NEGRO PREACHER
DRIVEN FROM
WINDER
Beaten By Masked Men Unmercifully—Gover nor Hears Report.
Atlanta, March S—Claiming that twelve to fourteen disguised and masked white men took him to a woods near the town of Winder in Bartow county, robbed him of all he possessed, flogged him unmercifully and drove him from the community, B. N. Heningham, a Negro Methodist preacher, a subject of Great Britain, who came to this country about eight years ago from Kingston, Jamalca, sat in Governor Hardwick's office to-day and told a story of horrible brutality. Headed by by Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor of Big Bethel Methodist church, Atlanta, a delegation of Negro preachers, composed of Singleton, B. J. Bridges, J. R. Alemin and J. A. Hadley, accompanied Heningham to the Governor's office to make a personal report of the Winder outrage. Claiming the several places where Heningham has served Negro churches since he came to America, principally in Rome, Governor Hardwick immediately instituted an investigation of the Jamaica Negro preacher's story, directed the civil authorities to exert every effort to identify and bring the guilty parties before the court, to have them indicted and leave it with the court to administer the punishment the case derives.
He asked Henningham if he wanted to go back to Winder, telling him, while he would not advise it, if the preacher desired to do so, the Governor's office would direct the sheriff of the county to afford him every possible protection by employing a pose if necessary, and if that did not effort the necessary protection he would employ the military branch of the government not only to protect Henningham, but to bring this sort of thing to a stop.
Henningham, however, said he would want to go back only for one thing, that the little stone church he was building for his people was' only about half completed, and he did not like to have that work go down. He thought though, it would be better for him to go to Kentucky and report the situation to his bishop and there obtain instructions. Gov. Hardwlek left the matter with Henningham to decide for himself, with the statement that, if he decided to complete his church in Winder on which the Negro said he had himself been working every day, the state would throw about him every possible protection. While Henningham made a detailed

Separated 40 Years Asked For Divoce
Many Receive Divorce At Recent Term Of Court
Anthony Dallas appeared in the Superior court court yesterday seeking a divorce from his wife, Erlina Dallas, on the grounds of desertion. The court seemed a bit surprise when the plaintiff stated that he and his wife had been separated for 40 years and that his oldest daughter was 35 years, and grand children married. In instructing the jury Judge Meldrim told them that it was with them to determine as to whether or not the young lady had sufficient grounds to desert her husband at that time, and if not then the plaintiff was entitled to a divorcement either total or partial. The decree was granted giving each party the right to remarry.
Among those receiving divorces were Wm.McCall vs Leoni McCall cruel treatment; Pearl Bright vs Edmond Bright; Edgar Jones vs Rosa Jones; Robert Masters vs Minnie Masters; Eva Robertson vs Dewitt Robertson; Louis Jackson vs Saddle Jackson; Norris N. Rush vs Heriline Rush; Ernest Corker vs Annie Corker; SamCoffey vs Mary Hilton Coffey; Nettle Brown vs Charles Brown and Annie Banks vs Willie Banks. The case of Stewart vs Stewart was postponed on account of the death of Attorney Kluckle.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY MARCH 9, 1922
(By Dr. Emmett J. Scott)
Washington, D. C.-The Associated Negro Press is entitled to the grateful thanks of colored Americans everywhere for its enterprise in giving direction to the National Memorial Service to be held March 12th, 1922, in honor and memory of the late Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A.
I am requested to say a word with regard to the widespread resentment among the colored people which was ocastand by Colonel Young's retirement
PRES. HARDING'S TRIBUTE
TO COLONEL CHAS. YOUNG
"It is a pleasure, which indeed I count a duty as well to testify my very high opinion and regard for Colonel Young. A graduate of the West Point Academy, he spent his life in the army, serving with real distinction. My recollection is that although he had been retired some time before the United States entered the world war, he promptly tendered his services and was greatly distressed because they were declined because of his age and physical condition. Colonel Young was a credit to the service and a distinguished honor to the race from which he came; a race that in the world was carried its full part and acquitted itself with utmost credit. It is highly fitting that in the world war carried its pay a tribute of respect and affection.
from the army on the eve of his advancement to a brigadier generalship, and with respect to the organized effort which was made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Colonel Young's friends to have him restored to active duty. Happily for me, I am so pleased as special assistant to the
SENATOR BORAH AND LYNCHING
SENATOR BORAH AND LYNCHING
Is Convinced Lynching Is Wrong
Washington, District of Columbia, March 8th (Associated Negro Press)—"I am convinced that the National government should step in and take a stand against the wrong of lynching." Thus spoke Senator William E. Borah, Republican of Idaho, in an interview for the Associated Negro Press Senator Borah, by being appointed chairman of the sub-committee of the judiciary committee of the Senate, having charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bell, assumes the most outstanding position in the onward march of "Law and Order" since the days of the "Missouri Compromise."
There is no question in the minds of those who have discussed the appointment of Senator Borah as chairman of this committee that will lead the fight for the anti-lynch bill, that if the Senator believes in it, there will be action.
Continuing, Senator Borah said: "There are two things that I would have you tell the people of your race: First I wish to be satisfied that the law is Constitutional. I have sworn to uphold the constitution of the United States; therefore, I cannot ask to have a law passed that I know is unconstitutional. If the law, as drawn, is constitutional, I am for it. I will go even further, if there should develop in my mind a reasonable doubt as to the constitutionality. I will then support it and let the courts decide.
"Second, in the matter of hearing, I think for the most part, they should be directed to the constitutional phase of the subject. The hearings should not be long drawn out, I do not think that necessary; they should be brief and to the point.
"The best informed persons should be agreed upon for spokesmen, and besides oral statements, better still briefs, should be prepared for presentation to the committee."
Asked when a date would be set for the hearings, Senator Borah replied that he could not set a date yet, but would do so at the earliest opportunity. He spoke of his interest in the pending treaties, and other measures that are before the Senate, and declared that ample announcement for the time of the hearing would be given.
secretary of war as to be in position to co-operate with these forces. It is a matter of common knowledge that the colored people felt that Colonel Young's retirement was for reasons other than those stated in the findings which were publicly announced. Hundreds of letters and petitions from individuals and important organizations were addressed to the War Department and high officials of the government protesting against Colonel Young's retirement and calling upon the War Department to restore him to active duty. While these efforts were under way, Colonel Young requisitioned his faithful white charger and rode from Wilberforce to Washington to prove that he was fit for military service.
Upon reaching Washington it was Colonel Young's desire to present himself to the Secretary of War directly. Military regulations stood in the way in that it is not possible for an officer of the line to go directly to the Secretary of War with any matter without the approval of the office of the adjutant general. Word was conveyed
WARNS NEGROES ABOUT BILL
WARNS NEGROES ABOUT BILL
Mrs. Kelly Tells of Discriminating Issue
New York, N. Y., March 4th—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public advance extracts, from articles to appear in the March number of "The World Tomorrow" dealing with various aspects of the race problem in the United States.
One of the articles is by Mrs. Florence Kelley, a member of the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. F. and warns colored people of the dangers in the Sterling Towner Bill, which is now before Congress. In speaking of the measure, Mrs. Kelly says:
"This measure has great backing and is cunningly drafted to perpetuate the old discrimination against public education of the Negroes in the South. Should the Sterling-Towner bill be passed as it stands, it would give federal sanction, backed by $100,000,000 of federal funds, to State policies, which now results in the expenditure, for the essential item of teachers' salaries, of $2.80 per capita per annum for colored children, and $10.32 for white children. According to a document recently issued by the federal government, this ratio obtains in fifteen Southern States and the District of Columbia, where records are kept of teachers' salaries according to race." Other articles in the March number of the World Tomorrow are "The Myth of Racial Inferiority" by Herbert Adolphus Miller. "The Negro's Contribution to America" by Eugene Klnckle Jones; "The Negro in Industry" by Mary E. McDowell; "Social Equality and Racial Intermixture" by Dr. Du Bols.
YOUNG MEMORIAL HELD SUNDAY
YOUNG MEMORIAL HELD SUNDAY
Services Will Be Held At Dunbar Theatre
Memorial services in honor of the late Col. Charles G. Young who died in Africa a little over a month ago while he was in the consular service o the government, will be held Sunday afternoon at 3:20 o'clock at the Dunbar Theatre. Simultaneously with the local services there will be similar meetings held throughout the country in honor of this distinguished soldier who was one of the three Negroes to graduate from the military academy at West Point and who attained the highest rank of any Negro in the regular army.
The services Sunday will, doubtless, be attended by a large crowd including many ex-soldiers. The principal address will be delivered by the Rev. Arnold E. Gregory, pastor of the First Congregational Church, and the Rev. S. T. Redd-pastor of the Butler Presbyterian church, will preside. The services are being held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
to me of Colonel Young's arrival in the city by his personal friend Dr. William L. Board. There was a feeling on the part of the Special Assistant and others that it would hardly be possible to secure the approval of the Adjutant General for Colonel Young to present himself directly to the Secretary. A "Council of War" was held. It was decided to ask me to work out a program whereby Colonel Young might directly reach and speak with the Secretary of War. I went
GEN. PERISHING'S TIBUTE
TO COLONEL CHAS. YOUNG
In connection with the memorial services which are being held to honor the memory of the late Colonel Charles Young, I wish to commend his exemplary life as a splendid example to the other members of his race. Colonel Young was a man of proven integrity who rose to high rank in the service of his country. By close application to duty he achieved success and won the respect of his fellow army officers. His career in the army of the United States should ever be an inspiration to his people.
to the Acting Chief of Staff and secured approval of the request that Colonel Young be permitted to go directly to the Secretary, not so much to make an appeal in his own behalf as to present himself to the Secretary, that the latter might learn of his ride from Ohio and himself see the fit condition of the Colonel. Colonel Young who was waiting in my office was conducted to the office of the Secretary of War. The Secre-

1.500 MEALS TO DESTITUTE MEN
Philadelphia, Pa., March 8th (Associated Negro Press)—East Calvary M. E. Church at Broad and Fitzwater streets here, of which Rev. Charles A. Tindley is pastor, has been demonstrating the modern spirit of Christianity. Since January 9th, more than 15,000 meals have been given to desi- titute men, colored and white; and 1000 men have been housed. As many as 381 in a single day have been fed. Thru an arrangement with the Western Bath House (the church paying for the same) all of the homeless men were allowed to go there for baths.
The doors of the church have been thrown open from 12 to 2 each day and men of all nationalities and conditions have found shelter and food. A large table seating 60 persons was placed in the Sunday school room and here generous members of the church served them a free dinner. No matter how dirty or tagged a man was; no matter whether he came from the west coast of Africa, England, Oregon or Alabama—his need was his only card of admission. At least one third of the men helped have been white men.
In addition to food given, many homeless men have been allowed to sleep in the church at night, and paid lodging provided for others. Numbers of the men were given entire outfits of clothing and employment secured for them.
Discovered among the men helped was the grandson (white) of the man who during slavery, owned the Rev. Charles A. Tindley now pastor of this church. Another little lad from Africa was the sole survivor of a shipwreck crew. Men with musical ability, mechanical talent; some with professions, are being helped to regain their foothold in the world and be come useful citizens.
The most stirring revival in the history of the church has been held during the past two months. There have been 1200 conversions, an average daily of 25 men. Many of these have polled East Calvary Church. The self-sacrificing spirit of the members of East Calvary and their pastor, the Rev. Tindley, has awaken-

Had Practiced Law In This City For
Thirty-Five Years
J. II. Kinckle, Savannah's oldest
practicing attorney, died Saturday
night about 11 o'clock at his residence,
514 Henry street - cast. Mr. Kinckle
had been in ill health for a number of
months yet he was not confined to
the house until about four weeks prior
to his death. He was most widely
known of the local attorneys because
of his long service before the local
courts which spread over a prelod of
thirty-five years.
Mr. Knickle was a native of Lynchburg, Va., but came to this city shortly after the completion of his law course and practiced in the courts here up to a few weeks before his death. His funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the residence, the Rev. Braithwaite, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, conducting the services. The deceased is survived by a wife, Mrs. Jennie Knickle; two sons, J. Vassar and Edmond J. Knickle; one daughter, Mrs Gwendolyn Mae Knickle; two sisters, Mrs J. E. Jones of Richmond, Va., and Mrs D. W. Vassar of Philadelphia; a nephew, Eugene Knickle Jones of New York City and two nieces, Mrs. Charles Lewis of Philadelphia and Mrs. R. K. Jones of Richmond, Va.
FAVORS ANTI- LYNCHING BILL
Lynching Violates Laws Of The Republic
New York, N. Y., March 2—Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri at a mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Town Hall, Wednesday night, March 1st this city, speaking of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, passed by the House of Representatives on January 20' and now before the Senate, said in part:
"If we fall now to enact the anti-lynching bill into law we must admit to the world that our Government is incapable of protecting the lives of its citizens, as guaranteed to them under the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
"The cry of those who oppose this legislation on the ground that it is a violation of State Rights is without proof. The opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, and decisions of courts have been produced in abundance, upholding the constitutionality of this legislation. In addition to that we have the human side of the question, which Is, that the States having failed in so many particulars to protect life of citizens of the States and of the United States, it is the duty of the Congress to act, regardless of any doubt of the final decision as to the constitutionality of the law, which should be left to the Supreme Court of the United States. I have no doubt that the Supreme Court will uphold it.
"The other objection to the legislation, that it is to protect the crime of rape, I answered by saying, that only a small number of lynchings that have taken place in the last quarter of a century have been on that account. In fact, it is a simple question of whether the guilt or innocence of a man or woman be determined by a mob or by the courts. Shall law and order prevail in this great Republic of ours, or shall we admit that the courts are unable to function because of the lawless, and mob spirit that prevails. This is the question now for the Senate of the United States to answer to the people of America. The statement that filibustering will prevent the Senate passing this bill is without foundation because the Senate can make its own rules and can consider, and vote upon legislation if they see fit to do so.
"In this great crisis no excuse should be accepted from any public servant of that kind. The very foundation of liberty is at stake and that failure of the enactment of this legislation into law at this time will bring disgrace, discontent, and anarchy into our country to take the place of liberty justice and the equal protection of the law."
ed a response in the hearts of Philadelphiaans, and both white and colored people have contributed to this worthy cause.

Not Purpose To Crush Haitian Republic
Washington, D. C. March 8th (Associated Negro Press)—Brigadier General John H. Russell, who becomes High Commissioner in Haiti, granted an interview to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, in which he declared:
"It is our purpose to take no portion of independence from Haiti, but to sympathetically suggest methods by which our government may be helpful in improving conditions there."
General Russell is a man past fifty with a high forehead, a full growth of gray hair, and black hair and smoot face. He is easy to talk with and seems perfectly frank. General Russell is a native of California, and a graduate of Annapolis, he has spent most of his time as a marine officer in foreign lands, including China. The General is married and has a married daughter living in the East. "It is very unfortunate that the people in the United States do not have full knowledge of what we have accomplished in Haiti and just what we hope to do there during the term of the treaty, which has thirteen more years to run," remarked General Russell. He then produced a set of blue print maps.

LINCOLN DAY AT REGISTER. GA.
(By N. H. Aftord)
The Alfred Public school, Register, Gn., celebrated Lincoln day on the third Sunday in Feb. 1922. The exercises were very interesting. The following program was rendered: Song, "American"; scripture reading, the 23rd Psalm the Lord's prayer in concert. The object of celebrating Lincoln's day by Principal; song, "Nearer My God to Thee. The following subjects were rendered "Lincoln's birthday" Miss by Daisy Hagn, 4th grade; "The Egyptians and the Children of Israel" Miss Margaret Orr, 6th grade; "Sketch of Lincoln's life," Willie S. Shaw, 6th grade; "Lincoln the Lord's Servant," Lois Orr, 6th grade; "Life Work, an exercise by eight blocks representing the following occupations, carpenter, Leeman Hendrix, 2nd grade; Doctor, Draetus Hendrix, 3rd grade; Editor, Wayman Roberts, 3rd grade; Lawyer, Lee Moore Roberts, 3rd grade; Farmer Luther Roberts, 3rd grade; Preacher, Cleverester Roberts, 2nd grade; Soldier, Prince Mikel 2nd grade; Captain, George Roberts, 2nd grade. This was followed by an exercise called "Freedom's greeting" by three little girls viz. Ira Belle Mikel, Ila Mae Roberts, Quess Roberts, "The Battle Hymn" Roxy Cobb, 4th grade; "Who was Lincoln?" John Whitehead. A. J. Shaw, "Mt. Olive Baptist church spoke in a very happy vein comparing Lincoln with Moses, both great emancipators. Mrs L. M. Cobb spoke words of encouragement to the children, advising regular Sunday school attendance. Deacon J. C. Cobb of the Alfred Congregational church, read the per capita expenditure for public school expenses in 18 states including the District of Columbia. "Georgia," said Mr. Cobb, "spends $10.09 per capita for each white pupil, and only $2.08 for each colored pupil or very uneven affair." At this junction, Evan Page came forward and spoke from actual experience of the cruelties of slavery, telling of secession and of Lincoln's successful efforts in saving the union. He spoke of Fort Sumpter's awful cannonade, the opening guns of the civil war. He spoke of how the timid slaves would turn down a pot in the middle of the house that it might prevent any one hearing the prayers for freedom, saving the Almighty God, who hears in secret as well as openly. It was an impressive sight, to see this sable ex-slab whose body is
WHITE COMMITTEE AT TUSKEEGEE
Prominent Alabamians
Address The School
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 8th
(Associated Keros Press)—75 members of the Campaign Committee on the $20,000,000 Drive for the Alabama Polytechnic Institute white, Auburn, Ala., headed by Dr. Spright Dowell, President of the Auburn Institution, visited Tuskegee Institute, last Wednesday. The delegation was composed of some of the leading business men of Alabama and the most distinguished alumni of Auburn, including General Robert Lee Bullard, who commanded a corps of the A. E. F. of which the 92nd Division was a part.
After the inspection tour, the visitors, the faculty and students were assembled in the Institute chapel. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, formally welcomed the delegation to the Institute; the choir sang and a few of the visitors spoke.
Among those who spoke were: C. F. Debardeleh, Birmingham, Chairman of the committee, who pointed out the deep impression which has been made upon him by the cleanliness and business methods of the institution, and declared that Tuskegee should be an inspiration to every Negro in the world. W. T. Sheeban, editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, related how he had seen the Institute grow from an insignificant institution to one of world fame. Dr. M. A. Brannon, Reloit, Wis, declared that the students of Tuskegee were preparing for a real solution of the race problem and General Robert Lee Bullard, praised the work of the Negro soldiers in 1961 and in the great world war and declared that Colonel Charles Young bore his rank with dignity wherever he went.
General Bullard who is a native Alabaman, was greeted with an outburst of applause and the audience stood at attention when he rose. He responded in part as follows:
"I had the good fortune to command the 3rd Ala. Regiment in '98, which was composed of colored soldiers. We did not go out of the state, but our reputation went. I have commanded three regiments of my own race, but not one of them so contributed to me as the Third Alabama. We had a hard time at Amstolst but those men proved their discipline down to the very limit. I commanded colored troops again in France. They contributed greatly to the pushing of things over there—very greatly."
I was with two of the Negro graduates of the Military Academy at West Point. Alexander was my friend. I admired him. He had that genuine independence that keeps the onward way without regard to what happened on the right or left. Colonel Charles Young, who did recently had that same genuine independence and he held up the dignity of his rank wherever he went.
JAPANESE PROBLEM
Negotiations Expected Between Two Governments
Los Angeles (Cal.) March 6th (Associated Negro Press)—The next big question between the United States and Japan to come to the forefront is the Japanese problem in California.
After Secretary of State Hughes returns from his vacation, negotiations are expected to be opened between the two governments on this question, and its collateral problem of Japanese immigration into the United States.
CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT
Hearing Continued Until Wednesday
March 23rd
Philadelphia, Pa., March 8th (Associated Negro Press)—The further hearings, set for the case against Charles H. Brooks, prominent Philadelphiaian, charged with embezzlement of funds of the Philadelphia Autumn Fair Association, set for Wednesday, the 15th before Magistrate Beaton has been continued until Wednesday the 23rd. It is said that efforts are being made to have the whole affair settled out of court. In this connection it is claimed that one of the most prominent prosecutors is willing to indict the charge for the purpose of effecting a settlement outside of court. On the other hand, others claim they will even take their case 'o another magistrate.

MARCH 9, 1922
Daddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, the Negro heavweight, is inordinately patient. He is in a class with Job.
Matching Wills against Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship of the world- is his big ambition. He believes in Wills; he is confident that the Negro can win the title if given a chance, and he is not unmindful of the money promise.
But for all this he remained quietly at home instead of shouting defiance from the housestops and issuing a blaring challenge to the champion on the strength of what Harry 'Wills did to Kid Norfolk in Madison Square Garden. In discussing his plans he said: 'We've waited long and we can wait a little longer. I may issue a formal challenge in a day or two on behalf of Wills, but even that may not be necessary. Dempsey has said that he will meet any man if the public demand is strong enough. I believe the bout will come in due time, because Wills is the logical man to face the champion and the only one who is more or less generally considered to have a reasonable chance.
"I think he can beat Dempsey and I honestly feel that I have no illusions in the matter. Wills is a clever boxer, has had plenty of experience and, in addition to being strong and rugged, is bigger and heavier than Dempsey. He can hit, too. That blow he landed on Norfolk's chin the second round did not travel more than eight inches and get it carried such power that it knocked Norfolk off his feet and landed him on his back.
"It seems to me that Wills showed enough against Norfolk to justify a bout with Dempsey for the title. So I'm waiting with as much patience as possible. Remember, too, that he knocked out Fred Fulton less than two years ago, and has not had a reverse in many a day."
"The man does not live whom Jack Dempsey is not willing, yes eager to fight."
So said the heavyweight champion at the Hippodrome, after his turn at the big playhouse.
"You can say for me," he declared in answer to questions concerning his immediate attitude toward possible challengers, and particularly Harry Wills, "that if there is a man in the world who can beat me in the ring he is entitled to the championship and I am not. Insumuch as I hold the championship I would be a poor sport if I began to draw color or racial lines against men who think they can beat me. So here I stand with the doors always open."
Dempsey again broke in at this point, saying: I want to tell you that I am ready for Mr. Wills. If you don't believe it, ask Dock." He always refers to Kearns as "Dock."

DR. E. C. MORRIS RESIGNS
AS PRESIDENT OF BOARD
[Little Rock, Ark., March 5th (Associated Negro Press)]—On account of ill health and other duties, Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., who has been president of the Trustee Board of the Arkansas Baptist College for 30 years resigned at the recent Board meeting held at Baptist Headquarters, Little Rock, Ark. Dr. Morris was one of the founders of the Arkansas Baptist College and its first President. He was succeeded by Dr. Lawton of Missouri, who was succeeded by Dr. Garnett, now of Gary, Indiana. The present President Dr. Jos A. Booker succeeded Dr. Garnett, and has been at the head of the school more than thirty
years. For the last few months, Dr. Morris has been all from overwork and the denomination feels that he should be relieved of some of the arduous burdens which he has been carrying so long. Dr. Morris has been President of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, the organization which owns and controls the College for forty years and President of the National Baptist Convention, the largest organized body of Negro people in the world for twenty seven years. He has pastored one church at Helena, Ark., for forty three years. He will most likely devote his time now to the work of this National Baptist Convention. It is not known whether he will retain his position at the head of the State Baptist Convention, but in all probability he will round out his Forty one years which will end in November of this year.

The minister has a great opportunity for service of the greatest value to the race when he joins in this movement for better common schools for the children of this state or any other state for that matter. When we realize that the great majority of any people stop their education in the common schools in the grades, we should do our best to have the common schools be the best that we can make them. This especially is true with our depressed people.
I further urge that the good people of the state elect a delegate upon this day, March 19th, and send said delegate to Columbus, Ga., to attend the annual convention that will convene upon the dates of April 19-22.
The work of the Association means very much for the present and coming generations. Let all of us support it.

SERVICE
JOHN H. KINCKLE, ESQUIRE
John H. Kinckle was a pioneer
among Negro lawyers of the south,
and his passing after more than
thirty years of continuous practice in
the courts of Savannah and the state
of Georgia, together with the wide
general practice which he enjoyed,
illustrates the splendid possibilities
in this line for colored men in the South.
He was well equipped in training for his work, and the members of the bar, black and white, are uniform in their acknowledgement of his ability and fitness. His early training in Virginia, his home state, had been good, giving him a good foundation for his later professional training at Howard University, from which he graduated more than thirty years ago.
The most significant and noteworthy thing in the life of Lawyer Kinckle is the fact that, although beginning in a field uncommon to colored men, at a time when such a thing was very unusual and when the atmosphere was unfavorable to the success of a colored man in this hard line, Mr. Kinckle, nevertheless, made a success of the practice of law. He maintained the respect of the attaches and officials of all the courts, and what is equally as praiseworthy, throughout the whole thirty years of his career here, he upheld the highest traditions of the law and the courts.
A WORTHY CAUSE
There may be, and, ofcourse, there is, suffering in certain sections of our community, which needs our assistance, but this is incomparable to the dire distress in which millions of Jews in Central and Eastern Europe now find themselves. Their plight is pitilable and thousands of them are said to be dying for the want of the necessities of life. These people are a part of the human family, not Jews, but as human beings, and the rest of the world which is enjoying the ordinary comforts of life, should lend them whatever assistance it can.
We note that a drive for one hundred million dollars has been started in this country for the alleviation of the suffering of these unfortunate people. It is a most worthy cause and should meet with instantaneous response from all citizens of America, both white and black. The fund is being raised in every section of our country and the committee which has charge of the drive here, is to make an intensive campaign for funds beginning on the twentieth and continuing through the last day of the month.
We realize that the stringency of the times precludes some of us giving as generously to this fund as we should like, but conditions are not tight that we cannot assist the cause as much as possible. It is not a question as to color, for suffering knows no color, creed or race, but it is a matter of helping to alleviate the dire condition of fellow human beings. We are told that it has been decades since such privations, misery and wholesale death has visited a people such as is being thrust upon the Jews of these parts of Europe which have been left destitute by the pillages of the greatest conflict of arms the world has ever known. It is said that these people are dying by the thousands every day because of a lack of the necessary food, medicines and other things which must be had for the sustenance of life.
Our suffering here in America is a mere plaything in comparison to the great privations which these people are undergoing. They are in dire need of help and no people are better situated to give this aid than America; truly the land of plenty. Every citizen who can should lend a helping hand to these starving people, it's our duty to do so.
GREATEST NEGRO COMEDIAN
In the death of Hert Williams last Saturday the Negro race lost its most widely known comedian. Williams career on the stage has for the past
fifteen years attracted unusual attention in the great theatrical centers of the north and middle west, and especially was this true during the past ten years of his life when he was showing almost exclusively in white productions. He was among the pioneer public entertainers of his class and from the very beginning he went "big" wherever he appeared, either in productions of his own people or in those in which he played with white companies.
He was, in fact, a star in every sense of the word and throughout his quarter of a century before the public he has been a credit to his race. The successes which attended his early efforts before the footlights were but stepping stones to greater triumphs and long before he answered the last call at his home in New York City he had achieved the highest heights of his profession.
Because of his great popularity among theatre goers, he was able to command a weekly salary which ran into four figures and, during the past few years, royalties from his phonographic records have greatly supplemented his weekly earnings. It is stated that during the last few months his earnings from this latter source amounted to more than ten thousand dollars a month. But this rise to affluence did not seem to overbalance him, did not turn his head—a fact which cannot be said of all performers before the footlights, who have made small-sized fortunes out of their profession. He is said to have carefully invested his earnings and to have lived within his means, and now his heirs are possessed of a fortune which will enable them to live in ease and comfort.
Bert Williams was, indeed, as clever in other things as he was in entertaining the public and now that he has "passed over the river" his memory will be greatly cherished. He was a credit to his profession, a credit to his race. He has set an example which others in his profession, and those in other lines as well, who are meeting with success may well emulate.
Whence they came—wither are they bound—"Our Set?" Who are they—of what kindred—"Our Set?" Are they the salt of the earth—the common people, or are they of the gay capricious, empty-minded bubbling throng who object to being classed with the common people?
Seriously the counterfelt caste of "Set" that is being created among us is becoming more ludicrous every day. There are "Sets" made up of the following composition: One elastic conscience, a large lump of audacity, a dash of humor and a pinch of deception. These "Sets" abound everywhere.
But were all "Sets" thus composed, the condition of things racial might not be vitally affected. But a number of "The Sets" have even drawn their lines closer than the average. They persistently and doggedly cling to the belief that, after all, the common people—who work at whatever their hands find to do—are less than the dregs of humanity, and their association with them in any capacity will contaminate the purity of "The Set." This is a time for speaking and writing—especially so when we are directing the message to the children of our common father's house.
We feel that it is incumbent upon the sombre-hued Americans to become obsessed with a spirit of oneness in order that the solidarity which inevitably follows might be used to best advantage in his economic struggle for a place in the sun.
Unwarily, we have stumbled into "Sets"—even in towns where one would imagine that the, few scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia had not caught the spirit of up-to-the-minute city folk. And in hamlets, too we find—if not "the Set"—the talk about "Set."
Have you, dear readers, ever seen children who apaprentely have nothing in common, hold themselves loftily aloof from each other, until the spirit of play swirled them together in a joyous democracy? Have you not enjoyed the sight?
Is it not, therefore, meet for us grown folk to catch the democracy of children and let the spirit of racial co-operation swirl all our "Sets" into a joyous working throng?—Cleveland Advocate.
WHO'LL TAKE YOUR JOB
The water that turns the mill today will turn it no more, says the philosopher. What he meant is that opportunity, once lost seldom if ever returns. There is no recurrence of opportunities lost or neglected. And opportunities are costly things. It often takes half of the life time of the father to make opportunity for his son. Often a whole life is spent by one to make opportunity for another Opportunities are developed; they

ing years. What do they know of the long years of labor spent by their fathers in creating a place for themselves in the great crowd of bread-winners?
Our young men must be taught that jobs are for real men. They must learn to place the proper valuation upon the opportunity to earn the daily bread. Frivolity, carelessness, laziness and indifference will never qualify any young man to succeed to the place held by his father. The reputation of the father is not handed down as an heirloom to the son. The son must make his own place, and having made it, he must hold it on his merit. Just the other day, Congress decided to continue the law against admitting more allens into this country for another year. Here is another opportunity for our young men of today. Find a place now, and make yourself so necessary to the business that no man will be able to supplant you. Get ready to take your father's job, or, if possible, make a job for yourself. It is yours today, but on tomorrow, there will arise another generation. What have you to hand down to the job-hunters of tomorrow?—Courler.
MRS HAMMOND'S SERVICE
A recent news item made clear the point that the work of the Southern Publicity Committee has come to an end. Then there followed the statement: "The Southern Publicity Committee was organized four years ago to acquaint the Southern public with what the white South is doing, in many places and along various lines, to promote inter-racial justice and good will and to co-operate with the better class of Negroes to help the less fortunate members of their race. * * Those who have heretofore provided the funds for the work of the Southern Publicity Committee have decided that better results can now be obtained if these funds are added to the publicity department of the Inter-racial Commission."
Thinking men and women, regardless of race, who are aware of the power of the press in forming American public opinion, should extend at this time to Mrs. John D. Hammond, secretary of the committee, their heartiest thanks for her intelligent Christian service, because in the last analysis, the work of the Southern Publicity Committee, with its wonderworking effects in helping to bring two races to an appreciation of the best in both groups, was simply the lengthen-shadow of this upstanding, brave, Southern white woman, whose understanding mind, sympathetic heart, and fuelle pen brought light where there had been darkness, gave courage to faint-hearted, discouraged men and women, and called into action, for the upbuilding of God's kingdom on earth, the latent powers of thousands of Southern white and colored citizens.
What are some of the facts in Mrs. Hammond's epoch-making service to the South and to the Nation? Mrs. Hammond sent out twice each month to 4,000 individuals her news-releases—accurate, timely, interesting reports or constructive race-relations work. These news-items were published in strategic and wildly scattered white and colored papers—100 daily papers, 600 county weeklies, 50 colored papers, and 50 religious papers. She sent her material to 700 school officers, association workers, and others who helped to make public opinion, and to 400 other men and women who are or should be community leaders in the work of improving race relations.
That Mrs. Hammond's carefully prepared and tactfully presented material was gladly and freely used by white and colored editors, there can be no question to anybody who has studied patiently and persistently the papers of the South during the past four years. No statistical proof, of course, could be given of this venture in educational publicity of the highest type, because there are no physical means at present, on account of the lack of funds, of assembling in one place all the printed matter on one subject. The success with which the work of the present Inter-racial Commission is meeting is surely due, in a considerable measure, to Mrs. Hammond's pioneer work.
Some time ago Mrs. Hammond said: "I try, in doing my work—everything I have ever tried to do for others, all
my life—not to think of myself any more than I can help and not to think of results, but to meet the need and try to meet it as I can, and then leave everything to God, who alone can give the increase." This type of unselfishness and reliance on God to bring results after men and women have done their very best work, is worthy of emulation.
Mrs. Hammond to-day is beloved by white and colored people alike for her willingness to face honestly conditions as they are and for her ability to write forcefully the message of the passing hour. Mrs. Hammond believes that good outweighs evil; that white people and colored people can and will co-operate more and more freely; and that interracial good will can be cultivated.—Southern Workman.
One Of The Great Women-Of Georgia
Mrs. Geo. S. Williams who has been visiting friends and relatives in New York returned home Sunday February 12th. Her many friends and acquaintances wish her a pleasant trip. Mrs. Williams is noted for her great work in National and State politics and her general assistance in up-lift work. She is president of the Federation of women in the State of Georgia and maintains the confidence as a leader for the great things in national and local affairs. She is a practical business woman, and enjoys the highest esteem as being a successful operator in Georgia and maintains much wealth. On her stay in New York and viewing the possibilities of the opportunity of her usefulness in New York she has decided to divide her time between New York and Georgia and has arranged to become one of the property owners of a beautiful mansion located in the best part of the city of New York. New York welcomes Mrs. Williams and her friends in its field of prosperity. The success of Mrs. Williams is assured.—The Business World—New York City.

The operetta was well received by a large audience. The parts were well played and the singing was bright and catchy. While every bit of it was good the part played by Oscar Bell was immi- titable.
In addition to the operetta there will be a pageant by pupils under the direction of Miss Robertson of the Curler street school and a chorus by children from the West Broad street school.

Body Addressed By Superintendent Carl B. Gibson
The teachers of Chatham County held a public meeting Monday night at the First Bryan Baptist church. The meeting which was largely attended was a very interesting one. Among the principal speakers was Superintendent Carlton B. Gibson. Mr. Otto truant officer, also addressed the gathering. The main address was to have been delivered by the Rev. Arnold E. Gregory of the First Congregational church, but owing to the lateness of the hour he was compelled to make only a few remarks, which, however, were very appropriate.
The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Geo. W. Smith, chairman of the Parent Teachers Association, Chatham County. Mrs. W. G. Hill, president of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs spoke in behalf of the free clinic being conducted by the federation.
Surprise Patry For Mrs. Dixon
Mrs. C. G. Wiley gave a surprise birthday party in honor of her mother, Mrs. I. M. Dixon, Feb. 28, from 6 till 8 o'clock. The spacious home of Press, and Mrs. C. G Wiley was a merry scene for those who witnessed this lovely occasion. It was as an evening spent in the movies to hear how the surprise party was planned, the many little incidents occurring that almost gave the plans away and the long drive with Mrs. J. D. Derrick for getting her away from home while preparations were being made and the guests were arriving. The guests having arrived and everything in readiness Mrs. Derrick brought Mrs. Dixon home. They were met by Miss Coston who ushered them in through the hall to the dining room whereupon seeing the table beautifully decorated and glancing in the parlor at the ladies sitting quietly waiting for her she was almost overcome with joy and surprise. Mrs. Dixon soon composed herself and entered into the spirit of the occasion which as she expressed it "The greatest Time of My Life" A lovely musical program was rendered Miss Valeria Boatwright sang The Rosary, Danny Boy, and Mammy; Mrs. Tibbs sang Somewhere A Voice is Calling; Misses Bessie Flipper and Maurice Cobb rendered instrumental solos. The G. S. I. C. quartet delighted us with many beautiful selections. After this the guests were invited into the dining room where a delightful repast consisting of chicken salad, rolls ice cream and cake were served. At each place was a beautiful little souvenir basket filled with mints. The color scheme was pink and white and was tastefully carried out in all the decorations and refreshments. The table was centered with a jar of white hyacinths a favorite flower of Mrs. Dixon and a gift from her daughter. Many beautiful expressions and toasts were made by the ladies to which Mrs. Dixon in a very appropriate manner responded and expressed thanks for the beautiful tokens. Those present were Mrs. A. M. Blount, Mrs. M. Williams, Mrs. Howard Jackson, Mrs W Orsot, Mrs R. M. Cooper, Mrs P. S. Moore, Mrs C. F. Filippe, Mrs W E. Tibbs, Mrs J. W. Derrick, Mrs I. C. Misson, Mrs R. Lester, Miss I.

HARMONIZE IN HABIONY
(By Geo. W. Williams)
Modern music is the life of the people, as music is used in every path of life; no matter where you may be you will expect music — don't mean altogether an instrument, but it can be vocal music. Music is a language in sounds, expressing feeling or mood—the kind of thought which cannot be put into words. The sounds are heard in succession as melody and together as harmony and harmony is what the public needs, as no kind of melody will exist without good harmony.
The coming season's success depends entirely upon an orchestra, composed of musicians who can harmonize thoroughly.

HARKIS—In cherished memory of my dearly beloved father, Alexander A. Harris, who departed this life March 10th, 1917.
There is a link death cannot sever, Love and remembrance live forever.
Loving daughter, Miss Grace Harris, Summit, N. J.
SKIPPER—In sad but loving memory of our beloved son and brother Fredlie B. Skipper, who departed this life March 9, 1921.
One year has passed since that sad morning.
When one we loved was called away
God called him home, it was His will
But in our hearts we love him still
While we travel here below
By and by we hope to meet thee
In the sweet land of rest
Mrs. Henry Skipper, mother
Mr. Hazel L. Skipper
Misses Veranese, Leah, Belle
Skipper, sisters
Mrs. L. Dorn, Grandmother.
LEWIS—In memory of Mrs. Laura
Lewis who was born 1874 July 4.
Macon, Ga. died 1921 March 12 Savannah, Ga.
So full of meanings are the words
that make my narrow home bound in
by walls of earth.
Long years I lived, life's cup filled full to overflowing measure was given me to drink.
The deepest ties of life were surredered as loved ones passed away to join those gone before.
In my heart and life I cherished two dear gifts from god. Though adversity took its toll and the road was hard times, God helped me and I kept the faith. That in HIs own appointed time. While hidden from our earthly sight, all things will work for good.
In evergreen the tall odars and furs as silent centinels, their ceaseless vigil keep over other homes than mine.
Though distant far from laural grove and old Mt. Zion churchyard.
Those I call mine will meet me at the judgment bar of God.
Son and daughter-in-law. Mr
and Mrs. Chas Lambart
Sister and brother-in-law. Mr
and Mrs. Joseph Price
Sister and brother-in-law. Mr
and Mrs. Henry Perry.
SMALL—In loving remembrance of
my dear mother, Diten Small, who departed this life 22 years ago March
8th 1900.
She wore a crown of patience through the years she struggled on those hands that rest forever are the hands that made our home. The dear one now is sleeping, no care is on her brow; oh blame me not for weeping, for I have no mother now. Some may think I forgot you, though: on earth you are no more; but in memory you are with me, as you always were before. On the hillside sweetly sleeping far away from sin and care, keep her Jesus in thy kingdom for some day we will meet her there. Sleep on dear and take thy rest. God called you home. He knew it best—a modest two-DAN was so great He opened wide the golden gates.
Her loving daughter, Minnie Teller
Grandson, Cecil Telley, of Balti more, Mk.
HOSEA GREEN PASSES AWAY
Hosen Green, one of the best known citizensphere and in former years an active worker In the community, died on Monday morning at the residence of his son, Eugene Green, 796 Walburg street, east, after an illness of long duration.
Mr. Green was born in Savannah fifty-eight years ago and lived here all of his life up to some years ago when he moved to New York. After failing in health he came back to the city a few years ago and remained here up to the time of his death. Mr. Green was a descendent of one of the oldest families of Savannah and was a brother of the late Samuel Green and Jesse Green
He was among the first colored man to conduct an ice cream and confectionary business here and at the time had a first class parlor in the Masonic Temple, ground floor. He was one of the oldest deacons in point of service of the First Bryan Baptist church and was belored by the members of that congregation as well as many other citizens of the older set.
The funeral services were held this afternoon from the church and were attended by a large crowd. The many floral designs and the expressions of sympathy at his death were evidences of the popularity of the deceased in the community. Rev. Daniel Wright, pastor of the church, officiated. He is survived by three sons, Henry C. Greene of Washington. D. C., James B. and Eugene Greene; three grand children, two nieces, Mrs. Marie E Lockley, of Chester, Pa.; and Mrs. Marguerite G. Fleming; three daughters in law, a nephew, a sister in law,
Mrs. Mamie F. Greene, and other relatives. He was a member of Crescent Lodge K. of P., which organization attended the funeral in a body.
Mrs. Alice Stevens died Thursday morning at 1 o'clock at the home of her son, Thomas Stevens, 462 Montgomery street. She leaves to mourn her loss two sons, Johnnie Stevens, Thos. Stevens, and one daughter, Mrs. Annie Stevens.

Harlem Business Man, Returning From Extensive Trip Yields to Interview
New York City, March 8th-O. L. Saunders, on his return from an extensive trip South Monday, February 20, said to a representative of the N. Y. Amsterdam News:
"While touring the Southern States I made a close study of the activities of all the Negro business centers meeting and conferring with men who have become the octopus of the race. I received a very cordial welcome from all, meeting Counselor J. G. Lemon, who introduced me to some of the prominent business men of the city, who under the conservative management of L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Bank, aided and backed by representative men. Through the ability of the bankers, lawyers, doctors, educators, successful business men have created in the center of American nation a new South for the new Negro, who have illuminated the triumphant trail of progress. The great pillars of a monument that is being erected, are such men as L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Bank; Sol C. Johnson, Vice president of bank and editor and publisher of Savannah Tribune; T. M. Holly, merchant and director of Wage Earners Bank; Secretary E. C. Blackshear, assistant vender and director; J. C. Calhoun, assistant secretary; R. A. Harper, counselor, G. H. Bowen, the strongest real estate man in the State. If not in the South; A. B. Singfield, State Supt. of Pilgrim H. and L. Ins. Co.; Dr. H. M. Collier, physician and director; Dan Simmons, owner of one of the largest mattress factories. They have in appropriation approximately more than $3,000,000, with depositors numbering 20,000. I was also a visitor at the G. S. I. College at the invitation of President C. G. Wiley, and was in attendance at the Farmers' Conference which was in session. The men who are at the head of the many industrial colleges and schools through out the South carrying on the great work of which the late and lamented Booker T. Washington stand as a monument to his life's activities. In visiting the rural sections we are brought face to face with the farmer, who has in a great measure interpreted the 'theories' and 'practice' of our late educator. I find not only Georgia but in other States of the South, a great commercial business is being carried on. In the cities of Savannah, Jacksonville and Atlanta, where corporations are financed by Negroes, embracing millions of dollars. I saw mayive structures, viz. banks, theatres, stores, hall, factories, built of iron and stone, fenanted by Negro business of every known financial and commercial nature, and the beautiful palatial homes owned by the Negroes of the South. The progress of the Southern Negro has greatly and steadily disarmed the Southern white man of that antagonism of hate and prejudice that for years has been a menace to his progress."—Amsterdam News, New York.

FOR MURDER. OF NEGRO
Texarkana, Tex., March 5th (Associated Negro Press)-Deputy Sheriff W. T. Jordan was arrested today following indictment for murder by the Bowle County grand jury in connection with the killing of P. Norman, a colored man, found shot to death two and one half miles from here recently. Jordan voluntarily surrendered when he heard a warrant for his arrest had been issued. He was later released under $3,000 bond. On February 11, Jordan went to Ashdown, Ark., to bring Norman to Texarkana. That night Jordan reported to Sheriff G. A. Richardson and Diet. Attorney Wheeler, masked men had taken the Negro from him. Next morning Norman's body, containing four bullet wounds, was found on a country road. It is said the Negro attempted to defend himself and was killed. The circumstances were suspicious enough to cause Jordan's arrest.

NOT DISTURBED BY
NEWSPAPER CONTROVERSY Washington, D. C., March 8th (Associated Negro Press)—Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, Lua informed the Associated Negro Press that he is not disturbed by the newspaper controversy going on concerning him and his relationship with national politics.
"As a member of the National Committee, I cannot denounce the Administration and remain a member of the committee. I am remaining a member of the Committee as a matter of principle. It is an open secret that I could be extended flattering political favors were I willing to resign from the committee. I have not been asked to resign from the committee, and do not intend to resign.
"I am of the opinion that our political troubles can be worked out to a better advantage within the Republican party than without it. All others are entitled to their personal opinions." "President Harding has closed the first year of his administration. There are some things that have pleased us, and some that have not. We have been very frank in letting the President know that certain policies are not to our liking; and he has given us respectful hearing at all times. If we continue our drive within the party, there is still hope that eventual everything will work out all right.
"There comes times when we must look at matters in the broad light of Americans; and we must remember that we are not the only ones who have troubles." In being patient, we must not let up in being thisistent for the right; we must use unselfish judgment, yet determined.
"To my people everywhere I send greetings, and assure them of my continued devotion to their best interests"

BILL TO COMPELL STUDY
CONSTITUTION OF
CONSTITUTION OF U. S.
New York, N. X., Mar. 8th (Associated Negro Press)—A campaign to have the legislature of every state pass a bill requiring regular courses of study in the Constitution of the United States in private and public schools, colleges and universities has been started by the National Security League, it was announced last week. The movement is being promoted through a committee on constitutional instruction, with membership of more than 200 of the country's leading educators.
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Vermont have such a law, the league's statement said, and as the legislatures of only six states are in session at present, it is not expected that the bill could be placed on the statute books of all states for several years.

Great Comedian Attained High Standing
New York, March 6—The body of
Erbert, Austin (Bert) Williams, Negro comedian, layed in state Tuesday
and Wednesday. Expressions of sympathy as well as telephone and telegraph messages in tribute to his memory were received by scores at his home, No. 2309 Seventh Avenue.
Many members of the theatrical profession requested an opportunity personally to pay their last respects to the memory of the popular entertainer who died at his home last Saturday
The family service will be at 12:30 night of pneumonia. It has been arranged to hold two separate funeral ceremonies.

Bert Williams, whose doll songs and monologues have made his name known throughout the English speaking world in the last thirty years, had been brought from Detroit after suffering an attack of pneumonia while on tour in his play, "Under the Bamboo Tree."
With Williams when he died were his wife, Mrs. Lottle Williams and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Williams, both of whom had returned with him from the West.
After a collapse on the stage of the theatre in Detroit last Monday, physicians announced the only hope for his life lay in a speedy blood transfusion operation. Dr. H. C. DeV Cornwell performed the operation last Tuesday. William Vocery, a business partner of the actor, gave his blood. The response was inadequate, and Thursday hope for saying his life was abandoned.
It is probable that no other Negro performer, of the stage attained so high a standing, professionally and personally, as Williams. He was forty-five years old at his death, and since entering upon stage work as a boy he had appeared in Negro and white companies alike, in many of the regular Broadway productions, including the Ziegfeld "Follies" and "Midnight Follie" his name being featured among the principal members of the casts:
It was as a variety performer and strolling singer in his native West Indies and in this country that Williams, son of a poor Negro family of farmers, first found his ability to mimic and sing. He was brought to New York at an early age, and was quickly engaged by theatrical producers who, in turn, placed him at the head of Negro and white troups. His first real success here came in the team of Williams and Walker, a combination that existed for more than fifteen years. Walker died in 1911.
It is likely that the pinnacle of his success came in 1910 and 1911 when Williams had leading comedian parts in Ziegfield productions at the New Amsterdam. He appeared last year at the Winter Garden in the Shuberts "Broadway Brevities."
Williams is said to have left a fortune to his widow, made from his legitimate parts in his shows of the past ten years and from his records. It is estimated that the sale of his records amounts to $4,000 a week. For the past two years it is said that his salary in the various productions was $1,000 a week.
NEGRO PREACHER DRIVEN FROM WINDER, GA
verbal statements while responding to frequent questions by the Governor; the story he told is fairly well covered in the following written statement which he filed:
"They came to a colored man's home by the name of Oscar Bergamg, where I, Rev. Henningham, was giving him elementary training, about 8 o'clock p.m. March 6, 1922. Seized me without a moment's warning, dragged me from the house, bearheaded and placed me in an automobile and drove about ten miles toward Galnesville, Ga. While on the way I asked them what I had done to be punished and they answered by holding pistols on me and slapping me in the face: 'We will tell you what you have done; your damned Catholic bishop came here preaching Catholicism and got away before we could get him. Then he sent you here with your Catholic doctrine, educating these damned Negroes and making them worse. When we get through with you, your bishop nor no one else will come here preaching that damned Catholic stuff."
"When they reached about the ten milly point, they took me out of the and mobile and carried me into the woods and stripped me of my pants and placed me over a log and beat me
CONCERT TRIO
HERE MARCH 22
Johnson, Taylor, Johnson At Beach Inst.
The Johnson, Taylor and Johnson musical trio, of Chicago, will appear here Wednesday night, March 22, at the Beach auditorium, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of the First Congregational church. It will be recalled that this trio appeared here last year at the Catholic hall at which time their program was, beyond a doubt, the best that Savannah had heard in many years.
The members of this trio are artists o the first degree and wherever they have appeared they have been most highly praised. Their present Southern tour is meeting with great success and they are having packed houses. It will probably be the highest class performance heard here this season and all lovers of standard high class music should avail themselves of this opportunity of hearing them.
Newspaper accounts of this trio's triumphs have been very praiseworthy one of which appeared in the Daily Newport is in part as follows:
Last evening, in the pleasant auditorium of Mt. 'Zion A. M. E. chrch a very enjoyable concert was given by the Johnson-Taylor-Johnson Concert Trio of Chicago.
This trio is composed of three musicians of much more than ordinary talent. Marie Peek Johnson, soprano, George Leon Johnson, tenor and T. Theo. Taylor, pianist.
Mrs. Johnson has a fine soprano voice of good compass and she sings with ease and very expressively. Her rendering of Burleigh's two spirituals "Deep River" and "I Stood on de Ribber of Jorden" were impressive and she gave a most acceptable rendering or War's "Sunlight" with the waltz-like rytem.
Mr. Johnson's voice is of real tenor quality, clear and resonant. His singing of "O, Heart of Mine," was beautiful and all his other numbers were exceptionally well done.
Mr. Taylor both as a soloist and accompanist showed an intelligent and technique that were entirely adequate to the requirement. That he played an upright piano was a handicap but one that his ability enabled him to go far toward overcoming.
with something like a leather strap until one of them said that was enough. Then they made me get up and told me to run and not look back or they would shoot me dead.
"They told me never to be seen at Winder anymore, if so, they would kill me.
"I was compelled to walk eight miles back to the home of one of my members through a heavy rainstorm, hare-headed. They rolbed me of the money I had, which was $9.75 and took my clergy book, my testament and other articles.
"On March 7, 1922, I went to some of my members and they raised money to help me get out of Winder.
"I am a Methodist and know but very little about any other doctrine, and have had no cause to preach Catholicism to my people. No one, white or colored, in Winder can testify that I have ever done a thing of the kind since I have been pastoring there. I feel that it is the greatest outrage ever perpetrated on my life."
"I am from the British West Indies, Island of Kingston, Jamaica. (Signed) "B. N. Henningham," Henningham told the overnor he went from Rome to Winder in November, preaching his first sermon the first Sunday in December. Since that time, he had gotten a lot from one of the prominent white men of the town and on it was building a stone church for his congregation. He knows nothing about the Catholic church, he said and have never been in one more than twice in his life. He has never had any trouble with white people anywhere before, and the 'elementary training,' referred to which he was giving the Negro barber, Oscar Bergamy, was spelling, arithmetic, grammar and like studies, merely in an effort to help him improve himself.
The men who attacked him, he said, were not dressed in gowns, but all wore overalls of the same kind, and each wore a mask over his face, some of the masks were white and others blue. He readily recognized they were white men from the flesh he could see through the holes around the eyes, and from the hands of the men, which were uncovered. It would be impossible, he said, for him to identify any of them, because of the fact that they were so completely and successfully disguised. Direction has been given by Governor Hardwick that the matter must be just as completely probed as is possible, and every means at command must be used to identify the men in the attacking party.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1922
Wishes to announce to the public that the books are now open for reservations for the coming season. Information cheerfully given by calling at
tary, entering his large, public office for his noonday interviews, greeted us across the room and proceeded one by one to dispose of his visitors. At last he came to us.
I said, "Mr. Secretary, I have the honor to introduce and present Colonel Charles Young."
The Secretary stepped back a bit and said, "Are you Colonel Young? I am pleased to meet you."
There was a hearty handclasp and the two men gazed intently into each other's eyes. An informal discussion followed as to the efforts which had been made to have Colonel Young restored to active service. The Special Assistant called attention to the horseback ride which Colonel Young had just made from Ohio to Washington. The Secretary said:
"Colonel Young, in case it is possible to restore you to active service it is your desire for combatant or non-combatant service."
The doughy colonel, with eyes flashing and head erect snapped his heels together and clicking his jaws, replied:
The interview was. at an end. The Secretary promised that he would give careful consideration to all of the representations which had been made in the colonel's behalf. Shortly afterward the following order, a copy of which was brought to my office, was issued by the War Department:
The Secretary directs as necessary in the military service that you proceed to Camp Grant, Rockford, IL, and report in person to the commanding general of that camp for assignment to duty in connection with the Colored Development Battalions at Camp Grant.
The colonel's request for "combatant service" was not complied with. He was, however, restored to active service." The military machine was still powerful enough to keep him from being sent to France. III was not powerful enough, however, to prevent his being called to render service of a most important character at Camp Grant where he was assigned to duty.
One word more. I have in my possession a letter (copy of which I forwarded to Colonel Young) from the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, written early in 1917, in which he stated that it was his desire, in case he should be permitted by the War Department to organize a division of troops that there should be two colored regiments, one of which he desired should be commanded by Colonel Young and the other by a Southerner of character and distinction.
So closes the chapter. The knightly soul whose memory is cherished and honored won and held the confidence, the good will and admiration of knightly souls like himself. He was indeed the Beau Sabreur of his race.

COMING!
The public is receiving the benefit of a good vaudeville bill at the Pekin theatre this week. Each act is doing its utmost to put it over. Richardson and Davis mops up in their singing and dancing act. They stopped the show several times during the performance. Sweette and Barney, the sister act, are indeed very clever in their singing and dancing and talking. The jokes they pull are pleasing as well as funny and their costumes are very beautiful. Ruffin and Hughes strut their stuff in their bit of breezy comedy and produce many laughs.
Then comes the Death Defying Genesta, in his escape from a barrel of water. The lid of the barrel is composed of a twelve inch square cut out and fitted with clasps and hinges and all is secure with a monster padlock. Genesta, is handcuffed and locked in the barrel and escapes in a half minute.
Professor Hammon, the man with the master mind also presents Princess Garnett, the girl who sees all, knows all and tells all. It is indeed very mystifying and puzzling to hear Princess Gernett determine and tell the things asked her by Prof. Hammon. The Darktown Bazar, an all-star vaudeville review with Tucker and Gresham will appear at the Pekin next week. Allen and Stokes, Savannah's favorites well known of the 'Phool and his Fiddel.' Williams and Alexander, live wire comedy and eccentric dancers and others. A clean cut classy show from start to finish with melody music and mirth. An extraordinary engagement, for one week only. Program changes Thursday.
DUNBAR... THEATRE
Next week, Monday and Tuesday will be shown "Humoresque" this is unquestionably the most talked of feature of the last decade. The strong appeal of the picture lies not in the sectional appeal, but in its overwhelming presentation of the universal appeal of mother love. You have seen "The Old Nest" and "Why Girls Leave Home" now see "Humoresque"
50 Voice Chorus, Piano and Violin
Fannle $ ^{1} $ Hurst's greatest story Humoresque," has been adapted to the screen and will be shown at the Dunbar Theatre during the latter part of the week. It is a tale of youthful genius and mother-love, with the scene laid chiefly in New York's Ghetto and Fifth avenue. Miss Hurst, as is well-known, is right at home in portraying with a realistic touch the characters of New York's humbler inhabitants, and "Humoresque" is said to contain intense heart-appeal. Humor and pathos are deftly mingled in the picture.
Thousands packed the theatres wherever this wonderful picture is shown and millions have been inspired and made better by its great heartthrobs. Can any one afford to loose this splendid pleasure, when it only costs fifteen cents. All other theatres have charged an admission of from fifty cents to one dollar. The Dunbar is the poor man's theatre and shows the best pictures made, the same pictures which are shown at the Laus Theatre for 50 cents. We want five thousand people to see Numérique.
A great feature never attempted before is the singing of the big fifty voice chorus accompanied by violin and piano at intervals during the entire show. Let the children come, let the mothers and fathers come Tuesday March 14th at the popular Dunbar.

stance," said the marine officer. When we first went to Haiti, roads throughout the republic were practically unknown. There were trails, to be sure, but wagons or automobiles could not use them."
Pointing, with the index finger, he continued, "We have made these roads and we are going to continue. Just before I returned to the United States, I accompanied the President of Haiti on a long trip back into the interior and it was the first time he had ever been back there. Where it took days to go from one portion of the island around, to the other, by boats; by the roads, we have been able to greatly shorten the time of travel.
"We have been able to make it safe for the peasant population to go to the villages for marketing, and have made the gendarme a force of which all are proud.
"There may have been some things to criticise, but there has undoubtedly been much exaggeration of the facts. While the other people have been distributing their propaganda, we have been unable to get our side of the story properly before the American people. "It is our desire to recall be of service to the people of Haiti; in the development of schools, hospitals, agriculture and commerce. We are interested in all the people of Haiti, but we are especially interested in being helpful to the masses.
"I join with Senator McCormick in the wish that right thinking colored Americans who grasp the vision of our program, will co-operate with us to the fullest in bringing about concrete results. We recognize the fact that the psychology of the Haitians is largely French, which is somewhat different from ours. But I think when we are understood, we will be able to accomplish many things worth while."
General Russell expects to leave for Haiti to assume the responsibility of his new office in a few days. He expects to don civilian clothes during his term of office.
