THE MINISTER'S CONFERENCE.
Richmond Ministers Hold Unusually
Good Weekly Meeting.

The Minister'S Conference, of
Richmond and Vicinity held an on
joyablc meeting as well us helpful,
at tho Second Baptist Church. DR.. H.
y. Lewis, pastor. The brethren
seemed hungry and thirsty for the
social contact, which is increasing in
inspiration and fellowship. This is
but characteristic OF our brethren in
the Old Dominion.
The article which was published
In one Of our most progressive race
journals was referred to with inter
est and in love. We were favored
With tho presence OF the foremost
race leader in journalism and bank
ing, as well as fratcrnal life, to be
found among us, the Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr. Hc reassurcd tho Con-
ference Of his loyalty and answering
interest in his race and the ministry
in particular.
The people Of Richmond arc eX-
pccting and arc patiently waiting for
the tardy report from the manager
and sccretary-treasurcr OF the Barton
Heights burying ground committee,
which should be made to the Minis
ters' Conference, under whose direc-
tiOn it has been operating. Collec-
tions during the Summer vacation,
and work done, should be reported.
The brethren became very much
enthuscd by the words of our hon
ored president, DR.. i. Payne. whose
life is but benediction to all men,
young or old. Perhaps no minister
here occupies the position which he
does in the religious life of our State.
fTe is ripe in experience, rich in
thought and profound in truth.
The spiritual life Of our Churches
is on the increase.
All of our brethren are urged to
be on time next Monay and complete
tho program mapped out so well by
the president.

-FOUR PETERSBURG DOCTORS
ARE ACCUSED. OF LAW
BREAKING.
Two Arc Charged With Bootlcgging
and Others With Selling
Narcotics

Petersburg, Va, November is
After having been sent to the United
States grand jury at the next term Of
tho District Court on the charge of
selling liquor to soldiers, DR.. u. S.
Mccoy. a colorcd physician OF this
city, was rearrested OH Saturday OH
another charge of similar character.
DR.. U. S. G. Jones, another colorcd
physician, was also arrested Satur-
day, charged with selling liquor to
soldiers. They will have hearing
before United States Commissioner
Herbert Gillian this week. Both
arc out on bail.
DR.. G. w. Spangler and his son,
DR.. Paul Spanglcr, white physicians,
are charged with violation of tho
Federal law regarding the sale of
narcotics. They will be given a
hearing before Commissioner Gil
liam on Wednesday. The Doctors
Spanglcr came to Petersburg from
West Virginia about year ago and
established Offices in South Market
Street.
A man named "Jcnnie" Wilson
waS arrested Saturday charged with
selling liquor to a colOred soldier.
Six dollars in marked money was
paid for quantity OF whiskey and

operate 1t as an independent corpor-

CD He promises to tell later OF
obstacles in the way of organic un-
ion. He says: "When the two bar
riers are removed the brethren can
move on in peacc-.scparately."
Ill) We are not going to cease
discriminating against those mem
bers Of the Jones Convention whom
we believe are wilfully aiding and
abctting DR.. Boyd and his eight as
sOciatcs in usurping the National
Baptist Publishing Board and oper-
ating it as an independent corporation
over which neither the Jones faction
nor any other convention has any
jurisdiction.
Cd We make n very clear dis
tinction between DR.. Boyd-.Jones-
Trauk and the Office holders of that
division of the National Baptist
Convention and the majority Of tho
messengers of that division who
stand for denominational ownership
and control and National Baptist
union.
(a) Some Of our Churches, AS
Sociations and Conventions have
refused to allow DR.. Boyd and his
oiti cial associates to appear before
them at any time; because they know
that they have betrayed Il denomina-
tional trust and that they are seeking
to got tho patronage Of those who
may not know.
CD On the other hand there arc
members of that division Of the
National Baptist Convention, against
; whom every door in the denomina-
ton swings wide.

doors to DR.. Boyd and his official

WILD GAME A PROFITABLE
SOURCE OF INCOME

Wild game can be made profitable
source of income in Florida. There is
a vast acreage of wild and unim-
proved land in our State that can be
put to use in this respect.
Whether or not you are in o posi-
ton actually to raise game, you are
bound to profit by its increase. AL
though the chief benefits from great
err production will be for those who
have the land on which to produce
game and the sportsman who shoot
il, there is practically no class OF
people in the country that will not be
benefited by large addition to the
available food supply.
The game crop of Europe is an i'm.
rortant asset to the countries that

an exceedingly important one, not

MANY ARE EAGER ID ENTtR DRILL
 NUMBER LIMITED
Registrants Will Be Given First Chance to Prepare For the
 Firing Line.

That there are many men in Ne mana eager to learn soldiery, was made plain last Monday evening, when considerably more than 100 residents of the town appeared at Union hall in response to the invi- tation of Sergeant Smith, of Go. B., U. s. A., who announced that he would give instruction to those de- string to go into training. The crowd was such that not all could be accommodated, but Sergeant Smith did the best he could, under the crowded conditions, and for two hours the drillers were put through course of exercises which spoke plainly of the ability of the officer as drillmaster.
 Sergeant Smith has since an- nounced that he will restrict the drilling hereafter to registrants and he plans to organize a class of about 35 on Tuesday night, the date set for the next drill. The sergeant says that he cannot handle more than that number to advantage in the hall, but later on, when weather conditions will permit of drilling out of doors, all who desire to drill will be taken on.
 Sergeant Smith was assisted last week by members of the post com pany who accompanied him to Ne mana from Fort Gibbon, and by Glen Dickinson, of the local signal corps forces, who is also a member of the Gibbon company.

WOMEN'S IGLOO TO
 MEET ON WEDNESDAY

At meeting held by the ladies interested in the forming of a Wo- mems igloo of Pioneers, held at Grace church last Wednesday,, the matter of starting a lodge and ob- taining charter was discussed at much length.
 There are not enough members from Nenana to obtain the necessary 25 required for charter member ship, but if those already members of the Fairbanks and other igloos, are allowed to transfer, the ladies will have no trouble getting the re- quired 25 members.
 The matter has been referred to Cecil H. Clegg, of Fairbanks, grand president of the Alaska Order of Pioneers, and as soon as he is heard from the women will proceed with out any more delay.
 Another meeting will be held al Grace church next Wednesday and all interested are urged to attend.
