Brother Garfunkel
Addresses Local
Aerie of Eagles
(By B. 3. Get)
The regular Wednesday night
meeting was fairly well attended.
The brothers all seemed to be full
of pep and every one had something
to say.
One of the surprises of the eve
ning was the visit from Brother Lu
cas Garfunkel of Savannah Aerie.
Brother Gnrfqnkel has endeared
himself to all of the brothers by his
affable manner, his sterling quali
ties and by his past valuable serv
ices. He has a standing Invitation
to visit us at all times, either in
the capacity of a private in tho
ranks, os as a deputy to the grand
worthy president. . Brother Gar
funkcl gavo us a very fine talk and
if the brothers will take it serious
ly, it will ultimately redound to our
good.
Our aecretary, Brother Albert In
gram, arranged to have Mr. Crouch
come up and address the Aerie with
the view of tho Kagles taking on
another money-making proposition.
We gave him the ear and the air
and after his departure several of
the brothers wanted to cut Broth
er Ingrnm's thront, but were final
ly shown the lack of wisdom of
tills. As a punishment to Albert, tho
matter will lie reported to Mrs. Al
bert who will give him his just de
serts.
On top of all this Brother P. P. P.
Elliott had another scheme for
making ten thousand dollars for
our social fund. This scheme was
taken under advisement and we
hope Brother Elliott will not dis
appoint us.
Now It can be readily seen ny all
brothers who do not attend our
meetings, that they arc missing a
lot of fun and some money too for
when we make this ten thousand
dollars we are going to divide it
among those brothers who are reg
ular In their attendance.
Brother Lewellyn Jasper Rchnul
was on the absent list last night, he
was reported sick, not physically,
but mentally, but we feel this Is
only n temporary ailment with
Brother Bchaul and that he will be
on hand next Wednesday night to
share In the p’roceeds of Brother
BlllOtt’l fantasy.
Brother Jullun Boss, O. F. D.,
(meaning our future governor) gave
us a Splendid oration Inst night and
told ua everything he haq on Ills
mind, which consumed three
minutes time, lint ono of the most
Important things he said was that
he Intended pushing a very Impor
tant matter when lie attended the
next meeting of tho legislature, one
that not only concerns the cntlro
order of Euglos, but effects the wel
fare of every person In the United
States. A few more men like Ju
lian Boss In the legislature would
put Georgia in double first place.
Brothers, If you want to enjoy
tho benefits of thro rder, please
pay your dues up to data and la
advance ts possible. No business
enn exlet without an income, neith
er can a fraternal order. Don't
watt for the collector to coll on

MANY PRAISE OFFER
OF NEW DICTIONARY
Language Guide Should Keep
Apace With Flow of
Added Words
Distributing a new dictionary has
brought this paper many compli
mentary remarks. One subscriber
who presented coupons yesterday
for half a dozen dictionaries for
different employes and members of
his family said he deemed it neces
sary that a dictionary should prog
ress with tho language Just as
a newspaper does. Tho world moves
rapidly these days and only The
Now Universities is apace with to
day's growth of the language.
Tho departments handling this
great educational offer are being
kept busy handing out the books.
More reserves had to bo rushed
last night to fill up the rapidly
depleted stock. At this rate the
first and limited edition will soon
bo exhausted.
While readers are eager for the
book on account of Its being au
thoritative and complete its ab
solute newness appeals to thous
ands. It has been many a long year
since an actually new dictionary
was given to the public. The New
Universities Dictionary Is new in
all the word Implies—new in con
tents, new In type, new in arrange
ments of helps to word study. Par
ticularly is It new In making the
study of today's English easy foi
young people who are so situated
j that they' cannot attend schools
' and obtain individual Instruction.
I Unaided, a young man of woman
employed may learn the correct use
of the English of modern business
nnd society if they but follow the
directions of the great university
teachers whose articles on "Stand
ard English," "Practical Syntax"
(which means: How to make good
sentences), "Punctuation" and
"Etymology" appear, plainly writ
ten In simple English, In this book.
Even the wc,rd "Etymology,”
which looks harsh and forbidding
to a beginner, is made simple If
one reads the article by Clark S.
Northrop, Ph. D„ instructor In
English In Cornell University.
Processor Northup’s article tells
bow to learn where our words were
found, why we adopted them and
bow we changed them to mean
wliat wo wanted to say. That's
what Etymology Is and this paper
distributes this dictionary because
it wants every reader to know all
about the language.

the old dictionaries. They tell how to build and

Take One Home Tomorrow —Money Back If Not Satisfied
A DICTIONARY ABSOLUTELY NEW
News of Colored People
In and Around Augusta
(By A. W. WIMBERLY)
I take the following, which ap
peared editorially in the Christian
Recorder, she official organ of the
African Methodist Episcopal church,
published at Philadelphia, Rev. R.
K. Wright, Jr., editor. The excerpt
here given Is as true as it is amus
ing, and X regret that I cannot re
produce the article In its entirety;
RACIAL POLITICAL -
LEADERSHIP
“We asked man of affairs tha
other day what he thought of our
political leadership. His reply was
there ain’t no sich animal."
"While we do not take what he
implied as literally correct, the time
Is propitious to inquire as to our
political leadership. What is it?
Hew effective is it? What does it
promise?
“In a democracy or a republic
uch as ours purports to be, politi
cal leadership is based upon the
ability to secure the confidence and
co-operation of the people or a
group, and to direct them toward
action beneficial to the group life
In this sense we cannot say that
we have any very effective leader
ship. For group leadership Implies
group action, and that presupposes
group self-consciousness, sucti as
yet we cannot say the Negroes
possess. Our leadersnlp has not yet
been such as grows out of or de
pends upon the coqkciousness of the
race. The great mass of Negroes so
far as political action is concerned
are still like the bale of cotton, hard
to move. The leadership has shaken
it but not set it In motion, not di
rected It. As a matter of fact the
leadership which now exists is
largely self-appointed, and de
pends for its potency upon factors
outside the group. The writer re
calls, in illustration of this point, a
conversation with the late Marry
W. Bass, Pennsylvania’s <irst color
ed member of the legislature. In an
swer to a protest against a certain
course of action Bass was pursuing,
as not the best for his colored
constituents, this genial politician
said, ‘My dear doctor, you arc
wrong. I am in perfect accord with
my constituents. I have consulted
both of them. You know I have
only two —Charley Seger and Char
les B. Hall’ (two powerful white
political leaders.)
'They sent me to the legislature
and to them alone, my good doctor,
am I responsible.’ And Bass was
correct so far as responsibility for
holding his Job was concerned."
All -the private colored schools
are over-crowded. For years these
have been forced to carry on work
that was clearly that the the ed
ucational authorities of Richmond
county. Having impoverished them
selves in carrying on this work for
all these years, "these school* are
not now able to furnish additional
buildings to accomodate the negro
youth of Augusta and Richmond
county, and the Board,of Educa
tion steadfastly refuses to provide
for them, and It seems that the
only remedy for this situation is foi
the colored men and women of this
city to band themsslves togethet
and provide a substantial school
building to accomodate the large
and Increasing number of colored
boys and girls now doomed to igno
rance and crime. The suggestion
was made by one of the large color
ed taxpayers of the county, who is
now looking to the calling of the
colored people, men and women
with a view to doing something to
relieve the situation. He declared
“the situation is abominable, and
the claim that this Is a Christian
community seems to be a myth.”
That the situation is grinding goes
without saying, but it “is a long
lane that has rib turn,” and it is my
opinion that the limit has been
reached and reaction is sure. Hot
heads never win battles. No man,
white or what not, questions the
righteousness of the colored people's
cause in this fight. The white peo
ple of»Augusta have hearts. A large
number of them favor the carrying
out of the law as laid down by the
Georgia legislature for the govern
ment and conduct of the public
schools of this county. That legis
lature was composed, with one pos
sible exception, of Georgia white
men. The same authority provided
the machinery for getting out of of
fice men who refuse or neglect to
live up to their oaths, and function.
While all that is true, yet I want
to remind the colored people that
owe it to the good white citi
zens who are Insising that tt’y
shall have their due in this school
matter, to keep their heads cool
and to do nothing hastily and with
out due consideration. It is en
couraging to note that both the
daily papers of Augusta have de

manded that the colored people I
shall have exact justice In the
matter of school facilities. These
two papers represent all the white [
people of this city. In this view of
the situation I confidently believe
that the colored people of this city
are going to be given a substantial
school building. I therefore urge
them to possess their souls in con
fidence in the good white friends
here who have never hesitated to
stand by the colored people in the
past, and who will not turn away
from them In this contention for
what the law has provided for all
citizens. For every wrong there is
a remedy.

The slogan “Shop more from 10
to 4 and you’ll avoid the crowds,”
is to be used in newspapers ad
vertising, car and show window
posters and in other forms of
publicity.
Advantages of the 10 to 4 shop
ping pointed out are these: More
passengers can get seats ano street
cars if they shop during these "off
peak" hours; clerks in stores can
serve customers better if trading is
scattered through the day.
Street car companies can make
the most economical use of their
rolling stock. Every street car com
pany must add materially to its
number of cars early in the morn
ing and after 4 P. M. The rest of
the day many of these cars stand
idle.
A test was given the plan in ft
few cities during the holidays last
year and it proved so successful
that a national mnyo-’-nt now has
been decided upon. The most
tensive test t.as made in Connec
ticut. Virtually every merchants 1 '
orenn*z!>*inn. and minv newspapers
there joined with the electric rail
ways in tho movement.
