Guest, representative of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Co., was a caller at our office this week and seemed very jubilant over what he said was good news in the form of a letter from the secretary of his company telling of the arrangements whereby the shipment of the products of their mines have been completed. Mr Guest stated that there was no longer any doubt about his company paying dividends during the year 1916, saying the only question is, how much. The number of bids by the different refunding companies was another guarantee that the products were good. Extracts from letter received by Mr. Guest: "We have now on file several letters from some of the largest smelting and refining companies in the United States requesting this corporation to ship their product to them. We have made a selection from the entire number and will ship to the American Smelting and Refining Co. Salt Lake City, Utah. Their plant is at Murry, Utah. These people have the reputation of being O. K., and are youched for by our bank here in this city, and other reliable sources. "I am going up Saturday to the camp (Gold Star) to make arrangements for the first shipment, which will no doubt be ready by the last of the month (December)." A few shares of the stock in the above company would make an everlasting Christmas gift. See Mr. Guest at 4250 Cote Brilliante Ave. Phone, Lindell 3419W. MRS. LILLIE NORTH ACQUITTED Mrs. Lillie North, 1713 N. Pendleton, was discharged in Judge Saunders' court Tuesday morning on the charge of threatening the life of Mrs. Annette Officer, 4051 West Belle. The charge grew out of an effort made by Mrs. North to get her daughter, Maude P. Officer, 10 years old, who was living with her father, Wm. E. Officer, Jr., formerly Mrs. North's husband. Mrs. North stated she had no objection to the child being under the jurisdiction of Mr. and Mrs. Officer, but was compelled to take her away because she' was being mistreated.

UNITY IN THE AIR Ministers' Version of the Segregation Proceedings Indicates Harmony. Disagreements Will Not Affect Fight Against Unjust Petition. The proposed suit to be brought by Attorneys Homer G. Phillips and George L. Vaughn to stop the election on segregation, set for February 29, 1916, was announced in these columns last week. We all rejoice in believing that the opportunity is in sight to stop, by court proceedings not only this humiliation to a portion of our citizens, but a disgrace to the whole community. It is in keeping with good ethics to state that the ministers mentioned in that announcement, Drs. W. Sampson Brooks, B. G. Shaw, Geo. E. Stevens, N. L. Smith and B. F. Abbott, are alone responsible for court action against segregation in this city. These ministers held a conference with Attorney George B. Webster, of this city, who informed them that this entire segregation program could be killed through the courts and offered his service to lead the fight for a fee of $300. This information was given to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. by these ministers at a special meeting, called for that purpose, and they urged the association to co-operate with them in the court proceedings outlined by Attorney Webster. On the advice of its attorneys the N. A. A. C. P. refused to take up the matter in court. Attorneys Phillips and Vaughn strenuously opposed any court process, declaring that such action would be futile and that the moral effect of a failure would strengthen the forces of segregation. After this first conference these ministers held a conference with Attorney Webster and the attorneys of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and Mr. Webster unhesitatingly declared to them that he could and would stop this segregation election by court process. In the effort to get together, more than one conference was held and in the second meeting the opposition to court action was more pronounced and determined. Nothing daunted these ministers, they were determined to go into court for the people's cause regardless of opposition of the N. A. A. C. P., following the advice of Attorneys Phillips and Vaughn and so declared their purpose and determination in the conference. Attorney W. R. Hill-agreed with the ministers in this purpose and determination. This second conference resulted in the appointment of a committee consisting of these ministers and attorneys, Phillips, Vaughn, Burgess and Hill, to further consider the question of court action. In the first committee meeting, Attorneys Phillips and Vaughn, seeing that the ministers were determined to go into court at once with Attorney George B. Webster leading in the case, asked for ten days to make further investigation. This ten days' time was given and at the end of the ten days attorneys Phillips and Vaughn returned with the opinion that there was relief in the courts and stated that they were willing to go into court with the case assisted by some of the best legal talent of the city and that no fee for service would be charged by anyone. The ministers objected to this offer, first because they had tentatively agreed to retain Attorney Webster in the case; second, because, Attorney Webster contended that he could secure relief through the courts while almost, everybody else was doubting it and many opposing it. When the ministers contended that they would only consider Attorney Geo. B. Webster to lead in the case and that all other attorneys should be associates, Attorneys Phillips and Vaughn, without a word as to their purpose to enter court, filed notice of court action and the ministers, having gained their main purpose by getting court proceedings, through forcing the issue on these men, are wishing them well and hoping they will succeed. As to the lawyers' fee spoken of as a needless expenditure of the people's money, charged against the ministers, it should be said that they felt that every Negro asked would be glad to give a pittance to pay the fee and PRICE 5 CENTS YOUNGER SET MINSTREL SHOW Big Entertainment at Pythian Hall, Tuesday, December 28 for the Benefit of the Day Nursery of the Mound City Social Settlement Association.

P. had been collecting money from the people for advertising purposes and were paying over $25.00 a week for collecting this money and for secretary's work at headquarters, which, under the circumstances, was legitimate; but the ministers felt that if this expenditure could be used to get injunctive relief to prevent the election, it would be the surest way to win.

The Argus, in closing issues of 1915, offers genera! greetings ane thanks for the assistance it has received from thousands in helping it to climb to the enviable position of journalism which it now maintains. Our circulation has ificreased until we now have 25,000 readers in St. Louis, and our columns are kept bristling with information, com- ment, views and reviews on the newest affairs in which, the colored people are mostly interested. We started out as heralds of advancement and reform, and made fearless battle with evil-and retarding conditions prevailing in school, church and state, and never hesitated to cry aloud, to let the geople know of their transgressions. ‘This policy has won the confidence of -the people, and now they are rallying to our support. Our paper Feaches every part of the United States and, without exaggeration, we “tan Tothfutiy” say-thar-it-ranks~amrong? the-best-advertising-mediums among the colored people in the great Middle West. ~ . ‘The fact our present success springs from our energies and strong policy will cause us to redouble our energies and improve and strength- en our policy, and thus furnish the Negro of St. Louis a capable mouth- piece through which he may defend the right and denounce the wrong. St. Louis is #Marge and iruitful field for Negro journalism, and arwell- established journal becomes very serviceable to the citizens generally. The people are responding commensurately to our effort, and with the assurance of this the destiny of the Argus must be that of the greatest organ of the Negro race in the> United States. © ee i RBSULTS ALREADY . The campaign for $50,000 for a Y. M. C. A. Tbuilding for the col- ored men and boys has surely done much already for our city. It has taught us lessons that we could have never learned otherwise, It gave us an idea of what it means to be thoroughly organized.” It gave men large and unselfish visions. It made men forget little things and look to large ones. It caused men to grasp each other's hand who had here- tofore chanced to overlook each other. It gave men the chance to give until they felt it, at least once in a Jifetime. Yes, we see the good re- sults already, and no one can tell what is yet to come, ‘ , ee. ey i ’ A BIG GIFT-_ | . we.” That $5,000 gift coming from ths Pozy College is a big,thing.

In looking over the field of individ: uals in St. Louis who make up the advance army of race progress, we must perforce turn to W. R. Hill, one of our assistant city counsellors, formerly a resident of the state of Texas, but for the past nine years a St. Louisan. The Hon, Mr, Hill, who resides with his wife and son, in their own home, at 2404 Goode Ave., has, by his sincerity of purpose and high Christian character, endeared him- self toall who know him’ and his many friends commonly’ call him “Judge” when speaking of him. , Atty. Hill was appointed assistant city counsellor last June and as a representative of the race, he is mak- ing good in the position which he holds. He is a mirror of reflection for the Colored citizens of St.’ Louis. A significant fact about’ his ap- pointment is that it is the first time in the history of the city of St. Louis that a inember of the face has held this position. Mayor Kiel and City, Counsellor Daues made no mistake when Atty Hill was named assistant and the ‘Colored citizens are to be congratu- dated that they have a representative ii, the legal department of the city government who reflects naught but credit upon the race, Atty, Hill receives an annual sal. ary of $2,000, which is the high water mark of salary paid to any Colored man employed by the city. In the record breaking Y. M.-C. A. campaign for - $50,000, which ended this week, Atty. Hill was captain, of team No. 13, which raised $3,014. LEONARD AVE, BAPTIST .

STEPHEN A. SMITH DIES SUDDENLY Stephen A. Smith died very suddenly Friday morning of last week, at his home, 1329 Gay St., and was buried Monday from Pleasant Green Baptist Church. The funeral was under the auspices of Othello Lodge No. I, Benevolent Order of Peerless Knights. Rev. J. K. Parker officiated, IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of Frank Washington, who departed this life December 14, 1912. In the graveyard softly sleeping. Where the flowers gently wave. Lies the one we loved so dearly. In his lonely, silent grave. Peaceful be your sleep, dear father. 'Tis sweet to breathe your name. In life we loved you dearly. In death we do the same. All the world is gray with shadow. Clouds have dimmed the sun-set glow. It's three years, dgar, since you left us, Yes it seems so long ago. We often sit and think of you, When we're all alone. For memory is the only thing, That grief can call its own. Sadly missed by Annie Washington, wife; Hazel Washington, daughter. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dear baby, Mary Nancy Jarrett, who departed this life one year ago, Dec. 24, 1914. In the graveyard softly sleeping, Where the flowers gently wave, Lies the one we love so dearly, In her lonely grave. Heaven now retains our treasure. Earth the barren casket keeps, And the sunlight loves to linger, Where our dearest baby sleeps. "Gone, but not forgotten." Sadly missed by our bereaved father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Jarrett, 912a Elliott Ave., St. Louis, Mo. (H.) IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dearly beloved daughter, Hazel Pillar, who departed this life December 23, 1913; and our dearly beloved son, Cary Pillar, who departed this life Sept. 7, 1913. "We often sit and think of you, when all alone. For memory is the only thing that grief can call its own." Sadly missed by mother and sisters.

TESTIMONIALS Major's Oxford College, St. Louis, Mo. To whom it may concern: Before I saw your advertisement in the St. Louis Argus, I was like a ship without a captain. I knew enough about hair work to earn a living but not enough to pass an examination before a college of hair culture. When I was asked where I learned my beauty treatments, I would shiver in my boots because I had no Oxford College to back me. But today I am proud and happy because I am a graduate of the Oxford System and find all of my customers so well pleased. I am gaining new customers every day and must thank you again, I beg to remain. Mme. Fields-Voting, Agt. 49th and 31st St., New York City Major's Oxford College. St. Louis, Mo. To whom it may concern: With many thanks for meeting the name of Oxford College, I will say that I have had some dealings with white colleges in the city of Chicago but find in the Oxford College more pleasure and better understanding than any of the others I have dealt with. In truth I find pleasure in my work for the simple reason, your preparations have given me much satisfaction and when I am pleased with the results, I know my customers must be—at least I have found it so—so far.
