The differences existing be.
tween the two factions of old
Providence church has at last
been brought to a close, at the
end of a law suit. Whether it
will be permanent or whether
1t is only a temporary cessation
of hostilities SO to speak, is left
for the future to tell. Elder J .
L. Davis has been preaching in
this building more or less for a
number of years and the d.
vision of the church may properly
be termed a pro and anti Davis
fight, A suit filed several months
ago by the anti Davis element
asking for an equal division of
time for the use of the building
was decided in favor of the
plaintiffs. 1t has been a most
bitter fight, resulting in bad
feelings among neighbors and
even relatives. 1t is to be hoped
that the reconstruction period
is near at hand, when all the
bitterness will cease and old
friends will be friends again.
They are good people on both
sides; the west side is one of
the very best sections of the
county and the prosperity and
welfare of the county, morally,
religiously and commercially,
demands cooperation. Let US
hope that it may be had in the
future.

THE ODD FELLOWS AND
TROUBLE

The rcdOubtable and persistent b.
j. Davis, Of Georgia. backed by that
H&&tor-mind, Hon. Henry Lincoln
Johnson is now preparing to out
genera; the ablcst Roman of them
I'll, Grand Master Edward Ipsrris Of
the biennial Movable Committee Of
the Grand United Order of Odd Fol
lows. At the last meeting of tho b.
NJ c., it was decided to hold the
next meeting i'll New York. Grand
Master Norris, on account of unfay-
orablc conditions and by the recon-.
mendati0n CT the subcommittee Of
Management decided not to hold the
meeting in New York this year. Now
comes Hon. b. J. Davis and that po-
!itical leader, Hon. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, and make the point that
this authority did not exist in either
the Grand Master or in the Sub
Committee Of Management. They
intend TO hold Il meeting at the time
&Hd ut the place named by tho
last ID. Nj. G. aud thereby get a
prima'facic title to recognition in the
Courts.
They will proceed to elect officers
ana set up another b. NJ. G. and
thereby make trouble for the Gle
mcnt that has attempted to put them
ont Of business. Heretofore, Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Johnson have sue
ccssfully. confined their efforts to
Georgia. Now they propose to ego
into the cnemy's country, so to speak
to make trouble. 1t is an amusing
situation and the outcome will de.
pend on the number of delegates that
NSll come forward and attend the
meeting. Evidently Grand Master
Morris can either look on tho affair
with contempt or he can send enough
members to the meeting to out-vote
the insurgents. 1t is an amusing DC
iitic2i game played by the ablest
political stratcgists in tho country.
1t will cost much money on both
sides. Who is expected to pay these
amounts? Echo answers, who?

DIR. BOYD'S DELIVEKilNCES

Rev. r.. II. Boyd, d. D., has spolt.
Oh ut last and his communication
should be read from one end of tho
COlorcd Baptist world to the other.
1t brcathes Il note OF defiance and
declares his unaltcrablc opposition
to any uniGcation of tho two wings
o. tho National Baptist Convention
t@"t does not eliminate absolutely
to National Baptist Publishing
Boards publishing house from con
si;!eration in the agreement. The
G;atinguishcd churchman announces
Chat he will maintain this position
regardless of opposition from any
quarter.
lie declares his right to control
this asset in conjunction with his
selected associates. We have always
been in favor Of recognizing rights,
titles and interests Of Rev. DR.. II. II.
Boyd, but these can only be dcterm-
ined by an impartial commission, to
whom ii should be submitted, both
sides agreeing to abide by its find
ings. But DR.. Boyd declares that
he will not submit his claims to such
Il body and if his language is to be
accepted at its face value, he will
not heed the opinion Of even his own
conventional body on this question.
He will not permit the question to
be submitted for adjudication.
This is taking Il position that to
us seems to be extreme. We do not
see how he can successfully defend
it. He may be right and we may be
wrong in the premises. We have
failed to sec though any argument
produced by him that would give
him a shadow of justification for
such Il course. He declares that the
National Baptist Publishing House is
the property, or rather it belongs to
the Baptists, but in actual practice,
he is treating it as his own personal
asset. III this the "two wings don't
Flap" together. His actions do not
square with his declarations Of Bap-
list ownership.
We do not doubt, but what he is
correct i'll saying that the National
baptist Publishing House belongs to
tho Baptists, but he and his immc-
diatc friends and associates arc the
only Baptiss to which he refers
We admire Dr. Boyd and place him
among tho great Baptist leaders OF
the country, but we cannot think
otherwise in view of the disclosures
but that he IS making the mistake Of
tho closing chapter Of his useful and
valuable life. o, the pity of it!

Hon. Harry G. Smith, of Cleveland

educating the colored people OF
Cleveland, o., up to the point whore
they will resent determinations on

with such chicftains can the colorod

entitled. 1t is n long distance to

Hon. II. c. Smith is remarkable

COME ON BACK HOME!

The Philadelphia Christian Review
and the Philadelphia Christian BAN
ner are protesting against the race
riot that took place recently in that
city. We advise these distinguished
leaders to come on back home. We
do not profess to be doing one thing,
while VIC know we arc doing another.
The Northern white man makes a
mess OF 1t in dealing with colorcd
folks. The idea of killing colorcd
people came from this section Of the
country, we know, but we know just
where we arc here, and wo think
we know where we arc there only to
be cruelty deceived in the latter
place.
The Southern white folks down
here are changing rapidly in their
attitude towards us. They arc Civ
ing us moro money for our work and
more time Off when We are not work
l. ing. If they do not treat you right
up there and if they are practicing
the Southern methods Of brutality,
come on back homo and eat these
Virginia coollings and take these
Southern Outrages that we are ac-
customed to taking and by people,
who are accustomed to practicing
them upon us. Como on back home,
where You can feel like you are
living in the North, while you know
you are living in the South.
Stand up for your rights in Phila-
dclphia. Insist upon all Of your civil
and political rights and privileges in
the City of Brotherly Love, and if
they make you angrier than you are
now, take up your luggage, colorel
folks, and come on back homo. "
We have enough men left in the

royal welcome. The old haunts are

TIE REUNION TO COME

We sec, or think we see, the basis
upon which Rev. r. II. Boyd, of
Nashville, Tenn, will make peace
and agree to a reunion Of the two
great National Baptist Convention
bodies. The National Baptist Union
Review, the official mouth-piece Of
the Rev. DR.. r. II. Boyd, in it's issue
of July 27th, 1918, said:
The editor has returned from a
second visit to Chicago, where he
went in the interest Of national
work. 1t is with profoundest pleas
ure he recalls the generous welcome
accorded him and unbounded liberty
allowed in all churches and convcn-
tons and in ministers meetings Of
both National Conventions. Baptists
arc doing things in Chicago as we'll
as talking them. We think they are
awakening now to the mighty de-
mands made by the influx Of thou
sands OF immigrants from the South.

expressed everywhere. The Union
Rcvicw has n notion that the status

THE WAR SITUATION

The Allies have been making sig
nal progress in the campaign against
the Gcrmanic Allies in France. rho
gains though have not been of such
Il character as to bo Il forerunncr OF
final victory. Reports from Wash
inGton have warned tho American
people against being too optimistic
relative to these Successes and there
is Il reason. The permanent German
line of defense has not been reached.
With the aid Of American troops,
consisting also or The colorcd contin-
3cnt from this country, much Of the
, ground captured by tho Crown
Prince has boon regained.
The Germans have been with
drawing their forces and in SO doing
thousands OF them have been cup-
, turcd. They have also lost much
ammunition and tons OF supplies.
Why have the Germans been with
drawing? 1t indicates that they arc
sending their reserves somewhere
! else and in this there is an interest
! ing story. The Russian Government
! has declared that state of war
exists with the Allies and Germany
is evidently sending troops to the
, East to be prepared for any hap
rcnins and to aid Russia.
The indications arc that the next
combination will be Germany, Austro-
Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria and Rus
STA, five nations lined up against
twenty-five nations. The detection
OF Russia will mean much for Ger
many and her Allies, enabling them
TO draft Russian soldiers to relieve
, the German legions. This means q
long war. Ill tho meantime, the sub
marines are working "oyertime" in
vessels at the bottom OF the sea.
. The evident intention is to prevent
the United States from feeding and
supplying its own troops in Europe.
On our part, it has been wonder
: ful to note what we have succeeded
in doing in the face OF almost insur-
mountablc difficulties. We must DO
prepared for greater sacrifices. The
cost OF this war is steadily increasing
and efforts are being made to tax
every conceivable thing except tho
air we breathe and an effort will be
. made to tax that no doubt. This
course is essentially necessary, if we
arc to raise the necessary funds to
continue to win the war The war
, may end more suddenly than it be-
gan. President Wilson holds the
, key to the situation and upon him
primarily depends the peace Of the
world. 1t is now said to be no timo
to talk peace. The meaning of this
is that to end the war now would
. mean n German victory. The war
must go on three years longer.
This country is satisfied that it
can stand the struggle that length
] OF time and 1t is equally confident
, That Germany cannot stand it much
longer. The Russian question is the
unknown quantity in the equation
and the attitude of the people in tho
Germanic Allies country is being
watched with interest. An early
solution Of the question would come,
If revolt would take place in any
OF the countries at war. There are
reports of threatened outbreaks, but

SEVEN or TANItER'S GREW AIsE,
MISSING
The Frederick II. Kellogg Was Tor
pcdocd Without Warming or
snrnyar

Washington, August 1i.-A Ger
man submarine, approaching the
very gates Of New York harbor, sank
the oil tanker Frederick II. Kellogg
OF the Ambrose Channel last night
according to information received
here tonight. Thirty.nvc members
of the crew brought here today re.
ported that seven others are missing.
The survivors wero picked up by an
american steamship.
Torpodocd without warming mt
CLIO o'clock last evening, the Kcl-
loEg sank in three minutes, said
members Of her crew no coming
ashore here today. The force Of the
explosion was terrific, they declared
ana the seven missing men who
were in the engincroom arc believed
10 have been killed. No submarine
was seen, according to Captain
White.
The survivors, in small boats,
rowed for three hours, when Il
freightcr took them aboard. One OF
the crew reported his narrow escapc
when he was caught below decks by
the rapidly sinking ship. He was
carried down by the suction, he as
serted but swan to the surface and
reached one Of the boats. Navy Of
hcials cnjoined silence upon the sur
NiVors before they could complete
their accounts of the disaster.
The Frederick r. Kellogg was a
new tank steamship Of 7,127 tons
gross registre, valued at more than
s. 100000. Under command Of Cap
tain G. II. White, she was on her
Wy from Tampico, Mexico, TO Bos-
ton with cargo OF approximately
10000 barrels OF crude oil.
The ship was owned by the Petro-
leum transport Company. and was
launched a year ago this month at
Oakland, Cal.

BRITISH MERCHANTMAN RE
PORTS CLASH WITH RAIDER

~ report brought to an Atlantic
port today by British merchant
man used as transport, that she
had fight with submarine seventy
four miles east OF Fire Island, and
that her At guns wer outclassed
by the submarine, is being investi-
gated by Secretary OF the Navy Dan
iels.
An unofficial report says there was
an exchange Of shots until the trans
port reached a point forty miles from
Fire Island. Uusually British trans
ports report to their own officials in
New York. The present case, al
though not officially before tho de-
partment, offers some suggestions to
navy experts. 1t indicates that the
submarine carried probably a five
inch gun.
1t was observed by navy men to-
day that the reports concerning the
activities Of the submarines Off the
New England coast indicated that
tho submarines carried but one gun.
The inference has been that this was
powerful weapon, as cases wcre
reported during the first raid early
in the summer when the submarines
opened fire at from five to six miles.
The fact, however, being now es-
tablished, that some Of tho subma-
rines can outclass in a Smelling a IL
gun of the British type, there is no
doubt that the fact will be taken
into account by all merchantmen
plying between Now York and
Europe.
