Lillywhiteism.

A few years ago an effort was made
to organize a Lillywhite Society. This
organization did consist of young
ladies from some Of the very best
families, but the parents did not in
d0rse the movement. Some of the
most prominent preachers daughters
belonged to this movement. They
exposed this lillywhite combination,
and nothing has been heard of it since.
The lillywhite craze has had a strong
hold on some Of the very best people
in this city. 1t is fast making its
way in the colored schools When
ever a lillywhite Negro fails to make
an impression on the white people, he
returns to his own fold.
The Bee in its next issue will tell
you how the wife of an ex-senator has
returned to the Negro society after
she had been posing as lillywhlte
IfOrgeTess, and how an ex-Congress-
mans wife divorced herself to marry
a white man.
There are a few Negroes from Mis-
sissippi in the Departments who have
been endeavoring to pass for white
for a number Of years. This class OF
Negroes have been menace to the
best society Of Washington, and the
sooner they are eliminated the better
1t will be for the people.
The next article will deal with the
illywhites and who they are.

Howard Park Association.

At the monthly meeting of the
Howard Park Citizens Association
last Monday evening at Rev. Wise
mans church on Eighth street reports
from several committees included the
announcement OF the plans of the
Tyler Prize Committee for a renewal
of the prize competition which proved
so successful a feature of the work
of the Association during the last
year. The plans involve the distribu-
tion Of $Ioo (in cash and its equiv
alent) in prizes this year to those
who shall compete in the matter of
producing the best vegetables and
flowers in yards and gardens attached
to the homes within the Association 5
territory, and also in the matter of
beautifying front and back yards of
dwellings.
The Entertainment Committee re-
ported plans for an early entertain
ment, to be participated in mainly by
children, for the benefit of the treas
ury of the Association.
The Executive COmmIttes reported
progress in the matter OF the efforts
made to get from the school author
Ities detailed information with refer
enCe to the provision of better seats
for the new Mott School building,
the distribution of new pianos among
the Colored schools, the use of the
classes now in the new Mott School
as a practice field for the inexperi-
enced undergraduate of other
schools. and lastly, as to the improve
ment of present conditions in the col
ored Business High School. These
matters were discussed at length and
referred back to the Committee on
Schools.
Principal Z. c. Williams, of the NJ
Street High School, was welcomed
as an invited guest, and was asked to
make a few remarks. He COngratu-
lated the Association on the fine op-
DOrtunity it had for effective civic
service, and made an earnest appeal
TO the Association to take a strong
stand against the dance evil as pOr-
trayed in the weekly matinee dance"
held at one of our public halls and
.patronized almost exclusively by the
young people of the public schools.
He cited several instances, showing
the unmistakably harmful effects OF
these matinee dances" and said that
they were not approved by the school
authorities, notwithstanding the
somewhat general impression that
they are held as school dances.

WHY NEGROES COME TO
WASHINGTON.

Social Outcasts at Their Own Home.
What Washington Society Means.
Many Made Paupers-Would Be
White if They Could.
1t has been a question of much
thought why so many Negroes come
to this city, and after they get here,
why it is they start to organize a So
ciety. This article will be a startling
revelation to many who don't know
the inside dOings OF the sO-called Ne
gro society OF this city. The real peo-
pie of Washington seldom parade
themselves before the people. They
don't give parties or balls to make a
display of their cheap Jewelry and on
time-purchased clothes. Many per-
son has gone broke in an effort to
keep up with what some people call
the society Of Washington. These So
called large balls, if you will take a
coarse comb. are made up of the out
casts of their own cities. You very
seldom see a ball or a reception pa
raded before the public by the best
society of this city. You will see in
vitations issued for a so-called select
reception. An invitation IS sent to
Miss B., so that she will be BLACK
balled' by some social OutcaSt from

even with Miss B., because she visit
ed his home and refused to recog-
.nize him Instead of naming them
selves the Washington best society,
The Bee names them as the social
outcasts, who are attempting to mo-
.nOpOlize the Washington society.

Meeting to Meridian, Miss, June ?
to June II.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 10
Meridian, a beautiful city in Missis-
slppi, was awarded the sixth annual
session of the Sunday School Con-
gress of the National Baptist Con
VentiOn at a meeting Of the Home
Mission and Publishing Boards in
joint session here to-day. This was
not done, however, without having
carefully considered the invitations
that came from St. Louis, Mo; Gin
cinnati, Ohio; Binghamton, n Y; At
lant1c City, n. J.; Chicago, ILL.,; Okla
hOma City, Okla; Dallas, San An
tonic and Galveston, Tex Most Of
the invitations were supported by let
ters from the Governor of the State,
the Mayor of the city, and pastors Of
the churches. For instance, St. Louis
sent Endorsements from the Governor
of Missouri, Mayor Of the city, the
Million Population" Club, Board of
Trade and Hotel Mems Association
The Congress in going to Me
ridian,' said Chairman Clark, will
serve more than one-half Of all the
membership of our denomination"
The dates of the meeting will be
from Wednesday, June !, to Monday,
June y, 1911.
The official call for the sixth ses-
sion will be sent out this week, signed
by c. H. Clark, Chairman, Nashville,
Tenn; ]. p. Robinson, Vice Chair

The last session Of the Congress
was held il Atlanta. Ga, and was at
tended by some of the leading men of
both races, such as Rev. B. d. Gray,
Atlanta, Ga; Rev. NJ. NJ. Welsh, of
the Southern Baptist Home Board;
n. B. BroughtOn, of Raleigh, n. c.;
w. +. Graham, of Richmond, Va, and
c. S. Morris, of New Jersey. 1t was
a largely attended session, and from
what could be ascertained, the meet
ing this year promises even greater
success. Every one of the $4,000
churches and Sunday schools of the
National Baptist Convention is en-
titled to representation, as are also the
universities and colleges; educators
and missionaries are eligible to mem
bership, and are especially solicited
by the promoters to take an active
interest in the meeting.
1t Is thought that on account of the
National Conventions going North
this year, the Congress officials and
Boards were influenced to go further
South.
The invitation from Meridian is in
dorsed by every pastor in the city,
the business men, the city officials, the
association and the several State con-
ventions Of Mississippi.
Dr. R H. Boyd, the originator of
this Sunday school workers move
ment, said that they would have the
full cooperation of the Southern
white Baptists in Mississippi and the
other Southern States in helping in

"Rotten. Rotten. Rotten!"

1t is scarcely believable that any
farmer trading in Postville would
knowingly sell rotten eggs to a deal
er at &c cents per dozen, but evil
dence was unearthed this week that
looks very much as if something Of
the kind had been done. A certain
merchant in Postville was offered
two cents per dozen above the mar
ket price for a case Of eggs If the
merchant would candle them, the
customer desiring strictly fresh
eggs for a friend in Chicago. Ina
CINE the merchants surprise on
Gambling a case that had been taken
in that day, to find that ten dozen
and five eggs-more than third of
the case-were rotten and wholly
unfit for use. The bad eggs were
not scattered through the case, but
were all in contiguous filters in the
case, thus making it evident they
had all been brought in by one par
ty, and the merchant has a pretty
good idea of who that lone party"
is, and if the Pure Food Commits
sioner should demand an investiga-
ton there would be big hole knock
ed in somebody's bank account.
The dealer must admit he is in
part to blame for this sort of i'm
position, as he should candle the
eggs when he takes them in. But
one dealer in a town cannot well do
this unless all others do the same.
However, a bill was introduced in
the Iowa legislature this week TO
make it compulsory for all dealers
to candle eggs as they buy them.
Now the dealers may, if they wish
to rid themselves from losses OF this
kind, have this bill enacted into law.
Take the matter up at once with
your Representative at Des Moines
or better yet, through
your state association.-Postville
Review.
