In MemOrium.

On July the 18th, 1913, the monster
death came to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. U. M. Orr, for the second time
within a few weeks and claimed as
his victim their little 18 month old
son. Roy Robert. He was a sweet lit
tie child and it was a great grief to
his parents to have to give him up so
quickly after the loss of their little
daughter Alma.
The sympathy of the entire COM
rlunity goes out to them in this deen
sorrow. We can assure them that It
is the hand of a merciful Heavenful
Father that is leading us and no mat
ter how dark the night or severe the
storm may be He intends to bring
good to us out of it all. And the lit
lie ones who's prattle we no longer
hear and the little ones who's prattle
we hear no more on earth are beckon-
ing to us from the other shore to n
to them. In the sweet assurance that
they are quietly and peacefully rest
ing and that we shalt one day be. gath
cred with them we find our only source
of comfort.

Ten Thousand Automobiles.

There are 1878 automobiles in North
Carolina; this many have ban IL
censed by the Secretary of State. This
Is an average of nearly one hundred
to each county. We wonder how many
homes have been mortgaged in order
to secure the family automobile. Still,
the automobile is a great invention,
and it has a big place in our modern
life. AS a rule, it is better not to go
la debt for one and when it has been
secured it is better to beware of speed
mania and the midnight 10y ride"

VENEZUELA HONORs PETION.
Erects Monument to Gallant Soldier
and First President of Haiti.

Erects Monument to Gallant SOLDIER
and First President of Haiti.
Venezuela has recently erected
| beautiful monument to Alexander Pe-
| ton. the first president of the republic
of Haiti. in recognition of his services
| to Venezuela at various times while
| at the head of the Haitian government.
Alexander Petion was born at Port au
| Prince in 1T10. His father was
wealthy coonist and his mother was
mulatto. He was sent to France to
be educated and served at an early
age in the French army.
Afterward when the revolution
broke out, he took an active part in
the rising of the colored people and
distinguished himself as an officer of
artillery. His humane disposition and
pleasing manners gained for him the
favor of all classes. and during the pc
riod of terror he succeeded in protect
ing many of the colonists. When the
blacks, under Toussaint. began to pro-
scribe the whites and mulattoes Petion
resisted them by arms. but he was
soon forced to fly from the island.
Returning with General lie Clerc he
fought for some time under the French
standard but, disgusted at length by
the cruelties of the French and espe-
cially by their treachery toward Tous
saint and their attempt to re-establish
slavery, he again Joined Dessalines
and on the death of the latter was
elected president of the southern and
western portion of the island, while
Christophe, who had been general III
chief under Dessalines, became ruler
of the northern part.
Petion was man of deep and SIN
cere religious convictions. As ruler
he was distinguished for the republic
an simplicity of his manners and mode
of life as well as for his humanity
and impartial justice. But the ankle
ties caused by the difficulties of his
position in the midst of population
hitherto wholly unaccustomed to self
control, anxieties which were still
further increased on his part by an
extreme and almost morbid conscien-
| tiousless, proved too much for his
health.
| He died. universally lamentel, on the
| Goth of March, 1918. AS military Of
| ficer he was remarkable for skill and
serene courage. For some very inter-
esting particulars respecting President
Petion the reader is referred to Nos

At present it is still possible to make
Negroes essentially Americans with
American ideals and instincts. In an
other generation, however. at the pres
ent rate we will have in this country

together like one great fist for their

with pitiiess efficiency and with re-
sources for defense which will make
their freedom incapable Of attack from

The actual organization of this group
is progressing by leaps and bounds.

industry, be kept up after ten years.

Brothers of Friendship and Sisters OF
the Mysterious Ten, reputed to be the
wealthiest secret order of its kind in
the state, saw the necessity OF having
a well qualified physician to protect
the interests Of the organization, Dr.
Crawford was elected medical direc-
tor. During the three years In which
he has held the position, the society
has grown In membership and finance,
and there has been n great reduction
in the death rate among the members
of the order.
DR.. w. II. Crawford was born in Nc

He is the son of Baptist preacher
and devout Christian mother, from
whom he received double portion OF
religious zeal and enthusiasm. Walk
ing eight miles when he was eight
years old to attend his first Sunday
school, he was seemingly marked then
and there for Sunday school timber.
At the age of twelve he became
Christian and Joined the Baptist
church and has since that time been
an effective f. IN the church.
His public school education was OBJ

Hearne academy, Texas; he received
his medical education from Leonard
Medical college, North Carolina, and
from the College OF Physicians and

soon demanded for him n wider field,
and he therefore moved to Austin.

The annual meeting of the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Colored People. recently held at the
assembly hall of the United Charities
building, in New York. showed the
efficient work and large results of the
leagues activity during the past
twelve months.
Professor Kelly Miller of Howard
university delivered the principal ad-
dress on 1.-THE City Negro" In his
usual effective style he described the
problems which confront members of
the race who move to the city and the
efforts which must be made to help
them meet city conditions. He said
that our people in the city were in
greater need of attention than those in
the country because there were great
city to degrade.
Mr.. L. Hollingsworth Wood of New
York was the chairman Of the meet
ing and described in graphic terms the
work Of cooperation, housing Improve
ment. industrial improvement, travel
ers' aid, big brother, big sister and
other work carried on by the league.
He pointed out especially the develop
ments which the league has recently
entered upon in southern cities
An important feature of the meeting
was an illustrated lecture by DR.
George e. Haynes of Fisk university
and director of the National league.
The views showed some of the hOus-
ing. sanitary. economic and other con
ditions among Negroes in the cities
and the work the league has done in
improving those conditions.
Those present especially enjoyed the
music by the orchestra and chorus OF
the Music School Settlement For Col

rector; also Mr.. David Names and
Miss Helen e. Smith rendered sonata
which met with a hearty encore from
the audience.
