DR. MORRIS, HEAD NATIONAL BAPTISTS PASSES AWAY AT HELENA, ARKANSAS
VOL. XXXVII
DR. 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

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.

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

Excellent Reports Made By Delegates
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 6. 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. Lester, the delegate to the National meeting at Norfolk, made a very excellent report, of what went on at the meeting. Judging from his report and the statement of others who attended the meeting was one of the best held by the organization in years. Among the most attractive exhibits at the League was one by the Waycross Casket Company which had several high class caskets on display. The exhibition of these caskets at Norfolk has caused a big increase in the company's orders.
C. M. Jackson, one of the leading mechanics of the city was the principal speaker on the program and made a splendid talk on the "Negro Mechanic." He pledged the support of the Carpenters Union to the Negro Business League, and would urge upon them all to become members.
The Colored Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association which was holding its convention here Wednesday and Thursday called off its night session and attended the meeting of the Business League in a body, Walter J. Wyntt, President of the Association made a very impressive talk and held his audience spellbound. He paid a high compliment to the Waycross Negro Business League and the Waycross Casket Company, and insisted upon the members of his organization that it was their duty to purchase their caskets and funeral supplies from the Waycross Casket Company, the first and possibly the largest Negro Casket Company in the country. 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. His talk was well received by

Central Park College will begin its fall term Wednesday, September 13, when students from all parts of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina will register for what Prof. Lawrence declares will be the best term in the history of the school.

OVER FIVE THOUSAND SEE THRILLING SPEED CARD.
A crowd estimated from four to six thousand persons witnessed the Negro automobile and horse races held Monday afternoon at the Tri-State Exposition track. The entire card was one of the best ever presented here and was full of thrills from beginning to end. Long before the time set for the races to begin the grounds were alive with holiday mirth, and when the program got under way with the half mile running race for two-year-old horses the thousands of speed lovers were on keen edge. Among those who were on hand to witness these, the fourth semi-annual speed contests run here by Negroes, were hundreds of visitors from Jacksonville, Augusta, Macon and Beaufort.
The half mile running race for horses, which was entered by eight of the fastest saddle horses in this section, was won by Tess with Judge Glover up. He was pressed from the get off by Billy with Otto Perry in the saddle. Anna D with "splitfire" up came in third, a head behind Tess. In the trotting race, one mile, the honors were carried off by Atlanta Pete, driven by Orrie Lonon, who nosed out Funny Crank, driven by Lias Orr.
The five miles motorcycle race in which there were four entrants went to D. Givens, local colored champion, riding a Reading Standard. He was pressed for first honors by H. Eikenotter, riding an Indian. Givens jumped off in the lead at the start and when the race was about half over was at least a quarter of a lap ahead of Eikenotter. At this point the latter began some sensation al riding and when the two riders entered on the last lap Givens was leading by a bare two lengths and when the pair were rounding the curve in the home stretch for the finish Givens lead had been cut to a fraction less than a machine's length. Givens whining the race by a wheel. The other two riders were both happen.
The stage was now all set for the first automobile race, a five-mile open event in which were to appear all the well-known speed klings at the

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.

Rochester, Aug 30—Despondent, it is said, because she knew blood she lugged her marriage, Margaret Van Cleeng, twenty-one, a nurse, leaped in her death from "Suicide Bridge," spanning the Genesee river. Her body was found near the lower falls last night.
Miss Cleeng had been missing since Friday. Her body was identified by her roommates, who said she often referred her desire to die because she could not tell her fiance she had Negro blood.
The girl, her friends said, had resisted never to marry. About a year ago she met the man, and he, ignorant of his secret, proposed marriage. As his calls became more frequent she was forged to decide the issue. She disappeared the night she was to have given her answer.

HEV. LPWIS IN LIBERIA
Too bad that Rev. Lewis, with hls
nonsense ‘about trapeporting colored
people to Liberia, makes such a deep
imprepsion upon the minds of the
large and powerful newspapers of ‘this
viclulty, What the\newspapers here
abouts say of Mr Lewis and his Li-
berlin Idea is of course read in other
places and the unknowing ure led to
think that there is a bona fide effort
being utde to transport colored peo-
ple from this country to Africa~
Such is not the fuct at all Rev.
Lewly is @ mum of adveuturo“without
a doliir in the world and without any
church or other connection of a genu-
ine or real sort. The Liberian Trans-
portation Steamship Navigatlon Com-
pany exiots in name only and Rev,
Lewls as no more idea or proypect
of going to Africa himself or of trans”
porting anybody there than a Jack rab~
bit running over the Julls near Elisi-
more—Western Dispatch,
KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE.
‘unid all the complex and discour~
ngiug situations that continyilly
confronts us as Afro-Americans it ts
vital for the race to remember that
we are actually making progress in
every direction. The figures of the
aetual growth of colored citizens in
the ownership o flaud and:homew and
vusiness dnstitations, of thelr progtess
in the leurned professtons end:in every
sphere of human actiritly are too fa-
miitar aud too large to appreciate.
‘hese 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
\ital that we retain the optimlsin snd
hope and faith proverbial of our fore~
Tathers while we etruggie manfully ou!
tor the recognition of the equal rights’
tw whica we are entitled as men and
Americans. It was the sunshine jand
tne courage and the trust in God that
preserved them in a state of nature
Juriug slavery. ‘Then und elnce these
virtues, in the fuce of the cruel hard-
«hips and the bivody, inhuman perse-
cations to whiehfthe race hay been shb-
jected hare kept it plodding forward.
It will be fatal to us now to become
tubittered und discouraged in prs

from New York seriously. For those

are wanjawous in thelr ‘opinion that

The election is scheduled to take place on the fourth Sunday, September 24. This organization has one of the largest memberships in the city and was organized some thing more than two years ago, it has been of much benefit to the community and under Mr. Wright's administration it has given several hundred dollars for charitable purposes and has at present a substantial treasury. Much of the success of the organization is due to the present incumbent who it is understood started the movement to organize the South Carolinians. From the outlook the line up is strong for President Wright.
The West Side Joymen Syndicate is still alive and is looking forward to a great success for the future
The athletic association of the Y. M. C. A. held a meeting on last Tuesday night for the benefit of a football team Henry Patton being elected captain for the coming season. All boys wishing to take a part will kindly attend the meeting that is being held on Thursday nights at the Y. M. C. A.
The National Boys and Girls Club will meet Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at their club room, all members are asked to be present. They wish to announce to the boys and girls who have applied for membership to be present at their regular monthly meeting. After routine business a course of refreshments will be served also a program will be rendered. Their president Clifford A. Mungin will speak from the subject, "The Triangle of Progress Law, Education and Religion. This club is in the hands of a splendid set of young officers.

GOOD MUSICAL SHOW AT PEKIN This week and next the patrons of the Pekin theatre will enjoy what they have been long waiting for in the line of musical comedy. Fisher's Fun Festival is putting over a breezy show. It is full of pop and music and nothing boding on the vicious kind. The entire show can be termed a clean one and posesses nothing that will offend the most fastidious. There in myriad and music from the rise of the curtain in the first act to the fall in the List, in fact an evening of laughter and amusement.
The show features "Baby" Maxine Reynolds, the seven year old wonder. The old in indeed very clever and makes one sit up and take notice when she hugs her several selections which are decided hits. Wilton Crawley the clarinet wizard does his stuff with the "blues" making his instrument wall human tones Besides this he also does exteremely difficult contortionist work, which causes you to wonder how he does it and live The jazz band is a real "knock out" Their syncopation is very good.
The last half of the week they will play Lovey Joe, Baby Bliss and New York to Florida. Next week the first half Jelly Holl Hotel; last half, Ragtime Cooks.

NEW GOVERNMENT FOR ISLANDS
Manila, Philippine Islands, Sept 6—
It is now accepted as a fact that the
dual form of government for the
islands is to be abandoned for a native
and resuscitative administration of the
island affairs. The news has been
brought back by the commission which
has recently returned from a visit to
President Harding at Washington.
Assurances that the change would soon
be made were given to the commission
by the President himself. The news
has been received here with great satis-
faction.
Scottsdale, Pa., Sept. 4. There will be no more gum chewing in the Negro Baptist churches of Pennsylvania. This edict went forth from the Negro Baptist convention held here recently and the delegates who considered the question were most emphatic in their objection to "jaw wagging" while church services are being held. Delegates dwelt on the necessity for ministers to look into the faces of their congregation and behold a lot of folks whose work faster than their train.

THE BATTLE FOR THE BALL
FIGHTING WILLIAMS
DEMPSEY-WILLS MATCH
NEW YORK CITY, SEPT. 14 (Preston News Service)—The wily Jack Keams Jack Dempsey's manager, has just returned from an extended trip to different sections trying to find a big money match for the Champion without success. When asked about the proposal Wills-Dempsey hint he replied: "We're signed and ready. Where are the pu moters?"
It is claimed that Cuban fight fans have indicated that they would like to see a fight between Dempsey and Jack Johnson. 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.

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.

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.

Admirers of Wills claim that he is one of the fairest fighters ever seen in the ring, and extremely so when his opponent is white, for he is mindful of the ever presence of race prejudice which he strives to over come with extreme fairness.
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."

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

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. Dr. Coggin deserves a world of praise for the success which has attended his efforts to make the conference a big feature of the Negro's desire to assume a leading part in all the forward

Rev. Richard Henry Boyd Laid to Rest
Nashville, Tenn. Sept. 3—Nashville is on its knees. The death of Richard Henry Boyd has hit the very soul of our people here as no other happening at this time, could have done. In an unrestricted sense he was Nashville. He represented its finer aspects of character, its deeper traditional impulses, its thriving enterprise and its stronger determinations to hold a first place in all the attitudes of the race's aspirations to maintain a high position in the affairs of the nation.
His funeral services were held last Monday afternoon in the big hall of the Ryman Auditorium. It was attended by many of the most distinguished men in Tennessee and the country at large. Dr. L. L. Gambell of Austin, Tex., delivered the funeral oration and other short addresses were made by the Hon. John Bell Keeble, one of Nashville's distinguished jurists and Dr. I. J. VanNess, a prominent white Baptist minister of this city. Music for the occasion was provided by a chorus consisting of members of all the colored Baptist churches in the city. The remains will not be interred.
