Members Of Portland Baptist Church Progressive And Public Spirited The editor spoke at the Portland Baptist Church of which Rev. W. P. Offutt is pastor, last Sunday morning, in the interest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for the support of the important cases now before the local branch.

REV. W. P. OFFUTT
Rev. Offut who is also the president of the N. A. A. C. P., had rendered the church and that community an inestimable service during his four years as pastor. Over 200 members have been added and over $10,000 raised, all given over the table. For some time the church has raised its finance without entertainments. Rev. Offutt's call and acceptance as pastor of the State Street Baptist Church at Bowling Green is regretted by his members and friends and the citizens as a whole. He is to be succeeded, however, by another fine young minister, the Rev. B. F. Reid. During the pastorate of Rev. Offutt, the Portland Improvemnet Association, an organization for the social and civic betterment of the people was formed. This Association has a savings department which is associated with the Mutual Savings Association and the Mammoth Realty Company. A meeting is held every Monday and dues are collected and deposited running from ten to one hundred dollars per week. Since organizing, the Association has succeeded in encouraging and assisting its members in saving and buying considerable property. Albert Hansbrough is President; W. W. Reed, Secretary; Eugene Barrett, Treasurer, and J. C. Ransom, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Memorial Commission Asks Citizens to Vote "Yes"
Without question one of the greatest assets to the life and progress of Louisville will be the erection of a beautiful Memorial Auditorium in honor of the Louisville World War heroes, a tribute to white and black boys who journey across the waters in defense of democracy. This is the aim of the Louisville Memorial Commission which has the program in hand and is urging the support of the Memorial Auditorium Bonds which will be voted upon at the polls November 7th. In a circular appeal, the Commission adds "Two years ago, while the [achievements?] of Louisville war heroes were still fresh in our memory, public spirited citizens to the number of sixteen thousand subscriber $200,000 to a fund for our war memorial. A fund of $270,000 raised by Louisville citizens for a public auditorium will be added to this making $475,000 available, in view of the decision to combine the auditorium and the memorial. Today passage of the $750,000 bond issues will complete a fund of 1,250,000 for the memorial auditorium" In connections with considering it is a debt to war heroes, the commission points to a magnificent building that all citizens of Louisville can point to with pride and say, "That is our Memorial Auditorium", a lace for municipal concerts, great national conventions and many other civic and public gatherings. With the [Commission?] one hundred citizens formed into a committee are [cooperating?] in every possible way to make the Memorial Auditorium program a success. On the committee are, the following colored men: Rev. E. G. Harris, Dr. C. H. Parrish, Dr. Jas. Bond, Dr. Wilson Ballard, Messrs H. E. Hall, Wm. Warley and I. Willis Cole. Mr. Robert H.

Attorney Bonner In It Again As Attorney D.J. Bonner attempts to clear himself before the public of charges brought against him before Judge Field a few days ago, which culminated in his losing his rights to practice in the courts of Jefferson County for one year, other allegations are brought against him before the same Judge. Charges were issued againstMr. Bonner Tuesday by Attorney Bernard Bailey, wh o has been active in prosecuting cases against magistrates who have been charged with alleged illegal practice. One Mrs Georgia Davis claims, in the charge of Bailey, that during last month she employed Mr. Bonner as counsel to get her husband, George Davis, out of jail.

NEW YORK WORLD URGES ACTION IN SPECIAL SESSION
Editor Warley Sues Scales For $10,000
Mr. Wm. Warley, the editor of the Louisville News, thru his attorney, Al A. Andrews instituted a suit against J. H. Scales, Secretary of the Republican organization. Thursday for $10,000.00. Mr. Warley alleges assault, abuse and undue humiliation in his position. It will be rembered that on the night of June 14, while Warley was at his telephone, the Republican boss of the colored workers, seemingly in a drunken condition walked into Warley's office and began abusing him and then struck him in the face. Scales was accompanied by another white man, and four officers were near on the outside. It is the concensus of opinion that Mr. Warley was attacked by Scales because he had exercised his right in criticizing the Republican party in its attitude toward the Negro. Mr. Warley's paper had never made any attack on Scales or printed anything about him. Other scandals in which he has been involved recently, however, put him squarely before the public thru the publicity of the daily newspapers.

THE WORLDS FAMOUS WILLIAMS' SINGERS BACK AGAIN ABSENCE OF TWO YEARS The World Famous Williams' Singers are to be with us again, after an absence of two years. Without question this is the greatest aggregation of colored artists to be found anywhere. They have traveled the world over, appeared before kings and queens and we can add little to what has been said by others and reprinted in columns of this issue. The Williams' Singers appeared here two years ago at Broadway Temple and white and black crowded the large auditorium, more than three hundred were turned away at the door. The daily newspaper representatives were there and spoke in the highest praise of this great harmonizing octette thru the columns of their papers. These artists, with a complete new program of high class selections will appear at Quinn Chapel Thursday evening, November 2nd. We advise our readers to avoid the rush, or possibility ot missing the opportunity of missing this rare treat by arranging for tickets before the night of their performance.
