Are the Hundreds of President Wilkinson's Friends in Ohio and South Carolina. Prof. Robert S. Wilkinson has been president of our Normal, Industrial, Agricultural and Mechanical College of South Carolina, located at Orangeburg, for twelve years. His latest annual report, to the board of trustees of the institution, shows that not only have the enrollment of students and the number of members President R. S. Wilkinson of the faculty, (now 90) steadily and materially increased during his administration as head of the college, but also the physical value of the institution. The board's attention is directed to the fact that lack of dormitory accommodations for boys, and of other needed facilities in the college's general development, are what are preventing far greater results being obtained. The required expense, per student, for a session of eight months at this college is $116, or 48 cents a day the lowest in South Carolina. It's farm products take first premiums in animal industry, dairying, poultry-raising, gardening, etc. Twenty-eight trades are taught and the college has been designated by the U.S. government as an institution for agricultural and vocational training for teachers, extension and demonstration work. A Rosenwald practice school, in which students will learn how to teach by teaching under a supervisor, will soon be built on the college grounds. This year for lack of room admission has been refused to more than a hundred. The total enrollment has grown from 650 in 1919 to 1067 in October. 1923. Dormitories and classrooms are so crowded that additional space must be had if the institution is to take care of all who wish to enter it. The college takes high rank, is in Class A among the Land Grant Colleges, and obtains high marks in efficiency at every inspection. President Wilkinson, loyal South Carolina as he is by birth and lifelong resident. Is also very proud of the fact that there was not one lynching in his state, last year, the first time this has been the case since that form of lawlessness was inaugurated in the South, many years ago. A graduate of Oberlin College and an alumnus also of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, serving on its staff, years ago, he has many warm friends in Cleveland and Oberlin who have watched his successful career as an educator with a great deal of satisfaction, not the least of these being the editor of The Gazette. Jack's Wife Wants a Divorce Jack Wiley City John A. Burr New York City John A. Burr (Jack) Johnson, former heavyweight chimp) Johnson, was sued in the court's court, last Friday, by his white wife, Lucille Frances Cameron Johnson, for a divorce on the ground of infidelity. The action, undefended, was speedily tried, before Justice Wasservogel. The same thing was said, at the time, to be the cause of his other wife's suicide. She was also white, a woman of culture and refinement, persons say who came in contact with her. This Means Fight, This Fall! Ohio Afro-Americans Openly Insulted and Humiliated Our Demand for What We Are Clearly Entitled To, a Delegate-at-Large, Ignored—Five “Negroes” Turn Against Our People—Donithen's Statement Columbus, O.—At the Conference of Ohio Afro-American Republicans, held in Garfield hall, Feb. 4, 24, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, the Afro-American Republicans of the state of Ohio thru the Abraham Lincoln club of Dayton asked for conference with the State Republican Executive Committee and also asked for one of our group to be selected as a delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention which is to convene at Cleveland in June, 1924, both of which requests were denied therefore be it I could stand it no longer and had risen to go, telling my companions that I had stood the humiliation long enough and that I had stood it that long simply because I felt that I was making the sacrifice for the thinking men and women of my race in the state, and after about two and a half hours' waiting, the long-looked for Mr. Donithen entered aid, after seeing another man (white) who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donithen's) explained was a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train, Mr. Donithen came into the room where we were waiting and made no excuse what- Resolved, That in view of the fact that the number of Afro-American Republican voters in the state of Ohio is sufficiently large to entitle k to one of the seven delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention, and their loyalty to the party is unquestioned, this conference, of Afro-American Republican voters of Ohio, respectfully requests the substitution of a member of our race for one of the seven persons announced as having been recently selected as Ohio's candidates for delegates-at-large to the next Republican National Convention. The following were named as a committee to present the foregoing resolution to Chairman Montgomery of the State Republican Executive Committee and to the Hon. Hoke Donthen, Ohio Coolidge leader, which was done, on appointment, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 1924, Lincoln's birthday. The committee: Hon. Harry. Clay Smith of Cleveland, Rev. I. S. Webster of Toledo, I. S. Reason of Columbus, John C. Logan of Columbus and Dr. L. H. Cox of Dayton, chairman. The officers of the Conference were: E. T. Banks of Dayton, chairman; Rev. J. E. Baker of Fremont, secretary; Rev. I. S. Webster, treasurer. After the committee was named the chairman called the office of Mr. Donithen and was informed that the gentleman was out and would not be back until late that evening. He then called the office of the chairman of the state executive committee and was informed that that gentleman had left town, at noon, and would not be back that day. The chairman returned to the conference and related his experiences in trying to make an appointment to deliver the resolution, and announced that he would hold every honorable effort towards making the appointment with Mr. Donithen that the committee might deliver the resolution in person. The remaining members of the committee agreed to meet Chairman 'Cox in Columbus, if possible, on call. A few days later, Mr. Cox called Mr. Donithen over the long distance 'phone and asked an appointment. He stated that the committee could call "any day" and he would see it. To this Mr. Cox replied; "That is too indefinite, Mr. Donithen; we do not want a repetition of last Monday when the committee was in Columbus to call on you and could not get in touch with you." He then agreed on Tuesday. Feb. 12th. Chairman Cox then notified each member of the committee to meet him in Columbus at 12 o'clock noon. Feb. 12th, and received a reply from Mr. Logan who informed him that owing to the fact he was leaving for Chicago to attend the Lincoln League convention he would not be present but directed Mr. Cox to sign his name to the resolution. The editor of The Gazette, much to his regret, was unable to leave Cleveland. Feb. 12, but wrote that he was heart and soul with the committee and for it to use his name and paper in anyway the committee saw fit. Promptly at 12 o'clock. Feb. 12, 1924, three of the committee of five met here at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Donithen was called on the phone and the meeting with him was arranged for one-thirty. "We were at Donthen's headquarters at one-fifteen, just fifteen minutes ahead of time," said Chairman Cor. "He was out but was apportioned back at any minute." Well, those fifteen minutes soon passed, and it was now one-thirty, the appointed hour. From the room where we sat we could see the outside door and every time the door would open we would think—here he is now—but that door opened and closed several times between one-thirty and three-thirty, without being darkened by the form of Mr. Donthen. For more than two hours, there we sat, smoked and chatted, looked at our watches, and then smoked and chatted some more; only looking towards the door, every time it rattled to say, 'here he comes now.' Finally, when SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS I could stand it no longer and had risen to go, telling my companions that I had stood the humiliation long enough and that I had stood it that long simply because I felt that I was making the sacrifice for the thinking men and women of my race, state, and country, and a half hour's waiting, the long-looked for Mr. Donthenen entered, after seeing another man (white) who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donthenen's) explained was a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train, Mr. Donthenen came into the room where we were waiting and made no excuse whatever for keeping us waiting for more than two hours. Rather humiliating to any self-respecting human being, don't you think? I was standing when he entered and, after introducing myself, Editor Dabney and Rev. Webster, I read the folloing: "Mr. Donlithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking Negro Republicans, men and women of the state of Ohio, none-the less Republican because they dare think for themselves, and in their behalf we urge you to use your good offices to see that we are justly accorded what we are asking for. We recognize, Mr. Donlithen, that to the victor belongs the spoils, but we do not come to you as job-seeking Republicans, willing to barter the just rights of our people for a political job or promise of such job, but we do come fully mindful of the fact that year after year we have labored, side by side, with Republicans of your race and voted almost solidly for the success of the grand old party, and we believe we are justified in asking, now for some of its honors and that the treatment accorded us be in keeping with our loyalty to the party. I present to you this resolution (published above) for your careful consideration. Mr. Dabney will make a few remarks and then Rev. Webster. E COPY FIVE CENTS idge! now you name this same Mr. Knight and ask us to vote for him. We had with us one of the circulars (furnished by the editor of The Gazette) used by the Republican organization, two years ago, which was self-evident truth that what I said about Mr. Knight was true. But all we said was of no avail 'Because the leading man of your race were consulted and the delegate to it.' Men and women for the love of all that right and just, for the love of our children and our future generations think: Think, he loved them, and too! (Who were they among them, and let our people of Ohio know who they are—Editor.) E. T. Banks went all the way to Chicago to have the Lincoln League, then in session, send a telegram to Mr. Donlithen in support of our resolution which we presented, Feb. 12, 24, and when Mr. Banks made an effort to get a resolution through authorizing the sending of the telegram; one of these same men (Charles Cottrill) whom Mr. Donlithen named as being one of our leaders who agreed to their not naming a Negro delegate-at-large, was the one and tried to block the adoption of the resolution. But in spite of his efforts, the resolution passed and the telegram was sent. Hats off to Banks and shame on the man who laid down when the race ended, added men to champion its cause. Some people ago petition was circulated through Ohio and thousands of signatures obtained by the Abraham Lincoln Republican club of Dayton, calling upon the state executive committee to name a member of the race as a delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland, this year. This was before the slate was made up, too. Some time later, I was informed that this petition had been ignored by the state Republican executive committee." Banks Naines Two of Them. Dayton, O., Feb. 18, '24. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith—I am sending you some late data on the contention for delegate-at-large and the work of the committee who called upon Mr. Hoke. Donithen on Lincoln's birthday to present the resolution of the people as adopted at our Columbus meeting. Two of the men of our group who say that the colored people will be satisfied with an alternate, according to Mr. Donithen, are CHARLES COTTRILL of Toledo and ATTY. BARCUS of Columbus. The other three names have not given me yet, but I will notify you as soon as they come to hand. I am sending you herewith the action of the Lincoln League with regard to our fight, and the resolution as telegraphed to Mr. Donithen by myself at the League's insistence. We are protesting the utterances of the self-appointed "race leaders" as to the satisfaction of the people with minor recognition and are wondering where, in the face of our great petition, they could have gotten their authority. The fight has just begun, however, and we will be pleased to keep you informed as to the progress we are making. Thanking you for your deep interest, kindness and assistance, I am Yours respectfully, E. T. Banks, Advisor, For the Abraham Lincoln Republican Club of Dayton, O.; Wm. Penn, Pres. Cottrill Opposed Bank's Resolution. Chicago, Ill.—The first piece of constructive legislation passed by the Lincoln League of America, assembled here, February 12. '24, was presented by E. T. Banks of Dayton, who made his plea before the convention for national influence upon the delegate at-larne situation of Ohio. He addressed himself to his subject with such ardor that the convention passed the following resolution and wired it immediately to Hoke Donithen, the Ohio Coolidge manager, at Columbus, Ohio; We, the Lincoln League of America, in convention assembled, conscious of the increase in the delegated representation in the National Convention from Ohio, urge the propriety of placing a colored member on the Ohio delegation at large.

Jones, who are visiting their son in Paris, France, and "having the time of their lives," tell of their visits to many of the grand attractions of that wonder city; churches, theaters, parks, etc. On Jan. 10, their son and five other members of the race furnished music for two receptions tendered the Prince of Wales and the Rothchilds of London by Princess Polegnac, Louia playing several solos with the Princess as his accompanist. The Prince paid him several high compliments. His father accompanied him to the Princess' home, during an afternoon rehearsal, and was treated fine by her, of course. That's France! Before sailing for Havre, France, Mr. and Mrs. Jones met our "queen of song," Madam Marie Sellka whose address is 160 W. 136th St., N. Y. City. Many old friends will be pleased to learn the Madam's address. The following is from Roscoe C. Simmon's "The 'Week' department of the Chicago Defender of Feb. 9, 24: "Harry C. Smith, great Ohio editor, tells the G. O. P. in Ohio that unless it learns some sense between now and the Ohio primary College's name may be Dennis in November. Formal Thompson, Republic of the old school, will back up Mr. Smith. "Ohio colored Republicans, trained in politics by Mark Hanna and along with Joseph B. Foraker, greatest Republican orator next to Ingersoll, say they are tired pulling the cart. They want to ride. "Ohio wants a Colored delegate-at-large to the Cleveland convention. "We are 200,000 strong' is the cry. In November they may change the cry to this: 'We are 200,000 mad.' "Great Colored people live in Ohio, leading in intelligence, industry, homes, graciousness in women and independence in men. "Republican leaders, listen to Mr. Smith. Give Colored Ohio what it wants. "Since Colored men got an additional delegate-at-large for each state that went for Harding a Colored Republican should be on each delegation from those states. Is not that fair? Don't fail because it is southern state, should send two, Robert R. Church, your finest, strongest young man, and A. W. Fite, as wise in politics as any man that ever moved the previous question. It went for Harding. "Mr. Carmi Thompson, dear sir; Please speak to Ohio Republicans before it is too late." Thank you! Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons. While we fully appreciate the very flattering personal reference, we prize and very highly indeed your effort to help our people of Ohio get what all concede they are more than entitled to.

It IS "up to" Mr. Carimi Thompson of this city, President Coolidge's personal representative, and Mr. Hoke Donithen of Marion, Ohio Coolidge leader. KNIGHTS OF TOUSSAINT It is a human trait to follow after that which is best. From time immemorial, men have sought ideals within their own race group. Unfortunately, however, the Colored man sought his ideals in other races, in so far as his fraternities were concerned. Those of us who know anything about fraternal history, know that the Colored man has been dragged so repeatedly to test his right of fraternial affiliation in organizations that were founded by other race groups. History needs not repeat itself any more in so far as the fraternal affiliation of the Colored man is concerned, for he has an organization that is his own, and that order is the KNIGHTS OF TOUSSAINT. The Knights of Toussaint is a fraternal order, founded on the life and works of an illustrious Colored character, Toussaint L'Ouverture; founded by a Colored man, and for Colored women, and it will call the Gazette will call a 100 per cent Colored organization, and as such, should commend itself to the men and women of the race who think. The Gazette extends its congratulations to the men and women who have labored to make this institution a substantial reality in so far as our group is concerned, and after 12 years of labor in other sections of the city, we feel that the coming of the Knights of Toussaint to Cleveland, will be a benediction to the race, not only in the city of Cleveland, but also in the state of Ohio.

"Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has 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 upon 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 in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as 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. (92 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 such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to half of the 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, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) 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 have a like right of action as one purposely 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 such recovery is had, to include it with 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.) been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: B.S. ed. r. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. last member of mob. last another county. 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 killed or seriously injured by a mob from any 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 the judgment and costs from the county, and wish that the case came, unless there was contributory evidence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in prosecution from prosecution for homicide or assault engaged therein. (93 v. 163, 125) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Union on the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whenever, being the promoter or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies a fee except for reasons applicable, allure to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be defined 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. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law wolled by the fondly manufactured outfit for the message of the Roast hill a few years ago the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant announces the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Ohio is self explanatory. Akron, O. .. April 25, 1919. Upon, Harry O.
