Claimed by Arkansas.

Attorney Scipio A. Jones, of Little
Rock, Ark, who was delegate to the
Negro Business League convention,
carried the largest delegation of any
State that attended the convention.
His delegation consisted of 80 dele
gates consisting of some of the lead
ing men in the State Attorney Jones
was the author of the resolution of
sympathy to Mayor Gaynor, of New
York, and through him and his work
the next meeting of the Negro Busi-
ness League VIII be held in Little
Rock, Ark. Attorney Jones stated to
a Bee representative that the people
of Arkansas will give the league the
greatest reception that has ever been
held in any State in the United
States. There is no man in this coun-
try any more appreciated than Mr..
Jones, and The Bee is of the opinion
that the National Negro Business
League will, in a few years, be the
greatest factor in the business world.

advertising than any other news
paper published in the interest of
the race. If you want the news,
you Just have to take The Bee.
And The Bee is free to publish
the news. 1t is not hampered Its
editor holds no Office, and seeks
none. The Bee looks like a news
paper. The others look like patent
inside and outside campaign
sheets. The Bee has a standing
outside of Washington. 1t is a
national newspaper, and for
thirty-one years has never missed
an issue. The Bee has circula-
ton double the combined circu-
latiOn of all other alleged colored
newspapers published in Wash
ingtOn. Any one who knows any
thing about Washington knows
this. People watch for The Bee:
but they don't watch for others.
The Bee fills a want. The others
want to fill a want, but can't.
When The Bee speaks people sit
up and take notice. The others
never make a ripple. If you are
not a subscriber to The Bee, you
are not a subscriber to a real col
ored newspaper-that's all there
is to it. When you pay the price
of The Bee you get the worth of
your money. People don't say that

oned with. "The bankers must edu-
cate the people" was the motto of the
Negro fnanciers; teach them how to
save, how to handle checks, how to
aggregate capital so that property
purchases could be secured" Our
people lose property because after
they have made purchase, paying, say,
half down, they are unable at the re-
CURED time to complete their pay
ments," remarked DR.. Pettiford, the
father of Negro banks. l. F. Brown,
of Memphis, said he, at his bank,
taught Negroes how to save and how
to invest.
The funeral directors showed great
progress in their organization, grow
ing from a mere handful few years
ago to more now than 200. They are
developing most rapidly also IN

The men of the press displayed
great enthusiasm at their gathering.
They contended for placing news get
ting on a cash basis, and for associ-
ated press recognition. "If we prove
that we mean business" said Presi-
dent R. w. Thompson, of Washing
ton, D. C., Il have no doubt that the
day will come when many of us will
have associated press franchises"
Booker Washington also speaks in
behalf of Negro press.
At the very introduction OF his an
nual address, President Washington
spoke fervently in behalf of the Ne
gro press. Said he:
LET no one doubt or question in
the future the value and influence of
the negro newspaper. Though it may
be a seemingly small and insignificant
sheet with limited circulation reach
ing the people only in one community,
nevertheless this negro paper has its
influence.
more and more in the future than
has been true in the past, | plead with
all the earneStnesS that | can COM
mand for the generous and constant
support of the-Begro press. This sup
port should not come only from the
masses of our people, but in the espe-
cial degree it should come from the
man of education, from the man who
is engaged in some business enter
prise. Such support, in an increasing
degree, | believe the negro press will
have. There are few agencies which,
together with the church and the
school, have exerted a greater inhu-
ence in the uplift of our race than is
true of the negro newspaper, and often
this influence is exerted at the price OF
poverty, hard work and self-denial on
the part of the publishers.
GAS each delegate and visitor to this
League returns to his home, l hope he
will carry with him a resolve that in
the future he will see to it that his
local newspaper has his hearty sup
port and cooperation"

and variety of questions that were

The point system, as is in vogue in
Princeton and other large universi-

Can any colored voter point to

Your valuable paper is read in this
city. A great temperance meeting is
being held here, and | take this op-
portunity to report it to the newsy
and busy Bee.
The fifth annual State convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of South Carolina, Mrs. Z. Y.
c. Williams, Abbeville, S. c., State
president, was held il this city August
II-I4.
The convention was called to order
by the president in the Hermon Pres
byterian Church, the Rev. ]. T.
Wright, pastor.
Thursday evening was welcome night.
Many excellent addresses were made
by members of the local w. c. 7. u,
and responded to by Mrs. c. d. Saxon,
recording secretary, and Miss Julia
Watson, L. I. L. secretary.
Friday morning the convention was
called to order by President Williams,
and the work of the convention moved
along with great smOOthness and pre-
CiSiOn. The reports of the treasurer,
and the superintendents of depart
ments, the Y and L. T. L. secretaries,
all show a great work being done in
this State in behalf of temperance.
The treasurer, Mrs. H. L. Hawkins,
of Columbia, reported a large bank
| account to the credit of the State w.
c. T. u.
The organizers report showed that
| several new local unions have been
added to the roll.
Great stress was laid on the i'm
portance of Gospel Temperance meet
ings, Mothers Meetings, L. T. l..
Union, and White Ribbon recruits.
The national papers-The Union
Signal and The Crusader Monthly,
were considered and each member was
urged to subscribe. Sessions were
held all day Saturday, at which time
it was announced that a State paper
will be launched January I, 1911, with
| the following ladies as editors:
Mrs. E. V. c. Williams, Abbeville,
S. c., editor-in-chief.
Assistants-Mrs. c. D. Saxon, Co.
lumbia, S. c.; Mrs. Jacob Moorer, Or
angeburg, S. c.; Mrs. S. L. Hawkins,
Columbia, S. c.; Mrs. Roberta A.
Boulnare, Rockhil1, S. c.; Miss Julia
A. Watson, Columbia, s. c.
| Sunday morning, in the Baptist
Church, Editor White, of the Rock
hill Messenger, gave the convention
sermon in a most able and practical
manner, after a splendid Introductory
address by the president, Mrs. z. V.
c. Williams.
Sunday afternoon, in the Zion Meth
| Odist Church, a mass meeting was
held in the interest of temperance, at
which the president and other speak
ers made excellent addresses. Sew
| eral gentlemen became State honor
ary members at this meeting. The
| closing session was held in the Her
mon Presbyterian Church Sunday
night.
Who can tell the result of five
years organized work, For God,
Home, and Native Land!" Five
years work among women, men,
young people, L. T. Is, and White
| Ribbon recruits? During these years
literature has been distributed, jails
visited, flowers and fruit given to the
sick and poor, hundreds have been in
| duced to sign the temperance pledge.
The determination of this w. c. 7. u.
of South Carolina is to go forward

Little Rock Next Time.

With a thrilling speech by Mr..
Willard, president of the Anna T.
Jeanes fund, and by Bishop Cottrell,
of Holly Springs, Miss, the League
bade farewell to New York City. 1t
was the most successful meeting in its
history. There were more delegates
from the outside States present, more
than 25 States being represented.
Many of them came in very large
numbers, Mississippi sending 90, Ar
kansas 80, Louisiana IS, and this is re-
markable in that it was LOuisiana's 5
first time to send delegation. In
dianapolis 80, Chicago 40, South Caro-
lima 20, and so on through the States,
even out to California.
From many of these came invita-
tions for next years session of the
National League, from Indianapolis,
from Chicago, from Atlanta, but it
seemed that the white State officials
from the Governor down in Arkansas
were the most unanimous and press
ing in their invitation.
Already Scipio Jones and other
wealthy Negroes of Little Rock are
making plans to have the 1911 meet
ing outstrip any they have yet had.

THE WHITE SOUTH.

President Taft may be doing
what, in his opinion, is best to
bring the White South, which is
Democratic, into the fold of the
Republican party by surrendering
the political rights of colored
Americans; but we believe that he
will fail. Every Republican Pres
ident since the days of the late
President Mckinley tried it, but
failed. The Bee doesn't believe in
catering to an element or a party
that Is rebelnOus by surrenderingI
offices and the political rights of
any people as a medium of sub
mission. The South will forever
remain Democratic, no matter
what is surrendered. A rebellious
element that violates cOnstitu-
tiOnal laws should be subdued by
the enforcement of the laws by
which it is governed, and not by
gifts. The President can readily.
see by the recent brutal Outrages
that were perpetrated In Texas
that his cOnciliatOry policy to-
wards the South has not in the
least changed the methods of the
Crackers. Why, then, continue to
displace true and loyal Republi-
cans for traitors to the Govern
ment? The foreign element, says
the South, is more agreeable than
the faithful black allies. Will not
the day come when the white
Americans will see their mistake
and have upon their shoulders a
burden of foreign emigration?
Who is responsible for the many
strikes throughout the country?
Is it the cOlOred American, who
has always been true and faith
full to the Republic? Com
plants are coming in daily
of the discrimination against
colOred Americans in the Sey-
eral Departments of the Gov
ernment. Who is responsible for
this? The cOlOred man is not seek
ing social equality; all he asks is
that he be given an opportunity
to live and defend himself against
the brutal, discriminating acts of
public officials who manage the
affairs of our Government. While
it is true that many acts of the
Republican party are open to
criticism, the Democratic party,
as The Bee has often said, offers
no inducements to the cOlOred
voter; hence, he must continue in
the same old way until, perhaps,
the day of resurrection. Will Mr.,
Taft change his policy? Is he not
convinced that political conditions
are growing worse? The Bee is
firm believer in the great princi-
Piles of the Republican party, but
it cannot sit quiet and see its
people outraged, Disseminated
against in the home of its friends
without a protest. We are asked
to divide our vote. If we divide
our votes, where shall we go?
Does the Democratic party invite
the cOlOred voter to share the
"lOayes and fishes?" At this time
we are unable to say where to go,
because there seems to be a divis-
ion In our own house. 1t is an
aphorism too true-a house di-
vided against itself is bound to
fall.
VIII Mr.. Taft continue? is the
question that is uppermost in the
minds of cOlored Americans.

THEIR CLAIM OF RIGHT.

For several years the two color
ed Masonic bodies in the District
of Columbia have contested as to
which one was the real and legal
BODY. Both bodies contain men of
influence and power, and many
regrets have been expressed by.
the friends of both sides. The
Virginia Avenue MasOns have
cOntended that they had more
money than the members of the
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of
the District of Columbia, and for
that reason they would succeed.
The claim of the Virginia Avenue
Masons as to having the greater
amount of money may be true, but
if The Bee were to decide which
was the legal and right lodge, it
would base its decision upon the
final judgment of the Court of
Appeals, rendered February l..
1910, which is as follows:
"Mr. Justice Van Orsdel.
'No. 20O7. Most WOrshipful
Grand Lodge agt. Grimshaw; so
much of decree as restrains appel
liant from pursuing its objects un-
der its corporate name reversed
and cause remanded, with direc-
ton to dismiss the cross bill; each
party to pay the costs incurred by
it in this court, respectively; Opin-
ion by Mr.. Chief Justice Shep-
ard"
1t can be seen by that decision
that the court dismissed the re-
straining order of the Virginia
Avenue Masons, which would be
evidence to an impartial jury
that the Virginia Avenue MasOns
were wrong. The restraining or
der was to put the Most Worship
full Grand Lodge out Of business.
which failed. Not only was the
restraining order dismissed by the
court, Out III ult0CJ0u CldC liI0 C1OSS
bill that was filed by the other
side be also dismissed.
What, then, is an intelligent
person to conclude? Simply that
the Most Worshipful Grand
Lodge of the District of Columbia
is bona-fide organization, and
that they stand as it did before
the suit was instituted. The Cos
mopolitan of London and the
Golding History sustain the con
tentiOn of the Most WOrshipful
Grand Lodge of the District of
Columbia. In another column of
The Bee will be read with interest
what the Most Worshipful Grand
Lodge Of the District of Columbia
set up and claim. It was written
by Rev. Peter P. Lucas, ?. G. S.
w, a man of forethought, knOwl-
edge and ability. The claim of
this lodge is a just one, and should
interest all lovers of fairDlaV.

next year he spent in European
travel and in study in the universi-
ties OF Edinburgh, Oxford, and Hell
