Lexington, N. C.—The "other side" of the Varner-Mellary case is being told. Mrs. Florence C. Varner (white) wife of the editor who alleges that Baxter Mellary, prominent and wealthy local Afro-American and high Mason, alienated her affections, has filed in the federal court at Greenboro a complaint against Varner alleging that he "abandoned her and willfully and maliciously turned her out of doors, and by cruel and barbarous treatment endangered her life and offered her such indignities as to render her condition intolerable and her life burdensome." Wants Part of Estate. Wants Part of Estate. The court is asked to allot to her "a reasonable subsistence" from the estate of Varner and claim is laid to the property, in this city known as the Varner building, which is worth $50,000. This suit is Mrs. Varner's reply to the sensational proceedings at Lexington, last August, when H. B. Varner (white) instituted divorce proceedings against his wife and at the same time started suit for $100,000 against McRary for alienation of her affections. Friends of McRary, when first informed of the charge, declared it was a frame-up and asserted it was a scheme to get control of McRary's wealth. Mrs. Varner brings suit in the federal court as a citizen of the state of Utah, where, she declares in the complaint, she was sent by her husband or his friends. Spirited From City Mrs. Varner branded the charges brought by her husband against McRary as without foundation and blamed his friends for adding him in his notorious scheme. She says she was denied the right to see her husband after he made the charges connecting her with McRary, and that she was fraudulently induced to leave Lex- The above is another portrait of a group of newspaper men, mostly editors who gathered in St. Louis, last fall at the great Poro College Annex opening exercises.

When she reached that city Mrs. Varner was spirited away to Salt Lake City, Utah, and told that her husband would not see her. Denies Divorce Charge. The charges in the divorce suit are flatly denied. It is alleged that on the night of Aug. 9, Mrs. Varner went to the moving picture show owned by her husband, according to her custom when he was away, got the receipts of the box office and returned home. She was admitted to her residence by Miss Annie Miller, a servant. Within a few minutes Fred Q. Sink (white) came to inform Mrs. Varner "that she was in all kind of trouble," which she took to mean that her husband had met with an accident. "Sink asked her if McRary was in the house. She told him that as far as she knew McRary was not there, but sometimes came there to visit the servant, Miss Miller, and to bring game, fruit and vegetable to Varner. McKary Was Not in the Cellar A search of the premises failed to disclose McKary's presence. Mrs. Varner says that after this action on the part of Sink it dawned upon her that her husband was under the impression that McKary was coming to the home to visit her. The woman denies that she over, held, privately, conversations with McKary and that she had ever been in his company alone. She said Varner often phoned McKary and thanked him for sending game to the house. Persons here are unable to understand the man's attempt to slander his wife, and to get control of McKary's wealth, who, it is said, had financially aided Varner, in business ventures.

The Quality Amusement Corporation, which is directing and routing the company, has gone to large expense to rent the pretty and cosy playhouse, The Globe Theater, that the people of Cleveland may have an opportunity to see this wonderful production. Every one can feel assured of a warm welcome. "MY FRIEND FROM KENTUCKY," the clever comedy with music and a story, is well known to the theater-going public as the most sensational of years; book lyrics and music by "the late" J. Leubrie Hill.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Will Afro-Americans Join the Soviets In America?—Injustice Will Drive Races Together; Says Dr. Byrd The introduction of a bill to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution at this short session of Congress was a mistake. The Republican party is not going to pass such a bill until votes and figures compel them! There is undivided responsibility when the next Congress comes into being. Any legislation the Republican party desire to enact may then be "put over." When the next Congress comes into being, it will not be easy to put over the measure that will put our race or equality with others so far as voting is concerned in the South. The forcing of this measure must come from our votes in the North, East and West where Congressmen must fail of election if they shirk their responsibility. White men have been cowards in this matter. Race prejudice has caused the Republican party and Democratic party to nullify the Constitution rather than give people in the South what is due them. White men have given to the South induce influence in the affairs of the nation because they were too immature and cowardly to give every race in America the rights due them. When the franchise is restored to our people of the South it will be an accomplishment, second only to the emancipation obtained by reason of the Civil War. The Republican party has the power now to do whatever it has the moral backbone and the moral conscience to do. We are contending for the enforcement of the Constitution because it is the organic law of this nation and without this we are no nation. When any portion of it is nullified intentionally, the entire instrument becomes inane and useless. A southern white man is no better nor worse than any other man. He is entitled to enjoy only the privileges of an American citizen and equally with him is every colored man entitled to enjoy the same. To deny the latter this right is but the entering wedge to deny many other men the same privileges and rights. Our votes in pivotal states must count. We must know the strength of the Republican party in every congressional district. We must know what power our vote has to influence the election in every district. Our enemies' Republican or Democrat, must be defeated! We must enter combinations with other races in order to obtain what we want. We must put the church of America on record touching this constitutional right of every race. The newly enfranchised white women must be called upon to use their moral powers and voting strength to give to every race what they desire. Congressmen at Washington are known to dodge any measure that calls for real manhood and courage. What we are determined to get now are equal rights with the franchise and equal participation in the government, with all races, based only upon our voting strength. We serve notice upon the Republican party, our party, that it must give us relief. Everything we know to be of use to us in this fight, we shall use it. We not money we crave but the right to be considered by America as men and women, the equals of any other set of men and women in matters touching the law and the government. No living American must be able to use the law against me without my having speedy redress, and for his misuse of the law he must be punished. To this fight we dedicate ourselves and all that we have, and in this fight, if we die, we die with the consciousness that we gave our lives for freedom, without which life is empty and is not worth living. In fighting, however, let us be resourceful and strategic. Let us make men our friends by the same advocacy of the right which all fair-minded men and women must concede. We are going to win in this fight. A temporary defeat is the assurance of our ultimate victory. Will the Colored Race Join the Soviets? Many people are asking this question: Will the colored people be fertile soil for Sovietism in America? Before answering this query one should first clearly understand Sovietism. The questioners are asking, will the colored race join with other dissatisfied races in America in opposing the government as run by América now? That depends. The world knows that America is unjust to our people in the administration of its government. The most humiliating thing that occurred during the late war was an appeal by President Wilson to this country to desist from lynching and mob-rule, for every act did but weaken us and on the other hand strengthened the opposition. For sometime this appeal was heeded. Everybody hoped for the Negro and in speaking to him said, "our country." But as soon as the war ended the wicked wretches began the American attitude by saying this was "a white man's IN UNION IT IS STRONG GLE COPY FIVE CENTS South LONG FIGHT! art It At This Session Congress ns Join the Soviets In justice Will Drive Races Says Dr. Byrd country" and to that end certain sections of this county have bent their energies ever since. The Democratic government at Washington is the citadel of our oppression. The capital of the nation tells to the world that America is a lie and wicked hypocrite when she advocates "self determination by all races." America in the administration of her government scruples not at crucifying our people. The federal administration now has never intended to deal squarely with us as it does with other races. The courts of the land have never intended to render justice to our race as they have to the other race. Almost every decision rendered where a colored person was concerned, the prejudice of the white race was taken into the decision. The public conveniences and civilities that all races should have, the white race that is running the government has not intended and does not intend to give our race equality with their own race. If our race should join any other races seeking justice, it should not be blamed for so doing. Clearly it has been shown that the white race in America has only crumbs of justice to our race and then only, as a rule, when they were forced to do it. The government of America is primarily administered for the good of the white race. And not for the whole white race either, but for those who may be in the combine. We hope our race will always be loyal to the constitution, but so long as this constitution is interpreted and applied by white men, it is a question as to whether they should be loyal to the interpretation. The many dissatisfied races constitute the volcano of America over which our country is placed. There are Soviets in this country because they have no confidence in the unjust administration of the taws of this country. The number is growing. Colored men have been dissatisfied and are growing more and more restless every day. Whether they will join the army of the other discontented, remains to be seen. If this government will be just toward our race, it can depend upon the continued loyalty and fidelity of the race in peace and in war. There is nothing too sacred for the race to give its country which is loyal to it. It is only a slave that will fight for a country that is crushing the life out of him. It depends upon the administration of the federal government, whether our race will take to Sovietism or not. No set of rulers can be more unjust to us than what American rulers have been. Give the Colored race the constitution enforced, as it is written, and Soviets will have no chance. U. S. "Democracy" Puzzles French. PARIS, France.—In the chamber of deputies recently during a debate on Algeria, Deputy Andre Berthon said he regretted that the nations had not rallied to the doctrines of President Wilson. "He ought to have commenced by regulating the question of the blacks in the United States," interjected Deputy Molinie. "There is no such question among us." "There also is in America a certain imperialism," M. Barthon replied. "I was pained during the war at seeing (southern) American officers refuse to salute black officers who were fighting in the same cause for civilization and justice." The Death Penalty Asked! THE DEATH PENALTY ASSKER. CHICAGO, Ill.—Echoes of the "Abyssinian" outburst of June 20, last, were awakened, last week, when Assistant State's Attorney Daniels asked the death penalty for Grover C. Redding and Oscar McGavic, the two alleged ringleaders of color in the affair. Others on trial for participation in the outburst which resulted in the death of two white men at 35th St. and Indiana Ave. are: Anderson McGavic, Sam Tapp, Henry Lee, Edward Rush, James Briggs, Dennis Brown and Allan Willis. The defendants are on trial before Judge Kersten, of the Criminal Court. Excitement bordering on a riot prevailed throughout the city, when the two men were killed in an alleged attempt to prevent the burning of an American flag by fanatical enthusiasts who styled themselves "Abyssinians."

SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1921 When a Republican House of Representatives cuts in half the demands of a Democratic administration, it is easy to determine who are the true friends of economy in government. It is noticeable that the Treasury Department has manifested increased interest in negotiations for the collection or refunding of our foreign credits since the newspapers began discussion of the inactive policy. Howard University, Washington, D.C., will only get $164,000 this year, as against $243,000 for the year 1920, the sunday civil-bill reported to the House taking off $79,000. Freedman's Hospital is to get $115,000, an increase of $12,500. The provision is $69,990 less than asked for. A startling story of peonage (slavery) in the Georgia town of Monticella with colored men in the cotton fields whipped by overseers armed with guns, is the story told by Will Thomas, who escaped at night, Jan. 4, 1921, walking twenty-five miles to the nearest city. Hale, active and hearty at 81 years, John H, Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, celebrated his birthday, Jan. 7, surrounded by his family and friends. He fought with the Union army and at the age of 50 established the Afro-American, which is regarded as one of our leading weekly newspapers. The Navy Department was able to buy coal at less than $4.50 per ton at a time when the general public was paying more than three times that figure, and while the Department of Justice was apparently unable to find anything materially wrong with the fuel situation. The Wilson administration has never let its right hand know what its left hand was doing. Tulaa, Okla. county's oldest resident, Elijah Clark, who says he is nearly 102 years old, is thinking of getting married again. While Elijah and his bloodhound and 200 chickens are apparently happy and contented together, the old man says that he pines for the companionship of a person to "fuss aron" wid." He has been married three times and has his third set of teeth. U. S. "democracy," when our people are directly concerned, often "puzzles" other than the French. At such times it is libel or rather slander to term it "democracy." And there was much of it in France and other European countries (wherever our soldier boys and prejudiced southern Americans mingled) during the World War. In the face of this, President Wilson went abroad to those countries "preaching." Lord, have mercy! None other than a southerner would have had the "brass" to do it. Atty. Wm. H. Boyd, former assistant director of law of this city, was reported by the Cleveland News as using the derisive and insulting term "coon" in telling a story while making his closing argument in the McGannon trial, recently. We have known Mr. Boyd well for many years and did not believe that he had been correctly quited. Voluntarily, he has furnished us with a copy of the court record which shows that he did not use the objectionable term and also proves that at least one "cracker" reporter is still employed by that paper whom its managing editor ought to "tame" or "fire." Discussing the wool feature of the agricultural emergency tariff bill, Senator Reed Smoot of Utah declared that there is now in the United States a sufficient supply of wool to last two years, and 20,000,000 pounds of foreign wool on the way. "The further influx of low-priced wool will be prevented by this measure," he declared. "There is less than 90 cents worth of wool in a suit of clothes. If high clothing costs are to be lowered, it will not be accomplished by lowering the price of wool. Nothing can save the wool growers in this country. They are ruined today. What we want is a measure to create a certain amount of confidence in those in the industry." Eight years ago, when the Democratic Congress was discussing the tariff, some of the Western Democratic Senators justified their votes for free wool by asserting that there was a world shortage and that the American farmer need not fear foreign competition. Most of the Democrats who voted in accordance with that theory have been retired by the votes of their constituents. It is truthfully remarked by the Kansas City Star that the United States stands ready to confer with European nations on any problem of direct concern to this country. What the United States objected to was binding itself to a solemn obligation to interfere in European affairs which do not affect us either directly or indirectly and to invite European and Asiatic nations to interfere in matters pertaining only to the Western Hemisphere. The United States proposes to keep out of world affairs with which it has no concern. When international difficulties arise which do affect the United States, we shall not consider ourselves guilty of interference if we assert and defend our rights regardless of the geographical location of the trouble. But the United States desires to be free to act in each particular instance according to the facts as we see them and in accordance with our own judgment of the merits, and not in compliance with the decision of other nations having a selfish interest to promote. CONSTANT MENACE OF DEFEAT! That is what Rhode Island's leading Attorney terms Disfranchisement— His open letter to Hon. G. H. Tinkham. My dear sir; I thank you very much for your telegram of Dec. 31, 1920, stating that the Census Committee will hold a further hearing on Jan. 4, 1921. I should like very much to be present personally and assist you in your very laudable effort to secure a proper apportionment act. Not knowing about the impending sessions of the committee, I assigned cases for hearing in court this coming week, and with other engagements, I feel I cannot come to Washington and appear before the committee. I accordingly wrote the committee the other day, and sent you copy of the letter. I should judge from the press that the action of the recent Republican caucus on this subject was based upon the supposed expedition of not offending the southern white vote. This vote, about which some Republicans are so tender, is a Democratic vote and not a Republican. The Republican white vote is by by one expedient or another suppressed, counted out or frightened away from the polls. One might as well omit to ask the police to arrest a burglar for fear of offending the criminal. As long as this absolutely unfair condition of misrepresentation exists, the constant menace of possible defeat hangs over the Republican party. The spectre of "Negro domination" is purely a subterfuge. The south remains Democratic by fraud, but the fraud would be impotent if the Republicans did their duty instead of coddling it any further. At the hearing so far I note that the southern Democratic representatives engaged in their oldtime bluster and sought to evade the issue by talking about the courts. Under the federal constitution the two houses of the Congress, are the judges of the qualifications of their members and not the courts. It is not conducive to the orderly administration of justice to pay any attention to a criminal who simply raves at the court. Trusting that your efforts will meet with success; I have the honor to remain. Nery respectfully yours, William M. P. Bowen. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My car is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart: It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To suffer wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, OHIO JANUARY 15. 1921 PRIME SPORT NEWS The Temple Theatre was jammed, last week, by our people, intent on seeing the latest attraction of our leading race photoplay producer, Oscar Micheaux. That "Symbol of the Unconquered" is here to stay and is destined to be one of the strongest drawing cards in our theatricals, the happy throngs at the Temple attested. The scenes of the play are laid in the great northwest and concern the plans of a bunch of villains to gain possession of the valuable oil lands of a member of the race. A thrilling fight with the Klu Klux Klan is a feature in which one brother laughably stags as a brick thrower. Walker Thompson, as the hero, gave a finished and capable performance; as the heroine, and Lawrence Chenault made a most detestable villain. Each Micheaux film is an improvement and marks the advancing step of our people in this great industrial art. Pay Big Dividend Pay Big Dividend ST. LOUIS, MO.—The local Giant's Baseball club, of which the popular Charles A. Mills is (president, recently announced the a 14 per cent dividend. The stock of the corporation, operating the club, is owned and controlled by our local business men, who have not only made a good investment but they have also provided a wholesome recreation and sport for the local public. The stock is fully subscribed and the price of it becomes more prohibitive every month. This doubtless will be the course of the Tate hall corporation stock in Cleveland, too. President Mills is looking forward to a banner year in 1921 and is laying his plans to make his team a dangerous pennant contender. A Baseball Veteran A Baseball Veteran The City Semi-Pro league, recently organized by our local baseball men, promises to have stiff opposition for pennant honors in the Cleveland Giants, led by "up and doing" Bill Ford. He is a veteran of the game whose past experience should aid him greatly in making his Giants the "head-off" team in the new organization. Ford was formerly a member of the Philadelphia, Cuban and Brooklyn Royal Giants and led the local Black Diamonds and Starlight Champs when they were the most feared semipro team in these regions. His team will show up strong with Pettijohn, pitcher; Joe Jones, catcher; infielders, White and Brooks, forming the nucleus of a real good club. Norfolk Wins BUFFALO, N. Y.—"Kid" Norfolk, the heavy-hitting man from Baltimore, after giving George Ward a severe drubbing, knocked him out in the third round before a record-breaking crowd in the Broadway Auditorium here, the other night. Norfolk had things all his own way from the start and outpointed the Philadelphia boy all the way, knocking him down in the second round. Ward managed to deliver only some ill-directed punches before Norfolk landed a strong left-hand punch to the solar plexus, sending his opponent down for the final count. Prime Sport News Notes That the sporting public in general is beginning to "wake up" on the side-stepping, gold-hunting Jack Dempsey is proven by a recent News-Leader article entitled "Dempsey Can Hardly Draw Color Line. Jack Dempsey's next two opponents will be Carpenter and Willard. If he wins both contests he will then have just one opponent left with a chance—the same being Harry Wills. It is reported Dempsey will draw the color line. But on what grounds can a man draw the color line whose main sparing partner is Bill Tate?" In the preliminaries of the N. Y. State amateur boxing championships held at Madison Sq. Garden, our boys made a good showing. Benny Ponteau of St. Christopher club, who went abroad with the Olympiads, scored a knockout over Ed Leventhan in one round. The Naco Giants, who made a good reputation during the past ball season, are laying plans for a better team, next year, under the management of Geo. Simpson. Edward Geerd (colored), 28 years old, middle wrestling champion, of Holland, is in this country looking for matches. He has quite a good record of victories in foreign countries. He is a member of the team in New York recently. Panama Joe Gaps. The W. H. Fo 4712 Cent Variety Mu COLUMBIA, EMERS SHEET MUSIC, NEEDLES A STARR PHONOGRAPHS, P Central 2870-K. The W. H.

Charleston, Hewitt and Blackwell, who have been in Havana playing with the Bacharach Giants, had to be helped back to the states by their managers, it is said. Business has been very poor on the island. The campaign of the Tate Baseball Co. to buy and erect a fine park and grandstand has started already a fever of baseball talk. Looks like the greatest season in Cleveland history. Max Cohen, the stormy petrel of local amateur ball, in a recent article stated the C. A. B. A. would miss the Tate Stars, who never received proper treatment, though they were "the best drawing card in local sports." The Keystone Athletic club will give a "smoker" and boxing carnival, Monday night, at Acme Hall. "Kid" Newman vs. Billy Aaron and Dixie Davis vs. Y. Mitchell, heavyweights, will be the main attraction. An immense throng is expected to crowd the Broadway Auditorium in Buffalo, Jan. 17, when Harry Wills meets Big Bill Tate, Jack Dempsey's sparring partner, in the feature attraction. --- A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious 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. 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 guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must break peace, break to right the wrongs of many. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persist- ent 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 under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

CAUSES OF DIFFICULTIES AMERICAN GIRLS PREFER MORE CONGENIAL AND BETTER PAID WORK. FOREIGN YOUNG WOMEN RETURN TO EUROPE WASHINGTON, D. C.—Probably in nearly every city of considerable size in the United States at the present time the problem being most generally discussed, next to that having to do with high living costs in the domestic help problem. It is interesting to remember, of course when the inclination is to regard the latter problem one of important importance to the American household that, official figures compiled not many years ago from government census returns disclosed the some what surprising fact that, in all the homes in the United States, housewives and homemakers in but 2 percent of them give employment to domestic help. It might seem, then this being the case, that undue importance is sometimes given to a problem which affects the few, and with which the masses, so to speak have little if any concern. But questions of percentages and ratios really have nothing whatever to do, it may be argued by those directly concerned with the solution of individual problems, with the inability to find the answer to the question that appears to be more and more nearly impossible to solve. It seems quite natural, therefore, that in the cities, especially, there is, just now, a determined effort, not only to discover what the causes are which have led up to present difficulties, but a remedy for them. As to the causes, two important facts have been disclosed. One is that in the cities of the east, particularly, hardly a young white woman of American birth is to be found in domestic service. Thousands of American women are wage earners, of course, but they have sought and found employments more congenial and frequently better paid, though the present wage scale in the home is, in many cases, more attractive, when one considers that board and housing are included, than the wages offered in office or factory. The second fact disclosed is that, in the principal eastern and mid-western cities of the United States, young women from Ireland and the Scandinavian countries constitute the majority of domestic workers. Since the signing of the agreements, it is explained thousands of the young women have returned to her family homes across the sea, and thousands more are said to await an opportunity to make the journey added to this, immigration to the United States has virtually ceased. These are the conditions with which the few to whom the problem is vital find themselves confronted. To them it is as vital as was the great problem of the Egyptians as the time of the Pharaohs when the Children of Israel began their journey through the Wilderness, or the conditions faced by the people of the North American United States where the Negro was emancipated. Modern history, with which all are familiar, shows how the people of the South have risen above a condition which appeared to them to be unsurmountable, simply by learning to do for themselves many of the things they had learned to do for them. Many conditions of life might be worse than this. Advocates of the community plan of living, of course] are ready with a solution of the problem. But the fact must not be lost sight of that there are a great many people in all countries to whom the community plan of living does not appeal at all, and it is quite probable that those who have been accustomed to employ a half dozen house servants must be included among this number. The American family, as a rule, does not choose to live a la carte, as it were. The home touch in everything, but more especially in the products of the kitchen, is appealing. To this great majority of Americans, then, the dumb-waiter service from a curtain cooking department does not offer the soup sought and so greatly desired, any man in hotel life, for the family, appeals to those who seek to enjoy for themselves and their children, the sacred ties of the home. Like all problems to be solved, this seems to be one for the individual, or the individual family. It cannot be solved at the ballot box, in Congress, on the rostrum, at the club or in the sewing circle. Perhaps after all, the way found by the men and women of the South, in the years following '63, a way at first beast by many hardships, apparent failures, and bitter disappointments, will be the way which will have to be followed, willingly or unwillingly, today. BREAK INTO JAIL AFTER BOOZE MARIETTA, O.—Booze isn't safe here, if it is locked in jail. He just Bush of Williamstown, W. Va., just across the Ohio river from this city, made, the discovery recently when he went to the village jail to inspect a rich haul made by two Marietta detectives and himself. Thirty-two cases of good whisky were on a truck which three men attempted to smuggle into West Virginia from Marietta. The coppers got the m.a. and the liquor. The letter was held in the Williamstown jail and the men locked up here. But someone reversed the usual order of things and broke into the jail. It's dry now.

Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynchings. 6283. Damages or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob up to the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or any other manner, may recover, as heafter, one thousand dollars or damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, not be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6. 1) Section 6283. A person, suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall be injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person billed or serried by the persons mob, many of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)

Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommunication, compensation, or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. 3147 3147 For this combination, Ladies Waist 3147 and Skirt, 3477 were combined.

PIE AT BREAKFAST RUINED EMERSON The American's fondness for po- toch I was alluding to the other day, says the London "Daily News", was the ruin of Emerson, according a letter written by one of his friends, Henry J. Warner: "It was pie at breakfast at broke down Emerson prematurely; no human being, however well, can live long and be kept well nourished on pie at breakfast. Emerson lost his memory—at a much earlier period than he would have been likely to lose it, owing to the vicious habit of pie at breakfast."

If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W.
