Bishop Clair Writes Itinerating Along Coast VOL. XLII NO. 15 Bis Itinerating Alo By Bishop M. W. Clair. We have just returned from a six-week tour of visiting our stations along the coast, beginning at Harper, Cape Palmas. A multiplicity of duties and the irregularity of steamers made it impossible for us to state the exact time of our arrival. For this reason the people had suggested to the boarding master that he request the captain of the ship to give one long, loud blast of the steamship whistle as a signal of our arrival in port. The journey from Monrovia to Harper is about 18 hours. Standing on the deck as the ship steamed into harbor we caught a glimpse of the beautiful cape with its long arm stretching far out into the mighty ocean as if defying it to make further approach upon the silent shore, while the angry waves rolled and tossed, dashing themselves against this rocky fortress demanding an inlet. How significant is the greatness of God! His power was there unfolding one silent, stern, immovable—the other surging, fighting, battling; each fulfilling its own place in the divine order of things. As soon as the boarding master had finished we were off for shore where we were most cordially welcomed by Rev. F. A. Price, district superintendent and a host of good people who had so quickly responded to the ship's signal. A few days later were joined by other members of the party, Dr. J. H. Reed, centenary organizer; Rev. W. L. Turner, dean of Stokes Bible and Training School, and Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Peters, who recently arrived from the United States to take up work in Sasstown. Our Cape Palmas Seminary is doing a splendid work under the principalship of Rev. J. T. Dayrell. A modern and more spacious structure is needed in order to give adequate accommodations for the many demands made upon it. The day school among the Nationals is taught in the Tuskegee Chapel. It is also doing a good work. Plans are on foot for a new church edifice. May God prosper these earnest believers in this effort. Mt. Scott stands as the second church in the conference. Here we found a faithful, progressive congregation. I was greatly impressed with the effort made on the part of the Nationals as well as the Liberians in their attempt to further the interests of the kingdom. We spent a week in Harper and vicinity holding series of meetings which brought us in sympathetic contact with the people. It was a week brimful of interest and inspiration. Our next point was about 35 miles up the coast—Caraway Mission—Miss A. E. Hall, superintendent. We arose early the morning of our departure, made our luggage ready and proceeded to the waterside where we were joined by Rev. Price and the other members of the party. Crossing the river in a canoe our journey began accompanied by forty carriers with six hammocks to assist us in our travel. The line of travel led through five towns. The first stop, for just a short rest, was Middletown. The people expressed much interest and curiosity in our party. Their friendly greeting and enthusiasm was inspiring. In a short time we picked up the trail for Fishtown, where we spent the night. The rest in Fishtown refreshed the party for the continuation of the journey to Garraway. It will b of interest to note how quickly messages travel without means of modern inventions. We did not enter a single town unaware; in fact, for the most part, we were met several miles from the town by a band --- The Washington Lee of people singing and bidding us welcome. It is wonderful how news travels here without wires. A band of workers and school children met us about two miles from Garraway Mission and lead us to the church. It was crowded with anxious faces beaming with joy. Many of them had come from the outlying sections the day before. After a cordial welcome we went up to the mission for rest and sleep. We spent three days here holding special services each day. Sunday in the midst of the service about one hundred persons approached the church singing and rejoicing most exultantly. Orer was given for them to become quiet so the service could continue. In the afternoon we went to oP River Station, where we found another community of enthusiastic people. After we had finished speaking, the chief of the town responded and expressed his delight at the coming of Christianity to his town people and as a further assurance of his appreciation he dashed (gave) us seven chickens and a boy to carry them. Garraway and its substations has wonderful possibilities. Much can be done for the upbuilding of the Master's Kingdom if we respond to their plea for preachers and teachers. Monday morning we were off for Grand Cess Mission, Miss H. T. Hooks, superintendent. A most enthusiastic crowd met us long before we reached the station and constituted an escort. This station is at a strategic point on the coast and is easily accessible Grand Cess being a port of entry. The church was crowded at each of the three services we held. This is truly a ripe field to harvest. There are hundreds of anxious hearts clamoring for the light. Miss Hooks with her assistant, Miss Collins, should have the prayers and help of the church in their effort to save these people. The next day we wended our way to Picanini Cess, the extreme end of the Cape Palmas District. Here again the people met us singing in joyful strains "Hallelujah to Jesus our Bishop has come." This was kept up for more than two miles—a big crowd going on before and as large a crowd coming behind. We halted at the Mission House for lunch and from there went into the town where we were entertained by the king. At night the service was held under a tree as the congregation was too large for the church. The king offered land and to help with a building if we would send them a teacher. We have here one of our National workers in charge, and he is going a good work among his people. Our next objective was Sasstown. The congregation came five miles to meet us and followed a like distance when we left. Here we have a large church and a bright prospect. The people were very happy to have brother and Sister Peters sent to them, and made large preparation for their reception. This is a good field just ready to be harvested. Uana Kroo is our next station. Rev. and Mrs. W. B. Williams have been in charge here for a number of years, but at present are in the United States on furlough and the work is looked after by National workers. The chief and people from the substations came to see us and expressed their interest and willingness to help. They are deeply interested in the mission and anxious for its continued growth. From Nana Kroo to Greenville we had quite an experience. On account of the scarcity of carriers it was necessary for us to walk the distance of twenty-five miles, which made it 1 o'clock in the morning before we WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 reached Greenville. The cordial welcome accorded us was full compensation for our weariness. The Rev. M. N. Williams is In charge of this district and is striving to make the work go. From Greenville we went up the river to Since Industrial School, Mrs. F. S. J. Robertson, superintendent. This is one of our well-established stations. Mrs. Robertson has gathered around her a band of zealous workers and the outlook here is promising. This station is 13 miles from Greenville and 10 miles from the head of navigation where we should have another large industrial plant. The Since District is in line of progress and the superintendent is pushing the work to victory. From Harper, Cape Palmas, to Greenville, since is a distance of about 150 miles. It was our pleasure to stop in all the principal towns and talk with the people. In many of the towns they have already built the church and are waiting patiently for a shepherd to lead them. It is pathetic to see these eager, pure-hearted, simple folk waiting. The call is loud for Christianity. They made such earnest pleas for teachers for their children. There are in all about 4,000 children in these towns hungry for the light of Christian education. This number simply represents the coast. There are thousands more beyond in the Hinterland. The field is truly ripe to harvest. Oh that the Christian men and women in the homeland could catch the vision and take Liberia on their hearts. In many instances when they had made their plea and we promised to send them teachers, they would reply: "Now my heart lay down." (An expression of satisfaction and confidence.) The following two striking incidents indicate how anxiously the unreached thousands in the Hinterland are waiting for the light: While at Garraway a delegation from the interior—several days' walk—came to call on us. They said: "For ten years we have been begging for a school for our children. The last time we were here Miss Hall said to us, 'our bishop will soon come and he will give you a teacher,' so we come to you." In May a delegation from five days' walk in the interior, came to Monrovia to interview us on the same question, and said: "We have been begging for a school for fourteen years; no teacher has come to us yet."' "Shall we not send them Bibles to read, Teachers and preachers and all that they need? Pity them, pity them, Christians at home." Liberia is an open door, and there are thousands of hungry hearts waiting to be fed with the bread of life. Shall we enter? Let each one of us take this as a personal question and do his bit for these needy people. The needs for the field are: $40,000.00 for school buildings and churches. $35,000.00 for a hospital. $15,000.00 for new workers. $5,000.00 for scholarships. $5,000.00 for new work. Fifty consecrated men and women. We must measure up the limit in the Centenary and settle in full without delay that these needs may be set. Liberia waits for her chance. May God open your hearts to this call. TURNER MEMORIAL A. M. E. CHURCH NEWS. "Peace, Harmony, Progress and Prosperity." The Sunday School was well attended. It was indeed a treat to see the little ones as they took to their parts, for their coming recital, and how they learned the original songs as dedicated to the school and beloved founder, Father Richard Allen. Supt. William Anderson, who is quite a singer and musical conductor, will direct the music in the children's part of the program of said recital which is to be given September 16th, beginning at 8 o'clock sharp. The Evangelistic Services being conducted by Sister Rosa Scott and Madam Agnes Hicks, as stated in last week's issue of The Bee, have been well attended, and have been spiritual feasts. Sister Scott has a fine pulpit voice and a striking personality. She does not compromise with sin nor meanness, and through her fearness those who have been on the fence are coming "over on the Lord's side." Sister Hicks is a whole choir by herself. She is a singer who can arouse her hearers. She has her work at heart and executes it with these motives. Welcome, Ladies! The pastor preached three soul-reviving sermons Sunday. The sky having cleared at Turner, and all former misunderstandings having been settled, Turner is moving forward. The church is determined to get rid of "every hindering cause," no matter what it is, nor who is sponsoring the same, whether it be former "priest, pulpit or pew." In view of this fact and the fact that the church is under the trustees of the Baltimore Conference, the pastor can give his thoughts to spiritual things. At all three of the services Sunday the pastor just gave himself over to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the writer can truthfully say that it has been years since he has heard as fine discourses as those that were delivered by the pastor yesterday. It was at the afternoon session that one of the visiting officers of a lodge of whom more later will be said, that in all his fraternal career he had never heard a sermon to equal that one as delivered by our pastor to a fraternal organization. The pastor's theme at this service was: "He who would have friends must show himself friendly." The occasion of the preaching of this most excellent, instructive and Christian sermon was the assembling of some officers and members of Hannibal Lodge, No. 9, and of Syracuse Lodge, No. 5, Knights of Pythias, as individuals to help Brother Samuel Smith, also out of respect for him, whom the writer congratulates, for he believes the brother to be a stanch, true and faithful trustee, and is standing shoulder to shoulder with the present pastor. Those who were present and got there just about five minutes before the terrific shower were as follows: Brothers A. C. Wanzer, C. C.; G. T. Hughes, ex-Grand Chancellor and Master of Works; James E. Givens, John Jackson and W. W. Green, all of Hannibal Lodge, and Brother L. R. Nance of Syracuse Lodge. The Orpheus Dramatic Club furnished the music for the occasion. They rendered some of their finest classical musical selections, and also some Jubilee Songs, among the latter, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and "Good News." The officers of the club who graced the occasion with their presence were as follows: Mrs. M. V. Terry, directress; Mr. Ernest Moxley, President; Mrs. Frances E. Payne, Pianist; Mr. L. M Thompson, Manager; Mr James E. McKenny, violin, and Mr. John Hall, mandolin. Aside from the foregoing there are thirty members. This club is a decided credit to Washington and the colored race. The members of Turner are going to show them how much they appreciate their talent aside from their kindness in coming to ue free gratis by being present next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Pythian Temple to hear them render "Saul," the same The Blaine Invincible Club which was organized a half century ago under the leadership of the dyed-in-the-wool Republican, the late Perry H. Carson, with its able president, Frank Welsh turned out en masse August 24 and filed into the White House at 1 o'clock to pay their respects to President Harding. They were accompanied by the National League of Republican Women's Clubs, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, president; Miss E. A. Chase; National Organizer; Miss R. E. Bell; together with Mrs. Mildred Coleman and a large number of its members. The delegation was so large they had just time to file in, receive a hearty handshake from the President and pass out. Mrs. Layton was spokesman for the women but owing to lack of time could not speak, but mailed the same that day, which was as follows: Mr. President: We realize that you are confronting a situation now and have been ever since you were sworn in as President of these United States that no other President has ever had. But we come today as fellow Republicans, as women to again assure you of our loyalty to you and the Grand Old Party. We are not here to ask for jobs alone, but for an opportunity and equal protection before the law and we will never be satisfied with anything else. We are American citizens. We have earned it with the ballot, upon all the battlefields of our own country and upon the high seas and in foreign lands. From nearly 300 years in slavery and after 56 years of escape from bondage, yet held down by unjust discrimination, Jim Crowism, race prejudice, disfranchisement, peonage, lynching, and almost everything that would completely crush a people; yet with all this we are standing today on the debris loyal, patriotic, 100 per cent Americans; standing as it were, an Aaron and a Hur to you and the Republican party. Our people all over the United States have their ear to the ground anxiously awaiting to catch the sound that some of our people have received worth while appointments that the Republican United States Senate will confirm them whether the solid south so desires it or not; waiting to see the enforcement of every clause of the Constitution of the United States that gives to every American citizen his rights, protection of life, limb and property whether he lives in Maine or Georgia; equal admittance to the greatest schools of learning; open to appointment to positions of honor and trust the same as any other citizen. We do not desire to be specialized, but in the general summing up, some to be given under the auspices of the James Reese Europe Post, No. 5, American Legion. The trustees held a meeting Monday night, but as space is limited, the results will be given in next week's news. z Turner is advancing. We are going to organize a "Gideon's Band," and only those who are willing to stand by the pure Word of God; the Church, Justice, Humanity, Right and the present pastor and no other, are going-to be requested to join. We solicit new members. This is one of the best fields in the city for those who desire to work for God without pay, and who do not set a money value on their services for God. We want people who are willing to make a sacrifice to help upbuild the Redeemer's Kingdom and uplift fallen humanity. We want members who will stand with the pastor as long as he is in the right, and should he turn from this to go to him and tell him wherein he is wrong and not fight him! We have but one parsonage, and but one pastor. It takes all we can "rake and scrape" to do justice by him, and meet the current expenses.' No other church even as large as our largest would be willing to keep its "nose on the grindstone" to supply a parsonage, or home rather, for an expastor and pay bills that he is forever sending in and asking for an parsonage at reduced rental, esseci- times, somewhere, some of us expect to come to the front where the world may see and know. The women of America had much to do with the unparalleled success of November, 1920. We are organizing. We are growing stronger every day. We are praying, working and hoping for much; but we are mindful of the fact that the laborer is worthy of his hire and when he continues to work and receives no compensation he must and will seek work elsewhere. Again we are asking for a silver chord to be struck from the Executive Mansion and the Houses of Congress and the Republicans from every quarter of the globe catch the same and strike one harmonious chord that the world can hear and then we all can sing "America the land of the free and the home of the brave" and it will be a reality. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, President National League of Republican Women's Forums; Honorary Life Member Blaine Invincible Republican Club. The only colored woman on Executive Board, State Republican Club of District of Columbia. The reply: The White House, Washington, Aug. 20, 1921. My dear Mrs. Layton: Your letter of August 24, addressed to the President has been brought to his attention and was noted with much interest and appreciation. The President asks me in acknowledging it to assume you that your interest finds reflection in his own aims and aspirations, and that he earnestly hopes that substantial accomplishment along the lines of your interest may be possible in the not very distant future. ally when he has a good government job, has held a large church during the vacation of the pastor during the summer, and, worst of all, as rumor goes, is organizing a church at 4th and O Streets Northwest, to be incorporated and known at St. Marks. The writer got this information from Brother Isaiah Parry, a member of the Trustee Board. We want and shall have the parsonage vacated (if the same is not done before this article is published), and we are going to refuse to pay any more money to a man who paid ten months' rent for a roof for his own wife. These things are the cause of the dissension and confusion which has prevailed at Turner. It must s top, and at once. We need members who are not afraid, who are one-faced and who will work for God without charge. Reader, will you join? "Come thou and go with us and we will do thee good." Mrs. Daisy Tabbs and Master Charles A. Tabbs, wife and son of Mr. Charles J. Tabbs, the successful ice dealer of 717 Kenyon Street, have just returned to the city from their month's pleasant vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Va. While there they were the recipients of much attention from their friends. The White House. Geo. B. Christian, Jr. Secretary to the President. A PLEASANT VACATION.

It would make these men, and’any like. them, real and not fancied leadeis;. if such a-course is not’ pursued, and “things continue ‘as now going, there will be a revulsion by the ‘people themselves, that will not be. stayed, and that. will surpass anything that has: ever happened in the race. Things point that way now.” Do They Point? Do things point to the ‘end that is expressed .in the above’. statement? Let's see: Colored American citizens in -the South without the ballot, and no hand held out to help them, except the lone hand of Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts, are stirred from ceri- ter circumference. New alliances and new leaderships are in’ the making. What this will mean, only. time can tell, but there are things going on, and they are not under cover. In northern and middle West voting states, where the colored votes under normal conditions, are~the balance of power, there is-a aifesprend feeling of disgust and disappointment, and the people are actually looking in three different directions:’ Friendly Democrats; Socialsts and Indepen- -dents. 7 é They point to the fact that &ven the Republican newspapers have fail- ‘ed to back up the program of human rights declated for in the Republican platform adopted in Chicago, Here is a statement. from .a_ nationally known ‘citizen: ““The New. York ‘World, an avowed Democratic news- ‘paper, gives us a far better play of justice than the so-called Republican Chicago Tribune, and ‘a number like ‘it. Last fall, the Tribune supported President Harding on the Republican ‘ticket; all other candidates endorsed were’ Democrats, including the Gov- ernor and scounty. officers, with the fone exception of Senator McKinley. We have got to show some of that [same kind of independence if we get anywhere politically. That ‘goes. for cofored Americans everywhere in America.” Politically, the signs of the times point to either a radical change of policy on the part of Republicans, or a political catastrophe unequaled in the history of the party. “We shall ‘see what we shall see.” ‘KEEPING WELL MEANS ‘A CONSTANT FIGHT AGAINST CATARRH ne SSR RonT ceed ST aS SELL apt cataith olin 9 spat of samrel mer, a nemefy which bans « E DR.

The, Bee thinks that it will require the united-effort of both colored and white women to stop it. The part that the colored women of the country must take is to educate their boys and men. Thé Bee believes that when the act which causes lynching is perpetrated that it is done in ignorance of what happened to the other fellow. Educate the. brute to. read and know his wrong. He may perhaps have had no higher standard. The white women must cease looking upon the lyncher | ‘asa hero and-consider-him ‘the brute which he is-with no respect for law. If they do this lynching will soon be a thing of the past: The white man is in his glory when abetted by the. white women, without her’ stamp of approval his efforts weaken. Let the white woman play her part ‘in correcting the-évil of-lynching. | .CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION. “ Oné of the biggest changes that has taken place in the Public Schools of ‘the District of Columbia’ since the year’ 1906 is the pro- motion of. the former principal of Dunbar High School to the posi- tion of Assistant Superintendent of Schools. : .

Let.us dsk ourselves have we been faithful in our dealings with the work at our door? The Day Nursery, is one of God's institutions, established to help the children in our midst. Heed the appeal being made. Do we-practice what we preach? “The poor ye have always.” Every one of us, if we love’ to help good work can aid this cause. You can be one of the numbers to prevent the little ones from going wrong by send- ing your dollar as early as possible for membership to aid in the maintenance. of the work. Send the dollar to either the following addresses: 1523 Cor- coran, Street. Northwest or 1135 New Jersey Avenue. God is aiding the work because of His great-love for all His, children, The Day Nursery in--its. uplift work is“ cooperating. with Him. We are doing our best and the supply for.our many needs will come, from God through our dear people in this beautiful city. Let us deem it a-high privilege to be His co-worker. Aim: to do the thing we promise; perform ‘our duty and our efforts be- gan in hope can but reach‘ an honor- able conclusion. During the last week our nursery has been honored with: several visitors who voluntarily consented todo some @onstructive work in its-behalf, One of them offered to contribute one dollar monthly to help its upkeep. And a young woman teacher made the same promise, Who’ will send their tiames "to do similar work? “Address executive secretary, 1135 New’ Jersey Avenue.

Live Agents Wanted in Every Community, Liberal (Concluding Chapter.) "THE WITCH'S HOLE." Mrs. Elliot's sister, Mme. Dupree, commenced her journey to America the next day after she received Aunt Katy's letter. She was afire; she wanted to telegraph William—but no—was it true? She remembered now how dark William seemed, and what she had been praising in him as a handsome roundness of feature. Could it be true? What had the other child become? He must be a man as old as William. What good would it do to prove this wretched thing? Should she not drop it? It made no difference—in France. She remembered that she had never spoken to William about that tattoo; had never heard him speak of it. Her mind ran repeatedly through all the events of her visit with the Elliots over twenty years ago. With all this tumult in her soul she sailed out upon the tumultuous Atlantic, and then alone with the great lonesomeness of being one among many strangers, and, like an atom on the inhospitable and interminable ocean, she became still more introspective and doubtful of the wisdom of her way. Should she not have seen William? Should she not have asked the advice of Mr. Dupree? The French people seem so cool and sensible about such things. Should she not have sent the letter to her sister? Or, to her New Orleans sister, and gotten her viewpoint? Should she not have destroyed the letter altogether and then written Aunt Katy a threat in her own name, or a complete rejection and signed the name of William to it? That might have stopped Aunt Katy from ever writing again. Perhaps she might still do something like that. But how could she ever explain her sudden coming. And, how could she ever keep such a secret anyway? Ohl the fascination with which fate draws us on—to see and to know fully. The victim seems to ensnare himself. The criminal tends to become his own betrayer, his own judge and sometimes his own executioner. There is humor in fate; and irony and sarcasm. When she reached Augusta, she engaged a man to drive her out to "Elliot's Place." This man having agreed to do so for a very moderate fee, noticed her surprise and explained: "Oh, me an' some o' the boys' wuz goin' aout anyhoaw this evening. Some n—rs air, to be lynched about thare tonight." To this she made no reply; it made her feel faint; she remembered Paris and civilization; the contrast was humiliating. She mused: "Can it be. Oh, can it be that my nephew, my real nephew is a member of a group that can be lynched?" The Elliots had been silent during the awful preparations of that day. Silence does not always mean consent; it is sometimes the expression of unwilling acquiescence, or helplessness, or fear. The better South has been almost silent during a century of lynch-law, and even now is but barely audible. When Jim and Aunt Katy were led by the mob to the tree back of Elliot's barn, he went out apparently to protest, though he knew the futility of protest at this stage of the proceedings. The causes of this present storm had been operating for days and weeks and years. The seed of long ago had now become fruit. After he had gone out, Madame Duprée came in. She found Mrs. Elliot alone, pale and haggard, and starling wildly from the easy chair in which she sat, and from which she seemed unable to rise. She had been prostrated by the terrible events of the day, and although her sister had wired from New York and phoned hastily from Augusta, she was yet puzzled by the suddenness and the coincidence of this visit. "Oh! My good sister!" she greeted, "you have come! It is horrible! I always said no good would come of it, and now Jim and Aunt Katy"— Madame Dupree, because of what was in her own mind, anticipated and misinterpreted the allusions of her sister, and interrupted: "Then you know about it? Then it is true?" Mrs. Elliot, still busy with her own thoughts, continued: "Have they told you? Oh, it is terrible. It will spoil your visit; I am sorry you came into it." Madame Dupree fell limp into a great chair to relieve herself and her sister of the pain of further speech, she handed Mrs. Elliot Aunt Katy's latter to show the source and the extent of her knowledge of the case and the cause of her unexpected visit to America. What pen can describe the infinite agony of that minute? The stricken mother jumped to her feet with the stare of madness in her eyes. "Oh God of Vengeance!" she exclaimed. "I mean they are lynching him now—Jim—William!" Shots and yells rang out as if to punctuate this terrible announcement and interpret it to the bewildered mind of Madame Dupree. Mrs. Elliot bounded through the door like a bereaved mother lioness, and her sister followed. When they reached the edge of the mob, they could see dangling under the tree a few feet from the ground what had been a human body and was now a mass of torn flesh and tattered clothes. Buckshot and rifle balls had rioted through this human form. And, there was Aunt Katy standing with her back to the tree near the body, and holding the crowd at bay with a double-barreled shotgun which she had evidently managed to seize during the excitement attending the shooting of Jim. "I told you to keep the old witch tied!" said a voice. With a fierce look of the African jungle, more feline than human, and with a coolness which for the moment commanded universal regard, Aunt Katy was 'saying in her dialect: "I do not want to kill. I do not want to live. I mean to tell John Elliot: His own son has been killed!" "We know that," put in Brough, "I mean Mis' Elliot's son. I can prove it. I want to prove it to John Elliot and die! She did not know, but I know, that her child had a blue mark under its arm. This is her child. Look and see! William in France is Essie's child. I changed them when yo' child got burned, when you went off to France. Ha! Hall Ha!!!" And in the light of torch and lantern she pointed an inexorable finger at John Elliot. The mob stood silent for a moment as if under the spell of a real witch. A voice broke the spell: "It's a damned liel!" It was the voice of John Elliot. The mob, as if released from the spell by the magic of this oath, was about to make a desperate move on Aunt Katy, when a female voice put in: "I can tell. I am William's aunt from France. I tattooed his arm when he was an infant." Ignoring Aunt Katy for the moment, Brough, the mob leader, took a lantern and led the newcomer to the dangling figure. Trembling, she lifted the mutilated arm, pushed up the remnant of a blood-sqaked sleeve, and fell fainting as she said: "The tattoo! It—is true!" This sudden turn of affairs killed the enthusiasm of the mob, and while attention was diverted from her, Aunt Katy slipped away, and a heavy plunge was heard in the great cistern that stood near. Mrs. Elliot never regained her reason. "Vengeance of the Gods!" is her only coherent utterance. When Essie and Mary reached St. Louis, they were arrested and their extradition was demanded by the executive of that state. Their plight was, seemingly, hopeless, as the governor of Arkansas had pledged "protection and a fair trial." Then for some unknown reason the governor of Missouri announced that extradition was denied. Those close to him said that he received a letter from a great planner who seemed to be the centre of the trouble, and whose name had been prominent in all dispatches; and, that this letter said it was all a mistake to charge the two women with any connection with the crimes; that they were innocent, and that they could not secure justice and might be mobbed if they were sent back. They are now living in France with William Elliot, Captain of the French Army. Aunt Katy was never removed from the grave she had chosen. The cistern was filled up with rocks and soil, and the resultant crater is known today as "Witch's Hole," where a great "conjure woman" or sorceress is said to have disappeared. The End.

Mr. Bowser, who is a graduate of Harvard University, where he specialized in English, is one of the most prolific writers today. The title of this series is: "Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo: Brown," and they are all that the title implies. There is a laugh in most every line. Their presentation to the readers of this paper has been made possible by the K. N. F. Service, with which this paper is identified. The Bee readers enjoyed to a high degree the thrilling story of the 'Vengeance of the Gods," because it is a true picture of the traditions of the Southland. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. Two weeks ago I made mention of the fact that Columbia Lodge, No. 85, I. B. P. O. E. of W. was negotiating for a band to accompany them on their trip to Boston to the annual convention. Well, since that time the delegation has been to Boston and returned. No band was taken along, and consequently the lodge is quite a large sum of money to the good. Those members who voted against the proposition showed good judgment. One of our cotemporaries, through the columns last week, made a weak attempt to belittle Columbia Lodge and ridicule its appearance in the line of march for not being accompanied by a band. It was truthfully classed as being the richest and largest lodge in the realms of Elkdom, and for this reason our contemporary claims it should have had a band. I would like to know what benefit would have been gained by paying out one or two thousand dollars for mere show? Would this make the lodge any richer? The trouble with some of our fraternal organizations today is that there is entirely too much outside show. This does not mean to say that Morning Star Lodge should not have taken a band. Quite a difference. Morning Star Lodge has a band of its own, and naturally should have taken it 'along. But I would like to see Columbia Lodge, with a membership of over a thousand, have a band of its own—a real Elks' band. If Morning Star Lodge can do it, why cannot Columbia? Well, my friend Rufus G. Byars, has hung out his shingle and launched out as a real theatrical promoter. He has opened offices on You Street, announcing the sale of shares in the two theatres which he has leased, one on You Street and one on Seventh Street. The You Street theatre will have space for two stores, and the Seventh Street theatre will have space for four. Mr. Byars, with his wide experience in the theatrical business, will no doubt have great success. For three days last week Warrenton, Va., was honored with two new professors from Washington, D.C., and from a new university. One styled himself as a jazzhound, the other as a professor of electrical engineering with four cars. I wonder if Robert Ford and Raymond Middleton will be able to hold their own in Warrenton? I made a visit to Lewis Thomas' Cabaret last week, and was surprised at what I saw. One on visiting this place would hardly believe that it was the same place. Mr. Thomas has given it a general overhauling and renovating from the roof to the basement, and is preparing for a big business this fall. This is an ideal place for idle hours. "Why is it that a man who thinks he is a business man will get up in the morning off an advertised mattress, lather his face with an advertised brush, from advertised soap, shave himself with an advertised razor, take off advertised pajamas, put on advertised underwear, advertised hose, advertised shirt, advertised tie and advertised suit, light an advertised cigar, drink an advertised beverage on his way down town and go to his store, where he turns down an advertising solicitor for his home paper on the ground that advertising does not pay—and then sits down and wonders why business is dull?"—Savannah Tribune. The above is true. Why not advertise in The Bee and business won't be dull.

DEPARTMENTS ALREAIIY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA KLU KLUX ADMITS WOMEN. (By the Associated Negro Press.) St. Louis, Mo.—Announcement has been made by William Joseph Simmons, imperial wizard of the knights of the Ku Klux Klan, to the effect that at the meeting of imperial kloncillium of the organization held last week it was unanimously voted to admit women into membership in the Ku Klux Klan, and the constitution of the ordr was amended to read from this time forward should be composed of "male and female persons" instead of "male" only, as originally appeared in the constitution of the organization. "I am now at work preparing the details concerning the admission of women into the organization," said Col. Simmons Saturday, "and within the next two or three weeks I will have the complete plans ready for the admitting of women into the organization." QUELLING RACE RIOT. Cincinnati, Ohio, August 27. Quelling an incipient race riot at 6th and John Streets last Wednesday night, police arrested one white man and three colored after two of the latter had been shot. All were conveyed to the general hospital. William Lawson, twenty-six years old, Quinade is a medicated pomade scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeeby Drug Co., 10 Greene street, New York City.

Lawson remonstrated with the man, who, he declares, endeavored to strike him. Lawson, however, hit first, knocking the colored fellow into the gutter. The latter received a scalp wound. The incident was witnessed by more than a score of colored persons, who, police declare, idle about the corner. They threatened Lawson and followed him, pursued by them, ran to Sixth and Plum Streets before he drew his revolver and fired two shots. COLORED CHOIR MAKES BIG HIT DURING PAGEANT.

Colored Singers a Hit. A decided impression was made on the gathering by the several songs furnished by the choir of thirty colored American singers, who are employed in various capacities at the Department of the Interior. Dressed in plantation costume, the colored Americans put on "Old Black Joe," "Ise Gwine Back to Dixie," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and several other Southern melodies under the leadership of "Uncle Mose" Edmonds. Representatives of several local organizations, who were present, invited the colored chorus to appear later at their public functions, WATCH THE WONDERFUL RE-TRY ADVERTISING AND SULTS. TO LAUGH!

GET TOGETHER FOR THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Blaine Invincible Republican Club appeals to every person in every state, city, town and county to assist in stopping mob violence, Jim Crow cars, and the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. We are not getting as much consideration in the way of protection as we did thirty years ago. We are divided. We must get together and organize. The conditions which exist at this time shows very clearly that whatever is done or what will be done must be done by them all. Power, is in the strength of the race and not in single leadership. We especially ask every Christian to offer up a prayer each day for the salvation of this country and help us to break down these laws which are destroying the peace and happiness of American citizens. The Blaine Invincible Republican Club is looking to every church, society, association, club and organization to aid and assist them in this national movement which will settle once for all times our rights and privileges guaranteed to us under the Constitution of the United States. We hold that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution and our civil rights give us the same rights that all other American people. It was the Republican party which gave us these rights and we have stood by them ever since for their square dealings toward humanity. We are looking to the Republican party to enforce laws which will mean peace to all of its citizens, but we need to be organized to help them to enforce them. Let every church, association, society, club and organization send their delegates to the National Convention at the Nation's Capital, November 30, 1921. It will add much to the convention if your organization, club or society would attend in a body. We have got to show to the world that we are organized and that we are organized for one thing only, that is to have the same consideration as every other American citizen. We know we are entitled to every right and protection that every other person gets and we want it. Then let us organize, use every effort to put men in the American Congress who knows that America means life, liberty and happiness regardless of race or conditions. Don't forget to elect your delegates to the convention. ```markdown ``` TO CLOSE ESTATE.
