MOTTO : "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." 2 NEGRO SLAYERS BURNED TO DEATH BY MOB IN TEXAS Hundreds of Persons See Crowd Execute Men Who Shot and Killed Deputy Sheriff at Sulphur Springs. Pair Captured By Possee, Immediately Go To Deaths Residents Gather in Public Park to Watch Affair - Sheriff Also Wounded, is Expected to Die. Sulphur Springs, Texas, August 29.—King and Joe Richmond negroes, were burned to death in view of hundreds of persons by a mob in Bufford, Park here late to today. The negroes, while resisting arrest early today nine miles north of here, shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan A. Lippin and probably mortally wounded Sheriff J. B. Buttler. They were captured by a possee this afternoon, brought here and immediately burned. Tye possee dragged the negroes into town at the ends of ropes. As soon as the park was reached, pine dry goods boxes were brought from stores and oil poured upon them. A chain was dragged one of the prisoners and the other was handcuffed to him. A match was set to the pyre and the negroes pushed into the flames. As the negroes fell unconscious in the, dozens of revolvers were emptied at their bodies. One woman, of whom there were many in the park, snatched a revolver from a possemen's hand and fired into the flames. $\rightarrow$ Globe Democrat. Shame on so called christianed and civilized America! The Africans would hang their head in shame over such a brutal affair if it had been committed among them, though uncivilized. Where the regard for law and order? This country is fast returning to the days of savagery. These outlaws and murderers are sowing to the wind and they will reap the whirl-wind. The law should be enforced without partiality. The Negroes are not getting a fair deal in the courts of this country and no one knows it better than they. Often they are taken up, tried on suspicion before prejudiced white jury and rushed to the penitentiary, or they are turned over to mobs, especially it is true in the Southland, for not crimes always committed but often on mere suspicion and they executed without judge or jury, and knowing as they do that are not to have any trial or even protection from those sworn to uphold the majesty of the law, he becomes desperate knowing that it is but death they resist the officers of the law. Can you blame them? What would you do neighbor under similar conditionous? A mob is a dangerous thing to society and the mob spirit should be checked. Look at Georgia, The Negro will not always be the victim. The Lord will have to send more floods, winds and other disasters before proud America the county that wants to reform other lands will come to her senses. SPARTA Dear Editor, allow me space to say a few words in your worthy paper. Our S. S. was opened at 9:30 a. m. by the assistant Supt. Bro. Eugene Wallace and the teachers were active and at their classes instructing them in their lessons. The lesson was reviewed by Supt. J. M. Haynes. Bro. Wm. Macklin, was appointed Sunday School Missionary. At 11:00 our pastor Rev. P. B. French, preached a powerful sermon from I. Cor. 12:31 and at 8'olock p. m., our pastor used for a text I. Cor. 12:31 on the power of the best gifts. There will be a rally the 1st Sunday in Sept. for the benefit of the church extension and repair, as we are are to entertain the Missionary Baptist State Association which convenes with us in May 1916. The B. Y. P. U. is doing a good work. The Carnation club will entertain on the church lawn Saturday evening. Bros. M. C. Wrice, and Benj. Lance, will present the church a beautiful communion set the first Sunday in Sept., for which they credit. Mrs, Lillie Smith is in St. Louis, for a few days.

Brown is president and William M. Rich cashier. Starting six years ago, its total assets in 1909 of $10, 434 has increased to $67, 827 09 In 1915, which is being added to form twenty to thirty thousand each year. The Christmas Saving Club feature is very popular. In 1814 the bank paid to the depositors in this club the sum of $23,000. At the rate the members of the club are now making weekly deposits the outlook is favorable for the return of $100,000 the forthcoming Christmas week to the fortunate depositors. Messrs. E. T.

Meyers of 1363 North Euclid avenue, local manager of the Western Life and Accident Insurance Company, was shot and seriously wounded by a negro highwayma in front of 3516 Chouteau avenue at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night. The negro then robbed Myers of a pocket-book containing $13 and several receipts and fled. Myers, who is 52 years old, had gone to the Chuteau avenue address to collect insurance premiums from Henry Kickman and Mrs. Martha Martin. As he left the front yard he was confronted by a negro, who, covering Myers with a revolver, ordered him to throw up his hands. Myers complied, but as he raised his hands the negro fired. The bullet passed through Myers left hand and the left side of his neck. The highwayman then took the pocketbook and receipts CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank our many friends for their kind words of spmpathy during the last illness and death of our daughter, wife, mother and sister, Mattie Ardella Buchanan, who departed this life August 20, 1915.

Frank to life imprisonment, intimated in an interview here today that he will be a candidate for Congress at the next election and will make the lynching of Frank his political issue. MONEY To PATENT may be sourced on our At Address THE PATENT RECORD Ballroom AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In his "The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861" (Putnam's), C. G. Woodson says of the abolitionist agitation that it excited the more active minded of the Negroes. The story of Toussaint l'Ouverture and the talk of the rights of man that followed after the French revolution were disturbing influences. About Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston and New Orleans insurrectionary ideas were spread by Negroes coming from unhappy Santo Domingo in 1793. In 1800 "General" Gabriel, a slave, led an uprising in Virginia, and there was one in South Carolina. In 1816 Camden and in 1822 Charleston were threaten by Negro plots. Denmark Vesey, a slave who had bought his freedom, was an arch-conspirator. There were uprisings, more or less extensive, in North Carolina, and in 1831 Turner's mad raid spread terror among the white folks of Southampton county, Virginia. While these disorders were going on, however, the elementary education of the mass of the colored population was proceeding quietly. That it should do so was simply inevitable. Innumerable cases are cited of slaves, intelligent and ambitious and not at all inclined to political rebellion or anarchy, who learned to read and write and make good use of those fundamental acquisitions in advancing themselves along the road to "higher" learning. In their own upward progression they lifted others, the natural and efficient form of "uplift." When in its later phases the colonization movement centered upon Liberia its more liberal advocates favored higher education for Negroes in the hope that enlightenment would make them so discontented with the lot of their race in this land that they would voluntarily emigrate. In the South the general feeling among colonizationists was that the education should be conditional on expression of intention to carry it away from the American Negro. The promoters of the scheme planned to educate young Negroes in "mechanic arts, agriculture, science and Biblical literature," while the exceptionally bright ones were to be fitted for professional life and for public office. A curious museum of antiquities is the result of this investigation; from a school opened at Parsippany, N. J., in 1817 to give a four-year course to "African youth" of "talent, discretion and plety" and similar efforts at Newark, N. J., and Hartford, Conn., to the African Education society and the scramble for the "Kosciuszko fund" that seems never to have existed but in the imagination of the colonizationists. Unyielding opposition of free Negroes and abolitionists, who "could see no philanthropy in educating persons to prepare for doom in a deadly climate," kept the institutions planned by the colonizationists from materializing. At Philadelphia in 1830 a "convention of the free people of color" centralized the opposition. Thereafter the colonizing propaganda in this country was concentrated upon individual cases, and the policy of push was changed to one of pull; that is to say, the plan was to make Liberia attractive instead of making the United States repulsive. It was in 1816 that the National Colonization society of America was organized, that strange compound of sentiment and business. Lieutenant Stockton made a treaty with native princes in 1821. The native headmen themselves were slow to give up their When it is realized how far the Negro has come in the last fifty years it is not hard to account for the extent and degree of confidence in his future. The census of 1910 shows that two out of every five persons engaged in gainful occupations in the 16 southern states are Negroes. Of the entire Negro population in these states 63 per cent are in some form of industrial occupation. Of all the Negroes engaged in industrial activities 60 per cent are agricultural workers. Something like a million Negroes have developed from agricultural laborers to farmers in 50 years. The efforts of the colored man to help himself have been strongly in his favor, for they have inspired the confidence of the white people and made a plan of co-operation between the two much easier than it would otherwise have been. Because of this new valuation of the agricultural or industrial Negro there has come a truer appreciation of the human qualities involved. There has been the feeling that the fine qualities in the character of the faithful slave were the fruitage of Signor Marconi has been inspecting the wireless stations of Italy, and has found them ready for any war emergency.

It is all right for a woman to pretend her dinner was a failure, but it is a wise husband who disagrees with her. end of the slave trade, but by 1822 their objections were overcome and settlement was begun. It was in 1847 that the colony was made independent, marking the end of an extraordinary episode of mixed philanthropy and politics. A suit was filed in the Supreme court to gain compensation for work performed by slaves during the years from 1859 to 1868, in the production of cotton in the southern states and preparation of this cotton for the market. William G. McAdoo is made the defendant in his official capacity as secretary of the treasury. The plaintiffs are H. N. Johnson of Louisiana; R. Bowers of Texas; C. B. Williams of Mississippi, and Mamie Thompson of Tennessee, who say in the bill of complaint that they sue for themselves and others similarly interested. The bill sets forth that the secretary of the treasury of the United States obtained possession, and the defendant herein now holds the custody, of certain money which was a part of the fruit of the labor of the plaintiffs amounting to $68,072,388 under "internal revenue tax on raw cotton," and that this sum is not the legitimate property of the United States, and should be paid to those by whose labor the cotton yielding this revenue was produced. Another paragraph of the bill reads: "Plaintiffs and such of them as claim as heirs were subject to a system of involuntary servitude in the above named states, and other states commonly known as the Southern States." Referring further to the conditions under which the services were rendered, the petition says: "That the system of involuntary servitude by which plaintiffs were dominated, to wit: under and by force plaintiffs and their ancestors, against their free will of action and by coercion and justifiable fear of bodily injury or destruction, to render said labor." The petition was filed by Attorney E. M. Hewlett, as the local attorney representing Attorneys Cornelius J. Jones of Muskogee, Oklahoma, and H. A. Guess, Jones, who is said to have prepared the bill of complaint, is a colored lawyer. The petition asks that the case be referred to a master in chancery, to take proof of the claims of the parties interested, and that a bill of discovery be issued to ascertain among whom the money shall be distributed and the amounts that each shall receive, and to have the secretary of the treasury disclose the source from which the sum held by him was derived.

Most of the values are fixed by fools in the possession of money. hardships and careful training, and there was a doubt about these qualities springing from a different, freer soil. But southern whites are now coming to believe that these qualities depended not upon accidental conditions of slavery, but resided in the possibility of their human nature. The basis of this conviction is distinctly religious. White people have greater confidence in the Negro because they have greater confidence in all humanity.—Marc N.

METROPOLIS ILL SKYSCRAPER DREAM Savoy Architect Had It Over 300 Years Ago. Planned Building 361 Feet In Height, But It Remained for America to Realize His Vision. For many years foreigners have regarded the "skyscraper" as something typical and essentially American. Now a contributor to L'Illustration shatters the illusion; he points out that—as far back as its origin goes, anyway—the skyscraper is not American at all. The first one was planned over three centuries ago in a small town of Savoy. typical and essentially American. Now a contributor to Lillustration shatters the illusion; he points out that—as far back as its origin goes, anyway—the skyscraper is not American at all. The first one was planned over three centuries ago in a small town of Savoy. 1601, Jacques Perret, an architect living in Chambrey, designed a building that, although it was never erected, may properly claim to be the ancestor of the modern skyscraper. What a visionary dreamer must have been the architect who 300 years ago planned an 11-story building 361 feet in height—almost half as tall as the Woolworth building in New York. According to Perret's measurements, the building was to have been 168 feet long and 140 feet broad. And the walls were to have been over 12 feet thick! But in 1601 the methods of building construction were by no means so modern as Perret's plans; twelve-foot walls were none too thick to support 11 stories. Here, again, however, the ingenuity of the architect showed itself, for he found a way of making use of the walls without weakening their strength. "In the thickness of the walls," he wrote, "are little stairways, cabinets and cupboards, from the bottom floor to the top floor; thus there is no space wasted." Evidently the building was designed for a dwelling—perhaps an apartment house, for in describing his project, Perret wrote: "This great and excellent edifice can accommodate comfortable 500 people." Considering the date of the design, the project of Jacques Perret was in many ways a remarkably prophetic vision. In ornateness of detail and in fanciful exaggeration the building suggests the sixteenth century, but in its general lines it represents a much later period in architecture. Like the most modern skyscrapers of New York, it has a tower above the main building. And when he designed the terraced roof, did Jacques Perret dream of a roof garden? . Strength of Cast Iron. In a paper recently read before the Society of Chemical Industry the statement was made that the strength of cast iron was affected by the addition of wrought iron in the following proportions: With 100 parts of cast iron 10 parts of wrought iron increases the strength 2 per cent; 20 parts of wrought iron increases the strength 32 per cent; 30 parts of wrought iron increases the strength 60 per cent; 40 parts of wrought iron increases the strength but 33 per cent. The maximum result is therefore produced with 30 per cent wrought scrap. Stainless Steel. A Sheffield steel firm has recently evolved a new and novel product which is called stainless steel, which, when brought to a bright polished finish, is proof against rust, stain or tarnish. The first articles which have been made from this steel are cutlery, and after a prolonged use this has retained its original finish. Although specimens were subjected to a particularly severe test on fruits of various kinds known quickly to stain ordinary steel, there were no marks of any kind upon the surface of the cutlery. The Difference. "The man they threw out of the place was not like a burning house." "How so?" "He was full of fire after he was put out." "I suppose since the baby came, your husband is no longer the hero of your domestic drama?" "Oh. no; he is merely the walking rentleman." Valuable Farm Land. It is said that in some localities in Japan farm land sells for $10,000 an acre. Cracking Good— Post Toasties and cream A Royal Treat JUSTICE TO PLUMBER Writer Calls a Halt on the Venerable Joke. "Skilled Scientist" is New Appellation Given Him, and It May Be That He Will Be Held Deserving of it. Time to call a halt on the venerable joke about the plumber. He is a skilled scientist, just as is the surgeon a trained and highly intelligent artist. The only difference is that one ministers to a body diseased or smashed up in some of its essential parts, and the other ministers to the larger organism in which a group of humans make their home, healing its diseases so far at least as they have to do with the circulatory and other important systems upon which the health of the whole depends. For instance: the other day something went wrong with Smith's house in its most vital parts. The kitchen boiler cracked, to be definite. The symptoms could be interpreted by anybody, and clearly a major operation was immediately necessary. The skilled surgeon was summoned. It was decided that the house should have a new heart. Also after consultation and mature consideration it was determined that certain minor defects of the circulatory system, as leaking taps and insufficient valves, should be patched up and put on the job again. The cisterns no longer should murmur. Alas! The following night Smith was awakened by the steady dripping of water close by the side of his couch. The candle which was hurriedly procured showed that upon the ceiling there was a circular patch of wetness rapidly gaining in size. Quizzical investigations showed that all seemed to be in order. The ear applied to walls and floors detected no gaspings or gurglings. The reservoirs seemed to maintain their correct levels. The telephone emergency call got from the nearest plumber, after a half hour of rather wild work, merely the advice—"Tap on the supply pipe with a hammer." That was not entirely satisfactory, and another plumber was simpioned. He measured, calculated and listened. He finally diagnosed thus: "Must be the supply pipe just before it enters the top of the reservoir." And all hands went over to the house, turned off the supply in the collar, drained the clisterns and sought peace and sleep once more. In the morning the plumber made his official call. A brief examination convinced him that his colleague's diagnosis of the night before had been correct. Serious measures being necessary, he began to pull up floors and remove baseboards. Thus there were laid bare the secrets of the anatomy of the house. All the hidden organs were revealed. Wires and pipes and traps and mysterious appl ances hidden beneath paint and wall paper acquired a threatening look and the observer could not but wonder what might happen if they should once take possession of the premises on their own account. Examination by the master surgeon, with Mr. Smith trailing at his heels, revealed no serious lesions nor fractures. A temporary restoration of circulation showed no flaw in the main arteries. Mr. Smith in despair mentioned one or two of the emergency measures of the night before, the minor adjustments of taps and valves. The surgeon smiled. "Fill up the cisterns and wait." he said. The pipes began to throb. The water rose to the customary level. When the top of the reservoir filled and the noise was reduced to the minimum, there it was again. There in the bedroom—"Drip, drip," it came again. The flaw was found at last. It was in the waste or overflow pipe of that top reservoir. For the seventeenth time the weary Mr. Smith climbed to the top of his house. There was a short spout, perhaps six feet long, that made the whole trouble—Boston Herald.

When a missionary explains that the heathen are experiencing a wonderful awakening, that is a sign he is going to pass the hat. And if a woman had any other excuse for doing a thing than "because" she probably wouldn't do it. The earth was created for man, and the average fellow labors under the defusion that he is the man. Every man may have his price, but sooner or later the majority land on the bargain counter. Children whose parents are addicted to nagging are entitled to lots of sympathy. The more money a man has the more he can refuse to lend. Students in the school of experience never graduate. It's a short step from cunning to rascality. COMPLETE AND NOISY MEAL Traveler Surely Well Fitted With Abundance of Nourishment and "Music." The longest and noisiest dinner that Mr. James Sibree, Jr., the author of "A Naturalist in Madagascar," ever attended was given by the governor of a town called Ankarana. About a score of officers were at the table and seven ladies. After a long grace by the pastor, dinner was brought in, and consisted of the following courses: First, curry; second, goose; third, pigeons and watergowl; fourth, chickeau cutlets and poached eggs; fifth, beef sausages; sixth, bottled tongue; seventh, sardines; eighth, pig's trotters; ninth, fried bananas; tenth, pancakes; eleventh, manioc; twelfth, dried bananas. And lastly, says Mr. Sibree, when I thought everything must have been served, came haunches of roast beef. Claret went about very freely, and at length some much stronger, liquor; and the healths of the queen, "Our friends, the two foreigners," then those of the prime minister, chief secretary and chief judge, were all drunk twice over, the governor's 'coming last; and each was followed by musical and drum honors. There was a big drum, just outside on the veranda, as well as, two small ones, besides clarinets and fiddles, and these were in full play almost all the time. Then the room was filled by a crowd of servants and aides de camp, and the shouting of everyone, from the governor down, was deafening. The old gentleman directed everything and everyone. I was glad when I could take my leave, after two hours' sitting, but I was not to leave quietly. The governor took me by the hand and escorted me home, while the big drum was hammered at ahead of us all the way.—Youth's Companion. To Supply Their Own Heat. In an eastern city the pastor of a colored church consulted a plumber and steamfitter about the cost of putting in a baptistry. The estimate was soon furnished and the figure was regarded as satisfactory. "But," said the plumber, "this covers only the tank and the water supply. Of course, you will want some sort of arrangement to heat the water." But the colored pastor had a truly economic mind, and his own ideas of religion also, for he promptly dissented. "You see," said he to the plumber, "I don't low to baptize nobody in that there baptistry what hain't got religion enough to keep him warm." —The Continent. The Financial Side. "Do you think it a mistake to regard a summer engagement seriously?" asked Plimpson. "Not at all," replied Pulson, who spoke from experience. "Certain phases of it should be given careful consideration. For instance, 1 always set aside a certain amount to be expended on a summer courtship. Above that I never spend a penny."

Although it was only ten o'clock in the morning, the traveler decided to stop and ask for refreshment, sitice he might not come on anything so promising for many miles, A tall, apparently {il-fed woman came to the door. She looked at the traveler in amazement, and seemed to-be resentful when he made known bis wants. “We've ot,” she said in a reproach: ful tone, “Tom's gone to town to fetch cornmeal.” ‘Tho traveler suggested a glass of milk. Again the woman shook her head, whilo her sallow visage lengthened, “Tom went and forgot to milk the cow. Ho won't be back till evenin’.” ‘That seemed to be the traveler's op- portunity, both to show his good nm ture and to obtain a glass of milk. “1d be glad to milk her for you,” he offered. “I was'brought up on a farm.” Again the woman shook her hea. “Ye cain't, stranger.” And this time hor resentment was tinged with futile rogret. “Tom rid the cow to town.” Wheat Wee in the Barrel?

Most Difficult Operation of its Kind Yet Performed on Living Sub- Ject Without Shedding Blood. While at work on his farm a Kan- sas man carelessly put a wire staple Into his mouth. . Something occurred ‘to make him start suddenly and the staple was drawn down his windpipe, points uppermost, finally lodging in ‘the lower lobe of the right lung. Lo cal physicians were unable to remove the intruder, and so the farmer went to Pittsburgh to consult Dr. Cheval- jer Jackson, Doctor Jackson succeeted in re moving the staple not only without in- fury to the man’s lung, but without shedding w drop of blood. His account of the achievement, as given in the Journal of the American’ Medical ‘As- sociation, is an excellent example of tho patience and ingenuity which spell success for the modern surgeon, The first step was the making of a series of X-ray photographs of the lung. These showed that the staple had worked down’ by @ rachetiike moverent deep into the lung, .Every breath favored its going still deeper, but was powerless to force the in- truder back because of the tmmodiate catehing of one or both points. An instrument called a bronchoscope was introduced down the patignt's ‘throat and into the lung. This re- vealed the staple tightly wedged in the smallest lung passage it could. en- ter, and with both points concealed in swollen mucqus membrane, To pull on such @ body would mean the rip- ping of the bronchial wall and certain death to the patient. i ” Working the body slightly down- ward with a forked rod passed through “the bronchoseope, the points were lib- erated. The staple was slightly ro Gi | a “ ye tf a Tigt Figs Figl, _Mig2 £95 How the Staple Was Removed. Fig. 1: Shows bronchoscope; A, point of staple imbedded in swollen mucous membrane.
