Men, from sll present indi- cations the coming political pri- mary campaignis go'sg to be loaded with some terrible ex- plosives. You who don't want to: be blown up had better go slow. You bad heiter be @ little bat more careful because you can so easily disfranchise yourself. Watch out that you don’t enter into the “selling and buying” Propaganda. If you have any real down right manhood about you, you had better get busy and exert it. Study menand meas- @res for yourselves. Ask the man whoseeks your vote what he stands for. Ask bim what wil) be do with tne office after he is elected to itand what wiil he do with you when you shail have put him in office. There is no berm in asking these questions You colored men, ask them how they stand on this all important race question. If he is for “Jim Crowing.” segregating and dis criminating against vou because you are a Negro, then he doesn’t need yoar vole and don’t wte for him. Ask them are they in favor of secing that better pro tection and safe guards are thrown around our women, and whether they are in favur of put- ting the screws of the law tight ly down on the cowardly leeches who seek to destroy the honor of our women and the reace or bomes. Ask them are they in favor of giving your race vere school facilities with modern methods of sanitation in which your children are to be educated eswellas that of the whites. These big fat offices in which the tables are heavily laden with the richest of mests and where the best pies are served are not ex- Dected to be filled by the Negro, and the white man who tills them, if 0. K., is not envied (and by the way they are siways f\i- ed by white men,) but it does ay pear that morecommon sense, care and action ought to ve used fm the selection of men. His ‘money, bis good looks, his smiles and deceptive political pats on the shoulder are not sufficient Fecommendstions to pass him | Into office if behind all these he Seeks to conceal the weapon of Gisfranchisement, segregation and class legisistion and for the | Gorrepting of our women and Girls. Don’t pets man into of. See who ws too mean and preja- dice to speak to you unless it is @e cleetion day. Don’t vote tor @@08 who ts t00 cowardly pre} be won’s recommend » friendly ands wore ey races. And above all else, don't vote nor speak fora man simply for a few personal bonors, com- pliments and favors he may give voa, but if be shows the proper respect and consideration for the race then think on him with kind. ness. Support men to office be- cause of their fitness and because of & record of usefulness to the people as a whole. TWG MEN MAKING GOOD. _ Attorneys A.G. Prue and H. J. Capehart, who were retained ‘to defend two Italians appeared in the circuit court and were ad- ‘mitted to the bar of Marion coun- ty last week where they have made an enviable reputation for themselves by the dignified and learned manner in which they handled thie famous case, Truly these two men of the law are meriting the highest compli- ments from everybody for the masterly method in their prac tice and the dignity they are giving to the profession of law. They never go into court unvre- pared and their knowledge of the law, their faithfulness to their client, their unceasing en- ergies for victory at whatever they put their hands, bas ia only merited the highest con- ‘idence for and ic them by their clientile, but has made them em inently recognised as extraordi- nary men in the profession by their associates, whether white or biack. They are making good as any oneelse might do who hts himself and who takes s de- ight io doing shings as good as anyone else. The race has a rigbt to be proud of these men and their ability to defend the poor creatares who frequently 4et caught in the meshes of the law. CASES 60 OVER. ‘The cases of the men indicted for rape in connection with the Mamie Piood-Lacy Cooper affair were continued until the Janu- ary term of court and they were released on $5,000 bonds esch.

No Republican ought to think on the pussible candidates with any- thing less than mere friendship, republicanism and a mutual good feeling with all the rights of the other fellow togo before the People with each man’s claim to the people's support. They all will be Repablicans who partt- ctpate in the Republican primary: There ieno need of breaking friendsbip with another stepab- lican because he bappens to dif. fer in his choice of men for office. That is what the primary elec- tion meant—to give every voter the unmolested right to select the man of his individual choice.

F., Nov. 24 — A long pull a strong pull, and pull altogether, was so much used in making a pay attention to a job and to serve or serve a temporary building as house the congregation of the Metropolitan Baptist church worsening under a canteen tent, at the corner of Court and Connaught streets, was the unused office of the interested citizen who attended these services at the same army and Sunday at eleven within the Reservoir P. R. White, W. P. Prince and R. M. Mayflower conducted the opening service. The pastor Raw N. L. Jones, M. D., introduced Mrs. Addie Davie, the noted evangelist from Chennai who presented an excellent service. The call climaxed from points of attention and attendance filling the day was met at the special service held at a church which was addressed by the Rev. Pat Willett (white) of the Cotton Mission. The speaker continued and fired the means of the big audience, introduced himself as being in accord with the move and congratulated the listeners that it was their duty to adhere literally that through the operation of the new church. Charleston would be the town and speaking of a new day at the night services there was a great aid and general rally and the anxious memory and was asked to accommodate the crowd. Bass G. L. Jones of Newport, Kenne- y, V. & K. Davs of Cincinnati and R. L. Woodard of Charleston conducter the devotions. Mr. Robert Krypt of the st. Paul African Methodist Episcopal church says, "The Lord Me." Misses Namia Finney and Mildred Randolph say, "A little With Me," after which Mr. Addie Lawse was again introduced and presided a powerful sermon. This gift engendered a truly the wonder of the age, among the country, prescribing and scouting, and the power to captivate and spiritually identify our own moor- ing audience in little less than a minute. This meeting was worked up by Season L. & Not and the memorial tail was fur- nished free of charge through the cour- sey of Mr. C. R. Crawley (white). Prof. W. & Custer with St. Albert wore sung at the morning and night services, while the well known Choral club under the personal direction of Mr. C. R. Custer finished music at three o'clock. There was recess during the day in inter- sessions and each day.
