NEGROES TO HAVE HEALTH
WEKK.
April 22-28 National Negro Health
Week
The week of April 22-28 will be
observed by all colored people as
National Negro Health Week.
Plans are now being made by tho
Colored people in North Carolina
to clean up and get healthy dur
fp" lug this week and the movement
, has the endorsement of tho State
Board of Health which will co
operate to tho extent of furnish
ing for the occasion health litera
ture for free distribution, also
exhibits, lantern slides and lec
tures on various health subjects.
Tho movement was inaugurated
In 1915 by Booker T. Washington
who considered that the high
death rate of the negro was tho
n«xt fight the race should make.
In issuing his cglKfor a united
effort to this end on the part of
his people, he said: "We may
differ on other subjocts but there
is no room for differences here.
We must reduce our high death
rate, dethrone disease and en
throne health. Without health
and long life all else fails. Let
us make a strong, long, uuited
pnll together."
According to the Negro Year
Book, 460,000 negroes in the South
are seriously ill all the time, at an
annual cost of $75,000,000; 112.-
000 negro workers in the South
are sick continuously, losing an
ntial earnings of $15,000,000
225,000 negroes in the South dio
annually paying a funeral expense
bill of #15,000,000; 100,000 of
these deaths could be prevented,
saving annually $0,500,000 in
funeral expenses alone, and in
- potential earnings $l?0,000,0i»0.
The vital statistics records of
, tho State Board of Health show
that the negro death rate in the
State is much higher than that of
the white, the white rate being
11.5 and tho colored 10. J). For
this reason it favors the negro
health week movement or any
other movement that will reduce
sickness and death at this point.
It makes the suggestion that
towns and communities observe
" health week during any week of
the spflng or summer that is most
3 convenient, and not to disregard
it altogether because the week of
April 22-28 may not be conven
ient.

MILITARY CAMPS
Many Will Go-Mr. Palmer, War
Correspondent, to Lecture * I
Cor. of The Gleaner.
ChApel Ilill, N. C., April 2.—AH
many as 200 students ami mem
bers of the faculty of the Uni
versity of North Carolina are ex
pected to attend the military
camps at Plattsburg, N. V., this
summer. Many students attend
ed the camp last year, several go
ing on free scholarships offered
It is tli} unanimous opinion of
these men that the camp training
is excellent and they nro goin.;
again. The great need of mill
tary training at the present time
of crisis will induce a great many
to go.
The Army Appropriation bill
this year provides funds to main
tain these camps of instruction
and training, and furnishes free
of charge transportation, subsist
ence and uniforms to citizens in
attendance. Thus the matter of
expense is eliminate I. The quali
fications for attendance include
sound health and the equivalent
of at least a high school education.
The applicants must be between
the ages of 18 and 45.
These military camps build up
a reserve by enabling the govern
ment "in times of peace, to train
citizens for use in time of national
emergency. They foster a pa
triotic spirit, without which a
nation soou loses its virility, ami
falls into decay." In addition the
camps give a healthful outdoor
life and abundant physical train
ing. The camps for adults will
II umber four: June if, July l;July
11, Aug. 5; Aug. 11, Sept. 'J; Sept.
IS, Oct. ll'. Junior camps for
younger boys will also be held at
Fort Terry, i'lutu Island, New
York. Most of the Carolina men
will attend tfie June, July and
August camps. The State officer
in charge of camps for the Eastern
Division to whom applications are
inade is Jiobt. W. Glenn, State
Division Secretary, Greensboro,

Frederick I'almer, the noted
war correspondent, will vif.it Ihe
University of North Carolina oil
Thursday of this week, and lec
ture to the students on his experi
ence as an eye-witness of the bat
tles of the Homme and around
Verdun. He will give a I'J minute
talk and then show moving pic
tures of the batlle fronts. So
great an interest has been aroused
in this lecture that practically
every seat in the house has already
been engaged. Mr. I'almcr de
livered a private lecture to the
war college in Washington a few
days ago lie is coming South
primarily to deliver his lecture
here, at the earnest solicitation of
i'rof. Archibald Henderson. Mr
Calmer has probably seen more of
actual modern warfare than any
other mail living, lie lias been
war correspondent in every im
portaut war since tho Spanish-
American and has been on every
battlefront of the present Euro
pean war.
The University baseball team
has a big week of it this week. It
will play Wake Forest, Davidson
and Elou among State colleges aud
Vale .University Saturday. All
games will be played here on
Emerson Field. Saturday week it
meets Virginia for tho tirst game
of this season, and tho two teams
meet hero on April 10. Though
largely made "ip of new material,
the team this year lias so far not
met with a defeat, and has ex
hibited tine team work and indi
vidual capacity. Eewellyn and
I'owell will do most of the pitch
ing while Henuett will receive,
liuun Heam is proving an efficient
coach. The team representing the
freshman clans also has an inter
esting schedule arranged, with
most of their games on home
grounds.
The partnership between "Me
uiid Allah", appears to have been
dissolved.
Some of the recalcitrant Sena
tors can't imagine the President
as having had any other kind than
a stubbon cold.
As Enver Bey says the Bagdad
troops "fell back slowly for mili
tary reasons," it is assumed that
thcro weren't enough airships to
go around.
Whatever may be said of Con
gress, it is composed of willing
workers, most of whom do not care
whether there is such a thing as a
summer resort.

Colored County Commencement.
Last Saturday was a big day for
the colored schools of the county.
The occasion was the Colored
County Commencement. The day
was ideal and t lie crowd large.
This WHS not the tirst annual
County Educational Rally for the
colored people, but U was the first
County Commencement, as this
year brought forth the tirst grad
uates. There were three gradu
ates—Myrtle and Marie Ilolt of
tho Woods Chapel school and
IMary Ellen Turner of Union Ridge
school. These girls passed a good
examination, making, average
grades on all the subjects.
The address of the day was made
by Mrs. Holland, state Colored
Su|M-rvisor of Schools, ller ad
dress was plain, practical and
good.
The exhibition of school pro
ducts was fine. Sewin.', Manual
Arts work was largely in evidence
There was a large displ.iy of
dresses, aprons, mats, rugs, axe
handles, hammer handles, hand
rakes, b iskets, etc.
The first spelling prize was won
by Eddie Evans of Patillo school
and the second prize by Martha
Miles of Unity.
The crowd was attentive, ap
probative and orderly throughout
the entire day. Such a splendid
exhibition, such a large and inter
ested crowd speak well for the
colored people of our county.

N. C, STATE COLLEGE. /
' Large Dormitory to Begin at Once.
. The work, of constructing a large
new dormitory at N. C. State Col
lege of Agriculture and Engineer
ing will begin at once. The plant*
have been accepted and the con
tract will be awarded this week.
The recent Legislature appro
priated, through bond issue,
$300,000 to the.College to use in
permanent improvement for the
next six years. This building will
be the first use of these funds.
The General Assembly of 1915
granted $20,000 for buildings at
State, this amount being used to
erect one section of a new dormi
tory, which had been badly need
ed for several years. The plans
now under Way are to complete
this building by adding four new
sections.
Upon completion, this dormi
tory will accommodate 192 stu
dents and, judging from the in
quiries and applications already
received, all the additional room
ing capacity of the institution will
be occupied with the opening of
college next fall.
The building will be modern in
every particular, and will be built
along the same architectural style
as the 1911 Dormitory. The plans
call for three floors and a base
ment. The whole building is cut
up into diyisions of four rooms to
the floor and baths are placed on
«ach floor of each of these divis
ions. All of the rooms are large
and airy with ample closet space.
In the basement there is provided
dressing room, storage room and
baths for the use of athletic teams
of the College aud similar accom
raodations for the visiting teams,
both of these opening directly on
Riddick Field.
Addresses of All Old A. & M. College
Men Wanted.
West Raleigh, N. C., April 4.
It is requested and urged that all
former students of North Carolina
State College of Agriclture and
Engineering (formerly N. C. Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts), who did not graduate, send
thoir addresses to the Alumni
Secretary.
The College, since its founding,
has always kept up with the move
ments of its graduates, but, prior
to the establishment of the office
of alumni secretary, has made no
concerted effort to keep track of
the men who did not graduate.
The name of every person to enter
the College is, of course, preserved
on the records, but such a ma
jority of these former students
have changed their residences
since their attendance as to make
the records unserviceably rnac
curate in getting iu communica
tion with these men. This call is,
therefore, issued in the hope of
reaching many old A. and M. men,
tlie whereabouts of whom the
College knows nothing at the pres
ent time.
All persons having atten led N.
C. State College of Agriculture
and Engineering without graduat
ing, regardless of the length of
time of such attendance, are earn
estly requested to send their ad
dresses to Buxton White, Alumni
Secretary, West Raleigh.
Railway Expenses Outrun Receipts.
Washington, D. C, April 4, —Ex-

Oompany increased twice as much
as earnings during February, ac
cording to showing results
of operation, "exclusive of interest,
rentals, and other income charges,
announced today by Comptroller A.
H. Plant as follows:
Gross revenue, February, 1917,
$5,998,107, an increase as compared
with 1916 of $276,361, or 4.83 per
cent; operating expenses, taxes and
uncollectiable railway revenue, $4,-
638,336, an increase of $546,398, or
13.35 per cent.
Dross revenue for tbe eight
months' period, $52,096 028, an in
crease as compared with 1916 of
$6,320,058, or 13.63 per cent;
operating expenses, taxes and un
collectible railway revenues, $36,-
657,342, an increase of $4,025,487
or 12.34 per cent.
Southern Railway Will Help Dispose
of Farm Products.
A special* from Atlanta, G«->
says:
That every Southern farmer who
grows a food crop this year will
be able to dispose of it at hand
some prices either in its original
shape or as live stock was the
unanimous opinion of the fifty ex
perts of tbe Development Service
of the Southern Railway System
and affiliated lines who met in At
lanta to discuss plans for farm
marketing, immigration, and the
agricultural and industrial de
velopment of the South.
The market and farm products
agents are aiding the movement
for increased production of food
crops in the South by their efforts
to put growers in touch with deal
ers and consumers desiring their
products and have-been so suc
cessful that the demand for pro
ducts of Southern farms has great
ly exceeded the supply.
While live stock growing is be
ing advocated earnestly, farmers
are urged to provide food crops
before buying live stock. Any
farmer in the territory served by
the Southern Railway System or
affiliated lines who desires aid in
disposing of any crop will be given
all possible assistance if he will
Communicate with the farm pro
ducts agent located in his s?qtion,
or with Roland Turner, chief
farm products agent, Atlauta, Ga.
A certain confusion is certain
to creep into the minds of any
American who regulates his opin

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Lesson ll.—Second Quarter, For
April 8,1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of tha Leoon, John xl, 17-44.
Memory V«r«e«, 25, 28—Golden Taxt,
John xi, 25—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. O. M. Steam*.
Tlie lesson chapter today Is out of
the regular order. Just one lesson, be
cause of its being suitable for Easter
This is the home In Bethany which
seemed to mean more to Jesus than
any other and to which we were In
troduced in Luke x. 38-42, when we
'saw Martha serving, but not restfolly,
Mary serving also, but finding time to
sit at Jesus' feet ami hear His Word'
and commended by Him. We shall
visit them again two weeks hence.
In Matt, xxvl, 0, It Is called the bouse
of Simon, the leper, and we feel like
asking some questions, that we may
know the family better. But whom
shall we ask? Uutil we can sbe them
and Inquire more fully, If It shall then
seem best, let us rejoice with them
that Jesus loved each of the three, as
It Is written, "Now, Jesus loved Martha
and her sister and Lazarus" (verse 6).
Many Marthas have been made glad
by tills verse. lam glad because the
Son of God loved me and gave Him
self for me and that He loves with
everlasting love and to tlie uttermost
(Gal. 11, 20; Jer. xxxl, 3; John xlll, 1,
R. V. M.». Wiiy He permits sickness
and suffering and death to come to
those whom He loves is a constant
question witli many, but there is com
fort In the assurance that God Is love.
His way Is ln-rfeet No real evil can
ever come to His own, and the suffer
ings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed In us (I John
Iv, 8; I's. xviii, 30; xcl, 10; Rom. vlll,
18). Why He did not go to them as
soon as He received the word, but
abode two days where He was (verse
G), Is another perplexity, but we must
hare absolute confidence In Him and
keep Ringing, "Just and true are Thy
ways" (Rev. xv, 3).
It would be well if the last clause of
verse 4 held us under all circumstances,
"For the glorjr of God, that the Son of
God might be glorified." Glory to God
in the highest Is the first thing, and
then peace (Luke 11, 14). When He did
come Martha met Him first and Mary
a little later, but both greeted Him
witli the same words, "Lord, if Thou
hndst been here my brother had not
died" (verses 21, 32). They sound re
proachful, but He understood and loved
them just the same. He spoke to Mar
tha of resurrection, but she thought
thnt He spoke of some far off event
(23-201. The resurrection of the right
eous should be to believers an ever
present possibility and also the thought
of being caughfup without dying, both
of which He here asserts. See also
I Thess. iv. KS-18; I Cor. xv, 50-53. Not
something in the far distant future,
but a possibility any day. "Yet a very
little while. He that Cometh shall come
and will not tarry" (Heb. x, 37, R. V.).
Mary did not come to Him until Mar
tha returned and said, "The Master Is
come and calleth for thee." Then she
arose quickly and came unto Him
(verses 28, 20i. I wonder how the
Jews comforted her (verse 31). How
would you comfort such a sad heart?
God Is the Father of mercies and the
God of all comfort, who comforts us
that we may comfort others, but I re
member only one place where It Is
written, "Comfort one another with
these words" (11 Cor. 1, 3, 4; I Thess.
iv, 18). Of too many It might be said,
"Miserable comforters are ye all".(Job
xvl, 2). In due time they came to the
tomb* and Jesus wept and groaned In
Himself (verses 35, 38).
On this occasion, as ne entered Jeru
salem and In Gcthsemnne are the three
occasions on which it Is recorded that
Jesus wept, but He was ever a man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief
(Isa. liii, 3). When He said, "Take ye
away the stone," Martha objected, as
if it were an Impossible ease, for he
had been dead four days. His reply Is
for encb of us and for every day, "Said
I not unto thee that If tbou wouldest
believe thou shouldest see the glory of
God?" (Verse 40.) The same truth Is
In Ps. xxvll, 13— I believed to see. The
world's motto is, "Seeing is believing,"
but the Christian believes In order to
see. Jesus talked a moment with His
Father and tlieq cried with a loud voice,
"Lazarus, come forth 1" Instantly he
was at the mouth of the tomb, alive
and well, but still bound hand and foot,
with the grnveclothes and his face
bound about with the napkin. The
same word that gave him life brought
him also to the mouth of the cave.
Some day that same voice will bring
forth all the dead, the righteous at the
beginning of the thousand years and
the unjust at the close of that period
(chapter v, 28, 291.
It probably guve fear and trembling
to some to see a dead man stand up
with the graveciotlies still on him, but
Jesus said, "Loose him and let him go,"
and soon he Is freed from the hablll

i Ing Christ: truly a man, for He wept;
truly God, for He can raise the dead,
and He Is ever "this same Jesus."
Many who have come to life from be
ing dead 111 sins have not lieen fully
freed from their graveelothes, the
things they did In their former days
when they were of this present evil
age, but ne who gave life is able to set
free from all bondage and make free
Indeed to serve Him. .If you are free
by His word and Spirit. He will use you
to set some one else free If you will.
WHY SUFFER SO ?
Why Buffer from a bad back,,
from sharp, shooting twinges, head
aches, dizziness and distressing kid
e.v and bladder ills? Graham people
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills,
could you ask for stronger proof of
merit?
Mrs. J.M. Crawford, W. Harden
St., Graham, says: 'I suffered so
severely from backache that I could
hardly get around. Often sharp
twiges caught e across my loins,
'was so tired that I could hardly
move and was nervous. I titled dif
ferent ediclnes for .V kidneys but
got no relief until I began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills. They* made
me feel better in every way and my
back stopped bothering me.'
Price, 50c, at all dealers. Dont
»i:nply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Crawford had. Poster-
