'The weariness at home and the dis appointment of the world have been compensated in the proof that this re- public will surrender none of the heritage of nationality, but our rights in interna- tional relationship have to be asserted {; they require establishment in compacts of amity; our part in, readjustment and restoration cannot be ignored and must be defined.

who looked up to him for leadership
and example. How he was looked

ty is indicated by the following obit-

his own race:
The city Of Americas was shocked
at the sad intelligence of the death
of Prof. G. w. f. Phillips, a promi-
nent educator, who died at his late
residence East jefferson street, Oct.
10, 1921.
The deceased has spent the better
part of his useful life in Americas
where he labored as an educator of
considerable prominence, having been
the first principal of the colored pub
lie school. His residence here extends
over period of Al years during
which time he was interested in the
uplift of his people; working as
teacher, merchant, editor and minis
Ter of the gospel. He was for years
principal of Holsey Academy at Cor
dele, Ga.
he died surrounded. by his immedi-
ate family and friends who loved
and admired his noble Christian life.
Though advanced in years he would
never yield his place to any one
when it came to educational and
welfare work among the people. His
advice was generally sought by all
who knew his great depth of thought
and ripe experience.
His life was so clean and upright
that any people or generation of peo-
pie could we'll afford to emulate it..
He was an honored graduate of the
famous Atlanta University, having
finished its prescribed course in the
late seventies, prior to his coming to
Americas.
The deceased was born in 1853 at
Milledgeville, Ga. He came Of one
of the most prominent and highly re-
spected colored families in Georgia.
He is survived by his wife, Lucy
Phillips, who was born and reared
in Americas, where she is loved and
respected by all who know her-cer-
tainly she was constant help and in
spiration to her noble husband. Be-
sides his wife, he leaves brother,
Bishop c. H. Phillips, A. M, M. D.,
of Nashville, Tenn, who now presides
over the California district of the c.
M. E. church. He leaves two sis
tiers, Styles of Savannah,
and -- Rivers, of Milledgeville,
Ga. Also he leaves in Americas a
niece, Temple Coles and two nephewa

BOTH MEN AND WOMEN
CAN KEEP A SECRET.

Men delight in saying that women
cannot keep a secret and women
come right back al the wretches and
declare that it is the men VINO cannot
keep a thing to themselves.
"The Bat" the highly mysterious
play by Mary Roberts Rhinehart and
Avery Hopwood which Wagenhals
and Kemper present at the Rylander
theater on Wednesday has been prov
ing for the past year or 50, that both
the men and the women are wrong.
They can both keep a secret. And
they have.
When you were youngster, it was
probably one Of your pet beliefs that
if you and your pal went foraging
for apples in a neighbours orchard,
your pal would be sure to rush right
straight home and tell all about it..
And then, when you grew up, it prob
ably was a firm conviction with you
that if a neighbor CHANGED to see
you flirting even wee bit with some
pretty girl, your wife would be sure
to hear all about it the next day
from some obliging friend.
That is the everlasting suspicion
that turks in the breasts of the
mightiest and weakest of us. The
other fellow is going to tell He Tor
she) can't keep secret. To not tell
thing, is so we see it, well nigh
impossible. We have that little faith
in the human beings around us. And
if we but knew it, nine out of ten,
we are wrong. just a bunch of
nerves and suspicious and distrustful-
ness.
And this, we know, thanks in ev-
cry great measure to this same play,
"The Bat"
THE Bat" is a tribute to the I'M
selfishness and bigness of those thou
sands who go to make up the great
masses of theatergoers. And it has
been so plainly brought home that
it must have impressed anyone and
everyone to whose attention i: has
been called.
From the day "The Bat" was first
produced, critics and audience alike
have been asked to keep the story of
the play secret.

sang the lullaby that was so light
and dainty.
But even the curtain wasn't alone
in its effectiveness. The huge par.
rot in the square of yellow was a
thing to remember 1t had the quail
ties of a painting. But there were
other scenes, less finished, but more
spectacular which made the minstrel
important from scenic standpoint.
In fact, there is no angle from
which you can consider the show and
not find it well worth while. 1t
was a good minstrel.

BY ANGUS PERKERsoN

"I'm so pig iron rough that where
I come from the canaries all sing
bass" said Bert Swor at the Al G.
Fields Minstrels Monday night, at
at Atlanta theater; and stout man
in the audience choked so that he
had to be led out.
A few minutes later a saffron
colored drop curtain fell with huge
parrot painted on the center of it,
and standing before this two men IN
embroidered cloaks sang a lullaby
that was as dainty as the butterf es
painted on the corner of the curtain.
Bert Swor and a background of
PARROTS and embroidered cloaks-
that suggests the surprising variety
of the AL G. Field minstrels this year.
1t has changed and yet has lost moth
ing. 1t has reduced wisely the amount
of burnt cork and has added newer
and more interesting things. This
doesn't mean that it has los THE hum
or of a minstrel show. 1t SIMPLY
means that the show has realizedt
that minstrels, like the rest of things,
must move on and keep pace. 1t has
become modern.
The house was packed for the
opening night of the weeks engage
ment, and every part Of the house
found something it liked,
Up in the peanut, Son Bishop,
hanging over the railing, almost hung
100 far when Bert Swor moved down
the stage singing Alabama Bound. ;"
This was just after Bert had given
the last touch to his picture of the
black boy who went away in the
spring and returned to find that the
lock of the front door had been
changed and somebody else had the
key.
Honey chile he pleaded, femme
in. Use got some of yo' favorite sand
wiches-pig's feet"
Boy" answered the former lady
of his heart, "since | left you Use
been eating higher up on the hog"
In this, in the court room scene,
and as the thirsty aviator, Bert Swor,
was little funnier than he has ever
been here before; and though he
was the central figure in burnt cork,
there were others who made the most
of lesser opportunities. Rody Jordan
sang, Hes in the aJil House now"
with a heartfelt emotion; Johnny
Healey, as the policeman in the court
scene and in every other situation,
was a man to look at and laugh; and
half dozen others all contributed to
the Joy of the occasion.
Shifting from this to the more
sentimental phase of the minstrel we
find our attention centered first on
Jack Richards, who sang "Mollie
Darling" "Do you ever Think of
Me-" and a few more; and who both
looked and sang like a romantic fig
ure from opera. He couldn't have
been better. He would have been
singing yet if large part of the
audience had had its way. He fur
nished the song, just as Bert Swor
furnished the humor of the show. But
that doesn't mean there weren't 9TH
ers excellent voices. Billy Church
singing Somebody's Mother,c had
the amazingly high tenor voice with
out which no minstrel is complete
Ola Ellwood furnished the yodling,
and finally, Church and Richards,

BRIDES TO REVENUE
AGENTS REPORTED
McAuliHe Says That Every Man
Is Offered Money

Hartford, Feb. 2S-"Sure. l have
been offered money" said Thomas G.
McAuliffe today when asked whether
ha had beer offered money in con-
nection with his work as federal pro
hibition enforcement officer for Con-
necticut Not only have I been Of
fered money, but every agent under
my direction has been so APP
preached" declared McAuliffe, but
in every instance the offers have been
refused and the accused presented for
prosecution"
Mr.. McAuliffe said today that so
far as Connecticut was concerned, no
direct effort had been made to bride
the agents to permit transportation
of liquors, the brides having been Of
fered after the arrests had been made,
the purpose being to secure the re-
lease of the prisoners so that they
would not be presented in court. He
declared that the fact that every per-
son arrested in the state for violation
of the prohibition law had been pre-
scented for prosecution was sufficient
to indicate that the brides had not
been accepted.
When told that the federal auth
critics in Boston had demanded that
William J. Mccarthy, supervising
agent for New England, give all in
formation in his possession relative
to the Offering of money for lax en-
forcement of the prohibition law Nc
Auliffe said this had already been
freely given in Connecticut.
Mr. McAuliffe, when asked concern
ing one specific instance where a
bride had been offered to him. men
toned a case in Bridgeport, but de-
clined to name the man who had Of
fered the bribe. He said the infor-
nation had been turned over to the
office of the U. s. attorney and the
matter either had been investigated
or was in the process of investiga-
ton.
