"BILL" McDONALD RAPS JOHN BELL DEATH PENALTY FOR WHITE FLORIDAN HOME EDITION VOL. VIII "BILL DEATH THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON. WELCOME, TEXAS BAPSTISTS! Holding over to the faith "once delivered unto the saints" believing in baptism, and (and that by immersion) accepting the biblical version of the baptism, (and that by immersion) delivering the birth of Jesus Christ; ever sawing and challenging those who seek to be besides the other books of mere man; standing like the Rock of Gibraltar in Revelation, and the fundamental tenets, doctrines and principles of Baptism Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas is holding its Baptism Church this week. Led by Rev. A. L. S. Cohn, pastor of Baptism Church of Fort Worth, who succeeded Dr. L. K. Williams, now of Chicago, as pastor of the Baptism Convention, the Baptism force have invaded Houston for their work, denouncing information and denomination's inspiration, and to link their force to the Master here below. From all points in Texas, and representing as they do the Baptist family of our great community, and an honor to extend a word of welcome to these visitors within our city, and that they are so enlarging, temporarily, in the fastest growing city in the country, the principal part of Texas, with all other cities and towns as more suburban. We are sure we will we extend to you this coral welcome to this fair and promising city making our community a city of unity, municipality affords. We hope that your work will be brought with much constructive work, and that nothing will transgress the convention of Texas. Since it is decreed that all human beings must go so some place begin, we must go so some place begin or the world to come, and since some people will be for them, to be sure not to miss one of the "Kiw" "Heavenly Mountains" hands welcome all visitors to our hands and builting city of you have paid your fare and have your ticket in hand. We have pleased you to extend our glad journalistic hand and say, "Welcome, BTEADY GAINS REVEALED. During the last six months, from April 1, 1926, to October 1, 1926, The Informer's circulation has made a steady gain, both locally and foreign; this substantial increase in circulation being obtained without a significant increase in the paper and public interest, up the paper with scandal, slime and "nigger mess." This speaks volumes for the reading public of our race, showing conclusively that most of our people prefer a clean, new way newspaper to a slimy, scurrilous, libelous, defaming, lying and messy sheet. This is a महत्वary field, local and foreign. The Informer has again outstripped every race newspaper printed in Texas, which only goes to prove that local and national advertisers know a real weekly newspaper from a makeshift "weakly sheet." The Informer has certain definite, fixed policies, and generally force-making, and, perhaps, to change that policy—mud-lingers, scandal-mongers, newspaper scavengers, voodoo dealers, and all other types of crawling, cringing, cowardly canines and vociferous jackasses to the contrary, notwithstanding. The confidence and faith that the reading public has reposed in Texas is the result of the most unaltered and undestroyed by reducing this paper to the levels of the gutteranipe editor, and filling our columns with filth and slime just to make a few measly sales. This paper has always endeavored to chronicle the better and best side of the race, and to be an instrument of construction, of the quality of the media, of the quality of the news, of the right to discuss issues and measures without fear or favor, let or hindrance. This paper is independent and is not "hop-tied to any group, clique or clan-it is the people's paper, and it essays to fight the battles of and for the common people. The manager of most news reports is the public, and during these years, and wishes to here express our gratitude to the readers and advertisers who THE HOUSTON INFORMER Texas Mason Exposes Michigan Fraternalist Ft. Worth, Texas, Oct. 11, 1928. From the beginning of time that people have lived on this old earth there have been gullible people. Some people are gullible because of ignorance, some because of envy and prejudice, and some practice gullible because it pays them to gull others. Old man John A. Bell of Michigan, who is in his dotage, parades himself up and down these United States, alleging that he got his Masonic authority from Ancient Free and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of Halti. He further alleges that this Masonic authority was sent into Haiti, Cuba and San Domingo by white Masons of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. These assertions are laughable and are acceptable only to the gullible or ignorant. In the first place Massachusetts white Masons did not establish Freemasonry in Haiti. Perhaps England and France did. In the second place no regular constituted authority of Free Masons in Haiti ever granted John Jones, who is now dead physically, and the first man to make this fraudulent claim, and old man John A. Bell, who is now dead Massonically, is being been expelled from the regular lodge of Free Masons which entered, passed and raised him to the sublime degree of a Master Masson long before he announced his so-called or pretended visit to Haiti, and is now e鸿ing and broadcasting the old Jones' fraud. Old man John A. Bell is not deluded. It is his duty to delude others. He knows how easy and possible he is to get out of the world. It says an old man 71 years old, without visible means of support, to gull ignorant people who are unable to tell what all his ballahooling and broadcasting is about. 1. Pennsylvania Freemasonry. On June 20th, 1784, the white grand lodge of England granted a warrant to a lodge in Pennsylvania authorizing it to practice and work in the degrees of Freemasonry. According to Massonic custom and rules, all the lodges of Pennsylvania therefore were subject to the grand lodge of England. Pennsylvania Freemasons never organized a lodge in Cuba, Haiti or San Domingo while it was regular and holding obedience to the grand lodge of England, but after it broke off from England and organized, September 26th, 1786, the Independent and Sovereign Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, it did, we think, organize lodges in Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo in the latter part of the 17th century or the early part of the 18th century. These lodges were composed of white men and up to this day never affiliated with Negro Masons. Bell Not Mason at Heart Old man John A. Bell, if a Mason at all, certainly was a Mason before he made his pretended trip to Haiti, Cuba and San Domingo. He never was a Mason at heart, but he certainly had the grips and signs given to him by a lodge and what lodge in America entered, passed and raised him to the sublime degree of a Master Mason? We answer it was a lodge in Michigan duly and regularly organized by Union Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Michigan, from which he was expelled for un-Masonic conduct before he made a visit to Haiti, Cuba and San Domingo and pamed himself off as the grand master of Michigan. England on June 24, 1784, granted to African Lodge No. 459 a warrant authorizing Prince Hall to open and set to work Freemason lodges composed of Africans or Negroes anywhere on North American soil. This was two years before the white Independent and Sovereign Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania was organized and many years later, the White American was organized either of Preemasons or San Domingo by the Cuba, Haiti or the White American grand lodge. Therefore all grand have contributed their bit to make possible this splendid showing. Between now and the issuance of the next ownership and circulation statement to the postoffice department, we hope that 2,000 more readers will be added to our long list of satisfied and boosting subscribers. To do this we ask that each reader will influence another to read The Informer, and this goal can be easily accomplished. We thank you in advance. South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1926 (By WM, M. McDONALD.) dogs growing out of authority of Prince Hall Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons are older than working in Haiti, or Sainte Anne, or Saint John. Bell Now In His Dotape. Old man John A. Bell, who is now in his dotage, was expelled from the regular Prince Hall Masonle's jurisdiction of Michigan three or four years before the date of his pretended trip to Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo. How could an expelled Mason be restored by Cuba, or Haiti or San Domingo? Any man with sense enough to get into a house out of a shower of rain, should know that the regular white grand lodge of Freemasons in Cuba, Haiti or San Domingo would not take an old Negro expelled, degree peddler, without recommendations and unable to speak the languages of either country and confer with him authority to organize Freemason lodges in the United States. If any grand lodge in Haiti, Cuba, or San Domingo should be请愿者, the American Freezer of Land, and laws of Freemasonry by attempting to commit such an un-Masonic act or crime, they would have subjected all of old man Bell's acts to their approval, and every lodge organized in the United States by old man Bell, the bluffer, would have to get its war rant or charter from Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo and not from old man Bell. What right has Cuba, Haiti or San Domingo to organize lodges in the United States; or authorize any expelled Mason, white or black, to set up lodges of Freemasons in the United States? None in the world whatever. Old man John A. Bell and such men as the Rev. P. C. Hunt, who is the son of a Visitor and a W. F. Thomas should bluph with shame in their attempt to gull the people in the way they are doing. It pays to gull people! Old man John A. Bell, who is now in his dotage, and his band of Masonic pirates are on the job of gulling! Colossal Deceiver and Fake. Here is a sample of his colossal deception, cheek, ignorance and effrontery. On his letter-head and so-called grand master of the Governing Grand Lodge A. P. and A. M. Assems (colored) and Mason's assesms (colored) mounted on the Masons in the U. S. A. instituted A. D. 1903 and 1909, warrant issued by the African potent of power from the Orient Africa potent of power from the Orient rants from the Grand Orient of Haiti by authority from grand bodge (white of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania) and the Grand Master of the Sovereign Grand Master, 54 James Aves, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Great colonism and all the rest what a lie. He claims that the only regular lodge is the Mason's assesms cated in Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and the only irregular lodge in the United States, and he would be somewhere else. He only irregular lodge is P. and A. M. were organized 100 years before this old take went to Cuba Haiti or San Domingo Haiti. He was Texas, a few weeks ago and sent our worthy brother Jake Skele the rote Letters Self-Explanatory. Mr. Jake Shields. Dear Sir and Esteemed Brother: I just saw an article in the Masonic Quarterly published by one Bill McDonald, your grand secretary, I met your William M. McDonald at Fort Worth in 1909 and beat him in court and if I see any announcements in the court, I will have to answer for the same and I have everything that this circular says I have and I have them with me now, and I will go to Austin and then to Dallas and then to Fort Worth, and I will see him personally and give him a chance. I am not dead but very much alive, hoping to hear from you at 11 p.m. If you care to write me at Grand Rapids, I will give you a copy of the letter. I am yours fraternally. ILL. JOHN A. BELL, 33\(^{rd}\) Sov. Grand Master. The Masonic Quarterly carried an article a year or so ago in which the type stated John A. Bell was dead. This was a type error and the paragraph was written to read as follows: "John Jones the first man and a comrade of John A. Bell, to peddle Masonic degrees on pretense of authority from Halti, Cuba, San Domingo and Africa, is dead physically and John A. Bell is dead Masonically, he having long since been expelled." I stand pat on this statement, and double dog dare old man Bell to deny It is as true as the Holy Writt! Old man John A. Bell claims to have been given power and authority from Grand Orient of Haiti, but the following letter which he is foolish enough to publish from Haiti as his authority denies him and his friend the authority to organize Freemason lodges on American soil, as the letter will show: GRAND ORIENT OF HAITI Liberty Equality Fraternity Port-as-Prince, January 25, 1924. The Grand Master and Grand Commander of the Masonic Order. To the C. III. et P. P. Johns A. Bell, 33°, Sov. Grand Master and Sov. Grand Commander of the Sov. Grand Lodge of the United States. In this Orient, Sov. Grand Master, and Grand Commander: I have the honor of calling to your attention, and berasing you to inform the lodges in the United States in your office of grand representative of the Grand Orient of Haiti, that Napoleon Francis has no authority, nor power given by the Grand Orient of Haiti, to establish or organise any lodge on American territory or elsewhere. He kind enough to accept the assurance of my very high and fraternal esteem, Sov. Grand Master and Grand Commander. RIGAL. I stated in an article some time ago that old man John A. Bell was an expelled Mason from North Star Lodge No. 5, F. and A. M., of Michigan. Here is the proof and we wonder what old man Bell and his Masonic free booters and degree pedders think about it: Lansing, Mich., Oct. 6, 1926. The above entitled cause coming on to be heard upon the bill of complaint filed in the same, and the said plaintiff by his counsel having offered no proof in support of his bill, and the case proceeding on the defendants' cross-bill; and the court having heard the testimony and the arguments of counsel, and the following state of fact, which, based on the evidence, have found the said plaintiff, John A. Bell, having been lawfully expelled from a regular constituted ledge of colored Masons for the State of Michigan and the said John A. Bell never having been restored to Masonry by the authority which expelled him, that he is not, and can never be, a regular Mason in any organization whatsoever until he has been so restored. And the court further finds that any organization that he appears to be the head of is fraudulent and fraudulently organized. Now, therefore, the court doth order, ad-judicate, that the said John A. Bell, John A. Bell, the Most Worshipful John A. Bell, the Most Worshipful and any and all persons setting under him or his organizations or by their authority be, and the same are, each permanently restrained from holding themselves out as Masons or from wearing the badge, buttons, emblems, decorations or designs of a Mason; that each of them is further permanently enjoined from adopting or using the name of Mason, in association with any other name or any derivative thereof, and from claiming the name of any and any derivative or charitable organization or organization, that was the name of Mason, FORMER PASTOR, RACE EDUCATOR, TO PREACH HERE Hegustonians, without regard to modernational affiliations, will have an opportunity to hear a former pastor Sunday, October 17, when Dr. William J.

Dr. King has been an American race relationship by the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has been added to the curriculum of several white institutions of learning. Doctor King was born at Rose Hill, Texas on the 14th of 1880. He was then an doctored the high school department of Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, one of the schools maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church for Negro youth. Here he remained for seven years, completing both the high school and the college. He received the A. B. degree from Wiley. In the fall of the same year he entered Boston University School of Theology, graduating from this institution in 1913. Two years more of postgraduate work followed his education and Harvard Divinity School, leading to the degree of Ph. D. from Boston University in 1921. The D. B. was awarded him in 1917 by Wiley College. Doctor King spent ten years in the past year, teaching at the General Seminary, Boston, Massachusetts, and Texas, based on serving as an associate of Dr. W. H. Brooks in the pastorate of Saint Mark's, New York City.

B. C. Vanderhorst, general manager of the Peoples Insurance Company, called a meeting of the business men of the city and started the appeal, which resulted in the raising of over $400 by the local branch of the Business League. Mr. Vanderhorst intertwined with M. M. T. in the same place, taking a trained nurse, Mrs. R. L. Brown, with him, who is now supervising relief work at that place and the nearby vicinity.

Dorsey, Negro millionaire of Miami, who returned to his home Tuesday night, after coming here to secure labor to rebuild the schools in that city, stated that the storm had done more than $75,000 worth of damage to his property and holdings in Miami. The roof of the hotel which he owns was torn off and windows blown out. Four of his apartments were unroofed, and twenty houses blown off their foundations, and eight or ten of them were completely demolished. The damage, he said, would roughly amount to $75,000. As soon as he has secured sufficient labor to rebuild the schools, which had been damaged, he would begin to rebuild his own property. Mr. Dorsey took the initiative in coming to Jacksonville to secure carpenters to go back to Miami and help in the rehabilitation of the schools so that the educational work of the city would go on while the citizens carried on the other work of reconstruction. He was assisted in his efforts to secure labor.

MARSHAL'S Ancient Hymns Discovered Tests that were sung to music are the earliest of the many instruments in the rulers of Ur, where the palaces and temples of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Ancient Egypt, aided in the dwellings were discovered, dating from the portion of the Larsa king, about 500 B.C., in the ruins of a dwell- ing house in burial brick. There was found against the wall of the room a colo- nial altar, which had obviously been stored in a jar, whose fragments lay with them.

Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. J. B. FITWATER, D.D., Dear REV. J. B. EWEN, Education School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (© 1998, Western Newspaper, Union.) Lesson for October 17 MOSES HONORED IN HIS DIEH LEBEN TEXT-Dust. #6-11-1 GOLDEN TEXT-Previous in the sight of the Lord is the death of his PERMAL TOPIC-Moses See the PERSIMMON JUNIPORIC The Death of Moses JUNIPORIC Lessons from the Life of Moses. YOUNG PROFILE AND ADULT TOPIC-Moses Lessons from the Life of Moses. 1. Moses Views the Promised Land from Mount Plegagh (v. 3-4). At the Lord's bidding Moses seconded the mountains from which he got a mountain to the land, but though he knew that he was to die there (Dust, S2:30). He greatly desired to go into the land (Dust, S2:30). Of the Lord. Though he was not permitted to enter the land, God gave him a mountain to the land which was to be the inheritance of the people which he had delivered and led for forty years. The reason for this was that Moses' entrance into the land was Moses' failure to annotate the Lord of Moriah (Dust, S2:30). So too glaring a sin for the Lord to pass over, though Moses had served him faithfully for many years. He survived the Burial of Moses (v 59). He died (v 8). He did not die in the vile man-of-mach, his work was done. He did not die before his time. God put him into the world for a purpose, and as soon as he was gone he returned home. Though Moses was a great man he was not exempt from death. God buried him. Most likely this service was performed by the angels. Likely this is the time and circumstance Michael, the archangel, over the body of Moses (Jude 9). The time of mourning for Moses (v 8). They mourned for thirty days. It is not wrong to lay away earthly friends who should not mourn as those who have no hope. Indeed, it is much better to hold them in your arms, our friends by showing the proper courtesy and respect while they are alive, than to mourn over them when they are dead. (II. The Successor of Moses (v. 9), Joshua who had been the minister of the wilderness journey, now became the military leader of the Israelites. That military leader of the Israelites is seen.) 1. By the fact that he was full of the spirit of wisdom. While he was not dependent upon human wisdom, He does select as his Representatives men whom he has chosen. 2. He was divinely ordained for the work at the hand of Moses, "for Moses had his hands upon him." 3. He was divinely ordained for the command of God (Num. 27.18-21). 3. The people owned him as their leader, and he untended him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses. 4. He was successful leadership as a rule, that the individual affection and allegiance of the people. (IV. Encoumium Upon Moses (v. 10)). In this eulogy Moses is given a place at the head of the Old Testament and the greatest Protestant (Deut. 18:15-18), of whom Moses was a type, he stands as the greatest prophet of Israel. He is likened with God (v. 19), "whom the Lord knew face to face." 2. He was great in that he gave to the world a code laws unequaled in the Bible. 3. He was great as a general in that he liberated the Israelite nation from the oppression of the greatest enemy. 4. He was great because he led two or three million Israelites through the desert. 5. He was great because he gave us in the book of Deuteronomy three occasions which, according to the Judge, are a type of the head of the world's literature. Faith What a wonderful ship is faith.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER "SOUTH'S GREATEST RACE NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told--Nothing Else!" M. To pass additional legislation against the mobbists and then permit this legislation to become weak and inept through disuse on one hand and moral cowardice and racial prejudice on the other, will merely tend to weaken and undermine the foundations on which the superstructures of our reputed democratic form of government are based, more of a mockery and laughing stock than at the present time. Published every Saturday at 409-410 Odd Pellows Temple, Houston, Tex. Enclosed as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the postoffice at Houston, Texas, under the Act of March 3, 1879 It seems rather strange that the sheriffs in both South Carolina and Tennessee were overpowered by a mob (which one officer stated was "very orderly"—a rather conflicting statement), and yet not one loosy lynchocrat was wounded by any fire from the peace officer's trusted "gat," which some of these officers can pull and dexterity to shoot some vicious and "bad" criminal! Conditions are terribly rotten and offensive in numerous Southern communities, and, while some little progress has been made in bringing about interracial amity and good will, Judge Lynch still has his grip upon entirely too many members of the reigning and ruling race; for where people have all the wheels of machinery in their hand, to manipulate at will and manufacture all species of weapons, they must resort to illegal lynch law, particularly when they can invoke legalized lynch law whenever and wherever they please or will. make all checks, Crafts, money orders, etc. payable to and address all communications to the Houston Invoice, 409-410 Odd Fellows Temple, Houston MRB.

It does not require much "superiority," "supremacy" or bravery for a crowd of "hellocritical" hoodlums to grab an unarmed prisoner, spirit him away from prison, order him to run and fill him with shots in his back.

Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., is grand exalted ruler, and Judge William C. Hueston of Gary, Ind, commissioner of education, this national organization is performing a far-reaching service, and is informing the world that it stands for the highest educational and cultural development of the race that is possible to be attained by our young people in our several institutions of higher learning. Aside from her duties at Mt. Corrittin Mrs. McRae will also give music lessons to a limited number of pupils and spend more time looking after her. DIXIE LYNCHOCRATS ON PERENNIAL RAMPAGE! In America—the reputed land of the free and home of the brave; the great Christian republic which felt itself divinely ordained to save the world for democracy and to obliterate Humhii cultur from the face of both oriental and occidental civilization—we have open and closed season on everything excepting the American Negro. Prof. a. driefruger paid his apouse the following compliment: "Her care for me has been excellent. My co-operation and helpfulness in all my endearments, have been beyond value. Without the help she has rendered me success, my would have had been At certain seasons of the year in this country, if a person kills certain birds and other game of the forest, he is subject to arrest and punishment (and many have been arrested and fined for killing game out of season); but the killing and lynching of American Negroes continue with painful regularity and the authorities do not put forth as much effort to apprehend and punish the lousy lynchocrats and murderous anarchists as they do to bring some hunter to justice for killing game during the closed season. In view of what some local lodges of this order do or fail to do, some persons have gleaned the idea that the Elks are only concerned in "good times" and "fast life," and that the order is indeed "in love with the Elks," money nor time to the worthwhile and permanent lifes of life. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The largest crowd to attend 4 Sunday afternoon service was out to hear Dr. H. E. Lee, Sunday, October 10th. Much interest was also shown in the group discussion by the men present. "J. T. Miles opened the discussion on "The Physical Side of Social Purity." Mr. Miller was followed by Mr. Bonds, manager of the Western Star, who made very timely remarks. Secretary Stocks then spoke on the manner of winning men to the standards of social purity. "T. T. Johnson, district manager of the Atlanta Life, confined his discussion to the relation of the environment to social purity." Mr. F. Stoke, president of the M. C. A. A. introduced Dr. H. E. Lee, who, in well chosen words, gave a brief account of the havoc wrought through a clare gard of the laws of sex relationship, giving the group the benefit of some personal observations that he had made on this subject and pointing out how the young men were to be soوکف The most possible for them to escape from moral laxness through self-control and abstinence. His message was timely, well delivered and to the point. The only regret is that there were not more of the younger men out to hear him. On Sunday, October 17th, the discussion will center about "Social Purity." Mr. E. Miller, Principal Colored High School, will deliver the principal address. Not only has the national organization already rendered financial assistance to about 30 young people, but it also plans a nationwide oratorial contest among Negro boys and girls in high schools, with the goal of raising the national contest, and $250 to be awarded the sectional winners. Why not pass a federal law to legalize lynching of American Negroes during certain months in the year, and thereby give the black citizens of this republic the same kind and calibre of protection accorded the birds of the air and animals of the forest's In order to revive interest in the American constitution, and most especially the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments thereto, the Elks commissioner of education has designated as a subject for review the constitution in the spring of 1927, "The Constitution of the United States." The recent mobocratic orgy in South Carolina, which treated three American Negroes (including one woman) to the famous and celebrated American pastime, makes the Palmetto State a runner-up to Florida for the 1926 championship of the Lynching League of America, Incorporated. (Now watch "ole Mississippi!" take on a spurt to outdo both South Carolina and Florida!) The Informer congratulates the Elks of the nation for what has been done already by them towards Negro education, inspiration and information, and hopes that their future plans along this and other lines will bear much fruit for the good of the race and success. In connection with the spring oratorical contest in high schools, which will be an elimination affair to select orators for sectional contest, where the best speaker will be chosen to represent said section in the national contest, this paper hopes that Houston Texas cities, particularly where there are Elk lodges, will join hands in this undertaking and help to make it a staggering success. Not to be outdone nor denied a berth in the mobocratic loop for 1926, Tennessee had to stage a lynching fest during last week, thereby qualifying for a franchise in Judge Lynch's circuit; and thus the fight for titular honors in this damnable and diabolical organization goes merrily a-pace, while the maddened and frenzied devotees, adherents and supporters yell themselves hoarse as they cheer their favorite club on to victory and the coveted gon-falon! COTTON FARMERS FACING SERIOUS CRISIS Due to the bumper cotton crop of 1926, which seems to have surpassed even the estimate and expectations of governmental experts and authorities, the cotton farmers are facing a financial crisis—the supply of the fleece staple being greater than the demand. In neither the South Carolina nor Tennessee lynching bee was the "usual crime" assigned as the cause for this return to savagery and barbarian on the part of the "superior race!" (If such stunts as these pulled off by the white lynchers and anarchists demonized "superiority complex," then may God have mercy and pity upon the race obsessed and burdened with an "inferiority complex") Tuskeguee Belle New Hair Dressing —HERRBERT'S DRUG STORR. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. According to an economic law, whenever production exceeds capacity, the price will rise, and the demand will decrease than the market needs), the price for said commodity declines, and thus a panicky situation is precipitated among those engaged in said line of production, as well as those who have advanced the demand. The annual baby contest is creating quite a bit of enthusiasm among moms, and the annual baby contest takes place November 24, inclusive of a visit by the parents and a visitor this week. Girl Reservoir clubs are being organized the week before the event, and Gregory have started their programs for the year. Thursday, October 16, at 10 a.m., the program is urged that our people attend in large numbers to participate in the preciate the fine arts. The Cosmopolitan Club welcomed the new member to the club. Heretofore, most advocates and supporters of lynching have contended that any Negro who commits or attempts to commit criminal outrage upon a white woman, girl or child, should be handed summarily by a howling and hungry mob of hoodlums; but just ask these same rabid mobsters and "hellcrats" what punishment should be meted out to a white man that commits an attack upon a colored woman, girl or child, and they (the Negro) should be sent to prison —proving that they favor mob-law not because of the alleged crime perpetrated, but rather because of the color of the defendant and complainant. As has been repeatedly said in newspapers, from platforms and in farmers' congresses, the farmers of the South depend too much upon a one-crop product, and when they have a bad year, either from underproduction or overproduction, the logic of this argument is brought directly home to them; but the next year finds farmers devoting most of their acreage, time and money to cotton. There has been much talk of a federal law to curb the lynching evil and to eventually eradicate it from the confines of our national government; BUT NO AMOUNT OF ANTILYLNCHING LEGISLATION WILL BLOT OUT MOB VIOLENCE AS LONG THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD OF CITIZENSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY, particularly the South, for American citizens—ONE FOR WHITE CITIZENS AND ANOTHER FOR COLORED PEOPLE. If more acreage were devoted to other farm products, which generally find a ready market and neat profits, the farmers would not be so hard hit when such situations arise as the one that confronts them today. MT. CORINTH BAPTIST REV. A. HUBBARD, Pastor. With one of the best cotton crops in the history of the South, and, in many instances, with no one even to pick the cotton from the bolls, the price has fallen to such low levels that to sell at the prevailing price will mean huge losses for the farmers—virtual loss and will place many banks in a precarious condition because of the high interest rates that liquidate the naper held against them at these financial institutions. As long as American Negroes have no rights that other races are bound to respect; as long as American Negroes are denied and refused their inalienable and constitutional rights and prerogatives; as long as American Negroes are disfranchised, jim-crowed, segregated, politically outlawed, otherwise maltreated and accorded a rough, rotten and raw deal, the hydra-headed monster, Judge Roberts, has been accused of these unfortunate and defenseless people—whose chief crime is to the color of their skin and texture of their hair! A national conference has been called to discuss and adopt means to save the situation and relieve the cotton planters from this serious predicament, and it is hoped that much good will come from it. The information is of the opinion that a diversified crop will serve as safety valve to the farmers hereafter. Water and fire are necessities, just as cotton is, but too much of anything makes for disaster and trouble; for the law of supply and demand will even the cotton yield, as well as other products and commodities. As far as laws are concerned, there are ample laws on the statutes of the national and state governments now to curb the persecution of the poor.
