Secretary Of Baptist Publishing House
Gives Results Of Years Work.
Millions Of dollars in money and
many more millions in religious tracts
handled by the Baptist Publishing
House, located at Nashville, Tenn. are
shown In the nineteenth annual report
Of Rev. r. Il. Boyd. the secretary and
founder of the National Baptist Pub
fishing House. One can hardly realize
the vastness Of the facts shown by the
report and the staggering figures
brought up by the compilation Of tho
years work. Long since this ex-slave,
whose brains and business sagacity
have been pronounced by all as respon-
sible for the sum total of the success,
has been looked upon as the leading
business man in the ranks Of Negro
baptists.
Every year hundreds Of delegates to
the national Baptist convention await
the coming Of this report that they
may take 1t to the various points Of
the United States from where they
come to read and ponder over it. In

sition Of associate professor Of sociol-
ogy and was also organist Of the school
and editor Of the Atlanta University
Studies. In 1909 Atlanta university
honored Mr.. Dill with the masters de-
gree.
Mr.. Dill took up his duties as man
ager Of the Crisis in the early fall Of
1913. He has proved himself to be q
most experienced, capable and pains
taking business manager. During the
two years In which he has directed the
affairs Of this particular department Of

appearance have been brought more
prominently before the reading public
than ever before. The patrons Of these
papers and magazines have become
better acquainted with the editors and
managers. Their interests have been
quickened and their confidence in the
management strengthened until hum
dreds Of publishers are personally
known to the readers Of their period
icals throughout the country.
On the other hand. this success, such
az was outlined by Henry Allen Boyd,
corresponding secretary Of the organi-
zation, In his address before the recent
meeting Of the National Negro Bust
ness league, held in Boston, shows that
the race is giving larger and more
hearty support to the literature pro-
duced by it's own members. The de-
mand now Is for more and better read
ing matter Of the kind which interests
and helps to educate the youth Of the
race In the home. This shows an intel
lilectual growth which a decade ago 1t
would have been considered almost
folly to hint at in connection with
many Of our papers.
Aside from the foregoing, however.
We wish especially In this brief men
ton to speak Of one of the ablest and
certainly one of the most modest men
connected with any Of our publications
In the capacity Of business manager.
That man is Augustus Granville Din Of
the Crisis Magazine, at 20 Fifth ave.
nue., this city. ..-,.5
After q most successful career AZ q
student, educator. musician and pub.
licist, Mr.. Dill was finally prevailed
upon to become the business manager
Of the Crisis. He Is native Of Ohio
having been born at Portsmouth about
thirty -four years ago. Before he com
pleted his college course Mr.. Dill taught
school In his native town, meeting with
much success. In 1902 he decided tc
resume his studies and entered Atlanta
university, where after four years Of
diligent study he was graduated with
the degree of bachelor Of arts.
Mr.. Dill after his graduation from At
lanta university entered Harvard col
lege. where in 1908 he received the
bachelors degree. While at Harvard
he taught In the evening schools OF
Cambridge. From 1908 to 1910 he act
ed in the capacity Of northern secretary
and agent for Atlanta university. Ir

KlsTLER STILL TO The FORE

Cumberland County IN. c. Farmer
First to Sell 1915 Cotton.
Some Of the most enterprising farm
ers in the state are colored men, and
It is characteristic Of them that when
they once establish a record they hold
to 1t, says the Charlotte On. c. OBJ
server. Such Is the case with G.. w.
Kistler, a farmer Of Cumberland coun.
ty. For q number Of years he has
been the seller Of the first bale of new
cotton on the Fayetteville market, and
he has just repeated the performance
for the present season Of 1915.
Should Kistler ever lose the record
the Observer would confess to q dis
appointment. The Negro who holds q
record In any line Of good endeavoI
deserves the encouragement Of his
white neighbors and friends and gen.
orally has it-at least, that is the senti.
ment In this section Of the state.

business changes and In spite Of the
fact that the home mission work was
operated from another state and city
this past year, the report shows an in
crease Of many thousands Of dollars.
This was the result Of an increase In
the circulation Of the Sunday school
literat ture in many states where the
literature had not been used hereto
fore.
Some Of the facts contained in the
report show that from 1897 to 1918
$2,3O6, 105.6S has been collected and
expended In the operation Of the plant
and that 1876, ,794, $3.50 periodicals have
been written, printed and sent out to
the members Of the denomination
throughout the civilized world, while
letters to the number of 1854, 40 have
been written and sent out signed by
the secretary Of the publishing board.
The secretary further shows In his re-
port work done by the quarter-that Is,
for every three months Of the past as-
cal year, and that the operations Of the
plant this year reached the sum total
Of $160. 1888, which Is the largest re.
port from the publishing board alone
since the tablishment Of the lnstitu.
ton.
Heretofore the home mission and
publishing boards reports were made
together, giving one sum total. Secre-
tary Boyd further shows In this report
the extension work during the past
year, giving special mention to the
facts concerning the location of the
plant, the reports on buildings, the
machinery, the Office Of the assistant
secretary, the periodical department,
the book, Bible and tract department
and winding up with the extensive
view Of the editorial work and the ex-
tension department. which includes the
Sunday School congress. The report
further contains the story Of the con-
gress, with the enrolment Of the Biz
mingham (Ala.) meeting Of this year.
DR.. @. q. Clark is the chairman Of
the board and has served in that ca
pacity since its organization as has the
secretary. They employ over $50 men,
bers Of the race and have q mammoth
plant operating regularly.
