Dear Friends: Under the present Primary Laws of the State of Illinois candidates for the several offices of Massac county will be selected in September; pursuant to the Laws Regulating said Primary each and every aspirant will be required to petition the County Clerk to place his name on the ticket of his choice. Therefore you will find the name of D. L. Paris on the ticket that he has spent the best part of his life in supporting the Republican ticket for the office for Sheriff. I like the name "Republican Party" for the good they have done, if they never more succeed in electing a president of the United States, and regret very much that the management has been so as to cause so many good men to leave its ranks. However, I don't feel any remorse of conscience, on my part, for not having done my duty. I believe if there had been more of the "Golden Rule," applied in politics, we would have been the strongest political party in the United States today; for upon the purity in elections, depends the perpetuity of our political institutions- In soliciting your support, I assure you I will use no method that will cause a comparison with these statements; that will not harmonize with good citizenship and cause a growing feeling of confidence in my ability to serve you honestly and fairly to the best of my ability. I shall base my claims for the nomination upon whatever merit I may have and not upon the demerits of those who may oppose me. I ask you to judge me solely on what I am and may be capable of proving under actual test. I expect to give you every opportunity to make up a careful estimate of my fitness for the office which I now seek; as for my faults, I shall expect only that measure of charity which I mete out to others. I'm asking in all confidence and feel that the fair-minced men of Massac county, after studying over this plea, and reasoning until the First Wednesday alter the Second Tuesday in September, 1914, you will have come to the conclusion that you want me for your Sheriff and will signify it by coming to the polls and casting your vote for me I thank you for giving this much of your valuable time thus far. NEGRO SCHOOL HEAD QUITS Principal of Lincoln High School in East St. Louis, to Leave. After more than eight years in successful y opposing the efforts of negro school patrons to oust him from his position, B. F. Bowles, negro principal of the Lincoln High School in East St. Louis, announced yesterday his resignation, which will be read before the East St. Louis Board of Education to-night. Year after Bowles' reappointment as the head of the negro school has been bitterly opposed by his race and charge after charge has been brought against him with the result of his vindication and reappointment each time by the Board of Education. Monday's Globe Democrat. Judge W. F. Smith, Seeks The name of Judge W. F. Smith, can be found in the announcement column of this paper for re-election. His name will go before the Republican voters of Massac county at the Primary election, to be held on Wednesday September 16, 1914. He has a splendid official record upon which he is asking to be returned to office to succeed himself. He promised the voters when he was a candidate the first time, to devote his entire time, to the duties of the office if elected, something that had not been done before, and has faithfully kept his promise and no one can truthfully say that he has not conscientiously and faithfully lived up to his word The office of County Judge is an important one and to have a man of Judge Smith's character to fill the place is something the voters of the County should appreciate. During his present term he has done everything in his power to place the office on a creditable business basis. That he has succeeded will be proved without a doubt to anyone who cares to take the time to inspect the records of the office which are always open to the public. He has gone to considerable personal expense in fitting up the office so that the records may be left in a neat and uniform manner. The voters would do well to return the Judge to office again. MOTTO : "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Searching parties were formed and his body was found in about one foot of water Wednesda.y It it is thought that he committed suicide.. MT. VERNON. Editor Gazette, Pleas chronicle the following. I noticed an article from the pen of my dear friend, E. C. Phillips I shall not attempt to answer him, other than to say he has spoken my sentiment. May God bless him. If more of the laity of our churches would speak out in defense of the ministers who have under God made this district what it is the burden of the minister would not be so heavy, nor would the embarrassment of blowing their own horn. While I know we ministers are not what we should be, neither are we what we desire to be, but, are doing the best we can and God has prospered the work in our hands, and is still leading us on to victory. Yes, some of us as ministers take too much upon our selves. Your humble servant having been elected emoderator of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association. I am trying to work in that capacity humbly as a servant of God, and the people, considering the right of all men, and no minister who do not regard the rights of his brother minister is qualified to be a leader of the people. I would not recommend no preacher to any church out of my district, and ask them to call him without doing so through the ministers of that particular district. To be plain. I think if Dr. E. J. Fisher, of Chisago, would pastor the Olivet Baptist, and execute the duties of a president of the Baptist State Convention he would have his hands full. I would not assume the responsibility to send no preacher into his district to take charge of any church, without doing so through him or some good pastor of his district. We did not elect Dr. Fisher; for our State missionary we don't expect for him to do the State missionary's work, and as moderator of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association I am going to ask Dr. Fisher, since the preachers of this district have made it what it is, and realizing that no one understands the dignity of the ministry better than himself, I ask that he respect the ministers enough to not try to ride rough shod over the brethren of my idistrict, by trying to put everything that comes along into our churches or pulpits, without consulting with the brethren of my district. We are here and are not asleep, we are on the alert, watching every phase of the work and it keeps us so busy that we haven't. the time to look after the Bethlehem district, and too, if we had the time we have too much respect for the ministers of that district and the work they have done to ride rough shod over their rights Egypt, is asking no favors above that which is due us. Just simply stand aside out of our sun shine. Carnation Art Club. Monday p.m. April 27. The Ladies Carnation Art Club, was entertainud by Mrs. Wm.

We had a good meeting Sunday morning and baptized one candidate, then your servant went to New Bethel, church, Rev. Hayes pastor, where we had good services and agreed to hold an Institute from the 13 to 17 inst. The Pleasant Grove, Beechridge, Mounds, Tamms, Hodges Park, and Villa Ridge, are expected at this meeting. We have agreed for a rally during the meeting, and looking for Mission and Educational money. I think we will get everything lined up shortly. Yours truly, S. J. HUNT Editor Gazette: — I wish to speak to the Baptist Family of IIIinois: Brethren and Sisters:— Greeting:—When our Convention adjourned last June in Auroro, it did so to convene with the Pleasant Grove Baptist church of Springfield Ill., June 10th 1914 by their invitation through Pastor J. J. Chappell. We have been resouly informed by them thru our Correspondent Secretary Dr. E. H. Borden that for some cause they could not take the convention. We at once set about with the Cor. Sec'y casting among the churches of the 'state to see who would care for us this year. At once the doors of the following churches were thrown open Olivet and Providence of Chicago and the two churches combined at Carbondale with Revs. Dorsey and Norment, pastors. The Executive Board was called and a unanimous vote was taken in favor of Carbondale, for June 10th. You are therefore asked as a family to make every needed preparation and come Carbondale, Ill. June to 1914 at 9:30 a.m. Let every Baptist church Sabbath School. Mission circle and indeed every Baptist organization belonging to Baptist churches in the State be represented there without fail. We have established Thursday as Missionary day when every effort will be bent toward raising money for Missions Home and Foreign. We would like to raise that day for missions alone $1000.00 (one thousand dollars.) Let us as Baptist for once forget the small amount required for representation fee. But let us come to the help of the Lord as against the mighty and hear our captain say forward march. Go preach the gospel to every creature. Come this year prepared not to raise points of order but to raise money for the extension of the kingdom of our Redeemer. The cause is demanding and the people are looking for men and women of service, and not come to show what we know about parlementary rules of order. The cause is greater than men. Therefore to be like he who sent us we come to minister and not to be ministered unto. Friday is Educational day. Everbody and everything must work toward that end. Both the men and women have said that all moneys sent us must be used for the purpose designated. You need not have any fear come and bring the Lord's money. Western College Macon Mo., and our National Training School Lincoln Heights Washington D. C. must be looked after Livingston School Metropolis Ill., must not be overlooked. The eyes of God and the people are upon us. The want of office should play no part but the doing of the work should claim our whole attention. Let every Baptist organization see how much money you can bring or send and how much work you can help do for the advancement of the Kingdom of God on earth. Let it be said oi the colored Baptist what was said of the builders of the walls of Jerusalem. "The people had a mind to work." Remember we have only one convention in the state made up of men and women and all working together under one Flag with a triple declaration One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism. Looking for you at Carbondale, Wednesday June 10th 1914 and praying the blessing of God upon every church and pastor with every Mission circle with its President and every S. S. and B. Y. P. U. in the state represented while we are assembled in session at Carbondale we earnestly ask that each church will be engaged in prayer to God for the power and presence of the Holy Spirit upon each of us individually and all of us collectively. I am your in Him. 1830 Market Ave., E. St. Louis. Ill.

After two years failing health, Mrs. Crecia Hooper, of this city who resided on Peal St., departed this life Friday night, about 10 o'clock. She assured all that all was well with her soul, during her illness and just before she died. She professed a hope in Christ, when but a small girl and was faithful until death. She was 55 years and 7 months old. She was married to Mr. Mack Hooper, who survives her 24 years ago. Deceased was a member of the 1st Baptist church, and H. H. of Ruth of this city, and the last sad rites were performed by that organization. The funeral was preached by Rev. C. W. Norment, of Carbon-dale Tuesday afternoon at 3 oat the church of her choice. Text, II. Tim. 4:6 from which a splendid eulogy was given, which was in keeping with the life she lived. She leaves two sisters and a brother Mrs. Maggie Renfro, of this city, Mrs. Irvan of Dover, Tenn., were present but the Bro. of New Orleans, La. was absent. The funeral was largely attended by sorrowing friends and members of the fraternity. The remains were placed in the Odd Fellows Cemetery to await the resurrection. The Gazette, extends a sympathetic hand to the husband and relatives in their sad hour of affliction. To the local W. E. & M. Societies of the Mt Olive Baptist Association: You are aware that we held no meeting with the Executive Board in March, being unable to attend myself, and the first meeting was financially poor. Each local is asked to send to the Sec. Sister Allie Barnard, of Metropolis, $1. to assist in the representation fee to the State convention as she will attend. It will meet in Carbondale, June 10. Hoping as many of the sisters and circles will represent in this meeting as can, also represent your circles in the Needle and Art work department. I will be glad to correspond with some sister that can travel in the District Mission work and visit the churches, Cor Secy F. J. FISHER, Pies. Cobden. Ill. OBITUARY. Notice. M. J. BLAKE, Pres.

"Don't you know, I sometimes think it might have been better if we had been content with the old-fashioned canals where all the talking was done by the man who was driving the mule!" He Understood. "And observe that we never let him play except in the minor." "I understand; he is so young!"—Le Rire. Backache is one of Nature's warnings of kidney weakness. Kidney disease kills thousands every year. Don't neglect a bad back. If your back is lame—if it hurts to stoop or lift—if there is irregularity of the secretions—suspect your kidneys. If you suffer headaches, dizziness and are tired, nervous and worn-out, you have further proof. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, a fine remedy for bad backs and weak kidneys. Francis M. Huffman, 55 E. 14th St., says: "My back had given out completely and came to get around. If I dropped one, I pick it up. If I pick it up, my back was terribly hame spells. I was laid up in bed. I lost hope, as it seemed that I had done for me. I fortunately heard of the PI and before long they made me strong and well, so that I could Frances M. Huff man, M. Huff Portsmouth, O. H. says: "My back had given out completely and I had no canes to get around. I shopped me, I couldn't stop to pick it up. My back was terrific, lame and guttural and spells I was laid up in bed. I lost hope. I nothing could be done for me. I for- tended to Doree's Kidney Pills and before long they made me strong and so I would work. I have remained cured."

Messenger Lindsay was fifty-nine years old, having been appointed in the government service when a youth of seventeen years. Lindsay was born in 1855, the property of the Temple family of Fredericksburg, Va. Miss Temple, one of the daughters of the family, who now lives in Richmond, Va., never came to Washington without calling on the old family slave, whom she held in great esteem and watched over. It was during the Civil war that Lindsay first made acquaintance with the army, with which he was to be associated for the rest of his life. In 1865, when ten years old, he used to sell plies to the soldiers of the army, encamped near Fredericksburg. One of the veterans of that campaign, now an official of the war department, tells of an attack of indigestion which he charges against a bit of pastry bought from Lindsay. A year ago Lindsay made his first appearance as an actor. In the role of himself, playing the part of a messenger to the commanding officer of the army, in a playlet written by Captain McCoy of the army, he appeared when the play was presented at the dinner of the Carabao society. Lindsay saw service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Detached from the war department he accompanied General Bell, in command of the army of pacification, and was his personal attendant throughout the campaign. Appointed a laborer in the war department July 1, 1872. Lindsay was given a fireman's job November 1, the same year. July 17, 1879, he was made a messenger. Transferred to the door of the adjutant general of the army, at that time the commanding officer of the military service. November 4, 1879, Lindsay was given the rank of an assistant messenger because of the change of service. June 16, 1893, he became a messenger at $840 a year. When the office of adjutant general of the army lost its directing influence, and the office of chief of staff was created, Lindsay was transferred from the one office to the other, maintaining his dignity and responsibilities. He was relieved for temporary duty in Cuba October 6, 1906, when he accompanied General Bell. He resumed his duties as messenger January 4, 1907. Lindsay served as messenger and personal attendant to every adjutant general of the army from incumbency of General Drum to that of General Corbin, and of every chief of staff of the army since that time. Not many years ago Russia was a strong rival of the United States in the production of petroleum. Now the Russian empire yields only about 68 per cent as much old as California alone, and not much more than Oklahoma. Two carpenters and a plumber from England have recently been traveling in Belgium. Vocational scholarships were awarded to them, by means of which they are investigating old and new methods of house construction. The colored man in America has gone through the same experiences as the white man. He gave 250 years of unrequited toil to build up the nation. In the Revolutionary war Crispus Attucks, a mulatto, was the first man to shed his blood that white men might be really free. One hundred and nine of the 425 dauntless sailors who fought with Perry at the battle of Lake Erie were colored men. Nearly 200,000 colored soldiers fought with white men in the slaveholders' rebellion in defense of their common country. In the Spanish-American war the colored troopers did their duty splendidly at El Caney. From a little farm owned by John Jones, a former slave in Shelby county, Tenn., has come to the Supreme court of the United States the question of whether former slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters who likewise were in servitude. The supreme court of Tennessee had held that ex-slaves have no inheritable blood. One of John Jones' brothers has taken the case to the United States Supreme court seeking a reversal. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the laws have to do with the home in some way. The United States has become the heaviest buyer of South African diamonds. A bill providing for women judges in the children's court has been introduced in the New York legislature. Margaret E. McNamara has been appointed chief matron of the Industrial School for Girls at Delaware, Ohio. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL A woman lives in Philadelphia who has seen three centuries; who has been an eye witness of the changes they have brought; who has herself been most thrillingly affected by them. Her name is Mrs. Kate Whitehurst, and her century and more of life was most of it lived as a slave in the South long years before there was a dream of questioning seriously the rights of slavery to exist. Her home is at 2237 Oxford street with her daughter, Mrs. Caroline Mitchell. She is still able to move about, although feebly, for she suffered a serious nervous shock a few weeks ago, when fire broke out right in her bedroom, and she was saved by policemen when she was not very far from suffocation. She is known to be in her one hundred and fourteenth year, but she may be somewhat older, and one estimate gave her age as one hundred and seventeen. But the recollection of her age by a daughter of her old master in the South, based on the record in her sales papers as a slave, is that she was born at the end of the eighteenth century, and she may be the senior by a few months of Aunt Mahala Ayers, whose one hundred and fourteenth birthday celebration has been planned as an event this year at the Home for Aged Colored People. Mrs. Whitehurst's own memory of dates in her long life carries her back as far as 1811, when the great comet, from whose year the most famous wines of Europe have been dated, was visible and gravely afrighting all over the world. "I saw the great star fall," she says, when she refers to that overshadowing event in her childhood, the one thing which could leave an indelible impression on the mind of a girl slave not yet in her teens, when all the ignorant, startled throng around her lived in terror of the great star's fall. She still sees herself standing in the midst of other slaves, at night under the soft southern sky, staring up at the awful portent and wondering, while her elders in that doubly hapless horde argued its consequences of pestilence and war. PRACTICAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS THE BOYS' SCHOOL Hampton girls are taught to do plain hand and machine sewing, cut, fit and make dresses, trim hats, weave rugs and select house furnishings. Tuskegee institute was opened July 4, 1881, in a rented church, a mere shanty, with 30 pupils and one teacher. To bring a school with such a beginning as that up to what it is now, and to gain for it a more than national reputation in the lifetime of one man, is a marvelous work. Back of it all is a master mind. There are scores of well-trained teachers, preachers (from Phelps Hall Bible training school), farmers, mechanics, trained nurses, seamstresses and good housekeepers sent out every years from this school, carrying with them the spirit of Tuskegee to uplift the race. Wyoming mines and oil wells in 1913 had an output valued at $37,000,000, and live stock gave the state's ranchers revenues totaling more than $35,000,000. Gas City, Kan., has a population of 1,200, but abolished the office of city marshal for the reason that there has been nothing for him to do in a long time. Boston is planning to establish municipal lodging houses. There are two wage-earning women to every five wage-earning men in Great Britain. In Denver a woman can sign her husband's name to a check even when the bank account is in the latter's name. Vancouver recently received a shipment of 125 cub foxes from Skagway, Alaska, valued at $100,000. Sweden this year will import coal from Snitzbergen. Blissfully Happy Cooing Doves for a Few Moments in a World All Their Own. It was the festive season, and the snow beat mercilessly into their faces as the young man and maiden turned the corner of the street. "Did you get any in your eyes, darling?" he asked, fondly, drawing her closely to him. "Yes, sweetheart," she murmured, searching for her elusive handkerchief. "Which eye, beloved?" he pressed. "The right one, lovey. Did you get any in yours? "Yes, dear heart," he responded, using the same corner of the handkerchief that she had used. "How sweet!" she exclaimed. "And yours was in the right eye, too!" "Ah!" she thrilled, "do you suppose it could have been part of the same piece of snow that got in our eyes?" "I hope it was!" he exclaimed, fervently, blinking a pleasurable beam with his good eye: "Wouldn't it be lovely, love?" she cried. "Oh, love, wouldn't it?" he wriggled. And the wind howled as though in pain, and from the house opposite a "Votes for Women" board fell with a sickening crash upon the pavement. MONKEY A VICTIM OF RABIES Case in Philippines Proves Fact Hitherto Matter of Speculation Among Medical Men. That monkeys may have hydrophobia is proved by an interesting case reported to the Journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. Ferdinand Schmitter, captain in the medical corps, U. S. A. A native brought to the laboratory for the study of tropical diseases at Manila a monkey he had caught the previous day in Laguna province. It appeared unusually excited; the following day it became savage and frotted at the mouth; the third day it died with paralysis of the hind legs and the muscles involved in swallowing. Microscopic examination of the brain showed Negri bodies, the usual proof of hydrophobia. A rabbit inoculated with an emulsion of the brain tissue had paralysis and died on the sixtieth day. Negri bodies were found in the rabbit's brain. HOTTEST AND DRYEST PLACES. The hottest region on the earth is on the southwestern coast of Persia, where Persia borders the gulf of the same name; for 40 consecutive days in the months of July and August the thermometer has been known not to fall lower than 100 degrees, night or day. The highest temperature recorded is in the great desert of Africa, where the thermometers often mark 150 degrees. The driest place in the world is that part of Egypt between the two lower falls of the Nile. Rain has never been known to fall there, and the inhabitants do not believe travelers when told that water can fall from the sky. CHANGING STYLES Mrs. Bacon—I believe you told me you didn't have any of those three-legged chairs in your parlor? Mrs. Egbert—Well, my husband came home late last night and ran against a chair in the parlor, and we've got a three-legged one now, all right." COLOR SCHEMES. "The men will have to rainbow their whiskers and hair," said the fashion leader. "But how about me?" replied the smooth-shaven, bald-headed man. "I can't rainbow; I'll have to Easter egg." "Have you ever been given any degrees in your career?" "Yes, there is one I have been given several times in different cities." THE OCCASION.

That's what a proprietor of a Broadway hotel in New York figures that the natives and visitors spend for revel and pleasure. It sounds fanciful, true. But here's how he spends the million: Dinners, $125,000; suppers and wine, $125,000; theaters, $175,000; taxicabs, $100,000; hotels, $175,000; cafes, flowers and other incidentals, $300,000. "If there isn't a million spent in the Broadway district in a night," he adds, "what is left wouldn't enable a man to have a steam yacht and a country home." Largest English Cathedral.

To the Baptist Women of the State Convention Galesburg Ill Mar 2, 1914 Dear Sisters: This is to notify you that the General Convention will convene at Carbondale, Ill., in June instead of Springfield, as that church will not be able to entertain the convention. We desire and urge that the circles send a large representation to help unite the forces in this great work that we are trying to do. The Master wants his workmen to be men and women of stability and truthfulness, not workers for a selfish motive, but do unselfishly His work the best we can, giving Him all the glory and the praise. We need more prayer among the workers of our state, prayer sincere and true. We ask that every christian worker that read this appeal will breathe a silent prayer to Him that doeth all things well for peace, unity and unbounded success at our meeting this year, as the Lord has blessed us so let us give. The christian life is a life of service and sacrifice, let us sacrifice a little time and attend this convention. At the recent Board Meeting plans were laid whereby we might increase our funds, when these appeals reach you we urge that each circle will take heed The President is calling for seven hundred dollars for Mission work, Education and aged Minister Fund. This a small amount for the great state of Ill. Pray without ceasing for our Convention. Yours in the work Susie F. Hazel Cor. See. 718 Arnold St. CAIRO. CAIRO.

H. H. Wallace, of the white Baptist church, Duquoin, Dear Bro. Phillips, I have read the book. I trust it have a large circulation and turn the tide of liberalism where it has set in and may strengthen the brethren all along the line. I am glad you contend for the Bible 'principles in your valuable little book. I am sending you the price of a book that it may be sent to some one who may be benefitted by reading it. Success to you in your noble work. May great success attend you at all times is my prayer. Your Bro. H. H. Wallace. We have a number of other commendations of the little book but I think these are quite sufficient at this time. It is very strange indeed to us to see how Eld. E. T. Martin can be retained in the Baptist ranks after sending out a little book that stands out diametrically opposed to the Baptist and Bible doctrine. He has gone so far as to denounce the brethren as being Catholics. It is also very strange, how he was enrolled with the members of the convention, when a very strong declaration of Baptist principles drawn up by Dr. Wm. Gray, of Chicago, as was adopted by the the convention, which prevented Milk and Cider Baptist from becoming members of the convention. This may be ascertained later on. There is a vast difference between the minister that has charge of a church, that believes in alien immersion, and endeavors to teach them the right way, than the one who takes charge of a church of this kind, and fall, in the rut with them, and attempts to deride "The principles, that was laid down by by Jesus Christ and practiced by the Apostles." If Rev. E. T. Martin, B. D., does apologize to the Baptist of the State, especially the convention, for having written his book, he be told that he can no longer remain in the fold.
