Houston Informer

COOLIDGE TAKES HAND IN FLORIDA PEONAGE HOME EDITION VOL. VIII THE MIRROR By C. F. R. RICHARDSON. ELEWELIGO SCHOOL FACILITIES. Eleweawh in this Issue appears a letter from H. L. Mills, business manager of the Houston Independent School District, which expresses his appreciation for the editorial in last week's issue of The Informer, captioned, "New School Bulldogs For Colored Pupils." In his letter, Mr. Mills also set forth some additional improvements with respect to the proposed changes to several of last week, and over a period of last year, and over since then the school board has purchased additional land for Crawford School in the Fifth Ward, where another brick building will be erected and the Drawn School consolidated with Crawford. This marks a new epoch in the history of public schools of Houston, and presages a better day for colored pupils and teachers; for both colored schools, the school has become the most advantageous for years when it came to school buildings, grounds and physical equipment. The Informer endeavors to be fair and consistent, and wherever criticism comes, the school should be an objective rather than destructive or obstructive purpose; and this paper has pursued this policy regarding the attitude of the board of education and superintendent. The school's school building, campuses and facilities, campuses and facilities, and the official acts and deeds of any public servant or official are subject to censure or commendation, and this paper believes that we ought to be consistent with the general policy. It is due (even though what is done might not come up to our expectations or deserts), just as we pour out criticism when something is done that does not have a good cause. Instead of filling up its columns with scurrilous, libelous and spurious mess and slime, and trying to destroy and defame those who have befriended and materially aided in the produced environment for the editorial, it is not the case that the issue is less of a special, or a particularly and impersonally affective, measure that is generally affective the whole social order. When the conductor of this column observed where Editor Haynes was hobnobbing with the "brethren and sister" at the Fort Worth meeting, rather than attending his own national gathering in Indianapolis, Ind., we became suspicious on one hand and jubilant on the other; for we had a hunch that when the Williams-Boone forces got through with the Capital City preacher-editor, he (Haynes) would be found singing the praises of the incorporated Baptists. According to Editor Haynes, he has finally "seen the light" and has decided to divorce himself from the Campbell-Wood-Boyd Baptists, since they preach one thing and practice another, and persist in a program of deceit, camouflage and inconsistency. He has become nauseased and had to spew his erwthile denominational fraters out of his religious mouth, and thus another stalwart Baptist joins the forces of Williams-Boone contingent. Joining: he does this columnist's "ranch of the "deepwater" family, we are delighted to welcome Br'er Haynes into our "fold"; for truly "this is the place he long has sought, and mourned because he found it not." "Tis a true saying. "A wise man changes often, but a fool never." THE HOUSTON INFORMER CARY,FORMERTEXAN GETS HIGH POST WITH WINDY CITY COMPANY ELKS HELP MANY RACE STUDENTS IN AMERICA; NATION-WIDE CONTEST EDWARD H. CARY (By The Associated Negro Press.)

"There is no finer salesman X-Y where than E. H. Carr." President M. O. Bousfield said in announcing this promotion. Mr. Carry long and faithless services to Liberty Life entitled him to the choice when we began to look for a man to head this importation of agencies of Liberty Namingia, who served under Mr. Carry nearly the whole time as assistant director of agencies and educational director, Mr. Simpkins has made an enviable reputation as a salesman and teacher and deserves this applause. In these promotions is seen Liberty Life's policy of promoting men in re Eiks to devote itself primarily to the spread of education, the board of education, and the mission of the organization committed themselves to this line of endeavor. Other awards are to be commissioned by the commissioner. In this commission the commissioner of education, which, upon the recommendation of the board, will appoint a representative with the action of the last grand jury.

The board of education is working out the rules and regulations for this conference, and the commissioner of education has selected as this general topic of discussion for the conference, especially the 14th and 15th centuries, the purpose of the Eiks to revive interest in the program, and to organize it disseminated and in many places.

Negotiations have been under way for several weeks between the officials of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Papers filed with the state insurance department show that the Standard Life Insurance Company has undertaken to underwrite the insurance business of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. The agreement was signed by W. E. Patterson, president and W. G. Ignalls, secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company and Sciplo A. Jordan, chief grand mentor and J. H. Hammonds, grand secretary of the Knights of Tabor. The Standard Life Insurance Company is the Arkansas company organized by white men which now owns the former Standard Life of Georgia.

Tod Sloan Best Jockey, Says Snapper Garrison Into a gathering of horse owners and trainers, which had been discussing the prowess of two great former jockeys—Snapper Garrison and Isaac Murphy—walked the gray-haired Garrison himself not long ago. “How about this question of Murphy and you—did Isaac have anything on you in the saddle?” asked one trainer. Garrison changed the subject. "There was just one great jockey," said "Snapper"—he of the Garrison finish. "That was Tod Sloan. Sloan had one great faculty—the ability to control animals. Not only horses, but all other animals. He could pick up a vicious cat or dog and have it as a tame as you want it in five minutes. "You can't be a great jockey without making the horse feel he has a firm friend in you. Horses will run their fastest for the jockeys they like. Sloan knew when to whip and when to scold. He was cool, had a fine pair of hands, a perfect seat and the knack of making a horse do his very best." Captain Pie Traynor Ple Traynor, who broke into the insultnel when he smashed out a home run in the opening game of the world's series last year, has been appointed to succeed Max Carey as captain of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The recent shakeup caused the suspension of Max Carey without pay, and the unconditional release of "Babe" Adams and Renee Bighue. The photograph is of Ple Traynor. Wholesome Influence of Opponents of intercollege athletics get little sympathy from Fielding H. Yost, director of athletics at the University of Texas, when asked recently of the relation of athletics to high schools. Yost said the country needed the wholesome induction of students from slipping. Athletics, high schools as well "teach the lessons of endurance, skill, self-scrrifice and the necessity for constant work in order to exercise," athletics teach the student body lessons in loyalty to their group and all are allowed with throughput in the course. It is likely in a dear in defeat as in victory. "In these days, when every stratum of the population has nationalism and immorality, we need such wholesome influences as athletics and civilization from slipping behind.

The Spies Sent Out (11:18:20) shows that God did not take the initiative in sending out the spies, but that the people because of lack of resources had a threefold purpose in sending out the spies. 2. To see whether the land was an God had told them (v.18). 2. To see whether the people who dwelt there were strong or weak, few or many (v.18). 2. To see whether the cities were made up of strongphones or of tents (v.19). 2. The Commission Executed (13:18:22). They entered the land from the south and trudged to its northern border, where their return forced the north to gather some specimens of the fruit of the land. I. The Spies Rendered a Report (15.28.29) 1. The majority report (v. 28.29) (1) The land sowth with milk and honey (v. 27). a a proof of it they displayed the fruit. (2) The people who live there are strong (v. 28). a the people lived in walled cities (v. 28). (4) The land is inhabited by giants. In comparison with the inhabitants of the land they saw themselves as grasshoppers. Furthermore, they saw cities in the south country, the Hittites, Jebusites and Amherstites in the north, and the seacrest—that it was impossible to conquer them. In part this report agreed with the first. It did not ignore the difficulties, not dispute the facts, but it did deny that the land was well able to pose the land and urged immediate action. IV. The Rebellion of the People (15.29.30) This rebellion began by crying (vv. 1-3). They lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. They even wished that they had died in the wilderness or in Egypt. God took them back to wander in the wilderness for thirty-eight years. 2. Proposition to return to Egypt. (vv. 4-10). Their crying was followed by a proposal to organize for the return to Egypt. They purposed to select a captain as their leader. Joshua and Caleb protested against this, which so exasperated the people that they were about to stone them. At this point God interposed in their behalf. 3. God's wrath upon the people (vv. 11-12). Because of their unbelief He proposed to smite them with pestilence and to disinhibit them, supplanting them with a nation mighter than they. 4. Moses's Intercession in behalf of the people (vv. 13-19). Moses plead with God against this judgment because the Egyptians would hear of it and blaspheme and this they would pass on to the other nations, saying that God was not able to bring them into the land. 5. The Lord's response to Moses's plea (v. 20-39). He assured Moses that He had granted paired according to his intercession, and would bring them into the land according to His promise, yet with the assurance that man of that generation should be deserved. The presumption of the people (vv. 40-55). Hes held unselfreed to go up and command of Moses, now in presumption they go. Moses advised them against such presumption, saying, "I will command you." Reverence for God Your reverence for God increases as you meditate upon His matches worth mentioning and works to the children of men—Gospel Herod. Elect and Non-Elect The "elect" and the "non-elect" who "whosever will"; the "non-elect" are the "whoever won't."—Echoes. Sin and Profit He who sin for profit shall not profit by his sin—Echoes.

HOUSTON, TEXAS BY JANE OSBORN (Copyprint) WHEN Donald Nash and Tom Hayen left college they felt convinced that there were enough lawyers, in the world. Donald and Tom decided they'd be merchants, so they bought a small department store and bought a good deal more and bought a small department store in a city, but highly promising young town. "Something's got to be done about the returned goods evil," observed Tom. The table that served as a desk for both. "I've getting worse and worse. A woman that fumed had opened and used yesterday that she had opened and used yesterday that she had opened and used away with it. Then the Brows bought a fine dinner set, used it for a week and then brought it back because they had decided they didn't like the shape of the soup plates. They had brought the backpack of a gundump." "I wouldn't do to be a street artist," Donald said. "We need Donald. The Brows are good customers. We don't want to get them." "That's just it," Tom agreed emphatically. "We want some one handing that department that can be fair and accommodating without being a doormat. We want a diplomat—that's what we want." "Suppose you try it yourself," suggested Donald with a grin, which was lost on Tom, who's like to that he rather thought he'd like to try. "All right, it's a go," Tom Donald. "You take charge of the return goods for two or three weeks. If you don't make good you'll ewe me a spare tire." So it was that among Tom's various other duties as partner in the growing young department store was that of looking after the returned goods. Tom had a soothing and persuasive voice and managed for better than his predecessor had. One day of the military sales-women brought air young customers to Tom. She was carrying a large hat box which contained a wide-brimmed summer hat discreetly trimmed with two enormous roses. It had been one of the most expensive hats ever sold in that military department. But the hat had been worn, not only just worn but worn in the rain. "Madam wants to return this hat," sniffed the salesgirl. "It's been worn in the rain—she admits it." "What is your season for wishing to return the merchandise?" asked Tom, trying not to look too intently into the violet eyes. "It isn't becoming," the girl graintly, "Not the least little bit but the most." But the hat has been worn, "and Tom." Agreeed the girl, "The shower came up quite unexpectedly and we were a mile from home. You see I wore the hat thinking it was becoming that is unbecoming." But it wasn't our fault, explained the girl brightened. "Oh, yes, it was, really. The girl that sold it not this one, she out now—aid it Donald said that the line of argument was most abound. He must go on wearing that when it is so drastically unbecoming" She cabled her woman in office and then began softly to cry. At that Donald told the young salesman that he would not need her further assistance in his office with the weeping beauty. Finally after a half hour in the office he vague desires to kiss the violet glove and wipe away the tears. Moreover he woke and would allow it to be returned. "Come, you are quite upset," he said at length, "let me take you back to your home. I have my car outside. And perhaps I'd better tell you," he added happily, "I am going to refund your money for that hat. I have often told the saleswomen not to tell women things are becoming when they are not. That is bad salesmanship." The girl asked to be taken in the train hotel, the largest hotel in the town. She had a hire adieu without asking him to stop and he promised her to take the car and be on the way. She had landed the next day if she would call at his office. The military salesgirl who had brought in the young lady reported the case to Donald. She thought it was downright little taking that hat back, she said. So Donald faced Tom a few days later with the facts and told him he owed him a spare tire. "Maybe I do," said Tom sheepishly. "But it was worth it—worth a whole set of spares and the car thrown in. Donald, my boy, I'm going to marry that girl—" "Great Scott," cried Donald. "Well, I'm blessed!" Then Donald explained. After having made the wager with his partner Donald decided to make sure that he would be such a ladie. So he arranged with the young and pretty statesman his own fiancée to play the game, to keep and finally to make him yield. "She said she rather liked you," said Donald, "but dear me, I had no idea, Donald, she's such a ladie's man as that." 1 **quick, easy way** NADINOLA Bliessing Cream their properties known, blended in such a way that they cannot possibly harm your skin. the cream and skin whitener that they contain, but it does not back if it doesn't satisfy your Nadinola not only lightens the skin several tones but, it also clears and cleans out your skin. refreshes the pores of oily skin, refreshes the coarsened complexion oof, fair, smooth, and you don't have to wait to see these results.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1926 STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION ETC, REQUIRED BY THE AGC OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST OF THE HOUSTON INFORMER, published weekly at Houston, Texas, for October 1.%, Houston, Texas, County of Harris: Before me, a notary public in and for the state and county aforementioned, personally appeared Cliffon F. Richardson, who having been duly sworn according to the laws of the state, and the INFOILMER and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, circulation, etc., of the aforementioned publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the statute of August 24, 1912, emboldened in section 43, Postal laws and Regulations. 1. That the name and address of the publisher, editor and managing editor are Cliffon F. Richardson, Temple, Houston, Texas. 2. That the owner is Cliffon F. Richardson. 3. That the known bondholders, mortgages and other security holders own 1 per cent or more total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other secured (My commission expires June 30, 1927.) TO DECIDE MANY LOCAL ISSUES OCTOBER 16. The voters of Houston will be called upon to decide the fate of several issues and propositions on Saturday, October 16, 1926, when six charter amendments and five bond issues will be voted on by the qualified voters of this city—black and white, male and female. The voters will be given two separate and distinct ballots, and they will be expected to exercise their elective franchise rights either for or against all the propositions. The first three amendments to the city charter deal with increasing the salaries of the mayor to $12,000 per annum, city council members to $5,000 per annum and city controller to $8,000 per annum. The fourth charter amendment bestows upon the city government the authority to widen, extend and open up streets and assess property in proportion to the benefit the property receives from such improvements. This authority the city already has by virtue of its last decree has never been written into the organic law of the municipal. The fifth proposition provides for so amending the city charter as to permit the appointment of a temporary judge of the corporation court, in the event of illness, absence or inability from any cause of the corporation judge to act. Under the present charter the mayor or one of the city commissioners can act as corporation judge during the absence of the regularly appointed judge of court. The sixth proposition has to do with the annexation of Magnolia Park, one of Houston's suburbs, and the residents of Magnolia Park will vote on this same proposition at the same time, deciding whether they want to take in this adjacent municipality. Bond issues totaling $1,450,000 will also be voted on at this special election, viz: Roadways down each side of Ship Channel, $1,500,000; Bray's Bayou drive, Hermann Park to MacGregor Park; $300,000; sanitary sewers, $150,000; graveling streets, $150,000; permanent paving, $350,000. The only amendment that seems to be occasioning quite a bit of unfavorable discussion is the one relating to the annexation of Magnolia Park, which The Informer opposed when voted on before the voters of Houston and which election the courts held invalid, null and void. The Informer is not opposed to the growth, expansion and progress of Houston, which seems destined to become the leading city in the great Southwest; but this paper wonders if Magnolia Park, with its 10,000 or 12,000 white voters, is taken into the corporate limits of Houston, will the political influence of these annexed voters preclude the possibility of colored citizens getting any appreciable consideration from the city hall—that is, as long as the phrase "white man's primary" is operated here in mayoral elections! Colored residential districts and colored citizens get very little, if any, consideration from the city hall now, and with Magnolia Park added to this municipality and its citizens making demands for certain civile improvements, does it require the prophetic vision of a seer to foresee just what the colored citizens of Houston can The Houston Informer expect or hope for along this and other lines from the city officials? This paper is not opposed to the annexation of Magnolia Park placed upon the possession is the primal law of nature, and as the admonition Bert Williams said: "Self-preservation is de faut law of him who gits it, and de Lor' helps dem who helps themselves." If the city of Houston, as presently constituted, can not even grade and keep in passable order the vast majority of the streets in colored residential sections, to say nothing of graveling the streets, should a strictly white suburb is added to the municipality? Why add more burdens and worries when the present ones are almost overwhelming our "city fathers," and thousands of citizens are daily being fed with excuses, alibis and promises from the city authorities. Magnolia Park has a waterworks system, gas system, school system, some improved streets, fire department, etc., but will these offset the added burdens its annexation will place upon the already-burdened shoulders of Houston. Magnolia Park IT PAYS FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS, DOES NOT CONSIDER IT FAIR THAT PEOPLE WHO CAN NOT VOTE FOR THE SELECTION OF SAID PUBLIC SERVANTS FOR POSITIONS OF PERFERMENT AND EMOLUMENT, SHOULD BE ASKED OR EXPECTED TO RAISE THE SALARIES OF SUCH PUBLIC OFFICIALS! FURTHERMORE, IF COLORED CITIZENS ARE EITHER TOO CROOKED OR IGNORANT TO VOTE IN AN ELECTION TO NOMINATE CITY OFFICIALS, WHEN DID THESE SAME CROOKED OR IGNORANT COLORED CITIZENS COME IN POSSESSION OF ENOUGH GRACE OR SENSE TO CAST AN INTELLIGENT BALLOT ON PROPOSITIONS OF SUCH FAR-REACHING AND VITAL IMPORTANCE? As to the municipal bond issues, the colored citizens of Houston can hope for practically nothing, for the past history of such bond propositions is replete with glaring instances where our people, even though they have supported and voted for such issues in the past, have been considered when the bond issues were spent for public improvements. Before casting a ballot in this special election on Saturday, October 16, the colored voters of Houston should carefully study these proposed issues as they relate to our people in particular for when voting for bond issues and charter changes, the voters always express themselves in town, will be something definite and tangible to themselves, as well as the community. THE FLORIDAN ATTITUDE TOWARDS NEGROES. News dispatches from Florida reveal the fact that force has been employed in some storm-stricken communities in the Everglade State to compel colored citizens to abandon their regular avenues of employment, and, at the points of bayonets, to help in reclaiming the damage done by the recent tropical disturbance in that state. It seems rather strange that colored Americans must always be the "boat" in such disasters, and that they have no constitutional rights nor guarantees that civil and military forces must respect in such a program of relief, rehabilitation and readjustment. Many years ago the Brazos river overflowed in Texas, causing much physical damage and suffering in the lowlands, and the cry for help was flashed to the outside world. With that sympathetic spirit to help the suffering in such a catastrophe, Texans of both races responded to the call for succor and sent the colored sufferers to the stricken section. Instead of giving the colored sufferers clothing and work, intended by the donors, those in charge of the relief work charged the colored citizens for all clothing and food given them, and then forced said colored citizens to "work it out" on the Brazos bottom farms. Giving from reports emanating from Florida, the tropical hurricane and tremendous damage done, both in physical property and human lives, had a hardening rather than a softening effect upon an alarming large number of whites in the communities where the storm wrought its worst destruction; which reminds us of the antics of Pharah when God sent the various plagues upon the Egyptians to bring about the freedom of the Israelites, and of the destruction of the city, where the law of retribution is immutable, inexorable and unchanging. Maybe some of these white Floridians believe that their treatment to the colored citizens of that state was largely responsible for the terrible storm, and this is their way of "paying back" for the damage. They are also in their way of the "leading and most prosperous cities and centers of the state!" However, if colored Americans have no rights in time of peace, plenty and prosperity that other races are bound to respect, and if the government will not accord protection to colored Americans, they will not be protected. At all times, it should not be surprising nor alarming when these same colored Americans are conscripted and inducted into involuntary servitude during such a crisis as faces the storm-striken sections of the Peninsula State. THE GESTICULATING ON "NULLIFICATION" AND "NULLIFIERS," SOME OF OUR RECURRENT DAY, ARDENT DIXIE SUPPORTERS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS, OUGHT TO BUSY THEMSELVES AND ORDERWE HOW FLORIDA AND OTHER SOUTHERN STATES "NULLIFY" THE CONSTITUTION WHENEVER THEY GET READY, PARTICULARLY WHERE THE RIGHTS OF COLORED AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED! This paper does not condone vagrancy, idleness, indolence nor loitering, but this paper is unalterable and irrevocably opposed to peonage and conscription of colored citizens as practiced in Florida and most of the Dixie commonwealth, either during peaceful or stormy periods. Of course, those smart and smooth Floridians will come out with a lengthy statement showing that no colored citizens were conscripted, and that the black men and women shot by the soldiers and sailors were looters or some other sort of criminals; and that the white men and women were vigilantes and idlers, and that even they were paid handsome wages for their labor, and such "bull-shewik" a la Dixie. If the colored race in America, and particularly the South, would wage a consistent and persistent fight for its inalienable and constitutional rights at every turn, the race would be subjected to less cruelties, injustices and inequalities, and the day would not be missed. If the black men were respected and fair play and a square deal accorded them just like other races and citizens in our polygot population. TEXAS CONFERENCE HELD SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING AT BISHOP Marshall, Texas, October 4—The Southern Athletic Conference, upon call of President H. J. Long, convened in seminal season Friday morning, to mediate the proceedings and mediate adjourned to await arrival of the Prairie View College and Sam Hunton College representatives. A full quota of delegates was present at the afternoon meeting: H. J. Long, President; secretary-treasurer; L. G. Purdy, coach; Ama MacHann, Bishop College; J. H. Law, P. V. College; V. A. Coach, W. S. Taylor, Sam Hunton College; Coach F. T. Taylor, Coach F. T. H. Mason, Wiley College. The optio n was expressed that such harmonious and profitable session of the conference had been achieved. The conference opposed a division of the conference as inadvisable and undesirable. Prairie View College was unanimously awarded Sam Haston College representatives requested the privilege of presenting the petition to the association, legislative association, President Davis, and faculty of that college, praying the petition with regard to charges against the college for violation of federal regulations. The petition among other things disavowed any rejection of the petition of the college, administration, athletic association, and faculty for irregular conduct of athletics during the past season as附请到 alleged violation of the college's rules and regulation conformity on part of Sam Haston College. The conference voted unanimously to grant the petition, and expressed entire confidence in the present conference representatives, president and faculty of that college; but went on record as denouncing the complete acquiescence of the former administration of the school in the actions of Coach R. Whirwind Johnson, now at Morris Brown College, who, in open disregard and defiance of conference rules, actually used a baseball team composed almost entirely of professional players, to carry out his conference schedule; for which offense all games were forfeited to Sam Huston's opponents. the conference further ordered that its attitude with regard to recent opioid use be addressed. Johnson, formerly of Stam Huson, coach at Morris Brown College, be made public. Accusations were made that during the past week "Whirlwind" Johnson had visited several towns in the state and that locations; had established contacts with certain athletes in these schools in order to address the issue.

Issacs, star of the Houston high last year, will in all probably it appear at center, while Campbell his teammate, is making a strong bid for a tackle position. Calhoun and Reed of Brownwood are giving Redd and Owens plenty of competition for the guard positions. Young of Oklahoma City and Parrish of Houston are strong contenders for an end position. Evans and Coleman, Marshall high school stars of last year, are about the best pair of rookie backs to appear here for many seasons. Big preparations are being made for the coming Langston game at the Dallas fair Monday, October 18. The 6-0 tie of last year will in all probability cause the crowd that invades Fair Park stadium on the 18th to be the largest that ever witnessed a colored game in the South. Two special trains will run over the T. P. railroad from Marshall to Dallas carrying hundreds of Wiley supporters; while another special will likely come from Beaumont, Houston and Galveston. Y. M. C. A. DOINGS the chairman of the religious work committee announces as topic for discussion the work of a continuation of the general topic for the month of October. The phase that will be undertaken is the Physical Side of Personal Purity. These group discussions are proving to be a useful tool for the point of attendance and in the interest shown by those who come. We are asking for a larger number in attendance. As a result, the group will be Lew address the group "Physical Purity." We extend a special in attendance to the Johnson, who is doing the training of the football team, promises that the "W" team will be one of the best in the country.

Editor The Houston Informer: This is to acknowledge receipt of your marked copy of The Informer of date Saturday, October 2nd, and if you have any questions, please contact School Buildings for Colored People." As I explained to you a long time ago, it is our earnest desire to be fair to the students, such a large program as we have in our curriculum, must meet need. We have in mind with care, with care, come forward with the same as rapidly as was consistent with good business. In the course of our work, we proceed slowly with the purchasing of sites; other owners the owners of property, and the principal价ant price from the board of education. We have always taken the position of the principal价ant, be paid what his`property is worth, but no more. Therefore, for the property to be necessary to file condemnation proceedings. As a concrete example, we wanted $20,000 for his holding company, and $10,000 for property adopting a colored school to pay for his county court-attorney and property attorney. However, that you wrote the editorial, and I trust the colored peole of the city will realize that it is not the people who are good administrative builders for quite a long time that the frame shackets that have been used for these people should be used for modern, up-to-date, fire-proof buildings as rapidly as the same car Yer no, Qus, I jis hates fer alius be tellin yu my trubbies, but yu no yu jis gotter tell simboddy yo ups an? downs in dis life, of yu doan yu'll sho go crazy.

I should like also to call your attention to the fact that we have recently Ryan Colored School on the Hardy Street Road, and that we are now a colored school in the Cottage Grove section. As soon as this deal is closed, we will be a colored school in building. It will, of course, not be a brick building it will be. It will be a canteen and up-to-date in particular. It will be the fire hazard, and will be modern and up-to-date in particular. It has been held in the school that has been a satisfactory. I believe if all the people will have patience until this program is finally completed, you will have a job. I will be a colored school that will be a colored school in the city.

SHARKEY-WILLS FIGHT OCTOBER 12 IN BROOKLYN SHARKEY-WILLS FIGHT OCTOBER 12 IN BROOKLYN (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y.—According to an announcement made by Humbert Fuigaxy, promoter, Ebbets's Field, Harry Willis and Jack Sharkey, Boston heavy-weight, will meet at Ebbets Field October 12, in a 15-round bout, as last outdoor bout of the season. Wills, who was denied the opportunity to meet Dempsey and whom Tunney, the newly crowned "Rickard heavyweight champion," has signified that he would not fight, is beginning a rampage to prove to the world that he is the real champion of the heavyweight. His opponent, Sharkey, is not set up and has been designated by Hype Igoe of the New York World as a logical challenger of Tunney. Igoe in a recent article declared: "Jack Sharkey looms as a dangerous contender for Gene right now. I mentioned him at the outset and I come back to him as being particularly capable. Cautious but capable just the same." Sharkey has beaten George Godfrey, Eddie Huffman, Jack LeMave and Jim Maione this year. He conceded 40 pounds to Godfrey.
