HORRIBLE WOMAN LYNCH-MURDER! Dancing Every Thursday Evening at Barksdale's Academy, 10550 EUCLID AVENUE DR. BUNDY REPLIES TON.A.A.C.P.ATTACK! IN UNION IS STRENGTH THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR. No. 1 HORRI DR. BUNDY TON.A.A.C.P. Accuses the Organization representing Him and For Assistance Cleveland, O., Aug. 5, 1918. Editor Gazette, Dear SIR: Enclosed is a copy of an open letter to Messrs. Studin and Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P. in answer to the statement of the withdrawal of the association from my case. It is highly proper and right that the public should know the truth. Hence, injustice to me, the public, is not the case. That the enclosed open letter will be published in its entirety by your paper. Thanking you in advance for this favor and for many past kindnesses, I beg to remain yours. L. N. BUNDY. To. Messrs. Studin and Shillady. To. Messas, Studin and Shillady, Carle, Carle, 70 Fifth Ave. New York, N. Y. Gentleman: It is with great pain and heartfelt regret that I read your published statement, which misrepresented me and threatened to do damage to my great and sacred cause. For the life of me I could see no justification of your unkindly act. What puzzles me is that I must cult for me to discover your motive. First, either intentionally or unintentionally (I sincerely hope the latter) you greatly misrepresented me and conveyed to the general public upon which I am much dependent at this time, a false notion as to my conduct—inserting statements which I use. While your public:statement contained some of my words, as a whole it seriously misrepresented me. Second, you accuse me of not properly reporting to you as representative of the N. A. A. C. P. on one hand and on the other hand I claimed to you and claim now that I was under no obligation to report to you however true it might be that I should report to those under whom I operated. I am certainly grateful that the officer it took in me and whatever it helped it afford me. (I am persuaded that your association did aid me to a good degree) but I know as well as you know that at a most critical time in my case, while WHY NOT CONDEMN LYNCHING Of Constitutional Ballot Rights? Is Editor-Captain DuBois a, Traitor? Since the president has condemned the lynching of persons, mob action as against the life of American citizens, why not now go further and as strongly condemn the lynching, so long perpetuated by the south in the saddle democracy, of the constitutional liberty of the politically mob dominated distranchised south, in the republican government by a political oligarchy, is that which breeds mob action against persons; while voice in government, ballot rights, is the only safe guarantee of the citizens from the lawlessness and violence of the mob. Around and about the ballot hinges and centers everything that is sacred to human rights in American government is the root of American democracy. The ballot is essential in the selection of those who make and execute our laws. Denial of voice in government, the repression methods of the political oligarchy in the south, is the root of the lynching evil in the south. Lynchers of the liberty guarantees of the American constitution are the adepts in the repression methods of the saddle democratic party is itself both a brutal aristocracy and a ruthless mobocracy. A vigorous repression of the Bourbon system of brazen political repression and of mob minority-government in the southern states is what, to be really effective of results, is needed. The repression of the saddle democratic party will enable the repressed south to save itself from the Lynchers. Colored Americans recall that, prior to the presidential election of 1912, a delegation headed by Bishop Walters were told by the Democratic candidate for the presidency, that, in event of his election, he would treat all citizens alike, etc. No sooner had the Democratic party taken charge than the policy of segregation in government and in government at home, those who lynch the American constitution, as in the case of the southern states, are not to be accepted "as a champion of liberty either for ourselves or for the world." Those of us at all informed know that the south in the saddle democracy is not a proper spokesman, for world democracy. The duty of the rest of the country to clean house at home and the proper way to proceed is to begin at the coming congressional election. In no other section than the south is this repeated, and continued mobbing of ballot rights and of human beings; and the representatives of this Dancin THE GAZETTE I was still in prison, there arose, in my judgment, a critical moment, a veritable crisis in my affairs, when very rapid action was not being taken by your organization and after repeated appeals to officials of your association which brought no response; I deemed it absolutely necessary to seek aid elsewhere. I found a group of friendly spirits in the states of Illinois and Missouri, to whom I committed my interests and there met with speedy and ready response, whom to the day of my death I shall always appreciate. For it is entirely due to this group of friendly spirits, whom I reported illegitely. From that time until this I have been operating under these auspices of newly organized friends to whom I have been reporting and shall in the future report. It was this group of friends that arose to the measure of my necessities in this crisis. If the conditions, circumstances and crisis through which I am now passing and must soon pass, permitted, I would be glad to go into all the details attending the development of my case and explain to the fullest my every movement. Every dictation of common sense demands that for the time being I forego this work, in developing my defense, which I hope is not far distant, when I can make a full breast in the most public way of all the details of my acts, in developing my defense. And I can assure you and all interested friends that I shall not hesitate to do this when the proper time comes. I shall have much to say later, but for the present I must refuse to be turned aside from my paramount duty in preparing my defense. I sincerely wish to thank you, the officers and members of your association or any aid you may need to help me and offer my inexpressible thanks to the many other friends and particularly the organization in Illinois and Missouri for the extraordinary aid and good will shown me in my perilous hour. L. N. Bundy. HON. J. C. MANNING south in the saddle democracy ought; for the sake of American consistency, to be unsaddled as a step toward making the world safe for democracy. A headline in The Cleveland Gazette asks: "Is 'Ju-DoBois a traitor?' My judgment is, no. He is only what the National Association, silk stocking ilk is—simply a _____! He is no more a traitor for playing in the backyard of the south in the saddle democracies of Virginia, or a quirky who played in the south in the saddle backyard in 1912. None of them have sense enough to know that no ballot, no man! Would you take a bow and arrow to try to kill Jersey mosquitoes? you would dry up the cesspool that breeds them. Then, for goodness sake, why go around with the National Association bow and arrow shooting at the cesspool in the south in the raddle pond that breeds them? What's the use in my persisting in my work, however, of telling the truth? A Jew carpet bagger, Ben De Lemos, is said to have landed in Alabama and convinced some colored people that, since emancipated, they should be-raptivated. He collected $1 c. head, The National Association, Democrat, and Republican themselves as "the new emancipators" and collecting $1 a head, gathered in $6,000 in the last few weeks, Yankee miquity! J.

Editor, Gazette - My Dear Friend: This may be somewhat of a surprise to hear from me in this locality. But I have just received a letter from my brother, Eddie, and he desired me to drop a letter to you. I could write you a very interesting letter, but it would neyer pass the censor, and I would get in trouble. Well, you know, I was always possessed of a roving disposition and have traveled all over the United States. The four years I spent in Kansas and Oklahoma were very rough, but the conditions I am enduring here cannot be compared with anything I have ever endured. I have no fear of facing the man on the other side of No Man's Land and fighting him, but it is the air raids and gas attacks which every on fear of me has inflicted on me. Man go over and fight. My first trip with a patrol, in No Man's Land, will never be forgotten. Words cannot express my feelings that night. I have a grand C. O. whom you know—Capt. Chas, Fillmore, formerly the ninth Ohio. I am well and in fine spirits. Must close, hoping to hear from you soon. Remember me to the Chaffins and Charlie Smith, I am. Sincerely yours, SUPPLY SERGT. LOUISE THOMAS Co. B. 369th U. S. R.

PRESIDENT PLEASED WITH GREAT CONFERENCE Warmly Commends the "Fine Philosophy of Democracy" Exhibited Special to The Gazette Washington, D. C.—President Wilson is greatly pleased with the great conference of our editors and other leaders of our thought and opinion, held in this city, June 19, 20 and 21, 1988. The Office of the Executive of the Nation in no uncertain terms warmly commends our press representatives for their timely emphasis of national unity on the vital issues involved in the war and aplaus the inspiring example set by them for all Americans who have at heart the welfare of the nation in its present crisis. The president's letter: The White House, Washington, D. C., July 31, 1918. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special assistant, War Department. Dear Mr. Scott: Your letter of June 26th has been called to my attention, and I am both interested and pleased with the report it gives of the meeting field in Washington by leaders of thought and opinion among the Afro-American citizens of the country. The problems considered by the conference of special importance to the people whom they represent, are grave and weighty, and the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the frank and calm consideration given to these matters. In the meantime it is cheering to see the philosophy of democracy, which is at this time the inspiration of the great effort of our country, was felt and expressed by these conferences as the dominating thought which ought to control all Americans in the present crisis. Cordially yours. WOODROW WILSON. Mr. Scott's assistants, in his voluminous war department work, are: Wm. H. Davis, Chas. A. Wilson and Chas. A. Webb, secretary and stenographers, respectively; and R. W. Thompson, the versatile Washington, D. C. correspondent of a number of race newspapers'. Lieut. Russell Smith, for 13 years a member of the 10th Calvary, has been detailed as commanding officer of the Washington Student Army Training Camp, just opened on the Howard University grounds. The camp is for the instruction of representatives of our colleges, to the number of 500, who will be given intensive training in military science and tactics for a period of forty-seven days, after which they will return to their respective institutions to train others in the work which they will be involved in, for the formation of a student army corps which will be advantageous to the national army when the young men are eventually called to the colors. Many of our schools are taking advantage of this training offered at Howard University. —Buy War Savings Stamps— COL. CHAS. YOUNG AND ACTIVE DUTY Washington, D. C.—The early recall to active duty of Colonel Charles Young, the 'hol of our young men of red blood and sturdy public spirit, also urged by the Great Race Conference, is before the War Department. It has become known that the Secretary of War from the very beginning has sympathetically considered the whole matter of utilizing the valuable military experience and services of Colonel Young, who, until his retirement some months ago, was actively identified with and one of the best drill masters and disciplinarians in the regular army.

C. P. through its secretary, announces that the name of two rian leaders and fifteen other participants in the mob which lynch-murdered the first two of the eleven victims of the five days lynching orgy, which took place in Brooks and Lowndes counties; Georgia from May 17 to May 22, were given to Gov. Hugh Dorssey of that state in person; Secretary of the N. A. A. P. who spent four days in south Georgia investigating the affair. A full report of his findings, which were of a sensational character, were at the same time placed before the governor. The summary of it which follows below states that eleven authenticated cases of lynching, instead of six as reported in the press at the time, were discovered by the investigator. The report of the wife of one of the first victims, which was most revolting and brutal, the eleven persons lynched met their fate as the result of mob frenzy, following the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer, and the wounding of his wife, on May 16. One of the men lynched is said to have stated to several persons, interviewed by Mr. White, that he alone did the shooting and that no others were implicated. Mr. White's findings were submitted to Gov. Dorssey, at the actor's request, July 11. He was appalled to the president, a few days ago. Mr. Turner's Death Horrible! Mary, wife of Hayes Turner, who was lynched because of "Unwise re Mr. Jefferson Coe of E. 74th St., this city, secured the employment of Mrs. Helen Hatcher, daughter of Detective and Mrs. Arthur McFauland, as assistant to the clerks in the shipping department of the Baum Ice Cream Coe, Scovill Ave. and E. 26th St. Hardly had Mrs. Hatcher started to work than a prejudiced forewoman went to the head bookkeeper, who hired Mrs. Hatcher, at Mr. Coe's request, and said she would not work with a colored girl. The head bookkeeper, greatly perturbed, went to Mr. Baum and told him what a woman would take out with her many other employees and thus greatly "hamper" the work and the business. Mr. Baum told him to let her do as she threatened to do and any and all others in his employ who wished to follow her, and he would get persons to take their places, that he wasn't going to dismiss Mrs. Hatcher to please the forewoman and that he did not propose to divide the control of his business with her or any or all of his prejudiced employees. That settled it! As it always does and always will. The forewoman quit but has not been missed as a more competent person took her place immediately. Mr. Baum is evidently a man! There is a way our people can be kind of his commendable stand for fairness and right and we ought not to be slow in showing it. If an additional incentive be necessary for us to do this, it can be found in the fact that Mr. Coe is a stockholder of the Academy, JOHN H. BURKE MR.

Gasoline was taken from the automobiles of the lynching party and poured on her clothing which was then burned from her person. "After her clothes had burned off she was disemboweled and and while still alive, was crushed by the heel of a member of the mob. The woman's body was riddled with bullets from high-powered rifles until it was unrecognizable. She was buried ten feet from the tree and at the head of her grave was placed a whiskey bottle with a cigar stump in the neck of it. A photograph of the grave as N. A. C. G. is in the possession of the邻居 told Mr. White, the investigator, that there were eighteen victims, but no more than eleven could be authenticated. More than 500 of our people have left the region since the outbreak so that a number who were said by acquaintances to have mysteriously disappeared could not be located nor their whereabouts ascertained, and of course are not included in the investigator's findings. Hundreds of acres of once productive hives are overrun with weeds and grass, and of course are not deserted by their former occupants, in the statements of the mobs that, "any Negro attempting to leave the region would be considered to be involved in the killing of Smith." AMERICAN WOODMEN GROWING FEMALE BAND PRACTICING Through the efforts of Deputies C. C. Cade and B. F. Kane, the local Camp of Woodmen has been organized and can boast of a membership of more than 125.

That is dependent entirely upon how important the "essentials," "non-essentials" and "all things" are, dear brother. prominent Democratic newspaper defends the administration against the charge of partisanship by calling attention to the appointments of Charles M. Schwab, Charles E. Hughes and one or two others to positions of responsibility. Strange defense, that. Schwab was appointed only after numerous unsuccessful efforts had been made to run the shipping board on a partisan basis, and after the American people would stand for it no longer. It was with great reluctance that the administration finally abandoned partisanship for efficiency in the shipping program, and it would not have acted then but for the persistent criticism which could not be stilled by any prospect of prosecution under espionage or sedition laws. The free press of the country is to be credited with the appointment of Schwab. PASTORS' NORTH OHIO CONFERENCE The pay of Major George W. Prioleau, chaplain of the 25th U. S. Inf., is $4,000 a year. He was a member of the North Ohio A. M. E. Conference many years ago, before joining the army. Rev. Prioleau is home from Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Hawaiian Territory, on two months' leave of absence, and desires The Gazette to notify the pastors of the conference that he will be glad to be with them to preach or lecture (without pay) while in this country. His address, for two weeks, will be Wilberforce, O. The major has been abroad and in the army service so very many years that a lecture by him would be a treat for any community. This is his last trip to Ohio as he will be retired in less than two years, when he expects to return to his home in Los Angeles, Cal., to remain there. He leaves for San Francisco, Cal., on Aug. 30, to embark for Honolulu to await orders for his regiment to sail for France and hopes that order will be issued by that time. In his most recent letter to his long-time friend, the editor of The Gazette, Chaplain Prioleau writes: "May you live long to do and dare for our race." OUR THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR With this issue "The Old Reliable" Gazette enters upon its thirty-sixth year, having been published every week on time since Aug. 25, 1883. A remarkable record for any publication! From the very beginning, it has been edited and manager by the writer who can hardly realize that so long a time "in the saddle" has elapsed. The Gazette's successful efforts to wipe out the remnants of Ohio's "Black Laws," years ago; to secure the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, are well known to our people, particularly those in Ohio. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people is also well known. One has only to recall the successful fights, led by The Gazette a few years ago, to kill the Ohio Assembly's infamous anti-intermarriage bill and to bar from Ohio the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation," to appreciate the full force of the preceding sentence. Personal interests have always been subordinated by The Gazette to those of our people. Its call to Afro-Americans, in season and out, is never to accept ministers who apparently had the tenacity to attend the affair. He drew a laugh from the audience, during his speech, when he said he was proud to belong to a race which produced such men as Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Councilman Tom Fleming. Some of the members of "Shiloh" are criticizing Fishback severely for attending the disgraceful affair. If our ministers show so little self and race-respect and real manhood, what can be expected from many of the members of the churches preside over? Lord, have mercy! nated by The Gazette to those of our people. Its call to Afro-Americans, in season and out, is never to accept anything in treatment, less than that due all citizens, without reference to race or color. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the north, we have always been unalterably opposed to a "doctrine of surrender" or conciliatory policy, and shall continue to be so. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country, and continuing to fight for until secured, ALL that is due all American citizens under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! The Gazette's firm adherence to principle, through all these years, is its best recommendation for greater support. To our faithful following—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean, and from the great lakes to the gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. Urge your friends and acquaintances to subscribe for The Gazette and materially assist to double its circulation by the first of the year. For all you have done in past years, we thank you, and again assure you of our thorough appreciation. The press bureau of color-line Luna park "slipped a coog" by sending a notice to the local daily papers, too early, last Saturday. It evidently intended its notice to appear in Monday morning's daily paper, and not earlier because it announced that, owing to "the bursting of the huge intake pipe in the bathing pool, Sunday evenings more than a million gallons of water were pumped out of Lake Luna's bathing pool." Unfortunately for the park management, the announcement appeared in the early edition of Sunday's Leader, which was being offered for sale on the streets as early as 7 o'clock, Saturday evening. This, of course, announced the bursting of the huge intake pipe at Luna park more than twenty-four hours before it is alleged to have taken place, and was therefore a "dead give-away." The closing of the pool to Negroes either unfamiliar with the color-line Luna park conditions, or so thoroughly surcharged with "jim-crowism" and a desire to make a little money out of their poor hard-working brothers and sisters that they did not care, meant absolutely nothing to the latter, apparently. O! the shame of it all! It is just such precedents as this that cause prejudiced whites in the community to multiply color-lines drawn against our people. Why the self and race-respecting and manly Afro-Americans of this community do not rise in their might and deal with that mercenary and "jim-crow" promoting Cleveland Association of Colored Men is a mystery to The Gazette, to say the least. Some of its members are also among those who have "boosted" the rents of certain properties in this city occupied by our people to such a high figure that at least some of the tenants of said properties are said to be forced to conduct illegal and even immoral places in order to assist in raising money to pay the high rental charges, so we are informed by at least one THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, AUGUST 10, 1918 DOINGS OF THE RACE Lena J.

Edwards of Wayne County, of which Goldsboro is the county seat. Alfred M. Pellham recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Central High School, Detroit. He was elected by the faculty as one of four out of a class of 215 to be members of the Honor Society. He received a unanimous vote and is our first to be given this honor. The War College (Division of Chief of Staff), Washington, D.C., recently witnessed a motion picture showing the 369th Infantry at work and at play near the western front in France. The 369th is the old 15th New York Regulars, Col. William Hayward, commander. At the Arthur McMullen Contracting Company, Hog Island Pa., Edward Burwell, as Afe-American captain, crew of eleven dromedar 220 sixty-five-foot piles in nine hours and five minutes, breaking the previous record of 165 piles. The total linear feet driven by Captain Burwell was 14,200. Commutation by the President of the death sentence imposed by a military court-martial on Private Oscar Valentine of Troop B, Ninth Cavalry, to twenty years' imprisonment at hard labor, was announced recently by the war department. Valentine was tried and convicted* in the Philippines, of having murdered Private Benjamin J. Wilson, also of the Ninth Cavalry. We applaud Dr. DuBois' patriotic desire to enter the government service for the period of the war. We do not wish to miss his life, and we are indebted that service—if the report of the alleged confession he made before the stormy Washington Association meeting, last week, is correct—New York News. DuBois wants the $4,000 a year salary as editor of the Crisis and the $2,400 a year captain's pay. Mrs. Marguerite E. Williams Scott, who recently received her M.D. from the Medical Department of Temple university, Philadelphia, was awarded the faculty prize for the highest general average during her four years' course; also the Practice of Medicine at the Othology Prize, and honorable mention in Pediatrics and therapeutics. President Wilson and his advisers are slowly but surely looking after the colored folks. They had to be hard pushed and we had to make a powerful lot of noise before this result was attained—Richmond (Va.) Planet, Rev. George Frazier Miller, our leading Brooklyn (N. Y.) pastor, Rev. George Frazier Miller, our C.P. in New York city recently for "trying to block a Dr. Leroy N. Bundy meeting" to raise funds. While we do not like to do it at this time, this is the time to make our wants known. The increase in wages for the laboring elements and the recognition of the labor interests have come as a war measure. Brethren, now is the accepted time. Now is the time to protest and now is the time to recognize the government at the hands of the government—Richmond (Na.) Planet. A Dallas, Texas, woman of the race has been informed by the head of the local branch of the government's War Risk Insurance Bureau, that she would receive $10,000 in insurance for the death of her son, who was killed in France. The insurance will be paid in 240 monthly installments of $87.50 each and she will get $20 a month in addition as long as she lives under the compensation law. The son was a member of a railroad construction gang and was killed while working. Barton F. Powell of Albany, Ga, who died recently, was for years in charge of improvement work on the Flint river, holding the place through several administrations. He also engaged extensively in farming. He owned one unbroken tract of 9,000 acres of land in Baker County and operated more than 200 plows on his farms. Mr. Powell was one of the largest, most successful Baker County, and owned considerable land in Dougherty County also, age 55. Dr. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, has been generally conceded to be facile princeps, easily chief of our radical leaders, as the booker T. Washington was conceded the same rank among the conservatives. Our own opinion has been and is that William Munroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian leader, dividing honors in this with Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette—Rev. John Albert Williams, editor of the Omaha (Neb.) Monitor. EVERYBODY READ THIS! If you are not satisfied with your glasses or vision see JOHN S. HALL at once.

Calls Answered Day and Night Hundreds of Our Boys Soon to Leave —All Anxious to Go Camp Grant, III., July 20, '18. Dear Editor: I shall never forget your patriotic spirit in sending me copies of your valuable paper, "The Old Reliable" Gazette. I hardly know what to do when I get to France, if I can't get your paper, I am leaving Saturday for some eastern embarkation port. All of us boys are anxious to make the trip. The battalion as a whole is considered one of the best units in the camp. We have boys in it from some of the leading colleges and universities of America. I trust that all mothers who have boys in the service will not worry as to how much being on us. We are doing much better than "we were in civilian life. For example: "many of good things to eat, "three times while people in civilian life can't hardly get what they want for love or money. I am thankful that I am in the army. I wouldn't take anything for the experience I have had since being in the service. If orders are not changed we will be in France by the second week in August and as soon as I make my landing I shall continue to write articles for "The Old Reliable" Gazette, as your paper is worth more than its weight in gold. My good friend and Masonic brother, D. D. Dancey of Youngstown, O., advised me to continue to do my best to write articles that would interest your readers. Trusting that you are well, I am, SERGT. H. W. JENNINGS, Co. A, 329th Q. M. C., N. A Rockford, Ill. JUDGE JOSEPH C. BLOCH A Real Friend of the Race Whether in the Ohio Legislature or Out—Vote for Him Next Tuesday There is not a candidate for a nomination at the primaries, next Tuesday, that has a better claim to the support of our voters than the Hon. Joseph C. Black, former judge of the Insolvency Court, and a judge of the Ohio Legislature in 1896 when the editor of the Gazette, also a member of that august body, was fighting the battle of his life to have enacted what is now Ohio's Anti-Lynching law, still the most effective bit of legislation of the kind in this country. Indeed, it is the only effective law against mob violence in the United States today with the exception of the Illinois law, which is largely a copy of our Ohio State law, Giulio Bloch, and the Hon. Charles Sargent, since deceased, were the only white members of the lower branch of the assembly who spoke in favor of the passage of the bill. He helped, too, in other ways to ask the editor of the *Gazette* to pass it. Don't you think he deserves our support, on Tuesday next, for renomination as a Republican candidate for the Legislature? We do. *Vote for Bloch* and tell all of our voters you meet to do so also.—Advt. STATE LABOR CONFERENCE Called By Representatives of the Government—An Organization Effected. Columbus, O.—The plans of the department of labor, Washington, D. C., call for a nation wide co-operation of Afro-American workers and their friends, in agriculture and industry, during these strenuous war times. In taking up this work the department desired, especially, to have the advice and help of representative citizens in state for the purpose of adapting general plans to meet, effectually, local conditions in different parts of Ohio. With this end in view, after consultation with representatives of the State Council of Defense and a number of citizens in different parts of the state, the department decided to call a conference here, Monday. Sessions were held in the senate chamber of the state house, from 10:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., and from 1:30 p. m. to 3:30 p. m., when an organization was effected. BISHOP-ELECT DEMBY My Dear Mr. Smith: This is to inform you that Father Demby will be conceived as "Suffragan Bishop of the Southwest Province" on the 24th of this month (D. V.) at St. Louis, Mo., probably in "All-Saints church." We would be glad if you could be present. Yours sincerely, MRS. E. THOS. DEMBY. "Jim-crow" cars cannot be placed in intra-state railroads or interurban lines in Maryland, the authorities there announce. 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 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 under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It is a good time to "get awake." Going After the Multitude Printing enters largely into the success or non-success of almost every business in these days of rapid progress. We could mention successful businesses without number which have been built up entirely by the free use of printer's ink. The return for such the outprint. Printed matter has revolutionized the world; it is large, the necessities of the people are great. The man who advertises will supply their wants.

Mrs. Narcissa Hunter, formerly of Cleveland, but now living in Chicago, wishes her many Cleveland friends to know that she was not the Mrs. Huntland, landlady because she will not associate with her and her roomers, several weeks ago. The competitive drill given recently at St Paul's A. M. E. Zion church between the Royal Calantah Drill Corps, No. 1, and the Star Calantah Drill Corps, No. 3, was won by the latter with Captain G.

On his next visit, he received $75, and the last time nearly $150—all for the same speech, "patriotic camouflage", the boys term it. The Ministers' Alliance brought him here, the last time. Mr. T. E.

The Afro-American candidates for state representative at the Republican primaries, Tuesday, are Harry E. Davis, S. E. Woods, Welcome T. Blue, B. C. McGinnis and Peter Boult.

The members of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the Caters' Association that persist in holding "money-making" affairs at color-line Luna park, each year, are now referred to as "Luna park bathing pool-jim-crow Negroes," doubtless because the park management refuses to permi them and their Negro patrons to "pollute" the water in the pool. Wasn't that "bursted pipe" publication in last Sunday's Leader (and Monday's Plain Dealer) rich? Mr. Charles Terry, who fell on the ice, last winter, breaking a bone in his shoulder, from which injury he suffered greatly for many months, was recently appointed commissary of the W. & L. E. Road.

Mr Terry's son is "somewhere in France." Mr. and Mrs. Phil S. Denne are spending their vacation with Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Neville in Geneva, O. If every Afro-American voter in this city and county will vote for Dr. Ellis A. Dale at the primaries, Tuesday, as they certainly should, he will be nominated the next Republican candidate for coroner. We have votes enough to do this. All is necessary is that our vote be cast for him—our only candidate for that position. Dr. Dale has lived in Cleveland, twenty-five years, is thoroughly competent to fill the position which an Afro-American should long ago have held. A Jewish-American, Dr. Simon has been coroner; an Irish-American, Dr. Burke, has been coroner; an American son has been coroner; German-Americans and about every other kind of a hyphenated American has been coroner of this county, except the Afro-American, and it is largely our own fault that this is true. Now "get busy" and see to it that Dr. Dale is nominated, as the Republican candidate for the position, on Tuesday next—Advt. Vote for Dr. E. A. Dale for coroner and B. C. McGinness for legislative representative. All things considered they are our best candidates.

Chickensman Randy met netted Dr. L. N. Bundy over $300 and Roscoe nearly $150. It was the latter's third appearance in this city to make the same speech, so we are informed. Rev. G. C. Fishback introduced Roscoe. The corner preaching in the 11th ward is being taken advantage of by "Negro" comedians, seeking an "easy living," who pose as "preachers" 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.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest.

Dr. Elbert Vincent, who was admitted to Bellevue Hospital, New York City, July 8, is the first Afro-American interne admitted to that and its allied hospitals. His admittance follows a recently announced change of policy for Bellevue.

There is no let up in the emigration of Afro-Americans from Colquitt county, Ga., to the large industrial centers of the north and east. Several parties came north from there last week and all told 50 or more left in ten days. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."-Abraham Lincoln. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, 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 Sumner.

Some settlers in this district, to be sure, have had enough capital to clear their farms up quick- ly despite the opposition of the pine stump, but a larger percentage of them are men and women who are trying to get a start with little money to assist them, Now comes Aladdin with his migie Jamp to assist the settler. In comes the magic process which can turn these stumps which have been the enemies of man for decades, into sali- ble products: The Norway pine stumps in this northern country are to be converted into turpentine, creosote, ‘wood stains, disinfectants, tree sprays. rheep and cattle dips, pine oils and pine tars. And the value of it all live not in the mere fact that commerce has found a means of making some thing valuable out of these blact:, grim stumps, but that it furnishes the settler with the means of clear- ing his land, turning his property into a real farm. Akeley, Minn,, is the center of the district which {s to furnish the norti- west with the model after which oth- er similar plants will be patterned. Over 50,000 acres of pine stumps in this district are under the contract of the firm, Hubbard county will long Wess the day that turned this plant her way, for it means that her latent farms will become real farms and that the amount of agricultural produce will double and redouble in the nevr future. ‘The method used in a combination ‘ot destructive and steam distillation. ‘The stumpa will be dynamited by sct- tlers on the land covered by contract. ‘Teams and derricks will then jerk the twisted roots from the ground and the stumps will be hauled to the cer: tral factory. Machinery will cut these stumps across the grain in‘o small pieces. These pieces will be placed in cars and run into big alr {ght retorts. Under these retorts fire will be started and kept burnine from twenty-four to thirty hours. In the end of the pine stump will be con- verted into’ so many products that it will rival the dairy cow. ‘Many different products are obtain- ed as the fire slowly heats the stumps. ‘As the vapor arises from the stenr- ing, cooking wood it is carried throurh. Jong pipes into a condenser and re- duced to liquid form. This is the erude product from which most of the hyprodnets are made when it is re- fined. The light oils from the crude distillate are made into impure light rosin spirits, destructive wood turpen- tine and pine oils. The heavy oi!s from the distillate are made into rosin oll, pitch and pine oils. The remain- der of the distillate is converted into acetate of lime and wood alcobol. ‘The tar runs out of the bottom of the air tight retort into a separate tantc and is later refined, The residue in the retort is a fine grade of cha-coal. ‘The distillation of pine stumps for ‘the extraction of turpentine is a pro- cess that is not altogether new in this country. The extraction of by-proit- wets of many kinds however, is gractically unknown in America. ‘Some of the European countries have plants that have operated successful- ly for many years. “It is said that conditions are more favorable for the manufacture of by-products from pine stumps in this country than in Europe. There {s little doubt that there is far more stump infested tor- ritory. It is estimated that there sre about 1,000,000 acres of such land in Minnesota alone. The United States department of agriculture thinks so well of the in- dustry that it has investizated every phase of it, preparetory to the fur nishing of information that shall lend to its general establishment in our own country. The government chem- ists place the cost of converting stumps into all by-products at from $5 to $10 a cord. The value of the vitimate products, in contrast, has heen found to range as high as £26. In a recent test with Norway stumps it was fovnd that ninety-four and x half cords produced staple products worth $4,369.95.

Skill. ble handiwork is quite interesting. The clay is first obtained from the low: lands overflowed by the Ohio River and washed by the waters of time un- Ul it has @ bluish appearance, and ox ly this particular kind, is used, as all others prove unsuccessful. It is haut ed by wagon loads and placed in a reservoir as it were, in which are large Knives which ent the clay and thoroly mix it. ‘The knives go round and round being turned by a horse at tached to a pole by means of harness and ropes, after tha fashion of out forefathers in the making of sorghum molasses. ‘The molds to burn the pipes in are also made here. The clay is then taken from the cellar in huge, compact bulks to an upper room and placed upon otled t- bles, where it is shaped and cut in Teng, round strips by knives and then cat into short round pieces, just the length of a pipe. ‘These pieces are then thrown into a pan containing a mixture of kerosene and machine oils and vigorously stirred until they be- come quite oily. From this they are taken to. the machine for shaping them, which re sembles a loom very much, and one by ene they are placed in @ groove in this machine and thence, by using the foot upon the pedal beneath, a tong fron rod attached to a wooden beam above is brought down upon this clay, this movement forming the cavity of the pipe and the smaller opening to admit the air when in use. A similar backward movement upon the pedal lifts the iron rod back to its place above, and the perfectly shaped pipe is then taken from the groove, with ‘the thumb and forefingers of the right jand and placed upon shallow, lons | boxes, which will hold 500. Care must ‘be taken in extricating the pipes from these grooves or a mashed finger $3 the result of the rod not being helt 'safely above by the downward mov “ment of the pedal beneath. the pines are in thelr’ most beau. “tiful state when placed upon these [drying boxes. ‘Thev are wet and glis- tening with oil and look to be highly varnished. If these boxes of newly made pipes are set out in the sun, where a harvest sun will dry them in | about two days fit for the kiln, where they are burned. In winter, however, they are dried in long, shallow tin pans by a hot fire over a lorg, ove.- shaped stove. Eight of these boards, containing 500 pipes each, is consia- ered a day's work, altho 6,000 and 8,000 are made by’ some of the men. ‘Phink of putting in and taking from ‘that ene groove, with one hand 10,000 ‘pipes daily and each one separate from the other! ‘Thean sun or fire dried (as the sea- son may be) pipes are all stacked in a room from which they are shoveleit with long narrow shovels, into molds and carried to the kiln, which is 1 large round affair with a furnace be- neath, and each mold of pines is shoy- ed into place. ‘The kiln is then clos- ed and contains 13,000 molds. ‘A steady fire is kept going until they are thoroly bumed. Two kilns ‘are burned monthly. After they ar? burned sufficiently and have become cooled they are thrown in heaps in the packing room ready for packing. ‘The pine lumber for the boxes is ship ned in the required lengths and ‘widths and you may see bending over the benches, busily at work, shaping and constructing these little boxes, more than one fair face—wives of the iaborers—a partnership affair, as one of them laughingly stated. Each box contains one hundred pipes and the stems for them, the laiter being ob- tained from the cane brakes and fur- nished by the company in thoir re quisite length, Tier upon tier of these ‘packed ‘boxes stand ready for shipment. ‘They are hauied to the whart where boats land, just in sight, and from there are sent to ali parts of the United States and foreign countries.

Neighbors and friends helped him and somehow he pulled through that dreary year. ‘The landlord was not a wealthy ‘man; he only looked so. He was “property poor.” He owned about fit ty houses and owing to a depreciation an real estate values and general bus- ines stagnation was unable to sell his real estate and lived on his rents, He ‘was, on a larger scale, in almost az bad a condition as his tenant. For two years he paid no interest on the mortgage on Smith's house and the taxes were in arrears for over three years. A savings bank held the mortgage and was as patien: with the landlord as the landlord was with Smith. ‘Therefore the owner of che house was not Smith’s benefacto- but the bank. The bank carried the joad which the sickness of Smith brought to the landlord, and that 1s what banks are for. Likewise in the matter of taxes. ‘The city paid its bills from tex money gathered from property owners Tike the landlord. But when Smith paid no rent and the landlord paid nc taxes, the city had to go to some bank and borrow until the landlord paid up. ‘And so another bank came to the r=. cue and saved both Smith and his landlord.

STAIRS SOBER DRUNKARDS — Famous London steps at Wapping Served 044 Purnose ‘The famous “Wapping Old Stairs,” of the ballad still exist though in a sadly dirty and: neglected condition, the stairs being covered with green slime and the refuse of the tides. ‘They are seldom, it ever, patronized by boatmen, though members of the ‘Thames police find it convenient oc- casionally to utilize the old time land ing place. ‘The little public house, the town of Ramsgate, abutting on the stairs, with its quaint low win dow sill, exists, ‘The old stairs at Wapping station, to which reference has been made in the newspapers are the original stairs which led down to the entrance of the Thames tunnel, constructed by the famous engineer, Tzambard Brune? between the years 1824-48, When the tunnel was used for foot passengers, stalls of all descriptions were ranged all its length, and fairs were often gol up in order to swell the funds of the Janguishing enterprise. The late Queen Victoria and the Prince con- sort patronized one of these ventures. ‘The present station stands imme- diately over the site of the old en- trance to the tunnel, and the stair. case has been used by the railway passengers ever since its first use was superseded. It was a common prac: tice to turn out drunken men at Wapping station in order that they might be sobered by a climb up its ninety-four steps—Tit-Bits, WARS ON ELECTROLYSIS derground Structures. A paper giving a brief general state- ment regarding electrolysis and cor- rosion, and presenting a detailed dls- cussion of the various methods of electrolysis mitigation that have beea proposed or tried for protecting m- derground structures, has just been issued by the United States bureau of standards. Methods of mitization are treated under two heads, namely, those applicable to pipes and those ap- plicable to the railway return system. ‘The conclusion is drawn that while certain of the methods applicable to pipes, particularly pipe drainage ard insulating joints, are often valuable, they should in general be used as auxiliary measures only, the chief re: iiance being placed on reducing. poter- tial drops in the railway return ‘9 reasonably low values. Where return feeders are necessary for accomplish: ing this, insulated feeders are prefer able, because more economical. In the last chupter there is preseat: ed a discussion of the principles on which regulations concerning electro: lysis mitigation should be bused, and the responsibilities of owners of un: derground utilities as well as of the railway companies and emphasized, LUCKY STONES IN MAIL Odd Gems of All Kinds are Sent by Postoffice.
