At a dinner party the other evening,
reference having been made to the
good cid days in the little brick school
house. this story was recalled by
James L. Rice, coach of the Columbia

length she turned to a bright-faced boy

WANTED TO SEE THE FINISH
Small Girl Did Not Consider That the
End of the Proceedings Had
Been Reached

The short interval that elapsed be-
tween the visit of the little girl to a
commencement exercise and attend
ance at an old-fashioned camp-meet-
ing may explain a remark that she
made at the religious event. She went
there with her grandmother and, very
much interested in everything that oc-
Cured, asked numerous questions
which her graudparent attempted to
answer to the best of her ability.
Who is that woman up there and
what is she doing" asked the little
girl. referring to a woman who was on
her knees in the amen corner
Il don't know who she is, but she's
going to get religion" was the reply.
Some time elapsed and the woman
remained on her knees. Finally. the
grandmother of the little girl became
tired of the service and announced
that it was time to leave

ORDER HAD HIM I'm THE AIR"
BoatsWain's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong AS Chief Boatswain McCar.
thy. L. S. n, has shown in an article in
The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions. and even, in the
old navy, at least. it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate who
had his own ideas about passing the
word and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion. the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
'Boatswain's mate. scrub down with
rapidity." This WAS new one, and
after causing the officer TO repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate become desperate He grabbed
a deck bucket and forced 1t into the
hand OF the nearest apprentice. whom
he started on his way with push that

NATIONAL BAPTIST NOTES..
President e. c. Morris Issues Open
Letter to the Denomination.

President e. c. Morris Issues Open
Letter to the Denomination.
Helena, Ark.-The Rev. e. G. Nor
ris. d. D.. president Of the national
Baptist convention. has issued an open
letter to the Baptist churches and Sun
day schools Of the United States. In
which he calls attention to the new
publishing board which has been locat-
ed at 400 Gay street. Nashville. Tenn.
with s. P. Harris as secretary. DR..
Morris says that 1t was necessary to
take this step because Of the fact that
rump convention was held In Chi
ago in September which claims to own
the National Baptist publishing plant.
The letter also says that the new
board will supply the schools and
churches with literature until matters
are in shape for the denomination to
get that which rightfully belongs to it.
1t will be remembered that at Chicago
in September the national Baptist cou
vention split mainly, SO It Ia said. on
the question Of the publishing plant in
regard to the ownership and control,
with the result that new publishing
board was appointed.

prepared and fled in accordance with
the agreement Of the committee with
the board of censOrs.
The local branch was assisted In its
fight against the exhibition of this
photo play by other branches OF the
organization in Cleveland. Dayton. To-
iedo. Springfield and Cincinnati. All Of
the local churches and the Young
Mems Christian association also united
in this vigorous protest, which was
filed with the board Of censors against
the exhibition of this photo play.
The chairman Of the committee says
that. while the colored people have
much to be proud Of in the prohibition
Of the play in this state, he thinks that
the white people ought to rejoice In
that both races in the long run will be
benefited thereby, for the reason that
the cordial and friendly relations
which have existed so long between the
races in this city and state are most
likely to continue; that it Is agreed by
all fair thinking people in this country
that the Negro is here to stay, and. that
being true. he ought to remain in peace
and harmony. and that anything, wheth-
er photo play. book or other device.
which Is calculated to stir up race feel
ing and prejudice should be excluded.
While it is said that politics entered
into the final decision Of this case. II Is
far from the truth. On the other hand,
1t was the moral forces, led by some
Of the churches and the Young Mems
Christian association. both white and
colored. and the disposition Of the pub
lie officials of Ohio to be fair and just
to all classes of citizens. irrespec-
tive of their race. creed or religion
that finally barred THE Birth Of Ma
ton" from this state.
The colored people as a race have
much to rejoice for by reason of this de-
cision. because other states will watch
the attitude Of Ohio on this proposition
and will no doubt. in some cases. be
Influenced thereby. and. while we have
much to be thankful for. 1t is hoped
that the colored people will continue to
show themselves worthy Of the respect
and consideration which made this de-
cision possible.
As soon as this information was
brought to the attention Of the Column
bus branch Of the National Association
For the Advancement Of COlored Peo-
pie the legal redress and legislative
committee proceeded to organize com
mittee for the contest. and II cannot
be doubted by any person now. since
the results are known. how perfect
