MORRIS, HEAD BAPTISTS, PA AT H MANY FROM GEORGIA, WILL ATTEND FUNERAL Little Rock, Ark, Sept 5—In the death of Rev. Elias Camp Morris, D. D., which occurred today at Helena, Arkansas, the race lost one of its strongest advocates, and a same and safe leader. He was the recognized leader of the Baptists of the world and was considered authority on matters pertaining to the race or denomination. Twenty-eight years ago he was elected president of the National Baptist convention, one of the largest religious organizations in the world, and was elected each year since, and thus rendering 28 years consecutive years at the head of that great convention, and perhaps would have been in the convention at the time of his death, had the meeting not been postponed on account of the strike. Under his leadership the National Baptist Publishing Board was organized, and a publishing house established located in Nashville, Tennessee. This plant was brought into life at the National Baptist convention held in St. Louis, September 1806, by the election of a secretary. Recently it was necessary to make some changes, and Dr. A. M. Townsend is now secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board, and Dr. Morris assisted in securing the new location, and lived to see started the new plant now under construction to cost $200,000. It was his desire that the plant be erected and owned, controlled and directed by the National Baptist Convention. Altho he has gone the work will be pushed and completed. There have been many improvements made in the operation of the National Baptist Convention and the several boards. The establishment of the National Voice was another accomplishment under his administration. The Voice is the official organ of the National Baptist Convention, and has a wide circulation throughout the country. The Home and Foreign Mission work would perhaps shine out as the greatest missionary achievement under his administration as president of the convention. For the past thirty years the convention has owned a number (Continued on Page Light) 1 The Savannah Tribune. Human Left Hand Sent To Randolph NEGRO EDITOR TOLD TO BE CAREFUL New York, Sept. 5—A package containing the human left hand, evidently that of a white man and a letter signed "K. K. K." threatening murder, was received today by A. Philip Randolph editor of a Negro monthly magazine, "The Messenger". The package which bore a wrapper marked "from a friend" New Orleans was opened by the police. The letter warned Randolph to keep out of white men's movements and to unite with his own race. Randolph said he believed it was sent by his enemies in the South and that it referred to a recent controversy between himself and Marcus Garvey, president of the provincial republic of Africa and editor of "The Negro World." After telling Randolph that his movements had been watched, the author of the letter warns him against interfering with anything that may happen in the South. It concludes: "Now be careful how you publish this letter in your magazine or we may have to send your hand to someone else. Don't think we can't get you and your crowd. Although you are in New York city, it is just as easy as if you were in Georgia. If you cannot unite with your own race, we will find out what's the matter with you all." Omaha, Neb, Sept 3—When Dr. A. L. Hawkins of the City asked Policeman Joseph Zach, white, to have the car moved which was parked in front of his so that he could drive his own car away, the policeman became insulted and arrested the doctor. When Dr. Hawkins made his request of the policeman, the copper answered that he was a cop and not a porter. He also declared that he was tired "of seeing colored folks with stiff collars trying to run the town". When the case came up in court the doctor was charged with interfering with an officer of the law. At the trial the doctor was discharged and the policeman received a severe repulmand. SAVANNAH. G.A.. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 1922 HARDING'S POLICY HAS FAILED Southern Attitude Fails To-Get Results Washington D. C., Sept. 5—(Associated Negro Press—The so called "Southern Policy" that has caused such widespread disfavor among voters in the Harding administration, it is the stated with high authority, has "Been weighed in the balance and found wanting." Never in favor with practical politicians of the administration, there is every reason to believe that the President has been convinced of the folly in trying to make a strictly "lily white" party in the South, and will soon express this viewpoint by naming one or more colored men to places in the South. In a quiet way, there has been recently quite a little progress in appointments. As a matter of cold fact, no one need be surprised to hear of a remarkable displacement in a high federal office soon, and the final naming of several men to places, and one of them is likely to be Charles A. Cottril of Toledo. There has never been in the history of American politics, a more disgruntled group o f fettizens, scores of whom take no active part in the practical game of politics, that would make one's hair stand up. How are these people, and their friends going to vote this fall? That is the big question before the country. The failure of the United States Senate to make a motion to consider the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill prior to the election, will have a further disquieting effect upon the voters. More than appointments, more than the personal attitude of President Harding on the race question, comes the unqualified and universal desire of colored Americans from one end of the country to the other to see immediate action on the anti-lynching bill. COLORED BOYS MAKE RESCUE Chicago 11, Sept. 4—Two 10 year old colored boys braved a heavy sex last Tuesday night and swam for more than 300 yards to the rescue of a white boy caught in the undertow at the 224th street beach. The boy rescues are Brewer McGee, and John Ransfer. The rescued boy was taken to St. Luke's hospital where he was unconscious for several hours. THE NEW YORK TIMES 100 ATTITUDE OF NEGROES ON 48TH AMENDMENT BE DISCUSSED Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 4—(Associated Negro Press)—As a signaththe interracial relations between the races in the South is assuming a more than general aspect, the proposed conference to be held in this city during the first week of October under the auspices of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals o the Methodist Episcopal Church to determine the relation and attitude of the Negro towards the Eighteenth Amendment, is being looked forward to with more than a considerable interest by the Nashville public at large.

The conference is to be welcomed by the governor of the state, the mayor of the city, the Chamber of Commerce, white and colored Ministers, Alliance and the business- and educational institutions of Nashville.

One of the best meetings of the local Negro Business League held during the year was held on last Wednesday night with a large number of members and visitors present. F. M.

Short talks were made by several other members of the organization all of whom pledged their support to the Waycross Casket Company. R. A. Harper, cashier of the Wage Earners Savings Bank of Savannah, Ga., was also a guest of the League. He was introduced by Carlton W. Gaines who paid him and the Wage Earners Bank a high compliment. The Wage Earners Bank is the largest Niger bank in the world. Mr. Harper made a strong talk on the necessity of co operation and stated that the really big things could only be done in that way.

Tablet Placed African Hero London, England, Sept. 4—A tablet is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital where an African hero Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the drenched sleeping sickness. Attacked by sleeping sickness in the Congo in 1890, Mandombi suggested to an English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken every four hours until at least the germ was identified. The strain was too much and Mandombi died as truly a martyr to the cause of human progress as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. It is well that the memory of such men should be perptunted and that their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement the dearest thing given to them and when they give up their lives they come as near the divine as ever a man does.

JEWS ORGANIZE TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA Boston, Mass., Sept. 5.—(Associated Negro Press)—Jewish organizations throughout Greater Boston today retained council as a first step in what gives promise of becoming a huge fight to combat the activities of a widespread "ring" of race haters whose work has resulted in anti-Semitic demonstrations in various communities. The latest incident in the alleged activities was the stoning of a Jewish synagogue in South Boston and the barring of a Jewess from a fashionable hotel in Winthrop, which it is charged, was the work of "high-brows." These incidents and a number of other local demonstrations during the last few months are characterized as aftermaths of the so-called anti-Semitic utterances made at Harvard which attracted attention throughout the country. Haward definitely repudiated any anti-Jewish policy in its matriculation program. WILLIE ARTIS IS.ACQUITTED Mobile, Ala., Sept. 6th (Preston News Service)—Following a trial before Recorder Idlington on Tuesday, Willie Artis, of Quigley street, was acquitted of the charge of murder in connection with the death of Fritz R. Harvard, (white) which occurred last Thursday, week. The only witness to the killing testified that Artis was cleaning a winchester rifle in the cabin of a tug boat at the foot of Madison street when the gun exploded, the bullet going through the cabin wall and striking Harvard, who was inspecting timber, in the head, killing him instantly Harvard was at war kalmost two hundred yards fro mthe tug boat. DOING BUSINESS IN AFRICA Secondly, Gold Coast, West Africa, Sept. 2nd (Priston News Service)—While Marcus Garvey is plunging to come to this rich country and take it by force, Mr. Chappelle is right here on the job, quietly doing business with capital raised in the United States. The African Union Company, was organized a few years ago by lending colored men and women in the United States, who saw the commercial possibilities, and the company has been doing a splendid transportation business for some time. Last fall Mr. Chappelle returned to the United States and reported the possibilities of doing a tremendous business if sufficient capital was available. He secured American markets for the products of Gold Coats. It is claimed that large manufacturing corporations in this country wanted to know if Mr. Chappelle could supply the materials he claimed. When Mr. Chappelle and several American Neros sailed for Africa last May two white men, representing big interests in this country accompanied them. One was Mr. Fox of the Montgomery-Ward Company of Chicago, and the other Mr. J. W. Crow, of a large brokerage firm of that city. Mr. Crow was asked to report in partially on what he found, and the prospects of what the African Union company might be able to do in Africa Here is his first letter to Dr. J. E. Banks, Ambridge, Pa., of the Ameri- can Society of Chill Engineers: "Dear Mr. Banks: I promised to write you from Africa, also to supply you with something, in the way of a usual report, soon as possible after writing in Secondee. "As you are doubtless aware, we were delayed over a month in Liverpool, therefore, have been here only since July 11th. Therefore, we have circulated around but very slightly, everyone's time, seeming to be required in organizing the Secondree office and activities. However, we have accomplished a very great deal and have earned enough to convince us that Mr. Chappelle did not and could not tell half the story, and that we have not only verified all representations he had make, and beyond and per adventure, but have become firmly convinced that it is a most wonderful country in its wealth and native resources on the face of the globe—harring none. Every phase so extraordinary, and so far beyond our expectations that, we are more and more amazed as the days go by and the scenes and incidents pass in review before our wondering gaze. "For instance, we closed negotiations only today, with one of the leading chiefs, (I should say King, for that is his official relation to his people, having 20 or 40 chiefs under him), for all minerals, gold, silver, manganese, tin, palm oil and other products on 1,200 square miles of territory. Preliminary contracts for which are being drafted at this hour. This concession of itself, is simple basis for the entire African Union capitalization. Not to mention 26 other chiefs who have granted similar concessions. The African Union Company will soon control over half the entire Gold Coast territory, as to all timber, mineral and other products; since the chiefs who have not been in to see Mr. Chappelle have sent word they were coming. These concessions are for 90 years and are absolutely priceless. You can take any representation Mr. Chappelle has made, multiply same by two and still have a margin left for conservatism. "The climate and the people are equally perilous. We have worn our American climbing spikes, etc., the perfect comfort by day and have slept under heavy woolen blankets at night, just the identical same conditions as at Los Angeles, Calif., in so far as delightful climatic conditions are concerned. The natives have all peoples heaten as to physique and physical fitness, that any of us have ever seen all are perfect and command our unstinted praise and admiration. After this year the African Union Company should make 100 per cent of its entire capitalization annually. "The company has already been given 125 mahogany logs to market with not a dollar of advance money required, except freight necessary to get them to ship side. Today other parties came in and voluntarily offered 10,000 mahogany logs on the same conditions. The company shipping to markets on their own account, deducting all expenses from proceeds and splitting profits. Of itself, a snug little fortune if prices are fair. Yours very sincerely. (Signed) J. W. Crow. DECLINES TO GIVE UP NEGRO Atlanta, Sept 5—The diplomatic relationship between the state of Georgia and the state of Michigan seems not to have improved. A few weeks ago, in the consideration of a white man from this state, Gov. Hardwick made the remark that the state of Michigan, in the matter of requisitions, is not in the very best of good graces in Georgia with the recollection of the treatment accorded this state by that one. His reference, though no names were called, was to the case in which Georgia has been trying some Purest by Test Giant Lye STRONG lye lasts longer than weak lye.

BARBITT, Successor The Mendleton Corporation 13 West 34th St., New York time to have extradited to this state a Negro murderer, whom the Michigan authorities refuse to extradite on the ground that Georgia is lawless and may lynch the Negro. Today came a letter from the private secretary to Governor Groosheck of Michigan, notifying Gov. Hardwick that the Michigan executive has declined to honor a requisition from this state for the return of one Tom Rogers wanted in Walton county for skipping his bond in a criminal case. The excuse is given that the attorney general of Michigan finds the requisition papers made out by the solicitor general are faulty. CHURCH-TREASURER SLAIN CHURCH-TREASURER SLAIN Senatobin, Miss; Sept. 5th (Preston News Service)—The entire congregation of the First Baptist church here was arrested last Thursday in an effort to learn the identity of the parties who murdered Andrew Johnson, church treasurer, whose body was found near his home late Wednesday. Three hundred dollars of the church funds had been turned over to him on Tuesday night. As soon as the bank opened on Wednesday morning Johnson deposited the money. Wednesday evening he went down to the stable, which is some distance from his home, to feel his mule and never returned. Johnson's body was found on Thursday morning, his head was crushed and a bloody piece of plank was found near the body. His pockets had been searched by the murderers in looking for the money. County officers express the belief that robbery was the motive for the crime, and report that many different size tracks of both men and women were found in the barn yard where Johnson was killed. His pockets had been turned inside out and 300 cents he was known to have had in his possession was missing. The arrest of the entire congregation was decided upon by the others because of the fact that only member of the church were supposed to have had knowledge of the money delivered to Johnson. His stepson has also been arrested, but so far no proof of any consequence has developed against him. RACE CONFERENCE TO.CONVENE (Continued from page 1) and uplift movements that are now engaging the attention and active service of the best social forces in the entire nation. It is one of the first instances when the Negro has taken the initiative in any of the general reform movements. Dr. Coggin is the central figure in this present instance and as such he has attracted the favorable consideration of the entire force of the Methodist Episcopal Church who have joined with him in the organization of this interracial conference in the very heart of the South. Dr. Coggin, while modest to the highest degree, is not wholly unknown to praleworthy fame. He has been a first figure in the work of his church among the colored people for the past fifteen years. His character has withstood the closest scrutiny. He enjoys an enviable reputation for the possession of a sterling and high grade ability. He is absorbing progressive and has a fine, strong faith in the capacity of his race to absorb and put into practice the truer principles of the American civilization. Hence, he is always to be found in the front ranks of all the more significant reform movements of the times. That he has been able to secure the active participation of all the more important national organizations in the conference can be safely taken as a first class testimonial of the great esteem in which he is held in every section of the country. His unselfish devotion to duty, his modesty, his unfaltering belief in the capacity of his race all combine with the knowledge of his fine moral qualities to endear him to all who possess the good fortune of his acquaintance. He is everywhere regarded a good man with a great heart. It is being freely predicted here that the conference will mark an epoch in the progress of the race throughout the Southland.

Headquarters for homes for color Vest Broad Street Page Three FILMLE OF FIRST IN SERVICE MILKO PRESS BAPTIST LEADER FALLEN News of the death of the Reverend Ellas Camp Morris, D. D., head of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, which occurred Tuesday at Helena, Arkansas, must have cast much gloom over not only the several million adherents of this faith throughout the country but upon others as well. Dr. Morris was truly one of the big guns of his church not merely on account of the high position which he held but because of his superior intellect and his great executive ability. To Dr. Morris, perhaps, more than to any other figure in his wing of the Baptist denomination, is due credit for the rapid and almost miraculous growth of that body. He was an indefatigable worker and an executive officer whose leadership brought honor and distinction to the hundreds of thousands of adherents of his church His death leaves a great gap in the great church which he served so acceptably and it will require no little effort to find a man who will properly fill the place marked at last by the passing away of this high and worthy churchman. KEEPING SAVANNAH ON THU MAP* The automobile, races which the Negroes of this city have been holding for the past two years have gone a long way toward giving Savannah publicity in other fields. This kind of sport is a rather expensive pastime and thousands of dollars have been spent in these races since the first venture of this kind pulled off, here a little more than eighteen months ago, but every dollar expended by the public to witness these races, now numbering four in all, has brought excellent returns to the city in general aside from giving the thousands of spectators an afternoon full of the most exciting and thrilling kind of sport. Since the first races of this kind held here on July fourth of last year, the name of our city has resounded from one part of the country to another. Many here looked upon the initial effort along this line as a joke and made many predictions that it would result in a slaughter for those who participated in the affair. They expected untold death to follow in the wake of the Negro's entry into this branch of sport, but they were mistaken, the colored drivers who took part in the hair-raising events on this memorable Independence day hurling their iron steeds around the half mile track with a degree of skill that won praise for them on all sides. They were courageous and daring and took all the chances that are usually seen in these death-defying exhibitions and when the day had come to an end another victory in the field of sport had been scored by the Negro. The success of the undertaking traveled far and wide and today wherever there are any appreciable numbers of Negroes Savannah's fame as an automobile racing city is known. These sent-annual races have come to be looked upon as the chief sporting event among Negroes in this part of the country and whenever they are held, there are scores of out-of-town visitors present to witness the skill of the colored automobile driver. These races, too, have demonstrated, as in other lines of sport into which he has entered, that the normal Negro racing driver is endowed with the same attributes which characterize men of other races who take a chance in such events. He has just started in these more death-defying sports and his entry has been wrought with much success. We are pleased that he had his entry in this branch of sport here in Savannah, at least in a big way, for it has brought much commendable publicity to our city. The committee of young Negro business men who are heading this venture here, has done the city no small honor in promoting these races which have given Savannah much noteworthy publicity—far and near. EDITORIAL EXCERPTS REV. LEWIS IN LIBERIA Too bad that Rev. Lewis, with his nonsense about transporting colored people to Liberla, makes such a deep impression upon the minds of the large and powerful newspapers of this idulity. What the newspapers here abouts say of Mr. Lewis and his Liberian idea is of course read in other places and the unknowing are led to think that there is a bona fide effort being made to transport colored people from this country to Africa. Such is not the fact at all. Rev. Lewis is a man of adventure without a dollar in the world and without any church or other connection of a genuine or real sort. The Liberian Transportation Steamship Navigation Company exists in name only and Rev. Lewis has no more idea or prospect of going to Africa himself or of transporting anybody there than a jack rabbit running over the hills near Elisimore—Western Dispatch. KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE Amid all the complex and discouraging situations that continuously confronts us as Afro-Americans it is vital for the race to remember that we are actually making progress in every direction. The figures of the actual growth of colored citizens in the ownership of flanders and homes and business institutions, of their progress in the learned professions and in every sphere of human activity are too familiar and too large to appreciate. These are admitted by friends and foes alike. It is necessary, however, that we continually keep these concrete facts in mind lest we seem to become discouraged with our progress. It is vital that we retain the optimism and hope and faith proverbial of our forefathers while we struggle manfully on for the recognition of the equal rights to which we are entitled as men and Americans. It was the sunshine and the courage and the trust in God that preserved them in a state of nature during slavery. Then and since these virtues, in the face of the cruel hardships and the bloody, inhuman persecutions to which the face has been subjected, have kept it plodding forward. It will be fatal to us now to become unbittered and discouraged in despair for our future—The New York News. AN INSULT Some of the New York papers last nounced that he would sell his house an employee of the New York "Herald" was advertising his home on West End Avenue, Avon-by-the-Sea, for sale "to Negroes only." It seems that Mr. Marsteller and his wife had a controversy with a neighbor who keeps a boarding house two doors down from the Marsteller home. Mr. Marsteller complaining that odors arising from an incinerator used by the boarding house were not only unpleasant but affected the throat. He made a complaint to the Commissioners but that body took no action. It was then that Mr. Marsteller announced that he would sell his house to Negroes. Announcements of this kind have occasionally been made for a number of years back. There was a time when colored people did not seem to gather the full import of such an announcement. We believe that there have been cases where colored people stepped in and bought or occupied such properties. We hope and believe that they now see and realize such announcements as the one made by Mr. Marsteller constitute the most insolent sort of an insult. Mr. Marsteller and those like him ought to be made to know that that is the way in which colored people regard such announcements. SEND MY BOY'S BODY HOME Every telegraph office in a Northern city where there is considerable colored population presents the sad sight of a motley group of more or less young folks standing around framing a telegraph to be sent to some old mother back home in the South. Behind these incidents is the neglect of some prodigal son to send back home any money from his big wages or to have provided insurance to cover the inevitable end of all mortals. He has been so busy having a big time that he has overlooked the little things of which life is made. Now he is dead, and the facts are being whisked ruthlessly to his poor old mother, in her cabin home on the few productive acres which his energy might have caused to blossom into a garden from which to provide for her comfort. Mother, with that heart and tenderness so common to those women of our race and tradition, through her tears and mingled prayers and sighs, coupled with reminiscences of her boy's baby days, limbs around to "Turney Brown's" or hitches the old mule to a cart and rides into town to "see Misto Wilson" and "raises" the money to send her boy's body home. Every station of southern railroads THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1922: Madam Ida B. Jefferson, A Widow Evangelist 10th Episcopal Dist. A. M, E. Church, North Texas Is the scene of the arrival, of such sacred freight. Friends gather, work is suspended, white men's autos are hired, the undertaker moves about in his long, green-black coat, the church by the roadside hums with the suppressed conversation of its crowd and the whole day is spent in a tribute to the mistakes of a misguided, wilful youth who has had his filing. As the saddened and bent old mother sees his remains placed in the ground, she feels a peculiar rest and ease trying to overcome her depression, for she knows now where he is and her memories, and blasted hopes find a point where they may be refreshed as she slowly moves to her final rest beside him and his father. The mortgage placed upon the old home will never be paid, but when she answers the last call, the white people will take the property and either rent it to tenants or merge it into a large estate which they have been slowly gathering through the years, as property increased in value in that neighborhood. In considering race progress, if should be remembered that youth is an asset, and every effort should be made to conserve it. B. Y. P. Us and C.

REV THOMPSON IN THE CITY Rev. O S P Thompson of Beaufort, S C, pastor of the First African Baptist church is in the city for about one week's stay. He is also editor-in-chief of the Beaufort Messenger, a monthly magazine published by the Ministerial Union. Rev. Thompson has been pastoring in Beaufort not quite a year but has done untold good in the community. He is a man of a pleasing disposition, a forceful speaker and pleasant conversant. Arepresentative of The Tribune had the pleasure of worshiping at his church and his services are highly conducted. He is very popular with his congregation which is made up of some of the first people of Beaufort. He is accompanied on the trip by his wife and daughter. REV. LINDSAY REMOVES Rev. J. A. Lindsey of Atlanta, a former pastor of St. Philip A. M. E. Church, is back in the city, this time as presiding elder of the West Savannah district. He succeeds Dr. W. G. Alexander who goes to Atlanta idean of Morris Brown Theological seminary, a position held by Rev. Lind say up to a few weeks ago. The reverend and Mrs. Lindsey and their daughter, Miss Hallie, are residing at 2005 Florence street. FINE PICTURES OF AUTOMOBILE RACES Photographer J. W. Johnston has on display at his studio, 817 West Broad street, many excellent pictures of the colored automobile races which were held Monday at the Fair Grounds. Aside from the pictures of the racing cars and drivers, he has a beautiful circuit or panoramic picture of the whole race track showing spectators, grand stand, race track and cars. These pictures may be bad at one dollar each. The pictures in the cut on the front page were made by Mr. Johnston.

Agents For consultation other than sickness, if you take treatment, this will go to Address MADAM IDA Box 648 New York City, September (Preston News Service)—Harry Willis, the Bronze Panther of New Orleans, with a crushing right hook to the jaw, after two minutes and five seconds of fight-lug in the third round of his bout with "Tut" Jackson, of Washington Court House, Ohio, fame, vindicated himself and firmly established his position last Tuesday night at Ebbett's Field, flooring his challenger for the count. Exactly one week from the day, when he disposed of "Buddy" Jackson in Newark, N. J., before an enthusiastic gathering of fans, Wilts disposed of the other Jackson, and thus practically swept away the final barrier to a match with the present heavy weight champion—Jack Dempsey. Followers of "Flistana" are wondering what subterfuge the wily Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, will resort to in a futile attempt to stave off a championship bout between Dempsey, and Wilts. And, inevitable as that, coming of another championship match, Wilts and Dempsey will meet. Just when, how soon, no one, just now, is in position to tell. But Willis' two recent victories, while they can hardly be called consensual, have certainly knocked all competition out of the way. The public has been clamoring for Willis to really show his class. He has done this in no uncertain way. White] heavies would not meet him, so he took the only colored men in his class who showed that they had any records, and disposed of them—yes, disposed of them so easily, in fact, that the aftermath is rather amusing, from a mere reader's point of view. This leaves Dempsey with only one course to pursue. Either he will have to agree to meet Wills—and soon, for the American public, whatever else might be said of it, really wants the best—or step down, and give his title to someone who will fight. It is needless for him to travel all over the country attempting to meet setups, like the fat, over-sized Billy Mike, Bill Brennan, or the rapidly-aging hunk, Jess Willard. Boxing commissions will not stand for it—the cancellation of the Labor Day attraction having shown as much: And now sport writers are beginning to sing the 'Blues' again. They are trying to discredit the fact that Wills knocked out both his opponents—knocked them into a cuckoo with practically no effort. Here's the gift of their lament. Now, let's see just how far these statements should go. Of course, no one takes the talk of the gentleman from New York seriously. For those who saw the fight last Tuesday night, are unanimous in their opinion that Wills will give Mr. Dempsey the sight of his young life. And, again, Mr. Dempsey must think that Wills is somewhat of a "Pantier," for he continually refuses—not in word—but in actions, to be enticed to sit on a three-legged stool opposite the bronze adonis And why? Just because he knows that when that fateful day comes, the champion is likely, very likely to once again change hands. This self same man also gives as any other reason that Willis cannot hit as hard as Carpenter! Think of it! A man who can floor Norfolk with a blow which travels barely six inches; a man who broke six of Fred Fulton's rips with his punishing body blows; a man who simply toyed with Buddy Jackson and made him dizzy A Healer of Great Power Every man and woman ought to see this wonderful lady, for she can tell you many things that will put you to wondering. Madam Jefferson can bring tangled brains to the light of hopeful sensibility. She can cure any disease that you were not born with, in fact, she can locate any disease in the human body, and tell your complaint by your writing to her when other doctors have failed, then write her and she will give you full details of your disease. Madam Jefferson possesses a natural born gift from birth and is one of the greatest licensed preachers of the age. She has a supernatural gift. God has given her power to heal and lead her people. Her advise on business problems is worth more than you will ever be able to pay. Only business Do you realize that some day you will greatly regret letting those precious dollars slip through your hands? When Theodore Roosevelt Said: "Thrift is common sense applied to spending" he gave to thousands the key to success This Bank makes it easy for you to save. No matter how little money you have right now, deposit it here and let it begin earning five per cent interest, compounded quarterly, with absolute safety of principal. Wage Earners Savings Bank Savannah, Ga. All you can hear from that august gentleman, down east, is the gentle refrain of $500,000. All he wants is a lease on the Treasury Department of the United States and a couple of the government militia. But force of circumstances might bring about a meeting,—with no train load of shekels either—and Then!— Chairman Mulliondon says that he'll have to investigate the record of the Ohio youth. No one discredits that statement. But Mr. Mulliondon must remember that it was the white dallies which gave "Tut" such a wonderful play, with his enormous reach of 80-½ luches, his royal height, and his wonderful weight. These papers were the ones that literally shoved Jackson into a fight with Wills. True, the accounts might have been exaggerated. But did any commission investigate the facts, when Carpenter, weighing little more than 170 pounds meet the close to 200 pounds Dempsey? No, not one. And a lighter in the heavy weight class must battle at catch weights. They say that "Tutt" was a "novile", but ringside followers claim that the defeated youth was clever, in a way. Everyone believed that he did not have the experience. But the white public was hoping against hope that the dangerous Wills would go down. Otherwise, why such publicity. Having disposed of his opponents, Wills is still, silently, but vigilantly waiting for Dempsey to make a move. And when Dempsey does move, then he will come forward. Wills does not want a fortune. All he wants is a crack at the title. When will he get it? The race waits in suspense. Queen Of Liberia To Make Madem Voyage Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 28—(Associated Negro Press)—In a few days the Queen of Liberia of the Church of God Line will steam out of Los Angeles harbor on her malden voyage to Monorria, Liberia. She is lying at the dock now waiting for the colored folk to fill her staterooms and bid the Diesel engines "Diddap". The tickets are pate pink and a yard long and the newly-bought flag ship of the Liberian ton News Service)—Very often pleasant discussions turn out for the mutual benefit of the participants and hearers in knowledge gained, but occasionally they have the reverse effect. At a meeting of the Young Ministers' Alliance here last Tuesday night a dispute arose over ecclesiastical ethics, beginning as a mere abtruce question, and flushing its elimax in an intensely personal exchange of opinions as well as physical efforts. The argument, it is said, arose over the ethics and property of the recent action of the organization in expelling one of its members. According to the police, Revs. L. Mallory and J. L. Mack got the worst of the argument. Both sustained several cuts about their faces and arms. Rev. Mack had to be removed to the Bush Memorial hospital where 25 stitches were taken to close the wounds. Rev. Mr. Abe Guldon, who is alleged to have inflicted the wounds up out the two ministers, is said to have fled to parts unknown. The police are searching for him. $2.50 CHARLESTON And return—vio Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Tickets on sale for train 44 leaving Savannah on Sept 10th only; good returning to leave Charleston, trains 45 or 89, same date No. 44 Savannah 6:30 a.m. Charleston 11:00 a.m. No. 45 Charleston 3:05 p. m. 11:30 p. m.

Kearns says that if the Cuban public wants such a fight Dempsey will try and oblige. Kearns claims there is no one for Dempsey to meet outside of the setup class with the exception of Wills, and thus far no promoter has made him an offer. However, he intimated that the chances are that he will get a bid for a Dempsey-Wills fight within a few days from Tom O'Rourke, the matchmaker of the New Republic clubs, which has leased the Polo grounds. It is reported that O'Rourke will make a proposition to Dempsey if the champion will agree to fight during October. He says he has already talked with Wills and the challenger is willing and ready to fight. PAGE SIX top-notch-bantan weights in this see.

THE NEW YORKER Friends of Dempsey claim that Wills and Dempsey should never be allowed in this country. Such a match would, to fight in this country. Such a match would ruin the sport. Commenting on Wills as a fighter, Jim Jalb, writing in the Pittsburgh Press, under the caption of "Fistle Dibles" says: "Not long ago, the writer, in telling of Harry Wills' ring prowess, hinted that the herculean black was disposed to be a rough mix of alopecia to referee Wills. himself to Referee McCoy, and himself free, turns tricks, etc, and pays no attention to the judge of pace. It was declared that if Dempsey and the big black ever meet, it would be well and wise for the showmen to hire a giant referee, a fellow with gait and gumption, fearless to the Limit Facing Fred Fulton the New Orleans pugilist pulled off gags that should have been forbidden by the referee. Here is an excerpt from an account of Wills' easymoney bout with Bad Jackson at Newark, N. J., last week. Tight fans agreed that Wills fought unfairly. He hooked one hand behind Jackson's head and failed his greggy foe with his free fist. Wills paid no heed to four warnings from Referee McCoy. Sounds natural to people who have watched the black battler in real action. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, THURSDAY.

FARM NEWS WARE COUNTY CLUB NOTES The Grant Community Club gave their annual picnic and barbecue last Saturday. It was a pleasant day and a large crowd of farmers with their families was present and every one enjoyed the day very much. Quite a few people from the city of Waycross attested and assisted in devouring the good eats prepared by the women of the community. Among the visitors from the city were Prof. John Henry Adams, Dr. Whittier Wright, Dr. T. W. Wells and Rey. Brown, pastor of St. Peter's Baptist church. The visitors were loud in their praise for the way people are working together in this community under the instructions of Dr. Hinesman, their county agent. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the day's program was the white-washing of the community church. Dr. Hinesman with the president and a few of the club boys put on a white-washing demonstration and the people all seem to be very happy that they have a beautiful white church in their community. Dr. Hinesman has just placed two more club pigs in this community. These are products of Herlong's Big Model and this brings the number of pure bred pits in the community to 29. The next picnic and club demonstration will be at Patter-on in Pierce county on Monday September 4th MASONIC NEWS Like that immortal sleeper to whom the visions came in Bedford Jail, I likewise dreamed a dream. And behold, there came three sons of earth, who had fared to the end of life's journey and sought admittance at the gate of the Celestial City. And two were clothed in splendid raiment and were decked with jewels and carried with them many treasurers. But one was in poor apperl and carried naught in his hands but his staff and one dull stone, somewhat curiously marked, at which poor man and his clothing and his stone the others scoffed. And one that was within required from each of these an account of good deeds done in the world are yet he might be received into the company of the blessed. And one of these well-apparalled said: "Lord, in my earth-life I have sought out all the creeds and instructed myself in even the smallest things of the law. Against none of Thy commandments have I knowingly sinned. I have slummed the companionship of evil doers, and have spared not in my condemnation of their wickedness. And at morning and night have I prayed for other men. And among these treasurers which I have brought are the goldish letter writings of priests and those that have known of my worth and learning and my strict observance of Thy Law." And likewise his fellow answered: "Lord, I wrought in the marts of men, and my labors were blessed with abundant reward. I was rich with many treasurers, and sought with my wealth to add to The glory. I built great temples in which Thy worshippers might sit softly. Cunning workers in stone toiled long and skillfully to erect them in beauty and in strength. On the windows and walls, artists of renown painted beautiful pictures, and sculptors adorned the aisles with images of the saints. And when the bills from these high towers call men to devotion there is within soft warmth, and light and music and sweet tongued oratory. For all this, Lord, I have gained honor and admiration, and my memory as a just and righteous man will remain long in the world. And of my treasurers I have brought only the plans and charters of these great temples and the praises of men all writ out fair on parchment and enclosed in jewelled caskets." Now, the poor man, hearing of these great things, was sore abashed and both to speak, until He within the gate again demanded answer. For he thought that hardly he might enter with these of worship and wonderful deeds. Then he said: "Lord, on earth I have had neither wealth nor learning. I have ever fared painfully on the path of life, and my feet are sore and weary with the journey. Nor knew I night of creeds and commandments, gave only this—that men should love Thee and one another. And when one of my fellow travelers stumbled and fell by the wayside I helped him again to his feet. When one more helpless than myself was wounded or suffering, I did what little thing I might to bring relief. To those in sorrow I spoke my rude words of sympathy and hade them remember Thee for comfort. I have given of my crust to him that hungered and brought a cup of water to him that was airstiff. I have no monument which shall remind other travellers of my name, and only in the hearts of a few, poor as myself, will I be remembered on earth. And the only treasure is this poor stone, which one whom I succored pressed upon me, and being curiously marked, I have kept hitherto." And those two first looked upon him that spoke in scorn for his poverty, and drew from him nearer to the gate. But He that was within commanded them back and said: "Now is this poor man blessed above you others. For as you have brought of all the things of earth only the records of deeds done for you own glory and that you might be praised and remembered among men, he has carried even to the gate of heaven the fairest jewel of all the earth—the love and gratitude of a brother whom he aided in distress." And as I looked the inded garments of this poor man became all white and beautiful, and th' misterio dull stone in his hand-shone, with a radiant light. And these others were become all sh dded and patched in raiment and all their treasurers shriveled into ashes. And when the gates opened the One within spoke: "For as much as ye did it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto me," and hardly as the poor man passed within, might these others, shamed In the rags of their self-righteousness, also enter. So, passing from our simple allegory would we reason that what best incubates "brotherly love, relief and truth" in a world of selfishness and self-seeking, is worthy of preservation and propagation. Thus judged, Masonry is not far remote from that sacred precinct where Faith stands ever with mulled finger. Thus imbued, her votaries shall find work until the far-off time when "the whole round world is bound with golden chains about the feet of God."—Pascaline Ballett. EDUCATIONAL CONDITIONS IN COLORED SCHOOLS W. T. B. Williams: field director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, who studied the educational conditions in 33 private colleges and universities during the past year, makes the following statements: Today there are five, universities and three colleges with more than 100 college students each; Virginia Union with 135; Lincoln Pa. 220; Willeford, 240; Fisk, 273; an all Howard, 855; Talladega College, 121; Morehouse College, 135; and Wiley College 177. In the thirty three colleges and universities studied this year there are 3.204 students of college grade. The proportion of high school students in these institutions is also on the increase. Nine years ago only thirty three per cent of the students were in the high school departments. This year the schools show 43 per cent in these departments. On the other hand the number of students in the elementary grades in these schools is on the decrease. "A significant change in the teaching force is also taking place in these colored schools of the higher grades. In 1913 there were only 59 more colored than white teachers in the 22 Negro universities. In 1922 there are 269 white and 715 colored teachers in the 33 institutions considered in this study or two and one-half times as many colored as white teachers. Of these 981 teachers, 193 hold A. B. degrees, 84 M. A. degrees, and 18 PhD. degrees from standard colleges while 151 have A.B. degrees and 29 M.A. degrees from colored colleges only." DR. J. W.

New York, Sept 4—"Wherever a certain class of American tourists go in Europe they continually and industriously endeavor to convince Europeans that the Negro in the United States is ignorant, criminal, vicious, and above all a rapist, ever ready to criminally assault white women and restrained only by sheer brute force in the form of lynching." was the statement made today by Arthur T. Long, principal of a large public school in Indianapolis, Ind., who has just returned after spending more than two months in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, according to announcement by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "They never tell of the decent, self-respecting, progressive colored people. Mr. Long continued, the best that they ever say is usually some story about a 'good darkey' or a "coon". Unfortunately this work has been carried on so extensively that it is being felt in countries where a few years ago there was no thought of race prejudice Americans, spending lavishly are naturally catered to by French German and other merchants and business men. Thus economic pressure is making people free from prejudice how to American racial bitterness." On the other hand, there seems to me to be considerable knowledge in Europe of the facts about the race problem in American. Largely due to the attempt of America to assume the moral leadership of the world as well as the financial mastery. Europeans covier the race question in America and the burning alive of human beings to be the acid test of the geniusness of American moral ideals. Europe wants to know the real facts about the race problem in America, and it is to be regretted that there seems to be no adequate means at present of getting the real truth before Europe. "All Americans who go to Europe can be divided, with only a few exceptions into two classes. One of those is that group I have already spoken of those who deliberately spread lies about the Negro. The other class is composed of those who say nothing about the problem. Very few white American ever take the time or trouble to tell the truth, even if they themselves know it. It is a sad but true fact, that in all the time I was in Europe, the only really good things said about the Negro were said by Frenchman and Englishmen." Mr. Long was asked about the truth of the charges made in the United States Senate on August 31 by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska that colored troops were committing excesses on German women in the occupied zones. He replied, "I was in Germany two weeks and during that time, though I was at Mayence where French troops are quartered, as well as at Cologne where the British troops are stationed and at Cobierz where the American forces are; I never heard one word of any such charges. It does seem to me that if there had been the slightest grounds for such charges, I would at least have gotten an inkling of it. The real reason is easy to understand. The Germans naturally want the re- capitation forces removed. They are also enough to know that America's blind spot is her race prejudice, and that an appeal to that race prejudice is the most potent argument they can make to Americans, especially when that appeal is made to the tune of a charge that black men are raping white women." "Prehaps one of the most interesting things I observed: Mr. Long continued, was the fact that Americans as soon as the ship left American soil seem to feel that the ban of color was lifted and restrictions were removed. People who would not think of treating colored people decently in America for fear of excluding comment or scorn,hetually became friendly and acted like human beings.My conclusion is that the atmosphere of America is conducive to race prejudice and Negro bating,that the so called race prejudice is not inherent at all but it artificially created and maintained as a sort of fetish in the United States." Mr. Long covered a great deal of territory while abroad and tells most interestingly the story of his experienc DYER BILL CERTAIN TO PASS SENATE New York Sept 1—TheDyer Anti-Lunching bill was definitely placed on the Senate calendar for debate and vote at the present session of Congress this action being taken by the Senate Steering Committee on Wednesday August 20 according to announcements When it was learned that the Bonus Bill would be passed so soon after being taken up in the Senate, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. was recalled from his vacation and went immediately to Wash- ington. He held numerous conferences with Republican leaders in the Senate. As a result of the work done and particularly because of the extensive pressure which has been brought to bear on individual senators, the Dyer Bill was definitely placed on the calendar, which means that it will be brought up for debate and vote within the next few weeks. Woodmen of Union In Annual Session Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 2—A fraternal organization which advocates the bath, the screen and fresh air may not be new "under the sun" but the slogan "clean homes, clean bodies, clean lives" has helped to make the Woodmen of Union one of the strongest orders of its kind in the country. In spite of the railroad strike, some thing more than 2000 delegates representing 1200 local lodges in the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida and Missouri gathered here this week for the annual Grand Lodge Session, and the dedication of the $150,000 Hospital and Bath House was the outstanding feature of the week's proceedings. On Wednesday evening at Visitors Chapel A. M. B. church the addresses of welcome were delivered: Dr. C. M. Wade, extending the welcome on behalf of the citizens; Prof. B. C. Barrow on behalf of the churches and Prof. S. M. Wyatt on behalf of the local fraternal organizations. Prof. G. S. Goodman of Holly Springs, Ms. the Supreme Vice President responded on behalf of the visitors and he took occasion to tell something of the achievement of the organization during the past six years. He praised the deputies and field organizers for their "honest, efficient and loyal cooperation in the management of the affairs of the order this year." The local lodges through their officers "have rendered a most helpful service" in keeping their records accurately in spreading the doctrine of "Love, Truth and Justice" for which the organization stands and for enclosing the W. O. T. to stand for "law and order" and for co operation between the two races. Continuing Dr. Kendall said: "We are struggling, and working not alone for the present but for unborn generations for this race of ours which must eventually take its place along side of other races who have fought, bled and conquered. As a race we have no canoe to despair when we think of the melting pot through which other peoples and races have passed. Rather than despair let us be mindful of the things which concern us personally. Let us be careful of our conduct with reference to our relations the one with the other. Let us more accurately consider and more diligently ponder the truth contained in 'As ye would that men should do unto you do ye even so unto them.' Let us settle within ourselves once and for always this question and that is if endurable efforts of, for, and by my people are to meet with success it will have to come absolutely and entirely thru my people. Each individual must know that the future hope of the children which they have brought into the world, the aims and ambitions of a struggling race depends entirely upon their own loyalty to the principles for which we are contending and to the amount of cooperation shown to every worthy effort put forth by our own race. The Custodian's Report John L. Webb, the Supreme Custodian of the organization, was recently elected Treasurer of the National Negro Business League and his annual report showed that the Woodmen of Union have assets amounting to $433,000 and that $20,000 has been paid out this year in sick and death claims to members. "Our organization" said Mr. Webb. "was never in better financial condition that at present" and the members gave frequent evidence of their appreciation of Mr. Webb's service to the order. The committee appointed to review the custodian's report said: "Any organization among any people that can in six years turn a $5000 deficit into a credit balance of $200,000 and during the same period pay out $610,000 in sick and death claims is worthy of the confidence and support of the best people everywhere." "All of that is the work of John L. Webb" said one of the speakers, "for he took charge of the order when it had no money and a mere handful of members and has IN MEMORY JOHNSTON, THE PHOTOGRAPHER DERMIS CURA Page Seven Patent Leather, Black Satin, Vici Kid and Brown Calf Also White Canvases wheels of the best racing cars in this section of the state. After a brief warming up around the track in which the drivers all got the big hand when they passed the grand stand, there were seven cars to line up at the starting point. Alfonso "Shine" Irwin who won the city championship in the brilliant races of July fourth, last, having been fortunate enough to get position number one in the drawing for position just prior to the race, drew his Bulck up to the starter's line, next to the inside fence. On his right was "Peck" Walker in his "Baby" Essex and next was "Buddy" Lockhart in a Grant special. Then came a Peerless, driven by Jerry Brown; a Packard, driven by "Blacksmith" Cole; another Packard, driven by Ernest "Tiney" Battle with a Chalmers, driven by Joe Bruen on the outside. At the wave of the flag they were off in a flash and when they had reached the south turn of the half mile track Brown had worked his Peerless into a lead of about two cars lengths over the field, with Joe Bruen in his Chalmers in second position followed by Walker in the Essex. The other four cars rounded the curve in a cloud of dust behind up by the leaders. In a break for advantage as they emerged from the turn the Packard driven by Battle and Lockhart's Grant came together and in the collision the Grant suffered a broken right front wheel which put it out of commission for the rest of the day. By the time the grandstand was reached the Peerless was going like a streak of lightning and had increased its lead over the Chalmers. Brown was kicking her for all she was worth and was taking the curves like a wildman. He was apparently determined to show the way tall end with both cars apparently running bad. At the five mile mark the Packard was still in the lead with the Chalmers next. The Essex had developed engine trouble and was passed by "Blacksmith's" No. 7 Packard. The Peerless had gone bad and dropped out and the Buick was pulling up on the leaders. At the eight mile post the Packard had further increased its lead and was running steady. The Chalmers was now running hot and barely finished the sixteenth lap when she drew over to the pit and knocked off. This left the trace with but two cars, the Packard 48 and the Buick. On the twentieth lap the Packard's gasoline supply began to run out and she was barely able to finish this the last lap, winning the race from the Buick by about fifty yards. It is doubtful if the Packard would have been able to go another quarter of a mile because her fuel tank was practically dry. Battle drove a beautifully heady race, in fact, one of the best even seen on the local track, taking every advantage possible. As a reward for winning this event he was given first money and also the coveted honor of being the champion colored dirt track driver of this section of the country. RACE CONFERENCE TO CONVENE ment given it by many of the national organization of the colored people. The International Conference of the Masonic Fraternity, The National Negro Business League, the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the National Negro Medical Association and more than eighteen church denominations and reform agencies have signified their intentions to send delegates to the conference. The sessions of the conference will be held in the big hall of the Itman Auditorium at Fifth near Broad street. They will continue from the 3d to the 6th of October inclusive. A local committee of colored and white people will have charge of the arrangements and look after the comfort of the large number of delegates and visitors expected to be in attendance.
