ence Sunday Evening.
Urge Number of White People of City
Oat To Hear Noted Leader, of the Col
ored Race Urged His People To Pat
Skill Into Whatever Work They Were
Engaged in and to Aake Themselves
Worthy of Their Hire His Doctrine
Is Work, Honesty, Integrity and Re
ligionHeartily Welcomed to City.
Dr Booker T. Washington, the noted
orator and leader of the colored 'race,
and president of Tnskeegee Institute,
was greeted at the Auditorium on Sun
dav evening by an audience of more
than 2500 people. There were hundreds
of white people present, and they were
imon the leading men and women of
Tireensboro. too, besides many visitors.
The meeting was presided over by
George H. Mitchell, president of the Col
ored Business Men's League and other
prominent leaders of the negro race.
Hon. T.. J. Justice introduced the
speaker in a speech that was listened to
with intense interest. He spoke of Dr.
Washington's work in the South and
what it was his aim to accomplish. And
when Dr. Washington arose he said that
if he should -speak all night he could
to nothing more than enlarge upon what
Mr. Justice had already said.
Booker T, Washington ia great in that
he has adopted ilie only; true and safe
method of teaafinff-his Teer&. Hla dex
trine is work, honesty; integrity, clean
liness, and religion. He spoke for more
than an hoir, and there was wisdom
and practical common sense in every
word he uttered.
He said his reason for coming to
Oreensboro was to learn the conditions
of his people and how best to serve them
a'nd to cement the relationship between
the black man and the white man. Tie
'aid that his people were laboring under
disadvantages, largely for the reason
'hat the outside world was too ready to
iudcre the race not by the good deeds
done among them, but by the wickedness
of the lawless class; that the good was
not heralded, but that when one of them
"ommitted crime, it was too often used
to bring reproach upon the negro as a
e. He said that he found people in
Kuropo who had an idea that white peo
in the South lynched negroes for
rasttime,. but that in faet,v the negro
Tas a well or better treated in the
?outh than anywhere, and declared that
would not live anywhere else. In
deed, should the negro go elsewhere, he
ould not stay; and even if he desired
t live elsewhere, the white people
onld not let him.
He urged his people to work, and to
m kill into what they did; that the
day nf shiftless methods was past, and
tat whether one of them was employed
I orw,k. to farm, to run a barber shop

FIRE SUNDAY MORNING.
Slight Blaze At the Moravian Church
Prompt Work by Firemen.
The Moravian church on Lee street
was slightly damaged by fire Sunday
morning shortly after the heating plant
was started up for the day. Three fire
companies responded to box No. 53, and
found a blaze on the front part of the
roof near the furnace chimney. Though
not of much consequence it was in a
fair way to spread rapidly. The great
est damage came from water thrown on
the fire. It is not known whether th3
fire originated from a defect in the flue
or a falling spark. An inspector had
gone over the entire heating arrange
ment the evening before and passed upon
its first class condition for use during
the winter. The congregation met : with

GREENSBORO, N C, TUESDAY
CENTENARY PHILATHEAS.
After Business -Meeting Last Night the
Young Ladies Celebrated Hallowe'en.
Prepared For The Telegram.
The most enjoyable and unique meet
ing of the Philathea class of Centenary
church was held last night at the home
of Mrs. C. C. Townsend, Arlington Btreet.
The business meeting was of short du
ration and the social committee then
took charge.
Miss Sallie Embrey, chairman of the
social committee, and her most efficient
assistants had planned a most appropri
ate and elaborate program, the occasion
being that of All Hallowe'en night, when
ghosts and spooks and. goblins, held
their revels. The house had been most
suitably decorated, with ferns and cut,
flowers, and "jack-olanterns galore. Mrs.
Townsend in her usual hospitable man
ner had given oyer her horns, for the
time being, to this most excellent band
of young ladies and they in turn show
ed their appreciation of her goodness by
enjoying the occasion immensely. The
front hall was dimly lighted with can
dles and Jack-CLanterns and there, the
receiving line, consisting of two spooks,
welcomed each guest with cold, clammy
hands and doleful remarks. Much mer
riment was created by fortune telling
in various ways. In following the mys
terious threads of fortune many of the
young ladies were led into the yard and
back again through dark piazzas, only
to find the ever present black cat. Cof
fee and cream was- served by minature
ghosts with the solmen injunction to
"drink and be wise."
Afterwards we were invited into the
dining room, where a most delicious
salad course was served. Each one hav
ing been served, all assembled in the hall
where thrilling and blood curdling ghost
stories were told by the whiterobed
spooks.
At a late hour the crowd dispersed
voting this the very best meeting of
all. .

HENRI DUNANT DEAD.
Noted Founder of Red Cross Society
Passes Away.
Geneva, Switzerland, Oct. 31. Henri
Dunant, founder of the International
Red Cross Society, died last night at
Neiden, a health resort.
Henri Dunant was of Swiss birth and
lived in Geneva. At the battle of Solf
erino June 24, 1859,- he witnessed the
needless suffering and loss of life result
ing from days of neglect to care for the
wounded. Realizing that such condi
tions need not exist he conceived the
idea of pledging the nations of the earth
to guard and protect as neutral all sick
and wounded combatants and all per
sons giving them succor. He elaborated
his idea and through the co-operation of
the Swiss federal council brought about
an international conference at Geneva
in October, 1863. Sixteen governments
were represented.
A uniform flag made of a red cross on
a white ground was adopted as a com
pliment to the Swiss confederation,
whose national flag is the reverse.
Monthly Report of Hospital.
The monthly report of St. Leo's hos
pital shows that during the month of
October eighty-two patients were receiv
ed, sixty-four being discharged. Nine
teen of the number were charity pa
tients. There were two deaths and two
births. Forty six patients are now in
the hospital, all of them doing nicely.
Fire Sunday Evening.
An alarm from box 52 Sunday evening
at 6 o'clock called the firemen to the
residence of Mr. Troxler, West Lee
street. The blaze was extinguished be
fore the firemen arrived, the damage be
ing slight.
Only Sixty-Seven Cases.
During the month of October there
were sixty-seven cases tried in Municipal
court and nearly all were for trifling of
fenses. There were only a few drunks.
The reception committee of the Sted
man Democratic Club are requested to

China Portrayed, by Word and Stereoptf
con Slide At West Market Last Right.
rMr. Cameron Johnson Tells of Great
Work Being Done in That Country
Will Lecture On Japan Tonight Hert -Under
Auspices of Laymen'a tSore
ment.
Last night in the main auditorium c
West Market Street Methodist churoll
Mr. Cameron Johnson gave his celebrat
ed illustrated lecture in China. A good
sized and thoroughly appreciative audi
ence was present andthe lecture was de
clared by many to have been the bett
of the kind they had ever heard, the
views being especially fine. Mr. Johsson
who comes here under the auspices ef
the Laymen's Missionary Movement for
the purpose of giving to the people facta '
regarding the foreign mission lands, haa
spent many years in the heathen lands.
and many of the slides are from nega
tives made by himself. Therefore Ma
lecture is all the more realistic and en
tertaining, besides being highly educa
tional. Fully two hundred slides, showing dif
f erent scenes in China, the missionaries
and their helpers, were thrown upon th&
canvas, Mr. Johnson having-an interest
ing sentence regarding each. He spokftt
of the work being done and the workj
there is to be done, each thought being
impressed deeper by the illustration ae .
companying it. An interesting slide wasx,
one showing wthat the population j ot
China, is 426,(K)0jD0O.. Laboring" 'amongf
L20Q native ; helpers. There" are? 4,867
stations and 685,000 Christians in tbe
country. Truly, he said, the harvest i -great
but the laborers are few.
Another slide that carried food for ,
thought was one showing a number of
missionaries who have spent, more than
half a century in the foreign fields, some,
of them having lived in China for 58
years. '
. Tonight Mr. Johnson will lecture on
Japan and he stated that the pictures
would be even better than those last
night, if such could be possible.
As stated above Mr. Johnson is hertk
under the auspices of the Laymen's
Movement and people of all denomina
tions are cordially invited to hear him. -There
is no admission fee, but a, silver
offering will be taken and everybody will
be invited to participate in this. It was -at
first intended to have the lectures in
the new annex, but as the heating plant,
has not been completed and as it waa.,
too cold to do without heat, the meet
ing place was changed to the main audi
torium so all could be made comfortable.
Wednesday night Mr. Johnson will lec-
ture on Korea and on Thursday night bo
will speak on India.
Sunday morning Mr. Johnson spek.4
to the Sunday school of Westminster
Presbyterian church and on Sudajp
night he spoke before the congregation
of Grace M. P. church. Both talks wer
greatly enjoyed.
To The Public:
After hearing the lecture of Mr. Cam
eron Johnson and seeing the beautiful
pictures taken by him while in China
we feel it our duty to express our ap
preciation of the wonderful work be ifll ,
doing and call attention to the fact!
that this is the finest illustrated lecturav
ever given in Greensboro. Hearing Mr
Johnson .and seeing these stereopticon
views is the next thing to visiting thja
Orient.
Tonight Mr. Johnson will lecture
Japan and those interested in the cue-
toms of that beautiful eastern countrj;
should by all means avail themselves
this rare opportunity.
Wednesday and Thursday nights' will.;
be devoted ta Korea and India. Theaei
lectures will be in West Market Street
Methodist church and not in the annex;
as was first thought.
There will be no admission fee, but v
an offering will be , taken to defray the
expenses.
