GA. STATE QUARTETTE
The "Prime Rally" Sunday did not pan so well, possibly on account of the money stringency only a few dollars being handed in, there are a good many foot still in the hands of the solicitors and we hope that each person holding a foot will report at Sunday's meeting, as the money is much needed. We think those who made report last Sunday for the effort. The parents of the children that hold those receptacles are asked to insist that they bring in their foot on Sunday.
Our Spring Bazaar begins on the 26th of April at the Masonic Temple, this is to be one of our best efforts. We ask mothers who desire to enter their babies in the baby show to register with the Secretary at once.
Do not forget the spring and summer feature of the Y. M. C. A. our popular week, and excursions to Beach Hammock every Friday. The program is a good one, which is as follows:

ARMY OF THE CROSS
APPEALS FOR COOPERATION
The tragic need among our people of the slums, and neglect places for social workers but casual observation will evince. What are Negroes themselves doing about it? All admit how over that something ought to be done. Our people are suffering now. Some are hungry, naked, jobsb and without shelter. Many of our men and women due to industrial depression have sold out.
Black men must help rescue these unfortunate.
The Army of the Cross aims to reach the man farthest down. That man the church does not reach or influence, the social outcast, the moral leper. It aims to chasten and restore our fallen womanhood, to save the black Magdalene.
The startling Macedonian cry is ringing in our ears loud, loud, insistent, and pathetic: "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
"Is it nothing to all you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me." This is the S. O. S. call plantive and heart reading of suffering and want among our people.

HOWARD AGAIN
DEFEATS LINCOLN, 21 to 18
Orange, N. J., April 6th—Before a crowd of nearly two thousand basketball enthusiasts from New York, Newark, Montclair, and Orange, gathered in the Orange, New Jersey, Armory, the Howard "Fire" again lauds it over the Lincoln University team by a score of 21 to 18. A marked feature of the game was the indomitable fight spirit on part of both teams. At the end of the first half the score was 10 to 7 in favor of the Howard team. The Lincoln team was determined to make a good showing, and near the end of the last half she succeeded in bringing the score to a t of 15. This was the status of the score when only three more minutes of play were left. The Howard team, cheered on by loyal Howard rooters, surged forward in those last three minutes and won the game by the score 21 to 18. The strong offensive and team work of Simms for Howard was a feature of the game, while Kean, Richardson and H. Johnson, forwards, made effective use of every opportunity to register. Clarkson and Davis warded off the attempts of Lincoln to reach Howard's basket. The strong offensive work and accurate shooting of fouls by Wheatland, forward for Lincoln, made him a star of the Lincoln team.

MICRO PREST
FIRST IN SERVICE
JOHN WILLIAMS OF JASPER
COUNTY
John Williams of Jasper has done more to bring disgrace and dishonor upon the State of Georgia, and indeed upon the entire South, than any man who ever lived. Indeed he can claim the distinction of having brought the shame to the state and South, and even of the entire nation, before the entire people of the world. For the people everywhere will read of the horrors of Jasper county, Georgia.
How has it been possible that under the very eyes of the greatest nation in all the world and in the very midst of a police power that extends to every nook and cranny of the land this awful crime has been committed? How is it possible that in the glaring light of present day civilization, and before the gaze of churches and schools, business and industry, and almost in the very presence of the law and the courts, a single man with his family mingling with the folk of the marketplace has been able to maintain a slavery of human beings, an institution based upon terror and intimidation and fear, to the extent that years have not seen it brought to light and destroyed it? What indifference, what apathy toward the fate of Negro peons from the neighboring farms with their hundreds of owners, tenants and workers?
How has all this, until now, escaped the law, the church and the law-abiding opinion of Jasper county? Why has Clyde Manning been enslaved to this system of terror and death for fourteen years?
It is just this sort of thing—this indifference, this disposition to let such things go so long as they do not affect us in particular, and so long as "it is just niggers, anyway" that callouses the people to indulge in oppression and peonage and lynching and burning. And the practice of indifference has so grown upon the people, especially where only Negroes are concerned, that nothing short of the wildest orgy of blood and death will cause the people to sit up and take notice. The failure to enforce the law, the failure to protect Negro offenders when they fall in the hands of the law, the failure to punish the mob when it tramples the law under foot, as it so often does in Georgia, the fact that inspite of the scores of lynchings and burnings of men after they have already been arrested and have become subjects of the law and entitled to its protection go unpunished—all this has bred such a strong defiance and contempt and disrespect for the law, that many men do not hesitate to take the law into their own hands and run riot
If John Williams of Jasper has not been excessive and extravagant in both his peonage persecutions and his murders; he like many others, would have been allowed to go unmolested, Federal courts would have been unable to convict because Negroes would not have dared to give testimony, and the neighborhood "passed it up" as none of its business. But Mr. "Johnny" if 'the charge be true, was passing, barbarous in his persecutions; he was deprared and unmoral in his desregard of human life; his greed for the gold that slavery would bring craze" him to the point of recklessness and abandon as regards Negroes; he must certainly have contiplated that the life of ignorant, black farm hands amounted to little in the administration of the people amongst whom he dwelt; and he doubtless recounted in his mind the scores of horrors and tragedies which have gone unpunished in this state, because it is impossible to identify and convict those who oppress and kill Negroes.
What is to be done about all this? Mary are wondering what is to be the outcome of the Williams trial, and what is to be his fate? To us it matters not so much what is to become of Williams as it matters what the state of Georgia and Federal authorities are going to do to break up slavery and peace and terror all over the state. It matters much whether this state will see to it that Negroes everywhere are freed, and allowed to work out their fate under the protection of just and the courageous protection of governmental authority. It makes a great difference whether Negroes shall be guaranteed their property rights, equal protection before the law, and the safety of life and limb in the rural stricts.
The State of Georgia is on trial in the Williams case; the law and the government are on trial before the nation and the world. The people of Georgia too are to be affected by the outcome; for in a measure the respect of our own citizens for the law is involved. Certainly the future fate of bigroes in the farming districts of Georgia depends on this to a large extent.
We believe the whole state should somehow determine upon a policy which would secure absolute respect
"And now that the courses of the sun are rounding out full fifty years of service spent by you in training the young of this community into useful citizenship, we of those who have loved you thro' all these years feel it a real pleasure to express our affection for you in this very meagre way. "Words never fully express such an affection as we feel. They are poor conveyors indeed at best, and yet if unsaid they leave our friends uncertain about us, if there are no deeds to take their place.
"We realize, as we must, that the shadows do not fall in the directions as they were wont to; the years grow shorter and the friends of youth grow fewer, but the conviction grows stronger, that many souls have turned their faces to the sun because of one's labor of love.
trouble we have, we do not take time to find facts, we form our conclusions and begin to criticize, and say what we should demand. I find experience, that is it far better not to demand but to study the best methods that will help us to deserve our rights and how to remove the cause of prejudice. We can't expect the other fellow to do right, if we are not right ourselves. "Let us come together, be broad and forget self and make every sacrifice for the good of fallen humanity. If we should have the public interested in us and our needs, we must become interesting, and we will become interesting just as soon as we begin to help ourselves to the utmost extent of our opportunities. The success of our race will be in proportion to the service that we render to the labor of love.
for the law, and equal justice to every citizen, whatever his race, whatever his financial-condition and whatever his political paranations) Justice and protection to every man is the way.
PRINCIPAL OF WEST BROAD
REMEMBERED BY GRADUATES
Surprised by Presenation of Beautiful Morris Chair
In appreciation of his rounding out fifty years of service in the public schools of Savannah, the graduates and undergraduates of the West Broad Street school presented on Tuesday morning a beautiful mahogany Morris chair to J. H. O. Butler who has been serving the greater part of this time as principal of this school. The presentation came as a complete surprise to Mr. Butler, who discovered the chair in his home at 515 West Henry street when he returned from school Tuesday afternoon. Tied to the chair with yellow ribbon, the colors of the West Broad, was the following letter:
"Dear Mr. Butler:—
"And now that the courses of the sun are rounding out full fifty years of service spent by you in training the young of this community into useful citizenship, we of those who have loved you thru' all these years feel it a real pleasure to express our affection for you in this very meagre way.
"Words never fully express such an affection as we feel. They are poor conveyors indeed at best, and yet if unsaid they leave our friends uncertain about us, if there are no deeds to take their place.
"We realize, as we must, that the shadows do not fall in the directions as they were wont to; the years grow shorter and the friends of youth grow fewer, but the conviction grows stronger, that many souls have turned their faces to the sun because of one's labor of love.
"As now falls the eventide in which you bask, may you look back down the vista of years thro which you labored, and see the faces of them who are jealously striving to show honor to you, and who are -wholeheartedly trying to show their appreciations and ungrudging affection.
"We are ever praying, that the days that are yet yours—and we hope they are many—may bring you increasing joy in the earnest of the affection, we whose names are here attached, thus feebly try to express.
"Please accept this token in the spirit in which it is given."
"Yours affectionately,
"Graduates of West Broad."
Mr. Butler, in the following letter, has sent his appreciation to his former students who remembered him with this beautiful gift:
"Graduates and Undergraduates of West Broad St. School.
"We dear Bors and Girls:
and never was I at a greater loss what to say as an expression of the gratitude I feel for this most useful and beautiful token of your love and esteem for me. You have shown your loyalty many times, and in many ways before, but never has it touched me so deeply as now when 'falls the eventide' of my life.
"As I recline in this comfortable chair, I shall think of you, every one of you, and a joice that it has been my pleasure and privilege to have entered into your life, and to have, in some measure, at least, encouraged you in the way of success." And so your words and deeds of abiding affection are a source of great solace to me in my declining years.
"Please accept my sincere and heart gratitude and appreciation.
EASTER AT THE INDUSTRIAL FARM
The juvenile boys at the Industrial Farm had a delightful time on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Rev Reed Dr. Harris and Rev. J. W. Warren were with us on Palm Sunday and gave excellent talks. At one of the Urban League meetings in 1915 Dr. Harris offered his auto and services to take a minister to the farm any Sunday that was convenient to him. Rev Reed accepted the offer and decided on the first Sunday in each month. They have been coming regularly and have only missed two Sundays during the six years. We appreciate their coming and feel very grateful to them for their sympathy and the good they have done.
Mr. and Mrs. Welcher thought of us Easter Sunday and brought as their guests Rev. and Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Robert McNichols. We enjoyed their talks, which were very instructive, and gave us inspiration to fight on until the victory is won. We trust Rev. Gregory can make it convenient to visit us often and be the true faithful and loyal friend that Rev. Cash was to us. We will never forget him. His
kindly disposition, and warm sympathy has made the boys feel that in him they had a true friend. He always gave fitting and appropriate remarks. Many were regrets expressed at his departure.
Through Mrs. Arm Ferst of Chicago and her cousin, the boys were made happy and enjoyed their Easter gifts. Mrs. Ferst always sends $5 Christmas in memory of her son. We did not receive it in time for Christmas, therefore it came in good for Easter.
The parole board will meet April 13th and will parole a number of boys, who have been with us a year or more and have made a fair record. It is a pleasure to parole them, but is deplorable to think they are going back to the same environments and conditions.
It is deplorable to think that out of all the churches and organizations we haven't any volunteer workers, such as "Big Brothers" and "Big Sisters" to be responsible for these boys that need their assistance to help them to over come the temptations which seem to be greatest from the age of 14 to 18. We have 32 boys enrolled up to date. The people of our race haven't any medium in which we can help these boys, preventative or reformative. We can make excuses to man but not to God. He has provided away for this race to own their own homes, churches.
club houses, etc, and if our hearts are strong for good works, ways and means will readily appear for our talents. We cannot do it individually but by the soul strengthening influences of organization. We spent too much time in giving attention to our grievances and neglect the many golden opportunities that are about us. For much of the needed charitable work among our unfortunates is left to the white race, because we have not time or interest outside of ourselves. If the white race, who are superior to us in all chances and advantages of life, find it necessary to their advancement, to be active and interested in so many ways, can we of greater needs and smaller resources and protection expect to advance less than they? Let us get together, and do as other women do. First inform ourselves us to what has been done, is being done, and what needs further be done to help ourselves. It should never be said of us that we know less about the status of our race than is known by women of another race. The greatest trouble we have we do not take time
The question is: are we going to give our service to raise the standard of the race or let them continue to go to degradation? Let us hope that we will answer the call as Moses did when he was called to lead the children of Israel; and God grant that our souls may be possessed by a consuming desire, by a restless anxiety, and a noble enthusiasm to see and discharge our responsibilities and duties to the cry of our unfortunate, and do all we can to win them for God's kingdom.
Who will volunteer to be the "Big Brother" and "Big Sister"? Let us come together and do one thing tangible for the uplift of humanity and not be so dependent.
The superintendent is always pleased to have the minister and visitors to visit us.

FARMERS UNION HOLD
SECOND QUARTERLY MEETING
The Pierce county Farmers' Union held their second quarterly meeting Saturday April 2nd at the colored school house in Blackbear, and the meeting was a 'very interesting one from start to finish.
Dr. Hinesman the country agent presided and was very much pleased at the reports from the different communities. Many of the farmers are growing watermelons and beans, and their crops are now looking good and if things continue to grow and prosper Mr. Hinesman feels that a large crop of each will be made this year. Dr. Hinesman is making a special drive to have farmers look after the repair and covering of their wells during the National Negro Health Week Campaign. He has been in conference with several of the white land owners who work large numbers of colored people and each agreed to help him to put his program over. He hopes to report some excellent accomplishments in the next week's issue of the Tribune.

PRISONERS PUBLICLY WHIPPED
Wilmington, Del., April 6th (Associated Negro Press)--Four men were publicly whipped at the Newcastle county workhouse last Saturday, in the presence of about 125 persons, for crimes committed in Delaware.
Warden M. S. Plummer Administered the punishment. He used the regulation whip, about three feet long. Three of the men flinched under the blows. The fourth man "rock his medicine" with a smile.
Unusual interest had been aroused in the lashing because of the discussion throughout the country of the whipping post as a crime deterrent.
Whippings took place in the jail yard, where stands a twelve inch post to which the prisoners, in a standing position, are attached with shackles. Lewis, Negro, was led to the post, stripped to the waist. Deputy Warden Leach read the court's sentence imposing a sentence of one year imprisonment and twenty lashes to, larceny. Lewis was shackled to the post. Warden Plummer applied the whip At the end of the twentieth blow. Lew is looked around and smiled and asked, "is that all?" He was unshucked, his coat put on and led back to his cell. Next Leonard Bennett was tied up. He was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment and forty lashes for highway robbery. Bennett flinched as the blows were laid on.

John Richardson followed. He stood the first eleven blows without exhibiting any apparent emotion, but at the twelfth he began to squirm. From then to the fortyth bash to arison twisted and stamped as the whip stunck.
Horace Arby, sentenced to forty lashies and twenty years' imprisonment for highway robbery, was shaking as he was led to the post. He trembled while Leach read the sentence. Arby filmed throughout the entire order. He was able to wall to his cell unnaided.
"This is the one disagreeable feature of my job," remarked Plummer, when the whippings were ended. "But I intend to do my duty and won't ask any of my deputies to do what I do not like."

Mrs. Lucy Frazier
Mrs. Lucy Frazier who departed this life March 31st at 6:15 n.m. was quite a shock to all of her friends as she was well on the road to recovery from an operation and her family and friends had bright hopes for her recovery.

E. church being associated with its many branches. She was loyal and true, always abounding in the work of the Lord. The funeral was held Monday April 4th and very largely attendered. She is survived by a hug band, Mr. Henry Frazier; one sister, Mrs. J. M. Fergrebor; one brother, Mr. U. I. Commerot; one brother, Mr Williams and several god children.

BARRIERS BREAKING
Modern progress is breaking down the barriers of nationalism, creeds, peculiar opinions, and self-developed and isolated ideas. The same progressive influence is also at work in the Craft in the United States, and to one who is familiar with the development and progress made during the past ten years the results are startling. Every where we find the Davide of the new regime opposing Golbaths of ultralonserratism; and just as David of old slew his heavily armored and weaponed enemy with a pebble, so are the champions, of the new fraternal spirit stepping forth with no armor other than a few fundamental facts, and slinging with these the benighted representatives of absolute pretensions, false premises, and pride of office—London Freemason.
VICTORIES OF FREEMASONRY
What are the true victories of Freemasonry? They are unlike the battles of the warrior or of the miser. The real tactics are laid down in that Great Light of Masonry, which is the chart of a true Mason's faith. When a Mason learns the real meaning of the symbolic code, and drinks in the spirit of the teachings of Freemasonry, he will find no objection to any demand. The severest critic can find no fault when he becomes acquainted with the objects and missions of the order. No religionist whose creed contains the collet, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," can find any fault with it. The battle to be fought and the victory to be gained in Freemasonry is on the priceless and triumphant battle ground of humanity.
One of the greatest Masonic compliments that can be paid a man is to have his wife, daughter, mother or sister mention with pride that he is a Mason—Brotherhood
MORE THAN RITUAL
Masonry that attempts to live with in the four walls of its Temple and finds its only expression in its ritual and symbols has missed the essence of its life. Masonry is the great institution for blessing and uplifting mankind. The gospel of democracy is taught more clearly in our beloved Order than in any other organization in the world. It is the gospel that places its value upon human life and says: "We are going to meet upon the level and give you a fair chance in life to work and become successful." And whenever we have been in touch with a human life, be it social, political or personal relation, let us leave it better than we found it. Our work in Masonry is to unit all conditions and闷气 into one great brotherhood. Missouri Freemason.
Brother. I am about to present you with the lamb-skin, which is an emblen of a Mason, more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle, and lies more honorable than the star and The Builder

We have another feature next week entitled "Nobody'sChildren." Do you know that we are making the opposition theatres anxious to show negro actors. They have refused to show these pictures until the Negro theatre started business and to get your patronage they are making desperate efforts to get the pictures but we have them bought.
