At the same instant Georges Pelletier ar

occasions if he expected his book to be one of
the six best sellers. No end of misunderstood

which was usually interpreted by girl as

happy smile framed itself on her lips. She
gave him caressing glance.
Georges bent down. He kissed his wife's

She looked so vexed that Nine Soccard tried
to calm her:

Isabelle didn't answer at once She settled
herself in her narrow bed. She buried her

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ASSOCIATION.

Dallas, Texas, found us without a
permanent president, due to the
the late change in the presidency of
Wherefore University. The meet
ing was called to order at 2 P. M.
Wednesday, February 10th, by Vice
President G.. A. Edwards, and the
entire business of the two days
session was transacted with Vice
President Edwards as the presiding
officer Near the close of the sec
ond days session. DR.. John A.
Gregg, successor to DR.. w. s.
Scarborough, former president of
Wilberforce University was elected
president of the association.
One of the leading features of
this session was an able address by
DR.. A. S. Jackson, secretary of the
Board Of Education.
DR.. Jackson gave a comprs ZEN
sive survey of the educational ques-
ton especially as it relates to our
church schools. He expressed abid-
ing faith and conservation of the
present administrative heads of our
schools and shed many brilliant
rays of sunshine and cheer in his
mastery address. Saying of course
many good things which are not
lawful now to utter). DR.. jackson,
from the beginning has been a val
ued memh0f of the Association and
firm believer in its possibilities.
Some items of important busin ess
transacted We're:
1. Considerating ways and means
of defraying expenses of the COM
mittees on Standardization, Admin
istration and Constitution and By
laws, incident to requiring them to
meet and make full reports at a
special meeting called at WILDER
force University in June, 1921
2. Request for each College
President to forward to DR.. A. s.
Jackson, secretary of education, a
copy of his latest catalogue.
8. Adoption of a motion to have
the annual meeting of the Assocla-
ton at one of the correctional
meetings would be held at the
sites of Bishops Councils and other
gatherings would be solely for spec
ial conferences.
Some important questions discus
sed were:
1. That the presidents OF our
connectional schools, because of the
very nature of their work, should
be ex-officio members of the Board
Of Education and of the Board Of
Trustees of their respective schools
and that the Bishop leaders of the
respective districts where our con-
nectional schools are located to be
so implored.
2. That the editors Of our
church papers and especially the re-
porters of our various meetings be
requested to give some publicity
to the real work Of our schools, as
well as the familiar wrlte-ups of
our annual meetings and financial

Above are exc rpts from an address
delivered last night at the Second
Calvary Baptist church by william
Pickens, Negro. who was born in
Anderson county and who has recently
been making a speaking tour of the
country in the interests of the Nation
al Association for the Advancement Of
the Colored People. The address was
heard by a large congregation and he
stressed the Importance of a cordial
cooperation between the two races.
the speaker holding that any advan-
cement made by the Negro would
necessarily react to the good of the
white. the relations of the two being
so intertwined that one race can not
be benefited without the other parti-
cipating in that benefit.
In speaking of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Color
ed People, the speaker. said its aims
were to get freedom for the Negro,
the right to vote and to go and come
in the public estates.
The necessity for organization was
also stressed by the speaker. I'VE
can't have liberty, freedom, education
and happiness for nothing. We have
to pay for them. In order for our
people Ato work efficiently to a little
better and safer position, we have
got to organize" he said. You can't
go anywhere except to hell without
organization
The address was interspersed with
a number of amusing anecdotes char
acterized by the broad humor so
quickly appreciated by the Negro man,
and more than once the speaker was
interrupted by applause.
At the conclusion of the address
Short speeches in reference to the
work of the association for the adj
vancement of the Negro were made,
after which a reception was held.
