois will come under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. W. G. Alexander, president: W. M. Mumphries, secretary. Colored people will welcome the address of Dr. DuBois because its subject indicates that it will deal with the complex problems which confront the darker races, and will in some sense be a review of what has been done as a result of the First Pan-African Congress as well as a resume of the forces of racial adjustment now at work in this nation. Dr. DuBols made the trip to Europe under many difficulties and disadvantages; but once there, he pressed the case of the Negro in America before the assembled representatives of the nations of the earth in the Great Peace Conference, and also held the First Pan-African Congress, attended by representatives from all over the world. As a scholar and author, Dr. DuBols is pre-eminent among the nation's strongest men of letters. He received his doctorate from Harvard University; studied abroad in Germany and France; taught at Wilberforce and Atlanta Universities; is author of "The Suppression of the African Slave Trade" (done in connection with the University of Pennsylvania) "The Souls of Black Folk", "Dark-water" and other works. He is editor of the Crisis magazine and an executive officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. DuBols has been known as a radical and has been sharply criticized for his theories and methods of working out the problem of the races in America; but forward-looking, many Negroes have always known him to be far from any incendiary or unreasonable propaganda. He has preached a doctrine of fair-play, justice and freedom for the Negro, which others have feared and lacked the ability to espouse and only from the weakling amongst the Negroes and the hatting amongst the other races have found fault. Through the efforts of the Association of which he is the directing genius, housing segregation and the acts defending it have been forever destroyed in America. Lynching has been brought to the attention of the American people more forcibly and with prospects of greater results that ever before. Jim-crowlism and the suffrage are under hotter fire than they ever were before, and the general case of the Negro more intelligently presented before the American bar of justice and equity. Following the public lecture, Dr. DuBois will be banqueted by the citizens at the Sarannah Home Association auditorium. Dr. W. G. Alexander, president of the local association the rights of the race and an eminent and himself a fearless champion of scholar and minister, will preside. An interesting symposium by local business men and citizens embracing a discussion of the burning issues of the day will be part of the program. African Coffee Company Formed Buffalo, N. Y., Feb 8—(Associated Negro Press) The organization of the Haitian African Coffee Company has been formed, composed of some leading men of the city, with a capital of $5,000.

Notes From Reedsville School During the past week the seventh grade of Reedsville had a composition work, the subject of which was "Why We Should Save." The letters were addressed to the Laborer's Penny Savings and Loan Company. The many arguments put forth by the class and the nicely written work were highly commended by President C. W. Gaines of the Lank; and at the meeting of the directors the class as a whole was given a prize of $250. On Friday evening the basket ball game was very successful. It was the best we have ever had.

C News The talk of the town was the mysterious marking of houses with a queer number, closely resembling the figure seven, which was taken to mean the house would be robbed, or that the youngest child would be kidnapped. Excitement ran high, as some members of the group thought it was the mysterious moving of the Ky Klux Klan and the police were notified. Two people were set upon in the southeastern section of the city by a wild crowd of people with sticks and stones. The police were hurried to the scene and in court if developed that they were "souls" for a photographer and claimed to mark houses where small children live. This, they claim, was done to draw trade. They were fined ten dollars each in the police court for marking the public streets.

At the Lincoln Temple Congregation al Church, Rev. Emory B. Smith, pastor, standing room was at a premium when the pastor held his audience spell bound with a unique motion-picture sermon entitled "The Power of Persuasion." This was the first in a series of sermons the pastor is to preach on "How Modern Christianity Must Meet the Needs, of the Hour." Something unusual happened at this service, so dramatic was the pastor in bringing the truth home to his hearers that hardly a person refrained from shedding tears. --- General John J. Pershing before the House Committee on Military Affairs urged the transfer of the body of an unidentified American soldier from France for burial with impressive ceremonies in Arlington National Cemetery. Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican, of New York, introduced a bill to this effect. Gen. Pershing urged that the soldier selected be unidentified as to either rank, branch of service, or color, so that he might be truly representative of the citizen-soldier of America. Little by little the light breaks in, and if this memorial is carried out along the lines that it was worked out in France, it will go a long way toward bringing to pass the time when reason and gratitude take the place of prejudice and hate. B. F. Leighton who has been dean of the law school of Howard University for forty years has been retired and elected Dean emeritus of the law school. Mason N.

MAID AID ASSOCIATION MIDDLE PACE FIRST IN SERVICE Vagrancy and unemployment are so inter-related that it would be idle to contemplate the existence of one without the other. They are handmaidens, the one the cause and result of the other, and any worthy study of the evils growing out of the one must take into purview the aspects of the other as well. The poor, the common folk, make up the vagrant and unemployed classes, and when the conditions which make for vagrancy and unemployment are present, naturally affecting great masses of the population, many vexing social and economic difficulties result, not the least of which are suffering and crime. The poor, the masses, have little or no directing, influence to bring about the conditions which cause unemployment. The juggling of great industrial, economic, commercial and financial forces belongs by custom and usage, if not by right, to the capitalist classes and hence they must be brought to feel a direct responsibility for the troubles which arise from their manipulations. We have in America, to a larger extent than at other places, a powerful class whose perfect organization of forces and whose control of the natural laws of supply and demand are such that they can provoke a financial, industrial or other crisis when there is no real cause or basis for it. Control of the money market, control of the policies of great industries because controlling the capital inverted and control of the press, all these combine to make a power as irresistible and as cruel in its far-reaching consequences to the masses as unscrupulous and money-seeking men will allow it. Much of the depression in industry, in the market for farm products and staple commodities, may be traced to artificial forces under "control" and clever manipulation of the "money-mad." It seems heartless in view of the helplessness of the dependant classes that so much should be made of vagrancy in these days of closed mills and idle plants. As crime increases usually in times if industrial and economic depression, it is only natural to assign its cause to vagrancy, little considering that if all criminals were of the unemployed classes their number would be small in comparison with the great total number of the unemployed. The public, the government, should study and handle the case of the vagrant classes with unwonted caution and patience so as to reduce the hardship of the honest and deserving unemployed, the victims mayhaps of the machinations of those who feel not the harsh hand of suffering and the law. It is wrong in many cases to make wholesale arrests of idle men, because of the number who are honestly without work and are powerless to escape their predicament. It is unjust and un-Christian to drive the very men who made the sacrifices during the past few years both at home and in Europe that America would be no worse off for the great and cruel war than it is. We doubt if the government, local and otherwise, is taking the earnest and serious interest in this matter of unemployment, its cause and effect, possible remedies for relieving it, as the problem deserves. Some cities and city governments are giving intelligent, expert consideration to this grave menace; civic associations and welfare organizations are rendering splendid service, looking toward relieving the distress of the unemployed. A few cities however are driving the unemployed from their gates or throwing them into prison as vagrants. Surely "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." Savannah people, business, professional and from all walks of life, will turn out en masse to pay honor to the distinguished guests who came to visit us next week, Bishop R. E. Jones of the M. E. church on Sunday and Monday, and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois on Friday night. Both of these men are leaders of the Negro race in the truest and fullest sense of the word, not alone for their exceptional qualifications and fitness for their work, but more because of their fearless, uncompromising insistence upon the justice and fairness of racial adjustments sought to be made in this nation. Neither could be suborned to do a mean and little thing, nor acquiesce in any compromise or arrangement which did not carry with if their strongest, sincerest and most conscientious conviction that the proposal was founded on absolute justice and right. One of these distinguished men, Dr. Jones, is a noted minister and preacher; the other, Dr. DnBols, won distinction in the world-field of journalism and literature, of economics and sociology, not as compared to any narrow class of men of particular race or advantages, but as compared to the most scholarly men of the age and world. It was once said of DnBols, by one of the mast noted American scholars and teachers: "How tragic; possessed of the culture and learning of the ages, and yet with a dark skin." Both men are intensely interested; in the program of race development; neither is concerned with private fortune or money making; and they are found everywhere the interest of the Negro are being counselled and planned. They are here to meet the people, from humblest to highest, and to go over with us the plans which are now being waged for the good of the whole people. And though their lines fall in very different spheres of the world's work, their goal is one and the same. Let the whole people be conscious of the honor and distinction which comes to us to entertain these really big men of the world, these unselfish, devoted advocates of full freedom for the race, and let us spare no palms to show them that we are deeply sensible and appreciative of the honor they do us by their coming and by their help. COLORED MEN ON JURIES It is the duty, as it also ought be the privilege, of Negro citizens to do jury duty in their turn whenever it falls their lot. Through some cause it seldom ever happens, now-a-days, that colored men are chosen, and so in the past decade the practice has so far gone into disuse that is unusual to see colored men doing jury duty. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a Negro citizen serving his state this week and functioning as a real citizen by doing jury duty in the Superior Court. He in all respects is honorable, possessed of rare judgment and fully capable of the duty and responsibility which the service imposed and presumed. We do not doubt, even that his counsel and clear vision were very valuable to his associates in the serious capacity to which they were committed, and we believe he was so regarded. There are many other men, similarly fitted and capable, to do this service and to exercise this prerogative of the good citizen, if only the orderly processes would cast the lot upon them. It has been urged upon occasions that the absence of Negroes from jury service, through long practice, tended to give the impression or give the feeling to some people that the Negro was not the equal of other men before the law. He is a strong man, wonderfully well polsed and of rare fairmindedness, who can resist the leaning toward this feeling of inferiority; and abundant experience with the fate of Negro accused before the bar of justice would tend to prove that, in practice and fact, if not in theory, this impression does prevail. It will tend to eradicate any such tendency in the minds of those who feel thus to see Negroes taking their regular turn at serving the courts. This does not mean that Negroes charged with crime are entitled to be tried by juries composed of or embracing Negro jurors. That would be discriminating and unjust, sitting up the very principle which we seek to remove. All men, white or black, are equal before the law; and every man selected for jury service is presumed and swears to judge impartially and "true verdict give" when put upon his "volr dire," being sworn. What is meant, then, is that men shall be selected in their turn as the law provides to try whatever issues may come before them, without distinction or difference of any kind. As colored men shall be selected from time to time for the jury service, the rank and file of the race will be encouraged that the courts are no respecters of persons, that a man is tried by his "peeers," and that absolute justice and equity is being met out in all cases. We shall have no more of the rumor that the Negro is at a serious disadvantage before the law, and we feel the practice will have its due salutary influence to increase a respect and trust of the law and the courts, will reduce crime and lessen litigation. We are glad to see a good citizen. make the sacrifice to serve his state in such a splendid citizenship duty because it shows the Negro's willingness to assume his part of the community burden and responsibility, because it is a grave duty and responsibility, and it shows our disposition to co-operate wholeheartedly in the enforcement of the law. We hope this is only the beginning of frequent service of this kind by colored men, and that we shall see a return of the day when it was not so rare to see our men performing this duty, and when, as we believe, conditions and, relationships were generally very much better than they are now.

LET'S GO First Hand Knowledge Creates Interest Boston, Mass., Feb. 8—(Associated Negro Press)—That real first hand knowledge of the Negro creates a genuine interest in his welfare, is attested in the case of Mrs. Margaret Deland, the writer, who declares in a statement, "I regard this problem as of very grave importance to the nation. It needs the enthusiastic support of all persons interested in the welfare of the country. In France the Negro soldier fought for democracy and died for it. Those who survive have come home and are not allowed to live democracy. They learned a lesson on the battle-field which they will never forget." Mrs. Deland cannot explain why she had not regarded the Negro question of supreme importance in all the years of travel and observation which she enjoyed before the war. She confesses that she became an enthusiastic convert following the visit made at Hampton and wishes everybody interested in the welfare of the country might study the question at first hand as she has done.

Perty, Attorney "On November 18, 1920," he said, the Alabama State Department of Education reported that 20 Negro schools in Montgomery county were not opened on account of the lack of teachers. There are only 70 Negro schools in this county, whose Negro population is not as large as that in other Black Belt counties. All the white schools in the county were reported as having their share of teachers and as progressing splendidly. The pay of Negro teachers is scarcely half that of the white teachers. Last summer and fall Macon county, for example, was advertising for colored teachers at $35 per month, with board to be furnished by the colored people. Williamsburg, S.C. is short 40 Negro teachers. Burke county, Ga., one of the largest cotton producing counties, with many thousands of Negroes, offered Negro teachers $25 to $15 per month—and these salaries had been increased. Colored people in many instances have supplemented the low salaries so as to bring up the salaries to $40, $50, $60, and $75 per month. The only way to get better teachers is to pay better salaries and furnish them with better accommodations." Benjamin F. Hubert, director of the Tuskegee Agricultural Department, offered the farmers and workers the following country-life program: "Give boys and girls a share in the farm business; educate children as though they were expected to live in the country; have a good home; teach people how to play; keep an uplifting community program always before the people, dress well, even though you do live in the country; let all groups get together and organize a country-life commission to study the needs of Negro life." The following committee will continue the study of Negro country-life and will equit the cooperation of other rural workers and students of country life problems: Dr. Robert R. Molon, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Monroe N. Work, editor of the "Negro Year Book"; John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Alabama; Harry Simms, Tuskegee Institute, local district agent of the States Relations Service; Benjamin F. Hubert, chairman, director of Tuskegee Agricultural Department; D. A. Waltleton of Tuskegee Institute; and Wm. Anthony Aery of Hampton Institute. Cooperation of White Leaders White leaders north as well as south, are coming to see that there is no real conflict between the best interests of white and colored citizens. Dr. A. J. Dickinson of Birmingham who represented Dr. S. W. Welch of Alabama State Board of Health, for example, expressed the appreciation of white citizens for the cooperation which Alabama Negroes have uniformly given in fighting disease. "We must all have good health or nobody will have good health," he said. "We must all help to curtail mortality, especially infant mortality. Most people do not appreciate the relation of a good cow to child conservation. One tenth of our money loss from illness would have eliminated illness. We face the problem of saving manhood and conserving social conditions. The relation of compulsory education in the south to the Negro child, including the indifference on the part of parents, the insufficiency of school facilities, and the labor of children in farm operations, was discussed by white and colored leaders who have the one big common interest of securing for the South a better citizenry. I. C. Lambert of the Alabama When a colored presiding elder of State Department of Education, who the Metropolitan Episcopal church wears is state supervisor of the colored neck suit, a dark grey flannel shirt, schools stated that last year 117th Negro school reported and that 1089 of in place by a simple clasp pin, then this number were taught in buildings laymen sit up and begin to listen, for other than regular school houses; that it is clear that an unusual man is dilapidated homes or churches, about to speak. The Rev. William For some sections "a sawyer-back Jones of Montgomery. Ala., created building, eighteen by twenty feet, in this impression at Tuskegee. He out which 100 Negro children have been lured, with clearness and force and enrolled has been typical. "The in language which everybody could dearth of teachers," he declared, "has easily understand, the progressive been acting against the enforcement of work of his church, through the aid of the Alabama compulsory educational the great Centenary fund, in develop law.

Churches are asking pastors to give corner crowd of singing gangsters. their entire time to single congrega- Miss Smith, the "star", appeared on under the Pastorate of The Late U L. Houston The house of worship of the above named church is located on Bryan street near its western terminus in that part of Savannah, known as Yamacaw. The ground is historical because of its being the first ever owned by the colored Baptists of Savannah for church purposes. The house of worship, erected many years ago and in which thousands of souls camp to a saving knowledge of Christ, finally became so delapidated that it became necessary to tear it down. For a number of years Rev. Ulysses La Houston has been pastor of this aged church. Though the task was herculean he and his church determined in 1853 to remove the old house which had become unsafe and erect upon the same 505 a handsome brick edifice. Plans were prepared for the new building and after having the old building photographed, it was, in October 1874, torn down. In December following the foundation for the new building was laid. Work was kept up at intervals from that time to December 1884, a period of eleven years. The building is of brick. It is 55 x 55 feet outside. The audience room is 51 x 70 inside. A gallery is 18 feet deep extends the whole length of two sides and one end. Dive windows one each side, 7 x 12 x 12 feet, giveere light and ventilation. A window of the same size over the pulpit and two smaller ones in the front end give additional air and light. The ceiling is 30 feet above the floor. The seating capacity is 2,000 persons. Gas is used to light this building. They have a good bell wishing 550 pounds. The entire cost so far has been twenty five (525,000) thousand dollars. The additional cost of pews and other embellishment will probably be 55,000. This is the handsomeness and most coolly church edifice owned by a col- ored congregation in Georgia. Dr. Hosson and his mould hand have done a grand work and created for them a monument of praise that must endure through ages. This is more evident when the fact is remem- bered that every cent of this money has been raised in Savannah and that the building is now clear of dust. Well done, noble old Forest City! All classes and denominations contrib- uted to this undertaking. It may be of some interest to know the plan adopted by Rev. Houston and his church to raise this large amount of money. Five adult collections were set for each Sabbath when the month carried 1 Sabbaths, and when the month had only 1 Sabbath some night in the week would be substituted. These collections were designated as the $1.00, $2.00, $3.00 and $5.00 Sabbaths and each member was expected to contribute one of these amounts each month. The public had the privilege of joining in these collections and large numbers did so. Dr. Houston has given a strong illustration of the wisdom of systematic work in collecting money and we recommend it to our churches everywhere.—The Georgia Baptist issue of August 6, 1854 on her own narrative, reported on the dying health needs of rural Nexos. She also described the cooperative methods which the Circle has successfully employed to carry out its health program. This work deserves serious consideration, because there are some 500,000 Nexos seriously sick all the time in the southern states and the annual financial loss to states on account of Nexo sickness and death is over 524,000,000 of which over $157,000,000 might be saved annually through summary improvement and health education. the program in three numbers and her efforts did not in any wise throw the crowd into a state of estacy and thanks to her five supporting "jazz hounds" the weakness of her conditions were greatly minimized. She has a very ordinary voice and her stage manners are rather crude. FARMERS MEETING HERE NEXT WEEK (Continued from Page 1) Powell.

Knights of Columbus Evening School Peter Rabbit, the favorite hero of the "New York Tribune" daily story, has decided more than once, that the lives of the people of "the green forest" are linked together. In such a way that we view the various movements growing out of the recent war. This fact is impressed on one every evening at the Knights of Columbus evening school, as the typewriters echo the sound of those machine guns of muggy battlefields. An echo that summons now for a better preparation for life. The operator has been intensely interested in the education of our youth for a period covering a quarter of a century, during which time he has studied some excellent evening schools, in none of which has he seen more interest shown on the student's part than in the K. of C. evening class. Mr. Frank Dilworth's class in shoe-making is showing remarkable proficiency. Mr. Paul Steele has a splendid class studying the science of the Egyptian embalming. Mr. W. E. Smith, the experienced tailor, is doing a No. 1 work with the twenty-five alert young men. Then besides, Prof. Tibbs of the commercial department, Mrs. Middleton, Mrs. Ford and Miss Ellis' are doing splendid work in the academic department. This is also true of the class in band music, under the able direction of Mr. P. L. Curley. A very serviceable garage is under construction for the class in automobile mechanic.
