Smith, general secretary of the Con-

Girls attention! Here is some
thing you'll be interested in. We
are going to have military training

DIR. MOTION GOES TO EUROPE.

DR.. II. r. Motion has been sent on
q secret mission to Europe by Pres
ident Wilson and will no doubt meet
the distinguished President OF the
United States in France. This sets
at rest the claim that tho colored
people Of the United States have not
been consulted for it Is evident that
this distinguished Virginian has been
chosen as their spokesman. Hon.
Emmett J. Scott is not talking much
these days and he knows great
deal more than he will voice in
words.
While all Of this is true, Brother
William Monroe Trotter is still living
in Boston and although a sorrowing
widower, he keeps one eye clear
enough OF tears to see all that these
colored leaders are doing in Wash
ington and he insists that they do
not represent all Of tho colored folks
in the United States and that the
sentiment existing Is not properly
made known at the White Howse of

the Nation. IN this Rev. DR.. w. IT.
Jerntgan is playing close second
along another line.
They oil want delegates to be in
Franco whom the Peace Commission
meets and no doubt prominent col
ored citizens have boon named for tho
task and the colored people Of the
United States will DO asked to foot
tho bills" This will prove to be an
embarrassing situation for President
wilson and his associates should
they ever get there. He goes as tho
living exponent of tho principles of
world democracy and just across
tho street, so to speak, will be a
delegation Of colored folks, who will
claim that President Wilson and his
Party have not accorded to tho col
orcd people of this country their
legal rights and privileges and have
not conceded to them the right of
self-determination.
with population Of over ton
million they are not permitted to
nave representative in the Con-
gross and they are being taxed with
out Delng accorded representation
certainly, If President Wilson claims
the right to interfere with the inform
al affairs of other countries. the
other countries have tho right To
interfere with the internal affairs of
the United States of America.
1t is an amusing and an anomalous
situation. Is it possible that DR.. r
IL. Motion Is to be on hand to meet
This embarrassing situation, to speal,
for the colored people Of tho United
states who cannot speak for them
selves and to give the lie to state
mehts made that colored people are
not treated properly in this country?
IL his mission Is for this purpose.
1t was shrewdly conceived and It will
DO moro shrewdly executed. In the
meantime. that meeting in Washing
ton, ID. G. on the 10th inst, will
attract universal attention. VIII
the delegation be able to secure pass
ports for the colored leaders, who
shall be sont across the waters? It
Is most remarkable situation and

wait and sec.

10 countries OF tho Allies,

the countries OF tho Allies. ~"
The situation In Ireland is one of
grave menace to tho British Empire
In particular and to tho civilized
world In general. Should ireland
press her claim to self-determination,
which means that tho people OF that
country shall decide upon their own
form of government and the right to
decide whether or not they shall re-
main under British rule, India will
come forward with a similar claim
and probably Australia will make
demands that cannot BIO denied.
Evidently concessions have already
been made to these divisions OF tho
British Empire and these concessions
VIII no doubt BIO made known at tho
peace table. There were some dan
gerous dogmas set up in President
Wilson's fourteen points in his peace
programme, which IL carried to their
logical conclusion will revolutionize
the civilized world.
Evidently, President Wilson has
had an inkling of what Is coming
else, he would not have taken tho
unprecedented step of going to Eu-
rope IN person. 1t looks to us that
inasmuch as the Allies are heavily in
debt to this country, they are about
to ondeavor to try to transfer tho
burden to Germany and thus put us
in the attitude of collecting our mon
ey from defunct creditor
What else can be tho meaning OF
the demand that Germany must pay
the cost of the war, when tho great
portion of the cost Ia duo to the
United States of America?

Colored citizens are asking the
Administrative Board of this city to
lay smooth paving on Second Street
from Broad out to Shocltoe Hill
Cemetery. We do not see why this
request should not be granted. Other
sections Of this city have been given
these Belgian blocks and real estate
values have been correspondingly in
creased as a result Of it. Second and
Third Streets are entitled to this
consideration as a beginning We
we're always Of the opinion that Leigh
Street should have been similarly
treated.
During this era of good feeling
between the races, consideration
should be shown and the money ex-
pended. 1t is easy enough to float
sufficient bonds to insure the i'm
provement against failure. We hope
that way may be found to grant
this request and to accord recognition
to one Of the kindliest races of people
on the face Of the globe.

(E, b. Webster)


FLORENCE, S. c., December s.
Misses Sarah McCloud and Jamie
Leo Nickles OF Timmonsville, S. c..

visit he will return North.
MIR. Andrew Moses passed here on
route to Mullins, S. c. from Camp
Jackson, Battery c, 3rd Brigade.
Mr.. Moses thinks the U. S. Army the
place for young man. There Is so
much to be learned said he.
Mr.. Noah Sawyer, Of Port Termin-
us Ordnance Department, Charleston
s. c. passed through here enrouto
to Fayetteville, S. G. He Is grad
uatc Of N. G. State Normal.
Mr.. M. S. James, OF Darlington,
S. C. was in tho city Tuesday.
Our Pee Dee Baptist Association
closed its session on Friday at noon,
two days earlier. on account Of the
Flu. Many of tho brothers had ar
ranged with their appetites to lay
in supply OF jelly cake, potato pies
baked chicken, etc. to meet require
ments for the future, but tho Flu
beat them to 1t.
One brother, who knows few
things, carried an old fashioned
knapsack to hold tho supplies. Rev.
II. G. Cooper, the pastor had ample
arrangement to care for all. The
Providence Baptist Church, Of Oar
lington County, with its members and
friends Ia noted for It's hospitality
and good eating. The Rev. Mr.. r.
has already drafted suitable reso-
luton to present to the Association
Cooper at Providence Baptist Church
In 1920, 80 that the hungry might
BIO fed.
DR.. f. r. Roberts, State Missionary

Come, go with me, Professor"
said DR.. Roberts to mo. "No, I
thank you" said l, "I have no special
business there" "But," said he,
make it special. You may bring
back n bride. who knows"
Dr.. 8. thinks 1t Is n shrewd movo
in tho writer to plan to meet Train
II at the curve every morning and
Mt tho Same time meet the girls as
teachers on tho way to the graded
school. Eyes," said I, at Is wisdom
to kill two birds with one shot"
Mr.. Samuel Wallace, one OF the

finds it necessary to read Negro
newspapers so that his success will
be greater.
Mr.. Thomas Nelson has returned
from n trip to Jacksonville, Fla. on
visit to his sister, whom he had
not seen In fourteen years. Mr..
Nelson thinks, 1t strange how many
of our people content themselves by
not reading their own race journals.
Brother Dave Nelson gave Il fine
talk to n young man recently telling
him why he should read his own
race papers, etc.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S POSITION.

We have read with interest and
care the very able deliyerance of
President Woodrow Wilson to tho
Congress of the United States. 1t
was disappointment not only to
his party associates, but to tho coun-
try as we'll in that he did not take
the people Of the United States into
his confidence relative to the most
remarkable trip abroad.
President Wilson, by his actions,
intimates that as head OF the nation,
he is supreme, that the Congress is
not entitled to interfere into his
arrangements until such time as he
may sec fit to submit to it record
of his Official acts, which require it's
approval.
He is Keeping his own counsel and
selecting his own friends. Ho has
lined up against him some of the
ablcsb Of his party associates and he
has openly discreditcd the Vice
President of the nation by denying
10 him the opportunity OF acting in
his stead, while lie is engaged in
mission abroad and far away from
the seat Of government
Even the ablest constitutional
lawyers on both sides Of the Senate
Chamber are startled. President
Theodore Roosevelt in his palmicst
days as President never cqualcd this
remarkable statesman from New
Jersey and Virginia in his bold
movements, which have shattered
presidents and upset customs.
The surprising part about it is that
President Wilson has been able to
keep the saddle" so to speak and
to defy and defeat his enemies. viii
he be virtually snubbcd at the peace
table by a refusal of Allied represen-
tatives to agree with his construction
Of the terms Of the armistice?
VIII tho unity of action which has
been so remarkable among the
Allies during the past four years of
warfare continue to the close Of the
negotiations? Personally speaking,
it seems to us that Vice-President
Marshall should be and is the acting
President until President Wilson
returns to this country and again
assumes the reins Of office.
But the great Virginian has ruled
otherwise and he claims the right to
be President In England, France and
other countries that he may visit,
just as much so as he is President
in the United States. He claims the
right to approve official documents
by wireless and by the cable just as
much as he does by his actual pres
ence and his actual signature.
Few mon have tho hardihood to
mako a test Of this position taken by
J the President of the United States.
!, Vice-President Marshall does not
dare do it and the indications are
! that President Wilson will have his
/ way until he meets with success or
! failure at the peace table in France
