WE-HELP BUILD BUSINESS Northern College Authorities Say Alumni Have Asked Them To Limit BRUNONIAN SILENT Providence, R. I., April 21.—(Special) Brown University is making strenuous efforts to limit the number of Jewish and Negro students in that institution. This information was volunteered by the authorities of the University last week when officials of one of the colored intercollegiate fraternities made application to set up a chapter 'at Brown. The application was denied on the ground that the University authorities had recently refused a similar application and that the alumni of the institution had requested the faculty to limit the number of Jews and Negroes admitted to the institution. When it was explained that colored students were not eligible for white fraternities and should, therefore be permitted to form one of their own, University authorities plotted out that the college is now enduring a drive for $35,000,000 funding fund. If we permit it to be made public that Brown University is allowing a colored fraternity to get up a chapter here alumni will hesitate to give freely to the campaign, they declined. Asked by the AFRO-AMERICAN asked it thought of limiting the number of colored students the Brumonian, the college daily, has so far refused to make any statement. WIN $100,000 ESTATE N. C.

ALLE ES A NURSES HOME TARGET FOR A CHICAGO BOMB Several Women Hurt When Whites Plant Explosive In Hallway And Flee POLICE AT SEA Authorities Say They Are Unable To Come Up With Perpetrators Chicago, Ill., April 27.—Whom will the bombers get next? This is the question all Chicago is asking following the explosion of a black powder bomb in the hallway of the home for nurses of Ft. Dearborn Hospital, Monday night. Several of the score of nurses in the building at the time were slightly injured by falling pictures and glass following the explosion which shook the entire block. Windows In the nurses' home and the adjoining houses were completely shattered. White men who threw the bomb are said to have escaped in an automobile and have not been apprehended. The feeling is that there are agents of an Improvement Association, which is striving to enlighten people out of the neighborhood. For the past two years bombing outrages have startled the edges of the Chicago "black belt." In almost every case white men have thrown the bombs from automobiles and then sned hastily away. Two weeks ago the head of Tx. Alderman Oscar O'Connor of 3815erman were bombed and damaged to the extent of $2000 The home of Jessa Binga, president of Binga State a Bnk, has also been twice bombed.

FIRST CHURCH MUST ELECT PASTOR AGAIN Court Declares Call Issued To Rev. J. Albert Greene Recently Is Not Legal FORGOT NOTICES Church Clerk Failed To Notify Members Of Election Rev. Albert Greene is not the lawful pastor of the First Baptist Church, Caroline and McElderry streets. This in brief was the decision of Judge Stump, in Circuit Court No. 2 on Tuesday. Judge Stump did not issue a decree, but simply advised the deacons and trustees of the First Church to hold an election within a reasonable time, or else the Court will take the matter into its own hands. Last February, Walter Alston, William Stewart, Frank Jones, Cephas Allen, Randolph Strickland secured an inflection against the trustees and deacons of the church, and the new pastor, Rev. Mr. Greene, restraining the latter from taking charge of the church. Testimony at the hearing this week which lasted Monday and Tuesday, brought out the fact that the meeting of the First Church to call a pastor was held Oct. 31, 1920. As required by the charter of 1837, notice of meeting was given when weeks in advance. Greene was no election however, for Rev. Mr. Greene did not secure a 2-3 majority of the members' voting. On November 4th, the second meeting of the church was held without due notice having been given and a call was extended to Rev. Mr. Greene, who was then pastoring the Second Baptist Church in Harrisburg. Judge Stump ruled that the lack of notice was sufficient to make the election illegal and costs of proceedings must be paid by the church. John W. Jones, of the leading members of the church and moderator at the meeting, told a representative of the AFRO-MDRICAN that the church officials had not decided whether to have a new election or appeal the case. "The case might have happened to any one," he said. "the church clerk neglected to send out the proper notices." WINS FELLOWSHIP AT HARVARD New Orleans, La.—William L.

In the graveyard softly sleeping Where the flowers gently wave. Lies my dearest little Elva Waiting all alone for me. Since that time death has robbed me of my husband, George Custis, who died just four months ago. He fell asleep in Jesus, December 1, 1929. And oh, what a loss to me, but a gain to him. He seems dark and dreary to me. Home is not like it used to be, since you both have left me alone without any relatives. But I cast my care on Jesus and never forget to pray to him. Of all the months in the life, May and June are the sadest. How can I forget you dear husband who was so kind and true to me. Dear is the grave where my husband is laid. By their wife and mother.

I have recently visited the last, and those minor忧患s out of surely drinking of the bitter cup. Some are many miles from their home and have no one to show them a kindly glance of friendly reunion. The churches in their mad stampeed for money have neglected the poor and needy in our city by inviting inmates of Bayview need help. Churches of Baltimore will you help them? Why not designate Sunday School in Bayview, which all churches shall have a special contribution for the relief of the sick and needy at Bayview. Don't be surprised, as many of your friends. When I was sick you didn't come to see me. The unfortunates out there are very badly mistreated. They are just living to keep from dying. Friends of humanity will Bayview.

Pan-African Congress LOCAL MEN GOING Dr. DuBois Outlines Plans And Predicts Renaissance Of Negro Culture Probably twenty-five nations are to be represented by the second Pan-African Congress which is to have sessions next fall in three foreign capitals, according to announcement made today at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Dr. F. E. B. DuBois, who was a member of the offices of the Association, speaking the Secretary of the Congress made public the following statement about the Congress: "At the invitation of two Secretaries of the Palais Mondial in Brussels, Senator Henri Lafontaine of Belgium and Paul Otlet, also of Belgium, who is popularly known as the 'father of the League of Nations', the Second Pan-African Congress will hold one of its sessions in the city of Brussels, the Congress will open with a preliminary conference in Angola on August 28 and 29, at which there will be a meeting with representatives of the Aborigines Protection Society, the London Missionary Society, the British Labor Party, the West India Committee and organizations of Negroes, like the African Progress Union. This is to be followed by a three-day session in Brussels, on August 31 and September 1 and 2. Here delegates from the following regions are to be heard: French West Africa, British West Africa, South Africa, West Africa, South Africa, the Sudan, the English and French West Indies, Guiana, Haiti and the United States. FINAL SESSION IN PARIS "At the final session of the Pan-African Congress which is to be held in Paris on September 4 and 5, there will be appointed a grand committee representing, colored people of the world, to wait upon the representatives of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Plans are also to be completed for a permanent committee for the Pan-African Congress. OBJECTS OF CONGRESS "The objects of the Pan-African Congress are not a particular propaganda, or scheme of migration. They are simply to afford opportunity to the leaders of various groups of colored people throughout the world to make contacts. The Congress is to be a meeting of representatives chosen by organization of colored people. Rev. Geo. H. Nicholson presided the Silver Spring Social Auxiliaries at Pennsylvania Avenue Zion Church, Sunday night. TREES DONATED TO CHURCH Mr. and Mrs. Jno. T. Baker of 1294 Drulid Hill avenue donated six fir trees to Bethel A. M. E. Church at Lanvale and Drulid Hill avenue. SAYS ARTICLE DID NOT DO MRS. PENN JUSTICE To the Editor: I beg the privilege of correcting so much misleading statements in your report of the trial of Penn in the "Observer", appearing in your columns of last week. Our complaint is not so much against the content of facts as against the manner in which they are given, making it entirely possible for your readers to get a false impression of the whole matter. To begin with your headlines give a wrong impression which the actual article confirms rather than otherwise. It reads: "Doctor's wife did stop at white Y. W., nevertheless prominent society," he wrote, as though stopping at the Y. W. was the gravamen of the Observer's libel. The fact is that Mrs. Penn did stop at the J. W. in the white people, and most in the white people, but where it was not unusual for colored people to stop who couldn't "pass" as the language of the street would put it in their own hands; this connection does not help the situation any-. Statements from the libelous article appearing in the "Observer" are put in such shape, as to be offered at the trial to this effect. The truth is that nothing of the kind was done. Mrs. Penn in her direct examination admitted that she was offered at the trial by her counsel and not while under cross examination admitted stopping at the Y. W. C. A. and as frankly as she admitted that she had been denied that she had ever been in any of the New York hostilities, the McAlpin, Murrays or any others that do not cater to her claim, had not claimed as stated, either in the original article, nor in the pleadings and testimony in the case, that she was guilty of inducing the wife of a prominent New Yorker". Equally unfortunate and misleading was the statement that "the name of Mrs. Weir had no access to the wife of the person who had accompanied the Washington woman to the swell Hotel McAlpin", because nothing of the kind was referred to in the testimony of the person at the trial. It may be appropriate to say in conclusion that the editors of the "Observer" plead justification as their defense for the publication of the libel on Mrs. Penn, and that under this plea it may be upheld upon the evidence the truth of allegations. This they signally failed to do. They put but one witness on the stand, one of the defendants and he had no knowledge whatever of the alleged facts upon which the libellous article was found. And the judge, in the instruction of the Court, there was nothing else for the Jury to do except to bring in a verdict for the plaintiff. THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN THER REP throughout the world.

THEATRE JOTS A Weekly Review BY WILLIAM E. READY THE NEW LINCOLN Wooden's Bon Ton Musical Comedy Company are back again at the New Lincoln the week. This inauguration of senior players made the round of the local "corridor" some two or three months ago and the fact that they are back again is proof positive. The team is also capable of depending on them are meeting with the same pleasing reception that they received on the occasion of their first appearance in our most. The attraction of paramount interest to engage the attention of the coach prologue and behind him, making him a frequent member of this house, was the announcement that on Tuesday, "The Matchless Key" the first serial production ever produced by a Negro film corporation and featuring an alt-Negro cast, would begin with the first episode. Thus it was with keen expectancy that these enthusiasts crowded into the Lincoln on last Tuesday. Then they were drawn to a measure of disappointment for while an attempt was made to show the picture, the photography was so poor that it was impossible R FIRST RUN PICTURE SEE T WEEK BEGINNING Monday—Goldwyn Distri The Greatest Animal "THE REVENGE" This picture contains great fai you spell-bound.

THE CAREY The Carey management has hit the "bully-age" again for on Monday coming, they have secured "East Lynne" that classic story of mother love which for years has been the favorite novel of millions. But many backpacks of tears have been shed in sympathy with Lady Label—isn't that her name, girls?—who having found her dream of love shattered, returns to her home and in disguise, nurse her children. back to health again. If I am "mixed up" on the story, ladies I am sure you will excuse me, as I quote entirely from boyhood memory. As an antidote for "East Lymne" on the same day "The Ghost Hunt" a 2 red comedy featuring an all-colored cast will be shown. This latter is a production of the Charles Hobman White Film Corporation. THE NEW RAINBOW Everyone remembers "While New York Sleeps." This picture is made by the same people and it is just as good. It is very mysterious and you will be spell-bound when you see the "Face at Your Window." This is a Japanese picture containing plenty of thrills.

ALSO "FANTOMAS" 12 COMEDY AND NEWS THE NEW REGENT This week Higgins is on the stage almost constantly, and for the entire time that he is before the audience he keeps it in an uproar of merriment. He is without doubt the best comedian that has appeared here this season. He is a man of fun, for financial reasons. Even his fellow-players find it hard to keep a straight face when in dialogue with him. Moreover, he has an admirable understanding of the requirements of the stage with other players, he "plays to them, and not to the audience and also has the good sense not to laugh at his own jokes, as is the habit of some would-be comedians. As for Miss Brooks, she is in very sense a flusser. In everyday of Monday evening by a slight cold, she spring a delightful surprise on her audience by dancing out one of her song numbers which literally "stopped the show" forcing her to respond to an encore and a half dozen "curtains." THE STAR less. Gonell White's Versatile company is in its third week at the Star, and standing room is as scarce now as it was during the first week. This company does not consist entirely of singers and dancers but its members embrace a wide range of mean ability, and they divide their efforts in an entertaining and pleasing manner. THE DUNGAR THE AFRO-AMERICAN WILL MARION COOK TALKS ABOUT EUROPE Famous Composer And Director Home From A Year's Trip Abroad TO ORGANIZE COMPANY Orchestra Of 35 Pieces, Troop Of 45 Stage Artists To Go Back With Him The Associated Negro Press New York, April, 27—Will Marion Cook, the famous composer and director, who has been abroad with his orchestra, and a singing act for over a year, returned to New York on the steamer Albania, arriving a short while ago. In an interview with J. A. Jackson of the Elliott Board he disclosed the fact that he is here for the purpose of organizing a company to be called "The Cotton Glossons," numbering 45 stage artists and a singing orchestra of 25 artists, who will present a unique production that is described by Mr. Cook as a comedy drama and music. One of London's leading theatrical magnates is promoting the project. Rehearsals will be conducted in New York and the completed organization will sail for England June 15 prepared to open in one of the leading theaters immediately after its arrival. Further details will be forthcoming when Mr. Cook will have closed some contracts with principals with whom he has entered negotiations. During the interview Mr. Cook described the circumstances surrounding colored artists in England and on the continent as being most favorable. Abbie Mitchell (the former wife of Mr. Cook) a once leading lady of the Lafayette Players, is starring an act in the London halls called "Full Harmonie." She is supported by a male quartet. The act runs 25 minutes and is a singing succession of complete stories of Negro music from primitive spiritualities to grand opera. Whaley & Scott, after being England's musical comedy favorites for several seasons, are now in the halls at a salary of 300 pounds a week. The versatile three, Duck Mills & Haston, are court favorites and a week rarely passes that they are not commuted to appear at a function for one of the royal family or one of the nobility. Louis Douglas and Sonny Jones, who went abroad as Belle Davis' Pickpinnies, are doing in dancing at enjoy steady work at a very high figure. A quartet known in America as the "Exposition Jubilee Four" is in London under the name of the "Royal Southern Singers," and are actually stopping the show at the Coliseum and the other big baths, Payne, Rossemond, Denny and Williams are the members of the act. bands are the members of the act. The five Red Devils are the prevailing sensation at the Folles Bergere in Paris, Opal Comper, Thompson, Elliott, Carpenter and Crayton are in the company. These with Cook's orchestra appearing in London, represent the big crashes in the music game aboard. There are probably three score or more of colored acts on the continent and their work has given them a more permanent place in public esteem than that of being a mervogue, Mr. Cook is most emphatic in stating that there is no sign of diminished interest in the performances of Negro artists, rather his commission to organize the big commission is cited as proof that the height of popularity is yet ahead. In fact, according to a feature story to the New York Sunday Tribune of March 20 no less important figures in the musical world than M. Ansermath, composer, and Igor Stravinsky have most emphatically endorsed what they term the American music of Cook's Southern Symphony Orchestra. The great Delmassey and Ravet, too have accorded them high praise. All of this bespeaks for the new and bigger production a most welcome reception when Mr. Cook has prepared them for European bow.

A committee representing the famous St. Mark's Lyman and allied organizations has been formed to Wadsworth of New York, and put to them, certain direct questions on their attitude of lynching, and the treatment of the black men. They carried with them, unknown to the senators at first an official photographer, who took a report of the entire conversation, and the mass meeting held in St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church on the evening of April 28. The senators, including the Johnson, chairman; Bonjamh, F. Thomas, and W. C. Holloway, with Miss Bessie Darden as Sto. grogmore. They also called upon the Coordinators and Representative Tinkhon. The oldest Colored religious organization in the District of Columbia is Ms. Zion Methodist Church, located in Charleston, 16th Rev. Albert J. Michel is the present pastor.

A. Anderson is again being consulted for the import of the books of New York. He has been known to say that he seeks nothing, but nevertheless he seems to have some very energetic advocacy against the import, there has become a bit of anxiety, but before the ink on this is cold, the President may have sent the name of one or two Colored states to the Senate to congratulate. There will be a goodly number of colored appointments, and while there may be protests from Democrats, public investigation by the Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that once the men are named by President Harding, they will be confirmed to be in a frame of need to dilly-dilly on the principles of justice.

Father Dorsey enjoys the distinction of being one of the less than a half dozen colored priests in the United States. Born in this city, he attended the public schools, winding up at the Colored High School when it was located in the old City Hall on Holiday street. Deserving of entering the Catholic priesthood he entered Epiphany Apostolic College at Walbrook, and later finished the theological course at St. Joseph's Seminary. Cardinal Gibbons ordained him at the Cathedral in 1902 and he said his first mass at St. Francis Navier Church, where he had been a boyhood communicant. It will remembered that Rev. J. J. Stutte, then head of the J. Josephine Order, delivered an address on the occasion, in which he sharply took issue with those who would circumscribe the Negro on account of prejudice. Following his ordination he did missionary work in the South for about a year. He went to St. Joseph's School, Montgomery, Ala., as prefect, leaving two years later to become assistant pastor at St. Peter's Church, Pine Bluff, Ark. Within a few months he became pastor, and stayed there until he was ordained in 1912 when he became pastor at St. Monica's Church he was again on the missionary field. His work here though done quietly, he has most effective, the parish having gone down after the death of Father A. B. Loeon, white. He is out early and late ministering to the needs of his parishers and the community in general. Father Dorsey enjoyed the confidence of Cardinal Gibbons and when a group of colored citizens raised a fine sum for St. Francis Academy recently he called on the priest to express his great appreciation of what had been accomplished by the academy, the confidence of other leaders of his church, as well as Protestants. He has an aged mother living in this city, as well a brother, C. Marcellus Dorsey. ```markdown ``` RATOGA STREET mont and Myrtle Aves. _____ New A Theatre WING MONDAY, MAY 2ND, 1921 T VAUDEVILLE HOUSE VANIA AV near Biddle Street 1 P. M. to 11:30 P. M.

THE OPPORTUNITY to purchase high grade securities on a price basis to return 7 or 8 percent is offered in the present SALE OF STOCK NOW BEING OFFERED IN THE DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORP. DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORP. E. C. BROWN, President CLARKE L. SMITH, Vice President AT $ 10 AT $10.00 PER AT $10.00 PER SHARE 7per cent participating Preferred The response made by the people of Baltimore to this unusual offer indicates their faith in the accomplishment of this huge undertaking and the ultimate benefits it will bring them in the way of dividends and profits HISTORY OF THE CITY The Douglass Theatre Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street. When the Half-Million Dollar Dunbar Theatre at Broad and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, opened last December, several of Baltimore's prominent citizens were present. All of them were very lavish in their praise of the beautiful theatre, and were all agreed that it was the handsomest theatre in the United States owned and controlled by colored people. And the request was made on that evening that a duplicate of the Dunbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore. The management at once began investigating conditions in Baltimore, and were quickly convinced that a first-class theatre in the "Monumental City" would be not only an asset to our people there, but would become a big money-maker from the very start. With that thought ever foremost, we began quietly looking for a suitable location for the theatre, and finally found what, in our opinion, is the best location for a colored theatre in the city. This site is on Pennsylvania Avenue between Lanvale Street and Lafayette Avenue. It is the desire of the company that the stock be distributed among a large number of investors, rather than be held by a few large buyers of securities, and for this reason the price of shares has been put at a price at which even the smallest investor may get in on this proposition. Colored theatres are no longer an experiment. In every city where a first-class theatre has been erected, success has attended the venture. The character of the performances which will come to the Douglass theatre will be of the same order as the attractions which have been playing in the Dunbar in Philadelphia and the Lafayette in New York with such wonderful success. Here is an opportunity for Baltimore colored people to cash in on the experience which has been gained in the operation of this now famous chain of colored theatres, which is constantly growing in number and importance throughout the country. The facts are here presented in a plain, simple manner. If you are interested in the development of the race along cultural lines, here is your opportunity to do your part in bringing about this condition. Invest in the Douglass Amusement Corporation stock, and help to make the Corporation a success and a distinct asset to the race. THE SITE—of this magnificent theatre (now in course of construction) is on Pennsylvania avenue between Lanvale street and Lafayette avenue, and is the best location for a building of this kind, anywhere in the city. THE GROUND was purchased for cash—there are no mortgages or ground rent—such is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as a theatrical money-maker and we have already commenced the building of the theatre. THIS THEATRE will cost four hundred thousand dollars($400,000) and will be as beautiful as the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia. THAT THE colored people of Baltimore may have the opportunity of having a theatre of their own, and at the same time share in the profits, we have organized the Douglass Amusement Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Maryland and Capitalized for $500,000. THE FACT that the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia under the same guidance has been able to pay a dividend of 8% during the first year of its operation should prove conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor. IT SHOULD NOT be necessary to present any greater arguments in favor of purchasing this stock than the fact that the building is now being erected and the personnel of the management of the Corporation. IF YOU ARE interested in the Race to the extent of desiring a theatre or theatres where yourself or family can go freely and see the finest Broadway productions presented by capable artists, investment in the Douglass Stock will make this possible. IF YOU ARE interested most of all in putting your money in a safe, sound investment, which will pay big returns in dividends, and constantly increase in value, then here is the safest, surest investment offered to the colored people of any city. THE RESPONSE which has come to the efforts of the Corporation thus far has been THE RESPONSE which has come to the efforts of the Corporation thus far has been highly gratifying. Baltimore has rallied grandly to the idea of a theatre for our people and owned by our people. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! THIS ISSUE OF STOCK IS LIMITED Do not let tomorrow find you undecided what to do. Delay may mean another lost opportunity over which you may have many regrets. S. P. CHAMBERLAIN, Secretary ANDREW F.

Statistics Show Ridgley Scored Most Runs With Hall And Greyer Right Behind Him Biancy Hall led all the Black Sox team in batting last year, according to statistics reported from the Black Sox official score book. Hall batted 587, making 128 hits in 218 times at bat. Judgeley, lead off man for the Sox, was the best run getter last year, crossing the home plate 71 times. Hall was a close second scoring 64 times, and George Greyer third, scoring 62 times. Of the batting averages are high compared to batting averages of players in the National and American Leagues, due to the fact that professional players are up against stiffer pitching. Off the brand of pitching the Sox have been up against, every regular batter has been able to hit above 300. These statistics include only the games played at home, of which scores were accurately kept by official score keeper, S. E. Cohen. No official record was kept of the games played away from home. Altogether last year the Sox played 94 games winning 66 and losing 29.

"Hair" caught an early train out of Richmond and got in Washington in time to don his uniform. Again the local boy's stick was a telling factor in help- ing the home team the third time the D.C. management ignored Hairstone altogether. But the local boy confronted him with a bill for his services, which went by unnoticed. After considerable ducking that went way into the night, he ended up with the necessary money and, everything was O. K. It can't be quite understood why Buckner could refuse to pay any player for a special service, especially to see the game. Hairstone said never again, for Washington.

Every one who knew Gans liked him, and one out of every ten top followers of his day admired him, heard him make a talk from an exhibition ring about the time Battling Nelson's manager, Hilly Nolan, was trying to get him to tie his hands behind his back and allow Johnson to battle as he rode the ring. One of the most, rarest takes I ever heard. Always I think kindly of Gans, the Old Master of the ring, and remember him as he stood in his blue trunks and spake softly and gently of his white openings, his smile, his face and unfair, in the struggle for the lightweight crown. And my recurrence of the Nelson-Nohan combination, white of skin but dark in sportmanship, is gentler than pleasant nor kind.

MAKALL IS HANDY MAN FOR GIANTS Over Twenty One Years With Local Club New York, April 23—"Who is that colored boy over there on the end of the bench?" said an American afternoon last week in the game between the N. Y. Giants and the Washington Americans, speaking to Muggy McGivney, president of the Giants. McGivney answered: "That's Ed Makall the all round handgunman of the Giants. We could not do with him. He covers for the uniforms of the players, and the bats and baseball "doubles" him down the pitches' prize wings after the game or when they are ganked." "Ed has been with the team 21 years. He joined the Giants in 1883. He is one of the boys, and if he was cut from the pay roll I believe he would manage some how to travel with him, so he could travel he with some of the oldest players. He thinks the world of them. Yes, Ed and myself are buddies, the Giants team would not look natural unless we were shucking around," concluded MieGraw.

From down in Prince Georges County "stand pat" Republicans have already sent up the wall: "NOW IS NOT THE TIME to put up a colored candidate for legislature." --- Edward H. Wright, colored corporation counsel drew $100 a day this past year or $20,000 in all for his services as chief legal expert on Chicago's traction plan. Baltimore cannot give a colored man even a job sweeping streets. If all the colored people vote the Republican ticket, when the Republicans lose, all lose. If colored people divide their vote, no matter which party loses, some colored people win. I UP TO THE JUDGES The States Attorney of Frederick County has no knowledge of any intention on the part of the Frederick authorities to punish the mob which broke up the court proceedings following the acquittal of Charles Henry Dorsey for assault upon Delsie Tweedale, white, recently. It is equally clear that Governor Ritchie has no jurisdiction in the affair, inasmuch as the rioting took place in the courtroom in full view of Judges Urner, Worthington and Peter, who were presiding and in spite of their protest. In the eyes of the law, the Frederick mob, most of whom are known, are presentable before the grand jury of the county of "contempt of court," "assault," "disurbing the peace," "inciting to riot." They could be indicted on any one of these charges or on all of them. The question is will the three judges who had the courage to bring in a verdict of acquaint, take the next step and order the punishment of those who violated the sanctity of the court of justice. THAT ELEVENTH WARD SUGGESTION If the city Democrats mean what they say, now is the best time for them to "open the party doors" to colored voters. When the Eleventh Ward white women suggested that "efforts be made to get colored women to support the Democratic party. . . . we believe that intelligent colored people will support the Democratic party IF the right appeal is made," it appears that the women have offered one of the most constructive political suggestions of the decade. Colored people gifted with common sense recognize now as never before the evil resulting from blind support of the Republican party in local affairs. They know that the local and state Republicans, feeling dead certain of the colored vote year after year, do absolutely nothing to reap such blind party loyalty. On the other hand, the Democrats, angered because the colored voter always votes with the other side right or wrong, proceeds to spread all manner of anti-Negro propaganda, and whenever possible to enact jim crow and segregation measures. While such procedure on the part of the Democrats has always aroused the condemnation of the colored people on the ground of injustice, common sense requires us to admit that the Democrats in many cases were playing the political game according to "Hovle." Pall play would also require us to make his further admission, namely, that the Negro in Maryland has received consideration from the Democratic party far above what he has paid for in votes for Democratic candidates. For example: our school system, such as it is largely the work of the Democrats; Democrats gave Baltimore colored teachers equal pay for equal work; a Democratic administration paved our streets; it was impossible to secure the appointment of colored men and women as notaries public until Governor Ritchie, a Democrat, took his seat in the Annapolis Statehouse; and Democratic Governors established the precedent of appointing colored men on the boards of state charity institutions for colored people. intelligent colored people are not blind to these facts, and agree with the spokesman for the white woman that almost any Democrat *(EXCEPT OF THE ALLAN GOLDSBOROUGH TYPE) would do as much for the colored people as Mayor Broening has done. Governor Ritchie, who has made many friends among colored people during his short term of office, has an opportunity that should not be overlooked to break the hold of the Republican party upon the colored voter. Colored people want colored police in thickly populated colored sections. They want equal salaries for county school teachers. They want a state normal school worthy of the state, and they want Maryland to make the same provision for the collegiate and agricultural training of colored people as it is making for white. As an evidence of good faith, let the Democrats urge Governor Ritchie to adopt this constructive program FOR THE GOOD OF THE WHITE PEOPLE, for the good of the state, and if we know anything at all about human nature, the Democratic party WILL NOT NEED TO OPEN ITS DOORS to admit the colored voter. Men and women alike will PUSH THE DOOR DOWN in their haste to get in. A. M. F. CONFERENCE The Baltimore A. M. E. Conference which met in this city last week is to be commended for its high stand on the question of morality. At least two candidates for the ministry were rejected because they were divorced or "had two living wives." Another minister transferred from an adjacent conference was not given a pastorate for a similar reason, and the same fate befell another who figured in a sensational case in the police courts during the year. Arguments of a church against the divorce evil avail little as long as the ministry itself falls in the same error. GEORGIA PATRONAGE Henry Lincoln Johnson. Republican National Committeeman from Georgia heading a delegation from his home state was received at the White House by President Harding last week. Almost simultaneously, the Atlanta, Georgia Independent came out in an endorsement of Mr. Johnson for the position of Register of the Treasury. If Mr. Johnson accepts such an appointment, the chances of appointment of any colored Republicans to office in Georgia go a glimmering. Already the UNRELIABLE Associated Press quotes Mr. Johnson as saying he wants all positions in Georgia to go to "GOOD CLEAN WHITE PEOPLE." AT LAST HARDING VISTS KING At four-fifteen o'clock one afternoon last week, President C. B. D. King of Liberia was received at the White House and formally presented to President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes. Forty-five minutes later, President Harding was received at the temporary residence of President King on R street, and the exchange of diplomatic courtesies between the presidents of the two republics took place in the short space of one hour. Lest one think that affairs always move so rapidly in the diplomatic corps, it is worth while noting that President King arrived in America and went to Washington a month and a half ago. In other words, it took him as long to get an audience with the White House as it did to come here from Africa. TEXAS TORNADOES Cyclones and tornadoes visited Arkansas and Texas last week leaving death and destruction in their wake. Fragmentary information that comes up from the darkness of the South makes it apparent that as many as twenty-five colored persons were killed and one hundred or more injured, and the damage to homes, churches and business houses amounts cannot be estimated. Five colored people were killed when the storm struck Melissa, Texas, injuring 35 others and wiping out the whole business section. Twenty-six persons were killed in Southwestern Arkansas alone, and whole barns and houses with their contents lifted and blown away. A home with three children was lifted from its foundation and carried several squares. The terrific wind lifted a caboose from a freight train and turned it over three times before landing it gently on the ground again. There are spots where the path of the storm was only a half mile wide. In other places it spread out to two miles and crushed every standing object. It is well that offers of sympathy and aid go out to the victims of the stricken districts. THEY STOPPED A LYNCHING When two colored men were being carried from Oktaha to Muskogee, Oklahoma, last week by officers to escape a lynching party, they were met on the road by three colored men in an auto who released the prisoners and fled with them out of the state. Women in the Oktaha claim to have overheard a telephone message from parties in Oktaha to parties in Muskogee urging that the officers be intercepted. Even those persons who may doubt the propriety of this procedure must admit that it was effective. The lynching party did not take place. LIBERIAN DOCUMENTS Has Hampton Changed? These documents were first made public in Liberia by W. A. Bryant, Liberian senator from the county of Grand Bassa, following their discussion in a Senate Executive session. In a startling expose in the Liberian News which has just arrived, Mr. Bryant claims that President King compelled the Senate to oust him (Bryant) on the charge of making these memoranda public, and of 'defeating the financial arrangement of the Secretary of Treasury in sending a Commission to America. —THE EDITOR. Memorandum For Mr. Worley Liberian Financial Adviser Department of State, Monrovia, Liberia August 30, 1918. On the eve of your departure for the United States on your well-deserved leave of absence, I thought it would not be amiss to put into your hands the following Memorandum, which might be of some service to you in presenting and discussing with the State Department in Washington the question of Liberia's assistance and needs. The policy hitherto pursued by us of obtaining Loans for the mere purpose of paying official salaries and refunding the debts of the Republic has led nowhere but around the circle, ending at the starting point—financial poverty. Our economic resources have not been developed. Nothing on the lines of public improvement to any considerable extent has been accomplished. Our national indebtedness has increased, rather than diminished. All of this tends to prove that loans to small countries, to be beneficial, must be invested in reproductive enterprises, and not applied merely to meet the ordinary expenses incidental to the administration of the Government. Hence the Liberian Government desires to obtain from the Government of the United States, direct, or under its auspices from American financiers, a loan sufficient to refund the existing loan of 1911; to meet the initial expenses attending the inauguration of the Government's proposed plan for the better government of the Interior under the supervision of American officers; to develop the economic and commercial resources of the Republic by the construction of road and railways. For such an enterprise, the Customs and Internal Revenues of the Republic could be given as security against interest, and the collock stock pledged against principal. In case the revenue from the Customs and Internal Revenue not be sufficient to meet interest, the county might be paid by the United States Government for five or ten years, subject to its lien upon the net profits accruing from the railway, from the first year of profit-yielding until amounts so advanced by the Government of the United States be refunded, with interest. Administration of the loan to be by American officials nominated by the President o Has Hampt Impressions Of A Staff Correspondent Who Visted The Tidewater Section Of Virginia (By M. H. J.) Evidently Hamptonites are not very early risers for we landed on the grounds before anybody seemed to be awake or stirring. A lady whom we believe to be the owner of the house, sitting on us sitting out on the porch took pity in us and gave us a nice hot breakfast. * * * The occasion was the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institution and the exercises were held in Ogden Hall, a new building which has been recently been put up and one of the finest auditoriums in any school, any one of which is the auditorium in the St. Louis High School was the last word in school auditoriums but we think that Ogden Hall surpasses that or any other we have seen. **** **** Former Governor Thomas W. Bicklett of Ralshow, N. C., made the address to the graduating class. In his address Mr. Bicklett told of his activity in releasing from prison during his administration as governor, a large number of colored men and boys who were serving long sentences for practically small misdemeanors. He also spoke of the fact that he had, single hand-equelled a mob that had formed for the purpose of lynching a prisoner. He told also of a case which came before him of two murderers, one white and one colored. A large number of petitions had been made to him from the citizens of North Carolina to pardon the white man but not one single petition had come to him for the pardon of the colored man. As a matter of fact he had been overwhelmed with petitions in favor of this white man who had committed the more atrocious murder. When he finally decided to pardon the white man he also pardoned the colored man. Of course all appreciated that portion of his address relating to the things he had done for the colored people and aplaued heartily. This, however, was only a small portion of what he really said. The latter part of his address, after stating what he had done for colored people, gave and rewarded colored students as to should be their future in reference to their association and conduct with white people. * * * He advised his hearers also against those colored leaders in churches or lodges or other organizations and also leading newspapers and magazines published by Negroes living outside the South. * * * Of course we were not impressed with the address of Mr. Bickett and the feeling came over us that he was the wrong kind of a speaker to address an audience of young men and young women who were graduating from a school whose purpose is to lift the pupils of the school to a higher grade A LETTER BOX FOR THE PEOPLE WHY A NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING? I might answer, because the Western, and Eastern, High School buildings are not sufficiently adequate for the accommodation of all females eligible to enter. When a mutual beneficial association is formed it would be manifestly unjust if all the members of the association who were not red headed got together and excluded all red-headed persons from equal benefits, when such had contributed equally to make up the common revenue. Speedily, we should have another well-equipped High School building for all such as are unjustly, and unlawfully, excluded from the Western and Eastern High School buildings. The honor and self-respect of our white citizens demand as much. In the collection, through taxes, of the money to build and equip these buildings already mentioned, black and white had to pay the same ratio to make up the common fund. The blacks have as great equity in the buildings as the whites. It is public property, provided with the money coming from all races. Now, it is most unjust to exclude from the common benefits afforded by a common fund, those who need the most, such benefits. The letter of the law of Maryland, the charter with respect to public education, is singularly free of the terms of discrimination, "white" or "colored." It seems to me, it is up to us to have a judicial interpretation of the present practice in the face of the law as it now is. Baltimore, Md., April 16, 1921. GEORGE P. BRAGG, Jr. THIS READER FEARS THE MINISTRY WAY FROM ITS SPIRITUAL CALMING Be it Resolved, That we have got to come together and usurp the power of some of our ministers of today, because they are of a different temperament to the ministers of y-sterday! We are tired of being driven about by them as if we were their servants for they fail to realize that they are the servants of the people, and are being well paid for all of the service rendered by them. Christ Himself taught humility, and a good number of the ministers of today are teaching exhortations of the apostle. In sending out His twelve Chosen Apostles Christ told them to "Go into the highways and the hedges and preach my gospel," and more than that he gave them a charge to keep which was "Take neither script nor purse on your journey but preach Christ and Him crucified," and by so doing He would endow them with the same power which He had. Nowadays it seems as if there is a money craze and no Christ at all. Seldom one hears a spiritual sermon except by a minister of yesterday. The letter of today has killed the Spiritual part of our worship well might the 22nd chapter of Jeremiah say "Many are called but FEW are chosen." WHO? HE THAT HATH NO SWORD, LET HIM SELL HIS COAT AND BUY ONE. Mr. Editor: I wish to express my sentiment in a few words against the violent attack made on Chuck Norris in open court at Frederick Maryland, in few days ago. To be honest with you, I will not ask you to publish what I would like to say and do, to retaliation to those cowardly brushes who had the hardship to defy the court in his duty to acquit when there is no sufficient evidence to convict. This depraved thirst for blood and fendish desire of revenge when the accused is a colored person is now becoming so acute. In many states that unless we, as a race of people, adopt a more vigorous policy in defence and safe-guards of our illiteries, we will soil be excluded from all ordinary legal procedure in the courts by mob violence and anarchy. I am ashamed of the delay and lack of support of the delay and members of our race, for not taking a more active part in defence of our National Chart of liberty. My brother! Yeah! the voice of blood grief to you. While we proved that we could fight for democracy abroad let us prove that we can fight also for democracy at home. Safety first. To my race I say take warning, and if not ready, get prepared. "He that hath no sword, let him sell his coat and buy one." ATLANTIC CITY READER INTIMATES THAT CRACKERS WHO HAVE COMP TO PENNSYLVANIA FROM THE SOUTH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFEAT OF EQUAL RIGHTS BILL IN THAT STATE. To the Editor: Sir—A. B. R. under the heading: "Do Equal Rights Involve Supremacy?" in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, April 15th, 1921, condemns the Ashbury Equal Rights Bill on the ground that he feels that the Negro is inferior. How can any white man who has lived in the South any length of time, he qualified to come North and tell the Northerner, that he should make a difference between races of people? Can the South know the limitations of the Negro, when it denies him the freedom and opportunity to drive to the limit? Can A. B. R. explain why Jim-crow cars are run in the South? They are run for no other reason than to degrade the Negro. Can A. B. R. explain why the colored man is kept from voting in the far South. He is kept from voting to keep him from rising, or extending his limitations. Can he explain why in this land of the free and the brave, the South restricts the Negro's freedom and uses every possible means to force upon him the feeling of fear. A man cannot become his very soul is impaired. Every known obstruction placed in the way of race in the South. He is kept in inescence; and for that reason is as helpless as a child. And these men who erroneously claim they know the limitations of the Negro, because they have lived in the South, are not even contented with obstructing and suppressing the ambitions of a people, who are truly loyal and patriotic American citizens; but they come North—impelled by the restraint their souls—and in trying to prove God's people to join in with them and help to harass and discourage the already unfortunate man in mankind anyway? Is it Godly to spread hate among man-kind anyway? Is it many to abstract a people, and then proclaim to the world that they are inferior? Mr. A. B. R. from the South should remember that the American Government is founded on the principle, that the more freedom people are given, the more consented and less they will be; the less tampered in their undertakings, the more they will put forth. He says "The law abiding Negro of the South is a contented being." In the South he white-man's feelings is, the colored man's law. And every Negro has to be reduced to a state of continued humble submission, before he is considered "A good Negro." The Negro is a true American citizen; and the more freedom and justice accorded him the more rapidly he will improve. the United States and appointed by the President of Liberia. These officials should in the discharge of their duties, be governed by the Constitution and laws of Liberia. Wishing you a safe voyage and a pleasant enjoyment of your well-earned vacation, Dept's 2432 June 26, 2 P. M., 1919. Amended text of informal agreement suggested by the Department of State of the United States to be used as the basis of an understanding to be arrived at with Great Britain and France. The Republic of Liberia having requested the aid of the United States as its next friend in the necessary work of financial and general rehabilitation, the Government of the United States has formulated the following plan with this end in view. The United States has established a credit of $5,000,000 for Liberia, which is to become available upon provisions being made by Liberia to reform its reforms and for effectively safeguarding the quality of economic opportunity to all States. These $5,000,000 are to be used for the following purposes: 1. All arrears of interest on the refunding loan of 1912 are to be paid, future payments are to be promptly met. Until the revenues of Liberia are sufficient to meet this charge, the necessary funds will be advanced by the United States from the loan credit of $5,000,000. 2. Payment is to be made for all unbounded legal claims, bills, and arrears of salaries against the Republic of Liberia or the Receivership on joint approval of the Secretary of the Treasury of Liberia and the Financial adviser. An American receivership of the customs and the internal revenues is to be established and the revenues of Liberia are to be administered by the General Receiver and Financial President of the United States and appointed by the Government of Liberia with the aid of American assistants designated and appointed in like manner. 4. American citizens designated and appointed in like manner are to act as commissioners to establish and maintain a just and equable administration of the hinterland and preserve order therein. 5. An effective military police or constabulary is to be maintained by Liberia under American military officers designated and appointed in like manner. 6. In view of the foreign loan to be made by the United States to Liberia and the reform program outline herein, Great Britain and France further agree to withdraw all officials nominated by them for appointment by the Liberian Government as soon as the agreements for the promised loan to Liberia by the United States have been completed. These arrangements are to include whatever agreements, if any, may be legally necessary for bankers and bondholders of the loan of 1912, and subject to the above document was handed Mr. King, then presidege elect of Liberia at the Pence Conference, who declared it a workable basis for the loan. ROBERT LANSING Hotel Scribe, Paris, France and a more independent way of living or in other words to make real men and women of them. Judging from what we have heard from Hampton in former years, and the spirit that seemed to have prevailed in those years, we are wondering whether, most importantly, we can be the movement in adding to the curriculum of the institution, of new and larger buildings of better facilities for learning and in trades and other things, whether the Hampton spirit of that day has improved if Mr. Bickett is the class of speakers that are brought to Hampton to talk to the school. I see the spirit of the Hampton movement. Dr. Pfister and those seems to have been lost in the change to a new principal. * * * When we hark back to the days when we met at Hampton such men as the Rev. Dr. Spiller, W. Bruce Evans, Major Moton, T. Thomas Fortune, D. Webster Davis, W. T. B. Williams, Dr. S. G. Atkins, W. T. Burrell, Professor J. M. Coulson, Professor Lewis and others, we are somewhat puzzled as to what we are doing or keeping the spirit of those days. We not admit that we were very much surprised and disappointed at the conditions that we met at Hampton. Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., has a plant valued at quite five million dollars. If all the pupils in the graduating class finish their course this year, just 82 will graduate. There must be something wrong with a five million dollar educational plant that can only turn out 82 graduates a year. The Federal Department of Education which investigated college schools several years ago at Hampton 210 teachers one TEACHER AND WORKER to every FOUR PUPILS. Perhaps Hampton is over officered. * * * The graduates this year are labelled as follows: Bricklaying and plastering 1. blacksmithing 3. printing 3. carpentering 5. plumbers 3. agriculture 8. academic normal 26. tailoring 2. machine work 2. home economics 15. \* \* \* I am impressed with the fact if it takes a five million dollar plant to turn out these 82 people in a year, then from a business standpoint at least Hampton needs a change of administration that will return to the nation a larger number of men and women. * * * No one discounts the work of General Armstrong, Dr. Frissell and other noble white men and women who built their lives into Hampton, but a man who built his life into instrument for service to a larger number of pupils with a colored faculty and a colored principal.

Local Man Who Escaped Moh Looked Suspicious To Police Authorities The suffering and motivations which Charles Henry Dorsey had to undergo after he had been taken from Frederick to the Pennsylvania State Line, were told by the York, Pa. Despatch of April 19th. "Tired and footsore, Charles Henry Dorsey a Negro who narrowly escaped lynching at Frederick. Md. last Tuesday afternoon, is being sheltered in the city prison. He was picked up this morning at 2 o'clock in the eastern part of the city as a suspicious character by Patrolman Perico, Dorsey walked to this city from a secluded spot in the mountains near Frederick, where he was taken last Tuesday night by county authorities for safety. "After a week of wandering he landed in York, only to be arrested as a suspicious character. He thought that the lynching party was still after him and two parties of more than two or three persons. He said he knew the right that he was being given chosen to arrest, as he was hardly able to walk any more. The police have not decided what disposition they will make of his case as he is not known to be guilty of any offence here. "To the police today he said that he was innocent of any connection with the crime with which he was charged in Maryland." Since Dunn has been freed of the Sunday ball charge by the advocates of a "blue Sunday," the Black Sox can go ahead with their schedule. The city is still waiting patiently to hear what the Survey Commission has to say about the administration of the high school.

JONES Supervisor to the late Charles B. Jones Funeral Directress and Embalmer CARRIAGES AND LIMOUSINES FOR ALL OCCASIONS 211 N. Pine Street Baltimore, Md. Wheeling, W. Va., April 28.—Driven from their homes in many instances without being given an opportunity to collect their belongings, colored residents of Beech Bottom, Brooke County, have sought temporary refuge in surrounding towns, nearly a score being housed in hotels and among friends in Wheeling. The insistent race riot Saturday night was the aftermath of an attack Friday night on Mrs. John Horne, a white woman, 22 years old, who was waylaid, it is believed, by two prisoners who escaped from the Wellsbury fail. One of the prisoners was white and the other colored. The mob spirit developed soon after news was received in Beech Bottom of the outrage and many colored citizens were warned by friends that they had better leave the community. No violence was shown, however, till after dark when a crowd collected and made a tour of the colored section. Families were roused from their beds and informed that they had till noon-Sunday to get out, these warnings bringing punctured with a fusilade of shot. From one refugee, a woman who with two small children, is now staying at the Veise Hotel on Market street, it was learned that the mob numbered at times 75 men and boys, some of the latter appearing not more than 14 years old, and all armed with rifles, revolvers and shot-guns. From the Brookie county sheriff's office assurance was given yesterday that the community was quiet and that extra deputies were pitrolling the section to prevent further outbreaks. The colored man, J. C. Cason, manager of a boarding house for colored workmen, denied the mob when it called on him, declaring that he would not yield his right until he was killed. He and one other man, are the only colored persons who stayed in Beech Bottom over night, it is reported. In the last few days many of the 200 residents have returned. ASBURY PARK FARMERS Garden News CARE OF YOUNG CHICKS The enthusiasm with which many poultry raisers, particularly beginners, start in the spring with young chicks sometimes lags as the season advances and the chicks get old enough to shift for themselves. If care is neglected at this period, however, success is improbable. The baby chicks may be small little fellows from strong vigorous parent stock, and they may have been brooded carefully for the first two or three weeks, but unless they receive proper care and management during their later growing period they will not develop properly, and many of them will be lost by sickness and disease. As excellent bulletin has issued on this subject by the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Ask for Farmers Bulletin 1.111. It is free. Lime can be used advantageously on all crops, except potatoes. On potatoes lime promotes scab. The rose *Alnace* Vibert was in introduced by M. Vibert in 1828. Few roses have stood the test of time as this variety loss. It is a Noisete, and although an old variety is unknown to many rose-lovers. Not many growers list it. I find in the catalogue of *Bobbink* & Atkins. The flowers are pure white small and borne in cluster. Given sufficient room and light to grow naturally, the long branches will droop and the long touching or running on the ground, if slightly covered will root and make additional blooms, all of which will covered with flowers during the flowering season. This variety is also excellent for arbors and trellises. In pruning roses and most trees and shrub do not leave cross shoots. Hollyhock, pyrethrums, gallardias and coreopsis can be sown in the open ground as soon as it can be prepared. Never apply liquid manure to newly planted roses. Never apply this stimulant until the plants are growing vigorously. The pouches in this locality seem to have been killed; the plums and cherries in some places fared better. Further south the results were disastrous. In Delaware parchment, and in parts of Maryland the strawberries, cherries, plums, pears and raspberry crops were ruined by the freezing weather after the flowers were out.

Too large containers are not desirable since they increase the liability of breaking some of Half fill the container with the water glass solution, put the eggs in it and add more from day to day as they are obtained, until the container is filled. The sure the eggs are covered with about two inches of water glass solution. Cover the container and put it in a cool place, when it will not have to be moved. It should be looked at every two or three months to see that the water has not evaporated so that the eggs are too near the surface. If there to be any danger of this, sufficient boiled water should be added to keep them covered. Remove the eggs from the solution as desired for use, and rinse them in clean, cold water. Before boiling such eggs prick a tiny hole in the large end of the shell with a needle and keep them from cracking. As the eggs age the white membranes thinning and is harder to beat. The yolk membranes becomes more delicate, and it is correspondingly difficult to separate the whites from the yolks. Phone, Mt. Vernon 1366 CHARLES A.

OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921 66 The Living Man A Remarkable Story By Mark Whitmark (Copyright 1921, by W. M. Kelley) CHAPTER FIVE Symptoms of Prevening Infection. James Tyson, pursued by a mob set on lynching him, is tracked by pointouts to the river and, by walking in the river for a mile, he gains access to the trail. From his hiding place underneath the bridge leading from Crackerville to the Potter's Field, Tyson saw the possessor lying on the ground. He also saw a river on the downstream side dragging the river for its downward flow. Tawed evening, Tyson, unable to sound the strain any longer, cried out of his hole under the bridge at the edge of committing by throwing himself into the water, when he was overexerted by a thick wagon, returning from the river to the driver of the wagon. Potter soon recognized his friend Tyson and, lifting his exhausted body into the wagon, drove to jail at the same time a possessor from the Sheriff's office to the settlement in search of Tyson. Time to his word, began stopped before a diving little restraint before returning to the undertaking parade of Samson's show, and proceeded to sandwich his pet, which he drapped under the seat to Tyson, who had not eaten in nearly thirty-six hours, Tyson had moved so swiftly, his companion death the precious touch of his clamours for his life now were so slim. Tyson hardly had time to think of food, but in that intervening instant, between the time long to throw him the sandwiches, and his first bite, Tyson suffered all the tributes of hunger. He are the first bring his hand toenails which was the pest and the pie, and then he sandwiches. After the he dragged the rest of the whisky. Through the thin covering of the "died-wagon" the outside ones remained his ear; so that when he stopped his horse in one of the undertaking offices, he was in the colored section. As soon as Logan informed the couple, Samuel Cribbow that "You just in the wagon, Mr. Cribbow advised him to skip the horse host I Fred," said the old man, "but don't go home! Have twenty-nine dollars. Catch the outright freight to Atlanta." "Who are you going to do Mr. Cribbow?" asked Logan, "to the money. I don't know how often. They'll take you too soon. No, I won't go. I'll stay. It's my fault, anyway. I'll take the blonde. I know I shouldn't have the money. I don't know what to do with him, he saved my life when we were in France together." "Never mind told," brooke in the Cribbow, "I know; and to doctor; I Wolf Hunter; to lady bad, doesn't be? Go by the note, and tell the wife how long they Don't give me yet. We haven't much chance but we'll make the bout of the one we have. I may have a will stay as go hayes. They will be there. I don't know what it would make things any better. Get your guns.
