A complete record of all moneys
received and disbursed by our
church during the year 1915 was
read to the congregation by our
pastor at the close of last Sunday S
service. This was done in order
that members and friends of our
church might feel satisfied to learn
that correct record is kept, giving
a report in full of the years 6nan-

to thank the public tor the hearty

1.-THE CT ANSMAN" AGAIN

Says the Recorder of January 5. 1916
The police authorities have. in re-
Spouse to The protests of citizens, white
and black. refused permission for a
repetition in San Francisco of motion
picture based on Thomas Dixon's novel
The Clansman.
III taking this position the police have
acted wisely. Such productions as 1.-THE
CIansman," although wonderful and
enthralting from spectacular view
point, serve no good purpose. Their
production simply serves to foster race
hatred and to keep alive in the present
generation sectional prejudices of past
generations that for the good Of the
people of the United States had better
be allowed to die out. In addition the
filmed drama land. in fact, the novel
itself glorifies movement inaugurated
in defiance of law, and suppressed only
by force. However praiseworthy the
motives ascribed by the author TO the
ku Klux Khan, history tells a different
story OF the origin, purpose and develop
ment Of the movement, which is thor
oughly and truthfully described in two
powerful novels of the reconstruction
period, "a FOOLS Errand" aud Bricks
Without Straw" written by the late
Albion W. Tourgee, who was United
States district Judge in one of the
Southern States during the period Of
ku Klux activity.

BETHEL NOTES.

Attendance at Bethel last Sunday
was affected, as all others were. by
Indictment weather. Notwitfstand-
ing this, attentive congregations
were in attendance at both services.
The Sunday school was surprisingly
large, while the Endeavor was hard
hit by the storm just the time tor
its members to arrive. The sermons
of the pastor, Rev. Harbert, were
spiriteal, and did not fail to arouse
merited response.
The pastor has called church

The Negro has too much to
demand of the law to commit any
breach against it. no matter how
severe the oppression may seem.
We are winning every day, and the
time is not SO far distant that our
race will lead the world in the
practice of the fundamental princl-
pies of civilization. But we must
demand and command more just
treatment from men that execute
and enforce the law. We must tor
ever insist on the ideals of human
rights as laid down by the founders
of this great republic. Think along
this line and unity. Support and
build up law that must respect
and protect. Politicians make
statesmen, who In turn make laws
for political appointees to enforce.
Let us give bit more attention to
politics. Make cleaner politics,
which will in turn choose cleaner
men to make cleaner and more fair
laws for all of the people. Colored
folk, your du,y is in politics Get
busy. Show your great power by
and with the ballot. The Detroit
Leader.

GIVE HIM A PROMPT TRIAL

The fact that Fudge is facing one of the
most diabolica1 charges in the history OF
the State, is no excuse whatever Tor delay
ing his trial.
If he is guilty, justice should be meted
out Immediately.
If he is innocent, he should be released
from prison and sent into the world, an
honest man. The death of his children IS
horror enough, without the added memory
Of three or four unjustified months of jail
life.
Why is not a special term of the Grand
Jury called? g..
Is murder such routine thing that IT
NAV be Investigated in the routine course
Is society so unimportant that crime may
be investigated when the witnesses have
had chance to forget what they know!
Again, is mans life so trivial that the
State has right to take away any part OF
it by uniustified Imprisonment ?-for I'M
breakable as seems the chain of evidence
binding Fudge to the alter of Justice, 1t
has not yet stood the strain of the court S
test, and he is innocent until proven
guilty.
The laws delay never had a poorer ex-
cuse than now. Fudge has a right to a
prompt trial, and the sovereign people
demand it.

ESCAMBIA NEEDS COMPETENT
ENGINEER

If the report of Senior Highway Engi-
neer Burrell, the federal government has
rendered Escambia County a service of
great value. It has brought a realization
of the faults in the present system of road
building and maintenance and has given
instruction as to how these faults may be
corrected.
The report indicates that the county
roads were built to meet the demands of
certain localities, without regard to their
correlation, and that the construction of
seventy-five miles of new roads would
provide a system amply sufficient for our
present needs.
1t points out the necessity of proper
maintenance and of having all construc-
ton work done under the direction of a
thoroughly competent engineer with long
experience in road building. 1t further
emphasizes the need for systematic road
dragging, to be provided for in the road
budget.
The report includes a plan for one hun
dred miles of concrete surface roads, witt
an auxiliary system of sand clay roads anu
permanent bridges east and west, to cost
100000, but Mr.. Burrell is very careful
to say that the present development of Es-
Gambia County does not justify so extern
sive a road system, though he stresses the
point that permanent bridges are an i'm
mediate necessity while system of hard
surfaced roads such as he has planned
would assist materially in bringing tour
lists to Pensacola and in developing agri-
culture throuthout the country.
Careful study of the report shows Es-
camb1a's great needs to be a competent en-
gineer who will properly administer the
present road fund, build intel1igently the
roads needed to effectively connect oul
present system, and supervise and main
tain Our roads through an intelligent
scheme of split log-dragging.
1t is not probable that the proposed
100000 bond issue would carry, but it il
very certain that the taxpayers will All
thorize bonds sufficient to construct per
manent bridges east and west, if assured
that all road work will be placed in the
hands of a competent highway engineer.

PACKING PLANT.

The need of a packing plant in Pensa-
cola is growing every day. Throughout
the length and breadth of the country the
farmers are beginning to raise cattle fast
er than they can dispose of it. Grand
Ridge, for instance shipped one carload of
hogs last year; it will ship ten this year.
Year1ing steers, worth $40, with six
months feeding, bring $50 on the hoof,
for beef. The lack of a packing house in
Pensacola, writes the Journals corvespon-
dent from Grand Ridge-and he is aNrecog
nized authority-"will cause a loss of at
least $4,000 to the farmers Of West Flor
ida"
How much greater will be the loss next
year? and the year after? and the year
after that?
With almost no cash outlay, small cold
storage warehouse can be established in
Pensacola, where country produce, in
Guiding meats, can be stored until shipped.
The capacity can be increased as the need
grows. The plan has worked in small in
terror towns, and there is no reason why
it should not work in place that has the
commercial advantages of Pensacola.
The Journal has already pointed out
that the future of Pensacola is bound I'D in
PdCh1lS plant, anu Is uouDly gldQ 10
print a communication from Chas A Dex-
Ter on the same subject. Mr.. Dexter is a
man who does things, as you will readily
see when you gaze over his broad acres,
laden with rich crops. The opposite of
visionary, he is cool headed man of bust
ness, and his endorsement of a packing or
storage plant is itself guarantee of sue
cess.
Mr.. Dexter has covered the subject so
thoroughly that there is no need for us to
discuss it at greater length further than to
stress the point that the market must pre-
cede the product We must have a small
packing plant before we can expect the
farmers to raise cattle that would other
wise have no sale.

leigh, another sleepy old town, to her
duty and opportunity in providing a
packing house applies to Pensacola
exactly.
Here is Raleigh's Pensacola ex-
cuse" why it "can't be DONE: Raleigh
does not have an established hog mar
ket, and in lieu of this fact cannot see
any argument for a packing house
have always noticed that the produc-
ton of live stock precedes the estab-
lishment of a market" This was writ
ten by Mr.. R. S. Curtis, to which Mr..
Barr replies:
''In this statement Mr.. Curtis has
put the cart before the horse, and
has indicated a woeful lack of knowl-
| edge in regard to economic develop
ment. If heg-raising is improbable
under existing conditions, and no
packing house will be established I'M
til hog-raising has reached large pro-
portions, then doomsday will come be-
fore North Carolina gets the packing
! plant for hog-raising is not going to
increase so long as farmers lose
money in raising hogs. The PROPOSE
ton is so simple that a grammar
school boy can understand it. On the
other hand, men of vision and energy
would quickly realize that the building
of a packing plant in such a farm
ing district as Raleigh could easily
be made to cause a large increase in
live stock production. The market
must be created for the product, OF
the product will never be raised. II
there were no market for cotton, Nc
cotton would be produced"
wish the whole article could BIZ

WE MUST HAVE A DOCK.

Every once in so often some well mean
ing person gets up and says it would be a
fine and blessed thing if the Government
put dry dock in Pensacola.
Which it would.
A dock would be such fine thing that
there is absolutely no reason for waiting
on the Government.
We have deep water-we have trade
location: why in heavens name don't our
business men agitate and never cease agi-
tatig until there is a commercial dock and
ship building plant in Pensacola?
Cold no longer decends, Jove-like, into
receptive laps. If we want prosperity we
must make it. If we get a dock, we will
have $4,000 weekly payroll right away
other industries will develop.
The Cover nment helps those who help
themselves. Let US in heavens name get
busy.
