Mays Gives Views Of Situation Chicago, IL, Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—"Where will the Negro mechanics who remained on their jobs during the recent strike get off at now that the strike has been settled?" is in the minds of all who have a slightly more than casual interest in the colored man and woman as skilled and unskilled workers in this country.

He believes that the Negro must be unusually alert at this time or else he Off For Deaf And Dumb School Tuesday night at the Central Depot a party of six little boys and girls attracted much attention. They were a happy, jolly bunch and were being given a nice send-off by their relatives and friends. It not an unusual thing for a party of this size to leave just at this time when all the school children are leaving for their respective schools. But this little bunch was some what different and because of this fact attracted much attention from everybody who happened to be at the depot. They were all deaf and dumb and were on their way to Cave Springs where they will enter the deaf and dumb school. The ages of these children ranged from seven to fourteen years and they were as happy as could be. The Savannah Tribune. SENATE FIGHTS LIBERIAN LOAN Measure Urged by Press Harding Washington, D. C., Sept. 19th (Presson News Service)—A heated fight developed in the Senate last Monday afternoon over the Administration measure proposing a loan of five million dollars to Liberia, a measure which passed the House last May, urged by President Harding and Secretary Hughes. A number of the Republicans declared the bill to be an inheritance from the Wilson administration. Senator Glass, who was secretary of the Treasury, under the Wilson regime during the Liberian loan negotiations, is said to oppose the measure. Senators McCumber and Curtis urged the passage of the bill, claiming that it is a moral obligation. Senator Borah said that the bill simply meant taking over Liberia by the United States and added that New York bankers who have made loans to Liberia would be the principal beneficiaries. Senator Glass said he did not concur with Mr. Lansing's views and added that $25,000 advanced to Liberia to enable the Liberian delegates to attend the Paris peace conference was the only war loan which "cannot be justified." Borah declared that, speculators had brought up claims against the Liberian government at 10 to 20 cents on the dollar with the expectation of payment from the $5,000,000 American fund. "I am not in favor of taking over Liberia and becoming a part of the imperial scheme of finance which is the curse bringing the world into another war," said Borah, adding that the bill proposed a salary roll of $95,000 annually for American commissioners to supervise the loan. Borah's twenty million dollar "rider" added to Liberian loan bill, adopted by Senate. This additional money to be used for reclamation projects in the west.

Conference in three-times-three wild cheers for William Pickens, at the conclusion of his address, while the whole audience stood up swared their handkerchiefs, and shouted their approval. Pickens was not there to speak on Garveyism, but on the educational interests of the Negro, but the Garvey gang made their great hustle when, either because they had been urged to do so from headquarters, or out of their usual blundering egotism, they encountered him at, the church entrance and fingering their hip-pockets, informed him that "a committee of us is hyrah tonight to see that you don't do any knocking, an' yer better tawk straight!"

C., is asking the Baptist to unite. She says: "Oh, that I had the influence—the pervasive kind—over Negro Baptists to get them, to see the wisdom of calling a great get-together meeting at a central place and praying three whole days for grace enough to unite the two wings of the National Baptist convention—Now. Second—We cannot do anything effectively as long as we stay apart. Third—The people (the masses) who have suffered most because of the split want us to get together. Fourth—Divided forces cannot command consideration and respect from the people. "This is the psychological moment. Brethren, will you hear the voice of a mere woman and lay down your arms and study war no more?" Negro Conference Makes Good Report Chicago, Ill., Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—Dr. F. M. Jones, Area Secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Church at New Orleans, La., in a communication to the Committee on Conservation and Advance said: "You, will be glad to know that we hold our first big meeting last night towards raising our $14,600 apportionment for the New Orleans Area. We succeeded in raising $2,075. We are planning to have the same kind of meeting at five or six other great centers in this area. The spirit of the Area is very fine, and every indication points to the fact that we will raise all our apportionment of the "I Will Maintain" fund." The Negro conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church are leading the other conferences in making good their promise in the Centenary fund of which originally there was subscribed $100,000,000, payable in five years, but on which there was a deficiency on payments this year of $2,000,000.

Bomb Found In Colored Factory New York, Sept. 16—Considerable excitement was caused Saturday, in the manufacturing district of New York by the finding of a bomb in the coal delivered to the manufacturing plant of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, makers of the Black Swan Records, at Meadow and Creek streets Long Island City. The bomb was of the shrapnel type, heavily loaded and capped and capable of blowing up the entire plant. The fireman discovered the bomb after it was in his shovel and just as he was about to plunge it into the furnace. A moment later and there would have been nain explosion that wold have wrecked the boilers and damaged the plant, probably killing or injuring the twenty-five employees working there. Investigation was made by the bomb squad of the police department and the fire department. Just where the bomb came from could not be ascertained as the Pace Phonograph Company uses nearly thirty tons of coal Cleanses and Purifies Giant Lye CUT grease and dirt with Giant Lye.

It is presumed that the bomb was put into the coal by some one connected with the goal miners strike. The officials of the company were alarmed at first test. It were the work of competitors, who were seeking to destroy their business in Black Swan Records, the sale of which has been so seriously felt by the white companies that make phonograph records. The Daily News carried a picture of the bomb which was of an unusually large size. 24th Infantry To Be 4th Infantry To Be Stationed In Georgia El Paso, Texas, Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—The Twenty Fourth Infantry is preparing to move from New Mexico to Georgia, Camp Furlong, at Columbus, N.

Rural Meetings Mobile, Ala. Sept. 16—T. M. Campbell, U. S. field agent for Negro extension work in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Oklahoma, headquarters at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. in company with Harry Simmons state agent for Negro men in Alabama, and C. M. Kynette state club agent for Negro boys has been making a tour of inspection recently visiting Concord county, holding meetings on September 11th at Nichburg and Nymph districts, where there are large settlements owned by Negroes. On the 12th they visited Mobile county speaking at the Roenwald schoolhouse at Grand Bay in the afternoon and at night at Plateau Training School on invitation of Prof. L. T. Whitley, Principal. On the 14th Clarke county was visited, the meeting being held at the M. Zion Baptist church, near Grove Hill where an audience of representative farmers and members of home demonstration club attended. The white county agent and health officer of the district attended and spoke on saving the soil and health measures, respectively Wilcox and Dallas counties were also visited with similar meetings. The local demonstration agents called the farm folk together at these meetings Prof. Campbell, who was the first Negro demonstration agent under the auspices of the U. S. Department of Agriculture led the various audiences in singing Negro melodies. He made a heart-to-heart talk to his folk on the necessity of just coming together or as to understand one another. He said this coming together of rural folk was all the more necessary since they had not the facilities for such a purpose as town and city folks had. It was necessary that they understood each other better and advised the adoption of a slogan similar to that used in a part of the west where the people lived so far apart from each other at one time: "Get acquainted with your neighbor, you might like him." He dwelt upon selfishness as a cause of the misunderstanding between individuals as well as races, and gave instances in real life showing how common troubles bring people together.

DEVEAUX Entrated at the Post Office at Savannah Ga., as second class matter. PUBLISHER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL PRIORITY FIRST IN SERVICE COMMENDS TRIBUNE EDITORIAL "Detroit, Mich. Sept. 18, 1922 "The Savannah Tribune, 1009 West Broad Street, Savannah, Ga. "Dear Editor: "Permit me to commend you for your timely editorial which appeared in the Tribune, dated September 14th, entitled, "An Appeal for Baptist Union." You pointed out the fact that Drs. Boyd and Morris were the outstanding figures in the Baptist denomination, commented briefly on the loss sustained by our denomination, then came the statement that should ring in the herds of all baptists. Their death should cause the members of each faction to ponder seriously and decide to reunite their forces." If all our editors would advocate re-union as you have done, we would soon have one big National Baptist Convention. "God will not always chide." Every Baptist, whether minister or layman, should preach the gospel of re-union until it is ours. One big convention representing nearly three million marching as an invincible army could do much in bringing the race into its own, and carrying out the spirit of the prayer of the Master—"That all be one." There are those who favor the two conventions and are working to maintain them, but as long as I am able to utter a word or write a line, I shall oppose those who do so. "Your paper comes each week to the Baptist Christian Center here, and is read with much delight by mathy. I hope you live long to serve humanity in a commendable manner as you are now doing. "Yours for peace and reunion, Lee T. Clay." OPENING OF SCHOOL Monday, morning another grind of nine months' schooling begins and with it will come hundreds of little souls who for the first time in the lives are entering upon the preparatory stage of their life's work while thousands of others who have already had a taste of school days, will resume their studies. It is an important day in the lives of children, this first day of school, and should be of no less import to those of us who outside of the school, room have in our care the destiny of these children. In school work as in everything else, a good beginning means much toward the future success of a child's school career. Therefore, it is imperative that every child be on hand at the opening day of school. It is necessary that they begin the year's work on the first day of school and thereby get a good start. The value of the first day's work cannot be overstated and because of the vital importance of every child being present on Monday morning when the doors of the new school term are thrown open we should urge every parent to do his utmost to have his child at school on that day, and have him there on time, too: We do not believe that too much emphasis can be laid on this matter. We should have this subject brought before the public from every pulpit on Sunday; it should be one of the important notices to be stressed by every minister at his services both morning and night. It is an all important matter at this time of the year and we are inclined to believe that if this is done we shall have a proper turning out of the young folk on Monday morning. Every child of school age must be put into the schools and he should be there on the first day. It is not only necessary that we get these children in school on opening day but it is also equally as important that we keep them there during the entire year. Unfortunately during the past few years we have noticed a tendency on the part of many of our children to drop out of school as the school year progressed. It is truly to be regretted that this failure to keep our children in school has been so pronounced here of late and we feel that we should do everything in our power to combat this tendency. It is not only imperative that we have our children start, the school, term right but fully as important that they remain in school throughout the whole year. We have been allowing too many frivolous excuses to stand in the way of our children continuing in school during the whole term. By so doing we have been a stumbling block to their future progress. The world today is looking for well prepared men and women, the kind that is trained, and unless we encourage our children to secure all the training which it is possible for them to obtain we shall find them unable to fill those stations in life which are worthwhile. It is necessary, therefore, that we impress upon our children the necessity of taking advantage of every educational opportunity which may be presented to them. It is up to us to guide them aright and a good way to begin this is to put them in school on opening day and keep them there throughout the whole term. EDITORIAL EXCERPTS MUCH UNREST IN MACON I have been watching the after effect of lynching for a number of years but I have never seen one that stirred the people as the lynching of Glover of this city. The conservative ones of us have tried to quietly tell the people that things will soon come around alright but it seems to have no bearing whatever! The people claim that their only defense is to get away. For a number of years our people have been going north but they were composed, of the common large carriers. But today, we notice that, the business and professional men of the race have become upset and are looking for better places where they can live out of a daily fear of having to pay the death penalty for some law breaker of the race. We regret very much to give up our own Dr. Moore who left a few days ago to take up residence in Detroit, Michigan. All of us who have decided to struggle through in Macon are grieved to give up our life long friends! Butenc persuasion appeals to them. My God, low song will it be before justice and righteousness will take hold of our fair city and the South in general with her many ministers, churches and schools? None of our people wanted to leave and would not leave if they could be made to feel that their life is safe and were given a man's chance in the affairs of his city and state. The next rung that is painful to the Negro is that the best law abiding citizen so often have to suffer the consequence of the most degraded and criminal of our race. Node of us know what to do for the best, but it is alarming to hear the ministers and leaders stand and plead with the people, telling them to wait until the storm is over. There have been so many storms and tornadoes until it has almost unroofed everything in the Negro that gives him hope for a better day in the South for his children. My experience has taught me that in everything there is a reaction. Mob violence, lynching and burning, will cease some day, though it be ere long. God is not dead and the big-hearted white man that has respect for the word of God and pleads justice to all mankind will some day speak out and take a stand right here in the South. It must be understood that in a great measure, we ourselves will have to change conditions by developing man and woman hood. Have hope in ourselves, build up our own enterprises, put down those who are traitors among us and seek to destroy our fair sex. It is to be regretted that we have so much of this stuff among us. If the truth were made known some of these men are our best dressed men of the race and stand high in society. May God speed the time when we will have the manly courage, man and womanhood to advertise and ostracise this class of men and help by our own effort to change conditions. A great number of our people are dissatisfied over the educational conditions. This condition can and will be improved if we will do our duty by opening our mouths and let the board of education know that we want better school plants and better educational facilities in general. Have them know that we want a real high school where our children can be prepared for college as those they have for themselves. Let them know that we want better county school houses and teachers and then our people cannot be driven from the South, the place for which we are best fitted. But if the Negro is not given these things, with the assurance of the protection of life there is no persuasion that will satisfy his troubled breast—Georgia Baptist. OUR GIRLS—WOMEN OUR DUTY We must keep our girls pure and our boys-noble. Our first duty is to Madam Ida B. Jefferson, A Widow Evangelist 10th Episcopal Dist. A. M. E. Church. North Texas matters will be answered. Send ten cents in stamps for reply—Madam Jefferson has discovered a wonderful hair restorative. It grows hair-on bald heads. Agents wanted. She teaches the art. For consultation other than sickness, send two ($2.00) dollars, and if you take treatment, this will go on your bill. our children. We must teach them and inspire them by the example of our own morality. We must make them know that when they lose their honor, they lose the first rung in theiradder to success and happiness. We must teach them not only to have personal purity and self-control, but also ambition and face pride. That without these qualities there can be no future for them. We must tell them of the great accomplishments and things contributed by the black race in America and the rest of the country to the world's history and civilization. They should be told of the black soldiers' vital part in every war; of the poor, colored boys and girls who have risen by dint of struggle and sacrifice to be men and women whom the world has been glad to honor. We should impress upon them the fact that colored men and women who try to live, by their fine clothes and good looks, and who use their wits in misdirected channels and who spend their days in loafing and nights in carousing, invariably turn out failures and disgraces to themselves and the community in which they live. Girls from 13 to 18 years of age cannot live in a community and contribute to the uplift of their race by prowling up and down the streets at nights, dodging in and out questionable alleys and places, and swinging upon the arms of boys. Woe be unto us as a race collectively, as it is individually, when we fail to recognize and reserve the virtue of our girls and women. "Honesty is the best politer." "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."—Exchange. FOUL LANGUAGE ON THE STREETS Duty are common comment, while earnest courses are flavored by term of reproach and objurgation that should blister the tongues that utter them. Not only are such terms heard proceeding from members of the male sex, but not infrequently women are among the worst offenders. Language of such character as can be heard upon some of the principal thoroughfares of Harlem is a reproach to any community. It it may be regarded as an index to the character of the person using it they should be sent to a reformatory for corrective discipline. In the old days New Jersey provided a ducking stool for scolds and shrews, who could not be cured of their propensity for tongu-lashing by any other means. Some such corrective is easily needed in parts of Harlem today. The use of foul language in public places stands the person using it as a bad character disregardful of the common decencies of society and a disturcer of the public peace. An assault on bad language is only one degree less lawless than an assault by bodily violence. The aggressor in both cases should be bound over to keep the peace. If any sense of shame remained in the individual who uses the language complained of, it might be appealed to stop the flood of vengeance and pro-family that issues from their lips. But they are probably dead to any appeal of that kind and ignorant of the degree of their offense. The only force that could appeal to their hardened senses would be the force of the law. Let the police add to their many duties the task of restraining this flow of public profanity and vulgar language.—Aig. THE LORD'S SUNDAY Baltimore, M. D., Sept 18—Catholic leaders interested in the Negro are behind a movement to train colored men for the priesthood and have them work in the South. Sacred Heart College at Bay St. Louis, Mo., was established for this purpose by the Fathers of the Society of the Divine Word in 1920. Twenty-six young colored men are now there preparing for the priesthood. The college is now making an appeal for funds St. Anthony's Mission House at Highwood, N. J., is making an appeal for funds to help educate colored priests for Georgia, where there are over 1,000,000 Negroes. It is under the direction of the Fathers of Lyons. There are two colored students at Epiphany Apostolic College which prepares for St. Joseph's Seminary. The seminary is under the control of the Josephite Fathers and no colored students have been ordained from there since Father Slattery was superior. Father C. R. Ungles, a teacher at Epiphany Apostolic College; Father J. Henry Dorsey, in charge of St. Montica's parish, this city; Father Stephen Theobald-pastor of a church in St. Paul, and Father J. Harry Burgess, of Philadelphia, are now the only colored priests in the United States. Negro Pastors Helping Improve Conditions Washington, D.C., Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—Practical suggestions for the improvement of farming methods and living conditions in farm homes in their districts are being given by 100 Negro pastors and preaching elders in Alabama, Georgia, and neighboring States who attended a three-week school of methods held at Gammon Theological Seminary, Althus, Ga., in May and June, as reported to the United States Department of Agriculture. The school program included a series of effective demonstrations by extension workers from Tuskegee Institute, Ala., who conduct movable school programs in the rural districts of Alabama. The pastors attending the Athos school were given instruction in soil management, crop production, farm arpentry, including the making of home conveniences, poultry, keeping care of gardens and fruit, proper methods of cooking food preservation, sanitation, and home nursing. According to reports received by the department, these pastors are putting on similar demonstrations in their communities and at conferences of rural pastors in their districts. Arrest Three Following Poison Report Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 20th (Pres on News Service) John Nophrin, aged 41 years, of Baltimore, Md., a orter employed by the Pennsylvania altoad company, is in the Allegheny general hospital, authorities say, from resident poisoning, and three other m employees of the company, were arrest following the uncovering of an legal poison plot early Thursday morning. The men arrested are Sandy Wilson, aged 30 years, chief in the railroad commissary department: Robert Suggs, aged 31 years, of Kentucky, and Walter Williams, aged 23 years, of Pittsburgh, waiters at the commissary. The authorities arrested Wilson, Suggs, and Williams after they sent Nophrin to the hospital. Physicians attending Nophrin at the hospital said they suspected arsenic poisoning, but they could not be certain until a further diagnosis can be made.

According to the chief of detectives, Wilson, in the presence of Suggs and Williams, made a threat last Tuesday night to poison Nophrin. Nophrin is reported to have eaten at the commissary on Wednesday night. Shortly afterward he became violently ill, and when the detectives were called to investigate he is said to have told them of the alleged threat to poison him, the arrests followed. Wilson, Suggs and Williams were questioned at length following their arrest. Aside from denying the accusation that they conspired to poison Nophrin, none of the three men would make a statement, the detective said. Following a hearing before Magistrate Sullivan in Central Police Court on Friday morning, Suggs and Williams were discharged, when it was shown that they had no connection with the alleged poisoning of Nophrin. Wilson was remanded to jail without bail to await the result of Nophrin's illness. MRS.

Risher, colored, formerly of Jackson, Mississippi, has just been awarded a prize of one thousand dollars by the United States Government for offering the best method and plans for making and keeping the records of the navy. Mr. Risher began as a messenger in the navy department about 12 years ago at $50.00 per month, but by diligent effort he has worked himself up to be chief of the Muster Roll Division of the United States Navy. The method of keeping the records of the navy heretofore have practically been those used by the navy sixty years ago, but the great increase of the navy brought about by the World War made the old plans wholly unadapted to the navy's great increase. Mr. Risher had given this subject special study for some time, and there fore called attention of the naval heads to the fact that he could suggest methods that would greatly receive the situation. So the Board of Admirals offered a prize of one thousand dollars to any one who might offer the best improved method. One hundred and five naval officers submitted plans and competed. The board of Admirals sat for more than a week and heard the different methods explained and finally adopted the Risher plan.

Mr. Nall brought the matter to the attention of the Bankers' Insurance Co., early in the fall of 1921, making a trip South to confer with the controlling interests of the Great Southern, at which time he had a conference with L. E. Williams and other directors and officers of the Great Southern. A conference was finally arranged between representatives of the two companies. This conference was held in Georgia during the month of August, resulting in the merger of the two companies. The company hopes to begin business in Virginia at an early date. COLORED BANKERS AFTER HAITIAN LOAN (Continued from Page One) offers at 50 Wall street; New York City. All business will be transaction through the colored banks and each bank has been asked to assist in the underwriting of the project. A small block of stock, however, will be available to the general public. This is practically the first time that clored banks have had a opportunity to depart from the usual real estate and mortgage business and enjoy the huge profits common among white banking institutions engaged in the promotion of international commerce and the colored bankers have not been slow to take advantage of the situation. That the new companies are being operated by trained business men after the most approved modern business methods is indicated by the brilliant moves made so far and by the roster of its officials which include the names of such widely known and capable men as Charles D. Mitchell, president, and also president of the Mutual Savings and Loan Co. of Charleston, W. Va., Anthony Crawford, vice president and manging director, a ship operator and importer and exporter of long experience; Major William H.

Mr. Cohn asserted to the proposition. Funds were furnished by the District of Columbia branch for the transportation of Keller to his home in Summerville S. C. 1600 STUDENTS AT TUSKEGEE (Continued from Page One) new students began Friday morning, Sept 5th, and at the close of the first week of registration there were yet many on the campus who had not been able to register and others are coming in on every train. The enrollment this year is expected to reach the 2,000 mark. Among the students who have enrolled this year are representatives of every southern state, of several northern and western states, of Africa, South America, Central America and the Phillipine Islands. The students from the foreign countries, in the main have come to take advantage of the splendid agricultural course offered by the Taskeegee Institute. On Thursday evening at the regular chapel exercises the teachers and students listened to a splendid address delivered by Mr Isaac Fisher, editor of the University News, Fisk University, Nashville, Teen. Mr. Fisher, who is a graduate and a former instructor of Tuskegee Institute urged the students to use those things which they held in their hands. (Continued from Page One) to which Edward C. Morris had returned had been thrown on his sacred remains that any thought began to crystallize in the minds of many present as to the man to whom they should turn to take up the mantle. he had so worthily worn through a long period of years. Then it was that the thought of "who is there to take his place" began to take shape and there began a quiet survey of the figures among the great men of the organization in a first effort to determine who was worthy to fill his place. It was then that interest began to center around the modest, though dignified, personality of Lacey K. Williams, the successful pastor of the noted Olivet Baptist church of Chicago. Quite true, it is that when some one quietly mentioned to him something of the likelihood that he might be chosen to succeed the late and fancied leader of the church as its official head, Dr. Williams forcibly entered a firm disclaimer that he had any ambitions in that direction. But the impression that he is among the more available for the place continues to gain ground in this section of the country. The thought of the leadership falling upon his person had gained considerable headway before all of the great concourse of folks attending the funeral of Dr. Morris had made their departure for their respective homes. Helena is still talking about it. This interesting situation has inspired some inquiries concerning the personalities and the work accomplished by Dr. Williams during the years affecting his career as a minister of the Baptist faith. The inquiries reveal that his ministerial history is rich in Christian achievement and highly productive in those aspects which provide for the material welfare of the church and its people. He has been eminently successful. He has been persistently progressive. He has been unwaveringly Christian. And in that portion of his ministerial life that marks his presence in the great City of Chicago his achievements touch at all points the realms of the truly marvelous. Dr. Lacey K. Williams has been the pastor of the Chicago Olivet Baptist church very close to seven years. He founded an organization, the roster of which contained names something around the 3,600 mark. It now numbers 10,112 names. This means that this Negro Baptist organization is the largest Protestant church organization in the city of Chicago, if not in the entire nation. In addition to the big religious program planned and carried out through the supervision of Dr. Williams there is an active and large social program maintained by the Olivet organization. This feature includes a Kindergarten for children in which Negro kindergarten teachers provide the instructions; Day Nursery in which the babies of working mothers, without regard to race or color, are cared for when the women are at their daily toll; a working girl's home; a musical department in which a more than capable singing association is maintained; a Boys Scouts' auxiliary that rank among the best in the "Windy City;" a young Men's Social Unit; a married ladies' club; a temperance and a charity department; a free employment bureau; a health bureau through which the health of the poor and needy are simply provided for, and other activities which the limitation of space prevent the special mention about. During the slightly more than six years of work in his present field Dr. Williams has received and directed the successful handling of more than $87,281. While it is a matter of fact that Helena can have no more than a very general interest in the future of Dr. Williams, nevertheless, it comes as a question of very special interest to this section of the country, which was the scene of Dr. Edward C. Morris's great religious and material triumphs, to be more than casually interested in the man who may be among those to be mentioned as his likeliest successor. Lacey K. Williams happens to be among that number. The available facts touching upon his striking and marvelous success establishes him, in the opinion of Helena, as a man who could creditably fill the place of the lamented and much beloved man who now rests in his last sleep in a shaded and beautiful corner of our local cemetery.

"Balance of power," threatening im- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1922 When you want that Good Gulf Gasoline and Supreme Oils, Accessories, Cold Drinks, Groceries, Cigars, Notions, etc, See J. E. ZEALEY Augusta Road and Bay Street Extension --- ment and actual is the new "Bogie" and possibly the last straw upon which the "Negro Domination" fear of the South feels obliged to cling to. Added to this is the fact that the Negro is beginning "to feel his outs" whatever that might mean. Perhaps this can be understood best by keeping in mind that the Negroes in Virginia paid the expenses of their contesting delegates to the 1920 convention of Chicago. Coupling this bit of political history with the information that they financed and conducted their own campaign in the governorship fight one can get a pretty fair idea why the potential political power of the Negro is fast becoming a matter of somewhat serious concern. There is no question of doubt that the Virginia Negro is "mad" all over. His wealth is increasing by leaps and bounds. This new possession is giving him a fine sense of social and political responsibility. He is beginning to determine the importance of matters in his own fashion and after his own manner of thinking. "Grante Tom" is as dead as four door mails. It is being recognized by even the holder and more radical elements among the Negroes in this state that the finish product of Negro citizenship is not wholly here at the present time. "But he is far advanced in the making." They assert. "We don't want Social Intimacy. What we are after is Noelic Independence, Political Duality, Bonoule Duality, and by all that's fair or foul, finally we are going to have all of these things." Very revealing, it must be allowed. In another direction it can be pointed out also that the independent Negro vote officially counted to 25,000 in the last Virginia State election. Actually it was approximately more than 50,000. This is the 'challance of power' boggiq搡ing about the field of Old Virginia kicking up a considerable and disconcerting amount of real political dust. And it brings to the front that quite startling economic fact that a dollar carefully' directed will have its social and political way whether it comes from the pocket of a black or a white. And this is where the show probably pinches the tightest What is pazzling the thinking Negro is how he is going to take his rightful place effectively and to general benign ends. Settling this to his satisfaction the next step will be the assumption of those places and that responsibility which will enable him to become a beneficial factor in each of the nation's endeavors to maintain a supreme Democracy on the Western Hemisphere. The congressional elections are upon us. The Petersburg district is owed by every right of a legal and political majority. It can not be won this fall. In 1922, however, look for a hot fight in that section of the State. Stump is eliminated. His disappearance from the open political dead is probably all that the Negro vote can reasonably expect at this time. It was a big moral victory that put him out of the political running. It has apparently heartened the Negro and urged him to a continuance of his fight for an honorable position as a citizen in the great State of Virginia. In the meantime these "balance of power" figures came along at the right moment. They have given "pop" to our thinking. NEGRO MECHANICS MUST BE ALERT (Continued from Page One) will lose whatever he has apparently gained by reason of the shifting eventualities of the recent unpleasantness. He lays special stress on the "seniority" aspects of the situation. His reasons are shaped by the assumed fact that the Negroes who stayed on the job established their "seniority" in the sense designated by the unions themselves—veteran service as against young service. He also calls attention to the fact that the several hundred thousands of colored men and women employed by the railways are shopman maintenance of way and freight handlers, station, and warehouse laborers. While a goodly number of these people went out with the strikers the majority stuck to the job. According to the argument advanced by President Mays here is where they got the "seniority" jump on the strikers. "Organizing of the Negroes" is the stern necessity of the moment as seen by Mr. Mays. "First it must be recognized," said the President of the Colored Men's International Association, "that the bulk of the several hundred thousand colored men and women in the railway service are composed of shopmen, maintenance of way and the so-called railway clerks which means largely freight handlers, station and warehouse laborers." "Second, people of our group are these various crafts. The significance employed in largest numbers in the South-eastern and South-western sections of the country. "Third, the Federated Shop Craft unions recently or now on strike do not take colored men and women into membership. "Fourth, there is on most roads a natural majority of white workers in of this is that under established rules of labor practices, a majority of the employees of any craft, on any road, have the right to make the going rates of pay or the general conditions of work by agreement with the respective management of the Labor Board. Analyzing the forgoing facts and taking into consideration the amount of color prejudice that was shown prior to the strike, plus the fact that an unbelievable number of Negro employees were out with the white men, it is important to warn and to urge Negro employees to organize among themselves for several of many objections." Porters, waiters, and cooks, who form the bulk of the colored people in the railway service in the North, were not visibly affected by the strike and therefore not immediately related to the situations provoked into life by its intensive struggles. But their position in the determinations of the questions at general issue appear to be fixed by the "touch one you touch all" dictum of the present day spirit of the "Union" organizations. Hence, they are being urged to mobilize and stick by their guns in every controversy affecting the service and their wages. The organization spirit seems to have made considerable headway among the colored men in these branches of the railway service. Actual antagonism to the admission of Negroes in the railway unique has crystallized it is asserted, to the danger point so far as the Negro's antifallation with those unions is concerned. Open and firm avowal of this attitude is being assumed in all directions. There is no half heartedness whatsoever, in connection, "No Negroes need apply." is unquestionably in the minds of all the union organizations attached to the railway service. This must be met, it is declared by many colored men and women in the service, by counter organization. This organization to work in, unison with other union organizations where ever such action will be made to serve the common good and the common wel fare. This is a protective measure taken with the view to putting a stop to the practice of using the Negro as a buffer between white discontented labor and the owners of the various railway companies. "If the Negroes are good enough to fill major and minor positions in the service during the periods of strikes they are fully good enough, to receive sanitary recognition when there are no strikes in sight, appears to be the condition reached by Negroes in the service present. Hence, the Tahoe idea is galvanizing friends among the Negro elements of railway workers. President Mays of the Railway Men's International Association sums up this further phase of the situation as follows: "We are not anticipating that the white unions will take the many thousand colored men into membership. Consequently, at our annual convention in Chicago, the last Tuesday of this month, we hope to have representatives present from a majority of the shops throughout the country where colored men are employed, in order that a policy of future action might be outlined. It is hoped the future relations between white and colored workers will be improved as a result of the position taken by the colored men during the strikes erased." ATTTEMPTS TO IN- TIMIDATE PICKENS (Continued from Page One) straight." The first thing he did was to turn right there on the church steps and say to the "committee" every thing that is permissible at a church entrance, and some of those who were listening say that for one or two minutes he must have imagined himself about ten thousand miles from the nearest church. It got so hot for the "committee" that they actually sneaked into the church ahead of the Pickens party, in order to escape from what they had started. When the speaker took the platform, he informed the Bishops and Conference that he had not had in mind so much as to even mention "Garveyism" but that the "bunch of cowards" whom he encountered at the door made it necessary for him to pay his respect to them before he took up his main al --- RECORD 10-INCH DOUBLE-DISC - 75c Sung by TRIXIE SMITH Winner of the NATIONAL BLUES SINGING CONTEST Your Dealer Will Be Glad to Play This and Other Black Swan Records for You NEW RECORDS EVERY MONTH dress.

He said that he is but mortal man like other men and that the blade or the bullet of the biggest coward could kill, but that all of them rolled into one could not scare him. People of all climes and colors like good red blood, and the audience was loud for the speaker—except the disgruntled and snilking "committee" on the back spats. No enthusiasm was the demonstration at the conclusion that the "committee" improved the opportunity to slip out unjustified and vanish in the darkness. One woman said she had invested one thousand dollars in the "Back Star Line." The speaker told her to "throw a kiss at it." She also said she had risked five hundred dollars on the other "interprises."

School opens September 28th, 1922 Proposed One Yera Suspension Of Cotton Washington, D. C., Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—The proposal for one year suspension of cotton planting in the United States as a means of eliminating the boll weevil was suggested in the senate by Senator Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, who predicted wholesale abandonment of cotton farms throughout the South unless government action was taken to aid in destruction of the parasite. The South Carolina senator announced he had written to the chief entomologist of the department of agriculture asking that a study be made to determine whether a year's lay-off in cotton growing would eradicate the weevil. He said the entomologist had expressed in a telephone conversation today the belief that such action would destroy the post. Garvey Representatives of the United States At League of Nations Genera, Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—A contingent of colored people representing Marcus A. Garvey "provisional President of Africa" appeared before the League of Nations today and demanded that it grant to the colored world a mandate for South Africa. The spokesman of the party were Jean Joseph Adam, a Haytian, and Lee Van Sherrill, of New York. They declared that the colored would demonstrate their ability to run a government if the league granted them authority to do so. The New York spokesman said that the delegation was acting under the authority of the United Negro Congress, recently held in that city. The league secretary acknowledged receipt of the petition. Dr. Wilmer Attacks Mob Violence Portland, Ore. Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—An attack upon mob violence was made in a resolution introduced today in the house of deputies of the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church, by Rev C. B. Wilmer, Atlanta, Ga. Though refusing to say that he had aimed the resolution at the Ku Klux Klan, whose headquarters are in his home city, Dr. Wilmer said in bringing the matter before the convention: Any organization based on a definition of Americanism which excludes certain races or religions must devise prejudices or antagonisms toward persons of those religions or rates, and any organization which proposed and profess to back up the law by secret methods and whose membership is not known must inevitably encourage, both against its own membership and among outsiders, the taking of the law into one's own hands and ultimately the use of such an organization for purposes of private revenge. The resolution asked that the church place itself on record as "looking with abstinence upon all forms of mob violence, as constituting not only a menace to law and order and endanger ing the very existence of government itself but as contrary to the revealed word of God." Rural Inspector For Negro Schools St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—It costs something to be a Negro. In the last session of the State Legislation, when the gold brick was handed the colored people in an appropriation which turned out to be no appropriation for Lincoln University, a law was proposed providing for a Rural Inspector for Negro Schools. It was understood the law provided that the salary was to be $2,400 per annum, the same as is paid for white inspectors. At that time the State Superintendent of Public Schools Sam A. Baker, now a candidate for reelection for a term of four years, let it be known that there were no funds available for such an officer's pay. Pressure was brought to bear, however, and Prof. C. G. Williams of Boonville was given the position. Humors have been persistent that Williams was not being paid $2,400 per like the other inspectors, though the colored people have enforced their appreciation of the fact such a plate was created. A glance at the Ouial Manual of the State for the year 1912-1922 Board ..... $7.00 per mo. 1st and 3rd Gades ..... .50 per mo. 4th and 5th Grades ..... .75 per mo. 6th and 7th Grades ..... 1.00 per mo. Above th, 7th ..... 1.50 per mo. shows that the white inspectors, high school and rural, fire in number, all receive the legal $2,400 per annum, but Mr. Williams, the Negro rural inspector is credited with receiving $1,570. This is what Baker's office is doing toward making the Negro's place inferior, and this is a part of the program of the last two years which was commended at the Springfield Republican Convention and which the voters are asked to endorse in November. Someone is asking a good deal. A certain very influential Negro leader in finance has been, so we are informed, keeping the trail hot to his Honor, the Mayor's office attempting to take some political chestnuts out of the fire. This person does not have to depend on politics for a living, has a competence, yet it seems he likes the emolument he can get one for the sake of some imaginary prestige he imagines it will give him. He is said to frequently use his large car to ride influential (?) colored politicians about seeking to get this fat appointment which has yet to show on the political horizon: The question uppermost in people's minds is what he would do with a real representative place if he was offered one. Two years ago the Democratic platform included a plank in substance much the same as the one adopted by the Republicans at Springfield this year. The G. O. P. leaders gave us to understand we could not secure in the belief they would do the right thing by us. Examples of what has actually been done is the kind of treatment our Negro Rural Inspector of schools has received as to salary in comparison with white rural inspectors, letting down the Negro Industrial Commission with an inadequate appropriation and the buneomb appropriation for Lincoln University carried in the Bloglett Senate Bill which has denied the school half a million dollars the people thought would be forthcoming. The plank this year too, had to be demanded; that acts in its fulfilment will have to be more than demanded and then some is probably beyond question. The plank reads, "For the Negroes of the State we favor, in addition to liberty and adequate appropriation for Lincoln University, a sanitarium for the tubercular, separate bones reformatory, home for the feeble minded, establishment of an agricultural experiment station in connection with Lincoln University, and the establishment of a sufficient number of public schools for the Negroes that every child of the race may have the opportunity to attend." Liberian Loan Having A Rocky Road Washington, D. C. Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—The Liberian Loan is having a rocky road to travel through the Senate. The Democrats are, of course, against its provisions. To this opposition has been added the courts of Senator Borah to hang onto the measure a reclamation clause that will take in projects that provide for the reclamation of certain sections in the far West. From the Republic of Haifa come an invitation to American bankers to present bids on a contemplated issue of $16,000,000 of external bonds of series A of the $40,000,000 loan provided in the protocol of October 2, 1919, between Haifa and the United States. While the colored Republics are not apparently, in high favor in the minds of the average American statesman. The Haitian holds will be sold here. There is small doubt that the Liberian Loan stands a slight chance of being favored. The reason for this situation is the greater distance of the African Republic from America. On the other hand, Haiti is really productive and aside from the "color angel" offers a more profitable field for exploitation than any sister republic across the seas. Senator Glass of Virginia and Senator Watson are the most open opponents of the loan measures, although Senator Borah of Idaho is being used of attempting to bring their defeat by saddling his western reclamation measures. It is not at this time known what will be their separate lates. Close observers appear to believe that they have small chance of adoption. Dressmaking .. 1.00 per mo. Cooking .. .. .. 1.00 per mo.

Clattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 18th (Prairie News Service)—Speaking before the Registry Club here Friday afternoon Attorney William B. Swaney chairman of the American Fair Association's committee on Law Enforcement, declared, "The criminal situation in the United States so far as violence is concerned is worse than in any other civilized country. "The remedy for this appalling condition is to be found in the return to decent living under self-control and respect for the laws of the land." During the course of his speech he cried acts attributed to the "Ladies of the Invisible Eyes", in Texas and the crimes of molh violence in Birmingham in speaking of violation of Law, "Americans hold the life of a man too cheap. Upon the slightest provocation men feel they are impelled to take the law into their own hands. This sort of conduct is contrary to the fundamental principles of government and this wholesale disrespect for law and order presages the downfall of any government." Negro Gardner Produces A New Mango Washington, D. C., Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press) - Hozekiah Brooks Negro gardener and fruit grower of Miami, Fl., recently announced the successful conclusion of his attempt to produce a new variety of mango. It is claimed that the result is destined to fill a gap in the fruit calendar in the Southern section of the country. This is due to the fact as claimed by Brooks that the fruit ripens between November and January, a period during which the mango is not to be found in that market. The Brooks Mango is similar to the Mulgoba in appearance and texture, but is declared to be superior to that variety in flavor. Some experts promote it a cross of the Mulgoba and Sandash. Some of the new mangoes have been presented to connec' antifragities on horticulture, and some have been sent to the Department of Agriculture at Washington.

MEMPHIS DAILY TELLS, STORY OF NEGRO EDUCATION Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 20th (Associated Negro Press)—And this is the way one of the Memphis dailies tells the story of Negro education: "The backclosing field of scawy white cotton now is about demoralizing the rural Negro schools in attendance. So many of the Negro students at the county institutions have felt the call of the cotton bag and boll that the board of education deems it necessary to close the schools temporarily on Friday, September 8, it was announced yesterday. "The board took this step as an alternative to enforcing the state's compulsory school attendance law. Members of the board believes the Negroes are needy badly in the cotton fields, and can accomplish much for the economic condition of this section by dragging a bag between the rows as by enforced attendance at school, and consequently causing a labor shortage. "The board will decide at its meeting early in October the date for the re-opening of the Negro schools. About 7,000 students are affected by the closing order."

SPORING NEWS "STALLER" OF THE AGE New York City, Sept. 20th (Preston News Service)—It is amazing with the audacity with which Jack Dempsey continues his game of stalling in order to dodge meeting worthy opponents. The public is rapidly growing tired of this sort of conduct on the part of the title holder and sport writers in all quarters of the country are beginning to say so. Indicative of the general concensus of opinion among the fair minded writers in the large white dailies throughout the country Harry J. Boyle, sporting editor of the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph has the following to say under the caption of "Dempsey's Main Rivals are Miske and Wills": Prospective opponents for Dempsey are Wills, Miske, Greb, Carpentier, Firpo, Brennan, Willard. Jack Johnson and Beckett, and according to Fred Keats, the eastern sharp, they rank in something like that order. The man Dempsey shows the least desire to incet is Wills, who ranks first. The man Dempsey has expended the most energy in chasing after Is Brennan, who ranks down near the bottom of the decidedly weak list, Jesse Willard, another helpless contender, also comes in for a great deal of attention from the champion, as does Firpo, a novice, and Beckett, worse than a novice. As a matter of fact, Dempsey figures to beat them all, includ- the Wills, but it is rather strange that he his so little to say about the men the public would have him meet, and is so anxious to tackle those who could not force him to get up a good sweat. It is true that Dempsey has been forced to talk of a Wills match a great deal of late, but he has never shown any real pleasure in the prospect, even though the fight is likely to met him a half million. For months he tried his hardest to discourage talk of that match. He threw every possible obstacle in the way, at the same time doing his best to appear willing. As a last resort he demanded a guaranty of $50,000 and the money posted in advance. Dempsey should beat Wills because the champion is a much better boxer, is a shorter, faster, more accurate bitter and can stand up under more punishment. All Wills has shown is great strength and a wild wallop. He is never sure of hitting anything until he gets hold with one hand so that his victim cannot move out of the war. As Wills is best of the Negroes, so Miske is best of the whites. It would not be fair to roast Dempsey for passing up a man he knocked out so easily the last time they met. On the most of things Dempsey deserves credit for leaving the man from St. Paul alone. Yet it is a well known fact that Miske is the best of the white contenders. It also is a fact that he twice went the full distance with Dempsey and that he was a sick man at the time Dempsey knocked him out. Today Miske is a far better fighter than he was when he stood Dempsey off in a 10 and six round bout. Yet Dempsey has announced that he is going to Europe to find action. Why does he run away from American stores where he can get all the action he wants. Some are so bold as to say that Dempsey knows that he would be taking to great a chance at loosing the title if he went into the ring with either Wills or Miske and therefore he does not desire any real American action, especially with Wills or Miske. Dempsey and his wily manager, Jack Kearns, are after the money—Public he damned—and they are about cook sure that either Wills or Miske might land a few wallops and put them out of the money. So they continue to hunt for set-ups in order to garner in the shekels. The American public is growing tired of this clap-trap and dodging tactics of the money-hounds and will eventually force the champion to come out in the open and fight some worthy opponent. OVER ANDERSON Boston, Mass., Sept. 19th (Preston News Service)—Last Monday night Kid Norfolk defeated Lee Anderson in a ten-round bout at the Boston Arena, under the auspices of the Arena A. C. Norfolk won by stiff body punches, largely to the kidneys, and by taking advantage of every opportunity afforded by Anderson. However, Anderson made a splendid showing in the early stages of the fight, taking the second, third, fourth and fifth rounds, by making a vigorous aggressive fight and pounding Norfolk about the body. But his unmindfulness of defensive tactics cost him the battle as he permitted Norfolk to land several sledge-hammer blows occasionally to the pit of his stomach and to the kidneys which finally began to weaken him. Norfolk appeared to be more heady than Anderson all through the battle. The effect of the punishment he was receiving from Norfolk became quite Mr. Renter Are You Still Paying Rent?
