THE The TAILOR MADE GOWN THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Feminine Headgear The charms of the tailor-made gown are very apparent this season; it seems to have reached an unwonted height of perfection in color, in material, in combinations of braid and rich furs, in fact everything which goes to make up a most harmonious whole. A great many of the newest tailor-made models show very fascinating little boloers which are half capes! These garments invariably have the sleeves cut in the same piece as the coatue, thus avoiding a shoulder seam. I do not pretend to understand how this is managed, but the effect is excellent, and it represents one of the novelties of the season. Famous authorities assert that we are slowly but surely drifting towards crinolines and "leg 'o mutton sleeves." I do not think we shall quickly see crinolines in possession of the feminine affections but we already have with us something extremely like the "leg 'o mutton sleeve." Marked flatness on the shoulder and considerable width above the elbow! At this particular moment sleeves of this order are very quaint and artistic, but I should not like to speak with great certainty about the attractiveness of the sleeves of next spring. Fashions must change; it does not seem possible to leave well alone and we cannot dare to expect that the sleeves of next summer will rival those of the season which has just faded away. In our illustration we show two original designs in tailor-made gowns. The one on the right is of silver grey cloth, trimmed with embroidery. The other costume is made of bottle green cloth trimmed with velvet and cords to Not the least important item of the woman's wardrobe is the hat with which she crowns her toilet when going abroad. The little fur cap Black velvet faced with tulle, having white plumes tipped with black at sides and tips. adorns many a fair head, bearing clusters of fruit, flowers and quills. An admirable exception to this form of decoration is shown on small caps of ermine decked with two fountain-shaped black osirich feathers held in In Union There is Strength. match. The bolero opens on shoulders to show the velvet blouse. White, so long the color monopolized by the debutante, is no longer confined to her, and this winter a number of the smartest matrons have appeared at the sides of their debutante daughters, at reception or dances, in gowns as white, and in some instances almost as simple as that of the bud herself. This is a wise fashion, for there is no color that makes a more charming frame for the mature or even slightly passe woman than white, when the shade is properly chosen, for shades in white should be as carefully considered when a choice is made as shades in other colors. The woman with snow-white hair and a pink and white or white skin may wear the pure, dazzling whites. For the woman with dark hair, or grey hair having a yellowish tinge, for unfortunately there are such, and a sallow or a creamy skin—the latter as beautiful as the former is unattractive—should select the deep cream. Then there is a silver grey hair to be considered, and the greyish-white skin, and for these the pearly greyish shades or the pinkish whites are suited, but never the creamy tones. The pinkish whites also go admirably with the pink-tinted skins, and are a safe choice for many women, as in America the pink and white tinted complexion is most common. The more beautiful creamy complexions, and the also handsome dead-white complexions, being comparatively rare, perhaps because there are so very many more blue-eyed women than those of darker hue, and these are usually accompanied, or should be at least, by pinkish-white skins. front with a paste ornament. This, however, was not a fur cap of the most conventional polo description, but more of a fur tauque mounted on a bandeau, and worthy, perhaps of being called a hat. Black beaver is very popular and was never more worn than this season. One we saw the other day was a "cavalier" hat in black silk beaver with flat choux of black satin massed around the crown, and a large plume of cock's feathers at one side. The new flat cloate hats with comparatively small brims are becoming to some women. One we saw was made of the finest black silk beaver and was raised high at the back and left side on a bandeau covered with choux of black satin. Lying flat on the crown, almost directly in front was a cluster of white camellias and waving over the back two superb feathers, shaded from black to soft grey and then to pure white. A little prying into the future and effort to learn what the coming spring and summer has in store in the way of millinery leads one to believe that the jobbers are trying to get away from the conventional and bring in something new. As to shape there will be some new ideas, notably along the lines of the mushroom and the irregular sailor. Flowers will be employed to a marked extent from the opening of the season. On stiff hats, black velvet ribbon will be very good with feathers. Lace will also find its use. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1907. GOOD START! Made by the Brownsville Riot Probe. SERGEANT HARRIS The First Witness Called Makes ar Excellent Impression—What He and Others Said! Washington, D. C.—Israel Harris, former sergeant of Company D, Twenty-fifth infantry, was the first witness called before the senate committee on military affairs when the official investigation into the shooting up of Brownville last August was opened Monday. Senator Foraker took charge of the direct examination, while Senators Lodge and Warren, who are President Roosevelt's supporters, did most of the cross-quests in the investigation. He witnessed, but told, a straightforward story that made a good impression and was not shaken by cross-examination. He sorek he knew nothing of the affray in Brownville until awakened by the noise of firing and turned out of the barracks in response to the call to arms. He accounted for every member of his company, and declared that none of them could have had any part in the affair, and returned in time to take their places in the ranks. Senator Foraker gave a hint of the line he will follow in establishing the innocence of the troops, by having Harris explain in detail the manner in which the army rifles are cleaned after being used. Harris testified that a rifle cannot be cleaned in less than ten minutes, and that it couldn't be cleaned in the dark illustrating the method of cleaning with a rifle that could not be fitted. It is probable that this line of reasoning was used to out refute the contention that soldiers, after raiding Brownville, could get back into the inspection at 6 o'clock next morning. The 20 of the discharged soldiers present at the hearing as witnesses were assigned to an end of a corridor near the room and only a limited number were permitted to sit in the room during the proceedings. There was only one white man among the witnesses. Senator Foraker will look after the interests of the soldiers if they are placed in isopardy. Besides Sergeant Harris, who is now employed in Boston, the discharged soldiers present were: Sergeant Mingo Sanders, whose 26 years' service has been told of in debate in the senate; Privates W. H. Miller, E. L. Daniels, C. H. Bradison, A. H. Roland, T. L. Martin, R. Elmer Brown, J. Franklin, R. Desgauer, J. Jackson and Winter Washington. Harris testified that on the night of the riot he was asleep in the barracks when aroused by the call to arms. The gun racks, to which only non-commissioned officers have keys were unlocked and the company was mustered under arms. He personally counted the men. All were present; At 6 next morning all the rifles were inspected and found clean. All the ammunition charged to the men was produced. He declared it impossible to clean a rifle in the dark or to clean it in less than ten minutes. Given a military rifle, Harris took it like an expert, back the shell ejector, sighted along the barrel and made the members of the committee look nervous. Mr. Foraker asked the witness to show that a gun is cleaned. "Can't that be written with words?" "Can't that be dispensed with?" asked Senator Lodge. "No. I want to show how long it takes to clean a gun so it will pass inspection. How long does it require?" Mr. Foraker asked the witness. Harris said it could not be done in less than ten minutes, and then went through the movements. He said that one shot would put the gun in condition to require almost as much cleaning as six or more shots, his inference being that it would have been impossible for any guns of D company to have been used in the "shooting up" of Brownville and to have been Senator Foraker is desirous that all the "discharged without honor" soldiers who want a hearing in the Senate investigate have the opportunity. As some of these men may not know of this opportunity or may not understand that the government will pay their expenses to and from Washington and while there, to testify and that they will meet friends there who will inform them thoroughly as to their duties, it will help the cause very much; therefore, every friend of the soldiers will please send their addresses to Senator J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C. cleaned surreptitiously so as to pass inspection when the racks were unlocked and the guns inspected next morning. Harris said he had talked with soldiers who said they had been insulted and pushed off the sidewalks by Brownsville citizens, and he thought trouble might ensue in consequence thereof. He declared that the only discussion he heard among the men after the affray was "What will be the outcome of it?" The guilt or innocence of any particular individual was never discussed by the men. None GAZETTE. of the gun racks in his company had been broken, but he heard that a gun rack of Company C had been on order of an officer (white), and he had seen it in the carpenter shop. "I believe citizens of Brownsville themselves shot up the town to drive the soldiers away. We spent little money in the saloons because we weren't treated right, and the citizens wanted us sent away and white soldiers in our places who would spend their money." This was the opinion (under oath) of Jacob D. Fraser, former first sergeant of Company D expressed Wednesday on the witness stand. "Do you believe citizens would murder one of their own number?" Senator Overman asked. "I don't know whether anyone was killed. I only know they wanted us away because we wouldn't spend money in saloons. It was possible and easy for the citizens to get ammunition from the soldiers. Citizens might have procured discarded caps and uniforms from soldiers who had been there before us. Our men all wore hats." Frazer said the guns used in any shooting affray could not have been cleaned in a hurry. "It takes 40 minutes to clean a gun so a commissioned officer can't tell whether it has been fired." he said. Senator Foraker conducted the examination of Fraser, but had not proceeded far until Senator Petus objected, saying he was "leading" the witness. Fraser declared all members of his company were present or ac counted for, and all their unification was ready when it was ordered to be turned in. He said there was no conspiracy or silence among the conspirators. OUR BAND LEADERS For Afro-American Regiment—President Roosevelt Backing Down Some More. Washington, D. C.—President Roosevelt on the 28th ult. directed that the applications for the e-enlistment of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry be con-hered at once so as to facilitate recruiting to their full strength the Afro-American regiments, all of which have been or GENIUS----PERSEVERANCE.

The secretary of war has sent to the commanding officers of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry regiments the following self-explanatory letter: "Sir—The secretary of war has directed that hereafter white men be not appointed chief musicians of bands of colored regiments when colored men possessing the requisite qualifications can be secured for that position. "He therefore directs that when a vacancy occurs in the position of chief musician in your regiment, due effort be made to fill it with a suitable and competent colored instructor of music, and if it cannot be obtained you will report the fact to the war department. He further directs that in no case will the appointment of a white man be made without the express authority of the war department. Very respectfully, (Signed) "F. C. Ainsworth, "Military Secretary."

What I said in answer was that "all persons look alike to me." I used the word "persons" because it was broad enough to include not only white men and black men, but women and children as well. I cannot, because of the ban imposed upon all present not to report what occurred, say more. I would not say this, except only to correct the impression of which you speak. Very truly yours, etc. J.

Yes, and everybody else, who is at all familiar with the case, because all would know that the discharged soldiers making such an "admission" were lying. None of them are any more guilty of having "shot up" Brownsville, Tex., than is the editor of the unfriendly Leader. PRESIDENT AND THAT "FAIR." As we suggested last week, Vice President Fairbanks has talked to the president about that alleged "Colored Agricultural and Educational Fair association of Columbus, O.," and to some purpose. It enticed Mr. Fairbanks and Booker T. Washington to its flasco last year, and was trying to take advantage of the president's unfortunate position as far as our people the country over is concerned, to get him to make a similar mistake this year. Last year The Gazette was severely criticised by certain correspondents who continually boom Mr. Washington because it refused to boom the alleged Columbus fair in which a Mr. Chavers was the moving spirit. It developed into just what we expected it to—a personal money-making scheme and a disgrace to Ohio Afro-Americans. Our best people of Columbus repudiated the thing, and those of the rest of Ohio did likewise. A dispatch from Washington, D. C., on February 4 to the Cleveland Press thus sums up the matter and, in our judgment, correctly: "President Roosevelt is being urged by Vice President Fairbanks, Congressman Kennedy (of Columbus) and others to abandon his plan of visiting Columbus, O. to attend the fair of the Colored Educational and Agricultural association. It is charged the fair is a scheme to attract gamblers, and the president's advisers tell him he will merely add to the profits of the sharks. Fairbanks was guest of honor at the fair in Columbus last year, and as the crowd reached the grounds to see him, the gamblers opened up their breaths and cleaned up all the money in sight. After the gamblers got all the crowd's cash the fair was closed, although it had been advertised to run several days longer." SILLY NEWSPAPER STORIES. We regard the talk of the president's appointment of an Afro-American to a local federal position of prominence, anywhere in Ohio, "as a joke on Senator Foraker" or as a rebuke to him because of his grand efforts in behalf of our "discharged without honor" soldiers, as a silly newspaper "story," pure and simple. In our judgment the same is true of the daily newspapers' frequent statements to the effect that the president has selected Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, as one of the persons thus to be honored and on the recommendation of Booker T. Washington. If there is a member of the race in the state of Ohio whose appointment to any position by the president would give great and general dissatisfaction, at least as far as our people are concerned, it is the fellow Tyler. There is not an Afro-American in all Ohio for whom a large number of our people have as little use as for him, and they have plenty of good reason for feeling as they do, too. It would be difficult to select a more unpopular and a more generally disliked member of the race in Washington. If there did, they certainly did not know him or were misled into so doing. We credit Booker T. Washington with entirely too much good sense to dabble in Ohio politics in any such way as indicated in the afore-said newspaper dispatches from Washington, D. C. Ohio Afro-Americans, with the assistance of this state's two United States senators, are entirely willing and able to look after their own political interests without outside interference—something no sensible people will quietly submit to and a thing they will vigorously resent in a way that will be felt by any outside person or persons who seek to interfere. There ought not to be, and we trust that there is not, a member of the race in Ohio so ungrateful and disloyal as to permit himself to be used by the president of the United States or any other person or persons as a club with which to "punish" politically the most aggr sive and best white friend of the race in America to-day—Senator Foraker—for his efforts in behalf of the race. REV.WOODSON'S REPLY To Thaddeus W. Wheeler's Statement of the court's trouble and Trials-Pellet Dayton, O., Feb. 6, '07. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I read the article in your last week's issue sent by T. W. Wheeler—Eaker Street Church exercises vested rights recently determined by means of a trial." The article contains many false statements. First, the trial of T. W. Wheeler, Wm. Shaw and I. Randolph was not to determine any rights given the church under the law of the church or state, but these men have been a disturbing element in the church ever since have been here and were tried for violating the discipline of the church. And a clear case was established against them, but the committee weakened for fear of further action, and acquitted them. And the same person was tried for the case has been appealed. The second false statement was that "an hour before the trial an effort was made by the plaintiff to hold it behind closed doors." The pastor stated on Sunday evening to the defendants, 24 hours before the trial, that all those not connected with the case would be excluded. This same person failed to say that he brought two police and stationed them inside the church door in order to let in all classes, outsiders and all. The chairman of the meeting, Rev. Toney, ordered all persons excluded but those interested in the trial, and he gave this order to the police (white) that this person brought there to guard the door. Then Mr. Wheeler asked the chairman if the witnesses would be admitted and the chairman said "yes." Then these christian gentlemen (the defendants) went out on the street and met the people, both saint and sinner, and told them they were wifes witnesses so they could pick the house with boosters. A third false statement was that every advantage was taken by the plaintiff. Who brought those police? Who invited those of every class? Who made those false statements? I am sure it was not the plaintiff. A STORY OF FARTHEST WEST. Painneville, O.—The following from a local paper written by M. L. Gordon's brother is self-explanatory: Brewster, Wash. Dear Sir: As you have not heard anything from me since I have been in these parts, I will say a word in regard to the country, climate, etc. The surrounding country is high and mountainous with birch land between. I am located on the west side of the Columbia river about two miles from the mouth of the Okonogon river in a beautiful valley, containing some ten or twelve thousand acres of bench lands which is practically level. I have taken possession of some of our Uncle Sam's land here and am now trying to make a farmer of myself with fairly good results. The nearest railroad is 52 miles and the only transportation we have is the boats on the Columbia. Our mode of travel is the old stage coach. We feel safe in saying, however, that in the next 12 or 18 months that we will have the railroad with us, as there are great strides being made to that end now. The government irrigation project just north of us has a great deal to do with the coming of the railroad. There is a private irrigation canal in this immediate vicinity that will do a great deal toward the development of the country. In regard to the climate, the summers are long and dry but not very hot, about 80 degrees is the average temperature. The winter is warm with lots of snow. At the present time there is about three and one-half feet of snow and still snowing, which every rancher greets heartily, as we have to depend on the snow for moisture to grow the crops. There is plenty of all kinds of game here to furnish all the sport that one could wish, such as deer, bear, mountain goat, ducks, geese, grouse, prairie chicken. Salmon and trout are available.

Horace Jefferson, of Troop B, Ninth cavalry, is the second best pistol shot among the enlisted men. Persons interested in reading Prof. Frederick Starr's series of articles on the Congo Free State now running in the Chicago Tribune see that the white men who have gone to that country to uplift and civilize the black heathen, are even more immoral and worse among the black women there than the white men of the southern United States, who are more immoral association with their slave women have made the Negro of America look like Jacob's cattle, stinreaked and spotted.

Viney has brought mandanus proceedings against the city to compel Mayor Todd to appoint him a member of the fire department. He alleges that he stands at the head of the list of eligibles under the merit system and that the board of safety has refused to certify his name. This is a proper move on the part of our voters to get justice. Charles Marvin, aged 68 years, one of the most famous drivers and trainers of race horses in America, is dead at Lexington, Ky. During his career he owned many horses of national reputation and probably won more victories on the turf than any other American trainer. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1907.

C.—After years of negotiations, George W. Vanderbilt for $50,000 has purchased from an Afro-American named Collins a cabin and a six-acre lot. Collins purchased the lot and cabin 20 years ago for $200. When Vanderbilt decided to build Biltmore House, landscape gardeners approached through Mr. Collins's property. Vanderbilt offered him a large sum for the place, but his lawyers told him to double the price. Mr. Vanderbilt refused to pay, but later agreed to his terms. The lawyers told him to double again, and this performance was repeated several times. Mr. Collins now lives in Pittsburg. The Texas railroad commission has ordered the five railroads entering Galveston to build a causeway across Galveston Bay. The proposed causeway will cost $5,000,000. DR.WILLIAM A.SINCLAIR And His Great Book—Interesting Reference to it and the Author. "The Aftermath of Slavery" is written by one of the ablest of the race and in it is set forth for the first time a record of the historical facts which show the services of Afro-Americans to the country in peace and in war; what he has accomplished for his own uplifting and what are his actual needs for the perfection of his development. It also contains copious quotations from the press and from the spoken and written utterances of public men, both north and south, showing how the popular opinion of the country regards the imminent crises of the day concerning the Negro's right to citizenship. The book brings into readable form a mass of facts and information that has required years of preparation and labor to get together and edit. DR. WILLIAM A. SINGCLAIR William A. Sinclair, its author, was born in bayshire at Georgetown, S. C., just before the Civil war. He attended South Carolina college and Howard university, where he graduated from the collegiate and theological departments. He pursued a post-graduate course at Andover seminary and later studied medicine at Central Tennessee college. Dr. Sinclair has held several teaching positions, and for the past 16 years has been financial secretary of Howard university, D. C. "The Aftermath of Slavery" is a book that every man and woman should read and place in the hands of their children, that they may be informed of the true history of the race for the accomplishment of its needs, it not only appeals to our race, but contains the exact information that every American citizen needs to enable him to understand the pressing questions of the day concerning the Afro-American. The leading men and women and publications of the country give it the warmest endorsement. Small, May. Cambridge, Mass. The best, West, Cambridge, Mass. Publishers. Trouble in the Chair New York City.—The surplaced choir of the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist is without the services of the favorite high tenor, Clarence B. Hayes; the principal soprano, Miss Bertha Inher; her sister, Miss Ada Inher; and ten other choristers. For four years the most prominent member of the choir, from a musical point of view, has been Clarence B. Hayes, a dark young man, with a right black hair of teratics of Indian blood. Miss Bertha Inher has sung in the choir for three years and is engaged to Hayes. Recently someone told Rev. Dr. Arthur B. Howard, the rector, that Hayes' grandmother was a member of our race. Dr. Howard, entirely too officious, visited the parents of Miss Inher and expropriated with the mother over permitting the engagement of her daughter to continue. The themers are liberal in their views. Finding that his advice produced no effect, he went to the vestry and the tenor was requested to resign. Ten of Hayes' friends among the choir then refused to sing. Good! Alexander's Magazine For January is rich in the sort of material calculated to inspire Afro-American readers.

There is a large table in one corner of a police station in an eastern city which the police themselves have had to dust off lately. Recently a negro that was stabbed was carried into the station and died on the table. It is a part of the negro trusty's duties to dust the table every day. The day after the death the sergeant noticed that the table had not been dusted and he called the trusty. "Dust that table," he said. The trusty took off his hat and made a low bow. "Look heath, sergeant," he said. "Ah always does what you tells me. Now, a niggah done die on dat table, and if Ah must take my choice of dustin' it oh braken rock, Ah' ready fuh dutr pile.

Imitations have been placed upon the market so closely resembling Allcock's Plasters in general appearance as to be well calculated to deceive. It is, however, in general appearance only that they compare with Allcock's, for they are not only lacking in the best elements which have made Allcock's so efficient, but are often harmful in their effects. Remember that Allcock's are the original and only genuine porous plasters—the best external remedy known—and when purchasing plasters the only safe way is to always insist upon having Allcock's.

Boy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema In Rough Scales, Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my child was cured. He is now twelve years old and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905."

Nobody who has not endured the suffering caused by nervous headache can realize the awful agony of its victims. Worst of all, the ordinary treatment cannot be relied upon to cure nor can give relief. Some doctors will say that if a person is subject to these headaches there is nothing that can be done to prevent their recurrence. Nervous headaches, as well as neuralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition — the nerves are starved. The only way to feed the nerves is through the blood and it is in this way that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accomplished so many remarkable cures. Mrs. Addle Merrill, of 39 Union Street, Auburn, Me., says: "For years I suffered from nervous headaches, which would come on me every five or six weeks and continue for several days. The pain was so severe that I would be obliged to go to bed for three or four days each time. It was particularly intense over my right eye. I tried medicines but got no relief. I had no appetite I had the headache passed away I felt as if I had been sick for a month. My blood was thin and I was pale, weak and reduced in weight. 1 "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and decided to try them. I first noticed that they began to give me an appetite and I commenced to gain in weight and color. My headaches stopped and have not returned and I have never felt so well as I do now.

She is surmised to be Wheeling, Mrs. Sarah Brown, of Wheeling, W. V. K., son, a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Rhodes, Cumberland, other relatives and a host of friends. Mrs. Tucker was a twin sister of the editor of The Gazette's mother, who died a little more than three and a half years ago. Funeral Friday, 2 p. m., from St John's church, Rev. Ira A. Collins officiating. Undertakers Boyd & Dean in charge of the funeral. "Kill the niggers, kill the niggers." — The Cleveland News, fourth edition, column 7, page 1, January 22, 1907. "All coons look alike to me." — The Cleveland Leader, page 3, column 5, January 30, 1907. "How do you like it? And still there are members of the race who swallow such outrageous mistreatment, argue against our peoples' protesting against it, endeavor to justify it and make excuses for advertising the News and the Leader and recommending them to our people of this community! Such Negroes ought to be drummed out of the city. They are "wolves in sheep's clothing," traitors to the race and far more than brutal enemies like Tillman and Van Dam, who fight "in the open," because they (the New Yorkers) depend upon their race connection color or both, to screen them in their dirty, contemptible work. They are the bane of the race, North and South, and do more to hinder racial progress than our bitterest enemies among other races. The recent mass meeting in Antioch Baptist church "to consider President Roosevelt's unfortunate discharge of companies B, C and D, Twenty-fifth infantry, and to assist Senator Foraker in his grand effort to rehabilitate our soldiers; also to consider heaped upon Afro-Americans of this community by the Cleveland Leader and the Cleveland Electric Street Railway Co." was a grand success in every way as every one knows, and it is rather like one and the knockers' and disgruntled beings to "gust busy" with personal explanation. It is with the purpose of justifying that would dam them forever if they were members of any other class of people than our own. The statement that "Rev. R. W. Bagnall and George Johnson admit that they got in wrong" in participating in the mass meeting, both gentlemen brand as an UNMITIGATED LIE, worthy of its source—the same that alleged that the church's trustees wanted to turn out the lights the night of the meeting, etc. Simply malicious and willful, that's all. Mr. Johnson did not refer to race traitors in half severe enough terms at the meeting, but O. how he has made the sleepsqueal "Twas ever thus, however. Then, too, there has not been near so much to complain of from the News and the leader since the meeting, but O. how you noticed this? Great and lasting good was accomplished as a result of that meeting. So say Revs. Bundy, Glimre, Bagnall, Doan, Bailey, Sissie, Collins, Jackson, Maxwell, Dandridge and all other loyal, right thinking and honorable Afro-Americans. LEGAL NOTICE.
