Rev. DR.. Long, PaStor-elect
breaches to Large Crowd
at Second Bapt. Church,

A large crowd was at the Second
Baptist Church to listen to Rev. G..
NJ. Long. the recently called divine,
who is expected to accept the pas
torate. He delivered an impressively
able sermon, Hebrews 12:1-2. He
stated that the Apostle Paul por-
trayed this life as warfare. He
tells of the paraphernalia to be worn
by a Christian soldier. He advises
us to put on the whole armor of God.
He then proceeded to name and de-
fine the errors in this life. He de-
clared that the first was a prayerless
home, a prayerless church. The lat
ter means a dead church.
He spoke of the young Negroes,
who criticize churches, telling about
this and the other with reference to
them. He bluntly declared the
young Negroes had never built any
churches. These edifices of God
have been erected by the mothers and
fathers, many of the former wearing
handkerchiefs on their heads. If the
young Negroes want the kind of
churches of which they speak, let
them build them. Believe white peo-
pie; emulate the good and leave alone
the bad. Another bad trait is in our
economic and social folly. We start
up and build down.
There is too much time spent by
Us in athletics. One recently held at
Hampton cost $4,000. Another mis-
take made is our spiritual formality
and pretense. He compared some of
the members in the church like the
disappearing gun that he saw at Fort
Monroe. We fire on Sunday and then
disappea- the rest of the week. II
we are right and God be with US,
no one can harm us. His last citation
related to secret sins and violent
temper, strong drink and double
living.
He made a profound impression
upon those present. Rev. Longs
chauffeur, Albert Tillery, who is also
the organist of his church, was intro

Clock Ticks Toward Goal, Finish
Of TelEtale Period Candidates
Quicken Stride.

Civic pride and determination o.
vast communities to earn the tremen-
dous publicity that will result if the
candidate representing their town
wins the grand prize honor IN the
great campaign assures practically
all the outside contestants of strong
support during the closing days OF
the race. THIS fact undoubtedly ac-
counts for the resistless drive that
has been noticed on the part of
hustling contestants. Particularly in
outside towns, in the city similar
manifestations are becoming notice
able. In various neighborhoods,
lodges, churches, social groups, get
behind their favorite candidate to
give him the necessary backing to
win. Quite aside from these factors
in the race is the personal pride and
resolution not to be beaten that is
so marked in the race Of the most
vigorous contestant. / have raced

It is the salesman who sticks that

defeat meant" Remember Ma
poleon's orders to the drummer boy
"Beat retreat" said Napoleon,
when he felt that he was losing one
of his battles, when retreat was nee
essary, to save one of his armies.

The case of Moe Golden, white
clothing solicitor, charged with un-
lawfully receiving the amount of five
dollars by false pretense and mis-
representation with intent to cheat
and defraud Montague Haven, col
ored, took a sensational turn as the
hearing progressed. 1t was shown by
the testimony and admitted by the
accused that Montague undertook to
purchase a suit of clothes from
Golden, whose place is located at 21O
East Broad Street. He paid down
$500 on the suit. saying that he
worked for the Virginia Electric and
Power Co. Golden required him to
bring some one to testify that ne
worked for the company and to
identify him.
Montague went out and brought
another man, who assured Golden
that the colored man was working
for the railway company. Golden
said that he did not know the wit
hess. Thereupon Montague asked
for the return of his money. Golden
declined to give him either the
clothes or the money. Thereupon
Montague went out and swore out
the warrant. Montague said he had
worked for the Virginia Electric and
Power Company for many years and
that he had his badge at home.
Golden still insisted upon his proving
that he worked for the company and
declined to surrender the clothes or
money until he was satisfied on this
point.
Judge John L. Ingram had ques-
toned all parties closely. Then he
settled back and found Moe Golden
guilty of larceny and sentenced him
to ninety days in Jail. Golden said
ne would take the case to another
court Judge Ingram said he was at
liberty so to do. He had passed upon
$50 similar eases and ne was at
liberty to test it out in a higher
court. 81 can't get no protection
here" Golden said and he loudly pro-
tested. "You don't need any," re-
piled the Judge. 'It is these ignorant
people that you are defrauding, who
need protection" Golden said that
he was not given any time. Judge
Ingram insisted that he must either
him his money.
He finally ruled that the sentence
would stand unless he brought to
him the next morning receipt show
ing that he had done one thing or the
other. The last case passed upon by
Judge Ingram was one in which a
white man and a colored man had
been similarly treated. The accused
white man in that case was glad to
pay the cost of court in both cases
and to return to both compliments
their money.

PERCY GREEN
DISCHARGED
Killing Of Ben Faulkner an Acct
dent--No Evidence TO Support
Charqe of Murder.

Whether the vague rumors IN the
neighborhOod had any foundation mi
fact was answered in the negative
last Tuesday morning in the Poice
Court before Judge John l.. Ingram,
when after the disposition OF the
regular docket, the case against
Percy Green, charged with the
murder of Ben. Faulkner, Sunday
Aug. 7th, at 1928 w. Moore Ct
was dismissed. Atty. H. NJ. Smith,
the famous lawyer, who was to have
prosecuted Percy Green appeared mi
his behalf. The police officers told
of having received phone call tell
ing that some one had been killed.
Green said that he had the gun in
his coat in another room.
His sister, Mamie Watkins, had
locked the door and taken the key
out to keep him from going into the
street with the gun. He finally got
his coat and she tried to take it away
from him. 1t went off just as Faux
ner got in the doorway and killed
him. Cornelius Goode said that
Faulkner and Green were close
friends. They went to Green's house.
He was in the bed. The graphophone
was being played Percy's sister told
them not to play the graphophone on
Sunday as they might get arrested
for disorder, Percy got his coat. His
sister tried to take the pistol from
him and it went off. Percy and Ben
were friends, the latter having
bought tickets for the two to go to
Buckroe the following Monday.
r. Thomas said they were playing
on the Victrola when Percy's sister
said: Don't make SO much noise"
She took the crank out of the Vic
trola. Percy went to get his coat and
she grabbed him. He said if she
didn't turn him loose, he would shoot
in the house The pistol went OFT.
1t shot Ben standing in the doorway.
Percy and Ben were good friends.
This ended the case and Judge In
gram Immediately dismissed the
case. Percy Green has been in jail
since the killing.

ARCTIC POSSIBILITIES

Dr. Browns warning to the British Association that the white races are better fitted to col onize the colder regions than the hot raises once more the possibility of civilized and self-supporting emi= grants to the semi-frozen North. Dr. Browns view appears to be that in the long run such a change is not only possible but inevitable, be- cause the black races will stray to- wards the warm lands and the white ones will be driven northwards for new homes The first phase of our attitude towards the Arctic and Ant aretie-the phase of adventure and sheer attempts ito reach the Pole is over the next depends rather up- on the commercial possibilities of those regions. Of the Antarctic Dr. Brown did not think very highly as a scene for the most modest conner cial enterprise. but. like Stefansson, he is prepared to predict a very near future for "a scattered population of reindeer and musk-oX farmers in the barren lands os Arctic Canada, the tundras of Siberia, and even in Greenland and Spitzbergen. .

CANADA A REAL NATION

Canada is now d nation, so Tecog- nized throughout the world. She has been elected to a seat in the League of Nations. It IS only for a three year term but that is a minor matter It places this country in the position of being recognized as a factor independent of Great Britain or the rest of the Empire. True Canada did not get as many votes as Cuba but that was probably a matter of world politics. Many nations are jealous of the power ol Britain and for that reason would not concede anything to a British country that could possibly be avoided. At any rate. it is satis- factory to know that Canada is now recognized as a national entity and one that has an influence in world affairs. She had great influence in the war and now she is taking that place in time of peace.-Prinee Rupert News.

It seems that every Alaskan paper coming to The Gateway office lately contains accounts of oldtimers, the pioneers who gave their best years to the Territory. One cannot read of these sturdy men taking the Hast traiIa without a thought of the tre- mendous good they have accom- plished. Though their material gain could not have been much yet most of them were always provided with the necessities of life. enjoyed themselves occasionally. and were four-sQuare men in dealing with their felloWmen Generous to a fault, and kind, they would give you the shirt off their back if they thought you needed it.
