MEDINA.—A cutting affray took place on the home of James Mattison, resulting in serious injuries to Peter Anderson, the victim, and the binding over to the grand jury of Gus Smallwood on a charge of cutting to wound, the bond being fixed at $500. Part of Anderson's left ear was severed and a gash cut along the side of his face nearly to the mouth, the wound requiring fourteen stitches. The trouble was the culmination of a wrangle between Anderson's wife, Anna, and Mattison's wife, Eanna, over the division of church subscriptions.

Government Probe Election Riots. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Federal district attorney for Florida has been instructed by the department of justice to investigate election riots and lynch-murders at Ocoee, FI., last month, to determine whether any federal statutes have been violated. The Noted Afro-Cuban Violinist Died in Paris. HAVANA, Cuba.—"La Antorcha" has just published a grand tribute to Cuba's immortal violinist, Jose Silvestre White Laffite. Calcagno's Biographical Dictionary, New York City, says of him: "Jose White, the name by which he was universally known, was born in Matanzas, Cuba, Jan. 17, 1836 of poor parentage. At the age of nineteen he could play sixteen different instruments. After showing his home folks what he could do in a concert with Gottachkul, he left for France in 1856 from which time, until his recent death in Paris, he ranked among the master musicians of the world. "The brown of skin he won undying fame as a violinist and in the city of Matanzas, left a never to die loving esteem and a comforting legacy in lands and houses." "Jose White" was, too, well-known in America as a violinist soloist, twenty and more years ago. Likewise, Jose Brindis de Salas. APPOINTED ATTORNEY GENERAL The British West Indies Again Honored With a First-Class Appointment KINGSTON, Jamaica, B., W. L.—Lord Milner, secretary of state for the colonies, has appointed the Hon. Rector A. Josephs, B. A., LL. B., K. C. assistant attorney-general of Jamaica, to act as attorney-general of British Guiana for two years, and the appointment will probably be made a permanent one at the expiration of this period. Mr. Josephs was educated at York Castle, and at Cambridge and London Universities. Winning the Jamaica scholarship in 1891, in the same year he entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge. At Cambridge he had a distinguished career, capturing several prizes in law, At London University the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn called him to the English Bar in 1895. On several occasions he acted as attorney-general of Jamaica. He was president of the Kingston's Citizens Association; member of the Schools Commission; D. G. R. of Masons. He is an adjunct of the Jamaica Reserve regiment, and a member of the Royal Jamaica Yacht club. Not only the colored people of the island, but all Jamaica is proud of Hector Josephs. Many competent to judge say he is the most brilliant lawyer of the West Indies since Sir Conrad Reeves, our first attorney-general of this island). 2 Prof. W. S. Scarborough. WILERFORCE, O.-Dr. W. S. Scarborough will leave for John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., Dec. 26, to attend the annual meeting of the American Philological and the American Archaeological Associations of which he is a member. He will return Jan. 1, to attend the inauguration of the governor and on the 60th will return to New York City. He will attend a dinner at the New York Hotel, given under the auspices of the American College Association. He is also a member of the New York Academy of Sciences and its Affiliated Societies whose annual dinner will be clubed. N. Y. City, Dec. 20. Dr. Scarborough, former president of Wilberforce University, is a member of 15 learned societies in this country and in Europe, and votes annually on the personnel of the instructors of schools at Rome, Italy, Athens, Greece and Jerusalem under the direction of the American Archaeological Institute. CORNELIUS McDOUGALD, ESQ. Former Assistant District Attorney Slaps an Assemblyman's Face— Does a Good Job, Too. NEW YORK CITY.—Counsellor C. McDougald, who was a deputy assistant district attorney of New York City, several years ago, entered the county clerk's office, recently, and was accosted by an ex-assemblyman (white) who apparently had more mouth and "brass" than sense. In a very nasty manner, said assemblyman, who was very sore over his defeat, Nov. 2, 2010, is alleged to have said to Mr. McDougald: "Why didn't you get your people out to vote for me on election day?" To this the attorney replied: "I did everything I could to defeat you." Then the assemblyman is said to have shouted, in rage: "Yes, you and the other 'niggers' defeated me." Then it happened! McDougald did the proper thing—whaled away and gave the "windy" one a step in the mouth that he will remember until his last day. That nasty insult and word was too much for Cornellius W. McDougald. Esq. as it should for ALL of us. More power to him and his manly kind of Afro-Americans. In size and appearance, we understand. McDougald is just what his names suggests—almost a perfect specimen of vigorous manhood. Afro-American Orators. We were pleased to note that Mr. F. E. Corbie, a colored freshman in the College of the City of New York, won the Board of Trustees' Prize, the highest award in the orations contest and that he is also the captain of the Freshman debating team. Mr. Corbie has but maintained the tradition which was established by Riordan one of the Revocode prizes at Harvard in the late sixties, by Judge Terrell and Dr. Dubie, when they represented Harvard as commencement orators, and by Clement G. Morgan when he startled the country by being elected class orator at Harvard in 1890. Since that colored men have represented Harvard as class orators, and as commencement orators and as debaters. At Yale they have won oratorical prizes in the Divinity School, Law School and College, have won debating prizes in the Divinity School and represented Divinity School at the Department. In Dartmouth and Rutgers colleges, colored graduates have won oratorical honors. And at Columbia a young Zulu won the Curis Prize Medal in an orations contest. The total list would run up to nearly two score.—Negro World, N. Y. City. Editor Dar Bro. Smith—I am sending her with check for two dollars in settlement of my subscription for another year.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A QUEER START That Will Need Everybody's Money Long Before It Is A Success, If It Ever Is At the Dec. 4, 1920, meeting, in the Union Eldg., A. D. Nims, sales director of the Continental Grocery Stores Co., a new business enterprise, is said to have announced that there would be a meeting at the Cleveland Athletic club on the following Monday evening and that ALL were invited to attend it. In the room were stock-saleeners and a few prospective store-managers. J. A. Logan, a salesman, says he (to make sure) asked Nims where the meeting was to be held, and that the latter replied, saying "Colored people are not admitted to the C.A.C." Logan then says he said that if that was the case, it would settle his connection with the Continental Grocery Stores Co.; that when he purchased stock in he had asked if there was to be any discrimination on the account of color or race and that a man by the name of Smith, a salesman of the company, who had asked him to sell stock and whom he told to confer with the officers of the C. G. S. Co. relative to discrimination, had assured him (Logan) that there would be none. Mr. Logan says he then took up the matter of attending the meeting with President Rideneau at E. Wagner, a director, of Smith, a S. Co. They told him, says, that the arrangements for the meeting were made before his connection with the company and before there was any thought of taking any Colored people "But since he (Logan) was a member, they offered him an apology for what had been said by Nims and assured him that there would be no meetings at the C. A. C. after Dec. 23, '20. Nevertheless, on the advice of friends, Mr. Logan attended the meeting at the C. A. C., as he had a perfect right to do, where, after Announcement is made of the plans of a number of local men to operate and build a fine, new ball park during the coming season with scheduled games under the jurisdiction of President Rube Foster of the Western Circuit of the National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs. Cleveland, widely known as a good ball town, has long desired a high class George J. Tate team and apparently the coming season is to see the hopes of ardent fans realized. The Tate Stars Baseball Co. has been incorporated with a capital stock of $25,000 by a group of far-sighted Coleman A. Lewis young men who realize the great possibilities in this wonderful recreational field. This corporation has acquired title to property for a park, four and a half acres of valuable real estate, and will erect thereon a IN UNION IS STRONG COPY FIVE CENTS R LINE R START LOCAL BUSINESS OPRISE body's Money Long Before ess, If It Ever Is access being seated for about 20 minutes, listening to general personal conversation of no moment from a C.

Co., had asked him to tell him (Mr. Logan) that there was no discrimination against Colored people in the C. A. C. and that they were served there; that he (Mr. Logan) should not have come to the meeting because he knew the white people (in the meeting) did not want him there." Thereupon, Mr. Logan returned to the meeting and feeling that he was unwelcome, the tolerated by officers, co-workers, fellow salesmen and prospective storemanagers of the Continental Grocery Stores Co., he left. The following morning at the company's offices, he noticed that his name as a stock sales agent was removed from the weekly bulletin board which had been posted the day before. The next morning, he was refused circulars and cards, and says he knew that his career as a sales-agent of the C. G. S.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1920 Five whites and one "Negro" were killed in the Independence, Kan. riot, of last week. Thus were the Chicago and Washington "experiences" repeated for the benefit of white mobocrats in that state, and the rest of the North, who refuse to learn the "lesson" and that is that our people in this section of the country will not tolerate the lynch-murdering of our people. Because of Argentina's withdrawal from the league of nations, withdrawal of financial support from Argentina by the bankers of Great Britain, France, and the United States, was recently suggested in important banking quarters in Wall street, according to press reports. That is sufficient proof, if such were needed, that the international bankers are the ones who were so insistent on the United States entering the league. Uncle Sam was to be their insurance collector in addition to being saddled with all the risks. It was a great little plan but we saw through it. Ralph Wilgera Tyler of Columbus has "bobbed up" again with his political "rot" letters to race papers, praising himself and covertly attacking those he dislikes, the editor of The Gazette among the number. The Washington Eagle and Bee ought to be above publishing his vaporings. He rarely ever signs his name to any of his letters, thus hiding behind the editors of papers who publish them. Tyler is "a dead political duck." Won't our confreres let him "stay dead and rest in peace"? He never had any real status in the Republican politics of Ohio and now it looks very much as if he never will have. The Democratic press is busily circulating the prediction that the Republican Congress will not get the appropriation bills passed by March 4, the day of adjournment. Well, if the bills are not passed by that date, the responsibility will lie with the Democratic Departments which have demanded a billion dollars in excess of the costs of the government during the past fiscal year. Moreover, if the Republicans fail to get the appropriations pared down by adjournment day, they will do no worse than did the Democratic Congresses when they had also a Democratic Executive to co-operate with them. Dispatches from London tell of rapidly growing unions of the middle classes, people who are not classed as union laborers or as capitalists. They represent what might be called consumers, although, of course, all labor union members and capitalists are also consumers. The "middle classes" are those whose interests are identical with what might be designated "the general public" as distinguished from special interests. Organized labor on the one hand and organized capital on the other are always seeking special favors, and, because of organization, are often able to secure advantages from which the "middle classes" suffer. It is to defend themselves against injustices that the "middle classes" are organizing in England. Among the objects of the organization are, to create an effective bulwark against the excessive and repeated demands of labor, which merely enlarge the "vicious circle" of costs of living, and to organize the mass of the taxpaying citizens for self defense in the event of strikes by putting them in a position to maintain essential public utility services such as transport, supply of coal, lighting, etc. But one of the most important of the benefits to be gained through an organization of the "middle classes" is in the presentation of facts and arguments to the legislative body in support of the views and interests of the general public. Such an organization would represent general welfare against special or class interests. While there is much that could be accomplished by a middle class union in the United States, formed along the lines of the British unions, it is not likely that any such organizations will be created. Already there are numerous farmers' organizations which present the views of the agricultural producers and the numerous local citizens' associations speak for the general welfare of their communities. The elections in the United States last November were a pretty clear demonstration that the "middle classes" are not only opposed to class government but will rebuke any attempt to sacrifice general welfare for class interest. The "middle classes" control the elections, and therein lies their power. The disfranchisement issue is up to Congress, Congressman Tinkham, of Massachusetts, asserts that, unless Congress squares with the fourteenth amendment, he will bring it to test the constitutionality of the next Congress. The Hon. Joseph C. Manning, in 1916, took the position in the public prints that the nation then had an illegal and unconstitutional Congress. He then pointed out that representation had not been reduced although the suffrage rights of the people of southern states had been abridged and that delegations then in Congress were there unconstitutionally, Congressman Tinkham is now pressing this point which Mr. Manning has emphasized for years! The issue is up to the Republican Congress and it can not be avoided or "side-stepped." For the past two years, particularly, Mr. Manning has devoted much time in bringing this southern situation, through personal talks, to the attention of senators and representatives in Washington. The Gazette has been glad to encourage and cooperate with Mr. Manning in his work, which seems now to be coming to fruition. Now is the time to write to members of Congress urging action. Send a letter to your Congress, urging that this issue be met. Either a law to enforce honest elections in the South or an act reducing representation must be enacted. One or the other will be done. PEOPLST AGAINST WEONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes co-wards 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 guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —File Wheeler Wilcox. MERRY XMAS from LEWIS 3113 CENT LADIES' and GEN Great Reduction Overcoats. Phone C DR.

To get an idea of the nature of this feartul energy, consider radium. Ra- dium is an element that is disintegrat- ing, shooting off particles, giving up atomic energy.

A radium atom, it is said, is like a two-pounder firing a 199-pound shot. ‘There is a powerful reeoil after each shot. It a pound of radium had started In the year 1 A. D. it would now be about half gone. And yet from cach grain of radium there are thrown off over 2,000,000 “alpha particles” every sec: ond. The heat developed, naturally, is enormous. A grain of radium, {t has been calculated, will melt one ani one-huif times Its own weight In toa every hour, and the process goes on for more than 2000 years. ‘The atom has been called a minia- ture solar system by Sir Oliver Lodge. There 1s a cel pgiens with a ro volving system of electrons which aro alike but of-differett ‘numbers in all substances. The atom is abcut 100,- 000° times as large as the electron. No-one knows what this nucleus or central sun is, but since every atom Is made up of such a nucleus with electrons revolving around it at stu- pondous epeed it can be seen that it must contain enormous stores of energy. All the high explosives used in the great war were not more ter- rifie in their possibilities than the atoms in the human body. But how to unloose and control this terrific energy 18 a problem that remains to be solved. Wet With Tears. This book is damp.

FIGURES LEAVE DIAL. , Curious Effect in Dark Room With Luminous Dial. A curious effect may be noted if a watch with a luminous dial be moved slowly in the plane of the dial in a room {iluminated ofly by red rays, such as a photographer's dark room, The figures seem to leave the dial and lag behind, it as the watch is moved to and fro. This effect is most pronounced when the red light is properly adjusted according to the brightness of the ulminous fixures ang when the eye has become fully ad fusted to the light (07 FULLY OccUPIED. amr ' “How are things going these days?” asked the washing machine agent who visited the bamlet, now and again. “Finer than frog hair!" replied the landlord of the tavern at Grudge. “Business is 80 lively and everybody so busy that now'days hardly ever more than a dozen fellers gather around a dog Sght, unless, of course, there are. more than two dogs In it” Baa Y Zee he: Be A a9 el ON Be as H Pl.
