NEGROES
To Alb AN DON
RACE PRIDE
Bishop ChappeIIe Makes Plea to
Advancement Before African
Church Board.

plea for the negro to retain his
self-respect and seek to elevate him
self as an individual rather than as
a race, was made Wednesday morn
ing by Bishop w. D. Chappelle, CT
Columbia, S. c., in an address be-
fore the Edpca tionaI Board of the
African Methodist Church.
'Self-respect is the first step TO
uplift," said Bishop Chappelle. NO
people will ever amount to anything
that has not the principle of self-re-
spect. We, as race, must lift our
selves as individuals. and not by
boasting that we are negroes and
talking of the progress we have made
since emancipation.
I'VE must teach the world that as
individuals we are a part of the hui
man family, endowed with the same
qualities of manhood. We must
build "a solid character, and get eds
ucation and wealth. We must add
our part to the civilization of the
world, then demand our place in the
race of life.
When | hear a negro say he s
negro down as a fool! | am sorry
that / am negro, and the future Is
dark and opaque for my boy, simply
because he is a negro"
The board will continue in session
several days this week. The Bish-
ops Council, of which Bishop Turner
of Atlanta is the President, will meet
Thursday at the Big Bethel Church

OLD WOUND KILLS
POET BILLY DUKE
Ex-PoIiceman Stabbed Over His
Heart Years Ago Succumbs.
Hero in Many Encounters.

Billy" Duke, the old x-roliceman
who has been a familiar figure on
Atlanta's streets several years selling
the story of his adventurous life in a
little book entitled, The Policeman,
His Duties and Dangers" died at his
home, No. 270 Glenn street. Wednes-
day, aged SO years
He went on the police force as w.
c. Duke more than 80 years ago. In
his long career he had many hair
raising adventures once he arrested
a desperate negro who showed fight.
The negro cut nine bad gashes in his
body, one of the wounds over his
heart being the ultimate cause of his
death.
He carried bullet in his leg 10 tho
last as the mark Of another raid and
three times he had his right ankle
broken. which finally forced him to
wear crutches during his last years.
Several years ago officer Duke. was
pensioned by Council. Immediately
he set to work to write the story of
his life, setting forth the aim of the
good police officer to protect the
homes and ives of the people and
the dangers to his own life, which he
risked. He was also author OF a
collection of verse.

Legislation has almost been ex-

My observation has been that
If you don't allow men to drink
alcoholic liquor they will find a
substitute which is a great deal
worse
Beer Is the greatest temper

saloon and you will find 80 per
cent Of the people in there drink
ing beer, and the other 10 per
cent whisky Let people have
what they want TO drink and they
will choose beer which is not
harmful in any sense of the
word.
People are bound to have
stimulants, and if they are not
permitted to have liquor. a great

This is one of the serious results
of attempting to enforce prohi-

Those who disagree with Judge
Twiggs will disagree violently, and
erously-and that is about all one
would care to say of the matter per-
haps. by way of comment
The election of Thomas Converse,
Jr,, to the Mayoralty of Valdosta, and
by a handsome and conclusive ma
jority, while not particularly surpris-
ing, will be matter of pleasing in
terest not only to South Georgia. but
to the State generally
Mr.. Converse is a most successful
and popular young man, and is very
strong politically Ia his section of the
State. It is said by his friends that
higher honors still are in store for
him.
The Mayor elect by the way, is a
nephew of State Senator w. l.. Con-

dali Walker and a good deal of the
credit for the younger mans victory

Bob" Adamson, formerly of Geor-

GAMBLING IN
STOCKS HIT
Untermyer Leads in Fight for the
Owen Bill, Aimed at Abuses
in Wall Street.

WASHINGTON, Feb. with
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
Pujo Money Trust Investigating
Committee. leading the fight for its
enaction, the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency to-day began
hearings on the Owen bill to prohibit
the use of mails, telephone or tele-
graph for furtherance of unlawful"
stock exchange transactions. The
bill, which calls for a sweeping reor-
ganization of Wall street methods,
was opposed by a number of repre-
sentatives of brokers.
Mr. Untermyer. the chief witness
in the advocacy of the bill, cited nu-
merous court opinions and recon-
mendations of the House committee
which favorably reported a similar
bill in the Sixty second Congress.
