BETHEL LITERARY

A large and appreciative audience
was present at the meeting o. the
Bethel Literary and Historical As
sociation, Tuesday evening to hear
Mr.. Archibald H. Grimke. on the
l;fe of Dunbar. He said in part:
Some people are born with a
silver spoon in their mouth, but Dun
bar was born with a song in his
heart. Though he lived but thirty
four years, his songs will live on for
many years to come, in the hearts of
the people of his race. His was a
song of life, of love, of faith, where
youth and old age sun themselves
Though born in poverty, he saw and
heard what others had not seen nor
heard.
His secret power was due to gen
iuS, which God gives to but a chosen
few. Genius demands utterance, ar
tistic expression. His title to rank
as a genius was indisputable. Genius
is given to but one in million. II
is begotten of God Though black
and poor, he was among the elect Of
his people.
The speaker then discussed some OF
the phases leading up to the writing
Of some of his poems, such as "The
Songs" The Deserted Cabin" 'Lov,
ers' Lane"
At the close of the paper, Miss
Emma Patterson recited When
Melindy sings" and his song Honey
Child" was rendered by Miss Lola
Johnson.
Instrumental selections were giver
by Miss Erma Welsh and Mr.. J. w
Braxton.

PROFITABLE READING


People in general who are not ac-
lively engaged in business have but
vague idea of the full meaning of the
term Credit. They know that it
means buying goods without paying
cash at the time, but beyond that
they have no idea of its help and con-
venience.
The Peter Grogan and Sons Com
pany, Of 8I7-823 Seventh street, has
published a little booklet in which
the helpful features of credit are ex-
planned in most simple manner.
1t tells you that credit is a part of
the buying power belonging to every
person, and explains why they treat
credit as a customers right. Then
it shows how you can derive the max
imum benefit by keeping your ac-
counts in good standing and adding
to them as your needs demand.
If it's not convenient for you to
call at their store, ask that one
Of these booklets be mailed to you.
They want every person who is inter
ested in furnishing a home to have
one and will consider such request
as a favor.

The Mu So Lit
4 SOCIAL ROW
A SPLIT IN THE MU-SO-LIT
CLUB


As The Bee predicted some time
ago, a social row would certainly
exist among the social factions of the
city.
At a meeting of the Mu-So-Lit
Club few evenings ago the club
decided to have an election of Off
GERS. The contest was between As
sistant United States Attorney James
A. Cobb and DR.. w. Bruce Evans,
principal of the Armstrong Normal
Training School. The outs were lined
against what has been styled the
offceholders, who have been predomi-
nant factors in the Mu-So-Lit Club.
Mr.. Cobb was supposed to have
represented the Office holders. For
some time the ants have been can
vassing for votes unbeknown to
the literary membership of the or
ganization. On the evening in ques-
ton both Mr.. Cobb and Mr.. Evans
were nominated respectively for the
position of president of the Mu-So-
Lit Club. The contest was close and
the election of DR.. Evans was declar-
ed illegal because he permitted three
members of his school TO vote who
were unfnancial. This charge didn't
disturb the Evans followers in the
least Many of the administration
faces became disgusted, especially
when a motion was made that the
Mu-S -So-Lit Club would give no re-
ception during Inauguration week.
The ants were surprised when
the administration forces voted for
this resolution, because the prime
motive of the ants was not to allow
the Mu-So-Lit Club to give a social
function in opposition to the Inaugu-
I a Welcome Club.
It now develops that at least two
thirds of the administration members
have Withdrawn from the Mu-So-Lit
Club and resurrected the Monacar
Club which has been dead for eight
years. The Monacons have decided
to give select reception to their
friends and such other select citizen:
who may be honored with an in
vitation.
The seeded members declare tha
there is too much politics in the Mu,
So-Lit Club for social enjoyment
that a social club must eliminate pol

1tICS.
The followers of DR.. w. Bruce
Evans express themselves otherwise.
They say that they had no objections
to Attorney Cobb; that he is a fair,
good and honest young man, but,
Mr.. Robert H. Terrell has attempted
to iun the Mu-So-Lit Club ever since
he has been a member and the mo-
ment that he nominated Mr.. Cobb the
fight began and Mr.. Cobb'5 defeat
was black eye to Mr. Terrell who is
.persona non grata to the majority
lule in the Mu-So-Lit Club.
That the Monacan Club is a dead
organization and is only resurrected
to discriminate against the best citi-
zens of Washington. Many regrets
are expressed for Mr.. Cobb because
he was the candidate of Mr.. Terrell
and Mr.. Cobb's defeat is a black eye
for Mr.. Terrell.

a matter of fact, says this correspon-
dent, Mr.. Anderson has every reason
to believe that he will be re-appointed
by President TAFT upon the expira-
ton of his present commission, and
that" Old New Town" is good enough
for him to live and die III. Credencc
can be attached to this, as Manhattan
Isle is very much to Charlie" An
derson'S liking and his popularity is
such that he need have no fear of
his leadership waning.
So, it will be safe to count on four
more years at least of Collector An
derson. An intimate friend of As
sistant Superintendent Roscoe Conk-
ling Bruce denies that the latter has
the slightest intention of quitting his
very congenial post-just in the line
of his attainments and in an environ
ment where his happiest days have
been spent-and that the Haitien
mission is far froz1 his thoughts. It
is further stated that those who have
; been industriousIy circulating such a
/ rumor are anxious to get his place,
or imagine they might benefit by a
change of administration in the
Washington schools.

SOME CANARDS EXPLODED.
With the Inauguration business at
fever heat, the problem of What
Shall the Harvest Be?"-or what
shall be done about the federal pat
rOnage-has been permitted to rest
for a moment AS there is no way
to read the mind of Judge Taft, if he
has made up his mind at all with ref
erence to the colored brother-which
is doubtful-there is nothing to do
but bide a wee and dinna fret" At
any rate, some absurd canards are
being exploded by the frank manner
in which the leading race journals
of the country and their national
correspondents have discussed the
burning question.
In this connection, it may be stat
ed that close friend of Mr.. Charles
w. Anderson writes that there is not
scintilla of truth in the circulated
story that Mr. Anderson is after the
Haitien mission, and that the person
who gave out the rumor that to go
to Port-au-Prince had been "the
dream of his life" possessed an inn
agination that would make Rider
Haggard turn green with envy. AS
The Washington bee., 1909-01-23

If Mr.. Napier, of Tennesse, has
ambitions of a federal aspect, it IS
said that they do not lie outside of the
United States border. 1t will be re-
membered that he refused the Ba-
hian consulate some years ago, not
caring to leave these shores-nor his
beloved South, in the future of which
he has abiding faith.
All of this clearing of the brush
brings us up to the gratifying fact
that there is no likelihood of DR..
Harry w. Furhiss' recall from
Haiti. His splendid record as lin
guist, diplomat and broad-minded
statesman has made him a strong fig
ure in the Haitien mind, and has
given him an invincible standing with
the state department here, He has
held aloof from all entanglements,
and is now as acceptable to theSimOn
government as he was to the Nord
Alexis regime. 1t is not to be
President Taft's policy to remove a
man merely to make a place for an
other, if the incumbent is doing we'll.
Minister Furniss' permanent post
office address will be the United
States Legation, Port-au-Prince,

4 Great Institution
A GREAT GIFT
FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA
MUTUAL AND PROVIDENT
ASSOCIATION.

AOOON1E1 lOlN.
The Bee is in receipt of one of the
most unique clocks that has ever
been put upon the market 1t is a
gift from the North Carolina Mutual
and Provident Association, of Dur
ham, North Carolina; one of the
largest insurance companies in the
United States.
The clock is gilded with gold, with
"a perpetual calendar attached, of the
twelve months in the year of 1909.
The business of the company is as
prosperous and as strong as this
handsome clock indicates. The Bee
is confident that the association is one
that should he supported by the
American people. This company does
business in ffty-nine cities and coun-
ties of North and South Carolina,
and no doubt branch Offices will be
established in this city and many OF
the Northern and Eastern States.
As an evidence of its strength and
reliability, there is on deposit in the
state treasury of North Carolina, ten
thousand dollars in cold cash. This
deposit is guarantee to the policy
holders who may be connected with
the company. Any one wishing to
see this handsome clock of perpetual
motion should drop into The Bee
office and see the Editors present,
The officers of the company are
John Merrick, president and founder
DR.. A. NJ. Moore, secretary, treasurer
and medical director; c. c. Spauld-
ing, vice president and general man
ager. These men are the highest type
of Negro development whose reputa-
ton is above reproach.

MISS CHASE REAPPOINTED

MISS CHASE REAPPOINTED.
President Roosevelt has ordered
the reinstatement of Miss Fannie c.
Chase, in the Government Printing
Office. on the recommendation of
Public Printer James D. Donnelly.
This is a deserving compliment to
Miss Chase who has a record of be-
ing the fastest folder in the Office.
At the time folding machines were
introduced in the office, Miss Chase
was put up against the machines.
She was successful in beating the
machine as the record will show.
