War Cuts Drug Supply.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock,> Aug. 28.-From day to day, new effects of the European war are being felt in places even so remote as Arkan- sas. The latest is the threaten ed exhaustion of the supply of thyn1ol, the drug which forms the basis of the treatment for hookworm. This is likely to af- feet seriously the work of the Rockefeller Commission, which has been engaged in the hook worm campaign in the state for the last three years.
 Before the war it could bepur- chased for $2.50 per pound, but it is now quoted at ST. Prac- tically the worlds supply comes from Germany, which is now cut off. One pound treats one hundred persons. Other drugs have been used, but none is so efficacious as thymol. Dr. Gar rison is attending conference in Memphis today to decide what can be done.

Of the larger cities, but there Is q ten
dency to keep them out Of desirable
sections once member Of the race
moves from such section. Skilled
wOrkmen Of the race are doing we'll
The carpenters have held their own In
this section and control much of the
work In their line This is also true
Of members of the race In the bricklay-
ing trade.
But the white mechanics in the lines
above named have combined against
them to some extent, which Is strongly
indicated by the fact that the majori
ty OF the white building and loan asso.
Citations will not allow Afro Americans
holding shares In their associations
when making loans to build homes to
give contracts to Afro Americans, but
the work must be done by white men
under the supervision of the associa,
ton. Such discrimination aroused the
better element of the race In this sec.
ton, whom the Rev DR.. Richard
Spiller interested in organizing the
Workingmen's Building and Loan as,
sociation. the officers Of which are DR..
F. w. Avant, president; DR.. Richard
Spiller, vice president. and Edward
STORY, secretary and treasurer.
When this movement was being con
sidered one OF the leading factors in
the effort was Thomas Fl. Williams. a
native Of this city and young man
with broad conceptions of the posi-
bllities Of the race to succeed .along
business lines. He Is member of the
board of directors and also member
Of the finance committee of this pro
gressive association MI Williams has
interested a large number of young
men here In this organization.
Mr.. Williams is a concrete example
II what the ambitious young men Of
he race are trying to do along sub.
ftantial lines. He Is vice president of
the Peoples Hand laundry. another

to the roll and $15, 900 paid on the debt
In the words of DR.. Powell, "Abys-

church among our people In the
world" 1t Ia the richest because II
owns about $3.50, 900 worth Of property
and the poorest because It owes $134,-

debt that would frighten most minis

The change has made q marked i'm
prOvement I'm the order and spiritual
life Of the congregation and has actu

church. The success Of the change
from the old system Is due to the in.

follow the able and wise leadership Of
DR.. Powell In conducting the financial

Association Started In Wilmington,
N. c., on Account Of Race Prejudice.
By GEORGE r. KING.
Wilmington, N. O.-That the young
men of our race in this section Of the
country are daily becoming more in
terested in movements that will make
for bettering conditions in the south
generally is being strikingly evidenced
by many in this city who have made
remarkable progress in the face Of
great obstacles. But for number Of
years commercial enterprises among
them seemed to be at standstill
This economic inertia was not due,
however, to financial stringency
among the colored people, who receive
wages in this city equal to that paid
Afro-Americans in other sections Of
the south. Negroes own and conduct
most excellent farms. and there is not
any city in North Carolina wherein
our people pay more taxes on real es.
tate than is true Of those living in VIII
mington. =
Another encouraging feature to be
considered is that as rule the Afro
American residents are not so closely
segregated here as they are In some

thereby do what they can to relieve
the stress Of the present financial con-

The Greene county organization is to

is predicted that more than 1000 col

A conservative estimate places the
combined increase in wealth Of these
families at more than $4,000.

New York.-The Abyssinian Baptist
church In this city, of which the Rev.
DR.. A. Clayton Powell Is the capable
and highly esteemed pastor, recently
closed a ten days celebration Of its one
hundred and sixth anniversary. Some
Of the most able clergymen and lay.
men of the race took part In the ami.
versary exercises. Inspiring and schol-
arly sermons were delivered by Revs
H. II. Warning, w. J. Lucas, w. M.
Moss, w. II. Brooks, w. p. Hayes,
w. Fl. Harrod and s. w. Timms.
Mr. Watt Terry, the young real estate
operator of BrocktOn. Mass. who is re-
ported to be worth nearly million
dollars. and Hon. Fred II. Moore urged
the race to save money and go into
business. One Of the features Of the
celebration was a recital of sacred mu.
sic by an orchestra of fifty members
from the Martin Smith music school
Never before was sacred concert
held on so large scale seen In
church among our people In this city.
The pastor and officers asked for
$1,000 during the celebration. Up to
the fourth Sunday In November 5000
had been reported, and some auxil
laries were to be heard from. This
church has a unique and admirable
method Of conducting Its activities.
