Athens Republique

Capt. C. D. Flanigan Prince Ave . The Athens Republique Devoted to the Religious, the Educational, and the Industrial Development of the Colored Race Official Organ for the Jeruel Baptist Association Vol. III. ATHENS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922 No. 52 (By The Associated Negro Press) Newark, N. J. Nov. 7-Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, and Harry Wills have been matched for a 12-round come together here sometime around Thanksgiving Day, it was learned last Monday. Before a definite date can be set Johnson will have to dispose of a little personal matter with the State boxing commission. Some years ago the exchampion was barred from appearing in this State as well as several others after he ran afoul of the Mann act. However, since Johnson has expiated his crime and there is a general movement to let up on him it is believed that the commission will lift the ban and put its stamp of approval on the bout. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL NOT WANTED Montgomery, Ala. Nov. 7—The Roosevelt memorial tree planted on the Alabama capitol lawn by the Boy Scouts last Friday, mysteriously disappeared Thursday night of this week, and in its place the night watchman found a note typewritten which read: "Montgomery, Ala.,-Get this Alabama: "To all concerned: "The Daughters of the Confer- eracy are our mothers (war mothers) and this is the south. There are no trees in honor of Southern Gentiemen in the capitol yard at Washington, and our war mothers do not wont this one here." YELLOW PERIL NOT ABATED Chicago, Ill., Nov. 7—The next war will find the yellow race wiping out the white with powerful gasses and superfeveloped airplanes unless western civilization unites to nip all war plans in the bud. Will Irwin, author and lecturer, said in an address before the Service Star. League Convention here. 'The world war brought three great development," said Mr. Irwin. "First, it brought brains into the work of killing men. Second, it abrogated the code of civilized warfare, during away with the man to man fair fight and substituting the nation and nation catch as catcq can warfare. Third, it developed a !gun! which now nas a 400-mile range—this !gun! being the modern, wireless-steered airplane. "These things, with the pcwerful new gasses, which kill on contact, mean that in the next war the infantryman will have little in the way of firearms. Instead he will carry a gas grenade. "They mean that even a halfway successful attack on any city New York, for example—would wipe out all form of life within twenty-four hours. "I don't think the next war will come before a generation, but it is coming surely, unless the civilized nations unite against war. "When it does come, it will be east against wast-Japan and the other yellow race against white civilization." KLANMEM "GO ON FOREVER" Wichita, Kans., Nov. 7—A letter of intimidation, written on a letterhead purporting to be the official stationery of the. Ku Klux Klan, was received by W. A. Bettis, editor of the WICHITA PROTEST here. The letter, which was unsigned, failed to intimidate Bettis, who says that it will not effect his stand in any way. The letter was written under the following letter head: "The Most Sublime, in All History, Commemorating and Perpetuating As It Does the Most Dauntless Organization Known to Man." IMPERIAL PALACE Invisible Empire KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN Department of Propagation, Realm of Kansas. The letter follows; 2 W. A. Bettis, "Wichita, Kansas. "We advise you to beware. You are continuously publishing unwarranted attacks on the Invisible Empire, the most dauntless Organization known to man. "Take heed and govern yourself accordingly. KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN Here today, yesterday, and forever. "Dated on this the 25th day of the 10th month of the year of our Lord 1922 and on the Drerdful Day of the Weeping Week of the Mournful Month of the Year of the Klan LVI." Knox Defeats High School 41---0 Knox Defeats High School 41---0 On Friday afternoon, Nov. 3d, the Athens High and Industrial School met her arch enemy, the Knox Institute aggregation, on the Chase Street Park gridiron. The air was balmy and the soil perfectly dry; so that all nature tended to make the game entirely possible. The High School children took a stand on the west side of "stage of action." While immediately east of them was the large Knox delegation with banners waving and colors flying. At four o'clock Dr. B. L. Jackson and Mr. Henry Pinkard compared their watches: the game was called. Events were brief in the first half, and the agile Athens Highs seemed to be a pretty good match for the Knox men. But in the beginning of the second "semester" the Knox skill together with the superior weight of her THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE men began to assert itself. All through the last half however, the light weight Athens Highs put up a gallant fight for their sporting honor and to save the tender hearts of the young lassies—class mates and comrades—who came to cheer them and would see them win. The Knox soon became successful, in working the college tricks that their coach, Mr. W. L. Burnett, and assistant Coach, Mr. W.C. Brunt, had taught them; and about mid-way the last half they made a touch-down as often as they cared to. The time-keepers were lost with wild enthusiasm as the "Tigers" crossed one goal after the other, and thus permitted the game to continue fully fifteen too long. At dusk when nature was turning against them the game was called with Knox claiming 41 points, and the Knightly little High School eleven "snowed under" but heads upright ready to advance again at the first opportunity. WOMAN'S PARTY INSTITUE "BEST LAWS" Washington, D. C. Nov. - 6 A series of "best laws" dealing with all women's subjects, including marriage, divorce, guardship of children, wives, property rights, jury service, and women in industry is now being drafted by the legislative department of the National Woman's party for presentation to all state legislatures. These laws taken from actual laws now inforce in one or more states, will be presented to the party conference of state and national officers in Washington on Nov. 11 and 12. November 11. 1922 If endorsed, the state branches of the party will be authorized to campaign for their passage at the next meeting of state legislatures. Miss Maud Younger, legislative chairman of the Woman's party, in announcing this new proposal, said: "The purpose of the new plan is to make our campaign not only a negative one, removing discriminations against women from our laws, but also a positive one, substituting the highest form of equality. "For instance, one of the best laws in the country on illegitimacy is that of North Dakota, where illegitimacy has been abolished. "One of the best laws on 'support' is that of Louisiana, where the law states that husband and wife pledge to each other mutual fidelity, aid, and assistance. "One of the best laws on alimony is that of Ohio, where husband or wife may receive alimony from the other. "One of the best laws on dower and courtesy is in Virginia, where each was made equal. In other states there are good inheritance laws, good guardianship laws, good laws as to jury service, and equal protection for men and women workers." ANNOUNCEMENT A surprise to her friends will be the news of the quiet marriage of Mrs. Eula B. Howard to Mr. David B. Barrow, which took place in Atlanta. Ga., Tuesday night July 25, 1922. The impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. Williams, the pastor of cosmopolitan A. M. E. Church, she is expecting to make Atlanta her home. Now we wish her a long, happy life.

Nov. 6,—Henry Kendrick, aged 25, Negro laborer, plowing on Lionel Duke's farm in South Christian, unearthed a glass jar containing 568 gold dollar pieces, minted from 1840 to 1865. He sold his interest to John Boyd, lessee of the farm, for $200. Kendrick came here and bought a second-hand automobile, returning home Friday night. He ran over Herbert Johnson, aged 40, a farmer and world war veteran, crushing the latter's right leg. Johnson's leg was amputated at a local hospital. Kendrick was accompanied by Richard Boyd, aged 12, son of the lessee of Lionel Duke's farm, when he plowed up the jar. He turned over the jar to Boyd, his employer and signed a quit claim on the money for the $200. There is said to be a high premium on some of the coins. The gold was evidently buried shortly after the civil war. There is no clue to the original owner. Outlook Brightens For Cotton Growers (By The Associated Negro Press) Galveston, Texas.
