THREATENED HOME OWNERS
AIDED
A new case wfyere attempts were
made to prevent a colored family from
. . occupying Its home and in which the
N. A. A. Ci P. rendered aid, developed
in Jamaica, Long Island, during the
past ween. Mr. and MrsTTM. H.
ferson purchased" a home recently at
110-173rd Street, Jamaica, moving into
their new residence on June 2nd.
After occupying the home for six
weeks they received a letter signed
^"Ku Klux Klan" ordering them to
move.
_ The case was reported to the N. A.
A. C. P. by Mr. Eugene Kinckle {fanes
of the National Urban League. The
Advancement -Association immediately
took up the rribtter with Police Commifcsioner
McLaughlin, Mayor Walker
and with the United States postal authorities,
inasmuch as the threat agaihst
Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson passed
. through the mails.- - ? .
Most of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson's
neighbors welcomed them into the
neighborhood and are exceedingly
friendly. The agitation against them
according to indications, is being stirred

NORFOLK JUDGE DECLARES
SEGREGATION ORDINANCE
INVALID FOR SECOND TIME
Norfolk, Va., - July 26?Declaring
4-1.
i/iiu x cMucuiuu du^i uguiiuii .Juruiimiit'C
passed recently'by the city of Norfolk
invalid and without effect, Judge
Spindle of the police court on July
15th ruled again against efforts to
herd the Negroes of .Norfolk in restricted
areas. This decision was rendered
in the case of Samuel Costen,
a colored man, who recently sought to
move his family into a house located
at Mapleton and Majestic .'Avenues, a
so-called white district. A warrant"
was issued against Costen on the
complaint of white neighbors chargdinance.
?David H. Edward*,?attorney?anef
President of the Norfolk Branch of the
N. A-.A. C. P. appeared for Mr. Costen.
Mr. Edwards was assisted by
B. J. Barnes. For the plaintiffs appeared
John B. Jenkins and Louis j.
Broudy who contended that the Norfolk
law was not affected by the United
States Supreme Coutt decision of
1917 in ?he Louisville case as the case
under consideration was identical with
tho one in New Orleans which the
Supreme Court of Louisiana has^ upheld,
which case is now pending in
the U. S. Supreme Court thru the work
of the New Orleans Branch of the
N. A. A. C. P.
Mr. Edwards made a brilliant argument,
cont?pding that the law did
not differ in its essentials from the
Louisville ordianoe; that it did abridge
the constitutional rights of citizens;
and that the .provision which
allows the occupancy of a home in a
white neighborhood by a colored family
on consent of the majority of
white residents of that section and
vice versa, were nn improper exercising
of legislative authority.
Following the submission of briefs
by attorneys on both sides Judge
Spindle rendered his decision declaring
the wnv 'invalid, unconstitutional
and without effect.
Judge Spindle's previous decision
was rendered when Mr. Edwards pro...

The Jordan & Moore Press, 308 Congress
Street, Boston, Mass. Price $2. i
Postpaid. . / . .
"The Funniest Book on.Earth. Over
Two' Hundred Stories, and After
Dinner Masterpieces."
So runs the advertisement, and in '
sober judgement this is probably the .
best collectio'n of short-stories that
America has ever had. Ami for this
good reason that the funny stories about
the Negro, whch dominates this
amazingly funny. Mr. Pickens has j
ries, but, at least to his white readers,
they will have "an ancient and__fishlike
smell." But while we will hear i
Booker Washirfgton's voice as we read ,
some of these colored bits they will |
smell fresh, salty. They are unmistakably
alive. ?
Especially does the Negro preacher
eiftivem tlje pages. The illiterate
black man Who fcolr. a call to-preachT 1
and with the Bible as his whole li- )
bVarypshouts- the gospel to his flock, i
will in a generation or- two have
passed away. From the standpoint
of ethics this will bo a good thing,
but the coming minister who Will find j
much of his gospel in the morning,
newspaper, will lack in noble ima- ;
gery. The two longest and most in
teresting tales that the book contains,
concern Negro preachers, the one
Standincr in the Sistino rhnrkel "in
front of Michael Angelo's, _Last h
Judgement, the other faded by
catastrophe of tbcr eruption of Mt.
Pelee. After telling how the Last
Judgment should,have been painted, i
how lacking it was in horses and cha- j
riots, in angels blowing their trum- ]
-pets, how Michael should have been i
there and Gabriel wlth^ his wings i
stretched twoard the East nnd toward ?
the West, the one colored preacher t
says: "Mr/Angelo $'in neve* had the I

here and contemplated the; missing
tarts of his picture; I had to say in
ny heart; 'Well, here'* an amateur.* "
Lnd the other preache* explained volcanic

Uoosa County with an Imagination
hat a scientist might envy. "In de

Not the least valuable part of the
took is. rhT inyCnrr?m-which ithe nn
hor gives his opinions on humor in
peech-making. "Humor," he tells
is, "is to a good lecture what proper
easoning is to good food: not the
kuiriment itself but its best vehicle,
naking it riiore acceptable, more palitable,
and causing it to 'go down'
nore easily." "Ijleal humor is alway?
hp sHadow or essence of more serious
noodfi,?as a shadow is the image of
i cloud." "It is a shallow listener
vho remembers only that the lectu er
told a funny "story." ** '
Mr. Pickens tells us that^it is a
jreat inrpropripty, a sign of ill-breedng;
for anyone to request the speakjr,
when^the- lecture is overt.-to tell
>ne of his funny stories again. The
'Unny story is not simply a funny
story. It relieves the strain of the se"ious^dcbate,
and it also makes clearer
the point that the lecturer is>
itriving to drive home. , j.
Those who have heard Mr. Pick-ms
speak remember how well he has

serious argument and the pat anecdote

A NEW ABOLITION MOVEMENT
A nmi'icn hi.g nnnwnhhlition mnvp.
pyent which should be encouraged by
avery humanitarian and by every lovrr
of justice, freedofn-ahd democracy.
Fhat- movement-is -represented by the
National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. It is
doing a great work among the American
Negroes and for them in the nation
at large.
The Association is organized to eihancipate
America from caste prejudice.
to set the Neerno free from the
barriers \vhich now confront him and
to open, to America the large gifts
of this grea(t group of her population.
This is the ambitious task of this.new
abolition movement. . ?
It has already achieved considerable
success in State legislatures and in
Congress. It has aroused the nation
?North?ami - ?South?to condemn
lynching as the shame of America.
It has stirred .Southern women to organize
to fight lynching, and out of
it has come Southern inter-racial commissions
to promote the welfare of the
Negro' ami to protect" him in his civil
righ|s. , .
This ne\?_ abolition society has been
no less efficient in the courts of law.
It has a long list of legal victories to
its credit. It is seeing to it that no
Negro shal^he unjustly punished beciiusfL
of prejudice against his race.
The Association co-operates with
other agencies in stimulating Negro
workingmen to Organize anjd to enter
unions when they are received on a
plane of equality. It advises them,
however, when white unions will not
tUom t/\ i.oa ^ * ?
I^V.V,*TV, UOC LIICTII pi/WCt IAJ
break down such opposition.
It works for the cultural advancement
of the race. R "has conducted
campaigns for better schools in the
South and has won fights against segregated
schools in the North. , It^
seeks to stimulate the arts ambng
Negrbds. /? - - -.
Such and.organizaion is rendering
a truly patriotic service. Membership
in it is not limited to Negroes.
People of other races may join
and cooperate in promoting its worthy
mropses. The old abolition movement
tought to free the Negro from chatel
slavery; the new abolition seeks to
'ree him from caste slavery. Is not
hat real Americanism?0

W. H. & F. M. SOCIETY HOLDS
SUCCESSFUL SESSION
The W.- H. & F. M. Society of the
Columbia District met in Annual session
at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Little
Mountain, S. C., July 15-18. Mrs.
Carrie McGill, our District President,
presided with grace and ease, and
throughout the it was evident
that she *?f&/the right person in
the right place. The Convention was
well attended and all officers and members
vied with each other in trying
to make this^one of the best sessions
ever held in the Columbia District.
The financial reports showed that the
pastors -and missionary workers are
hard at work in their local parishes
striving to do the Master's bidding.
Rev. E. K Pompeyj the pastor, and
his good people spared no pains to
make the occasion a joyous one for
everybody present, and too much cannot
bo said of the good people of that
community and' their hospitality.
They were assisted by Rev. H. D.
At the opening session, Rev. E. A.
Adams, our Acting Presiding Elder,
was introduced by the president, and
he very plainly set out the purposes
and intent of the meeting. Throughout
the entire Convention he rendered
valuable assistance to the women in
all their discussions, and showed himself
to be a parlimentarian, handling
quwiion wili! an ease tnat made
one know that he was thoroughly familiar
with the A.- M. E. Discipline.
In his many remarks, he cited incident
after, incident to show that the
A. M. E. Church and all its branches
is the greatest thing on earth nmong
I colored peopfe. He summed ^dp his
remarks on the missionary spirit by
saying we must get into the thing and
draw others.
The reports all showed that the District
was alive to its duties and intends
to put the program over the top.
We were favored with several visi-^

His two main thoughts, "It is better
to have a great depl of trouble than :

pathway to all true and immutable
progress," were*well discussed, showing
a great deal of trouble will cause

One-of the features of the Conven- j
tion was the Choir under the directtion
of Miss Katlierine Sharper. . This
Choir rendered valuable services.
Quite a number of delegates and ministers
took part ^n the discussions of
the many topic? and broyght out
many points. Space will not permit '
me to mention airthe names of those
who did take part, but I must mention
the paper read by Little Miss Eunice

was, "Dut?," and she derserves much
credit for her paper and the rendi-. '
