The Executive Committee of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schoois held a meeting January 16th at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, for the purpose of ar ranging a program et cetera for the next annual meeting of the Association to be held at Tus kegee Institute, July 25-27. The program set up and which will be published soon, promises hoped that there will be a large representation of teachers at the next annual meeting of the Association. THE TUSKEGEE CONFER ENCE. The Annual Tuskegee Farm ers’ Conference, recently held at Tuskegee Institute, was very largely atetnded by farmers, educators, social workers and et^prs-.interested in the uplift of the Nflgro race. - Marked educational and eco nomic progress was indicated in the discussions and reports. The importance of education, buying of homes and intensive farming were particularly stressed in the conference. An interesting part of the pro gram of the conference was the presentation of a fine truck by the farmers of the State, parti cularly those of the county in which Tuskegee Institute is 1q cated, to the movable school (or the school on wheels), conducted in the State of Alabama by Tus kegee Institute. The truck, which was fully equipped with sucl\ outfits as are necessary for farm demon sration work and home econom ics, will be quite an asset to the movable school work ask it is being conducted by Tuskegee. The annual Farmers’ Confer ences of Tuskegee are contribut ing much to the colored farmers of the country in the way of in* spiration and valuable informa tion. ' MR. J. S. HILL DEAD. On the 24th of January Mr. J. S. Hill, a well-known citi zen and banker of Winston Salem, died at his home in that city. He had been in poor health for several months. By care ful management Mr. Hill had ac quired large real estate holdings in Winston-Salem and was per haps one of the wealthiest col ored men in the State. He was BlliM To the Athletic University, Cl Gentlemen student days. These reminis cences, the first installment whkh apepars in this number, | wffl he * feature of the paper, for several weeks. We are sure many of oar readers will follow them to the last word. )PEN LETTER Council J. C. S. ,v jmiiBim-i. gratifying to note that the spirit at J. C. S. U. towards athletics is not the same that existed at Old Biddle in my days there. I see in-your recent letter to the alumni, that you have vis ions of a new athletic field, a first-class gymnasium and an Athletic Director. If a student had ' advocated these, things openly 15 years ago, he would have been stigmatized dreamer or a fool. I am sure you see the point clearly, when you say, “The Ath letic Department is essential to the growth of the institution, whether we like to admit the! fact or not. Athletics have a unique value in the American college life, and no American college today can remain indiff erent to the question of college sports and hold its proper place, with other colleges and Univer sities.” 'L>~' * If this is true, it behooves us to have the best Athletic Depart* merit possible at J. C. S. Univer sity. It had been a question m my mind, before reading your open letter, whether the University would accept counsel from the Alumni in matters pertaining to Athletics. I heartily agree that the Alumni should support the athletics program of the Uni versity 100 per cent, and I fur ther feel that the alumni should have a stronger voice in shaping the athletic program of the SCI190I. The alumni should be represented on the athletic coun cil. When I say this, I do not mean just the few men in and around Charlotte. Lincoln, How ard, Ohio State University (the universities have an alumni ad visory conpnittee as part of the athletic council and also gradu ate managers of the foot ball teams. This is advisable for foot ball, inasmuch as it is a business that requires superior executive ability. I do not even know the coach, but unless he is of the calibre of Fritz Pollard of Brown, Shel borne of Dartmouth, Slayter o$ Iowa, or West of W. and J. he is not the gentleman to train the sons of our alma mater. If you can fiirnish the mater ial and the coach I am sure the sons of the “Gold and Blue” may be depended upon to do their part in furnishing the “long green.” ~ As for my part, I am 100 per cent for your program and will do all in my power to give “Dear Old Biddle” the fastest and best team on the continent. Yours for better athletics, W. G. CAPEL. Berkley, W. Va. Jan. 15th. SALEM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, ANDERSON, S. C. (By Mrs. M. Y. Marion.)

Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to Say a Word^ about our work in Western North Carolina. The Rev. P. W. Toney, who has served this work for more than a year, is striving with un tirij^interestanden^imasmtaj where any earnest Christian would feel proud of .both him and the church. Notwithstanding the fact that the church is surrounded by five other churches of different de nominations, Rev. Toney works as though he would work for ever, and as though he would die tomorrow. Truly, he has tenacity of purpose and intends to conquer though he dies. Sunday morning Rev. Toney preached a sermon that will re main in the hearts of the people for many, years to come. His text was found in the 15th chapter of Luke, 28th verse: “And he was angry and would not go in.” Rev. Toney stated that we ar£ like the elder son, stubborn Christians. He also encouraged brotherly love and altruism among church mem bers. Our Sabbath school is also progressing nicely. Since com ing to this town as pnncipal of the Graded School and Superin tendent of the Sabbath school we have added a large and ap preciable number to the Sabbath school. Even though we are few in number, and sometimes discouraged, when we consider for a moment, we realize that the God of heaven still lives and watches over this little flock. We trust that friends will pray that we too may increase in num ber and continue doing' great work-for God. W. R. Mayberry. . EMANCIPATION* DAY CELE BRATION AT FAYETTE VILLE.

New York.—Quietness and a certain amount of irregularity in the financial markets during the past week offered a contrast to the encouraging charac^-> ter of reports from industrial and trade centers. The causes of the ir regularity were not difficult to find. For one thing, the situation in the Ruhr valley still acted as a brake on speculative enthusiasm, although the market displayed a calmness in the face of alarmist rumors that testified to admonishing, susceptibility to things of that sort; It also appeared that the security markets had entered into something of a resting period, fh'o Affaefd rv# fit a aovIv Tonna rv rfiiH* vestment demand having passe the unusually large volume capital issues having taken off the bond market being. ^ Trade reports are distinct] ful.
