In one section of North Texas accuse Negro farmers of having received threatening letters, causing many of them to sell their crops and land at a sacrifice. Negro farmers have received threatening letters, causing many of them to sell their crops and land at a sacrifice. The condition was brought to the attention of the Labor Commissioner by Senator Say Negroes Kept Waiting. In an East Texas town many nongraffa sharecroppers, those who are paid for farm work with a share of the crop, were forced to work for many weeks after they had gathered the crop to receive their pay. Some sharecroppers, who were forced to that if they pressed their alimony they would get into trouble, and consequently the Myera said. In connection with this case, a Negro representing twenty famine-stricken men of cotton, it was said, assistance in getting their share of the crop. Some of them had raised as high as 100 percent of cotton, it was said. The Lawyer said these cases by sending representatives to the communities from which the sharecroppers came, the business men and bankers of these sections that unless the alleged sharp practices were discounted, the State government would assist in obtaining labor next season. In every instance, Mr. Myera said, the sharecroppers were forced to work to "clean seas," ferreting out those who have been guilty of misappropriation.

"JUST" (Continued on page 8) HOW TIM The following article is a reproduction from the Dallas News of Jan. 4, 1928, describing the wedding of the Negro and the white Starks and wife. The article, contributed by Professor N. W.

And, thinking of these things we wonder why the most important attention was paid to the activities of educated, cultured Nigerian citizens. The columns of the university were considered worthy of courteous treatment. And they were so condemned by the university that now are at the head of the larger projects of Dallas.

The checks were mailed out December 15. The Tri-State Casket & Coffin Company began the manufacture of casket supplies early in 1926, capitalized at $200,000. The stock of the company is owned largely by successful under-takers throughout the tri-state territory. The promoters hit upon a unique plan, as an investment feature which guaranteed a tremendous success almost from the very start, namely having the stock held largely by undertakers who use the products of the company, thereby enabling the under-takers to practically purchase goods from themselves, which in turn enables them to see to their customers cheaper than their competitors, who do not have the time to invest in the stock. The stock of the factory to its undertaker's stockholders, as well as sharing in the dividend, was substantial race enterprise. The company has only a limited amount of stock in now, which is now being offered to the general public, enabling the public to share in the dividend coming annually from a rapidly growing substantial race enterprise. The company is now in its fourth year, and unlike few Negro enterprises, he has a good record of an unbroken-in dividend record of seven years, paid every stockholder since its beginning, beside being able to set aside a substantial surplus each year. The organization has been fortunate in that from the very start it has enjoyed the confidence of thousands of the Colored undertakers throughout the South. The growth of the company has been rapid and steady, being based upon a sound business foundation and efficiently managed along the lines of sound business principles. The officers and directors of the company comprise some of the most successful business men of the South. T. H. Hayes of Memphis, the leading undertaker of the South, is its president; while on the directorate are such men as R. R. Church, a national character and an acknowledged leader; J. B. Martin, president of the South Memphis Drug Company; and Wayman Wilkerson, an acknowledged business genius, is secretary and manager. A. M. Woods is sales manager, and his proven ability along this line makes him stand out as a leading "business getter" of the South. --- (Preston News Service) ing in a town where Negroes were not wanted, and frightening white children by walking hardlessly along a country road.

The Express believes that Col. Simmons has ample reason for his prediction. It further believes that now is the time for Texans to begin to bestir themselves and get in line for active engagement in the campaign, the point of the Negro voter in America, the campaign of campaigns. In this campaign as never before the Negro voters of the country are determined to exert every ounce of their political energy for gaining for themselves as a group remedial legislation and to increase their voter turnout as a group. They realize their advantage and they intend to use it. Any arsenous reflection upon the surface of the skin may be any person, firm or corro- tioned, apples to the columns of the body, or the columns of the skin created upon being brought to the surface. The appointment of a few individual members of the group to minor offices will not mean nearly so much to them as in former years. But the stand of the parties on lynching and disfranchise and proscription, as evidenced by the Lily White policy of 1880, will not be the same as ready the stand of those in stalemate where their power is acknowledged leaves no room for doulche their attitude. THE DALLAS EXPRESS Texas must realize the *g*^th aspect of this opportunity to crush Lily Whiteism and decision dake advantage of it. has never hauled the white feather, neither has it been distressed by the yellow streak. It is not afflicted with the flannel month. It is a plain coat, sensible, conservative acupuncture, conservative bracing, the banning breese; it lies no daffallible flag; it professes a patriotism as broad as our country. Its love of even-handed justice covers all the territory occupied by the human race. This is pretty high ground, but we live on it and are proxies of it. We stand up and stand with us. This ground is holy. The importance attached to the ability of Negro Republicans to help or hinder the G. O. P. in the coming campaign, by the G. O.

P. treatment. And Texas is one of those states. We pause for a hearing from McDonald, Evans, Wells and their hosts. What will they do about it? Texas Department of Labor Wakes Up. To those of us who scan the horizon constantly in search of encouraging signs of an awakening of our white neighbors to the real reason for the exodus of Negro laborers from the South, the recently published report of the Texas Labor Commissioner Joseph S. Meyers concerning the reports of threats to Negro farmers and the mistreatment of Negro share-croppers comes with a high degree of satisfaction. He makes public his findings in an article published elsewhere in this issue and in it takes the position that Texas needs her Negro laborers to the extent that the State Department is interested enough to ask fair treatment for them. W. E. KING. LYNCHINGS DECREASE. Figures recently made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) the number of lynchings the nation has chosen during the past twelve months, to decrease its number of lynchings. The number of twenty-eight lynchings in 1923 as compared to any other country, we must at least two which took place between the release of these statistics and the reason for the decline in lynchings is attributed by the association to the fact that there was, during the war, a large number of anti-lynching measure in Congress and to the Northward Migration of "The movement of Negroes in large numbers from the Southern to the Northern States has doubtless been due, for the most part, to the attraction of the higher wages that were to be earned in the industrial centers of the North. But that has not been the sole cause. In part, and in larger part than any of us care to think, it has been due to the terrorism and oppression to which the Negroes have been subjected in many communities of the South. This is true of Texas as well as of the South as a whole. Whatever the cause for the lesion seeing may have been, it is nevertheless clear that Texas has created. And especially is it pleasing to and that Texas has relinquished its claim to the state. Texas has almost become a national pastime to her sister states Florida and Georgia. This condition, of which most of us must have been made cognizant by reports which pass by word of mouth, has attained to proportions that have moved the State Labor Commissioner, Mr. Myers, to bring it formally to the attention of the people of Texas. In one section of North Texas, Mr. Myers says, many Negro farmers "have received threatening letters, causing many of them to sell their crops and land at a sacrifice and leave the community." In "an East Texas town," he reports, "many Negro share-cropers, those who are paid for farm work with a share of the crops, have been kept waiting many weeks after they had gathered the crop to receive their pay. Some of these were made to believe that if they were not satisfied, some Negro community cipidity is the motive in these acts of oppression and insult but often, and perhaps more frequently, it is the racial hatred which has been sedulously fomented by an organized propaganda. It is *unfortunate* that lynching should be tolerated at all in a nation which boasts an unenlightened climate and a loathsome and degrading practice which might well be delegated, say, to the police. A barkal Harum, or to any of those other less favored peoples, as we have been taught to consider lynching as an act among none of them have we heard of practices any more barbarous than lynching.) The respect for law, in adherence to the fundamentals of democracy, in the self-respect of her several communities, in the respect rather than through its respektive of the law, does a human beaten an unenlightened and an unenlightened made the more acute by the many hideous devices which the savage and bestiety of the mob so It will be hurtful to the State's reputation, and therefore to its material interests, to have this matter brought into the open forum of discussion, as it is by Mr. Myers' statement. But it will also be hurtful, and vastly more hurtful, to the material interests of Texas to stand silent and supine and allow this malignant spirit to have its way and spread. It is doubtless this last consideration which has constrained Mr. Myers to speak out. His concern is that the State should not be so sensible as to any of us can be to the moral, social and political aspects of it. Already some rural communities have been deprived of labor which is needed for the cultivation of farms, and he foresees the possibility that what is now true of those communities may become true of the State as a whole. And if it should become true, Texas would suffer in an economic way; for let none of us be blinded to the very obvious fact that a considerable percentage of the wealth produced in Texas it is the creation of Negro labor. The minority of Texas is one of its large assets, and Texas needs all of it. Whether through an anti-lynching law or through the pressure of the military, moral force of public opinion, the need for its absolute abolition, the impact of the aspect of the individuals of the nation, and the conscience of the citizenry, the conscience of the citizenry and making savagery rather than orderly proceedesse the thing to be de- Of course there are other and more worthy reasons than this for opposing the force of an enlightened public opinion to this spirit of proscription that is manifesting itself sporadically. We can not condone the acts of injustice, brutality and cruelty that it gives rise to, as we do when we remain impassive spectators to them, without incurring some of the moral guilt of those who commit them. But we have reason enough, and one which will probably move us more quickly, in the material consequences that are not unlikely to be visited upon us if we encourage men to commit the acts of hawnessness reported by Mr. Myers by doing something toward the cause of justice in every town and community, there is an abundant force of righteous public opinion to put down this hawnessness. It only needs to be bestified. One may hope, and even expect, that it will be, by the restrained warnings which Mr. Myers has voiced. America would gain the more necessary, it. through the force of our political will, to increase conscience and opinion than is now the case, it could abolish this deformity. Such a victory in its moral affect the social and civil unity would far outweigh the effect of the same result in the continued pressure of a federal law. But present day signs do not point with us to a solution to an organized public opinion or confidence in this direction. Because such in time will be the cause, America owes it to herself. To take such a step would be to commit an act of self-immolation. Certainly Texas as well as her other sister states of the South needs to study to know the facts about the migration as they actually are and to consider them in just such a broad and straight forward way. From such a study it will be discovered that Negroes are leaving the South, only because conditions over which they have no control are forcing them out and that so long as a part of the population remains in the South, they be considered a part of it by reason of his long residence in it, he will continue to move as a last attempt to improve his condition. 1954 is just beginning. It is as an open book upon which another twelve months record is to be written. It is the daily of every person to make that record a little better than any previous record has been in honesty, thrift, and constant striving for better things.

Simmons on Texas Politics Despite sporadic unemployment here and there, Negro labor has apparently become a solidified certainty in northern industry, and can thus face the winter's snows and cold with a fair deposition of periods of time, this type of labor may be said to be resting comfortably at midday. The dawn of the advent of Negro labor's production passed when the first appreciable group of. Negro workers advanced to a skilled status in employment due to the success of doubts, fears, and misunderstandings, when the question-mark of "opportunity without stabilized recognition" hung in the air. By the end of ten years, by ten of thousands, passed through the employment gates, has finally yielded to an objection which admits, in fact, that Negro labor has made good. No committee on privileges and elections at Cleveland, Mr. Creager, very gentle man, fine lawyer, a U. S. district attorney now, must face the music. Since Colored men restored the representation of Texas in the national convention Mr. Creager may say to his followers: "What a sight we will be at Cleveland fighting Colored Texans when Colored men gave us what we would be fighting them about." Then everybody would bury the hatchet. To use another of the Colonel's expressions, "this is good if true," will Colored Texans rise to this occasion and contest the Lily White case."

Even the nature did not give you beautiful hands with long tapering fingers you can make them attractive through care and the cultivation of graceful gestures. Rough hands with grimy finger-tips and unkempt nails tell the story of personal habits more forcibly than words. It requires little time or money to keep the hands good-looking. The use of rubber gloves when dishwashing and cleaning saves time in the long run. Lemon is a first aid for stains of all kinds and there are lotions and creams and nail-polishers that can be obtained. The main thing in regard to your hands just as in other things is regularity. Ten or fifteen minutes a day should be devoted to the hands. Just as the hands portray character and habits so do they show the passage of the years. Unbled dresses incline in some instances to princess effects and the tapering waltiness is also noticed in them. Equally gratifying and in connection with the same report is an editorial in the Dallas Morning News under date of Dec. 26 under caption of "Oppression and Terrorism" in which an extremely broad view is taken of the situation. The editorial is so sound, so sane and so highly encouraging that The Express passes it on to its readers in full. It is as follows: 1 Chapter Five. May 16 was decided upon as the date and Chicago as the place for the holding of the Republican national convention and the Lincoln's rise in public favor the politicians believed that William H. Seward, of New York, would be nonimmigrant and the convention party was split and chances for success in November were regarded as very low. The convention was called to order by the National Chairman Edwin D. Morgan of New York and David Wilmott, of Pennsylvania, voracious and new convert to Republicanism and new convert to Republicanism was named temporary chairperson and new convert to Republicanism who was escorted to the chair by Preston King of New York and Gary S. McCormick who was made to adopt a rule requiring a two-thirds vote of the convention for the nomination of a candidate for the convention but this was defeated and the majority rule adopted. It has been in force in Republican convention. The platform denounced the Democratic administration for attempting to compromise constitution upon the people of Kansas without giving them a chance to govern themselves. It caused the Buchanan administration to advocate the restriction of slaves now territory, denounced the re-operation of the trade and declared that the state had to join the Union immediately as a free state, the people having voted against it. Platform and Candidates The plank of the platform endorsing the scheme of protection to American industries stated that "boundaries of power should ports as to encourage the development of the industrial interest of the American farmers, men liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their work, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence."

Davison, of New Jersey; John McLean, of Ohio, and Jacob Collamer, of Vermont. There were 132 votes were necessary for a nomination. On the first ballot the vote was recognized as the leading candidate. Seward's vote on this ballot was increased to 181. On the third ballot Seward lost 4 - 1- votes and Lincoln lost 4 - 1- votes as a ballot and a hair or smooth to nominate him.

He must not pass back to days of possibilities. Organization claims to have issued him a card of welcome, and his muscular form must be unequivocally accepted into every occupation in American industry. That's the key to "One Hundred Per cent Americanism," and all American industrial institutions will recognize the key. Negro labor has been an undeniable success. —Preston News Service.

It was recognized that he would be stronger than the other candidates, while in his own state Seward had the opposition. Horace W. and the poorest state New York Tribune was re-elected chairman of the national committee. Pamela Pinkney, secretary, Democratic Convention The Democratic National Convention met first in Charleston, South Carolina, on April 23. Stephen A. Douglas was regarded as the likely nominee. There were contesting delegations from Illinois and New York and the Douglas men were seated. The convention split over the resolutions and when a minority report, presented by Mr. Samuels of the House adopted the definition from Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Louisiana and South Carolina withdrew. A resolution was then adopted declaring that two-thirds vote of the full convention first ballot Douglas led his nearest competitor by a hundred votes, but he lacked the necessary two-thirds. Fifty-seven ballots were taken with the same result, and the convention adjourned to meet in Baltimore on June 18. The迄今-seen in another hall, chose Senator Bayard, of eDiaware, chairman, adopted the majority resolutions, favorable to the slave power, and adjourned to meet in Richmond on the second Monday in June. The regular convention met as scheduled at Baltimore. The balloting recommended and Douglas received 181.1-2 votes to 81-2 for Breckenridge, of Kentucky, but still lacked the necessary two-thirds vote. He was however, declared the nominalist of the Party. The seeders met and nominated John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, for President. Republican success seemed assured because of the Democratic split but the Republicans were more closed. In October the Republicans carried Pennsylvania and Indiana in the midterm elections, but doubt in the public mind but Lincoln would be selected the following month. The Republicans would embark on the entire campaign, made many speeches and drew large crowds both in the state and the nation. The Electoral Result. When the votes were counted the result was as follows in the electoral college: Lincoln, 180; Douglas, 152; Brecknidge, 79; Bell, Constitution vote, Union candidate, 39). The popular vote was: Lincoln, 1,864,542; Douglas, 1,276,657; Brecknidge, 849,781; Bell, 584,678. Lincoln received the electoral vote of every free state excluding New Jersey, because of two votes of the state because of a fusion ticket, the three going to Douglas. The latter carried only Missouri, in addition, while Brecknidge, who received two popular votes than Douglas, carried most of the slave states. At last the forces of freedom HEALTH & HYGIENE COL.

Chicago, Ill.—I have been going some like it had been a flight with the bugs, but here I am in Chicago this week and will be in the day when I'll have to watch me until I go into winter quarters, for I am told that it will be my lot to do it. It is the first time I took my pen in hand to write you a few years ago, and I am so good to see you there looking at the ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal church get together, and they did not know the time together, believe me honey, but then they will now have to go into the general conference. I told you that I'm in order to think I told you that Dr. George B. Young, won the selection for the office of bishop, was the first of the first extension Society and Dr. C. W. Abington, declared that he would stand alone, for he leveled the high-quality of the country. He was very much a though popularity to win without the endorsement of Texas, and the same thing is fixed in the head of the State Bims. We shall watch for the result. Well I got that Texas mud from my head. I was very much a young Houston only to find more mud, and plenty rain. I rode all night, and when I stopped in the house I would go to the car. Dr. O'Negron's automobile was called a waiting to tote me to his palatal home, believe me they were the same thing. I was all the clothing and dress up in a pongee silk night shirt, and go right to bed and reminders, then they will be in the day. I was very much a good one to hear me say much about Houston, for I did not get around much, but there was I did not spend a night there for a long time, and made it to my other friend in Beaumont, Dr. and Mr. C.

I was soon in the automobile car carriage belonging to the home and the old man who is to the home of C. R. C. B. Charlton, and his wife and children were up full of sunshine to welcome me to their home, although I fund it raining. The two who are my� and Mrs. Charlton as she shook my lily black hand said "I am glad that you decided to remain with us just a little longer. We have been praying for you." Enough, I want to keep what happened. Well, just talked and talked with these young people until we all were about to go to shut eye town, and seeing the sand man coming around. I opened into my eyes. To sleep I went, and bright and early the next morning I was up and ready to make a ride for another part of the world. It was nice to go to the home. Beaumont to New Orleans, and I do not know much. For I sleep most all the way. I enjoyed very much this ride and also the sleep reaching New Orleans about 7 o'clock. I did not see a looking into the face, of several friends. Well it was a nice ride down there and I had the pleasure of meeting many people. Want to the home of Mrs. Porche, and found Miss Enol E.

It has been buried and I am real happy as the result. The turkey was as large as my stomach.

As Curtis *aply* states, "it was the first triumph of freedom since the adoption of the Constitution. It was desolation there, a fear of the slave there be any fear of the extension of Slavery into free territory. * * * The growth and triumph of the Republican party up to and during 1860 meant simply that Slavery should not enter further into the free states and territories. The Republican party was not formed and put into power for the purpose of destroying Slavery but for the purpose of checking Slavery."

PAGE BIGHT We had arranged with the managers of the Dallas Express for a special issue last week, giving a summary of the work of the administration of Bishop Johnson in Texas, and information regarding the final meeting and banquet at Waco, but as we talked to get-the cut in time that had been promised we we decided to put it off until this week, as our plan for the issue included a large cut of Bishop Johnson. We had talked the matter over with the editor and made plans for the current issue, but Dr. R. S. Jenkins has prepared a splendid article touching on the matter, hence, the public has had the story of his life. We are additional story would be superfluous. But that the friends may understand where the primary leaves the writer, I deem it wise to give to the readers the following explanation: It is of no particular consequence what may be one's private conviction, when he goes into the public decision to go to the public decision. So I did not enter the primary, in my interest; before the vote was taken I announced my position and did not allow my name to be submitted. I was not eliminated as has been reported in some quarters. I only withdrew from what I knew was an unequal race, with the request that those who would give me their support in Louisville, where the issues must be finally decided. This fact gives first myself, and then my mother. Our mother we are addressing our faithfully to the task, filled with brightest hope and undisturbed confidence in the future. Our mother we are addressing our infinite justice of Him who presides over the destiny of men and nations, sets of ages and executes his purpose and devil's purpose, inspires in my breast hope or the one hand; while my faith in God, both ministerial and lay, suffers from the sacrifice of God in the same space should be given for the expression of the will divine, that combinations of worthy men in the interest of a favored few, give additional courage for battle. Our mother we are addressing our destiny today, which is the foundation of our church today, which is the foundation of our church be steered into the same troubled sea? It was clearly noticed at the end of the book that a decided swing back toward that independence of action that is quite The demand of even-handed justice requires that men should be elevated in the church who are fitted and have left behind them (records of achievement, this regardless of where they were born or where they live at present, east, west, north or south). I am still an aspirant for the office of Secretary of Missions of the A. M. E. Church and earnestly seek the support of its entire membership and friends. All who will can help regardless of de-nomination by your influence and prayers, while every one who has a vote in the coming general conference can help in a most substantial way. My appeal for your help is based on the following: I am an African Methodist to the manner born, my mother is among its oldest active members. I have known nothing else. I have served the church in every capacity from janitor to elder. I feel a righteous pride in its history and while I am not blind to its faults, but rather deem it a glorious privilege to march in its ranks and do my bit toward correcting them. I have gladly given the heat energies of my life up to the present for its advancement. 2. I have been twenty-five years in the breaches during which time I have been thankful to the Almighty that I have been able to leave tangible results at the church. I was thankful to Guthrie, Oklahoma. At this point we bought Oklahoma, our church (cruiser) ever owned by our population that state, bought the property adjoining the church and made a modern Metropolitan Church, Austin, Texas five years, during the time jobs of the church were paid, the church remodeled and made the most beautiful in the state at that moment, furnished the building with new and modern equipment and left one of the most memorable presentations in the state. Was pastor of Bethel, Dallas, Texas, five years, with the church. Completed the addition which had been started by a former pastor, re-established the addition. DR.

They have demonstrated their ability in science, art, literature, in chart, in all the trades and professions, and in restricted immigration opened doors in the trades, bitheroe closed of only worthy achievement. 3. Among other things we may bring your attention are the following: we will be visiting the church and our own personal life and affairs so as to enjoy the confidence of all the people, regardless of race. (2) We have served for four years on the Missionary Board at New York and on the Board of Trustees of important committees and have a practical knowledge of the work of the Deacon. (3) We have sympathy for the work, we were the first to begin raising a bank and paying the first fifty dollars. (4) We have traveled throughout the United States, 1921-1922, visited England, France, Spain, Portugal, French, English, and German, and have a practical knowledge of the work of missionaries. (5) We suggested the idea to lishop H. W. Simpson Brooks, while in Africa, which resulted in the Bishop coming to finish Morningside College and dedicated himself to a practical institution on that continent for the education of the African. We came in to the church for his campaign, and traveled with him in that State when he was elected. (6) We were endorsed for Secretary of Ministry by Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., where we have given to the record the benefit of our work we received while visiting that conference, and we have given to the record the benefit of our work we received while abroad in a series of articles which were said to be the most illuminating of the recent discussions among the Africans in Africa, submitted to some of the leading bodies of race men a plan for Negroes of America to finance Liberia and save it from the collapse of the African Union, and had favorable consideration from the Blusho Council of the National Black Assembly, and committees of two of the Great Baptist bodies. The statement for the information of those who may desire to know on what I have my request for the release of the very sincerest friend, who has been along the work better than one of another race, then the position in his. If he falls, he loses his place and the door becomes open. The thorough review of the last ten years must reveal that an unprejudiced mind the start increments of pain to abound, and human prejudices are still blighting, but the race steadily adopts a new attitude, and great great great centuries of the long past. "The Negro face 1824 with the large, powerful character," a friend of the Negro," is dead. The Negro does not want a friend any more than does the white people. "They are not so fond of no favors.
