Big BA1TLESHIPS
REPULSED ATTACK
OF TORPEDO BOATS
After Fight of Spectacular Mimic War
fare Vessels Are Resting for Big
Battle Today.

On board United States battleship
Kansas, at sea on the Southern Drill
Grounds, by wireless via Portsmouth,
Va, Sept. 21.-After a night of very
successful battle practice in repelling
the imaginary attacks from a fotilla
of torpedo boats Of supposed enemy,
the sixteen battleships of the Ameri-
can feet today are swimming lazily
at anchor, giving the officers and men
rest for the day in order to be in
trim for the strenuous work of day
battle practice which will begin today.
While both officers and men were
displeased by the long delay caused
| by the heavy weather, which made i'm
possible the towing of target RATS by
the smaller auxiliary craft, they
were in better frame of mind today
because Of the possibility of more fa-
vorable weather for the practice to-
morrow. 1t is the hope of the COM
mander, Rear Admiral Schroeder, that
all the vessels will have concluded
their firing by Friday.
The repose of the enemy's torpedo
fiotilla during the night was a spec
tacular bit of work. With the condi-
tions almost identical to those under
which hostile torpedo boat f1otilla
would make an attack on and attempt
to sink the battleships of the feet, the
sixteen huge fighting machines demont
= strated how they would repel a tori
pedo craft without permitting any Of
the pestiferous little vessels to get
close enough to inflict serious dam
age.
Steaming in division formation, the
battleships suddenly broke out all
their searchlights. The powerful rays
swept the oceans bosom for the tar
gets which were being towed at un'
known ranges and which represented
the enemy's craft AS soon as the
torpedo boat was spotted the battle
ships secondary batteries began a
rain of three and seven inch projec'
= tiles onto the object. The course OF
the shells was easily followed, as the
fleet was firing with projectiles which
had attached to them 'tracers, which
. consist of an attachment of burning
wet powder, causing a continuous light
= as the missive flies through the air
Many of the targets were completely
y riddled.

ing and currency which was unapi
mously adopted at its annual meeting
in Washington, D. c., last January
President c. H. Ellis OF the NeH

To RUN EXCURSION
FROM HATTIESBURG
Event is Planned in Recognition of
This City as an Educational Center
in Consequence Of College Being Lo-
Gated Here.

October 2S has been suggested as
"Hattiesburg Day" at the Jackson
State Fair, ana the secretary of the
Fair Association has written to Sec

pie in this section.

ognition of this city as an educational
center in consequence of securing the
location of the Mississippi Normal

sive benefit of Hattiesburg.

be run from Hattiesburg on that day
and the secretary of the Fair Associa
ton agrees to make arrangements for
this train in the event a sufficient
number of people from Hattiesburg
will signify their intention to visit
Jackson on that occasion.
| Citizens of this cit yare very much
gratified at this manifestation Of
thoughtfulness and courtesy on the
part of the fair management and i
is unnecessary to predict that hun
dreds of Magic City boosters will de
light in making the day a great sue

to locate the Normal in Hattiesburg
the press of the state has been yer!
liberal in expressions of congratula
tions, and Hattiesburg citizens will b.
glad of an opportunity to meet th'
people of the state at Jackson ant
show their appreciation Of the man,
kind things said about this city ant
its people.

will be required to defray the expenses
of the occasion. Besides this, the vet

IT IS THE NEW EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

ING COMPANI IS ENTIRELY NEGKO,
Not one dollar of white capital will be sc-
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 foE
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 SIo.os
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 20
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 are as firmly fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. It is $1,000
NOW. It the Company, as it is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 Sha-c OF stock will be
worth $4,000. If it pays 20 per cent, a single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $4,000. lust
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
IN value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Company's stock increase in price.
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 a share
ment will be SIz.5o per share, to which point
it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in as completely on the ground
floor as any one of the Company's Directors
are.

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 one place they would make a city larger
than Richmond, Virginia
There are seven theatres in Washington
supported by a white population of 24I,o23-
and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
lied 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 a 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 IT! 100000 enterprising
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preju-
Dice swept completely out of the business dis
trict of Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
Gus, amusement loving people deprived of
every form of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most humiliating 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 theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes, for the
Negroes, is A NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands 1t.
The self-respeCt of the race demands It.
ANY enterprise resting its hope of success
upon a 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 z, 500, and
a store and Office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
qurements of prosperous professional and busi-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
First-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 a OF 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., 1910-02-12

1t will also have theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from 10 to 50 cents, by
only I per cent OF the total coIored population
of the city of Washington, VIII enable the Com
pany to pay IS per cent on its total Capitaliza-
ton. Equal in al to 20 o-Io per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase Of SIS
per cent.
Now, al tbs is Conservatively Estimated.
Banks ard Insurance Companies engage in
enterprises like this with their depositors and
policyholders' rnoney-YOUR money, but
YOU get only about OF 31a per cent. The
banks or insurance companies keep the balance.
