The town is situated on the eastern tip of South Africa. It is one of the safest harbors in the world. They have every modern device for unload- ‘ ing the ships.

The question is asked: Do we need a colored newspaper in Port land? Do we? Let us see. The oth er day we were talking to a colored cltixen about subscribing for The Ad vocate. and he said: “O. I take about all the papers in Portland.’’ Then we reminded him that The Advocate was the only colored newspaper in the state. He then said that be meant the “Journal. Telegram and News" “Well, wouldn’t you like to read our paper, too?” we asked. He replied that he would “see about It.” and added he would like to put an adver tisement in The Advocate, as be had some rooms to rent. We took his ad.. but wondered why he did not give it to “about aU the newspapers in Portland." The reason is obvious. He knew custom required him. a col ored man. to rent his rooms to col ored people. He knew colored people would not likely look for his room advertisement in white newspaper*. This is a type of which we have many who do not need the colored newapaper. Then there Is another type of col ored people who will not support the paper because they don’t read “little old Negro papers." But when they are down and out. they go to the col ored newspaper editor or manager to solicit his aid in helping them to get employment. They believe because of the editor's position in the com munity. he is better able to help him in this respect than any other class or individual. Again, we hare the society type who do not find their colored newspaper necessary until they pull off some big stunt for which they would like a little publicity for the benefit of the folk “back east.” There are so many others, but these are the most prevalent. The white people are just the same We know of business men and wo men who call the editor or manager whenever they want to know some thing of the rating or standing of colored people with whom they are negotiating a deal, or to locate some colored person who owes them money and of whom they have lost trace. But please don't ask these people to advertise in the columns of the col ored newspaper—they are confining their advertising to the “dailies.’’ Thia type doesn't need the newspa per. but need the newspaper editor and manager very frequently. Then there la the white houaewife who calls the colored newspaper to get her a maid or to get the pedigree of a colored man or woman she Is about to hire. She will take up hours of time, never offering to pay for same. If you ask her to advertise In or subscribe for the paper, she Isn’t very interested. But of course the newspaper must be Interested in her household to the tune of several hours and sometimes days loot. Do you need us, colored people? Do you need us. white people? It ao. let us know in some tangible way —with something we may be able to pay tbe printer’s bill*. 1 pastor will preach next Holiday morn ing and evvtilug.

May , it stay there—‘in the ocean”. There are three other modern streets, by saying modern. I only mean these are paved with asphalt. The immediate city also has good streets according to which district i they are in. District Six has cobble stone*. Well, so much for the city, we now know it to be a modern city. We should now learn something of our forefathers, the Zulus, for they were about two-thlrds ot the slaves brought into this country. The Zu- ' lus are a fierce, war-like tribe. Inhab- . itlng the territory northwest of Cape i Town. No white man has ever been at the Zulu's lands. They may get so far. but the farther they go. the more fierce the natives are. Some of tb< Zulus come Into town to work a few months of the year, but spend th< greater part of the year with the tribe. They work by contract through the government. Many of the younger generation often marry while in town. If they do not return tp the tribe, they live in District Six. District Six is the Colored district. Here we have the mixed Negro, I mainly from the Immigration of the Dutch, Portuguese and English. If one were ta go into this District he would find tbe same environment so cially, but the physical appearances are different; with their narrow cob blestone streets and two-story houses | with large balconies fronting the | streets they present an exact dupli cate of old Egypt. The Colored are all tradesmen. They have their labor unions and a* a general rule are a very industrious and thrifty people. HELL IN THE MAKING Tbe newly appointed pastor of a Negro church faced a packed au dience when he arose to deliver his sermon on this burning question: “I* there a Hell?” “Bredern.” he said, “de Lord made the world round like a ball.” “Amen!” agreed the congregation. "And de Lord made two axle* for de world to go around on. and He put one axle at the north pole and one axle at the souf pole.” "Amen!” cried the congregation. "And then a lot of sinners dig wells in Pennsylvania and steal de Lord's oil and grease. And they dig well* in Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas and Mexico and Russia, and steal the Lord's oil and grease. "And some day dey will have all of de Ixrrd's oil and grease, and dem axles la gonna git hot. An den, dat will be hell, bredern, dat will be hell. —Philadelphia Public Ledger. 1« YEAR OLD LAD PASSES Jack Davidson. 1< year old son of Mr. and Mr*.
