PRES. CENSURE LYNCHING Indict Williams Again For Peonage Murder VOL. XXVI. NO. 42. Indict Peona Georgia Grand Jury also Indicts Sons of Convicted Plantation Owner Monticello, Ga., April 11.—Indictments were returned here today by Jasper county grand jury against John S. Williams, his three sons, Huland, Marvin and Leroy, and Clyde Manning, his Negro farm boss, who accused Williams of inciting the murders. Eight indictments were found against Williams, charging the murder of farmhands, whose bodies were recently found buried in pastures on his farm or were dragged from near-by rivers. Eight indictments also were returned against Clyde Manning for the same killings. Huland Williams was indicted for the killing of the Negro named "Black Strap." The jury will continue tomorrow investigation of the recent lynching of Eugene Hamilton. The investigation was begun this morning and Superior Judge Parks, in charging the jurors, declared that unless the law acted to check "these cold-blooded murders and outrages I firmly believe God Almighty will soon take the situation in hand." Judge Parks had a prayer said in court before instructing the jury. "Lawlessness in this section has now reached the point where it will cause us to be shunned unless we check it" Judge Parks said. "We will soon reach the stage where no capital will come here and help us develop our great natural resources." DES MOINES BRANCH OF THE N. A. A. C. P. ACTIVE In accordance with plans announced some weeks ago, the Des Moines Branch of the National Association of Colleges of Education People is making a big effort to reach its quota of 1,000 members in the nation-wide drive for a quarter million members, launched recently by the National Association.

Committee chairman and executive board members have pledged themselves to secure a certain number of the successful workers. At a recent meeting of the Executive Board important business matters were discussed. Several communications were read from the national office. In response to a request from the national office, the De J. A. Jefferson, was instructed to send a telegram to Pres. Harding uiring that a Negro be appointed register of the United States treasury, an office always held by a Negro prior to the democratic administration of Woodrow Wilson, filed by the white employees of the treasury department against the appointment of a colored man for the place. The president also was instructed to communicate with the State Housing Commissioner relative to housing commission votes to request the withdrawal of the name of the Des Moines Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which was signed to resolutions presented at the Trotter meeting recently held at St. Paul's A. M. E. church, on account of the fact that the action was unmerited. Papers were put in circulation, petitioning the president of the United States to exercise the power of executive elementary and pardon the members of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry now serving life and long sentences in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, convicted in connection with the riots at Houston, Texas, in August, 1917. Elbert R. Hall, chairman of the educational committee reported visits by Dr. T. L. Griffith and Dr. C. S. Medbury, members of his committee, to a number of school and Parrot Teachers associations of different institutions. Mr. Hall also reported the following facts concerning Negro teachers in the mixed or democratic schools of the north as a result of a result of a recent investigation he made: Riot Leaders To Die In The Noose Chicago, March 29.—Grover C. Redding and Oscar McGavick, Negroes, convicted leaders of the Abyssinian riots of last June, were today sentenced to be hanged on April 22. The sentences came after Judge George Kersten had overruled motions for new trials. Attorneys for the men indicated there would be no appeal. The men are found guilty of the murder of Robert L. Rose, of Philadelphia, a sailor stationed at the Great Lakes naval training station, who was shot when he rushed to the defense of the United States flag, which was being burned as a part of the ritual of the Abyssinians." Redding who has been feining insanity, turned his back on the judge when the latter pronounced sentence. Arkansas Jury Fails to Convict Negro Little Rock, Ark., April 11.—The jury in the case of Emanuel West, a Negro charged with assaulting a white woman, was discharged today after failing to reach an agreement.

Inez McWhother at White House Former Colored Cook of Hardings at Marion Presents Some Cakes the President Likes. Washington, D. C., March 25.—While a number of office seekers drummed their heels at the White House executive offices today waiting to see George Christian, jr., secretary to the president, approached a doorkeeper and whispered something to him with the result that she was shown in immediately to Mr. Christian's office. Hello, Inez," said Mr. Christian. "What can I do for you?" "I want to see the president and give me a seat," said Mr. Whorter, the Harding's cook in Marion, whipped beef and waffles received almost as much publicity as the republican presidential candidate himself, showed Mr. Christian the contents of her package. When the Hardings came to the House, Inez was engaged as cook in the Washington home of U. S. Grant, jr. A few moments later Inez, a broad smile on her face, was stopped by a newspaper man as she was leaving the executive offices. "On see the president?" she was asked. "Yas, I saw the president and I gave him sumif he hasn't had since he was in Marion," Inez replied. "I made some little cakes for him, the kind he made for me. He took him from me 'th his own hand. The president he 's jes' the—" "Who is you?" Inez broke off, peering into the face of her questioner. "Is you one of those men who writes for the newspaper, or does it down that they ain't no change in Mr. Hardin' nim bein 'pres'dent, he's jus' the same as he ever was." SEVEN BYSTANDER-APRIL 7 21 CLAUDE M.KAY, AFRICAN POET, MADE CO-EDITOR New York, April 1—For the first time in New York, Max Eastman, a worth among our people have been recognized by a white magazine. The Liberator, published at 138 West Thirteenth street, this city, is first to come to this realization. It has added to its reputation as a leading African poet, whose book, "Spring in New Hampshire and Other Poems," was recently published in England. Of him, the Westminster Gazette said: "It is an honor to our language that Max Eastman has written by an African poet for such passionate exhortation to his own people." In commenting on the addition of Mr. McKay to the Liberator staff, Max Eastman states that he receives with assuring the reader that it is calculated to produce the highest editorial efficiency." Mr. McKay has been in America for a number of years, but because of the lack of public attention he known to the public, his first attracted the attention of literary critics when his writings were carefully reviewed by Frank Harris (white), editor of Pearson's Magazine, critics who depended on his prejudice alone America has snubbed such a literary find. The Liberator styles itself, American on its staff, Max Eastman, Floyd McKay, Moosemott radical monthly, and David Minor. It has advocates socialism. Bain For Ku Klux Klan Invades Chicago 100 Per Cent American Crder Has Membership Of 800 Chicago, March 29. — Chicago now has 7,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan, and the promoters say they will swell this number to 25,000, or 30,000 in a short time. Twenty organizers are now at work in response to twenty-five hundred letters asking membership, received at central headquarters at Atlanta, Ga. Edward Clark, a traveling representative of the order, says that 20,000 members were secured in New York in a six weeks "campaign," and that four thousand members were secured in Seattle in ten days. The klan is a 100 per cent American secret order, and it insists upon four fundamental principles. First, that all members be native born Americans, of native born parents; that white supremacy in the United States must be maintained; sanctity of the home and protection of womanhood must be assured, and, fourth, complete separation of church and state. The reborn organization is given credit by the southerners for saving the old south after the civil war from colored domination, and from exploitation, in its weakened state, by "scalawags" and "carpetbaggers," disreputable whites who flocked to the south from northern cities immediately after the war. No Negro, Japanese, Chinese or any other foreigner may join, nor can any person become a member who pledges allegiance to any foreign power, religious, political or otherwise. SHERIFF MAKES MOB DEPUTIES; SAVES PRISONER Tampa, Fl., April 7.—The quick wit of Sheriff John Logan of Polk county saved from lynching Wilmer Collins, a Negro yesterday. Collins, who was arrested on a charge of having attacked six white women was being taken to the Barlow county jail by the sheriff and three deputies. Just outside Ireland, a crowd of 100 men surrounded the party's automobile. Facing the mob Sheriff Logan declared, "I know every man among you. I swear each and every one of you in as a deputy sheriff. It is your duty no w/o escort, with us, this prisoner to the jail at Barlow. DES MOINES NBL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NEWS. Des Moines, Iowa, April 12—The monthly meeting of the Negro Business league of this city met at the Community Center. After the reports of the commissioners, the board, Frank Blaghman received his experience at the druggists-convention last week. He added that they were trying to educate the druggists to do the thing that the only placard on the walls of the In International Cash Register says "You must be a druggist to terrises go to the wall for lack of applied thought than any other thing a for the n lit- at st at- rities y re olo ritizes rithough ibibed Amer- Floyd and advo- The Grocery Problems as discussed by the merchants and other members seemed to center around the one thing 'a cheap Jew or white man can put rotten goods into the hands of colored customers easier than the colored percyyman can the best of goods.' The president urged greater co-operation between the merchants in this way they should not only be benefited personally but, would be educating the Negro to execute his duty by trading with colored people. He also urged the colored groceryman to equip themselves to deliver goods to any part of the city. ```markdown ``` Startling Facts Concerning Conditions at State Prison (The The Associated Press.) Jefferson City, Mo., March 26. There are five times as many Negro criminals in Missouri as there should be, according to a report of the state Negro industrial commission, prepared by R. S. Cobb, executive secretary, which now is in process of preparation. The report is based on statistics collected at the state prison here and shows, among other things that of the 2,171 prisoners confined in that institution at the end of 1920, 763 were Negroes. All things being equal, the report sets out, the ratio of Negro prisoners to white should be about 16 to 1, or a total of 135 prisoners. Thirty-five of the sixty-five women prisoners are Negroes and the ratio should be three Negroes to five white women, based on population, Cobb declares. More than 600 of the 763 male Negroes confined in the prison are from the large cities and population centers and Cobb points with this evidence that the Negro in the rural and agricultural districts is not a criminal. The percentage from hamlets and villages is 10.2 per cent, the report will show. Says Record Alarms. This record is alarming," the report concludes. "But it is not more alarming than will be the results of surveys of health and living conditions of Negroes which now are being compiled. It is evident that it is up to the Negro race group to begin at once to improve conditions." The Negro industrial commission is lobbying for senate bill No. 547 which would provide for a separate reformatory for Negro boys because, they say, records show that reformative influences are impossible under present conditions. The result of a survey of the Boonville reformatory made last November by Myrtle Foster Cook, a member of the commission, is included in the report. This report charges that twenty-nine tradesare being taught to white boys in the institution but that none of the Negro boy inmates are being taught a trade except "casual instruction in brickmaking." Race Prejudice a Factor Race Prejudice a Factor. "Twelve Negro boys operate the laundry and do all of this kind of work for the entire institution," the report states, adding, "they never get into a classroom and spend their time loafing when not at work." Race prejudice bars the Negro boys from the trades classrooms and from mixed gangs of employees, the survey declares. Two classes of Negro boys are taught in each class and each class lasting half a day. A little arithmetic and reading and some spelling and writing is taught but no grammar or other subjects, the report charges. All of these reasons are advanced as arguments in favor of a separate institution for Negroes. N.A. A.C.P. Informs Nation of The Practice of Peonage throught out the South N.A. A.C.P. Informs Nation of The Practice of Peonage throught out the South The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public telegrams sent to President Harding and Governor Dorsey of Georgia in which the statement is made that the murderer of eleven Negroes on the Williams plantation in Georgia does not constitute an isolated case of peonage in the south but that a number of cases have been called to the attention of the department of justice in recent years. M'Cormick For Federal Inquiry To End Lynching Washington, D. C., April 12 J. Backed by the strong recommendation of President Harding in his first message, Senator McCormick, Illinois, introduced today a joint resolution creating a commission to devise more adequate methods of preventing Negro lynchings and mob violence. The commission would be empowered to conduct "A general inquiry into the subject of lynchings and mob violence, including the number of lynchings within the last twenty years and the causes thereof. It also would be directed to "consider and report its conclusions with respect to the adequacy of the means how employed for the prevention of lynchings and mob violence and the remedies available for the avoidance." The resolution is similar to the one introduced by Mr. McCormick at the last session. It would require the commission to make its report not later than Jan. 1, 1922. It carries an appropriation of $100,000. President Harding, in his address today, called on congress "to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly, representative democracy." The message declared the proposal to create a commission on lynching had "real merit." Following the introduction of the McCormick resolution the race question came up in another form when Senator Harrison, Mississippi, introduced a "Jim Crow Law" for the District of Columbia. The Arkansas riots of 1919 and the burning at stake in January of this year of Henry Lowry, are laid to the same cause and it is stated in the telegram that the practice of peonage is widespread in southern state, especially in the Mississippi Delta region. It is called the greatest cause of unrest next to lynching. In the telegram to the governor of Georgia, he is called upon not only to exercise his full power to bring the offenders in the present cases to justice, but to proceed against the widespread system of debt slavery which prevails in his state. News from the Associated Press. Dr. I. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati, secretary of the board of education for Negroes, (formerly the Freedman's Aid Society) of the Methodist Episcopal church, spent a day in Washington recently, in close conference with a number of gentlemen on very important topics. During his stay Dr. Penn assisted in entertaining President King of Liberia, in Cincinnati during his former visit here. Dr. Penn was granted an interview by President King, during his stay in Washington. The president spoke very highly of Bishop Mathew W. Clair, of the Methodist Episcopal church of Liberia. Things are different in Washington.

C., April 12—Speaking before congress Tuesday President Warren G. Harding, made public the high points of his administrative projections, and the policy of the new administration, which occasioned no little surprise among some and cause pleasure and satisfaction to the majority of the people of country, President Harding spoke on domestic problems. Among other things he said: Somewhat related to the foregoing human problems is the race question. Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly representative democracy. We face the fact that many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our population and that in a number of states they constitute a very large proportion of the total population. It is unnecessary to recount the difficult is incident to this condition, nor to emphasize the fact that it is a condition which cannot be removed. There has been suggestion, however, that some of its difficulties might be ameliorated by a humane and enlightened consideration of it, a study of its many aspects and an effort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life. One proposal is the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am convinced that in mutual tolerance, understanding, charity, recognition of the interdependence of the races, and the maintenance of the rights of citizenship, lies the road to righteous adjustment." Negro Press was "sitting in" with other newspaper representatives in the secretary of labor's outer office. There is a colored messenger in the room. A clerk was busy signing letters: Without looking up he said: "Charley, if you think of it, kindly put some ink in the well tomorrow." Then instinctively raising his head, he discovered that the "dark shadow," was none other than the A. N. P. representative. His apologies were profuse, with a very wedded face for a background. The Honorable James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. has informed The Associated Negro Press for publication that he will accept the challenge of the Honorable Eye Witness, staff writer of the Chicago Tribune, to discuss and debate the subject in Chicago, "Have their been atrocities in Haiti?" Affirmative, Mr. Johnson negative, Eye Witness. There is only one condition that Mr. Johnson imposes, the people of Chicago must get a place large enough to hold all the people who wish to hear. Chicagoans get busy. That discussion will make great copy. Too Much of a Good Thing.

In reference to the peonage murders in Georgia which have attracted nationwide attention, the New York Times has the following to say eliciterially in its issue of April 11: 'Newton county, in which John S. Williams, a planter, has been found guilty of the murder of a Negro held in peonage, is little more than an hour's ride by automobile from Atlanta, and Jasper, the adjoining county, where the defendant lived, is about thirty miles north of Macon. That part of central Georgia should be a prosperous cotton-growing country in normal times, with good schools, police protection, and courts where Negroes, however ignorant and simple, might have their wrongs inquired into. But it has been established that eleven plantation workers employed at one time or another on the Williams place were beaten to death, shot or drowned. Williams was indicted in Newton county jointly with his Negro overseer, Clyde Manning, because Allen's Bridge, from which some of the bodies of the poor wretches were cast into Yellow river, deep and swift at that point, is in Newton county. The details of the murder of the Negroes Peterson and Preston, whose hands were tied with wire, their necks bound with trace chains to weighs gunpowder. A worse story has not been told of the horrors of peonage in Yucatan. No wonder Jasper and Newton contended for the credit of putting the defendants on trial first. Their communities may not be suspected of indifference to a state of debt slavery that brutalized the whites who were responsible for it, but a healthy and active public opinion that assisted upon fair play for the Negroes and humane treatment for them would have abolished peonage long ago. It seems that the constant vigilance by the Federal Department Justice confines the post-war slavery of plantation Negroes to "sore spots where social conditions are less advanced," to quote from the report of an investigator. What should be determined is how many of these "sore spots" there are in the Cotton States. United States Attorney Hooper Alexander said in HARDING HITES NAIL ON HEAD.

A recall that when the war between the North and South got to such a colon to defeat the South although it may have been his previous intention freed the Negro. It would not be surprising if some foreign people start a confusion and right at the time when the Negro is sick of being like a dog, might line up millions strong and throw their strength in direction. What then would become of white America. Would she mercy of the world? In those words given by President Harding without question retaining of America. If Congress does such the Negro will love America. If it does not, what? January that wrongs were being perpetrated against Negroes in Georgia that "ran all the gamut from petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asserts that "peonage is widespread throughout the Mississippi Delta where ever cotton is grown and there is need of large numbers of Negro laborers." In Arkansas it has not been uncommon. In what other southern states is it tolerated or ignored? Manning, the Negro overseer who turned state's evidence, could not read or write and did not know where he was being. Precisely because of peonage are illiterate and unintelligent. When they have the glimmering of their rights and talk of organizing to get justice, they are regarded as dangerous. Education of the Negro is none too popular where hands are needed for cotton picking. The "awful tragedies" which, Governor Dorsey says, "all true Georgians deplore," point to the necessity of a thorough investigation by the Department of Justice of charges of peonage in the south.

Lynching should be made a federal offense and if officers or any one is found backing or taking part in such they should be administered this punishment "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" and then not until then will the cursed barbaric crime of lynching be stopped. It is true that the hand of heaven strikes the guilty and white America will recall that when the war between the North and South got to such a heat Lincoln to defeat the South although it may have been his previous intention to freed the Negro. It would not be surprising if some foreign power should start a confusion and right at the time when the Negro is sick of being treated like a dog, might line up millions strong and throw their strength in the other direction. What then would become of white America. Would she be at the mercy of the world? In those words given by President Harding without question rest the destiny of America. If congress does such the Negro will love America the more. If it does not, what? ANOTHER WORD ABOUT APRIL 17 (By Rev. G. W. Robinson.) In last week we tried to inform you as to our part in making Sunday., April 17 a great denominational for all. It is the new birth of the great awakening of the church. I produce here below a word from the Baptist: Four hundred years ago, on April 18, Martin Luther stove over the Diet of War and has been called the V and his council and to emphasize a fresh some of the great truths which burst forth with renewed power in the Reformation—justification by faith, the duty of oblige to Jesus Christ, the sole Lord of the conscience, the freedom and responsibility of the individual soul, the right of every man to access to the Bible in his own tongue, the obligation of loyalty to the living God, our only king. "We cannot hope to fulfil our longing for a new and reconstructed world other wise than through the truths which the Reformation proclaimed, and which have yet to dominate the life of the world." Special days in the churches have been dedicated so significant is this particular occasion that work of value in the present American situation might be accomplished by its observance.

Robinson) In last week we tried to inform you as to our part in making Sunday, April 14, a great day. It is the birth of the great awakening of the church. I produce here below a word from the Baptist: Four hundred years ago, on April 18, Martin Luther stood before the Diet of Worms at what has been called the "birth moment of civil and religious liberty," and uttered his unshakable words: "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen." For the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ, Pres. Robert E. Speer suggests that throughout the churches we should recognize on Sunday, April 17, the anniversary of the Diet of Worms and the significance of its lessons for our own day. The two paragraphs following are taken from him: "Will it not be appropriate on Sunday, April 17, for the ministers of our churches to make public recognition of the results which have flowed from Luther's fearless words before Charles Before Using After Using Not with hot irons. But do it with Kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightening preparation. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have do is apply it on the hair, and with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not for one day, or one week, but to last from six to eight weeks. You can also make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder that one marvelous does it its work that one can do with its own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any kind of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten.

UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES Tenth and Park streets, Rev. B. F. White, pastor. Priest, M. P. A. Gray filled our pulpit at the morning hour and brought to his hearers a very acceptable message. In the evening the congregation had the pleasure of listening to Mrs. P. W. Wileox of New York City, secretary of the museum of the denomination. The speaker gave an an illuminating presentation of the field covered by the work of the American Missionary association of which her office makes her a part, pointing out conditions and needs of funds and also the development of well educated and conserved persons to do missionary service. The association has been carrying on educational and religious work among the colored people of the south and other fortunate peoples since the close of the civil war. The church school registered a good attendance and the interest was up to the usual high-water mark. The graded system is being well installed and gives promise of greatly adding to the efficiency and quality of work done by the school. The coming Sunday the pastor will have for his theme at the morning hour, "Discovering One's Self." His evening subject will be, "The Joy of the Second Mile." We invite the public to worship with us. ST. PAUL A. M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES The outstanding features of our session on the 10th were: First the large attendance of the teen age boys and girls. Second, their good attention. Third and last, but by no means least, was the excellent rendition of the two selections with which the girls chorus favored us. These girls are being trained by Mrs. Griffin (pastor's wife) who can't we have a boys chorus? We are glad to note the tendency on the part of some of the teachers to organize their classes, and incite interest by giving minor prizes, etc. Such incentive is good in Sunday school work. Baking is a valuable class is growing, there are new faces present each meeting. On the whole we have much for which to praise the Lord. But let us not think the victory won, but let us think that there are hundreds of boys and girls in our city who seldom (if ever) go to Sunday school.

Preventative Medicine The tendency of medical science is toward preventative measures. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. Pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, often follows a cold or attack of the grip. The cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the pneumonia germ. The longer the cold hangs on, the greater the danger. Take Chamberlain's Dough Remedy as soon as the first induction of it appears so as to get rid of it with the least possible delay. It is folly to risk and attack of pneumonia when this remedy may be obtained for a trifle adhy. shelburn Garden at West Twelfth and Center Street is at your disposal.
