Anti Lynching Bill Passed In West Virginia FOR THE BAD YOU DO READ OTHER PAPERS FOR THE GOOD! YOU DO READ THE BYSTANDER Anti Ly [Name of the person depicted] [Family Portrait of a Group of Individuals] VOL. XXVI. NO. 44. --- Law Gives Family of Person Mobbed $5,000 and Penalty of Death to all Participants. OTHER BILLS LISTED. Charleston, W. Va., April 27. Subjecting the county to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent anti-lynch bill thus far enacted by any of the states. H. J. Capchart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, trew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, overcoming the most determined opposition of the Democratic minority, which sought to emasculate it by proposing various amendments. As originally drawn, the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,000 and made every county through which the mob might pass jointly and severally liable. To meet the objections of many of the party members and secure their support, Capchart reduced the amount to $5,000 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might aid and abet the lynchers. Other legislation of particular benefit or interest to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys and an industrial home for colored girls, introduced by Delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as is true of the measure establishing a bureau of Negro welfare and statistics.

Redding and Oscar McGavick will not die on the gallows this week. Reprieves until June 24 have been granted by Governor Len Small to allow attorneys time to take the cases to the Supreme court. This action was taken by the executive upon unanimous recommendation of the board of pardons. All arrangements for the hangings had been completed by Jailer Lee. McGavick and Redding, the two Negroes convicted of murdering a sailor during the "Abyssinian" riot last summer, roused all the prisoners in the jail with their singing when they learned they learned that they were not to die on the next day. They shot G. L. Rose, a sailor, as he attempted to prevent them burning a U. S. flag last summer. fort of passengers," was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing its consideration. The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate. BOY SCOUT DINNER A SUCCESS. Troop No. 59 of the Boy Scouts, John L. Thompson, committee president; gave a 6 o'clock dinner last week at Union Congregational church. The mothers of the Boy Scouts prepared the repast. As most all of the provisions were donated by parents and friends the boys were encouraged to have another dinner in the very near future. M. R. S.

Flipper Ap. pointed Assistant Secretary of Interior. Chicago, April 21.—Secretary of the Interior Fall, without noise or excitement, dropped Lieut. Flipper into a berth, and gave him the opportunity to look after Alaskan affairs. The "crocadile tears" of certain clerks who formally marched before the secretary to announce that it would be impossible for them to serve in the department with a colored American as chief, did not move the secretary. His response was brief and to the point; "This, desk of mine," he said "is large enough to hold all the resignations of those who do not wish to work." Sec. Mellen Lays Down Law. Secretary of the Treasury Mellen during a recent tour of one of the departments under his control happened to cast his eye upon one of the isolated Wilson segregation signs. "What's this?" he asked sharply. The excited subordinate stammeringly attempted reply, "Never mind," broke in the Secretary, "Take it down at once, and I never want to see any thing like it again. This is a government of all the people without segregation." Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Hoover will be found to be "Johnny on the spot," in the matter of upholding the new ideals of fair play.

Revelations of Murders as Horrible as Williams Farm Atlanta, Ga., April 26.—Revelations of murders of Negro peons on a south Georgia farm, said to be equally as horrible as those disclosed on the farm of John Williams, now under a life sentence at Covington, Ga., were believed to have been made here Monday to the federal grand jury as it began to investigate labor conditions on plantations of a dozen Georgia counties. Governor Dorsey is understood to be co-operating with the federal authorities and if the charge of murder is made, he is expected to bring the case to the attention of the state prosecutors. District Attorney Hooper Alexander said conditions on the farm now under investigation will be published as soon as the apparently authentic intimations so far received have been verified. Reliable and substantial business men of southern Georgia are the principal witness in the new case. They are understood to be entirely, willing to appear before any court of proper jurisdiction. "The evidence is of such a sensational nature that the case may become as bad as the Williams case," said Vincent Hughes, in charge of the Atlanta investigation bureau of the department of justice. Palatka, Fla., April 21.—E. E. Nottage, colored, was elected alderman from the sixth ward in the municipal election here, defeating C. E. Porter, a white man. The election of Nottage places two colored men on the council, the other member also being from the sixth ward, a district populated almost entirely by Negroes.

When we have a tendency to become angry with others when they disappoint us, it might be well for us to investigate our own condition and see if we are not a little disappointing sometimes ourselves, we may judge others a little more charitably. We must remember that we all have our weak points and the very thing that is strongest in ourselves may be the weakest in some ones else. that we need to do is to make a thorough search of all things pertaining to our lives and the lives of others and find what may be the greatest obstruction in the lives of those with whom we work. if this we may find that the thing that seemed disappointing in our followers may not be so bad after all. It may be only a different viewpoint which he takes from that of our own. that there are many different temperaments among people, in fact as many as there are people and what may seem to disappoint you in your brother may not be so bad after all and if we make a careful survey of the situation, we may find that the situation are as much to blame as our neighbor. We may be just as disappointing to others as they seem to be to us, so the best policy to follow when we seem to be disappointed is to let the whole problem squarely in the face and perhaps when all is said and done we will not be so badly disappointed after all.

Kink-no-more was made on the rise of the hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not for one day, or one day. But, if I said, if I said, I can't make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelous goes to its work. I am one of the only who have the eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of the time I have to do for a pair that Kink-no-more is not straightened.
