CELEBRATED IN TEXAS BY MUR- DERING A BOY Midnight Tells How Officers of the Law Shot Young Man In the Back Baton Rouge, La.—I told you about the meeting of the Bishops in Dallas, Texas, in my last letter, but I did not tell you then, but will now, that them wild men in Texas had to show off before their guest could get away for on Sunday night some men who were officers of the law, took from the jail in Dallas a young man and said they were carrying him to Fort worth for trial on Monday, and the boy attempted to get away and they shot him to death. I wonder if you could believe this if you told it yourself. They took him in an automobile, three in number, and I mean men, to convey the boy to jail for trial. They did not hand-cuff him Why-not? They got almost to Fort Worth, and then left the main road, for reasons known to them, and it was there where the boy made a plunge and three men could not hold him, but shot him to death, all the bullets entering his back. Of course they were exonerated. The crime for which he was to be tried was committed in Arlington, and why did they get excited entering Fort Worth and leave the main road? Can you tell me? I just feel like cussing like herr itself, but cannot afford it, but I am doing some mighty thinking, which may be misunderstood for cuss words if you could just see the inside of my thinker. It is enough to make a deacon lay his religion down, saying nothing about the preacher and aids. I would like to ask you to pray for me. I want to get to Heaven when I die. I may be nearing the grave now. Dr. Conrad succeeded in getting me some better, but then that is not a guarantee that I am not marked for Heaven on this round. I am ready and willing to go, and don't have any favor to ask about it. I had been doing some getting around in Fort Worth on that very Sunday, and had gone to my bed when this shooting took place. The next day I could see the look of hell in the faces of many of the young men, and I am praying the white man to come to his senses, before something awful happens to him and to me. I don't want that bad things shall happen, but I am anxious that we shall dwell together in unity, feeling that God is Father of us all, and we serve him, one recognizing the manhood rights of the other, and each stay on his own side of the social fence, and both strike down sin. Every time these things happen, it causes SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 the gunshop to sell just one more gun, and one more young man of my race prepares to die and they kill. Let us all live until we are called away by the natural way. I hear talk about Klu Klux Klan, and things like that, but those who are making up such organizations they had better abandon them. It would pay the limb of the law to swoop down on such organization, for it means only the shedding of human blood and causing the death of many innocent men, women and children. When bullets get to flying they do not draw the color line or any other line, but will strike at us all. I tremble in my pants when I think about what is liable to happen, and let us all pray that all kind of lawlessness will be abandoned. I have lots of faith in the law, the law makers, the law executioners, and I think that all will yet be right. I have been back to Guthrie in the sanitarium, and Dr. Conrad has taken another inventory of the bugs and listened to their talk about what they were going to do with me, and I heard him tell them that he was going to show them a thing or two, and he is just prepared to do that. He gave me something and told me to take 30 drops three times or four times a day, and that we reach them inside bugs, and this I have been doing. Of course I got around to the home of Miss Daisy E. Jackson, who is as busy as she could be teaching in the public school, and the high school at that. She wanted me to have lunch with her, but she was in the school room and there was Sergeant Green, retired, who lived just a few doors ahead of her, and his wife is one of the finest women in the country, and she invited me to come along and have the lunch, and believe me it was some lunch, too, and found ready access to my eternity box. Sergeant Green is one of the men who has served well his country along time ago. He has been in the regular army, Ninth Cavalry, and remained in the service until he was retired on pay, and now, because of the service he rendered the country, the federal government supports him and his wife, and he can take life easy. When he was a soldier he was some soldier and made good. He was such an expert with a gun that he could shoot a fly off the wart on your nose without touching you. That's shooting some. I talked with these people and made my getaway. When I was here a few weeks ago, I was in the hospital under Mrs. M. M. Baranco, but this time I am at the home of Dr. W. D. Thomas, who is one more good doctor, as well as the professor of science at the institution, and from this you see I have been promoted from the nurse to the doctor, and I hope that I will not be transported to Heaven from here. This is one more busy place, and you will recognize it at once CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, E AND FORK B DF. W. E. BURGH OUR EXECUTIVES FOR Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, March 4, 1921 C President Warren G. President Calvin Coolidge,wrated today. The ceremonie the utmost simplicity, due to pression in the United States both are men of simple taste President Warren G. Harding and VicePresident Calvin Coolidge, who are being inaugurated today. The ceremonies will be marked by the utmost simplicity, due to the prevailing depression in the United States and to the fact that both are men of simple tastes. for everywhere they are putting up buildings. Some time ago the state appropriated money for two buildings, trades building for boys and the same kind of building for girls, and they are now nearing completion, and the ground is being broken for the new dining hall, which will be first-class, and then will follow the residence for the president, and the cottages for teachers, administration building, and others may come out of the two hundred thousand dollars appropriated for that purpose by the legislature upon the recommendation of the governor. Dr J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, has shown to these people the necessity of erecting buildings for our people and they are responding in good shape. They are just putting down the money, and placing education within the reach of every child in the state and when they all become educated you are going to see a new state and a new order of things. Mind will recognize mind and thought will recognize thought and both are colorless: Dr. Clark is not making much [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, looking slightly to the right.] [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a badge on his chest].

The white people believe in him and his people believe in him, and he has faith in himself, and is erecting a monument which will cause him to live forever. His age will never be computed because of his service. All may not agree with him, but will give him credit of living well and serving well. Dr. Clark is now in the rank of such great educators as Booker T. Washington, William H. Councill, Robert R. Moton, and others. I am proud to know that he has such a person associated with him who are not selfish, but are just serving. He has a whole team in Dr. W. D. Thomas, whose birthplace was in Georgia, and who took time to prepare himself for work. He is at the head of the department of science, and is right by the side of President Clark, rendering him the best of service. In his class room I wanted to let him know I knew something about science, and I said: "Dr. Thomas take the heckulimbus h2O 0.4, tulcuslerumti."

I felt good, but when he had a private conversation with me, he told me that I should not speak that way before students, for there was nothing I said that had any meaning. I went to the office, and met one of the finest young women I have met since I have been in the world, Miss L. L. Anthony, who comes from Georgia, and I am told one of the finest book-keepers in the country. She is found all the time writing in her big books, keeping moss from growing on dollars and pennies. She knows this art, and I congratulated her in these words: "Congratulaturi inconcognutus ramilotel." She thought that I had some kind of head disease, and said nothing else to me, and I don't blame her. Mrs. Thomas is in Kentucky, looking after her sick father, who is expected to cross the river at any time. He is Rev. P. H. Kennedy, of Henderson, Ky. I met Mrs. E. N, Mayberry who has charge of the department of mesticated science or something like that. She teaches the girls how to do all kind of cooking, and they tell me that she is one of the finest in America. I take off my hat to her. She is a widow with one daughter. Miss L. Walton, from New York, is in charge of mesticated arts and she is teaching the girls how to use the needle, how to do free-hand drawing, and other things. I shall not be able to tell you all I have in my mind this time. I will have to take another letter and just tell you all about the teachers. I am getting ready for the Supreme Lodge next August. I see where Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, Supreme Counsellor E. G, Tidrington, Grand Chancellor Thompson, Grand Counsellor Mrs, Norene Davis, General Robert R. Jackson and General Thomas Kennedy have all been to Topeka, looked over the situation and are satisfied with the surroundings, and they are now getting ready for the trip. Save your money. I shall have more to say in another letter. ROYAL CONFECTIONARY MOVES TO LARGER QUARTERS The Royal Confectionary, that has been doing business for a year or better at 421 Minnesota avenue, owing to the rapid growth of their business, were compelled to secure larger quarters to accommodate their trade. Their new location is just across the street, 418 Minnesota avenue, where they moved the first of the week. The room in which they occupy now is roomy, and when it is fitted up and decorated, as they expect to do soon, it will be one of the handsomest rooms in the block. There are two business partners, Messrs. Alex Hicks and John Golden, two young colored men, who have made good since coming to this city, and all well thinking people of the race feel proud of them and their success. They are practical candy makers of the highest and purest quality. They will have in operation a fine soda fountain, handsome ice cream parlor, fruits of every kind, soft drinks, cigars and tobacco. They will also serve light lunches. It is with pride we can say Kansas City, Kansas, will have a first-class refreshment parlor for our people to go in. We wish for these young enterprising men every success in their new and larger quarters. First Baptist church had a big rally last Sunday and will have communion this Sunday. 'Number 31.

The Trouvuers are composed of Kansas City, Kansas, young men, and is up to date, only three months in existence as an organization with a membership of thirty. Among the several lofty pur- poses of the club it anticipates stimulating social activity on the Kansas side, and standard- izing the same to cope with that of any other city. The evening was spent in re- fined hilarity, mirth and merri- ment effervescing from every angle and congeniality compos- ed the prevailing atmosphere of the occasion. The decorations of a Japan- ese effect were in every sense dicty and appropriate for the general scheme of the party; comment upon “Little Island of the Orient” as it seemed, heard between acts of tripping the light fantastic to the music that was transcendent in jarmony, melody and properly punctuated with “Jazz” — indicated that their artistic temperament had never been more highly grati- Tied ior exquisiteness. The costumes were elaborate and caught the eye one each ot the other; many new creation: were exhibited, distinctivenes: being a very marked feature 01 the gowns. The evening closed with < spirit of regret that the hour o: ONE had come, departing, th guests greeted the president Mr. R. V. Welton, declarin; they had spent a most delight ful evening, and that succes: was the stamp of the party it every sense of the word.

PLEASANTON, KANSAS The second quarterly meet- ing for this conference year just held, was extra good from many standpoints. The presid- ing elder delivered excellent sermons here, and in the after- noon a great meeting at La Cygne,-which is on the circuit. At Pleasanton, gas has been in- stalled in the church- and fix- tures put in. The members are teking hold and rallying to the house of God.

Mrs. Waters arose in the morning, well as usual, and after attending her usual morning house duties went to the Missouri side to fill an engagement in service, and about 8:30 the landlady heard a Sound up stairs. Going up she Yound Mrs. Waters lying on the floor unconscious and before any aid could be had, she pass- ed away without reviving. The deceased was born October 23, 3870, and at the time of death was 51 years, four months and one day old. She confessed a hope in Christ in Argenta, Ar- kansas, thirty years ago and was a faithful and ardent work- er up to the time of her death. the African Methodist Episco- pal church being her choice. She was a loving mother and a devoted wife and her friends were many. Mrs. Waters was a devoted member and had been foi many, years of First A.

THE SPRING CAMPAIGN AND THE COLORED VOTER The political pot is begining to sizzle and as usual we find th ecolored voters lining up be- hind their favorite candidates, white men, with the usual plea that if you are elected will you give us a job, without the slightest suggestion that men in the race are as well fitted and as much entitled to public office as anybody, and while I am not a candidate for any office, if there is a colored man in town with the backbone and the courage to throw his hat into the ring I stand ready to sup- port him to the limit—Forrest B. Anderson. . t C. M. E. CHURCH The Stewardess Board No 2 was entertained last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. C. R. John- son 1964 North Sixth street. A lovely lunch was served and a Jovely selection was given by Mrs. Lottie Storey and Mrs. James W. Leeson, after which a vote of thanks was extended to the hostess for open doors.

NIGHT SCHOOLS TO The colored night schools of the city will have their commencement exercises next Tuesday night, March 8, at Kansas City, Kansas, High school, Ninth street and Minnesota avenue. Supervisor J. P. King of the four night schools, says all of the schools have been well attended, and the year's work has been very satisfactory and that plans are being made for greater work next year. The doors will open Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. Seats are free. FIRST BAPTIST RALLY The rally of First Baptist church, which came off Sunday, ran over $3,000 and quite a number of others are yet to report. The rally is to be continued. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, could not be present on account of illness, which was probably some handicap in a greater amount raised, but the congregation is among the most loyal in the city. Master George Albert Freeman celebrated his ninth birthday, February 22, at his home, 1416 State avenue, with his little friends, Dan and Charles Mathews as guests. Sumner night school chorus and the public speaking class rendered a program at the C. M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., Thursday night, March 3, and were praised and served refreshments. Mr. and Mrs. John Spencer, of Washington, D. C., are living in Mrs. M. C. Matthews home, at 1102 Oakland avenue. W. C. Arch, circulating manager of The Advocate, was in St. Joseph and Savannah, Mo., several days last week and took several subscriptions for the paper; also a number of orders for raincoats. He spent a few days this week at Leavenworth, in the interest of The Advocate. Little Louise Julia Wilson of 1030 Grandview boulevard, who has been ill for a few weeks, is able to be out again. Mrs. Lottie Story of Eldora, Kans., was called to Covington, Tenn., to the bedside of her grandmother, Mrs. Bettie Tolbert was in Topeka, Kans., last week attending the funeral of Rev. Warfield. Mrs. Chas. Ish has been quite ill for two weeks, but is reported to be improving. INCOME TAX RULING HELPS WORKERS Recent rulings of the internal revenue bureau will relieve workers engaged in the transportation service and other occupations of a substantial part of their income tax liability. Workers whose duties require them to be absent from home and travel, imposing upon them charges for food and lodgings, may deduct such charges from gross income. Heretofore the abatement of these charges has not been permitted. It is estimated that this exemption will save trainmen on an average of $20 if they make their claim in the specified manner. All that is required is that to statutory exemptions be added such items as have been expended while absent from home on duty. Officers of lodges of railroad workers in terminal districts have engaged attorneys to prepare sample returns that will be used as guides by men in the train service and others who are not familiar with the rather complex details of income tax statements. Every employee on the Missouri & North Arkansas railroad, from passenger engineer and conductor to king snipe, quit work Saturday because of a 20% reduction in pay announced for March 1. The M. & N. A. operates from Seligman, Mo., on the Frisco, to Helena, Aak. Advertisements were placed in the Kansas City newspapers Sunday for men, but all the representative in the Railway Exchange building got were some men who had been blackballed from other roads for fighting booze. The shops and main offices of the road are at Harrison. Ark., while the general offices are in St. Louis. The road is known as a Heim Brewery property. There is some demand for farm help just now, but at wages that preclude the possibility of a married man taking such a job. However, unlike the big profitering industries, the farmers cannot pay more at the prevailing prices of products. Eggs sold in Piper, Kans., Saturday at 12 cents per dozen, in trade. Before Reaching Kansas City the price had raised to 40 and 60. Someone, enroute, must have made a good profit. Citizens along the line of the Kansas City Northwestern are trying to perfect plans by which the road may be operated. The money recently paid by the government for the "use" of the road while under government control has been absorbed by Receiver Cass, leaving the concern bankrupt. Mr. Cass draws a large salary, although the road is not in operation. The Republic Iron & Steel company reports clear profits of $7,616,523.43 last year. This is equivalent to $25.39 a share on the 300,000 shares of common stock and is exclusive of all other charges and dividends on preferred stock. In 1919 the earnings on common stock was $8.56 a share. Along with the general downward trend of things, new homes appear to have raised in price. Small bungalows, costing less than $2,000 to erect are priced at $5,000, with $500 cash. It pays parties looking for homes to purchase vacant property and build. Although there are millions of unemployed in this country, Banker Sisson cries for more emigrants. Mr. Sisson is vice-president of a big financial institution in New York City. One hundred seventy-two men were killed in the mines of the United States during the month of November, 1920. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Anna Livington, who departed this life February 28, 1918. "We did not know the pains she had, but we did see her die. And we only knew she passed And we only knew she passed away, and did not say goodbye. A precious one from us has gone, a voice we loved is still. A place is vacant in our home, which never can be filled. We think of her in silence, no eyes can see us weep. But many a silent tear we shed while others are asleep." Sadly missed by husband and children. Isaac Livingston, husband; Oscar Woods, C. C. Woods, Ludella Coleman, Lutisha Alexander, Martha Muse, Rosie Muse, children. Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Johnson are improving their walks, etc. GREAT OPPORTUNITY PEOPLE THE WONDERFUL FRUIT WE SELL ONE CALL AT O WRITE US RING BELL PHONE HOMESTEAD DEW 1314 N.
