BLACK SWAN CO. FILES SUIT New York. Jan. 1—Announcement that the attorneys for the makers of the famous Black Swan Records have in preparation a damage suit against the Columbia Graphaphone Company was made here this week. It is alleged that many unfair tactics have been reported to by various white companies to obstruct the progress of the Pace Company and to curtail the growing popularity of Black Swan Records. Among the latest campaigns to be inaugurated is a series of advertisements in which it is claimed that certain artists, under exclusive contract to the Pace Phonograph Corporation are being claimed by the Columbia among their exclusive artists. The singer in question is Carroll Clark, who has been with the Pace Photograph Corporation since its beginning and two of whose records had already been released on Black Swan, Mr. Clark at one time made a record or so for the Columbia but they gave very little notice to his recording. In releasing it, in stead of publishing his picture as is usual, they printed a picture of a "Southern Scene," so Mr. Clark states. He became dis-satisfied over the matter and was among the earliest applicants to sing for the Black Swan. Due to the publicity given by Mr. Pace to Mr. Clark who has signed an exclusive contract with Mr. Pace, and after thousands of his pictures had been printed and distributed by Black Swan, the Columbia resurrected these old records and are now announcing Clark as an exclusive artist whose singings can be heard only on Columbia records. In view of the fact that a new record by Mr. Clark, Swing Low, Sweet Charlot, and "One Sweetly Solen Thought!" was released January 1st on Black Swan Records, Mr. Pace is aglised by his attorneys that the campaign of the Columbia is calculated to damage the sale of the Black Swan Records of Mr. Clark's and suit for damage is being prepared accordingly. The attorneys are also investigating the complaint that another white company has bribed certain dealers to damage their Black Swan Records before selling them to customers with a view to making the customer feel that the race product was sent out in that condition and to cause him to cease buying them. DENIES PRES. KING WAS SENT HOME Washington. D. C., Dec. 31—Ugly rumors in certain newspapers concerning President C. B. D. King, of Liberia, were labeled as absolutely false by Dr. Ernest Lyons, liberian counsel, yesterday. According to these newspapers, President King left for Liberia within forty-eight hours of the international celebration of Armistice Day, because President Harding would have been compelled to give him a prominent place in the procession on that occasion had he stayed. One paper went so far as to say that President Harding offered President King transportation home on the U. S. warship, provided he would leave before the celebration came off. "All together false and untrue." was the way Dr. Lyon branded these statements when they were called to his attention by a representative of a Baltimore paper. Under the Liberian Constitution, the President is required to be on hand at the opening of Congress the first week in December. President King had made this fact known to the State Department and President Harding. Both assured President King that they needed his presence here to complete arrangements for the loan and would see to it that he was furnished proper transportation in order to reach his country within the time required. It was under such circumstances Dr. Lyon declared that the loan arrangements were hurriedly completed and President Harding offered, the U. S. cruiser Denver, which carried him to Liberia in about eight days. SEN. COMMITEET REPORS ON HAITI Washington, D. C., Jan. 20d (Associated Negro Press)—The Semiornal Committee of which Medill McVernick of Chicago is chairman has returned from Haiti and Santo Domingo, on the Navy's Transport Argonne, and on inquiry it is believed that their report when made will embrace the following conclusions: The Island of Haiti and Santo Domingo, is today in a completely peaceful condition, except in a certain part of eastern Santo Domingo, where there is some banditry. This banditry is for purposes of plunder among the large sugar estates and does not have the character of an uprising against American intervention. Four thousand marines are living without any uprising against them in the midst of a population of 3,500,000, which if it were seriously discontented, could easily make trouble. It is not today making trouble except in the case of the Dominican bandits, who are being repressed by a combination of Dominican and American effort. No evidence was gained of any atrocities by American troops during the period of the last two year. The evidence indicating unlawful acts of violence by American troops was all of it in reference to a period which terminated two years ago. The officers importantly involved were six in number. One of them is now in an insane asylum and two of them have committed suicide. The evidence is that most of the acts of unlawful violence were committed by Haitian or Dominican members of the contabulary who had not yet been disciplined into good behavior by their American officers. The chief fault of the American Government in Haiti and in Santo Domingo has been that in neither place has it had a definite policy or program of administration, and in Haiti it has permitted a great division of responsibility among American representatives. When there is a concentration of responsibility and a definite administrative program the situation should prove increasingly beneficial to the material development of Haiti and Santo Domingo. At present the Island of Haiti and Santo Domingo is materially far behind the Americanized Island of Porto Rico. It has eight times the arena of Porto Rico and Three times the population, but it has one-third as much foreign trade. Nevertheless its potential future rises are much greater than those of Porto Rico If quiet governmental conditions and a few good roads are secured. There is local sentiment in favor of the withdrawal of the American forces but even among the leaders who express it there is a personal sentiment to the effect that the proper, safe time for the withdrawal has not yet come. It is believed that the report of this senatorial committee will tend toward the idea that American influence should be continued in Haiti and Santo Domingo with a better organization of it. The prospect is that the number of marines in Haiti and Santo Domingo will soon be reduced from 4,000 to 2,000. It is also stated that some of the American representatives have been wanting in tact and in consideration in dealing with the Haitians and Dominicans and it is hoped that there will be an improvement in organization along with an improvement in personnel and along with a decrease in military forces. 'The other senators will: McCormick are Jones of New Mexico; Oddie of Newarda and Pomerene of Ohio.' Senator McCormick has made his report to President Harding. Mnte, Hare And Richard-on-Appear Under Auspices N. A. C. P. Mine, Hare and Richardson of Boston will appear here January 22, assisted by Savannah's best musical talent, including a chorus made up of the choirs of the city. The affair will be under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. At least 2,000 colored people should hear these great race artists, Churches, schools, clubs, lodges and the public generally should measure THURSDAY JANUARY 5th, 1922 Prof. R. R. Wright, Formerly of Savannah, Principal Speaker The Georgia Beigevolent Association of New York City, of which W. L. Cox is president, and E. B. Roberts, secretary, both former Savannahans, held Emancipation everest on Sunday, January first at Palace Casino. The celebration was largely attended and splendidly carried out. The association had as its guests Washington Lodge K. of P., 1st New York Batallion U. B., with Major J. A. Thomas, commanding: Majestic Lodge K. of P., United Sons of Georgia and its auxiliary: Four Leaf Clover Club, Young Adelphia Club and its auxiliary and the Georgia Incident Auxiliary. These organizations were out in a body and assisted in making the celebration perfect in every detail. The principal address of the occasion was delivered by Prof. I. R. Wright, former presiding of the Georgia State College, of this city, who is residing in Philadelphia. The subject of his address was "Today, New Years' Day, is the time for the Negro to decide." Prof. Wright was accompanied to New York by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., and Prof L. B. Thompson. The officers of the day were: W. L. Cox, president: Joseph H.

WILEY DE- LIVERS ADDRESS Emancipation Day Appropriately Celebrated Last Monday The fifty-ninth celebration of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation was held on Monday. The exercises took place at the Second Baptist church, where an appropriate program was rendered. The parade which formed at Henry and West Broad streets and moved through the principal streets of the city was not as spectacular as those of a few years ago. It was lacking in attendance and splendor and was not given the support that it should have gotten from the public. The occasion was under the auspices of the Social Clubs Union and the ministers of the city, and for some reason, the interest shown in the day was poor. Out of the large number of clubs that are members of the union it is understood that only six took part in the parade, making the showing full far below that of recent years. At the church the program was very successfully handled by Master of Ceremonies, W. W. Mumphris and with the exception of the absence of a few numbers, the program was well carried out. The main feature of the day was the strong address delivered by Prof. C. G. Wiley, president of Georgia State College. His talk was full of facts and at sometimes humorous. He kept the audience on an edge throughout the address and elicited applause after applause. It is generally conceded that the address of Prof. Wiley was one of the ablest delivered here on such an occasion in many years and it was easily noticeable that it was WM. PICKENS ON DISARMAMENT Washington, D. G., Jan. 2nd (Associated Negro Press)—In a special statement for the Associated Negro Press, William Pickens, a contributing editor, expresses some pointed view with reference to disarmament, as follows: "Whom will they wind up by disarming Washington? Perhaps Hultt, Liberia, Chiffa, Germany, and such like "Independent" nations. There also seems to be a great desire on the part of the white nations to disarm Japan. We are not defending the Japanese we are simply stating*2 a very plain truth. The Japanese seem to be capable of looking out for themselves. They hardly need even our favorable comment, but what in the Sam Hill is the need of talking about the thing at all, unless we are willing to speak the Truth. England is second in desire only to the United States for seeing Japan disarmed. Even our good friend H. G. Well shares in this great white consciousness. We think it instructive for Japan is the first real threat against the white domination of the world since the keys of the Alham bra were last handed over. "If you notice closely you will see a great desire on the part of certain other nations to convince poor Chim that the whites are their best friends and Japan her greatest risk. Perfect understanding between China and Japan, followed by friendship and cooperation, would be the beginning of the sure end of European exploitation of Aka, and also the end of a one-color domination of this little earth. "Just notice the hypocrites! They say that the Chinese are so much more civilized and a so much better people than those Prussian the Japanese. Then why do the white nations not treat Chinese better? Why did they not invite China to be an guest at the conference? They invited Japan and there the ten times as many Chinese in China as Japanese in Japan. Dien Wells tells the story of how we have made the mistake in the past of classing the noble Chinese as an "inferior" race. He talks as if we have now discovered our mistake and decided to correct it. How? Will Dog land get out of China, will France, will any of them? No. They are leaving it to each nation to "decide for itself" even about closing their foreign post office on Chinese soil. If each nation is left to "decide for itself" about Chinese sovereignty, after this conference China will be exactly where China was before this conference—perhaps a bit worse off because of these practical agreements against her. Por, before the conference, each nation had the privilege of acting out its own ideas in China, but without the indirect sanction of a formal conference of the others. "But we are amused at the tactics to isolate the wily Japanese," "Fire-Five-Three." That looks pretty for everybody but Japan. One editor explained the justice in that problem the proportion thusly: "If the Japanese have six ships to America's ten, they will have more ships than the proportion of their territory to America's territory" etc. This editor does not know that the Pacific Ocean, when war starts, will be just as big for the Japanese as it will be for the United States; and it will be just as far from Tokyo to San Francisco, as from San Francisco to Tokyo, etc. The same editor went on to argue that America should have a bigger navy also because she has the "greater resources" that is more values, food and other wealth. But for all our brains that seems to be a good reason why America could more safely have a small navy and feel strong. REV. GOODALL'S SPECIAL SERMON To Be Delivered At First B. Church Sunday Morning "The Present Day Challenge to Negro men and boys" will be the subject of a special sermon to be delivered by Rev. T. J. Goodall, at the First African Baptist church, on Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. The committee on publicity has made necessary arrangements for the handling of the large crowd that is expected to hear this sermon. The entire main floor of the church will be given to NEGRO LAD,14,KILLED IN RACE FOLLOWING FUNERAL AUTO DRIVER NEGRO WINS GONCOURT PRIZE The Literary Sensation of the Times is the recent awarding of the famous Goncourt prize to Rene Maran. The Associated Negro Press, therefore, reproducing the following Paris dispatch which came to the New York World: Paris, Dec. 17—Few literary events have created such a stir as the winning of the Lémont de Goncourt prize by Rene Maran, the Negro writer, with his novel, "Hatoumah." Maran himself will probably be the last person in the world to learn of his success, for he is now in the wilds of equatorial Africa, three days marvel from Lake Chad. In a recent letter Maran told a friend in Paris, his only neighbors are nine white men who are scattered among the native villages within the last area under their administration. Hygemus and panthers prowl each night around Maran's lonely but at Port Archanbaut, where he was sent in disgrace recently for his too outspoken criticism of the white man's methods in the colonies. Anotedly the applause of his own race, Maran's book is not the passionate presentation of the cause of the denizens of the Dark Continent, which might be supposed, although he pleads in inachievement practice for kinder treatment of his colored brothers by the French colonial functionaries. Maran does not matter these dusky inhabitants of the African bruth. On the contrary, he portrays in the crudest colors their hideous viscs; the sordid existence of masses who think only of sleeping, hunting, eating and women. "Naturalia" is the story of the love drama of a jungle chief, with all the primitive elements, desert, jealousy, intrigue, hate, community to all humanity in every clime, kindled to an unbridled ferocity beneath the glare of the African sun. In the book vivid descriptions around of village orgies, feasts, hunts and native ceremonies in Ubanghi, Probably it is his very sincerity that makes Maran's book one which marks an epoch. In his story of but 20,000 words, Maran tells of the chiefman Bataloua's eighth wife, who for long refused to go the way of her seven sisters and accept the embraces of the sixteen year old casanova, Bissibingul. Ultimately the eighty wife weakens but Bataloua arrives and vows vengeance on Bissibingul. This is to be a long NEGRO FARMERS WORTH $16,542,607 Jefferson City, Mo. Jan 2nd (Associated Negro Press)—Fifty per cent of Missouri Negro farmers own $16,542,607 worth of farm property, according to recent census statistic, sent to Missouri Negro Industrial Commission office. Of the 17,800 Negroes in Missouri, only about 40,000 live in rural districts. The farmers have a Negro Farmers' Bureau with about 2000 members. Floyd Whin of Dalton being recently elected Chairman. Through the University of Missouri, the Negroes of the state are given one Farm Agent and one H. H. Economic specialist Mr. J. W. Butler of Dalton is the Farm Agent and Mrs. H. K. Patrick Williams of Mayville is the Economies specialist. It is highly desirable that other Government funds may be available soon so that the hundreds of Negroes in the extreme south eastern section of the States may have the advantage of the Agricultural extension work. WERE LARGELY ATTENDED The automobile races held Monday afternoon at the fair grounds, were largely attended. There were five races, three white and two colored. The first race for, white drivers, ten miles, was won by Nick Brewer, in a Savannah special. There were eight entries in the race, all of whom fell out except two. In the third lap F. M. Collins, driving a Mercer, was fatally injured when a spindle broke on his front axle and the car turned turtle, plining him under it. The second race, five miles, was won by Cutliff in a Essex. He also captured the final race for white drivers, one of three miles.

M. Collius the automobile driver who was killed In the automobile races Monday afternoon, at the fair grounds, one Negro led of 14 was instantly killed and another of the same age seriously injured, when the mischievous in which they were riding left the road at a curve and crushed into a tree. The unfortunate youth was-Johnde Mack Griffin on of Mrs. Rosa Griffin who runs a lodging house at 4541% West Broad street, next to the Wage Farmers Savings Bank. He was thrown from the machine and his neck broken when he hit a tree. He did instantly. The Williams boy was sitting in Griffin's lap and when the impact occurred he threw clear of the numerous fences near the spot of the accident, landing in the road. He suffered a broken collar bone and minor injuries. The driver of the car Prestong "Boots" Carter, a mechanic, was minified although the little racing machine is a total wreck. The machine driven by Carter, the Essex No. 3, which won two of the colored race Monday, had just passed the Gutliff Essex, which came in first in the white race, and was making, according to county police, almost sixty miles an hour when it struck the curve near the sixmile post on the Ogeechee road. Because of the terrific speed the driver could not keep the machine in the road and it leaped, a ditch ploughed through several yards of bushes and twisted itself around a large tree. In a few moments after the accident the other automobiles said to have figured in the impromptu race arrived and assisted the county police in bringing the dead and injured horses to Saranah. Charges of rockless driving and of peeling on the public highway were placed against Joe Bani and W. J. Cutliff, who are alleged to have been driving the other cars. Cutliff, it is understood, denies that he was racing. The dead lad will be buried tomorrow. Friday, at 3:30 o'clock. He was a student at the Maple street school, being a member of the sixth grade, and worked as an apprentice in the afternoon at the garage with Carter. He is survived beside his mother, by one brother, Arthur Grant, and two sisters, Mrs. Dora Lee Miller and Mrs. Rosa Hall. United Brotherhood Shows Great Growth The reports rendered by the various officers at the supreme board meeting held recently showed a healthy growth in all departments. Fire new branches were added during the last quarter. These branches being located in McIntosh, Liberty, Tattnall, Fulton and the local county. The people throughout this state, as well as the adjoining states, have realized the benefits to be derived from membership in this order, and are taking advantage of the low rated dispensation which is now in force. The supreme grand architect, together with a large number of active deputies is pushing the work forward notwithstanding the financial condition of the times. The slogan of "Carry the Message" and "Do your bit" have been adopted and are being vigorously observed by this great band of well drilled and well informed body of fraternal organizers. The local district has become extra- active in that the membership shows more enthusiasm than any previous period in the order's history. At the recent rally meeting held for the re- reserve building fund more than half the local district's quota was raised, this is a remarkable showing in the face of conditions which now prevail. It peaks well for the leaders and also for the loyalty of the members. The supreme board of representatives of the junior department took part in the recent Emancipation parade, and has received many congratulations on the excellent showing made. by Jim Parks in a Liberty.

C., Dec. 25th—For years to come the church will furnish the majority of leaders of the Negro race is the belief expressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in a new book just published entitled "The History of the Negro Church." While the author sees in the record of the church reasons for hope that the institution will continue to figure in the life of the Negro as a conspicuous factor, yet he does not hesitate to consider the faults and shortcomings of the institution. The startling feature of the book is the mass of valuable information generally unknown to the public. Although not a churchman himself, Dr. Woodson has made the Negro dehumanizations acquainted with themselves. The work contains so many facts culled from rare sources that it compels the attention of everyone intelligently interested in the history of the race. The book is well-illustrated, and is doubtlessly the History of the Negro Church for which the public has long been waiting. There have been produced many volumes in this same field, but none like this work. Without denominational bias it treats in a gripping manner the strivings of the Christian, Negroes after an ideal, which they have for centuries endeavored to attain by the development of their church. There is an interesting paranormal of the coming of the missionaries. The conversion of the slaves, the rise of the Negro preacher, the independent church movement, the autoward condition of the neglected bondmen, the role played by the Negro churchman in freedom and, what, the Church is doing today. On the whole, this work actually establishes the claims of Dr. Woodson as an authority in a new field. His previous works "The Education of the Negro Prior to 1851," "A Century of Negro Migration" and his work as Editor of the "Journal of Negro History" have been interested in the history and development of the Negro race. A. AND T. COLLEGE NEWS Greensboro, N. C.—Sunday December 23, Christmas day, the students were given a Christmas dinner. The faculty and city friends were invited.

Dudley, the president's wife. Their talks were full of thought and in spiration. Tuesday night, December 27, there was a meeting of the Negro Business Men of the city, and vicinity. It is curious that there will be an awakening in the business of the Negro here after by the attitude shown. Friday night, December 30, the students gave one of their annual, socials. The Klönd Hopper, for which they had lingered prepared. It met our expectations, nicely so, far as merriness was concerned, and is regarded by all who attended as the greatest social function of the year. We had guests from far and near. President Dudley. Prof. Bluford, Dr. Sebastian and other prominent men favored us with remarks which were an inspiration. KAPPA PSI HOLDS 11TH ANNUAL GRAND CHAPTER Cleveland, Ohio, Jan 2nd (Associated Negro Press)—The national Greek letter Fraternity of Kappa Psi held its 11th Annual Grand Chapter here from December 27th to 30th inclusive. The meeting afforded an excellent opportunity to observe the types of educated, useful and intelligent manhood which American universities are making of our Negro youth. Delegates from all parts of the United States attended, representing all the leading institutions of learning as well as the larger world of professional and business activity. One of the features of the meeting was the awarding of the Fraternity medals of honor for long and proficient service to the organization. The medals this year were conferred upon K. W. Diggs and Irvon Arm strong by Prof. Mayzeeks. In addition to this recognition of intra-fraternity MASONIC NEWS MASONIC TIE OF FRIENDSHIP Not satisfied with natural barriers, men erected high walls of sect and caste, to exclude their fellows and the men of one sect were sure that the men of all other sects were wrong—and would be lost. Thus, when real mountains no longer estranged man from man, mountains were made out of molehills—mountains of immemorial misunderstanding not yet moved into the sea. Barriers of race, of creed, of caste, of habit, of training and interest separate men today, as if some malign genius were bent on keeping man from his fellows, begetting suspicion, uncharitableness and hate. All through the ages men were unfriendly, and therefore, unjust and cruel, largely because they were unacquainted. In the meantime—and, verily, it was a mean time—Maonry, the oldest and most widely spread order, was toiling in behalf of friendship, uniting men upon the only basis upon which they can ever meet with dignity, each lodge an oath of equality and good will in a desert of fend and strife. At its altar men met as man to man, without vanity and without reproach, held together by common vows to the right, as tourists crossing the Alps themselves together, so that if one slip and fall all may hold him up. Its tie of friendship—peculiar particular and unique—was like those tiny fibers running through the ginger, along which sunbeam journey, may, melting the frozen mass and sending it to the valleys below in rivulets of blessing. Other fibers were there, but none more far ramifying, none more tender, none more responsive to the light than the mystical tie of Maonic love.—Selected "Those who live on the mountains have a longer day than those who live in the valley. Sometimes all we need to brighten our day is to rise a little higher. OUR OPPORTUNITY Today Masonry stands face to face with the sublimest opportunity to justify its existence and make sure its grip upon the soul of man that it has ever known, says an observing writer. The destiny of the order will largely depend upon its seizure of its failure to seize this opportunity. Masonry cannot hope to survive the shock and strain of earth's most perilous hour by resting upon a lodge that reaches back to the shadowy beginnings of time. Age is venerable only when found in the ways of righteousness. Grip and guard, and pass will become colemn vanities unless now, while the clock of destiny strikes, they shall open the wicket to the world wide arena of selves thought and high endeavor. The majestic music of our ritual will become "sounding brass and tinkling cymbal" unless under its martial strains we shall fall in with those shining legions that count it joy to die that honor may live, and righteousness rule the earth.—New England Craftsman. A COMPLETE GROCERY STORE Lack of Faith In Banks Ends in $2900 Robbery In a recent issue the Washington Evening Star comments on the robbery of an eccentric herd doctor at Deltn, Ohio, of $20,000 which he carried in a pocket book in preference of depositing his money in a bank. This sum represented his lifelong savings. That sort of reasoning has fortunately passed, and there are now comparatively few people who distrust banks and prefer to board their savings and carry them about personally or hide them in cupboards and sugar bowls and behind loose bricks, and other similar places. Banks are recognized as much more secure than any hiding hole that can be found. The war did a good deal to bring the banks into use by the people. The sale of government bonds through them set up a much more wholesome relationship. Great numbers of people found that secreted money was not really working after all, and that money is only useful when it is at work. That Delta doctor perhaps never figured out that if he loaned this money at 6 per cent, or bought first-class security at that rate, he would be $1,710 to the good every year. Or, if he put it in the bank in a savings account at 2 per cent his annual return would be $870, compounding, in other words, he was losing at least $750 a year whether he kept his money safely or not, losing it just as surely is though somebody had taken it from him. Now he has lost principle as well as interest. CARD OF THANES Mrs. John H.

LEVY BROTHER & COMPANY THE ASSOCIATED MEDIA FIRMS FIRST IN SERVICE FATAL SPEEDING Events of the past few days have brought to public attention very viridly the fatal dangers that beset auto mobile speeding on the highways. A youth of fourteen years is dead, and another of the same age lies in a hospital badly injured, and the driver of the racing car in which they were "burning up" the roads yesterday after afternoon when the accident happened is in the clutches of the law. The mania for speeding on the public highways seems to be at an unusually high pitch these days and, once and a while, it is attended by such fatal results as that of Wednesday after noon when the three high powered racing cars which had but two day before performed so remarkably well on the fair grounds race track the mistake of using the Ogeechee road as a speed course. It is rather surprising that their utter disregard for the safety of others resulted only in one death, for it is remarkable that any one of the three in the car that struck the tree, escaped death. Chatham county roads, especially those covered with cement, are inviting to the speedsters and give them much allurement for trying out their cars. These roads will have to be most carefully watched by the county police or there will be many other accidents, perhaps, attended by further fatalities. EDITORIAL EXCERPTS BLACK MAN ONCE RULED EGYPT The New York American has been a paper that has attempted to hold the African Negro up to ridicule and contempt, and I was surprised this morning when I opened the editorial page and saw a picture of a Splinx, and then right under it stated that the Splinx—the ancestors of the colored man—your neighbor—ruled in Egypt. It amazed me to see a paper that has always attempted to hold the Negro in contempt recognize the fact I have proclaimed for thirteen or fourteen years amid contempt and ridicule at first that black men once ruled in Egypt. Then it goes on further to say the most famous of all the Splinxes with thick Etheoplan lips and flat Etheoplan nose is the great Splinx of Ghiza carried in a single rock, 189 feet in length. That recognition by the N.Y. American of the black man's part in ancient history shows that "truth crushed to earth will rise again." One man says that "when a lie gets a start on truth that truth will catch up with it." Another man says "a lie only circummvegates the world once but truth goes on forever." This is just an illustration.—W. H. Ferris in Negro World. WHERE IGNORANCE SHOWS MOST Not a day passes but that our attention is gallled to the fact that our younger generation as well is members of the old is in need of admonition in regard to certain rules of politeness and courtesy, the lack of which not only reflects discredit upon them but upon the race at large. The thing most prevalent is the use of street corners, street cars, or public places wherever more than one of them happens to be assembled for anxious conversations, loud talking, unnecessary arguments on topics of which the party holding the floor has very little knowledge. To, too many of us it seems a long sought for privilege to stand on a corer and proclaim to the person with whom we are speaking, some along drawn out argument, in tones so voluminous that the attention of all passersby and even those across the street is attracted to the same. It seems a blessed privilege for some youngster, about the right age to think that he has all of the sense that he needs to board a street car, train or some other public utility and begin either to start some loud conversation which is audible above the roar and bustle of traf- OPPORTUNITY OF THE CHURCH Among the opportunities offered the coming year, none' exceed in vital importance that offered the church from useful and devoted service to the race. This opportunity should be utilized by the stronger men in the various domination preaching the gospel of a living Christianity. These pastors should exert a larger influence through the force of their teaching by example as well as by precept. Their mission should be the moulding of character in citizenship in business and in the church. The Negro clergy is perhaps the most powerful element in the cultivation of character among the race equal to if not surpassing the school teacher, and being pressed for place by the Negro newspaper. In order to maintain the place the ministry has occupied for the past half century, it is necessary for the church of every lenomination to put its best and strongest men on guard. The preacher and the school teacher in many small places are the vital heads of the community. The progress of such communities is largely dependent upon their example and precept. A great responsibility rests with the responsible authorities of the church for sending the right man to the right place. A few weeks ago it was pointed out now an over ambitious pastor, without business experience or financial ability could wreck a congregation and cause it to lose its place of worship. A pastor of weak character and doubtful morality can cause greater disaster to a congregation by bringing about its spiritual downfall. Good character and a clean record should be required if every candidate for the ministry before he is given a charge. The cure of souls is too great a chance to be confined to men of weak character or will renote. The opportunity opening before the church this year calls for the highest degree of spiritual devotion, coupled with strong moral character and consistent Christian living. Put men of his quality at the head of our churches and other welfare organizations, and the results should be commensurate with the opportunities offered. The instruments must be fitted to the task to be done—New York Age. WHAT IS SOUTHERN BLOOD? Every year or two Congress is made the scene of the actions of some bully who wants to whip everybody in sight. These scenes have been periodic for the last sixty years and with extreme few exceptions the bullys have been solos from the other side of the Mason and Dixon Line. The latest of these scenes was enacted by the Hom. Thomas E. Watson, junior senator from Georgia, Senator Watson is bringing charges against the American army that there were numbers of executions of American soldiers in France during the great war without trial by court martial as well as shootings of privates by their officers. Last week during one of the hearings before the Senate Committee which is investigating the charges Senator Watson suddenly jumped from his seat, and flourishing his list within in a few inches of the face of Major George W. Cochen, exclaimed. "For two pennies I'd hit you in the jaw." Major Cochen is reported to have kept his face steadily front without batting an eyelash. The Senator then, subduing his chair, complained that he did not propose to be insulted by a bullied, brute. He later explained, in begging the pardon of the committee, that the officer had insulted him by the manner in which he looked at him. He said, "These officers sat there and eyed me with an insolence that roused my Southern blood." This brings up the question. What is Southern blood, and why is it so much richer and nobler than Northern or Western blood? Why is it that Southerners are so much more susceptible to insult than men in other parts of the country, and why is it that they feel called upon at all times to defend their honor against the slightest insult, with anything from fists to pistols, even after they become members of the United States Senate? This tradition about the richness and nobility of Southern blood which is so seduitionly fostered in the South is nothing more than a fiction. In fact we know of no group of white men anywhere on the face of the earth who have less to be proud of than the white men of the South. They have contributed less to civilization, done less for humanity in general, and have a lower standard of law and order THE SAVANNAH,TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JANUARY 5,1922 published and whose foresight, judgment and executive ability are sustained through the creative works accredeled to her in the large school for girls at Daytoma, Fla., and in her public utterances which always showed sanity, perspicuity and directness; Whereas Mrs. Bethune is lifting the standard of Negro womanhood in her life and works, and in the heart to heart message she bears to her race in general and her sex in particular; and has this day stamped an incredible impress of loftiness of ideal and of purpose on the hearts of those who listened to her practical and sound platform and program for the present-day man and woman; there fore, be it. To become a strong race we must learn to love and care more for each other. We must learn to trust each other more and become worthy of trust. We will have to cast away that old antagonistic spirit that is existing in our, hearty against each other. Now let it be remembered that this race of ours has been put to the test since they have been here in this country, for in the beginning of the Revolutionary War the first man that fell in battle was a Negro slave, Criusus Attuck. In the struggle between the States, the Civil War, he played his part well and in the Spanish American war he could be seen fighting his way up San Juan Hill and capturing the block house; and thus "The Sharna of the Bozart" points out the utter cultural decadence of the South. He points out the fact that for a half century the white South has failed to produce even individual firstrate men, and that there are single acres in Europe that house more firstrate men than all of the states south of the Potomac. He calls attention to the startling truth that "in all that vast region, with, its, thirty, or forty million people and its territory, as large as half a dozen Frances or Germans, there is not a single poet, not a serious historian, not, a creditable composer, not a critic, good or bad, not a dramatist, dead or alive." In this essay Mr. Mecken draws the following conclusion: "If the whole of the late Confederacy were to be engulfed by a tidal wave tomorrow the effect upon civilized minority of men in the world would be but little greater than that of the flood of the Yangtze-Kiang. It would be impossible in all history to match so complete a drying up of a civilization." What is it that impels Southerners everywhere and on all occasions to boast and bellow about their superiority. The truth is, they are suffering from a Freudian complex, an inferiority complex. They are consciously and unconsciously attempting to supply what they feel they lack by loudly proclaiming their possession of it. When an army officer, whom Senator Watson is directly or indirectly charging with high crimes and misdemeanors, looks at him with anything but a smile, the Senator feels that he is being insulted, he calls the officer a bull-necked brute and feels impelled to punch him in the face. All of this the senator ascribes to his "hot Southern blood." To our mind the vanguard "hot Southern blood" is made up of one-third held manners, one third bunk and the other third of the spirit to Lynch—New York World.

On a bright and beautiful morning just about 300 years ago there stole into the same-town harbor a little Dutch shipping vessel, which cast anchor in the middle of the stream. Upon the deck of that little queerly built vessel, with chains around their ankles and chains around their wrists, was a huddled group of human sufferers of black skin, about 20 in number, who were snatched from their primitive homes in Africa and brought to gilts, country to become chattels and puffen bearers to the founders of a new world and after wearing the joke of slavery for over two hundred years, Got Almighty using Abraham Lincoln as an instrument, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation which set us free from slavery. But let us not stop here for there are many more long days of toll for us before we shall reach the height of freedom. The cry of today is for men and women of thought, and men and women of action. For the world is now passing through a process of reconstruction and our race does not need men who are always blind to approach opportunities. We need men who will fearlessly and anxiously go to meet an opportunity when ever it presents itself. Our race needs men of pluck, past and progress. The cry of the race is for a progressive man and womanhood; one that will advance in spite of obstacles and impediments. I have not elected to bring to you staffs of progress but I am attempting to show you the necessities of our race. To become a strong race we must learn to love and care more for each other. We must learn to trust each other more and become worthy of trust. We will have to cast away that old antagonistic spirit that is existing in our hearts against each other. Now let it be remembered that this race of ours has been put to the test since they have been here in this country, for in the beginning of the Revolutionary War the first man that fell in battle was a Negro slave, Cripus Attuck. In the struggle between the States, the Civil War, he played his part well and in the Spanish American war he could be seen fighting his way up San Juan Hill and capturing the block house and thundering that war. And it will never be forgotten the important part that he played in the great World War where he fought unthinkingly and with that undaunted spirit that this race possessed. He was able to stand the greatest test that mankind was ever put to before; now let us not forget our duties to our children, for it is an undisputed fact that our children of today will be our race of tomorrow. So it is up to us to train them that they will be able stand the test in the future like we stood our. Now, Lincoln and I appeal to you as a body of intelligent people, to stand up for the fundamental principles of honor and integrity and with strong hands rebuke the things that are wrong in your club. Now, Lincoln Aid and Social Club Branch, I appeal to you, don't get discouraged, but stand together and if you do that we shall be Bugene C.

Dabs has been fearless in his denunciation of American radical prejudice and has won the silent, as well as active admiration* of thousands of Negroes throughout the United States. It is altogether likely that in a short time veteran agitator will "turn loose a barrel full" of Negrophobia. Politically, leaders are frankly alarmed at the situation, and are "slitting light," wondering what may happen. When the prison doors closed on Debs at Atlanta, the Socialist leader went deeply touched by the scene he had just left. A most remarkable demonstration had attended his departure from prison. All institutions in the prison had been suspended in his honor and the 2,500 inmates were permitted to give him a rousing "seadoff." As he walked to the warden's office to receive his final release cheers from 2,500 throats elicited through the great stone building. They stood at the windows and cheered again as he entered the warden's automobile and rode out of the prison into freedom. Early in the morning he had said farewell to most of them individual. They embraced the "best beloved prisoner" as Debs was known in the Atlanta institution and wept as he parted from them. One youth swept in his arms. The last farewell was said to Sam Moore, Negro, who has been an介nate of the prison for thirty years, sent there from Washington for a murder committed while he was a boy. In the prison Debt was known as the "guardian of the Negro inmates". He and Moore Lad struck up a close friendship during the three years of his confinement.

JOHNSON—In remembrance of Laura Brown Johnson, departed Dec. 28, 1915 As we look around in the old home place, Where we have lived so many years Things never seem the same to us. As we sit in the fire-light glow, We miss the sound of our loved one's voice The sight of our loved one's face Things never seem quite the same to us As they did when you were here. So we learn the lesson that's sad and true That nothing on earth shall last For the loves of today, and the joys of today Are soon with the things of the past The scenes and folks of the old home place. All change with the changing years Thing never seem the same to us Since you left us, Laura dear. Sisters Ellen Johnson Lavinia Williams M. B. Marshall Rosa M. Flagg, Boston, Mass. Rebecca A.

For some time Mrs. McCormick has been a resident of Switzerland. On her return to the United States some months ago she started her friends by the publication of an interview in which she declared that she has become a student of synthetic psychology "I am a psychologist, and that compiles freedom of action," she said.

We became taxed flesh. What had we to expect of a race which had no heart? The whites even abandoned the children they had from black women. White Women Worse Than Black "As for white women, we had believed them to be precious matter. As easy to win as black women and more venal, they possessed vices our women had no inkling of. And we were asked to respect them! "We are only the beasts of burden. Not even that; the whites feed their dogs and horses. We are less than animals, less than the lowest. Slowly they kill us. "They treat us as liars. Our lies deceive no one. If sometimes we embellish, the truth it is because the latter is unsatisfactory. They lie as methodically as they breathe; hence their superiority." Maran's only law is instinct without inhibition; western moral is unnatural and whites display viciousness shocking to the native. In his preface the author instances a village where the population has sunk from 10,000 to 1,000 in the last seven years. This he says, is everywhere the case since the whites came, bringing drink and disease and compelling the case-loving native to toll incessantly. Civilization Built on Corpses "But what does it matter? Only that those who fall to adapt themselves to civilization disappear. Civilization, you are building your kingdom on corpses. You are no fame but a furnace. Everything you touch you consume." Maran is now writing a volume entitled, "A Black Looks on the Whites". His own countrymen although proud of his success are unanimous in their disapproval of "Lilonaali," which according to the colored deputy, Dlague will cause "more than 100,000 whites men to form an unfavorable opinion of the cloried people whose vices Maran Page Eleventh Resources Liabilities Phone 1198 (Continued from Page 1) named affair. "The white sees red whereas hate is along patience you must put everything at the disposal of your enemy. Give him the best of limbs. The particular end chosen for Bissibingul is to be eaten by a panther, but the panther springs on Eatonala in stead and his eighth wife proceeds to live with Bissibingul many weeks besides the dying chieftan. In his delirium the latter speaks once more his mind against the whites, their lying cruelty, want of legle, and hypocrisy. There were no whites, no blacks, all are brothers, he says. One should not steal nor beat a neighbor. War and savagery were one. And blacks were compelled to go away to fight the battles of the whites under pain of being hung. When in the full bloom of health, Patricia, always rallied at the whites, laughing at their suffering from the heat, mosquitoes, scorpions and flies, their colored spectacles and the baskets on their heads, and he professed disgust at the cadaver oder emanating from their bodies. "The whites! Only their malignity and knowledge made them terrible. What matter if they be Germans or French? Both play with us like a cat with a mouse, finally diverting us. As we must be killed why wish for others than the French to kill us? I remember when our people lived peaceably, smoking, eating, drinking sleeping, loving. Then came the whites. The only useful thing they ever brought were absinthe and the bed. They followed us and would impose their customs on us. No more gambling, no more drinking no more dance unless we paid. Far always.

PRESIDENT AUTHORIZED TO CALL ECONOMIC CONFERENCE Resolutions Introduced By Senator France Washington, D. C. Jan. 2nd (Associated Negro Press)—A resolution by which President Harding would be "authorized and directed" to call an international economic conference was introduced in the Senate today by Senator France, Republican, of Maryland. The conference would be held in Washington in March in 1922. The purposes of the conferences to be set out in formal invitations were outlined as a consultation "concerning formation of a more perfect general concert and union, establishment of general justice, assurance of general tranquility and promotion of general welfare." About fifty nations and states would be invited including Austria Hungary Ireland, Germany and Russia, and also Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay and Venezuela. HIS LAST LOVE LETTER IN "Anchor and Shield" appears a touching story of a woman, with three small children, sitting, on the day of her husband's funeral, trying to figure out what would become of her now that she was left alone in the world with no income, no home. While in this seemingly hopeless position, a bank messenger came to the door and handed her a package of papers, on which she noticed the following; in her husband's handwriting: "To be delivered to my wife the day of my funeral." When she unwrapped the bundle she found a letter, with the notation "My last love-letter." It is shown below: "When you receive this, I shall be far away from you; so far that the only answer you can give me will be your unchanging love. I am writing this alone in the office, where I sit thinking how old and how large the lads will be when you get this letter. Very old, I hope. This is my last love-letter. Do you remember the first? How strange it seemed to be writing it, and how happy I was! I wanted you so! And do you remember the answer you wrote? I shall never forget it. You will find it with my valuables. Now I am writing my last, and I am happy, for no shadow makes me think it will soon be read. With my first letters I sent you flowers; with this I enclose a life insurance policy. You may be surprised how I managed, with the expense of the family, to keep the policy paid. But you will remember we often did without things we wanted and you will know why, after your long illness, I borrowed money. I was tempted sometimes to let it drop, but I was afraid to. My love for you said No. Now it is yours—and the children—and you need not want for any necessary comforts if you manage well. This knowledge makes it worth ten times over what the policy has cost. That is all. It comes to you as an expression of my love. May God bless and keep you and the babies.—H. E."—From the Virginian. North Carolina Mutual Life Ins.
