CAPTAIN "WEB." DuBOIS At the great Afro-American Conference, held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago, the only change made in its splendid resolutions was a sentence along the line of the complained of part of the July Crisis editorial. When approached by the writer and asked if he had written it, Dr. DuBois, secretary of the committee on resolutions, laughingly admitted that he had done so. This we were loath to believe and did not do so until he arose in the meeting and understock to defend the objectionable sentence, but in vain, for it was stricken out and a proper one unanimously substituted for it. The incident started us to thinking (and investigating), but not until we learned that the committee had a deputy of reference to a deputy in the army intelligence department, and stationed in the War Department at Washington, D. C., did we understand his "reversal of form." We do not believe that Dr. Booker T. Washington in the heyday of his "d诺ine of surrender" preaching would have dared do such a thing. O. DuBois! Et tu brute! Ralph Burles and Quinn Montgomery were among the young men who left for W. Beaford University to take special training for war service.

Buy War Savings Stamps ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since MOB RULE HELPS KAISER And Says it is a Dangerous Blow at the Nation's Honor-Complies With the Request of the Recent Great Afro-American Conference WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Wilson, last Friday, in a personal statement addressed to his fellow countrymen, denouncing mob spirit and mob action, called upon the nation to show the word that while itFIGTS for democracy on foreign fields it is not destroying democracy at home. "The president refigured not alone in action against those suspected of being civic or sympathizers," have been used by the German program throughout action in Europe to contend that the pretensions of the U. S. as a champion of democracy are a joke. Deeply concerned by the situation and at the request of the recent great Afro-American Conference held here on the Government's invitation, the President decided to address his fellow countrymen and to declare that he is about the United States what her most gifted liars cannot improve upon by way of calamity. "Forcefully denouncing an apparent growth in "mob spirit" as emulating the "fawless passion" of Germany which has "disgraced sacred obligations of law and made fathers of her armies." President Wilson appealed to the country to take this disagreeable evil, Lunachies, he said, constitute "a blow at the hearts of law and human justice." The text of the President's Proclamation "My fellow countrymen: "I take the liberty of addressing you upon a subject which so vitally affects the honor of the nation and our institutions that I trust you will think we justified in speaking very plainly about it. I allude to the mob spirit which has recently here and there very frequently shown its heat amongst us, not in any single region, but in many and widely separated parts of the country. There have been many lynchings and every one of them has been a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice, a man who America, no man who knows far more than honor and character, or who is truly loyal to her institutions, can justify mob action while the courts of justice are, open and the governments of the states and the nation are ready and able to do their duty. Germany Outlawed "We are at this very moment fighting lawless passion. Germany has outlawed herself among the nations because she, has disregarded the sacred obligations of law and has made lynchers of her armies; Lynchers emulate her disgrateful example, for my part, an anxious to see law being enforced above that level, with pride and a fixed resolution which no man or of men can afford to despise. "We regularly claim to be the champions of democracy. If we really are, in deed and in truth, in let us see to it that we do not discredit our own, I say plainly that every American who takes part in the action of law is likely to be a great difference is no true son of this great democracy, but its betrayer, and does not to discredit her by that single disloyalty to her standards of law and of right than the words of her statesmen or the sacrifices of her heroic boys in the trenches can do to make suffering peoples believe her to be their savior. Contributes to Lies "How shall we commend democracy to the acceptance of other peoples if we disgrave our own by proving that it is, after all, no protection to the weak? Every mob contributes to German lies about the truth of the law; the laws cannot improve upon the way of culpability. They can at least say that such things, cannot happen in Germany except, in times of revolution, when law is swept away." "I therefore very earnestly and solemnly beg that the governors of all the states, the law officers of every community, and, above all, the men and women of every community in the United States, all who revere America and wish to keep her name without stain or reproach, will co-operce—not passively merely, but act in concert and end to this disgraced evil. It cannot, live where the community does not counterance it. "I have called upon the nation to but its great energy into this war and it has responded—responded with a spirit and a genius for action that has thrilled the world. I now call upon its men and women everywhere, to see to it that its laws are kept inviolate, its fame unattarnished. "Let us show our utter contempt for the things that have made this war hideous among the wars of history by showing how those who love MEMBERS OF THE GREAT RACE CONFERENCE Held in Washington, D. C., June 19, 20 and 21, 1918. liberty and right and justice and are willing to key down their lives for them upon foreign fields stand ready also to illustrate to all mankind their loyalty to the things at home which they wish to see established as a blessing and protection to the peoples who have never known the privileges of liberty and self-government. "I can never accept any man as a champion of liberty either for ourselves or for the world who does not reverence and obey the laws of our own honored land, whose laws we ourselves have made. He has the standard of the measures of tide, country, chose affects to us." COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG Major Spingarn, Editors W. M. Froster and John Mitchell, Jr. Discuss His Case. Maj. Joel E. Spingleton has been under the fire recently of the Boston (Mass.) Guardian. That journal asks if he is playing double. The major is a most valuable man and his interest in the progress and development of the robbed people alone all lines cannot be denied by those who have chosen the job. In their half, still ignorant of our nation that he has been eagerly described in some quarters relative to the rights and privileges accorded to school people by some of the representatives of the War Department. We found him make the testimony that after an investigation he was of the opinion that Col. Charles Young was fairly dealt with in being retired and that the official boss had not traced him unfairly. But he was not guilty. If a white man, who is suffering from similar ailments is retained in the service of the regular army and the colored man is retired, the colored man is not treated fairly. But the officer, totally unfit has been accepted for service over their protests where men apparently fit for service, but who MEMBERS y Evening 10550 EUCLID AVENUE would have obtained commission in the army if accepted, had been re-engaged.

BAKER African-Americans, particularly, have watched his every act, reported in the press of the country, that had to do with our people, especially our soldiers and their many and varied interests, fully filling the tremendous, humiliating (southern) influences we would have to combat in every effort he made to ameliorate any of these problems and to make harmful conditions that seemed to have multiplied with each-succeeding month ever since the enlistment of our boys began. He has not always satisfied and has not made a great deal of progress for us. it is true. This, however, is clearly the result of the tremendous odds he has to contend against. But what he has done—from the appointment of our friend, James A. Scott of New York, a special assistant to the war to promote his interests, to the authorizing, last week of the calling of Afro-American nurses—has been so very much more than the most gigantic of us. Clefendants of color were looking for him that we shall not hesitate at this time to give him frankly, full praise and thanks for the same, and to say that, as a result, we are looking to him for much more such favors, very necessary to be done, if he wants to be successfully prosecuted with the contended whole-hearted support, in men, money and work, of the Afro-American people.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1918 What won't some people do for more salary and an appointment as an officer in the army, these days? This is a fine time (?) for the N. A. A. C. P. to make such an attack upon Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, who in about six weeks will be placed on trial for his life, in connection with the East St. Louis, Ill. massacre! According to one of our conferences of the race press, Editor DuBois receives a salary of $4,000 from the N. A. A. C. P., while the Government will pay Captain DuBois $2,400; $6,400 a year seems to have appealed very strongly to the editor-captain. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., has "diagnosed" the Col. Charles Young case perfectly. The Gazette has so very often, in recent months, made clear the situation as regards the colonel and the war department that it is unnecessary to do so again at this time. With its issue of last week, the Indianapolis Recorder entered its 22d year. Editor Gee P, Stewart started the paper and has been in control of it ever since. Congratulations, conferee, and sincerest wishes for the future. The Recorder is one of our best papers. _____||||||_____ So the lying (southern controlled) Associated Press dispatch, to the daily newspapers of July 22, did not influence the President to confine himself to a discussion of the Robert P Praeger case as hoped. Good! Praeger was the Illinois German-American lynch-murdered, some months ago. James Weldon Johnson, national organizer of the N. A. A. C. P. and Francis Young, president of the local branch of that organization, were refused service in a local restaurant, some weeks ago. The former referred to it in his address here and yet both men have failed to start suit against that color line restaurant keeper for the refusal. WHY? Talks with Rev. Chas. Bundy, father of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, and with the latter's wife, thereby convince the editor of The Gazette that it is necessary for them to give their side of the N. A. A. C. P-Bundy controversy in order that a correct understanding of the matter be had by our people the country over, and we have urged the Rev. Chas. Bundy and Mrs. Leroy N. Bundy to do this. It will be an even more harmful mistake than the vicious N. A. A. C. P. attack of last week, for them to fail to do so. If the N. A. A. C. P. does not promptly divorce DuBois from the editorship of the Crisis the race press ought to notify our loyal members of the race to discontinue patronizing that publication. Its editorial "doctrine of surrender" (for the duration of the war) of our efforts to secure what the race needs now and must have, DuBois is persisting in, ought to damn any race publication and cause it to be barred from the homes of our people generally. The August Crisis is worse than its July issue. Editor DuBois is trying to "bull his way thru"! Let us see that he does not do so—"for the good and welfare" of the race. THE AIRPLANE EQUATION. The war news shows the value of the airplane. Foch was not surprised because the airplane service enabled him to foresee the German purpose. The enemy movements were hampered because of machine gun fire and the dropping of bombs from the allied planes. The results accomplished seem to be in proportion to the numerical superiority of the allied planes over the German planes. This brings home the necessity of having things ready in time. Had the American airplane policy been to manufacture standard English or French planes until something better could have been evolved, great numbers of additional planes would have been in action against the Germans. Campaigns and battles will not wait for invention to evolve the perfect plane. The English, French and Italians are doing wonders with their machines. Had this country devoted itself to their production, the numerical superiority of the allied planes over the German planes would have been decisive. The dispatches from Germany tell the manner of the death of Quentin Roosevelt. They state that a squadron of American battle planes attacking German machines, one American aviator stubbornly made repeated attacks. In a duel that resulted a German antagonist shot down his machine. Young Roosevelt was buried with military honors by the Germans where he fell near Chambry. His personal belongings were carefully saved and will be forwarded to his relatives. Thus the gallant young hero "paid with his body for his soul's desire." There will always be a place sacred to him in the memory of the American people. "Quentin's mother and I are very glad that he got to the front and had the chance to render some service to his country and to show the stuff there was in him before his fate befell him." This was what Colonel Roosevelt said when told that his son was dead in France. One cannot help but contrast the glorious service of young Roosevelt to his country with the service of the safety first and bomb-proof young men. Familiar names and families will occur to the reader without detailed suggestion. They have already indicated that they purpose to stay away from the front and have showed the lack of the stuff the times call for. THE TWO WASHINGTON CON ERENCES For the benefit of the Cincinnati (O.) Union and the Houston (Tex.) Freeman, and all other conferences interested, who do not know the facts we desire to say that there is absolutely no possibility of comparison as to attendance, personnel and results accomplished, when the two race conferences recently held in Washington, D. C., are considered. There is no doubt either in our mind that the impending meeting of the National Liberty Congress had much to do with the calling together by the government of the great Race Conference held in that city. But to try to compare the two conferences one must be wholly unfamiliar with the facts, as was the case with our good friend, Editor W. P. Dabney, of the Union. We refrain from saying more because we feel that those who gathered at the National Liberty Congress were carnest workers for the race and were trying to do their best to help and this race of ours needs all the help it can get, these days, from all sources. We were in Washington at the time of the meeting of both conferences and made it a point to know where we speak. CONTEND WHILE YOU WAIT! "All things come to him who will but wait," quotes Editor J. H. Murphy of the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American, last week, in speaking of the War Department's recent belated authorization of the enrolling of our nurses for service in this country and probably "overseas." Yes, Brother Murphy, all things do come to him who will but wait but fights for them in a proper way while he waits. That is how we gained the "nurse" concession, Secretary Baker's public statement that local draft boards must stop discriminating against our drafttees and the President's splendid plea against mob violence and lynch-murder. All this came as a direct result of our great Washington, D. C. Race Conference's resolutions and "bill of particulars" lodged with the administration in June of this year. Yes, wait, but only because you have to, and be sure to contend in a proper way for what you are entitled to while you wait. GREAT ANTI-LYNCH-MURDER PLEA President Thomas Woodrow Wilson has done what no other president has ever done—he has made a strong plea against mob violence and lynch-murder that ought to and undoubtedly will have a salutary influence against America's long-standing and greatest shame and disgrace. It is true that it took a time and a condition, made by a World War, such as this country has never before known, to bring this to pass, but that even they forced the making of such a strong plea by a southern Democratic president, surrounded in the two other coordinated branches of the govern- ment by men of the same political faith and place of residence, is what surprises all, even the most sanguine members of that great Race Conference that brought it about. President Wilson's pronouncement against lynching is one of the finest state papers he has issued and it is undoubtedly one of the most important. A grateful people thoroly appreciate it, too. ON FRENCH FIRING L Our Soldier Boys Are Doing Work—French Officers Pre Them. With American Armies of Marne, France—The attack of of the 92d division, Afro-Artroops, on the front running ward of the Chateau-Thiery, was bodily contested, but early in our troops, it was "FIRE" DUBOIS! In an editorial dealing with the war, the July Crisis, contains the following advice to our people: "Let us, while this war lasts, forget our special grievances and close our ranks shoulder to shoulder with our own white fellow citizens and the allied nations that are fighting for democracy." Editor DuBois has seldom packed more error into a single sentence. He says three things in this sentence: (1) forget our special grievances; (2) close our ranks, and (3) fight for democracy with our white fellow citizens and the allied nations. Our ranks are already closed, they have never been open, they are not open now, they will not be open in the future. So that 'DuBois' advice being predicated, as it is, on the assumption that our ranks are open is baseless. The same is true as to our fighting for democracy. That is the one thing the Afro-American has always contended for and will in future contend for. As to forgetting our special grievances. How can we? The lynchner won't let us. The "jim-crower" won't let us. The man who practices racial proscription won't let us. With lynchings averaging higher than two a week, how are we to forget lynching? With the daily denials to hundreds of the comforts and conveniences of transportation, how can we forget "jim-crow cars? When a young woman, or man, has qualified for admission to the civil service of the government, and been certified and called, and is refused appointment when it is discovered that he or she is a member of the race, how can we forget racial prescription? The lyncher, the "jim-crower" and the racial proscriber keep these things alive. No other group of citizens having special grievances are being advised by their leaders to forget them, but on the contrary every effort is being made to have them corrected now. This is true as to labor, as to woman's suffrage and as to rights of the Jews and the Irish. Why an exception in our case? And yet, in the August Crisis, Editor DuBois persists in giving the same line of contemptible advice, thus making it appear that the influence of that captainny in the array, or something else, is all powerful with him. The fact that the recent great race conference refused to "forget our wrongs and grievances" but put them all squarely unto the Government, and, too, at its special request; and that splendid results have already followed its mainly, self and race-respecting action, seems to mean absolutely nothing to the individual—DuBois. If the N. A. A. C. P. does not soon rid itself of this individual, not only the Crisis but the organization itself will be ruined, and ought to be. THE GREAT RACE CONFERENCE Held at the Nation's Capital in June—Some Things it Recently the colored editors of the country were invited, by the Government, to Washington for conference; to tell what, if anything, militated against a splendid morale within the race; what was necessary, on the part of the Government, to invite a more enthusiastic co-operation, if such be possible, and what were loyal grievances of a people whose loyalty had survived the acid test from Lexington in 1776 to Verdun in 1918. In their bill of particulars, setting forth their grievances, all of which were REAL, and not fancied, these colored newspapermep—cach and every one a true patriot, presided over by that 100 per cent, loyalist, Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War—called the Government's attention to the fact that ONE HUNDRED of their people had been lynched in this country since the beginning of this titanic war that the race was discriminated against and segregated in many of the departments at Washington—the U.S. Department of War which inaugurated and supported the War and War Savings Stamp campaigns in which the race had cheerfully contributed millions, being a notable offender in the matter of segregation and discrimination against colored appointees who had won in a competitive examination; and twelve other grievances our loyalty, patriotism and cheerful co-operation called for adjustment.

The "Buffaloes" alone captured 300 Germans. The latter apparently seemed fearful of their safety when they faced these shouting boys and in many cases gave themselves up without conflict as prisoners. When informed they would be relieved by fresh troopers, after holding their line for nearly 36 hours of continuous fighting, they reported that they needed no relief but began pressing "Honie" back further. On the northwest bank of the Marine, where three regiments of Afro-America soldiers had been holding an important sector for some time, these troops made an arrestive drive to the town of Jaugnone, capturing the Germans in their duplexes that pushed forward in their mud rush to put the Stars and Stripes flying over this town. News has reached here that north of the Adro, Afro-American troops along with British and Italian troops were thrown into the fray. The attack of the Italians was feebly developed and rapidly crashed. But our troops pushed forward with the British and French in support. Between the forests of Fene and Uiz, the Afro-American troops were advancing forward. Just before the capture of Armoricens, our boys ran thousands of Germans from their trenches and a fierce hand to hand struggle followed with the bayonet and rifle bolt. The boys had planned a raid on the Germans which was carried out with success all along the line. Hundreds of German dead were on the field behind their five-mile advance on the town of Oulech-le-Chateau and Brecy. When they reached Brecy one of their American tuns was received with shouting and chirks by the battle-scarred heroes. A contingent of Afro-American infantry, commanded by Col. F. A. Dennison, formerly assistant state's attorney at Chicago, is holding a front line sector under the command of the French near St. Eihiel, Leucit Bina Diamond, former crack Uni- tary of Chicago spinner, and Lieut. Sam Ranahan, former football star who played himself with Karell cell distri- guished themselves in leading patrols into the enemy lines. The French commander officially praised the Afro-American troops in a report to the army commander. TO ORGANIZE PIONEERS Our Troops Chosen for New Outfit First to Go Forward in Battle— First August Draft 3,300 Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O. — The first organization of pioneers in Camp Sherman will be Afro-American troops of the 802nd regiment, it was announced Monday, and already selection of men for this special combat work is going forward in the regiment. Imagined of 250 men to a company, as in other infantry, the pioneers will have 103 and the regiment will be approximately half the present size. "The work of the pioneers," said Lieut. Col. Watts, acting commander of the 802nd, "is largely for open warfare. Although it is always possible that further re-organization may be effected in France, the plan now is to cut down the relative number of men to the number of officers on an existing the finest specimens in the regiment for the new outfit. Pioneers are the first troops to go forward in an offensive movement. They cut their way thru, occupy bridgeheads and important bases and do the first work in organizing captured territory. My men now are engaged in taking psychological and efficiency tests, and they will be selected for their soldier-like appearance and ability." The first August draft from Ohio will be of 3,200 of our men due to arrive in Camp Sherman, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Cleveland and Cuyahoga county quotas are as follows: 356 and 14, respectively.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I hardly now how to express my appreciation of your kindness in sending me "The Old Reliable" Gazette. I get a copy every week, on time, and all of the boys in my company are always glad when Saturday comes because they know that they, too, may read the paper. My old company is in France and known as Co. F, 365th Inf., Capt. H. W. Mills. One hundred and thirty of as will leave here, this week, for "over seas," duties, "somewhere in France."

It was the latters third appearance in this city to make the same speech, so we are informed. Rev. G. C. Fishback introduced Rocose. Among the callers at The Gazette office, this week, were: Prof. Wm. Piccars of Baltimore, Chas. W. Hall of Washington, D. C., Revs. Chas. Bundy and O. W. Childers. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises any circumstance under the condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, indifferent, may not denom, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and the justice would be dispatches.

The corner preaching in the 11th war is takenaken advantage of by "Negro" comrades seeking an "easy living," who pose as "preamachers" and it ought to be discontinued! Our Ministers' Alliance ought to appeal to Chief of Police Smith to put a stop to it and we believe he will do so, promptly. It has degenerated into a nuisance. The Cleveland (O.) Gazette also frequently makes mention of a Mr. C. C. Cade who, we believe, is a native of Waxahachie and a graduate of our local high school. If The Gazette's C. C. C. is the same, as the old fox of The Meddler once "met up with," we can corroborate that he can "do things" to his own satisfaction at all events—Waxahachie (Tex.)

A Mr. Patterson (white) of the hydraulic Pressed Steel Co., called on The Gazette, Tuesday, and denied emphatically that the company is or has been drawing any color line at its plant, and said that some of our men, employees, asked to be seated at a table to meet to discuss insulting remarks of some of their white fellow-workmen. The editor of The Gazette would like some of the employees of the hydraulic Co. to call at the office as soon as they can for a confidential conference. Pass the word to them, reader, please.

Burke, "apostle to our people of the south," has written a letter of acknowledgement of the aid he received in parishes of the diocese of Cleveland. Msgr. Burke and two associates in the work, Fathers D. J. Bustin and Charles Edwards, visited a number of parishes in Cleveland seeking help for their work. A number of other parishes are yet to be visited. Msgr. Burke's letter reads: "As one may learn from the appeal of the headquarters the diocese of Cleveland in top' in gallant style when we appealed for the colored missions. The welcome our priests received from clergy and laity couldn't have been surpassed anywhere. The answer to our appeal was really a wonderful testimony to the genocess of the people of the diocese, at a time when some excuse might have been alleged for a discrimination to give, flowing from the insistent demands of war needs." August 1 is celebrated in honor of the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. Jan. 1 is the proper date for the celebration of its abolition in this country because Lincoln's emancipation went into effect on Jan. 1, 1863. The Cleveland Association of Colored Men is again advertising what it terms an "annual emancipation celebration to be held, this month, at color-line Luna park. SHAME! The worse some people are treated in some public places the better, they seem to like it, it seems. And still this does not justify the tolling of thousands of others of our people to such a place for the purpose of fattening the treasury of the Luna park management at the expense of our poor people, many of whom do not know or understand the insulting color-line conditions existing the year around at the park. The "Nergos" responsible for annual Luna park affair ought to be disciplined by the loyal, self and race respecting manly and womanly of the race in this community in such a way as to make them properly appreciate the seriousness and enormity of their offer against the race.

Pickens, a graduate of Yale University and dean of Morgan College, Baltimore. Md., who for nearly two hours thorly pleased the large audience. His discussion of racial conditions, present and past, frequently driving home his points with clean and most amusing stories, was fine—just what we expected—and his war advice, predictions, etc., excellent. Pickens is a fluent talker with an abundance of dry humor and fair command of the dialect. Roscoe Conkling Simmons is not in Prof. Pickens' class as a speaker or in any other respect. Roscoe's talk is almost entirely camouflage, and then Pickens is much the abler man. Throughout his address the applause was frequent, spontaneous, generous, the large audience thus evidencing its thorough accord with the speaker as a result. When he was saying, Rev. O. W. Chilens, pastor, and the Adams-Rainey Men's Guild, of St. ames A. M. E. church, are entitled to the thanks of our people of this community for bringing the talented and distinguished speaker to the city.

Raleigh, N. C.—Forty-five thousand acres of swamp land near Beltain in the eastern part of the State, which it is proposed to reclaim by drainage, using the reclaimed lands as a nucleus for colonization purposes on a scale never before attempted in this State, have been purchased by New York investors. The purchasing company has been incorporated as the Norfolk Southern Farms and is headed by Mark W. Potter, New York investor and lawyer and president of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad. The large acreage of the proposed farm will permit plans for the operation of a packing house and grain elevators which will assure a market for all products. It is said that the company will operate and manage farms for purchasers of small tracts which will be sold after the land is thoroughly developed and put in through shape. Regular shipments of pork and beef are expected to be sent in carload lots to New York. The drainage of this great tract of land will involve the digging of 155 miles of ditches. The land is in the famous "Black Belt," that is regarded as part of the richest arming land in the country. Its rich, black soil, from three to seven feet thick, contains from 50 to 80 per cent vegetable matter. It is not unusual or more than 100 bushels of corn to be raised on each acre of adjoining lands that have been brought into cultivation. In addition to corn these lands are now producing phenomenal crops of potatoes, cow peas, soy beans, winter rye, oats, cotton, peanuts, alfalfa and clover. Soy beans, cow peas, crimson clover, vetch, winter wheat, oats and rye sown in the corn at the last cultivation, furnish excellent grazing throughout the winter, so the land will grow the best of stock foods the entire year. The long season permits a spring crop of potatoes, followed by a summer crop of corn and the fall and winter cover crops referred to. It is stated on authority that crops grown while the land is being cleared by cutting and burning the standing timber will more than pay for the expense of reclamation. The lands as the present time carry a dense growth of trees and shrubs. They are cleared simply by cutting down the trees and burning them where they fall. The first year's burning disposes of everything except the larger logs and stumps. Immediately after the first burning corn is planted or "stuck" among the logs, without their removal, by dropping kernels in small holes made by a stick and the yield is about 30 bushel to the acre without cultivation. The second and third year the land is again burned and planted in the same manner. The fourth year, as most of the logs and stumps have burned and softened up, the land is cleared at slight expense and put under the plow. Approximately 10,000 acres of adjoining lands have been brought into cultivation during the last five years and are yielding upwards of 100 bushels of corn without the use of fertilizer or lime and with only indifferent cultivation. These lands lie between Albernarle and Pamuco sounds. Flesh of Stain Animal Sold and Proceeds Given for Charity. Lawton, Okla.—A woodland battle between two buck deer was productive of deer meat being placed on the market of Cache, a village near here. The animals waged a furious battle on the Wichita forest reserve and fought until their horns interlocked. A passing miner saw their plight and notified the superintendent of the reserve, who knocked the tip off one of the antlers of the victor of the duel and released the combatants. The victor trotted off, but the other deer was so weakened from the struggle that the superintendent killed it. The proceeds from the sale of the meat were given to charity, it being against the law to realize a prift from deer meat in this State. WINS CIRL AND WACER OF $100 Proposes Over "Long-distance" After Taking Dare. Romans, N. D.-- After letting his friends see a photograph of Blanche C. Ripley, one of them made a wager of $100 with Harry Bronson that he could not marry the girl before 6 o'clock the following evening. Bronson took the wager. After communicating over the 'phone with the girl, who was a trained nurse at Sloux Falls, she said "Yes." Bronson and Miss Ripley met at Egan came to Romans and were married early in the morning. Sections Then Tilted to Upright Position by New Method. Building a house wall like a floor and then tilting it to an upright position is an original system of construction which has been so perfected that at present is is used for large and costly concrete structures, saving time and material. Walls up to 120 feet long have been raised by this method, and many of the structures built by the federal government such as barracks, military hospitals, cavalry stables and other military buildings of standard type, which have long but not high walls, were erected by this system. In building an edifice by this method the foundations are laid and within them a series of steel trussed frames is set up in perfect alignment. The frames are placed & few feet above his ground, in an almost horizontal position and they are set a few feet apart and at right angles to the foundation. These frames carry the wall, so that after the concrete has had time to cure the supports are brought into an upright position setting the wall squarely upon its foundation. The raising is done by telescope screws of unusual length, one under each steel frame. The jackscrews are operated simultaneously by a worm gear which turns all of them at an equal rate, the motive power being a small engine. The tilting is very gradual and the wall comes into position without any jar or shock. There are many advantages in this system. In the first place the forms are laid flat upon the steel frames, not built in an upright position, and the work of placing the forms is done in less time. About half the lumber used on other forms is all that is needed by this method, as the upper surface requires no forms. This upper surface, when the wall is horizontal, is the outer surface of the wall when it is set upright, consequently all the disfiguring board marks are on the inner surface, which receives plaster or other interior finish. The smooth surfacing of a concrete wall is difficult and costly, but by this method it is readily accomplished, for the finishing coat, and all decorative features, can be added while the concrete is wet, in which condition the adhesion is perfect. This is one of the most advantageous features of the system—Popular Science. HIS CHURCH SEAT He's Not Ousted from Flock When Folk Learn He Operates Still The most picturesque lawbreaker of the south is the moonshiner who is sometimes referred to in his more peaceful avocations as a "Hill Billy." Statistics recently collated show that the moonshiner is not on the decline, and efforts to stamp him out have proved abortive. Although revenue officers continue active from year to year, and federal judges sentence long lines of offenders to the penitentiary as regularly as the terms of court roll around, the business continues to flourish, and as soon as a mountaineer serves his sentence he goes back and starts another "still." The mental attitude of the moonshiner has often been commented on and is generally understood. He sees no reason why he should pay the government a tax on whisky he makes himself, out of his own corn and with such apparatus as he may have at hand. Furthermore his conscience does not reproach him for selling the liquor without a license after he has made it. With the exception of his moonshining proclivities and a habit of "poting" unfriendly neighbors in the feud district, the illicit distiller may be a model citizen. So far as he, or any member of his family, or any neighbor, is concerned, the fact that he has a still somewhere is no reflection on his character, and he can occupy a prominent seat at church. There are also economic reasons why a mountaineer persistently converts his corn into whisky, at the risk of his life. His corn is usually grown on poor land and is inferior in quality. Besides, he would have to haul his corn a long distance over rough roads before finding a purchaser, even at a low price. The temptation to concentrate his product and make what to him is an enormous profit is not easily resisted, so, as fast as one still is destroyed another springs up to replace it—Birmingham Are Herald. HORN IS SWITCH SIGNAL Auto Device Helps Railroad Men Shift Cars. Ten electric automobile horns mounted on telegraph poles and all controlled by one push button in the scale house are used for signaling the switching crew in handling trains over the railroad switching bump at Imman, Ga. Signals given by these horns take the place of signaling by hand and a sound to give much better results, especially at night or in foggy weather. The switchman can move about at will without the necessity of continually watching for signals, while the whole crew of a long train is certain to get the same signal at the same time in unmistakable if rancous tones, from the horns spaced along the track on the telegraph poles.-Popular Mechanics. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OH 10, AUGUST 2, 1918 KEPT SECRET OF MURDER OF GIRL INDIANA JUSTICE OF THE PEAC NOW CHARGES HIS SON-IN. LAW WITH CRIME ROBBERY WAS THE MOTIVE For Sake of His Wife and Daughter He Did Not Explain Josie Gray's Death. Evansville, Ind.—Unable longer to bear a secret kept for eight years, Benjamin Morris, Justice of the Peace of Pigeon Township, Vanderburg County, has declared, in a statement to newspaper men, that he had knowledge that his son-in-law, Guy Prescott, caused the death of Miss Josie Gray, bookkeeper for a furniture company, in this city, March 16, 1907. Miss Gray, the daughter of a superannuated Methodist minister, and the support of her aged parents, was attacked as she was putting $250, the day's receipts, into the company's safe, after working late at night on her books. She was beaten and locked in the vault to suffocate, but was rescued two hours later. She died of her wounds a month afterward, having been unable to speak coherently. Prescott, a packer, who had been alone in the plant with the woman, was arrested, released temporarily, and fled from the city. He has not been found since. Morris was a Constable at the time of the crime. After Prescott disappeared, his father-in-law was credited with shielding him. In his statement Morris said that the crime had preyed on his mind and he could stand it no longer. He said he had no knowledge of Prescott's guilt until eight or ten weeks after the man's disappearance, and then the thought of his wife and family scaled his lips. Soon after the crime, Morris declared, his wife came to him and told him her daughter had thrown something into a closet at the Prescott home. The father said he questioned Mrs. Prescott and she answered, "It's the money Guy committed murder for." "The money is still in the closet. We have never touched it." Morris declared. His wife and daughter now being dead, Morris said he felt free to denounce his son-in-law from the day he disappeared. "If I knew where he was I would personally pay the expense of bringing him back to stand trial for killing Josie Gray," he said. The crime stirred popular sentiment to a high pitch. Prescott had been in a Sunday school class taught by Miss Gray and was well known to her. He had remained in the furniture plant on the night of the crime to put out the lights and lock the doors, but declared Miss Gray had dismissed him, saying she would lock the place. The police later declared that Prescott returned to the plant within a few minutes after departing. They asserted he did not reach home until 2 o'clock. Prescott had been reported in various parts of the world. At one time he was said to have enlisted in the American navy on the Pacific Coast and deserted when his ship reached an Indian port. SUES A TELEPHONE COMPANY Alabaman Says She Heard "Huby" Ask Over "Safe" Line About Divorced Wife's Health Birmingham, Ala.—P. W. Alston, mechanical engineer, connected with an iron-making enterprise of this district, and who is about 40 and divorced from his first wife, was talking over the telephone with their daughter, about 17 years old. He was inquiring about the health of his divorced wife, when his present wife, young and high-spirited, got in on the wire. What she heard made her angry and she left Alston. Now he has sued the telephone company for $10,000 damages for alienation of the wife's affections. He avers that the company advertised its lines as being "perfectly safe" and charges it with negligence. He quotes from the directory advertisement: "If the neighbors should overhear, just think what it might mean! But they can't because it's an individual line service, a line all your own, perfectly safe from other folks' curiosity. Just the kind for secrets and it costs only a few cents a week more than party line service. Isn't it worth that to be free from outsiders' ears?" RATTLESNAKE IS SUGAR THIEF Puts Woman to Flight, Then Devours Swee. Stuff. Baker, Ore—An impolite rattle snake almost spilled the dainty cake Mrs. W. J. Williams of Homestead, was making. The snake took some sugar out of a jar as Mrs. Williams reached for it. Mrs. Williams almost upset the cake when she saw the ratter, and then started double-quick to find some one to kill it. When she returned with aid the snake had eaten all the sugar and left. One or the most pitiful things in the world is to see an old woman wearing a wrist out finery. New York—Ellen Hassett, 6 years old, was whirling thru the big sewer under West Forty-seventh street and was within a block of the Hudson River when she was rescued by the exceptionally brave work of Frank Knight, a 17-year-old office boy. Ellen is the eldest of four children of Mrs. Margaret Hassett, a widow. The child was playing with companions in front of her home when she started across the street. Her playmates heard her scream and saw the little girl suddenly disappear into a sewer manhole, the cover of which probably dropped into the sewer after being broken by a heavy automobile truck. They ran to the opening and looked down, but all was dark. They could hear a rush of water far down. At that moment Frank Knight, the office boy, came into the circle and without hesitating he started down into the black hole on the iron rungs set into the masonry. When he was down eight feet he called to Louis Alhnett, a friend who remained above, to get a lamp or lantern, as he could not see anything. Just then the lad lost his hold and dropped down into the sewer, but he was able to keep on his feet despite the current. Far away to the west he beard the faint cries of the missing girl and, giving no furtherheed to the darkness, he called to her: "I'm coming; hold on tight!" Down that slippery tunnel, twelve feet under the street, Knight slid, managing to keep upright in the hole, which is five feet in diameter, getting closer and closer all the time to the child's cries. Finally he came up to her and seized her dress. Then came a struggle to get back to the manhole, He was engaged in that task, holding Ellen above the stream all the time, when John McGovern, started down the manhole, fearing that both the boy and the girl had been swept to the river. McGovern kept calling down in the darkness to the boy and when Knight was half way back he heard and replied: "We're all right: I got her." When Frank Knight had reached the manhole he handed the child up to McGovern, who had descended part way on the rungs, and McGovern lifted her up to Miss Elizabeth Treanor, who was leaning down into the hole from the pavement. Her head was severely cut where she had fallen and she was very weak. As Knight reached the street level he did not seem to think he had done anything unusual, but he said he was frightened when he fell into the stream and believed he was alone in the sewer. How far he had gone thru the sewer to get the child Knight did not knw. He believed it was at least forty or fifty feet. MAKING GIRLS THIN AND FAT Special Tables Are Provided Where Young Women Can Change Denton, TX.-The fat girls residing at Stodd Hall, one of the dormitories at the College of Industrial Arts here, are fasting, while the thin girls are feasting on all kinds of weight-producing foods. Separate tables and special diet have been provided for girls who wish to become thin and those who wish to gain weight. The experiment is being conducted under the direction of Miss Eriss Ingham, dietician of the hall, and the college physician. Twenty girls wan, to get thin and 24 wish to weigh more. The thinnest girl weighs 80 pounds and the stoutest 750 pounds. The test is on strictly scientific lines. Gains and losses in weight will be ascertained at regular intervals. The girls are pledged to prescribed rules in regard to their eating, sleeping, exercise, diet at and between meals, drinking, clothing and worrying. Sweets are absolutely tabooed for the "fats" while the "thins" must leave alone such celsishes as pickles. A sample of an average day's diet follows: For Stout: Breakfast—Apples, cereals, milk and to sugar, boiled eggs, zwiebuck, hot water. Lunch—Salmon croquettes, sliced tomato, grailian bread, no butter, peach salad with boiled dressing, and cheese. Dinner—Meat loaf, string beans, creamed onions, baked potatoes, sliced pineapple.

Spokane, Wash—Miss Cora Nelson, 21-year-old school teacher, died from a wasp sting, at her home near Medical Lake. The sting, back of her ear, had an effect similar to that of a rattlesnake bite, the alkali acting as a poison.

Subscribe Now! To The Loyal! Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. 'Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention. These five boys have a chance to live, if the President says so. "The Gazette" urges our people to fill out the appeal to the President, to be found on this page and also to write a letter to his or her U. S. Senator and Congressman asking that the President be urged to save these boys. They are victims of peculiar circumstances and conditions born of prejudice and hatred. Write today; help to save them.
