Their Annual Outing.

All had q good time on the tenth
visit to Trenton pond last week.
Many Of them declare that this occa-
sion surpassed their past experiences
al this lovely outing spot. One who
is not familiar with the scene Of this
gathering can form but a poor concep-
ton Of the remarkable advantages
which it affords for a camping party.
The pond itself is really an inland
land OF no small proportions, being
three and a half miles long. and one
mile wide. and lying between wooded
slopes on the one hand and green un-
dulations on the other The mill
house which stood vacant. afforded
shelter for the girls Of the party
while the young men preferred to
..ssp under the four large tents that
they had carried with them. The
pond abounded in fish and the party
found both profit and entertainment
in the use of the hook line and gil
nets as well as in hauling the seine.
By this means ample fresh water food
was provided for the party At
neighboring farm houses all the vege-
tables Of the season as well as chickens
and lamb were procured, and nature
had generously planted watermelon
patch hard by the mill.
Among the pastimes in which the
party found no lack Of entertainment
were fishing, rowing, INCORPORATING
and target shooting, for outdoors and
cards and dancing at night in the
mill house.
Those present were: Mrs. W. P.
Venable, who chaperoned the party,
Misses Minnie Blanton, Carrie Kyle,
Edith Duvall Janet Duvall, Sallie
Cox, Virginia Paulett, Mildred Rich
ardson. Anne Richardson, Sue Gray
Flippen, Of Cumberland. The young
men were: Messrs. A. R. Boykin,
Gordon Paulett, Gray Paulett, R. L.

LOyal 10 Prince Edward.

Alr. c. T. Pickett was in Richmond
recently. looking after the sale of his
water, and stepping into a cigar store
on Broad street asked for a Prince
Edward cigar and the dealer rather
curtly said, There is no such cigar
made You don't know what YOU
are talking about, whereupon Prince
Edwards friend said, you can't tell
me sir that don't know what am
talking about, and if you viii come
from behind the counter | will wipe
the floor with your beastly body
And the dealer weighed quite 300
pounds. But he didn't come from
behind the counter. Nothing daunted.
however, friend Pickett went TO the
next cigar stand. and continued to ask
for the Prince Edward. " This time
the salesman politely said, We
haven't the Prince Edward, but we
do handle the Prince George. And
the Prince George took the place Of
the Prince Edward.

Sunday in The Churches.

Owning 10 the absence Of the
pastors there was no preaching at the
Baptist OF Episcopal churches on last
Sunday
Rev. Mr. Macdanaid again occupied
the pulpit Of the Presbyterian church
and DR. Hatcher preached for his peo-
pie in the morning, and at the Union
Services at night. Dr. Hatcher has
been preaching day by day for the
past two weeks. first az Phenix, and
then Appomat,ox, .at each Of which
places the word has been greatly
blessed. The earnest work seems TO
agree with Dr. Hatcher He looks
as though he had been resting ct
some Saratoga or seaside.

hearty thanks, and high appreciation
Of the honor conferred on me at the
late primary election. I accept with
thanks the compliment paid me by
Mr.. Brock in his card. and assure him
and those who voted for him that !

for him they only exercised the same
right that those did who voted for ne
and believe all Of the voters will be
for me at the November election, and
I hope 70 lead the State Ticket" in
Prince Edward.
The vote and support received at
every precinct gives me the very best
assurance that | am still held in high
esteem by my fellow-citizens, and this
thought that tickles my vanity-puts
me in love with all mankind and
strengthens my desire to put forth
every effort TO measure up to the full
standard Of a faithful worker for the
best interest Of my county, and my
state.
In order to represent you intelli-
gently and acceptably I wish the bene-
fit Of your views and cooperation
must know your wants in order to
undertake to obtain them-therefore
with the object Of coming in close as
sociation with the people, wish 10

during the coming canvass, when the
Democratic speakers are making their
rounds for the State and County tick

social intercourse and receive such
suggestions, and take under cOnsidera-
ton such matters as they may deem
proper.
Very Respectfully, &c,

Friday OF last week VIII I'VE IS

than that it had been prepared by the

The Washington bee., 1909-10-16
WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT.

The eyes of the world are on Washington.
One-third of Washingtons population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
lied in place they would make city larger
than Richmond, Virginia
There are seven theatres in Washington,
supported by a white population of 24I,e23-
and few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
ized in the galleries, the only place to which the
Negro is admitted.
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST
CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of
Washington, where colored professional or
business man or woman and there are hun
dreds of them in the National Capital, can OBJ
tain business quarters.
JUST THINK OF 1T! Ioo,o 900 enterprising,
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preiu-
dice, swept completely out of the business dis
tTiCt of Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
Gus, amusement loving people deprived of
every form of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most huniliating con-
ditions
Every colored man and woman IN Wash
ington.
Every colored man and woman VISITING
Washington.
Every colored man and woman in America
familiar with the true state of the Negro in
Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes, for the
Negroes. is A NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it.
Any enterprise resting its hope of success
upon NECESSITY is bound to be a Sue
CESS
"A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECES-
SITY.
Approaching to the utmost that fact
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central
Business District of the city of Washington
magnificent theatre seating capacity $780, and
store and Office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
qulrements of prosperous professional and busi-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
tlTSt-It is absolutely safe.
Second-It promises enormous possibilities
as a money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with few dollars to invest and you
are such man or woman or you would not
have read this far.
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILD
ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care
fully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants
are available for the Offices, that dozens of
merchants are ready to rent the stores and
that 100000 people are anxious to patronize
the theatre exclusively, and make it the best
The Washington bee., 1909-10-16
IT IS THE NEW EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar of white capital will be ac-
cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock.
consequently there is no watered stock
Every holder of stock from the President
down must pay at LEAST $1,000 per share for
every share of stock allotted to him.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will REMAIN at $1,000 per share. 1t is $Io.oQ
NOW. 1t will advance in price far beyond
$1,000, Just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln
Memorial Building Company's stock go to
several times its present value.
This means that a share of stock costing
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 when stock
goes to four times par. Estimates show that
the Companys earnings will be 20 per cent, and
that is four times par, with every dollar in
vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city
of Washington, where values as firmly fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. 1t is $1,000
NOW. If the Company, it is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 share of stock will be
worth $4,000 II it pays 90 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $1,000. Just
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
in value, SO will the Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Companys stock increase in price.

it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
