BY THEODORE STEPHENS. Cape Haitien, Haiti—Situated between the two Americas, at the entrance of the gulf of Mexico, stands the well known island of Quisqueya, which was discovered by Columbus on Dec. 6, 1492. It is a land of rivers and high mountains, a land of plenty, a land where nature is lavish in her generosity, a land that accommodates itself to all classes—from the peasant to the bourgeoisie—where the beggar in his hotel could be made quite as contented with his lot as a Caesar on his throne. It is a land which the Creator has in mercy given to the race of Ham for a patrimony, to have and to hold from the year A. D. 1804 and henceforward, as was Canaan of old to the twelve tribes of Israel; a land where all sons of Ethiopia are monarchs of all they survey and their rights to self government there is none to dispute. This small but independent republic, whose sons on certain occasions have shown themselves the worthy descendants of that astute statesman, that irreproachable knight, that Napoleonic warrior, Toussaint l'Ouverture, of whom his biographers said, "Cet homme fatume ouverture partout ou il passe" ("This man makes an opening wherever he passes."—Vie de Toussaint l'Ouverture). These scions of a worthy ancestor, who, it should be remembered to their TEMPLE RECREATED BY THE BLACKS OF HAITI TO COMMEMORATE THE INDEPENDENCE. credit, notwithstanding the debit side of the ledger of their national life, have given proof of their valor in helping to liberate Venezuela from the yoke of Castilian bondage, have a parcel of ground allotted them, which from its geographical position, its temperate climate, its well watered plains and its natural resources could be converted into a veritable "Paradise of the Antilles." It can be made to yield proportionately to its owners and masters all that the state of California yields to the United States of America—gold in abundance—by the establishment of various industries all over her domains. Like Luzon, Haiti is capable of yielding large crops of sugar, which would find a ready export market. Like certain tributary dependencies, this land of the "blacks" is well qualified to produce immense quantities of flax and hemp, and to all the world Haiti could contribute substantially from her mercury and other mines, from her dyewoods, from her forests of building timbers, for architectural purposes as well as for railroad ties, ship building and cabinet work. In this way or along these and other lines Haiti could be worked up into a country of usefulness and abundance, where the sons of toll would under their own vine and fig tree find a veritable refugium pecatorum from theodium of the "all white" peril. But Haiti has not yet arrived at this point, she will, however, develop along the same human lines as did Albion before she could become the England of the twenteth century. Her civil wars will end just as surely as terminated those of the old Picts and Scots, and her development will in time grow and progress, as have those of the sturdy Anglo-Saxon of today compared with his heathen ancestor, the druid of yore. Haiti is a land with which the Negro-Americans should in the interest of the race, in the interest of their history, become acquainted. They should become acquainted with its people, the Haitians, their brethren; with their customs and habits, with the salubrious climate of this fruitful land and above all with its exports of coffee, cocoa, sisal, mahogany, cedar, dye woods, etc. This can easily be done by communicating with the writer, who is a member of the race and has lived on the island for twenty-two years. CAPABLE AFRICAN LEADER. How Dr. Majola Agbebi Serves Native Interests on West Coast. By BRUCE "GRIT." Many Americans of both races who had the pleasure of meeting Majola Agbebi, D. D., Ph. D., in New York a few years ago will no doubt be pleased to learn that he has recently been elected president of the Communion of African Churches of West Africa. DR. AND MRS. MAJOLA AGBEBI. chosen director of the Niger Baptist union and chairman of the conference of Yornba Baptist churches. All the independent native Baptist churches of West Africa are now linked together with the missionary or subsidized churches, Dr. Agbebi having had the honor of being elected president of this body by both sections in assembly, the whites proposing it and the blacks confirming it. His election has created a great deal of favorable comment. Dr. Agbebi is a man of fine culture and a scholar who has few equals. He is an able, eloquent preacher and teacher, and it is no cause for wonder that white men and black men united in the movement to make him president of the most powerful and influential branch of the Baptist church in West Africa. He is the right man in the right place, and the Baptists of West Africa may well congratulate themselves on having as their leader a man so well qualified morally and intellectually to lead them. The doctor will have in Mrs. Adeola Agbebi, his good wife, a worthy and capable helpmeet in his work in Lagos and the Nigerias. Mrs. Agbebi is a lady of superior mental attainments, and her chiography is as beautiful as her English is perfect. She is a model housewife and an agreeable and charming hostess, a typical African lady. Dr. Agbebi received the degree of doctor of philosophy at Columbia university, New York.

MISSION OF THE BUSINESS LEAGUE Story of Struggle and Achievement Told by Members of Influential National Body Convincives Note Clergymen That It Was Born For a Definite and Laudable Purpose. Holly Springs, Miss.—Bishop Ellias Cottrell of this place is a life member of the National Negro Business league. He is what many of us are pleased to call one of the "Old Guards" both as a minister and a worker along other helpful lines making for the progress of the colored Americans. Bishop Cottrell is very enthusiastic in all of his work. He has issued to the race press of the country the following article bearing on the efforts and achievements of the National Negro Business league. Bishop Cottrell says: There are many reasons why the ensuing convention to be held in Boston should be the greatest in its history, many of which are set forth in the literature that is being circulated very extensively throughout the country, but I wish here to emphasize two reasons particularly-first, business has seldom experienced such paralysis as now affects the commercial life of the country. We are confronted with conditions in every phase of life that try men's souls. What we need most in such a crisis is that inspiration which comes from contact with men of business who are successful under these conditions. There is no need of allowing our institutions to lag. The cry of hard times is calculated to destroy confidence. When confidence is gone we fail to utilize the opportunities at our immediate command. The prime and ultimate object of the National Negro Business league is to inspire and encourage Negro business enterprises. The resourceful mind of the founder of the league saw the possibilities of the race and conceived the idea of an organization composed of business men from every walk of life to allow them in their humble way to tell the simple story of their struggles in life, with varied experiences of how they succeeded in business. This exchange of thoughts and ideas permeating the heart of the vast throng of men and women tend to inspire each to a nobler endeavor. Prior to my becoming a member of the National Negro Business league it was a question in my mind as to how such an organization could materially benefit our people, but the first meeting I attended I heard the stories of struggling men and women in every avenue of business endeavor; how some of them started without a dollar or with very small capital and in a few years by thrift, industry and economy had massed a handsome little fortune. Then I said deep down in my soul that this league is just the thing to inspire our people, and Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder, could not out of his resourceful mind have conceived a better scheme to inspire our people to more successful achievements than to meet once every year to tell of their progress in business. I have said and say now that the clergy, to whom the people look for counsel and advice affecting every phase of the social, civic, religious and economic life of our people, should lend a liberal hand in advancing the interests of the Business league. It would greatly aid our religious institutions if the clergy by the use of their good offices and great offices and great influence should encourage our business men. It would furthermore tend to reduce crime among our people if more of our young people were given more lucrative employment, and this condition the Business league seeks indirectly to bring about. The accomplishment of this great idea will substantially aid the moral and religious phase of the minister's work. As ministers we dable perhaps too much in politics and many other activities of life not directly connected with our religious work. Therefore it appears that more attention to the material development of our young people is vitally important and essential. Let us, therefore, encourage the largest attendance at the ensuing meeting in Boston that we have ever had. Second, to those who misunderstand the big and deeper purposes of the league and regard it purely as a money making scheme, I wish to disabuse their mind. The league is not a money making scheme to help any man or set of men. The membership fees, sale of badges and entrance fees are the only sources of income, and they are insufficient to bear legitimate expenses. Of its officers are men holding other positions and are doing the work at a great sacrifice. I note with interest, according to the minutes of the session held at Muskogee, Okla., in 1914, that the league has 217 life members. Let each member make one more strong, united effort to bring one life member from his community. The addition of more than 200 life members would encourage the league very much. DR. J. W. JONES' ACTIVITIES. Notable Career of a Native Virginian at Winston-Salem, N. C. Winston-Salem, N. C.—Among the foremost members of the National Medical association in this state is Dr. J. W. Jones of this city. He is a native of Mecklenburg county, Va.. where he is still well and favorably known on account of his activity and ambition to make the most of his opportunities to win success. Dr. Jones is a graduate of the Leonard Medical school, Shaw university, Raleigh, N.C. class of 1891. After his graduation Dr. Jones decided to make this city his home. He began the practice of his profession here about twenty-four years ago. At the time of his taking up residence here there was but one other member of the race practicing medicine in this town. By close application to his duties as a physician, coupled with diligent study, he has risen to the front rank among the professional men of the state. He is an ex-president of the State Medical association and a former member of the executive board of the National Medical association. Besides his exacting duties as a physician, Dr. Jones holds the position of grand chancellor of the order of Knights of Pythias of North Carolina and is chairman of the board of trustees of the First Baptist church in this city. He is thoroughly interested in the welfare of the race and is connected with about all of the enterprises of importance for racial advancement in this city and state. Along other business lines here he is a partner of his brother as owner of one of the finest and best equipped pharmacies in the state. Dr. Jones is a good manager and knows how to economize. This is shown by the fact that he is a large property owner and exerts a wide influence among his fellow citizens of both races. He is a familiar figure at the annual meetings of the National Medical association. At the last session, held at Raleigh in August, 1914, Dr. Jones and his brother gave a "Kitty Wilkes" smoker in honor of the members of the association. To Incorporate Beulah Rescue Home. The Beulah Rescue Home association in Pittsburgh through Lawyer W. H. Stanton has applied to the common pleas court for papers of incorporation. The names of the following well known persons were attached to the application, which was filed July 28: Beulah E. Mason, Emma G. Price, Leavina Graves, David E. Wheeler and D. L. Senior. Boyd Home From Tour of Florida. Henry Allen Boyd, the energetic corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press association, returned to his home in Nashville, Tenn., the last week in July from a tour of Florida. Mr. Boyd has sent an urgent notice to all members of the executive committee to be present at the meeting to be held in Boston on Wednesday, Aug. 18. Odd Fellows' Field Day at Butler, Pa. The second annual field day of the First battalion Second patriarchal regiment of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Pittsburgh, was held at Alameda park, Butler, Pa., Monday, July 26. The committee in charge was headed by G. W. Stevenson. Secret Societies and the Public. The older secret societies in Pittsburgh and their auxiliaries seem to have taken on new life this year in the matter of adding to their membership and activity in matters of public concern. Enterprise Household of Ruth No. 1784, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, recently celebrated its fourteenth anniversary. Invitation to the exercises was extended to the general public. The services were held at Allen Chapel church, north side. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. LEADER IN MANY GOOD MOVEMENTS Energy of Dr. J. H. Presnell of Knoxville, Tenn. STUDENT OF FIRST RANK. Steps In the Upward Climb of a Capable Young Man Who Set His Standard High and Accomplished His Aim. Well Known In Church and Secret Society Circles. Knoxville, Tenn. - The professional men of this age are contributing their part toward the elevation of the race, and they are learning that in order to accomplish anything they must be educated to the people and not away from them. In this class of young men is to be found Dr. J. H. Presnell, who enjoys the confidence and esteem of the race in this city. He is a recognized leader among the young people. He took time and prepared himself to render the best service. It was not until he had finished his course of J. H. PRESNELL, M. D. study at Knoxville college that he entered Mehary Medical college, in Nashville, Tenn., with the determination to become a first class physician and surgeon. It was in the spring of 1913 that he received his diploma from Mehary. He had already passed the state board in Tennessee, and this was done while he was in his junior year. He was considered unusually bright and made a general average of 90 per cent in the state board and was complimented by some of the examiners. Dr. Presnell decided to locate in Knoxville. It did not take the people long to learn of his worth to the race. The people began to declare him a good doctor, a man who knew his business. In order to look after his growing business he found it necessary to get an automobile. So he purchased one, which speeds him over the city and far out into the country, where his services are not only needed, but sought. His real work among the people is done not alone in the sickroom, but in the church and societies, for he is a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church, is one of the trustees of that church and has been for some time. He is ever found at his post of duty, and whenever his church calls he is ready to respond to any task which may be assigned to him. He is a large contributor to the church and to the cause of education and missions. Dr. Presnell is a member of the order of Knights of Pythias and is medical director for two of the local lodges. He attends the meetings regularly and was a prominent figure in the grand lodge session which met in Knoxville recently. Like most young men belonging to the race, he had to work his way through school. It was his activity when a young man that prepared him for the work he is doing now. It should be of interest to the young men of our race to know that Dr. Presnell finished his studies at the Meharry Medical college when twenty-eight years old and is today the youngest man in Knoxville engaged in the practice of medicine. "He told his wife she hadn't good judgment, and she just looked him over from head to foot very calmly and said that she realized it."—Chicago News. No. 35 DR. JOHNSON IS OPTIMISTIC Leader of New England Baptists Tella Race to Stand Firm. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—In closing his annual address to the New England Baptist missionary convention, which closed its forty-first annual session in this city recently, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, president, said: The New England Baptist missionary convention is a Negro institution and as such stands for everything good that has the Negro brand upon it. She believes in the capability of the Negro first, last and all the time. Her faith in a glorious future for the race leads her to plan and suffer, remembering that "the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us." She also believes in "that he who would be free must himself first strike the blow." The prime factor in the solution of our problem is the Negro himself. The record of sterling character and worth that makes men superior must be made by the Negro himself. We have made a record for patience; now let us make one for persistency. The Pauline expression, "We press forward," must be the slogan of the Negro everywhere, "from Maine's tall pines and crags of snow, to where magnolia's blossoms blow; from oriental chambers, whose windows open upon the turbulent Atlantic, to Hesperian hills, who wash their feet in the peaceful Pacific." It is the conspiracy of American prejudice to humiliate the race everywhere, north and south. Nowhere upon history's pages can an example of race hatred as wicked and devilish be found as that of America. If it were leveled at the criminal and dangerous classes it might be justifiable, but it is directed to that element in our race life that contributes the highest and best to western civilization and lives by the inspiration it receives from government officials and clerical parasites, who instead of preaching a gospel of love for all men, are preaching a gospel of hate and confusion toward the Negro. It would be good policy for this country to court the love rather than the hatred of the black citizenship; to develop their loyalty by administering justice and equity rather than lynch, disfranchise and segregate the very people who will certainly have to be reckoned with to repel an invading foe from abroad or put down insurrection and civil strife at home. What has happened in American history with the black man on the battlefield will surely happen again, but unless the government accords him better treatment both as a man and citizen in the future he may not be so loyal and patient, but use his larger intelligence and finer powers of discrimination in other rather than a constructive way. The new brand of American statesmanship which has found its way to the front must be taught at the polls to have a conscience as well as a fat pocketbook. He must be taught the value of brains as well as a bank account. He must be taught that citizenship and individual liberty are one and the same. Anything else is a humbug and a national disgrace. We call upon the race to stand firm for high character and race unity—unify our forces in church and state at home and abroad, sink individual ambition when the good of all is in the balance. The race is closer together now than any period of its history. To say less would be a confession of judgment to retrogression, stagnation and inability to respond to all that education and religion have done for the world's betterment. We are rising in spite of organized and diabolical efforts to hinder us. We are nearer the heights today than we have been before. We easily assimilate in the heterogeneous civilization of the world, and we serve notice on our contemporaries and unborn generations that our feet shall stand where others are, our hands shall gather our precious heritage of racial self sacrifice and racial glory, and our eyes shall feast upon the golden glories of a people once lost, but now redeemed.

There are many restrictions against Negroes as tenants in desirable places and many places undesirable for respectable Negro tenants. There are many strangers coming to our city, and they are unable to get decent locations. Something must be done. They can buy property anywhere and live therein, but most of them are poor pioneers, and they cannot pay the price. COUNTY OPTION Now that it is certain that a county election will be held in October, the Negroes are much interested. While there are many identified with the wet element, they do not propose to vote to sanction discrimination against them in many saloons. Sen. E. J. Westlake is a leader of the wet faction. He was elected by the Negro vote, and a committee will wait upon him to place their grievances before him. Unless he uses his great influence to bring about better conditions, they will vote for a dry county. Such PROHIBITION practices, as "refusing to serve Negro gentlemen" and placing humiliating signs "NEGROES NOT WANTED HERE", will serve as a boomerang to many of the retail liquor dealers—and it should. If Negroes cannot get decent treatment as other people in public places, then let us go fifty-fifty on the blind pigs, and there will be some equality to this "personal liberty" (?) issue. Any Negro who would vote to endorse the present conditions of the liquor traffic belongs to the class that has brought most disgrace upon his race—the Negro without either manhood or principle. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the eloquent Methodist preacher, is very ill at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Child Life in Africa. Child life in Africa has few pleasures and many sorrows and is in a state of constant reversal and change. From the time of a boy's birth until he has gone through the "devil bush" he is little thought of, but as soon as he has passed through its terrible ordeals and practices he is regarded as a man and an asset in the native community With a girl it is different. It is very hard to procure girls for the mission stations because they are considered specially valuable as workers and possible money brings until the period arrives for them to enter and pass through the "gree-gree" bush ordeal. Then they are regarded as women and eligible for marriage, and their industrial value decreases. Still, if they rear large families, their market value keeps up in a measure, for in certain sections of Africa tribal custom permits a man to sell, loan or rent out his wives or keep them in household slavery or give them their freedom. Freedom is conferred by presenting the wife with the long tooth of a leopard, which indicates that she is no longer a slave, but a free woman, not a divorced wife.-Christian Herald. A Bernard Shaw Criticism. Before fame came to him Bernard Shaw wrote dramatic criticisms for the London Saturday Review. The following sample is characteristic of the man: "I am in a somewhat foolish position concerning a play at the Opera Comque, whither I was bidden this day week. For some reason I was not supplied with a program, so that I never learned the name of the play. At the end of the second act the play had advanced about as far as an ordinary dramatist would have brought it five minutes after the first rising of the curtain or. say, as far as Ibsen would have brought it ten years before that event. Taking advantage of the second interval to stroll out into the Strand for a little exercise, I unfortunately forgot all about my business and actually reached home before it occurred to me that I had not seen the end of the play. Under these circumstances it would ill become me to dogmatize on the merits of the work or its performance. I can only offer the management my apologies." Eastern Vermont's Marbles. Eastern Vermont's Marbles. Though the western part of Vermont includes the most extensive marble industry in this country, the eastern part is a virgin field, where, in the lack of a general study of the stratigraphy, the structure, the paleontology and the areal geology, it is at present not only impossible to determine the area and position of many of the beds, but also even the thickness of some of the marble formations, which are but partly exposed. The marbles of eastern Vermont, many of which are dolomitic, vary widely in kind and character, and the outcrops, though few in number, are scattered from the Massachusetts line to the Canadian boundary. Many of the marbles are suited only for indoor ornamental use. The greater part of the ledges are to be classed as mineral reserves, which will be drawn on in the future. Burial With Military Honors Burial With Military Honors. After a battle the dead are buried "with military honors." These in times of peace are both impressive and elaborate, but in time of war they are much curtailed. The principal features are the playing by muffled drums of the dead march, the resting on the arms reversed by the troops engaged and the final firing into the air over the grave of three blank volleys. The number of volleys is always the same, but the number of men comprising the firing party increases with the rank of the deceased. A muffled drum is a drum the cords of which have been loosened so as to slacken the parchment head and cause it to give forth on being struck a dull, muffled sound.—London Scraps. Intellectual Life. People without intellectual life are virtually under condemnation to hard labor. Unless their thoughts can give them wholesome occupation they must find it for their hands. Otherwise they cannot live well and must expect deterioration. But, unluckily for lazy people, the achievement of a good grade of intellectual life involves about as much work as anything else.

Thompson and Davie Died Defending Old Glory In War of 1812 On Christmas day, 1812, in the fight between the American privateeer Governor Tompkins and the British man-of-war Laurel an eighteen pound shot took off both legs of John Thompson, a Negro sailor in the privateeer, and mutilated the lower part of his body in a horrible manner. Although in his death agonies, the heroic fellow shouted to those about him: "Fire away, boys! Nebber haul de colors down!" Standing near Captain Shaler about this moment was another Negro seaman, John Davis. He was mortally injured in much the same manner and, falling to the deck, begged that he might be thrown overboard immediately lest his mangled remains encumber the working of the guns. Baptists In Efforts to Save Property. President W. Bishop Johnson of the New England Baptist missionary convention has called upon the ministers of the churches of the convention for contributions from their congregations to prevent the loss of a valuable piece of church property for debt. Several churches have indicated their intention to render financial aid to the church in question, which is without a minister. Dr. Johnson was in Brooklyn on Saturday, July 17, in the interest of the matter. Nurses to Hold Meeting in Raleigh.

A couple emerging from the budding went together down the street. “Peter,” said one to the other in an undertone, “What ts it, Ivan?” “We have a traitor among us, & spy of the government, who has joined our efrele to betray us.” “Heavens! What can we do to clr- cumvent him?” “It will be impossible without mak- ing sacrifices. 1 am going to the chief Of police to denounce him as a traitor to the government, one who pretends to serve it while betraying its secrets to the circle, But I will not be believed unless I betray several of our mem- bers at the same time.” “But they will be sent to Siberia.” “We must contrive to get them off before they go, and if that is impossible ‘We must attempt a rescue.” “A rescue! Impossible!” “We shall see.” Ivan Demizort the next day was closeted with the chief of police. He named four men who were plotting against the government, including the spy, and recommended’ that they be confined in a room on the top story of a certain building, a window of which could be seen from windows on the opposite side of the street. “Other con- splrators,” he added, “will learn where they are, will communicate with them and can be arrested,” ‘The chief assent- ed to the plan, the arrests were made, and the prisoners were confined as sug- gested. Sples were set to watch the opposite side of the street, and if any one was seen making signs to the prisoners the police were to be informed. The men were held several days, but no one was 'seen to be communicating. Not only id the spies become tired of watching and consequently careless, but those guarding the prisoners relaxed their vigilance. It was hoped that they ‘would all go to sleep at the same time, but they did not. Finally Ivan Dem! sort confessed to the chief of police that his plan was a failure, but {t was agreed to leave the prisoners where they were one day longer. If at the end of twenty-four hours no other fish were hooked the four men were to be sent to Siberia. ‘That night at 8 o'clock a man of dark complexion, wearing a red fez, ‘was seen to enter the building where the prisoners were confined. About haif past 8 a woman with a long stride went in; later a negro and still later a man in Montenegrin costume. The last of these persons passed in at 10 o'clock, and none of them were seen to pass out. In the morning when the relief guard went to the building they found the door of the room where the prison- ers had been placed locked. ‘They call- ed and were answered by the guard within and told to break down the door, They did so and found the guard bound and gagged, while the prisoners were gone. They told the relief that during the previous evening they were ‘set upon by a number of men dressed in different costumes, who had suc- ceeded in snatching thelr guns, had overpowered them and taken away the prisoners. ‘The man who wore the fez, first en- tering the building, was Ivan Demi- zorf; the others were members of the cirele of which he was a member. ‘They concealed themselves tn different arts of the building, and near mid- night the negro, who was so black that be could not be distinguished In the darkness, crept up to the top story. where the prisoners were confined, and. peeping, saw that of the four men com- Posing the guard at the door three were sound asleep, and the other was doz ing. Returning, he reported what he had seen, and the rescue party, headed by Ivan Demizort, crawled up the statr- case. On reaching the top Demizort awaited his opportunity, then made a dash for the gun of the man who was nodding. One of the other men of the rescue party got the gun of a man who was asleep without encountering any re- sistance, but the two remaining res- cuers were obliged to fight for the oth- er weapons. However, it was not a minute before every guard was cover- ed by a’gun in the hands of a rescuer. Demlzort opened the door where the ‘prisoners were confined and found ‘them all awake and intensely {nterest- ed in what had been going on out- Side. There were now double the num. ber opposing the guards, and their guns had been taken from them. Ropes and gags had been brought. and the first thing done was the insertion of the latter. ‘Then the guards were bound, laid on the floor, the door locked, and the rescue party departed with the prisoners. ‘The three bona fide members of the ¢lrele made thelr escape across the Border.

It had’ been left open, and any one who wished to have a look at the deceased was permitted to do so. ‘Mrs, MacElroy looked down upon the corpse with melancholy visage, then went to her seat and whispered to ‘Mrs. Martin beside her: “He looks very natural.” “Do you think so? I wouldn't know him.” Mre, Gonigle leaned forward and remarked in a subdued voice that she had been asked to go to the hospital where he had died and identify bim. ‘She was in doubt at first, but as she looked the features seemed ‘to throw off the death look and take on a lifelike appearance. She would stake her life on his being Parker. Nathan Parker had left home sev- eral days before to go to work at his trade—he was a plasterer—and had not returned. He had complained of diz- ainess and was seen to stagger as he walked down the street. Night came and he did not return. His wife was worried about Mm and fearful that he had collapsed. She would have gone to inquire of his employer, but her husband had told her that be was go- ing to do a job on his own account that day and unfortunately did not in- form her where it was. ‘That night was one of great anxiety to Mrs. Parker. She went to the grocery and called.up every hospital in town, asking if a man of the name of Parker was there. They all replied that they had no such person among their patients. The next day passed without bringing the missing man’s return. Mrs. Parker sent out a police alarm, but nothing came of it ‘Then one day the missing man's son concluded to go the rounds of the hos. pitals in search of his father. At one of them he found that a man had died who had been taken in unconscious and no name obtained. He had fallen on a sidewalk, been picked up by a po Veeman and brought to the hospital tn an ambulance. He had died the day before. John Parker went in to see the corpse, dreading to find his father. He no sooner looked upon it than he cov- ered his eyes with his hands. There lay the man he had feared to see. ‘Ther he went home and informed his moth- er of what he had found. After she had given way to the first outbursts of grief she asked John if he was sure that the body he had seen was that of his father. John said he was, but there would be no harm in sending some one else to identify it. Stephen Parker, the deceased's brother, went to the hospital and expressed a doubt that the eorpse was that of Nathan. ‘Then Mrs, Gonigle, an intimate friend of the family, went to the hospital and confirmed John’s report. At the hour appointed for the fu- neral the family and relatives came into the room where the burial rites were to take place and took seats be- side the coffin. A minister appeared. who conducted the services and dwelt at length on the virtues of the de ceased. When all was over the under. taker put the lid on the coffin and screwed it down. While he was do- ing so a man, very pale, staggered in ‘at the door. “What's all this?” he exclaimed. “Good gracious!” cried Mrs. Parker. “Who are you?” asked the minister, starting forward to head off the inter. loper. “Who am I? I'm Nathan Parker. ‘Who's that in the coffin?” “Oh, Nathan,” erled the wife, “Is tt really you?” “Really me? Who else should 1 be?" “Have you come back from the dead?" “T haven't been with the dead.” “It looks like you, but I can’t be sure.” Johnay went up to the intruder, look- ed him close in the face, then threw ‘his arms around him, crying: “I made a mistake! I made a mistake!" Then Mrs. Parker took her husband away from Johnny and hugged him.

Kwegyir Agsrey of the Gold Coast, Africa, one of the members of the soctety and professor of English lit erature at Livingstone college, North Carolina, who in an eloquent and im- passioned address held the audience spellbound for nearly an hour while he told of the glorious possibilities of the African race and of the splendid work which the soclety 1s quletly do- ing in gathering valuable and useful information, rare books, manuscripts and pamphlets which vindicate the character of the Negro and confuse and confound his traducers, ‘Mr. A.

D, Martin, minister of the church and vite president of the so- clety, made a strong appeal in favor of the establishment in New York city of a permanent home for the soctety, where the public could have access to its wonderful collection of rare histort- eal Africana.

Authorized as One: of Ohio's Inctite- tlone For Training Teachere. ‘The combined normal and tndustrial department of the Wilberforce (0). university has been placed on the ap proved list of state normal schools. ‘This announcement was made recently after an inspection by Mr. Williams from the office of the state superintend ent of instruction. ‘This result is one which the C. and I. department, under Superintend- ent William A. Joiner, has been work ing for a number of years. The course was formerly too short to place the school on the accredited list, but it was finally brought up to the required standard. Graduates of the norma! department ‘are now entitled to four year pre: vistonal certificate without examina, tion, and after twenty-four monthe.of successful teaching they are entitled to a Mfe certificate good in thirty-five states. Now that the state department of public instruction has given this de partment full recognition as one of the state's authorized institutions for tratn- ing teachers, the legislature of Ohie has determined to properly equip the normal and industrial department for its work. ‘The legislature, which recently ad- Journed its session, made liberal appro- priations for this department of work at Wilberforce. There will be erected shops, a building, a gymnasium, water system, hospital and a recitation build ing. These additional buildings wilt make Wilberforce one of the best equipped plants among the institutions for Negro youths. | In the past five years the normal and vocational work at Wilberforce university has been greatly strength ened under an increased faculty, and ‘the work will be kept up to the stand» ard.

It has come to the front before. Sale of European arms to the Confederacy was a problem for the United States to contend with fifty years ago, but as it practically blocked all southern ports importation by the south was difficult and could have no decisive influence upon the fortunes of the war. The system of armament is now so complicated, new inventions and types so frequent, and the expense of changes to keep up to date is so enormous, that many conservative nations will prefer to depend upon the world's market instead of investing vast sums in weapons which may be obsolete before a war crisis is on. International law can't pretend to safeguard weaklings who look for privileges without risks. "All is fair in war," says the adage, and those who engage in war must take their chances that luck may favor their foe. The matter of calling in inventors, specialists, experts or what not to set siege questions of efficiency in a department foreign to their daily experiences has its light and dark sides. Had the rockbound conservatism of the United States naval board had its way in 1861-2 the north would have had no monitor to protect Washington from the ram Merrimac and no ironclads on the Mississippi river. Enthusiasts like Ericsson and Bads bored their way through technical opposition and revolutionised naval warfare. The south had the same trouble. Individual genius and energy built many of its best rams and ironclads. Times have changed, of course, and if invention and development have about reached the limit then the question of efficiency and adaptability to our needs of existing types can best be settled perhaps by experienced naval constructors and officers who have studied their art while "walking the bridge." The World's Work says that it is a matter of record that steamship companies operating between New York and San Francisco via the Panama canal have taken freight from beyond the Mississippi and delivered it at lower cost than the competing transcontinental railroads. An official statement recently before a board of steamship directors showed that a carload of steel plates may be carried westward by water from coast to coast for $100, and the same by rail would cost $320; canned goods, $200 as against $380 by rail; dry goods, also $200 as against $1,080 by rail. Eastward canned salmon, fruits and wine go by the canal at about half the rate by rail. History repeats itself. Back in the "forties" General Zach Taylor piped his warning from the bank of the Rio Grande to the Mexican adventurer on the other side. "If you can't keep your ruffians in order I'll come over and do it for you!" Now the ultimatum is from the banks of the Potomac, but Washington's arm has a swifter, longer reach than it had sixty odd years ago. It is said that some soldiers ask to have their bayonets replaced by short knives because the latter are better for close work. That may be the reason, and, again, the soldiers may be expert knife throwers, a stunt immeasurably safer than prodding your man. READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS War and revolution rage about the City of Mexico as though it constituted a military key to the whole country. Such is not the case, however, from the point of view of strategy. The advantage of its possession lies largely in moral and political effect. Its conquest has usually meant the subjection of all that is vital to the control of Mexico. Nevertheless Maximilian held it securely in the sixties, yet lost his cause. Maximilian's opponent, the masterly Juarez, abandoned it in 1863 on the approach of superior forces of the allied French, English and Spanish, and for four years the republican capital of the country was anywhere in the field dominated by Juarez's armies. He did not see the City of Mexico again until 1867, when the imperialists had been thoroughly vanquished in battles outside and their leader captured. In our war with Mexico in 1847-8 General Scott won out by capturing the City of Mexico. That was because he marched from the main seaport, Vera Cruz, on the capital, drawing all of Santa Anna's best troops to that front, and when the unpopular dictator was defeated at the gates all Mexico succumbed because there was no longer an army afield to put up a respectable resistance. Statistics furnished by the department of commerce indicate that the foreign trade of the United States did not really increase in the fiscal year 1914-15—that is to say, that, while there was an increase of almost 1 per cent over that of the corresponding period of 1912-13, there would in normal times have been an increase of probably 6 or 8 per cent. The trade in 1913-14, of course, fell off, and that of this year would have been lower but for the spurt in exports of war munitions. It is doubtful if the profits of this trade offset the loss which may be traced to the war in other lines. Our trade thrives best when we sell goods normally consumed in time of peace and take in payment goods needed for consumption here. Where there is no blood at work the matter of signaling possible enemy ships at sea settles itself, while in the doubtful zone every skipper sets a watch for a strange sail and particularly for signals to indicate what the stranger wants to do or wants done by the other factor in the case. The rule of the sea is to answer a hall and stand to or fight. As with the rule of the road, it is good policy as well as good etiquette to follow custom. About this time we may expect a revival of the discussion over eating too little or too much, drinking too little or too freely and all the whys and wherefores of kind, time and balanced components of a meal. The fact that the discussion returns annually with unabated vigor shows that it hasn't upset the world's dietary habits as yet. If Germany should win it will be interesting to see how long the Japs hang on in Kiachau, how they get on bossing China, how long Botha's Boers stay in German Southwest Africa and, above all, by what legerdemain England stays ruler of the seas. The German continuous performance of piercing the Russian lines and the continuous "comeback" of the czar's men recall Napoleon's comment on Russian valor, "The only way to beat a Russian soldier is to kill him." After four years of war the population of Mexico' remains about the same. It is a war in which fighting doesn't mean killing to any great extent. Sure of his loot, the belligerent lets go easy. There's a suspicion that certain jingoes are overanxious to stand behind the president when trouble is brewing. They can get glory from shouting loud and then sneak away when bullets begin to fly. It requires a half score of European trips merely to skim the surface of things over there, so the one who vows to "see America first" has years of hiking and pleasure coming. The American custom of long distance practice rides for army officers would have prepared the Russian officers to find a safe rear in their great retreat. Sometimes it is a grave problem for parents what to do with their boys and girls and, again, what to let the young folks do with their old folks. Judging from the amount of advice urged upon the government at Washington, this must be a nation of inspired sages or inspired idlers. It seems that warlike nations must add to the usual military preparedness some cocksure prevention of labor strikes. Vacations come high indeed, but if they are real rests from overstrain they can't come too high. The idea of peace current in Mexico seems to be, "Make the other fellow quit." TWIN CITY STAR Success of the Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia, S. C. By GEORGE F. KING. Columbia, S. C.-Thousands of people of both races throughout Texas and Arkansas taxed the large auditoriums of churches in those states to hear what hundreds of the most representative people of these states said were the ablest and most instructive lectures to men and women that have been delivered in Texas and Arkansas for many years during the recent tour of that great South Carolinian, the Rev. Richard Carroll. He gave lectures of vital importance to the race in his characteristic manner, brimful of practical advice and inspiration, which have made him a man of national import. For twenty years he has been known as a gifted lecturer and preacher and has by his remarkable ability and style reached thousands of his race, and turned their activities into channels of higher usefulness. During his recent tour, which closed with unprecedented success, it was proved, as it has been wherever he labored, that he is a born leader. This fact looms up largely in South Carolina, where even Ben Tillman is in the saddle and says: "No colored man in the state has the influence with all classes of white people that Carroll has. He has the influence and co-operation of the best people in the state." United States Minister W. E. Genzales, in Cuba, is among the many white men who pay tribute to his character. In his common sense way he takes a stand for right and does not once compromise with the enemies of his race. There are very few Afro-Americans in any part of the country who can register their opinion in no uncertain tones before an audience in the south as this remarkable character, who is often invited to address audiences of the most influential southern white people. His experiences in trying to bring about an amicable relationship between the races, especially in this state, are strikingly interesting. His peculiar frankness in dealing with this all important race subject and dynamic force of personality and sincerity have placed him high in the estimation of the best people of both races, and there is no man in South Carolina who can command the co-operation on the part of every element of Afro-Americans as can the Rev. Mr. Carroll. His life has been devoted to philanthropic movements, and his charitable endeavors are signally evidenced by giving his life for destitute children and contributing his finances for the education of a large number of them. Another phase of his activities is the finding of homes for the homeless. The colored farmers of South Carolina have found in him every quality of a leader, and as an attestation of this fact is the most excellent support given him in every movement he has launched, especially the South Carolina state fair, of which he was the organizer and first president, and the Batesburg fair, Batesburg, S.C. These fairs are remarkable evidences of the Negro's achievements and aspirations and have elicited nation wide comment. The Rev. Mr. Carroll was educated at Benedict college, and spent one year in study at Shaw university. He was highly successful in the pastorate in Greenville, Alken and other rural charges in this state. For eleven years he labored assiduously as Sunday school missionary in South Carolina and Florida for the American Baptist Publication society, and the Baptist denomination work was made more effective in these states by him. When the Hispano-American war was declared Senator Tillman made Mr. Carroll chaplain of the Tenth United States volunteers, and since that time the public demanded that he should labor among them in various sections of the south. The Rev. Mr. Carroll married Miss Mary Simms, the first graduate of Benedict college. By this marriage he has four children—Dr. Ruth Carroll, Professor Barnabas R. Carroll, Seymour and Mary Crozer Carroll. Mrs. Carroll labored with him until her death. In 1914 Mr. Carroll married Miss Corle J. McDaniel of Laurens, S. C., who is also a graduate of Benedict college. Business Woman Aids Noted School Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone of St. Louis recently contributed to Roger Williams university at Nashville, Tenn., the necessary funds for the completion of the laundry department of the school. Mrs. Malone is the founder and president of the Povo college, at St. Louis, for the scientific and sanitary treatment of human hair. Many young women and girls have been given a start in business through the efforts of this noble woman. She contributes liberally each year to several worthy institutions for the education and uplift of our people. Baptist Young People's Convention. The annual meeting of the State Baptist Young People's union convention of North Carolina was held at Washington, N. C., Tuesday, Aug. 3. W. H. Kauckles, president, and Miss Mattle L. Garrett, secretary, made encouraging reports, as did also the delegates from the various unions. The attendance was large. Good Words From a Southern Paper. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle in concluding an editorial with reference to the recent heroic deed of John E. Stoner in rescuing a Miss Donovan from the sea at Atlantic City, N. J., says: "When you read of the next 'Negro outrage' just remember Stoner. A race is to be judged by its best representatives rather than by its worst." THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the womanhood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian religion really is he too often practices one thing and preaches another. Often the foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her less ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and discredit religion. This misrepresentation of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and rag time music in her home. She is loose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor becomes a woman of the street. Her home is a hangout for "sliding elders" and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and women and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church. They sit in the front heat, chew gum, talk and keep their "gang" giggling. To speak to them is to throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the choristers. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These children of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble. What we need is a new type of women in our homes as mothers, and a new type of women in our churches as leaders and examples for the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelling, mouth running, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be delivered. The struggle for today, is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln. SIX GOOD REASONS Why You Should Join The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 1.
