NEGROES WILL WATCH CAEFULLY MOVEMENTS OF ADMINISTRATION Reorganization of Party In the South Given Much Concern Chicago, Ill. Feb. 22nd (Associated Negro Press)—With the formal inauguration of Warren G. Harding of Ohio, as President of the United States, at hand, it is appropriate and fitting to state certain facts. The first managing these facts is this: American Negroes are quite wide awake on all things political and economic. They will not be "footballs" during the next administration, to be kicked around at will, but if there is to be a football game, they propose to be players and not the ball. That fact is established. There are two other important things: The American Negroes propose to be 100 per cent efficient in two respects where they have not functioned hereof, with the highest degree of success. These respects are: First, Publicity; second, organization; It requires money for both, and the decision is unanimous to supply all the "shews of war" needed to "arrive." President Harding, himself, will be fair, tolerant, considerate, patient, diplomatic earnest, sincere, even determined. He will not se spasmhelle, he will not "wave the bloody shirt" in the face of the white South, and all who have any such dreams or hopes may well wake up. The President of the United States has tremendous power for good, or evil, and his influence merely by outward or deed is almost unfinished. Woodrow Wilson harmed rachael progress in America by slasher, outslayer rather than outsmarter. He failed miserably. President, in saying or doing even small things, as things go with a president, to create better feeling and relationship between the race. He knew, he was importunt, but he remained silent and indifferent. President Harding is surrounding himself with "masters mind" and colored Americans are looking carefully into this list to see "Who's Who." For example, they know that Congressman Bassom Scow, of Virginia, who is getting high in party councils, is "lily White" in his acknowledged tendencies. He is a statesman that must be watched closely; he represents an element gaining influence in the South, an element dangerous to the colored American welfare, incidentally, he is on the committee for reorganization in the South, and has been mentioned for a cabinet, place. But the "types of the people" are on Slemp, and if former President Taft, and Vice-President Coolidge can gather the feeling of the people in no uncertain forms, so can Slemp, and all whom he represents, Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio, and Will H. Hays, of Indiana, will be the politicians of the new administration, with such men as Senator Cornell for him. Senator New, of the same state and Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, being an active part of the inner circle. These men know colored people, and colored people know them. The colored people will not hostile for one minute to take up with them all the big subjects of the day, and it is fair to say they will be given respectful hearing. Few colored leaders, regardless of what they have known of President Harding heretofore, will have the privileges of "gifting to the President" personally. This will be no indication of his lack of interest, but it will be physically impossible for him to see everyone, therefore "big things" must be accomplished through representatives. George R. Christian, the President's secretary, will be available to a large number, and will be a good spread, as he is a splendid type of American manhood. President-elect Harding has a comprehensive knowledge of the Negro, his problems, his weaknesses, his ambitions and his determinations. The President-elect is not only a student of conditions, made so naturally through long newspaper experience, but he will enter the office as President with the largest personal acquaintance of race leaders that any President ever had before. With the new administration in power, the American Negroes are entering upon a new era of progress. It will not be "race horse" progress, but it will be certain and lasting; it may be best with disappointments, difficulties, and even distressing periods, but a new day will dawn March fourth. NATIONWIDE PROPAGANDA TO PUT PROTOCOL BEFORE PUBLIC Washington, R. G., Feb. 23rd (Associated Negro Press)—Immmediately following the inauguration of President-elect Harling, a nationwide propaganda effort will be made, with the co-operation of newspapers, churches, public men, and organizations, to no qualitate the general public with all the facts in matters affecting the welfare of African Americans. was falsely Mary McSweyneen, and that the Jewish people of the country have, "in the twilting of our eye" raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to combat Henry Fonk's anti-Jewish propaganda. It is thought, therefore, that 15,000,000 colored people should be aroused sufficiently to have their problems fittingly and extensively before the general public. The Savannah Tribune. BENTS HOUSE TO COLORED TENANTS AT REDUCE RATE Waynesboro, Penns., Feb. 23rd (Associated Negro Press)-William Sellers, colored, of Shippenburg, is a union landlord. Appreciating the difficulty members of his race have in securing suitable homes within the average income and desiring to raise the living standard of colored people in so far as in his power, Mr. Sellery has elected white tenants of one of his houses in South Fourth street, this place, and resumed the house to a colored family at a reduction in rent. Mr. Sellers, who formerly lived in Chambersburg and was a cab driver, now is a day laborer in Shippensburg. He is a thirty, honest and hard working citizen and is the owner of several properties His attitude on the housing, problem was learned when the white tenant desired to continue the lease. Mr. Sellers told him that he believed time had come to apply a little idealism to one of the most serious problems of the day and that told him of his decision to rent the house to a colored man at reduced rates. The house, a double one, rented for $10 on side per month. It now rents for $7 to the colored tenant, large industrial centers in every State and away from the smaller cities and agricultural districts. "In Chicago the Negro population increased 65,491. In East Saint Louis the rate of increase was less than the previous decade, but that in all probability was due to the bloody riot which occurred there and which had the effect of forcing many of the Negroes either to return South or seek homes in other cities. In St. Louis the increase was 25,048. "Cities of over 100,000 in which the percentage of increase has been greater in the colored than the white race include Chicago, Bridgeport, Indiana napolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Camden, Albany, Cleveland, Glencross Darton, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Norfolk, Youngstown, Rockingham, Detroit Jersey City and Troy. "In Atlanta, Birmingham, Washington, Jacksonville, Louisville, Baltimore more, Syracuse, Memphis, Richmond and Houston the percentage of increase has been greater in the latter than in the colored population. The Now Orleans' figures fall in the latter class though there is always a steady moveover here of colored people in the city districts not only of Orleans, but of Mississippi "The reason for the increase of Negro population in the cities is easily explained Higher wages, more opportunities for amusement and better housing conditions are the lodestones which lure the colored brother from the farm.

MISS. FARMERS HOLD GATHERING Dr. Geo. Carver, Gives Demonstrations Negroes Around Utica Steadily Gaining In Land Ownership Utica, Miss., Feb. 10th—Today has been a great day for the farmers of Mississippi, it being their annual gathering at the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Utica, Mississippi, for the purpose of discussing their problems and trying to find a way out. The number and character of the men, present, alone, would have been sufficient to guarantee the success of the gathering; but the fervor with which these people discussed their problems and the earnestness with which they sought to find solutions, will long be remembered by those present. Dr. Gee W. Carver, the famous Tuskegee chemist, came over with his annual demonstration which always well high confounds his audience. He had just returned from Washington where he spoke before a joint committee of the House and Senate, on his discoveries regarding the peanut, and it will be remembered that his paper before this august body changed the opinions of the senators and representatives to such extent that certain legislations regarding southern states, underwent radical change. White friends came from far and near to show their appreciation of the work being done at the Uttica Normal and Industrial Institute and also, to hear this famous Negro chemist. While here, Dr. Carver had invitations to speak to various host in the state of Mississippi, but could accept only one or two owing to the fact that he was compelled to return to Alabama. In regard to the progress of Negroes reports showed that the commune surrounding the Uilca Normal and Industrial Institute, Negroes has steadily gained in land ownership for the past eighteen years; so that at the present time, about 30,000 acres of land are owned by them, and although this is small by comparison it still shows that commendable progress has been made. William H. Holzoland, principal of the Uilca Normal and Industrial Institute, reelected for *the fifteenth time, president of the Uilca (Mississippi) Negro Farmers Conference, delivered an address to the farmers as usual, in which he gave very wholesome advice.* Many an wonderful were the stories told by the farmers. H. D. Ford of Church Hill, Mississippi told of how in an humble war, a few years ago, he began to try to get up in the world. Today, he owns 1,000 acres of land, the highest tax payer of his race in his county and pays $10000 income tax, is respected by all his neighbors, white and black. Solomon Hitch, another remarkable character, owns a farm in Madison county. He told how, when he married, he determined not to obey the law of "ration day." That is, he agreed with his wife not to go to the plantation store every Saturday to get a week's rations. They agreed to live at home and they did. With two chickens and two roosters, a thirty-four dollar penny and a milk cow they ran their own farm, little farm, selling eggs. Saturday and a little butter and milk; bringing back in return, ten cents worth of rice, fifteen cents worth of flour, eight cents worth of sugar, and so on; to the extent of his eggs and butter. In this war, he got a start, and is the proud owner of a large plantation surrounded with live stock possessing an automobile, and splendid house and many other accessories of civilized society. These are but samples of the wonderful stories of struggles which could be told of Negroes in the South who are unarmed upon an army. Tuskegee, Institute, Ala., Feb. 17th—Dr. Robert R. Moton returned today from St. Augustine, Florida, where he had an interview with President elect Harding on inter-rational matters. While in St. Augustine he addressed a representative colored audience at the First Baptist church of which Rev. J. H. Moore is pastor. On the return trip, a group of Jacksonville friends headed by Mr. C. H. Powell, prevented upon Dr. Moton to address a large meeting in interest of Community Service at the Stanton High school. In his Jacksonville address Dr. Moton said, "There was a time, a very long time, when white and colored people in the South talked about each other. We heard what the white people said about us because it got into the newspapers but the white people seldom_hope what the said about them. We heard that the small group of white and colored people sitting together and talking frankly to each other about their problems. In this way white people are getting a broader and more intimate knowledge of our handicaps and difficulties. These inter-racial groups are slowly but surely leaving the hum of justice and human brotherhood. There may be a better way to solve this problem than through operation and understanding, but I do not know of it." Dr. Molon was accompanied by-Warren Logan, Treasurer, and Albon L. Holsey, the Secretary to the Principal. First Gai Regiment Election Officers The six local companies of the 1st Ta. Regiment U. B.

WHITE MEN DESTINED TO RULE THE EARTH Chicago, Ill. Feb 23rd (Associated Negro Press)—Arthur Irwinbane, the well-known editor and philosopher is of the opinion that anmalogism is to be the final outcome of all racial difficulties, and that the last great race will be white, which he claims, should satisfy everyone. His opinion is: "The white men are going to rule the earth, because they are a little nearer to civilization than the other colors. Not brown men, or yellow men, or black men, or the hairy Alnus that once owned Japan, are destined to rule. Black, white, yellow and brown will disappear and go thru their later incarnations in white skins. And that ought to suit them, just as it suits the white rulers now to rid of the red hair; projecting jaws, and the great canine tooth that once marked them all." Mrs. A. E. Allen of Savannah, Ga. has been appointed by the National Beauty Culture League with headquarters in Philadelphia, Pa., as State Organizer, for the purpose of organizing local leagues throughout the state of Georgia. Plans are now being perfected to organize a league in Savannah, and it is hoped that every Hair Dresser will become interested, and that every system will be represented.

Holder, well known Negro, who according to advices from Valdosta yesterday, was believed to have been kidnapped by a part of white men in Lowndes county, is at his home here suffering from a broken arm, and other very painful brushes, inflicted supposedly by citi- zens of Lowndes county before they found out that Holder was not the man they wanted for shooting at a white man named Blanton, near Valdosta last Friday afternoon. Holder came here Sunday night, immediately following his release by the four white men who took him from the crowd at Mineola Saturday afternoon. It is said that he was seperately beaten besides having his arm broken, by the whites, but that soon after his injuries had been inflicted, the white men found that Holder was innocent. Holder bears an unusually good reputation all through this section, and has many friends, both among the whites and blacks. Expressions here today among a number of citizens show sympathy that what is termed an outrage was committed upon a purely innocent man who has done so much to help his race, and who stands so well through this section. And much war work among the Negroes during the war. He is an officer of the Supreme Circle, an insurance company, and went to Yallosta Friday, from Albany, his headquarters to attend a meeting in the moths and pay some sick and death Friday afternoon we went to the home of Isaac Feldt, colored, lifting on the Milltown road, several miles northeast of the city. While he was there "Budd Felder," son of Isaac Felder, fired several times at a white man named Blanton, who was seen standing near the Felder hog pen. Blanton left the hog pen and later Holder came to Valdez-oita and went to his meeting at Minneapolis Saturday. After his work there was completed he was standing near the road in a crowd of Negroes and an automobile containing four white men stopped and one of the men asked for Holder. Holder stepped forward and was told to get in the car and the party drove off, carrying him to the woods where he was beaten severely before the men found out that he did not have anything to do with the shooting at the Felder place and then released. ORMER SAVANNAHAN MAKING GOOD Prince Clarke formerly of this city, who is now residing in Magnolia N.

LARGE NUMBER OF BISHOPS ATTEND A.M.E. CONFERENCE A TYPEWRITER Shakespeare students will, no doubt, be interested in the following statement relative to this master poets' work, says prof. F. R. Lampkins of the Ga. State College: "There are people, it is true, who hold that Shakespeare himself owned and used a typewriter, because he makes Hamlet close his letter to Ophelia with words, 'While this machine is to him,' but other commentators assert that the machine Hamlet men tions was a horseless vehicle invented by the husband of Mistress Ford of the Merry-Wives of Whalson and used by Shakespeare when taking his plays to Bacon to be properly cryptogrammed." NEGRO CONGRESSMEN IS PREDICTION OF DEAN Migration Negroes To North Makes It Possible New York, N. York, F. Feb. 23rd (Associated Negro Press)—In a recent ad dress here, Dean Kelly Miller of the Junior College of Howard University, Washington, D. C., predicted that with in six years there will be Negro Representatives from New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago in Congress. This will be one of the political results of the migration of some 600,000 Negroes from the South during the last decade. He read census statistics showing the Negro population in New York to be 175,000, in Philadelphia 124,000, in Washington and Chicago 100,000 each. "From these concentrations there will develop a political self consciousness," he added. You will find that these communities will be sending representatives to City Councils and State legislatures. After a while they will send representatives to the Congress of the United States. It is safe to pre dict that within four or six years there will be a Negro Congressman from New York City, one from Philadelphia and one from Chicago. The "population is sufficiently large to come within requirements of Congress districts." FARMERS HOLD CONFERENCE Second Annual Session at Doreenlea Academy, McIntosh, Ga. McIntosh, Gr.

Houston, Texas, Feb 23rd (Assist- ated Negro Press)—The minimum wage law which is to be introduced at the coming session of the legislature is sure to cause a bitter fight in this state. The objection to the law is based largely on the fact that it is applied fatly over the state to colored, white and Mexican women alike. The Texans content that colored and Mexican women should not receive a guarantee of $12.00 per week; and while the Federation of Labor is fighting for the bill it probably will be defecated.

Brown ADMISSON CHILDREN 10 CENTS ADULTS 15 CENTS Republican Women Leaders Deposed New's has reached your correspondent that H. H. Pace, so-called acting chairman of the Republican State Central committee, a resident of New York, has issued orders displacing Messamnes H. R. Knutler, G. S. Williams and W. H. Holcomb as executives over the womans departments of the Republican party. In this state and appointed others in their stead. In fact, the new chairman, so-called, has sent out a circular letter calling some meeting of the women to meet soon in this city. If our information is correct, we can not see the wisdom nor justice in deposing the women who, at a loss of time, and with their own money, worked up an interest in our women to enter whole heartedly into the spirit of good citizenship by registering and preparing to vote. The leadership of the women, who have been deposed, gave perfect satisfaction to the people of Georgia, they have the respect and confidence of all classes, and it is a miscarriage of justice to remove them and place unknown parties at the head, who over they be. The successful work of the deposed women had already begun to bear fruit, they were building up an organization that would have been felt for years to come. a party, will sit as dumb brutes and permit such high, handed, ungentlemanly methods to be heaped upon four of the most prominent women in the race to be humiliated by such tactics; if they do, they are not worthy of the name of men. Another Negro Lentil One of his most revolting crimes in the annals of the state was staged in Oceane County a few miles from Athens Wednesday February 16, when a blood-thirsty mob, hell bent on the destruction of a human, being without giving him a chance to have his day in court to prove his innocence or guilt, wrested Jno. Lee Eberhart from the Clarke county jail and burned him to a stake near the scene of the crime which he had been accused of. From newspaper reports the man protested that he was not guilty to the last, but the frenzied mob of hoodlums, with their lust for the Negro's blood, paid no heed to his crises and moans as he pleaded for money, but continued to heap coals upon his prostitute form until it was burned to a crisp. As to the guilt or innocence of the dead man. COURTÉSY SERVE THE FUNER MONROE UN Belle Monroe Edwyn Toland J. Edwyn Lady Embalmer W. L. P. WHOLESALE AND FRUIT AND COMMISSION 305 ST.

THERE'S SO LITTLE WORK ATTACHED TO IT THAT I HAYNT THE GALL TO CHARGE ANYTHING Copyright. 'GAINING RECONITION New York, N. Y., Feb. 21 (Associated Negro Press)—The growing importance of the colored actor in both the dramatic and yaudorite field is attested by the fact that the Bill Board, the leading American publication devoted to the amusement field, has opened a department devoted to news affecting colored performers. This feature page is edited by J. A. Jackson late of the daily New York Globe, and is attracting wide attention among both white and colored actors, and theatre managers. Mr. Jackson who sees great possibilities in this recognition on the part of the Bill Board, brings to the work ability of a high character. Wildly (travelled a man of large acquaintance with, in intimate knowledge of the stage, as well as being one of the really capable writers of the race, from now on the ability of the colored thespian is certain to be hittingly portrayed. Mr Jackson is now on a 2000 mile trip during which he is looking over the field in the eastern and mid wester states. DUCED BEFORE LEGISLATURE Negro Cifr, N. J. Feb. 3rd (Associated Negro Press)—Representative W. G. Alexander of East Orange, which has introduced a strong Civil Right bill before the legislature, is here the same bitterly opposed by the white hotel owners and managers of the state. The bill as presented prevents this criminality in hotels, restaurants and other public places in the state of New Jersey. It has the backing of all the colored people of the state, and a large number of broad minded white, and with the proper public sentiment, in a chance to be passed. It is somewhat similar to bills passed in New Yo. and Illinois, and to the one that weim before the Ohio legal-lature has term, and which will be re-introduced by Representative Henry Davis again. The hotel managers of Atlantic City, where thousands of the leading colored people of the nation go every year, amply able to enjoy the best accommodations, are most bitterly opposed to the passage.

LAURA FIELDS, Vice President Page Six A THOUGHT FOR ALL A young man once said to us that the lodge provided the greatest educational institution to me that I had ever been permitted to attend. It was there that I was taught to develop my memory; it was there I received my practical education; it was there I learned my practical education; it was there I learned to preside over the lodge or any other public gathering; it was there I learned the art of speaking before an audience. The lodge imposed certain duties on me that have been lasting benefit to me all through life and I appreciate it more than I can tell. My advice to every young man is to join a lodge and take an active part in it. You get a training there that is found nowhere else.—Maonic News. It is a noticeable fact that the largest percentage of suspensions for nonpayment of dues隶隶 in lodges has belonged to readers of Masonian literature. The rigilistic routine pells, and their infernal lags, and they naturally drop out of an organization that has ceased to furnish food for thought Texas Precison. A brother visiting our office this week said: "I have visited lodges in Kansas City and other cities every week for many years and I need to hear a good deal of questionable language and jokes in the rooms, and about the lodge room, but I have not heard in seven months a very marked change for the better." Said he: "I have not heard a word in an old building that bordered on profanity within the last three months." This is encouraging, for some good men, in association with others, fall into the habit of using language in a thoughtless manner, which they would not attempt to insist, but would contemn in the movies. It is a careless and thoughtless habit, which no one will condone, and every one would consider it a victory to break the habit. In this effort each one can all some one else and Massary is designed to help men to break off all objectionable habits. If requires a hero to conquer the habit of speech; or any bad habit for that matter.—Kansas City Freemason. The sooner we learn to regard a brother Freemason because he is a brother the sooner the world will learn the benefits and blessings of Freemasonry. Show your colors, brethren, by being brotherly to a brother.—Kansas City Freemason. THE FIRST STEP In Measure you must learn one triathlon at a time.

A child in the primary FIRE FROM DEFECTIVE FLUCE DESTROY ACADEMY Dermott, Ark. Feb 2nd, 2021 Negro Presid- Fire originating from a defective flame destroyed the main building of the Southeast Hospital Academy. The building housed the chapel, all the school rooms, and the office of the Industrial Chronicle. A Negro newspaper. The book exceeds $10,000 with $2,000 insurance. BODIES OF BABIES FOUND IN PLANO BOX Pittsburgh, Pa. Feb. 21st. Associated Negro Press. The bodies of seventeen babies, all 2 and under, were found in a piano bore near the stable of Daniel Winfield, a Negro, in the year of 101 Fortieth street. Winfield's arrest was ordered by Deputy Coroner Dempsey. The bodies, with several books and other clues found in the box, were taken to the morgue. NEGRO STRENGEST AIR Springfield, Mass., Feb. 21st (Associated Negro Press)—Newspapers of for the Negro one of his strongest aid in overcoming the obstacles which he has to confront, Rev. W. N. Derrybray pastor of St. John's Congregational church, told members of the Colored Republican Club at the meeting here Holds a ignorance as equal to sin and crime and said that its wake follows mi-ry and destruction, which is unnecessary in these days where such wells of information can be found in the newspapers and magazines. Dr. DeBerry said he believed in moral and social evolution and also that the world is getting better as it goes forward, and he believes also that the Negro will sooner or later get an equitable status of freedom and opportunity. He sees great progress made in the last 70 years and said that he gets inspiration by reviewing the past. He does not expect equality of races, saying that no races or individuals are equal and quoted the Bible as his school cannot be interested in biased mathematics because he doesn't know anything about the rules of higher mathematics. Here may be found the secret of apathy and want of interest in Masonic research; and the reason so many men make no advancement in the moral or intellectual realms of Freemasonry. They failed to advance in the first regular step of an Entered Apprentice. Do you know the meaning of that step?—Kansas City Freemason. MASONIC SLACKERS Is it harsh or severe to suggest the possibility of there being Masonic shakers? Is the suggestion wholly without foundation? If it is, then our lodges are all one hundred per cent, loyal, and active and working. Are they? The term slacker, has come into common use, and has a meaning of its own. The expression came into general use since the opening of the present war, and in a general way is referred to one who neglects to do some duty or assume some obligation that might reasonably be expected of him by the government, or has done something he should not have done—that was contrary to the generally accepted rules and regulations. Yes, there are Masonic slackers, as there are "weak sisters" in the church mugwumps in politics and parasites in society. If any of the latter forms of expression are more pleasing to the individual, he is at liberty, so far as we are concerned, to take his choice. The member who confesses—and sometimes boasting—that he hasn't been to lodge for year—what is he? Apply the term yourself. The member who turns a deaf ear to the call for help and relief of a brother or his family—classify him. The member who goes to lodge when ever there's a dinner served, and then usually ducks at the earliest possible moment—what kind of an animal he? The member who never has time to attend the funeral of a deceased brother—what of him? The number who never reads a Masonic book or magazine, and doesn't know anything of the order in which he belongs—displays rare intelligence doesn't he? The member who says, "I pay my dues, and that's all that can be expected of me!" The lessons of the degree did not sink in very deep, did they? What a pity that every member is not a Mason! What a pity that me apparently intelligent, will pass through the ceremonies, as sent to the obligations, and promise conformity to the regulations, then forget or utterly neglect every duty and responsibility that may or might be expected of them! Masonic shackers! Who will say we haven't them—and who will defend them?-Tyler-Keystone authority. Those capable of better things will earn them, he advised. The Negro may be deprived of development today but the time will come when he will have an equitable status of freedom and opportunity, he said, and he argued for Intellectual material, moral and spiritual efficiency as he says character will win out. Houston, Texas Feb. 12 (Associated Negro Press)-Colored citizens have failed in their attempt to participate in the city elections, popularly known as a "white man's primary." Judge Charles R. Ashe of the eleventh dilit court denied the petition of C. N. Love and five other Negroes to issue an injunction restraining the city democratic executive committee from enforcing its rule to permit only white democrats to vote in the coming primary. Judge Ashle's decision was made only on the points raised by the petitioners that the question art issue was a judicial and not a political one and that the word "demonstration" as used in the constitution, as to the qualifications of voters applied to all elections, general, special and primary, which points were specifically denied in the general demurrage of the defendants. It. D. Evans, attorney from Waco, who was counsel for Love and the other colored citizens gave notice of appeal to the court of civil appeals at Galveston but admitted that the appeal could not be made in time to stop the holding of the present primary. When the democrats learned that the non-coloured people actually were planning to become democrats in order to share jobs in the government of the city they sent the out a Macedonian cry for help and the it-leading legal talent of the section got uniered. IN NEGROES SOLVING PROBLEMS OF HOUSING SHORTAGE 'New Orleans, La., Feb. 23rd (Associated Negro Press)—Quite a number of Negroes in the Third District of the Seventh Wald, are solving the problem of high rentals and housing shortage by getting together and building their own homes and paying for them on rental terms monthly.

Continued from Page Two hour for meditation arrives. The week-end reflections of one, who holds, no commission, is clothed with no authority, has no offidf responsibility, a mere citizen, rear- ed, trained, living in the faith that the law is supreme and the only refuge of the right to live, must be somewhat as follows: "A red week. "Three murders in one day. "The life of an excellent woman destroyed by a fiend. "One suspected only, not shown in any legal way to be guilty, in all probability innocent, killed by ruffins and handlers in a manner that must promote the envy of the demons of hell. "The law murdered. "The murder of the law is a far graver offense than the murder of a human being. "Organized government has survived, and can again survive the murder of human beings. When the laws dies, government dies; all things desirable die; chaos reigns and anarchy is enthroned. "Choose you this day whom you will serve, the law or anarchy. Let your thoughts, your words, your deeds be such that the red week will return no more forever." bancellor David C. Barrow, in all dressing the student body of the Ulliversity of Georgia at chapel following the lynching said: "This is a country where we defend for safety on the law. The lawless act of certain citizens Wed night must make each one of us fear for the future of our country. "The crime was one that deserves death. The provocation was FIFTEEN VBG CMWF of an extreme nature. The evidence, in so far as it has come to me, indicates the guilt of the prisoner. Such crimes are driving white people from the country. All of this I think. "But this Negro was in the hands of the law, and it was the law that was wounded—the law which is our only hope in this country." "There was a way to punish this criminal under the law and it is the duty of all who wish well to the safety of our state to uphold the law. "We must not drift into murder. We must not let our fair land become a lawless waste." While the Negro politicians are creating strife among Republicans in the state to see which one of them can control the plecounter, the white men are having interviews with President Harling and laying plans to see that these same Negroes get nothing. So far as we are concerned, we are nothing for Gorce nor Karues. They are creatures of the state convention and as such, are entitled to function until a legal meeting of the state central committee is called by the regularly elected chairman and another elected in a legal way. Then the question resolves itself to this important point: How can Harry Pace a citizen and vote of New York function in any capacity in Georgia? What president can these disjurbers bring forth to show the legitimacy of the meeting held here Jan 21 in deposing an official. This false leadership in the party has almost reduced the party to serfdom—not a great many years with assistance the Negro in politics in this state will be forced to abolicate and its entire affairs turned to white men's control. Prof. S. F. Harris of Athens was in the city last Saturday on business, returning home the same afternoon.

He scored the white people for lack of interest in colored people, and told them "We don't need any school to teach our people how to work, that they had been working 302 years and wanted a straight high school. Dr. Hall is one of the few leaders of the race who is not afraid to speak out for the rights of the people who laid the foundation for the colossal wealth of the white men of this country, the race whose pay was the lashes received on their backs. Hrv. J. D. Williams and his members are preparing to begin the completion of their church, Anburn Ave. and Jackson street, the work to begin in early spring.

C., Feb. 23rd—Among the notable visitors to Washington within the past few weeks have been Mr. and Mr. A. D. Malone of St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Malone came to Washington primarily to attend a meeting of a special committee of the National Negro Business League. The next day they visited points of interest including the various public schools of the city, Dunbar High and Miner Normal schools among others; the National Capitol, where Mr. Malone interviewed the Republican Senatorial and Congressional representative of Missouri; and Howard University. Following morning devotions both Mr. and Mrs. Malone were presented to the student body at Howard by President Dixie. Their good works had preceded them. They were given a very warm and cordial welcome and operate with every urgency possible in providing audition educational opportunity for young colored men and women. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Malone's unaffected simplicity her appeal to the young men and women to root their lives in basic character and to center their thoughts upon: substantial methods of uplifting their rage father, than upon pleasure-seeking activities, evoked from the students a response warm-hearted, corollal and most emotional. Under the direction of Dr. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, they inspected the various administrative offices and made a tour of the University grounds in company with Editor Fred R. Moore of the New York Age, Mr. and Mrs. Malone received many social courtesies while in Washington. They were guests of honor at a dinner given at the Whitelaw Hotel by Dr. Scott.

C., Feb. 23rd—Tournées of the drama in Washington witnessed an unusual production last week when two plays were given at the Miner Normal school by the Howard Players, under the auspices of the Department of Dramatic Art of Howard University, the program including "The Tenths of the Apale" by Lord Dunsany, and "Simon, the Cyrenian," by Ridley Torrence. the egyptian maid of the desert, won an stinted applause, the latter shown, her-elf an emotional actress of splen- did ability. A specialty dance of meru was given by Misses Otte Graham, Sadie Spence and Elfitha Holmes. The play by Hidgley Torrence is the story of the man who helped the Lord bear the cross to Calvary when He fell beneath its weight. The title role was taken by Perry L. Chesson, who interpretation of the barbarian, touch and tamed by the sight of divine suffering, brought renunciation. TL I use the Princess of Egypt, who vainly sought to dissuade Simon from going to the aid of the Nazarene. The entire cast included twenty-three players, each of whom showed the results of careful application and training. The rich and beautiful stage setting and costumes, designed and made in the Howard Dramatic workshop by the students themselves, under the supervision of Cleon Throckmorton, of the Provinceson Players, New York City, and Mrs. Forrest, added much to the success of the program. DR. COWART'S DENTAL PARLOR The same players will give a presentation on March 11st and April 1st and end of August O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," now playing in New York with Charles Gilpin of the Broadway Company in the title role. Mr. Gilpin has promised to come to Washington and appear in the title role with the Howard Players. It will be an occasion of dramatic importance and will afford the only opportunity to see the play in Washington this season. Gold Crown and Bridge Work at reasonable Prices.

UNIT AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY ORGANIZES BAND Washington, D. C. (Feb. 20th—The Reserve Officers' Training Corps Unit at Howard University has rounded out and completed its organization as a Hallation of Infantry by the addition of a band of forty-eight pieces. Th. beginning of the Autumn Quarter of the school term saw the enrollment in the R. O. T. C.

ALLEN'S BEAUTY PARLOR Wage Earners Bank Building and by the following agents in Savannah The proposal of Major Milton T. Dean, Commandant of Cadets, and Warrant Officer Edward York, U. S. Army Acting Professor of Military Science and Tactics, that the Unit at Howard University which is the only colored Senior Unit of the R. O. T. C. in the country, have its own band, was met with enthusiastic approval by both President Durkee and the Battalion. Instrument were at once requisitioned and supplied, and by a fortunate coincidence Sergeant Dory Rhodes, U. S. Army, had been ordered to the University for service. Sergeant Rhodes was formerly Band Master of the 35th Field Artillery Band overseas, and has served many years in the regular arm as Band Sergeant of both the 5th and 10th cavalry bands. He is a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of New York City and a better equipped man to organize the new band can not be found. Every hour that does not intertwine with the duty for which he was ordered to Howard University is spent in whipping the band into shape, and under his supervision the R. O. T. O. band at Howard University bids fair to become a first class organization. There I know an enrollment of 30 R. O. T. O. members and a waiting list of as many more. Charleston, S.

Klin Hearis, colored prima donna, has just completed a very successful European tour and has returned to America to visit her family and recuperate before returning for her 1921 seascape on the continent. Without doubt, Mrs. Hearis has set a new high mark in art and music standards) not only for artists of her own race to attain, but also for an American women of artistic-beat who believe that European approval is necessary as a criterion of their success and ability. This is at least very true insofar as her recitation and career, filled as they were with triumph after triumph in the British Isles are concerned. By Royal command she appeared at Buckingham Palace on August 9. I ask to sing before their guests the Prince Victoria, Princes Albert, Henry au George, Queen-Mother Alexandra, Empress Marie of Russia, Princess Victoria and Prince Waldenar of Denmark. When King Alphonse of Spain and his Queen visited London first last year, she sang for them at a private recital at the residence of the Duke of York whose guests embraced only the highest ranking nobility of the continent.
