R. O. JOHSON'S CANDIDATES ARE DEFEATED! VOTERS DIRECT Senator Watson Fails To 'Save' Judge Parker VOTES AGAINST Candidates Supported By Gary American Are Winners "Interest, Character and Substance" News while it is news—and a complete Illustrated Feature Section with every issue of this paper. R. O. J VOTERS DIRECT VOTES AGAINST GARY'S MAYOR Negroes Lose Chance to Send Colored Man to the State Law-Making Body KYLE IS AN EASY WINNER Victory of Calder, Szikora Is Due to Personal Popularity of the Candidates Practically all the candidates dates endorsed by THE GARY AMERICAN were accepted by the voters of Lake county at the primaries Tuesday and nominated for the offices they sought by comfortable majorities. The manner in which the vote was cast was a direct blow to the nefarious R. O. Johnson-Ralph Bradford political machine which, for the past several months, has been trying to stage a "come-back" in Lake county politics. Smash R. O. Machine All the Johnson-Bradford candidates were defeated because of their close alliance with this nefarious political organization with the exception of two or three candidates who were either so popular with the voters, or so disguised as to their political affiliation with Johnson and Bradford that they managed to win the nomination by the very skin of their teeth. The onslaught against the Bradford-Johnson clique came near of defeating Dr. Albert A. Watts, candidate for county coroner, who was considered a certainty. Watts received a bare majority of only a hundred votes. Had the Gary vote been more evenly divided between Watts and Dr. Antonio Giorgi, a second candidate for coroner, victory would certainly have gone to the third candidate, Dr. H. J. White of Hammond. Draper Is Nominated Fighting a close battle from start to finish with Oscar A. Ahlgren for county prosecutor, Floyd Draper, was nominated by a majority of 2,000 votes. Joseph B. Kyle, candidate for sheriff, was an easy victor over Fred Stults, the Johnson-Braford candidate. Victories in other contests indicated clearly that the Johnson-Bradford candidates were not acceptable to the voters. The only surprise of the election was the nomination of Ward Calder for county clerk, and this is not considered at all a gain for the Johnson-Bradford machine, but rather as a wish of the voters to reward Calder's service of 14 years in the office of county clerk as chief deputy in charge of the Gary office. The winners are as follows: For prosecutor: Floyd Draper; for judge Superior court, room 4, Claude V. Ridgely; for judge Lake superior court, room 5, Clyde Cleveland; for state senator, William F. Hodges; for joint representative, Clarence R. Brown; for clerk Lake circuit court, Ward Calder; for county treasurer, Dan Kreitzman; for county sheriff, Joseph B. Kvle; for county assessor, William B.Black; for county commissioner, first district: William H. Olds; for county commissioner, second district, William H. Linton; for township trustee, Margaret Szkora; for township assessor, John McFadden. The nomination of Miss Margaret Szikora as township trustee was one of the two surprises of the primary election. Her victory was due, it is pointed out, to her large popularity in both sections of Gary, to the lively campaign she waged, and to the failure of the organization forces to regard her as a serious contender, concentrating their opposition against John C. Mullen and Charles Earnest, who were thought to be the real contenders for the office, instead of against Miss Szikora. While directing their rebuttal at Earnest and Mullen, Miss Szikora slipped under the wire. She had, moreover, been "double-crossed" by the Johnson-Bradford machine at the last minute and this fact gave her (Continued on page 2) PUBLIC LIBRARY CARY, INDIANA The Gary American * J.

Efforts of Lake county Negroes to elect a few men of their own race to the offices of justice of the peace and state legislature again failed upon the face of returns still coming in shortly before press time today William Mayfield, colored candidate for the state legislature was reported fighting for fifth place, in a race in with five were to be nominated, when early returns started coming in. Later returns, received up to the closing of the last page of The Gary American indicated, however, that he had fallen behind to sixth or seventh place or probably further behind. Robinson Loses Out Mayfield made a good race. It is pointed out that had a stronger candidate sought the office, with no other colored man in the contest, the nomination of a colored man to the state's lower house would have been definitely certain. In the race for justice of the peace, in which four other colored men were aspiring in a field already crowded with white candidates, none of the colored candidates evinced any unusual strength. With the Negro vote divided, the highest man did not receive enough votes to assue him of nomination to one of the two places on the ticket. Louis Sperling, lawyer, made the poorest race of all, and John W. Robinson, endorsed by The Gary American, received the largest number of votes.

Posed As Our Friend For years, Senator Watson has posed as a friend t oNegroes. As a candidate for the presidential nomination running against President Hoover in 1928, he stated, in a speech in Gary, that he would always be found on the side of the colored man when ever his rights were challenged. The right of colored people to have an unprejudiced judge on the bench of the highest court in the land, instead of one who had shown the most outspoken opposition to the colored race, apparently was not recognized by Indiana's senior senator. In addition to trying to get other senators to support Parker, Senator Watson cast his vote for the southern judge. Senator Arthur Robinson, junior senator of Indiana, however, stuck to his colored friends, and voted against Parker. Robinson is to be highly commended for his act, while Watson deserves to be severely rebuked. WASHINGTON.—With the majority of votes against him Judge John J. Parker, of North Carolina, was formally rejected by the senate Wednesday as unfit by experience and judicial temperament to serve as an associate justice of the United States Supreme court. Parker lost the confirmation of the senate by a narrow margin of two votes, 41 to 39.

President Hoover was surprised when he received the report of Parker's rejection by phone. It was stated he expected a close vote but was assured that the nomination would be confirmed. This is the first time in thirty-six years the senate has failed to confirm a presidential nominee to the Supreme bench. There is a belief that President Hoover may let the vacancy stand until Congress reconvenes next fall, which would permit Judge Parker to remain on the Federal bench and assure him of renomination, although this proceedure is considered unlikely by the president. —FOR Cleaning and Pressing Pressing Machines and Very Good Inqu Home Dyers 20-22 East Value K With Smart NEW SPRIN FOR SALE— All Pressing Shop Equipped with Machines and Shoe Shining Stand.

Glenn Harris, candidate for state legislature, not only was re- nominated, but received the largest number of votes of any candidate run- ning for state legislature. The man that the Johnson—Brad ford machine and the old city hal! gang used more unfair tricks to cast unfavorable reflections upon his can- didacy—Joseph B. Kyle, candidate for sheriff, was nominated over his op- ponent by more than four to one. The man that the Johnson gang dis- liked more strongly than any other candidate—State Senator William F. Hodges, also went over with a fav- orable ‘majority. In. reply to the claims made by the city hall gang to the effect that they are responsible for the nomination of Ward Calder for county clerk and Margarette Szikora for townshiy trustee, has come a clear and devasta- ting reply. This reply points out tha Calder was nominated because of his great popularity and because of his long service in the clerk’s office as chie deputy for 14 years. The reply further points out that Miss Szikora was nominated, not be- cause of the Johnson gang, but in spite of them, since they had “double- crossed” her a week before the pri- mary. It was her great popularity among the voters, her energetic cam- paigning, and the failure of the Coth- ery organization to regard her seri- ously, while concentrating their ef- forts against Mullen and Earnest, which combined to give her the nom- ination. Sympathy of the voters over her mistreatment by the city hal! gang was a mighty factor in her fav- or. The Johnson—Bradford city hall gang, in its efforts to get a strangle hold upon our county, state and town- ship offices, has been thoroughly beat- en as a result of Tuesday's election. THE GARY AMERICAN is proud to have had a part in bringing about this defeat of a group of insincere politicians who are unworthy of pub- lie trust, unfaithful to public confi dence, and not deserving of public con- sideration. When Mayor R. O. Johnson threw the petition of 300 colored voters in the waste basket, City Chairman Wil liam Weir stated at that time that Johnson would have to “eat it up.” He has eaten already. He will have to eat some more. He will have swallow and gulp down his unkind insult to Gary Negroes.

Williams, Negro “voodoo” whose Ill-fated Voodoo Escapades Ended in a Lor expert and doctor “Of Lake City, Florida, and New Or- Term Sentence in the Federal Penitentiary. leans, La.” is languishing in the United States peniten- tiary at Atlanta, Ga. Williams, a large, powerful-looking and “slick’-looking Negro with a hundred-thousand-dollar front, was sent to the Atlanta Federal prison for two years by the United States District Court at Jack- sonville, Florida, in January on a charge of using the United States mails to defraud. The case against Williams was worked up by Postal Inspector J. O. Jones, of Atlanta. One of the complainants was an aged colored woman of Georgia who sent to the “Professor” about $30 by mail for a cure for rheumatism and the restoration some of her youthful sprightliness. According to “Aunt Ellen,” the complainant in this instance, the secret formula of the “voodoo” doctor was as follows: The “Professor” wrote a letter on which he carefully placed some red dots, sup- posed by the patients to have been made with the blood of some animal sacred in ‘‘voodoo” practice, such as a graveyard rabbit, or something of the kind, but which dots were, without any doubt, made with red ink. The patient was to take this letter and burn it and then put the ashes carefully in a wash tub well filled with water. She was to take a bath in the mixture. After taking the bath the patient must dry on a clean towel and mail the towel to the “Professor” at his headquarters at Lake City, Florida. As to that, not even the court denied this was very good medicine as far as it went! ' This was not the first time that attempts were made to catch the “Professor” for fraudulent use of the mail, it has been said, but heretofore it has been impossible to get evidence sufficient to convict. None of his victims cared to have the “Professor” cast into the four winds powder from pulverized red roots dug in the yard of a haunted house, as a “voodoo” agency to cast a spell over them in revenge By EYE G. BILLINGS because they testified against him. They were afraid to tell on him. This time, however, there was plenty of evidence. The postal de- partment of the Federal govern- ment had the power to get in touch with the hundreds of correspondents of the “professor” who had_ sent money to him at Lake City, Flori- da, and secure plenty of evidence. Money orders were not so much in evidence before. Sensing that he would probably get a long sentence if he allowed the case to be tried before a jury, the crafty “Profes- sor” entered a plea of guilty to the charge against him and was sen- 'tenced to two years in the Federal prison by Judge Lake Jones, judge of the US. District Court at Jack- sonville. The “Professor” snared his vic- tims largely through the circulation of thousands of cards advertising his alleged powers. The card is repro- duced on this page. The picture of the black cat on the card presented an inference that .the “Professor” was able to nullify the bad luck brought by black cats. The class who answered the cards of the “Professor” considered it very bad luck, for instance, for a black cat to cross the road or street in front of them. The “Professor” had the cards printed in enormous quantities. One job shop turned out 25,000 of them, and, incidentally was cheated out of most of the charges for the work. It is supposed that he had adver- tisements published in certain peri- odicals — Negro newspapers, per- ; an oS ae nat ay es Eh ae 4g ED re 4. dN I This exceedingly well clothed young lady represents the “professor's” . secretary, aa a cao ae haps, but just what mediums he employed is not known. It is be- lieved that the “Professor” had them distributed to good prospects by agents in various parts of the coun- ry. After the “Professor” received bites and money orders and one dol- lar bills he entered into correspond- ence with the “suckers” to get them to get a complete course to cure their diseases, get them out of trouble, overcome their enemies, get the men or women they wanted or to hold the ones they already had, overcome evil spirits, get them out of jail, make money, or whatever his correspondents wanted to ac- complish. Many who answered the cards sent him a much larger sum than the initial dollar. His business was so large for a time that he had a secretary to help him take care of his correspondence. George O. Jacobs, the postmaster at Lake City, said Williams cashed satchels of money orders at the Lake City postoffice, not to mention the remittances in the form of pa- per money. These money orders were from Washington, D.C., Brook- lyn, Virginia, New Orleans and many other parts of the country. The “Professor” gave his clients whatever form of “voodoo” art they wanted, if they preferred a partic- ular kind, it was easy to prepare the exact concoction. Roots of vari- ous kinds and roots of distinctive color pulverized into dust are em- ployed extensively by the “voodoo” doctors.

It never failed to bring him a large number of customers. quarters, especially dimes, are also used. The coins are kept in a certain chemical or acid in bottles by the sorcerers and after they are removed from the bottles they turn slightly dark when exposed to the air. Turning dark is a sign that the “doc- tor” is on the job and that the charm is in working order. The “doc- tors” ask ten and fifteen dollars each for the magic coins and frequently obtain this exorbitant price. Turpentine camps were “meat” for the “Professor.” Negro labor is employed almost exclusively except as to manager and foremen and at some camps some of the foremen are colored. At one camp near Lake City the en ee nce that there was considerable unrest and excitement among the Negro workers and their families. Later on the manager learned that a good many of the Negroes believed that some one had scattered dirt from graves from a nearby Negro cemetery around some of their houses. The ones who believed in this superstition, and a great many of them do, thought the ghosts of the persons buried in the graves from which the dirt was taken would haunt their homes. Turpentine operators have been known to hire “voodoo” doctors to go to the camps of rival operators to perform their quackery and to let it be known that certain houses, especially those of the best’ work- ers, are under an evil spell, in order to frighten the inhabitarits away so they can get them to come to their camps to work. At the camp near Lake City a number did leave during the ex- citement. Along about this time the manager noticed that “Professor” Wil- liams was visiting the camp but he nev- er found out whether the “Professor” was responsible for the -excitement or whether he had been retained.to lay the ghosts, or eradicate whatever trouble was on hand. He said the “Professor” had secured around $300 out of his labor before he found him out and run him off. After the “Professor” had been at the camp, he said, dimes or quarters could be seen on the ankles of some thirty or forty of the women. During the excitement. Sam Alexander, one of his laborers, broke out of his house with loud whoops of terror at midnight one night during a hard storm, declaring that a weird looking “hant” was in the house. Three or four new shingles on the house, however, settled Sam’s nerves and he was no longer afraid to enter the house again.

Rod wrestled with the temptation to call the girl and tell her what he had done in the way of getting rid of their enemy Wolf, but decided that it would be better to wait until he knew that Wolf was really behind the bars. Something might go wrong —Wolf might not be there. A thousand things could happen. The few days that intervened before the fight, fled rapidly. Each day Rod made his appearance at the gym, going through light training before large crowds of eager spectators, whose numbers increased as the time for the bout approached. Clad in his silk tights, he added much to the color and mystery that the newspaper stories had thrown around him. He found himself growing highly impatient and irritable as the day approached, but Kling only rubbed his hands. Nervousness and irritability, Kling said, were only natural evidences of a state of tension which was good for any fighter before his fight. Rod, however, had a miserable time fo it. Lyla did not call him, and since he had resolved not to call her, he kept his word to himself. He awakened each morning with a sense of expectancy which the day failed to satisfy. Finally, Saturday morning came. The newspapers were full of the impending bout between Rod and Latzo, almost to the exclusion of what was intended to be the major attraction the fight between the light-heavyweight champ, and his opponent. At two o'clock in the afternoon Rod and Latzo met at the offices of the boxing commission to weigh in. Latzo wore a smile of high confidence and was completely at his ease. Rod, however, was like a high-strung race horse eager for getaway. In answer to Latzo's tantalizing smile he could only scowl in return. In accordance with his manager's instructions. Rod had not shaved for two days, and a slight growth of beard together with his tumbled hair, which he had forgotten to brush, gave him the appearance of a half wild creature. As the two fighters stood close by the scales with only towels wrapped around them, newspaper men boomed their flashlights at them again. They were asked innumerable questions, which Latzo answered easily, and Rod with monosyllables. LATZO'S MANAGER AFRAID Kling hovered around with an enigmatic smile. Watching him, Karnes was patently uneasy, in spite of his usual air of suave complacency. There was something in Kling's manner which betrayed that even if his fighter were nervous, he had an idea that things were highly in his favor. Knowing Kling to be an almost unerring judge of fighters, Karnes felt a momentary twinge of uneasiness. He had taken the fight simply because he believed that Rod would be a set-up for the more experienced Mickey, and he knew that with a championship match as the reward to the winner of the bout, he could not afford to take chances. Karnes called his fighter aside after he had resumed his clothes. "Listen, Mick," he said in low tones, "you want to watch this Cowboy tonight. I don't know really how good he is, but Kling is wearing a smile like a cat which has just lapped up a big bowl of cream—or maybe see's a big bowl of cream in sight. And we're not supplying any cream tonight, see?" Latzo grunted contemptuously. "Humph! I'm not worrying any. Why, don't I know that this is the guy's first professional start?

What do you think I've been fighting all these years for?" "Well, just be on the lookout, because I've got a hunch that maybe you're in for a tougher session than you know." "Aw, forget it. You're worse than an old woman!" Latzo muttered. Kelly took Rod in charge after they left the commissioner's office. Kling had given him orders not to let Rod get out of his sight until time for the fight. LAST MINUTE PREPARATION The two fighters went to hotel near the Arena where the fight was to be held. Kelly led Rod into the dining room. "I'm not hungry. Kelly," Rod protested. "What's that got to do with it?" Kelly bantered good naturedly. "You're going to eat a walloping big steak and then we're going for a long walk. Just leave things to me and I'll have you feeling mighty fine tonight." Accordingly, though he had no appetite at all, Rod dutifully consumed the large, rare porterhouse steak which his companion ordered for him. He was not permitted to drink anything but water, and Kelly would not let him eat even a slice of bread. After the meal, Kelly led Rod into the street. They walked slowly to Michigan Boulevard, where the blond fighter guided Rod to the lake shore. For an hour and a half they strolled slowly along the beach, then circled so that they eventually arrived back at the hotel from which they started. In a hotel room, Kelly bade Rod disrobe and get into bed. "Say, what's the big idea," Rod demanded. "First, you nearly walk me to death, then you put me to bed. You know perfectly well that I couldn't sleep a wink if I tried all afternoon." "No back talk, young feller," Kelly ordered with mock brusqueness. "You just do as I tell you, and when you wake up you'll be feeling like licking ten Mickeys!" To his great surprise Rod found that after a few minutes in bed he was drowsy. Noticing his drooping eyelids, Kelly laughed. "Told you you'd be sleepy." he recalled. "That's what that big steak and the walk was for; to give you strength, and the walk was to digest When the Real Thing Comes Along Get It!

OFF FOR THE FIGHT When Kelly awakened him. lights were glowing on the street outside. The roar of the downtown evening traffic came into the room strongly. Rod sat up. bewildered. "What time is it? Where am I? What—" "Aw, shut up, you big goof," Kelly commanded with rough affection. "Get up out of that bed and get into your fight togs. You wear em to the Arena under your street clothes, see?

Returning to this country she joined Charles Asbury in an act that was known as "The Virginia Duo." They opened at the old Museum Theatre in New York City.

So one day during the early fall of 1927, she entered very quietly the rehearsal room at the Guild Theatre. Rouben Mamoulian, the Russo-Armenian director of "Porgy," asked her to sing some old Negro folk-songs for him. She asked for a guitar. One was found. Then in a charming and graceful manner this old lady with lovely white hair and a smiling countenance, sat on a stool in the center of the room and played a gay tune known as, "All the Gold in the Mountain." This song is sung in the scene of the play showing the return from the picnic. As she sang and played, one heard other prospective members of the cast say: "She has her job." And it was so. For the director of the play and other officials of the Guild realized that here was one of the finest actors for their play. During the rehearsals of "Porgy," Director Mamoulian discovered Mrs. Madison was having some trouble retaining her lines in the part of Annie. Whenever she was given her que to speak, she came back with a line that was not in the script, but one that was nevertheless very clever. So it was finally decided that she would be allowed to create her own lines and bits of atmosphere if they fitted in. One of the finest bits in the play is that between Annie (Mrs. Madison) and Jake, the fisherman (Wesley Hill) during the scene of the return from the picnic. She also has a line in the second scene of the last act that always brings roars of laughter. "Porgy" is now ending its long run of two years and a half, being a tremendous success wherever it played. This includes a year on Broadway, and part of last season on the road, sailing for London later, where it played for three months. This season it has repeated its success on the road. During their long run, Ella Madison has become "Mother" to every member of the cast. She speaks of them as her children. Two of her birthdays have been celebrated by the cast the first one in Philadelphia, at the Garrick Theatre in May, 1928, where a party was held on the stage; another in London in May, 1929, at His Majesty's Theatre, where she was presented a large cake and flowers. When "Porgy" sailed on March 25, 1929, for its London engagement, Ella Madison went abroad for the tenth time. She stood the voyage like a regular seaman—illness being one of the PORO COLD CREAM The truly beautiful complexion is the result of cleansing the skin thoroughly every day to purge it of the dirt and grime that are in the air.

During the past fifty years, she hasn't had a day's serious illness. In the fall of 1928, Mrs. Madison discoverer her eldest sister living in Weedsport, N.Y. She paid her a visit while "Porgy" was playing in Rochester. It was their first meeting since 1888. Mrs. Victoria Northup is the name of her sister. She is the wife of Solomon Northup, the slave who assisted Harriet Tubman in bringing the slaves through the Underground Railway. Mrs. Madison is the youngest of ten children, and her sister is the oldest. She is an invalid, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, whose parents are of both races. When Ella Robinson-Madison was a small girl her pet name was "Pidge." Her sister now sits by a window waiting for "Pidge" to return from Dublin, where she last remembers her going, since her mind is feeble. Mrs. Madison endeavors to get as much joy out of life as she possibly can. She has a dog whose full name is Florence Rochet Matilda Madison. But Matilda, is what she is called. No dog receives greater care. Once Mrs. Madison went to purchase a license for her pet. Upon being asked the name of the dog, she said: "Florence Rochet Matilda Madison." The clerk at the desk quite sternly replied: "I don't want your name, but the dog's." She is saving a large portion of her earnings for the day when she is too old to care for herself. Then she will take Matilda, and go "over the hills to the old folks home," where she will pay for them to be well cared for, that they may always be together.

At fength. feeling the blood coursing swiftly through him, and a slight perspiration dampening his body, he sat down while Kelly. under Kling’s keen supervision wound the layers of gauze and tape around his hands which boxers use to keep from break- ing or injuring their fighting imple- ments. Just as Kelly finished, a call boy stuck his head in the door. “All right Mr, Kling, the last fight's over. Your boy is due on now. The boss says come on in.” Kelly threw Rod’s brilliant dress- ing gown around his shoulders. At the door Kling halted Rod. His face was serious, “Now, my boy.” he said gently, “I'm hoping that you’re gonna win. I want that you should try hard. I'm not going to tell you how to make your fight. And if you lose, you don’t have to feel bad. because I’m just a silly old man who has maybe over- matched his fighter.” There was a suspicious moisture in Rod’s manager's eyes. He turned away abruptly and went out of the door. Kelly and Rod exchanged glances. “I told you it would break his heart if you didn’t win, Cowboy,” Kelly whispered. ROD DOWN FOR A COUNT Rod’s jaw hardened, but he said nothing. The distance to the pe was cov- ered pickly amid the tumultuous shouts of the thousands of fight fans. Latzo had already reached the ring and sat unflurried in his corner. A new box of gloves was opened, and were quickly donned by the two fight- ers. The referee called them to their corners, to await the gong which would send them together in battle. The glaring lights overhead and the sea of faces outside the ring made the whole scene blur in Rod's eyes and mind. When the _ gong clanged he moved toward the center of the ring automatically. As Latzo danced lightly toward him, Rod seemed to see his enemy in a haze which made him assume grotesque Proportions. His opponent's eyes seemed to gleam malevolently, while the rest of his body seemed suspend- ed in thin air. Then they came together. Rod never remembered what happened until the floor seemed to rise up and smite him with terrible force in the ace. He could hear the roaring of the crowd beating into his benumbed consciousness, wave on wave. He seemed also to hear Kling’s voice bleating like a wounded lamb some- where far away. He turned over on his back laboriously. A man whose face swam dizzily before his eyes was raising and lowering his hand slowly, while his voice tolled off the fatal count: “One—two—three—four.” Roo blinked and shook his head. Somehow he managed to get to one knee, then a wave of dizziness swept over him and he tumbled back to the floor in a limp heap. The referee’s count continued in- exorably: “—five—six—seven—eight. _ (END OF CHAPTER TEN) (Continued Next Week) ees SPANISH DELIGHT Two lettuce hearts cut in quarters, two ripe tomatoes peeled and quar- tered, one cucumber cut in dice, one Sweet Spanish pepper, shredded. two sprigs of parsley cut fine. two hard- boiled eggs, sliced, salt and pepper to taste.

They believed that if their women carried on with other men while they were away the power of the roots would make them confess their indiscretions when they returned. That the "Professor" tried to work money out of persons in jail was proven in the case of a woman in a Georgia town sentenced to be hanged recently. She asked for a new trial on the ground that the authorities had secured the correspondence between herself and Williams and had used it in the case against Williams. The "Professor" was quite a sport and drove a big car around Lake City. He spent money lavishly in Lake City. He operated a pool room and a cafe for several months, on the side, and his cash register was robbed frequently. In Lake City there is a Negro school known as a Rosenwald school, established by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who contributed to the expense of erecting the building. One proviso in making a donation is that the patrons of the school themselves must raise $500 or $1,000 or some specified sum, in order to demonstrate their desire for a school building before the Rosenwald fund assists. Being a man of money "Professor" Williams was called on for a donation to help raise the patrons' quota and he responded with a sizable sum, it is said, although he was working against his own interest education works against the "voodoo" business. At one time the "Professor" organized a brass band and a ball club among the young people of the school and the colored section of the town. Williams attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama at one time. He had been in Lake City about a year and a half when arrested. Released on bond after his arrest, he laughed as if his superstitious practices were a joke when asked about his mail order business. He was arrested several times and paid heavy fines in Lake City for selling liquor. He also had trouble with the police in Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville and New Orleans.

If it is desirable to achieve a decorative effect—to cut the slices into odd shapes and sprinkle them with paprika or parsley—show your patrons the courtesy of providing an additional dish of quartered lemons, so that the juice may be easily squeezed on to the fish. Lemon juice added to sweet milk will sour it suitably for cooking. Add a small amount of lemon juice and grated rind in stewing such dried fruits as prunes, figs, peaches and so on. Tough meats will be made tender by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to water in which they are boiled. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS HELP WANTED—MALE BANKRUPT AND BARGAIN SALES - Big Profits.
