"God be With You Till We Meet Again" 5,000 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE MEETING WITH SUCCESS U. B. of A. drive of the Savannah district No. 1 is meeting with great success. On last Friday night 29th of last month a large new branch was added to the local district. The initiatory work was exemplified by the Supreme Grand Architect Hon. W. D. Kennedy, assisted by C. H. McIntosh, Supreme Grand Sergee and others. After the conclusion of the initiatory ceremonies refreshments were served and expressions were made by the newly made members in regards to the manner in which they were impressed by the Order's past success, as well as the possibility of its great future. The following permanent officers were selected and placed in charge: Bro. William M. Jones, W. A.; Sls. Mae, De Etta Greene, W. M.; Sls. Daley James, W. S.; Bro. Julian Smith, W. R. of F.; Bro. William Perry, W. O. W. and Bro. W. A. Russell, G. D. The Savannah Tribune PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN Lussellville, Ala., April 27th (Associated Negro Press)—Contrary to original plans, the body of Miss Martha Henderson, daughter of W. A. Henderson, a *traveling autogobile fire salesman* of Dallas, Texas will not leave Russellville until his father will start for Texas to bury his daughter beside her mother, who died three years ago. Miss Henderson was shot to death by Fred R. Hall, prominent Russellville business man. Twin sisters, 17 years of age, await the arrival of the body in Dallas, having requested their father to bring their sister's body home for burial in order that they might have an opportunity of placing flowers upon her grave, according to Mr. Henderson. After viewing the body of his daughter, Mr. Henderson broke down. According to the father, Miss Henderson has an aunt, Mrs. J. J. Briskell, living in Birmingham, at whose home the girl was a frequent visitor. Officers here state that their investigations have revealed the fact that the young woman left St. Louis three weeks ago. Two Negroes held in connection with the case were spirited away yesterday. The store of F. R. Hall and Company, of which the girl's slayer was president, has been closed since the incident. KNIGHTS OF COL- UMBUS SCOOL CLOSES 27TH Two Hundred Young Men Being Taught AMOUNT SPENT ON THE WORK DURING THE YEAR IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $8,000 Two hundred young men have made of the Knights of Columbus evening school a pronounced success. They did this by regular attendance and perfect co-operation in the work of the school. To most of us the fact that this evening school exists sati-fies our inquiring interest in the matter. We merely catalogue the fact in the category of usual evening or night schools and wish it well. To go further afield, the writer is led to believe that people today have ceased to notice certain indications of progress in the race, and take modern achievements for granted. The reader can readily recall positions in which his race was placed, that ten years ago were 9-day wonders, and which today are commonplace. So too, with the race's educational advantages—matters of course, you know. The writer wants to speak more at length about the K. C. evening school. Since Monday, December 6th, 1920, when their evening school began, the Knights of Columbus have easily spent Knights of Columbus have easily spent from $8000 to $10,000 in the writer's opinion, on the education of Negro young men. They have done this unselfishly—and their only value received for the amount spent, is credited to the account of their country. I, fitting, those men for fuller citizenship. The amount mentioned above is certainly not overstated, perhaps those in position to know would consider it amusingly understated; but they issue no statement of the money cost—they merely wanted to render the full measure of service to loyal, brave and cheerful comrades. The school continues during this month, and will come to a close May 27th with appropriate exercises in St.Benedict's school auditorium. The students are all hard at word to make this event a very interesting and enjoyable one. Rev. Father Ambrose, O. S. B., rector of the Benedictine College, will be the principal speaker for the occasion. No doubt his patriotic address to the ex-soldiers, will be a real treat to all. A cordial invitation is extended in advance to all ex-service men in particular, and to the public in general.

C., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—Notwithstanding the fact that four hundred thousand and colored American soldiers vitally helped to win a glorious victory for the "Stars and Stripes" during the great World War, and the moral support and voting strength of our entire racial group contributed greatly to the winning of an overwhelming victory for the Republican Party Inst November, there seems to be a pronounced tendency in certain quarters not only to eliminate the Negro as an important factor in American politics but to rob him of his rightful participation in the distribution of federal patronage. In striking contrast to the anti-American and un-Republican doctrine now being advocated by some who profess allegiance to the G. O. P.—It is refreshing to read the following splendid statement from the pen of General Isaac R Sherwood, a Democrat who for sixteen years represented the Toledo, Ohio congressional district in the U. S. House of Representative, who served as a Brigadier-General in the Union Army, now Honorary President of the National Memorial Association, and whose friendly and sympathetic attitude toward our racial group challenges the admiration of every American who is in favor of justice and fair play. In an article which appeared in the Toledo News-Bee, of April 7, 1921, referring to the protest that is being made against the appointment of a Negro Register of the United States Treasury, General Sherwood writes: "And now 508 so-called "pink and white women" in the Treasury Bureau have signed a protest against the appointment of Charles A Cottrell of Toledo, as Register of the Treasury, and Mrs. Virginia White Speed, chairman of the Woman's Republican Committee of Washington, has presented the petition to the Secretary of the Treasury. "We have been definitely informed that the appointment of a colored man as Register of the Treasury is being considered," the petition declares. The Register's office is now very large and is doing responsible work. Its personnel consists of more than 500 clerks, mostly white women and ex-service men representing 35 states." "They state that the protest is voluntary and not inspired by southern prejudice.' "When Mr. Cottrill was collector of customs at Hawaii, being appointed by President Taft, he was treated with universal respect and kindly courtesy. He dined with diplomats, senators, representatives, army and navy officers and celebrities in general, both native and foreign. There is no race prejudice in our island possessions. "But here in Washington, the seat of our Republican government, which stands for equal rights for all and special privileges for none, he must needs be humiliated and petitioned against because of the color of his skin. And we have that national law, the civil rights act, 47 years old. I voted for it in the forty-third Congress." COLORED NATL. GUARD CAUSING PERPLEXITIES FORCES ARE PLANNING TO PUT NEGRO BACK AS AN EFFICIENT FIGHTING FACTOR New York, N. Y., May 1th (Associated Negro Press)—New York, Massachusetts and Illinois are just now the storm centers of the "Negro Muddle" of the National guard perplexities of the national government. The Wilson administration planned a squeeze play which put the Negro contingents out of the military running. Now there are forces that are planning equally as hard to squeeze the colored man and brother back into his former high estate as an efficient element and potential fighting factor in the honorable ranks of the country's army. The Federalized Millith controlled by the War Department has succeeded the old National Guard of purely state control. A definite number of units are allotted to each state. Colored men are of course not enrolled in white organizations and the mandate of the Wilson administration's War Department was inexorable. It decreed, "It is the policy of the War Department to organize a very limited number of colored troops which would be used only as ploners or labor battalions." Massachusetts offered the government the service of the Ninth Separate Battalion. Each of these bodies saw active service in France and each covered itself with glory fighting in the first trenches on many of the now historic battle fields of the great conflict. The Eighth has been definitely made a part of the Illinois military quota and murdered into service under the federalized plan. The New York situation is clouded with doubt, a number of colored officers having resigned recently. Public opinion has been an important factor in determining the status of these two celebrated fighting units in these states where the regiments have been permitted to retain their identity and are tacitly recognized as a part of the military organization in their respective localities. But WITH LOVE TO MOTHER WITH LOVE TO MOTHER God knew the sort of tenderness Our wayward souls required; God knew the sort of kindly love Our lonely souls desired; God knew the needs of friendships strong, The need above all others: God knew our need of "tuckings in"— That's why He made our MOTHERS. Mrs. Marion K. Wilkerson, vice president at large of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, addressed the Savannah Federation in its quarterly meeting. Friday night, April 20th at Asbury M. I. church. Her address was a rare treat, for the logic and sound advice given by the speaker was only equalled by the display of her refined and cultured manner. Along with the many distinguished speakers, entertained by Savannah this winter we are glad to list this ardent love-loving woman. She is the wife of Dr. Robert Shaw Wilkerson, president of the State College at Orangeburg, S. C. Mrs. Geo. S. Williams rendered her report to the Federation, of the work done by Negro women in the last presidential election. The report was very interesting for Georgia women played an important part. The executive secretary of the Social Service Federation in the person of Mr. Edison Modman explained the work of the public charities while Miss Ella O'Mara explained the case work. Miss Mae Stewart, delighted her hearers with a solo, which ended the meeting. The next quarterly meeting will be held in June, just before the state meeting in Augusta and the Southeastern meeting in Atlanta. under the past policy of the War Department further opportunity for colored men in other states to join fighting units is restricted. It happens that New York and Illinois were the only States that supported full fledged Negro military organizations prior to the great war. They were the famed 15th New York and the equally famous Eighth Regiment of Illinois, which was the only regiment in the country officered by colored men from Col. Otis B. Duncan and Lieut. Col. Patton. Massachusetts has been fighting and over the situation. A heated correspondence was maintained between the War Department of the Wilson administration. Less heat but no less fervor characterizes the correspondence which is now being carried on by the national and State authorities. It is thought, however, that the present War Department will feel favorable to a rescinding of the original order in this respect and that Negroes will be made acceptable to all branches of the Nation's military service. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION'S PEON- AGE CHARGE SUBSTANTIATED BY GOV. DORSEY OF GEORGIA WIFE OF CONGRESSMAN WILL PRESENT PROTEST Washington, D. G., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—Mrs. Fret A. Britten, wife of the Chicago congressman, has departed for France to present to Marshall Fewh a protest against the retection of African troops in Germany of African troops in Germany. Congressman Britten said that as a result of his interview with former Premier Viviani and M. Knecht, he would withhold, pending his wife's appeal to Marshal Foch, his resolution calling on President Harding to use his good offices with the President of France for the removal of these troops. "I presented to the distinguished French visitors a series of evidence that American Christianity was in no small measure disturbed over the colorgel semi-civilized troops in control of white Christian people," Britten said. "Mrs. Britten will present to the marshal the data which I laid before M. Viviani." MAN KILLED BY SISTER-IN-LAW TUESDAY Trying To Get In House Through Window MISTAKING HIM FOR A BUR- GLAR, WOMAN FIRES FATAL SHOT Walter McElroy, age 30, who, with his wife, Mrs. Leola McElroy and three children lived at 562 Maple street, was instantly killed Tuesday shortly before midnight by his sister-in-law, Miss Josephine Lewis. The shooting occured at the residence of his wife's mother, Mrs. Arriclear Lewis, 556 Charles street. Upon investigation by a reporter of The Tribune, it was learned that McElroy and his wife had frequent quarrels and the result of one of these was the leaving of the young woman, who with her children went to the home of her mother in an attempt to avoid any further trouble with her husband. On Tuesday night McElroy went to the home of his mother-In-law and attempted to gain entrance to the house through a front window. On account of previous efforts of some one to enter the house, presumably for the purpose of burglarizing it, the women of the house were left a pistol for the protection of themselves by the husband of Mrs. Lewis, who is now working in Alabama. When the noise at the window was heard on Tuesday night by Miss Lewis who with two of her sister's children was occupying - the front bed room, she thought that another attempt was being made to burglarize the house. Hearing the breaking of the window blind, she called out to know who was there but got no reply, a few seconds later the window pane, it is said, was smashed and upon a second call by the woman, who again got no answer, she secured the pistol from the dresser drawer and fired through the window, killing the man instantly. The shot from the pistol aroused the other two women of the house who were sleeping in the back room. After an elapse of a few minutes, the women finally decided to look out the door to see if the supposed burglar had left the house, not thinking that the person had been shot. The door was slightly opened by the wife of the dead man, and peeping outside discovered the body of her husband lying on the step where he fell after having been shot. The police were notified of the killing by McElroy's wife and Miss Lewis who did the shooting was taken into custody and held at the barracks until Wednesday when she was freed by a coroner's jury at the inquest held at Monroe's undertaking establishment. 135 Cases of Negroes ynched Cited IN SOME COUNTIES NEGROES BEING DRIVEN OUT AS THOUGH THEY WERE WILD BEASTS. New York April 20—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today issued a statement announcing that its charges of peonage and of brutal mistreatment of Negroes by white men in the South had received entire confirmation from Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, Governor Dorsey on April 20, published a pamphlet entitled "The Negro in Georgia" in which he gives evidence of 135 instances of "Negroes lynched, Negroes held in peonage, Negroes driven out by organized lawlessness and Negroes subjected to individual acts of cruelty," in the state of Georgia in the past two years. "In some counties," Georgia's governor said, "the Negro is being driven out as though he were a wild beast; in others he is being held a slave; in others no Negroes remain. No effort has been made to collect the cases cited. If such an effort were made I believe the number could be multiplied. In only two of the 135 cases cited is the 'usual crime' against white women involved." The N. A. A. C. P. Charges On March 29, 1921, the N. A. A. C. P. issued a statement signed by its assistant secretary, Walter F. White, charging that the horrible conditions on the Williams "murder farm" in Jasper county, Georgia, where eleven or more Negro peons were murdered, could be duplicated in every southern state. Peonage was rampant, said the statement, and: "The Mississippi delta region embracing the States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, western Tennessee and eastern Texas, is built on this system of debt slavery." Gov. Dorsey's Substantiation Governor Dorsey tells of a case in which a Georgia sheriff sent to protect Negroes from a mobism of the Ku Klux Klan exonerated the Klan, and the stationary on which the sheriff wrote showed he was himself a member of this infamous body. He then tells the following atrocious stories: "County No. 21—Near a small town in this country a Negro was born fifty, eight years ago. By work he accumulated a little money with which, ten years later, he bought a farm of 140 acres, where he lived with his wife and twelve children. Three of his daughters were educated. They were school teachers. A three-room house was on the farm. The farm was well stocked, the Negro owning in 1019 outright five mules, and having made payments on the purchase of a horse, a cow and thirty-five hogs. "During the war with Germany this Negro family bought approximately $1,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps. The Negro headed an organization of Negroes who raised between $10,000 and $11,000 for Liberty bonds. His work was highly praised by newspapers at the time. "A white man who can neither read nor write, owns a farm adjoining the farm of the Negro. When the article praising the man for his war work appeared, the white man remarked: _____ is getting too damned prosperous and biggity for a bigger. "Trouble began. The white man had his land processed. The Negro had no representative present. The processioners ran the man's line 25 feet over the Negro's line across a terrace which had been there since the Negro was a child working for the family from whom he bought the land. The deal given to him covered the land to this terrace. The white man crossed the terrace, drove stakes along the new line and warned the Negro not to cross the line. The Negro disregarded the warning and continued to plough to the terrace, as he had been doing since bodhood. Sheriff "Would Rather Kill" "Blacks and whites from the country crowded in the town Saturday afternoons. One Saturday, the fall of 1019 the Negro with his three daughters and son came to town. The town marshal approached the Negro in the street and said: 'I have a warrant for you.' The Negro answered 'Mr._____' what (Continued on page 4) OUT OF TOWN NEWS Atlanta, Ga., News Dr. and Mrs. Richard Carey and son of Macon spent several days in the city last week, motoring up through the country.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED INDUSTRY FIRST IN SERVICE HOSPITAL BOND ELECTION The hospital bond election takes place next Tuesday. It will decide the issuance of $500,000 worth of bonds to establish a hospital for the white patients. If it passes, the colored citizens will be taxed for its erection and maintenance. Let the colored voters go to the polls and vote their convictions. MOTHER'S DAY Tomorrow will be generally celebrated throughout the nation as Mother's Day, and the gentle sentiment and tender reflections associated with the thought of "Mother" will spring full and strong in the breast of millions of Americans who will delight to honor and revere, and wear a flower or utter a celylog for "Mother". Mother is the greatest institution of civilization, the keynote of the household and fireside, the foundation-stone of our social and spiritual fabric. It is because of "Mother" that there is so great a structure in the entity of what is generally called Americanism. It is the source of the refinement in character and conduct; it is the inspiration of piety and culture and pa triotism; it is the safeguard of our institutions, the hope and guaranty of the future. Every boy, every girl and every man and every woman has a mother, or has had one; and the warm impulses of honor and reverence, of gratitude and love, which move us all to pay the highest tribute of reverence and respect to motherhood and mother, are worthy of the noblest of all, the humblest of us. None can justly fall to turn aside to pay homage to mother, and to her magnificent contribution to civilization. "The band that rocks the cradle, rules the world," customizes the beautiful estimate of the power of soul and spirit and mind which mother exerts in the affairs of earth. Mother is the most influential single force and influence in the home, in the church, in the school; she is none the less the same powerful influence though silent, in the market-place and in the great arena of world affairs. The background of many of the world's most powerful force is the contemplation of the gentle influences at home, the wife, the mother of one's children. How she may view his acts, what their influence upon her, and what the result upon her future may be, determine the course of many good men. She is most always right; she never falls as a mother, either in the unlimited extent of her charity and love or in the undiscovered and unmeasured faith in her own children, "flesh of her flesh." There is no limit of her daring in their behalf or her forgiveness of their sins. She is just "Mother," that's all. Let us all honor her especially tomorrow; but always honor her. JAGRANCY AND UNEMPLOYMENT Sometime ago, The Tribune discussed the matter of unemployment in its relation to crime, and we drew several conclusions with reference thereto, the principal being that crime increases or decreases according as unemployment (enforced) increases or decreases. Now there is a well-defined difference between vagrancy and unemployment. Vagrancy is voluntary idleness; unemployment is unavoidable. And one must know the intimate inside of an individual's career and condition to tell whether his idleness is due to his own fault. We often wonder how much wrong may be committed in the courts which so often met such summary punishment upon "vagrants". We wonder whether most "vagrants", are not more slurred against than shunned", in regard to responsibility for their delinquency. To be without work when one is needy and willing to work is a pititable plight; yet many men and women are of that into today. It has been recently estimated by the government that three million are out of employment in the country; and that these are people who would work if they could find it to do. Abnormal financial, industrial and commercial conditions (and all of these are related by cause and effect) victimize the masses of the people in any national group. The masses are controlled by the few, those who direct the affairs of the marts and industries. Greatest care must be exercised to prevent mlsjudgment of those who do not work in these times; and those who suffer poverty; and those who are unable to meet their obligations. We must be very judicious in fixing blame. This is no excuse for delinquency. It is a plea for justice. Mr. Freeman Bell who has been chairman of the Board of Directors of the Laborers Investment Corporation has tendered his resignation as a member of the board. He still retains interest in the corporation. GOV. DORSEY AND PEONAGE The pamphlet recently issued by the Governor of this state, which made a widespread study and survey of the problems of peonage and mob violence in Georgia, furnishes some little idea of the terror and barbarism of the rural districts of Georgia, and of the South in general. According to the Governor's Booklet in the 135 typical cases cited "the unmentionable crime", as it was long called in the South, has not been charged against these Negro Activists; and in fact, no lawlessness at all is charged against them according to the Governor's conclusions, and most of the oppression and slaughter of Negroes is caused by their industry and thrift, as evidenced by the fact that most of the vietnamese have been the landowning, frugal Negroes. Other facts brought out in the Governor's information show, that in many instances the sheriff or other officers charged with enforcing the law openly connive and whence at mob violence or participate in it. In several counties the entire Negro populations had left after being warned that they would be killed if they did not leave. They left home and possessions, at great loss, in such precipitate flight. Another case is significant and illustrative, viz: A white neighbor had his farm so surveyed that the line between his and his Negro neighbor's farms went far into the Negro's farm. The metes and bounds of the Negro's farm had not been disputed for several generations; the Negro had worked there as a slave. He objected, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. After having been abused and beaten along, with members of his family, he landed in jail. The committee which waited on the judge of the circuit was told that he would send the Negro to jail when he should be tried. Since 1855, in the State of Georgia alone, more than 418 persons have been lynched or burned, including many women and children. The Ku Klux Klan, the night riders and White Caps, are running amuck in many parts of the state. Their practice is to threaten Negroes by leaving, terrorizing Negroes by riding into their yards, breaking in their doors and beating them, burning their schools and churches, and disturbing their worship and other meetings. lynching and mob violence, and to deal with delinquent officers. The John Williams-Clyde Manning episode in Jasper counties have uncovered the real Georgia to Georgians, as well as to other people. (Continued from page 1) have I done? Head your warrant! 'The marshal replied with an oath that he would rather kill the Negro than read the warrant. Here the evidence varies. The Negro had a stick in his hand. Some say that the marshal, who is large and powerful, grabbed the stick and struck the Negro in the face with a pistol, knocking him down. Others state that the Negro, raising his stick backed away, when the marshal rushed in and struck him to the ground with his pistol. Several other white men rushed upon him and began to choke and beat him. Two of his daughters started to him. A man kicked one girl in the stomach. The other reached her father and began to wipe the blood from his face. The three were quickly overpowered. The third daughter and son were caught. All were locked in jail. The girl who was kicked was ill at the time. The blow made her, deathly dek. She lay in jail moaning and nugging that some thing be done for her and her father, who was bleeding badly from his wounds. The sheriff locked them in and left them without medical attention and ignorant of the charge against them. "Next morning the Negro learned that his neighbor had sworn out a warrant against him for trespass. The sheriff refused to tell him what the charge was against his son and daughters. The Negro employed a lawyer. Then he found that he and his daughters were charged with resisting an officer in the discharge of his duty. His son with carrying a pistol. Only one witness claimed to have seen the pistol. This was a white neighbor, who said that he had seen the son put the pistol in the buggy, while the crowd was on his father. The buggy was searched. The pistol was not found. "Talk of lynching the Negro and his family, caused their removal to another county. A committee of citizens waited upon the judge of the circuit, who informed them. It is charged, that he would put the Negro in the chain gang when the case should come up for trial. "The man, his daughters and son were tried in the superior court. The father was sentenced to serve twelve months in the chain gang and pay a fine of $250. The girls were fined $50 each. The son was fined $100. The Negro paid the fined of his children. "The man's smaller children and his wife were in his home while he was in call. A mob led by the town marshal went to the house, kicked the door and demanded admittance, then shot up he house and went away. This was right. "Next morning the woman and her children fled from her home, never to return. "A friend want by night and removed the live stock belonging to the family and sold it for them at a great sacrifice. Their crop was a total loss. They will be lynched it is said. If any of them ever return to their home. "Reputable merchants and bankers in this county unite in giving the Negro and his family a good character. The son has been offered a loan of $450 by a leading farmer to pay a note, the holder of which threatened cut during these troubles. A leading merchant gave the father a line of credit running from $500 to 1,500 a year. One of the best citizens of the county signed his bond. "The education of his children and the success of his thrift seem to be the sole offense of the Negro. "Case No. 131, a Negro complained in a pounce case. At the trial in Atlanta he appeared as a witness. Fearing to return to the county he went elsewhere to live. The son of his former employer discovered where he was living, obtained a warrant for his arrest, and brought back. He disappeared. A boy fishing found a skull in the stream. Search was made, a body was unearthed. In a pocket was found a card identifying the corpse as that of the missing Negro. "Case No. 135 (County No. 26)—The sheriff of this county, with two other men, were in an automobile on the road to the county site. They were drinking. The sheriff asked a Negro in the road to get him a drink of water. The Negro answered that he was not of his own home, but that he supposed there would be no objections to getting him a drink of water. "The sheriff left the car and struck the Negro twice with a pistol. The man brought the water. The sheriff made him get in the car, carried him 300 yards and made him leave the car where he beat him over the head with a pistol and stick. The bleeding Negro was forced into the car again and made to lie down. He was carried ten miles, the Sheriff-kicking him in the body and head. One eye was vir- The sheriff stopped to cut another stick when one of his companions advised the Negro to run if he wished to live. This he did, hiding in the woods until later a passerby carried him into town. The sheriff was indicted for assault with intent to murder. He was acquitted. The Negro beaten has the reputation of being a peaceable, lawabiding, hard working man.

The purpose of these projects is to maintain the reputation established last year for first class produce and at the same time build up a larger business and more wide-pread trade for this section as a producing center for vegetables. During the past week a full load of bushel hampers, containing four thousand standard covers were bought. More than four hundred dollars was saved the farmers in purchasing these crates co-operatively and much credit is due supervising TWELVE VBG CME WI agent E.A. Williams for valuable assistance given in carrying out the project. The farmers are awakening to the practical value of co-operation in purchasing seeds, fertilizer and other supplies as well as the join sales of produce which insures to them uniformly better prices.

Let us hope that the work started will continue to grow until every farmer throughout the state of Georgia realizes the importance and benefits there are found in the rural districts. Our program of work gotten out at the beginning of the year is constantly kept in mind. The agent dosent hesitate in urging the club members to do their best on the farm, in the homes and everywhere.

After much questioning by the police Blins told the police that a man had been killed, but no connected story of the killing could be gotten from Blins. "Photographers Attention!

Things looked very doubtful for the home team, for six innings the Jesup boys had pitched up 8 runs against 2; but in the lucky seventh the home team got busy and they pitched up 5 runs. This made the home boys take courage so the game went up 11 to 10 in favor of the home boys. BASKET BALL AT WAYCROSS The final basket ball meet which was held at the Central City Park on last Friday night, April 20, was intersey ```markdown ``` Interesting. All the teams of the city were represented except Hazzard Hall team. The game between Reedsville and North Side resulted in a 28 to 0 victory for Reedsville. Everything being equal added greatly to the interest of the exejement. Miss Tiny Jackson, the captain and star of the Reedsvill team, scored most of the 28 points. Miss Julia Everett scored the rest. As usual, Miss Fannie Toomer played extremely well as side center. Miss Maud Alberta guarded so closely that it was impossible for her opponent to make a point.

Having defeated Hazzard Hill and Northside teams, the Reedsvill team stands in a class by itself. Atlanta University Defeats Howard East Friday night/in the Ware Memorial Chapel. Atlanta University repeated its victory of last year by defeating Howard University in debate. The subject was: Resolved, That the United States should abandon the Monroe Doctrine. Atlanta had the affirmative. Because these is such strong prejudice in favor of the negative not many expected Atlanta to win; but Atlanta had made such thorou preparation and that there was general agreement by the audience that the judges had made a correct decision. Atlanta was represented by Marlon S. Page of Albany, and James J. McLendon of Detroit; Howard was represented by Oswald Agusius Combs, Jr. and William F. Nelson. Washington, D. C.—The Howard University track team composed of H. K. Perry, Robert Craft, R. E. Contee, and Leo. G.

Carnegie School of Technology, Hobart College and Tufts College. Each of the first three runners for Howard maintained their relative positions. Leo G. Robinson, the last runner for Howard, started out in fifth place with Rensselaer Polytechnic leading and Carnegie School of Technology Holtart College, and Tufts College following respectively. Robinson maintained fifth place until the third turn of the track when, he began to sprint and gradually eased up until he had caught the leading man for Rensselaer at 50 yards from the finish, whom he had at the finish by a full two yards in the brilliant run which he made in about 50 seconds flat. A banner was awarded to the University and gold watches and medals to each of the runners. Of the various teams for the District of Columbia, Including Georgetown University, Gullaudet, George Washington University, and a number of the High Schools entered in the Penn Relay Races, Howard University was the only entrant to win. FOOTBALL CHARMS PRESENTED AS EMBLEM OF HONOR Washington, D. C., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—Members of the Howard University 1920 Varsity football team were awarded gold football charms recently as an emblem of honor for their splendid services in this athletic activity. Thirty nine of Coach Morrison's stalwarts are the happy recipients of this gold football charm which bears the letter II in blue enamel together with the initials of the player and the name of the position on the team. The giving of the charms this year is a departure from the old custom of giving the players sweaters. The players are elated over the change since the charms are of a more permanent nature. MOB VIOLENCE ATTEMPTED IN COURTROOM Frederick, Md., April 27th Associated Negro Press)—An attempt at mob violence was made upon Charles Henry Dorsey, Baltimore, the Negro alleged to have made a criminal attack on a girl, at Catonsville, sixteen years old, a few days ago when Chief Judge Hammond Urner announced the opinion of the court freezing the colored man. It was Dorsey's second trial, the first at Towson, Md., resulting in his conviction and sentence to death. A new trial was granted by the court, the conviction having been by a jury, on the grounds of considerable doubt as to a positive identification of the man. The case was moved to this county for retrial. When the decision was made, M. S. Tweedal, brother of the girl, leaped from his chair beside his sister, and dashed for Dorsey. Before the officers could head him off, Tweedal had struck the man, causing the blood to flow from his cheek. Mrs. R. W. Rogers, Richmond, Va., sister of the complaint, joined in the attack, throwing a water glass at Dorsey, who had rushed to the judge's platform for protection. The glass missed Dorsey and struck Court Clerk Eli G. Haugh. The courtroom spectators became an excited mob, but they were quieted when Judge Urner walked to the front All burial problems are met here.

In the meantime Dorsey was whisked from the courthouse and rushed in an automobile, to the country fall. When it became noised around that the Negro had left the courtroom the crowd followed, some giving chase in automobiles. At the jail the pursuit was abandoned. All during the following evening crowds of men gathered on street-corners, discussing the possibility of the prisoners' presence in Frederick county. Dorsey left the city shortly after the trial and was said to have headed for Washington or Virginia. The alleged victim took no part in the demonstration. As Judge Erner announced the verdict of "not guilty" she suddenly arrose and in a hysterical manner cried: "He's guilty! I know he's guilty!" She collapsed weeping. The next instant her brother had leaped at the man. There was no display of guns. The officers used none in quieting the courtroom. P.

Stevens Introduces Resolution BROUGHT ABOUT BY EFFORTS OF THE NATIONAL ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION New York April 29—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today announced the receipt of a resolution passed by the Ohio legislature and of a resolution introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature both urging a thorough federal investigation of peonage throughout the South. The Ohio resolution was introduced by Senator Day at the instance of Harry F. Davis, chairman of the legal committee, Cleveland Branch N. A. A. C. P. The Pennsylvania resolution was introduced by Representative Andrew F. Sfevens. When the peonage condition in Jasper county Georgia, was brought to light, the National Association wrote to thirteen colored members in seven state legislatures asking them to have resolutions introduced urging a thoro federal investigation throughout the South. Following is the resolution introduced as a result of the N. A. A. C. P. letters and passed by the Ohio legislature: Whereas. The entire country has been astonished by the revelation of peonage conditions in the South; and Whereas, Such conditions exist in violation of the thirteenth amendment of the federal constitution and the laws enacted by Congress pursuant thereto, and the federal government has unbounded authority to take any action it deems advisable with or without the co-operation of any state; therefore; he it Resolved by the general assembly of the State of Ohio, that the president of the United States is hereby memorialized and requested to instruct the attorney general to conduct an investigation of peonage conditions in the South in violation of the federal constitution and laws, assert the state authorities in prosecution when necessary all violators of such laws to justice and stamp out all vestiges of the un-American condition of peonage. Be it further. Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States and to each senator and representative from Ohio. BRAZIL IS LAND OF NEGRO'S LARGEST OPPORTUNITY Films of This Wonderful Country to be Shown Here Bio Janiero, Brazil, May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—"Brazil is the Negro's land of largest opportunity," is the way in which the late and lamented ex-President Theodore Roosevelt put the question of the black man's future on the Western Hemisphere. This was the conclusion reached by the great American statesman at the conclusion of his remarkable trip of exploration into the Matto Grosso district and other sections of the Republic. The remembrance of this tense summary of one of the vexing social questions of modern times has prompted the government to expend more than $10,000 in the production of motion picture films which present a vivid and interesting illustration of the resources and natural wealth of the State of Matto Grosso in particular. This section has been selected because it more nearly compares with the conditions of climate and soil with which the Negro in the United States is familiar. It may be interesting to know that a goodly number of the men who have been large figures in the history of the country have had Negro blood coursing through their veins and have hailed from the Matto Grosso country. A survey of the names and history of these men requires a special mention which the space at hand prohibits at this time. It can be taken up later. The films, however, will be sent to the United States and exhibited in the near future. The government is also gratified that already a large number of Negroes in the United States have become very interested in Brazilian matters. BODIES OF VICTIMS OF MOONSHINE FOUND Chicago Ill., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—Wunfried R. Bodman, a special agent for the Columbian National Life Insurance Company, and an unidentified colored girl about 20 years old were found dead yesterday in Bodman's home at 5441 Warwick avenue. The police say they were the victims either of moonshining whiskey, or pto- maine polsoning. Bodman was 45 years old, a bachelor, and the owner of his home. SURVEY SHOWS INTERESTING DEDUCTION IN UNEMPLOYED Washington, D. C, May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—While 10.33 per cent. of unskilled Negro labor in the country joined the army of unemployed during the last three months of industrial depression, only 2.63 per cent. of the skilled labor was thus affected. This is a most interesting deduction from an emergency survey of selected industries made by the Department of Labor. The Calumet district, of which Chicago is the center, leads in the number of colored unemployed, with an approximate 15,000. In Michigan the unemployment of colored is given as having been decreased by 2,530. In the Pittsburgh district estimates indicate that the average unemployed colored labor is 4,500. On March 31, 1921, in that dl-strict, there were 2,000 of these workers, "absolutely unemployed." CHARTER RECEIVED FOR DOUGLASS NATIONAL BANK Chicago, Ill., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—The Douglass National Bank, Thirty-second and State streets, the first national banking institution controlled by Negro citizens, has received its charter.

R. Ross' garden recently, have filed suit in the Hinds county chancery court demanding that Mrs. Ross return the gold. LILY WHITE REPUBLICANS * GIVEN SEVERE SHOCK Memphis, Tenn., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—There has been a real sensation here in local politics. The "Lily White" Republicans have been given the shock of their lives. By some "hook or crook," in the absence of Postmaster General Will Hays from his office in Washington, First Assistant Postmaster General Work took upon himself the authority of naming the temporary postmaster of Memphis. The "Lily White" postmaster was on his way from Washington feeling happy, when a telegram from Washington preceded him, telling the present postmaster the appointment had been held up. Wires and long distance telephones followed. Whereas, in the infinite and unquestioned wisdom of a merciful and kindly Providence, the distinguished and beloved principal of West Broad Street School, Prof. James H. C. Butler has been removed from his earthly labor to a well earned reward; and, Whereas, while our grief is keen and our loss irreparable, we yet keep an unwavering faith in God that "He dooth all things well;" and, Whereas, we are deeply sensible of the sore affliction upon his family and the loss to the educational and other interests of this community which his untimely passing occasions; therefore be it. Resolved, That we, the teachers of West Broad Street School, how in humble submission to the will of Almighty God in the removal of our esteemed friend, teacher, scholar and educator, Prof. J. H. (C. Butter; and, be it, Resolved, That we record our high appreciation and recognition of his singularly rich and serviceable and unselfish life, passionately devoted to the cause of education and the general uplift of his people; and, be it, Resolved. That, we honor the magnificent example set by Professor Butler in fifty years of unrelenting devotion to the best and most efficient in character and training for the youth of this city; the marked excellence of his character and his life before the thousands of young whose lives he touched; the rate temper of his graceful and kindly, if positive nature; and the splendid spirit of affability and good fellowship which characterized his relationship with those whom he served; the charm of his dealings with others and his native inclinations to do charity and justice to those whose superior officer he had the honor to be, and, furthermore, be it Resolved. That because of his mag differed life and the high ideals he has set before us, and the shining leg- ey of devotion and conservation to the great cause of Negro education, we here conserve our own lives awe- nish the same crying causes of uplift a situation and character; that we tive to preserve and maintain the high standard of excellence and thou- ghness in education and good mark which characterized Prof. Butler's admini- stration of this venerable school which he loved so well, and he further Resolved. That a copy of these resou- tions be sent to the bereaved family; one be placed in West Broad Street School and copies be sent to he parents. Respectfully submitted: Mabel A. Robinson Alice B.

Respectfully submitted: Graduates West Broad St. School: Respectfully submitted. Committee- Mrs. Rosa Grandison Collins William DeH. Brown Miss Mabel A. Robinson R. W. Gadsden The Sunday Commercial Appeal carries a long story on the subject, of which the following paragraph is a part: *Bob Church and his activities came in for a good share of the criticism contained in the red hot messages that went sizzling over the wires. How Bob himself felt about the matter no one seemed to care. They were mad through and through and some of them intimated that if Bob did succeed in having a hand in naming the Memphis Postmaster, both he and his choice for the office were going to wish he had failed to put over his candidate. B. R. Church, who is still in Washington, has issued no statement on the subject, and it is not believed that he has any fear of the implied threats, but old timers are saying it is one of the most remarkable incidents that ever happened in Tennessee.

BUTLER POLITICAL HAP- PENINGS ASSO- CIATED PRESS Many Democrats Still Hanging On MANY PETITIONS AGAINST THE APPOINTMENT OF NEGROES BEING SENT IN Washington, D. C. May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—"Sure I must fight, if I would win! Increase my courage, Lord," is a couple of song and prayer that colored Americans may well pin to the mast head of the Ship of Progress. "The Rebels are coming"—as a matter of fact they have not left Washington, and thereby hangs the tale. As stated by The Associated Negro Press in previous correspondence, the disposition of the Administration is to be fair and just. Only two months old, it has been quite impossible to get a firm grip. The Democrats are dying hard, and they are fighting. It has been maintained by many that if the Republicans would show just half the fighting spirit that the Democrats show in things they believe in, the millennium would soon come. Picture if you will, thousands and tens of thousands of employees from every section of the South, city and backwood, sipping the nectar of governmental case and greenbacks for eight years; then comprehend, if you will, their innate hatred of Negro progress and political preferment, and you will have a definite picture in sentiment for fairness, but the "higher ups" have not all been plucked as yet, and they are as busy as hornets, and have a sting just as poisonous. Take the Department of the Auditor for the Navy, a number of the white clerks having learned that there may be a possibility of a colored American again being appointed to this position, they too, Brute, have bestirred themselves in the form of a petition "requesting and urging that a Negro be not appointed." The first petition, with 165 names, almost ready to turn over to the "Powers that be," suddenly disappeared, but there are those who say it will rise up to face the accusers—or accursed—at the proper time. A second petition is being arranged. The Associated Negro Press, through a system of unquestioned reliability and backed up by sworn affidavits, has discovered a conspiracy of racial prejudice that is truly alarming. The general public is asked to look into these matters carefully, and to weigh the charges cautiously. The conspiracy is not fostered by the Administration, nor any member of the cabinet, so far as can be ascertained, but the remnants of Democratic hold overs are doing their worst to embarrass the Administration, and to hold back favorable consideration of colored American applications. The Associated Negro Press has written a communication, giving detailed instances of prejudices and discrimination, in one of the biggest departments of the government, and the letter has been sent to the cabinet member who is the head of that department. An acknowledgement has been received and it is known that the charges are being thoroughly investigated. It is known that the southern Democratic chief clerk has been called on the carpet about the matter, and that he has sought to secure a clean bill of health from the colored employees, and these upstanding Americans steadfastly refuse to give the southern solace. More affidavits have been secured since the first letter was sent, and if there is a disposition to white wash the charges, more evidence will be produced. Regarding the subject of appointments, some have even dared to say that the administration is getting cold feet. But this cannot be verified. There are certain conditions obtaining, and if these are stated, the public may reach conclusions with as much assurance as the veriest politician or correspondent. The New York World, Democrat, in its Washington correspondence recently, called attention to the fact that up-to-date no Presidential appointment has been made. The appointments of Lieut. Flipper, by Secretary Fall, and of Phil H. Brown, by Secretary Davis, may be termed "personal" and do not require Senate confirmation. President Harding has adopted a policy of permitting the cabinet heads to name their assistants, in a very large measure. This relieves him of considerable detail and worry. The World States that Charles W. Anderson has the strongest backing for his old position of Collector of the Port of New York, and that colored people thrust the United States have begun to wonder, in the mater of appointments, "Why the delay?" Southern Democratic propaganda is very pernicious, and very insistent. It works while you sleep. It has caused one cabinet member to state that his mind is not fully made up concerning the appointment of a colored American to a big place in his department, which, too, would not be establishing a precedent. This man has always been known to be fair, the question is, is he weakening? Politics make strange bedfellows, now as always. Governor Dorsey, Democrat, of Georgia, who is about to retire, denounces lynchings, peonage and calls for remedies in language that reads like a romance of old; West Virginia, forming a pocket between the North and the South, passes drastic lynch and civil rights laws, and Pennsylvania, keystone of the thirteen original colonies and rockribbed Republican, falls flat on Civil Rights in the hour of need. The charges that the contest became factional between the Penrose and Ware elements does not lighten the fall. The Cleveland Call is authority for the report, that Governor or Harry Davis of Ohio is going to fall in the matter of appointing colored Americans to good positions. Later reports from Columbus, however, state that Gov. Davis will make good. The various measures introduced in Congress, bills against lynching, and bills for the formation of commissions of one blind and another are resting in the pigeonholes of the respective judiciary committees, to which they have been referred. One of the best known members of Congress, a man who did not introduce any of these bills, but who is heartily in sympathy with their purport, said to The Associated Negro Press representative: "The Associated Negro Press should call attention of the colored people of America to the need of urging that these bills be brought up in committees. The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House is Representative Andrew J. Volstead; the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate is Senator Kunte Nelson. Write letters to these men, and write letters to your Congressman and Senators and tell them what is wanted is action. Lynching must stop in America. All orginazations should send in signed petitions. The newspapers should take front rank in this greatest of all fights for right, and the people must back up the newspapers and editors." There is the message, word for word. What are the people going to do about it? AMONG THE MASONS At a Masonle rally held at Big Bethel A. M. E. church last Friday night, $1,387.00 in cash was raised with subscriptions amounting to $9,851.00 booked for the building fund which is being fostered by the Prince Hall Masonle Building Association. Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., delivered the principal address, while Dr. Thos. H. Slater, chairman of the building committee, made an earnest appeal to the craft for funds. The enthusiasm for the early consummation of the project was at a high pitch, and with the interest of the Masonle members that is being displayed, the promoters are hopeful that in the near future actual construction on the proposed $150,000-00 temple will begin. Several of the Lodges have failed to render the annual report with fees due since March first. Report at once. --- Keep in mind that the Grand Lodge meets in Americus Tuesday, June 21.

It is in its literal meaning formed of two Greek words meaning "suffering with" another. There is one great fact in human life that stands out very prominently and that it the universal need of sympathy. Everyone hungers for it—some with a most intense desire. No one is free from it. Of course, we should be strong in our own courage that we could get on without it. So much that better for the strong once, but even they sometimes long for it. Sympathy enters into the trials and troubles of others, gives hope to the dependent, cheers the disconsolate, encourages the struggling. Many a man who commits suicide might have been saved and his life made successful if he had chance to meet a friend with a glad hand, a smile of recognition, a kindly word or a loving inquiry as to the cause of one's troubles. Sometimes we feel cast down, humbled no one seems to care for us; we imagine we are of no use in the world, are complete failures. A sens of utter loneliness for a while takes possession of us. No one would miss us. We might better be bead. At such times how heavenly it is to meet with a cheery brother who seems most genuinely and honestly to care for us. A word of praise over something we have done, a recognition of our talents, of goodness, an intelligent comprehension of our thoughts and ideals, You can make a man sick by telling him he looks ill. You can make a man succeed by telling him he will succeed. All this is one of the highest missions in this life. It cannot be done unless one has in his heart a genuine feeling of brotherly love, which destroys self-harm by suffering with others who suffer.—Palestine Bulletin. PAYMENT OF DUES As a rule, the annual dues charged by lodges are small—varying from one to three dollars. These dues should be promptly collected, either semiannually or annually, and not be allowed to accumulate during a period of years. If the first place, the lodge usually needs these dues to defray necessary expenses and to meet charity calls Again, if collected promptly they could be much more easily paid than if allowed to accumulate. Further, it is only just that all the members should bear equally the financial burdens of the lodge. The fault is sometimes with the secretary in not making prompt collections. Yet, on the other hand, the member should not require the secretary to make more than one call, for it is not his duty to do so, neither is he sufficiently paid to exact so much of his time. Every member should cheerfully tell the secretary and the lodge by either voluntarily paying his dues, or by paying them promptly when called pon by the secretary. This may seem a small matter to one, but it should be remembered that the dues are absolutely necessary to support the lodge in all its departments, and no good Mason will allow its dues to remain unpaid for any length of time. In lodge attendance, in paying of fines, in visiting the sick, in attending funerals—Don't be a slacker!

AMERICA, AND JAPAN Chicago, Ill., May 4th (Associated Negro Press)—The Bahal Convention which held its annual sessions in this city this week, gives promise of the solution of the race problem and all others in relation to human brotherhood in a very happy way. The sessions began with the Rizwan Banquet in the Auditorium Hotel. It was largely attended by delegates and visiting friends representing all sections of America and many countries of the world. At the tables, giving signs of great amity and concord, were seen Orientals and Occidentals, Northerners and Southerners, white and colored, and representatives of all the great religions. This event presented a deep significance and a power of attraction. It was due to the influence of Abdul Baha, the servant of God and the center of the Bahal Movement. This great movement in religion, ethics and social-reform was founded by his illustrious father, Baha'O'llah, who spent forty years of his eventful life in Oriental prisons in order to free humanity from the chains and 'hackles of prejudice. His principles are broad and universal, presenting far-reaching program for world peace and brotherhood. The sessions of the Convention covered five or six days. Its business was devoted largely to plans for the Mashrek of Azkar, the great temple whose foundations are now being laid on the shore of Lake Michigan. This edifice will be unique both as to form and purpose. It will have nine sides and a great dome. Its symmetrical and beautiful form will combine all existing forms of architecture, outwardly symbolic of unity. It will welcome for worship people of all races, colors and creeds. Its great basic principle as stated by Abdul Baha, is "Prejudice toward none, love for all." Its estimated cost will be more than one million dollars. The educational and religious sessions of the Congress were addressed by many distinguished speakers, representing Europe and Africa, South DR. WILLIAM H.

The colored race was well represented among the delegates and on the program, the address of the colored speaker, a lawyer from Washington, being received with great enthusiasm. Many of the leaders of the colored race were visitors at the sessions and interest in this movement steadily grows.

Britten, bearing the protest of the Chicago Congress against the retention of Black Troops in German occupied territory, evidently an organization of Chicago Germans, which she intends to deliver to Marshal Foch, arrived here today. Marshal Foch was too busy with the May 1 occupation plank, in conference with Gen Weygand, to receive the correspondent. "It seems that Gen. Allen (Commander of the American forces of occupation) has fully replied to Mrs. Britten's protest," his aid said. "His report is quite unequivocal. There are no black troops in the occupied zone at the present time, they having been removed long since." Wanted Student Nurses- Two young women, between 18 and 125, with high school education.
