THRIFTY AMER|CUs COLORED
MAN HEAD SAVANNAH BANK
GREAT SUCCESS OF PIONEER SAY.
INGS BANK.

Probably few Americas people know
that the financial head and directing
genius of the pioneer negro savings
| bank of Georgia is young Americas
colored youth, Lucius E. Williams. who
was born and reared in Americas, as
were his thrifty and respected par
erts. His mother, Mary Williams, still
resides here. His father died when
he was a child, and his success in life
is due wholly to his own efforts.
He began his career in Americas as
a cotton brander in local warehouse
and today is probably one of the veal
thiest colored men in Georgia, presi-
dent of the Wage Farmers Loan and
Investment Co., of Savannah, besides
having large realty and other inter
ests there,
The company owns and occupies a
handsome three-story brick building
en- West Broad street, and has an au-
thorized capital of $4,000. The banks
loans and discounts, as shown by re-
cent statement, amounted to $1S5,940,
while it owns stocks and bonds aggre-
eating over $4,000 The bank began
business in 1900 with $1O2. Today its
assets exceed more than $305,000, and
still increasing.
At the October meeting dividend of
Y per cent. was declared and checks
mailed all stockholders. The success
Of President Williams is subject of
congratulation among his Americas
friends, both white and colored.

THE JERSEY LILY"
PLAYS At ATLANTA


ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 9.-Mrs. Lang
try, famous in song and story as THE
Jersey Lily" arrives in Atlanta to-
night, to appear tomorrow night in d
new play at the Atlanta theatre.
Her real name in society is now
Lady de Battle. She is as well known
as society woman, horsewoman and
arbiter of fashions, as she is on the
stage.
One of the most remarkable stories
Of her charm relates to a time when
she was the guest of King Edward at
a banquet at which a number of ra-
jahs and princes from India were en-
tertained. She entered into converse
ton with one of these dusky potentates
who was so overcome with her grace
and beauty that he exclaimed in rap
ture.
"Oh, Madam; if you were only fat
and black, you'd would be perfect"
1t was his idea of the highest COM
rliment that could be paid.

LIBERTY Of THIS
COUNTRY SPEAKS IN
CRIES To EUROPE.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov "a new and
greater Europe growing out of the
war now raging, with the peoples of
the warning nations coming at last to
realization of the real liberty Amer
leans gained so long ago was pictured
last night by the Secretary of the In
terror, Franklin K. Lane, in an address
before the State Literary and Histor
ical Association of North Carolina.
"One half of the world is at war to-
day." said the Secretary. eve look
with horror upon the inhumanity of
human nature and say to ourselves:
is this all that Christianity has
brought? Have we made no further
progress than to make possible this
rcversion to the days of Attila? What
has become of that sweet song of the
brotherhood of man? Was it but a
spiritual opiate sung to deaden the
soul of brutal world Whittier has
flown that sense of outrage against in
justice that men now die by the mil
lion because prince was killed in
Servia?'
But these are the words of an I'M
thinking despair. Surely our mem
cries have not failed us. We must look
back, look through this binding storm
OF fire and see the Europe that was,
and that will be again. Then there
was to be seen a pillar of fire leading
the multitude-England trying to re-
gain her lands for her people-Ger-
many threatened with a transfer of
political power from the few to the
n2any-Russia slowly emerging from
the middle ages with her cropping
Duma-France, LaBelle France, gen
tie, gracious, glorious France, living
out the philosophy incorporated in the
first ten lines of our Declaration of In
dependence.
Europe may burn up. Her people
may be blasted by bankruptcy. Her
national lines may be made to follow
new channels. Her industries may be
buried. Her sons may fall and the
blood and the brain of many an I'M
known Tolstoi, Beethoven, Pasteur or
Darwin may fertilize her shell-furrow-
ed fields. She may set up for day
new standards of national greatness.
But these, all these, cannot destroy the
passionate purposes of her people to
own themselves to find themselves
and to decide for themselves what
chains they will bear and what sacri-
fees they will make For chains and
sacrifices must be; these mean social
life, and only the anarchist derams of
a life without restraints. But Europe
knows that it may have what we Am
orleans long ago gained, that degree
O. freedom in which sacrifice is made,
consciously and proudly made-for
those and to those with whom we
have a common interest And this is
liberty"

How to Get Trade

 Germany in 1s12-ls1s spent more money
 on her consular service than the United
 states spent on its department of state ana department of commerce combined.
 The result of this wise expenditure of public funds was wonderful growth of Germany's foreign trade all over the world, even'in the most remote spots. In the wake of the development of its mer- chant marine, the establishment of banks m foreign lands, and the enlargement. Of us reciprocal trade everywhere. In other words the German nation was made pro- ouctive and prosperous.
 American trade conditions depend ,arg.- " upon the worth and work of the con- sular corps and if this country is to com pete successfully with its foreign rivals ns stone should be left unturned to place Y upon the highest possible plane. The greatest incentive to induce efficient and experlenced men to enter the service and stay there is to make the sararies and ex- penses incident to the various posts at- treetve, thereby enabling them to apnlv tnemseives to their many duties and to attain promotion and incressed pav as| their records warrant.

 It Is we'll these days in Turkey to heed
 the law, especially military law. Euro
 peans who have lived in. Turkey long either fear or respect Turkish law and
 court procedure. Most of them feared | 1t in the past and fear it today, because the abolition of the populations has

sition of "box office chief' and acting as doorman, too, then the entire gamut is run, for if the foolish question doesn' t appear at the window when the purchaser is buying his tickets, it's sure to come when he hands them in later at the door,
 Anybody who thinks that the man who stands for all this has an easy time of it, that the road Is lined with whipped cream and angel cake, and that after he has sold the tickets, all he has to do Is to tear off the stub" and hand it back to the man who owns n-wen, he's got another guess coming to him.
 Once in a whie-possibly every 1000 years-somebody comes along who walks into the theatre perfectly naturally, per- fectly normally. and perfectly sanely, without adding No. 12, ,473, ,9S9'' to the list of foolish questions" but it isn't often.
 The policeman at the corner thinks his life is one long. long string of questions after another; the telephone operator thinks that no human being could have more questions asked than just her poor little self the man behind the desk at the big hotel knows for certainty that mo- body else ever had as many. questions put to him as he has out of perfectly clear sky; the cashier in the ladies de. pertinent of the prosperous bank feels morally sure that he's "cornered the mar ket' on questions, but none of these has anything on the man at the theatre and anybody who knows anything at all about such things will tell you so.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-03

MT. Parks is the affable and agreeable assistant to MT. R. S. Douglas, the man. ager of the Jefferson-'a live wire' in things theatrical, who knows all the big stars and their ways. as well as he knows the people who come to buy tickets to see them.
 MT. Parks occupies the double position of selling tickets and later, tearing off the "stubs' at the door, and he Is al- ways so nice to everybody--so kind and so polite. even in the midst of the most harassing sltuat tion-that it's worth while just to see him handle crowd and send everybody away satisfied. That's a great art, if you only stop to thinh about 1t.
 He never loses his temper. he's always there with the pleasing smile and the
