She had not seen him since her wedding day until now, when she had been in the Florida sunken across the Florida sand. She "have waited for you to come" she said. "The years have been filled with work," he said briefly. How fine he was. He seemed to retain all of his memories of his humorous mouth that once had been grimly unamusing. He have never maimed.

"Hide out with me in the early morning, in a garden filled with roses, bellflower, orange trees, overwash with yellow jasmine, and blasting with scarlet fire." She said, "and then, the beach and the sea." "Poor boy—so alone" she murmured. He began to be irritated by her tone. He had believed he was rather to be emitted out there in his own place, but he was not. "The society of society to which she was devoted, she was mistaken. Out in that island paradise there was a woman—she was not." She continued, "family loving bit of femininity, the sister of one of his partners.

Some Fundamental Laws Gated 1. God alone to be worshiped (v. 1). 2. God is a Jesus God, therefore he cannot tolerate a rival. There must be no idolatry. God is to have none. 3. God is to have no rivalry. The Sabbath must be observed 1. The one who has enthroned God in his heart will reverence His Sabbath. 2. The Sabbath was ordained that man might better cherish God in his heart. 3. The one who needs to frequent the sanctuary of God in色色 to have his soul refreshed. Respect for God's holy day and the frequency of the sanctuary of God in色色 to hear and reverence God. 1. Blessings for Obedience to God in II. Blessings for Obedience to God's Laws (vv. 8-13). 1. Fruitful seasons (vy, 3-5). Temporal well-being is secured through obedience to God's government. Goddiness is profitable unto all mankind. Goddiness is that life that now and is that which will come. 2. Internal security (v. 68). In addition to the fitness of them that obey God, they must be for obedience to His Word He would grant peace and safety. No robberies to invade the land to rob them. No robberies to rob the night. No wild beasts would be allowed to devour them. 4. Their number would be multiplied according to God's covenant to Abraham and the produce of the land in obedience to God. 4. God's abiding presence (vv. 11-18). The greatest of all God's blessings is His abiding presence. Happy that nation and people in whose presence God chooses to dwell. 5. All ministries for Diebiosis (vv. 14-18). 1. Judgments in general (vv. 14-17). For disobedience and rejection of God's laws, general calimauctions would be taken upon them. They include: 1. Physical diseases. Their health would be taken away and they were to be taken away. (2) Bereavement. Physical disease would take away kindred and friends, and sorrow of sorrow of heart, and mourning. (3) Famine. God would withhold the rain, therefore food supply would be reduced. (4) Conquest. They would be slain before their enemies. (5) Oppression and dispersion. God would oppress and overcrowd, and oppress them and ultimately take them out of their own land and sector them. (6) The specific judgments (vv. 18-19). Mercies rejected and warnings unheeded must be followed by more severe warnings and more severe warnings are pointed out by Kyleglo, each condition on the suppression of the preceding experience. Each species is prefaced by the formula, "I will punish you seven times more for your sins." This thought is that each new display of impendence on Israel's part shall be marked by increasing severity. (7) The children and adults will be burdened by wild bears (vv. 19, 20). (8) Their children and adults will be burdened by wild bears (vv. 19, 20). (9) This to be followed by war, pestilence and famine (vv. 25, 28). If the previous judgments were not backed their server once would follow and the server would eat the flesh of their sons and daughters and their seed should become waste and their land so deocleaned the same examples would be assigned at it. 5. Scattered among the Gentiles (v. 88). God would scatter them among the heathen and pursue them with the fulfillment in the history of that people The Happiest Homes The happiest, sweetest, tenderest bones are not those where there has been a broken heart. They are overshadowed with grief and where Christ's comfort was accepted.

She was granted a new trial. At the hearing a plea will be made to the case to the juvenile court. An article appeared in one of the weekly papers, with a sattement purporting to come from Thelma Dabon the Co-operative Juvenile Delinquent Workers had visited her, or tried to give any assistance. The mother of Thelma vigorously denied that any such statement had been handed out to her.

Mrs. V. B. Thompson, N. Parrell, C. Azamare and other juvenile delinquent workers have repeatedly visited her and in some cases have invited the president of the Co-operative Workers, Mrs. V. B.

ALEXIS CHOSEN NEW PRINCIPAL M' DONOUGH 35 MENTAL STRAIN AFFECTS MIND OF COLORED BASEBALL LEADER; COMMITTED TO INSANE ASYLUM MENTAL STRAIN AFFECTS MIND OF COLORED BASEBALL LEADER; COMMITTED TO INSANE ASYLUM Chicago, Ill.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—After a confinement of eight days in a local psychopathic hospital for observation and examination, Andrew ("Rube") Foster, president and founder of the Negro National League, and manager of the American Giants, was declared mentally irresponsible and transferred to Kankakee, Illinois, last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Foster, according to those close to him in his work, has been showing the effects of his strenuous labor for some months, and friends repeatedly advised a long rest for him, but he refused to stop, saying that the game needed him and more so at that time than at any other period. However, he finally went to Michigan for a couple of weeks, only to be brought back to Chicago on account of urgent business of the league. He never returned. The company will henceforth return to Chicago. It will be numbered that last year playing with the organization Mr. Foster, while in Indianapolis with his club, was severely gassed in a bathroom where he was stopping at that time due to a leak in the gas pipe of a car. The effects of this experience, coupled with the many worries of his ball club and the business of the league, should endure Foster to baseball players and club owners all over the country, and he has befriended many players whom he has in contact with and whom he will meet. Fought Way Upwards From Ranks. Organized Giants and Later a League. Rube started foraging inside a big way in Chicago in 1911 when he formed Giants baseball club and by bringing to best his knowledge of the game going in great style and known from playing in the major leagues to create a desire in the fans to have other clubs of this type formed into a M. Foster added the final jewel to his collection. He founded the Negro National League at Kansas City, Mo., along with the time Tyler and others. At the time they were only three colored ball clubs in America on a salary which, compared to the salaries Jump $30,000 to $275,000, Salaries Lump $30,000 to $275,000, National League, the club owner pays in salaries to players on an aver MT. CORINTH BAPTIST REV. A. HUBBARD, Pastor. Asst. Sgt. J. Hurt and his corps of teachers were greeted with a large number of flowers from Mrs. Nowlin; which was very impressive. Prof. Mathtews gave a short presentation at 11 a.m. Professor Pattar Burhoun preached a wonderful sermon. At 6 p.m. she gave a short program was presented; a short speech program was presented; the banquet group, night's service was fine; Rev. M. J. Battie preached "Messes. Calles Fouls and Lilies." The banquet group, Monday, 2:20 p.m.; Bibble Band, Wednesday 9 a.m.; C. D. Alex. Tahleem Belle New Male Dressing "Tahleem's DREW STORE" playing season. With the organization of the East and South following in the wake of the National League, the sale of the team to the National League $25,000 per season for the entire organized force. These figures alone account for 80% of the club and ditch owners all over the country. He has been a real friend to ball players, and he has been a friend to whom he came in contact with from whom he never expected to get anything in return for his considerations. Promoted First World Series. The honor of promoting the first coerced world series goes to Foster, who won the 1969 World Series, making this series possible by bringing peace between the two league after the 1968 series, both teams caused by players of both leagues jumping clubs and going into another section to play. This has been defended by the 1970 World Series, East or West can leave and go to either league without the consent of the league. It was one of the fondest hopes of the club that his club, the American Giants, year and play the Eastern pennant winner for the world championship game, and they are to be realized as the Giants are leading the league and should they beat Kansas City in the playoff series they will play in the Great Loss to Baseball. The passing of Foster from the active service in the baseball world will be remembered and know and love him, big-beared sportman, business man, and above all know and love him. He will be felt more keenly by his associates in the baseball world. He had for a long time been a leader and leader and his place will not be filled very easily. His friends are not afraid of him, and colored in all walks of life. Just what will be the effect upon the league team in the fall. However, the league will probably not be known until very much very much during the period which is sure to follow in the fall. The league will missed very much during the period which is sure to follow in the fall. The baseball and the league. From present indications the club owners are going to miss the season with whatever changes they need to make. G. J. h. Key, who is the vice president of the league, will finish out the season in the place of Y. M. C. A. DOINGS The Y. M. C.

You can advertise them alone, because many things you see advertised are the things you buy and use in your regular daily life. By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most essential. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you. A good many people have learned a whole lot good, because they have learned healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the house and grounds looking well—they've learned all these things and many other things just by reading advertisements. Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn a lot helpful and valuable to you as you go through life. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1926 Dr. Thomas J. Hackett, M.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1926 HOUSTON NEGROES WIN GREAT VICTORY. When District Attorney Merton Harris at Brenham, Washington County, dismissed the criminal assault charges, last Thursday, against Luther Collins, race youth arrested in 1922 for an alleged attack upon a local white woman, the action brought to a close a stiff legal battle stretching over nearly five years, and saved a innocent man either from the electric chair or the state penal institution. When the alleged crime was committed few persons here, white or black, believed that the accused man was guilty, yet testimony in the trial court was insufficient, and a saved an innocent man either from the electric chair or the state penal institution. When the alleged crime was committed few persons here, white or black, believed that the accused man was guilty, yet testimony in the trial court was insufficient, and a saved an innocent man either from the electric chair or the state penal institution. As a result of the first trial here on February 27, 1922, the colored man, wholly upon the evidence of the complainant and notwithstanding that he proved a good alibi, was assessed the death penalty. Evidence collected after the original trial, along with testimony in the trial court, was submitted to the court of criminal appeals and the case was reversed and remanded for another trial. At the second trial "staged" here on March 17, 1924, the jury remained out 40 hours and failed to agree on a verdict, it being rumored at the time that seven stood for acquittal and five for conviction, but none for capital punishment. On his own motion Judge Robinson transferred the case to Fort Bend county, where, as was to be expected, the colored youth was given life imprisonment. Again the case was carried to the court of criminal appeals, and the higher court reversed the decision of the lower court and held that the evidence adduced during the trial was not sufficient to convict the accused man. The case was transferred to Washington County in 1926, and bail was secured for the defendant for the first time since his arrest, incarceration and arraignment in 1922, four leading white men signing the bond along with four race men. After resetting his trial once in Washington County, the state prosecutor was not ready for the prosecution of the case, it was called last Thursday at Bremen with the resultant action by the state's attorney. In the acquittal of Collins, the Negroes of Houston have won a sweeping victory and have demonstrated what can be accomplished for justice, law and order with the right type of leader. When the youth was arrested and indicted, there was a conviction shared among the colored citizens of Houston that he was innocent and that the attempt to railroad him to the gallows (the electric chair had not been introduced in Texas then), was nothing more than legalized lynch law and that instead of legal prosecution, the court had denied it. Consequently, the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with O. P. DeWalt as president, ably assisted by the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, employed counsel to fight the case and during the trials and appeals raised that $2,000 for the legal defense of this case. The court should not be victimized by lynch law of the supposed legal species. Much credit is also due the law firm of Mathis and Mathis (white), father and son, for the able manner in which they tried the cases and perfected their appeals to the higher court. They were ethical in their defense of their client, and did not swerve away from the identity principle because of the racial connections of the complainant and defendant. It seems a tragedy that an innocent man should be confined in prison for such a long period, being denied all his constitutional rights without any legal recourse; for the long wait, several trials and awful suspense most assuredly had a terrible effect upon the constitution and bill of rights; for there is certainly no justice, fairness or equity in such procedure, and it only tends to breed increasing disrespect for legal tribunals and those essaying on the constitution. In raising this neat sum of money for the defense of Collins, no member of the race was injured financially or otherwise, and not one was considered "radical" or "dangerous" for so doing; and this only goes to show what we can do in safeguarding our rights—legal, political, civil and otherwise—if we will only subdue the race and spend large sums of money for securing the rights of another American citizen and contend in the courts for those rights and privileges guaranteed to every American citizen under the constitution and its amendments. As often stated in these columns, it seems hard that a race of people must raise and spend large sums of money for securing the rights of another American citizen; but since this seems to be one way out of a bad and nasty city'ion, we should ever be willing The Houston Informer and readily to write our forces and finance for legal acts to obtain redress and relief from oppressive and repressive measures, prac- The Mirror-- As one swallow does not make a summer, neither does one adverse decision in a court of original jurisdiction or higher tribunal (e.g., a court of appeals) that is not favorable action should only nerve us for a harder and more hectic fight for our constitutional and inalienable rights and perogea. (Continued from Page One) Coolidge presidential electors barely received 100,000 votes. 1954 for the republicans was dominated by "Brown Boos" Cresman, to support and vote for a Klan chief, but with the klan men for their support and vote for Kandate George C. Jute, the former candidate George C. Huey, the former verity; but now when the klan issue is virtually dead (or at least in summa Brownies, despite the fact that his own wife is a Klan member) in its platform arrogates unto himself the power and authority to hambat and exorcize the klan. What the republican party did regard ing and touching upon the kluxers in The Informer takes this occasion to congratulate and felicitate the team, and to remind them that this paper sincerely hopes that our group, here and everywhere, real lesson from this legal fight and ultimate victory; for the battle is not strong, nor the race to the swift, but to him to the team. TWO DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS PASS AWAY. The Negro race, America and the social family suffered an irretrievable loss during last week, when two of the race's leading educators, scholars and schoolmen answered the summons of the Grim Reaper and "slept with their fathers." Dr. Joseph A. Booker, for 38 years president of Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock, Arkansas, succumbed almost suddenly while attending the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, in Fort Worth, Texas, last week; while Dr. W. S. Scarborough, for Ohio, and one of the leading educators of the country, expired at his home in Ohio after a lingering illness. Married the republican bison is more graveled and paired because it appears to be more aggressive than to tie its kite to the coat tail of Dan Mooney, democratic gubernator of Haines, Alaska, and H. Haines of Houston, the republican gubernator nonname; yet Col. W. Haines of this week, is reported as saying that all the Ferguson governors will rally to oppose the war and that he (Haines) will be victorious over Mooney in the autumn election. Both men had spent the major portion of their careers in the educational realm, and though identified with different denominational groups, their lives were the source of much inspiration to the youths of the race. While Dr. Booker labored in the South and Dr. Scarborough chiefly in the North, each left his indelible impress upon the hearts of their fellowmen, and the world is better than ever the two men who have been toward the amelioration of the condition of their race and society. This is some optimism in the face of less than 14,000 votes cast in the party primary for the two candidates aspiring for the party nomination for Little did the editor of The Informer realize last week, when he read a letter from a student of hard and unselfish service at Arkansas Baptist College, that tinguished educator would be cold in the arms of death before the appearance of the article, and that said editorial comment would be ignored. If Cranger and its regime would spend more time trying to build up the federal government, less time in playing to the galleries, issuing wild-wedded statements and uttering anti-political predictions, as the president has done in real republican electors, the republican party would regain some of its loss. It would be the party that would be the party of all the people rather than the organization of the federal employee, their familial and economic ties. Nowadays the great question is not how a man died and what he said before expiring, but how well he lived and what he did for the cause of humanity while alive. Measured with such a tapeline and given full appraisal for their full worth, these men were among earth's noblemens and they were great because of the unselfish service they rendered mankind. In the past, they were the most beloved long years of service as educational leaders, but both bequeathed to posterity a rich legacy from a well-sent and beneficial life. Passing Parade The success or failure of a man's life should not be measured solely in dollars and cents and material substance, which are quite important and have their part in the world in which we live; neither should life be necessarily counted in terms of years—for both men and women, in fact, both men were pioneers in the educational field, and the high place that Wilberforce University now holds among the leading institutions of learning in America is due, largely, to the untiring efforts and able leadership of Dr. Scarborough; while the niche that Arkansas Baptist College occupies among the leading colleges in the country is of years of hard and ceaseless work on the part of Dr. Rocker. What's become of that old northern? Our weather man needs a vacation; he's getting as unreliable. as my inventory. _____ The elevator boy says everybody you see on the bag isn't going on the train. Having been faithful over a few things on this terrestrial sphere and having endured unto the end, these two distinguished educators and leaders are now rulers over many things in the celestial region and are enjoying the eternal rest to which only the faithful will return. Everybody prushing to the *Union* station to see the Wiley College special off; grie all chucking Wrigley's and boys thrumming a knee. There's Prof. W. L. D. Johnson with his son, who is going to Prairie. We'll be there. To the sorrowing families and relatives, The Informer expresses its profoundest sympathy, and commends them to the Great Physician who is fully able to heal every earthly sorrow and wipe away every tear from their eyes. And Uuncle Paul, (Prof. P. E. Bledson) who's been down visiting with the county teachers, looking for a ride to the park, said by nick, names every sprig of grass. YOUNG STUDENTS OFF FOR SCHOOL. Thousands of young people are leaving and have left their various homes for matriculation in the several institutions of learning throughout America, and Houston has contributed her quota of these eager, energetic and enthusiastic youths. Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Dillon, and the two little Dillons, just arrived from an overland trip to Philadelphia. "Women crowding in a Main Street store, ruining $10-completion and $15-completion," she said, two costs at the bargain counter. The Informer believes in education and the best obtainable for our race; but this paper is unalterably opposed to an education that unfits young people for service and that leads them away from their families and their race. Moreover, The Informer does not think much of those who will spend considerable money for the educational training of their children. The Informer, for instance, not open any avenue of decent and profitable employment for those young people when they complete their educational careers. Gee! goel! look! look at the wild man that's his Pat. Abnormity of Prince Wes, who came to town for his fall shake. And there goes Atry, M. W. C. Dick son, who has been hunting and around his old home town Crookett. The Holy Writ declares that he who provides not for his own benefit is not a Christian, and that he who does not challenge if this is true (and we neither doubt nor challenge this scriptural doctrine), our race is certainly toheavy with infidels, many of whom are not Christians, our churches and preach and praise the loudest about their religion. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Jones enjoying the eveing breeze in their new "hupp." It is utter folly and nonsense to educate our children and then expect them to return to menial and service positions; for when you educate any man or woman, boy or girl, you unfit him or her for a slave, or to even serve in the role of a serf. Don't know how he knows, but the elevator boy says J. P. drove his discarded Dodge ten years and never got 50 miles from the court house. Yes, let's educate our children—let's give them the best education obtainable but let's also provide some avenue of decent and lucrative opportunities. We have children of other races because they do not "fire" or relegate their children and give our some nice positions in the firms and enterprises. Bill Ponder and the "Lizzie" hit for some Fifth Ward compress. Bill is as busy, since cotton began to be made, as a noiseguard man in an ankle sign. Reading: Cotton ponders want the. elevator boy says he wouldn't mind picking the cotton if they would take off those old sticker things and put them in the closet. If we are not going to do this, then it were better that we cease educating our children, and stop the waste of money and time that we spend on jobs that require no educational training and preparation to fill. Even the birds of the air, both wild and domestic animals make some provisions for their young, and they do not sit around and expect their parents to feed them, nor whine and be about their "money, importante in life." IN MEMORIAM In and but loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Mabelia, Wright, who departed this life September 19, 1921: We, racially speaking, are doing much to reduce our illiteracy.

We are doing little to improve our efficiency and proficiency along those lines which make for a larger degree of financial independence and the resultant recognition and We often think where mother went, but we often think where she left.

Taylor Desires Cotton Pickers; 3,000 Needed Taylor Desires Cotton Pickers; 3,000 Needed Taylor, Texas — Cotton pickers have opened up in full blast in Willamette County. Farmers are now paying $1.35 per handed picker for picking the cotton. Farmers can purchase pickers for 100 pickers who can furnish their bedding and clothing utensils. The farmers have houses to provide shelter for the pickers. Cotton will yield considerably better than was expected two weeks ago. The farmers will be distributing cotton pickers and distributing them to farmers. From 3,000 to 3,000 pickers will be needed in Willamette County. The Chamber of Commerce hopes that all localities that have a surplus of laborers, will take advantage of the opportunity to provide temporary laborers to supply labor in their community.
