University

Belonging as | do to a patriotic
order | answer the summons to at
tend "a very important meeting"
Imagine my surprise when | found
that the important matter was the
consideration of forming a F"me
guard to protect the white p~ople
against the Negroes when the white
people should enlist and the colored
people stay at home Affidavits were
passed around giving a conversation
overhead between two irresponsible
colored people in which they were
gloating over their prospects for a
good time when the white people
were gone and had left their families
behind them.
A prominent member of one of the
churches in course of the fiery talk
of the evening declared that there were
mo good niggers but dead niggers'
and when | protested prominent
citizen made a speech trying to en-
tighten me as to the worthlessness
of the Negroes of the place. l simply
replied that l had among my friends
men whom l highly priced who were
black and prophesed that when the
belonged would be found in the front
rank as Patriots. l left in disgust at
having been caught at Ku KluX Klan
meeting if not in name, in spirit. In
the town where this happened the
colored people are paid meager wages
have only half year Of schooling and
other like treatment all around.
The next morning | left for another
town on busines strip and having
earned at the hotel where | was stay
ing that there was to be mass
patriotic meeting for colored people
at the Metropolitan Hall l went. II
was held in a fine hall owned by col
bred people, situated in the heart Of
the city and in a block which was oc
cupied by a Negro Bank Stocking
manufactory owned by the coloret
people and run by them a garage
md other buildings owned by the col
ored people. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Fisk Graduate the
! Principal of the c0lored schools o.
he town. On the platform were thu
Mayor, the P. M. the Editor of thu
Daily paper and other leading citi
ems who each in turn spoke after thu
5oung coloTed men of the town hat
in large numbers individually de
3lared their readiness to enlist unde

1t is needless to add that tn,
econd evening was more to my mint
4 han the first and that I was glad t,

Br. $. l.. McDwell Y. NJ. c. A.
Meharry auditorium was we'll mi
ed Sunday October 18th, with the
student body, members Of the lacul'
W and friends from the city to hear
the most helpful and edifying SER
mon delivered hy DR. r II. BOYD,
Secretary of the National Baptist
Publishing Board.
The text was selected from the
Cospel Of St. Matt-"Watch." In
has characteristic plain manner Dr..
Boyd led his hearers step by step
through personal home-like eYper
ences from the simple things of this
life to the more intricate things seen
only by the eye of faith. He pointed
out the home life Of the ordinary
young man where the strong hand OF
the father joined wAth the loving
care of the fond mother to GU de the
untutored feet Of the amb tious son
or daughter to college days when
the restraints of home and loved
ones we're left behind and even to
the professional school where each
young man is really his own master
and few if any dare to suggest re-
straint.
Here the man of experience that
he is, the preacher eYhorted the
young men first to watch themselves
that they do not fall into bad habits;
second, to watch their close friends
that they may not lead them into
lab is which NAV wreck their lives
and third, that they may watch the
signs of the times that they may
profit by experience.
The discourse was well received
and many were heard to commend
the fatherly admonition.
Activities in the Classes-Meharry
Day.
Aside from the routire work ir
I TIE classes and the return of many
Sophomores, juniors and dignihet
Seniors, Meharry Day claimed th'
greatest attention. At the annua
meeting Of the Alumni Association
one year ago last May, some day il
Ccto' er each year was set aside a
"Meharry Day" Last year this da'

Nine freight cars were ditched, and a
considerable length of track was torn
up. No. 108 had narrow escape, and
notified the freight crew of faulty
rail, giving the location as a few miles
west of Sawyer, but having traversed
that section safely, vigilance was re-
Taxed, with the above result, Men
from many points were in evidence
six hours after the wreck, but the
wrecker arrived about shutdown, max
ing traffic possible before midnight.
For pretty phraseology, Safety First
proved popular, but adequate section

which too often result in loss of life

Logan is not sad bewails not her
fate. The scribe in the local column
did during Appreciation Week, en-
deavor to emphasize this fact. The
belittling of Burlington begins nearer

sadly labored, and reflects not the
brilliancy a "juice" corporation be-

Mrs. Geo. Hecker Of Minot was the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Hecker on
Friday and Saturday of last week,
while attending to business interests
in this section.
Rehearsals of the home talent play
to be produced in the near future at
Logan hall suggest that this will prove
one of the most successful yet at
tempted. A strong cast has been Sc
lected and the keenest interest is dis
played locally in the production. The
scenic effect is in the hands Of Mr. c.
A. Bean, and will be on a scale sell
