conference at the Bethel A. M ~.
church. The veneral prelate dwelt
upon the native virtues and strength
of the Negro woman as he had heen
able to observe them by close study
in this country and abroad and es-
pecially in Africa. For innate good
ness and tenacity for virtue. the Color
ed woman cannot be matched as
race, he said. During slavery without
protection from law or sentiment and
even now in manw places she does
suffer and die to maintain her woman
purity, and the achievements of the
Colored people the world over are
due largely to her character, he main
Mrs. A. e. Malone welcomed the

PAPER BARRED
FROM NIGERIA.

New York, Oct. 5.--Marcus Garvev's
weekly paper has been banned in
Nigeria, West Africa, and precautions
have been taken by the Government
there to stop propaganda of the Uni
versal Negro Improvement Association.
according to a letter from Addur-
Rhnman, received here iby Duse Mo-
hamed All. who is associated with the
Garvey publications,
Owing TO Garveyites belonging prin-
cipally to the Christian religion the
writer Is skeptIcai Of the associations
efforts to redeem Africa. He writes
In part:
Il feel confident In saying that no
propaganda of Mr.. Garvey's, how Wig
orous II may be, can have permanent
hold in West Africa II divorced from
Mohammedanism Perhaps II a relig-
i0us census of the natives OF Africa
were taken II would give about 75
per cent for the faith of Islam. and
feel sure that with the next two
or three decades this percestage will
have increased immensely.
Here in Northern Nigeria no pro-
paganda can be successful unless car
ried on by one Of the Islamic faith
Even then Il would be difficult unless
he settles down in this country.
"The Government has banned the
Negro World from entering into Nj
gerla. For the past three months 7
have received or seen no copy Of the
paper in the hands of those whom
know the subscribers. This gives
you an idea of the precautions that
are being taken to stop the u. N. J.,

Washington, D. c., Oct. 5.--A COM
mittee. consisting of r. M. Nixon. DIR.
Emmett ]. Scott, DR.. Greed Childs.
Rev. Emory Smith and Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell had a conference with
Secretary Weeks of the War Depart
ment Thursday afternoon with refer
ence to the proposed bathing beach
for Negroes on Columbus Island. They
declared that Columbia Island is prac-
tically inaccible and otherwise un-
suitable for the purpose. outside OF
it's distance from the city. IL was
stated that it could be untilized only
by the operation of ferry from the
Virginia shore.
1t was suggested by the committee
that in view of the long water front
of the city and the large area Of the
tidal basin, it ought not to be diff
ficult to find a more suitable nlena
for the beach than the Virginia shore.
Secretary Weeks. who has final iuris-
diction, said he would give the dues-
ton full consideration and see that
the Colored people were protected In
their rights in The mater.
These vigorous protests have been
made to the Wef Dep&r' ment against
bathing beach. for which congress an
propriated $4,000, on Columbia Island
opposite the agricultural experimental
station, on the Arlington reservation.
Colonel Sheriff., the engineer Off
Ger in charge Of public buildings and
at the eastern end of the island rs
the site for the bathing beach for
Colored people. He had authorized
building operations to begin earlv
last spring. but finally discontinued
because Of the. strong opposition
brought to bear by leading race men
and women OF the District Of Colum
bia.

Jasper County. Ga, where he had
eleven Negroes killed like beasts to
hide the fact that peonage existed on
the farm. Is now in charge of farm
ing operations in the 5000 acres OF
land attached to the state prison at
Milledgeville. Ga, where he Is serving
a life sentence, and where he Is said
to be the most favored convict in the
Williams neither wears stripes nor
sleeps in the Bull Pen" where the
other prisoners are confined. He wears
the gray uniform of the highest class
Of trusty, and has bed and eats his
meals in the informary. During the
day he spends his time riding horse
from one part of the prison to another
to direct the cultivation of the crons.
Recently. he and the prison SUPER
lntendent, B. III. Dunaway. made a
trips in an automobile to a point in
Jasper County near Williams home.
and the charge was mad that he had
been allowed to return home to at
tend family reunion Because Of
this charge, an Investigation was
made by the State Prison Commission.
and statement afterward was issned
declaring that Williams had been taxi
en- to Jasper County near Williams
home, and the buying clover seed to
be used on the prison farm.
He is hampered lbut very little nv
prison routine. He occupies himself
with planning the development OF the
prison planning the development of the
plans are carried out. His plain grav
suit and the wide black hat he wears
make him look like anything else in
the world than a convict. A tvnical
picture would present Williams stand

saddle and giving directions that Ne
gro convicts hasten to obey.
